THE TEETH OF THE LAW.

A western judge has announced
that hereafter he will award prison
sentences to all persons who are con-
victed of selling habit-forming drugs
in violation of law. An eastern judge
has indicated that similar punishment
will be imposed upon men who de-
~liberately violate the Sherman anti
trust law. If this policy of imposing
prison sentences instead of fines be-
comes general, this will be a whole
lot better world in which to live.

MAKE THE FARM HOME
AN ATTRACTIVE A
By Ethel Parke Jones.

To make the small home, and es-
pecially the farm home, q thing of
beauty with the least possible expen-
diture-there is an art worth every
thing to all of us. When l say every
thing l mean everything worth while,
including the happiness of the n
tire family. AS a matter of fact,
money is not the great factor in the
making of a beautiful interior.
These are the days when many of
us are finding it possible to send III
sons and daughters to good schools
and colleges. So far, so good, but we
cannot stop there. Even though the
only desire of the farm parents may
be to provide the best education for
these young people, and that best
seems to call for sacrifice in the
home, let not the parents think to
sacrifice the beauty and comfort of
good furnishings. to this end!
Granting there is always one room
wherein the family may gather so-
cially and wherein visitors are al
ways welcomed, let us begin with this
room. This is the room which is 60

FOOD YOU DO NOT
LIKE, OTHERS EAT

That we are far too conservative
regarding our choice of foodstuffs is
evidenced by the varied selection con-
sumed by jewellers in other lands.
There seems to be a national prejud-
ice against certain articles of diet,
which, if overcome, would lead to a
more abundant food supply for an
ever-increasing population.
There is nothing wrong with grass
hoppers if they are prepared in the
proper manner. If scriptural evil
dence counts for anything, they are a
delectable delicacy, and permission
was granted by Noses TO use them as
an article OF food.
There are two families of these in
sects, brown and green. As Scripture
is not a cookery recipe book, We give
the following as the best method of
preparation:
The crcn o. grasshoppers may be
collected wherever found. There will
be 10 difficulty in locating them, for
the male is a loquacious insect, de-
lighting to hear his own rasping chirp
as ne scrapes one wing against the
other.
The grasshoppers are then placed
II a mortar and pounded with the
pestle into a pulp. One quart of
2srt wine is added, the whole being
worked up to form a stiff compound.
This makes a novel sandwich paste
for those who like to try novel dish
es. Grape juice serves the same pur-
&ose as port wine.
Many, of course, might prefer
sandwich paste made of ants; the ma
tives of Africa are partial to this
compound. 1t forms an extremely
nourishing dainty.
Junker, the African explorer, re-
lates that the chief of a tribe of the
Mesharch river, sent him twenty ham,
pers of dried ants for provisions on
his journey.
The ants can be pounded into a
paste They have a distinctly meaty
flavor, not unlike kidney or fresh
mushrooms.
Moths and butterflies might not
seem to us of much value as a food
but the Romans used them, as well
as beetles, as an article of diet.
The Brazilians are fond of an in
sect that feeds on the palm-leaf.
In Chill and Peru one of the nation.
al dishes is composed of potatoes anC
a beetle-like insect called a "'chiche.'
1t is found in large numbers under
stones along the watercourses.
Flies are not to be ignored in max.
ing up a list of queer things people
eat. The blacks of Narringeri, il
Africa, dine upon the larvae of a com
mon fly, which they find under the
bark of certain trees.
It is astonishing the diversity O
substances in the catalogue of arti
cles of food. Nearly every species o
vertebrae animal is eaten by human
beings somewhere or other.
In the Andaman Islands, the eatinl
of a live rat is deemed a test o
manhood, and no man is permitted t.
nYsrry until he has accomplished thi
feat. The Chinese are not alone il
being partial to dog outlets, for Am
erican Indians have from time i'm
Memorial been fond of this dish.
A century ago, the negroes of Lou
isiana, considered roast dog as foo
for the gods.
There is much to be learned fror
the ancients concerning food and foo
values. Meat, or animal flesh of a
kinds, was considered by the ancien
athletes as the prime nourishment G
their muscles, and we find camt

The Third Maine District

Mr.. Blaine's old district, the
Third Maine, has wandered from
the true Republican faith once in
forty years. The special election
on Monday shows that it is still

There was rain and snow to chill
an enthusiasm that didn't exist.
Both the Republican and the
Democratic candidates for Rep
resentative were sound on the
prohibition goose. The great
bonus humbug was too transpa-
rent to be tried on the hard
headed Dirigo voters. Neither

old-fashicned, somnolent by.elec-
ton. Both parties as usual pro-
fess to be gratifed with the re
suit.
This is not highly convincing
perhaps, except in so far as it
proves, what nobody can deny,
that the great Harding tidal
wave" has receded and disap-
peared. In 1920 the Republican
majority was more than 10000.
Now it is somewhat over 5000.
The vote has been cut in two.
The Republican majority has
been cut two-thirds. In 1918,
when the women didn't vote, it

was about $500. That
was NOT a cheerful Republican
year in Maine. Two counties in
the Third District were carried

the Third Maine District, as
everywhere else, is sagging, 1t
would be unjust too lay toe much
stress upon a spiritless election;
out why was it spiritless? The
Republicans are sorely in need .
Of cheering omens and a little
