briefly Is the general approval. al
though our statute barely whispers
that approval, of the equal criminal
ity of the buyer with the seller.
Governor Baxter in hundreds Of
addresses throughout the State has
powerfully emphasized the fact that
the possessor and user of intoxfcants
for beverage purposes, although not
Cut-lawed by the statutes Of Maine
is nevertheless n violator OF the
Constitution of the United States
and an active opponent of national
sobriety. At the last session OF the
legislature the statute regarding con-
spiracy was so amended as to make
the buyer and seller of Intoxicating
liquors conspirators to the law. This
is the first recognition. so far as we
know in the Statutes of Maine. OF the
guilt Of tho buyer of Intoxicating IL
quor. The presence of this law In
the Statutes of Maine Is q distinct
mark of progress. Its application by
some of our officers would mark an
other step. But the best evidence
that Maine Is speeding up enforce
ment Is the fact that our largest CITY,
Portland has after many years or
passing the buck" to the county Of
ficers, directed its police department
to cooperate with other officers. in
enforcing the liquor and gambling
laws of tho state. The new city
government of Portland has created
a Civil Service commission which
has supervision. of the police force,
and at the head of this Commission
Is ons Of our board Of directors on
whom we can depend to secure ef-
fective service from the police ce-
partment
Reports come to us from q few
other cities and larger towns that
municipal officers are at last rccog-
nizing their obligation under the sta
tute to cooperate in the enforcement
Of law.
The City OF Lewiston has an ac-
lively cooperating police department.

w om an S Idea Of A Dark
 Horse
By MARGUERITE MARSHALL,

EVERYBODY has Dark Horse can- IT. uidate for Pesident-
 So've we-he's Pitch Dark--but we don't mind telling you a few things about him.
 He's going to bring back pre-war taxes and pre-war prices. What Chief Magistrate McAdoo calls
 the single-track mind of woman Simply cannot understand why it is
 necessary to pay war taxes on
 matinee tickets, Now that there isn't any war and hasn't
 been one For nearly six years! Also, our Presidential Dark Horse Is
 going to get the woman vote By promising good silk stockings and
 decent kid gloves at the 1914 prices
 of $1 per pair. He's going to put it in his platform That nobody shall charge more than 10
 cents for an ice cream soda; That a certain patriotic brand of choc-
 plates, which sold at 50 cents per
 pound 10 years ago, Shall once more drop down to that
 price-from so cents; That coffee with a pre-war price of S5
 cents per pound---three pounds for
 a dollar Shall no longer be doled out by a Vesey
 street grocer at 45 cents; That publishers shall stop asking $2
 and S2.50 for novels worth not a
 cent more than $1.50; That parlor cars and sleeping berths
 shall be put on a pre-war basis. Our Darak Horse, if nominated, will
 pledge That Congress shall pass law restrain
 ing any husband, employer or oth-
 CT male of the species From interference with a woman's di-
 vine right. To wear her skirts, her bathing suit,
 her hair The way she pleases! Our Dark Horse believes in a. plat
 form plank And, if necessary, an amendment to
 the constitution Which shall safeguard any married
 woman's right to a pay envelope, And shall forbid an employer to fire
 her because she's married, Or a husband to fuss at her Because she'd rather run a typewriter
 than a kitchen. If our Dark Horse becomes President He'll appoint at least one woman to
 his Cabinet, And three or four more to the embas-
 sies, And he'll see to it that his political
 supporter Stop patronizinS women Stop using them for headlines and hos
 pitality and hot air. A fair field and no flub-dub-- Equal chances in work and honor and
 office That's what American women voters want Our Dark Horse will give it to them He also stands for open windows open
 ly arrived at, Tn business offices Even though it means losing the entire
 bad-headed vote. One of his most deeply rooted rrinci-
 ples Is that men are just as funny as wom- And he favors constructive education
 on that point among the comic-strip
 artists. He would make trick mustaches, plush
 hats, greased-cat pompadours- And forgetting a wife's birthday Federal Offenses! Who is he, this Grand Good Man, You ask? Oh, well-probably he isn't {!

Besides that, she had no idea where l danced-so if you told her what resort you intended visiting it meant nothing to her. I suppose you charged her to keep silent on the subject, didn't you"
 'Yes."
 "Then do not blame her for following your instructions. She was bound to silence by both you and me. Perhaps you have felt that she might have warned me" -

 "Yes,"
 ''He took that risk when he sold liquor there-as took risks when l danced in his place."
 "But-but," the man interposed, "you did not know what kind of place it was."
 She ignored his remark. "This is all very hard on my little sister," she said irrelevantly. Perhaps you will drop in and cheer her up some time. Good morning!" h..
 With a nod, she was gone.

Wasting ! y Words In Y fiting

By RUTH LEIGH

<IETAKE a letter, Miss Brady-Mr. S J. c. Smith, No. 894 Willis
 =. Street, Indianapolis. Dear Sir In reply to your letter of the 9th in: stant, we wish to state that we cannot comply with your request, due to a change in our plans. Regretting very much that we cannot serve you in this instance, and anticipating the pleasure of further pleasant business relations, we are etc."
 Is this type of letter familiar to you? Do you work for--of are you yourseit- a word waster If, so, heed this sug- gestion: -g .3g
 S When you are writing business deter say what you have to say in q few words. It is just as easy to begin a letter in this way: Owing to a change in our plans we find that we can not, etc." as it is to begin it In reply to yours of the 9th instant, beg to state etc.
 A simple rule for writing any let ter, and particularly business letter, is: Get down to- facts. State your message at the beginning of the letter: A great many persons are self-conscious when they attempt to write letter and think it necessary to be cllterary. They state their message in the long est, most elaborate way possible, using unnecessary phrases; and making their own meaning obscufea l have seen busi- ness men spend shalf' hour trying to decide how they should phrase. a certain statement in letter. If some one were to say to them: eJust what do you want to tell that man in the letter!' they would give brief, concise an swer that would serve admirably for the facts to be conveyed. But instead of "talking" in letter-saying some thing clearly and, briefly as one might in summing it up in conversation-- some folks find it necessary to be long winded, simply because the facts are to be written.
 When you start out to write let ter, ask yourself: "Just what do want to say in this letter." Answer the question clearly in your own mind, and then without looking for elaborate words or sentences, simply set down the facts that answer your question.

 of a convulsive seizure. Although terrifying in it's aspects, a, a,convulsion is rarely fatal. Nevertheless repeated seizures of this kind cannot fail to have lasting impression upon the nervous system, which in babyhoed is delicate and sensitive in the extreme. gss,
 The most common causes are indi- gestion, teething, the onset of fever, the onset of any of the infectious dis eases of childhood (measles and so on). children, such as bananas or tough meat, is a well known cause.
 Children born of highly nervous par ents, or who have become weakened through prolonged disease, such as rickets or diarrhea, are prone to spasms, especially under the age of two. ,... .,....=
 Therefore, mothers should guard their little ones in every possible man. ner against all irritation, whether through the intestinal tract or by fret ting the nerves directly, since it can not be denied that many an attack is due to carelessness, neglect, ignorance on the part of those responsible for the childs health.
