kindergarten PUPILS
Receive Half Pint
Milk Each Day

In the middle of each forenoon the
q kindergarten pupils in the Water
vile schools receive a half pint Of
milk. made possible by a recent rul-
ing of f. c. Glover, superintendent
of schools. The plan was instituted
because it was felt that the children
were too young to so without some
sort of refreshment from early morn
ing until noon. Practically all the
pupils of the kindergarten are under
five years of age. Many of them
have light breakfast at an early
hour. not heavy enough to sustain
them until noon. Recent investiga-
tins have show some of them to be
undernouriShed and the diet of milk
was deemed advisable.
A careful study of the results of
the diet are to be made, the children
being weighed before it is started
and at regular intervals thereafter.
A later check-up of the weights will
show.
At present there are kindergartens
at the North grammar. the Western
avenue, the Walnut street and the
Grove sire schools with total
registration of AZ boys and 81 girls.
superintendent Glover syas there is
need of another kindergarten to be
located in the RedinSton stree school
before the facilities will be fully ade-
uuate to care for the work.

Probable Cause
Found Against
GirOux Liquor Charge

Probable cause of manufacturing IL
quor was found in municipal court
Yesterday against Albert Giroux of
W lnSloW and he was bound over for
his appearance before the April term
of the Kennebec county superior court.
BondS were set at $780, and these he
procured.
GirouX's house in Winslow was
raided by deputy sheriffs William "
Nash and Oscar Haglund about z
O'Clock last Saturday evening. Accord
ing to the testimony of Nash, a boiler
SO punctured as to be adapted to the
use OF a still was found in a closet
leading from the kitchen. Here also
was found quantity of dry corn and
pruneS in pail. In another closet,
leading from a bedroom, was found a
piece of rubber tubing and a metal
trough which when connected with
the boiler. it was alleged, would make
a workable still.
The attorney for the defense was
f. Harold Dubord and in cross-exam-
ming Nash he brought out the point
that, although the corn and prunes
were the constituents for making dis
titled liquor. it could not be used for
this purpose without the addition Of
water. In anothed pail was found
some potato Feelings and other veg
etable matter in a high state of fer
mentation. This was not taken. the
deputies stated, because of its often
sive odor. Giroux claimed that the
contents of the second pail were for
his swine. and he asked Nash and
Haglund to go with him to the barn
where the animals We're kent This
they refused to do. saying that their
warrant did not include the barn.
Giroux entered no defense, but Du-
bord in pleading said that his client
never entertained a thought of SELL
ing any liquor, but as the law stated
that the mere possession of still was
Sufhcient to bind a respondent over to
the higher court he saw no need in
taking the courts time in introducing
Witnesses The corn and prunes, he
| sald, could not be considered to be
mash as the requisite water was lack
ing.
The complaints that had been made
against Giroux were both in the form
OF unanimous notes and Mr.. Dubord
claimed that evidence of the sale or
manufacture of liquor should be pret-
~ well founded before the search of a
mans house was made. The notes,
he argued, might be the means of an
enemy of Giroux's to cause trouble.
and he ended by saying that he
thought there was altogether too much
searching of private homes without
, sufficient cause
