State Senator Harry P. Lane of

State Senator Harry P. Lane of
Lewiston has announced that he is a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for sheriff of Androscoggin
county. Senator Lane is widely
known in business and social circles
and proved his political strength two
years ago when he defeated Charles
Starbird Of Auburn as a candidate for
State senator. He is proprietor Of
the George w. Lane & Company, con-
tractors. of Lewiston. Mr.. Lane de-
clared that he is in the shrievalty con-
test to stay, regardless of any at
tempts at pre-primary slate-making.
The Democratic slate reported to have
been made up by some of the leaders,
has caused considerable stir among
some of the Democrats in that coun-
ty who were reported to have ambi-
lions to attain places on the county
ticket and assert that they were not
even consulted about the slate-making.
The Lewiston Sun states that there
appears to be question whether this
slate will be accepted by the rank and
file without contest.

Shall I Eat Meat2

A medical treatise written in 1928
by Laurence Fries, a physician Of that
far.away date. has just been found in

a race Of mental supermen might be
made to loom up in the country by
proper dieting.

views, about what brain workers
should eat He suggested fried fowl.
fresh poached eggs mot boiled, fried
or scrambled), apples, ounces, hazel
nuts and red wine" He was strictly
against the eating Of red meats, for
he believed they would develop physi.
cal strength at the sacrifice OF mental
Development.
Today one of the great questions
agitating people who are concerned
with proper eating is, Shall / eat
meat"
For those normal beings who are not
burdened with a special disease which
cuts meat entirely from the diet. a
moderate indulgence in good red meat.
and white meat, too, seems to do no
harm. However, meat is not an essen

Since the World War meat eating
has been cut down to some extent.
For the average family eats meat but
once a day at the principal meal. This
is plenty, In fact, two or three times
a week is often enough FOR many
people. It Is also best not to drink
