DRUNKENNESS GROWING LEss.-It is a no
torious fact that the great tendency among
the people to stimulate is having reaction
Lately an article called Moxie Nerve Food
has appeared upon the markets, which is
sold in all the drug-stores hotels and drink
ing-saloons in the country, that gives all the
nerves require OF a stimulant, without re-
ter. The profit is about the same as on
whiskey. 1t is taken by all classes of
the people, from the clergyman to the
tramp, for its remarkable, harmless sup
port to the nervous system. Nervous,

nervousness in few days and does not

Grange Notes.

AT Hillsboro, Oregon, the finest
grange hall in the state was dedicated
July 4th.
The cry from southern Oregon is:
Give us the grange" Who will be
the first to enter this field?
A HANDSOME new grange hall has
lately been dedicated at Scott's Station,
Maryland, by State Master H. M.
Murray.
THE town of Calvert, Texas, has
offered $4,000 and 200 acres of land to
have the state grange fair located at
that point. Other towns are bidding
for the location.
WEST BRANCH GRANGE, Landgrove,
saysa correspondent, moves on about
as it has for five years. We are going
to purchase $50 worth of books to start
grange library. We have but fifteen
members. We have meetings twice a
MONTH"
elbow are we going to change the eX-
listing laws made in the interest of the
capitalists" The answer is clear and
distinct: BY getting the farming class
to think properly; to stand up for their
rights as prescribed by the Constitution
of the United States; by uniting with
the order known as the Patrons of Hus-
bandry, and by realizing that the main
stay is in organization.
"UNITED we stand, divided we fall -
is motto which should adorn the walls
of every grange hall and farmers home
in the land. Unity and organization
are the only hope of American farmers,
and when they organize and defend
their interests in body then they will
receive just recognition from the hands
of the government and agriculture will
be truly the greatest and noblest en-
ployment of man."
A wELL-KNOwN Connecticut valley
farmer, who has always been more OF
less opposed to the grange, now says
the grange is the farmers friend. "It
is growing stronger and stronger, and
will soon make the farmers power felt
in congress and in legislatures and in
all political parties when it is necessary
for farmers to assert themselves to pro-
tect their own interests and the wei.
fare of the whole country"
SUCCESSFUL cooperation depends
upon each individual doing some work
for the whole body. And this applies
especially to organizations like the
grange. Each member has duty to
perform and should do everything in
his power to lend interest, dignity and
value to the order. Education, agita.
ton and the backbone to act on the
policy adopted by your organization
are what is needed. - Farm and Home
THE fraternal orders are a national
blessing. They promote thrift, economy
and sobriety without freezing the SOU
into selfishness, as is apt to be the case
in the usual struggle for wealth or high
social position. They bring men into
closer social relations and cherish those
feelings that thrive and put forth bios
SONS in each others welfare. They
make men thoughtful and helpful, eX,
banding the sentiments of love, charity
and goodwill. They teach us the re-
ligion that breaks bread to the hungry
gives cup of water to the thirsty
watches at the bed of the sick, visits
the imprisoned, the fatherless ant
widows-duties that are sadly neglected
and for long time were supposed Il
be confined to the church-Mortime,

DYSPEPSIA makes the lives of many peo-
pie miserable and often leads to self
destruction. We know of no remedy for
dyspepsia more successful than Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t acts gently, yet surely and
efficiently, tones the stomach and other
organs, removes the faint feeling, creates a
good appetite, cures headache and refreshes
the burdened mind. Give Hoods Sarsa-
parilla fair trial. 1t will do you good.

A Confirmed Dyspeptic.

G. Canterbury, of 141 Franklin st.,
Boston, Mass, writes, that, suffering
for years from Indigestion, he was at
last induced to try Ayers Sarsaparilla
and, by its use, was entirely cured.
Mrs. Joseph Aubin, Of High street,
Holyoke, Mass, suffered for over year
from Dyspepsia, so that she could not
eat substantial food, became very weak,
and was unable to care for her family.
Neither the medicines prescribed by

helped her, until she commenced the
use of Ayers Sarsaparilla. "Three
