whiskey, and which stimulate you for an

How THE MILLIoNAIREs AND JUDGES TAKE
IT.-Our Massachusetts MoXie is rapidly
creeping into the esteem of high circles.
Colonel Bennett, the Philadelphia eight
millionaire, says it saved him, and he in
tends to build a monument to it in Fair
mount Park. Judge Brewster of the SUI
preme court talks large on it, too. First
class actresses consider it part of their
outfit and rich men put it on their side
boards. On the street five MoXies are sold
by the glass to one of anything else. 1t is
wonderful, but only common as Massa-
chusetts production. Massachusetts was
the father of the revolution and the means
of aboishing slavery.

of indigestion. Try ALLcocK's Porous

is the definition given in the first Sec
ton of the bill to prevent trusts re-
Gently introduced by Senator Reagan
of Texas:
A trust is the combination of capital,
or skill, by two or more persons for the
following purposes: First, to create or
carry out restrictions on trade. Second
to reduce or to increase the production,
or prices of merchandise or commod-
tiles. Third, to prevent competition in
the manufacture, making, sale or pur-
chase of merchandise or commodities.
Fourth, to create monopoly.
Section two of the same bill provides
that any person who may become a
member of any such trust or become en-
gagged in the business of any such trust,
in any trade or business carried on
with foreign countries, or between the
states or territories, or between the
United States and the waters adjacent
to any foreign country, shall be guilty
of high misdemeanor and shall, on
conviction, be fined not less than 81 200
nor more than $4,000, and may be inn
prisoned in the penitentiary for not
less than one nor more than five years.
The third section declares that the pur-
chase by any trust, or by the agent
of any trust, of merchandise or
commodities in foreign country, fol
sale in this country, or the manufac-
ture, making or purchase of any mer-
chandise or commodity in this country
for sale in foreign country, or in any
state or territory, for sale in any other
state or territory, shall be deemed vio-
lation of the provisions of this act.

Concentration of Power.

Many farmers have but faint idea
of the influence and power that the
class to which they belong possesses.
They know that, single-handed, they
are of little account in their town or
county and they apparently have no
influence whatever. This being true,
what influence could they expect to
exert in state or national legislation,
even if they should make an effort?
The answer is, manifestly none. There
are but few men of any class who
possess ability or character enough to
make them an individual power, and
only in rare instances does this become
dominant and never permanent. An
injudicious act, or sentence incautiously
uttered, may turn the popular current
in another direction and the individual
power and influence is gone. The
strength of farmers is not in individuals
alone, but in the concentration of
energies that may be directed to spe-
citic purposes with such an effect as to
insure their attainment. When this is
done, the farmers, although individually
powerless, become moving power in
the land. Conservative, intelligent, law
abiding, engaged in an industry upon
which all others depend and embracing
majority of the voting population of
the country, they should be enabled to
make their influence felt in the enact
ment and execution of wholesome and
judicious laws for the government of
the people. How to effect this con-
centration of energies and consequent
influence in this direction and hold it in
its proper place is very important
question. For more than twenty years
this problem has been before the peo-
pie in a direct form, and during the
last half of this period, and more espe-
cially for the past four or five years, it
has seemed as if it might be solved in
such a way as to produce the most
gratifying results. The wise legisla-
ton in regard to agricultural interests,
both state and national, that has been
placed upon our statute-books, in &C.
cordance with the direct demand OF
farmers, through the grange, has called
the attention of the country to this or.
ganization as means of procuring wise
and preventing unwise legislation. II
has been seen that the grange, although
embracing in its active membership but
small minority of farmers, yet by the
direct concentration of its forces ant
by its representative character is able
to exert marvellous influence in legis
lative halls. This being an acknowl
edged fact, no intelligent farmer has {
moral right to permit his influence tC
become a dead letter by inaction
Neither should he permit the burdens
to be borne by others. Citizens every
where are equally interested in all thai
affects the welfare and general pros
perity of the country; and in order t
make the grange organization as effect
i've as it should be, its influence a
widespread and its burdens as equal,
distributed as they ought to be, i
should receive the active support o
every farmer who has any interest il
his own or his country's good.

A GOOD appetite is essential to good
health; but at this season it is often lost,
owing to the poverty or impurity of the
blood, arrangement of the digestive organs
and the weakening effect of the changing
season. Hoods Sarsaparilla is a wonderful
medicine for creating an appetite, toning
the digestion and giving strength to the
whole system. Now is the time to take it.

A Famous Doctor

Once said that the secret of good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayers Pills
as an aperient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as so many of his
distinguished successors are doing.
The celebrated DIR. Farnsworth, OF
Norwich, Conn, recommends Ayers
Pills as the best of all remedies for
Intermittent Fevers"
DIR. l. Il. Fowler, OF Bridgeport,
Conn, says: ayers Pills are highly
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. 1 make daily use of them
in my practice"
DIR. Mayhem, of New Bedford, Mass,
says: Having prescribed many thou
sands of Ayers Pills, in my practice, I
can unhesitatingly pronounce them the
best cathartic in use"
The Massachusetts State Assayer, DR..
A. A. Hayes, certiies II have made
careful analysis of Ayers Pills. They
contain the active principles OF we'll
known drugs, isolated from inert mat
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
of great Importance to their useful ness.
1t insures activity, certainty, and uni
formity of effect. Ayers Pills contain
no metallic or mineral substance, but
the virtues of vegetable remedies in
skillful combination

~ remember, though was half daxed
with anguish, that in the room there was
table by which Q man was seated. Be-
fore him was large book in which
he entered our names and ages, and
the names and ages Of our parents;
then we wore supposed to be prepared for
the ceremony. First we were directed to
remove our shoes and leave them in tho
ante.room, and then we were led into
room beyond. This was Q long bathroom,
divided down the middle by o heavy curtain.
Upon one side were bath-tubs for women,
on the other the same for gentlemen. Ed
gar was conducted to the mems side Of the
curtain, and his betrothed and to the
other. Several other persons were wait
ing, but presently VIC were all bathed by
attendants, each portion Of the body being
washed separately from the crown Of the
head to the soles Of the feet, and formula
repeated for each part This consisted in .
kind Of blessing, such, for instance, as that
the eyes might be quick to see the path Of
Righteousness, that the ears might be apt
ct hearing the truth, that the mouth might
life, and the feet be swift to run in the ways
Of the Lord. We were also told that by
this we were cleansed Of sin, and that our
blood henceforth should not be as the filthy
blood Of the world, and that we never
should be partakers Of the plaques and
miseries which ore to come upon the earth
in the last days.
"Then we were wiped dry, and anointed
with olive oil, the oil being poured from
large cows horn into tho hands of the
priest or priestess, and applied to all parts
Of the body, accompanied with blessings
and predictions a. before. We were then
given Q peculiar garment to put on; one dis
tinctly Mormon, and worn only bv those
who have passed through the Endowment
House. It is simply complete suit Of
under-clothes made In q single garment IN
stead Of two a. 10 usual. This we were in
structed TO wear night and day, and in
changing It never to wholly expose the per-
son, but to change one half at q time, and
that II we did 90 we would be protected
from disease, and even death itself; that the
bullet Of an enemy would not penetrate the
garment, and that from it even the dag
gers point would be turned aside.
"When we were thus arrayed, they put
upon us white night-dress, white stock
ings, and white linen shoes, and Q new
name was whispered in our ears. This
name we were told never to divulge to any
ono save our husbands in the Endowment
House. By this name, which we were told
would be our name In Heaven, our husbands
are to call us up In the resurrection. II we
have been unfaithful or disobedient,h he need
not call US II he does not choose, but can let
us sleep on until the second resurrection, Q
