Wake Up.

If you wake up in the

bad taste in your mouth,
Languor, Dull Headache,
Dependency, Constipa-
ton, take Simmons Liver
Regulator. 1t corrects
the bilious stomach,
sweetens the breath and
cleanses thefurred tongue.
Children as well as adults
sometimes eat something
that does not digest well,
producing Sour Stomach,
Heartburn, Restlessness,
or Sleeplessness-a good
dose of Regulator will
give relief. So perfectly
harmless is this remedy
that it can be taken by
the youngest infant or
the most delicate person
without injury, no matter
what the condition of the
system may be. It can
do no harm if it does no
good, but its reputation
for 40 years proves it
never fails in doing good.

Dairy Farming in Eastern States.

Nothing can show more clearly the
situation of the dairy farms of the east
ern states than the following. Mr..
Dodge, of the United States department
of agriculture, in !. his report for 1886
says: Farm lands in New York have
deprecated SO per cent. in value in ten
years-30 per cent. of the farms in the
state are mortgaged. averaging 66i per
cent. of their estimated valuation" This
was the situation in New You, the
greatest dairy state of the Union. What
is it now? A correspondent of The Iron
Age of April 10. 1899. writes from Sara
toga as follows:
SALES of farming lands under fore
closures are numerous in Central New
York. The number of these sales this
year is unprecedented. Farmers are
leaving their farms, and more are Civ.
ing up the life altogether than are set
Ting on new ones. There is not only no
money any longer in the business-there
does not seem to be even living
Many farmers in this section do not in
tend to plant this year. They run behind
the best way they can manage it. A
farmer with his place free and clear is
more than likely after paying his farm
hands to be in debt after harvest. Many

containing the life of Mr.. Grady. COM

sert that they love the memory of Mr..

because in the volume which was COM

his great Prohibition speeches was given.
They quote the following words, which
we're written by Mr. Grady after the de-
feat Of Prohibition in Fulton county:
When everything else have said or

!. Social Problems.

In The Dawn for May Miss Frances
Willard has an article on Christian So
cialism and Temperance" She speaks
of herself as mot an expert on the sub
ject Of Christian Socialism; but it looks,
she observes, las if Christ's spirit werd
getting into the every day thought Of
our people everywhere through this
new door of Christian Socialism as
through no other More wage workers
call for the New Testament and favor
our Sunday rest now than at any
previous time in the worlds history.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
union takes broad view Of social prob
lens. 1t belongs to the newer school of po-
litical economists represented by Profess
sor Ely of Johns Hopkins university rather
than that of those who care only for the
survival Of the stronger, leaving the I'M
der dog in the fight to such conditions as
would develop all his inherent powers
of becoming the upper one himself"
Speaking later of Christs spirit of serv-
ing others she says: 1.-The brotherhood
of man, the sisterhood of woman, the
holy land of Americ,.-these are all yet
to come through His words that are the
spirit and the life"

the peace May Is. and decision was
rendered. The case was that of the
State vs. Terry Chambers. restaurant
keeper. and was tried on an agreed state
ment of facts. in which the defendant
admitted that he owned and kept the
liquor in controversy for the purpose of
sale by the bottle, glass. or in sucfrquan-
titles as his patrons might desire, but de-
MED that. under the recent decision by
the United States supreme court, he was
thereby violating any law of Iowa. The
court decided that the defendant had no
right to sell except in the original pack
ages in which the liquor was imported;
that the liqnor in controversy was kept
for sale in violation of law, and ordered
it forfeited. The case will be appealed

A Flag of Truce.
as a test.

The hardest blow the temperance ref
ormation has had in this century has
been in the fact that some reformers
have halted under the delusion of the
high license movement. You know what
it is. 1t is the white flag of truce sent
out from alcoholism to Prohibition to
make the battle pause long enough to
get the army of decanters and demijohns
better organized. Away with that flag of
truce. or will fire upon it! Between these
two armies there can be no truce. On
one side is God and sobriety and the best
interests Of the world, and on the other
side is the sworn enemy of all righteous
ness, and eitlser rum must be defeated
or the church of God and civilization.

The total assessed valuation of all the
railroads in Nebraska in 1888 was $685.
574,43l. The annual liquor bill Of the
state is conservatively estimated to be
not less than $24,000,0OO. When it is
considered that this vast volume OF
wasted wealth is diverted from the legiti-
mate channels of trade and its loss en-
tailed upon the taxpayers. the business
depression ceases to be riddle. The
saloon is sapping the cash trade of our
merchants ant paralyzing the producing
powers of the laboring classes. The
liquor traffic produces not dollar OF
wealth. but continually brushes the am
hilton. hope and life out of its millions
of voluntary and Involuntary slaves.
