Wealth From the Farms

Secretary Wilson, OF the department,
OF agriculture, estimates that the in
crease IN the value of farm products this
year over last will amount to half 9
billion dollars. Our readers will recall
no doubt, that the cry Of the Bryan re-
pudiators in the campaign OF 1896 wat
that prices Of farm products must con.
tinue to 60 down because "gold was ap
preciating." The answer Of the Re-
publican party to this nonsense was that
the price of every commodity would fall
il there was diminishing demand FOL
it or an excess Of supply Of it; that the
way to restore prices was to restore the
American demand for all articles, and
that the only way to do this was to in.
crease the purchasing power OF Ameri,
can consumers by putting them all to
work again, as in 1892.
How reasonable was Mr.. BryaD's con.
tention and how sound the Republicans
argument every one may now judge
from the facts. Mr.. Bryan's silver
which alone could save the country by
being coined free at 16 to l, has con-
tinued to 90 down in price, while every
thing else (save gold) has gone up. 1t
10 true that to the foreign demand for
wheat is due part Of its extraordinary
rise, but there has been a rise in every
thing. 1t ls caused by the American de-
mand produced by the partial restora-
ton Of the American purchas sing power.
The Dingley law will continue to fortify
that purchasing power by providing
more work with increased wage pay
ments to our people. Their efore We
shall have "rising market" until We
have returned to normal conditions.
Then we shall have a fair price for
everything and fair opportunity to
every one to buy what he needs at that
price. That 10 what constitutes Ameri-
can prosperty-productive farms, busy
mills, good prices and high wages.
When your stomach begins to trouble
you, 1T needs help. The help it needs,
Is to digest your food, and, until it gets
it, you won't haye any peace. Stomach
trouble is very distressing, very obsti-
nate, very dangerous. Many OF the
most dangerous diseases begin with SIM
pie Indigestion. The reason is that in
digestion (not- digestion, not-nourlsh-
ment) weakens the system and allows
disease germs to attack it. The anti
dote is Shaker Digestive Cordial,
Strengthening, nourising, curative. 1t
cures indigestion and renews strength
and health. 1t does this by strengthen
ing the stomach, by helping it to digest
YOUR food. 1t nourishes your. Shaker
Digestive Cordial is made ofpure berbs,
plants and WINE, is perfectly harmless
and will certainly cure all genuine
stomach trouble. Sold by druggists,
prlce 10 cents to sl.0O per bottle.

BAR CONSERVATIVES.
Not to BE Permitted to Lsnd-A Sanitary
Restrictive Measure.

Local physicians are discussing the
point of an immigration bill pending
before the New Zealand parliament
with view To calling the attention of
congress TO similar protective meas
ure. The bill in question is to prevent
consumptives from entering the coun-
try. To effect that object the captain
of any ship who lands passenger suf-
fering from lung disease is liable to a
penalty of $3.50 for every offense, and if
during the voyage he is proved to have
allowed such sufferer to share cabin
with another passenger, an additional
fine is thereby incurred. Further
more, there is Il provision which holds
captain personally responsible and
liable TO fine if, three months after
landing his passengers, any one of
them should develop lung disease.
Fancy captain of nervous tempera-
ment laboring under this law, suggests
the st. James Budget. "Given that he
has started with list of passengers
free from all palpable lung disease, still
his life would not be worth living.
Every cough, every splutter from a
crumb in the throat as his passengers
sat at meals, would would serve to
dangle the fine demon before his eyes.
One can imagine captain getting in to
such state Of mind as TO secretly slip
overheard any passenger developing a
genuine cough. Men have done worse
for less than $3.50. One can follow him
on shore. Having landed his passen-
gers, he is still within the clutches of
the state. Weeks afterward he may be
dining on shore. He hears a cough at
table. a cold sweat comes in beads on
his forehead as he recognizes a passen-
ger. Another $3.50 he murmurs, as
he is carried out in dead faint"

wheat Bread in England.

1t is only within recent years that
wheaton bread has become a staple ar.
ticle of food among the laboring classes
Of England-in fact. some parts of the
country still maintain the use of oats
and barley in various forms i'm prefer
ence TO wheat. In 1917 there was a
great wheat harvest in England and the
price suddenly dropped from so shil-
lings to shillings : pence a quarter

years ago, may be quoted: 80 small

THIRTEEN MONTHS IN A YEAR.
A Proposition to start In 1900 withs "A
New Division OF Time.

1t is suggested that on January l.,
1900, a new division of the year into 13
months be instituted. 1t is claimed
says the Scientific American, that this
is not so preposterous as most people
would be likely TO consider il at the
first thought. If such a division were
made the first - months would have
just % days, or four weeks each, and the
new month 20 TO make 365, and 80 in
leap year. After few days there would
be no need to refer To calendars, as the
same day of the week would have the
same date through the year If Jan
uary were, say Monday, every Monday
would be the 1st, stL. 18th and 22d:
every Tuesday the 2d. 9th. 10th and 23d,
and so on throughout the year. The
changes of the moon would be on about
the same dates through the year, and
many calculations, like interest, dates
OF maturing notes, Easter Sunday and
many other important dates would be
simplited. Although the present gen
Grafton would have to figure new dates
for birthdays and all legal holidays eX-
cept New Year would be on different
dates, yet the gain would be more than
the loss, as that would be permanent,
and the objections trifing.
The proposed change certainly has
the merit of novelty, and it is just 10 say
that the arguments in favor of the
metric system on the ground Of utility
apply with considerable force in the
present case. We fear, however, that
the objections on the grounds Of senti-
nent, which are strong in the matter
OF weights and measures, would be
even stronger against the proposed re-
vision of our methods of computing
time.

IDENTIFIED BY THE DOG TAG
How u Small Boy Was Restored to HIS
Grieving Parents.

At the city hall license department
whenever anyone gets a dog license
the purchaser gives his or her residence
number to the clerk, and also descrip-
ton of the dog. This number and the
appearance of the dog are written down
of record and are easily referred TO.
A few days ago, says the Chicago
Chronicle, the ticket seller at the Six
ty-third street station of the elevated
road noticed very small boy standing
on the platform accompanied by 4
brown setter. The boy was so small
that he could not tell where he lived.
and was evidently lost. The dog licked
his hand afrectionately, painted in a be-
nevolent way and stuck close 10 the
boy. That dog knew that the boy was
lost all right
Some one read the number Of tho
dogs license and went % nciglborinr
drug store and telophoncd to the city
hall. Could the city hall give any de-
scription Of owner or house do@numhcr
or dog license No. 9CG7? Certainly
The owner lived at certain hotel in
town. BY the way, was the dog brown
setter? Wen, they will find the owner
al the Auditorium.
So the small boy was sent home %
his rejoicing parents and the faithful
"dorg" trailcd closely behind. Every
thing was lovely and all on account Of
the beauties of the municipal license
system.
