About one month ago my child, which
is fifteen months old, had an attack OF
diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. |
gave it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief. we sent for physician and it was
under his care for a week. AT this time
the child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty-five
operations of the bowels every twelve
hours, and we were convinced that unless
it soon obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy was recommended, and
decided to try it. ! soon noticed a
change for the better; by its continued
use complete cure was brought about
and it is perfectly healthy.-C L. Boggs.

Britain. the sun that gives light to all
nations of the earth. The Frenchman
was rather taken back at this. but he
proposed: Here's to France. the moon

world. Franklin then arose, with an
air of quaint modesty. and said: Here S

CROP Talk.

The doleful news of the ruin of the
peach crop comes with annual and de-
pressing regularity. Sometimes the
ruin does not turn out to be so disas-
trous as the peach growers say it will
be. But as the outlook is now we shall
be lucky if peaches are five cents a
quart next summer. The Michigan
peach crop is ruined, the New Jersey
crop ditto, also the Delaware crop, and
moreover and likewise the Georgia crop.
1t has been so cold that it is easy to
believe that the somewhat delicate
peach trees have had hard time of it.
What a pity, and yet it is better we
suppose, to have the death dealing mi
crobes frozen than to have peaches
plenty and cheap.
They say the winter wheat crop has
also been badly damaged. 1t seems to
be generally acknowledged that the ice
crop is fair, but there is no telling
how soon we shall read that some bug
is eating the ice.

GOOD ROADE.

The Hartford Times points out that
the most important thing in the report
of the legislative committee on good
roads is not the advocacy of an expen-
diture of $250,0oO year by the State on
this account, nor any of the discussion
OF ways and means, nor any other item
which relates to building. 1t is the
passage which calls attention to the
need of maintaining good roads when
they have been built, says that some
towns have neglected them absolutely.
and demands reform in this respect, to
be enforced by the State if the towns
continue to neglect what is both their
duty and their interest.
True enough Good roads will not
stay good without timely, skillful and
non-political care. Legislation that will
provide for such care is proposed. 1t
should be adopted and enforced. Good
roads are worth keeping good, and it is
much cheaper to keep them good than
to make new ones.

To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
| Your editorial in Thursdays Journal
and Courier entitled mot Cheerful
might be read with profit by thousands
1t provides food for reflection in many
ways that are not open to the superb
cial observer. l for one will forgive YOU
for drawing attention to an unpalatabIe
truth at a time when the fact is ap-
parently remote, and surely we have all
advanced beyond the native who, when
questioned by the missionary seeking
shelter in his hut, as to why he did not
repair the roof, replied, Him rain SO
hard" But why do you not repair it
when 1t does not rain?" ''Then him
don't want repairing"
Yet we are met with Just such re-
plies when questions of the utmost i'm
portance are propounded. We are told
now that it will disturb matters, so it
is unwise to mention these things, and
when the panic comes, we are told that
the people are so excited that they can
not reason correctly, so 1t is no use then
to say anything. In this way the peo-
pie are blamed for 1t all, and go blind
ly plunging along till they hit another
snag.
After witnessing this phenomenon re-
peatedly under various conditions, and
doing large amount of thinking In
connection with it, we reach several
conclusions, some of which you mention
in your article, notably the parallel you
draw between the physical body under
mined by dissipation, and the body po-
little, which suffers the same way.
So far as the statement of facts is
concerned, all are agreed. Dissipation
in the individual is easily determined,
but when we come to the body polite
the effects are there, but who will point
out the cause? We are treated to end
less sermons, lectures and dialogues on
how these things are, all of which we
are fully aware Of, but as to why they
are so, our worthy teachers are for the
