 The striking and important events of the last year have established the overwhelming value of the THRICE-A- WEEK WORLD to every reader. For an almost nominal sum 1t has kept it's subscribers informed of the pro gress of all our wars and, moreover, has reported them as promptly and fully as if it were a daily. With onr interests still extending throughout the world, with our troops operating in the Philippines, and the great pres ident'al campaign, too, at hand, its value is further increased.
 The motto of the THRICEA-WEEK WORLD is improvement. It strives each year to be better than it was the year before, and public confidence in it is shown by the fact that 1t now circulates more than twice as many papers every week as any other news paper, not daily, published in America.
 To all new subscribers we offer this unequaled newspaper and THE ARI. IONA SENTINEL together one year fol $2.65.

Everyone knows that tin plate has
advanced considerably in price with
in the present year. The Democratic
theorists claim that the advance In
the United States is due incidentally
to the tin plate trust and primarily
to the tariff, 1t being their theory
that protective tariff is a promoter
of trusts. Now let rs look at the
prices which the Welsh tin plate
manufacturers receive. They now
obtain $1.45 a box more than they
did in January last. This is a greater
advance than has been made In the
United States. We respectfully ask
our Democratic friends to explain
this. If the protective tariff and
the trust caused the advance in the
prices Of tin plate in the United
States, what caused a greater adj
vance in price in Wales, where there
is no tariff at all? We pause for re-
ply.-Blade.

They are sanguine of our commercial

Even Potatoes.

Even Potatoes.
A Lansing telegram brings US the
news that the State Board Of Agri-
culture has returned safely from an
exhaustive exploration trip In the
Upper Peninsula, to report that
there are SO many acceptable places
for the location of the new expert
ment station there that the Board is
at loss to know which to decide on.
More than this, the board actually
found that fruit aud roots would
grow in the Upper Peninsula; that
STRAWBERRIES attain the highest ex.
fcellence there; that potatoes can be
raised and that cherries can be
grown in some of the counties with
the aid OF tree.
Prof. @. D. Smith makes these
startling announcements, but while
they will come to many people as a
bolt OF lightning from the blue, IL
remains a fact that the worst has
been expected before now. In fact,
IL memory serves, potatoes were a pay
ing crop in the Upper Peninsula in
the early '60s--3O odd years before
the State Board of Agriculture made
the Investigations which we have
summarized from an interview with
Prof. Smith. 1t was equally as early
too, that strawberries were grown
there, that asparagus was cultivated
and that there was scent of onions
in the air. The vicinity of Ontona-
gon was cultivated In fine farms fully
30, IL not IS, years before the visit o
Prof. Smith and his wonder struck
colleagues.
So that while the board Is doubt
less sincere in Its confession of igno
rance of the agricultural possibilities
Of the Upper Peninsula, it is a fact
that many OF US had a suspicion OF
the facts they just now bring forth.
Some years ago, by the way, the Up
per Peninsula made display at the
state fair. II we are not In error

carried of some prizes, fact the

Such cases as family physicians fail

and poisons. DR.. Mcdonald uses on
ly the purest medicines from the veg
etable kingdom. He pays attention
to the cause Of the disease and in
structs his patients the way to health
and happiness. DR.. Mcdonald can
show hundreds of testimonials in the
handwriting Of grateful patients who
have been cured by him when Others
failed. He is so familiar with the
human system that he is able to read
all diseases of the mind or body cor

questions. Thousands of invalids are
being treated daily for diseases that
they do not have, while few drops
of medicine directed to the seat of the
disease would give speedy relief, and
permanent cure in very short time.
Good health is the most precious jew
ell in our crown of happiness. With it

CHRISTMAS DAY.
How the Date Dec. rs Came to Be Es-
tabIished.

How the Date Dec. rs Came to Be Es-
tab1ished.
There is some disagreement as to the
origin Of Christmas day. The legend runs
that in the earliest period of the Chris
tian church some communities of Chris
tians celebrated the festival of Christmas
on Jan. l, others observing it on the 9th
Of that month. In some Of the eastern
churches it was kept about the time of
the Jewish Passover, near the end of
March. There is also some evidence Of
it's having been observed on Sept. 20, be-
ing the Feast of Tabernacles. In the
year A. d. 325, when the Emperor Con-
stantine legally established Christianity
in the Roman empire, Christmas was OBJ
served at the beginning of the new year,
while in the eastern church it was cele-
brated on Jan. 6. Pope julius eventually
effected a compromise, and the 25th day
Of December was established. These his
torical statements have been called in
question by some, but John Chrysostom,
the eloquent preacher at ConStantinople.
in the fourth century confirms them.
1t is q curious circumstance that some
difficulty has been found in accepting the
date of Dec. 25 as the probable day on
which Christ was born, because, the close
of December being usually the height Of
the rainy season in Judaea, it is said that
neither focks nor shepherds could have
been at night in the fields Of Bethlehem.
This strange objection is considered of
such Importance that it is Incorporated in
almost every encyclopedia and dictionary
which treats of Christmas. 1t is one of
the curiosities of literature. The present
writer has been in those parts at this
season of the gear and has found no diff
fculty in keeping watch by night" in the
open fields of Palestine. What is posi-
BILE for western traveller, unused to liv-
ing in the open air, in the nineteenth cen
fury. must have been far easier for a
band of eastern shepherds at the begin
ming of the Christian era.
