We know man who is always COM
planning about his pasture, about its
unproductiyeness and the weeds which
fill 1t full every August. There is moth
ing the matter with this pasture save
that it is always overstocked, and the
grass has no chance to grow either
above or under ground. And there are
just lots of pastures in this fix.

The practice of washing wool is be-
ing abandoned by sheepmen. The diff

the time and expense. The centrifugal

STRUCK 1T RICH
when They Needed 1t Bad.

When a two-months-old baby re-
fuses to nurse and cannot digest any
of the baby foods or cows milk pre-
pared in different ways, we must do
something or lose the BABY. That was
the condition of our little one about
year and half ago.
1--WE tried every baby food on the
market, besides the cows milk, but
nothing seemed to agree with him. He
suffered from indigestion, until by the
time he was nine months old he had
grown so weak and emaciated that we
didn't think he could live. At last his
stomach refused to take anything, and
for three days the little fellow was ac-
tually starving for something he could
digest.
Il happened to have box of Grape
Nuts in the house, and getting a tea
spoonful, poured little hot water over
1t, letting the food stand a few min
utes, then gave the baby the brown
water which had the strength of the
GrapeNuts in it. He could take but
two spoonsful at time and then rest

During all this time his food has

one thought he could possibly live. We
give all the praise to this most val

Eugene V. Debs, candidate for Pres
ident on the Socialist Democratic tick
ct, addressed a mass meeting composed
chiefly of laboring men in the auditor
The meeting was worked UP by the
Wheeling branch of the Socialist DEM
ocrats evidently to good advantage, for
when he began his address the house,
both on the floor and in the gallery,
was crowded to the doors.
Enthusiasm was not lacking. Mr..
Debs held his audience during the two
hours and fifteen minutes he spoke,
almost breathless. At every point in
his discourse where the speaker wished,
he almost brought his auditors 10 their
feet. There was not the least sign of
disorder, so that not one word of the
speaker was lost on anyone in the
audience.
His speech portrayed the ideas of the
Socialists in tneic most alluring shape.
1t is a very pretty theory. A theory
such as might please the mind for the
moment, a passing fancy, which, If put
into practice would revolutionize every
custom and natural law which has been
in the process OF formation since the
world began. While some Of his ideas
are desirable, Mr.. Debs' own candidacy
is hopeless 10 bring it about. What
ever relief may come to or be possible
for the wage Garner or the farmer must
be sought from and brought about
through the Democratic party-the
party of the people. The time has not
yet come when Mr.. Debs' can
hope to control governmental af-
fairs, and whatever relief he hopes to
accomplish is only possible through the
election OF Mr.. Bryan and the restora-
ton of the government to the control
OF the people.
In the beginning of his address Mr..
Debs said: Economic freedom is the
supreme question of this age. | would
have it understood by the middle
classes, as it is understood by the high
er or richer classes. No power On earth
can arrest this Capitalization. 1t is the
natural result of affairs. Those who
wish it destroyed are those whose in
terests are hurt ny it. Both the DEM
ocratic and Republican parties are con-
trolled by some individual interest or
number of interests. The Republican
platform admits there are trusts which
ought to be regulated by legislation.
They have been in power for the past
four years and yet the Republican
party has done nothing in this direc-
ton
Mr.. Debs then took up the evolution
of the trust. 1t was interesting, even
If it contained nothing new. In effect,
he said:
THE trust is result of evolution,
of impeEceptible aggregation. Take
the working man who has, say, five
hundred dollars. He embarks in bust
ness in a small way, attends to it,
works for success. and earns the small
profits he obtains because he has work
ed hard for them. Along comes the
machine. 1t is too costly for the small
business man, and he combines with
another and the result is firm. To
that extent the identity of the business
man Is lost, but the harm is not yet
great Then other improvements, So
called, come, and the firm is too small,
and several firms combine together,
and we have corporation. Yet the
result is not wholly bad, for the orig
inal members are managers, superin-
