That many farmers are being duped by beet-sugar manufactures" said President Almendinger, lis no longer to be disputed. Is it policy to allow men to be lured into an industry which is to be direct competitor with our men, when a fair statement of the facts would dissuade many from engaging in 1t? A promoter of one of these schemes admitted in my presence that the beet sugar industry might presently collapse, but in the meantime he and his friends would have got out of it in good finan- cial condition"
 Mr. Almendinger cited the recent &C., tion of the beet growers of Bay and Shiawassee Counties to show that beets were last year raised at a loss, and con- cluded by saying that if the industry cannot stand alone it might be duty of members of the Millers' Association to use their influence in their respective communities to secure an early repeal of the bounty law, and also to set be- fore the farmers who have not gone in- to the business of raising beets the ex- act conditions that surround their pro- duction--Detroit Tribune.

A comparison of the number of inter- nal revenue licenses to retail liquor- dealers issued in Indiana with the num- Der of those having State licenses shows that the State is collecting Its $10O fee from only about one-half of the dealers. Revenue from this source in Indiana goes to the support of the schools, and if the State could collect all that is due something over $300,OO0 would be added to the school fund. There is conse- quent agitation for a more vigorous en- forcement of the State law. Prominent in this agitation, but not from the mo- tive of advancing the cause of educa- ton, is the newspaper organ of the State Liquor League, which Is moved by the interests of it's clients, the 'regu- lar" liquor- dealers, who do not dodge the State license The great majority of the violators of the State license law is thought to consist of grocers, drug gists and women.

In like manner Hoods Sarsaparilla ex

there has been but little perspiration and
perhaps constant confinement in impure
and vtiated air. 1t is a boon to tried
mothers, housekeepers, teachers and all
who spend their time indoors.
1t gives the blood richness and vitality
fitting it to nourish and strengthen the
nerves, muscles and all the great organs
of the body. 1t cures all spring humors
and vanishes that tired feeling.
1t is the best medicine money can buy
