GIRLHOOD'S PERILS.

Sweet sixteen " is an age of
which poets have sung raptu-
Tously. Mothers know that girl
hood is not all romance and
roses. The growing girl needs
plenty of strength to mt her for
the duties of maturity. There
is but one real source of strength,
and that is digested food. But
so many lassies in the early teens
will not eat what is good for
them; they have no appetite,
they say, and even when they do
force food down their throats,
it disagrees with them. Hence
they are gaunt, white faced and
Darrow-shouldered. Kind friends
of the family remark that the
darling of the household is GO
ing into a decline, or that she
looks as if galloping consump-
ton might get hold Of her some
day. Let no mother be scared.
Thousands of just such slender,
debilitated, fragile girls have
grown into rosy, handsome, ro-
bust women because they built
and toned themselves up with
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
which is palatable as honey and
contains the nutritive and GU
rative properties Of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry. 1t does all
that plain cod liver oil does in
making flesh and blood and does
it better. DR.. P. A. David, Pro-
lessor of Chemistry, Bishops
College, Montreal, says: al have
used your preparation of cod
liver oil both in my hospital
and private practice, with results
uniformly satisfactory, and con-
slider it one Of the best recon
structive tonics before the pro-
fession to-day; its palatability is
also a most important and at
tractive feature" AS sure of VIC
tory as water is sure to quench
thirst. Try it and see how much
sweeter life is without weak
ness, pain or worry. at cannot

95-lOO of a cent per pound on refined
sugar, save the spirit of that Tariff,
and, as a consequence, the deliberate
purpose of protecting certain sec
ton, assuring to one of its products
Tariff advantages tending to foster its
development, with the result that the
production of the United States last
year amounted to about 1926 tons of
sugar of which 1925 were beet-sugar.
And if in order to foster an in6nStrv
which in the beginning only represent
ed p. C. of the consumption of the
country; there was no hesitation In
taxing an article of prime necessity,
such as sugar. to the amount of $780,
100000 per annum, our claim for pro-
lection in a reasonable proportion to
our Coffee is more than worthy of fav-
orable consideration, if we remember
that. under normal conditions, the pro-
duction- of Porto Rican coffee Would
bear about the same ratio to the total
national consumption of coffee, as the
production of the Louisiana sugar bore
then to the total national consumption
of sugar.
RICE.
This product suggests the same or
similar arguments as those advanced
on sugar.
notwithstanding the smallness of its
production, (for it must be remembered
that the United States depends on for
eign markets to supply its consump-
ton of rice), it is nevertheless a
fact, that the Dingley Tariff favors
this staple in a most generous man
ner, if we consider that the duty of
2 cents per pound is more than the
price at which a certain grade of East
India rice can be obtained SURPRISING
in quality the average Louisiana rice
imported here.
BY the application of the Dingley
Tariff to our island and the consequent
demand of American rice for this mar
ket, the results of Protection have
been brought home to us In a most
tangible manner.
The production of rice in Louisiana
and other States which was only 49,
000 900 lbs. in 1899, reached last year
2S4, OOO, 900. or an increase of more than
100 D. C. in such short period of time.

Sono Of the Mystic.

II walk down the Valley of Silence
Down the dim, voiceless yalley-alone.
And hear not the fall of a footstep
Around me. save Gods and my own;
And the hush of my heart is as holy
As hoyers where angles have flown!
~sLong ago, was weary of voices
Whose music my heart could not win;
Long ago, 1 was weary of noises
That fretted my soul with their din:
Long ago, 1 was weary of places
Where met but the Humankind SIM
I'm the hush of the Valley OF Silence
I dream all the songs that 1 sing
And the music floats down the dim valley
Till each finds a word for a wing
That to hearts like the Dove of the Deluge'
A message of peace they may bring
<'Do you ask me the place of the valley:
Ye hearts that are narrowed by care.
1t lieth afar between mountains,
And God and his angels are there'
And one is-the dark Mount of sorrow
And one the bright Mountain OF Prayer!

HISTORIC MILLS ARE GONE.
Flames Wipe Out Old Industry Of
OGDEN, Utah,

O90en, Otah.
Tha>Ogden wooden mills, the second
oldest industry of the kind, have been
burned.
The mills were built at time when
the nails cost 500 per key and other
material in proportion. The machinery
for establishing them was brought
from the Missouri river, nearly forty
years ago by OK teams. Lorin Farr,
for twenty years Ogden's mayor, was
the originator of the enterprise. For a
number of years the enterprise
thrived, and in 1884 Enoch Farr, who
for several years was manager of the
mills, went to Boston and purchased
an entirely new set of machinery The
mills were closed for severaI years
soon after this, but about ten years
ago were acquired by Mr.. Plat who
again started them on a successful
eras Recently they were made the
basis of a stock company The con-
Germ has paid heavy dividends and
had on foot plan to convert some of
its surplus water power into elecrrAs
power to be marketed.-SaIt Lsk
