We would like to ask, through the
columns of your paper, if there is any
person who has used Green's August
Flower for the cure of Indigestion, Dys-
pepsia. and Liver Troubles that has not
been cured-and we also mean their
results, such as sour stomach, fermen-
tation of food, habtual costiveness,
nervous dyspepsia, headaches, despon-

trouble connected with the stomach or
liver? This medicine has been sold for
many years in all civilized countries, and
we wish to correspond with you and
send you one of our books free of cost.
If you never tried August Flower, try a
25 cent bottle first. We have never
known of its failing. If so, something
more serious is the matter with you.

THE GRANGE RITUAL.
It's Beautiful Teaching Unappreci-
nted by Most Patrons.


The American Grange Bulletin
touches upon very important matter
in the following article. 1t says: AS
members of the grange we frequent
ly boast of the teachings of our ritual
What is the best thing in it? Don't
answer without thinking. Perhaps you
hadn't thought. Possibly you know
very little about the ritual-and you
And if you with your opportunities
and responsibilities. must hesitate and
confess to yourself that you know very
little about tie matter, how do you
suppose your new members would be
able to answer the question?
Here is a suggestion, not for this
week or next. but for a suitable time
this month or next. or some other
month. Plan ritual programme. Ask
a dozen members to select the best
sentence from the ritual and be pre-
pared to repeat it and give reasons for
thinking it the best. Ask three others
to read the ritual for the purpose of be-
ing able to judge which of the dozen
answers is best. The decision may be
based on the selection alone, on the
selection and the explanation, or on the
explanation alone.
The important thing is to get your
members interested in searching for
the choice things in the grange ritual
Mere memorizlng without regard to
thought will amount to little, but the
good things are worth committing, even
if the lessons they should teach are
not appreciated at the time. The get
ting by heart with the idea of unde
standing the meaning as well as tn
order of the words will do good, be-
sides, being an interesting exercise and
a valuable discipline.

Farmers should Join the Grange.
While the grange is making rapid
strides in membership this year, there
are still great many farmers who
are not members of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry. More than
100000 people of the United States
are engaged in agriculture. The moral,
social, educational and financial status
Of so large a number of our people Is
a matter Of interest to every good citi-
zen. The primary purpose Of the.
grange is to educate and elevate the
American farmer. Every patriotic
farmer should join the grange and help
the good work along, and every other
good citizen, as opportunity may offer,
should speak a word of encouragement.

Question Answered.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or bill
liousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard OF Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution or Heart failure,
etc They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation Of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action Of the
system, and that is all they too when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there iss nothing serious the matter
with you. You can get this reliable
remedy at all drug stores. Price 25c.
