Another Good Alfalfa Crop.

David Call Of Grand Valley has recent
ly sold his crop Of alfalfa seed. From l6
acres no sold Il bushels at 10 cents per
pound. HE sold too early to get the tor
Of the market-l2 esats.) For this seed
he received S4ol.66 and has left a lot oi
tailings which are Of some value. as well
a. big stack Of threshed hay which
makes excellent stock feed. Aside from
his own work and the expenses Of thresh-
ing Mr.. Call has been out about $i2 in
cash. About one-third Of tho acreage
had no irrigation this season. Surely al
falfa is a good crop to stand by.

cane sugar. While scientists and sugar
experts can tell no difference between
good samples Of the two. the public YER
dict in America, for time. was that beet
sugar is inferior for a great many pur-
poses, such as fruit preserving, canning,

known to them as cane sugar.

A BIiI Which Should Be Promptly
Passed,

A Bill WntCn SnOuso DC FTOHpay
Passed,
Senator Gallinger Of New Hampshire
introduced in tho United States Senate
last week bill designed TO place a fur
thsr obstacle in tho way Of the sale OF
liquor at places unlicensed by the local
authorities. The bill Is in line with Fed
eral legislation which has caused the re-
tail liquor trade much uneasinsss re-
Gently.
The measure which Or. Gallinger has
introduced provides that no collector OF
internal revenue shall deliver any special
tax receipt to any Wholesale or retail IL
ouor dealer who at the time Of making
application to pay such tax does not ex-
hibit a license issued in accordance with
the laws Of tho state or territory in which
his trade Is to be carried on, authorizing
him to sell liquors at the place where he
designs to carry on his business.
The eminent justice Of such law should
commend It to every fair-minded man
The government Of the United States
should uphold the laws OF municipalities
which seek to restrict the universally ae-
knowledged evils Of the liquor traffic. As
the laws now are the general government
really encourages this class Of outlawry
Should Senator Gallinger's bill be en-
acted into law It would deprive the gov
ernment Of some revenue. but 1t would
result in uniting the federal and state au-
thorities in an effort to prevent the sale o'
liquor in violation Of local regulation. Thus
it would prove a temperance measure oil
much damage to the retail liquor trade
That trade will undoubtedly oppose the
bill. and may attempt its defeat by the use

The cause for this change is the fact that the annual race meet or the Pequot Jockey club will hold the boards, and the splendid dane ing space will be transformed into a genuine Saratoga race track. There will be judges, timers, clerks of course, bookmakers, jockeys. plungers and all the other accessories to thoroughly modern up to date track, with the ex- ception of the real live horse flesh.
 This very essential feature will be supplied in the shape of long strips of paper and numberless pairs of scissors. The jockeys will be those who manipu- late the scissors and it is certain that much excitement and amusement will be furnished to the entire throng who attend

SPRINGFIELD.
A Back Number. T he MiIk and Egg Diet,

Starving the patient who has sick stomach, is an out of date treatment and no longer necessary with the pre- digested and nourishing food Grape Nuts that the weakest stomach can handle and grow strong upon.
 There is plenty of proof of this: q had suffered from stomach trouble for six years and for most of the last two years had been confined to my bed, the trouble having become chronic in spite of the very best medical attention. I had always been a coffee thinker, but for the past year could not drink it at all because 1t made me 50 nervous I could not sleep and my appetite was almost entirely gone
 Then some friend advised me to try the predigested food Grape-Nuts and about three months ago I did so and since that time my improvement has been so rapid that my customers and friends are astonished, and every day some one remarks upon my changed condition. I have gained 15 pounds, sleep we'll my appetite is good and my digestion is perfect Where have lived on milk and light diet for years I now eat most anything I want and don't suffer any inconvenience, either. The way Grape Nuts food has built up my stomach and strengthened my nervous system particularly is wonder ful.
 T drink your food drink Postum too and no longer feel the want of coffee. There is absolutely no doubt that leav- ing off coffee and using Grape-Nuts and Postum has brought me out of my bed from an invalid back to fine health" :" , Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. ia

Tn the second game the New Haven team fell all over Miller, who started to do the "McGinnity'' trick of pitching two games. Bone hit for two bases. Cornell went out at first. Hall hit a hard single and Bone scored. Fitz- maurice, Hayward Golden and Perkins followed with singles, netting four runs. which, with Bone's tally, placed New Haven's total at five. There it remain ed and Miller was taken out of the box at the end of the inning.
 Hall was the star man of the game. He covered a large amount of territory and fielded his position in superb style. Connell was placed behind the bat to give Jope brief rest, and Canavan went into right field.
 New Haven played. a fine game of baseball and held Springfield down to a cipher until the ninth, when double and a single netted the visitors one run. The summary:
