CITY AND COUNTRY.

We frequently hear about the "slav-
cry of farm life" True, farming If
properly attended TO often means hard
work. and on some days long hours;
but If rightly and successfully man
aged il cannot be otherwise than a
labor of love, requiring the use Of
brains, OF thought and study. The
right kind OF farmer masters the soil
with his head more than with his
hands. The city merchant, the store
clerk, the city laborer generally-and
this includes physicians, teachers, pro-
fessionals. and often millionaires-all
have far greater reason to talk about
the slavery OF city life" than the mod
ern farmer, who has no boss, is not
kept imprisoned for ten or twelve
hours day in a dingy room, and
whose whole life is the most satisfac-
tory combination Of congenial work,
both Of brain and hand, with perfec-
ton independence, and the purest Of
LIES pleasures and blessings, has no
reason 20 talk about the slavery OF
farm life Let us appreciate our adj
vantages and make the most OF our
opportunities. rather than indulge in
such siurs on our occupation as that
which is expressed in the absurd
phrase slavery Of farm life"

Not long since it was my good for
tune to visit a farmer in an adjoining
county. He kept a great many horses
and had nothing but barbed wire
fences. In order that his horses should
know where wire fences were he had
a number OF long laths wired to the
top wire of the fence, which had been
whitewashed. Horses could see these
readily and would not run into the
fences.

r. Merriam, formerly governor, of
Minnesota, later director Of the United
States census, and now Of New York,
was one Of the principal speakers at
the annual dinner of the chamber of
commerce, held in Colonial hall last
night. Among the 275 guests present
were Charles B. Flint and John R<is-
bane Walker of New York and O. p.

Former Governor Merriam re-
sponded to the toast, '"The Man Of the
Century," and said, in part:
The race problem, the emigration prob
lem, the labor problem, the trust problem,
and what is Familiarity known as the
graft problem are all before us for solu-
ton.
The rapid accumulation Of wealth has
brought into being a vast number Of large
corporations commonly known as trusts.
Four hundred and fortytwo industrial
combinations, representing the activities
of commerce, have been organized within
the last few ~years-the bulk Of them
since 190O-involving a capitalization of
eight and half billions Of dollars, more
than eight times the national debt.
I am not unmindful Of the necessity
of corporations. with our modern methods
of commerce, but desire distinctly to dis
avow any disposition to underestimate the
possible evils which may overshadow the
state from the greed Of ownership or the
dangers that may threaten the public by
reason Of the unlimited power that follows
the massing Of capital, as we'll as the dis
aster which inevitably comes to the citi-
zen in the attempt either to stifie compe-
tition or to destroy an unfortunate rival.
Views On Trusts.
It is maintained by those Immediately
concerned in the formation of enormous
corporations that they are simply the ma
tural evolution Of the ordinary CONNER
cial life of the nation; that they arise
from perfectly natural causes, and are the
logical outcome Of machine production
improved transportation facilities, plentiful
capital, and increased competition.
Those who oppose the formation Of in
dustrial combinations maintain that the
captains of industry who, with their
mighty power Of concentrating wealth, are
constantly extending the fields Of their
operations, are menace to society, not
only in an industrial way, but also from a
! social standpoint.

had no law but his own will who did not

own profit.

A Drop of Blood

Taken from a person who has for
a few months used Vernal Palmet-
tona (formerly known as Vernal Saw
Palmetto Berry Wine) is pure ana
free from faint. es
We say a few months, because 1t
takes time to overcome the effect of
years of careless living in the matter
of diet, sleep and dissipation. This
great one dose a day remedy gives
quick relief from indigestion, consti-
patton, dyspepsia, headache and all
kinds Of kidney, liver and stomach
trouble, but as the impurities entered
the system slowly, so they must be
gotten rid Of. |
Poisons and disease germs creep
into the blood through the retention Of
impure waste matter in the stomach
and bowels and through inactive kids
neys and lazy liver. Vernal Palmets
tona gives gentle aid to the weak
ened digestive organs. Gradually they
gain strength and are finally able to
perform their natural functions With
out any help. When this stage is
what you eat and drink and you will
have no more trouble. Yoi'll be able
to Go twice as much work as be-
fore, whether it is done with your
hands or brain. 81
Perhaps you have read this kind
OF talk before and have found the
remedy talked about to be fiat faiI-
ure in your case. If so, you are
prejudiced. Knowing that such a
prejudice often exists, we give every
one q chance to try Vernal Palmet-
tona before they buy. It is on sale at
all leading drug stores, but you can
try it free of expense. Write US for
a free sample bottle to-day. It will
be promptly sent postpaid. IF it does
you good, it is easy to step into a
drug store and get a full size bottle.
The druggist will not try to sell You
something else. If he does he is an
exception, for druggists know that

edy of it's kind in. existence. Vernai
