SUICIDE PREVENTED.

The startling announcement that a preventive of suicide has been discov- cred will interest many. A run down system, or despondency invariably pre- cede suicide and something has been found that will prevent that condition which makes suicide likely. At the first thought of self destruction take Electric Bitters. It being a great tonic and nervine will strengthen the nerves and build up the system. It's also a great stomach, liver and kidney regulator. Only soc. Satisfaction guaranteed by R: H.. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; Betts $ Betts, Sandy Hook; W. N. Noble, New Mil ford; W. B.

MONEY IN RAISING MULES.
 c. H. Hawes has the largest finest Spanish Jack this side of the Missouri river. He has raised the finest mules ever seen in this country, and sold two pair of mule colts, two and three years old, respectively, unbroken, for S7OO, and says a mule colt can be rais- ed as cheap as a calf and brings four times the price at three years old. He has recently added six more brood mares to his flock, which comprises at present 7l2, and will in the future make mule raising his leading business on his large farm. We would think more would initiate his example, as the profit and demand is greater than of any other kind of farming.

The l trouble is that it leads to more drink ing and intemperance. Fifty years ago, in France, the people drank free ly of light wines, using little strong drink. But the French people have learned sad lesson. The wines ere. ated thirst for intoxicants, and now strong drink has firm hold on that people. Light wines are no longer satisfactory; distilled liquor and drunkennesS'aret the common thing. It is a sad commentary on moderate drinking; but very suggestive From the Herald and Presbyter.

SAN FRANCISCO. As Seen Through the Eyes of an Esteemed NewtOwn
 Gentleman,
 E. l.. JOHNSON.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, JULY 8. 1904. Unfortunately, we arrived in San Francisco on Friday. No supersti- tion about the day being an unlucky une but some places are not open on Saturday and Sunday we would not devote to indiscriminate sight seeing We were obliged to spend some time in getting located even for the three days stay and it takes an entire stranger some time to get the bear ingS in so large city. History tells us that Rome was built on seven hills, but San Francisco has without doubt, more than 70 times seven hills. In that respect do not believe there is a city in the United States to be com pared with 1t and for steepness of shiver to see the depths to which one must go and one must invOluntarily, it seems to me, breathe prayer that the grip need not lose it's hold upon the cable, for most of the steep streets are traversed by cable lines, electric streets. It is comparatively easy to get about when one has once got the | plan into one's head and though we thought Los Angeles gave long ride for nickel San Francisco carries one a good deal farther for the nickel. We had a good chance to learn that in our afternoon trip to the Cliff House, which is delightful long ride by trol- ley. As it's name indicates it is built upon cliffs that project into the ocean and is spot which all tourists are ex- pected to visit. .Very near are the Seal rocks and from the windows of Cliff House can be had good view of them. These rocks, three in number, rise out of the water from 20 to 50 feet and
