A Parcel Post.

That the agricultural press of this
country has not let up on the pressure
for a parcels post law will be seen on
the following editorial from Mirror
and Farmer of New Hampshire
There is no legislation of a national
character which the people are clam
oring for that would result in benefit
to so many people as the establish
ment of a parcel post, and there is no
proposed legislation that will be more
stoutly resisted by interested parties
than this. So long as small parcels
can be sent only by express, except
at prohibitive prices, so long will the
combined power of these great ex-
press companies be exerted against
any legislation that will curtail their
business or reduce their profit.
1t is not, however, because any
or corporation is enjoying a
profitable business under the present
condition of affairs that the people
ask for this legislation, but because
these companies are doing a profta.

pie. The parcel post has been estab-
lished in about every civilized coun-
try i'll the world, except the United
States, and the people here will not
much longer submit to this distinction
in carrying facilities.
1t has been suggested by the post
master-general, who favors the estab-
lishment of parcel post, that an ex-
perimental trial be made through an
appropriation for this purpose. 1t
will be remembered that this was the
way in which rural mail delivery was
established in the United States, and
it seems to be a reasonable method of
determining the practicability of
parcel post system. There is little
doubt but the results would be as sat
isfactory in such trial as they were
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-07-18

in the rural mail delivery experiment.
The rural people have more to gain
through parcel post system than any
other people, because comparatively
few of them are reached by the pres
ent express service, irrespective of
the cost of the same. 1t is a sequel
of the rural mail delivery and will in
measure benefit the rural people as
that benefited them. Doubtless it is
too late to expect action at the pres
ent session of congress upon this mat
ter, but if at the next session the
grange pushes this movement with
the energy and good judgment that
the movement to remove the revenue
tax on denaturized alcohol was push
ed at this session the results may be
as satisfactory as in that matter.

All observing people must have
noticed a growing sentiment in this
country in favor of using only put-up
foods and medicines of known COM
position. 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest in the COM
position of that which he is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink
or medicine This sentiment has re-
suited i'm the introduction in the legis-
latures of many of the States, as also
in the Congress of the United States,
bills providing for the publication of
formula or ingredients on wrappers
and labels of medicines and foods put
up for general consumption.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public generally,
and satisfied that the fullest publicity
can only add to the well-earned repu-
tation of his proprietary medicines,
DIR. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
has utaken time by the forelock," as it
were, and is publishing broadcast, and
on each bottle wrapper, a full and COM
plete list of all the ingredients entering
into his medicines, uGolden Medical
Discovery" the popular liver invigor-
ator, stomach tonic, blood purifier and
heart regulator; also of his cFavorite
Prescription" for weak, over-worked,
broken-down, debilitated, nervous, in
valid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement
on the part of DIR. Pierce, has, by
showing exactly what his well-known
medicines are composed of, completely
disarmed all harping critics who have
heretofore unjustly attacked them. A
little pamphlet has been compiled,
L. .1
of all the several schools of practice,
showing the strongest endorsements by
leading medical writers of the several
Ingredients which enter into Doctor
Pierce's medicines and recommending
these ingredients for the cure of the
diseases for which DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines are advised. A copy of this little
booklet is mailed free to any one desiring
to learn more concerning the valuable,
native, medicinal plants which enter
into the composition of DR.. Pierce's
medicines. A request, by postal card
or letter, addressed to DR.. R. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y, will bring this little
booklet by return post. 1t tells exactly
what ingredients are used in the max
ing of DR.. Pierce's famous medicines.
This striking departure of DIR. Pierce
from the usual course pursued by the
manufacturers OF proprietary medl-
cines, at once takes his medicines out
of the class generally known as
Upatentn or secret medicines, neither
of which term is at all applicable to
them, as their formula now appears
on the wrapper of every bottle leaving
the great laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y.
1t places them in class all by them
selves. Neither of them contains any
which fact alone should cause
them to be classed all by themselves
and as entirely harmless vegetable ex-
tracts, made and preserved by the use
of glycerine and not with the usually
employed strong alcohol, which works

best, must be continued for consider
able periods of time, in order to make
the cure permanent.
Many years ago, DIR. Pierce found
that chemically pure glycerine, of
proper strength, was far better than

alcohol both for extracting and pre-
serving the medicinal principles residing
In our indigenous, or native, medicinal
plants, such as he employs exclusively
in manufacturing his medicines.
Some of these medicinal roots have,
since DR.. Pierce first commenced to use
them, advanced so in price, that they
may be cultivated with great profit by
our farmers. This is especially true of
Golden Seal root, which enters into
both the Doctors rGolden Medical
Discovery" and his uFavorite Prescrip-
tion." 1t now brings upward of 80
a pound, although formerly selling at
from Is to 20 cents a pound. Many
tons of this most valuable root are
annually consumed in Doctor Pierce's
Laboratory.
From vOrganic Medicines, !" by Grover
Coe, M. D., of New York, we extract
the following concerning Hydrastis
Golden Seal root) which enters largely,
as we have already stated, into the COM
position of both "Golden Medical Dis
covery" and uFavorite Prescription"
DR.. Coe says: "Hydrastis exercises an
especial influence over mucous sur
faces. Its action in this respect is so
manifest that the indications for its en-
ployment cannot be mistaken. Hence
the efficiency of vGolden Medical Dis
covery," which is rich in Golden Seal
root, in all catarrhal affections, no mat
ter in what part of the system located.)
Upon the liver it acts with equal GER
tainty and efficacy. AS cholagogue
Oliver invigorator), it has few equals.
Also in scrofula, glandular diseases
generally, cutaneous eruptions, indi-
gestion, debility, diarrh9a, and con-
stipation."
Doctor Coe continues: rHydrastis

fully employed in the cure of leucor-
rh9a. 1t is of singular efficacy when that
complaint is complicated with hepatic
Qiver) alteration lderangement); Hy-
drastis is also of inestimable value in
the treatment of chronic arrangements
of the liver. 1t seems to exercise an
especial influence over the portal vein
and hepatic Civer) structure generally,
resolving (dissolving) hillary deposits,
removing distractions, promoting Sc
cretiOn, and giving tone to the various
functions. 1t is eminently chOlagOgue
Qiver accelorator), and may be relied
upon with confidence for the relief of
hepatic Qiver) torpor. 1t promotes di-
gestion and assimilation, Obviates con-
stipation, and gives tone to the depu-
rating (cleans1ng) functions generally"
DIR. Coe further says: cWe would
here add that our experience has de-
monstrated Hydrastis to be a valu-
able remedy in bronchitis, laryngitis,
and other affections of the respiratory
organs"
After reading the foregoing extracts
who can doubt the great efficacy, in a
long list of diseases, of vGOlden Med
ical Discovery" one of the principal
ingredients of which is Golden Seal
root (Hydrastis)? And this applies
with equal force to Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription for weak, worm
out, over worked, nervous invalid
women.

This kind of rod can be put up for

The use of a rod is to conduct cleo
tricity harmlessly from the clouds to

electricity approaches building the
pointed rod discharges a portion of
the electricity and the clouds moves
away. But if discharge takes place
and the lightning strikes it passes
down the conductor into the ground

damage by lightning.

Lightning Rods.

we hdNC OlteH printed articles
showing the value of lightning-rods
as a protection to buildings. Stats
tics show that they are a very cheat
form of insurance from loss or dam
age by lightning. A rod made and
put up according to the following
directions from Farm and Fireside
will answer the purpose just as well
as one that would cost ten times as
much and was put up by some So
called expert.
A Practical and Cheap Method OF
Protecting Buildings from Lightning.
To protect a building from light
ming use two strands twisted together
of heavy, double galvanized telegraph
and telephone wire, extra best, No. a.
This is a soft iron wire and not a
fence-wire. 1t has a lower electrical
resistance than steel fence-wire
Run the wire down the edges OF
the roof to the ground, so as to have
all edges provided with a wire. Then
make good earth connections at all
places where the wire comes to the
ground by putting wire in the ground
ten or twelve feet The best way tc
make this hole is to use a five eights
or three fourths inch iron rod, twelve
or fifteen feet long. Stove up one
end to make it a little larger, and then
sharpen it. Two men can take this
rod and make a hole ten or twenty
feet deep in few minutes by work
ing it up and down. Pour a little
water around the rod to make it work
well. When the hole is the proper
depth pull out the iron rod and slip
the twisted galvanized wire down the
hole.
Connect all wires together, that is,
wrap the wire around the connecting
piece securely, making a perfect con-
tact. This will give a proper circuit
over the building. Put a. point at
each end, and on all wings or pro-
jections; and if large building, put
points in the middle
To make the points, cut two pieces
of the No. a wire four feet long, and
cut one piece four feet six inches long.
Fasten one end of a four-foot board
to the floor; place the other end on
a box or bench to bring it up conven-
lent to work, lay the three pieces of
wire on the board and clamp them to
the board eight or ten inches from
the bottom end, which should be even
Place clamp on the other end of the
wire. One wire on this end will be
six inches longer than the other two;
this is for the point Twist the three
wires together, and spread the bottom
end that was not twisted for feet
to stand the point on Sharpen the
point very sharp, and paint with gold
enamel or gold paint, which adds
much to the appearance. This soft
iron wire will not untwist very much
after it has been twisted up.
If the building has a metal ridge
board, made from galvanized strips,
the ground wires can be attached to
it and the points nailed onto the metal
ridge. The points are held in place

Still Another Red Hat.
Many of the personal friends and
admirers of Archbishop Ryan, OF
Philadelphia. and Ireland, of st
Paul, were simply stunned by the au-
thoritative statement made by Cardi-
nal Satolli regarding the impending
promotion OF Archbishop Farley
While some of them consider the re-
marks OF the cardinal an able diplo-
matte move to enlist the pope's at
tention to the prominence of the
New York See for the honor of the
cardinalate, others are working
tooth and nail that the pope shall
nominate two American cardinals at
the same time. 1t has been submit
ted 60 Plus X that the thirteen mil
lion American Catholics never had
sufficient representation in the Sa-
cred college. while so-called Catholic
nations, like France. Spain and Aus
tria, the number OF practical Catho-
lies in which is much less than in
the United States. always had five or
six cardinals representing them in
the councils of the church.
Especially at the present moment,
when II has been decided by the vati-
can authorities not to nominate any
more French cardinals because of
the troubles between the church and
the government in that country, 1t is
asserted that the only way to main
tain the proper proportion of for
eign cardinals in the Sacred college
is to promote more than one Ameri-
can prelate to the coveted honor. It
is generally thought here that this
last argument is powerful enough to
decide the pope to nominate more
than one American cardinal at the
December consistory, and It may be
after all that the promotion Of Mgr
Farley to the Sacred college will not

DIED SUDDENLY

How frequently does head line SINH
