I am well aware OF how difficult II is TO

OF the different states on this subject result
In scandals and abuses and surely there is
nothing so vitality essential 10 the welfare
OF the nation. nothing around which the
nation should 50 bend itself TO throw every
safeguard as the home life OF the average
citizen. The change would be good from
every standpoint. In particular II would
be good because IL would confer on the con
and efficiently With pOlygamy; and this
should be done whether or not marriage and
divorce are dealt with. II is neither safe
nor proper to leave the question OF po-
states. Power TO deal with II should be
conferred on the national government

CONTROL OF THE COAL LANDS

Remainder.
II Is not wise that the nation should
ALLEVIATE its remaining coal lands. ! have
temporarily withdrawn from settlement all
the lands which the geological survey has
indicated as containing, or in all prOba-
hility containing, coal The question, how
ever. can be properly settled only by legts-
lation, which in my judgment should pro-
vide for the withdrawal OF these lands
from sale or from entry, save in certain
especial circumstances The ownership
would Thea remain In the United States
which should not however, attempt to
work them, but permit them to be worked
by private individuals under a royalty
system the government keeping such con-
troll as TO permit II TO see that no excessive
price was charged consumers, II would,
OF course, be as necessary to supervise the
rates charged by the common carriers TO
transport the product as the rates charged
by those who mine II, and the supervision
must extend TO the conduct of the common
carriers, 80 that they shall in no way favor
one competitor at the expense Of another.
The withdrawal of these coal lands would
constitute policy analogous to that which
has been followed in Withdrawing the
forest lands from ordinary settlement. The
coal like the forests, should be treated as
the property Of the public and its disposal
should be under conditions which would

 "It was three years ago last spring that my health failed me-" says Mrs Arthur Conklin, of No. Coldwater street, Battle Creek, Mich. "I suffered from lcucorrhGa and other troubles that, l presume, were caused by the weakness It produced. l had sinking spells, nervous headaches, was weak and exhausted all the time and looked like Q walking skeleton.
 My back and limbs would ache al- most continually and there were days when 1 was absolutely helpless from sick headache. 1 tried one doctor after another but cannot say that they helped me at all. My liver was sluggish and 1 was troubled some with constipation
 ''Onc day physician who has now retired from practice met my husband on the street and inquired about my health. He advised my husband to get some of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for me, said they were a good medicine, better l for my trouble than he could put up. 1 tried them, improved steadily and soon was entirely cured. As soon as the leucorrhoea was cured the headaches and other pains stopped. I am entirely we'll HOW but intend to continue to use Dr. Williams Pink Pills as a spring tonic"

Waste of Farm Machinery.

The eastern farmer who travels through the west for the first time is likely to be astonished upon observing the wastefulness of western methods. It is said that the average European rural family could subsist for an en- tire year upon the amount which the American farmer wastes in the same time. And the wastefulness of western methods is exemplified in no way more clearly than in the treatment accorded by the agrieulturist to his machinery. Many fence corner, which might be used to better purpose, is the resting place during II months of the year for some expensive piece of machinery which is doomed to early dissolution through neglect. No more significant change is taking place in American agriculture than the extent to which different kinds of motive power are taking the place of animals and men. The use of the traction engine and the automobile in the place of the horse on country roads. the employment of gasoline. steam, wind and electric pow CT to operate mowers, threshers. blows. food cutters, corn huslrers and dairy machines are illustrations of epoch making changes that are now under way on the modern American farm. On one ranch in California there is $60 .000 worth of farm machinery operated by some other power than animals or man. For want of proper information these changes are involving farmers in seri- ous mistakes and large losses. They buy motors not suited to their require ments, or which they do not know how 10 operate. They buy machinery not adapted to conditions and cause it's rapid destruction by not knowing how to care for it. The department of agri- culture reports that there is made ard sold In this country each year about $IV0.O00,o00 worth of farm machinery, fully one-half of which goes into the hands of men who do not know how to select wisely or keep it in proper con- dltion. In order to alter this condition Tor the better, many agricultural col leges and experiment stations have in stituted courses Of instruction and have begun systematic experimentation for the purpose Of bringing about gen eral diffusion of intelligence about this feature of farm work

-------------.--- AVera ge Humanity

What do we mean by a good man or oad one, good woman or a bad one? Most people, like the young man in the song, are not very good, nor yet very bad. We move about the pastures of life in huge herds, and all do the same things at the same times and for the same reasons: Forty feeding like one.' Are we mean? We'll. we have done some mean things in our time Are we generous? Occasionally we are. Were We good sons or dutiful daughters? We have both honored and dishonored our parents, who in their turn have done the same by theirs. Do We melt at the sight of mis. cry? Indeed we do. Do we forget All about it when we have turned the cor. her? Frequently that is SC. Do we expect to be put to open shame at the great day of judgment? We should De terribly frightened at this did we not cling to the hope that amid the shocking revelations then for the first time made public our little affairs may tail to attract much potiee. Judged a1v ihA standards Of humanity, says Augustine Birrell, in his Essays, few people are either good or bad. T have not been q great sinner said the dying Nelson, nor had he-he had only been made great. fool Of by woman. Mankind is all tarred with the same brush, though some who chance to be operated upon when the brush is fresh from the barrel get more than their share of the tar.
