The best cure for dull times is op- timism. and conversely the worst foe of prosperity is pessimism, says an exchange. One of the surest ways of bringing about setback in the tide of prosperity is for men of promi- hence in the financial world to keep harping on the dangers that are ahead. Such talk, whether founded upon probability or not is calculated to make men nervous and appreheE- sive; to cause them to curtail expenses and investments. This process, once well under way, carries to a disds- trous extent unless checked by the in- terposition of some stupendous force. If the soil measures up to average in the matter of crops and there are no serious financial failures, a depression of values and consequent tendency toward liquidation and curtailment must De attributed 10 arluclal causes, to malevolent factors working upon the conservatism of investors. This is a dangerous game, and if played recklessly by men who stand to make on the fall of prices it is apt to pro- duce results from which the country will be slow in recovering. Now is the time, therefore, for those who be- lieve in the present and future sound ness of industrial conditions, who have faith in the national prosperity and who are capable of correctly in- terpeting the signs of the times to come forth and proclaim their conii- dence, to offset the croakings of the calamity prophets.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1907.

While serfdom has long been abol- ished in Roumania, it is said that ov- CT 80 per cent of the peasants of that country are still in state of serf- dom. The people live by agriculture and one-fifth of the soil, which must support nearly 100000 peasant fam flies, is owned by 5000 landlords, many of whom do not live on their estates, but disport themselves in the gay capital of Bucharest. Many of the large landholders of Roumania happen to be Jews, and a still larger proportion of the agents of the absen- tee proprietors are of that race. Nat urally under those conditions war on the landlords takes the appearance of war on the Jews. It is not q race war, however, which periodically dis tufbs Roumania. Class hatred is really at the base of the peasant up- risings and outrages. The govern ment of the country, in good faith apparently, is encouraging tenant right and small holdings of land. But the establishment of q new economic and social order must be work of time, as may be seen by the land troubles which have disturbed Ire land for a century past.

 It is natural that the octogenarian German agitator, Karl Blind, should see the specter of revolution stalking in every public movement of tho kali ser's people. To his minr the revolu- tionists of 1s4S were right, forever right" and their principles will come to their own perhaps in short order. Reviewing in the Nineteenth Century the recent elections, in which the vot- CTS rallied around the defensive power of the country" he points out that throughout all there was mani Tested public spirit with which the imperial crown will have to reckon henceforth.'' Sententiously he de scribes this manifestation with re- spect to it's bearing upon the new situation in Germany as the spirit that marked the years shortly before 1S4S" and led finally to the declara- ton from the lips of William " of Prussia, "In those days we (the roy al crowD all lay flat on our bellies.' The aged revolutionist does not hillt that the kaiser, with Ven Bulow, Dernberg and others, is soon to be ill the humiliating attitude of a kinglet of 1S4S The public spirit is work ing to that end, but a companion specter to the revolutionary Nemesis is the mailed fist, the advance courier of personal government" Needless to say that this authority does not find in German socialism cause for the periodical imitation of the mailed fist In his view the enemies of Ger man liberalism are on the outside. mo- tably France and England, but also those other nations that are strength ening their naval armaments. Ger many ranks as only fifth in sea power, yet she is exposed to manifold dan gers" To threaten Germans then is the best means of furthering the cause of personal government" and of hampering the efforts of men ''who want to make an end of that nui- sance.' Briefly, the German people are for national independence first and for personal and political free dom afterward and will rally around the defender of Germany against tine world, whoever and whatever he may be. So then, the mailed fist swells or shrinks as the throb of the pulse of world politics seems assuring or the wise doctor at Berlin.

One sitting of the court was enough for the public prosecutor to present the case against Harry K. Thaw for the killing of Stanford White. Nev- ertheless District Attorney Jerome himself was the hardest working par ticipant in the long trial. One news paper, which has all along been q staunch supporter of Jerome's uncon- ventional methods, said early in the trial that stranger who dropped in to the courtroom might easily infer that the prosecutor and not the pris- oner in the dock was on trial. This was sarcasm. aimed in part at the presiding judge and the defendants counsel. Tn another sense the allu- sion was to the point. The people have been closely watching and esti- mating the man who has twice been elected to the important office of pub lie prosecutor as a ''reformer." who would make the town too hot for wrongdoers. It has Oeen recognized all along that the Thaw case was the most cxacting that has come up dur ing Jerome's phenomenal career. ex- acting from political as well as from judicial point of view. Je- roIne's prestige as reformer and a
 man Of the people was put to the haz- ard. and he might easily lose popular approval while winning legal
 triumph. and vice versa. The people
 were divided from the start in thcir opinions and feelings bearing on tine case. When Jerome asked for a .un- acy commission after vigorously com batting the insanity plea. whispers
 were heard to tho effect that the Thaw money fad brought about col
 fusion between prosecutor and de- fendant-s counsel tO defeat the ends of justice This was an extreme

NoURIsHMENT FOR THE BABY
Neither Milk Nor Solid Food Should
 Be Forced or Urged.

Do not at any time force or urge milk or solid food upon the child; If he should refuse part or the whole of a feeding. let that meal go. and do not give any food until the next feed ing hour comes.
 For the first 24 hours after birth very little food is necessary; feed the infant about once in five hours. If it is possible, the baby should be nursed by the mother. as the nourishment 1t receives from her contains certain ir- gradients which are necessary to cleanse the stomach and intestinal tract of the nevly-born, as well as to stimulate the digestive juices to ac- tiyity. If for some good reason 1t Is not possible for the mother to nurse her child. give as substitute a little boiled water slightly sveetened or thin eruei dextrinixed- After the first ss hours milk can be given in dilute form.

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and 1t is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such woman
Is never DONE and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end OF a
few years, the back begins TO ache,
there is a displacement, inflammation
orulceration of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
TO continue her duties is pitiful.

Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. It keeps the feminine organs
In q strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
operating therefrom it is most eff

making her strong and well assists

WATER COMMITTEE
DRILLING WELLS
The Situation at the Waterworks
is Becoming Serious.
TAE sPRINas 90 DEFICIENT

It is impossible to Supply the City
With Water for All Purposes, bui
It is Hoped With Additional Wells
to Have sufficIency.
Realizing that the water supply OF
Boulware Springs, which is the
source from which Gainesville gets
its water is low and inadequate, the
City Council, through the water com
mittee, is endeavoring to remedy the
deficiency by sinking wells.
Contractor Lewis, one of the most
competent well drillers in the State,
has been working for several days on
a well at Boulwere Springs, and is
making good progress. He has reach.
ed considerable depth, and expects
a good flow when water is finally
reached.
The well now being sunk is six
inches in diameter, and will make a
good yield when completed. 1t is un.
derstood chat three wells will be
drilled, which should be ample to sup
ply the demand, considering the sup
ply being furnished by the flowing
springs.
This work is being done under the
supervision of q. E. Cannon, chair
