The National Temperance Movement.

The first national movement grew
out of the preaching of Lyman Beecher
and the men of his time. In New Eng
land there had been periodical aglta-
ton until 1872 when Doctor Beecher,
then the foremost preacher in New
England introduced a report before
the General Congregational Assocla-
ton of Connecticut, which after discus
sion was adopted, recommended the
exclusion of ardent spirits from the
home, and urged church-members to
refrain from buying, selling or using
them.
Chiefly to the energy and eloquence
of Doctor Beecher was due the forma-
ton in Boston in 1913 of the first State
society for the suppression of the liquor
evil. 1t was called the Massachusetts
Society for the Suppression OF Intern;
perance, and it numbered many noted
men amog its officers.
From this time the movement grew.
1t became less popular for ministers to
drink when they made pastoral calls.
Liquor at funerals, christenlngs, we'd
dings and church conferences became
the exception rather than the rule.
Total abstinence was not so commonly
regarded as an neutrality-suspicious.

paniOu,

mendous rate. | have convinced many thou,
sands of people that these things are So
and the number is growing by leaps and
bounds"
Among more recent converts to Mr..
Cooper's beliefs is Mr.. Edgar L. Kinds, liv-
ing at 6 Tappan Street, Everett, Mass. MIR.
Kinds has this to say on the subject:
81 have suffered with stomach trouble for
eight years. l was not sick enough to be in
bed, but just felt bad all the time. My
greatest trouble was that always felt tired,
would get up in the morning feeling as tired
as when / went to bed.
81 had very irregular appetite, and was
troubled with dizzy spells. If stood for
any length of time, would have dull pain
in the lower part of my back. l was nervous
and felt all the time as though something
terrible was going to happen. l tried many
kinds of medicine, but nothing ever helped
me.
81 had about given up all hope of ever be-
ing in good health again, when heard so
much of Cooper and decided to try his
medicine. l took one bottle of his New Dis
covery and was greatly surprised at the re-
suit. I gained II pounds in a few weeks. l
can now eat anything l wish and feel like a
new man. l cheerfully recommend this
medicine to all sufferers from stomach
trouble"
1t is worth anyOne's time, who is not en-
joying good health, to learn Of MIR. Cooper's
wonderful preparations. We are selling
them in large quantities..

RAG RUGS ARE BACK AGAIN.

1t is quite surprising what artistic
rugs can be made from rags that have
been torn into strips from ne-half to
one inch in width and dyed some pretty
shade, says the New Idea Woman's
Magazine for May. Muslin, heavy I'M
bleached muslin, and undershirts can
all be utilized, and when dyed in the
same dye will not all take the same
shade, which gives a varlegated appear
ance to the rug when completed that is
quite effective Some households have
old chenille curtains which they have
not the heart to throw away, although
good taste has long since condemned
them as hangings. These may be ravel-
ed, and the chenille makes good ma
terial for crocAeted work. If not heavy
enough, use two or three strands at once.
The most artistic results are obtained,
however, by buying new material, or
what is known as seconds, which can
be bought in large cities for nominal
price by the pound. Lengths of five
and six yards of outing flannel in varl-
Gus pale shades can be dyed, and when
crocheted make soft, pretty rugs.

which have since been abandoned ana
have now grown up to white pine:
Farming has always been on small
scale but with the development OF
great farming interests in the west,
The farmer Of the northeast has been
handicapped in his competition for the
markets. Many of the younger gen.
Grafton have left the old home farms
and gone to the cities for more lucra-
tive employment. All this has result,
ed in abandonment of old farms and
fields and many of these are growing
IN to pine. There is a tendency for
men who left the farms many years
ago to return and spend the summer
months among their boyhood surround
ings. They love the native forests ana
consequently encourage the growth OF
nine in the fields once cultivated. SO
there is an esthetic as well as COM
mercial value attached to this young
growth.
The white pine of the northeast does
not compare in rate of growth with the
old field pine of the south, but the
wood is more valuable for lumber, box
boards, Shingles, and other purposes
and the demand for second growth pine
is yery great. 1t is estimated there are
500. 900 acres of abandoned land IN
southern New Hampshire and a large
part of this is growing up to white pine:
Investigations show that 1t Is mosS
profitable to lumber these second
growth stands of white pine when they
are fifty to sixty years old. .....--
There is large and incre aslng source
of wealth in our old field pine lands. IL
is never the object of forestry to en-
courage tree growth on lana that -
better suited for agriculture. Al Ghe
same time there are vast areas uncuitl-
waited that are producing no income to
their owners, Such land should be
permitted to grow trees and be protect
ed from fire and misuse until such time
as they may become more desirable for
other purpose.

Does human health depend on one organ
alone? This question is becoming widely
discussed since l.. I. Cooper first advanced
his theory that the stomach is the true seat
of life and all health is dependent upon IT,.
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with remarkable
success in the sale of his new medicine, be-
lieveS that the stomach is responsible Tor
most sickness, and that this organ Is weak
in the present generation. While discuss
ing this theory recently, he said: II am
asked time aud again to tell why my medl-
cine has made such record wherever l
nave introduced 1t. My answer always is,
because it restores the stomach to normal
condition. No one will deny that today
there are more half-sick men and women
than ever before. Nothing critical seems to
be the matter with them. They are just
half-sick most of the time. They don't know
really what is the matter with them l
have talked with thousands during the past
two years, and few knew indeed what their
trouble was. One said nervousness, an
other said kidney trouble, another liver
complaint, some constipation. or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had treated,
as they called it, for most of these diseases
at different times. A very common COM
plant is 'all run down. or tired all the
time or mo appetite
81 know positively that every bit Of this
chronic i'll health is caused by stomach
trouble, and nothing else. My New Dis
covery puts the stomach in sound condition
in about six weeks. Mighty few people can
be sick with sound digestion. That is
why my medicine is selling at such ire
