INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.
Michigan Wants Direct Legislation,
but Other States Do Not.

but Other States Do Not.
The executive committee Of the Mich
igan state grange has issued a circular
letter to members of the Order in that
state calling on them to support only
such candidates for the state constitu.
tional convention as will be in favor
of direct legislation. All candidates
are asked to reply to the following
question: Are you in favor of direct
legislation on the plan of the initiative
and referendum. and, If elected, will
you exert your best effort to incorpo
rate it's principles into the new consti.
tutlon?"
1t is interesting to note how differ.
emily this question Of direct legislation
is regarded in the different grange
states. Michigan favors it. SO does
Maine. So does Washington and Ore.
gon. New York does not, and many
other states do not. Why should there
be any variance? II direct legislation
Is good for one state, why not for an.
other? Perhaps states having great
cities within their limits would better
not adopt 1t. This matter was dis.
cussed at the national grange meeting
at Denver last year, and it is quite
likely to come up at the Hartford ses-
sion.

SELLING TOGETHER"
A Practical Plan Wanted For Co.
operative Selling as Well as Buying.

A Practical Plan Wanted For Co.
operative Selling as Well as Buying.
National Master Bachelor says, "Thc
cooperative selling Of farm products
has legitimate field in grange work
and should be given more attention"
Who will devise plan that will be
practical? The fact is there is no
more important problem facing the
grange today than this one of success
fully selling together" This sort Of
cooperation is successfully carried on
only in few isolated instances in the
grange. 1t may well look for sugges-
lions from other organizations, as, for
instance, the Neosho (Mo) Fruit Grow
ers' association, the Sparta (Wis) Fruit
Growers association, the Hood River
(Ore) Apple Growers union, the Coun-
ell Bluffs Qa.) Grape Growers associa-
ton, the Fennville (Mich.) Fruit Ship
pers' association, the United States
Wheat Growers association, Spokane,
Wash, and the various fruit growers
associations in California.

A Little Wool Trust.

One of the subordinate oranges
down in Maine has evolved practical
scheme for benefiting the farmers,
says an exchange. A Patron residing
at a convenient place has been au-
thorized and furnished capital to buy
from Its members the wool produced
by their focks and pay % cents per
pound In cash for the same. AS soon
as all the wool is in 1t will be turned
over to the wholesale wool buyer who
bids the most money for 1t. The extra
amount received will then be divided
pro rata. Thus they will receive top
prices with no middleman's profit to
be deducted. the only expense being
the actual cost Of labor for handling.

Farmers Urged to Organize.

Secretary Of State John s. Whalen
made a brief address on grange day
Of the New York state fair. He ear
nestly urged an organization of the
grange in every farming community
and believes that the state grange
should bear the same relation to the
farmer that the labor union does to
men who work in shop, factory or
mine. Farmers must cooperate for
mutual benefit, and he believes that
the farmer should be allowed to set a
fair price on products as much as the
city man does on his labor. He also
believes that the state should provide
a rural school educational system for
the young people who are interested in
agriculture.

CONFIRMED PROOF.
Residents Of OWosso Cannot Doubt
What Has Been Twice Proved.


In gratitude for complete relief from
aches and pains of bad backs-from dis
tressing kidney ills-thausonds have
publicly recommended Doans Kidney
Pills. Residents of Owosso, who 80
testified years ago, now say their cures
were permanent. This testimony
doubly proves the worth of Doan's
Kidney Pills to Owosso sufferers.
Wellington White, retired, living at
20S Goodhue St., Owosso, Mich. says:
Doan's Kidney Pills certainly act as
represented. l have suffered a great
deal from kidney trouble. My back
caused me great annoyance and sharp,
shooting pains extended to the shoulder
blades. 1 came to the conclusion that
my kidneys were disordered, and pro-
cured box of Doan's Kidney Pills. l
found great relief at the first, and con-
tinued taken them until my good
health was restored. L gave state
ment eight years ago in which I recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills. During
the lapse of time 1 have not suffered
from kidney trouble whatever. 1 con-
scientiously recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills.

LYDIA e. PiNKHHM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for wOman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
" Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women 1 am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years / had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time / had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what | suffered, and at times 1
could hardly walk. About two years
n l. rs III
/ followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia re. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

'.Man Is As Old
As His Stomach"
This Persian Epigram Is the Real
Gauge of Mans Life.


The Persians were very sagacious
people, noted among other things, for
their deep thinking on life and the things
which make up life
The above epigram shows the wisdom
of their thought.
When mans stomach is able to fur
nish new material to the system as fast
or faster than the natural decay of man
requires. then such man lives his fullest
and his best.
When through wrong living or disease
a mans stomach begins to tax the other
organs and takes from the blood strength
which it cannot give back in nourishment
taken from food then begins the death of
man and he decays fast The stomach is
strong, splendidly strong, and can stand
an untold amount of abuse and neglect,
but when it dies, man dies.
The stomach gives tons upon tons of
good rich blood every year to the sys-
tenn and draws only $50 pounds of nour-
ishment for its own use If. however, the
food which it receives cannot be turned
into blood which is capable of use BY
the body then the stomach receives no
help from the other organs.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the
most perfect digestive qualities known to
science and at the same time the most
powerful. They will mix with the poison
Gus Juices of a sick stomach and digest
food in spite of this handicap.
They will stop gas making and bad
breath They tone up the nerves of the
whole digestive canal including those of
the stomach.
A single ingredient contains strength
enough to digest 5000 times its weight in
mixed food
They have stood the test of time and to-
day are more sought after than all their
imitators combined.
They are used and indorsed by 10000
physicians. Every druggist sells them,

their value. Send us your name and ad-
