After the Ball.

After thinking the matter over we
have come to the conclusion that Broth
err Samuel Stairs, of the Dover News
has got the right dope about the whole
question. He says:
"It's AL over-the baby's named
now let us get down to earth and
things nearer home.
1--WE didn't all get our choice for
President but the world will move on
just the same.
1.-The old COW will give just as much
milk. the baby will keep you walking
at night in the same old way and squall
in the same high key over the same
brand of collie.
''The tobacco grower will stick to
his unselfsh effort to regulate by or
ganization the price of that which he
produces and continue in his endeavor
to pull his erring brother away from
the influence of his trust and lead him
to the bright highway of industrial in
dependence and plenty.
"Molasses will be just as sweet and
vinegar just as sour as before the cleo
ton.
Lovers will love in the same sweet
fashion and the same old moon will
shine down upon them as of yore.
"Tattlres will tattle and their pois-
oned tongues will blight pure charact-
ers as they have since the world be-
gan, and will as long as there is an
evil tongue and diseased brain left in a
human head.
Christians will be Christians still
and :the odd Nick will get in his
work just as sure as ever.
"BilIs and notes and promises to pay
will fall due with their usual regular
ity and promptness.
There will be wedding bells and
funeral dirges, feasts and starvation,
joy and grief, health and sickness,
wealth and poverty, pleasure and suff-
ering, in just about the same proper
tion as before the election.
LET US all live and strive to rejoice
with the happy, healthy and wealthy,
relieve the sick and suffering, help
those who are stricken by poverty S
hand, and STAY the wolf that bowls at
the widows door.
LET US see too it that no neighbor
lacks for assistance or sympathy, and
the mere election of one man or anoth-
err to the Presidency will be found to
be of little real consequence.
"Get down to earth again..

Better Schools Will Mean Better
Farmers.

Back of every question that has to
DO with better farming, better homes
and better lives, is the question of bet
ter rural schools. If we are to have
better farming we must begin with the
boys and grow them. There is no bet
ter way. The problem that is now be-
fore our people is, how Ito bring the
best school to the boy or girl right
where they are, on the farm, and to
so revise its curriculum that valuable
time shallnot be wasted in teaching
studies in which the average country
boy has no interest and which he will
never make good use of. There is need
that even the elementary text book
shall be revised, shortened and sempli-
ned so that more time can be given to
elementary agriculture, nature studies
and practical demonstration in these
subjects will fit him for country life and
make him see the value of this life
rightly lived and to love it. 1t seems
almost incredible that the farmers are
not asking for this reformation of the
rural schools and that they themselves
are the greatest hinderance to the
needed changes. -Calvin j. Hudson, at
banquet of New York Institute Work

a Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or a starved
liver. It would be a stupid as well as
savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
Indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of silver
trouble" by its wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretionS of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection Of other organs.

at one time and yet point to torpid liver or
