and former governor. Young Thornton
discovers that his playmate, Clare KAY
anagh, the girl of the woods, has grown
to be woman. But in the political bat
tie which he enters with his grandfather,
he is thrown much with woman of the
world, Madelaine Presson, daughter of
the state chairman. Young Thornton
pledges himself to General Weymouth,
who stands for simple honesty.
In a scene at the state convention we
have torn apart for US, the DISCUSSES and
pretenses of politicians, which shows men
as they are. and things as they happen
when politics, the game, is being played.
After series of exciting scenes General
Weymouth trumphs; he was nominated
by his party for governor, the party
which had originally passed the prohi-
billion law when General Weymouth was
governor years before.
Wasn't It Governor Weymouth who
signed the first prohibition bill In this
state?"
II was present when he signed it.
Something had to be done politically with
the Washingtonian movement, you know;
it had cut the cranks out of the main
herd. You'd think, nowadays to hear
some of the things that are said about
conditions in the old times that every
man In this state picked up his rum bot
tie and pipe. and threw 'em to Tophet
and got onto the wagon. Let me tell you
how it really happened 1t was mostly
politics. The disorganzed mob of prohi-

parties to run to-. It's a crime in poll

hibition In the platform and carried the
election. ~ fl.,
That was years ago in Maine Now,
General Weymouth, who signed the orig
inal bill for prohibition is called upon
to save his party. General Weymouth
was local optionist, but believed in the
enforcement of all laws no matter what.
Said the general to young Thornton: MY
boy, this state of ours is in a bad way.
In one respect it is especially bad. We
have one solemn law in our constitution
that is made our own political football
and the laughing stock of the nation. We
forbid the sale of liquor. Look at that
saloon we are passing at this moment.

WHAT OxYPATHY IS THE NEW SCIENCE WHICH KILLS DISEASE BY OXYGEN WITHOUT MEDICINE OR KNIFE.

Oxypathy is the science of removing disease from the human system by the use of nothing but oxygen.
 oxygen is that part of the air which renews life in the body by burning out all the dead matter, the poisons and waste caused by life. action and thought
 Oxygen is what gives the blood vii tality. It is the heat producer.
 It is the deadly enemy of all that is wrong with which the blood comes in contact.
 It fights contagion and scientists tell us all disease is congestion That is, the blood in picking all the waste matter. the germs or what not in the system frequently piles up at some point where the body is weak. The joints get weak and become un- able to throw off the ashes of life" the waste or poisons and the blood deposits there more. of them in pass ing That is what is known as rheu- matism.
 In similar general way all the other diseases of the body might be de- scribed. It is congestion causes liver, lung, heart, bowel, joint and muscle disease.
 Congestion means that there is lack of oxygen in the body. With plenty of oxygen there could be no congestion,
 That is a good deal like saying that where the sun shines there is no night
 The first thing to do in any disease then, is to increase the oxygen in the blood
 This can only be done by putting the body in condition to draw the oxy- gen out of the air in the body. This is the work of the Oxyeenator. The oxygen is not a so-called cure" It is something higher, great CT, nobler.
 The Oxygenator is a restorer, a pre- server. a builder.
 It is Natures own way of applying the greatest restorer she has.

There is nothing in all the world which acts as quickly on diseases as the Oxygenator.
 It begins at once to give you a strong sense of power drawing health back into the system.
 You almost instantly begin to feel the pain subside, the fever disappear and strength take the place of weak ness.
 As an example, the Oxygenator be- gins the reduction of the most stub born inflammations at once and over comes them within a few hours
 If used at the beginning of a fever it averts it almost instantly.
 It quiets the most agonizing pain within fifteen minutes.
 In cases of insomnia, when sleep is almost impossible. even under the most powerful sleeping powders, it produces the most profound and rest full slumber, without single harm ful effect
 The Oxygen forced into the body by it's use burns out all disease poison of whatever nature. It restores the whole body to its natural normal, healthy state

THE YEAR ON THE FARM.

Despite a bad season the south has produced this year nearly 12.O90. 900 bales of cotton. with a present market value of sSOO.O00.OOO, says the New York World. The increase in the price has more than atoned to the planter for the shortage in yield.
 There is no single crop anywhere in the world that equals our cotton in val ue. except our own corn crop, chiefly grown in the west, estimated this year at about 3,OOO,OOO.OOO bushels. and worth at this months quotations s1,- 500, 900, ,OO0
 Wheat approaches cotton with val uation of about s65O, ,0OO,0OO These are our larger crops, but there are many smaller ones with a total value that is enormous, Despite our great growth in manufactures this is still primarily an agricultural nation, with yield every year about tripling in value that of Russia, our nearest competitor. all though Russia has an area of 9,OOO,00O square miles and 150.000,000 people, nearly all of whom are farmers.
