True's Elixir Goes Round The World.

True's Elixir, manufactured by DIR. ]. F
True & Co., of Auburn, Maine, since 1851 is
having steady growth with rapidly increas-
ing distribution, both domestic and foreign. A
special representative has been sent on tour
around the world.
This man has visited the Sandwich Islands
China, the Philippines, Japan, Australia and
India and agencies have been opened in each
of these countries. A year and a half will be
given entirely to this trip; England, France,
Spain and Germany being visited on the return
journey.
No fact that can be mentioned speaks more
forcibly of the great value of this old, reliable
family medicine than this wonderful and grow
ing foreign trade.
China and India alone support a teeming
population of 700000,000 people. Shipments
of True's Elixir have already been made to
these two countries.
In addition to this tremendous opportunity in
the orient, thriving trade is developing with
British Honduras, Panama, Porto Rico, Ecua-
dor, Peru and Chill.
A surprising thing about this Southern trade
is the fact that it was built up originally
through the recommendations of travellers who
have visited these countries and spoken high
ly of True's Elixir.
A vast amount of printed matter for adver-
Using purposes is now being prepared in Span
ish for distribution through Spanish America.
The Canadian trade is supplied from the
Company's branch laboratory in Montreal.
gratifying result of this worldwide cam
paign in the interest of True's Elixir is the re-
cent receipt at the home Office of large orders
from the cities of Melbourne and Adelaide in
Australia.

SOMETHING ABOUT
DIFFERENT COMETS

Tom Stout, the editor of the Lewis
town Democrat, claims he has made
study of comets, and gives a read
able article on the present mysterious
heavenly visitor that can now be seen
with the naked eye, and other comets
past and prospective:
Why is comet? Likewise, what
is it, whence came it and to what
port is it bound? Also, are the resi-
dence of this mundane sphere likely
to suffer any Inconvenience through
having one Of these Orbitless frag-
ments of old man Stars family butt
into Mother Earth some morning be-
fore breakfastY
What About the Comet.
These are questions which have
been agitating hundreds Of Lewis
town star gazers during the last few
days. They are the burdens Of all
interrogations slipped into the ques-
tion box Of the Democrat. Their
discussion has been eclipsed, for the
time, the all-absorblng question of,
why is a railroad and how many are
we going to get?
Comet Gazing Popular.
About nine out of ten people in
LewistOwn have spent an hour or two
each evening during the past week at
the exciting pastime of comet gazing.
The tops Of tall buildings have been
climbed at eminent risk OF limb and
life to afford closer view of the lit
tie streak OF light which has been
daily flashing across the western
heavens. Learned discussions have
been vouchsafed by scientists and
near-scientists.
The star editor of the Democrat
has gone to some trouble to secure a
bit of data ON the subject of comets.
Comet Facts and Figures.
The comet which is now on exhibi-
ton each afternoon is not Halley's
comet as was at first supposed. This
is brand new comet having been
discovered in Africa but few weeks
ago. For the lack of better name,
it has beer dubbed "a 1910" Fol
lowing the habits of it's kind, young
"a 1910" is likely to disappear from
view in a few days and not come
again within the range of our biggest
telescopes for Il generation or so.
That's Il way these nomadic stars
have.
Elements Of the Comet.
AS first seen through powerful
! glass, a comet looks like a wisp of
silverv gray mist with something
hard and shining inside. This hard
and shining object is called the

he'll get a good crop the following
year. This is one of the few plants
that can be grown without sum-
mer's tilling, also, thus saving a
whole year. Break the ground we'll,
harrow it and SOW in alfalfa about
the last of May. Planting eight
pounds Of seed to the acre you will be
surprised at the amount of hay you
will get.
''The amount of macarOni wheat
one should use in seeding ground
should be from 10 to 40 pounds to the
acre and for Canadian field peas
about 30 pounds to the acre. The
better condition Of the land the more
seed YOU should use.''
Mr.. Holden says that the arid
bench lands in this locality suitable
for drv land farming are being taken
up very rapidly and that he believes
splendid success is going to be
made here in the future by them.
The worst trouble, he says, with the
new dry farmers is that they try to
grow crops too soon, or before they
have conserved any moisture by
scientific tilling of the soil, and, of
course, make a failure of their crops.
The experiment station at Bozeman
has arranged for 80 acres of MIR. Hol-
den's land to be titled this year under
the direction of the station and under
the supervision Of Mr.. Holden. En-
periments will be made with various
crops that have not yet been grown
in this section.

TO SAVE MILLIONS
BY new METHODS
Taft Would Cut Red Tape and
MOdernizG Routine.

The reforms of President Taft are
being accomplished in the face OF
congressional opposition, and 1t is
not surprising that his laudable ef-
forts to save millions of dollars an
nually through reforming the bust
ness methods of the government
should have the experience of the
railroad b''l, the postal savings bank
bill, and all other administration
measures which have come up dur
ing the present session.
1t will be recalled that when the
president asked for an appropriation
of 100000 for devising economies n
the administration of the govern
ment, the item was knocked out Of
the civil appropriation bill in Il o
house Tho senate restored it, bL Il,
led by CONGRESSMAN Madden of Illi-
nois, merry pack of watchdogs' is
awaiting 2 chance to kill this portion
of the senate measure when 1t comes
back to the house for agreement.
The president is confident that he
can save several millions of dollars
annually If he can reorganize depart
ments and bureaus in such a way as
to prevent duplication of work, rele-
gate obsol~ methods, rrune out ex.
travagarce, abolish loafing, and other
wise rut tie executive branch on
business basis. He proposes to en-
ploy expert accountants TO study the
methods III vogue in each department
and rerort recommendation Of i'm
prcvegerts that WI erect the de-
,.;ae5 a,cEc"ics.
The success which attended the re-
organization of the methods in the
treasury department by Secretary
MacVeagh inspired the president to
carry the practice into ether execu-
tive departments.
The treasury reforms were inau-
gurated largely through the efforts Of
Charles D. Merton. now the presi-
dents secretary. while he was assist
ant to Mr.. MacVeagh. A firm of eX-
pert accountants was employed.
Their report. showing the obsolete
methods in vogue and the waste of
time and money in every bureau Of
the department is said to furnish in
teresting reading 1t has been guard
ed from publicity, but it's recommen-
dations were put into operation by
Mr.. Norton with the result of saving
the government several hundred thou
sand dollars.
When the item came up originally
Congressman Madden raised the
point of order that it constituted new
legislation and had no place in an ap-
preparation till. Congressman Mann
of Chicago, who was in the chair,
sustained the point of order and the
item went by the board.
1t is peculiar to the Taft admins
tration that effective work is being
performed so quietly. The reorgan-
ization of the treasury has been
achieved almost without the country
having knowledge of it. Efforts are
being made persistently,I on every
hand, to cut off waste. The president
is urging that reforms be made in
court procedure to the end that liti-
gation may be less expensive.
But. as in the western railroads
case, all Of this is being done SO qui-
etly that the public-its mind attract
ed b. clamor over petty matters
scarcely takes time to realize the
tremendous advance that is being
made.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

The postal savings banks bill is
one of really great Importance. Many
bills have been introduced in Con-
gress for this purpose, but they had
been unsuccessful till President Taft
put his mighty shoulder to the legis-
lative wheel, and this bill has been
adopted in the face not only of indif.
ference, but of opposition by the Re-
terms of the bill, the Postmaster
General, the Attorney General and the
Secretary of the Treasury are the
trustees who will decide what post
offices shall be permitted to receive
deposits. 1t is not believed that the
system will be hurriedly extended to
all parts of the country. The pur-
pose of the bill as President Taft has
viewed it is to extend banking facili-
ties throughout the country for the
benefit of poor people in those locali-
ties which now lack savings deposit
taries. Speaking of the enactment
of the bill, the President recently
said that the trustees will probably
go slow at first and establish only a
few postal banks in cities of the first
class and fewer still in cities of the
second class, and so down to the
larger towns. Under the law as pass
ed, any person of ten years or older
will be permitted to open an account
in postal bank. No deposit of less
than 81 will be received, but the
postmaster is permitted to sell special
10c stamps which later may be
turned in when the amount of these
shall have reached 81. No single
person may deposit more than 500
in single month, and no postal bank
account will be permitted to exceed
$500. The government will pay 2 per
cent interest on deposits. The i'm
portant feature of the bill is that
authorizing the investment of postal
bank funds in government securities.

And what would the tariff reform
ers do should they attempt to recast
the law? Some of the most effective
protection is that given to sugar, rice,
lumber, cotton goods and other south
ern products, and southern sentiment
is unalterably hostile to the removal
of the duties. In fact, some south
ern statesmen think there should be
more instead of less protection for
southern unsatisfactory Times.
