POTATO RAISING.
North Arson Man Has New and
Valuable Method

George w. Spalding of North An
son has a unique way of raising po-
tatoes which does away with having
to hoe them or spray them for bugs
or dig them and at the same time he
gets bigger yield than by the usuaI
method. In the spring before the
snow is off even, he has several box
es made that are about two feet high
and foot wide. In his cellar he
places as many of these as he can
and in the bottom he puts straw with
the seed potato under the straw. BY
the time the snow is off the potatoes
have become we'll sprouted and he
takes all the boxes out, placing them
on the ground. He does not touch
them again until about the last OF
June when he wants some early po-
tatoes. He throws the box off digs
the straw over and gets in each box
anywhere from eight to fifteen good
sized potatoes. This method not on
ly saves him the work through the
summer but saves him ploughing the
ground.

Food Fernents
Causes Indigestion and Stom
ach Distress

Indigestion or any chronic stomach
trouble leads to loss of vigor and
vitality; half the nervous wrecks in
America today can blame Indigestion
for their condition.
Fermentation of food means that
your stomach Is run down; that your
1000 does not digest and that the
blood. not being supplied with nutri-
tious elements, cannot supply the
various organs of the body with suf-
ficient nourishment.
That's why Indigestion often causes
eye weakness, brain flag, palpitation
OF the heart and inactive liver.
MONA stomach tablets will build
up your run down stomach, will ban
ism Indigestion and put your whole
system In good condition IL you will
give them chance. They are sold

A LETTER TO Be READ
BY ALL

On Sunday, August 10, the Boston
! Post contained an alleged interview
with Prof. John A. Nichols, Secre-
tary Century Pledge Signing Crusade
containing statements never made by
him, and many of which were abso-
lutely false. Prof. Nichols immedi-
ately sent the following letter by spe-
cial delivery to the Post, repudiating
the statements contained In said in
terview, and today sent me a copy of
his statement. H. N. Pringle.
Copy of letter sent to Boston Post !:
Boston, Mass.
August IA, 1911.
Editor Boston Post,
Dear Sir:
| know of NO reason why the Post
should try to misrepresent me, and
yet 1t certainly did me very great
injustice in the alleged interview
which 1t published yesterday. The
sentiments which | there made to
give utterance to are the exact OPP
posite OF those which | entertain. We
did not on our recent trip find whis-
key and beer easy to obtain any
where. nor did | say. nor do | be-
lieve that Maine is honeycombed
with kitchen barrooms. The state
ment with regard to the way liquor
was sold in Pittsfield and Portland
were not made by me. and as mat
ter of fact | was never in Pittsfield
n IN ho Ia,
Portland fitted up in what was form
erly coal bina presume these
statements were obtained from J. b.
Lewis, as showing the results OBJ
tanned by him in his own personal
Investigations, but ( must strongly
object to their being placed in my
mouth. | distinctly stated to your re-
porter that one saloon I'm Boston. do
ing business on Saturday night from
five O'Clock until eleven, would sell
more liquor than fifty so-called kit
chen barrooms in Maine would in
one week of seven days. | saw no
signs of sale of liquor In Lewiston,
even In the section where 1t Is said
to be sold. A so-called saloon in
Bath | found to be cigar store. with
no visible signs of the sale OF liquor.
ne tour was not a tour OF investi-
gation, and Mrs. Katherine Lent
stevenson did not take any part in
any so-called Investigations. She
did, however. do splendid service for
prohibition in Maine by showing the
utter failure of our high local option
license law. The law is undoubted- !
ly violated In Maine, but even i'm
perfectedly enforced 1t has been a
great blessing to the State. If your
reporter is looking for violations of
the law he will not have to leave
Boston. Yesterday afternoon and
night he could have found young
girls and men drinking beer and IL |
quors in many of the so-called hotoi3
Of this city, and not the slightest eff
fort being made to secure obedience to
even the plain letter OF the law. In
spite of the desperate efforts OF the
allied liquor forces to capture Maine,
have every reason to believe that |
Maine will maintain her righteous
law, and still guard her people from
Inc evils of the license system. II

Invidions Pronouns.

Although English is pretty nearly
free from the pitfalls that await the
unwary essaying to use the second per-
sonal pronoun in German, French, or
Italian, there are perilous possibilities
in our third personal pronouns- The
second personal pronOun singular,
nominative, which might have made
trouble for the inexperienced, has dis
appeared from spoken English save
among very careful speakers in the
dwindling Society of Friends, and the
objective form thee" does duty for
both cases in the familiar usage of
most who employ the plain speech.
Persons with nice sense of fitness
realize, indeed, that the pronoun ''you''
requires careful handling, even though
one cannot easily commit with it the
mortal offense possible i'll the misuse
of the French "tu." Carefully in
structed persons, neverth eless, in adj
dressing their elders and their official
superiorS, and men of keen social per-
ceptiOns in addressing women with
whom they have but slight acquaint-
ance, avoid the naked you" and
| your" and couple the pro1oun with
the name of the person addressed, or
with some deferential sign, conveyed
by tone of voice. inclination of the
body, or the like. When we come to
the third personal PROF Guns we find
difficulties upon which the grammars
give few, if any, hints. Woolsey's
y
but bad courtiership. The grammars
teach US the polite sequence, you"
the,'' a. but do not warn US that the
third personal pronoun is invidious
unless used with the most delicate
care. 1t may have, indeed, almost the
cOntemptuous force of the Latin '.ipse'
when employed of a person present in
addressing another. The plural form
"they' is q little less ipviGious, per-
haps because it is inconvenient to run
over two or more names in indicating
several persons within hearing. The
objective forms, him. her them
all share in greater or less degree the
invidious quality of 'he." The raw
crudity of speech that disregards these
subtitle distinctions may reach the
point of studied rudeness and even of
positive insult, yet, the schools, which
concern themselves with so many non
essentials of language, speak no warn
ing of all this. Perhaps the official in
structors of youth are thus silent be-
cause the matter is not so much one of
grammar as of etiquette 1t may be
accepted as another proof of some
thing essentially better hammered in
the French and Italians than in our
selves that their grammars carefully
point out distinctions in the use of the
second personal prOnoun that are al
most as clearly matters of etiquette as
the neglected delicacies of usage in the
case of our third personal pronouns.-
