Where the Sauce Comes From.

To see to the best advantage the pre-
Iiminaries of cranberry sauce we must
visit Cape Cod, that elongated bit Of
land whereby the state Of Massachu-
sets extends a crooked and reckoning
finger into the Atlantic. Here within
a radius of an hours ride of historic
old Plymouth, where the Pilgrims land
ed, is the greatest of all cranberry dis
tricts. This whole countryside would
not be considered to make more than
a single good-sized county in some Of
cur western states, and yet in a season
when it is blessed with good crop this
cranberry zone will ship more than a
third of a million barrels of the fruit.

Potatoes.

Carlyle once told a man who was
financially interested in gold mining
that all the gold ever produced by
California was not worth one good
mealy potato. And yet the potato in
Scotland has a history Of less than
200 years When Macdonald of Clan
ranaId in 1743 bought seed potatoes
for his tenants in South Uist they OBJ
jected to planting them because the
potato is not mentioned IN the Bible!
Somewhat later George Bachop, one
of the Ochtertyre tenants, when told
by his wife that she had potatoes for
supper, contemptuously replied: "Tat-
ties! tatties! never suppit on them
a. my days, and Wilma the NIGHT. Gle
them to the herd, and get me sowens."

years has been the chief of admins

During my administration three
prisons for women have been closed

der Aa. There are two reasons for
this decrease of criminal women. One
is the growth of social work. There
are societies without number not only
to rescue the fallen but to help the

is simply the fact that women are al

NO Release by Telegraph.

Prisoners confined in military prfs-
ems in different parts of the country
cannot be released by telegraph, no
matter how urgent may be the nece--
sity for such a course. That was the
custom, however, until within short
time ago. Several shrewd persons
learned the form of such releases ana
procured the blank kilograms with
the result that about a dozen pris-
oners were released in San Francis
co on orders from the secretary OF
war in Washington. When the trick
was discovered by war department
officials, orders were issued to all per-
sons in charge of prisoners to release
no one on a telegraphic order, no
matter by whom signed. Even the
president cannot release a prisoner
by telegraph.

The great question of humanity
is for health and strength, especially
on the part of those who have lost
this priceless blessing. Loss of
health means that the organs of the
body have become so weakened by
overwork that they are no longer
able to perform their work in the
manner nature intended them to do.
Meritol tonic Digestive is especially
intended to assist nature in her eff
forts to strengthen and build up the
run down system, restore the or
gans of the body to their natural
condition, through which the body
will receive its proper nourishment
and health sustaining rich, red
blood. We are authorized by the
directors of the American Drug &
Press association to guarantee Meri-
toll Tonic Digestive to those who
are in need of a reliable tonic and
blood builder. c. R. Taggart,
member of American Drug & Press
association.

Heine's Mission.

What Heine really desired and
fought for was the liberation of man
in body and spirit. He strove to
break up the crust Of outworn dog
mas and traditions and selfish tyran-
MES. which in his day weighed upon
the spirit of the German people with
an oppression hardly realizable by US.
He was most truly one of the makers
of Germany. That that country pro-
duced him is one of its chief glories,
one of it's many claims on the sym
patty and admiration Of the modern
world. 1t Is time that he were bet
ter understood there; and to be un-
derstood is prominently in Heine's
case-and not in his relations of citi-
zenship and patriotism alone-to be
forgiven.-London Times.
