WEBSTER'S BLUE COATS.
His Liking For the Color Came From
His Early Homespun Suits,


Daniel Webster went 10 Dartmouth

probably every thread was carded

color was indigo blue.

about the uses Of butternut bark and
the subtle power for slate color that

white maple and were not uuacquaint
ed with the various dyes that root and
flower. bark and leaf could be made 10
yield through the agency Of yitriol and
alum and eopperas 10 set them fast.
the universal standby In New England
was the blue pot, par excellence the
dye pot, that stood in the chimney
corner OF every kitchen In that region.
So Webster was fitted out In indigo
blue from collar to ankle Before
reaching Hanover there came on one
Of those drenehiug rains that wet q
man to the skin The suit held its own.
but it parted with enough dye to tinge
Daniel blue from head to foot.
Webster had a liberal stratum Of
sentiment In his mental makeup. and
for some reason the color Of his young
manhood remained bis favorite wear
through life. He wore be coats TO his
dying day. II any one ever saw him
in one Of different color the fact has
not been made of record Exchange.

one of a family of eight children.
The only one still living is Mrs

For many years Miss Leighton had

and it has been richly repaid to her
during years of growing feebleness
by all of a daughters loyal service.
Through her years of health she

she is lovingly remembered by many
friends for her thoughtful sympathy,
and ready helpfulness.

money for hats and gloves and Adoi

and beauty and joy. If you can't

The EVERGLADES.

The region known rs the Everglades
of Florida is about sixty miles long by
some fifty five miles broad and is one
vast swamp. studded with islands of
from a quarter of an acre to hundreds
of acres in extent These islands are
generally covered with dense thickets
of shrubbery or vines and OCCASION
ally with lofty pines and palmettos.
The water is from one to six feet deep,
the bottom, as n rule, covered with a
growth of rank grass. During the
rainy season. from July to October, the
district comprised in the Everglades Is
practically impenetrable. The yege
table deposit of the Everglades is con
sidered well adapted to the growth Of
the banana and other fruits, and when
properly drained the region will I'M
doubtedly be one of the most fertile on
earth.-New York American.

The Worst Yet to Come in Names
Fight of Moth Pest.

The report of the chief of the
bureau of entomology in the Agricul-
tural Department forecasts that the
worst is not yet in Names fight
against the moth pest. He finds.
through a force of men employed
nearly a year in scouting and creosot
ing egg clusters, that the infested area
while increasing but slightly in other
states, has about doubled in Maine.
The bureau work has been confined
almost exclusively to the gypsy moth
Conditions in general do not seem to
be any worse than in preceding years
and in great many instances are
very much improved. The gypsy moth
has been found in 30 additional Maine
towns, about doubling the infested
area. In only two or three of these
towns, however, have we'll developed
colonies been located. In the great
majority of instances, single egg clus-
ters we're found. Until the winter
and spring of 1911 there were not
known to be gypsy moths east of
Portland, but the scouts have located
them continuously for about 40 miles
east of that city. The brown-tail
moth has not occurred as yet north
of the 45th parallel of latitude in
Maine The brown-tail moth has be
come disseminated more widely
having extended it's ravages consid
erably westward and slightly north
ward for the reason that the brown
tail moths of both sexes are rapid
fiers and general control of the
spread is beyond the influence of man.

A tuberculosis hospital for the hous-
ing of patients in the advanced stages
of the disease is probability in the
near future at Portland. 1t is declared
by the leaders in the movement that,
as no city can spend its money to
better advantage than safeguarding
the lives and health of its people, a
sanitarum would do more than al
most any other conceivable thing to
attain this desired end. The site is
named as a lot near the city home,
about the right distance from other
buildings and near enough to the city
so that patients might not feel too
far from their friends. The Portland
Telegram says Of the move. The
conservation of the health OF its peo-
pie is one of the greatest responsible
lities of a state. In the matter of
dealing with tuberculosis Maine trails
behind several of the other states
BY this it is not intended to convey
the impression that nothing is being
done here in fighting the White
Plague but the need of greater effort
is apparent To prevent the disease is
of more importance than curing it,.
Since it has been decided by eminent
physicians that tuberculosis is con
tagious, communities all over the
country are establishing hospitals fo'
the isolation and care of advanced
cases. There is need of such an in
stitution here and its establishment
would be of inestimable aid in fight
ing the plague. The tuberculosis
classes are doing a good work by
their open air treatment and teachin6
the people how to care for themselves
and splendid results are noticeable.
But what is required is a place for
the segregation of advanced cases so
as to prevent the spread of the
disease.

CAlOMEL MUST
HURT YOUR LIVER
Every Time You Take This Powerful
Drug You Are in Danger. Take
Dodson's Liver Tone Instead.

Calomel is made from mercury,
and while mercury has many uses,
it is a dangerous thing to swallow.
If calomel stays in the system very
long it salivates. Even when it
works naturally, its after-effects are
often bad.
The Century Drug Store has liver
medicine called Dodson's Liver Tone
which is positively guaranteed to
take the place of calomel. 1t slim
ulates the liver just enough to start
it working, and does not make you
sicker than ever-as calomel often
does. Dodson's Liver Tone won't
force you to stop eating or working
after taking it. 1t is as beneficial
for children as for adults.
Try a bottle today under the Cen
fury Drug Stores guarantee. You
know this store is reliable.
