The "change of life" is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. AT this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of sutfocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.

THE FARMERS PART

AS the year hastens to close, as
the farmer winds up the operations
of II months, reviewing its tolls, its
cares, its uncertainties and its re-
suits, there comes too often feel
ing of disappointment.
Part of this is due to somewhat ex-
travagant anticipations. In the
spring man energies abound, his
hopes are bright, his confidence is
great, and he oyerestimates the prob
able results of the years operations
Nevertheless, the farmer has a
right to rewards which he has not
yet secured. 1t can not be that for
a longer time the rewards of labor
on the farm shall fall beneath the
line that draws men to the farm
with the promise of adequate returns
for the labor expended.
We hear much about the drift tC
the cities. The reason is plain, thai
in the city men secure, or think they
secure greater comfort, pleasure
satisfaction in life, greater oppor'
tunities for advancement. greater
chances for their children than they
can secure on the farm.
Much of this anticipation OF re
wards in the city is misleading, anc
much of it is exaggerated. and the
disappointments are seen there as
well as among the farmers them
selves.
Nevertheless, the fact is that life
in town does offer inducements thai
are drawing people away from Tho
farm, and at the bottom the induc"
ment is that for like labor the citl
holds larger rewards.
But every man is not fitted fol
city life, as every man is not fittet
for farm life. The man who farms
because he loves his labor is the maj
upon whom the future of farming
rests. This is the man that mus
change the conditions of these labors
must make labor itself more pro
ductive; then, by the adoption Of bet
ter business methods. secure a large

WOULD SAVE MONEY

A few weeks ago The Herald sug-
gested that the election laws Of this
state be changed so as to provide for
the appointment Of a board of
Judges and clerks in each precinct to
count the ballots as fast as they were
cast on election day, SO that the
result could be announced a few
minutes after the polls are closed.
This suggestion has been quite fla
vorably received by the press of the
state.
The need of some such plan is
emphasized by the large number of
new precincts which are being Gre
ated all over the state In nearly all
the cities and towns it has been
found necessary to nearly double the
present number of precincts because
the work of counting the ballots
after the polls had closed required
so much time that the endurance OF
the board of judges. inspectors and
clerks was taxed to the limit. Every
new precinct requires an additional
election board, which adds to the
expense of the election. Now If
separate boards, composed of two
| judges and two clerks, were appoint
ed to begin the counting as soon as
I25 ballots had been cast, the tally
could be accurately kept and prom pit
| ly announced and it would not be
necessary for the election officers to
work continuously two full days and
one night, or even longer This plan
| would also permit a reduction in the
present number of precincts, because
more votes could be handled, and
thereby reduce the cost of elections.
The arguments in favor of the
plan can be summarized as follows:
1t would insure a more accurate
count than is possible under the
present system, which requires the
tally to be made by clerks who have
been working continuously for from
| l2 to SO hours.
1t would permit the results to be
announced within a short time after
the polls had closed.
1t would permit a reduction in the
number of precincts by increasing
the number of votes which could be
handled in each precinct.
While it would increase the mum
Der of election officials, they could
all finish their work in one day, and
would not have to be paid for two oil
three days work, as often happens
under the present system.

share of what the consumer pays for
farm products. When this IL done,
the drift cityward will be checked
and men will begin moving back to
the farm.
There are, in farm life, many adj
vantages, many pleasures, many de-
lights, which can not be secured from
a like income in the great cities.
Farmers are apt TO look too much on
the bright side of city life, because
they know little of its shadows, its
sorrows, Its follies, its falsehoods and
disappointments; because they know
little of the privations from which
men suffer in an effort to secure
competence in the factories. shops.
stores, politics, banks and railroad
service. The farmer has, unasked,
many things the city man seeks for
in vain.
Give fools their gold and knaves
their power;
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fail;
Who sows field or trains a flower,
Or plants tree. is more than all. 3"
If one can put this spirit OF the
Quaker poet into his daily toll. it will
have new value and breed a new
spirit of content
There is still another feature to
be considered-tha of service. Few
men like to go through the world
leaving the world no better than
when they entered it, having done
no good deed, having helped no dis
eouraged brother, having soothed the
sorrows of no woman or child. The
farmer has a right, therefore, to CON
slider his labor as one of service to
mankind; that though the rewards
directed to him are not all he hoped
for, still there is satisfaction in the
belief that in raising these crops for
food and clothing, he is serving man
kind.
For he who blesses most is blest;
And God and man shall own his
worth
Who tolls to leave as his bequest
An added beauty to the earth.
And, soon or late, to all that SOW,
The time of harvest shall be given;
The flower shall bloom, the fruit
shall grow,
If not on earth, at least in heaven.
This is the faith which brings re-
wards, unseen and unmeasured in
the markets; rewards for all good
works, for all work done with
strong hand and sound heart
Home and Farm.

UNAPPRECIATED FRIENDS

Birds are perhaps the most unap-
preciated friends of the human race.
People seldom stop to think of the
pleasure and useful service which the
birds contribute to the common good,
but seldom fail to notice when the
feathered visitors help themselves to
few cherries or little grain. They
do not stop to think of what the
birds give in return for the little
they steal Birds are the policemen
supplied by nature to guard the pro-
ducts of the orchard and farm
against the depredations of injurious
pests. They are just as essential as
are the policemen employed to pro-
tect life and property and curb Grim
inal activities in the larger cities.
And yet the slaughter of birds has
been tolerated to such an extent that
unless prompt action is taken there
is danger that some of the most use
full species will become extinct Men
who have made study of this sub
ject appreciate the necessity for
prompt action, and several bills for
the protection of MISUNDERSTANDING
birds have been prepared and will
come up for action at the present
session of congress. OF these meas
ures DR.. w. T. Hornaday, the famous
naturalist, thinks the Mclean bill is
the best In a recent letter he says:
Unless the people of America
wish to shut their eyes to their own
interests and pay out millions of dol
creased cost of living, they should
arouse from their lethargy and put
up to congress such a demand for the
passage of the Mclean bill that it
will be enacted into law at the pres
ent session of congress. 1t is Senate
Bill No. 6497, and on the senate cal
endar 1t Is No. 6O6. We can not af-
ford to wait until 1914 or 1915, and
congress has full power to act this
winter.
How many people in the North
know that the negroes and poor
whites of the South annually
slaughter millions of valuable insect
eating birds for food? Around
Avery Island, La, during the robin
season lin January when the berries
are ripe), Mr.. f. A. McIlhenny says
that during l 0 days or two weeks at
least 10000 robins are each day
slaughtered for the pot. Every ne
gro man and boy who can raise
gun is after them!'
There are seven states in which
the robin Is regularly and legally be-
ing killed as game! They are Lou
isiana, Mississippi, Maryland, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and
Florida.
There are five states that ex-
pressly permit the killing of black
birds as game: Louisiana, South
Carolina, Tennessee, District of Co
lumbia, Pennsylvania.
Cranes are killed and eaten in
Colorado, Nevada, Nebraska. North
Dakota and Oklahoma.
"In 26 states, doves are regularly
killed as game-much to the loss OF
the farmers.

and Companion Have Ex-
citing Time in Mexico

r. c. Ruettell of Crookston, a
brother Of j. H. Ruettell of this city,
and Will Stone of C%rookston, are fully
persuaded that a revolt is in progress
in Mexico. for they were given a ten
mile lockstep hike last week int Tam
pico. ahead of a detachment of MeXi-
cans who look them for spies, and are
thanking their lucky stars that they
managed to persuade their captors to
take them back to Tampico. where
they had friends, rather than heading
them towards the interior for camp,
where they might have been detained
for months. .
They were members of a party Of
Crookston. Grand Forks and Minne-
apolis men who went south to inspect
some land neal Tampico. Despite tho
advice of their friends. they insisted
upon a wild turkey and partridge
hunt. MeXicans leapcd from ambush
and covered them with their rifles and
took the guns from. the captivcs.
Teuttell and Stone tried to argue. and
then begged. and finally succeeded in
enlisting the sympathy Of n of the
MeNicans who could understand some
English and persuaded the detach-
ment to allow them to go back to their
rig. However, they were not allow
ed to ride, but were marched ahead Of
the team while five of the MeXicans
rode into Tampico. where they arrived
just after dark. completely tagged out.
They We're then detained for sever
al hours before they could commune
cate with their friends who scurried
around and got some influential Off
Gals to secure their release. In Il
letter received today they are quoted
as voWing vengeance on someone.
