One Who Never Has a HOLIDAY,

When everyone is getting ready to
take a summer outing which shall be
free from cares and bothers, or at
any rate from the bothers they are
accustomed to, We must all behold
with dismay the prospect of the moth
er of a family who, when she sets out,
takes all her cares with her and gen.
orally collects few extra ones by the
very fact Of going away.
Recently a young mother, having her
children and nurses with her, arrived
on salubrious mountain peak, only
to succumb entirely and lie on a sofa
for fortnight.
And even this unfortunate lady
was spared the bother of keeping
house, which is the fate of all those
who hire other peoples country
houses or who go into expensive apart
ments by the sea. 1t is safe to say
that no man would set out on a holi
day with the prospect in store of do
ing precisely the same kind of work
which he had to do in all the othel
months. Mothers, indeed, should be
carefully placed in comfortable inns
or on board ship, or on inaccessible
islands, there to recover at leisure
from the anXieties of the rest of the
year.

Medicine Dropper.

Medicine so strong that a dose must
be limited to seven drops had been
prescribed for the man with unsteady
hands. His family also had shaky
hands, and as there was no medicine
dropper in the house it looked as II

night trip to the drug store. But a

To Comfort and Relieve.

"Yes," said Mrs. McKabe, in telling
had just recovered, Dan was awful
bad! Me and him both thought he
was going to die. He was just scared
stiff! After the doctor had been and
went the first time he says to me,
Mamie he says, what does the doc
tor think about my case?' and of
course the most comfort l could give
him was to tell him the doctor said
he had typhoid fever, and that he was
a very, very sick man. I never want
to see him suffer like he done for ten
days after that. The only relief he
got was when the doctor give him epi.

FINAL DECISION.

The following item has been fur
nished us for publication:
The full bench Of the Massachu1
sets Supreme Court decides that the
will OF Rev Mary Baker Eddy has
created a valid public trust which
can be administered by trustee APP
pointed by the court The decision
also declares that the heirs cannot
inherit Mrs. Eddy's property.
The court holds that the Massa-
chusetts statute limiting the amount
OF bequest to a religious body APP
plies in the present instance as
against the administration OF this
trust by the Directors OF the Christ
ian Science church. but that valid
trust having been created it can be
administered in accordance with Mrs.
Eddy's wishes by another trustee.
This finding affects only the por-
ton of Mrs. Eddy's estate in Massa-
chusetts, consisting OF two properties
estimated at S155,OOO in value. The
most OF Mrs Eddy's estate is in New
Hampshire and the Supreme Court
of that state last spring decided that
the trust created by Mrs. Eddy, by
which her fortune was to be used
Tor the purpose OF more effectually
promoting and extending the religion
Of Christian Science as taught by me"
was valid

POLITICS AND THE GRANGE
Order Seeks to Have Every Member
Take Intelligent Interest in Pub
lie Affairs.

The position the Grange takes IN
politics was well set forth in an ad-
dress at the Lily Dale On. W Chau-
tauqua by w. n. Giles, secretary of the
New York State Grange, who said,
among other things
"One of the distinct individual re-
sponsibilities of our members Is
legitimate and proper participation in
politics, fol- many of the evils of the
present situation are directly charge
able to individual negligence. The
Grange has undertaken to place on
every hillside a spring of patriotism
and interest In public affairs-not par
tisan politics-which should result In
more general interest and participar
ton in public affairs, and which would
make of every man and every woman
a politician in the true sense of that
word. The thing the Grange stands
for most today is comprehensive un-
derstanding of political conditions. 4
comprehensive study of conditions
and then, instead of going home and
saying amen about them, going home
and acting on our study and under.
standing. The only way the Grange
can get its position understood and its
interest cared for in these public mat.
tiers is by not allowing a few to repre-.
sent it, but by the individual effort q
every member.
