Parents, Read this Letter!

have letter from prominent Maine
clergyman in regard to a sickness of one of
his children from which quote as follows:
"Our two-year-old baby was very sick
ii two ,.,fferent times and we came near
losing her. We had the best doctors,
but they did not know what the trouble
was. In the first sickness she had high fever
for several days, and the doctor said it acted
like scarlet fever, but as there were no other
cases he did not think it could be. After
wards she broke out in rash all over her
body. The last sickness was similar and
the doctor was puzzled. She was very
nervous and we feared we would lose her.
Your DIR. Truc's Elixir was recommended,
and after two days use she passed several
worms from two to three inches in length,
and is now we'll and strong and sleeps at
nights withoutfretting, tossing and starting
in 4 fright as she did formerly"
will be glad to furnish this clergy
mans name and address to anyone who
cares to write to me.
N.B.-True's Elixir is the best known
remedy for all stomach and bowel troubles.
Purely vegetable, pleasant to take and
entirely harmless. Expels stomach worms

the purest white soap to make light

fading or injury whatever; but when the
color runs or blurs in the ground ma

make the washing safe. A tablespoon

bright colors, and, in any case, tends to
brighten and clear the color, with no

Public Opinions Force

Public optaion Is the most powerful
factor In modern life. That il what
gives value to SO many Investigations.
In many things Investigated legisla-
ton would be useless and law en-
forcement after the legislation was
created would be farce. But the
public opinion stirred by the investi-
cation brings remedies or betterments
even while the questions are still be-
ing asked and answered-or lodged.
That Is beginning TO be shown In
the woman's wage-vice-economic-
ditions-slum-living probe going on at
Chicago. In that instance public opin-
ION and the dissemination of knowl-
edge IL already beginning To do what
It IL very doubtful II laws could ever
do That, too, despite the to-prove-a-
theory methods of the investigation.
II Is reported from Chicago that so
far the result OF the investigation has
been a general exodus of country girls
from the city back to the rarm homes,
their parents having been reading the
papers and sending for their daugh-
tiers.
The second effect Is that child labor

cases working conditions bettered.
Employers are not anxious to face
adverse public opinion.
The third effect is the decrease 'os
well-to-do girls In the working neId.
Many girls do not need to work but
do so because they want the spend
ing money or because they do not
like to stay at home and help motner.
Attention has been strongly attracted
to the effect their selfish action has
on the needy workers.
These are all worthy results. They
hit the greatest weakening factors IN

ditions The removal Of those ele-
ments may not settle the vice question

When JOve Threatens

tons, convince their reason--and they
will be loyal from the only principle
that can make loyalty sincere. vigor-
Gus or rational-a conviction that It
is to their truest interest. and that
their government Is for their good.
Constraint Is the natural parent Of re-
sistance. and pregnant proof that
reason Is not on the side Of those who
use 1t. You must all remember Lu-
clans pleasant story; Jupiter and q
countryman were walking together,
conversing with great freedom ana
familiarity upon the subject OF heaven
and earth. The countryman listened
with attention and acQuiescence, while
Jupiter strove only to convince him:
but happening to hint doubt, Jupiter
turned hastily around and threatened
him with his thunder.

How Synge Gets His Material

No mere man Of letters ever knew
the life Of the Irish peasant better
than Synge. Books about Irish life
do not appear to have interested him.
He went to the people themselves for
his Information. Wandering about
the country with his fiddle, he en-
countered some strange companions
farmers, thinkers, beggars, ballad
singers motley crowd. He observ-
ed them closely. their mode of life,
their manner of speech, and what he
saw he reported faithfully. Unlike
the majority Of writer's on Ireland, he
is entirely free from mawktshness or
sentimentality. There IL no Celtic
glamour in these pages. The aged
peasant In his whitewashed cabin,
who bewails the conquest on an
alien tongue, may possibly exist, but

What Makes Meat Dear

II will be q surprise to many to
know that our imports of cattle now
exceed exports. In 1904 we imported
but $4,000 cattle. valued at $4,000.
In 1912 imports had grown to over
$780, 900 cattle with . value or over
IS .000, 900. Exports Of meat, particu.
larly OF fresh beef, have fallen on
even more than exports Of cattle.
LAST year there were sent out OF the
country only 5000, 900 pounds OF fresh
beef a. against 354.000.000 pounds IN
1901. The total value Of meat and
dairy products exported last year. ap-
proximated $145,000,000 as against
SOS, 900, 900 In 1895.
