TIE REAL REASON.

The debate in the house over the
matter of seed distribution was on
the proposal that the seeds should be
distributed by the department of aerl-
culture instead of being sent under
frank by members as OF old. And
in the debate it developed that the
real reason for retaining the seed dis.
trlhutton practice MAS not that the
farmers of the country might receive
seeds. but that they might know that
their congressman was sending them.
That is the important thing.
Every package OF seeds sent GU,
carries on the wrapper a facsimile of
the signature Of the congressman from
that district. The farmer to whom,
the seeds arc sent therefore not only
receives 4 handful OF seeds Of more Or
less value. but receives also the as
surance that his member Of congress
is on the job. looking out for bis In.
tcrests. and seeing that nothing to
which the voter is entitled is settins
away. And tho members of
do not propose that any department;
Of agriculture shall deprive the farmer
Of that blessed assurance. What be
comes OF the seeds is immateria1.
However, let every patriot make APP
plication for some seeds. He ia on.
Titled to them.

PAIN THE GREAT PROTECTOR.

New York Times: Medical and 9TH
cr correspondents Of The London
Times have been discussing expert
enres with and observations of pain,
especially III its relation TO death. and
'her" seems to he a general agree
meni that apprehension of suffering
as life closes is greatly exaggerated IL
not altogether needless. Some of
these writer's have gone So far AS to
say that death is always painless, but
this ann literally he true, except
perhaps. rs u the very last moments
Of existence. for there are cases in
which pain ceases only with uncon-
seriousness. These. however. arcord-
ing ia all authorities. are extremely
rarc. and most of the apparent OK
ccr,ions arc not such in reality.
Md much as We hate pain and
hard as we try TO avoid It. there has
becn wide recognition Of it's bcneh-
ccnce as y warming and as an aid in
diagnosis. 1t is the signal that some
thing is going wrong with us, more
or loss seriously. and, without that
signal timely realization. that rem
edial or protective measures are necd-
ed would he for the most part i'm
possible.
one of The Times's correspondents,
a doctor With telcolosic ideas some
what fashioned, writes that. where
pain would be Of no use or saving pur-
pose, there is no pain, and he in
stances cases of extensive and ncces-
sarily fatal injuries, the victims of
which did not suffer at all. His de-
srriptions are doubtless correct. but
his assumption that the pain is ab-
on a view Of design" which scien-
lists. as such. have never held and
most theoloEians have now abar-
doned.
Another of these correspondents,
telling of a time when he was brought
TO the very edge Of the grave by an
attack Of Asiatic cholera. says that in
what he fully believed to be his last
moments. not only was he free from
pain, which had previously hecu ason-
izing, but he was equally free from
both fear and regret. "T never once
Thought" he adds, "ot my mother, o,
my home, or my friends. or any al
the things which people are supposed
to think Of upon their deathbed. As
I lapscd into Observation-Disclosures,
felt as though / was entering a vague
and happy peace. where all was darl;
but not in tho least terrifying"
This man believes that he had al
the sensations there are TO dying. hi;
as he recovered this is only a prob,
ability. high indeed. vet appreciate,
removed from certainty.

DANCES CURED INDIGESTION,

About three years ago / began to
suffer severely with Indigestion. MY
physician warned me of the danger
of the frequent acute attacks. I diet
ed and followed all Instructions; tile
only result was that l was a. nuisance
to myself and friends and retained tile
ailment.
About Christmas time in 1913 | de-
.cided to abandon doctors, &c. and
began to learn the new dances. With.
in two weeks practically all symptoms
Of indigestion left me. When the ev-
eninE's dance was over J. would eat
a sandwich and retire to a sound,
drealnless sleep. At the present
writing l cal eat anything. even the
