A Mild or Severe WinterP Proph-
estes of Mother Shipton.

1t is very often that the above query
either comes into the mind or is openly
expressed. For years and years many
signs and tokens have been noticed
which seem to foretell what kind Of
weather the winter will bring forth.
OF course there are really no definite
signs beyond the Weather Bureau Serv
ice, yet people inherently cling to the
stories of their youth, and the things
they see published in the papers.
Most of US have heard of the Goose
Bone Prophesies, the Ground Hog
stories, and others of like ilk which an
nually come forth as weird and uncanny
tales Of the forthcoming wintertime.
A party sent us a clipping from
newspaper containing the prophesies of
Mother Shipton, which were first pub
lished in 1911. Mother Shipton was
an English woman, and lived in the
time of Henry VIII. She was regard
ed as prophecies of no mean value, al
though the statements concerning her
personal history are conflicting and of
slight value. 1t is probable she is a
purely fictitious person, whose name was
made the vehicle of many supposed
prophesies.
Published 1911.
Carriages without horses shall 90,
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the earth thoughts shall fly
In the twiukling Of an eye
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at the root of tree.
Through hills men shall ride
And no horse be at their side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk
In air men shall be seen
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
As easily as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and shown
In a land that is not known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England at last, shall admit Jew.
The world to an end shall.come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
Many will remember the CONSERVATION
among many of the superstitious. who
really believed the end of tn world would
come in 1881.

CUMBERLAND, Mn.
Nov. y, 1914.

HeSSyS Editors:
Much power to your arm on the four
year proposition. The reason the two
year term was adopted was that the
fathers looking backward feared the
President might try to be King, and
that two years was long enough to risk
that chance without an opportunity of
stopping it BY an appeal to the people
through new House that could block
such monarehial plans
There is no sense in the two year
plan. In every country where parlia
mentary government has been worked
out under circumstances of constitutional
freedom the premier he equals the
President in function here) goes in with
the House and goes out with the House,
so there is not moment in the legisla-
tive life Of England when the nation 5
will cannot be written into law in the
House. The most that can be accom-
plished by the by or off-year election is
to lock the legislative machine, some
thing that special privilege always de-
sires
That four years is about the right
period would seem to be indicated in the
experience of Great Britain. In look
ing this subject over about year and a
half ago | found that the British elec
tions averaged about four years between
during the Victorian era; this, although
the Commons is technically elected for
seven years when the Premier { (Presi-
dent) and the House of Commons fail to
agree new election Can appeal to the
country results; and these occur about
every four years.

Health.

g. Here are some very valuable facts for all
who have any blood trouble with external
Sores
Do not cover any sore so as to inter-
fere with perspiration and the formation
of protective scabs. Keep it clean and
bandaged. If it is a stubborn case, flush
your blood with S. S. S. This famous
blood purifier works wonders. And you
can easily give your blood a good, thorough
cleansing by using S. S. S. There is no
need for anyone to be respondent over the
illness of blood impurities. No matter
how badly they attack the system or how
msightly becomes the skin, just remember
there is one ingredient in s. S. S. that so
stimulates the cellular tissues throughout
the body that each selects it's own essential
nutriment from the blood.
Do not fail to get a bottle of S. s. S.
To-day. If your abscess is of such nature
that you would like to consult a specialist,
write to the medical department, The Swift
Specific Co., pa Swift Laboratory. Atlanta,
Ga.
Beware of any attempt to sell you some
S1hing else for the blood. Many people
have been imposed upon by having some
mineral mixture palmed off on them. ASK
for S. S. S. and insist that S. S. S. is
what you propose to get.
