which could only be true if they were not

distribution of seeds. But under the
system which formerly prevailed we be-
lieve they were benefited rather than
injured. The new varieties bought by
the government in foreign countries
at large expense if found valuable were
soon called for from the seedsmen and
supplied by them. As to the conditions
today we cannot testify from personal
knowledge, but we are sure that the free
distribution of seeds by the government
as originally planned and carried out was
q worthy undertaking.

Hon. William H. Taft gave his views
on the Mexican que stion in an address at
the Free Synagogue's celebration OF
Peace Sunday in New York. While he
expressed little hope that the pending
mediation conference would accomplish
its immediate purpose, he declared that
the offer of mediation and our accept
ance was an important step toward the
future settlement of international diff
eulties in the western hemisphere. He
said that the people were determined to
do their duty even should that duty in
volve war But for war, he added, the
people have at present little enthusiasm.
The criticism which Mr.. Taft levelled at
the Wilson administration had to do with
the aid which he said the administration
had given to the Mexican Constitution
alists. He declared that 100000 men
and two or three years time and an ex-
penditure of $1,000, 900 day would be
required for the subjugaton of Mexico,
should the present complications produce
war. In conclusion he called upon all
Americans to aid the President in his eff
forts to find peace.
But even if war of subjugation is
avoided the country is now paying dear
ly for having one-man National gov
ernment, the representatives of the peo-
ME in CONGRESS- having no voice on the
questions of the day.

loss OF APPETITE
Most Successfully Treated by Taking
Hoods SarsapariIIa.

Loss Of appetite is accompanied
by loss of vitality, which is serious.
It is common in the spring be-
cause at this time the blood is I'M
pure and impoverished and fails to
give the digestive organs what is
absolutely necessary for the proper
performance of their functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reli-
able all-the-year-round medicine, is
especially useful in the spring. Get
it from your druggist. By purify
ing and enriching the blood and Civ
ing vitality, vigor and tone, it is
wonderfully successful in the treat
ment of loss of appetite and the
other ailments that are SO prevalent
at this time. 1t is not simply a
spring medicine-it is much more
than that-but it is the best spring
medicine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the
rich red blood that the stomach and
other digestive organs need. Get
it TODAY.

Commenting on an item in an exchange
concerning the free distribution of gar
den seed from Washington the Bidde-
ford Journal says:
So far as appears in the pages of his
tory, or in the shadowy archives of trad;-
ton. it cannot be said for a certainty
why the practice was begun in the first
place. but, of course, it had beginning
and it has endured through evil report as
well as good, as all previous attempts to
put stop to it have failed.
We think we can answer the question
as to why this practice was begun, hav-
ing for many years been a privileged
visitor to the Agricultural department,
not so much in the capacity of news
gatherer as from a personal interest in
it's work. The object then was to Sc
cure new and improved varieties of seeds,
and those to whom they were sent were
requested to report upon them. The
writer received and reported upon various
seeds from the department which later
found their way into the catalogues Of
the seedsmen. We recall now the Little
Gem pea-at the time the best early
dwarf variety-and for which the de-
partment paid $50 per bushel. The
Beauty of Hebron potato, introduced
about the same time, was an improve
ment on the Early Rose. We believe
that this distribution of seed, by the in
PRODUCTION of improved varieties, with
larger yields, was of greater benefit to
the country at large than its cost. Even
then it had it's enemies and such items az
this appeared in the newspapers: "Mr.
Soandso planted pansy seed and turnips
came up" Now the flower seeds were
handled by the daughter of an English
scotsman, then a middle aged woman,
who had been in the business from early

that he should organize the Woodrow

against the Democrats who did not vote
for him in the spring election and against
those who might be candidates for coun-.
