"FRUIT.A.TIVES"? !?
The Simple Juices Of Apples, Oranges, Figs and Prunes Transformed Into A Medicine Which Relieves All Diseases Of Stomach, Liver, Kidneys and Skin.

The value of fruit uices in preventing and relieving disease, has been recognized for centuries. es ~ The objections using fresh fruit for disease are the high cost of fruit particularly in winter 2nd, the difficulty of eating enough fruit to do any permanent good. Some years ago. however, prominent English physician in Ottawa Canada began series of experiments in effort to find practical and economical way to utilize the valuable medicinal properties of fruit.

 No government, by simple edict, can abolish hunger or compel plenty in a famine year. But, in our case, there is no famine-year in .-olved nor is, there any lack of provender to satisfy the continental hunger of our. hundred millions. But our various govern ments. which can take time to ordain on which side of the road we may drive, and how long a trout we may take, and what we must do with burned matches--these same govern ments can't find time or will or capac- ity to straighten out the tangle of greed and rapacity and seIhshness and extortion in which the entire sys- tenn of food supply to the nation is enmeshedi
 Of course, We, The People, who elect such governments over and over again, are, in these United States at least, intimately responsible for what they do or don't do
 It's responsibility which too many of us take lightly, and far too many take recklessly or ignorantly. But. as a rule. we elect representa- ttves. legislators, o1ngressmen, gov ernors, presidents, because we believe or hope that they are capable of taking up their duties, not lightly nor recklessly nor ignorantly, but sobe-ly and judiciously and Tighteousiy. As a rule. we expect them, we having set them apart for that purpose, to take daily and nightly care that the state which is Us,-comes to no harm. And therefore, though as I have said the ultimate responsibility falls on us who elect them, their own responsi- bility is more immediate, and direct. And their failure Is less excusable be- cause 1t is a dere;iction of duty which they have willingly undertaken,-have indeed usually asked to be intrusted with.

It is almost three hundred years man, Oxenstiern. wrote hls famous aphorism: Don't forget, my son with how little wisdom the world is gov erned."
 Things haven't changed much in that respect in three centuries. We have invented railroads ard steam boats and telegraphs and telephones and dynamite and ice cream since then,-but we haven't invented such a thing as a wise government: we have developed much In science,-but we haven't developed real science of government: we have seen new races come to the mastery.-but we haven't seen one yet capable of ruling with absolute justice and righteousness: we have tried a great many forms of gov- ernment,-but not one which, in the final test is for the people, whether it be "of" them and 'Tby' them or not.
 Q The one thing which comes closest to the interests of every human being is his life and his means of living. It Is the one thing which an adequate government would safeguard first of all, before taking thought of such sec ondary matters as taxes OF tariffs or corporations or foreign relations. Yet it is the one thing which all govern ments ignore: which practically all statesmen, so-called, are pitifully ig- nbrant of: the one thing they can't act wisely upon nor even talk intelii- gently about.
