A little help goes a long ways.

LttIe heIp gees long ways.
If you would keep your body in
healthy and robust condition, throb-
bling with what splendid vitality that
indicates freedom from all ailments,
first Of all see that your blood is
kept pure. Any slight impurity that
creeps into your blood will soon effect
the Well-being of your whole system.
A few bottles of S. S. S. will give
just the assistance that nature needs
IN keeping the blood absolutely free

Letters from the People.

These clear-headed big men saw
that if their country was to support
it's people and build up as a great
power that the great trinity Of agri-
culture, manufactures, and commerce
must be cared for with equal pru-
dence and solicitude. More than that
if any preference was to be shown
it must be to agriculture which was
the most vitality important of the
three.
The banking capital Of the country
was made the useful servant Of the
three big interests. The farmer got
his capital On short or long time as
he needed it at 4 per cent, which
was as low a rate as anybody leso
got.
What happened? In those forty
years Germany grew to be the sec
ond commercial and manufacturing
country OF the world, and her farmers
prospered beyond those Of any other
country. Emigration decreased until
it almost ceased entirely. And. now
for nearly three years with it's great
foreign commerce destroyed, with its
factories converted to war uses, the
German farmer has been able to pro-
duce enough to keep seventy millions
Of people at fighting strength.
Properly looked after in normal
peace times the farmer of Germany
has shown the logical result in times
Of stress, and is paying back an
hundred fold all that has ever been
done for him.
Let us look forward little. Those
who survive the present troublous
times may see the people who are
frantically appealing to the farmer in
this spring Of 1917, and making him
big promises, promptly forget all
about him.
For:
when the devil was sick, the devil
a saint would be,
But when the devil was we'll, the
devil a saint was he"
Then will come the crucial time
for the farmer 1t will be Cup to
him." If he has profited by the les
sons Of this day, recognizing that he
holds this nation in the hollow of
his hand, he will organize his forces
and compel an adjustment which
will give him a square deal and
equal opportunity. He cannot de-
pend on any bad weather promises,
nor any temporary personal pros
perity. He must shoulder full re-
sponsibility and plan for all the peo-
pie. For past experience has taught
us that other classes will plan only
for themselves, and if the farmer re-
fuses to stand for the doctrine of
square deal for everybody" then
the outlook for the preservation Of
our country and our civilization is
indeed hopeless.
