NaturnIs Defenses.

Human beings are not the only life
that makes provisions against the ant
trouble. These active foragers would
invest some plants and carry away all
pollen, nectar, etc, without perform
ing any service to the plant. So ma
ture has in many cases protected the
parts with q sticky substance so that
creeping insects cannot approach,
while bees and other winged insects
may safely alight on the parts above
and cross-fertilize or pollenate the
flowers.

dose seemed to do its blessed work
and can | say more than Just to tell
you to see him now strong an& well
and he is happy to be well and we
are happy to have him with us instead
of losing him.
I'VE don't feel that we can ever say
enough for Sulferro-Sol for we think
it is more than medicine

believe in this great nature remedy in

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA.

The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder has
a record of 95 1-2 per cent. cures of
Hog Cholera. If YOU feed your hogs
as directed, you need never fear hog
cholera nor any other hog disease.
And the directions are very simple.
just about what you are doing, plus
few cents worth of B. A. Thomas
Hog Powder in the feed twice week.
Usually, though, Cholera gets in
before We know it. Then it requires
close attention to each hog-each
hog must be dosed-and if YOU will
dose them as directed, you will save
better than 90 per cent. If you
don't the B. A. Thomas medicine costs
you nothing. We-not some distant
manufacturer-pay your money back.

INVINCIBLE DEMOCRACY.
How the Presidents War Message
Ha> Stirred the World.

President Wilson $ war speech is
to be read in every school, in France.
1t is publicly posted III France and
Italy. Ii was hailed as charter OF
democracy in Britain, which! before
the war was fast becoming a repub-
lie in all but name. Supplenentlng the
revolution and followed by our own
declaration of irreconcIlisble Rus
sia, a sister nation in the creed that
the world must be made safe for
democracy" The anxious small pow
ers now see in it safety from greedy
neighbors.
Such ferment Of thought as makes
these times worth living in, despite
the shock of battle and rapine, could
not leave Germany unmoved. The
speech, garbled at first, has now been
printed there, as they say, in full.
What effect it is expected to have is
shown by the futile rage with which
the obedient press receives it and the
epithets with which they pelt its au-
thor.
America was not forgitten If the
emperor really bade the chancellor
prepare plans for liberalizing the
Prussian electoral system, including
the upper chamber of the reactionary
diet. But the inevitable reforms are
to be deferred until 1.-The home COM
ing warriors" can Join in the coun-
sci and the voting on the progress
of the new order"
Delay until the war ends may
prove impractica bic. German Lib
erals know how reforms promised in
1S4S were snatched away. Longing
for peace, the most powerful motive,
spreads the new ideas. The United
States has no quarrel with the Ger
man people. New Russia borrows
our phrases to hold out the olive
branch to German democracy on the
basis of racial freedom. Soldiers in
the trenches put the case tersely in
big sogns (for the enemy to read:
Get Rid of Your kaiser!'
The kaiser has no idea that Ger
many can dispense with him. His
champions propose a "Volkskonig-
tum" or popular monarchy, not veg
defined. Nothing hastens action like
events. Democracy is swiftly be-
coming invincible. Germany, at
heart, must be facing the fact.-New
York World.
