GRANDMoTHER's BOTANIC MEDI

In every pioneer home the botanic
recipes of our grandmothcrs for the
treatment of disease were wonderfully
dependable. Every fall she gathered
her various herbs; thoroughwort, camo-
mile, sage, pennyroyal, NORWOOD, rue,
etc. 1t is interesting to note that Lydia
Z. Pinkham S Vegetable Compound, the
most successful remedy for female ills
we have was originally prepared for
home use from one of these botanic rec
ipes, and the demand for this famous
medicine has grown until over $50. 600
pounds of roots and herbs are used an
nually in its preparation. 1t will well

Do You Want a Vacation? Read This.

There is a very helpful article about
cheap vacations in the July Woman's
Home Companion. The writer says:
Few western business women realize
what possibilities for enjoyment are con-
tanned in the Wisconsin lake region, or
in the numerous boat trips one may take
along the Great Lakes. Michigan offers
an ideal camping ground for the econom-
zeal tourist. Twenty five or thirty dol
lars is sufficient to cover all the expenses
of a perfect holiday in this part of the
country, if the money is wisely expend-
ed.
1.-TWO Brooklyn school teachers spent
six days of their last vacation in trip
to the Thousand islands and Montreal
which included sail through Lake
Champlain and Lake George. Upon their
return to New York, each found that
she was poorer by just $3.50.
Another young woman, whose year as
a social worker in New York had left
her with nerves on edge, found that she
had but SIS to spend for a trip away |
from the city during the summer. She J
spent it all on short sea trip to Old
Point Comfort"

LEGATIONS:
| First, that in this situation the farm.
er will need protection as to the price
of wheat; and, second, that large masses
of people in the consuming centers are
being actually under nourished to-day
due to the exorbitant cost of living and
that these conditions unless some remedy
be found, are likely to repeat themselves
in even more vicious form at this time
next year; third, the Spectator, legiti-
mate or vicious, has taken a large part
of the money now being paid by the con-
sumner.
81 1t seems to be overlooked in some
quarters that the marketing OF this
years wheat is surrounded with circum-
stances new to history and that the old
distributing safeguards are torn away
by isolation from the reciprocal markets
a broad and the extinction of free ex-
port market and free export transporta-
ton.
The harvest has begun TO move and
from these very causes the price OF wheat
has begun TO drop and if the farmer is
to sell his wheat either the Spectator
must return to the market to buy and
carry on not only the normal flow from
the farmer in excess of domestic and
foreign requirements, but also the glut
due to the restriction upon the outlet to
the latter. He must necessarily charge
his toll to the producer and the consum-
er and this latter probably upon more
extensive scale than last year, as his
risks will be greater.
Practically, the export buyer must fix
his own price for export wheat from the
sole outlook of his own clients and in
execution of his duty he will in all nor
NAL circumstances follow the market
down by buying only his time time
as he cannot be expected
to carry the load of our domestic aecu
mutation.
"Or on the other hand, the govern
ment buy the surplus wheat at some
reasonable minimum price, allowing the
normal domestic trade OF the country to
proceed with proper safeguards against
speculation. Nor would the services of
the Spectator be necessary for the gov |
should be able to stabilize the
price of wheat without his assistance
and can control the price and quantity |
of export wheat. We are practically |
helpless to safeguard either the farmer |
Or the consumer until the pending legis
Iation is passed.

NEUTRAL MEXICO PREFERRED.
United States Believes Best Interests of
Allies Would Thus Be Served.

Washington, ID. c., July ll.-Reporti
that Mexico is about to break with Ger
many led TO the authoritative state
ment yesterday that any such move
would not be based on advice given by
the American government
1t is stated that no suggestion of an
active endorsement of the position OF
the United States has gone to Mexico
City from Washington except the general
note addressed to all neutral govern
ments upon the rupture of relations with
Germany in March. 1t was made clear,
Furthermore, that while the American
government would welcome friendlier
attitude by Mexico, many high officials
believe the best interest of most of the
nations concerned will be served if the
southern republic maintain neutrality in
the world war.
Amba ssador Fletcher, who came here
70 report in detail to Secretary Lansing
on conditions in Mexico, has told the
state department that despite some i'm
provement in Mexican affairs generally,
much remains to cause concern to the
American government. This circumstance
is considered important because break
with Germany would give Mexico an
opportunity to get money and place the
United States under certain obligations.
Those officials who have not been ca
ger to see Mexico join in the war do not
object to seeing General Carranza sup
piled with money, but they believe that
without contributing much real aid to
the allies Mexico would make it hard
for the United States, France, Great
Britain and other nations with griev-
ances against her TO assume stern at
titude after the war,
Mexico's present position has been de-
fined by her foreign office as one OF
strict neutrality" but it is in fact
benevolent neutrality since she is per-
hitting American warships to lie in her
harbors without protest. They have been
there since the days of Huerta, the pa
troll being most constant at Tampico |
because of the big oil interests in and
near that port.
Yesterday was the operative day of
General Carranza's new schedule of ex-
port taxes on crude oil and its deriva-
ives, on which the British fleet largely |
depends for fuel The United States con-
lucted a voluminous correspondence with
he Mexican government after protests
lad been made to the state department
w oil operators, but Mexico's determi-
lation not to repeal the decree resulted
n a suggestion to the oil men by the
department. TO pay the taxes under pro-
est
II is not believed by American officials
hat any serious crippling of the oil in
ustry or supply will result.

Portsmouth, n. H., July ll.-Thomas
Westgate, the 5-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Westgate of New Vaughan
street, was drowned yesterday afternoon
in branch of the Piscataqua river. The
boy, in company with Oliver Frisbee, 7
years old. was seen going down the wharf
of the Littlefield Coal company by Roy
Littlefield of the firm. Some time later
he saw the Frisbee boy returning alone
and asked where the other boy was
Young Frisbee was frightened end told
several conflicting tales before admitting
that Westgate fell into the water.
Mr.. Littlefield telephoned the police,
who searched for the body, recovering it
nearly quarter of mile up the river.

PLAN FAVORED
Continued from first page.)

the fall months apparently average over
10000, 900 to 25,000000 bushels pei
month.
1--WE must, therefore, expect a glut in
our interior terminals during eonsid.
cradle period. The financial resources OF
the grain trade are probably insufficient
to carry this extra load without the help
of SPECTATORS and, moreover, the con-
solidation of practically all foreign buy
ing in the hands of the allied buyer has
further tended to diminish the resources
of capital available by putting a number
of firms out of business and limits the
financial capital available~ in export
trade.
"The net result of this situation is
that unless some strong and efficient
government action is Immediately settled
and brought into play, the American
producer will face slump in wheat,
and in any event, the price OF export
wheat will be dictated by single agen
cy and the American consumer will be
faced with the situation that large
part of the essential breadstuffs has
passed into the hands of spectators;
for someone must buy and hold not only
the normal flow from the farmer but
this probable glut.
"a. With great reduction in the CON
sumption Of wheat bread now fortunate
ly in progress, the employment OF our
mills must be greatly diminished and
with the reduction of domestic -four pro-
duction and our daily feed from wheat
residues will be greatly curtailed. There.
fore we must induce foreign buyers to
accept -four instead of wheat.
"5. In order to do justice to the pro-
ducers who have shown great patriotism
in special effort to increase production
in 1917 and to further stimulate the eff
forts of 1918, it is absolutely vital that
we shall protect the farmer from slump
in price this year due to a glut as above
or from the uncontrolled decision of any
one buyer. | am informed that most of
the allied countries have fixed the price
of wheat to the farmer at $50 per bush
ell and many of their producers believe
that as allies it is our duty to furnish
wheat at price which delivered to them
will not exceed their domestic price, in
other words, about Sl50 per bushel in
Chicago.
Neither their responsible officials nor
] hold this view, because | consider that
the stimulation to production, if no other
reason, is in the long run in the interest !
of the allies. There is, however, a limit |
to price which so trespasses upon the |
rights of the consumer as to defeat its !
own object through strikes, raises in
wages and social disturbances in the |
country. It is with the view TO finding |
a solution to these problems, filled with |
the greatest dangers to both our produc-
ers and consumers, that legislation has
been proposed and pressed for speedy
enactment.
IS. The proposed food administration
has conferred with many hundred pa
triotic men engaged in production and
distribution and has investigated the
condition of the consumers in many CEN
tiers as well. Many plans have been ten
tatively put forward and abandoned and
others have developed, but in any case
none has or can be settled until legisla-
ton has been completed. Three facts
