The Aloehraic JAG.

How is a man going to keep up
with the state beer laws that are be-
ing passed? II he can keep out Of
jail in one state how can he be sure
Of it in another? Perhaps with the
aid of a chemist, mathematics
prof. and a time clock he might, but
we doubt it.
To explain and point out the dan
gers of what we mean we will take
the following states at random in
which the legal percentages are more
or less real and alleged: New Jersey,
35 per cent; Wisconsin, rs per cent;
Massachusetts, 2 per cent; Rhode
Island, 4 per cent; the United States
of America, per cent. Now sup
pose a man travelling from Massa-
chusetts and wishing to indulge in a
quiet and uniformly legal jag. How
can he do it? 1t is a mathematical
proposition and must be worked out
as such. We predict that the time is
coming when the study of mathe-
mates will receive great impetus
and be in great demand for such pur-
poses. For instance:
Let represent the jag
Then starting from Massachu-
sets. i quart Gee, Mass. plus go
equals 4Gs. +. I. minus sGo equals
$3.50 N. J. minus 1eo equals
25qs Wis.,
Divide this by 80 L. S. y. and the
result will equal Y, the jag. or posi-
bly, squared.
Other considerations to he taken
into account are the states which
reckon percentage by weight as well
as by content, specific gravity, the
law of gravitation, the fourth dimen-
sion and the traffic ordinances, not
to mention the Nolstead law. BY
this time the jag will have to be
represented by : raised to the nth
power and the rest is hopeless.
Years ago we had 4 lot to say
about states rights and we finally
talked and fought and legislated
them off the stage. Then we had an
epoch of state banks and they went
the way of all the world Now we
seem to be in for sentence Of state
beer and in the light of past ex-
perience and future foreDoding we
raise our voice emphatically against
it. Selah.

Mr.. and Mrs. Omer Ward are re-
ceiving congratulations Jon the birth
Of a son. He was born Friday night
and weighs IL pounds.
Sunday between and 8 A. NJ, fire
was discovered breaking through the
windows Of the grist mill owned and
operated by Baker & Priest. The
main building was q mass of flames
and nothing could be saved from this
part. A store house joining was
emptied of bags and barrels of grain
and flour by a group of men who
worked in thick smoke. A coal fire
was left in the Office of the mill as
usual Saturday night and doubtless
the high wind famed it to such a
pitch that some woodwork took fire
There was no church services in
town Sunday on account of rough
weather and bad travelling.

BY Taking Tanlac
Mrs. Ida 6reauIt Was So Run Down
Her Life Was Miserable, Is Well,
Strong and Happy Now.

Il will always bless the day l de-
cided to try Tanlac, for when l be-
gan taking it was in a badly rum
down condition. but today I am we'll
and happy again." said Mrs. Ida
Breault, 203 Merrimack street, Man
chester, N. II.
'.F'or the past year my appetite
was so poor had to just force down
every mouthful l ate and my stom-
ach was in such bad condition even
the little did manage to eat caused
me to be in misery for hours after
ward. I suffered terribly from gas
after every meal and at :imes~I felt
just like I was choking. My head
ached nearly all the time and some
times the pain was so severe it felt
like it was bursting open. and often
I would feel so dizzy and faint I had
to lie down. Ny nerves were in
such bad condition the least little
noise out of the ordinary completely
upset me and I was so restless at
night 1 could get but very little
sleep. I felt tired and WORKOUT all
the time and was so weak l could
barely get around.
LAS l heard so many people prais-
ing Tanlac 1 decided to try it, and it
began to help me right away. AS l
continued taking it continued to
improve until today the benefits |
have received from it are simply re-
markable. now have 4 splendid
appetite and can eat three hearty
meals day and enjoy every one of
them. My stomach never gives me
a particle of trouble, although l eat
just anything 1 want. The head
aches and dizzy, faint spells have
left me entirely. and my nerves are
in such good condition ! can sleep
all night long as peaceful as a child.
l am entirely rid Of that tired, worn
out feeling, and have regained my
strength SO that l can do all my
housework with the greatest ease
Tanlac has simply helped me in
every way, and l am only too glad to
say a good word for it,"
Tanlac is sold in Augusta by Bow
ditch-Webster Co., and the leading
druggist in every city and town.

But give us the spring with its song and

And our Joy will have reached its

In the easy chairs we hide
But all must rise and venture forth,
To the snowy world outside.

Forgotten the joy of a winters eve;

Not temperature forty below;

In place of the beautiful snow.
Give US the songs Of the little birds.
