When we are tempted to despair let as always remember that God has plen­ ty to spare. Whatever else may be (Cone, God is always left. Gov. Frederick Robie, in one of his inaugural addresses to .the legislature, said: "Prohibition has worked im­ mense advantages for the state of Maine. The vast snm of money which formerly went into the till of the saloon keeper is how spent for improving farms, house­ holds, and a thousand other ways which benefit society, and the state feels the beneficial effect." Senator Eugene Bale testifies to the efficiency of the Maine law as follows: "Throughout the state generally the prohibitory law has driven out the grog shop, and while liquor is undoubtedly sold in the larger towns and cities it is not done, in an open way, and the amount of liquor selling is smaller even in these larger towns and cities than in corresponding places elsewhere. Maine people believe in prohibition because they are every-day witnesses to its good effects." Senator William P. Frye gives this testimony to the efficiency of the Maine prohibitory law: "Today the country portions of the state are absolutely free from the sale of liquor; poverty is com­ paratively unknown and in some of the counties the jails have been without oc­ cupants for years at a time. Wherever the laws have been rigidly enforced this condition of things has been the invari­ able result. The people who have tried and witnessed the result of these prohib itory laws, adopted a few years since a constitutional amendment prohibiting the sale or manufacture of liquor by an overwhelming majority." The W. C. T. U. will continue to pe * tition for federal legislation to protect native races in our own territory and m foreign lands. It will continue to protest against the bringing of Chinese, girls to this country for immoral pur poses and against the enslaving of the same, and against the legalizing of all crime, especially that of prostitution and liquor selling. It will continue to protest against the sale of liquor in Sol diers' Homes, where an aggregate of |253,027 is spent annually for intoxicat­ ing drinks, only about one fifth of the soldiers' pension money being sent home to their families. It will continue to protest against* the United States gov­ ernment receiving a revenue for liquors sold within prohibitory territory, either local or state, and against all complicity of the federal government with the liquor traffic. It will continue to pro­ test against lynching and lend its aid in favor of the enforcement of law. It will continue to work for the highest well-being of onr soldiers and sailors, and especially for suitable temperance canteens and liberal rations. It will continue to work for the protection of the home against its enemy, the liquor traffic, and for the redemption of onr government from this curse, which re­ demption can only come, it believes, by the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors for bev­ erage purposes. It is pledged tu the highest interests of the great institu­ tions of the world--the home, the school, the church, the state. Healthy Mothers. Mothers should always keep in good bodily health. They owe it to their childrert. Yet it is no unusual sight to see a mother, with babe in arms, cough­ ing violently and ex&ibiting all the symp­ toms of a consumptive tendency. And why should this dangerous condition ex­ ist. dangerous alike to mother and child, when Dr. Boshee's German Syrup would put a stop to it at once? No mother should be without this old and tried remedy in the house--for its timely use will promptly cure any lung, throat or bronchial trouble in herself or her chil­ dren. The worst cough or cold can be npeediiy cured by German Syrup; so can hoarseness and congestion of the bron­ chial tnbes. It makes expectoration easy, and gives instant relief and re­ ft eshing rest to the cough racked con­ sumptive. New trial bottles, 25c; large size, 75c.

Nichols, a merchant and postmaster at Vernon, Conn., makes the following statement: "A little child of Michael Strauss was recently in great pain from a burn on the hand, and as cold applications only increased the inflammation, Mr. Strauss came to me fbr something to stop the little one's pain. From the many iiniments fcarry in stock, I advised him to use Chamber­ lain's Pain Balm, and the first applica­ tion drew out the inflammation and gave immediate relief. 1 have used this liniment myself and recommend it very often for cuts, burns, strains and lame back, and have never known it to disappoint."

The state experiment station, located at the University of Illinois, is conduct­ ing a series of investigations in regard to the comparatiye value of different crop rotations. Three different systems are beirig investigated. First, the con­ tinuous cropping with corn; second, a two-year rotation foit.h corn and cat*; third, a three-y«ar rotation with corn, oats and clover. The results of the ex­ periments show that the largest crops of corn can be raised in the three-year rotation, and that when limestone and steamed bone meal are. applied, the yield is greatly increased. Where these systems have been fol­ lowed for a number of years the latest yields obtained (1904) were 40 bushels per acre with the continuous corn sys­ tem ; 19 bushels of corn after oats in the two-year rotation; and 75 bushels of corn after clover In the three-year rota­ tion. On other fields on the same kind of soil where these three systems have been followed for twenty-eight years, the largest corn yields were 22 bushels per acre where corn has been grown continuously; 86 bushels of corn after oats in the two-year rotation; and .r9 bushels of corn after clover in the three y^ar rotation. The yields of the: fields thus cropped for twenty-eight years have fallen be­ low the yields of the fields cropped for only ten years, as follows: 18 bushels decreased (40 to 22) where corn is grown continuously: 13 bushels decrease (49 to 36) where corn followed oats in the two- year rotation; and 16 bushels decrease (75 to 59) where corn follows clover in the three-year rotation. Where ground limestone and steamed bone meal are being applied in the three- year rotation the yield of corn is in­ creasing, the yield for 1904 being 96 bushels of corn per acre. To see one field of corn which yields >nly 23 bushels and another which yields 96 bushels, growing side by side 1 on the same kind of soil and from the same kind of seed, and both receiving the same kind of cultivation, is an ob' ject lesson not soon to be forgotten. A Continual Strain. Many men and women are constantly subjected to what they commonly term "a continual strain" because of some financial or family trouble. It wears and distresses them both mentally and physically, affecting theii nerves badly and bringing on liver and kidney com­ plaints, with the attendant evils of con­ stipation. loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality and despondency. They cannot, as a rale, get rid of this "con­ tinual strain," but they can remedy its health-destroying effects by taking fre­ quent doses of Green's August Flower. It tones up the liver, stimulates the kid­ neys. insures healthy bodily functions, giyes vim and spirit to one's whole be­ ing, and eventnally dispels the mental or physical distress caused by that "con­ tinual strain."
