The Tablets are sold under the guarantee of a government analyst to contain, no opiate nor any other drug which will harm the young- est 'Id— they cannot possibly do harm; the:; ays do good, and once other d them she will ne er again give little ones castor oil or a "sooth- ing"' stuffs which simply d g baby in- to temporary relief and i the end do harm.

Mr. Isaac Needham, of Bryanston, the well-known cattle dealer of that district, has a sow of which he is proud. A couple of weeks ago it gave birth to 21 little pigs, 19 of which are still alive and bid fair to continue so until they reach the bacon stage. The task of raising so large a family is somewhat too difficult for one pig, and so Mr. Needham had to construct a brooder, in which he looks after half the family. He . expects, if the sow keeps up this record, and reciprocity, of which he is an ardent advocate, car- ries, to break up the American meat trust. 1sUxiy.

THE LIQUOR TRAyFIC, No system except that in which pro- fit is the god would for a moment allow the manufacture of an article which, by the best scientific authorities, as well as by the experience of the entire peo- ple, is known to be a poison, detrimen_ tal to body and harmful to brain. Only as a means whereby the slave, whose whole being has been racked in shop, mine or factory, may deaden his sensibility of the cruel world that op- presses him, is there any excuse for the traffic. Even there we fail to find any real excuse. For this slave should steer clear of this drug and use his brain to throw off the oppressor, and thus se- cure an environment where forgetful- ness is not a necessity, but where every realization brings joy and comfort. Froth the point of view of labor alone, the liquor traffic is a fearful waste. The construction '" of buildings— breweries and distilleries—the manufac- ture of machinery—boilers, . engines and other intricate appliances —the men needed in the industry directly as brew- ers and distillers; the growing of mil- lions of bushels of corn, wheat and bar- ley, with all the harvesting machinery, threshing outfits, elevators and rail- roads necessary, the countless saloons, with their keepers and bartenders. their furniture and fixtures, requir- ing .a host of cabinet and furniture workers, masses of glass and bottle blowers, keg and barrel factories, driv- ers, waggons, horses, harness, with numerous other elements of equipment, make up an industry so enormous as to be well-nigh inconceivable. To keep this going the workers must hand over the desk more than two bil- lion dollars a year in this country alone. Most of this is first handed to the ex- ploiters who buy the costly wines and whiskies, while. the Iaborer gets the oheap and ;'doctored" beer, made of rosin and rain water, with enough pois- on in it to destroy his body and mind and create a craving for more. It is inconceivable that under any system where private profit is not the central figure, an industry that is harm- ful to the individual and society alike, could exist at all.—'file Next Step; a kir � BROS.

Albright, of the Farmer's Advo- cate, ,last week, "if the June bug should become a• serious menace this year. For the last two years the ground has been infested with the grubs of which the June bug is known to be the parent, and if they are more numer- ous this season than other years, it is not to be wondered at We are only beginning to .plow on the Advocate farm, and in consequence have not yet found many of the grubs in question. Nor have our subscribers sent in any reports to the effect that these grubs are more numerous than usual this ' year. Possibly the reports which have appeared are exaggerated."

When you call at the office for your mail and the postmaster hands it out, enquire if that is all. If you ask for your mail and are told there is none, say there' ought to be; then go home -and send the rest of the family to. the. office at different times of the clay. Don't bring your mail to the office until the mail closes; then blame the postmaster for not opening the mail bag and putting your letter in. When you want a stamp on your letter tell the postmaster to put one' on; if he doesn't like that, thrash him. In case you put it on yourself hold it in your mouth long enough to remove the mucilage It will then stick on un - til it is dry. Be sure to ask the postmaster to credit you with stamps; if there is any accommodation about him he will do it. If you have a box, stand and drum on 'it until the postmaster hands out your mail. It makes him feel good, especially if he is waiting on someone else. When yon call for stamps get close before the delivery window and put them on at leisure. Other people wait- ing for their mail will be so glad when the last stamp is on. Start for your mail when you hear the train whistle. You will have a good time waiting for it and you will see how slow those clerks are.
