"Nervous exhaustion and liver trouble so arfected my wile's heaith that!>lie was greatly run down; neuralgia of the heart set in and for a long time she was very close to the bor der line of life and death. She was attended by two good physicians, who did all they could for her, but in spite of everything she grew worse right along. One day I saw an advertisement of Dr. Miles' Nervine and New Heart Cure, and the doctor's explana tion of the effects of nervoiis trouble upon the heart seemed so logical that I decided to gr. c the remedies a trial.

Tito lava streams from the eruption of Vesuvius in 1858 were so hot twelve years later that steam issued from their cracks and crevices. Those that flowed from Etna in 1787 were found to lie steaming hot just below tlie crust as late as 1840. The volcano Jorullo, in Mexico, poured forth in 1759 lava that eighty-seven years later gave off columns of steaming vapor. In 1780 it was found that a stick thrust into the crevices instantly Ignited, although no discomfort was experienced in walking on the hardened crust. HiMtory Ilevenlw Itself.

DARROW, Pram Correspinuhnt Ncio York State O-ranac THE FARM LABOR QUESTION How Can the Granjre Help 1" Solv ing; the Farm Slelp Problem 112 The scarcity of farm help both in doors aud outdoors tlie past harvest season has forced farm people to think seriously as to what will bo the out come. Wagfs of farm laborers have Increased nearly one-third in the last decade, while the supply of farm help has diminished in about the same ratio. The farmer has been trying to tide over this pressure by working a little harder himself. The good wife and children have "helped out" in many an emergency, but the long continued strain proves to us that we cannot en dure this high pressure very much longer. A suggestion of a solution to this problem is given by Hon. F. W. Red fern, which Is worthy of consider ation. He says: "The scarcity of really good men, men who understand farm operations, Is coming to be severely felt. Farmers are anxiously Inquiring, 'What are we going to do for help on the farm?' Some one says, 'Use more machinery.' Yes, but that is only a partial solution of the work question, for men must ibe had to work the /nnehinery. The problem of getting them still confronts us. A solution must be had, however. It must come througlj a change in cropping, a curtailment of production or a resort to the importation of labor | from countries having an excess. The j present demand for marketable prod | nets precludes very much change In j cropping, at least of such a character as'would allow with doing away with hired help on the ordinary farm. Cur tailment of production cannot ba thought of, because that would bring distress. The people must be fed. The remedy would seem then to be in im portation of farm laborers. The ques tion then is, How can this be brought about? Simply enough. A general ap peal might be made by our agrlcul j turists to the chief of the department I of agriculture at Washington, asking j that the United States consuls abroad | be instructed to make inquiry as to I the location of farm laborers who j would be willing to migrate to the United States and report their findings to Washington. "An information bureau could be es tablished and arrangements made with the authorities in Washington as to the number of laborers desired and in what localities needed. All that would be needed could no doubt be induced to come. A dearth of laborers for the mine or workshop is readily tilled by importation of miners and mechanics from the overtlironged districts of Eu rope. Why not try the experiment 011 our farms and thereby solve the ques tion of farm labor?" The question now comes, Is this a matter where the national grange could urge upon congress to take some action that will allow farmers more latitude in regard to the employment of foreign laborers?— Michigan Quarterly lSulletiu. GRANGE NEWS. I'Ornl P.LperN lleroKntze the Demand I''or It. We note with encouragement the way in which the press of New York state, and even other states, is throw ing open its columns to grange news. More grange departments have been started by newspapers within the past fix mouths than ever before. Papers which ten years ago had 110 space for grange news are now giving from one to four columns a week to it. They have simply recognized a demand for this kind of reading 011 the part of the public. An ideal grange department in a local paper should contain all the real news pertaining to the order. Rut it should be more than a purely news department. It should furnish food for thought along lines of grange work. It should contain such reading matter rs could lie used with profit by the lec turer in the meetings, audit should at .".11 times aim to furnish such articles as will broaden and educate. It should j i lso be the aim of the editor of a 112 lange department to keep abreast of j the best sentiment and thought of the day in this chosen field.—Overseer George A. Fuller. The Subordinate Grnnnre, If a grange fails to bo interesting or j attractive no sense of duty will long j prompt members to attend.
