Neuralgia of the heart causes sudden
death. It is an acute affection of the car
diac »erve, just as neuraleia is of the nerves
of the face, usually, and sciatica is of the
nerve trunk of the thigh. One of its most
f;equent symptoms is derangement of the
stomach and liver. Strengthen the heart's
action and enrich the blood with Or. Miles'
Heart Cure; tone up the nerves with Restor

"Nervous exhaustion and liver trouble so

for a long time she was very close to the bor

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

the heart seemed so logical that I decided to

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

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. The mem- j
1 ersliip of the grange is composed of j
a class of persons whose lives are given
to labor and who usually are sur- i
felted with brain wearying cares ami
I isinoss at Willie and who value the
1 range for the recreation and pleasant :
times It affords them as much as for
the pecuniary benefits and intellectual j
•velopment it brings. It has been the ;
mistake of many well meaning officers
to stuff their members with intellectual ;
1 utrition without sweetening, flavor
ing or suiting and then blame the sub
lets because their appetite palls.—S.
i:. Strode.
An lll!i-4<rii«lon of Co-operation.
What may be done in co-operation is
li 'St si own by what is being done. The '
n.embers of Volnoy grange, No. 105,
Oswego county, N. Y., during the year
ending Juno 1. 1903, bought eighteen
cars of feed weighing 345 tons, four
< ;irs of coal and 10,000 pounds of sugar,
besides large quantities of other gro
ceries.
ClirlHt (lie Solution.
Christ is the solution of all social dif
ficulties, and he should bo preached as
such. His religion Is made up of two
elements—faith and a rule of moral
and spiritual life.—Rev. Or. Babbitt,
Episcopalian, Brooklyn.

Short Talks On Advertising
\_ ByCharles Austin Bates.
Ho. 13.
Economy often defeats its own ends. Sometimes economy is
extravagant. Sometimes not spending is more expensive than
spending.
So in advertising. That is an economical expense. I call it an
expense to avoid argument. In reality it is an investment.
In a ten-dollar advertisement the last two dollars pay better than
the other eight. Maybe an eight-dollar ad. wouldn't pay when a
. .. ten-dollar ad. would. Maybe that extra
space is just what the ad. needs to lift
it out of oblivion—to make it promi
nent—to make it pay.
«*T BUY I Don't buy more space than you
need, but don't buy too little, either.
,T»UN YOUNtU) | _ » . 7 , , ' ,
• ' Better buy too much than too little.
Better put an eight-dollar ad. in a ten
dollar 6pace than to put a ten-dollar
ad. in an eight-dollar space. One way
you are out only two dollars; the other
way you are out eight dollars.
Save money on your advertising if
you can, of course, but save it in the right way. Cut off the little
leaks—the programs, the bills of fare, the directories, the wall charts,
the pages in "souvenirs." Cut them all off, and your trade will
never feel the difference.
Cut off the inconsequential papers if you have to, but always
keep your ad. in your best papers, big enough to do you justice. It
is better to convince a few people than to talk to many.
You will always find that the best papers give you more for your
