The meetings of the Grange afford an Ideal place and time for discussing means and methods for bettering local conditions. A jowel Is not quite com plete unless It has a harmonious setting. So with our homes. The individual farm or home may be noat and attract ive in Its self hilt to make It the best and to make living there most desirable it must be in good neighborhood, sur rounded by other pleasaut places and be In touch with the outer world. To thls'ond It Is woll for all Granges to work to have Rural Free Mall De livery. At the meetings the idea can be discussed and then have tho Secre tary Write to the PostofTlce Depart ment, Washington, D. C, and ask for full information as to how to proceed to get it. Then the petition ought to be started right at the next mcoling of the Grange. Mutual telephone- lines are also productive of much comfort, satisfaction, and sometimes of profit. At the Grange Is just the place to talk up the matter of having a little neigh borhood system. It can be put up very cheaply and when It Is once had will not be abandoned. The Btart can be small and more phones put in and system extended as experience grows. Tbe writer knows many granges that have already been the moans of secur ing these things. The whole- com munity appreciates such a grange and the granges that work along these broad lines feel great satisfaction In their accompltBhmeuts. This is worth trying. A Startling: Test, To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merrltt, of No. Mohoopany, Pa., mado a starling tost resulting In a wondorful cure. He writes, "a patient was attacked with violent hemorrhages, caused by ulcera tion of the stomach. I had often found Eloctrlo Bitters excollont for acute stomach and liver troubles so I pre scribed them. The patient gained from tho first, and has not had an attack in 14 months." Eloctrlo Bitters are posi tively guaranteed for Dyspepsia, Indi gestion, Constipation and Kidney troubl es, try them. Only 50o at II. Alex Stoke's. Notice to Contractors.

Many men and women are constantly subjocted to what they commonly torra "a continual strain" because of some financial or family trouble. It wears and distresses them both mentally and physically, affecting their nerves badly and bringing on liver and kidney ail ments, with the attendant evils of constipation, loss of appetite, sleepless ness, low vitality and despondency. Tbey cannot, as a rulo, got rid 'of this "continual strain," but tbey can remedy Its bealth-dostroying effects by taking frequent doses of Green's August Flower. It tones up the liver, stimu lates the kidneys, insures healthy bodily functions, gives vim and spirit to one's whole being, and eventually dis pels the physical or montal distress caused by that "continual strain."
