The American Medical Associa tion met in Chicago recently in their 59th annual convention. Pre ceding the opening of the regular meeting there was a gathering of famous inebriety specialists. One of them declared that America is becoming a nation of degenerates through drugs and alcohol neurosis. Patent medicines were condemned. Even pure water, takan in large and unnecessary quanities, was inju rious. Alcohol, under all conditions was harmful. The slavish use of tea and coffee led to a species of in ebriety as harmful as that resulting from alcohol. Over indulgences and gluttony are characteristics of a degenerate. Such were a few of the opinions expressed by these specialists. The drug habit is a deplorable one. There is not one person in five not addicted to iti. There are handy specifics for every pain and ailment. By imprudent eating, drinking and management of the! nutritive and excretory organs a headache or that tired feeling is produced. It has taken week3 to bring about the'eon dition and weak foolish people think that the cure can be affected in two minutes by some of these poison preparations. Any man or woman who depends on drugs, tonics, the hypodermic syringe and all sorts of nostrums to keep them going, are certain to go, but they go downward all the time. No medicine at all is better than its in&scriminate use. If you have formed the habit of taking cathar tics, tonics, sleep-producing potions and all sorts of regulating dope, you are in a very bad way. We verily believe that the makers of all these patent and proprietary medi cines have done a thousand times more harm than good. If we ever have sane and sound men and wo men we have to get them from that class that takes no meaicine. Sturdy strong, healthy children can not be expected from anaemic, degenerate mothers and fathers. The American Farmer. The Review of Reviews says if the American farmer went out of business this year he could clean up thirty billion dollars. And he would have to sell his farm on credit; for there is not enough money in the whole world to pay him half his price. Talk of the money-made trusts! They might have reason to be mad if they owned the farms, instead of their watered stock. When we re member that the American farmer earns enough in seventeen days to buy out the Standard Oil and enough in fifty days to wipe Carnegie 'and the steel trust off the inrlustrial snap, the story of the trusts seems like "the short and simple annals of the poor." : One American harvest would buy the kingdom of Belgium, king and all; two would buy Italy; three would buy Austria-Hungary, and at a spot cash price would take Russia from the czar. Talk about swollen fortunes? "With the setting of every sun the money box of the American farmer bulges with the weight of twenty four new million. Only the most atletic imaginations can conceive of such a torrent of wealth. Place your finger on the pulse of your wrist, and count the heart beats, one, two, three, four. With every four of those quick throbs, day and night, a thousand dollars clatters into the gold bin of the American farmer. How incomprehensible it would seem to Periclees, who saw Greece in her Golden Age. if he could know that the yearly revenue of his coun try is now no more than one day's pay for the men who till the soil of this infant republic! ! Or, how it would amaze ? resur ected Christophe r Columbus if he were told that the revenues of Spain and Portugal are npt nearly as much as the earnings of the American farmer'p hen. Mere.y the crumbs that drop from the farmer's table, (otherwise known as agricultural exports) have brought himlin enough in foreign money since 1865 to enable him, if he wished, to settle the railroad problem once for all by buying ev ery foot of railroad in the United States. Such is our new farmer--a man for whom there is no name in any language. He is far above the far mer of the story books as a 1908 touring car is above a jurikisha. In stead of being an ignorant hoeman in a barnyard world, he gets the news by daily mail and telephone; and incidently publishes a trade journal of his own. Instead of be ing a moneyless peasant he pays the interest on the mortgage with the earnings of a week. Even this is less of an expense than it seems for he borrows money from him self, out of his own bank, and spends the bulk of the tax money around his own properties. Farming for a business, not a liv ing, this is the motive of the new farmer. He is a commercialist?a man of the twentieth century. He works as hard as the old farmer did, but in a higher way. He uses the four M's?mind, money, machinery, and muscle; but as little of the lat ter as possible. Neither is he a Robinson Crusoe of the soil; as the old farmer was. His hermit days are over; he is a man among men. The railway, the trol ley, the automobile, and the top buggy have transformed him into a suburbanite. In fact his business has become so complex and many sided that he touches civilization at more points and lives a larger life than if he were one of the atoms of a crowded city, All, American farmers, of course, are not of the new variety. The country is like the city, has its slums. But after having made al lowance for exceptions it is still true that the United States is the home of the new farmer. He is the most typical human product that his country has produced, and the most important, for in spite of her egotistical cities the United States is still a farm based nation. The Statistics of Suicide. Statistics deal directly with facts but the facts may be differently 'in terpreted, and probably there will be much diversity in the reasoning on the statistics of suicide that are presented by Geo. Kennan in an ar ticle in McClure's Magazine. There will be general agreement with the author, however upon certain points that he emphasizes and gen eral interest in the figures, state ments and explanations that he of fers for consideration. Mr. Kennan finds that suicide is specially prevalent between the 50th and 55th parallels of north latitude, the number within these parallels being 172 to the million, and the largest number outside being 93 to the million. The annual number of suicides is about 10,000 in the United States and about 70,000 in all Europe. It is increasing rapid ly everywhere, and in the United States it has increased from 12 in the million in 1881 to 126 in the million in 1907. Climate, Mr. Kennan says, has little or nothing to do with it, but season and weather a great deal. Contrary to the general impression, suicides are least numerous in De cember and most numerous in June, and far more numerous in the clear and beautiful days of June than in its wet or cloudy days. The suicide rate is always reduced by any great and absorbing public calamity or excitement. This is universally true of wars, but was just as marked in connection with the destruction of San Francisco. The suicidal impulse increases rap idly from childhood to old age. It is much higher among the offi cers and soldiers or sailors of armies and navies than among other peo ple. The rate is higher among phy sicians, lawyers, journalists, teach ers and all professional men except clergymen than among other classes. There are fewer suicides by far among women than men. By a comparison of the north of Ireland with the south of Ireland, and the Protestant cantons of Switzerland .with its Catholic cantons, Mr. Ken nan shows that suicides are much more common among Protestants than Catholics. In Switzerland they are four to one. It is more common among all Christains than among Jews and Mohammedans. It is impracticable to give all of the writers conclusions, but his most significant comment is that appearances seem to teach "that suicide is a by-product of the great complicated machine that we call civilization." Don't shut your heart to the griefs and needs of others unless you would shut out genuine joy. WORK FOR INDIVIDUALS. How to Make a Town Attractive and Wide Awake. During the warm, summer-like days we experience in the spring our though::' rnrii (ubi lightly. ;.? tjilng? rural. We long for green Heids, shady nooks, the rippling brooks and singing birds. Some of these charms are pres ent about every town and village, and if the place be clean and neat, the streets well planted, foothill and can yon not too far away, the springtime proves a harvest Many do not care for the extremely dull monotony of our seaside resorts and choose rather the charms of the woodland and pasture, green and fresh. Lucky the town whose appearance attracts the summer visitor. A large part of the responsibility for attractiveness lies with the individual. See that your hedge is trimmed, your fence and gate In good repair and neatly painted. Your sidewalk, wheth er cement or gravel (wood is scarcely permissible), should be In good condi tion. The street and gutters in front of your property must be kept free from weeds, paper and other rubbish, and all such should be burned in the yard, not in the street Cut your ilawn often, trim your trees and plants and give all about you an "alive and up to date" look. After you have done this see what you can do to awaken a neighborhood interest in improvement It may be yon can only organize a "block beautiful club," or the move ment may assume dimensions that would warrant the formation of an Improvement society. Civic beauty is an asset civic ugliness a liability. Which will you choose? UNTIDY PARKS. Useful Suggestion For Keeping Pleas ure Grounds In Order. A good hint for keeping parks clean is contained in- the following views of a New York man who believes in or der: "I wish that every man or woman who goes Into one of our beautiful parks on Sunday morning from now on could have received the training I did when camping out as a boy in Canada. I was taught to pick up every bit of paper, every scrap of every kind left over from a meal, and to put it In the camp fire. And after all the refuse had been consumed we always had to see to it that the fire was put out so that there would be no danger of start ing-a forest fire. The result of such training is to make one careful of other folks', rights, and that would work out here splendidly. "For if men and women who went into a park on Sunday morning and used a portion of their newspaper as a protection from the dampness of the earth would only pick it up and carry it off with them to deposit it in the nearest receptacle for such things the general appearance of our pleasure grounds would be improved immense ly. It distresses me to see the beauti ful lawns marred by these bits of pa per at a time when they ought to look their best and as they would look all summer long if each individual would do his share in keeping them in order." Qet Trade by Advertising. The best way In which the merchants in the towns and smaller cities can fight the mail order houses is to adver tise. They know most of their patrons personally, can show them the goods before they buy them, have many other advantages over the mall order house and in almost every Instance can sell just as cheap if not cheaper, remarks the Buckeye (Ohio) Informer. If the home merchant lacks foresight and is too penurious to properly adver tito his goods, why should the publish er exert himself to keep the trade at home for him? If solicitations on the part of the publisher fail to educate the merchant to the fact that he must advertise if he wants to keep up with the procession, then nothing is left to the merchant but to learn in the school of experience, and if the teachings of that renowned school are of no effect on him then there is no place for him, and eventually his plaote m the com mercial world will be taken up by some more enterprising.competitor. How Chicago Cleaned Up. Chicago's general clpnnup day this year, according to the reports, was a big success. The cleaning of the va cant lots of the city was assigned to the school children, and they went at the job with vigor and enthusiasm. When school adjourned at 3:30 p. m. they were provided by the Janitors of the various schools with the* necessary tools, and within an hour the fruits of their labors were to be seen in huge piles of waste paper, tin cans, old shoes and miscellaneous refuse. Buying From Pictures. If you were buying a horse, would you make your purchase after seeing a piclnre of the animal, or would you insist upon seeing the horse? This sounds like a foolish question, but it has a point Many persons who think this question silly often buy-goods be cause they have seen pictures of the goods In mall order house catalogues and hare taken a fancy to them. It is just as sensible to buy a borse from Beeing his picture. Economic Co-operation. A recent interesting development re ported by the shade tree commission of Plalnfield. N. J., is its co-operation with the Charity Organization society, the commission having trees that are cut down or large dead limbs which have been removed from trees taken to the wood yard which is maintained by the society, where their cutting up fur nishes work for the unemployed This is economic co-operation.

QUEEN OF ACTRESSES PRAISES PERUNA "I Am m' Glad To ANY remedy that benefits digestion strengthens the nerves. The nerve centers require nutrition. If the digestion Is impaired, the nerve centers become anemic, and indigestion is the result. Peruaa is not a nervine nor a stimulant It benefits the nerves by benefiting digestion. Peruna frees the stomach of catarrhal congestions and normal digestion is the result. In other words, Peruna goes to the bottom , of the whole difficulty, when the disagreeable symptoms disappear. Mrs'. J.C. Jamison, 61 Marchant street, Watsohville, Oal., writes: "I was troubled with my stomach for six years. I triedjnany kinds of medi cine, also was treated by three, doctors. "They said that I had nervous dys pepsia. I was put-on a liquid diet for three months. "I improved under the treatment, bui as soon as I stopped taking the medi cine, I got bad again. "I took the medicine for two years, then I got sick again and gave up all hopes of getting cured. '?I saw a testimonial of a man whose case was similar to mine being cured by Peruna, so I thought I would give it a trial. "I procured a bottle at once and com menced taking it. I have taken sevaral bottles and am entirely cured. "/ have gained in strength and feel like a different person. I be lieve Peruna is all that is claimed for It" Nervines, such as egal tar prepara tions, are doing a great deal of harm. Sleep medicines and headache powdera are all alike,?heart depressants, and should not be used. The nerves would be all right, if the digestion were good, Peruna corrects the digestion.
