THE SAGER’S SAYINGS
(Continued from last week.
The unequalities of the farmer’s
compensation and the urban wage is
the crux of the whole matter havinQ
to do with the dissatisfaction that
exists. To pay the excess remunera
tion to organized crafts the unpro
tected tiller must perforce be denied
his just portion of labor’s incremen.
The people are seemingly but neg
atively interested in the matter, nor
grasp the significance of the grow
ing exodus from the farm, the eco
nomic pressure resulting from which
is now being much felt and if con
tinued the agricultural states will
greatly suffer. Without the depend
ent support the edifice will totter and
without adequate returns from his
produce, the farmer, who is one-half
of the world’s populace, can not give
support to commerce and industry.
The modern tiller of the soil who
manages to hold his head above wa
ter against the avalanche of cumu
lative debentures that invest him can
not be categoried as a hewer of
wood for more intelligent applica
tion and a keener perspective is re
quired in the efficient productive pro
cess than is needed in manual labor
in the cities. Even the middle class
es of so-called mental workers do
not require as ready exercise of wit
as do the farmers who have a penny
left at the end of the year. The di
vergent classes have a cut and dried
methodical process to guide them
wherein scarce deviation from the
given rule is practiced.
The merchant figures his percent
age of profits. The pedagogue has a
prescribed method of teaching. The
railroad man does the same thing
every day, all formulated and lined
off. The banker takes in and pays
out, knowing his rates of interest.
The parson has a passport to Beulah
Band if his flock lets him starve. The
lawyer lives by his ready wit. The
baker and tinker can trade with one
another if business slackens and the
doctor can take his own medicine i*
his stomach upsets, but the wearv old
moss-back must battle with every
kaleidoscopic change on the back
ground of human endeavor without
recourse. He can not refer to the
chart, for the knowledge must rank
with the creators to inubitably plan
ahead and precedence for carrying on
does not exist. He must thresh out
the problems that, ever arise within
his own brain, only his initiative to
be relied upon.
This pictures a bleak aspect, to be
sure, and it is all of that with the
double eight hours per day labor and
the sweat sapping the grease out of
his anatomy His exertions of mind
and body leaving him so weary and
drawn when the even-tide glides away
that he scarce can taste his pone and
fry and by the time ha scrapes the
sweat and grime off he sinks more
deeply in the arms of morpheus than
all of Doctor Hand’s red mixture
and the sleep potions of Doctor Jack
•omblned could ever calculate to put
bins
However, it is averred that water
will seek its level, and if so it be
and the brimming pool on the other
side can take In no more then the
water will flow back and the famish

LADY WAS IN A BAD FIX
FROM NERVOUS INOtfiESTHHI
l
: Biloxi, Miss.—“l had, for a year or
more, nervous indigestion, or some form
Os stomach trouble,” says Mrs. Alonzo
Ford, 1117 Clay Street, this city. "The
water 1 drank at that time seemed to
constipate me. 1 would suffer until 1 got
ao nervous 1 wanted to get down on the
Boor and roll. I felt like 1 could tear
a
my clothes.
* "Every night, and night after night, 1
had to take something for a laxative, and
it had to be kept up nightly. My side
would pain. I looked awful. My skin
was sallow and seemed spotted. I would
leak at my bauds and arms, and the flash
looked lifeless.
"1 happened to get a Birthday Almanac,
so I taM my husband I would try the
malt Hu—hi which 1 did. I took a
tew tdgdoaas. IMI much better. My
lhrer acted wed. I made a good, warm
trataif drank ft that way. Soon I found
day will have a part in the scheme
of existence. But this extravagant
idealism, as evidenced by the past,
will be of short shift unless ade
quate and binding correction by the
body politic intervenes in the mean
time or the milienium ushers in and
the Golden Rule is mankind’s guiding
star.
The husbandman typifies the ideal
conception of mankind's activities
hereon. Other vocations are merely
relatives, the entire superstructure
resting, as it were, on the producer’s
diligence in the fields of production.
The farmer in the very nature of
his calling can not practice chicanery
or upish methods on the soil save
that he pay the penalty within him
self in a short harvest. Folks can
be tricked but never the soil.
His sphere is the glory of the
Lord, bilt. she nefarious persecutions
of his kind has degenerated his lot
into about the most abject condition
possible.
The rising tide of glorious day
His are the eyes that first behold
And thrilling to the gripping sway
With valiant hopes he is away
Life’s noblest mission to enfold.
Decreed of God, nor doth complain
When elemental storms betide
And o’er his fields incessant rain
Deluge the crops of budding grain
In faith’s impress his hopes abide.
No impulse of (lie grafter’s creed
Can ever live where uature guides
The surging craft. No puerile deed
But that will die and mortal greed
Its festering spirit ever hides.
Oftime* misfortune’s blighting toll
Denudes his land and transient woes
Ensnare, but soon his ardent soul
Redeems itself and on the scroll
Is writ a challenge to his foes.
In keeping with the plans of God
That mortal at the sweat of brow
Must oil to live he bides the rod
And plys the course true men have
trod
Aeons agone behind the plow'.

that nervous, tight feeling was going, as
was the pain in my side. I found I did not
have to take it every night. Soon , after
a sow weeks, I could leave it off for a
week or so, and I did not suffer with
constipation... I gained flesh. 1 have a
good color, and believe H was a stubborn
liver, and that Black-Draught did the
work.
"I went to my mother's (Mrs. Deeters)
one day, aad she wasn't well at all. . . I
told her we’d try Black-Draught. We

It is eo simple, and the dose eaa be
