When a child sulks drowsily, or It
fretful, It Is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative Is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use of k gentle,
effective laxative stimulant Is indi-
cated, many of the best rhyslcians are
how prescribing Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted*
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In Its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
ics and purgative waters.. It is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
atomach, liver and bowels. Its easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case of children, a dose
at bed-time being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at-
tendant unplep.3antness or discomfort.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in 50c and
$1.00 bottles. If you hare never tried
this splendid remedy, write to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Mon-
ti cello. 111., for a sample. He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with-
out any expense to you whatever.

To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers' Union:
One of the evils menacing America
today, and least understood in its serl
ousness, is that of indiscriminate im-
migration. As It Is, the country is
full enough of different cltlrens. Yet
through Ellis island, and other entry
ports, we continue each year to pile
up an accumulation of diverse nation-
alities that never can or will be as-
similated by our people. To restrict
the laws, and construct sehgible bar-
riers is the task to which we Bhould
address ourselves, and no class is
more directly Interested in It than the
farmer.
I have no sympathy with the old
"know-nothing" contingent In America,
which used to pride itself on the slo-
gan. "America for Americans only,"
and excuse Ignorance or sloth on the
flimsy pretext of patriotism. Neither
would I put an inflexible embargo up-
on entrance Into this country. Ever
since we set up in business as a repub-
lic America has been an asylum for
the oppressed of all lands. They have
looked toward the Statue of Liberty as
symbolizing all that is good and hope-
ful and Inviting to those who failed,
from some cause to secure a "square
dial" In their own countries.
Ilut I do recognize that we have a
definite duty to perform not only to
the present generation, but equally to
those who are to follow us. If we al-
low Ignorant, unfit, diseased immi-
grants. or those with no respect for
our Institutions and with inability to
assimilate our ideals—to come in
without let or challenge, and to occupy
the land like a swarm of locusts, we
ahall be working poorly for the Ameri-
cans of tomorrow.
America has been called the melt-
ing-pot of the world. In that It receives
Into Its capacious spaces hordes from
I almost every nation, melting them ln-
j to a common substance and turning
them out Americans. But Industrial
| troubles—cropping out on the farms
as well as in the great labor centers—
I warn us that there is such a thing as
overcrowding the melting pot, such a
i thing as throwing into it ingredients
I that will not mix with the best and
j most enduring elements of American
| citizenship.

terminedly with their congressmen,
can exert a beneficial Influent in pro-
| duclng the right kind of immigration

Farmers' organizations all over the
country are studying the problema'of
how farmers can get their products in-
to the homes of consumers without
leaving half or more of the pecuniary
returns in the hands of the middle-
men.
In the west the matter of co-opera-
tion In marketing farm produce has
made good progress. Producers are
uniting to send their vegetables and
other produce to the city, where a
man In the employ of the organisation
distributes the commodities to the re-
tailers. That agent receives a salary.
A great saving has resulted in most
cases in which that plan has been
tried, the farmers getting more for
their products and the consumer get-
ting his vegetables, butter and egga
at a lower price.
A Colorado farmer in describing the
conditions which ^formerly existed
said: "I shipped cantaloupes to Den-
ver which sold In the city for $1.10 a
crate. For that shipment I received
less than 50 cents a crate, out of
which I had to pay 12 cents for the
crate. By the time the middlemen got
through with my product they had re-
ceived nearly two-thirds of Its value.
I labored from April until August to
produce my crop and then handled It
in 24 hours.
"One year the farmers of my com-
munity shipped $200,000 worth of can-
taloupes. Of this amount the middle-
man received $120,000 and the farm-
ers $80,000. This Is not only true of
cantaloupes, but almost every other
crop the farmer grows, whenever the
middleman, especially the commission
dealers and the transportation compa-
nies, must handle It.
"I shipped tomatoes In baskets con-
taining 20 pounds. On the city mar-
ket they brought 75 cents a basket.
The express company and the commis-
sion men together received 30 cents,
leaving me 35 cents net, I being
obliged to pay ten cents for each bas-
ket. The middlemen handled those
tomatoes in one day. 1 labored six
months to produce them, besides being
obliged to have lands, fertilizer, tools
and many other things to produce the
crop."
By co-operation the profits of the
middleman are eliminated and at the
same time better transportation rates
can be secured by a united body than
when each shipper acts as an Individ-
ual.
In some parts of New York state, In
Ohio and the middle west great quan-
tities of butter are produced in co-
operative creameries. The companies
are composed of the farmers and dairy-
men of a given section, who take their
milk to the creamery, where an expert
butter maker prepares it for market.

Barn Door Hangers.
The stock of the company is divided
among the farmers and after the but-
ter is sold and all tbe expenses paid
the profits are divided according to
the holdings of the stockholders. The
directors of those creameries are now
considering a new plan of marketing
the output.
Heretofore the butter haa been mar-
keted through the large city commis-
sion houses. Many of the stockholders
have regretted to see part of the pro-
ceeds from the sale of the butter go
into the hands of the commission
dealers, holding that all the profits
should be divided between the stock-
holders and the consumers.
A plan la now on foot among many
of those co-operative creameries which
ia to be tried out this summer where
by the commission dealer Is to be elim-
inated. The Idea now being worked
out is to unite a large number ot
creameries for the marketing of the
output. Directors are to be named,
who. like all the other officers of the
individual companies, are to act with-
out pay. They are to employ a com-
petent, experienced man to have
charge of the receiving and distribut-
ing end of the business in the city. He
ia to do the work now done by the
commission men, only acting as an
employe of the united creameries.
Each creamery will retain Its lnde
pendence and individuality under the
new Bystem. merely uniting with the
others for the sale of the products and
for such other benefits as may accrue.
The earnings from such an arrange-
ment would be divided pro rata among
tbe creameries, according to the num-
ber of pounds produced.
The project has been discussed for
nearly a year and is meeting with
great favor among the united dairy-
men. The promoters of the plan say
there is no limit to the possibilities of
saving, once a merger has been
formed. The salesman is to not only
sell the butter, but being the repre-
sentative of a large number of cream-
eries. each one of which has from
twenty-five to a hundred stockholders,
he will be in a position to buy feed
and other supplies for farmers' needs
at an advantageous price.
If the plan Is successful It will mean
a very material lessening In the cost
of creamery supplies for the consumer
and when the united creameries pro-
ject Is on a successful basis the plan
may be extended to other branchea of
the marketing of agricultural prod-
ucta.
