With 700,000 members in tho United
States, It would seem altogether un
necessary to ask or answer the question.
But this paper may come under tho
cyo of someone who is not familiar with
Its aims and principles. It is an organ
ization of farmers for their mutual wel
fare. Among tho specific objects
named in its declaration of purposes arc
those: To develop a better and higher
manhood and Womanhood among our
selves; to enhance tho comforts and at
tractions of our homes; to further co
operation; to buy less and produce
more In order to make our farms self
ustainlng; to bring producers and con
sumers, farmers and manufacturers into
tho most direct and friendly relations
possible. The grange Is nonpartisan,
ret Its principles underlie all true poll
tics and statesmanship. It believes In
farmers cooperating together In every
legitimate manner for their own protec
tion and to enhance their mutual inter
ests. The order Is called tlje "Patrons or
Husbandry" and tho head of the Na
tional Grange Is Hon. Aaron Jones, of
South Bend, Ind. Twenty-eight states
havo state organizations. Below them
are the county organizations called Po
mona granges and below these are tho
numerous subordinate granges. Meet
ings are held of these subordinate
granges once a month or oftener, where
subjects pertaining to tho farmers' In
ter Rsts, social, educational and agri
cultural, are discussed. Women are on
an equality with men In the grange and
to them not a little of the wonderful buc
ccss of tho organization is due. Its
purpose may be stated In a word to bo:
To uplift the farmer morally, socially,
educationally and materially.
GnuiK'c Fire IiiNiirunce. '
A recent compilation of these statis
tics, made by the American Agricultur
ist, shows that at the time these, re
ports were made there was a total of
$11D,G79,000 in grange Insurance. New

9,833 policies; Michigan is third, with
$12,000,000 insurance. In Michigan
there are 20 grange companies, show
ing an average rat'o during their time of
existence of 90 cents cost on each $1,000.
In Now York stato there are about 150
farmers' mutual companies, of which 22
are strictly grange. Some of these com
panies carry as high as $9,000,000, and
only two less than $1,000,000 In risks.
A Foundation I'rliicliilp.
"To develop a better and higher man
hood and womanhood among ourselves"
is one of the foundation principles of
tho grange. When we begin to look
around us to seo how we can lighten
tho burden on some other shoulders,

LA GRIPPE Is epidemic catarrh. It
spares no class or nationality. The
cultured and the Ignorant, the aristocrat
and tho pauper, the masses and tho class
es aro allko subject to la grippe. None
are exempt all are liable.
Have you tho grip? Or, rather, has
tho gTlp got you? Grip Is well named.
Tho original French term, la grippe,
has been shortened by the busy Ameri
can to read "grip." Without Intending
to do so a new word has been coined
that exactly describes tho case. As If
some hideous giant with awful Gnu had
clutched us in Its fatal clasp. Men,
women, and children, whole towns and
cities arc caught in tho baneful grip of a
terrible monster.

DruBiflat and Clerk Are Held In Hall
for Court.
Charged with infringing upon the trade
mark of Carter's Little Liver Pill Com
pany, Joseph T. (Jrillith, a druggist at the
southeast corner of Eleventh and Vine
Btreets, was held in $500 bail for Court
this afternoon by Magistrate .Jermon, and
at the same time Gnllith's cleric, .Joseph
C. Fore, was held in $800 bail tor Court on
the Baine charge, and also for selling cer
tain articles the sale of which is prohibited
by Inw.
The men were arrested this morning

race, New York, reniesentatives of the
Carter Company. Tliey stated that the
latter had spent $3,01)U,000 in advertising
and getting their label known, and did not
purpose to permit others to reap the bene
fits. The label in question is a small one con
taining a large letter L, and the one used
by Griffith is an exact cony, except that it
docs not contain Carter s name.
The prosecution showed how easily the
imitation product could he palmed off on
the would-be purchaser of farter's pills,
owing to the similarity of the labels, ami
held that it was evidence of a deliberate
attempt to deceive Philadelphia. Tele
