Fruit Diet for warm weather
-, ~. IyE


Let's have a little talk about orchards
and gardens, as. life-preservers. Many
"A farmer thinks he "can't fuss about
garden" with vegetables and small
fruits in ample variety, hardly an or
chard, especially beyond apple trees.
So he goes on 10 weightier matters Of
grain, or stock, or dairy, and eats Pota-
toes, wheat bread, pork and salt beef,
all summer long; no fine variety of
vegetables, no grateful berries, no lus-
cious peaches or juicy cherries. BY
October, fever comes, or bowel COM
plants of some kind, or some conges-
tive troubles, most likely, he IS LAID
up, work stops a month, the doctor
comes, and he "drags round" all win
ter, and the DOCTORS bill drags, too.
The poor wife, meanwhile, gets dys-
peptic, constipated, has fever, too, per-
haPs, and she 'just crawls round" :"
WHATS the matter? They don't know,
poor souls. Would they build hot
tire in July and shut the doors? OF
course not-In their rooms; but they
have done Just that in their poor stom-
achs. How SO? They have been eat
ing, all summer, the heat-producing
food, fit for a cold season, but not for II
warm one. A Greenlander can eat can
dies and whale fat, because they create
heat. In January we are up toward
Greenland-in climate.
A Hiudoo lives on rice, fruits juicy
and tropic vegetables coolng ana
opening to the system. In July we
move toward Hindostan, IN heat al
most tropical. Diet must change too.
Have apples. pears, cherries, &C.,
from the orchard, every day, of early
and late kinds. Let there be plenty of
good vegetables, raspberries, strawber-
ries, &c. It takes little time and
trouble, but its the cheapest way to
pay the DOCTORS bills. And bless your
dear souls, these things taste goodl
You study what feed is good for pigs
and cattle. All right; but wife and
children are of higher consequence;
and its a shame if, with all our great
gifts of intellect and intuition, we do
not obey the Divine Laws in our own
physical being so well that the doctor
shall visit the housed less than the horse
doctor goes te-the barn. Don't fail OF
vegetables, berries, and fruits. Try It,
and you'll say we haven't told hall
the truth.

Massachusetts, in 1900, and is, there
fore, sixty-seven years of age; but he Is
so hale, hearty and active, that he does
not look day over fifty. BE has not a
gray hair in his head, his mind is clear,
aud more Fetentive than it ever was,
and he can.still shoot rifle with al
most any man in the State. He fire.
quently goes hunting and fishing and
is very fond of the society of sportsmen-
The impression has prevailed that he
was coarse, ill-grained, hard-hearted
man, but never was there greater
mistake in the world. When in de-
bate, he is harsh and unmerciful to his
opponent, but when ''of duty" there is
no more genial, companionable or
agreeable man than Ben. Wade. He
is, in every sense of the word, an
honest man and despises a coward
or trickster. When enraged, he will
swear furiously, but is always
wrong he may unintentionally
do. He is strictly temperate man,
and-has never been known in his
whole life be to under the influence of
liquor. He has been a Senator at
Washington for seventeen years, and
was four years State Senator and
several years State Judge. His great
talent and unwavering honesty has
made him the lea Ter of his party in the
National Capitol, and last winter he
was chosen President of the Senate,
And acting Vice-President ofthe United
States. In the event of the death or re-
moval of President Johnson, Mr..
Wade would succeed him in Office.
His well-known ability and long expe-
reirce in public affairs has qualified
him to fill any position, and he has
hosts of friends all over the Union.
Many think he will be nominated for
the Presidency in 1865, and if he is, he
will make a strong run and we shall
give Tim our vote with pleasure, for we
really know of no one who would make
better President than simple-hearted
stout. minded, genial and honest old
Ben. Wade. S. II. P.

The Ives Grape.


This new variety, but recently
introduced by the vine growers OF
Cincinnati, was raised from seed
by Mr.. IVES, Of that city, and was
fruited by him for several years.
The vines grow with great vigor,
perfectly hariy, foliage large,
abundant, and resisted the attacks
Of tho mildcw.
1t proves 10 DO a prolific bearer,
bu lches otgood size, compact; and
commenced c)l9rins about the
first of August. By the 10th Of
the same month it was pronounced
fully ripe; whom Mr.. lvEs found
the Juice to be of dark blood col
or, and worry astringent to the taste.
He made few gallons of wine,
which, after keeping a proper
length of time, was decided to be
harsh, unpalataole and Of no value.
About this time, Colonel WAR
ING procured Of Mr. Ives a number
of vines, with a view to further ex
perimcnts. Ii, also malo wine OF
his first crop, with no better sue.
cess than that attained by Mr..
Ives. The next season (1S63)
Colonel Waring was with his regi.
ment in the South, but returned
home on n visit about the last of
Sept. or more than a month after
the suPp3seltimo ofripening Of the
Ives grape. He found the vines
hanging full of fruit, the berries
much shrivole | anl to his surprise,
greatly improved in quality. lie
at once male q few gallons of wine,
and when maturcd, it was passed
around for trial. Great was the
surprise and astonishment of all, in
havinga first class Burgundy wine
ofgrcat body and very refreshing.
Even the old German wine
drinkers, with all their prejudice
in favor Of the Fatherland, were
compelled to admit that they had
mover tasted bettor.
Thus by accident was the great
yalue ofthe "Ivos' discovered BY
Col. Waring, who was at once so.
licited for vines or cuttings by
hundreds of grape growers from
all parts of the country and be /,
said to his great honor, that be
gave frcoly at but nominal prices
Last season he had in bearing
two acres, for the first time. II,
sold the vino as goon as run from
the press TO "Longworth's Wine
Cellar" for $4,000, and ono of Tho
large vine growers Of tho East paiC
him $4,000 for cuttings from th,
same two acres ofyines.
One of the largest vino growers
back of Covington has planted dur
ing the last three years, 1900 Of th,
Ives vines at q cost Of $3.50 pc,
thousand.
Mr.. JouN S. SNiDER, had tho hon

this choice fruit at our latc uorti

ofthroo years growth in his vine

Democratic Nonsense.
TErnp, tha Wastarn Star

Democrats contend that the result of
adopting the pending amendment to the
Constitution of Ohio will be to place the
negro and the white man on ~ social
equality. No greater nonsense was ever
entertained. Because the honest man
and the dishonest man vote at the same
polls does it follow that the two are
placed on social equality? Because
the gentleman and the blackleg vote at
the same polls does il follow that the
two are placed on a social equality
Does it follow that the gentleman must
invite the blackleg to his parlOr or to his
table? Certainly not.
And looking at the matter from the
Democratic stand-point-even admitting
that the negro stands as low in the scale
of respectability as the blackleg-even
taking this british view OF t. Q subject,
we would ask any honest Democrat in
what way he will be reduced to the level
of either merely because both vote? The
backleg votes now, but the Democrat is
not compelled to invite him into his
family circle. And so when the neglo
votes, the Democrat will not be cOmpell-
ed to invite him into his family circle.
The question of social equality is not
involved. There will be social distinc-
! tons so long a5 there are honest and dis
! honest people, coarse and refined, bad
! and goOd--and these distinctions will
not be in any way effected by mere vo-
! ting.
But if it ,Oere question affecting the
| social relations of Democrats and negroes
/ --ifthe participation i'll voting by both
classes aOoutd bring them both to u social
equality-if this ,Oere the case, as Demo
Gratis contend, then we think Democrats
would not be alone in protesting against
it, for while they would object TO having
negroes brought up to their status the
negroes would decidedly objectto being
! brought dO,on to a level with copper
heads. So that in that case there woulC
he mutual dissatisfaction.
But 1t is not social question. 1t is {
