their party, and vote for the nominees,
rs a means OF securing lower tariff and
cheaper necessities. Like other great
undertakings the change from high to
low tariff and other democrat reforms
have been slow. but they are surely
taking place. Not until recently have
they been noticeable, but they may
now he seen on all sides. As result
manufactures are springing up every
where. laborers are more in demand,
wages are rising, tramps are reducing
in number, mills that were shut down
are starting up and business Of every
kind is improving. As proof OF this
statement we cite our readers to the
manufacturers, business men, mer-
chants, and mechanics of this county.
Ask the manufacturers if they are not
working larger force than for years
before, the business men if they are
not buster, the merchants il they
haven't larger stocks of goods and are
not selling them cheaper. and the me-
chanics it they are not pushed with
work. Think for yourselves and you
can not help being convinced that
such is the case. Vote for yourselves.

from high priced necessities, and the
Democratic nominees for Congress will
receive such majority in this county

The VI. T.. Church and PrOhibi-
tiOn Rev. DIR. Kynett OppO-
scs the Prohibition


At meeting of ministers of the
NJ. +. Church in Philadelphia this
week Rev. DIR. 4. J. kynett spoke
again in opposition TO the Prohibition
party. He believed in suppressing
the liquor traffic, but he had another
way Of DONG it than by third party
movement. He declared that the
General Conference had expressly and
formerly lisclaimed the third party
argument, but said he, sit has advised
the formation of leagues" and he ask
ell why those so DESTROYS of MARSHALL
ing the host against the traffic did not
help the league work instead of getting
up and advocating the matter by ask
ing that old political parties be for
saken and third joined. He said
bluntly that 'those who advocated the
the third party were seeking recruits,
not hosts for the suppression of the
traffic" Rev. DIR. George Elliott,
another noted Methodist Episcopal de-
vine said in opposition to the Prohibit
ton party church movement that at
was not in the province of the Church
to take the radical action suggested
by Prohibition Party advocates. He
declared that he would not vote for
any party which had no definite policy
of government. DIR. Elliott's address
was eloquent. and he tersely concluded:
"When q man comes TO me and SAYS
he has a receipt for the millennium in
his pocket | am inclined tn think that
man is crank"

A Good Word for Prune..

The fact, stated the other day by a
contemporary in letter to the
editor, of the writer's belief that the
daily eating of pruncs is preventive
of appendicitis, is an interesting one.
The letter cited the record of fruit
valley in California, whose rs, 600 resi-
dents should be in constant menace of
the trouble because of the continuous
fruit season and the habit OF eating
seeds. Yet not one, it was reported,
has ever had a symptom of appcn-
dicitis, and the correspondent, as has
been said, nscribes this immunity
to daily prune-eating. The gem
tly laxative property of this
fruit is well known, and it
is probably this action which
makes it of value. Its action on the
liver, too, is bene fetal, and it has be-
sides considerable nutritive excel
lence, making IT n valuable family
food. 1t is "A good plan to pre- pare
five or ten pounds at n time, saving
time and having it always ready. Let
the pruncs stand MT least four hours
in water enough to cover them. Then
put on in little cold water-just
enough to keep from burning and
stew very slowly, closely covered.
When done, and they should be
plump and tender at this stage, add
two pounds of sugar to five pounds of
fruit, and leave them on the stove for
perhaps fifteen minutes longer. Pack
in Jars and serve freely.

How to Treat Feathers.

White or light colored feathers can
be washed in benzine without losing
their curl or color. They should be
swung in the air until dry. Another
plan for white feathers is to wash
them in warm water and CASTLE soap,
rinse three times to remove fully all
the soap, pass through warm solu-
ton of oxalic acid and then lightly
starch. Dry in warm room by light
ly beating each feather against the
hand or near the fire. To curl ostrich
feathers have dull knife, with the
top followed out near the point, If
you are going to make a business of it.
Hold your feather over fire, but not
sufficiently near to scorch it, shaking
it gently until warm; then, holding
the feather in left hand, place the
fibre of the feather between the
thumb and knife edge, and draw it
along quickly, curling the end only.
If feathers are damp at any time the
curl may be retained by holding the
hat over the fire and waving it until
dry; then place in cool room for the
fibres to stiffcn. Feathers may also
be curlcd over a knife held near hot
ilatiron, the heat making the curl
more durable. A little blue in the
water in which white feathers are
washed improves the color.

Do Animals Love Fun,

There seems no reason to doubt it.
Monkeys are full OF frolic for its own
sake, and enjoy themselves most of all
when playing mischiovous jokes. Mr..
Romanes' terrier performed it's tricks
so consciously that when no one
praised 1t for them 1t used to become
quito sulky. A flock of geese have
been known to cause number ofpigs
to run the gauntlet between them,
merely to hear the squealing of the
porkers as they were bit at by the
birds.

Gsntism.n Brown.

Brown was simply q large dog. who
was so strong, so fearless, 20 intelli-
gent and so active In affairs that he
WAS considered the champion of the
town.
lie could thrash any dog round
about, and always did it when it was
necessary.
But he was extremely kind and be-
nevolent. He showed great kindness
to tramp dogs, and protected many d
little vagabond, and saw him safely
out of the town in good condition.
One day he brought a specially bad
specimen home with him. He cnme
into the house and into tho dining
room, where the family were at din
ner, the wretched little tramp dog at
his heels.
He looked up at his master, waggcd
his tail asking for something to eat.
A plate of food was set down and the
little dog snatchcd at it ravenously..
Brown seemed to think that was all
right. He did not offer to touch the
food. When the little dog was
through he asked Tor another plateful
and had his own dinner.
He kept the little dog for quite a
while, always permitting him to cat
first. At night he took the dog into
his kennel, himself sleeping outside.
He was not at all intimate with the
dog, but treated him as visitor, not
at any time as n friend. The tramp
finally went on his way, strong and
well, and as plump and sleek as any
dog need be. What was said between
these two dogs, both at meeting and
parting, would be very interesting to
