Taylor said this was more than we
ought to ask. We would not want
to pledge our man for Dubois. He
would rather have first choice.
Fletcher urged the forcing the
democrats to stay by the contract
made by the state conventions. He
said he would be in favor Of Dubois
if he had voted for the tariff bill and
had left the silver question for later on
Hartley said the populist party in
Idaho had arrayed its national com
mittee against itself, and now it
ought to do it's best to unite all par
ties on the paramount issue Of silver,
but he wanted first choice.
Thomas said he wanted to bind the
democratic party to its agreement.
Mr.. Robertson said he was in favor,
if the populists could not get what
had been promised them, of manning
and setting the sails of the old ship
and unfurling the straight populist
banner, even il it meant defeat
Taylor said it was wrong to attempt
to bind any man up to who he should
vote for for senator in the Legislature.
Mr.. Shearer said, if an outsider
might speak he would say that the
other two parties did not ask any
pledge from the popuist Legislative
candidate and why ask them for a
pledge? The matter should be left
alone and let the Legislature elect
whom it saw fit.
Utley's motion was then put and
carried.

WHY ONE FEELS CHILLY WHEN
LYING DowN.-The reason is simply
this: Nature takes the time when
one is lying down to give the heart
rest, and that organ consequently
makes 10 strokes less a minute than
when one is in an upright posture.
Multiply that by 60 minutes, and it is
600 strokes. Therefore, in eight hours
spent in lying down, the heart is saved
nearly 5000 strokes, and as the heart
pumps six ounces of blood with each
stroke, it lifts $4,000 ounces less of
blood in night Of eight hours spent
in bed than when one is in an upright
position. AS the blood flows so much
more slowly through the veins when
one is lying down, one must supply
then with extra coverings the warmth
usually furnished by circulation

This year we offer three big premiums. One

Another Is q SEVENTY-FlNED DOLLAR Oh
GAN, and the third is FIFTY DOLLAR
WAGON. The Buggy will go to the clubmaker
who gets up the largest list of subscribers, new
and old The Wagon will go to the clubmaker
who gets up the second largest list, new and
old :; and the Organ will go to the clubmaker
whose total list shall show up the largest
number OF NEW NAMES. The organ contest,
however, will be separate and distinct from
the other contest, In that the winner OF this
premium will still have the right to count his
enlire club. including both old and new
names, in the contest for the Buggy or Wagon.
To be more explicit. It is possible TINT the
clubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be
the winner of either the Wagon or the Buggy.
IL is also possible that the Organ may be won
with less than 20 names, together with one
of the smaller premiums.

At Apples REFORE RETIRING

EAT APPLES BEFORE RETIRING
Everybody ought to know that the
very best thing he can do is to eat ap-
Piles just before going to bed. The
apple has remarkably efficacious med
icinal properties. 1t is an excellent
brain food, because it has more phos'
phoric acid in easily digested shape
than other fruits. 1t excites the action
of the liver, promotes sound and
healthy sleep and thoroughly disin-
fects the mouth. 1t helps the kidney
secretions and prevents calculous
growths, while it relieves indigestion,
and is one of the best preventives
known for diseases of the throat. No
harm can come to even a delicate sys-
TEN by the eating of ripe and juicy
apples before retiring for the night

OATS AS A FEEDING RATION.

One of the benefits which may
come from the great abundance and
low price of oats the present season,
says The Breeders Gazette, is the
probability of their more general use
upon the farm. Some yet hold to the
old idea (much to their own loss) that
this grain was created for the special
use of horses. One hundred pounds
of oats contains about 81 pounds of por-
teine, A pounds carbohydrates, and 4
pounds of fat. Compared with corn,
oats are from IL to IA per cent. richer
in proteine, which is the food that
builds up the muscles; 80 per cent.
poorer in carbohydrates, which build
up the fat of the body and are convert
ed into energy, and 20 per cent. lower
in oil, which serves the same purpose
as the carbo. o.hydrates. Having less
carbohydrates and oil than corn, oats,
with their large amount of proteine,
come nearer being a balance ration in
themselves than does that grain.
If we were to burn 100 pounds Of
oats and 100 pounds of corn, there
would remain but II pounds of ash
residue from the corn, while oats would
give twice as much, or three pounds.
1t is in proteine, which goes to
build up the muscular system, and
ash, which forms such large part Of
the bone structure, that this grain
stands out conspicuous among the pro-
ducts of the farm. Many feeders con-
slider that the density with which the
food material is packed away in corn
works against that grain in feeding,
and that great advantage may be de-
rived by "diluting" the corn so that it
will not pack the stomach. They find
ear corn fed with the husks on, or
ground with the cob, superior to eth
er shelled corn or corn meal, not be-
cause of the value of the husk or cob
particularly but. because they extend
or tighten up the feed. The husk Of
oats, which certainly cannot be con-
sidered as having value, seems to play
an important part in feeding-much,
perhaps as the husk or cob does with
the corn. So valuable is the husk Of
the oat when surrounding the grain,
that all attempts to introduce varieties
free from it have proved futile.

A CURE For SoUEAK1NG SHEARS.

A CURE For SoUEAKING SHEARS
Standing in a prominent hardware
store the other day, the stroller watch
ed a lady purchase pair of shears.
She decided upon the size and style
desired and tried four or five pairs,
rejecting them all because, she said,
they all "squeaked." But she was f.
nally suited with a pair that didn't
squeak" and went her way. AS the
accepted pair happened to be one OF
those first refused, the salesman was
asked how the metamorphosis was eff,
fected. "That," said he, 'is one of
the very simplest secrets of the man
who sells shears. Observe this" He
picked up a pair of scissors which
squeaked" woefully when worked.
Then he ran his forefnger thought
fully down the side of his nose and
rubbed it over the scissors, which came
together as gently and noiselessly as
though saturated with oil.
"That's all there is of it," he said.
"You see, there is always little oil
collected in the corners outside of your
nostrils. Scrub your nose as hard as
you will, the oil will be back there in
five minutes. So when customer
comes in, tries a pair of shears and
complains that they squeak and come
together hard, we can oil them up and
make them run smooth withing excit-
ing suspicion. What was the oil put
on the nose for? To help the hard
ware men out, suppose. But then
what I have told you is good thing
for all nervous people who don't like
squeaky shears to know."-Chicago
Journal.
