The Tyranny of tho Desk.

We will suppose that your occupa- ton is sedentary you are chained,
 so to speak, to the desk in some count ing house, or perhaps to the loom in some vast mill where you are com pelled to labor from morning till night. Sunday is your only day of relaxation.
 You return home every evening wear jed mentally and bodily. Your health and strength begin to fail. What will most effectually recuperate your vital energy? The weight of evidence points to no other conclusion than that Hostetterg Stomach Bitters is your safest, most reliable sheet anchor. Use it persistently, and your system will soon regain its pristine vigor. Every function will receive healthful i'm pulse. There is no remedy to equal the Bituers for nervousness and want of sleep, dyspepsia, constipation and biliousness. 1t avcrts and remedies all forms of malarial disease, and is pre- ventiye of rheumatism and neuralgia.

BRYAN CLUB.
A Large Meeting Held Last Evening at
the Silver Wigwam.

The Bryan Silver club held meeting
at the wigwam last evening and not
withstanding the fact that but one day
interviewed between it and the Mcguire
meeting Wednesday night, there were
fully $500 people present.
magnificent program was presented
and thoroughly enjoyed by the people,
President Moye G. Norton called the
meeting to order.
The national song, America, was then
sung by the audience standing. The
Bryan Silver club quartet followed.
They rendered beautiful song entitled,
The Mill Wheel, in magnificent STYLE the
duet portion by the barytone and tenor
voices being especially fine. The ap-
plause the singers received was ire
mendous and they responded to the en-
core by singing She May Have Seen
Better Days. The audience insisted on
third song but upon President Norton
explaining that the program was too
long, the boys were allowed to depart
The quartet consists of S. M. Raymond,
first tenor; j. Fl. Dunn, second tenor; w.
X. Slayter, barytone, and H. Lloyd bass.
The Salyer children rendered the
song, We Want Free Silver an original
campaign song by Prof. Salyer, in their
inimitiable styld and were loudly ap-
plauded.
Hon. George S. Patton and Judge S. S.
Wright were the speakers of the evening
and held thee lub in attendance until a
late hour. Considering that the Bryan
club is but temporary organization, it's
meetings are such as any of the political
parties might be proud of.
The meeting adjourned until next Fri
day evening, when an equally entertain
ing and enthusiastic time may be ex-
pected.

The following letter is self-explana-

S. i. Fulton, Secretary Peoples Party.

Dear Sir: We will have to ask your
indulgence for the delay in forwarding
your speeches. We have received orders
up to this time for something over mil
lion copies of the speech, which fact in
itself, is enough to take our capacity.
In addition to this the express COM
panies have been doing everything they
possibly could to make trouble for us.
They have changed their rates on us as
high as three times day, each change
giving them an opportunity to hold the
goods.
With the assistance of the Chicago
Newspaper union we have finally per-
fected arrangements by which we will
be able to fill orders with our usual
promptness.
We feel that when you understand the
situation, you will not blame us, and we
hope you will have no reason for further
complaint. Yours very truly,

Frost Protection.
Clinton, Iowa

Although the California Press and
Horticulturist of Riverside Cal, just
after the December freeze claimed that
the cold snap amounted to but little,
that journal is devoting considerable
space just now to a discussion of frost
protection. We clip the following edi-
torial from a recent ISSUE. -
The discussion in our columns regard
ing methods of frost protection has natu-
rally attracted much attention, both at
home and abroad. The Florida people
are now a-days ready to accept the be-
lief that no territory within the United
States is so absolutely free from frost
danger as to make the question one they
can afford TO ignore. Southern Califor-

Buncoed the Editors.

During the visit of the National Edi-
torial Association recently says the
Citizen, number of good stories gained
currency, regarding tricks that had been
played upon the ladies, and some of the.
editors in the party.
While at Palm Beach, some boys
were looking for small stones, called
''eye stones". When several ladies of
the editorial party approached and
asked what the boys were searching for,
the boys replied: "Opals," at the same
time exhibiting small pebble. The
ladies were on the beach more than
four hours afterward hunting for
"opals"
The best trick played was that of two
tourists at Fort Pierce. The tourists
had two Indians get an ox-cart load of
oranges, and place them near the sta
ton. They then had the train stopped,
so that editorial wise-acres could buy
the sour and wild oranges at two cents
each. This trick yielded 1926. Is profit
from the tourists.
While in the extreme south, several
tarpon were exhibited to the ladies as
specimens of Florida shad. The ladies
remarked that they were somewhat
larger than shad in the North.
Several colored boys were heard in,
forming an elderly lady that chameleons
were young alligators. The lady was
much interested until disillusioned.
All kinds of scrub palmetto was
bought and carried home by the ladies.
II the stories that accompanied the
palmetto leaves are believed, the ladies
who purchased them will proudly ex-
hibit them as banana, pineapple, and
other tropical plants. The colored boys
who were unable to sell corn-stalks for
sugar-cane, passed 1t off for bamboo.

sALTING AND WORKING.
Some butter makers salt in the churn
A good way is to remove the butter to q
bowl or butter worker, then sift on the
salt through sieve. The best quality
of salt should be used. One of the indi.
cations of good salt is readiness to melt,
Col. T. D. Curtis, who is eminent au.
thorlty, says the salt should melt in but.

Let the butter stand after sailing till
the salt has been dissolved and the grain
of the butter has become more firm.
Then work just enough to get out the

If butter is over-wCrked the granules

Injuries the grain.
Use neat packages and consult at all
times the requirements of the market.
When introducing new packages have a
kind so attractive, and at same time not
too expensive, that they will tend to
create demand for your butter.
Packages ranging in sizes from one to
ten pounds, made of wood veneers, or
sheet wood saturated with parafine, are
very popular wherever introduced. The
latter kind seems to be greatly in favor
at the present time. A box holding five
pounds is the size mainly preferred.
Some private dairymen print their but
terand find it pays them to do so. An
attrac tive package or folm aids greatly
to the selling value of butter.
THE BEST BUTTER CAN BE MADE IN PRI-
vATE DIARIES.
That the best quality can be made In
private dairies there can hardly be a
doubt. Because, as before stated, all
the conditions are there directly under
control of the maker, while only a por-
tion of the conditions can be under con-
troll Of the maker at the butter factory
or public creamery.
The farmer that does his own work
gets pay for it instead of having share
of what his butter sells for 60 to the
maker at the factory. Then again his
products, such as skim milk and butter
milk are in the best possible condition.
Further he gets all the benefit that
comes from conducting every step cor
rectly instead of dividing it with less
thorough patrons, as he would should he
patronize factory. This is true to a
certain extent even where milk or cream
is taken at the factory on the basis of

us that there should some way be found
to protect it from injury. The problem

hours, the appliances heretofore in use
in a sporadic way would, If generally
used, insure safety. Oranges can stand
% degrees for hours at time without
harm, and it is known that climate
where the danger line is occasionally
reached is the one where the highest
favored fruit is grown. Italy and Spain
have always been subject to the same
danger as we find here, and yet the in
dustry has prospered, and, in spite of
occasional losses. furnished inducement
for the investment Of capital in large
amount from abroad. When the III
dividual orchards in Italy are small in
area, they often cover them in
winter with mating to insure
safety. Nothing in a large way seems
to be attempted, however, for this pur-
pose. Whether Americans can devise
plan, adapted to use here that will be
feasible in case of a severe frost remains
to be seen. Some of the suggestions
thus far offered are certainly impracti-
cable, notable the idea of individual
tree protectors, which, even if not too
expensive, would require so much time
and labor in using as to prevent use.

seriously threatened before the freeze in
Florida, which temporarily put that
State out of competition, as factor no
sensible man will ignore. The acreage
now planted in California, when in
bearing, can very nearly supply the
American markets, and when Florida
shall again be in the field, it will not be
likely that orange growers will obtain
profits such as have prevailed in the
past, and which have tempted such excess
sive planting. If one could depend upon
an income of $500 or $500 an acre net per
annum from an orchard he could safely
venture pretty heavy investments to
protect it. That the next few years will
furnish good markets, and fair prices
if the business of marketing be not
ruined by the fruit brokers, as now
threatens-there is little question. But
ultimately the great production will
bring the business to a par with
most other callings, and therefore
the plans to secure frost immunity
must not ignore the point of economy.
Whether the use of water in shallow
heated tanks,as suggested by one writer,
will effect very much more than numer-
GUS fires is something for practical dem
onstration. If the trouble with fires is
that "you can't heat all out of DOORS"
the question naturally arises if the steam
generated will not rise like the heated
air and be so diluted in the immense
body of cool air as to effect little good
locally. Theoretically the plan is sound,
but how numerous and therefore ex-
pensive such appliances must be-, q test
