authority as Mr.. Bryan that the plat
form Of the "allied forces in 1900
will be the same as in 1896. The
statement is Of considerable interest
and directly challenges an inquiry as
to the nature Of the speeches and edi-
torials that will be given to the pub
lie to uphold the platform and its can
didates. We afe not SO far away from
the last national campaign as to have
forgotten the arguments Of those
days. The editorials and speeches
still exist in the records and the ques-
ton as to how the free silver advo-
Gates will patch up their talks Of 1896
to make them consistent with present
conditions is a live one. They assured
the farmers at that time that prices
could not advance without an increase
in the currency through the free coin
age Of silver. Free coinage was not
adopted, yet practically alliarm prod.
ucts have advanced. Their frequent
assertion in attempting to account
for the improved conditions OF the
agriculturists has been that it is due
solely to the fact that there is an ex'
traordinary demand abroad for Amer
lean wheat, by reason Of shortage in
foreign crops.
In this they ignore the fact that
practically every article produced by
the farmer has advanced meantime.
Wool, for instance, which was worth
is cents a pound when Mr.. Bryan was
nominated, is now worth 20 cents.
Potatoes have more than doubled in
price. Beef, which on July |, 1896,
was worth $3.50 per barrel in New
York markets, is now worth $lO; mess
pork has advanced from 1926 to 1915.
Beef carcasses in Chicago, which were
worth 81 cents when Mr.. Bryan OBJ
truded his borrowed crown Of thorns
and cross Of gold upon the unsus-
pecting Chicago convention, are now
worth cents in the same market,
and hogs, which were then worth 81
cents, are now worth 81 cents. Horses
which then averaged in the Chicago
markets $65 are now quoted at $50.
Beeves on foot per hundred were
then $4.65, now $500; sheep then 81,
now $3.50; flour, which was then
50. %, is now $4.25. Rye has advanced
from 81! cents at that time to %
cents; barley from 80 cents to AGENTS
per bushel; oats from 2ls cents to
2S4 cents; beans from $l.25 to $l.40
per bushel; onions from $3.50 at that
time to $3.50 per bushel; bacon from
Az to 5 cents in Chicago markets; lard
from 4 is at that date to cents on
January /, 1898; dried hides from II
to 20 cents; flax from 1926 to 1925;
hops from 7 cents per pound to IL
cents; tobacco from II to 10y cents
per pound.
And SO on through the list, scarcely
a single article Of farm produce hav-
ING failed to make a material advance.
It will be well for the silver orators to
examine into this subject before they
attempt to make further use OF their
arguments or the platform which were
so effective in the campaign Of 1896.

FRUITS FOR THE TABLE.
Mrs. Rorer Tells the Best Kinds-How
They Should he Served.

hfrs. Rorer Tells the Best Kinds-How
| They Should BE Served.
Fruits are more appetizing and, per-
haps, more easily digested if taken in
the early part of the day-whether or
not before the breakfast must be de-
| termined by the eater.
Grapes, oranges and shaddocks may
be served before the cereal. Baked ap-
pies, peaches, baked bananas, figs dates
prunes or stewed fruits should be served
at the close of the breakfast.
Raisins sultanas, dried figs and
| prunes should be soaked thoroughly, 30
that they may take up the same amount
Of water with which they have parted
In the process of drying, and should
then be heated just enough to soften the
skins.
The subacid fruits, such as apples,
| figs, dates, peaches persimmons pears,
prunes and apricots, are, perhaps, the
best Of the winter fruits and may be
| used to good advantage with animal
foods.
Acid fruits must at all times be used
! most sparingly, especially by persons
inclined to rheumatic troubles. The
, continued use Of an orange or shaddock
before breakfast will diminish the pow
er Of stomach digestion, for which rea.
son they should be served with cereals
or such foods as require only intestinal
digestion.
The papaw and pineapple belong to a
class alone. They contain n vegetable
pepsin which assists in the digestion Of
the nitrogenous principles. These fruits,
then, may be served with meats and
will aid in their digestion. When served
with bread and butter, they do not form
so good diet. They are more digestible
raw than cooked, as the heat destroys
the activity of the ferments
Apples as a rule are more easily di.
gested cooked than raw, although raw
apples are more palatable.
The fashion of adding sugar to fruits
should be avoided, as they have already
been endowed with sufficient amount
Of sugar, and as all the starch and cere-
ais are converted into sugar any further
amount would be stored in the system,
to its detriment. If our bilious friends
would throw aside their liver pills and
with them sugar, they might be free
from much discomfort Mrs. S. I.

The nose is the most prominent Of the
human features. For beauty or ugliness,
much depends upon the nose. A red
nose, crooked nose, swelled nose,
disfgure the face as nothing else can.
People who can afford it, spend thous.
ands of dollars to have the slightest ir.
regularity of the nose corrected. Doctors
frequently discuss this important subject
in public and private.
DIR. Hartman he's always contended
that the most frequent cause for de-
formed noses is chronic nasal catarrh.
Catarrh irritates and congests the nose.
This leads to frequently blowing the
nose, which further irritates it, causing
itching, which is partially relieved by
rubbing or scratching. This is sure to
twist the nose slightly to one side or the
other, or enlarge it slightly; sometimes
producing nose closely resembling
"rum blossom" The only cure for such
a case is a cure for chronic nasal catarrh.
Many hundred cases have been cured by

THINKING ALOUD.
A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley and
Formed Friendship.

Formed q Friendship.
One of the earls Of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice of thinking
aloud, found himself in a very awkward
predicament ON certain occasion, If a
story told of him may be credited. He
was to spend the evening at the house
of friend and ordered his carriage
early, as he had long drive back to his
own home.
When the hour arrived, the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that Lord
Dudley was considerably annoyed by
the delay, one of the guests whose way
homeward lay past his lordship's house,
politely offered him seat in his car
riage. The gentleman was almost a
stranger to Lord Dudley, but the offer
was accepted.
The drive did not prove very So.
oiable one Lord Dudley took his seat
and Immediately relapsed into silence,
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject, Presently he
began to speak in low, but distinctly
audible tone of voice. and his compan.
ion, to his astonishment, heard him say :;
"I'm very sorry accepted his offer.
don t know the man. 1t was civil GER
tainly, but the worst is | suppose
must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon the
same unpleasant subject when the voice
of his companion broke the stiffness.
Apparently this stranger was afflicted
with the same malady from which his
lordship suffered, for he exactly imitat.
ed Lord Dudley's tone as he said:
Perhaps he'll think did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, l would have
done the same to any farmer ON his
estate. l hope he won't ask me to din
ner, for l shan't accept his invitation"
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the others words,
Immediately comprehending the joke
against himself, and frankly offered his
hand to his companion, making many
apologies for his involuntary rudeness.
The stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends. Youths Companion.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 12.-Wnen asked
his opinion on the subject of the first
days balloting in the Ohio senatorial
situation Senator Foraker said:
1t seems to me that Ohio has spoken
for herself and that there is not much
more else to say.
The contest has been extraordinary
in many respects and all who have
the good Of the party at heart must be
glad that it is ended. The feeling
that has been aroused has been very
bitter, but trust that natural condi-
tons will soon obtain and that u

deplorable.
