Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use
your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family

Yours very truly,

It will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc
ru-na for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin
with cold. Using Pe-ru-na to prompt
ly cure colds, he protects his family
against other ailments. This is exactly
what every other family in the United
States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
house. Use it for coughs, colds, Ia
grippe, and other climatic affections of

Hair Receipts.

An excellent bandoline for the hair
is made by adding three-fourths ounce
of gum tragacanth to one pint of rose
water. Let it stand 48 hours shaking
it frequently, then strain through
coarse linen cloth; add to it one-haf
drachm oil rosemary. Dampen the
hair with it, arrange it in the position
in which you wish it to lie, and when
dry it will remain so. Another bando-
line is made by soaking one-half dozen
ounce seed in two tablespoonfuls Of
water two or three hours. The seed
may be removed and the water used.
This is better when fresh, and may be
prepared whenever it is needed.
A tonic for stimulating the scalp,
and causing the hair to grow, is made
of eight ounces of cologne, one ounce
cantharides, and one-half drachm oil
of rosemary. Apply it once day, rub
bling it into the roots Of the hair. Qul-
nine dissolved in whisky is good also.
The hair cannot grow nicely nor be
soft and glossy as nature intended, un-
less it is kept clean. A thorough wash
ing is necessary once or twice month.
Add a heaping teaspoonful Of borax
to half gallon of water, and use
enough soap to make a strong lather.
Wash with sponge, parting the hair
and rubbing the scalp until clean.
Rince the hair and let it hang loose
until dry. Camphor and borax, dis
solved in boiling water and left to cool,
make good wash for the hair. Borax
cleanses the hair and leaves it soft and
silky. When it becOn es thoroughly
dry little pomatum or oil should be
rubbed in to supply the oil that is lost
in washing.
Wear cap when you have dusty
work to do. Perhaps you do not con-
slider it handsome head dress, but it
protects the hair, and thus helps to i'm
prove it's appearance.-Ex.

Florida Railway berry section, and to
indicate that the fruit arrived in a re-
frigerator car, the company got up
handsome label, which has been past
ed on each end of all of the crates that
have gone forward. 1t has been as
certained that buyers have since
sought for crates with these labels on
them, knowing that the condition Of
the fruit was superior The growers
were given these labels by the railway
company.
The rates on the Georgia Southern
and Florida during the past season
were so low that the growers were
enabled to continue shipping to dis
tant points about ten days later than
from any other section of Florida.
With the r. g. & P. r. r. transfer

methods in relation to producers along

July Gardening.

In the central south July and the
first half Of August is considered the
best time for sowing turnip and ruta-
baga seed for crops for winter use.
Cabbage seed for late fall maturity is
also sown. Seed of these should be
obtained and kept on hand awaiting
a favorable opportunity for sowing.
Too many wait until there is a favor
able season in the ground" and then
send off for the seed. The season may
he gone before the seed arrives, and
planting may have to be deferred for
weeks. Seed should be in hand so
that favorable opportunities may be
taken advantage of.
In sowing turnip and cabbage at
this time of the year the reader must
remember that it will take about twice
the amount of seed to produce a GER
tain number of plants as it does in
the spring. The extreme heat at this
season is not favorable to full ger
minatiOn of seeds of this character.
Cabbage should always be sown in
shaded beds or boxes at this time.
Unless protected we'll from the sun
the plants will scald
In turnips there are three causes of
failure in sowing at this time of year
One of these is too high temperature.
1t Is we'll to wait for a spell of cool

Diversified Farming.

Texas Farm and Ranch says 'diver>
sified farming works both ways and
always for good to those who practice
it and to those whose interests are
connected in any manner with the
success of farmers. We will continue
to grow cotton, and also corn, wheat,
oats, rye, barley, forage, cattle, hors-
es, hogs, poultry, fruit and vegetables,
and any other farm products that may
promise profit. AS we have often de-
clared, there are many farmers who
cannot practice diversified farming
and should not attempt it. No neces-
sity for reasons; the fact exists be-
yOnd all question. There are also
many farmers who thought the change
in methods impracticable, but who are
now practicing it, and will expand in
the same direction. Our farmers are
becoming wiser every year, more bust
ness-like and more enterprising, and
what has been accomplished along
these lines is but an index to that
which is to come The field for agri-
cultural effort is almost without limit.
We have the widest range of soil, eli
mate and general adaptibility of any
equal area in any part of the earth.
When our farmers fully realize these
advantages there will be develop
ment that will astonish the world. The
region south of latitude 36 and west
of the Mississippi river can feed and
clothe the entire country and half the
world besides"
We believe Texas is coming to the
front in diversified and scientific farm
ing more rapidly than any other South
ern State Her agricultural college
and farmers Institutes are up-to-date
Her stock interests are receiving the
most careful attention. The long
horned Texas steer and razor back are
becoming relics of the past, and diver
sified farming is greatly adding to the
wealth of the State.

A Running Fight
HOW A NOTORIOUS GUERILLA
BAND WAS TOUGH
Veteran Of the First Missouri Cavalry Relates Incidents of
nshes with Quantre|'s Bushwackes.
From the Euensn0 Nesos, Detroit. Mich.

The well known employe of Detroit, Michi-
gan, Board of Public Works, Joseph B.
Myers, living at III Fort Street, west, is an
important member of the Grand Army of
Veterans, and recently had a remarkable
experience.
Comrade Myers enlisted at Edinburg, NO.,
in 1862, and served during the war in the
southwest, and was discharged at st. Louis,
Mo-, in 1865. He was member of Co. K.
First Missouri Cavalry, 18th A. G. Western
army, commanded by General Burnside, and
later by Gen. Eads. He participated in the
battles of Springfield, Seas Ford and all the
principal battles through Missouri
For months the First Missouri Cavalry
followed the notorious Guerilla Quantrell
and his band of bushwackers. Scarcely dav
passed but what there was a running fight.
For nearly six weeks Comrade Myers was
in the saddle constantly. It was campaign

trated for weeks after Quantrell was driven
from the State. Many times the command
rode all night to cut off his retreat and fought
all day. The men slept and ate in their
saddles during this campaign, and were glad
when they were relieved.

ing the most of their opportunities in
gardening. AS a matter OF course, it
is useless to put seed in the ground
when it is dry as an ash heap, unless
you have facilities for irrigation. I'm
der those circumstances the only thing
to do is to wait for rain. We are not
weather prophets and when these lines
are written each month we cannot
foresee what conditions will be pres
ent over the vast territory that the
RuraliSt goes to. If the conditions
are unfavorable for planting it is the
readers business to use common sense
and wait for a favorable season.

Florida Strawberries.

The great obstacle to strawberry
culture in Florida has been the cost
and bad manner of transportation.
Many fine strawberry patches have
been abandoned in the last few years
on this account But we learn
through the agricultural editor Of the
Times Union and Citizen, that the
Georgia Southern and Florida r.. r.
Company, by concessions to the straw
berry grower, by reasonable transpor-
tation rates and manner of shipment
will make strawberry growing along
the line of their road practical. The
editor says:
The management of the road put in
very favorable rates in solid refriger
ator cars, and arranged fast freight
service to all points East and West.
AS a solid carload could not this
season be secured at any one point on
the line, pickup service was deter
mined upon. A contract was made
with the California Fruit Transporter
ton Company to use it's we'll known
cars. During the winter many meet
ings of growers were held, and all
pledged themselves to support the new
system. Messrs. Cutler and Glessner
visited the large commission houses in
Eastern and Western markets and
asked for their cooperation. Houses
owning refrigerator boxes were loath
to pledge their support as it meant
that these portable refrigeratOrs would
lie idle on their hands. Some, how
ever, very quickly saw that the rail
road was determined to put it's plans
into effect, and these instructed their
representatives to do all they could to
make a success of the plans. These
wide-awake houses ultimately turned
out to be the largest beneficiaries, for
they were naturally favored by the
growers with their consignments.
The first car was started TO New
York on April Sd and arrived at its
destination in seventy-two hours, with
the fruit in splendid condition. The
returns for this car were very favOra-
BILE. Since then a number Of cars have
gone forward, and in each case The
history of the first car has been repeat
ed The growers were urged TO ship
only fine, ripe fruit in the cars, and
not to "tOp" their crates, that is COW
er up small fruit with large berries
on top.

To Stimulate Bearing.

TO stimulate a bearing tree to it's
utmost productiveness, measure cir
Gle around the tree at the outside of
the branches, dig a trench and fill
with manure. ''The effect of this
treatment will be to stimulate
growth of young rootlets, which will
feed upon the enriched soil of the
trench; the result of this will be that
a strong growth of young shoots will
everywhere take place amongst the
branches; and, as a final consequence,
the tree will be full of flower and
fruit.

rainy weather such as is not uncOm-
mon in the central south during July
and August. The second cause is fail
ure to firm or roll the soil over the
seed after planting. If you have no
roller tramp the soil down with your
feet The third cause Of failure is the
turnip flea which will often make
away with an entire crop before you
are aware that the seed has germin-
ated, taking the plants when they are
not more than one-tenth of an inch
high There is no remedy for it that
we know Of If your crop is eaten up
by the flea, SOW again. Occasionally
four or five sOwings are necessary to
obtain a satisfactory stand. After the
rough leaves appear on the young
plants they are safe.
Let me again urge, upon our readers
in the central south to make more of
the late summer and fall gardens. Tur-
nips and cabbage are but the begin
ming of it. You can just as easily have
radish, beets, lettuce, bush squash, GU
cumbers, bush beans and peas as you
can in the spring. What we have
said on this line applies equally we'll
to that portion of Florida in the lati-
tude of Tallahassee. In Central and
South Florida we cannot advise any
general planting of a general line of
vegetables before September. Septem-
Der and October are the ideal garden
ing months for Central and South
Florida.

These are both important market
crops for Florida for fall shipment,
and July offers the best inducements
for a successful termination of the

when it is hot and moist. Sow both

Ruby King.
A reader at Fitzgerald, Ca, says
that he cannot follow our advice to
keep planting on account of extreme
dry weather. The drouth which he re-
fers to has extended over almost the
entire South and well into the North.

readers was the importance of max

agreement would be very distasteful to
Senator Elkins, who was in favor Of
unseating the Senators, and that under
no circumstances should any knowledge
of such agreement be brought to the
notice of the Senator" Under the be-
lief that that was the only method

the Democratic Senators and the or
ganization of rump House Of Dele
gates and the general condition OF dis
grace and delay in legislative matters
which would follow such a course.

agreement, and was very much sur
prised at a little conference between
members of both parties on the subject,
to find Senator Elkins there, fully
posted as to the agreement and very
active in carrying it out"
The legal points discussed in the
brief are those raised by Mr. McGraw,
in his protest presented in the Senate
last February, namely, that Scott did
| not receive a majority OF the votes
constituting the joint convention Of the
Legislature of West Virginia; that two
of the persons voting for Scott, the
military Senators. were not legally
members of the Legislature: that the
joint convention was not a legal body
because the Senate, constituting one of
the electors of that body, was not con-
stitutionally organized by reason of the
participation in its organization of the
military Senators; that the vote for
Senator was brought about by threats
and intimidation; that the joint con-
vention was held, not under the law,
but under a private agreement which
was void, as against public policy and
INITIATED ALL ACTS
performed under it; and, finally, that
Scott, at the time of his election, was
not an inhabitant OF the State Of West
Virginia
AS to the last point, an interesting
precedent is quoted, that of John Ball
ey, of Massachusetts,, whose case was
considered in the House Of Representa-
tiveS in 1924. Bailey was a clerk under
the Secretary Of State in Washington.
He had never exercised any of the
rights of citizenship in the District Of
Columbia, but had retained his citizen
ship in Massachusetts,. He was elected
to Congress from Massachusetts,, and
the House. by an overwhelming vote
held that he was not an inhabitant Of
Massachusetts and therefore not eligible
to seat in the House Of Representa-
tives.
