Keeping Chickens In aood Hoalth.

trecHons for feeding poultry unless they

and perhaps more of the diseases of
poultry are due to the one cause, filth.
Much has been said by poultry writ

their sleeping quarters clean, removing
the droppings under the roosts, and
using kerosene about roosts. nest boxes

proper suppor.a for tomatoes.


1t is better for the plant and better
in keeping the fruit clean and healthy
to have an adequate support for the
main stalk. AS soon as the fruit be-
comes heavy it will either break down
the plant or bend it so as to rest on the
ground; If the latter, it Is liable to de-
cay.
The common way Is to tie q firm
stake; wooden barrel hoops are used
and sometimes one long strip of board
is made to support five or six plants. A
writer in Orange Judd Farmer suggests
that for garden use where only few
tomato plants are set, some. kind Of an

AN ISSUE Is WANTED.
The Democracy Is StiII FIOundering
About In the Slough of
Uncertainty.

There is a melancholy contrast be-
tween the predictions of the whirlwind
democrats who acclaimed Bryan as their
Moses in 1896 and the doleful sugges-
ton of the democratic senator who APP
proves the approaching nomination of
the silver oracle as the only means of
getting rid of him. He will be defeated,
says this true prophet, but as we must
lose anyway it is best that we should
lose under his leadership. That will
clear the decks completely and give US
chance to reorganize. On the other
hand, if we should beat him in con-
vention we might have him and his free
silver populistic retainers on our backs
in 1904.
This question of eXpediency as re-
CARDS the candidate is interesting, but
more interesting still is the general coll
lapse of a party without issues. De-
mocracy as a whole is no longer an adj
vocate of any principle. 1t is divided
on expansion and worse than divided
on the money question. Not only is
there active opposition to silver, but
the very men who raise their voices in
its favor despise it in their hearts.
They recognize that they have been
chasing an ignus fatuus, that the prop
er inscription for that buoyant con-
vention of 1896 would have been
Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
Every man who is at once sincere and
sane must see that the gold standard

goes on neutrality-suspicious. is becom-
ing weaker every day. That it has
caused no break in the republican ranks
is shown by the vote in Massachusetts
and Iowa. That it is promoting fur
ther disintegration among the demo-
Gratis is proven by the declaration of
such leaders as Senators Morgan and
McLaurin, Gov. D. w. Jones, of Arkan-
sas, and ex-Gov. Stone, of Missouri.
Throughout the south and west the re-
volt is spreading rapidly against a
cowardly confession of national i'm
potence TO deal with a Colonial policy"
as it is called.
The only possible hope of the practi-
cal politicians of the party is that we
may meet with some reverses in the
Philippines that will check the rising
tide of popular opinion. a contingent
issue resulting from national misfor-
tune or disaster is, however. a sickly
source of inspiration. And it may be
added that even if the Filipinos should
be troublesome for another season or
many seasons Americans are not of
such fiber that they will be daunted
by difficulties. Their determination to
put down the rebellion would increase
rather with increased existence.
AS the antitrust agitation is not and
cannot be taken seriously in politics de-
mocracy's final hope is fiat despair"
and it is no wonder that some relief is
sought in the thought of getting rid
of Bryan. There is a poetic justice in

Every true Yankee should look with
a great deal of quiet, internal pride
upon the Yankee-evolving south, say S
the Criterion. That an Englishman
under a southern sun should ever be-
comea genuine Yankee has often been
Cespaired of. 1t is now a swelling
fact. When the Spaniards called Lee
a Yankee q year ago it pleased the
whole south, though there is as yet a
comparatively small spot on the south
crn map where the Yankee, sprung
out of the very soil, threatens to out
strip his own blood elsewhere. This
sod out of which the southern Yankee
is springing with such robust energy
extends from Lynchburg, Va, on the
east, and Bristol, Tenn, on the west,
to Eufaula and Birmingham, Ala, o.
the south. 1T is about 500 miles in
length, and from 200 to 300 miles in
breadth. 1t embraces the iron, coal
and cotton mill site, and decidedly
the most interesting phase of all this
energy here is the cotton mill, for this
phase is the latest and is developing
more of the genuine characteristics
of the New England Yankee in the
southern man than elsewhere in the
country.

Both suicides and murders were few
er in 1899 than in 1898. The total
number of suicides in the United
States during the year now closing
was 5,340, as against 1920 in the pre-
ceding year. A noteworthy item in
the suicide statistics of the year, says
the Chicago Tribune, is the dispropor-
tiorate number of physicians who
tool, their own lives as compared with
me1abers of other professions. Thirty
eight doctors committed suicide.
Twelve ministers of the Gospel have
left their names on the list. The to-
tai includes seven prominent attor-
neys, seven bankers and seven jour
two college professors took their own
lives. The murders for 1899 come to
n total of 6,225, as against 7,S40 in
1898. There has been steady de-
crease in the number of murders each
wear since 1896. AS that date also
marks the beginning of the present
era of business prosperity there ap-
rears TO be a close connection between
the two facts. Probably the increased
opportunities for employment and the
decrease in business failures and
financial reverses will also go far to-
ward accounting for the fact that
there were $50 fewer suicides this year
than last. 1t would be false anal
ogy, however, to try to account for
the increase Of suicides among doc
tors on the theory that there has been
less sickness. The suicidal tendency
OF that profession is largely due to
the familiarity of physicians with
subtle poisons, notably opium in its
various forms.

A YEAR OF PROSPERITY.
The Last Twelve Months n Splendid
Testimonial to Republic
an Success.

1t has been most prosperous year in
all lines of business, and the reports
that are now being compiled furnish
some very interesting information.
During the 12 months ending with the
first day of this month, there have been
1854 manufactures who failed, as com
pared with 2,475 during the year before.
That would not seem to indicate that
republicanism closes up the factories
and ruins business. During the year
there have been 400 traders who failed,
while last year the number was 0,7SS.
The banks have done well, too, and the
failures this year have been but 81, COM
pared with IS last year. Exclusive Of
the banks the aggregate number Of
failures for the II months is 9,700, and
this is the smallest number recorded
since 1887. In aggregate amount the
failures were S9,@92,7 $50. and that is the
lowest it has been since 1881. There is
some difference between that report
and the one which was made in 1896.
That year, when the whole nation was
in an uproar bordering On panic, and
the affairs of the country had reached
a serious crisis, the aggregate of the
failures was $226 ,S34. 1t is a mag
nifcent triumph :or the late Mr.. Ding
ley, of Maine. the great statesman who
was slandered. The New York World
has always been one of the most bitter
enemies of the Dingley protective tariff,
and il is now very gratifying to the
friends of decency that that paper has
to eat its crow. After maintaining from
the very first day OF its passage that the
Dingley law would not furnish sufficient
revenue, it predicted last July that by
the end of 1899 we would have a deficit
of $4,000, GOO. Instead of that deficit we
have millions in surplus, and il is still
piling up. 1t has been prosperous
year, and we shall have many more of
them if the republican party is kept in
power. Republicanism stands for pro-
lection, progress and sperity.-lowa

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandm others never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
