Cotton Seed Oil For
Consumption.

Considerable interest has been
aroused in medical circles over the
virtue of cotton seed oil in cases of
consumption, accidentally dlscov-
cred by Dr.. 7. q. Hines, of West
Monroe, in the case Of a negro who
worked in the oil mill in that town.
He had been examined by DR..
Hines, who found that tuberculosis
had set up In his lungs, and sub
sequently finding the patient had
grown flesby aud that his lung
trouble had disappeared: he ques-
toned him and found that while at
his labor IN the oil mill, to relieve
the trouble occaeioned in his throat
from the floating lint, he had been
taking occasional swallows of the
crude oil, which he found to be
agreeable, and keeping it up had
unwittingly cured himself of
hitherto fatal disease. This set
the doctor to thinking, and later
when another patient, who had
sheen unsuccessfullv treated for con-
sumption, was cured by the use Of
cotton seed oil, the fact became
apparent that a new and valuable
use had been found for this great
Southern product, and the matter
will be exploited further and il
found correct the boon will be uti-
iized for suffering humanity. DR..
Hines. who is also State Masonic
Lecturer, Is enthusiastic IN the
matter and is giving it careful at

Federal Aid For Good
Roads.

Good roads are as essential to the
development Of country as are rail-
roads and waterways, because roads
permeate every community, and
may be used by the entire citizen
ship every day in the year. This is
an admitted fact. 1t remains to de-
wise q way BY means Of which Fede-
raj and State government may be
induced to cooperate IN q move-
ment for improved driveways. Con-
gresham Walter P. Brownlow, Of
Tennessee, has an idea which it will
be we'll to consider. He has intro
duced bill in Congress which ap-
propriates $24, 900, 900 as national
aid for the building Of wagon roads
OF this IS, 600, 900 is to be used AMI
nually for period of three years.
The money is to be distributed ac-
cording to the population Of the
severa! states, except that states
having les, than 700, 100 people are.
to receive q minimum amount of
$250,000. Under this provision
Texas gets $884.000, Louisiana
$500, 900, Arkansas $S8o,000 or a
total of $1,664, 900 for the states Of
the Southwest. Territories are not
included, but as Oklahoma, Indian
Territory and New Mexico are on
the verge of statehood they will DO
ultimately benefited il the Brown.
low bill becomes law. Each state,
county or town receiving national
aid must ada like amount, making
$48. 900. 900 a. the initial fund in
tile United States for good roads.
This act will be voted on early 10
February and it is broad enough in
it's principal to receive the sanction
and support OF every member Of
Congress.
It cannot possibly become q party
measure, as all sections of the
country are benefited alike and no
state is forced to accept the Offer,
while any state may secure Its quota
by appropriating a similar sum.
What more could be asked for?
Good roads increase land values.
They enable the farmer to haul h s
produce to market the year round,
and to haul when it is wet and can't
pillow. He thus markets twice the
usual load in less time than under
present conditions. They save wear
and tear on wagons. team and TEN.
per. Children can always go to
school when good roads bless q
community.
Good roads mean better social
Intercourse for the farmer and his
family. What the Federal govern
ment does it does well. II good
roads bureau were created it would
not be discontinued at the expira-
ton OF three years, but on the other
hand would be permanent agency
working for the advancement Of the
Good roads made rural
free delivery what it is to-day. In
time traction engines will be used to
haul farm products between towrs
and villages when these engines can.
not be used in the fields. This has
been tried in Europe over good
roads and found to be cheaper than
by railroads.

MED that he had slandered the memory
of the gentle Mckinley and viillfied
Roosevelt and the American soldiers
in the Philippines, but the Congress
sional Record told different tale. The
record showed that every charge OF
this kind that had been brought against
Mr.. Turner was borne out by the rec
ord from which he quoted. He SAID
the cold and naked truth abont James
Farrell coming to Tacoma during the
time the republican convention was in

reouest of friends of Governor Henry
Mcbride who were endeavOring to
make a deal with lot of Tacoma poll
ticians in which the United States SEN

deal was perfectly legitimate and prop

friends have reversed their tao.
tics. Now they are approaching
q certain other class of voters,
with long faced, psalm singing,
hypocritical JUNCTION, they are
saying, What a shame! A few
republicans meet at Wenatchee
and without the advice or con-
sent of the republicans of
other portions of the county they
attempt to depose and discredit
the strongest and best man they
have got, the man who has done
more for the success of the party
than any other man in the cOun-
ty-the man to whom every Off
Ger in the county owes his cleo
ton. Such base ingratitude
ought to be rebuked at the polls,
you ought to show them that you
will not stand for such unholy
political conduct by voting
against the republican county
ticket.
With apparent righteous indig-
nation they will swell up like a
porpoise and grow red in the
face, telling about the graceless
conduct of the Wenatchee club.
This is a foxy political game
that our democratic friends are
playing. Very foxy. But will
it win? We do not think it will.
The republican voter has seen
the cards dealt from the top, and
now they are coming from the
bottom of the pack.
