A Prescriptions That May Save you

The true, not the new, should be tne
motto of those who write or SPEAK
about the apple, the fruit longest In
use by our branch Of the human race.
There are certain simple principles

every man not fool Is supposed to
have acquired the right to give medical
advice, at least to himself, will relate
their various wonderful discoveries and
remarkable self cures just as they had
given up all hope, and In general these
reduce themselves to this: II ate less

Baked apples for breakfast tend to
reduce the amount Of meat eaten Il We
are inclined to eat too much and to
supply the system with mineral foods
and the digestive tract with acids.
People who eat too much food are not
to be advised to eat baked apples as
mere addition to the breakfast, and
those who need a substantial meal
must not let the baked apple interfere
with the taking Of solid food AS a
rule. those who eat three meals per
diem will wisely have the incest dish
of baked apples obtainable for brea1-
fast. 1t is a piece Of simple wisdom

apples. but we shall not sugar coat the

4 Blind Murderer.

A triple tragedy occurred about
three and a half miles east Of Plano
Texas, Thursday Afternoon when Will
Cochran, a blind man who has been
separated from bis wife for about six
weeks, led by his nephew, fifteen
years old, called at his mother-ln-
laws house, entered the front door,
called for his wife. When she sat down
by him he grabbed her, stabbing her
to death with a dirk and then killed
his mother-in-law, Mrs James Skel-
ton, seventg-three years old. He then
walked around the house about
twenty-five yards, stuck his dirk in
the grouad, and pulling out pistol,
shot bis brains out and cied instantly.

Help the Cause.

It takes large sums Of money to
run q national campaign. 1t is an easy
matter for the Republican party to
raise all the money it needs. This
party is the party Of the trusts and
rich coruorat. OBS, and these robbers
of the rsople stand ready to contri-
butte millions of dollars to enable the
Republican party TO continue In
power for the privilege of roboing the
people. But the Democrats are not
able to command money from such
sources. They must look to the people
who are in favor Of Democratic sue
cess to fill the campaign chest with
voluntary contributions. There are OF
course, some rich Democrats and some
corporations that contribute to the
Democratic fund, but all the money
thus obtained would not equal the
fat fried cut OF SINCE trust by Roose-
velt's man, Cortelyou.
The Democratic National Commit
tee needs money and is not ashamed
or afraid to say so. George Foster
Peabody, the treasurer Of the commit
tee, would be glad to receive contri-
buttons, large or small. He would
welcome sums as small as half a dol
lar. Mr.. Peabody encourages the max
ing OF small contributions. He would
rather receive sl00 from one hundred
persons in sums Of one dollar each
than the like sum from single indi-
vidual. Mr.. Peabody hopes to be fav-
ored with many small contributions
from the south. Himself a native Of
Georgia, he says it would please him
immensely to have the Democrats OF
his old home state evince their inter-
est in the cause in this practical way.
He would be glad to have the Dam
ocratS in other southern states join.
And why not? No portion OF the
country would receive greater benefit
from the election of Parker and Davis
than the south; no portion has 50
much to fear from the election OF
Roosevelt as the south. 1t would be
a handsome thing for Orangebulg
County to raise at last one hundred
dollars to help the good cause along.
The Times and Democrat expects to
make a small contribution to the
Democratic campaign fund and would
gladly receive contributions from
others for the same purpose. All con-
tributions will be acknowle dyed in
these columns. Let every man do his

Mr.. Monroe Hambright, travelling

in Augusta for few Gays visit and
briggs with him glad tidipgs and good
cheer for the stalwart Democrats Of
Georgia. Speaking to the Herald, Of
the political conditions in the North,
Mr.. Hanbright says:
"A few weeks ago I Travelled over

party in that state that Democratic
nominee for Governor, Peck, will be
elected in November. La Toilette,
the present governor Of the state, WHO

The people OF Indiana are crying to

that the Democratic committee acted

speakers to that state. I believe In

least all indications: while I was in

Mr.. Hambright is accompanied by
his wife and they will spend several
days in Augusta. His trip is one with
which pleasure is mixed with busi-
ness. Mr.. Hambright recalled the

PARIS HEARS OF WAR
EXCURSIONS PLANNED
IN SAN FRANCISCO

PARIS, Feb. 20.-"Children, would
you rather see the war for your Easter
vacation or visit the St. Louis Expo
sition?" the Matin quotes an American
paterfamilias as asking
In that newspaper and the Figaro
are articles which assert that the walls
Of San Francisco are placarded with
posters of rival tourist concerns
which read like this: War excur-
sions. Trip to witness great modern
battle. Powerful searchlights for
viewing night encounters. Safest
steamers; best handled on the Pacific
Ocean. Passengers can see everything
without the slightest risk"
Children, of course, according to these
stories, choose to see the war, be-
cause there is more chance Of noise.
The writer's conclude that the attend
ance on the exposition will suffer
through the rivalry of the counter at
traction so handy TO America-"just
across the Pacific"
The inference is drawn from a card
inclosed in an envelope, which reads:
Before leaving insure your life in -

That holiday jaunt to see naval en-
gagement may not be such a quiet
treat for whole family after all. It
is gravely asserted that the excursion

nies-are coming money.

RUSSIAN ATTITUDE
IN RELATION TO THE
DALNY CONSULATE

PARIS, Feb 20.-The Temps, semi
official quotes high Russian author
ity as follows:
Although the United States wished
to send a Consul to Dalny, it is GER
tain that the Russian Government
alone can judge whether it is desira Bile
to issue an exequatur to that effect.
1t is necessary to- remember that while
Manchuria belongs to China, Russia
holds Port Arthur and Dalny under a
lease from the Chinese Government.
The war was commenced by Japan,
which practically has established a
state of siege at those points. What
is more natural than that the laws Of
war should be extended to those points,
and that the authorities should refuse
to grant an exequatur to a foreign
Consul?
IF it pleases the United States to
ask China to issue exeQuaturs for
Consuls at Mukden and Antung it is
their right to do so. But the actual
situation confers upon us certain
rights. Manchuria, being the theater
of war occupied by us and recognized
by the United States and other pow
ers as outside of the Chinese zone OF
neutrality, it is for our military au-
thorities to judge the question of re-
ceiving these Consuls. even if China
grants them exequaturs. l do not
know the decision of Viceroy Alexieff,
but they (the military authorities) are
free to take any action they wish"

SPAIN'S PREPARATIONS
INDICATE THE FEAR
OF EUROPEAN WAR

MADRID, Feb. 20.-Two regiments Of
infantry at San Sebastian and two reg
iments at Pampeluna are I1eldsin readi-
ness to start for the Balearic, Islands.
War Minister Linares has sent a circu-
lar to the military authorities ordering
the recall of all soldiers on furlough
and to retain with the colors men whose
service terminates on March 1.
These measures caused considerable
excitement. which was not diminished
by the rumors which continued to cir
culate in spite of officials denials, that
this military activity was due to a
warning from a European power to the
effect that in the event Of a Continental
war Great Britain intended to seize
ports on the Spanish coast. --'''.r,
PARIS. Feb. 90 - The officials here
profess not to know the cause of
Spains hurried mobilization of troops,
but unofficial information shows that
the mobilization is going on with the
utmost fury with "a special view. Of
protecting the Canary and Balearic
groups of islands. Large forces OF in
fantry, cavalry and engineers have
already been assigned to cooperate
with the navy in the defense of the is
lands and the coast of the mainland of
Spain. a prominent official said:
The mobilization is probably due to
a scare similar TO that which Spain ex-
perienced when she expected Rear Ad-
miral Watson's fleet to attack her
coast"
However. the authorities here are
aware that Spain is suspicious that the
present war may lead some powers to
attempt to secure strategic positions
near Gibraltar. British and French ne
gotiations concerning Northern Moroc-
co, opposite Gibraltar have been going
on for the last year, and Foreign Min
lister Delcasse recently told one of the
ambassadors that settlement seemed
as far off as ever. He also said he be-
lieved Spain foresaw Russia's present
extreme, need of coaling stations be-
tween the Baltic and the Far East.
The financial dangers attending the
mobilization were shown to-day in the
complete decentralization of Spanish
rentes on the Bourse.
