Prof. Howard Of the Missouri State Agricultural College says:
81 advise American farmers to cultivate Ginseng. Big profits are
realized. 1t is hardy plant and is easy grown A bulletin issued
'by the Pennsylvania State College in part says: The supply of
native Ginseng root is grapidl diminishing, and price per pound
is corrcspondingly increasing, while the constant demand Tor
the drug in China stands as a guarantee of a steady market for
Ginseng in the future. Consul General Rublee of Hong Kong
saws in the L. S. Consulor report: The sale of Gcnsing root grown
in America is very large here and the demand Is sogreat that mnch
more could be disposed of adyantageouly. The root is lndlspeh-
sat1e to the four-hundred- million Chinese as is their rice"
Ginseng is a staple on the market the same as corn, wheat and
cotton, The present market price varies from 5000 to $3.50 per
pound, while the cost of producing is less than $l.5O. 1t S easy
to grow and requires very little ground, An acre of maturcd Gin
seng is wortc $40, 900. There is room in ones garden to grow
several hundred dollars worth Scach year. The plant thriyes
throughout the United States and Canada in any soil OF eli
mate that will grow garden vegetables. We sell roots and seeds
for planting purposes and can show you how to make money
growing Ginseng. There are two planting seasons, spring and tal.
With each order we give full instructions how to plant andcare
for the garden. You can get a good start III the business tor a
small out Law and soon have a nice income. Send two cent

Theoretically, Mr. Roosevelt probably
prefers "A constitutional government to n
personal government. but constitu'
tional government IL often too slow for
"A man that loves to do things II Is
too impersonal to suit man who has
friends to protect and favorites to re-
ward II il too impartial to square with
the policies Of n mnn who lives continu-
ously in the superlatiye degree. II is
too restricted for a president whose
activities are 80 multifarious that he
cannot conhne them to enumerated
powers under n fundamental law

Roosevelt does not change with them

the innocence or gull, of Paul Morton
was consistent with his whole admins
tration His promotion Of Loomis in
spite of indscretions, waa in harmony
with HIS whole executive policy
Why should anybody be mystiied by
| hia conduct in either case? He il the
same Theodore Roosevelt he has always
