A TWO HEADED CALF
A Genuine Article Born on a Barton
County Farm

Judge j. NJ. Nowlin brought real
monstrosity into town, Wednesday
forenoon. 1t was real two headed
calf, Al Of the two headed infant bo-
vines that we've over Known about, ex-
isted in the rural column Of the city
papers, but this is the genuine article
The calf was born Wednesday morn
ing, and the remarkable double form
alton Of the head, caused il TO be killed
during the delivery. The two heads
are perfectly formed in every particular.
Each one las two ears, two eyes, nose,
mouth aud every other organ. There
is but one neck. La fact, there is moth
ing remarkable about the calf until it
comes TO the heads. Each one looks
out almost straight from the side Of the
neck, They are the same size and the
same color: except that the white spot
10 the right forehead is not quite so
large as the one upon the left. The
calf is a deep red, except for these
small white spots upon the forehead.
1t is u male calf medium sized and in
no wise remarkable after you leave the
tWln heads. Judge Nowlin will prob
ably have Hoyt Humphrey embalm the
calf and keep it. 1t is certainly worth
keeping. 1t is the most remarkable
freak Of nature ever known in the
county Lamar Democrat.

A public official should be
clean as a hounds tooth" said
President Roosevelt early in his
administration. But the Presi.
dent has made sad departure
from that high standard for pub
lie officials, of late. He has at
tempted to vindicate Paul Nor.
ton, Secretary of the Navy, with
out due process of law, he has
dismissed former Minister Bow,
en- but retained Assistant Secre.
tary of State Loomis, after Mr..
LOOMS has been proven to have
invested in Venezuelan securit-
les, while Minister to that coun-
try, and now he has exalted
Loomis by making him a special
ambassador to France to receive
the body of John Paul Jones,
and has arranged that Mr..
LOOMS European vacation shall
cost him nothing by giving him
Il commission to investigate the
American diplomatic posts in
Europe. The Presidents bold
stand for railway rate legislation
won for him the respect of Am
orleans irrespective of party and
many there were who hoped that
we had returned to the early
days of the republic, at least to
the extent of having a non parti-
san President. The Presidents
courageous stand with regard to
the tariff hogs who are standing
with thei feet in the trough"
added to the hosts of his admir-
ers, although his tariff reform
position was soon abandoned. It
may still be that democrats in
Congress will have to support
the President in his campaign
against the railroads which
monopolize the great highroads
of the country" but no admirer
of Roosevelt can but regret that
he should have so departed from
his high ideals as he has done in
the Morton, the Bowen and the
Loomis cases.

A simple and inexpensive
method of getting rid of dande-
lions in lawns is suggested by a
correspondent in the Colorado
Springs Telegraph. 1t consists
merely of sprinkling few drops
of gasoline on the plants. The
blossoms, which carry the seeds,
should be plucked off, but the
plant need not be pulled. The
use of an oil can will prevent the
gasoline from getting on the
grass and destroying it. The
dandelions and the ground should
be dry when the gasoline is APP
piled. Only a few drops are
necessary to kill the plant and
to cause the root to rot. 1t is
claimed for the method that the
dandelions do not reappear after
gasoline is used.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better, it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and Impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating OH
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion. it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect IN the stomach and bowels; II
diSinfectS the mouth and throat from
| the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
| is in Stuart'S Charcoal Lozenges: they
are composed of the finest powdered
| Willow charcoal. and other harmless
Iantiseptics in tablet form, or rather
| in the form of large. pleasant tasting
! lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honry.
| The daily use OF these lozenges viii
soon tell in much-improved condition
| of the general health and purer blood
and the beauty of it is, that no pos
sible harm can result from their con
| tinued use, but on the contrary greal

"A DISGRACE TO THE STATE.
That Is What The Criminal Insane
Department Is

To the Editor:-Please allow
me short space in your
paper TO make d few remarks
about the Criminal Insane Depart
nent in the west end of the State
prison.
| wish to call the attention of the
good humane people of this good old
state TO a few facts about that depart
ment
First, is it right to send q man there
without being tried and convicted OF
some crime by a jury of twelve good
men of the county in which he is said
to have committed his crime?
But | wish to say | know of men
who have been committed to that de-
rartment who were never tried. Now,
how can d man or a woman be GRIM
inally insane without being tried and
found guilty by jury?
Second, is it right to send poor,
helpless insane man or woman there
who mas not been convicted of any
crime, to be half cared for? 1t is "a
certain fact that the insane in that
depa rtment are half fed and about half
clothed, and don't get the attention
that q good humane man would give
his dog, and | defy any one 10 deny
it. The poor insane are beaten or
knocked about by the attendants. I
say and think that every humane man
who has the power TO stop this way of
treating the poor insane men and Wo-
men aud does not do SO. is not doing
Justice to his fellow man and to God
and his country.
