a system of healing disease by the mind, met at Lynn, Massachusetts, organized by resolution the first Christian Science Association, and pledged ten dollars week for the support of Mary Glover as their teacher. In June 1906, the Chris tian Scientists of the world met in Boston to dedicate the most costly church building in New England and one of the most pretentious in ih United States; for in thirty-one years the association had grown into a church, and the church into 6)J churches, In 1875 no one living outside of two or three back str s of Lynn had heard U

 "A church which has doubled it's membership in five years, which draws it's believers mostly from the rich and respectable, which has pros pered exceedingly in wealth, and which has just paid for the most costly church building in New Eng land-to the worldly, this is no long CT joke. More and more Ameri- cans are taking seriously this faith winch professes to cure sickness and poverty as well as sin.
 What is the theory of life, relig- ion, and medicine which Mrs. Eddy put forth in her book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. and which thousands of jealous apostles are spreading all over the. world? Even the faithful have trouble in answering that question, while the intelligent outside public is very much at sea. That it has to do with curing disease by divine aid, everyone knows. Further, the average man knows that it is sup posed to give great calm and peace of mind; and perhaps he can bear witness to the case of neighbor who declares himself healed by Science" or to some miracle of character wrought through Scienc ." Beyond that, in the pub lie mind. there are oaly the stock phrases "Sin, disease, death;" Health and Harmony" Denial of error" and the like"

PROTECT THE FRUIT TREES

PROTECT TIE FRUIT 1REES
 This is the season when fruit trees should be protected from being eaten and girdled by rabbits. There are several ways to do this and the care ful fruit grower should not delay applying some method before it is too late for Cottontail Bunny is very apt to become industrious while you sleep, especially while the ground IS covered with snow and the bark of fruit trees is the best he can find to eat.
 We have found what is called cold water paint, mixed with little bit ter aloes, to be a very good protec- tion from rabbits as well as sun srald. It will also protect trees from borers and other insects, and being easily applied is about as cheap as any method we have tried.
 is a protection for apple and pear trees from rabbits and borers it should be applied in the fall, but to keep borers from peach trees it should be applied early in the spring Out of over 200O young peach trees upon which we had this cold water paint applied last spring not over loo show any signs of the pesky borer this fall
 fha paint comes in a powder and should be mixed to proper con- sistencey with cold water. Then dissolve a small quantity of aloes in hot water and mix this with the paint and apply with a brush to body of tree after first removing the earth around the base so as to apply the paint close down to the roots where the borers work.
 There are two kinds of cold water paint, one for inside and one for outside use and the outside paint IS what should be used. Having no oil in it it does not injure the bark of the tree at all. This can be pro- cured at the Jackson drug store and perhaps other drug and paint houses keep it. After planting trees it does not pay to have them girdled or destroyed by borers.

The Star stated few days ago that Secretary Root had suggested David K. Francis as suit ble candi- date for the Democratic nomination for president and that this would be entirely satisfactory to the "conser- vatives." Sinte that time the fact has been developed that Mir. Francis while governor of Missouri favored the Waters-Pierce Oil Company in making contracts for oil for state institutions as against the independ- ent companies. No man having the taint of Standard Oil can ever be- come a candidate for president. However, as Root is q Republican and corporation attorney, Dave Francis would be entirely satisfac- tory to him as conservative.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Mobile, May 3.
 The Mobile county jail has again furnished a sensation, closely following upon the wholesale delivery of white inmates on Tuesday night. In fact double sensation has been furnished. The first was discovery of deter mined attempt on. the part of negro prisoners to escape and the second sen sation was the attempt this morning at 7:30 o'clock. on the part of D. R. Smith, the self styled captain, to com init suicide.
 Again Jailer Frank Cazalas, the Democratic nominee for the shrievalty, figured prominently in the denoue- ments After the attempted delivery of Tuesday night, which was frustrated by the timely discovery of the taller, he decided that a thorough renovation of the premises inside and out. should be made. After going through the white ward he entered the negro de- partment One cell was entered, and here discovry was made which, had it been carried out in detail, would have resulted in murder and whole sale delivery of negro prisoners. Tn this cell was found A billy" of the worst type. 1t was d soda water bottle, cncased in the sleeves of a wooden sweater, the handle being well wrapped and with a hand hold att tached Two iron bars We're also found in this cell.
 The second sensation came this morning when Jailer Cazalas entered the white bull ring" to see the pris- orers. ali of whom had been kept un- der lock and key and chain since the discovery of the attempted jail deliv cry of whites Tuesday night In com pany with Deputy Tom Murray Jailer Cazalas entered the ring. He made the round q: the ground floor, then climbed the stairway and took look along the second tier of cells. When he reached the cell occupied by Capt" D. R. Smith, he saw the man hanging from the moose of a rope on the inside of the cell door Hastily unlocking the door the jailer and deputy entered and lifted the man from his perilous position. Smith had taken rope from the hammock in his celle, made a hal ter moose and tied the ends among, the bars of his cell door. He then tiptoed and placed the halter moose under his chin, drew his feet up and was swing ing in mid air when found The rope was gradually choking him to death when he was released from his predic- ament. r..,-
 doctor was summoned and when he arrived fe found the man in state of coma. After time he came around and consented to talk. He said he wanted to die as he had been placed in position to be punished for the wrong dongs of others. Smith said his original name was Schmitt and that he was born in Frankfort, Germany He has relatives in this country, butt he dose not desire for them to know his disgraceful position. Smith is a United States prisoner. be- ing held for impersonating an army officer and conspiracy.
