. GIANT RADlSHES OF THE EAST
There the Vegetable Grows to an
Enormous Size.

Radshes in North China and in
Japan are as important and ubiqui-
tous part of every meal as is bread
in America. In both countries many
millions of bushels of this vegetable
are grown every year, and they Are
to be had at all seasons. 1t is thus
easy TO understand why these parts
of the world grow the strangest and
biggest radishes known.
The giants beside the little French
Breakfast, our favorite American va
riety are but babies beside the mon
sters they grow under the warm
moist Influences of the oriental eli
mate.
These radishes are grown on Amer
lean soil from seeds imported by the
United States department of agricul-
ture from China. They take well to
the American climate, and probably
would have weighed five pounds when
full grown
When these fellows are grown in
China they rapidly form great bril-
liant red globe eight to ten inches in
diameter and weighing sometimes 20
pounds Another kind is snow white
and grows a foot long, and still an
other is brilliant green on the out
side and & beautiful wine red when
the skin is cut Some OF these
strange vegetables are exceedingly
delicate in favor and texture when
grown under favorable conditions.

ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
To tine Editor:

To the Editor:
/ noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that it was in
your columns-,an article on the White
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place it was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909 and that it's first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, it's
first occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there in
1900
The original mansion was begun in
1892 In 1914 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1918.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make it beautifully
white.
noticed this especially because l
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t so happened also that knew
white lead and linseed oil-not ready
mixed paint-were used on the White
House, because had just read book
let published by firm of ready-mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-
facture pure white lead. In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but the
best and purest of paiHt could be
used and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people, those who attempt
to write on historical subjects should
give us facts, even if it is only date
or statement about wood, or brick,
or paint, or other building material.
Yours for truth,

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.
No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Living awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimu'
iants" under such circumstances is
like setting the house on fire to see
If you can put it out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshng sleep at night and a VIDE
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way OF
eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years l had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medi-
cine, the doctor would ask me to drop
off potatoes, then meat, and so on,
but in a few days that craving, gnaW'
ing feeling would start up, and
would vomit everything l ate and
drank.
when I started on Grape-Nuts
vomiting stopped, and the bloatine
feeling which was so distressing dis
appeared entirely.
my mother was very much both
cred with diarrhea before commenc
ing the Grape Nuts, because her stom
:ach was so weak she could not diges
her food Since using Grape-Nuts sht
is well, and says she don't think she
could live without it.

nerve builder, for can sleep as soun'
and undisturbed after a supper

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

| In the opinion of one who has trav-
sled much and observed closely, the
most truly and rightfully contented
| people in the United States to-day are
| the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
| try, anywhere from Newport, Ark, to
| Carthage, Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently, the great, uneasy dis
| quieting world, with it's artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than dream. Here, still existent,
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
siStible force to the independent-spi
tied AngloSaxOn. Every man is the
supreme ruler of his own little prin-
cipality; acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his fem
mime helpmeet; bringing to no en-
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives in a latitude where
the extremes of heat or cold are never
known, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
of Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but it is a
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact. He accepts as mat

springs and streams of translucent
purity on every hand, the wealth of
fish and game at his very door, such as
less favored mortals annually travel
hundreds of miles to find. He is con-

for how could he we'll be otherwise

idealistic conditions may not con-

must soon give place to others more
appreciative of its Incompatible fea-
lures. A railroad has recently cut it's
way through the best of this region,
and the unaccustomed rustic of bank
notes and chin1 of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller to part with his
birthright So it has always been in
the worlds history-the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands before we come
TO understand their value. The White

Alum Baking Powder is Wholesome.

DR.. Herman Reinbold, the expert
German chemist, in a recent official
report concerning Baking Powders
declares that pure alum baking pow
der is better and less injurious than
8he so-called cream of tartar powders
He says that if the quantity of alum
contained in a sufficient quantity of
baking powder for a batch of bread or
cakes for an ordinary family, be con.
centrated to one mouthful of food,
and taken into the stomach of any
sone person, no matter how delicate,
it could do no harm. On the contrary
alum is wholesome in proper quanti-
ties. This is undoubtedly the reason
the State of Missouri quickly repealed
law that prohibited the manufacture
of the most wholesome of all baking
powders. So much for Alum Baking
Powders.

STOLYPIN SAFE
BUT AsSAssIN'S BOMB STAYS HIS
DAUGHTER AND 27 OTHERS.
Hands of Anarchy Reek With Russia's
Gentle Blood, but the Old World
Moves On.

st. Petersburg. -Twenty-eight ptr-
sons are dead and "a wounded as the
result of dastardly attempt to assas-
sinate Premier Stolypin with bomb
while he was holding a public recep-
ton at his country home at Aptellars-
ky island. The premier was slightly
wounded in the face and neck by fly
ing splinters.
Among the dead is the premier's To-
year-old daughter, who had both legs
broken in the explosion, and subse-
quently succumbed to her injuries;
Gen. Zameatin, the premier's personal
secretary; M. Kovostoff, former gov
ernor of the province of Penza; Col.
Fedoroff, commander of the premier's
personal guard; Court Chamberlain
Davidoff, Court Chamberlain Voronin
and Aide Doubassoff, and four women
and two children.
Prince Nakashidge, Police Officer
Konunzeff, several guards and several
servants were also killed.
The wounded include NJ. Stolypin' S
3-year-old son, who is seriously, though
not fatally injured, and number of
persons prominent in the social and
official world
OF the four conspirators who engi-
neered the outrage, two were killed
with their victims, while the third,
who acted as coachman for the party,
and the fourth, who remained in the
carriage, were badly wounded, and are
now in the ST Peter and st. Paul
fortress.
The havoc wrought by the explosion
is indescribable. Bodies were so torn
OF mangled as to make Identification
impossible, some of them headless,
armless or legless, lying among the
blood dripping wreckage. Pieces of
flesh and clothing chung to the shat
tered rafters overhead, and some
lodged in the branches of the elm
trees which border the roadway sep
arating the premiers residence from
the river
The terrorist who carried the ex-
ploSives into the house was literally
explosion. Inside the gendarme Off
GERS coat, which he had on, was found
the death sentence of Premier Stoly-
pin that he had tried to execute. The
police refuse to make public the con-
tents of the documents
From information obtained from rev
dictionary sources it is certain that
the crime was committed by the
fighting organization of the Social Rev
olutionists in retaliation for the war
which the government has been wag-
ing against them. Since NJ Stolypin's
accession to the premiership more
than | 900 of the members have been
arrested, 400 in ST. Petersburg alone,
and many of these have been deported.
1t has become known that an at
tempt upon NJ. Stolypin was frus-
trated ten days ago by the discovery
OF the beginning of a subterranean
passage from the wall of the Grenadier
church, adjoining his residence. The
mining of the palaces and residences
formerly was favorite method of the
Nihilists, but has not been used in re-
cent years.
Emperor Nicholas, when apprised of
the disaster, sent his personal con-
CALCULATIONS to Premier Stolypin on his
escape, and the cabinet ministers and
many members of the diplomatic corps,
including Mr. Eddy, the American
charge d'affairs, rendered expressions
of sympathy.
