AFFLICTED ONLY AT TIMES.
Good Reason for Capt. Bascomb's In
termittent Hearing.

When Capt. Bascomb had left his
old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new
school teacher sitting on the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road, the young woman spoke of him
with some curiosity.
II understand from Mrs. BascOmb
that her husband was very deaf, al
most stone-deaf,' she told me, I'm
sure" said the school teacher. But
he seemed to hear all We said with
perfect ease"
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke in a low, cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know It,"
he said, hurriedly. He does seem
to hear pretty we'll when she amt
round, but none of us folks ever let
on to her. She's a good woman as
ever lived, but a most tremendous
bosser and an everlastin' talker. An
we all think that Gersh Bascomb be-
gun to realize ten years ago that IL
he didn't want to be harried right of'n
the face O. the earth, the thing for
him to do was to grow def. gradual,
but steady-an' he's done it, to all
intents an purposes, ma'am!"-

ROCKEFELLER AND REPUBLICANS
National City Banks Inside Track on
United States Treasury.

There Is a persistent rumor In
Washington that the Rockefeller
banks have received a tip from the
United States treasury that the gov.
eminent bonds that mature next year
are to be refunded. The Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald gives a detailed account of
how the Rockefeller banks are to
profit by this prior information and
says Secretary Shaw declines to
elucidate." After showing that the
National City bank is advertising to
pay s1,032.50 for a $1,000 bond, he
points out that while this sounds like
a fine proposition, the National City
bank is not in the habit of putting out
it's money at less than four per cent
a year., and that in paying 103A for
the 1907 bonds, it really would make
a profit of only three-quarters of n
per cent. if it held them with the ex-
pectation that they would be re-
deemed at maturity, nearly a year
from now. Secretary Shaw, it is de-
clared, would scarcely retire the issue
in advance of maturity and pay a
premium that would insure a profit
above 103A.
GAS to selling the bonds to small
banks wanting them for the purpose
of securing government deposits, it IL
pointed out that to afford the Nation
al City adequate returns on its invest
ment, cost of advertising, etc., said
small banks would have to pay a
premium that would make their gov
eminent deposits an expensive lux
ury, inasmuch as they would expect
to have them redeemed within less
than a year at par.
Therefore it is sought to cultivate
the suspicion that the real purpose OF
the philanthropic National City bank
is to gather in $50. 000, 900 or more OF
the bonds, knowing they are to be ex-
changed shortly for two per cents,
and being in a position to make very
favorable terms with the government
when the refunding time comes"
AS this Rockefeller bank is the n
that demanded after the election of
President Mckinley that it should be
given the inside track to reward it for
it's liberal subscriptions to the Repub-
lican campaign fund, the question
that Is being asked is, what has it
done now to merit exclusive informa-
ton and a chance to make millions, if
not for liberal subscriptions to the
Roosevelt campaign fund two years
ago?
Whatever Republican administra.
ton is in power, it does not seem pos.
sible to divorce this favored corpora
ton from the treasury of the United
States.

THE PLuNDERED FARMER.
Cotton Planter and Wheat Grower Pay
Tariff Tax.

Our exports of breadstuffs, meat
and dairy products, cattle, hogs.
sheep, and mineral oil have fallen of
over 100000, 900 during the ten
months ending April. The export of
cotton, however, has increased 1884,
000. 900 during the same period. Sure
ly cotton Is king and has saved US
from a greater drain of gold than tho
decrease of our other exports would
have undoubtedly produced to pay for
the increased cost Of our imports.
The increased cost of commodities,
both of export and import, has so
greatly added to the total amount in
dollars that the increase in quantity
has hardly kept up with our in
crease in population. Yet the in
creased total amount in dollars and
not in quantity is paraded by the adj
ministration as pointing to increased
prosperity.
If 1t were not for the enormous in
creas in the export of cotton, which
is entirely a matter of free trade, for
the producers of this great production
Of the southern states are entirely
unprotected by the tariff, we should
be debtors to Europe for nearly $780,
600, 900 more than We o owe and
have such a hard time in paying.
This shows that we have prospered
in spite of the Republican
theory and practice of protection and
the prosperity of the cotton grower
Is an unanswerable argument against
the principle that competition must be
eliminated by p%rohibitive tariff duties
to bring prosperity to the producers.
If the cotton growers and all other
agriculturalists had not been ham,
pered and plundered by the high
prices of the tariff protected trust
products they of necessity must buy,
their prosperity would have been that
much greater because they would
have sold their products for the same
prices and what they bought would
have been much cheaper. The pro-
tected wheat grower has sold his crop
for a very low price during the past
year, and yet he has also had to pay
trust high prices for what he has
bought. Now, when the wheat is
mostly out of the farmers hands, the
price has advanced, not on account Of
tariff protection, but because of specu-
lative buying in hopes of a profit on
the prospect of a short crop.
How much the farmers of the u
try pay for the benefit of the protec-
tive trusts and manufacturers depends
upon the amount of the goods they
purchase. AS the average increase in
the price of all goods has been over SO
per cent, every farmer, and everyone
else for that matter, can figure out for
himself that he has paid double the
amount he otherwise would in conse-
Quence of the tariff protecting the
trusts in charging high prices.

The President and the South.

John Temple Graves has aroused Sc
we're criticism of himself and Presi-
dent Roosevelt in Georgia by declar-
ing that Roosevelt could break the
solid south as a candidate for 1908.
Democratic editors in that state are
quoting from Roosevelts books and
speeches to show that he is at heart
a malignant slanderer of the southern
people. Among the extracts quoted
are those declaring that "a streak of
coarse and brutal barbarism runs
through the southern character" that
southerners were outlaws and trait
ors," and that Benedict Arnold, Aaron
Burr and Jefferson Davis were men of
like character.

FOOD
FACTS
FOoD
@
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts. yields as
much nourishment from n pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than n pound
of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large a pro-
portion of, as the body can take up
from one pound of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
of wheat and barley which are pre-
pared and by natural can predi-
gested, transformed into a form OF
sugar, ready for immediate assimila-
ton. People in all parts OF the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. mar says: II have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. a
truly recommend it to thin people"
He had been eating meat, bread, etc.,
right along, but there was no ten
pounds Of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that its use will reduce
the weight of a corpulsnt person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight Of a thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance OF
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body In .
condition of true health. Scientific Sc
lection of food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that in
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.

TO PRESERVE CURED MEATS.

Any farmer who has been annoyed
by flies which get at his cured meats
will do well to make use Of Borax. BY
following the directions given below he
will easily rid himself Of all bother
from shippers or other insects.
Directions: When the meat Is taken
from the salt preparatory to smoking,
thoroughly sprinkle all the cut sides
with Borax. Rub the Borax into the
crevices. After doing this a fly will
never touch it and you will have no
trouble with bugs or shippers. Meat
treated in this way need not be ran
.vassed or sacked.
Covington, Kentucky, have introduced
this method among hundreds of farm
ers In northern Kentucky with uni
form success. They write us that they
have some three year old hams in
their warerooms that were treated as
above and that they are as bright and
nice to-day as when first cured.
When you wish to use your meats It
is only necessary to wash them of.
The Borax is perfectly harmless. This
was established in the pure food hear
ings before Senator VIM. E. Mason in
1899.
1t Is quite essential that you get
pure Borax. There are dangerous
authorizations on the market. To be
safe you must get "20 MULE TEAM
BORAX." If your dealer doesn't carry
1t send us his name and we will ar
range to supply you. Free booklet OF
