How 70 Buy Good Bananas,

When you are buying bananas never
purchase the long thin ones unless you
want fruit which will pucker your
mouth. No matter how well ripened
these thin bananas are. they will al
ways be found both sour and acrid,
This is because the bunch containing
them was packed too soon. The ba-
mana grows faster at first in length.
When 1t has reached its fullest devel-
opment in that direction 1t suddenly
begins to swell and in a few days will
double lis girth 1t Is at the end OF
this time that the banana is ripened
naturally. and the effort of the banana
importer is to have the fruit picked
at the last moment and yet before the
last ripenlng has progressed even
enough to tinge the bright green OF
the fruit with yellow. A difference OF
twenty -four hours on the trees at this
time will make a difference In the
weight of the fruit. perhaps % per
cent. and all the difference in its final
flavor between a puckery sour and the
sweetness and smoothness which are
characteristic of the ripe fruit.

CARE OF THE TEETH.
How to Brush Them Properly and sarv
Dentists Bills.

bSntlStS 6iHSs
To have pretty, strong teeth is. or
should be, an important matter to ali
women, and If through neglect as a
child discolorations and filing are in
evidence the problem is difficult one.
OF all the rules and regulations laid
down by experts and all the powders
and washes on the market or to be
made at home none is so important as
regular care. If child has been
brought up to brush her teeth regular

ter TO have pearls" of which novelists
discant. But acids more or less harm
less and beaches are expected in lat
or years to make up Tor lack Of at
tention in the past and often in the
present.
Astonishlnglv few persons know how
to brush their teeth This may seem
a remarkable statement, but one may
demonstrate it the next time a brush
is used. 1t is rubbed across the teeth
instead of up and down, and a mo-
ment's thought will show that rubbing
across will clear the middle or fiat sur
face, but the edges or curves are left
absolutely untouched; runs an article
In the New York Telegram. The mo-
ton should always be from the gums
down to the tips on the upper jaw and
from the gums up on the lower. IN
this way, and this way only, are parti-
Giles removed from between the teeth
and the whole surface gone over. Add
ed to this dental floss should be used
soft coarse silk that is drawn back and
forth between the teeth at the base,
bringing out distractions too small or
too far in for any brush to reach. Floss
should be used after each meal and al
ways at night. Many dentists bill
would be saved in this way.

SUBSTANTIAL, THOUGHTFUL LIFE PERIODS

1t is a common thing for elderly folk
to look with somewhat of envy on the
young generation and wish ii might
renew their youth. None Ia deny
the charm of youthfulness and all of US
have admired the potential forces of
the young man or woman but in the
mind of Spectator the period of life
that has chiefest charms is not so much
that of youth and youngness of life as
it is the period of most perfect de-
velopment which we usually term mid
dle-age. Between the immaturity of
youth and the falling of life's evening
shades there is a stretch of some thirty
or more years that bespeak the mature,
ully-developed and perfectly strength
ened life. The woman occupying this
magic space in life's span is no longer
bud but full-blown flower with beau
ty and grace all her own. Sweet six
teen and sweeter six and twenty attract
and delight but the woman of the gold
en- period of attainment reigns aqueen.
The man who has set foot upon the
broad acres of mans estate having Civ
en- over the fleeting things of boyhOod
and having learned the lessons of exper-
fence which make the best schooling for
all young men is a ruler of no less pow
er and dignity than is his sister, the
queen. Physically and mentally these
middle years of life are a harvesting
period when many hundredfold are gath
cred. Not until the coming of these
years of fullness can any man appraise
the world and what it offers; until then
the doings of the world seem but a
play and the men and women of every
day life but puppets. but when the
mans vision dawns the world comes to
be mighty thing and the folk in it be-
come the mans fellow strugglers in the
ever-increasing stress of life.
Truly, of all kingdoms over which one
rules between cradle and grave none so
wonderful as that of the middistance.

The new theory advanced by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stom-
ach has attracted such widespread
attention that the public in cities
visited by the young man has been
joined by many physicians in a dis
cussion of his beliefs and medicines.
Mr.. Cooper says that human health
is dependent almost entirely upon
the stomach. He says that no dis
ease can be conquered without hrst
alleviating all stomach disorders. He
further says that most men and WON
en- of this generation are haif-sick
owing to degenerate stomachs. And
lastly, ne claims that his New Dis
covery medicine will rejuvenate the
human stomach In 80 days.
Cooper has been travelling from
one city to another, conducting In
each what he calls campaign OF
education. For the past year he has
met the public In the larger cities
of the country, and his success has
been phenomenal. Thousands or
people have fiocked to his headquar-
tiers wherever he has gone, and the
sale Of his medicine has been beyond
ANYTHING of the kind ever before
witnessed.
Possibly the most interesting fea'
ture of the attention this young man
has attracted Is what his army OF
followers. whom he has converted to
his beliefs through his medicines,
have to say on the subject. The fol.
lowing statements are from two well
known residents OF Chicago aud Bos-
ton, respectively, and the enthusiasm
OF these is Characteristic OF Cooper
admirers generally.

VERNON COUNTY CENSOR
OLIVER C. MuNsoN, Editor and Proprietor.
WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER ID, 1907.
CONFIDENCE ONLY IS NEEDED.

The late and present stringency in
money circulation is largely the result
of over-speeulation by bulls and bears
of Wall Street, the financial center of
this country. II is also true that the
spirit of i'll speculation has pervaded
every small hamlet and community
For five years past there was so much
of prosperity and speculation that peo-
PIE in all walks of life became con-
taminated with the ''get-rich'' conta-
gion, and as natural consequence in
vestments were made in all the wild
cat propositions that the fertile brain
of clever schemers Were capable of
producing. The day of reckoning al
ways comes, dearly bought of sousre by
a vast majority.
Thanks to level financial heads and
conservative men of affairs, the tide
has been stemmed and the current d.
rected in the proper channel and we
are again drifting to safe and sane
shores. The dangerous period of the
financial flood has passed; confidence
will be quickly restored. This must
come through the assistance of every
man who works, the big financier, the
business man, and he who hives by
the fruits of any profession. There is
no lack of money in the country, east
or west; the only danger lies in the fear
that the indutrisal classes, the farmer
and the laborer, who have their saw
ings deposited in banks and places of
investment, may become restless and
demand their dues at unreasonable times.
Just now is the season for moving to
market the products of the farm, and
it requires inIWisconsin alone, millions
of money. The banker and the man
who buys the stock, farm products, the
dairy supplies, and all other commo-
dities, must have the confidence of his
neighbors and his fellowmen. Don't
get distrustful, have confidence and
courage; help your townsman and
speak a word of encouragement on
every occasion. Then the crucial test
is won and we shall go on as a com
munity and individuals.
There is nothing whatever, in bust
ness or financial conditions in this
country to cause uneasiness to any man
who is engaged in an honest business.
Nothing said on the present financial
furry is more to the point than the
following from thoughtful exchange
The man who puts his money in
safety vault. or hides it away in a
stocking, at time like the present,
retires from circulation a medium
which everybody needs, and does more
to add to the stringency than any other
class of men. Keep the dollar in cir
cuIation. The banks are sound and
prosperity viii continue if e, rybody

arms and ran with 1t into the tany
sculiery. On the front window there
was no blind, only small, much worn
curtain covering the lower panes, and
he did not want any stray loafer to
gaze in at him and discover q large
quantity of luggage in such a disrepu-
table howell.
When the fourth bag was disposed
of in the dark recess Of the scullery he
paused for an instant to listen. There
was not sound. Through the window
he could dimly discern the roof of the
deserted stables opposite.
he bent again to the task of packing
the fifth portmanteau and was placing
in it the last parcel of ore and dia-
monds when some of the heavy con-
tents fell through one end where the
drugget wrapping had been hastily
folded.
Shaking the package on the floor as
a grocer beats down the contents Of a
sugar bag, he picked up the fallen speci-
mems and put them in, one by one. A
large lump of c had fallen apart
when it dvopped. Inside there was a
huge kernel, rough diamond quite as
large as hens egg.
Philip smiled as he recalled his boast
to Isaacstein. He examined the stone
critically and realized that if it were
flawless it must be one of the marvels
of creation. Without experiencing any
positive motive he slipped this unique
specimen into his pocket and went on
with the reconstruction of the damaged
parcel.
At last he finished The portman-
teau was lying open on the floor when
the thought occurred to him that he
might have avoided the furry and trou-
BILE of carrying these heavy articles
into the scullery if he had nailed cou-
pie of yards of his drugget across the
window.
1t was not too late even now to recti-
fly this defect. He glanced at the win
dow to ascertain how much material he
should cut off and saw a face-an evil,
brutal, suspicious face-peering In at
him over the top of the curtain.
