Natures Color Box.

Mother Nature is a great artist, and
will beautify the plainest face if she
has a chance 1t sometimes takes
months or even years for her to COM
plete her task, but it can be done with
patience and full surrender to the invis-
IDLE genius.
Onions, from leeks to Bermudas, are
bleaching, and so are lemons, asparagus
and celery. Spinach is the broom of
the stomach, as the French say, the
sorrel, in soup of PURGE. as they cook 1t
in the provinces and at the students
restaurants in the Latin Quarter, is a
great beautifier. Dandelion, lettuce
and all the salads will bring out the red
and white tints of the skin.
Beets, carrots, tomatoes, strawber-
ries, raspberries, cherries and black
berries are red and blood making, de-
veloping infantile loneliness in cheek
and lips if eaten, not now and then, but
three times day. This is the fruit
cure or Garden of Eden breakfast, and
it will be remembered that Eve had no
patent medicines, cosmetics or doctors.
Pineapple is good for the stomach
and air passages. Rice, all cereals and
white vegetables, such as caulifiower
and parsnips, are wholesome But
pickles and piecrust, hot cakes and too
many sweets will make one look pasty,
because they lack the acids and salts
which nature needs to cleanse her ma
chinery. Oil she must have, too, from
the olive and nut, to keep the internal
wheels revolving.

The Better Land.

Walt Mason in the Emporia Gazette:
There is a better world, they say,
where tears and woes are done away:
there shining hosts in fields sublime
are playing base ball all the time, and
there (where no one ever sins) the
home team nearly always wins. Upon
that bright and sunny shore, Wen new
er need to sorrow more; no umpires on
the fields are slain; no games are called
because of rain. So let us live that we
may fly on snowy pinions, when we die,
to where the pitcher never falls, nor
gives man first base on balls, and
where goose eggs don't adorn the
score, and shortstops tumble never
more.

Learning by Doing.

The best way to learn is by doing
things and having little help from
teachers and preachers as SUCCESSORS
That is the kindergarten method, that
is the way we learned to walk and talk,
that is the way the farmers child learns
to work and think and be self-reliant.
You can get learning by reading, but it
will be technical, limited, narrow.
The best way to learn how to help the
poor and the misfits and the helpless is
not by reading or lectures or going
stunning, but by doing your summer
ing In the tenements and your winter
ing In the lodging houses, by being one
OF the people. Then and only then do
you acquire the right understanding
and the right sympathy, sympathy that
enables you to put yourself in their
place, feel as they feel and get some
idea of what can be done. When you
have done this, you will know something
of the facts and the needs, and what
to do with your powers.
You don't see country life or the farm
ers by touring the country or on a sum-
mer vacation. Go and hire out. Take
the work on the terms of the regulars.
Take the days pay that you earn and
the food and the lodgings that are pro-
vided you. Then you will know a good
deal more than the general idea of the
down-trodden ranch owner. You may
find him as severely capitalistic as the
railroad owner and less regardful of the
health and comfort and living wage of
the hirelings.
Jack London writes practical and
great books, because he writes about
nothing that he has not done and lived
himself in the ordinary, practical way.
l write or talk about nothing that 1
have not learned by doing and being in

HON. CHARLES II. cAssILL.

One OF the most popular resolutions
passed at the republican county con-
vention last week was that which en-
dorsed Charles II. Cassill for renom.
nation for state treasurer.
4 No public man enjoys greater conf
dence and respect Of friends and
neighbors who know him best, and 30
state treasurer before him eyer put
up a s5OO, 900 bond signed by friends
and admirers within the limits OF his
home county, a mark OF confidence
and admiration that any man ON
earth might be proud of. This bond
was signed by Lincoln county farmers
and business men, and the men who
signed it could have qualified for half
a million more. This shows stronger
than any language how the present
state treasurer Is esteemed andy APP
preciated at home, and an additional
evidence Of his popularity comes from
his unanimous endorsement by the
county convention.
He is one of the brightest and
b~rainiest young bankers in the north
west and has won his present envi-
able position from a foundation laid
in toll and honest effort, climbing the
ladder step by step, leading closely
and conscientiously a christian life,
frightened and %broadened by church
and Sabbath School work. He is lib
eral in his views, steadfast in purpose,
and aver and always a champion of
the rights Of the people.
Such is the gentleman the LEADER
presented to the people two years ago,
and In presenting his name for re-
nomination at the June primaries, we
take great pleasure in stating that
we are proud of him and his record
and that he stands squarely for need
ed reform in handling the money of
the state. He with others at a meet
ing Of the Roosevelt Republican State
League at Huron in December last,
publicly pledged the League and the
membership thereof, to secure the
enactment of a law that will give
to the state all interest accruing
from the deposit of state funds in any
bank. 1t makes no difference who
the next state treasurer may be, and
II it is MI. Cassill, he will cheerfully
aid and assist in securing the enact
ment of such a law as proposed by the
Republican State League,
organization which MI. Cassill
helped to organize and vas its first
president.
All republican state treasurers from
statehood have enjoyed the perquis-
ties Of the Office, believing that the
heavy bond and responsibility attach
ed to the Office required additional
beyond what the law permitted
and the custom established, was con-
tinued year. after year, but next win
ter when a reform legislature meets,
a law will be passed prescribing the
Of the state treasurer which
will include a section covering inter-
est on state funds.
All former state treasurers deposit
ed the state funds in Chicago banks
while Mr.. Cassill has every dollar of
state money I'M banks within this
state where it belongs.
Mr.. Cassill stands pledged for re-
form in the treasurer's Office, and his
friends all I've the state congratulate
him and the Roosevelt Republican
State League for their prompt and
action, and the LEADER be-
that Mr.. Cassill will be nomin-
ated at the June primaries and
elected by a much greater majority
than in 1905.
