Holly Berries as Medicine.

The holly berry has value other
than aiding In making the Christmas
decorations beautiful" said Lawrence
Beech OF Cullman, Ala, at the Tulane.
III one will take holly berries when
they have ripened thoroughly and stew
them for about two hours the finest
medicine on earth can be had for
burns and chaps and skin diseases
The juice OF The holly berry has been
used in my family for years with
greatest success. When my mother
was living she used to get lot Of
holly berries every winter and stew
them She would take the fluid and
put 1t up in Jars. When one of us
children got burned right badly and
chapped lips from going out in the
cold too much, or had any kind of skin
irritation, mother would always get
down a jar of holly salve and doc
tor us. And when ! get home and
have children ! shall have salve the
year round. Nashville Tennesseean.

ARKANSAS WOMAN LOST
SOMEWHERE IN OKLAHOMA

Rogers, Ark, Nov. 6--The sons Of Mrs.
W. T. Phillips have instituted search
for her and her husband, who have
strangely disappeared somewhere in the
boundaries Of Oklahoma. The authorities
Of the new state have been called upon to
cid in the search. Mr.. and Mrs Phillips
left their claim in New Mexico about Oct.
list to travel over land in wagon to their
old home near Huntsville, Ark. They were
last heard Of near Shawnee. Ok. from which
point they wrote one son, j. A. Dotson, Of
Rogers, Ark, that they would arrive at
the home Of Lawrence Dotson at Choska,
Ok, in few days from that date. Oct.
18th. Since that time their whereabouts
have been mystery. Lawrence Dotson
has gone to Shawnee TO take up the trail,
but thus far his efforts have been fruitless.
In addition to Mr.. and Mrs Phillips the
party consisted Of boy and girl about
eight and six, respectively, and they drove
d team Of large black mares when they
left New Mexico. Relatives fear foul
play. while others think il more likely
they attempted to ford swollen stream

South American Inns.

A traveller who recently returned to
Philadelphia was narrating some OF
his experiences in South America at
banquet of globe trotters. He had
skirted the entire coast of South
America and had found the inns o.
hotels in most sections very poor. So
bad were they in Peru. he said that
one American who had been thrown
into jail pending some dispute over
his papers and after his release had
s. ught the hotel Of the town, returned
the next day to the jail and begged
that he might be taken in
The most curious sign he had seen
was in the window of a restaurant in
Buenos Ayres. which read American
cafe-champagne and fried potatoes. -

Awkward LANGUAGE.

Japanese typos have their
troubles. X Suqimura, library editor
of the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun, says that
he especially admires the linotype
machines. -Unfortunately we are un-
able to use them in Japan. for our
language has AZ letters, as well as
over 5000 Chinese characters, and
such a number of types is, of course,
beyond the capabilities OF any ma
chine yet invented In the printing
office of our newspaper in Tokyo the
compositor must often walk the
whole length of the room to fetch one
character, instead Of standing in one
place before a single case, as the Eng
lish or American compositors can do"

The Woman WHO eamhl.s.

Moralists say that the emotion Of
gaming makes women ugly. Il is not
necessary to take the word Of the
moralists for that Gaming does not
make women ugly; it unmasks them
and It is Of that that they must be
warned. It is natural enough, since
they play passionately. and in playing
thhey forget the world and their faces.
So much the worse for those who do
as Jezebel. Jean Lorrain has left ter
rible pictures Of old painted faces the
natural condition Of which is revealed
by the excitement of play.

FOR THE USERS OF TOBACCO.
Assertion That Plant Was Certainly
Placed Here for Good Purpose.

1t is passing strange that, with all
the experience at command, the ply
siologists are never in agreement as to
the effects of the smoking habit. Even
where lay opinion has been fairly well
established by the apparently well d.
gested views of the scientists with re-
spect to certain phases of the whole
problem, they are wholly liable to up
setting by the latest opinion. For ex-
ample, two considerations have long
been thought to be determined-tha
moderate indulgence in tobacco need
not be denied, and that the lad not
out OF his teens would better abjure
tobacco altogether 1t may be assert
ed that man is not smoker by ma
ture; and certain effects of tobacco
seem to indicate, without especial ar
gument that the longer the acquire
ment Of the habit is postponed the bet
ter for the human system. At the
same time the remote antiquity Of the
tobacco plant suggests that 1t is one
of natures unassisted growths; and,
IL It were not designed for man to en-
joy in security, neither is 1t at all
clear that 1t is to be classed with ma
lures productions. .-Providence Jour

Samos, the autonomous Greek

duties YOU desired him to perform
When you go ont among the mass Of
the great American people to select can
didates for the high Offices of president
and vice-president, is it not necessarily
fitting and proper that you should select
those who have had the training that will
fit them for the performance of those
duties? Such men you have in Judge
! Taft and Mr. Sherman.
Now what do they stand for? For
the principles of the Republican party
What are those principles Those which
come nearest to your personal and daily
interests to your business affairs, affect
ing your prosperity, making it possible
that you should prosper.
TARIFF QUESTION is FUNDAMENTAL.
There is one great cardinal principle
upon which the Republican party stands
that is as old as the history of this
country 1t was the first great political
question that was ever raised between
the factions or the people of this coun-
try 1t grew out of the conditions which
were the cause of the formation of this
ton as to the meaning of the constitu-
ton they are permitted to forget it or
disregard its principles
am not going into a long or learned
discussion of the constitution of the
United States. | only refer to it as the
foundation principle upon which my re-
marks will rest, for it is the basis upon
which the candidates lay their claim to
the suffrage of the American people.
Political platforms are simply an ex
preston of the application of the princi- !
pies of the constitution, They make no
new law They are, however, the ground
work of political parties and no party
can exist which does not rest upon dec
Iaration which we term a platform. In
the absence of this it is mere scramble

you have heard it discussed perhaps al
your life, but | see before me a vas
number of younger people; people t.
whom this question is new; peopl,
whose experience does not reach bacl
to the time when this question was The
living. vital, burning question in thi:
very valley of the Snake river. The
world is great workshop; all the worlc
is a great workshop in which men and
women of varying conditions of intel
ligence and civilization, capacity and ne
cessity, dwell each according to his own
environment and nature of varying gov
ernments and varying conditions. But
they all labor; they all produce some
thing, and they all sell it in the best
market that they can find for it.
AMERICANS DEMAND PROTECTION.
The American people since the be-
ginning of the Government have con-
tended that they were entitled to be pro-
tected against competition with the peo-
pie 0 fother nations whose civilization
was of lower standard, who work for
lower wages, and who can produce for
less cost The American people have al
ways claimed this, and the problem has
been how to grant it,
That problem was first solved by the
Republican party; and when | use the
remark Republican party" in this re-
gard | mean the principles of all parties
that are in conformity with what now
constitutes the Republican party The
remedy which was to protect the Ameri-
can workman and producer OF material
in this country against the competition
with countries with a lower standard
was found in a discriminating tariff rate.
Levy a tariff on the goods that come
from those cheap countries so they can
not come in competition with the product
Of your labor. That was the solution.
The remedy was first applied by the
Did Wing party, which was the Nest
or of the Republican party 1t stood !
or protective tariff on all goods from
)ther countries TO a sufficient amount 1
o make it improbable for foreign |
,ountry to enter our market, or if they /
inferred to contribute to the expenses of /
he Government by the tariff rates they
honld pay. That is the tariff question.
That is the great cardinal principle upon
which the Republican party stands be-
ore the country today and asks for
our suffrage; asks for your votes for
