sIDELIGHTs ON Mr.. BRYAN =
%%%~&~ >%%>~

Golfers draws first blood in the
battle for personal articles concern
ing the presidential candidates with
which the country will be flooded
from now on until election time.
Under the caption, Bryan as a
speech maker" in its current num-
Der. two intimate glimpses of the
peerless one" are offered by men
who may be supposed TO know.
Speaking particularly of his chau-
tauqua activities, Edmund Vance
Cook presents some interesting fig
ures- He says that Mr.. Bryan has
filed from 100 to $50 lyceum and
chautauqua addresses yearly for a
dozen years; that in the course Of
last season he spoke in this manner
to 100000 people; that from this
source alone he makes in the neigh
hood of $25, zoo a single summer. ~I,-
200 being the record for one day.
From Robert F. Rose, the official
shorthand reporter of the two Bryan
campaigns, comes more personal
data. Early in his association with
the candidate, he discovered that Mr.
Bryan had never touched intOxicants
or used tobacco in any form. To this
fact and the Nebraskan's peculiar
power of TacuperatiOn. Mr. Rose at
tributes his phenomenal succe-s as a
campaigner. On his speech making
tours, Mr.. Bryan made it a practice
to sleep after each address and as
long as possible. If he had worked
himself into a perSpiration he was
rubbed down with alcohol and given
8 complete change of clothing
There have been times when Mr.
Rose fled as many as 10000 word ;
hx-A II in
and there have been days when the
candidate spoke Internationally from
five O'Clock in the morning until af-
ter hall past two of the following
morning. OF the 1,400 speeches re-
ported during the two campaigns no
two were alike.
Mr.. Rose further bears witness
that under the most trying conditions
he never knew Mr.. Bryan to lose his
good humor, nor did he ever snow
signs of physical exhaustion
In view of facts like these, for
facts they undoubtedly are, one can
more readily understand the hold
which the Democratic presidential
candidate has on the attention, if not
the votes, of the people. Admitting
the admirable qualities of his char
acter and his great abilities as an
orator, Mr.. Bryan has shrewdly cnos-
en- the chautauQua field as a corum
of unequaled reaching power for ex-
plotting his personality and his doc
trines; and. incidentally, legitimateIy
filling his pocketbook- During his
campaigns, he reaches directly a Iarg-
err number of the public than any
other candidates, excepting Theodore
Roosevelt, has been able TO do. He
can do that because of his splendid
physique, exemplary habits, regard
for the laws of nature, and a happy.
undaunted disposition. - Milwaukee

CROP DIyERSIFICATION.

Diversification of crops is the secret of successful farming according to the division of form management Of the department of agriculture-and prac- tical demonstration in various sections of the South has proven the axiom.
 Land which is persistently planted to one crop from year to year gradu- ally but surely deteriorates. There is land in many sections of the south, on which cotton was formerly profitably grown, but which now has had to be abandoned. after vain efforts and big expense for fertilizer The same is true of tobacco and cane. But this supposedly worn out land is potent with wonderful possibilities in the cultivation of some other crops-alfal- ia, hay, corn, vegetables, etc.
 The department rather condemns the practice of the southern farmer ill planting every square inch of his acreage and pinning his faith to one crop Not that there is any desire on JQe part Oi tHt dcIJeti tliitllI to ASSl S,tS' the acreage of staples such as cotton cane or tobacco, but simply because nine times out of ten diversified crops mean larger profits for the farmer. IL is claimed that the southern agricul- turalist loses sight of the fundamental principle of farming, which is that he should raise crops varied enough anC in sufficient quantity to feed his owr family.
 One result of the continued cultiva tion of single crop is the infection of the soil with spores of fungou' diseases peculiar to the plant grown The practice results in a rapid deple tion of soil fertility.
 Alfalfa would succeed spendidly o1 alluvial soils throughout the south, es pecially on river bottoms. The depart ment suggests the following for crol rotation: Cotton, cane, potatoes corn and peas, alfalfa. melons, sor ghum, cabbage, sweet potatoes, on ions, peanuts, tomatoes, etc.

LYDIA E. PINkHAM

Nature and 8 wOman'S WOrK com bined have produced the grande,st remedy for woman'S ills that the world has ever known.
 In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering.
 The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baff1e the most skilled physicians who have spent years Ill the study of drugs.
 From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe- culiar ills, more potent and etfica- cious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for Woman's ills.
 Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St., Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
 Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public.
 "For twelve years had been suffer ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what suffered, and at times l could hardly walk. About two years ago 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. ! followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E.
