4 CANDIDATES REASONS.
The Card of a Missourian Who Wants
 to be Secretary of State.

The old-time candidate for county office always took particular pains to kiss all the babies he saw That gave q personal touch to the campaign, for every baby was a vote getter. If the candidate was anxious to cinch the vote he went on to say that he had Q baby, too. The tie that binds parents was as close as that of being 6 mem- Der of the voters lodge.
 But in the decadent days of the twentieth century conventions of phy- sieians have condemned the kisser of babies and the politician never can tell whether he will lose vote or win one using the old system,
 To a Missouri democrat from Jaspe, county belongs the prize for the most advanced and scientific method of us- ing It. His campaign card on one side is like all other cards.

The sanitarian does not Danish meat

make much Of II, and the red meats
and pork are rarely Used. Chicken and
fish appear to be the least harmful
OF dietetic solids, in his opinion.
The person who resolves to cut down
the meat diet with view to improv.
Ing his general condition will be
amazed, the sanitarian declares, to
fird that after few days he will feel
lighter, better in mind and capable Of
more effort. And hot water taken In.

junction with restricted diet that one
who persists In the treatment for a
few weeks will never go back to the

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.
IF 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 a lot Of
holly berries every winter and stew
them. She would take the fluid and
put It 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 Jar Of holly salve and doc
tor us. And when get a home and
have children | shall have salve the
year round. "--Nashvill Tennesseean.

6otanlsts at Work on Development Of
Hardy Specimen.

Botanists in the employ of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture hope to bring into being an or
ange tree which will be as sturdy as
the apple tree; an orange tree that
will not perish In the chill of north
ern winter. which In December will
bear its wreaths OF snow and In May
it's garlands OF bloom, and when sum-
mer comes will yield fruit as good as
that sweetened in the south sun.
This may seem to be an unnatural
proposition, but 1t only seems so. No
violence upon the laws of Nature has
been or will be attempted. 1t is
simply an effort to make the citrus
tree which bears the sweet table or
angemas hardy and insensitive to cold
as the citrus tree which bears the bit
ter, unedible orange. By crossing a
citrus tree which grows in the north
and which bears the unedible fruit
with the citrus tree of the south 1t is
sought to beget a plant which will
be combined the good traits of each.
Government botani..s are confident
that the results of this citrus marriage
will be scion that will grow and fruit
at latitude midway between the
northern limits Of the sweet and bitter
