patent for a safety device for pistols, and
the exclusive right to make, use and

At times when you don't feel just
right, when you have bad stomach,
take something right away that will as
sist digestion not something that will
stimulate for a time but something that
will positively do the very work that
the stomach performs under ordinary
and normal conditions, something that
will make the food digest. To do this
you must take IL natural digestant like
Kodol For Dyspepsia. KodOl is a scien.
titic preparation of vegetable acids with
natural digestanls and contains the same

dose will digest more than 5000 grains
of good food. 1t is sure to afford prompt

SEEDLESS TOMATOES.
A Medium Small Variety With Flesh
of Particularly Fine Flavor.

A Medium Small Variety With Flesh
of Particularly Fine Flavor.
The production of any vegetable nov
city always arouses interest among
seed growers and gardeners. More or
less of this work has been done by the
experiment stations. For number of
years breeding experiments with vege-
tables have been carried on by Pro
fessor Halsted and his associates at
the New Jersey experiment stations
Among the distinct and valuable pro
nearly seedless tomato. AS is well
known, each fruit of the ordinary to
mato contains hundreds of seeds, while
the form which Professor Halsted has
developed seldom contains more than
fifty seeds, and frequently there are
not more than FIVE or six and often
none.
This variety has become pretty well
established now and has been called
Giant because Of the very large size
that the plant attains 1t originated
five or six years ago as a result of a
cross of Golden Sunrise upon Dwarf
Champion.
The flower clusters are small; flowers
cup shaped, light lemon yellow. and
the fruits few, medium small. light
yellow and nearly seedless.
The flesh Is particularly fine favored.
The plants lowered up to the killing
frosts.
The type appears to be well fixed
Attempts to cross other sorts upon it
have uniformly failed. Seedless fruits
have also been produced by Profess
or Halsted on several varieties and
crosses Of tomatoes. due probably pri-
marily to nonpollination with other
conditions favorable to the stimulation
Of fruit production.
These crosses were quite uniformly
dwarfed In size, many in cluster be-
ing not larger than peas, but solid flesh
ed and often of good quality. In one
instance the fruit had the flavor of the
strawberry. Currant crossed upon
Stone produced such fruit; likewise
Crimson Cushion upon Sumatra When
Crimson Cushion was crossed upon
Giant and Magnus many seedless
fruits were produced. some of which
were large enough for table use.
The work with seedless tomatoes is
being continued and promises to result
in the establishment of varieties with
far less seeds than the sorts commonly
grown.

The rotting of potatoes In storage Is

PLANT FOODS.

Farmers Opportunity to Save on the
Fertilizer Bill
BY r. j. DAVIDSON Virginia experiment
station.
The elements necessary to the growth
of plants may be divided into the fol
lowing groups:
First.-Those that are furnished In
abundance from air and water
Second.-Those which are furnished
in abundance from the soil.
Third.-Those which are not usually
furnished in abundance in an available
form from air. water or soil. as nitro
gen, phosphorus and potassium.
Nitrogen is found in large quantities.
chiefly in the uncombined or free state
1t constitutes about four-fifths of our
atmosphere. In this form 1t is only
available to leguminous plants. such
as peas. beans. clover. alfalfa. etc.
through the influence of micro-organ-
isms found in soils and living in nod
ules on the roots of plants of this fam
lily. In the case of all other plants the
nitrogen is taken in only in combina-
ton with other elements. Combined
with hydrogen it forms ammonia.
which may be taken up In small guam
titles. With oxygen it forms nitric
acid, and this combined with some ele-
ments in the soil forms nitrates. These
are readily taken up by plants and
form the principal source Of the plants
nitrogen.
Expensive to Purchase.
Nitrogen is the most expensive ele-
ment the farmer has to purchase. 1t
costs at least three times as much as
the phosphorus or potassium. 1t Is also
the element most likely to be deficient
in the soil, as it is readily converted
into soluble nitrates and In addition to
being used up by plants is sometimes
leached out of the SOIL There is large
quantity of free nitrogen in the air. By
growing leguminous crops we can oh.
tain a portion of this nitrogen and store
it up in the soil In fixed and available
forms in the roots and stubble or in
the whole crop turned under We can
the soil of this element without any
cost and in addition obtain an excellent
food for stock in the form of clover
hay, alfalfa hay. etc. 1t will thus be
seen how important 1t is for the farmer
to grow one of more Of these nitrogen
gathering crops on his land as often as
his system of rotation will permit and
thus save purchasing this most ex.
pensive element of plant food. 1t is
poor economy to buy what we can have
for the taking, especially when the TAX
ing costs nothing

MISS LINTON FINISHES
 CASE AGAINST MITCHELL

Thomas1ille, Ca, Dec. 2.--with an interesting chain of cifcumstantial evidence completed during three days testimony, the prosecution in the Mitch elI-Ldnton Kidnapping case finished It's evidence tonight.
 Summarized, this evidence is to the effect that Miss Linton's would-be ab- ductor- was disguised as a woman; {; that she recognized the supposed wo- mans voice as that of W. H. Mitchell, the hours immediately preceding the attempted kidnapping. was seen at several of the points where the im- portant lines of the romantic plot were being laid. These points included the alleged sending of 6 deeoy telegram to Mss Union. and the alleged pur- chase of female clothing resembling that worn by the negro woman.
 The defense began the calling of bua did not attempt q to develop im- portant testimony.
 One witness, a Moultrie (Ga.) bar Der, said he believed the man at MouI- trie7 whom the Saate's witnesses had identified as Mitchell, was stouted than the defendant.
 Although the defense did not out line its plans, 1t is generally expected that Mitchell will rely on an alibi. One of the unusual features has been 1 the frankness with which Mitchell ad- mitted in statements previous to the trial some of the purely circumstan 1 tial evidence against him. He has maintained all the time that he couId not explain these circun4stantial inci- dents when given the opportunity, The case will be continued tomorrow.

They say fat IS because the fat persons digestive organs are de- fective. Such organs. 1t seems, don't change the fatty foods eaten by stout persons into heat and energy, as they should. Instead the food fats pass Hence fat layers accumulate under the skin in quiet spots. such as the chin, abdomen, shoulder blades, etc.
 Let that digestive defect be correct ed and the formerly fat person goes back to his or her original shape.

 The indictments charge murder Tn the first degree, the putting to deatn of Captain Quentin Rankin at Walnut Log on October 19, felontous assault the attack on Colonel R. z. Taylor, and aconspiracy to inGict corporal punishment on sundry and divers per" sons."
 Twenty-eight of the indictments against men already In custody were made public and charge participallon in the Walnut Log raid. Among those named is Ed Marshall, who was the first of the alleged night riders taken into custody to be released on bona. His re-arrest is now probable, the crime which he was charged when he was released not being capital or fense while today's indictment charges him with having had a part In the killing of Captain Rankin. Tom Johnson, one of the men held at Nashville, is also included amone those indicted. He is charged sWitn conspiracy to infiict corporal punish

Haheas corpua Hearlng.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 2-Judge Thomas E. Matthews. in the Circuit Court here today surprised the States attorneys from Union City, who are here to secure the return to Obion County of Garrett and Tom Johnson, Sam Applewhite, Roy Rowsom' Bob Lee, Jesse Carter, Lige Cloar and Bob Human to answer to indictments charging them with murder, by hold ing that sheriff, attorneys and every one in any way connected with the ser vice of capiases on the prisoners here, guilty of contempt of this court.
 He further staed that the technical arrests made yesterday on the pris- oners in jail were illegal.
 Attorney Hill attempted to alfay the impression in his honor's mind by stating that no contempt had been in- tended and that no actual service was had on the prisoners, the return set- ting out that the demand of the ca- phases could not be complied with.
 His honor replied that that was an after thought.
 Judge Matthews stated that he had thoroughly investigated Ahe matter, did not believe that contempt was inc tended and that he had no disposition to punish anyone, but that he had a well settled idea that everyone con- nected with the proceedings was in contempt of this court.
 The prisoners, with the exception of Jesse Carter. who is sick in the hos pitaI. were brought into court shortly before o'clock, accompanied by Sheriff Borum and a half-dozen deputies.
 Counsel for the prisoners dtj moi ask for their absolute release, saying that an officer would probably be waiting for them with another capias or warrant, but asked the court to allow the men reasonable bond. He said they were poor men but could make bond in any reasonable sum-
 Before court adjourned Judge Mat thews asked counsel for the defense what size bonds they would regard as reasonable and Mr. Pierce replied as to Garrett Johnson, $10,0O0; Tom Johnson, $10,0O0; Lige Cioar. $1O,000i Jesse Carter. &10,000; Bob Lee, Roy Ransom, Bob Huffman and Sam Ap' plewhite, S5.00O each.
 The court room was well crowded throughout the hearing.
 Judge Matthews ruling holding that all persons connected with the serving of the capiases from the Obion County
