been overlooked to an alarming
extent by too many of our good
citizens. Even members of the
city council, according to several
witnesses, were viOlatOrS of these
ordinances. In fact the jury it.
self, from the evidence, was not
altogether free from this taint of
diSreSpeCt and disregard for city
sanitary regulation. A bad state
of affairs, truly. Good. however
will come of it, for either these
ordinances or similar ones will
be enforced from now on or the
city government be wiped out
entirely. Such is the present
healthy public sentiment and
that being the case, public events
to come will begovorned thereby.
The jury in the case was out
some ten minutes returning Il
verdict of acquittal.
The City vs.. John \, Wallace
and other similar cases have been
dismissed.

For County Treasurer.

The News is authorized to an
nounce p. II. Young as a candi-
date for treasurer of Randall
county. Canyon City has no bet
ter men than Pat Young; he is
also qualified for the Office and
capable of attending to all its du-
ties. He has many friends here
who think he ought to be our
next county treasurer, and if
elected there is no question but
that he will give satisfaction in
that capacity.

Denies Running Away.
Mr.. EDITOR:

see in The News Of January
10th, you claim that | slipped
away and could not be found to
make that speech you seemed to
have me down for. Now you or
| must have been dreaming about
that speech, as | have no recollec-
ton of making any such an agree
ment with you, and my wife
said for me not to 90 and make
fool of myselfand | thought | had
better take her advice, as | have
missed it many times by not do
ing so. But as | think these sale
days might be quite an advan-
tage to both city and county. and
you know little beginnings some
times make good endingS, as we
used to read in our old school
books, Large trees from little
acorns grow: large streams from
little fountains flow, - so | hope
you will drop on to better timber
for a speech the first Monday in
February, and that day will
show much more interest taken
by the farmers as the city and
county must work together for
their mutual good and develop
ment of this part of our beauti
full country, and if everything
works well | will try to be on
hand with my Plymouth Rocks
a.Din. | have sent to Kansas for
a new invoice but as the mer-
chants says [ will be compelled
to add freight, they will be
little higher than my own raising
and maybe a little better stock.
Now as To chicken raising, |
think a farm without poultry.
eggs and butter, like a house
wrjnout a baby, not much good.
| know families between here
and Amarillo who are keeping
the family expenses paid in this
way and perhaps make from one
to three hundred dollars per
year off of their poultry and
diary products, while perhaps
the man has lost from five hun
dred to one thousand dollars on
his stock during that same time.
In my opinion it is a mistaken
idea to leave all this work and
worry to the wife and daughters
of the family, but they should
have more encouragement from
the fathers and sons, prepare
good places for the poultry, keep
these places clean and well ven
tilated. Dry goods boxes about
in different places so the chick
ems can be scattered are a great
help. Furnish plenty of good
feed and water, without which
no stock of any kind can do well.
How often it is that the farmer
feeds most of his crop to hogs.
or cattle and then ships to Kan
sas Git, md when he comes back
and you ask him how he came
out on his shipment, and just
little blue he will say, "Oh, we
had a slow run and got in day
late, cattle looked bad, and it was
showing all day-pOor day to
sell-and of course got it in the
neck" | have been Watching
this one thing for the last. forty
wears. The farmer who stays
strictly at home and raises some
stock to eat the grass and rough
ness of the farm and sells most
of his crop on the market comes
out the best.
Well. Mr.. Editor, | must bring
this to close, but | thought !.

SECRET OF LONGEVITY.
Successful Diet Of a Lively Young
Fellow of Seventy Eight.

| Writing to the Sun corresponds
ent says: | was very much interested
in the editorial in your issue of Feb
ruary % on Professor Metchnikofrs
book on longevity, and ask the favor
of short space in your columns to
relate my experience. TO begin with,
| am now IS years old and am still
| in excellent health. I can walk three
or four miles day without any IA
tigue, and SO far as I can Judge my
head appears to be about as clear as
| it ever was. You can see from my
manuscript that my handwriting is
quite firm and legible. Now, l was
born with a delicate constitution, and
up to my forty-ffth year I was far
from being robust and suffered from
nervous headaches of the most ex-
cruciating kind, which attacked me
every MONTH
Up to that time l had been a hearty
eater of animal food, seldom less than
three times day. But when /
reached this period of my life my
headaches became so frequent and I'M
bearable that | determined to make
radical change in my diet. 1t re-
quired a good deal of pluck to do it,
but resolved to relinquish at once
my diet Of animal food at least Of
dead meet. / still clung to my fresh
eggs, creamery butter and pint of
as pure milk as i could get; but all
food of slaughtered animals put
resolutely aside. 1t was some years
before l found much change in my
physical condition. My headaches
continued, although / found them
gradually becoming less violent and
frequent. But after had passed my
tiftieth birthday / found myself in
better health than / was at 4J and
able to get through my work more
easily.
But even when / was vegetarian
was hearty eater, and the thought
came to me that | was eating too
much and that perhaps | would be
more 'elastic" and have fewer head
aches, or maybe none at all, if
didn't eat half as much. SO | tried the
experiment of reducing my diet TO
very simple and as some may think
very meagre proportions And I am
inclined to attribute my present Wig
orous old age very largely to my
steady persistence in my frugal and
simple diet. / may mention that NV
headaches are now a thing of the
past.
To give you a fair example of nv
daily meals | will tell my food for
this day: For breakfast, one good
sweet orange, two slices of well but
tered graham toast and large cup
of fresh milk; for dinner, one fresh
egg, two slices of buttered graham
toast, large cup of coffee, half fresh
cream, and about half pound of good
Malaga grapes; for supper, one cup Of
fresh milk, two slices graham toast,
and saucerful tapioca pudding. In
the course of year | also eat a good
many apples between meals, which
believe are purifying to the system.
/ never touch alcohol in any shape or
use tobacco in any form. When I
get into open places | breathe as
deeply rs / can, and always sleep
with the window of my room open.
] do not say that such a regimen
would be good for everyone. only
believe if I had not practiced 1t I
would not have been writing this let.
ter TO you to-day.

CASTKU WON'T ARBITRATE.
Refuses to Talk Over Matters In Dis.
pute With Us.

Washington, March A. Venezuela has
again declined to arbitrate the ques-
lions of controversy which have been
pending for some time between the
Castro adm inistration and the Ameri-
can government. This time the re-
fusal is made specific with respect to
each Of the questions separately.
1t was explained at the state depart
ment that the presentation by Minister
Russell Of each of the FIVE points in
dispute with request for arbitration
leaves no foundation for a future rep
resentation by Venezuela to the effect
that she was not asked to arbitrate
any Of the questions separately.
In asking arbitration Of the differ
ences the American government left
open the question Of the machinery Of
arbitration to be employed! This gov
eminent would have been glad to have
had the controversies go to The Hague.
Failing in this, it is believed any 9TH
err duly appointed tribunal would have
been acceptable.
