SMALL FARM ON CITY LOTS.

Some months ago an eastern maya
zine in an illustrated article. pictured
a one-acre farm near Lewiston and at
considerable length told of the amazing
revenues the owners, former locomO-
tive engineer and his wife. were TAX
ing off their little tract AS the figures
were carefully computed and verified,
the story attracted much attention from
the outside press. Now another story,
equally as wonderful as the one about
the one-acre farm, comes from Lewis
ton and shows what a small tract of
ground. under intensive cultivation. will
produce. The story as told by a cor
respondent of the Lewiston Tribune is
as follows:
"The story of the one-acre tract and
what two people have accomplished on
that amount of land in Vineland
Charleston. has been published extern
siveIy throughout the country and as
Mr.. Charles S. Fee, the general passen-
ger agent of the o. r. & n. railway,
Portland, said to the writer in a re-
| cent interview at the Chamber of Com
merce, Spokane, has done more to adj
vertise the Lewiston country than all
he other advertising ever done for this
valley. Mr.. Fee pronounced it the
greatest advertising stroke of its kind
! that has ever come to his notice, and
suggested that the Commercial club Of
lewiston Charleston could do nothing
| better than to. have it put out in booklet
form and given the widest possible cir
culatior.''
! Nov what we are about TO say is in
reference to what is being done right
here in the city limits of Lewiston, on
three ordinary city. lots. by Mr.. w. II.
Watson. at 211S. Twelfth avenue, East
| Lewiston Heighths, on the DIR. J. B.
Morris tract, which was placed on the
| market by the Lewiston Real Estate
company Three years since Mr.. Wat
son purchased of this company three
lots and has today one of the most at

and vegetables we have seen anywhere.
He has a lot and a half planted to

vest two thousand boxes this season

making one Of the most thrifty and at

is worth anyore's time to see this beau
ty spot of land, right here in our city,
surrounded by wild sage brush, and
shows what can be done on small
tract of Lewiston valley land through
intensified truck farming. Go and look

Mr.. William F. Vahlberg, Oklahoma
City, Okla, writes:
Zone bottle of Peruna which I have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of cafarrh of the
stomach, than years of treatment with
the best physicians.
II had given up hopes of relief. and
only tried Peruna as a last resort.
II shall continue using it, as I feel
satisfied it will effect an entire and
permanent cure.
Utmost cheerfully recommend Peruna
to all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as a last re-
sort. Doctors have been tried and
failed. Other remedies have been used.
Sanitariums have been visited. Travel
has been resorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief il
found.
This history is repeated over and
over again, every day in the year. 1t is
such results as this that gives Peruna
it's unassailable hold upon the people.
We could say nothing that would ado
force to such testimonials as the ABOVE.
That people who have had catarrh and
have tried every other remedy avail
able. find relief in Peruna, constitutes
best argument that could be made.

MUST MAKE GOOD
Tariff Revision Will Be No Per
functory Matter.

Observation-Disclosures Taft has
determined that insofar as he can control
events, one of two things must be done.
The platform pledges of the Repubilcan
party at Chicago must be lived up to
in spirit as well as letter by the house
leadership or Speaker Cannon must b
prevented from winning a reelection.
For two days there has been consider
able gossip afloat to the effect that a
fight with Speaker Cannon on the part
Of Mr.. Taft, was impending. This Cos
Kin has been looked on with skepticism
here, as it has been widely believed Mr..
Cannon has pledges enough to control
the Republican house caucus n a fight
against him would be useless. Moreover,
it has been doubted whether MIR. TAFT
would care to begin his administration
with such a struggle.
Mr.. Taft is determined to have abso-
lute assurance from Mr.. Cannon that the
platform pledges will be carried out n
that there will be a real revision OF the
tariff instead of a perfunctory one, it IS
stated in high circles.

-Four pounds of flour, three pints
milk and water, one-half ounce of salt,
IA ounces fresh compressed yeast.
Place the flour in the bread bowl and
In 1T put the milk, water and salt. Mix
with the liquid enough of the flour to
make it a thin batter, next rub the
yeast to powder between the hands
and mix into batter. Cover the bowl

or an hour. At the end of that time
mix In the rest of the floor smoothly
and let the dough thus made stand

ID minutes. When half done brush
hen with milk, return to the over
and finish baking them. 1t is a little
trouble but they are delicious when
done.

THREE BLACKS LYNCHED.
Soldiers We're Hurrying to Scene =
Protect Prisoners.

Tiptonville, Tenn.-The special trair
with troops from Union City on board
ordered here by Gov. patterson, arrived
within one mile of Tiptonville at 1880
O'Clock Tuesday night. They we're met
at the oil mill by Sheriff Hams, who in
formed them that their services were not
needed, as the three negroes whom they
were sent over to protect had been
lynched five miles below there.
The mob, after hanging the three men:
shot their bodies full of bullets and
yelled like madmen for some time. The
mad yells of the mob could be distinctly
heard as the many shots that were fired
into the suspended bodies of the negroes.
When informed hat there were con.
flieting stories about the actual seizure
of the negroes, Sheriff Hams gave the
following version, stating that it was
the true account of what happened: At
z o'clock ne was in the telephone office
talking to Gen. Caldwell at Union City.
When he went to the exchange the
were quiet and deserted. On
out he saw q number of men on
the streets, and starting hurriedly to the
Jail, was met by one of his deputies, who
told him that a mob of $50 men had
burst in the doors of the Jail, covered
the six men guarding the prisoners with
revolvers and guns and told them that
they would kill every n of them unless
they surrendered the three negroes.
Securing the prisoners, the mob loaded
them in a wagon and drove quickly out
town, being gone before the sheriff
knew that they were inside OF the con-
lines of the community.

NO CHILDREN IN $50 YEARS
Cornell Professor Says Race Suicide
Is on Increase.

Ithaca, N. Y.-Pointing out that in
the last fifty years there has been a de-
crease in the proportion of children born
to every 1000 women of child-bearlng
ape of 152 to a thousand, or about 30 a
year. DR.. Walter F. Wilcox, head of the
1enartment of statistics at Cornell Uni
versitv. told a class of Cornell students
today:
"These figures indicate that if changes
like these in progress in this country
during the past half century were to
continue unchecked for a century and a
half more, there would be no children
left"
Rejecting as unsound and not proved
the Spencerian theory that the advance
of civilization means a decrease in the
birth rate, and also the conception OF
,ome specialists that the spread CT alco-
holism in civilized countries causes a de-
cline. Prof. Wilcox said very plainly:
"The real reason for the decline IS that
in modern times, and particularly in the
half century, the control of births
and the birth rate has come under hui
man control in a sense and to a degree
never before true"

Chestnuts with Apples in Salad.

The chestnuts in market now make
a delicious salad with apples and Gel
cry. The domestic kind will do, but
are more work than the large i'm.
ported ones. Score shells of the nuts
and scald them SO that the shell and
skin will come off easily. Then boil
in sailed water until they are tender.
If the large chestnuts are employed
cut them in three pieces; use the
small ones whole. Mix the nuts with
an equal quantity of diced apples and
celery and dress with mayonnaise.
The chestnuts and apples are tasty
without the celery. Either the apples
or nuts are delicious alone. as a salad.

The flannel will absorb the water
