FRUIT TO RESTORE HEALTH.
Dr.. Romme Recommends Ten Days
Fruit Orgy Twice a Year.

Fruit Orgy Twice Year.
DR.. Romme, we'll known medical
authority, asks in a French journal
whether man can live on fruits alone
and answers in the affirmative. says Il
special cable dispatch from Paris. An
ideal and more than sufficient fruita-
rian menu for the day is two pounds
Of fresh grapes, one pound of dry figs,
one-half pound of almonds and one
half pound of oranges.
The menu can easily be varied. Ba-
nanas, Strawberries, walnuts, chest
nuts and haZelnuts are among the
most nutritious fruits, while currants,
cherries. plums. peaches, apricots and
pears are also valuable.
DR.. Romme does not think it advisa-
BILE to live entirely on fruit. but
strongly recommends to every one a
fruitarian regimen twice a year for o
period of ten or fifteen days as mar.

Special to the Herald
Washington, D. c., Sept. 1.-THE
coming week promises to be well fill
ed with political events of interest
and Importance. During the early part
of the week public attention will be
centered on the state of New York,
where the republicans and democrats
will both hold their state conventions
for the nomination of candidates for
governor and other officers. The null
tiplicity of democratic possibilities for
the governorship and the bitter fight
in the republican ranks over the pro-
posed denomination of Governor E. e.
Hughes give promise of lively gather
ings at Rochester and Saratoga
Springs, where the conventions of the
democrats and the republicans, re-
spectively, are to meet.
Maine will be in the limelight Mon
day, when the state election will be
held for governor, representatives in
congress and minor officers. This be-
ing presidential year, and the eff
forts of the campaign managers to
make an impressive showing having
been eXerted in assigning speakers of
national prominence to lend their aid
in the Pine Tree State, the returns
will be scanned with interest. Arkan-

THROWN FROM A HORSE.
Narrow Escape From Serious Injury
BY Palestine Young Lady.

Last evening a few minutes after s
o'clock Miss Carrie Houseman was
the victim of what came near being a
most serious accident. She was one
of a party of young people out for a
horseback ride, and her horse became
unmanageable on Magnolia street,
and made wild dash down that
street, going in the direction of the
business section. When the pave
ment on Spring street was reached
the horse fell with the badly fright
ened rider. Several men rushed to
pick her up, and she was hurried to
her home on South Sycamore street,
where it developed no bones were
broken, and that she had escaped with
a few bruises and a very bad scare.

Monday, but as the contests were all
settled in the democratic primary
held last spring the voting is of a
purely perfunctory character.

CULTIVATION DID N
Fine Specimens of Cotton Shown BY
Mr.. Huffman, the Government
Man-Doing Good Work.

Yesterday Mr.. l.. J. Huffman, the
government man, working in connec-
ton with the U. S. agricultural def
partment, brought to the Herald of
flee some specimens of cotton, fully
opened, and magnificent, taken from
an experimental crop on his place in
this county Mr.. Huffman says it is
the finest he ever saw, and is the re-
suit of careful and intense cultiva-
ton, no fertilizer having been used.
Mr.. Huffman says the land was
broke first with a double plow; was
ploughed twice during the winter.
The crop was planted April ~, and
was worked over about every eight
days, the last time plowed being Aug.
90 The seed were selected, and were
of the Nebane Triumph. Mr.. Huff
man says every man in Anderson
county could have had cotton just as
good if he had employed the same
methods.
He says that in this crop he has
fully demonstrated the value of seed
selection, and intense farming meth
DDS.
Mr.. Huffman is doing a great work
for this section; work that will live
forever, for he is teaching people
how to get out of the old ruts in
farming, and how to farm scientific
cally.

NO CHANGE OF RACING DATES
President Manly Of the Maryland
Jockey Club Saws So.

BALTIMORE, Md. October S.-William
NJ. Manly president of the Maryland
Jockey Club, yesterday gave out the fol.
lowing regarding the approaching race
meeting:
$50 much has been printed recently re-
garding the change of date for the fall
meeting at PimlicO that l have thought i,
would not be out of order TO set the mat
ter straight i'm the minds of the Balti-
more public
The Maryland Jockey Club has never
been formally requested to postpone its
fall meeting until after election day. and
nothing could be more inaccurate than
the statement published in New York
newspaper to the effect that the Mary
land Jockey Club would not consent to a
postponement in order to get even with
the Jockey Club in New York.
The Maryland Jockey Club gets its
sanction for race meetings from the Jock
ey Club in New York. and has never had
any differences with the governing body
whose suggestions it stands ready 10
carry out at all times. AS far as l can
learn. the suggestions for change OF
dates came from some of the horsemen.
who thought that. If the Jamaica and
Pimlico meetings did not conflict it would
mean more racing days for therl.- as
AGueduct had taken over the Brighton
Beach dates aSd the fall meeting at Ben
ming was still in doubt.
1.-The fallacy of this reasoning was an
parent when it was realized that even in
case the dates were changed Pimlico
could not offer stable accommodations for
a large proportion of those that might
come. So we will race on the dates al
lotted. October ~ to November q. inclu-
sive. and can certainly promise our Bal
timore racing friends the best meeting
yet offered there

YALE'S SUB BACKS
ROUT SECOND TEAM

NEW HAVEN. Conn. October S.-The
Yale varsity yesterday scored three times
against the second team, taking the ball
across once during the first half of a
regular game and twice when the regulars
had been partially replaced by substitutes.
In the first half the varsity lined up
with Wheaton and Lynn in place of
Philbin and Murphy. who were given a
chance to rest. BY plunges the ball was
taken down the field. Coy carrying it
most of the time and finally taking it
over the line for a touchdown. Then the
scrubs had the ball for a while. Just
before the varsity goal was in danger
Wheaton recovered it. When the var
sity had advanced to the forty-five-yard
line Wheaton tried Il drop kick for goal
and narrowly missed, the strong wind
taking the ball just a little one side
of the post.
In the second half more substitutes
went in the only regulars>who remained
being Cooney, Biddle and Hobbs
Lilley went in one of the halfback po-
sitions and scored twice. Hopkins played
quarter on the varsity and put up d
very good game.

LOCAL TENNIS
PLAYERS AHEAD
Doyle Brothers Defeat WyIie
Grant and J. M. Henry.

The fact that Washington has some
sure-enough real tennis material was
clearly demonstrated yesterday afternoon
at the championship tournament of the
Chevy Chase Club. Before a large and
Fashionable gathering Conrad and Harold
Doyle played all kinds OF good tennis and
Won from their opponents in fine style
and they had real opponents, too.
Wylie Grant. who is tennis man from
the word go till the finish o: any match,
was defeated by Harold Doyle. while
Conrad Doyle took ]. N. Henry into camp
after two sets Of play.
Harold Doyle and Grant furnished per-
haps the best sport of the afternoon. 1t
took three sets to decide the winner.
Doyle took the first set in 6-1, but his
opponent braced and won the second by
4-6. The third was battle royal at the
start, but Doyle played rings around his
opponent later and won by 60
Walter johnson of Philadelphia also
played fine tennis and won from Hyatt
handily.
In the ladies' singles Miss Winner won
from Miss Meredith and Miss Evans from
Miss Turtle.
The semi-finals in the mems singles will
be played this afternoon. and some more
the local enthusiasts
johnson will meet Harold Doyle. Palm
eY will be pitted against Conrad Doyle.
and from the way the play of yesterday
afternoon impressed an impartial obServ-
er it looks as though Doyle and Doyle
will be in the finals. This result, how
ever, must not be accepted as a foregone
conclusion, for both of tie brothers have
opponents worthy of their best game and
it can be counted upon as surety that
neither will be a runaway match.
Conrad Doyle has been steadily i'm
proving in his style OF play since the
recent tournament at the Bachelors
courts. and at the present time Is play
ing in steady style. After vacation
spent in the south he had apparently lost
some q his old-time vim, but he has re-
covered this in record time.
Palmer is left-hander and shoots the
ball across the net i'm a style that de-
lights the praciced tennis eye. At times
the present tournament has been widely
commented upon.
