There has been considerable eom-
plaint of late about boys playing ball
on the streets. Last Thursday boys
threw base ball through window
in The Herald office and it was nee
essary to have chief Costello get after
them before the damage was repaired.
A day or two later some boys threw a
ball against the large memorial win
dow in the east side of the Methodist
church, breaking some of the glass
and bending the frame work. The
damage done was considerable. 9th
er damages OF similar nature have
been reported. Consequently Mayor
Minette has instructed the police to
permit no one to play ball on the
business streets. This order will be
strictly enforced.-...

CANCER AND LEPRosY.
A Theory That Connects These Dis
eases With BIackheads.

A Theory That Connects These Dis
eases With 1lackheads.
A French surgeon named Borrel has
recently delivered a lecture at the
Ecole de Medicin in Paris. in course
Of which he advances a novel theory
concerning cancer and leprosy. He de-
clares it to be his belief that the ba-
cillus Of either malady is concealed In
the black pinheads or blackheads
which often disfgure our faces and
from which,. particularly in the nose
and chin, scarcely any one is entirely
free. When extracted these pinheads
or blackheads have the appearance Of
little worms. They consist Of what is
known as sebaceous matter, this mat
ter being produced from certain glands
with the object Of supplying the skin
with it's due quantity Of oil.
DR.. Borrel has been experimenting
powerful microscope. that this seba-
ceous matter nearly always contains
bacillus which is cancerous or crab
like in form.
After the age Of fifty most persons,
male as well as female, throw off much
of this sebaceous matter in the ordi-
nary process Of aging. The face and
chest in particular exude most seba-
ceous matter. 1t is about this age. de-
clares Borrel. that cancerous develop
nents begin to make their appearance.
and the coincidence is worth remark
ing.
Hitherto heredity has been charged
with being the real promoter OF can
cerous and leprous evils. it being as
serted that the insanitary conditions
Of former ages were responsible for
bringing the bacillus into being. The
Metchnikovian theories OF micropagy
and macrophagy have, however.
throw new lights upon the subject.
Given the theory, moreover. of Hack
el's-tO wit. that the intelligence or all
living organisms. no matter how small.
enables them to secure the best oppor-
tunities for survival-it is conceivable
that the crab bacillus of cancer may
have found the sebaceous matter In
the face the best region in which to
promote his happiness and propagate
his species.
DR.. Borrel advises those whose face
and body are disfgured by blackheads
to beware. A solution of alcohol with
from 2 to 3 per cent of salicylic acid is,
he says. an excellent preventive. Lem
on juice is also good. - New York

Long ago the Scotch learned this.

The sturdy old Scotchman must be
amused at the recent discoveries that
oatmeal is the best food in the world.
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Ameri-
cans eat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say: "Look at our
nation as proof. The sturdiest nation
on earth" Still we have one good point
to make. We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy Quaker Oats and consider
it the leader of all oatmeals to be had
anywhere. If you are convenient to
the store you'll probably buy the
regular size package. For those who
live in the country the large size family
package is more satisfactory. Follow
the example of the Scotch; eat Quaker
Oats breakfast every day.

POTATO CULTURE
Good Advice Given by Man Who Has
Made a Thorough Study of
the Question
(By A. r. Koehler)

Varieties: Early Ohio is the stand
ard early potato in Minnesota, and
finds ready market for seed in the
South There are other good early
varieties, but they are not so well
known.
Carman No. 3, Sir. Walter Raleigh,
Rural New Yorker No. 2 and the So
called Burbank, are all good late vari-
cites. 1t is to the interest of farmers
in any community who wish to sell
potatoes, to agree on some standard
variety of potatoes and all raise one
variety or possibly one early variety
and one late variety. Then buyers
can get carloads of uniform potatoes
and can pay from to 20 cents more
per bushel for them.
Soil and Preparation: Is Potatoes
thrive best on a rich, deep mellow
soil. Clover sod, fall plowed, manur-
ed, then thoroly disced and narrowed,
is the ideal place for potatoes. Any
good, well drained land, manured,
plowed to inches deep, and well
disced and narrowed, is a good place
for potatoes. A crop that may yield
a large income per acre, as potatoes,
will usually return a greater profit for
extra labor expended upon it than
will less intensive crop like corn or
grain. .-......
Seed: Select smooth, uniform po-
tatoes for seed, just the kind you
want to raise. If seed is scarce and
high in price, small potatoes may be
planted occasionally, but it is not a
good practice to follow as this has a
tendency to run out the variety. If
in the least scabby, treat before cut
ting by dipping for two hours in a
solution made of 30 gals. water and
one pint of formaldehyde. Cut in
pieces with at least one good eye. If
seed is not too expensive it pays to
make pieces OF. to II OF. in size.
Planting: Early planting is usually
preferable. On good loam or Sandy
soil, plant about in. deep. On very
heavy or poorly drained land it is
often better to plant shallower and
later hill slightly. Plant in drills 3
feet to 81 feet apart and IA to IS
inches apart in the drill. When a
planter is not at hand, furrow out
in. deep with shovel plow or common
plow, cover with harrow or cultivator
or with snow plow with nose cut off,
hauled backward.
Early Cultivation: 1t is good
practice to blind cultivate where pos
sible before potatoes are up. Guilt
Vate deep and ridge dirt over rows;
later level off with harrow. This
keeps the soil mellow and free from
weeds both in and between the rows.
Cultivation after the first time should
be frequent and shallow.

serIiner Drinks Seventh of Income.

. A German phvsician, DR.. Hirsch'
field, has been computing the quantity
Of alcoholic drink consumed in Ber
lin. Berlin possessed three years ago
1882 drining shops-one for 610 in
habitants-in addition to 301 where
wine only is sold. During the period
the Berliners consumed 438,939, ,532
liters of beer, 24,704,525 liters OF
brandy and 19,956,062 liters of wine
This works out at an annual consump
ton a head OF the population of 236 IA
liters of alcoholic drink, at cost OF
100 marks, a mark being one shilling
AS the average income of the Ber'
liners, inc uding women and children,
is about 6S3s marks. it may be said
that the Berliner spends a seventh
part of his income in intoxicating
drinks.

d. P. Caldwell, one of our well known
citizens, in this weeks issue
as a candidate for Alderman of Union
City. AS everybody knows Mr.. Cald-
well is a bookseller and stationer, and
one Of our progressive, enterprising bus
mess men. He has always been deeply
interested in whatever tends to the up
lifting and advancing of our business,
educational, political and religious in
terests. He is, in other words, an ac-
tive, useful citizen. Mr.. Caldwell a few
years ago was III of the promoters of
our agricultural street fair, which led to
the organization of the West Tennessee
Fair Association. Lately he was al
most solely instrumental in securing
the finances for the purchase of Alex
ander Hall, one of the recent substan-
tial additions to the rapid development
of the Union City Training School.
While a former member of the Board Of
Mayor and Aldermen Mr.. Caldwell was
very active and attentive to the interests
of the city. He was the member who
suggested the system of establishing a
flat minimum rate for the city lights,
all those with metres, thereby largely
increasing the revenue from that plant.
He was chairman for some time of the
street committee and personally directed
a very large per centage of the thing
that was utilized in improving our
streets. Mr.. Caldwell is always an ac-
tive man along progressive lines and
comes before the voters asking an in
dorsement of his claims for that office.
