WILSON'S STAR IN DESCENDANT

Six months ago the average political
observer would have been ready to assert
that Governor Wilson OF New Jersey had
a better outlook to secure the democratic
nomination for the presidency OF the
United States than any other aspirant
Now all this has changed
At the present time many democratic
leaders are looking askance at the New
Jersey executive. His transformation
from an opponent OF the initiative, tn,
recall and the referendum to the most
radical champion of these and other meas
ures hitherto opposed by the orthodox
democracy has been so sudden that no
body who has him classified to-day knows
where to find him tomorrow.
Even Col. George Harvey, the versatile
and able Vermonter, who edits Harper
Weekly and supervises the publication OF
other Harper publications, and who dis
covered Woodrow Wilson as a presden-
tlal possibility, has dropped him like the
traditional hot potato.
The latest evidence OF Wilson's swift
descent down the political toboggan Is &c

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 22.-Dr. Scott

economics at the University of Penn

gatherings into night dress and pa
jana parties could he have his way.
In lecture at Swarthmore College

Nearing said young women should at
tend evening functions in night
dresses rather than impoyerish the
providers through the purchase of
Paris creations; which were prac-
tically worthless after being worn
once or twice.
AS the young men were endeavor-
ing to suppress their merriment the
noted teacher of economics turned
upon them.
And young men,y he said, Il
would suggest that instead of wearing
evening clothes when attending ex-
elusive social functions that you go
attired in pajamas. Some of you pay
as much as SIS and 500 for such

Gus.

The more people know of the new
remedy, Root Juice, the more con-
WINGED are they of the wonderful mer-

pie have bought it at Howell's drug

they are so loud in praise of it that
their neighbors are going ito the

icine it is hard to keep it in stock.
Testimonials are being piled upon tes-
timonials fro mevery direction, and
many are buying the juice because 1t
is doing so much gfood for some
neighbor or relative. Root Juice has
certainly created a great sensation over

time with a very painful kidney and
bladder trouble; had to get up every
fifteen or twenty minutes during the
night l would sometimes so suffer
with my back and kidneys that I would
have to walk the floor for hours at a
time. began taking Root Juice when
it was first introduced here, and after
taking it a short time I wish to say for
the benefit of my friends and others
who suffer as l did that I am now free
from all pain and rest we'll at night
am rapidly regaining strength and
am much improved in every way" MI
Oscar Green, of the same point, r. r.
No. 8, said: Before taking Root
Juice I had a very bad stomach trouble
of long standing. After eating a meal
I felt like I had knots or rocks in the
pit of my stomach. I bloated very
much and had a burning in my stom-
ach that panied me very much ami
caused me to be very nervous, but the
first dose of Root Juise I took soothed
my stomach and caused me to feel
better and after taking the medicine
a short while I can eat anything with
out suffering for it." We are told that
the people at the drug store are glad
to COVE any information within their

Fruit Crop is Not Very Badly
Hurt Yet
Tender Buds Withstand the Bitter Cold
Of Past Two Days Very WGIl--.GFGat-
est Danger Feared Now is a Killing
Frost This Morning.

Waving aloft a handful of fragrant
blossoms from his big peach orchard
of $4,000 trees, Supt. ]. L. Grawson
came to Americas yesterday with the
comforting assurance that the buds
had again withstood the icy onslaught
or early morning, and up to that hour,
at least, were deemed safe
From the great Bagley-Ray orchard,
the Raymond, the South Carolina or
chard, the Mitchell and Hansford or
chards, the reports were equally as
Ireassuring.
Col. N. A. Ray and Supt. Verdery,
of the Bagley-Ray orchard here, the
largest peach orchard in the world,
are equally confident that the blooms
and young buds were not hurt yester>
Iay, the coolest day of the year.
1t was four of five degrees colder
yesterday morning than on the day
previous, and thick ice was in abund-
ant evidence.
But, fortunately, there was no frost
yesterday. Frost this morning is more
to be feared than was the ice forma-
ton yesterday. A killing white frost
would wipe out the, crop in a twink
ling. If today is passed without loss
to the crop, all danger for the presen
at least, will have subsidized.
"Smudge" fires were again lighted
last night in some of the orchards here
to keep off frost. Growers here are
using every means possible to save
the peach crop.
A. c. Lewis, assistant entomologist,
says that many individual owners
throughout the state are trying to save
some of their fruit by placing heat
ers' burning crude oil and smudges
consisting of brush heap fires and
burning logs in their orchards to keep
the Temperature up by artificial means.
By this means. it is said, at least
that heavy frosts can be prevented
in the vicinity of the fires.
