TO FARMERS.

The Democratic party in its plat
form pledges itself TO foster the in
terests OF agriculture BY introducing
into our public schools, especially In
the counties, modern and advanced
education and training in agriculture
and farming, by improving and en-
larging the present plan Of Farmers
Institutes, and by improving the cur
riculum and equipment Of the Mary
land Agricultural College with view
to extending its practical usefulness
through the rural sections of the
State"
There j. no more important pledge
in the Platform than this, or one in
which farmers are more vitality in
terested The analysis Of the soil,
the determination of the character Of
fertilizer it needs for it's reparation,
the termination of seed, SO as to Sc
Iect the best for planting, will all
be taught in our public schools, IL the
Democratic party should be in a po-
sition to redeem this pledge.
You will look in vain for any such
specific promise in the Republican
Platform

COUNTY TREASURER.

Oliver T.. Dodrer, the Democratic
candidate for County Treasurer, has
filled the position for two years to the
satisfaction OF all who have had bust
ness with that Office.
To a natural adaptation for the
work of the Office, he has added much
BY experience, until he is now an
ideal official, and his services al
most indispensable to the taxpayers
OF the county.
This Is an Office Of much import
ance. all the money collected from
the tax payers Of the county must
pass through his hands, and It's prop
er disbursement and accounting can
but be acquired by experience, and
this he has had, and 1t might be I'm
fortunate to all to dispense with his
services for another without his ad-
yantages.

What to Eat-Wiley.

What a person must eat to be heal
thy and happy was answered recently
by Or. Harvey w. Whey, the Govern
ment's food expert, who says 1t all
depends upon the individual. Here
is what the Doctor says upon the
proper feeding OF the nation:
For the infant there is no better
diet than mothers milk. If that is
not to be had, pure. wholesome
cows milk will do.
1.-THE growing child needs a gen
erous diet OF fruit, bread and mod
crate amount of meat. But all pure
stimuli, such as tea, coffee, cocoa and
artificial drinks containing caffeine
and allied drugs, should be excluded.
While the diet for the child should be
generous, great care must be taken
that it is not excessive.
For the grown man weighing LOO
pounds the diet should be as varied
as possible, in order that he may not
become satiated with any one kind Of
food. This does not include bread,
meat, butter, eggs and other staples,
which can be eaten every day. Fruit
is not to be omitted, because 1t Is not
only nutritious but very wholesome.
1.-THE man at hard labor must have
starchJ sugar and fats. for the burn
ing of these furnishes energy for
work. For instance, man who Ia
bors with his hands thrives on corn
bread, potatoes and fat meat. For
potatoes syrups- good, pure syrups-
can be substituted.
THE man with the sedentary po-
sition should avoid too much corn
bread, starch, potatoes and fats.
There are persons who thrive on
fad foods but in my opinion the av-
erage man is omniverous and should
eat wholesome mixture or foods.
IF the girls were taught proper
methods OF cooking eggs and meats
they might be spared the necessity Of
making cakes and buildings Good
cooking and nutrition do much to
restrict the evils or divorce, add
much to the happiness of individuals
and strengthen the power OF the ma
ton. They will make happy and
efficient lives, lead to contented old
age and make death speedy and
painless when 1t does come. Carroll

THE NEGRO AND THE REPUBLI-
CAN PARTY,

In many Of the counties Of Southern
Maryland, and the Eastern Shore, the
Republicans have made no nomina-
lions for the Legislature, and other
local offices, SO as to enable the ne
groes, who comprise a large portion
OF the Republican vote in those local
tiles, to correctly mark their ballots
for Governor and other State offices;
thus tacitly admitting that their only
hope for success is based upon the
colored vote, and rightly 80, for they
embrace more than one half the voters
OF the Republican party in Maryland.
This being SO, what will the Re
publican party, should it succeed, do
for the negro? Appointment to Fed
eral Office can only be obtained, il at
all, through a Civil Service examina-
ton, the negroes, or very few OF them,
are capable of successfully passing
such test; this restricts them to
State patronage, and it is here they
must be provided for. 1t is foolish to
say II won't BE- done, it will be done.
the maintenance OF Republican rule
here will be staked upon it.
The negro is no longer the political
chump he once was, he knows as well
as you do, that he numbers more than
one half OF his party in the State, and
that without his aid, success for it
would BE- impossible; with this as a
lever he Will demand what he wants
and he will get Il too.
This is much too serious matter
for white men to ignore; It involves
the peace and good order Of society,
as well as the tranquility Of the State.
III an emergency, such as this, II
becomes Us to lay aside party fealty,
to be neither Democrat nor Republi-
can, but Anglo Saxon, and to avail
ourselves Of the only means at hand,
for the preservation or white supre-
macy-the Democratic party.
