Celebrated Chemist, After Examina.

Which Is Best for Babies.

Some years ago a celebrated chem
list. after examining the milk of differ

as to which was the best milk to raise
babies on The Jersey had too much
oil In II, the Holstein too much cheese.
and the milk from the Devons was the
hest, as il had more sugar In II and
nearer the milk Of the baby's mother.

then a young mother died leaving a
baby twelve days old. and It so hap
pened that the father read this report.
so he rented a fresh Devon milk COW
and fed the babe on the milk of that
COW for more than two years She
grew up to be a fine, large. healthy
young lady. and at fifteen years OF age
was two inches taller than her father
and in her class at school with girls
much older than she was.

1t is good practice to graft plums

A spraying of the currant and other
small fruit bushes will help.
Fruit should never be offered for
sale that Is exposed to flies.
An orchard neglected for one year
virtually puts it back three years.
If the rabbits have gnawed only the
outer BARK, wrap the wound with cloth.
If your orchard produces poor fruit
you may be sure there is a reason
and you ought to find ii.
Grape vines make beautiful arbor,
and If properly taken care of will pay
their way every year in fruit.
Do not be stingy of water for the
plants. Soak them plenty once or
twice a week. and don't dribble once
day.
It is a great mistake to pick out the
poorest soil on the place on which to
plant the orchard. The best is none
too good.
If man sells fruit of which he is
ashamed then he should throw away
his stencil and conceal all evidence
Of his ownership.
The flowers will require close atten.
ton now to keep them tidy. Pick off
all the seed pods and dead leaves and
keep after the weeds.

Greenville Will Have Treat

The citizens Of Greenville are To have
treat on Washingtons birthday,
when they will have lecture by one
OF the most brilliant Law yers in the
country; namely, Hon. Francis j..
Heney, the famous prosecuting attor-
ney of San Francisco.
Mr.. Heney will be remembered as
the man who conducted the case
against the grafters Of San Francisco
and secured the conviction of Abe
Reuff and his colleagues. So bitter
was the fight on the part of the grafiers
that they attempted the life of Mr..
Heney, and one Of their hirelings shot
him one day during the trial as he sat
at his desk.
Anyone interested in this lecture can
learn full particulars by writing to the

CROOKED VOTERS UNDER
EYES OF THOUSANDS
Honest Ballot Association Has
Net Spread All Over City
for Them.

The Honest Ballot Association an.
nounced last night an offer Of ten re-
wards Of $500 each to the first ten per-
sons respectively who shall cause the ar
| rest and conviction Of any person who
registered or voted in more than one
| polling place in the present election. The
! offer covers the registration days Of Octo-
| Der IL, II, IS and 10 and the election to-
morrow
All officials whose duties include the en-
| forcement Of election laws were barred
from receiving a reward. and the associ-
alton announced that II more than one
person should aid in any one arrest and
conviction the reward would be distrib-
uted
The men interested in the association
have pressed the work of preparation for
Election Day. and they are confident that
they will be able TO obtain evidence
against large numbers Of Illegal voters
and put the practice Of repeating and
fraudulent voting TO an end.
Quietly and without hint TO the public
the association engaged 500 watchers, who
started their activity during the four days
Of registration last month. Each man
was provided with cards Of the size of
a postal card which were prepared for
quick and easy taking Of personal descrip-
tons.
When a man entered 10 register and
began to give the data required to the
registration clerk the watcher for the as
ISOLATION took down on a card the mans
name and address and then marked his
height, build, age, complexion. color OF
hair and so on, obtaining as perfect
description as possible under the circum-
stances.
To make Identification more certain in
eases where the watchers had already SUI
fcient ground for suspicion, forty men
armed @ith cameras made cir rounds
ard took snapshots OF the suspicious fig.
ures, These pictures have been developed
and will be used for identification to-
morrow.
All this complicated work was forced
upon the association because OF the i'm
possibility Of obtaining convictions with.
out such evidence. out of nearly 1000
fraudulent registrations reported to the
Honest Ballot Association sufficient EVIL
dence TO insure indictments could be
found in ffty-four cases only, and these
cases have already been turned over to
the District Attorney.
According 10 the reports received by the
association, thousands Of names were reg
istered which were either entirely ne
titous or represented persons no longer
living at those addresses or persons who
died II appeared impracticable to fol-
low up such cases with a view to prosecu-
ton, as proof OF the wrongdoing could
not be obtained after a man left the reg
istratIon place. The association then pre-
pared the scheme Of Identification and ex-
poets great results from IL.
For many years 1t has been the prac-
tice TO have different set OF men cast
the fraudulent votes after another set had
registered illegally With the aid OF the
Identification cards the watchers Of the
association will be able TO detect these
men quickly

ADVISES VOTING EARLY
President Britt of Election
Board Issues Statement.

]. Gabriel Britt, president OF the Board
of Elections. gave out "A statement yes
terday, in which he urged upon the
voters the Importance of getting to the
polls at the earliest possible moment.
The polls are open from 6 a. m to p. m,
and Mr.. Britt believes II his advice is fol-
lowed there will be no possible excuse
for the failure of any citizen TO cast his
ballot properly.
Owing to the unusually large registra-
ton in certain parts Of the city, the
Board Of Elections has found II necessary
to divide certain election districts so that
the vote may be more easily handled by
the election officers.
In his advice to the voters, President
Britt says:
Experience has taught us that a great
deal of delay and annoyance Is caused to
the voter by an abuse Of the right to
challenge conferred by section No. S52
II often happens that persons clothed
with the authority OF a watchers certif-
Icate challenge not In good faith. but
simply TO display their authority, or else
TO secure some selfish partisan advantage.
Impeding the process OF voting from
such motives, we believe amounts 10 a
criminal offence, and we have conferred
with the state Superintendent of Flee
tions and other officials 20 the end that
such persons may be properly dealt with
However | again repeat, the most inn
portant thing is that the citizen present
himself OF the polling place and vote at
the earliest possible opportunity. IL he
so presents himself, and is illegally pre-
vented from voting, he has then all the
more time TO apply to the courts for
proper redress.
