In all ages the eating Of fruit

vanced dicticians advocate Che.
use of fruit and nuts exclusively.
The more reasonable plan, how
ever, seems to be to eat plenty
of fruit, y and that is the way
DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, the famed
pure food expert puts it. He be-
lieves that everyone should eat
fruit, say oranges or apples, and
they cost about the same, every
day. The nation seems to be
following this advice. 1T win
save doctor bills, says DR.. Har-
Wy w. Wiley. and who should
know better than he? But that
is a fundamental fact which ev-
eryone should know from exper-
fence. 1t is pretty safe to say
that the more fruit people eat
the better the health of the ma
ton will be.

Advertising is an art that has
grown but slowly Some Of the
old files of newspapers that are
kept stored away in the Congress
sional Library are Of the great
est interest because they give as
nothing else can certain aspects
of the times in which they were
printed. The House Beautiful
has found in one Of these old
newspapers some quaint little
advertisements and among them
is one of the little shop where
lemons were sold in Boston by
John Crosby. He called it THE
Basket of Lemons. This was
away back in 1863. and Citizen
Crosby mokestiy asserted that
his lemons were as large in
general as lemons commonly are
and that they were sold "at A
pounds per huddred, or ten shil-
lings per Dozen. That would
be from ten to twenty times the
present cost. And yet one Of
the free trade advocates in Con-
gress has the assurance last year
to charge publicly that the high
cost of living was due to the tar
if on lemons.
AS to Mr.. John Crosby's ex-
perience in running a five or six
line advertisement in 1869, what
would he think now to see the
of oranges and lemons
in California spending $15O,00O
in a single year and the grow
ers in Florida making an eKpen-
diture proportionately large to
advertise their ware, and beside
that, distributing to the consul
mers in the shape Of premiums
the entire product Of one big
silver ware mandatory.

Another county's
Printing Trouble

The News has had something
to say. and win have something
more to say with reference to
the public printing in Otero
county. Other counties and the
state as well, have had trouble
in this matter Ii every other
county in New Mexico paid too
much for its printing, that would
not make = valid reason for OF
ero county to do the same. How
ever the following from the San
ia Fe Eagle, may be of interest
as it describes conditions in an
other county. The first para
graph is quoted from the report
of the assistant travelling auditor
and the remaining paragraphs
are the Eagles comments:
The publication of the de-
linquent tax lists Of the county
was handled in an irregular man
ner. The statutes specifically
provide that all amounts involv-
ing ar expenditure of more than
$500 be let by contract to the
lowest bidder. In placing the
publication Of the delinquent tax
list, the expenditure exceeded
s4, 200 and was not let by aid OF
contract. It was placed with

SPEAKING OF MIX-UPS
Lynn, Mass, Sept. 23.-Of all
the queer mix-ups caused by love
and conscience, Lynn has the
queerest.
Matthew Council, wealthy man
ufacturer, recently was exposed
as bigamist. Because he was
rich man he was soaked only
500, and wife No. 2 said at the
time that she would not sue for
divorce. Wife No. l took him
back.
Now John Cornell, D years
old, younger brother of Matthew,
has married wife No. 2 in order
to square the affair up.

"and in doing so l have won a.
wonderful wife. We are sure we
love each other, and expect to be
very happy.

how, so her boy could legally
bear the name of Connell."
This wife No. 2 was Laura
Cavanaugh, of Gloucester. Mat
thew Cornell met her in Portland,

ing which, for reasons best known
to himself, he was going under
the name of John Henning.

FOREIGN BANKS.

LONDON. May 9:-The rate of discount
of the Bank of England was reduced

quence of the banks stronger reserve,
brought about through the inflow of gold

the market rates to 27s per cent, and con-
sequently the Bank of England would
have found it difficult to make a 3I1 DER
cent rate effective.

taken into the Bank OF England on
