No Conspiracy
 In Brandt Case Graud Jury Ex0nerates All Those Attacked by Schiff's
 Former Servant

The February Grand Jury that has been Investigating the case of Foulke E. Brandt, who was sentenced to thirty years in prison for burglary in entering the house of Mortimer L. Schiff, his former employer, in 1907, made a presentment to Judge Grain yesterday. The presentment said that no evidence of any conspiracy to ob- tain a long sentence for Brandt had been discovered, and exonerated every person who has been attacked in con- nection with the arrest and sentencing of this criminal
 The first presentment of the Grand Jury was rejected by Judge Grain, be- cause it said that while Brandt may not have been guilty of burglary in the first degree, he was, in the minds of the jury, guilty of grand larceny. The jurymen were told that they had exceeded their duty in passing on this aspect Of the case, and they. were sent back to frame new present. ment. This was quickly done. The offending paragraph was cut out, and then the presentment was accepted by the court.

HOME HEALTH CLUB

BILLIOUSNESS-Pe often take something for the liver" when there is nothing whatever the matter with the liver. They are bilious when the liver is simply doing it's exact duty. It is not the secretion of too much bile, by the liver, but the fact that the bile is not carried off because of the lnac- tivity of the bowels.
 The natural course of the bile is downward, and when it does not go that way, billiousness follows and with it a train of woe. The lack of activity in the lower stomach and intestines forces the bile upward and into the stomach and there is where the real trouble begins. It is not that there Is too much bile, but that it has gone % the wrong place. It has gone there because of impaction of fecal mat ter in the colon, intestines, and so on, upward. The bile crowded into the stomach is absorbed by the blood and this causes the yellowished, jaundiced coioring of the skin so common fn bill lious and constipated persons.
 What could be a more natural Sug- gestion than that one in such con- dition needs a washing out ?" The system needs to be cleansed of inn purities
 Of course, the first thing to be done is to remove the cause, and to do that, quit taking on the impurities. For the time being even bread and meat are impurities. Coffee, tea, alcoholic drinks and tobacco are impurities from beginning to end Instead of bread and meat for a while let the diet be of Juicy fruits and vegetables. Oranges, bananas and stewed prunes are good in the morning; apples, stew ed apricots and peaches in the even- ing. Good fresh vegetables Of all kinds. nroperlv cooked, and fruits in their season, such as grapes, berries, etc, may be partaken of freely at oth- CT times of the day.
 Having thus prepared the system for the washing out," apply the remedy for billiousness Take a quart of pure, distilled water or filtered rain water, neat it to the boiling point-do not let it boil-remove it from the direct heat and while it has retained the temperature as nearly as it can be to what it then was, pour out a cupfu, add few drops of lemon juice, if you

 Washington, March 29-A wide split between progressive Republi- cans, over espousal of a third par- 4 ty'' caucus became known, today. Representative Laferty, Oregon pro. gressive, predicted formation of the <third party" during the national Re. publican convention. Other "progres- -sives'' came out squarely against a third party"
 There must be a new alignment of parties and I regard formation of a third party at Chicago as practically certain said Laffety. ''I am ready to go with the new party if it is led by LaFollette or Roosevelt. I am for LaFoIlette first Democrats would join third party I believe. They are dissatisfied with their standpat administration. The progressive and standpat factions of the Republican party are hopelessly divided as far as the two poles. Reconciliation of diff ferences under one leader is impos- sible-" Representative Prouty, Iowa progressive, took an opposite view
 There is no immediate prospect or necessity for a third party he said.

LEAVES DEATH CHAMBER WITH
 USUAL SMILE
Young Tanganelli, Calm to Last, Pays Penalty For Killing
 Mrs. Mamie Davis
Special from United Press.)

wethersfield, March 29-The State of Connecticut. shortly after midnight today, killed Andrea Tanganelh, an illiterate foreigner, 25 years old, by hanging him in States prison. In New Haven, last September, he shot Mrs. Mamie Davis, of Altoona, Pa., a notorious woman.
 The boy never hesftated for a sec ond The hanging was "successful. !" Only 30 seconds were consumed in strapping, hooding and elevating him. Life was extinct in II minutes.
 Under the system of hanging in this State, the falling of a heavy weight attached to a rope around Tanganelli lifted his feet off the floor. His neck was broken It is the double jerk feature of Connecticut's method .up- on which the States representatives pride themselves.
 The murdered woman's husband and his sister were not present. They had requested to be allowed to "see the murderer meet his doom.''
 In the history of capital punishment in Connecticut, no condemned mann ever met death more calmly than Tan ganelli, said the prison officials. He was reconciled to his fate since the day of his sentence, last October 31. When the board of pardons and the Governor in turn denied his petitions for communication of sentence or re- prieve the boy did not quail. He even consoled his family. His fate is be- ing hidden from his old father and mother in Italy.

and blow them under good and deep, or cut and burn the stalks at an early date and thereby destroy a small amount of cotton than to defer the work until later date. When the weeviIs only food is destroyed early in the fall, they will either starve for lack of food before cold drives them into winter quarters or will go into winters quarters Hank and lean" and very few will survive for spring depre- dations
 There are three methods of destroy ing the squares, bolls and foliage on the cotton stalks, CD pasturing, CD blowing under, (3) burning.
 Pasturing cotton fields is a good method of destroying the squares, bolls, and foliage-the sole food SUD- ply of the mature weevils and the in- cubators of the immature weevils- where the cotton fields are fenced and the number of cattle turned into a field is sufficient to eat all the squares, bolls and foliage in few days How ever, let it be distinctly understood that the practice of turning few head of cattle into fifteen or twenty acre cotton and corn field accomplishes no particular good. We all know from ob- servation that two or three head of cattle per acre, even when confined to the cotton field will eat very little of the green foliage in one week And Jet us not forget that it is necessary to completely destroy the food supply of the mature weevils and the breed ing places of the immature weevils at the earliest possible moment.
 Flowing under cotton stalks is a good method of destroying the only food supply of the mature weevils and of ending the life of all the immature weevils where there are few stumps and roots, small cotton stalks, and where large blows and strong teams can be had. 1 have held the blow handles in the piney woods, in the prairie section and in rich bottom

BEING TOLERANT,

Everyday life is filled with lot very hard problems. Each individ- ual can solve them to a large extent by little inner reflection. by over coming prejudices, by permitting other people to enjoy their own kind of pleasure, their own ideas. and to work out their own salvation accord- ing to their conscience.
 The art of being tolerant is sim ply the art of minding your own business and granting other people the privilege that one asks for him. self.
 It IS the healthy, everyday, nor nal life that comes nearest to good- ness, that lassos and keeps friends. that has the greatest power of exer- clsing good influence over others. One doesn't have to keep racing along with the fastest to keep in the parade of humanity.

SCRAPB0OK NOW LITTLE USED

Scrapbook collecting is form of nursery diversion that has fewer ad- herents than 1t once had. Time was when the youngsters devoted much time and thought to gathering mate rial with which to fill the books, and who would succeed in having the best collection was a matter of heat ed competition. It seems a pity that this form of collecting should have dropped into disfavor, for if rightly directed it may be the means of de- veloping traits in the child that would otherwise lie dormant.
 In the selection of clippings for a child's scrapbook a large propor- tion of space should be allotted to verse.

is enough rainfall in this section to thoroughly saturate the soil many times and for this reason it is not at all necessary to burn the corn stalks, grass, oat and pea stubble and other vegetable matter on the tillable land. Every acre in cultivation in the weevil territory should be plowed good and deep during the fall and winter.
 Many weevtls will escape from the fields but all will not fly beyond the reach of the farmer. Many will be found along the fence rows, hedges, ditch banks, and in decayed logs and dead trees. The cleaning and burn ing of the hedges, ditch banks and fenced rows and the burning of sap on logs, stumps and dead trees in and around the fields will destroy many weevils that would live to do great damage.

WAS HIS KIND OF A SERM0|
Old Darky Enthusiastic Over What He Called "Reguiar Get-up-and-Waik-
 Of Sermon"

At the banquet of a Sunday school association the newly-elected state secretary told this story of the walk off men:'
 "An old darky attended services when a high church dignitary preached.
 "'How did you like the sermon, uncle ? was asked.
 "1 likes the sermon fine, boss. It was regular get-up and walk-otf sernon.'
 "When asked what kind that was, he replied: Tt is like this: After the good Lord he fixes up the world, he makes twelve men out O mud and stands them alongside a wall to dry. He says to them: "Now, you stand here until you are dry as dust and then I'll come back and put some brains into you and make you men,"
 Well, some of them they stands and waits to get their brains, while others they don't like to wait, and gets right up and walks off without no brains at all.s Them's what you call walk-off men! And walk-off sermon is the same way-it has some go to it. "-St. Paul Dispatch.

KILL B0LL WEENLS
Necessity of Reducing Number oi
 Insects Very Urgent.
Most Important Step In Producing Cot ton as Found by Experimenters Is Destruction of Foliage and
 Squares.

CBy G. H. AFFORD, Special Agent of the
 Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
 Work, Jackson, Miss.)
 This is lesson No. one, and it should be thoroughly learned. The need of so reducing the over-wintered weevils as to reduce the cost and labor of pick ing the weevils and punctured squares to the minimum is very urgent
 There are four methods of reducing the number of weevils to the mini mum: First, completely denude the cot ton stalks Of foliage, squares and bolls, the weevils sole food supply, blow the stalks under good and deep, or burn the stalks at the earliest pos sible moment in the fall. Second, at some time during the winter, destroy the rubbish in and about the fields quarters for weevils. Third, when the weevils appear on the little cotton in the spring pick them off and destroy them. Fourth, pick up the punctured squares and destroy them for at least one month after the first squares form on the cotton.
 The results obtained by the United States bureau of entomology, the farm CTS demonstration work, the Louisi- ana State Crop Pest commission and thousands of successful farmers point to the supreme importance of the early fall destruction of the boil weevil's sole food supply, the squares, small bolls, and foliage on the cotton stalks. The conclusion reached by thousands of experimenters justify me in making the statement that the most impor- tant step in producing cotton in boil weevil territory is the early fall de- Struct1on of the foliage, squares, and immature punctured bolls on the cot ton stalks. In fact, feel almost jus titled in saying that the early fall de struction of the cotton stalks outbal- ances all other remedies that may be employed to destroy the weevils.
 In an experiment performed by the Bureau of Entomology in Calhoun County, Tex, the stalks growing on 40 acres of land were destroyed early in October. Careful records kept dur ing the following season showed that the destruction of stalks on this land increased the yield $14.56 per acre. An experiment was conducted on op- posite sides of the Guadaloupe river near Victoria, Tex The stalks were burned on one farm the latter part of September. and on the other they were allowed to stand until in spring before planting time. Forty acres on the farm on which the stalks were de stroyed made 15 bales Forty acres on the other farm made and 1-2 bales.

USES GRAND PIANO AS BED
Patagonian Chiefs Idea of the Utility of Musical Instrument Pre-
 scented to Him.

A Labrador tribe, it Is said, made the barrels stolen from the wrecked whaler serve as chimney tops; the West Indians utilized Timothy Dex- ter's warming pans for sugar ladies, and the ShaneS find no worse use for English beer bottles than to stick them up as household gods to keep away evil spirits. But the drollest instance of converted usage occurred when that adventurous Frenchman, De Tonnant, while in Patagonia gave an old chief a wornout grand piano which he had bought for S5 francs. \ few days after making this generous present, De Tonnant went one morning to pay an early visit to the Patagonian. He found hlm sleeping peacefully with his Wife inside the piano, from which he had carefully removed the sounding board, strings, etc, and which. thus transformed, constituted a not un- comfortable bedstead. - Harper's Weekly.

lands and know whereof I speak when l say that it is very difficult to completely bury average size cotton stalks. 1 have hitched three large mules to a twelve inch steel beam turning blow with log chain attach Aent and failed to completely turn un- der average size cotton stalks on land clear of stumps. l have failed to turn under large size cotton stalks with four large mules hitched to a thirty inch disk blow. In fact, farmers who have attempted to blow under green cotton stalks early in the fall laugh at the advice sometimes given to blow under the stalks at all times and under all conditions as a means of destroy ing the food supply of the weevils. However, let us use large blows and strong teams and completely bury the stalks wherever it can be done.
 There is an insufficient number of cattle on many farms and plantations to thoroughly and completely denude the cotton stalks of every vestige of foliage, squares and bolls in short time and 1t is impossible to completely bury the cotton stalks on many farms and plantations, hence, it Is absolute ly necessary to burn the stalks as soon as the cotton is picked out When the stalks are burned the food supply of the adult weevils is de stroyed at once. The weevils in the in nd bolls are all destroyed at once, and the large majority of the adult weevils perish in the flames especially when the stalks are burned after sundown. Weevils retire for the night on the cotton stalk piles at about sundown. They seldom move about at night. If the farmers are careful not to unduly shake the stalk piles when applying the torch after sundown, practically all the weevils on the stalk piles will be burned.
 Of course, if the stalks are allowed to remain until a heavy frost has come and practically all of the mature weevils have gone into winter quar- ters, it is not advisable to burn the stalks. It is then advisable to turn the stalks under as deeply as possible.
 Surprising numbers of weevils have been found hibernating in cracks and holes in the ground and under grass, weeds and other trash. In January, 1907 In one instance, the bureau of entomology found 5,S70 weevils per acre. of which 70 per cent were alive. Most of the many examinations that have been made by the bureau of en- tomology have shown more than 1000 live wSevils per acre in the cotton fields. Thousands of weevils are found hibernating in corn fields in old sorghum and cane fields, and in hay fields
 Deep winter breaking and the turn ing under of trash, corn stalks and SO on means death to thousands of weevils- The thousand or more weevils per acre in the cracks and holes in the ground and under the grass, weeds and trash and corn stalks can practically all be killed by deep winter breaking of the land.
