Mushrooms form an unusually nutri-
tious and sustaining diet. A well
known botanlst says that they might
properly be called vegetable meat and
used as a substitute for animal food.
ut is doubtful. however, II this is
true" says the Journal OF the Ameri-
can Medical Association. THE more
we learn OF mushrooms the more 1t
becomes apparent that they are scarce
ly different as regards dietary virtues
from the general run Of the green vege-
tables which have never achieved the
distinction Of any unique or superior
nutritlve properties They belong rath-
er TO that large group Of food materials
which we consume for reasons quite
apart from the yield OF nourishment."

That Dog Dinner.

Recently some of the ladies
of New York's -Four Hundred"
gave a dinner for their poodle
dogs that cost several thousand
dollars. My heartiest sympathy
and earnest commiseration goes
out to the dogs on account of
their forced association with
such she-males. The poodle is
accounted an intelligent canine,
and it must be hard, extremely
hard, on them to be compelled to
associate with such brainless,
purposeless travesties on woman.
What must be the lot of the hus-
bands of these creatures it's hard
to imagine, though I've heard
that most of them seek refuge
in "affinities." But in regard to
the poodles. | earnestly call the
attention of President George T.
Angel to the case and insist that
it merits the Intervention of the
Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals.
- y
But beyond the foolishness of
these petted, painted parvenues
is the effect that these things
have upon the general unrest of
the countryN. The idle rich, who
live in luxury from the unpaid
toll of labor, have sins enough
to answer for without Haunting
their wealth in the face of pow,
erty. Already the toiling mil
lions are muttering their discon,

ing to solve these problems in 6

A DESERVING DEMOCRAT.

We understand There is
considerable pressure being
brought to bear upon our
friend and fellow Democrat,
Chas. D. Arnett, to enter the
race for the nomination for
Senator for the 94th district
of Kentucky. 1t were we'll
to bear in mind, while cast
ing about for a senatorial
candidate, that this district
is not very largely democrat
ic. That when the present
incumbent, Hon. E. E. Hogs
mI.... 8 The es.lk last election oN
A. H. Patton, the district
was thought to be doubtful
or republican by a small ma
jority. That in the senator
ial race preceding a Repub-
lican was elected over a Dem
ocrat. Bearing these things
in mind it behooves the party
to act wisely and conserva-
lively in the selection of a
standard bearer who is to lead
us in the fight for control of
the district at the next sena-
torial election. We would
act very foolishly if we sur
rendered the advantage
which is ours, made a mis-
take in the selection of a
party nominee at the next
primary election.
Charley Arnett was born
and reared in an adjacent
county to Morgan. He is a
Democrat and a member of
a democratic family. He
has been a resident of this
county for several years, and
since living here he has ev-
err taken and active interest
in politics and been promi-
nently identified with the in
terests of his party. He
has given unstintingly of his
time and means in the furth.
erance Of democratic primer
Piles, and his party or its
nominees have never called
him in vain. Qualified by
education and experience,
acquainted with needs of the
people Of the district, honest
and fearless in the discharge
of duty, he would, if nomin'
ateG and elected, do honor tt
his party and reflect credit
upon his people.
