TULARE YOUNG MAN
STRANGELY DISAPPEARS

Tulare, S. D.-Residents of the re-
gion near Tulare are greatly excited
over the mysterious disappearance of
Ollie Walker. He was last seen last
Sunday night soon after emerging
from a church, where he had attend
ed services, and apparently was on
his way home. But he never reached
there and the alarm was given. Since
that time scores of men have search
ed the fields and tree claims for miles
around, in the belief that he was the
victim of foul play. There are a num-
her of desperate characters passing
through the country every day, and
in some quarters it is feared that
some of these may have waylaid and
killed him for purposes of robbery,
and then secreted the body to cover
up the crime.

did not call out many voters here to
sign the registration rolls yesterday,
only seventeen taking advantage OF
the occasion. These brought the
total registration of the city up to
321 which is yet below half the nor
NAL vote cast here. Unless there
is an awakening of the voters, the
primary vote next March will be far
below normal, with many possibil-
tiles on account of this condition.
Many voters in this city announce
that they have not registered, and
probably will not do so, but will
keep themselves free to vote "just
as they please" in November without
any party ties to hold them to any
particular line on candidates.

The onion.-The wholesomeness OF
the onion is without question. 1t Is
usually strong enough to assert itself,
but It also has the Endorsement Of the
family doctor, who says that many
people imagine that to express a liking
for onions denotes a vulgar taste, but
this much-despised vegetable has
many excellent qualities. 1t contains a
large quantity Of nitrogenous matter
and uncrystallizable sugar with a pun
gent sulphuric oil. II children were
encouraged to eat onions, many an Ill
ness might be prevented, and many.
doctors bill saved. II baby has cold,
or seems croupy, frequent doses OF
onion syrup will give wonderful relief.
The syrup is obtained by cutting he
onion into slices, and covering each
with brown sugar, and putting one on
the top Of another in a basin.
In a sickroom you cannot have
better disinfectant than the onion.
When taken inwardly 1t has a wonder
full capacity for absorbing poisons In
the body.

Onion in Class by ltseh-If we were
to destroy the onion there would be a
gap in the universe that could never
be filled.
Kill the onion" says DR.. E. T. Will
son. an English physician, and you
have destroyed an article Of food that
can never be replaced"
Kill anything else and there is a
substitute. The potato is akin to the
cereal; cabbage and turnip and caull-
flower are of the same family; beans
are elongated peas; the lemon is a
pessimistic orange; watermelon the
survivor of the cucumber, and so on.
But the onion is alone, unique, tri-
umphant. 1t is a special creation to
tempt the palate of a weary world
Man in his wisdom might have guess
ed everything else under the sun, but
he never would have guessed an onion
Science may deduce a new star be-
fore 1t becomes visible, or something
more marvellous than radium, but the
onion would have gone uninvented
forever had not its own insinuating
yet not bashful quality forced itself
into tear-brimmed eyes and upon anti
cipatory lip.-Chicago Tribune.
