MORE NEW FREEDOM

Mr.. Roosevelt says :ao .s q private
citizen of the privatest sort, and that
he has nothing to say about anything
but he has not been able to prevent
Perkins from saying a few things,
absurd though they are and ridicul-
GUS In the extreme.
George w. has not been making
many remarks since he proved to be
a stumbling block to some of the
faithrful Progressives. 1t will be re-
called that the demand for his di-
vorcement. from the Progressive
censa because so inaistent at ane time
that the Colonel found it advisable
to remark that IL Perkins was to be
read out Of the party. he, the Colonel,
would likewise go out. He has had
experience with letting George do 1t,
and he knew that George could and
would do it when 1t came to furnish
Ing the dough; and 1t was quite natur-
al and Rooseyeltian that the Colonel
should object to having George put
out In the cold. W
But George has found his voice

a delightful mental exercise for the
electorate to refect upon this new
view that Mr.. Pertains has placed up
on the needs Of business. But It

elected Blease Governor. We don't
think so; but be that 'as 1t may. the
wishy-washy way of handling the
questien-- the ''pgil, Dick; Pull Dew

strength to the liquor crowd. Give the
people a chance for, straight, manly

When Gas Was New.

There is tradition to the effect that when domestic lighting by gas was still a novelty Sir Walter Scott intro Hrcpd it into every room and staircase of the house that he was building at AbhotsfOrd and did so without prOvi sion for any unexpected failure. His entering into possession was made the occasion for a house warming on a scale of considerable magnitude. and in thr very middle of the festivities all the lights suddenly went out The guests were left in absolute darkness until such time as mounted messengers rOuld return from MeirOSe. whither they had been dispatched with inStruc ti"ns to collect all the tallOw candles and tin scOnccs or candleStickS which the village contained.

A we'll attended lecture was given in Memorial church Monday evening by Earl H. Cross, Ph. D., an old schoolmate of Rev. E. W. Darrow. The subject was Somewhere east of the Suez.'' MT. Cross, who was born in Burmah, appeared in native dress and proved to be both entertaining and instructive.
 The announcement was made in church Sunday, that the New Years reception to Rev. and Mrs. Darrow will be held in social hall, Memorial church, Thursday afternoon and even- ing. MT. and Mrs. Darrow will receive the children from until 4 o'clock, and the older people of the community from ' until 10 o'clock. All are most cordially invited.
 The following were elected officers of the Sunday school for the ensuing year at the business session last Sum- day: George O. Westerfield, superin- tendent; Wm. H. Brackett, assistant superintendent; Jas. Gallup Service, secretary; Walter E. Malo, treasurer i; Mrs. E. W. Darrow, superintendent of the junior department; Miss Maggie Brovnlee, superintendent of home department.
 All who know Col. W. H. Hall will recognize the soundness ot the position taken by the correspondent at Wilmington Center in a recent item. No one can honestly question his ability or fitness for the position ot speaker of the house of representatives at the coming session, but unless we have been misinformed, he does not desire it and will make absolutely no effort to secure it.
 The Christmas entertainment in Memorial church Christmas eve brought out the usual number and filled the hall of the church. So many were engaged in presenting the oantata that it is next to impossi- ble to give space to the list. The occasion has come to be one that could hardly be omitted and have it seem like Christmas in the village. En- joyed by old and young, never dis appointing. The Christmas tree, the green and red decorations, the music, good cheer, bright faces of children filled with anticipation of good things and the gifts to crown it all, make a very pleasant milestone to mark the passing of another year.

POTATOES AS FOOD.
At First Only the Seed of the TuberS
 Was Thought Fit to Eat.

Was Thought Fit to Eat.
 When potatoes were first used for food it was the seed" or apple" thar was used. and it Was some time before the tuber was found to be the mosr delicious food Up to the end of the seventeenth century the potato was out of the reach of people of moderate incomes. It is recorded that in 1862 potatoes were sold at 1 shilling (2a centsI a pound in the London markets. but the sale was small because so many people believed that the potato caused leprosy and fever. Others de clared that they were endangering their souls if they ate the potato, since the tuber was not mentioned in the Bible.
 The late Duke of Argyll in his his tory of Scotland says that little or nothing was known of the potato in Scotland until long past the middle of the eighteenth century. The Duchess of Buccleuch, in her "HousehOld Book" for the year 17O1. speaks of the potato as ''an esculent of great rarity"
 Hugh Miller. in his Schools and Scho0masters." says that lis mater nal grandfather about the year THO used t0 brin" home in his pocket Sunlr three OF four potatoes as great rarities grown by the gentry. for he was q friend of the head gardener at RaIna- gown castle. Thomas Carlyle tells us that his father got possession of four potatoes and knew so little about them that he h;d them away for possible time of want and that potatoes were saved to be eaten at Halloween. There is no doubt that the Irish were the first people to recognize the value of tue potato as staple article of fOoH- Youths Companion.

Pnisonera of Rome.

Tofana, the Italian woman pOisOner of the seventeenth century, was carry ing on a tradition of ancient Rome. In 331 B. c. a supposed pestilence swept the city, and many leading men were carried off. Then a slave girl gave in formation, and the authorities snr- prised twenty Roman matrons prepar- ing drugs over a fire. Since they in- sisted that the drugs were not poison ous they were compelled tS drink them in the Forum, and all perished. Further information having been laid, ITO matrons were condemned. In 1S4 B. c. four months inquiry by the praetor resulted in the condemnation of 2,OO0 persons for poisoning. There were many similar scandals. but it will always remain doubtful whether in any particular one of these ancient cases the epidemic was not really nat ural.-London Spectator.

The Potato Habit.

Potato eating has become d habit n0t because potatoes contain enough nnuI iShment to carry on life, but be- rause they are cheap. easy to prepare and bulky enough 10 fill up the stOm- nch. The potato consists almost en- tirely of starch. and though this has l place ill the diet it iS not capable of building up strength and muscle. Con- stant reference is made to the hardi- hood of cOlOniSts and early settlers. They were not raised on q potato diet, for the potato was luxury as late as 1SOO to be served with sugar, nutmeg and mace. It is a product of more re cent years, part and parcel of the struggle to keep down the living ex- pense at the cost of the body.
 This does not mean that potatoes should be eliminated from the dietary. for like every other food they have a definite mission to fulfill, but they must be used with discretion and in proper combination. Excessive use brings an inevitable trail of aLaemia, obesity and autOintOXicatiOn.-C Gentleman.

They could not be seen and were only known by their work. and the greatest bene- factors to the human race were thoS" who promoted their activities.
