Opens Campaign For Congress
By Speech at MOrgan6eld
March 2.
HE INVITES HIS OPPONENT.
Other Appointments Made And
Division Of Time
Offered.

Henderson, KY, Feb. 2i.-As will
appear from the letter addressed to
Hon. D. H. Kincheloe, published be-
low, Judge J. w. Henson, of this
city, assumes the aggressive in the
congressional race and will formally
open his campaign for the Demo-
cratic nomination by a public speech
to be delivered at Morganfeld, Mon
day, March 2, to be followed by other
speaking appointments in different
parts of the district.
Judge Henson extends to his oppo-
nent an invitation to be present at
all these appointments and offers him
a fair division of time.
1t appears that the congressional
race Is now made up between Judge
Henson and Mr.. Kincheloe. There is
yet some talk to the effect that Hon
John c. Duffy, of Christian county,
has the matter under consideration,
however.

Henderson, KY, Feb. 10, 1914.
Hon. D H. Kincheloe,
jacksonville, Kentucky.

fly you. AS you will probably not be

Plant Pecan Trees.

The pecan has been known since the
discovery of the Western continent
and is found in no other country save
the United States and Mexico. The ma
tive Seeding nut with which most peo-
pie are familiar bears about the same
relation to the improved thin-shell va
rieties as the native crab apple does
to the popular modern varieties which
supply all the markets Of the country.
The development Of the pecan, how
ever, has just begun Because some
one said the pecan could not be inn
proved or propagated by budding and
grating, il remained, to this late day
for the discovery to be made Of the en-
tire practicability Of budding and.
rafting the pecan, thus permitting the
growing Of varieties true to name.
Every one who owns spot Of open
ground large enough to support pc
can tree should plant II at once. A
source OF wealth lies in the possession
OF pecan grove and it can be had by
the landowner at cost of compare
lively little labor An avenue Of state
ly oaks is beautiful sight, but how
much more practical--and equally as
beautiful--is an avenue Of pecan trees,
and yet so few Of these are, II indeed
there exists one avenue of pecan trees
Of any length in the world. What an
opportunity something at once beau
tful, lucrative and unique--Greenwood

Opposes Military Increase.
Representative Thomas U. Sisson
went on record again last week as be-
ing opposed to any important increase
in the army or navy of the United
States. In a speech before the House
of Representatives he spoke against
the plans Of Representative Gardner,
Of Massachusetts, who is urging great
ly increased expenditures for military
purposes.
! In pointing out the safety which this
county may feel, so far as the aggres-
sion of hostile power is concerned,
Mr.. Sisson aroused Representative
Kahn of California, who recalled Mr..
Sisson's stand in regard to the Jap
anese question in California. At that
time Mr.. Kahn said, Mr.. Sisson insist
ed that if Japan undertook to foist her
propositions upon the people of Cali
fornia, he, for one, was ready to go to
war. Mr.. Kahn made the point that
as quick as our sensibilities or rights
are questioned, we are very ready to
take exception and threaten war. What
is more, we clamor for war, he said
despite the fact that we are not in
condition to enter a conflict with we'll
trained and seasoned soldiers. Mr.. Sis
SON replied that we have the assur-
ance of Admiral Fletcher that oui
navy can meet that of any other coun-
try in the world except that of Eng.
land He said our present military sys-
tenn suits our needs and keeps us out Of
trouble. Back of the patriotism" adj
vocating preparedness for war, are the
manufacturers of absorbent cotton
stretchers, powder, steel plates, kettle
drums, and cannon, he declared.

1. Typhoid fever is caused by a
living germ which is carried from
one person to another by carelessness,
either on food, milk, water or direct
contact.
2. Typhoid fever means that the
person who has IL got the germs, di-
rectly or indirectly from human ex-
cUta, (feces) or urine, into his mouth
on food, water or milk, most often
carried by flies.
3. Every family should have fly
proof privy, with a metal container to
prevent the waste from running in
cutters or on the ground. The Board
of Health furnishes plans for privy
free, which can be built at very little
expense.
4. The waste matter from case of
typhoid should be burned, the bed pan
carefully treated with antiseptics, as
the family physician directs.
s. All wells should be cleaned out,
che dirt, better mortar, banked high
on outside of curb to keep seep water
out. See to it that the well at all
times is kept covered, and never al
low person who is nursing case OF
typhoid to handle a we'll rope, dipper
or bucket.
G. Everybody in the immediate vi
cinity should drink boiled or distilled,
or deep we'll water only, and IL in
doubt about your water, send a sam
pie to the State Board Of Health for
examination.
Z. Do not eat or drink where there
is typhoid The patient should be
carefully screened against flies for
the protection Of others.
3. We occasionally have typhoid
carriers patients who for years car
ry the germs which by careless hand
ling of food may transmit the disease
70 others.
0. No doubt flies are more danger
Gus disease-earrying animals, there
fore screen, screen everything. Those
who screen their homes do not have
much sickness.
10. The use of typhoid vaccine is
practically a sure preventative and
should be used on every school child in
the State. The cost is very small.
When in need Of help, information
or advice, write us; we want to help
you, and ask four hearty cooperation,
IN this campaign against preventable
disease.
The diseases are on the decrease in
the larger cities, and soon will be in
Che small towns and rural districts,
with the building of fly-proof closets,
and more careful application of the
rules of the State Board of Health.

How to Cure Meat.

| The real secret of success in put
ting up hog meat lies in proper cur
ing, and it is in this detail that farm
ers have learned most of recent years,
says Home and Farm. A quick and
thoroughly sailing of the whole joints
before any of the meat has time to
spoil is absolutely necessary, and fail
ure to do this curing properly has
ruined many thousand pounds of good
meat.
Before curing, however, it is neces-
sary to have the animal properly
cooled.
Cooling,
The proper temperature for cooling
is between 25 and 40 degrees Fahren-
heit. This is slightly above freezing.
1t is most important to cool the car
cass as soon as possible after killing,
but care must be taken not to allow it
to freeze. If the weather is not too
cold, it is best to kill late in the even
ing and allow the carcass to hang all
night in the open air. Then it can be
removed to the cellar or meat house
after sunrise, Do not allow to hang
where it can absorb the odor of kero-
sene, tar, fresh paint, rancid butter
or any disagreeable odor. Fresh killed.
meat absorbs odors quickly, and you
can never get rid Of the faint. A dry
cellar is the best place for cooling.
If you wish to hasten the process you
can split the carcass into pieces and
strip out the leaf lard.
Curing Most Important.
Ordinarily, "a to Sc hours is the time
allowed to cool. Meat should be cured
as soon as all signs of animal heat are
gone (your thermometer is useful
here), and before freezing or decay
gets in. Frozen meat cannot be prop
erly cured, as the salt or brine will
not penetrate frozen flesh, while cur
ing before the carcass is cold will in
variably give 3 bad 'odor to the meat.
Now comes the critical point. Once
the meat is cooled it is absolutely inn

SEN. WILLIAMS COMES
TO AID OF BELGIANS

Those Seeking Homes IN the
United States.
An amendment 90 the immigration
bill TO except from the proposed lite
racy test for the next five years Bel
gians seeking home in the United
States was introduced by Senator Will
liams.
Senator Stone had spoken for max
ing an exception in favor Of those
prosecuted for race as we'll as for
religion. Senator Smith, Of South Car
olina, opposed that on the ground that
one who drew religious persecution
showed possession Of high moral
fibre, while the same could not be said
Of one prosecuted for race. Senator
Williams declared Senator Stones
proposal would admit a flood Of ig-
noranco.
"There is only one exception ] would
make in excluding illiterates,' con-
tinued Senator Williams. 81 have in
mind permitting the Belgian people to
come TO this country. ! would provide
that those should be excepted from
this test whose country has been sub
jccted to conquest because IL would

portant to get it properly sailed as
soon as possible. This means not only
sailed on the outside, but also on the
inside, next to the bone. Decay in
pork joint invariably starts close to
he bone, and the past part to be reach
ed when the salt is applied by the
old-fashioned hand method or brine
method. This is due to t ctfehat
method. This is due to the fact that
salt penetrates the muscle fiber very
slowly, and, while the inner layers,
where decay always starts, may yet be
unaffected by the salt which has been
rubbed in by hand or washed as brine
on the outer layers Of flesh.
This danger may be easily over
come by the use of meat salter,
which enables one to apply the brine
solution in next to the bone before
the other curing is begun. The ordin-
airy meat salter is very high grade
hollow steel instrument which is thrust
in next to the bone, the brine being
forced through the point of the needle
into the deep layers of flesh by means
of a plug operated by pressure of the
thumb.
Brine Cure and Dry Cure.
Salt, sugar or molasses are the only
agents necessary to cure the finest
meat, and salt is the best of these.
Formalin, boracic acid and other
chemicals are sometimes used as pre-
servatives, but their use requires skill,
and they should be avoided. They
are quite unnecessary, as the work
can be done without them. In warm
weather ordinary baking soda may be
added to the brine to keep it from
spelling.
Any barrel which will hold water
will do for the vessel in which to cure.
Be sure that it is clean. Never use an
oil barrel or similar receptacle unless
it has first been thoroughly burned
out. A large stone jar is probably
most satisfactory. Do not use barrel
which has formerly held spoiled meat.
Dry curing is most commonly used
among farmers. 1t should be done in a
cellar or dark room so as to avoid
flies and insects. Then one or two
injections are made in each joint with
the meat salter, using solution of
one pint of table salt and one table
spoon of saltpetre dissolved in
quart of boiled water. This injection
Of brine will at once cure the lower
layers Of the meat. Then for every
100 pounds of meat weigh out five
pounds of salt two pounds graduated
sugar and two pounds saltpetre, thor
oughly mixed Rub the meat thor
oughly three times once every three
days. After the last rub let the meat
lie in a barrel for 10 days.
For brine cure rub each joint with
common salt, packed in a barrel ard
allow to stand over night. Then for
every 100 pounds of meat dissolve 10
pounds of salt, two ounces saltpetre,
in four gallons Of boiling water. Al
low this brine to cool and then pour
over meat, weighing down meat SO
that it will be entirely submerged un-
der the brine. Keep meat in brine
until ready to use.
To sugar cure, first use the meat
salter and rub by hand. Pack in bar
,rels and allow to stand over night.
Then cover with brine made as fol-
lows: For every 100 pounds of meat,
eight pounds of salt, two pounds of
brown sugar, two pounds of saltpetre,
dissolved in four gallons Of boiling
water.

Root Crons.

All Europe will plant heavily in root
crops during the coming season, tur-
nips, carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, etc,
with view to early and abundant food
supplies, and our farmers will do well
to pattern after those frugal people. 1t
is folly to place entire dependence for
maintenance upon expensive grain
crops, when abundant food for man
and beast can be obtained in our sec
ton by succession of root crops re-
inforced by spring, summer and fall
gardens. Our discarded fence corners
would almost feed Europe,
In every other transaction of life
except cotton planting as regards the
tenant system, they count in the cost
of living. On the plantation the method
seems to rule of counting nothing but
the surplus after paying expenses.
The tenant and his family have had a
living for year which constitutes in
large measure the cost of making the
crop and yet he considers the years
venture blank failure if it fails to
deposit cash surplus in his pocket,
His brother in town who works twice
as many days pays for fuel and house
rent and is compelled to pay more
for clothing yet considers himself
lucky if he makes living though
often deprived of the butter, milk,
eggs, poultry, etc, that the farm ten
ant can have in abundance if he tries
to.-Aberdeen Examiner
