Don't Vivisect the Trees.

Editor Tidings: There is now a
cry going up against the practice of
vivisection by surgeons, alleging that
the pain inflicted on the dumb brutes
in the efforts to gain knowledge more
tha noffsets the advantages gained
in the experiments.
There is another form of vivisec-
ton (which means chopping a live
thing to pieces) going on among cur
shade trees in the streets and parks.
Sometimes it seems as if the choppers
were pretty mad about something
and took it out on the trees, which
certainly look as if they got the worst
of it, their limbs standing gaunt and
jagged, as if in protest. There is no
argument that can restrain tree
butcher" but one might affect those
who trim the shade trees in the
parks, taking off the limbs as a peach
tree is pruned, to keep it near the
ground
| think that a shade tree should
have the lower limbs cut off at the
trunk, thus building up the tree to a
good height that people may so be-
meath them and the tree cast a shade.
The reducing of the tops will never
give us a tall, shapely tree, with a
goodly shade pleasant to sit in, but
merely shady spot about as large
as postage stamp. If a bushy tree
is desired, plant lilac or SNOWFALL;
| do not try to keep an elm, oak or
maple down to the size of these
bushes.
Let the trees grow tall, is my plea.

.APPANOOSE COUNTY
OFFICIALS ALL DEMOS

Centerville, Dec. 21.--After the first
of the year for the first time in this
generation at least, the entire admin
istration of justice in Centerville will
be in the hands of the democratic
party. Among the few officials elected
by them were both the sheriff and
county attorney and the two con-
stables of Center township, in which
Centerville is located. All are new
officials. John w. Brown, the new
sheriff, was deputy sheriff the past
four years. w. B. Hays will be coun
ty attorney, and w. Fl. Lane and E. 8.
Denoon justices. The republicans still
hold the mayors office. There will be
an election this spring. Two years ago
the republicans for the first time in
years elected every man on the city
ticket over a fusion democratic and
progressive ticket. 4

Henry Ford on Cigarettes

One feature of the booklet is full page picture
OF Thomas A. Edison, and the opposite page fac
smile letter to Friend Ford setting forth in simple
direct terms the scientific reasons why cigarettes
most injurious, and closing with the significant
sentence, II employ person who smokes cigarettes.
Hudson Maxim, the gun inventor, adds his belief
that the cigarette habit is "a maker Of invalids,
criminals and FOOLS" And Dr. Harvey w. Wiley says
THE use Of cigarettes is making inroads on the
strength Of the of all who smoke them, espe-
cialy boys of tender years who smoke them
1 because they think the practice is smart"
Mr.; Ford's own conclusion is that IF you vii! vii
study the history Of almost any criminal you Will
find that he is an inveterate cigarette smoker"
Selby A. Moran well-known teacher of short
hand Of Ann Arbor Mich, makes this statement: ).
During my experience, covering nearly third
Of century, have yet to discover among the thou
sands of young men whom have had in my classes
single instance where young man who became
slave to the cigarette habit during his early years has
ever been able to develop into more than third or
fourth rate stenographer Such people seem to have
their nervous system 50 paralyzed and their mental
faculties so dlled stunted and the control Of their
physical organism weakened that it seems utterly
impossible for them to become first class stenograph-
ers although in many cases have known such young
men to struggle heroicaly to fit themselves to do
high grade stenographic work
