would only take little more trouble
in preparing his fruit for market.
Some associations Of fruit and veg
etable growers have adopted this plan,
and made certain brands famous.
The fruit sold under these various
brands is carefully selected and
packed under the supervision of the
manager employed by the growers,
and packages are guaranteed to be up
to standard in every way.
AS most OF the apples grown in this
country are sent to market in barrels,
it may be well to set down here some
rules adopted by the best associa-
tions of fruit growers for the barrel
ing of the fruit.
In the first place the apples are
taken from the trees and placed in
baskets or bags slung around the
shoulders of the pickers, and some
very careful growers insist that the
pickers wear gloves, In order that
their fingernails may not out the fruit.
1t is a well-known fact now that q
tiny abrasion made by the fingernail
will often admit harmful bacteria
which will, in short time, destroy
the apple.
The apples are then brought to the
packing tables, which are covered with
canvas or burlap under which is a
padding of moss or straw in order to
prevent bruising. The greatest care is
taken to prevent the apples from fall
ing from the table, or against one
another in q way to cause the slight
est bruise. The fruit is rapidly sorted
into their proper grade and the pack
age-whatever the form of packing
may be--labeled with the growers
name. A barrel properly packed can
be shipped long distances without in
jury to the fruit.
All good apple growers now under
stand that apples keep better II they
are allowed to ripen upon the trees
and 1t is seldom that green fruit Is
picked. or course always there Is
just the right day when the apples
should be taken from the tree, and
this can BIO learned only by close OBJ
servation and experience.

CZARINA CURED BY THE WAR

1t is no secret that the mind of
the czarina of Russia has been seri-
ously affected for many years past
She was subject to a marked form of
melancholia, with other mental peculi-
arities. Physicians who had examined
her feared that she was drifting into
hopeless insanity.
And now, miracle of miracles!
Her mental sickness has been COM
pletely cured by the war. That which
has brought such unspeakable woe
and misery to millions of people has
brought relief to the once unhappy
czarina.
It is the serious hard work she
has been doing as a war nurse that
has benefited the czarina's mind.
Coming into close contact with pain
and grim reality, with human patience
and human weakness has lifted her out
of her life of morbid self-concentra-
tion and exaggerated terrors, and
made her normal human being.

CBy DIR. r. II. JENKINS, Director, Con-

Certain sod orchards under special
conditions, such as heavy manure
mulching, together with some pastur-
ing to keep the grass down, give good
results-perhaps as good as clean cul-

HUNDREDS RUSH
M TO GET TANLAC
Cooper Besieged With Callers
Who Want Famous
Medicine.

Louisville. April 26.-Hundreds
are now calling almost daily to
meet L. T. Cooper, the noted visitor,
and to find out just how his famous
medicine, Tanlac. is sold. how it is
prepared and what the preparation
actually looks like.
In commenting upon the rush to
meet Mr.. Cooper and obtain his eel
ebrated medicine, the manager of
the Taylor-Isaacs store said:
"The success of the opening of
the Introductory sale of Tanlac ex-
ceeded our expectation. We have
been agreeably surprised by the
knowledge the public seems to have
of the preparation. While many
came just to meet Mr.. Cooper and
see what the medicine really looked
like. equally as many came prepared
to obtain the preparation. These
people simply asked for Tanlac, and
the facility with which the medi-
cine was distributed throughout the
day proved somewhat of revela-
ton to many of our older men,"
Mr.. Cooper said: 81 am, indeed
gratified to see such marked enthu-
siasm, and feel justified in predict
ing that Tanlac will prove just as
successful in Louisville as it has in
the larger cities. do not believe
that / am overestimating the success
of the medicine when l state that
am confident that from three to five
thousand people will call and obtain
Tanlac during this week."
Mr.. Cooper was asked about the
charitable work he intended to per.
form in Louisville. He replied

Mrs. ANA BECKER, Collinsville, III.
There are hundreds of nervous, run

who are hardly able to drag around and
who we are sure would be wonderfully

The reason Vinol is so successful in
building up health and strength in such
cases is because it combines the medici-
nal tissue building and curative elements
of Gods livers together with the blood
making, strengthening properties Of

PROHIBITION is FAVORED
by BRYAN IN POLITICS

Washington, April 23.-Secretary
Bryan made public here a letter he
had written to L. w. Remington,
Democratic National Committeeman
from Iowa, expressing the hope that
the Democrats of Iowa would take
a stand for prohibition and vote
against officials who could be con-
trolled by the liquor interests.
In a statement given out with the
letter, Mr.. Bryan said he hoped to
see the Democratic party take the
prohibition side wherever the ques-
ton was raised, and If the liquor
interests insisted upon making an.
issue in the selection of a national
committeeman, the people opposed
to the liquor traffic could not afford
to ignore 1t.

the liquor question will be an issue

ded. cat the present time it does
not seem probable that it will find
place in the platform of either the
Democratic or the Republican party,
but there is no reason why the ma
tional committeeman should not
represent the sentiment of the party
on this subject as on other sub
jects."
Mr.. Remington had written Mr.
Bryan that his name was being used
in behalf of candidate for the Ma
tional Committee.
