Mcclure selected him for deputy
collector. He was Mr.. McClure's
right hand man for two terms
and when Mr.. Scott was elected
to the Office he took a place in the
Crawford orey Abstract office,
serving acceptably until his
friends insisted that he become
a candidate for collector. He
was still a very young man then,
almost zoo young, he thought,
to make the race, but the demand
was so strong that he consented
was elected and for eight years
made a record unsurpassed in
the history of the county.
That's his career. Open to all
the world, and it is upon this
that he depends for the support
in his ambitions to go higher in
the public service.
SedaHa is for him. Pettis
county is for him, and all Cen
trail Missouri also. And when
the other sections of the state
realize what he is, his splendid
equipment for the place, his
sense Of the obligations resting
upon public officials, his fairness,
his honesty, his faithfulness to
duty, and his strong and win
ming personality, there will come
to him such support as will
make his nomination and cleo
ton certain.
Pettis county presents him to
Missouri, confident that he will
be a credit to the democratic
party and all the people of the
great commonwealth.

EARLY MATCHING BEST

There is practically everything
to be gained and nothing to be
lost by setting hens as soon as
possible now. The chicks will
thrive much better during the
cooler weather and the hen
should be spared from setting
during the warmer weather. The
first young chickens marketed
always bring the best prices and
the early Matched pullets will
mature early enough to lay next
fall which is not true of the
later ones. Winter eggs depend
partly on early Matching.
Select a healthy hen and try
her for a day or two on the nest
before risking valuable eggs I'M
der her. An odd number of
eggs, usually eleven, thirteen or
fifteen should be used, particul-
arly in cool weather as they lie
in a more nearly perfect circle.
AS soon as the hen becomes
broody make a nest for her in a
separate Matching room or place
where the other hens will not
have a chance to disturb her.
The nest should be sixteen or
eighteen inches square and at
least eight inches deep depend
ing somewhat upon the size of
the hen, but it must be roomy.
In nature it would be placed on
the ground and if this is not pos
sible in the poultry house a large
sod should be placed in the bot
tom of the nest and then cover
ed with straw to help keep the
eggs from drying out too rapid
ly.
Either allow the hen to leave
the nest for food and water
whenever she wishes or remove
her once a day for that purpose.
Lice should be controlled by
busting the hen with insect pow
der at the beginning and again
ten days later. It is a good plan
to rub a bit Of blue ointment
about the size of a pea into the
skin beneath the vent and to rub
a little more into the feathers on
the under side of the wing at
Matching time. This is partly
rubbed off on the chicks and helps
keep the lice away.
Remove the chicks as rapidly
as Matched and later return
them all together to the hen fol-
brooding, but be careful that
they are not chilled while away
from the mother.

Help The BeIgians.

The National Society of the
Daughters of the American
Revolution is aiding in the work
for the Committee for Relief in
Belgium by raising a sum in
honor Of the Kings birthday,
April 8th, which is designated
FLAG DAY. On that day, Sat
urday, members of the various
chapters all over the country
will offer tiny replicas of the
Belgian flag in exchange for
whatsoever sum each person
feels inclined to give, ten cents
being the amount that will feed
a destitute Belgian for one day.
The local chapter of the D. A.
r. has enlisted the voluntary
service of a number of ladies' and
girls to offer these flags to the
lexington public, and they look
forward to a ready response on
Saturday afternoon. The needs
of these people are vital, shut
in as they are by barbed wire
and armed cordona Of an hostile
army, with no money, no food,
no work, no clothing, utterly de-
pendent on what is brought
them from the outside.
Mr.. F. C. WOlcott sent by the
Rockefeller Foundation to report
on the work of the commission
says: There would be whole
sale starvation, within three Or
four weeks, if the Importation
of food into Belgium stopped.
Of the 100000 inhabitants in
Belgium, 5000, 900 are virtually
destitute and drawing daily the
equivalent Of three thick slices
of bread and a pint of milk, and
their clothing is often pitifully
insufficient. What would be the
condition of the average per-
sons wardrobe after eighteen
months of war and sharing with
ones neighbor? The work of the
commission is wonderfully eff
cient and whatever is given for
relief work in Belgium should be
given to the Commission with
out any restrictions" Let us
give gladly, not calling it charity
but in obedience of the Golden
Rule.

WHY ALCOHOL MAKES
MEN SEEM BRAVE
Preventative Medicine Expert
Says Drunken Courage is Due
to PARALYSIS.

to Paralysis.
Much that has been written in
the past concerning the use of
alcohol has been colored by senti-
ment and moral considerations
rather than facts concerning
health, but careful studies car
ried out by scientific methods
have at last taught us the truth
concerning the use of alcohol.
First, it is an irritant to the
lining membrane of the stomach.
Second, it retards digestion and,
IN large quantities, arrests it by
a depression of the nervous and
circulatory system. Death is
not infrequently caused from
large quantities taken on an
empty stomach. 1t invariably
has a paralyzing effect on the
nervous system. All those eff
fects which we usually consid-
cred as stimulating are due to
partial paralysis in one way or
another. For many years al
cohol has been absolutely for
hidden to those exposed to ex-
IRENE cold, like Arctic explorers
It's apparently stimulating ef-
feet on the physical functions is
due to loss of control. Judgment
and sense Of proportion are lost
and the emotional nature comes
into play. The courage displayed
by a drunk man is due again to
paralysis of judgment causing
him to lose the sense of danger.
The energy displayed is due tc
the partial paralysis which dead
ems the sense of fatigue given to
us normally as a safeguard
against over-exertion. The GEES
ticulations are due to the loss OF
control over the brain %centers, a
foolish waste Of energy coupled
with lack of self-restraint.
1t is a common habit to take
alcohol to alleviate the blues
or mental depression. 1t does
this again by paralysis of the
higher ~centers, and the reaction
comes with double force.
The question as to whether OF
not it is a food has been much
debated. A small amount of il
can be burned up and used as
fuel, but at the best it is a very
expensive sort of food and a
very dangerous one, according tc
DR.. M. P. Ravenel of the depart
ment of preventative medicine
of the University of Missouri at
Columbia. Alcohol as a food is
a joke, he says.
A collective investigation by
43 life insurance companies, ex-
tending over 25 years, and en-
bracing 2,OOO,O 900 lives, showed
that saloon keepers have a death
rate of 20 per cent in excess of
normal. Even moderate" drink
ers accepted by the companies
as good risks" showed a death
rate SO per cent in excess of the
normal expectancy.
Some people will use alcohol in
spite of the facts against it. If
used at all, it should be taken
only on the advice of a competent
physician, and unfortunately too
many physicians have not stud
led the question thoroughly and
are too free in giving this adj
vice. 1t should always be taken
well diluted and never on an en-
PITY stomach. The safest thing
is to leave it alone. This is es-
pecially true for young people.

What Home People Think of
John L. Sullivan.

The following appeared as the
leading editorial in the Sedalia
Democrat of December 9, 1915.
For the first time in many
years Pettis county has a can
didate for a state office in the
person Of John L. Sullivan, who
recently announced as an aspirant
for secretary Of state.
1t is a general custom for
party members and the party
press in every county to rally to
the support of its own candi-
date, and oftentimes this is done
only as a matter of local pride
and it frequently has happened
that many a candidates home
supporters have been hard put to
give good reasons for endeavor-
ing to win a victory for him.
1t is a matter Of genuine graft
fcation therefore that Pettis
county is not called upon in sup
porting John l.. Sullivan to seek
for good reasons for that sup
port. These good reasons are so
abundant and are known so gem
orally hat it is almost a work
of supererogation to call atten-
ton to them in this community
where he lives. But for the bene-
fit of those throughout the state
who have not been privileged to
know Mr.. Sullivan and who
therefore lack knowledge Of his
attributes and the high qualif-
cations he possesses for the office
he seeks, it can not be amiss for
his home paper to call attention
to them.
Mr.. Sullivan is an anomaly in
politics, in that while as deputy
county tax collector and as
county tax collector he fulfilled
the duties Of the positions with
the strictest fidelity to MS trust
and knew neither friend nor foe
in discharging his official obliga-
tons, he was always the most
popular candidate on the ticket,
and the last time receiving more
votes than were ever cast for
any man running for office in
Pettis county.
The advent Of Jonn l.. Sullivan
into the collectors office mar
ked a revolution in the methods
Of conducting its affairs, and,
thanks to the admirable system
that he inaugurated and the con-
scientious manner of administra-
ton instituted, Pettis county
during his terms and since has
received to the last cent collect
able the assessed taxes.
In fact, the Pettis county col
lector's Office, under Mr.. Sullivan
became the model for the entire
state, and still continues to be
under the present Incumbent
who was Mr.. Sullivan's deputy.
People said at the time that bust
ness methods in the collectors
office would not do, that favors
must be shown and special
friends permitted to escape pay
ment of personal taxes if the in
cumbent wished to secure re-
election, but Mr., Sullivan be-
lieved he was elected to collect
taxes-and he collected them.
As a result there are hundreds
of men paying personal taxes in
Sedalia who never before knew
what it was to contribute their
rightful share to the cost of the
government. And, strange to
say, these men, recognizing the
honesty of purpose and strict
impartiality of the collector, be-
came his fast friends and joined
in re-electing him when he
sought a second term.
They are still his friends and
not a one of them but would be
