JASPER

Jasper, February 4-(Spccjal) Mason Douglass, candidate for Congress from the Tenth district, made speech at the courthouse here last night. There was a fair crowd out to hear him. He discussed the national issues at length. and then took up the statement made by Dr. w. B. Bankhead in The Age-Herald under date of December 26. He claimed that Will Bankhead was very undemocratic in that he asked for the office while his father was United States senator from the same state, and living in the same county lie spoke very complimentary of the work of Senator Bankhead. but insisted that on man from family was sufficient in Con gress at the time.
 MT. Douglass advocated the closing r the gates to the United States to foreign CTS. and advocated very strong law to Americanize the foreign element alreasy in the United States He said that il should be made compulsory upon every nhabitant to learn and speak the Eng fish language. and if after reasonable time such parties did not conform to this law they should be deported

meeting and dining together of HitchcoJk and Bryan, gossip which had it that the two Nebraskans. leaders Of opposgng factions "back home" for many. long years. had buried the hatchet so deep that the "President-msker' was all but ready to nominate the senator for the of fee of chief executive of the United States. The effect of such gossip was the representation of Bryan forcing other democratic senators to make Hitchcock democratic leader of the Senate; and the representation of Hitchcock as agree ing with Bryan that the treaty should be ratified on any terms the repuoncans might propose.
 Since there is little question but that the story of a new friendship is to be foi- lowed by glaring headlines announcing the renewal of the old fued, it IS quite possible to believe that Bryan will throw few stones at Hitchcock when he again asks democratic senators to make him leader; and that Hitchcock holds that Bryan, in desiring democratic surrender respeC ting the treaty. is in his old "too proud to hgbt'' raiment, which has never found pleasure in the vision of the ay- craze American.
 But the most important thought result
 ing from the newly resurrected antagon-
 ism Is that should Hitchcock bring apout the defeat Of Bryan in his race for dele gate. tIs democratic convention would be a riuch mere peaceful assemblage than otherwise it would be. There is no ques- ton but that several of the democratic pres 'Gertial spirants would quietly clap their hands were Bryan to fail to w.n a commission. Tor it has been demon strated that the man strong enough to prevent others eating the hay which is denied to him is quite harmless. though picturesoue, individual as he quietly sits chewing the end of pencil in the press gallery.
 It is quite possible for Hitchcock to de- feat Bryan In 1912 Bryan was a delegate to the Baltimore convention. His state had formally and positively instructed him to vote for Champ Clark. This Bryan did as long as he desired to do so. Then, dreaming his strength greater than it's source, he broke ranks and faith with ris state and brought about the nomi- nation of Woodrow Wilson. Four years later he again asked Nebraska to send him to a convention But Nebraska had prohted from it's lesson and denied the peerles sone to speak for it in the demo- cratic omnium-gatherum. And. too, Ne braska badly defeated the brother of the orator when he aspired to the office of governor
 So it is not impossible for Hitchcock to achieve a triumph in his present ven ture. At any rate he has caused all east ern eyes to glue themselves on the Pa- cific coast, and has made the far and golden west the cynasun of American atA tention.

 MT Douglass took occasion to score Congress for it's petty politics, while the world wes waiting for the adoption of the treaty of peace
 Walker county is conceded to be the big battle-ground upon which will be fought the campaign for the election of a congressman for the Tenth district. It is claimed that Douglass will have a large majority in Franklin, it being his home county, and that he will have a good following in some of the western counties of the district. So this leaves Walker county, the home of Mir. Bank head, as the deciding county as it now appears. There are two more candidates iE the race. but as yet they have not be- gun any very active campaign. Local politics is beginning to warm up very much. The office of tax collector is the one attracting most attention. There are now some sixteen announce ments for this office and others taking O. announcing.

Eat Hard Food as.
Exercise for Teeth

Most people eat too much soft
food. Hard foods, like crusts,
toast, hard fruits, and nuts, which
require chewing, are beneficial.
They exercise the teeth and keep
them from decaying. The size and
weight of the food have little to do
with the work it does in the body.
A little pat of butter, Weighing
half an ounce, holds as much food
as a pound and a half of water
melon. Concentrated foods must
be eaten, of course, but the danger
with most people is that they eat
too much-~of such foods and not
enough of the bulky or filling
foods, such as lettuce, cucumbers,
celery, spinach, asparagus, cab
bage, cauliflower, beets, onions,
carrots, parsnips, squash, pump
kons, tomatoes and other garden
vegetables. Some raw foods, such
as fruits and salads, should be
eaten each day, as raw roods con-
tain certain beneficial elements
which are often lost in cooking.
Some foods, such as potatoes and
fish, should not be acen raw.

For The
Homemaker's Eve
Water in Vegetables
Good for the System

When looking over list of
vegetables where their chemical
composition is shown, one of the
first things noticed would be the
large amount of water they con-
tain. Even the substantial pota-
to is three-fourths water, and
other vegetables show even more,
especially salad plants or greens.
Why not drink more water, then,
instead of bothering to grow and
cook food which contains so little
solid substance? Whit can be
| found in the small percentage of
solids to warrant all this labor?
Physicians tell us that it is Of
ten a better way to take water into
|the system in fruit and vegetables
than to drink it in as large guam
fifty as is demanded by diet lack
ing in fruit and vegetables. Though
vegetables are mainly water, their
structure is such that their bulk
stimulates digestive processes. The
tendency in the foods of civilized
FaceS is toward excessive, concen-
tration, which induces sluggish di-
Eestion and the ills associated with
that condition of body.
Since it is closer to the earth
han the animal world, the veget-
Rbles dissolves, absorbs and puts
n form for US to assimiIate the
nineral substances needed to keep
the intricate human body in good
Cumming order. Through vegetables
I'VE may secure iron, lime and
phosphorus in better form for our
bodies than through any druggists
medical preparation.
We are just beginning to learn
that some raw vegetables have dis
flnct advantages over those which
re pared, cut and cooked in water
Ehich is thrown away. Wherever
It is reasonable the water in which
vegetables are cooked should be
saved as carefully as that from
meats, to be used much like meat
stock in sauces and soups.
