At least at one mo.il throughout the whole winter frosh or oanned fruit or vegetables should bo eaten. Eat plentifully of onions, celery and lettuce. In tho oity these last throe can be had in tho markets nearly tho whoie year round, but in the country perhaps tho celery and lettuce oariuot bo obtained during tho winter months. But onions oan always bo had, and there aro canned tomatoes, of which nearly ovory housewife has a supply, and theso should ho oaten just as thoy aro taken from tho cnn, with Bait and popper, and perhaps a little, vinegar added. Cranberry sauce is a splendid dish to go along with tho winier dinner, and apples, either raw, baked or made into sauce, will keep tho system froo from many impurities. Tho large amount of nitrogenous and carbonaceous food oaten makes it nooosBary that tho system should bo supplied with just tho aoids, vogo tablo juices and carthy salts that theso fruits and vegetables contain. They are antiscorbutic in thoir effect, and tend to keep tho system olonnsod from all impurities. Winter pimples, oczema, smallpox, scurvy and rheu matism prevail in tho winter simply because so little fruit and vcgotables aro oaten. There is no reason why theso diseases should bo any moro prevalent in winter. It is largely a mattor of diot. Don't sottlo down to a ration of pork and corn-broad, baked beans and fried potatoes. Eat meat if you must, and eat corn-broad and beans and potatoes, also. Thoy aro good foods-good enough for anybody if properly cooked, but with your moat and beans and potatoes oat fruits and vegetables.

Shreveport, In., December 14. To-day's proceedings of tho boll wee vil convention were marked by ad drosses and papers treating of tho boll weevil. A number of govern ment experts were listed to speak. Theso exports declare tho weevil a groat evil and ineradicable. They toll of tho destruction wrought by the pest and next assort that cottou can bo produced in spite of it. One of tLo speakers, not on the program, got tho floor by special permission of tho convention and argued in favor of his contention that by using Paris green tho weevil can be exterminated. Tho trend of opinion is that the 'cevil will survive until its mission shall havo been accomplished. All that cnn bo dono is to fortify against it, or light it. An clement in the convention favor something in the nature of martini law over tho in fested districts requiring the land to bo turned out and thus cut off thc post of food supply. Tho convention program wns out short a day by the non-appearauco of gentlomen who had agreed to speak. Notwithstanding tho fact that no pinn for the destruction of thc wee vil! has been proposed, tho conven tion hOB proved n body of good listonors. A feature of tho government ex perts' remedy is diversification of orops. As quite all of those gentle men aro from tho North and West, thoy seo tho plan as something wholly now in this section of tho country. That was tho methqd which prevailed throughout tho South up to 18G5. Then cotton was made a surplus money crop and the plan mado tho South a country of wealthy planters and farmers. By far tho most important notion taken by tho convention was that with roforenco to holding cotton for 10 cents, tho true prioo. Tho mem bers expressed themselves this morn ing ns moro than delighted with tho unanimous action Inst night. --??? - Postmaster General Wynne has removed from office Frank ll.

A Woman'? Rich Find. Columbia, Docombor 15.-As a Ohristma? gift, the Stato of South Carolina will redeem bonds of the State and present to Mrs. Ilelf Fel ton, of Springfield, Muss., thc mun of $2,820 with interest nt tho rate of 4? per cont from July, 1908. Tho story of tho finding of tho bonds, which wore thought to bo of no value, reads like a little Christmas story and is rather pccculiar to say tho lcast.^Mrs. Felton, according to her lotter, found tho two bonds among a lot of old papers, and did not bother with them for some timo. Finally, in going over all of them sho looked over tho two and decided to investigate. Not being able to employ a lawyer, she wrote the letter herself and tho mat ter was taken up by tho Comptroller General with the above result. No doubt MIB. Feltor will have a bettor opinion of^ South Carolina chan most of tho people of hor State, as thc money was really "picked up." Tax on Corporations.

The up-to-date farmer knows what to feed his cows to get the most milk, his pigs to get the most pork, his hens to get the most eggs. Science. But how about the children ?
