D* FA VOH OP AFPUML “Appi** breed optimism, energy, cheerfulness and ambition. - says Charles Kdround Tomlinson, of Chicago. founder of the Apple Club of America. He Is worthy successor and eomplsment of “Appleseed Johnny ■' The latter traveled about the i-oi<n-try half a century ago planting apple seede wherever he went. Now Mr. Tomlinson Is golug about urging people to eat the fruit of the trees thus propagated, or any other trees, •'t the rate of at least one apple a

day.

Life wold be but a scurvy proposition, especially on shipboard und In the arctic regions, were It not for the gift of the apple. It is the most universal of fruits, and the cheapest. North America produces annually about a hundred million bsrrels. Every week this country sends tc Europe 250.000 barrels. The apple Is decorative In color and outline, delicious to the palate, salubrious to the liver. Its juices prolong youth and retard the onset of the elder years by dissolving the mineral deposits that form along the blood channels. An appla will often cure the Internal uneaslneaa caused by a strong cigar. It Is the beat ■‘keeper" among fruits, and at winter's end the sole pledge of summer la the bins of most families. THE FRENCH TAX ON TITLES. H is proposed In France, where Ingenuity In devising new sources of revenue has been raised to a &ne art, to Impose a tai on titles of nobility. In a nation which has taxed windows and door* the proposal vrlll not seem extraordinary. The odd thing Is that the republic which has declared such titles fictitious should now recognise them as a means of national Income. A point of Interest for the outer world Is that only genuine titles will be taxed. Their legitimacy will thus be guaranteed by Government stamp, and fathers of heiresses contemplating an Investment may pay down the purchase money with the same assurances of validity which safeguard real-estate transactions, says the Denver Post. The tax should be welcomed by the old noblesse, whose rank It establishes beyond Impeachment. They may yet, Indeed, come to taka a pride in their framed certificates of Inspection only lees than that In the original patent. It will bear hardest on those not required to pay It—the holders of titles for whose authencity the state will not vouch. Henceforth they will be classed as Irregular Issues and dealt in only on the curb. TRANSPLANTATION OK EYES. A new surgical miracle is reported from Vienna, where Dr. Zlrm 1* stated to have successfully sffected the partial reconstruction of the human eye. This Is done by transplanting the sound cornea of one person to the optic of the patient. As an example of surgical skill It Is remsrkable; but Its benefit to humanity Is decidedly leseened by the fact that the gain to the patient Is at the cost of the one who furnishes the sound cornea Even though there should bs such self-sacrifice the surgical science would not diminish the misfortune but would simply trues fer It troni one to the other. There seems to be an Idea In this connection that poor people will be found to sell sound eyes to people rich enough to pay high prices for them. Besides the odious Imputation of the raison d'etre of the poor to sell essential parts of their lives to tht rich this raises the question of appraisal. What sum will recompense a poor man for the lost of sight? What will pay him for half of should say that anyone who undertakes to bargain with a poor man for one of his eyes would enter upon a very delicate and questionable negotiation. WHAT CAN’T WE RAISE. The announcement recently made that the marketing of the first crop of American tea grown on a commercial scale had begun at Charleston, S. C. V hat a wonderful country we have when we come to think of its unexampled variety of climate and temporaturs We raise Icebergs In the north and oragnes, lemons and tropical fruit In the south, and In the golden west California has even adopted the fig tree, while the ostrich stmts with as brilliant feathers as graced Its wings on the torrid sands of Africa. We can raise all sorts of weather, all kinds of fruit, all kinda of men and women, all kinds of statesmen, but only one kind of loyalty thrives on this soil— reverence for the flag and devotion to the republic. Tea is something new, but still the possibilities of the country presage something greater »i 111. It Is s great communion of states, most happily described ‘ M«ny as the billows but oae as tbs

JESS TUBS LAST CHANGE

“After three years of doctoring for my stomach I became discouraged and swore I wouldn’t take anything else. I was bloated with gas all the time. Someone praised Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy so highly that I decided to take a last chance. I am now feeling like a new man.” It is a simple harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. For sale by all leading druggists everywhere.

NEW VIOLIN CLASS HAS TWENTY NEW MEMBERS

The new violin class recently organized by Prof Ralph C. Sloane, super visor of music in the Public schools, met last Saturday for the first time and the results of Prof. Sloane’s efforts were very encouraging. Twenty new members turned out for practice, each equipped with violin and stands. The class meets every Saturday af temoon at the High School and while the work is not a part of the regular school work, the students are given credit for the extra work done. Those taking piano are placed in a separate and more advanced class.

Mrs. Lucy Black left today for New York City for an extended visit with her daughter Mrs. Lawrence Sloane and Mr. Sloane and children.

enclosed cars are gaining in popular ity, as 23 percent of the 1921 pr*. daction were Sedans and Coupes as against a total of 18 percent for €be year previous. Recent reductions in Ford car i«g| truck prices brought them to a new low level. The Touring Car now ielj. for $348, the Runabout for $319, the Coupe for $580, the Sedan for £$4$, the Chassis for $285 and the Truck for $430, all F. O. B. Detroit. This is the fourth price cut in the past sixteen months. During that tlme the price of the touring car alone has been cut from $575 to $348 a red notion of 40 percent. Reduction* „„ some of the other types have heetr even greater. The Ford Company believes that this reduction, while not a large one, is especially important at this time as it should go a long way toward stabilizing market conditions . Ford is giving employment at present to approximately 40,000 men in his main plant at Detroit, the importance of which is emphasized when consideration is given to the fact that nearly 20 percent of the city’s popula jtion is directly dependent upon the Ford Motor Company."

Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks and Fordson tractors have again exceeded the Million mark for the year 1921, according to a statement given out today by the Ford Motor Company. The Ford factory and assembly plant production figures reached a total of 1,050,740 cars, trucks and tractors for the year, with retail sales by dealers approximating 1,093,000, which in the United States alone surpased the 1920 retail sales record by 104, 213 Ford cars and trucks. The Ford Company says the outlook for 1922 is decidedly optomistic. In fact, concrete evidences already exist in that car and truck retail sal. es for December 1921, exceeded December 1920 sales by almost 25 per. cent, and Fordson tractor retail sales for the same periods show an increase of over 100 per cent for Decern her, 1921, as well as an increase over the total tractor sales for the month of November. These facts seem to indicate that not only are the farmers buying more freely, but that the general public is becoming more responsive and receptive. Another point brought out by a comparison of production figures for the past two years shows that Ford
