THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 51. Development of Manchurian Interests to Be Made Under Control of Japanese Government. Washington, D. C.—According to advice received by the bureau of manufacturers, the Japanese government has undertaken one of the greatest experiments in the world's history, which indicates a clear purpose to protect, supervise, develop and nationalize all Japanese industries. The question of Manchurian development has received careful attention, and it is now proposed that a company should be formed by the government and private capitalists jointly for working and developing the railways, mines and forests in Manchuria. If successful along the lines Japan is now working, it is stated that the individuals and corporations of America that are striving for the trade of the Orient will discover that they are not competing for this trade against individuals and corporations of Japan, but that they are in commercial conflict with the Japanese nation itself. A great guild of cotton manufacturing companies of Japan has been formed to capture the Manchurian trade. In addition to this enterprise the government has decided to make the loan through the Yokohama Specie bank, without limitations as to the amount not only on cotton textiles, but on matches, cement, beer, marine products, lumber and other goods to be imported to Manchuria at the rate of 4½ per cent, per annum. The government will pursue a similar policy with regard to Korea where the First bank is to act as the Specie bank acts in Manchuria. TRAGEDY IN A MAD HOUSE. A Patient Kills Two of the Inmates and Mortally Wounds a Keeper. Scranton, Pa.—A terrible tragedy was perpetrated in the Hillside home Wednesday, when one of the insane patients killed two of the inmates and mortally wounded one of the keepers. The murderer is Ignatz Krewzyp, a deaf and dumb Pole, who was not regarded as dangerous. He was given work in one of the wards with two women, also insane patients, Mrs. Ann Gold and Mrs. Ann Valen. The three were moving some cots under the direction of Keeper Richard Davies, who left the room momentarily. Seizing the opportunity afforded by the keeper's absence the insane man into the doctor's office and three placed up an amputating knife with a blade about ten inches long and ran up stairs to the upper floor. Keeper Davies ran after Krewzyp and the latter turned upon him and buried the knife in the keeper's chest. He then attacked the two women. He stabbed Mrs. Golden in the chest, the knife piercing her body twice, and then stabbed Mrs. Van Valen once. Both women died soon afterward. Mrs. Golden lived in Elkland and has been an inmate of the home for nine years. Mrs. Van Valen was a resident of Scranton and had been in the home for four years. Krewzyz is 35 years of age and was one of the most powerful inmates of the institution. After the deed was committed he jabbered in a vehement manner and no sign or motion could come from him. He is now a raving maniac. Burned to Death. Boise, Idaho—Charles A. Justus and three children of his sister, Mrs. Samuel Moudy, were burned to death at the family homestead Wednesday night. The parents of the children were in a hospital at Boise, where Mrs. Moudy had recently submitted to an operation. Justus remained with her seven children. When the house was found to be on fire the four older children escaped. Justus went to the school, helping to clean up the younger ones. Soon afterward a shot was heard and neither Justus nor the women were afterwards seen alive. Mr. Moudy says that a loaded rifle was kept hanging under the stairway, and he believes that the heat caused the gun to explode and kill Justus while he was on the way to rescue the children.

Verdict of Coroner's Jury in Kinaan Murder—Unknown Person Killed Mrs. Kinaan. New York.—Burtoni W. Gibson, formerly counsel for Mrs. Alice Kinaan, who was mysteriously murdered on the night of June 8 in the old homestead in the Bronx occupied by her mother, Mrs. L. M. Stenton, and herself, was Tuesday night committed to the Tombs by order of Coroner McDonald in default of $25,000 bail. This action followed the close of the coroner's inquest Tuesday night, when the jury brought in a verdict that Mrs. Kinaan was murdered by a person or persons unknown, and recommended that Gibson be held for examination by the grand jury. Gibson occupied the stand during the greater part of Tuesday's session. He said that Mrs. Stenton engaged him to defend squatter proceedings which had been instituted against her property and establish her right to title. After prolonged litigation the property was sold in September, 1905 for $5,000, extensively to Archbald M. McFarland, and in reality to Gibson, and nine months later was resold for $90,000. Of the profit Gibson admitted $20,000 was to go to himself and the remainder to his father, McFarland and John Kelly, who were associated in the deal. It appeared that the only money received by Mrs. Stenton was $6,000, given to her by a lawyer, Ashton, who acted with Gibson in the legal proceeding. Gibson admitted that after the murder he had visited the Stenton house and had removed certain documents and articles of value. This, he claimed, he had a right to do, and declared he had notified the polices at that time. RELEASED FROM CUSTODY Citizens Demand Release of Man Charged with Threatening to Kill. Wichita, Kan.—James Oliver, formerly an Iowa farmer, who was arrested a month ago on a charge of threatening to kill L. F. Nattzger, president of the Fourth National bank of Wichita, was released from jail Tuesday and the charges against him were dismissed. A year ago Oliver shot and killed J. D. Casey, head of the Casey-Garst Wholesale Candy Co. Oliver had placed $20,000, all he owned, in the firm, which almost immediately failed, and he killed Casey when the latter refused to return any of the money. Oliver was acquitted. Oliver asserted that Banker Naftzger had urged him to make the investment in the candy company, which was indebted to the bank. Oliver, reduced to poverty, pleaded with President Naftzger for money to provide necessities for the Oliver family. That took place between the two men is not known, but Oliver was arrested, charged with threatening to kill. Monday a mass meeting of citizens was held and Oliver's release was demanded. Of Interest to Labor Unions Washington, D. C. — The commandant of the Washington navy yard, Capt. Leutz, has made a recommendation to Acting Secretary Newberry that may be of vital importance to labor organizations throughout the country, for it involves the right of unions to arbitrarily fix the maximum product of each workman for a day. To secure the full possibilities of the plant at the Washington gun foundation it is proposed to do one of two things, either put the men on piece work or to resort to what is known in the manufacturing world as the "premium system." his system is based on an admission of the right of the union to say what a workman's maximum output shall be for a given wage, but it permits the men to do more work if they choose to do so, receiving a proportionate increase in pay. Opened Charlemagne's Coffin. Axl La Chapelle, Prussia.—The sarcophagus of Charlemagne was opened Tuesday at Emperor William's wish for the purpose of examining two precious cloths. These and other relics were found to be in good condition. Three documents were found dated 1481, 1483 and 1861.

Chicago, Ill.-Dr. Carl Beck, of the North Dr. hospital, in illustrating a remarkable theory that a man or woman can live without a stomach, revealed the fact that there is a Chicago woman, Mrs. Hansen, in perfect health, who for six years has lived without a stomach. "I removed her stomach six years ago, and she is well and hearty today," said Dr. Beck. "It was necessary to make intestinal connections and to give artificial nourishment for a time.

THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the "NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The Asheville (N. C.) Guide informs us that Secretary Taft addressed a "illly white" republican convention at Greensboro, N. C. Because prejudiced white Texans objected, Secretary of War Taft has recinded the order sending a battalion of Afro-American regulars of the Twenty-fifth infantry to the instruction camp at Austin, Tex. Only white regulars and the state militia will assemble there. Great is southern prejudice! Great (?) is Taft. As the result of such general disfranchisement at the south and the consequent nullifying of portions of the fundamental law of the land, it seems high time that President Roosevelt was speaking out in no uncertain tone to the people, especially of that section of the country, in the defense of the United States constitution. --- On last Thursday week New York was treated to the extraordinary spectacle of white union men striking to compel a company of contractors to recognize the Afro-American members of the union. The Cecelia Asphalt Paving Co., which has the contract for paving the square around Cooper Union, began by filling the places of the Afro-American pavers and rammersmen with Irish and German. The strikers won. The Pensacola (Fla.) Sentinel in speaking of Mr. Taft's recent Greensboro speech says: "The secretary admits that the ignorant Negro should be disfranchised, but that the ignorant white man should be allowed to vote." Surely, President Roosevelt does not endorse any such statement as that. And yet the daily newspapers of the country announce that Secretary Taft submitted his speech to the president before leaving for the south to deliver it. Mrs. Annie Hartley (white), of Helena, Ark., convicted Govan Beard for criminal assault upon her and caused him to be sentenced to be hanged at Helena, July 18. Since the conviction and prior to the 18th of this month she became repentent and made confessions completely exonerating the Afro-American of the charge of assault. In spite of this Gov. Jeff Davis, of that state, refused to interfere or take any action whatever in the case. Beard is one of hundreds of southern Afro-Americans whose lives have been sacrificed in the very same way. It is simply terrible, especially when one realizes that there is no hope for a change in the miserable condition of affairs of the south that make possible such heartrending results. TAFT'S SPEECH. A careful reading of the Hon. W. H. Taft's recent Greensboro, N. C., speech shows clearly that he did not have the Afro-American's suffrage or other rights foremost in either his mind or heart, during its delivery or at the time of its composition. The secretary of war too frequently shows in the orders from that department the high (?) esteem in which he holds the Afro-American and the high esteem in which he holds the southern whites, republicans and democrats. His speech too, will not help the republican organization of a single southern state to build up a republican party. It was clearly a "knock" largely throughout, and a hard one too. Furthermore loyal northern republicans do not labor to elect republican presidents to have federal patronage placed at the disposal of southern democrats, even if Mr. Taft thinks so. The Greensboro "knock" and the one he gave Ohio republicans last fall, are samples of a sort of thing not even President Roosevelt can make popular with loyal republicans, north or south. Mr. Taft's speech is a transparent and weak bid for the favor of "Independents" that is not only vain and unwise but detrimental to party harmony and success. Nor does it do any good, or catch "Independent" or democratic "suckers", particularly in the south. We are opposed and have always been and will always be to democratic "referees" when it comes to the distribution of federal patronage because we fail to note any good results and because it has practically destroyed the semblance of state republican parties that existed prior to the adoption of the hybrid (referee) system. It is a McKinley-Hanna rattle that should be cast aside not only in justice to the decent, loyal and in- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1906. telligent republicans of the south but also in justice to those of the north. President Roosevelt is too far-seeing and able an executive to longer tolerate the thing. Let him cut loose from it and depend upon his own excellent judgment and that of his loyal republican friends in the selection of republicans at the south for appointment to federal positions just as he does in this section of the country. The republicans of the north are entitled to this consideration if not those of the south, for the splendid work they do in the campaigns and at the polls in every national election and others. Southern Brutality Detroit may have her knockers, Chicago her drunken anarchists and St. Louis her noisy Missouri roustabouts, but for genuine disagreeableness the Washington bleachers have them all faded. Composed of Negroes who have paid 25 cents for the privilege of abusing white men, unkicked, they just busy themselves with this pastime throughout the game. Negroes in Washington are the most independent in the country. Having heard orators spouting liberty, equality and the fraternity of the races in congress for so many years, together with the fact that Booker T. Washington dined with President Roosevelt she swelled up the dingy patriots behind him, and the ball park is about the only place where they may take liberties unrestrained in their speech to white men. The result is that Washington's bleachers are known all over the circuit as the toughest in the league. The grandstand crowd, however, is just the opposite. Many a prince of royal blood, together with prominent statesmen, are numbered among the patrons of the game at Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth acquaint themselves when they are in Washington — 11 F. Haceck. In The News of July 12. Cleveland. July 13. 1906. C. A. Otis, Jr., Cuyahoga Bldg., City. Dear Sir—Above you will find a clipping from the Cleveland News of July 12, written by one Lee F. Heacock, a "baseball" reporter of your paper. The article shows a maliciousness which is entirely too apparent. Some weeks ago when in Washington, D. C., I saw thousands of white men seated upon the bleachers occupying 25-cent seats with Negroes. If you have ever attended a ball game there you have doubtless noticed the same thing. The contemptible animus prompting the writer of the article above is characteristic of the Georgia "Cracker," and is what we had to do when you were 15 years ago. At that time I called your attention to it in a letter. While those of my people who have had the privilege of enjoying your friendship thoroughly appreciate it, they also feel as deeply in another way such contemptible publications as the fellow, Heacock, is ever, and anon guilty of writing for the News. I trust you will put a stop to it. Let him vent his spleen in some Georgia publication and not in the News. I call your attention particularly to the second sentence of the second paragraph of the clipping. Very truly yours, If Mr. Olsis does not "muzzle" the Georgia "Gracker," Heacock, at once, do not allow the News to come into your home and tell all of your neighbors, friends and acquaintances to bar it.

The Intensely Practical Poet. BY J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. Batch Was a Failure "Now, if you could only write poetry. "Poetry be—I beg your pardon, but do you know that I think you are very foolish" and Harry Furber shrugged his shoulders, jabbed his hands into his pockets, and thought the question decided. "I wish I could get you to appreciate the artistic. It is a great thing to love art." "My goodness, I love you, and that is enough for me. I can go to the theater and pick a good play every time I see one. At the exhibit, I can admire the best pictures. I like beautiful singing. I can read a good story or a good book, but poetry—and you now want me to write some." "You are too intensely practical." "And you don't like 'intensely practical' people?" "They are very nice to have around." "Then I may come around as usual, you won't deny me that?" "Oh, no; you are always welcome." Then Furber took his leave. As he went down the steps of the Koesler mansion, he met Robert Phelan, but he did not look at him. Phelan was a poet. They had been at Harvard together. Both had very indulgent fathers. Phelan had written poetry for the "Monthly," and in his senior year had been chosen to be its literary editor. After graduating he had still continued to write poetry, and once his contribution had been accepted by an eastern magazine. Furber had been a little of everything in college, and in the end had turned out to be not much of anything. He had made many friends, had a good time, managed to get a diploma, and, he asked: "What more could anyone want?" Immediately after graduation, Furber, the elder, had taken his son into his office, intent on teaching him the grain business. Furber was a name much known on 'change in Chicago. Harry Furber was appointed to be one of the representatives of the firm in the pit, and he had soon learned to bid in on the wheat with the best of them. But Ruth Koessler was his stumbling block, and Phelan, the poet, was the hard thing he bumped against every time he stumbled. Together, Furber and Phelan had begun to call upon Ruth. Ruth said she liked both of them, she had gradually developed a sense for the artistic, and Furber was not artistic, but Phelan was a poet, and so he must be artistic. He could talk all about ancient Greece and Rome, and could quote much from the classics. Furber knew the original source of these lectures, and although he liked to hear Ruth talk, he would not stand for anything that came from his rival. And now she wanted him to write poetry. It was the middle of the forenoon, and things had quieted down in the pit. The market was holding steady, and Furber was wondering what effect the war in the east would have on the year's cron. He walked up out of the pit and sat down in a chair away from the rest of the crowd. He was thinking of Ruth again. He sat and thought of the talk they had had the day before. Then a smile something akin to the kind he wore when he had done something very well, stole across his face. He pulled a pad of paper from his pocket, and for half an hour he seemed to be struggling with something in his mind, once in awhile writing down something, and the men in the pif continued to loaf and talk automobiles, and prices in wheat still held steady. "Then, when the half hour was up, he smiled again, reread what he had written, and then looked about him. "Hello, there, Ripley!" he called. "I have got a scheme," Furber said. "I want you to get up there in the pit and introduce me as 'the great and only,' you understand. Then I will get up and speak my piece." "All right," and Ripley went over to a long, inclosed desk, where several men were writing, and spoke a few wards to them. Then he came back to the pit and took a position where he could be heard by all. "Gentlemen," he said, "I am about to introduce to you our far-famed, great and only illustrious friend and coworker, Furber, the poet," and Ripley stopped to get his breath, and everyone applauded. "He has composed a poem in your honor—your honor, I say, the honor of all of us," and he stopped again, and there was some more cheering. "Now, gentlemen, I want you to give your best attention. The show begins right away." A chair was brought, and Furber, with the sheet of paper in one hand, got up into it, blushing like a little girl making her first appearance at a Sunday-School Christmas tree. Then he began: There's a bull upon the market, And the bear is waxing hot; In the East the Jaws are fighting, And the bear is waxing hot; No the bear is waxing hot. Simple Mistake That Made Biscuit Entirely Unavailable as an Article of Diet. A young woman a few nights ago while entertaining a young man, a former schoolmate, in the absence of the rest of her family, determined to take advantage of the knowledge she had acquired in cooking school to produce a practical demonstration of her capabilities, by making a batch of fluffy, toothsome biscuits. She attired herself like a finished mistress in the culinary art, and the young man, anxious, to be useful, tied an apron on his waist. The work went merrily on—flour covered the mixing pan, the laborers and everything within ten feet of them. Suddenly the young woman was evidently puzzled; she searched high and low, in the dining-room, kitchen, pantry and closets without apparently making the looked-for discovery. "I can't find the cream of tartar," she said in a mournful tone. Both con- The farmers want high prices, they all yell for dollar wheat; So they scare the trade with cries. Cries fly by and rips of sheet; And the bear keeps waxing hot. There are many wheat crop killers, With this bulld upon the market, Yelling hail and blight and frost; But the Russian bear ain't in it, With this bear that's always hot. When he finished the applause, which had broken out in several places, grew roaring, for these men of the pit could yell, and then some one started a tine, and in turn Furber was compelled to shake the hand and receive the congratulations of every man in the room. Late that afternoon, Furber took his way lesurely out to the Koessler mansion, and he hoped that she would be at home. He didn't have time to wait for the evening editions to appear on the streets, but he would make her read his poetry out of her own newspaper. Phelan, coming down the steps as he ascended, was a damper on his feelings, but could not suppress them by any means. "I am so glad to see you!" cried Ruth, as she opened the door in answer to his ring. "Nothing artificial about that welcome," thought Furber. Then he managed to have her take him out on the enclosed veranda that overlooked the street. He wanted to get that paper from the carrier as soon as he could. In the meantime they talked. "I believe I could like intensely practical people," Ruth said, guardedly. "But they can't write poetry." "When I was down town this morning, I went over to see what you were doing. I was up in the balcony, and—" "I never saw you," broke in Furber, and a sickly feeling came over him. He wondered at what time she was up there in the balcony. "No, but I saw you, and you seemed so excited, just like all the others. I do not know what you were all shouting about, but I knew that you were doing things. Everything seemed on the move." "Thank you," said Furber, and he felt relieved. "She must have been up there afterwards," he thought. At that moment the paper carried came around the corner, and in a few minutes Furber was eagerly turning the pages of a copy. Ruth wondered what was the matter with him. Then he dropped the paper and looked out towards the street. He could not look at her. "Why, what's this?" said Ruth, and he turned. The paper was lying where it had fallen with the last page upwards. Sure, there it was. He had forgotten to look at the last page. He picked up the paper and handed it to Ruth. This individual newspaper devoted the last page to special features. It had certainly made a feature of him. There was a write-up with the poem telling all about it and the author, but there was also—he swore he would jump on that reporter next time he met him—the picture of himself in his running togs at college. It must have been the cut they used that year he ran in the mile. "University athlete goes through wheat pit to become a poet," it said. But Ruth was devouring it all. "Oh, Harry, how could you do it?" she said at last. "Easy," and Harry would have hugged that reporter. Then Ruth got up and went into the house followed by Furber. She got a scissors and carefully clipped the poem from the paper. "Say, Harry," she said, as she finished, "you can do almost anything, can't you?" Harry was too much flattered to answer. "Well—" and Ruth blushed slightly and smiled at him. "Ruth," and Harry stretched out his arms toward her imploringly. When they closed, they circled about Ruth, for she was within them. (Copyright, 1906, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Origin of Old Saving "Don't care a fig," is not an allusion to the cheapness of figs. In English-speaking lands many other fruits cost less and are less prized. It would be much more natural to say "Don't care a berry." But "fig," in this usage, is a corruption of "fico." and "fico" is a snap of the fingers. Shakespeare used "fico" instead of "fig." Didn't Budge. "These Americans are frauds. I noticed a big sign on a building in New York which said: 'This house will move on Wednesday next to 320 Broadway.' All that day and all night I watched that building, and it never moved an inch."—Le Journal Horse in Civilization The life of the horse is said to have been reduced by civilization. At the age of 26 the domestic animal is as old as if it had lived 30 years in a free state. tinued the search with the result that a small bag of white powder, supposed to be the article in question, was found poked away in the corner of a closet. The work was soon over and the result placed in the oven. When the time was up, both young people cautiously opened the door and gazed at a wonderful sight. Each little biscuit puffed on high, had a shiny top as if gilded, and was as hard as steel. When the young woman's mother returned it was found that they had used borax instead of cream of tartar. City Greenhouse for Mourners To encourage the poorer classes to decorate the graves of relatives and friends with growing flowers instead of with artificial wreaths or cut flowers the Hammersmith borough council, of England, has erected a greenhouse near its cemetery gates, where geraniums and other pot flowers may be bought for a few pence Hitherto graves have been adorned with flowers placed in jars and bottles.

It is astonishing to say the least to see our people picnicing at places where a color line is drawn tight in other pleasure departments of the grounds. Stop it or you will continue to put premiums on gratitudous insults and humiliation. Even some of our churches have been guilty of making this great mistake. Walter B. Wright, sr., of Elliot street, gave a fine nine-course dinner Sunday in honor of Chaplain W. T. Anderson, of the Ninth cavalry. Covers were laid for 12.

FORD'S HAIR POMADE SNYDER'S RESTAURANT Mrs. Lucinda Johnson, aged 72 years, who was the last slave to be returned to the south from Ohio under the fugitive slave law, was buried in Woodland cemetery Tuesday after noon, the funeral being held from Mt Zion church, Rev. J. S. Jackson officiating. Nearly a year ago she was injured in a fall down a cellarway, and since that time has been in the City hospital, where she died last Saturday. In 1861 she escaped from Kentucky and made her way to Cleveland. Here she was arrested, and the case attracted wide-spread attention. Cleveland citizens backed habeas corpus proceedings to detain her. Finally she was ordered into the cusses of the officers for return to the south. She was taken to West Virginia, but after the emancipation proclamation made her way back to Ohio. Eventually she returned to Cleveland, where she married George Johnson, who survives her. She had been a member of Mt. Zion church for 30 years. MAKE MONEY!

Women utter these words over and over again, but continue to drag along and suffer with aches in the small of the back, pain low down in the side, "bearing down" pains, nervousness and no ambition for any task. Miss Maude Morris They do not realize that the back is the mainspring of woman's organism, and quickly indicates by aching a diseased condition of the female organ or kidneys, and that the aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been for many years the one and only effective remedy in such cases. It speedily cures female and kidney disorders and restores the female organs to a healthy condition. The compound is used with the treatment for over two years, suffering pain each month, my back ached until it seemed as though it would break, and I felt so weak all the time that I could be afraid of my work but had to stay in a large part of the first two or three days every month. I would have sleeps nights, bad dreams and severe headaches. All this undermined my health. "We consulted an old family physician, who advised that I try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "I can eat it regularly soon, and I could be afraid of eating better than I had done for months. Within two months I became regular and I no longer suffer from backache or pain."-Miss Maude Morris, Sec. Ladies Aid and Mission Society, so E. Hunter Sr., Atlanta, Ga. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR The thing that makes a pretty hat is the face under it. People may love their children for their faults, but might few others. Singing in a choir is the very best way not to make friends of the rest of it. Hardly anybody would like to get the cussing a millionaire has without his money. There is hardly anything that makes a woman madder than to have her photograph look like her. The meanest man is the one who won't kiss a doll for a child when she thinks it has been hurt. When you see a man looking pretty cheerful in town it's a sign his family is away for the summer. A very useful thing about an amateur garden is it's such a nice place for the dog to bury his bones. Girls don't get much fun out of going in swimming unless there is some man around to show them how. Even if a baby understands the language the women talk to it he'd be ashamed to admit it by answering. A man can make a good deal of money in stocks by being careful not to have anything to do with them. When a man lets a collar button fall and brags that it didn't roll under the bureau it's a sign he is a perjurer. One of the meanest things a man can do when his wife has a point in an argument that can't be beaten is to agree with her.-N. Y. Press. BADGER PHILOSOPHY A man can't be unusually polite without being looked upon with suspicion. When the real nature of a man's business is in doubt it is often hinted that he is a gambler. A woman is never satisfied with herself until she has outdone her neighbor in some respect. It's hard to understand why actors with such fabulous salaries always stop at such modest hotels. Lots of people think they have been cheated unless they get more 'than their money's worth.-Milwaukee Sentinel. OUTDOOR LIFE Will Not Offset the Ill Effects of Coffee When One Cannot Digest It. A farmer says: "It was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, they were caused by the use of coffee until I got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eating. There were times when I could eat only boiled milk and bread and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. "I doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could for my stomach in the way of medicine, but if I got any better it only lasted a little while until I was almost a walking skeleton. "One day I read an ad for Postum and told my wife I would try it, and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge: "I quit coffee entirely and used Postum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat anything that is cooked to eat. I have increased in weight until now I weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stomach since I began using Postum. Why, I believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge. "My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the effects it had on me, and when they were feeling bad they began to use Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Postum." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Ten days' trial of Postum in place of coffee proves the truth, an easy and pleasant way. "There's a reason."

It is a pretty fancy to make yokes of lace insertion with a frill of lace at each seam of insertion sleeves. The Fashions for the Automobilist The most sensible thing noticed at present is the small hat. Time was when the woman autoist affected the big picture hat, but it proved too much for coiffure and temper, and she wisely gave it up. Almost any small hat that can be worn under an automobile vell is considered right for automobile answers this purpose very well. Many women, however, like to have a distinctive wrap and hat for the hours when they are touring, and there is offered for their choice-a wide variety. The long turban simply trimmed is a A SENSIBL E. T. Lombard A SENSIBLE COSTUME. favorite, the cap with visor has some adherents. Responding to the present liking for grays, the milliners are displaying charming little gray crin hats with long gray chiffon veils shirred here, left plain there. Worn with one of the gray satin coats now much the mode, the costume is very modern as well as fresh and pretty. Not a few women when they go in for sports of any kind like their clothes to bear sportsman air; and for these there are provided trim auto suits of tailored style. These are coat suits of pongee or khaki, with gay vest, skirt short, shirt-waist severely plain. In contrast is the autist with love for luxury and feminine fripperies. HAVE YOU A TALKING CLOCK? Ingenious Adaptation of the Phonograph Idea Is the Latest—It Has Much Value. They are making clocks now that speak the hour instead of striking it. They do this through an ingenious adaptation of the phonograph idea. When a young man who is calling at a late hour hears the new clock remark in clear and cutting tones: "Twelve o'clock!" he will be very apt to gasp and ask the young woman if that was her father's voice. Even after you get used to the talking clock there will continue to be an element of surprise in his remarks. This will be more noticeable when the clock happens to run slow or fast—it makes no difference which. To hear a clock emphatically inform you that it is two o'clock, when you feel sure it is four, will add another element of interest to the new timepiece. No doubt the invention can be utilized as an improvement on the alarm clock. By the application of mechanism the hour you have decided to rise BILLOWING PLUMES. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1906. fluffiness about the face is very becoming. At last we are finding some excellent models of Princess gowns, and the best of all have several rows of shirring at the waist line, enough to do away with any snark outlining of curve of hip and bust. The shirring begins just below the bust, and the lower rows form a dip in the front, do not run straight around, but start from the sides and slope downward. Touches of vivid green are chic and refreshing these hot days. The smart summer girl wears a skirt of light weight and very light colored gray the summer girl wears a black and white linen frock, white ground with big black spots; made with Peter Pan waist and neat untrimmed skirt. She wears an immense black taffeta bow in her hair and a white sailor with black velvet band. A mother-of-pearl buckle is very suitable for a wash belt, and such a buckle comes with a slide for the back of the belt, a good idea, wash belts so apt to look mussey after one wearing. In the popularity of Princess and corselet skirt, belts are not so noticeable features of costumes as formerly, but when worn should be very carefully chosen. One sees charming old-fashioned looking flowered muslins; gray tissue sprigged with moss rosebuds; white lawn picked out in stiff little sprays of corn flowers. No colored ribbons with these, please; the trimming, just a little linen lace, or the use of soft white mull, introduced as necker and part of the sleeve. Her auto wrap, all white and voluminous, with immense sleeves, looks like an opera cloak. Her floating white chiffon vell adds to the partified ensemble. When she alights for dinner at the country club and removes her wrap, there is disclosed a very elegant summer toilet, she looks all ready for the ball room. Now we come to the happy mean, the woman that likes automobiling for the pleasure of the ride rather than because autoling is "the thing;" and dresses neither in mannish fashion nor as if going to a dance—just in temperate apparel. And we confess a. t. limebeard a personal liking for this woman. Her coat is long and sensible, quite covers her dress, but not of a startling sweep. It it fits comfortably, the long lines follow the figure in a graceful way. The hat is close, the veil not too assertive. No need for this woman when the speed's put on to clutch hat and draperies; her costume was designed to withstand wind and weather. Ponge, linen, khaki are chosen for the dust coat, and for time of rain the manufacturers now have a sheeny satin that is well waterproofed. Gauntlets are worn with some of the suits, and the ordinary long gloves with the opera cloak sort of wrap. For the woman who drives the machine herself a gauntlet is the glove to choose. can be shouted in your ears with vigorous fervor—and repeated several times if necessary. The clock could also be taught to say: "Get up if you want to catch the train!" or something like that. But to make such a clock available as an uplifter of boyhood it will be necessary to closely echo the words of a father who is used to being heard and obeyed. Not soft spoken: "Jimmy, it's getting late," will do. What is wanted is the good, old-fashioned: "James, you tumble down those stairs quicker'n scat! Do you hear me?" The ball dress has the golden train And each frock has a claim; The bathing suit has no size at all, But it gets there just the same. -N. Y. Sun. Stumbling Into Greatness.

"I abused my stomach, my blood got out of order and then my face broke out with pimples and boils," says T. E. Robertson, of 197 Addison street, Washington, Pa. "This was over two years ago. My stomach was in bad shape. After eating I would have to rest awhile or I would suffer the most severe pains in my stomach. On arising I would often be so dizzy that I could hardly stand up. The slightest exertion would start my down and rest awhile. At times I experienced a pain around the heart which shamed me but which I suppose came from my stomach trouble. "I began to break out on the face with pimples and later with boils which confined to the house a week or more at a time. One day she said Williams' Bed Pillles广告 advertised in a pamphlet which was left at the door and I thought I would give them a trial. I took several boxes of the pills before all the pimples and boils left me, but I am now glad to say that my blood is good. I do not have any eruptions and I no longer have the head and stomach troubles I have described. I am very grateful for what Dr. Williams had done for me, and I have been able to always will advise those who are suffering from bad blood or stomach trouble to try them."
