THE The Matter of DRESS This is essentially a year of costly simplicity. I never remember having seen so much costly lace used on summer gowns as this year, and besides this introduction of rare old lace the Blouse of Japanese Silk. The broad kimono straps snow a central insertion of embroidered muslin, and then, in front, the blouse is finely tucked and inserted with lace, groups of tiny silken buttons being another pretty detail of its trimming, while the elbow sleeves are arranged in quite a new way with crossed and many-buttoned straps of silk, to hold as their puffed fullness above a lace-insetted cuff. muslins themselves have been embroidered—by hand—in a manner so elaborate and fine as to defy description. Some of these embroidered muslin gowns are worn with the smartest possible little coatee-boileros of tussle or chine taffetas. For example, Blouse of Broderie Anglaise. The dainty effect of this blouse is enhanced by insertions of lace, all edged with tiny frilling, the scalloped yoke and the pretty shaped cuffs also 'introducing this pretty contrast of fine lace the more boldly patterned broderie. the skirt of one which I saw the other day was of very fine broderie Anglaise, entirely worked by hand, with bold cross-bars of Venetian gulpure insertion. At the venetian gulpure insertion were filled in with rich design of Cluny, and the whole thing was marvelously effective in a subdued way. Blouse of White Net and Lace. This blouse is mixed with Japanese silk, while, outwardly, it is finished with effective touches of pale blue satin, and crochet lace, and buttons of the blue, all edged with rufflings of Valenciennes lace. The yoke of Valenciennes insertion is outlined with scrolls of gulpure appliqué, and connecting folds of the blue satin, the sleeves being distinguished by the novel and pretty way in which folds of satin are passed through circlets of lace, while then frills of lace frame the elbow becoming; and, finally, there may be noted a deeply draped satin waist-band, fastened at the back with two of those button-rosettes. The little coattee—which in front was shaped like an Eton jacket set in wide clears—was made of ivory taffetas. Blouae of Chiffon Taffeta. Specially adapted for wear with morning and tailor-made costumes. It is of finely checked chiffon taffeta, and is arranged with a chemise and curts of the gulpure, and trimmings of Soutache First Aid Sartorialist. The wedding expert is now in commission.

The blouse worn with this most original dress was made of Cluny inset with guipure and with valenciennes, and there was a folded waistband in a pale shade of rose pink, with the loveliest buckles of tortoise-shell and filigree silver. The rage for the "grey note" is unabated! Pale grey gloves and shoes, paid grey hats trimmed with shaded roses and lined with dull black, pale grey waistcoats for tailor-made gowns. Two important points of the toilette Blouse of White Silk and Chiffon. The white silk and chiffon of the blouse is velled with lace, which makes soft background for bands of delicate green silk, edged with narrow silken braid, and connected just above the waist by other pointed tabs, which give a corset effect. Then below the folded band comes a smart little basque edged with braiding and a killed frill, footrooms of weed, roses, embroidered in pale yellow and pink also entering into the decorative detail. which will certainly remain "pale grey" until winter is with us again are the long suede gloves and the Blouse of White Chiffon. The white chiffon, which is patterned with black velvet spots, is tucked and arranged with scarves of beautiful chine ribbon, broadly bordered with white satin, and also dotted with black velvet, white flat lace embroidered in floss silk, being a third fabric and factor of the chine ribbon and spotted chinne drawn beneath the deep waistband of black silk. floating shoulder-scarfs, the latter frequently inset with fine black Chantilly and embroidered all around the edge with black silk. Some of the loveliest muslin gowns for afternoon wear are made of pure white Indian muslin, embroidered in pale-hued silks and inset with Maltese or Brussels lace. Silk embroideries in pale colors look exceedingly well on fragile muslin, though I much dislike them on linen, but they demand an accompaniment of lace motifs and insertions. All the embroidery designs of the moment are arranged to include inserted motifs of lace, and in some cases these designs are carried to an exaggerated degree of elaboration. When flowers in colored silks are introduced on white muslin dresses the silks are always of the softest and most subtle shades, and I have seen the loveliest effects obtained with embroideries in Japanese style, carried out entirely in two or three shades of the same color. Flowered muslins are also very fashionable for afternoon frocks and a favorite melange is flowered muslin and plain muslin, the latter being in the same shade as the groundwork of the former. It is predicted that we shall see ivory white lace blouses worn with colored linen and tussore skirts, but no one reading this paragraph must run away with the idea that the funny old "blouse-and-skirt" idea is coming in favor again. It is quite possible that white lace blouses will be worn with pale blue linen, or pale peach tussore, skirts in the late summer, but these colored skirts will invariably be inset—in some way—with the same lace as that used for the blouse. It will not be a case of a "blouse-and-skirt," but of a specially designed costume. dence to properly adjust sartorial accessories prior to the processional march.

CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1907. THE BISHOP Of Them All”—Then He Condemns “Jim Crow” Car Laws, Taft Disfranchisement, Lynch Law, Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington’s “Policy of Surrender.” Baltimore, Md.—The best results of the recent annual meeting of the National Afro-American Council held here were President Walters’ annual address to the organization and the latter’s address to the country, one of which we give herewith: Bishop Walters’ address was in part as follows: Dull must be the student of passing events who has not noticed the change in public sentiment for the better as it relates to lynch law. While Lynching has not been banished from the land, which we all greatly regret, still we rejoice that sentiment in the south, as well as the north, is against it. Ten years ago the entire press of the south openly and boldly advocated lynch law; to-day you cannot find but a few prominent papers of the south that would dare to do such a thing. I believe that if we keep up the fight against the nefari- BISHOP WALTERS. ours business we will rid the land of the lynch demon. It will never be done if we fold our arms and sit idly by, but we must be up and at work, and this must be done by agitation, as well as by making better Negro citizens. Just the other day a lynch occurred near Anding, Miss., and another at Gibbs Landing, La; these are evidences that the spirit of lawlessness still stalks abroad. The strong arm of the national government is needed to deal a knockout blow to lynch law. The humiliating "Jim Crow" law is still with us and must be fought to the death. Surely, we are not going to cry peace, peace as long as the separate coaches are in existence. It is a badge of security, a stigma upon the race, a disgrace to our civilization. We must ever fight it. There must not be any let up until the last "Jim Crow" car this organization protests against the "Jim Crow" car. As long as are Negro citizens deprived of the ballot by the unjust enactments there will be a necessity for the Afro-American Council. The ballot is a badge of political power. It is the insignia of the full citizenship of obtaining it should be the ambition of every man, whether he be white or black. Our first duty is to educate the masses to an appreciation of the ballot. This can be done by flooding the country with literature on the subject. There are many other discriminations to be done away with. The pulpit, the schoolroom, the Negro press and other organizations such as these are to do this work. This doctrine is contrary to the nature of things. The worm is on the defensive and will turn when you tread upon it; the hen will protect her brood; the bear and the lioness their cubs. It is only the craven and the cowardly who refuse to make some kind of defense for ourselves when we are imposed on. As purpose the crowd is concerned, we propose to defeat against aggressions and discrimination long as we live, and in doing so we will follow in the wake of the most intelligent, enlightened and aggressive people that the world has seen. Why the American nation itself is a protest against English tyranny. We intend to speak out against our wrongs, no matter who advises to the contrary. Our work is twofold. First is the development of our own citizenship, the fitting of them for citizenship. Secondly, we are to secure from the rulers in the different states all the rights as guaranteed to us by the federal Constitution. The speaker went at length into Brownsville affair, and then praised Senator Foraker for his defense of the colored troops, saying "All honor to Senator Foraker, the noblest Roman of them all." But for GAZETTE. his manly and courageous stand our brave boys might have gone down in shame and disgrace. The Senator will go down in history as one of the nation's greatest benefactors, and will take his place side by side with Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumners who in their day wrought mightily in the interest of the oppressed black man." WOMEN'S FEDERATION. Hallie Q. Brown Elected President a Third Time—Strong Resolutions Adopted—Roosevelt and Taft Toledo. O—The seventh convention of the Ohio Federation of our Women's clubs, held here July 9, 10 and 11, was one of the best and most perfectly planned. The following officers were elected: Haille Q. Brown, president; Mrs. Minerva Taylor, of Cleveland, first vice president; Mrs. Lonesome, second vice president; Mrs. Friend, third vice president; Mrs. Linden, of Springfield, Mrs. Minnie Waters, of Cincinnati, secretary and Mrs. J. Stewart, of Toledo, assistant. The sessions were marked by harmony, and much interesting data was brought out. Among the speakers were: Mrs. Kate B. Sherwood, Mrs. Pauline Steinman, Gen. Young and others. The children's choir sang several beautiful selections, under the direction of Mrs. T. H. Randall. Miss Hallie Brown gave some inimitable recitations. The next session will be held in Cincinnati. Some of the resolutions adopted: Resolved. That the president of the United States acted with unwarranted severity in his treatment of our soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infant, stationed at Brownsville, Tex., and that we deeply deplore the fact that one who has hitherto been our friend has so far departed from his former attitude as to bring down upon his head the well deserved censure of those who would serve for a life. Resolved. That we extend our sympathy to the soldiers summarily "discharged without honor" and without proof of guilt. Resolved. That we commend Senator Joseph B. Foraker for his manly stand taken in congress, in spite of the opposition of his colleagues, in defense of said soldiers. Resolved. That we lend hearty cooperation to all national organizations working for full civil and political rights for the Negro and for the abolition of the "Jim Crow" cars. That we commend the work of the Narrator in this particular and are glad though in the test case which it has brought. It has so far won its case, and note with gladness that it intends to carry it to the highest court in our court. A "TAFT" LIAR A "TAFT" LIAR Misrepresents Afro-Americans of a Community and Surrounding Towns—He is Flagged—Everybody for Foraker. Bellefontaine, O.-Editor, Gazette, Dear SIR: a Reporter of the local daily Index and the Toledo Blade has grossly misrepresented our people of this place by saying that we held a meeting to which delegates were sent from surrounding towns, and refused to endorse Senator J. B. Foraker's splendid efforts in the Brownville affair. No such meeting was held and the reporter's statement that there was, is wholly without foundation. He also stated that the writer said that Mr. Foraker's action was a dead issue. This statement is also a lie. The Helping Hand society of the M.D. of Ohio discussed migration, and there was absolutely no discussion of the Brownville affair. But the lieing Taft papers and reporters were so anxious to stir up a greater interest in our great and good friend Senator Foraker than ever before, that they took just the way to do it—lieing—sending out false reports. Senator Foraker is highly appreciated here, as elsewhere, by our people and a great majority of all the other fair-minded residents of Bellefontaine, and his action in the Brownville affair is thoroughly endorsed. Furthermore we shall hold a meeting this week and adopt resolutions endorsing not only the senator, but also his action in the Brownville matter. Please publish the above so that the M.D. of Ohio can meet the Afro-Americans of this country thoroughly loyal, not only to the race but its great and good friend as well, and that the articles referred to emanating from the pens of local "Taff" lieing reporters, are wholly without foundation and fact. We not only endorse Senator Foraker's action in the Brownville matter and fully appreciate the same, but also thank him with all our hearts for it. We are looking forward to an opportunity to vote for him for president in 1908. Yours for the race. Olean, N. Y., News. Rev. W. F.

"The Voice." The July number of the magazine "The Voice" is filled with good things as usual. There are a number of extremely interesting contributions from leading writers with plenty of excellent portraits and other illustrations. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell's interview with the famous W. T. Stead on the race question, is possibly the leading article. The Voice easily maintains its position as our leading magazine. J. Max Barber, editor, 415 Dearborn street, Chicago, ill. A. E. The above is an excellent portrait of Gilchrist Stewart, a son of T. McCant Stewart, of Liberia, Africa, former leader of the Afro-American bar of New York City, for several years a member of the board of education, of Brooklyn, and for a number of years pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, Manhattan. Young Stewart, after finishing the public schools of New York, was sent to Tuskegee institute where he received a diploma from the academic department and a trade certificate from the dairy division. He perfected himself as a dairyman at the University of Wisconsin and then returned as an instructor to Tuskegee where he founded the dairy department, now one of the most notable of the school. After a year at Tuskegee, he accepted a position in the South Dakota agricultural college, the second Afro-American to teach in a northern state school. Mrs. Nettle inoaster Smith, a former Ohioan, being the first. Afterwards he was chosen by the Canadian government to deliver a series of lectures on dairying. While instructor in South Dakota he became manager of the Burnside Creamery Co. and soon was widely known in the west as an expert creamery man, and in 1899 at a convention in Sloux Falls he was elected vice president of the National Creamery association, which numbers 30,000 members. By nature as well as by inheritance Mr. Stewart gravitated into politics. He was chosen in 1900 to take the stump in the west for the first time in 1904 after a trip to Hawaii he went to the national republican convention in Chicago where he put in some good work for the only plank in the platform touching the Afro-American people. He then went to New York City where he has lived since in the district known as "the black belt." In the fall of 1904 he went as a member to the republican state convention, the only Afro-American delegate there. In the fight to go to the convention he had the united support of our people. The service which has given Mr. Stewart reputation in New York was his activity in the so-called race riots on "San Juan Hill," a couple of years ago. In 1905 Mr. Stewart was elected a member of the republican city convention, and second the nomination of Charles E. Hunge for mayor of Manhattan. He also became a member of publican county committee, in which he has done some good work for the race. In private life Mr. Stewart is in the real estate and bonding business. He is an active member of all movements tending to the support of the race and is one of the officers of the Colored Republican club, a member of the Constitutional league, The Colored Citizens' Protective league, and the National Afro-American council. His most intolerable work of general interest to our people was his visits to Brownville, Tex., and nearby points to secure the soldiers' affidavits declaring their innocence; his efforts to help secure the passage of Senator Foraker's now resolution providing for the investigation into the alleged Brownsville riot, assisting to prepare witnesses, before the senate committee to appear before the senate committee toary affairs during many months of the recent past, and visiting Brownville and that vicinity on one or two occasions in recent weeks, with Attorney N. B. Marshall, of Washington, D. C., to secure additional important testimony for our 167 "discharged without honor" ex-soldiers, former members of Companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, known generally as "The Black Battalion." Mr. Stewart feels confident that the belief in the absolute innocence of these men will be ultimately accepted generally as the great preponderance of testimony taken before the senate committee establishes it beyond all question or doubt. The Taft Boom is on the Wane. Youngstown, O.—The Taft boom is on the wane, and decidedly so." declared H.W. R. Stewart, former state representative from Mahoning county and a member of the central committee of the Ohio Afro-American league. He said: "If Taft is nominated there will be one of the greatest revolts that has ever been known in the history of the party. The republican party will be split in two, and the colored voters will be against him. We are against Taft for his speech in the south when he put himself on record as against the war amendments. It is the first time in the history of the state a civil war that a republican presidential candidate has put himself on record in that way. There have been attempts in the south to deprive us of our rights, but never before have our friends or supposed friends in the north attempted such a thing. We will not permit it without a protest at the polls." 2 THE GAZETTE.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1891 1896 to 1898 1900 to 1892 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. Bishop Alexander Walters is right — "He is the noblest Roman of them all." Senator Foraker! The Gazette enters its twenty-fifth year next month and has been published every week on time ever since its birth, August 25, 1883. How is that for a record? When our women "get after" Roosevelt and Taft for their terrible mistreatment of "The Black Battallion" it is high time for all of our weak-kneed men, if there be any, to sit up and take notice. The Ohio Federation of Afro-American Women's Clubs which convened in Toledo, July 9, 10 and 11, has spoken out very plainly in a set of resolutions, a portion of which will be found elsewhere in this paper. Of course they praised and thanked Senator Foraker for his grand work in and out of congress in behalf of "The Black Battallion" and the race. More than half the twenty clerks allowed the Cleveland postoffice this year are Afro-Americans who won their appointments in civil service examinations. One of them said to a representative of a local daily paper: "Next year will see many more taking the government examination. All other avenues of respectable employment are closed to colored men." This is not only a very unwise statement for publication in daily newspapers, but also untrue—the second sentence. The exercise of a little better judgment in the future, on the part of the clerk referred to, is desirable (to say the least) from a racial viewpoint. The white people are not all they ought to be, and neither are we so perfect that we have nothing to learn. -Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. How True! Both classes or races "live in glass houses" that are sadly in need of repair, and should get busy and keep busy, always helping one another to improve. There should be no time wasted in "making faces" at each other or in promoting friction of any kind. The sooner this fact is generally recognized and preached as it were from the very housesets by all that have the public ear even in part, the better for the American people and all others that come in contact with our people. Such conduct (cutting, shooting, using bad language and fighting) as those Afro-Americans from Pittsburgh who plenied at Silver Lake, a summer resort near this city, were charged with the other day by the local daily press, is just what is causing all kinds of discrimination against our people at such places and others, and too often causes management to close them entirely to our people—the good as well as the bad. However unfair this may seem to be, yet nevertheless we are continually brought face to face with the fact that such unfortunate results are entirely too often brought about by the careless and bad members of the race. We must put forth greater efforts to reduce the number of causes for discrimination arising from our own side, or suffer the consequences with less complaint. These last are increasing entirely too rapidly for the comfort of those who try to live and act right, and deserve the good opinion and encouragement of all upright people without reference to class. According to the police, the bloody fight on board a Euclid avenue car early Monday morning, which resulted in Walter Hemiter (white) having his face laid open by a knife slash, was the result of an Afro-American's using bad language and thus frightening women in the car. Three men (white) very foolishly followed him after he was put off of the car at E 72d street and demanded an apology. His reply to the demand was the knife slashed referred to. Then he ran, pursued by a score of whites. David Jones, a chauffeur, was arrested, charged with the cutting. While it was wrogly for the men to follow the Afro-American after he was put off the car, it was certainly worse for the latter to use bad language on the car. Our people should be particularly careful as to their conduct and language in all public places. Such occurrences as this one are what give rise to mob violence attempts which very frequently result in lynching. We urge our ministers to take up this matter and discuss it thoroughly in the churches. ROOSEVELT "CONSISTANCY." President Roosevelt recently at the request of drunken John L. Sullivan, the ex-champion pugilist who would not fight an Afro-American "pug" and always boasted of it, pardoned the exprize fighter's nephew, who was in prison at hard labor for one year, at Fort Jay. New York harbor, because of desertion, having been dishonorably discharged from the army some three or four months ago. Not satisfied with this, he (Roosevelt) has restored Sullivan's nephew to his place in the army and in so doing has shattered one of the "sacred" traditions of the military service. One of the hitherto unbroken rules of the army, navy and marine corps was that a soldier, sailor or marine who had been dishonorably discharged could not be en-listed in the military service. The general practice in the three arms is that no enlisted man can be re-en-listed unless his previous service has been "honest and faithful." That rule was recently cited as prohibiting the re-en-lishment of any of the 167 soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry who "discharged without honor" on account of the Brownville affair. But Lennon, the nephew and dishonorally discharged soldier in question, is white. The 167 members of Companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, are black. That is the difference and all of the difference, as much as we try to believe otherwise. The fact the "Black Battalion" was not dishonorably discharged only agravates the comparison—makes it worse for Theodore Roosevelt. There is even grave doubt as to the legality of the re-en-lishment of a man who has been dishonorably discharged. Even this fact had no deterent effect upon the president who seemed eager to favor the notorious Sullivan, Dr. Booker T. Washington and the few other black friends of Roosevelt should "get busy" and remind him that he will not have to go near as far to deal out justice to the 167 innocent members of "The Black Batallion," and their race, whom he has branded as midnight assassins and criminals in order to cater to and satisfy the morbid hatred and prejudice go rampant in the south particularly, and thus curry favor, political and otherwise. NO TAFT IN OURS Last fall, a year ago, the writer was a candidate on the republican ticket for a fourth term in the Ohio legislature from this county. With the entire local republican ticket, with one exception, and the republican candidate for governor, Col. Moyon T. Herrick, we were all sent to defeat as the result of a speech delivered at Akron by secretary of war, Wm. H. Taft, and the reform cry of graft, directed by him and other persons against Geo. B. Cox, of Cincinnati. In plain words the effort to eliminate Cox from Ohio politics resulted in the defeat for re-election of Gov. Herrick (who did much to help himself down to defeat, we will admit) and hundreds of local republican candidates throughout the state. Now comes Mr. Cox with a suggestion that this same man, Taft, be endorsed by Ohio republicans for the republican nomination for the presidency next year, that Senator Foraker be endorsed for re-election to the United States senate and that Gov. Harris be nominated in the next republican state convention. His suggestion is alright as far as it has reference to Messrs. Foraker and Harris, but no amount of suggestions from him or any one else will secure for Secretary Taft, the endorsement and support of self and race respecting Afro-Americans, particularly Ohio, and President Brownville Texas Roosevelt and Secretary Disfranchisement Brownsville Taft, as well as Mr. Cox, might just as well know this now as later on. It will be easier to secure the united support of organized labor throughout the country for Taft that it will be to gain the favor for him of loyal Afro-Americans. THE TAFTS. The Taft family has never indicated any good interest in the Afro-American and does not now. Recently it was announced that "The Clansman," Tom Dixon's fire-brand prejudice play, was scheduled to appear at the Grand Opera House, Cincinnati. Charles P. Taft, Secretary Taft's brother, editor and publisher of the Cincinnati Times Star, and manager of his brother's alleged candidacy for the republican nomination for the presidency, owes the Tafts a Whole lot of Afro-Americans of that city called him and asked him not to permit the dirty show to be put on in his theater, he refused to make any effort whatever to comply with their respectful, reasonable and very proper request. The result is "The Clansman" was produced at the Cincinnati Grand Opera House and the minds of many thousands of persons, already too thoroughly saturated with prejudice and hatred of the Afro-American, were poisoned even more against our people, if such a thing be possible. No wonder the Afro-Americans of Ohio spoke out so strongly against the alleged Taft candidacy and even those who are trying to promote it. With Brother Charles aiding and abetting Tom Dixon's dirty business, Mr. Taft managed the play, "The Clansman," and Secretary Taft out-Roosevelt Roosevelt in his effort to fasten the alleged Brownsville, Texas, riot crime upon "The Black Battailon." it is high time for others of our people beside those who live in Ohio to get busy along the same resolution line. notify us at once if your Gazette fails to arrive as regularly and satisfactorily as it should.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1907. CHURCH SUPPORT OF MISSIONS. The duty of properly supporting the local church of which one is a member is not antagonistic to the duty of also properly supporting the missionary and, benevolent work of the church. Both are but parts of the one work, and are necessary to each other. A church should not be characterized by its large gifts to the missionary work of the church and at the same time by chronic neglect of its budget of home expenses. It exerts a bad influence in a community to be prompt in sending large sums of money away and at the same time make the coal man, the sexton, organist and minister wait an undue length of time to work on the missionary work for the trustees to be continually borrowing at the bank or from individuals to meet necessary expenses of the church while the sessions are active in increasing the contributions to our various boards; nor does it speak well for individual members of a church to ignore their obligations to meet promptly a just share of the expenses of the church of which they are members and use all that they have for the service of the Lord in giving to the distinctively missionary work of the church, as if it were not truly God's work to make the local church strong and aggressive in saving the souls of those who live within a stone's throw of the church, as well as those who live at great distances. We repeat, the two are not antagonistic, but should be clearly recognized as parts of one great work. Every one of God's children should recognize the sacredness of the claim of God upon his or her income for the proper support of His work on earth. The sustaining of this work should not be considered an act of charity or one of light obligation to be met after every demand of luxury has been supplied, but one of vital necessity to one's own personal welfare as well as that of one's home, one's country and the world. The proper sustaining of God's work in the world should be placed among the necessary expenses of one's life in connection with food, clothing and shelter. A certain amount should be set aside weekly for God's work. How this portion thus set aside shall be divided, must rest with every individual to determine. But the time should quickly come when the local church in meeting its annual expenses should be placed on a strong business footing, and when the treasurer of the church shall always be able promptly to meet the obligations it has assumed. It is ruinous to the cause of Christ in any community for the church of Christ to have the reputation of slow pay, and no amount of giving to the missionary work of the church will atone for this home neglect or sweeten the unsavory reputation of slow pay of home expenses. The time should quickly come when every church and every member of every church will promptly meet his or her just share of the obligations assumed by the church in bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the neglected portions of the earth. The local trustees of the church should not be in debt for local expenses. Our missionary boards, our representatives, should not be in debt. The church in the eyes of the community at home. The other dishonors the church in the eyes of the world at large. The only remedy for the existing evil is the systematic and proportionate giving of the Lord's people with the clear recognition of the oneness of the work of local self-support with that of benevolent efforts outside. God will help all who trust and obey. A MEMBER OF ST. JAMES. Shot and Killed! Smithfield, O.—The A. M. E. church lawn fete Saturday night was a success.

Can't Line Up Mississippi. `With all due respect to Prot. Washington as an educator, we will say most emphatically that he cannot line up Mississippi republicans for any candidate for president. It behoves him to "play his own back vard." Let down his bucket where he is or lives and that is in Alabama." The officeholders in Mississippi will not be able to control the republican conventions of this state because almost all of them are weak-kneed democrats. As matters now stand the republicans of Mississippi are almost solid for Hon. J. B. Foraker for president with Fairbanks as a second choice.-Vicksburg (Miss.) Light. A Terrible Mistake Montgomery, Ala.—Because of the carelessness of the clerk in writing out the commitment, Rhena Rivers, an Afro-American, served almost 20 years in the penitentiary, instead of 20 months. She died of typhoid fever. The mistake has just been discovered, but too late. While in prison a child was born. The poor girl's mother is asking the legislature to make amends and it is expected to do so. This whole occurrence is horrible Characteristic, however, of the south OF RACE INTEREST. Hiram S. Thomas, who originated the ever popular Saratoga Chips, died at his home near Red Bank, N. J., recently aged 70 years. Wayne Manzanilla, only Afro-American alumnus of Mt. Union college, Salem, O. is a victim of a shooting affray at Langston, Okla., where he was instructor of mathematics in a college. Let Mr. Taft go into strong protective tariff communities and call the attention of the people to his weed question. Then he might go into tariff question, manufacturing districts and boast of his decision, while a judge on the federal bench, enjoining a labor strike—New York Press. We feel safe in saying that the colored people of this country north and south are not ready to submit to the disgrace of their soldiery and the denominating of the innocent members of the Twenty-fifth infantry as murders and assassins without an organized protest. They will oppose the president, Secretary Taft, in fact anybody this side of God Almighty who advocates such a policy.—Richmond (Va.) Planet. It is by reason of being deprived of the ballot that the Negro is so grossly discriminated against upon the common carriers of the south. The railroads are not to be blamed for the deplorable conditions, but the men who enacted the laws. First they deprived the Negro of means of redress by taking from him the right of suffrage and all else was easy. It is patent even to the causal observer that present conditions will obtain so long as the Negro's political status at the south is one of taxation without representation, so long as he counts only in congressional appoinments.—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. It is time to speak out and let the country know that the president is not so entrenched in the hearts of Alabama republicans as is imagined. He has sought to curry favor with the Bourbon oligarchy rather than the men of the south who have been counted out and defrauded and bully ragged by the very element having the ear of the president. It is a shame that it is so difficult for the president to understand that there is a suppressed white south and that there are thousands of white Alabamaans out of accord with the Bourbon regime. It is these men he would have sought to turn to the party and they would have been had the president been able to observe that there is more to the cause in Alabama than Tuskegee institute. —Alexander City (Ala.) Southern American. Insofar as the intentions of the president touch the senator from Ohio, we have this to say, no man can defeat Senator Foraker in the hearts of the American Negro, nor in their support. All over this land of ours they have sworn and organized to stand with him until the last tap of the drum, and they mean it. mean it way down in their innermost soul. Neither political preferment nor money can move them from this position. So determined are they on either voting for Foraker or bolting their party, that they despise in their hearts the Negro that would whisper against him. They have sworn in another direction: Secretary Taft must be taught his lesson; rather, he must shoulder the lessons too long adjourned. The Negroes are immovable in these presentments.

Murray Crane, millionaire paper manufacturer and junior senator from Massachusetts, has declared open defiance of President Roosevelt and Senator Lodge, and refused to support the presidential boom of Secretary Taft. What has angered the junior senator is what he views as a determination to drive Senator Fcraker out of public life. Senator Crane's wife is a Cleveland lady. 'MUSHMOUTH'S' SISTER A Society Belle, and Leader Among the Belles, Brilliant Scholar, Also, —Brilliant Scholar, Also, Chicago, Ill.—It has finally leaked out that for five years Cecilia, sister of "Mushmouth" Johnson, this city's notorious Negro gambling king and saloonkeeper, has been a society belle at the University of Chicago, and during that time mingled with the most exclusive society of this place. The Johnson family residence at 5820 Wabash avenue is a large two-story brick dwelling fitted with luxurious furnishings, including wonderful mirrors, old chairs and valuable paintings by old masters, which are protected by low front windows, barred, and back windows and doors guarded by immense from shutters and padlocks. The house also contains costly decorations and old plate. Miss Johnson is petite in stature with a wealth of straight and long raven hair and shining black eyes, and a complex which is the rich rose of the brunette, took her bachelor degree from the university with high rank. She has and has received many scholarships and much praise from her instructors, for her exceptional scholarly ability. During her second year in the university she was elected president of Englewood House, one of the exclusive girl's clubs, and from an obscure freshman girl to the leadership of the Midway sets she became one of the most prominent members of the Pi Delta Phi Sorority, the exclusive girls' society. For years she has been a belle at the "proms" and dances of the college. Sunday evening she was hostess of an exceptionally swell social function. Her success has simply been amazing, and stamps her as an exceptionally remarkable young woman, without reference to race, class or color. A DIRTY "TACK."

When a member of the race living in the Twelfth ward refuses to support an Afro-American candidate for the council and yelps for a white man who has no claim whatever upon us but is indebted to us for past favors, what is the matter, or rather what is the "inhoonce" being exerted upon the aforementioned "Afro?"

For the past several months there seems to have been an epidemic of rape perpetrated by white men of this vicinity. Time and again the newspapers chronicle assaults of this kind upon women by white men, and the worst of it is that few of them meet with the punishment they deserve. It does seem to us that it is about time that the authorities should take a hand and by the severest kind of punishment, if possible, put a stop to it. Most of these outrages are committed on children. In several instances the victims have been Afro-Americans. The case against Clerk McCarthy of Knopf's drug store. Central avenue between E. 31st and E. 32nd streets, for alleged criminal assault (rape) upon a 12-year-old girl of the race, was continued from July 18 to Aug. 7. Our people should pack the court room on that day. We understand that McCarthy was admitted to merely nominal ball, and his case eight to be watched carefully. Several of our churches raised funds and employed Attorney Alexander Carthier to help the prosecution of McCarthy, while the girl's mother is said to have retained Attorney John P. Green.

J. S. Jackson officiating. Interment in Woodland cemetery. W. W. Gee, funeral director. Mr. and Mrs. Queen, as well as the rest of their relatives, have the sincerest sympathy of a host of friends here and abroad. Mrs. Milton was born in Raleigh, N.C., and came to Ohio when a child, residing in Columbus for some time. She then came to Cleveland where she lived about 45 years. Mr. and Mrs. Queen and family hereby return thanks to all those who were so kind during their recent bereavement. Also for the many floral offerings. The Swaine Antidote Sanitarium assisted the court the first of the week for an injunction to prevent the use of Green's Cedar avenue skating rink and dance hall, on the ground that too much noise is made by a brass band and by shouting inside and outside on the sidewalk. The same being kept up until 3 o'clock in the morning and thus seriously disturbing hospital patients. The hall was formerly the old Cedar Avenue Disciple church, of which Rev. Harris R. Cooley, director of public service, was pastor for ten years. The board of public service granted a permit for its transformation into a rink against the adverse report of the police lieutenant of the precinct and protest of hospital authorities. The case was to have been heard on Thursday of this week. Last Sunday night near the corner of Central avenue and E. 30th street, while attempting to arrest a young man for loitering, the police were set upon by a few friends of the young man. They hooted, jeered and threw things at the officers, one of whom drew his revolver and shot into the air causing all sorts of stories to arise, among them being one of a plot which did not take place. The young man broke away from the officer, who theraupon arrested one or two other persons who were standing on Central avenue, near E. 30th street. On Monday night a couple of more arrests were made on the same charge. It is said that complaints were 'phoned to the Third precinct by Joe Goodman from the corner of Central and E. 30th street, where he conducts a store. The rowdies who congregate in that vicinity ought to be as well as in which nightly congreses in front of the Theatrorium diagonally across the street from Goodman's place. And yet Goodman ought to be the last man to so complain against his patrons, if it is true that he has done so. Just why our people continue to patronize him and Knopf's drug store in the face of the McCarthy incident is something we cannot understand. Wors Race Treason. We last week, exposed race treason, calling it No. 1. This week we call attention to the worst race treason known in the history of our race, in slavery or in freedom and Booker T. Washington is the traitor. All we shall do is to quote what President Roosevelt's own paper says in a report sent out by the president as to why he has not before this been willing to let up at all on our colored soldiers. "There are intimations that the president has been advised by his cordial friend, Booker T. Washington, that this "race" resentment did not extend beyond the Negro politician and would soon blow over." Think of it. This colored man gets the president's ear as no colored man has ever had it and perous him against our poor, outraged colored soldier, justice! Was there ever blacker treachery and race treason than this? We do not believe so. This man the race should repudiate once for all. He ——— The Boston Guardian. P. H. H. THOS.

For further information We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours With TRADE MARK (Registered) KINK·NE Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Hink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 20 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." SPECIAL OFFER—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full-six bottle of Kink-ine, price 35 cents, one cake of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 2 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

Sargent, the United States commissioner of immigration, said one day in Washington: "There is fine stuff in some of these poor people who come to uor shores. I heard recently of a young Swedish woman. Brave, witty and honorable, she could bring splendid young Americans into the world. A short time after she arrived among us, her husband got out of work. Naturally, then, the rant fell behind. The landlord called for it one day in her husband's absence. He listened to the young woman's tale of misfortune, regarding the while her yellow hair, her clear blue eyes, her red mouth and white teeth. Suddenly, bending toward her, he said: Give us a kiss! "She drew back, and her blue eyes, as cold as ice, dwelt on him disdainfully. "No," she said, 'my husband and I may be too poor to pay our rent, but we are not so poor that we can't do our own kissing." Her Pointed Retort When the old lady put her head out of the window and inquired of the young railway porter what the train was stopping for the young man thought he would have a little fun at the old lady's expense. "Engine was out late last night, ma'am," he remarked with a smile, "so she's got a thirst on her this morning; they're giving 'er a drop o' wine." "Ah! it's water," said the old lady. "If you'll wait a minute, ma'am," he grinned. "Till inquire, whether they're given' her port wine." "Never mind," came the answer, "don't you trouble, young man.

Do your little growing folks wake up in the night with cramp in their toes or legs? If so, tell them to slide down to the foot of the bed and press their toes hard against the footboard. This seldom fails to bring relief. Even the tiniest tot can do this for herself when she wakes up in alarm at the big nain in her leg. Should this fail, and sometimes when the cramp is up by the knee, it is not efficient, tell the sufferer to press the sole of her cramped foot against the instep of the other. Press good and hard, and the pressure, together with the warmth and electricity drawn from the well foot, will certainly bring relief when the case is very stubborn. To treat the "knotty," stubborn kind of cramp, which sometimes selzes the little folks when they are nervous, or if they have eaten something which does not agree with them, to tie a broad band (father's handkerchief, folded, will answer). tightly above the cramped part. Rubbing, unless one knows just how to manipulate the muscle, often does more harm than good. The doctors tell us that cramp of this kind is as much a nervous as a muscular trouble. If your children suffer frequently with it, a good warm bath with an alcohol rub at night is a good preventive. B. N. LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY. The New York Life's Business Nearly Up to the Legal Limit. The New York Life Insurance Company announces that its new paid business during the half year just ended was over seventy million dollars. As the new law allows no life company to write over one hundred and fifty millions per year, it would appear that this company is working nearly up to the limit. The New York Life gained such headway before the law was passed and suffered so little, comparatively, from the Armstrong investigation, that the question with its management has been how to keep business down to the limit, rather than how to reach it. No other company is writing nearly as much as the law allows. The New York Life has evidently become a preferred company. The company's payments to policy holders during the six months ending June 30 were $21,600,761. It is interesting to note that this amount was almost equally divided between payments under policies maturing by death and payments made to living policy holders. Thus, while death-alcals were $11,180,626, the amount paid for matured endowments, annuities, trust fund installments, for purchased policies and for dividends was $10,480,135. Modern life insurance, as practiced by the best companies, embraces a wide field, and covers many contingencies. It is money saved for the aged, as well as money provided for the families of those who die prematurely. Bobby's Viewpoint. The theater was brilliant with colored lights and overflowing with a gay commencement throng. The stage was crowded with a class of 200 boys and their teachers. Among the graduates was John, the big brother of little Bobby, who was surveying the scene with bulging eyes. He snuggled up to his father and in a stage whisper asked: "Papa, isn't it nice that so many people came to John's commencement?" A Trouble Maker Towne—The other day I helped your friend Dubley to select a beautiful etching— Browne—Don't mention Dubley to me; he's no friend of mine. Towne—Why, he told me he was going to send the etching as a present to you— Browne—So he did and my wife made me rearrange all the other pictures in the parlor to make room for it and I'm not done yet. Not Comfortable "I'm going off into the mountains this summer and get close to the heart of nature," said the dreamy girl. "I once went off into the mountains to get close to the heart of nature," said the matter-of-fact man. "I sought the woods and lay down close to her throbbing bosom. But I found she was full of red bugs and other penetrating insects. So I arose and gloomily sought the artificial city." MEAT OR CEREALS. A Question of Interest to All Careful Persons. Arguments on food are interesting. Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet on the ground that they do not like to feel that life has been taken to feed them, nor do they fancy the thought of eating dead meat. On the other hand, too great consumption of partly cooked, starchy oats and wheat or white bread, pastry, etc., produces serious bowel troubles, because the bowel digestive organs (where starch is digested), are overtaxed and the food ferments, producing gas, and microbes generate in the decayed food, frequently bringing on peritonitis and appendicitis. Starchy food is absolutely essential to the human body. Its best form is shown in the food "Grape-Nuts," where the starch is changed into a form of sugar during the process of its manufacture. In this way, the required food is presented to the system in a pre-digested form and is immediately made into blood and tissue, without taxing the digestive organs. A remarkable result in nourishment is obtained; the person using Grape-Nuts gains quickly in physical and mental strength. Why in mental? Because the food contains delicate particles of Phosphate of Potash obtained from the grains, and this unites with the albumen of all food and the combination is what nature uses to re-build worn out cells in the brain. This is a scientific fact that can be easily proven by ten day's use of Grape-Nuts. "There's a Reason." Read, "The Road to Wellville," in pkrs. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1907.

Reports from Zavidovic, Austria, state that a village near the River Krivag, consisting of 30 houses, began to sink quite suddenly one morning recently. By degrees the whole hill on which the village stood disappeared under the ground. At the first signs of the sinking the inhabitants fled. The catastrophe is no doubt due to volcanic action. Concrete Houses. It is possible to build a house today, and such houses have already been constructed, which shall be entirely of reinforced concrete, except for such minor items as doors and window frames. This, says the Cement Age, makes a house which is entirely unburnable from within and practically unburnable from without. Smallness of an Atom. "Raise a drop of water to the size of the earth and raise an atom in the same proportion, and the atom will then be in some place between the size of a marble and a cricket ball." Thus said Lord Kelvin, in trying to explain to the inerudite world how little are the things atomic. CROP CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CANADA Lateness of Spring Overcome by Ex cellent Growing Summer Season. Once more the farmers of Western Canada rest at ease and grow rich while they slumber. Their season of anxiety is over. For a time it looked as though a backward season was for once going to prevent the western country from maintaining its preeminent position as leader of the grain growing countries of the world. The unusual lateness of the spring coupled with the rapid advance in the price of food-stuffs gave the pessimists some reason for their gloomy foreboding, and among even the optimistic Westerners imbued as they usually are with a spirit of buoyancy and hope, there commenced to glimmer a fear that perhaps this year their sanguine expectations were not to be realized. On May day when a large proportion of wheat had usually been sown there was this year very little seeding done. Finally, however, winter which had harried so late in the lap of spring in all parts of the Continent vanished before the vertical rays of the sun, and the hurry and bustle of spring work commenced on the western prairies. By the 20th of May 85% of the spring wheat was sown and the fall wheat in the districts devoted to its cultivation was covering the fields with a mandle of green. Wheat sowing finished on May 30 and by June 10 the coarser grains were also in the ground. The heavy snowfall during the winter left the ground in excellent shape when once seeding operations commenced and from the time weather conditions permitted the commencement of work until planting was completed, the farmers were a busy class. The area in wheat is not much larger than last year, but oats, barley and flax are much in excess of past records, the farmers seeming it wiser on account of the lateness of the season to put in a heavier proportion of the coarser grains. From the most reliable reports to hand it appears that the acreage as compared with 1906 will show an increase of 12% in oats, 19% in barley and 13% in flax. Around Akotoks, High River, Nanton, Claremont and other winter wheat centers, if the present weather conditions continue, the winter wheat will be in head by the middle of July. The backward weather in the early part of May allowed the newly sown grain to get a firm root in the ground, and now with an abundance of moisture and warm weather the growth is remarkable. All danger of injury from droughts is practically over as the green crop covers the ground retaining the moisture required for its growth and preventing the too rapid evaporation which might otherwise take place. Crops in Western Canada mature in one hundred days of good weather, and as the weather conditions have been ideal since seeding, and with spring wheat now from 14 to 18 inches above the ground, a full average crop is confidently expected. In addition to the cheering prospects of this year's yield the farmers are to be congratulated on the fact that they still have in their possession five million bushels of wheat from last year's crop which they are now disposing of at high prices. The splendid yield of 90,000,000 bushels of wheat raised in 1996 in the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, together with the almost certain assurance that this year will see a considerable increase, is, as in the past, calling the attention of the world of the "Last Best West," and thousands from the United States and the agricultural districts of Europe are each month securing free grant lands or purchasing farms in the land which has proved itself peerless among the grain growing countries of the world. Courage. Three tired citizens—a lawyer, a doctor and a newspaper man—sat in a back room recently in the gray light of the early dawn. On the table were many empty bottles and a couple of packs of cards. As they sat in silence a rat scurried across the heart into the darkness beyond. After a long pause the lawyer spoke: "I know what you fellows are thinking," he said; "you think I thought I saw a rat, but I didn't." People Tell Each Other About Good Things.

Pretty Legend Current Among North American Indians. The North American Indians of the western coast have a tradition that roses were created without thorns. So tall and fair they grew that all creatures were attracted by their beauty and grace. Animals that browse upon grass and green herbage soon discover the tender sweetness of the roses' abundant foliage, and then every rose tree holding its flowers aloft but attracted attention and drew destruction to itself. Every part of the earth had been given its glory of roses, but in every place there were animals which sought the bushes to devour them, and and tribes of roses were in danger of becoming extinct. In their extremity they held a council, for in that faraway morning of the world plants as well as animals had power to speak. To the council all the roses came, and each had a tale to tell of suffering and disaster. At length it was decided to send for help to the godman of the tribes—the Hiawatha of the west. Delegates were chosen from among those who were malmed and torn and had suffered most. Others also were sent who were tall and fair and graceful. Wisely this council discerned that should justice be denied the tribes, beauty might prevail in their cause. The conference was long and grave. At its close an army of thorns was given to every rose, and thus were the tribes of roses delivered from the enemies—Circle Magazine. AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA Covered with Yellow Sores—Grew Worse—Parents Discouraged—Cuticura Drove Sores Away. "Our little girl, one year and a half old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor called it. We took her to three doctors but by this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Doctor No. 3 said that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eyesight was gone. We were nearly discouraged, but I thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me $1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improvement, and in one week all sores had disappeared. Of course it could not restore the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that it would have saved the eye. Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. 9. Fulham, Oswego Co., N. Y.

My announcements appear in the newspapers exclusively. I have learned that those who don't read the papers don't go to the theater." "You are wise," said the soap millionaire. "And I do like you. Long since I discarded every form of advertisement save that of the press, finding that they didn't read a daily paper had no use for soap." Very Handy "Among the people who greeted the President upon his arrival at Oyster Bay," says an exchange, "none attracted so much attention as a woman who carried two children in her arms and led another by the hand:" It strikes us that a capable woman like that would attract attention anywhere. —Washington Post.

MISS HULDA KUGHLER MISS ELIZABETH WYNN There is a beauty and attractive-ness in health which is far greater than mere regularity of feature. Miss Hulda Kughler, of No. 25, West 15th Street, New York City, writes: A sickly, irritable, and complaining woman always carries a cloud of depression with her; she is not only unhappy herself but is a damper to all joy and happiness when with her family and friends. It is the bright, healthy, vivacious woman who always charms and carries sunshine wherever she goes. If a woman finds that her energies are flagging and that everything tires her; if her feminine system fails to perform its allotted duties, there is nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness, backache, headache, bearing-down pains, and irregularities, causing constant misery and melancholia, she should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs will cure these diseases. It correcting the cause of the trouble it cures where other treatment may have failed. Miss Elizabeth Wynn, of No. 205 8th Avenue, New York City, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "For months I suffered with dreadful headaches, pain in the back and severe hemorrhages. I was weak and out of sorts all the time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound helped me when all other medicine failed. I unpealed and quickly restored my health." Europe's Extinct Aurochs. Professor A. Martens of Magdeburg has reviewed all the early literature and documents relating to the famous wild ox of Europe, the aurochs, or orus, and shows that it was not identity, "$5,000 won't pay for the build-animal also lived in Europe in the time of the aurochs. It is on record that a herd of thirty aurochs were living in Poland in 1564. In 1627 a few half-domesticated aurochs were still in existence, but the race has since become extinct. The typical color of the aurochs was black, but there was a gray variety in Poland and a red one in Germany. Modesty of True Greatness Abou Ben Adhem had just found out that his name led all the rest. "Still," he observed, with a modesty as rare as it was charming, "the season is young yet. I made a few lucky hits, it's true, but just as likely as not I shall be at the bottom of the percentage column in batting before the season ends." Smilingly accepting the bouquet of cut flowers sent to him by an admirer in the grandstand, he steeped up to the plate, struck out, dodged a lemon thrown at him by a disgusted bleacherite, and went and took his seat on the bench.

I suffered terrible agony, was nervous, irritable, and sick in the mind, but my medicines without the benefit. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended and within six months I was completely restored to health and I want to recommend it to every suffering woman."
