THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 9. WHAT WELL-DRESSED WOMEN EAR THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY The American woman fortunately is independent enough to choose her costumes for constant wear with a thought for comfort, and any fashion which does not so contribute to her happiness has small chance of success. By costumes for constant wear, day fowls and walking and carriage costume are referred to. Evening gowns are a different matter, for appearance rather than comfort is sought in such robes, and what is comfort compared with a striking toilete that need be endured for a few hours only at a time. There will, of course, be many short coats, even Etons, shown in winter costumes, and the pony cut, so effective on certain figures in the coat, not the so-called jacket model, will be seen in winter walking and carriage costumes, but the long coats will be the favored model. Last winter a few French models showed long coats and this winter the fashion will be general. At thing else will take their place in the wardrobes of the modish wall. Many of the plum shades are well suited to the average complexion among the younger and the older women. There is no more becoming color women of clear complexions than purple, and certainly no color which, combination with either white, black, gives such distinguished effect. There are two distinct shades of purple which are equally fashionable the season—the pure evque and the shade which combines evque and prun. The former is the more generally being, but, for those who can successfully wear it, the latter is the more attractive. The charm of a purple filet net veil—the large veil which has a folded edge of tulle and above this a narrow design carried out in chenil peas needs no emphasis. With pure white costumes, veils of this genre look ennely distinguished, especially when A the present moment the three-quarter coats promise to be the most worm. The coat coming to within six inches of the edge of the skirt makes a most comfortable walking costume, and for carriage wear a trailing gown with a very long coat elaborately trimmed is always effective. Velvet and lace coats with fine cloth gowns are charming for carriage wear when one is going to a reception or a bridge party. In sleeves the wrinkled mousquette will be much in evidence, for a time at least, on new gowns, and the coats for cold weather will have full-length sleeves, and these will find favor, as they are sensible and the only comfortable mode when biting winds rage. No matter what the size of one's muff, there is more or less exposure of the wrists and consequent chill with the three-quarter or half-length sleeve. For warm weather they are ideal, cool, and also pretty, so they will probably come in again for next spring and summer. The new plum and purple shades are to be the leading colors for some weeks to come, but it will not be long before they will be common, and some- In Union There Is Strength. thing else will take their place in the wardrobes of the modish world. Many of the plum shades are well suited to the average complexion among both the younger and the older women. There is no more becoming color to women of clear complexions than purple, and certainly no color which, in combination with either white or black, gives such distinguished effects. There are two distinct shades of purple which are equally fashionable this season—the pure eveque and the shade which combines eveque and prune.

The charm of a purple filet net veil—the large veil which has a folded edge of tulle and above this a narrow design carried out in chenil peas—needs no emphasis. With pure white costumes, veils of this genre look eminently distinguished, especially when they are worn with clohe hats carried out entirely in the same shade of purple. Browns will be worn in all shades, but it is to be hoped that better taste will be shown in the future than in the past in adopting the various shades, for no color is more trying when it is not carefully selected to harmonize with one's coloring. The dominant shade of the hair should be matched; it may be in a lighter hue, but reddish brown should be worn with golden or wood-brown hair. The yellowish browns for golden brown hair, clear, dull wood browns for lifeless brown hair, and so on through the list, should be the rule. Becoming as the long skirt is, it will never gain the sway here that it had abroad. American women are too active, too various in their pursuits, to adopt long sweeping skirts for day wear, save for reception and other formal robes. For them the round skirt just clearing the floor is the best model of all. It is formal enough for a handsome reception gown and informal enough for a walking costume that may be worn on the same afternoon to shop in and to attend afternoon teas. Young women prefer them. They do not require holding up unless one finds the pavement suddenly mussy or one has to cross a street, or a puddle. The skirt that sweeps must always be held up save indoors, and even then if one chance to enter a store, unless one cares little for neatness. It is not so many years ago that even the woman with but one new gown a season had all her costumes made with skirts that trailed in the back at least, and that had to be held up nearly everywhere she went, simply because women of wealth who traveled in their own private equipages only wore skirts of that length. Short skirts, and decidedly short ones at that, are the only proper length for winter walking gowns, that is for gowns intended for street wear exclusively, and one may call on one's friends, when one is walking as well as when one is driving. No matter what the latest Parisian decree may be anent the length of skirts, the American woman will not give up her short walking skirt. While long sleeves will be the proper length for day wear in both gowns, blouses and coats the coming winter, most of the theater blouses have elbow length sleeves. However, the woman with thin or ugly arms should adopt the long sleeve as soon and as completely as possible. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1907.

ZION SPEAKS OUT In Warmest Praise of Our Great and Good Friend for His Grand Ef- forts in the Brownsville Co. oversay. Special to The Gazette. Pittsburg, Pa.—The Allegheny-Ohio annual conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, including parts of Pennsylvania and Ohio, with fraternal delegates from many other states, in session last week at John Wesley church, had three of them executive busy sessions. Bishop J. S. Caldwell presided, assisted by Bishop SGeo. W. Clinton. There were about 200 ministerial and lay delegates. The reports of the presiding elders showed the work to be in good shape. The pastor's reports, supplemented by that of the delegates, were equally encouraging. Bishop Caldwell in his exceptionally able affessure among other things said Dr. J. E. Mason, financial agent of Livingstone college, had re-mailed a check for $4,000 recently, making a total of $15,000 for education in a few months; that Dr. S. G. Atkins has reported over $11,000, making a grand total of $26,000; for the whole year from all sources over $100,000 has been raised for the support of the ten connectional schools of high grade supported by Zion connection. Senator Foraker Given an Ovation. Speaking of politics, he said in part: "I quite agree with those who take the position that the church is not a political institution, but I am at variance with those who hold that men who have consecrated themselves to the church have no political power without unfitting themselves to officers of the Word. Our people need guidance in things political as well as things spiritual. Our political rights are being abridged and in many instances being taken from our outright. The work of disfranchising has gone steadily on until Georgia, the latest of southern states to disfranchise her colored citizens, enrolled herself among the others. What will the south do next? is the question that all we are 'dismissed' from home on Brownville, Texas, have prepared ourselves not guilty of the charges alleged. The president of the United States stands convicted of an action entirely too hastily taken. The Hon. J. B. Foraker must ever have our gratitude for extracting from the president the confession that he was misinformed by the representatives of the government on the ground." This evoked prolonged applause resulting in a great ovation to Senator Foraker, Rev. G. W. Lewis, P. E., of the Ohio district, in a speech to Senator Foraker and declared for him president. This brought out another storm of applause, which showed that the conference is strongly for Foraker. Both the address and the report were unanimously adopted amid great applause.

Gilmere, D.D.; Rev. H. Tolbert and Rev. D. W. Butler. They were elected on the first ballot. The health of the Rt. Rev. W. B. Dudley, D., presiding school of the third Episcopal church greatly improved and he will sail for South Africa in October on a special Episcopal business trip to the missionary field of that continent. Oberlin, O.-C. B. Marsh, editor of the Oberlin News, a rabid anti-Foraker paper, and also a member of the Lorain county executive committee, which recently passed a Taft endorsement resolution, began his campaign for representative in the legislature by trying to control the Oberlin county executive office offices. In all three cases where he had his especially picked candidates and where he sought to defeat opposition candidates, he was decisively beaten, notwithstanding he succeeded in combining every dissatisfied element in the town, and tried to gain prestige from the arrest of a demolitioner of the town's selling cider. The arrest was planned days before the primary with the sole purpose of gaining the votes of the Anti-saloon league and Temperance alliance, and injecting such a question into a campaign where every candidate of every faction was a strict temperance man if not a total abstainer. He was not a temperance being anxious to stir up sentiment, and was sworn to by one of his candidates who was the worst beaten man Oberlin ever knew. His strength represents Marsh's strength as a candidate for Columbus to vote against Senator Foraker. It was 78 in one ward and 64 in another, and against 417 for his lowest successful opponent, the other two being much greater. In Elyria, where A. L. Garford, state committeeman from the 14th district, lives, is owner of a daily paper and president of the Garford Automobile Co. Mr. Garford's ticket was so badly beaten by the ticket backed by Judge Lorenius, the Foraker leader of Lorain county, that the Garford's pastor wailed over it from his pulpit last Sunday. In Wellington Mayor E. C. Bronson, county chairman and the only candidate for county treasurer, allowed Garford and Marsh to beguile him into calling a meeting of the committee to endorse him, which one member says was done without his knowledge. He says: "With locked doors, Garford pounded the table, pulled his hair and yelled about 'one-man power' until all was excitement and confusion; then read something and adjourned." He did not know what was done until he saw the paper next day. Now Bronson himself with opposition for treasurer Thus in every place in the county where a chance has been offered, the fellows denouncing Foraker and endorsing Taft for president have been repudiated by a vote of the rank and file. And thus it has been and thus will be the county republicans love and admire Foraker as a governor and as a U. S. senator, and if the party does not soon decide to take the advice of Governor Harris and send him back to the senate unanimously, and Lorain county's grand old man (Hon. E. G. Johnson) has to take up the battle for his tried and faithful friend, Lorain county will send to Columbus a friend of Foraker with such a vote as to admit of no doubt that he will be the blot from her escucchion put there by being misrepresented by committees she once trusted. FORRAKER WHICH? OR BURTON DESPISES INGRATES And Cowards, and Has "Enlisted for the War" in Senator Foraker's Interests. Chillicothe, Sept. 25, 1907. Hon. H. C. Smith—Dear Shr: I do not recall any matter in previous letters of especial importance that would be worthy of publication. Yet, if anything contained therein will be of any service to our cause, you are at liberty to use the same. I have enlisted for the war, and am not ashamed of our standard bearer—Senator Robert D. Dugard, who cowardly to stand openly for his convictions. Our friend (?) Burton must be in very serious straits when forced to appeal to the president and members of his cabinet for aid in a simple local election. I am at a loss to account for his having left out those other great (?) men, Harry Dougherty and Al. Douglass. They are both elegant bluffers and very windy. The republicans here have not yet secured "teddy's" consent to run a candidate for mayor and for this reason have not been allowed to vote. Should the nominee be a Taft fellow, I predict his defeat. I sincerely trust that about 26,000 majority of your good citizens will indorse Candidate Burton "less cordially" for mayor than Johnson. We want Burton finished now and Dougherty and Douglass can be attended to a little later on. When Senator Foraker has finished drawing the fire of the enemy in this, the preliminary battle, there will remain no foundation on which he can build an argument for the campaign. He will be ready been driven out of the country and others will follow in time. I am always glad to hear from you. I remain your friend. SENATOR FORAKER Is Likened to Lincoln, Lovejoy, Sumner and B. D. Berrick Lima, O.—Bishop Wm. B. Derrick, of New York, addressing the 26th annual North Ohio conference of the A. M. E. church on the 12th, eulogized Senator J. B. Foraker and denounced as vultures Senator Benjamin Tillman, Governor Vardaman and Former Secretary Hoke Smith. He said: "We are all in the community are not dead, and in Ohio, so famous for the production of men who in the past have favored justice, there live those who will never allow the country's flag to trail in the dust, or the principles for which it waves go unheeded. Men like Lincoln, Lovejoy, Sumner and Garrison have their complement today in Senator Joseph B. Foraker, while there are three vultures in the Senate, all of which their wings are being clipped. I refer Benjamin Tillman, of South Carolina; Governor Vardaman, of Mississippi; and Hoke Smith, of Georgia. The Negro is asking no special favors, neither is he asking for sympathy. He is only asking for opportunity and a man's chance in the race of life." When Senator Foraker's name was mentioned the big church rang with cheers. A resolution was passed in August 1874 that Ashua H. Jones, president of Wilberforce University, be the choice of Ohio to be elevated to the bishopic. The list of appointments of ministers, etc., is published elsewhere in this paper. Vaugh-Gooper Marriage Wheeling, W.

The Rosewell administration is in the fight for Burton and against Poraker tooth and toenail. The political undertaking Mr. Roosevelt has in hand is one of far-reaching consequences. Mr. Burton's candidacy is only incidental.-Er. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to the Gazette.) Washington, D. C. The candidacy of Representative Burton does not only relate to the elimination of Senator Foraker, but also to Senator Dick, his stamina and loyal friend, and who also, for his loyalty, deserves the unanimous support of the colored men of Ohio. Does anyone believe that a municipal affair would attract the attention and support of President Roosevelt, and Taft, a candidate for the presidency, to one of the candidates, if something greater than the small office of mayor of Cleveland was not at stake? The people of the great city of Cleveland will not tolerate the interference of the national administration in its affairs, but, on the contrary, will bury its candidate into the oblivion he deserves for his attempt to rob Ohio and the United States of their greatest national character. Senator Foraker. There is one thing that, Mr. Burton, Mr. Worthy, Mr. it is alleged, was disbarred from practicing before the pension office at Washington for withholding the pension belonging to the veteran's widow, and the president should ponder over seriously before they should undertake to do the veteran's widow, and that is the result. They cannot defeat him, out the aid of democratic votes. What are they going to offer in exchange for these votes? Are they willing to discontinue republican rule? Are they willing to swap the defeat of the republican party at the next national election for the defeat of Senator Foraker for United States senator from Ohio? Will the voters of Ohio stand for it? Will the republican party permit it? That a doofoo thinks so, there is no 'oob' on the colony people throughout the country as to how the colored citizens of Cleveland will vote. There is no room for doubt or argument. Party fealty does not come into this fight at all. It is a fight between a few men on the one side, representing oppression—the denial of manhood rights; and on the other, a single MAN, Senator Foraker. Seeing it, I believe, equally before the law. So I have had the habit saying that the colored men of Cleveland will vote against the enemies of the MAN. A VOTE AGAINST MR. BURTON IS A VOTE FOR SENATOR FORAKER AND NOT FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR. After the election is over every colored man in Cleveland should be able to say, and say, "I voted for Foraker." Colored men of Cleveland, it is within uncertain manner that the act in no uncertain manner that a man is grateful. If you do this you will win for your people, friends who have heretofore doubted your loyalty and as a consequence of that doubt have failed to aid you in times when you needed friends. Senator Foraker has never doubted your loyalty. He has always had your support and God grant that he always will. If he is deserted let it be by white men. They have never doubted your loyalty. For instance, Mr. Roosevelt. All he is is greatly due to the loyalty of colored men on the field of battle and at the polls. What is the result? He would send the whole colored race to perditie or a few paragraphs of gush in the southern papers or the support of a southern senator to some pet measure in the senate. And this is the man whose candidate for mayor of your grand city you are expected to vote for. He is the republican candidate. Will you do it? Well, I guess not. WM. T. FERGUSON Foraker Praised - Roosevelt Scored! Washington, D. C. - Despite the efforts of some of the leaders to keep out of its discussions all matters political, the national Negro Baptist convention on the 16th hotly debated the Brownsville affair. A committee prepared resolutions on the subject and sent them to Roosevelt and stoutly praised Senator Foraker. It was only through fear of disrupting the convention that the delegates consented to a milder set of resolutions criticising President Roosevelt and deploring the Brownsville affair and saying: "the entire country is going to be unhappy."

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio ALLEGORY TRADE SCHOOL CLEVELAND Cleveland, Saturday, Sept. 28, 1907. 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. For President Senator J.B. Foraker Bishop Derrick, of the A. M. E. church, and Bishop Caldwell, of Zion A. M. E. church, are quoted else- where in this paper. They, too, speak in warmest words of praise and appre- lation of Senator Foraker. The intense feeling against President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, caused by their shameful mistreatment of "The Black Battalion" and the race in general, as a result of the Brownville, Texas, affair, continues to grow. Their persistent refusal to right, as far as possible, the terrible wrong done our soldiers is the cause, CANDIDATE BURTON. Recently, republicans of the city of Cleveland nominated as their candidate for mayor Congressman Theodore E. Burton, the man who last year led the move to rest the state party organization, from Senators Foraker and Dick and was defeated, and the man who up to date has led the Roosevelt movement in Ohio at least, in favor of Secretary Taft's candidacy for the presidency, and against Senator Foraker's return to the United States senate and probable candidacy for the republican nomination for the presidency. This is the general impression, and it will remain such until the Hon. Theodore E. Burton sees fit to place a different light upon it—if he can. The next mayor of Cleveland, if he be a republican, will control the largest delegation in the next republican state convention, and the largest delegation in the next assembly, elected next year. With this power he can insure Secretary Taft's candidacy, the endorsement of the next state republican convention and practically dictate its refusal to endorse Senator Foraker for re-election to the United States senate—if he wishes so to do. With the largest delegation in the next assembly, which will convene a year from this coming winter, and the assistance of a favorable state administration, this same republican mayor of Cleveland can name the person to be elected a member of the United States senate by that body, to succeed Senator Foraker. The above are facts that the friends of Senator Foraker in the city of Cleveland must recognize particularly at this time, because of Mr. Burton's candidacy for mayor. Without proper assurances from him that he will favor, in event of his election, the reelection of Senator Foraker to the United States senate, should he desire it, and with matters standing as stated in the opening paragraph of this article, there can be no doubt that every vote cast for Mr. Burton in November will be one cast in favor of the elimination of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker from public life. Only positive assurances to the contrary from Candidate Burton can create other belief in the face of facts and conditions to which we have called attention. The whole matter in the light outlined above has been submitted to him. We are patiently awaiting his promised reply. ROOSEVELTIS LETTER TO BURTON. President Roosevelt, in his letter of August 30, 1907, to Congressman Burton, wrote: "My dear Mr. Burton; * * * * It is exceedingly desirable that you should win out as mayor of Cleveland. * * * * I feel that it is of the utmost importance to have a man of your experience, power and character, of your long training, theoretical and practical in public life, take such a position as that of mayor of Cleveland." Of course; because the republican mayor of the largest city in the state of Ohio would be the most powerful factor in the next state convention and in the state assembly to be elected next fall, as the result of his having the control of the largest delegation in both bodies. The convention will endorse Taft or Foraker for the republican presidential nomination, and endorse the latter for re-election to the United States senate or refuse to do --- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1907. so. The assembly referred to will have to re-elect Senator Foraker or elect someone else to succeed him as a member of the United States senate. These are the reasons why President Roosevelt feels "that it is exceedingly desirable, and that it is of the utmost importance that Burton should win out as mayor of Cleveland," and that his son-in-law, Congressman Nicholas Longworth, or some other Taft republican in Cincinnati, should do the same thing in that city, in November. It is all the part of a well-laid plan to eliminate Senator Foraker from public life. The president, Secretary Taft and Congressman Burton, as well as the rest of the Taft forces in the state, have been prompt to realize the fact that since his return to the state after the adjournment of congress, Senator Foraker has won the great mass of republicans to his side. In fact, injected by the Taft forces, by a series of public addresses throughout the state which he is continuing at the request of various pioneer associations, Chautauquas and other regularly organized Ohio bodies. Even the Taft subsidized press of the state was prompted to see that other measures than those used to date must be adopted by the Taft forces throughout Ohio. If Senator Foraker and his friends were to be beaten. Therefore, this effort of the president and his following in at least the two largest cities of the state, to elect leaders in the Taft movement in Ohio, mayors in the Cleveland and Cincinnati, the state's two largest cities. It would be a very easy matter, as we have already said, for said officials, with assistance from other parts of the state, to control the next, republican state convention, and the state assembly to be elected next year. Great is this newest scheme of the president and his Taft forces in Ohio. It will not succeed any more than the others have. This latest (mayoralty) move is public admission of the utter failure of their attempts to date to eliminate from public life our only outspoken friend in congress, the admittedly ablest man in many respects in the United States senate, the only statesman who has had the temerity to publicly, successfully and rightfully oppose the president (in the Brownsville and statehood matters) and virtually "skim" him in an unexpected and enforced debate at the now famous Gridiron dinner—namely, the senior senator from Ohio. More power to him! We very much fear that the president's interference in local matters in the two largest cities in the state of Ohio will result in the election of democratic mayors unless Cincinnati will be successful in its effort to throw off the Roosevelt incubus which unfortunately seems to have been loaded upon Cleveland in the anti-Foraker and pro-Taft candidacy of Congressman Burton. Presidential Interference. President Roosevelt is pursuing a policy that is as audacious as it is surprising. It has brought disaster to more than one statesman and if his popularity does not suffer as a result of his meddling in the affairs of not only states, but municipalities, he will bear a charmed political life that will defy destruction. Congressman Theodore B. Burton, of Cleveland, O. gives to the public a letter from President Roosevelt, of New York, endorsing him (Burton) and urging him to run for the position of mayor of Cleveland against Mayor Tom L. Johnson. Secondly, he has given similar advice but they are residents of Ohio and could not be charged with interfering with the local affairs of another state. It may be well to state that Congressman Burton has been spoken of as the administration's candidate to succeed Senator J. B. Foraker in the United States senate. All of these things tend to show the way affairs are drifting. The distinguished occupant of the White House has done much to make sure that he is persistently drawing upon the stored up supply in a way that indicates that sooner or later he will be the worst hated man in the United States. His enemies are in ambush, but a temporary political defeat of either himself or his policies will bring them out of the woods, in battalions and brigades. He has reached the highest point, in not only the public estimation, but has attained a fame that the great men of the world might envy. Let us hope that he will find few years he may regret that he outlived his usefulness and was too careless of the warnings that now line every step of his pathway—Richmond (Va.) Planet. DON'T VOTE FOR BURTON! Lake Charles, La., Sept. 20, 1997. Mr. Editor: Is it possible that our voters of the great state of Ohio and the city of Cleveland will be deluded by "the man on the horse" (Roosevelt) and forget the Brownsville, Tex., affair and allow a few federal appointments of their race to office make them forget and lose sight of the "man on the horse" at Washington, D. C? If the administration at Washington, D. C. has so much love for the "black" brother of this country, why did he discharge that battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry without giving them a chance to prove their innocence? Before the Afro-American voters of Cleveland can vote for Mr. Burton he should assemble at the office of Senator Patrick re-election to the United States senate. These are the questions that should be asked Representative Burton, and if a satisfactory answer is not given, our voters should not vote for Mr. Burton. I appeal to you, my brothers, to stand by Senator J. B. Foraker against the "man on the horse" at Washington, or any of his lieutenants in office or of office. From yours, I am race Col. Harry C. Smith, the valiant and veteran editor of the Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette, is publishing some red hot matter nowadays. He is delivering upper cuts and body blows upon the present administration, and particularly upon the rotund form of Secretary of War Taft. Col. Smith is a consistent and deep rooted Foraker man, and will ascend to heaven or descend to hades with the political fortunes of the brave and fearless Foraker. In Ohio politics there is no room for conservatism. Every man there is a "radical," and Col. Harry C. Smith is a radical. Col. Smith is he. He is an able leader and the Negroes of Ohio are giving him their hearty support. Col. Smith should be returned to the Ohio legislature for the rest of his days.—W. T. Menard, Washington (D. C.) Correspondent, in the Pensacola (Fla.) Sentinel. ROOSEVELT "CONSISTANCY." President Roosevelt recently at the request of drunken John L. Sullivan, the ex-champion puglist 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 re-enlisted in the military service. The general practice in the three arms is that no enlisted man can be re-enlisted when his previous service has been "honest and faithful." That rule was recently cited as prohibiting the re-enlistment of any of the 167 soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry who were "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 aggravates the comparison—makes it worse for Theodore Roosevelt. There is even grave doubt as to the legality of the re-enlistment 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 Battalion," and their race, whom he has branded as midnight assassins and criminals in order to cater to and satisfy the morbid hatred and prejudice so 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. Myron T. Herrick, we were all sent down to defeat as the result of a speech delivered at Akron by secretary of war, Wm. Haft, and the reform cry of graft, directed by him and other persons against B. Cox, 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 renominated 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 of 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 than 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 can and does not now. Recently it was announced that "The Clansman," Tom Dixon's firebrand 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, owns the theater building. When leading Afro-Americans of that city called on 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 gave the role to it. With Brother Charles alding and abetting Tom Dixon's dirty work against the race with his infernal play, "The Clansman," and Secretary Taft out-Roosevelting Roosevelt in his effort to faster the alleged Brownville, Texas, riot crime upon "The Black Battalion." It is high time for others of our people beside those who live in Ohio to get busy along the same resolution line.

WEALTH UNLIMITED Granville T. Woods Will Sue New Yorkers for His Legal Patent Right. New York City—"These two documents are worth more than $600,000 to me," said inventor Granville T. Woods recently, some years ago a resident of Cincinnati, holding in his hands a bundle of papers, sealed with the big red seal of the United States and officially counter-signed at the Washington, D. C. One was leaker patent No. 697,767, for a motor control apparatus and the other letter patent No. 697,928 for a system of electrical control. The man who was showing them was a full-blooded Negro, descendant of Australian aborigines; yet he is one of New York's foremost electrical experts—the "Black Edson" his fellow in the field, who elevated people wouldn't sell their device for any amount. I regard mine worth more than $600,000. The whole matter is in the hands of my attorneys, Townsend & Becker, No. 141 Broadway. They will consult the Manhattan authorities and if they cannot reach a settlement a suit will be brought at once in the United States to prevent the use of motives for switching electric trains, because each car is equipped with its own motor—the more cars in a train the more power that can be taken from the feed rail. The entire train can be run from any platform on any car with one lever, in either direction—the motorman's hand operating the motors on all the cars at the same time in black, carefully cut and creased, with a black cravat, in which nestles a diamond horseshoe. His home is a model of comfort. GOV. HARRIS SPEAKS! From an Ohioan the Great William Lloyd Garrison Received His Inspiration—Farm Land Springfield, O.—In his speech at the emancipation celebration held here September 21, Gov. A. L. Harris said among other things of prime interest to our people: "Benjamin Lundy, a young Quaker and pioneer abolitionist, established the Union tumine社会ist in St. Clairsville, N.J., and waps the first anti-slavery society organized in America. In 1821 at Point Pleasant, O. he commenced the publication of The Genius of Universal Emancipation. Later he met William Lloyd Garrison in Boston when, in his own language, "there was not a known abolitionist in that city" it was from Lundy, of Ohio, that Garrison, of Massachusetts, received his bachelor. The two were over afterwards associated together in anti-slavery work. "The federal census of 1900 shows the total number of farms in the United States operated by Negroes to be 745,117. The value of these farms, including buildings, implements and live stock, was over $500,000,000. The total value of products fed to live stock inclusive of products fed to live stock on the premises, was $255,751,145, and exclusive of products fed to live stock, $229,907,702. The value of the Negro farms was about $2½ per cent of the total valuation of the farm property of the United States, while the value of the Negro farms was about 8 per cent of the total value of the farm products of the United States."

A New York physician, who came to this city from San Francisco to practice shortly after the great earthquake there tells this story of a large fee he once received from one of his patients, a California millionaire: "My patient was an eccentric old fellow in many ways. His malady, while not very serious, necessitated a painful operation, which he successfully underwent. Three weeks after, while sitting up in bed convalescing he threw his nightcap at me, saying: 'Take that!' Knowing the old fellow's erratic ways I took the insult as good-naturedly as possible. Picking up the cap I returned it to him and was about to leave when he called me to the bedside. 'Here, Doc,' he said, leaning over toward me and stuffing the cap in my jacket pocket, 'there may be a silver lining in it.' I humored him, but on reaching home I found in the cap a check for $500."—N. Y. Times. Rusty Nall Bruise. Boll white navy beans until soft enough to mash and make a poullet.

O8' Everybody Reads The Old, Reliable GAZETTE The Original Hait Growers We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours With Great Hair Straightener and Grower 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. ES 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 30 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 haa 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 care: fally followed out. We bave many casea on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate whea we make these claims. KINK-ND 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 bair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roote gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago eays 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-bas grown on an aver age 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 Whe 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 goody over all others, we will sell one full-size bottle of Kink-ine, price 35 cents, one cake of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shainpoo and ‘Tollet Soap im the world, price 25 ents, both for only 50 cents, or ax bottles and six cakes of soap for §8.00., special offer Kood only at the following Soren: Marshall’s Drug Store, N.W.Cor.

"This summer I got so very bad I thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote to you and began at once to take Peruna and Manalin. "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and now I feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me with a different woman of me all together. I have the little book and read of your Peruna." "It is the business of the kids' to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. They are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna is exactly the sort of a remake.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1907. Scores Both Roosevelt and Taft! FORAKER PRAISED! Splendid Declaration of Principles and Strong Anti-Taft Resolutions—The Ohio Afro-American League and Officers. Columbus, O.—The greatest, most harmonious, (for there was perfect harmony, unanimity of purpose and action at all times) most enthusiastic and successful race conference ever held in Ohio, certainly within the last quarter of a century, was the meet on May 15 in Lazarus' hall, this city. The exceptional personnel of the gathering had much, of course, to do with this. Nearly 100 prominent Afro-American ministers, business and professional men, republican leaders from the different parts of Ohio met in a state conference at the request of the editor of The Gazette, defined their position in the pending presidential contest between Senator Porker and Secretary Taft and served notice upon the secretary and his friends that neither Taft nor Roosevelt, nor anyone the latter supports, will receive the support of the Afro-American voters of Ohio, who are 40,000 strong. President Roosevelt was both condemned and denounced, and Senator Foraker was commended and indented in the most glowing terms. The strongest language was used in denouncing the chief executive, the delegates were thoroughly in accord with the resolutions and they were adopted without a dissenting vote. The committee was made up as follows: Rev. J. M. Gilmore, chairman; Hon. R. C. L. Maxwell, Xenia; Rev. E. L. Gilliam, Columbus; Walter P. S. Thomas, Columbus; W. P. W. Dabney, Cincinnati; Rev. W. O. Harper, Dayton; Major J. W. Riggs, Springfield; Dr. W. S. Johnston, Columbus; Dr. S. S. Jordan, Chillicothe, and Reh. D. C. White, Stenbueville, Senator of War Taft did not escape the instrument to the president. "Foraker first, last and all the time," and defiance of the man with the big stick, was declared to be the slogan of Afro-Americans, in the future, and the name of "Foraker" was determined upon as the password to any meeting of our citizens. The meeting was called to order at 10:30 a.m. by Dr. Wren, Rev. Dr. Talbert, of Wilberforce, was named for chairman by the editor of The Gazette, and Dr. Wren and Mr. Poston were made secretary and assistant respectively. While the committee on resolutions were out, addresses made by delegates and others present on this number were: Rev. C. S. Williams, Wellington C. H.; Meres, Riggs, Smith, Tharp, Attorney N. B. Marshall, of Washington D. C., and Glurcht Stewart, of New York City. When the committee returned and reported the following splendid declaration of principles: anti-Taft resolutions, and provided for a permanent organization known as the Ohio Afro-American league, the wildest cheering and enthusiastic acclaim was heard for a block. Declaration of Principles "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emolument. "As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and equal justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. "As loyal and faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achieved when defeat seemed imminent, without any resultant advantages to ourselves. "We are as loyal and as true today as ever, but have grown tired of being considered as pawns in the great game of party politics and are determined to call a halt. "The presidential embroglio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and our forces for a triumphant campaign against the combined armies of hatred, prejudice and indifference toward us within the party ranks. "President Roosevelt has not been uniformly just and square in his dealings with the Afro-American and cannot be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the south wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favorite uncles had fought under the stars and bars during the rebellion. If he brass of the fact that they fought to keep the Union's bondage and shoot to death the glorious emblem of our country, the stars and stripes, he is not in a position to recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Albion W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thousands of others who suffered in our behalf, and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that any of his relatives had fought to dissolve the Union and against human freedom. "We are for Senator Foraker, for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, reelection to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But your personal ambition may not be what we believe in the inherent right of every American citizen to "stand pat" whenever any individual, class or organization of men seek to secure his elimination from public life, whether it be the president of the United States or his hero worshippers. "Having the most profound regard and veneration for the late Hon. Alphonso Taft—father of the present secretary of war—who, as attorney general in the cabinet of General Grant, was a true friend to our oppressed brethren in the south, we regret that duty to our race and country compuls us to state that on William H. Taft, distinguished as he is, cannot and will not obtain the support of the Afro-American voters for the high office of president of the United States so long as he stands admittedly the personal candidate of Thadore Roosevelt. While we are aware of the fact that conditions may bring about his nomination, we also believe that conditions and votes will bring about his defeat if nominated. We reached that point where we would have to admit the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party. "We declare that he willforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding star chamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent. Signed: "C. L. Maxwell. Xenia." "Chesley D. ' lille, Steubenville, "J. M. Gilmere, Cleveland, chairman "Walter S. Thomas, Columbus, secretary." The Resolutions Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, secretary of war, is being announced as a probable candidate for the republican nomination next year for the presidency of the United States, and is being widely heralded, especially here in Ohio, as the one most eligible for that exalted honor and position, and Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, in his speeches at Greenburson, N. C., and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1906, viewed without protest the deplorable discrimination against our people, the undisguised violation of the constitution, in the matter of disfranchisement of colored citizens, at least condoning the same, and Whereas, The Hon. Wim. H. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and the military machine of the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore, be it. Resolved, That we, as law-abiding American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. W. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1804, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the diamissal without trial of 167 brave and meritorious soldiers, many of whom grow gray in service their lives, in wars, the Spanish-American war, shows weakness and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conservatism and justice which should characterize an aspirant for the greatest honor of our party and nation. Furthermore, Be is resolved that we call upon our brethren throughout this great state, particularly, and the country to join in our protest and warning to all republicans who support the Hon. W. H. Taft for anything at this time, that they are thus forfeiting the good will and support for the future of all loyal members of our race. --- Hon. Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, was elected chairman of the state executive committee and head of the Ohio Alto-American league. Other members of the committee: Rev. J. M. Glimere, Cleveland; Prof. W. P.

Read its "declaration of principles" and resolutions elsewhere in this paper and if they meet your approval, write to the editor of The Gazette, chairman of the executive committee and head of the league, and he will enroll your organization with those on the list. Let us work in union and harmony with an eye single to results of the kind desired and made plain in the state conference of our leading men of Ohio Columbus on May 15. PROPRIETARY REMEDIES VS. PHYSICIANS' PRESCRIPTIONS PROPRIETARY REMEDIES VS. PHYSICIANS' PRESCRIPTIONS Statistics Show, of the Deaths from Miseuse of Drugs in Two Years, Only Three Per Cent. Were Due to Patent Medicines. According to Figures Based on Medical Certificates. The press committee of the Proprietary Association of America will present at the next meeting of that body a report showing the number of accidental deaths caused by patent medicines in the two years ending June 30, 1907, as compared with deaths from other causes. Almost immediately after the beginning of the latest crusade against proprietary medicines this committee was instructed to collect data. This work was done through the clipping bureaus, which furnished accounts of all deaths, exclusive of suicide, due to the misuse of medicines, drugs or poisones. The result showed that only three per cent. could be traced directly to the products made by the members of the association The greatest care is said to have been exercised in tabulating the figures received. Whenever the cause of death was doubtful, special investigation was made, no matter where the case might have occurred. The work of assorting and preparing the record was done in Chicago, and the original clippings and correspondence are in the possession of Ervin F. Kemp, 184 La Salle street, that city, the association's publicity agent. The report says, in part: "A large number of accidents, resulting fatally or otherwise, were caused by the carelessness of persons who left drugs, medicines or poisons within the reach of children. A large number, also, were caused by persons going to medicine cabinets in the dark and taking down the wrong bottle. In no case reported was any medicine, 'patent' or otherwise, held responsible for injury or death except when left within the reach of children or taken or administered." gross overuse. The committee says that it is unlikely that any cases of death from the use of patient-knife escaped the newspapers, but that it is probable that death from the causes tabulated did occur without receiving publicity. Physicians, of course, report the causes of death. The committee says that they would be the last to suppress the cause if due to the use of medicine not regularly prescribed. A recapitulation of the committee's findings show 4,295 cases of poisoning, of which 1,753 were fatal. The greatest number of cases, 1,635, with 803 deaths, is attributed to medicines other than proprietary remedies. There are on the list 90 cases of sickness and 43 deaths due to patent medicines. Analyzing its statistics, the committee finds 201 cases of sickness, with 143 deaths, due to strychline tablets, which are among physicians' favorite remedies and are often left within the reach of children. Under the head of miscellaneous prescriptions are grouped 44 cases where, the report says, it has been impossible after diligent inquiry to ascertain the name or the character of the drug or medicine which caused injury or death, beyond the fact that the medicine or drug was prescribed by a physician. Of these cases 18 were fatal. The committee says: "Under the head of 'All Patent Medicines' are grouped all those remedies which are recognized as patent medicines and which are advertised direct to the public for internal use. Competent authorities say that at least one-half of the medicines taken in the United States are of the kind known as 'patent medicine,' and yet in two years among 80,000 people there have been but ninety cases (forty-three fatal) that have been reported in the newspapers from the use or misuse of these remedies." Not in a single fully substantiated case is it ever charged that any patient medicine in recommended doses was injurious. In this connection it should be understood that in making death certificates and in reporting cases of injury to the newspapers from which these cases were secured, a physician had the final word, and in this connection is there any probability that the doctor will hide his own carelessness or neglect or that of a fellow practitioner whose support he may want at some time, and is there even a possibility that he might hide any responsibility that could be thrown at a patent medicine? Ask yourself these questions. Then when you have found the answer, consider that during all this most thorough and careful investigation covering a period of two years, in not a single established case was it shown that patent medicine in recommended doses was injurious. The most remarkable case reported was that of an Italian laborer in New York who suffered from pains in the chest. A physician ordered a porous plaster which the patient ate, with fatal results. Wear Pajamas on Cars. "I learned something from the porter, on our train this morning," said a hotel guest. "I noticed him pick up the coat to a pair of pajamas while he was making up one of the berths. Whoever had occupied the berth had got off the train, evidently, and left the garment behind. "Forgot part of his nightie, eh?" says I to the porter. The porter grinned broadly. "Wasn't any his about it, boss," he says. "I war a lady that was in that berth last night. Yes, sah. Lots of 'em seems to like them to wean on the cahs. I guess they thinks they're better in case of a wreck or sump' like that." Dugald's Explanation. Staying at an inn in Scotland a shooting party found their sport much interfered with by rain. Still, wet or fine, the old-fashioned barometer that hung in the hall persistently pointed to "set fair." At length one of the party drew the landlord's attention to the gl. as, saying: "Don't you think now, Dugal, there's something the matter with your glass?" "No, sir," replied Dugal, with dignity; "she's a gude glass and a powerful glass, but she's no moved wil trifles." A well at New Burlington, O., yields both salt and fresh water. A MISSOURI WOMAN Tells a Story of Awful Suffering and Wonderful Relief. Mrs. J. D. Johnson, of 603 West Hickman St, Columbia, Mo., says: a operation two years ago, drops set in, and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water. There was constrict pain and a gurgling motion around my heart. I could not raise my nose, I could not my head. The kid new action was discor- agd, dropsy set in and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water. There was constipation and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm above my head. The kidney action was discered and passages of the secretions too frequent. On the advice of my husband I began using Donn's Kidney Pills. Since using two boxes my trous ble has not reappeared. This is won derful, after suffering two years." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box Foster-Milburn C., Buffalo, N. Y. KNEW VALUE OF AN OATH. Colored Witness at Least Was Aware of Its Pecuniary Worth. Clarence S. Darrow, the well known lawyer and essayist, discussing the Haywood trial, in which he played so prominent a part, said the other day: "Some of the evidence in that trial was so transparently false that it reminds me of a case that came off in Alabama a few years back. One of the witnesses in this case was an extremely ignorant man. As his testimony progressed, his ignorance became so shockingly evident that he judge, looking sternly down at him said: "Look here, sir, are you acquainted with the value of an oath?" "The witness answered anxiously: "Judge, I hope I am. That that lawyer on yer left hand gimme six dollars to kw'ar agin the other side. Thet's the corneck value of an oath, ain't it, jedge?" Horrible Method of Suicide Most people have at some time witnessed revolting sights, but the falling of a suicide from the cathedral tower onto the pavement, 210 feet below, into the midst of the hurrying noonday crowd, upon whose faces and clothes his exploding debris scattered itself, which was seen in Antwerp recently, beggars description. A merchant known as Jacques Simons quietly left his wife and two children at home, as if to go on some business errand made straight for the cathedral tower, climbed it, and without an instant's hesitation, hurled himself into space. History relates that no one has jumped from this tower since the suicide of its architect, to whom a popular legend of the sixteenth century attributes the same fate, small bits of brass marking the spot on the pavement where he fell. Hindoo Defines Billiards. John Horgan, the champion pool player, told at a dinner in St. Louis a billiard story. "Billards is a tame amusement beside pool," Mr. Horgan began. "Two Hindoos were once discussing the game in Calcutta, and I think that their idea of it was pretty near the right one. "What is this white man's game of billiards I hear so much about?" said the first Hindoo. "Don't you know?" said the second. "No. Tell me." "Well," said the second Hindoo, billiards is a very simple game. Two men armed with long sticks poke at a ball on a green table, and one says, "I am" while the other says "hard lines." Kismet. Kismet is an Arabic word meaning "fate," or "it is fated." A belief in predestination is one of the fundamental principles in the Mohammedan faith. Not only a man's fortune, but his deeds, and consequently his future reward or punishment are, according to this faith, irrevocably, and thus unavoidably, pre-ordained—a doctrine which has contributed largely to the success of Islam by inspiring its champions with the greatest contempt for the dangers of warfare. When a Mohammedan meets with any disaster or misfortune, no matter how great, he accepts the situation calmly, merely saying, "Kismet"—"it is fated." PUTS THE "GINGER" IN The Kind of Food Used by Athletes. A former college athlete, one of the long distance runners, began to lose his power of endurance. His experience with a change in food is interesting. "While I was in training on the track athletic team, my daily 'jogs' became a task, until after I was put on Grape-Nut food for two meals a day. After using the Food for two weeks I felt like a new man. My digestion was perfect, nerves steady and I was full of energy. "I trained for the mile and the half mile runs (those events which require so much endurance) and then the long daily 'jogs', which before had been such a task, were clipped off with ease. I won both events. "The Grape-Nut food put me in perfect condition and gave me my ginger." Not only was my physical condition made perfect, and my weight increased, but my mind was made clear and vigorous so that I could get out my studies in about half the time formerly required. Now most all of the University men use Grape-Nut for they have learned its value, but I think my testimony will not be amiss and may perhaps help some one to learn how the best results can be obtained. There's a reason for the effect of Grape-Nut food on the human body and brain. The certain elements in wheat and barley are selected with special reference to their power for rebuilding the brain and nerve centres. The product is then carefully and scientifically prepared so as to make it easy of digestion. The physical and mental results are so apparent after two or three week's use as to produce a profound impression. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a reason." There is more Carataria in this section of the cozy than on other diseases put together, and there are few years we was supposed to be living in. For a few years we was prescribed to be living in a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly asking Science has proven Carataria to be a constitutional disease and therefore require constitutions. Carataria is treated by Dr. A. Cheney & Co. Tolio, Ohio, is the only Constitutional course on the blood to drop a teaspoon directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Alabama Judge Did Not Think Deceased Would Miss Much. "Your honor," said a prosecutor attorney in an Alabama backwoods court, "the prisoner at the bar is charged with killing one of the most exemplary citizens of this county. Thomas Jones, your honor, was in every respect a model man. He was a member of the church: he was never known to bet on horses, play poker, drink whisky or use tobacco. He—" "And he never drank liquor?" "Never drank a drop, your honor." "And he didn't chew tobacco?" "Never took a chew in his life." "Well, then," said the judge, "I don't see what he wanted to live for. There wasn't anything in life for him, and I don't see why he n't about as well off dead as alive. Release the prisoner, Mr. Sheriff, and call the next case." FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep— Hands, Arms and Legs Affected —Cuticura Cured in 6 Days. "I had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affected parts were my hands, arms and legs. They were the worst in the winter time, and were always itchy, and I could not keep from scratching them. I had to keep both hands bandaged all the time, and at night I would have to scratch through the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me but they could not give me a permanent cure nor even could they stop the itching. After using the Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and I never felt better in my life than I do.

"You evidently have a very vivid imagination, Mr. Borem," said the dear girl, as she made an unsuccessful attempt to strangle a yawn. "Why do you think so?" queried the unsuspecting Borem. "I thought perhaps you imagined yourself in the Arctic regions, where the nights are six months long," she explained. And 30 seconds later he had faded into the glummsome gloom.

One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy Tumor, The growth of a tumor is so insidious that frequently its presence is wholly unsuspected until it is well acquired. So called "wandering pains" may come from its early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thigh. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacements, secure a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, right away and its use. The following letters should convince every suffering woman of its virtue, and that it actually does conquer tumors. Mrs. Mays Fry, of 836 W. Colfax Ave, South Bend, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham :- "I take great pleasure in writing to thank you for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I also took the Blood Purifier in alternate doses with the Compound. Your medicine removed a cyst tumor of four years' growth, which three of the best physicians declared I had. They had said that only an operation could help me. I am very thankful that I followed a friend's advice and took your medicine. It has made me a strong and well woman and I shall recommend it as long as I live." Mrs. E. F. Hayes, of 26 Ruggles St., Boston, Mass., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham ; "I have been under different doctors treatment for a long time without relief. They told me I had a fibroid tumor, my abdomen was swollen and I suffered with great pain. I wrote to them, you replied, I followed your directions carefully and today I am a well women. Lydia E.
