FASHION'S TICKLE FANCIES THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY IN UNION THEN AS SINCE THERE TWENTY-FIFTH FASHION'S Styles may come and styles may go but the faithful shirt-waist remains to gladden the feminine heart eternally. Generally speaking Fashion is very fickle, to-day delighting in one thing and in another phase of dress to-morrow. But when it comes to the utilitarian shirt-waist, she cannot get away from it if she should try, and as she is wise enough not to try. Ideas as to the make up of the shirt-waist change with the seasons, however, and my lady is ever ready for new ideas in this direction. For this reason we offer in our larger illustration a group of charming shirt-waist patterns, which range from the plain to the elegant—from the one for common everyday wear to the creation in spotted net and fillet gulpure insertion suitable for the dressy occasion. The smartly-simple blouse displayed in the center at the top is of cream nun's veiling and is arranged, both at the back and in the front, in a series of box-pleats, while there is a doubly frilled front of kilted and hemstitched cambric, with pearl buttons studding the center foid, and a trim little the bow at the neck beneath the linen collar. Front and collar are detachable, so that you can lend variety to the blouse as desired by means of some of the many other cravats and collars which are always to be found among the wardrobe accessories. The one to the left while somewhat similar in style is carried out in filet net lined with net, the box-plaits, which give such becoming width to the shoulders, being at first held in place by a series of French knots worked in silk; while, then, the same device appears on the dividing band between those double and kilted frills, whose fullness is so becoming and so fashionable, and at the back their place between the wider plaits is taken by a series of tiny tucks. The puffs of the sleeves are caught in below the elbow with a close cuff. The blouse on the right of the group may be made of crepe de chine in ivory, blue, turquoise, or brown, or practically any of the new shades, as taste may dictate. It is closely tucked beneath a vanyaked yoke of Valenciennes, outlined by narrow straplings of crepe de chine and open-work silk stitchings to match, a fold of the colored fabric being used as an edging for the collar-band. The full sleeves are drawn into deep cuffs, which, like the yoke, are formed of many overlapping rows of Valenciennes, and the yoke continues its decorative career at the back. And now for the climax of beauty and elegance to be found displayed in the lower part of the illustration. This waist is of spotted net and filet gulpure insertion, further adorned with many shining drop ornaments in either gold or silver—a pretty enough blouse, this, for almost any occasion, and one, too, which will submit to being worn beneath a heavy fur coat without showing any signs of crushing. As the eye will naturally wander from the fascinations of the larger illustration to the beautiful evening gown displayed in our smaller picture, let us have a word about it before passing to other topics of our letter. This model displays the long clinging lines such as are so much in favor in Paris. The long under-skirt is of satin in charmeuse in a lovely tone of shimmering green, like the tender leaves of the hothouse illies-of-the-valley, which delight our eyes in all the flower shops at this moment. To heighten its attractions, the under-skirt is thickly embroidered with large pearls, iridescent bugles and sequins, which have a most brilliant effect on the THE GAZETTE CHARMING BLOUSES sheen of the satin. Over this beautiful under-robe falls a tunic of finest gauze, rather short in front, but hanging low at the sides and back, and edged all round with a deep lace in vandyke points. It is slightly cut up at the sides and held together by three short bands and bows of silver tissue. The square decolletage is outlined by a band of jeweled embroidery with a large motif in front, from which a deep fringe of glittering jewels hang far below the waist. Similar fringes adorn the shoulders, hanging over loose sleeves of white tulle; and folds of white tulle are drawn across the bust above the jeweled embroidery and fringe. The dress may be de- An Evening Gown. scribed as gorgeously simple, for nothing could be more simple than its lines or more gorgeous than its details. Many new devices, or rather modifications of devices now in vogue, for dressing the neck are being seen. Some are worn by leaders of fashion on this side the water, while others have not left the land of their birth in Paris. For some time now the little velvet ribbon wound around the neck has been a feature of certain gowns of the modish woman's wardrobe, especially when she wears a gown with a round neck or at the top of a high collar. One of the newest variations in this is to have the ribbon wound around the base of the throat, instead, as heretofore, tied high. In the new fashion, which is, of course, suited to the neck rounded gown, the ends cross and are completed by a gold, silver or jet tassel, tiny, of course, or by a bit of fringe or some other ornament. The accepted fashion in Paris is to have the ends at the back, but with a neck cut with a slight V in the front and with short ends and ornaments the fastening in front would be prettier. The fashion originated, apparently, from the wearing by Mme. Avril last spring in La Savellie, with a second empire frock of what the French call a "sulvez-mol," and the English a "follow me" of black velvet at the back of her neck, having extremely long ends floating behind her, the whole in black velvet. These touches of velvet, especially in black, when combined with lace or filmy frocks, are fetching. Of course one can match the color of one's frock or some of its trimmings. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. FOREMOST! FOREMOST! AMONG AMERICAN STATES MEN IS SENATOR J. B. FORAKER. OUR GREATEST FRIEND A FEW NEGRO "BOODLERS" ONLY FOR TAFT, ONE OF OUR ENEMIES AND A FRIEND OF THE SOUTH. (Special To The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—That the colored vote will play the most important part in the approaching election since its enfranchisement is becoming more generally certain every day. This will be due largely to two principal causes, namely: the change of sentiment among white voters north and a rejection of the Democratic Senator J. B. Foraker in Ohio politics. A movement is on to secure the election of one Afro-American delegate to Chicago from each of 27 close congressional districts in six states north of the Potomac; and in 12 states south of the Potomac where our people are ignored by white republicans, they are to be urged to hold state and district conventions to send solid Afro-American delegations to the Chicago republican convention and to deprive the majority of the republican party in that section. These 12 states can send a total of 24 delegates that will demand recognition. The managers propose to thus put it up to the national republican convention to sustain the "Hily whites" or seat the Afro-American delegates representing the bulk of the party. Jas. W. Rodgers, of Maryland; J. E. Washington, D. C., states that this work is now under way by a vigilance committee. He is chairman and is associated with A. W. Rodgers, of North Carolina; J. H. Handy, of Maryland; J. A. Cobb, of Georgia; Samuel B. Thompson, of New Jersey; J. R. Walters, of Virginia; E. W. Ralters, of Carolina; H. D. Carter, of West Virginia; J. H. Carter, of the District of Columbia. Discussing the situation at a conference today Mr. Poe said: "It is but a short time since the democrats elected the governor of Ohio. In less than a year she may place her electoral vote in the democratic column and the republican banner be made to trail in the dust of defeat. Factional differences have lost Ohio to the republicans in other campaigns and bid fair to do so again. Federal interference with the will of the people is a serious problem to the party in power. It is not a safe policy, ignores the wishes of the people and is an attempt to take away from them what belongs to them. Such policies helped make Grover Cleveland president and twice lost his party the presidency. When the people rebuke federal interference the opposite party triumphs. Present indications threaten the republican party with defeat this fall. "The attempt to eliminate Senator J. B. Johnson, without any good reason will inevitably injure the republican party at the polls both in and outside of that state. He is opposed by federal officers simply because he differed from the president on certain questions. Ohio once sent men to congress to legislate. Her senators and representatives were once sovereign and supreme in their respective spheres. Presidents once called them into council and sought their advice. They could agree or disagree with the president and their constituents. They were the servants of the president. Is this alone responsible. Is this no longer true in Ohio? Have her senators become more trucklings? Do they dare to any longer have and assert convictions? "Those who are seeking the defeat and elimination of Mr. Foraker have given the people of Ohio no good reason why they should oppose him. The United States senate has many brilliant men, and in the front rank of the list is Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio. The failure of that senate has given him a winnable nation. If that state is to have the nominee at Chicago, she has no man who would receive a larger vote both in and out of the state than would Senator J. B. Foraker. This is too well known to need anything said in support of it. His reasonable opponents will admit this much. "The perpetuation of republican national supremacy must be predicated on majorities at the polls in November and not at the shores of federal office. Nothing more than done to aid in handing over the federal government to the democratic party at this time. They will put up a strong and determined fight for supremacy this fall with closed-up ranks. It is not clear just yet who will be their candidate, whether Bryan, Roosevelt or Johnson. The combined strength of Fairbanks, Hughes, the nomination of Taft, the impossibility Mr. Taft, if nominated, could not get the colored vote unless he could have the support of Senator Foraker. Nothing is more certain." The motion of Mr. Rembert to hold a full meeting of the committee on March 3 to name members in all of the states named was agreed to and invitations are to be sent out to many colored men and a large representation is expected. This meeting will be held in Washington and the temporary headquarters will be at 713 Fifth street, S. E., where a roster will be prepared till the meeting in March. A permanent headquarters will be set up by the national delegates are elected in all of the states. James W. Poe, E. W. Rembert and C. E. Stokes were named a sub-committee to frame the request for the election of colored delegates in 27 northern districts and the call for state and district conventions in the south to elect colored delegations in order to preserve the political identity of colored republicans south. MOST UNSELFISH MAN! What Senator Foraker Will Be Able to Do at the National Republican Convention With Our Support. Bonneville, Ore., Feb. 11, 1908.—Mr. Smith; I am enclosing you 1,198 for one year's subscription to The Gazette. I know Senator Foraker is and has always been a true friend of our people. "Tried by fire," more than once, he has never failed. Even now, it is for THEM, not himself, he is fighting. If he can go into the Chicago convention with the solid race behind him, he can defeat Taft and Roosevelt (these self-styled resistance if it suits their moods and fight to the death a man who dares question their infallibility), and the man who is nominated will be glad to give justice to those Brownville troops in return for his support. He is the most unselfish man I ever knew, I think, though Senator Dick seems to be making a very good second and to be standing loyalty to his colleague. But if our people fall now, they will be held accountable, and if they be many a long year before they can win respect from either party. I have heard men remark here on the coast more than once that it did not matter what the president did, the Negroes did not amount to much, and would vote the ticket, no matter whom the republicans nominated. Far better an open foe than a false friend. Forge me for taking your time. Is there a race paper published at Nashville, Tenn.? A friend of mine here desired to know and I thought you probably could give me the information. With all good reasons, I remain, yours truly, the best friend. RESOLUTIONS. At a regular meeting of the Independent Workers of East Cleveland held February 5, 1908, the undersigned committee was appointed to draw up the following resolutions: "Whereas, it has pleased the Great Architect of the Universe to remove from our midst our late brother, William H.

HEADS IT — THE ROOSEVELT- TAFT ADMINISTRATION OUR WORST ENEMY — THE HARM IT HAS DONE US. The positive and notoriously hostile attitude of the government of our republic toward its citizens of color under the present republican administration and the approach of the party nominating conventions in this year 1908 produce a crisis for one-eighth of the citizenship of these United States of America. The open alliance between the president and the nullifiers of the constitution in the south constitutes the most flagrant collusion between a republican president and the southern democrats since the emancipation of the American slaves 45 years ago today, save in the case of Andrew Johnson at the close of the civil war or of Rutherford B. Hays at the close of the reconstruction. But he remained for the present chief executive of the nation to describe in official documents an inferior grade of education for one class of citizens, and to thus officially brand that class as concealers of criminals and as rapists, while the defaming and discharging in disgrace of more than a hundred soldiers, all colored, with a total maniac to be heard in their defense is a justice and constitutional rights visited upon colored citizens unprecedented in our country's history. The placing of the nation's sanction upon the segregation of citizens for and because of color in public travel but completes the federal maltreatment of the colored citizens under the present rejection administration, leaving him stripped of rights, branded and in contempt. In view of these unusual and extraordinary conditions, in view of the attempt of the present zarcotocratic regime to perpetuate itself in power in imperial fashion; in view of the open candidacy for the republican party's nomination for the presidency of one who in his official position as a cabinet officer has in public speech in the south condoned their disdain of citizens for color in admitted violating constitutional constitution, and who has supinely dorsed in toto the brutal and autocratic discharge of colored soldiers without trial by executive decree, you as one of a class which almost from necessity has for two generations by its solid support and with a loyalty that sacrifices friends, the chance to make terms with the enemy and even life itself, kept the republican party almost continuously in power, but one who is free from party obligation, are invited to a national conference of colored men, and of avowed friends to be held in the city of Philadelphia, on the day of April, 1908, to counsel together, as to the closest course to be pursued politically by the colored citizens of the country espired those unrobbed of the ballot who are willing to use this weapon for the rights and liberties of their class, under the present abnormal condition of affairs. This conference will have special reference to what demands shall be made of political parties as to the national platform and most particularly to what candidates for the presidential nomination most deserve the support of the colored voters. Please come prepared to make a stand for equal rights and for constitutional liberty for all in these United States without regard to race, color or creed.

He says at the very outset: 'My attitude toward the Negro and the war amendments—the 13th, 14th and 15th—started fully in my question, speech and also in my Lexington speech.' Those speeches are the very ones we hold against Mr. Taft, and yet he assures Brascher that his position is fully stated there. It is partly on account of these two speeches that we are bound to urge the colored voter to, as far as in him lies, prevent the nomination of Taft. He is a comprimiser of human rights, a man who believes that in the Negro's case the rights need not be strictly insisted upon. He would make you a burnt offering on the modern altar of utilitarianism." Ex-Congressman Thomas F. Miller, president of the State Normal school. Rev. Dr. Charles Bundy and the editor of The Gazette returned Sunday evening from Youngstown, where the latter was called by the illness of Hon. W. R. Stewart. Dr. Bundy called on The Gazette Tuesday. The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Bundy, and sends their golden wedding anniversary celebration Tuesday evening, March 10, from 8 p. m. to 12 o'clock, at their home, 2806 Vera Street, Pittsburg, Pa. J. Edwin Dunnill and Miss Alta Jones, of Los Angeles, Cal., were married in Chicago this week. They will reside at 2362 E. 36th street. He formed Miss Jones' acquaintance while she was a student at the conservatory of music in Oberlin. He married Bill of Winchester, Kyle, and Rev. H. B. Britt, an evangelistic singer, of Louisville, are conducting union revival services at Antioch Baptist church for the Ministerial alliance. The meetings are well attended and of exceptional interest. The Z club grand opening Wednesday was certainly a spectacular affair. Lunch was served from 3 to 12 p. m. and Messrs. Doctor and Brack were all smiles in their "jjmwings." The club was crowded all day and evening. Music was turned by the Zs quartet. Everyone who can should attend the grand testimonial entertainment to be given in honor of the champion walker, Henry W. Shelton, at Acme hall (formerly Germania), E. 8th (Erie) street, on Tuesday evening. Dancing and vaudeville acts as well as several contests are the special attractions. Mr. Shelton, who won the recent contest at Central armory, will do some fine walking of various kinds. It transpires that there were eleven in attendance upon the Attucks club meeting last week, and in spite of Martin, Fleming and the "little bear's" pleading and importing, only two or three besides themselves signed their Taft petition. and the Leader and Plain Dealer had the gall to announce a morning of two offers wards that "Cleveland Negroes were for Taft. Some one ought to break the jibbs." When Afro-Americana support Taft they endorse disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars in the south, as he has practically done in his Greensburg, Tuskegee and Lexington speeches. We are not foolish or crazy enough to do that. It was really painful to see how the Cleveland Toilet-paper and the "little bear" (Satterfield's) labored last week to make something of the democratic story published earlier in the week in the Cincinnati Enquirer and Cleveland Plain Deal. Everybody knows, Nahoomody, that we are not grafters, boodlers and W. M.'s, following editorial in our only issue is worth reproducing in our only for the malicious mouth of a few bad "Burton" Negroes who are still sore over their stinging defeat of last fall and the consequent loss of promised jobs: "All that it is necessary for The Gazette to do at this time, in relation to the publication in a local democratic paper early in the week, emanating from Cincinnati, is to call attention to the campaign we that all during last fall camped in the columns of this paper (and from the rostrum in a public meeting) that while we were unalterably opposed to Candidate Burton, we would not and could not support or vote for Tom L. Johnson, the democratic candidate for mayor, and we didn't. That clears up, as far as we are concerned, the latest ocratic attempt to create a sensation that would harm Someone Foraker and others, his colleague's letters to Mr. L. Vail and O. J. Hodge, parts of which only were published during the campaign, absolve him from the false charge sought to be brought against him at this late day." The following is from the Chicago Conservator's of last week: "Nahum D. Brascher, editor of The Cleveland Journal (Toilet-paper), is one of very few Negroes who believe in the dietary Taft. Colored men with self-respect and common sense have resented the namby-pamby attitude toward the Negro question which Secretary Taft adopted at Tuskegee, Lexington and Greensboro. They resent also his sanction of Roosevelt's dishonorable discharge of the Negro soldiers. Brascher wrote the big war secretary for an expression from him on the race question. He was sure Mr. Taft has been misunderstood and he desired that he say so. Mr. Taft's letter should have unanswered, but he did not. Lower, but apparently it did not. He says at the very outset: "My attitude toward the Negro and the war amendments—the 13th, 14th and 15th—I stated fully in my Tuskegee speech and also in my Lexington speech. Those speeches are the very ones we hold against Mr. Taft, and yet he assures Brascher that his position is fully stated there. It is partly on account of these two speeches that we are bound to urge the colored voter to, as far as in him lies, preemptive action of the rights. He is a compromiser of human rights. a man who believes that in the Negro's case the observance of the war amendments need not be strictly insisted upon. He would make you a burnt offering on the modern altar of utilitarianism." Ex-Congressman Thomas F. Miller, president of the State Normal school at Orangeburg, S. C., speaking at Union, S. C., at an emancipation celebration, on January 1, 1908, said, among other things: "People, let us pray to God to grant us always a president who is not running over with professions of love for us, but a president that will give us all that we are entitled to under the law. The secretary of war, Judge Taft, a weak echo of our strenuous president, in his most recent report of the Brownsville affair to allow the governor to say of note except, 'Me too honest senators, me too.' The Negroes of America owe Joseph Benson Foraker their gratitude, their loyalty, and their support, and I call upon every Negro, north and south, east and west, whatever his calling may be, to unite in prayers to God for Foraker. I ask of them united and devoted support for Senator Foraker. All of the old guard of the republican party in the senate—Spooner, Lodge, Allison, Frye and Teller—were dumb and as silent as clams when Foraker was standing up for the protection of the American people, and I want to show how the newspapers of the land have educated away from us the lawmakers: Do any man believe that Cabot Lodge, Teller and Spooner would have allowed the president of the United States to disgrace three companies of white soldiers, without a trial, without having had something to say in behalf of the white soldiers?

Nearly four years ago, a Mr. Nevels offered his services to go out and collect funds for this purpose, promising to make bi-monthly reports and to bring his soliciting book at least once per year for inspection. He was to receive 40% commission for his labor. He has been out for nearly four years and has not, during this time, presented his book for inspection, and has kept 60% of the payment received. I record to my record, which has been carefully kept, have received only $190 during the entire time. Therefore, I recall all authority given by me to the said George R.

[Image of two women with long hair, one facing left and the other facing right, with neutral expressions.] When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

The man is wearing a hat and a suit, while the woman is wearing a dress and a hat. You won't tell your family doctor the whole story about your private illness—you are too modest. You need not be afraid to tell Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., the things you could not explain to the doctor. Your letter will be held in the strictest confidence. From her vast correspondence with sick women during the past thirty years she may have gained the very knowledge that will help your case. Such letters as the following, from grateful women, establish beyond a doubt the power of LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND to conquer all female diseases. Mrs. Norman R. Barnett, of Allentown, Pa, writes: “Ever since I was sixteen years of age I had suffered from an organic derangement and female weakness; in consequence I had dreadful headaches and it was hard for theician said I must go through an operation to get well. A friend told me about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I took it and wrote you for advice, following your directions and advice. I go to a well woman, and I am telling all my friends of my experience.” FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female illis, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulence, indigestion, dizziness, or nervous prostration. WOES OF THE QUERY EDITOR. Little Wonder the Poor Man Is Gray Before His Time. The "Answers to Correspondents" man, feverishly rummling the hair that his duties had too soon made gray, tossed a letter on the table. "An exwidow of 30," he groaned, "says she loves her second husband better than her first. She wants to know if this is wicked or un-Christian." He sneered and ripped open another letter. Then he said: "A Methodist minister has too large a nose. What is he to do? What, indeed?" He read a third letter. "Here's a girl," he said, "who wants to know in what winter resort hotel she will meet the largest number of eligible bachelors." "Reggle," he went on, "asks me the best way to avoid the effects of heavy drinking. I'll tell him, I suppose, to avoid heavy drinking. "Is it possible, Charles inquires, 'to tell when a black man blushes?' The Simple Life Abe, a light mulatto, called upon a minister for whom he had formerly worked. "Yo know, boss, Ise gwine be married nex week," he admitted haltingly, according to Lippincott's Magazine. "Tse gwine to marry Miss May Felicity Johnson, an' May she say she wants ter be married jus' like white folks." "All right, Abe, I'll marry you if you want," the minister replied. "How much you gwine charge?" "It will cost you $5 to be married like white folks." Abe scratched his head. "Guess we'll hab ter be married like colored folks, then," he said. "You see, boss, we's goin' to housekeepin', an' I ain't got but $8." Took Two to Beat Her. Timkins—Your wife seems to be quite a talker. Simkins—You bet she is.

AS YET UNKNOWN TO FAME. Can Any One Place This Quotation from Philosophy? Louis Jones of the Grand opera house had the blues. His brother, a colored man, usually in good humor, had 'em, too. Neither knew just why he had 'em, but they had 'em just the same. They talked of the weather, the times and a dozen other gloomy subjects. There was nothing sunny in the soul of a patron or a barber. Finally both sighed in concert and a silence fell over the shop—yes, over a barber shop. The colored man was the first to speak. After several moments of silence he gave vent to another sigh and said: "Well, as de old philosopah says: 'Et yo' ain't got nothin', now's yo time." Jones is still wondering who the philosopher was—Indianapolis News. IN BUG HOLLOW. Dr. Moth—What's the matter? Artie Ant—I think I must have eaten too many marshmallows over at the swamp party. Making things appear to prove what we want them to prove, is one way; having them prove what they do prove is another way. PURE FOOD. No Food Commissioner of Any State Has Ever Attacked the Absolute Purity of Grape-Nuts. Every analysis undertaken shows this food to be made strictly of Wheat and Barley, treated by our processes to partially transform the starch parts into a form of Sugar, and therefore much easier to digest. Our claim that it is a "Food for Brain and Nerve Centres" is based upon the fact that certain parts of Wheat and Barley (which we use) contain Nature's brain and nerve-building ingredients, viz.: Phosphate of Potash, and the way we prepare the food makes it easy to digest and assimilate. Dr. Geo. W. Carey in his book on "The Biochemic System of Medicine" says: "When the medical profession fully understands the nature and range of the phosphate of potassium, insane asylums will no longer be needed. "The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, potassium phosphate. "This salt unites with alumen, and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve-fluid, or the gray matter of the brain." "Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve-fluid," but potassium phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life. Therefore, when nervous symptoms arise, due to the fact that the nerve-fluid has been exhausted from any cause, the phosphate of potassium is the only true remedy, because nothing else can possibly supply the deficiency. "The ills arising from too rapidly consuming the gray matter of the brain cannot be overestimated. "Phosphate of Potash, is to my mind, the most wonderful curative agent ever discovered by man, and the blessings it has already conferred on the race are many. But 'what shall the harvest be' when physicians everywhere fully understand the part this wonderful salt plays in the processes of life? It will do as much as can be done through physiology to make a heaven on earth. "Let the overworked business man take it and go home good-tempered. Let the weary wife, nerves unstrugh from attending to sick children or entertaining company, take it and note how quickly the equilibrium will be restored and calm and reason assert her throne. No 'provings' are required here. We find this potassium salt largely predominates in nerve-fluid, and that a deficiency produces well-defined symptoms. The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies—this is the only law of cure." Please observe that Phosphate of Potash is not properly of the drug-shop variety but is best prepared by "Old Mother Nature" and stored in the grains ready for use by mankind. Those who have been helped to better health by the use of Grape-Nuts are legion. Increased by Proper Feeding. A lady writer who not only has done good literary work, but reared a family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. She writes: "I am an enthusiastic proclaimer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I formerly had no appetite in the morning and for 8 years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them. "Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, doughnuts or anything I happened to find. Being a writer, at times my head felt heavy and my brain asleep. "When I read of Grape-Nuts I began eating it every morning, also gave it to the children, including my 10 months old baby, who soon grew as fat as a little pig, good natured and contented." "I wrote evenings and feeling the need of sustained brain power, began eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk, instead of my usual indigestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night. "I grew plump, nerves strong, ans when I wrote my brain was active and clear: indeed, the dull head pain never returned." POSTUM CEREAL CO., Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich. LINCOLN, THE EMANCIPATOR. ANNIVERSARY OF HIS BIRTH WAS FITTINGLY OBSERVED. Political Organizations in Many Cities Honored the Memory of the War President. Grand Rapids, Mich. — The Lincoln club banquet here last night was a brilliant success. It was held in the furniture exposition building and m more than 2,000 persons occupied seats at the table. The hall was elaborately decorated, and as a compilation to Ambassador Jusserand, of France, colors were mingled with the American. United States Senator William Alden Smith was toastmaster. The speakers were Ambassador Jusserand, Congressman George Foss, Secretary of War Taft, Gov. Guild, of Massachusetts, and Director John Barrett, of the American republics at Washington. Detroit, Mich. — Melville E. Ingalls, of Cincinnati, chairman of the board of the Big Four railroad, made the address of the evening at the banquet last night of the Bankers' Club of Detroit. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, who early Ypsilanti, 35 miles away, was hurried into the city in a special car and made a brief talk to the bankers. Pittsburg, Pa. - With four United States senators, as many congressmen and several hundred of the most prominent business men of the Pittsburg district in attendance, the annual Lincoln birthday banquet of the Pittsburg chamber of commerce was held at the Hotel Schenley here last night. The dinner was very successful and the chief address was delivered by Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania. The other speakers and guests were Dr. John H. Carter, Montana; Dr. Thomas H.

STARCH MIXER EXPLODED. Five Men Killed and a Property Loss of $100,000 at Providence, R. I. Providence, R. I. — Five persons are believed to have been killed by the explosion of a mixer in the starch factory of C. S. Tanner late Wednesday afternoon. Three other persons were injured. Their counterpart was not serious. The building was badly wrecked by the explosion, and fire followed completed the work of destruction. The dead: Richard Gomes. John Dautt. Tony — Mike — All these were workmen. Another man, A. L. Chase, who was in a chandery store which occupied a corner of the building, is missing and is supposed to be buried in the ruins. Three colored men who were passing the building at the time were hit by a mortar and also suffered from burns to the tittles of hot starch, which was sprinkled liberally about the neighborhood. The cause of the explosion remains to be determined. Mr. Tanner intimated that it may have been due to a spark from defective electric light wiring igniting the starch mixer prematurely. In the room when the explosion occurred were the four workmen, Dr. Duft, and the man known only as Tony and Mike. It is supposed that they were instantly killed and their bodies incinerated by the fire. The property loss is $100,000. Congress.

I had two physicians, but they only gave me relief for a short time and I cannot enumerate the outtents and lotions I used to no purpose. My ankles were one mass of sores. The itching and burning were so intense that I could not sleep. I could not walk for nearly four months. One day my husband said I had better try the Cuticura Remedies. After using them three times I had the best night's rest in months unless I took an opiate. I used one set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and my ankles healed in a short time.

Clean Walls Are an Essential to Sanitary Cooking. It is not only important to know how to cook, but it is equally important to know where to cook. Cooking in a dirty kitchen can never produce good food. The idea is simply preposterous, yet kitchen walls are left for months—sometimes for years without cleansing. In the first place the kitchen wall should have a light tint that the merest fleck of dirt can be seen; that the sheerest cobweb can be brushed away; that the tiniest water bug can be discerned. It is all folly expecting clean food in a kitchen with dirty walls. Never put a wall coating on a kitchen wall that is mixed with hot water or that has glue in it, or sour milk in it if mixed with cold water. Glue walls made from horses' hoofs colored up with cheap colorings do not indicate good housekeeping. The glue is constantly flecking off, falling into the food and the idea of food flavored with glue made from horses' hoofs is not appetizing. Kitchen walls to be thoroughly satisfactory should be alabastined the same as every other wall in the house. They should be coated regularly in the spring and fall of each year with a light tint. The care of the pantry requires constant attention. The walls should be brushed over every year, the dishes removed from the shelves which should be thoroughly wiped with hot water. If there are ant holes or any other insects in the pantries a thick putty of the wall coating can be made and all the ant holes, even small mice holes can be filled with it which will protect the pantry from the incursions of disagreeable insects and mice. STILL HAD USE FOR BOOTS. Kafir's Newly-Acquired Treasure Put to Queer Use. An army officer in charge of a native district in South Africa presented to the kafir boy who acted as his particular servant a pair of strong, heavily nailed army boots. The boy was delighted with the gift, and at once sat down and put the boots on. They were the very first pair he had ever had in his life, and for several days afterward he strutted proudly about the camp with them. But at the end of the week he appeared as usual with bare feet and the boots tied round his neck. "Hello!" said his master. "Why don't you wear your boots? Are they to small for you?" "Oh, no, sah," replied the kafir, "they plenty big. Berry nice boots, sah, but no good for walking or running. Make um fellah too much slow, sah. Keep boots now for wear in bed."—London Answers.
