Aprons For All Occasions 1910 THE BIGGEST RESPECT TWENTY-SEVEN Aprons For It is the modish thing at the moment to do a thiny apron for any number of occasions, and my lady of fashion would consider her summer wardrobe quite incomplete without at least a dozen of these dainty and useful accessories. For the summer, a garden apron is an absolute necessity. Though for good, stout service, it should not lack smartness, and often the trim neatness of these plain garments is chic in the extreme. The model in the sketch is of dark blue and white striped galathea with bands of plain blue. The big flower laden garden hats are invariably becoming, and lend quaint prettiness. One of the new French flower baskets, with the two side pockets for garden scissors and a ball of twine with which to tie up little nosegays, is a pleasing addition to the garden outfit. They are essentially French, these baskets, useful, to be sure, yet fetching. Chafting dish aprons are delightful bits of finery, all lace, sheer muslins and dainty ribbons. A pretty model is shown in the upper left corner of the sketch. Fine white batiste gores are joined by strips of valenciennes lace. The apron is edged with lace and beading, through which pink wash ribbon is run. The dots are done in pink silk. Another dainty affair is of white mull, embroidered in solid and eyelet embroidery, with medallions and edge of cluny blue and light blue ribb Bronze, Colored Leather and Suede Shoes Are Now in Great Demand. A late novelty in footwear is the bronze shoe, and there is a great demand for the colored leather in all styles. The pretty evening slipper of bronze is cut with a beaded toe. The smart pump for the afternoon is made with a short vamp and a low tongue. Serviceable shoes for street wear are finely finished with bronze buttons. Next to the bronze, the suede is the most popular, as it was during the summer. Many of the suede shoes are trimmed with a braid on the toes, matching the color of the kid. The braid is set in rows, giving the effect of self-stripes, and it adds, seemingly, to the slenderness of the shoe. Many women wear shoes to match their gowns, as the shoes can be procured in almost any color desired this summer. The suede and bronzes will remain in style during the entire fall and possibly into the early winter. Gibson ties are worn with the lightweight canvas shoes for morning. The ties are made of mercerized canvas. The latest canvas shoes have extension soles with Cuban heels, which give ease across the toes, yet are snug and well-fitting. New Garment for the Traveler. There is a new garment in the shops this year that is most convenient to travelers in sleeping cars. It is of black china silk, long enough to envelope the whole figure. It has a yoke, is belted down, and has a little black hood attached to it to cover the head when going to the dressing room. It is so light that it can be folded into small space and is most pretty and generally becoming. Hard to Mend Silk Skirts. Mending silk skirts is almost hopeless. When a favorite silk skirt is too far gone to fuss with it is sometimes possible to make from it a 12-inch ruffle which may be put on a sateen foundation or fastened to the inside of the skirt it matches. New Motor Coats. One of the best shades that is used in motor coats, which means all kinds of top coats, is of stone-gray silk mohair. The material is made up into a smart-looking affair with satin collar and cuffs and mother-of-pearl or smoked pearl buttons. Finishing Skirt Seams. Do not finish the seams of a skirt as a French seam. Either bind, overcast, or pink them. French seams are more suitable for underwear or shirt-waist. THE GAZETTE bon ties. Any number of attractive aprons may be made, using medallions of any kind of lace which is suited to washable articles. They may be in combination with crossbar or dotted muslin, and dots and flowers in colored or white embroidery. Usually the embroidery is done with mercerized cotton, though silk is very attractive. Many little fancy aprons are made of wash silk, and, though they are pretty, they lack the crisp daintiness of the lingerie creations. Handmade laces enter effectively into the makeup of fancy aprons, and one with princess lace is sketched. Edge and butterfly motifs form the decoration, while openwork dots enhance the delicate effect. To come to more practical aprons, there is the dusting apron of linen or crash, or even chambray, with half sleeves to match. A five-cent print answers admirably for this model, and such a one is shown in the sketch—a gray-blue with dark dots. The sleeves are made with an elastic at the top, and button around the wrist. The seam is *stitched only two-thirds of the way down*, so that the cuff may be turned back and held up by a button, should one wish to put the hands in water. An effective sewing apron is of very pale green linen, hemmed with an entre deux of Irish crochet, and feather-stitched in pink. The lower part of the apron is turned up and feather-stitched down in two rows, thus forming three convenient pockets. 1 The illustration to-day shows a pretty blouse made with a tucked chemisette and sleeves of cream chiffon and bands of lace insertion for trimming; the draperies and folds on the bodice are of soft silk, with handsome gulpure motifs connected with bars of button-hole work to form a bolero. Collar Supporters. To avoid sewing and resewing collar supporters on lingerie wrist, sew a piece of linen tape on each side of the collar from the shoulder seam up. Then cut a couple of slits in the center of tape so that the little whalebones can be slipped into place. When the waist is to be washed the whalebones can be taken out and after laundering they can be replaced without the necessity of stopping to sew on each time. Orange Color in Fashion Everywhere one sees pale yellow in gowns, wraps, and hats. Prophets preach a yellow season. Of all the shades on the shop shelves the most fashionable just now is orange. This is a dye that exactly matches the fruit. It is alluring in panne velvet for the long military cape, and is fetching used on huge white straw hats. It comes in linings to use under spotted and figured net gowns. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1909. A FIERCE ROAST HANDED THE AGE! DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S PAPER, FOR "MOCKING THE NEGRO." BY A WHITE MASSA- CHUSETTS EDITOR Who Was an Abolitionist—He Claims That the New York Paper Is Injuring the Race—How It Adds Insult to Injury, Etc. BLACKBURN'S RING CAREER: Hoosier Fighter Has Only One Defeat on Record—Sent to Penitentiary to serve a Long Term. When the lengthy "Jack" Blackburn of Indianapolis was given 15 years in a Pennsylvania penitentiary the other day, at Philadelphia, they stowed away the best welterweight boxer the world has ever seen. They had Jack dead to rights on the charge of manslaughter in a family quarrel, and his sentence was the result. Blackburn is a Kentucky man and the deceased only 28 years old. He was first discovered as a good boxer in Indianapolis, although the greater part of his fighting was done in the east, where he was a great favorite. Think of this fellow, who could do 135 pounds with ease, having such names as "Jim Bounty", Jack O'Brien, Tony Bounty, George Clement, Jack Tucker, Tucker and George Cole and a dozen other giants in his record. Think of this slender youth slip of a fellow, a lightweight to all intents and purposes, but with the courage born of 200 pounds, with against the toughest of the universe and getting away with it! When we read stories about how sharp matchmaking has been made with heavyweights, and whipped them without as much as batting an eye. He declared that had he been a white man he would never have thought of such a thing, but because of a few, as he put it, the whites would have nothing to do with him, and he was forced to take on such matches as he could find. He couldn't starve, and that is what would have happened to him had he waited, he said, for the fair-skinned warriors of the ring to meet him. Jack has only one defeat in his record, and that was a shade more obtained over him in the fight with Gans, own town, back in March, 1904 in a 15-round battle that was a marvel of viciousness and hardhitting skill. Soon after that Jack cooked his own goose as far as the light and welterweights were concerned by cleanly besting Jimmy Gardner, the Lowell star, in a 12-round battle in Boston, where Jimmy would have been favored had there been a fight by threw himself at all comers. He took them on as fast as they could stand up to him and never once did he meet a man that could trim him or even hold his own with him. Among his other victims was Dick Fitzpatrick, who went east to tackle him. Dick was knocked stiff as a wedge in two rounds. About a year ago Jack tackled Fred Bradley, a New England heavyweight of some pretensions to class, and applied the same medicine to him, knocking him out completely in the second round. He was a tall, five feet ten inches in height, he is decidedly slender and only a few months ago—in November, 1908—made 135 pounds for George Memmic in Philadelphia and cut the Bohemian fighter into ribbons in a six-round go. He had little muscular development, but he had the knack of biting down to such perfection that his jolts carried the force of those administered by a heavyweight. He could stiffen his arm and on land on a man's jaw in a war that he was as badly staggered in the dark. Thus by this sentence is lost to purification one of its greatest exponents. But he was a black man and got few chances.—Philadelphia Record. THE O. S. AND S. O. HOME. Color-Line Should be Wiped Out at Once-Encephalitis veterans Opposed to it. Fremont, O.—The Seventy-second O. V. i. veterans (white) of the war of the rebellion, convened here late last week in G. A. R. hall. Possibly the most unexpected discussion was the one started by Capt. Reese, concerning the separation of the white and colored children at the O. S. and A. M. schools. Capt. Reese said he believed a motion should be made that the regiment as a body oppose the action of the officer in charge in separating the children at the Xenia home. After much discussion favorable to the motion, Dr. J. D. Bemis, one of the trustees of the institution, brought the matter clearly to the attention of the organization, have taken no action in this matter but the superintendent, E. D. Sawyer, who is a new man, has separated the children as an experiment. There have been from 30 to 40 colored children in the school since the organization ever been made before. In closing, Dr. Bemis said the institution had always in located race coloration. The question will come up before the meeting of the board of trustees this week a 1 Dr. Bemis said he would be govemed by the opinion and action of the board on the motion to which was added the clause t at Dr. Bemis, the trustee from this school, should, in presenting this motion, add that it was the unanimous vote of the soldiers at this reunion, that the children not be separated. Superintendent Sawyer, in an address to the Board and Gazette September 4, the motion to which was added for the separation of the children and took the initiative, and not the trustees. He even put in a colored matron over them without consulting the trustees or Gov. Harmon. The concensus of opinion among the col- SERMON ON FAITH AND PROMISE Lack of Regard for These and for Principles Involved in Political and Other Important Racial Action. Write Causes the the Loss of Prestige. Is it any wonder that we are losing prestige in the political arena out here in the east end, when it comes to the betterment of race conditions? Race leaders ought to be sincere, no matter what they are up against. If we would have success, we must have confidence and the most important part of all, is faith in God. Faith is the rock upon which not only political but all social institutions are founded. It is in fact the only tie that links men together in society. What is the election of a president, of a king, or of a magistrate, but words that are kept, words followed by actions? What is commerce, what business, what buying, paying, renting, but words and promises followed by fulfillment. It is the fulfillment of promises, contracts and obligations incurred that keeps society together. Fail to maintain such contracts, and no obligations will be made, no engagements will be entered into; there will be no trust, no confidence, no production, no industry, in the land, no society. All contracts, business, social and political relations presuppose natural morality, veracity, and honesty. Men who lack this natural morality and truthfulness cannot form any kind of society, and if they are admitted to an existing one, they become in it a decomposing element. There are out in the east end a few old men and men of the race who stand for principle. The race cannot buy them with money or promises. You must deliver the goods. ANDREW McSPADDEN, 1490 East Ninety-seventh Street, City Marrying Our Women. New Orleans, La.—She's my wife. We have lived together 38 years. The wife is a lawyer. The spouse Joseph Lawrence, a white farmer, in the second criminal court August 24, while he was awaiting trial on the charge of marrying a Negro. Through the arrest of Lawrence and his wife the police discovered an unusual situation. All around Lee station the white farmers and fishermen and other classes have intermarried with our people and reared large families, regardless of the Louisiana law against such a number of artisans have made, but it has been possible to convict one for the reason that the whites all went on the stand and swore they were colored. Just what the prosecuting attorney can do remains to be seen. They Punished White Brute! Spartanburg, S. C.—infurited by the attack of a white brute on a young girl of the race, Afro-Americans of a thickly settled neighborhood about two miles from this city Saturday seized the girl's assailant and after administering a severe whipping forced him to leave the county. The sheer violence of the attack went to the scene of the trouble to avert a threatened riot.

Unlike all other people, the so-called big ones and leaders are the most traitorous and disloyal to the enterprises and purposes of the race. Open a grocery store, meat market, clothing house; commence the practice of law or medicine, operate a printing plant, or white man will cater to a Negro, you will find the so-called leading Negro doing his d—dest to turn all the money he can control into the coffers of the white man, while at the same time howling about love for the race. This rotting at the top—this aping royalty by black professional putons is the eye-sore of the enlightened world. For these creatures the Dallas Express has never had any feeling except one of utter contempt, and until the race makes these scultures pay, the Negro will increase to the detriment and damnation of the people upon whom they subsist.

AFRO-AMERICAN AT NORTH POLE It seems that no white man went with Peary to the pole. Aside from his Eskimo helpers, he had only one companion there, and that man was of African blood, if his ancestry is traced for enough back. "Matt" Henson has been Peary's trusted and trustworthy companion in many expeditions to the pole, wilderness. He is absolutely devoted to his beloved Peary. His love and endurance were proved long ago. After sent back all of his white companions, one after another, he kept Henson with him, and at the climax of the explorer's long struggle to reach the pole Henson was at his side. There is a lesson in this fact for those who are shallow and careless enough to argue that the colored race in America can never flourish away from the warmth of the south. One of the choices he made was "Matt" Henson's prowess in the polite wastes directs attention to the common ability of his race to keep well and strong in cold weather and work with ease and power in even an arctic climate. Anyone who takes notice of the conditions around him can find plenty of evidence, in any large city of the north, that colored men and women make light of the cold of northern winters if they are well clothed and used and have a fair chance against the rigors of the season. Man is a wonderful animal in his capacity for adapting himself to almost any climate and any method of warming, and accustomed to cold, bleak surrounding him with much warmer regions. Natives of the tropics can gradually take root in the far north and enjoy long life and abundant health and strength there, and are wonderful exception to a rule. He is more nearly a type...Cleveland Leader. THAT SOUTH AFRICAN "UNION." The draft constitution for a federation of the states of South Africa (p. 848) has passed both houses of the British parliament without amendment, amendments preserving rights of franchise to the natives being voted down in both houses. As passed, the colonies have been enfranchised in either house of the new South African parliament "to persons of European descent;" and refuses the right to vote to the black and colored men of all of the states except Cape Colony, where for the present the colonies are governed with the provision that it may later be taken away by a two-thirds majority of the South African parliament. Mr. Asquith is reported as having said that there was no one in England who, if it had rested with him to draw up the South African constitution, would have inserted a clause invidiously debarring a man by confidence reposed in him by his fellow citizens. The house of common accepted Mr. Asquith's further view that, having placed its opinion on record, it was better to leave the matter to the spontaneous and unfettered judgment of self-governing South Africa. Mr. Asquith was ever conscious of his "confident hope and almost expectation that the new union legislature would see its way without unreasonable delay to remove this color bar."—Chicago Public.

DuBOIS Calls Attention to the Annual Address Adopted by the Niagara Movement at Sea Isle City, N. J., August 18, 1909—It is a Strong One. For four years the Niagara Movement has struggled to make 10,000,000 Americans of Negro descent cease from mere apology and weak surrender to aggression, and take a firm unfaltering stand for justice, manhood and self-assertion. We are accumulating property at a constantly accelerating rate; we are rapidly lowering our rate of illiteracy, but property and intelligence are of little use unless guided by the great ideals of Freedom, Justice and Human Brotherhood. As a partial result of our effort, we are glad to note among us increasing spiritual unrest, sterner impatience with cowardice and deeper determination to be men at any cost, and greater development within, there continues without unceasing effort to discourage and proscribe us. We not only travel in public ignominy and discomfort, but at the instance of some of our weak-kneed leaders, the interstate commerce commission has recently sought to make a pitiful apology for the abuse to work is questioned not only by some who are attempting to fight the great battles of labor, but even by those very people who declare us fit for nothing else. We are glibly to deserve before we complain; yet those of us who do deserve are proscribed along with the leader by men who know that ability and demeanor is necessary freedom and power. Such power we must have: Political power, economic power, power of mind. We had enough political power to rebuke the president who blundered at Brownsville and was too stubborn to say so; we still have enough power to rebuke the president who proposes to turn competent black students into daily pictures of which any white man wants. We have this power now, but unless we use it we shall lose it. Our organized enemies seek to scare and vilify us while they despoil us. We have fewer criminals than our systematic training in crime warfare, and we have daily pictures as thugs and murderers lynched without trial for the crime of any scamp who blacks his face. Peonage and prejudice are used to keep our wages low and education is proposed to fit us only for menal service. We men forget that the wages of white Americans cannot permanently rise far above the wages of black Americans, and do they not know that the half-drunken senator who can to-day slap a black laborer's face may to-morrow mickle white laborers down stairs? And yet who too often lead the fight against us? Poor and ignorant men, who richer and more intelligent on who hide behind the mob and fatten on its deeds. Small wonder that Negro disfranchisement is practically coincident with those regions where white ignorance, political fraud and murder are greatest. That black men are inherently inferior to white men is a wide-spread lie which is contradictory, and the attempt to submerge the owed races is one with world-old efforts of the工 to exploit the weak. We must therefore make common cause with the oppressed and downtrodden of all races and peoples; with our kindred of South Africa and West Indies, with our fellows in Mexico, and with the cause of working-classes everywhere. On us rests to no little degree the burden of the cause of individual freedom, human brotherhood, and universal peace in a day when America is forgetting her promise and destiny. Let us work on and never despair because pigny wealth are loudly praising ill-gotten wealth, big guns and human rights on the Tide of Time. The causes of God cannot be lost. W. E. B. DuHOIS. General Secretary. German Girls Fond of Negroes. Berlin, Germany, Aug. 28.—The discovery is made that numbers of German girls in good society are in love with Negroes who have come from the German colonies in Africa to be educated here. So serious are the rumors afloat that the Kolmische Zelof学会 its mouthpiece chosen as a government mouthpiece, issues this warning: "All newspapers are informed that many German girls of fine parentage are in love with Negroes who are being educated here. These have given the girls addresses of others who are being educated in schools of the colonies. With these the girls keep up a lively correspondence, making the pretence that they are collecting postage stamps. When they are not in the society of their African sweet-hearts here, the young women write to them constantly. This infatuation is the widespread. It calls to us the colonial exhibition of 1896, where German women and girls displayed great admiration for Negroes from the Cameroons and other colonies."

All communications should be addressed: HARKY C. SMITH Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1903 1898 to 1903 1900 to 1903 Cleveland, O. September 18, 1909. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The Niagara Movement's "Address to the Country," is an exceptionally concisely written and excellent statement of facts of prime interest to every member of the race. Read it carefully. Colonel Henshaw chapter (white), D. A. R. Leicester, Mass., is to erect a memorial to Peter Salem, a Negro soldier and hero of the Revolution and for many years a settler in the south part of the town on the road which is known as "Peter Salem's road." If we will not fully honor our heroes in the proper way or manner, it seems that some of our white friends in the east are going to do so for some of them at least. Two St. Louis daily newspapers, the Republic and the Globe-Democrat—the one Democratic and the other Republican—simultaneously announce editorially that at the expiration of Senator Dick's term Mr. Foraker will be found a very active participant in the work of choosing a successor. It is even intimated that Mr. Foraker may himself be a candidate. While Ohio's greatest statesman may become active, he will never be a candidate to succeed Senator Dick unless the latter and the great majority of Ohio Republicans insist upon it. There is no doubt in the mind of any sensible person in or out of Ohio but that Senator Foraker is needed in the United States senate, greatly needed. WHAT CONSTITUTES DEMAGOGUE-ISM? Defining the term demagogue for an inquiring reader, the Chicago American of Aug. 24, says in fine: "The demagogue PROPERLY defined, is one who uses his influence over the people, to harm the people, one who plays upon the passions, their anger and their sense of wrong, for his own benefit, with no real intention of helping them. * * * "The best sample of demagogue that we have today is the professional politician, the man who works up a false enthusiasm at election time, who writes a lying platform that neither he nor the candidates believe, who tries to use the ignorance and credulity and listlessness of voters to promote his own interest." Under the definition of the first sentence or phrase, quite a number of prominent Americans can be counted as demagogues, notably of late, our three greatest politicians, Bryan, Hearst and—well—he's absent just now! Among the best samples of demagogue-ism, according to the concise definition of the "American," comes, unfortunately, a man in as high a position as that of chief executive of the American Republic, President Taft, for he either wrote or had written, most assuredly sanctioned and adopted, a "platform, that neither he nor the candidates believe, I. e., act up to after the election. The most ardent admirer of Wm. H. Taft will find it impossible to reconcile the president's political actions, as evinced in his "southern policy," with the plain language of the platform as concerns "the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution," regarding which, as to letter and spirit, the platform of the Republicans at Chicago was very decided. But alas, so far, Taft's actions do not tally with the platform promises. Ergo, he is by the definition, a "demagogue." THE O. S. & S. O. HOME COLOR LINE. Judging from all we have been able to learn, from publications in recent issues of The Gazette, letters from the superintendent (Col. Edward D. Sawyer of this city), trustees of the Home, the Colored matron and inmates there and our correspondent in that city, a very harmful, unnecessary and uncalled-for color-line has been drawn by the superintendent of the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors' Orphans Home, located at Xenia, this state, in the placing, for the first time in the history of that well-known and heretofore well-conducted institution, of all of our girl-inmates in a cottage to themselves with a Colored matron, and this too, without the knowledge or the consent of the board of trustees or Governor Harmon. We do not believe that Col. Sawyer, whom we have known for years, did this with other than good intentions, and yet he has made a SERIOUS mistake which we believe he will not hesitate to undo just as soon as he can well do so. The effect of such an act is wide-spread and most harmful not only to the Afro-American inmates of the Home but to all members of the race in the state and this country. This is especially true in these days of increased prejudice in almost all avenues of public life. it establishes a bad precedent which this grand old state of ours should not be forced to stand for even in this backward day and time when entirely too little is heard of "the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God."

I never heard so many long-winded conversations going on at one time."

Such paint protects and preserves, fortifying the perishable wood with a complete metallic casing. And the outside of the house is the looks of the house. A well-constructed ed building may be greatly depreciated by lack of painting or by poor painting. National Lead Company have made it possible for every building owner to be absolutely sure of pure white lead paint before applying. They do this by putting upon every package of their white lead their Dutch Boy Painter trademark. That trademark is a complete guarantee. A Useful Baby.

The growth of our schools in the south was dwelt upon by Rev. James Edward Mason, who was in the city when he was a student. He funds for the rebuilding of the girls' dormitory of Livingstone college, a Zion A. M. E. institution, located at Salisbury, N. C. Miss Victoria Richardson, a resident of this city many years ago, and a resident of Saybrook, was for many years a member of the faculty of Livingstone college. The Daily Recorder of September 11 contained the following: "Harry Brooks, a black face performer with a fund of rich etiopian comedy, had the audience at the beautiful new National theater in an uproar with his natural delivery of puns not heard before." Brooks and his wife are at the "Venus," and a theater on East Fifth Street near the week, meeting the esteemed and well-known artist, is an exceptionally good comedian of large experience and knows his business thoroughly. They have The Gazette's best wishes. The Eastern Ohio conference of the A. M. e. church, Rev Chas, Bundy, P. E., will convene in St. John's church next week. Rt. Rev W. B. Derrick, bishop of this district, will preside. Rumor has it that the latter and Mrs. Jones of Chicago, a sister of Rev John Henderson, now temporarily residing in Oberlin with his mother and sister, Miss Willa A. A.queserro, from to to ed. The Henderson were originally residents of Ashland, Ohio. Bishop Derrick's wife died a year or more ago at their home in Flushing, L. I. N. Y. Rev Henderson has pastored A. M. e. churches in New York city, Columbus, Erle and Zeke J. Jones, forty-eight, 3628 Central avenue, a man of good reputation, fired the contents of a shotgun into his body, just as two policemen, who had been sent for by his wife, were about to enter the house Wednesday morning. He died instantly. Jones, who for 18 years had been a farmer at Wilmington, Ohio, for his farm, months to months, for $1,800, and moved to the house with his wife and three children. Lately he had been despondent and acting queerly, and so when his wife on returning from a store Wednesday morning saw him in the kitchen with a shotgun, she telephoned for the police. When Lieutenant Anderson and Patrolman Evans were entering the house, the fatal shot was fired. The body was removed to Hasenpflug's morgue. Jones left a note requesting that he be buried at Millageville and that the chancellor of the university H. of which he was a member be notified. The sum of $1,100, which he was known to have had, is supposed to be in a Cleveland bank. Councilman George Lowe of the Twelfth ward is gradually succeeding in his efforts to purchase additional ground for the Marion-Central avenue public play-grounds and to erect a new playground and to add several other much-needed improvements to the grounds. He is also working on the greatly-needed street between Cedar and Central avenues between East Twenty-second and East Twenty-eighth streets that Sheriff Hirstus when he was mayor cut through because some prejudiced residents of Cedar avenue objected, on the ground that our people would use it and "might peep into their windows." Mr. Lowe is one of the oldest residents of that section of the city and needs our people, among whom he has lived all his life, and on the most friendly terms, too, but also has the courage of his convictions. He will not give in to a baneful and inexcusable prejudice as Hirstus did. The Twelfth ward has needed a live counter in long time, a public praise worthy so soon after his taking office is certainly a most agreeable innovation. Keep it up, George! Ban on Fictitious Letters Findlay, O.—It was announced here recently that all mail known to be addressed under fictitious names will be held up at post offices in the future. This ruling is said to be intended especially for young girls and boys who get their mail at the general delivery window unknown to their parents. These letters will be stamped fictitious and sent to the dead letter office. Every effort will be made to break up the practice and reduce the amount of mail handled through the general delivery window. Club Papers Corrected or written on any subject.

Ask Her This Question "Do you know of any woman who ever received any benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?" If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experience with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write and ask her. Houston, Texas.—"When I first began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but nothing did me any good. "For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when I read an advertisement of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. "My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. "I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't regret it, for it will surely cure you."—Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks, 819 Cleveland St., Houston. Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks. 4 True Thrift. "When visiting a certain town in the Midlands," says a medical man, "I was told of an extraordinary incident wherein the main figure, an economical housewife, exhibited, under trying circumstances, a trait quite characteristic of her. It seems that she had by mistake taken a quantity of poison—mercurial poison—the antidote for which, as all should know, comprises the whites of eggs. When this antidote was being administered, the order for which the unfortunate lady had overheard, she managed to murmur, although almost unconscious. "Mary Mary! Save the yolks for the puddings!"—Tit-Bits. SIX MONTHS. Mrs. Bill—Now, tell me at once—where have you been all this time? Bill — Why, dear, it hasn't been long. Mrs. Bill—How dare you tell me that?

The old Greeks and Romans were great admirers of health and strength; their pictures and statuary made the muscles of the men stand out like cords. As a matter of fact we have athletes and strong men—men fed on fine strength making food such as Quaker Oats—that would win in any contest with the old Roman or Greek champions. It's a matter of food. The finest food for making strength of bone, muscle and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker Oats is the best because it is pure, no husks or stems or black specks. Farmers' wives are finding that by feeding the farm hands plentifully on Quaker Oats they get the best results in work and economy.

Practical Fashions LADIES' SEMI-PRINCESS DRESS. - Paris Pattern No. 2992. All Seams Allowed.—A new feature of this simple model is the center-back box-plain, which extends from shoulders to hem. This is accomplished by cutting the back of the waist and the back gore of the skirt in one piece, the stitching continuing to about five inches below the waist line.

STREET AND NO..... STATE.... French Wives Complacent. The average French wife is a complacent creature. A member of the chamber of deputies has been trying to assist the wives, but they have offered him no encouragement. He was ambitious to reform the whole national scheme in the relation of husbands and wives, but now is inclined to give it up as a bad job. He thought it would be well to start with the wage-carning wife, who, as soon as she is paid, must turn her money over to her husband. Under this legal arrangement the wife cannot own a cent of her earnings and, as might be expected, frequently the husband is a rake and squanders his wife's money as well as his own. The deputy wanted the law changed, and he is still battling for it, but his chances of success are slim, as he has failed completely to rally the wives to his aid. Apparently, they are satisfied with the existing condition, which financially at least, makes them slaves. The deputy believes the French woman has suffered so long under the injustice that she has lost the instinctive care of her own inter- THE TROUBLE. "Don't take it so hard," said the sympathetic friend; "remember that though your daughter is married you have not lost her." "I know it," sobbed the bride's mother. "That's the trouble. Julia and her husband have already picked out the best room in the house for theirs." CUTICURA CURED HIM. Eczema Came on Legs and Ankles Could Not Wear Socks Because Of Bad Scaling and Itching. "I have been successfully cured of dry eczema. I was inspecting the removal of noxious weeds from the edge of a river and was constantly in the dust from the weeds. At night I cleansed my limbs but felt a prickly sensation. I paid no attention to it for two years but I noticed a scum on my legs like fish scales. I did not attend to it until it came to be too itchy and sore and began getting two running sores. My ankles were all sore and scabby and I could not wear shoes. I had to use carpet and felt slippers for weeks. I got a cake of the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment. In less than ten days I could put on my boots and in less than three items I was free from the confounded itching. Capt. George P. Bliss, Chief of Police, Morris, Manitoba, Mar. 20, 1907, and Sept. 24, 1908." Women in Postal Service Women in Postal Service. The distinction of first appointing a woman postmaster does not belong to America, nor is the employment of women in the postal service new idea. As early as 1548 a woman postmaster was appointed to look after the mails of Brine le Comte, an important town of France. In the trying times of the 'Thirty Years' war, the principal office in the postal service of Europe was held by a woman, Alexandrine de Rue. From 1628 to 1646 she was iff charge of the mails of the German empire, the Netherlands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She was known as a master general of the mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey was the first to hold a place in the postal department. She had charge of the letters in Portsmouth, N. H., in the beginning of the seventeenth century. A half century afterward Lydia Hill was placed in charge of the post-office in Salem, Mass. The Doctors' Orders A lady whose husband seemed to be doing little but lie in the hammock and eat apples, was asked by a sympathetic neighbor what the trouble with him was. "Doctors," she replied, sadly. "No, he hasn't come into a fortune." A writer in To-Day's Magazine tells the story. "You see," explained the wife, "he's been having some sort of matter with his stomach, and he consulted two different doctors about it. One told him to eat a ripe apple every hour, and the other said to rest an hour after eating. So he's trying to do both." An Arbitrary Classification. "So you think every patriot has a more or less clearly defined ambition to hold office?" "Yes," answered Senator Sorghum. "As a rule, patriots may be divided into two classes—the appointed and the disappointed." Many a woman nags her husband until she either brings him to her way of thinking or drives him to drink. First Lady — Your husband has merely fainted. Second Ditto—Dear, dear! these men always do things by halves. At a rose competition in Paris recently, 69 entirely new varieties of roses were exhibited. PRESSED HARD Coffee's Weight on Old Age. When prominent men realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools in North Carolina says: "My mother since her early childhood, was an inverate coffee drinker and had been troubled with her heart for a number of years, and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making an official visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of the coffee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family liked it so well, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. "I know Postum has benefited my self and the other members of the family, but not in so marked a degree as in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing." Read "The Road to Wellville," in plugs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human Physicians Recommend Castoria Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quits the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health.

Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Tatt, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J. McCram, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Charles H. Hitchter.
