The American Negro is at the Important point in History- Making Days. What Road Will He Choose? VOL. XI. A CRUCICA The American Negro is at the Making Days. What After forty years of freedom in a Biblical land, surrounded on every hand by schools, colleges and academies; in a constitutional republic and in the very heart of the world's commercial arena, we find the American Negro having to his credit the greatest and most wonderful progress of any race which has ever been made by freedmen in the whole history of civilized nations. From the slave he has arisen and now occupies a seat in every congregation of art, learning and trade—he has spent his day as an apprentice and stands forth today as master of his choosen calling. From every hilltop and from every valley they come—he is indeed at the turning point—the most important point in the history of any race or people. He has two roads from which to choose—the one will carry him to higher and more commanding positions—the other will lower him from his present position. Which will he take? We all know which we would like to see him take—but time alone will say which he has taken. Right at this period requires the most conservative minds, the most sincere work, the most relentless instruction to steer the race in the proper channel—this is no time for insincerity or bickering—but requires earnestness and soberness to properly accomplish this most strenuous task. Never since the first Afro-American were landed on American soil in 1619 has there been such ceaseless, heated and diversified discussion about the American Negro, his progress and his future as is heard on every hand to-day. All this discussion is not meaningless—it seems that the whole civilized world has just awakened to the real facts as to who the Negro is—and what he has been doing. In order to hold their position under such constant bombardment —pro and con—the American Negro—must put his best efforts forward and grasp the situation with irony hands. This is, indeed, the crucical point in the American Negros' history. With the many philosophers with their varied schemes and isms for and against the race, it is a perplexing problem to deal with. Most assuredly it is a condition and not a theory which confronts us. We cannot theorize and deal successfully with them, but we must meet them as all other conditions are met, face to face, manfully, unflinchingly and resolutely. That the Negro holds his own destiny in the hollow of his own hand—the skeptical agree. There is no race outside of the Negro race, that has the adaptability to produce the proper course to the future up-lifting of the Negro race—the innate characteristics of the Negro race readily convinces that if the Negro is to be up-lifted—he must be up-lifted by himself. While other races may, can and will most substantially assist—the real work must be done by the Negro himself. In accomplishing this great work of race progression—the race must have the ability to distinguish between good advice and clandestine advice. The one will prove and everlasting benefit to the race, while the other will prove an eternal injury. The Negro race and the leaders should in every way possibls cultivate a friendly feeling with the dormant race—the Caucasian—with whom and amongst whom they must live. This good feeling will quite materially advance the possibilities of the race to that heights to which the race now aspires. In his dealings the Negro should not attempt to deal on the narrow basis of race but should consider all men on the broad basis of manhood and merit, and not only should he deal in that way with other men but he should insist that other men deal with him on a similar basis. We are all Americans and should be dealt with in that manner. False doctrines and false teachers have done more to hold the race back than any other one thing since they began the march to progress, let us weed out the false and maintain the true. As a citizen the Negro is entitled to all the privilege and advantages vouchsafe to any other citizen and by his bold stand for manhood and merit he will secure these.—Wichita Searchlight.

State Federation Of Colored Women's Clubs Hold Interesting Session in Pueblo. The second annual convention of the Colorado State Federation of Colored Women's clubs convened in Pueblo, Colo., at 9 a. m., Thursday, June 15th, in St. Johns A. M. E. church and lasted two days. A large number of delegates from Denver and Colorado Springs were in attendance and never has Pueblo been honored with a more enthusiastic convention. The morning session, June 15, was taken up by the reading of reports from the various clubs and officers. The opening address of welcome on behalf of the colored women of Pueblo was delivered by Mrs. L. A. Hargron and was responded to by Mrs. Eva Buckner of Colorado, Springs. The afternoon session was called to order by the president, Mrs. Ida Joyce-Jackson at 2 o'clock, and was opened by singing the Federation song "Onward" written by Mrs. Eva Buckner. The minutes of the previous convention were read and adopted. The paper by Mrs. Lizzie Watson of Colorado Springs on "The Sphere of Woman" and the one on "Temperance" by Mrs. Young of Pueblo, were filled with inspiring thoughts but the pathetic memorial services over the death of Mrs. L. H. Lincoln, prevented their being discussed. Musical selections by Mrs. F. A. Johnson, Mr. Gatewood and the A. M. E. choir were much appreciated as were the remarks by Dr. Corwin, chief surgeon of the C. F. I. hospital. The evening session opened at 8 o'clock with music by the combin- ed choirs of the Eight street Baptist church and St. Johns A. M. E. church. A cordial welcome was extended to the ladies by Mayor West in behalf of the people of Pueblo. His greeting was hearty and his words well chosen. The response on behalf of the State Federation was made by Hon. W. B. Townsend of Pueblo. Next on program was to have been a paper "Value of Race Literature" by Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman of Colorado Springs, but she lay seriously ill at her home. Prayer for her welfare was offered by Mrs. J. P. Watson. The musical selection of this session; a vocal solo by Mrs. E. Dishman of Denver, and a piano solo by Miss Winnifred Harrison, received hearty applause. The president's annual address by Mrs. Ida Joyce-Jackson was the climax to a day of eloquence. Mrs. Jackson's remarks were soulful and filled with recommendations for the uplift of the race. Her concluding remarks based on the state motto was "Lifting as we climb, struggling and striving, let us go onward and upward, hoping that the buds and blossoms of our desires will burst into glorious fruition before many years." Friday morning was held one of the most interesting sessions of the convention. The session opened by music and the invocation by Rev. H. F. Bray. A paper "Our Women in Business" was read by Mrs. Julia Emery of Colorado Springs and was much appreciated as also the Piano solo by Miss Nellie Baker. Mrs. Arnested, superintendent of the rescue work of the Harper W. C. T. U., made a stirring speech on the necessity of her line of work and few dry eyes were in the house as the enormous proportions of sin and suffering were depicted. A paper by Mrs. S. C. Morris of Denver "The Millenial Dawn" held the audience spell bound. The graceful delivery was a noticeable feature. Mrs. H. D. Earl of Colorado Springs read an interesting paper "A Mothers Duty to Her Daughter." The most interesting features of the afternoon session were the papers, "Art Work" by Mrs. H. B. Fox; Our Part in the Life Left of the Race" by Mrs. S. B. Jones both of Colorado Springs and piano selections by Mesdames C. L. Smith and Maud Savage. At 8 p. m. the closing session was held, three interesting papers were read. Mrs. Cornelia Flemings of Colorado Springs subject was "The Highest Ideals for the Negro Youth, Mrs. Martha Sprattlin of Denver further set forth the need of clubs and rescue work in her paper on "Women's Club and Rescue Work;" W. H. Fife, of Pueblo read a paper the "Duty of Women." The recitation "The Pilots Story" by Miss Leona Troutman of Denver, the two piano se- NO. 39. lections by Miss L. M. Johnson of Lincoln, Neb., and the "Goonight Chorus" by the combined choirs were much applauded. Mrs. Ida DePriest as chairman of the committee on resolutions read the report of the committee which embodied the federation platform and resolutions of courtesy to all who had been instrumental in making the convention such a decided success. Press correspondents for this year are Mrs. Young for Pueblo, Mrs. Julia Emery for Colorado Springs, Miss Leona Troutman for Denver. The next convention will be held in Denver. A REMARKABLE NEGRO WAS BENJ. BANNEKER. The "Black Astronomer" Who Helped L'Enfant Lay Out Washington, City of Magnificent Distance Much has been said recently in regard to fittingly commemorating the services Pierre L'Enfant rendered the national capital when he laid out Washington and made it a "city of magnificent distances." A contributor to the New York Sun suggests that if such honor is to be paid to the architect, his associate in the undertaking must not be forgotten. A Maryland negro, Benjamin Bannneker, known as "the black astronomer," was called upon to assist L'Enfant, and so satisfactory was his work that the commission retained him until the service was accomplished. Banneker was born in 1731. He had an industrious and thriving father, who left him in possession of a snug little farm. The boy grew up, working by, day and studying by night. He was largely self-taught, and took delight in working out the most absturse mathematical problems, and writing the answers in rime. He also had a mechanical genius, and constructed a wooden clock without ever having seen one, his only guide being a watch. Many of his nights were spent in the open air, lying on the ground and observing the movements of the stars. Indeed, so exact were his calculations that he not only made an almanac himself, but he corrected some slight errors which occurred in Ferguson's and Leadbetter's calendars. The only time when Banneker left his home for any distance or length of time was when he served on the Washington commission in 1789. The members of the commission were much pleased with him, both personally and professionally. A pleasant picture is left of this much-respected negro. He never married, living alone on his little farm, cooking his own food and doing his own washing. He was a fine looking man in his habitual suit of gray cloth, and his broad brimmed beaver hat. His nature was kind, hospitable and humane. One of his frequent saying is preserved in his own handwriting. "It is said that 'evil communications corrupt good manners.' I hope to live to hear that good communications correct bad manners." This worthy man had one great falling—his love for strong drink. While in the Washington commission he did not allow himself to taste liquor. "I feared to trust myself even with wine," he said, "lest it should steal away any little sense I have." No one realized the degradation of his habit more than he, and he finally overcame it. While the funeral services of Benjamin Banneker were being held at the grave, his little house caught fire, and burned up with every specimen of his ingenuity and scholarship. His best work, however, will last as long as Washington retains its fine avenues.

President Roosevelt Praises Former Railroad Official, Secretary of the Navy and Chairman of Equitable Life. Washington, June 22.—President Roosevelt has taken occasion to express himself in most positive terms complimentary of the integrity and ability of Paul Morton, former vice president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Company, and now concluding his duties as secretary of the navy that he may assume the chairmanship of the board of directors of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York. These expressions are contained in two letters, one addressed to the attorney general and the other to Mr. Morton. The letters were made public yesterday by the administration, together with several others, which, taken together, show the precise point of difference between the Department of Justice and Messrs. Harmon and Judson, who recently resigned as special counsel for the government in the rebate case involving the Santa Fe road and the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. The special counsel wished to bring contempt proceedings against the officers of the road, which would have included Mr. Morton. Their position was that the testimony adduced before the Interstate Commerce Commission established a violation of the court order of March 25, 1902, restraining the company from executing any agreement to transport interstate traffic at rates lower than the published tariff of the road. This testimony, they contended, constituted a prima facie case against the officers of the road and the only way to ascertain their guilt or innocence was through contempt proceedings. Attorney General Moody opposed bringing the contempt proceedings on the ground that while the evidence before the commission might show a violation of the injunction by the road, it contained nothing charging any officer of the company with such violation. President Roosevelt took the same view. Both the president and the attorney general agreed that contempt proceedings should be instituted impersonally against the corporation; in both the Colorado Fuel and the international Harvester case. The latter case, the president says, stands exactly on the same footing and involves practically all of the Western roads. MODERN WOODMEN Proceedings of Head Camp at Milwaukee Meeting. Milwaukee, June 22.—The head camp of Modern Woodmen of America opened its fourteenth biennial convention at the Davidson Theatre Tuesday with between 600 and 700 delegates, representing over 11,000 camps and nearly 700,000 members present. Mayor David S. Rose welcomed the delegates to the city. Responses were made by Head Consul A. R. Talbot for the Modern Woodmen and Head Clerk Charles Hawes of Rock Island for the head office. The report of Head Consul A. R. Talbot was devoted to a review of the work during the biennial term. Speaking of the centralization of the work of the medical department, he favored the discontinuance of state head physicians, all applications to go to the supreme medical directors at the head office. He favored an interval of three or four years between the meetings of the head camp, in the interests of economy. During the biennial the new members numbered 121,639, and 1,482 new camps were chartered. The society, he said, now includes 14.53 per cent. of all those eligible for membership in the states in which it is organized ir. This was followed by the report of Head Clerk Hawes. The report contained the following: The insurance in force at the close of the biennial term aggregated $1,136,678,500. The society paid 7,061 death claims, amounting to $12,663,603, as against 5,860 claims, amounting to $10,736,435, during the term preceding The receipts of the benefit fund totalled $12,567,703, as against $7,570,988 during the preceding biennial. The balance at the close of the term was $807,587. The receipts of the general fund were $1,674,299, as against $1,503,011 during the preceding term, the balance being $289,994. The lapsed (beneficial) membership during the two years was 117,415, and the lapsed insurance $176,462,500. The average per capita payment to the benefit fund was $1,261/2, as against 80 cents during the term preceding. The increase was due to the new rates becoming effective January 1, 1904, when the rates of the members were increased from twenty-five per cent. to seventy-five per cent, at the various ages. There were 2,991 deaths from accident and 804 deaths from suicide. Of the latter 248 were farmers—30.55 per cent. of the total number. The farmers also led in accidental deaths—885. Dr. Warner of Kansas addressed the Woodmen convention in the afternoon, discussing the merits of national fraternal sanitarium for tuberculosis sufferers. In the course of his remarks the doctor said that of the more than 700,000 members of the Modern Woodmen of America more than 100,000 were doomed to die of consumption. The Woodmen paid last May $86,000 in death claims due to consumption in April. The doctor told how the Santa Fe Railroad Company had given a $1,000,000 hotel and site in the city of Las Vegas, New Mexico for sanitarium purposes, and asked that each member of the Woodmen contribute one penny a month to a fund for the maintenance of the institution. Senator Mitchell on Trial Portland, Ore., June 22—The trial of United States Senator John H. Mitchell, charged with using his hose for private gain in connection with the land frauds in this state, began in Judge De Haven's court yesterday, and for the first time in his life, and at the age of three score and ten, Senator Mitchell faced a jury of his peers. CZAR HEARS ADDRESS OF THE ZEMSTVO DELEGATION Pledges Himself to Representatives St. Petersburg, June 20.—Emperor Nicholas received the Zemstvo deputation yesterday. The reception took place at noon in the Alexander palace at Poterhcuf. Prince Troubteskoy, president of the Zemstvo Congress of the Moscow government, in behalf of the Moscow delegation, addressed the emperor in a long speech, in which he described the serious internal conditions which have caused the Zemstvos to approach his majesty directly. The emperor evidently was much impressed. M. Federeoff, representing the St. Petersbug delegation, also spoke. His majesty replied, expressing deep regret at the great sacrifice consequent on the war and above everything at the disaster to the Russian navy. The emperor said: "I am happy to have heard you. I have no doubt you are guided by an ardent sentiment of love for the fatherland in addressing me directly. "I have been grieved in my whole soul with all my people at the calamities which the war has brought upon Russia, and at all those which may still be feared, as well as our internal disturbances. "Dissipate your thoughts. My will is sovereign and it is my unalterable will that the admission of elected representatives to the works of state shall be regularly accomplished. "I watch daily and devote myself to this work. You may announce that to all your friends in country and town. "I am as firmly convinced that Russia will emerge strengthened from the trials she is now enduring, and that there will be established soon, as formerly, a union between the emperor and all Russia, a communion between myself and the men of Russian soil. "This union and communion must serve as a basis for the original principles of Russia. "I have faith in your desire to help me in this task." Upon completing his remarks the emperor graciously greeted the individual members of the delegation, shaking hands with them and having a few cordial words for each. The fact that the emperor not only received the bold, plain spoken address without so much as an indication of his disapprobation, but, expressed full sympathy with the efforts to ameliorate the deplorable state of affairs depicted therein, and in the most direct and explicit fashion renewed his promise to summon the representatives of the people, made the deepest impression on the delegation. The delegation is now preparing an account of the audience which will be presented to the St. Petersburg douma to-morrow, and in accordance with their instructions, as well as the imperial wish, will be communicated to all the Zemstvos and mayors of Russia. Uncle Sam's Drummers. Washington, June 20.—The Department of Commerce and Labor has completed preparations for sending five special agents abroad to investigate trade conditions, with the object of promoting the foreign commerce of the United States. The five agents selected are Prof. Lincoln Hutchinson, University of California; Charles M. Pepper, Harry E. Barrill, Raymond F. Crist and E. Edward Bedloe. As the appropriation is only $30,000 it was decided to limit the several fields of investigation in order that the best results may be obtained for presentation to Congress early in the approaching session. Messrs. Burrill and Crist will go to the Orient. Professor Hutchinson will go to South America, and already has entered upon his work. He will visit all the seaports of the Atlantic and Pacific coast of that continent. Mr. Pepper will go to Canada and Mexico, extending his investigations to Central America. Dr. Bedloe will be sent to the West Indies, Venezuela, British, Dutch and French Gulana. It is expected that the investigation will be completed by the close of the present year and that all of the agents will have their final reports ready for Congress in January. Secretary Metcalf has prepared detailed instructions for the agents, which require them to make full investigations into American trade with the countries to be visited, what proportion of the entire trade is shared by the United States and what methods may be adopted to increase its volume. Ovama Advancing St. Petersburg, June 20.—So far as indicated here there have been no moves in the direction of a suspension of hostilities. No confirmation has been received here of the report from Godzyadani of June 17th that negotiations for an armistice had been begun between Field Marshal Oyama and General-Linevitch. On the contrary, the latest news from the front leaves little doubt that Oyama's columns are in motion and disquieting rumors are current here regarding the position of the Russian army, according to which Oyama has succeeded in pushing both his flanks far forward, respectively opposite Kuanchengtsu and Kirin, whence he can draw a noose around the troops below this line. Girls' School Board. Denver, June 20.—Governor McDonald yesterday completed the appointments on the board of control for the Girls' Industrial School by naming two Denver women to fill the vacancies. The new members are Miss Blanche Delaphaine and Mrs. Ina Thompson. They have accepted and will enter upon their duties immediately. Miss Delaphaine is a Democrat and Mrs. Thompson a Republican. The first named was formerly a member of the board and is considered well informed regarding sociological work, having traveled abroad extensively making investigations. Mrs. Thompson is employed as a cashier at the Denver postoffice and a well-known club woman. Bargains! Bargains!! 2707 WELTON ST. Call Early and get Bargains. Jennie Tindell.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. Read the COLORADO STATESMAN for the news. The fellow who thinks that Colorado is going to give any more time to rocking Democratic hobbies has an agreeable dissappointment coming to him. The Republican party believes in home rule. The question of ownership of public utilities is one for the taxpayers of the municipalities to settle as citizens. It is not a question for state politicians to play with for political advantage. "We have the right to look forward with confident hope to the future of this Republic, because it will not and shall not become the Republic of any class, either poor or rich; because it will not and shall not become the Republic of any class, either poor or rich; because it will and shall remain as its founders did his duty to his neighbors, was given his full rights, was guaranteed justice and had justice exacted him in return."—Theodore Roosevelt. municipal ownership is a local, not a state question. Each town must decide for itself whether or not it wants to buy and operate its public utilities. The Democratic leaders are going to have a difficult time stirring up any interest in this question among farmers, mineas & others who do not live in large town or cities. They all believe in home rule and are entirely willing to let the municipalities spend their own money as they deem best. There is nothing in the present political situation to call for an active or noisy campaign. It is only essential that the Republican organizations and press keep in touch with the people upon topics of current political interest. It may annoy the Democrats to know that the Republican press, the sentinels of the party, are on the alert and keeping the army informed of the moves of the enemy. It is not to be expected that the Democratic bosses will approve of this vigilance, but they will have to endure it just the same. A calm, fair and unimpassioned discussion of public questions is always in order. If public interest is to be kept alive to public needs it is absolutely necessary that this course be prusued. OUR SUMMER TOZRISTS. Speaking of Colorado as a great pleasure resort President Roosevelt said: "Passing through your wonderful mountains and canons, I realize that this state is going to be more and more the playground for the entire Republic. You will see this, the real Switzerland of America, made as much of a holiday place as Switzerland is in Europe." That the people of this country are realizing the truth of this statement from the executive head of the nation is quite evident from the continuous increase of tourists every year, and on account of the Epworth League, Grand Army Encampment and various other gatherings that will meet here this summer, Denver will be taxed to the limit of its great capacity to furnish accommodations for the visitors who will be here to enjoy the cool and balmy breeze of the Rockies and view the sceneries of grandeur as well as to witness the splendor of the many attractions and outings. There will be many thousand colored visitors among the vast throng and the colored citizens of Denver have already placed many cards of attractions on the calendar and as usual THE COLORADO STATESMAN will eclipse all outings that will be given during the season with its ninth annual picnic at Rocky Mountain Lake Thursday, July 13. This event is looked upon as annual holiday by the people of Denver and surrounding country and it goes without saying that none will be disappointed for enjoyment. The large lake will be the scene of many boats filled with those who seek an outing upon the deep; the great area of blue glass shaded with huge trees; the many hammocks and swings; the croquet grounds, the arena for field sports and the large dancing pavillian will furnish abundance of pleasure for the great throng of people that will be present. We greatly appreciate the fact that the citizens of Denver join us in our annual outing and help make it pleasant for visitors and strangers. With the appointment of W. H.

The City in the Sea Lo, death has reared himself a throne in a strange city lying alone Far down within the dim west, Where gloom gathers the bad and the worst in the best Have gone to their eternal rest, Their shrines and palaces and towers (Time-eaten towers that tremble not) Rescued from the wretched waters. Around, by lifting winds forgot, Resignedly beneath the sky The melancholy waters lie. No rays from the holy heaven come down On the long night time of that town; But light from out the lurid sea Streams up the turrets silently, Gleams up the pinnacles far and free; Up drapes on splendid up knee balls, Up fanes, up Babylon-like walls, Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers. Up marmor, up marvellous shrine Whose wretched frieze forever The viol, the violet, and the vine. Resignedly beneath the sky The shrine to the turrets and shadows there So blend the turrets and shadows there That all seem pendulous in air. I am tempted to ask the reader merely to believe, because I say so, that the destruction of disease germs is possible. Of course I don't mean to assert that we are yet in possession of knowledge sufficient for our purpose, even supposing that mankind had set itself on the extermination of disease microbes, says C. W. Saleeby, M. D., in Harper's Weekly. For absolute success we must know much more than we do. In the case of malaria our knowledge is practically perfect. We know the life history of the microbe from the cradle to the grave, so to speak, and therefore we can exterminate it whenever the public of the planet gives the word. On the other hand, we have not yet discovered the microbes of many diseases, such as measles and whooping cough and mumps, and even a "cold in the head." But these are mere matters of time. Similarly, we must recognize that microbes go through millions of generations when other creatures go through one. At the end of twenty-four hours a microbe may have grandchildren with "great-great" added on. Therefore they can vary very Turnverein in War Time The first Turner societies in the United States were founded in Philadelphia and Cincinnati in 1841, and shortly after, the New York Turnerein had its start in Hoboken. Two years later ten societies were flourishing and these were formed into a National Turner union, says Ouling. The revolutionary spirit which blazed fiercely in Germany in 1848 was rushed for the time and many patriots of superior education and intelligence fled to this country as an asylum. They were strangers in a strange land, unable to communicate with the native born and sociability was limited to intercourse with their own countrymen. They had been Turners at home, using this organization and a nursery of patriotism, in which high ideals of political, social and religious progress were cherished, together with the training of the body for the hardships of the field and camp. This ideal of classic times, wisely reincarnated in modern Germany to serve a nation's needs, was trans- Odd Things About Money Business men throughout Canada are disturbed at the preponderance of American coins in trade circles. Ways and means are being sought to exclude American silver coins as far as possible from business channels. The Canadian Bankers' association has proposed to the Canadian government that it reimburse the banks for the charges of shipping American silver back to the United States, the banks at the same time to take an equivalent amount of Canadian silver. There has been no disposition to refuse American bills, for the balance of trade is heavily in favor of the United States and the bills are accepted at par by the banks for shipment to correspondents throughout the United States. Chinese mints are literally "coining money" on a scheme recently hit upon by which copper coins are minted at a comparatively small cost and made exchangeable at the rate of ninety for a Mexican dollar. At Hangchau 20,000,000 of these copper coins Was Out of Proportion "During the motor boat races," said an American, "there was a great assemblage of celebrities at Monte Carlo. "Sir Alfred Harmsworth, the English publisher, lunched one day at Monte Carlo on Russian dishes at the famous Citro's. He had come from Marseilles in a new ninety-horse-power automobile, and Cirro was now explaining to him his Russian dishes, a novelty that Monte Carlo had welcomed heartily. "Sir Alfred helped himself to a Russian dish that looked like black velvet. "This is good,' he said, 'but have you any kvass?' "Kvass? Indeed, yes,' said Ciro. "I'll have some kvass, then,' said Sir Alfred. "Some kvass, with plenty of Caucasus cabbage in it." "But when the pale kvass came it was too thick with the aromatic cabbage of the Caucasus. It was neces While from a proud tower in the town Death looks gigantically down. There open fanes and gaping graves Yawn level with the luminous waves; But not the riches there that lie In each idol's diamond eye— Not what gears dead, Tempt the waters from their bed; For no ripples curl, alas. Along that wilderness of glass; No swellings all that winds may be Upon the faeces of a pirate; No heavings hint that winds have been On seas less hideously serene. But lo, a stir is in the air! The wave—there is a movement there! As if the towers had a movement aside, In slightly sinking, the dull tide; As if the top copier gave A void within the filmy heart! The waves have now a redder glow. The hours are breathing faint and low; And when, amid no earthly moons, Dawns come the gentle sigh, Hell, rising from a thousand thrones, Shall do it reverence. quickly. And we know that certain conditions may cause innocent microbes so to vary, after a few thousands of generations (taking next to no time), that they become harmful. All this question must be investigated on even a wider scale than at present; so that we may be able to kill all the microbes that are even potentially dangerous, or else modify them so that they are dangerous only to creatures which are dangerous to us. An instance of this is already furnished in a sense, by the plague. The microbe of *nis* disease—the bacillus pestis—discovered ten years ago by the great Japanese bacteriologist Xitasato, is mainly conveyed from place to place by rats, which die even more readily than man of this terrible disease. Therefore man has declared war on the unfortunate rat, his co-victim. As disease gradually diminishes upon the earth, with the disappearance of its chief cause, certain great changes will occur in human life. Its average length will be greatly increased—certainly by several decades—for microbes shorten the life of every one of us, even when we die of so-called "old age." planted to the United States by the fortunes of war. The Turner societies aroused some antagonism, based on the specious claim that they were an attempt to create a state within a state and to keep the Germans apart from the life around them. This contention was magnificently shattered a little more than a decade after the first Turners were organized in this country. When the civil war began, these German citizens of the United States volunteered in such numbers that in New York a Turner regiment was enlisted and sent to the front under Col. Max Webber. The Ninth Ohio was another regiment of Turners from Cincinnati, and in Philadelphia and St. Louis Turners filled the ranks of regiments which did not have the distinctive name. Gen. Seigel commanded several thousand Turners in his forces and was their idol, for he had been a leader of the Turnerbund in his own land and was one of the fighting revolutionary commanders who led his army into Switzerland and there disbanded it after the cause was lost. are being made every month and shipped to Shanghai. The coins are officially known as the 10-cash coins, corresponding to our American 1-cent pieces. One hundred of these coins weight slightly over twenty-four ounces and a pound and a half copper costs only 10 to 20 cents. No great amount of power is needed to convert the copper into coin and plenty of labor can be had at from $4 to $8 gold a month. According to Chinese computation, the pound and a half of copper in money is worth about $1.12 Mexican, or 50 cents in gold. While issued at the mints for 90 cents to one Mexican dollar, so great is the demand for these copper coins among the Chinese that they pass current among the people for from 95 to 97 cents. A new mint with an output of 2,000,000 of these coins a day will start up in Hangchau this month. The new coins are not only driving gold cash out of circulation, but will have to be reckoned with when a new monetary system is made for the Chinese empire. sary to send it back for a little more sour soup. "‘I remind myself,’ said Sir Alfred smiling, ‘of an old man who sat at a table next to mine in Sweeting’s the other day. “This old man ordered ale and lobster. “‘And, waiter,’ he said, ‘see that you put a good head on the ale.’ ‘Yes, sir, a good head, sir,’ said the waiter, and in a little while he returned with a mug of ale that foamed like a geyser. “There was too much foam altogether. With a spoon the old man laded it off. Thereupon the waiter took the nearly empty glass again to refill it. “‘You told me, you know, sir,’ he said, ‘that you wanted a good head on it.’ "But,' said the old man, 'I didn't know it would have such a very short neck,'" —Edgar Allan Poe.

Deceased left Denver early in February for Austin with a view of benefiting his health but the change proved to be of no benefit. Deceased was a charter member of Damon Lodge No. 5. Knights of Pythias of this city and was serving his second term in the executive chair when he left the city. Besides a widow and other relatives, he leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his sad demise. The Mecca Cafe and Chili Parlors at 2226 Arapahoe street, is without doubt the most up-to-date resort of its kind in the West. It has in connection a large summer pavillan and no better place can be found in the city for the enjoyment of tripling the light fantastic. During the summer season an excellent orchestra will furnish music for the amusement of the guests. Everybody who has visited this first-class resort speak in the highest terms of it.

He was 45 years of age and leaves a wife and several children to mourn his sad demise.

Both young ladies, though charmed with the culture and educational advantages of the East, are very glad to be home again. We have known Mrs. Barnes for more than 18 years and we heartily congratulate her for the manner in which she has reared and trained these two industrious young ladies, who, themselves deserves no little amount of credit for their ambitiousness in ascending the ladder of fame.

Edward Young, author of "Night Thoughts," wrote in 1749 to the Duchess of Portland a letter containing an enthusiastic reference to Richardson's "Clarissa," and this letter has just been published among the Longest MSS. "Has your grace read his 'Clarissa?'" says Young. "What a beautiful brat of the brain is there! I wish your grace would stand godmother and give its name 'Clarissa the Divine.' That romance will probably do more good than a body of Divinity. If all printers could turn such authors I would turn printer in order to be instrumental in promoting such benefit to mankind." The modern author may well sigh for such appreciation. Languages of India. Among the 145 distinct languages spoken in British India are some possessing only a few hundred words, others rivaling English, as Dr. Grieler says, or Russian, as I would say, in their copiousness; some in which every word is a monosyllable, others in which some are elongated by agglutination till they run to ten syllables, like da-pa-i-ocho-akan-taken-taetin-a-e—a Soutall word meaning: "He who belongs to him belongs to me will continue letting himself be made to fight." Some of these divers tongues lack verb and noun, others are as complex and systematic as Greek and Latin.—Nineteenth Century. Behind the Age.

INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FREQUENTLY THE CAUSE. Illuminants of the Past, One and All, Have Serious Defects—Acetylene Gas, with Its Clear, Unwavering, Yet Soft Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes. Chicago, June 20.—No one can go into our schools or meet a group of children on the street without noticing how large a number of them wear spectacles. The proportion seems to increase yearly, and there are many more who ought to wear glasses. The experience of one teacher might be duplicated by the score. She knew Alice was inattentive and she thought she was unusually stupid. She said so to the principal and sent a note to the mother, requesting that the child be helped at home if she wished her to keep up with her class. One day after a blackboard explanation, the teacher called upon the child and found that she had not seen what had been written. She was kept after school and by dint of much sympathetic questioning Miss C. found that Alice had never been able to see what was put on the board and that her head had ached so often and so hard that she frequently failed to hear what was said. Such a condition may be caused by lack of proper food, but in our American homes it is usually due to the poor quality of the artificial light. The yellow, insufficient light of the ordinary kerosene lamp, with its smoky chimney, is about as bad for the eyes as can be imagined. The flickering light from a coal gas jet is but little better, and even the electric light, brilliant as it usually is, has an unsteadiness due to variations in power, and a glare peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves of sight. The comparatively new illuminant acetylene gas produces as nearly perfect an artificial light as has yet been found. It gives a clear white, unwavering light, very brilliant yet perfectly soft, and so nearly like the rays of the sun that even colors appear as in daylight. Fortunately, acetylene is very easily and cheaply produced, and the simple apparatus necessary can be purchased and installed in any home at a very moderate cost, and the acetylene can be piped to convenient points in the house where a light is needed. It is then lighted and extinguished and used exactly like common city gas. Acetylene is rapidly coming into common use in homes, churches, schools and institutions of all kinds, and it is reasonable to expect that as its use in the home increases, there will be fewer defective eyes, particularly among children. Poor eyesight and the many ill results therefrom will undoubtedly be much reduced by the use of this new illuminant. "Paw, would it be ungrammatical to say I seen you when you hid $10 under the bureau?" "Yes, son, both ungrammatical and dangerous. When you are in doubt on such points always come to me, and never go to your mother." RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION. At the biennial convention of the Order of Railway Conductors recently held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions were unanimously adopted voicing their sentiments as to the effect of proposed railway rate legislation on the 1,300,000 railroad employees, whom they in part represented. These resolutions "indorse the attitude of President Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates and other illegalities, and commend the attitude of the heads of American Railways, who, with practical unanimity, have joined with the president on this question." They then respectfully point out to Congress the "inadvisability of legislation vesting in the hands of a commission power over railway rates, now lower by far in the United States than in any other country," because such regulation would "result in litigation and confusion and inevitably tend to an enforced reduction in rates, irrespective of the question of the ability of the railroads to stand the reduction, especially in view of the increased cost of their supplies and materials." They further protested against such power being given to the present Inter-State Commission because "the proposed legislation is not in harmony with our idea of American jurisprudence, inasmuch as it contemplates that a single body shall have the right to investigate, indict, try, condemn and then enforce its decisions at the cost of the carriers, pending appeal, which is manifestly inequitable." The conductors base their demand for only such legislation if any, as would "secure and insure justice and equity and preserve equal rights to all parties concerned," on the ground that the low cost of transportation "is the result of the efficiency of American railway management and operation which have built up the country through constant improvement and development of territory, while at the same time recognition has been given to the value of intelligence among employees in contrast to foreign methods, where high freight rates and lowest wages to employees obtain." In pressing their claim against legislation adverse to their interests, they point out the fact that "the freight rates of this country average only two per cent of the cost of articles to the consumer, thus making the freight rate so insignificant a factor in the selling price that numerous standard articles are sold at the same price in all parts of the country." A Calcutta paper says the climate of that city is so unhealthy that the inhabitants are obliged to live elsewhere. Jas Hullinger & Co. 220 WEST 4TH STREET DENVER C1L 676.

They have the number fixed in their memory in case it is stolen. They could probably pick it out from fifty other watches with their eyes shut. But how many men know their watch is a compass and will tell north from south as accurately as it will tell the time of day? Stanley, the explorer, did not know it until he had groped his way through the dark continent and met a Belgian sailor on the coast. Every watch is a compass If you point the hour hand to the sun the south is exactly halfway between the hour and the figure XII on the dial Suppose, for instance, it is 4 o'clock Point the hand indicating 4 to the sun and 11 on the watch is exactly south if it is 8 o'clock, point the hand indicating 8 to the sun and the figure X on the dial is due south. No man need get lost if he carries a watch." The Minnehaha. LOUIS PELOW, Proprietor. Liquors and Cigars. Pabst Beer on Draught. Cor. 18th & Curtis Sts. Denver, Colo. GEO. R. SWALLOW. President. C.

Conference Favors Immediate Municipal Ownership—State Central Committee Would Leave It to Local Decision. Denver, June 21.—A joint conference of members of the Democratic State Central Committee and the Democratic leaders not directly connected with the state organization as committeemen met here Monday in pursuance of a call issued some weeks ago by United States Senators Teller and Patterson, Former Governor Adams and Charles S. Thomas and the other leading party men, for the purpose of securing an expression of opinion on the issues of the day affecting the state of Colorado. On entering the conference the members of the state committee announced that they did so only as individuals. The conference instructed a committee, headed by Senator Patterson, to prepare an address to the people of Colorado. This was done and the conference later heard it read and indorsed it as a platform of principles for the Colorado Democracy. This address, after referring to the conspiracy which resulted in the unseating of Alva Adams from the governorship and installing a man "who never had been nominated for the place and for whom a single vote had not been cast," warns the people that the corporations "have deliberately determined to rule the state, regardless of what the majority of legal voters may decide." The address further says: "We stand for municipal ownership of all public utilities. The claim that this is a question local to each town and city is given the lie by the events of the past few years in Colorado." Later the state central committee held a meeting and adopted the following: "Resolved, by the Democratic State Central Committee. That while we favor municipal ownership of public utilities, the time and manner of acquiring them should be left to the various towns and cities interested." A banquet to the Democratic conference was held at the Savoy hotel Monday night and was attended by more than 300 Democrats from all sections of the state. Samuel Belford of Denver acted as toastmaster. The program of toasts was as follows: "Democracy's Duty, to the People," by Senator Henry M. Teller. "A Party, to Govern the People, Must Govern Itself," Harry L. Lubees of Las Animas. "Pietro and Ah Sin," ex-Governor Charles S. Thomas. "Citizenship and Democracy," ex Governor Alva Adams. "The Democratate Party, What It Should Stand For," Senator Thomas M. Patterson. Although not on the program, State Chairman Milton Smith and Thomas O'Donnell also spoke. BOWEN REMOVED. President Orders Dismissal of Minister to Venezuela. Washington, June 21—The dismissal of Herbert W. Bowen, for some years United States minister to Venezuela, and the exoneration of Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Loomis of the allegations brought against him by Mr. Bowen, are the outcome of the Loomis-Bowen controversy which has attracted wide attention for many months past. This disposition of the case is made by President Roosevelt in a letter addressed to Secretary Taft, made public last night, approving Mr. Taft's report on his findings and conclusions in the case. The President scathingly arraigns Minister Bowen, declaring that his conduct is "especially reprehensible;" that Mr. Bowen asked one of his witnesses to enter the employ of a certain company for the purpose, "in plain words, of sealing" documents which he hoped might incriminate Mr. Loomis, and that Mr. Bowen has "evidently for many months, indeed for the last two years, devoted himself" to hunting up scandal and gossip until it became a monomania and caused him "to show complete disloyalty" to the company represented. The President says he had hoped to promote Mr. Bowen, as during much of his service he had done good work, but that his usefulness in the diplomatic service is now at an end. The President adds that he would direct that Mr. Bowen's resignation be requested, but for his statement that he would consider a resignation an admission of misconduct, and the dismissal is therefore ordered. Important Baseball Decision. New York, June 21—Persons who attend baseball games do so at their own risk, according to a decision just handed down by Civil Justice McLaughlin in a damage suit brought by a young woman who claims to have been injured by a foul ball. The complainant was an enthusiastic admirer of the game. On September 3, 1904, while a spectator at the contest on the Polo grounds between the New York National Club and the Bostons, a foul ball smote her on the nose. The doctors saved her from permanent disfigurement, but suit was brought for damages in the sum of $500 against the New York club's management. The complainant's counsel asserted that the management was responsible for everything that went wrong on the ground and that the woman's injury was clearly due to the lack of proper safeguards. The justice, however, ruled that those who entered the grounds did so at their own risk. Spanish Cabinet Resigns. Madrid, June 21.-The entire Cabinet has resigned and its resignation has been accepted by King Alfonso. The resignation followed the rejection of a vote of confidence in the Cabinet, introduced in the Chamber of Deputies by Deputy Llorens. Senor Besada, minister of the interior, in supporting the motion, said that the Cabinet had the confidence of the crown and was backed by public opinion, but it remained to be seen whether it had the requisite political majority. STATE LABOR OFFICE LABOR COMMISSIONER'S WORK. Many Complaints Satisfactorily Settled—Conditions Good in Western Colorado. Denver, June 19.—Since he became state labor commissioner two months ago E. V. Brake has had 112 complaints filed in his office, which have nearly all been adjusted satisfactorily. The law only requires that where complaints are made by laboring people that they have been defrauded or unjustly kept out of their wages the commissioner may investigate. It does not give him power to act, but the commissioner is a great moral force and usually very soon after a case is reported it is speedily adjusted, because the employer is not courting trouble. The cases are of great variety and the claims presented run from $1 to several hundred. Women are the greatest offenders, strange as it may seem. They become angry and discharge a servant or a dressmaker, refusing to adjust the wages until the end of the month, or when they feel like it, and frequently setting up a counter-claim for poor work or broken dishes. A poor person cannot wait, nor can he or she afford to sue, setting forth the justice or injustice of the claim against them. There is much trouble, also, with employment agents, since, unhappily, a good many unworthy persons go into that business because it offers excellent opportunities for preying upon the labor of others. Recently Mr. Brake had a very aggravated claim of this kind. An agent attempted to ship twenty-three men on a train to a job of work on a ticket that called for twenty-one fares. The extra men were put off, and one of them made his way back to the city. He was out his commission to the agent, lost his blankets and was generally a sufferer. The commissioner was able to adjust the claim without trouble. Commissioner Brake has no fund to work with, but he has managed to secure legal services in a manner of his own. He has made an arrangement with R. I. Gregg, preceptor at the law school of the Denver University, to handle the cases. Mr. Gregg has a good many young law students who are looking for experience, and they take up the petty cases and handle them for nothing. Mr. Brake has recently returned from a trip over the western part of the state, looking up labor statistics. He reports that conditions are satisfactory in almost every section and few complaints were made to him. Strawberry Day at Glenwood. Denver, June 18.—A Glenwood Springs dispatch last night says: Glenwood Springs to-day celebrated her eighth annual strawberry festival and the event was pronounced by all to be a grand success, Leadville, Aspen, Grand Junction, New Castle, Riffle and Carbondale contributed liberally to the number of visitors present. The musical program was excellent, bands from Aspen, Redstone, Grand Junction and Leadville entertaining the people. A big free strawberry feast at the Opera House was one of the leading features of the program, and scarcely less popular than this was the swim in the big pool, this being free for all visitors from 2 o'clock to 6. A ball game this afternoon between the Aspen and Glenwood clubs resulted in a victory for the former by a score of fifteen to eight. An excursion of Iowa school teachers on their way to Portland arrived about 3 o'clock and the entire party was piloted to the headquarters at Odd Fellows hall, where they were served with strawberries and cream. The exercises closed to night with a dance in the open sir. Royal Arcanum Rates. New York, June 19.—Plans are being perfected to have a great mass meeting in New York the latter part of this week or early next week, to emphasize the protest of many members of the Royal Arcanum against the new rates adopted by the Supreme Council at Atlantic City in May. Although officers of the organizations assert that the agitation will blow over, the opposition appears to be growing, especially in New York and Brooklyn. In the official organ of the organization, which has just appeared, members are told that under no circumstances will there be any revocation or even modification of the decision of the supreme council. It is asserted that unless such a decided increase in the premium as was ordered had been made, it would only have been a short time before the or der would have had to go out of business. Death of General Gomez. Havana, June 18.—Gen. Maxima Gomez died at 6 o'clock last evening. Gomez died at 6 o'clock last evening. The end came quietly in the beautiful temporary home at the suburb of Vadado, to which General Gomez was taken on his return from Santiago, President Palma, accompanied by General Andrade, arrived about a quarter of an hour previous to the death of the general. General Gomez leaves a widow, five sons and one daughter. Only yesterday the secretary of the treasury delivered to one of General Gomez's sons a check for $100,000, which had been voted by Congress for the general's benefit and approved by President Palma. This was in addition to the $50,000 previously voted by Congress. Pension Office Reforms. Washington, June 18. — Commissioner of Pensions Warner has decided that after July 1st all orders for the medical examination of pension claims shall emanate from the medical branch of the bureau, under direction of the medical referee. The proposed change will dispense with the use of more than 200 rosters of examining surgeons. The commissioner also contemplates changing the present method of keeping the records of claimants for pension on large, cumbersome books to the card system. Treatment of Consumption. An important paper was read before the recent meeting of the American Anti-Tuberculosis League at Atlanta, Georgia, by Dr. C. P. Palmer of Asheville North Carolina, on "The Physician's permanent Duty to the Patient and Family in Tuberculosis." At the conclusion of his discussion Dr. Ambier presented the following points: "First—Tuberculosis is not the fatal disease commonly believed. "Second—While communicable, it can be practically innocuous by the proper course on the part of the patient. "Third—The chief cause of the large mortality is late diagnosis. "Fourth—Late diagnosis is caused by indifference of the patient to early symptoms and carelessness on the part of the physician consulted. "Fifth—By thorough systematic instruction of the patient, better results can be accomplished than by medication. "Sixth—Instruction of patient, family and friends and close observation on their part of the rules laid down will practically rob the disease of its method and means of extending." It is said that more people have lost their lives in Fourth of July accidents than were killed during the entire Revolutionary War. SAVED CHILD'S LIFE. Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dcdd's Kidney Pills. Sedgwick, Ark., June 19.—The case of W. S. Taylor's little son is looked upon by those interested in medical matters as one of the most wonderful on record. In this connection his father makes the following statement: "Last September my little boy had dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen to such an extent that he could not walk or put his shoes, on. The treatment that the doctors were giving him seemed to do him no good, and two or three people said his days were short, even the doctors, two of the best in the country told me he would not get better. I stopped their medicine and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills. I gave him three Pills a day, one morning, noon and night for eight days; at the end of the eighth day the swelling was all gone, but to give the medicine justice, I gave him eleven more pills. I used thirty-five Pills in all and he was entirely cured. I consider your medicine saved my child's life. When the thirty-five Pills were given him, he could run, dance and sing, whereas before he was an invalid in his mother's arms from morning until night." Italian Agent Maltreated. Captain Baccari, who was sent to the Congo independent state as the representative of King Victor Emmanuel to report upon the possibility of starting in Italian emigration scheme for the Congo, charged that the independent state authorities attempted to have him poisoned, and that afterward the governor general of the Congo tried to prove that he was insane. Guarding the Treasury. A member of the Board of County Commissioners of Woods county objected when the board voted to pass an item of the county clerk's expense account, entered as "ribbon for typewriter." He said the clerk's typewriter was a nice girl, but didn't think the county ought to buy her clothes.—Kansas City Journal. MADE NEW STRENGTH MADE NEW STRENGTH QUIKER THAN DOCTOR'S TONICS, SAYS TYPHOID PATIENT. Young Lady Left by Fever in Very Weak State Uses Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with Gratifying Resu'cs. After a fever, such as typhoid or scarlet, has run its full course there remains the recovery of strength. The tonic that will most rapidly increase the red corpuscles in the blood is the one that will most quickly restore color to the pale cheeks, strength to the weak muscles, and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So far nothing has ever been produced superior to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for this purpose. Miss Midendorf had been ill with typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She had a good physician who carried her safely through the critical stages. When he left, nothing remained to be done except to build up her strength, which was very feeble, and he gave her some prescriptions for that purpose. Here, however, she met with disappointment. "I took the doctor's tonics," she says, "for two months after I had recovered from the fever, but they did not do me the good I looked for. My strength came back so slowly that I scarcely seemed to be making any progress at all. Just then I read in a book thrown in our yard some striking testimonials showing what wonderful blood-builders and strength-givers Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are. I got a box of them soon after this and after I had taken only about half of them I could see a very great improvement in my condition. When I had used up two boxes, I felt that I did not need any more medicine. I have remained strong ever since." Miss E. B. Midendorf lives at No. 1501 Park street, Quincy, Ill. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best remedy to use in all cases of weakness, from what ever cause the system may be run down. In cases of debility due to overwork they minister fresh strength and overcome nervous symptoms. They are a specific for anemia or bloodlessness. They are particularly helpful to girls on the verge of womanhood. They meet all the requirements of the period known as the change of life. They correct spring languor. They strengthen weak digestion and rouse up sluggish organs. No other tonic combines so many virtues. All druggists sell them. Magistrate—Where do you live? Prisoner—Where do you live? Prisoner—Indeed. Prisoner—Yes, but just at present I haven't any hat. Insist on Getting It. Some grocers say they don't keep Defiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 oz. in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. for the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. It's no use inviting folks to heaven if you're unwilling to ask them to eat dinner with you. Piso's Cure cannot be too highly spoken of as a cough cure—J. W. O'BRIEN, 322 Turd Ave. N., Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 6, 1900. A bachelor farmer says that the quickest way to remove weeds is to propose to a widow. TEA To tell you what's good for you. Your grocer returns your money if you don't like Schilling's Best. It isn't necessary for the photographer to take people by surprise. You never hear any one complain about "Defiance Starch." There is none to equal it in quality and quantity, 16 ounces, 10 cents. Try it now and save your money. You can always tell a married couple in a restaurant by the way they don't talk to each other. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. For children teething, softens the gums, reduces inflammation, allays pain, curts wind colic. 250 a bottle. It is surprising how soon people begin to practice economy after they go broke. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocery tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. Any boy will tell you that it's easy to forgive an enemy if he is bigger than you are. FITS permanently cured. No fits or nonfurnaces after season.

The beauty about castles in the air is that they need no plumbers. Nervous Women Their Sufferings Are Usually Due to Uterine Disorders Perhaps Unsuspected A MEDICINE THAT CURES Can we dispute the well-known fact that American women are nervous? How often do we hear the expression, "I am so nervous, it seems as if I should fly;" or, "Don't speak to me." Little things Can we dispute the well-known fact that American women are nervous? How often do we hear the expression, "I am so nervous, it seems as if I should fly; " or, "Don't speak to me." Little things annoy you and make you irritable; you can't sleep, you are unable to quietly and calmly perform your daily tasks or care for your children. The relation of the nerves and generative organs in women is so close that nine-tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous debility, the blues, sleeplessness and nervous irritability arise from some derangement of the organism which makes her a woman. Fits of depression or restlessness and irritability. Spirits easily affected, so that one minute she laughs, the next minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and between the shoulders. Loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry at the least provocation. All this points to nervous prostration. Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 103 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "I cannot express the wonderful relief I have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound. I suffered for a long time with nervous prostration, backache, headache, loss of appetite. I could not sleep and would walk the floor almost every night. "I had three doctors and got no better, and life was a burden. I was advised to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has worked wonders for me. "I am a well woman, my nervousness is all gone and my friends say I look ten years younger." Will not the volumes of letters from women made strong by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound convince all women of its virtues? Surely you cannot wish to remain sick and weak and discouraged, exhausted each day, when you can be as easily cured as other women. More Flexible and Lasting. won't shake out or blow out; by using Defiance Starch you obtain better res- ults than possible with any other brand and one-third more for same money. It may be all right for Russia to con- tinue the war as it is urged to do by many American editors, but she should be careful not to let the Japanese find it out, or they may raise hob with her.
