The Los Angeles Times Speaks out Boldly for the Negro-- Says the Present Burdens of the Race is the Senseless Enmity of Certain Envenomed White Men who Pride Themselves as "Nigger-Haters." An editorial in the Los Angeles Times of the 18th instant, headed, "The Black Man's Burden," is a very splendid tribute of encouragement to the race. It says: We hear a great deal, now and then, about the white man's burden, but the black man has his burdens, too, though never a word is said about them by anybody. The Negro, the world over, has had a lot of heavy loads on his back since he began, not to speak of the lashes and blows that same poor back has had to bear. But patiently has he borne his burdens—our brother of the dark skin—patiently and bravely has he borne them indeed. Among the present burdens the Negro has to bear is the senseless enmity of certain envenomed white men who are known as, and who pride themselves on being "nigger-haters." The prince of these is Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi, of whom it was set forth in yesterday's telegraph columns of the Times that he is about to make a campaign for his election to the United States Senate on the platform of the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment. Furthermore, Vardaman has the audacity to say that if elected he would devote his energies to educating the North up to his ideas of the "justice" of disfranchising the Negro, leaving him without a vote in his native country, a voice in a government of which he is a living part, and eliminating him wholly from the political life of the nation. Of course, there is not the slightest possibility that Vardaman's ambitions will ever be realized as far as disfranchising the Negro is concerned. The long-haired and narrow-souled Governor of Mississippi may work his way into the Senate—for there is no telling what may happen down there in the Bayon State—but he would prove perfectly harmless. There is to be no disfranchisement of American citizens just now or at any other time, whether they be black or white. The latest Vardaman outbreak, if it serves any purpose, serves but to again bring to mind the fact that the Negro question is no longer a question at all. And that this is so we have to thank the Negro himself. It is he who has solved the problem by his own courage, industry, patience and virtue. There are bad Negroes, but not more of them, pro rata, than there are bad white men. It is, indeed, inspiring to look back upon the VOL. XI. splendid achievements of our Negro fellow citizens since they came "up from slavery." Look where you will in all the busy walks of life, and you will find the black man there, holding his own and often even outstripping his white brother in the race for success. Law, medicine, science, art, and literature must all seckon now with him. And in the humbler vocations, as husbandman, laborer, or mechanic, he is fulfilling his destiny and doing his work, steadily, industriously, honestly, and well. We rejoice in the black man's success—yea, in his triumphs. In the face of fearful odds he has won his victories. There is peace and plenty to-day in his home. Happiness sits with him at his heartstone. His children are growing up strong and bright and good, to cheer and bless and reward him. His day has come. God speed him to even better days in the years that are yet to be. Why I am Proud of My Race. BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. It happened to me some years ago that at a public function of some sort I was introduced to a woman of some distinction who had shown considerable interest in the work we have been attempting to do at Tuskegee to educate the colored people along lines that will make them more useful citizens. In talking to her about this work I mentioned casually that I was proud of my race. She looked at me for a moment with an expression of mild surprise and then turned to a gentleman who had been taking part in the conversation and said: "What does Mr. Washington mean?" It was evidently entirely beyond her comprehension, in spite of her friendly feeling for me and my work that a Negro should find anything in his own people to feel proud of. Fortunately, the friend to whom she addressed her question came to my rescue with a few phrases. He said what I meant was that I was proud of the history and traditions of my people, but he did not say what there was in the history and traditions of the Negro of which I might be proud, and I fear that if the lady had pressed her question and asked him to specify just what things he DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1905. thought there were of which a Negro might properly be proud he would have found it difficult to answer. Up to this time I do not think that I myself had thought over carefully the grounds upon which a Negro had a right to face the world and say he was proud of his own people. I had been too busy in the struggle to get something accomplished by others of my race small though it might be, inclined me to think that others would place somewhat the same value on the achievements that I did. Knowing as I did how we had come out of slavery with almost nothing in the way of civilization, except the Christian religion, certain improved methods of labor and the English language, knowing also the struggles and the sacrifices that so many members of my race were making to get the mere tools of higher civilization, namely, a common school education it was natural that I should feel proud of what in spite of mistakes and missunderstandings we had accomplished in forty years, even when it seemed insignificant compared with what the Anglo-Saxon people had accomplished in twelve hundred years. It seemed to me that a race or an individual should be measured by the progress made, from the depth from which he or it has risen, as Mr. Dougiass used to say rather than by the height which remained to be attained. I am still of that opinion. It seems to me that an individual or race may justify fell proud of any achievement, however humble, as long as it represents advance in the right direction. So I am proud of every achievement of my race, however insignificant—every farm purchased, every acre of land well tilled, every house well built—because I know the effort and sacrifice they have cost, and because I know that only by the accumulation of just such humble individual efforts as these the race is going to succeed. I am proud of the possibilities of the Negro race, because of the ardor with which it pursues knowledge and the ease with which it learns, because it is a young race and its future still before it and not behind it as some one has aptly put it. The Anglo-Saxon race has gained pretty nearly all that it holds most dear in the world, its territory and its rights, by conquest and rebellion. The race has acquired in these wars what I heard Professor James of Harvard characterize at the Peace Conference as the "war instinct". An Anglo-Saxon instinctive admires a nation or individual that will fight for its rights; but it is hard for him to understand that there is anything in the patient endurance and capacity for suffering that has enabled the Negro race to survive transportation to a foreign continent and the hardships of two hundred years of slavery. But I am proud of these also. I am proud of the quaint, melancholy and beautiful slave songs in which the sorrow and the hopes of my people once found expression. I am proud that these same slaves proved faithful, in their hour of trial, to the southern people, that when their masters were called from their firesides to war they dared trust their wives and children to these faithful servants and that in all that period of disorder not once was that trust betayed. I am proud that in all discouragements and sometimes even injustices, to which the colored people in this country must still submit, they have the courage to go calmly and patiently forward. I can only reflect that it was these same qualities that enable the early Christians to survive the trials and persecutions to which they were subjected for centuries and made it possible finally for the Christian religion to become the dominant force for human welfare in the modern world. I am proud of my race, finally, because I see it day by day learning to make itself more useful in those communities of which it has become a part and because I believe that in the end it will be found that it has something valuable of its own to contribute to the civilization of the world. Reparate Car Law. The first day of the separate car law passed off as smooth as a Sunday school picnic. There were no conflicts and the only effect was a falling off in the number of Negroes riding. The Negroes who did ride accepted the condition philosophically, and but one or two had to be told where to sit. They entered the car and took the nearest vacant place toward the rear. On a fatherland street car one Negro remarked in a jocular tone: "I reckon I'll move up front." "I reckon you won't" said the conductor, and the incident closed. conductor, and the incident closed. It was said by several conductors that some of the men intend to quit their places through timidity or because they dislike to tell Negroes where to sit. One conductor said that there were several conductors who hail from the North and that they had told a number of fellow employees that they would resign rather than discriminate against colored people. The conductors, however, as a rule are well pleased with the first day's operation of the law, and anticipate that after a day or two there will be no need for them to even tell passengers where to sit.—Nashville American. At Lake Village, Ark., H. C. Cole, a deputy sheriff, was killed by John Williams, a Negro who made his escape last Monday. Troops were sent to Linden, Ala., to prevent the lynching of Robert Richardson, a Negro convicted of the murder of a prominent doctor. Fred Lawrence and Louis Duff, white boys about 22 years of age, are under arrest in Bonham, Tex., charged with an assault upon Miss Eula Teague whom they dragged out of her room through a window, into the yard. Harrisburg, Ill., July 18.—In a quarrel over a girl, Aaron Cole fired four shots at his sweetheart, Effie Stewart, and his rival, Arthur Allen, at Carrier Mills last night, wounding each in the leg. The parties are all colored. Cole was arrested at Mount Carmel. After defying the United States officers for a time, W. O: Heath and two other white men were arrested at Montgomery, Ala., on a charge of peonage. It is alleged that Clifford Harper, a Negro, was held all night on Heath's porch chained about his neck and sold next day to James Adams for $17.50. Lorenzo Miller, a Negro, age thirty six, who had exhibited himself in several of the Eastern cities as a anatomical curiosity is dead near Sanford, N. C. Miller's heart was on his right side, and other of his organs were placed abnormally. The fact that his heart was misplaced was not discovered until he was taken to a hospital following a railroad collision in 1901. Guthrie, Okla., July 18.—Policeman Albert Stoneman shot and killed Rosco Bruce, a Negro soldier of Fort Reno, in El Reno early this morning. Several policemen went to quell a fight in a Negro district. A party of Negro soldiers was ordered to throw up its hands. Bruce refused, and instead, leveled his revolver. He was shot down and killed. The policeman is not held, Lebanon, Mo., July 18.—Fred Eldridge, aged 50, a well-to-do Negro farmer, living near Eldridge, fifteen miles nortwest of Lebanon, was shot from ambush and instantly killed yesterday evening, within a quarter of a mile of his home, as he was returning from work. Fred McDonald, son- NO. 44. in-law of the deceased, is under arrest charged with the crime. He was brought here to prevent a possible lynching. Sumner, Miss., July 19.—F. E. Allen, manager of the Collier place, near Swan lake. and J. T. Barksdale, manager of the James plantation, were shot from ambush and dangerously wounded by two Negro tenants, Henry and Will Harris, this morning. It is reported that bloodhounds brought the Negroes to bay in a cypress swamp, and that a mule ridden by one of the pursuers was shot, and the officers returned the fire. One of the Negroes was brought down with his body literally riddled with bullets. The other Negro eluded the posse. Washington, July 25. The charge of the German embassy here has delivered to the state department a silver watch and chain with the request that they be handed to George C. Ellis, a Negro laborer at the Washington barracks, as a recognition by the German emperor of the action of Ellis in saving the statue of Frederick the Great from damage by the explosion of a package of dynamite placed on the fence surrounding it by a man named Rosseau with the idea of destroying it. On the back of the watch appears the imperial monogram. The watch and chain are inclosed in a handsome leather case. At Carbondale, Ill., last Sunday morning, Frank Campbell, colored, was shot and instantly killed by David Goddard, white, a fireman for the Illinois Central railroad. The Negro called Goddard out of his house and asked for food, which was given him. Without provocation, the Negro, it is alleged, drew a knife and cut Goddard badly about the arms. He afterward returned and sprang toward Goddard in the darkness, when the latter shot him. The men were unknown to each other, and the supposition is that the Negro was insane. Capt. Doe of the steamer Condor, arriving at Mobile, Ala., on the evening of July 14, from Ceiba reports that the Negro McGill, who murdered the crew and eight passengers of the cattle steamer Olympia, has been lynched. When McGill was captured at El Provinci he was placed aboard the Hondurean warship Ta Tumbler and sent back to Utilla Island. The natives were greatly wrought up over the horrible murders and according to Capt. Doe, they first planned to burn the prisoner, but later he was taken from the officials and lynched. The laws of the island forbid capital punishment, and it was this fact caused the lynching.

TAFT PARTY IN JAPAN FETED IN EMPEROR'S PALACE Entertained at Banquet by Premier Katsura—Reception a Tribute Tokio, July 27.—The Emperor and Crown Princess of Japan yesterday received in audience and entertained at luncheon the official members of the party of Secretary of War Taft. Shortly before noon Secretary Taft was driven to the imperial palace in the state carriage. Lloyd C. Griscom, American minister to Japan, escorted Miss Alice Roosevelt to the palace. Crowds of people lined the streets during the passage of the distinguished visitors along the streets to the palace. At the palace the imperial princess and princesses, attended by the royal personages of the Emperor's household, the military and naval staffs, members of the Cabinet, and council of statesmen, assisted in the reception of Secretary Taft and his party. Minister Griscom made the presentations to the Emperor, while Madame Griscom performed a like office when the visitors appeared before the empress. The court presented a brilliant spectacle during the ceremonies. After the presentations all proceeded to the banquet hall where the Emperor sat at the head of the large table in the center, with the crown princess on his right, and Princess Kanin on his left. The Princes Fushimi and Kanin were seated on either side of Secretary Taft and Miss Roosevelt. Minister Griscom and Madam Griscom were seated directly opposite the Emperor.

UINTAH RESERVE REDUCEL Commissioner Says Lands Are Not Generally Good. Denver, Colo., July 22.—The Republican this morning prints the following Washington special: It is probable that within a few days the President will set aside from the unreserved lands of the Uintah-Indian reservation something like 50,000 acres along the Duchesne river, Lake creek and Dry creek, in order that the reclamation service may develop projects for their irrigation. A request was to-day made that these lands be withdrawn and as soon as a detailed statement giving a list of the lands is submitted, the application will be approved, and the lands designated will be withheld from entry. Mr. Richards was to-day shown a copy of the resolutions adopted by the chamber of commerce of Grand Junction last Saturday night, denouncing statements that the Uintah lands are not attractive and declaring them to be as valuable as any lands in Utah. "That is all hot air," said Commissioner Richards. "Those Uintah lands are not as good as any in Utah, and I intend to keep on hammering away, as I have from the first, in the hope of saving money for some poor, misguided individuals who may contemplate going on that reservation expecting to find it a garden spot. "There is some good land on the Uintah reservation, it is true, but there is not much. There is lots of public land in Utah that is better and that can be had on easier term." Proposed Floating Exposition. New York, July 27.—Plans have been completed for an effort by an exporting company of this city to extend American commerce to foreign countries.

Washington, July 26.—Land Commissioner Richards yesterday issued a circular stating what persons are not qualified to make homestead entry of lands of the Uintah Indian reservation. They are: "One—Any person who has made a prior homestead entry and is not entitled to make a second homestead entry. "Two—A married woman, unless she has been deserted or abandoned by her husband. "Three—One not a citizen of the United States and who has not declared his intention to become such. "Four—Any one under twenty-one years of age, not the head of a family, unless he has served in the army or the navy of the United State for not less than fourteen days during actual war. "Five—Any one who is the proprietor of more than 160 acres of land in any state or territory. "Six—One who has acquired title to or is claiming under any of the public land laws, in pursuance of a settlement or entries made since August 30, 1890, an amount of land other than mineral land which with the tract now sought to be entered will exceed in the aggregate 320 acres." As showing what persons under section 1 of the circular may enter Uintah lands, it is stated: Under the act of June 5, 1900, any person who made a homestead entry and commuted the same prior to June 5, 1900, is entitled to make a second homestead entry under the act of May 22, 1902. Any person who made a finel fiveyear proof prior to May 17, 1900, on lands to be sold for the benefit of Indians and paid the price provided by law in opening the land to settlement and who would have been entitled under the "free homestead" law to have received title without such payment, had not proof been made prior thereto, is entitled to make a second homestead entry. Under the act of April 28, 1904, any person who prior to April 28, 1904, made a homestead entry but was unable to perfect the entry on account of some unavoidable complication of his personal business affairs, or on account of an honest mistake as to the character of the land, provided he made a bona fide effort to comply with the homestead law and did not relinquish his entry for a consideration, is entitled to make a second homestead entry. Under section 2 of said act, any person who has made a homestead entry of a quantity of land containing less than 160 acres and is still owning and occupying the same may enter a sufficient quantity of lands contiguous to the lands embraced in his original entry to make up the full amount of 160 acres. Under the act of March 2, 1889, any person who has made a homestead entry for less than 160 acres and has received a receiver's final receipt therefrom is entitled to enter enough additional land and not necessarily contiguous to the original entry, to make 160 acres. FIGHTING YELLOW FEVER. Fifty-four Deaths and Over One Hundred Cases at New Orleans. New Orleans, July 26.—Last night, in response to the request of the State Board of Health, the City Board of Health compiled the figures of suspicious and actual cases of yellow fever and deaths and the figures as issued by the state board show between July 13th and July 21st there were about 100 cases suspicious and positive and twenty deaths. Since then there have been fifty-four cases and twelve deaths up to the 24th, making, all told, 154 cases and thirty-two deaths. Yesterday there were two deaths, making thirty-four to date. There are about fifty cases under treatment. Dr. George B. Young, United States marine hospital service, has been assigned to take charge of the inspection of trains, to co-operate with the states and localities which have instituted quarantines, and he will make his headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi. Prompt daily reports hereafter will enable the health authorities to keep an accurate record. In yesterday's mail was sent out a circular to every physician in the city urging the prompt report of all cases of fever, typhoid, malarial, yellow and otherwise, so that the appearance of new foci may be immediately established, screened and watched. The doctors are also asked to surrender any individual opinions they may have and to co-operate with the state and federal authorities in as rigid an application as possible of the mosquito theory. Subscriptions are being taken to a fund of $100,000 for the maintenance of a detention hospital. Sanitation in the French market quarter, where the disease incubated, continues. That section is now probably in a more cleanly condition than it has been at any time since the war. More Texas Oil Burned. Beaumont, Texas, July 26.—The loss suffered by the Texas company at the Humble oil field by the burning of approximately 2,500,000 barrels of oil was further augmented yesterday at Sour Lake, where lightning struck a tank containing 130,000 barrels belonging to the same company, and another tank containing 100,000 barrels, all of which will be destroyed. Loss, $50,000. President of War College Washington, D. C., July 26.—Brigadier General Thomas H. Barry has been selected for president of the war college at Washington. General Barry is now in Manchuria with the Russian army, and no order will be issued assigning him to his new duties until he returns to the United States. BIG OIL TANKS BURN BIG OIL TANKS BURN LARGE LAKES OF BLAZING OIL Millions of Barrels of Oil Destroyed at Humble, Texas—Twelve Lives Reported Lost. Humble, Tex., July 25.—Fire started Sunday in a tank belonging to the Texas Oil Company, caused by light- ning striking the oil. It was held in check for several hours, but finally spread over a large area. Covering an area of three-quarters of a mile square, with a great canopy of smoke covering two square miles, the oil tanks of the Texas company continue to boil and bubble under the great heat of the burning oil, the fire having burned since Sunday. When it can be extinguished no one guesses. Certainly not until it has burned all of the oil in the eleven big tanks, which held 2,500,000 barrels when lightning struck them Sunday afternoon. The loss of life in the oil fields as near as can be ascertained is twelve, but no names can be ascertained. The company declines to make any estimate of its loss or to give out any insurance figures, but oil men place the loss at 2,500,000 barrels of oil, valued at $52,500; pumping plant, damage to tanks, mules, etc., at $25,000 or more. It is reported that the fire has spread to the tanks of the Guffey company. The property loss, therefore, will be enormous. There are hundreds of homeless people, many of whom are only awaiting a train to go to Houston for shelter. They were living in tents and shacks in the oil field and fled for their lives to the town, away from danger. They left all their belongings and they have been destroyed by fire, which runs out toward the oil field, though it has not been communicated to any of the derricks or wells. Shortly after the big tank began to blaze 200 workmen with seventy-five mules were hurried to the place to throw up earthen embankments to confine the fire to the tank where it originated. Some of them mounted mules and got out, but at least forty of the mules balked and were cremated. Five negroes were seen to go down then and it is not believed possible they could have escaped. Kaiser and Czar Meet. Berlin, July 25.—The foreign office here is advised that a meeting between Emperor William and Emperor Nicholas took place early yesterday off the Swedish coast near the island of Bjoerko. The meeting of the two emperors took place on the initiative of Emperor Nicholas. The prevailing idea is that the Russian Emperor desired an outside opinion from a ruler of his own rank on the internal situation in Russia. His invitation to Emperor William is regarded as being the result of friendship and confidence in him. Although the meeting is considered as being of high importance for Russia, it cannot signify any change in Germany's policies toward Japan or Russia. Emperor William had not seen the Russian Emperor since the autumn of 1903, at Wiesbaden. The German Emperor went within easy distance of St. Petersburg because it would be impolitic for Emperor Nicholas to leave the country and visit German waters. The meeting is a sequence to the correspondence that has been going on between the two emperors concerning peace in which Emperor William urged Emperor Nicholas to take steps toward peace. Cabinet Will Not Resign.. London, July 25.—The government has no intention of resigning in consequence of Thursday's adverse vote. This was the gist of Premier Balfour's eagerly anticipated statement in the House of Commons yesterday. Mr. Balfour, who was heartily cheered by his supporters on rising, tried the patience of his hearers somewhat by a long disquisition on how former administrations had ignored defeats similar to that of Thursday for resignation or dissolution and announced that the government did not propose either to resign or dissolve Parliament because of Thursday's occurrence. The premier considered that it would be a grave evil if the tenure of ministers was made dependent on such votes as that of Thursday. He hoped the practice would never prevail of allowing a government united in itself and possessing the confidence of the majority of the House, to abandon its post merely in consequence of such a vote. Taft Welcomed at Toklo. Tokio, July 25.—The Hochi, Count Okuma's newspaper organ, to-morrow will publish a leading article welcoming the Taft party and gratefully recalling what the United States has been to the Japanese since the time of Commodore Perry—an unerring guide and friend. The policy of the United States toward Japan, the article will say, has been an unbroken record of kindly assistance, politically and commercially. In fact, in all departments of the progress, of modern Japan America's help is clearly traceable. Especially President Roosevelt's successful endeavor in bringing the peace plenipotentiaries together adds a memorable chapter to the already magnificent record of America's invaluable aid to Japan. The paper regrets that the shortness of the party's stay will not admit of an adequate manifestation of the general feeling of gratitude and appreciation toward the government and people to which the distinguished party belongs. The Hochi article is typical of the feeling throughout the empire. Earthquake In Mexico. Mexico City, July 25.—Chilpancino, capital of Guerrero, has experienced a sharp earthquake shock. The residents were much frightened, recalling the destructive earthquake in that city three years ago. The people remained in the open air, following the disturbances, fearing a repetition of the shock. Bargains! Bargains!! Call Early and get Bargains. Jennie Tindell. Phone Main 4885.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver. Colorado. No Republican in Colorado can afford to repudiate the Roosevelt railroad regulation policy. If this policy is not carried out by the Republicans it will be by the Democrats to the detriment of both the railroads and the state. Every peg in the Roosevelt Cab- inet fills the hole tight. ‘They are all big, brainy men, thoroughly representative Americans. They are all self-made men, famous in their homes for their clear-headed- ness and exceptional profesoional or business attainments. The ship of state was never safer than with its present crew. SENSATIONAL LEADERS. The colored people of Denyer could do without sensationalists in any line. A sensation loses its force as soon as it becomes known that there is no reality behind it, and the perpetrator of sensations becomes ignored and despised, as soon as it is learned that his bold pretensions are merely skin-bound inflations which the prick of a pin will cause to collapse. Sensational leadership is one of the dangers menacing the welfare and the ad- vancement of the Negro. There are a number of men and women seattered over the state who have been blessed with intellect, but, un- fortunately, overbalanced with ego- tism, who are continually striving to spring some desperate idea or movement affecting the race and its struggles, which will for once, at least, startle somebody and draw attention to its projectors, such are those who advise desperate meas- ures in retaliation for conditions that arise in the city; those who ad- voeate the protection of the indi- vidual charged with crime, regard- Jess of his guilt; and those who would annihilate prominent mem- bers of the race who do not choose to be identified with every doubt- ful project inaugurated in the name of the race. Every man should be allowed to go about his business in his own way; and when it comes to the business of the public or the race, the last man to be followed or trusted is the one who would pass censure upon others greater than himself, because they ean not bring their superior talents and achievements down to his level of sensational conceit. The race can well spare the misplaced fervor and brilliant egotism of its sensational leaders. WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE. One of our Journal subscribes to the opinion that the Negro does not deserve all that he thinks he ought to have. It points out that he does not save his earnings; he 48 not careful to impress the world that he belongs to the highest type of man, ‘The paper thus supports our the- ory that the highest duty of the race press and race pulpits at the present time is to make war upon the vices of the race. It should be ling extent, our race is abusing the liberties which it already possesses. We sincerely believe that if all of ‘the serious minded and therefore really deserving Negroes of Colo- rado (and there are many such), would make up their minds, as an essential to self preservation and race salvation, to mercilessly corf- demn and constantly oppose the wanton vice and general unworthi- ness inherent in all of our conduct, there would be a vast improvement in the race in the next year. We have many good traits and some Negroes are doing exceptionally well, but it is the general condition to which the newspapers are calling attention. The white man is mak- ing war upon the Negro in many insidious ways, and in some in- stances we are losing ground, he cause we are unable and anfit to hold it. As the newspaper points out, it is not sufficient ground for total discouragement, that we are being deprived of guaranteed rights, for this is a world in which men and races are compelled to de- serve and defend what they pos- sess and hope to enjoy. The Negro who stops for a moment to contem- plate the vast amount of earnest and determined energy which’ the white man is expending in Colo- rado to advance his standing and maintain his supremacy individ- ually and nationaily, will practi- eally realize that the Negro has got to wake up or practically get out of Denver. The white man is not going to earry the Negro up with him. There are no indications that he takes any such charitable view of what he calls the ‘‘white man’s burden.’’ The Negro has got to “‘get up and hump,”’ swim or sink. We are living too easy. We are not serious enough. Our play hours are too long, our business hours too short. We are too nar- row in our vision and too wise in our ignorance. We have got to get down upon a more simple and therefore a more stable foundation. Money saving and industrial activ- ity, elannish support of race enter- prises, honest business and stern determination to promote fairness, encourage virtue and to condemn and punish vice, depravity, profli- gacy and all the weak and unwor- thy characteristies which we have been covering up and tolerating ave imperative duties whose neglect condemns us all. How are these principles to be instilled into the minds of the people? That is a se- rious question. We believe it de- pends upon those already of a so- ber turn of mind. The complaints of the press or of individuals can do no good unless some action: is aroused. The remedy does not lie in big, showy conventions, where men display their oratory and their poverty. It is a matter for com- munities to take up. The sober men and women who think of these things should get together and plan. Co-operation, not in a sin- gle business effort, but in the sup- port of enterprises already estab- lished or to be started, would be a thing worthy of long discussion and earnest trial. Educate and elevate the social and business ideas of the people, and lead and teach them by the most practical and worthy of examples. ’ NEWEST CURE FOR CANCER, ‘One Said to Have Been Found in Iron Ore Bogs of Indiana. Sole etre Tie ee REET } What many people regard as a cure for cancer has been discovered here in the oily slime from the fron ore bogs which unites with it properties of fron from the ore deposits, says a Winamac, Ind., special to the Cincin- nati Enquirer. The discovery was ‘made by a tile ditcher working in the bogs. He was afflicted with cancer of ‘the face, and while working felt in- clined to scratch the affected parts. Instead, however, he cooled the dis: eased part with a handful of the slime from one of the pools. The itch stopped at once, and within a few months he declared the cancer cured. Several other persons suffering from cancer tried the same treatment and all declare themselves rid of the mat- ady, among them being John G. Boyles, ex-surveyor of Pulaski county, whose face and eyes were affected. ‘The waters, which are said to ef. fect the cure, contain decayed vegeta- tion from blue flags, water lilies, bit- ter iron weed, cattails, torooch grass, swamp willows and sage brush. ‘This compound mixes with the {ron-tine- tured ooze through the fall and winter, after which it 1s sald to possess the magic qualities which cure. Bleached the Darky’s Hair Saved Friends From Siberia Damsel Very Much Shocked Atmosphere Is a Tonic On the Western Trail William LaRue, alias “Harry Billy,” one of the principal clowns with the Norris & Rowe Greater cireus that is headed this way, is an inveterate prac- tical joker, says the Butte Inter Moun- tain. He is always up to some mis- chief and is constantly doing some- thing to evoke the laughter of his companions. His most recent escapade nearly caused the complete collapse of one of the employes of the circus. LaRue has his stateroom on the circus train fixed up very attractively and among other toilet articles upon his dresser is always to be found a bottle of Florida water. George Webb, the dusky porter of the train, who rejoices in the cogno- men of “Pork Chops,” presumably on account of his fondness for that meat, is quite a dandy in his way. On sev- eral occasions LaRue caught “Pork Chops” purloining his Florida water and applying goodly quantities to his kipky wool. Happy Billy determined to teach “Pork Chops” @ lesson, so removing the balance of the perfume he substituted in its stead a bottle full of peroxide, knowing the darky could not detect the difference for a while and calmly awaited results. It was with much satisfaction that WaRue saw “Pork Chops” continue to apply the liquid to his head and it wasn’t long before the powerful stuff Dr, Carl Joubert, author of “Russia as It Really Is,” tells this plain little story of how he rescued three men— Dr, Alexander Bogdanoviteh and two others—from exile in Siberia, It was necessary to bribe the sergeant of the “rota” or prisoners’ convoy. Dr. Joubert says: “We sat down side by side at the edge of the forest. ‘Tell me, sergeant,’ I said, ‘if I were to place a 60 ruble (a ruble is 51% cents) note on your eye could you see?’ ‘No, doctor, I should not be able to see with that eye, but I could see out of the other.” ‘Oh, you could! ‘Well, then, 50 rubles on your other eye would make you totally blind?’ “Yes, doctor, I should be blind for life. There are so many colors in a 100- Tuble note that it is impossible to see through it, I am told.’ ‘Now let us come to an understanding. I place a 50-ruble note on each of your eyes and you are then blind. Now, supposing that I should place another upon your mouth would you lose your power of speech?’ ‘A man cannot speak with ‘his mouth full of paper, gospodin.

Thus it was that she ‘Was shocked beyond redemption last ‘week by a statement from a well- meaning Mexican who was trying to show her that his especial laundress was capable of turning out most ex quisitely whitened and well done clothes. ‘The little woman wears a great deal of white—waists and skirts —and she grew quite fidgety over the thought of how to get them done up ‘to her entire satisfaction here in Mex- {fco.

Of course the more he used, the blonder his head turned. By this time the entire circus was interested and amus- ed at “Pork Chops’” perplexity. He scented a practical joke, but could not just locate the cause. Finally his hair turned a beautiful blonde and that was the finish for the darkey. He rushed to Norris & Rowe with a de spairing cry, “For Gawd’s sake, bosses, wat you all ‘spose is de mattah wid my hair?” The circus owners looked him over and he was indeed a sight. “Why,” said they, “you'ye been using peroxide. Where did you get it? You'd better see a doctor quick.” “Pork Chops” was in no position to tell where he got it. He simply rushed to a doctor and has been un- der treatment ever since. He was a mightily scared darky and it is safe to say that LaRue can leave all his toilet articles around loose now and there is one darky who will never touch them, for it has cured him completely of the habit cf sampling what does not belong to him. are a doctor who knows well the medi- cine to prescribe for every disease.’ “‘Very good,’ I said. ‘Now, when you are blind and speechless, what are you going to do?’ ‘You may leave that to me, doctor.

You shall have as many as you wish, but you must remember that we have only a little more than 600 of them, and therefore, gospodin, you will not ask for 700 birds.’ ‘Good heavens, no! I only want four or five at the outside,’ I exclaimed, as- tounded by the potency of the medi- cine I had prescribed. ‘Only five!’ said the sergeant. ‘Then you can take off 50 rubles.’ ” But the doctor wouldn't take back any of his medicine and eventually added another 50. So the sergeant got 200 rubles and soon after left the service and started a pothouse in Mos- cow on the proceeds. Dr. Joubert, after a rather hard time of it, finally got his fugitives safely across the whole of Siberia and Russia and be- yond the German frontier. could find she addressed a word or two to her Mexican guide. The guide knows English just sufficiently well to get himself misunderstood. “St, Senorita,” he said, nodding his head as if it were attached with very flexible strings. “My lavandera, she wash much good clothes.” “Does she wash your collars?” asked the maiden from the Northland. “Bi, Senorita, she wash ‘em all clothes of mine,” and the Mexican dis- played crisp edges of the collar as proof of the good work done. “Does she also wash your shirts?” queried the girl, at the same time taking hold of his coat and viewing the shirt. “Si, Senorita”—and the Mexican grew enthusiastic—“she wash ‘em much good.

Stewart Edward White, who last spring "achieved the climax of a life of hazard and wild experience by marrying a Newport girl," as a newspaper observed, has been enjoying the unique honeymoon after "The Virginian" pattern. He and his wife have been camping alone, far from any sort of civilization, in the wilds of the Sierra. Although this is Mrs. White's first experience in out-of-door living, she sends back word of enthusiasm well with it all. She sleeps on the ground, eats fare with relish and thoroughly enters into the spirit of the life so vividly described in her husband's books.

Mr. Sato, in an interview last night, said: "I am confident that peace will be successfully negotiated by the appointed delegations. The Japanese will be guided by mocation, and no excessive demands will be made, but the sentiment in Japan and Russia is for peace, and in the interests of humanity and property there must be peace. "The cost to Japan has been very great. On both sides the loss in men has been 570,000, Russia losing 370,000 of these. The was is costing Japan $1,000,000 a day, and there is a feeling that there ought to be an indemnity. "The Japanese are not so gentle as to abide by any decision we may make, but they pay great respect to the offices of President Roosevelt and his acts have done a great deal to emphasize the need of peace." Mr. Sato further said that the Japanese would prefer to have the negotiations in the English language, as neither Baron Komura nor himself speaks French. The matter, however, would be settled after President Roosevelt had met the two representatives. As to the attitude of the Japanese members toward the Russian delegates, Mr. Sato said: "We admire M. Witte and Baron Rosen. The announcement of M. Witte's appointment to the peace party was more welcome to us than that of any other person could have been. We recognize him as a great statesman." Japan's attitude toward China was most friendly, said Mr. Sato, and while maintaining no moral Monroe doctrine over the empire, she felt that it was more or less under Japan's protection. This protection, by way of illustration, Mr. Sato said, was "not so strong over China as that of the United States over South America." Mr. Sato emphasized the announcement made frequently before, that Japan does not seek territorial aggrandement, and on this point the speaker said: "We want in Manchuria equal opportunity, or what Mr. Hay called the 'open door.'" INSURANCE LICENSES. Colorado Commissioner Reaches Out for Amounts Uncollected. Denver, July 26.—The state insurance commissioner reports that his investigations indicate that the insurance companies operating in Colorado have managed to evade taxation to an amount approximating $75,000. He is reaching out to collect unpaid license fees that have become due during the past six years and expects to gather in from $15,000 to $20,000 within the next few weeks from this source. The law provides that insurance companies (not the solicitors) shall take out a yearly license for each and every solicitor and pay the sum of $2 therefor. But all this time the companies have been sending in lists of agents each year and at the same time receiving business from agents for whom they have paid no license, although possibly these agents may have been licensed for other companies, which by no means fulfills the requirements of the law. When he began to check up, the present commissioner found that ten agencies were owing the state (for the six years past for which the statute of limitations will permit him to collect) as follows: $20, $64, $114, $126, $240, $228, $424, $498, $508. There are over 200 insurance companies doing business in the state so it can be seen what the outlook is for replenishing the treasury from this source. When Commissioner Rittenhouse began this work the agents of some of the companies refused to permit him to examine their books, but soon discovered that the law authorizes him to do so. Although it has been seldom enforced, the law empowers the auditor of state, who is ex-officio superintendent of insurance, to administer oaths, subpoena witnesses and punish for contempt by fine or imprisonment any company or agent refusing to permit an examination of its or his books. But, while there has been some opposition, many agents are said to be anxious to see the law rigidly enforced, as it promises to weed out a considerable number of worthless and irresponsible agents. Altogether the insurance department has already collected $169,000 in fees, etc., this year and expects to bring the sum up to $200,000 before the year closes. Emulating Mrs. Nation. Clay Center, Kan., July 26.—Eight prominent temperance women smashed a joint at Industry owned by John Peterson. With hatchets they broke open a barrel of whisky and several cases of beer. Six men were in the joint drinking. The women knocked the glasses from their hands. The joint was thoroughly wrecked. Peterson has left for his home in Junction City. Oil Fire Extinguished. Houston, Tex., July 26.—The fire in the Texas company's tanks at the Humble oil fields is practically extinguished. There is still a bit of oil in the bottom of the eleventh tank, but this, it is thought, will be burned out before morning. The charred remains of eight persons have been found and the search still continues. The loss is now estimated at $875, 100 in oil and tank damage. AIDS NATURE'S WORK AIDS NATURE'S WORK EFFECT OF ACETYLENE RAYS ON GROWTH OF PLANTS. Grow to Twice Actual Weight of Those Exposed to Sunlight Only—Latest Victory for This New and Beautiful Illuminant. The experiments recently made at Cornell University prove that the beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene, are as effective as sunlight on the growth of plants, and this may soon become a subject for serious consideration by all progressive cultivators of the soil. The results of the experiments are astonishing, inasmuch as they show conclusively the great increase of growth attained by supplementing "The Light of Nature" with "The Light of Acetylene" during the hours in which the plants would otherwise be in darkness. For instance, a certain number of radish plants subjected to acetylene light during the night, grew to twice the actual weight of the same number of radishes given daylight only, all other conditions being equal, and peas had blossomed and partially matured pods with the help of acetylene light, while without the added light not even buds were apparent. Acetylene is already taking its place as an illuminant for towns from a central plant, for lighting houses, churches, schools and isolated buildings of all kinds, and it is being used successfully for many other purposes. A striking and important feature of acetylene is the ease and small expense with which it can be made available compared with the great advantages derived from its use. The machine in which the gas is generated is easily installed. Our Seven-League Boots. With the Pennsylvania railroad's eleighteen-hour train to Chicago actually making the run on its first test in sixteen hours, the possibilities of transcontinental travel burst upon one's imagination with startling force. Chicago is something less than 900 miles from New York City. San Francisco is 3,000 miles distant. Without reckoning that competition in speed making, the introduction and development of the electric motor for general railway purposes and the other factors hastening this country to newer and faster transportation performances will probably further cut down the running time between New York and Chicago, it is a very simple calculation to conclude that it is not either impossible or improbable that a special train, or perhaps one regularly scheduled, could cover the space between New York and San Francisco—roughly three times that between New York and Chicago—in three times the hours needed for the trip from here to Chicago, or forty-eight hours, or two days! If the evolution of railway dashes across the continent is to be continued—and who can doubt that it will—it is not a far flight of the imagination to picture the time when all the United States may be regarded as suburbs of New York City, with the commuter wending his daily way to the great lakes or the Gulf of Mexico for a peaceful night's sleep afar from the roar of the metropolis.—New York Press. California Rattlesnakes. Rattlesnakes in large numbers have been reported as infesting the hill slopes just behind the University of California grounds, and there is a belief that the record-breaking rattler that was killed a few months ago was the mother of this large brood of young snakes. E. A. Bailey was almost stung by a rattler that attacked him while he was surveying on the hills yesterday. A few days ago a party of boys were found playing with a dead rattler just behind the Greek Theatre.—San Fran cisco Call. CHANGED HUSBAND Wife Made Wise Change in Food. Change of diet is the only way to really cure stomach and bowel trouble. A woman says: "My husband had dyspepsia when we were married and had suffered from it for several years. It was almost impossible to find anything he could eat without bad results. "I thought this was largely due to the use of coffee and persuaded him to discontinue it. He did so, and began to drink Postum Food Coffee. The change did him good from the beginning, his digestion improved; he suffered much less from his nervousness, and when he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet he was soon entirely cured. "My friend, Mrs. — — —, of Vicksburg (my former home) had become a nervous wreck also from dyspepsia. Medicines had no effect, neither did travel help her. On my last visit home, some months ago, I persuaded her to use Grape-Nuts food. She was in despair, and consented. She stuck to it until it restored her health so completely that she is now the most enthusiastic friend of Grape-Nuts that I ever knew. She eats it with cream or dry, just as it comes from the package—keeps it in her room and eats it whenever she feels like it. "I began eating Grape-Nuts food, myself, when my baby was two months old, and I don't know what I should have done without it. My appetite was gone, I was weak and nervous and afforded but very little nourishment for the child. The Grape-Nuts food, of which I soon grew very fond, speedily set all this right again, and the baby grew healthful, rosy and beautiful as a mother could wish. He is two years old now and eats Grape-Nuts food himself. I wish every tired young mother knew of the good that Grape-Nuts would do her." Names given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. NORWAY AND SWEDEN NORWAY AND SWEDEN ACTION OF SWEDISH RIGSDAG Stockholm, Sweden, July 27.—The Cabinet has resigned as a result of the Riksdag's action in disapproving the government proposition for adjustment of the trouble with Norway. The special committee appointed by the Riksdag to deal with the crisis which created the revolution yesterday delivered its report. The committee declares unanimously that the government bill cannot be adopted in the form in which it was presented to the Riksdag and proposes that the Riksdag shall signify its willingness if the newly elected Storthing requests a repeal of the act of union and a dissolution of the union or if such request is received from Norway after the Norwegian people by a plebiscite have declared in favor of a dissolution of the union. The committee recommends that in the event of a dissolution of the union, Sweden should insist on the following terms: "First—The establishment of a zone on each side of the frontier separating the kingdoms, within which the existing fortifications shall be razed and fortifications may not be erected. "Third—That the transit trade through both countries shall be secured against unjustifiable obstruction. "Fourth—That the status of Sweden in respect to foreign powers as established by treaty shall be clearly defined, so that Sweden shall be completely freed from responsibility for Norway to other states." The committee also regards an arbitration convention between Sweden and Norway as desirable, although it does not consider it an essential condition for the dissolution of the Union. The committee further proposes to authorize the government to raise a loan of $25,000,000 which, by a resolution of the Rigsdag, be made available for such readjustments and arrangements as may be necessitated by the new conditions. Regarding eventful negotiations with Norway, the committee declares that "Whatever may be demanded for the welfare and dignity of Sweden as a condition of the repeal of the act of union on the part of Sweden and of the recognition of Norway, must be claimed and adhered to with vigor and determination." The preamble of the committee's report is a lengthy recitation of the events leading up to the committee's appointment, claiming that Sweden made all possible concessions in order to maintain the union. Despite these efforts the differences grew until they climaxed in the revolution. "It is self-evident," declares the committee, "that the union was not dissolved by the Storthing's action. A contract can not be broken by one party's parliament. Therefore the Storthing's action can only be considered as Norway's declaration that she does not desire any longer to maintain it. It is for Sweden to decide what action is necessary." "According to the laws she would be fully justified in using the necessary force to re-establish the union. This would seem to be the natural course in the first excitement, but reflection shows that it would be against the true interests of Sweden. There was great mutual advantage in the union, but its maintenance by force would make the union a source of weakness instead of strength. Sweden should not therefore employ force, but must insist that its permission is necessary to its dissolution. Sweden must agree to the cancellation of the act of union on certain conditions, insisting as a preliminary on a satisfactory settlement of all affairs mutually affecting the two countries." Wyoming Treasurer Enjoined. Cheyenne, Wyo., July 27.—The State Supreme Court has issued, on motion of the town of Lander, a permanent injunction restraining W. C. Irvine, state treasurer, from paying to the trustees of the State University the annual agricultural college allowance of $25,000. The injunction was granted too late to prevent the payment of the 1905 appropriation, as the money already is in the hands of the trustees, but the town of Lander may take steps to prevent the trustees from making use of it. The injunction was granted on the ground that the removal of the State Agricultural College from Lander to Laramie by the last Legislature was unconstitutional, such action being possible only by a two-thirds vote of the qualified electors of the state. Game Warden's Work. Denver, July 27.—Game Commissioner Woodard returned to Denver Tuesday after a month spent at Trappers' lake at the head of White river. In company with Game Warden Kincald, they took 2,880,000 fish eggs from the native trout in the lake. Of these, 1,600,000 were distributed to the hatchery at Steamboat Springs and 480,000 were brought to the Denver hatchery. While away he reports having secured the conviction of two men for having killed a deer out of season. They were John Sherrill and George T. Learn of New Castle. A magistrate at Meeker fined them $25 each and costs. Death List Increased. San Diego, Cal., July 27.—The list of the Bennington dead now numbers sixty-two. At 4 o'clock this morning S. C. Tacate, a Japanese mess attendant, expired, and at 9:30 to-night H. A. Metius, pay clerk, passed away. The case of Metius was peculiar. He was able to walk up town after the accident and was thought not to have been badly injured. After his wounds had been dressed he was out on the streets. Suddenly he collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital on a stretcher. It is supposed that the snock and a weak heart were the causes of his death. An Ohio Fruit Raiser, 78 Years Old, Sured of a Terrible Case after Ten Years of Suffering. Sidney Justus, fruit dealer, of Mentor, Ohio, says: "I was cured by Doan's Kidney Pills of a severe ease of kidney trouble, of eight or ten years' standing. I suffered the most severe backache and other pains in the region of the kidneys. TOMMY BIDENY JUSTUS the kidneys. These were especially severe when stooping to lift anything and often I could hardly straighten my back. The aching was bad in the day time, but just as bad at night, and I was always lame in the morning. I was bothered with rheumatic pains and dropsical swelling of the feet. The urinary passages were painful and the secretions were discolored and so free that often I had to rise at night. I felt tired all day. Half a box served to relieve me, and three boxes effected a permanent cure." Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Famous Trainer of Monkeys. Jacob Cook, for thirty years an attendant in Central Park, New York City, whose death from heat prostration has just occurred, was one of the best known trainers of monkeys in the world. He entered the park service as a laborer but it was not long before he became attached to the menagerie and finally became identified exclusively with the monkey house. He showed the greatest affection for his pets there and nursed many through long illnesses. The trainer's greatest triumphs were achieved in the education of "Mister Crowley" and "Kittie Crowley," chimpanzees which were world-renowned attractions and did innumerable tricks. Cook was noted among other things for his peculiar idea of an enjoyable vacation. It was to visit graveyards and copy inscriptions from tombstones. Year after year, accompanied by his wife, he made pilgrimages to the cemeteries, not only of New York and the suburbs, but far into New England, and invariably returned with an interesting collection of epitaphs. 15 YEARS OF TORTURE. Itching and Painful Sores Covered Head and Body—Cured In Week By Cuticura. "For fifteen years my scalp and forehead was one mass of scabs, and my body was covered with sores. Words cannot express how I suered from the itching and pain. I had given up hope when a friend told me to get Cuticura. After bathing with Cuticura Soap and applying Curicura Ointment for three days, my head was as clear as ever, and to my surprise and joy, one cake of soap and one box of ointment made a complete cure in one week.

A St. Louis criminal court judge has decided that "the closing of barber shops on Sunday, the day of all days on which the average man desires to appear clean and well clad, would be unreasonable, uncalled for, serving no good purpose or end, and would be, as a matter of fact, detrimental to the general public morals." The Colorado theory is that the barber has the same right to his day of rest as any other self respecting American citizen, and having performed a valuable moral as well as physical service to the community on six days of the week, he has, on the seventh, some rights that the public ought to be compelled to respect.—Pueblo Chieftait TEA There is better tea than you suspect; and yours is probably worse than you suspect.

Why do we lead all the nations of the earth in prosperity, happiness and individual contentment? Why are we, as a people, regarded at an invincible power of impregnable strength? And why do we compel the admiration of the whole world-at times grudgingly given, but given, anyhow? It is because we are free and independent in the truest meaning of the words. We think for ourselves, act for ourselves, govern ourselves more than the people of any other nation. We are absolutely self-reliant, a national trait that renders us independent of all other nations. Independence is the keynote of our supremacy. And this is the reason why up-to-date grocers and storekeepers appreciate the fact that Americans of both sexes have strong wills of their own, and do not need interested advice. Every up-to-date grocer knows perfectly that for more than a quarter of a century Lion Coffee has been the leading package coffee and a welcome drink at the tables of millions of American homes. He knows—and everybody else knows—that it has always kept its old friend the best of new ones. Good, reliable, trustworthy, will willingly acknowledge this, and all independent housekeepers will insist upon having Lion Coffee and no other, no matter what kind of an argument grocers of obstinate principles may advance. Americans want the best and they get the best and purest in Lion Coffee. On Feeding Children.

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 sixteen ounces—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in three-quarter-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a twelve-ounce 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 ounces." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. "Sorry I can't stay with you," said the lamp to the lovers, "but I've got to go out."

Wireless telegraphy has been an accomplished fact for about five years, so the public has become rather familiar with it, at least by hearsay, but now comes an entirely new application of it which will probably revolutionize the method of controlling railway trains as completely as the railway itself revolutionized transportation methods. By means of wireless telegraphy it is now possible for an engineer to be warned of the approach of another train on the same track. The whole process is automatic. The transmitting instrument on one train sends a signal which is recorded in the cab of the other by means of a bell and colored lights, showing the engineer at a glance approximately how far away the first train is, and whether it is coming from in front or behind. With such a system working effectually the last vestige of danger of collisions would be removed. There would be no more frightful smashups which occur so frequently through the misreading of orders. Every engineer would know at all times whether he had a clear track ahead of him, and thus one of the greatest elements of danger in railroading would be removed. The possibilities of wireless telegraphy are only beginning to be realized, and it is quite certain that in a few years the invention will take its place as one of the most useful products of electrical science—Colorado Springs Gazette.

Not only that it is pure, but that you are not deceived in the description of its contents and condition. Some flaked breakfast foods that have thus far failed are now being advertised in close imitation of the Grape-Nuts advertising, thinking in that way to finally make a success of the failure. But false statements of the merits of human food will never on earth build up a business. These flaked foods are not pre-digested. They are not fully cooked and the starch in them is starch still, and has not been turned to sugar as claimed. Chemical analysis tells the truth and the analysis of the famous chemists of the world show Grape-Nuts the only prepared breakfast food in which the starch part of the wheat and barley has been transformed into sugar and therefore ready for immediate digestion. Why is this true? All the thin rolled flake foods are made by soaking the grains of wheat or oats in water, then rolling, drying and packing. These operations do not cook or pre-digest the starch. Contrasted with this pretense, observe the care, method and skill in making Grape-Nuts. The barley is soaked about one hundred hours, then it is slowly warmed for some days and sprouted, the diastase being developed and part of the starch turned to sugar (and later on all of it), then the grains are baked and the sprouts stripped off. Then comes grinding, slifting and mixing with the creamy colored flour made from white and maccaroni wheat. This mixture must be skillfully made in right proportions. This blended flour contains just the ingredients demanded by nature to rebuild the soft gray substance in the nerve centers and brain, but how to make the food easy to digest, that was the question. It certainly would not do to mix in drugs, for there is a certain failure sure to come to the person depending on drugs to digest food. They may do for a temporary expedient, but pure food and digestible food is the only final resort and safe way. So to change the remaining starch part and prepare the other elements in this blended flour it is made up into massive loaves like bread, the inside being dark cream color and quite sticky to the touch. These loaves are sliced and again go through long cooking at certain temperatures. Then the rock hard slices are each one carefully inspected and ground ready for packing and use, having gone through 10 or 12 hours in the different operations. When finished, each little granule will show a sparkling substance on its surface. A magnifying glass will bring it out clearer and develop little pieces of pure dextrose sugar, not put on "or poured over" (as the head of a large Sanitarium once stated in his paper, thus exposing his appalling ignorance of food processes), but this sugar exudes from the interior of each as the starch is slowly turned to sugar in the process of manufacture. This kind of sugar is exactly like what is found in the human intestines, provided the starch of the grains, potatoes, bread, rice, cake, etc., has been perfectly digested. But many are weak in that form of digestion, and yet need the starches, so Grape-Nuts supplies them pre-digested and ready to go quickly into the blood. Visitors are shown freely through the works and can follow the steps of making Grape-Nuts from the grain to the finished product. The proportions of different kinds of flour, and the temperatures are not disclosed and it seems impossible for others to steal these secrets of the makers. But purity, cleanliness and skill are shown in every corner of the immense pure food factories. People who care for results from choiceily selected food, those who want the food to rebuild the soft gray substance in brain and nerves that give the go, the vigor, the life, will understand why theimitators who try to copy the announcements about Grape-Nuts have failed in the past. There's a reason for Grape-Nuts and a profound one. COLORADO NEWS ITEMS Grand Junction has been named as one of the points of registration for the Uintah reservation opening.

Will Bear Reading Until it Is Fully Understood. The following long sentence, relating to the domain of corporation property, is from an address recently delivered by Judge Peter S. Grosscup of Chicago before the Ohio State Bar Association: "When the deeper judgment of the Nation is reached; when the vested interests of this country come to see that their greatest security lies in having all about them neighboring vested interests—a proprietorship that reaches out and out until, carrying reasonable security, it is within the reach of all; when the men who toll for wages, without abating their appreciation of their present protective agencies, come to actually wish for an individual share in the country's property; when the country wakes up to the consciousness that benevolence is not the only thing that is human; that just dealing is not the only thing that is human; but that individual ambition to get on in life is human also; that the wish for a career is human; that individual independence is human; that some share in the world's inheritance from nature is human; when the spirit that inspired the pre-emption and homestead laws—peopleizing the domain that fell to our fathers—revives in us, dealing, as we have to do, with the larger and more difficult domain that has fallen to us; when the public mind and heart have been lighted up, ways will be found, abundant ways, to infuse into this new property domain of the Republic, even though embodies in corporate form, the widespread personal interest and individuality that alone gives to property its fullest utility as an agency for good, and alone saves to private property its place as one of the republican institutions of the country." Especially for Women. Champion, Mich., July 24th.—(Special)—A case of especial interest to women is that of Mrs. A. Wellett, wife of a well known photographer here. It is best given in her own words. "I could not sleep, my feet were cold and my limbs cramped," Mrs. Wellett states. "I had an awful hard pain across my kidneys. I had to get up three or four times in the night. I was very nervous and fearfully despondent. "I had been troubled in this way for five years when I commenced to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and what they caused to come from my kidneys will hardly stand description. "By the time I had finished one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills I was cured. Now I can sleep well, my limbs do not cramp, I do not get up in the night and I feel better than I have in years. I owe my health to Dodd's Kidney Pills." Women's ills are caused by Diseased Kidneys; that's why Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure them. From Ocean Depths.

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from Miseries of Indigestion. Thousands of sufferers know that the reason why they are irritable and depressed and nervous and sleepless is because their food does not digest, but how to get rid of the difficulty is the puzzling question. Good digestion calls for strong digestive organs, and strength comes from a supply of good rich blood. For this reason Mr. Baysson took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion. "They have been my best doctor," he says. "I was suffering from dyspepsia. The pains in my stomach after meals were almost bearable. My sleep was very irregular and my complexion was sallow. As the result of using eight boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, about the merits of which I learned from friends in France, I have escaped all these troubles, and am able again to take pleasure in eating." A very simple story, but if it had not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills it might have been a tragic one. When discomfort begins with eating, fills up the intervals between meals with pain, and prevents sleep at night, there certainly cannot be much pleasure in living. A final general breaking down must be merely a question of time. Mr. Joseph Baysson is a native of Aix-les-Bains, France, but now resides at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco, Cal. He is one of a great number who can testify to the remarkable efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the treatment of obstinate disorders of the stomach. If you would get rid of nausea, pain or burning in the stomach, vertigo, nervousness, insomnia, or any of the other miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the weakness of the digestive organs by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are sold by drugists everywhere. Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in forwarding recovery once begun, and a little book, "What to Eat and How to Eat," may be obtained by any one who makes a request for it by writing to the Dr. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady, N.Y. This valuable diet book contains an important chapter on the simplest means for the cure of constipation. It is easy to contract a cold, but it's still easier to expand one.

In Massachusetts, at the town of Ware, there is a hen with a wooden leg. While a chicken, a stone thrown at the bird caused the removal of its leg. The owner thereof had a wooden substitute fitted, and on this the hen has stumped about the farmyard. She uses it as a means of defense and can easily stand on it while scratching for food with the whole leg. At night, when roosting, she allows the wooden leg to hang down behind the perch.

Mrs. Emma Sawyer Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most efficient treatment for kidney troubles of women, and is the only medicine especially prepared for this purpose. When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices a brick-dust sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of saving her life. For proof, read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer. "I cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A derangement of the female organs developed nervous prostration and a serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until I was unable to do anything, and I made up to try Lydia E.

How to Fix Silk Stockings. Who dances must pay the piper, and who wears fine clothes must go to trouble. And the purport of this is that if you will wear silk stock- ings and can’t afford a maid to wash them for you, you'd better do it your- self, rather than send them out with ‘the ordinary wash. Some experts say that delicate silk and lace stockings should always be ‘cleaned with benzine, but benzine is 80 odorous that it should be used only when absolutely necessary, and here it is not. The most cobwebby quall- ty will come out whole and unstreaked if they are washed in bran water. , Buy the bran at a drug store, and, if one is going away for the summer, take a quantity of it. Put a handful of it into a basin of tepid water, souse and squeeze the stockings in ‘it and rinse in the same way. Do not wring, and if the stockings are colored, be sure to dry in the shade and, what is better still, in the ldark, that they may not fade. If jwashed in the afternoon and hung ‘near a window, they will dry over- ‘night. ‘ in Laundered Materials. reshly cleaned or laundered mulls, laces and linens appeal to every woman of refinement far more than richer materials and accessories that can not be cleaned, and so it is more than probable that the present reign of Ungerie accessories for run-about shopping, traveling and gowns for other than ceremonies or evening wear will continue. Short skirts—and they seem to grow shorter every week—with short tons having elbow sleeves and cut away around the neck to a V-shaped section of the white underblouse, or else bodices gathered into a belt and with elbow sleeve and deep V's designed to meet the new guimpe and under. sleeves fad, are seen on many fash- foanble: women. ‘Sometimes these guimpes and sleeves are of rich crochet over some thin material. In this case the undersleeves are tight cuffs from the elbows to the wrists and the stock attached to the guimpe 4s high and is feather-boned. Meddling With the Posies. A new and popular fad is to have flowers of peculiar colors, different from that which nature gives them. ‘To effect a change in the color of a flower, pour a Jittle ether into a small glass, and to it add one-tenth of its quantity of strong amimonia water. ‘With this simple and easily made mix- ture you may change to a bright green aay flower that is red or violet. Al! - PG, on 2 an if ih +] | ; : if if d ep Wh (i A Ht uN E yi ae a op) ml eo you have to do is to dip the flower into the mixture, and the change will at once take place. Yellow flowers are not changed by this process, but white ones usually turn to a yellow or a deep orange tone. The action of the fluid is almost in- stantaneous, and you may vary the experiment by sprinkling some flowers, instead of dipping them, which will give a spotted effect. Somewhat similar results may be produced by using ammonia only, but the process is a longer one. Pith the Ae gee OO Se oigtide ye eles Ue Don’t dry the face with a rough towel if you want to keep the skin smooth; instead use a fine damask one, and “dab” the face with it. This preserves the delicate apeparance of the skin. For dry hair an effective wash is one part glycerine to three parts rose- water, with five grains of salt of tartar to atout one-half pint of the lotion. All lotions must be well shaken before using. Clean windows in damp weather with a little methylated spirit, and you will have no difficulty in polishing them. Stains on the bands can be removed by rubbing with salt moistened with lemon juice. A grease spot can be removed from leather by applying a little benzine. It may make the surface dull, but you can restore the polish with the white of an egg. Suspender. Frock. The suspender frock is pretty and Practical enough to hold its own throughout the season. One costume of this sort is a trifle less infantile than the regulation suspender models, It is made of soft-finish taffeta in “Alice” blue and has a skirt with small box plaits all around flaring from knee depth. A short, jaunty bo- lero with wide collar and straps gives an exceedingly chic effect; these are embroidered in self-tone silk. The tops of sleeves are silk and the deep cuff matches the lingerie blouse worn under the jacket, Preparina for Gectember, Ifa woman is choosing a serviceable fabric for an early September gown, she could do no better than to pick up some bargains of fine French voile.

These are made with box-plaited skirts and surpliced blouses with round chemisette and long tight sleevelets of fine white batiste and Valenciennes and Mechlin insertions, all done by hand. With them are worn high soft belts of crushed leather in ivory white. Tailored Linen Suit. A tailored coat and skirt of linen is @ practical thing if thoroughly shrunk before making and well tailored, though the cheap cotton and skirt suits of linen are likely to be distress- ing objects after their first tubbing. ‘Tailors who cater to exclusive trade are making up severely tailored suits of linen with rather short reeferlike coats, semi-fitting in the back. straight in front and finished with plain coat Pale blue linen gown trimmed with pale blue cord. collar and coat sleeves. ‘These coats usually button in double-breasted fash- ion, with large pearl buttons, and are strapped and heavily stitche’. The skirt is gored and strapped or plaited in some severe way, but any plaited skirt drives the ordinary Iaundress to despair and failure, and the plain gored skirts look better in the long run, Pickled Cherries, Pickled cherries are the most de- licious of relishes, and one that can- not be purchased for love or money. For this purpose select large, rather tart, cherries with the stems on, wash and pack into fruit jars, making them about three-quarters full, Bring to a scald one quart of elder vinesar, one cupful of white sugar, two dozen whole cloves and twelve blaies of mace, with a few pleces of stick cin- ramon.

Uae eng ee ee Lying awake is often a habit. It ig worth almost any effort to break up such a habit, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Insomnia is usually the result of one of three things—poor circulation, in- digestion or mental distress. ‘The person who studies himself carefully, will be able to locate the difficulty and treat himself accordingly. , For poor circulation try warm baths, warm-water bottles, brisk rubbing, soaking the feeting and deep breath-, ‘ing. _ For indigestion take a warm drink before retiring or when _ sleepless. Drink warm water, warm milk, weaiz tea or cocoa and breathe deeply. For mental distress mere will power is the best. Close the eyes and as fast as the thoughts come drive them out. Carry on in the mind a house-cleaning process, Sweet sleep and plenty of it will 0 a great way toward keeping women young. When sleep departs wrinkles come. It is by sleep that we gain strength for another day. Sleep is to the brain and nerves what food is to the body. Here are a few simple, tried rules for driving away insomnia: Go to bed warm. Never go to bed with cold feet. If the events of the day have been trying, read a short, light story be. fore retiring. Leave the window down at the top and protect the bed from drafts. As soon as the body touches the bed relax the muscles, shut the eyes and make ready to sleep. Nothing drives away sleep more quickly than the thought that one can’t sleep. The Ranchwoman. The success of Mrs. W. N. Sherman and the beauty of her hospitable home, the famous Minnewawa ranch in Cali- fornia, should be an incentive to every woman to hold fast to the home in- stinct while winning her way in the business world. In the face of much opposition and caustic comment Mrs. Sherman, soon after leaving an east- ern college, bought a large tract of un- improved land near Fresno, deter- mined by her own efforts to develop its possibilities. Her success is indicated by the fact that Minnewawa is valued at over five times the original investment. During the busiest season there are over 400 people at work on the ranch and in the cannery. Since discovering that by personal oversight of the packing her grapes brought from $100 to $500 more per carload than when left to the su- bervision of others, Mrs. Sherman very sagely concluded that a woman gan be a real helper, even though she leave the care of the household to some one else. Mrs. Sherman has not confined her efforts to raisin growing alone, but has a national reputation as a stock raiser and fruit grower.—Pil- grim, ‘Actor Would Not Die. Dutton Cook, in his “Book of the Play,” tells an American stage anec- flote of an English melodramatic act- ar with the pseudonym of Bill Ship: ton, who, enacting a British officer in the “Early Life of Washington,” got so stupidly intoxicated that when Wiss Cuff, who played the youthful hero, had to fight and kill him in a duel, Bill Shipton wouldn’t die; he even said loudly on’ the stage that he wouldn't. Mary Cuff fought on until she was ready to faint and after she had re- peated his cue for dying, which was, “Cowardly, hired assassin!” for the fourteenth time, he absolutely jumped off the stage, not even pretending to be on the point of death. Our indig- nant citizens then chased him all over the house and he only escaped by jumping into the coffin whick they bring on in “Hamlet,” “Romeo” and “Richard.” Jddoe Ready with Compliments: Judge Whitman is the only bachelor, on the board of city magistrates in New York. He was called upon one forenoon to marry a couple from Phil- adelphia. The bride handed him a handsome rose from her bouquet and said: “I want you to take it home to your wife.” “I shall be delighted to accept it,” said his honor, “but can’t I wear it myself? I have no wife.” The bride looked at him with com- passion. “That's too bad,” she said, “and you so good-looking.” Then she turned to him suddenly and said: “Won't you come over to Philadelphia and Jet me introduce you to my sis- ter?” “If she looks like you,” re- spontied the judge with a bow, “I shall be tempted to take the next train.” sence The moon rode high within the sky, beies cama Ang held their breath as though in death ‘At her procession splendid.
