LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE HANDICAP "The Negroes' Handicap an Excuse or a Spur," is a Headline in the Seattle Republican. Followed with Comment of Influential Writers. VOL. XIV, THE HA "The Negroes' Handicap an Excuse Seattle Republican, Folk Influential To toil unceasing for years without recompense, save a place to sleep and enough to eat, would have a telling effect upon the mental and moral tone of any race. To be continually surrounded by an atmosphere pregnant with the thought of the littleness, of a certain class of persons, could not but leave mental impressions detrimental to that people. Such was the condition of the Negro during slavery, such are some of the cruel results which have tenaciously pursued him ever since. The effort made during those days to instantly suppress the faintest indication of race union less rebellion follow is bearing fruit until this day. To have some one great binding issue, so plain that even the least can appreciate it, is the surest way to bring an effective rebuff to bear against time worn teachings. Owing to the unfair conditions which govern the race it must be forcibly proven to the world that the Negro is the equal of any other known race. He, himself, knows this, but would not be so willing to demonstrate it, if it were not for the fact that his handicap pricks his very inmost soul carrying as it does with it, the knowledge that as a man he is considered below the standard. His handicap then affords a meeting line. A habit is being formed. Let the people see the greatness of their strength in being united on one thing and they will the more willingly unite upon others. Unity is the first essential in all civilized races. The Negroes' handicap is spurring them to, as a mass, realize that there must be principles for which their men as one man would die and there must be virtues for which their women would stake their very existence. Were there no handicaps there would be no need of schools such as Booker T. Washington's and instead of an annual outpouring of educated and trained workmen we would have a horde of cheap politicians who in the hands of unscrupulous men would prove a disgrace to their race and a menace to the nation. All men have reserve strength in them for which the needs of the ordinary day does not call, but just as extreme heat refines gold so the Negroes' handicap is building up and rounding out the Negroes' capacity. The peculiar conditions of his handicap, although the most grinding and at times seemingly unendurable, isolate in such a manner that faults of short comings are seen and are gradually being eliminated; and, humiliate in such a manner as to render so sensitive the manhood and womanhood of the race that efforts and results thrice worthy of a much older and more advantageously circumstanced people are rapidly forthcoming. [BY AURORA GROSE RESSELL.] "The Handicap of the Negro as an Excuse," has been described by one as an ignoble vice, rooted in selfishness and as showing an incapacity for generosity and magnamity. The one who serves another is ready to disparge and slander him, or to join in any plot to work his harm and downfall. This attitude to a great degree has handicapped the Negro in his efforts to rise in the world of usefulness, for the world in its estimate of persons, places and things is governed largely by the subjects and opinions of itself. That the Negro is made to feel that he is a subject of envy and strife, and each effort is shrowded in darkness is becoming more and more prevalent. It is so in business, in the professions and even the common walks of life. He is orced to be the negative quantity because he must play the lesser part. Less pay for his labor than any other American citizen, his requirements ditto with his fellow citizen, the most generally rejected and subjected of any other citizen because of the closed avenues against him; the most generally hold up to ridicule by both pen and press of any other class or race of people, and yet he only asks for fair exchange. If the above is a spur toward the Negro manhood of America what then shall be done with the hatred breeding speeches of Tillman and Vardaman, and the cruel books and plays of a Dixon, which is not a spur but a kick to the Negro manhood of America. There is no question as to the progress he is making notwithstanding, but would the masses DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1908. W. H. A LATE PICTURE OF SECRETARY TAFT. William Howard Taft, secretary of war and leading Republican presidential candidate, was born in Cincinnati Sept. 15, 1857. A graduate of Yale and Cincinnati Law school, he began work as a reporter. In 1887 he became judge of the superior court of Cincinnati; in 1890 he was appointed United States solicitor general; in 1892 he became United States circuit judge; in March, 1900, he went to the Phillippines, to organize the American government there; Feb. 1, 1904, he was appointed secretary of war. He has rendered conspicuous service in the Phillippines; in negotiations with Pope Leo; in Cuba; in Panama, and to American interests throughout the world. not have advanced more rapidly, would not the standard of citizenship have been higher if it were not that he is handicapped in life; further than sunshine and happiness, it does not afford to him as to other men, a deserving chance. He has arisen to distinctive classes through it all, and they are marked. The worthless, ignorant, semi-criminal sort form one—the self respecting and hard working class another, and of the two, which is the most predominant in the minds of the American people, and why? The answer is plain—The criminal class. And why? Not that he is such a disturbing element, but his self respecting and hard working brother more so. Would the press, the schools and even the pulpits discuss him so generally if he were half so bad? Why not choose a better subject?

It is the good one that we love and adore. Then why throw open the institutions of learning, where only light, law and order should dwell, and invite a mob rioter to instill into the youth of America a lower standard of manhood for the Negro to surmount? Wherein does this elevate a people or spur him on to the goa', when he is made to feel that the companion beside him is his enemy, earliest childhood to manhood: These are the conditions of to day. The schools which are the nursery of all civilization are undergoing marked changes and where a few years ago in Harvard, a young Negro lad was chosen valedictorian of his class, we find the very least organization of such school, discussing whether a Negro should be a part of a base-ball team, and a colored doctor, who only a few years ago was physician in a Boston hospital, finds today such institution refusing admittance to a Negro, and this feeling is growing, notwithstanding the fact no Negro student ever disgraced Harvard, and that no body of students are more orderly or law abiding than the Negroes. You are now left to decide wheth OF SECRETARY TAFT. In war and leading Republican presiden- sept. 15, 1857. A graduate of Yale and was a reporter.

Jap agents are buying gallstones from every packing house company of consequence in the United States. Price is not considered. It has run as high as $300 a pound. What they use them for they will not tell. It is possible the Jap has found in them one of the constituents of some new explosive—some monstrous power for wholesale death-dealing? Close students of Japan believe this to be the case. Just now the Japs are interested in nothing so much as new implements and munitions of war. The Japanese shipyards are working overtime in putting together new deep sea terrors. The Japanese submarines are said to have been perfected until they have attained a remarkable efficiency. Japan has vitually cornered the Whitehead torpedo suply. What more natural than Japan is working with all the scientific knowledge at her command upon the invention of some new explosive of tremendous destructive power? Today every country on the face of the earth, up-to-date and maintaining a standing army, is experimenting with new implements of war, explosives in particular. Mankilling is not yet sufficiently reduced to a science. Every report of a new explosive is received by the war departments with the keenest anticipation. It is sufficient to set loose as warm of hurrying government agents, eager to obtain the first rights. Wherefore there is the keenest interest not only commercially, but with the government, in this unique Japanese departure. Three years ago the Japs first began purchasing gallstones. Then the price was low, $10 a pound. Gradually the packers, ever alert to business, boosted the price. The Japs met it calmly. Now the stones bring $300 a pound. Japanese exporters make the purchases. They laugh when questioned, and declare ignorance of what the stones are to be used for. The Japanese consul here declares it is an important trade secret which he dares not divulge. Persistent experiment by packing house chemists has failed to reveal the peculiar composition of the stones. University chemists, enlisted in the experiments, are baffled. European scientists are equally at sea. The packers are exasperated at the inability of their experts to discover the secret. They are offering premiums for solution. NO. 21. Gallstones are abnormal productions found in the intestines of comparatively few of the cattle killed. They are hard as flint, practically insoluble, and when broken and polished show that they are composed of layers of varying colors like an agate. The annual supply from American packing houses probably will not exceed a few hundred pounds. They are gathered from so many cities that it is impossible to estimate the production with any degree of accuracy. RACE NEWS Gathered from Vartous Sources.

Washington.—Interest in Wednes- day's work of the fifth general conven- tion of the Religious Educational as- sociation centered in a reception and an address to the delegates by Presi- dent Roosevelt, in which he declared that our material prosperity will avail but little unless it is built upon the superstructure of the higher moral and spiritual life. ‘The delegates were received in the east room of the White House, when the President said to them: “I doubt if there is any lesson more essential to teach in an industrial dem- ocracy like ours than the lesson that any failure to train the average citi- zens to a belief in the things of the spirit, no less than the things of the body, must in the long run entail mis- fortune, shortcomings, possible disas- ter upon the nation itself. “It is eminently right that we Am- ericans should be proud of our ma- terial prosperity. It is eminently right that we should pride ourselyes upon a widely diffused and exceedingly prac- tical system of education, “I believe in both, but neither will avail if something else is not added to the nation. The material prosperity is essential as a foundation but it is only a foundation, and upon it must be built the supers‘ructure of the higher moral and spiritual life; for otherwise in itself the material prosperity will amount to little. So with education; it is necessary that we should see that the child is trained not merely in reading and writing, not merely in the elementary branches of learning strictly so defined, but trained indus- trially, trained adequately to meet the ever increasing demands of the com- plex growth of our industrialism, trained agriculturally, trained in hand- ierafts, trained to be more efficient workers in every field of human activ- ity. But they must be trained in more than that, or the nation will ultimately ecldnwnt Work For Colorado Buildings. Wakhington—Members of the Colo: rado congressional delegation are ar- ranging for a meeting to discuss the possibilities of securing action on varl- ous bills pending for federal buildings in Colorado. It has not been decided by house leaders whether there will be a general omnibus public building measure enacted at this session of Congress. If it be decided that there shall be such legislation, provision will be made for but part of the many buildings for which bills have been introduced and there will have to be a general sealing down of appropriations and places. Bills have been introduced for build- ings in Colorado at Denver, Fort Col- lins, Greeley, Durango, Grand June- tion and Glenwood Springs, and for additions to cost the limit at Colorado Springs and Boulder, The meeting of the Colorado delegation will be for the purpose of agreeing on the course to pursue should it become evident that but a part of these buildines ean be provided for in an omnibus bill, should one be reported. STRIKING MINERS THREATEN VIOLENCE IN ALASKA MIN- ING CAMP. REGULARS ENROUTE SOLDIERS TO BE CARRIED ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIVE MILES ON SLEDS, Washington.—By direction of the President, Acting Secretary Oliver to- day ordered a company of infantry from Fort Gibbon, Alaska, to Fair- banks, in that territory, to preserve order during the mining strike in that section, ‘This action was taken upon representations from the United States Court in Alaska to the attorney gen- eral that the presence of federal troops was needed. Attorney General Bonaparte promptly brought the matter to the attention of the President and by his instruction afterward consulted with Acting Secretary Oliver, who, through General Bell, chief of staf, forwarded the necessary orders for the movement of the troops to the commander at Fort Gibbon. ‘Telegrams from Fairbanks to the at- torney general stated that open air mass meetings are being held by the striking miners and that threats of violence have been made. The marshal has been directed by the attorney general to use all the force at his command to arrest law breakers and to prevent intimidation, ‘The military is expected to give the marshal moral support and also to take action should the disorder prove too great for any force he may be able to secure, The striking miners have picketed the trail between Valdez and Fair- banks. Most of the newly arrived la. borers are Russians. The distance from Fort Gibbon to Fairbanks is 155 miles, and the troops will be carried by sleds over the route, which is said to be a good one. If there is urgent necessity for the pres- ence of the soldiers at Fairbanks, they can get there in four or five days, but under ordinary conditions the | trip takes six or seven days. Fairbanks is_in the center of a min- ing country with a population of seven or eight thousand. Persons in Wash- ington familiar with the conditions ex-| isting at Fairbanks say the trouble is the outcome of a strike a year or more ago for higher wages and shorter hours for the miners. This the opera-| tors have resisted, and their determin- ation to operate their mines independ- ent of the Western Federation of Miners, it is feared, has led to trouble. Men Who Knew Lincoin, Greeley, Colo.—E. P. House of Gree- ley, who ¢uring the Civil war and for several years previous, was a noted special correspondent, knew well all of the prominent men of his time, in- cluding President Lincoln. After quitting newspaper work, House had a position in the War "Department, which he held for eight years. During his first year a8 correspond- ent he gained the favor of President Lincoln by calling his attention to the bad location of the telegraph instru- ments of the War Department, which were near the public hallway, where spies could hear the important mes- sages passing between the generals in the ficld and the department. To convince the President that a good operator, in league with the en- emy, might easily get the messages from the click of the instrument, House ‘1 peated several of them, The instru- ments were promptly moved. When Lincoln returned froin his visit to Grant at Richmond, and while he was being serenaded, House was on hand and reached the front door of the White House just as it was being closed to keep out the crowd. In re- lating the incident on Lincoln's birth- day, House said: “I went up stairs and began inter- viewing the President, when he inter- rupted me with, ‘From the appearance of things, I presume I will have to make a speech, and you can gather from what I have to say all about the trip.’ When the band ceased playing, and loud eries went up for ‘Mr. Pres- ident,’ ‘Lincoln,’ ‘Uncle Abe,’ etc. Mr. Lincoln opened the window to the left of the portico at which he was standing, viewed the assembly and be- gan to speak. I was permitted to stand by his side, catch the words, and tele- graph them to my papers.” Today, House carries 2 notebook containing a part of that speech S. P. Birdsall, another Greeley pig- heer was a member of the bodyguard about the White House, and a favorite with President Lincoln's little son, He has a note written him by Lincoln, al- lowing him the privilege of organizing a colored troop. Better Pay For Soldiers, Washington —General Bell, chief of staff, U. 8. A., Thursday recommended in person to the House committee on military affairs an Increased pay sched- ule for enlisted men of the army, along the lines laid down in the Dick-Capron Dill, but differing somewhat in scale. His recommendation contained four distinct features: Creation of the grade of warrant off- cer, for the promotion of deserving noncommissioned officers; _ readjust- ment of initial rates to pay, that they shall range from $15 to $42, as agains the range of from $16 to $70 in the navy; cash bonus of three months’ pay for re-enlistment, ‘nd an increase. of from $1 to $9 in pay for high attain. ment in marksmanship, The corre. sponding increase in the navy is from $2 to $10. re RACE AROUND THE WORLD, Six Automobiles Start in Race From e New York to Paris. | New York—The six automobiles contesting in the New York to Paris . Tace started from Times square, Forty-second street and Broadway, at 11:15 a. m, Wednesday, cheered by a ‘throng of ‘several thousand people. Accompanied by more than 200 motors of all descriptions, the racing ma- chines made their way up Broadway and Riverside drive to the city limits, where they turned north on the road | to Albany. From that city the route to San Francisco, which is the objective point Of the first stage of the trip, lies across New York state to Buffalo, thence through Cleveland and Toledo to Chi- cago, to Omaha, Cheyenne, Ogden, Reno, Goldfield, San Luis Obispo and San Francisco, Mayor McClellan was to have given the word to start, but was delayed and Colgate Hoyt of the Automobile Club of America took his place. All traffic in the neighborhood of Times square was stopped a half hour before the start. Automobiles clogged the intersecting streets and lined the route for many blocks up Broadway. No such aggregation of machines has been seen in or about New York since the last Vanderbilt cup race was run. A band in the official grandstand played the anthems of the nations as the cars lined up for the start. A pistol shot sent the contestants away amid the cheering of the people and the hoarse hooting of hundreds of au- tomobile horns. ‘The contesting cars are the queerest Jooking machines ever devised for motoring purposes. With their heavy equipment for stores and camp uten- sils, several of them were a modern representation of the old prairie schooner, One resembled a hook and ladder truck with long running boards on either side, equipped with axes, shovels, ropes, and a dozen other ar- ticles, Three French cars, one German, one Italian and one American siarted in the race. Three men constituted the crews of the foreign machines, but there were only two in the American car. The three French cars are steered by G. Bourcier Si. Chaffray, M. Godard and M. Pons, the German car by Lieut. Koeppen, of the Prussian army, the Italian car by Antonio Scarfogiio and the American car by Montague Roberts Each machine carried the tlag of its own nation and that of the United States. They were plentifully decor- ated with signs and placards so there could be no mistaking their identity wherever seen.

Denyer—John Lawrence of Sagu- ache, mayor of that town, a member of the Sixteenth General Assembly, a pioneer among pioneers, died ‘at Mercy hospital, this city, Thursday of a complication of diseases. He was seventy-two years of age. He went to the hospital three weeks ago complain- ing of stomach trouble, which the phy- siclans diagnosed as cancer. When a lad Lawrence ran away from home in Illinois, his parents having died young, He found his way to the territory now known as southwestern Colorado and for years he lived among the Indians. In after years his knowl- edge of the language became useful to him and as the white people began to go in he became the interpreter. In this capacity he fell in with Otto Mears, the “Pathfinder of the San Juan,” and other notable comrades of the early days, Mr. Lawrence lived In Saguache for forty years. He did a great deal to- ward building the town and the county. He was a kind of perpetual mayor. He was elected to the Legislature on two different occasions and was county judge, county assessor and superin- tendent of schools. He was a Demo- crat, although party lines hung lightly on him, His body-was sent to Saguache for burial. How American's Escaped, Douglas, Ariz.—Reports of the ex- plosion at the Santa Rosa mining camp, eighteen miles south of here, in Sonora, probably have been exagger- ated. No one was injured when the two separate charges of dynamite were exploded Saturday evening, wrecking the commissary and part of the board- ing house. That all of the Americans in the canip were not killed or maimed, however, is due to the fact that the explosion cecurred at a time when they were grouped some distance away. ‘The work 1s believed to be that of Mex: ican anarchists such as operated in Cananea. Rails For Moffat Road, Denver.—For the purpose of extend- ing the Moffat road into Routt county, the Denver-Steamboat Construction Company has ordered 9,000 tons of steel rails from the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company. The rails are to cost in the neighborhood of $270,000. Track laying is expected to begin about April ist and will continue as fast as the physical condition of the grade will permit.

IMMENSE GATHERING DECLARES THAT PRESIDENT LEADS HIS PARTY AS LINCOLN DID. Kansas City.—William H. Taft, secretary of war, was given an ovation by 15,000 people in Convention hall Monday night, when he was the guest of honor and principal speaker at the most elaborate banquet ever attempted in this city, given by the Association of Young Republicans of Missouri and attended by 1,200 persons, many of whom came from Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and distant Missouri cities. The demonstration accorded Secretary Taft when he entered the great banquet hall, and again when he rose to speak, has never been surpassed by the welcome given any public man in the history of this city. Each of the 1,200 banqueters paid $2.50 for the privilege of attending, but the balcones of the hall were free to the public, and long before the speaking began standing room in the hall was at a premium. Secretary Taft's speech was a general defense of the Republican party and especially of the policies brought to the fore by the administration of Theodore Roosevelt. In eulogizing Lincoln, the speaker said that Lincoln was a party man, "as all men must be who expect to leave their individual impress upon the political character of the nation." Speaking of the recent panic and the President's late special message to Congress, the secretary said: "The message contains an answer to the charges made that the administration is responsible for the industrial depression and the sharpness and emphasis with which this unfounded attack is met have heartened the great body of the people as a bugle call to renewed support of the administration. "From beginning to end the message shows his earnest desire to protect the honest business man and the honest laborer, and to secure to them the possibility of living under the equal administration of the law." Secretary Taft referred to abuses by corporations and declared that a conviction had seized the people that there were many engaged in the management of corporation wealth who regarded the statutes as dead letters and themselves as a privileged class. "We were passing into a regime of an irresponsible plutocracy," said he. "During the last four years there has been a great moral awakening. to this danger among the people and a popular demand that the law breakers—no matter how wealthy or how high or powerful their position—shall be made to suffer. Under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican party has not faltered in its determination to meet the requirements of this situation and to enact such legislation as may be necessary to bring to a close this period of illegal corporate immunity." "There are those who have been members of the Republican party who differ with Mr. Roosevelt in respect to the proper course to be taken in stamping out these abuses of corporate wealth. The great bulk of the Republican party, however, stands solidly at his back in the work which he and the representatives of the party in Congress are doing." In concluding, Secretary Taft said: "Vigorous action and measures to stamp out existing abuses and effect reforms are necessary to vindicate society as at present constituted. Otherwise we must yield to those who seek to introduce a new order of things on a socialistic basis. "The Republican party follows the administration upon this social and moral reform—approves its attitude in favor of vested rights, of maintaining the power of the courts, of rendering more equal by legislation the basis of dealing between employer and employee, of strengthening the regulative power over corporations, and of prosecuting those lawbreakers who continue to defy public opinion. Roosevelt leads his party as Lincoln led his—as McKinley led his—to meet the new issues, to arm our present civilization, and fit it with a bold front to resist the attacks of Socialism, and to transmit to the coming generations unharmed the great institution of civil liberty inherited from our fathers." To Kill Wild Horses Reno, Nev.—The forestry department has issued orders to the rangers on the Toeylabe, Toquima and Monitor reserves in Lander county to kill on sight all wild horses found on the government domain. There are about 15,000 wild horses on the reserves. They are doing much damage to vegetation and attracting domestic animals to their herds. In the opinion of Attorney General Stoddard, the forestry department will be fully warranted in adopting measures looking to the extermination of the rapidly increasing herds. Twenty Thousand Acres of Beets Denver.—A Greeley dispatch says: Already arrangements have been made by the farmers and the sugar company for raising 20,000 acres of beets in this district this year. Heretofore it has been necessary to ship in labor during the beet season, but this will not be the case this year, and the 1,500 Russians, Japanese and Mexicans required to handle the beets are permanent residents. The sugar company predicts that in five years the beet crop of the district will be grown by Russians and Japanese to whom the farmers will rent their lands. Important Provisions of Senator Burnham's Bill. Washington.—Senator Burnham of New Hampshire Monday introduced in Congress a measure of distinct importance to rural interests throughout the United States. It is a bill to provide a rural delivery parcels post for merchandise and other articles actually mailed on rural delivery routes. The rural free delivery routes now number more than 38,000, and on them in excess of 15,000,000 people receive a daily postal service. The measure introduced by Senator Burnham has the endorsement of the President and Postmaster General Meyer. It provides, in brief, for the establishment of a rural parcels post at special rates of postage for the delivery of foodstuffs, dry goods, drugs, books and other merchandise. The rate of postage shall be 5 cents for the first pound and 2 cents for each additional pound or fraction thereof, and on parcels weighing less than one pound, as follows: Two ounces or less, 1 cent; over two ounces and under four ounces, 2 cents; over four and not exceeding eight ounces, 3 cents; over eight and not exceeding twelve ounces, 4 cents; and over twelve ounces and under one pound, 5 cents. Two important limitations are placed on the use of the proposed parcel post by the following provisions: "That nothing herein contained shall be taken as authorizing the acceptance or delivery at the special rates of postage herein provided of any parcel offered by any person acting as agent or representative upon commission or otherwise, or person not resident of such rural delivery route. "That only such parcels shall be received or delivery at the special rates of postage herein provided as are offered by bona fide merchants or dealers whose places of business are on rural delivery routes, covered by this act, in the ordinary and regular course of their business and by residents on such routes in their individual capacity. The bill provides that the parcels carried shall not weigh more than eleven pounds or be more than three feet six inches in length. Perishable articles will be sent at the sender's risk and will not be accepted at any postoffice more than three hours before departure of the mail." Senator Kean of New Jersey Monday introduced a measure presenting Postmaster General Meyer's plan for reducing the rate on parcels sent through the mails from 16 to 12 cents a pound and increasing the weight limit from four to eleven pounds. Bands of Mountain Sheep. Denver.—Trainmen on the Denver & Rio Grande report the recent appearance of two bands of mountain sheep on the cliffs just beyond the Royal gorge, near Spike Buck. The animals are roaming about on the rocks hundreds of feet above the tracks, their outlines sometimes silhouetted against the sky, but more often barely discernible against the irregular background of the cliffs. They pay no attention to the trains and as the saw forbids anyone to shoot at them, they have not become frightened at the appearance of a human being in the distance. One band contains eight sheep, as near as they could be counted from the moving trains, and the other contains about fifteen. The train crews have come to watch for the agile animals in and about the Royal gorge, and there is seldom a day when they are disappointed. The precarious pasture they have found is apparently almost inaccessible for other animals and the feeding is proportionately good in consequence. If the elusive sheep do not move on to some other stamping grounds, they will doubtless become another of the sights which are pointed out along the Rio Grande lines. Profitable Lamb Feeding. Laramie, Wyo.—J. D. Towar, director of the experiment station of the University of Wyoming, has just received complete returns from a sale of eight lambs fattened on the experiment station farm here. The eight lambs averaged 129 pounds, bringing the station $8.57 net each. One of the lambs weighed 146 pounds and another was poor and small, the latter holding the average down as much as the larger lamb brought it up. The lambs were dropped last March, the sires being the imported bucks belonging to the experiment station, and the dams are grade ewes, bred on the Laramie plain. The eight were taken into the sheep pens at the station about the middle of December and were then fed a pound of grain each per day. Prof. Towar says the experiment was one that could have been conducted by any ranchman or flockmaster in the state. Rushing Montezuma Canal. Denver.—A Cortez, Colorado, dispatch says: Work on the Montezuma valley irrigating system is being pushed rapidly and a full supply of water is assured for this season. New camps of the contractors are being established over the valley and men are being added daily. The weather, which has not been favorable for this work, is now breaking. The frost has almost left the ground so that more progress may be made. This is one of the largest irrigating schemes in the West and means much for Colorado, as it waters one of the largest bodies of fruit and agricultural land in the state, there being 60,000 acres under its canals. To Retire Volunteer Officers: Washington.—Thomas F. Walsh of Colorado is taking an interest in proposed legislation pending before Congress to place on the retired list of the regular army surviving volunteer officers of the Civil War. Mr. Walsh held conferences with Senator Warren and Representative Hull, chairman of the senate and house military committees, respectively, and urged that a hearing be given and favorable report made upon the bills for this purpose now before their committees. Both Warren and Hull favor the proposed legislation, but doubt that it can be enacted at this session. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.

If these two cities don't “go dry” before the conven- tions, it would not be surprising if they do so before the close of _pro- ceedings. THE LURE OF THE STAGE, We take no little pride in the suecess of our leading comedians and other followers of the stage, for their work represents a certair character of achievement which compares well with the work of whitc men in the same profession. The standing of such teams as Williams and Walker, Cole and Johnson, and such individual Thespians as Ernest Hogan, 8. H. Dudley, Ada Overton Walker and their numer ous but less prominont prototypes, demonstrates the fact that long, hard, diligent work on the part of colored devotees of the stage will win recognition. and a certain kind of public esteem, just as merit is bound to do in most any other calling. But our admiration for the stage and its few successful followers is not of that unrestrained character which leads us to take seriously the expressed ambition of some of our “actors” to make the stage a platform upon which a certain phase of the race problem may be soly- cd. ‘The enforced improvement of Negro plays in the past few years, has led some stage people to believe that they had strong hold "upon this solution of the race problem, and some of the most prominent rep- resentatives preach the stage as a means of moral and material eleva- tion. This may help the box receipts, but, to our mind, it isa kind of presumpteous, misfit logic, which should not be allowed to permeate the minds of our young people without being disputed. The Negro loves the stage, because of its opportunity to satisfy his unlimited craving for display and his childish lust for applause. Just as the prize ring, of which we have heretofore spoken, urs young sports and would-be pugilists looking for an easy living, so the paltry tinsel of the stage is made to entice young boys and girls upon a career of which they know nothing and for which, perhaps, they are not in the least fitted. ‘The Negro show of the larger sort, started with loose jointed minstrely. changed to the spectacular brand, grew into the bawdy mixtures of men and women in specialty acts and finally reach- ed the present improved musical comedy stage. One who knows anything about the growth of the Negro “show knows that the greatest immorality characterized the earlier combina- tions, and he also knows that the improvement in their general char- acter has followed the everchanging demand of the public for cleaner, better things. But the white public in general, and the white news- paper critics in particular, want the stage Negro to remain a legitimate Negro; they do not enjoy his attempts to get away from his clement, And the limitations which the white public, crities, managers and theater owners put upon Negro shows leave little latitude for that kind of improvement which will do the race any particular amount of good, either morally, socially or financially. There is just one condi- tion under which the Negro stage can aspire for a permanent place of moral confidence. ‘That condition is being worked upon in Chicago, where they have a theatre of their owp, booking talent of their own and gradually improving instead of deteriorating in tone, ina manner to gain the confidence of their own moral classes. There is no. other way to make the Negro stage a real feature in the work of social im- provement, The entertainers of white audiences have about reached the limit in the vaudeville acts and musical comedies of the present day, which offer no trustworthy moral protection to young folks with stage aspira- tions; but if our people can realize their moral responsibility, the fu- ture may bring us our own theatres in which the legitimate talent of the race may be nurtured in a way to bring it, as well as the people, great respect and honor.

A strange thing is the universal onging of professional men and others who have come to the city and have prospered as they advance in life to set back to the country. It is seldom hat they do return, and when they lo there is often disappointnent and hings do not appear as ‘Ney did long igo. The change {s in (he man him self, but he thinks ft Is in the country. Nevertheless, the desire to get back © the old country place to end one's jays 1s very general.

In America, Eng- ME Mae 2d and France it is the women who are absolutely Aa responsible for keeping the theaters open, and is it pee any wonder that artists seck to obtain plays that will gD WH} interest them most, and is it any greater wonder that A the modern dramatist is alive to this condition? I - y r remember that the late Col. William E. Sinn, the well ~e,* | known Brooklyn manager, once said to me he estimat- DP 7 ed that in the first-class theaters of the large eastern ag G cities of the United States, women were responsible POnIN 44 for at least 70 per cent. of the audiences. a ad Victor Hugo divides theater audiences into three Mamita thinkers who euiAua chasacterigation: the women, who demand passion, and the mob, who demand action—and insists that every great play must appeal to all three classes at once. Yet, although all three of the necessary elements appear in the play, it should have, to please the modern audiences, more action than passion and more passion than characterization. And this leads us to the statement, omitted by Victor Hugo, that the mob is more important than the women and the women are more important than the thinkers, in the average theater au- dience. Indeed, a deeper consideration of the subject almost leads us to dis- card the thinkers as a psychologic force and to obliterate the distinction between the women and the mob. It is to an over-feminine “mob” that the dramatist must first of all appeal; and this leads us to believe that action with passion for its motive is the prime essential for a play. For, nowadays at least, it is most essential that the drama should ap- peal to a “mob” of women. Practically speaking, our matinee audiences are composed entirely of women and our evening audiences are composed chiefly of women and the men that they have brought with them. Very few men go to the theater unattached; and these few are not important enough from the theoretie standpoint, to alter the psychologic aspect of the audience. ‘The influence of this fact upon the dramatist is very potent. First of all, as [have said, it forces him to deal chiefly in action with pas- sion for its motive. And this necessity accounts for the preponderance of women characters over men in the large majority of the greatest modern plays. Notice “Hedda Gabler,” notice “Magda” and “Camille;” notice “Mrs. Tanqueray,” “Mrs. Ebbsmith,” “Iris? and “Letty’—to cite only a few evamples. ‘The above fact may be noticed also in a more or less degree in all ofsthe ten plays of my present repertoire. Artistes who, like myself, pro- duce their own plays, must exercise a sharp regard for what the public wants, and if it is the women who dominate the public taste, then it has been my business policy to try and give the women the kind of drama that pleases and satisfies them best. not, perhaps, excite any more comment than the announcement of the sailing of the fleet from Cape Cod bay to the winter drill grounds in the Caribbean sea for drill purposes and target practice. ‘This transfer has, however, brought world-wide attention to the fact that the United States possesses one of the strongest and most powerful fighting units in the world, and that in its possession this country has a fighting force that must be taken into serious consideration by any country aiming to ques- tion our rights as a nation and a world power. ‘The 16 battleships brought together for the first time have all been built and commissioned within the last ten years, most of them within ‘a very short period, and it becomes absolutely necessary that a school be formed for the instruction of the fleet commander, squadron commanders, captains and officers, in order that the highest degree of efficiency may be attained. Ships and guns are of the very beat material and up-to-date con- struction, and the personnel of the service, both officers and enlisted men, cannot be excelled, and it is only proper that all be perfected up to the point of extreme efficiency. ‘This cannot be better accomplished than by the present cruise. ‘The fleet is for offensive purposes in time of war and not for coast defense—that being left to the army. The Pacific has been in the past and will be in the future the battleground, and it is only proper that our most powerful fighting force should be in touch with our western possessions acquired as the result of the war with Spain, For offensive purposes we should then be in a position to strike a swift and speedy blow such as was illustrated at Manila bay and Port Arthur. Preparedness and efficiency count for the winning every time, and the three months’ cruise to the Pacific will result, from the many experiences acquired, in a more efficient fighting force. The extra expense to the country for fuel, which is practically the only extra cost, is too small to be considered when compared with the experience and knowledge to be ‘acquired. Young captains on the navy list have been selected to com- mand in order that experience derived may be available to the service for some years to come. Enlistments and re-enlistments have been numerous, and the pre- paratory work of the different ships at the several naval stations under, in some cases, strenuous hurry orders, has tested the efficiency of these sta- tions and doubtless has brought to light defects that admit of correction. Benefit to the fleet is insured from the time of getting under way, and if the stay of this force is prolonged, the needed increase of repair stations and docking facilities on the Pacific coast will be more apparent. As advertising is the life of the business world, so should our colors be shown on this powerful fleet in the ports of the world, to emphasize the fact that we are insuring ourselves against national disaster if war should by chance be made upon us. Pete Hatin SE I. eee eee i es a re } wD Se rr KA Mirman Makes for Effcivury of Nany By REAR ADHIRAL GEEEOE H. BUFFINTON, should by chance be made upon us. Preparedness is the aim of our na- val administration as far as its resources 7 will go, and undoubtedly service re- ports will show the fleet all to the ad- vantage on its arrival on the far coast. Leaving out the fact that the perhaps tempor- ary movement of our powerful Atlantic battle- ship fleet and fleet aux- iliaries to the Pacific shore may be only a strategic movement in advance of coming legis- lation; the cruise should ee ee as ne ee a WILL BE THE Musical Treat to the Denver Public Auspices of the Denver Division of U, O.

"Jones of Belham" a Good Example of What Can Be Done in That Respect—New Version of the Fatted Calf. People like nonsense after dinner. They like anecdotes. The best of anecdotes is that they need have nothing to do with the subject. I know a man who keeps about half a dozen anecdotes always in stock. He can make one or the other of them fit any particular toast. I heard him propose "The Army and Navy." He said that some people took a gloomy view of our national defenses. For himself, he was an optimist. It was always best to look at the bright side of everything. "That reminds me," he said, "of my friend Jones—Jones of Belham. His motto is that there is always something to be thankful for. His wife is not of such a cheerful disposition. She is often annoyed at Jones' optimism. "One day they were dining at a restaurant, and they had placed before them a very tough piece of veal. It was an exceptionally tough piece of veal. " "There,' said Mrs. Jones, 'now I think it would puzzle even you to find anything to be thankful for in that piece of veal.' " "Not a bit of it,' said Jones, I was just at that very moment thinking how fortunate it was that we happened to meet it when it was young." Some time afterward I was at another dinner. It was the dinner of a scientific society. This same man was present again, and he was put up to propose the toast of "Success to Aerial Navigation." "This is a tremendous question to deal with," he said, "but we must make the best of things, and I hope you will bear with me while I try to make the best of it. It is such a tough subject that it reminds me of the piece of veal which was once placed before my friend Jones—Jones of Belham." And out came the story of Jones of Belham again; and it was quite a hit. So much so that he followed it up with another. Whereat the men of science gave encouraging cheers and said "Go on!" for "after dinner" makes the whole world knin, and it is just as safe to play with the lions of learning when they have been well fed as with any of the inferior animals. "This calf, my friends,' said the preacher, 'was no ordinary calf. This calf, forsooth, was a fatted calf. And mark you, it was no ordinary fatted calf. This calf, my friends, had been fatted up for years, and years, and years.'" Here is another dinner story: Two men, who had been dining so well that they could see twice as much as two ordinary men, were rather imprudently walking home by the canal bank. Very soon one of them fell into the water. This sobered him to some extent, and he began to yell out at the ton of his voice: "Hi hi! Help, help! I can't swim! Help! I can't swim." The other man, who had gone down on his knees on the bank and was trying to steady himself by holding tightly to a tuft of grass, surveyed his struggling friend with a glassy stare. "I can't sh-wim, either," he said. "but I don't make such a b-b-blooming fuss about it." "Speeding Up." It is idle to criticise at large the American business man's habit of overwork. But a single aspect of this rulous habit merits comment. The American business man does not want money itself. He wants to "get there." to "get there" for his own, his wife's sake, his family's sake. The full price of "getting there" he does not always calculate. The man who works fast, many hours a day, six or seven days a week, is not merely paying in sheer energy to "get there." He eats too much, possibly drinks too much, does not take exercise, but he pays in more than physical detriment. He is doing more than ill-treating his body in such a way as he would never dream of ill-treating his automobile or his factory dynamo. Above everything else, the American business man is "getting there" at the expense of rounded development, at the expense of life itself and of its large and rich experiences. Tree Dentistry. Many methods are being tried for the preservation of old and historical trees in the east, some of which are intensely interesting. On the estate of John J. Little, at Bala, Pa., is a very old sycamore, the trunk of which had become decayed. The cavity was filled with stone and cement and around its base was then built an outer stone wall, so arranged that the water would drain away from the trunk of the tree.—Popular Mechanics.

Appetizing Ways of Preparing the Odds and Ends. To serve cold turnips attractively, heat a cupful of soup or good stock; add a cupful of bread crumbs and simmer for five minutes. Add the mashed turnips, two or three tablespoonfuls of cream and the requisite amount of salt and pepper. When thoroughly hot turn in the beaten yolk of an egg; cook for a minute or two longer and serve quickly. If some of the large stalks of celery have been left from dinner and the cook does not desire to make them into soup stew them until tender in slightly salted water; then drain them through a colander and chop fine. Add cream, melted butter, beaten egg, and salt to taste, and to each pint of the mixture one level teaspoonful of baking powder that has previously been sifted into a little flour. If the batter is not of proper consistency, a little more flour may be added, for the mixture must be thick enough to drop properly from the end of a spoon into the deep fat in which it should be fried. Even the radishes left on the table may be served attractively if this formula is followed: Let them cook until tender in just enough boiling water to cover them. Keep the saucepan securely covered until the radishes are done; then uncover and reduce the liquor one-half. Add an equal quantity of milk, and, when at the point of boiling, stir in the necessary amount of flour and butter to thicken the sauce appropriately. If you have never tried this experiment in cooking radishes the result will be certain to prove a pleasing surprise. WHEN CARPET BECOMES BARE Devices by Which Its Usefulness May Be Prolonged. In the case of a bare carpet three courses may be followed. A new one may be substituted, the old one being relegated to a room of less consequence; or a square may be put on top of the old; or a manipulation of the widths may be attempted, banishing the worn parts to obscure corners underneath rugs or pieces of furniture, where they will scarcely be seen and not trodden upon. A word of advice may here be given about regulating the wear of stair carpet. Each length of it should always be at least half a yard longer than actually required, to permit of changing the tread. In laying such a carpet for the first time have the surplus half yard at the top. After the first time it is taken up, when relaying pull it over the step a few inches, and so on until the surplus half yard is all at the bottom; then the carpet could be reversed and this process repeated, with the result that some years will be added to the life of the carpet. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. For clothes that fade, put one ounce sugar of lead in a pail of rainwater. Soak overnight. A spoonful of vinegar put into the water in which meat or fowls are boiled makes them tender. To clean decanters put a teaspoonful of salt in each decanter, moisten with vinegar, shake well to clean the inside of bottle, then rinse thoroughly with cold water. When mixtures have been burned in granite ware half fill the utensil with cold water and add a little washing soda or soap powder. Heat slowly to the boiling point, then empty and wash as usual. When a broom is beyond use for sweeping purposes it will be found excellent for scrubbing the kitchen floor. Go over the floor with the broom and hot suds, then mop with clear water. Never use a good broom for this purpose. Salad Dressing. One egg (do not beat), a teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of mustard, three rounding teaspoons of flour, six teaspoons of sugar. Beat these all up together good, add three-fourths cup of vinegar (if very sharp make it a scant three-fourths cup), two-thirds cup of water. Put in small piece of butter. Keep stirring until it thickens. Don't let it boil. When cold add teaspoon of cream or milk. You can add more milk if you like it thinner. Antiquity of Beer The ancients had beer, but whether it was made from hops does not appear. It is known that the Egyptians made beer from barley, and Pliny writes of a beer that was made in Gaul and other parts of Europe from corn and water.

Chanman MISS LUCY ORTHBES MISS FRANCES ALEXANDER BETJY PAUNTLEROY MISS MARY PHILLIPE MISS MARY CARY We are so accustomed to pictures of George Washington in a rigid attitude, with sternly compressed lips and generally forbidding expression, that we forget he was ever young and a human being of flesh and blood like the rest of us. Instead of being a cold-blooded prig Washington was magnetic in personality and a great social favorite. He was the finest horseman in Virginia, an exceedingly graceful dancer and a dandy in ruffles, gold lace, velvet, silk stockings and diamond buckles, who caused a flurry in feminine hearts whenever he appeared. Young Washington was always falling in love, and after his engagement to Mrs. Custis was announced his mother wrote to a friend: "I have had a great deal of trouble with George, but it is all over now." His first attack of the heart occurred when he was 15 years old, and the object of his affections was Miss Frances Alexander, aged 17, whose father's plantation adjoined Mount Vernon. Imagine him pining and sighing and grating his teeth in despair, just like any young American lover in these days! It is amusing now, but at that time it was a very serious matter to George Washington! Not much is known of this courtship, and soon after he lost his heart to Miss Lucy Grymes, whom he often referred to afterward as his "Lowland Beauty." About this time Washington wrote a letter to "Dear Sally," in which he said: "I am almost discouraged from writing to you as this is my fourth to you since I reed any from yourself. I hope you'll not make the Old Proverb good out of sight out of Mind as it's one of the greatest pleasures in living in Fairfax in often hearing from you and hope you'll not deny me.

I could wish to be with you down there with all my heart but as it is a thing almost impractakable, I shall rest myself where I am with hopes of shortly having some minutes of your transactions." So we find the susceptible George interested in three fair damsels at once: "Sally," the "Lowland Beauty" and Miss Mary Cary, which recalls the story of the man who could never shoot a bird, because just as he had aimed and was ready to shoot at one bird another bird flew in the way. In 1753 Lucy Grymes, the Lowland Beauty, married Henry Lee and became the mother of "Lighthorse Harry," the Custer of the revolution. One of Washington's most serious love affairs was with Miss Mary Cary, and there is no doubt that she was in love with him, but her father prevented the marriage by handing out the Alaskan negative. Miss Cary afterwards married a young swell, Edward Ambler, who died young, and his pretty widow was often a guest at Mount Vernon after Washington's marriage. The Cary romance extended over several years, but in the meantime there were others. It is consoling to know that Washington was human enough to occasionally do something amateurish, and the thing he fell down on hardest was writing poetry. The following was composed when he was a major and about 20 years old. It was addressed to Miss Betsy Fauntleroy: "Oh, ye Gods why should my Poor Re- sistless heart Stand to oppose thy might and Power, At last surrender to Cupid's feathered Dart And now lays bleeding every Hour For her that's Pityless of my grief and woes, And will not on me pity take, I'll sleep amongst my most inveterate Foes And with Gladness never wish to wake, In deluding sleepings let my eyelids close That in an enraptured Dream I may In a soft lulling sleep and gentle repose Possess those joys denied by Day." There is a letter on record in which Washington asked Mr. Fauntleroy's permission to make a proposal of marriage to his daughter "in the hope of a revocation of a former cruel sentence." But the father's reply was unfavorable, as usual, and Miss Betsy afterwards married Thomas Adams of Williamsburg. It is a tradition of that town that after her rejected suitor became famous and visited Williamsburg as the guest of the people she watched the triumphant pageant from a window and when the great hero saw her he waved his sword and saluted her, whereupon the lady fainted away. On another occasion he fell in love with Miss Mary Phillipse, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy Englishman who lived in a superb mansion on the Hudson near West Point. Washington promptly proposed, but was told that somebody else's coquette was already engaged to be married. Washington said afterward that he thought things might have resulted differently if he had waited "till the lady was in the mood." There was a tragic ending to this romance years after, when the haughty creature who had spurned the hand of the commander of the American forces was arrested as an English spy. She was thrown into prison and all of her property was confiscated. Washington was too wise to turn into a woman hater merely because he had been thrown down three times in succession. He knew there were plenty of pretty fish in the aquarium and that it would be only a matter of time when he'd make a good catch. That time came just two years after he was jilted by Miss Phillipse, and it happened in this way: Col. Washington was on his way to Williamsburg on official business, and while crossing Williams ferry was accosted by a hospitable old gentleman, who MISS FRANCAS ALEXANDER MISS MARY CARY asked him to rest a while at his home in the neighborhood. The colonel answered that his pressing business would not permit the time. But, as an inducement, the old gentleman mentioned that among the guests at his house was the handsomest young widow in all Virginia! That changed matters. The young colonel smiled, hesitated, and then—well, then he decided that he had more time than he had supposed! Upon reaching the house he was introduced to the fascinating widow, Mrs. Martha Parke Custis, and we can imagine the coy glances of this enticing young creature, for it was a case of love at first sight. And instead of getting away in a few hours as he had intended, old Bishop, the colonel's servant, held his horse in readiness for hours and hours. But his master didn't come. In fact his delighted host had little difficulty in persuading him to stay until the next day. Washington had just returned from a brilliant campaign, was gallant, young and handsome, and the clever widow didn't lose any time bringing down her game! A few days later Col. Washington visited Mrs. Custis at her own beautiful home and this time he offered his heart and sword with success. It is quite evident that a propitious reception awaited him, for on the way to the house he asked a slave if Mrs. Custis was at home, and he said, "Yes, sah, I reckon you're the gen'leman what's 'spected.' They did not meet again till their marriage six months later. At that time Martha Custis was 27 years old—just three months younger than her flance. She was short, had eyes that snapped, her manner was very gay, and she was thought by some to be the most beautiful woman in America. She was the wealthiest woman in the old dominion and the mother of four children, two of whom were living. The marriage took place at the house of the bride in January, 1759. The exact date is uncertain. YIP RESTAURANT Noodles, Chop Suey, Chili Privare Dining Rooms REGULAR DINNER 20 CENTS. QUICK LUNCH. Imported Tea for Sale. 1841 Arapahoe St. Tel. Main 6835 C. & C. D.

The new immigration plan in the state of Sao Paulo, and more or less in Brazil in general, is to found colonies of people of one nationality. Hence the secretary of agriculture at Sao Paulo is making arrangements to establish several German colonies at once. At present the 1,500,000 Italians constitute the dominant nationality. Last year the British postoffice telegraph was operated at a loss of over £1,000,000, although the receipts for the year were the largest ever known, reaching a total of $20,578,880.

His brother, a colored man, usually in good humor, had 'em, too. Neither knew just why he had 'em, but they had 'em just the same. They talked of the weather, the times and a dozen other gloomy subjects. There was nothing sunny in the soul of a patron or a barber. Finally both sighed in concert and a silence fell over the shop—yes, over a barber shop. The colored man was the first to speak. After several moments of silence he gave vent to another sigh and said: "Well, as de old philosopah says: 'Ef yo' ain't got nothin,' now's yo' time.'" Jones is still wondering who the philosopher was.—Indianapolis News. It may be a blessed fortune for Socrates that Xantippe didn't keep a diary to be published 2,000 years after her death. PURE FOOD. No Food Commissioner of Any State Has Ever Attacked the Absolute Purity of Grape-Nuts. Every analysis undertaken shows this food to be made strictly of Wheat and Barley, treated by our processes to partially transform the starch parts into a form of Sugar, and therefore much easier to digest. Our claim that it is a "Food for Brain and Nerve Centres" is based upon the fact that certain parts of Wheat and Barley (which we use) contain Nature's brain and nerve-building ingredients, viz.: Phosphate of Potash, and the way we prepare the food makes it easy to digest and assimilate. Dr. Geo. W. Carey in his book on "The Biochemical System of Medicine" says: "When the medical profession fully understands the nature and range of the phosphate of potassium, insane asylums will no longer be needed. "The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, potassium phosphate. "This salt unites with albumen, and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve-fluid, or the gray matter of the brain. "Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve-fluid, but potassium phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life. Therefore, when nervous symptoms arise, due to the fact that the nerve-fluid has been exhausted from any cause, the phosphate of potassium is the only true remedy, because nothing else can possibly supply the deficiency. "The ills arising from too rapidly consuming the gray matter of the brain cannot be overestimated. "Phosphate of Potash, is to my mind, the most wonderful curative agent ever discovered by man, and the blessings it has already conferred on the race are many. But 'what shall the harvest be' when physicians everywhere fully understand the part this wonderful salt plays in the processes of life? It will do as much as can be done through physiology to make a heaven on earth. "Let the overworked business man take it and go home good-tempered. Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung from attending to sick children or entertaining company, take it and note how quickly the equilibrium will be restored and calm and reason assert her throne. No 'provings' are required here. We find this potassium salt largely predominates in nerve-fluid, and that a deficiency produces well-defined symptoms. The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies—this is the only law of cure." Please observe that Phosphate of Potash is not properly of the drug-shop variety but is best prepared by "Old Mother Nature" and stored in the grains ready for use by mankind. Those who have been helped to better health by the use of Grape-Nuts are legion. "There's a Reason." BRAIN POWER Increased by Proper Feeding A lady writer who not only has done good literary work, but reared a family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. She writes: "I am an enthusiastic proclalmer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I formerly had no appetite in the morning and for 8 years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them. "Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, doughnuts or anything I happened to find. Being a writer, at times my head felt heavy and my brain asleep. "When I read of Grape-Nuts I began eating it every morning, also gave it to the children, including my 10 months old baby, who soon grew 10 fat as a little pig, good natured and contented. "I wrote evenings and feeling the need of sustained brain power, bega eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk, instead of my usual indi gestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night. "I grew plump, nerves strong, and when I wrote my brain was active and clear: indeed, the dull head pain never returned." POSTUM CEREAL CO., Ltd. Battle Creek Mich.

Clean Walls Are an Essential to Sanitary Cooking. It is not only important to know how to cook, but it is equally important to know where to cook. Cooking in a dirty kitchen can never produce good food. The idea is simply preposterous, yet kitchen walls are left for months—sometimes for years without cleansing. In the first place the kitchen wall should have a light tint that the merest fleck of dirt can be seen; that the sheerest cobweb can be brushed away; that the tiniest water bug can be discerned. It is all folly expecting clean food in a kitchen with dirty walls. Never put a wall coating on a kitchen wall that is mixed with hot water or that has glue in it, or sour milk in it if mixed with cold water. Glue walls made from horses' hoofs colored up with cheap colorings do not indicate good housekeeping. The glue is constantly flecking off, falling into the food and the idea of food flavored with glue made from horses' hoofs is not appetizing. Kitchen walls to be thoroughly satisfactory should be alabastined the same as every other wall in the house. They should be coated regularly in the spring and fall of each year with a light tint. The care of the pantry requires constant attention. The walls should be brushed over every year, the dishes removed from the shelves which should be thoroughly wiped with hot water.

"Naw," said the other, "they cost money." "I'll owe you a cent," said the first boy. "Come on, I'll pay you after." "They cost more than a cent," said the boy with the cigarettes. "Nothin' doin'. Your credit ain't no good."

Cae b * ye a 3 | Styles may come and styles may go but the faithful shirt-waist remains to gladden the feminine heart eternally. Generally speaking Fashion 1s very fickle, today delighting in one thing |and in another phase of dress to-mor- row. But when it comes to the utili- tarian shirt-waist, she cannot get away from it if she should try, and she is wise enough not to try. Ideas as to the make up of the shirt-waist change | with the seasons, however, and my lady is ever ready for new ideas in this direction. For this reason we of. ter in our larger illustration a group of charming — shirt-waist patterns, which range from the plain to the ele- gant—from the one for common every day wear to the creation in spotted net j and filet guipure insertion suitable for the dressy occasion. | The smartly-simple blouse displayed es the center at the top is of cream nun’s veiling and is arranged, both at | the back and in the front, in’a series of box-pleats, while there is a doubly frilled front of kilted and hemstitched cambric, with pearl buttons studding the center fold, and a trim little tle bow at the neck beneath the linen col- lar. Front and collar are detachable, so that you can lend variety to the blouse as desired by means of some of the many other cravats and collars which are always to be found among the wardrobe accessories, The one to the left while somewhat similar in style is carried out in filet net lined with net, the box-plaits, which give such becoming width to the shoulders, being at first held in place by a series of French knots worked in silk; while, then, the same device appears on the dividing band between those double and kilted frills, whose fullness is so becoming and so fashionable, and at the back their place between the wider plaits is ta- |Ken by a series of tiny tucks. The puffs of the sleeves are caught in be low the elbow with a close cuff. ‘The blouse on the right of the group may be made of crepe de chine in ivory, blue, turquoise, or brown, or practically any of the new shades, as taste may dictate. It is closely tucked beneath a vandyked yoke of Val- enciennes, outlined by narrow strap- pings of crepe de chine and open-work silk slitchings to match, a fold of the colored fabric being used as an edg- ing for the collar-band. The full sleeves are drawn into deep cuffs, which, like the yoke, are formed of many overlapping rows of Valen- clennes, and the yoke continues its decorative career at the back, And now for the climax of beauty and elegance to be found displayed in the lower part of the illustration. This waist is of spotted net and filet gulpure insertion, further adorned with many shining drop ornaments in either gold or silver—a pretty enough blouse, this, for almost any occasion, and one, too, which will submit to be- ing worn beneath a heavy fur coat without showing any signs of crushing. ‘As the eye will naturally wander from the fascinations of the larger I lustration to the beautiful evening gown displayed in our smaller picture, let us have a word about {t before passing to other topics of our letter. This model displays the long clinging lines such as are so much in favor in Paris. The long under-skirt is of sat- in charmeuse in a lovely tone of shim- mering green, like the tender leaves of the hothouse lilies-of-the-valley, which Hight our Bes tn all the flower shops ys Ghompae To héighten, its, at- tractions, the under-skirt is thickly embroidered with large pearls, irl- descent bugles and sequins, which have @ most brilliant effect on the CHARMING BLOL/SES sheen of the satin, Over this beauti- ful under-robe falls a tunic of finest gauze, rather short in front, but hang- ing low at the sides and back, and edged all round with a deep lace in vandyke points. It is slightly cut up at the sides and held together by three short bands and bows of silver tissue. ‘The square decolletage is outlined by a band of jeweled embroidery with a large motif in front, from which a deep fringe of glittering jewels hangs far below the waist. Similar fringes adorn the shoulders, hanging over loose sleeves of white tulle; and folds of white tulle are drawn across the bust above the jeweled embrofdery and fringe.

PON ROSS RN Ge An Evening Gown, scribed as gorgeously simple, for noth- ing could be more simple than its nes or more gorgeous than its de- tails. Many new devices, or rather modifica- tions of devices now in yogue, for dressing the neck are being seen. Some are worn by leaders of fashion on this side the water, while others have not left the land of their birth in Paris. For some time now the little velyet ribbon wound around the neck has been a feature of certain gowns of the moJish woman's wardrobe, especially when she wears a gown with a round neck or at the top of a high collar. Oue of the newest variations in this is to have the ribbon wound around the base of the throat, instead, as here- tofore, tied high. In the new fashion, which is, of course, suited to the round necked gown, the ends cross and are completed by a gold, silver or jet tassel, tiny, of course, or by a bit of fringe or some other ornament. The accepted fashion in Paris is to have the ends at the back, but with a neck cut with a slight V in the front and with short ends and ornaments the fastening in front would be prettier, The fashion originated, apparently, from the wearing by Mme, Avril last spring in La Savelli, with a second em- pire frock of what the French call a “suivez-mol,” and the English a “fol- low me” of black velvet at the back ot her neck, having extremely long ends floating behind her, the whole in black velvet. These touches of vélvet, espectally in black, when combined with lace or filmy frocks, are fetching. Of course one can match the color of one’s frock or some of its trimmings, Se & ° o J GARMENT STORE S256" ST.» > OPP.

There may be a design in eyelet and French embroidery above the scallop on one end and the scal- lop with the initials on the other end. Letters from four to six inches high can be used on the towels. They should be padded. First, take short running stitches, just inside the stamped outlines, fill the space between the running stitch- es with a layer of outline stitches set close and even; into this layer of out- line stitches work another layer, tak- ing the stitches of the second layer into the stitches of the first layer and not into the material. Work a third layer Into the stitches of the second layer in the same manner. Work across this padding close satin stitch, setting the needle for the satin stitch on the stamped outlines of the letter; these outlines should never be covered with the padding stitches. SAVE THE BREAD GRUSTS. Dried and Run Through Meat Chopper They Will Be Found Useful. Take the bread crusts and place in a pan in the oven, dry them thoroughly and run through the meat chopper. After they are finely ground sieve as you would ordinary meal and put into Jars for future use. ‘What a neat shelf a woman can have in the pantry with jar foods! First there are the bread crumbs, the jar of navy beans, lima beans, dried corn, spices, crumbled parsley, which has been dried and crushed, sage, hominy, etc. A large gallon crock is splendid for holding salt, another for sugar, and by buying large quantities of sugar one gets more for the money. The pantry should be the pride of the kitchen and all neatly arranged. Noth- ing makes a better bread bin than a large lard can or a large stone jar, The latter will prevent bread or cakes from freezing in a cold room if they are wrapped in a tablecloth and care fully covered. KEEP THE FLOOR POLISHED, Simple Method That Takes Place of Continual Work. Hard wood floors are beginning to look a little the worse for the win- ter's wear. It's always a problem to keep them looking well without a con- tinual polishing performance, summer or winter. A treatment which has stood the test of experience is this: First wash the floor well and let it dry. Then go over it with a cloth dipped from time to time in kerosene oil, which both cleanses and pene- trates the floor so that less of the boiled oil {s required. ‘The boiled oil finish should then be prepared. To make this, take two quarts of boiled linseed oll, put beeswax the size of half an egg and boil together until melted and thoroughly mixed. Care should be taken in doing this, as both materials are inflammable. While the oil is still warm apply with a wide paint brush. It is much easier than keeping up a wax polish, Raleln and: Coffee Bread. Add to one cup scalded mflk one third cupful shortening, a cupful sugar and a half teaspoonful salt. Cool to lukewarm, then beat in a yeast cake dissolved in a quarter cup lukewarm milk and enough sifted flour to make a stiff batter. Cover and place where it will keep warm over night. In the morning blend a beaten egg with the dough, add one-half cupful seeded rais- ins and roll out the mixture in a sheet three-quarters of an inch in thickness. Put in a buttered dripping pan or a deep pie plate, having in its center a muffin ring or piece of stiff paper pinned together to make a ring. Cover and let rise until it doubles its orig- inal bulk. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with powdered sugar and cin- namon and bake in a moderate over about half an hour. Eat hot with cof- fee, oumian: Dissolve a third of a yeast cake in a gill of warm milk and add two teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar. Have ready scalded a beer bottle with a patent fastener or if you have not this use an ordinary bottle and cork, soaking the cork well for some hours and wiring it on the bottle. Fill the bottle three-quarters full of fresh, blood-warm milk, or fresh milk heated to blood warmth, and pour in the yeast mixture. Shake hard for several minutes, then put in the cork and fasten it down securely. Set in a warm place until the contents are working and foamy, then lay in the ice chest until wanted. One yeast cake makes three bottles of koumiss, so it 1s well to make several bottles at one time. Protect Clothes. To prevent the universally liked Gretchen apron from becoming soiled and wet so quickly by coming in con- tact with sink and washboard, stitch a casing on wrong side at waist line, insert tape, draw snugly and tle. Tack tape securely in center of front to keep it from slipping out when untied. Stuffed Chicken Baked with Ham. Order two two-pound — chickens. Clean and stuff in the usual way. Rub with salt and place one-half pound ham cut in thin slices on the breasts and tie it in place-with a string. Place in a baking pan and bake in a moder- ate oven until tender. Baste often with butter and hot water mixed. When done remove to a hot platter, surround with the ham and pour over a gravy.
