And its Color Phase as Told by Osceola Madden in a Recent Issue of"The World Today." A Distinct Separation of the two Races at the National Capital. VOL. XIV. Washing And its Color Phase as Told by Issue of "The World Tod ation of the two Races In Washington, the great Capital City of the greatest country on earth, the separation of the races is more nearly complete than in any other city of the union. This does not even except the South, for here, where there is the largest colored population of any of our cities, the largest point of contrast that of personal service, is growing smaller each year and white help in private homes, boarding houses and hotels is taking the place of colored, while "white barber's" shops, until recently unknown in the South, are getting very common. Shoe-shining parlors in the downtown districts, well appointed, with upholstered seats, electric lights and fans, periodicals and newspapers, have monopolized the trade of the one familiar black bootblack with box and chair. In Washington the colored infant is introduced to his existence by a colored physician, often in a colored hospital with colored staff and nurses (the Freedmen's is the largest in the District.) When old enough he goes to a colored school to study and play with colored children only. He sees white children and grown-ups in the streets, but nowhere else, and there is never contact unless a childrens "race row" should happen. A colored dentist helps him get rid of his "milk teeth," and next day in a happy frame of mind he goes to Sunday-school and a colored church. After a course in the colored graded schools, should a profession be desired he can make a limited selection and get an excellent training at the one colored university, Howard. With the exception of the Catholic University all the others are closed tight—for him. Should he not have desired or have been unable to obtain, a professional education, when ready to look for a life vocation or compelled by circumstances to hustle for a living, he is certainly up against a hard proposition if he is intelligent and ambitious. The number of trades offering him opportunity to become a skilled mechanic is small, and industries in which he can secure profitable employment, regardless of his preparation and ability, are few. Without capital and experience, it is practically impossible for him to make a successful business beginning. What he shall do is not easy to decide. Later, should he require legal assistance of any sort, excellent lawyers of color are ready to aid him, or if unfortunate enough to afoul of the law he may be arrested by a policemen of his own race and have his case, if minor, tried before a colored magistrate. When he has lived a long and useful, and all hope of local suffrage to help lessen the discrimination against him has departed, he gives up the ghost, and after a colored minister of the gospel has eulogized him in a colored church, a colored undertaker buries him in a colored cemetery. From beginning to end he has crossed the color line. As a matter of fact, in Washington, as in many other southern cities, the better classes of white and colored people know absolutely nothing of each other. They pass on the streets, sometime, but that is as near as they ever get. In the schools, in the churches, in the various pursuits of gaining a livelihood, and—speak it gently—socially, the two races are entirely separate and apart. According to the police census of last year the district has a population of 329,591, of which number 96,188 are colored people. Of approximately 450 clerks in the District (municipal) Building nine are colored men, a majority of the messengers and laborers being of the same race. The police force of 731 has thirty eight colored officers on its roll, while nine of the 398 members of the fire-fighting force are colored. The chief of the fire department says that he contemplates establishing a fire company composed entirely of company composed entirely of colored men some time in the future. In the city postoffice there are 556 white and seventy-nine colored clerks, including substitutes, and 325 white and fifty-five colored mail carriers on the list. Of the six city magistrates one is a colored man drawing a salary of $2,500. The colored Recorder of Deeds gets $4,000 as his annual compensation, and the president recently appointed a young colored lawyer as Assistant United States Attorney at a salary of $2,000. The local school system is a dual one, the superintendent being white with a white assistant superintendent in charge of the white schools and a colored assistant in charge of the colored schools. For the 111 white and sixty-five colored school buildings there was an enrollment at the close of the last school year of 1,058 white teachers with 35,356 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1908. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House tronizing Th RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA white pupils, and 517 colored teachers who gave instruction to 17,382 colored pupils. For a great many years the government departments have drawn numbers of capable colored men with their families from all parts of the country, and there are now thousands of cultured, well educated and refined colored people in the capital, many of them living in handsome and even elegant homes of their own. In this connection it may be worth while to state that of the total value of taxed property in the District of Columbia, $382,987,252 (this does not include government property to the value of hundreds of millions), nearly $23,000,000 worth is owned by colored people. This estimate is based upon the latest report of the Assessor of the District. In the nine executive departments of the National Government there are approximately 1,450 colored employees, about three hundred of that number being clerks, drawing salaries ranging from $240 for the humble charwoman to $4,000 for Register of the Treasury. The total amount paid these 1,450 employees is about $817,240 each year. One colored woman clerk enjoys a salary of $1,800. In addition to the Register of the Treasury, the Assistant Register, the Auditor for the Navy Department and, I believe, one or two chiefs of divisions are also colored. The corps of instructors in the local schools includes graduates of Harvard, Yale, Amherst, and others of the leading colleges, as well as a few from Oxford and from the leading universities of France and Germany, and some who have studied in Italy and Spain. Howard University, the foremost colored institution of learning in the country, and to which, by the way, Andrew Carnegie has recently donated $50,000 for a library, offers many advantages to the student in the higher branches, and is making an effort to include technical courses for those inclined to take more than the ordinary course in manual training. This institution is supported by Congressional appropriations and by private contributions, Washington has no large industries or business houses managed by colored men, and there is no colored bank. There are many small stores and enterprises operated successfully, and in a limited number of trades many colored men make a comfortable living. Of the benevolent and kindred organizations the "True Reformers" are very prominent. The local manager states that the order has a membership of ninety thousand, spread over thirty-seven states, including five thousand in Washington. They have erected in the city at a cost of $100,000 a handsome structure which contains the armory for the colored militia, a commodious entertainment hall, a drug store, and a number of office and lodge rooms. The building has proved a paying investment. Among the professional men of color are many lawyers, some of whom do well, a goodly number of dentists with all they can do, and physicians with large and in some instances lucrative practices. Of the 1,459 registered physicians in the city seventy-six are colored, about fifty being regular practitioners; a number of the others are government clerks, "Sun Downers," practicing after office hours. Some of these physicians do exceedingly well, one in particular having a sanatorium and dwelling in the residential portion of Pennsylvania Avenue, about six blocks from the White House, and valuable properties located in other parts of the city. There are a number of colored architects, at least two being very successful with excellent work to their credit, an automobile establishment, ten drug stores, two of which contain sub-postoffice stations, and two first-class photographic studios. A colored woman conducts an establishment of considerable size with schools of instruction in dressmaking, millinery and cooking, and in addition an employment bureau. There is also a flourishing Conservatory of Music and School of Expression in its fifth year, with an enrollment of 178 pupils and eight instructors. A Young Men's Christian Association and a like organization for young women are struggling to get well established, and in the southwest portion of the city a colored woman is conducting a social settlement, which is doing most excellent work among the poorer classes of colored people in that section. There are 114 colored churches in Washington, of all denominations, a majority Baptist with a goodly number of Methodists; also Episcopal, Presbyterian, Seventh Day, Holiness, Catholic and Lutheran, which would seem to assure a happy future for the colored people now here, however the present may seem. VERNON ON THE STUMP. W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury, will take a prominent part in the oratorical end of the presidential campaign. It was through his work that prominent Negroes were held in line for Taft before the nomination, and since then the national committee has had a number of requests to send him to various points for speeches. He has been asked by Senator du Pont, who is chairman of the speakers' bureau of the national committee, to give considerable time to speeches, and he has promised to do so. The bureau will make assignments for him after September 15. Prior to that time he will fill various engagements. He left here today to speak tomorrow be before the National Association of Negro Physicians in New York. Friday he will speak to colored voters in the congressional district of Representative Olcott of New York. Monday night he will speak to Negroes in Boston, and September 3 he will lecture in Newport, R. I. He also has an engagement at Philadelphia Sept 10, and will address the colored Odd Fellows of the country at Atlantic City the 16th of that month. He will also attend conferences of the A. M. E. church in Kansas and Missouri in October. It is understood that Vernon's assignments by the national committee will be largely in Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, and that he will make only a few speeches in the East.—Star. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Brookhaven, Miss., August 22. Strong feeling exists in this city over the anticipated removal of white clerks from the postoffice and placing Negroes in their places. It was reported today that Negro clerks would arrive next week to relieve the present white employes. Several meetings have been held and the matter thoroughly discussed, with the conclusion that Negroes will not be tolerated in the postoffice here. Telegrams have been sent the Negroes that they had better not report for duty. Iowa is setting a pace in the matter of recognizing the Negro press which her sister States would do well to imitate. The Buxton Gazette, published at Buxton, Ia., is the only official county paper conducted by a colored man. The editor, Rev. Abraham Lincoln DeMond, has just signed a contract with the State officials for the State Fair advertising.

Richmond, Va., has contributed another musical prodigy to the New York reservoir of race talent in the person of Mr. R. Hildred White. He has achieved success both as a violinist and pianist, and is said to render selections from Beethoven, Rubinstein, Listz, Chopin, MacDowell and other great composers, with wonderful skill and technique. His memorization and interpretation of classic works on short notice are attracting marked attention at the hands of the best musical critics of Gotham. NO. 50. In appreciation of what Mr. Sam Lucas has been to the profession George Walker called him into his dressing room on the night of August 19, at the Grand Theatre, and presented the grand old man with a beautiful solid gold ring, with Masonic emblem set in diamonds. Mr. Lucas is a pioneer in the business among his race and is regarded as the dean of the profession and is called the grand old man by his host of friends, Mr. Lucas was a member of the "Bode of Education" in Cole and Johnson's "Shoo-Fly Regiment." Chicago.—The Negro Law and Order League, organized in Chicago last Monday as a result of the Springfield riot and race war, will be made national in its scope. It is proposed to organize a Negro Law and Order League in every State in the Union, to stamp out Lawlessness on the part of the blacks. The Rev. E. H. Stewart, pastor of the Institutional M. E. church, of this city, is at the head of this movement. It is proposed to place men at the head of the different State Law and Order Leagues who will establish regular headquarters and give their entire time to the work. Paducah, Ky., Aug. 23.—Another damage suit has been filed in United States court here as a result of the night-rider raid on Birmingham, Marshall county, March 10, of this year. The plaintiff is Nat Frizzell, a Negro, who alleges that his home was shot into and that he was taken out, after being shot in the head, and unmercifully beaten. He states he was ordered to leave, and that he is now a resident of Massac county, Ill. The amount of damage asked is $25,000, and there are 71 defendants. This is the third suit brought as a result of this raid. Rev. Matthew Anderson, the offical head of the Berean Industrial Institute at Philadelphia, has moved into a swell neighborhood of the Quaker City and the "blueblooded aristocrats" of that section do not like it. They threaten to bring the influence of the wealthy promoters of the school to bear to get Brother Anderson out of the way, but the latter has the support of a coterie of rich white neighbors, who are standing by him to get even with the aforesaid "bluebloods" for refusing to admit them into the charmed inner circle because of shyness in the length of ancestral pedigrees. It is a pretty mess, and while the big folks are wrestling with their social problem Brother Anderson is serenely holding the fort. Her Last Hope. After a man's wife finds that it is useless to try to convince him that smoking is an expensive habit she begins to be afraid that it hurts the baby's throat.

RATE UNREASONABLE ROAD ORDERED TO KEEP AC COUNT OF DIFFERENCE IN RATES. St. Paul.—Judge Vandeventer in the United States Circuit Court Thursday granted the injunction requested by the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern and three other railroads operating in Arkansas, against the Arkansas state railway commission. The injunction restrains the commission from enforcing the new two cent fare law and from interfering with the railroads in raising their freight rates on interstate traffic. In an oral decision the court held that the testimony in the present hearing had demonstrated to him that the rates proposed by the Arkansas railway commission were unreasonable, non-compensatory and unlawful, and could not be enforced against the railroad companies. The court directed that each defendant give a bond, which will probably be about $100,000 each, that they would keep a distinct and accurate account, showing a difference between the tariff charges of the railroads and what would have been charged if the rate of the Arkansas commission had been applied. Explaining the order, Judge Vanderventer held that the law of congress should take precedence over the laws of Arkansas in rate matters where the interstate regulations infringed on the intra-state regulations. The court made a condition to his order that if any individual or passenger suffered by reason of the rates to be applied during the pendency of the order, and if on final hearing the order should be set aside the penalties for a violation prescribed by the law might be enforced as if no injunction had been issued and due reparation made. The enforcement of these penalties, however, should not cover a period preceding the beginning of this action. G. A. R. Officers Elected. Toledo, O.—Col. Henry M. Nevius of Red Bank, N. J., was elected Thursday commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. The election occurred on the first ballot, which gave Mr. Nevius 454 votes, compared with 254 for former Gov. Van Sant of Minnesota and 90 for L. T. Dickason of Illinois. On motion of the former Minnesota executive, the nomination of the New Jersey man was made unanimous. Other officers were chosen, as follows. Senior vice commander, J. Kent Hamilton of Ohio; junior vice commander, C. C. Royce of California; chaplain-in-chief, J. F. Spence of Tennessee; surgeon-in-chief, G. Lane Tannheh hill of Maryland. J. W. Stebbins of Alabama made a fight for junior vice commander on the ground that the South, with its 150,000 graves of Union dead to care for, should be represented on the national staff. Colonel Nevius, a native of New Jersey, was studying law with the late Russell A. Alger of Michigan when the war broke out, and enlisted from Michigan with the Lincoln cavalry. Young Nevius rose to a commission with the Seventh Michigan and the Twenty-fifth New York cavalry regiments, and lost an arm in front of Fort Stevens when the Union army was engaged with General Early.

Wilbur Wright in France Lemans, France.—Wilbur Wright, the aeroplanist, made a ten-minute flight here Thursday at an altitude of seventy-five feet and covered six miles. A second attempt made later was a failure, owing to trouble with the motor. The French experts were greatly astonished at the proof given by Mr. Wright of his ability to leave the ground again after having touched it. It has been supposed that it was impossible for him to launch his machine without the aid of an apparatus. This feat apparently assures Mr. Wright of the prize for high flight, one of the conditions of which is that the machine shall leave the ground without use of outside help. Big Trees Saved from Flames Sonora, Cal.—The forest fire which since Monday has threatened the famous big tree grove in this county, has been brought under control and the great trees are safe. After a heroic fight for three days and nights the rangers, aided by a change in the wind, got the better of the flames. They are still working in isolated portions of the grove, extinguishing the last sparks, so that the fire may not break out afresh. Considerable damage has been done to the big trees, but it is not thought many of them will die from the scorching.

W. C. Whitford was re-elected treasurer. The next meeting place will probably be Wilton Junction, Wis., the final decision being left to the executive committee. State Dairy Commissioner Bishopp has received a letter from the Utah Condensed Milk Company asking him to submit to the company the names of Colorado breeders of Frisian-Holstein cattle. The firm stated in the communication that it would be in the market for 500 head of this species of cattle this fall and that it would appreciate quotations on the Colorado stock. Alberto Lopez, aged about twenty-four, escaped from the penitentiary ranch on Four Mile, near Florence on the 31st ult. He was serving a five-year sentence, having been sentenced in Las Animas county for burglary. What is Pe-ru-na. What is Pe-ru-na. Are we claiming too much for Peruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in reality such a catarrh remedy? Let us see what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes lining various organs of the human body. Another ingredient of Peruna, corydalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a substitute for quinine. Send to us for a free book of testimonials of what the people think of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The best evidence is the testimony of those who have tried it. USED CHURCH AS SCHOOLROOM Proceedings That Somewhat Astonished the Sexton. The sexton of one church that keeps open doors all day long didn't know whether to regard the matter in the light of a desecration or a devotional exercise. He paid no attention when the three women, watched by a man who stood at the lower end of the aisle, walked the length of the church and back again. Even when they made the trip a second time he scarcely gave them a thought, but when the trio started around the church a third time and the man called out, "Step a little more briskly, please," he began to wonder, and presently made inquiry. "I hope you won't be offended," the man replied. "I am a physical culture instructor. I am teaching these young ladies to walk. I have already taught them to walk in the street, in the drawing room, in the theater and every place else they are likely to find themselves. I am now teaching them to walk in church. Very few women can walk there properly. Some lope, some swagger, some skip, others adopt a mincing gait. All these styles are very inappropriate for church. A dignified, subdued gait alone is suitable for devotional purposes. Church is the best place for pupils in walking to receive practical instruction, therefore I have brought them here." "Great fathers!" gasped the sexton. "What next?" But he said no more till the walking exercise was ended. Then he followed the class to the door. "I hope," he said, "you will practice the lesson learned to-day by coming here to church once in a while." OCULIST A MAN OF RESOURCE. Has ■ Blind Beggar Woman to Advertise His Business. Enterprise takes various forms, even in Warsaw. A young oculist finding that patients were few and far between, hit upon an original means of advertising. He engaged a blind woman who sits and begs by the Church of the Holy Cross to hold a light board whereon are written his name, address, professional qualifications and consultation hours. As the church is in the busiest thoroughfare of the town the notice attracts a good deal of attention. The beggar herself says she is quite satisfied with the results, as many people notice her who would otherwise pass by, and as the doctor has added his assurance that she is hopelessly blind benevolent old ladies throw copers into her tin mug, sure that their money is not wasted on an impostor. It is not yet known whether the number of patients has increased. TUNES FAIL TO KILL; MAY BUY. Aged Flute Player Makes Sure by Trying Score of Pieces. A little old man entered a large music shop and asked the assistant to show him a book of flute music. "Here, sir, is a very fine selection," said the assistant, "and cheap at half a dollar, seeing that it contains no fewer than 50 airs." The old man took the book, opened it, and laid it on a shelf. Then he took his flute out of his coat pocket, screwed it together and began to play softly the first tune in the book. When he had finished the first tune he turned the page and played the second. Then he played the third. An hour later he was still playing. The assistant thought it was time to hurry him up a bit. "Well, sir," he said, "do you think the book will suit you?" "I like these so far very much, thank you," said the old man, putting his instrument to his lips again, "but I have only played half the tunes so far!" English Sense of Humor In one of his burlesque sketches on English history Bill Nye spoke of Julius Caesar's jumping into the water as he approached the English coast, wading ashore, running up to London, and walking through Regent street. "An acquaintance of mine reported to me," said Mr. Nye, "that he had asked an Englishman how he liked the story. 'Not at all, not at all,' was the reply. 'That fellow Nye doesn't know what he's about. There wasn't any Regent street then, you know.'" THE INTERSTATE FAIR Denver.—All indications point to the first annual Colorado Interstate Fair and Exposition to be held in Denver next week as being by far the largest exhibition of the kind ever given in the West. The fair opens Monday, September 7th, with a grand military demonstration. Governor Buchtel, President Charles E. Stubbs of the Fair association, Mayor Speer of Denver and other prominent men will speak. The entire detail of United States troops from Fort Logan, together with several thousand of the Colorado militia, will participate in the opening ceremonies. It is Labor Day and the labor organizations will also have a celebration. It has been arranged that Denver shall be decorated and illuminated all week. Pain's fireworks forms the attraction at the fair grounds for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights and upon these nights there will be no special attractions in the city. Friday night will be an illuminated automobile parade through the principal streets of the city, and out to the fair grounds. It is expected that 3,000 autos will be in line. Saturday night will be a masked carnival on the streets of Denver, with a masked ball in El Jebel Temple. Every department at the Interstate Fair is filling rapidly and the display will be one of the most remarkable ever gathered in the West. In the mining exhibits alone will be twenty tons of selected ores. In the horse and cattle departments will be the finest animals in the world. This department will be the largest ever seen west of the Missouri river and some famous animals will be exhibited. There will be special running and harness races every afternoon, and also a horse show in front of the grand stand. This horse show is open to the world and promises to be by far the best ever seen in the West. Knabenshue, the airship man, will be here with his great passenger carrying airship, and H. G. Powers is gathering together a Midway similar to the Pike at St. Louis, and to be known as the Great Divide, that will be replete with new and striking attractions. Gargiulo, the great band master, and his band will give concerts twice every day, and in addition will be a score of other bands, so that music will be one of the big features. It is promised by the fair management that there will be something going on every minute, so that the seventy-five thousand people expected will have plenty of entertainment. Beneath His Station. A young lady went into a well known establishment a few days ago and said to the shopwalker, "Do you keep stationary?" "No, Miss," replied the shopwalker, "if I did I should lose my job."

Denver, Colorado CALL TO BOOST FOR COLORADO ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE COLORADO STATE COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION. TO MEET IN MONTROSE DISCUSSION OF THE OPPORTUNITIES, WEALTH AND VARIED RESOURCES OF THE STATE. Denver.—The official call says: The annual convention of the Colorado State Commercial Association will be held in Montrose, September 15th to 17th inclusive. Preparations are being made by the association and the convention committee of Montrose for a most interesting and instructive program. Addresses will be delivered and discussions conducted on important topics dealing with all the commercial interests of the state. It is planned to be an occasion whereat all the various subjects of Colorado's great resources will be given a wider-spread publicity than heretofore—giving those in attendance a more intimate knowledge of what these resources have in store for them if set forth properly and by modern and scientific methods. Plans will be discussed and acted upon for increasing and broadening the association's work. This work is so important to every citizen of the state that must not be permitted to lag. The Colorado State Commercial Association stands today as the only official organization which is devoting its energies to advertising every section of the state without discrimination, and its efforts, in order to secure the best results, must receive and is entitled to enthusiastic support financially and morally. It is the general clearing house to which application is made from all over the world for literature and special information regarding every section of the state, and these requests are promptly complied with. While this convention will be a business meeting the citizens of the Western Slope city have arranged for comfortable and pleasant entertainment, including a trip to the Gunnison tunnel, the great irrigation project under construction by the government. The Denver & Rio Grande railway has announced a rate of one fare for the round trip from points on their lines, and other lines are expected to do likewise. Farmers, stockmen, orchardists, miners and merchants join in making a Greater Colorado. During this convention period there will also be held the annual meeting of the secretaries of the various local commercial clubs of the state, to perfect plans for more concerted work with the state organization for mutual benefit. Cripple Creek Gold Output. Cripple Creek, Colo.—The total tonnage shipped from the Cripple Creek district during August amounted to 66,886 tons, with a gross bullion value of $1,330,774. These figures show an increase in tonnage over the month of July of 1,824 tons, and a decrease in bullion value of $14,257. In view of the fact that the heavy rains have interfered to a considerable extent with hauling and that the allied lines have been unable to supply the full demand for cars, this record is considered remarkable. The coming month will see two more mills of large capacity in full operation. The new spur to be built to open the northern section of the district will probably be finished this month. The district is now shipping its largest daily tonnage to the valley mills and smelters, an average of almost seventy broad gauge cars leaving the camp every day. The figures of tonnage and gross bullion values as given out by the various mills and smelters are as follows: Tonnage Av. Gross Gold Cyc mills.28,026 $19,80 $545,941 U.S. R. & R.

Denver. — The Republican county convention called by the Parks committee met met Wednesday and placed a ticket in nomination, also selecting delegates for the state, congressional, senatorial and legislative conventions. Following is the county ticket: Juvenile Court Judge—Grant L. Hudson. County Commissioners—First district, John Henderson; Second district, William Lawson; Third district, Eugene McCarthy. MAKES CHEAP ICE CHEST. Soap Box, Tin Cans, Sawdust and Newspapers Form Cool Receptacle. The fact that hundreds of babies and children in the tenement districts are made seriously ill each summer by drinking milk which has stood for hours in a warm place and is teeming with bacteria has caused the milk committee of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor to introduce a cheap, yet practical, ice-box into the districts where the association has established milk depots. The box is a homemade affair, says the New York Times, which can be built for less than 20 cents and will keep a five-cent piece of ice for 24 hours. Dr. Alfred F. Hess of the department of health is the inventor of this cheap icebox, which is as practical as it is novel. It is made of an ordinary soap box, two tn pails which fit one inside the other, and a bucket of sawdust or a package of newspapers. The larger pail is put inside the box and the intervening space packed tightly with either sawdust or newspapers. The smaller pail is then put inside the big one. All that is needed to complete the icebox is to put a five-cent piece of ice in the inner pail, fill it half full of water and put a newspaper covered top on the box. A bottle of milk put in the inner pail will stay at a temperature of 40 degrees for 24 hours. At such a temperature bacteria cannot multiply, and the milk will stay sweet While it was hoped that the milk depots could be made self-supporting so few of the poor people in the tenement districts can afford to pay ever the cost price of the milk that the depots are maintained at present al most entirely by public contributions The committee estimates that 25 cents a week will provide one baby with milk properly modified. This sum also provides for the free ad visory services of the doctor and the trained nurse at the milk depot of its home district. The Home. If comforts and quilts are dried in a good stiff breeze they will be as light and fluffy as when new. Colored French handkerchiefs will not fade if they are dipped in salt water before the usual washing. Salts of ammonia mixed with lime will take out stains of wine from silks. Spirits of turpentine is equally good for the same purpose. Gum Arabic starch is obtained by pouring boiling water over the gum arabic, then diluting it to the right consistency. It is an excellent starch for pieces that are starched to dry and must not be ironed. Instead of trying to "cream" sugar and butter for a cake with a tiresome spoon or knife blade, try using a wire potato masher. This chops the butter finely and blends the two with little trouble in a comparatively short time. Japanned trays should never be touched with boiling water, for that would cause the varnish to crack and peel off. To clean these trays rub them over with a little olive oil and then polish with a piece of flannel, which will absorb the superfluous oil. Sweetening Butter. Housekeepers often find that butter bought for cooking is quite strong. The Germans have a method of sweetening it which is efficacious. It is as follows: Put ten pounds of butter into a porcelain kettle and boll steadily over a good but slow fire until the sediment in the pan is of a pale amber color. This will be in about five hours. Great care must be used for fear of scorching. Strain the butter while hot into clean, small jars, not squeezing the cloth. When cold, cover with oiled paper and keep in a cool place from the air. This process imparts to the worst kind of butter a palatable nutty flavor. It is better than ever for ginger bread or for any kind of plain cake. This is the time of year when the appetite of most children becomes capricious and mothers find it hard to find things which tempt youthful palates. Very often when this is the case novelty of appearance will induce a child to eat something which in its familiar guise he has scorned. Among the dainties that one mother constructed for a child whose appetite fell off in the summer was achieved by half toasting cubes of fresh bread which were then turned into a dish, covered generously with maple sugar and topped with whipped cream.

The long drawn out controversy in local Republican circles is un- fortunate in that it reveals the fact that the local party leaders are not in complete harmony with the organization leaders in the state, or that the personal ambitions of certain local and state leaders are running crosswise. Colored voters in the county of Denver are interested in this controversy only so far as their interests, present and prospective, are affected by the supremacy of one side or the other, and that interest can be judged best by the attitude which these leaders of the two sides respectively have assumed in the past toward the higher principles for which colored voters have been contending. We do not rejoice over dissensions in party ranks, but sometimes they afford us opportunities to exercise a deciding influence, which we undoubtedly possess in some precincts, at least, and to be of valuable assistance to those who are in- clined to help us. To carry these controversies beyond the primary stage, however, may endanger the success of the whole Republican ticket in the final battle of the ballots. We trust that resort to this ex- treme has been, or will be, finally avoided, and that complete concili- ation may be realized upon a basis which will give all Republicans an equitable standing in the party ranks. Anything less than this must leave the same old sore to fester and torment us. SENSATIONAL LEADERS. The colored people of Denver 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 inations which the prick of a pin will cause to collapse. Sensational leadership is one of the dangers menacing the welfare and the advancement of the Negro. There are a number of men and women scattered over the state who have been blessed with intellect, but, unfortunately, overbalanced with egotism, who are con- tinually striving to spring some desperate idea or moyement affecting the race and its struggles, which will, for once, at least, startle some- body and draw attention to its projectors. Sueh are those who ad- vise desperate measures in retaliation for conditions that arise in the city; those who advocate the protection of the individual charged with crime, regardless of his guilt; and those who would annihilate promi- nent members of the race who do not choose to be identified with every doubtful project inaugurated in the name of the race. Every man should be allowed to go about his business in his own way; and wher it comes to the business of the publie or the raee, the last man to be followed or trusted is the one who would pass censure upon others greater than himself, because they cannot bring their superior talents and achievements down to his level of sensational conceit. The race ean well spare the misplaced fervor and brilliant egotism of its sensa- tional leaders. ta hd RAE EEFEFEFFEFEFFEEFFFFEFEEFEEEE EEE EEE EEE EEE Child’s Entitled fe ° tunity to Li Right “Be Hea _By, DR: LUTHER HAISEY GULICK, Children are the dependence of a city. They are its very backbone. There is a strong economic reason that should induce every city and township of the country to take an interest in the welfare of its children. Few peo- ple know it, but four-fifths of the entire school regis- tration of New York enjoys only the first five years of our elementary school work. ‘The last three years’ work, for which the city each year appropriates money, is enjoyed by but one-fifth of our children, The remainder are forced to miss grades by reason of ill health and conditions at home, Some day the boards of education in every city in the country will awake to the need of studying the Wealth diithe school children, ‘To-day. in New York city we have over 600,000 children who for ten months of the year 1ook to the representatives of the department of education even more than they do to their own parents, but there is not one single medical officer whose duty it is to study those children to find, not cures for the tempor- ary ills, but preventives for the future. The health of our children is far too important a matter to be treated lightly. Enough care could not be taken of them. What if it was neces- sary to employ hundreds of scientists to conduct long and expensive searches for the causes of thegills of our children? What if only one out of all the scientists made a discovery worth while? Would it not be worth the time and money spent? Play is vital to the child, The young of all the animals of the world do nothing but play. ‘To grow strong and healthy is worth more than any amount of learning. By attention to exereise, sleep and proper clothing, the city child could grow as well as the country child and in many respects better. One hundred years ago four per cent, of the population was in the cities; to-day 60 per cent. ‘The conditions of the city are the conditions of the future in this country. We have gained by the change, but we must raise men and women like our sturdy ancestors. We have taken the time from play and added it to study and work and we have taken away the play rooms, The games of the ages have gone from the cities. We must get away from the idea that healthy children cannot be brought up in the city. City business men, too, could keep as well as their country brothers if they eared. A few moments’ exercise night and morning, a few breathing and setting-up exercises at one’s office, with ju- dicious use of holidays and vacations would develop better health and physique than most farmers have.

Washington a few days ago in Baltimore are just what were expected in this wise leader of the Negro race. His optimism is the more hopeful because it is based upon an almost unique knowledge of the difficulties wnich lie in the way of progress. In talking to the men of his race he said: “Political parties and public issues and public men change and disappear, but the fun. damentals of industry, thrift and high and rugged character remain forever. Without them all else isin vain, With them, nothing can de. feat us.” No one more clearly than Mr. ‘Washington perceives that the so- lution of the Negro lies in intelli. gent appreciation of it by the Ne- groes themselves. He knows that constructive work among them although it may be hastened from ‘the outside, must come in the last analysis from within. While he deplores the narrowness of race hatred that manifests itself, he does not despair. His gospel is, “Make yourselves worthy citizens and the future will take care of itself.” With a firmness and a kindli- ness that suggests to that other great friend of the Negro race, Abraham Lincoln, he has never ceasedto urge upon his people the value of industry and integri- ty, of the building of character. That direct message, spoken so simply, does not apply to his peo- ple alone, it should be taken to heart by the white man as well as the black. Institutions pass and men along with them, but cour- age and integrity remain, and courage and integrity and the faithful discharge of simple duties alone insure the safety and endur- ance of the republic,—Clay’s Re- view.

Where the Man Should Walk, A matter that is debated now and then of late is in regard to the posi- tion that a man shall take when es- corting a lady on the street. In this country he always takes tie position next to the curb. In Europe he takes the inside place, the theory being that In case of any trouble he would crowd the lady if on the outside and give her less opportunity to escape. If the es- cort is on the right and the crowd turns to the right, it will be more like- ly to jostle the lady.

Leftovers can be made into palat- able and nutritious dishes. Always wash and save your egg shells fox clearing coffee. When you only use the white of an egg make mayonnaise with the yolk, or mix a little water with it so it will keep soft until need- ed. Often one can economize in using a recipe by taking one less yolk than is called for. This is especially true of muffins, There you can omit a@ whole egg often when the rule de- mands two and make up for it by an extra beating of the whole. Des- serts are often the worst of all scraps to utilize, Men hate to have bread pudding one night and warmed over the next night. If you do make too much of anything never serve it twice in succession, but have something fw between and make the first different from the second. Suppose you have a little rice pudding left over. If it, is thick, thin it with a little milk, put im an egg and some flour and pour into: ‘small molds such as egg cups and bake in a pan of water until they are set, and that makes a new custard cornstarch pudding; made soft cam be heated, more cornstarch added to set them, with sugar and flavoring; when cooked they can be put into some round tins (like a baking pow- der tin), when cold they can be sliced in thick pieces. - Dip each one in crumbs, beaten egg yolk and crumbs again just as you do croquettes, and when dry fry in deep fat and serve with jam. Bread pudding can be treated In the same way. Let it get cold and stiff, slice and fry it. This may be served with hard sauce. When you make ginger bread put raisins and spice in part and bake by itself. Serve this hot with foamy sauce and you have a fruit pudding. Stale cake can be sliced, and, with fruit put on it, can be served with cream or but- ter; still it can be treated the same as bread pudding, using scraps of sev- eral kinds of cake, even doughnuts, baked, and hard sauce used, it is de- lictous. When you have one egg white left over beat it very light, mix with a level tablespoon of sugar and as much currant or grape jelly and let it get very cold. Put it in glasses and use after a Yearty dinner. Call it cur: rant fluff As to pie crust, always plan to have some crust left. This will keep for days in the ice box. When wanted to make into tarts, filf them with fruit or jam, almost any- thing will fill them, and if you have little cream to whip and put it over the top so much the better. * Newest and latest fall and win- ‘ ter styles in and showing today, DENVER’S SOLE AGENTS JOHN B.

Or you can turn the rennet into a mold with a tube center, turn it out very gently and fill the hole left by the tube with whipped cream. As rennet is very difficult to handle it is safer to pour it directly into the glass dish frons which it 1s to be served. Potato Kiocess.

Season with salt and a small quantity grated nut- meg and stir in three well-beaten eggs.

Summer Freezing drinks served over counters will always be popular, no matter how much the doctors invelgh against them. Preachments do no good in this line. The woman who is boiling hot argues that she can be made cool by putting as much sweetened ice into her stomach as she can buy along the street. But fortunately for her health she may live out of the reach of the so-called "summer drinks;" then she can make them for herself, and after she has grown accustomed to the homemade variety she will pass by the others. Strange it is that very few women make a practice of concocting all sorts of palatable, cooling drinks to serve through the four hot months. They depend on ice water, milk and iced tea. Here are some recipes that have been tried and found not wanting: Pineapple Lemonade.—Peel a ripe pineapple, grate the fruit, and turn over it the juice of five lemons. Then make a syrup of a pound of sugar and a pint of water by boiling them together for ten minutes. Cool the syrup and add it to the fruit, turn in a quart of cool water, and strain through a muslin cloth. Serve in a glass filled with crushed ice. If you want to make it quite pretty add a cherry to each glass. Currant Water.—To prepare currant water mash a cupful of raspberries and two cupfuls of currants, add a IS MEAL OF IMPORTANCE. Luncheon Breaks Up Day for Women and Children. Luncheon has become an American institution, and has come to stay. It is, to most women, the pleasantest meal of the day, even when partaken of at home, with none present but "the children" and the grown women of the household. It breaks up the monotony of daily tasks; it is eaten without flurry or hurry, because with little ceremony. "Pick-up" dishes and accidental entrees figure conspicuously in the menu—things for which men, as a rule, care little and their wives and daughters much. Tea and toast, cake and preserves can be enjoyed without fear of bantering comment, and a harmless dash of gossip can be uncovered without provoking severe strictures. The family luncheon is the best medium I know of for acquiring the valuable French art of concocting entrees out of "left-overs." Some Johns have a rooted dislike for "made dishes"—a prejudice which, I may remark, adds sensibly to the sum of household expenses. It would double them but for the canny housewife's use of cold cuts and scraps for the mid-day meal "just for the children and myself." Women don't cook for themselves! But for the saving clause, "the children," our economist would starve herself upon toast and tea. Being a mother, she brings forth strengthening soups, savory stews and relishful compositions of fish and vegetables out of most unpromising materials, unconsciously becoming a culinary artist. Collars in Dresden Colors. Stiff collars have, for a long time, been embroidered, but it remained for this summer to bring them forth decorated with bunches of flowers in a multitude of Dresden shades. The little nosegays are placed on the corners of the collars in front, and they add just a dainty touch of color to the immaculate whiteness of a white linen tailored suit. With them are worn jabots, made of handkerchiefs, embroidered to match the collar, or little butterfly bows in plain white linen. Beaded Belts. Beaded leather belts are on sale in great quantities, and they are very pretty, indeed. The best of them are made of soft suede and decorated in many-colored small glass beads—to imitate the Indian work. On some the beads are grouped only just in front, to take the place of a buckle—while others have an imitation buckle both front and back. cupful of cold water, and bring to a simmer over the fire. Then strain, mix with a cupful of syrup made with sugar and water, boll to the thread stage, and turn in a quart and a half of water. Stand the drink on the ice until it is chilled. Cool Oatmeal Water.—As an alternate for barley water, for children and invalids in summer, use oatmeal. It is not only palatable, but nourishing. It is made by mixing a large tablespoonful of crushed oats with a little milk and adding more milk to bring the amount to a quart. Bring to a boil over the fire, then draw to one side of the stove and simmer gently for a quarter of an hour. Strain through a cloth, add a little sugar, and put on the ice until wanted. This drink, by the way, is excellent in winter if served hot. It is as good for tired persons or invalids as hot broth or chicken soup. Lemon Ginger Beer.—Another excellent home-made drink for summer is a mixture of lemon and ginger. It is as palatable to many as the imported ginger ale, which is costly to drink if one makes a practice of it. It is made as follows: Pour two gallons of cold water over a half-dozen lemons thinly sliced and add to this not quite an ounce of ginger root. To this mixture add a pound and a half of sugar. Let it come to a boil; then add a tablespoonful of cream of tartar. Strain and set in a cool place. When nearly cold add a yeast cake dissolved in a little lukewarm water; stir thoroughly; then set in a cool place over night. In the morning mix well and bottle. Be sure to make the corking airtight and lay the bottles on their sides in a cool place. A small bottle of Jamaica ginger extract may be used in place of the whole ginger if more convenient. JEWELS WORN IN NEW STYLE. Parisian Fancy Taken Up by Smart London Women of Fashion. One of the latest Parisian fancies in jewels to be taken up by smart London women is a corsage garniture of a fishnet drapery set with diamonds, the whole forming a brilliantly scintillating drapery. The fisher net is flet work of exceedingly fine gold threads, the meshes formed of diamonds. The drapery covers the shoulders and droops several inches, and it is made entirely by hand. Mrs. Cavendish-Bentinck, a sister of Mrs. Ogden Mills, wore this sort of diamond meshwork on the corsage of a royal blue robe, and Mrs. Edward Ward, a recent bride, wore a similar net of diamonds over a clinging black satin. Lady Camden was also seen in a pink robe having the diamond meshed net, and in each case two large diamond tassels and diamond set coros fastened the jeweled drapery at the back. The inverted tiara is another little fad in jewels. This is a straight band front from which jeweled points descend, disappearing in the coiffure. Mrs. Waldorf Astor wore one of these inverted diadems the same evening that the diamond studded corsage draperies were seen. The duchess of Rutland also wore a new pattern in diadems; in this instance it was a pointed crown of wheat ears meeting in the front and Queen Alexandra wore a similar colfure ornament, but instead of wheat ears a diamond thistle rose from the center. INÓGUE The crepe de chine coat is a great favorite. The satin coat is an excellent example of the present craze of associating a cloth or velling skirt with a wrap of satin. Have a pendant or two of unattached chiffon floating about you—it makes little difference where—and the success of your gown will be established. The empire and the Grecian are a particularly happy combination for a summer evening gown, the tunic lending itself admirably to the long skirt. For the more dressy tailor-made suit a new combination of white skirts and colored coats is making its appearance. The little red golf jacket has also re-appeared. O. P. Baur & Co.

That is to say, if the bridegroom discovers that the bride is compelled when she goes to bed to hang any of her supposed charms upon a chair he may consider himself free to wed again." "And what about it," asked the lady, "if a bride discovers, after the ceremony, that the groom wears a wig or dyes his mustache?" "Any woman who is foolish enough not to know a wig or a dyed mustache when she sees one ought never to make any complaint about it." Red Parasol Stopped Train. A curious incident has come to light in connection with the stopping of a London express train on the Caledonian main line near Rockcliffe station, a few miles north of Carlisle. The train was running at full speed when the driver observed a red object by the side of the line which he regarded as a danger signal. The train was accordingly pulled up, when it was found that the object in question was a red parasol carried by a woman who, wishing to cross the line at a level crossing, was awaiting the passing of the express.—London Daily Mail.

When Mrs. Nichols went to Gloucester this year she called at the quaint little cottage and found the old woman rather more bent than last year and looking a good deal older as she tottered along her little garden leaning on a stick.

The Direct Primary Nomination Movement By Edward P. Costigan in Clay's Review, Denver Great in many ventures, alike of war and peace, the framers of the United States constitution were in no respect greater than in this: That they were both among the seers and molders of the world's vastest self-governing movement. Considered as an isolated fact, the Federal constitution is a compromise of singular radicalism and weighty conservatism. Examined as a product of the days preceding the famous Revolution, 1905 to the Wisconsin had this to say of Wis experience with primary "The practical trial of suited in its general app out the state. The con for it by those who adoption was justified." And in Kansas, within wide-spread satisfaction pressed over the voters by this means of public "When France in wrath her giant limbs upreared, And with an oath that smote earth, sky and sea Stamped her strong foot and swore she would be free." she would be free," it is a marvelous progressive document. Indeed, it would, perhaps, shock some present-day Americans, who are accustomed to term Alexander Hamilton as an ultra conservative, to realize that measured by his time, Hamilton advocating merely the popular election of the lower house of Congress, was a more essentially Democratic figure than is that citizen who today shrinks from the trial of direct primary nomination, or even, in an experimental way, of the initiative and referendum. Yet is this not in fact a very moderate statement? In America, in 1786, while the more immediate precedents of a liberty loving sort, outside of the experience of the colonies themselves, were those of England they were tied up with numerous complexities of autocratic fiction and aggression. The most inspiring precedents for popular self-government then available were, in truth, to be found in historic Greece. Those precedents lay buried in an antiquity of two thousand years; they had ruled but a limited area, either of space or time; They were allied with and in a sense founded on the deplorable practice of human slavery; they perished in their pride, and bore with them to the tomb all save the glory of mind, spirit and inexinguishable tradition. Today, in contrast, we boast a continental breadth of republican life; a nation spread in liberty and power from one to the other of the world's greatest seas; almost half a hundred sovereign states united in a sovereign nationality; and behind us the accomplished fact of one hundred and twenty years of constitutional self-government. Direct Primary Experiments. Direct Primary Experiments. Twenty of those years have followed a notable revolt against the purchase and theft of general elections. That revolt began with the introduction in Massachusetts in 1888, and has included since the practical universal adoption of the Australian secret ballot; and through almost ten of those twenty years (to call only part of the roll) we have been permitted to measure the results of the trial, either under state laws or party rules, of direct primary nominations in such commonwealths as Minnesota, Oregon, Illinois, Wisconsin, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and more recently Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Washington. Within a few years—as part, no doubt, of the same general trend of life and thought—more than thirty state Legislatures with solemn formality have expressed themselves affirmatively in behalf of the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people; and within the bounds of the constitution, the people of Iowa, Oregon and Kansas have recently undertaken, and the people of Wisconsin soon will endeavor to impress in advance their choice for United States senators on the respective state Legislatures on which the formal selection is legally imposed. The popular self-assertion thus revealed recalls with force that historic sequence of events through which the people of the United States have swept aside, except in name, the Constitution's Electoral College, and have taken to themselves, in all save form, the right of direct popular election of the President of the republic. And the end is not yet. It is apparent that the river of equalizing human life and opportunity, rising from the Middle Ages with the discovery of America, draws ever nearer the universal ocean of self-governing democracy. Satisfactory Results. But what have been the results of the direct primary nomination experiment? Remembering always that any popular law is only an opportunity, and that its mere letter will kill, unless the spirit of the people keep it alive, remembering also the resistance of the corruption and intrigue attempted to be shorn by the direct primary system—we should not be surprised at bitter criticism, and even at the occasional failure of laws crippled by adroit political hostility. Adverse criticism there has, in fact, been, but it is doubtful whether any signal failure has yet received the record of general consent. The conservative New York Nation has testified to the satisfaction with which direct primary elections have been hailed in Minnesota, the earliest state in this field of experiment. Oregon writers express no doubt of the value and discriminating operation of their system; Washington's recent trial, watched with anxiety, has been sanctioned with enthusiasm. Governor, now Senator La Follette, in his special message of May Recall Minister Wu. Peking.—The Chinese government is considering the recall of Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister at Washington, on account of recent disclosures on his part, which are believed here to have been indiscreet. The government for some months has been embarrassed by Mr. Wu's platform and other utterances and by his attitude as a public character in America. Liang Tuen Yen, assistant secretary of the board of foreign affairs, is the leading candidate for the position at Washington in succession to Wu Ting Fang. 1905 to the Wisconsin Legislature had this to say of Wisconsin's first experience with primary nominations: "The practical trial of the law resulted in its general approval throughout the state. The contention made for it by those who advocated its adoption was justified." And in Kansas, within a few weeks, wide-spread satisfaction has been expressed over the voters' repudiation by this means of public officials whose fidelity to the general welfare had become an object of suspicion. Necessioy for Primary Laws. Necessioy for Primary Laws. If Colorado has not—as became a land of pioneers—headed the march of this significant and prophetic movement, it is at least comforting to recall that each of its leading political organizations in times past, in state conventions has declared a definitely favorable attitude. Comforting, I say, for a moment's thought must convince any one familiar with the practical operations of our nominating and elective machinery that the direct nomination system is the most natural and efficient aid—if it be in fact, not indispensable—to successful representative government. In fact, if representative government as we know it is to continue; if it is not to be supplanted by a practically pure democracy whose most efficient tools are the initiative, referendum and recall—the people directly assuming the burden of making and nullifying the laws—it is certain that means must be devised for compelling legislatures to embody in statutes, and executives to enforce, far more genuinely the mature popular sense of justice among men. Evils of Machine Politics. The necessayl for the direct nomination system is too generally understood to require re-statement. It is found in the frequent failure, under the rule of caucus and convention nominations, of the whole scheme of representative government. Years ago James Russell Lowell wrote: "We would not tolerate for a moment a fixed jury to pass on the life of a single individual; yet we are content to leave the life of our nation to the mercy of a packed convention." Much more recently William Travers Jerome, in a noteworthy campaign, stated the case this way: "One of the greatest evils of the present time is that certain small groups of men have, and in some instances a single man has obtained control of the executive machinery of government, and of nominating conventions, and stand between the public servant and the voters." And within not many weeks Governor Hughes of New York, demanding the enactment of a law in accordance with the state constitution, was compelled to use harsh words like these concerning the opposition confronting him: "The iniquity is, that behind every senator is a boss, and behind every boss is a special interest that uses the boss." The Direct Primary the Solution. Such being acknowledged political conditions, now and in the past, where the people coming to their own have not dethroned the political manipulators of caucuses and conventions, is it any matter for wonder that the public, more and more aroused, has more and more assumed the direct nominating power for executive, legislative and judicial offices, too long resigned to corrupt any designing manipulators? Herbert Spencer once said: "No human being, however wise or good, is fit to be sole ruler over the doings of an involved society." And if our republic has any vitality, this truth is quite as applicable to the political boss of New York, or Philadelphia, or Cincinnati, or San Francisco, or Denver, as to any throned and autocratic monarch. Under adequate primary nomination laws it is possible to wipe out the shame of cities and of states; to substitute the selection in the first instance by our people of our office holding class; and to create among our officials, a new, finer and more self-respecting allegiance. Seven Reasons for a Primary Law in Colorado. The following, then, are a few reasons calling for the adoption of an honest direct primary nomination law in Colorado: It will tend to representative government—to the selection of officials named by the people and responsible to them, who will make and enforce laws in response to deliberate public demands. It will tend to assure a more willing and efficient civil service, and legislation for the general welfare instead of for special interests. It will tend to eliminate the political boss and his grosser exhibitions of political vice. It will restore our government to simple first principles. It will make easy other required ballot law amendments for facilitating and making intelligent the expressed will of the voters. It will augment the sway of public opinion for public ends. It will tend to guarantee gradual rather than violent, and evolutionary rather than revolutionary political development. The Firm Dissolved. The affairs of a firm in Oklahoma recently becoming much involved, the partnership was dissolved. The attitude of the senior member thereof may be gathered from a notice he caused to be published in a local paper. It ran as follows: "From this day forth there is no such firm as Blank and Dash. Those that owe the firm may call on me as soon as they are ready, and those that the firm owes had better call on him as quickly as they can." WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS TO THE BUYER Few people realize the importance of the words "Trade Mark" stamped on the goods they buy. If they'd it would save them many a dollar spent for worthless goods and put a lot of unscrupulous manufacturers out of the business. When a manufacturer adopts a trade mark he assumes the entire responsibility for the merit of his product. He takes his business repulsion in his hands—out in the limelight—"on the square" with the buyer of his goods, with the dealer, and with himself. The other manufacturer—the one who holds out "inducements," offering to brand all goods purchased with each local dealer's brand—sidesteps responsibility, and when these inferior goods "come back" it's the local dealer that must pay the penalty. A good example of the kind of protection afforded the public by a trade mark is that offered in connection with National Lead Company's advertising of pure White Lead as the best paint material. That the Dutch Boy Painter trade mark is an absolute guaranty of purity in White Lead is proved to the most skeptical by the offer National Lead Company make to send free to any address a blow-pipe and instructions how to test the white lead for themselves. The testing outfit is being sent out from the New York office of the company, Woodbridge Building. PICNIC FOR THE PUP. His Devotion to Duty Rewarded by Strange Luxuries. A Boston bulldog owned by George H. Clapp was so determined to capture a woodchuck which he had chased into its den that he followed after and staid in the hole all night. When the dog had got his jaws about the enemy he found that he could not get out owing to the small size of the animal's hole. Rather than lose his prey the dog retained his hold on the woodchuck over night, and was helped out by his master in the morning. The dog was nearly exhausted, and revived after feeding and drinking in a curious manner. He consumed about two quarts of unguarded ice cream, which had been set aside for a party, and capped the climax by falling into a bucket of lemonade.—Worcester (Mass.) Telegram. Appreciates Teachers' Work. One woman says that when her children bring home their school reports at the end of the month she always finds five minutes in which to write a personal letter to the teachers. If there is something that the children have learned that surprised her she writes a note of thanks and appreciation, and if the reports are unsatisfactory she writes offering to help the teacher in any way she may suggest. Needless to say, the teachers are appreciative, as any one will know who has ever taught school. When the Little Man Scored. A meek-looking little man with a large pasteboard box climbed on the car. As he did so he bumped slightly into a sleepy, corpulent passenger with a self-satisfied look and two little dabs of sidewhiskers. As the car rounded a curve the box rubbed against him again and he growled: "This is no freight car, is it?" "Nope," returned the meek little chap with the box, "and when you come right down to it, it ain't any cattle car, either, is it?" Special Test of Timber.

Aunt Mandy is an old colored woman who for years has done washing for several families. She has had several matrimonial experiences, and when her last husband died one of her customers attempted to condole with her. "I was very sorry to hear of your husband's death, Aunt Mandy," she said. "Ya'as, ma'am," said Aunt Mandy. "He was a pow'ful good man." "What did he die of?" "Ah really don't know, ma'am." "You don't know- Gracious! Couldn't the doctor tell you?" "Ah didn't have no doctah, ma'am," said Aunt Mandy. "Hejes done died a natch'ral death." It wasn't long, however, before Aunt Mandy had another husband. "I hear you are married again," remarked her patron one day. "Ya'as, ma'am," giggled Aunt Mandy. "I was done married las' Sunday." "And is your new husband equal to the last?" "Ya'as, indeedy, ma'am," said Aunt Mandy. "He's jes as equal, if not equaller." On the Doctors. Mrs. Mary G. Baker Eddy, who, of course, has no faith in medicine, told a Western Christian Scientist, at one of her latest audiences, an anecdote about a friend of hers. This friend, a thin and nervous woman, could not sleep. She visited her physician and the man said: "Do you eat anything just before going to bed?" "Oh, no, doctor," the patient replied. "Well," said the physician, "just keep a pitcher of milk and some biscuit beside you, and every night, the last thing you do, make a light meal." "But doctor," cried the lady, "you told me on no account to eat anything before retiring." "Pooh, pooh," said the doctor, "that was three months ago. Science has made enormous strides since then." CURED HER CHILDREN. Girls Suffered with Itching Eczema—Baby Had a Tender Skin, Too—Relied on Cuticura Remedies. "Some years ago my three little girls had a very bad form of eczema.

I washed my children's heads with Cuticura Soap and then applied the wonderful ointment, Cuticura. I did this four or five times and I can say that they have been entirely cured. I have another baby who is so plump that the folds of skin on his neck were broken and even bled. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and the next morning the trouble had disappeared. Mme.

This woman says that sick women should not fail to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as she did. Mrs. A. Gregory, of 2355 Lawrence St., Denver, Col., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I was practically an invalid for six years, on account of female troubles. I underwent an operation by the doctor's advice, but in a few months I was worse than before. A friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it restored me to perfect health, such as I have not enjoyed in many years. Any woman suffering as I did with backache, bearing-down pains, and periodic pains, should not fail to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness or nervous prostration. Why don't you try it? Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. ABSENT-MINDED.

The first is a kimono jacket; figured silk is used for it, the band round it and at the end of the sleeves is of plain silk to match. Materials required: 5 yards silk, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard plain silk. The second is a design for a pretty jacket, flowered delaine is chosen, the turndown collar is of lace, edged with a narrower lace, it is caught in at the waist under a satin ribbon band, which is tied at the front and bust; the sleeve is gathered into a turn-back cuff of lace. Materials required: 4 yards 30 inches wide, 1 yard piece lace, 2 yards narrow lace, 5 yards ribbon. Spotted muslin is used for the third design, the turn-down collar has a deep frill of soft lace to edge it; lace is also put round the lower part, and on the sleeve; it is fastened in front with a pale blue satin bow. Materials required: $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards 28 inches wide, about 7 yards lace, and 3 yards ribbon. The New Undergarment Is Worn Under the Petticoatless Gown. Lingerie dresses for grownups are being made of sheerest mull without a scrap of lace of any kind, but covered with very bold floral design done in white and richly raised. The design is massed about the torso, bust, waist and hips, the skirt set on to the bodie with a beading and a sash wound loosely twice about the figure, but weighted at the ends. This sash is in printed silk with the design massed on the ends above deep fringe. The neck and hem of the mull gown is trimmed simply with hem-stitching and tucks, and the short embroidered sleeve is straight and wide enough to reveal the arm bare to the shoulder, its hem plain. Lingerie fans in handkerchief embroidery mounted on sandal wood are the newest things, and most fascinating of all possible combinations is a single garment to wear over silk skirt and corset, and made entirely of narrow encircling bands of lace set together with a crocheted linen stitch. This garment consists of corset cover, pantaloons drawn about the knee with frills and ribbon, and a short, scant skirt that does not pass the knee, the entire thing is lace bands save for half a dozen narrow bands of white mull let in about the waist and hips. This garment is hardly thicker than a handkerchief, and yet it is enough to prevent the corset and garters from making a mark through the petticoatless gown.—From a Paris Letter to Vogue. Gowns Not Over Tight. Very many gowns worn by aristocratic Parisiennes show that the best dressed women, while they have restricted the number of their garments to next to nothing, and while draping the bust, but leaving the entire arm and shoulder absolutely nude and one ankle in coquettish evidence, do not, however, drape their gowns with the tightness that some of the sensational dressmaker's models would lead one to suppose. Though the draperies are close and everything is weighted to hang flat and straight, nothing is stretched into a tight wrinkle. Flesh colored or white tulle is inevitably inside the corsage, as the corsage line runs straight about under the arm or extends in a deep point or square quite to the high belt. Linen Reticules. Attractive pocketbooks, like reticules, are made of embroidered white linen. They are just the shape of that pocket Mother Goose's Lucy lost, and they are every bit as picturesque. The most practical have a long band of linen to form the handle, and through this the belt may be slipped, so there is no danger of the owner sharing the fate of the sad little Lucy. The Pocket Revival. The pocket is said to be coming back and women do not know whether to be glad or sorry, for upon the whole the pocket had a very demoralizing influence upon the dress generally, as it was always too full and caused a sag in the side of the skirt. The trim little blouse pockets are really more for ornament than for use. Silk Remnants Available This is the time of year when the wise woman will find on the silk remnant counter lengths that will make the nicest sort of petticoats this winter. Now that the skirts will be so much narrower it will take only a small amount of material, and this may easily be eked out with a bit of lace ruffle. Finger Nails Not Pointed. The pointed finger nail is now a thing $c^2$ the past and will go into history along with the hoopskirt and bustle perhaps. It is now considered correct to follow the outline of the finger in giving shape to the nails, and moreover a high polish is not considered good taste. Use of Small Pulley Will Make the Work Easier. The fern baskets and hanging baskets now used on porches when hung high enough to look well usually are out of reach and the watering of them often enough to keep plants thrifty is a task. To overcome the need of standing on chairs, stools, etc., in order to reach them suspend the baskets by a cord such as is used on window awnings, and instead of the usual hook in the ceiling of porch screw in a small pulley through which to run cord. Screw another pulley in ceiling of porch column and an awning hook in back of column about four feet from floor. Run cord through first pulley along ceiling of porch to second pulley and through cord down back of post, and fasten on awning hook. When necessary to water basket lower to within easy reach or rest on porch railing. The flowers can easily be watered and cared for and the basket raised to place again. With fern baskets which must be taken down and plunged into a bucket of water at least once a week the plan is excellent, as the cord can be long enough to allow basket to be lowered to porch floor. Half Finished Embroidery. For quite a long time the needlework shops have been selling pillow tops, doilies, centerpieces and table covers partly embroidered, so the beginner in the art merely has to copy the work already begun. This is a particularly easy method for the elderly woman whose eyesight is not sufficiently good to choose the shades of the silks for herself. It is, too, much more encouraging to finish work already begun. It gives an impetus, a desire to see it complete, quite lacking when just the stamped material is lying in the work basket. Besides embroidery one may also buy bits of drawn work in which the threads have already been pulled and one corner is finished. As so few know the intricate stitches, it is far better to invest in one of these—even if it costs somewhat more. AFTERNOON GOWN IN GREEN. A Here is a charming suggestion for an afternoon gown in lettuce-green voile. The princess skirt is made somewhat like the much-talked-of sheath skirt, but does not conform so closely to the figure. Just below the knee line there is a band trimming formed of narrow black velvet ribbon. Same decoration is carried out on front of bodice, on which there is also elaborate use of tucking and stitched bands of the material. The underpuffs of sleeves are heavy all over white lace. The large black straw hat is trimmed with a profusion of green leaves and a huge bow of black velvet ribbon on left side.

Producers Fresh Beer Delivered Daily to all parts of the city WAYS OF PUTTING UP CANNED VEGETABLES. Some Trouble to Prepare, but They Are Welcome Additions to the Menu During the Cold Months. Canned Beets (Whole).—Wash the beets, selecting those that are small and of medium size. Leave on a couple of inches of the top, so that they will not bleed, and be careful not to break the skin. Boil half an hour, or until done; turn off the hot water and put the beets carefully into wide-mouthed jars. Fill with hot water, set into a pan of boiling water and cook until the water in the jars has reached the boiling point. Fill up the jars to overflowing from the boiling kettle, put on the top, and seal at once. Canned Beets (Sliced).—Boll and peel early beets as for immediate use, slice and put into fruit jars. Add salt, pepper and a tablespoonful of sugar to a quart of good cider vinegar, and bring to a boll. While still scalding pour over the beets in the jars, and when filled to overflowing put on the tops of the jars and seal. Canned Tomatoes (Whole).—Choose large, firm tomatoes of uniform size, lay them in boiling water for a few moments, until the skins are loosened, and slip these off. Lay just enough tomatoes to fill one jar in a large saucepan of boiling water, cover and leave for eight minutes. Take them out carefully, put into the jar, fill full with boiling water and seal. Canned Tomatoes (Stewed).—Scald the tomatoes, take off the skins and lay the tomatoes in a colander to drip. When all are ready put into a preserving kettle, bring to the boiling point and cook for 15 minutes. Drain off the surplus liquor, add salt to taste, and turn the tomatoes, boiling, into the cans. Close at once. Canned Corn and Tomatoes.—Boil 24 ears of tender green corn until done, and cut from the cob while still hot. Peel and chop into small pieces 24 ripe tomatoes. Put the two vegetables together, salt to taste and return to the fire in a preserving kettle. Cook for a minute after it reaches the boil; can and seal immediately. Canned Spinach.—Pick over the spinach and wash it carefully in three or four waters, that no sand or dirt may be left in it. Pick the sprays apart, discarding all tough stems and wilted leaves. Put over the fire in boiling salted water, and cook, as for the table, for about 20 minutes, or until the spinach is done. Take it out with a fork or skimmer, and pack into jars, filling them full. Pour in boiling water to fill all the cracks and overflow the tops, and seal. When to be used, it can be taken out, heated, chopped, and seasoned as the rest spinach. Care of Curtains. When the curtains are taken down for the summer too much care cannot be expended upon them, for they are not only difficult to replace, but they are the most annoying things in the world to make for the particular windows of the house. The heavy ones should, of course, be folded lengthwise in half and laid flat, particularly if they are of velvet. A very good idea is to first lay a sheet upon an unused bed; upon this lay the curtains, folded in half, inside out, one on top of the other, and then cover the whole with another sheet. If they are going to be kept in the storeroom, two chairs may be placed back to back—though not too close together—and the curtains may be spread over them and covered with a sheet. There will then be no unsightly creases to mar them and they may be rehung. Barberry Sauce with Sweet Apples. To a peck of sweet apples allow a half peck of barberries and two quarts of molasses. Look over the berries carefully, removing stems and leaves, wash and put over to cook with water to float them. Add the molasses and cook gently until the berries are tender. Skim out the berries and put into the syrup as many of the apples, pared, quartered and cored as the kettle will hold conveniently. As soon as tender put into the jar with the berries and boil the syrup down until thick. Pour over the fruit, let stand until the next day, scald all together once more, then put away in cans if you have plenty, or in a large stone jar. Tomatoes a la Creme. Take a small piece from the stem and of firm, ripe tomatoes and carefully remove the seeds. Cut 12 mushrooms in small pieces, add two tablespoonfuls of fresh bread crumbs, one tablespoonful of butter, one-half cupful of chopped chicken, and a light seasoning of salt and pepper; have the butter melted and the crumbs soft. Mix well and fill the tomatoes. Bake for 30 minutes, basting often with melted butter. Whip three tablespoonfuls of cream, add one tablespoonful of melted butter, and place a portion on each tomato. Pompadour Pudding. Add two ounces of fine white bread crumbs to one-third pint of boiling cream, when cool beat five ounces of finely chopped suet, one ounce of flour, two ounces of crushed macaroons, two ounces of stoned raisins, two ounces of candied peel or preserved cherries, chopped, zest of a lemon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Beat well, add yolks of four eggs and a glass of brandy, pour into a mold and steam it. Serve with a custard sauce, hot, flavored with oranges or sherry.
