LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY ROOSEVELT ON PROGRESS Of the Race in an Address Delivered at the Laying of the Corner Stone of the Colored Y. M. C. A. Building at Washington, D. C. VOL. XV. ROOSEV ON PRO Of the Race in an Address De Corner Stone of the Building at Wa Washington, Nov 26. The presence of President Roosevelt at the laying of the cornerstone of the new home for the colored Y. M. C. A., made the event a most notable one among the colored people of the District of Columbia. The attendance was large, including not only a great gathering of colored residents, but many distinguished officials of the federal and local government. The president said: "The Y. M. C. A. has worked among colored men for less than 30 years. For a number of reasons for some time after the work was begun very little progress was made; indeed, at first, curiously enough, the churches tended to antagonize the Y. M. C. A. But during the last 20 years the Y. M. C. A. work among our colored fellow citizens has proceeded rapidly, and these are the very years in which the colored race in America has made most progress. The religious people, those standing highest in the colored churches, now appreciate as they failed to appreciate a quarter of a century ago, that innocent sports and amusements should be encouraged and that the poorest lesson to be taught to any men of any race is that pleasure and vice are synonymous terms. "It is noteworthy that of the 10,000 colored men attending colored colleges in this country half are active members of the Y. M. C. A. This speaks well for the spirit of these colleges, and gives us hope and encouragement for the character of the leaders of the colored race in the future. "Hundreds of young colored men are every year being lured away from the habit of decent living because they are not supplied with the chance to go where innocent and healthy amusements are provided in surroundings that encourage education and morality. "There is possibly nothing needed worse in all our cities and towns than well organized Young Men's Christian associations which shall stand for character building in the three-fold way in which the Y. M. C. A. endeavors to do its work. --- State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ed by Patron COLORA VELT OGRESS Delivered at the Laying of the Colored Y. M. C. A. Washington, D. C. "It pays far better to support the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in a community than to pay the salary of a policeman. "As for the white man, let him remember in this, as in all other matters, that to do justice to the colored man is demanded not only by the interest of the community every class of citizens shall feel effect of the raising or degrading of any class. "All men up' is a safer motto than 'some men down' and it is in the interest of every class of any community that members of every other class shall feel that industry, sobriety, good behavior, the conduct that marks a man as being a good neighbor and a good citizen should receive a proper reward, so as thereby to put a premium upon the development of such qualities. "I am not speaking of social relations; I am speaking of equality of treatment before the law, of equality of opportunity to earn a living, of equality of opportunity to earn the respect that should be accorded to the man who behaves decently and is a good neighbor and good citizen. "There are plenty of difficult problems in this country, plenty of problems requiring patience, forbearance and good judgment if they are to be dealt with wisely, and which cannot by any possibility receive even an approximately complete solution within a short time. What is known as the race problem is one of the most difficult; and it exists in the North as well as in the South. "But of one thing we can rest assured and that is that the only way in which to bring nearer the time when there shall be even an approximately fair solution of the problem is to treat each man on his merits as a man. He should not be treated badly if he hap pens to be of a given color, nor should he receive immunity for misconduct because he happens to be of a given color. Let us all strive, according to our ability and as far as the conditions will permit to secure to the man of one color who behaves uprightly and honestly, with thrift and with foresight, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1908. the same opportunity for reward and for living his life under the protection of the law and without molestation by outsiders, that would be his if he were of another color. "The avenues of employment should be open to one as to the other. Each should be given the right to prove by the life and work what his capacities are and should be judged accordingly. Each is entitled to the reward which he legitimately earns if he behaves well, each should be judged with the same severe impartiality if he behaves ill. The same fair treatment should be accorded all and every effort made to give equal opportunity to those of equal capacity and character. "It is the duty of the white man to see that exact justice is meted out to the colored man, the same justice he would receive if he were not colored, and upon the colored man is imposed the duty to make himself a useful citizen, to so behave as to win the respect of his white neighbor. "The performance of duty should be the test applied to white men and colored men alike, and each individual should be judged not by the fact of his color, but by the way in which he meets these demands of duty; and the first duty which each colored man owes to himself and his race is to work for the betterment both of himself and his race; for its educational, but above all, for its industrial and moral betterment. It is to the great interest of the white people, no less than of the colored people, that all possible educational facilities should be given the colored people; and it is of even greater interest to both races that the colored man should steadily strive for his own industrial and moral uplift." PUEBLO PEBBLES A fine piano has just been added to the Porters and Waiters Dining room at 306 Victoria Ave. Messrs. S. J. McClure and A. J. Harkless have purchased the saloon of P. P. Person on C streets, and will remodel the place in firstclass style. "Pap" Williams says the presence of S. H. Hobson is greatly missed in our midst, which is much regretted by his numerous friends among the R. R. boys. Those who enjoyed the suptuous Thanksgiving dinner at "Mothers" place are yet talking of the many good things that were served by the hostess, who, by-the-way, has no superior in pleasing in the line of serving the best eatables in the best way. Among the enjoyable events of last week was the Chittling supper at the Porters and Waiters Dining Room. About forty guests were present to partake of what a whole lot of people think the best part of a show. As usual, there were many calls for the popular dish long after its exhaustion. Percy Wallace an accomplished pianist of Salt Lake, furnished music for the occasion. Whist was an attractive feature of the evening's enjoyment on account of the prizes offered which were won by Mr. Elsie and Mr. Brooks and Miss Mary F. Holmes and Miss Lucy Turpin. Among the out-of-town guests were, Messrs. Brooks, Eldridge, Jennings, Atkins, Brown, Miss L. Blevins, Miss M. Ford, Louis Bingham, Mrs. Goders, J. G. Davis, T. B. Collsman, W. M. Thomas, H. Warmley. DEMAND EQUAL ACCOMMODATIONS A suit demanding dining and sleeping cars for Negroes, and all other traveling conveniences, as are accorded white passengers, was filed yesterday before the corporation commission against every railroad in Oklahoma, by a committee of prominent colored people. This step demanding separate and equal traveling facilities was decided on at the colored state Baptist convention at Oklahoma City last October. A committee of colored reverends and attorneys was appointed to get the matter in Legal shape. The papers were arranged and suit filed yesterday. The complaint states based on the Graham bill, commonly known as the "Jim Crow bill," which compels railroads to maintain separate and equal accommodations for the colored race. The complaint states that separate accommodations have been provided, but not equal. A smoking car, woman's compartment, station or depot steps, diner and sleeper are asked. The complaint also asks that white passengers be prevented from passing through the coaches for colored people either in getting to or from the white coaches; also that more care be exercised in placing baggage trucks. This latter grievance arises from the fact that as the coach for the colored people is usually immediately behind the baggage car, the baggage trucks are often very carelessly left near the entrance to the colored coaches, on carelessly moved back and forth, thus endangering the comfort and sometimes the safety of the colored passengers getting on and off the train. The committee filing the complaint consisted of Rev.W.H.Jernagin of Oklahoma City, Rev.T. Wesson of Muskogee, Rev. H. C. C. Caldwell of Benge, Rev. J. W. Jones of Meeker, Rev. C. A. Buchanan and J. W. Capers of Guthrie The case has been set by the commissioner for the first week in December—Daily Capital. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Chicago now has forty colored doctors, among the leading ones are Doctors D. H. Williams, Geo. C. Hall, M. A. Majors and A. A. Weslev. James L. Saunders of Arkansas sold recently 36 bales of cotton to the Goldman Cotton Company in Little Rock. The cotton was a long staple and sold for $9 \frac{1}{4} $ cents per pound. It was raised on his own farm and he received for it $I,626.75. A Y. M. C. A. building, costing $100,000 is soon to be erected in Washington City. An interesting fact in connection with the construction of the building, is that every brick will be laid by a colored man and 80 per cent. of the work will be done by colored labor. Mr. W. S. Pittman, the architect of Washington City, drew the plans and wrote the specifications. J. B. Britts of Fulton, Mo., put up over 10,000 cans of tomatoes, beans, corn, pumpkins, sweet potatoes and fruit this season. The fruit and vegetable were all raised on his farm. He feels so encouraged over the results of his work in this line that he intends putting in a larger canning plant next year and increase the acreage of his truck gardening accordingly. Philadelphia, Dec. 2.—Dr. John B. Taylor, the former champion quarter mile runner of the University of Pennsylvania, died today from typhoid pneumonia. Taylor was the first Negro ever picked to carry the American flag on his breast in Olympic championships, he running in the 400 meter race and in the relay event. In the summer of 1904 he visited England and France and won the majority of his races. The Negroes of Richmond, Va. own and control 4 banks, 4 clothing stores, 5 drug stores, 2 first-class hotels, 4 livery stables, 5 printing establishments, 8 fraternal insurance companies and 7 meat markets. They also conduct an insurance and banking company with a surplus of over $300,000, necessitating the employment of 80 clerks. Besides these, there --- NO.11 are 50 restaurants and many other business enterprises. Lexington, Ky., Nov. 25.—Mrs. Russell Sage of New York, has given $25,000 toward the establishment of a college for colored youth in Kentucky, to be a branch of Berea College. This brings the fund up to $35,000, leaving $50,000, to be raised. The college will be modeled after the Tuskegee Institute, and was decided upon when the courts declared Berea College could not 'educate both white and colored students in the same school. Sacramento, Nov. 14.-Mrs. Amy Ray is receiving many congratulations for having won the first prize in the oratorical contest recently held here under the auspices of the State Woman's Temperance Union of California. In the contest were four white women two white men and Mrs. Ray. In the presence of an audience that taxed the capacity of the Unitarian Church at Sacramento, Mrs. Ray, the only Negro contestant, recited in a matchless way "The Modern Belshazzar," and when she was done it is said the audience broke forth in applause which lasted ten minutes. She was awarded the grand diamond medal and graduation diploma over her competitors, the prize being awarded, after impartial decision on the part of the judges, by Prof. Alexander Sheriff, Superintendent of the Public Schools. The late Senator Vilis of Wisconsin made a bequest in his will of $10,000,000 for the State University at Madison. A provision is made that in the use of his bequest to the University for the assistance of young men in pursuit of higher education—preference be given to colored students. In inserting this provision in his will Senator Vilas paid a tribute to the Scholarship ambition of young colored men. We wish to say that there are many men of prominence in this country who are friendly to the colored man, and Senator Vilas is only one of many, who sees the possibilities in the higher education of colored youth. This bequest of Senator Vilis came as a great surprise, as in his life he never evinced any friendly feeling toward the race. It only goes to show what prejudice will do. The Senator no doubt was averse to offending the South and waited until he should be where adverse criticism could avail.—The Sentiment Maker. The Better Sentiment. Once Bismarck was asked to write a sentiment in an album and found that the last contributor had penned the following: "I have lived long, and learned to forgive much." Bismarck wrote: "I have lived long, and learned that much has been forgiven me." The Texas Club No gambling allowed. All the late daily, weekly and monthly publications.

Manipulation of the leading butter markets of the country by a coterie of Chicago, Elgin and Eastern produce men is said to be responsible to a large extent for the present extravagant prices for butter. The San Francisco Evening Globe has been sold to C. H. Wilson, an attorney representing the Ocean Publishing Company, of which he is president. The paper was started about five months ago by the Calkins Newspaper syndicate.

The new prosecuting attorney announces that he will enforce the law. It is claimed by Wyoming sheep men that not only does the wool production of the state, about $7,500,000 in 1908, place Wyoming at the head of wool producing states, but that the geographical center of the wool producing industry is located in Wyoming. This center, as located by a careful comparison of wool statistics and areas, is a short distance from Diamond, a Colorado & Southern station, about forty miles in a bee line west of north of Chevenne. GENERAL NEWS J. Pierpont Morgan recently paid $75,000 for a rare Chinese rug. Sampel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) passed his seventy-third birthday quietly at his home in Redding, Conn., November 30th.

More than 2,000 West Virginia coke ovens in the Norfolk & Western fields, which have been idle for almost a year, have just resumed operations. The withdrawal of Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the Republican state committee, is conceded to practically insure the election of Secretary of State Elihu Root to succeed Thomas C. Platt as senator from New York. Robert F.

This if followed up will cure an acute cold in 24 hours. The ingredients can be gotten at any drug store. Prefer Cash to Checks. The bank check has taken small hold as yet upon the citizens of Mexico, especially when amounts of less than $1,000 are concerned. They consider it much easier to pay spot cash than to give a check for amounts of $50 and $100 and maintain with some amount of reason that a business deal can be put through with better advantage when the cash is in sight. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics.

"What do you think, my dear?" exclaimed Mr. Brownjones, in tones of joyous excitement. "You know the Federation of Authors is meeting in our town—well, we are to have the honor of entertaining the celebrated novelist, Godolphin Whatnot, as our guest." "Um!" responded Mrs. Brownjones, enigmatically. "Is Mr. Whatnot a realist or an idealist?" "Why do you want to know?" asked her husband. "Well, if he is an idealist, I can just leave things as they are; but if he is a realist I must give the house a thorough cleaning from top to bottom. I may not be literary, but I've dipped into realistic novels, and I know their styles: 'The right-hand curtain hung slightly askew, suggesting that one of the drapery pins had lost its grip. A pendulous cobweb waved mournfully from the cornice just above the door leading into the hall, and there was a fine bloom of dust, like that of the purple grape, on the piano lid. In the left-hand corner of the room, almost buried in the pile of a somewhat faded carpet, was an invisible hairpin, clearly indicating the recent presence of a woman in the apartment." Just find out at once, John, what Mr. Whatnot is, and then I shall know how I am to proceed. I have no desire to let my house afford material to a modern realistic writer. A Clear Retort.

SAFETY APPLIANCES CONSIDER FEATURES FOR IM PROVEMENT OF COAL MINING INDUSTRY. Pittsburg.—Coal operators, mine owners, engineers, practical miners, scientists and national and state officials, all here for the meeting of the American Mining Congress, Thursday afternoon participated in the formal dedication of the federal government's laboratory and testing station, recently established in this city. Tests were made at the artificial mine. The first test was a safety powder, dry fire clay and bituminous coal dust, the latter placed on shelves representing ledges in real mines. The powder was ignited for the blast and did not explode the dust. There was a terrific explosion during the fourth test, when one and one-tenth pounds of black powder and 20 pounds of road dust (actual mine dust) were used. The recoil was strong and the flames covered the full length of the artificial mine. The test proved the combination to be exceedingly dangerous. At this point experts of the station appeared wearing the Draeger oxygen apparatus, including metal and glass hoods, chemical chamber and air bag, designed to render breathing normal, or nearly so, while the operator is surrounded by the most deadly gases and vapors. The men hurried into the gallery, still filled with the fumes of the explosion, and apparently were not affected by any of the gases. This device is designed particularly for rescue work, and was used with good results at Marianna. A plea for the conservation of the nation's natural resources was the keynote of the annual address of J. H. Rlchards, president of the congress, delivered Thursday night, at the Hotel Schenley, where a regular session was held and a dinner given for the delegates. Secretary Garfield told of the efforts of the Interior Department for conservation of resources and preservation of the lives of those engaged in mining. The burden, however, he said, was upon the several states, rather than the federal government, each state to enact legislation according to its need. Dr. J. A. Holmes, head of the Geological Survey for this district, said the big question of the hour is how to use the waste from mines—the refuse coal and other mine products that are not now marketed. The testing station, he said, is making experiments with this waste and has developed great energy. In an address, former Governor A. S. Fleming, of West Virginia, a director of the Monongahela mines, said: "I wonder sometimes if there is such a thing as too much ventilation in the mines?" The American Mining Congress has recalled that in all the recent mine explosions, the mines were the best ventilated in the world. One of the most important actions was the introduction of a resolution providing for a tax of one-half cent a ton on all coal mined to provide for pensions and other relief in mine accidents. John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, was given close attention when he spoke on conditions in the mines here and abroad. Taking up the subject of fatalities in the mines, Mr. Mitchell said that provision should be made to pay every widow of a miner who was killed in a mine $1,000 and an injured miner $500. This money, he said, could be secured through a small tax on the coal that was taken out and the tax would be such that it would not bear heavy on the coal operator. He told of the experienced miners formerly employed in the mines, whereas at present the miners are mostly foreigners and wholly inexperienced. Will Hear Message Tuesday. Washington. — The President's annual message to Congress will be read to the second session of the Sixtieth Congress on Tuesday, the 8th, instead of Monday, the opening day of Congress, according to the plan now announced. The Senate will adjourn on Monday out of respect to the memory of Senator Allison. Riot and Pillage in Hayti. Port Au Prince, Hayti.—For many hours during the night following the flight of Nord Alexis, riot and pillage prevailed in Port Au Prince. The populace, maddened by the spirit of revolt, turned from the skiff that carried their deposed president to the French training ship Duguay Trouin, and gave full vent to their passions. They looted stores and residences and fought among themselves over the booty and were only held in check by an armed force hastily gathered together by General Polidevin. COLORADO ITEMS Arrangements are being made for the dedication of the new city hall at Trinidad January 21st. A Chautauqua association has been organized at Fort Morgan and a guarantee fund of $2,500 will be raised. Denver building permits for the month of November amounted to $548,200. This is a gain of $202,345 over November, 1907. The Citizens' Building and Loan Company, capitalized at $25,000 in 1,250 shares at $200 each, has been organized at Greeley and a large number of shares sold. The plat of the townsite of Sligo in northwestern Weld county, which was surveyed twenty years ago, has just been filed at Greeley by the Lincoln Land Company. It is a misdemeanor under the laws of Colorado to entice children away from school during study hours and is punishable by a heavy fine, or imprisonment in the county jail. The Rock Island is said to be arranging to place gasoline motor cars in service between Colorado Springs and Pueblo. It is reported that several cars have been ordered to be put in service early in the spring. The Colorado Hotel Clerks' Association has voted to incorporate. Close affiliation will be made with the Nebraska-Iowa Hotel Clerks' Association for the exchange of bulletins and warnings about dead beats. The trustees of the town of Yuma have granted to Smith & Theobold a twenty-year franchise for an electric lighting plant which will be run in connection with the new flouring mill and to be in operation by April next. S. M. Wiswell of Roggen, Weld county, pleaded guilty to unlawful enclosure of public lands before Judge Lewis of the United States District Court at Denver. He was fined $25 and costs and allowed to go, after hearing a severe lecture from the judge. The $250,000 suit of E. L. Schaffer against the Portland Gold Mining Company, involving the apex right in the F. & C. C. claims, was settled out of Court at Colorado Springs for a cash consideration, the amount of which is withheld. The Portland company acquires the entire claim. Bruce Eaton has donated a block on the west side of Eaton to the school board of Eaton and the district has agreed to raise the money to erect a new high school building which will cost $25,500. The present high school building will be given over to the grades. The Southern Colorado Power Company will spend nearly $500,000 enlarging its plant at Trinidad, and extending wires to many camps of Las Animas and Huerrano counties and to Colfax county, New Mexico, where it has contracts for supplying light and power to a number of coal mines. By being made a department of the United States department of agriculture, the Colorado state pure food commission has been officially given the power to act in interstate matters, which increases the scope of the commission and enables it to prosecute manufacturers and dealers in food-stuffs located in other states. Wilbur F. Cannon is given the title of "chief of food and drug inspection laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture." At a mass meeting of Fort Collins citizens, a proposition of the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern railroad, asking Fort Collins to subscribe $200,000 worth of stock, was rejected, because of the inability of the city to raise the sum asked. An effort will be made to come to an agreement on some other basis. The company offered a forfeit of $100,000 in bankable securities, in case the stock was subscribed, to have the road built to Fort Collins by July 1, 1909. Governor Buchtel has made the following appointments on the Colorado State Commission on the Conservation of national resources: Hon. Frank C Goudy, Denver, chairman; president of the State Agricultural College, Fort Collins; dean of the Colorado School of Forestry of Colorado College; Colorado Springs; Col. Kenneth L. Fahnestock, Dr. John Grass, Senator John J. Harris, William J. Hartman, Senator Benjamin J. Jefferson, Judge Alfred R. King, Murdo McKenzie, Senator Dexter D. Sapp, W. G. M. Stone, Senator Bulkeley Wells and W. M. Wiley. Indorsement of the High Line ditch project for bringing water from the western slope to irrigate land immediately adjoining Denver, has been given by the clearing house banks of Denver. The Clearing House Association in a letter to the mayor and city council says: "We understand that the county commissioners are ready to furnish $5,000 if the city renews its promise of $10,000. The authorization of such expenditures by the city and county should meet with the approval of substantial business men and business concerns of our city, who watch with interest this project to reclaim arid lands and make beautiful suburbs for Denver. The modern tubular mill and also the shafthouse at the Jo Dandy mine on Raven hill at Cripple Creek were totally destroyed by fire on the morning of the 28th ult. The loss will approximate $120,000, with $40,000 insurance. There were no men underground at the time as the miners on the night shift had come to the surface just before the fire broke out.

THE whole country seems to have been tickled by a slang expression used by President Roosevelt the day before election day, when he jubilantly exclaimed "We've got them beaten to a frazzle." The press of the country has unanimously given the President credit for coining the expression and it has been set down as another Roosevelt epigram. We don't know where the expression came from, but we do know that it has been a part of the vernacular of colored slang artists for the past five years or more, and we are inclined to believe that it had its origin among the colored sporting element of Denver, where it has been heard often in connection with both sporting and political events. BISHOP GAINES, of the A. M. E. church, has been delivering a new lecture to the people on a very old subject—race harmony. It is still as an ideal to be worked for, and not as a principle established, however, to which the bishop applies his thought. "The race question will never be settled except along the lines of Christianity," is the bishop's deduction, for "God has so forced it that there can never be harmony between men unless this harmony is based on mutual rights." We have our doubts about the bishop's theory. Such harmony as exists between the races of the world is based upon the mutual respect of the races for one another's physical powers rather than upon altristic ideals. The Caucasian does not really love the Chinaman; the Japanese is not really wrapped up in his esteem for the East Indian; in the actual adjustment of racial relations in a world sense, nobody seems to really care for the African. Selfishness in human nature is just as apparent today as it ever was, and races prey upon one another's rights and interests just as far as human tranquility and the world's peace will allow, and warlike breaks come when yokes grow heavy and begin to chafe. This is the outlook in a general way. The relations of the white and colored races in the United States are a special incident in the world's sociology and they create a special problem. If Christianity is solving this problem, the fact is not clearly demonstrated. The Jew and the Gentile dwell together on better relations than those existing between races of opposite complexions. The silent conflict between white and black changes in character but grows scarcely less poignant. We often fear that to teach contentment and submission under prevailing conditions does not make the future of the black race a fund of glowing promise. DISSECTING KENTUCKY LAW. THE comment of the white press of the country on the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States upholding the Kentucky law, which makes it a crime to teach white and colored pupils in the same institution, shows that sentiment in the North at least is not in accord with the judgment of the court; and while the judgment of the court cannot be relieved of its ill effects or otherwise affected by the comment of a clearer-minded press, the honor of a free people can be saved in a measure by this more honest treatment of a constitutional fact. The majority decision of the court was based upon the following brief declaration: "We need concern ourselves only with the inquiry whether the first section of the Kentucky law can be upheld as coming within the power of a state over its own corporate creatures. We are of opinion that it does come within that power." In other words, a state, because it creates and charters a corporate body, absolutely controls and therefore may limit the liberties of that corporate body to any extent, without fear of conflict with any provision of the constitution of the United States. But such a decision does not define the liability of an individual or a private institution who or which might conduct a "mixed" school in the state of Kentucky. There is no doubt that the Kentucky law aims to cover all cases wherein the attempt shall be made to teach white and colored pupils under the same roof. The Supreme Court, by inference at least, makes a distinction between the powers and liberties of individuals and those of corporations created by the state. If this is the case, it will require still further litigation to decide whether all schools in Kentucky, private as well as corporate, must obey the Kentucky statute. Berea College, the appellant in this case, must now confine its facilities to either white or colored students exclusively or surrender its corporate charter. If it could successfully conduct its work without corporate form it would be interesting to watch the effect of such an attempt in face of the statute. It would be just as interesting to see some private school take up and follow the Berea policies without being subject to the criminal liabilities imposed under a Kentucky charter.

Women Benefit by Moderate Use of Tobacco By DR. RACHEL SKIDELSKY. Noted Philadelphia Physician. [Black and white illustration of a young boy with glasses, wearing a scarf and a hat.] I feel sure that tobacco, if pure and properly used, might be beneficial to women. It is known to be valuable in functional disorders of the nerves. As men find it valuable to soothe their nerves in the midst of cares and worries, I do not see why women, whose worries are more numerous and whose nervous organizations are more delicate, should not find benefit in its proper use also. I think that if a woman would sit down for five minutes before beginning her day and give the time to a cigarette she would be able to plan better her day's work. And five minutes thus used three times daily would, I think, be of much benefit to her. Of course, I recommend the practice only to such as are in no danger of becoming addicted to the more extended use of cigarettes. It would depend upon how and where it was done. Were a woman to use a cigarette with the same feeling that she uses other medicine all would be well, otherwise it would be distasteful. I would not sanction at all a woman smoking a cigarette in public or for bravado merely. With men and women alike, tobacco, like any other sedative, can become a violent poison when used to excess. It is this knowledge which keeps physicians generally from advising the use of tobacco for their women patients. Aside from its value as a sedative, tobacco smoke has been praised by men who have made a study of its effects as a valuable disinfectant for the nasal and respiratory tracts. Hay smoke has the same effect in destroying germs which may lodge there. Inhalation, I think, always would have ill effects. I speak from the general knowledge which every physician possesses. One prominent member of the Philadelphia County Medical society gave this knowledge as the reason why, in certain nervous disorders, he advised his patients to smoke good tobacco in moderation. I am afraid, however, that many of them would not be so frank as I am, in view of the widely spread prejudice among certain people against tobacco in any form. As a nerve sedative I regard tobacco as valuable alike to men and women. As to the manner and conditions and extent of its use—that is another matter entirely. For ages men have found relief from petty worries, rest for worn nerves and general physical benefit in the moderate use of tobacco. We should probably hear less of the loudly proclaimed nervousness of the American woman were she to devote five minutes three times a day to a cigarette or two, preferably after meals. The smoking habit would be as difficult to stop as the breathing habit. Let us all awake to the belief that the laws of health are the laws of God, as binding on us as if they had been thundered forth from Sinai; that if those which are now known with certainty were applied in practice, the improvement in human life, morality and happiness would be stupendous; that they should be the first and paramount subject of instruction by precept, habit and example in every school and in every home, and gradually but ultimately a code religiously observed in mills and shops and offices. Teach Health Laws in Schools By DR. HEALY H. ALMOND. Many years ago I was a member of a school board. I ventured to propose regular open air drill for the children. I remember how the chairman, with a benevolent smile, suggested that we pass on to some practical business. Something of the same sort happened when I once complained of the fine assortment of evil gases and human exhalations in one school where the master was smitten with a fear of "drafts," and preserved each day's air carefully for use on the next. In these particular directions, indeed, things are a little better now. But the main position of the enemy, where he grandly stands at bay, remains nearly as strong as ever. Let marks be given freely for tests of vision and hearing, for strength of grip, for doing a long walk, say 25 miles, go as you please, in creditable time, and for a foot steeplechase or obstacle race, and marking here also by time. Nor do I see why marks should not be given also for boxing and gymnastics. Such reforms would not only fit pupils for pursuits in which strength and activity are directly useful, but also would enable them to withstand the severe strain of modern city life far better than an excess of study. The brain even of the future professor is more likely to be sound and masculine if it is supplied with blood from capacious lungs and a brisk circulation; and after all we cannot all be professors or devoted to research. My own belief is that not more than six hours per diem should be devoted to sedentary work in schools, and certainly not more than one and a half in winter and two and a half in summer to games. The rest of the time should be largely occupied with military drill, with work in the gymnasiums, in the workshops, at targets, in various kinds of manual labor, or in singing—an excellent exercise for the lungs—or in playing musical instruments. Wonders of the Voice By J. MOUNT BLEYER, M. D., Consulting Physician Metropolitan Opera House, N. Y. A great voice is a gift, and not even its possessor can tell whence it comes or how it is constructed. The singer finds that she is born with this wonderful machine, and must then learn how to use it. Tetrazzini has the wonderful formation of the larynx and the cords which make for a superb voice, but she also has a method. This getting up some morning and discovering that you are a singer is veriest nonsense. The woman may be born with the vocal cords or strings, but something besides strings are needed, notably the brain with which to control the proper muscles with which to produce the proper tones.

Johnson of 2660 Lawrence street, passed another mile-stone of his life last evening and in honor of the same his wife tendered him a smoker to which many of his friends were present to help make it a great jollification. The repast was of a nature that goes to make up a very sumptuous spread and to say that all had a jolly good time would be putting it mildly. There was a royal Thanksgiving dinner at the residence of Mrs. Lucy M. Brown, 1823 Humboldt street, John S. Smith acting as host. It was in honor of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Harris. The dining room was very tastefully decorated with ferns and various potted flowers, while the bill of fare was very excellent. Miss Emma Smith rendered some choice musical selections and the happy event was closed by a solo "School Boys," by Baby Agnes Brown. J. B. Wilson celebrated his birthday anniversary last Monday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Connell, 729 South Tremont street. As it was a stag affair, it is needless to try to tell just what kind of a time was had by those who shared with Mr. Wilson in celebrating the event. There was nothing lacking in the makeup of the menu, nor was there anything short in the decorations of the parlors and table in which flowers were profusely used. Funny stories, jokes and songs made the occasion a live one. Among those present were: Messrs. S. A. Bondurant, George A. McCullough, Don Reeves, Ed Hamilton, N. Skilledn, Thomas Campbell, Chester Connell, Jos. D. D. Rivers. The J. M. Johnson's Mighty Minstrels at East Turner hall last Thursday night were an attraction that drew a big house and kept the large audience in an uproar of laughter. Every character seemed to vie with each other in their superb talent and thus made everybody happy. A notable feature of the entertainment was the appearance of many new faces in the fun-making line, all of whom did justice to their profession. Mr. Johnson, the sole proprietor, as well as Mr. Edward L. Howard, the stage manager, and comedian, deserves a big slice of credit for the presentation of the entertainment. The cakewalk was extremely interesting and brought forth rounds of applause as a stamp of approval and enjoyment. The Self Improvement Club met Monday evening at the residence of Mrs. Carson, 1625 East Twenty-fourth avenue.

Delicacy That May Very Easily Be Made at Home. This is so nice to use with mince meat or in fruit puddings, and it can be made at home so reasonably that it will pay the housewife if she has time to prepare it now. Cut oranges in half and scoop cut all the pulp, or if the rinds of peeled oranges are to be used, keep in as good shape as possible. Put the rinds into a basin, cover with lightly salted water, and let them soak for a week. At the end of that time drain and put into a stew pan containing a thin sirup made with two pounds of sugar to every two quarts of water. Boil half an hour. In another sauce pan have a sirup made from two pounds of sugar and a cup of water, and cook over the fire until a thick sirup. Put the rinds into this thick sirup and cook until the sugar candies on them. Take out, put on a sieve laid on a platter to save all the sirup that might drip, and dry in a coolish oven. When quite dry put in wide mouthed bottles or glass cans and fasten securely. Child's Bib. An excellent way for making children's bibs, and one that fully answers the purpose, is made by using the regular yoke pattern, cutting the back deep enough so that a narrow piece of the goods comes under the arm. Instead of the same depth yoke in front, cut the material as long as the child's dress, rounding the goods at the side if you prefer. Join the back yoke to the front piece; cut the sleeves, and sew in; face the yoke, neck and sides with bias strips of the material. Two buttons will be sufficient for the back. When finished you will have a bib that not only entirely covers the front of the child's dress, but also protects the sleeves. Fruit Punch. Into a large bowl put one heaping cup of medium dark brown sugar, and pour over this two cups of rather strong hot tea. Let this stand until the sirup is perfectly cold. Add to this one cup of orange juice, one cup of lemon juice, a small can of preserved strawberries, a small can of shredded pineapple and a bottle of cherries. Mix the fruit and the sirup well. Into the punch bowl from which it is to be served put a large block of ice and then add the mixed fruit. Now open two bottles of ginger ale and pour into it, then two or three large bottles of pollinaris water. Mix well and serve. If not sweet enough, add more sugar to suit the taste. Cheese Straws. Chop two tablespoons of butter into one cup of flour, mix in one saltspoon of cayenne, one-half teaspoon salt. Roll and fold in one cup grated cheese. Wet with cold water to a stiff paste. Roll out thin, cut into strips one-quarter inch wide by six inches long and bake until brown. When cold die them into bundles with a narrow ribbon or pile on a platter log cabin style, or roll and cut into strips four inches long and cut rings out of some of the pastry, put strips in rings after baked. These are excellent to serve with soups or salad. Blitz Kuchen. One cup sugar (granulated), one heaping iron spoon butter, three eggs beaten separately, one lemon, juice and grated rind, one tablespoon water, one pint sifted flour (scant), one heaping teaspoon baking powder, one fourth pound blanched almonds, cut fine; one half cup granulated sugar into which one teaspoonful of cinnamon has been mixed. Pour mixture into long greased pan and cover with sugar, cinnamon, and almonds. This is fine and much like coffee bread. To Teach Child Knitting. Make a ball of bright worsted, new, of the ends that have accumulated, knotted. Begin to wind, covering small playthings, balls, tiny animals, candy hearts, anything a child would fancy, in the winding. When finished cast on the stitches for two needle knitting and teach your little one, boy or girl, to knit. You will be surprised over the amount of pleasure this simple thing will afford. Bachelor's Buttons. These delicious little cakes are made by rubbing two ounces of butter into five ounces of flour; add five ounces of sugar; beat one egg with half the sugar, then put it in the other ingredients; add almond flavoring according to taste; roll them in the hand about the size of a large nut, sprinkle with white sugar, and place them on tins with buttered paper. Should be lightly baked. When Using the Broiler. In using the broiler the housekeeper often is troubled by the fat drippings catching fire, causing confusion and delay, not to mention injury to steak. To overcome this take one of the oven shelves and slide in, in place of broiler, on which place meat. Set regular broiler or pan near the bottom of broiling oven, hereby catching the grease, and yet removing it to safe distance. Onion Sandwiches Take one cup of chopped onion and cover with strong salt water. Let stand three hours, drain and mix with a good mayonnaise dressing. Butter thin slices of bread and put a generous supply of the onion between. Camphor Ice. Two ounces of lard or nice motton tallow, the same of spermacetti, one ounce of white wax, one-half ounce of camphor gum, one-quarter ounce of glycerine. Melt all together with as little heat as possible. When you want a fine High Grade Cigar Smoke "OldNobility" 3 for 25c. 10c and 2 for 25c 10 Sizes The Bxter Cigar Con Denver.

Stuff with wadding, and tie at each end. Cut one end in a point for the tail. Leave the other end wide and square for the head. Sew shoe buttons on circles of yellow cloth outlined with black, for eyes. Attach the owls to a twig.

Take a piece of writing paper, roll it into a stiff roll, fasten one end to a twig and paste the other end at the back of the star. The star may then be arranged at the top of the tree. A new idea for a Christmas table is a Jack Horner bell. It may be hung from the chandelier by a splashing bow of scarlet ribbon. The bell is made of red tissue paper, the bottom of which is securely pasted over with stour paper. Scarlet ribbons are stretched from the bell to the plates, and at a signal from the hostess, given by the tinkling of a little invisible bell, the ribbons are pulled and on the end of each is a souvenir. ily. An effect of plumage is gained by using dark water colors, marking all over the body. Jewel Cabinet. An ingenious little article is a jewel basket, made of a square box, fitted with pill box drawers, each having a passe partout ring for a handle. It is covered with pink or blue silk and is a dainty accessory for a dressing table. Snap-Shot Album. This is made of heavy gray paper, with covers of gray cardboard or of SNAP SHOTS soft leather. It may be ornamented with any suitable quotation. Twine holders are circular boxes covered with leather or linen, in deep colors. Little match boxes that are very charming for men's tables are made of the ordinary match boxes that come by the dozen, with a piece of stiffened velvet and a little gold paint along the edges, folded about it and glued in place to represent a little velvet book. DRESSING THE CHRISTMAS TREE An Occasion of Great Joy for Both Young and Old. The happiest and most exciting time at Christmas for young and old is when the tree beams forth in all its glory and splendor. There is great pleasure for the elders in dressing it in its gayest raiment. If the full beauty is to be brought out it should be kept until night. It is said that 150,000 Christmas trees will be brought into the American market. Hemlock, cedar, pine and spruce are all good for the purpose. The base can be covered with cotton batting sprinkled with diamond dust, and every branch may be laden down with the same artificial snow. Incandescent electric lights are becoming more popular each year as they are safer. However, many prefer the twinkling of the candles. Colored balls and tinsel are draped from every branch, and gayly dressed dolls and toys of all sorts sway in the air. Then there must be cornucopias of red and gold, filled with candy. The largest presents and mysterious packages can be heaped around the foot of the tree. Every package should be wrapped in white paper and tied with brilliant red ribbon. Many dollars are spent each year for elaborate decorations, but many attractive and effective ornaments may be made at home, such as strings of popcorn, cranberries, gilded and silver nuts, paper flowers, etc., which all add to the splendor of the Christmas tree. Doing Up the Gifts. A new way of doing up gifts which will please all, and particularly delight the children, is to use white tissue paper for wrappers, and, instead of tying with ribbon, fasten the paper in place by using small seals over the edges where they are folded down. The seals come specially for the purpose and are decorated with tiny sprays of holly. If you are sending off a Christmas box put a layer of white tissue paper or white cotton on top of the packages and over this sprigs of holly or mistletoe. Let Children Make Cards. Have a large box at hand to drop in pictures, fancy papers, scraps of ribbon, and so on to give the children to make Christmas cards. You will be surprised at their ingenuity.

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. NINETY-EIGHT FEET SHY.

"Some two months ago I had a humor break out on my limbs below my knees. They came to look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no one knows how they itched and burned. They were so swollen that I could not get my shoes on for a week or more. I used five or six different remedies and got no help, only when applying them the burning was worse and the itching less. For two or three weeks the suffering was intense and during that time I did not sleep an hour at a time. Then one morning I tried a bit of Cuticura. From the moment it touched me the itching was gone and I have not felt a bit of it since. The swelling went down and in two days I had my shoes on and was about as usual. George B. Farley, 50 South State St, Concord, N. H., May 14, 1907." Conscience. A man who does not use his conscience often has terrible paroxysms of it; but a man who uses it all the time never comes into what is called a state of conscience. It comes on him as dew on flowers, and falls on him gently as rain on the ground. He is full of conscience, but it is not concentrated at any single point. It is distributed through the brain, the nerves, the muscles and the skin. It is in every part of him. It pervades his life. It does not, therefore, rise up into a freshet.—Henry Ward Beecher. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal removal. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally and is administered to the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription, used with the best pumps and with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in the treatment of catarrh. F. J. CHENEY & CO. Props. Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists, price 75c.

The new Coliseum just being completed at the Union Stock Yards in Denver is to be known as "The National Amphitheater." This is to distinguish it from the International Amphitheater in Chicago. The new Denver building is to be formally opened to the public with the big National Stock Show and Horse Fair during the week of January 18. This event has grown to be one of the big stock show events of the country and will attract thousands of people to Denver from all parts of the country. The new building, now nearing completion, will cost complete about $200,000. It is oval in shape and contains seating capacity for over 6,000 people with standing room for as many more. The seats surround a large arena wherein the stock can be shown. There are sixty private boxes and the seating arrangements are nearly perfect. The building is steam heated and lighted by flaming arc lamps and will be as light as day at night. The International Amphitheater was the first of this class of buildings erected in this country. The second was at Fort Worth, Texas, and Denver will have the only other and the largest of all. It is expected to be a great addition to the amusement facilities of Denver. The big National Stock Show to be given by the Western Stock Show Association, was the immediate cause of the erection of this new building. During the week of January 18th, the new building will be used day and evening with a great exhibition of live stock with horse fair and show every evening. This great show will bring stockmen to Colorado from all parts of the country and is expected to be a regular annual event. The occasion will also be made an opportunity for public sales of all kinds of live stock and the best the world affords will be on exhibition and sale during the week. The completion of this new building, which has been built by the Denver Union Stock Yards Company, emphasizes the fact that Denver is an active competitor for the live stock business of the West. It is predicted that within a few years the Denver live stock market will be second only to that at Chicago. The business of the yards is increasing at an enormous rate. PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION REPORTS RAPID PROGRESS The annual report of Lieut. Col. G. W. Goethals, chief engineer of the isthmian canal commission, gives in detail the progress of the work on the interocean waterway. The report says, in part: "The membership of the commission continued without change during the year. Early in June Mr. Jackson Smith tendered his resignation, effective Sept. 15, 1908, and entered upon a twomonths' leave of absence, beginning July 15th. Lieut Col. H. F. Hodges, corps of engineers, U. S. A., was appointed to succeed him, and was assigned to duty under the commission during the interim; he reported for duty on the isthmus July 14, 1908. "The executive order of Jan. 6, 1908, combined several existing orders and defined the duties of the commission more clearly, transferring to the chairman certain details which the order that it superseded had delegated to the commission. "The organization of the department of construction and engineering is given in detail in the last annual report of the commission, and the several departments and divisions therein outlined were continued throughout the year, except that in consequence of the change in the location of the locks on the Pacific side, the Pacific division of locks and dams was substituted for the La Boca locks and the La Boca dams division. Briefly, the department of construction and engineering consisted of three departments and twelve divisions; each division had its independent administrative organization and reported through the head of the department to which it belonged. "Under the organization as it existed buildings were erected, roads built and sanitary ditches dug or constructed in the same territory in which canal work was in progress, but in each specific instance, under a separate head; the results were not always satisfactory. In order to concentrate authority, to expedite the transaction of business, to secure proper co-ordination, to fix definitely the responsibility in any particular case, and to reduce the cost of administration, a complete reorganization was undertaken toward the close of the fiscal year, to be effected gradually, beginning July 1st, by which all con- Threshing Pine Cones Glenwood Springs, Colo.—The office of the Holy Cross forest reserve in this city for the past few days has had the appearance of a threshing floor rather than a place for clerical work. The officers are engaged in threshing seed from pine cones. About 100 bushels of the cones have been collected and the yield is about one pound of seed to each bushel of cones. The seed is to be distributed over the reserve to start reforestation. struction work, in any given district, irrespective of its character, would be placed under one head, the necessary authority having been received from the Secretary of War for the transfer of duties as between departments, required by executive order of Jan. 6, 1908. The reorganization was desirable because the work of the divisions of building construction and municipal engineering had reached a stage where the continuance of separate divisions for handling the work was unwarranted, and was facilitated by the consent and approval of the chief sanitary officer to have the sanitary engineering work hitherto performed by his department done by the canal construction forces in accordance with plans and on data prescribed and furnished by the department of sanitation. "A further advantage sought by the reorganization was the establishment of a more uniform wage scale, and to secure it the organization was put on an impersonal basis by fixing the positions needed to properly execute the work and the salary that each position should carry. To the positions thus found necessary the available personnel was fitted so far as possible. "To accomplish the objects sought, the zone was divided into three parts, each of which is to constitute a division under the department of construction and engineering, the division engineers reporting direct to the chief engineer. The first is to include all territory north of Tabernilla, to be designated the Atlantic division; the second is to extend from Tabernilla to Pedro Miguel, to be named the central division, and the third, extending from Pedro Miguel to deep water in the Pacific, will constitute the Pacific division. As the reorganization is not complete at this time, its details must be left for the next annual report." The report shows great progress in excavation and construction on the canal itself and advances in the provisions for sanitation and protection of the towns in the canal zone. School buildings were erected at ten places in the zone. The general health conditions have been greatly improved, the death rate being less than half that of the previous year. Beaver Pond in Denver. The Beaver colony in the City Park at Denver will be permitted to construct a dam and make their own pond. A covered concrete home will be built for them, with an underground passageway leading to their pond. The pond, though surrounded by concrete walls so that the beavers cannot dig their way out, will be provided with plenty of earth, together with logs and branches of trees for them to build with. Water will be kept running through the pond constantly. SEEMED WORSE EVERY DAY. A Dangerous Case of Kidney Complaint and How It Was Checked. Mrs. Lucy Quebeck, Mechanic St. Hope Valley, R.

The least pressure on my back tortured me, and I could not stoop without a bad twinge. The kidney secretions passed irregularly with pain, and I bloated badly.

When Disease Will Disappear At the reopening of a medical school in London recently Sir John Broadbent, in an address to the students, said that he looked forward "to some Utopian era when such diseases as influenza, pneumonia, measles, scarlet fever and the like will become more or less extinct as a result of proper ventilation of offices, shops, public buildings and private houses, and other sanitary measures, such as the avoidance of overcrowding, the abolition of children's parties and the habit of indiscriminate kissing. The last should not be a hardship." Sir John added, if we accept the schoolboy's definition of a kiss: "It is just putting your mouth to a person's cheek and drawing in your breath, so as to make a little noise, which is not bad, but it does nothing in the way of helping you to love the person."

"Never a blow of the whip. That would drive them mad with rage and humiliation. "Animals, like children, must be kindly treated. A blow spoils all." "But as regards children, you know," the reporter objected, "didn't Solomon say: 'Spare the rod and spoil the child?'"

The truth will appear. "Six years ago I was in a very bad condition," writes a Tenn. lady, "I suffered from indigestion, nervousness and insomnia. "I was then an inveterate coffee drinker, but it was long before I could be persuaded that it was coffee that hurt me. Finally I decided to leave it off a few days and find out the truth. "The first morning I left off coffee I had a raging headache, so I decided I must have something to take the place of coffee." (The headache was caused by the reaction of the coffee drug—caffeine.) "Having heard of Postum through a friend who used it, I bought a package and tried it. I did not like it at first but after I learned how to make it right, according to directions on pkg., I would not change back to coffee for anything. "When I began to use Postum I weighed only 117 lbs. Now I weigh 170 and as I have not taken any tonic in that time I can only attribute my recovery of good health to the use of Postum in place of coffee.

Means a Variety of Wraps to Match Similar Variety of Dresses—Some Suggestions for Remodeling a Gown. After a reign of nearly a decade the separate skirt is forced into retirement, the independent blouse is tossed into the discard. From the jumble of fall fashions, the one-piece costume, with a practically unbroken line from the shoulder to hem, has emerged triumphant. The well-gowned woman of the moment builds her wardrobe almost ex- THE LADY'S DRESS clusively from one-piece costume, with matching or harmonious wraps. This is not an economical change by any means, for there has never been a style so altogether pleasing to the thrifty woman as the tailored or semi-tailored suit with its various separate blouses. Wraps are always an expensive item in the fall and winter wardrobe, and with a variety of one- Beneficial for Those Physically Able to Take Them. Not everyone is strong enough to stand a shower bath, but when taken properly it has a tonic effect. The best test whether it is beneficial or harmful is whether one is in a glow afterwards or feels creepy for several hours. The shock is not good for anyone with a weak heart, and no one who is not well should use a shower except by the advice of a physician. As a rule, the best time for a cold shower is on rising in the morning; the system is strongest then. Do not stay under the shower too long, a minute is quite long enough, unless one has exceptional strength. It is well to prepare for the cold shower by dashing cold water on you first or by taking a tepid shower and gradually getting it colder. Never take a cold shower when chilly. The cold feeling is a sign that your physical condition is not up to the mark. Follow a shower by hard rubbing and by a few physical exercises. Some women go back to bed for five minutes after the bath before dressing. The rest overcomes any shock from the cold water. Do not stoop forward unduly in taking a shower. It is not good for the spine to receive the first shock of cold at the base of the brain or between the shoulders. Is to Be Much Affected for Both Hats and Costumes. Women are in for a season of old gold as the primal color scheme for costumes. It will not be confined to indoor wear, but will be flaunted at every hour on the street. It is an unwise choice for the woman with a limited purse who can only afford one good-looking coat suit, but the woman who has more than one and can discard it when the season is over is going in for an old-gold costume. The prettiest street use of this color is for hats. There is one designed by a man milliner who does most attractive things in head gear that will have many imitators. It is of old-gold plush or long-haired beaver in modified directoire style. Neither the crown nor the brim is too large and the hat drops well down over the head. The entire crown and half of the brim are covered with a fascinating arrangement of old gold and brown ivy leaves turned into color by the frost of autumn. To offset all this wealth of old gold piece costumes, a similar variety of wraps is almost essential. The semi-tailored costume should come first in every woman's plans, certainly in those of the woman who has much shopping to do, or who goes to business each day. The latest demand of Dame Fashion along this line is for the princess creation in medium weight cloth, especially rich colorings with fine hair stripes of black or deeper hue, made with bias bands of satin or with silk braid and a chemisette and half-sleeves of net, either dyed to match the fabric in the costume or of ecru, cream or white. This princess gown is apt to have a girdle of self-tone silk or soft satin, built high to simulate the popular, short-waisted effect, and with it will be worn a long, semi-fitted coat, with rather a short waist line in the back at least. Most of these coats have long skirts cut in deep points, and the really smart ones for hard wear show little trimming beyond the silk braid or satin bands. With such a costume or suit is worn a hat of beaver, satin or felt, trimmed with breasts and wings, never ostrich tips. A popular trimming for tailored satin hats is the aigrette, and aigrettes sufficient to encircle one of the new satin shapes will cost all of $25. Stunning breasts and wings in shaded effects to harmonize with all the new shades of cloth can be had at much lower prices and are far more durable. Suggestions for remodeling a gown: Perhaps you have a long-plaited skirt left from last year with some odd pieces of the material which was not used. Rip up the skirt and, after sponging and pressing, cut out as economically as possible one of the new mounted skirts. With the pieces left from the skirt, which will be not a few if you use a narrow skirt pattern, you can fashion the parts of this bodice which should match the skirt, then with the aid of a messaline girdle in self-tone, messaline bands, a little soutache braid and net or all-over lace, you can evolve a matching blouse so harmonious that the costume complete will simulate one of the new one-piece gowns. These self-tone girdles and sashes, as well as the nets dyed to match the cloth or silk in the gown, are first aids to home dressmakers, bent on remodeling gowns. A choice bit of millinery is shown in the above cut. The attractive shape is a rich shade of olive green with a band of velvet a shade darker edging the under brim. On top there is a chic arrangement of richly colored velvet dahlias with foliage of natural shadings, which almost entirely covers the medium-high crown. Cleaning French Gloves. This excellent cleanser is used principally for the medium shades of kid gloves. It is as follows: Gum tragacanth, one-half ounce; white castle soap, one ounce; rose water, one pint, and tincture of musk, ten drops. there is a careless bow of brilliant sapphire velvet ribbon tucked in the leaves just in front. Comfort for the Cold Fearer. The mother who persists in dressing her children in heavy clothes will not be as pleased as will her daughter to hear that physicians are attributing the lessening susceptibility of our women to colds to unlined lingerie waists and cutaway coats. Each winter there are more and more summer frocks and blouses worn, while the low collars of last season seemed direct pneumonia breeders to the old-fashioned mother. Toys of Glass So far have we gone in the hygiene of the nursery that we will now present children with toys of glass instead of painted wood. The glass is so thick that it is barely possible that a child could break it. They are invented to keep a child from sucking the paint off wooden toys, but they are not inexpensive. Utilizing the Mattress Cover. When discarding or making over an old mattress, do not throw away the ticking. Make arrangements with the man who does the work to return the cover.

To Remove Scratches from Polished Furniture—Cleaning Mother-of-Pearl Bric-a-brac—Comfortable Position for Sewing. A scratch on polished furniture can be almost obliterated by rubbing vigorously with lin- COFFEE CABINET If an iron is not at hand when marking clothes with indelible ink, hold the writing against a lighted lamp chimney or gas globe. Garments that are to be hung out to air can be put on hangers, rather than pinned to the line. This prevents sagging or marking with clothes-pins. Bric-a-brac containing mother-of-pearl should never be cleaned with soap and water. Instead, it should be rubbed with a cloth dipped into whiting and water. If, when using lemon for flavoring, you need only half a one, put the other half on a plate and cover with a glass tumbler. This excludes the air and prevents it from drying up or getting moldy. If some of your country friends have sent you a box of flowers that are the worse for a journey, do not throw half of them out before plunging the stems in hot water in which has been put a few drops of ammonia. Let the flowers stand in hot water for about five minutes, then cut the ends of the stems and put them in cold water. The blossoms and leaves will be found to be wonderfully revived. Hair brushes should be cleansed always once a week, if not oftener. Men, especially, are apt to neglect this duty, not from untidiness, but because they have no time to think about it. I know of one mother who gathers up the combs and brushes of her four sons regularly once a week and washes them in borax and water. A dessertspoonful of borax to a quart of hot water, she tells me, is the correct proportion. The brushes should always be rinsed afterward in clear water and if possible set to dry in the sun. Steam heat is apt to injure the backs. A woman who sews a great deal of the time has found that her back does not become so tired if her chair is low, or if she has a stool upon which to rest her feet. It is surprising what a difference the comfortable position makes and how much more work she can do. Should the arms become weary she puts a cushion in her lap. On this she rests her elbows, changing the position of her sewing, thus giving both arms and eyes a chance to recover. Benzine is also good to clean the keys of a piano, but denatured alcohol is quite as satisfactory, and much cheaper, besides not having a disagreeable odor. Make the rag just damp enough to remove the soil, when too wet it runs into the cracks and injures the wires. Spinach and Hot Water. If housewives and cooks would only remember to wash spinach in scalding water, they would not only get it much cleaner, but kill all insects and worms which may happen to be clinging to the under part of the leaves. Also the process is a much quicker one than when cold water is used, and the spinach itself takes on a fresh greenness that is unexpected considering the temperature of the water. It should not, however, be washed until immediately before putting into the saucepan. Six tablespoons melted lard and 3 tablespoons warm water, a good pinch of salt, flour enough to make a stiff dough. Take one-half of the mixture for lower crust, then roll out top crust, spread with melted lard. Sift a very little flour over top. Before putting in the oven cut a slit in the top crust, put it under faucet and wet with cold water. This makes the crust flaky. This recipe will make one pie. Carrot Pie. Sift two cups of stewed carrots, add one and one-half cups boiling milk, one cup sugar, one-half teaspoon salt, one teaspoon cinnamon, one teaspoon cloves, one-half teaspoon ginger, and two eggs, beaten lightly. Mix in order given. Line pie tin with paste, put on rim, fill with the above mixture and bake in moderate oven. This is an excellent substitute for squash pie. Celery Tops. In the winter, when celery is plentiful, one housekeeper cuts off the leaves and light green ends and puts the leaves into a pasteboard box to dry. When dry she packs them in a glass jar to be ready to use for flavoring soups and dressings later on. Cleaning Engravings Cleaning Engravings: When houses are being refurbished this autumn it might be well to know that yellow stains on the margins of engravings may be removed by sponging with a solution of hydrochloride of soda. Best China. Maids should be periodically cautioned not to allow too hot water to be used with gold decorated china. Soap should be used sparingly. Rinse thoroughly.
