Attracting Great Interest. VOL. XV, TANNER EXH Draws Throngs of Art Lovers. "C Return of the Holy Woman Good Shepherd." At Henry O. Tanner, the great Afro-American artist, is an American painter far better known in Paris than in his own country, mainly because he had never held an exhibition of his pictures here and the present one of religious patitions which has just opened at the American Art Galleries, in Madison Square South. The exhibition will laat for ten days. Since the opening day great numbers of people have thronged the gallery. Mr. Tanner was a pupil of Benjamin Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens. Two of his pictures were purchased by the French government and are in Luxembourg. The Pennsylvania academy of fine arts in Philadelphia, where Mr. Tanner commenced his art education, the Carnegie institute at Pittsburg and the art institute of Chicago each own one of his pictures. All of Mr. Tanner's subjects are religious. As Harrison S. Morris says of him in the introduction to the catalogue, "He has quietly followed his instinct for beauty, and employed it in the interpretation of the primitive characters and happenings of the Bible." That "instinct for beauty" shows itself especially in Mr. Tanner's moonlight scenes. When the artist visited Palestine he found that by day the scenery lacked atmosphere as the scenery of our western plains does; that its color was crude and hard, exactly as Holman Hunt painted it in "The Scapegoat," so he only painted it by night. "The Good Shepherd" is one of these moonlight subjects. Between two olive trees with gnarled trunks, the Shepherd comes with his flock. You see the dark forms of a man and of sheep emerging from a mysterious light with which the back of the picture is flooded. The picture is most impressive, and the quality of the paint is remarkable. "The Wise Men," "Abraham's Oak," under which tradition says an angel visited the patriarch: "Christ on the Road to Bethany," and "The Flight Into Egypt," all have the same quality, the same impressive beauty. "The Return of the Holy Woman," with Calvary in the distance, is even more sensitive than the rest. It is so intensely silent. Each one of these pictures is stamped the work of a religious poet. In "Christ and Nicodemus," which belongs to the Pennsylvania academy the Pharisee is visiting Jesus by night on the house-top. The artist has made the figures human, the scene as it probably happened, and he helps one to appreciate how the conversation took place. And so it is with all Mr. Tanner's pictures. They bring the stories of the Bible down to earth, they are told dramatically, but not theatrically; simply, but enriched with great beauty of sentiment and color.—National Review. A NEGRO REMEMBERS NAPOLEON London, December, 28.—Eighty-seven years have passed since the death of Napoleon. Is there anybody now alive who remembers having seen him? Only one, per haps—a venerable Negro of 95, an interview with whom is published in a recent issue of the St. Helena Guardian. This Negro, a native of the Congo, was kidnapped in childhood, taken to St. Paul de Loanda, and placed on board a slave ship, bound he knew not whither. When four or five days out at sea, the slaver was captured by a British man-of-war and taken to St. Helena. A gentleman who lived near Longwood, the residence of the exile emperor, took the black boy into the household. One day he was with a man who was rounding up some horses when the man suddenly exclaimed: "Look over there!" The boy looked, and saw a short stout man in a long coat with his hands behind his back, watching the movements of the horses. "That is the great Napoleon," said the man to the boy; he is a here." DENVER, COLORADO. SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1909. ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing The RADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, DELIVERING THE GOODS Two weeks ago, we published a partial list of the patronage given by the Republican party to the Negroes of Colorado. We did this with the hope that the spirit of generosity would move the mossback Democrat, and a reasonable portion of the good things of Democratic victory would be shared with the Colored brother, who helped win the battle. "To the victor belongs the spoils," but the spoils should be equally divided. In this day and generation, politics like everything else has become greatly commercialized. The political party to retain itself in power must "deliver the goods," in the form of an administration in the interest of all the people. The political worker to be entitled to a share in the spoils of party success, must "deliver the goods." In the appointment given for services rendered, the appointee must be able to "deliver the goods." It is peculiar that in no other political element, are leaders chosen and appointments made without consulting the voters, except the Negro. Our people are just now realizing that in all things, they must "deliver the goods." Give value received. With this fixed in the minds of our people the day when the other fellow selects our leaders and representatives is gone. Regardless of political parties, the Negro must see to it that the VERY BEST of his race is put forward to represent him. In the busy whirl of a campaign, many men assume commanding positions, that result materially in the final victory, but they are not always competent for position requiring great skill and special training. The Democrats have been helped to a great victory in Colorado by some Negro votes The Negroes have delivered the goods. They fought honestly and consistently for the party of their choice. In many instances forfeiting their friends and the good will of their neighbors. The Negro Democrat does not enjoy the fullest esteem of the fellow members of his race. Now that the Negro has contributed his share to the victory what will they do for him? Will the party leaders discriminate between the corrupt and venal striker, and the Negro of standing and credit among his people be given preference. To secure the "delivery of the goods" the Negro must stand together and demand through every reliable source that only the BEST of the race be given places. In doing this the Negro will be able to deliver the goods. He will ever be confident of those who represent him. The Negro press always stands up for the best regardless of party lines. We know that when men of our race in any line of business delivers the goods, opportunities for advancement increases. ORIGINAL IN RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES A little colored boy, Joe Smith, eight years, carried eleven little children out of a burning building in Philadelphia last week. He would look well with a Carnegie medal about his neck. Discuss the so-called Race Problem at any length, depth and breadth you choose, it resolves itself into one simple requisite, viz: treat the colored man like a man and brother. The colored "regulars" who are to come on from the Philippines this year are to be well placed. Vermont, Wyoming, Arizona, and Colorado offer nothing that will make a noise like Brownsville. If a "national testimonial" is to be given in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington, no better man than Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the Navy Department, could be selected to head the movement. William D. Neighbors & Co., Chicago, is one of the biggest and most successful real estate firms in the West. In connection with the realty business, they also conduct a building and loan association capitalized at $100,000. There are twelve building and loan associations owned and managed by the Negroes of North Carolina. They are located in Greensboro, High Point, Durham, Raleigh, Fayetteville, Wilson, Rocky Mount, Littleton, Willmington, Asheville, Newbern and Goldsboro. The fifth semi-annual statement of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company of Memphis, Tenn., shows a healthy condition of its resources since its establishment two years ago. According to the last statement, the total deposits have been $80,914.42. R. R. Church is president and Harry H. Pace casnier. Our people in Stanton, Va., are making good financially, professionally and otherwise. They are successfully conducting different kinds of mercantile enterprises. They have in their own right property worth about $1,000,000. They own one bank called the People's Dime Savings Bank and Trust Association. Samuel Lindsay is the president and Thomas E. Jackson cashier. Dorsey Rhodes, a prominent member of the Ninth Cavalry, now in the Philippines, has re enlisted and gone to the 24th Infantry at Madison Barricks, New York, where he has become a non-commissioned officer. It is said that his friends look forward to a berth as chief musician for him, as his abilities in that direction are vouched for by competent authorities. A tilt between the Prime Minister and the Perfect of Police in Paris, France, has been caused by the color question. Clemenceau had a colored portgee he desired appointed as a policeman, but Lepine, who conducts this department, refused on the ground that the man's color created so much curiosity and attracted such attention that it prevented him doing his duty. Miss Irene L. Moorman, president of the Metropolitan Women's Business Club of New York and Brooklyn, has inaugurated a movement having for its object the erection of a $50,000 hall for the accommodation of colored people as a meeting place, so as to avoid the use of churches for political, social and miscellaneous secular purposes—a commendable idea too. About $5,000 in cash has already been raised and more is in prospect. Editor Fred R. Moore, who is lending valuable assistance, wants a poolroom, bowling alley, gymnasium and reading room included in the equipment of the hall, and the committee of ladies think well of the plan, as there are but few places in the city where young colored men can go for innocent diversion. FORAKER CHIEF ATTORNEY FOR NEGRO SOLDIERS. Washington, Jan. 15.—That Senator Joseph B. Foraker's interest in the Brownsville vase is professional as well as political, is indicated by the statements of several prominent colored men who today asserted that the senator, who has constituted himself champion of the discharged colored soldiers in the Senate, will appear as chief counsel for these men as soon as his term as senator from Ohio ends. It is rumored that he is to receive a fee of $20,000 for his services as chief counsel. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church, colored, said this morning that Senator Foraker, in obtaining evidence to prosecute the charges made by the president in his curred great personal expense. "The senator has expended about $15,000 to obtain evidence to prove the innocence of colored soldiers discharged by President Roosevelt," said the colored minister, who is president of the National Political League of this city, which has a large membership throughout the country. "I don't wish to say much on the subject because I don't want to embarrass the senator in his work, es- NO.18 pecially while he is still a member of the Senate. In a few weeks he will retire from office, when his legal connection with the case and the work he is doing in the matter may be more appropriately publicly discussed. The senator cannot at this time openly appear as their legal representative, but after March 4th that restriction will no longer exist. The Constitutional League of America is working with the National Negro American Political League to bring justice to the men wrongfully accused. Within a few months Senator Foraker will make public certain facts in connection with this case which will startle the country." Rev. W. Johnson, colored, bishop of the Baptist diocese, today confirmed Rev. Waldron's statement. Senator Foraker this morning declined to discuss the subject. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLO. Mr. Jos. D. D. Rivers, Colorado Statesman, Denver, Colo. I have addressed to the Republican of Denver, a line relative to the Johnson-Burns fight, recently pulled off in the far away Pacific, commending the Republican for the lack of interest in not publishing that hog wash that is daily hashed up to the reading public, by the other Denver papers. Of all the rot this Johnson matter is the limit. If the white press would be considerate enough to give us the space, that they devote to prize-fighting, toward assisting Booker T. Washington, and other noted men of our race toward something that would be elevating, they would, I believe, be doing us an everlasting blessing. Respectfully, W. II. DUNCAN, Glenwood Springs, Colo. AGED NEGRO WRITES BOOK Henry Johnson, a Negro 80 years old, though destitute and friendless, has refused charity fearing that he may loose inspiration to write a book of reminiscences which he has begun. Amid surroundings, squalid in the extreme, in the back room of a house on McDougall street, Windor, he toils daily away with insufficient food and fire. Although he never achieved fame, the aged Negro is the author of one work, a pamphlet entitled 'Reminiscences and experience of Henry Johnson,' from the sale of which he raised enough money to return from California to his old home in Windsor a short time ago. He came back to die among the scenes of his younger days, but before dying he plans to enrich the literary world by a sequel to his former publication. An effort was made to induce the old man to go to the Home of the Friendless when he was discovered by Miss Holton, president of the board of the home, but he refused to go for fear he might lose his inspiration in other surroundings.—New York Age.

REFUSES TO RETRACT REFUSES TO RETRACT SENATE FAVORS RAISE OF PAY OF CIRCUIT AND DISTRICT JUDGES. Washington.—Consideration of proposed increases of salaries of federal judges was resumed by the Senate Thursday when the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill was taken up. By a vote of 38 to 31 the salaries of thirty-nine circuit judges were increased from $7,000 to $10,000. Later the Senate reconsidered this action, fixing the salaries of circuit judges at $9,000. The salaries of district judges were increased from $6,000 to $8,000. Combatting the idea that $50,000 is a salary within the reach of most lawyers, Mr. Bailey declared that Daniel Webster could not have made that much money. Senator Rayner of Maryland created a rustle in the Senate by commenting on the President's proposed hunting trip to Africa. "Only six weeks ago," he said, "it was announced that a great faunal naturalist was about to proceed to a distant continent in search of animals, which so far as I have been able to discover have never existed in all time. "I am not a game butcher, but I am sort of a zoologist and I know there never has been such a thing as a white rhinoceros or an ourang outang, with a nose three inches long, so far as any researches into natural history extend." "The senator should take care about the statement he is making on natural history," suggested Senator Bacon. "You may get into the Ananias club," added Senator Bailey. "Well, I am an expert in this particular," replied Mr. Rayner. "I want to say if these animals do exist there is no earthly doubt that they will be exterminated by this great faunal naturalist. I do not object to it because I think the donation of $25,000 by the Smithsonian institution to meet the expenses of that expedition will be conductive to the peace and general welfare of the nation—temporarily, at least. I hope the President will achieve new triumphs in those distant fields of combat and carnage, and when he returns I hope he will bring back to the museums and menageries of the world animals that have never yet crossed the track of any explorer." Senator Bacon, a regent of the Smithsonian institution, explained that institution had not devoted a dollar to the proposed trip of the President to Africa, but said that the money to be used had been procured from private sources. Mr. Rayner then asked for increased salaries for judges of the Federal Courts, the amendment under consideration being to increase the compensation of eighty-four district judges from $6,000 to $8,000. Mr. Tillman suggested that some of the judges were on the payrolls of corporations while they drew their salaries as judges. Mr. Bailey said he was sure Mr. Tillman would wish to recall that charge. "I simply have the suspicion, and I will not withdraw it," said Mr. Tillman. Mr. Bailey, disavowing any sympathy with the statement, said he had noticed that the corporations for twenty years had been extremely active in the appointment of federal judges. "If they are not on the payrolls," said Mr. Tillman, "they have accepted special coaches and gone about in my state. I had a good deal of experience with them in my state while I was governor." Labor Leaders Want No Pardon. Washington.—"We have not asked and will not ask for clemency and we hope our friends will not urge us to pursue such a course. To ask pardon would render useless all the trials and sacrifices which our men of labor and our friends in all walks of life have endured, that the rights and liberties of our people might be restored. Such a pardon would only leave the whole case in confusion, and it would have to be fought over again from the beginning." Such is the language of Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison in a current magazine. South Dakota Suffrage Bill. Pierre, S. D.—The equal suffrage amendment passed the Senate Thursday without debate and with but two dissenting votes. The proposed amendment is to the state constitution.

Johnson, vice president; E. M. Kirton, secretary; J. M. Shrote, assistant secretary, and L. C. Greenlee, treasurer. At the annual meeting of the Morgan County Fair Association the secretary and treasurer reported that its real estate is worth more than its capitalization of $10,000. The association has held only two fairs and each has been a decided success. Instead of declaring dividends, the policy of the directors is to improve the grounds until they are in first class condition, with buildings to accommodate all exhibits. The jury in the case of Carl Karg, the Russian who killed Mrs. Tucker near Sterling, after being out fifty-six hours, returned a verdict of murder in the second degree and recommended that the court use clemency. Mrs. Tucker, with her husband, called at the Karg home and when they knocked at the door Karg is alleged to have thrust it open and shot the woman without warning. Karg's defense was that he believed someone was trying to get in and rob him. The citizens' charter convention candidates to frame a charter for Colorado Springs were elected on the 19th inst. over the People's ticket by a vote of nearly two to one.

The other night I finished a biscuit I was eating after I went to bed and naturally left some crumbs about, not meaning to, never thinking of mice. "Well, about the middle of the night I heard scampering, and there were the mice all over my hair, trying to get at those crumbs. "I tell you, I gave one shriek, sprang up, lighted all the gas in the room and sat up the rest of the night watching that pillow." Wagner Fooled the Critics. Wagner Pooled the Critics. Here is a story of Wagner's visit to London in 1855: After the first Philharmonic concert the critics reproached him for conducting a Beethoven symphony without the score. At the second concert, to satisfy his audience, Wagner had a "partition" on his desk, which he frequently consulted. The critics declared the improvement was marked. The score, however, was Rossin's "Barbier de Seville." Inconsistency "Isn't that Jones over there—the man who writes the bitter articles about abolishing the tipping nuisance?" "Yes, that's Jones."

PRESSER, 1722 Third Ave., Moline, Ill., writes: "I have been suffering from catarrh in the head for the past two months and tried innumerable so-called remedies without avail. No one knows how I have suffered not only from the disease itself, but from mortification when in company of friends or strangers. "I have used two bottles of your medicine for a short time only, and it effected a complete medical cure, and what is better yet, the disease has not recurred." "I can most emphatically recommend Peruna to all sufferers from this disease." Read This Experience Mr. A. Thompson, Box 65, R. R. 1, Martel, Ohio, writes: "When I began your treatment my eyes were inflamed, nose was stopped up half of the time, and was sore and scabby. I could not rest at night on account of continual hawking and spitting. "I had tried several remedies and was about to give up, but thought I would try Peruna. "After I had taken about one-third of a bottle I noticed a difference. I am now completely cured, after suffering with catarrh for eighteen years. "I think if those who are afflicted with catarrh would try Peruna they would never regret it." Peruna is manufactured by the Peruna Drug Mfg. Co., Columbus, Ohio.

Raw materials are much cheaper and easier to obtain here than in the extreme eastern states. The home market for machinery and articles of all kinds is good, partly due to the patriotic spirit of the citizens to help home industry by their patronage. It is rather hard now for some of the factories to obtain skilled labor at this time, but with our boys and girls growing up and learning the different trades this difficulty will be overcome. People can live much cheaper and better in this state than they can in the eastern states on account of the lower prices of farm and garden products. By the increased home demand for these products prices will of course become higher. This is where the farmer gets his pay for patronizing home industries. DENVER DIRECTORY DENVER DIRECTORY $22 C.

"Batint far a Gospel of Health,” WHAT MAKES | GOOD BREAD bread is the oldest of prepared foods. Long before fire -was dis- covered it was quite natural to pulverize the hard grains between stones, to moisten the meal thus'made, press it into cakes and dry it in the sun, This was the original unleavened bread. Only the application of fire to cakes accidentally fermented by moisture and temperature was neces- sary to produce the modern staff of life. Good bread will, alone, support life indefinitely. Thousands of our sturdy foreign laborers maintain good health and strength chiefly on coarse bread. I had an opportunity lately to examine a Dutch laborer, about 70 years old, who said he had lived all his life on rye bread and coffee, and he was In perfect health—in spite of the coffee. Thomas Parr, an English farmer, lived more than 150 year on “coarse bread, cheese, small beer and whey.” The bread was probably rye, wheat being then used only by the wealthy. Bread has one advantage over nuts as the chief staple food—bulk. The stomach is not absolutely necessary to the digestive process; it is merely a receptacle for the mass of food taken at a meal, but has added the capacity for reducing the mass to a fine liquid before passing it on to the intestine or second stomach, where the work of digestion is completed. A German experimepter some years ago removed the stomach of a dog, after which it lived for several years, regaining most of its lost weight. The stomach has also developed the capacity for converting proteid, of which flesh, nuts and grains largely consist, into soluble peptone, the sub- stance from which all the tissues are built. The same process is continued in the intestine, if all the proteid is not broken up and made soluble in the stomach. The conversion of starch into sugar by the action of the saliva, begun in the mouth, continues in the stomach till the mass becomes scturated with the hydrochloric acid ‘Wel the gastric fluid, secreted by the Gitomach, after which any starch re- maining must run the risk of fermen- tation before its digestion is com- pleted in the intestine. Experimenters who have lived on a nut and fruit diet for short times report a “craving” for other foods; and this is the invariable experience, for a time, of those who adopt the “scientific” diet. Now a man of ma- ture years and on whose word I can rely, who has been living on the sim- ple diet for seven months, working as a merchant, full hours. informs me that this “craving” has entirely disap- peared. Another, a manufacturer, says that he now, after about three months, enjoys a meal of whole wheat bread and peanuts or of prunes as well as he formerly enjoyed, while eating, a mixed meal, and of course never regrets it afterwards, as he for- merely regretted overeating. The Italian laborer, working hard phys- ically on rye bread, ‘macaroni, garlic and beer, has no craving for oysters or pie or pork. ‘The merchant above referred to commonly had a craving, formerly, on coming home from chureh or opera late, and would eat a second supper— and suffer, If all the elements necessary for the body's nutrition are supplied, there will be no desire for some unnatural food. We know that one who is eat- ing a few slices of whole wheat, rye or corn bread and fruit at a separate meal, can not suffer for lack of any nutritive element, even if he eats no nuts or does not drink the glass of buttermilk before retiring. Oats is the richest of the cereals. It contains more fat and more min- eral salts than wheat, but its starch cells are encased in coarse cellulose fibers, so that it must be very thor- oughly cooked to make its starch di- gestible. The rolled oats are pref- erable to the steel cut. Rye contains less mineral matter than wheat, but its starch is equal to that of rice. Artificial digestive tests showed it to be 12 times more digestible than wheat starch, It fol- lows that the objections urged against fine wheat starch bread do not apply to rye bread. The starch of rye bread is practically digested beyond the dan- ger of fermentation. No doubt this explains the superior health of those who live on rye breat. The Roman gladiators were fed on rye, wheat and corn, Now, considering the peculiar fea- tures of corn, rye and wheat, it is ev- ident that a much better bread could be made from a combination of these than from either separately. Bread should be cut into slices and allowed to dry to some extent at least before being eaten. The less goft cereal food is eaten the better, Sa eM Ma ide SES Fe Se ccegeeaee sugar by dry heat, This is easily digested, being open to the action of the digestive fluids. Hence for per- sons of weak digestion it is much su- perior to fresh bread—so far as the supply of heat and muscular force is concerned only. Crackers are inferior to toast, especially if soaked in soup or other liquid. Entire wheat bread is not adapted to toasting, its albumen being already too much coagulated for the best nu- trition. Evidently cheese should not be toasted. Boiled potatoes are the better for toasting so far as the starch element is concerned, providing no fat be used. Fried potatoes are a pro- Iifie source of dietetic troubles. One may be eating sufficient albu- men, starch, fat and sugar, which con- stitute 95 per cent. or more of all solid nutriment the body needs, and yet may become weak, sickly, ineffi- cient and finally die for lack of proper nourishment. For perfect nutrition we must have in the blood, in addi- tion: Potash, sodium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, sulphur, chlorine and fluorine. Potash is essential in every part of the body, but especiaily in the brain and nerve centers. In all nerve disorders it is found to be deficient in the blood. Perhaps the quick wit of the Irish is due, partly, to the abundant supply of potash and phos- phorus they have got for centuries from potatoes and wheat, which form so large a part of their diet. The best sources of potash are:~ Beans, pota- toes, peanuts, wheat, lettuce, prunes, cucumbers, meat, walnuts. Sodium is found in every tissue of the body. Without it the processes of nutrition could not be carried on. Sodium is one of the elements of com- mon salt, but ft is not necessary to eat salt to get chlorine. Many careful investigators, including a physician of my acquaintance who has studied the subject assiduously for many years, say that common salt is in- jurious. Certainly the average per- son eats far too much of it, weakening the kidneys and exciting the delicate organism. I have demonstrated that there is enough sodium and chlorine in peanuts and wheat. . The best sources of sodium are; Milk, spinach, wheat, lentils, barley, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, figs, ap- ples, eggs, nuts. Sulphur seems to be very important in nutrition, for the average body con- tains about three ounces of it. Mrs. Squeers discovered that when given in crude mineral form it has an effect opposite to that which it is probably designed to serve. Its best sources of natural supply are: Potatoes, beans, horseradish, peanuts, figs, lettuce, olives, barley, milk, meat, eggs, oats, wheat. White flour contains none. Iron is a very necessary element in the blood. White bread contains none of it, milk a small percentage. The foods richest in iron are: Len- tils, lettuce, peas, figs, nuts, rye, wheat, apples, grapes, prunes, oats, onions. Calcium is very necessary for the formation of bone, especially in chil dren. Its best sources are: Milk, figs, eggs, cocoanut, beechnuts, onions, wheat, rye, meat, potatoes, corn. Chlorine Is necessary for the forma- tion of gastric fluid, used in digestion. It also has an important influence in the oxygenation of the blood. Its best sources are: Milk, cocoanut, let- tuce, niits, cabbage, potatoes, eggs, corn, beans, meat, fish, wheat. Fine white flour contains no chlorine. Silicon gives hardness to the bones, hair, nails, ete. Its best sources of supply are: Lettuce, cabbage, figs, oats, barley, wheat, nuts. Fluorine seems to give elasticity to the veins and muscles, It is best sup- plied by lettuce, potatoes, figs, onions, nuts, milk, wheat, rye, olives, apples, grapes. Magnesium is always found in the blood, though there is some doubt as to its office. Its best sources are: Nuts, beans, wheat, milk, oats, corn, lettuce, rye, potatoes. Phosphorus is essential to the growth of the cells. Brain and nerve energy seem to depend largely upon the supply of phosphorus. It is very important to supply ample phosphorus in the food of growing children and brain workers, One-twelfth of the solid matter of the brain is phosphorus. ‘The old theory that fish supply an ex- traordinary amount of phosphorus seems not to be well founded. The foods that best supply phosphorus are: | Beans, peas, milk, wheat, rye, corn, eggs, nuts. potatoes, meats, fish, figs, carrots, cabbage. | It is now clear that all the elements of nutrition are supplied by bread, nuts, fruits, milk and meat. If one is satisned that meat is injurious he a waa REA be ae ck Gurren’ Mia SESE DOL (CO DS WSls LOUnCIC: ae foods that best supply phosphorus are: Beans, peas, milk, wheat, rye, corn, eggs, nuts. potatoes, meats, fish, figs, carrots, cabbage. It is now clear that all the elements of nutrition are supplied by bread, nuts, fruits, milk and meat. If one is satisfied that meat is injurious he can gradually eliminate that from his dietary. I have shown in a previous article why buttermilk is better for the adult than sweet milk, and I ad- vise it in every case. It is the various compounds of the mineral elements that are so impor- tant in the processes of nutrition. So important are they that a school of medicine, biochemistry, has been based upon their administration. Iron, sulphur or phosphorus may be found deficient in the blood as in- dicated by symptoms, but you cannot furnish sulphur tc the blood by drink- ing a solution of sulphur water. Min- eral food must go through the vege- table or animal. If we want iron or sulphur we must eat lettuce, eggs, meat, peanuts, wheat or other. nuts or cereals. The vegetables, especially beans, lettuce, potatoes and nuts, are richest In the mineral salts. Nuts contain, everything considered, the best supply. I shall deal more {ily with this phase of nutrition in the chapters on “The Diet Cure” and that on “Cooking.” CHARLES J.

Helm, former Senator James W. MeCreery of Greeley and Congressman Robert W. Bonynge. In the Senate, however, there was more opposition on the part of the fit- teen Republican members, Senators De Long and Bohn speaking particularly in derogation of the election of Hughes. Senator De Long declared that the election of Hughes “justified the choosing of every corporation man who had ever been sent to the Sen- ate!” Senator Tully Scott defined his po- sition at some® length, declaring that while his voice and vote had been raised at the Pueblo conyention against making a choice at that time for the position, he accepted the ver- dict of the majority and especially in view of the fact that Mr. Hughes had then publicly announced that if elect. ed to the United States Senate he would kuow no client save the state of Colorado. Senator Scott said he took the candidate at his word and regard- ed that utterance and pledge of Mr, Hughes as the highest form af Amert- can patriotism. Cripple Creek Drainage Tunnel. Colorado Springs, Colo.—With the exception of S. 8. Bernard, who ts succeeded by Allen L. Burris, presi: dent of the Bl Paso company, all di- directors of the Cripple Creek Drain- age and Tunnel Company were re elected at the annual stockholders’ meeting Tuesday. The directors will probably re-elect President Peek, Vice President Milliken, Secretary W. R. Waterton and Treasurer Castello. ‘The annual report of Treasurer Cas- tello shows that of the total of $388,500 subscribed toward the tunnel, $175,000 is still due. The company has $23, 819.90 cash on hand and has paid for all work up to January 1, 1909, so that it has nearly $200,000 with which to prosecute the work. It is estimated that about $120,000 additional will be required to complete the bore. Of the total of 15,500 feet to be bored, 4,872 feet had been completed in all three headings to January 1st and 246 feet bored this month, making a total of 5,118 feet to date. acttat aad Ranches Siaamboat. Denver—A Steamboat Springs dis: patch Tuesday night says: At 8:20 to night, promptly on time, the first reg. ular passenger and mail train over the Moffat road was welcomed into Steam: boat Springs by the populace. The screeching of whistles and music of the band blended with universal shouts of welcome and the class cries of scholars from different schools. At 6:00 o'clock the band and about 100 citizens went to Sidney, eight miles up the line, to act as an advance quard of welcome. In the Senate Mr. Hughes was placed in nomination by Senator Frank E. Gove of Denver, who spoke in part as follows: “Mr. President: I rise, at the re- quest and on behalf of the Democratic members of this body, to nominate the next senator of the United States for the state of Colorado. “In less than two months the oldest and one of the most eminent senators of the United States will voluntarily relinquish the burdens of his public trust and retire to private life. Since December 4, 1876, this distinguished and venerable statesman has honored this state in the councils of the na- tion. In years to come, when the pub- lic services of other men shall be for- gotten, the name of Henry M. Teller wih be recalled and his memory be ‘preserved with gratitude and rever- ence by the people of this state. “Ours is the opportunity, the respon- sibility and the duty to name the suc- cessor for this grand and useful man. It is well for Colorado at this time that it is so. We welcome the opportunity, we shrink not from the responsibility. We will perform that duty. “Our candidate for a seat in the greatest deliberative assembly in the world is neither an unknown nor an untried man. He has been with us for many years. “The keen intelligence, sound fudg- ment and strong personality of our candidate will of necessity impress itself upon his associates in the Sen- ate of the United States. He is a great lawyer, of broad experience and extensive practice, and, after the 4th day of next March, as ne himself has announced, he will know but one cli- ent, the state of Colorado—the Hon, Charles J. Hughes of Denver. Representative William E. Foley of Denver placed Mr. Hughes in nomina- tion in the House. ‘The vote stood as follows: In the Senate—Hughes, 20; Helm, 8; MeCreery, 5; Bonynge, 2. Tm the House—Hughes, 63; Helm, 9; MeCreery, 2; Bonynge, 1. Colorado State Grange. Denver.—Reports of officers of the Colorado State Grange, made at tts opening meeting Tuesday afternoon, show that its growth during the past year has been greater than ever before in its history in Colorado, The treas- ury is in beiter condition than ever be- fore, One thousand new members were added to the association last year, making a grand total of 3,000 and establishing firmly the grange’s stand- ing. "Two years ago it was in a weak condition. All this in face of tre fact that State Master John Morris says last year was the hardest that the av- crage Colorado farmer has faced in his twenty-eight years of experience in that business. The attendance at this meeting is 300, another record-breaker. Corporation Income Tax. Chicago.—A bill has been introduced in the Oklahoma Legislature taxing corporations on their income to create a fund for the payment of accident and old age pensions. Railroads are taxed one-fourth of one per cent. of thelr earnings and ordinary corpora- tions one per cent. County Commissioners’ Convention. Denver.—One hundred and eight commissioners, representing thirty-six counties in the state, gathered in con- vention in the court room of the Juven. ile Court Tuesday.

Nothing so excites the Democratic party as the knowledge of the possession of dominant power.

Democratie rule is therefore always more or less turbulent and unalterably self-destructive. Democracy has no permanent seat in Colorado.

While it is nothing more than suggestion as yet, its source is such as to indicate that thought has been aroused in the right quarter. An able lawyer outlines the legislation needful to enable states and communities to deal successfully with this evil, now national in its scope, in the Central Law Journal of St. Louis. The remedies suggested consist, in the main, of special powers which is proposed to vest in the courts and officers of the commonwealth, which powers are intended to squarely meet the conditions which are known to exist wherever mobs do their work. The suggestions include, first, the changing of the place of trial of those accused of taking part in a mob, to some other part of the state than the country where the offense was committed. This is to insure an impartial jury. It is proposed to change the constitution of the various states in order that this provision may be made legal. Next, the rule of reasonable doubt should be withdrawn from persons accused of participating in a mob, and a preponderance of credible evidence should be sufficient to convict. Next, the governor and the attorney-general should have discretionary power to appoint special attorneys to prosecute mob cases, because prosecuting officers, may be influenced by the sentiments of the people of that district. Next, in case the jury should acquit, the state should have the absolute right to have the case reviewed by the higher court before absolute discharge of prisoners be entered. Further than this the general adoption of the provisions of a statute now in force in Ohio, compensating the legal heirs of the victim of a mob, is recommended. Altogether this constitutes a quite thorough and practical method by which the evil of mob rule may be successfully met. There is no doubt that lawlessness in this direction has increased to a startling degree in the United States, and that some new and radical move is necessary to check it. The work of the night riders and the lynching of white men of prominence has caused the awakening. It is in sheer self-defense therefore that the sober, settled elements and the law-givers of the country have set to work. The wrongs inflicted upon the weak and helpless have reached up to those who are strong and who must defend the integrity of the states. This was the inevitable result, and now something reasonable in the way of legislation may be looked for. ON THE ROAD TO BARBECUE. NENT-ELECT TAFT is down in Georgia for the condition for the big Marathon that he next March. He is being entertained by Joe and is gettting in close touch with the surely for endorsement of his expressesoration of harmony, equality and fraternity the solid North." He attended a big PRESIDENT-ELECT TAFT is down in Georgia keeping warm and getting into condition for the big Marathon that has its start on the fourth day of next March. He is being entertained graciously by the big folks of Dixie and is gettling in close touch with the gentlemen upon whom he must rely for endorsement of his expressed desire to bring about "the restoration of harmony, equality and fraternity between the solid South and the solid North." He attended a big barbecue at the monthly meeting of the Beech Island Farmers' Club, on the South Carolina shore of the Savannah river, across from Augusta, Ga., the other day, and got in touch with the old-time sentiment of the ante-bellum aristocracy, as well as the never brand which the present day plantation lords dispense, along with roast shoat, lamb and hominy. The Carolina hospitality was of the good old "Uncle Cue" and "Auntie Cue" sort, but the trip on the Georgia side of the river, out of Augusta, afforded observations a little more modern. Mr. Taft, with Mr. Hiteheock, chairman of the National Republican Committee, Senator Bourne of Oregon, and Major John Hayes Hammond of South Carolina, started for the barbecue early in the afternoon. On their way to the old-time raft ferry over the Savannah river, Mr. Taft's automobile passed a gang of Negro convicts at work on the road and guarded by men carrying shotguns. The press dispatches did not record any comment or any impression made by this incident. It was trivial, of course, from the Georgian point of view. The chain-gang system is being reformed in Georgia, and a sight that was left for the President-elect's view, could not have been startling. But we wonder how these ordinary incidental exhibitions harmonized with the hopes and plans in Mr. Taft's mind for the obliteration of political difefrences between the North and South. According to the president of the Beech Island Farmers' Club, the South stands willing to accept the advance of the new chief magistrate. But it is understood that the re-united elements and chief parties to the compact will fly by the Negro, the mutual convict in the bargain, and leave him standing in the road, guarded by men carrying shotguns. Yes, the South is willing to drop political animosities if the North will accept the guage by which the South adjusts its own varied relations. Let the North go with the South to the love-feast and say nothing of what she sees on the road, and everybody will be happy. By FRANK T. McINTYRE, Comedian. A laugh is a brother to a tear. It is a matter of common knowledge among criminologists that the more hardened the criminal the less susceptible he is to humor—in fact, the greater the criminal instinct the less the development of the sense of humor. It is also a matter of universal knowledge that a misanthropie is devoid of humor, and by the same process of reasoning it follows that the philanthropist is keenly alive to the mirth-provoking qualities of a good story or a clever witticism. It does not follow that the higher developed educational homo is a better audience than he who has had no such opportunities for mental aggrandizement.

PETER H. BURKE Open the Libraries on Sunday By ARTHUR M. WATSON, Sec'y Carpenters Dist. Council, Boston. Suffrage for All But Idiots By Congressman Geo. A. Pearre, Maryland. Jokes Can Win Laughs in Every Nation We may answer the question, "Why should public libraries be open Sunday mornings?" by asking another: "Why should they not be open Sunday mornings if a sufficient number of their patrons desire it?" We will assume that public libraries are what the name implies, and that the Boston library was really "erected by the munificence of citizens and dedicated to the advancement of learning." Such an important part of the equipment of Boston should be available to those of its citizens whose Arthur M. Watson I believe in universal suffrage, limited only by idiocy and conviction of crime. As founded, this was a government of all the people, by all the people, and for all the people, and not a government of all the people by a part of the people and for a part of the people. Universal suffrage is the ideal method of control in popular government and the effort and tendency should be continually to remove rather than to add restrictions to the freedom of its exercise and to comprehend within its benefits, rather than to exclude therefrom, all possible classes of Look Whose Here.

TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE SOUTH God and nature have so arranged this universe that along with every wrong—yes, the wrong itself—is born the force that will ultimately overthrow it. Evil may be said to commit suicide, for it furnishes by its own course the poison with which its career is eventually cut short. Proceeding upon this theory, the Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, A.M., B.D., of whom ex-President Merrill of Fisk University said, "the man whom I think understands the race question better than any other living man," has made a study of the manner in which injustice toward the Negroes is operating on the whites and shows in an indisputable manner that their course is working the whites immeasurable harm. The Hon. J. C. Napier, widely known throughout the nation, president of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, trustee of the Anna T Jeannes' fund, cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank, had the following to say of the booklet in question: "I have read Mr. Griggs' booklet, called "Needs of the South." I simply wish I had sufficient words to tell just how much I think of it. To my mind its general circulation through out the South will do more good than anything I have ever read. I have sent my copy to President Taft with the strongest indorsement of which I am capable of giving. Long may Mr. Griggs live to give out such able thought as is contained in this little booklet." This booklet is one of a series that Mr. Griggs will produce, showing how the South harms itself whenever it deals unjustly by the Negro, how that its only hope from self-inflicted harm is in a policy of fair-play.

One of the prehistoric methods used in securing a water supply in sections where it was impossible to secure it from natural sources, or where it became necessary to live on elevated territory for defense was by the construction of dew ponds. These dew ponds were made by hollowing out the earth for a space far in excess of the apparent requirements of such a pond, then thickly covering the whole of the hollow with a coating of straw. The straw in its turn was covered by a layer of well chosen, finely puddled clay, and the upper surface of the clay closely strewn with stones. Such a pond will gradually become filled with water, the more rapidly the larger it is, even though no rain may fall. During the warmth of a summer day the earth will store a considerable amount of heat, while the pond, protected from the heat by the nonconductivity of the straw, is at the same time chilled by the process of evaporation from the puddled clay. The consequence is that during the night the moisture of the comparatively warm air is condensed on the surface of the cold clay. As the condensation during the nights is in excess of the evaporation during the day, the pond becomes, night by night, gradually filled.—Popular Mechanics. Chinese Using Modern Umbrellas.

Sunday was an unusual day for the Alliance, in that a young girl scarcely out of her teens was the center of attraction for fully thirty minutes. Her ideas on home training, school and church training, for better training, were very fundamental and opportune, to say the least. In one of her climaxes she said: "The home should preserve the child for the state, and the state should preserve the child for the home." She showed the rise and necessity of child labor laws; for the state laws protecting children from vice and all kinds of danger, all having aim for the state to protect itself. "The child of today is the government of tomorrow. If we would have a good government, let us raise good children. More bad children come today because their fathers are too busy making money to care for them. Naturally, coldness, indifference and mistreatment is often started and fostered by this neglect," said the writer. It would have done older people much good to have heard that young lady pick out flaws and suggest remedies to our social, financial and religious systems. "Sins of Society," an article, was the product of much intelligent discussion. The Alliance passed a resolution of condolence to be sent Charles J. Harris, sympathizing with him in his hour of trouble. Resolutions of gratitude were sent to Editors Franklin and Rivers for the presentation of some application cards for new members and for the free use of the papers, respectively. The Alliance will give a blue ribbon to the best practical plan, business or scheme by which the Negroes can best operate a business. Beginning with February 1st, written plans will be handed in until March 1st, and at which time the various plans will be discussed, and after the plans have been thoroughly discussed, the plan receiving the majority of the Alliance vote will get the blue ribbon. Anybody can present a plan, but nobody but members will be allowed to discuss it. Outsiders take notice. The following program was announced for January 24th: Vocal solo, Miss Maria Gaskins; piano solo, Miss Elsie Von Dickershon; vocal solo, Miss Thelia Tucker; paper, J. H. Childers; address, C. S.

Among Others, It Makes a Delicious Cabbage Salad Dressing. It is an amazing thing how much sour cream is thrown away in the summer by careless housewives and ignorant maids, who fail to discover in it the possibilities for innumerable tasty dishes. Sour cream make a delicious cabbage salad dressing, whether used uncooked, stirring it in at the last before serving the salad, or cooking it in this way: Chop or shred the cabbage fine and put in a deep dish. Put into a saucepan over a hot fire one cupful of thick sour cream and stir in while heating the yolks of three well beaten eggs. Add a half teaspoonful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of butter, with salt and pepper to taste. While cooking stir in a half cupful of strong vinegar. This makes a smooth, thick dressing, delightfully creamy. Pour over the cabbage while hot and mix thoroughly. TRY THIS BOSTON TART. Particularly Appetizing Delicacy for the Dessert. Two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one lemon, one level tablespoonful cornstarch, some pastry, one cupful of boiling water. Beat up the yolks of the eggs with the sugar; then add the grated rind and strained juice of the lemon, then add the cornstarch. Mix all these well together; then add the water. Place the basin over a pan of boiling water and stir the mixture for a few minutes until the flour is cooked and loses its raw taste. Roll out the pastry and line a platter or shallow dish with it. Then pour in the mixture, bake it in a hot oven until the pastry is done. Beat up the whites of the eggs stiffly, add sugar and vanilla extract to taste. Heap this meringue over the tart, then return to a cool oven for a minute. Richmond Maids. There is a celebrated cheese cake made from a recipe of one of the maids to Queen Elizabeth, and sold in a little pastry shop in Richmond, England. One cupful of sweet milk, one of sour, one of sugar, one of seeded raisins, one lemon, the yolks of four eggs, a pinch of salt. Cut the raisins in small pieces. Put all the milk in the double boiler, and cook until it curds; then strain. Put the curd through a sieve. Beat the sugar and yolks of eggs together, add the grated rind and juice of the lemon, the raisins and the curd. Line little patty pans with pie crust rolled thin. Put a large spoonful of the filling in each and bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. Needle Protectors. If you knit mittens and lace, buy two small aluminum thimbles, puncture a small hole in each thimble near the rim, and sew a thimble on each end of one-eighth of a yard of narrow silk elastic. The a bow of bright ribbon in center of elastic if you wish, and you have a fine protection from the sharp knitting needles, by slipping a thimble over the end of the needles. It also prevents dropping of stitches when the work is lying unprotected in the work basket. All knitters know how easily the needles will slip out of the work, but having one of these thimbles slipped on to each end of the needle this danger is obviated. Creole Baked Apples Core and pare the apples and put them into a baking dish with a little sugar, water and lemon juice, and bake until tender, but not broken. Remove to a serving dish, fill the centers with jelly or marmalade, and pour the liquid from the baking dish over them. Beat the whites of two eggs till dry and add, gradually, two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, one-fourth teaspoonful of lemon extract, and half a teaspoonful of vanilla. Put this meringue on top of the apples and bake in a moderate oven eight minutes. Potatoes Fried with Egg. Chop cold boiled potatoes into dice. Fry salt pork slices till you have enough pork fat to fry your potatoes a nice brown in. Chop the crisp pork in with the potatoes. Fry potatoes brown, and break over them as many eggs as you need for the amount you have. A small amount needs but one egg, though two makes it nicer. Stir quickly into the potatoes and remove from the fire as soon as the white is partly set. The egg will continue cooking after taking off the stove. To Bake Fish. All housekeepers know how difficult it is to wash a pan in which fish has been baked, the glutinous skin of the fish adhering to the pan until vigorous scouring is necessary to remove it. Butter the pan well, and then spread in it a piece of thick waxed paper, preferably the kind used to line cracker boxes. When the fish is baked it can be easily lifted from the paper, which in turn slips easily out of the pan. Home-Made Curtain Fixtures Take the covers of two baking powder cans (one-half pound size), cut a small groove in the side of one to slip in the rod, then tack one on each side of the door frame for brackets; for a rod cut a broom handle the required length to fit the door; either give the rod a coat of paint or shellac.

Railroad Building Denver, Colorado GREAT CROWDS AT STOCK SHOW IMMENSE AMPHITHEATER FILLED TO LIMIT WITH ENTHUSIAS TIC PEOPLE. SEATED AND STANDING THE BIG EXHIBITION AT DENVER PLEASES AND ASTONISHES ALL VISITORS. Denver:—An enthusiastic, discriminating, horse-loving throng of more than 12,000 filled the stock show amphitheater to overflowing Wednesday night, night. The Denver Republican report, the huge $200,000 structure being filled with a happy, cheering gathering from the rail of the arena to the topmost tier of seats. It was a record-breaking crowd, and caused the managers of the show to begin figuring, even before the amphitheater is a year old, just how it can be enlarged to accommodate future crowds. The parade of Shorthorn and Galloway cattle opened the program and was followed by a contest of paired trotters, there being five entries in this class. Each of the teams in the contest was perfectly matched, and the judges had a most difficult task to finally determine the winners of the prizes. Judge E. A. Colburn's team, Johnny Dillon and Delpha Delmas, was awarded the cup and the blue ribbon for gart and appearance; Nellie L. and Billy McKinley, owned by W. H. Crandall, were given second prize; and Hugh C. Wheaton's Walter and Harry Talman's Raleigh were awarded the white ribbon indicative of winning the third place in the contest. Forty-five magnificent Percheron stallions, mares and horses, groomed until their coats shone like satin and with their manes and tails decked with ribbons and flowers, took the hearts of men and women alike by storm. Showing an intelligence almost human in their knowledge of what was expected of them, eleven combination saddle and driving horses appeared in the next class. Being first driven about the arena attached to light carriages, they displayed the perfect carriage horse trot or pace, as the case might be, and then, under saddle, showed their single-footing, walking and cantering gaits. C. E. Guy's Prince Victor was victor in the contest, and won for its owner a blue ribbon and a silver loving cup. Janey Rex, belonging to R. S. Smith, won second, and Limestone Artist, owned by E. F. Burden of Littleton, won third prize. The peculiar fluted effect of the hair-coated Angus cattle in the next number on the program caught the eyes of many of the women in the audience. One woman whose knowledge of the latest styles in coiffures was evidently greater than her familiarity with cattle, was heard to remark, as she leaned far out over the rail of the box the occupied with a party of friends: "My, aren't those cows just beau-u-utiful! And just see how their hair is marcelled!" Thimble Skein, a beautiful, high-steping Samuel Cozzens entry easily carried off first honors in the single harness horse contest. Each stride of the horse was a marvel of perfection, and early won the approbation of the audience. Dr. S. Williams' Lord Victory was awarded second prize and Prince Victor was given third. Six famous racing horses owned in Colorado were exhibited and were given a welcome such as was due princes and princesses of royal blood. Perhaps the prettiest gaited horse exhibited during the evening was Gladstone, entered in the "high-stepers" class by John M. Kuykendall, and which was awarded the blue ribbon. Flower Girl, another Cozzens entry, received second, and Dr. Williams' Sunny Jim was awarded third prize. A number not down on the program was a pony jumping contest for a cup offered by J. Foster Symes. This was won by Red Fox, owned and ridden by George Lilley. Red Fox was by far the cleverest jumper in the class, clearing the bars at four feet six inches with the utmost ease, and with a peculiar style which made his flights appear almost like standing jumps. In the final exhibition of the Morris & Co. and the Swift Big Sixes, a six-horse team of mules drawing a huge street sprinkler entered the arena at the same time and furnished untold amount of amusement to the spectators. The mules were the exhibit of J. Fred Roberts, and were very cleverly trained and driven. First Train Out of Steamboat. Denver—A Steamboat Springs dispatch Monday night says: With whistles tooting and the townsfolk cheering, the first passenger train that ever ran out of Steamboat Springs began its journey to Denver at 7:20 o'clock yesterday morning. Eighty-one people vied with each other for the distinction of being the first to board the train. Among them were old settlers in the district who had not seen an engine since they had deserted civilization. Settlers from Hayden, Hahn's Peak and Elk River, were on hand with Steamboat pioneers who had left their beds at daylight to witness what they had long dreamed of—to hear a railroad train rumble into Steamboat. The total amount collected for the Italian earthquake sufferers through the efforts of various committees and individuals named by Consul A. Rossi at Denver up to the 20th inst., was $19,766 94. All but $50 of this sum has been cabled to Italy. A special committee is still at work in Denver. The first cattle shipment from Steamboat Springs was made on the 18th inst. when the Cary Bros. of Hayden loaded 750 head of fine beef cattle for Denver, making twenty-seven carloads, or two trains. HEAD-ON COLLISION OF PASSEN GER AND FREIGHT TRAIN AT DOTSERO. TWENTY-ONE ARE DEAD THIRTY-FOUR WERE INJURED, SOME OF WHOM WILL NOT RECOVER. Denver.—A Republican special from Glenwood Springs Saturday night says: With twenty-one known to be dead and thirty-four injured, some fatally, the collision of passenger and freight trains on the Rio Grande at Dotsero last night, ranks second in horror only to the Adobe and Eden wrecks on the same line. At Dotsero bodies were mangled beyond recognition and cannot be identified, but at Adobe they were burned and at Eden swept away by a flood. The most harrowing conditions of the Dotsero wreck were the lack of light for the rescuers, there being but two trainmen's lanterns available; the wreckage of a long freight train obstructing the arrival of rescuers, doctors and nurses; the narrowness of the embankment beside the wreckage, where a misstep meant probable death in the river. Thus sufferings of the injured were prolonged and this, with exposure to cold, probably means death for some who otherwise might have survived. Even after the living victims were brought here there were not enough surgeons to attend them, and it was more than twelve hours after the wreck before it was possible to give them more than the usual first aid. Responsibility for the disaster is fixed upon Engineer Gus Olson of the passenger, who says he misread his watch after reading and understanding his orders, left Dotszero on the freight's time and caused the collision. A Sunday night special gives the following list of dead and injured, omitting in the latter all but Colorado people: Boy ten years old and girl eight years old, children of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Kettle of Ashton, Neb. Rollie, nine years old, and Mildred, seven years old, children of Mr. and Mrs. John Williams of Clarks, Neb. Mrs. Oleson, son of Dr. Orville E. Oleson, Axtoll, Neb.

Glenwood Springs.—The injured passengers at Dotsero were in the smokwas sent crashing into the tourist sleeper. The impact of the collision reared the two mighty engines upon each other and flung the smoker to one side, while the heavy Pullman was sent crashing into the tourist sleeper which telescoped the chair car. Only a few escaped with their lives in the chair car. Dotsero is at a sharp curve around the base of an extinct volcano and has been famous as an ill-starred place.

Camden, N.J.—"It is with pleasure that I add my testimonial to your already long list—hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of this valuable medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered from terrible headaches, pain in my back and right side, was tired and nervous, and so weak I could hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound restored me to health this valuable medicine, Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered from terrible headaches, pain in my back and right side, was tired and nervous, and so weak I could hardly stand. Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound restored me to health and made me feel like a new person, and it shall always have my praise.”—Mrs. W. P. VALENTINE, 902 Lincoln Avenue, Camden, N. J. Gardiner, Me.—“I was a great sufferer from a female disease. The doctor said I would have to go to the hospital for an operation, but Lydia E.

Because your case is a difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female lilies, such as inflammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and nervous prostration. It costs but a trifle to try it, and the result is worth millions to many suffering women. WHAT COLORADO LAWMAKERS ARE DOING AT DENVER Public Service Bill. Sen. Tully Scott's public service commission bill is drafted upon the bill which Governor Hughes so effectively put through the New York Legislature. It also contains the new additions to be made this year by Governor Hughes, regulating telephone, telegraph, gas, electric and water corporations, modified to serve local conditions. The railroad commission is made part of a board of five persons, and will serve until their terms expire. Each member will serve six years and will be appointed by the governor. The commission will appoint a public service commission, who shall receive a salary of $4,000 a year and a counsel at $5,000 a year. The counsel shall appoint an assistant at a salary of $2,500 a year. In addition the commission shall appoint clerks, assist ants and inspectors. No person can serve on the board or in its employ who is connected in any way with a corporation which comes under the provisions of the act, and no one connected with the commission shall acquire any corporation interest or stock while serving the railroad law is largely included in the bill. The general law applicable to all corporations coming under the provision, including railroads, street railways, common carriers, gas, electric, water, telegraph and telephone companies, is that the commission shall regulate all rates and schedules, order change of them, and of property as it thinks best for the public safety or good. It may order a railroad to move its station, or terminal, build switches or remove them, replace track or equipment, and may order change of equipment and plants of the other corporations. The books of all shall be open to inspection, regular reports must be made, testimony in cases of investigation of accidents must be given, and no corporation shall be excused on the ground that it would incriminate itself. Bat such evidence shall not be used against persons or corporations in damage suits. All transfers of stocks and bonds must meet the approval of the board of commissioners before becoming legal, unless purely a transfer for collateral security. Franchises not utilized by the holder, or parts of them not used, may be demanded by the state through the courts. A shipper may demand a sidetrack or switch and get it if his business justifies. Municipal water, gas or electric plants must make regular reports and are subject to investigation. The commission will fix the standard of quality of gas and water, the purity and pressure of gas, current and lamps used by electric companies. Variations from these standerds will cause the service to be suspended. Provisions are made by which consumers of these utilities or patrons of the telephone and telegraph can secure an investigation upon petition. Defends C. F. & I. Company. In relation to the election fraud resolution of Senator Scott several Republican senators used very sarcastic language, declaring that "those who live in glass houses should not throw stones." Senator Wood of Las Animas, stating first that he is a large shareholder in the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, said that the people of that district, and the industrial corporations interested there, were tired of being persecuted. Governor Shafroth's remarks in his inaugural address in relation to the Huerfano and Las Animas county elections during several years past he called the "most contemptible insult ever offered a corporation by a governor of Colorado." "You have either got to prove these accusations, my Democratic colleagues," he said, "or be branded as blackmailers!" Senator Barela also took exception to the charges in strong language, and brought forth much laughter when he said: "When Governor Shafroth was a Republican he used to say: 'I don't say that every Democrat is a horsethelf, but I do say that every horsethelf is a Democrat.' Of all the Republicans in Huerrano county," he continued, "I only know one who is not an ex-Democrat." Western Federation Claims. Bills have been presented in the House to pledge the state to pay for damages to Western Federation property during the troubles in the Cripple Creek district during the time the mine owners were driving the federation from that camp. Two more of these bills are to come, asking a total appropriation running well towards $100,000. One of these presented Monday includes a claim for $19,600 for damages to the store of the miners at Victor, another for $6,600 for damages to the store at Anaconda, and the third for over $4,000 for damages to and rent of the hall at Victor during its occupation by the military. Bill Fund Defective Owing to a fatal defect in the bill for a bank guarantee law, that measure will have to be re-introduced into the House, or an agreement will be made to push the Senate bill on the same subject. The bill was given to the introducer by an attorney, who had carefully studied all its provisions, but who had neglected to put in the most important part—that line containing the enacting clause. The discovery was not made until after 1, 000 copies of the bill had been printed. House Bills. Among the bills introduced in the House on the 18th inst. are the following: H. B. No. 87, by Mr. Foley (by request)—For the purchase by Colorado of the John Elsner collection for $10,000; appropriations and expenditures. H. B. No. 89, by Mr. Gardner—To pay the state bounty on coyotes; appropriations and expenditures. H. B. No. 92, by Mr. Metz—To pay the Western Federation of Miners a claim against the state of Colorado; appropriations and expenditures. H. B. No. 93, by Mr. Bellesfield—To pay the Western Federation of Miners a claim against the state; appropriations and expenditures. H. B. No. 95, by Mrs. Lafferty—Defining the chancery powers and jurisdiction of several county and juvenile courts within the state with reference to persons causing, encouraging or contributing to the dependency, neglect or delinquency of children; education. H. B. No. 96, by Mrs. Lafferty—Concerning the protection of children, and defining certain acts which shall be considered as causing, encouraging or contributing to such delinquency; education. H. B. No. 97, by Mrs. Lafferty—Concerning delinquent children; education. H. B. No. 98, by Mrs. Lafferty—To establish a state home for mental defectives; appropriations and expenditures. H. B. No. 112, by Mr. Walbridge—The establishment and maintenance of a state fish hatchery in the county of Rio Blanco; appropriations and expenditures. H. B. No. 116, by Mr. Goodfriend—To regulate the practice of barbering; labor. H. B. No. 117, by Mr. Packard—To prevent personas from trespassing by hunting or shooting upon the enclosed lands of another; judiciary. H. B. No. 118, by Mr. Carver—For the support of the State Industrial School at Golden, Colo., including the purchase of land; appropriations and expenditures. Against White Slave Traffic Subjecting to imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than one or more than five years any person who lives upon the earnings of a fallen woman, is the purpose of a bill introduced by Senator Campbell. The bill provides that any male over eighteen years of age who shall be a servant or employ in a house of ill fame, and any male or female, over the age of eighteen, who shall assist in the conducting of such a house, or who shall live on the earnings of any woman of bad repute, shall be guilty of a felony and subject to imprisonment for from one to five years. The bill provides the same penalty for procuring by either man or woman. Habitual frequenting of a disorderly house is to be deemed prima facie evidence of violation of the law. Lubers Immigration Bill. For the better advertisement and development of the state, Speaker Lenders has introduced a bill, backed by the state commercial associations, to create a board of immigration and give it $40,000 to spend in the next two years. Half of the appropriation can be spent each year. The board is to consist of nine members named by the governor and confirmed by the Senate, this board to elect a commissioner of immigration to carry on the work under direction of the board. The state is to be advertised by exhibits or by display in newspapers and periodicals, as the board sees fit. The commissioner is expected to be an expert in the advertising and promotion business. The bill also establishes an advertising fund to be composed of public subscriptions and held by the state treasurer to be used as the board directs. To Regulate Dance Halls. Representative Foley has introduced in the house a bill to regulate dance halls, winerooms and similar places, for the protection of young girls. The bill provides that no girl under the age of eighteen years shall be permitted to enter a dance hall or wineroom unless accompanied by either her father or her mother. Proprietors found guilty of violating the provisions of the law shall be punished by a fine of from $50 to $500 or a jail sentence not to exceed six months or both. Conviction establishes proof of conducting a disorderly house and is made the ground for revocation of the license. Judge Lindsey's Bills. Mrs. Lafferty has begun in the House to introduce the bills framed by Judge Lindsey to make the juvenile court more effective. There will be a dozen or more of the bills when they are all in, covering nearly every point where the law has been found wanting or to need amendments to aid in its administration. Agricultural Board Members A message was received in the Senate from the governor nominating John C. Bell and Elias M. Ammons as members of the State Board of Agriculture. On motion of Senator Scott the Senate went into executive session for a minute and when the doors were reopened the nominations were unanimously confirmed. They succeed B. U. Dye of Rocky Ford and J. L. Chattfield of Gypsum on the board. Bell, formerly congressman from Colorado, is a lawyer by profession, but owns a 480-acre farm near Montrose. Ammons is one of the leading stockmen and farmers of the state. The following is a never failing remedy for rheumatism, and if followed up it will effect a complete cure of the very worst cases: "Mix one-half pint of good whiskey with one ounce of Toris Compound and add one ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and at bedtime." The ingredients can be procured at any drug store and easily mixed at home. Be positive with the children. Lay down the law. It is remarkable how soon they discover when you are in earnest. Do not go to the breakfast table in a flurry, but stop long enough to count 100 slowly, and then enter with a calm manner determining that there will be no squabbling. It is natural for the young animal to scrap, and while not criminal, still it must be checked to self-control. Lay Hold of the Common Good. If men hate the presumption of those who claim a reputation to which they have no right, they equally condemn the faint-heartedness of those who fall below the glory which is their own. Lose, then, the sense of your private sorrows and lay hold of the common good!—Demosthenes. "I went out with an amateur and came back alive." "Why do you lay the scenes of your stories in the far north? Because you know all about that country?" "No; because nobody else does." Such is the charity of some, that they never owe any man ill-will, making present payment thereof.—T. Fuller.

After Specialist Failed to Cure Her Intense Itching Eczema—Had Iteen Tortured and Disfigured But Was Soon Cured of Dread Humor. "I contracted eczema and suffered intensely for about ten months. At times I thought I would scratch myself to pieces. My face and arms were covered with large red patches, so that I was ashamed to go out. I was advised to go to a doctor who was a specialist in skin diseases, but I received very little relief. I tried every known remedy, with the same results. I thought I would never get better until a friend of mine told me to try the Cuticura Remedies. So I tried them, and after four or five applications of Cuticura Ointment I was relieved of my unbearable itching. I used two sets of the Cuticura Remedies, and I am completely cured.

Dorando Pietri, at one of the many Italian banquets given in his honor in New York, talked about professional athletics. "Amateurism is no doubt more romantic than professionalism," he said, "but we live in an unromantic age." He smiled. "Only the other night, at one of your gayest Italian restaurants," he said, "I overheard a dialogue that illustrated forebely the age's lack of romance. "It was late. At the table next to mine a rich young Italian contractor was supplying with a beautiful young girl. As the young girl played with the stem of the wineglass I heard her murmur: "It is true, isn't it, that you love me and me only?" "Yes," said the young man, "though this lobster is certainly mighty good." TO APPEAL TO VARIOUS RACES Missionaries Provide "Holy Families" of Different Aspects. A colporteur, delivering a New Year address before a Sunday school, displayed a number of pictures and images of the Holy Family. "Here is a Holy Family for export to China," he said. The children laughed, for the Mary of the group was a China woman, with dwarfed feet and slanting eyes; Joseph was an old Chinaman with a long, thin mustache and a queue; the sacred infant had the flat nose and oblique eyes of China. "Here," said the colporteur, "is Holy Family for the Congo people." The children laughed again. Mary was now fat and black, with woolly hair; Joseph was a stalwart black warrior, a spear in his hand, a girdle of feathers about his waist; the infant, too, was black. "Our Holy Families for missionary use," the colopteur explained, "are always made in the likeness of the people they are to go among. Those simple and childlike people would be estranged by a white Holy Family. Only this sort shows them the Deity's real kinship with themselves." HER MOTHER-IN-LAW Proved a Wise, Good Friend. A young woman out in Ia. found a wise, good friend in her mother-in-law, Jokes notwithstanding. She writes: "It is two years since we began using Postum in our house. I was greatly troubled with my stomach, complexion was blotchy and yellow. After meals I often suffered sharp pains and would have to lie down. My mother often told me it was the coffee I drank at meals. But when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe headache. "While visiting my mother-in-law I remarked that she always made such good coffee, and asked her to tell me how. She laughed and told me it was easy to make good 'coffee' when you use Postum. "I began to use Postum as soon as I got home, and now we have the same good 'coffee' (Postum) every day, and I have no more trouble. Indigestion is a thing of the past, and my complexion has cleared up beautifully." "My grandmother suffered a great deal with her stomach. Her doctor told her to leave off coffee. She then took tea but that was just as bad. "She finally was induced to try Postum which she has used for over a year. She traveled during the winter over the greater part of Iowa, visiting, something she had not been able to do for years. She says she owes her present good health to Postum."

The coat is semi-fitting and is elaborately trimmed with black silk braid of two widths, and braid covered buttons. Large hat of stretched satin trimmed with the same. Materials required: $7\frac{1}{2}$ yards 46 inches wide, about 10 yards wide braid, and 2 dozen fine braid, $1\frac{1}{2}$ dozen buttons, $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards skirt lining, 6 yards silk for lining jacket. For the second, cedar green cloth is employed. The long, slightly trained skirt is quite plain. The coat has a rather short-waisted, tight-fitting bodice, the back of which is continued the whole length through the basque. Incisions are made in the collar, through which wide satin ribbon is threaded, the ends being drawn up and finished by tassels; the cuffs are also threaded with ribbon; satin-covered buttons are sewn on the back and are also used for fastening. Hat of velvet of the same color as the costume, trimmed with rosettes and wings. Materials required: 9 yards 46 inches wide, 6 yards skirt lining, 4 yards silk for lining jacket, $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards ribbon. IN WILLOW-GREEN CASHMERE. Pretty Dress for Girl of from Eight to Ten Years. BETTER THAN REAL FLOWERS. Artificial Bouquets Are Worn with the Evening Costume. Here is a pretty little dress in willow-green cashmere. The skirt is slightly full, and has a wide box-plait in the center front. The blouse is smocked each side front, and has a box-plait in center, which, with the THE DRESS turn-over collar, is trimmed with cord loops and silk buttons. The sleeves are smocked at the wrists, the hemmed edge of material being left to form a drill. Sash of soft ribbon of a darker shade than the cashmere. Materials required: 4 yards 46 inches wide. When shading in embroidery one cannot be too careful in doing the work. The colors should be run into each other gradually, so the changes will hardly be noticed. As the shades of silk are numbered, you should not find the work difficult. Do not use the very deep tones except where the flower or leaf is entirely in the shadow. Trimming for Cashmere. A charming trimming for cashmere or henrietta dinner frocks is messaline satin in self-tone, with matching sash, and a tucker and half-sleeves of gold lace or fine net. Ecru nets embroidered in colors harmonious with the cashmere and a novelty trimming or passementerle to outline the tucker will give a smart touch to the costume. Bead Flowers. A novelty in millinery is flowers made of beads. These, however, are not likely to become either popular or common because of their expense, their weight, and usually their lack of grace. Roses are made of fine steel beads with silver stamens, and on black or gray velvet toques are effective. BETTER THAN REAL FLOWERS. Artificial Bouquets Are Worn with the Evening Costume. As every woman knows, it is rather injurious to fine fabrics to pin heavy bunches of real flowers on them. They also fade before the evening is over and are apt to be discarded. The present fashion is to wear a large bunch of French blossoms, wonderfully colored and fashioned. There is no attempt to avoid daring and vivid combinations. This is a feature of this season's dressing. Scarlet poppies as well as American Beauty roses are favored. Gardenias, with their glossy green leaves, are worn on black, purple and crimson frocks. Combination of flowers are not in as good taste as they were some seasons ago. The bunch is of one kind. It is pinned a little below the bust at the left side. This seems to be the exact spot accepted as the fashionable one. Among the rare flowers which are put on extra handsome gowns are lilies of yellow satin with green leaves. BAD EFFECTS OF ANGER. Complexion Suffers Where There Is Lack of Self-Control. The girl who has a very quick temper must expect to have trouble with her complexion. Sometimes red spots come out prominently and refuse to be hidden even by powder. Sometimes there is a flush, and when it disappears the skin is quite dry and feels almost painful. The cause of all this is the excitement of getting angry. Very little can be done for the skin while the temper remains unchecked. Perhaps it would be a good idea for the girl who is worried about her poor complexion to examine herself to find out if a hasty temper is the cause of the mischief. Should this be so, let her set about gaining self-control before she attempts to improve her looks by the application of creams and lotions. Checks for Trimming. Many of the newest fall dresses are showing a touch of trimming or piping of checked material. For instance, a black suit is beautiful trimmed with a tiny piping of black and white checked serge. A dress of plain material—serge or panama—is very modish trimmed with bands of checked taffeta. What a difference a new touch like this makes! Even in an old-fashioned dress quite a new effect may be obtained by just a little modern trimming, which lightens up the whole and at once shows the wearer is up-todate. Newest Aprons. Among the newest fancy aprons are those made of cross-barred muslin or linen. The edge may be finished with insertion and lace and a dainty design embroidered across the bottom and up the sides. The embroidery can be done with colored silk or with white mercerized cotton. The work to be well padded and worked solid. Lace beading is used across the top, run with a delicate shade of ribbon to match the embroidery.

To Send Toothsome Morsel to Table in Proper Style Attention to Small Details Must Be Observed. The cooking of a simple chop or steak demands no small amount of a simple chop on small amount of skill if it is to be sent to the table in first-class style. Anyone can throw the one or other into a frying pan, turn it once or twice over the fire, waste the skill if it is to be sent to the table in first-class style. Anyone can throw the one or other into a frying pan, turn it once or twice over the fire, waste the goodness of the lean, impart an unpleasant flavor to the fat and then serve it up, an unsightly, indigestible and unsavory morsel. Of course, a chop should be grilled, but in many households the necessary clear fire is not always obtainable. It takes some time to prepare a fire for grilling. When the surface is a red glow all over, without any flame or smoke, then the fire is ready for a grill. The chops should at least be an inch thick, neatly trimmed. The gridiron must be held over the fire for an instant to warm; then wiped thoroughly with a clean cloth; then rubbed on both sides with a piece of suet, and it is ready for the chop. This may be allowed to cook on one side for a minute or two. It is then turned, with a pair of cooking tongs for choice. If a fork is used insert it in the fat, and not in the lean. Turn the chop every minute, and it will be done in from ten minutes to a quarter of an hour. The principle involved is this: The fierce heat of the fire dries the outer fiber of the meat and forms a sort of thin crust or casing. This retains all the juices of the meat, which would escape and be lost were it pierced with the fork. Where there is no time to prepare a proper grilling fire, a chop can be cooked in front of a fire, though it loses that "flavor of the fire," which is so delicious yet so difficult to describe. An Edging Plant. The appearance of pots that contain foliage plants can be much improved if some of the Lycopods or Selaginellas are planted around the edge of the pot. These are often called club mosses and are very decorative when planted thickly. The one most often used is Selaginella Kraussiana and its close mossy surface is pretty in low fern dishes on the table as well as for a plant edging. The selaginellas are treated as are ferns and must have partial shade and not be allowed to dry out. They do best in a light porous soil with plenty of sand. Bacon and Calf's Liver. Both bacon and liver should be in thin slices. Fry the bacon and remove it as soon as it is done enough to a hot dish before the fire; flour and pepper the liver and place it in the pan; turn frequently until done, then place a slice of bacon on each slice of liver. Make a gravity by pouring off the fat and dredging a little flour into the pan; pour in enough water to supply the quantity of gravy desired, add a tablespoonful of lemon juice, boil and pour upon the dish. Garnish with slices of lemon. Time, about ten minutes. Rice Pone. One cup boiled rice, two heaping tablespoons fine cornmeal, two tablespoons butter, one cup sweet milk, two eggs, one-half teaspoon salt. Add butter to warmed milk to melt it well, then stir in rice, salt, cornmeal, beating well. Beat yolks and whites separately, adding whites to the mixture last of all. Bake in buttered baking tin in hot oven 30 to 40 minutes to thoroughly swell the cornmeal, making it digestible. Nice for family of boys and to use up left-over boiled rice. Many a housewife wishes to learn a new wrinkle about getting the rich brown gloss that she has seen on pastry made by professional cooks. The recipe is simple. An egg is well beaten up with a tiny bit of sugar. Add a small quantity of milk, beat well together and with a small pastry brush go over the pie after it is ready to be placed in the oven. Another way and a very simple one to gloss the crust is to rub it over with cold water before baking. Blitz Kuchen. One cup of 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 blanche 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. Italian Spaghetti Half a box of spaghetti, washed and boiled in salted water; when cooked drain in colander and wash in cold water; drain again. Put into saucepan with one can of tomatoes, a little salt and red pepper. Fry two slices of bacon with one onion; add this to the mixture and let all simmer one hour. Turn into baking dish, cover with bread crumbs and small pieces of butter and brown.
