Colorado Statesman

Money Saved by Patronizing Those Who Advertise in This Paper. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY WANTE Not a Theory but a Condition Destroyed Confidence. To WANTED WORK Not a Theory but a Condition. Denver Negroes Loosing out Destroyed Confidence. To much Picnic. Good Citizens. Individual Merit Must Win. NO THEORY—A CONDITION. The Colorado Statesman representatives here many things and goes many places. Just now the air is full of complaints. Men can't get work. Talks with old-time Denverites one is surprised at the changed conditions. It has not been so many years ago when in the private houses the bulk of the employees were Negro. Down in the business section of the city all the porters and many in better positions were colored men. In the large hotels and restaurants the waiters, porters, bell boys and chambermaids were Negroes. The demand for colored help was far in excess of the supply and the wages paid were such that everyone had money. In those days one was idle from choice not from necessity. But conditions have greatly changed. A colored coachman is rarely seen, and but few men can find employment about the flats and terraces. In place of the colored girl in the kitchen, the Swede and German, the Jap and the Chinaman, are doing the work. In the hotels and restaurants the white waiter has taken the place of the Negro, likewise the white porter and bell boy. In the business houses white porters are rapidly replacing Negroes. As a result there are more idle colored men in the city of Denver at present than ever before in our history. These men are not idle from inclination. They are ready and willing to work, but they can find nothing to do. DESTROYED CONFIDENCE. There must be a reason for this very radical change in public sentiment regarding the employment of Negroes. It does not grow out of the belief that the Negro has lost the graceful cunning that made him the ideal table waiter, butler or porter. But the reason is not far to find. A casual talk with business men and people who employ help and they will generally tell you, that colored help is preferred but THEY CANNOT DEPEND ON THEM. In many instances this may be merely a subterfuge. But on the other hand talk with many of our people and note their indifference TO MAKING TIME. For years the picnic and excursion has lured ALL VOL. XV. classes of our people from their work, many leaving without the knowledge and consent of their employer, others going when they knew that their services were greatly needed. This apparent indifference of the Negro to the value of faithfulness to his employer has no doubt had much to do with the present condition confronting Negroes in Denver. So long as the business men and employers of labor lack confidence in the Negro, just so long will it be impossible for him to secure work. Every possible effort must be made to regain this confidence. The sensible men and women of our churches and lodges must frown down the multitude of pienies and excursions that will begin as soon as the weather grows warmer and continue until the next winter, averaging two a week. Every Negro employee must exercise more care and greater diligence in doing whatever he is called upon to do by his employer. THE GOOD CITIZEN. In the palmy days when our people were making all kinds of money their desire to have a good time ran riot with their judgment. Just now we are beginning to realize the intensity of the competition we are up against. Here comes the silent diseret Jap and Chinaman, and we have lost our hold on the private family work. Here comes the Greek who puts two chairs in a room, buys a box of blacking, grabs a rag and the Negro bootblack vanished. The Greek puts his earnings in the bank, dignifies his work and in a few years becomes a desirable citizen. The Negro coined money as a bootblack but "shot" it across a "crap table" or lost it in the devious windings of a "faro bank." All honest labor is honorable and the disgrace arises in not saving a portion of the earnings. If it were possible to induce the Negroes of Denver to deposit one-tenth of their earnings each month in any bank for one year, no more profound argument could be developed in proving the Negro a desirable citizen. A bank account means credit. It means interest and influence in everything that goes to make a better city. It means less of crimes and criminals. The colored man must realize that "here State House onizing Thos ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SAT in Denver the beautiful" as elsewhere about the world "he must work out his own destiny. He need no longer expect sympathy and tolerance of pecidillos because he's black. The world does not love the Jap, the Chinaman, the Greek, the Dago, and the Jew for their sweet smelling flavor, but because they are a dependable quality and deliver the goods. The Negro must deliver the goods. We must through merit win back the confidence of the employing public. RACE ADJUSTMENT Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University of Washington, D. C., has given to the race a new book. This simple announcement is or should be sufficient to create thousands of eager purchasers of "Race Adjustment." Under the title of "Race Adjustment," Prof. Miller has arranged a number of his very best essays on the race question. It contains such splendid essays as An Open Letter to Thomas R. Dixon, the Negro As a Political Factor, Frederick Douglas, etc. Prof. Miller is undoubtedly one of the most caucious writers of the race and his essays while manly and strong, are free from bitterness and rancor so common among many writers of our race. Hon. Geo. W. Cable, the most noted literary man of the South, speaking of Prof. Miller's "Open Letter to Thomas Dixon," says "it is one of the most important documents that has appeared on this subject for many years." This book should be in the home of every Negro in the land and carefully read. It is issued by The Neale Publishing Company, Washington, D. C. TAFTS ADVICE TO NEGROES Augusta, Ga., Jan. 17.—Mr. Taft, speaking before the colored Y. M. C. A. here this afternoon, made it plain that he was to be the Negro's as well as the white man's president. "The idea that the South can afford," said Mr. Taft, "to have the Negroes transplanted to some other country to me always sounded like a joke. They tried it down in Mississippi and they were going to move them, not out of the country to Africa but only across the river, and they had a riot. Of course that is absurd. "But if the Negro would be respected he must make himself worthy of respect. He must cultivate those virtues of providence, of industry, of thrift which will make him respected as a laborer, as a farmer, as a skilled mechanic, as a man contributing to the wealth of the community in which he lives and without whose aid the accumulation of that wealth is impossi- --- ble. "I want to add that I always want to say before a colored audience that you are Americans. The idea of transplanting you is utterly absurd. The only flag you know is the Stars and Stripes, and you are of a race that has given up their lives and moistened the ground with their blood in defense of that flag and will continue to do so. Therefore, as the President of the United States to be, if the Lord spares me until March 4th, I must feel that I had not discharged my duty in coming into this country if I spoke at all without speaking to the colored people as an important part of the South and as Americans entitled to the same earnest concern that I hope the Lord may give me to manifest with respect to a whole united people." ANOTHER NEGRO BANDMASTER. Washington, D. C., Jan. 19. The Wor Department announces that Chief Musician George F. Tyrrell, of the Tenth Cavalry Band, stationed in the Philippines has been transferred to the Fifteenth Cavalry Band (white), and ordered with that organization to Fort Myer, Va., near this city. This is the first transfer of this kind made under the President's recent order, which looks finally to having Negro leaders of the bands for the four Negro regiments. As vacancies occur in the position of chief musician of white bands the white leaders of colored bands will be transferred to fill them and colored leaders will be appointed to the colored bands. In June last Elbert Williams, formerly bandmasrer at Tuskegee Institute, was appointed chief musician of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. A short time ago Carl Gung'l, chief musician of the Ninth, was retired, and his place, it is understood, has been taken by James A. Thompson, a Negro, who has been serving for a long time as assistant leader. With the assignment of a Negro chief musician to the vacancy created by the transfer of Chief Terrell, the only white leader remaining will be W. O. Thompson, now with the Twenty-fourth Infanty at Madison Barracks, New York. GIVES THIRD OF BLOOD TO SAVE LIFE OF WIFE WHO BORE HIM A CHILD. Walla Walla, Wash., Jan. 27. In order to save the life of his wife who seemingly was dying from loss of blood on account of childbirth, Archie Nicholson today submitted to the transfusion of two quarts of his blood into her veins. Nicholson, who is a cement worker, is greatly weakened by the loss of blood, but physicians say that both husband and wife will recover. In the year 1870 J. R. Rainey, of South Carolina, the first Negro ever elected to the United States House of Representatives, was sworn in. Washington, D. C., Jan. 18. The nomination of James W. Johnson, of New York, by President Roosevelt to be Consul at Corinto, Nicaragua, has been confirmed by the Senate. Mr. Johnson is a brother of J. Rosamond Johnson of Cole & Johnson. This is a promotion for Mr. Johnson in the consular service. Washington, Jan. 27.—Senate leaders have drafted a bill for the settlement of the Brownsville question which meets with the approval of President Roosevelt and Senator Foraker. It provides for the appointment of a commission of general officers to consider all applications of the discharged Negro soldiers for re-enlistment. The conclusions of the commission must be submitted to the war department for review. Waco, Texas, Jan. 13—Lena Alexander, a negress, 19 years old, with her four baby girls born yesterday, will be photographed and the picture sent to President Roosevelt. The children are all perfectly formed and weigh five pounds each. The husband of the negress, Ernest Alexander, has three sets of twin brothers and sisters. Tennessee has granted a charter to the Pythian Bank Trust Company of Shelby County. This bank, together with the beautiful seven story temple of the Knights in New Orleans, show that the Pythians are making initiations in finance something harder even than the floor of their lodge rooms. Following suit, some of the older orders of goat riders are apparently taking notice. A match between Sam McVey and Tano Matsuda which was to settle the comparative advantages of boxing and jui-jitsu was held recently, but it did not last ten seconds. The Negro hit the Japanese, knocking him down and then hit him again while he was on the floor, as allowed by the rules. Then the Japanese gave up. McVey is nearly six feet tall and weighs 200 pounds. The Japanese is nearly as tall, but far slighter. He is considered to be one of the best jiu jitsu teachers in London. NO.19 Washington, Jan. 19. — Senator Milton of Florida has introduced a bill prohibiting the marriage of white persons to Negroes in the District of Columbia or in any Territory of the United States and making issue of such marriage, if any, incapable of inheritance. The bill prescribes a penalty for such intermarriage and defines the word "Negro." It also prescribes a penalty for any person performing such a marriage ceremony. Kansas City, Mo., January, 17 Eight men of Stevens County, Kansas, were indicted by the Federal Grand Jury in Kansas City, Kan., today on the charge that they employed night rider tactics to rid their community of "Major" Stokes and his niece, colored. The technical charge is intimidation and depriving the plaintiffs of their constitutional rights. Stokes an ex-slave, and his niece, were members of a small colored colony near Hugoton, Kan. Columbus, O., Jan. 19.—Zackariah R. Jackson, one of the best known colored men of the State, retired Thursday, from the position of messenger in the office of State Treasurer which he has filled continuously for the past 13 years. During the period the records shows that he has carried $160,000, 000 from banks to the treasury and in the transmission of that vast sum not one single penny was ever misplaced. Mr. Jackson was appointed by Treasurer S. N. Campbell and reappointed by Treasurers I. B. Cameron and W. S. McKinnan, has served under four treasurers. He has a wide acquaintance among public men and financiers throughout the State. He has been signally honored by his people, having served four years as grand master of the colored Odd Fellows of Ohio. Cincinnati, Ohio, is to have a new colored theatre, and it will be called The Pekin. A company has been formed known as the Pekin Amusement Company, of which Ollie Dempsey is president and W. H. Smith, late manager of the Pekin Theatre, Chicago, Ill., is general manager. It is the intention of the company to operate moving picture theatres in other cities. The new theatre will be located at 542-26 West Fifth street, and a long lease has been secured on the building. It will open for business about February 1. Workmen are busy putting the place in shape. The bill will consist of moving pictures and illustrated songs. Ollie Dempsey is a native Cincinnati and has been engaged in business a number of years.

Senator Twining has introduced, at the request of the State Board of Health, the bill prepared by that board, giving the pure food commissioner all the power that he has found he lacked under the operation of the existing law. The bill proposes that the Board of Health shall have absolute jurisdiction over any kind of establishment or vehicle in which food is handled, even to the extent of controlling the fashion of dress of employees and inspecting them as to personal cleanliness. Besides tubercular and consumptive sufferers, those put under the ban are: Victims of smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet and yellow fever, bubonic plague, leprosy, measles and mumps, whooping cough and chicken pox, as well as other virulent and contagious diseases. The law applies to bakeries, canneries, packing and slaughter houses, dairies, creameries, cheese factories, confectioneries and meat markets. To insure against the employment of any diseased person, the State Board of Health is authorized to conduct frequent investigations and order changes. Basements or cellars must be paved with some nonabsorbent flooring and flushed with water daily. All utensils used in the manufacture and preparation of food must be washed daily. Toilet rooms must be separated from places where food is manufactured and prepared. Personal cleanliness must be observed by employees.

The Beshoar-Barela Contest The Senate committee on privileges and elections began the examination of witnesses in the Beshoar-Barela contest on Wednesday, holding day and night sessions. Many witnesses were examined. The principal claim of the contestor is that the county commissioners of Las Anamis county failed to select for Democratic judges the persons designated by the Democratic county chairman. It was sought to be shown, however, that because the commissioners failed to do this, the Democratic party did not have proper representation at the November election. Game Laws Will Have Attention. Game laws will occupy a good part of the time of some of the members of both houses for the next week or two. Attacks are being made on the private park, gun license and other provisions of the present law, and many bills for amendments have been introduced. Four of these were presented to the House Tuesday. Sportsmen from many of the counties of the state are in the city to attend the meeting of the State Sportsmen's Association, at which these matters will be considered. '79-ERS GATHER AT LEADVILLE BIG CELEBRATION OF CARBONATE CAMPS THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY. CITY IN GALA ATTIRE CITY IN GALA ATTIRE MARVELOUS CHANGES WILL GREET THE VISION OF OLD-TIMERS. Leadville.—Every incoming train is bringing in its little party of former Leadvilleites who have strayed away from the great carbonate camp, but who are here to exchange reminiscences with associates of thirty years ago upon the strenuous happenings of the early days. Manager S. D. Nicholson, of the Western Mining Company, has completed the task of opening the Wolftone shaft for the reception and entertainment of the visitors. The old timers will for a few hours be his guests at a most unique entertainment 100 feet below the surface of the earth. He has chartered a special train on the Denver & Rio Grande which will convey the visitors from the city to the mine on Carbonate hill. The giant hoist will lower the people to the station, where the entertainment will take place. This station has been boarded up almost to resemble a room of the house. The walls have been painted and decorated and except for the opening, which leads into the drift of the mine, it could easily be mistaken for a well appointed hall. Myriads of incandescent lights have been artistically arranged so as to brilliantly illuminate the place. Bunting and flags from a prominent part in the decorations. A piano will be taken into the mine, which will furnish the accompaniments for an octette of young ladies who will sing popular airs. In the hotel lobbies and at various places the returning seventy-niners are swapping stories of their early day experiences. Many tales that in the rush of events of those exciting times were overlooked or blue penciled by the newspapers of those days are now coming to light for the first time, but in the lapse of years they have been tinged with the probable inaccuracy that goes with being dormant in the minds of their relatives for so long. Weld County Land Increases in Value. Refusing $96,000 for his land holdings in the Crow creek valley two years ago, which was considered poor judgment, F. B. Grable of Fort Collins is now over $300,000 richer because of delay in selling, having disposed of his property there for $400,000. The old Camfield ranch was a part of the Grable property and it, with territory closely adjoining, was sold to eastern parties. Later other lands were bought by Iowa men already settled on their small farms, or who will be by spring. Tuesday 100 land seekers from Denver, Greeley and surrounding country and from the East were in the Crow creek valley looking for farms. Two Denver men have profited by buying in this locality, lately brought to special notice by the fact that the Union Pacific branch line will traverse it. They are W. W. Louden and F. P. Newman, the former a grocer, who purchased eighteen sections of land for $11,000 two years ago. They paid for it on the installment plan and sometimes had difficulty in meeting their payments, for which they made considerable sacrifices. This week the land went on the market to ready buyers at $35 to $40 an acre and the Denver men are confident of netting over $300,000 on the deal. Rich Copper Strike in Larimer County. Fort Collins.—A strike of rich copper, said to exceed in value anything ever before made in this section, and probably anywhere in the state, was made Tuesday about seventeen miles northwest of here, in the Poudre canon. While climbing about the hills Fred and Harry Epperley, sons of H E. Epperley, who have charge of the city water works plant near the place, made the find. The ore assays 90 per cent, copper, News of the strike has created excitement, several people from Laporte and Bellvue have gone to the scene and other parties are being made up to go. The lead cropped out plainly and with little work the boys found a vein about a foot wide, with indications of permanency. Pieces of the croppings issued $29 to $30 per ton. Miners at Laporte who have worked in many camps in the West went to the scene and declared it to be the best copper find they ever saw. The student body of the University of Colorado at Boulder will shortly offer a prize of $20 as an impetus for an original university song. Frank Catania, convicted of the murder of Deputy Sheriff Tony Shelby at Aguilar last April, was on Tuesday at Trinidad sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Olathe citizens were surprised Wednesday by seeing a deer chase through the streets of the town. The dogs following the animal, a young doe, were beaten off and it was rescued alive.

A recent test of the propellers to be used in a flying machine invented by J. M. Cage at Denver, though interrupted by an accident, is claimed to have shown that the propellers will furnish abundance of power to lift and propel the machine. The Modern Woodmen national sanitarium in Colorado Springs may embrace the largest tent colony in the world, as a result of action by big camps of that order in this country in subscribing money for maintenance of tents at the colony. Several Chicago Modern Woodmen camps recently gave $250 each for that purpose. At a meeting in Pueblo the Elks' Reunion Association of Colorado selected as the date for the annual gathering next October 12th, 13th and 14th, in Pueblo. The committee changed a custom which has hitherto been followed in having the state gatherers before the national conventions of the lodge and the one this year will be in the fall some time after the meeting at Los Angeles. At Pueblo Sunday Clarence J. Stetson, aged fifty-seven years, a prominent Democrat and president of the Arkansas Valley club, was found dead in bed at 6 o'clock in the morning by his little son, with whom he was sleeping. Mr. Stetson was employed for years as chief engineer of the Pueblo water works, having come to Pueblo in 1874. He was formerly chairman of the Democratic county central committee and was active in politics. Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, retired, known all over the country as "Fighting Bob," will give a lecture at Colorado Springs probably March 10th, under the auspices of an Eastern Lyceum bureau, on "From Hampton Roads to San Francisco, in Command of the Atlantic Fleet."

Bryan is the real name of the man who died at Colorado Springs recently from a hemorrhage of the brain as a result of a fall. He was born near Denver forty-seven years ago and participated in many Indian fights. His mother, brother and sister, were killed in an Indian raid, and Bryan, then two years old, was taken by settlers to Denver, where he grew to early manhood. He lived nearly all his life in this state. No relatives have been found. C. & N. W. Waiting for Spring. The Colorado & Northwestern's line to Ward has been abandoned for the winter, on account of the snow, which has been so exceptionally heavy that the snowplow on that division has been demolished trying to cope with it. A plow is being operated daily on the Eldora line, where the going is the hardest in years. The snowslides have greatly disarranged the long distance lines of the Colorado Telephone Company in the mountain districts, especially between Carbondale and Basalt, Silverton and Ouray and Denver and Grand Junction. The company is rushing repairs. The schools at Evans opened again Monday, after being closed for three weeks because of the diphtheria scare. William H. Burnett, builder of the Pueblo stock yards, died Tuesday, aged sixty-one. OFTEN THE CASE. Women Struggle Hopelessly Along, Suffering Backache, Dizzy Spells, Languer, Etc.

Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. REALLY HAD NO KICK COMING. According to Expert Opinion, Playwright Had Got Off Easy. That Beerbohm Tree, the player, has a caustic wit is evidenced by an incident wherein he and an unknown playwright figured. The writer had obtained permission to read his offering to Tree. The actor evinced no great degree of enthusiasm, either during or after the reading; but he did take the manuscript, upon which he scribbled hastily a few suggestions for its betterment. "See here, Mr. Tree," was the indignant ejaculation of the ambitious playwright, "it's hardly fair of you to dispose of my work in this summary and nonchalant fashion. I'd have you know that this play cost me a year's hard labor!" "So?" queried Tree. "My dear fellow, any impartial judge would give you at least five!"—Harper's Weekly. AN IMPROVEMENT. A new Hallowe'en game, in which a peach is used instead of an apple. A. Slight Misunderstanding: Little Helen Bentley of Los Angeles, aged five, dearly loves her grandma, who has been living with her and her parents. Recently grandma went to Seattle for a visit, and caught cold on the way. When she arrived there, she wrote back to Helen's parents that she had reached Seattle, but had had a hard fight with the grip. Helen wanted to hear what grandma had to say, and the letter was read to her. Soon afterward she saw one of her neighbors, and exclaimed: "Oh, Mrs. Smith, we've had a letter from grandma. She got to Seattle all right, but she had a terrible fight with her valise." Editorial Verdict. From a serious-minded jester the editor received this note, together with a consignment of humor that was heavy enough to go by freight: "Dear Sir: I read all these jokes to my wife, and she laughed heartily.

Modern Buildings Inferior In modern buildings the cement and mortar are the weakest points; in the buildings which the Romans and Greeks raised thousands of years ago the cement and mortar are the strongest points, and hold good while the very stones they bind together crumble away with age. With all our science we can not make such cement and mortar, and, therefore, we can not construct such buildings as the ancients raised. JOY WORK And the Other Kind. Did you ever stand on a prominent corner at an early morning hour and watch the throngs of people on their way to work? Noting the number who were forcing themselves along because it meant their daily bread, and the others cheerfully and eagerly pursuing their way because of love of their work. It is a fact that one's food has much to do with it. As an example: If an engine has poor oil, or a boiler is fired with poor coal, a bad result is certain, isn't it? Treating your stomach right is the keystone that sustains the arch of health's temple and you will find "Grape-Nuts" as a daily food is the most nourishing and beneficial you can use We have thousands of testimonials, real genuine little heart throbs, from people who simply tried Grape-Nuts out of curiosity—as a last resort—with the result that prompted the testimonial. If you have never tried Grape-Nuts it's worth while to give it a fair impartial trial. Remember there are millions eating Grape-Nuts every day—they know, and we know if you will use Grape-Nuts every morning your work is more likely to be joy-work, because you can keep well, and with the brain well nourished work is a joy.

(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) THE RAW FOOD FAD. There was a time before the discovery of fire, when all food was eaten uncooked. And extreme advocates of naturalism hold that we err seriously in cooking our food to-day. The animals, they say, are perfectly healthy without cooks. There is, they insist, a peculiar vital force in the natural food which cooking destroys. We can not improve upon nature's sun-cooking methods, says the raw food advocate It is claimed that raw food cures disease, especially digestive difficulties. Much credible testimony is offered in support of this claim, and at least two physicians in New York announce uncooked food as their principal therapeutic agency. Can it be true that cooking is a mistake? The logical answer is, in the light of all facts, yes and no. To the argument that cooking is unnatural, and therefore wrong, the reply is, that all the means of civilization are unnatural, artificial. Soap is unnatural. Electric light is unnatural. Steam heat is unnatural. Houses are unnatural. Only savagery is natural—and even the savage does not live altogether naturally, like the animals. In the last analysis, the only natural acts are the sub-conscious—those things that we do without premeditation, without knowing why we do them; such as breathing, pulsating, digesting, sleeping. These may be termed the vegetative acts, the fundamental means by which life is maintained—they are, in a word, nutrition, life. A plant performs all of these acts, and others implied. All animals perform them. Man only knows that he performs them. Man is conscious. He has another life, the objective or conscious. I know that the process of digestion is going on in me now. I know, objectively, consciously, that that process is vegetative. I know that in becoming conscious of it, I am in danger of injuring it. I would not make a child of three as conscious of its processes of digestion as I am; that would certainly be possibly fatal. Now, man is superior to the lowest animal, to the plant, indeed, only in proportion as he lives more, not merely vegetatively, sub-consciously, for all plants and animals do that, but in proportion as he knows, reasons and wills. The mind, the conscious mind, the knowing power—that is the measure of the man. The means by which we live the conscious, the objective life, are the means of civilization. The plant, the animal, may enjoy the light of the sun, subjectively, as well as I, but I know—to a degree, for only God knows all—I know what the sun is; and when it sets, I call it back—I turn on the electric light, which is yesterday's sunlight, stored in the plant, turned into coal, which is transmuted into electric energy, and that into light. Electric light is artificial, but it is good. To-day I advised the use of an electric therapeutic lamp, in a case of anemia, with proper feeding to furnish iron, and vibratory treatment. These are all "artificial" means of cure. The electric light is a substitute for sunlight; vibration is artificial exercise, and the scientific (knowing or objective as distinct from subjective or natural)—the scientific choice of food is artificial, but these artificial means are natural—they are the same means in concentrated form that nature uses. Therefore, we may say that the artificial is natural. It is urged by the advocates of the omnivorous diet that the human system has acquired a wonderful power of adaptation, that it has become adapted to the diet we now follow, and that, therefore, a return to the simple diet would be injurious; that the system is adapted to cooked food and that, therefore, uncooked food would be harmful. It is true that we are temporarily adapted to an irregular diet, not permanently. Experiments made under my direction and by myself show that the system quickly re-adjusts itself to a monodiet, and that improved health and working capacity result in every case. The same has invariably been the result of living on uncooked food, except cereals or spoiled fruit or meat. Of course sudden changes may work temporary injury and an incomplete ration can never be satisfactory. The fact that uncooked cereals are indigestible agrees with the theory that nuts are the natural staple diet, for nuts contain little or no starch, but much fat as milk does. Wheat is a substitute for nuts; its starch needs cooking and it lacks fat. The essential element of food, of all animals, is albumen. Flesh is chiefly albumen. The food of the amoeba, the one-celled animal, which is typical of all animal life, is albumen. Albumen is the warp of the blood from which all tissues are built. The amoeba absorbs its food from the water in which it lives, and that albumen must be in its natural state; If furnished only cooked albumen, it will die. Now, the blood cells are essentially amoeba, and their natural food is natural albumen. Albumen coagulates at a temperature of 160 degrees, becoming, to use a popular term, leathery and unsuitable for cell food. It is for this reason partly, that a large percentage of albumen is found in the excreta from whole wheat bread, as stated in a preceding article. It is for this reason, partly, that while a raw egg digests in one hour a hard-bolled egg requires three. Natural albumen is quickly converted in the stomach by the action of pepsin and hydrochloric acid into soluble. This peptone cannot be coagulated by heat, and easily passes through animal membranes; that is, it is easily absorbed in the intestinal canal. But when it is already coagulated by heat before it is conveyed to the stomach, it cannot be converted into a non-coagulable, soluble peptone; it cannot become assimilable cell food. Of course the coagulation by heat is rarely complete, even in roasted foods, but any temperature above 160 is injurious. For instance, a child cannot be properly nourished on boiled milk. The heat that kills the bacteria also kills the nutritive value of the albumen. No one experienced in infant feeding advises boiled milk; some object even to pasteurizing. This, however, requires a much lower temperature. Heat is the most destructive of all agents. It is the means most commonly used in the laboratory to separate the elements of a chemical compound, to decompose or destroy matter. Digestion is a process of chemical change, but when chemical changes are effected in advance by heat, the conditions are changed, and digestive results cannot be the same as if the food were unfired. Cereals contain an enzyme which digests the starch for the young plant; heat destroys this. While the starch cells of cereals are being broken up by cooking, so as to open them to the action of the digestive fluids, the albumen is being coagulated and the digestive principle in the enzyme destroyed. I have already indicated in the analysis of bread the importance of the mineral elements of food, the absence of any one of which alone may cause serious illness. The majority of authorities on the chemistry of nutrition agree that mineral food can be conveyed to the cells only by passing from the soil into the plant or the animal and thence to the blood cells, from the food. Now, just as heat decomposes matter in the laboratory, fire decomposes the food in the boiler or oven, precipitating, in many cases, the mineral elements, which are thrown away in the water, or being unassimilable, partly or entirely, are wholly or largely excreted. An uncooked egg, for example, will not tarnish a silver spoon, but the sulphur set free by boiling will form a new compound with the silver. The different odors of cooked foods are, in some cases, due to chemical changes, just as we produce them in the laboratory. In some cases the chemical and mechanical changes produced by firing make some elements of the food, aside from the albumen, already dealt with, very indigestible. Raw cabbage, for instance, is digestible in an hour, and is very nutritious, but boiled cabbage is extremely indigestible and worthless, except as a relish. Roasted beans produce sulphuretted hydrogen in the intestine. Poisonous compounds may be formed when several foods are mixed. As the roasting of albumen in meat or peanuts causes an odor and flavor enticing to the abnormal appetite, so many odors driven off from foods by heat encease an unnatural appetite, leading to over-eating and unnatural eating. The cooking of food is, if it be unnecessary, a serious economic error. It entails a vast waste of energy and time on the part of the housewife and makes the maintenance of a household a far greater burden on the part of the provider. As I have said in advising an improvement in the dietary, changes should be made slowly and only after due deliberation, but change should always be made if one is satisfied that change would be beneficial. "Fireless cooking" is beneficial to the degree that it reduces the amount of heat used in preparing a meal and a "fireless cooker" ought to be as indispensable in every kitchen as is the sewing machine. It also saves time and mental expenditure in watching to avoid excessive boiling. If one is satisfied that a change would be beneficial, the wise course is, not to remain in the old rut, but to make the change in the best way. Wu Ting Fang, the imperial Chinese ambassador at Washington, evidently thinks so—and does so. He says: "If I had known ten years ago the uncooked food doctrine and the natural life I would not have one gray hair on my head. Joking aside, since I have adopted this natural diet and life, I am not only cured of my former complaints, but I feel stronger, healthier and younger in spirit. I feel 20 years younger and I attribute it all to my reformed diet, together with a reasonable amount of physical exercise." This great man, recognized as one of the most brilliant statesmen of the day, the cleverest after-dinner speaker at Washington, a most enterprising and progressive man, did not hesitate to quit the Chinaman's national beverage when he realized that it is, like coffee, injurious. His excellency eats no meat and only two meals a day, omitting breakfast. We think we are progressive, but we may be able to take a lesson from the learned and wise Chinaman. Gossip of Washington What Is Going On at the National Capital. New Ships to Make Our Navy Lead All Alcohol School Opened by Government Hearty Welcome for "Joe" Blackburn Hearty Welcome for "Joe" Blackburn Mint "Makes Money" for Your Uncle Sam Mint "Makes Money" for Your Uncle Sam WASHINGTON.—The navy department experts figure that the United States navy will be the first in rank in the world when the four new battleships proposed by Secretary Newberry have been completed. The approximate time of the completion of these ships is the close of the year 1911. By that date there will have been completed these four: The Delaware and Dakota and the Florida and Utah. The specific points made by the experts, however, is that the four new ships which have been suggested are to be of 25,000-tons displacement each and will carry eight 14-inch guns. Such a squadron of battleships will be unlike and superior to anything in naval history, both as to displacement and to main battery. The astounding but absolutely true statement is made by the navy experts that the 14-inch guns will be effective at ten miles. It is also stated by these experts that Great Britain, after the appropriation by congress for the four proposed battleships, will never be able to regain its lead in modern battleships over the United States England's greatest proposed battleship, the Fondroyant, is, according to the details in the United States naval bureau of intelligence, inferior to the Florida or the Utah. U.S. ALCOHOL SCHOOL ME FER EDUCATION THE government has now opened its alcohol school in the city of Washington for the instruction of the people of the United States in proper methods of making and using the de-natured product. For this purpose a model still has been erected close by the department of agriculture which is big enough to work up 25 bushels of corn a day, converting that quantity of grain into 75 gallons of 95 per cent. alcohol—that is to say, 95 per cent. pure. The plant represents the smallest outfit that can be conducted profitably on a commercial scale. The farmers cannot very well see it for themselves, so arrangements have been made by which they may learn about it. Agricultural experts from the experiment stations in every one of the states are to go to Washington, examine the alcohol-making outfit, see how it works and listen to a course of lectures explaining its management. It will be their business when they go home to teach the farmers how to put up and how to operate plants of this character. WASHINGTON JOE BLACKBURN T is pleasant to have Senator Blackburn back in our midst again, to see his great, stalwart form swinging through the streets, to meet his semicynical, semi-humorous smile and to feel his hearty hand clasp, but it is difficult to think of him in any environment save that of the senate chamber where he passed so many years. There has never been a member of that distinguished body more frankly, more genuinely and generally popular than "Joe" Blackburn. No matter how widely one differed with him in politics, it was impossible not to like him, for there is nothing about him to dislike. He is a prince of good fellows, a generous friend and a magnanimous foe. When the battle is on he fights with all the fight there is in him, but he is as quick to forgive MINT PROFITS THE director of the mint has "made money" for the United States in more ways than one. He is rejoicing because the government made a profit during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1908, of $10,541,371 on the coinage of silver, nickel and one-cent bronze pieces. This represents the difference between the price paid by the government for the metals and their coinage value The report that Great Britain was building a 13.5 gun has been run down by the naval authorities here and they state that it is not true. It is also stated that there is no foundation whatever for the report that Germany is building, or projecting even, five battleships, each of which is to carry 12 12-inch guns. It is admitted now that the United States stands second on the list of naval powers, and this is largely because the United States naval relative power depends on modern ships against which twenty or more of the British so-called battleships do not count and are not to be taken into count, because not one of them could approach within five miles of any of the United States battleships even of the Alabama class. Above that class in the United States are the South Carolina, Michigan and, of course, the American Dreadnaughts are all above that class. In other words, the United States has ship for ship, built and building, better and more powerful ships than Great Britain has built and is building for the next three years. The navy department confidently expects to see the prediction of the experts realized in 1911 and the United States will, lead the world in naval power. The experts declare that when the statement is made that Great Britain has at the present time 54 battleships against 29 of the United States, it only means an apparent numerical excess and that when the ships are compared one with the other, there are more dead or obsolete types and classes in the British navy than in any other navy. Inasmuch as such a plant could not be erected for less than $2,500 it is obvious that the ordinary farmer would not be able to afford to construct one of the kind. But—and here is the point—a group of farmers representing a small neighborhood might do so. Then they would bring their cornstalks and other such refuse to the "mill" and receive in return the alcohol. It is a simple method which farmers have long been accustomed to adopt where flour and other necessaries were concerned. The farmers are eager to find a cheap source of energy. Nowadays multitudes of them use gasolene for such purposes as grinding feed, cutting fodder and running the corn sheller, circular saw, horse clipper and grindstone. A farm in these times is more or less of a factory. But gasolene is expensive. Alcohol is comparatively cheap, and when manufactured from the farmer's own vegetable refuse it would cost next to nothing. In France there are 27,000 farmer distillers who make alcohol for industrial purposes from molasses and sugar beets. It is high time that this idea was turned to profitable account in the United States. Rotten apples, frost-bitten potatoes, stale watermelons, cornstalks and cobs and every other kind of vegetable refuse are available for the purpose. and forget as he is to fight, and once the hatches is buried, it is never resurrected. It was with regret that Mr. Blackburn left the senate, but he has been almost as happy in his new field as on his old stamping ground and in the short year and a half of his service as one of the commissioners of the lathism canal he has become as popular in Panama as he was in Washington, and the style of life in the old Spanish city is especially pleasing to the silver-tongued Kentuckian. As everybody knows the United States government houses the public servants in Panama in magnificent style. The state in which they live, indeed, approaches that formerly enjoyed by the Spanish grandees in that part of the world, and the role of a Spanish grandee admirably suits the former senator from the Bluegrass state, who is so adjustable and so versatile that he is always at home no matter what his surroundings and so much at home is he in Panama that his friends both here and there hope he will be allowed to remain during "good behavior." The original deposits of gold bullion in the mints and assay offices during the fiscal year amounted to $207,415,984 and uncurrent United States gold coin of the face value of $4,020,668 was received for recoinage. Silver bullion purchased for subsidiary silver coinage during the year aggregated 18,819,279 standard ounces, and mutilated and uncurrent United States silver coin of the face value of $1,162,982 was recoined. The coinage executed by the mints during the fiscal year 1908 amounted to $197,238,377 in gold, of which $106.182,420 were in double eagles, and $4.829,060 in eagles of the designs prepared by the American sculptor, the late Augustus Sain Gaudens. The amount of subsidiary silver coin executed was $16,530,477.

REVIVAL times awaken anew the religious spirit among Christian people and inspire new efforts looking to an improvement in their life principles. Sometimes objections are heard to these periodical outbursts of zeal as indicating the lack of a permanent devotion to religious ideals, but after all they can do no less than to keep people reminded of the weakness of human nature and the need for reliance upon powers greater than our own. Thus the movement recently started in Cleveland, Ohio, in which the young people of the Christian Endeavor, Young People's Baptist Union and other kindred organizations devoted a period of two weeks to living as they thought Jesus would live, in each individual's circumstances, has been judged a success, and is spreading to other sections of the country. The united effort, consistently followed for a given period, surely creates higher ideals in the minds of many who participate in it, and must therefore leave its effect upon an entire community. It is charitable at least to believe that most people acknowledge their moral improvement to be possible, but the general habits of life do not encourage that constant effort which is necessary to improvement, without these awakenings. Possibly some settled convictions entirely inconsistent with Christian professions, are in this manner outgrown, for moral as well as material progress is slow of growth. Every effort toward moral improvement is worth while.

The shadow of probable events is beginning to make such a devoutly wished for consummation look like an inevitable necessity. Up to almost the present time the trend of public sentiment and the stress of settled political policies have made such a thing seem quite impossible. Ever since the enfranchisement of the Negro, the white man of the South has made him an issue and sought to eliminate and efface him as a political factor in the nation. The white man of the North has accepted this issue as a sentimental policy, while devoting his wider energies to the development of a more practicable and more reasonable line of national activity. The Negro, imbued naturally with the belief that the outcome of this difference between the white men of the two sections was vital, not only to his citizenship, but to the continuance of his liberty, has been unable to see anything else, in all the varied affairs of the nation, so important as the absolute rejection and annihilation of this insistent, Southern-bred phantasm. Thus has one war issue lived, even in the grave, for more than thirty years. Now the clearly expressed policies of President-elect Taft, preached right in the heart of the South, and listened to with no great dissent and with many evidences of real satisfaction by Southerners who are already, or will soon be, leaders of new public thought, seem to be awakening the South to a sense of time uselessly lost and greater things sacrificed. "Peace without dishonor" is the mutual basis of proposed agreement between the two white brothers, with the deeper assurance to the black brothers (though paradoxical and harder to understand), that all three are to gain what they have so long fought for. The Negro's equal right of franchise is to be accepted; the Negro, as a political issue, is to be eliminated; unto himself and his own political future, at least, the Negro is to be let alone. The two white brothers have more important business to attend to. The black brother wants peace and a chance to work his way. There is the basis of the compromise and the foundation upon which all three are to build. It is practical, possible any by every rule of logic inevitable. It is a policy which calls for sacrifices on all sides, and therefore will be slow of adoption. The North will yield much to the South in social ideas, as it has always been willing to do. The South will enact and enforce fair and undiscriminating laws establishing and defining an intelligent electorate. The Negro will give up his present political attitude in the nation, and the present few greater rewards for an increased minor representation. Upon his own interests, industrial and commercial and his own political intelligence, just as the white man, the Negro will find himself more and more depending, and though the prospect may at first look dark and disquieting, it will be for the best.

For some reason, as yet undiscovered, red hair has always been considered as possessing special properties not to be encouraged. Red-headed girls, from earliest history, have been talked of and treated as not quite like other women and liable at any time to occasion more or less trouble. The color is probably responsible for this general belief. Angels are usually thought of as being blonde and devils are dark; the quiet, domestic little woman is mouse-colored, and the positive, wideawake, assertive person has red hair. It is the instinctive association of ideas caused sometimes by experience, but more often by sensation. lished, a few years ago, an extremely interesting and complexion, and stated that, from statistics were not so creative as the darker races, but the The iron in their constitution, which is largely of hair, makes them very active, independent endurance.

While the mechanical side of common school education has been mastered in this country, the teaching and moral and physical sides have fallen into "dry rot," and a renaissance is necessary if the country is to combat the evils that are creeping into common life. No sacrifice is too great to save the bodies and souls of children. Once men predominated as teachers and the rod was not spared. Now we have what is called a "saccharine benignity" in force.

There are 600 convicts at present. They arise at 6 a.m. and work till 2 p.m. for the state cultivating cotton of a superfine quality. After two o'clock they work for themselves. The island is one of the most orderly and productive bits of soil in Brazil. It is a model convict colony and the cheapest run of any in the world. The group of islands to which the penal one belongs is where the equatorial and south equatorial currents divide, and it is surrounded by a triangular sheet of quiet sea, full of all kinds of fish, valuable commercially. As convict labor may be had at ten cents a day there is opportunity for fine fishing concessions there. It is regarded as a first-class location for a coaling station. The islands also have valuable phosphate deposits. For each 100 pounds of hams make a pickle of ten pounds of salt, two pounds of brown sugar, two ounces of saltpeter, one ounce of red pepper and from four to four and a half gallons of water, or just enough to cover the hams after being packed in a water-tight vessel, or enough salt to make a brine to float a fresh egg high enough, that is to say, out of water. First rub the hams with common salt and lay them in a tub. Take the above ingredients, put them into a vessel over the fire and heat it hot, stirring it frequently; remove all scum, allow it to boil, take it out, let it cool and pour over meat. After laying in this brine five or six weeks, take out, drain and wipe, and smoke from two to three weeks. This is the way to cure it. Value of Free Discussion.

That the Alliance is again coming into its own under its new administration was plainly evidenced last Sunday by the great outpouring of people in spite of unfavorable weather and the splendid program that greeted them. C. S. Muse, a favorite with Denver audiences, was the speaker of the day and delivered a brief, but pointed, address on "Cheer and Contentment." In the general discussion that followed many points were brought out to prove that the Negro needed no encouragement to be more cheerful, but on the other hand to be more serious and more sober in the affairs of life. Rev. Griffith of Zion made a short talk and sang one of his beautiful compositions, to the great delight of the audience. The following program for Sunday, January 31st: Vocal solo, Miss Frankie Buchanan; literary selection, Mrs. N. L. Douglas; vocal solo, Miss Eva Carter; address, "Humanity," Rabbi Friedman; vocal solo, Mrs. Lillian Jones. The Alliance meets at 1712 Curtis street at 4 p. m. Everybody is invited to be present.

Addie Dealer in- Choice old California Wines and Brandies from the Hermitage Vineyard; also Bottled Beer, Kentucky Whisky, Cigars and Tobacco :: :: :: :: 228 Sixteenth Street Telephone: 2675 HAD TOO MUCH INTELLIGENCE Usefulness of Marvelous Incubators Ended by "Scrap." "Speaking about incubators," drawled old Jeff Weatherby, in the back of Jason's general store, "remains me of the wonderful chicken hatchers built by the Hains boys. Bill Hains invented the most marvelous incubator ever seen in these parts. It not only hatched the chickens out, but it actually shielded the little chicks from a hawk just like an old hen. Then Pete Hains got busy and went one better. He built an incubator with a phonograph arrangement that would 'cluck-cluck' to the chicks and scratch up worms for them." "Whew!" gasped the starch drummer. "I have heard a lot of yarns, but that is the limit. What became of these wonderful incubators?" "Busted, stranger, busted all to bits. You see them that incubators were so intelligent they soon grew jealous of one another and first thing you know there was a scrap to equal any game chicken fight that ever come off. When it was over both were only fit for the junk heap. Thanks, stranger, I'll take a cigar." FEW DIAMONDS ARE SMUGGLED. Amount So Brought In Has No Effect on the Market. "Very few diamonds are smuggled into this country now, whatever may have been the case in former days," declared an agent of a large jewelry house who makes a yearly trip to Europe to purchase precious stones. "The amount that is brought in without duty is so small as to have no effect on the market. Uncut diamonds are not taxed. The duty on cut stones is but ten per cent. Amsterdam, Holland, is the great market for diamonds. Nearly all the New York dealers who import buy from that city. Eighty per cent. of the 'diamond cutting for the world is done in Amsterdam. Few small diamonds are cut in New York city. There are almost no facilities here for doing the work. The experienced cutters at Amsterdam can turn out the work cheaper than it can be done on this side of the water even when the customs duty is added to the rates paid the Holland manufacturers. Large diamonds, about three-quarters of a carat, are cut here, but most of this work is recutting for the changes in style of setting." Surprise for Lodge-Keeper. Surprise for Lodge-Keeper: It was a former archbishop of York —Dr. Thomson—who appeared once in the role of coachman. He had attended an evening party, and, on leaving the house, discovered that his coachman was drunk. There appeared nothing for it but to drive home himself, and the archbishop, after placing the smiling but unconscious coachman inside the carriage, mounted the box and took the reins. The monotony of the homeward journey was broken by a wheel of the carriage coming into violent collision with a stone just outside the entrance to Bishopsthorpe. The lodge-keeper, unable to recognize the approaching figure in the darkness,' called out cheerily: "Hallo, Bill, drunk again!—and blowed if you ain't got the old cock's hat on!" "It's the old cock himself," gravelly responded his grace.—San Francisco Argonaut. Quaint Old Penys There were worse errors than the matinee hat for the man who sat behind a woman in the seventeenth century theater. Pepys wrote that January 28, 1661, he saw "The Lost Lady" for the second time. Nine days earlier that play had not pleased him much—partly, perhaps, because he was "troubled to be seen by four of our office clerks, which sat in the half-crown box, and I in the 15, 6d." But on the second occasion the play did "please me better, than before; and here, I sitting behind in a dark place, a lady spit backward upon me by a mistake, not seeing me." However, it was all right, for, "after seeing her to be a very pretty lady, I was not troubled at it at all." Unsatisfactory Experiment. There is a couple in Atchison known to be engaged to be married. The man was recently called out of town on an important business trip, and no sooner reached his destination, 500 miles away, than he received a telegram from his girl to return at once. He did so and found she had sent the telegram to "try" him, to see if he would "do anything" for her, as he had claimed. She is satisfied now that he loves her, but he isn't quite satisfied when he thinks of the worry and expense that he was put to, and will ask to be released from the engagement.—Atchison Globe. Historical Relic. The visitors in the historical museum gazed curiously at a small feather pillow which nestled in a glass case. "I don't see anything unusual about that pillow," remarked one of the visitors, turning to the guide. "It's a very valuable pillow," re plied the guide. "That is Washington's original headquarters."—Lippincott's. New Light on Evolution. "Your clothes seem a trifle large for you," remarked the abrupt person.

On the other side it has been popular for years, especially in France and Hungary. A tray is brought the hostess, bearing the coffee urn, a silver bowl with a wide mouth, a small ladle, bowl of loaf sugar, a little dish of whole spices, cloves, cinnamon and cassia buds, and another with the peel of a mandarin orange minced fine. There is also a little flask of brandy. The hostess, counting noses, puts into the wide-mouthed bowl a lump of sugar for each person, then the cloves, cinnamon and orange peel. Over this a little brandy is poured, which is then lighted and allowed to burn until the alcohol has all disappeared. During this burning it must be occasionally stirred. As soon as the flame has disappeared the coffee, black and strong is poured in until the bowl is full. A final stir and this is ladled out into after dinner coffee cups. TO TELL WHEN MEAT IS DONE. Scientific Device Worthy a Place in Every Kitchen. Cooks are accustomed to cut into a piece of meat when cooking, to prod vegetables with a fork, and to use similar primitive methods of ascertaining the stage to which the roasting or boiling process has advanced. The first really scientific device to measure the temperature inside a piece of cooking food has recently been invented in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is called a "thermo needle," and consists of a thin metal tube, pointed at one end and containing a spring held in tension by an alloy melting at a specified temperature, which is that desired for cooking. The melting of this alloy releases the spring and shoots up a pin as a signal that the desired temperature exists in the interior of the food into which the "needle" has been thrust. As the instrument is withdrawn, the pin is pushed down and held while the fusible alloy "sets," when the device is ready for use again. INGREDIENTS FOR LIVER LOAF. Variety Needed. But the Finished Product Is Delicious. Soak a lamb's liver and heart in cold water until the blood is disgorged, then place a stewpan with one calf's tongue and one-half pound of lean fresh pork. Add one scant tea-spoonful salt, a dash of pepper, and tied together in a thin bit of muslin, four cloves, six allspice berries, and half of a bay leaf. Pour over barely enough boiling water to cover, and simmer gently four hours. Trim off all fat, tubes, and gristle, and chop fine. Add a little more salt if needed and a shake of pepper, and just enough of the hot liquor to moisten. Pack in a greased pan, cover with a plato and weight, let stand over night, when it will be ready to slice. It is the best way to let it cool in the liquor in which it was cooked before chopping. Stewed Spanish Onions. Two pounds of Spanish onions, one cupful of milk, one tablespoonful of flour, one tablespoonful of butter and seasoning of salt and pepper. Peel the onions, put them into a pan of boiling water and boil them until they are tender; they will take from one to two hours, according to their size. Next drain off the water. Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour smoothly, then add the milk, salt and pepper. Stir this over the fire until it boils and let it cook for five minutes. Now put in the onions, reheat them thoroughly and serve in a hot vegetable dish. Apple Pucker. Roll out your pie crust a little thicker than for a pie, line a granite or crockery basin with the crust, letting it fall over the sides of the basin to touch the table. Fill basin with sliced apples, sugar, pinch of salt; bits of butter, and cinnamon as for an apple pie. I put cinnamon through the middle and again over the top of the apples. Then pull the paste up over the apples, letting it pucker or come as it will, only don't let it meet. If there is too much paste cut it out so there will be a hole in the center as large as the bottom of your lamp chimney. Bake same as a pie. Do not use a large deep basin, but rather a shallow one. Potatoes Baked in Milk Pare and cut in thin slices crosswise one dozen potatoes, slice two large onions and add about one-half parsley. Put the whole into a granite pudding dish and cover with milk, putting pieces of butter on top. Bake in a hot oven for one-half hour. Salt and pepper should be added when served, as the milk is apt to curdle if it is added before cooking. This recipe is also good if canned tomatoes are used instead of milk. Italian Meat Balls. One pound of hamburger steak, one cup bread crumbs, one-half cup grated cheese, two eggs beaten until light, one tablespoon chopped parsley, salt and pepper; mix in balls size of an egg, then drop in soup stock, and boil ten minutes, and then add two beaten eggs, one spoon grated cheese, and stir in lastly for thickening; serve. Creamed Boiled Ham. The next time you have a boiled ham try cutting some of it in thin small bits and creaming like dried beef. This is a dish our English cousins are fond of and with baked potatoes makes an excellent luncheon.

New York.—Counsel for the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, owners of the White Star line steamer Republic, on Thursday filed a libel in the United States District Court against the steamer Florida, of the Lloyd-Italiano line, which ran down and sank the Republic of Nantucket lightship. Damages of $1,500,000 for the loss of the ship and $500,000 for the loss of cargo end effects of the passengers and crew were claimed. It was asserted in the libel that the collision was due to no fault on the part of Captain Sealby of the Republic, but wholly to the faults of the Florida, which, it was alleged, did not keep a proper course, had no sufficient lookout, did not give proper whistles nor pay heed to the whistles of the Republic, that the Florida failed to indicate her changes of helm, that she was proceeding at an immoderate speed, and did not stop or back her engines. The assertion was made that when the officers of the Republic first heard the wailers of the Florida in the fog, the Republic's engines were run full speed astern and that her helm was put aport. Shortly afterward the Florida appeared broad off the Republic's port side, tearing down at right angle below amidships. It was also asserted that at the time of the collision the Republic was running at reduced speed, that the captain, two officers, a quartermaster and a seaman were on the bridge, with two lookouts. The court is asked to condemn the Florida and order the payment of $2.000,000 damages to the owners of the Republic. The Lloyd-Italiano Societe De Navaritanite owners of the stemship Florida, also fled in the United States District Court a libel and petition for a limitation of liability against the Florida, her freight and passage money. The papers state that the collision was solely caused by the faults and neglect on the part of the Republic. The petitioners say that damage done the Florida now does not exceed $224,000, and asks the court to fix the liability at not more than that amount. After the filing of papers in the proceedings against the Florida, United States Marshal Henkle seized the Italian vessel under a writ of attachment. Stockmen Choose Denver. Los Angeles.—Denver was selected as the place of meeting of the next annual convention of the National Live Stock Association, which closed its sessions here Thursday. The following officers were unanimously re-elected: President, H. A. Jastro of Bakersfield; first vice president, Murdo Mackenzie, Trinidad, Colo. J. M. Carey of Cheyenne, Wyo., was elected second vice president, succeeding M. K. Parsons of Salt Lake. The other officers will be re-appointed by the executive committee. It was apparent before the assembling of the delegates today that the minority, representing the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers' Association, headed by Hon. E. M. Ammons, would make a strong fight in opposition to the report of the committee on resolutions in reference to the policy of federal administration of the public domain. As soon as the committee's report was read Ammons offered an amendment and vigorously urged its adoption. He was supported by Congressman Taylor and Mr. Rhodes of Colorado. He withdrew a portion of the amendment and it was then defeated by an overwhelming vote, the committee's report being adopted. The principal resolutions indorsed the Curtis-Scott land bill providing for federal control of lands with leasing privileges to the stockmen; the Culberson bill for the improvement of railroad service; favored protective tariff on live stock, hides and wool, and the extension of our foreign markets, and indorsed President Roosevelt's attitude toward the live stock interests, and the administration of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson.

A resolution for the "public ownership of public utilities" was adopted by the convention without a dissenting vote. THE WONDERBERRY. Mr. Luther Burbank, the plant Wizard of California, has originated a wonderful new plant which grows anywhere, in any soil or climate, and bears great quantities of luscious berries all the season. Plants are grown from seed, and it takes only three months to get them in bearing, and they may be grown and fruited all summer in the garden, or in pots during the winter. It is unquestionably the greatest Fruit Novelty ever known, and Mr. Burbank has made Mr. John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y., the introducer. He says that Mr. Childs is one of the largest, best-known, fairest and most reliable Seedsman in America. Mr. Childs is advertising seed of the Wonderberry all over the world, and offering great inducements to Agents for taking orders for it. This berry is so fine and valuable, and so easily grown anywhere, that everybody should get it at once. BRIGHT SIDE TO BUSINESS Occasional Flash of Humor Enliven Chase After Dollar. It is supposed that business letters are deficient in humor. Still there have been exceptions, and the latest, sent by a member of the well-known wholesale soap-making firm of (let us say) Cake & Son, is one of the most brilliant. A retail dealer in a small way had sent for a consignment of their goods: "Gentlemen (he writes) "wherefor you have not sent me the sope? Is it bekawse you think my money is not so good or nobody else? Dam you, Cake & Son! wherfor have you not sent the sope? Please send sope at once, and oblige yours respect fully, Richard Jones, P. S.-Since writing the above my wife has found the sope under the counter." SKIN ERUPTION CURED. Was So Sore, Irritating and Painful That Little Sufferer Could Not Sleep —Scratched Constantly. Cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven. "When about two and a half years old my daughter broke out on her hips and the upper parts of her legs with a very irritating and painful eruption. It began in October; the first I noticed was a little red surface and a constant desire on her part to scratch her limbs. She could not sleep and the eruptions got sore, and yellow water came out of them. I had two doctors treat her, but she grew worse under their treatment. Then I bought the Cuticura Remedies and only used them two weeks when she was entirely well. This was in February. She has never had another rough place on her skin, and she is now fourteen years old. Mrs. R. R. Whitaker, Winchester, Tenn., Sept. 22, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem, Corp., Sole Props, Boston HIS FATE.

Does Away with the Most Disagree able Work of the Kitchen—Also Prevents Breakage from Hurried Cooks. Dishwashing is the bugbear of the kitchen. Doing one’s own work would be a pleasure were it not for the in- evitable cleaning up. Some women who cannot afford a cook will do without a new dress in order to pay a small girl to keep the dishes clean after each meal. Yet this same woman would be quite hor- rified at the thought of buying a dish- washing machine, ; The modern woman has to be edu: eaied up to the idea that it is folly te use one’s hands where a machine will do as well. Perhaps the fault Hes with the old makes of dishwashers, which took as long to clean as to wash the dishes. The newest machines are sim- ple in construction, easy to clean, and moderate in price. The best dishwashers are made with a galvanized iron cylinder, inte which is fitted a cylindrical tray or basket. The cylinder is half filled with soapy water, which is brought to the boiling point when the dishes are put into the tray or basket. f There is usually a ledge for the plates, which are stood on end, the ‘saucers are put next, then the cups and finally the other dishes. All that is necessary is to plunge the trap into the cylinder, turn the erank a couple of times, reverse it and the dreaded task of dishwashing is done. * The tray is then lifted out, set on the reversed cover and scalded with clean boiling water, which quickly evaporates leaving comparatively few dishes for drying. A dishwasher not only saves time, but prevents breakage from hurried cooks. When a woman does her own work not the least advantage of ma- chine dishwashing is that it pro- tects the hands from the scalding water. In using a dishwasher as in the ordi- nary process much depends upon cleaning up the dishes before putting them in water. Pans and pots should be carefully seraped and have boiling water put in them as soon as used. ‘The table china should be scraped with a rubber scraper, which will not injure the finest ware. If possible the refuse should be burned and it is bet- ter to do the scraping into an old pan rather than over the sink, whose drains may be clogged with grease. Sand Soap. Half a bar of coarse sand soap should always be kept within reach of the right hand of every dishwasher. Rub the half-bar right on to the hot- tom, both inside and outside, of all Saucepans and spiders. Follow this with a scrubbing with a five-cent sink brush, kept up a little higher than the wire soap dish for the sand soap, and fashioned differently from the regular brush used for the sink. By training one’s self to always use both sand soap and brush, pot and pan washing is robbed of much of its much talked of dislike. An occasional dip- ping of the pan brush on to the cake of common soap kept near will remove every vestige of grease. Wes aes ot eerie, One and one-half pounds butter and one and one-half pounds sugar, rubbed to a cream, 12 eggs, yolks and whites beaten separately, one-third pint of molasses, two teaspoonfuls cloves, two ofcinnamon, twoofallspice, two of mace two good teaspoonfuls soda sifted through two pounds of flour several times, one nutmeg grated, one table- spoonful Temon, two pounds of cur- rants, two pounds raisins seeded and chopped, one-half pound _ citron chopped, two-thirds cupful brandy Bake slowly nearly three hours. This quantity makes three large loaves. Ice nicely, put away in jar in a cool place and it will keep a year. Cheap Doughnut Recipe. The following is a carefully tested recipe for doughnuts, or what would be more correctly called crullers: Mix a scant cupful of sugar with an egg and a piece of butter the size of a butternut. After carefully creaming add a cupful of milk and two cupfuls of flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Stir together and turn out on a mixing board, If needed, add more flour— enough to roll out. Fry in smoking hot lard, After frying drain from grease and roll them in sugar, Saked Ancla Pudding Is very simple and inexpensive, and may be made with one cupful of flour, one egg, one-half cupful of milk one- half cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of baking powder, two tablespoonfuls of butter and six sour apples. Sift the flour and baking powder together, beat the egg and milk together and cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and milk alternately with the flour to the creamed butter and sugar and flavor with one-fourth of a teaspoonful of a- nilla, Peel the apples and slice them into a butter dish and over them pour the batter. Bake about 20 minutes, SRR , Vinegar Biscuits, Take two quarts flour, one large ta- blespoon lard or butter or chicken fat, 1% tablespoons vinegar, one teaspoon soda, stirred well into the vinegar, then add the flour. Beat two eggs lightly and add to this. Make a dongh with warm water stift enough to roll out. Cut with biseuit cutter to thick- n2as of one inch. Bake in quick oven
