The Situation now Confront the Republic of Liberia. VOL. XV, WASHING Prominent Reference to Abraham Lincoln Day Speakers. Oklahoma. The Si the Republic There are beautiful lines in Holy Writ telling of the transcendent harmony "when the morning stars sang together." The morning stars did not sing together on the 12th of February, the one 100th anniversary of "Father Abraham," but the one grand note of homage and praise which went up from the grateful hearts of American people delighting to do the immortal Lincoln a just and merited honor must have been like unto it. From the Potomac to the Far North and from the Golden Gate to the Atlantic, the people in song and praise went into their temples or wherever his sacred name was mentioned, and bowed reverently at his shrine. So much real heartfelt homage has seldom if ever been paid the memory of man. In literature, in song and in speech, the grand, kind, humane and sacrificing life of Lincoln has been the one theme of the hour. There were no people who could not find those who would not anxiously tell the story of his great life. We have taken the pains to quote briefly some of the references to Abraham Lincoln, which would probably interest colored people, made by prominent Lincoln Day speakers: "As the years roll by, and as all of us, wherever we dwell, grow to feel an equal pride in the valor and self-devotion, alike of the men who wore the Blue and the men who wore the Gray, so this whole nation will grow to feel a peculiar sense of pride in the man whose blood was shed for the union of his people and for the freedom of a race; the lover of his country and of all mankind; the mightiest of the mighty men who mastered the mighty days, Abraham Lincoln." — President Roosevelt, at Lincoln Farm, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, Hodgenville, Ky. "I am one of the former millions of slaves to whom Lincoln gave freedom, and the representative of ten million grateful Negro citizens."—Mr. Isaac T. Montgomery, an ex-slave of Mt. Bayou, Miss., who spoke from the same platform with President Roosevelt at the Lincoln Farm exercises. "Lincoln cannot be claimed by any particular people. He belongs to humanity, and yet the colored people in the United States have a peculiar right to call him their own because the mantle of the Great Emancipator may be said to have fallen on them."—Senator Dolliver, at Howard University. "We should remember, too, that it is not the figure in history that brings the huzzahs and acclamations of the crowd that marks progress, but the quiet, forceful, conscientious power with the wise policy that keeps ahead. The figure which keeps in sight of, and in touch with the multitude, and which the multitude follows, is a great leader."—Speaker Joseph Cannon, at Howard University. In connection with the Howard University ceremonies there was a most impressive feature connected with the unveiling of C. T. Webber's famous painting, "The Underground Railroad." The unveiling was conducted by Mr. Charles Curtis, the celebrated newspaper correspondent. In speaking of two of the figures represented on the canvas, Mr. Curtis pointed to them and said that those characters hoary-headed and bent with age, had been instrumental in aiding more than three thousand runaway slaves across the Ohio and beyond the border lines into Canada. When he had finished, he introduced an elderly gentleman and his wife who had seats on the platform—it was these two people who had befriended those three thousand slaves who had gained their liberty through the "underground railroad." "Lincoln lives today in the 32,000 young men and women of the Negro race learning trades and useful occupations; in the 200,000 farms acquired by those he freed; in the more than 400,000 homes built; in the 46 banks established and 10,000 stores owned; in the $550,000,000 worth of taxable property in hand; in the 28,000 public schools existing, with 30,000 teachers; in the 170 industrial schools and colleges; in the 25,000 ministers and 26,000 churches." Booker Washington, before New DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing The RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, York Republican Club at Carnegie Hall, N. Y. "Of the 9,000,000 Negroes in the United States, 7,000,000 live in country districts; the primary problem is that of the present. Now, the moral and industrial regeneration of Negro life in the black belts of the South must come from within. The job must be done by teachers, preachers, mechanics, farmers, housewives, educated and trained in Negro schools and inspired to help their people." —Roscoe Conklin Bruce, before the Lincoln Douglas banquet, Cleveland, O. "Next November the voters of Maryland will say by their votes whether, for us and in our state, the world has stood still during the 100 years since Lincoln was born. Advocates of the amendment admit that its adoption will make Maryland a one-party state."—Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte, Secretary of the Navy, at Baltimore, Md. The colored people of Oklahoma because of restrictive measures and discriminatory legislation, have been making an organized effort to protect themselves from the enroachment of that element in the state who are opposed to the progress of the Negro citizens. An organization headed by Hon. E. T. Barber of El Reno, and others, secured the services of Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon to come into the state, and by his matchless eloquence and wise counsel aid them in this laudable enterprise. Mr. Vernon, always willing in the uplift and development of his people, readily consented. He was met by a company of most distinguished citizens of the state of Oklahoma at Caldwell, Kans., and in a private car, secured for the accommodation of Mr. Vernon and the party, he made the tour of the state. From the time Hennessy was reached until Mr. Vernon had closed his tour at Muskogee, the ovation from both black and white, and at many of the towns where he was not scheduled to speak he was obliged to make talks from the rear end platform of his private car in response to the urgent demands of those who had gathered at the station to meet him. Mr. Vernon made speeches at El Reno, Kingfisher, Guthrie (the state capital), visiting Langston University at the latter place and calling upon Governor Haskell, by invitation, with whom he discussed matters affecting the race. The party also visited Oklahoma City and many other points. It is unanimously agreed that the great ovation given Register Vernon throughout the state is in keeping with the things for which he stands and in recognition of the arduous labors he has engaged in for the benefit of his race. Oklahoma will long remem- --- ber this eventful trip of Mr. Vernon's and feels indebted to him for the services he has rendered. That the grave situation now confronting the struggling Republic of Liberia, which appears to be in a totering condition, is giving much concern to the government of the United States, is evident from the fact that the State Department is now contemplating sending a war vessel there for the purpose of giving moral aid to the inhabitants of Liberia and also for the protection of American interests. It is seriously felt that the civilization of this African Republic is threatened by the encroachment of a large invasion of savage natives and by the land grabbing policies of European nations. Of the large number of American Negroes who left the United States and who formed the foundation of its civilization, there are now only about 40,000 left, a number which seems to be almost swallowed up in the hordes of native savages surrounding them. In connection with this situation the plan of the President of the United States to send a commission to Liberia for the purpose of studying the conditions there and advising this government of the necessary steps to be taken to preserve its existence is commendable and shows the friendly attitude still existing on the part of this government towards Liberia and her people. It is the consensus of opinion that Congress will, at a very near date, appropriate the $20,000 estimated to be necessary in defraying the expenses of the proposed commission. JAMES CUBERT CAMPBELL HOW TO END MOB RULE Governor Noel of Mississippi has challenged public attention and admiration by his denunciation of mob law and his announcement of a determination to use the military forces of the state if necessary to put an end to mob law. After two lynching parties had recured their victims, Governor Noel issued this statement: I am sorry to say it, but the time has come in Mississippi when there will have to be an armed clash between the military and the citizens. For the good of the state, conditions cannot be allowed to continue as they are, for it will simply resolve itself into a contest of strength between the mob and the powers of the state. When there was danger of a lynching at Brookhaven, Governor Noel was assured by the sheriff that the prisoner could be protected without difficulty. The governor accordingly sent but few troops who were promptly overwhelmed by the mob and the lynching took place. At Houston the governor failed to send troops to protect two prisoners because the citizens of the town assured him that they would obey the law, but instead the sheriff's men aided in the lynching. Now the governor declares that there will be no more lynchings while he is governor if the military in the state are able to prevent it and uphold the law. Even more refreshing is Governor Noel's instructions to the state troops. They are directed to shoot if necessary, to protect a prisoner from a mob and to regard any person attacking a jail as an enemy to the state. The South has needed governors of firmness and for a long time, and Mississippi is to be congratulated in having a Noel instead of a Vardaman as chief executive.—Omaha Bee. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES The organization in this city a few days ago of a national colored dressmakers' association, with all the adjuncts of a school, annual conventions and exhibition, and an annual visit of the president to Paris for ideas, supports the enemy's assertion that the Negro race is expert in mimicry and especially in following the white race in its bad places.—N. Y. Age.

When the Indiana State Board of Pharmacy gave out the returns of the examinations held recently, Miss Ida P. Hagan received a very creditable report, ranking among the first. Miss Hagan is 21 years, and for the past four years has studied pharmacy at Ferdinand, Ind., under the direction of Dr. A. G. Wollenman. The examination of the state board lasted three days and was very vigorous, exhaustive and technical. Miss Hagan is now a registered pharmacist. Boston, Mass., Feb. 17. About one hundred fraternity men appeared before the Judiciary Committee of the Massachusetts Legislature last week to protest against the passage of a bill recently introduced, aimed at the Independent Order of Elks of the World, but so worded that there is a poss- NO.23 biility of including all colored secret organizations. The bill is known as the Crone bill, and is designed to prevent Negroes from wearing Elk emblems. Many speeches were made against the bill. The campaign in the war department against desertions from the army is meeting with success, according to Adjutant General F. C. Ainsworth, who says in his annual report to the secretary of war that the relative number of desertions was less in 1908 than in any other fiscal year since 1901. General Ainsworth points out that of the white troops 4.75 per cent were reported as deserted, while only 0.57 per cent of the colored men in the service deserted. And now it has reached us that Jim Jefferies had ancestors who were as dark in hue as the present world's champion, Jack Johnson, and that Jeffries himself is not so far removed from that period as to be entirely free from a drop or two of Negro blood. No wonder he drew the color line, since he wanted to make sure that the world would carry him on its shoulders, and the fear that if it were known he had colored blood in his veins made him draw the line. Murder will out, and the chickens will come home to roost. At the present day there are two Catholic orders, numbering about 200 colored nuns, laboring on behalf of their own people in the United States. One of these two orders, the Oblate Sisters, of Providence, has been in existence as a community since the year 1829. It was founded by Father Joubert, a Frenchman, who had emigrated to Hayti at the time of the reign of terror in France. The early part of the nineteenth century was marked by the arrival in the United States of a great many refugees from Hayti and Santo Domingo. Joubert was among these refugees. He landed at Baltimore, studied there for the priest-hood and was finally ordained. Recent report has it that 120,000 whites have lost out in Mississippi owing to the qualification tests. More than likely the number is not nearly so large. The State has about 600,000 white inhabitants. Voters are usually reckoned at our fifth. If that rule holds good there would be no white voters left. It stands to reason that the white vote has been largely reduced. The fact should be some comfort to those who have felt that the white man could not lose. The Negro vote of something like 180,000 is reduced to 5,000 awful to think of as a single fact. Yet if the white vote is cut 20,000, nct 120,000, there would be some semblance of fairness in view of the better possible qualification of the white people.

The case of Marcellus Thomas, a negro sentenced to death for killing two men in Harris county, Texas, was appealed to the United States Supreme Court on the ground that he had been discriminated against because the grand jury indicting him contained no member of his own race. The court refused to reverse the Texas Supreme Court's decision, which was against Thomas. In his eulogy on Senator Allison, Representative Albert F. Dawson of Iowa, who was for years private secretary to the late senator, revealed the fact that the latter had been the author of the refunding provision of the gold standard act of 1900, and he declared that this provision, had not only uplifted the standard of our national credit but had actually saved to the government the enormous sum of $16,500,000.

Senate bill 21, by Senator Skinner, declaring the Colorado school for the deaf and blind at Colorado Springs an educational institution. No Pay for Lobbyists. No more will the state pay lobbyists for their efforts to secure more money from the state's coffers for the hundred and one purposes mentioned in the appropriation bills and budgets. This decision has been made by Gov. John Shafohr, who recently announced that he would refuse to affix his signature to any appropriation bill not having a provision to that effect embodied in it. He has suggested the following formal phrase as a fitting clause for that purpose: None of the moneys here in appropriated shall be used to pay any officer or any member of any board, or any other person for lobbying for or against any appropriation." For many years past it has been the custom, says the governor, for officers of state institutions or for members of state boards or departments to have their expenses paid out of appropriations for their efforts toward inducing members of the Legislature to vote for larger appropriations with which to conduct the various branches of the state work. "This practice," said Governor Shaafroth, "means that the state is paying money to enable some department to take more money away from it. It is entirely wrong for a state institution, board or department to pay men and go to additional expense for the purpose of getting more money out of the state. This money paid lobbyists for that purpose is really illegally expended, according to the spirit, if not the letter, of the appropriation bills. If one institution should do this and nothing is said, there is no reason why all the twenty-seven boards in the state could not do it. It must stop." Governor Shafroth said that his purpose in giving publicity to this determination is to warn the lobbyists already at the state house in behalf of the state institutions that they will not be paid out of the state's appropriations for the support of the state boards and institutions if he can prevent it. No Guardianship for Veterans In the Senate Senator Campbell's bill, repealing Colorado statutes which require that all old soldiers and sailors entering the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home shall turn over their pensions to the commandant, was passed to third reading. The United States laws require that pensioners of the government shall not turn their money over to anyone, but shall keep it themselves. Senator Bohn, an old soldier, said it was an outrage to make the commandant guardian of the old soldiers, besides being a violation of the constitution. "The custom arose because it was feared that the old soldiers would go into town pension day and get drunk," said Senator Bohn. "Well, if they want to get drunk, let them. They have a right to do so. They fought for the country and have a right to any pleasure they may get out of their pensions. It is nobody's business." It was stated that as much as $6,000 passes through the commandant's hands from this source alone every year. To Accept Carnegie's Money. The House in committee of the whole Friday favorably considered the Senate resolution providing that the University of Colorado may take advantage of the foundation established by Mr. Carnegie for the purpose of providing pensions for superannuated college professors. There are several of these resolutions, each permitting a state institution to receive the benefits of the fund, and all went through the Senate without opposition. During the discussion, Mr. Carnegie and the steel trust were vigorously denounced by Representative Henahen and Mrs. Lafferty, who would have the state refuse to touch "tainted money." Registration of Stallions. Senator Cary's bill to provide for the registration of pure-blood stallions, was passed to third reading in the Senate, as was also his bill abolishing the fee of one dollar retained by the board of stock inspection when it sells stray stock inspection when it sells stray animals whose owners afterward proved title. The board does not use the money, has a large sum from this source on hand, and it will be turned over to the state treasury. Workshop for Blind Saved. By reporting out favorably the bill carrying an appropriation of $45,000 for the Colorado workshop for the blind, the Senate committee on finance practically saved the existence of that institution. With a favorable committee report the bill is expected to pass easily now, and it will be given a home of its own. Had the bill been delayed until after March 1st the institution would have gone out of existence, as under the law, no institution can borrow money for maintenance after March 1st of the year following the expiration of the preceding biennial period. The blind workshop has been running into debt since last October. The provisions of the bill are that a workshop shall be built by the state to cost $20,000, a home for the blind workers, to cost $15,000 and $10,000 shall be appropriated for maintenance. Attacks Work of Land Board. Alleging gross mismanagement of the various state land boards in the administration of public lands during the last twenty years, Speaker Lubers created a furore at the Tuesday night session of the House. The speaker took the floor in committee of the whole on Representative Clark's bill to admit school lands to irrigation districts, not for the purpose of opposing or supporting the measure, but to air his personal views on the work of the land office. Without going into specific circumstances he characterized the administration of the office during the last twenty years as a blot on the history of the state. It speculated and did not put the lands to the best uses, he asserted, and the state had suffered greatly in consequence of the dog-in-the-manger policy. Under proper administration he declared the land office could be of great assistance in the development of the state. The Clark bill was passed to third reading. Irrigation Measures. There are three important irrigation bills before the Legislature, introduced by Senator Carringer and Representatives Clark and Welser, Senator Carpenter of the agriculture and irrigation committee called a meeting of those interested in irrigation, at which meeting counsel for the various irrigation districts agreed to submit their written opinions to the committee on the legal phase of the bills and the relative merits. These opinions will aid the committee greatly in considering which bill to advocate. The three bills under consideratica of the committee greatly concern farmers and the state as well. It is proposed to allow the entrance of state lands into irrigation districts in two of the bills and in the third to allow owners of desert and homestead government lands to come in under the benefit of irrigation districts, while paying for their lands. The irrigation districts favor the bills because it would give a more compact acreage to the districts. The Carringer bill relates to the entrance of state lands into irrigation districts. It is backed by the Land board, which in one county has 10,000 acres of land entered. The value of the land to the state is increased because the lands come under the benefits of the district's water system. The bill allows the district to tax the land just as it would tax any other land held by a member of the district, thereby adding to the revenue of the district. The Clark bill permits the state to come in under the district, although not becoming a member upon the same footing as other members of the district. Veterinary Examiners. Senator Tobin's bill establishing a state board of veterinary examiners of three persons, who shall license all veterinary doctors, was passed to third reading in the Senate. Graduates of veterinary colleges will be granted licenses with the privilege of placing "V.S." after their names. All must take examination, except veterinarians who have practiced in the state for three consecutive years. Those who have not come from colleges can not use the words "veterinary surgeon," but must use "non-graduate veterinary practitioner." This is to prevent misrepresentation by miscientific veterinarians. The board will serve without pay and receive necessary traveling expenses. Employes Bill in Doubt In committee of the whole of that body, House Bill No. 382, by Garman, to fix the compensation of certain legislative employees and appropriating $2,940 for their payment, was opposed by several senators because it made a permanent increase in the number of employees, and Senator Burger raised the point against it that there was no record of the amendments inserted in the bill by the house. By a vote of fifteen to twelve the committee refused to pass the bill on second reading, but by a vote of sixteen to thirteen it was ordered that the bill retain its place on the calendar. Ask Increased Zinc Tariff. The Senate unanimously adopted a resolution introduced by Senator Bohn which asks Congress to levy the same import tariff upon zinc ores that it has levied upon lead ore in the past. During the last four years 300,000 tons of Mexican zinc ores have been introduced into the country free of duty, though the peon labor of Mexico makes it possible to import the ore at one-third the price it can be mined in Colorado.

May Be Calmed by Silence, Solitude and Sleep, Says One Writer, In an article on “Nerves,” published in Harper's Bazaar, the story 1s told of one of our noted scientists who went o Dresden to consult the famous spe- cialist for broken-down nerves. On hearing his symptoms the great phy- sician said, indifferently: “Ach, so? It is probable that you have—yes, all the getehrten (learned) have neurasthenia naturally.” The remedy suggested was “Play golf and go to Egypt. You can get Munich beer in Cairo, though it is disgusting: ly expensive there.” Silence, solitude and sleep are the sov- ereign remedies suggested for jagged nerves. Slight daily doses of the three “S's," it is claimed, will prevent a nervous breakdown, and may be ob- tained by even the most busy people. But “AN the learned have neuras: thenia” is at once a warning and a consolation to the brain worker, To “drive the machine” with skill and care is the problem of the successful American. ‘The wrietr of this article urges that we ought to thank God that we be long to the most nervous, restless, all pervading race the world has seen since the days of Julius Caesar. It is our “nerves” that make wus wha' we are. ‘A idmciclan Mivatities: Tx'o men sat in the hotel lobby flowering at the smoke which they view toward the ceiling.

A man jokingly handed him a big square of muslin. “The magician studied the cloth for a few minutes, and then said, dramatic ally: “Thank Heaven, there is at least one clean sheet in this town.’ “and now the publisher says the hotel bedclothes were alluded to, and the other insists that it was the town’s newspaper.” To Bake Fish.

When the fish is baked it can be easily lifted from the paper, which in turn slips easily out of the pan. i All Depends. “What {s the most aggravating thing in married life?” asked Dorothy, “Sometimes,” said the bachelor friend, “it’s the husband and some times it's the wife.”—Detroit News- ‘Tribune.

J. T. ALLEN “THE DIET CURE” hae IE Sete Aces RE ESPRESSO and restoring health, yet diet is not a cure-all. As there is no single means by which life is maintained, so there is ‘no single means of maintaining health or of restoring it when it has been Jost. I often hear people say, “I have tried drugs, and osteopathy, Christian Science (or suggestion) and electric: ‘ity, the movement cure and the water ‘cure, and none of them has done me ‘any good, and now I am going to see “what there is in dieting.” Such a speech indicates a narrow view of the work of the physician and a grave misunderstanding of the na- ‘ture of health and healing. I have a large acquaintance among physicians ‘and I don’t know one who prescribes ‘drugs and ignores @leting, though I know some who do not agree with the ‘old saw in Mareus Ward's copybook, “Diet cures more than doctors.” I know physicians who practice sugges: tion very skilfully, by intuition, but give the credit for their mental cures to their medicine, even when they pre- scribe bread pills; and I am sorry to say I know some good physicians who have not yet recognized the good in osteopathy and mechanotherapy in general; but the ayerage medical doc- tor believes in using all means of cure, and especially diet, as supplemental to medicine. No sane, liberally educated _physt- tan who is successful in the practice of a specialty, finds it necessary to overestimate the relative importance of his specialty. It is the imperfectly informed person who claims for some one method of treatment, valuable in certain cases, the impossible virtue of a cureall, ‘The only way in which almost any therapeutic agent can cure almost any sickness is by becoming a means of suggestion. But let the men- tal condition be perfect yet withhold the right food and the patient must ultimately die. And suggestion need not be made the basis of a cult to be a means of faith cure. Dr. Yorke Davies of London, one of the few eminent physicians who have made a specialty of dietetics, said, after 30 years’ practice: “The devia- tions from health are more correctly remedied by dietetic means than by medicines. Diet may be a permanent cure, drugs are but palliatives. . . Diet in the hands of an expert 1s more powerful than drugs. Medicine is seldom a remedy for constitutional ail- ments, whereas a system of diet, air and other means that lead to sound health is of permanent benefit. 1 speak from a very large experience in both systems.” (‘Diet and Condition,” 1892.) ‘The general practitioner knows that he cannot give his patients the benefit of an expert knowledge of a dozen specialties, He realizes this better than the specialist realizes the danger ef being too ready to treat every case that comes to him by his special cure. ‘The surgeon who is so devoted to his acience and his art that he “would rather operate than eat,” as one good man puts it, is likely to be skillful; but there are patients who need to eat more than they need to be operated on; and it might be well to take the advice of a faithful general practition: er in conjunction with that of the spe cialist before acceding to the wish of the surgeon who glorifies his profes sion by crediting it with impossible powers, In no case is diet the only remedy to be considered; but unlike surgery, drugs, electricity, and other means of cure which are often of vital impor tance, diet (which includes fasting) like suggestion, Is always “indicated.’ ‘And whatever danger there may be in misapplied surgery or drugs, food can do no harm when taken moderately, except in a few cases, as diabetes, where expert knowledge is required. Osteopathy, suggestion, massage, wa ter cure, applied with ordinary judg ment, can do no harm, except as they may exclude other necessary treat ment, as drug or surgical treatment may also fail to include other benef cial treatment. Since the days of the prophet whc prescribed washing in Jordan, there have been many cures, each more mys terious, if possible, than the other, but nature has continued to use the same means of restoring health, in spite o! the cures or by thelr aid. ‘A young man who has been reading these articles writes me about his in teresting case, which will serve to il lustrate the difficulty and the impor tance of distinguishing health fron disease. At the age of 20 he quit the farm, late in the spring, and went tc work as a street car conductor in large city: He was in excellent health with a good appetite. A few month: later he began to have dull headach: and an almost constant sour stomach aa eeenide Wdartinde imows the a physician does not go for his valua- ble advice on the prevention of sick- ness, or even for a radical cure of his ailment. What he wants is a quick cure, in the easiest way possible; hence the temptation to treat symp- toms is strong. The acid conditton of the stomach was, of course, neutralized by the al- kali, but the cause remained rather worse. There was no cure. Should the acid condition in the stomach be corrected by an alkali, as carbonate of soda, or does nature know what she is about in producing the acid condi- tion? Another gentleman who has been reading these articles writes me about his very interesting and peculiar case, also resulting in an extreme acid con- dition. His work for years has been with chemicals. His system has be- come poisoned, as in common cases of poisoning by mercury, arsenic, ete. The acid condition and an extreme lia- bility to cold are incidents of nature's efforts to bring about conditions in which the system can expel these pol- sons. The diet of meat, which this man has been living on exclusively for some time, an alkaline food, contains much waste to be excreted, thus ad- ding to the burden of the system, and it works against, instead of with, na- ture. He asks for specific advice, along the lines of a recent article. Iam not prejudiced in favor of homeopathy nor against any other school of medicine, for they all have something good, and my own plan is to go back to nature, to first princi- ples, no matter what the schools say, but aiming to take advantage of all known facts. My experiments in de- termining the curative values of foods lead to a conclusion similar to that of the illustrious founder of homeopathy, “Similia similibus curantur” (Like cures like). I do not think that one disease can cure another, like or un- like. But we should work to bring about the same result that nature is trying to produce, even when that seems to be irritating or destructive. Nature is producing the acid condi- tion in the case of the worker in chemicals for the purpose of bringing about a change that will improve the conditions of nutrition. Instead of an- tagonizing that effort by taking car- bonate of soda or by taking only alka- line food, let this man eat only acid fruits in the morning, an apple, an or- ange, and a little pineapple, and drink plenty of lemonade without sugar, a little dry graham and corn bread at noon, never fresh, and at six all the buttermilk he can -drink, slowly. He should take a spoorful of olive or pea- nut oil, morning and evening. If he doesn’t feel inclined to drink butter- milk, let him take only a sip and in- crease the amount gradually. With plenty of that alone on hand, he will not suffer. Every third day he should take nothing but hot lemonade, and be careful not to overeat the next day. He is unable to work, so he can in- dulge the inclination to recline, which he mentions as a symptom in the case —a symptom which should not be sup- pressed by a tonfe: it is significant. Every morning, or evening, he should have a vigorous rubbing for five or ten minutes with a dry and then a we Turkish towel, and at night bathe the feet in hot water. He should apply an electric vibrator, generally, and to the extremities after the morning bath, for a few minutes. For the gen eral treatment the vibrating chair is best, made by attaching an electric vi- brator to a light rocking chair. But to return to the street car con. ductor’s case, which has some points in common with this; he has been poi- soned with superfluous food. This cannot be corrected by taking an al- kali to neutralize the acid and a tonic to increase his appetite. A tonic is a whip. Exercise and air and water is a whip. Exercise and air and water and hope and sunshine are nature's tonics. The appetite they produce is normal, not in excess of the actual needs of the system. Excess of food is always a source of disease. Rheumatism would result from the suppression of these symptoms, in time, if the cause persisted. Uric acid would be deposited in the joints, prob- ably. Examination of the urine in this case would show an excess of waste matter. That means an undue strain upon the kidneys, which, in time, would lead to rheumatism, diabetes or Bright's disease, if the cause is not removed. Examination of the excreta would also show an excess of waste and of bacteria, especially if much meat is eaten. (There should be little apparent gdor from the excreta if the feeding is right.) ‘This young man should eat very slowly, masticating thoroughly. Let him reduce his food, especially flesh in the bedy without complying with the laws of its physical organization, 4s manifestly ubsnrd. A farmer needs at least twice as Much muscular-energy-giving food asa Street car conductor, varying with the Physical work or exercise of each, but this young man continued to eat about the same amount and kinds of food that he had eaten in the country. Now the system manufactures gastric juice to digest as much food as the system Tequires, not always enough for the food eaten. Perhaps we can all re Member a time when we were quite familiar with sour stomach. When we were younger and more vigorous, na- ture responded more promptly, defend. ing herself and warning us of abnor- mal conditions, so that we should re- Move the cause. How much more quickly a child or a dog will vomit if it eats the wrong food or too much of the right food than an adult. Is the Sour stomach in the child or the readi- ness to vomit an Indication: of health or of disease? Does not a farmer change a horse's food as his work changes? I have quoted these two cases sub- mitted by interested readers of these articles to exemplify an important fun- damental principle—that it is often difficult to distinguish between health and disease. So important is this principle, and so fatal are the effects Of ignorance of it, that I wish to make {t still clearer, by examples, A few weeks ago I met on the street a minister with whose work in a small town, near Chicago, I was inti- mately acquainted last year. He had @ new charge now, a larger, more pros- perous and more harmonious congre- gation. “You are looking much better than when I saw you last,” I sald (which happened to be true—it never helps a man to tell him he looks sick, even if it is true). “Well,” he said, “I am feeling bet- ter in every way, except that I have one trouble that is really becoming serious; for days I have had constant diarrhoea, and nothing seems to stop it” “That's well,” I said, for I was fa- miliar with his case preceding his change of surroundings, and I took a hasty inventory of his condition, He had been much depressed the preced- ing year (mental depression often in- duces constipation) and his nutritive powers, mental and physical, were ac- cordingly reduced, and he had lost in flesh and accumulated waste in the tis- sues). Now there was a revival; all the tissues were expgnding and waste was being eliminated through the bowels; but more than that, the sys- tem was adjusting itself, rapidly, to more Wholesome mental conditions, and there was, as the engineer says, some exhaust steam. Should he take a standard remedy to stop the diar- hoea? A woman who had suffered for years drom dyspepsia, accompanied by con- stipation, went to a large sanitarium where she had every opportunity for eure. For a while she improved, then she began to grow steadily worse. Sno quit the place, dissatisfied, and went to a private sanitarium in Chicago. The physician there understood that painful healing efforts of nature are often mistaken for signs of disease. She grew “worse,” became very sick, and got well. What would have been the effect of “curing” that sickness? A gentleman past middle life was advised to make some material changes in his diet, which he did with decided benefit for several months. ‘Then he “began to go steadily dowt hill,” as he thought. He consulted an- other physician, who saw in his simple diet the cause of his entire trouble, gave him a tonic and advised him to return to his old “liberal” diet, includ: ing meat, and now he feels better;—a result due, chiefly, to improved mental conditions induced by his friends, who rejoice with him in the return of his sanity! ‘The best diet in the world, with continual worry, will kill any- body, and the prison records of Poland show that a man can live for 50 years on bread and water. “How, then, shall I know whether I am sick or well?” asks the bewildered reader. You are always well, if you really think so. There is more truth in this statement than I have space to ex- plain here, for I am dealing now with diet, not with suggestion. But let me briefly state the best course to follow under all circumstances: Follow nature. If nature 1s work- ing ina certain direction to bring about normal conditions of health, co- operate with her, especially in thought. Be careful that you do not misinterpret her efforts and antagonize her.

For instance, the emancipation proclamation contained these words: "And I further declare and make known that such persons of suitable condition will be received into the armed service of the United States, to garrison forts, positions, stations and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service." Is it not about time that a vessel manned entirely by Negroes were forth-coming? And will not the South Denver agitators see herein that the Negro soldier had a good and a very necessary beginning, based upon a confidence which he has never betrayed? ANOTHER EARLY PRECEDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN, as President of the United States, spoke forcibly and emphatically against mob law. There are few things that Abraham Lincoln said, as a public administrator, which do not possess great force of logic and wisdom. Some of the later presidents have endorsed Lincoln's expression upon the subject of mob law, but none of them has put the characteristic Lincoln force behind the expression. And mob law has increased wonderfully in the United States since Lincoln's time. Had the successive presidents posessed Lincoln's backbone, this might not have been so. An aggressive head of this great government is an absolute necessity for the supremacy of enacted law. President Roosevelt probably comes next to Lincoln in this respect, while Grover Cleveland was also of the right type. But no president, after Lincoln, has been in the habit of putting his foot down hard on these abortive American tendencies to forestal the law. It is a thing which needs constant executive watching. It ought not to suffer from the attempts of any president to placate any section of the country or any class of people. It needs a good, heavy foot on its back all the time, for it is a serpent of poisonous venom. President-elect Taft has all the characteristics of an honest, fearless and independent man. Sometimes early in his administration, perhaps, he will say something about mob law in the United States. Then, perhaps, he will point out some straight and practical way to rid the country of it. It can be done; it ought to be done; and it will be done, if a President of the United States sets about to do it. For the country's good, it is time that it were done. THE WHITE PERIL THERE has been a wonderful amount of similarity between the vicious and long-drawn-out agitation against the Japanese on the Pacific coast and the half-century old crusade that has been carried on against the Negro in the Southern states, and the one has served to establish evidence that the other is a manifestation of a peculiar and self-confessed weakness inherent in the Caucasian race which threatens dire calamities to the latter race in some future day, if the good sense and wisdom of that race shall ever fail to curb and control its demoralizing tendencies. As the Denver Republican has frankly pointed out, there is no portion of the Pacific coast which is now or ever has been in any danger of foreign domination, yet the politicians, taking advantage of a sentiment entirely personal in character, have been able to work up an agitation of such magnitude as to involve the entire nation in a discussion which threatened the severance of friendly relations between two nations that have no moral right or other good excuse to engage in martial conflict. Despite the fact that the Negro is and always has been totally incapable of waging any kind of physical conflict against the white man, the white politicians of the South, for many years, have made the alleged fear of Negro domination an all absorbing issue, upon which they have kept the South politically solid against the free thought of the other portions of the country and hysterically belligerent against the innocent and defenseless Negro, and his voluntary defenders. In each case this agitation has resulted in a system of cowardly and shameful persecution which could do no less than pervert the even judgment and high moral principles of the dominant people and make brooding discontents of those unjustly and inexcusably persecuted. This tendency on the part of white men to become so easily wrought up by political agitators playing upon senseless racial fears, is evidence of an inherent and perilous weakness which threatens self-demoralization far greater than any which outside conditions can ever be responsible for. No other people on earth seems similarly afflicted. The danger point in these matters has been shifted only through the numerical weakness of the agitators when the agitation has culminated in a question of national scope. President Roosevelt, backed by a level-headed press, has finally brought the Californians to their senses, but the Negro question, far greater in its scope, must remain to harrow the hearts and bother the brains of our fearsome statesmen. Anxiety for white supremacy in a white man's country, where it can never be uprooted, except through the long continued moral perversion of the white people themselves, is its own accuser, and its indictment of its originators is relieved by no mitigating circumstances.

Through that cubic inch of space, he said, go dancing in every moment of time "a billion waves of light, traveling from 6,000 stars visible through a great telescope, besides innumerable planets whose faint light no telescope is fine enough to catch. Gravitating relations from the 20,000,000 suns of our galaxy, the billion planets and the uncounted nebulae also throb through that inch of space. To know thoroughly that inch of space is to know the universe; is to find there the exactness of God, the economy of God, the beauty of God and the love of God." Now, if all these are found in so material and so external a unit as a cubic inch of space, how much more are they to be found in a unit of heart life, of human love! The confident kiss which a baby gives to a stranger—what does it represent? Ages of barbaric struggle, millions of crushed aspirations, unnumbered longings, the struggle of the savage for safety, the barbarian for shelter, the pioneer for lodgment, the statesman for an ordered commonwealth, the inventor for the amenities and refinements of home, the physician for the conditions of health, the educator for the expansion of mind, the moralist for the purity of soul, the religionist for the tenderness of spirit, heartsick women, passion-disciplined men, march in files ages long through the kiss of that child. In receiving the kiss I was made heir to all the ages. Not so complicated are the material forces pulsing through Mr. Calthrop's inch of space as the spiritual complexities in that baby's kiss. From that kiss, looking backward, we see the history of the human soul rising into tenderness. Looking forward, we see the beginning of home loves, fireside anxieties; generations of thinking, loving men and women, poets, statesmen, inventors, preachers, presidents, in ever-increasing number, are more or less directly connected with that child's kiss. It is a deposit in the love store of humanity, an impulse toward kindness and trustfulness that will never die. God's kingdom is more honored for it. How tremendously religious are the contents of a baby's kiss. If a man wants to live on nuts I make no objection; if he prefers to eat raw foods alone he has my permission; if he eschews meat I never object; if he uses some alcoholic beverage with his food I do not abuse him; if he eats five times a day I consider him fortunate—if he has only one meal I hope it is a good one; if he eats late at night my prayer is that he sleep well; if he takes a drink before breakfast I think he might be engaged in something better; if he prefers breakfast foods he has a certain extent my commiseration; if he eats only meat he probably will not have If a man wants to live on nuts I make no objection; if he prefers to eat raw foods alone he has my permission; if he eschews meat I never object; if he uses some alcoholic beverage with his food I do not abuse him; if he eats five times a day I consider him fortunate—if he has only one meal I hope it is a good one; if he eats late at night my prayer is that he sleep well; if he takes a drink before breakfast I think he might be engaged in something better; if he prefers breakfast foods he has a certain extent my commiseration; if he eats only meat he probably will not have tuberculosis unless he becomes infected. I do not believe in any form of food advertised to nourish any particular tissue. There is no such thing as brain food or nerve food or skin food. I believe that man is an omnivor- ous animal, and that his normal diet is composed of all kinds of foods, vegetable and animal. All vegetables fit to eat are food for man and all animals fit to eat are food for man. For this reason I think it is not wise to confine one's self to any one kind of food or class of food. [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. The human animal has a wonderful faculty of adaptation to circumstances. Man can live in the tropics and perhaps at the pole. He can undergo the greatest extremes of moisture and drought. He can eat the most diversified forms of diet. He can engage in the most diversified forms of work and pleasure. He becomes acclimated in every zone and country and fits into every kind of society and occupation. But in spite of all this a normally balanced diet, consisting of proper proportions of vegetable and meat diet, solid and fluid food, it seems to me is best suited to man's use. The cravings of the body for food, drink, shelter and offspring are significant as they are fused into the hungers and thirsts of the spirit. "A spark disturbs our clod." Man often becomes lower than the beast because his physical passion is disturbed by his spiritual life. Beasts drink to quench their thirst; man associates fellowship with his thirst, with drunkenness as the result. The saloon rests primarily on the craving for fellowship. Beasts eat to satisfy the body's appetite; man becomes a gourmand, eating for fraternity's sake. The Natural and the Spiritual By LESLIE WILLIS SPRAGUE, Ethical Culture Society, Chicago. Of the hungers and thirsts of the the spirit there are such as the craving for truth, for beauty, for affection and for righteousness, all of which mean the desire to realize harmonious relations with the spiritual life of nature and humanity. They relate man to the essence of being, to the ideal. However these cravings have originated, they are innate, authoritative and impose an enduring obligation upon man. It cannot be wisely said that too much of life is spent in the satisfaction of physical appetites. Rather is it true that through the right satisfaction of physical needs will the cravings of the spirit be fulfilled. In most lives, in most acts, physical needs are associated with physical wants. Men and women toil, not only that they may eat, but more that those they love may be cared for. Affection joins with hunger, inspiring labor. The difficulty is that this co-ordination is so incomplete. Labor is seldom dignified by the consciousness that it is co-working with the laws of nature which provide for human needs.

At the Grand Inaugural Entertainment at Dania Hall, Thursday, March 4, 1909. The Philippines Constabulary Band, eighty-six strong, dressed in the olive drab khaki uniforms of the Philippine soldiers, arrived in Denver at 5 o'clock last Saturday afternoon, too late for an afternoon engagement at the Curtis Theater. They were en route to Washington and will be the star performers at the inauguration of President Taft. The leaders style themselves the "Taft Band," as they were organized at the suggestion of the Ohio states man while he was the Governor of the Philippines, and it was his promise made to them while he was in their native land that in case he was elected President he would have them at the inauguration. Omaha, Lincoln, Des Moines and other Eastern cities are to be visited, and after the inauguration the band is to make an extensive tour of the Eastern cities. The People's Sunday Alliance was delighted with some unusual musical treats in the selections of the Choral Society and Miss Frankie Buchannan, who so sweetly and practically sang "If I had a Thousand Lives to Live, I'd Give Them All for You." Sunday; Mrs. Beckman's paper, "Living for Today," was full of some very fine thoughts. She was unable to read her paper, because of the revival meeting at her church. Judging from her thought, Mrs. Beckham is quite a profound scholar who can take care of herself in any community. The program for tomorrow is as follows: Instrumental duet, Misses Rice and Louise Harris; vocal solo, Miss Ida Cox; literary selection, Mr. Cornelius Rice; cornet solo, Mr. Clyde Andrews; address, "My Experience in Africa," J. L. Branch; vocal solo, Mrs Lillian Jones. Look out for Falling's Social Event at Dania Hall, March 4th, at which time the school question will be discussed. NEGRO RAILROAD EMPLOYES. There are few avenues in the railroad world open for the employment or advancement of the Negro. He is ever so competent and ambitious. In my travels in different sections of the country I have arrived at the conclusion that the Negro in the South stands a far better show for employment in the railroad service than in the North. The white man, being naturally lazy, is willing that his brother in black should do the most laborious work, hence in the Southland there are to be found many Negro engineers, firemen, brakemen, porters and a large number of them work on sections of the railroad: It is true that wages are small, but this large army of workers are making good and to some extent they command favorable notice by their superiors. In the North, East and West a large number of Negroes are employed on railroads as cooks and waiters on dining and private cars as porters, although they do the work of brakemen, but the piece de resistance of the railroad world is the large number of colored men employed in the Pullman palace car service as porters. They have the field to themselves, although their wages are small, owing to a generous traveling public. Many porters have supported themselves and family in fair style and quite a few own valuable property and have laid away a nest egg for the time when they will not be able to go out on their run. A short time ago the Pullman Company put into effect a new rule for the reward as well as punishment of its many employees. If during the year there had been no infraction of its many rules, such as failure to keep your coach clean or sleeping at night while on duty, etc., at the end of the year you are given one month's pay as a reward. This reward for good conduct is all right in a way and yet the demerit marks that a porter may receive, especially one who is running in charge and who is supposed to keep awake, is not fairly treated and works quite a hardship. There are inspectors who do not look on the humane side of the pursuit of infraction of rules; there are superintendents who do not at all times give the porter a square deal when complaints come in against him. Such a state of affairs should not exist, as there are always two sides to every question. (To Be Continued.) THE NEGRO DISTRICT AND TOWN- SITE COMPANY. The Negro district and townsite plan which was authorized to be presented by a committee of The Negro Business Men's League of the state, has been submitted to the State Land Board which controls 3,699,729.72 acres of land. Dr. Jefferson Register of the Land Board is favorable to the plan, and will look up the counties and townships containing sufficient indemnity agricultural lands with water possibilities in one body. When his report has been received a committee of the subscribers will be selected to go in company with a state engineer to investigate the lands and location. Any one who is interested in establishing such a race enterprise can subscribe to the capital stock of the prospective company at Harry Jones' barber shop, Nineteenth street; George C. Sample's barber shop, 1235 Nineteenth street, or any one of the committee. The subscribers' names will be presented to the Governor and Land Board to demonstrate the number and class of persons and the interest they take in such a plan for the betterment of the race's condition. The plan for acquiring the land as submitted to the Land Board, is that each district purchaser of a farming tract deal directly with the State, thus avoiding any possible risk to the settler in dealing with a third party; the center section, or townsite, is to be purchased by the company and paid for outright, and is to be platted and sold in town lots in order to raise a fund to protect the settlers and establish a department store; to erect buildings for local merchants who are not able to buy a lot and build at first. The rents and profits from the sale of town lots will provide a permanent dividend for stockholders. The money derived from the sale of the company's stock and lands will also provide and pay for the employment of the laborers and mechanics who may settle in the district. The present committee is not the established incorporators and are only acting as the authorized agents of the State Negro Business League. When the location is found and we are ready for a permanent organization the subscribers to the capital stock will be consulted as to the management of its affairs. This enterprise is not to be dominated by politics or denominational influences, but is to be the people's and the people are to govern its deliberations. O. T. JACKSON, Chairman Committee.

In an article on the people of Morocco a writer in Figaro says: "They have some queer adages and some that closely resemble ours. Thus, they say: 'The camel cannot see its hump, but plainly sees one on its neighbor;' 'He who depends on his neighbor will go to bed hungry:' 'A wise enemy is better than a stupid friend;' 'Cross the rushing stream, but beware of the quiet, noiseless one;' 'In this world there are three things not to be trusted—luck, women and horses;' 'Mounting a horse, loosing the hunting dogs and hearing earrings rattle drives dull care away.'" Why He Got His K. C. M. G. The following story is told of the late Edward Fairfield, assistant undersecretary at the colonial office; Asked one day by a friend by what means a certain individual had received a K. C. M. G., Mr. Fairfield bent over the dask at which he was sitting and, pointing to a hole in the carpet in front, said: "My friend, do you see that?

PHONE 2275 MAIN Railroad Building Denver, Colorado FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING DENVER'S FIRST SKYSCRAPER TO BE BUILT BY PUGET SOUND COMPANY. TWELVE STORIES HIGH INTERIOR OF THE BANK TO BE AS FINE AS ANYTHING IN AMERICA. Denver.—In correction of an article in one of the Denver dailies in which it is stated that the new Denver skyscraper, soon to be erected, is to be entirely in the hands of Denver business men, John McDonough makes the following statement: First—In justice to Thomas F. Walsh and Charles Boettcher, they are not connected with the Puget Sound corporation. Mr. D. H. Moffat's connection is only that of being a large subscriber and tenant of the building, which will be named after his bank. Second—The F. E. Edbrooke Architect Company is the architect for the building and is now preparing the plans, while Weary & Alford of Chicago are the designers of the interior finish and furnishings of the space leased by the First National Bank. Third—The Puget Sound Realty Associates corporation is not wholly composed of Denver men. The present company directorate consists of ex-Gov. James H. Peabody, John F. Campion, D. C. Dodge, John McDonough and F. E. Edbrooke, all of Denver, and George F. Meacham, E. S. Goodwin, Hamilton Higday, J. B. Duryea and L. E. Spencer, all of Seattle. The article in question goes on to say that the building, which is to be twelve stories in height, will be one of the finest in the West and primarily the home of the First National Bank, and adds: Specifications for the furnishing of the future home of the First National bank in the building, the contract for which was signed yesterday, reveal the fact that no bank in the United States will have a more complete or sumptuous place of business, not excepting the big New York banks. In the neighborhood of $250,000 will be expended upon furnishing and fittings, and every device known that adds to the safety and convenience of a bank will be installed. A good piece of news to Colorado boosters is that Colorado marble will be used in the interior of the bank rooms, and this contract alone will amount to about $25,000. Entrance to the building will be on Seventeenth street. It will be imposing and ornamental, and five elevators will carry people to all parts of the building. The bank will rent the basement, first and mezzanine floors, the first floor covering an area of 125 square feet. Entrance to the bank will be in the center of the building on Seventeenth street, and will also be highly ornamental. Passing into the lobby, fifty by sixty feet in area, a veritable palace of marble and bronze will confront the eye. Not a column will obstruct the view in any direction. New Denver Postoffice. Denver.—There is every indication that the new Denver postoffice will be begun much earlier than the people of Denver have been led to expect from the history of the construction of other federal buildings. The five Denver architects selected by the Treasury Department to enter the competition in preparing plans for the building have received their invitations, including general specifications as to the cost and size of the building, and have been informed that the plans must be submitted by April 1. The specifications state that the building is to be four stories high, with a basement, and is to cost about $1,600,000, the amount provided for in the first bill passed by Congress making a preliminary appropriation. Proposed Fruit Belt Railroad. Denver.—The Fruit Belt Railway Company has filed articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State. It proposes to build a line that will serve fruit growers in Delta county. The capitalization is $150,000, and interested in the enterprise are James Hogrefe, E. F. Cory, W. M. Foster and A. L. Reynolds. The road as planned will connect with the Denver & Rio Grande railway at some available point, and will run to Cedaredge. It will be about twenty-five miles long, and will be built for the convenience of the fruit growers of the county who do not have sufficient shipping facilities. The seven lessees and mill men arrested on a charge of salting ore samples treated at the Golden Cycle mill, thus swindling the mill out of approximately $6,000, were arraigned before Justice Dunnington at Colorado Springs. All pleaded not guilty and were bound over to the District Court. The new oil company at Fort Morgan will incorporate for $50,000, and after 77,000 has been subscribed work on the well will commence. It proposes to drill southwest of the city and go down 3,000 feet. ITINERARY OF ROOSEVELT TRIP WILL START IN MARCH AND RE MAIN ABROAD ABOUT TWO YEARS. LONG STAY IN AFRICA PLANS TO REMAIN A YEAR IN DIFFERENT EUROPEAN COUNTRIES Washington. — Theodore Roosevelt, fifty years of age, having, on March 4th, with his retirement as twenty-sixth president of the United States, completed over twenty-five years of public service, has decided to take rest and recreation in a two years' trip abroad, half of which will be spent in Africa under the British flag as a faunal naturalist, and the other half in Europe, visiting at least three of the big capitals. At the head of a scientific expedition outfitted by the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, he will, with his son, Kermit, and three American naturalists of note—Maj. Edgar A. Mears, J. Loring Allen and Edmund Heller—make a collection of mammals, birds, reptiles, insects and botanical specimens of Central Africa, which will be deposited in the United States National Museum at Washington. The party will leave New York City about the middle of March, going by the Mediterranean route to Gibraltar and Naples. At Naples the members of the expedition will board a steamer of the German East African line for Killindini harbor, Mombasa island. They will arrive at the east African point toward the end of April, proceed by the Uganda railway to Nairobi, spend six months there, then continue by rail to Port Florence, Lake Victoria Nyanza, making a total distance of 584 miles by rail. The expedition will cross Uganda by caravan, and finally pass down the whole length of the Nile, reaching Khartoum about April, 1910. Much of the hunting and specimen collecting will be done in British East Africa, where the Uganda railway will be used as a means of ready transportation from Nairobi, which will be the base of supplies. At Khartoum, it is expected, the President and his son will be joined by Mrs. Roosevelt, who will accompany them on their trip to Europe. The naturalists of the party will proceed direct to the United States from Egypt. Mr. Roosevelt probably will remain in continental Europe and Great Britain about one year, having accepted invitations to deliver the Romanes lecture at Oxford University, an address at the Sorbonne in Paris, and a lecture before the students of the University of Berlin. Mr. Roosevelt feels that he has earned the right to put in a portion of his time in the sport which most appeals to him. He proposes to spend two years away from the United States for two reasons. Rest and recreation in hunting are only the minor ones. He intends to put himself beyond the reach of those persons whom, he believes, would inevitably seek, if he were within reach, to use his influence with the administration of Pres. William H. Taft, Mr. Roosevelt is, of course, aware of the manner in which the charge has been circulated that Mr. Taft would be only a Roosevelt man as president, and whatever Mr. Taft as president might do, it would be ascribed to Mr. Roosevelt's influence. It is because of this situation that Mr. Roosevelt decided to take himself out of the country, where it would be impossible for anyone to repeat any such charge against President Taft. Mr. Roosevelt has well selected a place where his seclusion in this respect is secure, for hardly could a more inaccessible locality be found. In this connection Mr. Roosevelt, some months before the Republican national convention had nominated Mr. Taft to the presidency, made a statement in which he said: "If Mr. Taft is nominated and elected president, which would be very gratifying, it would make impossible any criticism, if I were abroad, to the effect that I was dictating to him and being followed, or that I had dictated and had been turned down in any suggestions." In traveling abroad Mr. Roosevelt will not make any such tour as did General Grant after retiring from the presidency. General Grant was received in state by emperors and kings wherever he went on his tour around the world. He was feted as no other American ever has been. Mr. Roosevelt will avoid all that, it being his desire to travel as a plain American citizen, and spending a good part of his time in the pursuit of game, he will put himself out of the way of social entertainment. Omaha, Neb.—Following a harangue at a mass meeting at the city hall in South Omaha Sunday afternoon at which two members of the state Legislature and an attorney were the principal speakers, a wild mob of 800 to 1,000 men started for the Greek quarter to avenge the death of Patrolman Edward Lowrey, who was shot and killed Friday night by a Greek whom he had placed under arrest. Before their thirst for blood had been satisfied two boys were shot and at least eight persons had been injured. For a good drink of whisky, A fresh glass of beer All you dry ones please come here.

Dick, who was much smaller than Margaret, believed all she said about it. So he asked her what God looked like, and she quickly answered: "God looks like a stalk of corn, because mamma said he had ears on all sides, and a stalk of corn is the only thing I know that has ears on all sides."—Delineator. Professor Munyon has just issued a most beautiful, useful and complete Almanac; it contains not only all the scientific information concerning the moon's phases, in all the latitudes, but has illustrated articles on how to read character by phrenology, palmistry and birth month. It also tells all about card reading, birth stones and their meaning, and gives the interpretation of dreams. It teaches beauty culture, manicuring, gives weights and measures, and antidotes for poison. In fact, it is a Magazine Almanac, that not only gives valuable information, but will afford much amusement for every member of the family, especially for parties and evening entertainments. Farmers and people in the rural districts will find this Almanac almost invaluable. It will be sent to anyone absolutely free on application to the MUNYON REMEDY COMPANY, PHILADEL PHIA. First Fahrenheit Thermometer. First Fahrenheit Thermometer. In the year 1714 one Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit brought to the chancellor of the University of Halle two thermometers which agreed so perfectly in registering temperatures that they were considered marvels. All scientists were amazed. His method is now one of the three accepted standards. Fahrenheit was by birth a Prussian, but after his fifteenth year he lived a long life in Amsterdam. His great skill in working in glass enabled him to carry out his ideas. He was an original thinker, but for commercial reasons kept secret his methods of manufacture for 18 years. Got the Letters Mixed. A young American, who is particular about his washing, the other day wrote a note to his laundress and one to his sweetheart, and, by a strange fatality, put the wrong address on each envelope and sent them off. The washwoman was delighted at an invitation to take a ride the next day, but when the young lady read, "If you tumble up my shirt bosom any more as you did the last time, I will go somewhere else," she cried all the evening and declared she would never speak to him again. Sounded Funny. "The young man is smitten with you, Jeanette. He says you radiate happiness." "Gracious!" "And he also said you radiate beauty." "My!" "And wisdom." "Dear me, how funny." "What's funny, dear?" "Why, he must think I am a radiator." Not Worth Bothering With. Patient—Doctor, I've got a pain covering a spot just about as large as a half dollar I should say, right under my left shoulder blade. Doctor—Humph! If the pain area is no larger than that it isn't worth bothering with. Wait until it gets about the size of a two-dollar bill, then come around and see me.—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. PRIZE FOOD Palatable, Economical, Nourishing. A Nebr. woman has outlined the prize food in a few words, and that from personal experience. She writes: "After our long experience with Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough in its favor. We have used this food almost continually for seven years. "We sometimes tried other advertised breakfast foods but we invariably returned to Grape-Nuts as the most palatable, economical and nourishing of all. "When I quit tea and coffee and began to use Postum and Grape-Nuts I was a nervous wreck. I was so irritable I could not sleep nights, had no interest in life. "After using Grape-Nuts a short time I began to improve and all these alliments have disappeared and now I am a well woman. My two children have been almost raised on Grape-Nuts, which they eat three times a day. "They are pictures of health and have never had the least symptom of stomach trouble, even through the most severe siege of whooping cough they could retain Grape-Nuts when all else failed. "Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor bills, and has been, therefore, a most economical food for us." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

The product of the Wooten coal mines, operated by the Morgan interests in Las Animas county, is to be tested by the government on battleships. If the coal meets the requirements of the government, large contracts will be secured, and it is said the first one will be for 150,000 tons. To cut the prices of coal in half was the offer of Max Bird of Walsenburg to the Pueblo Business Men's Association. Mr. Bird proposes that the association go into a co-operative plan of distributing coal by which he claims the consumers can be saved 50 per cent of the present price. The association appointed a committee to look into the matter. The withdrawal from entry of 9,920 acres of government land in northwestern Weld county by the register of the land office at Sterling, marks the last step preparatory to the issuance of bonds for the purpose of building the Pawnee reservoir, in eastern Weld county, near Keota, by the Pawnee Irrigated Lands Company. The company is capitalized at $500,000 and Dr. F. P. Lonergan of Evans is its president. Weld county will have a permanent fair organization and next September it will inaugurate an old-fashioned county fair, to be held annually. The Farmers' Club, the Commercial Club and the Gentlemen's Driving Club will co-operate and it is proposed to have the fair the week previous to the Interstate fair in Denver, so that the prize exhibits may also be entered at Denver and Pueblo. It is stated that Sen, T. M. Patterson is planning to build a skyscraper at the corner of Seventeenth and Welton streets in Denver. The building will be twelve stories tall and cost in the neighborhood of $500,000, it is said. The old Patterson block and two other buildings which now occupy the site of the structure will be pulled down, and the offices of the News-Times will be provided for in another building on Glenarm street on property Senator Patterson recently purchased. The land holders of the Henrylyn Irrigation district have voted to ratify the letting of the contract for the construction of the system to S. R. H. Robinson Company of St. Louis. The price is $3,296,000, and the contract provides for completion of the system in one year from April next and the turning of 5,000,000 yards of dirt during that time. This district was formed in September, 1907, and embraces 100,000 acres of land. Water is to be furnished at not to exceed $30 an acre. By the explosion of dynamite in the old Pandora slide J. A. Manifold, owner of the Pandora lease at Telluride, brought down thousands of tons of snow. Snow guards were crested to protect the buildings. This action was taken to protect the workmen on the lease, who had to cross the track of the slide to their work. A cat that will care for tiny chickens is the odd property of W. J.

THE Colorado CHE Two white coats, one of eiderdown and one of cashmere, three styles of bootees, a quilted house coat and a printed flannel or crape bathrobe, a long flannel petticoat, a short linen dress, three styles of sacques, and flannelette night-drawers for the small folk. FASHIONS for a baby may sound a bit far-fetched, yet fashions there are, just as surely as for grown ups. Of course there are not the whimsical vagaries of the Paris modes, but each year one finds preferences for certain styles and materials in baby clothes. One might call this a "corduroy" year, for that is the favorite material for coats for the wee ones. One of the best features of corduroy is that it lauers beautifully. It comes in many lovely colors, and is particularly pretty in white. It would be difficult to imagine a sweeter or more cozy-looking coat and bonnet for a very small baby than one of white corduroy. is first to be basted on, with the ribbons for fastening basted where the stitching will pass over them and hold them in place. The two little sacques in the lower part of the sketch are also machine made. One is of white outing flannel with a pink dot, and pink wash ribbon binding and bows. The other is of white cashmere, with blue and white ribbon. The remaining jacket is of white flannel, with buttonholed edges and ribbons of pink. This is one of the best models for a jacket, as it opens out flat, all in one piece, thus making it very easy to launder. There are ribbons tied under the arm to hold the garment in place. For summer, this is an ideal model carried out Snowy elderdow is another favorite material for the tiny one's winter coat. It is a very warm lightweight material. A coat of white elderdow is shown in the upper right-hand corner of the sketch. It is cut with the sleeves and body in one piece, kimono fashion. These are the newest lines in a baby's coat, and they are very becoming. It does away with the little shoulder cape, which must be a great discomfort to the child, for the capes are always blowing up into his face on a windy day. In the coat illustrated, a dainty touch is given by little pink rosebuds embroidered on the front. They are done with a plain embroidery stitch, and as there are only a few of them, it would perhaps take only an hour of two to work them, and the result is well worth while. The bonnet is of eiderdown, with an embroidered bunch of wee pink rosebuds at each side. The other sketch is a cape and hood for summer of white cashmere. It is buttonholed with silk and embroidered in the corner. The ties and bows on the hood are of baby blue satin ribbon, and there is a frill of lace inside the hood. If one could not put so much hand work on the cape, the same model is very attractive made of white challis, henrietta or cashmere, and bound on the edge with pink or blue ribbon, in place of the buttonholing. These capes are very pretty made of pale blue or sea-shell pink outing flannel, bound and tied with matching wash ribbon. In all babies' clothes daintiness and simplicity are the keynotes, though the tiny garments must first be absolutely comfortable. It is almost impossible for women who have many household duties to attend to do all the baby's sewing by hand. Of course, it is preferable, for the little dainty fine things seem to require the most delicate of sewing. However, there are many little jackets and wrappers that it would be a waste of time for the busy mother to think of doing other than by machine, for they wear out quickly. There has been a fancy of late to make the wee one's kimonos and dressing sacques of gay flowered materials, Japanese fashion. They are remarkably pretty, too, these flower and butterfly and bird strenu garments. Such tiny little things to be so gay! The wrapper in the sketch is the very essence of spring. It is a creamy flannel, with apple blossoms in delicate pinks, gorgeous butterflies and brilliant birds scattered over it. The ribbons are a lovely rose pink. Every bit of this wrapper is made by machine. It is cut on kimono lines and flat seamed. The ribbon binding is first to be basted on, with the ribbons for fastening basted on where the stitching will pass over them and hold them in place. The two little sacques in the lower part of the sketch are also machine made. One is of white outing flannel with a pink dot, and pink wash ribbon binding and bows. The other is of white cashmere, with blue and white ribbon. The remaining jacket is of white flannel, with buttonholed edges and ribbons of pink. This is one of the best models for a jacket, as it opens out flat, all in one piece, thus making it very easy to launder. There are ribbons tied under the arm to hold the garment in place. For summer, this is an ideal model carried out in plique, with colored ribbon, and a little embroidery. The edges may be ribbon bound if there is no time for hand work, but every baby should boast two or three hand embroidered jackets for "best." Though the outer garment may be made satisfactorily, even daintily, by machine, it is absolutely essential that the underclothing be hand-made. Machine-run seams are hard and ridgy, and make the wee one uncomfortable. All seams must be sewn as flat and smooth as possible. The little white dresses are the prettiest things imaginable. Only very fine lace should be used, if any. If possible, real valenciennes or very fine white cluny is best. The most delicate hand embroidery is very charming—veritable fairy tracery. Of course, this is not practical for the average woman, but the little frock may be fine and pretty, though perfectly plain. A baby is the daintiest, cleanest thing in the world, and one would no more think of putting a hard, coarse cotton dress on it than one would think of putting a bunch of American Beauty roses in a wooden scrubbing pail. The little gowns should be made of nainsook, mull, bafiste or handkerchief linen, or fine lawn. The bishop style is very quaint, and the little round yokes are pretty. The neck and wristband must not be too togt. Some very pretty little dresses may be found in the shops for quite reasonable sums. So many are necessary for the babykins that it is as well to buy a few ready made. So much for the dresses. Then there are the bootees. These are adorable things, quite fit to tread the rose-hued path of infancy. There is simply an endless variety of baby shoes. Three are shown in the sketch; a pair of costly fleece-lined bootees, another of pink taffeta with ribbon rosettes, and a pair of soft kid Indian moccasins. Put this very mannish form of baby footgear on a wee boy, and he will crow with delight and immediately begin to kick and assert his manhood. In the right-hand corner of the sketch is a merry little lad, all ready for bed in his night-drawers and pointed cap. A piquant alr has that cap. The whole outfit is simply ideal for a jolly pillow-fight on a winter's night. The grown-ups always long to join in, but of course they can't—the small fry would think it very odd of "the Olympians."

Aigrettes Are Something It Is Well for the Housewife Always to Have on Hand—Cheese Relish Cheese Aigrettes.—I have chosen this recipe because cheese is always a popular savory, and the aigrettes may be prepared beforehand, and will only need reheating just before serving. But if by any chance you happen to have received a present of a Silton cheese, serve that instead. It is sure to be appreciated. Hand with it tiny dinner biscuits. Now for the aigrettes. Required: Four ounces of flour, half a pint of cold water, one ounce of butter, two eggs, three ounces of grated cheese, salt, pepper and cayenne. Dry and sieve the flour. Put the butter and water in a pan on the fire. When it boils add the flour, and stir the mixture over the fire until it will leave the sides of the pan quite clean. Let it cool slightly, then add the eggs, beating each one in separately. Next add the cheese and seasoning, and spread the mixture on a plate to cool. Have ready some frying fat, and when the faintest blue smoke is just beginning to come from it drop a teaspoonful of the mixture into it, and fry slowly till a golden-brown. Drain on paper. When they are to be served heat and sprinkle with grated cheese. Cheese Rellish.—Roll six crackers fine, season with one-quarter teaspoon of pepper, one teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of dry mustard. Put in a spider $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups of milk, butter size of an English walnut, a quarter of a pound or more if you wish of rich cheese, shaved thin. When cheese is melted stir in slowly the rolled crackers and serve. To Clean a Raincoat. Mackintosh coats which have become hard and rigid may be easily cleaned with lime and water, and made to look as good as new. A handful of the best gray lime should be dissolved in half a bucketful of water, and the mixture applied to the stiffened parts by means of a piece of sponge. This should be repeated at the end of three or four hours. Cashmere is always easily cleaned and the spots removed if they are not of too long standing. A paste should be made of fuller's earth and cold water, and laid over the marks if they do not yield to simple sponging with water, to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. When dry, the paste should be brushed off and the garment well shaken in the open air. Roasting a Fowl. A good way to roast a tough fowl to render it tender and juicy as young spring chicken, is by the French method: After twisting the wings of the fowl over on the back and forcing the legs up against the body snugly, securing them with skewer and twine, and fastening the skin of the neck neatly on the back with a tootphick, wrap it entirely in soft paper, which should be large enough to cover it twice; tie with twine. Put the fowl thus wrapped into a hot oven, let it remain there half an hour, after which remove the paper, taking care to let all the grease that may be in the paper run into the pan. Flour the fowl a little, set it back in the oven and roast. It will be found exceedingly tender—"Home Department" National Magazine. Steamed Fig Pudding. One cup of chopped beef suet, one cupful of chopped figs, one cupful of flour, one-half cupful of sugar, one-half teaspoonful each of salt and soda. Mix to a stiff dough with cold water and steam for two hours in a round mold. Sauce for the pudding is made of the syrup from spiced peaches, to which has been added one-half cupful of sugar and the whole allowed to boil. Serve the pudding in slices on small plates, with the sauce poured over, and accompanied by spiced peaches. Soap for Removing Spots. Chip three-fourths of a bar of good laundry soap into one or two gallons water; let stand over night till dissolved. Then add three ounces of white sugar, two ounces of honey and $ \frac{1}{2} $ ounces of turpentine and boil together till it drops off the end of a spoon. Remove from fire and let cool. Then cut into bars. This is an excellent soap for cleaning men's clothing and washing all woolen and cotton fabrics, as it restores the colors. Broiled Young Guinea Hen For broiling, split down the back and flatten. Brush over with olive oil or melted butter and broil over gas or a good bed of coals. Lay on a hot platter, season with salt and pepper, spread with a rounding tablespoonful of butter stirred with a tablespoonful finely minced parsley, garnish with water cress and little molds or spoonfuls of cranberry jelly, and serve. Comforts. One cup milk, one cup sugar, two eggs, a little salt, two and one-half cups of flour, three teaspoons baking powder. Mix thoroughly and drop from a spoon into boiling lard. Fry a light brown. Delicious Jelly. When pouring crab apple jelly in glass first place a washed sweet-scented geranium leaf in bottom of glass. The leaf will rise to top, leaving a most delicious flavor to the jelly.
