Give the Ta PRESIDENT TAFT'S INAUGURAL. For seven years the turnbelent and active spirit of President Roosevelt has kept the nation on the tip-toe of expectancy. From Roosevelt, something new and startling might be expected each day. With the passing of such a man and the induction of one whose physical and mental makeup is entirely opposite, a radical change in all policies is to be expected. The inaugural address in a large degree forecasts and outlines the policy of the administration. The Taft idea of dealing with all public questions is thoroughly and clearly set forth in his inaugural address, which is a state paper of high order. The Taft idea is that the general government at Washington is but the agent of the people, and that the people control. That all laws and changes in laws should eminate from the people and conform to public sentiment. Our people have been, and are now, vitally interested in the new president's position towards the race. On the race question, as on other questions, Mr. Taft's policy will be just the opposite of the late administration. THE TAFT IDEA. From vogue rumors, and the reading of the inaugural address, the idea might obtain that President Taft proposes to abandon the Negro, entirely to the tender mercies of the south. But such is not the case. And the colored man who believes that the national government under Mr. Taft has eliminated the Negro, and that there will not be extended to the race every possible aid consistent with the rights of the local government and extent of the offense against the laws has a wrong conception of the Taft idea. While it will not be the purpose of the general government to interfere with "the domestic affairs of the South," "Southern legislation must" obey the Fifteenth Amendment." Now then, if the administration will compel the Southern states (and the president says they must), to make all statutes conform to the Fifteenth Amendment, a long stride forwarded in the enjoyment of political and civic rights will accrue to the Negro. With better protection in his rights as a citizen, and a continuation of present prosperity the --- condition of the Negro in the South as well as all over the country, will be revolutionized. The theory of President Taft is to let the Negro and white man of the South alone, and let them work out their own salvation. This policy works in the north, east and west why not in the South. He believes that efforts should be made to bring the better class of Negroes and whites together, and that eventually they will control. This is a statesmanlike and philanthropic view to take, but the poor Negro of the South who has viewed the "best whites" through a telescope for the past forty years, hears it with a shiver. Yet this idea, however, is not without its good features, and is well worth trying. Let the best of the two races get together. MAKING APPOINTMENTS. In the appointment of Negroes to places under the federal government will be found the rock upon which the race and the administration will split, in case the Taft idea prevails. The past history of Negro appointments and the insistence of the late administration on the confirmation of it colored appointees, and their acceptance by the people over whom they are appointed, will be jarred by the Taft idea of avoiding such appointments "where it will do the race more harm than good. This is the Booker Washington idea adopted by Mr. Taft. Proceed along the line of least resistance, thereby creating the least friction. The wisdom of this course is easily apparent if we will but give the idea careful consideration. Nothing can be gained to a people or a political party unless its appointees are acceptable to the people and the community in which they live. Here in Colorado, the Democratic party is enjoying the spoils of office because of the unpopularity of men who were depended upon to deliver the wards and precinets. The same is true among colored men, the party leaders must select men who can promote the interest of the party and bring something to add to the final result. It is to be hoped that the party leaders in Colorado, will learn of President Taft that results are accomplished through men agreeable to the people. On the theory of Mr. Taft, and it is a good one, there will result greater indus DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 13. 1909. trial prosperity. If we could induce our leaders to spend more energy obtaining changes in industrial conditions whereby colored men can rise above train porters, to brakeman and conductors and become members of trade unions of all classes, they would benefit the race more than securing one federal position for a Negro. What the Negro needs is greater industrial opportunity. Men, who have been placed in the lead and to whom the great mass of our people look for advice and guidance, should appreciate the responsibility of their position. It devolves upon them to bring the best class of white and colored together. This requires men of sense and judgment. Men whose individual success in their community commands the respect of all. Successful political leaders need the same kind of brains required by business men. This is the Taft idea, and it puts a premium on brains. His idea demands the best of the Negro. It will apply in Colorado as well as in Alabama. Let the Taft idea have a fair trial and doubt screams. PHILLIS WHEAT- LEY'S POEMS One of the rarities in the library of Henry A. Smith of Milford, Conn, which was sold a short time ago, was a first edition of "Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral, by Phillis Wheatley, Negro Servant to John Wheatley of Boston, in New England," a 12mo. published in 1773, with a portrait of the authoress. Phillis was born in Africa about 1753 and was brought to the United States by a slave trader in 1761. Her only recollection of her childhood in Africa was that of her heathen mother worshiping the rising sun. Phillis was bought in a slave market by John Wheatly of Boston and was educated by his daughters. She learned soon to read and write English and studied Latin. In 1775 she addressed a poem and a letter to George Washington and received a reply from him, thanking her for the poem and saying that he would be pleased to have her call on him in his camp if she ever happened to be in or near Cambridge, Mass. A few days before the British evacuated Boston she visited the American camp and was cordially received by General Washington. She married a Negro named Peters and lived in poverty. She died in Boston in 1784. In the library of Harvard is a copy of "Paradise Lost" which the lord mayor of London, England, presented to her in 1774 while she was on a visit there. The genuineness of her "Poems on Various Subjects" was attested by such prominent New Englanders as Governor Thomas Hutchison, John Hancock, the Rev. Samuel Mather, John Wheatley and Andrew Eliot. The first edition was published in London in 1773 and the second edition in Albany in 1793. It was republished in Philadelphia in 1801, entitled "The Negro Equaled by Few Europeans." — Ex. HAMPTON ALUMNI MEETING. The Hampton graduates residing in Greater New York and Jersey City met at the residence of Augustus M. Hodges, 1994 Fulton street, Brooklyn, last Wednesday evening and reorganized The New York Circle of the Hampton Alumni. The following officers were elected: Augustus M. Hodges, '74, president; James R. Spurgeon '92, vice-president; Jonn F. Pool, '74, secretary; Mrs. M. M. Snowden, '77, treasurer; Wm. T. Greenhow, '74, chairman executive committee; Willis F. Hodges, '86, critic. All Hampton graduates, not memders of The New York Circle, residing in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, can be placed upon the roll by sending their names and addresses to the secretary, John F. Pool, 28 St. Felix street, Brooklyn. In order to form a more perfect union of Hampton graduates in Greater New York, the Circle intends to publish a monthly magazine called "The Social Chat," the first issue of which will be publish April 15. The editor will be Mr. A. M. Hodges. Eliot's Stand on Mixed Races Montgomery, Ala., March 9. "There should be no admixture of racial stocks," declared retiring President Eliot of Harvard university, here last night. "I believe, for example, that the Irish should not intermarry with the Americans of English descent; that the Germans should not marry the Italians; that the Jews should not marry the French. Each race should maintain its own individuality. "The experience of civilization shows that racial stocks are never mixed with profit, and that such unions do not bring forth the best and strongest children. There is no reason, however, why the races cannot live together, side by side, in perfect peace and amity. "In the case of the Negroes and the whites, the races should be kept apart in every respect. The South has a wise policy. I believe that Booker T. Washington has the right ideals, and that Dubois is injuring the progress of his race with his views. "In the North we are afflicted in our civic life by having masses of voters who know nothing of liberty. Take the Irish—they themselves say that at home they had no experience in self government. Our problem is to show the newer arrivals that it is to their interest to have efficient government and not lavish expenditures." RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES A large number of moving picture theatres for colored people are springing up in Washington, D.C. Several opened on Seventh street last Saturday evening, being promoted by P. J. Reynolds, for many years an actor and the organizer of the American Actors' Society of New York. The scheme was announced on February 25 at Atlanta whereby 20,000 acres of land will be purchased, which will be sold to 400 Negroes in 50-acre lots on the installment plan, as a practical uplift to Georgia Negroes. At that, there will be certain lofty individuals in Atlanta who will object on the score that it is a scheme to tie the Negroes down to the earth. Four Negro clerks are now being employed in the Missouri Legislature by the Republicans. Those Missouri Negroes, while they are loyal to the G. O. P. all right and recognize the race's need of more than political berths, have been plainly asking to be showed the way to the State and national pie counter; have declared "never again" for the Democrats, and have established a line of perpetual succession in four jobs already. Watertown, N. Y., February 27.—Col. Paulding, commander of the Twenty-fourth Infantry (colored), stationed at Madison barracks, Sackett's Harbor, today issued an order for oidding the enlisted men from entering that village without first having secured a pass. A reward of $100 has been raised by the members of the regiment for the capture of the assailant of Edith Gambley, providing he proves to be a member of the regiment. Charlotte, N. C., Jan. 28.—Lettie Baldwin, a colored woman of Ashboro, yesterday persented her self for a license for her fourth marriage. She stated that she professed religion seven years before the Civil war, and at the close of the war had nine children. Investigation authentically established the fact that she is 101 years old, and is the mother of eighteen children. Tom Pike, the bridegroom, is 45. NO.25 Pittsburg, Penn., March 2. Howard Hall, of Pittsburg, a colored boy, won the indoor Marathon race here to night with ease, being nearly two lags ahead of the second man. The race was for the championship of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, but only one Ohio man and one West Virginia man were entered, the rest of the runners being from Pittsburg and Western Pennsylvania. Hall easily maintained the lead during the whole course. Summary: Howard H. Hall, Pittsburg, won; R. G. Teckemeyer, Pittsburg, second; Walter A. Gordon, Rochester, Penn, third; Peter G. Kenny, Pittsburg, fourth; W. O. Quigley, Pittsburg, fifth. Time—3:29:54. For the first time in the history of Philadelphia an Afro-American is to act as a district deputy coroner. The new deputy is John W. Harris of 1526 Catharine street, Philadelphia, who was recently appointed by Coroner John W. Ford. The appointment of Mr. Harris caused much surprise among the politicans, although it was said that the appointment was in accordance with an agreement made by Coroner Ford when he took charge of the office. Coroner Ford first appointed Mr. Harris as messenger in the office at a salary of $720 a year, it being understood that he was to be advanced in time to a $1,200 position as deputy district cononer. A miniature race war has broken out between white and Negro school supporters of public section No. 9, a short distance from Puce, Ont. The trouble arose over the hiring of a new teacher to take charge of the school at the beginning of the year. As the result of a previous election the school board is composed of Trustees Walls and Hersey (colored), and Chairman Standish, a white man. The board had several applications, but selected a colored girl from Amherstburg. Then dissatisfaction broke out among the white supporters. Out of 20 whites registered at the beginning of the year only two or three are in attendance now. An effort was made to send the children to a school in an adjoining section, but they were refused admittance. Some of the irate parents were in Windsor yesterday consulting school authorities. If nothing else can be done they say they are prepared to start a private school. The Difference. Little Lester Livermore—Papa, what is the difference between a vision and a sight?

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Senator Guggenheim has been elected to membership in the Metropolitan club of Washington and an honorary member of the National Press club. Joseph B. Foraker, ex-United States senator from Ohio, has indicated that he fully approves President Taft's view on the negro question outlined in his inaugural address. President Taft, when interviewed by several representatives, declined to commit himself on the "insurgent" movement to revise the House rules so as to curb the power of the speaker. Arrangements have been perfected for holding the annual matches of the National Rifle Association of America on the Camp Perry, O., range, immediately following the national matches about August 27.

Fight on Banking Bill. Senator Crowley recently gave out a paragraph from a letter sent to the People's Home Bank of Rocky Ford, asking a contribution of $25 as a pro rata share to fight the banking bill introduced by Senator Crowley. He said that if the same proportion was maintained in raising money from all the other banks in the state, a fund of $20,000 had been raised to kill his bill. New Laws Affecting Convicts.

"My baby was sitting beside the fender and we were preparing the breakfast when the frying-pan full of boiling grease was upset and it went all over one side of her face and head. Some one wiped the scald with a towel, pulling the entire skin off. We took her to a doctor. He tended her a week and gave me some stuff to put on. But it all festered and I thought the baby was disfigured for life. I used about three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and it was wonderful how it healed. In about five weeks it was better and there wasn't a mark to tell where the scald had been. Her skin is just like velvet. Mrs. Hare, 1, Henry St., South Shields, Durham, England, March 22, 1908."

"That's just what it is, neighbor," answered Arizona Al. "The editor of the Weekly Cactus Spine was buried over there last week." "What was his complaint?" "He didn't have none. It was Coyote Cal that had the complaint. You see, there was a baby born up to Cal's house a spell ago, and the editor wrote an item about it, sayin' a tow-headed little girl he'd come to make Cal and his woman happy, but it 'pears that the printer got the letters mixed somehow. Leastways it said in the paper when Cal read it that it was a two-headed baby, and him bein' an impulsive cuss, there won't nothin' to do but hold the funeral the next day but one." Lese Maleste A teacher in one of the schools of Berlin has given to the papers of that city a composition written by one of the pupils in his school on the subject, "The Kaiser," in the course of which the young author says: "Prince Wilhelm was born on the kaiser's birthday. From the dome of the castle 101 salute shots were fired. The old grandfather and old Wrangel hopped into a cab and went to the schloss, and old Wrangel said: 'The boy is all right,' and the father made a bow from the balcony, and it was awful cold. And when the boy was baptized his father held his watch in front of the little fellow's nose, and he grabbed it and never let go again, because he is a Hohenzollern." A New Standard "I knew they were putting on airs. They let on that their silverware was all solid and now the whole world knows it isn't." "How did it come out?"

FOR COOKERY BOOK RECIPES THAT ARE WORTHY OF PRESERVATION. Spanish Buns, with Frosting—Ingredients Needed for Simple Cheese Dish — Mock Cauliflower—Little Coffee Creams. Spanish Buns.—Two cups brown sugar, half-cup molasses, three-quarters cup butter, three-quarters cups sweet milk, $3\frac{1}{2}$ cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder, five eggs, one teaspoon cloves, three teaspoons cinnamon. cup butter, three quarters cups sweet milk, 3½ cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder, five eggs, one teaspoon cloves, three teaspoons cinnamon, half nutmeg grated. Bake in dripping pans, and while warm cut in small squares and frost. This makes three dozen buns, which keep perfectly. For frosting use the whites of two eggs, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, a dash of cloves and beat in enough brown sugar to thicken. Simple Cheese Dish—The young housekeeper, as well as old, will welcome this simple dish. Ingredients needed are: One egg, one cup sweet milk, bread and butter (four or five slices), cheese, salt and pepper. Beat the egg, add the milk, and into this batter dip a slice of buttered bread. Place this in a buttered baking dish and grate cheese over it, add salt and pepper. Then place another slice of bread, and so on until the dish is filled. Pour on the remaining batter and bake about fifteen minutes, until well browned. This rule is sufficient for three people. To Keep Eggs Light—In making omelet, or souffle, where yolks and whites of eggs are beaten separately, it will be much lighter if the beaten yolks are stirred into the beaten whites. Mock Cauliflower—Chop together one-half small head of cabbage, one single bunch celery, cook 30 minutes, or until tender, in just enough water to cover. When done add one cup of milk, season, dash of pepper, small piece of butter, thicken a little. Little Coffee Creams—The yolks of six eggs, a cupful of cream, half a pint of strong coffee, sugar to taste, and some lady fingers. Beat the yolks, add to them the cream and coffee, which should be nearly cold, sweeten to taste. Strain the custard into small ramakin cases, place these in a shallow pan containing enough boiling water to come half way up the cases. Lay a sheet of buttered paper across the top. Put the lid on the pan and steam gently for 20 minutes. Then take the cases out and leave till the custard is perfectly cold. Serve them in the ramakin cases, with a little heap of whipped and flavored cream on the top. Hand with them the lady fingers. Grape Juice Punch Those who do not like pure grape juice may care for a punch of it. The following formula is said to be excellent: Use a pint of grape juice to a quart of water, add a cup of sugar, the juice of one orange and of three lemons. Add a cup of sliced orange and shredded pineapple, and serve from a punch bowl. Creamed Beef. Take one-fourth pound of dried beef, pull into small pieces, and fry slightly in a heaping teaspoon butter. Add a tablespoon of flour, and when brown pour into it a half pint cream or rich milk and cook until thick and creamy. Serve on toast. This makes an excellent luncheon dish. Orange Jumbles. One-third cup butter, one cup sugar, one egg, one-third cup milk, 3 1/4 cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder, one-half teaspoon salt, one teaspoon orange extract. Cut with doughnut cutter, sprinkle with sugar and bake in moderate oven. Bacon and Calf's Liver. Both bacon and liver should be in thin slices. Fry the bacon and remove it as soon as it is done enough to a hot dish before the fire; flour and pepper the liver and place it in the pan; turn frequently until done, then place a slice of bacon on each slice of liver. Make a gravy by pouring off the fat and dredging a little flour into the pan; pour in enough water to supply the quantity of gravy desired, add a tablespoon of lemon juice, boil, and pour upon the dish. Garnish with slices of lemon. Bread Pancakes. Soak stale bread in cold water until soft, then pour off the water and rub the bread very fine. Add a pinch of salt and one dissolved yeast cake. If the batter is too thick, add a little sweet milk or cold water, then add flour in proportion to the quantity of batter you wish, and set to rise over night. In the morning put in a beaten egg and a little baking soda. Bake on a griddle. Remember that the less flour you have the better and lighter will be the cakes.

TO RUN LINE TO DENVER WOULD ESTABLISH COMPETITION WITH INTERURBAN ELEC-TRIC AND C. & S. Boulder.—Superintendent Vickroy of the Union Pacific was here Tuesday with Superintendent, Mooney of the Northern Colorado Power Company, inspecting the street railway system with a view, it is said, of taking over the road and operating it in connection with the Union Pacific steam line into this city. The new line being built by the Union Pacific will strike the Brighton branch a few miles east of here, affording a much shorter route between Boulder and Denver and by way of Brighton, and will be but a few miles longer than the Colorado & Southern. This line, if electrified and operated in connection with the present street railway system, would enable the Union Pacific to become a competitor with the interurban and Colorado & Southern for the passenger business between Boulder and Denver, which exceeds $100,000 annually. The Northern Colorado Power Company, which owns the street railway system, is anxious to dispose of it. Fire at Granada. Denver:—A Granada, Prowers county, dispatch Tuesday night says: A fire of mysterious origin last night threatened the entire town of Granada, but only five buildings were destroyed. Those who witnessed it declare that had not the wind ceased blowing, Granada would have been wiped off the map. The following buildings burned to the ground: Irving's merchandise store, First National Bank, Granada Mercantile Company and Boggs' furniture store. The Dickinson Mercantile Company's building was badly scorched. All the buildings were owned by J. S. Mayfield, who says he will immediately rebuild on a more extensive scale than before. He estimates the total loss at $40,000, and his individual loss at $25,000, partly covered by insurance. People from a radius of eight miles rame in in automobiles, buggies and very kind of conveyance to assist in fighting the flames. Western Slope Railroads. Denver.—Seemingly well-founded rumors of a railroad from Delta or Montrose into the Paradox valley agricultural and mining districts of Western Colorado refuse to down, says the Denver Republican. Also there has been inaugurated a movement by the commercial clubs of Paonia to secure the building of the Colorado & Southern into that city from its present terminus at Baldwin, in Gunnison county. That Western Colorado will shortly have those two new lines of railroad seems assured. J. Carman Layton and a party of Pittsburg capitalists are behind the Paradox valley road, which will be privately owned, and will reach La Sal copper fields, on the Colorado-Utah line. It is understood that its financing is well under way. There is also a fruit acreage available there that will be made immensely valuable by the advent of the new railroad. Boosting for Steamboat Springs. Denver:—The Republican Wednesday morning says: Steamboat Springs, in Routt county, is out to become a "convention city" and an excursion point of scenic interest to the tourist world. A handsome hotel to accommodate 250 guests is now being erected for the travelers who can now reach the enterprising city over the Moffat road. Led by Charles H. Lechenby, editor of the Steamboat Springs Pilot, a "boosting" committee from there has been in Denver for several days advertising the commercial and natural advantages of their home city. Through Mr. Lechenby's efforts the State Editorial Association has decided to hold its midsummer meeting at Steamboat Springs on August 16, 17 and 18. The editors, numbering at least 250, will travel in a special train over the Moffat road. The Delta County Business Men's Association has asked the Colorado & Southern Railway Company to build an extension from Gunnison to Delta, about twenty-five miles. It is pointed out that with the opening of the Gunnison tunnel there will be largely increased business and the Colorado & Southern would furnish a more direct outlet to Denver. Prof. J. R. Morgan has been elected superintendent of the public schools of Trinidad. He takes the position made vacant by the resignation of J. R. Treat, who becomes president of the Colorado Baptist college for women at Montclair. Professor Morgan has been teaching for thirteen years. He is a graduate of the University of Colorado. Company H. Colorado National Guard at Brush has opened its armory for an opera house by presenting "The Prisoner of War" to a large audience. The armory gives Brush a much needed hall for entertainment. COLORADO NEWS COLORADO NEWS The local option advocates of Trinidad are publishing a campaign paper. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Ellison of Westcliffe have just started on a four-year tour of the world. Thirty-two hens belonging to Mrs. Brady at Greeley laid 309 eggs last month. The eggs sold at 50 cents a dozen, which is a handsome profit. The Florence City Council has completed its budget for the fiscal year, the appropriations totaling $37,550, which is about $9,000 less than last year. A herd of thirty-five tame antelope is a curiosity on the John Painter ranch at Roggen in Weld county. The early snows last fall drove the animals into the ranch for food and they have been cared for all winter with the cattle on the ranch. The annual interstate debate between the Universities of Colorado and Kansas will take place at Lawrence, Kansas, on March 25th. Arrangements are already under way for the Colorado-Texas debate which will occur sometime in May. The Gill-Decker Improvement Company has been organized, capitalized at $40,000, to plat the townsite of Gill, eight miles northeast of Greeley on the new extension of the Union Pacific. The town promises to become an important shipping point. Among the younger branches of study and personal training that are being developed in the University of Colorado is the Department of Oratory and Dramatic Expression. This department has charge of the very successful Dramatic Club. At Fort Morgan on the 9th inst. Professor Bennett of the Agricultural College lectured to about seventy-five farmers on the growing of potatoes, it being the desire of the farmers in the vicinity to take up this industry. This year several hundred acres will be planted. Writing to the Mining Journal, London, England, Thomas Tonge, the noted Denver newspaper correspondent, says: "From a personal knowledge of Leadville since 1883, and of present conditions there, the writer believes all indications are that the child is not yet born who will live to see Leadville 'played out' as a profitable mining district." A load dumping apparatus that is in big demand among sugar factories is the cause of a suit for $50,000 damages instituted by Timothy Carroll of California against Merritt I. Tuttle, one of the wealthiest sugar beet growers in Ft. Morgan. Carroll claims to be the inventor of the apparatus and alleges that Tuttle has been using it in his factory without permission. Fearing that their bill will be tabled during the rush of the closing days of the legislature, the Fremont County Roads Association, which is asking an appropriation of $30,000 from the state for a macadamized driveway between Fremont county points and Colorado Springs, has decided to send one of its members to Denver to lobby in the interests of the bill. The object of this driveway is to draw tourists from Colorado Springs. Mrs. Grace Clark, known better as Miss Grace Gale, formerly of Greeley, later of Los Angeles, Cal., is dead at Bombay, India. Mrs. Clark left California a few months ago for a trip around the world with friends. She was born in Greeley and was the daughter of Mrs. Jennie Gale, her father, O. P. Gale, being one of the pioneers of Greeley, and dying many years ago. Local option is expected to cut quite a figure in the coming Pueblo city election. Petitions have been filed with the clerk by the anti-saloon people asking for local option elections in the First, Second Fifth, Seventh and Eighth wards. Petitions are now being circulated in the Fourth and petitions have also been filed asking for elections in two precincts in both the Fifth and Eighth wards. W. H. Kincaid, general superintendent of the state fish hatcheries under Governor Buchtel, has applied to the United States government for a lease of the Grand Mesa lake on Grand Mesa. Mr. Kincaid announces that if he can secure a lease on the property for at least ten years he will stock the lake with a number of varieties of trout and permit people to fish there during the open season. During the rest of the time he will use the lakes for spawning fish. The Union Pacific Railroad Company on the 9th inst., established a record for a one-day shipment of sheep from the northern Colorado field, when it hauled 117 cars of this class of freight from the stations of Fort Collins, Greeley, Eaton and Timnath. Over 39,100 sheep were represented in the shipment, which is as many as the ordinary total consignments for an entire week. Sheep shipments from northern Colorado are divided between the Union Pacific, the Chicago & Northwestern, and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. The railroads have promised special reduced rates for the department encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Trinidad in May. Trinidad people propose to give the veterans and their auxiliary societies a hearty welcome and the best of entertainment. Eighty million passengers were carried on the cars of the Denver City Tramway Company during the fiscal year ending February 11, 1909. This is an increase of 15,000,000 over the previous year.

And now it is said that New Mexico will miss statehood for the | present on account of the misapprehensions of the United States Senate regarding the misconduct of some of her leading politicians in the di- rection of territorial affairs. ‘There is a big seandal out at Washington which makes matters look bad for Miss New Mexico, These political love affairs seem to be more uncertain than any other. Poor Miss New Mexico! She loyed not wisely. But how about our other western daughter, the beautiful Arizona? OPTIMISM AND THE NEGRO PROBLEM. Optimism is a good quality to possess under any circumstances, It brings suceess in many eases where pessimism would have brought failure. Light-heartedness, hopefulness, patience and faith in the ulti- mate triumph of righteousness are universally recognized among the Negro’s saving graces. There are many friends of the Negro, in the white race, who be- lieve as steadfastly as the Negro himself believes, that the latter, ulti- mately, will be elevated to a position of equal importance in the affairs of thé nation and of the world, as that enjoyed by the more fortunate races of the earth, A far greater number of white people, however, believe that the Negro is descined to be forever a follower and a mimic of the advanced races, rather than a sharer and partaker of equal ad- vantages and benefits with them. There are extremists to be found in each of these elements, outside of the Negro race, whose ideas are not safe considerations for the establishment of either extreme hope or ex- treme fear in the minds of sober persons who are watchful cyer the changing conditions of the Negro citizen. ‘The extremist who condemns the Negro to everlasting inferiority need not be abjectly feared, for the weight of accumulated eyidence is entirely against him. he ex- tremist who expects the Negro to suddenly shake off all of his dis- abilities and inequalities should not be too implicitly confided in, for a too great measure of hopefulness nurses manifold dangers, such as have ever brought disappointment, desolation and destruction to man- kind. Recently in these columns we published the widely recorded views of an English expert observer of racial conditions, who expressed the belief that there would be no Negro problem in the United States in twenty years. ‘Tt is a consummation devoutly to be wished,’ but it partakes too much of the character of a miracle to become a reliable prophecy. Twenty years cover the life of only one generation. ‘The young man or woman graduating from school this year, will not have passed off the stage of active effort twenty years hence. The Negro has been struggling forty years since emancipation, and while he has seen the coming of great changes, many of the fundamental ills of "65 yet re- main, He must not expect them to vanish in some sudden and mysteri- ous way. He must realize and aceept his burden and work with un- tiring faith and optimism until the generations, in God's own time, bring their full reward. TUBERCULOSIS CRUSADE, inst the ravages of consumption he United States, and it may be The fact that more than half o disease, has caused it to become of mankind. While statisties h irative destruction of life wroug presence anywhere is a matter of The fight against the ravages of consumption has grown to be a national fight in the United States, and it may be said to be almost a world movement. The fact that more than half of all deaths are di- rectly due to this disease, has caused it to become recognized as the universal scourge of mankind. While statisties have been compiled showing the comparative destruetion of life wrought by it among the different races, its presence anywhere is a matter of such common con- cern to humanity that the necessity for common and universal action against it has come to be generally recognized. This is not because it is contagious, but because it is communicable between persons in most un- expected ways, the ordinary avenues of intercourse among peoples the world over becoming the almost unavoidable means of communicating the disease. Hence the idea of a general crusade against tuberculosis or con- sumption has grown rapidly, and has led to co-operative action between publie health boards and medical associations everywhere, —Statisties at present available declare that the death rate from consumption is almost twice as great among Negroes as it is among persons of the white race, especially in certain localities. This is not necessarily beeause the Negro is more susceptible to the disease than are other people, but rather beeause his manner of living renders him more liable to its contraction and communication. It is not hereditary, but must be contracted from a person suffering with the disease. It starts from a very small germ, which, in the ease of consumption of the lungs, is breathed in with the air or taken into the mouth in other unsuspecting manner. ‘This germ is coughed up and spit up by the sufferer, and this sputum, drying and turning to dust, is swept and scattered about by the mere going and coming of persons, or the germ, perhaps, adheres to the clothing or the hands or beard of the one suffering, through his lack of knowledge of proper preeaution, and then in some manner gets into the system of another person, communication being possible in hundreds of ways. Therefore to teach all people something about the causes of consump- tion, its prevention and its treatment, and to disseminate valuable knowledge in connection therewith is the object of this great crusade. The majority of people, it is said in good health, are not suscepti- ble to consumption, but persons whose systems are weakened through poor and insufficient food, over-work, alcoholism, worry, dissipation, living in dark, damp or over-crowded dwellings, severe diseases like typhoid fever, repeated colds, ete., become the easy prey of consumption. Rules issued for the prevention of the spreading of the disease direct the burning of all sputum by patients, who are direeted to carry paper napkins and a paper bag to keep them in after use, and to follow other careful and cleanly habits. Wash clothes are to be boiled. kissing is put under the ban, and many other reasonable things for the protee- tion of those who are not afflicted and the help of those who are suf- fevers, are included in the advice being issued by state and nationai ussociations having this work in hand. We wish that every person might be provided with all this knowl. edge, and that every state might get in line with the general effort to stamp out this dread disease, and for the particular benefit of our yeaders, we may say more upon the subject in another issue. WASHINGTON __ LETTER thousand men parading to the tunes of more than a hundred crashing bands; amid hurrabs, shouts and joyous peals from. the throats and hearts of hundreds of thousands of people, William How ard Taft on the fourth of March was transformed from a private citizen to the president of the United States, and Theodore Roose- velt from the president of the United States to a private citizen. This inaugural metamorphosis was the most brilliant in the history of the republic. ‘The only happening which detracted from this great scene was the hard and frigid weather. ‘The entire winter, up to Mareh the third has been most ideal, and it seemed that old ‘* King Winter’ reserved his wrath es- pecially for this inauguration. \s the thousands of people from all parts of the country on the third of March were gathering here, and the carnival spirit was at high tide everything appearing bright and at its best, his Wintery Highness summoned every nimbose element in the heavens to assemble directly over Washington, and then in all of his anger he uncorked the most severe assortment of winter weath er. The heavens thundered and lightning flashed, the wind blew, the hail and the rain and the snow raged about until. we were soak ed to the limit. The next morning, the fourth, found Washington mantled in snow and slush. King Winter had taken absolute posses sion of the city, blowing down tel egraph poles, completely tying up the railroad system, and cutting Washington off from all communi cation with the outside world. The day was cold and raw, with a deep slush under foot which was most disagreeable. In speaking of this storm and its disagreeable effect, one man said that it certainly was a fitting farewell to the strenuous Theodore, and nature must — have ordered it especially in his honor. The weather, however, did not stop the inaugural ceremonies whieh were carried out of course ina much handicapped manner, ‘The parade was very much — shortened and many of its features had to be omitted on account of a large num- ber of persons who were to take part in it being storm bound out- side of the city, and thousands of those who were already in the city were prevented from viewing it be- cause of the inclement and dis- agreeable weather conditions. So much has been said and written concerning the decorations, elee- trical display, and other beautiful features of this character that it would be useless for me to attempt to add anything further than to emphasize the grandeur of the Court of Ionor, which extended from Fifteenth street to Seven- teenth street along Pennsylvania avenue in front of the White House and some of the other publie build- ings. The section of the parade whieh would interest colored people most was the magnificent appearance of the first separate battalion of the Distriet Guards, commanded by Major Arthur Brooks; Dr. E. W. Williston and his staff in charge of the third division; and the Philip- pine Constabulary band in charge of Capt. Walter Lovering, the young colored man born and edu- cated in Washington. Capt. Loy- ering organized and trained this band after he was mustered out of the service of a regiment of colored men stationed in the Philippines. During the World's Fair at St. Louis, this band took second prize as the best band in the world. Af- ter the president, Capt. Lovering and his band, it may well be said, was the center of attraction of the inaugural street parade. This band was also honored by the position of eseort to the president on his way to the capitol to take the oath of of- fice and served at the inaugural ball. There were quite a number of colored men in the parade and all made a most creditable showing: Probably the most interesting feature of the inauguration, view- ‘dress affected them. ‘Those whom | L have approached for opinions on j this address have seemed so thor- oughly engrossed in the festivities | of the occasion that they did not [seem inclined to talk about it, and while this is a little hard on the cor- | respondents desiring to give expres- sion to the public opinion regard- ing this reference it evidences con: clusively that the colored people have confidence in the new presi- dent and have no fears that he is not deeply interested in their wel- fare and their uplift, and are going on rejoicing with the rest of the people in his happy induction into the high office to which they help- ed to elect him. The following are some of the prominent colored men from all parts of the country who have been in attendance upon the inaugural ceremonies; Hon, Chas. W. An derson, collector of the Port of New York; Col. James Lewis, surveyor general of New Orleans; Col. H. 11 Rueker, collector of Ports at At- tetas On Attorney Henry Lin- {eal Johnson, Atlanta, Ga.; Mr. Ben, Davis, Atlanta, Ga.; Mr. Em- Jmett J. Scott, private secretary to | Dr. Booker 'T.

The Inaugural Welcome Club ball at Convention hall on the fifth, eclipsed all former affairs of its kind for brilliancy and beauty, the superb gowns of the many hand- some women was a feature, and a spectacle long to be remembered. The ball of the Monacan club on the third, and the Cotillion on the sixth were equally as brilliant. The Mu-so-lit Club demonstrated again its ability to be unique and genial in its hospitality, The smoker given by this organization on the night of the fourth was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the entire in- augural week. Mr. Emmett J. Scott and Hon W. T. Vernon were among those who made eloquent ad- | dresses upon that oceasion, On) Saturday, Mareh the sixth, more than three thousand people packed the auditorium of the Metropolitan A.M. E. chureh. The oceasion was the presentation of the Foraker’ loving cup, which the colored peo- ple from all over the country were offering Senator Foraker as a token of their esteem and appreciation for the great service and sacrifice he has made in their behalf. The cup is a beautiful work of the sil- versmith, standing nearly two feet high with three massive handles, upon each being engraved the let. ters “C.D. E."" Around the base are the words ‘*25th U.S. Infan- try:’? on the bowl the engraver has: quoted from one of his speeches the senator made on the Browns- ville affair, The words are **They ask for justice, not because they are Negroes, but beeause they are men.”’ Mr, Ormond W. Scott made the presentation speech and Sen- ator Foraker’s reply was eloquent and touching. One of the most significant utterances of a political nature was his urging of the col- ored people of the country to sup- port President Taft and his admin- istration, saying to them: ‘IT be- lieve firmly and truly that the pres- ‘Why help pay big. ‘rent?

Macklem’s Bread At All Grocers senator held a reception and shook hands with most of those present, Mr. Emmett J. Seott, executive secretary to Dr. Washington, said Hriday that Mr. Washington and his party would be ready to start on the tour through North and South Carolina on or about the 13th of the month. Ile also said that the commission which was pro- vided for in the appropriations of the state department would be sent to Afriea and with Mr. J. H. Hol lander and Mr. Robert T. Ogden, Mr. Washington will be urged to accept a place on the commission and make the trip to Liberia with them. It is, however, not certain whether Mr. Washington will be able to go. When asked who would be sent in ease Mr. Washington did not go, Mr. Scott became as silent as Ramises, and all that could be gleaned from the rest of his eon- versation was that another colored man had probably been settled up- on and would be given a place in the event that Mr. Washington could not go, but the name of this gentleman could not be learned. The commission will have a seere- tary and probably other attendants. An effort was made to learn who the seeretary would be, but noth. ing could be ascertained. Bee Marmalade. The analysis of a remarkable Jap anese confection is reported in a re- cent bulletin of the College of Agri- culture in Tokyo. This is no less than a “bee marmalade,” said to be made of young wild bees and seasoned with soy. The results of the analysis show that the reputed composition of the Sweetmeat is quite correct. The mar- malade is said to be exported in air- tight tin cans, A French commentator remarks sarcastically that it will doubtless be welcomed at tables where they serve grilled locusts, as in Africa, or the Chinese dainty made of silkworm cocoons. Who wouldn't be a president and a hunting go? Already the millionaires have preceded Roosevelt to Africa and have laid their plans to entertain him in the jungles on an extensive scale. It might be wall, however, for them to search themselves, lest they be in- cluded among those malefactors of Breat wealth for whom he has been bunting a long timo, Evenina Thoucah?.

The assays from the ore show up rich. I find that money is very much needed to purchase necessary machinery for mining purposes, and I will do all that lies in my power to get my people to purchase stock in this company. They have wanted me to go east to sell the stock, but I think that I can be more successful by confining my efforts to the West, where I am so well known. I predict that the mine will soon be on a paying basis." The Colorado Statesman advises its many readers to purchase stock in the Freeman Mining Company. NOTICE — A WONDER.

MRS. W. F. WALKER, Sta. 1, Harrison, Tenn. (Formerly known as Ozonized Ox Marrow) Fifty years of success has proved its merits. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn hair soft, glossy and easy to comb, and arranges in any style desired consistent with its length. Removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the skin, and helps to prevent breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless - used with splendid re sults even on the youngest children, acutely perfumed, as if to measure, as ladies, every every every deign. Ford's Hair Pomade has imitators. Don't buy anything else alleged to be "just as good." If you want the best results, buy the best Pomade—it will pay you. Look for this name World's Oldest University.

It goes without saying that right habits are the first thing for the negro, such as thrift, love of home, obedience to law, kindliness toward one's neighbor, and general reliability. We must recognize that the negro just now is of more concern than either politics or social identity with the Saxon.

I never falter in my belief that the negro race can advance in character and in social efficiency. There have been some signal surprises in races, of late. Witness the Japanese, the Hungarians, and Finns. The negro problem in 1861 had simply two ends. But to-day it is triangular. Then it was simply northern opinion against southern opinion. A new factor has arisen within the past 40 years, negro opinion. The negro race is becoming conscious, has developed a leadership of its own, is analyzing its life and projecting its own ideals. More and more we must reckon with negro opinion of the negro problem. The African race in America is no longer to be regarded as headless Moralization covers the structural factors in the making of the negro race. If this be the right view, then religious education holds the key to the situation. It must inform the church, charge the school with the forces of light and love, exorcise the politician and the press of hysteries, and beget sane public opinion upon the race issue. As to racial adjustment, can religious education reduce friction, teach to "live and let live," and, in a word, produce racial tolerance? Racial prejudices spring out of racial differences, physical and mental. The only resource is to find an agency that can generate sympathy to offset prejudice. Such is the task of religious education, vibrant with moral energy and masterful in its purpose. "Religious" must not be here narrowly defined. It must be broad as life and penetrative as love.

For like a raging, all-consuming fire, a great blaze burns out quickly, the very intensity of its heat and flame causing it to devour itself more rapidly. It may be that ardent lovers expect too much; and that when Angelina discovers that Edwin is a bit selfish, more careless of her comforts, less inclined to idolize and humor her than formerly, then instead of making the best of things, remembering that he has worries and responsibilities now, that he cannot always be spending time and money upon her as in their courtship days, she reckons he has changed, does not love her any more. Thus it is the little rift within the lute, the first misunderstanding is established, and often enough never put right again. For the husband, on his side, awaking to the fact that his wife is not an angel, but a woman with many of the frailties, faults, and weaknesses of her sex, deems her but jealous, exacting, and bad-tempered; ignoring the while that it is he himself who is directly responsible in not giving her at least part of the love he voluntarily gave to her as his sweetheart.

There is, now, more disease among children than was ever the case in the past, and as a result of this, the molecular structure of the teeth is spoiled as the teeth become formed. The perfect tooth, without fissures, or clefts, or pits, is rarely found, except among children who have been very carefully watched during their years of rearing. Faulty molecular structure of the teeth is accentuated by the mischievous dietary of the children, and the more defective the enamel, in point of superficial condition, the more predisposed is the tooth to attract into the pits, or fissures. which eventually produce dental caries, or rotch have a bad effect on the teeth, starch and those who have the care of children, or who eating starch or sugar foods, should never eat or bacon and eggs, baked or toasted bread, or coffee when you have finished your meal, lunch or dinner, a meat of some sort, followed (must), and then fruit, the reason for which For the last meal, meat, (if, again, you suffer, and an apple.

Some men will argue "It is not necessary, my wife knows I love her, why, therefore, proclaim the fact from the house-tops?" But, on the other hand, why be ashamed to own it? The nuptial bond is too sacred, too binding a tie, for any one to accept it on the chance of letting this mutual love cool.

CURE STANDARD OIL ESCAPES FINE VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY IN SUIT WHERE $29,240,000 FINE WAS IMPOSED. COURT ORDERS JURY TO BRING IN VERDICT FOR THE COMPANY Chicago.—"Not guilty." This was the result reached today in the government's famous suit against the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. The suit of the government, wherein the defendant company at one time faced a fine of $29,240,000 at the hands of Judge Landis on a charge of having accepted rebates in freight from the Chicago & Alton railroad, came to an end abruptly. Judge Anderson, before whom the case was brought after reversal by the United States Court of Appeals, instructed the jury to find a verdict of not guilty. Judge Anderson's decision was not altogether unlooked for, he having previously announced that the proof relied upon in the first trial was incompetent, and it was with something of an air of hopelessness that District Attorney Sims and his assistants attempted to show the admissibility of the Illinois classification to prove the existence of a legal rate of 18 cents, which was a vital point in the government's contention. Assistant District Attorney Wilkerson admitted that the prosecution could not furnish the proof deemed to be necessary and suggested dismissal. Attorney Miller then moved for an instructed verdict of not guilty. This was ordered. The decision of Judges Grosscup, Baker and Seaman of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, reversing Judge Landis, together with the action of the United States Supreme Court in refusing to review the decision of the Court of Appeals, played an important part in disposing of the case. Whether prosecution on two other indictments still pending against the company will be instituted. District Attorney Sims would not express an opinion, stating that the question rested entirely with the attorney general. The federal authorities said tonight Judge Anderson's ruling will invalidate class tariffs and make it impossible to convict a shipper of violations of class tariff regulations. Judge Peter S. Grosscup, who wrote the opinion of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, upon which Judge Anderson based his action, said: "The thing for the government to do is to do away with classifications in the regulation of tariff rates and make the railroads file tariffs that specify the rate on each commodity, without regard to classification. That might mean a great cost to the railroads, but I know nothing of that. Changing of tariffs, however, means particular changes to meet conditions and means no more of a complete change than is made in different editions of a telephone directory." Judge Landis had nothing to say concerning the decision. Entombed Miners Rescued. Salt Lake.—After enduring the horrors of an underground prison, with death at their elbows, for fifty hours, by the caving of a tunnel near Murray, George and Jerry. Peterson were dragged through an eighteen-inch hole to freedom and safety at 6 o'clock Wednesday night.

Blizzard at Albuquerque. Denver.—A Republican special from Albuquerque, N.

A lady, residing in the same hotel, became aware of his illness, and interested herself to the extent of one morning inquiring concerning his condition of the chambermaid.

Citizen Soldier's Unique Idea of the Duties of a Sentry. Australians still tell stories of the C. L. V.'s, although the war is a far memory. One, a member of the Stock Exchange, was left one wet and miserable night to guard a wagonload of goods. He shivered in the unsheltered place for some hours pondering many things, and then a bright thought struck him just as the colonel came around on his tour of inspection. "Colonel," he asked, "how much is this wagon worth?" "I don't know," was the answer. "Much or little, we can't afford to lose it." "Well, but colonel," persisted the amateur soldier, "you might give me a rough idea of the value." "About £200," said the Colonel testily. "Very well," was the answer. "I will come down to the camp and give you a cheek for the amount. Then I'll turn in. I wouldn't catch my death of cold for twice that much." What the colonel said is not recorded—Melbourne Times. CONGENIAL WORK And Strength to Perform It. A person in good health is likely to have a genial disposition, ambition, and enjoy work. On the other hand, if the digestive organs have been upset by wrong food, work becomes drudgery. "Until recently," writes a Washington girl, "I was a railroad stenographer, which means full work every day. "Like many other girls alone in a large city, I lived at a boarding house. For breakfast it was mush, greasy meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc. "After a few months of this diet I used to feel sleepy and heavy in the mornings. My work seemed a terrible effort, and I thought the work was to blame—too arduous. "At home I had heard my father speak of a young fellow who went long distances in the cold on Grape-Nuts and cream and nothing more for breakfast. "I concluded if it would tide him over a morning's heavy work, it might help me, so on my way home one night I bought a package and next morning I had Grape-Nuts and milk for breakfast. "I stuck to Grape-Nuts, and in less than two weeks I noticed improvement. I can't just tell how well I felt, but I remember I used to walk the 12 blocks to business and knew how good it was simply to live. "As to my work—well, did you ever feel the delight of having congenial work and the strength to perform it? That's how I felt. I truly believe there is life and vigor in every grain of Grape-Nuts."

There had been a lovers' quarrel and it was his first visit in two weeks. "I guess you know there was a difference between your sister and myself?" he ventured, trying to pump the little sister.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street Room 25 --- Three Dresses and a Coat for Girls. THE costume on the left is a useful dress for girl from 10 to 12 years. It is made up in navy blue serge, and has a yoke and plastron cut in one, and taken to the end of skirt, and edged with a silk strap; silk-covered buttons are taken down the center of yoke and plastron, as far as the waist; six small tucks are made where the material joins the yoke. The sleeve is a plain bishop set to a cuff, which is trimmed with a silk strap. A leather waist-bard draws the dress in at the waist. Materials required: 6 yards serge 46 inches wide, 9 buttons, $1.2$ yard silk. The coat is suitable for a girl from 10 to 12 years. Dark red coating is used; it fastens down the front under a wide box-plait which is trimmed with black cord and buttons; the collar and cuffs are trimmed in the same way. Hat of red felt, trimmed with plaid silk ribbon. Materials required: 4 yards coating 48 inches wide, 1 dozen yards braid, 1 dozen buttons, 6 yards lining. At the bottom is shown a smart dress for girl from 10 to 12 years, Saxe-blue cashmere is chosen, piece lace is used for the yoke and collar; the bodice fastens at the left side of front, a strap of velvet edges the yoke, also down the fastening; two tucks are made on each shoulder. The sleeve is a plain leg of mutton, trimmed at the wrist by a strap of velvet and some buttons. The skirt has a box-plait each side of front, with smaller plaits turning from it; a tuck is made at the foot all the way round, with the exception of the center front. Materials required: 7 yards cashmere 46 inches wide, 14 buttons, $1.2$ yard velvet. Striped tweed is the material chosen for the costume on the right. The skirt is trimmed up the center of front and round the foot by braid, also braid-covered buttons; the bodice is also trimmed with braid and buttons; piece lace is used for the little yoke, and one tuck is made on each side of back and front. Materials required: 6 yards tweed 46 inches wide, 14 buttons, 8 yards braid ¼ yard lace. WALKING COSTUME J. Cedar-green Venetian cloth would look well in this style. The highwaisted skirt is plaited all the way round, the plaits turning towards the front; in the center of back the plaits are much closer. The smartly-cut coat is tight-fitting and has a little waist-coat of Chene silk fastening over to one side in a point. The fronts are slightly cut away and are trimmed with buttons and cords. Hat of cedar-green stretched silk trimmed with brown silk and quills. Materials required: 8 yards 48 inches wide, $ \frac{1}{2} $ yard Chene silk, 1 dozen buttons, $ \frac{1}{2} $ yard cord, 4 yards coat lining. Shirred Hats. Reboux is showing shirred hats of black velvet, medium-sized and worn well down over the head, trimmed with two long plumes. The turbans now are tiny and trimmed with one gold or silver ornament. At this famous shop is also a blue beaver with one small bluebird on the side. At Suzanne Talbot's the same shirred hats are shown, and French hair (which most likely is identical with the American article) is arranged to harmonize with the shape of every hat. For the turbans worn actually over the eyes, the hair is parted in the middle and arranged low at the back. ORNAMENTS FOR GRAY HAIR. Black and White Are Two Colors That Should Be Avoided. The silver-haired woman makes a mistake in wearing black in her hair under the impression that it will bring out the color. The contrast is too starling, and black deadens the luster. White darkens the silver tones and is apt to give the hair a greenish hue. The most becoming tone that can be used is silver, though there are certain shades of turquoise blue that are lovely with it. For daytime or informal wear bows or fillets of silver gauze are charming, while for evening a big silver flower or wreaths and garlands in silver oak leaves, or narrow silver bands will give the silver-haired woman a touch of distinction that no other coloring can. Side combs for gray hair are most effective with silver tops. Gold combs rarely look well, though occasionally those studded with turquoise are becoming. Rhinestones or diamonds go particularly well with silvery hair but are more becoming when set in silver or platinum than in gold. Pads for Dining Table After all, there is really no better protection to a dining table than the asbestos pads. They come in all sizes, and once bought do not need renewing. Round or square shape, measuring 48 to 54 inches, a pad will cost $5; 55 to 60 inches, $5.50, and 61 to 66 inches. $6. Leaves 12 inches wide or less can be had for $1, and leaves over this number of inches will cost $1.25. A table so covered will be prepared to receive hot dishes upon any spot over its entire surface. Evening Footwear The latest fad for evening footwear is slippers of gold or silver with flesh colored silk stockings. Slippers to match the color of the gown are still much worn with self-tone silk stockings elaborately embroidered, some being even studded with tiny pearls or jet beads. Chiffon Is Decentive There is probably no more effective agent for producing the effect of a soft, clear skin than a sheer white chiffon (or maline) veil worn beneath the usual face veil; women who are conscious of a few wrinkles are taking note of this fact.

"FATTY" PINN SOME NEW DAINTIES TRIFLES FOR AFTERNOON OR EVENING PARTIES. Delicious Sandwich That Is Not as Widely Known as It Should Be—Russian Tea Jelly—Recipe for Wafers. At an afternoon bridge party last week a sandwich new to most of the guests was served. A paste had been made of the white meat of a cold chicken run through a grinder, pounded to a paste and mixed with a little whipped cream guests was served. A paste had been made of the white meat of a cold chicken run through a grinder, pounded to a paste and mixed with a little whipped cream seasoned lightly with horse radish and salt and pepper and stiffened with a little dissolved gelatin. The paste, when it had set, was spread on thin slices of bread and was then decorated with olive rings, bits of cress and lettuce. There was no ton slice. A delicious dessert is made with prunes as a foundation. Steam the prunes until they are soft. Then take out the stones and fill them into a wet mold. Turn over them a jelly made of a cupful of sherry, a tablespoonful of lemon juice, the juice of two oranges and half an ounce of gelatin soaked in half a cupful of cold water and dissolved in half a cupful of boiling water. Serve with whipped cream. Russian tea jelly, which is sometimes served like a frappe in place of ices at afternoon "at homes," is easily made. Turn two and a half cupfuls of boiling water and the juice of a lemon over four heaping tablespoonsful of tea, add a heaping tablespoonful of gelatin, dissolved and a little sugar. Stir thoroughly and strain into a wet mold. Wafers are too ethereal to be taken seriously, but they are all right as a delicacy. Make a paste of one cupful of flour that has been sifted at least twice, a teaspoonful of baking powder, a spoonful of sugar, a very little salt, and the smallest quantity of milk possible to make into a paste. Roll wafer thin, sprinkle with granulated sugar, roll again, cut into squares, and bake five minutes. The sugar may be omitted in making them, and sprinkled over after they are done. For an inexpensive but tasty dessert cook tart apples with the grated rind and juice of a lemon and sugar to taste. When the apples are soft rul them through a sieve, and for three cupfuls of the apples, add an ounce of gelatin that has been soaked soft in half a cupful of cold water and dissolved in half a cupful of hot water. Color the mixture with a little pink coloring paste, turn into a glass dish and stand in a cool place. Serve with whipped cream. An ounce of gelatin equals about two heaping teaspoonfuls. For tomato jelly, stew a quart car of the fruit with a piece of mace and a bit of bay leaf, rub the pulp through a sieve and add an ounce of gelatin that has been soaked soft in cold water and dissolved in hot water. Fill the center with broken nut meats and celery broken into small pieces and dressed with mayonnaise. Garnish with whole nut meats and olives. The jelly may be molded in individual forms and served on lettuce leaves with mayonnaise turned over it. Coffee Bread. Scald a pint of milk and stir into it two tablespoonfuls of cotolene or butter, two tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar and a dash of salt. When blood warm add a half yeast cake dissolved in a half-gill of warm milk then beat in enough flour to make a soft dough. Set aside to rise and when light beat in a half-cup of seeded and halved raisins. Spread the thin dough on the bottom of a buttered baking pan, cover and set aside to rise again. When light brush over with butter, then sprinkle with sugar and clnamon and bake for a half hour, covering for the first quarter-hour with paper. Old-Fashioned Vinegar Pie. Bake the pie crust in a pie tin and set aside. Mix together three-quarters of a cup of sugar, two and a half tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one and one-half cups of boiling water, the beaten yolks of two eggs, a large tablespoonful of cornstarch wet with a little cold water, a tablespoonful of lemon juice and butter the size of a walnut. Cook all in the double boiler and when thick turn into the pie crust and set in the oven for 15 minutes. Use the whites of the eggs for a meringue for the top of the pie. Delicious Fresh Mint Sherbert This makes a pretty addition to a company dinner. Pour two cupfuls boiling water over a bunch of bruised, fresh mint leaves. Cover and let it stand for 15 minutes on the back of the stove to infuse, then add one cupful sugar. When the sugar is dissolved strain, cool, add two-thirds of a cupful of grape juice. Freeze to mush-like consistency. Serve in sherbet glasses, ornamenting the top of each glass with a crystalized cherry and sprig of mint. Molasses Corn Balls Molasses Corn Balls. Pop about your bread pan half full to try your luck. Take a cup of molasses and a half cup sugar and boil till it will get hard in cold water (not brittle). Just before you take it off add a pinch of soda to make it light. Pour over popped corn and stir till the molasses is well over the corn, then wet your hands in cold water and form into balls.
