LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY WASHING Statement made by Recorder President Taft's Conference President Kelly Miller ca ard University Alumnus of the District of Columb WASHINGTON LETTER Statement made by Recorder of Deeds John C. Dancy President Taft's Conference with his Secretary of War. President Kelly Miller calls a meeting of the Howard University Alumnus. The Masonic Lodges of the District of Columbia Elect Grand Master. BY JAMES CUBERT CAMPBELL "I will resign tomorrow if there can be found a man who more deserves to be continued in office or who is more deserving of public favor than myself," said Hon. John C. Dancy, of the South, Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. Mr. Dancy was speaking to a number of his friends whom he chanced to meet on Fourteenth street last Thursday evening. The above statement was in answer to some inquirers from some of the gentlemen in the party who seemed anxious about rumors concerning Mr. Dancy's retirement from office. The Recorder displayed every element of emphasis as his well pitched and clarion voice gave expression to the statement credited to him in this connection. Continuing, with the same voice, a trifle more than two octaves higher than in previous speech, Mr. Dancy said:—"but the man whom I have described as being more deserving than myself will have to prove to me that he is more so and more entitled to my position than I. Mere assertions that he is more deserving than myself will not do. "If," said Mr. Dancy, "from a standpoint of party service, race service, or efficiency, one is found who is more worthy of my place than I, I will, as I said retire tomorrow and retire as cheerfully as any man who ever gave up a public trust." President Taft had a conference with his Secretary of War a few days ago relative to the organization of the Army Court which is to take up the cases of the discharged soldiers in the Brownsville affair. It appears that the bill creating the Court provides no appropriation for its expenses, and while its membership is to be composed of retired army officers, there will nevertheless be disbursements to be made. To meet this difficulty, the President has decided to ask Congress for an appropriation. It is confidently hoped that the organization of the Army Court will be perfected in the near future and the discharged soldiers brought before it and given a chance to "prove their innocence" and be restored to the army. President Kelly Miller of the --- VOL. XV. Howard University Alumnus called a meeting of the general alumnus of the Institution on Saturday evening, March the 20th. The purpose of this meeting was to arrange and perfect plans to assist the trustees in enlarging the facilities of the University. The meeting was well attended and several committees to take charge of various phases of the work were appointed. The Masonic lodges of the District of Colunbia have been famous for their personnel and high state of efficiency. There has also been at all times a keen rivalry of a friendly character for leadership among them. Any man honored with the position of Grand Master may well feel that it was an honor indeed. A few evenings ago the election for position of Grand Master was held. At this election Prince Hall Grand Lodge was successful in the contest. Dr. H. A. Warfield, Surgeon-in-Chief of Freedman's Hospital was elevated to the Grand Mastership. On Monday evening a banquet was tendered Dr. Warfield, which was well attended and a most enjoyable affair. Dr. Henry Freeman acted as toast master and a number of toasts were responded to. Among those who made speeches were Hon. W. T. Vernon, Judge Robert Terrell and Mr. William McCary. It is hoped that the lodge will continue its progress of efficiency and usefulness under the administration of Dr. Warfield. BISPOP HEARD AND WIFE SICK IN AFRICA A letter that was written February 10th and received March 12th states that Bishop W. H. Heard D. D., and all of those who accompanied him to Africa were down at that time, with the African fever. The same letter giving the above mentioned information said that this is a very sickly year in West Africa. The Bishop himself was suffering with both fever and rheumatism. Bishop and Mrs. Heard are keeping house, and are likely to do better than if boarding.—Southern Christian Recorder. ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing Th RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Jackson, Tenu., March 16.—The Court of Civil Appeals today declared a perpetual injunction against the Negro Elks Club. Phoenix, March 18.—The legislature today passed over the Governor's veto a bill to segregate colored children in the public school. Bishop W. H. Heard, D. D., in writing from West Africa, says: "Send us a good doctor. He can make plenty of money. We have but two or three in all Liberia and one of them, who has been out here about fourteen years, is now making a visit home. His place must be filled, if possible." Bishop W. H. Heard can be reached by letters sent to Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa. In Chattanooga, Tenn., the Negro business man is somewhat conspicuous. For instance, the largest drug store owned and managed by colored men in this country, is probably here. The proprietors are Messrs. Allen and Wickliffe, who also have a branch store, well stocked. The two stores, with their equipment and goods, are worth about $20,000. Solomon Sykes is not the only colored undertaker in this city, of 20,000 inhabitants, more or less, but before all that is mortal of a Negro has been deposited beneath the surface of the earth, he, (Mr. Sykes), has to be rejoined with, for he is the sole owner of the only spot in Decatur where any member of the race in that community may hope to find a final resting place, so far as this world is concerned. J. J. Sykes, the first vice president of the State Negro Business League of Alabama, and his brother Solomon, of Decatur, are owners of two blocks of two story brick buildings on the main street, worth not less than $40,000. In one of these buildings, J. J. Sykes runs a broom factory, for the products of which he has a ready sale from among the merchants of both races in the city and surrounding country. Washington, D. C. March 15. President Taft has announced that he is desirous of assembling an impartial board to hear the cases of the discharged soldiers of Companies B, C and D., of the 25th Infantry, and that he intends to see that every soldier gets a fair trial. One of the first important acts of secretary of War Dickerson ORIGINAL IN will be the selection of a military court of inquiry, as provided by the recent bill passed in Congress with a view to reinstating the soldiers. At Cleveland, C. H. Hardwick owns on the main street a three-story pressed brick building, worth $15,000. On the ground floor is a first-class cafe, under his personal management On the second floor are the headquarters of a social club, composed of the leading white business men of the place, where not a drop of liquor is allowed to be dispensed, according to the rules and regulations governing the members of the club. Because Inspector Weirs, of the city water department of Savannah, Ga., walked through the house of John Henry Hulin, a colored mail carrier, without taking off his hat, so offended Hulin that he ordered the white inspected out. Recorder Schwartz imposed a fine of $25 or thirty days on the mail carrier. "Wearing Uncle Sam's uniform seems to make him think he is better than other people," the recorder said. "He is one of the 'after-the-war' new Negroes." Eagle Pass, Texas. March 17.—W. H. Ellis, a very dark-complexioned man, who says he is a banker in New York, is infuriated because he was forced to leave a Pullman coach and ride in the apartment set apart for colored persons when the tain on which he was traveling from Mexico to New York, entered Texas. Ellis at first, refused to go in the "Jim Crow car," but when Sheriff Williams formally ordered him from the coach he went, swearing he will sue the railroad for damages. Washington, March 16.—The contest over the appointment of a Collector of Customs of Charleston, S. C., which was waged for so long a time over the selection of Dr. William D. Crum, was terminated today by the appointment by President Taft of Edward W. Durant, Jr. Mr. Durant is a white man, and as the only objection to Crum was based upon the fact that he is a Negro, it is presumed that Dr. Durant's nomination will be confirmed. The fashionable tourists who put up recently at the various hotels in Augusta, Ga., decided that their spiritual needs could be best conserved by attending toe Tabernacle Baptist church, of which the Rev. Charles T. Walker, LL. D., is pastor. Dr. Walker, who was formerly pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist church, New York city, is widely known as the "Black Spurgeon" on account of his eloquence, logic and fluency of speech when preaching. PUNGENT PARAGRAPHS President Taft's Tariff Revision. The Great Evangelist Leaves. Results of the Revival. No Republican Negroes are Appointed. Business vs Kicking. As if to emphasize the cardinal purposes of the administration to carry out the expressed will of the people, in its overwhelming endorsement of the Republican platform, President Taft has set the machinery of government in motion and tariff revision is now underway. It may not mean so much to the Negro manufacturers and business men, just what articles shall go on the free list and the ones to enjoy a higher bit of protective fence. But the great mass of our people are laboring people and are among the first to be affected by discharge, when the ery of hard times is heard in the land, and generally the last to feel the beneficent effects of renewed prosperity. Real prosperity is not looked for until Congress completes its work on the revision of the tariff. The entire country joins President Taft in his urgent appeal to Congress to rush this work. With the national Congress honestly striving to do its whole duty, and with spring opening all over the land promising a season of seed time and harvest, the severity of the past winter will soon be forgotten in renewed hum of industry. GIPSY SMITH'S WORK. The Colorado Statesman has been particularly pleased in viewing the wonderful work of the great evangelist, Gipsy Smith. For fifteen days this truly remarkable man has labored in Denver. He has spoken twice a day to large and appreciative audiences. In the aggregate he has spoken to more than two hundred thousand people and leaves the phenomenal record of seven thousand conversions. It was a wonderful meeting and the results for Denver will be felt for years to come. At no time in the great meeting was there the least evidence of race prejudice. In the great choir of a thousand voices they sang and helped thereby, to win souls to Christ. There is still much work to do in Denver. The churches all seem to have put forth unusual efforts during the past winter and are preparing for renewed work during the summer. The work of the church will be greatly aided by the establishment of a Young Men's Christian Association among our people. Active work along this line has been on TARIFF REFORM for some time, and we are looking for some definite results soon. This paper promises to the people to aid in carrying out any and all laudable projects for the moral uplift of our people. BUSINESS OPENINGS. There is much complaining these days about business openings. Of course business opening means work to do, as well as doing a commercial or agricultural business. Colorado has many business openings just now. Out in the country many acres of splendid farming lands are being reclaimed and can be purchased at prices to suit. In the cities and towns business opportunities will open up. Our men and women are making money and now is the time to save. Here in Denver are a splendid array of saving banks and safe deposit companies ready to care for your savings and pay you a reasonable sum for so doing. Do not spend your time complaining because you can't have all the accommodations accorded other people, but just put that money away and have a big surprise when you come to look at your bank account years hence. Plenty of money in the Denver banks will do a heap towards getting better accommodations. Just keep working and saving—and all will end well. REPUBLICAN PATRONAGE. This is a Republican paper. For nearly twenty years we have consistently supported the party when many others have gone off after false gods. For this we are not expecting any great praise or consideration. But we expect the party to share with our people, always consistent workers, some of the results of party success. We do not expect great things when the general results are small. Only give to the Negro, a share in the results. Last fall in the general election the party succeeded in winning three officers. The colored Republicans helped to win. They voted and worked and made it possible for the party to have this much. It seems, however, that the party leaders have forgotten that there are Negro Republicans in Denver. Not a single Negro has been appointed. Some recognition should be given to the various elements in the party, according to the measure of party success. Is the Negro losing out in Denver politics or does ONE MEASLEY place mean ALL that's coming to the Negro? Just think it over.

Praver and Politics In his prayer at the opening of the House on the morning of the 23d Chaplain Kirk said: "In these closing days of the Seventeenth General Assembly grant that each member may come to a realization of his individual responsibilities. We realize, O Lord, that the Democratic party in this state is in power on probation, and if something is not done, and that shortly, to redeem the party pledges there will be the same handwriting on the wall for that party that startled the diners at Belshazzar's feast—Mene, mene tekel uphariz—weighed in the balance and found wanting. "Grant that this may not be written across the record of the Democratic party of this state." New County Bills Killed. The House on the 19th inst. killed bills that provided for the creation of five new counties. The counties killed were: Bryan county out of Adams, Arapahoe and Elbert counties. Holt county out of Elbert and El Paso counties. La Veta county out of Huerfano and Costilla counties. Alamosa county out of Conejos and Costilla counties. Boone county out of Elbert, El Paso and Douglas counties. The sharpest contests were over the Huerfano county division to create the county of La Veta and over the division of Conejos and Costilla counties to create the county of Alamosa. Requisitions Must Be Correct: Governor Shafroth insists that requisition papers coming to him must be made out in legal form, according to the requirements laid down by a conference of governors. He refused to sign a requisition from the executive of Arkansas for the return of C. A. Evans, accused of grand larceny, forgery and embezzlement. First and foremost, a rubber stamp had been used in place of the governor's pen and ink signature. No particulars regarding the crime charged were contained in the papers. The name of the complainant was not even mentioned. Las Animas Election Contest. Chairman Helbig of the House election committee states that his committee will not attempt any decision at all in the contest cases from Las Animas. The committee will give the House the benefit of what it has learned concerning the irregularities of the election in Las Animas county to let the body itself decide on what is proper. He is reported as saying that the committee found in both Republican and Democratic precincts the greatest disregard of the plain letter of the law. Appeal of State University. A delegation representing the State University urged the Senate finance committee to recommend $50,000 for research work. The delegation was led by President Baker and Franklin Guiterman, both of whom made speeches. Senate Steering Committee. The steering committee appointed by the Senate to recommend special order calendars for the upper house during the remainder of the session made its first report Tuesday. Sixteen bills were suggested and the report was adopted by the Senate. Among the bills not included were the initiative and referendum, the Massachusetts Australian ballot law, the railway commission and regulation bill, the Scott public service commission bill, the eight-hour bill and the anti-pass bill. Governor Shafroth's Message. In a message to the Legislature of Colorado Governor Shafroth urges the Democratic members either to redeem their pledges to the people contained in the platform on which they were elected or else to resign their seats. The message follows: "March 22, 1909. "To the Members of the Seventeenth General Assembly: "Gentlemen—The Democratic party for the first time in the history of Colorado has been placed in power in all of the branches of the state government. We as its representatives have been placed there under certain pledges contained in our platform. The principles contained in these pledges in the party's judgment, as ratified by the people, are essential to good government. If we fail to perform the duties intrusted to us by the people in an honest, direct, inevasive manner, our party may never again attain such an advantageous position. Today is truly the day of opportunity." "I stated in my inaugural message to you, that the pledges constituted a contract with the people and should be faithfully performed. Seventy-six days of this session have been consumed by those who are evading or trying to defeat the bills containing these platform pledges. The conflict is whether party pledges are to be regarded as sacred or deceptive devices to gain power. To concede that a public official may wilfully evade, or openly violate a pledge upon which he secured an election, is to surrender the vital principle of representative government. I have tried by arguing, coaxing and begging to induce most of these recalcitrant members to pass these measures. For the passage and presentation for my signature of even one of them I have waited day after day, until patience has ceased to be a virtue. "If any member, since the election, has changed his mind as to these measures and has conscientious scruples against voting for the same, he should resign his seat now. If he will not resign, then the party in each county having such a member should meet in mass assembly and demand that he vote for these party measures or resign. "In the full two weeks remaining of this session, you still have time to enact into law these reforms. I wish to warn you that if these party pledges, these contracts of honor, are not substantially complied with, I expect to call an extra session of the General Assembly and I shall expect the people of this state to hold these opposing and evading members responsible therefor. Respectfully submitted, "JOHN F. SHAFROTH, "Governor of Colorado." Against National Inheritance Tax. Mr. Howell, in the House, presented the following resolution, the occasion for which is President Taft's recent message to Congress advising a national tax on inheritances: "Whereas, the several states are now taxing inheritances with marked success and need all the revenue that can properly be drawn from this source; and "Whereas, the federal government readily raises additional revenue when required from other sources; therefore, be it "Resolved, by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado: "First—That the taxation of inheritances should be reserved to the several states as a source of revenue for their exclusive use and benefit. "Second--That the General Assembly of the state of Colorado hereby respectfully request and urge the senators and representatives of the state of Colorado in the Congress of the United States to support a properly drawn joint resolution, when proposed for adoption in the two houses of the Congress, declaring it to be the policy of the federal government to refrain from the taxation of inheritances for federal purposes to reserve this source of revenue for the exclusive use and benefit of the several states. "Third--That the senators and representatives of the state of Colorado in Congress are requested to oppose with all their vigor any measure which will give to the national government the taxation of inheritances." Road and Bridge Bills. The Denver Republican of the 13th inst. says: Special orders on road and bridge bills will probably be fixed early next week. Chairman Dowd of the road and bridge committee had a full membership in attendance on the meeting held last night, at which much of the work was cleaned up. He hopes to report all bills to the House by Monday morning, after which the "five chairmen" combination will be ready to have them made a special order for consideration some night during the week. There is therefore the prospect of at least two night sessions of the House within the next seven days. Home for Mental Defectives. Mrs. James Williams' plan to establish a state home for mental defectives has been endorsed by the state board of health. Mrs. Williams' plan has been embodied in a bill pending before the Legislature. It was introduced in the state Senate. Another bill has been reported out by the House committee, which would establish the proposed home at Fort Morgan. Mrs. Williams' bill would locate the horse on some school land near Arvada. BACKACHE IS KIDNEYACHE. Usually There Are Other Troubles to Prove It. Pain in the back is pain in the kidneys, in most cases, and it points to the need of a special remedy to relieve and cure the congestion or inflammation of the kidneys that is interfering with their work and causing that pain that makes you say: "Oh, my back." PETER HARRIS Thompson Watkins, professional nurse, 420 N. 23d St., Parsons, Kans., says: "For some time I was annoyed with sharp twinges across the small of my back and irregular passages of the kidney secretions. Since using Doan's Kidney Pills I am free from these troubles." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Look here, Fido, if you can't be a better horse than this I shall have to discharge you an' get an automobile!" Some Resemblance. A little girl in a California public school complained to her teacher that a Mexican boy had struck her. The teacher took Joe, the only Mexican boy in the school, sharply to task for the offense, but the boy denied it. "Mary," said the teacher, "Joe says he didn't strike you." "Oh, no," said Mary, "twant Joe; twuz that tother boy over there," and she pointed to the blackest of negro boys in the school. "Well, anyhow," said Mary, "he's very much tanned." Piecing Out the Prayer Of curious prayers a writer says: "I have heard a layman utter this petition during the prayer: 'O, Lord, be thou with us in our upsittings an our downrisings'—a variant of the text in the psalms. 'Thou knowest my downsittings and mine uprisings.' A minister occasionally introduced a Latin sentence into his prayer, and forthwith proceeded to translate it. Another minister in his early days experienced considerable difficulty with the long prayer before the sermon. In nonconformist churches this usually occupies a quarter of an hour, but long before this period had been reached he was wound up. On one occasion, while in this dilemma, he startled his hearers with the words: 'And now, O Lord, I will relate unto thee a little anecdote!'" PROSAIC ENDING OF DREAM Nevertheless, Editor Believes It Portends Some Good Luck. The dream of an unknown Kansas editor: She was dressed in green, and a serpent of old gold and with red eyes encircled her arm. Her hair was very black and loose. Her eyes, black and deep, seemed to search me through as she held my hand in hers and looked up from the palm she had been reading. "Your death will come suddenly," she said. "Will it be a railroad collision or a hotel fire?" we inquired. "I cannot say," she said, "but it will be so sudden as to be painless." Just then we awoke, because somebody was punching us in the ribs and saying: "Get on your side of the bed and let me have my share of the quilts." But we have been thinking about it since, and we believe somebody is going to pay his subscription in advance. —Kansas City Journal. LESS MEAT Advice of Family Physician. Formerly people thought meat necessary for strength and muscular vigor. The man who worked hard was supposed to require meat two or three times a day. Science has found out differently. It is now a common thing for a family physician to order less meat, as in the following letter from a N. Y. man. "I had suffered for years with dyspepsia and nervousness. My physician advised me to eat less meat and greasy foods generally. I tried several things to take the place of my usual breakfast of chops, fried potatoes, etc., but got no relief until I tried Grape-Nuts food. "After using Grape-Nuts for the cereal part of my meals for two years, I am now a well man. Grape-Nuts benefited my health far more than the $500.00 worth of medicine I had taken before. "My wife and children are healthier than they had been for years, and we are a very happy family, largely due to Grape-Nuts. "We have been so much benefited by Grape-Nuts that it would be ungrateful not to acknowledge it." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. STATE NEWS ITEMS STATE NEWS ITEMS A pressed brick plant is to be erected at Montrose with a capacity of forty-five thousand bricks a day. A movement has been started at Pueblo to secure a large fund for the erection of a Young Men's Christian Association building. H. H.

Plans are being drawn for a parochial school to be erected for St. Joseph's Catholic parish at Fort Collins at a cost of $40,000. The great influx of population, especially of beet workers, has created a demand for a Catholic school. Active work was begun on the 18th inst. on the Greeley-Poudre Irrigation system when engineers started final surveys for the building of the McGrew & Camfield reservoir and the extension of the Pierce lateral ditch eastward. The Pueblo Manufacturers' Association has made arrangements to prepare an exhibit of Pueblo made goods in a centrally located storeroom, to be kept up several weeks in a campaign to have the people support home industries. Colorado Springs delegates to the annual convention of the American Federation of Musicians in Minneapolis May 10th to 16th, will endeavor to secure the projected national home of that organization for Colorado Springs. The city of Kersey has issued bonds in the sum of $5,000 at 6 per cent, in order to take over from the stockholders of the Kersey Lateral Ditch Company its water stocks, to be used in providing water for the lawns, trees, etc., of Kersey. The state convention of the Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union at Pueblo passed resolutions condemning the delay of the Legislature in acting on needed legislation and a telegram to that effect was sent to the proper officials in Denver. Arrangements are being made by the track management of the University of Colorado for several big track meets during the approaching season.

The Colorado & Northwestern Railroad Company has been notified by the Eastern Colorado Power Company to prepare for a shipment of 400,000 tons of cement for the Nederland dam, which will be handled at the rate of about seven cars a day. Shipments will commence at once and a cement train will make daily trips on the mountain road. The mine owners of Colorado whose properties produce ores bearing zinc and lead, intend making a strenuous fight against the proposal to reduce the tariff on lead and zinc, bullion, pig and scrap. They claim that a tariff reduction means an equal reduction in the market price of those metals and would spell ruin to many mine owners of the West. The Pueblo state fair directors have decided to change the dates of the fair from September 12-18 to September 20-25, by request of fruit growers of the Western slope, who believe they can make a better showing at the later dates. They ask that one day of the fair be known as Peach day, and one grower has agreed to donate three carloads of peaches to be given away to visitors that day. It is stated that Frank Shercliffe, alias Morris, now in the penitentiary at Canon City, has employed a lawyer to appeal his case to the Supreme Court. Shercliffe was convicted on a charge of murdering a Leadville saloonkeeper, fifteen years ago. On his way to state prison he escaped from Sheriff Bonner of Leadville, and was a few weeks ago brought back from Minnesota, where he was acquitted of a charge of train robbing. The largest mortgage ever given in San Miguel county has been filed at Telluride. It is for $300,000, given by the Japan-Flora Mines and Tunnel Company and runs ten years.

E GOOD AND INEXPENSIVE CAKE. Recipe That Has Given Satisfaction for Many Years. ‘The following recipe for an inexpen- sive cake has been used in the family from whom I received it for 25 years, and in mine for 15, and I have always found it satisfactory: Cream together one-half cup butter, one cup of sugar and two eggs, beaten separately. Sift together 12-3 cupfuls flour and one teaspoonful of baking powder, and add it alternately with one-half cup milk. Bake about one-half hour in moderate oven. This is called a plain cake in the original recipe, but with little ex- tra trouble and no expense it may serve as the foundation for an almost infinite variety. The white of one egs may be reserved for frosting. Thicken it, without beating, with pow- dered sugar, flavor, spread on the cake and mark off in squares before thor- oughly hard. Sometimes decorate each square with half an-Englsh wal- nut. A half-cup of chopped hickory nuts added to the batter makes it a delicious nut cake; a tablespoonful of cocoa or spices added to half the bat- ter and placed in the pan in alternate spoonfuls makes a marble cake, and a half-cup of raisins, currants, or both, makes a fruit cake. Use only whites of eggs in the batter finally, thicken the yolks with powdered sugar, and you have snow cake with golden frost- ing.—Exchange. e he HOUSEWIEE | If kitchen floors are painted with boiled linseed oil they are cleaned very easily. In cutting bread for sandwiches, if a hot instead of cold knife is used the slices will be thinner and more easily Never allow the cake to brown until it has risen to its full height. If it be- gins to brown while rising put a sheet of paper over the top of it. One of the new culinary appliances 1s a double flour sifter which deposits the flour from the first to the second sieve, thus lessening the work of re- sifting it for certain cakes. In making salads do not chop your meats and celery in a chopping bowl. Cut into the desired sized pieces with scissors. This is quicker, neater and cleaner than the old way. Cookies can be shaped with the bot- tom of a “star” tumbler. Press the bottom of the glass into the unbaked cookie until the indentations are im- printed upon the cake. Flour the glass for the purpose. Raised Pie Crust. Mix with half a pint of sour milk either fine or coarse flour, or equal parts-of both to make a thick batter; then add half a teaspoonful of bicar- bonate of soda, previously dissolved, and stir in flour enough io form the dough or paste, as rapidly as possible. ‘This is not as wholesome as the pre- ceding kinds ‘The cream or olive oil shortening is very attractive to consider, but most of us to-day will have to be content with refined cotton seed oil or oleo- margarine until cream and olive oil are less costly, or our income in- creases, The above recipes, however, although prepared so long ago, seem especially valuable for present study and slight variations to meet indi. vidual tastes.

OUR great men at Washington have reached the undisputed conclusion that the famous policy of the "square deal" cannot be made to fit universally the varied phases of our heterogenous American life. With a man of unlimited power and unbending nerve back of it, it may hold the big corporate trusts in check and give the smaller ones an equitable share in the attainment of riches; it may turn the searchlight of public scrutiny upon the devious ways of big politicians and save the people from unconscious or unsanctioned contributions to the countless fund of official spoils; it may restrain the railroads and other great commercial institutions from practicing discriminations by which some of their patrons are filched to increase the profits of others, and it may even be made to inspire laws which will create a code of justice, exact and impartial, for the observance of all citizens in their ordinary business intercourse; but it cannot be made to break down the social prejudice of classes, which so widely exists and which finds its way into all the institutions and all the laws that combine to make and shape the general policies of the government and its federated commonwealths. It cannot be made to apply to the Colored citizen in his struggle for a fair and equal chance in the race of life, or for an unassailed right to the warrantable pursuit of happiness. His case must remain an exception, and special laws and policies, on his account, must be sanctioned and allowed when coupled with alleged considerations of kindly interest and constitutional guardianship. We have been drifting toward this point for the past half dozen years, and President Taft's inaugural address leaves us little chance to doubt that we have arrived. The notice served, then, is not so startling as it is instructive and edifying, for it merely informs us that the social and political policies of the New South are to be recognized and accepted. There are to be no more prominent Negro office-holders in the South. Race feeling is to be anticipated and conciliated by a more logical adjustment of claims and a more subtle reliance upon the white man's inherent and sacred sense of relative justice. Such laws to limit the franchise as shall square with the general requirements of the Fifteenth Amendment, will not hereafter be interfered with. In our opinion, this decision was sure to come. Will it be followed by further encroachments upon the supposed rights of Colored citizens? Will President Taft's confidence in the integrity and justice of the white South justify his elimination of the Negro question from polities? Or is the new deal, with the rounded corners, a concession of ground that had been fairly won and dedicated to a freedom which knows neither the race nor the color of any citizen? Dr. Booker T. Washington, educator and race leader, has declined the commissionership to Liberia tendered him by Theodore Roosevelt when he was president. As far as can be learned, no especial reason has been set fourth by Mr. Washington, other than the importance of his work in this country will not permit him to leave it for so long a time. Emmet J. Scott, who has been private secretary to Mr. Washington, was appointed to the commissionership instead. Boston, Mass., March 9.—The nefarious Crone bill, a measure which was calculated to prevent the Colored Elks from wearing the emblem of the order, has been killed in the committee room. It was never expected to reach the house or the Massachusetts Legisture, but it was deemed advisable to greet it with a black eye from the start, and the Boston fraternities sent Edward C. Brown, Robert T. Teamoh, and others to the judiciary committee to oppose it. The effect of the bill, which Mr. Crone has been given leave to withdraw. Legislation bearing the tinge of affront to Negro citizens will have rough sailing on the sea of public opinion in this state for some time to come. Old Rule. Creditor—Say, I sent you my bill a month ago. Editor—Yes, but you wrote across the back of it, "Please call and settle." We make it a rule to pay no attention to manuscripts written on both sides. Pay Her Her Due Wife Entitled to a Specific Salary By MME. LANDRY, Prominent Cloan Woman of France. VERY good wife and mother of the home should be paid a specific salary, according to the earnings of the husband. At present the sum given to the housewife is ladled out to her in exiguous dribblets, and in the majority of households there is no schedule or system, and consequently no satisfaction to any concerned in its management. Needless to say, the absence of system is the rock upon which domestic harmony first splits. E The main reasons why this labor should, above all others, be remunerated are that it is at once very hard and distinctly productive labor, in the economic sense. In many a home, if not in all, the labor performed by the wife-mother is not less than heroic, as a short consideration will show. She rises before her husband, prepares breakfast and gets her children ready for school. Her work really only begins when husband and children have left the house. A German advocate of women's rights has made, in this regard, the following curious calculation. He carefully estimated the different weights daily lifted by a laborer in a factory, and compared them with those raised by a woman who does her own housework. Having carefully added up the weights of provision—baskets, kitchen utensils, furniture and what not, he came to the conclusion that housewives are really subjected to harder work than the hardest-working laborers. It is not, in my experience, only in the poorer classes that the woman performs hard work. They also, by force of circumstances, are compelled to work hard even in the prosperous classes. Take, for example, the case of the former Miss Alice Roosevelt, who in 15 months attended 408 dinners, 271 receptions, 171 balls, 680 teas; she shook hands in the same period with 32,000 fellow-citizens and visited some 1,643 of them. At the end of this period, she had, small wonder, to take to her bed. Here you have the ordinary "social" work of your well-to-do woman. This social work of the woman-of-ease is productive, since her associations bring her into touch with the political, financial, industrial and general world as a highly important and active participant who-helps to harmonize the whole and make conditions all the more supportable. If we admit a salary for women doctors, lawyers and others who perform economically-productive labor—why refuse it to the woman who is practically on the ground floor of civilization and the prime source of the world's most prolific possibilities? According to the French code the wife is allowed half of the common patrimony accruing to the menage. This principle is founded on the earliest ethical laws, and it is a recognition of the fact that the wife has a right to at least half the product of the wage-earning. It was not so very many years ago that the majority of students in higher studies were enrolled in church controlled schools. A score of years has sufficed to mark the change. The new factors have entered into the situation and bid fair to preempt the field, that is, the state university and the non-denominational college. During the eighties, the number of college students began suddenly to rise toward seven per thousand of the population, until the present time, the proportion standing to-day, 16 per thousand. The rapid development of state universities has been Religion and State Colleges By JOSEPH W. COCHRAN, D. D., Corresponding Sec'y, Presbyterian Board of Education. It was not so very many years ago that the majority of students in higher studies were enrolled in church controlled schools. A score of years has sufficed to mark the change. The new factors have entered into the situation and bid fair to preempt the field, that is, the state university and the non-denominational college. During the eighties, the number of college students began suddenly to rise toward seven per thousand of the population, until the present time, the proportion standing to-day, 16 per thousand. The rapid development of state universities has been the marvel of the educational world, enrolling between 50,000 and 60,000 of students annually, their incomes aggregating over $12,000,000 a year, their increase in attendance during the past decade amounting to 112 per cent. The fact that more students belonging to any one religious denomination are found in attendance upon state universities than in the schools belonging to that denomination has proved to be not only a startling but an unwelcome fact to the churches, but the period of irritation and antagonism is now closing. The religious demonimations are more active every year in supplying the religious needs of state university students through student pastors, local churches, Bible classes and even denominational homes and guild halls. All the great denominations including the Roman Catholics are at work at many of the larger university centers. The question of financial support has not been wrought out and the movement is now in the experimental stage. But the door of opportunity is swinging wide open. Heartiest cooperation is promised from state university authorities, not one president standing apart from the movement. It is looked upon by the state university as a long neglected method of co-operation in the task of training the youth of the land to assume not only the political and economic but also the moral and spiritual leadership of the coming years. Mission of the Religious Novel By ETHEL M. ARNOLD, Noted English Author, Now in America. The interest of the religious novel lies mainly in the fact that it reflects more or less faithfully the ideas which are in the air at the moment, that it collects into one focus, as it were, thoughts which are vaguely illuminating men's minds with new light. A period of intellectual unrest, of philosophic disturbance is, in fact, essential to the birth and production of such novels as "Robert Elsmer" and "Il Santo." Ages of faith are ever followed by ages of reason, a period of assent by a period of doubt, and as the domain of the novel has come to be recognized as co-extensive with life itself it is inevitable that those inner conflicts which form the stuff out of which so much poignant human drama is made should appeal to the more serious type of novelist. In other words, the religious novel has proved its right to exist. It is no longer intelligent to sneer at the authors who write such books nor at the people who read them. An intelligent critic, asked to define a "religious novel," properly so called, probably would reply that it should deal not with the conflict between any religion or none, but rather with the struggle arising in the conscience of any given individual between the form of religion he has hitherto professed and that which some new spiritual awakening, some inner compelling force, has urged him to adopt. It is conflict such as this out of which drama is born; it is drama such as this which reflects the spiritual life of a generation.

ROOSEVELT OFF FOR GREAT HUNT EX-PRESIDENT SAILS AWAY TO DARK CONTINENT. TO BE IN AFRICA A YEAR Then He Will Travel and Speak in Europe—Three Skilled Naturalists and His Son Kermit Accompany Him. New York.—Theodore Roosevelt, expresident of the United States, sailed out of New York harbor Tuesday on the steamer Hamburg of the Hamburg-American line on the way to his much-heralded hunting trip in British East Africa. On the dock was a large assemblage of Mr. Roosevelt's friends, who had gathered to bid him God-speed, and who cheered him as he stood at the rail of the steamer waving his hand and smiling with delight. Beside him stood the three men selected from hundreds of applicants to accompany him and assist him in collecting the specimens of African fauna which he hopes to send back for the enrichment of the Smithsonian institution. These fortunate individuals were Maj. Edgar A. Mearns, J. Loring Alden and Edmund Heller. They comprise the Smithsonian's expedition.

To Mombasa Via Naples Mr. Roosevelt will go via Gibraltar to Naples, where he will board a steamer of the German East African line for Killindini harbor, the port of Mombasa. At the latter place the party will be joined by R. J. Cunninghame, an Englishman of long experience in Africa, who has been engaged as general manager and guide. The party will spend a short time in Mombasa and then proceed by train on the Uganda railway to Nairobi, headquarters of the administration of British East Africa Protectorate, a city of 13,514 inhabitants, of whom 579 are Europeans. William Northrup MacMillan, formerly of St. Louis, owns a large estate near Nairobi and his big, luxurious farmhouse will be headquarters for about six months while the hunters and scientists make trips of varying length in all directions. It is in this section that Mr. Roosevelt hopes to obtain most of his specimens, for it abounds with animals of all kinds. The smaller mammals will be trapped. The supplies of the party are packed in tin-lined boxes. These boxes when they have been emptied will be used as packing cases for the various specimens. Many valuable natural history specimens have been spoiled by ants and other insects, it has been found from experience on other expeditions, and it is to guard against this that the tin-lined boxes are being taken along. When the specimens have been prepared they will be carefully packed in the boxes and shipped to Nairobi, where they will be forwarded to the United States. One of the taxidermists will always be with Mr. Roosevelt, and as soon as any big game is shot by him it will be skinned and prepared on the spot. Mr. Roosevelt will be greatly disappointed if he fails to kill several specimens of the white rhinoceros. This animal is the same as the square-mouthed-rhinoceros and is the nearest living ally to the type of the extinct Tichorine or woolly rhinoceros which lived in England at the close of the Glacial period. Journey Across Uganda. Leaving Nairobi in October, the party will proceed by the Uganda railway to Port Florence, on the shores of Lake Victoria Nyanza, where a short stop will be made; then a steamer will be taken to Entebbe, 150 miles away. There a caravan will be formed and the journey across Uganda to the Nile will be begun. It is expected that the White Nile will be reached about the first of the year 1910. Lake Albert Nyanza will be touched at Kibira. In a general way the course of the Nile will be followed to Gondokoro, and thence to Khartoum. At this city Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit will be joined by Mrs. Roosevelt and they will continue down the Nile slowly to Cairo, visiting many points of interest on the way. To Speak in European Capitals. Plans for the remainder of the expresident's two years' tour have not been decided upon definitely, but the time will be spent in Europe, and several matters of importance have been announced. He will visit Berlin at the invitation of Emperor William and while there will deliver an address upon the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the University of Berlin. From Germany he will go to France and deliver an address at the Sorbonne. It has not been learned how long Mr. Roosevelt intends to stay in Berlin and Paris. After his visit in France, Mr. Roosevelt will go to England, where a reception of great warmth undoubtedly will be accorded BRITISH SOMALI SOMALI LAND IST FRICA MOMBASA ELT PARTY IN AFRICA. to him. He has accepted an invitation to deliver the Romanes lecture at Oxford university and in all probability the honorary degree of D. C. L., which Oxford has bestowed on Emperor William, will be conferred on Mr. Roosevelt. The versatility of Mr. Roosevelt will be shown by the fact that he will speak German in his address before the students of the University of Berlin, French in his lecture at the Sorbonne, and English in delivering the Romanes lecture at Oxford. Pays His Own Expenses. Mr. Roosevelt will defray the expenses of himself and his son on the African trip, but those of the scientists and the cost of preparing the specimens and shipping them to America will be paid out of a fund secured for the purpose by the Smithsonian institution. One of the objects of Mr. Roosevelt in taking this trip is for the purpose of collecting material for writing several books regarding his experiences. During last summer he contracted with Charles Scribner's Sons, of New York, giving that firm all the rights for the serial and book-form publication of whatever he might write on his visit to Africa. It is said that the contract price agreed upon is $1 per word, but this never has been verified. Even if the British colonial government should offer to throw open to Mr. Roosevelt and his companions the African game preserves under its control, the ex-president will refuse to take advantage of this opportunity. Like other true sportsmen, he believes that the utmost protection should be given to wild animals on reservations and that permission to kill them should not be given or accepted under any circumstances unless, possibly, when predatory animals are becoming too numerous. Moreover, the killing of animals for sport is not the main object of his trip. Mr. Roosevelt hopes to send back to the Smithsonian institution two adult specimens, one of each sex, and a specimen of their young, of animals he meets with on the Dark Continent. Beyond this the killing will be limited to the demands of the commissary. --- For a good drink of whisky, A fresh glass of beer All you dry ones please come here.

You know these paint "diseases" usually indicate adulteration or substitution in the paint materials. And you know the only remedy is repainting. A little knowledge of paint and painting requirements, and how to make sure of the purity and quality of materials, would prevent all trouble, and save the big extra expense of re-painting; just as a proper knowledge of simple health-laws, and observance of them, prevents sickness. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, specifications for all kinds of painting work, and an instrument for detecting adulteration in paint materials, with directions for using it, can be had free by writing National Lead Co., 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Cutf No. 49. A very simple guide in the purchase of white lead (the only sure and safe paint material) is the famous "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark; that trademark is an absolute guarantee of purity and quality.

Child a Mass of Dreadful Sore, Itching, Irritating Humor for 2 Months —Little Sufferer in Terrible Plight. Disease Cured by Cuticura. 'My six year old daughter had the dreadful disease called hives for two months. She became affected by playing with children who had it. By scratching she caused large sores which were irritating. Her body was a complete sore but it was worse on her arms and back. We employed a physician who left medicine but it did not help her and I tried several remedies but without avail. Seeing the Cuticura Remedies advertised, I thought I would try them. I gave her a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap and anointed her body with Cuticura Ointment. The first treatment relieved the itching and in a short time the disease disappeared. Mrs. George L. Fridhoff, Warren, Mich., June 30 and July 13, 1908.' Potter Drug & Chem.

A good sermon is often spoiled by a bad dinner TWO KIDNAPPERS ARE IDENTIFIED WILLIE WHITLA SAYS SUSPECTS ARE ONES WHO CARRIED HIM OFF. MAN LIVES IN SHARON MAN LIVES IN SHARON WOMAN CARED FOR HIM AT HOUSE WHERE HE WAS RETAINED Cleveland.—Willie Whitla Wednesday identified the man and woman held on suspicion by the Cleveland police as the persons who kidnapped him from the school at Sharon, Pa., last Thursday and held him for the $10,000 ransom, which was paid by his father, Attorney James P. Whitla, Monday. Willie said the man, who gave the name of James H. Boyle, was the one who took him from school and carried him to Cleveland, then to Ashtabula, back to this city and placed him in the house in the East end where he was held until the money was paid. Willie also declared that the woman was the one who cared for him at the house where he was detained, and who acted the part of a nurse. Boyle said the woman is his wife. The police have no other identification of the couple than the names given. Boyle is said to reside in Sharon and is a plumber by trade. He is said to have a widowed mother, four brothers and a sister. It is hinted from several sources that there may be sensational developments regarding the woman when she is returned to Sharon for trial. Denver Damaged by Storm Denver.—The Republican Thursday morning reports considerable damages by the storm Tuesday night and Wednesday. One man, Otto Joseph Fredericks, was instantly killed by coming into contact with a live wire. Another, W. A. Clifton, was hurled to the floor and suffered a badly burned thumb when he tried to turn on the electric light. Scores received minor injuries from falls and electric shocks. Denver was completely isolated from the outside world for fifteen hours. Fully 6,000 telephones were put out of working order in Denver alone and a total estimated damage of $50,000 was incurred by the Colorado Telephone Company. The Denver City Tramway Company was unable to place any cars in commission before 8:00 o'clock Wednesday morning and as a result thousands were forced to walk to work. The Stockyards, West Larimer, and West Forty-fourth Avenue lines were still out of order and not running at a late hour last night. Hundreds of trees were broken and snapped by the snow, while many houses were smashed in by falling telephone poles. Deadly Tornado in Texas. Dallas, Tex.—Twelve known dead, property loss reaching into thousands of dollars and possibly a score injured is the result of a tornado which swept over the northeastern part of Wise county late Tuesday night. Several small towns suffered serious damage. The greatest loss of life occurred in the country districts. The farm house of Ira Rice, near Slidell, was crushed in by the furious wind, and the family of eight members pinned beneath the wreckage. The ruins then burned, snuffing out the lives of the helpless victims. The towns of Sanger and Greenwood were hit and a number of houses were lifted from their foundations. The Goodview school house, near Sanger, was wrecked. In this vicinity two farmers and two children and a negro tenant were killed. At Crafton every business house save one was blown down. At Dan, also in Wise county, near Slidell, two houses were destroyed. The Christian church at Greenwood was destroyed. The town of Slidell is reported practically destroyed. Bridgeport and Decatur are said to have suffered heavy losses. Two negroes were killed by lightning near Sanger. Paris Strike Called Off. Paris.—At a mass meeting of 6,000 of the striking government telegraph and postoffice employees Tuesday, it was voted by an overwhelming majority to resume work. Only about 200 of the men voted to continue the strike. Austria Preparing for War Zara, Dalmatia.—People arriving on their way from Agram say that at Flume Austrian soldiers and reservists are arriving continually and are immediately embarked on fast steamships of the Ungaro-Croata Navigation Company for the Gulf of Cattaro, near the Servian border. Thirty Austrian men-in-war are already at Teodo, the Austrian naval station on the Gulf of Cattaro. It is generally believed that should hostilities break out, martial law will be proclaimed in the whole of Dalmatia. One of the Important Duties of Physicians and the Well-Informed of the World is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufacturers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product, has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the approval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed, because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufacture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for—Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name—Syrup of Figs—which has given satisfaction to millions.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Cartis Street Room 25 --- THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY HOME DRESS.—For a dress of this description, Nankin-blue cashmere would look very nice. The high-waisted skirt is trimmed with black silk cordings put on in twists. It also trims the material part of bodice. The vest and sleeves are of silk, finely tucked. The over-sleeves are cut in with the material zonave. Materials required: Seven yards cashmere 46 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ dozen yards cord, $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards silk. WALKING COSTUME.—A rough tweed is employed for this costume; the skirt is trimmed at the foot by a six-inch band of velvet, either black or the predominating color in the tweed might be used. The coat has a waistcoat of velvet, it is also used to edge the revers, and for the cuffs and pockets. A button is covered and sewn on either side of front. Hat of felt, trimmed with ribbon and flowers. FA8HIONS IN BABIES' CLOTHES. TREATMENT OF CUT FLOWERS. Few persons know that violets, carnations, etc., after they are cut require different care if they are to be kept alive and fresh. Violets, for instance, after being worn become soft and wilted. They may be made like new by clipping a short bit from the stems and putting the flowers into a glass wherein the water reaches the blossoms. The bouquet should not be cut apart. Over the flowers and glass itself a piece of wax paper should be placed and twisted down tightly and the whole set in the refrigerator or out of doors if the weather is not too cold—freezing. With this treatment the violets, unless dead, become fresh. A girl who wears these flowers frequently has adopted an even simpler method of freshening. For as soon as she takes them off she plunges the heads into cold water, and then puts the bunch back in the box in which it came, covering the flowers with the wax paper always used as a lining. The box is then put out on the window sill, and in the morning the blossoms are usually like new. To hull the tired one to slumber there is nothing like the odor of lavender flowers. The sheets and pillow cases should be kept in lavender, and on very stifling nights the strongest of the sheets, those that have laid directly upon the lavender pads, should be brought out and spread upon the bed. Therefore women who are not thin are keeping up all kinds of methods to make them so. Live on noodles, is the cry. Consequently this diet is strictly kept by women who are willing to sacrifice anything to be thin. The latest remedy, however, is to drink camomile tea without sugar, an hour after eating. This is said to cure the most rebellious case, and turn one of barrel-shaped proportions into sylph-like lines. Styles Closely Follow Those Adopted by the Grown-Ups. Perhaps the young mother may think that when she comes to make clothes for her baby she won't have to worry her head very much as to what's the fashion of the day. Perhaps she thinks that baby clothes are always the same. If she does, she is a very mistaken little lady, for clothes for the littlest folks show from time to time many of the innovations which make the garments for grown-ups in the mode. This is especially so this spring. Even the long dresses for infants show the princess and empire lines, and sleeves have diminished greatly in size. The vogue for hand embroidery is also emphasized in baby clothes; not only is it used on the little dresses, but on the long cloaks and the dainty little flannel wrappers and sacques. It goes without saying that if baby's mother is the sensible little woman that she is quite sure to be, baby will have no frills and furbelows on his clothes. Simplicity is the fashion today. And baby clothes reflect the trend of the modes. Generally speaking, the distinction between baby's every day clothes and his dresses for best wear is merely in the quality of the fabric. When baby is expected to look his finest his dress is of the sheerest, of nainsook, lawn or long cloth, and sometimes washable cotton chiffon.—Woman's Home Companion. THE LATEST HAT - In platted taffetas, in a deep shade of "taupe," wreathed with silk roses in faded tones of pink and blue. Morning Glory of Gauze for Hair. As a rival to the cloth of gold rose with its beaded center, and the black gauze rose with its gold rim, comes the morning glory of gauze. This is to be worn in the hair as an ornament of the Grecian knot. It is also to be used, as the other flowers are, in the front of the corsage for all social and evening affairs. It is in perfect coloring and gives a charming touch to filmy gowns of white or cream or pale blue. If a girl wonders just what little new touch she would like to have she should get one of these flowers. The morning glory goes with youth better than the black or the gold rose.

Producing Sweet Sleep The girl who sleeps as though she was suffocating will waken the next morning with tired lines in her face and with circles beneath her eyes. The room must be cool and sweet and the bed clothing must be just warm enough. Reducing Flesh. Whatever else fashion hints there is not the slightest rumor that flesh is to be stylish in the near future. To End Magazine Worry One family has solved a magazine controversy very cleverly. The men in the family complained that the women loaned or gave away the magazines before they had all finished with them. So this plan was devised: As the men and women finish reading a magazine, they put their initials on the first page. When each one has added his or hers to the page, that gives permission to loan or give the book away.

DAINTY DISHES THAT INVALID WILL APPRECIATE. Baked Apples and Apple Toast Are Two of the Best—Making Ice Cream in Comparatively Small Portions. Dainty Desserts for the Nursery or Invalid's Tray.—The first consists of an apple cored and carefully baked, set on a pretty sancer, then covered with whipped and sweetened cream or the white of an egg beaten stiff with a little sugar. Another A digestible and simple dessert is apple toast. To make it, toast bread in the oven until crisp throughout, but not blackened. Place the slices in the bottom of a colander set within another dish, turn boiling water over each slice, drain immediately and serve hot on a china or glass dish with sweetened apple sauce, about the consistency of marmalade spread over each slice. The sauce may be made, if preferred, from dried apples, apricots or peaches, carefully soaked until soft, then stewed and sweetened. Another delicate way of serving apple sauce is to stew tart apples quickly so the sauce will be white and tender. Strain through a puree sieve, then beat with the white of an egg already made stiff. Add sugar and flavoring to taste and pile lightly in a glass dish. Ice Cream for the Invalid—A novelty is a tiny ice-cream freezer in which a pint of any frozen daltry can be made. Falling the real freezer a one pound baking powder can set in a larger dish will answer every purpose. Be sure, however, the tin does not leak. Put into a bowl two teaspoonfuls sherry, one teaspoonful powdered sugar and one-half cupful cream. Beat together until the mixture begins to thicken, but not until like whipped cream. Pour this into the sterilized freezer or a baking-powder can. Fit the lid on tightly with a piece of manila paper between the lid and the top of the can, set in the larger vessel of tin or wood, and fill the space with crushed ice and common salt. Turn the small can five minutes, then set away in a cool place. In a short time it will be frozen and the invalid can have a saucer of delicate and delicious cream. Fruit juice or coffee may be used in place of the wine if preferred. In such cases more sugar will be required. Cream as a Food. Cream as a Food. Few housekeepers realize the value of cream. It is more nutritious than butter, and the most readily digested form of fat that can be taken. Persons consumptively inclined or with poor digestion, aged persons, and those who are subject to cold extremities, will be much benefited by a liberal use of cream. It is better than cod liver oil and is a food suitable for anyone. It would undoubtedly be used more freely if it were not for the erroneous idea that it is an expensive luxury. Butter is freely used, and yet it is more expensive than cream. Use more cream and less of some other foods. Stuffed Eggs. Cut six hard-boiled eggs in two lengthwise. Take the yolks out and put them in a wooden bowl and mash them with pestle or heavy wooden spoon. Add two sprigs of finely chopped parsley, a saltspoonful of dry English mustard, half a saltspoonful of paprika, a teaspoonful of olive oil and a teaspoonful of salt, the juice of a large lemon, a tablespoonful of olive oil and a teaspoonful of good table sauce. Mix the paste till soft and creamy. Then fill the hollow in the whites of the egg with it. Put each one on a crisp lettuce leaf, ornament with pitted olives, and serve. Turkish Delight. Break one ounce of red sheet gelatine into pieces and soak in one-half cup cold water two hours. Bring one pound granulated sugar and one-half cup water to the boiling point, add gelatine, and cook slowly for 20 minutes. Flavor with rind and juice of one orange, juice of one lemon and one tablespoonful of honey. Rinse a bread pan with cold water, turn in mixture one inch deep; let stand until cold. Remove from pan, cut in cubes and roll in sugar; one-half cup chopped nut meats may be added if liked. Tipsy Parson. Moisten sponge cake with one cup of sherry wine. Make a custard of one pint of milk and yolks of three eggs. Pour over the cake while hot. Just before it goes to the table stick it full of blanched almonds. Beat the whites of the three eggs to a stiff froth with two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, then add one cup of sweet cream and pour over the cake. Before adding the last stir in candied fruit if desired. Polish Tartlets. Roll plain paste one-eighth inch thick and cut in $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ inch squares. Wet the corners and fold them in toward the center, pressing them down. When baked and cool, press in the centers and fill with jelly. Mother's Gingerbread One cup of sugar, two cups of molasses, one cup of lard, one tablespoonful of soda, dissolved in one-half cup of hot water, one tea cup of cold water, thicken with flour and add ginger to taste.
