BY JAMES CUBERT CAMPBELL Some statistician with a good and mature working imagination has figured out picturesquely, last week's march on the White House. He tells us that the army of American citizens which made its way to the Executive Mansion during last week, if thrown out in a single file line, would reach all way across the District—imagine this. In this great lineup, as there is in everything else in this country, there was a large sprinkling of colored citizens. Anciently all roads may have led to Rome, but during these times all roads for the office seeker lead to the White House and many of Africa's sons there are who may be found plodding it. Delegation after delegation of colored men, principally from the south, came last week to talk to the President. All seemed to be desirous of having a more definite knowledge of what his southern policy really is with respect to them. On Thursday Mississippi's colored sons, ten or fifteen strong, headed by Mr. C. W. Banks, Mr. I. T. Montgomery, and Mr. Wesley Crayton, made their way into the White House's inner court where they were received cordially by His Excollency. Whatever may have been their ideas of William Howard Taft and his policies before they went in, it is certain that they were well pleased, all of them when they came out. Speaking of their talk to the President, some of them expressed themselves as being very much pleased with what the President said to them. 'It is plainly evident, said one of the gentlemen, that the President has unbounded confidence and respect for the opinions and advice of Dr. Washington. Through out the entire conference with us Mr. Taft repeatedly referred to Dr. Washington in the most exalted terms, saying that the colored people of Mississippi and their marvelous progress along the lines of industry and commercial advancement had often been pointed out to him by Mr. Washington. The Mississippi delegation left Thursday night for New York and other points in the North. Another visit to the White House by a colored man which probably had more or less significance was that --- VOL. XV. of Mr. Douglas Wetmore, of New York. Mr. Wetmore arrived in the city on Saturday and, in company with Representative Bennett of New York City and a white gentleman, whose name could not be learned called on the President in the afternoon. The purpose of this visit of Mr. Wetmore's could not be definitely ascertained, but it is rumored that he was there in the interest of his candidacy for the Liberian Commission. A vacancy on this commission was occasioned some days ago by the recognition of Hon. Robert C. Ogden, and it is presumed among politicians that Mr. Wetmore is seeking to be appointed in his stead. In connection with Liberian Commission it has been reported from an authoritative source that the Commission would probably be able to start for their field of labor about the 15th instant. There is however, considerable speculation as to who the third Commissioner is to be as his name has not been made public yet. The Commission will proceed from here to Gibralter where they will board a United States gunboat and complete the travel in this manner. The United States Constabulary Band, headed by Capt. Walter Lovering, a colored man of unusual musical ability, arrived at Fort Meyer during last week, and on Friday evening gave a concert in Convention hall in this city. Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, went to New York Sunday afternoon for a stay of three or four days. The visit of Mr. Vernon to Gotham at this time is said to be purely one of business. Cheyenne, Wyo., April 14. The garrison at Fort Russell is to be increased to 3,000 men early next month by the arrival of the Ninth cavalry, colored, and two batteries of field artillery. Work on new buildings at the post is being rushed, but despite this proposed addition to the quarters it is probable the Negroes will be compelled to camp out the entire summer. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House tronizing Th RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Birmingham, Ala., April 6.—A new bank has been organized in this city called the Prudential Savings Bank, with a capital stock of $25,000. Dr. U. G. Mason is chairman and Mr. W. W. Hadnott, secretary. The organization of this second bank in Birmingham shows that the Negroes of Alabama are wide awake and are making progress. Chicago, April 4.—Edward Allen of this city, has been appointed to the position of manager of colored business for the North American Accident Insurance Company of Chicago. Mr. Allen was born in 1876 at 18 Page street, Chicago, and is a young man of Sterling qualities. He is also considered by the leading white insurance companies of today as the expert colored insurance man of the United States, having won several prizes. Columbus, Ohio, April 8.—Probate Judge Samuel L. Black received a Black Hand warning today against issuing marriage licenses to blacks and whites. The messages came in the form of a rope with a note attached, left hanging on the knob of his office door. Dire vengeance is uttered. The courts have practically decided that Willis Marcand, colored, aged 34, in the real estate business can marry. Stella Cunningham, aged 21, a white waitress. Birmingham, Ala., April 5. The Galilean Fishermen, a colored benevolent and secret society, of which Dr. C. C. Stewart is manager, with headquarters at 2305 Second avenue, has purchased 2,100 acres of rich farming land near Collinene, Lowndes County, for the purpose of establishing a large normal and industrial school for Negroes. The property was purchased for $30,000 from Enos R. Stewaet, of Birmingham, son of Judge Stewart, of Marion. tay of visit of this one 14.—I is to early of the two Work is be- pros it is the com- sum- Roanoke, Va.,—The largest colored funeral ever held in Roanoke took place today over the body of Charles A. Robinson, a letter carrier in the Roanoke postoffice, and his two children, who lost their lives in a fire that destroyed a stable on the Robinson premises. Many prominent white citizens attended the services, and Postmaster L. G. Funkhcuses, from the pulpit paid the dead carrier high tribute. He said Robinson's record for efficiency on file in the department at Washington is 100 per cent, he not having received a single demerit in fifteen years' service. Washington, April 6.—Dr. Geo. Sale, of Georgia, has been appointed a member of the commission which is shortly to go to Liberia to make an investigation of the conditions. Dr. Sale takes the place made vacant by Robert Ogden, of New York, although he does not succeed Mr. Ogden as chairman, that position going to W. Morgan Shuster, of the District of Columbia. The third member of the commission is Emmett J. Scott, of Alabama. The selection of Dr. Sale was announced today. He is superintendent of the Baptist Home Mission of Negro Schools. Boston, Mass., April 6.—T. M. Gregory, '10, of Bordertown, N. J. Negro member of the Harvard debating team which won from Yale several days ago, is being congratulated by friends and admirers for his excellent work. The debate was held between the Harvard and Yale teams at Sanders' Theatre Cambridge. Harvard defended the negative side of the debate, the subject of which was "Resolved. That all corporations engaged in inter-state commerce be compelled to take out a Federal charter." The judges awarded the debate to Harvard for better resourcefulness of argument, for better command of the issue which were prominent in the discussion and for a more satisfactory remedy for all evils which are acknowledged to exist in the relations of corporations with State and Federal government. ANOTHER NEGRO BURNED IN TEXAS And so in Texas they have burnt another Negro. The press despatches tell us that one thousand savages stood by and watched while the flames swept over the hopeless, dcpraved, but brave wretch who gave up his life to make a Texas holiday. It is wonderful to think of, strange, almost impossible to believe. This is Texas, this the twentieth century, and this was an assemblage of persons immensely flattered by being described as "civilized." And they burned at the stake a human being. One thousand persons, presumably with an admixture of women and children, stood by, watched the horror, gorged their savage instincts, sated their barbarous hates, fatted and regaled upon the sort of spectacle that pleased and edificed the wild and untamed Indian. How discouraging it is! How hopeless it is—to think that we live in the same country with such people, to think—God forbid—that we may even have such people, to think—God forbid—that we may even have people about us. And yet, we—we poor hypocrites—are so good as to look with horror upon such foreign 'scum' as the Russians, the Turks, and to deplore the pillage and disorder that sometimes mark the affairs of their countries. We should hang our heads in shame. We have heard of no Russians burning a man to death at the stake. We have heard of no turbulent Turks straying so far from the dictates of mercy and humanity as to do such a deed. Texas, Texas! Is no one to be punished for this crime against civilization and humanity?—Columbia, S. C., State. EDITORS HAVE AN EASY ROAD There is no man in business today that has an easier time than an editor of a newspaper. All he has to do is to forecast the weather, answer questions about everything and everybody, be personally acquainted with every man, woman, child, cat and dog in the town, saw wood, beg for his subscription money, work night and day, be a social swell, abuse liquor praise the gambler, join clubs, subscribe to charity, wear diamonds and good clothes, overlook scandals, appraise babies, minister to the afflicted, pet the old maids and widows, tell them that they are handsome, take cursing and abuse and not resent it, set type, solicit adds and subscription, mold opinion, tell a girl that she is beautiful when she is uglier than home-made sin, sweep the office, be a ready stump speaker, speak in class meetings, take up the collection, praise the ministers, whether right or wrong, hold political meetings, organize literary societies, tell a fellow that he is a big man when he is a runt, and stand in with everybody by agreeing with everybody's opinion.—Portland Advocate. NO. 30 WHAT THE NEGRO THINKS There seems to be a growing conviction in the North that the solution of the race problem should be left to the South. Attending this settling conviction are the commercial and cowardly shirkings of the North of her responsibility as to how that problem is solved. Attending, also, that easing of the conscience of the North and the nation, is the utter disregard of what the Negro thinks about the settling of his status. Therein the North does injustice to the Negro, and closes its eyes to Negro injustice. Therein the North may be sleeping over a sleeping volcano. Recognition of the fact that the Negro is not a negligible quantity in the solution of his own problem has recently come from a high and unexpected source, the president-elect of the University of South Carolina, Prof. C. S. Mitchell. Speaking before the Unitarian Club of Providence, on March 19th, he said: "See what the Negro has done in forty years. At the time of the war the question was two-sided—what the North thought and what the South thought. Now it is triangular—what the North thinks, what the South thinks and what the Negro thinks." Let also the timorous North recognize what the Negro thinks. The Negro knows he needs and is cultivating the friendship of his white Southern neighbors. By way of industrial school and industrial value, by way of moral and worth and economic wealth, he is committed to the working out of his own salvation. But working for industrial equality, he is not willing to wait for civil equality. Perhaps the most foolish statement put into the mouth of President Eliot during his Southern tour was that the Negro should wait five hundred or a thousand years before he would be qualified to hold office. Now, the Negro does not think he should wait even five or ten years for such qualification. The Negro knows that, like his white neighbor, he has many men able to represent his race. The Negro does not think than he should form any such permanent political slave class in this Republic. He recognizes his inexperience and illiteracy, but he also sees the illiteracy and deprivacy of his white neighbors. He feels very keenly the unfitness of Southern whites to represent his citizenship. That mass of undismayed and progressing Southern Negroes want the friendship of their neighbors but they will accept in the end nothing less than justice from their neighbors. Any abandonment by the North of the Negro to the caprices of Southern prejudice, and settlement of the Negro's affairs which does not reckon with what the Negro thinks as to that settlement, is a hazardous and temporary postponement of the issue. The Negro, too, is going to stand to be counted.—New York Age. Nannie A. Jones, of Wichita, Kansas, has been awarded $400 damages. A suit was brought by her against the Wichita Amusement Park Company on the grounds that the company refused her admittance to the Wonderland Park because she was a Negro.

BOOTH ON EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY STARTS NEW PLAN Veteran Founder of Salvation Army Launches Scheme for "University of Humanity" in the United States----All the World Celebrates Anniversary of His Birth. New York.-Gen. William Booth, founder and commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, celebrated his eight-leth birthday on Saturday, April 10, and the event was made the occasion of rejoicing all over the civilized world. The Army itself held big meetings in every city and town where it is established, and these were participated in by hundreds of thousands of other citizens who were glad to do honor to the distinguished philanthropist. Gen. Booth himself presided over several monster mass meetings in London. His advanced age and the fact that he was operated on recently for cataract did not deter him from taking part in the celebrations held by his devoted soldiers. University of Humanity Launched. In America the day was marked especially by the launching of another of Gen. Booth's original schemes for social reform in the United States. At every post of the army was announced the beginning of work to found a University of Humanity, a great institution for the training of workers in social service. The university will be divided between New York and Chicago, and it is expected to begin with a fund of $1,000,000. The gathering of this fund is the work that the army now enters upon in commemoration of its famous leader's completion of his eightieth year. As a much-needed stone in the great organizational structure that William Booth has been building during the past 47 years, this idea of a school for the systematic training of his workers has been in his mind for several years. On his last visit to the United States the general made his first tentative announcement of the plan. Since then he has worked out many of the details and he has just consented to the beginning of preliminary work in this country where the need for trained workers has been especially great. Growth of Great System. It is perhaps not generally realized that the whole intricate modern machinery of civilization for the uplifting of the submerged tenth, the vast system of charities now so essential a part of modern life, is to a very large extent an outgrowth of the Booth idea. He was the first to see that the unfortunate could best be reached by those who had suffered as they had, and that they must be reached by practical worldly help before they could be prepared to begin the cleaner life. It was the Salvation Army which first made a practical working success of this now familiar principle of so-called "missionary work." This whole plan of campaign for raising the fallen began on a very simple scale in the poverty-stricken and crime-infested East end of London and under the impetus of William Booth's singular force of mind and personality and the momentum that it has gathered with almost miraculous rapidity it has developed into a truly astonishing organization. Some of the departments of its work are: Prison-gate and Rescue, Inebriates' homes, Boys' and Girls' homes, Farm colonies, Emigration, Naval and Military homes, Maternity homes, nursing, Samaritan brigades, hospital and benevolent visitation, police court work and Indian school training. No other religious organization in the world's history has branched out into so many departments of philanthropic effort and absorbed them as part of its religious duties. Need of Trained Workers. The scheme for a University of Humanity grew naturally out of the development of the 20 other departments. With a field as wide as the world itself the work of the Salvation Army is only limited by the number of workers that can be secured and its effectiveness by the understanding and earnestness of these workers. As uplift work has grown from local efforts to help a few into a great inclusive movement which must miss none, the problems of organization have grown greater. Charity has become a science and its application an art requiring the highest development of personal qualities of insight and altruism. There is thus pressing need for workers of quite exceptional qualification. These qualifications must first of all be inherent and must then be developed by experience and special training. This is the new work planned by Gen. Booth. Those women, for instance, who are to go among the slums of the big cities must not only have the desire to help but must know how real helpfulness can best be secured. They must understand by a study of practical sociology something of the social forces that create this poverty and crime and wretchedness. They must understand the danger of the unwise charity that merely increases dependence and understand the value of better living conditions in raising the moral courage of those to whom fate has been unkind. They must be able not only to correct home conditions themselves but to impart their knowledge and to inspire with a desire for betterment. Value of the Organization. This will be but a small part of the university's training in social service as planned by the patriarchal evangelist, but it serves to show of what value such an organization will be. Of the general's plan for the university he himself said recently: "I want to train men and women to deal with misfortune. I want them instructed to combat with the weaknesses and sins of the drunkard, the criminal, the pauper and the would-be suicide." At 80 years of age the head of the Salvation Army, after more than half a century of almost unceasing activity, is as vigorous and untiring as at any time in his career. The inexhaustible vitality and intellectual and physical activity of this social reformer, philanthropist, preacher, author and traveler are marvelous. At fourscore he is traveling many thousands of miles over the world every year, controlling the destinies of his more than 7,000 corps of Salvation soldiery with their 18,000 commissioned officers, distributed among every civilized country, preaching constantly to vast audiences and doing an amount of literary work that would be a facer to many a professional author with no other occupation. William Booth was born on April 10, 1829, in Nottingham, England, and was trained for the Methodist ministry which he entered and became one of the strongest evangelistic forces in that church. He grew dissatisfied, however, at reaching only those with some religious training and conviction. He felt that there were thousands whose need was far greater and he gravitated to the East end of London where wretchedness of all kinds was the rule. In a disused burial ground on Mile End road he pitched an old tent and the first Salvationist meeting was held in that tent in 1861. The fiery eloquence of the earnest young preacher caught the attention of a crowd of poor Whitechapelers and before that first meeting was over he had made several conversions, a performance that he has been repeating throughout the world for 47 years. How He Started the Army. This first meeting resulted in the formation of the Christian mission, from which it was the evangelist's custom to send his converts to the existing churches of the locality, but finding that they were not welcomed and were in danger of slipping back from sheer want of comradeship and oversight, he set about forming societies of the converted. These he found to be a potent agency for bringing in more, as the heedless East ender could be impressed by the words of a former "pal" when he would not listen to a minister. So was created the central idea of the Salvation Army. The need of organization becomes apparent, but several methods were tried with little success before Gen. Booth hit upon the military idea and named his organization the Salvation Army. From that time on the movement grew amazingly and it has continued to grow without ceasing to this day. Spread Over the World. The movement began spreading to other countries of the world in 1881 when it first reached the United States through the influence of a silkweaver who had emigrated from Coventry, England, bringing with him the Salvation Army idea and a strong desire to continue in the work. It reached Australia in the same year through a milk dealer from Stepney, and soon afterwards the first Canadian corps was organized in a similar fashion. Five years later, in 1886, the general made the first of many visits to the American branches of the army and he has seen them grow from a few small corps into a veritable army of tremendous influence and unsurpassed efficiency. His first great world-tour was made in 1891, when he visited South Africa, Australia and India. Since then he has visited the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India four times, South Africa twice and Japan and the Holy Land each once. During all these travels the actual executive responsibility for the government of the army has never been lifted from his shoulders. Even on shipboard he is an indefatigable worker, planning and writing through the days. Gen. Booth Honored. One of the most remarkable of the many tributes paid to the general by the great of the world was that of the mikado of Japan during the visit to that country. The mikado personally received the general with great warmth and he was accorded remarkable ovations in Yokohama, Tokyo, Sendai and Kyoto, a circumstance of strange import when it is realized that Japan is not a Christian country. Another interesting distinction given Gen. Booth was the conferring on him of the degree of doctor of civil law by Oxford university. The significance of this honor will be better understood when it is stated those who received university honors with him at the time were Prince Arthur of Connaught, the prime minister of England, the lord chancellor, the speaker, Sir E. Grey, the archbishop of Armagh, Sir Evelyn Wood, the American ambassador, Mark Twain and Rudvard Kipling. As a writer Gen. Booth is remarkable, both as a stylist, as a thinker and as a producer. He has written in all 21 volumes, besides innumerable articles for the army publications. His best known book is "In Darkest England and the Way Out," in which he outlined his scheme for social reform by means of colonization. "The Training of Children," "Love, Marriage and the Home," and his books on reform are among the others of the general's best known literary productions. Writes of His Creed Of his creed the general has written very beautifully. He says: "The simplicity of our creed has been, as I believe it will remain, one of the principal helps to our unity. We stand for the old truths. The faith which can be interpreted in terms of duty, of unselfishness, of purity, of love to God and man, is the only faith we really care about. Whatever may be the case with the select minority, the consciousness of sin, the force of evil habit and the consciousness of sin and the influence of passion, are all vivid realities with the great masses of the population. To them we bring the promise of deliverance by Jesus Christ." AGRICULTURAL BOARD MEETING NEW PRESIDENT IS NOT YET AGREED UPON TO SUCCEED DOCTOR AYLESWORTH. TWO NEW PROFESSORS A. A. EDWARDS OF FORT COLLINS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD. Denver.—A Republican special from Fort Collins Wednesday night says: Dr. Barton O. Aylesworth will remain president of the Colorado Agricultural College until the expiration of his term, August 31st, and possibly longer, at least until the new standing committee on faculty and courses of study to be appointed by A. A. Edwards, new president of the State Board of Agriculture, selects his successor. This committee will be asked to make a report May 15th, the next meeting of the board. The selection of a successor to President Aylesworth is yet unsettled. There is still hope of securing James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, if the board feels that the matter can be left open until next fall. Failing this, Dr. W. M. Hays, assistant secretary of agriculture, is the strongest candidate for the place among the fifteen names in the possession of Franklin E. Brooks, chairman of the committee to secure a new president. Mr. Brooks reported at a meeting of the board tonight. He said there were fifteen candidates, but the list had been cut down to seven possibilities. The strongest of these, he said, in their relative order are Doctor Hays, Eugene Davenport, dean of the agricultural department of the Illinois State University, and J. W. Waters, dean of the agricultural department of the University of Missouri. Mr. Brooks said that Secretary Wilson had not said that he would not take the place, but told him on his recent visit to Washington, that he had better not consider his name. This is taken by Mr. Brooks as an indication that the secretary of agriculture might accept after September, when he acquires the honor of having been the member of the Cabinet longest in continuous service. Mr. Brooks then strongly recommended Doctor Hays, who he said, was willing to take the position, but who refused to be considered a candidate. He said Doctor Hays wouldn't come for less than $6,000 and if the place was offered to him he would take it. He told Mr. Brooks the work in Washington did not agree with him. Under the new organization of the board there will be a new committee to consider Doctor Aylesworth's successor, but Mr. Brooks will be continued on it, consequently there is not likely to be any change in the situation. President Edwards of the board said tonight that because of the great amount of work Mr. Brooks had done in this matter he would keep him on that committee. Edwards and Ammons will be on it. Mr. Brooks recommended the appointment of G. Arthur Bell, assistant animal husbandry man in the bureau of animal industry at Washington, to take the place of Prof. W. L. Carlyle as dean of the agricultural department, and head of the horse breeding station. This is the position to which Prof. Carl W. Gay of the University of Pennsylvania was appointed by the old board at its June meeting. Mr. Brooks announced that Professor Gay had refused the place, probably because of the strife in the institution. Professor Bell was recommended by Secretary Wilson. The board accepted the recommendation and filled the place by Mr. Bell's appointment. The board also endorsed the action of the old board in appointing Alvin Keyser of Nebraska to succeed Professor Olin as agronomist and ordered him to report for duty at once. When the board went into session this afternoon everything was harmonious. Immediately after the board was called to order a recess was taken to allow a caucus on the position of secretary to the board. The result was the election of Lathrop M. Taylor of Fort Collins as secretary in place of A. M. Hawley. Mr. Taylor has been with the college eighteen years and was secretary to President Aylesworth and to his predecessor, President Ellis. In the organization of the new board Governor Shafroth presided and Capt. B. F. Rockafellow, president of the old board, who has backed President Aylesworth, nominated for head of the board A. A. Edwards of Fort Collins, who has been an opponent of President Aylesworth. The nomination was seconded by Governor Brush, who has also been an Aylesworth man. Senator Ammons, who has been in sympathy with the Carlyle faction, nominated for vice president, Gov. J. L. Brush, who was elected. George A. Webb of Fort Collins was elected treasurer. The board adjourned to May 15th. The farmers living under the Holbrook canal north of La Junta have petitioned the county commissioners that an irrigation district be formed there. They want to buy the canal from the Holbrook heirs, build more reservoirs and enlarge the one already built from 15.00 to 20,000 acre-feet. The district will be bonded. L. T. Davis will build the Davis reservoir east of Greeley. It will have a capacity of 4,500,000 cubic feet, draw water from the South Platte through the Fulton ditch and cost several thousands and dollars. NO NEED TO TAKE CHANCES There Is a Sure Way of Knowing Good Paint Material. There is really no need whatever for any property owner to take chances in the selection of his paint materials. It doesn't cost a cent to learn how to be on the safe side. Certainly every property owner has enough at stake to find this out.

TOTAL LOSS OF HAIR Seemed Imminent—Scalp Was Very Scaly and Hair Came Out by Handfuls—Scalp Now Clear and New Hair Grown by Cuticura. "About two years ago I was troubled with my head being scaly. Shortly after that I had an attack of typhoid fever and I was out of the hospital possibly two months when I first noticed the loss of hair, my scalp being still scaly. I started to use dandruff cures to no effect whatever. I had actually lost hope of saving any hair at all. I could brush it off my coat by the handful. I was afraid to comb it. But after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and nearly a box of Cuticura Ointment, the change was surprising. My scalp is now clear and healthy as could be and my hair thicker than ever, whereas I had my mind made up to be bald. W. F. Steese, 5812 Broad St., Pittsburg, Penn., May 7 and 21, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston. Her Answer. An Atchison girl had a proposal of marriage Sunday night and asked a week to think it over. She went to all of her married sisters. One, who used to be a belle, had three children, did all her own work and hadn't been to the theater or out riding since she was married. Another, whose husband was a promising young man at the time she was married, was supporting him. A third didn't dare say her life was her own when her husband was around, and a fourth was divorced. After visiting them and hearing their woes, the heroine of this little tale went home, got pen, ink and paper and wrote an answer to the young man. You may think it was refusing him, but it wasn't. She said she could be ready in a month.—Atchison Globe. Harris' Great Good Humor. "No man ever maintained his life at a higher level of perpetual good humor," writes James W. Lee of Joel Chandler Harris in the Century. "The day before he died, when he was already beginning to pass into the dark valley of death, one of his sons came into the room and inquired: 'How are you this morning, father?' "Well," responded Mr. Harris, I am about the extent of a tenth of a gnat's eyebrow better." Her Womanly Curlosity. "I have put aside enough money," said the bachelor of 52, "to make it sure that I shall be decently buried without expense to the public." "Why," asked the malden who was verging on 35, "do you think you ought to have decent burial?" SICK DOCTOR Proper Food Put Him Right. The food experience of a physician in his own case when worn and weak from sickness and when needing nourishment the worst way is valuable: "An attack of grip, so severe it came near making an end of me, left my stomach in such condition I could not retain any ordinary food. I knew of course that I must have food nourishment or I could never recover. "I began to take four tablespoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream three times a day and for 2 weeks this was almost my only food; it tasted so delicious that I enjoyed it immensely and my stomach handled it perfectly from the first mouthful. It was so nourishing I was quickly built back to normal health and strength. "Grape-Nuts is of great value as food to sustain life during serious attacks in which the stomach is so deranged it cannot digest and assimilate other foods. "I am convinced that were Grape-Nuts more widely used by physicians, it would save many lives that are otherwise lost from lack of nourishment." Absolutely the most perfect food in the world.

Chamberlain, president of the Massachusetts board of trade, in a speech recently declared that Boston could be made the leading commercial city of the world. "It is America's nearest seaport to Europe by 150 miles," he said, "and the possibility lies through the construction of an inland waterway from Abemarle, N. C., to Boston. To do this you must reopen and enlarge the Carroll-Alemarle canal, thus connecting the Chesapeake bay; reopen and enlarge the Delaware bay; reopen and enlarge the Delaware and Raritan canal, connecting with the Raritan bay. Then you may go across New York harbor, through Long Island sound, until you get to Narragansett bay. The last step is the construction of the Taunton river-Brocton Fore river-Quincy canal, and the problem is solved." Houses Built of Meerschaum. Houses Built of Meerschaum. The town of Vallecas, Spain, is almost entirely built of meerschaum. Vallecas has on its outskirts great quarries of a meerschaum too coarse for pipe making, and a meerschaum-built town is the result—an ivory-white town that shines in the Spanish sun. In Morocco meerschaum is so plentiful that they use it, when soft and fresh, for soap. It gives a plentiful and cleansing lather. Ekdischehr, in Asla Minor, supplies the world's meerschaum. There are 2,000 mines, large and small, there, and 8,000 Kurd and Persian meerschaum miners work day and night in them. The meerschaum comes from the earth yellow, and turns white after ten days' bleaching in the sun. Joseph H. Stuart LAWYER Practice in all courts.

LAPSE OF LITERARY GENIUS DEVELOPMENT in the sciences is generally regarded as one of the avenues to the Negro which will hasten his recognition by the people in general and the world at large, as an indivisable part of that social brotherhood whose higher intelligence dominates the affairs of men and breaks down the barriers which ignorance and prejudice erect to perpetuate the social separation of races, elements and classes. Literature is the mirror in which the higher intelligence of people is reflected, and its numerous branches provide an almost limitless field for the demonstration of genius such as moves men to acknowledge the indestructable existence of a universal human brotherhood. We all remember that but a few years ago a number of our brighter literary lights were commanding the admiration and approbation of the nation's thought leaders and winning for themselves and their intellectual contemporaries as social recognition which no other qualifications had been able to achieve. When Paul Lawrence Dunbar's genius was recognized, it opened to him social and literary relations and associations which aroused to activity new influences of material benefit to his entire race, and Charles W. Chestnutt, the novelist, and other contemporaneous writers of note, added to the prestige which the Negro then began to enjoy. This was more than a passing fad, for it lived without abatement while the evidence of pure and undiminished genius was maintained. But our corps of brilliant passion painters was not rapidly augmented, as those of other races seem to be, and with the passing of these exceptional lights, that sympathetic affection which was knitting us into close relations with our fellows, has suffered discernably. We still have Du Bois, the logician, and Kelley Miller, the essayist and critic, but they lack the romantic qualities which appealed to all classes so urgently through the works of our disciples of fiction. The need for greater literary devotion on the part of the Negro is apparent. The careful schooling and training and the patient and deliberate application, which develop latent genius in other men and women and among other races, ought to be more generally appreciated by those who are responsible for the instilling of educational ideals and aspirations in the minds and hearts of our Negro youth. PENAL REFORM IN GEORGIA. NOTORIOUS as one of the most brutal and inhuman penal systems ever in vogue in the United States, the Georgia convict lease system died on the morning of the first of April. Following long and continuous censure from all parts of the Union, more especially from the North, which gave to the state a most unenviable reputation for substituting slavery for imprisonment, internal agitation took such shape under the direction of Hoke Smith, former Governor of Georgia, that a thorough legislative investigation of the system was made a little over a year ago, resulting in the enactment of a statute taking effect on April first, abolishing the iniquitous system from the Georgia criminal code. The practice was to lease out convicts to contractors for labor in mines, brick kilns, factories, lumber camps and other plants requiring crude labor, where private greed often demanded and collected its last ounce of human flesh and its final drop of human blood, for no other account was taken of the death of a convict than a report of the fact, and no state supervision of his care or treatment at the hands of contractors who thus bought his labor was ever made. These private slave pens made their own regulations and carried out their own forms of discipline, accompanied with armed guards, bail and chain, blood hounds and a system of personal treatment far more deplorable than slavery ever knew, because of the absence of any ownership interest in the helpless victim, and because the place of a dead convict could be easily filled. Georgia has had no state penetentiary for years, and because the great majority of her offenders were Negroes, her authorities seemed to feel justified in thus shifting their responsibilities and ignoring all consequences. What wonder that there was great rejoicing when convicts were led out of mines on April first, where they had not seen the light of day for years, or out of camps or factories where health breaking tasks and brutal taskmasters made life a daily torture? What wonder that, though convicted felons, they joined in singing "Praise God from whom all blessings flow?" These convicts were sent back to the counties where they were convicted, and for their remaining terms will be employed on public works, such as road building, work on levees, etc., or until the state shall establish proper institutions for their reception and control. A great step upward in moral responsibility is thus taken by the state of Georgia, and most satisfactory evidence is thus given that the savagery of the South is slowly yielding before the march of enlightened human sentiment. Development Traced from the First Atom By PROF. ERNEST HAECKEL, University of Jone, Prussia. The theory of the origin of life is as follows, the same being applicable to all forms of known planetary life: The earth was thrown off by the sun, and Light is the source of all life. The crust having been formed, water promoted the activity of the carbon atoms—carbon being indispensable to any imaginable kind of existence. The carbon atoms combined by attraction into plasmic masses capable of growing or extending themselves. One small atomic mass overgrows and splits into two halves. From these monera, or single organisms, organic life, which is to culminate in man, is born upon the face of the earth. For long—millions of years, perhaps—the earth was covered with these simple pieces of life possessing elementary energy and elementary consciousness. They were absolutely simple in their construction but possessed a nucleus or cell of living matter by which they reproduced themselves according to the process known as segregation, that is, cleaveage or simple division of the cell. These were known—indeed are still known—as protista (from the Greek protiston) that is to say, the very first The protiston was the first ancestor of mankind, so you can just see the relative importance of a king or a duke, not only in regard to yourself, but when he is compared with that scheme of the universe which brought human kind into being. Like all simple life or atomic stuff, the protista are gregarious, that is to say that in their particular case, it is not conscious or politic gregariousness that makes them herd together. They herd solely by attraction, probably on a heat-principle, just as the atoms combine to form molecules, and so upward—also by attraction. Given the social union of many, the development and extension of the principle of life was naturally to follow just again as the growth of molecules and larger matter from atoms. Eventually the lowest form of worm—gastrula, they call it—came into existence. Then followed, in the course of long ages, the simple cord-like creepers, a trifle more complex in structure than the gastrula. Then appeared the small skull-less worm known as the lancelet, or the amphioxus, still more vigorous and more aggressive. After that came the skulled animal—the cranioton—with rudimentary headpieces; then the fish, and, in their turn, the lower vertebrae, like birds, then the higher, then the man-ape then the ape-man and ultimately the tribal male The human embryo, when developing, goes through in succession every stage that animal life has known upon earth since it was in the protiston stage—that is, of course, in the direct line of descent from the protiston to man. In other words, at first there is the simple plasmic stuff in the female cell and the worm-like cell of the mate. The combination of the twain makes the growth develop in such a way that at a certain period, this embryo is like an eel, later like a fish, subsequently like a bird, then like a dog or a cat, afterward like a monkey and ultimately like a human baby. Our evolution in the course of being born is not less wonderful than the evolution of a butterfly in the various stages. All this progress starts, then, from a moneron, the single cell, which has elementary life and elementary consciousness. "Good Fellows" Lack Initiative By JOHN A. HOWLAND. Cheerfulness of speech and demeanor on the part of the man who must work among his fellow mer long has been cited as one of the cardinal virtues. Volumes have been written and spoken upon the subject. But as in the case of so many other of the good things of life, these optimistic champions of cheerfulness occasionally exaggerate. They would have us believe that nowhere in social relationships is there need for a frown—for the expression of righteous wrath—for an explosion of anger based on a righteous indignation. So exaggerated is the position of these doctrinaires of cheerfulness that they would have us at all times at the dead level of "peace at any price," dispensing cheerfulness for the sake of cheerfulness. Not long ago I was present in a small company of men connected with a large business when the subject of a successor to the head of an executive department of the house was up. "Jones never will get the place," said some one with an air of finality that was concurred in by everybody. "Jones knows enough; he's all right in doing something he is set to do and is responsible for, personally. But he's too easy going ever to be put in charge of a bunch of men such as he would have to manage in that department." I made some inquiries as to Jones' personality. Every man in the group was a personal friend of his. They had known him for years and could vouch for his honesty and innate good nature in every circumstance of life. But in attesting to this consummate cheerfulness and kindness of disposition they were reading him out of the list of possibilities for the most advantageous opening in his line of work. This virtue which they conceded in the man at once was a potential vice in the official. As an executive, it was the one handicap chargeable against him, yet out of my knowledge of business it was a weakness more to be considered than would be a disposition to a periodical outburst if ill-temper. To-day one of the greatest dangers in the usefulness of the young man lies in the invitation so widely extended to him to become "a good fellow." He gets an exaggerated idea of this invitation in school. His fraternity invites him to its consideration. This greatest handicap of perennial good nature in a man does not come from its expression on its own initiative. The type of man who would impose upon it steps in and makes largest demands upon this good fellowship as a cover to his shortcomings. Confession of weakness or of design is easy where the confessor expects no measure of penalty. If the transgressor discovers that he may count upon shelter behind some one, incapable of meting out justice to him, that shelter must be a standing invitation to still larger transgressions. "Sure, I can fix that up for you," is one of the commonest of set speeches everywhere: "I know Jones well and he's a 'good fellow.' Don't worry about it—I can fix that up, easy." P Everywhere in the world the promise of preference is to men of character. Easy good nature never will pass inspection as significant of character in man. Rather it is indicative of a lack of character. Passively, it may not be an unmixed evil, but it does not get anywhere in the world of initiative. --- Fifth Anniv Rice Lod No. 39 I. B.

The magnet that boys of yesterday used for a toy to-day as men they are employing as a useful instrument in their workshops. Within the last few years particularly, as W. Frank McClure points out, it is being adapted to handle many shapes of metal, all forms of iron and steel, from iron dust to scraps, or small junk to weights of 20,000 pounds. In fact, the world's largest magnet will lift as much as 40,000 pounds. The magnet is employed to break up imperfect castings, to hold sheets of metal in position while they are being riveted in the building of ships, to lift a "sow and pigs" at the furnaces, also as a gigantic broom to sweep both the large and small pieces of iron, and in numerous other ways. A half dozen kegs of nails may be seen traveling through the air, held by magnetic lines of forces despite the wooden covering of the kegs. Even two or three men are sometimes lifted from the ground, their feet resting on a metal sheet which is firmly held by the magnet. The flat style of magnet is available for picking up metal sheets, from two to six at a time, one under the other, the number depending upon their thickness. These may be dropped by the magnet one at a time at the desire of the operator provided he is clever in adjusting the switch at precisely the right intervals.

Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington, who, with Senator Burton of Ohio, was promoted from the house, pays a warm tribute to his wife, an unusual contribution to an official publication. The sketch of Mr. Jones says he "was married to Minda Nelson at Enfield, Ill., in the fall of 1886, and whatever success he has attained is due to her earnest, faithful help and cheerful self-denial." Mr. Jones also unfolds an unusual professional experience—"has never acted as attorney for any railroad, telegraph, or express company, or for any public service corporation." The house of representatives of the Sixty-first congress embraces in its membership the champion legislator in American history, for Edward Thomas Taylor, representative-at-large from Colorado, says of his 12 years' service in the senate of his state: "Has the reputation of having been the author of more important laws T'S the "possum cabinet now." without doubt. The wit who invented that phrase, after President Taft's exploits in the south made the southern tree-climber a sort of national emblem, has received the backing of Webster on top of that of newspaper paragraphers. A Washington man who has time on his hands looked in the dictionary the other day, and his eye fell upon the word "philander." The meaning given was "a South American opossum." Thus has fate worked to give to the secretary of state his final credentials for the office. Other searchers since have examined Webster, with the following results, as regards cabinet members: A BIG bronze sun dial, topping an open-air altar of white marble, is one of the relics and landmarks that are accumulating in the majestic grove of old oaks where soon will rise the great Episcopal cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. Already this solemn, wind-swept spot, dear to Protestants because of its deep religious associations, is becoming one of the show places of the national capital. From the site chosen for the cathedral one's view overreaches all the domes, towers and spires of Washington city. Around the site a number of buildings and memorials have been built. First, there is the Peace Cross. The raising and consecration of this cross was the first service in the cathedral close. The principal address was delivered by President McKinley. A chapel has been constructed in the grounds and this is called the Little Sanctuary. It was a gift IT IS very unromantic, but true, that the Washington business man who has acquired the finest autograph book in the last 50 years is the proprietor of a "corn doctor's" establishment. He showed his register of autographs to a congressional visitor who had dropped in to have his corns pared and treated. The establishment started a short time before the death of Lincoln and among the early signatures in the book was an unquestionably authentic one of the emancipator, who, according to the proprietor of the place, was quite a regular attendant in the effort to have his corns suppressed. He once told the chiropodist—who and constitutional amendments than any person that ever sat in any legislature of any state of the union during the history of the government—over 40 general statutes and five separate constitutional amendments that were adopted by a vote of the people." While serving as postmaster at Caruthersville, Representative Crow of Missouri relates that "several times he called the attention of congress to the manner of weighing mails; congress finally revised the method, whereby it is estimated that a saving of $10,000,000 a year was affected." An interesting figure in the house is Delegate Cameron of Arizona, Republican. He defeated veteran Mark Smith last fall, whereupon the story went the rounds that this result was a part of a scheme to secure statehood allaying the Republican opposition by the idea that two Republican senators would be chosen by the new state. But Mr. Cameron has a better claim to fame than any based on politics. He located and built the "Bright Angel" trail into the Grand canyon of Colorado and still maintains it. The baby of the house is Pallette Elvins of Missouri, who was sworn in on the day on which he completed his thirty-first year. Secretary Dickinson of the war department makes no reference to his politics in the sketch of himself. The one political fact stated in Secretary MacVeagh's biography is that he was a Democratic candidate for the United States senate in the '90's. Franklin (MacVeagh)—"A substantial householder." Such the secretary of the treasury certainly is. Jacob (Dickinson)—"A supplanter." He supplanted Luke Wright. George (Von L. Meyer)—"A landholder; husbandman." This designation of the new secretary of the navy applies also to George W. Wickersham, the new attorney general. James (Wilson)—Same as Jacob. Mr. Wilson, however, has supplanted none but himself for the last 12 years Frank (Hitchcock)—"Free." No reference to government franking privileges. Richard (Ballinger)—"Strong like a ruler; powerful"—as befits a secretary of the interior. Charles (Nagel)—"Manly; noblespirited." None has yet denied possession of that quality by the secretary of commerce and labor. Still other searchers hunted up the Christian names of the president and ex-president, and found that William means "protector" and Theodore "the gift of God." from Mrs. Percy R. Pyne, and in it have been gathered memorials of the Church of England, the Church in the Wilderness and the Church of Mount Zion. The remains of Henry Y. Satterlee, first bishop of Washington, rest under the floor of this chapel. This altar and sun dial is called a "landmark," and was given by Mrs. Julia James to commemorate the freedom of the cathedral lands from debt and the consequent hallowing of the close. The altar is also somewhat of a genealogical monument of the donor, in the several panels around the sides of the marble piece being inscribed a large number of names, with the dates of birth, marriage and death, and the names of to whom married and the names of children begotten. There is no telling when the cathedral will be built, but the building fund is growing, and the foundation stone of the cathedral was laid with an imposing and monster ceremony September 29, 1907. On that occasion addresses were delivered by President Roosevelt and the bishop of London. There were present 60 bishops, 200 members of the general convention of the Episcopal church and about 25,000 laymen. The foundation stone was brought from Bethlehem. in those days didn't have a Latin name, but was called a corn specialist—that "his corns made him almost as much trouble as congress," a sentiment which ex-President Roosevelt might have echoed, but he never did because he didn't have any corns, and was, in fact, declared to be the only president since Lincoln who hasn't been a patron of this establishment. Anyhow, the register contains the autographs of Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison and McKinley. Garfeld wasn't president long enough to develop corns, though the expert opines that at the rate he was kicking people out during the short time he served as president, he would soon have required attention. The book contains the autographs of thousands of cabinet ministers, senators, members of congress and other famous national characters. Casual inspection of it would almost enforce the generalization that corn and public service are seemingly inseparable. 1008 15th St., Denver, Colo.

Parsee: ba eae ts vA | Dean Ui LA I AN etl DEATH SLAIMS FORMER JUSTICE OF COLORADO SUPREME COURT DIES AT FORT COLLINS, FOR MANY YEARS PRIMINENT IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS IN NORTH- ERN COLORADO. Denver—A Fort Collins dispatch Thursday night says: Judge George W. Bailey, former justice of the Su- preme Court of Colorado, died in the hospital here tonight at 7:10 from diabetes. ‘At his bedside when the end came were Mrs. Bailey, her sister, Mrs. W. L, Strickler of Denver and Mrs. L. C. Moore, a friend of the widow. Eugene Bailey, a brother of the deceased jur- ist, residing at Denver, and a brother- inlaw, Clarence Jarbeau, also of Den- yer, arrivec this afternoon. The Judge knew none of those around him. He had been unconscious for three days. He entered the hos- pital April 1st to undergo an operation for a carbuncle on his neck. This had healed when the serious kiduey Wisease developed. Judge Bailey was one of the best known lawyers and jurists of Colorado and was famed for his knowledg of 11- rigation matters. He was born fa St. Louis March 8, i856. When but a child he accompanied his parents to Minois. ‘Inere his father joined the Union army and while the parent was fighting tor his country, young George worked in the coal mines, his meager wages being devoted to the support of his mother. Hé remained in the mines until he was sixteen, when the family moved to this county and the father filed on a homestead. A short time afterward young George became a cowboy, following that vocation in Dakota, where he practiced rigid economy and assisted his family to improve the homestead. Returning to Colorado later he en- gaged in various avocations, finally entering the newspaper business in Loveland, where he conducted the | Register. Tn 1882 he went to Grand Lake, Colo., where he started the Grand Lake Prospector, which paper he sold in 1884 and took up the study of law under the late Supreme Court justice, C. T. Caswell, with whom he later ‘sat as an associate on the Supreme bench. | Soon after being admitted to the har he returned to Fort Collins, where he became city attorney and for five years was deputy district attorney. For sev- eral years he served as counsel for the commissioners of Larimer county and also as an attorney for the Water Sup- ply & Storage Company. He was elect- ed judge of the County Court, which of- fice he held for some time, and in Jan- uary, 1905, on the consolidation of the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court, he was appointed justice of the Supreme Court, taking the oath of cf. fice in April of that year. While a resident of Grand Lake he married April 17, 1883, Miss Belle Jar- beau of that city. He is survived by a widow and three sons, I. L. Bailey’ of Fort Collins, George J. Bafley, a stu- dent in the law department of the State University, and Clarence H, Bail. ey, who attends public school here. Besides Eugene Batley, he had two oth- er brothers, one living in Newton, Colo., and the other in Red Bluff, Cal. He was a thirty-second degree Mason, a Royal Arch Mason, Shriner, member vf the Knights Templar, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Elks, Woodmen, Knights of Maccabees, Eastern Star and the Fraternal Ald Association. The funeral will be contlucted by the Masons. Philippine Tariff Message. Washington.—The President Thurs- Jay sent to Congress a special mes- sage in relation to the Philippine tar- iff. The message transmits recom- mendations by the secretary of war for a revision of tho Philippine tariff so as to permit as much customs reve- nue as possible for the islands, and at the same time extend to the islands the principle of a protective tariff for its industries. Generally speaking, the bill submit- ted by the President makes a slight increase in the rates of duty now pro- yided in the Philippine tariff, but its framers say its tendency is to insure as far as practicable the benefit of the Philippine market for American man- tures and products. The bill makes some additions to the free list, There will be an in- crease in internal revenue duties by which it s hoped to make up the loss which the Philippine islands will sus- tain by the operation of the free trade provisions in the pending Payne tariff eer Boston.— The lengthy litigation against relatives of the late Andrew J. Davis, a wealthy Montana mine own. er, by Mrs, Eva A, Ingersoll of Dobbs’ Ferry, N. Y., widow of the late Col, Robert G.

Following the death of Mr. Da- vis certain of his relatives engaged Colonel Ingersoll as counsel in an ef- fort to break his will, agreeing to pay him $100,000.

The long tucked sleeves are finished with lace ruffles. Materials required: 8 yards 46 inches wide, % yard lace, 2 yards lining. WHITE NOW IN HIGH FAVOR Color No Longer Regarded as Suitable to Youth Alone Is Sure to Be Much Worn. A growing inclination to wear white is apparent. White was once regarded as the special privilege of youth. Now, with a clearer knowledge of the values of color and a better realization of the importance of surrounding, one indulges one's natural tastes. Perhaps the influence of the period under which fashion is passing has something to do with this, for the women who amused themselves at Trianon used white freely and without stint. Be that as it may, white gowns, and white generally, will be more worn this coming season than ever. White cloth in a variety of makes, satin charmeuse, the cashmere and white serge, in an infinite variety of qualities and thicknesses, will come in for much attention from artists in dress. As to the lingerie gown, its importance in the wardrobe cannot be questioned. It is one of the most useful things to have and, whether worn outside or indoors, permits so much individual taste and charm in contrast that it is quite indispensable. DRESS FOR SMALL CHILD. ```markdown ``` Here is a dainty little dress in cream nun's veiling. The pretty-shaped opening at neck is edged with silk galloon; a set of pin tucks are made in centre of front below opening, and also round the foot of skirt; the armholes are edged by galloon. The little slip or blouse, which is separate, is in cream spotted silk, finished at the neck and elbow by a narrow frill. A colored sash is worn below waist. Materials required: 2 yards veiling 46 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{4}$ yard silk 36 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard galloon. Return to Mahogany. There is quite a return at present to the use of mahogany candlesticks for the bedrooms and living-room. They are even used on supper tables. The mahogany candlestick is old, with a high polish, and stands quite high on a flat base. The candles are used without shades. A pair of them is a good finish to a mahogany bookcase, also to a mahogany desk. Cotton to Be Worn. Gowns of coarse cotton not embroidered in a heavy crude darning stitch are to be worn in not only white, but colors. They are made over china or other soft silks or even thin cotton of glossy finish. Combination Lingerie Both Comfortable and Suitable to the Present Fashion. The work of making lingerie is very much lightened this season by combining three pieces in one. The slim as well as the stout woman approves of this plan. After a woman has worn the three-piece combination, which fastens down the front, is without belts, draw strings, plats or gathers, she cannot return with satisfaction to wearing the three separate pices. The new garment is worn over the corset, which is placed over a thin lisle-thread skirt or a knee-length combination suit. The latter is more acceptable than any other garment under the corset. The shirt cannot be kept down, and wrinkles around the edge of the corset, making a ridge that shows through the outer skirt. Dressed in this fashion, a woman is more comfortable than she ever has been. Her underclothes are reduced to minimum weight, her waist line is natural and not made larger by strings, buttons and belts, and the lack of petticoats gives her greater freedom in walking. Attractive Empire Combs Empire combs have come back with the empire coiffures, and in Paris and London there has been a rage for the genuine combs of the period, very high prices being paid in many cases for the antiques. Even where the stones used are not real gems, the design and workmanship often give real value to these combs; but excellent reproductions have been made from many of the most attractive empire designs, and these will content the woman who does not care to spend a large sum upon an ornament which is likely to be but a passing fad. Dealers in antiques tell us, however, that they have sold a number of the genuine old combs, chiefly in dull gilt and pearls.-American Register, London. Tight Sleeves and Low Collars. Tight sleeves and Low Collars. Women whose arms are either very full or very thin dislike the revelation of the sleeve that is guiltless of any fulness whatsoever. But for the woman who can wear the smaller sleeve nothing is more chic at present, for it gives a very narrow-shouldered, slender look to the most corpulent figure. Collars are less exaggerated than they were a year ago, and the shawl collars and collarless necks of the new coats are a boon to women who do their own tailoring. They are awfully good style and very easy to make.—Delineator. Coral Linen Frocks Coral linen is a good material for the foundation of a walking suit which is to be self-trimmed, soutached, outlined with eyelet or made severely plain. Black should be introduced in the trimming scheme, though not in a marked degree. A black hat is suitable for wear with a coral linen frock, providing the dress shows just the least particle of black, which is easily obtained in piped lines. Fashion Is an Economy For once we have stumbled on a fashion that is really an economy, for instead of having a high-necked gown for the theater and a semi-low necked gown for an informal dinner, a woman now needs but one dress for both occasions.

When Properly Cooked—How to Retain Sweetness and Flavor of Fresh Fruit. At this season, as the preserve closet stores are dwindling on the shelves, the housewife naturally turns to dried and evaporated fruits. Properly cooked, the dried fruits are delicious and wholesome. The only reason that their popularity the housewife naturally turns to dried and evaporated fruits. Properly cooked, the dried fruits are delicious and wholesome. The only reason that their popularity has ever waned has been due to bad cooking. All dried fruits-require long soaking to restore the lost juices, then slow cooking to develop the latent sweetness and fruit flavor. Prunes cooked in this way need no sugar at all, unless one has a phenomenally sweet tooth. Currants and raisins lend themselves to a great variety of wholesome dishes, the currant particularly being now recognized as a real health food. Carefully dried apples make a sauce almost as good as the fresh apples, to say nothing of delicious pies and cakes. Cherries, plums and pears properly treated may be used satisfactorily almost any way that fresh fruits are cooked. Few housekeepers realize the possibilities of dried apricots as the basis of delicious desserts. Added to mincemeat or combined with other dried fruit their delicate acid flavor serves to bring out the rich flavor of other ingredients. They require long soaking—from ten to twenty hours—using plenty of sugar in the water in which they are soaked; if they are ripe and appetizing they are then ready for use, without any cooking whatever. Simply drain, boil the sirup down one half and pour over the fruit. If the fruit was put up a little green they may need some cooking; but it must be a gentle simmer, not a rapid boil, which toughens. A nice combination of flavors is found by using equal quantities of prunes and apricots. Wash thoroughly and soak over night in water to cover. The next morning simmer until tender, then press through a colander. Sweeten to taste and cook a little longer. Serve as sauce or allow a tablespoonful gelatin to each pint of the cooked fruit. Soak the gelatin in cold water for half an hour, then dissolve in boiling water or over the tea kettle. Stir thoroughly in with the fruit, turn into a mold and set in a cool place to harden. Serve with cream. Cherry Salad. Two cups of canned cherries, one cup canned pineapple cut in small pieces, one cup white grapes, from which the seeds are removed, cut in quarter, and one-half cup English walnut kernels. Mix fruit and nuts together. Add mayonnaise dressing mixed with cream. Do not mix until before serving. This serves six or seven people. Tapioca Salad. Cook one cup of taploca until transparent. Remove seeds from half a pound of large white grapes and cut in halves; three large bananas, two oranges, one cup of pineapple, all cut in small pieces, and one cup of cherries. Add to this the cooked taploca, mix thoroughly, spread with shredded cocoanut and serve with whipped cream. Dainty Orange Baskets. Use large, well-formed oranges. Cut out two corners to make a handle to the basket, scoop out inside. Make a filling of tapioca cream flavored with the orange juice; let cream cool, fill the orange basket with the cream and top with whipped cream. Add either a maraschino cherry or a dot of red jelly to either side of handle. Winter Chili Sauce. One can of tomatoes, two large onions, one tablespoon of salt, one teaspoon of pepper or a pinch of cayenne, one cup of sugar, one-half cup of vinegar, one-half teaspoon each of the different spices. Let cook slowly about two hours. It is nice on beans or cold meats and can hardly be told from fresh tomatoes. Apple Sauce Pie Line a plate with plain paste. Cover bottom with pieces of bread spread with butter. Over this pour custard made of one egg, one tablespoon sugar, one-half teaspoonful cornstarch and one cup milk. Upon this spread apple sauce thickly and sprinkle with cinnamon, then bake until custard is thick. Sardine Appetizer: Have bread toasted crisp, hard crust removed. Beat together one teaspoonful of butter, one-half teaspoonful of mustard, a little cayenne pepper, one teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce and a little lemon juice. Spread on toast, lay on sardines and set in oven a few minutes before serving. Sandwich Ham. After boiling a piece of ham the short, shank end is generally stringy and often wasted. If this is passed twice through a meat chopper and then mixed with a little sweet cream it makes ham which is excellent for sandwiches. Time Savers. When ready to core apples, if you do not own a corer, use a common wooden clothes pin—does the work just as well.
