BUILDIN The Negro Must buy to Have a able Property Only R Go out into the Subur MAKING A HOME. Sometime ago, THE COLORADO STATESMAN advised our people to buy homes. Conditions then were becoming such that a colored family could not rent desirable properties. The elapse of time has not tended to improve conditions, rather, it has served only to accentuate the previous observations of this paper. This very very unfortunate conditions of affairs, while entailing needless ignomy upon highly respectable members of our race, has resulted in the greatly increased number who are purchasing homes. This is essentially a land of homes. Places where the humblest citizens can own and occupy as his own. The laws and customs tend to discourage the large landed estates. The founders of our government realized the dignity of owning property, and when they proclaimed the imperial dignity of American citizenship it carried with it the elevation of the home of the humblest to the level of the castle of the richest. To own a home means much self-denial to the laboring man and woman. It means pleasures forgone and long hours of labor. But the possession of a home means better citizens, nobler men and women, and from them must come a higher ideal of government. The conditions in Denver are no different from those prevailing in the Eastern and Southern cities. Race prejudice is forcing the masses of our people to buy homes if they would live in any degree of modern comfort and ease. THE RENTER. One who will take the time to visit the various localities where houses are rented to Negroes will not be surprised at their condition. Many of these houses have become so racked and worn that white people who can afford to pay a fair rental will not live in THEM. Each year these places become more undesirable for either the Negro or white renter. But the large portion of our people must take them because they can get nothing else. This is a kind of "pillow to post" existence that tends to sap the energy and manhood from a people. A people without property soon degenerate. The Negro renter is changing. He is becoming a property owner, and out of his small earnings is making a strong effort to buy a home. And right here the Colorado Statesman, always mindful of our peoples interest, desires to advise them. It is equally unfortunate that our people ALL want to live down town. They want to buy where the business portion of the city is right at their door. To do this is as much a mistake as not to buy at all. Denver is a rapidly growing city. Its retail and wholesale districts are spreading in all directions and taking in the districts heretofore offered colored buyers. Our people require time on practically all their purchases and before they pay for an inside home, down town, they find themselves hemed in by big warehouses and business blocks. Go out into the suburbs and buy. SURBURBAN HOMES. Denver is a large city. It is spread over a large expanse of territory. Its suburbs are beautiful and possess ALL the modern conveniences found down town. Our street railway system reaches in all directions and offers a service to its patrons unequalled by any other city. The telephone system is complete and brings the suburbanite in touch with down town life. Here will be found gas, water, and electricity ready to contribute their share to the comfort and pleasure of ALL who choose the fresh air of the suburbs to the close conditions down town. Another feature equally important as more healthful homes, is that the buildings are comparatively new and the purchase price is low with reasonable terms. This is a rare opportunity for our people and those who are wise will loose no time in getting out where they can have more room, purer air, plenty of water, and better houses. Our people must get out into the open where they will have the healthiest surroundings. In the down town tenement districts, the air in the houses is close and foul and it is little wonder that more do not die. Many come to Colorado seeking health and with a sublime faith in our climate settle in these districts. What they should do is to go out into the suburbs and live in the open air. Raise garden truck, chickens and pigs. Denver affords a ready market for all such products. Denver needs and will DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Societ State House ronizing The RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, welcome hustling Negroes just the same as any other class. Here we have the climate and the soil. And what we need most is the right kind of people. The coming of good citizens will be the means of ameliorating the prejudices that has so greatly increased during the past few years, due in a measure to the idle indifference of a great many of our people. Get you a home in the suburbs and get it soon. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES In Chicago there are 125 colored men who are first-class engineers, and many of them are holding positions as engineers in some of the largest plants in Chicago. The Negroes of Dayton, Ohio., have added to their $100,000 Dunbar Memorial and other recent enterprises, a splendid baseball and pleasure park. On the basis of co-operative enterprises, Dayton Negroes have a large score and many strong strikes to their credit. Miss Edmonia Lewis, the poor Negro girl sculptor, who, by dint of the hardest struggles, won fame and fortune in this country a generation ago, has almost dropped out of sight, but she still resides honored and respected in Rome. Like many another famous Negro, who has won his way over a sea of troubles, Miss Lewis prefers to remain on the other side. New Orleans, May 9,—Lorenzo D. Cunningham, a Negro employee of the United States mint at New Orleans, was arrested today as he was exhibiting a real gold brick. Cunningham confessed that he had stolen the gold in granulated form from the separating division of the mint, and then molded it into the oval shape in which it was found. The Business Clerks' Association of Philadelphia, Pa., a newly launched organization composed of sixty young colored women employed as stenographers, typewriters and bookkeepers in that city, held its first public installation Sunday afternoon, April 25, at the Wesley A. M. E. Church, Lombard and Fifteenth streets. Joseph Jackson of Chicago, a colored man who is regarded as an expert engineer, a few years ago invented a smoke consumer, and this smoke consumer is now used in every manufacturing place and every mill and every large building in Chicago, although it is said that he, like most of colored men who have invented excellent and useful patents, put it in the hands of white men, and they are the ones who are now benefited by it financially. Memphis, Tenn., May 10.—At the seventy-seventh annual convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee, held in this city last week, the Negro members of the church in the diocese gained consent to have a separate convention. This does not entail a separation of the Negroes from the church in any sense, but permits them to take care of their own church problems in a convention of their own. Baton Rouge, La , Nov. 10.—An unusual sentence was served in the State Penitentiary last week. Elmore Williams, a Negro, was sentenced in De Soto parish to one hour in prison for involuntary manslaughter. Williams made more money in serving his sentence than he had ever made before at one time in his life, being given upon his discharge the customary five dollars in cash, a new suit of clothes, and pair of shoes. Tallahassee, Fla., May 11.—One day last week Gov. Gilchrist received telegrams from two citizens of Columbia County advising him that registered Negroes were being prevented from voting in a local election being held in that county through threats of violence, Gov. Gilchrist wired Sheriff Vance of Columbia County, as follows: "Advised mob, by threats, refused permit qualified Negroes poll their votes in election. All qualified electors are entitled to vote. Protect them in their rights, whether white or black." An order was made last week by the commissary department of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, with offices in Jersey City, and which went into effect Monday morning, whereby the railroad took from the management of the Pullman Company three Pullman dining cars which have heretofore run on the Pennsylvania under the direction of the Pullman people. Three crews, twenty-seven men in all, were affected by the change. Some of the waiters have been in the employ of the Pullman Company for many years. Caddie A. Whitman of Atlanta, Ga., widow of the noted colored poet-preacher, Alberry A. Whitman, a representative colored woman mother of the Whitman Sisters, and who for over thirty years has given her life to charitable and rescue work, passed away yesterday at her Hilliard street home. She occupied a foremost place in her race, lecturing and organizing societies and clubs for the rescue of colored women and girls, and directing a general organization known us "The Mothers of the Twentieth Century," of which she was the president and inspiration. Little Rock, Ark. Eugene Caldwell, colored, who is master of 21 languages, is attracting much attention in this city. It is said that he is one of the best linquists in the South, regardless of color. He is said to have visited many nations and provinces on continents and in 5,000 islands of the sea. He is a wonder. His ancestors were born in Abyssinia. Caldwell is 33 years of age. He was born in Africa and reared in Germany. He is a genuine black man and proud of his color. He has been South only a short while. Bert A. Williams, of Williams and Walker, made his debut in the vaudeville world alone at Keith's, Boston, Monday, where he is headliner. According to the Boston papers he is a scream. Says the Boston Post: "One of the best numbers was furnished by Bert Williams. His 'That's Plenty,' 'Carrie Nation Jones,' and 'That Loving Man', were loudly enced, and he was forced to repeat his hit of several years ago, 'Nobody.' His dancing was a perfect scream." The Boston Transcript comments in part as follows: "Bert A. Williams ended his turn with a dance of indifference, a laconic dance, if you will. There seemed to be no end to the entertainment that one man can afford. And when the leader of the orchestra smiles broadly, the jokes are bound to have a true humorous savor." DEMOCRATS MAY DROF THE VERNON INCIDENT Conflicting Reports in Associated Press Dispatches about the affair. The five Southern Democrats who threatened to make an issue of the race question because two colored men were served with luncheon in the House office building restaurant, are not certain now that they wish to press the matter. They are rather of the opinion that they were in the wrong pew, and having left it will remain out of it. When Representatives Garner and Dies of Texas, Stanley of Kentucky, Candler of Mississippi, and Sims of Tennessee, left the office building restaurant they were boiling with rage at the thought that colored men should be allowed to eat in the same room with them. Incidently they proposed to shoulder their troubles on Speaker Cannon, and intentionally or unintentionally place him in an embarrassing position. They carried their rage as far as Speaker Cannon's outer office, where L. White Busbey, the Speaker's secretary, presides. With great indignation Mr. Garner declared that he did not propose, as a member of the House of Representatives, to be subjected to the indignity of being compelled to eat his meals in a Government controlled restaurant in which colored N.O. 35 persons are permitted. The restaurant, he said, was established for the convenience and comfort of members of the House, and so far as he was concerned, to say nothing of many others, he did not intend to submit to it. If he could get no satisfaction from the Speaker, who had power to act, he would take the matter up on the floor of the House next Monday. Those were Mr. Garner's sentiments until Mr. Busby made some remarks on the subject, to-wit: The restaurant in which the Southern Democrats encountered W. T. Vernon, the colored register of the Treasury, and a friend, comfortably ensconced at a table, is not the restaurant designed for the members of the House in the office building. Speaker Cannon never intended that his colleagues in the House should eat the noon day luncheons in a room so devoid of decorations and comfort as that in which a race war was narrowly averted. The real facts in the matter are, remarked Mr. Busbey, that Elliot Woods, the Superintendent of the Capitol, has a force of men working on a large room in the building which was intended for the exclusive use of the members of the House and their guests. Of course the members could use the employees' restaurant if they desired to do so, but—did the Southern members wish to see the Speaker about the matter? No, they did not, and they will not mention the subject in the House next Wednesday. Hereafter they will take lunch in the Capitol building proper where they will be safe from intrusion similar to that which aroused the ire of Garner and his friends.—Washington Times. Several conflicting reports have appeared in Associated Press dispatches about the incident growing out of the indignation expressed by five Southern Congressmen because they were compelled to take their luncheon in the House office dining room, when the Hon. W. T. Vernon was occupying a table in the same room. The facts are as follows: Mr. Vernon accompanied by Mr. W. L. Houston, Grandmaster of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, went to the Capitol on business, after transacting which they went into the dining room for luncheon. The dining room is open to the public, and Mr. Vernon has frequently been there. The statement which has appeared in some papers that it was a dining room reserved exclusively for members of Congress is incorrect. Messrs. Vernon and Houston ate their luncheon, and were at no time aware of the fact that their presence had created so much commotion. Some papers have made it appear that these gentlemen had pushed themselves into a place from which the general public was excluded. This does not happen to be true. As American citizens they had a perfect right to enter all parts of the Capitol Building and grounds, except such portions as are reserved from the public for special use by Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, and the incident was simply a tempest in a tea pot.

That there will be a sharp contest in the Senate over the proposition to refer to the judiciary committee the amendment to the tariff bill introduced by Senator Bailey, providing for an income tax, is indicated by a coalition of the Democrats and some of the "progressive Republicans" which became known Tuesday.

COLORADO'S OWN HELEN KELLER DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND GIRL USES SEWING MACHINE AND TYPEWRITER. IS QUITE ACCOMPLISHED DOLL MADE BY HER ON EXHIBITION AT STATE HOUSE IN DENVER. Denver.—Among the exhibits from the penal and charitable institutions shown in the Senate chamber of the state house yesterday, says the Republican, was a doll. It was not very prominent, it was among a large number of clever articles made by the deaf and blind at the school at Colorado Springs. But that doll was made by Lottie Sollivan, Colorado's "Helen Keller." It was desired that she be brought to Denver to attend yesterday's conference. But the doll was all that could be brought. This is a girl who does things that even Helen Keller has not done. She uses a typewriter, she sews on a sewing machine. Yet she is blind and deaf and dumb and has been so since her birth. Now she is nineteen years old and is said by her teachers to be the equal of Miss Keller in brilliancy. Not until she was seven years old did the light of knowledge enter her head. She was nothing but a breathing mass of flesh without thought. But she was taken under the care of teachers of the blind. She learned to talk with her hands, to read and write by the raised letter system. She knows the things which she touches. She can write a letter on her typewriter without a mistake in spelling, phraseology, diction or punctuation. The typewriter was made especially for her. It has the blind cipher code upon it, and instead of making impressions in the paper, the keys leave little raised dots on it. But Lottie can write with pen and ink also. She knows the alphabet, and her letters are such formal, precise, pathetic letters that they carry a world of meaning to those who look at them in sympathy. Lottie Sullivan can make clothes and she generally sits at her machine in the afternoon, making doll's clothes, threading her needle, running the seams, all by herself. Golden Smelter to Reopen. Golden.-The smelter at this place, known as the Carpenter plant, is to be blown in again in the near future and from all indications will prove an important factor in the smelting industry of the West, but more particularly of Clear Creek, Gilpin and Boulder counties. In connection with the smelter, the North American Smelter & Mines Company, the name of the new corporation, is being organized under Colorado laws, with a capital of $2,000,000. The president of the North American Smelter and Mines Company is George L. Irvine, a retired manufacturer of Chicago who is in Denver at this time in connection with the business; H. A. Riedel of Denver is vice president and general manager; Col. A. J. Trone of Louisiana is second vice president; Fred H. Nye, formerly state inspector of mines of Colorado, will look after the mining interests of the company. The directorate of the new company will be made up of prominent stockholders. A strong English syndicate has become heavily interested. Grand Valley Men in Washington. Washington.—Horace T. DeLong and D. W. Aupperie, representing the Grand Valley Water Users' Association of Grand Junction, reached here Wednesday, and will endeavor to have the recent order rescinded which Secretary Ballinger issued directing that work be discontinued on the High Line irrigation project in Grand valley. This project was authorized by former Secretary Garfield, who signed a contract with the Water Users' association February 20th last, under which the preliminary construction work was in progress by the reclamation service when May 4th Secretary Ballinger directed that work should be discontinued "on account of local dissensions." Messrs, DeLong and Aupperle state that they are not aware that any local dissensions exist, and they are certain there is a general desire locally that the government should continue the enterprise. It is believed the government has not decided to abandon the enterprise, but has discontinued it because of lack of funds for prosecuting new work. The Penrose & Northern railway, in Fremont county, which is financed by the Beaver Land & Irrigation Company, has just completed laying three and a half miles of rails and expects to have the road in operation by June 1st.

RECIPE FOR BANANA FRITTERS Method of Preparation Not Altogether New, But Carries Most Appetizing Suggestion. The following recipe by Jane M. Hill looks good. It is something new, and from its source must surely be worth trying: One egg, one-half cup of flour, one-quarter cup of milk or water, one-quarter teaspoonful salt, bananas. Sift together the flour and salt, drop the yolk of the egg into the center of the mixture and slowly stir in the milk; when the milk is about half used, beat the mixture until very smooth and stir in the rest of the milk. Cover the batter and set aside for an hour or more. When ready to use, fold in the white of the egg beaten dry. Remove the skin and coarse threads from the banana, cut them in halves crosswise, cut the halves lengthwise and dip the pieces in the batter, covering them completely. Fry in deep fat to a golden brown. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon, as a dessert dish, or, with currant jelly or a hot sauce as an entree with meats. Often the pieces of bananas are sprinkled with sugar or lemon juice and set aside half an hour before frying. When so treated the banana needs be drained very carefully before it is dipped into the batter. IVORY BRUSH REQUIRES CARE Flour or French Chalk Should Be Used for Cleaning This Popular Toilet Article. The popular fancy for ivory articles, hair brushes particularly, has but one drawback, the difficulty of keeping the brush clean. A dealer in ivory brushes says they can be kept clean by rubbing plenty of flour or French chalk into the brush, wrapping it in brown paper and letting it stand over night. In the morning the brush should be shaken hard, and the rest of the flour can be blown out with a small bellows. A mixture of white cornmeal and gasoline can be rubbed into the bristles if they are very much soiled. Never let fear of injury to ivory prevent absolute cleanliness. An unsanitary brush is fatal to scalp health. Treacle Tart. Required: Six ounces of clarified drippings, one pound of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, half a pound of treacle, quarter of a pound of breadcrumbs, juice and grated rind of a small lemon. Mix the baking powder with the flour, then rub into it half the dripping. Work all into a firm paste with cold water. Roll out the paste, spread on it the remains of the dripping, fold up and roll out again. Line a greased pie-dish with the pastry. Slightly warm the treacle, stir into it the breadcrumbs, and the rind and juice of the lemon. If necessary, add more crumbs to stiffen the treacle.

Bake in a good oven for three-quarters of an hour and serve either hot or cold. Tournedos of Mutton.

TAFT'S TALK AT MECKLENBURG DECLARATION THERE SIGNED ONE OF FIRST STEPS TO-WARDS INDEPENDENCE. IS WET BY CLOUDBURST FRIGHTENED AUDIENCE CROWDS INTO PRESIDENT'S BOX FOR SHELTER. Charlotte, N. C. — President Taft came Thursday to Charlotte, the home of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, signed in May, 1775, and placed himself squarely on the side of those who look back upon the declaration as one of the first significant steps which led ultimately to American independence. A cloudburst during the afternoon just as the splendid military, floral and civic parade was passing in review before the President, promised serious consequences. It set the densely packed throng in front of the reviewing stand into a panic and there was a wild rush for shelter. The President's box was a goal for many men and women, and the chief executive had to be surrounded to save him from the sudden crush. In his address late in the day the President clearly explained his policy toward the South. "I do not believe we are on the point of a political revolution in the South," he said. "I never have had such a dream. What I do desire and believe we are on the eve of is a complete tolerance of opinion, and that there shall grow into respect and power an intelligent fighting opposition party in each stae." As to his appointment of a Democrat to the bench, the President declared that throughout the South he intended to pursue the policy he already had indicated, of appointing to office only that man who, Republican or Democrat, can command the highest confidence and commend himself to the community in which he lives. Mr. Taft's tribute to the Mecklenburg declaration was loudly cheered. He said it showed wisdom, self-reliance and a willingness to accept the responsibility of maintaining a government of law and order. During the cloudburst a passing industrial float became entangled in a live electric wire and tore it from its support, the slender thread of copper sagging almost to the heads of the scampering crowd below. To add to the tense situation there was a blinding flash of flame and a loud report not fifty yards from where the President stood. It developed later that some black powder intended for saluting purposes had been prematurely ignited. No one was injured. The President received quite a drenching, and for a time it seemed that the frail canvas covering the reviewing stand would tumble about the heads of those beneath. Among these was Mrs. Stonewall Jackson. When she had met Mr. Taft earlier in the day she had earnestly exclaimed: "I am indeed delighted to know the harmonizer of all our hearts." Citizens of Charlotte gave a public reception for the President tonight and he left on a late train for Washington. Mr. Taft was quite hoarse as a result of his encounter with the dust of the Petersburg battlefield and the Charlotte rain. Lander to Seattle. Vancouver, B. C.—Prominent officers of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railway, an important portion of the Chicago & Northwestern system and constituting 1,700 miles of its trackage, have been in Montana, Idaho and Washington and are now here. It is understood to be the intention of the Northwestern to reach Puget sound by an extension of the Chicago-Omaha line, from Lander, Wyo., less than fifty miles from the eastern boundary of Idaho. The building of about 550 miles of railway would give the system access to the Pacific seaboard. Spreckels on Graft Prosecution. San Francisco.—Rudolph Spreckels, whose testimony in the Calhoun case promised the defense and the public a statement of his contributions to the graft prosecution, was on the stand Wednesday. In a summary offered in evidence, it was declared that the total subscriptions from all sources amounted to $213,391, all of which had been expended. Mr. Spreckels testified that he had personally given $138,478 of this amount and from his declarations it was inferred that he was still self-obligated for an indefinite amount. Blackmailer Captured. Albuquerque, N. M.—Excitement is intense in Las Cruces, south of here, over the first attempted outrage of the Black Hand variety in that section. Nestor Armijo, a wealthy citizen received a letter ordering him to deposit $2,000 gold in a lonely spot by Thursday night, or he and his family would be assassinated and his home burned.

Economical and Nourishing, and Capable of Being Prepared in So Many Ways That It Is Not Likely to Pall. Rice is both an economical and a nourishing food, and can be used in scores of ways, so that it does not pall on one's taste. First, when you boil rice, drop it into boiling water, where it has plenty of room to boil up and around in- scores of ways, so that it does not pall on one's taste. First, when you boil rice, drop it into boiling water, where it has plenty of room to boil up and around instead of cooking in to a sticky gum. Let it boil until done, and then remove with a skimmer, and you will have a lovely, flaky pile in which each kernel is separate. Serve with milk, cream, sauce or syrup. A pretty way of serving rice is to dip some small cups into cold water, then fill them with the rice, press hard, so that when it is removed, it will retain the shape of the cup. Serve with butter and sugar, gravy or souce. A nice rich dish is made by taking a half pint of cooked rice, a half pint of strained tomato, a pint of hot water, a piece of butter the size of a large egg, a pinch of pepper and salt, half a tablespoonful of extract of beef and a teaspoonful of onion juice. Let the mixture come to a boil and then set it back and let it cook slowly well covered, without stirring, for an hour. Serve hot. This makes a large quantity. A small family can halve the recipe. A very nice pudding is easily made by cooking one-half pound of rice in a quart or a little less of milk in a double boiler until soft and thick, then adding three well beaten eggs with a half cupful of sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir this thoroughly and bake in a pudding dish until browned. Serve with any well-sweetened sauce. A rice and carrot soup is relished by all who like carrots. Cut crisp young carrots in slices and cook in slightly salted water until tender. Add a half-teaspoonful of onion juice, a dash of white pepper and a cupful of boiled rice. Let the mixture come to a boil, and then thicken with cream made by blending one and a half tablespoonfuls of flour with two table spoonfuls of butter and a tablespoonful of milk. When this has been added and the soup is nicely thickened thin with a cupful of hot cream or cream and milk. Fruit goes nicely with rice. A palatable pudding is easily made by cooking one cupful of rice until tender, then putting part—about half—into a pudding dish, adding pared, cored apples or peaches, covering with the remainder of the rice, steaming tightly covered for an hour, and serving hot with very sweet sauce. Lemon and cinnamon combine nicely with rice, either in puddings or in plain boiled rice. Tapioca Cream Soup. One quart of well-seasoned stock, two ounces of tapioca, two yolks of eggs, three or four tablespoonfuls of cream, pepper and salt. Boll up the stock and slowly shake in tapioca, stirring it till cooked (about seven minutes); when done it will float on the top. Beat up the yolks of the eggs, add the cream to them, let the soup boil a little, then put two or three tablespoonfuls of it into the eggs and cream and return all into the soup. Stir it carefully over the fire just to cook the egg, but do not let it boil or it will curdle. Little Data Cake. Cream one-third cup of butter with two-thirds cup of brown sugar. Add two unbeaten eggs and beat all together until very light. Add one-half cup of milk and one and three-quarters cup of flour sifted with three even teaspoons of baking powder, an even teaspoon of cinnamon and a few gratings of nutmeg. Stir in last one-half pound of dates stoned and cut in small pieces. Put the batter into small buttered tins, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake and cover with a white icing. Beannot Stew. Get a pound of shoulder steak, or any kind of stew meat, and cut up in inch pieces; place a layer of meat in bean pot, sprinkle with pepper and salt, then a tablespoon of flour, next a layer of sliced onion and one of potatoes, and so on until meat is used up; cover with a cup of water, place in oven covered and bake slowly; if water bakes off add more. Parsnips on Toast. Scrape and cut parsnips in thin slices; boil until tender, then drain and season; make a cream sauce of one cup of milk and one dessert spoonful of flour stirred smooth in one dessert spoonful of butter. Have ready slices of hot buttered toast. Spread parsnips on toast and cover with the sauce. Serve while hot. Caramel Pudding. Brown a scant cup of sugar in a dry frying pan until a rich brown liquid. Then pour in two cups of milk with a pinch of salt and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add four teaspoonfuls of cornstarch dissolved in a little milk. Pour out into molds, sprinkle with almonds and serve with cream. How to Shell Pecans Pecan nuts can be shelled easily if the nuts are put up for a few minutes in boiling water. This will soften the shell and make it quite possible to remove the meats without difficulty. Thurston H. U. Smith RESIDENCE AND GREENHOUSE S, 2961 LAWRENCE STREET. Telephone Main 5386.

Denver, Colo THE LADY'S DRESS CASE FOR THE BABY RIBBON. Easily Made and Really Indispensable as Part of Belongings of the Dainty Girl. The girl who knows how disreputable baby ribbon can become unless daintily cared for will welcome a simple, washable case that can be made in a few minutes. A somewhat large embroidered handkerchief with a border running around it was cut in half, each piece making a case. The half was turned up so that it folded in thirds, with the outer side coming down at a top or cover. The part cut in two was finished with a narrow hem and the ends were finely overcast together. The case was then divided into five compartment, three smaller ones, one on each end and the third in the middle, and two larger spaces between. These latter were made big enough to hold a bodkin run through the card on which the ribbon was wound. Small cardboard reels were made to fit each compartment. These were slightly curved on each edge to keep the ribbon from slipping. The advantage of such a case is that it is quickly laundered and takes up no room in a bag or trunk. If intended for a present, each reel can be filled with a piece of baby ribbon in different colors, the bodkins can be of silver or different colored ivory and a tiny pair of scissors can be attached to one of the reels. These make inexpensive and pretty trinkets for a set of prizes or as a ready seller at a bazar. BECOMING FORM OF NECKWEAR dea That Is Largely Copied from the Styles Popular with the Sterner Sex. We are getting more picturesque every day. This is especially true of neckwear. There are some women who cling to starched turnover collars and the high-boned, untrimmed stock because they are becoming; but many other women take advantage of the pictorial opportunities in neckwear. One of the newest fashions is a duplicate of the old method used by gentlemen for covering their necks. A high linen collar with a soft finish is fastened to the neckband of the blouse, its points are turned over by hand in front, and a black satin scarf is wrapped around the collar and tied in front. It is best to use satin on the bias. Any weave of it is correct. It is usually folded double and stitched so that it will not roll back and show the lining. It is finished in front with a loose bow and ends, or a precise little bow, from the center of which may dangle velvet ribbon, a lace frill, or jet balls. The most picturesque fashion is to arrange it in this formal little bow in front and add a double frill of Valenciennes lace down front of blouse. If the lace is dipped in tea it will take on that Old World color. Thin Black Dinner Gowns. Black tulle and net dinner gowns are extremely fashionable this season. The different qualities of these materials make it possible to have a variety. Jet is again popular, and there are many designs in jet passementerie and embroidery that are delightfully effective. As a rule skirts are made quite plain. Sometimes there is a fold of black satin or velvet ribbon around the hem, and one of the newest models has two folds of satin, the same fashion that was popular two years ago. Preserving the Complexion. Before going into the wind or on a long trip in an automobile, rub a little cold cream into the face and then powder thickly. BEWARE OF THE MUD SLINGER. Habit Sometimes Unconsciously Acquired, But It Is Always Fatal to Popularity. Are you a mud slinger? Soon life is only seen through dark glasses and your friends are naught but targets. The girl who would be horrified to cut a friend's throat thinks nothing of slashing her reputation, which is more than life. Why should stabbing a man in the back be counted a disgrace, and stabbing him to the heart with slander not raise a ripple of disapproval? What is mud slinging? It is hounding a girl who is down; it is mean innuendo and ugly flings at a rival; it is spreading instead of smothering a scandal and unctuous repeating of unkind gossip. The mud slinger cares not whether her victim is blackened by slime of the mire of untruth and hatred nor does a ruined life and heart-broken friends give her a reproachful pang. She keeps on detracting every one who meets with her disapproval, until she is dreaded by friend and foe alike. Girls can all too soon get into the way of mud slinging. It is easy to repeat thoughtless, unkind remarks, to impute wrong motives, to tell the ugly story, but it is an easiness that makes for hardship all around. The victim suffers, but not more than the character of the girl who acquires the habit of seeing nothing but evil. The surest way to be unpopular is to gain a reputation for saying cutting things. The very girls who laugh at them will secretly fear that they may be the next target and they will avoid you. They will remember the mud slinger's habit after they have forgot that they found it amusing. USEFUL SERGE COAT. THE NEW YORK CITY MAIL.

SKIN TROUBLES CURED. Two Little Girls Had Eczema Very Badly—In One Case Child's Hair Came Out and Left Bare Patches. Cuticura Met with Great Success. "I have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema. One of them had it on her lower limbs. I did everything that I could hear of for her, but it did not give in until warm weather, when it seemingly subsided. The next winter when it became cold the eczema started again and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches. At the same time her arms were sore the whole length of them. I took her to a physician, but the child grew worse all the time. Her sister's arms were also affected. I began using Cuticura Remedies, and by the time the second lot was used their skin was soft and smooth. Mrs. Charles Baker, Albion, Me., Sept. 21, "08." Potter Drug & Chem Corp.

A minister's wife had quite a tussle with coffee and her experience is interesting. She says: "During the two years of my training as a nurse, while on night duty, I became addicted to coffee drinking. Between midnight and four in the morning, when the patients were asleep, there was little to do except make the rounds, and it was quite natural that I should want a good, hot cup of coffee about that time. It stimulated me and I could keep awake better. "After three or four years of coffee drinking I became a nervous wreck and thought that I simply could not live without my coffee. All this time I was subject to frequent billious attacks, sometimes so severe as to keep me in bed for several days. "After being married, Husband begged me to leave off coffee for he feared that it had already hurt me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort to release myself from the hurtful habit. "I began taking Postum, and for a few days felt the languid, tired feeling from the lack of the stimulant, but I liked the taste of Postum and that answered for the breakfast beverage all right. "Finally I began to feel clearer headed and had steadier nerves. After a year's use of Postum I now feel like a new woman—have not had any billious attacks since I left off coffee."

ROGERS DEAD FROM APOPLEXY WAS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY SON INHERITS FORTUNE OF FIFTY TO SEVENTY-FIVE MILLIONS. New York.—Henry H. Rogers, vice president of the Standard Oil Company, moving spirit in the organization of the Amalgamated Copper Company, builder of railroads and philanthropist, died at his home here early Tuesday from apoplexy. Death came a little more than an hour after Mr. Rogers had risen for the day, mentioning to his wife that he was feeling ill. He was sixty-nine years old. Mrs. Rogers, three married daughters, a son, H. H. Rogers, Jr., and Dr. J. W. Pulley, a physician who was hastily summoned, were at the bedside when the end came. Mr. Rogers had been in indifferent health since he suffered an apoplectic stroke in 1907 and was almost constantly under a physician's care. His death, however, was a great shock to his family and business associates, as H. H. ROGERS. yesterday and last evening he was cheerful and apparently normal, even to the extent of going down to business Monday morning, where he lunched as usual in the Standard Oil building. News of the financier's death did not become generally known till about two hours after it occurred. The stock exchange had not opened when the report reached Wall street, but with the opening there was hardly an appreciable effect on the market. After a decline at first in the stocks in which he was popularly supposed to be interested, conditions rapidly adjusted themselves, confirming in a way that Mr. Rogers had in the last few months anticipated death and withdrawn from the market. Henry H. Rogers was a money-maker and one of the most successful men of the Standard Oil group. He began life as a poor boy at Fairhaven, Mass., where he was born, and retained his legal residence there until the day of his death. He is variously reported as having commenced life as a newsboy and as a driver of a grocery cart. He was a man of many friends and an enthusiastic yachtsman. Until recently he had held the reins of the Standard Oil Company following the retirement of John D. Rockefeller, although J. D. Archbold attended to the routine management of the great corporation. Just how much money Mr. Rogers leaves is not known. His fortune is variously estimated at from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000, which will make his son, H. H. Rogers, Jr., one of the richest men in the country. Mrs. Tucker Denied Alimony. Chicago.—Mrs. Dolly Logan Tucker, who is suing her husband, Col. William F. Tucker, U. S.

Consideration of the resolution was postponed until tomorrow. PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY MEETS THE BIG GATHERING OF CHURCH MEN IN DENVER NOW AT WORK. BARKLEY MODERATOR FULL PROGRAM ARRANGED FOR SUCCEEDING SESSIONS OF THE CONVENTION. Denver.—A triumph of whole-souled enthusiasm over political strategy, a victory of a man of the rank and file over the fashionable church clergyman, representing the wealth and power of the church, and a defeat of the noted college president by a plain small church Presbyterian preacher, was the election of the Rev. Dr. James M. Barkley of Detroit as the moderator of the one hundred and twenty-first general assembly of the Presbyterian church of the United States in session at the Central Presbyterian church Thursday afternoon. The choice was made after one of the most exciting fights in the history of the assembly, on the third ballot, Dr. E. P. Hill of Chicago and Dr. W. L. McEwan of Pittsburg were the opposing candidates. The election of Dr. Barkley was virtually a stampede caused by the nominating speech of Dr. John McDowell of Newark, N. J., who appealed to the rank and file of the assembly to support a plain preacher for the office of moderator instead of a prominent educator or big church divine as has been the custom to a great extent in the past. Dr. E. P. Hill of Chicago, the president of the Chicago Theological seminary, gave Doctor Barkley a close run and polled a number of votes that surprised the most sanguine of his admirers. The nominating speech of Dr. J. A. Vance of Chicago, and the seconding of the nomination by the venerable Dr. Robert McKenzie of New York, who withdrew from the race for the position in order to support Doctor Hill, were undoubtedly responsible in a measure for the large vote. Dr. W. L. McEwan of Pittsburg, who was conceded the place by many of the supporters of both of the other candidates, failed to show the strength with which he was credited and in spite of the well organized political backing and influence behind him, he gave up the race and withdrew after the second ballot. Most of his supporters then threw their strength to Doctor Barkley. Following is a program of the next few days' sessions: Saturday, May 22. 9:00 a. m.—Devotional services. 9:30 a. m.—Miscellaneous business. 10:00 a. m.—Report of the standing committee on ministerial relief. 11:30 a. m.—Report of Presbyterian brotherhood. 2:00 p. m.—Visit to Westminster college. 8:00 p. m.—Popular meeting for men only in behalf of the brotherhood movement in Central Presbyterian church. 8:00 p. m.—Popular meeting in behalf of evangelistic work in Trinity M. E. church. Sabbath, May 23. 11:30 a. m.—Sermon by the new moderator at the Central Presbyterian church. 2:30 p. m.—Sunday school missionary parade from First Baptist church, Eighteenth and Stout, to Central Presbyterian church. 8:00 p. m.-Popular meeting in the interest of Sabbath observance at First United Presbyterian church, Lincoln and Fourteenth Monday. May 24. Answer This Question When thousands of women say that they have been cured of their ailments by a certain remedy, does this not prove the merit of that remedy? Thousands of women have written the story of their suffering, and have told how they were freed from it by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound — for thirty years these reports have been published all over America. Without great merit this medicine could never have gained the largest sale of any remedy for woman's ills — never could have become known and prized in nearly every country in the world. Can any woman let prejudice stand between her and that which will restore her health? If you believe those who have tried it you know this medicine does cure. Read this letter from a grateful woman, then make up your mind to give Mrs. Pinkham's medicine a chance to cure you. Brooklyn, N. Y.—“I am a firm believer in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I was a great sufferer from organic female troubles for years, and almost despaired of ever being well again. I had bearing-down pains, backache, headache and pains in my abdomen, and tried Mrs. Pinkham's Compound as a last resort. The result was astonishing, and I have used it and advocated it ever since. It is a great boon to expectant mothers. I have often said that I should like to have its merits thrown on the sky with a search-light so that women would read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their sufferings. “My husband joins me in its praise. He has used it for kidney trouble and been entirely cured.”—Mrs. E. A. Bishop, 1915 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health free of charge.

Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take it internally, and sets directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians for years and is a regular prescription. It is compounded with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in cure of the disease for testimonials, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, O. Sold by J.
