Political issues have decidedly changed within the past few years. All classes of citizens seem to realize it except the Negro. He still votes under the influence of 1863 and the abolition of slavery. Our people are apparently standing with their mack to the future, gazing in rapture at the fast-declining rays of a setting sun. The principles and isms of our early freedom have long since become history. New questions of public policy occupy the stage and we must face about and understand them. Over at Washington just now the spectacle of the House and Senate endeavoring to "revise the tariff downward" so as to take the wind out of Democratic sails, and yet keep it high enough to satisfy "the interests" and protect American Labor. And this is the kernel of the nut. In this "protection to American Labor" the Negro has no lot or interest. The colored orators sent out by the party bosses still tell the dolorous story of emancipation and Democratic hypocrisy. If it were possible to eliminate a few discredited fire eaters from the Democratic party, the best-trained Negro with a microscope could not find the line of difference between the two old parties on the race question. The race question only crops out, like the convenient ghost of the Witch of Endor, when called forth. The trust, the tariff and American labor is the absorbing topic at present and it behooves the Afro-American orators to get busy along these lines. The great struggle of tomorrow will be between labor, organized and unorganized, on the one hand, and combined capital on the other. A few years ago the world roared with laughter when Ignatius Donnelly in his "Cæsar's Column" drew the dismal picture of the coming struggle. But those who have followed the trend of events can see the shadow of coming trouble. Where will the Negro be in the struggle? ORGANIZED LABOR AND THE NEGRO. The struggle between labor and capital has been of long standing. Organized labor is centuries old. In its inception it knew no race; no creed; no nothing, but the betterment of the laboring class. In this day organized labor is for the uplift of the workingman, and has done much to make his arduous conditions more bearable. But it is no longer the all-inclusive organization of yore. It is for the laboring man—but more especially the white man. It is notorious that almost every labor union bars the Negro, and meagre are his chances for a place as an apprentice. The union secures better hours, better wages, and strives to raise the standard of workmanship. To all these benefits the Negro is excluded. We know much of labor unions in the West. Out here almost every form of labor is organized and then federated. And from these unions, except hod-carriers, the Negro is barred. The Negro is a strong, sturdy laborer, possessing exceptional mental capacity and physical energy and endurance. Without the careful training of an apprenticeship, when given a chance, he soon acquires remarkable technical knowledge of any trade. The great mass of the Negroes are laborers. They are a very potential factor in the labor market. Where will they be in the coming struggle? Excluded from the unions, and hounded by the petty, spiteful hatred of ignorant labor claecquers, will they stand shoulder to shoulder with those "who toil in the heat of the day," or will they be forced to those "who toil not, neither do they spin"? IGNORANT PREJUDICE. Elsewhere on this page we reproduce an editorial comment from the Miners' Magazine relating to the very recent decision of the Georgia Board of Arbitration in the case of railroads employing Negro firemen. It is a splendid rebuke to the carping prejudice of the labor union and a strong appeal to the manhood of the nation. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen of Georgia protested against the employment of the Negro, and the railroad companies checked the question up to the State Board of Arbitration, and the board decided in favor of the Negro. And the howl goes on. If the labor unions of the nation were honest in their expressed desire to help the struggling laborer, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1909. ORIGINAL IN FOOD CONDITION State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House tronizing The RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, they would demand and insist on the Negro firemen being paid the scale. Over in Wyoming a short time ago a Japanese construction company secured the contract for building the waterworks system. The vision of several thousand Japs flinging dirt and taking in the equivalent roused the ire of the "laboring classes" and a strong protest against the winners of the contract was made. Canada has removed some of the restrictions on Chinese immigration and the conditions confronting the clans of organized labor become daily more complex. And, where will the Negro be in the coming struggle? He's rising! INTELLIGENT UNDERSTANDING. An intelligent understanding of current questions is what our people need. They must turn from the contemplation of the sad-faced martyr and grapple with the present. The Negro must know the causes of financial depression, and have a full knowledge of his relation to labor. He must know these things not as a beautiful theory, but as hard facts. And knowing these things he must place his ballot and his moral influence where it will do the most good. The getting of wealth alone will not solve the problem. We must get ALL that goes to make a people. The lawyers, the teachers, the editors and orators must bring these things clearly before the masses of our people. Race hatred will pass away when both sides can see and intelligently understand the relation they bear to each other. Labor cannot succeed without giving a square, fair deal to ALL the laboring elements. So long as present conditions prevail the efforts of organized labor will be neutralized by the laboring element outside the order. The Negro, as well as any other class, will be forced to stand with his friends. Let us labor to eliminate race hatred in the labor world. RACE HATRED MUST BE STRANGLED The Arbitration Board has practically settled the strike of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen in Georgia, and it is needless to say that the railroad company got the best of the settlement. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen made a serious mistake when the organization raised the barriers against the black man, thereby bringing about a race war which could only end in an advantage to the exploiter. The black man filled the position of fireman for one dollar less per day than the white man, and the Brotherhood permitted this injustice to be met out to a race that is struggling against all the prejudices born of the centuries. The smaller parasite in commercial circles in Georgia was in sympathy with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen in the fight against the Negro, not because the parasite was in sympathy with the labor movement but because of a race hatred, and because the dollar less per day paid to the Negro fireman forced him to economize on the necessities of life. The parasite of the South realized that the white man with a salary of $30 per month above that of his black brother was a more valuable customer and his patronage was more to be desired than the patronage of the miserable wretch who, on account of his color and the hatred against him, was forced to accept in silence one dollar per day less than the white fireman, regardless of the fact that this colored slave of the Georgia Railway Company performed the same service. Had the Brotherhood of Railway Firemen of Georgia been permeated with a spirit of justice and had the membership of the organization a broad grasp of the industrial problem, a battle would have been waged against the Georgia Railway Company until that arrogant corporation recognized the same pay for the same service, whether the service was performed by the Caucasian or the African. If the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen does not reach down its hand to lift the man from below then the man below will drag the Brotherhood to his level, and the railway companies of Georgia and every other state in which the Negro becomes a factor to be reckoned with in the labor market, will give their aid and support in bringing about a condition of almost absolute servitude in the railway service. The labor organizations of today must have a broad foundation, and the doors of unionism must be opened wide to every wage earner, no matter what may be his color or creed, or no matter whether he comes from Southern Europe or the Orient. The time has passed when the white man can afford to lock the doors of the labor organization against the black, brown and yellow races. These races are here, in America, and organized labor must assimilate these races, or else Capitalism will utilize these races to crush unionism wherever possible.—Miners' Magazine. RECORDER DANCY'S OFFICE BREAKS RECORD IN SEVERAL INSTANCES. Washington, D. C., July 6. The fiscal year which has just closed was, according to a statement made a few days ago by Recorder of Deeds Dancy, a recordbreaker in several instances. In the first place, just 1,435 more instruments, exclusive of incorporation papers, were filed for record than in any previous year in the history of that office, 22,922 such instruments being filed, as against 21,487 for the fiscal year of 1906, the previous largest year. In the month just closed 2,478 instruments other than incorporation papers were recorded, the previous largest month being April of this year, when 2,254 were filed June beating the monthly record by 224 instruments. In receipts the year was also another record-breaker, these amounting to $39,713.77, larger by $3,711.47 than in 1907, the previous largest year, and greater by $4,810.92 than in 1908. The unexpected balance for the year was $10,936.67, another record-breaker, that amount exceeding the balance at the close of 1907 the largest up to that time, by $1,191.83, and exceeding the balance turned in last year by $3,065.45. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES New Haven, Conn., July 6.—Among the graduates who received diplomas at Yale last week were Jefferson Ish of Little Rock, Ark., and Phillip Thorne, Jr., of Charleston S. C. St. Louis, Mo., June 28.—Dr. W. H. Mansifee has been appointed physician for the colored public schools here by the Board of Education. Dr. Mansifee's appointment appears to be a popular one. Bear in mind, Mississippi gets a whole day at the Business Men's League at Louisville, Ky. That's what comes of being real smart. The diligent are always rewarded. Booker T. Washington is the schoolmaster in the instance. Kansas City was lucky in that it was chosnn as the meeting place of the next A. M. E. Quadrennial Conference by the Council of Bishops of that church. It is thought that in a money way the conference will mean $50,000 to that city. Bert A. Williams always seems to be about a mile ahead of the song-singing comedian of these days. Moreover, he produces the sort of compositions that no other performers is able to get hold cf. Every song seems to be filled with home-spun philosophy, and a strange, sweet melody all his own. His latest song hit is "That's a-Plenty." The Liberal party of Cuba is on the eve of a most disturbing split because their leader, Senor Del Gado, the Negro president of the Senate, was turned down as the choice for head of the National NO. 44 lottery. There should be no such national graft, but in case there is the division should be liberal. Governor Gilchrist of Florida, the Independence Day orator at Tammany Hall declared that President Taft's plans to break the solid South would fail because of the race problem. Either the Governor mistakes the "spirit of 1776" or the President mistakes the present spirit of the South. Atlanta, Ga., July 5.—During the taking of testimony in the Georgia Railroad strike, W. K. Smith, general superintendent of the Atlanta Coast Line Railroad stated that Negroes did not have sufficient presence of mind to be good engineers. As firemen, however, he said they are both intelligent and capable. General Manager Thomas K. Scott, of the Georgia Railroad, testified that the Georgia Railroad had no reason to complain of the services of the Negro firemen in its employ, some of whom had served the road faithfully for years. NEW YORK WHITE TEACH ERS OBJECT TO COL- ORED PRINCIPAL New York, July 2.—Twenty teachers—about half the staff at Public School No. 125, in Wooster street, Manhattan have applied for transfers, owing to the assignment by the Board of Education of William L. Bulkley as head of the school. Bulkley is classified by race as a Negro, but in appearance is said to be almost white. The school is known as a part time school, owing to its overcrowded condition, and there is said to be fewer than 50 Negro children in it. Most of the pupils are of Italian parentage. Buckley has been for several years a public school principal in New York, and has had charge of a night school also. Industrial training is said to be a sort of hobby with him. A vacancy occurred in the Wooster street school through the transfer of the principal. Then, on the eve of the summer vacation, came the announcement that a Negro principal had been sent there. Some of the teachers were up in arms at once. They held a meeting to decide on a course of action. Various plans were proposed, but they were told they had a right to apply for transfers, and 20 of them ost no time in doing so. Bulkley dropped around to look over his new charges just before school closed. It is said the feeling of good will be expressed for the teachers did not have a very enthusiastic effect and no resolutions of regret were passed after he went away. He sailed for Europe Wednesday on his annual vacation. Miss M. Cowden Hair Dressing Parlor. Shampoo, cutting and curling Scalp treatment, hair tonics, hair straightening, manicuring.

RECIPE FOR BREAD HINTS THAT MAY BE VALUABLE TO YOUNG HOUSEKEEPERS. Of Course Older Matrons All Have Their Own Way of Doing It, But They May Find Something New Here. The following is a good recipe for bread; sift eight cupfuls of flour into a basin, add three teaspoonfuls of salt and three teaspoonfuls of sugar. Mix a yeast cake with one teaspoonful of sugar and a cupful of tepid water, and leave in a warm place for a few minutes. It it does not rise, the yeast is unfit to use. Pour it into the center, stir into it a little of the flour, gradually add six cupfuls of warm water about 100 degrees F.; if too hot, it will kill the yeast, which is a living vegetable substance, and which must multiply in the bread. Mix thoroughly with a knife, cover with a clean cloth, place in a moderately warm place, about 75 degrees F.; out of draughts. Leave till the batter is covered with bubbles. Work in three or four cupfuls of flour, cutting and beating it with a knife, turn it out onto a floured baking board, knead it rapidly and firmly for about 15 minutes, adding two heaping tablespoonfuls of lard during the kneading. Butter the basin, lay the dough in it, brush it over with melted butter, cover once more and allow to rise in a warm place until it has expanded to about twice its original size. Turn out onto the baking board, knead for five minutes, and cut the dough into three or four pieces. Make into neat loaves, place into buttered pans, allow to rise once more to fill the pans. Brush over with milk. Bake in a hot oven until ready. To tell if the bread is cooked through, knock it sharply underneath; if it gives out a hollow sound, it is done. When baked, lay the loaves on their sides to let the steam escape. Do not put them in a very cold place, or the steam will condense and make the bread heavy. The Home. Living rooms should be placed in the best positions for sunshine and dry air. Sleeping rooms should always have plenty of sunshine. A bathroom should have one window at least. Stairways and closets ought to have a means of lighting and ventilating. The furnishing of a house is determined by fashion, looks and expense. Dust is disagreeable, irritable and helps breed disease. Small cracks and angles are difficult to clean. Though windows are not primarily for ventilation most houses are dependent on them for it. Baked Bananas. Pull down a section of skin from each banana, loosen the pulp from the skin, remove all coarse threads that adhere to the pulp and return the pulp to the skin in its original position; lay the fruit thus prepared in an agate pan and bake in a hot oven until the skins are blackened and the pulp is softened. Remove pulp from the skin without injury to shape, bend in a half circle and dispose in a serving dish; sprinkle with powdered sugar and fine chopped nuts and serve as a dessert dish; or pour over a Richelieu or a currant jelly sauce and serve as an entree with broiled or roasted meat. Kerguelen, or the Island of Desolation, may be the scene of the next gold rush. Situated midway between the Cape of Good Hope and Australia, it is one of the dreariest and most forbidding spots on the surface of the globe. But the captain of a brig, the Carmen, who spent four months there hunting sea elephants, has made a discovery which may lead to important developments. He picked up a pretty little nugget of gold among the pebbles while walking on the shore. The Carmen has arrived at Melbourne with 150 tons of oil, the product of a couple of thousand sea elephants shot by the captain and his men. They also report the discovery of valuable deposits of coal, which they declare to be excellent fuel. Kerguelen belongs to France by right of discovery.

Denver.—A Durango special to the Republican Thursday night says: Ivan Diggs of Des Moines, i.a., held the lucky number at the land drawing at Ignacio City today which gave him the privilege of the first filing and without hesitation he chose 80 acres six miles from the railroad, almost at the extreme southern end of the 1,600-acre tract being disposed of under the Carey act. Diggs' number was 98. The second person entitled to file was A. E. Kinsley of Liberal, Kan. He had registered for 160 acres and selected a piece near the railroad, and not far from Ignacio City. Ernest L. Kitely was the third man to have his name drawn from the box. There had been 707 registrations and at 6 o'clock tonight, when the drawings closed for the day, about 250 names had been drawn and of this number less than 100 had filed upon their land. The drawings cannot be completed before late tomorrow and possibly not until Saturday. The drawing did not commence until 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. A special train this morning from Durango carried 200 homeseekers and others who went out of curiosity. Other conveyances and the regular train carried as many more, so that there were from 700 to 800 people on the ground. Many of those present held power of attorney for at least a half dozen others. The feeling among the people today was good, nearly all of the dissatisfied ones having left without waiting for the drawing. The drawing was conducted by Messrs. Rich, Donovan and Bisbee of the State Land Board and went off smoothly. Numbers representing the 707 registrations were placed in a box, shaken up and then taken out one at a time. The holders of numbers were each given five minutes in which to make their selections. In case they did not wish to file, they were passed and another number drawn. A feature of the drawing was the absence of any attempt to dispose of chances at a profit, all of those who drew today being satisfied with their selections. There are 400 pieces of land to be disposed of and each person entitled to file selects either 40, 80, 120 or 160 acres, according to the amount of money deposited at the time of registration. The registration fee was $170 for each 40 acres, $10 of which is to go to the government, at the rate of 25 cents an acre, and $4 an acre being the first payment for water. The next payment for water rights will not be required until Jan. 1, 1911, and the time to be given for the total of $46.75 an acre for the land is five years. The Colorado Land & Water Company, in charge of the drawing, is under $37,500 bond to have the irrigating system completed by April 1, 1910. The contract for the work has been let to the firm of Henderson & Loftus, which is under heavy bond, and work is expected to start within a short time, so that the main canal will be completed by December 1 next. Battle With Pittsburg Strikers Pittsburgh.—Seventy-five men, six of whom will die, were wounded in a pitched battle between the constabulary and the strikers of the Pressed Steel Car Company's works at McKee's Rocks, near this city, shortly before noon Wednesday. Sheriff Gumbert has issued a proclamation warning everyone to keep away from the steel company's plant, under penalty of being shot. The battle was precipitated when the mounted constabulary attempted to disperse a party of strikers at O'Donovan's bridge. Insists On Corporation Tax Washington.—That President Taft "stands right where he stood all along," and will insist upon the adoption of the corporation tax amendment, is the substance of a report made to the tariff conference Thursday by Senator Aldrich and Representative Payne. The leaders of the Senate and House were at the White House late last night, having been summoned by the President to explain a persistent rumor that the corporation tax proposition was in danger of being dropped in conference. Wife Testifies Against Thaw White Plains, N. Y.—Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw went on the stand here Thursday and gave damaging testimony against her husband, Harry K. Thaw. It was the strongest point scored so far by the state in its fight to keep Thaw in the asylum for the criminal insane at Matteawan. "Did Harry K. Thaw threaten to take your life?" she was asked directly by Deputy Attorney General Clarke. She answered: "He said: 'When I get out of here I suppose I will have to kill you.'"

The two-year-old son of Samuel Straight, living seven miles northeast of Greeley, fell into the watering trough on the 12th inst., and was drowned. This is the eighth child drowned in Weld county within a month. Early on the morning of the 14th inst. at Trinchera, thirty-five miles southeast of Trinidad, a tornado unroofed the warehouse, blew cars of the C. & S. into the ditch and caused a panic among residents. No one was injured. Edward Maurin, a young ranchman of twenty-three, residing on Capitol Creek, near Aspen, took a dose of strychnine, supposing he was taking salts. He rode to a nearby ranch and died before medical aid could be summoned.

Work is to be commenced at once on the extension of the tracks of the Argentine Central railway from its present terminus, the summit of Mount McCllan, to Gray's Peak, 14.441 feet above sea level. It is believed that the line will be completed by August 20th. Next year a 100-room hotel, an observatory, and a tower will be erected on the summit of Gray's Peak, and tourists will be afforded a view of grandeur embracing 400 miles of snow-capped mountains and level plains. Weld county has approximately 2,000,000 acres of land, and although the settlement of the county has been surprising during the last five years, there still remains open for settlement 502,400 acres. Of this 341,400 acres lie in the country north and east of Grover in what is called the Sterling land district, and the remainder west of this territory in the Denver land district. Year by year new acreage is brought under cultivation previously supposed unirrigable, and it is believed that three-fourths of the land now open will be cultivated. At the closing session of the Colorado Dental Association at Colorado Springs, Denver was selected for the next annual meeting, which will be held July 19 to 22, 1910, in connection with the convention of the National Dental Association to be held in Denver at that time.

PUEBLO COUNTY NEXT DOLORES AND HINSDALE COUNTIES MAKE SMALL SHOWING IN REPORT. Denver. — Apportionment of the school fund among the various counties of the state, as determined by population, has been completed, and Mrs. Katherine Cook, state superintendent of public instruction, in accordance with the recent school census. The city and county of Denver comes first in school population, containing 53,790 children of school age, which is a little more than one-fourth of the whole number in Colorado. Pueblo county comes next with 14,714, followed by El Paso, 12,328; Weld, 10,551; Las Animas, 9,289; Boulder, 9,059; Larimer, 8,024; Otero, 5,779 and Mesa, 5,559. Dolores county is at the foot of the list with 152 of school age, while Hinsdale shows but 154. The census and apportionment are as follows: Killed by Lightning. Denver.—An Aspen dispatch Wednesday night says: Ray Light, the eighteen-year-old son of Hon. Fred Light of this city, was struck by lightning last night at the family's summer home on Sopris creek, eighteen miles from here, and instantly killed. Three sisters were rendered unconscious by the bolt, and one of them, Helen, aged ten, is not expected to live. A heavy storm came up about 8 o'clock in the evening, and Ray, with his four sisters, went into the cellar near the house, the rest of the family staying in the house. The lightning struck a farm implement near the house and from it glanced off in several directions, one bolt passing into the cellar and another breaking several window lights of the house. Another brother started to the door to see if the house was on fire and met a sister coming from the cellar who cried that Ray and her three other sisters had been killed. The news of the accident did not reach here until this morning. Mr. Light, a former state representative, is one of the best known cattle raisers in this section. The storm last night was the most severe in years and the lightning the most vivid ever known in Pitkin county. Twice within ten minutes the lightning struck the Light ranch. The Colorado Dental Association att its convention in Colorado Springs elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Dr. W. A. Brierley of Denver, former vice president of the associa ion; vice president, Dr. F. S. McKay, Colorado Springs; treasurer, Dr. William Smedley, Denver; secretary, Dr. C. A. Monroe, Boulder.

Of course with the sexes on a footing of equality as regarded opportunity, it would not be long until a female Cromwell made her appearance, and, having made her appearance, was getting her portrait painted. The painter, once more a fawning, courtly fellow, would have the picture a flattery; but she rebuked him in words that became historic! "Paint in the hips!" she commanded, sternly, showing that she could be more rigidly devoted to the truth than Oliver himself.—Puck. Hospitals a Benefit to Property The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has recently concluded an investigation, which shows that 67.5 per cent. of the tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals of the United States have been a benefit to the property and health of the communities in which they are located. In the case of more than 62 per cent. of the sanatoria the presence of the institutions has helped to increase the assessed value of surrounding property. Another Step Needed.

Camden, N.J.-'It is with pleasure that I add my testimonial to your already long list—hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of this valuable medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered from terrible headaches, pain in my back and right side, was tired and nervous, and so weak I could hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound restored me to health this valuable medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered from terrible headaches, pain in my back and right side, was tired and nervous, and so weak I could hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound restored me to health and made me feel like a new person, and it shall always have my praise." —Mrs. W. P. VALENTINE, 902 Lincoln Avenue, Camden, N. J. 'Gardiner, Me. —"I was a great sufferer from a female disease. The doctor said I would have to go to the hospital for an operation, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound completely cured me in three months." —Mrs. S. A. WILLIAMS, R. F. D. No. 14, Box 39, Gardiner Me. Because your case is a difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pirkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as inflammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and nervous prostration. It costs but a trifle to try it, and the result is worth millions to many suffering women. THE NATIONAL CAPITOL AT NIGHT.

Great Steel Cavern Which Will Hold $500,000,000 Completed—Reached by Electric Elevator—Wound with 17 Miles of Wire. Washington.—Tourists rarely will see one of the most imposing of the new sights in Washington—the great steel vault in the Treasury building, where the $500,000,000 of emergency currency will be stored. This vault, which was begun under the administration of Assistant Secretary Louis A. Coolidge and is an accomplishment of which he properly is very proud, is completed and in working order, except that the telephone connection was inadvertently omitted. It is in the northwest corner of the building, directly under the office of the division of issue and its roof is 25 feet below the surface of the street and five feet below the sub-basement of the Treasury building. In fact, it is almost under the foundation stones of the building itself, for they protrude into the vault on the south side and form a convenient shelf, which the clerks find useful as a temporary receptacle for packages which they are assembling to take upstairs. The vault is reached only by an electric elevator which opens only into the office of the chief of the division of issue. It is wholly of steel and about 55 feet long by 20 feet wide and 18 feet high, and is divided into two stories. The second story has a grated floor, like that of a marine engine-room, and both floors are fitted with stacks much like those in use in public libraries. There is nothing uncanny and little that is awe-inspiring in the first glimpse of this great treasure-house, the greatest in the United States and one of the most important in the world. The vault is as light as day and the cool air is drawn down by a powerful fan, which delivers it through a score or more tiny apertures, like slits in a letter box, in all parts of the room. The new vault is used for reserve stores only; the money is actually issued from the old vault, opening out from the office of the division of issue, four flights up. Seventeen miles of fine wire are wound around this steel cavern and the slightest disturbance of any one of these tiny wires, the like of which you see in the glass door, would sound a bell in the main office of the Western Union Telegraph Company, in F street, and in a jiffy the department would be notified. During the hours when the vault is officially open, this signal would be disconnected or disregarded, but the moment the vault is closed the Western Union by contract with the government fixes sleepless eyes upon the signal boxes. Dickinson Warned in Time. Washington.—Secretary of War Jacob M. Dickinson narrowly escaped recently from usurping one of the prerogatives of congress. Having been pestered daily for ten days by newspaper men who wished to know the contents of the engineers' report on the Chicago-to-the-Gulf waterway, the secretary took enough interest to promise the newspaper men that he would provide them with excerpts of the report the day before it went to congress. Then it occurred to one of the reporters that the genial secretary would find himself in hot water on capitol hill if he anticipated a document demanded by a resolution of congress, and he called the secretary's attention to this fact. "Well, you fellows will have to steer me straight about these matters," said the secretary. "I hope to find out how things are done here if I stay long enough." Teeth Were Against Him. Senator Curtis of Kansas, has a dentist constituent who wished to enter the dental corps of the navy.

SENATOR M'ENERY POLITE. Why He "Listened" So Attentively to Aldrich's Speech—Story of the Sympathetic Creole. Washington—Senator McEnery of Louisiana, is rather hard of hearing, but is very polite. He tenaciously held his seat in the senate chamber while Senator Aldrich delivered a speech. "I noticed you listened to Senator Aldrich very attentively," said a friend, after adjournment. "How's that?" demanded Senator McEnery. "You paid a great deal of attention to Senator Aldrich's speech!" bawled the friend. Senator McEnery grinned. "That reminds me of the story of the Creole down in Louisiana," Senator McEnery said. "He met a northern man named Brown in the hotel, Brown was ill. My Creole friend sympathized with him and when he left Brown when he felt better to send around to his house and get his horse and carriage for a drive. "In a few days Brown had recovered. He sent a boy around for the Creole's rig. 'Why, I haven't any horse or carriage,' said the Creole. 'But you told Mr. Brown to send around for them when he got well enough to drive out,' protested the boy. "Oh, hell, that was politeness!" responded my Creole friend. "The truth is, I didn't hear a word of Aldrich's speech." Ways of the Correspondent. Washington—A newspaper correspondent received a tip that the interior department had in its possession a report on the Mexican oil fields which contained some interesting information of particular value in view of the movement to get a duty on petroleum. He went to the officials of the department and tried to get a look at the report, but it was denied him. He verified the existence of the report, but could get no definite idea of its contents. He then went to Senator Cummins of Iowa and told him about the report, suggesting that if the senate made a demand upon the secretary of the interior for it doubtless the demand would be complied with. Mr. Cummins himself admitted a curiosity to know what was in the report and so he introduced and had passed a resolution calling upon the secretary of the interior for a copy of the document. In this manner the way was opened for the news item which the officials had denied the correspondent. Died Some Time Ago. Washington. — Congressman "Ned" Taylor of Ohio was accosted in the rotunda of the capitol by a stranger the other day while the services in honor of Maj. Pierre Charles I'Enfant, the French engineer who designed the national capital, were in progress. "What is all the excitement about?" asked the stranger, nodding his head in the direction of the crowd surrounding the catafalque. "Maj. I'Enfant is dead," almost whispered the congressman, as he removed his hat impressively. "Is that so? Well, I am certainly sorry to hear it," replied the stranger, who also removed his hat in sorrowful reverence. "When did he die? "I think it was in 1825, but I'm not sure about the date," was the reply of the congressman. Ban Placed on Roosters. Washington.—Here is a genuine suffragette victory and right in the capital of the nation! Roosters may no longer be kept in the District of Columbia. This is the principal burden of the new "chicken" regulations promulgated the other day by the health department of the district. The rules specify under what conditions chickens may be kept, stipulating just what care must be given the chicken houses and yards. But the gem of this series of "chicken regulations" is the following: "VI. No roosters may be kept on the premises." A fine of from $2 to $10 a day is provided for all violations. The police say they are tired of the complaints of citizens who own alarm clocks and don't want to be awakened by cock crow. Hence the rule. Victor Murdock of Kansas began the printer's trade at 10; became a newspaper reporter at 15, and at 20 was a reporter on a Chicago newspaper. DENVER PACKING HOUSE INDUSTRY NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED THOUS SAND CATTLE RECEIVED AT DENVER MARKET. MOSTLY PASS THROUGH GREAT BENEFITS THAT WOULD ACCRUE TO STATE BY SLAUGHTERING THEM IN COLORADO. There were received and weighed at the Denver market in 1908, 395,164 head of cattle. The excess hides from these over and above what were used in the home tannery amounted to 227 cars of green and 44 cars of dry hides shipped to eastern markets to be tanned into leather and reshipped to Colorado in the finished product. It seems logical to conclude that if our home factories in the manufacture of leather goods, such as shoes, harness, trunks, valises, art leather, belts, suspenders, etc., were given preference over the imported articles that it would not be necessary to ship hides to eastern markets to be made into leather. The Denver tannery at present employs fifteen men at an average wage of $2.25 per day. It should be possible to increase this to 150 men with an annual payroll disbursement of $102,163. Denver and Colorado packers are rapidly increasing their distributive territory and a brief history of this great commercial factor may prove interesting. The packing industry in Denver was commenced in the year 1872, at which time the firm of Hoffer Brothers established a small plant in this city. In 1876 the plant was taken over by Walters, Alcher and Walters, and a short time afterwards this plant was in turn taken over by the Standard Meat and Live Stock Company, and by them operated to the present day. In 1882 Smith Brothers of Denver built a small plant near the present stock yards for the purpose of killing hogs and carried on a considerable business of this character and afterwards incorporated the slaughtering of cattle and sheep. This plant is now owned and operated as the Denver Packing and Provision Company. In 1885 Burkhardt Brothers opened a small plant of their own. In 1888 the first of the large plants was inaugurated under the name and style of the Colorado Packing and Provision Company. Mr. Henry Gebhardt established this plant and operated it until a year ago, when he turned the management over to his son Charles. In 1894 Smith and Brothers opened another small plant, which is still in operation. In 1903 the largest plant of them all, the Western Packing Company, was capitalized and managed by Denver capital and men, Mr. Claude Boettcher being the active working manager of this plant, which has grown to magnificent proportions. In 1903 the Coffin Packing & Provision Company also opened up a very successful slaughtering and packing business, which is under the management of W. N. W. Blayney, president. This makes in all six packing plants located at the stock yards. The aggregate number of employees in these six plants is about 1,700 men. The average wage, about $3.00 per day. Say that 1,500 of these men are heads of families, with an average family of four, one can arrive at the figure that they represent in the population of the city. The following statistics show the receipts of live stock at the Denver Union Stock Yards in 1908, and the number slaughtered by Colorado packing plants. The balance were shipped to eastern markets to be handled through the packing houses at St. Louis and Chicago and reshipped to Colorado in the finished product: Total number of cars received—18,675. There are, as stated above, six packing and slaughtering plants at the stock yards with a capacity to handle three times the quantity that is slaughtered here at the present time, and Colorado packers are ready to enlarge their plants and increase their capacity for supplying the demand as rapidly as necessity requires, and Colorado people are the market channel that they depend on for distribution to maintain and increase the prosperity of the packing house industry in our home state. The purchase of food products depend largely upon the lady of the house, and her cooperation is earnestly solicited in alding the Colorado Manufacturer's Association in their campaign for greater loyalty to Colorado made goods. Another matter for consideration. There is annually shipped into Colorado 16,000,000 pounds or 800 carloads of packing house products. Think what it would mean if our Colorado institutions could have this amount added to their output. As stated before, an increase in the production necessitates a corresponding increase in number of employees, which adds to the payrolls for distribution at home. The quality of hogs slaughtered in Colorado is equal if not superior to any slaughtered in the United States. Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska being our source of supply, the pigs are raised on alfalfa and fattened on corn, giving a fine grain to the meat. The meat is more firm and better grade than that of hogs raised further east. The same is true of western fed beef. In fact, Colorado produces the equal in grades of beef, veal, pork and mutton of any country in the world. The question of cattle feeding is also one that will have to be taken up by the live stock men and farmers of this section.

With a desire to meet the wants of the people, and to place before the reading public, more advantageously than here-tofore, the salient facts of our people's progress, both here and elsewhere, this paper will be sold by newsboys on the streets every Saturday. In addition, we shall place our paper in all the hotels and public places, that ALL may have an opportunity to know the good things our people are doing as well as the bad. It is notorious that our daily papers find little space for ought but the criminal conduct. Their pages teem with the reports of brawls, gambling raids, and such as serves to inflame the public mind. The Colorado Statesman believes that the truth about our people should be known. That the whole people should know of the material, mental, and moral progress, we are constantly making. This movement is not launched because it is expected to be a financial success, but because we feel it our bounden duty to do all within our power to help lighten "the black man's burden." In this work, we ask for, and hope to receive the honest and hearty support of the best men and women of both races. Let us ALL work together to put the best work of our people before the public mind, to the obscuring of the criminal. To help in this work is your duty as well as ours.

There is no limit to the career of an author gifted with a sense of humor, who knows how to observe people and things. The stage wants types, character, novelty. It is crying for the man with the gift of observation to arrange these elements into an entertaining and consistent story. Of course what I shall have to say concerns comedy. I leave tragedy to those whose nature doesn't yearn for a laugh. If you would write for the theater of that great multitude which seeks relaxation from the sterner and the humdrum, go out into the highways and the sea. our conductors, cabmen, chauffeurs, bricklayers, tramps. And don't forget that every play must have the love of feminine.

The sense of humor above because what might appear tragic to the participant in the may be made ludicrous on the stage by a touch of sorrow you have created your types it is often a most difficult men and women to portray them on the stage. Again an experience, I once took the scrubwoman of the theater of a scrubwoman on the stage.

To sum up: If you would write for the stage, observe, acquire a sense of proportion, and, above all, don't forget the necessary sense of humor. The questions were debated extensively.

RICHARD CARL Wages of Men and Women By P. A. CONRADI Airships Tend to Promote Peace By K. LUDWIG RAU Gift of Observation Necessary For Success Several gatherings of workingwomen in France and Germany recently argued the old question of the difference in the wages paid to women and men who do the same kind of work. If the lesser and local issues, of local importance only, are eliminated, these questions of international interest remain: 1. Is the existing difference in wages of male and female workers justified by the difference in the working ability of the two sexes? 2. If a difference in working ability exists, what gives occasion for it? The advent of the airship sounds the death knell of war. Airships constructed on the most advanced and scientific lines and fitted out with the death-dealing explosive of war, soaring over the cities, fortresses and battleships of the enemy, can put all of them out of action within a comparatively short time without exposing themselves to great harm or danger. There is scarcely any protection from airships, and it is for that reason that war must come to an end. Nations will recognize the futility of going to war, knowing that death-dealing invulnerable airships have it S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. OPP.

McMAHAN'S PRESCRIPTION PHARMACY WASHINGTON GOSSIP Miscellaneous Account of the Senate New Successful White House Hostess Belmonts to Dazzle National Capital WASHINGTON.—If you want to read an official fairy tale in figures of the nation's commercial progress get a copy of the latest bunch of postoffice statistics, just issued by A. L. Lawshe, the third assistant postmaster general. How he got all the figures on one page is still a mystery, but he certainly succeeded in piling up enough millions and billions to make any one's head swim. Counting postage stamps must be a lot like counting the grains of sand at the sea. At any rate, these careful counters of Uncle Sam's postoffice department have found out that last year the department issued 7,651,400,405 of the little sticky things. An overheated figurer, who doesn't work for the postoffice department, figured out that if these little squares of paper were placed end to end they would run a couple of thousand feet over 120,760 miles. A footnote to the statistics shows that Uncle Sam didn't begin printing postage stamps until July 1, 1847. The first year he succeeded in putting 800,380 on the market. Last year he issued 9,500 times that many—a fairly decent increase in the postoffice business in fifty-two years. The biggest figure on the page is the one that designates the number of pieces THE United States senate—pay, maintenance, odds and ends—costs about $2,000,000 a year. To be exact, the amount was $1,859,189.77, according to the last report rendered by Charles G. Bennett, secretary of the senate. The latter sum figures to $19,500 each per each of 92 senators. The money goes for a thousand and one things that classify between salaries and snuff. Compensation and mileage of senators, notably the mileage, requires a tidy sum. Pages, messengers, special police, clerks, private secretaries, minor senate officers, the senatorial army of retainers use up another large lump. Repairs, new furniture, the senate library, the senate stable, stationery and newspapers, the expense accounts of senate emissaries, the cost of the upkeep and expense of special committees, reporting senate debates and committee meetings, all form just a few of the other varieties through which the spare change of the senate flows in a steady stream. PRESIDENT TAFT took his family to Beverly recently and left his wife and children there while he returned to Washington to stay out the tariff bill with congress. Mrs. Louise More of Cincinnati, sister of Mrs. Taft, accompanied the family to Beverly and will remain there some time, so as to relieve Mrs. Taft, who has been ill, of as much care as possible. Mrs. More is the wife of Prof. Louis More of the University of Cincinnati. She acted as hostess of the White house since Mrs. Taft suffered a nervous breakdown several weeks ago. She came to Washington with Judge Herron, her father, for a short visit, but when Mrs. Taft SOCIAL PRESTIGE AFRICA MRS. PERRY BELMONT has not abandoned her plan of invading Washington society. The new home of the Belmonts, just completed, which stands in a fashionable section of New Hampshire avenue, will be dedicated to the objects for which it was built and will become the center of social and political interests in the national capital. There was a story that the Belmonts had decided to give up their Washington' venture on account of the obstacles which President Roosevelt put in the way of their social plans. This disposition of President Roosevelt to regulate everything took of mail matter that were mailed in the United States last year. These totaled 13,173,340,329. A large proportion of these consisted of newspapers, for which no stamps are used. But in addition to the stamps which were sold a tiny rifle of 1,266,602,559 stamped envelopes and wrappers was sold by the department. These Uncle Sam began to sell in 1852, when he placed a round 5,000,000 on the market. The figures for the mail handled were begun in 1886, when Uncle Sam carried 3,474,000,000 pieces of mail. The figures have quadrupled in a little more than twenty years. In 1879, when Uncle Sam's postoffice started business with Benjamin Franklin as postmaster general, there were seventy-five postoffices, and in the first year of their operation they did $37,935 worth of business, at an expense of $32,140. Since then the balance has moved to the other side of the ledger, and for the last year the revenues of the department were the pretty little sum of $191,478,633, while the expenditures were $203,351,886. The number of postoffices jumped from 75 to 61,158; the extent of the post routes from 1,875 to 450,738; the miles of mail service performed from a little over 800,000 to 538,438,722, and the compensation of the postmasters from $88,198 to $25,599,397. The most astounding growth was marked by the rural free delivery service. It was begun in 1897, with 83 routes, covering 1,843 miles, at an expense of $14,840. Last year it had grown to 39,143 routes, with 891,432 miles, and costing $34,500,000. Last, but not least, is that elastic account headed as "miscellaneous items." The senate's pin money pays for all the telegrams senators send and the replies. It supplies ice without stint; one month's bill, that for December, having been $248.58. It provides Appolinaris, White Rock and other special waters, Poland Spring being favored because Senator Hale of Maine introduced it years ago. This water has come to possess a traditional standing as the proper thing—of its kind—to slack the senatorial thirst. The miscellany fund buys type-writers and bicycles, horses, wagons. and, maybe, an auto or two, although none are found listed in the classified accounts. No senator was ever seen upon a bicycle. There are bicycle messengers, however, and the senate, being a big-hearted institution, gives the necessary machine. From January 1 to 31, 1908, Ida Bamiley received $122.10 for washing and ironing 407 dozen towels for the senate. In the same month A. L. Ford got $79.80 for washing and ironing 266 dozen towels. During the same 31 days Edith A. Washington profited to the sum of $66.60 for washing and ironing 222 dozen towels.

This made it possible for Mrs. Taft to carry out the remainder of the entertainments which had already been scheduled, and Mrs. More took her place as hostess at several official dinner parties which Mrs. Taft had planned earlier in the season. Mrs. More won admiration by the grace with which she fitted into the position of a White House hostess. Mrs. Tatt's first social season as mistress of the White House was a brilliant success in spite of the nervous trouble which necessitated her withdrawal. Never in the history of generations has there been so much social activity at the White House, and never has society been more diplomatically and pleasantly brought together. Persons who had not been in the White House for many months, and some for several years, were again welcomed and hobnobbed with each other to an extent hard to believe. a remarkable turn in the case of the Belmonts, and Mr. Roosevelt, it is said, asked his cabinet officers and others high in the official scale to stay away from the Belmonts' functions. The first entertainment was a failure because of this taboo. The men came in large numbers and their wives with few exceptions absented themselves. But the Belmonts had already made plans for their new home. They had brought their architect from Paris and incurred much expense. Mrs. Belmont was not daunted. Before long she was entertaining Col. Bromwell, the official major domo of the White House under the Roosevelt regime, and his wife at theater parties, and her field of social conquest was gradually extended until now she is perfectly at home as an entertainer. Next winter on her return from abroad she will throw open her new palace for entertainments that are likely to make her critics sit up.

It Was Their Question. A party of young men were camping, and to avert annoying questions they made it a rule that the one who asked a question that he could not answer himself had to do the cooking. One evening while sitting round the fire, one of the boys asked: "Why is it that a ground squirrel never leaves any dirt at the mouth of its burrow?" They all guessed and mused. So he was asked to answer it himself. "Why," said he, "because they always begin to dig at the other end of the hole." "But," asked one, "how does he get to the other end of the hole?" "Well," was the reply, "that's your question."—Cleveland Leader. Special Round Trip Homeseekers' Rates to New Mexico and Texas.

"For several years my husband was a missionary in the Southwest. Every one in that high and dry atmosphere has more or less trouble with dandruff and my daughter's scalp became so encrusted with it that I was alarmed for fear she would lose all her hair. After trying various remedies, in desperation I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. They left the scalp beautifully clean and free from dandruff, and I am happy to say that the Cuticura Remedies were a complete success. I have also used successfully the Cuticura Remedies for so-called 'milk-crust' on baby's head. Cuticura is a blessing. Mrs. J. A. Darling, 310 Fifth St., Carthage, Ohio, Jan. 20, 1908." Potte. Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston. Time to Change Subject. The Courier-Journal tells of this embarrassing statement made by a well-known Louisville woman who is known as "saying things without thinking." Her daughter was entertaining a young man on the front porch and the mother was standing at the fence talking to the neighbors next door. In the yard of the latter was a baby a little over a year old, and it was trying to walk. "You shouldn't let it walk so young," advised the thoughtless matron. "Wait until it's a little older. I let my daughter walk when she was about that age, and it made her bow-legged." The young man began to talk evergetically about the weather. The Same Old John L. Old John L. Sullivan always had a fine Irish wit, and it remains with him in his advanced age. Not long ago he was appearing in a Baltimore theater and the manager, for business reasons, introduced him to a wealthy youth of the town. The youth was a typical chollyboy, the sort of a specimen that old John abhors. Sullivan was washing his face in the theater dressing room when the two arrived, and they waited patiently until he had finished his ablutions. When John had dried his countenance he gave the dude one look, and then said to the manager: "Well, I congratulate you, Jack, is it a boy or a girl?" Next Best. A certain young minister in Philadelphia, recently ordained, is still very nervous and sometimes his remarks do not convey exactly the meaning he intended. A few Sundays ago he rose, fumbled with the papers on his desk, blushed, and then said: "My Friends: I—I am sorry to say that I have lost the notes for my sermon, and I therefore cannot deliver it. I will have to do the next best thing, therefore, and read a few chapters from the Bible!"—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. ORIGIN Of a Famous Human Food. The story of the great discoveries or inventions is always of interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct, was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words, before he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength. He knew that a food which was a brain and nerve builder (rather than a mere fat maker) was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. It contains the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seen in a marked sturdiness and marked activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavour is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Post, is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape-Nuts. Look in pkgs, for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." "There's a reason."

AFTERNOOON tea on the porch is one of the most pleasant features possible on a summer day, and it is essential that the appointments of the tea table should be in keeping with the shady coolness of the porch. For this cloth, simple designs and materials of a rather rustic texture are the most effective, such as home spun linen, linen huckabuck and crash. is grayish linen with outline stitch in dark old blue, darning in lighter blue, and the lace matching the darker shade. One motif for the border and one half of the corner are given, to be traced on the linen by means of carbon paper and a hard lead pencil. A plain, two-inch hem is put in, with a row of outline stitch five inches above Among the most attractive of the tea cloths are those with the design outlined and the background filled in with darning stitch. Such a one is shown in the sketch. The water lily design is outlined with dark green floss, and the background filled in with a lighter shade of green—a delightfully leafy, silvery shade like June foliage. The material is natural color crash, and the Cluny lace edge is dyed to match the darker green in the embroidery. Another equally pretty color scheme - Blue serge is very useful for costumes of this description. The skirt is quite plain, and is finished at the foot by a single row of stitching. White cloth is used for the collar and cuffs of the semi-fitting coat, which fastens down center of front by three large smoke-pearl buttons. Hat of straw, trimmed with a wreath of flowers and two quills. Materials required: Six yards serge 48 inches wide, one-fourth yard wide cloth, three buttons, four yards lining for coat. Cravat with Double Ends. If you have a strip of brown silk, taffetta or messaline, and a little silk in pretty contrasting color, such as ecu, delicate green or blue, make one of the new cravats with double ends. These are cut like a man's string tie, but with a difference. A perfectly plain bias fold of the silk is used to go round the neck, but where it meets in front each end branches off into two parts, giving four ends in all. These ends are all lined with silk of a contrasting color. The effect when tied is very pretty. The cavat must not be less than a yard in length. is grayish linen with outline stitch in dark old blue, darning in lighter blue, and the lace matching the darker shade. One motif for the border and one-half of the corner are given, to be traced on the linen by means of carbon paper and a hard lead pencil. A plain, two-inch hem is put in, with a row of outline stitch five inches above it, and another row five inches from this, which forms the top of the border. Then the motifs are placed between the two rows, outlined, and the background filled in. The cloth when completed should be one yard square, with a two-inch edge of lace for a finish. It is advisable to use a good grade of floss, so that it will not fade, and in washing it is well to put a good handful of table salt in the water to set the color. The cloth is quickly and easily made, and the result sure to be pleasing. NOVELTY IN HOME AQUARIUM One That Is Made with a Picture Frame Front and Intended to Hang on the Wall. A novelty in balanced or self-sustaining home aquariums is made to hang up on the wall like a picture. The tank is oblong, narrow at the bottom, but wider at the top. The side to go against the wall is vertical, while the front slopes up outward, as a picture hangs, and this outer side is in fact surrounded with a picture frame. The back and ends of this aquarium are inclosed in a metallic holder, with hooks at the top by which it may be hung, and at the back between this metallic holder and the back wall of the glass tank is inserted a picture, a landscape having at the bottom in the foreground a brook. The bottom of the tank is covered with gravel, and set in the water is suitable vegetation sufficient to please the eye and to keep the water aerated, and then of course there are the fishes, and when you have it thus stocked you hang this aquarium up on the wall to have the effect of a picture with fishes swimming around in it. Water. Are you forgetting to drink the proper amount of water every day? Do you drink two glasses before breakfast? You should. But by all that is hygienic do not take your water until your mouth has been rinsed with an antiseptic and your teeth thoroughly cleansed. People who know tell us that an acid forms during the night in the mouth and around the teeth. This acid will decay the teeth, therefore common sense tells us it is not good for the stomach; it certainly should not be washed down there deliberately anyway. But a cold bath for the average stomach is a tonic just as it is for the body. Try it. To Improve the Neck. To fatten the neck massage with warm olive oil. A good cold cream is excellent, but the best results are obtained with the olive oil. To apply this first wash the neck with warm water and a mild, pure soap, then rinse carefully and apply a cloth or flannel wrung out of hot water and folded several times. This compress is kept on until it begins to cool, and then another is supplied, but do not prolong the treatment more than ten minutes. This softens the skin and opens the pores. The oil, slightly warmed, should be rubbed in, giving especial attention to the hollows, which should be massaged with a firm rotary motion Washington, D.
