VOL. XV. A THRIVE CHEYENNE WYOMING ON FOUR PROVEMENTS IN FOUR CAVALRY. NEGRO O RACE'S BUSINESS FRONTIER DAY. After an absence of four years the Colorado Statesman representative visited Cheyenne, Wyo. Years ago when we were there the town was a lusty infant, up to the brim with promises of future growth and importance. The lapse of time has fulfilled our expectations and we found a city full of the western spirit and energy. Miles of paved streets, thousands of beautiful private residences set on handsomely kept lawns, solid blocks of modern business buildings bear testimony of the commercial greatness of the city and the prosperity of its citizens. In the days long gone very few Negroes tempted Fate in the Wyoming metropolis, but times have changed and herewith human flotsam from the remote corners of the world, the increasing number of the sons and daughters of Ham are finding something to do and are doing it with a hearty good will. Cheyenne citizens were wild last week. It was frontier day and the town turned back to the days when the wild west, with its broncho busters, steer roping, and the many things now a memory. There was an immense crowd to see the doings of the soldiers, the cowboys and women, who put on riding and roping features calculated to raise the hair of the uninitiated. It was enough to swell every Negroe's heart with pride to note the appreciation and admiration of the vast throng for the soldier boys of the Ninth cavalry. They rode with the finished ease and grace of the trained soldier, performing feats of horsemanship with their horses going at a mad gallop, unequalled by the much advertised Cossack. The riding of the colored boys and the cowboys presented a lively contest and a sharp contrast. The latter rode with the slaven recklessness of the untrained rider, allowing his horse to stand on his head or heels. The press and the public were alike generous in their praises of the various events. THE NINTH CAVALRY. To visit Cheyenne, with a trip to Fort Russell at this time, would be a great blunder. Fort Russell is one of the most beautiful military reservations in the land. Here in the edge of Cheyenne, nature lavishly displayed extraordinary scenic beauty. To this hand of man has added and embellished until the scene beggars description. Long rows of tastfully designed barracks afford ample and comodious accommodations for the soldier boys. These barracks are modern in every respect. To the courtesy and kindness of commissary Sergeant Richard Porter of the Ninth, we were shown through the substantially and elegantly equipped billiard rooms, library and reading rooms, mess rooms and sleeping rooms. Here neatness and cleanliness reigned supreme. Sergeant Porter is a very capable soldier enjoying the confidence and esteem of all his superiors as well as fellow privates. The discipline of this famous regiment of Negro soldiers shows a marked change for the better. Here are encamped companies A to M, and the comings and goings of the soldiers has caused nothing but praise. Much of this is due to the high standard of intelligence of the private soldier as well as the ever watchful care of Captain Young and Chaplain G. W. Prioleau. Both are soldiers, splendidly equipped for their work, and their unselfish interest in the men under their charge has worked wonders. Through them their men enjoy a larger latitude of freedom with less infraction of military and civil laws. This regiment has just returned from service in the Philippine Islands where their gallant conduct won for them merited praise. Their location at Fort Russell is due to the labors and influence of Senator Warren of Wyoming, a strong and sleepless friend of our people. Long may the boys live to protect this land of the free. GETTING THE GOODS: In a business way our people are "getting the goods" at Cheyenne. They have two nice churches, the A. M. E. and the Baptist. Both have thriving congregations who are contributing to the moral improvement of the city. The Davis hotel has a prosperous business. For the past twenty-five years H. C. Jefferson has been a resident of Cheyenne. During these years he has labored and saved. Actively DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, engaged in the real estate business he enjoys the income from some splendid properties. He is one of the solid men of the town. Chaplain Prioleau has beautiful quarters at Fort Russell where it was our pleasure to be entertained. It was a treat. Cheyenne is growing and so are all our people. Just keep working and saving looking ever for the salvation of the Lord. THE NEGRO BUSINESS MAN Booker Washington is the best qualified exponent of the theory that the Negro must have work and that the South must give it to him. Those who face that situation fairly and squarley, who recognize that the work must include the higher classes of labor no less than the field and the household, will best appreciate the value of the industrial education first attempted at Hampton by Gen Armstrong, and later carried on by Louisville's guest at Tuskegee. And, as they realize that only by giving the intelligent Negro all the chance he needs, only by making of him a busy and thrifty breadwinner, arousing in him a proper sense of responsibility, can many economic problems be solyed, so will the debt of gratitude be more cordially recognized and acknowledged. Said Gov. MacCorkle, of West Virginia: "What the South wishes is to have the Negro educated thoroughly in body, soul and mind. Let him become a useful farmer; let an effort be made to make him a useful artisan; let him be taught the social economics of life; how to live cheapest and best, and he will be a builder up of that section and an honor to his race. The new theory of industrial education is a most magnificent one, and I look the next twenty years for a wonderful increase in the character, standing, and well-being of the Negro derived this common sense method of teaching." There will not, we apprehend, be much difference of opinion as to soundness of the view so convincingly set forth; certainly little or none here in Kentucky, where the enrollment of colored children in the schools shows a higher percentage than in any other State. And the day foreshadowed has in a measure arrived; is, at all events, fast arriving. It cannot be expected to eventuate all at once, but how considerable a progress has been made can be gathered from the proceedings of the National Negro Business League. Though but ten years old, the value of its earnestness and organization is substantially in evidence; business, and business only, is the subject of its concern, and its propriety and level-headedness are a tribute to its founder, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Here in the South, where industry is developing to an unprecedented extent the Negro business man is welcome.—Courier Journal. NEGROES TO AFRICA. Guturie, Okla., Aug. 12.—Arrangements were completed today for a convention here on October 22 to perfect a state organization to promote the colonization of American Negroes in Africa under the auspices of the Abraham Lincoln African Aid and Colonization Society, recently incorporated here by Capt. W. B. Easton, of Stillwater, and other white citizens of Ckklahoma. On October 28 the Oklahoma Negroes will hold a state meeting at Sapulpa to learn how many desire to accompany the African colony. A colony has been organized at Gano, Ark., composed of several hundred Negroes, who are desirous to know when the first shipment will be made, and another colony of ten Negroes in Southern Oklahoma. A NEGRO ARTIST Chicago, Ill., August 17.—In a recent issue of the Chicago Tribune appeared a painting, the work of a young Negro artist whose name is William E. Scott. The subject of the painting is "Commerce," and is regarded as a remarkable exhibition of artistic gifts. The young artist has been a student in the Lane Technical High School, and also of the Art Institute of Chicago for several years. He will shortly leave for Paris to enter the studio of H. O. Tanner and Wm. Harper, who are both well known in the best art circles. Mr. Scott came from Indianapolis and has worked his way through school by hard work. Twice during his course of study he has won third prize, and this year he was given the "Frederick Magnus Brand" prize for pictorial composition. His pictures may be found in several high schools of this city. His teachers and instructors are very proud of him, and predict for him a splendid career as an artist SUGGESTING AN IMPROVEMENT.

RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Three thousand Negroes from Chicago and 17,000 from the Southern States, making 20,000 in all, is the program for United States Negroes who will join the French army. Atlanta, Ga., August 16.—Gov Brown's pet measure advocating compulsory education in Georgia was defeated in the Legislature last week, due to the speech made by a member who stated that such The fifth annual meeting of the Niagara movement was held at the Gordon Sea View Hotei, Sea Isle City, near Atlantic City, N. J. Aug. 15 to 18. If Bishop H. M. Turner is correct in his figures there are 18,000, 000 Negroes in this country instead of 10,000,000 and that there are born each day 4,600 Negro babies which would make an annual increase of 1,679,000 babies each year. Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 14. Ascertaining after eight years of married life that his wife was a Negress, Alfred Haberman, a white man, after a visit to Washington, D. C., returned today to their home on Summit street and her and himself. Neither can recover. Mrs. Haberman was a beautiful woman and looked like she was white. The couple have a son seven years old. Montgomery, Ala , August, I3— After all, Hobson City, the only exclusive Negro town in the state, and one of the few in the South, has been legislated out of existence. The town is near Oxford and Representative Cooper has been besieged by whites to pass a bill recalling its charter. He failed at the last session, his bill being declared invalid after the legislature adjourned, but this time he has won, and when the governor signs the measure the only colored mayor and alderman in the South must become citizens. Ashville, N. C., Aug. 16.—When George Logan, Negro fireman, saw the private car of George W. Vanderbilt attached to his train, he wrote a note telling Mr. Vanderbilt that his people had sold part of the land bought for Bilmore estate and that he would lose a little home he is buying unless he got $500 quick. The note was received in the car. Later Logan was asked to go to New York and explain matters to George Vanderbilt. He went. He told friends he was notified by the Bilmore estate to call and get the money. NO.50 Atlanta, Ga, August 16.—Gov Brown's pet measure advocating compulsory education in Georgia was defeated in the Legislature last week, due to the speech made by a member who stated that such a law would mean the increased usefulness of the Negro in this state. The view was expressed by the speaker that the passage of a compulsory law would affect Negro children as much as the whites, and that the result would be beneficial to the Negro population and more to the detriment of the whites. Montgomery, Ala., August 16. The first proposed constitutional amendment to be turned down by the Legislature was that of Colonel Sam Will John, providing that Negroes shall not hold office in Alabama. Colonel John declared that he would thus cut off the day when Negroes would become too important in their desire to hold office. He explained to the House Committee on Constitutional Amendment that his amendment did not infringe in any way upon the Federal Constitution of the Bill of Rights. It would not, he said, prevent the Negro from holding on office of trust, but only a public office. The committee, however, refused to report the bill to submit the constitutional amendment to the people, and will report it adversely. There is trouble ahead for the leaders of the Ninth Assembly District where the Negro vote is approximately 1,600 out of the 2,200 enrolled Republicans. The Negroes in the district have made up their minds that they should have a member of their race as leader of the district and a red-hot primary fight is likely this fall. A meeting of Negro voters in the district was held a few days ago and it was agreed to run Dr. P.A. Johnson, of 203 West Thirty-third street, against the organization leader, Michael H. Blake. An executive committee, headed by Attorney Earl L. Lightbourne, has been appointed to conduct the campaign against Blake—New York Age. The scientists at the weather bureau at Washington have declared that there is not such a thing as an "equinoctial storm." If eliminating the title would effect any decrease in the violence of the storms that, according to history, arrive about this time, this decision is to be commended.

THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND OTHER COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROG- RESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN NEWS. At the Los Angeles convention Richmond, Va., was selected as the place for holding the annual convention of the American Pharmaceutical Association in 1910 and the time for holding was set for May 16 to 20. Averell Harriman, son of Edward H. Harriman, has started to learn the railroad business from the ground up. Young Harriman, who is 18 years of age, is carrying the chain in a surveying gang on the Oregon Short Line in Idaho. An organization formed to inculate a new religion based upon astronomy has filed articles of incorporation at San Francisco. The society is known as the Astrologers of the United States, and its purpose is to make known to its members the influence of heavenly bodies upon earthly affairs. Jack Johnson, heavy weight champion of the world, and Al Kaufman of San Francisco, are matched to fight ten rounds at Coffroth's arena in San Francisco on September 9. The men will weigh catchweights and if they are both on their feet at the end of the tenth round no decision will be given. J. O. Milliken, disciplinarian of Haskell institute at Lawrence, Kas, declared to the Associated Press that the story of alleging traffic in Indian girls attending this school is absolutely untrue. Mr. Milliken insisted that there was no basis for any such story. He stated further that there was no thought of asking the federal authorities to make an investigation, as their was nothing to investigate. John Schively state insurance commissioner, on trial for impeachment before the state senate at Olympia Washington admitted that 182 insurance companies from 1905 to 1909 and that each had paid an advance fee of from $100 to $200, making a total that ranged from $18,200 to $36,400, of which no record was ever kept. He said that each sum as it was paid to him was divided equally be tween Sam H. Nichols and himself Nichols at the time being secretary of state and insurance commissioner ex-officio. Miss Glendora Fair, the first white child born in Phillips county, recently made final proof on the quarter section of land on which she was born. This unusual proceeding came about by her parents mistaking the location of their land twenty-three years ago, owing to an inaccuracy in the government survey. The claim was alternately filed upon and abandoned until Miss Fair reached her majority, when she successfully contested it and won her case. In the past two years she has improved and cultivated it with money earned by teaching school. This week she cooked a meal for her threshers, the larger part of the food coming from her own garden and barnyard. Chief Sam Resurrection, one of the subchiefs of the Flathead Indian tribes, was found in a dying condition beside the Northern Pacific railroad tracks near Bonner, Mont. Circumstances surrounding the case cause the officers to entertain the suspicion of foul play. His skull had been fractured as though from a blow with a heavy instrument, and his left wrist was broken. He was unconscious. Chief Resurrection was an important witness against a Missoula saloonman, indicted for subnation of perjury in connection with the sale of liquor to Indians, and was to have appeared before the Federal Court at Helena on September 2nd to testify in the case. GENERAL NEWS. William Jenney, a medical student at the University of Kansas, and formerly of Leland Stanford University, was drowned in the Kansas river at Lawrence while boating. His home was in Sedalia, Kas. A special dispatch from Matehaula, Mexico, says that fifteen miners were killed and thirty entombed by the dropping of a cage into the La Paz mine there. The cable parted and the men dropped fifteen hundred feet. With five deaths from pellagra in Butler county, Alabama, three persons dying and five cases under observation, there is almost a panic in that section. The state department of health has been importunt to send help. Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota will go into a hospital September1 for a fourth operation for appendicitis. Announcement of the officers elected at the annual convention of the International Jewelry Workers of North America, held at Providence, R. L., last month, was made as follows: President, William C, Wuff, Chicago; first vice president, A. B. Weisenberger, Denver; secretary, George Bessenger, Newark; treasurer, Frank Bassak, Buffalo. Three severe earthquake shocks were experienced at Acapulco, Mexico, on the 16th inst. The ocean dropped far below its usual level and along the entire shore line of the port the beach was exposed for a distance of thirty feet. Miss Kate M. Gordon of New Orleans, chairman of the Susan B. Anthony fund, wants to raise a million dollars for the cause of woman suffrage. Her plan is to get 100 women to give $1,000 each and 1,000 women to give $100 each to this memorial fund to Miss Anthony. President Taft indicated in talks with callers while at Beverly, Mass., that in his message to Congress next December he will strongly urge the early establishment of a postal savings bank system. He will ask that the Republican platform declaration in favor of postal banks be fulfilled as speedily as possible. The Memorandum signed at Mukden, Manchuria, August 19, by representatives of the Japanese and Chinese governments practically closes the Antung-Mukden controversy. According to the terms of the understanding China agrees to afford Japan every assistance in the reconstruction of the Antung-Mukden railroad and withdraws all her objections. A military automobile with Malcom E. Parrott of the national guard of New York at the wheel, left New York for San Francisco on the 20th inst. bearing dispatches for Major General Weston commanding the department of the West. The trip will cover 3,693 miles. On its success, it is said will largely depend the establishment of a regular automobile service for the army. Dispatches from Melilla say that expert opinion has been justified, as it has been found impossible to cut the Marchia canal under four months General Marina, commander of the Spanish forces, decided to commence the advance to Restinga along the sea front in intense heat. The men however, appear glad that the long suspense is ended, and that the war has really begun. They displayed excellent spirits, and are greatly encouraged by the presence among them of the Duke of Saragossa and the Marquis of Vallecerrato, both of whom are serving as privates, and are treated in every respect like the men. The Marquis of Vallecerrato traveled direct from Cambridge University to volunteer. Superintendent James W. White, who presided over the recent Indian land drawings, announced that the Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Indian lands in North and South Dakota will be opened in October. This is the largest compact area of Indian lands left unopened, being 90 miles long and from 30 to 84 miles wide, containing approximately 2,018,000 acres in South Dakota, and 217,000 in North Dakota. Applications will be in much the same manner as for the Couer d' Alene and Flathead reserves. Registration days have been fixed between October 4 and October 23, the registration points being Aberdeen, Pierre, Lemmon, Lebeau, Mobridge in South Dakota and Bismark, North Dakota. Judge Witten will hold the drawing of numbers at Aberdeen, South Dakota, the last week in October. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON E. R. Baumhardt, W. J. Benott, C. F. Payne and R. D. Forter of Denver and B. J. Lee of Pueblo have been appointed railway mail clerks. The government's bars are up against Switzerland's live stock, because of the existence of the foot and mouth disease among domestic animals in that country. Under the enlarged homestead act, allowing 320 instead of 160 acres, Acting Secretary of the Interior Pierce designated for settlement 542,480 additional acres in Montana, making a total acreage so designated in that state of 26,030,080. Under the provisions of the same act, 123,330 acres of land in San Juan county, Utah, have been similarly designated. Officials of the department of commerce and labor feel considerable concern, it is said, because of failing to receive the report of Agent W. L. Lembkey, giving the number of seals taken on the Pribiloff islands by the North American Commercial company which leases the sealing rights from the government. The report should have been received by August 10, but nothing has been heard from Mr. Lembkey. The fact that there were known to be a number of Japanese pelagic sealing expeditions in the vicinity of the islands, is the chief cause for the alarm. Mr. Lembkey took with him two mountain howitzers and a quantity of sidearms. All of his men were thoroughly armed. Raids on the islands have been numerous in the last few years and the Japanese were particularly daring, it was said, about the time the season closed. The revenue cutter in that vicinity was kept engaged in patrolling and watching sealers who kept so close to the islands that unless under known surveillance they did not hesitate to kill the herds in a ruthless manner. It is regarded as certain that the Interstate Commerce Commission will take an appeal to the United States Supreme Court from the decision of the United States Circuit Court at Chicago, in the Missouri river rate case. An increase of 2 cents is to be made soon in the fee for registering letters and packages. Announcement of the proposed change was made by Postmaster General Hitchcock. The government has been losing several million dollars through the present system STATE NEWS ITEMS Grand Junction boasts of having one of the finest Young Men's Christian Association buildings in the state. It is a beautiful structure of sawed stone, and was erected at a cost of $85,000. Charging her husband, Cassius M.

Shedd, formerly head of the physics department at Colorado College and later dean of Westminster College near Denver, will not go to the University of Pittsburg, as intended, but will accept the chair of physics at Olivet College, Michigan. Dr. E. G. Lancaster, also formerly of Colorado College, is president of Olivet College. Mrs. Rose D. Rittman, Head Chief Ranger of the Women's Catholic Order of Foresters, an insurance organization for women and conducted entirely by women, is in Denver to organize the Italian women of the city into courts. The order has 57,000 members. Mrs. Rittman has been at the head of it for twelve years. Its membership is limited to women of the Catholic faith. At a cost of $2,000,000, Denver and Eastern men will construct an immense reservoir along Bear creek above Morrison, to develop electric power and irrigate dry lands. They are planning to organize a company to be called the Home Power and Irrigation Company, which will take over the plants of the Mount Evans company and all other water rights on the creek and consolidate them. State Brand Inspector Bierman went to Manitou recently from Denver to examine the brand of a horse which J. Schueeler, proprietor of the Ute Springs, recently bought from a stranger, and the official will try to locate the seller. The animal, which was guaranteed to be gentle, kicked viciously, breaking Schueeler's ankle and also fracturing the leg of Art James of Manitou. The horse will be killed. James Kelley of Telluride is wandering demented in the hills south of Ridway, if he is not dead of exposure, Kelley left for Denver Saturday, but left the train at Placerville. Sunday night he went to the ranch of Charles Gallagher on the Pallas divide. He appeared insane. Gallagher tried to detain him, but Kelley broke away and disappeared in the dark. Since then no trace has been found of him. For four blocks the unseen hand of Death piloted a Denver tramway car on the Nineteenth avenue line, carryin forty passengers, at 10:30 o'clock Sunday night, when John A. Benson, the motorman of the car died of a hemorrhage with his hand on the controller. It was not until the conductor or suspected that all was not well in the forward end of the car after two signals for stops at crossings had been passed by unheeded, that he went to the vestibulated front section and there found Benson dead. With the completion of the plans made by the City Council of Denver for the taking over of the immense George W. Clayton estate, amounting to $1,500,000, the question of the appointment of an administrator to look after the property lately acquired by the city is the topic for much discussion in legal and reality circles in the city. Mayor Speer, as chairman of the commission of three, which will formally administer the affairs of the big estate, has the power of appointing the trustee. With the title goes an annual salary of $5,000. Greeley.—J. C. McCreery will have a unique agricultural display at the Weld county fair, which is to be held here September 1, 2, 3 and 4. In the lot will be specimens of the vegetable lemon, a South American product. These are the first plants of the kind ever grown in Colorado. They are a cross between the lemon and a squash, and are used for making pies. Another remarkable specimen will be the wonderberry, which grows on a bush and resembles a blackberry. The fruit is the size and color of a small black marble and grows in clusters. An unnamed grain, which is a sort of beardless barley, is also in his exhibit. Mrs. George M. Wilson of 2204 West Twenty-eighth avenue, wife of the manager of the Western Cement and Lumber Company, Denver, will receive nearly a million dollars as her share of the estate of General Sevier, a Revolutionary War hero, which is expected to be closed by the United States government this fall. Mrs. Wilson is the granddaughter of Samuel Sevier of Guymon, Okla., one of the original eighty heirs of the old soldier. The estate grew out of the deeding to General Sevier, by the government, of 177,000 acres of land in Tennessee, North Carolina and Alabama, and the repurchase by the government of the same land. The purchase price has never been paid, and amounts, with interest, to the sum of more than $300,000,000. Edith Dressor of Denver has been appointed teacher of first year English and first year algebra in the Greeley High school. She has a master's degree from Denver university and comes highly recommended. She has had several years' experience in high schools throughout the state. Suspension of all high school students who continue to retain their membership in a fraternity or sorority is to be the penalty meted out at the opening of the school year, under a new ruling adopted by the Denver Board of Education.

Marysville, California CUT IN TRAFFICS HELPS COLORADO FIGHTERS FOR FAIR FREIGHT RATES FINALLY FIND FAVORABLE FINISH. WILL BENEFIT THE WEST WILL BENEFIT THE WEST GEORGE KINDEL'S LONG WAR MAY BRING RELIEF TO THE ENTIRE STATE. Denver.—Denver's fighters for fair freight rates, chief among whom is George J. Kindel, are more than ever convinced, by the ruling of the United State Circuit Court in Chicago that the logical way to force the railroads to grant reasonable through freight rates from the Atlantic seaboard into Denver is through the Galveston gateway, says the Denver Republican. To that end the Chamber of Commerce and Manufacturers' Association will make application before the Interstate Commerce Commission to have the rates from Denver to Galveston materially reduced. Both organizations have employed an attorney to represent them before the commission, who will notify them in a short time just how far he thinks the commission can be asked to go in lowering all distributing rates from the Gulf ports. Kindel, who now has a petition before the commission asking for a restoration of the old rates from Galveston to Denver, will leave his petition before that body but will not push it until he learns what relief may be obtained by other petitions to be presented. The Southwestern Shippers' Traffic Association, which has its petition almost ready for presentation, will ask for a first-class rate to Denver of $1.40 from Galveston. The present rate is $2.05 and the rate Kindel is asking for is $1.80. It is probable that the Chamber of Commerce and Manufacturers' Association will intervene in favor of the Southwestern's petition in so far as it applies to Denver territory. Denver shippers contend that a reduction of the Galveston rates will provide a through rate to Denver from the Atlantic seaboard, by way of that port, lower than the lowest rates now given by the sea and rail routes. The existing all-rail rate on first-class shipments from the seaboard to Colorado common points is $2.73, and there is a differential of 39 cents in favor of the rail and water routes, making the through rate by these routes $2.34. The through rate by the Galveston gateway, with the prevailing steamship rates to Galveston and the rate to be asked fcr from Galveston would make the maximum through rate by that port $1.65. The rate from the seaboard to the Mississippi river is 88 cents, thence to the Missouri river 60 cents, and thence to Denver $1.25, the three rates making the total through rate of $2.73 to Denver. Under the ruling of the court, this through rate cannot be reduced without a corresponding reduction in one or more of the local rates, so that the through rate will still be the sum of the local rates. It is generally conceded that the opinion delivered by Judge Grosscup affords foundation for a fight on the part of Colorado common point shippers to have these points recognized by all the roads as a basing line. Such a recognition would mean a reduction of rates from the Missouri river to Denver and from Denver to Salt Lake City, so as to abolish the differential of 74 cents that exists against Denver and in favor of the Atlantic seaboard and the Missouri and Mississippi rivers in Utah territory. The present rate from the Missouri river to Salt Lake City is $2.05, while the rate suffered by Denver manufacturers and jobbers, made up by adding the local of $1.25 from the Missouri river and $1.54 to Salt Lake City, is $2.79. All eastern basing lines enjoy the same differential against Denver in Utah territory. It was principally to obtain relief from this discrimination that George Kindel filed his case, 951, before the commission. The commission did not grant what he wanted and he is not displeased with the ruling of the court restraining the order of the commission in the case. As soon as the case is finally settled in the Supreme Court, to which it will evidently be appealed, suits will be filed before the commission asking for the elimination of the existing differential. In the meantime all interests will be centered toward the opening of the Galveston gateway, by which means it is hoped the railroads will be compelled to grant partial relief from the discrimination complained of.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP What the Lawmakers Eat in Summertime Members of Congress Hot After Mileage Your Picture Taken With Mr. Taft Busy Boosters of the Latin Republics WASHINGTON.—Among the thousand things that influenced the making of the tariff bill in congress, there has been overlooked one element that had indirect but important effect on the raising or lowering of schedules. Three times a day this influence got to work on the senators and congressmen perspiring in the mid-summer heat of the capitol. It was their daily diet. The menus of Washington are a culinary jumble, a gastronomic hash, a geographical mixture of tropical and temperate zone cookery. They must serve the pie eaters of New England, the Frenchified palates of New Yorkers, the beefeaters of the north, the iron-clad stomachs of the west, and the uneasy livers of the south. The city has not completely acquired the art of hot weather dining that you can find best exemplified in Egypt, India, and the far east where Englishmen and Americans live in exile. It struggles between carnivorous appetites and tropical temperature. What sort of a tariff decision would you expect from a man who eats beefsteak for breakfast, yet this is what you can find on Washington bills of fare. Then there are 17 different kinds of cereal foods that leave a sawdust nourishment in your stomach. 61st CONGRESS FIRST SESSION CLOSED FOR THE SEASON THE extra session just closed is regarded in the eyes of the law as the first session of the Sixty-first congress, so unless a court ruling is made which reverses the treasury department the lawmakers will get no mileage when they come together next December. The senators and congressmen, however, have not given up hope of securing their mileage for the Dingley law session, for they carried the case to the court of claims. Gen. Grosvenor, until recently a representative from Ohio, and one of the leaders of the Cannon machine in the house, is the attorney in charge of the case for the mileage claimants. The mere fact that most of the senators and congressmen did not return to their homes between adjournment on March 4 and the beginning of the extra session on March 15 does not lessen their desire to get the mileage. It is so much "velvet," if they can get it, and the majority of the gentlemen who go to Washington to serve their country have the reputation of getting all they can. The statesmen get 15 cents a mile over the longest possible route to their homes. Some of the New York members get more than $100 for a trip. COME IN AND HAVE YOUR PICTURE TAKEN WITH PRESIDENT TAFT If you want your picture taken with President Taft, come to Washington. It's a sure-thing proposition. Whether the biggest man of the nation is at Beverly or Bullymahoo, it's all the same thing. For the nominal price of half a dollar or a bagatelle of that sort you can go thundering down to posterity on a piece of pasteboard clasping hands with the king of America or costly locking arms with His Honorable Greatness. Of course, as far as the president goes, it is absent treatment, pictorially speaking. All you've got to be particular about is to be on hand your own self. 'Way down "the Avenue," close to THERE is none of the imputed Latin indisposition to work in those who conduct the International Bureau of American Republics here. The bureau, which, by the way, is putting up a spick and span new building, acts as a sort of press agent for the Latin-American countries. A perusal of one of its monthly bulletins is a liberal education in what the "Other Americans" are doing and in the resources of their countries. The July number was the annual and a dozen different acidy fruits that Carlsbad doctors tell you to avoid. There is nothing in the world that lies heavier on a tired, flaccid, mid-summer stomach than an anecdel melon the first thing in the morning, yet a majority of the tariffmakers ate them daily. The internal chill their digestive organs get is a rapid cooler for tariff reduction enthusiasm. The capitol restaurant serves more dairy dishes and pie than at any other time of the year. The average lawmaker eats at noon—a good habit in this country, if only he would eat digestible food. But he turns his liver with overdoses of milk, pours down quantities of iced drinks amid layers of pie and devitalizing food. The one salvation is that roast beef—generally cold—still remains the principal blood making, brain sustaining, muscle giving meat dish of the capital. But it is the night diners that furnish the most amazing specimens of menus. The bills of fare of the leading hotels follow closely parallel lines. Their principal dishes can be classified as follows: Twenty-four different kinds of ices. Fifteen cold salads. Fifteen different ways of cooking potatoes. Twenty-nine vegetables, hot and cold. Eight fish cooked in 15 different ways. Seventeen hot roasts and entrees, of which eight were chicken and birds. As an evidence of the receptive disposition on the part of the members of congress it might be mentioned that the representatives voted themselves each $125 extra "stationery allowance", soon after the beginning of the extra session. A great many of them do not spend more than $15 or $20 a year on their stationery. There are 391 members, four delegates and three commissioners who may draw this comfortable little additional $125 allowance, making 398 all told. The sum of this item, therefore, is $21,450. Every employee of the capitol working force was granted an extra month's pay, and as the salaries run all the way from $6,000 a year, experts, to $50 a month for messengers, and $2.50 a day for pages, the sum total is a tidy one. The extra pay of the senate pages amounts to $4,800 for the extra session. These youngsters, of whom there are 16, are given $2.50 a day, reckoning 30 days a month. The urgent deficiency bill carries a number of the items due to the extra session. Among them is one "for miscellaneous items, exclusive of labor, $25,000." Who gets it is not divulged in the bill. Another line in the bill reads: "To reimburse the official reporters of the proceedings and debates of the senate for expenses incurred during the first session of the Sixty-first congress for clerk hire and other clerical services, $3,240." The official reporters of debates get $5,000 a year apiece and extra compensation for additional copies of their transcriptions. the Capitol, an obscure little photographer's shop floats on its frontal a drapery of white cloth bearing blatantly the black legend: "Come in and have your picture taken with President Taft." The trick is turned, of course, by the simple method of improving the customer's figure beside the stock plates of President Taft with out-stretched hand, as if in greeting, or in a friendly arm-and-arm pose. The illusion, however, is very good, and the perpetrator has been making money ever since the inauguration, when postcard fakers filled the street with similar enticements. The Capitol or White House looms convincingly in the background, and in the forefront there you are in the presidential grip and under the radiance of the presidential smile. Of course, your friends in Wayback believe they have ocular demonstration that you are the whole show when you come to Washington. review number. John Barrett is director of the bureau and Francisco J Yanes is secretary. These two are busy as bees, keeping the countries in which they are interested in the public eye. The July issue covers the activities of the 20 Latin-American Republics of the International union for the year 1908. "The spirit of internationalism in its broadest application was the pervading characteristic of relations between the various countries of America during 1908," the bulletin says. "The year was marked by numerous gatherings of the representative elements of national life, both in Latin America and the United States, and on all occasions indications of a unanimity of sentiment and community of interest were markedly displayed." BENZOATEOFSODA IS NOT HARMFUL 80 SAYS THE PURE FOOD CONVENTION AFTER A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. FLANDERS IS PRESIDENT ENGLAND APPROVES OF REPORT MADE BY REFEREE BOARD UNDER ROOSEVELT. Denver.—Benzoate of soda and Dr Ira Remsen won out before the convention of state and national food and dairy departments in a most decisive manner. The proceedings were marked by verbal storms, but the passage of the following resolution put an end to the controversy: "Resolved, That this association hereby indorses the report of the Referee Board of consulting scientific experts, appointed by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson at the direction of President Roosevelt, upon the use of benzoate of soda in food products. In other words, the report of Dr. Remsen and his associates in favor of benzoate of soda is sustained and Dr. Harvey W. Wiley's opposition to benzoate as a food preservative is rebuked. The Wileyites were completely routed during the session. The Remsen board was honored also by the acknowledgment from England that its report had been accepted as authority by the British government. Dr. John H. Long, a member of the board, received from a London correspondent a letter informing him that the English government holds the Remsen board in the highest regard, and has accepted its findings as final. A letter was received from Nathan Straus, the New York philanthropist, who has been fighting for eighteen years to have the milk supplies of cities pasteurized so as to save the babies from infectious diseases that are often carried in milk. Straus wrote: "Since your last annual meeting very important advances have been made by many of the members of your association in the protection of the public from the infections that are often carried in milk. Particularly is it true that many of the officials charged with the duty of seeing to the purity of the food supply have taken steps to prevent the sale of tuberculous milk, in order that this universal food may no longer be the means of spreading the great white plague. "In Chicago Dr. Evans, the health commissioner, has made a gallant fight for the public health in insisting that milk sold in that city must come from tuberculin-tested herds or must be properly pasteurized. Some twenty other cities are moving along the same lines. "The exhaustive investigation by the public health service has proved both the necessity for pasteurization and the fact that the process in no way impairs the nutritive qualities of the milk or its digestibility. "This verifies the practical experience that I have had through eighteen years in feeding 25,000 babies in New York alone upon pasteurized milk and in finding that they undoubtedly flourished upon this milk besides being spared diseases they might have contracted from raw milk. Dr. Remsen addressed the convention. He said in part: "In the early part of the year 1908, President Roosevelt wrote to the presidents of half a dozen universities of the country, saying that in the administration of the pure food law some difficulties had arisen and that it seemed desirable to call in the aid of a group of scientific men to pass upon such disputed matters. Shortly after this I was invited to take the chairmanship of the board, and asked to select the members. "Now, in regard to this work on benzoate of soda. The referee board was asked to determine two points: 'Whether benzoate of soda, in quantities as are likely to be used, is or is not injurious to health. "Whether the quality or strength of a food to which benzoate of soda has been added is thereby reduced, lowered or injuriously affected. "The board had a number of long meetings, in which the methods were fully discussed. During the progress of the work I kept informed in regard to it. We then agreed upon the form of the report, and the knowledge I had gained was such that I felt justified in signing the report." Now that the soda question is settled, other matters of importance will be taken up. In all probability Dr. George Flanders of New York will be elected president for the coming year.

THE Johnson 1005 SIXTEEN The Little Blind Bats Beneath the ruin there still existed a dungeon vault, gloomy and granite groined, yet, save for broken wall and stairway, perfect as when poor wretches molded there at the mercy of their feudal masters. Now not so much as one specter of a vanished sufferer haunted the place; only the bats passed their sleeping hours among the arches of the roof and hung, from five-clawed hands, with sinister, wrapped wings—like little dusky cherubin that worship with veiled faces at some mystery-seat of evil.—Eden Philpotts, "Sons of the Morning." Sickness in Germany. There are in Germany about 7,500 hospitals in which 1,200,000 patients are annually treated. Adding to these the inmates of private sanatoria and patients treated at home, it is estimated that at all times one person is 60 of the population is seriously ill. American Authors Keep Busy.

The world has little pity and few favors to be spent For the man who is disgruntled and sites sulking in his tent; If your ventures have not prospered do not idly curse your luck. But get out and make the people wonder at your manly pluck. Men will never come to coax you, if you hang back in despair. To have courage and keep trying to put off the frown you wear; They will not arrange new chanctes to replace the ones you lose While you hunt a gloomy corner clinging to a case of blues. They are foolish self-cheated who keep harping on their woes After they have been defeated, thinking, all men are their foes. And the praise the world is willing to be best is never meant For the man who is disgruntled and sites sulking in his tent. -S. E. Kiser in Chicago Record-Herald. Why help pay big rent?

DENVER PHONE 782 1814 CURTIS STREET GOOD WORK ON TIME PRINTERY HOSPITAL WELL-EQUIPPED INSTITUTION IS CONDUCTED BY UNCLE SAM. Located in Portion of Building Easily Accessible from All Parts—Nearly 1,200 Patients Treated During Last Year. Washington.—One of many indications that the United States government is a model employer, and does much to look after the comfort and general welfare of the many thousand men and women on its pay rolls, is to be found in the thoroughly up-to-date hospital it maintains at the government printing office. U.S. CAPITOL During the regular sessions of congress, when there is plenty of work at the big printery, which is the largest in the world, nearly 5,000 men and women are employed there. Through illness and accident some of this great number of employees are incapacitated for work each day, and it was to render these persons immediate and gratuitous assistance that the hospital was established in 1906, under the administration of Public Printer Oscar Rickettts. The official designation of the hospital is the emergency-room of the government printing office. It is one section of the division of sanitation. It is purposely located in that part of the building most accessible from all sections, on the fourth floor front, midway between two elevators. It is connected by telephone with each room of the building, and in an emergency call its combination reclining chair and stretcher can be rushed to any part of the office without delay. The hospital is not a great distance from either the top or bottom floors. The hospital chair, like a small ambulance, has the right of way in the corridors and elevators and can be seen frequently being wheeled quickly and silently in and out of the elevators and along the corridors to different parts of the office, going to the assistance of those who are taken ill or have been injured through an accident. The hospital occupies one room, about forty feet long and sixteen feet wide. Each end of the room is fitted up in duplicate and so arranged that it can be curtained off as a separate ward. The furniture and equipment are complete, but compact, arranged somewhat like the hospital on board a large ocean liner. There is a bed at each end of the room, and also stationary baths, basins and washstands, and a wardrobe for the patient. The floor is of marble mosaic, and the wainscoting and walls are of white enamel, so that they can be kept in a thoroughly clean and sanitary condition. As the room faces the east, there is plenty of sunlight in the morning, and also rather an extended view. In general appointments and location the hospital is as pleasant a room as the patients could possibly wish for in which to recuperate from any slight illness or accident. Modern equipment of all kinds has been provided, and many who have visited the emergency room declare that it compares favorably, with that in any hospital in or near Washington. At each end of the room there is an electric instrument sterilizer, and in the center a larger sterilizer for dressings. There are duplicate medicine chests, well stocked with all the usual remedies known to modern medicine, and an instrument case containing all the instruments necessary for emergency or firstaid work. There is also an oxygen and nitrous oxide generator, a receptacle containing salt solution, an operating table, electric warming pads and every other contrivance that goes to make the equipment of a modern hospital complete. That the emergency room supplies a real want in the government printing office is shown by the large number of cases treated each year. During 1508 there were 1,180 patients treated; 544 were surgical cases and 636 medical. Four persons died in the hospital last year of heart disease or apoplexy, and there have been two deaths from apoplexy this year. As a rule there are more women treated than men, especially for illness, but accidents are confined almost exclusively to men, as they have all the heavy and more dangerous work to do. There are many cases where women come or are brought to the emergency room faint or exhausted, and yet return to their work in an hour or two completely relieved by some simple and immediate treatment. Among the kinds of cases treated for both men and women are fracture or dislocation of limbs, infected wounds, burns, strains, foreign bodies in the eye, epileptic fits, heat exhaustion, acute indigestion and fainting. Four cases of ptomaine poisoning were treated last year. There have been frequent cases of poisoning due to overdoses of headache powders or cough medicine, taken by employees at home when they felt too ill to report for duty. Lead colic is a rather frequent cause of trouble with those who work in the composing rooms and inhale the graphite fumes of the molten metal used with the printing machines. There have also been numerous cases of electric shock. STORIES BY SENATOR TAYLOR. Why the Old Darky Woman Wanted Her Husband Pardoned—Three Great Talkers. GOOD story tellers are hailed with delight in the United States senate. They enliven many a dull executive session while cigars are being smoked out. Senator Robert L. Taylor's reputa- OOD story tellers are hailed with delight in the United States senate. They enlist many a dull executivesession while cigars are being smoked out. Senator Robert L. Taylor's reputa- tion had preceded him and "Fiddling Bob," who worked his way into the hearts of his constituents by playing for their country dances long ago, justified his right to a place with Senator Depew and other reconteurs of the senate. This is one of his: "While governor of Tennessee I was once approached by an old negro woman who asked a pardon for her husband, sent to the penitentiary for stealing a hog. "How long has he been in jail? was asked. "Goln' on two years now,' came the answer, 'but law, he ain't no good to them and wa'n't no good to me nohow, an' I speck they'll be glad to git rid o' him.' "Why do you want to get him out if he was of no use to you?" "To tell the truth, guv'ner, we done gettin' short o' meat." The Taylor brothers, one a Republican and the other a Democrat, once stumped Tennessee against each other. One night after a hot debate from the same stage as they were leaving the hall a sparsely clothed and slightly inbrated darkey met them in the aisle. Placing a hand on the shoulder of each he said: "Say, we three Taylor boys be the greatest talkers in Tennessee." WASHINGTON TO SET EXAMPLE Permits for Unsightly Billboards in Front of Union Station Are Washington.—Washington is setting an example for the rest of the country in its war on the billboard nuisance. Visitors reaching the national capital are not to be shocked henceforth as they emerge from the new Union station—the creation of Daniel H. Burnham of Chicago—by a welcoming horde of bizarre advertisements. The station, artistic in design, combining all the best moden features of such structures, faces a large plaza. The semi-circle enclosing it offers tempting sites for the billboard men, notwithstanding in the near foreground is the capitol and the new senate office building. Under the strict laws now in force in the district, controlling not only the erection of billboards, but the character of advertisements displayed upon them, permits were required of the commissioners before the boards could be erected. The commissioners have decided to refuse such permits. They have gone even further. Several enterprising sign painters in the employ of different companies had decorated the sides of houses near the station with flaring advertisements. These are to be removed. Washington will therefore set an example, so far as its railroad station is concerned, which the American civic association is to take up in Chicago, New York and other large cities, to suppress billboard advertising near such public places. The campaign against billboards will be carried on here to have all of the unsightly affairs near public buildings and parks removed. Brownlow and Jefferson Bible A few years ago congress authorized the publication of a facsimile of Thomas Jefferson's Bible. Jefferson had this Bible in the form of a scrapbook in which the life of the Saviour was set out from the scriptures in chronological order with especial emphasis as to the philosophy of life He enunciated in His sayings. This material was set down in parallel columns in the Greek, Latin and English texts. After the order of congress was carried out the publishers were given leave to print additional copies which were put on the market at $2.50 a volume. Recently there has been an overproduction and the price is now quoted at $1.25. A few days ago a constituent of Representative Walter Brownlow of Tennessee heard about the decrease in the price and rushed in to tell the congressman, who had more requests for the Bible than he could fill. "It's going for $1.25," said the caller. "Well, what of it?" replied Brownlow. "I can buy a whole Bible for 25 cents." Senate Pronunciation a Study. Pronunciation in the United States senate in the recent tariff debates was an interesting study. It was noted that the southern senators, almost without exception, called tobacco "terbacker." The word "government," frequently used by men from all sections, usually is pronounced "guv'ment." Reading Clerk Crockett always fell down on the word "statistics," saying "statistics." When he first came to the senate former Senator A. J. Hopkins had trouble with "development," usually pronouncing it as if it were "develeploment." Former Senator Henry M. Teller persisted in calling Cuba "Cuby." A newspaper man asked the senator one day as to the authority for his peculiar pronunciation. The senator promptly flared up and replied: "Don't you suppose I know how to pronounce Cuby when I was born in Cuby N. Y.?"

Denver—Sharp and pungent as the preservatives over which they are war- ring, was the opening of the annual convention of the Association of State and National Food and Dairy Commis- sloners in the ballroom of the Brown Palace hotel Tuesday. But sharp though the fight will be, the end is already apparent. Friends of the federal administration are {nt the majority two to one. The domi- nant figure of the convention is Sec- retary of Agriculture James Wilson. ‘The anti-benzoate of soda people, the advocates of a model food law, be- lieved by the friends of the adminis- tration to be intended as a substitute for the present food laws built up un- der the able leadership of “Tama Jim,” seem doomed even this early to an overwhelming defeat. It is probable that out of this con- vention will grow a meeting of state food and dairy commissioners at Washington summoned by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, to bind even closer the bonds between federal and state supervision and regulation of food stuffs, and to put. the finishing touches upon the victory which the administration forces now expect to will with comparative ease. Commis- sioner Wilbur F. Cannon of Colorado suggested that Secretary Wilson call such a meeting in his address yester- day before the convention. It was a timely word, received with enthusiasm and commended by several of the suc- ceeding speakers. President Emery and Secretary Al- len contended that the only persons who were entitled to membership and a vote were those who had paid 310 at the meeting last year at Mackinac Island, Canada, and joined the associ- ation. This was regarded as an at- tempt to shut out the friends of Secre- tary Wilson. The attendance at Den- yevr is larger than for years past. Many delegates would be unable to take part in the convention were this rule enforced, and of this number a great many commissioners are Secre: tary Wilson's friends. But an expedient was found to make the anti-benzoates pull in their horns Commissioner Cannon of Colorado questioned the adoption of such a res olution as described by the president and secretary last year, and called for verification in the proceedings of the convention. Although the money ap propriated was to be used for printing the reports none have ever beer printed. Only the original copy is ir existence. It is sald that during the secret session at Mackinac resolutions condemning Secretary Wilson and his Policies were passed. That with Sec retary Wilson, evidence of whose fighting qualities had already beer given in the morning, sitting amons the commissioners, the secretary fel a delicacy about producing the records of the previous convention. Therefore they were not produced, although Com missioner Cannon frequently made call for them. In discussing benzoate of soda, Pres fdent Emery reviewed the efforts made at Washington to have the fed eral government frown upon the use 0! the preservative. After experienced chemists had shown that benzoate o! soda as used in many of the common food products was harmful, he said the referee board, headed by Dr. Ire Remsen of Baltimore, Md., conductec ‘a series of experiments with the resull that the government was informec that the preservative was not harm ful. “This board conducted experiments upon a limited number of healthy young men with what they calle¢ small doses of benzoate of soda addec to foods for two months, and witt what they called large doses for on¢ month,” said President Emery. “Wé realized that if the finding of this board was accepted by the govern ment a crisis had been reached in out efforts to purify food. We pointed out the following objections to benzo ate of soda: ‘That it is harmful; tha physicians usually banish it from thei homes; that it is unnecessary, sinc« foods properly prepared do not nee chemical preservatives; that it per mits the use of unfit materials ir food; that it encourages unsanitary practices and encourages substitutior for refrigeration and sterilization; tha {ts use sends out through the dairy man, butcher, soda dispenser and gro cer a drug which is harmful to the public health. We held that if the na Dr. Wiley May Resign. Denver.—A message received here announces that Dr. Harvey M. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry, De- partment of Agriculture, is about to resign. Dr. Wiley, who is attending the pure food convention here, was questioned regarding the rumor last night. “It is news to me,” said Wiley. Asked if he could account for the rumor, he replied that he supposed tt had its origin in the fact that so :aany people wanted him to resign. tional government should iIndorse Den~ woic acid it would thus license one of the preservatives which encourages the same conditions in fruit and vege- table manufacture as were abolished in the meat packing establishments by the national meat inspection law. “In view of this position we ap- pealed to President Roosevelt in the latter part of his term to appoint an- other committee to investigate the findings of the Remsen board. The re- quest was referred by President Roosevelt to Secretary: of Agriculture Wilson, who reported back to the pres- ident against granting that request. “However, we hope at this conven- ‘tion to have Dr, Remsen and three other members of his board express ‘thelr views on the subject and give their reasons.” Mr. Emery then enumerated some adulterations which he said were com- mon under lax laws. Among these were glucose made to look like honey, jelly made out of apple cores and skins, sausage made from unfit meat artificially colored, artificial eggs, cot- fee beans made of rye paste. The movement to abolish these impurities, the speaker said, originated not in the national government, but by the states. He argued that the state should still take the initiative and favored the Ladd “model” state law, as preferable to the federal interstate commerce pure food laws. Hardly had President Emery taken his seat when Secretary Wilson was called upon for an address. He re- sponded and promptly gave the dele- gates to understand just where he stood. It was a characteristic talk by “Tama Jim.” The insinuations by President Em- ery that the Department of Agricul- ture had been lax at times in its work, Secretary Wilson denied in his plain, forcible language. He asked that the Remsen board be given a fair hearing and said in addition that he would be happy to give every member of that commission places in the department | of chemistry if Congress would place the means at his disposal. Secretary Wilson’s remarks were greeted with cheers, yet before he had stepped from the platform President Emery angrily said: “This referee board was asked to come to this convention by the execu- tive committee and the insinuation that {t 1s not to be given fair play comes with bad grace. The re- port went to the secretary of agricul- ture and he sent it back without con- ment. We took it that it did not meet his approval.” Secretary Wilson asked a moment to answer, and said dryly: “You gentlemen up Mackinac way took it upon yourselves to condemn us down at Washington unheard and so we figured you were not the material from which judges of the supreme court can be made.” Them following committees were ap- pointed by President Emery yesterday: Finance, A. H, Jones (Illinois), H. R. Wright (Iowa), and Hubert F. Potter of Connecticut. Place of meeting, George L. Flanders (New York), Com- missioner Stallings (Georgia), and William P. Coulter, commissioner of Missouri. Resolutions, Commissioner James Faust (Pennsylvania), C. D. Wood, Wm. Allen, E. W. MacGruder (Virginia), and Dr. Connell. Nearly all the commissioners give five-minute talks at the close of the afternoon session. Commissioner Can- non of Colorado gave credit to the women of the state for securing a pure food law and Commissioner Coul- ter of Missouri also gave the women of his state the credit for much good in that line. Dr. S. J. Crumbine, sec- retary of the board of health and food |and drug inspector at Topeka, Kas. made a vicious assault upon the com- mon house fly, which he termed a vile and potent villain. The fly >auses more trouble than food commissioners, according to Dr. Crumbine, who | showed a sheet of tanglefoot op which |he had caught vast varieties of the ‘| best in many strange places, in print. ers’ ink.

SAVE BOTH TIME AND LABOR Some Simple Rules That If Observed Will Do Away with Much of Drudgery. It the washing is to be done at home and if the following rules are carried out, much time, labor and ex- pense may be ayoided and the wash- ing day become a pleasure instead of drudgery. Washing should be done once a week, as soiled clothes put by are more difficult to get clean and keep a good color; besides it is unwhole- some to have dirty linen in the house for long. It should be kept, when pos- sible, in a well ventilated place, not in the bedrooms. Before washing separate the wool- en things from the linen and the col ored from the white, Put the white clothes into cold water, as this loos- ens the dirt and saves time and la- bor, less soap being required and less wear and tear in rubbing the gar- ment. If the fine things are very soiled dissolve some borax in boiling wa- ter and a@d to the soaking water; for coarse clothes, add soda dissolved in the same way. Any holes in the clothes should be drawn together or the friction of washing will enlarge them. Stains also should be removed, as in some cases soap and water harden and fix them. All necessary materials, such as blue, soap and starch, should be ready, and the utensils very clean. Orange Shortcake. Mix and sift one and one-half cups flour, two teaspoons of baking pow- der, one-half teaspoon salt. Separate one egg, beating the white to a stiff froth, Stir into the flour one cup of milk, the egg yolk and one tablespoon of melted butter, and add, finally, beaten white of egg. Bake in a drip- per for 25 mintes, then remove, put- ting it on a platter. With a coarse, white thread cut the loaf in two horl- zontally, placing upper crust upon a towel.

WILL LEAVE JOHNNY AT HOME Next Time Mother Visits Grandfather Youngster Is Not Likely to Accompany Her! “I think the mother of a six-year-old boy should have a pension to make up to her for the mental agony she suf- fers,” said just such a mother. “I took Johnny to his paternal grandfa- ther’s last week, and believe he has cut us out of grandfather's will. Of course, we send him to Sunday school and we both attend church, but we do not ask a blessing at the table, nor do we have family prayers. Grandfa- ther does, and it happened that the morning after we arrived Johnny was excused from the table and went out in the yard to play. Grandfather led the way into the sitting room and we all knelt down in prayer. Imagine my horror to see Johnny's little face peer- ing curiously through the blinds and hear him sing out: ‘Hey, in there, what kind of a game is that you're playing? Ain’t you the rotten bunch not to let me in on it.’ I arose and softly whispered to him to run on and play, and he sang out: ‘You're it, mamma, you're it; make a home run.’ Now, what can you do with a small boy, anyway? I can never explain matters to his grandfather.” UNFORTUNATE SURVIVAL. =n gai) Gem —\ oo | 4 ie a i 4 ae yy FN. on A B 8 ae red ap). 2 |e die.

Evidence of the popular interest in the anti-consumption crusade is given in a statement made by the National Association for the Study and Preven: tion of Tuberculosis, to the effect that during the year ending August 31, nearly 3,000,000 people have attended tuberculosis’ exhibitions in various parts of the country. Besides the three traveling tuberculosis exhibi tions of the national association, there are 28 exhibits of this kind through: out the United States. Four years ago there were only three such dis- plays in the entire country. i arn gee ae This is the latest story in Atchison: A young visiting man was declaring that the theory is all nonsense about kissing being dangerous on account of germs conveyed from one mouth to another. “I've kissed hundreds of girls,” he declared, “and I'm not dead yet.” Promptly one of the listeners in- quired: “But what about the girls?” —Kansas City Journal. THREE REASONS Each with Two Legs and Ten Fingers. A Boston woman who is a fond mother writes an amusing article about her experience feeding her bczs. Among other things she says: “Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Rob, Jack and Dick, aged 6, 4 and 2 years respectively, are three of our reasons for using and recomending the food, Grape-Nuts, for these youngsters have been fed on Grape-Nuts since in- fancy, and often between meals when other children would have been given candy. “I gave a package of Grape-Nuts to a neighbor whose 3 year old child was @ weazened little thing, ill half the time. he little tot ate the Grape- Nuts and cream greedily and the moth. er continued the good work, and it was not long before a truly wonderful change manifested itself in the child’s face and body. The results were re- markable, even for Grape-Nuts. “Both husband and I use Grape- Nuts every day and keep strong and well and have three of the finest, healthiest boys you can find in a day's march.” Many mothers instead of destroying the children’s stomachs with candy and cake give the youngsters a hand- ful of Grape-Nuts when they are beg- ging for something in the way of sweets. ‘The result is soon shown in greatly increased health, strength and mental activity. “There's a Reason.” Look in pkgs. for the famous little book, “The Road to Wellville.” Ever rend the above letter?

Fill a mold or basin rather than a quarter full of the dice, pour over the hot jelly, and leave it until set. Dip the mold {nto warm water and turn the Jelly out. Lemon jelly 1s usually the nicest and most of the other varieties are tm- proved by the addition of a squeeze of Amon futce.

A week from to-morrow is Labor day with a capital “L," said a pright young teacher, as she thought of re: turning to the schoolroom, “Learn to labor and to wait,” may have done in the time when it was written, but “Learn to Labor, not to wait,” is more applicable to this day and generation, for he who waits is hopelessly lost in the shuftle. But for the party of whieh I want to tell it struck me as a very good thing. The hostess is a young matron, who is long in the knowledge of the so: called fine arts, but she is wofully lacking in the knowledge of what 1 call the “finer art”—viz., domestic science. Having been recently mar- ried and being desirous of doing for “Jack” just'as “mother used to,” only with modern approved metliods, she has asked six older housekeepers to come to luncheon on Labor day, and the invitations stipulate that each une must be prepared to tell and, per haps, illustrate, some practical way of performing some household duty. The hostess is going to provide cun- ning little notebooks and pencils in which will be written these discover: jes, The table favors are all to be symbols of labor in minfature—tiny brooms, dustpans, tubs, ete—ani the favors are to be the cutest of sweep: ing caps and the most approved mod- els of aprons, under which ‘little wife” may safely wear a_much-be- frilled frock with perfect safety, The menu is to be made up from the rect: pe book prepared by “special friends,” so the hostess confided to me ghe felt sure of results and would not have to try them on “Jack” first. (I wonder if he realizes his fortunate eseape?) I hinted broadly to be bidden to the feast, but the hostess with charming candor replied: “No, Mme. Curtsey, this is to be really and truly a plain affair, without any furbelows, and cannot be classed in your ‘Novel En tertainment.’ It’s too serious," Never theless, I am hoping the readers will appreciate the novelty of the idea, fo1 1 think it is going to be a mighty good luncheon. For Pre-Nuptial Luncheons. ‘The slipper, bell, rose, heart, true lovers’ knot and circle (ring) are all appropriate symbols for place cards at a bride-elect’s luncheon or dinner party. They may be easily made at home. First cut the design out of paper until it is satisfactory, then use as a pattern on heavy duil paper or cardboard that comes for just such purposes.

Entire figure place cards are ef. fective with a standard to hold them upright at each plate. At one dinner for a bridal party the place cards were little photographs of the bride and groom in frames of gilt with mats made from the bridal gown. A coterie of college girls had these unique souvenirs, which also served as place cards, Books were made of white satin, with the words “Our Wed: ding Cards” done in gold. They were to preserve the wedding cards of the girls as they came out, and there were spaces for newspaper clippings de- scriptive of the event; also places for 4 lew written notes. I think photographs of the bride and groom should be added to make this record complete. The name of each girl was done in gold on the outside cover, and thus it made the place card. eee mene cane A hostess with a large lawn de- vised this original and pretty shower for a summer bride-elect. She had the lawn gayly decorated with lan- terns and rugs spread in cozy spots surrounded by shrubbery with camp chairs and little tables where tea was served, The guests were asked to bring ar- ticles for a “miscellaneous” shower. After they arrived there was a short musical program of love songs. The packages were tied to a beautiful evergreen, a real little Christmas tree. It vertainly was a loaded tree, for the hostess had added a lot of tin things like cooky cutters, graters, etc., that sparkled in a most bewitching manner, Each parcel was accompanied by a rhyme or sentiment, which was read aloud. The bride-elect was handed a pair of scissors and clipped the rib. bons, opening each parcel as she took it down. This with serving of refresh- ments furnished entertainment _ for time specified on the invitations, from “three to five.” Every ome was de- lighted with the novelty and pro: nounced the affair a charming sue: cess.
