GREAT PARADES AND BANQUETS. THE AUDITORIUM MEETING. NEGRO APATHY. VOL. XVI, PRESIDI A GREAT AMERICAN IN D AND BANQUETS. T MEETING. NEG THE FRESIDENT. Perhaps the most notable itenary of a President of the United States, will be the present journey into the West. President Taft will be in Colorado next week. Vast and almost regal preparations have been made for his reception and entertainment while here. The President will receive the cordial and patriotic homage of many million people while en route. The homage and respect of the American people for their Chief Executive differs much from that of any other country for its ruler. To this people, the President is but a man, who represents the will of the people, as expressed in the general elections. Behind him are no worn out traditions to hamper the free and untrammelled progress of the nation. The past history of this nation may be filled with the finale of burning questions, but they are burnt out. This nation lives in the present with a governmental machinery sufficiently flexible to meet the veering storms. President Taft is not a spectacular statesman, but he is winning the people by his calm judicial conduct and his evidently sincere desire to carry out the will of the people as expressed by the Republican platform upon which he was elected. This is the clearest document issued by the dominant party in the course of its long existence. The President has won many friends by the staunch and fearless manner in which he has demanded legislation along lines laid down during the late campaign. In the recent extra session his repeated demand for a downward revision of the tariff in the interest of the masses of the people and his fight for a corporation tax has endeared him to the great mass of American people. His effort to shift the burden of taxation that ALL INTERESTS might bear a reasonable proportion of the responsibility bears fruit in the boundless enthusiasm that will be exhibited on every hand. DENVER'S PART. Denver will out do and eclipse all previous exhibition of local pageantry in the sumptuous magnificence of its display receiving and honoring the President. All the local committees are working and Grand Mashall Willis V. Elliott promises a remarkable parade from the depot. The chief committee, city and state dignitaries will meet the Presidential train in Mr. Moffats private car at Limon. Especial appropriations of money have been made for the decoration of Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets by the various committees. A special request is made to all citizens to decorate the streets and buildings. Not that they will be seen by the President but as a mark of respect and honor for the Chief Ruler of the greatest people on earth. THE NEGRO AND THE OCCASION. The Colorado Statesman cannot refrain from expressing great surprise that in all the arrangement for the reception and entertainment of the President the colored men of Denver have manifested absolutely no interest. In this city we claim six thousand population and we have among us many bright and accomplished men. Men capable of taking the initiative in securing some place of recognition for a member of the race. There should be Negroes in the parades, on the committees, on the stage at the auditorium meeting. Such a condition would not exist among Negroes in any other section of the country. They would devise some plan to be seen and heard on such an occasion if only by a few brass horns and a marching club. Our people here are like men stricken with palsey. This condition must be changed and Negroes should demand and make places on such public occasions. President Taft is the ruler of ALL. His color is a mere incident. Let the Negro wake up to the fact that he is a citizen. President Taft will be in Denver Tuesday. Salisbury, N. C., September 6. The Negro Development Company of North Carolina is planning to have a semi-centennial celebration of the abolition of slavery, and will probably hold a Negro exposition in Raleigh. The company is headed by Dr. J. H. Love, president; Professor C. N. Hunter, secretary; Rev. C. H. Williamson, commissioner general and C. N. Hoover, treasurer. W. H. H. PRESIDENT WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House DENVER, COLORADO, PRESIDENT WILLIA BLACKED FACE BRUTES. The vigorous refusal of Governor Brown of Georgia to pardon from the chain gang W. H. Mitchell, of Thomasville, one of the most prominent and richest men in South Georgia, and who, disguised as a Negro, kidnapped and attempted to ravish his wife's relative, blazes out in diamond letters the high character of Georgia's new governor and the degraded character of a large part of her white populace. In excited Cartersville, Georgia, are now confined William Golden and R. J. and John Worthington. all white, charged with criminal assaults on white girls, and Howard Stokely, a Negro accused of assaulting a Negro girl. Pitiful indeed is this picture of pure Anglo Saxon blood gone to seed. For forty years Georgia has ku kluxed innocent Negroes, and today the brutalized lynching race produces more rapist then the persecuted race at the ratio of four to one. Heavy indeed is the responsibility with which Governor Brown and respectable Georgians are weighted. Great to overwhelm ing is their problem to save their own race. Though every one of his splendid recommendations, including compulsory education, was turned down by the lawless legislature, though he be opposed at every turn by the ancient machine of grasping demagogues, Governor Brown's stalwart administration, backed by the awakening public, will prove a vertiable godsend to Georgia and the Southland. The question naturally arises how many of the "big, burley Negroes" accused of rape are blacked-faced brutes of the white race. How many of the one hundred Negroes lynched and the thousands more imprisoned last year in the South were innocent? Crimes, like chickens, come home to roost. Neither race pride nor race prejudice can suppress the truth much longer. There are many phases of Southern character of which for years we have contended the nation knows little or nothing. The black face brute is one of them. The South must deal now not only with the Negro kept in ignorance and goaded to crime, but as well with her white criminals of alleged respectable antecedents.—New York Age. RACE NEWS The colored fireman on the Tennessee railroad who was called into the office and presented with a new suit of clothes for bravery averting a collision was simply a case of gratitude. The Southern railroads bravely averted a general collision between their white and black employees. Mrs. Emma J. Wilson, a colored woman, has been elected president of the Colored Farmers' Conference at Maryville, S. C. In the early eighties, she started a school in a shed which has now grown into a large normal school with indus trial departments for boys. "In his steps" if not sex equality! had been successful, while thirty-five applicants were found deficient. There were 130 applicants to take the regular mid summer test at the State capitol during July, and the Board of Examiners have just completed their examination of the papers. Fifty-one of the ninety five successful applicants were Negroes. WANTS AMERICAN INTERFERENCE. Chicago, September 7.—A plea for American interference in Abyssinia, addressed to the Daily News of this city and signed by Prison We are pleased to note the active interest which our people are taking in the temperance movement throughout the United States. If a few more pastors of Afro American churches would lend their influence to the cause, backed up by the public school teachers and our business and professional men, an effective blow could be hurled against saloon keepers which would make the liquor traffic quake for fear. This can be done. Lawrenceville, Ga., September 7.—A notice giving warning to loafing Negroes to either "go to work or clear out" was found posted recently in the lobby of the postoffice here. It is signed by "the present cyclops of the N. K. C." By many the warning is taken as a joke. The postmaster, however, took charge of the notice and proposes to have postoffice inspectors investigate the matter. The governing class of Liberia consists of about 12,000 quasiAmerican Negroes and Mulattoes, with whom are affiliated some 30,000 native born and native bred "civilized" Liberians. The wilder tribes of the interior, it is estimated, include about 2,000,000 descendants of the aborigines. The rainfall averages 100 inches per annum. The rainy season begins in May, ending in November. The hottest month is December and the coolest is August. The temperature sometimes drops to 56 degrees. Montgomery, Ala., September 7.—Ninety five applicants for teacher's certificates from Montgomery county were last week notified by the State Board of Examiners that their recent papers NO.1 had been successful, while thirty-five applicants were found deficient There were 130 applicants to take the regular mid summer test at the State capitol during July, and the Board of Examiners have just completed their examination of the papers. Fifty-one of the ninety five successful applicants were Negroes. WANTS AMERICAN INTERFERENCE. Chicago, September 7.—A plea for American interference in Abyssinia, addressed to the Daily News of this city and signed by Prince Johannes Menelik of Adis Abbeda heir to the Abyssinian throne, was printed in the News a few days ago. The authenticity of the letter is vouched for by Professor D. D. Luckenbill, instructor in Assyriology at the University of Chicago. Professor Luckenbill stated that there was a sort of Young movement in every Oriental country at the present time. Abyssinia being no exception. The letter began: "Adis Abbeda, Abyssinia, Ethiopie, July 18, 1909 From H. R. H. Prince Johannes L. Menelik; to Chicago, Ill., U. S. A.; the News Manager." The writer speaks of the menance to his county of Germany, France, Italy and England, particularly the last named. He speaks of advising his father the Emporer against the latter's appeal to Germany for help America is the one land he can trust. "I am a prince of Africa," runs the letter, "and I now call to the world wide attention to help me in this great work, because if we left it in our native people's hands Africa shall go to hell and not to heaven. I must point out one thing. We don't want Germans or English or French in this country. But if America come in my lifetime, she and her subjects shall be welcome. But German people are no good to any colored people. England she is hell enough German forty million times worse! And on other hand, I do think we can get as goodes man in the state of America." Prince Johannes proposes a visit to America by way of China and Japan in futherance of his desire for Americans intervention to save his country from becoming a European protectorate.

REBUKETO PINCHOT THE SECRETARY IS REQUESTED TO DISCHARGE GLAVIS FROM GOVERNMENT SERVICE. Washington.—Richard A. Ballinger, secretary of the interior, has been completely exonerated by President William H. Taft of charges of fraud brought against him in a statement given out by the President in Albany, N. Y. The result of President Taft's investigation of the charges is regarded by official Washington as a direct rebuke to Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot, it being generally accepted here that the charges filed by L. R. Glavis, chief of the field division of the general land office, were, if not instigated by Pinchot, thoroughly approved by him. President Taft also authorizes Secretary Ballinger to dismiss Glavis from the service of the government. That this is merely the forerunner of a series of decapitations is taken for granted by those familiar with the situation. It is also pointed out that the charges were simply another move in the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy over the forest policies of the federal government. A sentence contained in the President's statement, refuting the allegation that Ballinger is out of sympathy with the policy of the administration in favor of the conservation of natural resources, is regarded as of special significance. This taken in connection with Pinchot's repeated utterances that he had been assured by Taft that his forestry policy met with the full approval of the administration is regarded as the precursor of a shakeup which may eventually reach even the head of the bureau. Peary Not So Sure Now. Battle Harbor, Labrador, Sept. 16.—(via Marconi Wireless to Cape Ray, N. F.)—Commander Robert E. Peary today talked further concerning his dash to the north pole. He dwelt particularly upon the observations taken and the movements of Harry Whitney, the sportsman of New Haven, Conn., who has been described as the bearer of records substantiating Dr. Frederick A. Cook's claim to have reached the pole April 21, 1908. "We took five observations prior to reaching the pole," Commander Peary said. "Two of them were made and worked out by the late Professor Ross Marvin, who prepared duplicate records in each case and duly signed the duplicate certificates. To guard against accident I took one set of these papers and Professor Marvin took the other. "When within a distance of 125 miles from the pole, the third observation was made by Captain Bartlett, who also signed the records and certificates in duplicate, he retaining one set and I the other. The fourth and fifth of these observations were made by myself, the last being taken five miles from the pole proper." "Was there more than one observation taken at the pole, and by whom?" the explorer was asked. "There were several observations," he replied, "and I took them all myself. They all agreed. You must understand that the pole is a theoretical point without length, breadth or thickness. Its actual location depends on the accuracy of the instruments employed and the conditions under which the observations are taken." "You have stated, Commander Peary, that a copy of your records and polar observations was wrapped in a piece of a silk American flag and deposited in an ice cavity at the pole. Did any person witness this act?" To this question Commander Peary declined to make any answer at present. Pinchot Will Stick. Washington, D. C.—Gifford Pinchot's friends in Washington declare today that he has no intention of resigning his position and never has had. They declare with emphasis that he will hold on to his office as long as he can, and if he goes out it will be because he is pushed. It is not known that the President has any intention of disturbing Pinchot at this time, though it is inferred from the character of the President's letter to Secretary Ballinger that he will hold Pinchot to strict observance of the letter of the law if he permits him to remain. Any infraction of this rule will mean trouble. Pinchot's friends say the President dare not dismiss him and intimate that if he does Pinchot will wage bitter war upon the administration. Grand Junction Gets Charter Grand Junction.—Grand Junction's charter which was drawn up under the leadership of former Senator James W. Bucklin was adopted by a vote of 740 to 215. The question of five or three commissioners, which was left to the option of the voters, was decided in favor of the five plan by a vote of 555 to 322. This point was one upon which the charter advocates themselves were divided, but Senator Bucklin had favored the five plan, and by its adoption he scored a double victory. STATE NEWS ITEMS Grand Junction fruit was not hurt by the light frost. Denver is to have a new hotel to cost $1,500,000. First snow of the season fell in the mountain region Sunday. President Taft day at Denver will be a rouser, from all indications. Wilkie Edwards, a Colorado Springs club man, recently died at San Francisco. "Denver," the burro presented to Tom Taggart, at the Democratic national convention in Denver, has foaled a young Denver, but its name is Pluto. Never in the history of Denver schools has the enrollment of school children been so large nor the lack of adequate accommodations for them felt so keenly as at the opening of the present school year. There are 28,932 enrolled. Following an abdominal operation E. J Sweet, seventy years old, a pioneer railroad man near Cripple Creek, died. He was brakeman on the Lorence & Cripple Creek's first train into the camp and had run steadily on that train ever since. By the first of the coming year there will be in operation in Denver a new life insurance company, organized under the laws of Colorado, with a paid-up capital of $250,000 and a board of directors composed entirely of residents of this state. From the effects of a bad beating received in a fight, it is alleged, Albert Kero, an aged taller living at 3337 Walnut street, died in St. Joseph's hospital, Denver, after undergoing an operation performed in hope of saving his life. The alleged assailant of the dead man is Eldridge M. Osborn, thirty-five years old, an agent for the Stiles collection agency. Gen. Edward Moody McCook, twice territorial governor of Colorado, the man who paved the way for Sherman's march to the sea, and former minister to Hawaii, died in Chicago Sept. 9. The end came at the Chicago Baptist hospital, after long suffering from Bright's disease. His brother, Gen. Anson G. McCook of New York, was at his bedside. A preacher who quit the pulpit to become a newspaper man, and who in turn quit that business to go back to the church, has been appointed pastor of the Methodist church of Goldfield, Colo. He is Rev. M. M. Eaton, formerly considered the most brilliant preacher and platform orator of Western New York. He left the pulpit because of failing health and returned when he became cured. Believing that her eighteen-year-old daughter was buried alive while in a state of coma, Mrs. J. H. Pfaff, wife of a dairyman living one mile east of Globeville, asked the city health department of Denver what she could do to relieve her mind of the horrible doubt hanging over it. She was advised to have the body disinterred from its grave in the Riverside cemetery. The Colorado Sunday School Association is making preparations to take a religious census of the entire state on October 1. Every county and town in the state is being thoroughly organized for this purpose. More volunteer helpers, however, are needed, and those willing to assist are requested to write to the secretary of the association, 208 Empire Building, Denver, for instructions. Colorado Springs people are making efforts to obtain a lease on the Brown Palace hotel in Denver, owned by the Stratton estate. The hotel has been conducted for years by N. Maxcy Tabor, whose lease expires October 31st. Tabor is anxious to retain the hotel. The hotel will be given a complete overhauling and made entirely modern. This work will begin October 1st and means the expenditure of $250,000. Congressman Martin at Pueblo received notice of the granting of a pension to Jose Ignacio Trujillo of Segundo, who served in the Third Colorado cavalry and was wounded in the famous battle of Sand Creek, November 29, 1864. For years the veteran has been unable to get a pension because the enlisting officer spelled his name as it is pronounced, "Troheo." He will now receive $3,800 back pay and $17 per month for life. Contracts have been signed in Denver by the Greeley-Poudre Irrigation district and the Laramie-Poudre Reservoir & Irrigation Company for the construction of the greatest irrigation system in the West, not excepting government projects completed or under construction. It will require expenditure of about $5,000,000. This is the largest enterprise undertaken by D. A. Camfield of this city, his associates of Denver and of the East. The project has been fully financed and construction of the reservoirs, ditches and the great tunnel through the Medicine Bow range to bring water from the Laramie river into the valley of the Poudre, will soon be commenced. The milkmen, who refused at first to comply with an ordinance in Denver compelling them to deliver milk in sealed jars or cans, have finally agreed to do so. Denver police have been asked to help locate Charles C. Connelly of Latoni, Ky. Major Cochran, father-in-law of Frank DeMantel, proprietor of Petersburg, and Henry Cook, deputy marshal of Petersburg, were each fined $25 and costs by Justice Stewart for resisting Colonel MacAlexander, a game warden, two weeks ago.

GENERAL PREJUDICE, commanding the forces of the enemies to the army of the United States, has conquered Fort Logan at last. Its gallant defenders have capitulated and moved to a new and more tenable position. General Prejudice has carried on a long campaign of opposition to government plans and orders at Fort Logan, in the destructive desire to make it a social adjunct to Denver. Protests and petitions to the war department have ruined the military aspect of the Fort, as a regimental barracks under independent government control. Perhaps the government has reached the conclusion that it is inadvisable to attempt to maintain a brigade post or regimental fort near a large city. The clamorous efforts of social toadyists to make a drawing room detachment of one portion of the army and camp-scrubbers of the remainder is not well calculated to harmonize with the requirements of military discipline. Fort Logan will only be a recruiting station hereafter. UNDER TWO FLAGS. A FEW weeks ago the press of the whole country was reviewing the conduct of United States Senator Stone, of Missouri, who, while taking supper on a dining car, en route from Washington to New York, assaulted a Negro waiter because his whisky order was served wrong and his meal order was too slowly executed. When the waiter showed a disposition to "talk back" following the Senator's abusive protests, the Senator called him a "black dog," slapped his face and went to the kitchen after the balance of the crew. "Make a fuss over me," was the Senator's demand expressed in Missouri cuss words, but the waiter used the telegraph and had him arrested at Baltimore and he was taken before a magistrate, who at the trial, a few days later, discharged the Senator on the ground that his act was justifiable. About the time that this circumstance happened, a somewhat similar incident was being enacted by two Americans in England. Several colored concert singers were about to take a train near London when they were halted by the loud protests of a white American named Hollings, who said he would as willingly ride with a skunk as with a black man. Gus Haston, a baritone singer, replied to him, and was told that if he was in a white man's country he would know what to expect. There are no Jim Crow cars in England and the white man's protests were useless. But when they arrived at their destination, Haston demanded an apology from the white American, who only added further insult, whereupon the colored American waded into the white American, and there, on neutral soil, gave the white man a good, old-fashioned beating with his fists. Haston was commended in England, but far more justifiably than Senator Stone was commended in Baltimore. The common rights of men, upon the infringement of which they are justified in using their physical powers, get pretty general recognition wherever a sense of fairness rules men, but wherever the weak and cowardly insolence of personal presumption and assumed dignity is coupled with the knowledge of judicial advantage or overpowering social prejudice, there is no measure or regard for manhood, even in the courts. We often wonder what one of these violently indignant white men would do if he were suddenly lifted out of his protected surroundings and set down with his indignation among a hundred or more sensible Negroes, who were the undisputed lords and rulers of the place. He would get fair play, we believe, but would he be as brave as the average Negro who faces conditions like these continually? THE GREATEST OF THESE THERE are not many great sermons preached on the subject of charity in our pulpits these days, although social conditions seem to point out the need for them. There are sermons on Faith which stir the pews to emphatic declarations of their unfaltering belief in every requisite of the creed. There are sermons on Hope which lift the buoyant heart to the highest pinnacle of the imagination and stir the downcast soul to its tenderest depth. There are sermons on Charity, too, but they are more logical, or at the best, sympathetic, and do not appeal to the passions of hearers like those upon the two former subjects. Faith and Hope each denote an inward possession of the character of a personal asset, which gives the believer the sense of the possession of a great benefit, for which nothing else in life could be satisfactorily substituted, but Charity denotes the giving away of one's possessions and the distributing and dividing up of one's personal benefits among those who do not possess them, and especially the dividing up and giving away of our means, our goods and our labor. Faith, Hope and Charity are the three graces of Christian conduct, and yet, in the eye of the Divine One, "the greatest of these is Charity." But charity is not the more living up to the letter of the law. It is the realization that doing good for others—for the race, for the world—is the highest and truest aim of human life. The effort to bring others, who are less fortunate than we are, up to or toward the standard of our own enjoyment of life's benefits; the realization of the correctness of the aim, and the ever-present possibility of its achievement, and above all, the carrying out of the aim with true consistency, become a source of greater satisfaction and happiness to men than any mere sense of personal possession can ever be. Hence, we were not surprised when recently we heard a colored minister, of unusual breadth of thought, declare that our churches do not understand or practice the true Christian precepts. That the churches should establish and foster charitable and semi-industrial institutions for the young, the old, the unfortunate, and the infirm, was his plea. That practical Christianity, imbued with the idea of helpfulness to others, through the organized and consistent sharing of our own possesisons and means, rather than the following of wasteful and selfish fashions of worship and the hugging to our own bosoms of the selfish knowledge of our possesessions, would be better for us, for our race and better for the church. Our charitable institutions, established and maintained by our own efforts, mark the true degree of our progress as a people. Reflects in Work Despite Yourself By JOHN A. HOWLAND OOKING yourself over this morning in introspective mood are you likely to be classed among large and seemingly growing list of more or less unwilling workers? L Don't try to dodge the issue. Hold the mirror up to yourself and don't try to soften the image in the glass. You can't afford to do so. Your employer can't afford it. Asking yourself this question, look at your image in all frankness and read the truth from that which the mirror shows you. If any trace of "grouch" appears in the face looking back into yours it is up to you to get busy in taking the kinks out of this counterfeit presentment of yourself. It is either your clinic or your funeral. This unwillingness in the worker who has accepted a position that calls for him to work has a single chief source of origin. The worker simply is dissatisfied with the conditions under which he is working. One thing, two things, a score of things may be lending to this dissatisfaction, but whatever the cause it requires only ordinary intelligence to disclose that the dissatisfied worker not only is not satisfying himself with his work but he is not satisfying his employer. It is doubtful if this unthinking young man has an appreciation of how unsatisfactory his dissatisfied efforts may be in a working organization. Accordingly as he is dissatisfied that dissatisfaction must find outward expression among his fellows. He could not conceal the fact if he tried. Facial expression, eye, ear, voice and movement every hour in the day are indicative of his dissatisfaction. His work reflects it in spite of himself. And when occasion arises when criticism of this work may be expected, how harsh and blunt and unsparing this criticism may be. All employers are not just men. Injustices are worked against men who under the square deal might be model employes. If something is constitutionally wrong with Jones' employers and Jones can see no way to remedy the condition Jones owes it to himself to get out of his place of employment in search of a better opportunity. For whatever the source of the dissatisfied condition under which he works Jones cannot accomplish anything while bearing the burden of the handi- cap! It is impossible! A. H. But in my experience of men in the capacity of employers I can say that in a case of reasonable doubt of where blame rests in such cases an employer who is worth working for always is wise enough to lend an ear to a manly appeal from a man who is worth working for him. If you are "grouchy" get busy and find out the cause of it. Then you can't attack the cause too soon for either your own or your employer's best interests. It may be true that the "housewife who systematizes her work finds ample time to improve her mind," always providing that she has only herself and her husband for whom to keep house. But most of us do not remain long in this ideal state. Children come, and even one child is a sad blow to system. If one ever has a small baby to care for she is lucky if she gets all her afternoons free—to devote to the baby. I have been a business woman and can claim some success. I also believe in systematizing work, but I do not join in condemning the woman who finds housework Care of the Babies and Housework By AMY L. HEUPLE It may be true that the "housewife who systematizes her work finds ample time to improve her mind," always providing that she has only herself and her husband for whom to keep house. But most of us do not remain long in this ideal state. Children come, and even one child is a sad blow to system. If one ever has a small baby to care for she is lucky if she gets all her afternoons free—to devote to the baby. I have been a business woman and can claim some success. I also believe in systematizing work, but I do not join in condemning the woman who finds housework hard. When there is even one small child the best-laid plans are apt to "gang aft agley." Let us say nothing of our broken nights' rest, nor of the upsets that childish illnesses occasion, when even the dishwashing gets left to the man of the family while we turn in to get a few hours' sleep. The housework doesn't get done then, and it takes time to catch up again. But even the ordinary, everyday work where there are two or three small children—cooking and washing, baking and mending, making perhaps all of the small garments and taking a delight in doing it—even this will hardly give us our afternoons free. Has the reader ever tried to buy a hat with a small baby in her arms? I have, for we have no convenient grandmother. Let her see what a pleasure it is to go shopping with a child of two or three and see how successful she will be. For my part, without children I would prefer the business world, but I have made my choice and I am not sorry for it. I work a good deal harder than when my hours were nine to five, with a short day Saturday and Sunday free, but there are compensations that the childless housewife lacks. I regret I have little time to improve my mind—what time I take for reading I often begrudge. Things will be better by and by, and meanwhile let me find pleasure in my babies. Here and now we have them and nothing else—not even the systematizing of our housework—is so important. "I have had a quarrel with my fiance. I am sure he was in the wrong, but I think he wants to make up, but is too proud to say so. Do you advise me to say the first word?" Sweet Effects of "Making-Up" a Quarrel By BETTY VINCENT So runs the wait of a very forlorn young woman. Certainly, I advise her to speak the first word, and I say the same thing to every young woman similarly situated. So long as two people love each other, it doesn't matter in the least which is the first to make up. Generally it is the superior person who makes the first advance. And there is comfort for twenty apologies in being the superior person. Men are a good deal like children in the matter of misbehavior. They have to be coddled into admitting they were in the wrong. And the wrong or right of a quarrel doesn't matter when two people are willing to forget it. I don't mean that the woman should always make the first advances. But the less discussion of a quarrel there is after it is over the better. Talking over the cause of the fuss too often leads to its renewal. The best way is to let things simmer down.

Mr. J. D. Rice, who has served this position very creditably since the organization of the League last April, will leave for Gammon Theological Seminary September 27th. Miss Carr will make a splendid president as she has done quite a deal of Epworth League work among our white churches. The services were well attended Sunday morning. The Holy Spirit seemed to have been with us from the beginning of the service. One was happily converted during the sermon Mr. Thomas A. Cox. His name was added to the growing church roll. Two others were fellowshiped into the church, Mr. Hausea Smith and Mrs. Lottie B. Martin. This brings the membership up to 84. We are growing. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Alcest Campbell was baptised at their residence last Sunday afternoon by the pastor. His name is Reese Alcest Campbell and the mother has given him to the ministry. The second quarterly conference will be held Sunday. There will be Communion services in the afternoon. The Presiding Elder will preach. You are cordially invited to attend. There will be preaching services at Scotts all next week. We invite our friends to come and assist us in this meeting for the salvation of souls. The Rev. W. McDonald will preach both morning and evening at Scotts Sunday. Come out and hear him. He hails from Colorado Springs. He is the able pastor of the People's M. E. Church at that place. The Epworth League held forth last Sunday evening as it rained the preaching service out. The young people had a grand time singing the songs of Zion. Prayer service has continued all the past week with tangible results. The Church is greatly revived. Those who led the services were Mr. W. S. Evans, Mrs. Anna McPherson, Mrs. W. A. Bobo, J. D. Rice, F. D. McPherson, assisted by the pastor, who delivered short talks on "Preparation for a Revival." The Ladies' Aid held their semi-annual election last Thursday evening. The following are, the names of the new officers: Mrs. Mary E. Evans, president; Mrs. Anna Rice, vice-president; Mrs. Dora E. Wallace, secretary; Mrs. Anna McPherson, treasurer. A vote of thanks was given to the old officers who had served so well during the past six months. Refreshments were served after the election. The Woman's Home Missionary Society was called to order for the first time last Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Anna McPherson is the untiring president. They have planned to do great things in the future. TO COLOR MEERSCHAUM PIPE. Some Rules Which the Smoker Must Follow If He Would Get the Best Results. The following information should appeal to smokers: Ordinarily a meerschaum pipe is boiled for coloring in a preparation of wax, which is absorbed, and a thin coating of wax is held on the surface of the pipe and made to take a high polish. Under the wax is retained the oil of tobacco which is absorbed by the pipe, and its hue grows darker in proportion to the tobacco used. A meerschaum pipe at first should be smoked slowly and before a second bowlful is lighted the pipe should cool off. This is to keep the wax as far up to the bowl as possible, and rapid smoking will overheat, driving the wax off and leaving the pipe dry and raw. A new pipe never should be smoked outdoors in extremely cold weather. Fill the pipe and smoke down about one-third, or to the height to which you wish to color. Leave the remainder of the tobacco in the pipe and do not empty or disturb it for several weeks, or until the desired color is obtained. When smoking, put fresh tobacco on the top and smoke to the same level. When once burned the pipe can not be satisfactorily colored unless the burned portion is removed, and the surface again treated by the process by which meerschaum is prepared. The coloring is produced by the action of the smoke upon the oils and wax which are superficially on the exterior of the pipe, and are applied in the same process of manufacture. LOCAL NOTICES.

President Taft and party is coming to the State Fair at Pueblo on Wednesday, Sept. 22. He will see the largest display of fruit he ever saw in his life; he will see the largest and best display of horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs ever exhibited in a western state; he will meet the finest people (providing you are there, dear reader) on earth and he will know what real western hospitality means, for he will mix with the people out in the open. The Colorado State Fair management desires you to attend the fair this year, because it promises to be by far the best in every respect ever given. It has cost the citizens of Pueblo nearly half a million dollars to establish this fair and now that it is a good one everybody is cordially invited to attend. Then, too, President Taft is coming here especially to see you, to talk to you and get acquainted with the people of a state that is making the dry plains a mighty farming district. Pueblo extends a cordial invitation to everybody, and the things to be seen at the State Fair will more than repay you for all the time and money spent in the visit. If you have anything that you think other people would like to see, bring or send it to the fair. There is a prize for almost everything under the sun. At night there will be plenty of outdoor amusements, and on Wednesday night the Sun Worshipers will make a parade of their order which will eclipse anything ever seen, consisting of an electrical display unequaled.

The wood is simply a structural under layer. That is as it should be. Unprotected wood will not well withstand weather. But paint made of pure white lead and linseed oil is an invulnerable armor against sun and rain, heat and cold. Such paint protects and preserves, fortifying the perishable wood with a complete metallic casing. And the outside of the house is the looks of the house. A well-constructed building may be greatly depreciated by lack of painting or by poor painting. National Lead Company have made it possible for every building owner to be absolutely sure of pure white lead paint before applying. They do this by putting upon every package of their white lead their Dutch Boy Painter trademark. That trademark is a complete guarantee. SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.

"I was told of an extraordinary incident wherein the main figure, an economical housewife, exhibited, under trying circumstances, a trait quite characteristic of her. It seems that she had by mistake taken a quantity of poison—mercurial poison—the antidote for which, as all should know, comprises the whites of eggs. When this antidote was being administered, the order for which the unfortunate lady had overheard, she managed to murmur, although almost unconscious. "Mary, Mary! Save the yolks for the puddings!"—Tit-Bits. Troubles of People on Venus. Inhabitants of Venus, if there are any, must feel it extremely difficult to establish units of time. Venus always turns the same face toward the sun; so the planet has no day, and the lack of a moon deprives it of a month. Finally, it has no year, for its axis of rotation is perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, and the latter is almost circular. PRESSED HARD Coffee's Weight on Old Age. When prominent men realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools in North Carolina says: "My mother since her early childhood, was an inveterate coffee drinker and had been troubled with her heart for a number of years, and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making an official visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of the coffee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family liked it so well, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. "I know Postum has benefited my self and the other members of the family, but not in so marked a degree as in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing."

THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND OTHER COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROG RESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN NEWS. Reports of serious damage to the wheat crop of Argentina by locusts caused a sharp bulge in wheat prices at Chicago. The 26,000 ton battleship to be built by the New York Shipbuilding company will be known as the Arkansas, and that by William Cramps Sons & Company as the Wyoming. The contracts for these ships were let several days ago. Four men were drowned at Cordova, Alaska, when a small boat, containing a party of five descending from the mine of George Esterly on the Nazina river, was swamped. The only one to escape drowning was Hamelin Andrus, son of Congressman John E. Andrus of Yonkers, N. Y. The lost men were James Hinto, Robert Furst. Benjamin Mullendorf and David Piper. The biggest gold stampede in Alaska since the Tanana rush in 1903, is now in full swing to the creeks of the Iditarod, a tributary of the Innoko river, 150 miles from Fairbanks. Thousands of persons have gone to the Iditarod during the summer. Nowhere are the new gold fields deeper than twenty feet, and every man has a chance to make a stake, there being a wide extent of gold bearing country. General sorrow is felt in railroad circles at the news that Frank Dr. Brown, local treasurer of the Union Pacific Railway Company, at Omaha, had died Monday night from an attack of pneumonia. Mr. Brown was well known among railroad men, and also among a great many other people of social and financial prominence. He had been an employee of the Union Pacific for the past forty years and made frequent visits to this territory. GENERAL NEWS. Miss Sarah Lathrop Herrshoff, the nineteen-year-old daughter of J. B. Francis Herrshoff, a younger member of the celebrated Herrshoff family or Rhode Island, and a millionaire, visited the city hall in New York, with her fiance, Signor Lulgi Masnaba of Bergamo, Italy, a former jockey both in America and abroad, who obtained a license permitting them to be married. J. P. Morgan, Junior, was elected to the late E. H. Harriman's place on the board of directors of the National City Bank of New York. By Wall Street the election is regarded as one of the most significant of the week's financial developments, presumably indicating that harmonious relations exist between the Morgan and the Kuhn-Loeb-Standard Oil groups of financiers. The gross earnings of the railroads of the United States for the year ending June 30, 1909, were $2,437,385,841, according to the figures compiled by the bureau of railway news and statistics from the monthly reports of the interstate commerce commission as given out at Chicago. The operating expenses were $1,611,927,766; taxes, $88,961,475, and net operating income, $736,496,600. General Porfirio Diaz, president of Mexico, celebrated his eighteenth birthday September 15th. He received greetings from many foreign countries. A body of workmen expressed the hope that Diaz might rule Mexico for many years and their enthusiasm moved the president to tears. President Diaz has occupied his office for thirty-two years. He has been renominated for the term commencing in 1910 and ending six years later. Mme. Eusapia Palladino, an Italian medium who has aroused interest in European scientific circles and about whom books and many scientific articles have been written, will come to New York next month and submit to a series of tests under the direction of well known men identified with the work of the American Society of Psychical Research. Under close restriction Mme. Palladino will be asked to produce the phenomena which have caused a sensation abroad, causing tables to rise in the air without apparent contact, chairs to dance jigs and drawing from the unknown void the hands and faces of dead persons warm and with the texture of flesh. The stock markets at New York narrowed to a professional rut Tuesday. Efforts were made to keep speculative interest alive by concentrating operations in one or two of the usual speculative favorites and a few novelities, but the response of the general list was languid. After the body of Lieut. James N. Sutton, Jr., the marine officer who met his death about two years ago at Annapolis, was exhumed at Arlington cemetery recently an autopsy disclosed the fact that no bones were broken, although a contusion was found over the right eye. Lord Tweedmouta, former lord president of the Council, is reported to be dying at London. Lord Kitchener, inspector general of the Mediterranean forces, has been made a field marshal of the British army. Vesuvius is active again. Guides report rumblings followed by slight seismic shocks. The small internal craters have been unusually active in the last few days. With plain cord wood as fuel, the wall sided, sow shaped, stovepipe funneled craft in which Robert Fulton first navigated the waters of the Hudson river under steam propulsion 102 years ago, came to life again recently when the reconstructed Clermont, built for the Hudson-Fulton celebration, had her official speed trial from Mariner's Harbor, Staten Island, to Robbins' reef light. There was issued by the English Board of Education recently a syllabus respecting physical exercises in elementary schools which is receiving the warmest commendations from British educationalists. This syllabus is regarded as in a measure constituting the first official recognition in this country of the fact that it is not only the mind, but also the body, of the child that requires development in a system of national education. Old-time pedagogues might hold up their hands in horror at the role which the board of education now assigns to the schoolmaster, who is expected to bestow as much attention on the care of his pupils' bodies as on the training of their intelligence. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Dora Wilson was appointed postmaster at Higbee, Colorado, vice F. Warren. Elinor L. Church and Rjph D. Hawthorne of Denver, were appointed stenographers in the general land office. The Senate finance committee at Washington has maintained in the tariff bill the rates on collars and cuffs provided in the present law. Secretary Ballinger emphatically denies that he intends to resign. Ballinger is confined to his room on account of throat trouble. Shipbuilders in this country will hereafter be allowed to build their ships from foreign materials imported free. This will enable our shipyards to enter into competition with the world in making battleships and other vessels. The fee for registration of mail will be increased from 8 to 10 cents after November 1, 1909, according to an order signed by Postmaster General Hitchcock. The maximum indemnity allowed for loss of registered articles has also been increased from $25 to $50 by the order. Additional appointments of census supervisors by President Taft were announced by Census Director Durand. Herbert J. Baird, a lawyer, has been selected as supervisor for the Second Colorado district. He has had previous experience in census work. The Third Colorado district will be under the direction of Charles F. Hamlin of Salida, Colorado, registrar of the United States land office at his home. According to Judge S. H. Cowan of Fort Worth, Texas, attorney for the National Live Stock Association and the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association, the country is confronted with unheard of prices for beef this winter. Judge Cowan says the cost of living will show continued increase next winter and points out that the cattle market is now short a million head of cattle. "The price of beef," said he, "will increase the coming winter to a point now unheard of, for the demand is much greater than the supply." So widespread has interest in the strange malady, pellagra, become among medical authorities, that Surgeon General Wyman of the public health and marine hospital service has decided to issue a weekly bulletin dealing exclusively to developments of the disease. While declining to go on record that pellagra is not communicable, Surgeon General Wyman declared that he had observed nothing in the disease to show that it is a contagious one. The opinion among the medical authorities in Italy, where the disease has existed for a long time, Dr. Wyman stated, is that it is non-contagious. A story of an Illinois boy going West, becoming a cowboy and making a single-handed hold-up of a stage coach with six passengers, figures In a pardon granted by President Taft in the case of L. A. Potter. Potter lived at Salem, Ill., and was convicted of holding up the stage, in Texas, he was sentenced, May 20, 1885. He has served almost twenty-four years, partly at Chester, Ill., and latterly at the Leavenworth, Kan., penitentiary. J. W. White, president of the German National bank of Mason, Tex., and wife, who were passengers, urged the pardon on the ground that the sentence was excessive, that no one was hurt, that the prisoner had been sufficiently punished, and that he took only $9 and a watch from the passengers. Potter is fifty years old and broken in health. He will be released immediately. Consul J. E. Haven of Roubaix, France, in a report to the State Department, tells of the International Harvester Company of Chicago purchasing twenty-five acres in the suburbs of Roubaix and of their beginning the construction of factories there to produce general agricultural implements for consumption in French territory. The consul also says that another factory is being erected at Neuss, Germany, and that the cost and working capital of the two plants will reach nearly $6,000,000. Ask Her This Question "Do you know of any woman who ever received any benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?" If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experience with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write and ask her. Houston, Texas.—"When I first began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but nothing did me any good. "For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when I read an advertisement of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. "My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. "I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't regret it, for it will surely cure you."—Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks, 819 Cleveland St., Houston. Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

Bitter Words Found Written on a Dollar Bill by the Receiving Teller. "Yes, I collect queer bank notes," said the receiving teller. "I've been doing it for years. You know there are some very odd things written on bank notes sometimes." He pointed to a one-dollar bill hung in a frame of black oak on the wall. "Read that," he said. "And I've got queerer ones than that even in my collection." On the bank note in red ink was written, in a feminine hand: "You have robbed me of all the rest, and of my soul also. May this burn your hand when you touch it. May all you buy with it be accursed. You have the last. Are you now satisfied? Murderer!" The collector sighed sentimentally. "Think of the tragedy," he said, "that may lie hid behind those simple little phrases, eh?" Singular and Plural "Whenever she gets to thinking how much they're in debt it affects her nerves."

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. MUSH HOUR ON THE 'PHONE Sweethearts Select the Time Between Eight and Nine O'clock in the Evening. The crusty man was hopping mad. "Can't get a telephone," he said. "Every booth in the place is occupied and has been occupied for the last half hour. I never heard so many long-winded conversations going on at one time." "Between eight and nine o'clock in the evening," volunteered the operator, sweetly, "there are more overtime telephone conversations registered than in any other in the 24." "What is the cause of it?" snapped the crusty man. "Sweethearts," said the girl. "For various reasons He and She cannot meet every evening, so on the off nights they satisfy their longing by talking over the telephone. It takes a long time to say all the things they want to say. Under the circumstances other people ought to be patient." "Sweethearts! Humph!" scoffed the crusty man, and he didn't look patient, not one bit. CUTICURA CURED HIM. Eczema Came on Legs and Ankles—Could Not Wear Shoes Because Of Bad Scaling and Itching. "I have been successfully cured of dry eczema. I was inspecting the removal of noxious weeds from the edge of a river and was constantly in the dust from the weeds. At night I cleansed my limbs but felt a prickly sensation. I paid no attention to it for two years but I noticed a scum on my legs like fish scales. I did not attend to it until it came to be too itchy and sore and began getting two running sores. My ankles were all score and scabby and I could not wear shoes. I had to use carpet and felt slippers for weeks. I got a cake of the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment. In less than ten days I could put on my boots and in less than three weeks I was free from the confounded itching. Capt. George P.

The old Greeks and Romans were great admirers of health and strength; their pictures and statuary made the muscles of the men stand out like cords. As a matter of fact we have athletes and strong men—men fed on fine strength making food such as Quaker Scotch Oats—that would win in any contest with the old Roman or Greek champions. 2 It's a matter of food. The finest food for making strength of bone, muscle and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker Scotch Oats is the best because it is pure, no husks or stems or black specks. Farmers' wives are finding that by feeding the farm hands plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats they get the best results in work and economy.

IN COLORADO MOVEMENT BEING MADE TO HAVE SUMMER CAPITAL ESTABLISHED HERE. FREE FROM ALL DANGER FREE FROM ALL DANGER EASTERN PAPER SSUPPORT THE PROPOSITION AND DENVER MAY GE TIT. Denver.—During the last few years Colorado has been the best advertised spot in the world and this new suggestion seems to be one of those happy inspirations which will make people talk about Denver and the state in all parts of the Union. But many members of the exchange are serious in their belief that the citizens here should go after the national government to secure a summer capitol in Denver. President Conway of the Denver Chamber of Commerce turned an editorial from the Chicago Journal over to the secretary to be read upon the subject at a recent meeting. After discussing the presence of Senator N. W. Aldrich, who is called chief lobbyist for the tariff barons, at Beverly, the President's summer home, the article advocates the establishment of a summer capitol where the regular business of the government may be carried on if the trusts intend to force an all-the-year-around federal activity. Colorado is suggested in glowing terms, and also the suggestion that the eastern legislators may discover that a considerable portion of the country lies west of Pennsylvania. The editorial concludes as follows: "Colorado is the home of the greatest 'boosters' in the world. We are surprised that they have not already started in to secure a federal summer capitol. Once they grasp the possibilities doubtless they will build and equip the necessary halls and offices and donate them free." Mr. Leet then read the resolutions he introduced before the Transmississippi Commercial Congress advocating Denver as the capital of the nation because of its inaccessibility of attack and weather favorable to the transaction of business all the year around. He quoted from an editorial in the Pittsburg Dispatch, which says: "The proposal of that Colorado man to have the national capitol removed to Denver has started something in the West. Secretary Ballinger gave voice to the idea on his return" to Washington, and every western man in office at the capitol is out indorsing the proposition that if there is to be a summer capitol it ought to be west of the Mississippi." Bandits Hold Up Train. Leadville, Colo., Sept. 16.—A daring attempt to rob the second section of Denver & Rio Grande No. 5 passenger train was made about 11 o'clock tonight four miles west of Malta, a small station near Leadville. The express car was dynamited but according to the trainmen, no booty was secured. It is believed that the five men who were engaged in the holdup crawled on the two engines of No. 5 at Malta. Engineer Smith of the first engine was told to hammer on the door and order the express messenger, Dan Shea, of Denver, to open it. Shea refused to open the door; a charge of dynamite was placed under it and the door blown open. Three of the robbers rushed in, covering the express messenger with their revolvers. He was ordered to open the door but said he could not. Several charges of dynamite were then placed under the safe but with out result except to completely wreck the interior of the car. After firing a parting volley the robbers disappeared in the darkness. One trainman meantime had reached Malta, and Sheriff Campbell with a posse at once started for the scene. Organize in Mesa County. Permanent organization of the Mesa County Business Men's association has been effected, the following officers being elected: S. G. McMullin, Grand Junction, president; John D. Reeder, Palisade, vice president; H. A. Lee, Fruita, treasurer, and W. C. Meserve, Whitewater, secretary. The object of the association is to supplement and co-ordinate the work of the various chambers of commerce throughout the county. Accidentally Shot Grand Junction.—John Anseson, formerly a business man here, accidentally shot himself today on his ranch near Whitewater, and is reported in a serious condition. Mrs. Esther Kitchell, probably the oldest woman in Laramie county, celebrated her ninety-sixth birthday at the home of her son, Aaron Kitchell, in Fort Collins. She enjoys excellent health, is quite active and has full possession of all her faculties. She has 70 descendants. The contract for the Camfield Court building at Greeley has been let for $74,582 to S. F. Gordon of Greeley. The building when completed will cost about $100,000. The building is being put up as a business block by D. A. Camfield & Co. They Are Used for Various Decorative Purposes by Dwellers in Suburbs. "A great advantage of living in the suburbs," said the ex-flat dweller, "is the chance it affords of picking up old boilers to use for decorative purposes about your ground. In the city you rarely see any of these discarded appurtenances of the kitchen, but no large open space in the suburb is without a few. "As soon as a boiler wears out in the suburban home and becomes a menace it is promptly hauled away to some vacant lot, to lie there until some one decides he can make use of it in fixing up his grounds. Of course, in the city there is nothing for an old kitchen boiler when it has to leave its place by the kitchen range but the junk shop, but in the country they scorn to treat them that way. "It may surprise some flat dwellers to know that they are prized highly by some suburbanites as gate posts. Stood up on end and painted red they make a very neat entrance to yard in the opinion of a good many folks who seem to have hit on this idea in my town. If the crop of old boilers is good it is possible, I have found, to make a hedge of them. "Some people, I find, prefer them unpainted, but it strikes me that paint improves them, particularly if the shade harmonizes with the color of the house. One man, whose home I have to pass on my way to the train, has a row of old boilers planted alongside his house to take the place of a fence. "Of course, they are more popular in the poorer quarters, but even others find a use for them, as for instance a man who has found that they make excellent receptacles for flowers. This man picked up two boilers from the nearest vacant lot, cut them open and placed them lengthwise in the ground in his yard. He has filled them with earth and has just put his seeds in." The Home. Ideally, every house should have an entire daily bath of sun-dried air. The primary purpose of a cellar is to insure dryness by separating the house from the ground. Food that spoils readily must not be placed in the cellar. If you are doubtful about your cream keeping sweet, heat it to almost boiling, put in tightly corked glass bottles and set on the ice to cool. In this way it will not sour nearly so soon. If your paint has been marred by careless scratching of matches, try rubbing it with the finest sand paper. One housekeeper advises the use of half a lemon for removing match marks from paint. "Red" meats are less liable to contamination than fish or chicken. The latter should not be eaten if there is the least suspicion of odor about them. Beef slightly tainted, though disagreeable, will not produce ptomaine poisoning. Vegetables, like beets and green corn, that contain sugar do not keep well and should be eaten as soon as possible after they are picked. The housekeeper who goes to market rather than order by telephone will find she gets better things for less money. The dishwasher who would get through quickly invests in a soapshaker and a chain for cleaning pots and pans. She also has on hand over the sink a box of borax and a bottle of ammonia for cutting grease. Sandwiches prepared in advance of the serving time can be kept as fresh as when first spread by wrapping them in a napkin wrunk out of hot water and then placing in a cool place. Do not destroy any net from old discarded lace curtains. Cut to squares of desired size and stitch together. They make excellent washcloths and they are remarkably durable. Sew them around the edge on the sewing machine. For School Children Supply the youngsters going to school with folded paper cornucopias, which come in sealed packages for a small sum. These are used for drinking cups instead of those found in public places. It is wise to keep a supply of these paper cornucopias on hand for those who travel and for the shopper when in the city for a day. Teach the children to make these useful little drinking cups from clean white paper, and there will be no danger of contracting disease from a drinking cup used by every one who passes by. Some Uses for Lemons. A teaspoonful of lemon juice in a small cup of black coffee will drive away an attack of bilious headache. A little lemon juice rubbed on the face, arms and neck at night will not only whiten but soften the skin. A paste made of magnesia and lemon juice applied to the fact and hands when lying down for 15 minutes will bleach the skin beautifully. Hot lemon juice and sugar (or hot lemonade) for a cough has rarely been known to fail of giving relief. Green Pea Pancakes Boil one pint of green peas, mash while hot and mix in one tablespoonful of butter, salt and pepper. Beat two eggs and add to the mixture; then stir in one cupful of milk and four tablespoonfuls of prepared flour; whip to a stiff batter. Fry on a hot griddle. Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.

Not Ashamed of Economy. Discussing England and the English from an American point of view, a recent American writer in England observes: "Nobody, from the king of England down, is either ashamed or afraid to be economical. Here a man or a woman is thought to be a fool or a vulgarian who is not careful of expenditure, while in America our waiters have been clever enough to make it appear that economy is mean, and as a nation we suffer accordingly. We are fools to be fooled in this manner." A Queer Malady. Sprigg went to a noted physician to ask advice as to his health. In pompous tones he addressed the doctor: "I—ah— have come to—ah—ask you—ah—what—what is—ah—the doosid mattaw with me—ah!" "I find that your heart is affected," said the physician, gravely. "Oh—ah—anything else—ah?" "Yes; your lungs are affected, too." "Anything—ah—else—ah?" "Yes; your manners are also affected."

Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ill., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Cha. H. Hutcher.

Suggestions for Fall Work. For some time past there have been many letters from both old and young asking for suggestions that will be helpful in club, school and Sunday school work. In most instances the social side is emphasized with a request that some scheme to make money be combined with it. Until the time comes when we all set aside a proportion of our income for charitable work on the same business basis that we regulate our other expenses there will always be demands for ideas with which to cajole the almighty dollar into empty treasuries and sugar-coat the pill of getting money to keep the wheels of great charity organizations turning. True, there is the social side that we all need and is worthy of consideration. Owing to lack of space I have condensed these schemes into as few words as possible, leaving them to be enlarged by those who try them. For a "Watermelon party," which is to be given by a church society, the invitations had this unique feature: There was a pen and ink sketch of a man, under which were these: "Alone, admission 15 cents;" next a sketch of a couple with ten cents each; a third sketch showed a man with two girls and the words "five cents each." A novelty was a "Popcorn" social, the admission was an ear of popcorn; then there was hot buttered popcorn, popcorn balls; the room was decorated with ears of popcorn in festoons, and there was hot corn meal mush served with cream and sugar in quaint little blue bowls, which were purchased at ten cents each as souvenirs. Then there was a regular old-fashioned corn-hulling bee, the company being divided into sides. The corn was then put in bags, a pound to each and it was distributed to the various charitable institutions where there were children. An easy way of saving money is carried out by a class of boys who are in school; they save every penny bearing the year date of their birth. As these pennies are collected they are turned into a common treasury and given at the end of the year to a charity that all decide on. As most of them have enlisted the services of their family and friends in watching for these special pennies, there is usually quite a sum collected with very little trouble. Twelve young matrons organized a magazine club in this way: Each one subscribed for a periodical, the choice being made at a meeting in November; these were exchanged and all finally collected at one house. When there were 12 of each the members met, tied them in piles and sent them to various institutions, a goodly share going to the jail and settlements, where they were distributed where they would be most appreciated. A Bon Voyage Party. For sending the invitations make little steamer rugs from felt or plaid flannel, cutting the pieces about 3 by 12 inches. Fringe the two long ends with a pair of sharp scissors, place the note of invitation inside and roll up with straps cut from an old pair of kid gloves. Attach a card bearing the guests name and address with "Please unpack and answer at once." Nothing is more appropriate for a centerpiece than a toy steamship or one made of flowers. Ship funnels made of cardboard are good at the four corners of the table filled with blooming "smoke" tree. The name of the ship should be on it and the proper lines on the funnel. These, with ropes twisted about the ship caught at intervals with gilded anchors and "compass" place cards will complete a very attractive table. The gifts may be presented in a traveling bag brought in by a small boy dressed as a porter with the name of the steamship company on his cap. The shops are filled with articles suitable for the traveler by land or sea, and it is quite the custom to honor a departing friend with a farewell party. Two New Showers: I had a long talk with a bride the other day. She was just home from the honeymoon trip and was unpacking the boxes of wedding presents which had been forwarded from her home city. She showed me all the pretty things, many of them were given at "showers." The "Bag" and "Apron" shower seemed to have pleased her most of all. There were aprons suitable for every occasion, so she won't be like the little bride I know who when she came to earth and went to prepare a dainty Saturday noon luncheon for her husband found that she did not possess a single apron, and her first purchase when she went to town was a supply of these useful protectors. Then there were bags; such an array—laundry bags, shoe bags, a silk bag to protect the hat when traveling, work bags and bags for putting away winter clothes in summer time. A thoughtful grandmother had sent muslin bags for "Tom's" evening clothes, Tuxedo, and overcoats. The favors for this shower were small bags of white satin filled with rice. For a Tennis Party Two sisters who live in the country and have a finely equipped tennis court issued the following invitations, including those of their friends who did not play tennis, too. For those they had seats and rugs near the court with tables for serving tea and frappe. Great Japanese umbrellas on very long handles made charming sheltered places and there were quantities of lanterns strung between the trees that added much to the decorations. There's going to be a tournament Upon the Whitneys' court. And if your presence you will lend We'll surely have good sport. Two until six o'clock. Saturday, September 11. MADAME MERRI. (Copyright, 1909.) IN VOGUE Silk surfaces for the early fall show figures, flowers and dots. Plaid mousseline sashes in gorgeous colors are used upon the white lingerie gown. A biscuit colored linen is made with heavier stripes of black in a herring bone weave. The long predicted fullness of the skirt has settled (for a little while) just at the knee line. The cuirass has suddenly become a fitted garment of silk elastic, smooth as a glove from neck to wrist and hip line. The outline of the watteau plait grows almost a familiar sight. It is belted in or allowed to fall loosely, according to the gown and the occasion. Sashes worn with the cuirass gown of the Moyen age are fashioned so that their flat folds lie close upon the lower edge of the cuirass, while the bow, tied to the right of the center back, falls among the lower plaits of the skirt.
