COMBINATION HAS BEEN FORMED TO PREVENT HIS ELECTION TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE. VOL. XVI. Conserv Are In POLITICAL SITUATION HAS MISSISSIPPI. DECLINE NATION HAS BEEN FOR ELECTION TO THE UNI (The New York Age.) Yazoo City, Miss., Feb. 8. James K. Vardaman, known for his radical views on the Negro question, has reached the conclusion within the past three or four weeks that the day of getting elected to office in Mississippi by appealing to the racial prejudices of the white voters is a thing of the past. In the present balloting for United States Senator, ex-Governor Vardaman finds that his chances of becoming elected to the United States Senate are fading daily. A strong combination has been formed to prevent his election, due in the main to his anti-Negro utterances. Senator Gibbs of Yazoo City, one of the leaders of the opposition, has set forth the following reasons why he is strongly opposed to the election of Vardaman: "It was well known when I was sent to the Senate this time that I did not wish to come, and that I was so strong an anti-Vardaman man that I even supported Mr. Williams, who had long been my political opponent. There is nothing personal to my opposition to Governor Vardaman's candidacy, but adhering to the tenets of our party laid down in 1868 and made good in 1875 when the state was redeemed by it from radical rule and looking to the future unity and welfare of our white people, I cannot endorse the constant crusade against the inferior race. "Should it attempt to assert political rights, we have the white line and the constitution of 1890 to hold up our hands. To be everlastingly discussing the Negro merely makes him overestimate his importance and renders it that much more difficult for us to deal with a situation always serious anyway. The Negro is here by the act of the slave traders and our forefathers, and not of his own volition. He is free by the act of the white people of both sections who engaged in war. He was made a voter by the victorious North; he was disfranchised by us in spite of the fifteenth amendment. Why then should he be forced into the arena of political discussions and thus made to assume a position of sullen hostility toward us? ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION "It was well known that I supported McLaurin against Vardaman for governor, and that afterwards I supported Powell against him, and that in 1903, when I was in Sonora, Mexico, in bad health, and doubtful whether I would ever get back home, I wrote a letter against Vardaman, solely on the ground of his agitation of the Negro question, which I considered extremely injurious to the people and the party. Outside of that point, I didn't care a two-cent postage stamp who won the gubernatorial race. Races Are at Peace in Mississippi. "The Democratic party thirty-five years ago put the Negro out of state politics and in all its platforms promised protection to him in his educational and civil rights. We have been getting along pretty well with him, all things considered, and I am opposed to making him a subject of political campaigning in the Democratic party. He has no place there. We are all white men alike and all equally interested in white supremacy. We will all stand together on that, and all favor repeal of the fifteenth amendment, if it should ever be possible. The races are at peace; it is necessary to preserve that status if we are going to live among Negroes. It is utter folly to make the Negroes think that the people of Mississippi wish to deprive them of their schools. It is worse than folly to pursue the course that would make them feel that we are not their friends. "Acting on what I consider to be the interest of the white line Democracy and having an eye single to the welfare and peace of the state and unity of the party, I cannot endorse Governor Vardaman's special brand of politics. My county and state failed to do so in 1907, and I will not surrender my record and convictions of a lifetime, even at the suggestion of a large number of my good friends who had a chance to vote for Governor Vardaman for Senator in 1907 and failed to do so. "Governor Vardaman is a brilliant and magnificent man; he has a host of friends that he deserves; personally I admire him, but he DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19 1910. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, hasn't got his politics on straight in the old Democratic style, according to my ideas. It is only fair to say that just as good Democrats as ever I claimed to be entertain a different view from mine. I have no criticism to make, except to point out the difference. I may not be always right, but I have the courage of my convictions, and I always stand by them, as everybody in Yazoo county knows. I never hide them when it is proper to express them. "I am with that conservative element that believes in white supremacy forever, and peace, rather than in sowing the dragon's teeth of race prejudice, which is, as God knows, too prevalent among us." APPOINTMENTS IN CLEVELAND. Twenty-three Negroes Have Been Given Jobs Since Mayor Baehr Took Office the First of the Year—Making Good Record. Cleveland, O.—No other city in the United States can boast of the recognition such as has been given the race by Mayor Herman C. Baehr. Last November Herman C. Baerh, Republican, was elected mayor of this city, defeating Tom L. Johnson, Democrat, who was a candidate for the fifth term, being elected four times as mayor. Mr. Baehr took office on January 1st, and during his first month in office twenty-three colored men have been appointed to positions through the efforts of Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, who was the first Negro ever elected to the council in this city, together with Hon. H. T. Eubanks, member of the Ohio Legislature, Deputy Sheriff Samuel E. Woods, Maj. John C. Fulton, A. D. Boyd and Nahum D. Brascher, editor of the Cleveland Journal. Every county office, with the exception of the Prosecutor's and Clerk's office, has employed a representative of the race. The latter office is controlled by Democrats. More than $100,000 a year is paid in wages to Negro employees by the city and county administration. List of Appointments. Following are the appointments: William H. Smith, district inspector, Department of Buildings; Robert I. Drake, sanitary patrolman; Nahum D. Brascher, city storekeeper, Auditor's office; J. Clarence Brown, chief inspector, Garbage Collection Department; Dan R. Fairfax, clerk, Water Works Department; Walter Patterson, park police; W. O. Thornhill, notice clerk, Sidewalk Department; William Brown, inspector of brick and cement, Engineer's office; Samuel Kyle, barn man, Collection Department; Edgar B.

Seventy-five colored men are employed at the Garbage Collection Department as drivers of garbage wagons at $2 per day, and about twenty are working on the streets as white wings. Twelve men have teams working for the city. Those holding positions in the county offices are as follows: Maji John C. Fulton, clerk in Treasurer's office; Jeriman Hudson, clerk in Auditor's office; Samuel E Woold, deputy in Sheriff's office; Leroy D. Fowler, rodman, Surveyor's office; John J. Redd, night watchman, Court House; William Burton, janitor, Court House; Mrs Emma Green, copyist, County Recorder's office. HOLDING OUR OWN In a great speech at Springfield, Ill., on Lincoln day, Dr. Booken Washington (who, by the way, was the principal speaker) had much to say concerning the splendid record our people had made in the accumulation of real and personal property. It is permissible for Mr. Washington to pile up these facts when telling the story of "our up from slavery," with much satisfaction to himself, and to the delight and astonishment of his hearers, who are dependent for the most part on lurid descriptions of Negro criminal offenses for their knowledge of the race. First hand knowledge is mighty good and inspiring. But how much better would it be at the end of this year if we and all our leaders could point to the laying aside of many of our extravagant habits and the growing pile of money deposited by our people in strong banks or invested in homes and farms. It would be unkind and pitiful to judge the wealth of the Negro by that of the whites. Our people must force the attention of the public to our increased habits of frugality and thrift, by curtailing the numerous police court crimes and senseless pleasures. The world needs our wealth. It needs our earnings! It needs our labor. Demonstrate to the world that we will save, and watch the problem solve itself. Winston-Salem, N C., Feb. 5.—The $12,000 residence of Dr. J. W. Jones, on North Liberty street was damaged about $1,500 by fire, smoke and water at 8 o'clock last week. The fire started in the basement, but the origin is not definitely known. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES The New York Hampton Circle composed of graduates and ex-students of the Hampton Normal Agricultural and Industrial Institute, Virginia, residing in Brooklyn, Manhattan and in Greater New York vicinity, celebrated the birthday anniversary of General Samuel Chapman Armstrong with its first annual dinner. The affair was held in the West Fifty-third Street Branch Young Women's Christian Association, and proved a most interesting event. of Athens, for rescuing Stone, a niece of Mrs. I the flames which desi Baily home last September Baily has written a le Carnegie hero fund facts in the case, urging action in his employ Mr. Bailey says Weldon been faithful, steady ever since he has been ploy. Hoboken, N. J.—B A bill is soon to appear in the House and Senate which will prevent the use of names of established secret orders being used by other persons than the successors to the persons who found them. For instance, there are many orders which have been chartered by the national or state governments, and since that time, colored fraternities using the same name have come into existence. The law will be a copy of the Georgia law on the subject and will be rigid in its provisions.—Richmond Journal. Kalamazoo, Mich., January 14. For the first time in the history of the State a Negro, S. J. Williamson, of Jamaica, has been chosen by the Kalamazoo College, of which he is a student, to represent the institution in the State oratorical contest. The only other winner with Williamson in the preliminaries is Miss Emily Carter, a white girl, who will debate with him. The incident has caused a ferment of excitement in the college, despite the fact that Williamson has previously taken oratorical honors in his class. Seattle, Wash., Feb. 14.—The Twenty fifth Infantry—of Brownsville fame—was cleared of a new trouble tonight. The colored soldiers were paraded before Mrs. C. E. Aizeda, a white woman who claimed she had been attacked by a soldier who threw a cape over her head last Friday night. Twenty of the soldiers were absent from Fort Lawton at the time of the alleged attack. Mrs. Aizeda was given a most thorough opportunity to scrutinize the faces of the 20, but was positive that her assailant was not among them. This probably will end the incident. A movement is on foot by leading white persons at Athens, Ga. to secure a Carnegie hero medal for Weldon Wray, an Afro Ameri can in the employ of S. W. Bailey, NO.23 of Athens, for rescuing little Mary Stone, a niece of Mrs. Baily, from the flames which destroyed the Baily home last September. Mr. Baily has written a letter to the Carnegie hero fund stating the facts in the case, urging favorable action in his employ's behalf. Mr. Bailey says Weldon Wray has been faithful, steady and honest ever since he has been in his employ. Hoboken, N. J.,—Feb. 9.—Estelle E. Gibbs, a 14 year-old colored girl, of No. 512 First street, received the first prize, a gold medal, at the graduating exercises of the Hoboken public school pupils, in the Gayethe Theatre. She had the highest average of any public-school pupil in the city, 99 1.3 per cent., in six subjects. In her history, civics, spelling arithmetic grammar examinations she had a perfect record, but in geography her standing was 96. Eighteen questions were posted at the examination, and the pupils had the privilege of selecting ten to answer. The teacher who conducted the examination says that Estelle picked out the ten hardest. There are 10,000 white pupils in the schools and only 15 colored. Only 11 colored families live in Hoboken. Estelle is the daughter of a Pullman porter on the Lackawanna Railroad. She is the only colored girl who has carried off such honors in Hoboken, and the only one to be graduated from the grammar school to the high school. A NEW INVENTION. R. L. Kearney of Greenville, N. C., is another member of the race, who has demonstrated the fact, that the Negro can do things like other people. He is the inventor of a patented improvement in plows. It is a boltless combination plow. The work of three plows is accomplished in one. A cotton plow with double front points and shares of wings, sweeps and half sweeps of various shapes and sizes, best adapting them to all stages of growing crops. It has also a complete set of castings which constitute it a turning plow with three sizes of wings, the smallest making it suitable for breaking very hard or rough land. All parts are changeable. The position of handles and beam may be changed to suit the requirement. Only one stock, beam and handles are required, and upon these may be fitted any shape or size castings to meet the demand of the work at hand.—Tuskegee Student.

The village of Hudson, O., has voted to remain "dry" for fifty years, in order to obtain a water works plant, electric light and sewerage system and kindred improvements, donated by James W.

Statistics show, in the immense bill of the United States for imported drinkables last year, amounting to more than $128,000,000, that South America supplied most of the coffee. Asia most of the tea, and Europe most of the wines and liquors. The United States is the world's largest coffee drinker, and Great Britain is the world's greatest consumer of tea.

In an interview with Cortlandt Field Bishop, president of the Aero Club of America, and General Nelson A. Miles, President Taft said he regretted that on account of the necessity of economy, he could not recommend to Congress appropriations for the equipment of the army with aeroplanes. He thought something could be done at the next session. If the calculations of members of the Senate and House committee on interstate commerce do not go amiss, the administration railroad measure probably will be under discussion on the floor of Congress within a month.

PRESIDENT TAFT IS IMPATIENT PRESIDENT TAFT IS IMPATIENT RUFFLED BY DELAY OF CONGRESS IN PASSING ADMINISTRATION MEASURES. URGES PROMPT ACTION CONFERENCE WILL TRY TO FIX UP THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK BILL. Washington.—In effect President Taft said to some of the Senate leaders whom he called to the White House Wednesday. "Why don't you push measures to redeem party pledges while the House is dealing with appropriation bills? You are moving too slowly." It is said he exhibited extreme impatience with the degree of progress thus far made toward the enactment of administration bills. Numerous conferences were held and at night came the authoritative announcement that the Senate will act upon the President's suggestions. The senators were able to announce the following: The almost hopeless tangle in which the Root and Smoot amendments have ensnarled the postal savings bank bill will receive attention at a conference in the rooms of the finance committee, of which Senator Aldrich is chairman. When whipped into shape the postal savings bank bill is to displace the Alaskan legislative council bill as the unfinished business, and the latter is to be laid aside as involving problems that cannot be solved at the present session. The administration railroad bill is to be reported from the committee on interstate commerce during the next week and force put behind it to pass it without material amendment. The several conservation bills are to be perfected by a special committee of western senators appointed by Chairman Nelson from the membership of the committee on public lands, and these measures are to be reported to the Senate as rapidly as completed. The anti-injunction bill is to be considered by the judiciary committee next Monday. Statehood legislation, which already has been reported from the committee on territories, is not to be permitted to lag, and probably will receive attention as soon as the postal savings bank bill is out of the way. This program includes neither the federal incorporation bill nor ship subsidy legislation, although the latter is likely to pass the Senate without much debate. It will meet difficult hurdles in the House. Senators Carter, Borah and Beveridge carried from the capitol President Taft's views on the delays encountered by bills contained in his program. They reported that there could be no mistaking the President's temper. The postal savings bank bill gave him the most concern, it was said, because the opposition that had developed to such legislation did not appear to him based on sound principles. Boston Airship Exposition. Boston.—Boston's airship show, the first held in this country and the second exhibition of its kind ever held in the world, opened Wednesday and attracted a great throng. Monoplanes, biplanes, gliders, flying models and inflated balloons show the progress made in aeronautics to date. The largest airship of the exhibition is a biplane of the Wrigt type, owned by Frederick P. Schneider of New York, which has made flights at Morey's Park. Another large machine is that of Lewis G. Erickson of Springfield, the Ericks II. Ex-Convict Murderer Captured. El Paso.—Tom Hansen the Arizona ex-convict, who, after his release from prison carried out his threat and killed two men whose testimony had convicted him, was captured Tuesday in the mountains near Globe, Ariz., by Chief Chilchauna, who is seventy years old. Chamberlain in the House. London.—For the first time since he was stricken with paralysis years ago, Joseph Chamberlain appeared in the House of Commons Wednesday and took the oath as a member of the new Parliament. He was so weak that his son signed his name. Senator Tillman III Washington.—Senator Tillman of South Carolina was taken suddenly ill on the steps of the Capitol Wednesday of his old trouble, hardening of the arteries. He recovered considerably before night. Strike Closes Mines and Mills. Butte, Mont.—All of the big mines with the exception of six are down with prospects of a prolonged suspension. The International Engineers are standing firm and thus far have the whip hand of the situation. The Clark Reduction Works will close Thursday. All the Clark mines are down. No encouragement for amelioration of conditions is hoped for by the mine managers. Large forces were laid off at the Washoe smelter at Anaconda Wednesday, apparently in preparation for a shut-down COLORADO NEWS The University of Denver has begun the erection of a gymnasium building. The Denver Rock Drill and Machine Company is preparing to erect a $200,000 factory building in Denver. The pension application of Raphh Davis of Denver has been allowed, carrying with it $1,000 back pension. The production of the new oil well of the Fidelity Company in the Boulder district may exceed 100 barrels a day, according to present indications. A carload of hogs was sold on the Denver market on the 11th inst. for $8.75 per hundred, which is the record price up to that date. Asahel Sutton, for more than twenty years cashier of the First National Bank of Colorado Springs, died suddenly on the 14th inst. of angina pectoris. Dr. Hubert Work of Pueblo has been elected chairman of the Colorado Republican State Central committee. Mrs. Thalia Rhoads will be continued as vice chairman. The body of Reuben Dougherty, one of the American victims of the Primero mine explosion, was taken from the mine on the 14th inst., bringing the total of bodies recovered to sixty-six. Judge Dixon of the Denver County Court has held the act regulating horseshoes and requiring them to be examined and pay a license fee, which was passed in 1897, to be unconstitutional. The Automobile show of the Denver Motor Club will be held in the Denver Auditorium February 23d t. 26th. Special rates to the show have been granted by the Colorado railroads. It is announced that a new theater and hotel will be built in Greeley on the old Catholic church property, at a cost of $100,000. The structure will be 100x190 feet and will have a seating capacity of 1,200. Beet Growers in the Greeley district are to be paid according to the sugar content of the crop this year. For all beets over 12 per cent. sugar and under 15 per cent., the price will be $5 per ton. For over 15 per cent., $5.25, and an increase of 25 cents for every cent. gained in sugar content. The $100,000 necessary to be raised at Lamar for the Denver & Gulf railway has been deposited in a Lamar bank.

A feature of "Hobby night " of the National Press Club at Washington was the distribution by D. M. Auppierlie of a supply of apples from Grand valley, Colo. Speaker Cannon, Champ Clark, Dr. Wiley, as well as several hundred other notable guests and members of the Press Club, munched Colorado apples after Speaker Cannon finished his speech. Aged and infirm, unable to get out, sixty residents of the Denver Old Ladies' Home enjoyed immensely the concert given by Bellstedt's band and other musical artists at the Auditorium Sunday. Though three mills away, the aged women sat in easy chairs, heard and enjoyed the numbers as though the musicians had been in an adjoining room. The second state indoor rifle match of the national guard of Colorado has just been finished. The first prize was won by troop A of Walsenburg, the second by troop D of Boulder and the third by company M of Golden. The contesting teams did the shooting in their own quarters and the results were sent to the executive committee in Denver, who made the decisions and will award the prizes. James A. Warford, charged with the murder of Chris Miller and Ike Leibo in 1904, has just been released from jail in Canon City, where he has been held since his trial. During the election of 1904, Warford is alleged to have killed at Goldfield, Colo., Chris Miller and Ike Leibo, shooting them dead as they sat on a fence. He was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, but was granted a new trial on a writ of error issued by the State Supreme Court. Securing a change of venue, his second trial in Canon City resulted in a disagreement of the jury. When released he was warned by District Attorney Ferguson of Teller county that he must not return to the county. If he disregards the warning Ferguson will have him rearrested. The Colorado & Southern Railroad has announced that bridge builders employed by the road will receive an increase of ten per cent in wages, effective at once, the agreement having been reached by committees representing both sides.

"WATER RIGHTS" is a term quite unfamiliar and only vaguely comprehensible to people dwelling beyond the great mountain and plain region of the United States, and therefore, in the larger part of the country, it has no bearing upon those ordinary conditions which we, in the West, consider natural and fundamental. The vast prairie district, stretching from northern Texas to southern Dakota, coupled with the mountain region, reaching from the eastern slopes of the Rockies to the eastern rises of the Sierra Nevadas, have natural problems all their own, one of the greatest of which is the water supply. In the other sections of the country, where the entire soil surface is nurtured and fed by great rivers and other numerous natural streams and lakes, not even a thought of such problems is forced upon the happily situated populations, and their cities and towns are so located that their original water supply is, by apparent providential provision, practically placed at their very doors. They have but to impound it, filter it and force it through conduits for their various domestic uses. But it is not so here in the West, where an occasional solitary and impoverished stream or isolated lake is the source of redemption for vast districts which, otherwise, would be totally unfit for permanent human settlement or agricultural development. Here the redeeming waters of these infrequent and sometimes precarious sources must be diverted and conducted by a vast system of artificial distribution, through pipes and ditches and protected canals to the cities and territories dependent upon them. The establishment of these original systems of diverting water from agrarian streams and the acquisition of smaller streams, ditches and lakes of entirely private ownership, with the means of distributing their flow to the districts to be benefited, become legally established water rights of as certain title as that of the land itself, and of immense consideration and almost incalculable value, especially to those larger beneficiaries in whose interests they have been originally planned and constructed. The appraisers have estimated that the original water rights belonging to the Denver Union Water Company are worth something like $2,845,925, but their actual value to the city of Denver could not be measured within double that amount. If the Kaw river, which is the source of Kansas City's domestic water supply, could be transported to Colorado in exchange for our leg of the Platte, the city of Denver would gladly vote ten million dollars for its domestic benefits alone. Yet the Kaw could not furnish as pure a supply nor a more sufficient volume of water than Denver now enjoys. Our existing system, based upon the rights originally acquired, cannot be replaced by any other sufficient system possible of conjecture, and its abstract value is far above what the city will ever be called upon to pay for it. upon to pay for it. COMPARISON OF WATER RATES. WHAT DENVER CONSUMERS PAY PER DAY FOR WATER SERVICE. Four-room house, for general household use.....1 1/10 cents a day Four rooms and one water-closet.....2 1/5 cents a day Four rooms, one water closet and irrigation one lot.....3 7/10 cents a day Six-room house, for general household use.....1 3/10 cents a day Six rooms and one water-closet.....2 2/5 cents a day Six rooms, one bath, one water-closet.....3 1/2 cents a day Six rooms, bath, closet and irrigation one lot.....5 cents a day Eight-room house, for general household use.....1 54/100 cents a day Eight rooms, one bath, one water-closet.....3 74/100 cents a day Eight rooms, bath, closet, and irrigation 1½ lots.....6 cents a day Ten-room house, for general household use.....1 3/4 cents a day Ten rooms, two baths, two water closets.....5 1/20 cents a day Ten rooms, two baths, two closets, and irrigation 2 lots.8 1/20 cents a day We have shown that the water plants in thirty-three of the largest cities in the United States derive an income upon the valuation of the property devoted to water works purposes in those cities 47 37/100 per cent. greater than the income of The Denver Union Water Company upon its property. We have shown that the average price received per city, for a million gallons of water delivered by the water plants in ninety-four of the best-known cities in the United States is 49 89/100 per cent, greater than the price per million gallons received by The Denver Union Water Company. We have shown that no water plant in any large city in the country that supplies filtered water, and secures its own supply at any distance from the city, receives as low a price per million gallons delivered as The Denver Union Water Company. We now submit for your consideration a series of tables, showing the annual water rates for domestic service, for a six-room house, with irrigation for one twenty-five foot lot, in nearly 100 of the best-known cities in the United States. The tables include forty-eight of the forty-nine cities mentioned in our last letter, as having a population rating of 100,000 or more. The six-room house is the service that occurs most frequently in nearly every water system in the country, and is the one most generally used in making comparisons of water rates. The comparison of the rates for this service between a number of cities also indicates very closely how the general charges for other classes of service compare. The comparisons shown by the tables establish the fact that the charge for this service in Denver is lower than the charge for similar service in any of the cities that supply filtered water, and obtains its supply at any distance from the city. The comparison shows that the charge for this service in Denver is lower than the charge for similar service in 77 4/10 per cent. of all of the cities, regardless of whether they furnish filtered or unfiltered water and regardless of the conditions under which their supplies are obtained. The rates shown for the several cities are taken from the official published schedules now in effect in those cities. The tables are divided into four classifications, embracing the same classes of cities as the tables in our last letter dealing with the revenue per million gallons of water furnished. Each table is divided into six rate classifications, as follows: Charge for ordinary domestic use, for cooking, baking, washing and general sanitary purposes, charge for bath tub, charge for water-closet, charge for washstand, charge for irrigation twenty-five feet frontage, with privilege of sprinkling street in front of premises, washing windows, sidewalks, etc., and the total charge for the services enumerated. The tables also show the daily per capita consumption of water in the cities. We call your attention especially to the column showing the charges in the various cities for the necessary supply of water for general household purposes. This is the service that is an absolute necessity to every household in a city, no matter how humble or unpretentious it may be. Bath tubs, washstands, irrigation privileges, and many other services are in the nature of comforts or luxuries that need not be taken except by those whose circumstances permit them to pay the added charges. For this NECESSITY service the annual rate in Denver for a six-room house is $4.80. We quote the charges for the same NECESSITY service in a number of cities with which Denver's rates are so frequently compared: Los Angeles, Cal. $ 9.20 Pueblo, Colo., South Side. $14.40 Colorado Springs, Colo. 12.00 Trinidad, Colo. 11.00 Boulder, Colo. 10.00 Portland, Ore. 6.00 Greeley, Colo. 10.00 Seattle, Wash. 7.80 Leadville, Colo. 14.00 Spokane, Wash. 12.00 Pueblo, Colo., North Side. 18.00 Tacoma, Wash. 11.40 The ordinary water correspondingly high rates for any size house, larger or six-room house, before he can have water to cook his food. Some of those cities charge less for the comfort and luxury services than The Denver Union Water Company, but to enable them to do so the poorest consumer must pay part of the tax for the comforts his more fortunate neighbor enjoys. In the preparation of the tables no attempt was made to select special cities for the purpose of comparison. A conscientious effort was made to secure data from every well-known city in the United States. This is especially true of the cities having a population of 100,000 or more. That the list of this class of cities includes 48 of the 49 in the country that are given that population rating for 1909 amply substantiates this statement. Of the 93 that supply water under schedule rates, 72, or 77 4/10 per cent., of the number make a higher charge for the service shown than The Denver Union Water Company. Only six cities, or 6 45/100 per cent., of those furnishing water under schedule rates supply filtered water at a lower charge for the service shown than The Denver Union Water Company. All of these cities secure their water supply within the city limits. The Denver Union Water Company secures more than 80 per cent. of its supply at a distance of from 20 to 50 miles from the city. No city, from which information is available, that supplies filtered water, and secures its supply at any distance from the city, makes as low a charge for this service as The Denver Union Water Company. The rates in Colorado Springs and Boulder appear lower than the rates in the other Colorado cities, because the irrigation in both cases is largely from ditches built along the streets, and does not require water for this purpose that is fit for domestic use or under pressure. Average rate of above cities for the NECESSITY service, for ordinary household use..... $ 7.65 a year DENVER..... 4.80 a year DENVER'S charge LESS than average..... $ 2.85 a year Average rate of above cities for general house use without irrigation..... $15.78 a year DENVER..... 12.80 a year DENVER'S charge LESS than average..... $ 2.98 a year Average rate of above cities for irrigation..... $ 5.85 a year DENVER..... 5.50 a year DENVER'S charge LESS than average..... $ .35 a year Average total rate of above cities, all services..... $27.63 a year DENVER..... 18.30 a year DENVER'S charge LESS than average..... $ 3.33 a year The Denver Union Water Company, as shown by the per capita con- sumption column, furnishes more than twice as much water per capita of population as the average of the above cities. On the basis of Denver's per capita consumption of water the average rates of the above cities would be as follows: For the NECESSITY service, ordinary household use.....$16.87 a year DENVER......4.80 a year Average for general house use without irrigation.....$34.83 a year DENVER......12.80 a year Average irrigation.....$12.91 a year DENVER......5.50 a year Average total, all services.....$47.74 a year DENVER......18.30 a year TABLE NUMBER TWO Contains forty-three cities that supply filtered water, eight of which report their services metered and supplied only under meter rates. Of the 35 that supply water under schedule rates, 29, or 82 86/100 per cent., of the number make a higher charge for the service shown than The Denver Union Water Company. The six cities that make a lower charge obtain their water supply within the city limits. The Denver Union Water Company obtains more than 80 per cent. of its supply at a distance of from 20 to 50 miles from the city.

It is most complete as showing the cities with which Denver actually ranks for size. Three of the twenty-nine cities report their services metered and supplied only under meter rates. Of the 26 that supply water under schedule rates, 20, or 76 92/100 per cent., of the number make a higher charge for the service shown than The Denver Union Water Company. Only three of the cities, or 11 5/10 per cent., of the number furnishing water under schedule rates supply filtered water at a lower charge for the service shown than The Denver Union Water Company.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN BACK COUNTRY PARTY The Douglass Undertaking Company honored Lincoln's and Douglass' birthday anniversaries by throwing to the breeze the Stars and Stripes, which Joated over the venerable patriot's name. Douglass. The only Negro business that seemed to observe it in our city. Henry Threadgill, whose remains were shipped from Florence, Colorado, February 13, to the Douglass Undertaking Company, was buried Monday, February 14th, from Bethlehem Baptist church, Rev. Reynolds and Rev. Davis officiating. The deceased leaves a father, mother and four brothers, who reside at 1426 Twenty-seventh street, to mourn his loss. Interment at Riverside. The John Brown-Douglass-Lincoln memorial, given at Shorter's A. M. E. church Monday evening, under the auspices of the People's Sunday Alliance, was well attended by a patriotic class of people. Addresses were delivered by Mr. George W. Gross of Rocky Ford, Colo., and Hon. W. B. Tousend, and a paper on the life of Frederick Douglass, by Rev. James N. Wallace of Scott M. E. church. Capt. Thomas Campbell was master of ceremonies. Denver, Colorado, Feb. 15, 1910 Special to the Colorado Statesman. Special to the Colorado Statesman. Dear Sir: I write to extend to you my heartiest congratulation on your address on Douglass, at Shorter's last night. Yours was the speech of the evening, to my wife and I, and many others sitting in our vacancy. What I liked about yours was, it had heart and soul in it. You said what you seemed to sincerely mean. You were loyal to the truth. You spoke frankly as to the position of the church on the slavery question, regardless of your being a minister, a thing I have had many ministers try to evade and deny. The average church is about the same today on the liquor question. The arrogant predictory rich, who are exploiting the poor, whom Christ so loved. They are the pillars of the church today. Oh, how Douglass scathingly rebuked, the slaveholding Christians. However, the church with all of its short comings, is a very essential element of society, and is rapidly realizing that she has not been sufficiently millitent. We need churches that will fight the battles of the masses, civil, social, and political, especially of the Negro, as well as spiritual. It was not my intention to enter into a discussion of the church. I only desired to congratulate you on your splendid attainment of last evening. Hoping you success, I remain yours very sincerely. C. W. BUFORD, 1141 Downing St. SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES. Contains forty-eight of the forty-nine cities in the United States rated as having a population of 100,000 or more in 1909. Six of the forty-eight cities report their services metered and supplied only under meter rates. These cities include the largest water plants in the United States, situated on the shores of the Great Lakes or on great rivers, where no expense is attached to the furnishing of water except the pumping of unfiltered water into the distributing mains. The populations are congested and every condition favorable to the furnishing of water at the lowest possible cost. Yet Denver's rates for the service shown by the table is lower than this combination of cities Mr. F. D. McPherson received the sad intelligence of the death of his brother-in-law, Mr. George Lee, last week. The George Washington Birthday Party and Handkerchief Bazaar will be postponed indefinitely because of the illness in the pastors family. Mrs. Celia Gaines who is the chief spirit of the entertainment is assisting Mrs. Wallace. Mrs. Lottie Bibbs who has been confined to her bed on the account of rheumatism at the residence of Mrs. S. P. McBeth will return to her post of duty next week. Of the 42 cities that supply water under schedule rates, 26, or 61 9/10 per cent., of the number make a higher charge for the service shown than The Denver Union Water Company. Only four cities, or 9 5/10 per cent., of the number furnishing water under schedule rates supply filtered water at a lower charge for the service than The Denver Union Water Company. All of these cities secure their water supply within the city limits. The Denver Union Water Company secures more than 80 per cent. of its supply at a distance of from 20 to 50 miles from the city.

Three class leaders, the pastor and several others held services at the residence of Mr. John Harrison. Mrs Harrison is an invalid and cannot attend services. It was a long ride on the cars and difficult to reach, but the little missionary crowd felt that they were well paid for their trip. Mrs. Emma Anderson is a very faithful church worker. She desires the parents to send their children to the Sunday school and League so that they can commence to practice for Easter program. The members and friends of Scott's will present the pastor with a new suit of clothes for conference. The Juniors will present him with a pair of shoes. This is the capstone of Scott's success for the year of 1909. The Junior League under the direction of Mesdames Bobo and Anderson is doing good work in training the children in the right way of living. Let the parents of all denominations send their children as the teachers are not teaching doctrines, but are teaching things vital to their little lives. The indications are that the church will raise the benevolence in full. Let those who have subscribed anything for this cause please hand their subscription in. The Epworth League rendered a splendid program last Sunday evening. It was the occasion of the anniversary of the Freedmen's Aid Society. The entire claim for this society has been raised. Mr. B. F. Russell recently of Colorado Springs is making himself felt in his exhortations. The official Board met recently and recommended him for license to preach. Mr. Russell will leave for Gammon Theological Seminary next fall to prepare himself for the high calling of the gospel ministry. ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. We wish to announce to the public, that we have added to our real estate department, something that is very much needed in the city of Denver. It has been the custom, that strangers come into the city would have to go from place to place to find rooms orboard, sometimes finding suitable accommodations, and sometimes finding none at all. But now a luxury has come to the city in the form of a first class Roomers and Boarders Exchange, which means that proprietors will no longer have to put themselves to extra trouble to find roomers and boarders. The rates shown for the several combinations of cities indicate clearly why the revenue per million gallons of water furnished by those cities, as shown in our last letter, is so much higher than in Denver. The same quantity of water required for one six-room house in Denver supplies two or more houses of the same size in the other cities under any of the averages.

It is now quite the thing to have a number of clever tricks “up one’s sleeve," as it were, with which to be- guile a few moments after dinner, or to work in at an opportune moment when there comes lull in the con- versation, Jugglery was the oldest of the sciences and every one, old or young, is interested in strange or seemingly wonderful feats, A very simple trick is called “The Balanced Coin.” Take a bottle, cork it, and in the cork place a needle. Cut a slit in another cork so that the edge of a silver dollar will fit into it; then put two forks into the upper cork. Place the edge of the coin, which holds the upper cork and forks, on the point of the needle, and it will revolve without falling. , This will amuse children, especially a child who may be a prisoner from illness, or on a rainy day. To make a revolving figure is inter- esting. Cut a wee man out of a thin bit of wood, make him end in one leg instead of two; make a pair of long arms shaped like oars or paddles. Then place him on top of your finger and blow hard. The little man will go round and, round. Another clever feat is the Spanish dancer. Cut a fig- ure from pasteboard; gum one foot on the inverted side of a wateh erystal, then place it on a clean plate. Hold ‘the plate slanting and it will slide down; but drop a little water on the plate; instead of the glass sliding, it will begin to revolve, and continue to revolve with increased velocity as the person choses, This is in consequence of the cohesion of water to the two surfaces, by which a new force is reduced: Alphabetical Bible Characters.

Green for the broken stem and leaves, pale yellow for the bud, and an orange shade to tip the petals are suggested.

If it has not been burned, the proba- bility is that it ig underdone, If, to escape both these evils, the cook has baked the cake very slowly, all the nuts and fruit for half an inch or more around the cake are so hard that it is impossible for anybody to eat them with any satisfaction. All house- keepers are familiar with these con- ditions, und yet there is a _mettiod which obviates all such diMiculties. After the batter is spiced and flavored, and is ready for the addition of the fruits and nuts, dip out a small quan- tty of it, add suMcient flour to make a stiff dough, and roll this out very thin. Then line the bottom and all four sides of the cake pans with it— Just as if it was pie crust—and after the fruits, etc, have been added, the lined pans are filled with the mixture and are sent to the oven to bake. ‘The effect of this outer layer of dough is obvious. As the fruits cannot sink through it they are prevented from scorching, and there is no blemish on the outer crust. Moreover, with such a smooth, crisp crust around it the delicious freshness of the cake {s pre- served for an almost indefinite period, FOR THOSE FOND OF RABBIT Cooked in the Following Manner It Will Be Found a Most De- licious Dish. After your rabbit is dressed, let It hang and freeze @ day if possible. ‘This is not essential, however; clean carefully and eut away entirely the strip of thin skin that covers the in- testines. Cut the rest of the rabbit in pieces and soak for two hours in salt water. Rinse well and put up in a kettle of cold water. Let boll and pour off the water. Cover again with hot water and simmer until tender. ‘Then take the pieces and roll in flour, put in a baking pan, season with salt and pepper and plenty of butter and pour over it the water in which it was boiled, Put in a slow oven and let simmer and brown turning the pieces once, about one hour, keeping enough water on it to about half cover. If you do not like rabbit cooked this way there is no way to cook it that you will like. This is “panned rabbit." ‘A Gut. CKasdecnka. A city tea room which makes excel- lent cheesecake gives the following recipe: Half a cake of yeast, dis- solved in a cup of tepid water, mixed with two cups of flour, two eggs, a saltspoon of salt, two tablespoons of butter and a teaspoon of sugar. This is worked into a soft paste and set in a warm place to rise. The dough {s then rolled into one-inch thickness, Pie plates are covered with this and set to rise again, Another mixture Is made of a pound jar of cream cheese, a cup and a half of thick cream, nearly a cup of sugar, three eggs, lemon peel, two table- spoons of lemon juice. To this 1s add- ed a little orange water. This mixture 4s turned into the ple plates and baked in a medium hot oven, ‘Burnt Almond Brittle, Blanch the best quality of al- monds and chop; there should be one cupful. Put in a pan and bake until delicately and evenly browned, stir- ring occasionally, taking great care that they do not burn; then sprinkle with one-third of a teaspoonful of salt. Put two cupfuls of fine granulated sugar in a hot iron frying pan and stir constantly until melted to a syrup, taking care to keep sugar from sides of pan. Add nut meats and pour at once into two ~slightly buttered, warmed tin square cake tins; then mark into small squares with a knife, and when cold # may be easily broken into squares. If sugar is not removed from range as soon as melted it will caramelize, which is not desirable. Royal Chop Suey. Fry in olive ofl or butter three slices of bacon, two medium sized onions, three stalks of celery cut fine. ‘When the onions are soft, add one cupful of water, one-half pound cold chicken, one-half pound cold ham cut in dice, one small can of asparagus tips, one small can of French mush- rooms, one-half ounce of green ginger root cut in thin disks, two tablespoon- fuls of walnut catsup. Season highly with salt, pepper and cayenne. Stte until hot.

Bake in two ples with upper and under crust or with crossed strips for top crust. Pit Crust That Holds. Roll paste thin as usual. Place the plate on it and cut three-fourths Inch larger than the plate. Line the plate, letting extra edge fall over. Fill and cover with top crust to edge of plate. Moisten edge and lap over the extra edge. No juice can run over. To Thicken Icing. It often happens that the boiled icing is too soft and no amount of heating will thicken it.

The excellent cut of Horace Gree- ley’s birthplace at Amherst, N. H., in the Sunday Herald of recent date sug- gests this anecdote which may be of interest: The room in which he was born is now occupied as a sitting room. A visitor some years ago asked a lady living near by if she remembered ever seeing Horace Greeley, and she re- plied: “Well, yes; I have a very early remembrance of him. I put the first shirt on him.”—Boston Herald. Who Are the Elect? ‘Two modern statements of the doc- trine of “election,” neither of which would quite satisfy John Calvin or Jonathan Edwards, are given in the Congregationalist. One was Henry Ward Beecher’s ept. grammatic and convincing phrase: “The elect are whosoever will; the non-elect are whosoever won't.” Good as this is, there is another ex planation that is a star of equal mag nitude. It was made by a colored di vine, who sald: “Brethren, it is this way: The Lord, he is always voting fora man; and the devil, he is always voting against him. ‘Then the man himself votes, and that breaks the tie!” The Flaht Acainet Tuberculosis. Interest in the anti-tuberculosis cam- paign now being waged throughout the United States is evidenced by the fact that in the year 1909 163 new anti-tu- berculosis associations were formed, 133 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit- als were established, and 91 tubercu- losis dispensaries were opened. Com- pared with previous years, this is the best record thus far made in the fight against consumption in this country. During the year 1909, 43 more asso- ciations for the prevention of tubercu- losis were formed than during the pre- vious 12 months, and 62 more hospitals and sanatoria were established. On January 1, 1910, there were in the Uni- ted States 394 anti-tuberculosis associ- ations, 386 hospitals and tuberculosis sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis dispensaries. CLEAR-HEADED Head Bookkeeper Must be Reliable. ‘The chief bookkeeper in a large bus!- ness house in one of our great West- ern cities speaks of the harm coffee did for him: “My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum a little over two years ago, and We haye used it ever since, to the entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It happened in this way: “About three and a half years ago I had an cttack of pneumonia, which left a memento in the shape of dyspep- sia, or rather, to speak more correctly, netiralgia 0° the stomach. My ‘cup of cheer’ had always been coffee or tea, but I became convinced, after a time, that they aggravated my stomach trou- bie. I happened to mention the mat- ter to my grocer one day and he sug- gested that I give Postum a trial. “Next day it came, but the cook made the mistake of not boiling it sufficient- ly, and we did not like it much. This was, however, soon remedied, and now wwe like it so much that we will never change back. Postum, being a food beverage instead of a drug, has been the means of curing my stomach trou- ble, I verily believe, for I am a well man today and have used no other remedy. “My work as chief bookkeeper in our Co.'s branch house here is of a very confining nature. During my coffee- drinking days I was subject to nery- ousness and ‘the blues’ in addition to my sick spells. These have left me since I began using Postum and I can conscientiously recommend it to those whose work confines them to long hours of severe mental exertion.” “There's a Reason.” Look in pkgs. for the little book, “The Road to Wellville.” Ever read the above letter?

SHOWED WHERE HIS MIND WAS Uncle Billy's Question Proved That Sick Horse Was Uppermost in His Thoughts. "William," said Aunt Ann Skiles to her husband, after the supper dishes had been cleared away, "let's go and hear the lecture to-night." Uncle Billy had forgotten that there was a lecture, and when he was reminded that a returned missionary was going to tell all about India at the church he did not seem over-enthusiastic. "I oughtn't to go anywhere tonight!" grumbled Uncle Billy. "I ought to be doctoring my sick horse." "Well, you're not doing it, and you're not likely to do it. Get ready and go." Uncle Billy meekly obeyed. He sat patiently through the lecture, which was both interesting and profitable. At the close of his discourse the returned missionary said: "I will wait a few minutes now for the purpose of answering any questions that interested persons in the audience may wish to ask." For half a minute nobody spoke. Then, to the horror of Aunt Ann and the astonishment of the congregation, Uncle Billy leaned forward and asked: "What do they use in India to cure horses that have got the heaves?"—Youth's Companion.

StoriesTold of the First President WILL go to the chair," wrote George Washington to his friend, Benjamin Harrison, after his election to the presidency, "under no pre-engagement of any kind or nature whatsoever; but, when in it, to the best of my judgment to discharge the duties of the office with that impartiality and zeal for the public good which ought never to suffer connection of blood or friendship to intermingle so as to have the least sway on a decision of a public nature." In this way Washington, without a precedent to guide him, set up the standard that "a public office is a public trust." "No man has influence with the president," wrote John Adams to an office seeker. "He seeks information from all quarters, and judges more independently than any man I ever knew." In the presidency, as in the army, Washington labored to build up a national spirit by securing the best men for office, without respect to their party. He was astute in gauging public ered behind in a silk gloves, and holding a coa cockade on it, an adorned with a black fein inch deep. This may be accepted dress for the period, a knew the fashions as we of his time. Both President and I ton liked to give dinners small and plain, and other ODD RELIC OF WASHINGTON F. NE of the most interesting relics of George Washington is owned by the city of Salem. It is a medallion in wood, carved after a sketch from life. The same artist executed both sketch and carving, which gives the relic added value. He was Samuel McIntire, native genius, with a gift for portraiture. He studied Washington when the Father of His Country visited Salem on his tour of the east, and made the medallion shortly after- opinion, but he never allowed it to influence him from what he believed to be right. When he refused to recognize the French revolution, a mob of 10,000 gathered in front of his house in Philadelphia. When he signed a treaty with Great Britain in 1795 there was an outburst of popular wrath. Neither demonstration swerved him in the slightest from his path, and the public in a short time came back to him. In his relations with the diplomatic representatives of other countries Washington made as few mistakes as in dealing with his own people. Delicate situations he handled with great adroltness, as witness the instances of the French revolutionist Volney, who had solicited him for a letter of introduction to the American people, which Washington did not wish to give, but could not flatly refuse. He therefore wrote on a sheet of paper: C. Volney needs no recommendation from GEO. WASHINGTON. It is from the home life of the first president that the people to-day get their best view of Washington the man. There was no federal mansion for him. When he came up to New York from Mt. Vernon to take office, a house was hired for his official residence, at the corner of Pearl and Cherry streets, a neighborhood long since swallowed up in the business section of lower Manhattan island. ```markdown ``` S O Here the Washington lived for the first year of their official life. They then moved to a larger house, on Broadway, near Bowling Green. Mrs. Washington followed the president from Virginia a few weeks after his inauguration. Together they decided the social program befitting the president of the republic, striking a judicious mean between republican simplicity and refined elegance. Simplicity and Elegance. Washington, who delighted in such matters, gave much time to the arrangement of a code of etiquette for the president's household and social functions. In this he was ably seconded by Mrs. Washington, whose Virginia training in social matters stood her in good stead. The president held a levee every Tuesday afternoon, of a formal character, at which he merely bowed to the persons presented to him, without any handshaking. On Friday evenings Mrs. Washington gave a reception, when the president chose to be present as "a private gentleman," mingling with the guests informally and talking on any topic that was congenial to him. His costume on one of these occasions was described as including a "fancy-colored coat and waistcoat and black small clothes, without hat or sword." At his own levees he wore "a black velvet coat and breeches, his hair in full dress, powdered and gathered behind in a silk bag; yellow gloves, and holding a cocked hat with a cockade on it, and the edge adorned with a black feather about an inch deep. This may be accepted as correct dress for the period, as Washington knew the fashions as well as any man of his time. Both President and Mrs. Washington liked to give dinners. Some were small and plain, and others more elab- ward, to adorn the arch over the west entrance to Washington square, Salem. Here the effigy remained from 1802 until 1850, when the arch was taken down to give place to an iron fence, still in use. This Washington relic is kept in the fire-proof room at the Essex institute, Salem, where it is frequently studied by artists and others as an odd and striking likeness of the great American whom no two artists pictured alike. orate, according to the importance of the occasion. The dinner hour in New York was four o'clock. Once a week a" state dinner was given, at which the president, with great formality, followed his usual custom of drinking the health of every person by name around the table. The $3 Shad. In spite of their formality these dinners had occasional humorous incidents, as when Mrs. Robert Morris found the cream in the dessert bad, and warned the president, who sat beside her, not to eat it, but was not displeased to note that Mrs. Washington "ate a whole heap of it." Washington was very partial to fish. His fondness for fish being known by his steward, Samuel Fraunces, he was served on one occasion—the steward being in "a snow-white apron, silk shirt and stockings, and hair in full powder"—with an early shad. As the delicacy was placed on the table the president asked the price of it, and was told it cost $3. "Three dollars!" said the president in a stern voice. "Take it away; take it away, sir; it shall never be said that my table sets such an example of luxury and extravagance." This story is the more readily believable when it is known that Washington was fond of common salt cod fish, and often made his Sunday dinner from the good old American dish known in New England as "fish and potatoes."

HE MEANT EVENING GOWNS Well-Meant Compliment to American Woman Somewhat Marred by Unfortunate Error. Mons, Pruger, who from his triumph at the Savoy hotel in London has come to New York to conduct a very fashionable restaurant, was complimented by a reporter on his perfect English. "Well," said Mons. Pruger, smiling, "my English is, perhaps, better than that of the Marquis X., who supped here after the opera the other evening. "Our fine supper rooms looked very gay and fine, diamonds flashed, pale fabrics shimmered, and everywhere, turn where it would, the eye rested on dimpled, snowy shoulders shining like satin above decollete bodices of Paris gowns. "These decollete bodices impressed the Marquis X. He waved his hand and said: "I ave known parfaitement that the American young ladies was beautiful, but ah—I cannot say how far more beautiful they seem in their night dresses"—N. Y. Press. LEG A MASS OF HUMOR "About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that I began to scratch it and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, I would have to scratch it until I had the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffering during those seven years. The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply indescribable on paper and one has to experience it to know what it is. "I turtled all kinds of doctors and remedies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer. They would dry up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for a little while I began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, the trouble had entirely disappeared and my leg was as fine as the day I was born. Now after a lapse of six months with no signs of a recurrence I feel perfectly safe in extending to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. W. H. White, 312 E. Cabot St., Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 4 and Apr. 13, 1909." Stranger. Hostess.—You won't come to church with us, then, Phyllis.
