THE FIFTH ANNIVI Urge Your Senators and Cong for a Liberal Appropriation Fiftieth Anniversary of B Defeated by Leroy Pe Senator. Beaut THE EXPOSITION. Dr. Booker Washington is sending out appeal to the people of the various states, urging them to write their Senators and Congressmen asking them to support and vote for a liberal appropriation for the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Emancipation. This has for its prime object the gathering together from all parts of the world evidences of Negro energy, thrift and ability. To carry out the plans of those who have the movement in charge will entail the expenditure of a large sum of money. In all previous expositions the general government has been decidedly generous in its appropriations. However, we must convince all our representatives that we desire the exposition, and we are interested in making it a success. Every Negro in the West will be benefited and he should lose no time convincing his Congressman and Senator. VARDAMAN'S DEFEAT. Every Negro in America experienced genuine feelings of pleasure in the defeat of Governor Vardaman of Mississippi for the United States Senate. When Senator Gordon stood up in the Senate a few days ago and made a farewell address, after serving sixty days as the successor of Senator McLauren, he remarked the passing of the chivalric South in whom the principles of cessation were as sacred as the tenets of their religious belief. He was the last of a vanished type. The introduction of Senator Percy marked the long hoped for triumph of conservatism over race hatred and bourbonism gone wild. For many years the South has been cursed by Vardaman, Tillman and Dixon. Their elevation to leadership was the direct result of the shotgun polling, inaugurated by exasperated rebel leaders. The policy these leaders have advocated has not alone affected the Negro, but it has helped to retard the commercial development of the South. Our people have suffered most because they are the weaker. Tillman and Dixon have seized upon every occasion to aggravate public sentiment against the Negro. The former in his position United States Senator has thrown his weight always against any sentiment or public movement calculated to redound to the interest of our people. Dixon as a preacher and a writer of prolific proportions has painted the Negro as a hideous monster far overshadowing the gentle, faithful creature pictured by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Vardaman has been a political red shirt. He has the vitral of Tillman and the eloquence of Dixon, supplemented with concentrated hatred of the elements responsible for his elevation. Yet in the face of such oppression the Negro has been coming by leaps. In Mississippi he has been the greatest evidence of material progress. All over the land the Negro has come up, despite the heavy opposition. Age and disease are moving Tillman into justly merited oblivion. A dramatised version of the Clansman is but the faint echo of the departing steps of Dixon. Vardaman says he will come back. He was a strong candidate in the senatorial fight and the salvation of conservative Mississippi will depend on the good work of Senator Percy. It is to be hoped that the southern chapter of vituperation and hatred is closed, and that a better day for all good citizens has come. THE MAYOR SPEAKS. Now that the question of holding a special election seems to have been definitely settled, Mayor Speer comes back to the always interesting "beautiful Denver." In his recent address before the Y. M. C. A. he carefully outlined many things for the beautifying of our city. In his appeal for a better and more beautiful city, he made plain that all classes could and should lend a hand. The movement for more parks and handsomer boulevards must be backed up by better lawns and neater homes. Our city being comparatively new is not cursed with the collection of shacks so often seen in other towns. But there is always something to do about our homes to make them more attractive to the eye of the stranger within our gates and more comfortable to those who live there. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 5 1910. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing Th ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Our people are now heavy buyers of Denver real estate and it becomes their duty to help make our city more beautiful. With more beautiful homes owned by Negroes and a decided increase in the amount to our credit in the savings banks, there will be, no doubt, efforts made to provide employment for good citizens. "KEEP RACES APART" New Orleans, La.—During the recent session of the Louisiana A. M. E. Conference, held in this city, Bishop Lampton advised the two races to keep separate, stating in part: "I appeal to every Negro in the land, led on by your ministers of the gospel to so stand in the fulfillment of his obligation, in the keeping of the letter and the spirit of the law, of both God and man, that the mob shall have no excuse to wretch vengeance upon my people. I appeal to every Negro in the land to keep inviolate those lines of separation between the races' in public and in private, so that the mobs will have no excuse to wreak its vengeance upon my race. I appeal to every Negro in the land, North, South, East and West, to turn his face from seeking any kind of commerce by law or by force with the females of the other race, so that the mob shall have no excuse to wreak vengeance upon my race. I believe that there is a future for my people, but it must be through separation along social lines. I do not seek admission into the parlor of any white man, nor do I invite him into my parlor in a social way. I want only for my people protection under the law, and we will make our own social circles, will enlistain our own men and women and will build up our race.—Jackson Gazette. VARDAMAN DEFEATED. Jackson, Miss., Feb. 22. The long Legislature deadlock over the candidacy of ex-Gov. James K. Vardaman and the most significant political fight waged in Mississippi in years came to a close here Tuesday, in the election of Leroy Percy of Geeenville, lawyer and planter, as United States senator to succeed the late Senator A. J. McLaurin. The struggle was between the conservative old family class as represented by the successful candidate and the radical Negro hating class under the leadership of Mississippi's greatest firebrand. Mr. Percy had a majority of five votes in joint legislation causus over ex-Gov. Vardaman. The result came on the fifty-eighth ballot of the causus and was brought about through a process of elimination, terminating a deadlock --- which had prevailed seven weeks. When the caucus met Tuesday withdrawals of the several candidates having the fewer votes came fast. Congressman Adam Byrd, John Byrd, John Kyle, and H. H. Street followed each other out, and the struggle narrowed down to the two leading contestants. The votes controlled by those candidates who withdrew went almost solidly to Percy, giving him 87 votes to 82 for Vardaman on the first ballot. THE COLOR LINE AMONG NEGROES When the Negro reaches the point where the color of the skin is a bar to or cause of preferment, he is the object of contempt, rather than pity. The Colored Methodist Episcopal church composed of the descendants of the Negro members of the Methodist Episcopal church South (white), are at odds and ends over the question of the color of the bishops to be elected at the coming quadrennial conference. On the bench of bishops there is now but one of the dark hue, all the others being mulattoes, quadroons or octoroons. The issue which confronts the delegates is, to vote for a black or "valler" man. Could the discussion of any other question reflect more disgrace upon the Negro people of this country than one upon which the colored Methodists are threatened with disintegration? One could, by an extraordinary stretch of the imagination conceive a secular organization seriously considering the color line—and then he would do violence to his manhood—but he thought of a church built upon the teachings of the Son of God, going so far astray from its cardinal principles, brings him up with a shock dangerous to his mentality. Even if they can forget the civil and political restrictions which hedge us round about on account of our color, we do not see how our churchmen can square the dictum of the Brotherhood of man with any such tomfoolery.—Advocate, Charleston, W. Va. COLORADO SPRINGS NEWS. Mrs. J. F. Curtis, an old pioneer of Colorado Springs, died Tuesday, March 1st, from a paralytic stroke. The death of Mrs. Curtis was indeed a severe shock to the family and friends as her death was very sudden, taking sick last Saturday evening. The community at large is greatly bereaved. Mrs. Curtis was a great Christian leader and church worker. She was a member of Payne's chapel, A. M. E. Church. The funeral was held Thursday from Payne's chapel, Rev. J. W. Braxton officiating. She leaves a husband, son, two daughters, three grand children, a mother, two brothers and a host of friends to mourn her loss. The Masonic lodge, No. 5, of which Mr. Curtis was a member, donated a large sum of money toward Mrs. Curtis' burial. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 22.—The only textile mill in the State owned by Negroes was incorporated today at Durham, with $50,000 capital stock. It will make hosiery and underwear. Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 21.—A second Negro bank has just been organized and launched in the city of Memphis. The opening of another bank is a matter of great encouragement to the Negroes throughout Tennessee. A fine outfit of up-to-date printing office furniture, a large assortment of job type, new job presses and material have been added to the printing department of Howard University. Forman Giles now has one of the best-equipped printing establishments in the city and is turning out some "gilt edged" work and plenty of it. Visitors to Howard University find the printing department interesting and instructive. New York, Feb. 23.—An agreement among the heirs approved by Supreme Court Justice Gerard today saves for the purpose intended by the testator the sum $1,000,000 bequeathed by the late Mrs. Caroline Phelps stokes for the education of whites, Indians and Negroes. The attorney general of the state becomes the custodian of the trust fund and will shortly be paid $800,000 as the first installment. Brooklyn, Ill, Feb. 22.—Mrs. Kate Girder, of this place, enjoys the probable honor of being the only woman in the world who owns and manages a baseball club. Mrs. Kate Girder, who in the owner and manager of the Kentucky baseball club, is a colored woman, and is well known in this community. She is now securing players for her ball club, and is also the owner of her own park, where games will be played during the season. This is something new, even in baseball. Jackson, Miss., Feb. 8.—The Negroes of Mississippi are stirred up over the possibility of the colored postmaster at Ocean Springs being removed. It is reported in this city and other points in the State that a white man has been recommended to take the place of the Negro postmaster at Ocean Springs. Although he has served most acceptably to all the patrons NO.25 of the office during a period of some twenty years, and no adverse criticism has been made against his work or his official record, designing politicians for some reason seem to have made up their minds that he should be removed because he is a Negro. Holly Springs, Miss., Feb. 22. Some time ago Anderw Carnegie made a conditional offer of $25,000 to the Mississippi Industrial College, established at this place by Bishop Cottrell, to take the place of the school which ex-Gov. Vardaman failed by refusal to appropriate money for its maintenance. In one year the Negroes have raised $13,000 toward the amount required before being able to secure Mr. Carnegie's gift. The Negroes of this State have given more than $80,000 already for this college, and they are fully alive to the necessity of continuing to appropriate money for the education of their children. Tuskegee, Ala., Feb. 22—Seth Lew, President of the Board of Trustees, made the principal address today at the dedication of the $100,000 dining hall and assembly room at the Tuskegee Institute. The building is called Tompkins Hall, in memory of Chas. D. Tompkins, Southport, Conn., whose widow contributed the first money toward the erection of the building. Robert C. Ogden, President of the Board of Trustees, of Hampton Institute, presided at the meeting. Among the party from the North, attending the exercises was Mrs. J. G. Thorpe, of Cambridge, Mass., a daughter of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Dayton, Ohio, Feb. 23.—The question of, "When does a pig become a hog?" will be settled by a jury composed exclusively of Negroes, the first in Ohio, when Magistrate Brinkel hears the case of Benjamin Howell against Francis Eger. Powell became the owner of a baby pig, and was too busy to attend to it. He turned it over to a neighbor woman for the pigs board and keep. One half was to go to her pork barrel at butchering time," the pig was turned over to a third party, who found the job too heavy, and in turn gave it to his neighbor. Now it is ready for the ax. Most of the parties interested in the litigation over the pig are colored. Powell claims the animal is still a pig.

MINORITY IS OPPOSED EX-GOV. ALVA ADAMS WANTS ALL GOVERNMENT LAND CEDED TO THE STATE. Denver.—The closing session of the Colorado conservation commission Wednesday afternoon was a stormy meeting, in which various commissioners adopted personalities in expressing their sentiments. The split in the ranks which gave occasion for heated argument was over the report of the resolutions committee on that portion of the report which had to do with the care of coal, timber and oil lands with in the state now under the control of the federal government. The committee was divided on the matter, the majority submitting a resolution lauding the policy of Secretary Ballinger. Former Governor Alva Adams, however, offered a minority report, which urged the organization to stand in favor of the federal government ceding all lands within the state to the state to be managed as are the state lands. The reading started the fight and after a bitter debate was voted down and the majority report accepted. In the course of the controversy, Dr. John Grass, vice president of the commission, bitterly assailed the Colorado land board for the policy it had followed in the handling of certain lands. This brought forth an animated reply from the sponsor of the minority report to the effect that any irregularities in the state land office were infinitestimal in comparison to the scandals which have laid bare the workings of the federal department. The assertion by Dr. Grass that he had ineffectively pleaded with the state land board to save for the state land selling for only $5 an acre, was followed with the ammonious query by D. C. Beaman, addressed personally to Dr. Grass, as to whether he had pleaded as earnestly before the land board for the saving of the land as he did before the federal government to "secure that vast tract of land in that locality—Las Animas valley—which is yielding you such handsome royalties." Throughout the entire session the debate was personal and as a result of the controversy little actual business was done. The re-election of F. C. Goudy as president and W. G. M. Stone as secretary were made unanimous. Three vice presidents, Kenneth Fahnestock, Alva Adams and John Grass, were also unanimously named. The name of Gifford Pinchot was brought into the discussion relative to the report of the forestry committee. The majority report was branding as efficient the federal policy, but Mr. Beaman submitted a minority report, declaring he was opposed to "unnecessary adulteration of government policy," contending the report gave insufficient mention of Colorado men who have worked for so long in forestry affairs. He declared the name of Pinchot never would have been heard of by the people if E. T. Ensign, the first president of the Forestry Association, "had had a press agent and a staff of magazine writers." The members of the organization listened intently to his remarks, but gave no indication of their feeling for the deposed forester. Having devoted so much time to the debating of the report of the resolutions committee, the commission was unable to conclude its business and adjourned to meet again in this city on the first Monday in April. By the provisions of the resolution, the only matter to be considered at that session will be the water power question. The Central Colorado Power Company has commenced to extend its transmission line from the Nederland dam through the Roger's patent, where various mining properties will be operated to the Wolf Tongue properties, thence to the big Primos mill and from there to the Boulder county mill at Cardinal. It is said that a further extension to Caribou will be made this summer. Word was recently received from the United States census bureau by State Auditor Roady Kenehan, informing him that there would be no appropriations made for state institutions this year for carrying on the work of the geological survey. In the past the government has rendered the state educational institutions some assistance in obtaining facts for the geological survey, but this year the money usually spent in that way is to be used in taking the census. Through its executive committee the state board of agriculture authorized the expenditure next year of $7,000 in potato experiments by the Agricultural college at Fort Collins, Greeley, Fort Morgan, Julesburg, Carbondale, Cheyenne, Dei Norte, Montrose and Middle Park. During the month of February eight business houses failed in Colorado, according to the report of Bradstreet's Mercantile agency. The total assets of the concerns are $85,248, while their liabilities are $162,542. Five of the failures occurred in Denver.

In a head-on collision of cars of the Illinois Electric Interurban road near Canton, on the 1st inst., three,persons were killed and fifteen passengers injured. The killed were Motorman Everett Engle and John Owens and Hiram Henry, employees. "Red" Adams, the swindler convicted at New York of using the mails to collect funds for pushing imaginary claims to the estate of Shr Francis Drake, was sentenced by United States Judge Hough to four and one-half years in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, and to pay a fine of $1,500. Clifford B. Harmon, aeronaut, plans an aerial voyage from New York to San Antonio, Tex., and the establishment of a new world's record for long distance flights, bettering the record of 1,200 miles set by Count De La Vaux last year in France. A combined Oxford and Cambridge rugby football team will visit the United States this fall to play a series of games in Canada and the West.

Bartlett, who commanded the Roosevelt on the Peary expedition. "I shall believe Dr. Cook the explorer, is an honest man until there is definite proof to the contrary," declared Maurice F. Egan, minister to Denmark, in an address at Washington. Fully half the people in Denmark, Dr. Egan said, still believe that Dr. Cook reached the pole. F. Hopkinson Smith, the noted author, is quoted as saying that the manners of the people of New York are the worst in the world. "The great trouble," he says, "is that our young men are coming back from the colleges ignorant of manners. If I were put in charge of a college I should establish a chair of manners." Thor Johnson, the Swedish professional runner, has established a new indoor Marathon record in the Sixtyninth regiment armory in New York by going the full distance, 26 miles, 385 yards, in two hours 36 minutes and 55 1-5 seconds over a 10-lap track. Dorando's best time, made at Madison Square Garden, was 2:44:55 1-5. "Children with bad teeth require half a year longer to complete eight grades in primary schools than do children with sound teeth," said Leonard P. Ayres of New York, secretary of the Russell Sage foundation, in discussing "Children Differ in Mental Alertness" before the convention of the department of superintendents of the National Educational Association at Indianapolis. The balloon New York, aboard which Clifford Harmon and his aide, George B. Harrison, set out from San Antonio, Tex., in an attempt to better the long distance balloon record, landed near Velonia, Ark., on account of a storm. The balloon made a remarkable aerial journey of 790 miles. By traveling the distance Harmon lays claim to the Lahm cup, the trophy for long distance balloon flights. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. After a brief general discussion the Senate passed the bill authorizing the issuance of $30,000,000 worth of certificates of indebtedness for the completion of irrigation projects already under way. Wyoming increases in national forest grazing permits this year are 93,000 cattle and horses and 801,000 head of sheep, the larger increases being 225,000 sheep on the Hayden reserve, 215,000 head of sheep on the Wyoming reserve. The date of opening the Cour d'Alene lands in Idaho and the Flat Head lands in Montana has been changed from April 1 to May 2. The classification and appraisal of the Couer d'Alene lands was not completed in time for the opening on April 1. Reforms put into effect at the Philadelphia mint partly by the introduction of automatic machinery also are to be supplied to the mints at Denver, San Francisco and New Orleans. At Philadelphia the machines will displace seventy-nine people. A bill, which if passed, would declare the members of the "beef trust" recently indicted in New Jersey, fugitives from justice and compel their extradition to New Jersey to stand trial was introduced in the House by Representative Henry, Democrat, of Texas. Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas was denied the privilege of striking from the Record a statement in his testimony before the House committee on public lands in advocacy of the Arkansas "sunk lands" bill, that he would receive a large legal fee if the bill were passed. Senator Gallinger has introduced a bill to incorporate the Rockefeller foundation for general philanthropic work on all lines. The incorporators named in the bill are John D. Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Fred T. Gates, Starr J. Murphy and Charles O. Heydt, are authorized to select associates, not to exceed twenty-five, and it is provided that there shall not be at any time less than five. President Taft has instructed the American ambassador at St. Petersburg, Mr. Rockhill, to make strong representations to the Russian government looking to the inviolability of American passports in that country. Mr. Rockhill, it is stated, will take the mater up personally with the Emperor. The Jews of this country want action that will give American citizens freedom from political arrest in Russia. A bill appropriating $12,000,000 for the construction of a building for the state, justice and commerce and labor departments was favorably reported to the Senate. An echo of the financial operations of Cassie Chadwick five years ago was heard Monday when the President commuted, to expire immediately, the seven years sentence imposed on Arthur B. Speer, the cashier of the Citizens' National Bank of Oberlin, O., for making false entries. The prisoner had served all but four months of his sentence. Mrs. Chadwick died in prison. I use brains, tact and deliberation in the executing of wedding, party, dinner and reception decorations and in floral design and floral arrangements for funerals, having had 18 years of experience in florist business.

AMONG KINGS AND POTENTATES THERE are some pictures in Collier's Weekly of February 19th which should interest all of the Negroes of the United States. The principal picture referred to is a group representing two bishops, ex-President Roosevelt, the British royal commissioner, the king of Uganda and several royal princes and regents of the black protectorate. From appearances, some of the black men might easily pass as dignitaries among their more presuming but less regal brothers of the United States. But the fact that they have a great country, over which Great Britain assumes authority and sovereignty, and that they are being civilized, educated and Christianized, is little known to us civilized and educated Christians of the West. The Mengo high school is a missionary boarding school maintained for the boy princess and chiefs of the protectorate. Ex-President Roosevelt was welcomed by a fife and drum corps of the Roman Catholic mission, the first organization of its kind among the natives. Even Denver cannot boast of a Negro fife and drum corps. Just recall how we follow a minstrel band and then imagine what an influence the fife and drum must exert upon the astonished ears and hearts of the far away native. We have many years the start of those people in far away Uganda, but their rising generation appear to have some pretty bright prospects. They have no stage ambitions, no prize rings, no sporting careers, no moving picture shows to distract them, but with their innocent native amusements for diversion, they are applying themselves to the real education of head and hand. We are ahead of them now, all right, but the question is, are we going to stay ahead of them? PURE WATER A city's water is a city's life, more than anything else. You can carry meat and provisions and fuel anywhere, to meet almost any demand, and keep them in healthful and serviceable condition, but you cannot always provide the same safe and adequate supply of water. Then the people of a city can make daily choice or change their supply of meats and other provisions, selecting the best in their judgment at will, refusing the poor and the stale, but they must take the water that is provided for them, in the manner in which it is provided. Infected meats and provisions can be quickly condemned and banished by food inspectors and health commissioners, but a germ-burdened water supply must be allowed to work its havoc upon the health and the life of the unsuspecting or helpless citizen until tiresome tests and experiments and almost endless sacrifices lead to the correction of the evil. Pure water is a blessing with which no city or community can afford to part. If they have it, they should rather spend millions of dollars than to give it up. A pure water supply for a large city is not easily obtained. The mere tapping of water sources, impounding in reservoirs and the digging of ditches and laying of pipes for its conduct and distribution will not insure its purity, no matter how clean the original supply. In fact, when long ditches, canals and conduits are necessary, pure water will quickly become impure if it is improperly impounded or allowed to flow through improper courses. The poisonous seepage of improper courses or dangerous tributaries will so thoroughly infect a pure water supply as to totally destroy its virtue in the homes of the consumers. A pure water supply for a large community is the result of the most careful and painstaking work of years. It cannot be guaranteed as an original product, and the city that would risk obtaining it upon an experimental project would hazard the health and the lives of its citizens in a most foolish manner. New York City is now spending one hundred and sixty million dollars to make its water supply more adequate and pure. Philadelphia has just spent more than thirty-five million dollars for the installation of a huge filtration plant alone, to improve and purify its dangerously unhealthy water supply, and the work is not yet finished. Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans have had similar experiences and many other large cities have this problem of impure water supply to face. The people of Denver do not appreciate well enough the fact that they have passed far beyond that point of danger. Our present water supply is a filtered, purified and protected water supply, of a character impossible to be duplicated by less than the work of many years, if at all. The source of its original supply, the location and character and extent of its reservoirs, with their scientific construction and unremitting care, the filtration beds and processes which make and keep the water wholesome and pure, with ample, modern mains and pipes for its distribution, make a water system as perfect as that of any city in the world, and one which the citizens of Denver cannot afford to dispense with. The self-interested, responsible and unremitting care of private enterprise, represented by the officials of the Denver Union Water Company, has made this possible and their chief reward is the health of the city. There can be no condition or cost that would give the citizens of Denver reasonable warrant to ignore or sacrilege the work on their behalf which the company has so wisely consummated. Modern Husbands Admire Feminine Mental Acumen By ADA MAY KRECKER T IS WRITTEN of a European literary luminary that he said he wanted for a wife a charming little house mistress who did not know even her three R's. When she had a letter to write he would expect her to ask him, "How in the world dearest, do you spell 'eat'?" An incident which points the moral of changing times, manners and men. This celebrity did not live in our century, as might be guessed from his ideas. For they are not contemporary. I Some modern men still prefer that their wives shall not be their "intellectual rivals," as one man phrased it. But the representative husbands of the hour relish feminine mental acumen and take pride in any unusual powers of mind which may grace their consorts. They enjoy the achievements of their wives. They are pleased with wifely accomplishment in music or in art or in literature or in some business or profession or in club or philanthropic enterprises. The husband of a well-known London suffragette recently arrested, has written to an American journal a little account of the imprisonment and bespeaks his admiration for her courage and devotion. This is a distinctly modern husband and remarkably different from the centuries of men who are held responsible by the sociologists for dwarfing women both physically and mentally by their never failing choice of the petitely dainty figure and the frivolously little mind for their matrimonial partners. But the current idea is for the education of the masses. Everybody must be encouraged to do, to rise. Ambition is not only commended but fostered, stimulated. The modern nations point proudly to the ascent of their great from humble beginnings. America is glad that barefoot cabin boys and wood cutters have become presidents. There are congratulations for the aspiration, for the education and for the achievement of those who formerly were held to be desperately base, doomed by destiny, condemned by their own nature, to positions and functions of inferiority. The modern spirit is for elevating the position of woman, for making her a national as well as a domestic figure, for making her a ruler as well as a subject; for educating and enfranchising her and for giving her positions of moment in public spheres which hitherto have been deemed above her. A. H. The rise of the masses toward the rank of the classes and the rise of women toward the dignities of men run in many respects parallel. And they both are phases of the current tide toward democracy. Many Causes Leading to High Prices By PROF. H. A. DAWSON Of California University Many Causes Leading to High Prices By PROF. H. A. DAWSON Of California University There are other causes operating to raise the price of living necessities than trusts and middlemen and cold storage plants and sundry other alleged reasons one hears of and reads about. I think in any analysis of the situation attention should be given to the change that has come over the American people, say in the last 30 or 40 years. We are not the same in temperament or practice with our fathers. For one thing, the national life has been poisoned by graft. The petty tipping nuisance is only graft on a small scale. Nobody thought of paying the men who waited on him in a hotel a generation ago or of adding anything to the usual fee of a barber. To do a man a service gratuitously was a pleasure in the old days, but now pay is expected for the slightest deed. What I am driving at is this: Producers and holders of produce constituting the necessities of life are employing the graft principle in their business. They are squeezing the public simply because the public is helpless. All that the consumer pays beyond a reasonable per cent. of profit is graft pure and simple, extortion being but another name for it. Man Needs but Little Meat By A. A. HITCHCOCK Many men and women will find to their surprise, during the next 30 days, that they can subsist without meat. This lesson will be, perhaps, one of the most valuable that will be taught by the campaign now under way to abstain from eating meat. The American housewife has to learn that but little meat is needed on the bill of fare unless the members of her household engage in hard physical labor. She will learn that many toothsome and nourishing dishes may be prepared from vegetables and fruits. The problem will be to properly prepare the dishes so that they will be nourishing and at the same time palatable. This campaign will emphasize the need of a cook book, practical and cheap, that will instruct the housewife in the proper use of vegetables, fruits and nuts. Perhaps such a book will be forthcoming soon. Why City Man Cannot Own Farm By W. EMERSON Of Chicago I am a wage earner and bought from my savings ten acres in New York, intending to settle there and raise small vegetables. My wife is an expert gardener and as I had managed a small farm in England we believed we could make a success of it. But, strive as we might, we could not get the amount together to go there, build a home, buy tools and start. And why? Practically all I earn is needed for rent and the living expenses grow higher as the time flies by.

But, strive as we might, we could not get the amount together to go there, build a home, buy tools and start. And why? Practically all I earn is needed for rent and the living expenses grow higher as the time flies by. I offered the land as security to get the loan, but without success. There is my land, taxes all paid up to date. Here we are, with little prospect of ever spending our remaining days or our own land. Why? No funds.

NOTES OF THE PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Sermon topics, Sunday, March 6th: 11 a. m., "Judas—A Moral Coward." 6:45 p. m., Y. P. S. C. E., "Christ Our Guide." (Consecration Meeting.) 7:30 p. m., "Is it I?" J. A. THOS-HAZELL, S. T. B., Pastor. By special request we have been asked to state to the public that the Women's Sewing Circle, in connection with our church work, has been recently organized with Mrs. Lucy Hall as president. The society promises to do much along their special line. Membership is opened to all who desire to help the cause. Further information can be gotten from the president, 921 East 27th street. The Literary Society on Thursday night's is drawing large crowds. The Thursday night Dr. Bailey, a skilled musician in various departments, will entertain "The Forum." A crowded house is much desired to hear the doctor. The Bible Institute on Friday nights aims to both inspire and inform its students in the word of God. The attendance of all the members and friends of the church will be appreciated. The choir and Sabbath school will present to the public an elaborate program Easter Sunday. This will be the last exercise to be rendered for this Presbyterial year, which closes on the 31st inst., after which the pastor and an elder of the church will attend the spring meeting of the Presbytery at the Central Presbyterian church early in April. Full report for the year's work, dating from April 1st, 1909, to March 31st, 1910, will then be made. Inasmuch as the church has taken on newness of life during the past nine months, and has flourished along all lines numerically, financially and spiritually, we feel our report will be second to none in the Presbytery in Denver. N SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES The Rev. J. J. Cabbell, district superintendent, is in the city. He will hold the fourth quarterly conference tonight and preach tomorrow morning at 11, and in the afternoon. He came from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Denver Friday. Scott cut off twenty-three dead limbs last Monday night at the official board meeting. There is to be some more pruning unless the members ap- pear and give reasons why they do not attend the services for their spiritual growth. Mrs. Mary G.

INSTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOLS Children Being Taught the Nature and Methods of Prevention of Tuberculosis. Definite instruction concerning the nature and methods of prevention of tuberculosis is being given to less than six per cent. of the public school children of the United States, according to a bulletin of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Recent investigation has shown that in only nine cities, Washington, Dallas, Tex., Richmond, Va., Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Detroit, Mich., Malden, Mass., Salem, Mass., Saginaw, Mich., and Knoxville, Tenn., are special text books being used or lectures being given about tuberculosis. In three states and one territory, Michigan, Massachusetts, North Carolina and Porto Rico, laws have been passed requiring that instruction about the nature and methods of prevention of tuberculosis be given in all public schools. In Tennessee the state department of education has requested that such instruction be given and has issued circulars for this purpose. In New Jersey and West Virginia wall cards giving instruction are hung in every schoolroom and the attention of all children is called to them. A Pause in Devotions "Mabel!" called her father, outside her bedroom door. There was no answer, so he called again. Still no reply. He pushed open the door, which was not completely shut, and reaching for the button, turned on the lights. Then he saw Mabel. She was kneeling at the side of her bed in her nightgown, in the attitude of prayer—the attitude, that is, as to kneeling. But she had raised her head at the interruption and paused in her devotions to blaze at him with a face flushed with impatience: "Gee whiz, daddy! Can't a woman say her prayers?" Then she bowed her head again, pliously, and daddy, properly rebuked, slipped noiselessly away. Opera the Great Leveler. At one of the Wagner operas a few days ago a woman nudged her friend and said: "Who is that distinguished man bowing to you over there?" Her friend looked in the direction designated and smiled in a return greeting. "That's my butcher," she said. "I see him here quite often. When I go marketing in the morning we always discuss the opera. He's a German, you know, and really knows a lot about other things besides cutting meat."—New York Sun. What It Meant. "Robbie," asked the school mistress, "what does history mean when it says that in the country's pioneer days some of the settlers didn't have a roof over their heads?" "It means that in them days the woman couldn't afford any merry widow hats!" A. GOOD CHANGE A Change of Food Works Wonders. The wrong food and drink causes a lot of trouble in this world. To change the food is the first duty of every person that is ill, particularly from stomach and nervous troubles. As an illustration: A lady in Mo. has, with her husband, been brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that did not agree with them. They began using Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She says: "For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept getting worse unutil I was very ill most of the time. About four years ago I left off coffee and began taking Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but I was so reduced in flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome me. "Then I changed my food and began using Grape-Nuts in addition to Postum. I lived on these two principally for about four months. Day by day I gained in flesh and strength until now the nervous trouble has entirely disappeared and I feel that I owe my life and health to Postum and Grape-Nuts. "Husband is 73 years old and he was troubled for a long time with occasional cramps, and slept badly. Finally I prevailed upon him to leave off coffee and take Postum. He had stood out for a long time, but after he tried Postum for a few days he found that he could sleep and that his cramps disappeared. He was satisfied and has never gone back to coffee. "I have a brother in California who has been using Postum for several years; his whole family use it also because they have had such good results from it."

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Suffragists Plan to Charm the Senate Monk Chases Longworth Dinner Guests Monk Chases Longworth Dinner Guests Enough Useful Animals to Destroy Man How Col. Lyon Created a Federal Job SENATE PETITION WASHINGTON.—The annual national convention of women suffragists, which will be held in Washington the week of April 14, will be the most notable gathering of its kind in point of numbers and personnel that ever has taken place in this country. Never before have women of such wealth and social position journeyed to the national capitol to press their cause. Their presence will be celebrated by Washington society with a round of social functions. Many of the society delegates will wear their most fetching toilettes to the convention and they hope to convert many statesmen by showing them that it is not only the masculine type of women who wants the ballot. There is another and more potent reason for the fair suffragists wearing their most elaborate costumes. For the first time the women delegates will appear in person before the senate. They will present to the upper house of congress the giant petition for which names have been gathered for several years from every state in the union. The petition praying for universal suffrage contains more than 1,000,000 names. Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, president of the Equal Franchise society, will IF COL. ROOSEVELT is having any more thrilling adventures in Africa than a number of distinguished persons had in the dining room of his daughter, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, in Washington, they think he owes it to his family to come home at once. According to the tidings brought to the front by the society reporters, there was a monkey hunt at the Longworths that left the company duly impressed with the terrors of the jungle. It appears that Representative and Mrs. Longworth were giving a dinner in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt of New York. Along toward the close of the dinner the talk drifted to animals, and Mrs. Longworth described two pet monkeys she recently acquired. The guests expressed a desire to see the animals and Mrs. Longworth had the cage carried into the dining room. In some way the door of the cage became unfastened and one of the monkeys escaped. It leaped to the center of the table, and, turning a handspring, climbed to the chandelier, where it hung by its tall and chat- WOULDNT THAT MAKE YOU THIRSTY? IF ALL the useful animals in the world were to organize themselves for revolt against the cruelties of man they would outnumber any human army that could be brought against them, even if every man, woman and child marched from the four corners of the earth to enlist. The department of agriculture at Washington has issued a report showing that the number of useful animals more than equals the population of the earth. Gen. Bellwether could organize his sheep into a division of 580,000,000, outnumbering the Chinese by more than 100,000,000. The horse could have a cavalry division of more than 95,000,000, with a corps of more than 7,000,000 mules and 9,000,000 jackasses COL. CECIL LYON of Texas is a millionaire ranchman who plays politics for the fun of it, and who plays so well he is now credited with the ownership of the Republican party of Texas. When Col. Lyon gets up out of a chair he opens up like a carpenter's rule, a section at a time. When he talks you can stay out in the next room and miss none of the story, for Col. Lyon is typical of his big state. Col. Lyon sat in the Press club in Washington one evening and told of the job he got in Texas for a young gentleman of color who wanted to be one of the delegates. Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont will be one of the representatives of the Political Equality association. Many suffragists in New York have become greatly exercised over the recent meeting held by Mrs. Belmont at the Mount Olivet Baptist church, at which she took many negro women into her organization. It has caused many to speculate as to the possibility of enfranchising the negro women of the southern states. Many letters have been exchanged during the past week between the New York women and the suffragist workers in the south discussing the manner in which the colored women's vote can be eliminated "if we get the vote." "Yes," said Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, "it is true that the southern women wish to bar the colored woman from voting. But as the national association stands for universal suffrage at all times and in all places, we cannot countenance this action of the southern women. The southern states that belong to the national association are Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Maryland and Tennessee." Mrs. Belmont gave out the following statement regarding her stand on the matter: "I do not consider the suffrage question a social question in any sense of the word. It is purely a political question and must only be considered as such. The matter of political equality has no connection with social equality. I think each state has the right to settle this matter for itself." tered at the company. The women shrieked and scrambled to their chairs, while the men fell over each other in trying to evolve masures of protection and at the same time capture the beast. The monkey eluded the brave hunters with ease. It sprang from the chandelier to the slideboard, ran around the room three or four times, while the women and some of the men went rapidly out of the nearest doors. Then it vaulted into the plate rail, where it did a few stunts to the damage of much bric-a-brac. Finally it intrenched itself behind a jardiniere, where eventually it was captured. When the monkey was restored to its cage and quiet had settled down over the dinner once more, Mrs. Bourke Cockran, who is visiting Gen. and Mrs. Clarence Edwards, expressed the opinion that there was something wrong with the construction of the nest provided for Mrs. Longworth's pets. She had been in the Philippines and she thought she knew something about the building of homelike monkey nests. Cotton and soft grass were produced, and Mrs. Cockran proceeded to rearrange the monkey's home. The beasts did not appreciate her efforts, however, and one of them bit her thumb. A physician examined the wound and said there would be no dangerous consequences. to carry supplies to the front. About 100,000,000 goats could furnish milk, while 21,000,000 buffaloes could stamp out Spain man by man. Meanwhile 2,000,000 camels could campaign in their familiar conditions of deserts and dry places and 900,000 hardy reindeer could sweep the northern climes. There are, as nearly as can be estimated, 1,500,000,000 useful animals in the world, including, in addition to those mentioned, enormous numbers of cattle and hogs. The United States leads in the number of swine, with about 50,000,00—a third of all in the world. Australia leads with sheep—88,000,000, the United States being third with 57,000,000. European Russia and the United States are about even on horses, with about 25,000,000 each; more than half the mules are here. British India is the principal habitat of the goat; there are 30,000,000 there. The camel is usually associated with Egypt, but but there are only 175,000 there, against 700,000 in Asiatic Russia. work for the government. Lyon looked over the pay roll of employees at the federal building at home. There were no vacancies and most of the jobs had a long waiting list of applicants. Lyon looked abroad at the lists of employees in other federal buildings. He found a job he didn't know about. It was the job of a char woman. Col. Lyon looked it up in the dictionary and found that a char woman was one who polished doorknobs and things. There were plenty of knobs in the federal building back home, but his man was not a woman, and the dictionaryies made no mention of char men. This did not stop Col. Lyon of Texas. He created the office of charman, the only one in existence, so far as Washington knows, and the young man who wanted to work for the government is polishing knobs with great elat. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL-3 PER CENT Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

There is a church in Brooklyn that has adopted a novel scheme for enlarging its Sunday school. It advertises for boys and girls to come to it. In the shop windows in the neighborhood of the church one may see placards, such as are used for advertising entertainments of various kinds, that bear the legend: "Wanted—Boys and girls to join our Sunday school."

ROCKEFELLER, JR., WILL HEAD GREAT CHARITY CORPORATION. LEAVES OIL BUSINESS OIL KING'S SON AIMS TO BE THE KING OF NATION'S PHILANTHROPISTS. New York.—Among charities the new Rockefeller foundation is to become what the Standard Oil Company has long been among corporations, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., as its head will in another sphere of influence perpetuate the domination so long maintained in the world of industry by his father. The younger Rockefeller announced Thursday that he had recently retired from the directorate of the Standard Oil Company to assume the management of his father's benefactions. No successor has been named to fill his place in the oil company. The announcement in Wall street was taken to mean two things—that all past estimates of young Rockefeller's future must now be revised, and that hereafter the Rockefeller millions will no longer be a market factor. Instead, it is assumed, they will pass wholly into conservative securities, such as it is proper for trust funds, savings banks and insurance companies to acquire. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is now thirty-three years old. Greeted on his graduation from Brown University some years ago as in prospect the richest young man in the world, he now leaves the field to J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., ten years his elder. Morgan, Sr., and Rockefeller, Sr., are both very near the same age. The former will be seventy-three in April, and the latter was seventy some months ago. Bitho are in vigorous health. Young Rockefeller's relations with corporate finance in the future, it is understood, will consist chiefly in conserving the huge fortune amassed by his father, reinvesting the income and distributing such part of it as may seem wise. It is not thought likely that the new foundation for philanthropy, as proposed by the bill introduced in the United States Senate Wednesday will assume settled policies for years to come, but in this connection Frederick T. Gates, one of the incorporators of the foundation, said that two main points had been missed. "In the first place," indicated Gates, "every other eleemosynary institution has been organized for some specific object, and thus limited its sphere of helpfulness. "Another thing—there are no sectarian boundary lines in the charter of the new foundation, and nothing to prevent it from absorbing the work of other organizations which have outlived their usefulness under present conditions." Gates was understood to mean that there will be a gradual merger, along family Rockefeller lines, of the Rockefeller charities. The general understanding among those in the confidence of the family coincide with those of Senator Gallinger, who introduced the bill to incorporate the foundation, when he said that he believed ultimately the bulk of the Rockefeller fortune would be devoted to the work. One Hundred Avalanche Victims. Wellington, Washington.—The list of dead and missing passengers, trainmen and postal employees who were carried down by the avalanche that destroyed two Great Northern trains Tuesday morning, now contains eighty-six names. Statements of the number of laborers engaged in fighting the snow and who were sleeping on the ill-fated trains, vary from twenty to thirty. Consequently an estimate of 100 dead is conservative. The dead all were residents of the Northwest. Of the injured only one, the Rev. Bishop Winget of Chicago, was an easterner. The explorations have uncovered only dead, and some of these shockingly mangled. An avalanche of dry snow might have covered its victims alive, but the gorge is filled with snow, ice, huge trees and glacial boulders of enormous weight. Two of the bodies recovered were those of the electricians who were living in a cabin at the edge of Wellington and who were carried with their home 300 feet down the slope. Sixty Die in Alaska Mine. Juneau, Alaska.—Sixty men are dead and many injured as the result of a magazine explosion in the main shaft of the Treadwell mine Thursday. Twenty-tthree bodies have been recovered. Wanted Roosevelt for Editor. New York.—W. J. Arkell, a well-known publisher, admitted Thursday that he had attempted to buy the New York Sun and hoped to have Theodore Roosevelt for editor. "It is not true," he said, "that the Laffan heirs balked when it was learned Mr. Roosevelt was to assume charge. The truth is that I got in touch with the Laffan people and offered $2,000,000. They replied that they had already refused $3,500,000. There the negotiations ended. Later I may try again but not at $3,500,000." DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS Doan's Kidney Pills. A SPECIFIC FOR KIDNEY COMPLAINTS BURDENS LIFTED FROM BAD BACKS Weary is the back that bears the burden of kidney ills. There's no rest nor peace for the man or woman who has a bad back. The distress begins in early morning. You feel lame and not refreshed. It's hard to get out of bed. It hurts to stoop to tie your shoes. All day the ache keeps up. Any sudden movement sends sharp twinges through the back. It is torture to stoop or straighten. At night the sufferer retires to toss and twist and groan. Backache is kidney ache—a throbbing, dull aching in the kidneys. Plasters or liniments won't do. You must get at the cause, inside.

Four or five months ago I suffered a great deal from a pain across the small of my back, extending at times into my chest, and when I stooped or did any work that brought a strain on the muscles of my back, my trouble was aggravated. I had no pain or numbies but without success. After a short time I could see that they were benefiting me, and the contents of two and one-half boxes cured it." (Statement given in May, 1909). RE-ENDORSEMENT On Dec. 3rd, 1908, Mr. Sears said: "I still have great faith in Donan's Kidney, and endorsing this remedy as it has done so much for me."

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA "No tongue can tell how I suffered for five years with itching and bleeding eczema, until I was cured by the Cuticura Remedies, and I am so grateful I want the world to know, for what helped me will help others. My body and face were covered with sores. One day it would seem to be better, and then break out again with the most terrible pain and itching. I have been sick several times, but never in my life did I experience such awful suffering as with this eczema. I had made up my mind that death was near at hand, and I longed for that time when I would be at rest. I had tried many different doctors and medicines without success, and my mother brought me the Cuticura Remedies, insisting that I try them. I began to feel better after the first bath with Cuticura Soap, and one application of Cuticura Ointment. "I continued with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and have taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and consider myself well. This was nine years ago and I have had no return of the trouble since. Any person having any doubt about this wonderful cure by the Cuticura Remedies can write to my address.

B HAS COME INTO HER OWN Spinster of To-Day by No Means the Crabbed Old Maid of the "Comic" Papers. The day of the typical crabbed old maid is passed. Even the comic papers have ceased to make fun of spinsterhood in this guise. Her place has been taken by the independent woman who quickly enough finds her own niche in the world, and who generally has plenty of common sense to spare for the benefit of others. The old maid of to-day finds a whole realm of interest awaiting her, and plenty of work which she cares to do. No longer is she condemned to solitude and a cat, no longer is spinsterhood regarded as a term of reproach and looked upon as a condition to be ashamed of. Look at any of the big charities, any of the numerous boards of management, and you will see the old maid trumpant and at her best, happy enough in her work and her efforts to help humanity.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street Millinery Styles THE LADY OF THE RING By JULIA BOTTOMLEY. IN SPITE of all that is said about the fickleness of fashion, there are some hats that are always in are some hats that are always in style. Year after year, indeed, decade after decade, sees little change in them, either in shape or size, and none in texture. There is that most beautiful of hats, "the Panama," which for generations was made in about one shape for men and women. It is only within the last three years that the heavy buyers have been able to persuade the native makers to vary their model and produce a little variety in shape. This a doubtful advantage, for the trimmer takes the good, old forms and cleverly modifies them to the changing ideas of the passing season. Besides the Panama there is the beautiful Leghorn "flat." It has been produced for generations. With soft, flowing lines and a crown of normal size, and woven so fine that its body is as flexible as cloth, it is altogether so excellent that there is no use in looking for anything to excell it in simple beauty. The Leghorn is now blocked by the manufacturers into all sorts of shapes, but the flat brim and medium-sized crown lose nothing by comparison with newer forms. The clever trimmer takes the Leghorn flat EVENING DRESS. We show an exceedingly dainty dress here, suitable for ninon, crepe-dchine, or any soft material. The upper part is draped on to a princess lining, which continues as far as the hips; the skirt part is then gathered, and set to the edge of the princess, the joining being covered with bugle trimming. On the bodice it is arranged at the edge of chemisette, taken down to the waist on the right side. Small puffs of material form the sleeves, trimmed with crossings of the trimming, and set to bands of the same. Materials required: Five yards ninon 44 inches wide, $5\frac{1}{2}$ yards trimming, nalf yard lace. The New Shades for Spring. Elephant gray, gold ochre, burnt bread, laurel green, raspberry and twilight pink are some of the colors in which smart frocks for southern wear have made their appearance. ```markdown ``` and manipulates it at will, changing its outlines to suit the vagaries of her patrons' fancy, or her own. But she will never improve upon the lovely lines of the original shape. The day will not dawn within our time, when this beautiful hat will be out of style. The same hat has its outlines rendered a little rigid and, its underbrim faced with a demi-facing of black velvet. A wreath of big, full-blown roses and foliage adorn it. It simply spells the summer girl. It is associated in our minds with girlhood, and season after season appeals to us with undiminished charm. Besides the Leghorn there are the Milan braids and the beautiful diaphanous Neapolitans, all made in the "flat" shape with trifling variations in the shape of the crown from season to season. The Milan has more body, that is, it is heavier in texture than the others and is therefore more used for general utility. Such a hat is shown with a mass of chrysanthemums about the crown and a wing at the side. The initial expense of a fine hat in either of these weaves is money well spent. They are things of beauty and even capricious Fashion seems to regard them as joys forever. PROPER USE OF ANTIQUES For Best Effects, the Articles Should Have a Room Exclusively to Themselves. Those who rummage the second-hand stores and attics for old furniture and bric-a-brac often obtain what they are looking for, then pay a big price to have it prepared for use, and put it just where it does not belong. That is why antique articles look shoddy in so many homes. Women who are not good judges will pick up the worst-looking old piece of furniture imaginable, drape it with chintz and call it—beautiful. One way to use antiques properly is to have an "antique room." Of course, a pair of old and irons can be used in any open fireplace and the glass-trimmed candle-sticks are ornamental in the dining room, despite the fact that candles seldom are used for lighting the tables. It is principally of furniture that one must be careful. Do not put an old wain-t settee, chair and marble-topped stand in a room with a mission table and wicker chair, and do not adorn your walls with pink cherubs and expect a mystic glow to make that room look enchanting. It will look more like Vesuvius had an upheaval there. The best taste is exhibited to-day in rooms simply arranged, even though extremely small. Antiques should be separated from the modern furniture like sheep from the goats, or everyone who goes into your house will depart with a feeling that chaos has found habitation beneath your roof. New Embroideries There is a present fad for lace and embroidery in combination. This is little more than a revival of a fashion of two or three seasons ago. The designs, too, are familiar. One sees the same crescent-shape applique, the oval medallions and the long, tablike motifs. Women possessing trimmings of this kind should bring them to light and make use of them. The blind or satin stitch embroideries combined with imitation Irish are perhaps the most popular. Rugs have a tiresome way of curling up at the corners, which spoils their appearance, and in the end the corners get torn away. To provide against this, directly, a rug is bought bind it on the under edge with stout holland or furniture webbing.—Woman's Life A Rug Hint. PREPARED FROM LEFT-OVERS Potato and Meat Dish Can Be Made One of the Most Appetizing on the Menu. Take the left-overs of turkey, chicken, beef or mutton and equal parts of potatoes, season with salt and pepper, butter the bottom of a granite baking pan, put in a layer of potatoes with bits of butter, next a layer of meat and so on until the dish is full. Now pour over it a sauce made as follows: Put a large tablespoonful butter in a saucepan, add a heaping tablespoon of flour, cook until smooth, then add slowly halp-pint milk, cook until thick and add salt and pepper to taste, one tablespoon each of onion juice and chopped parsley. After putting these in let all stand a few minutes that all may become blended, now pour it over the meat and potatoes and sprinkle the top with bread or cracker crumbs, dotted with bits of butter. Cover and bake in a good oven half an hour, uncover and brown. This dish served with baked and stuffed tomatoes will be found delicious and is a fine way to use scraps. The Home. Stuffed potatoes are made by mixing cheese and bread crumbs in with the contents. When boiling fresh potatoes try putting a sprig of mint in the water to give a delicious flavor to the vegetables. Plaster figures in hard or alabaster finish are easily cleaned by dipping a stiff toothbrush in gasoline and scrubbing into all the crevices. If you have a black gown that needs freshening, cleanse it thoroughly with clear black coffee diluted with water and containing a little ammonia. After the weekly washing rub a little vinegar and spirits of camphor over the hands. This will keep the hands in good condition summer and winter. Garments that are to be hung out to air can be put on hangers rather than pinned to the line. This prevents sagging or marking with the clothespins. Never rinse lace in blue water with the idea of improving its color. Real lace should be finally rinsed in clear soft water, or, better still, in skim milk, which will give it a soft, creamy color. Bric-a-brac containing mother-of-pearl should never be cleaned with soap and water. Instead, it should be rubbed with a cloth dipped into whiting and water. Vegetable Curry Put in tablespoonful of butter into a saucepan, and in it place one sliced carrot, then add one sliced turnip, three potatoes sliced, also one chopped onion. Season with salt and add a little water. When the water reaches boiling point add two teaspoonfuls of curry powder and a tablespoonful of flour already moistened with cold water. Stir it till it reaches boiling point, and allow it to simmer gently till the vegetables are perfectly tender. When green peas are in season they may be added, or cooked beans make a nice addition, also cold boiled rice may be added to the curry. Broiled Breast of Lamb. This is a very delicious dish, but the broiling must be done carefully. The fire should not be too bright or the meat will soon scorch. Lay the inside of the meat toward the fire first and broil very moderately, turning the meat often. When done, butter slightly and season with salt and pepper. The breast of lamb is sold in most markets with the fore leg attached; this should be cut off before the piece is broiled, for, being so thick in comparison with the rest of the piece, it is difficult to cook it sufficiently. Fish Cream Soup. Season the water in which fresh fish has been boiled with pepper and salt, and keep until the next day. Heat one quart of the liquor, when wanted, to boiling, mince a cupful of cold fish and add this. Let simmer five minutes and stir in three tablespoonfuls of butter rolled in flour, and one tablespoonful of minced parsley. Add to this one cup of hot milk into which one cup of dried bread crumbs has been stirred. Stir well, let boil up once, and serve with crackers. Sponge Candy. Put together in a saucepan two cups granulated sugar, one cup New Orleans molasses, one-half cup water, one tablespoon vinegar, a very small piece butter. Boll until a little dropped in cold water is brittle, stir in a teaspoon of baking soda and while foaming pour into a deep tin, well greased. Do not pull: It is best if half sirup and molasses are used. Beat hard for a minute or two after the sirup is poured into the tin. Sweet Potato Rolls. Cream a tablespoonful each of butter and sugar. To this add a cupful of scalded milk, a pinch of salt, a cupful of sweet potato and a fourth of a yeast cake. Mix with enough flour for kneading. When smooth let it rise till double its original bulk and bake in muffin tins. Beef Patties. Chop fine some cold beef; beat two eggs and mix with the meat and a id a little milk, melted butter, and salt and pepper. Make into rolls and fry.
