THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY MYRON REED'S SERMON The Book of Genesis Written for all Oppressed People. History of the Beginning. Quotes Jefferson as saying about slavery. "I tremble for my Country when I remember God is Just." VOL. XVII. MYRON The Book of Genesis Written History of the Beginning. about slavery. "I tre when I remember The Book of Genesis—this is a history of the beginning. It is family history. The people of the book live, raise cattle and sheep, wheat and grapes. The life is natural, simple. The book is so true to human nature that I am sure it is a genuine book. Here is a touch that I do not think any one would have been likely to invent. Joseph has assisted his father and brethren to migrate to Egypt and is now about to introduce them to Pharoah. Joseph says: "When Pharoah shall call you and shall inquire what is your occupation? that ye shall say: Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth until now, both we and also our fathers, for every shepherd is an abomination to an Egyptian." The Egyptians were horse raisers. Cattlemen, then as now herdsmen, were opposed to sheep. They are in Wyoming as they were in Egypt. They bite the grass too close and have a twisting movement of the jaw that loosens the roots of grass, wounds grass and kills it. A shepherd is an abomination to a cattleman. What Joseph told his people was a half lie, but as it seemed to him a necessary one. It is a little thing like this that gives the book a genuine sound. It is a frank book. Not many sons in telling family history will tell the faults of the family. We do not when we write the lives of, the men of the revolution or the framers of the constitution. We do not write all their lives. But the Hebrew historian of his own race sets down virtues and heroisms, faults and crimes with an impartial pen. NOT OF THE ABBOTT TYPE. The men who wrote the Bible were not historians of the John S. C. Abbott kind. For instance Abraham was not a strictly truthful man—not deliberately untruthful. When you strike at a man he will throw up his arm. When you strike at him with an unexpected, unpleasant question he will likely throw up a lie. So Abraham lied, and Rebeckah and Rachel and Jacob and the sons of Jacob and David and Peter. One of the penalties of lying is to have children that will lie. There are other things in the lives of these patriarchs not to be commended. The casting off of Hagar and Israel by Abraham, driving them into the wilderness, was unnatural, and also is against the law of the state of Colorado. The deceit practiced by Jacob and his mother (contrived by his mother) upon a blind husband and father is rank. Jacob goes down barehanded to his kinsman Laban and is much too thrifty. He works hard twenty-two years, but he contrives to leave with nearly all his kinsman's effects. He goes away secretly. There is much poetic justice in the life of Jacob. He is rich, but he is afraid of the brother he has swindled. He has not felt well about it for twenty years. The meeting of the brothers is told in a most effective way. Jacob is forgiven by his sportsman brother, but the penalty of his sharp practice is that he does not believe it. He thinks to himself, "when father is dead Esau will kill me." A birthright is a doubtful gift if mixed with it there is an everlasting fear. He was an unwise father. It never will do to dress one son up in a gay striped tunic, and so distinguish him from his brethren; permit him to idle while they work. Joseph is early a spoiled boy. A SPOILED BOY. Joseph spoiled by his father exasperates his brethren by his walk and conversation. So they proceed to shake the young man out. They strip him of his fine coat, cast him into a pit, and finally forbear killing him, because he is their brother, but sell him Into Egypt because of his indolence. His years in prison do him some good. He comes to be prime minister of Pharaoh. In some way not absolutely clear to me he receives private information of seven years of plentiful harvests and seven years of failure of crops and famine. He buys all the wheat of the country, and stores it, and holds it until the famine comes and the people must have bread and he sells wheat for silver until he has all their money. In the second year of the famine he buys with wheat all their horses and cattle. With wheat he buys all the land of the people, and whoever owns the land of the people owns the people, unless they are people with wings. Joseph owned them, body and soul, but he gave them permission to live. He rented them land for one-fifth the crop, which is a better rate than that in Kansas. There were many good points about Joseph. He did not forget the old man, his father, and he forgave his brethren. He moved the whole family into the country and gave them a wide place. Jacob died there, aged 147 years, but looking backward he said: "Few and evil have all the days of the years of my life been." He was rich and successful, but inwardly a failure. HE KNEW NOT JOSEPH. But I am interested in the outcome of this family. I find them living along in Egypt and doing well. They had possessions and multiplied exceedingly. By and by Joseph died, and all that generation, and there arose a new king in Egypt who knew not Joseph. And he saw this strange people rich and powerful. He said: "They are mightier than we are. Come, let us be wise." So they made slaves of them, made them build brick cities, made them work with vigor in hard bondage in mortar and clay. Swindling and lying do not pay. Neither does oppression. The Egyptians overdid it. One can make that kind of brick, then in use, provided he is furnished the straw. But to make the same number and quality of brick and furnish your own straw, for which you must glean the field, that is too much. Into the midst of this misery Moses was born—a God-sent man to lead out a people who had suffered enough for the sins of their fathers. We read that God hardened Pharoah's heart, that he would not let the people go. He allowed him to harden his own heart. Any man who is cruel, extortionate, oppressive, will soon get a hard heart. You remember the plagues that fell on that nation. The song of the locusts cut the air like a saw. Finally, when there was a dead child in every house, Pharaoh let the people go, urged them to go, and when they went, repented and followed after, and when we last see him the old king is falling from his chariot head foremost into the Red sea, and Mariam strikes her timbrel for Israel saved. It is no wonder to me that our own slaves were fond of the story of Genesis and Exodus. It is written for all oppressed people. Oppression ends in a song of the oppressed. We see the fact that the oppressed are inclined to be oppressors as soon as they have a chance. The cruelest overseer in our slave days was often a negro. The history of the world is in a picture of a man standing with his. That is the world that has been, foot on the neck of another man. That is the world that is going out. The coming world is seen in a picture of men hand in hand looking level into one another's eyes. Not up to one another, nor down on one another, but level. Both of them saying: "I will not have anything that you may not have on the same terms." Some time in an odd hour take up the book of Genesis and read it. It is interesting. There is no other life, no beyond-the-grave for nations. This life may not be long enough for a right settlement with the individual, but it is long enough for a settlement with nations. They are settled with here. Jefferson looked at slavery and said: "I tremble for my country when I remember that God is just." Well might he. We held on to slavery like Egypt and suffered like Egypt. Not until there was a dead child from nearly every Northern and Southern home did we let the curse go. One reads the history of men and nations. As it has been, it will be. Sharp practice, extortion, oppression, do not pay.—Rocky Mountain News. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. Mrs. J. H. Bryant is still on the sick list. Mrs. Geo.

Olive Baptist church church served an excellent dinner at the church all day, and realized quite a sum for the church. The A. M. E. Church held services in the morning and in the evening a fine musical program was rendered, which was attended by a crowded house. The New Mexico constitutional convention that has been in session at Santa Fe for over 52 days has abjourned after writing the constitution that will govern the state of New Mexico. The Negroes interest is fairly well protected by the instrument so far as his elective franchise is concerned, we need have no fear of any grandfather clauses, but our school system for the seperation of schools might be tampered with some day by the legislatures, and then the supreme court will interpret the law. The best constitutional lawyers in the state tell us that no seperate schools can ever take place under this law, but time only can tell. The Negroes are to be commended for the interest they taken in their own welfare with the framing of this constitution. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Trenton, N. J.—Alexis Y.

Paris, Nov. 16.—The French government today announced its formal acceptance of the American proposition to refund the debt of the African Republic of Liberia.

MONERY PARLOR Johnston's Candies The Christmas Dinner Table by Julia Bottomley EST and merriest of all dinners, that of Christmas, sweetly compels us to take extra thought and put forth extra effort that it may be set forth in state. At the call of some one, whose heart is "good" toward us, we gather round the bright table. Sweet with fir, beautiful with holly, gleaming with white napery and twinkling glass and all lit with rosy candles, it sets the heart aglow, be speaking a loving kindness, which is the salvation of our workaday world. The dining room is the heart of the house and its great day is Christmas day. It is really very little trouble to decorate it for a Christmas dinner, and dressing the table cannot be spoken of as a trouble—it is a pleasure. The dining room must be entirely clean—the windows newly washed and the walls and furniture wiped off and polished up a bit, before the placing of decorations begins. These should be simple and in green so as not to distract the attention from the table. If a hanging lamp or a chandelier is suspended over the table, nothing is much more effective than the festoons of green from lamp to the corners of the room. Ropes of evergreen are made by cutting off small branches and winding the stems with dark cord or heavy black thread. The lamp, or chandelier supports, may be dressed with sprays of evergreen and holly and the evergreen festoons arranged along the walls, underneath the plate rail, the festoons to be caught up with sprays of holly. Branches of green over the windows and door casings and wreaths pinned at each window, on the curtains, are the time-honored Christmas decorations that cannot be improved upon and are dear because familiar. But in setting forth her table the hostess has a chance to exercise her Christmas Candle Shades and a Mica Shade for Protection. ingenuity and be as original as she may please. The table is to be made amply long so that it will not be crowded, and spread with a protecting pad, and an immaculate cloth, smooth and shining. Silver and glassware are to be scoured and polished and the china treated to the same freshening process, until everything shines. Lay a dinner napkin at each place and proceed to decorate the table. A centerpiece is to be provided. A very handsome one is made of a bolt of No. 80 red satin ribbon. Two lengths of this, each $1 \frac{1}{2}$ yards long, are crossed at the middle of the table, lying flat and the ends extending toward the corners of the table. In the center an ornamental fern dish is fashioned of the ribbon about a plain fern dish. The ribbon is made into standing loops, each about six inches in length. These are placed in a row about the dish with the loops upstanding. The dish used may be an ordinary milk pan previously covered with red paper in crepe or tissue. Fill the pan with moss or sand. In the center stand a miniature Christmas tree, a natural baby tree if possible. Decorate the miniature tree with tiny candles and the smallest of red tinsel balls. The candles are not to be lighted. Place few decorations and have them all in miniature. The effect is charming. Another pretty center piece is made with five ordinary tin candlesticks, supporting five red or white candles. Set one of these on an inverted pasteboard box in the center of the table and the four remaining candles one at each corner of the box, on the table. Use a small box, not larger than the bottom of the candlestick. Cover the candlesticks and the box with sprays of evergreen and holly and sprinkle over these the "diamond dust" which may be bought, or made by cutting a piece of tinsel rope into little particles. Make shades for the candles, using red paper. Buy the fireproofed kind for safety. The shades are very easily made by cutting four petals of paper and mounting them over an isinglass protector on the brass shade holders. Pull out the edges of the paper to get the ruffled effect. Tie the shades about their support with a small cord. Over this place a piece of tinsel, finishing it in a little bow or knot. Each candle will appear to spring from a nest of green. The candles are to be lighted when the dessert is served. A candle shade such as is described is shown in the picture. A third pretty centerpiece is made of a small round hand mirror and silver tinsel in the form of a five-pointed JOHN W.

Cut the star from a piece of white wrapping paper, making it 12 to 18 inches across. Lay the paper star in the center of the table and place the small mirror in the center of the star. Cover the paper star completely with silver tinsel. Place a tall slender vase in clear glass on the mirror and fill it with poinsettia blossoms or red carnations or bright red roses. If natural flowers are not available a tall candle in a glass stick, surrounded by shorter candles in shorter candlesticks, will do nicely. At each place at table, a little basket is to be set containing salted peanuts or almonds, or red cinnamon drops and green mints. These bas- A Bonbon Basket for the Dinner Table.

Or they are pretty made of brown tissue paper twisted into cords and gilded with gold paint. A basket of this kind is shown in the illustration. If the table is long, candles may be placed at intervals around it, but otherwise, the centerpiece, with one cr two candles at opposite ends of the table, will be the better arrangement. Place these candles diagonally opposite. White candles with red shades are as pretty as red ones for the dinner table. Cranberry jelly, which is nearly always a part of the menu, served in glass dishes, or set in a glass bowl, is decorative. Gellatin in two colors (red and green) in tall sherbet glasses is also fine as an aid in carrying out the Christmas color scheme. Triangular slices of bread or rolls of bread tied with red baby ribbon and placed on the bread and butter plates gives an additional little finishing touch. When the silver is laid and the water glasses placed, a small spray of holly for the buttonhole or corsage is to be placed for each person at the table. It rests on the napkins. In order that the candles may last out the dinner it is as well to postpone lighting them until the dessert is served. Other lights may be turned lower at this time. The effect of glowing candles is very inspiring to the guests. Often the Christmas dinner must be served in the early afternoon. If artificial lights are desired the hostess must darken the dining room. But there are pretty decorations from which candle light is omitted. The center piece for such a table may represent any familiar winter or Christmas scene. One may buy, at a trifling cost, a Santa Claus, on a chimney top, about to descend. These are made of painted pasteboard and a doll. At the confectioners' there are all sorts of Christmas pieces in the form of large candy boxes. Santa Claus and his reindeers are fine for the center piece mounted on a small box, concealed by evergreens and holly. A table for daytime light may be arranged with a small mirror in the center about 18 inches square. Surround this by evergreens to represent a skating pond. Dress two or more Decorations for the Christmas Dinner Table. Decorations for the Christmas Dinner Table. tiny dolls to represent skaters. The closer you can come to making it look like a real pond In miniature the more you and your guests will be delighted. At the ten-cent stores one may buy small red houses and even glass icicles. Icicles may be represented by little pieces of tinsel also. After you once get to work the thing will grow under your hands and you will be enthusiastic at the end. When all is finished the Christmas table justifies the thought and work put on it—the play is indeed worth the candle. If one must count expenses carefully the decorations will be found to be more a matter of ingenuity than money. Evergreens and red paper, wax candles and cheap candlesticks are within reach of nearly all of us. Of all days Christmas is, for that very reason, the one for which we should make our very best endeavor. "Mother, if Santa Claus comes down the chimney, he'll have to walk through the kitchen, won't he?" "I suppose he will, dear." "Well, don't you think we'd maybe perhaps better lock up the preserves?"

A democratic city council of Baltimore seems determined to segregate the colored people of that city from residential privileges and their confinement to the city.

The dictates of reason all such ordinances must fail to be as supremely needed to be. THE Democratic city council of Baltimore seems determined to pass an ordinance designed to segregate the colored people of that city by the limitation of their residential privileges and their confinement to certain established sections. The proposed ordinance forbids white persons moving into an obviously Negro residential block and lays the same restraint upon Negroes who would locate in white residential sections. This unusual action has resulted from the repeated invasion of so-called aristocratic avenues or sections by ambitious colored residents, when it was the intention or desire of the white people to establish and maintain an air of exclusiveness in those particular avenues or districts. Their inability to realize and perpetuate their exclusive assumptions by the mere show of wealth has become so trying to them that they have appealed to the legal authority of the municipality to insure their peaceful enjoyment of their aristocratic standards. The necessity reflects a peculiar aggressiveness on the part of the colored Baltimorean and a corresponding weakness on the part of the whites which does not seem to have afflicted other large cities to a similar tense degree, and the proposed action of the city council therefore attracts peculiar attention. It is needless, just now, to discuss the questions of discretion and propriety on the part of colored residents who seek to share the aristocratic exclusiveness of affluent white neighborhoods, for the more pressing feature of the issue hinges upon the legality of the measure designed to protect the pride of the white people and relieve their mental distress. It is rather difficult to see how classes of the population may thus legally jim crow, an entire city, although a similar principle is carried out by railroads and other public service corporations. The choosing of a residence, however, has always been a contract of private right between lessor and lessee or grantor and grantee, and the land and the domicile thereon can hardly be permanently cornered. Other cities have met the dilemma in more natural ways. Old aristocratic sections have been voluntarily abandoned or building covenants have been injected into deeds for land in certain sections or a massing of wealth has made the aristocrats of one class serenely oblivious of the proximity of the aristocrats of other classes, but nowhere else have the persecuted ones sought the aid and protection of ordinances. The dictates of reason declare that in the long run all such ordinances must fail to be as supremely effective as they are designed to be. RELIABILITY OF THE COLORED SOLDIER. tant general of the army has issued his annual re- cruit to make comparison of the records of deser- tors.

He finds that the percentage of desertions of white soldiers during the year was about two and one-half times as great as the percentage of desertions of colored soldiers. In explanation of what appears to be evidence of the greater loyalty of the colored soldier, the general reason is offered that "to the colored man the service offers a career; to the white man, too often, only a refuge." Without evident intention, this explanation seems to carry a tinge of injustice. While the colored recruit, as a rule, does not turn to the army service as a "refuge," either from lack of industrial opportunity or from evil ways and demoralizing companionships, it is equally certain that no rosy dreams of a "career" of satisfying brilliance determine his enlistment. The white soldier's opportunities in the latter direction, particularly for service in the field, are actually better than those of the colored soldier, whose reward for conspicuous bravery seldom reaches higher than the honor of a non-commissioned officer of petty rank. The few colored men who have graduated from West Point and who have thereby won the legitimate rank of lieutenant, have been invariably shifted from the regular service to special branches of military work, where promotions and "careers," in the true military sense, have not followed with sufficient swiftness to make them an example for the emulation of the ambitious of their race. To rise from the ranks to the office of a corporal measures the average height of the "career" to which the enlisted man of color may aspire. The colored soldier endures all the hardship, in barracks or field, that the white soldier endures, and, in his own country, at least, is subject to certain social limitations to which white soldiers are total strangers. As an all-round proposition, therefore, the service is not so much of a trial to the white soldier as it is to the colored soldier. But the truth of the matter is that the colored man likes the elementary pomp, the discipline and the careless freedom of the army life, and sticks to it, enlisting again and again, until primary loyalty becomes an indelible habit and his calling a settled fixture, up to the period of retirement. If this is a career, it is a very simple one, which, in the record of the army, is made illustrious by the evidence of a most commendable loyalty to the country's cause more than by anything else. Not only do few colored soldiers desert, but a larger percentage of them reenlist than is the case with white soldiers. And when they finally retire, even without the honors of commissioned office, as a rule they have money and a practical self-education which insures them success in private life. The greater value of the military experience and training which these men acquire will doubtless show its effects upon their posteriity as the years roll on and the limitations of the army decrease. For the colored man is a natural-born soldier. By REV. MADISON C. PETERS O SAYING, "Like mother like son, Henry IV. of Germany become aided with a wise mother, Louis IX. man of God.

Any encyclopedia of America prove that our most illustrious star, enquired scientists, our most elegant merchant princes, and our great by the humble families where mother of fashion, but where the nursery, nursery for the church, where the good are the accents of prayer and the heart are the thoughts of God. HE OLD SAYING, "Like mother like son," is historically correct. Henry IV. of Germany becomes a miserable prince, but blessed with a wise mother, Louis IX. of France grows up to be a man of God. A distinguished writer has called attention to the fact that of the sixty-nine monarchs who have worn the French crown only three have loved the people, and all these three were reared by their mothers. St. Louis was trained by Blanche; Louis XII. by Marie of Cleves, and Henry IV. by Jeanne d'Albret; and these three were really the fathers of their people. their people.

John Quincy Adams, the his mother taught him, "No mother first fostered those distinguished. If the world was lost future of society is in the ha holds the key of the soul; acter. Our Sir Walter Scott's mother was a superior woman, a lover of poetry and painting. Byron's worst enemy was his mother—she was proud and ill-tempered. The mother of Napoleon was of superior mind and deep piety. The mother of Nero was a murderess. The mother of Patrick Henry was marked by superior conversational powers. The mother of the Wealeys was distinguished for her intellectual powers and executive ability, so that she has been called "the mother of Methodism." Mothers have trained our presidents and statesmen. Washington's father died when George was only twelve years old. Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and Harrison the elder, were left fatherless when small boys, Tyler, Hayes and Cleveland depended upon their widowed mothers for their training. Abraham Lincoln confessed that among his most pleasant reminiscences were those of his excellent mother, to whom he imputed the best and brightest qualities he had inherited. Lincoln also owned that it was his step-mother, more than any other person, that made him the man he was. General Grant's mother went into a room at a certain hour each day during the war to pray for her Ulysses. President McKinley left the capital and the affairs of state to watch at the side of his dying mother, to receive her last blessing and to give her his last kiss. Garfield's father died when the future president was a babe. On the day of his inauguration he turned away from all the representatives of kings and queens, and from all the great men and beautiful women who had gathered to do him honor, and the first thing he did after he had taken the oath of office, was to kiss the wrinkled face of his mother and say: "Mother, you have brought me to this." John Quincy Adams, till the day of his death, said the little prayer his mother taught him, "Now I lay me down to sleep." Daniel Webster's mother first fostered those abilities which ultimately made him so long distinguished. If the world was lost through woman, she alone can save it. The future of society is in the hands of the mothers. The mother in her office holds the key of the soul; and she it is who stamps the coin of character. Our homes have made America peerless among the nations. Any encyclopedia of American biography will prove that our most illustrious statesmen, our most distinguished scientists, our most eloquent preachers, our merchant princes, and our great benefactors came from the humble families where mothers rule, not as queens of fashion, but where the nursery for the family is a nursery for the church, where the first lispings of childhood are the accents of prayer and the first thoughts of the heart are the thoughts of God.

The membership of the church rallied very nobly to the $1,000.00 rally on last Sunday. It was not a general rally for the effort was to be confined to the membership of the church. No clubs were organized, nor any assessments levied. Each was asked to respond with a free will offering; $720 in cash were laid on the table, which was largely the result of a competition between the sons and daughters of Allen. The daughters were easily the winners of the laurels. Great credit must be given to Sister Lillie Lewis and Bro. J. C. Porter for the splendid way in which they managed the Thanksgiving dinner. The rally has been extended to Sunday, December 18th, at which time they hope to complete the $1,000. Sunday Services. Rev. A. E. Newell, of the West Tenn. Annual Conf., A. M. E.

While in Canon City a few days ago we were pleased to note the prosperity of the colored people of that thriving little city, where we were greeted by our numerous friends who vied with each other in making our brief stay a very pleasant one. We deem it not out of place to state that a more hospitable people than those of Canon City cannot be found any where. On every occasion of our visit there we are always loath to leave. While there we dropped in to see our old friend J. W. Caldwell, who by the way, conducts the finest shoe shining parlors in the city. That he is making good is evidenced by the way his corps of employees are kept busy. The thriving citizens of Canon City have the heartiest congratulations of the Colorado Statesman for continued success.

THE PEOLPE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Sermon Topics Sunday, Dec. 4th. 11 a. m.—"The Negroes' Moral Obligation to the Principles of Calvinism in America." 7:30 p. m.—Program by the Y. P. S. C. E. Sunday morning's discourse being the last in the series on Presbyterianism, and inasmuch as its reference is directly to the race, we shall be pleased to welcome a large audience for this occasion. Many people are practically ignorant as to the part that this church has played in bringing about emancipation and conserving the best feeling between the races since freedom. The Hazell Chapter of the Westminster Guild is having its sessions at the various homes of the members. Both Mrs. Ethel Allen and Mrs. Lizzie Froman entertained them recently. The Chapter will meet with Mrs. Lillian Reeves, 1609 Clarkson, next Tues night at 7 o'clock. All members are urged to be present, as a special program will take place. The working policy of the Guild is the consideration of home and foreign missions, a Bible course, a literary feature, as well as the social aspect. Investment in stocks and shares in the Home Missionary Company is a lively matter now before the Guild. Membership is opened to all ladies possessed with missionary zeal. ZION JUBILEE Last Sunday the congregation and friends of Zion Baptist Church witnessed the burring of the mortgage. It can be recalled that in 1906 the church bought the six lots on the corner of 20th and Arapahoe streets for $11,000.00, giving a mortgage for $7,000 to run for five years with interest, of which sum about $2,500 had been paid before the present pastor took charge. Last year the church called the Rev. David E. Over to the pastorate of the church. He went to work with a vim and in less than two years over $5,000 has been raised and the property is now clear of debt. At the 3 o'clock service the pastors and congregation of the various churches attended and rejoiced with Zion and her pastor in her final and successful rally. The burning of the mortgage in such a short period reflects great credit on the pastor, Rev. D. E. Over, his officers and members for the business manner in which they appealed to their friends and the public, the congregation and the community should be proud to learn that at a conservative estimate made by real estate men, Zion's lots are valued at $40,000. It is useless to say that singing of the real Christmas song. How did my heart rejoice to hear my friend devoutly say, come, let us to Zion go., etc. The pastor has kept his faith with the congregation thus far. Now, dear people, let him finish his course.

Smith, accused of murdering his wife, Lue Belle Smith Aug. 25th, is now a free man, enjoying his freedom like any other man to-day. His liberty having been brought about through his attorneys, W. B. Townsend and Horace G. Benson. On the night of the 25th of August after George Smith, then a pullman porter, returned home at 208 York street, happened a tragedy which the public has been discussing ever since as to the guilt or innocence of her husband who happened to be in the house when the shot was fired. Smith maintained his innocence to the last and won from the judge commendatory remarks when he was set free. Futile attempts were made by the prosecution to connect him with other women and to show quarrels, but to no avail. W. B. Townsend, defendant's attorney, secured the services of the gunsmith and through his vigilant eye the powder burnt blanket and comfort were discovered on the bed several days after the tragedy. Mr. Townsend has the credit of winning two murder cases within six months, that of Mrs. Emma Jett and of George Smith. After fighting the defense for eight days and failing to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the "Corpus delicii" and knowing what was coming, the district attorney threw up his hands. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Townsend for his valiant, successful fight and Denver feels proud of him and the confidence which his people have in him.

TAMKIN Denver, Colo. COLO W Denver, Colo PHONE MAIN 4843 DENVER COLO. INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION CONCLUDES R. R. HEARING ARE MANY WITNESSES THE PENDING SUSPENSION OF THE ADVANCE IS UNTIL FEBRUARY Washington.—Testimony in the eastern trunk line freight advance case has been virtually concluded by the Interstate Commerce Commission after many witnesses for the shippers had agreed that the proposed increases would localize competition, hurt the western market for eastern goods and otherwise seriously interfere with their business. The pending suspension of the proposed advances is until February, and, meantime, January 9th, the arguments of counsel will be made. The commission may be prepared to render its decision by the expiration of the present extension. There was a steady run of witnesses in support of the shippers' protests. They included heads of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company, the Railway Business Association, the American Locomotive Company and of shoe and leather, drug, cotton goods and other enterprises. Clifford Thorne of Washington, Ia., state railway commissioner-elect, counsel for the Corn Belt Meat Producers' Association and the Farmers' Grain Dealers' Association, contends that in four states alone the railroads had been overcapitalized by $400,000,000. This was based on a statistical summary of the actual physical valuation of 135 properties, having a combined capitalization of more than $1,000,000,000. Mr. Thorne contended that railway net earnings have been increasing faster than their expenses and that the credit of the roads was good. He urged that the only proof offered by the railroads to support their argument of credit impairment was that they could not market 4 per cent bonds at par, an ability which he regarded as by no means indicative of bad credit. He said railroad securities are more desirable today than five, ten, fifteen or twenty years ago, and command higher market prices than those of other public utility or industrial companies. Miners' Life-Saving Service. Washington.—A life-saving service for the rescue of miners in time of disaster has just been inaugurated by the United States Bureau of Mines. Six specially constructed cars, fully manned by a corps of miners trained in rescue work and equipped with the latest apparatus and first-aid appliances have been located in the midst of the great coal districts in different parts of the country. These cars will be ready at a moment's notice to proceed to the scene of a disaster, where the rescue corps, in cooperation with the state mining officials, will do everything possible to save entombed miners. This is the first important step taken by the new Bureau of Mines in its efforts to reduce the appalling loss of life in American coal mines. During the year 1909 there were 2,412 miners killed in the coal mines and 7,979 injured. In the coal and the metal mines it is estimated that 3,000 men were killed and 10,000 were injured in 1909. For every 1,000 men employed from three to five are killed each year in the mines of the United States. In foreign countries from one to two are killed in each 1,000 employed. In those European countries where the deaths are least per 1,000 men employed, rescue apparatus has been in use for some time, and it is with the hope that European conditions can be approached that the rescue apparatus is being introduced here. Hunters Killed in Deer Season Calumet, Mich.—During the deen hunting season, November 10th to December 1st, there were forty-six accidents in the upper peninsula of Michigan, twenty fatal. Cheyenne, Wyo.—Relief for the people of Cheyenne from a drinking water famine will be provided through connection with the Granite Springs reservoir pipe. Large Criminal Insane Ratio. Oympla, Wash.—One person in each 238 in the state of Washington is insane, criminal or feeble-minded and a charge upon the state. Would Establish New County. Thermopolis, Wyo.—That the next Legislature, which will meet in January, will be importuned to pass an enabling act for a new county, to be formed from the southern portion of Big Horn and the northern portion of Fremont, has been made certain. Minnesota's Population. Washington.—The population of the state of Minnesota is 2,075,078, according to the thirteenth census. This is an increase of 324,314. THE HIGH COST OF LIVING REDUCED Much has been said about the high cost of living, its causes, and the possibilities of its reduction. But little has been said about the most costly of the factors affecting today in nearly every household. Much foodstuffs are bought with but one point in view: "How cheap are foodstuffs if they are of quality or after cost." One of the most serious is baking powder. By the use of perfect baking powder the foodstuff can be used as much economy as from any other article used in baking and cooking. In selecting the baking powder, therefore, care must be taken to ensure that it retains its original strength and always remains the same, thus making the food sweet and wholesome and producing delicious leavening gas to make the baking light. Very little of this leavening gas is produced by the cheap baking powders, making it necessary to use double the quantity ordinarily required to secure good results. You cannot experiment every time you make a cake or biscuits, or test the strength of your baking powder to find out how much of it you should use; yet with most baking powders you should do this for they are put together so carelessly they are never uniform, and strength varying with each can purchased. Calumet Baking Powder is made of chemically pure ingredients of tested strength. Experienced chemists prepare the preparation for the different materials remain always the same. Sealed in air-tight cans, Calumet Baking Powder does not alter in strength and is safe for use. In using Calumet you are bound to have uniform bread, cake or biscuits, as Calumet does not contain any cheap, aseless or acetatizing ingredients, to please the weight. Further, it produces pure, wholesome food, and is a baking powder of rare merit; therefore, it is recommended by companies with all pure food laws, both STATE and NATIONAL. The goods are moderate in price, and any lady purchasing Calumet from her grocer, if not satirically, can return it and have her money refunded. Hardly a Compliment In the excitement of the moment public speakers often say the opposite of what they mean to convey, and "when Henry Irving gave a reading in the Ulster hall, in 1878," says Bram Stoker, in "Personal Reminiscences of Henry Irving," "one speaker made as pretty an Irish bull as could be found, though the bull is generally supposed to belong to other provinces than the hard-headed Ulster. In deschanting on the many virtues of the guest of the evening he mentioned the excellence of his moral nature and rectitude of his private life in these terms: "Mr. Irving, sir, is a gentleman what leads a life of unbroken blemish."

Doctor—Well, don't you call that a remarkable appetite? END STOMACH TROUBLE NOW Dyspepsia, Gas, Sourness or Indigestion Go Five Minutes After Taking a Little Diapepsin. If your meals don't fit comfortably, or you feel bloated after eating, and you believe it is the food which fills you; if what little you eat lies like lead on your stomach; if there is difficulty in breathing, eructations of sour, undigested food and acid, heartburn, brass or a belching of gas, you can make up your mind that you need something to stop food fermentation and cure Indigestion. A large case of Pape's Diapepsin costs only fifty cents at any drug store here in town, and will convince any stomach sufferer five minutes after taking a single dose that Fermentation and Sour Stomach is causing the misery of Indigestion. No matter if you call your trouble Catarrh of the Stomach, Dyspepsia, Nervousness or Gastritis, or by any other name—always remember that a certain cure is waiting at your drug store the moment you decide to begin its use. Pape's Diapepsin will regulate any out-of-order Stomach within five minutes, and digest promptly, without any fuss or discomfort, all of any kind of food you eat. These large 50-cent cases contain more than sufficient to thoroughly cure any chronic case of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Gastritis or any other Stomach trouble. Should you at this moment be suffering from Indigestion, Gas, Sourness or any stomach disorder, you can surely get relief within five minutes. Doctors More Thorough. A physician at a dinner in Denver sneered at certain Biblical miracles. "Lazarus," he said, "was raised from the dead—and yet I don't see any dead folks being raised in our time." "No," said Rev Herbert H. Tresham, the Biblical scholar, with a smile. "Modern medical science has progressed too far for that, eh?"—Washington Star. A quarrel merely proves that one of the parties to it hasn't any more sense than the other. The Sarcastic Victim. The Barber—Your hair is coming out on top, sir. The Crank—Good! I knew it was in me.

Mr. Henpeck—I trust, my dear, that I may fall down the cellar stairs if I wish to. Disturbing the Foundations. Bacon—I see an automobile fog signal for railroads, the invention of a retired Dutch naval officer, explodes a cartridge behind a megaphone automatically whenever a train enters a block in which there is another train. Egbert—Mercy. I should think that was enough to disturb the sleepers. Yonkers Statesman. As He Lingered. "Dearest," said Reginald, as they stood in the darkened hallway, "It's so hard to say good-by!" "Then don't try to say it," murmured Beryl. "Say 'good-night' instead; you don't have to use your lips for that, you know."—Chicago Tribune. Didn't Propose to Hurry. His Wife—I just can't bear to see you smoking, John. The doctor says it is slow poison. Her Husband—Well, I'm not going to take quick poison just to please you and the doctor.—Chicago News. Who is paying the cost of this very expensive campaign against the initiative and referendum? And why?—Denver News. She Convinced Her Husband. A woman, carrying a heavy suitcase and a big fat baby, stopped at a news counter to-day for something to read while getting her baby to sleep. She picked up a woman's magazine and opened it at an article headed: "It is Vital That Every Woman Should Retain a Perfect Figure." It was a well-written article, much of this stuff is, and she was so influenced by its logic that she dumped the baby on the bench, dropped the suitcase beside it, and walked off with head high. shoulders erect and abdomen drawn in. Some minutes later a meek-looking man hurried in, plucked up the baby and suitcase and walked out again. Undoubtedly, somewhere outside he had met his wife and she had convinced him.—Atchison Globe. How He Did It. A lawyer once asked a man who had at various times sat on several juries: "Who influenced you most—the lawyer, the witnesses or the judge?" He expected to get some useful and interesting information from so experienced a juryman. This was the man's reply: "I'll tell yer, sir, 'ow I makes up my mind. I am a plain man, and a reasonin' man, and I ain't influenced by anything the lawyers say; no, nor by what the judge says. I just looks at the man in the docks and I says: 'If he ain't done nothin', why's he there? And I brings 'em all in guilty."—Short Stories. Drunken Wasps. Bacon—They say wasps become intoxicated by eating decaying fruits, the sugar of which passes into a kind of alcohol. While in this drunken condition the wasps do their worst stinging.

The rector, who has a strong leaning towards forms of all kinds, is fastening a festoon of evergreen about the baptismal font, when, enter Miss Dymple, who unceremoniously flings her hat upon the seat of a pew and comes to his assistance. The rector suddenly observes that she is hatless and remarks severely: "Miss Dymple, it is particularly forbidden that women shall come into the church with uncovered heads." "Oh, bother, I forgot!" responded the young lady irreverently "Well," grabbing up the rector's derby and setting it jauntily on her pert little head. "will this do?"

Greeley.—The Northern Colorado Power Company, which furnishes electricity for many towns in northern Colorado, to provide continuous power for its patrons is constructing a double loop, whose ends are at Layafette. Work is Suspended. Monte Vista.—Work on the Terrace reservoir has been suspended until spring. The necessary legal steps are now being taken to form an irrigation district to be watered by this reservoir which is expected to be finished in the spring in time to supply water for crops next season. Coloradans Get Fortune. Los Angeles.—Several Colorado people will share in the estate of John Howell, the noted mining expert, whose death occurred in Denver, November 12th, and whose will was filed for probate here. It disposes of an estate valued at $500,000, of which $258,000 is personal property. Howell was 75 years old. Sentenced at Seventy-Five. Greeley.—Andrew Hunter, who shot and seriously wounded his wife, Mrs. Emma Hunter, at Rinn, July 21st, was found guilty of assault with intent to fill by a jury in the District Court. He was given from six to seven years in the penitentiary. Hunter gave his age as 75 years, and his attorney attempted to prove that he was insane. Kind to Mother: Is Freed. Pueblo. — Because the evidence showed he had always been good to his mother, and that last Christmas he sent her $300 from meager wages, Frank Miller, who is charged with stealing blankets from a bunk car at Pinon, was given one day in the county jail and the sentence suspended by Judge M. E. Corson. "I am not so sure he stole the blankets," said the court, "but a man who has been as good to his mother as Miller, cannot be bad at heart." Colorado Vital Statistics. Denver.—The report of the State Board of Health for the quarter ending September 30 shows that 2,778 people died in the state during that period. The greatest mortality was among men, the death of males being 680 in excess of females. The report shows that the greatest mortality was between 20 to 39 years of age with a total of 741. Infants under 1 year and persons between 40 and 59 years tied for second place with 534 deaths in each class. There were 209 deaths among children between 1 and 5 years. The least mortality of all was between 6 and 9 years. One hundred of those who died were more than 80 years old. Chamber of Commerce Building. Denver.—During the week of January 17 Denver will be the center of the country, at least as far as commercial organizations are concerned. During that week the new Chamber of Commerce building will be dedicated and representatives from almost every city of prominence in the United States will be here to take part in the ceremonies. Already Chicago, Boston, St. Louis and Kansas City organizations have accepted invitations to visit here then, and delegates are expected from Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and many other points. The governors of all the neighboring states also will be invited. Colorado's Gold. Colorado Springs—Colorado must look to its gold more than to any other resource for its future development, in the opinion of Irving Howbert, ploner banker of Colorado Springs, railroad builder and mine developer. Howbert, who has just returned from New York, where he came in contact with the financial powers of the county, is more impressed than ever, perhaps, with the mineral wealth of the state and its relation to commercial progress and the affairs of the country. "One of the biggest bankers in New York spoke of this very feature," said Howbert. "He expressed surprise that so little mention is made by the financial press of the output of Cripple Creek amounting to more than $1,000,000 a month, and which he said cut a much greater figure in the financial affairs of the country, measured in proportion to the $100,000,00 output annually in gold, than even financial men appreciated. "The people of the United States," continued Howbert, "do not appreciate as they should the remarkable and enduring value of the $100,000,000 in gold annually produced in this country. Whenever a shipment of a few million is made from abroad the matter is commented upon by all the financial papers of the country, and, strange as it may seem, Cripple Creek, with its substantial production, is rarely mentioned. Grand Jury After Election Frauds. Grand Jury After Election Fraud Denver.—Evidence is being accumulated by officials of the Citizens' Platform Democratic and Progressive Republican parties which probably will be presented to the grand jury with the object of indicting judges and criers who acted in the recent election. While none of the independent candidates is planning to contest the chairmen of the three organizations have been receiving many complaints of frauds in the election and feel that at least a grand jury investigation should be made.

McLean stepped in front of a lurching Irishman, one evening, and obstructed the sidewalk so that the Irishman was obliged to stop and look at him. McLean said: "Here's that half dollar I borrowed of you. Now you must quit telling the neighbors that I never pay my debts." Half drunk, and wholly dazed, the Irishman took the silver piece, looked at it intently, and then said: "Be dad, yez can't get off that also. It wor a whole dollar that yez boryd; so fork over." And he forked over another half dollar, and went his way, laughing heartily at the quick wit of the Irishman—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED "Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out on the head and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then she began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She is now sixteen years of age and a picture of health. We used the Cuticura Remedies about five weeks, regularly, and then we could not tell she had been affected by the disease. We used no other treatment after we found out what the Cuticura Remedies would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, Mt. Vernon, Ky., Oct. 12, 1909." Couldn't Be Thankful. Bishop Charles W. Smith at a harvest dinner in Portland said of the harvest spirit: "The harvest spirit is one of thankfulness, but there are some crabbed old farmers who couldn't be thankful if they tried. "I said to such an old fellow as he conducted me over his farm on a golden autumn afternoon and showed me a record harvest: "Well, sir, this year, at least, you've got nothing, nothing whatever to complain of." "I don't know about that, bishop,' he answered, with a shake of the head. 'I'm afraid there'll be no spoilt hay for the young calves.'" NEWSPAPERS TAKING IT UP Metropolitan Dailies Giving Advice How to Check Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble. This is a simple home recipe now being made known in all the larger cities through the newspapers. It is intended to check the many cases of Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble which have made so many cripples, invalids and weaklings of some of our brightest and strongest people. The druggists everywhere, even in the smallest communities, have been notified to supply themselves with the ingredients, and the sufferer will have no trouble to obtain them. The prescription is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce, and Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Recent experiments in hospital cases prove this simple mixture effective in Rheumatism. Because of its positive action upon the eliminative tissues of the kidneys, it compels these most vital organs to filter from the blood and system the waste impurities and uric acid which are the cause of rheumatism. It cleanses the kidneys, strengthens them and removes quickly such symptoms as backache, blood disorders, bladder weakness, frequent urination, painful scalding and discolored urine. It acts as a gentle, thorough regulator to the entire kidney structure. Those who suffer and are accustomed to purchase a bottle of medicine should not let a little inconvenience interfere with making this up or have your drugist do it for you LITTLE COLORADO ITEMS. Small Happenings Occurring Over the State Worth Tailing. Colorado's population now numbers about 900,000. Cripple Creek is suffering with an epedemic of typhoid fever. Major Miles Jain, a pioneer of Boulder county is dead. The tax levy for Pueblo for next year will be twenty mills. Greeley is to have the first osteopathic sanitarium in Colorado. Fire from an unknown origin consumed the Bracewell school house. The cost of the Republican campaign in El Paso county was $2,598.49. The $70,000 Electric building has been formally opened in Grand Junction. Rio Grande No. 4 struck an unknown Austrian near Palisade and instantly killed him. George H. Lillie, expert equestrian and Denver's first ridingmaster, died in that city recently. With $15,000 worth of stock subscribed, the green alfalfa meal mill for Gilcrest seems assured. Eastern Weld county promises to be the scene of extensive irrigation activity the coming spring. Charles F. Perkins was instantly killed in an accident which occurred at the Perkins saw mill at Meeker. John Montgomery, a farmer near Gilcrest has raised 225 tons of beets on ten acres which brought him $1, 237.50. One of the new weed pests that is coming onto the plains of eastern Colorado is the Jim Hill mustard from the northwest. Because he declined to give up cigarettes, an employee of the Santa Fe, running between Denver and La Junta has been discharged. Sixty days in jail was the punishment of Martin M. Brown and wife, of Manzanola, for abandoning their baby in Pueblo, recently. The Rev. W. F. Highby has resigned as pastor of the St. Thomas chapel, Palisade, and accepted a call to St. Mark's parish in Durango. That cattle on the Weld county ranges are now absolutely free of scabies is the statement of Government Cattle Inspector Merrill. An investigation of the coal mines of southern Colorado has been determined upon by the commission appointed by Governor Shafroth. The city of Longmont will soon have natural gas from an almost inexhaustible supply opened by the Boulder & Greeley Oil Company. It is now an accepted fact that Meeker and the White River valley will be connected by rail with the outside world during the coming year. Some boys near Wellington found ten rattlesnake eggs in a hollow post recently. The unhatched snakes measured nine feet laid end to end. More than 100 students at Colorado college, Colorado Springs, have been added by the college Y. M. C. A., since the beginning of the college year. Chas. F. Sutton of Lawrence, Kan., has purchased the property of the Kansas-Colorado railroad in Pueblo at public sale. Sutton's bid was $15,000. The federal grand jury, after a session lasting several weeks in Denver returned thirty-one indictments, mostly against violators of the postal laws. The board of county commissioners fixed the tax levy for the year 1910 on Fremont county property of 44½ mills. The assessed valuation is in excess of $6,800,000. The Mesa county irrigation district has ordered an immense new centrifugal pump, to be used in supplying water to the 8,000 acres in that district. The committee recently appointed at a public mass meeting in Colorado Springs to recommend needed public improvements has decided upon a central park. El Paso county tax levy for 1911 has been fixed at 9.6 mills, an increase of 2.1 mills over last year. The assessed valuation of property this year is $21,928,130 as against $22,000,000 last year. George B. Lang, president of the Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union of Colorado, addressed seventy-five farmers of Fort Collins and vicinity on the work of the association in other states. Plans for the new federal building at Fort Collins have been received by Postmaster Moore. They call for a two-story building, 69x95 feet, to provide quarters also for the Forestry Department and Civil Service examinations. United States District Attorney Thomas Ward, Jr., of Denver does not believe in arresting men at night. During the three years in which he has been in office not a person has been arrested through his direction after 5 p. m. Much interest seems to be taken over the state in the forthcoming apple congress that has been called for Denver Dec. 15-17, 1910, by Gov. John F. Shafroth. One hundred thousand dollars in round yellow gold pieces represent the great bulk of the fortune which was taken out of Larimer county into the domains of the Russian czar by 100 of his faithful subjects, who were lured from the beet fields to their native homes by the promise of small tracts of land free.

SHOWING THE WINTER STYLES Exhibits of London Dressmakers Give Fair Idea of What Is Going to Be Popular. All the smart dressmakers in London have been exhibiting their new models. The coat and skirt costumes were chiefly of "ratine," the latest novelty in materials, which when at its best resembles chamois leather in appearance, but is as soft and warm as a good Harris tweed. Coats, of course, were short and rather like the reefer of several years ago, while skirts, if not actually hobbled, were tight to the hobbling point and much trimmed. House and evening gowns were almost all fashioned with tunic effect. Sometimes the tunic was very long. Sometimes it reached but a little below the hips. Black was much used to soften vivid color effects. Thus, a frock of purple and green had a long tunic of black net bordered with Persian trimming, while black and blue and black and magenta were blended on various evening gowns. Oriental embroideries, dull silver and gold tissues and gem-studded braids were also in evidence. Garlands of flowers were used in trimming some of the dresses, and one dalny pink and cream gown was shackled with ropes of dalny little roses velled with chiffon. FANCIES OF FASHION. There is a preference for white laces this season. Light, filmy laces are trimmed with fur for winter gowns. The popularity for the one piece gown does not abate. More ostrich feathers are being sold than ever before. Black velvet is paramount as trimming, while satin runs a close second. Large colored wood buttons are seen on some of the new tailored suits. There seems to be no cessation in the demand for allovers and baby Irish. The style of the one piece afternoon gown depends upon the little French touches more than upon any special scheme of line. Hints for the Table. For a very delicious dish of deviled clams prepare a cupful of chopped clams and season them with cayenne, salt and the juice of a lemon. Mix them to a soft batter-like consistency with the yolks of two eggs and some powdered crackers. Put the mixture into little ramekins, broad scalloped snails or into tiny cups, spread the surface with soft butter and bake until well browned. For a change the mixture may be spread over crisp crackers and then browned in the oven. Two Sewing Hints. When silk pulls out of shape under a pattern, baste the edges of the silk evenly to a newspaper. Cut through silk and paper. To press tucks in crepe de chine put a sheet of white tissue paper over the right side. In this way the tucks may be seen and kept straight. The other is in white satin charmeuse; the slightly trained skirt is trimmed with wide tarnished gold and pale blue embroidery, which draws the satin slightly in and gives the effect of a tunic, edged with hand-some cord that is carried up to the waist each side front. The over-bodice is of entirely the same embroidery, with underslip of white crepe-de-Chine, the whole edged with cord; waist-band of soft blue satin. Materials required: Five yards double width satin, $1 \frac{1}{2}$ yard embroidery for skirt, $1 \frac{1}{2}$ yard embroidery for bodice, $1 \frac{1}{2}$ yard crepe-de-Chine 40 inches wide. Beauty Doctors Are Recommending It —Said to Have Splendid Effect on the Skin. If the skin happens to be dry and harsh, have you tried the soothing and smoothing effect of the so-called Greek bath? This was a favorite remedy of the ancients and has been revived by modern beauty doctors. Mix seven tablespoonfuls of pure olive oil and one of lavender water and rub it well into the entire body. Apply a little at a time and rub in well with the palms of the hand, using a circular motion. To get the best effects from this bath the body should be kept very warm during the rubbing. If hot cloths are applied first to open the pores more of the oil will be absorbed. Take the baths three nights in succession, then stop for a week and take the series again as necessary. The skin quickly improves. — Foot Comfort. A shoeemaker who has had wide experience with making women's shoes gives as the secret of foot comfort the simple rule: "Never wear a shoe that will not permit the great toe to lie in a straight line." This may mean the elimination of some of the most fashionable cuts and the annoyance to vanity of asking for big sizes, but it will save bills to the chiropodist and improve dispositions. Tea Gowns. A lovely little tea gown which contains an idea for the woman with a similar garment to make over h. of pale turquoise satin, draped in empire style and veiled with gray crepe de chine, hemmed with a finger's width of gray squirrel fur. The velling is held in place over the underbody by a fleur-de-lis of seed pearls at the waist. Find something more desirable than an honest man—and you will earn for yourself the title of chief discoverer among the gods.—National Food Magazine.
