We congratulate ourselves on this fact that like the Young Men's Republican Club (white) our services were volunteered, and as staunch and true Republicans when it was declared that the party had no money to run its campaign we carried on our work aiming at the accomplishment of the best for the entire ticket which resulted in such a large success proving the valuable asset the Colorado Statesman is to the Republican party and the worth and desirability of having such a news journal in this community. Special references have been made in the number of communications sent us congratulatory of our stability to the party of our action in not demanding any momentary compensation for the support given, and in making this clear we say that it does not mean we would not accept, if offered, but as the party claimed it was financially embarrassed we resolved to adopt the old Biblical expression—"It is more blessed to give than to receive." Seeing therefore how we have helped to carry this campaign to success, fighting with all that energy and ability could afford, spending sleepless nights in making discoveries of the strength of our opponents, also what strategy they were likely to engage to defeat us, we are proud not only of the results, but principally of the fact of the recognition given us by the State Central Committee and its chairman, Hon. Philip B. Stewart, Mr. Geo. P. Steele, chairman of the County Central Committee, and Mrs. Annie Scott, vice chairman of the County Central Committee, who from their experience in dealing with us politically for quite a number of years, gave another proof of their confidence in us and their assurance of our dauntlessness in helping to restore the Republican party to its ennobling position which is second to none in the universe. We can therefore say we have done in this campaign as in the preceding ones—instructed the people in the columns of our paper, carried out the instructions of the State Committee in placing the candidates in the most conspicuous positions of our paper; and every conceivable idea pertaining to the success of our party was put into action which brought about such good and grand results as to make the editor and his staff feel that elation which is common to none but real, honest, upright and true Republicans. A successful and useful political career is hoped for the new officials, and the Colorado Statesman promises to continue in the ranks of the Grand Old Pary which makes it possible for all men to meet one another on one common platform supporting and sustaining their actions for the good of all the people. NEW YORK TIMES SOLVES A PUZZLE (From New York Age) Every once in a while the New York "Times," contrary to its general policy, strikes an editorial blow in behalf of the colored peoples of the world. Only last week we quoted the rather scathing remarks it made on the insincere and cowardly action of the American Bar Association in repealing the resolution debarring Negroes from becoming members.

"Times" seeks and finds a reason for the "widespread, probably general, feeling of mingled apprehension and repugnance," excited by the use of colored soldiers in settling the quarrels of white nations. It advances a reason which, it says, may be of the sort called subconscious; and adds that, at any rate, it has not often been mentioned. The reason given is that even the people calling themselves most highly civilized give to physical courage and fighting ability sincere admiration; and though they are supposed to condition this admiration by the merits of the cause Philip B. Stewart. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO for which bravery and prowess are displayed, it is impossible to withhold it from those who show these qualities—especially in a fight against odds. So, white men subconsciously resent seeing men of color given the opportunity to display those qualities which they wish to believe to be possessed exclusively by the white race. The latter half of this article is so much to the point that it will be well to quote it directly. It reads as follows: "And science our appreciation for efficient pugnacity is so great, may it not be that we object to the utilization of more or less 'savage' troops as auxiliaries in a white man's war simply because, when this is done, the 'savages' show themselves practically equal to us in the very things for which we admire ourselves most? "At any rate, the comparison is not so much to our advantage as we would like to have it. As the present war has repeatedly illustrated, the men of color—the Senegalese and the East Indians—are not at all afraid to attack white troops, sometimes do it effectively, and manifest no incapacity for using our weapons or in executing the military operations worked out after profound study by our best experts. We can still believe that the dark folk need white instruction and leadership to make them 'good' soldiers, but the great majority of white troops are also more or less nearly helpless when left to their own devices. "The often-demonstrated superiority of white armies to those black, red, or yellow seems to be more largely a matter of weapons than of courage or of natural military ability. As far as 'atrocities' go, there is not so much to choose, if all stories are to be believed, and they all rest on about the same basis of unproven accusation." It is an encouraging sign to see so great an American paper as the New York "Times" make so frank an admission, or better, confession. It is the more encouraging because of the fact that among American papers, the "Times" cannot be accused of having been unduly sympathic toward the dark races.

George expects to visit Denver soon. H. H. COLORED EXHIBIT AT SAN FRANCISCO The possibility of a Negro Exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco next year is again talked of. At first the idea was scouted by many colored citizens as a relic of the "Jim Crow" system, and the members of Congress from California did not take kindly to any suggestion to a separate display of the products of the brain and skill of the Negro people. Nevertheless, Senator O'Gormon of New York, always alert to please his colored constituents, has introduced providing for the appropriation of $35,000 for a Negro exhibit at 'Frisco under government auspices the plan being to show to the world what a distinctive class of Americans are doing to enlarge the scope of the nation's intellectual and industrial pursuits. There is quite a division of opinion on the subject and even the opponents of a separating of exhibits, based on color, are inclined to think that some means ought to be devised whereby the colored people may secure full credit for the products they may bring or send to the big show. There is also a desire to share in the immense patronage at the disposal of the Exposition, not only as a subordinate employee, but as managers and executives. It is argued that only through a separate exhibit can the Negro get a 'look-in' on the managerial staff, or be any considerable number of helpers. The contention is also made that the $35,000 suggested is not enough to guarantee an exhibit that will do the race anything like justice. It is thought that the amount ought to be raised to at least $100,000, the sum allowed for the Negro Department at Jamestown, a much smaller project than that to be staged at 'Frisco Mrs. A. M. Curtis, who was fiscal agent of the Negro Department of the Ter-Centennial Exposition at Jamestown in 1907 and who was connected with the board of lady managers of the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893, is interesting herself in the O'Gorman measure and will be in a position to give some definite information on the subject in the future.

RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Chicago, Nov. 3. James Henry Osgood, founder of the "underground railroad," by which fugitive slaves were aided in escaping North, died here yesterday at the age of ninety-eight. He was born in Springfield, Mass. In 1850 he started an express company between Boston and Worcester. Sylvester Skank, seventy-five years old, a colored violinist, died suddenly last night of heart disease in the bathroom of his home 1325 Green street, Philadelphia. For fifty years, he had been well known as a street musician and at one time was in demand at dance parties in the vicinity of Broad street and Fairmount avenue. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 3.—A recently proposed segregation ordinance passed the lower house of the council over the veto, but through the efforts of the local branch of the Advancement Association, with Dr. Howard Smith and Prof. H. O. Cook acting on the committee, the ordinance was pigeon-holed in the committee of the upper house. This is the second ordinance which has been side-tracked by this organization. Washington, D.C., Nov. 4. According to the report of President Stephen M. Newman to the Secretary of the interior, Howard University has reached a total enrollment of more than 1,550. The treasurer reported a total income of $201,061.66, and expenditures of $203,181.63. The endowment fund for all purposes total $302,736.21, and funds appropriated by Congress and disbursing clerk of the Interior Department amounted to $101,000. Baltimore, Md., Nov. 4. At a special meeting of the Maryland and Virginia Conference of the African Methodist Union Protestant Church, at Ruxton, Md., last week it was decided to unite with the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. Negotiations began a year ago, following the introduction of a resolution by the Rev. James A. Handy of Norfolk, Va., proposing consolidation. It was suggested in the resolution that several bishops be allowed, as well as an assistant editor for The Christian Index, the organ of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church The Maryland and Virginia Conference, which also includes the District of Columbia, has nearly 40 churches in its mem- NO 12 bership. The Rev. Perri Robinson is president. Union with the Colored M. E. Church will greatly strengthen that church in this section of the country. Annapolis, Md., Nov. 4.—Argument touching upon the validity of the separate car law will be heard in the Court of Appeals one day next week, when the case of Joseph Jenkins, charged with violation of the law by refusing to occupy a seat assigned to colored people comes up. Jenkins was a passenger on a car of the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis Railway. He was indicted in Baltimore City for alleged violation of the "Jim Crow" car law. Hawkins & McMechen, his attorneys, demurred to the indictment on the ground that it did not state between what points Jenkins was a passengers. Judge Elliott sustained the demurrer and the State filed an appeal. In the case of Attorney William H. Hart of Washington, charged with violation, of the law the Court of Appeals ruled that a passenger traveling from a point without the State to a point within and vice versa, was exempt from the provisions of the law. Providence, R. I., Nov. 4.—The Board of directors of the Providence Y. M. C. A. have issued a statement which sets at rest all reports that Negroes would be discriminated against as applicants for membership in that institution. The fact that several persons objected to the admission of Negroes aroused the colored organizations of the city to make a protect, and this was followed by the director's action. The statement issued by the Y. M. C. A., officials is as follows: The Providence Young Men's Christian Association for more than 60 years has served the young men and boys of our city in a broad and liberal spirit, making no distinction in receiving applications for membership because of race or sect. We believe that the only test of eligibility must continue to be, as it always has been, character and moral worth, and that by such standards of selection the association will exemplify its high ideals. We therefore believe it is sufficient for this board to declare that no reason exists for any change in the principles which have theretofore governed the association in its requirements for membership. RUSSIANS PRESS GERMAN FORCES Enormous Slav Army Advanced Rapidly in Poland and Reached Border. QUIETER ALONG FRENCH LINE Opposing Armies Both Appear to be on Defensive Awaiting Renewal of Desperate Fight Along the Coast. ( Summary of Events. ) What is described as a continued and irresistible offensive of the Russian army, resulting in the evacuation of Poland by the Germans, is reported as successfully establishing itself in German territory at Plescenen, ten miles west of the Russo-German frontier. In addition the Germans are said to be generally relinquishing their stand along the Warthe river. This advance was accomplished, it is stated, by the Russian cavalry movement in outflanking the German left, threatening the German line of communications. Allies Hold Line Firmly At the end of two weeks of continuous fighting the Allies' line from the sea to the Aisne remains firm in the face of the German attack. The Allies even appear to have succeeded in advancing their positions slightly. This military experts declare is creditable, in view of the great importance attached by the German general staff to throwing the allied forces back on the coast, as is shown by the heavy sacrifices they are willing to make to attain this object. Wary of Flank Attacks. The Germans still hold three points on the Yser as a guard against flanking attacks on the right, coming by way of the narrow region of sand dunes under cover of British monitors. They also continue to hold Roulers, but have retired three miles south of Dixmude and considerable forces continue to be directed towards Ypres. That city, which is being bombarded from a distance of eight miles, hardly has a street intact. Two shells struck the famous thirteenth century Cloth hall, doing much damage. Battle from Yser to Moselle. The Germans are showing renewed activity from the Yser to the Moselle, indicating either their intention to begin another great effort for victory or to conceal the withdrawal of troops to be sent to the eastern theater of war, or perhaps both. The battle around Ypres continues with undiminished fury, but as the Allies continue to take the initiative, the advantage rests with them. Austrians Retreat to Cracow. Along the south Polish frontier the Russians attacked the Austrian rear guard at Pinczow, which commands an important crossing on the Upper Vistula, twenty-five miles from Cracow. It is asserted here that a general retreat of the Austrian forces on Cracow as a new base is now apparent. The capture of Cracow is now regarded as a certainty in Petrograd. The advance of the Russians to the south in Galicia and Southwest Poland has been pressed with unrelenting vigor. An advance guard is reported to have reached the River Niszica, thirty-five miles from Cracow. The movement has cut off the Austrian armies operating south of Przemysl and along the River San. With the German corps supporting the Austrian forces, this army is estimated at about 600,000. Russians in Posen. Russian troops are now in Posen province. Advancing with a speed which has called forth the highest praise from the czar and the general staff, the great mass of the Russian army has pressed behind the Germans until official reports declare an advance guard has crossed the River Warthe and now holds Pleschen, sixty-two miles north of Breslau and ten miles inside the German frontier. Two drives are now being made by the Russians toward Berlin. The advance in East Prussia continues to meet with success, the Russian forces steadily pressing forward. The Germans have been driven from Wirballen and the territory from Wirballen to Lyck cleared of the kaiser's troops. Austria to be Subdued. The declaration of Grand Duke Nicholas that the victory of the Russian forces may now make it possible for the army to turn to new tasks is taken to mean that the greatest attention may be given the Austrian and Turkish campaigns. In this event the advance upon Berlin would be DE WET DEFEATS CRONJE IN SOUTH AFRICAN BATTLE London.—Gen. Christian DeWet, the rebel leader, has been in contact with and dispersed a small government commando under General Cronje, a member of the legislature, near Dornberg. In the course of the fighting General DeWet's son, Daniel, was killed. The government is sending strong re-enforcements to Cronje. Reuter's Capetown correspondent postponed. The force left on the Prussian frontier, however, would be sufficient to be a constant menace to the kaiser and rekuire the maintenance of a great field army to hold the Russians in check. Additional reports bring fresh details of the extent of the Russian victory and the British war office expresses the greatest satisfaction at the success of Grand Duke Nicholas (which has come sooner than Lord Kitchener or any of his advisers had dared hope. The lines of communication of the Austrian and German army are declared to have been practically cut and the position of the enemy is extremely serious. Say Victory is Complete. So complete is the victory of Russian arms along the East Prussian and Galician frontier that the czar'm general staff may now choose the manner in which the campaign in the interests of the allied powers arraigned against Germany may be conducted. With advance cavalry patrols in the Province of Posen and with the East Prussian frontier crossed, the great army of the czar has attained its full momentum. The speed with which the vast force has been moved has startled To Annihilate Russians. 10 Annihilate Russians. A dispatch from Rome says that Emperor William, much affected by the Russian victories, has held a council of war, which was attended by General Von Hindenberg, the Duke of Wurttenburg and the Austrian chief of staff, Field Marshal Baron Conrad Von Hoetzendorf, to decide on a further plan of campaign. Japs Take Tsing Tau. The German colony of Tsing Tau in the Chinese province of Kalo Chow has at last surrendered to the Japanese-British forces after a land and naval siege of more than two months. The capture of this stronghold takes from Germany her last foothold on the Asiatic mainland and her last strategic position outside the German Empire in Europe. The Armenians' Opportunity. The most significant development to date of Russo-Turco war is the announcement that the Armenians are rising against Turkey. Realizing that the present is an opportune time to throw off the Turkish yoke and to get revenge for past outrages, the Armenians are offering their services to the Russian Caucasian army which has invaded Turkey. Shell Turkish Port. The protected cruisers Kagul and Pamiat Merkooria of the Russian Black Sea fleet bombarded the Straits of Bosphorus and the coal depots off Eregli, according to announcement made at Constantinople. The Turkish fleet went out to meet the Russian warships, but soon returned. A number of vessels at the port of Eregli, which is 128 miles northeast of Constantinople, were destroyed during the bombardment by the Russians. Turks Rusm Troops to Egypt. An advance of Turkish troops in the Sinai Peninsula in the direction of Egypt is reported in Berlin from Switzerland. The Turkish army operating against Egypt is said to number one-fourth million men. Feed 400,000 Daily. Provisions sent to Brussels by the American commission for the relief of Belgium already are supplying four hundred thousand meals daily and on a similar work throughout that part plans are now complete for carrying of Belgium occupied by the Germans. 10 GENERAL BENNENKAMPE Major General Rennenkampf, commander of the Russian army in eastern Prussia which seems to be advancing steadily toward Berlin. gives the following official communication concerning the fighting in South Africa: "An engagement between General Lammer's forces and Transvaal rebels under Gen. Christian Beyers occurred on the Vet River, southeast of Bloemhof, November 8. "The rebels, well armed, and led by Beyers, were entirely dispersed, losing nine men killed, eleven men wounded, 364 prisoners, 300 rifles and 300 horses. "The loyalists' casualties were three men killed and nine wounded." AMMONS FLAYS U.S. LAND RULES GOVERNORS' CONFERENCE TOLD WESTERN STATES' DEVELOP- MENT IS RETARDED. GOOD COAL IN WYOMING GOV. CAREY CONDEMNED THE GOVERNMENT'S POLICY OF WITHDRAWING LANDS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Madison, Wis.—Western governors before the governors' conference here denounced what they called unfaun treatment of public land states by the federal government. Elias M. Ammons of Colorado, Joseph H. Carey of Wyoming and A. O. Eberhart of Minnesota seconded the plea of William Spry of Utah that the western states be allowed to develop their resources without interference from Washington. Gov. Ammons of Colorado charged that the federal reclamation service under the last three Presidents had disobeyed the orders of the nation's chief executive in refusing to allow Colorado to use public lands for building a reservoir. He said the magazines had printed conservation articles full of misstatements and had refused to publish the other side of the question. Some of the magazine writers, the governor declared, had distorted facts. Among other things they had asserted that Rockefeller owned all the coal land in Colorado—whereas he owned only 800 acres out of the 472,000 acres of coal land under lease by the state. Gov. Carey of Wyoming condemned the government's policy of withdrawing coal and mineral lands because such action tended to retard development many years. He said that federal attempts to improve such lands were wasteful. "Instead of being liberal with us," said Gov. Carey, "the government has limited us to the smallest area, and this despite the fact that the Rocky Mountain states must struggle the hardest for development amid adverse circumstances. There is more good coal in Wyoming than in any other state—yet the government refuses to allow a settler to dig a bag full for his own use. The land should be parceled out among all the people of the state." Gov. Eberhart of Minnesota cited the success of states in coping with public utilities as an earnest of their ability to regulate the development of their own resources. He called on the eastern and southern states to support the demand of the western states for better treatment from the national government. Gov. Stewart of Montana said his belief was that the quicker public lands passed under public ownership, the sooner the country would find its full developments. Colorado's First Congressman Dead. Denver.—Judge Hiram P. Bennet, for fifty years one of Denver's most prominent citizens, and Colorado's first congressman, died from angina pectoris with which he had been ill for several days. Judge Bennet was eighty-eight years old, and before his coming to Colorado in 1859 had served in the Nebraska Territorial Legislature several times. He is survived by five children. Quarantine Is Removed. Washington.—The federal quarantine over Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming, because of scabies in sheep, was removed by Secretary Houston. It has been determined that the disease exists only to a slight extent. PULLIAM RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT At Twenty-Sixth Annual State Con Denver.—D. T.

PRODUCER TO CONSUMER. Eighty Farmers Want to Feed Denverites Through Parcels Post. Denver.—The first step of the Denver postoffice toward putting into actual use the proposed parcel post service for delivering produce from farmers to city consumers was taken when Postmaster Charles Trodder sent to Denver housewives a list containing the names of eighty farmers who are willing to ship their goods direct, thus eliminating the profit of the middleman. The majority of the farmers on the list are in Colorado. But a few are in Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming. Their produce includes vegetables of all kinds, fruits, poultry, butter, eggs and meat. All the farmers are within the local first and second zones of the parcel post rating system. This means the rate for transportation will cost 5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent for each additional two-pounds or fraction thereof, etc. Mountain Hotel Men Elect Officers Denver.—the Rocky Mountain Hotel men at their fourteenth annual convention elected officers for the ensuing year as follows: Alfred Lamborn, Estes Park, president; A.

Washington, in a letter to the Negro people, makes these timely suggestions: "There are 1,400,000 colored families who live on farms or in villages, or small towns. Of this number, at the present time, 700,000 have no pigs. I want to ask that each family raise at least one pig this fall. Where one or more pigs are already owned, I want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall. "As soon as possible, I want to ask that this plan be followed by the organization of a pig club in every community where one does not already exist. I want to ask that the matter be taken up at once through families, schools, churches and societies, farmers' institutes, business leagues, etc. "The average pig is valued at about five dollars. If each family adds only one pig, in a few months at the present prices for hogs, $10 would be added to the wealth of the owner, and $14,000,000 to the wealth of the colored people. If each family adds two pigs, it would have in a few months $20 more wealth, and $28,000,000 would be added with which to promote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European war." The "pig club" idea is one that the Negroes of the South should embrace. At this time all farmers of the South are discussing the problem which an enforced reduction of the cotton area has precipitated, and it is generally agreed that hogs and the feed crops necessary to maintain them will be the most profitable substitute for cotton. There is no doubt that the white farmers will as far as possible pay more attention to hogs hereafter than they ever have before, and the Negro farmers are just as much interested in the hog question as others. The Negro farmers have made much progress during the past quarter of a century, but they have usually suffered from the same causes which have impoverished the white farmers, the chief of which is the failure to raise on the farm what is consumed at the farm table. Out of the present dilemma the South ought to emerge the greatest meat-producing region of the world, and this objective will certainly be reached if the 1,400,000 Negro families take Washington's advice and organize pig clubs in every village and farm community. The South will have all her agricultural problems pretty well settled when the southern farmers "live at home." It will be the most prosperous region of the United States, and we shall soon see the end of the tenant system, the credit system and all the old systems which have kept so many thousands impoverished.—Houston Post. Mrs. C. J. Walker, one of the most prosperous colored business citizens of Indianapolis and one of the most successful colored women of America, is founding an industrial school in West Pondoland, South Africa. The school is modeled after the Tuskegee institute, and has the indorsement of Booker T. Washington. She is also maintaining at Tuskegee institute scholarships, three boys and two girls, with the hope that they will go to Africa to engage in educational work. She was left an orphan at the age of seven, and has won her own way in the world. She is the only colored woman in the world to give $1,000 to Y. M. C. A. work. The number of Negroes in the United States proper in 1910 was 9,827,763, compared with 8,833,994 in 1900, or an increase of 933,769, a preliminary report of the census bureau announced. In 1910 Negroes formed 20.7 per cent of the total population, as against 11.6 per cent in 1900. The increase for the decade was 11.2, compared with 20.8 per cent among the native whites and of 30.1 per cent among the foreign-born whites. Of a total of 2,953 counties in the United States there were only 110 in which there were no Negroes, and there were 53 counties in 1910, as against 55 counties in 1900, in which 75 per cent of the population was Negro. Of the total number of Negroes ten years of age and over, 27,731, or 30.4 per cent, were reported as illiterate. The percentage of illiteracy decreased from 57.1 in 1890 to 30.4 in 1910. The total value of farm property operated by Negroes was $1,144,181,000, as against $499,941,000 in 1910. The death rate among them in the registration area was 25.5 for 1,000, as against 29.4 in 1900. Boats equipped with gasoline engines are used a great deal in Paraguay for carrying fruit down the river. Government officials have estimated that 1,350,000 horsepower in the form of gas alone is wasted every day by the old-fashioned coke ovens of the United States. A Norwegian scientist has advanced the theory that Saturn's rings are electrical phenomena, produced by the radiation of luminous particles from the planet, which constantly renews them. At the opening of the forty-third annual session of the Negro Baptist General Missionary and Educational convention at Fort Worth, Tex., Dr. L. K. Williams told 1,000 Negroes that if the Negro ever amounted to anything he would have to help himself, and not sit around on the streets complaining about white people or any other people. "Every man, woman and child in the state can be something and have something," he declared, "and if the Negro falls he will have only himself to blame." Proof. F. W. Gross, president of the Houston college, delivered an address. The convention was one of the largest in its history. Among the visitors introduced were Rev. E. Arlington Wilson and wife, of Muskogee, Okla.; C. G. Fishback, D. D., Topeka, Kan., field secretary of the National Baptist Foreign Missionary board; H. B. Britt, Louisville, Ky., singing evangelist. In addressing the convention in its second day's session, Rev. L. K. Williams declared that ignorance was the Negroes' great liability, and urged the convention to work as never before to wipe it out or the future of the race in America would be dark. "The pew is demanding a trained minister," said Reverend Williams, "and no time in our history have we had as many idle preachers waiting for some one to call them, and then we have few worthy churches looking for the proper men to call." Dr. J. E. Knox of Dallas, superintendent of missions, delivered an address, and introduced Rev. Dr. F. M. McConnell of Dallas, corresponding secretary of the General Baptist State convention (white), who delivered an address. "When I think of the war in Europe in respect to my people," said Doctor Williams in his annual address, "I shudder, and I call upon you ministers as leaders of people, as you go from this place, urge them to live closer to God, and do all of our work well." Rev. J. Frank Norris, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church, addressed the convention. He congratulated the Negro Baptists on what they had accomplished and the stand they had taken against intemperance and the saloon. "I believe it is possible to drive out whisky from our country." Attributing the inability of the Negro Presbyterian church to keep pace with churches of other denominations to too much culture, Rev. J. B. Isaacs, Wilmington, in a paper read at the session of the twenty-first annual convention of the Afro-American Presbyterian council at Reading Pa., representing five eastern states, suggested zeal and practical religion as a panacea for the ills of the sect. Rev. Isaacs said the church was afflicted with plague known as "intellectual achievement of the scholarship," and that something woefully was wrong with its ideas, otherwise the progress would be greater than at present. After a paper by Rev. Francis Gregory, Philadelphia, on "How to Reach the Unchurched," the session adjourned. A famous German physician proves that infantile paralysis is often carried from one household to another by domestic animals, such as chickens, ducks and cows. At the National Negro Business League convention at Muskogee, Oklahoma, it was stated that the 2,000,000 Negroes living in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas have under their control, as owners and renters, about three hundred million dollars worth of farm property and and own 60,000 farms, containing 6,000,000 acres of land with farm property, land, live stock, and farming implements worth $200,000,-000. The first state tuberculosis sanitarium for colored people in this country is to be located in Delaware, near Hope farm. It consists of several acres of well wooded and well watered land. A temporary building has been opened, with accommodations for about twenty patients. The livestock exhibit at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco will last throughout the period of the exposition, from February 20 to December 4, 1915. Competitions will take place in October and November of next year. Russia's population is increasing at the rate of 2,500,000 a year. It now stands at about one hundred and forty-seven million, of which 100,000,000 are peasants. American wire wheels with rubber tires are soon to be used on Japanese rickhas in place of the old Japanese wooden wheels.

OUR REAL FRIENDS From the Richmond Planet we gleaned information of the case of John Clements (Negro), charged with assaulting Miss Fannie Chenault (white) on the evening of May 9, 1914. This man, after six months' incarceration in jail, was brought out and tried by a jury on the aforementioned charge and found not guilty. So impressed were the people with his innocence that Father Hannigan, a Roman Catholic priest, stood by him throughout the trial securing the services of three attorneys, who defended him free of charge, adding to the popular belief. This case being a remarkable one, as another Negro was killed in connection with it, and this John Clements was on trial for his life, we cannot help from expressing our highest regards and appreciation for the kind services rendered our fellowman in this perilous hour. It is also stated that one juror remarked that never did a doubt exist in his mind as to the man's innocence during the trial. This, coupled with the action of the priest in procuring him meals after his acquittal and a ticket to Norfolk, Va., to send him to relatives, is sufficient proof of the action of our real friends. Such friendliness will surmount in a short time the wicked and cruel arm of prejudice and the law of might versus right will then be consigned to depths from which it will ne'er return. There are times when we would almost lose heart over conditions that seem to grow and that very rapidly, in unfairness and injustice by the overwhelming odds against us, but when such incidents as the present issue dawn upon us, there surely must be an awakening of Christian principles and human ideals, eliminating the dark days of trouble and despair, and diffusing the light of true brotherhood and common friendship among men, be they high or low, rich or poor. TO THE VICTOR BELONGS THE SPOILS. From the days of Judaism up to the Christian era we have been familiarized with the quaint expression "To the victor belongs the spoils"; and as far as we can remember in historical facts, spoils of war were always divided and subdivided by the captors, not the captives, by the victors, not the victims. Moses in his leadership of Israel was given certain instructions and commands to carry out, and if he acted in strict obedience, himself and followers would be rewarded with the possession of the "promised land." Moses had no easy time in the performance of his duty, as sometimes when it became necessary to contend with hardships, many of his followers who were not garrisoned with courage, endurance and hope, would subject him to great embarrassments by their continuous murmurings; but having an objective, he resolved to be the standard-bearer, leading them from darkness into light, failure to success, defeat to victory, until his time expired, making it possible for his successor, Joshua, to safely harbor them in the "promised land." During their wanderings there were many things that Israel was commanded to take and others that were forbidden, but when they reached their goal, then they were at liberty to partake of all the land possessed—every family and members thereof getting a fair and adequate share for their subsistence. The murmurers were not participants of this reward, as owing to their refusal to obey and their lack of endurance and faith in the good things that were to come, they met the fate of their desires, which impaired their journey and eventually cut them off from the faithful. These are truths that we cannot allow to go unheeded, as they contain so many precious lessons. In our present Republican success there will appear on the scene a number of applicants for positions when the Legislature meets and when the officials succeed their positions. Many there will be who have served the party faithfully and honestly, untiring in their efforts, loyal in their support, always living with the hope that sooner or later they would be eye-witnesses to the victory which was theirs, but which could only come in due time, and therefore share in whatever would fall to them, small or great. Others there are of mushroom growth who stayed with us while everything was pleasant, while the sunshine of success sent its rays around and about us, but as soon as the clouds, black in their form, hovered by, they left us to be enveloped in the bursting of thunderstorms that would almost annihilate us. These are also seeking positions, as they think they are entitled to consideration, having returned; but right will prevail, and those who are in position to give of the spoils must take full cognizance of the fact that "those who should reach the top first must climb the hill." The supporters, therefore, of the party among the colored race who have been devoted year in year out, to help to bring about this victory, should be first considered; and as Moses and Joshua rewarded that portion of Israel who kept faithful to the end, so should the people who have never failed in their zeal and energy to the Rpublican party be rewarded at this time. The Colorado Statesman, rejoicing in the success achieved, at this time ventures to offer the reminder that in its continuous fight for the restoration of this Grand Old Party, it acted of its own volition, making the numerous presentations to the people of the things we stand for and according to the well-accented expression of "one good turn deserves another," we feel sure in our requests of patronage for those who helped to bring about this success, that the necessity for a delegation will not arise, as we firmly believe that fair play and justice will guide those who are the distributors of such awards. If all humanely disposed persons witnessing acts of cruelty to animals would take the trouble to secure the arrest, and punishment of persons who violate the anticruelty laws of the state Cases of Cruelty to Children and Animals By M. E. HARRIS, Chicago The only argument that seems to appeal to most cruel drivers is the fear of arrest and fine. A person witnessing an act of cruelty to a dumb animal can cause the arrest of the offender without a warrant if he is willing to take out a warrant after reaching the police station. The person taking out the warrant will also have to appear in court as prosecuting witness. If there is no policeman at hand to make the arrest upon complaint of the citizen then the citizen can make the arrest, provided he or she is willing to comply with the formality of swearing out a warrant and appearing as prosecuting witness when the case is tried, which is usually the following day. It is violation of the law "to cruelly punish any child or to expose it to vicious influences or to contribute toward its dependency or delinquency;" "to overload, overwork, overdrive, cruelly beat or injure any animal, or to knowingly cause or allow the same to be done;" "to drive an old, maimed, infirm, sick or disabled animal;" "to abandon any such animal or to unnecessarily fail to provide it with proper food, drink or shelter;" "to shoot or mutilate birds by slingshots, airguns or other means." Either Good Mirrors or None at All By John L. Kennedy, Washington, D. C. In early times the usual reflectors used by those who wished to see the effect of their personal charms were the still places in meadow brooks or the placid surface of some lake. Afterward Either Good Mirrors or None at All By John L. Kennedy, Washington, D. C. In early times the usual reflectors used by those who wished to see the effect of their personal charms were the still places in meadow brooks or the placid surface of some lake. Afterward Venus came along and for her the looking-glass was invented. The messenger of the gods has not left any information as to whether hers was a satisfactory plate, but I am impressed with the belief that it is much better to have no mirror at all unless it be a good one. I happen to know a statesman in Washington who is strong and original, even if he be not great. His private secretary may at some remote time in the past have had ideas and an identity of his own, but no such audacity as to be his original self has occurred to him in a generation. An effort at reflection is now his highest mental emprise. To see the chest swelling, the muscle tightening, the energy with which he attempts to embody the great man's sentiments in language which patterns after the utterances of his patron is matter to make the angels weep. The image is not at all to the credit of the original, and that leads up to the conclusion that great men, as well as great beauties, should see to it that their mirrors are of right manufacture. Excellent Hints on Our Table Manners By S.CHESLEY FORD, Brooklyn, N.Y. My attention has been called to different people when eating and I have noticed on numerous occasions the apparent disregard of early training in table manners relating to the way in Excellent Hints on Our Table Manners By S.CHESLEY FORD, Brooklyn, N.Y. My attention has been called to different people when eating and I have noticed on numerous occasions the apparent disregard of early training in table manners relating to the way in which the fork is held in the left hand. As I understand it, while seated at the table the arms should be closely held to the sides. This brings the forearm nearly level with though never resting on the table. To get the right position to hold the fork close the left hand loosely with the forefinger pointing toward that which is about to be cut. Now, with the fork in the left hand, hold the tines down, the forefinger resting on the bend or the shoulder of the folk, which is made for that purpose, letting the rest of the fingers trail loosely after and closing on the fork handle. The fork, when held in the right hand, I notice, is nearly always held correctly, but when changed to the left hand it is usually held just as a carpenter holds a 20-penny nail while giving it a few taps preparing to send it "home." To anyone who has not been in the habit of holding the fork in the way I have tried to describe it will soon become apparent that it is a great deal easier to hold the fork correctly than otherwise. Times When Audience Should Always Stand By W. G. BENTLEY, Joliet, Ill. Loyalty is the body. Sentiment is the soul. Loyalty is a duty one owes his country. Sentiment gives it life and prompts action. Patriotism to be effective must be inspired by both. Love Times When Audience Should Always Stand By W. G. BENTLEY, Joliet, Ill. Loyalty is the body. Sentiment is the soul. Loyalty is a duty one owes his country. Sentiment gives it life and prompts action. Patriotism to be effective must be inspired by both. Love is life in motion, so patriotism is national life in action. The "Star-Spangled Banner" is an inspiring anthem that should stir the blood of every true American. If the patriotic newspapers will join in a movement requesting congress to adopt that poem as our national anthem it will be done. Teach the people that whenever the "Star-Spangled Banner" or "America" is sung or played the audience should stand—should always stand. If such a custom shall prevail it will be of incalculable value in inspiring the foreigner who adopts this country as his home with respect for our flag—the Stars and Stripes—the only flag of this "land of the free and home of the brave." Whose Task Is Hardest to Fulfill? By F. FISCHER, Milwaukee, Wis. Of all professions in the city that of motorman is beyond doubt the most difficult to fulfill. To the onlooker who is unfamiliar with the many Of all professions in the city that of motorman is beyond doubt the most difficult to fulfill. To the onlooker who is unfamiliar with the many tests and trials to which the motorman is subjected it may seem an easy talk, but if he were for the short space of one week to take the motorman's place and witness the many hairbreadth escapes, the many insults that are heaped upon the motorman in the course of the day and trouble encountered in trying to please the patrons I have little doubt that he would lay down the handles in despair. When the motorman leaves the barn in the morning he must ever keep his eye on the rail to see that it is clear and he must watch the greatest enemy of the motorman, the teamster, and also the automobilist who rushes on to the track regardless of speed. The motorman works with all these things on his mind while trying with might and main to avoid a collision for fear those passengers intrusted in his care may get killed or injured.

HOOPER-DENEAL WEDDING Miss Dorothy Alice DeNeal and Mr. Zachariah Hooper, Jr., were made happy in holy wedlock on Thursday evening last at the residence of the bride's mother, 1154 Broadway. Rev. David E. Over performed the ceremony in the presence of a large number of friends who were closely associated with the family of the bride for a number of years. The bride wore a white embroidered dress, white silk sash and veil which was worn by her mother many years ago, which lent a charming appearance to her. Supporting her was Miss Eleanor V. De Neal, sister of the bride, in white crepe dress, chiffon trimmings, who looked very elegant. The groom, attired in the usual convention black, was ably supported by his brother, Benjamin Hooper. The house was beautifully decorated in white, green and pink colors, the same being carried out in the refreshments. The presents were many and valuable, expressing the popularity of the young folks. The bride is the daughter of the late Churchill T. De Neal and Mrs. E. L. De Neal, formerly of Virginia and residents of Denver for over thirty years, a graduate of the public schools of this city and a violinist in the Zion Baptist choir. Her genial disposition and her general bearing in the community endeared her to the hearts of all. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Zachariah Hooper. The happy couple will reside with the bride's mother, 1154 Broadway. The Colorado Statesman wishes them a peaceable and harmonious journey along the milestones of life. President Wilson And Negro Democrats Clash Washington, Nov. 12.—Deeply offended by the tone and manner of their chairman, W. M. Trotter of Boston, President Wilson today ended an interview with a delegation of Negroes who called at the White House to protest against race segregation in government departments, with a warning that if the Negroes wanted to see him again they would have to get another spokesman. The President said he had not been addressed in such fashion since he entered the White House. The delegation formally complained that Postmaster General Burleson, Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams of the treasury were enforcing segregation of white and Negro employés in their offices. Wilson listened to the statement and then replied at length, explaining that he had investigated this matter himself and had been assured that no discrimination had been practiced against the Negroes and that segregation had been inaugrated to avoid friction between the races, not to injure the Negro. He added that he was deeply interested in the Negro race and admired it for the progress it had made. Issue Taken With Wilson. At this point Trotter and other members of the delegation took issue with the President. They declared the Negro people did not seek charity or assistance, but took the position that they had equal rights with the whites and that these rights should be respected. There had been no friction, they insisted, before the segregation was started. Wilson waited for the protest to end. Then he told the delegation that he could not discuss the matter further. He closed with the quiet but emphatic statement that Trotter had lost control of his temper and that he (the President) could not be talked to in such a manner. When the Negroes left they said their talk had been "thoroughly disappointing," and that they would hold a mass meeting in Washington next Sunday to protest further against segregation. Trotter said in his address that his committee did not come "as wards looking for charity, but as full-fledged American citizens, vouchsafed equality of citizenship by the federal constitution." "Two years ago," said Trotter, "you were thought to be a second Abraham Lincoln." The President then tried to interrupt, asking that personalities be left out of the discussion. President Bars Trotter. Trotter continued to speak and the President finally told him that if the organization he represented wished to approach him again it must choose another spokesman, adding that he had enjoyed listening to the other members of the committee, but that Trotter's tone was offensive.

A SAFE STORE—TODAY THE DENY dent told Trotter that he was an American citizen as fully as anybody else, but that he (Trotter) was the only American citizen who had ever come into the White House and addressed the President in such a tone and such a background of passion. Here Trotter denied that he had any passion, but the President told him he had spoiled the cause for which he had come and said he expected those who professed to be Christians to come to him in a Christian spirit. The Negro spokesman continued to argue that he was merely trying to show how the colored people felt, and asserted that he and others were now being branded as traitors to their race because they advised the colored people "to support the ticket." This mention of votes caused Wilson to say that politics must be left out, because it was a form of blackmail. He said he would resent it as quickly from one set of men as from another, and that his auditors could vote as they pleased, it mattered little to him, so long as he was sure he was doing the right thing at the right time. Not a Political Problem. The President spoke frankly, saying that if the colored people had made a mistake in voting for him they ought to correct it, but that he would insist that politics should not be brought into the question because it was not a political problem. With some emotion he declared he was not seeking office and that a man who sought the office of the presidency was a fool for his pains. He spoke of the intolerable burden of the office and of things with which he had to do with were more than the human spirit could carry. Emphasizing that he did not care in the least for the political considerations involved, Wilson urged that he wanted his auditors to understand that it was a human problem and not a political problem. Would Avoid Sentiment. While the American people wanted to support the advancement of the Negro, the President was sure that as practical men, everybody knew there was a point at which friction is apt to occur. The question must be stripped of sentiment and viewed in its facts, because the facts got the better of the individual whether one desired it or not. The President said he thought his colleagues in the government departments were not trying to put the Negro at a disadvantage, but simply to make arrangements which would prevent friction. Would Help Black Race. He added that the question involved was not a question of intrinsic qualities because all had human souls and were equal in that respect, but that for the present it was a question of economic policy whether the Negro race could do the same things that the white race could do with equal efficiency. He said he thought the Negroes were proving that they could and that every one wished to help them so that they would not be so dependent and that their conditions of labor would be bettered. The entire matter, however, should be treated with a recognition of its difficulties. Wilson said he was anxious to do what was just and asked for more memoranda from the committee as to instances of segregation about which they complained. 13 CENTS A DAY BUYS A PIANO WITH MUSIC LESSONS FREE.

What Is Known as French Dressing Is Perhaps the Most Popular—Economy in Preparing Quantity at a Time. Tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers, apples and celery, asparagus, string beans and radishes—all the range of fruits and vegetables—combine in salads in such endless variety that the only law of combination lies in individual taste. Dressings, too, vary, but in them rule must be more nearly followed. These three recipes for salad dressing are given by Miss Cora E. Binzel, instructor in home economics, University of Wisconsin extension division: French Dressing.—One tablespoonful vinegar, one-quarter teaspoonful onion juice, three tablespoonfuls olive oil, one-eighth teaspoonful pepper, one-quarter teaspoonful salt. Add salt, pepper and onion juice to vinegar. Then add the olive oil, beating until thick and well blended. Use a cold bowl and cold ingredients. The ingredients may be put into a wide-mouthed bottle, corked and shaken until an emulsion is formed. The dressing may be mixed and set in the icebox until chilled; the oil and vinegar will separate on standing and require further beating. Following the correct proportions French dressing may be made in large amounts, kept in a bottle in the icebox and shaken before using. Sour Cream Dressing—One-half pint sour cream, two tablespoonful lemon juice, one tablespoonful sugar, one teaspoonful salt, one-quarter teaspoonful pepper, one teaspoonful mustard. Beat the cream until it is light and thick; add the other ingredients. Sweet cream may be substituted. Cream Salad Dressing—Ten egg yolks, one-half cupful butter, one teaspoonful salt, one tablespoonful mustard, one-quarter teaspoonful pepper, one teaspoonful sugar, juice of two lemons or one-quarter cupful vinegar. Melt the butter, cool it, and when sour cream it. Add the beaten yolks mixed with seasonings. Cook over water until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from fire, add lemon juice, and mix with whipped cream as it is used. The housewife should plan to prepare a quantity of dressing at a time, keeping it in the icebox, and add sweet or sour cream as it is used. Preparing some foods in quantity is economy of time, fuel and energy. Salmon, Cucumber Sauce. One can salmon, one-half tablespoonful salt one-half tablespoonful sugar, one-half tablespoonful flour, one teaspoonful mustard, few grains cayenne, yolks of two eggs, one and one-half tablespoonfuls melted butter, three-fourths cupful milk, one-fourth cupful vinegar, three-fourths tablespoonful granulated cumin, two tablespoonfuls cold water. Remove salmon from tin, rinse thoroughly with hot water and separate in flakes. Mix dry ingredients, add egg yolks, butter, milk and vinegar. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Add gelatin soaked in cold water, strain and add to salmon. Stan'd until set. Serve in individual molds with following sauce: Beat one-half cupful heavy cream until stiff, add pinch salt, pinch pepper and two tablespoonfuls vinegar; then add one cucumber, peeled and chopped. Dark Cake for Thanksgiving. One cupful molasses, one-half cupful sugar, one-half cupful butter, one cupful milk, three cupfuls flour, two eggs, one-half pound raisins, one-quarter pound citron. Teaspoonful each cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, one-quarter teaspoonful cloves, three-quarter teaspoonful soda. Bake in a fruit cake tin (large deep tin) two hours with a slow fire. Spanish Buns One and one-fourth pounds of flour, one pound of sugar, half pound of butter, four eggs, a teacupful of cream or milk, warmed sufficiently to melt the butter; a tablespoonful of rosewater, two of wine, a grated nutmeg. Make into buns and bake Sugar Cookies. To make sugar cookies take three-fourths of a cupful of fat, one cupful sugar, one egg, one-fourth cupful milk, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, two cupfuls flour, one teaspoonful flavoring or spice. Roll thin, sprinkle with sugar, cut out and bake. Spanish Omelet. Fry two chopped onions in two tablespoonfuls of butter. When light brown add two chopped green peppers. Next add one quart of tomatoes. Season to taste, and stew until it reaches a pasty consistency. This is sufficient to fold into a six-egg omelet. Pumpkin Fritters One pint of pumpkin, boiled and sifted, one pint of milk, two eggs, one half teaspoonful salt, pinch of ginger, one teaspoonful molasses, flour to make a batter stiff enough to drop on griddle as for buckwheat. To Cut Cheese. To cut neutchateh or other soft cheese in smooth slices for serving, use a stout thread instead of a knife, as there will be no crumbling or breaking of the slices. WASHINGTON GOSSIP District of Columbia to Be Square With Uncle Sam WASHINGTON. With the payment by the District of Columbia to the federal government next spring of a balance of $76,283.29 on account of advances for special park improvements, the municipality will have the item referred to on account of advances for park improvements and $6,939,150 of the bonded debt, which does not expire until 1914. The report shows that the payment of $621,521.71 to the United States on account of advances, general fund, for extraordinary improvements, closes the account made during the fiscal years 1901 to 1909, inclusive, for certain extraordinary projects of permanent improvement in the District. Total advances on this account amounted to $4,144,696.35 and the interest charges thereon paid by the District to $587,887.64. "During the period in which the foregoing advances were made," it is stated, "there was expended on account of permanent improvements over eighteen million dollars, one-half of which, paid from District revenues, amounted to between nine and ten million dollars. All of these extraordinary improvements have been paid in cash from current revenues, without resorting to long-term loans, or permanent improvement bonds, which is the usual practice in other municipalities." The District government, according to the report, closed the year with a balance in the treasury of $75,875.24, and in the hands of the collector of taxes of $45,694.65.

Most numerous of the spirit of forgiveness and generosity, and thus produce the sentiment of peace. There are also incendiary projectiles and bullets that, as the name and title impiles, produce confaguration and are capable of creating havoc by fire. In the class of devices that are defensive rather than offensive there is the arrangement of huge mirrors set up at such angles that the approaching enemy does not see the opposing force behind these mirrors, but gets the impression of terrain, which is merely the reflection of that over which they are traversing. Then there are the electrical devices which betray the approach of an enemy, such as threads stretched across the country which on fracture communicate with signals or sound alarms indicating the location of troops. There are hidden platforms which can be so nicely adjusted that there will be an indication at headquarters of the strength of the enemy and its character, whether infantry, cavalry or artillery. One invention has to do with what is described in the files as "composite armor," which may be of alternate thicknesses, or, as in one case, be mounted on powerful springs, affording no adequate backing for the attacking shell to penetrate. The projectile, it is represented, under such nonresisting target, will bounce back. Poor Thomas Jefferson May Have to Move Again Poor Thomas Jefferson May Have to Move Again WASHINGTON'S most artistic bronze statue—that of Thomas Jefferson by the French sculptor, P. T. David Angers—has had many locations since it was presented to the United States in 1834 by Capt. Uriah P. Levy, U.S. N. Baker of Oregon, where it remained for several years. It was then transferred to the rotunda of the capitol and placed between the pictures representing the surrender of Cornwallis and General Washington surrendering his commission, by Trumbull. After occupying this position for some time it was again removed and placed on the right hand side of the east entrance to the rotunda, opposite the statue of Washington, where it now stands, but just how long it may continue in this position is not certain. Just why Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States (1801-1809), should change his location so often is rather peculiar; surely Thomas Jefferson of Virginia (1743-1826) and author of the Declaration of Independence and signer of the same, member of congress and minister to France, is entitled to have his statue located in some permanent and conspicuous place. The bronze of which the statue is composed, having been cast in Paris, is of a most excellent quality, having withstood the ravages of the elements for many years while exposed in front of the White House. This statue of Jefferson was the first statue of artistic merit—in fact, the first statue of any kind—to be placed in Statuary hall, formerly the old house of representatives, in the capitol.

The plowshares made of brass, nickel, paper men who call upo, him daily at Fundamental Principles of Health By ALBERT S. GRAY, M. D. (Copyright, 1914, by A. S. Gray) SIGNIFICANCE OF DECAYED TEETH. A tooth is a calcified papilla of the mucous membrane. The first evidence of the development of the teeth is to be found in a thickening of the mouth epithelium (mucous membrane) at the site of the future gum and a resulting downward growth of its deeper portion into the substance of the primitive jaw. This epithelial downward growth is continued along the whole length of the gum and is known as the dental lamina or tooth band. The thickening of the epithelium, which is the first sign of the future teeth, begins about the sixth week of foetal life, and the entire dental lamina, or tooth band, is completed by the end of the seventh week. The development of all the temporary and, with the exception of the eight back molars, all also of the permanent teeth, commences at an early period in intrauterine life. The human animal is endowed with twenty temporary or milk teeth which appear in the following order: The two lower central incisors erupt in the sixth to the ninth month; about two months later the two upper central incisors and two lateral incisors appear; in about another two months the two lower lateral incisors follow, these to be followed in turn, in about an equal period of time, by the four first molars; then after a rest of about four or five months the four canines are very slowly erupted and finally the milk dentition is closed at the end of about the second year after birth by the eruption of the four second molars. We have thirty-two permanent teeth and the first of these to erupt are the four first molars, which appear during or soon after the sixth year. These first permanent teeth come out behind the second milk molars without displacing any of the temporary teeth. During the seventh year the central milk incisors fall out and their place is taken by permanent ones. These shed teeth are mere shells of the crown of the teeth, all the roots having been absorbed. The lateral incisors succeed their milk predecessors in about the eighth year; the first premolars succeed the first milk molars at about nine years; the second premolars will succeed the second milk molars at about the tenth year; the canines follow in the eleventh and the second permanent molars come in behind the first at about the twelfth year, and finally the third molars, or what are generally known as the wisdom teeth, the foundations of which we have noted were laid in about the fifth year of life, erupt somewhere between the eighteenth and twentieth years. Tooth enamel is formed chiefly of calcium phosphate, with small amounts of calcium carbonate, magnesium phosphate and calcium fluoride. The dentine is of the same composition as the enamel, but contains in addition a good deal of organic matter. Worldwide investigations prove that there is a material difference in the average quality of the teeth of primitive and civilized peoples. United States senate document No. 419 states, for example, that "statistically the teeth of Americans are ten times as bad as those of the Igorotes, while the civilized Filipinos have teeth as bad as those of the Americans," and for the purpose of pointing out how bad American teeth really are we should repeat a quotation from United States bureau of education bulletin No. 24 that says: "Of our 20,000,000 children enrolled, over 10,000,000 (50 per cent, and in some schools as high as 98 per cent) have defective teeth, which are potentially, if not actually, detrimental to health." It is definitely proved that the belief that certain foods nourish specific parts or organs of the body and that by the use of these foods it is possible to stimulate the growth or functioning of certain organs is false. There is no such thing as a brain food, or a muscle food, or a bone food. Fish, for instance, is commonly reputed to be a brain food; but it is no more a brain food than is beef, or beans, or cabbage, and when fish is eaten the toe nails and the finger nails, the hair and all other parts and tissues of the body share in the resulting nutritive matter in common with the brain, each part according to its particular needs. Plants and animals in general are made up out of various groupings of some sixteen or more elements, and so long as we eat these plants and animals in reasonable quantity and in their natural combinations we thrive. Our digestive organs are adapted to and therefore have the power to select from these molecular arrangements such elements as are required and in the amounts necessary to construct and maintain our bodies in normal health and to transform the energy associated therewith to our physical needs. But when in the course of the preparation of foodstuffs constituent elements are for some rea- son removed, or when for any reason it becomes impossible to secure a sufficient supply of food material and our nutritive balance is thereby disturbed, then obviously the entire body must also share in and suffer from the lack of necessary material, no single part suffering more than another. Hence it is that decayed teeth in children under fifteen years of age is absolute proof that their entire physical economy is deficient. Weak, quickly decaying teeth, shortened jawbones, contracted pelvic bones, anaemia and a long line of correlated ills have a common cause, easily removed if we would only awake to the truth and the need for action. WHY TEETH DECAY. Carles, or decay of the teeth, is the most prevalent disease known to man. Dr. Marshall asserts that in a practise both civil and military of more than forty years in which he examined many thousands of mouths he has met but four persons who, having reached adult life, were free from every form of dental or oral disease. Decay of the teeth seems to be pre-eminently a disease of higher civilization, as it is most common among those nations which are recognized as having the highest culture. Tomes reports having examined the mouths of 3,368 English boys and girls at the Hanwell and Sutton schools and at the Exmouth training ship. These boys and girls ranged from three and one-half to seventeen years of age. Of all those examined 77 per cent were affected with decay of the teeth. "Two hundred and five children belonging to high class schools did not compare favorably with those less fortunately placed." Cunningham found that in 10,517 pupils of the age of twelve years in English and Scotch schools 85.8 per cent had dental decay. "The statistics lately compiled of children six to fourteen and youths twenty to twenty-three years of age in Germany by the recommendation of Rose, are no less lamentable," says the same investigator. We are in the midst of a strong movement for conservation; waste and loss are measured and carefully considered from every point of view and the gospel of efficiency is being preached in and to every line of business. In the shoveling of coal, the laying of brick, the manufacture of machinery, and even the delicate art of moving pig iron, scientific management enters and every move is photographed, measured and studied and improved until the efficiency of the workman is raised to the highest degree and loss of time and labor is reduced to the minimum. But why all this careful work if its results are not also conserved? All this effort will be lost unless men and women as good and competent as those now being standardized are raised to succeed the present workers. Obviously this is not being done, because the available evidence appears to prove that the teeth of the present generation seem to be inferior to those of their immediate ancestors, while the children of today have, as a rule, even a greater predisposition to dental diseases than their parents. Decay of the teeth is a symptom of body impoverishment, evidence of the lack of that element or elements in the body juices and tissues which enable the individual to resist the attack of micro-organisms, be they of tooth decay or other disease. The authorities are agreed that decay of the teeth is caused by an agent acting from without, never from within the tooth. "It is something extraneous to the teeth acting upon the surface in the beginning and penetrating little by little into its substance." The medical profession has given careful attention to practically every organ of the body except the mouth. Here we have an open, moist and warm cavity approximately twenty-three square inches in area, not including the tongue and tonsils, making an ideal incubator. The investigations of Miller, Black, Robin, Goadby, Vicentini and others show that our mouths at various times and under varying conditions contain more than 100 different species of micro-organisms. Tests show that these organisms will be found in the mouth of practically everybody. They are as numerous in the mouths of those who pass into old age without ever having had a decayed tooth, and they grow as abundantly in these healthy mouths as in the mouths of those whose teeth have the strongest tendency to decay. Tests also prove the saliva from these healthy mouths to be as acid as that from the mouths predisposed to disease, and cultures taken from them develop bacteria of the same character and virulence as cultures taken from the mouth of one whose teeth are most susceptible to decay. The difference between decay and soundness is one of personal resistance, assisted by cleanliness. This is proved by the fact that a sound set of teeth at twenty years or beyond will frequently disintegrate and decay during an attack of some fever or other enervating acute disease and that lactation frequently costs the mother one or more teeth if she is not very carefully watched and her vitality guarded. The rapid increase in tooth decay simply means that nature is overtaxed and unable to balance accounts. She is unable to manufacture resistant tissues out of lifeless materials, and unless we intelligently co-operate we shall surely pay the penalty for our stupidity by rearing a race of weaklings for future citizenship.

They make no attempt at the unusual in style or the intricate in composition, or to be anything but youthful and attractive. Anyone who is patriotic enough to be interested in the use of fine cotton fabrics or cotton laces, of which so much is manufactured here in America, may study these gowns and reproduce them in cottons. There is a world of beautiful goods in printed cottons to choose from. The plain volles and marquisettes and figured patterns in the same materials, and the dainty printed cotton nets vie with lovely quaker laces in adaptability to the simpler evening gowns. Already the foremost American designers are finding quaker lace ideal for those g.awns made for the young girls' dancing party. It is altogether practical, for it is an inexpensive lace as filmy as cobweb and as durable is net. The youngest of the three little maids who seem to be in gay readiness for the next dance has on a short, plain skirt of taffeta. Over this a bodice and overdress in flowered voile as inserts of princess lace at the front and bordering the sleeves. The pointed neck is set over a little fichu of folded chiffon. Housegown for the Morning A ```markdown ``` A CONVENIENT garment has been evolved for the delinquent fair ones who sleep late and rush through a hasty toilet in order to be presentable at the breakfast table. It combines the outlines and certain features of the plain kimono with those of a simple Empire gown. Thus it is as casly slipped on as a kimono and has the quiet grace of the high-waisted Empire dress. In the ready-made garment cord is used, and for comming it is to be commended. The skirt portion is strained with a two-inch I closed in a seam from a the waist line downward. of ribbon or of the crepe closing at the front. Snare used instead of hooks Cotton crepe, challie, albatross, nun's velling, or other supple and washable fabrics are used for making these morning gowns, with the cotton crepe favored above the others. This is a substantial, attractive washable fabric and does not really require ironing. It is woven in all the light and pretty colors which are used in the Japanese silk of which silk kimonos are made, and in both plain and figured patterns. The designs are copied after those used in the silks. The upper part of this morning dress is cut with straight, moderately wide kimono sleeves, and the regulation "V"-shaped neck. The sleeves are three-quarter length and sometimes finished with a turnback cuff. The waist line is introduced by means of a cord over which the crepe is snirred. --- Her taller sister wears a draped skirt of soft crepe, folded over at the front and with a low "baby" waist. Over this a plain short-sleeved bodice and short tunic of quaker lace is worn, confined at the waist with a twisted velvet girdle. Velvet ribbon is draped on the skirt under the lace tunic in a clever sash arrangement. The sleeves are edged with a narrow fancy cotton edging. The remaining dress of the three is made of a light-weight satin, with plain underskirt and a tunic set on to a yoke. A plain short waist of the satin is sleeveless. The chic coattee of renaissance lace, made of lace braid wrought into floral patterns with lace stitches, is the dominant feature in this charming gown for the oldest of the three young buds. Lace of this kind is handmade, and except for the difference in the braids used, is much like battenberg lace, which so many women know how to make for themselves. The fine cotton crepes and voiles, plain or printed, and the filmy cotton laces, not to speak of the silky mercerized cotton fabrics which are to be had in all the light evening colors, offer the most appropriate materials for the young girl's party gown, and in them the charm of her youth makes itself most strongly felt. 2 In the ready-made garments an elastic cord is used, and for comfort in lounging it is to be commended. The skirt portion is straight and nished with a two-inch hem, and is closed in a seam from a little below the waist line downward. A rose made of ribbon or of the crepe finishes the closing at the front. Snap fasteners are used instead of hooks and eyes. A sheer collar of her organdie with narrow hem-stitched hem is finished with a bias tape about the neck. It is basted in the neck of the morning gown. Cuffs to match are worn, basted in the sleeves and turned back over them, as shown in the picture. Similar collar and cuff sets made of net are pretty for the same purpose. Small flower forms in silk floss are embroidered on the sleeves and waist portion of this gown, the floss matching the fabric in color. It is washable but some of these morning gowns and kimonos of cotton crepe are embroidered in graceful flower sprays in which white cotton floss is used effectively on the colored materials. Blue, pink light green, lavender, and rose color are all much used for these dresses JULIA BOTTOMLEY. J. R. CONTEE Pres. and Mgr. RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992.
