PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Our Habits And Customs THE SOCIAL AND DONESTIC RELATIONS OF THE COLOR ED PEOPLE, PECULIARLY AMONG THEMSELVES. Our Hab And THE SOCIAL AND DONESTIC ED PEOPLE, PECULIARL A close study of the habits and customs of our people with the language and institutions from which the conclusion may be drawn as to the status of our civilization is indeed a great question. First of all there are many lines of differences among us, and the reasons for such differences are obvious. Many of our better classes have been driven to themselves by the criminal prosecution of others along the line of gossip, criminal arraignment and unfounded charges, which tend to scandalize and weaken their influences in the community in which they live. We say for this reason, many of the people have been driven so to speak, to themselves. The ministers in all the pulpits should take a stand against the cheap gush which is so prevalent among our people, by showing the inconsistency of such people with the Christianity they profess to have, that going from house to house on their wicked mission of gossip is not only unchristian, but is criminal, and is a great drawback to the progress of our people. Some of them seem to take great delight in being the originators of something new, even though it may be a lie of their own make, they seem to glory in telling it, and if brought to account they stand convicted of the most heinous crime that can be committed in the civilized land. The remedy for such habits is that every family should carefully study the character of those whom they would admit as their associates, or invite into their company. False friends are our worse enemies they in sheep's clothing enter our confidence, and like wolves destroy us if trusted. This is a condition that is apalling among us. It is found to exist in some of our best churches and is a menace to the progress of our social and domestic life. We very often rush to secular papers with damaging charges against ourselves and our own interests, which tend to varify the opinion of others about us, and helps lower the general public to understand that we are in any way defending crime doers among us, but that those who feel called upon to go to the secular presses should name their man or men, and not make sweeping charges against the entire race. We believe that any man or woman who is guilty of crime should be apprehended and punished, but we believe that we should learn to see good in oth- ```markdown ``` --- ers and believe them to be gentlemen and ladies until they are proven guilty of some crime by their peers. Just in proportion as we respect ourselves, we are apt to respect others. The rule is: "Do unto others as you would have them do to you." The Church has lost its power, it seems. If it has, it can be largely traced to the habit of gossip. The man or woman who scores the town with inflamed tongues, firing every home and every person against the other home and the other person, and then stand up in love feast or in general class, telling the church that they are christians and that they are doing the bidding of their Master in heaven, destroys the confidence of the outside world in the religion of Christ, and hence the church looses its power as a moral institution. The truth is, that Christians are disgusted with such practices and many of them sit in wonder with their mouths closed while these gossipers are ranting and shouting the praise of themselves; for certainly they are not praising God, but are astounding many of the humble Christians who are trying to live upright lives. The churches, many of them, have grown cold, lost as it were their first love, and hence are drags—a struggle for existence, while others through the efforts of their pastors, hard preaching, house to house canvass, are orging forward, but the work is tedious and is beset with great danger. It is not that the grace of God in instruments of clay has lost its power, but the grace is not in them, and hence the instrument has no power and is ineffective. Let us therefore lay aside every weight and the sins which doth so easily beset us and run the race with patience which is set before us, looking unto Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith. ENGLAND DEPENDS ON BLACK MEN London, England, March 4. Working in eight-hour shifts in the government arsenals on the quays are between 60,000 and 70,000 ebony-hued manufacturing ammunition with which the warriors at the front are defending the honor and glory of England. The sight is an interesting one. Those loyal blacks are straining every DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY.

They receive a crown and one-half per day, which is in American money $7.50. They come from the West and East Indies and their services in this difficult employment have been eminently satisfactory to the government officials. So interesting and variegated is their work that a moving picture concern has taken notice of it. Recently at Piccadilly more than one thousand feet of moving pictures was shown displaying the various departments in which these ebony-hued sons were at work doing their share towards defending the nation's glory. The work of these men has received much favorable comment in leading clubs and governmental departments. Referring to their efficient work, the Under Secretary of War recently made this comment: "If it were not for the faithful and untiring service of the ebony-hued subjects of Great Britian would long since have the offensive in this struggle for the preservation of our flag and honor." The high estimate placed upon the service of this groupe of African blood by the English government is in striking contrast with treatment accorded them in America. Notes On Racial Progress FURNISHED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Local Negro Business Leagues have been organized in Camden, N. J., Cleburne, Texas, Springfield, Mo., Anderson, S. C., Brinson, Ga., Ramer, Ala., Staunton, Va., Gainesville, Texas, and Mason, Tenn. The Oklahoma State Negro Bar Association met recently in Muskogee. E. L. Saddler was elected president for the current year. It is reported that N. H. Jeltz, a colored farmer of Abbyville, Kansas, harvested 6,000 bushels of wheat this year and sold 4,200 bushels at $1.54. The Tailors and Consumers' Cooperative Company has been organized at Mound Bayou, Miss. This company proposes to conduct a garment manufacturing business. A Negro Commercial Museum has been established at Wilberforce University. The late William Harmon of Hagerstown, Md., left an estate valued at $75,000.00. He began as a Pullman porter. To preserve the history of the Negro race and present it in a national and systematic manner is the purpose of the Afro-American History Story-Telling Association recently organized in Washington, D. C. The stockholders of the Kaw Valley Truck Farm Company held their annual meeting recently. The company owns 105 acres of land near Kansas City, Kansas, and according to H. P. Ewing the promoter and manager, its object is to furnish productive employment to the Negroes who wish to leave the congested city conditions. The Union Mutual Association with home office at Atlanta, Ga., has been combined with and absorbed by the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Association, of which A.F. Herndon is President, and T. K. Gibson, Secretary. These two companies are among the oldest and largest in the state and the combined organization will represent one of the strongest enterprises conducted by the race. WHITES IGNORANT OF BLACKS. Dr. Iyenaga, the well-known Japanese educator, formerly of the University of Chicago, stated our views fully when he said that "Inequality among races is indisputable, but in justice comes when the color of the skin is made the criterion of equality." The doctor uttered 'another truth when he said that the "best cure for race prejudice is knowledge and association." Our southern friends often say that they know the colored man better than anyone else; in this assertion many of them are badly mistaken. They know the colored man only on the surface. They know them only as they appear on the streets and in public places, and as a general thing the impression of the bad ones is more lasting on them and they judge the others thereby. Our southern friends judge us only by the shacks in which a large number of our people live, etc. They pay no attention to our modern homes, and less to the home life of the better class of our people. They do not visit our well-conducted churches and never hear the ministers of the gospel. They do not know the number of our men in business, nor of the work of uplift in which they are engaged. From the fact that they are ignorant of these things, they are not in a position to qualify as judges for our people. To cure any antipathy that they may have toward us and lighten the passion of prejudice, they should do as the Japanese educator advised, and that is to obtain a better knowledge of us. We admire another assertion of this educator when he said: "We Japanese beg for no grace, but will stand on our merit."—Ex. New York, March 10. President Wilson has named a white Democrat to succeed Mr. Charles W. Anderson, who for years has filled the office of Collector of Internaal Revenue, with signal ability. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Jacksonville, Fla., March 8.— Hundreds of colored hotel men who came here at the beginning of the winter season are stranded having failed to find employment. This has been the tightest season ever experienced in these parts. Thousands are unemployed and many are actually suffering. special meeting will be held in every locality at which physicians and other competent persons will instruct the people how to combat this scourge of the race. 600,000 Negroes of Present Population Will Die of Consumption It is estimated that of the ten million Negroes now living in the Dayton, O., March 9.—Thaddeus W. Wheeler has been appointed a stock clerk at the city garage. He is the first colored man to be given a political appointment under the new form of government. Mr. Wheeler, who was graduated from the Steele High School in June, 1900, is a member of one of the oldest families in this city. In 1903 he was named as deputy clerk of the Common Pleas and Circuit courts under Charles W. Bieser and renamed under John C. Good in 1906. He had charge of filing of coroner's inquest reports, naturalization of aliens and pensioners, and was custodian of the vault, duties that he performed with much credit to himself. He once attended the Y. M. C. A night school under C. L. Billman. Since 1909 he has been engaged in the real estate business. The nomination of John F. Haley, of Honolulu, to be Collector of Internal Revenue for the District of Hawaii, which was sent to the Senate a few days ago by President Wilson, means the retirement from that post of Mr. Charles A. Cottrill, of Toledo, O., appointed by President Taft. Mr. Cottrill has made an excellent official and made himself well-liked by the people of Hawaii, many of whom urged his retention. The fortunes of politics and a sentiment for the appointment of a "local man" are regarded as the reasons for the change. Mr. Cottrill will return to this country as soon as his successor is confirmed and can arrange for the transfer of the office. COMBAT THE MONSTER: CONSUMPTION One of the things that the National Negro Health Week, March 21st to 27th, is intended to do is to spread information concerning how it is possible to keep from having consumption. For a long time it was supposed that consumption was inherited and incurable. It is hoped, therefore, that in connection with Health Week, NO 30 special meeting will be held in every locality at which physicians and other competent persons will instruct the people how to combat this scourge of the race. 600-000 Negroes of Present Penula 600,000 Negroes of Present Population Will Die of Consumption It is estimated that of the ten million Negroes now living in the United States, six hundred thousand, out of every one hundred, will die of consumption. On the other hand, it is estimated that one-fourth of these six hundred thousand, can by means of preventive methods be saved. HELP US SAVE THIS 150,000 Many things are necessary to overcome this monster, for consumption is a disease of poverty and is spread by bad houses, insanitary methods of life, carelessness and excesses. But of all things that help to overcome consump im nothing is so important as abundant fresh air. Do you sleep in a room where you keep the windows tightly closed in cold weather? Do you keep out fresh air because it may "chill" you? Do you work in a room or a shop where the air cannot enter? If so, you are hazarding your life and inviting death. Open your windows and keep them open at all times, especially during the hours of sleep! If you have not cover enough to keep you warm in cold weather, save money and buy it, for ample cover, permitting you to sleep with your windows open will do more for your good health than all the medicine you buy. If you want to live and to keep from having consumption, live with your windows open! (Signed) BOOKER T. WASHINGTON President, National Negro Business League. Tuskegee Inst., Ala., March 8. For Clergymen Only. Ministers would meet with more success If they knew as much about this world as they think they know about the next.-Lippincott's. Church, State and Poor. A book on "The Church, the State and the Poor" has been written by an English vicar. The book is comprehensive, tracing the subject of preference days. The author regrets that during the growth of collectivism, under which he classifies what is called "Christian socialism," the church has trusted too much to the state to better the conditions among the poor. Now there is a revival of interest in the welfare of the poor on the part of the church. The writer's contention is that a firm belief in the Christian creed is the only inspiration and guide to any effort to solve "the social problem."

AFHO-AMERICAN CULLINGS If permanent results are to be se- cured, the Negro who actually culti- vates the land must be reached and trained into growing a good producing crop. How can this be done? My an- swer would be, by putting a Negro farm demonstration agent into every county of the South where there is any considerable number of Negro farm- ers, This Negro demonstration agent should be a man of good common sense. He should be a man who knows the characteristics of the col- ored people, who knows how to reach them in and through their societies, their churches and their various or- ganizations of one kind and another. He should be d man required to travel from one farm to another throughout the country training the Negro farmer how to produce a food crop. Wherever these demonstration agents have al- ready been at work in the South they have done work which has been most helpful and commendable. If this important work is to be done, no time should be lost in selecting these demonstration agents. The cost should not be large. Either through county appropriations or from some part of the state funds appropriated for agricultural purposes, a portion of the money for the salary perhaps could be provided. Appropriations are also being made by the United States gov- ernment to encourage and promote various kinds of agricultural work, Some part of this money, I feel sure, might be secured from the Smith- Lever fund, or from the United States demonstration fund _ administered through Dr. Bradford Knapp. While 1 am not in position to suggest just where the money may be secured, I think if an earnest effort is made some portion of it can be secured from some of the funds or agencies here men- tioned—Booker T. Washington. On the night of Lincoln's birthday, February 12, at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, in Bthi- cal culture hall, New York city, Goy- ernor Whitman of New York state made an address and awarded the Spingarn medal. This medal, which is of gold, valued at $100, is offered an- nually by Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chair- man of the board of directors of the National association, to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of ele- vated or honorable human endeavor, whether that fleld be intellectual, spir- itual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other. ‘The medal is awarded for the first lime this year and the committee mak- ing the decision consists of Bishop John Hurst, chairman; ex-President Taft, John Hope, president of More: house college; Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Jeanes and Slater funds, and Oswold Garrison Villiard, president of the New York Evening post company. In addition to Governor Whitman there were other distinguished speak- ers at the meeting on February 12: Moorfield Storey, the well-known at- torney of Boston and president of the National association; Prof. William Pickens of Wiley university; Mirza Ali Kuli Kahn, representative of Per- sia to the United States, and Lincoln Bates, Jr, who told of racial prog ress in South America. Mr. Villiard presided. In commemoration of the memory of Frederick A. Douglass and John M. Langston, a large number of Negro residents of Washington attended the meeting of the Bethel Literary and Historical association of Metropolitan A.M.

Napier of Nashville, ‘Tenn. son-inday of the latter, and an address dealing with the achievements and character of both was given by John C.

Smith and Maxfield. Frank Willlams recited an original poem entitled “Fifty Years of Freedom.” Music was furnished by the B. Azalia Hackley chorus, James A.

The oldest Negro publishing house in the country is operated by the Af- rican Episcopal church at 361 Pine street, Philadelphia. Here all the hymn books, church diciplines and other church Mterature are published. Here, since 1852, the Christian Re- corder, the oldest Negro newspaper in existence, has been published. Here, since 1882, the oldest Negro magazine, the A. M. E. Review, also has been published. Here many of the books written by Negroes have been printed. The largest and without doubt best equipped Negro publishing house is also operated by this church. It is the Sunday School Union at Nashville, which supplies nearly 300,000 Negro children with their Sunday school lit- erature, taking nearly 50 persons to do the work. This literature is writ- ten, printed and distributed by Ne- groes. Connected with this depart- ment is a Sunday school journal called The Young Allenite, a young people's journal called the Allen En- deavorer and a weekly paper, the Southern Christian Recorder. The church started 100 years ago, with less than 400 members; it now has three-quarters, of a million; and raises annually about $4,000,000. Its property is worth $12,000,000. It has over 6,000 churches and 7,500 preach- ers, Its general financial scheme is based upon a tax of $1 for each mem- ber. This goes to pay the salaries of bishops, general officers, pensions of widows, retired bishops, orphans, su- perannuated preachers, etc. Other de- partments are church extension, young people's, the Western Christian Re- corder, To rationalize education througnout the country has been and is the pur- pose of those making for the nation’s progress. As the great majority of men are engaged today in constructive ‘work—that industrial, technical, com- mercial and institutions of training for that are growing in number every- where the note of progress is decided. ‘The rationalization of the educational ‘system for the Negro should find co- operative action now among. intelli- ‘gent people of both races. "Just as the Boston School of Tech- nology initiated in the country the practical form of education for which the nation’s inventive and construc- tive forces made demand; just as the tidal wave bringing industrial training to the South came to save a social inertia, as well as ane educa- tional, Hampton institute, Virginia, has come as the prophet of that spirit of educational light which the Negro race may look to as their star of hope ‘and guide to progress. Hampton institute trains men and women to lead the men and women of their race in avenues of useful- ness. It inculeates the building up of the racial standards which home the basic principles, and the watchword of the school I would define as racial responsibility—the responsibility not only of individual development, but of the race's development, Ammonia bombs are being used in some of the national forests in Ameri. ca to extinguish forest fires, especially in connection wYth brush fires, where the fire fighters cannot get near enough to the burning area to beat out the flames. ‘Too many men are expecting to catch a ride on the road to success.— Albany Journal. According to the preliminary report of the census bureau, just published, the colored population of the country has been making a good record of progress, measured by the returns of the decade with which development it deals. They have increased in num- ber, though at a much lower rate than the native whites, and far below the record of the foreign born whites. In the ten year period the total value of the farm property operated by Ne- groes has more than doubled and now exceeds very considerably $1,000,000,- 000. But perhaps the most encourag: ing gain of all is the advance that has been made in education, In 1910 more than 57 per cent of the blacks were reported as illiterate. ‘That has now been reduced to a little over 30 per cent.

WORK CALLED FOR AND DELIVERED 2549 Washington Avenue Denver, Colorado Washington, March 18.—Six diplo- matic notes were made public by the State Department, constituting the entire correspondence of the last few weeks between the United States and Germany, and between the United States and Great Britain and France relative to the abandonment of sub- Marine attacks on merchant ships, the shipment of conditional contraband and foodstuffs to civilians in a bellig erent country, the use of neutral flags by belligerent merchantmen, the re- moval of mines, and the proclamation of a virtual blockade by the allies against Germany. Sir Edward Grey’s reply on the pro hibition imposed upon foodstuffs des: tined for Germany, in which for the first time Great Britain definitely an nounces her intention to “establish a blockade,” have again brought diplo matic questions to the front, and the situation holds grave possibilities. ‘The communications revealed that the United States government, real izing the difficulties of maintain ing an effective blockade by @ close guard of an enemy coast on account of the newly-developed activ. ity of submarines, asked that “a radi us of activity” be defined. Great Brit ain and France replied with the an- nouncement that the operations ot blockade would not be conducted “out side of European waters including the Mediterranean.” , ‘The definition of a “radius of activ. ity” for the allied fleet in European waters,” including the Mediterranean, is the first intimation of the geograph ical limits of the blockade. Its limite were not given more exactly, the allies claim, because Germany was equally indefinjte in proclaiming all the waters surrounding Great Britain and Ireland a “war zone.” Spring Campaign Opens.

The Negro is the friend of capitalists.

They either do not understand our attitude toward them, or to say the least, do not appreciate it, except when their person or property is in danger, then they fall back on the Negro for help. If capital could be made to see our loyalty to their interest, they would open more doors for our boys and girls in the time of peace in order that the Negro could better protect them in the time of war. The Negro finds but few friends with the middle class, as they do not have money to organize and promote great enterprises or build factories or construct railroads and street car systems, which are a benefit to the public and the poor especially, as these utility corporations furnish him cheap and rapid transportation to the suberbs, where the poor can buy property reasonable and watch it grow in value and convenience because of the advantages of a good street car system. The Tramway has done more for Denver's prosperity than perhaps any other agency in the city of Denver. The Negroes' only plea is that the corporations shall remember that the colored brother is a friend and not a foe and that they ought to be suitably rewarded for their services and loyalty to their interests.

Personal habits may crystalize into character, but character is an individual and not a public property. To be true a number of persons of similar character in a community may give the community the appearance of a certain type or class and thus cause the reputation or standing of the entire locality to be affected. Indeed this seems to be the case in Denver at the present time. If persons of uncertain character predominate, then the reputation of the whole community takes on a certain flexibility, but after all a sharp distinction ought to be made between the habits of a people which are purely personal, and the habits which interfere with the rights of another. While every one would be glad to see the community lifted up in their personal tone, yet no one feels like invoking the legislature to pass upon our private morals. The wise-acres of Battle Creek may be all right in what they allege against coffee drinking, but when people call coffee drinkers immoral and sinners, they attack the morals of many who up to date have been considered among our noblest and best men and women. To be a crank is not quite the same thing as being moral, although some cranks labor under this delusion. What we need to discern is that right distinctions are necessary to differentiate those customs that offend good society and those that simply affect ourselves and satisfy our own tastes. ```markdown ``` SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES.

The Negro Year Book for 1915 is out with Mr. J. H. Doniphon as sole agent for Denver. It is a pamphlet of 443 pages and is brimful of facts about the race which for our people to know is for them to be inspired and helped. Another has said: "We hate the man we do not know; to know one thoroughly is to admire him." Can it be that a number of our people are disloyal to the race and are trying to get away from it, because they know so little about it? I would recommend the Negro Year Book for 1915 as an antidote for race disloyalty among us. Secure a copy, read it thoroughly before your children, and note the result. spoken, suffered again all the painful feelings and succeeded in spoiling the day, unfitting yourself for your day's work and extracting all happiness from your heart. Are you going to continue it all day today and by so doing waste more of your life in the foolish if not insane habit of tormenting yourself because someone or something has made you unhappy in the past? That thought has no right in your mind. You may think you cannot stop it, but you can, as it is only a bad habit into which you have fallen. You must break it or it will break you. You must get the mastery of your own mind and the control of your own thoughts. This is the hardest battle you will ever have to fight. To be a slave to unpleasant thoughts is the worst kind of bondage. Sometimes it leads to insanity. But to be able to think on any subject you please places your happiness in your own hand and gives you a sense of power and independence which is not only delightful to realize, but which enables you to develop your character and shape your life according to your own choice. When beginning this work one should never shut himself in a room alone to brood or weep over his sorrow, but should do those things which will make him forget it. One should live in the open air as much as possible, get acquainted with the birds, watch the clouds, study the flowers, talk to the streams or trees and make companions of the wonderful works of the loving Father. This will help one out of one's self into the broader and sweeter life which they live. If one cannot do this one should have a book at hand and compel himself to read a few lines or a few verses, should visit a friend, do some work that demands close attention, or study a picture. Whenever the hateful, tormenting thought presents itself turn your back on it and your attention to something else till you can say to it, "Not at home." tractive and very effective form; but, like many others of his profession, he was not audible. More care should be exercised by the state to protect a knowledge-seeking public from annoyances of this sort. Time and time again, in high school and college lecture halls, in churches and auditoriums, I have come to listen to words of wisdom from "silver tongues," but on account of the speaker's lack of ability to declaim distinctly I have left as wise as when I entered, with a lost evening to my score. Nowadays tradesmen, such as plumbers, bricklayers and carpenters, must pass through a period of apprenticeship before they are passed upon as efficient. Doctors, lawyers and others are examined by public boards as to fitness in their respective professions. Public speakers can wield a commanding influence and are a great power for good if they are capable of talking distinctly and audibly. Why not examine public speakers as to their oratorical fitness before allowing them to address people as professional lecturers and public speakers? It might save patience and time and possibly would guarantee an evening of real pleasure where torture and discomfiture are now found. his caller or remain standing? In metropolitan office life the chair beside the desk of the business head is getting farther away. In the great office rooms of men of affairs the chairs may be arranged along the walls fifteen feet away. They are heavy and not easily drawn save by an able-bodied janitor. To talk for a few minutes with the business head the caller must remain standing. The arrangement of the office furniture demands this. Why should the office head remain seated? Observations in such an office will show that often this busy business head of affairs sits at his desk wearing his hat while almost every caller removes his hat the moment he is shown through the door into the private office. Why should this caller stand with his hat off, talking with an office chief who sits with his hat on? Long ago the average woman guest in a friend's house ceased to rise when her hostess receives a caller and brings the caller in for an introduction. She sits at 180 pounds net, occasionally offering some word or grunt of something indicating a trace of apology for the omission. Why not adopt for men and women alike an innovation consisting of a plain, backless chair, tightly strapped in place and worn as a recognized article of dress? and my last word after her good-by kiss, which she never forgets, is, "Be a good girl and mind your teacher." We always have fruit of some kind in the house and the prettiest piece always goes to her teacher. My girl has attended school five years and is now getting ready for sixth grade. There is not one of the teachers she has had that she did not love dearly and she thinks the world of them to this day. But I know roommates of hers who are always in some trouble and who have told me that they did not like their teacher, as she was too fresh or for some equally convincing reason. I certainly believe the school teacher is the most patient being of any women in Chicago, and I am quite certain that if mothers would go to visit the teachers of their children once in a while it would make them feel more friendly toward them and not like enemies, as so many seem to feel. When I look about and see some of the mothers and their children, the Chicago public school teacher has my sympathy. Control One's Thoughts for Sweeter Life By S.

An orange salad is somewhat out of the usual, but may not be generally relished. To prepare it, peel a ripe orange thoroughly, cut it in thin slices, and remove the pips. Sprinkle each slice with salt and pepper, and then add four or five drops each of good salad oil and vinegar on each piece. A little cayenne pepper is an improvement. Orange Cookies.—Beat to a cream half a cupful of butter, add one cupful granulated sugar, grated rind of one orange, one egg beaten light, a quarter cupful of orange juice, two cupfuls or more of flour and four level teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Roll into a sheet, cut into shapes, set into a baking pan, dredge with granulated sugar and bake in a moderate oven. Orange Jelly.—A recipe for orange jelly comes from the domestic science department of the University of California, that land of oranges. It should be of interest to many women. Try it: 1. To one dozen small oranges, take two lemons. For large oranges take three lemons. If the oranges are sour, no lemons will be necessary. Oranges are not so apt to be bitter after the middle part of the season as those taken at the first part of the season. Slice the oranges and lemons without peeling. 2. Place the sliced fruit in a stew pan and add barely enough water to cover. 3. Bring to boiling and boil very slowly for 40 to 60 minutes. 4. Press the heated juice through a heavy cloth to get rid of most of the particles. 5. Heat the juice to boiling and as soon as it reaches boiling, take it off the fire and let it stand in a quiet place over night. 6. Decant off the clear liquid and filter and strain the sediment left in the vessel through a heavy flannel. 7. Place the filtered liquid and the decanted liquid together and to each pint of liquid add one and one-fourth to one and one-half pints of sugar. Most juice will make a jelly with the smaller amount of sugar, while some requires the higher amount. 8. Heat to boiling. Boil slowly and skim. 9. Pour into glasses. 10. Cover with melted paraffin as in ordinary jelly making. English Stuffed Peppers. Remove the stems, cut five green peppers in two lengthwise and take out the insides. Put the shell in boiling water, let them cook five minutes, then throw them into cold water. Make a stuffing in the proportion of one cupful of bread crumbs soaked in stock to one cupful of chopped meat; season with one teaspoonful of onion juice, one-quarter of a spoonful each of savory and thyme, a half-teaspoonful of salt and dash of pepper. Drain the shells and fill them heaping full with the stuffing. Sprinkle the top with a few crumbs browned in butter and put bits of butter over them. Place the half peppers in a deep earthen dish, pour a half cupful of stock around them and bake in a moderate oven a half hour. Serve the peppers directly from the oven in the same dish in which they are baked. Dried Lima Bean Puree. Let one and a half cupfuls dried lima beans soak over night in cold water. Wash and rinse, cover with boiling water and let simmer until tender and the water is reduced to barely enough to keep the beans from burning. Mash the beans and press them through a sieve. Add one-fourth cupful butter, a teaspoonful or more of salt, a dash of black pepper, and, if needed a little cream. Beat until light and fluffy. Put through pastry bag. Excellent Nut Bread. Two cupfuls of white flour (sifted), two cupfuls of graham or entire wheat flour (sifted if one chooses), one-half cup of New Orleans molasses, little salt, two cupfuls of milk or water, one cupful of walnut meats (cut up fine), one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in milk, about two tablespoonfuls melted butter. Let raise 20 minutes. Bake about one hour in moderate oven. Chocolate Caramels. One cupful sweet milk, one cupful of molasses, half cupful of sugar, half cupful of grated chocolate, piece of butter the size of a walnut; stir constantly and let it boll until it is thick; then turn it out on buttered plates, and when it begins to stiffen mark it in squares, so that it will break readily when cold. Flavor with vanilla. Use Waxed Paper. Waxed paper, such as comes inside cracker boxes, is splendid to line cake pans which are a trifle thin. Cut pieces to fit, then flour them, pour in the batter, stand the hot pans after baking on a wet cloth for five minutes. The cakes will drop out when inverted. Ginger Wine. Four pounds loaf sugar, one pound brown sugar, five quarts water; boil 45 minutes, cool and add 25-cent bottle of ginger essence. THE KITCHEN CABINET Ah, passing few are they who speak. Wild stormy month! in praise of thee: Yet though thy winds are loud and bleak These are welcome month to me Thou art a welcome month to me. GOOD THINGS FOR GUESTS. A delicious little hot dish to prepare for a friend is: Tomato Rarebit. —Put a table- spoonful of butter into a saucepan and when bubbling hot add a table- spoonful of flour; when smooth, add a cupful of tomato Tomato Rarebit. —Put a table-spoonful of butter into a saucepan and when bubbling hot add a table-spoonful of flour; when smooth, add a cupful of tomato puree (strained tomato). Cook for a few minutes until smooth, then add a half cupful of grated cheese, and when melted, a half cupful of milk, mixed with a beaten egg. Season well and serve on salted wafers. Salted Sandwiches.—Blanch two ounces of almonds and cut in shreds lengthwise. Saute in a tablespoonful of butter until brown. Mix two tablespoonfuls of cucumber pickles chopped, one tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce and one of chutney, with a few grains of salt. Add to the almonds and cook three minutes, stirring constantly. Mash a cream cheese and season with salt and paprika. Spread unsweetened crackers with the cheese and nuts. Pineapple Sponge.—Beat the yolks of three eggs and add the grated rind of one lemon with the juice, a half cupful of sugar and a few grains at salt. Cook in a double boiler, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from the heat and add two-thirds of a cupful of pineapple and one and a half tablespoonfuls of gelatin, which has been soaked fifteen minutes in three tablespoonfuls of cold water. Set the pan in iced water and when the mixture begins to thicken add one-half cupful of heavy cream beaten stiff and the whites of three eggs beaten stiff. Turn into a fancy mold which has been dipped in cold water and chill thoroughly. Garnish with pineapple and candied cherries. I seem cruel to you and too much addicted to gluttony, when I beat my cook for sending up a bad dinner. If that appears to you too trifling, a say for what cause you would have a cook flogged - Martial's Epigrams. SOME WHOLESOME SOUPS A dish of hot soup is especially gratifying on a cold night or for the beginning of a meal. One should have on hand a few canned soups which may be quickly served when the need arises. Such soups are more expensive than the average housewife feels she can use often, but it is wise to have such a reserve. beginning of a meal. One should have on hand a few canned soups which may be quickly served when the need arises. Such soups are more expensive than the average housewife feels she can use often, but it is wise to have such a reserve. The following is a dish which will delight the eye as well as the palate and one which may be used on state occasions for company: Take two cans of clams or two quarts of fresh ones if you are fortunate enough to procure them. Add enough water to make four cupfuls of liquid. Cook three tablespoonfuls of butter until brown; add three and a half tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until smooth. Pour on gradually the clam water and simmer 20 minutes. Season with salt and paprika, and just before serving add a cupful of rich milk or thin cream. Vegetable Soup.—Wash and scrape a small carrot, cut it in quarters lengthwise and then in thin slices. Wash and pare and cut a turnip in the same sized pieces. Prepare two good-sized potatoes (there should be a cupful and a half of diced potatoes) and a half cupful of celery. Peel and slice one-half onion. Mix all the vegetables except the potatoes and cook in four tablespoonfuls of hot fat, stirring constantly. Add the potatoes; cover and cook two minutes, then add one quart of fresh boiling water and simmer an hour. Beat with a spoon to make smooth and serve with a bit of parsley butter on top of each soup dish. Season well before taking up. Cream of Tomato Soup.—Cook a half can of tomatoes with four cloves, a slice of onion and two tablespoonfuls of chopped green pepper, which has been cooked five minutes in a tablespoonful of butter and a teaspoonful of sugar. Season with salt and red pepper. Strain after cooking 15 minutes and add a fourth of a teaspoonful of soda, then pour over a quart of rich milk. Bind with four tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter, cooked together. Walking Championship. The amateur record for a ten-mile walk is held by G. E. Larner, who covered the distance in 1 hour, 15 minutes, 57 2-5 seconds, in London, Eng., on July 17, 1908. The professional record was made by J. W. Raby, at Lillie Bridge, Eng., on December 3, 1883, his time being 1 hour, 14 minutes, 45 seconds. The American record is held by D. A. Driscoll, who covered the distance in 1 hour, 17 minutes, $53\frac{1}{2}$ seconds in New York, on February 1, 1881.

The dispatching of Secretary Lane for in- out and arrangements for the dinner all completed, when Secretary Daniels was obliged to leave town on official business. Mrs. Daniels called up Mr. Bryan, secretary of state, and told him her predicament and asked him if he would not play the part of host for her. His reply was most disconcerting, for he confessed that not only would it be impossible for him to come, though he had already accepted the invitation, but that it was going to be his painful duty to take her guest of honor off to the White House. Other regrets followed, and at last on the night of the dinner only three guests arrived and they had to leave after the second course, and Mrs. Daniels, who is, by the way, the soul of hospitality, found herself not only hostess, but the whole company at her dinner table. Beautiful Pottery From a Valley in New Mexico N the latest publication of the Smithsonian institution Dr. J. Walter Fewkes of the bureau of American ethnology has described and figured a collection of beautiful pottery from the Mimbres valley of New Merico dating back to descendants and as there are no historical records concerning them, it is necessary to rely on a study of the archeological remains for knowledge of their culture. The early dwellers of this land were ignorant of writing, although they cut on the rocks pictures or pictographs, many of which occur in the Mimbres valley near the sites of old ruins. The animal and human figures painted on the pottery bowls are very realistic, and remain today practically little changed in design and color even after the lapse of centuries. The art shown in these figures was well advanced; the drawings represent human figures, although there are many mammals, fish and birds. The delineations of the birds are especially true to nature, and at the same time quite realistic, though somewhat conventional. Geometric designs as well as symbols are characteristic and highly instructive. One of the bowls collected by Doctor Fewkes shows three hunters following a deer, another depicts a hunter with a curved stick, evidently an archaic weapon resembling the throwing stick. The stone tobacco pipes of the Mimbres are tubular in form like the cloudblowers used in certain Pueblo Indian ceremonies. They are made of stone and shaped like our cigar holders. By sympathetic magic a cloud of smoke resembles a rain cloud, and the creation of the former ceremonially brings rain. A priest using the cloud-blower is illustrated on the interior of one of the painted bowls. The stone idols or fetiches collected in the Mimbres valley have the form of frogs, bears and mountain lions, and are similar to those found in ancient ruins in Arizona. Wiley Boy Never Tasted Candy; Doesn't Want To Wiley Boy Never Tasted Candy; Doesn't Want To THERE is a little boy in Washington, the son of one of the best-known men in the United States, who has never tasted candy, ice cream or cake. When he goes to parties, like all other little boys and girls he takes several of these delicacies. "Last May the Northern Pacific railway sent him an eight-pound fruit cake with two gold-plated candles on it," said Doctor Wiley. "I cut a small piece and asked him if he wanted some. "'No, daddy,' he said, 'cake not good for your boy.'" Doctor Wiley said he was strongly opposed to feeding children sweets, such as candy, ice cream and cake. "It makes children fat and it's a sin to be fat in babyhood. We get that way soon enough," added this big, stout man. When the boy attended his first party, Doctor Wiley said, he went along and when the other children had lunch he told his boy that sweets were not good for him and that he should not eat them. The lad agreed, said Doctor Wiley, and ate graham crackers instead. Uncle Sam Starts War Against Adulterated Time UNCLE SAM has launched a pure watch movement. Henceforth if your time is adulterated it is your own fault. Out at the bureau of standards a unique series of tests of watches has been going on for months, but the first results have just been tabulated. certificate to show whether your watch is in Class A, Class B, or whether it fails to class at all with the bureau's standards. Better yet, it soon will be possible, according to bureau plans, to ask for a certificate when you buy a watch. Manufacturers already are arranging to send higher-priced watches to the bureau of standards, so that they may use the certificates thus gained as an inducement to customers. But this is strictly a proletarian movement so far as Uncle Sam is concerned. He is not trying to improve the breed of watches at the expense of the average man who must have one, so his next step will to collect a number of cheaper watches and see how they stack up with the more expensive kind. Not only will Uncle Sam test your watch, but he has got out a circular, entitled "Measurement of Time and Tests of Timepieces," setting forth results of recent tests, and giving careful directions about the care of watches, their proper winding, carrying, adjustment, placing when not in use, and even suggesting which pocket is best to carry your watch in.

TO PREPARE AND USE VEGETABLES AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT EXPERTS GIVE RESULTS OF STUDY AND EXPERIMENT. COOKING GREENS AND ONIONS Particularly in the Spring Should Greens Be an Important Part of the Diet—Some Ways of Servi ing Onions. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Notwithstanding the low fuel value of the leaves and stalks of plants that are commonly served under the name "greens" the thrifty housewife recognizes the necessity of supplying her family with this type of food. Particularly in the early spring will she supply her family bountiful with them, as they are very welcome after the winter diet of canned goods, dried vegetables and root vegetables stored in the cellar. A double purpose may be accomplished in the country home by the use of wild greens, namely, freeing the ground from weeds and providing food. The common dandelion may be used in this way. The dandelion is cut close to the ground before the flower bud has expanded. When it is desired to root out the plant from a lawn, the entire root must be dug up; if simply the top is cut off, the dandelion grows again and in a larger head. The slightly bitter flavor of the leaves is not disagreeable. The roots furnish a bitter extract often used medicinally, particularly in the domestic medicine of early times. When cultivated, the dandelion is milder and more tender, and may be used as salad, as may the very young wild plants. Asparagus is a long-lived, easily cultivated delicacy, and it is strange that any farm should lack it. Many an asparagus bed does good service to the second and third generation of owners. It can be cooked in many ways. As is the case with most green vegetables its delicate flavor is spoiled by overcooking. It should be cooked only long enough to make it tender. Spinach is a favorite form of greens and is seen in city markets most of the year. It can be grown easily in any garden. A French proverb calls it the "broom of the stomach," and it appears to be richer in iron than most common foods. The tenderest leaves may be served raw as a salad. Lettuce makes an excellent "green" for cooking, although American housewives seldom realize this. In Europe the tougher or outer leaves of the lettuce are used in particular in this way. Care should be taken to see that such lettuce is not overcooked. Rhubarb is another plant in which the leafstalks are the useful portion, though it may from its use be classed as a fruit rather than as a vegetable. The various acids and other flavors it contains are acceptable in the early spring when it is at its best. Later in the season, when the stalks are tough and fibrous, the juice may be extracted for jelly making. Because it contains some oxalic acid the use of rhubarb is frequently forbidden to persons of gouty tendencies, or with certain other diseases. The Useful Onion Tribe. Onions owe their flavor to a volatile, oil-like compound containing sulphur. They are very succulent, but nevertheless supply some nutritive material. Many varieties are grown by American farmers and gardeners, and the crop is a very important one. The tiny pearl and button onions are convenient for salads or pickles or for the hint of flavor wanted where a large onion would be far too much. The white-skinned Egyptian onions are usually a satisfactory variety. There are many onions in the market which are strong in flavor and tough, and justify the prejudice which the undiscriminating have against all onions. In general, the greenish yellow and red types of onions, owing to their texture and flavor, are less satisfactory for cooking as a vegetable than those of lighter hue. Onion tops, like the stalks of wild leeks and chives, can also be used for flavoring, especially the sprouts that start when the bulbs have been kept in a warm room. Preparation of Onions. To prepare onions, peel under water so that the volatile bodies which affect the eyes may remain in the water and be kept from scattering. Where the onions are especially strong or liable to prove indigestible to anyone, they may be put, after peeling, into boiling water, to each quart of which one-fourth teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda has been added. After letting them stand in this water half an hour, drain and boil in plenty of salted water from one half to two hours, according to the nature of the variety in hand, changing the water if desirable. Often it is wise to take off one or two of the coarser layers next the outside skin and reserve them for flavoring soups, while a part of the tender succulent center may be reserved for a salad. In cutting up an onion for seasoning hold it with a fork so that the onion odor will not get on the hands Methods or Cooking The water in which onions are boiled will contain much flavor, and some of it may be reserved to flavor soups, either milk or stock. Any strong variety of onion is much improved for the table in spite of loss of nutritive value if the water is changed several times during the cooking process. Milk may be used as the medium for final cooking. Fried Onions. Fried onions may be prepared in either of two ways: (1) Saute sliced onion in olive oil, butter, or other fat until golden brown and tender; or (2) fry a few pieces at a time in deep fat, let them remain in the hot fat until they are crisp, like Saratoga potatoes, but do not let them become too brown. Use to garnish meats or add to soups, or combine with potatoes, stewed beans, or other vegetables. Stuffed Onions. Parboll large onions, remove centers without breaking other layers, and stuff with seasoned crumbs or meat, and bake until tender. Onion Custard. Cook onions until tender; drain thoroughly; pour over them a custard mixture made of one egg, one-half cupful milk, salt and pepper to taste, for each half pint of onions. Bake gently and serve as a vegetable. In southern Europe this dish is popular cooked in a crust, like small custard pies. Onion Souffle. Chop cooked onion fine or rub through a coarse strainer; combine with equal quantity soft bread crumbs or half as many dry ones; season with butter, salt, and pepper. For each half pint, beat in one egg yolk and fold in one stiffly beaten white. Put in small dishes or in onion cases and bake gently until firm. POTTERY WORK IS A PUZZLE Immense Bowls Made by Indians of the Amazon Valley Cannot Be Duplicated. An expert has declared there is no kiln or oven in this country, probably none in the world, large enough to bake the largest of the big pots discovered in the Amazon valley, samples of which are now on exhibition at the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania. The clay used also has aroused much curiosity. When a piece of the edge was clipped from one of the big bowls the material was shown to be a black, flinty substance. Undeniably it is clay, but of a kind never seen before by archeologists. Potters are astonished at its remarkable strength. The large bowls are less than half an inch thick, while some of the smaller ones, a foot or fourteen inches high, are as thin as a sheet of newspaper. An idea of their strength may be gained from the knowledge that they were transported about ten thousand miles before reaching the museum, and only a few of them were broken, though all were packed under difficulties in villages that knew nothing of packing breakables. The Indians who made these wonderful pots are as mysterious as their work. Doctor Farrabee wrote that they were absolutely devoid of any traditions, and had no idea of where they came from. It is known, however, that they cannot have been in Peru more than about five hundred years. The larger bowls give out a metallic sound when rapped. One not seeing the substance would say at first they were made of painted copper. Each of the two big pots would hold four or five tons. Schools for All Tastes The folk schools of Finland are particularly fine, with their cooking departments, gymnasiums, manual training and needlework. Every school has excellent bathing facilities, and the poorest children are fed at the schools. There are little zoological museums in most of the schools. There are so many varieties of schools, besides the folk schools, elementary and higher; there are lyeums, schools of forestry, of agriculture and of navigation, schools for training teachers, commercial schools, technical, music and art schools, etc., says the Christian Herald. There are three little garden schools in Finland, where boys as well as girls are taught cooking. "They must learn to cook what they grow," said one of the teachers. The dairy schools are particularly interesting, dairying comes second among the industries of Finland. The pupil must have worked for one year at a butter factory before he or she will be admitted to the school. Customs of the Bedouins Such pride has the Bedouin in his weapon that even in his leisure hours he sits fully armed, examining and cleaning each piece in turn, making himself accustomed to carrying their weight. From the time that he is eighteen years of age until he dies of old age he is more or less looking out for new wives. By law Mohammedans are never allowed to have more than four at the same time, but they easily evade this regulation by divorcing one, which means sending her back to her parents. This is often because she has borne him no souls, and it happens that the old sheiks almost always have young wives. Just as it is allowable with them to steal camels, so the young men help one another to steal wives from other tribes. Reparation.

Dickie Paid the Debt By Alvah Jordan Garth (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman) "I decline to take the responsibility." It was with decided firmness that Robert Gregory, mine manager, spoke. It was with resentful lips and a deep scowl that William Dale faced him. "Don't stand in your own light, Gregory," he uttered, and there was a hidden snarl in his tone. "I'm not thinking of that," declared the young manager freely. "My mind is with the men. You order the old shaft pierced. It cannot be tapped above the two hundred-foot level. There isn't a man in the gangs you could hire to go down Old Seven. They know that poisoned air, fire damp, sure death lie at the bottom of the abandoned shaft." "Oh, they always say that," retorted Dale irritably. "I don't ask them to go down Seven. I want the wall pierced so we can break through across it to the new lode." "Why not work around it in the regular way?" challenged Gregory. "And waste over ten thousand dollars!" "A dozen lives are worth more than that," suggested Gregory steadily. Dale lost all patience with him. He looked ugly and menacing as he asked with an angry catch in his voice: "Then you refuse to give the order to the men?" "Positively. Mr. Ransom, the president of the company, may do so—I will not take the responsibility." "But it is his expectancy to have the work accomplished by this time next week when he returns. He is bringing some capitalists with him. Your duty is clear—to put this work through, I fear," added Dale, as if he was pre- THE BIRD IS IN THE CAGE. "What am I Offered? senting a clinching argument, "hestitation on your part may lead to the loss of his confidence and—well, that also of his family." Gregory bowed with dignity and was silent, but he left the office fully aware of the significance of those last words. They referred to Miss Beatrice Ransom, daughter and heiress of the rich and powerful owner of the Blythesdale coal mines. The allusion had disturbed Gregory. As he proceeded on his way his brain was hard at work, seeking to devise some method of tapping the new vein without risk. There was a way and he had suggested it, but it involved two months' labor and considerable expense. On his way to the shaft house the young manager paused in front of one of the numerous wretched shacks that lined the road. A small poor crowd surrounded the place. In the front yard were a score or more of household articles, such as beds, a cupboard, chairs and tables. A little white-faced crippled child sat on a bench just outside of the door, her crutches by her side. Standing near her was a hollow-eyed man, apparently her father. His eyes were swollen with despair as he viewed the proceedings about him. "One of our workers, I remember him," soliloquized Gregory, becoming interested. "Oh, I see!" Tacked to a tree was a legal notice of eviction and the seizure of chattels for delinquent rent. This was a common occurrence at the mines. In this especial case, however, something in the pitiable helplessness of the little child and the forlorn bearing of the old man appealed strongly to the mine manager. "What do you say?" shouted the auctioneer, taking up a bird cage and swinging it within the sight of his audience. "Cage and bird. A canary. Looks like a singer. What am I offered?" The cage was of the commonest, its feathered occupant as neglected-looking and cheerless as its owners. "Oh, papa!" spoke the little girl in pleading, tearful tones, "don't let them sell poor dear Dickie!" Robert Gregory moved to the side of the old man. "Don't I know you?" he spoke quickly. "You put me on watch duty nights, sir," was the response, "but the old rheumatics laid me up. We came from the Dexter coal district when they shut down, and had no money. What you so kindly allowed me to earn here is all gone, and they're taking our poor belongings for rent." "I'll stop that," spoke Gregory firmly. "Don't cry, little one. You shan't lose your pet bird." Robert Gregory was as good as his word. Inside of five minutes the claim upon which the sale was based was paid out of his own pocket, the goods restored to the house, and he was more than embarrassed at the overwhelming gratitude of his poor pensioners. The little child had the bird out of its cage and was caressing it as if it were a petted child. "You don't know about Dickie," explained the old man. "He's a hero, he is, and an expert. Down at the Dexter mines twice we sent him into the shafts, and twice he came out, staggered and nearly gone. We knew what that meant, sir—fire damp." A quick idea came to the mind of Gregory. He had read once of those trained mine birds. For some time he plied the old man with questions regarding the capabilities of the feathered pet. "Can he do it!" exclaimed the old man—"could he tell how things are in the old shaft Seven? Why, sir. I'll be glad to try the experiment." Two hours later a dozen curious miners watched a proceeding unique and mystifying to their point of view. Old John Dean had not boasted vainly of Dickie and his clever abilities. The little bird stood on his finger, head on one side, watching him as if listening to an understood mandate as a board was pulled away from the shaft top. Then, with a bright cheep Dickie plunged straight down into the gloom and darkness. Five minutes, ten minutes—no token of the return of the messenger. Fifteen minutes! John Dean looked grave and anxious. Then a great wave of excitement passed over the gathered throng as there fluttered into view a wavering splash of yellow—Dickie. The bird barely got through the aperture. Its head drooped, its wings folded. It sank, a helpless lump, to the ground. Its eyes moved once or twice, it straightened out rigid. "It's death down there," spoke John Dean in a hoarse suppressed tone. "Poor Dickie—a hero to the last!" At daybreak the next morning the warning of the expert little pet bore fruit. Old Shaft Seven was belching out smoke, the fire damp had begun its dread work. "If we had pierced that wall, where would the new levels be now?" was the pertinent question Robert Gregory gravely put to Mr. Dale. And the latter bowed his head, put out a trembling hand, and in his heart was a great thankfulness. In a manner utilitarian, too, the fire damp cleared the way to safe progress in the new work. Robert Gregory did not lose his prestige with his employer. Nor did he lose the peerless Beatrice. As to the mine owner, he surpassed even Gregory is providing the Dean family a new home with permanent comforts. Little Nellie丹 mourned the loss of her beloved pet. There was that which turned her sorrow into proud, peaceful calm, however. Near the mouth of old shaft Seven a modest granite block of stone was placed, bearing the simple and touching inscription: "Sacred to the Memory of Dickie—a Bird." MR. BARRIE IN THE CHAIR How Popular Scotch Author Served as Chairman of a Burns Celebration. There is only one recorded instance of Sir J. M. Barrie's acting as chairman of a public meeting. In the Century Magazine John D. Williams has recently told the story to the American public. It was on the occasion of a Burns celebration. Barrie took the chair as presiding officer and then kept to it firmly. Throughout the entire proceedings he did not utter a single word, but remained as if glued to the horribly conspicuous chair, loathing his predicament, but inwardly amused at the expressions on the faces of all about him, which made dismally clear the fact that he was a failure as a presiding officer. When the meeting was almost half finished Barrie took advantage of a talkative group in front of him and quietly stole away before anyone had a chance to miss him. But the next week a well-known Saturday review printed a satirical article called "Mr. Barrie in the Chair." The thing was simply withering in its ironical account of the dumb presiding officer who eventually fled, leaving a meeting to preside over itself. The greatest regret was naturally expressed by those who had persuaded Barrie to come to the Burns celebration, and among his friends tremendous indignation was felt and vented. But some day they will know, if they have not already found out, that the article was written by Barrie himself! CAUSES OF INTESTINAL TROUBLE An intimate knowledge of the manner in which profound changes in the mechanism of the gastro-intestinal tract may easily come about at a very early age is of the greatest importance to every person desirous of endowing his offspring with the fundamentals of a happy and successful life. To all such persons an amount of study equivalent at least to that required of the average individual in order to attain the knowledge and technic necessary to fit him to operate a sewing machine or an automobile intelligently, and without risk of ruining the machine because of lack of that required knowledge, is most earnestly recommended. It is argued by many that such knowledge is not necessary because natural instincts are alleged to be a sufficient guide. But this is not true, for humanity's environment has changed more during the last 50 years than during the previous 299,950 years of its probable minimum existence, and "instincts" do not count—we have not sufficient time to develop "instincts" required by existing conditions, and must, therefore, try to use reason instead. The recommended information may easily be secured from a short study of the pictures and diagrams contained in any standard work on anatomy, such as may be found in practically every public library, or from anatomical charts in general. Particular attention is called to the large intestine comprising the cecum, the colon, the sigmoid flexure and the rectum. The cecum is the blind pouch or sac in which the large intestine begins and into which the ilium, or small intestine, opens from one side. The vermiform (wormlike) appendix is attached to the cecum, and this is the little body which makes us so much trouble under the name of appendicitis. The cecum constitutes a sort of cesspool or catch basin low down in the right abdominal cavity, and from it, running up the right side, rises the ascending colon. Turning at a right angle, the ascending colon becomes the transverse colon, extending straight across the upper abdominal cavity to the left side, where it again turns and becomes the descending colon, following down the left side to the left lower abdominal cavity, where it once more turns, forming a loop known as the sigmoid flexure, which joins the rectum. Every human animal still comes into the world a quadruped, a four-footed animal, and a struggle extending over fourteen to twenty months is required of every individual before the physical development required for the general mechanical mastery of gravitation and the idea are attained whereby we are able to assume the vertical and walk in the upright position. But it is a grave error to assume that the attainment of the ability to overcome gravity ends the struggle, because it does not. Gravity is man's implacable enemy; it is persistently in operation tending to drag him down. With this idea firmly fixed in mind investigation makes it very clear that there are at least six points in the large intestine alone where the ordinary mechanical laws may easily produce serious physical changes whenever there is the least tendency toward enervation. The first point is in the cecum, which may relax and sag under gravitational pull in any weakened physical state. The second is at the point where the ascending colon turns and becomes the transverse colon. Functional obstruction similar to that resulting from a sharp bend in a water hose is not uncommon at this point. Sagging of the transverse colon in the middle, forming a festoon, a deep curve instead of a straight line across the abdomen, constitutes the third point. The downward turn of the transverse colon into the descending colon constitutes the fourth point, which obviously must be more likely to kink the greater the degree of sag in the transverse colon. The fifth and sixth points are in the turns of the sigmoid flexure, between the descending colon and the rectum. Under the conditions of modern industrialism the trunk of the body is maintained in the erect position, either standing or sitting, practically from the time we rise in the morning until we go to bed at night, and all the time the trunk is erect gravity is at work pulling the intestinal organs down and out of position. This tendency to drop or sag must very obviously be exaggerated by any condition of weakness, and therefore, because any food supply not of maternal origin is universally recognized as being deficient in nutritive qualities and a general source of ill health, it is reasonable to assume that all infants so fed will be peculiarly liable to intestinal atasis, or constipation. Parents should be very alert and watchful for the earliest symptoms of delayed functioning of the gastro-in testinal tract to give it immediate and rational treatment. It is generally safe to assume that the commonly called indigestion is usually an early evidence of such delayed functioning, and it must be noted that in infancy and early childhood indigestion is very much more serious than in adult life, because the nutritive material derived from the intestines must not only meet the demands of ordinary wear and tear, but in the child it must also furnish the material for the increase in new tissues required in the process of growth. If this material is not supplied then organic disease must inevitably result. Education should begin with strict instruction to visit the toilet at a certain fixed hour and peremptorily to obey the slightest warning of nature. Pills will never take the place of natural reactions. PREVENTION. It is easy to live in good health, and to be happy if one gets the right start, because it then becomes simply a matter of continuing a fixed habit, which is the very easiest thing one can do; for we consist essentially of an organism built up around a group of fixed habits, all our fundamental vital functions being fixed habits. But if you fail to secure the right start, never having experienced it, you find the pursuit of health, like the pursuit of happiness, a vague, strenuous and exceedingly unsatisfactory occupation, because you do not always know when you have either. The desired goal ever appears to be something just a few paces ahead and seems always to dissolve and vanish like the will-o' the wisp just as we would grasp it. It is perfectly obvious that any material change for the worse in one's average state of health implies the necessity for a change of one's habits. But so completely are we subject to natural laws that the first time any new point of view is affirmed there inevitably must be opposition to it. It is the normal inertia of the mind which opposes such resistance just as all matter in nature is opposed to every change in the direction of its forces. But, notwithstanding the psychological phenomena which influence us all, the forces of fact are superior to every inertia and sooner or later must conquer. But always the pressure of material facts is required to drive us forward to change and improvement. No real advance can be made, except such as may be related to some tangible and material evidence whereby it is removed from the domain of opinion into that of fact, changed from subjective into objective. To array facts, then, in their most comprehensive form is without doubt the most direct road to the attainment of good health. And of all facts the most concrete and convincing are those founded on the common familiar measurements. We know that from the instant of impregnation to complete development the human organism responds to definite rhythmic growing impulses, each of which has its specific reason and results both physical and chemical. It should not be deemed at all strange, then, that certain types should evidence definite tendencies all through life. Measurements of a human infant will show that the essential stature—that is, the length of the trunk and head compared with the total length from the heels to the top of the head —exceeds the length of the legs, and the human infant is essentially a feeding animal. The first year tends to a maximum development of the digestive organs with a corresponding increase in body bulk and fat, but where the subsequent development is normal maturity finds that a balance has taken place between these two sections, and they have become relatively equal. However, where this condition of balanced development is not found to exist we find an individual that either is robust or one that has been arrested in morphological development and retains the type and all the tendencies of a younger age, with all its penalties, a condition which makes it essential that these unfortunate individuals, to maintain a relative healthy state of body, are compelled to submit themselves to a severe hygienic regime throughout their entire lives. Unfortunately, our knowledge is not of a character that such steps are generally perceived to be necessary, and the inevitable end is not recognized until it has become a fact. These are the victims of gout, "chronic rheumatism," hemorrhoids and chronic liver, stomach and bronchial difficulties. All the vast array of difficulties falling under the head of lithemia, an excess of uric acid in the system, and supposed to be due to defective elimination, are without doubt to be attributed rather to an excessive formation of these elements in the system because of a constitutional slowing down in the metabolic reactions from defective construction in the beginning, grossly aggravated by an imperfect and improperly balanced diet thereafter, rather than the result of something "caught." The early recognition of these tendencies is the certain prevention of the development of a vast number of distressing conditions later in life and a strong argument for a sane regime in handling those already suffering from the natural results of a prior condition. This would appear to be the reasonable explanation of the numberless bitter disappointments that have followed every alleged cure for these conditions since the very dawn of history, and a strong reason why an earnest effort should be made for a solution of the problem along the lines suggested by the work of our many brilliant scientists. HOUSE OUSTS REP. HOWLAND COMMITTEE REPORTS PROOF OF BRIBERY LACKING, BUT SUS-TAINS PERJURY CHARGE. MESSENGER TESTIFIES "THERE WILL BE OTHERS IN JAIL SOON," THREAT OF ACCUSED MEMBER. Denver, March 16.—Representative William W. Howland of Denver was expelled from membership in the lower branch of the State Legislature when that body, by a vote of 60 ayes and no nays, five members being excused or absent, adopted the report of the special investigating committee, composed of Speaker P. B. Stewart and Representatives Boone Best, P. D. Nelson, E. V. Dunklee and Hugh Taylor. The report stated that the committee had been unable to determine definitively that Howland had accepted money as a bribe, but that it found him guilty of perjury and recommended to the House that he "be expelled as a member of the House as being guilty of conduct unbecoming a member of this body and that his seat be and is hereby declared vacant." Meantime Howland is in jail, being unable to find anyone to go on his bond of $2,000 pending his trial on a charge of committing perjury before the county grand jury in telling two stories in explanation of the receipt of money by him on the floor of the House the afternoon of Feb. 9. Howland has declared that he is prepared to "let things ride," but to Representatives Ardourel and Dailey, Democrats, who went to visit him at the jail, he is said to have declared, bitterly, "I'm the first representative to land in jail, but I'll not be the last. There'll be more of you soon." Because of Howland's arrest and facts adduced before the grand jury, the House investigation committee Monday asked that it be continued, with all plenary powers to conduct further investigations and hearings into the case in hope of getting at the real truth of the whole transaction. The request was granted unanimously. Denver, March 15.—Representative William W. Howland of Denver was arrested Saturday afternoon on an information filed with District Judge Denison by District Attorney John A. Rush, in behalf of the county grand jury, charging Howland with deliberate perjury in his testimony before the grand jury, relative to his receipt of money Feb. 9 on the floor of the House chamber at the state capitol. He was unable to give $2,000 ball, and was taken to the county jail. The Howland case took an interesting turn Saturday as the result of testimony Friday night before the House probe committee by Dr. Mary E. Bates of the Women's Protective League, to the effect that she had sent $15 to Howland to be transmitted by him to Mrs. L. L. Hartzell, a private detective engaged by her to investigate Juvenile Court officers and matters, when Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Juvenile Court notified District Attorney John A. Rush that he would ask for warrants for the arrest of Dr. Bates, R. P. Rollins, undertaker; E. K. Whitehead, secretary of the State Humane Society, and Frank L. Rose, on charges of conspiring to defame Lindsey's character. District Attorney Rush stated that he would issue no such warrants until Judge Lindsey presented evidence sufficient to satisfy the district attorney that his charges can be sustained in a criminal action. The arrest Friday of Carl Gibson, a messenger boy of the Postal company who disappeared soon after the Howland probe started, brought out a story so entirely different from any told previously that the investigators confidently anticipate startling developments in the immediate future. Gibson testified before the grand jury that he carried the mysterious package containing currency on Feb. 9, from an office in the Denver Gas & Electric building to Howland on the floor of the House, delivering the message to a doorkeeper. He declared inability to remember the office to which he was called, nor could he describe the person who gave him the package to deliver to Howland. For the first time since the beginning of the case the word "bribe" was connected with it directly, when the information against Howland stated that the grand jury had been investigating "certain matters with reference to accepting and receiving a bribe by the said W. W. Howland." This infers that the grand jury has discovered evidence stronger than that brought out in the House of Representatives probe, and which leads to political influence's "higher up." Two of the "higher ups" were reported to have left the city Saturday, and the grand jury refused to chance Howland's remaining in Denver over Sunday. George C. Waterman, Howland's close friend and partner in the "framed" story first told to the grand jury and the House investigation committee, was before the grand jury Saturday, and later was closeted with District Attorney Rush, prior to Howland's arrest. STRICT OIL INSPECTION Do You Know That— McDEVITT FAVORS MEASURE TO REGULATE INDUSTRY. Judge Hubert L. Shattuck Declares Sabin Bills Were Drawn in Good Faith. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—"This committee is going to recommend a law with teeth in it for the State Oil Inspection Department," said Representative McDevitt, member of the special House committee to investigate the conduct of the oil inspector's office, after the first sitting by that body. The committee satisfied itself that the present law governing this department is without power to enforce standards of purity, etc., of oils, gases, etc. He then showed the income of the department was an average of $1,250 a month, and expenses $500 a month, deaving an average of $750 a month net revenue. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF "What we shall try to do," further said Representative McDevitt, "will be to enact a law that will hereafter be a guaranty to all consumers of oils, gases, etc., that the products purchased by them from any dealer shall be what the label on the container says they are and what the seller represents them." That the Sabin bills were drawn up in good faith, and were in no manner designed as an attack on Judge Ben B. Lindsey, was the assertion of former Judge Hubert L. Shattuck, when he learned of Judge Lindsey's charges following the testimony in the Howland case that the "package of money" had been subscribed to hire a detective in the campaign to push the bills through the Legislature. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Shattuck said that he had drawn up the bills in question at the request of Representative Sabin, and that they were simply intended to do away with the friction and extra work sometimes occasioned by the existence of separate courts. It was a misfortune, he said, if they had been made the vehicle of a personal attack on the judge of the Juvenile Court. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. "These bills," said Shattuck, would put all of the jurisdiction involving family relations in one place and do away with all possibility of a clash in jurisdiction, which sometimes arises from one court granting a divorce when there are children involved and another court dealing with the children." Please for Commutations DenDied. Denver.—Governor Carlson met with the State Board of Pardons Saturday for the first time during his administration. The board denied commutation of five sentences, and continued four for further investigation. Commutations were denied F. Carter, Jose Cruz Juan Garcia, Lee Helton and Lula Rehugler, and action on the sentences of Masero Cruz, Entinio Martinez, John Dietz and James Loftus, all sentenced to life imprisonment, was delayed until further investigation. Omar Garwood, assistant prosecuting attorney in Denver at the time James Loftus was sentenced to life for the murder of a bystander during a quarrel with a policeman, asked that Loftus' term be shortened. Garwood stated that he had always thought the punishment was too severe, as there had been no premeditation of the murder. Deputy District Attorney Foster Cline requested that the sentences of Cruz and Martinez for a murder in Huerfano county in 1904 be commuted. Cline stated that he was living in Huerfano county at the time, and that the evidence was entirely circumstantial.

Denver.—Colorado people are much interested in the five-acre summer homestead act which Senator John F. Shafroth, by reason of his membership on the agricultural appropriations committee of the Senate, was able to get attached as an amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill, and which passed both branches of Congress. The law provides that the secretary of agriculture may grant leases for not to exceed thirty years to persons and associations for tracts of the public domain not exceeding five acres, to be used for summer homes. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Hendricks Named Drug Inspector. Denver.—John Hendricks, a registered pharmacist of Denver, has been appointed an inspector in the internal revenue department upon recommendation of Senator Shafroth and will look after the enforcement of the antinarcotic law in so far as violations by druggists are concerned. He will check up on drug sales at all drug stores. Would Let Good Road Laws Alone. Denver.—Members of the Colorado Good Roads Association do not want any more legislative enactments until the present road laws have been tried out. That was made clear to several state senators who attended a banquet under the auspices of the association. "Let the State Highway Commission alone," was the chief subject of discussion, and members of the association contended that the people had expressed their confidence in the commission by their recent vote on the balf-mill mountain park levy. Do You Know That- The COLORADO STATESMAN IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. Give Us a Trial and and We Will Give You Satisfaction Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver 1 If the new spring styles in gowns are strictly of American design, there is every reason to congratulate their creators. After a study of them one might be pardoned for quoting from the song which bids us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation and adding "from foreign-made modes" thereto. The street costumes are cleverly shaped, comfortable, and clean cut. Their tailoring is a thing of faultless beauty. Skirts are short and just wide and flaring enough for comfort in walking and for style. Jackets and coats are easy and smart, improving the figure which wears them properly. One may have a choice as to length, as they are shown in both long and short models. Materials are durable, old favorites being to the fore in the smartest garments. Decorations are few and elegant, buttons and straps and the introduction of outside pockets providing most of them. But it is in amazing cleverness in cutting both skirts and coats that this season has distinguished itself above others. The Motor Bonnet of Silk A THE motor bonnet of silk continues to stand at the head of the list as the most practical of things designed for the headwear of autoists. From the standpoint of comfort, service, low cost, becomingness, and the ease with which it can be made, the silk motor bonnet has no rival possessing all of its advantages. There are, however, many bonnets that combine the soft millinery braids, like those of hemp or silk fiber, with silk in their construction, that are just as durable and becoming. By means of the braid the element of novelty in design enters into their composition, but they are less simple to make than the silk bonnets. The latter will not tax the ingenuity of the home milliner at all. Taffeta silk is the most satisfactory weave to use. Its body gives the bonnet a chance to remain shapely; it sheds the dust easily and it is made in most appropriate and pleasing colors. Patterns by which to cut the body of bonnets are furnished by any of the standard pattern companies. Usually only about a yard of taffetta and a small strip of crinoline are needed, except when plaitings of the silk are used for trimming. An extra allowance must be made for this. Machine stitching, with silk thread, helps out in the finish and decoration of the all-silk bonnets. The veil of washable chiffon holds its own with the silk bonnet as the best friend of the motorist. Chiffon veils are so essential that they form a part of the design in most bonnets and are always reckoned with, either as a part of the decoration or an accessory --- ple, but made of the airiest fabrics over satin foundations. Bodices are modestly high, and satin bindings are used to finish the flouces and overdresses of net or crepe or chiffon. With all this fluffiness there is a little touch of the austere in the bodice usually. In the picture given here a street suit of swell shepherd's plaid is shown. Plaits at the sides of both front and back produce slightly flaring panels, the skirt being made up of four of these. The jacket opens in a "V" at the front, with revers terminating at the bust line and an inlay of velvet which is carried to the high turnover collar. A strap at each side of the back is finished with a simulated buttonhole and set, with a lone button, to the narrow, shaped belt which defines the slightly high waist line. The cuffs are odd, with the sleeve turned back from a band of velvet and fastened down with a button. The front of the jacket is almost straight, and cut with a dip. A Several special kinds of hats appeal among the spring showings of motor headwear, among them exquisite crocheted hats of silk fiber braid, and patent leather hats. The last are wholly rainproof. But the crocheted hats, and silk bonnets like those pictured here, are not much damaged by rain. When the silk bonnet has served its day it can be replaced for so little money and is altogether so attractive that it is likely to remain a favorite. Velvets for Little Girls. Girls from twelve to sixteen are following the example of their elders for afternoon in the wearing of velvet frocks. These usually have over blouses or long-waisted effects, with the top skirt of velvet and the short underskirt of satin or plaited chiffon. A collar of real lace and a satin bell or sash completes a very smart little costume which can be worn without a coat as warmer weather approaches. Rice in Pincushion. Rice makes an excellent filling for a pincushion. Take a yard of five inch dresden ribbon, double and sew into a bag, stitching a quarter of an inch back from the edge along the sides, to leave for a finish. Fill it snugly with rice grains and you will find it keeps its place; even heavy hatpins do not turn it over. Soiled White Inexcusable. Clean white will cover a multitude of faults in style and material, but solled white on a woman is quite as inexcusable as on a man. ```markdown ``` JULIA BOTTOMLEY. RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992.
