WASHINGTON URGES COOPERATION BETWEEN BUSINESSMEN AND FARMER VOL. XX11. DR. WASHING COOPERATION BUSINESSMEN By authority of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, I am writing to urge the officers and members of state and local Negro business leagues to take active steps at once to arrange "get-together meetings" with the farmers of their states and committees. By carefully working out plans in advance for these meetings great interest can be aroused throughout the surrounding rural communities and, in my opinion, much good accomplished. Notice should be sent to the farmers telling them of the coming of local league members, and acquainting them with the purposes of the visit. It is a better plan to use buggies, carriages or automobiles than railroads, as these conveyances will permit wider areas to be covered and more people reached. The program of these tours might include calling on individual farmers, speaking in churches and schoolhouses, and visiting small country stores. By co-operating with the farmers in this manner greater confidence may be established between producer and merchant, mutual buying and selling methods adopted, and the volume of business of Negro merchants increased. Another way to bring about results through Negro business league work is for the local Negro business leagues in cities not too far distant to have joint meetings. For instance, the local league at Tuskegee, Ala., has recently held joint meetings with the local leagues at Montgomery, Opelika and Union Springs, Ala. As the result of these joint meetings more helpful business and trade relationship has been established between the business men of these several communities. I very much hope that the local leagues will take hold of these matters, for by so doing they will help the farmers solve their problems, and at the same time increase the business of colored merchants.

Berkeley, Calif., 1915.—That the intermarriage of whites and Negroes would not violate biological laws and that the offspring of such unions would be admirable stock is the opinion of T. T. Waterman, professor of anthropology at the University of California. In maintaining this opinion, the professor said: "The idea that many people hold of the danger of intermarriage between Negroes and whites is absurd. Every stock breeder knows the advantage of crossbreeding. Cross-breeding toughens the stock and improves the type. We need only to look at examples of cattle and other domestic animals to verify this. "Cross-breeding of whites and Negroes would produce as good results. The offspring would have all the good characteristics of both types and would be immune to the exaggerated characteristic of either parent. Ill effects which now come from inbreeding would not appear in the progeny of such unions. We have tangible evidence for the above in the natives of British Honduras, where inter-marriage with Negroes is not only sanctioned, but customary. The hybrids are muscular, strong mentally and in every way equal to their white brothers. "Negroes and women have had their mental progress hampered for many years. Women in the last fifty years have shown that they can develop with great rapidity and that they are mentally man's equal. We have never given the Negro the same chance. His backwardness is not due to any inherent mental disability, but simply because he has not had opportunity. "Give the Negroes the same chance that we have given women and we will find that they will progress as rapidly. I do not advise marriage with Negroes in view of the present racial feeling in the United States, but there is certainly no biological objection to such marriages." Announcement has been made by Governor Charles Whitman of the appointment of the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, of New York City, the appointment to be effective November 1, 1915. Mr Anderson was until recently Collector of Internal Revenue in New York City, which position he held under three Presidents. As collector his record was A No. 1, his office handling more money, probably than any other office in the revenue service. Mound Bayou, Miss., Oct. 26.—The Mound Bayou State Bank opened for business on October 21, with a paid up capital of $10,000, and a surplus paid in of $2,000. This is the second Negro bank established under the Guarantee Act of the State of Mississippi. Chas. Banks, general manager of the Mound Bayou Oil Mill and Manufacturing Co., is the principal promoter, having invested $11,000 of the $12,000 paid in. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1915 state Hist & Nut Hist Booster State House ANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO COLORED GIRL HAS $600 A DAY INCOME Oilton. Okla., Oct 28.—The rising price of oil has boosted to $600 a day the income of Sarah Rector, 18-year-old Colored girl, who owns one of the most valuable oil land allotments in the Oilton district, and whose immense profits in the past have attracted wide attention. The fight over the job of being her guardian also, has been renewed in the courts. Her tract of land is operated by B. B. Jones, millionaire oil man, who holds a lease negotiated by T. J. Porter, as the girl's guardian. Its production for October will be approximately 160,000 barrels and Sarah Rector will get one-eighth, or 20,000 barrels, which she has contracted to sell for 90 cents a barrel. A recent decision of Federal Judge Campbell at Muskogee that the producer must pay the royalty in oil, if the owner so desires, has added 10 cents a barrel to the girl's income Before that she had been getting royalty on only 80 cents the market price when handled through an operator. But now, owing to the great demand for oil, she sells it independently at a premium of 10 cents a barrel. The Sarah Rector allotment has been a good revenue producer since it was first opened about two years ago. The girl has received from her land in royalty approximately $60,000 in cash up to May of this year, and on that date her roya'ty oil had accumulated during the previous four months was sold at the then market price of 40 cents a barrel, netting her an additional $65,000. The land reached its high tide in production during the spring of this year. It was estimated to be making 20,000 barrels a day during April, or 600,000 barrels for the month, of which the girl's share was 75,000 barrels, but her income proportionately less than now because of the low price. Much of Sarah Rector's money has been invested in farm lands and Muskogee city property, through her guardian. A short time ago a suit to annul the lease held by B. B. Jones on her oil land was instituted by E. C. Sweeney of the Commercial National Bank of Muskogee County Court to recover $1,570,000 from B. B. Jones, illegally appointed guardian. In the same petition he asked to have T. J. Porter removed as her guardian and himself appointed to act for her and her sister and brother, who also own valuable allotments. The county court denied his petition. Sweeney's attorney's then filed suit in the Muskogee County Court to recover $1,250,000 was specified as the proceeds of the oil sold by Jones and $320,000 as the bonus the girl could have obtained had she been free from the Jones lease. The case has not been decided. The Sarah Rector allotment is a fractional 80 acre tract lying along the Cimarron River. It is very rough and hilly and has no value for agricultural purposes. Sergeant R. M. Norris of Troop A, Tenth Cavalry, from Fort Huashaca, Arizona, who was a member of a team of 14 selected by Uncle Sam to represent the Southern department, U. S. A, which took place at the exposition grounds during the horse show last week, won first place and the blue ribbon in the high jumps, first place in the resource race fifth place in the P. I. course of sixteen jumps. Captain C. S. Babcock of the Tenth also distinguished himself by winning the second place in the two and a half mile race.

RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Philadelphia, Pa.,- Ebenezer Bishop of Bridgeton, N. J., aged 112 years, died at the Philadelphia Hospital on Tuesday October 5. He was born April 2, 1803, in Bridgeton county. As a boy he was indentured to a farmer and worked at the one place for seventy years. Muskogee, Okla., Oct. 20. Much interest has been excited by the announcement that the Sever's block, located on Broadway, sunning from Main to Second streets, the most prominent business location in the city, has been purchased for Luther Manuel, a little 12 year old Negro boy, by his white guardian, at a cost of $120,000. The investment was sanctioned by Judge Leahy. Luther Manuel is a youngster whose income from oil lands is pilling in at the rate of $25,000 to $30,000 a month. A similar investment was made for Sarah Rector, 15 years old, who has been called the richest Negro child in the world. The Bid Fike apartment and business block, South Second street, was bought for her for $57,000. This is in a Negro section, but Sever's block is in a locality where everything and everybody passes. New York, Oct 23.—Alfred H. Lockhart, reputed to be the richest colored man in the Danish West Indies, paid a visit to the New York News office on Tuesday afternoon last week, and spoke in high terms of the work being done by the many branches of the race's leading paper. Mr. Lockhart is also the representative of the Standard Oil Company in the West Indies and not so very long ago entertained John D. Rockefeller, Jr. at his palatial residence in the Island of St. Luke's Hospital and will be leaving for Canada within a few weeks. Although here on business he is enjoying his trip, which is not the first, to the United States, Before leaving, he will make arrangements to send two of his children to school here, as he is very much impressed with the educational work of the United States, his eldest son having graduated with honor from one of the leading schools of Pennsylvania. Cincinnati, O, Oct. 28.—Carl Young, colored, a graduate pharmacist of Howard University, and employed at the drug store located at the corner of Fifth and John streets, was brutally beaten here last week by a lieutenant of police NO 12 and two patrolmen. The officers became enraged, it is said, when the young Negro came the door of his place and requested the officers to desist from the use of loud and profane language, reminding them that there were ladies inside the store. At this the officers, it is said snatched the young man out of the door and gave him an amurciful beating with their clubs, and later they called the patrol wagon and sent him to the station house. An indignation meeting has been held by the members of the Park Street M. E. Church, at which resolutions were passed to see that the young man gets justice. The sum of $40 was raised to assist in the prosecution of the policemen. A petition has been circulated and signed by over 700 citizens, it is said, demanding the suspension of the offending officers. WHITE GIRL FROM TEXAS REFUSES TO POSE Chicago, Ill., Oct. 24.—Seventy-five art students assembled in the largest studio in the Art Institute yesterday afternoon. The model, draped, took her pose under the direction of Miss Jessie P. Lacey, instructor. Members of the class had "laid off their proportions" and started to sketch in the detail. Miss Lacey was engaged in assisting a backward student. Then the door of the studio opened and three colored girls walked in and looked about for seats. The model, Miss Della Rains, who recently came to Chicago from her home in Dallas, Texas, saw the three as soon as they entered and "dropped" her pose. "Are those Negroes going to work in this class?" she asked students near the stand. "They are members of the class and I suppose they came here to work," was the reply. Miss Rains jumped from the posing stand to the floor and left the room. Meantime Miss Lacey was explaining the democratic spirit that should prevail in large art schools such as that conducted by the Art Institute "I was reared to respect the Negro as a citizen and I do not hate them as some Southerners are supposed to," said Miss "ains after the incident "I simply believe they should exercise tact in selecting the field for her activities."

Al- bert Mildenberg, as published in your Sunday Magazine, I venture to add a tew words, the result of great interest and much research in my personal ac- quaintance of many years with the well-known English Negro composer, Coleridge Taylor, and the famous American authority, Harry T. Burleigh, both of these men being grave and earnest musicians, yet each pursuing entirely different paths in the devel- opment of their art, writes Albert J. Weber in the New York Times. In the case of Coleridge Taylor it has been a steady advancement of a great talent for composition along serious lines, with no leaning toward develop- ment of a race peculiarity or special influence, it being simply the following out of the classical as well as lighter form ¢ of musical compositions follow- ing those of all of the modern cele- brated Buropean composers. Regarding Mr. Burleigh, his work has been @ development of an idea which has had as its main inception and es- sential character the bringing out of peculiar and individual Negrofd quali- ties, so far a: the themes and rhythm are concerned, of course, seriously treated, but nevertheless with the idea of establishing a splendid and delight- ful color in his work, and the exis- tence of a characteristic that he attrib- utes solely to the Southern plantation Negro. It is but just and fair to pre- sume that the charming melodies sung by the Southern plantation Negro, such as “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and “Steal Away to Jesus” and the humerous other spirituals that I have heard unlimited times during my in- vestigations in the South, throughout that glorious “Land of Dixie,” are of absolutely pure Negro origin, and this fact no doubt re-enforces the conten- tion of Prof. Albert Mildenberg’s argu- ment that we must look to these fun- damental principles of melody and rhythm produced by these very Soutb- ern Negro singers, and maintained by them to this very day in their orig- inal form, for the very essence of the material upon which our American folk-song exists and may be further developed. ‘The more treatment they will under- go at the hands of the trained and skilled musicians the further away from their intrinsic value they will be drawn, the more will they lose their entire individuality. ‘The natural mel- odies in their original form, free from harmonic treatment by technical mu- sicians, will of themselves be a potent factor in our future musical develop- ment. Statistics show that 55,000 of the 165,000 people in Birmingham are Ne- groes. The school census of 1912 showed 21,336 Negrd children of school age. The annual report of the Birmingham public schools of 1913 as 7,960 Negro children enrolled in he schools, 5,884 of whom attended cegularly. This report shows 5,445 seats for these children, a lacking vf 429 seats to accommodate them. Our schools are sadly crowded; many drop out for this reason, and I won- Jer to what extent are these condi- tions responsible for the large amount of work left for the juvenile court officers, for the restless, ignor- ant young Negro who crowds the dives, jails and mines, for the spread of infectious diseases.—Mrs. Sidney M. Ullman, in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. A correspondent of a Washington newspaper suggested that the United States create a Negro army of from 500,000 to 1,000,000 men for carrying on the reclamation work and other in- dustrial undertakings in peace, and do our fighting in time of war. This is a most undemocratic and abhorrent suggestion. Mercenary armies and vicarious fighters were in fashion 150 years ago, when despotic kings used them as their tools of oppression. The odium that attaches to the term Hes- sian, in our own history, is the result of the intense feeling among our own forefathers against hireling soldiers ‘The revolutionary fighters were will- ing to risk their fortunes, their ener- gies and their lives in the struggle for liberty, and the English king brought into the field against them hired troops. Unprepared and undis- ciplined as the Americans were, their superior morale won for them victory.

Farmers in England are now pre- paring to pay women the same wages ‘as given to the men called away to war. In proportion to population, Japan has more suicides than any other civ- Mized nation. One of the most significant of the many hopeful tendencies in the South today is the spirit of co-operation be- ing manifested on every hand between the white and colored people. Never in the history of the South, it is safe to say, has there been so keen an in- terest on the part of the white popula: tion in the condition and welfare of the Negro. In almost every large city below the Ohio river, from Galveston and Houston up to New Orleans, Bir- mingham, Atlanta and even Washing- ton, there has been an awakening in some one or all of the phases of Negro life. In the agricultural districts of southern states there has been a re- valuation of the status of the Negro and a new attitude with regard to him is being formed. Of the many causes to which this awakening is to be attributed two stand out most prominently. First, the publication of census statistics showing the appalling death rate from tuberculosis and other diseases among Negroes and the absence ot any well regulated effort looking to- ward sanitation in Negro quarters. The interest which many people have taken has been, no doubt, the sort of interest one would take if a mad dog “were loose in the neighborhood; but, regardless of the motive of self-pres- ervation, the “cleanup” movement has been responsible for great good. In the second place, the colored peo- ple themselves have been so untiring in their efforts to bring to pass a new- er and better era in the land of which they are in indispensable economic part that their labors are now bearing fruit. There is a larger confidence in the future of their race, because they themselves are responding more rap- idly and more satisfactorily now than ever before. The South in the next few decades will become one of the richest sections of the nation and of the world. It is therefore important not only that la- bor and capital should work in har- mony, but it is even more important that there should be an interracial sympathy and co-operation in all econ- omic and civie endeavor. The laborer can be kept skillful and efficient only as his environment is wholesome and strengthening, and not weakening and demoralizing. It is in the spirit of this paragraph, reflected in an address de- livered by Maj. R. R. Moton of Hamp- ton institute, that the leading white people of the South are coming to re- gard the Negro problem. ‘That a large share of their concern in the matter lies on the side of the economic is shown by the interest taken in the ef- forts of a number of state and city health officials to improve the sanitary conditions in which the Negroes of their respective districts are forced to live—Chicago Daily News.

SUPREME COURT DEFINES JUVE. NILE COURT JURISDICTION. Decision Holds Court Erred When It Denied a Motion to Quash In- formation Against Wm. Colias. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The jurisdiction of the Ju- yenile Court in Denver to try adults charged with crimes against minors, irrespective of the nature of the crime, was denied in a decision handed down by the State Supreme Court. The de- cision held that the Juvenile Court erred when it denied a motion to quash an information against William Colias, who was tried in the Juventie Court for an alleged crime against a minor and was sentenced to the peni- tentiary for ten to twenty years. According to attorneys, the effect of the decision is to strip the Juvenile Court of jurisdiction which Judge Lindsey has been exercising for the last five years, under which forty- nine adults have been sent to the penitentiary. It is contended, how- ever, that the decision will not affect the status of these prisoners, as the Jurisdiction of the juvenile judge will be held to have been de facto, from which the defendants will have no appeal. The Supreme Court, in its decision, denied the claim of Judge Lindsey. made in the Colias case, through the attorney general, that she Juvenile Court has concurrent jevisdiction in criminal cases with the District courts. It held, in substance, that the Jurisdiction of Judge Lindsey's court in criminal casea is limited to those which have to deal with the disposi tion, custody or control of a minor, Calendar of Legal Hangings.

It is being proven more and more (to use a phraseology) that the "farmers have it on us." What with city lots, cottages, apartment houses being exchanged for farms and ranches among the well-to-do, and the exodus of our people to settle on government lands, taking up claims, etc., it surely appears as if a wave of prosperity is on its way to Colorado. A particular feature that has our endorsement is in the number of young people who have resolved to get away from the lure of city life and start on the road of independence, viewing the same with the far-seeing eye of their foreparents. Legacies are not coming the way of the colored American as to encourage him in luxury and ease, therefore he is beginning out here to learn the lesson of the early provision for himself, if he is to be a legatee. We have received information and very favorable reports from those who have made sacrifices to launch in this direction, and we assure them that every encouragement we can offer will be unhesitatingly done. Some have gone as pioneers and adventurers; others will follow, and so keep the good work in front of them until pauperism and poverty will no longer be to our credit, but fortunes coming to stay with us for all time, never to leave us behind in the race which wins recognition from man to man. Our hats off to the farmers. AMERICA FIRST. As we wend our way through the streets of our city, as we peruse the columns of our daily and weekly newspapers, we come in contact with indications that ought to indelibly stamp on our hearts the words "America First" with all the truism they contain. This we hold should be the motto of every American who is beginning to realize that the country which was held up so near and dear to the minds of her adopted sons and daughters when normal conditions transpired in the world is confronted with an internal menace which is incomparable, especially now that we are at peace with the world and up to the present have acted within reasonable bounds to remain neutral in this unfortunate struggle engaged in by our sister nations. From the numerous incidents of wanton destruction of property, loss of life, etc., in our country from sympathizers with some of the belligerents in Europe, an alarming feature is spreading over our nation as to the ways and means necessary to combat with this evil which if not immediately suppressed will surely be a blot on us for generations to come. Traitors are the worst enemies to any cause, and as the Negro element has yet to learn this quality of treachery which is showing itself daily among other Americans who have an original and an adopted home, in spite of the lawlessness that he is subjected to by a class which represents the worst of any country, would it not be wisdom to take him into confidence as he has demonstrated in the past and even now, in serving his country on the Mexican border, that he is worthy of more recognition than in his fellow American who not only uses the country conveniently, but in a moment of imaginary wrong lends his efforts to disrupt and destroy the very foundations of our republic by trying to plunge us into internal or external strife. We agree with Edward B. Clark of Washington, who in his recent article, states very clearly, "Preparedness, as it is put here by its proponents, means getting ready to shoot the man who goes at you from the front, and at the same time to take care that somebody else does not shoot you from the back." He goes on to say, "Preparedness folk here are none too well satisfied with the actions of the administration, and they see in the present apparent official apathy with which plots against our peace and our property are regarded a fear based on politics. Preparedness is going to be an issue in the next presidential campaign, and if preparedness against "un-Americans" at home be added there will be a better chance of standing well with the people. It is a case of patriotism versus politics. The party that chooses patriotism is likely to get the best of it." Such an expression from a real American as Mr. Clark can find lodgment only in the hearts of men of his type who feel that patriotism is the virtue and essence of inhabitants true to a country's cause, and the Colorado statesman can emphatically assert that in its continuous endeavors to call the attention of the officials to the wisdom of sharing their confidence with the nearly 12,000,000 of dark-skinned people in this country, that no phase of treachery has ever been discovered among us from the years of our residence here, but rather a helping hand in the development and prosperity of the United States, nobly defending her against all comers, our priceless pearl being—America First. "To thyself first be true." Future of America in Hands of Mothers By Madison C. Peters, New York There never was a truer saying: "Like mother like son." Sir Walter Scott's mother was a superior woman—a lover of poetry and painting. Byron's worst enemy was his mother—proud and ill-tempered. She reviled him as "a lame beast." He replied, "I was born so, mother." Ruskin acknowledged without stint the debt he owed to his mother's love and care of him in a system of education, though puritanically stern, founded on high principles of wisdom and righteousness. Napoleon's mother not only possessed a superior mind and deep piety, she was a heroine who could look in the face of physical danger without winking. The mothers of Patrick Henry, Daniel Webster and Henry Clay were distinguished for their conversational powers. The mother of Wesley was distinguished for her intellectual powers and executive ability, so that she has been called "the mother of Methodism." The debt which the United States owes to the mothers of its good citizens cannot be expressed either in words or in figures. It is a debt on which the republic can only pay the interest—interest that exists in the manifestation of an ever-increasing reverence for American motherhood; for with all its magnificent resources, and with its $200,000,000,000 of wealth it is too poor to make even a feeble attempt to pay the principal Mothers have trained our statesmen. Washington was only eleven years old when his father died, leaving his mother, Mary Washington, with five children to educate and direct. The little manual in which she wrote all her maxims of religion and morality was preserved by Washington as one of his most valued treasures, of which he says: "Was consulted by me many times in after life." A French general, on retreating from the presence of Mary Washington, remarked: "It is not surprising that America should produce great men, since she can boast of such mothers." How Lincoln reverenced his mother is told by all his biographers. He imputed his best qualities to inheritance from Nancy Hanks. General Grant's mother went into a room at a certain hour of each day during the war to pray for her Ulysses. The future of America is in the hands of the mothers. In her office the mother holds the key of the soul; she it is who stamps the coin of character and it is to her America is indebted for her great men. Malay Language Popular in East Indies By Commander H. G. Steyn of Holland One might think that Spanish or Dutch would be the trade language of the East Indies, but the fact is that the Malayan language is the tongue in general use all through the East Indies. I spent about eight years in the Orient, traveling in all parts of the East Indies, and in nearly all the islands the language used was the Malayan. Even in New Zealand and Australia the Malayan language is used to a large extent among tradesmen of different nations. The island of Java is the most important in the East Indies. It has a population of nearly forty million people, though it is the fourth in size of that group. Borneo is the largest, Sumatra next, and Celebes third. The richness of the soil and the variety of the industries make Java the most important. Batavia, the seaport and capital of Java, has about twenty-three thousand Europeans in its population. It is a pleasant place to live, though the climate is always warm. There are many things to interest one besides the study of the life and habits of the people. Pearl fishing off the island of New Guinea is a wonderfully interesting sport. New Guinea, until the European war began, was divided among the Dutch, Germans and English, but the British have taken the upper half of the eastern part, which belonged to the Germans. Latest Styles for Men's Wearing Apparel By Ilyby T. Angell, Birmingham, Ala. Everyone knows that the styles for women's wearing apparel are originated in Paris. Nearly every garment a woman wears is a Paris creation or a copy of the Parisian style. In the case with men it is different. The styles of all the clothes of the menfolk in vogue here are originated in this country. When it comes to men's clothes the foreign countries cannot show us anything. Of late years the styles as originally designed by Americans have become popular in nearly all of the foreign countries among the best dressed men, and I expect to see the men of nearly all nations copying our styles in the near future. This winter the clothes of the gentlemen will be cut pretty much on the same order as they were last season. Tight coat, trousers and vest will be in vogue again. No padding and very little stiff lining. This style has met with favor all over the country, and the men have become accustomed to the snug-fitting, padless, lightweight suits. Some tailors are of the opinion that there will be a shortage of woolen fabrics on account of our not being able to obtain the necessary dyes from Germany. I believe, however, that there is a sufficient lot to supply the demand for the coming winter. Momentous Hours in Life of Race By Rev. William E. Donaldson, Chicago The times or hours especially designated were: The hour when "God breathed into man's nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul," and man was created; the hour when, under the influence of the tempter, our representatives doubted the accuracy or justice of the divine command not to eat of the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden. Doubt led to their disobedience; that disobedience was sin, and sin brought punishment and a definite change of man's position on the earth. The hour when joy came into the world through the announcement of the birth of Jesus Christ. The hour when Jesus proclaimed his mission to the world and illustrated that fact by bestowing rich blessings on mankind. The hour of suffering in Gethsemane, the hour of the death on the cross, the hour when he was placed in the tomb, the hour when he came forth from the tomb, when he revealed himself to his disciples, and the hour of his ascension. Around these hours are gathered the events that have meant more for us than we have recognized. May that life be studied more carefully by all men. Bless the children, it is a delight to hear them sing, even when they are out of tune. Future of America in Hands of Mothers By Madison C.

Her very conscientious work for the past year was especially lauded by the faculty, owing to the fact that, in spite of a long absence from school on account of illness, her general average was 94 per cent. She was also chosen as class soloist. CAPT. F. M. HITE Nashville Fire Department ROMAN CHEMICAL CO., Nashville, Tenn. : Dear Sirs: Having taken your medicine with such kind of care, I am now up on me. Several years ago my physicians treated me indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that I was ill. I was given a course of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to take my medicine. I was told that an operation would be the only relief for me, that I would be in a coma and needed to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the hospital. I thought the use of your Remedy, I took a bottle which swiped the contents of my bottle and now up and able to perform my duties.

LARGE majority of meat consumers have no knowledge what-ever of the food value of meat from different parts of the carcass, but make their selections of meat solely according to habit or fancy. In fact, little accurate data along this line has hitherto been available to those who wished to buy meats on a rational basis. As a result, a few well-known cuts are generally in demand, and the remainder of the carcass is a "drug on the market." To such an extreme has this condition developed that a portion of the carcass (loin and ribs), forming only about one-fourth of its weight, represents nearly one-half of its retail cost. In view of the large place which meat occupies in the American diet, amounting to nearly one-third of the average expenditure for all food, the importance of an intelligent understanding of the subject on the part of the consumer is readily apparent. Not only are the foregoing statements true of meat producers and consumers essential to the entire beef-cattle industry, on the one hand, and the economic welfare of the beef-eating public on the other, that a more intelligent understanding of the different cuts of meat be acquired by consumers generally. An increased demand for those portions of the carcass which are now difficult for the butcher to dispose of would contribute largely toward a more stable condition of the trade and thus enable the producer to operate with greater confidence and economy. At the same time it would effect a tremendous saving to the consumer himself by more nearly equalizing the market values of the various cuts and by enabling the retailer to operate with a smaller margin of profit, thereby helping to solve the high cost of living, in so far as meat is concerned. Loin steaks average 59 per cent lean, 32 per cent visible fat, and 9 per cent bone. Sirloin steaks in general contain a greater proportion of lean and smaller proportion of fat than porterhouse and club steaks. Rib roasts contain, on the average, 55 per cent lean, 30 per cent visible fat, and 15 per cent bone.

Round steak contains 74 to 84 per cent lean, the rump roast 49 per cent, round pot oast 85 per cent, and soup bones 8 to 66 per cent. A fairly accurate sun dial has been invented that can be held in the hand and adjusted to tell the time in any latitude.

The shoulder clod contains 80 per cent lean and only 5 per cent bone. The various plate cuts—brisket, navel and rib ends average 51 per cent lean, 41 per cent fat, and 8 per cent bone. From the proportions of lean, fat and bone of different cuts, their relative economy at retail prices may be determined. The net cost of lean meat is an approximate index of the relative economy of steaks and roasts, since they are purchased and used for HEAD NECK CHUCK MIDDLE RIB CLOD BRISKET SHIN HEAD NECK CHUCK MIDDLE RIB PRIME RIB SIRLOIN RUMP MITCHBONE CLOD BRISKET THIN FLANK FLANK BUTTOCK LEG SHIN the lean they contain; but in comparing boiling, stewing and similar meats the cost of gross meat, or fat and lean combined, should be more largely considered, because the fat is more completely utilized, as in the case of meat loaf, hash, hamburger, and corned beef. One of the most important points to learn is the way the meat is cut up and how the different cuts should be cooked. In a side of beef we have first the neck and shoulder clod, the latter a good, solid cut of meat particularly good for beef a la mode; then come the five chuck ribs and the meat from the under side of the animal, the flank, plate, navel and brisket, the latter used mainly for corning; next to the chuck come the NECK SCRAG END HEAD SHOULDER HANK TROTTERS prime ribs for roasting; then the striolin for steaks and roasts; the rump for steaks, roasts and stews; the round for stews and hamburg steak; and the shin for soup.

Having visited them all, noticed the degree of cleanliness with which the meat is handled and made a comparison of cuts and prices, as well as quality, the housekeeper can then make her choice of shops and patronize the one at which she gets the best value for her money. A butcher is ordinarily willing and glad to instruct his customers in the different cuts of meat, to suggest economies and methods of cooking best adapted to each cut. He usually possesses a good deal of knowledge concerning cooking and seasoning, and will be glad to impart this knowledge to any customer who seems to want it. For instance, one butcher will suggest what he calls a "blade roast" in place of a prime rib roast, a cut which has a blade of gristle between the meat and the outside fat. This he will trim out, bone and roll the meat, giving a solid roast, without waste, and the balance of the meat around the ends of the bones can be utilized for stewing or casserole cooking. He will recommend: fancy rolled brisket for corning instead of the more expensive cut from the rump, which, while certainly tender and well flavored, has a large amount of waste. He will tell you, when you order hamburg steak, to add a half cupful of breadcrumbs and two or three tablespoonfuls of water to your hamburg steak to make it lighter and improve the flavor. All these hints have been gleaned from women who were interested in the subject of marketing and were not afraid to let the butcher know it. Having decided upon the shop, make it a point to learn all the cuts of meat the butcher has, as butchers differ, as before suggested, in the way they cut the meat. There is a wide divergence in the way the rump of beef is cut, for instance, and the way in which lamb and veal are cut up is also a matter of the butcher's opinion. To illustrate, one butcher in a small town cut lamb chops from the forequarter, the first being frenched, and those near the shoulder, which he called rack chops, being sold at a less price, for stewing or RIME RIB SIRLOIN RUMP MITCHBONE FLANK BUTTOCK THIN FLANK LEG braising. Not a block away was a butcher who sold the entire rack, from the first chop up to the shoulder, as French chops, at 35 cents per pound, and recognized no difference in the quality of the meat. There is also another point to consider, and that is the way the meat is trimmed, some butchers trimming closely before weighing, in which case the meat may be well worth a cent or two a pound more, and others weighing first and trimming afterward. Marketing should be done in person. To this rule there is no exception. It is for the purchaser herself to see whether the chops be large or small, the slice of ham of the proper cut and thickness and what the proportion of waste in the piece of meat she is purchasing. It is too much to expect of a busy marketman, who has hundreds of customers, to put himself in the place of such a customer and give her exactly what she would have selected herself. The only sure way of getting exactly what is best for each particular family is for the housekeeper herself to inspect and select the meat and see it cut off. As to the purchasing of pieces of meat which will answer for more than one dinner, such as roasts, it should be found from experience just how many pounds are needed for the two or three meals to be supplied, and that much always purchased. It is sometimes economy to buy a large cut of meat. A small roast costing 60 or 75 cents might be enough for only one dinner, where a larger one, costing $1, would furnish meat for two dinners at an average cost of 50 cents, a saving worth while. it has been found better economy by experienced cooks and caterers to plan the left-overs in this way than to buy whatever the marketman offers, and then utilize any left-overs there may be. The same rule applies to chicken or any other sort of meat. Idaho Has a Seaport.

Fort Morgan, Colo.—G. M. Patterson, present mayor, was re-elected. Cheyenne, Wyo.—R. N. Lafontaine was re-elected mayor over Peter S. Cook by 185 majority, receiving 1,249 votes to Cook's 1,064. Enos Laughlin and John A. Martin were elected commissioners. Republicans made gains in four states in the elections held Tuesday. They added a governor in Massachusetts, made general gains in New Jersey and Kentucky and won an additional congressman in New York. Maryland returns indicated that the Democrats had gained a governor. The voters of the Empire State gave suffrage emphatic denial in the voting A majority of well over 200,000 New Yorkers voted against the proposed amendment to the state constitution to this end. At the same time they defeated even more unecucivally the proposal to adopt a new state constitution. The vote against this measure was estimated to be at least 250,000. Republicans retained their majority in the assembly, naming 98 of the 150 members. They also won all the congressional elections, made necessary by deaths in three districts—the Twenty-sixth, Thirty-first and Thirty-sixth. Pennsylvania administered another severe defeat in the aspirations of women to exercise suffrage. The majority against this measure was estimated at 150,000. The Republicans elected a mayor of Philadelphia—Thomas B. Smith. The voters of Massachusetts denied women the right to vote by a majority of 132,602. Samuel W. McCall (Republican) defeated Gov. David L Walsh (Democrat) in the race for the governorship. Mr. Walsh was seeking re-election for a third term. It was apparent also that the Republicans had elected the whole of the state ticket below governor. The Republicans, furthermore, gained twelve seats in the Legislature. The Progressive vote in the state was almost negligible, but the Prohibition candidate for governor got a comparatively heavy vote. Democrats Elect Maryland Governor. In Maryland, another state electing a governor, incomplete returns indicated a Democratic victory. E. C. Harrington was leading the Republican nominee, O. E. Weller, by a margin which indicated a final majority of from 5,000 to 7,000. The county vote was very late, Albert C. Ritchie (Democrat) for attorney general was far ahead of the ticket in Baltimore and the Legislature doubtless will be Democratic. Prohibition measures were voted upon in Ohio and Virginia. The returns from the first state showed the defeat of the measure by a majority of about 40,000, while Virginia, on the other hand, elected a state Legislature pledged to enact measures in 1916 prohibiting the sale of intoxicants. In New Jersey the next House of the Assembly will have thirty-seven Republicans and twenty three Democratic members.

It is always well in sowing seeds in boxes to sift the top layer. Make four trenches the length of the box. Place seeds in trenches and cover. Before watering cover with a cloth. A strip torn from a coarse linen towel is good. Water thoroughly. The cloth will prevent the water from washing out the seeds the first time you dampen them and subsequently will prevent rapid evaporation. Don't neglect the potted plants; water well and shade from the afternoon sun. When shade is recommended, darkness or dense shade are not meant. All plants require a good light. Many plants will bear strong skylight that would be badly damaged if set in strong sunshine. For potted plants that must have sunshine, set the pots in a jardiniere.

Root geranium slips now, if you want winter bloomers. Keep growing thrifly and pinch off all buds. Do not make the mistake of rooting for winter bloomers plants that bloom only in summer. Some geraniums bloom more freely than others. Plants that are not growing need no fertilizer. Large pots for foliage. Small pots for flowers. Plenty of sunshine for geraniums. If soil in the bulb pot in the cellar seems dry, moisten moderately, but don't keep wet or the bulb will rot. Work every day to keep the plants comfortable. They are like children.

ROSE HOUSE PLANTS If possible, set the box where it will have bottom heat for three or four days, and be sure to keep moist, when, if your seeds were fresh, you will find the rows all cracked open and the green seed leaves peeking out. Remove cover and take away from heat immediately. Place in a strong light. These directions you will find applicable to all small seeds, vegetable as well as flower. Never forget to water, however, and keep covered with cloth until removed to the window. Do not let them grow long stems. Spindling seedlings are a calamity. When the plants have their fourth leaf, transplant to flat an inch apart each way. These transplantings cause a wonderful root development, which tells later in the quality of bloom. Leave fuchsias in the cellar until March. Be ready for the cold days. They are at hand. Keep window garden clean. Remove dead leaves, scrub pots, shower foliage. Keep window glass clean. MAKING MOST OF THE PHLOX By L. M. BENNINGTON Nearly everyone can grow phlox and have what is regarded as great success, yet few, even among professional gardeners know how to coax the greatest growth and beauty out of this plant. Hardy phlox can be transplanted at any time, preferably in the fall or early spring, by dividing old clumps, or they can be grown from seeds planted very shallow as soon as they are ripe. When allowed to become dry they are more or less disappointing in germination, so that we may say that division is the best method. If string divisions are taken early in April and planted about 15 or 18 inches apart and the tops are pinched back when about 4 inches high to make them spread and not more than two or three growths are allowed, they will give a very large head of bloom with a maximum of florets. Give clean culture and an occasional dressing of manure or manure water. By this method of culture the phlox becomes an exceptional flower when compared with the big clumps that most people allow to grow. To get best results they should be planted new each fall or spring and give plenty of water while in bloom. When big masses of plants are desired, about one-third of the stems should be pinched back. This will produce a much longer season of blooming. SOME TIMELY HINTS In grafting, the greatest care should be observed that scions are not taken from trees infested with San Jose scale or that are in any way diseased. Do not set out evergreens in the fall. Have them delivered as early in the spring as possible and make the ground ready now. In order to obtain the largest blooms on your chrysanthemum plants, pick off all but the large central bud and do it as soon as the buds begin to show. After the drain tile has been put in, crushed rock, gravel or coal cinders will keep the ground in good condition. Do not be in a hurry to mulch the strawberry beds. Wait until a good stiff freeze comes along. After the bees have been safely housed in a dry cellar, with the bottoms of the hives resting on pieces about two inches thick, do not disturb them until spring. GET RID OF THEM House plants that are buggy and shaggy and refuse to improve should be thrown out. They are an eyesore. Better demolish the window garden than to rack nature with the victims of ignorance or neglect EXPANDING PROSPERITY MANY INDICATIONS THROUGH OUT STATE OF COLORADO. Denver Has Net Gain of Thirty-two Families in Month and Other Cities Have Grown. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver—There are many indications of expanding prosperity in Denver and the state. Transfer companies moving families into Denver report that 157 families came to Denver last month, and 125 moved out, making a net gain for the month of thirty-two families. Estimates of population just completed by the Bureau of Census in Washington show Denver to have a population of 253,161, an increase of 39,780 since the census of 1910. Other cities in the state of more than 8,000 that show material increases are Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Greeley, Pueblo and Trinidad. Increased prosperity in the mining regions is shown in the fact that the Colorado Power Company is furnishing 20 per cent more current in the mining regions than ever before. The unusually sunny weather and the deferred frost has doubled the anticipated yield of potatoes in the Greeley district, and has matured the corn crop and largely increased other crops, including the content of the sugar beet over the expectation thirty days ago. Railroad prosperity is indicated in the fact that every available engine on the Trinidad division of the Colorado & Southern is in use. Reports from Salida on the third division of the Denver & Rio Grande show that freight of all kinds is increasing and that all crews are working. Heavy stock shipments are being made from practically every stock raising center in the state. The number of telephones now in use in Denver has increased from 37,100 to 41,600 since Jan. 1, 1914, another gratifying indication of prosperity. Telephone collections are better than at any time since 1912. Many Accidents Under New Law. Denver. — Charles W. O'Donnell, chief of the claim department of the State Industrial Commission, reported that since the beginning of the enforcement of the workmen's compensation insurance law there had been 3,275 accidents in industrial concerns, carrying workmen's insurance in stock companies or at their own risk and that there had been 162 accidents in concerns protected by the state insurance fund. The total number of claims upon which compensation will be paid is estimated at 324. There were twenty-five deaths. Adjustments have been closed on 1,839 accidents. Compensation has been paid in eighteen cases. J. S. McGinnis Quits State Board. Denver.—J. Stanley McGinnis, secretary of the State Board of Immigration, tendered his resignation, to take immediate effect. Following the appointment of H. U. Wallace of Boulder as the third member of the board, the members met and organized, planning the work which they will carry on during the year. Of the $15,000 appropriated for the board, $9,000 was set aside to pay off back claims against the bureau which have been pending in some instances for nearly a year. The remaining $6,000 will be used in a constructive campaign to encourage immigration. Medical Bill Case Record Presented. Denver:—That the Supreme Court will be called upon to determine whether the medical practice act passed by the last Legislature is subject to the referendum is indicated by the filing of a record of the case as heard before Judge Butler in the Denver District Court. Judge Butler overruled Secretary of State Ramer, who had refused to accept the referendum petition on the bill, and decided that the measure should be referred. WILL Wipe Out Colorado's Debt. Denver.—The state of Colorado will be able to pay all its debts and at the end of the present administration's term, a year from January, have $125,000 left, according to Harry E. Mulnix, state auditor, following a meeting of the state auditing board. The administration, he said, would pay all new bills contracted and appropriation bills and practically $97,000 worth of former administrations. State Will Sue Cheesman Heirs. Denver.—A claim for $10,524.06 will be filed against the estate of the late Walter S. Cheesman of Denver by State Inheritance Tax Appraiser Leslie Hubbard, who charges that this amount was due the state as interest, but never paid, when a settlement of the inheritance tax against the estate was effected June 3, 1912, after five years of litigation. Colorado Made Goods for Carlson Denver.—"You fellows give me a list of goods made in Colorado and I will tack that list up in the kitchen and whenever we want anything, Mrs. Carlson and I will buy Colorado made goods." Governor Carlson ended an address before the Colorado Manufacturers' Association in the above language and it was fully five minutes before the cheering ceased. The governor was discussing the results that will come from all the people in Colorado buying Colorado-made goods. Keep your heart open to the pleasures of generosity. Economy and prudence will put it in the power of the generous to give.

GOOD EATING. We may tire of various dishes, but breads are the standard which will always have a wet come; here is a new one: Honey Bread.—Dissolve one yeast cake in one cup of scalded and cooled milk, then add one Honey Bread.—Dissolve one yeast cake in one cup of scaled and cooled milk, then add one half a cupful of butter, a tablespoonful of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt, one beaten egg and three cupfuls of flour; beat three minutes; add more flour to knead; let stand to rise. Knead again, roll out and spread with half a cupful of walnut meats chopped, a cupful of honey and a quarter of a cupful of raisins chopped, all well mixed before spreading. Then roll and place in a pan to rise; bake in a moderate oven. Tea Cakes.—To a cupful of scalded milk add four tablespoonfuls of butter, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a teaspoonful of salt; when lukewarm add a yeastcake dissolved in two tablespoonfuls of cold milk, one egg beaten, and three cupfuls of flour. Cover and let rise until double its bulk; cut down, rise again, then fill muffin pans two-thirds full. Let rise and bake in a hot oven. Waldorf Oysters.—Peel and cut in thin slices half of a Spanish onion, fry brown in a tablespoonful of butter. Stir in a tablespoonful and a half of curry powder and another tablespoonful of butter. Pour on gradually a cupful of broth, cover and let come to a boil. Peel and chop a small sour apple and grate half a cocanut. Put into the pan with the other ingredients and cook until the cocanut is tender. Mix a tablespoonful of flour with a little stock, add to the mixture; season with salt and pepper and cook five minutes. Put a cupful of strained tomato into a saucepan with fifty oysters, their liquor and half of the milk of the cocanut. Simmer until the oysters are curled. Add to the first mixture with a tablespoonful of lemon juice, then turn the curry on to a hot dish, garnish with croutons and serve with a separate dish of boiled rice. It can never be too early or too late to encourage the habit of observation; nor can we ever become too wise to be taught by influences which all created things are designed to exert upon the mind. SEASONABLE DISHES. Oysters are now on the market, and though expensive for a daily diet will be most welcome as an occasional dish. Poached Oysters on the Half Shell.—Butter as many scallop shells as there are individuals to serve; put into each shell six oysters with their own liquor, sprinkle with salt and pep- be most welcome as an occasional dish. Poached Oysters on the Half Shell.—Butter as many scallop shells as there are individuals to serve; put into each shell six oysters with their own liquor, sprinkle with salt and pepper, paprika, tomato catchup and a drop or two of tabasco sauce. Put a few bits of butter here and there on the oysters and set the shells in a dripping pan, then into a hot oven. Serve as soon as the oysters look plump and the edges are curled. Toast points or brown bread and butter sandwiches will be good to serve with these. Set the shells on paper doilies on plates to serve. Baked Whitefish, Oyster Sauce.—Split the fish and lay open with the skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper, and place in a baking pan on a bed of diced pork. Bake in a quick oven, brushing it over once or twice with beaten egg and milk while cooking. Just before serving cover with buttered crumbs and bake until brown. Serve with oyster sauce. Oyster Sauce.—Parboil a cupful of oysters in their own liquor, drain off this liquor into a cup and fill the cup with cream. Make of this a white sauce, season well with salt, pepper and celery salt, pouring a little of this over the fish, send the remainder to the table in a bowl to be served with it. Creamed Fish Flakes on Toast.—Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add two of flour and mix well, then add a cupful of milk and a few dashes of red pepper. Add a can of fish flakes and let stand over the heat while toast is being prepared. Butter crisp rounds of toast and dip the edges in boiling water, then pour over the fish sauce.

THE FLOWER An exquisite afternoon gown combining crepe, Georgette, taffeta and chiffon, all in the color known as wistaria, might be just as pretty developed in others of the fashionable colors. But it could not be prettier. In a season when one is almost be wildered by the diversity of style here is a gown to swear by. It is excellent in lines and composition and it is adorably refined. The moderately wide skirt is laid in plaits about the waist at the sides and back, with the front left plain. The plaits are not stitched down, except at the waist line, where the skirt is joined to a plain blouse of chiffon. A very wide border of taffeta, finished with a three-inch hem, is set on at the bottom. Above this, at an interval of three inches, a second band of taffeta appears. It is about four inches wide and finished with a narrow machine-stitched hem at each edge. The sleeves of chifon are cut full at the top and narrowed from the elbow down. They are long and close fitting about the wrist, terminating in Something New in Neckwear L In neckwear the introduction of black velvet or black satin, with sheer white fabrics, has brought about some very beautiful novelties. Many of these are in the effect of the choker collars, like those so fashionable on coats and cloth gowns. Others open at the front in a narrow V, like those shown in the picture. The high-necked models give opportunity for a becoming management of lines to adapt the collars to either the long or short neck. In one model, called the "Brinkley," in honor of the famous Nell, there is a high collar of black satin laid in irregular folds and wired to stay in place. It is lengthened into points at the front, and these points extend below the line of the neck. This satin band opens at the front in a V, in which the points do not quite meet at the bottom. It overlaps a crushed band of very sheer organdie which extends across the front space. A full jabot of the organdie, with woven-in border and hemstitched edges, is set on to this band. It falls in an especially charming cascade from the base of the high collar. Another high collar, with jabot attached, employs black velvet ribbon with organdie. A wide band of or --- a small shaped cuff piped at the end with the taffeta. A narrow taffeta band combine, them at the wrist, and they wrinkle along the arm in a way that is very soft and pleasing to the eye. The collar is a band of taffeta embellished with a simple pattern in embroidery. This embroidery reappears on the over-bodice of taffeta at the waist line. The over-bodice is a seamless model which fastens at the back, where it narrows to a wide girdle with ends that make soft, hanging loops. Its edges are finished with a narrow piping of the taffeta. No gown could present more useful features to the needlewoman who is considering the remodeling of a last year's dress. Narrow skirts may be cut up into borders and bandings to use on the crepe or satin or light wool fabric for this year's skirt. And from last year's bodice, by one of the several jumper patterns to be had of pattern companies, an over-bodice for this year's gown may be made. L gandie has pointed tabs with hem stitched edges set on at the front and back, at its upper edge. The lower edge is finished with a narrow hem stitched hem. The band, above the hem, is laid in fine plaits. A band of velvet ribbon is sewed along the top of the collar under the tabs. A plaited jabot falls from under its lower edge at the front. It is edged with an effective pattern in fillet lace, and is graduated in width to fall in a point extending nearly to the waist line. The collars pictured here are of or gandie finished in one case with hem stitching and in the other with both hemstitching and lace. They are so clearly set forth by the photograph that descriptions are not needed. Woolen Flowers Retain Favor. Woolen flowers, used by the milliners all summer on straws and linen and silk, are reappearing on velvet and felt and fur, and flatly applied conventionalized flowers of other materials are also liked.
