DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1907. THE NEGRO'S FUTURE IN AFRICA. Colored Minister Writes on the Race Problem. Present, Past and Future Training Will Compel Him to Seek Full Liberty Elsewhere If It Is Denied Him Here, Says Mt. Zion Pastor. By Rev. Dr. J. C. Reid, Sloux City. (Special to Bystander.) A permanent settlement of the race problem is inevitable, but not in a way expect. Providential government in human affairs has always played its part when all else has failed. In less than a century there will be no recognized race problem in America. Nature's struggle for harmony and peace cannot long bear the treacherous strain of an undercurrent race prejudice. The truth of the real situation must ultimately be acknowledged. The Negro was brought to this country by human force and providential sanction. He was in training over 200 years, learning the great lesson of humility, patience and long suffering, and for forty-four years he has been an apt student of American classics and other finishing touches of advanced civilization, preparatory to entering upon a still greater work. His future is not yet determined. - Not a Fixture. The Negro is not a fixture in American civilization. Two propositions must be reckoned with in the category of the silent dictations of unseen forces before the Negro can be assigned to his proper destiny. It does not remain for the Negro, to say whether he shall or shall not return to Africa. The Jews were contented in Egypt under Pharaoh's rule for 400 years, and left because of providential intervention. Why? Because their time had come to make history as a distinct race. The magic finger of Jehovah points the Negro to the sun dial of Africa. Perpetual persecution is a sign. Lack of representation in our legislative bodies is a sign. A constant misconception of the Negro's ambition for social equality, as he is being educated, is a sign. A general misunderstanding of his aims and object in life is a sign. There are over 250,000,000 Negroes to be civilized in Africa. Whose work is this? Is it the work of the white man, or the work of the enlightened American Negro? This work must be done, even if God must drag every Negro from American soil. It is his work. There are many barriers against this proposition. Continental Europe is about to swallow up the entire African continent, but the hand of providence here will play a fine part in making room for the civilization of the Negro by those of his kind. Racial segregation will bring results, as has been the universal rule since the world's inception. Any other race but the Negro can lay full claim to American citizenship. If 300 years' sojourn will not warrant the rights of a citizen he must confess his pilgrimage. The Negro cannot remain in America an alien. His present, past and future training will compel him to seek full liberty elsewhere if it is persistently denied him in his country of compulsory adoption. The signs of the times points to Africa. The Other Side. The other side of this intricate question is just as serious as the proposition discussed. There are five southern states with a Negro population exceeding that of the whites. In less than 100 years there will be a ratio of increase of the Negro population, with numerical strength sufficient to control nine states of the Mason and Dixon line. Will the mighty band of providence compel the haughty souththerer to suffer the black sain of mongrelization? For the sake of making all men brothers in fact, will God humble the pride of those who claim to worship from the same shrive as the Negro? The future points to an amalgamated south, if time and figures ought. Not because it is desired by either race, but because the divine in junction, "He that humbleth himself shall be exalted," and "He that exaltes himself shall be abased," shall be brought to pass. All the Negro asks at this time is to be let alone, and treated with the same courtey, when deserved, as any other man. He believes in the law of intermarriage because it protects God's noblest purpose, not because of his desire to take advantage of white Christians who possessed enough of justice and honor of God to make such a law. Frederick Douglass made the mistake of doing this lawful act of intermarriage, but it was not expedient. Treat the Negro right, and watch the signs of providence. Tetter, Salt Rheum and Eczema Are cured by Chamberlain's Salve. One application relieves the itching and burning sensation. "I am now 20 years old, and not until about eight months ago was I able to read ordinary print. When I was 5 years old I had the messies, which left my eyes almost blind. My parents tried in vain for fifteen years to get help for me, but never succeeded until I heard of Dr. Lew Arntz, of Des Moines, Iowa, whom I consulted, and had to fit my eyes with glasses and I could not see. I was also see at a distance the same as other people. My parents tried all kinds of remedies for me when I was a child, but at last gave up in despair, as a specialist informed them when I was about 8 years old that nothing could be done, as my eyes contained practically no sight. The most regret is that I had no chance to get an education because I could not see to read." BERTHA LARSON."

WALKER SHOE CO. 613 WALNUT STREET UNION STORE TRADING STAMPS NOMINATED FOR MAYOR Kansas City, March 13.—Joshua Walece Voohies, a Negro, has filed a petition with the city clerk of Kansas City, Kan., signed by 578 members of his race, asking that his name be placed on the ballot for mayor on the Independent ticket. Asked how he happened to enter the mayoralty race, Voohies said: "It was an unexpected honor. Wednesday night there was an ice cream social. I was asked to speak. When I finished some one got up and read a petition signed by about 2,000 voters asking me to make the race. I could not disappoint my friends, so I accepted." "Do you expect to win?" was asked of Voohies. "Sure I do. Wouldn't have entered the race if I hadn't. No man ever lost yet that I backed for office. I can push myself the same way." Voobies was born a slave in Nashville, Tenn., just before the close of the civil war. He came to Kansas City, Kan., eighteen years ago. He has been in the shoe business, a member of the police force, a deputy street commissioner, a janitor and at present he operates a restaurant. He is a member of the Nogro Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias.—The Record-Herald. MOLINE GLEANINGS. Revival services begin at St. Paul's A. M. E church Sunday evening.

Throughout the middle west, as in other parts of the country, athletic conditions in the high schools, colleges and universities had reached a state of disgrace and sordid arrogance, when, two years ago, a conference of the governing boards of nine of the leading institutions of the interior took the matter under consideration. They found high-school boys who had been induced to leave school a year or two ahead of time in order to enter some college which was willing to smooth the intellectual pathway in return for athletic services. Professionalism was rife, and not only winked at, but almost openly encouraged; and rivalry was so keen that even middle-aged professors found their relations with professors in other colleges strained by the hostile feeling between the undergraduates. The desire to win, and the hope of making money by winning, had killed the true spirit of the sport. The governing boards of the nine colleges which met, to consider the matter took radical steps. Professionalism was prohibited by the most stringent regulations, all contests between certain of the fiercest rivals were discontinued, and a uniform date for beginning training in the fall was fixed. The new rules have now had a year's trial, with the result of clearing the air and establishing college athletics upon a saner and more wholesome footing. A second conference was lately held to consider possible changes in the rules. Although great pressure was brought by some of the student bodies, the members of the athletic conference committee stood firm. Only one change was made. The rule fixing a uniform date for beginning practice was rescinded. Even that may be restored. The colleges of the middle west, therefore, says Youth's Company, are to have another year of cleanliness and decency and manliness in sport; another chance to learn that to win is not the main object of athletics among gentlemen, but that "the game's the thing." We incline to believe that the capital punishment idea, whether it be right or wrong in any conceivable case, is likely to be done away with in time, although that time is evidently not yet, says the Lowell (Mass.) Courier. The gradual whitening away of death penalties can have escaped no one, of course, and the chances are that even the taking of human life, deliberately and with malice prepense, may one day be punished without exacting the extreme penalty, even where it might seem that no less penalty fitted the crime. Humanity, whether right or wrong, is coming to revolt from it. Juries are harder and harder to secure. Death sentences, even when rendered in strict accord with law, commonly meet with a storm of public protest. Murders do not decrease, is it not, on the whole, likely that in time the death penalty will be still further decreased until it ultimately disappears through the vanishing point, save perhaps in military cases of the most outrageously treasonable kind? Prof. Henderson of the University of Chicago said to his class recently: "Chicago is a large city, like Peking, but it is not great. People live here only until they can go to New York, London or Paris on their way to heaven." That is almost as bad as what Jack London said of this city on his return to England. "Chicago," he said, "is a sort of cross between a civilized city and a western mining camp, except that things are done in Chicago every day with impunity for which in a mining camp a man would be shot on sight. Both of these critics may be right, but, remarks the Chicago Chronicle, it may not be amiss to inquire whether the University of Chicago is great or only large A Persian prince who is travelling in this country says he is too bus to think about matrimony. If he is required to do as his illustrious relative, the late shah, did and take unto himself 80 wives, he cannot be blamed for postponing the thing as long as possible. A spiritualistic medium says Mars is angry because her signals are being ignored by the earth. Business must be dull on Mars when she goes so far out of her way to pick a quarrel with her neighbors. A link with the past has lately been broken. The dowager Countess de la Peyrouse de Boufels, who died in Alxen-Provence the other day, was the goddaughter of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Milwaukee is trying to decide upon a suitable device for its city seal, which leads the Cleveland Leader to ask how a clove would do. Connecticut brings forward a planis, who is absolutely deaf. This seems to be taking an unfair advantage. ( ) IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. GRAFT IS CHARGED. Cass County Supervisor Charged With Malfeasance. Atlantic.—Charges of malfaessance in office have been preferred against Supervisy. H. C. Hollen by County Attorney Goodspeed, the latter having filed his original notice. The petition will be filed in the course of a day or two, and in it the supervisor will be accused, says Goodspeed, of doubling his charges against the county for committee work, of charging been service had been rendered, and of other offences of a similar nature. Hollen, who is aware of the attack the county attorney is making, denies that he has willfully grafted and asserts that any errors which may be found are accidental. Atlantic is discussing the news with intense interest, for the seriousness of the charges and the widespread acquaintance of the men gives the extraordinary import. Hollen appeared before his associates on the board of supervisors and demanded the appointment of a committee of inquiry. The county attorney at once entered a vigorous protest, and said that the board was not the proper judge of the question. Hollen is a resident of Victorian township and is a man of 50 years of age, who has always borne a good sense. His accuser is a younger man about 30 years old. Goodspeed was last fall re-elected to office. He is an alumnus of the state university. FEVER ISOLATES GIRLS. Simpson College Beset By Scarlet Fever Indianaola. With the invasion of scarlet fever into the woman's dormitory of Simpson college, the quarantining of sixty girls, the departure of other students to their homes, Simpson college and the city of Indianaola were thrown into a condition of anxiety and alarm. Ethel McDermott of Bridgewater, Ia., who is rooming at the ladies' dormitory, was taken ill and the dormitory was quarantined. About sixty girls were roaming at the dormitory and over a hundred boarders take their meals there. A meeting of the board of trustees was called and they are endeavoring to secure a place to move Miss McDermott to, after which the dormitory will be fumigated and augment up again. The term closes March 27 and it is hoped that the anxiety will be over by the opening of the spring term. President Eldred Shelton, with Eldred Shelton been abroad on a year's leave of absence, has landed in the United States, and will be here to resume his duties March 25. EDITOR IN FIGHT. A. R.

Dubuque—Archbishop Keane won a notable victory in the saloon fight when the majority of the saloonists signed the Sunday closing proposal. The union agreed to this proposition in a meeting of a few days ago, but many of the liquor men who signed the agreement of the union. All saloonmen south of Eighth street, where most of the liquor places are located, are willing to accue to the request, providing the anti-saloon element do not enforce the other provision of the mulet law. Archbishop Keane has been waging a relentless fight on the saloons of Dubuque, who were running wide open, and secured the services of the mayor and leading citizens of the city to aid him in his crusade.

Judge Withew said that his own opinion was that Grimes was the instigator of the crime and if this was true, he would inflict the death penalty, but that he was not firmly convinced of it.

Each time the father died. Porter is now married and the father of two children. THREE BADLY HURT. Blazing Gasoline is Thrown Over Men Marce. Atlantic—H. A. Smith of Walnut and Bert Hammond and Henry Turk of Marne, were probably fatally injured by blazing oil which was thrown over them, the large railroad bridge at Marne over Camp creek was burned to ashes. The home of Mayor Lasine of Marne was almost totally destroyed and all the cebirs of seventeen cars in the ditch burned as the result of the explosion of a 20,000 gallon tank of gasoline in the creek under the bridge. Fast train No. $3 went in the ditch at Marne as the result of a broken truck on one of the freight cars, and cars cars cars were thrown into the ditch. Among them was one large tank of gasoline and a partial tank of oil. These were in the ditch, and oil men had been employed to the merchandise that was strewed around the track from the wreck. Later a turk. Turk of Marne went down to work and at what he thought a safe distance from the oil started to light his lantern. The air was filled with gas which ignited and communicated to the tank that at once exploded with a terrific report that was heard for miles. Turk and the other two men standing near were at once enveloped in flames and so tally burned that death is thought probable. The bridge was burned to ashes, and upon the fire that flew a hundred feet in the air, set fire to the home of Mayur Lastine. The Marne fire department could do nothing with the burning oil that extended in a veritable burning lake for rods in each direction, and turned their attention to the houses in the vicinity with partial success. The injured men were attended to at once, but little hope is entertained for their recovery. All traffic on the Rock Island was tied up here until the bridge could be repaired. HAD POCKETS LINED. Palmer Must Have Taken $3,000 Cash In Last Week Des Moines - Evidence has come to light which indicated that the greater part of the peculiations of Ralph Palmer, the Milwaukee ticket agent, occurred the last week of his stay in the service of the company. It devalued Palmer had not turned in a cent of the office receipts since March 1 up to the day of his disappearance, a week later. The collections during that week amounted to probably $3,000, and Palmer left only $400 in the safe. It is believed that he had from $2,560 to $3,000 on his person just prior to his departure, and if this theory proves true it is probable that he prepared to go to some far-off country, leaving the impression behind that he had commissed February 1, it is said now, and were induced, it is believed, by Palmer being forced to make good his shortage with the Hamburg-American Steamship company.

Davenport.—Although Judge Ballinger has not rendered his decision, it is generally understood he will decide in favor of the Davenport Academy of Science and against the state of Iowa in brought to collect a 5 percent inheritance tax on the $400,000 bequest by the late W. C. Putnam in trust to the Putnam memorial fund for the benefit of the Davenport Academy of Science. All points claimed by Attorney Ficke & Ficke for the academy have been sustained by the court.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when now, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundered would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Both Kent Busy.

Stood the Test. Allcock's Plasters have successfully stood the test of sixty years' use by the public; their virtues have never been equaled by the unscrupulous imitators who have sought to trade upon their reputation by making plasters with holes in them, and claiming them to be "just as good as Allcock's." Allcock's plasters stand to-day indorsed by not only the highest medical authorities, but by millions of grateful patients who have proved their efficacy as a household remedy. Tin Used In United States. The total consumption of tin in the United States for 1906 was 42,500 tons, with 2,132 tons in stock at the close of the year. The shipments from Bolivia show an increase of 3,000 tons, from Cornwall an increase of from 700 to 1,000 tons and from Australia an increase of 1,000 tons, making the total European and American supply for the year about 92,550 tons. Launz, work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes.

In the old colony town of Schultze, Mass., once lived Deacon J —, who had a joke of oxen he desired to sell. The news reached the ears of Farmer T —, who lived in another portion of the town, who was in want of a pair. So he visited the deacon, who met him with a gracious smile and led him to the oxen, which were chewing their cuds and to all appearances ready for any amount of toil. After some bargaining a difference of five dollars remained. Finally the deacon said: "I am old and feeble, and shall not live long, and five dollars will be of no account," so the bargain was made. Farmer T — took the oxen home. They proved worthless, could not work, and had been heated. He felt provoked at being sold, and, seeing a person the next day who was going to the part of the town where the deacon lived, said: "You tell Deacon J — he need not live another d — minute longer on my account."

Furnished' Entertainment for Crew Until Animal Will Killed To be attacked by a tiger was the thrilling experience of the crew of the Norwegian steamship Thorsdal, which arrived at Philadelphia recently, while that vessel was at Tampico, Mexico. After a terrible fight with the animal it was killed, and its skin is now on board the Thorsdal. It was midnight when the anchor watch saw appearing over the rail the two bright eyes of the huge animal. The man ran to the mate's room and informed him what he had seen. The mate concluded the man had been drinking, and when he ordered him back to his post the seaman rushed into the room of Capt. Malson, master of the ship. The captain came on deck and saw the tiger. He summoned the hands, and armed with revolver, they made an attack on infiltrated animal and killed it. Had it not been for the fact that the tiger got caught between an improvised hatch it probably would have killed several of the crew. When imprisoned in this position five of the men began firing bullets into the animal's head. The country about Tampico is infected with wild animals, and it is thought the tiger was crossing the stream when it came against the slide of the Thorsdal. It came up the ladder, which was lowered over the slide. The animal was an unusually large one and handsomely marked. THREE BOYS HAD ECZEMA.

Although it is with reluctance that I prepare to lose my grip at the exciting consciousness that I have to-day seen the most stupendous spectacle that it is possible for mortal brain to conceive—Asia advancing, Europe falling back; the wall of mist and the writing thereon." Then as to the meaning of this retreat of Europe before advancing Asia: "The more I think the more certain I am that the Japanese must meet or information, which won the battle of Liaoyang for Oyama, but that it was rather the souls of the Japanese troops which triumphed over the less developed, less awakened, less stimulated qualities of the Russians." TACK THIS JI. Simple Advice Which May Prove of Untold Value. At the first sign of Backache or pain in the region of the Kidneys, or weakness and Urinary trouble, the following simple prescription should be used: Fluid Extract Dandellon, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Any good prescription pharmacy will supply these three ingredients at small cost, which can easily be mixed by shaking well in a bottle.

Pain that seems almost unbearable is a characteristic of scatic rheumatism. In some cases the pain is knife-like, sharp or shooting; in others it is dull and aching. Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treatment and the patient frequently suffers for pain. This was the case with Harriet E. Spalding. A stubborn engineer sought assistance from Amel, New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railway, whose坐位 is at Longview, Texas. "While running an engine some years ago," he says, "I fell off and hurt my knee and spine and I have always considered this to be the cause of my success. The scatula of me from the back to the back of my head. The pain was the worst I ever suffered in my life and my leg and back were twisted out of shape. I was under a physician's care for several months and for six months I got out of bed to Hot Springs back in a worse condition than when I went. "It was when I was down in bed that I heard of the case of a Mr. Allison, a much older man than myself, who had been cured of sclerical by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I began the pills and soon was able to go back to the house and see six boxes I can able to work about the house and yard. I kept right on with the pills until I was cured and I have never had any return of the trouble. I have been running an engine ever since."

ALTON BONDS THE CAUSE Cullom Declares Valuation of all Railroads Should Be Under-taken Simultaneously. Washington, D. C., March 22.—Senator Shelby M. Cullen of Illinois commanded attention yesterday when he came out of the White house and declared he had told President Roosevelt that if he had his way he would put E. H. Harriman in the pentitary for his action in connection with the $32,000,000 bond issue of the Chicago & Alton. He said Governor Deneen was considering beginning proceedings to invalidate this bond issue. Senator Cullen indicated that he thought President Roosevelt felt about as he did. Discussing railroad matters generally, Senator Cullom thought a valuation of all records should be made if a proper system could be devised. On this he said: "I believe a valuation of roads should be made providing any proper system of doing it can be devised. We had the subject up in the inter-commission committee a few days before the college was brought up by the La Follette bill. But it was impossible so late in the session to do anything with it. In the first place it will cost a lot of money. In the next place, unless valuation is made practically at once the cost will worthless owing to the fluctuation of railroad values, improvements and the like. To make a valuation in a half dozen states this year and a half a dozen states next would be useless. At the same time I think if a proper valuation be made, it should be done. I have been told this subject will be considered by congress next session." TO PROVE THAW CRAZY. Jerome Presents Affidavits in Support of Succession. New York. March 22.—District Attorney Jerome yesterday presented to Justice Fitzgerald eight affidavits in support of the suggestion he made yesterday in the case of Harry K. Thaw that the defendant is now in such a state of lenency or insanity as to be incapable of understanding the proceedings against him or making his defense.

The jury having been excused until this morning at 10:30, there will be a brief session at that time and a formal adjournment until Monday morning will be announced. By Monday, Justice Fitzgerald is ready to be ready to announce his decision. District Attorney Jerome pleaded yesterday for permission to examine Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton orally, but in the absence of a waiver of professional privilege the part of his testimony that Fitzgerald he would not allow the doctor to be examined further at this time. Justice Fitzgerald added significantly that he would take judicial notice of everything which had been adduced in evidence during the nine weeks of his testimony, and that he was member, on Wednesday testified that in his opinion Lion is not at present capable of directing his defense. This question was put to Dr. Hamilton by Attorney Gleason of the defense, and Mr. Jerome now contended that he was the matter of professional privilege. Mr. Jerome's affidavit submitted yesterday embraced the opinion of his seven experts who have heretofore testified and a statement by Irvin S. Cobb, a newspaper reporter, who has been questioned. Mr. Jones issued at the conclusion of Mr. Jerome's long and severe cross-examination of his wife. COMBINE AGAINST NARCOTIC. United States Proposes Joint Action With Great Britain in Far East. Washington, D. C., March 22—In explanation of the American proposition for joint action between the United States and Great Britain looking to the regulation of the opium traffic, to which reference was made yesterday in the British press, the state department that measures were adopted by the Philippine government calculated to terminate the onum smoking in the archipelago in a short term of years, but it was realized that to become effective regulations for suppression of opium traffic must extend into China. The department addressed the British government to ascertain how far it would be possible to proceed in making joint regulations. The British reply suggested creation of a general international commission to report some plan of combined action. It is believed that the commission will be invited to appoint commissioners. BLUEJACKETS WILL PROTECT. Plenipotentiaries May be sent to Order Cessation of Hostilities. Washington, D. C., March 22—Blue jackets and marines have been landed from the United States gunboat Marietta at Trucello and Celba and probably at Puerto Cortez, Honduras, in order to protect civilians in the war. Advises to this group were received today at the navy department from Commander Fullam of the Marietta, and they were at once transmitted to the state department. As yet no word has been received as to whether forces have been landed at Cessation or mortars on the side, but unobedient this step will be taken if American interests are considered in danger.

For five years I was fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get out of the house.

It furnishes a perfect background for all kinds of pictures, it throws them out in their correct proportions, and does not detract from their artistic value. The solid colored wall is also much better as a background for furniture, and harmonizes much more artistically with carpets and rugs than any other kind of treatment. The less breaking of color on a wall the more artistic it is. The most successful form of the solid colored wall is an alabastoned wall. There is as much difference between tinted walls, as there is between shoddy and all-wool gowns. The shoddy gown holds its color for a few days, while the all-wool keeps its color to the very last thread, so also in solid colored walls, there are shoddy walls and permanently colored walls which are shoddy. The last piece last particle. The ideal wall coating never rubs off, never flakes nor chips off and is always ready for a fresh coat. If there is wallpaper on the wall, soak it off with warm water, then go over the plaster after you have removed the paper with warm water to remove every trace of paste. Have the wall thoroughly clean for a clean wall cannot be built on an unclean foundation. If there are any particles of foreign matter adhering to the wall scrape them off with a brush, then wash the discolorations on the wall; size it with a material made from cheap warnish, thinned down with benzine and japan added for a drier, then cover your wall with your tinting material. Be sure your man uses a finting material mixed with cold water. If he comes to you and asks for warm water, you can make up your mind that there is glue in the material which he proposes to put on your wall, and you can be certain that you are going to have a shoddy wall, for glue means shoddy. Glue means that it will hold its color long enough for the man to collect his bill and not much longer. Insist on your finting material being mixed with clear, cold water. Be sure that your wall is made from pure materials, then you will have a permanent, artistic, sanitary wall. A wall that will be a "thing of beauty and a joy forever." The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none. - Carlyle. FOOLED THE PREACHER. A Doctor's Brother Thought Postum Was Coffee. A wise doctor found out coffee was hurting him, so he quit drinking it. He was so busy with his practice, however, that his wife had to write how he fooled his brother, a clergyman, one day at dinner. She says: "Doctor found coffee was injuring him and decided to give Postum a trial, and we have used it now four years, with continued benefit. In fact, he is now free from the long form of iills that follow coffee drinking. "To show how successful we are in making Postum properly I will relate an incident. At a dinner we gave, Doctor suggested we serve Postum instead of ordinary coffee. "Doctor's brother, a Clergymman, supposed it was old fashioned coffee and remarked, 'You should do it if you do not攀 against coffee, I see you haven't forgotten how to make it.'" This goes to show that well-made—fully bolled—Postum has much the flavor and richness of good coffee although it has an individuality all its own. A ten days' trial will prove that it has no a sense of the poisonous effect of ordinary coffee, but will correct the troubles caused by coffee. "There's a reason." Name furnished by Postum Co.

"When 'Bull Run' Russell, who died a short time ago, was with the German army in 1870 he reported a long interview with the crown prince (Fredrick), some expressions in which gave umbrage to Bismarck. Bismarck sent for him, lost his temper and said: "I suppose you could resist showing that you were a king, but that 'dunherd' confided to you?" Russell replied: "Your excellence kows that I always respect confidences; there is much that you have said to me yourself that I have not reported." Bismarck: "Poul! Anything I say to you you may have from the time of your reign, but I never lenes," said Russell. "I shall use that permission to record your opinion of the crown prince." City's Death Rate Reduced The London death rate is now nearly 30 per cent. lower than it was at the coming into operation of the public health act in 1891. In that year the death rate was 17.1; in 1905 it was 15.1 a thousand. WOMEN IN Experiences of Mrs. Ro MISS MARGARET TIERNEY A large proportion of the operations performed in our hospitals are upon women and girls for some organic trouble. Why should this be the case?

Of these symptoms the female condition of the female system and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation.
