REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The Republican party was conceived in the cradle of Liberty and honesty more than half a century ago. It was necessary in that trying period of the American Republic that a new party be born, pledged to cardinal principals of liberty, freedom, loyalty, honesty and equal justice to all men. Upon these principles the great Republican party was anchored and upon these fundamental tenents she has won her victories, fulfilling her promises and bringing a divided union into a united free people, and a prosperous nation of nearly 100,000,000 people. No other American political party can show such a marvelous record. There may be individuals and frequently men of high standing in the Republican party that have in the past deviated from these principles, have done wrong, but remember voters that individuals do not represent the party, and men will pass away but principles, if based upon justice will live forever. Thus it is we as citizens and voters should hold to the principles rather than the men, the principles of the Republican party has always been for the common people, and the Colored people, and the democratic party has always been against the Colored man and the common masses of the laboring people. For me give me the grand old party that has carried us well thus far, or give me something better, but not the democratic party no never.
I AM A REPUBLICAN FROM PRINCIPLE.
Be Honest to Yourself and Be What You Know You are--a full Fledge Republic.

Afro-Americans in Government Service
In a number of speeches William J. Bryan has said:
"The Afro-American has bestowed presidencies upon the Republican party and received janitorships in return."
The statement is absolute false. The Afro-American has received more recognition under the Roosevelt Administration than ever before in the history of this country. That the places have not been confined to janitorships will be seen by the following list showing the official position and occupations of Afro-Americans in the service of the United States Government:
Auditor of the Navy Department, assistant district attorneys, assistant librarians, architects, assistant postmasters, assistant weighers, attorneys, bookbinders, bookkeepers, boatmen, collectors of customs, collectors of internal revenue, consuls, chiefs of division, compositors, chaplains, custodians, cleaners, caster helper, clerks, counters, charwomen, carriage drivers, deputy collectors of customs, deputy collectors of internal revenue, deputy United States marshals, domestics and waiters, draughtsmen, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, examiners of merchandise, engineers, elevator conductors, folders, farmers, firemen, floor hands, gaugers, guards, heads of departmentnns, helpers, inspectors of customs, immigrant inspectors, imposers, jantors, letter carriers, laboratory assistant laborers, minister resident and consul general, musicians, messengers, messenger boys, machine operators, monotype keyboard operators, mimeograph operators, openers and packers, postmasiers, patent examiners, pressmen, press feeders, pay clerks, private secretaries, receivers of public monies, register of treasury, register of treasury, registers of lands offices, recorder of deeds, railway post clerks, rural delivery carriers, surveyor-general, superintendents of construction, samplers, shippers, stenographers and typewriters, storekeepers, skilled laborers, sewers, stablemen, teachers, translators, timekeepers wagon messengers, watchmen, wrappers, wagon drivers.
The highest salary paid an Afro-American is received by the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to Haiti, whose salary is $10,000 per annum. A number of government officials receive from $2,500 to $5,000 per year. Clerks are paid from $900 to $1,800.
The number of Afro-Americans in the service of the Government, exclusive of the Army and Navy, has more than doubled in the last four years of the Roosevelt Administration, and aggregate pay has increased from $3,000,000 in 1904 to $8,00,000 in 1908.

deaver to have other Negroes do the same. I think he is not a safe voter to follow. See the inconsistency of the Negro who denounces the Clansman, Tillman and Vardaman and jincrowism and disfranchisement of the Negro, and then come out and advise the Negro to vote for the Democratic party. It is time for us to be men and remember that those who will fight from principle will in the end win and even our enemies will respect us, the mare. Grant that the Republican party has made mistakes; will not the mistakes of the Democratic party exceed those of the Republican party? Can the party which has done so much for the good of humanity be held responsible for the mistake of one man? Then what shall we say of the mistakes of the many men of the Democratic party? I am a Republican from principle, and not to please Roosevelt, Taft or any other Republican. And I believe that the men who placed the man Taft in nomination for president of the United States did the thing that was best for the country at large and it is the duty of every member of that party to fall in line and stand by the grand old party that has done so much for the good of this the richest and most prosperous country in the world.
I think it the duty of every Negro to leave a heritage to his posterity of which he will not be ashamed and which will in nowise humiliate his posterity. Be honest to yourself and be what you know you are, a full fledge Republican and not a Democrat. If I am defeated I shall vote the Republican ticket, and live under the winning party until I can vote the Republican ticket again. Rise up and collect your forces and do not suffer yourself to be woodhunked by Bryanism, vote for Taft in November, for you can vote for Bryan anytime.
Watch the Bryanities who outwardly entrerts and persuades you to vote for Bryan but inwardly exclaims what fools ye Negroes ore.

DRED DISEASE
While sitting at home, serene and at ease,
The people were startled with snawful disease.
Which came in their midst with an ugly frow.
And speed its wings over country and town
it lurked about first here and there.
It seemed to nestle high in the air
Till down it came with an easy pace.
And seized its victims irrespective
of race.
Then the doctor came with the yellow flag,
With ointment and pills all tied in a bag,
Saying, take this, be patient, it won't be long,
Before you again can join in the throng.
As the flag thus floated and played in the breeze,
It seemed with its mission to be highly pleased.
pleased,
And said to troubles don't stop here,
The plague of men is in hiding near.
There hung that emblem till were tired.
Its folds and colors no more desired.
And there remained till twas clearly seen.
That the doctor said rais' the quarantine.
More Than Enough isTooMuch.
To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and d'sorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and not appetite control and take a few doses of Camberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and you will soon be all right again. For rate by all druggists.

REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The Republican party was conceived in the cradle of Liberty and honesty more than half a century ago. It was necesary in that trying period of the American Republic that a new party be born, pledged to cardinal principals of liberty, freedom, loyalty, honesty and equal justice to all men. Upon these principles the great Republican party was anchored and upon these fundamental tenents she has won her victories, fulfilling her promises and bringing a divided union into a united free people, and a prosperous nation of nearly 100,000,000 people. No other American political party can show such a marvelous record. There may be individuals and frequently men of high standing in the Republican party that have in the past deviated from these principles, have done wrong, but remember voters that individuals do not represent the party, and men will pass away but principles, if based upon justice will live forever. Thus it is as citizens and voters should hold to the principles rather than the men, the principles of the Republican party has always been for the common people, and the Colored people, and the democratic party has always been against the Colored man and the common masses of the laboring people. For me give me the grand old party that has carried us well thus far, or give me something better, but not the democratic party no never.
I AM A REPUBLICAN FROM PRINCIPLE.
Afro-Americans in Government Service.
In a number of speeches William J. Bryan has said:
"The Afro-American has bestowed presidencies upon the Republican party and received janitorships in return." The statement is absolute false. The Afro-American has received more recognition under the Roosevelt Administration than ever before in the history of this country. That the places have not been confined to janitorships will be seen by the following list showing the official position and occupations of Afro-Americans in the service of the United States Government:
Auditor of the Navy Department, assistant district attorneys, assistant librarians, architects, assistant postmasters, assistant weighers, attorneys, bookbinders, bookkeepers, boatmen, collectors of customs, collectors of internal revenue, consuls, chiefs of division, compositors, chaplains, custodians, cleaners, caster helpers, clerks, counters, charwomen, carrriage drivers, deputy collectors of customs, deputy collectors of internal revenue, deputy United States marshals, domestics and waiters, draughtsmen, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, examiners of merchandise, engineers, elevator conductors, folders, farmers, firemen, floor hands, gaugers, guards, heads of departmentnns, helpers, inspectors of customs, immigrant inspectors, imposers, jantlers, letter carriers, laboratory assistant laborers, minister resident and consul general, musicians, messengers, messenger boys, machine operators, monkey keyboard operators, mimeograph operators, openers and packers, postmasters, patent examiners, pressmen, press feeders, pay clerks, private secretaries, receivers of public monies, register of treasury, register of treasury, registers of lands offices, recorder of deeds, railway post clerks, rural delivery carriers, surveyor-general, superintendents of construction, samplers, shippers, stenographers and typewriters, storekeepers, skilled laborers, sewers, stablemen, teachers, translators, timekeepers wagon messengers, watchmen, wrappers, wagon drivers,
The highest salary paid an Afro-American is received by the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Penlipotentiary of the United States to Haiti, whose salary is $10,000 per annum. A number of government officials receive from $2,500 to $5,000 per year. Clerks are paid from $900 to $1,800. The number of Afro-Americans in the service of the Government, exclusive of the Army and Navy, has more than doubled in the last four years of the Roosevelt Administration, and aggregate pay has increased from $3,000,000 in 1904 to $8.0,0,000 in 1908.

dearow to have other Negroes do the same. I think he is not a safe voter to follow. See the inconsistency of the Negro who denounces the Clansman, Tillman and Vardaman and jimcrismow and disfranchisement of the Negro, and then come out and advise the Negro to vote for the Democratic party. It is time for us to be men and remember that those who will fight from principle will in the end win and even our enemies will respect us the mare.
Grant that the Republican party has made mistakes; will not the mistakes of the Democratic party exceed those of the Republican party? Can the party which has done so much for the good of humanity be held responsible for the mistake of one man? Then what shall we say of the mistakes of the many men of the Democratic party? I am a Republican from principle, and not to please Roosevelt, Taft or any other Republican. And I believe that the men who placed the man Taft in nomination for president of the United States did the thing that was best for the country at large and it is the duty of every member of that party to fall in line and stand by the grand old party that has done so much for the good of this the richest and most prosperous country in the world.
I think it the duty of every Negro to leave a heritage to his posterity of which he will not be ashamed and which will in nowise humiliate his posterity. Be honest to yourself and be what you know you are, a full fledge Republican and not a Democrat. If I am defeated I shall vote the Republican ticket, and live under the winning party until I can vote the Republican ticket again. Rise up and collect your forces and do not suffer yourself to be woodwindy by Bryanism, vote for Taft in November, for you can vote for Bryan anytime. Watch the Democrat Negro, who like the goddess of spring, appears on the scene to be known only for a moment.
Watch the Bryanities who outwardly entrerts and persuades you to vote for Bryan but inwardly exclaims what fools ye Negroes ore.

A Negro's Triumph. (Special to Bystander.)
A young Negro, William Hanley Braithwaite, poet and author, has earned the highest gratitude of the literary world and the Negro race by the publication of his recent book, "The Book of Elizabethian Verses," issued by Small Maynard & Co., of Boston, Mass. This book contains more than 800 pages of the rarest verses from more than a hundred poets of the Elizabethan age. Many an old favorite we meet again in this book and learn the author's name. The notes are sane clear and full bearing witness to the painstaking knowledge and literary judgement of the editor. This book the achievement of a Negro, deserves hearty appreciation and wide circulation among his people. It is a feather in the cap of Negro authorship. The book is now in its second edition.

DRED DISEASE
While sitting at home, serene and at ease,
The people were startled with snowful disease.
Which came in their midst with an ugly frow.
And speed its wings o'er country and town
With oiment and pills all tied in a bag,
Saying, take this, be patient, it won't be long,
Before you again can join in the throng.
As the flag thus floated and played in the breeze,
It seemed with its mission to be highly pleased,
And said to troubles don't stop here,
The plague of men is in hiding near.
There hung that emblem till were
tired,
Its folds and colors no more desired,
And there remained till it was clearly seen.
That the doctor said raises the quarantine.
More Than Enough IsTooMuch.
To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and d'sorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and not appetite control and take a few doses of Cnamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and you will soon be all right again.

appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Lixix of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading drugstores.
YOUNGSTER AN AFT PUPIL
Every Indication That Tommy would Be Successful Politician.
The children, especially Tommy, were very much interested in the game of politics, and father was delighted with their precocity. The other day there was more than the usual whooping in the playroom, and their mother found the two small children assailing Tommy vigorous," "What's the matter?" she asked "Tommy, what have you been doing?" "Nawhin: Only playing politics." "Well, but what did you do to the children?" "Just playing convention. We adopted the unit rule and I was chairman of the delegation. Then we introduced a resolution to decide whether they should take my apple or I should take theirs." "Woll!" "I cast the vote of the delegation." WOMEN PRETTIER TO-DAY.
Authorities on beauty agree that women of to-day, and chiefly middle-aged women, are far fresher, prettier and younger looking than were their mothers at the same age. The cause is plain. Present-day women, who have pride in their looks, give a few minutes each day to preserving their complexion against the ravages of wind, dust and age. It is strange how many women will still spend a half hour a day on their hair and not a minute on their complexions, aside from a hasty wash. Yet men and women notice one's complexion almost first of all. And unfortunate is the woman who has a sallow, muddy skin or wrinkles that make her seem an old woman, though still comparatively young, and devoted to their several times. To keep young women young and good-looking, and to a large extent make prematurely old women seem many years more youthful.

Fragments of an Interrupted Courtship
BY ANNIE T. ROTTER
The ragged pines of old Virginia had hardly settled themselves firmly in the soil of the confederacy to which the secession of the old foxy state had transplanted them, when, in the shadows of an antiquated library, a young apostle of the new doctrine wrote:
Confederate States of America,
Richmond, Va., Apr. 20, 1861.
Dr. Schuyler VanSiltart
was unerringly taken—our flag trembled and fell—
And so it went on, the familiar but ever moving tale of a flag bearer killed, a soldier—the narrator of the story—springing to the rescue of his standard, himself to be laid senseless by a bullet. From this oblivion he had been wakened from a drowning cold waterbath to hear the verdict.
"Poor fellow; lag badly shattered."
My Dear Shr: You will observe that (without, believe me, a tronor or the straining of a single heart tendon) I have changed my nationality and my country, headed of the "stars and stripes," the "stars of the breces" the breces (excuse extreme originality) and our brand new ship of state dares, alone, the storms of war. You and I may never meet again—nothing would induce me to marry a horrid Yankee—so try to be, as the very remembrance of you is ignored, three cheers for Dixie. You're.
ELIZABETH PONSONBY.
War opened, hostile armies confronted each other between Richmond and the Potomac; Mason and Dixon's line was accentuated by fixed bayonets and enforced by the booming sword thrusts gave point to geographical boundaries, while the long roll of the drum warned off all intruders.

One dismal morning Mrs. Ponsonby was sewing diligently on a soldier's haversack, one of an immense pile, in

such haite to finish her task that she wasted no time in fastening stitches or in strengthening straps. Thus, without the eye of the prophet, one might, in future wear marches, many a poor fellow's scanty rations slipping through the gaps in this same haversack made by fingers more enthusiastic in effort than proficient in accomplishment, and hear, instead of the blessings the old lady expected to be poured on her industrious hands and self-sacrificing heart, the echo of an assortment of ejaculations, made possible only by confederate whisky, flung at the careless fingers of the maker.
"Mighty po-lookin' sojer want to see you on Her 'Clementine' said efficient enough ungrammatical Judy, nodding her turbanned head to Mrs. Ponsely through a diminutive opening in the door. "Say, he ain' horrigy, 'cause I dun as' him dat fus' thing; look musons poly, do' fus' soser I see in a mont' o moons what ain' horrigny.
"On the nineteenth of May," said the limping wearer of a ragged gray coat, as he stood in Mrs. Ponsonby's presence, with the crown of a hat surrounded by a broken halo of brim in his hand, "our regiment held a position on the right of the Tenth Alabama, the attacking old house, of the right angle, as it set forth to us, to hide an ambush party of sharpshooters was carefully and all too accurately pickled off our men. Suddenly an am
was unerringly taken—our flag trembled and fell—" And so it went on, on the familiar but ever moving tale of a flag bearer killed, a soldier—the narrator of the story—springing to the rescue of his standard, himself to be laid senseless by a bullet. From this oblivion he had been waked from a drenching cold waterbath to hear the verdict, "Poor fellow; log badly shattered!" pronounced over him by a voice with a slight nasal—twang. "A voice, chanced, that he was destined to hear daily during his tedious illness, for the man who had picked him up on the floor, the assistant at hospital, and quite a friendship grew up between the young doctor and his patient, through their many conversations. So it was that on the day of the narrator's discharge, the surgeon, along with congratulations on the other's recovery and approaching exchange, gave a confidence and asked a favor, as he said, "while your ardor is yet at white heat."
"Three years ago," the doctor continued, "before this hateful war was ever dreamed of, and while I was a student in Philadelphia, I became acquainted with a young lady from Richmond. The circumstances—were romantic—well, never mind them—it's a long story—tell you some other time, perhaps." he added, dubiously, "five years" he agreed of peace, as the concurring bids of hope, "Well, without going through the various stages of the affair, from capture to despair, and from despair back, through faint gimmelings of hope, to ecstasy again, the decision was finally reached that we were, well, after a fashion, engaged; quite, I assure you, on the order of poor Harry and the well-nigh forgotten Flora of Madison Square fame. Just then, with abominable inopportunities, I felt, Mr. Lincoln asked Virginia (mind you, when the day was, after many delays, actually fixed) for her quota of troops. He had in her usual deliberateness, but she did; this call moved her—out of the union—leaving me, as Miss Elizabeth thought, on the wrong side.
"One day, it must have been by the last through mail. I received a most astounding letter from the young lady herself; terrific headlines, shocking sentiments, 'Southern confederacy,' and all the rest of it. Quite a doubling up of fists all 'round, a regular 'one southerner-can-whip-ive-Yankees' epilepsy. She said 'ending everything.' I said 'Never,' with a capital N. Well, to come to the pit of the affair, we hear through personalities of each other the cut out and kindly of love letters though, you know; so I ask you, as man to man, to get a letter to Elizabeth for me. Of course you can't carry a written communication. I don't care to treat the camp to a specimen of my ability as a military Romeo, so I am going to read the epileptic which you, once safe in Richmond after your exchange, are to write out in my name and hand to her in person. Now will you do this, without altering jot or title, except to throw into it all the fervor you can convey on paper; and will you remember that under no circumstances are you to give this precious document Involved in the little rebel who wrote the wonderful little rebel of 1861; or, if impossible to see her, into those of her mother?"
To that question the letter that now passed from the hands of the "raggedy man" to the feminine fingers that dropped the unfinished hawksack to receive it, was the silent and sufficient answer.
The smoke still lingered over the amoldering chimneys of Richmond when Judy, ignorant of the interstate episode in her mistress' love affairs, entered one morning to announce a visitor.
"Gemmen in de parlor, Mis' 'Lizeth, an clar to goodness, you'll 'how to' souse me, but he moss' sholy do look powerful like one o' dem Yankees who curtied at the end of the after Appatoxom, when the guns were stacked for all time by the tired hands of the starved men who wept as they laid them aside, Surgeon Vanittart and Elizabeth—But what need to go over the old story? Patriotic fervor gave place to cosmopolitan love—was it ever otherwise? Cupid is blind, so gray and blue are alike to him. And ought we not to dwell together in "love and peace?"
Passing the Time.
From an eastern city comes a and story of a pawnbroker. He was enjoying a beauty sleep when a furious knocking at the street door brought him to the window with a jerk. "What's the matter?" he chanted. "Come down," demanded the knocker. "But—" "Come down!" "Come down!" The man of many nephews hastened downstairs and peeped around the door. "Now, sir?" he demanded, "I wan'sh know the time," said the reveler. "Do you man to say you knocked me up? How dare you?" The midnight visitor looked injured. "Well, you've got my watch," he said. "Arogonaut."
Ollyx HU Culture
Owing to the strict government in spection, practically all Italian export olive oil is pure on leaving Italy. For home consumption there is hardly a sufficiency, from year to year, necessitating large imports of cotton-seed oil from America; and this has induced the government to take special sector toward the improvement of olive culture.
GREAT GATHERING OF NOTABLE
MEN IN WASHINGTON.
Secretary Corleyau Opens the Congress and Thirty Foreign Societies, including Dr. Koch, Make Response.
Washington — Monday witnessed one of the most notable gatherings ever assembled in the international capital, when medical scientists representing every civilized nation united with their brothers in America in an effort to solve the problem of how best to cope with tuberculosis. The occasion was the official opening of the sixth triennial international congress on tuberculosis. The museum of the new National museum was filled with men who have consecrated their best talents to the study of tuberculosis, representatives of the sovereigns of foreign countries, high officials of government. The keynote of every utterance reflected the hope that the day is not far distant when medical scholars shall triumph over the great source.
Notable Men Present.
When Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou, as the personal representative of the president of the United States, officially declared the congress open, there were grouped on the platform such distinguished men as Dr. Robert Koch, the discoverer of the tubercle bacilli; Dr. A. Calmette of Paris, Prof. Bernard Bang of Denmark, Dr. Arthur Newshole of London, G. Dr. Woodhead of Cambridge, Eng. Dr. Cleelan of Oxford, F. W. Philp of Edinburgh, found the first tuberculosis dispensary; Prof. L. Landouye, Dr. N. Tendeloo of Leyden, Dr. Simon von Unterberger, honorary physician to his majesty's court of St. Petersburg; Dr. Camilo Calleja of Madrid and many others. Among the members of the diplomatic corps present was Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister.
When Dr. Koch arose to respond in behalf of the German government in the solemnly remarkable demonstration in his house, men and women waving hats and handkerchiefs for nearly five minutes.
* Welcomed by Mr. Cortelvou.
The official welcome on behalf of the United States government was extended by Secretary Cortelyou. His address evoked warm and frequent applause. Then followed the responses of the official representatives of 39 foreign countries. When his name was called, Dr. Koch declared that the German takes a particular interest in all that tends toward the solution of the tuberculosis problem and that his government would watch with the keenest interest the delibrations of this disease in the tuberculosis situation in Germany. The tuberculosis is distinctly favorable during the past three decades, the mortality from tuberculosis in Prussia having been reduced practically one-half.
Dr. Jee, the Chinese delegate, declared that notwithstanding tuberculosis has a strong hold upon his country, his government was doing little for the prevention of this disease. He expressed the hope that the next congress would be held in China. At the conclusion of the responses to Secretary Cortelyou's address the congress adjourned and will not again meet in Washington. Afternoon was devoted to the deliberations of the various sectional meetings where a number of addresses were made.
Death Predicted for 5.000.000.
Washington.—That 5,000,000 people, now living in the United States, are doomed to all consumptives' graves unless something is done to prevent it, was the startling declaration of Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale university in an address on "The Cost of Tuberculosis" at the Congress on Tuberculosis Tuesday. Prof. Fisher's address, which was the feature of the day, created a sensation among 'the hundreds who listened to his statements. Prof. Fisher further declared that the 138,000 persons who die of consumptives annually in this country cost, in hard cash, over $1,000,000,000 a year.

CASTAWAYS AT FIJI ISLES
PASSENGERS OF THE WRECKED AEON BROUGHT TO SUVA.
Baby is Born to Chaplain Patrick's Wife on Christmas Island Just Before Rescuers Arrive.
Suva, Fiji Islands. — The castaway from the British steamer Aeon, who spent nearly two months on Christmas island, an almost barren coral formation in the Pacific ocean, arrived here Wednesday on the steamer Manuka of the Canadian-Australian line, all well and all cared for by one in number. A daughter was born to the wife of Chaplain B, R, Patrick, U, S, N. 24 hours before the Manuka was sighted, and this event was made the occasion of much rejoicing.
The Manuka reached Christmas Island on September 23. Six hundred bags of mail were transferred to the steamer during the night of the passengers and crew of the Aeon were taken aboard the next morning.
The Aeon left San Francisco on July 6 for Auckland, by way of Apla, and was carried on the coral island by the strong currents setting in shore. The steamer specially broke up, but the mats were saved and a large quantity of stores. The refugees suffered few privations. She marched the officers and crew, the Aeon carried Mrs. Patrick and her children and the wife of Lleut. W. K. Riddle, U. S. N. Rude shelters were built, but later quite an artistic cottage was erected for Mrs. Patrick and her nurse out of lumber and the cabin fittings of the ship. Among the stores saved were plenty of fresh vegetables and the men of the crew got fish in abundance by the use of clubs in the surf. The supply of fresh water was found at a depth of seven feet and, according to the castaways, under the circumstances they fared well, indeed.
The United States supply ship Sola ace, which has been in attendance on the torpedo boat destroyer fleet, also arrived here Wednesday, having sailed from Pago Pago, Samoa islands. She will return to that port on Saturday with Mrs. Patrick and her family and Mrs. Riddle.

I gave him three months' treatment from a good doctor, but at the end of that time the child was no better. Then my doctor recommended Cuticura. After using a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was well and his face was as smooth as any other child. He had half old and no eczema has resounded. Mrs. M. L. Harris, Alton, Kan, May 14 and June 12, 1907."

I wish every suffering woman would try it."

Department to ald and encourage them
to save tele enenlngs, ‘Tho subject of
‘postal savings banks or depositories 19
not now In this country and it may bo
traly sald {0 be quite faruillar to tho
people of Europe und the British colon
Jes ‘The propriety of establishing
postal savings banks became the sue
Jeet of discussion In England as early
fas 1807, Every objection to such use
Of the postoifice facilities urged in this
‘country was vigorously pressed n tho
Tong-continued diseussion of the subject
In England.
For over fifty sears private savings
Institutions wazed bitter opposition to
the growing sentiment In favor of postal
savings banks, but notwithstanding
‘uch opposition in 1861 am act of Pare
Hamient was passed entitled “An act
to grant additional fuellities for de
positing small savings with the security
fof the government for the due repay
ment thervof.” ‘That the alarm of prt
vate institutions was Ill founded Is
amply proven by the recorded fact that
the private savings banks ineveased
thelr eapital by more than ten millions
of dollars In the first Mfteen years fol
Towing the establishment of postal save
lungs institutions,
‘That the postal eivings Institutions
proved successful Is satisfactorily at-
tested by the fact that no backward
step hag ever been take In England on
this subject aud by the further fact
that in rapid succession the lead of
England was taken by other comnteles
‘The primary purpose of these Instl-
tutions is to encourage thrift and a
saving disposition among the people of
small means by placing at thelr dis:
posal In every part of the country
ready facilities for the depositing of
snl suing, with absolute assurance of
repayment on deniand with a low rate
of Iiterest on a tiinited —aggeegato
amount.
Pontal Savings Hanks Needed.
In certaln parts of our country’ save
ngs institutions are sufliclently numer:
fous to accommodate te people, but
such areas are quite limited, being con-
fined to New England and New York,
It is alleged that by reason of the wun
ber ati location of savings banks there
Is one savings aecount to every two of
the population of New England, where
fas {i all the country outside New Eo:
gland and Now York the uverage ts
only one auvings acconnt to every 157
of the population, Taking such figures
tobe approximately correct aud recog
nizing the fact that the people of all
sections of this country” are pretty
much the same In hibits, Ineliuations
‘and purposes, It niust be obvious to th
ost casual observer that the people
of the South, the Middle West, and the
West do not save thelr earnings as dé
those of New England from the mere
want of secure places in whiten deposit
nay be made.
‘To those who feel Inclined to bellev‘
that the establishment of postal say
ings depositories will Involve an cle
ment of paternalism It seoms quite sut
ficleut to suggest that the machinery 0
the Postoitice Department Ig now in ex
Istence and will continue to exist with
‘out diminution of expense whetho
‘such depositories are created or no
and that the establishment. of thes
depositories for the benefit of th
people will not Involve one farthing o
Tons to the Post-Office Department, bu
will probably, on the contrary, prov
more than self-sustaining. . Very stigh
‘computation will clenzly demonstrat
that the postal savings depositors ca
not burden. the Post-Oftice Departmen
‘with any additional defictency.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kiads, all quslities:
all lengths, and all conditions of bait, even to the growing of hair on bald
pluces of the heud. many nersons scored the idea that such a thog. wat posal
‘le; bot we have grown the hair for hundreds: rapidly achieving stccers, The
proof of the valaw of our work in that we are boing imitated and largely by
persons whose ownh hair we have aettally grovwa und the further fact that they
have sery fe.quently mentiened us when trying to sell their goods (saying thoe
theirs js the sume or “jasi us good”) or referred to PORO, We avine you to
