COLORED GRADUATES OF DES MOINES. This June witness only four colored graduates in the diffent institutions of learning. They are Willie Warrick and George McCraven from West High. They were both born and reared here and are well known. Their parents have struggled hard to keep them in school and can now enjoy the blessings of seeing their children rise intellectually. The other two are the Misses Zoe Ricoardson and Bertha Allen from the Des Moines Musical Conservatory as instrumental players. They are both Des Moines girls and Miss Richardson is a graduate from the stenographic department of the Iowa Business College; then became stenographer for the Iowa State Bystander Co. for many years and later was employed by different other firms. She is naturally gifted in music and the study of it became very easy and she completed the course in a remarkable short time. Miss Allen is the youngest daughter of Mr. J. Allen, she is a great musician and has now twenty-five pupils already. They both have our best wishes for success as well as the two young men entering into the world of active life. Bustander's Anniversary. Again the cythie of time has carried the Bystander Publishing Co. to another mile stone and we now add 15 years to her volumn. The ups and downs and the struggle to make her weekly appearance has at times been close, simply because those who owed us would not pay; and now if we could only get all that is due the Company we would be enabled to give the public a much better paper, yet, notwithstanding all this she has never missed an issue since June 8, 1894, and is the only newspaper that can say so much west of the Mississippi. We have never tried to publish a sensational or yellow journal, but have tried to give our rerders the straight, honest news in a conservative way, defending truth, right and justice and encouraging our race to go onward and upward. Dear readers assist us to made the Bystander a still better newspaper. TO THE GRADUATES This month all over America the schools, colleges and universities of learning are graduating hundreds and thousands of colored boys and girls. It is indeed an encouraging sign to see this crop of aspiring enthusiastic Afro-Americans competing with his white brother for honor and success. Let me say to you all, do not be over anxious to do something great at first, remember that the old cold prejudiced world has many a rough knock for you, do not be discouraged, but stick to it and climb slowly and surely up the hill. There is nothing good without great labor. Seek good literature and good associates. Chicago, Ill. Miss Myrtle Arbuckle received Freshman class prize at graduating exercises of Provident Hospital Training School for nurses, held at Abraham Lincoln Centre in Chicago June 3. Miss Arbuckle is completing a three month's course in "Diastetics" and milk laboratory training at North Western University where milk feedings are prepared for 35 infants a day. He Guessed It. Howell—What became of Rowell who was here when I lived here? Powell—He died of throat trouble Howell—Well, I'll be hanged. Howell—Yes, that's the way he died "Secretary of the university, George W. Cook"—such was the announcement made by the board of trustees of the university at its recent meeting. By this action the university has for the first time in its history of more than forty years elected the president, the high position of general secretary. Though born in the famous Shenandoah valley of Virginia about fifty years ago, George W. Cook can truly say that he was bred and raised in college. He came to Howard in his early teens, graduated in the class of 1881 and has been connected with the teaching staff of the university ever since. His residence is on the college campus, facing Clark hall, the dormitory for young men. Professor Cook and his highly cultured wife, who is an elocutionist of excellent quality and pleasing personality, have lived in this quaint but charming college home for many years. They have taken almost PROFESSOR GEORGE W. COOK. a parental interest in the young men who live near them and have thus won the love of the entire student body, who now rejoices in Professor Cook's promotion to the secretaryship of the university. The secretary of the school is a most important personage. Having to pass upon the expenditure of all the money, which soars up into the hundred thousands, he is castodian of the property of the school, which is valued at almost a million, and performs and carries on the business end of this great educational milieu. Professor Cook is especially qualified to do this work. For years he has been dean of the commercial department of Howard and has sent forth many young men and women prepared to enter upon the activities of the business world. Not content with doing the work connected with the university alone, Professor Cook takes great interest in and gives much of his time to charitable work. He is also a member of the District of Columbia, having been appointed by ex-President Roosevelt and confirmed by the United States senate. He was also a member of President Roosevelt's homes commission. He is the only Afro-American member of the first mentioned commission. It is a permanent body and passes on the expenditure of thousands of dollars. Professor Cook has not allowed his busy life to cause him to be taken away from the forming of his school, holding of old ones, Teachers and students alike are his friends. Professor Cook worked at seashore hotels when a young man to pay his way through school and learned some valuable lessons. Every year he lectures the young men, warning them of the dangers and perils which surround such places. Young men before leaving for their summer's work come to say goodbye to Professor Cook. Those who have just stifted out in the teaching profession come to him for advice, and all receive an encouragement word. As a schoolmate of ex-Congressman White, Recorder of Deces Dancy, Dr. Crum, Dr. Francis and others who have won their way to distinction George W. Cook after thirty-five years in Howard as student and teacher receives high honor at the hands of his alma mater. The honor came unsought, but it came to one who is prepared to put his hand on the throttle and start the engine without instruction. Annual Meeting of K. of P. The next annual meeting of the grand lodge of Knights of Fythians of the District of Columbia and Maryland is scheduled to be held at Cambridge, Md. for four days beginning Monday. July 19.

Its purpose, to encourage the study of music in those who sing, to encourage the appreciation of this beautiful art in those who hear. Its members give of their time and service without pay and its desire from its concerts only money sufficient to meet its necessary expenses.

Jefrey director, the club consists of the following officers, a president, secretary, supervisor, pianist and a director. Jasper Gibbs, Jr. who graduated with honor from the South High School Monday eveeding June 7, was the only Afro-American in the class of 104 members. He was one of the two boys who with fifteen girls were on the honor roll. When we consider that the young man has completed the course in three and a half years, as well as working on the Special Delivery force at the post office, we are willing to acknowledge that he has made a creditable record.

Y., recently, was one of the most distinguished as well as widely known Baptist preachers among Afro-Americans in the United States. At the time his death occurred he had been the faithful pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn, for nearly forty-six years, having taken charge in October, 1863. He received his license to preach from the Abyssinian Baptist church, New York, in 1869. Before entering the ministry Dr. Dixon taught public school at Stonington, Conn.; Flushing, N. Y., and at Baltimore. It was while he was a teacher that he met Miss Madida A. Wilkins, who later married. Five children were born to them, two of whom survive him, Mrs. Dixon, however, did not live very long. Dr. Dixon's second marriage was to Miss Angela C. Frasier of Arlington, Va., who, with two children, survives him. William Thomas Dixon was born in Elizabeth street, New York, Sept. 8, 1833. His parents were George L. and Matilda Dixon. He received his education in the public schools of Brooklyn, where he lived nearly all of his life. Among his closest friends in the ministry for a number of years were Henry Wud Beecher, Dr. Storrs, Hiram Hutchina, Rufus Lewis Perry, Amos N. Freeman, T. Doughty Miller, R. D. Wyman and William H. Phillips, of whom only the latter two are living. Dr. Dixon was not rated as a pulp orator, but an effective preacher of the simple gospel of Jesus Christ. As a minister of the church to the members of his church and congregation and the public generally, for he visited the sick, aged and infirm of all denominations and was called the pastor of all the people, the dean of the Afro-American clergy. The Concord Baptist Church of Christ, of which he was the pastor, was started in a little frame building on Concord street, near Gold. At the time Pastor Dixon took charge of it there were about fifty scattered members, few of REV. WILLIAM T. DIXON, D. D. whom, as he often said, loved Zion's solemn feasts. He leaves a united church with 1,000 members and church property valued at $45,000. About thirty years ago Pastor Dixon preached a stirring sermon against adultery which nearly rent the membership of his church. His life was threatened by some of the members, and for a long time he had to be guarded in going to and from the services of the church. Many of the members withdrew their support, and, as ibut it, he had a hard road to travel, but he cultivated all those who despised him and died beloved and respected by all who knew him of both drs. Dr. Dixon was one of the founders of the New England Baptist missionary convention thirty-six years ago, of which he served as corresponding secretary for nineteen years, and at the time of his death had been its venerable president for nine years. Dr. Dixon received the degree of doctoral divinity from the Arkansas State University May 1902. He the honor of the presiding of the Long Island Baptist association (white) for two years. He organized the first Grand Army post of Afro-Americans in Brooklyn—viz. William Lloyd Garron in post. 20—over thirty years ago, of which he was made an honorary member in August. 1907. Dr. Dixon's work, aside from his church, was very great. He was a member of the board of managers of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum, the Baptist home, the Home For Aged Colored People, the Fresh Air home at Westbury, N. Y.; the New England Baptist missionary convention and chairman of the committee of management of the Y. M. C. A. As in the seventy-sixth year of his age, his interest in none of these institutions had abat- NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the eighth annual session of the Iowa State Afro-American Council will be held at M. Zion A. M. E. church Ottumwa, Iowa, on Monday, July 5, commencing at 10 o'clock a.m. All local councils, Negro churches, lodges, or other race organizer, in Iowa, will be invited to send one delegate for each ten members, accompanied by $1.00 membership fee for each delegate. The recent unsuccessful attempt to have our last state legislature pass the law on the most almost every Negro lodge in Iowa, and the refusal of that body to open the doors of all higher institutions of learning to the youth of our race in this state render it highly expedient that every organization in the state having for its object the promotion of the lodge's needs should be represented in this meeting. The Ottumwa Local Council will provide free entertainment for lodging and breakfast. By order. G. Joe Brown, Pres. Rev. T. L. Grisham, Chairman Ex. Com. Des Moines, June 15, 1999.

Cool well should we so cover- ments in design with writing. The parks are being deserted, and it looks very much like a "cold day in August." Pilgrim Baptist church was crowded to the doors on last Wednesday evening. The occasion was the dication of their new $2,100 pipe organ. When the pastor, Rev. Carter, announced that on June 10th the church had to be open to the public and an invited invitation was extended to every Afro-American in St. Paul to be present on that evening. little did we think that it was to be such a grand extraordinary occasion, and were delighted, as well as surprised, to see the large number that had assembled in the auditorium pursuant to the invitation. To say it was the grandest, as well as the first gathering kind event held in the Bystander Path. Co. DES MOINES, . . . IOWA The "Teddy bear" is developing in to a whole zoo. The young thief and his employer's money are soon parted. Jail sentences would soon discourage reckless auto speeding. Prenchmen must come to America to learn how to fight a real duel.

A French learned man says the only way for women to be beautiful is for them to be silent, for talking brings wrinkles. And does he mean to infer there are no beautiful women? Detectives in New Jersey allowed a dentist practicing without a license to draw their sound teeth in order to get positive evidence against him. Their sense of duty certainly had a strong pull with them. Points of view were reversed in a bull fight lately in Madrid. The act of the bull in killing a torreader turned the fight from an amusement into a tragedy, while the bull's reverse took place from the bull's standpoint. "Newspaper men dine" is a headline. That may formerly have been a practice sufficiently unusual to justify its lifting into prominence as news, but we are informed that it is now quite a common occurrence. That freewreck buildings are not always freewreck, especially when stored with infumable contents, was demonstrated in the blaze at Akron which involved the narrow escape of 200 people and the destruction of property valued at more than a million dollars. Seven millions of gold has been shipped from New York to Paris, Rotterdam and South America. This is more than the total for the month of April.

A report received from Victoria British Columbia, that Japan intends to sell cruise to Boeing Japan, to help after the interests of Japanese pelagic sealers will cause no uneasiness in the United States.

The number of Germans who left the Fatherland in 1908 for the purpose of making homes 'abroad was only 19,883. In 1881 the number of emigrants from Germany was 220,901. The total emigration from Germany since 1871 amounted to 2,750,000, and of these people 17,551,000 came to the States. The practical cessation of emigration from Germany began upon the future of both nations. The public schools in Washington have just observed what is called "wine day" for the first time. It came about through the inspiration of Miss Susan B.

The project was promptly indorsed by the local board of education. The unveiling of a statue of Henry W. Longfellow in Washington last week was an event of national interest, and it was very fitting that representatives of the national government participated in the ceremonies. Washington abounds in memorials of great Americans, most of whom were renowned as soldiers or statemen. But Longfellow is given a place as a representative of American literature, and the choice was happy. He was the beloved of American poets and more better illustrated the American spirit. The New York court of appeals is to pass on whether the constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness extends to a man's satisfaction in hearing his rooster crow at hours of the night which deprive other men of that constitutional happiness which lies in slumber. The question appears trivial, but so determined is the man in the case to enjoy this constitutional privilege, as involving a supreme right that he says he will carry his TAFT FOR TRUST TAX PRESIDENT URGES TWO PERCENT. ASSESSMENT ON UN-DISTRIBUTED EARNINGS. CONGRESS RECEIVES MESSAGE Income Tax Plan to Be Left to States for Settlement If Recommendations Are Carried Out—Borah Would Free Philippines. Washington—If the recommendations embodied in a message sent to congress Wednesday by President Taft are carried on tax of two per cent. on the distributed net earnings will be provided for in an amendment to the tariff bill and the income tax question will be left to the states for settlement. It is believed the senate will adopt the president's plan. This understanding was reached at a session of the cabinet and was approved by Republican leaders of the senate who conferred with the president. In order that there shall be no question that the two propositions recommended have any impact on the Attorney General Wickersham drafted both the amendment and the resolution. The corporation tax amendment was referred to the committee on finance and the resolution submitting the question of amending the constitution to the committee on judiciary. Doubly both of these committee members promptly shall be involved in the question that may be disposed of when the pending income tax amendment is taken up for consideration. In view of the emphatic stand taken by President Taft against a direct tax upon incomes, in the face of the decision of the supreme court of the United States on that subject, and his preference for the proposition, several progressive Republicans have signified their intention of following his recommendations. At the same time all of the progressive Republicans are satisfied with this administrative program and it is probable that some of them will voice vigorous protest against it, and to indulge in strong criticism denunciatory of the tax on corporations as a substitute for a direct tax on incomes. This, he as well as many of his advisers, believe would be a reform which would produce great satisfaction to the people at large, and at the same time give the business corporations a standing which otherwise it would be impossible to attain. The president believes a provision for the imposition of such a tax can be framed on the basis of the internal revenue law, giving the government full power to investigate the books of corporations to determine their earnings. He also believes the suit should be made as to be held by the supreme court to be constitutional. The president recommends that the tax should be unlimited as to time, as this feature is considered essential to the success of the proposed law in insuring publicity. Senator Borah announced he proposed to cast his vote for loosening the band which tied the Philippines to the United States. He declared himself in favor of giving the Philippines an independent government. TRIES TO SLAY THREE. Cavalry Corporal Shoots Captain, Sergeant, and Another Corporal at Fort Des Moines, Ia.

She was dressed in a plain tailor-made suit of black, wit. a bit of white her neck which accentuated the lack of color in her face. She wore a black hat and a light-black bell, which she threw back on her shoulders, while she was testifying. C. M. Lincoln, Sunday editor of the New York Times, followed Mrs. Cleveland as a witness. He testified that he had received the "Grover Cleveland" and article from Brandenburg about a week before it was published, August 30, 1908. Brandenburg had seen him and talked with him about the article a few days before that, and Cleveland it was one of three Mr. Cleveland had promised to write early in the year bearing upon the campaign, but that illness had prevented Mr. Cleveland from writing more than the WOMEN AID IN BATTLE.

Two Per Cent. of Those Slaughtered Have the Disease Say Government Reports. Washington. — Tuberculosis among hogs is on the increase and is increasing among other disease packers than any other disease, say reports gathered from the various meat packing centers of the country by the department of agriculture. A year ago there were more than 56,000,000 hogs in this country, valued at more than $339,000,000. Federal inspection of the abattoirs show two per cent. of the hogs slaughtered to be affected with tuberculosis, while reports from another agency for more widespread infection, running as high as 5.5, to 7.5 per cent. It has been found that hogs contract the disease principally through feeding. Samples of raw skimmed milk fed to hogs from cremeries in one of the leading dairy states were injected into guinea pigs and in one instance virulent bacillus were recovered. Hogs from Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas are remarkably free from tuberculosis, due to the fact that they are fed from birth to maturity in alfalfa, oats, corn, rape and peanuts. NOT TO MEET ABRUZZI.

"FAITH" ALL THAT WAS LEFT Symbols of "Hope" and "Charity" Had Got away from Unfortunately Sunday School Scholar. A young Philadelphia Sunday school teacher tells this story of the result of an attempted application of the principles of economics: For some time she had endeavored to impress upon the minds of one of her charges the names of the three qualities, faith, hope, and charity. One Sunday she presented the pupil of the poor memory with three new shining colas, a penny, a five-cent piece, and a dime. The penny, she said, "represents faith the five-cent piece hope, and the dime charity. Keep these coins and every time you look at them think of what they stand for." The Sunday following the teacher reviewed the lesson of the week before, and called upon the holder of the coins to produce them and give their names in proper sequence. The youngster shuffled from one leg to the other, stammered, blushed and seemed altogether overcome with mortification. Finally he burst out with: "Please, Miss Fanny, I can't put nuthin' left but faith. Baby swallowed hope, and manma took charity and bought ten cents' worth of meat ter make hamburg out us." AGONIZING ITCHING. Eczema for a Year—Got No Relief Even at Skin Hospital—In Despair Until Cucurcum Curd Him. "I was troubled with a severe itching and dry, scruff skin on my ankles, feet, arms and scalp. Scratching made it worse. Thousands of small red pimples formed and these caused intense pain in the hospital for diseases of the skin. I did so, the chief surgeon saying: "I never saw such a bad case of eczema." But I got little or no relief. Then I tried many so-called remedies, but I became so bad that I almost gave up in despair. After suffering agonies for twelve months, I was relieved of the almost unbeatable itching after two or three applications of Cucurcum Ointment. I continued its use, combined with Cucurcum Soap and Aloe. I curled up Henry Searle, Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 8 and 10, 1907."

Oil Lamps Brighter Than Electric Light Probably one of the most wonderful as well as useful of modern inventions is that of a New York scientist who has just secured from the Government protection on a lamp burner, which by converting the oil into hydro-carbon gas, burning on a mantle, gives an eighty candle power lamp, with less oil consumption and without carbonizing the mantle or overheating the lamp. It can be fitted to any lamp and the wick lasts a lifetime. There is absolutely no danger, no odor and no smoke. The Union Light Co., of New York City, have acquired the selling rights of this burner, which is called the "Herrog," after the inventor, with special discount to introduce it into each township with a view of securing a local representative. Interrupted the Wedding. The other day, at the Shawnee county Court House, Probate Judge Schoch was about to marry a young woman, and he learned ininary words and told them to join hands, and started on the ceremony. "Hey, there! Hold up a minute! Walt, I say!" This series of startling exclamations came from the door. The groom was horrified—the bride badly scared. "Just a minute. I want to give you each an apple before you are married." said the man who had made the noise. And in he calmly walked and handed each of them a Grimes Golden. It was one man's idea of a joke.—Kansas City Journal. A Test of Friendship.

"Would you?" said Ward, feebly gripping his friend's hand for the last time. "I would indeed," said Robertson. "Then you take it." Ward passed away a few hours afterward,—Recollections of the Bancroft. No Butler for Pneuritch. "We'll have to get a butler, you know," said Mrs. Pneuritch. "What for?" asked Mr. Pneuritch.

Springfield, Ill. — The new primary election law of Illinois unconstitutional according to an opinion if the supreme court. The decision is made in the case of the People on the relation of Phillips against Sheriff Strassheim of Cook county, in which Phillips was indicted on the charge of making affidavits at a primary election and obtains a writ of habeas corpus in the state's highest tribunal. The Supreme court holds that the primary law is unconstitutional because it requires in section 44 that no person except persons registered at the last previous election can vote at a primary election, yet makes no provision for the registration of voters, and because section 11 provides that the senatorial committees may by resolution decide how many votes of Palmieri must nominate for the legislature and that only that number of candidates may be voted for thus depriving the voters of their constitutional right under the election law to vote for as many candidates as there are offices to be filled and to cumulate their votes. For these reasons the entire act is declared unconstitutional. In the case of Peabody against Treasurer Thompson of Cook county, in which casceth the lower court sustained the demurrier to the petition of the Palmieri from paying the officers of the primary election, the Supreme court reverses the judgment of the Circuit court of Cook county and remands the case.

An English rabbi was asked if there was any weighty reason against having a clock in the synagogue. "By no means," was the reply.

When prominent men realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools in one of the southern states says: "My mother, since her early childhood, was on invertebrate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sickness." "Some time ago I was making an official visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavour of the coffee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife take it home. The whole family were so well pleased with it, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its introduction, she trotted back to her heart and no sick stranger; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. "I know Postum has benefited myself and the other members of the family, but not in so marked a degree as with the other members, she was a victim of long standing."

"My business is to preach the souls of men from hell to heaven." In his last annual sermon he said to the church: "I have been with you in times that were gloomy and access which were bright. I cannot live forty-five years. The Holy Spirit and postmenum. So I say, 'Not unto me, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy holy name we give all the praise and all the glory. Amee.'" His last annual report showed that during his ministry he had united 948 couples in marriage and had preached at the funerals of 3,129 persons.

William Henderson, Who Served the Morrises Forty Years, Retired. William Henderson, who has been in the employ of the John A. Morris family at Throgs Neck, N. Y., for the past forty years, has been richly rewarded for his faithfulness. Mr. Morris decided recently that the automobile is the proper carriage for the modern woman of fashion, so she took her last drive with Mr. Henderson on the box, and upon returning to the house informed me that moment he bought horses, the landau and victorias were his, and besides these, he should have a house, land, a coachman to drive for him whenever he desired and an income sufficient to keep him comfortably the rest of his life. Mrs. Morris was Cora Hennen of New Orleans, and Henderson was born in the service of her family. The freeing of the slaves offered him nothing so attractive as staying with the same old family which his father and mother had served, so when Henderson married her, and ommon Henderson came with her. He is known all over Westchester county almost as well as the Morrises themselves. Several years ago he saved Mrs. Morris' life by stopping a pair of runways and nearly lost his own life in doing it.

Albia, Iowa. Burlington, Iowa—The effect of the murder of Emma Ford by the notorious Negro, George Cox, at Fate Martin's place last Thursday, has been to put a check on the movement which has been on foot in Burlington for the uplifting of the colored population of this city and which they have been on to resent in the establishment of an industrial school for the negroes. Feel the Disgrace. The colored people, feeling the disgrace and shame that has been heaped on their race by the murder, hold a mass meeting last evening at the St. John's African M. E. church and adopted resolutions condemning justice and recommending that speedy justice be out to the murderer, George Cox. About $500 had been subscribed by the people of the city for this work, but the murder in Martin's place has caused the white people to lose confidence in the Negroes and many who have been favoring the movement enthusiastically before are now like warm and unless confidence is restored, may withhold their aid. The white men and boys have the Y. M. C. A. to go to where they have the gymnasium - privileges, club rooms, baths and amusements. While the Negroes are not barred from the gymnasium, they are there and of necessity they gather with their own race in places where the surroundings teach crime and encourage idenities. It is Rev. Mr. Thomas' idea to get the young Negroes away from these places, to provide club rooms with gymnasium and baths, at the church where the Negroes are to be trained young men to become useful citizens. The following committee reported the resolution: William Emmanuel, J. Brooks, C. Tyrler, C. W. Brown, W. Washington, M. J. Falks, and Mrs. A. Newton. The resolution is as follow: There has been a foul and dastardly cold blooded murder committed in Fate Martin's place of business in the city of Burlington by the killing of the Ford woman by the THE MAGIC TWO TIMES LABORATORY PICTURE IT'S STEEL MEATING BAR Ladies you need EVERY lady can have a beautiful and invariant head of hair, she uses this toilet necessity.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that the have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying the theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mr. A. M. POPE.
