When it saw the colonel the Sphinx remained discreetly silent. Girls' names written on eggs are turned out of cold storage from one to three years old. Simian dinners are still popular in the New York smart set and some of them cost $100 per plate. Paris has a "ham and iron" fair, though ham and diamonds would be a more appropriate combination. Japan is taking an interest in baseball, which seems to assure a cordial understanding beyond question. It will be hard for Kermit to content himself with the sport of clam digging when he gets back to Oyster Bay. Why should not the young man's fancy lightly turn to thoughts of love? Spring millinery bills do not embitter his dreams. Now science has achieved an invention to take the picture of beating hearts. This ought to make effective exhibits in love pleadings. A celebrated oculist says that people seldom see things as they are. Particularly is this true when they look at get-rich-quick schemes. Economists who declare there is now too much gold will not exert any noticeable influence on the enthusiasm of the man with a mining prospectus. A New York man who was run down by a baby carriage is suffering from a broken shoulder. New York men should never go on the street without their nursemails. So impetuous are the members of the Hungarian chamber of deputies that they began hurling books and infwkls without waiting for the moving-picture machine. As a matter of fact man is not in rebellion against buttoning up his wife's waist in the back. He likes anything that proves he is a convenience about the house. One good thing about the gaseous hall of Halloy's comet, which is expected to envelope the earth before long, is that we shall not be compelled to get it through a meter. Count Komura says that a war between this country and Japan is inconceivable. Little does he realize the strength of the imaginations of some of our after-dinner speakers. New York gave away a car load of babies to New Orleans people the other day. This corroborates the old saying that generosity consists in giving away something which we do not want ourselves. Sailing of the Mauretania was delayed half an hour by the nonavailance of some cans of cream. We are surprised to learn that the Mauretania does not have among its attractions a cowpasture and cremery of its own. The appendix, thinking the human race has not enough trouble of its own just now, has started to make more by inventing for itself a new and exclusive disease. This disease the doctors have agreed to call "appendicitis colitis", and there is small doubt that the disease strictly up to date will contract it without delay. Indeed, appendicitis may go quite out of fashion. The idea of running "instruction trains" for the benefit of farmers appears to be growing in popularity. One of these trains, in charge of the state agricultural department, is on a trip through New Jersey and the farmers are flocking to the stopping places in large numbers to listen to the lectures. The practical value of this method is recognized, and the American farmer who wants to be up to date is catching on. New Jersey evidently is wideawake as to the importance of utilizing its natural resources. The United States collector of internal revenue in New York reports that the corporations are generally responding to the requirements of the new federal law calling for returns as a basis for taxation. This is amenable, and shows a much better spirit than indicated in many quarters at first. The best intelligence in corporate management is beginning to realize and recognize that reasonable regulations are equitable and in the public interest, and managers are governing themselves accordingly. Chicago telephone girls must be over five feet high. Don't back talk to a Chicago telephone girl. The police, on medical advice, stopped a Marathon endurance dance in San Francisco which had lasted 15 hours. One of the dancers seemed urging himself to the point of torture, but that did not prevent the crowd in attendance from resenting the humane action of the police. It is the same old story. Scratch the skin of civilization and find the human brute underneath. There would be more peace in North Africa if the Sultan of Morocco were all hid and stayed hid, instead of being only Hard. American believers who buy counsels dukes and princes, should be business-like and insist on seeing the property clear of liens before the purchase money is paid. If a sworn schedule of liabilities were filed and a meeting of creditors held to waive all prior liens the investment would be as regular as that in much more intriguing valuable real estate.

Washington, — William R. Hearst after a half hour's conference with President Taft came out in a public interview with an indorsement of the Taft administration. The indorsement of the Taft administration was given in a statement which is signed with the full name of the Independent leader. With the president without appreciating and respecting his earnestness and sincerity, says the statement "Personally I believe also in his efficiency. He has been one year in office, and he has certainly accomplished more in that one year than Roosevelt did in his first year. Mr. Roosevelt, according to Mr. Hearst, found the country at the height of prosperity and plunged it into the depths of adversity. "It is hardly fair to compare Taft's one year with Roosevelt's seven, and yet I am not sure that even with that the comparison might not be to Taft's advantage. Taft's methods are not those of Roosevelt, but then Taft probably will not conclude his term with a panic." I. C. DIRECTORS ARE SILENT Charles A.

DEMOCRAT WINS HOT FIGHT Havens Defends Aldridge in New York Congressional District—Tariff Ws Feature. Rochester, N. Y.—James S. Havens (Den.) was Tuesday elected to congress in the Thirty-second district, defeating George W. Aldridge (Rep.). The district had been Republican since 1890. Aldridge, formerly state superintendent of public works, was accused during the campaign of having received $1,000 from insurance companies to influence legislation. The campaign was successful. Havens carried the city of Rochester by a plurality of 4,000, overturning a Republican plurality of 6,000 in 1908. The late Representative Perkins carried it two years ago by a plurality of more than ten thousand. Mr. Havens is for tariff reform, while his opponent stands on the tariff policies of the Republican national administration. What gave the campaign its fever heat, however, was what the Democrats called the "moral issue," the question of "bossism" and of the personal fitness of Mr. Aldridge to sit in the house of representatives. The evidence that Mr. Aldridge received a check for $1,000 from a representative of the insurance companies for the alleged purpose of influencing legislation is an argument his opponents have kept before the people in the form of a photographic facsimile of this check, mailed to every one of the 60,000 voters in the district. SEVEN HURT IN STRIKE RIOT Strikers and Constable Clash at McKees Rock and Three Persons Will Probably Die. Pittsburg, Pa.—In a bloody battle between strikers and township constables at McKees Rock Wednesday, at least seven persons were injured, three of whom will likely die. The dying are: Constable James M. Daniels, who is shot into the abdomen and chest; Joe Birknot, a Hungarian striker, shot several times by the constables, and an unknown striker, who refuses to give his name. In addition to this, one of the attacking strikers was hit by a train as he was escaping from the pursuing mob, and knocked over the bank. He is thought to have fallen into the water. The strikers could be found in the darkness. A farmer named Hannan was shot through the hand and two unknown foreigners were carried away by their friends, apparently badly injured, but their names cannot be learned. The battle occurred just at dusk in the now notorious Bloody Angle, where so much rioting and bloodshed occurred in the last strike and where the Victor bank was located and two employees killed some week ago.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manitoba, dated March 18, 1910 says: That Germany is "unxious to secure a share of Canadian wheat to supply her imports of that cereal." The recent adjustment of the trade relations with Germany has made it possible to carry on a Canadian-German trade with much fewer restrictions than in the past, and considerable development of trade between the two Countries is now certain. The great men of the United States are alive to the Wheat situation in this Country now, and there is consequently the deepest interest in every feature that will tend to increase and conserve the wheat supply. With its present 650,000,000 bushel production of wheat and all efforts to increase it almost unavailing, and the rapidly growing consumption of its increasing population, there is certainly the greatest reason for the anxiety as to where the wheat is to come from that will feed the nation. The United States will be forced as Germany is to look to the Wheatfields of Canada. One province alone raised last year one-eighth as much as the entire production of the United States, and but a twelfth of the wheat area has yet been touched. The Americans who have gone to Canada, are to-day reaping the benefit of the demand for Canadian wheat and they will continue to join in the benefits thus reached for a great many years. Splendid yields are reported from the farms of that Country, and from land that the Government gives away in 160 acre blocks, and from other lands that have been purchased at from $12 to $15 an acre. John Munter, near Eyebrow, Saskatchewan, a former resident of Minnesota says: "Last fall got over 30 bushels of wheat to the acre and had 30 acres of it; also 20 acres spring breaking on which I had flax of which I got almost 20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres in oats and got 70 bushels per acre and 500 bushels potatoes on one and three quarter acre, and can therefore safely say that I had a fine crop and am well satisfied with my homestead." He is considered but a small farmer, but he will be one of the big farmers, some of these days. There are many others, hundreds of others, whose yields were beyond this, and whose average under crop was vastly greater. The story of the experience of American farmers in the Canadian West is a long one. The time to go, would appear to be now, when splendid selections may be made, and where land can be purchased at prices that will be doubled in a couple of years. The Response Mechanical. It is the custom in convents for the nuns to respond to a knock at the door with the words: "In the name of God," the phrase being equivalent in conventional parlance to our worldly 'enter' or "come in." In a convent in one of the western cities not long since, the mother superior had a never-to-beforegiven experience as a result of this custom. Some one in the outer world called the convent telephone number by mistake. The mother superior, roused from her meditations, picked up the receiver and responded mechanically: "In the name of God." "Madam!" called an irate masculine voice at the other end of the wire, "there is no occasion for you to swear at me, even if I have made a mistake in the number. Profane language is prohibited over the telephone!" Overhannacked. Former Governor Pennypacker, discussing at a dinner in Philadelphia the divorce evil, said with his humorous smile: "Perhaps there would be less divorce if human nature were more perfect.

An adult's food that can save a baby proves itself to be nourishing and easily digested and good for big and little folks. A Brooklyn man says: "When baby was about eleven months old he began to grow thin and pale. This was, at first, attributed to the heat and the fact that his teeth were coming, but, in reality, the poor little thing was starving, his mother's milk not being sufficient nourishment. "One day after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in a sauce with a little sugar and warm milk. This baby ate so ravenously that she fixed a second which he likewise finished. "It was not many days before he forgot all about being nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong and robust, and as cute a mischief-maker as a thirteen months old baby is expected to be. "We have put before him other foods, but he will have none of them, evidently preferring to stick to that which did him so much good—his old friend Grape-Nuts. "Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and I can never praise Grape-Nuts enough after the brightness it has brought to our household." Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby food, but experience with thousands of babies shows it to be among the best, if not entirely the best in use.

GARFIELD Ex-Secretary of the Interior Guest of Honor at Grant Club Banquet in Honor of Eighty-eighth Anniversary of Gen. Grant. Des Moines, Apr. 22.—"The entire United States knows Des Moines as representing the best idea in municipal government that has been developed. In originating and adopting the commission system Des Moines did more to advertise itself than any other one single thing has done." This was the statement of James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior under President Roosevelt, in his address before the Greater Des Moines committee at luncheon. "It is foolish for a citizen of Cleveland to come out here and attempt to make suggestions to Des Moines regarding city government and commercial affairs," said Mr. Garfield. "I FRANKLIN JAMES RUDOLPH, GARFIELD, really believe that the people of Des Moines do not fully appreciate how their city stands out from the others because it took the lead in a radical change of government." Mr. Garfield arrived in Des Moines early yesterday morning from Denver. He remained at the Chamberlain hotel until 9 o'clock when he was met by Henry Wallace, John Wallace, H. H. Stipp and Walter St. John, representing the Grant club. The party immediately went to Drake university, where Mr. Garfield made a short address at chapel exe- cises. Mr. Garfield was the guest of honor and delivered the principal address at the Grant club banquet last night in honor of the eighty-eighth birthday anniversary of Gen. U. S. Grant. More than 300 members of the club were present and the banquet was the greatest event in the club's history. Mr. Garfield's address was one of the strongest ever delivered before the club. SAMUEL L. CLEMENS IS DEAD Passing of America's Greatest Humorist Was Painless—End Came at Beautiful Home. Redding, Conn., April 22—Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), died painlessly at 6:30 last evening.

Cooper's theory concerning the human stomach, which he claims to prove, with his new medicine, is being given more respect and comment every day. Cooper claims that 90 per cent. of all ill health is due to stomach trouble. When interviewed about his theory recently, he said: "Stomach trouble is the great curse of the 20th century so far as the civilized races are concerned. Practically all of the chronic ill health of this generation is caused by abnormal stomach conditions. In earlier days, when the human race was closer to nature, and men and women worked all day out of doors, digging their frugal existence from the soil, the tired, droopy, half-sick people that are now so common, did not exist. "To be sure, there was sickness in those days, but it was of a virulent character, and only temporary. There was none of this half-sick condition all the time with which so many are afflicted nowadays. "I know positively that every bit of this chronic ill health is caused by stomach trouble. The human stomach in civilized people today is degenerate. It lacks tone and strength. This weakness has gradually come through a sedentary existence. I further know that few people can be sick with the digestive apparatus in perfect shape. The sole reason for my success is because my New Discovery medicine tones the stomach up to required strength in about six weeks' time. That is why I have had more people come and thank me wherever I have gone to introduce my medicine, than I have had time to talk with." Among the immense numbers of people who are now strong believers in Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs. M. E. Delano, a prominent resident of the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass. She says: "For several years I was broken in health, caused primarily by stomach and nerve troubles. I gradually became worse, until recently I was compelled to go without solid food for days at a time. I had sour stomach, palpitation of the nerves of stomach and heart, dyspepsia, and extreme nervousness. I suffered terribly with insomnia, and my liver, bowels and whole system gradually became deranged. I felt instant relief the first day I began this Cooper medicine. I now feel like a new being. Today I walked all over town, shopping—something I have not done for years. "I make this statement wholly from a sense of duty. I feel I owe it to anyone who might find relief and renewed happiness as I have done." Cooper's New Discovery is sold by all druggists.

My hands were very sore and cracked open on the insides for over a year with large sores. They would crack open and bleed, itch, burn and ache so that I could not sleep and could do but little work. They were so bad that I could not dress myself in the morning. They would bleed and the blood dropped on the floor. I called on two doctors, but they did me no good. I could get nothing to do any good till I got the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

HALE ALSO TO OUIT VETERAN SENATOR FROM MAINE WILL RETIRE AT CLOSE OF TERM. HAS SERVED THIRTY YEARS Senator Aldrich Confirms Report That He Will Retire at End of Present Term—Wants to Stay on Currency Board. Washington.—Tuesday Senator Eugene Hale of Maine announced that at the expiration of his present term, next March, he will retire from the United States senate, where during recent years he has wielded greater power than any other senator save perhaps Aldrich. His 30 years of continuous service if the senate will be terminated by his voluntary retirement from the fight for reelection, in which the preliminary work already had been well started in Maine. The announcement Tuesday of Hale's retirement is coincident to the confirmation by Senator Aldrich that he will quit at the end of his present term. Senator Hale's withdrawal from the senatorial fight creates surprise greater even than that which attended the first rumor of the retirement of Aldrich. Until recently, it had been believed here that Hale's control of Maine was unshaken. The fight that has devel- Senator Hale. oped against him in the last few months has grown to such proportions that influential Republicans have predicted his defeat in the coming election. The necessity for a bittier fight to regain his seat his discouraged the veteran senator, and the strain of the contest has taxed his strength. His family has strongly urged his withdrawal, and this fact has had much to do with his determination to retire. Senator Hale will be seventy-four years old in June. The determination of Senator Hale to retire first was announced at a conference between the senator and a few friends in Portland, Me., last Wednesday. Senator Aldrich announced Tuesday that he will not be a candidate for reelection to the senate, and that he will retire at the expiration of his present term on March 3, 1911. "I have decided not to be a candidate again," said the senator. "Since something of my plans has become known, I make the statement. I had not intended to for a few days yet." Senator Aldrich said ill health alone dictated his decision. A week ago he went to New York, where he consulted physicians. They were insistent that he rid himself of the more exacting of his burdens and devote a large share of his time to out of door exercise. He could see no way to lead such a life if he accepted another term in the senate and therefore he desired to retire.

One of these trains, in charge of the state agricultural department, is on a trip through New Jersey and the farmers are flocking to the stopping places in large numbers to listen to the lectures and witness the demonstrations. The primary goal of the demonstration is to inform, and the American farmer who wants to be up to date is catching on. New Jersey evidently is wideawake as to the importance of utilizing its natural resources. The United States collector of internal revenue in New York reports that the corporations are generally responding to the requirements of the new federal law calling for returns as a basis for taxation. This is amenable, and shows a much better spirit than indicated in many quarters at first. The best intelligence in corporate management is beginning to realise and recognize that reasonable restriction and response are equitable and the public interest, and managers are governing themselves accordingly.

His letter is as follows: "To Health Officers, City and County Authorities and Women's Clubs of Iowa.

"Now, in accordance with the above I therefore call upon you to do all in your power officially and privately to rid our state of flth and its products. Let each man clean his premises and each woman her house and each officer his territory.

He was met at the station by a coach and four-in-hand which conveyed the party on a dashing drive through villages where children threw apple blossoms and the peasants doffed their hats. The drive provided a keen appetite for the old-fashioned country dinner with native wines which was served by peasant belles in Magyar costumes, with an accompaniment of eulogistic songs. Later the beautiful Arab stallions of the stud were shown off. Colonel Roeverst was enthusiastic, feeding each a lump of sugar and then reviewing the herds as they were driven past him, with cows, sheep, etc., following under guard of native shepherds. A newly-born Arabian fully was named Roosevelt in honor of the visit. W. R. HEARST ENDORSES TAFT Editor in Statement Praises the President, but Criticizes Roosevelt in Making Comparison. Washington. — William R. Hearst after a half hour's conference with President Taft came out in a public interview with an indorsement of the Taft administration. The indorsement of the Taft administration was given in a statement which is signed with the full name of the Indorsement committee. He can talk with the president without appreciating and respecting his earnestness and sincerity. says the statement. "Personally I believe also in his efficiency. He has been one year in office, and he has certainly accomplished more in that one year than Roosevelt did in his first year. Mr. Roosevelt, according to Mr. Hearst, found the country at the height of prosperity and plunged it into the depths of adversity. "It is hardly fair to compare Taft's one year with Roosevelt's seven, and yet I am not sure that even with that the comparison might not be to Taft's advantage. Taft's methods are not those of Roosevelt, but then Taft probably will not conclude his term with a panic." I. C. DIRECTORS ARE SILENT Charles A.

Mr. Havens is for tariff reform, while his opponent stands on the tariff policies of a Republican national administration. What gave the campaign its fever heat, however, was what the Democrats called the "moral issue," the question of "bossism" and of the personal fitness of Mr. Aldridge to sit in the Oval Office. The evidence that Mr. Aldridge received a check for $1,000 from a representative of the insurance companies for the alleged purpose of influencing legislation is an argument his opponents have kept before the people in Congress.

Pittsburg, Pa.—In a bloody battle between strikers and township constables at McKees Rock Wednesday, at least seven persons were injured, three of whom will likely die. The dying are: Constable James M. Daniels, who is shot into the abdomen and chest; Joe Birnot, a Hungarian striker, shot several times by the constables, and an unknown striker, who refuses to give his name. In addition to this, one of the attacking strikers was hit by a train as he was escaping from the pursuing mob, and knocked over the bank. He is thought to have fallen into the street, and his body could be found in the darkness. A farmer named Hannan was shot through the hand and two unknown foreigners were carried away by their friends, apparently badly injured, but their names cannot be learned. The battle occurred just at dusk in the now notorious Bloody Angle, where so much rioting and bloodshed occurred in the last strike and where the Victor Bank was looted and two employees killed some week ago. COTTON FIRM GOES TO WALL Big Concern With Branches in Many Southern Cities Files Bankruptcy Petition. Decatur, Ala.—Knight, Yancey & Co. Wednesday filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy. This is one of the largest cotton firms in the south, with branch offices in New York—The federal grand jury that is investigating the alleged cotton pool, of which James A. Patten of Chicago is the reputed head, took a recess Wednesday to enable the government attorneys to tabulate and arrange the mass of evidence. The hearing was resumed Thursday and many witnesses summoned were present. The most important development was the unofficial announcement that the present investigation is the first move of the federal authorities toward ending all dealings in futures on staple commodities, whether cotton or the food products.

CANADIAN WHEAT A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manito- ‘Da, dated March 18, 1910 says; That Germany is “anxious to secure a share of Canadian wheat to supply her im- (ports of that cereal.” ‘The recent 84- ‘Justment of the trade relations with Germany has made it possible to carry on Canadian-German trade with much fewer restrictions than in the ‘past, and considerable development ot trade between the two Countries 4s now certain. The great men of the United Staten are alive to the jeat situation in this Country now, and there is consequently the deepest interest in every feature that will tend to increase and conserve the ‘wheat supply. With its present 650,- 00,000 ‘bushel production of wheat and all efforts to increase it almost unavailing, and the rapidly growing consumption of its increasing popula- tion, there 1s certainly the greatest Yeason for the anxiety as to where the wheat is to come from that will feed the nation. The United States will be forced as Germany {s to look to the Wheatfelds of Canada. One province alone raised last year one- eighth az much as the entire produc- tion of the United States, and but a twelfth of the wheat area has yet been touched, The Americans who have fone to Canada, are today reaping ‘he benefit of the demand for Canad! an wheat and they will contthue to Join in the benefits thus reached for © great many years, Splendid yields fare reported from the farms of that Country, and from land that the Gov- ernment gives away im 160 acre Blocks, and from other lands that ave been purchased at trom $12 to $15 an acre. John Munter, near Eye- Drow, Saskatchewan, a former resi- dent of Minnesota says: “Last fall got over 30 bushels of ‘wheat to the acre and had 30 acres of it; also 20 acres spring breaking on which I had flax of which I got almost 20 bushels per acre, Had 20 acres in oats and got 70 bushels per acre ‘and 500 bushels potatoes on one and three quarter acre, and can therefore safely say that I had a fine crop and am well satisfied with my homestead.” He fa considered but a small farmer, but he will be one of the big farmers, some of these days. There aré many others, hundreds of others, whose yields were beyond this, and whose average under crop was vastly greater. The story of the experience of American farmers in the Canadian West 1s a long one. The time to go, would appear to be now, when splen- did selections may be made, and where land can be purchased at priees that will be doubled in a ‘couple of aire, ‘The Response Mechanical. It 1s the custom in convents fdr the nuns to respond to a knock at the door with the words: “In the name of God,” the phrase being equivalent in con- ventional parlance to our worldly “enter or “come in.” Jn @ convent in one of the western cities not long since, the mother supe- rior had a never-to-be-forgotten expe- Tlenee as a result of *his custom. Some one in the outer world called the con- vent telephone number by mistake. ‘The mother superior, roused from her meditations, picked up the receiver and responded mechanically: “In tho name of God.” “Madam!” called an frate masculine voice at the other end of the wire, “there is no occasion for you to swear at me, even if I have made a mistake in the number.

An adult's food that can save ‘aby proves itself to be nourishing and easily digested and good for big and little folks. A Brooklyn man says: “When baby was about eleven ‘months old he began to grow thin and pale. This was, at first, attributed to ‘the heat and the fact that his teeth ‘were coming, but, in reality, the poor little thing was starving, his mother's inilk not being sufficient nourishment. “One day after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a Hittle sugar and warm milk. This baby ate so ravenously that she fixed a sec ‘ond which he likewise finished. “Tt was not many days before he for- got all about being nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on GrapeNuts. Today the boy is strong and robust, and as cute @ mischief. maker as a thirteen months old baby 4s expected to be. “We have put before him other foods, but he will have none of them, ‘evidently preferring to stick to that which did him so much good—bis old friend Grape Nuts. "Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and I can never praise Grape-Nuts enough after the bright- ess it has brought to our household.” Grape-Nuts fs not made for a baby food, but experience with thousands of Dables ahaws it to be smong the best, it'not entirely the best in use.

Des Moines, Apr, 22.—“The entire United States knows Des Moines as representing the best idea in munici pal government that has been devel oped. In originating and adopting the commission system Des Moines did more to advertise itself than any oth- er one single thing has done.” ‘This was the statement of James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior under President Roosevelt, in his ad- dress before the Greater Des Moines committee at luncheon, “It is foolish for a citizen of Cleve- land to come out here and attempt to make suggestions to Des Moines re- garding city government and commer cial affairs.” said Mr. Garfield. “I wa [ix JAMES RUDOLPH GARFIELD, really believ that the people of Des Moines do not fully appreciate how their elty stands out from the others because it took the lead In @ radical change of government.” Mr, Garfield arrived in Des Moines early yesterday morning from Denver. He remained at the Chamberlain ho tel until 9 o'clock when he was. met by Henry Wallace, John Wallace, H. H, Stipp and Walter St. Jobn, repre senting the Grant club. The party immediately went to Drake university, where Mr, Garfield made a short address at chapel exer- elses. Mr. Garfield was the guest of honor and delivered the principal address at the Grant club banquet last night in honor of the elghty-efghth birthday anniversary of Gen. U. 8, Grant. More than 200 members of the club were present ahd the banquet was the great est event in the club's history. Mr. Garfeld's address was one of the strongest ever delivered before the club.

Cooper claims that 90 per cent. of all {0 health 1s due to stomach trou- ble. When interviewed about bis theory recently, he said: “Stomach trouble 1s the great curse of the 20th century so far as the civilized races are con- cerned. Practically all of the chronic fl health of this generation 1s caused by abnormal stomachic conditions, In earlier days, when the human race was closer to nature, and men and women worked all day out of doors, digging their frugal existence from the soll, the tired, droopy, half-stck people that are now so common, did not exist. “To be sure, there was sickness in ‘those days, but {t was of a virulent ‘character, and only temporary. There Was none of this half-sick condition all the time with which so many are afflicted nowadays, “I know positively that every bit of this chronic ill health is caused by stomach trouble. ‘The human stomach in clvilized people today is degenerate. It lacks tone and strength, This weak- ness has gradually come through a sed- entary existence. I further know that few people can be #ick with the diges- tive apparatus in perfect shape, The sole reason for my success 1s because my New Discovery medicine tones the stomach up to required strength in about six weeks’ time. That is why I have had more people come and thank me wherever I have gone to introduce my medicine, than Ihave had time to talk with.” Among the {mmense numbers of peo- ple who are now strong belleyers in Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs. M. B. Delano, a prominent resident of the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass. She says: “For several years I was broken in health, caused primarily by stomach and nerve troubles. I gradu- ally became worse, until recently I was compelled to go without solld food for days at a time, I had sour stomach, palpitation of the nerves of stomach and heart, dyspépsla, and extreme ner- ‘yousness. I suffered terribly with in- somnia, and my liver, bowels and whole system gradually became de- yanged. I felt instant relief the first day I began this Cooper medicine, 1 now feel like a new being.

They would crack ‘open and bleed, itch, burn and ache so that I could not sleep and could do but little work. They were so bad that I could not dress myself in the morning. They would bleed and the blood dropped on the floor. I called ‘on two doctors, but they did me no good. I could get nothing to do any good till I got the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

Among the many practical and strong sermons delivered by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell since becoming pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist church in West Fortieth street, New York, none has been more practical, timely and stirring than the one recently delivered on "The Doctrine of Sanctification." The discourse was founded upon Romans xiil 2, "Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewal what we may prove, that we good and acceptable and perfect will of God," and I Thessalonians iv, 3, "And this is the will of God, even your sanctification." Dr. Powell said in part: "The words 'sanctify', 'sanctified' and 'sanctionality' are derived from the Greek word 'hagios', which means to 'set apart for God'. The word occurs in the Bible more than 100 times. It is applied to animals and other things as well as to persons, but whether 'sanctionality' is used in reference to person or apart for God. When applied to persons the word has two meanings—first, personal purity in heart and life; second, the setting apart of all of our faculties and powers to the service of God. And all of this implies nonconformity to the world. Paul's exhortation 'Be not conformed to this world' is very much needed in our day. It is continually affirmed and with a shocking degree of truth that we cannot conform to the unfortunate majority of church members and the nonchurch members. Go to the public balls and you will find the church members there dancing with the world until 3 a. m. A young man said to me a little while ago when speaking of a certain ball that he did not get a chance to dance because of the Christians. Go to the card and wine parties and you will find some of the leading church members there conforming to the world. Go to the church members who have blitzed drinking with the unabused. To the cheap playhouses where vile men are half dressed and some scarcely dressed at all doing the high kicking act or other stunts that would make the archangels blush and you will find church members there smiling, laughing and applauding, enjoying the pleasures of sin for a season. Go to the 'buffet fats' where liquor is sold in defence of the law and where splendence is offered to women read their first lesson of rationing from the front pages of the black book of damnation and you will find church members there, and, alas, it is said that some of these places are run by people with church connections. "The Detroit (Mich.) Informer had this to say the other day in an editorial: "From the number of cheap theaters and other shows that are always well patronized on Sunday, from the information provided to such people who give or attend public balls, from the large number of leading citizens who simply seem to close their eyes to crookedness and grafting in public officials, from the scandalously large number of male society leaders who publicly consort with members of the demimonde and the seemingly ever increasing number of people who know that it is important that it would indeed seem that the great mass of people were hell bent in search of questionable pleasure." "This editor links the sinful leaders of society and prominent church members together and declares that they are hell bent and hell bound and leading the masses with them. Remember that the Informer is not a religious paper. It is run to give the news and to make money, and if the editor of a secular paper is crying about against the sins of the church, it is the film that the preacher of righteousness should lift up his voice and spare not, even though his bread and butter come from the class of people that are here described. "I am reliably informed that at some of the card and wine parties given by society leaders and prominent church members many of our best women sit with their feet on chairs and smoke cigarettes. What a spectacle! What a defilement of pure womanhood! What a desecration of sacred motherhood! What a damnation of childhood! Think of a mother with a babe hanging on her breast and a cigarette in her mouth! Poor little thing, born into the world with poison in its veins and drawing poison into its stomach! The mental, moral and physical weaklings born of cigarette smoking at the start, is a ploped and doomed to die in smoking and too awful to contemplate. The apology for this latest frenchish fad among some of our women is that 'the white women on Fifth avenue smoke cigarettes.' Well, the white people can afford to go to hell. They have done enough for civilization to commit suicide and give other races a chance. Their achievements stretch back through centuries, but we have just begun to make a small contribution to human progress. No people have had greater opportunities stretching before them than we have, and for God's sake let us not commit racial suicide on the very threshold of these unspeakable opportunities." Mr. L. H. Farnham, a prominent drugist of Spirit Lake, Iowa, says: "Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets are certainly the best thing on the market for constipation." Give these tablets a trial.

Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. Fifty years of success have proved the moritis of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of the Pomade maker, more glorious than Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pliable and glossy, as the Pomade consists consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result is recorded according to directions, two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory conditions, two to four months, regular directions, sufficient for a year.
