When an article has weathered the storms for over fifty years and during this time has grown and made friends wherever it has been introduced, puts the stamp of approval on it, and without a doubt should be placed in a class above the average. This paper takes pleasure in telling its readers of one remedy that has this record. This remedy that has this record. This remedy is Ford's Hair Pomade, the old time tried remedy for kinky, hash, curly and unruly hair. Its use for the last fifty years, helped many whose hair was so short, harsh and kinky that it was the next thing to impossible to do anything with it, or put it up in any style which would confine the snarls the least possible, but the use of the Ford's 'air Pomade has done a great deal towards eliminating this trouble for our ladies, and now thousands and thousands of ladies all over the United States have long waxy hair and we are in a position to know that many have Ford's Hair Pomade to thank for it. Mr. Ford advertises only to the colored people and patronizes every colored paper of any worth that he knows of, thus helping us and thinks it is no more than right that our people should patronize Mr. Ford.

The growth of the crème against tuberculosis in the United States is shown to good advantage in the two situations that have been found by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and the one in preparation. The first tuberculosis directory published in 1994, by the tuberculosis committee of the New York Charity Organization Society and the National Association listed 133 sanitaries and hospitals for consumables in the United States, for some of which preliminary provision only has been made. The combined capacity of these institutions was only 8,000 beds. Thirty-two special dispensaries and thirty-one anti-tuberculosis organizations summed up practically all of the fighting force enumerated in the first directory. The second directory was prepared by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and published under the auspices of the Censsor Sage Foundation in August, 1905. This directory listed 260 sanitaries and hospitals, an increase of 107 from the former directory; 158 dispensaries, an increase of 129; and 156 associations, an increase of 156. The number of hospital beds listed in 1908 was 14,614. The new directory that will be issued soon, will list over 410 ammunition and hospitals with a bed capacity of nearly 25,000; more than 300 special tuberculosis dispensaries; and fully 450 and tuberculosis associations and committees. Since the first directory was issued in 1904, the increase in the number of agencies fighting consumption aggregates nearly 500 per cent. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis would like to get in touch with all agencies engaged in the fight against tuberculosis, in order that they may be listed in the new directory.

A quick-witted boy, asking food at a farmhouse too recently ravaged by other hungry fishing truants, was told that he was big enough to wait until he got home. "Of course, if you have children with you—" hesitated the kindly woman of the house, and was immediately informed that there were six children in the party.

I took various tonics prescribed by physicians, but their effects wore off shortly after I stopped taking them. My food did not seem to nourish me and I gained no flesh nor blood.

OHIO AGAIN ELECTS HARMON Political Tidal Wave Sweeps the Country—New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, New Jersey and Connecticut Democratic. Chicago, No. — The elections held throughout the country Tuesday resulted in a political convulsion of far-reaching effect, similar at many points to the famous tidal wave of 1882 and apparently more widespread in its effect. The indications toward midnight were the national house of representatives had been carried by the democrats, reversing the present republican majority. The United States senate will probably have a reduced republican majority as a result of legislative elections held in many states. The United States governor, A. Dix, democratic candidate for governor, was elected over Henry L. Stimson, republican, by a plurality of about 60,000, reversing the republican plurality of 59,000 in 1908 for Governor Hughes.

Bass, republican candidate for governor, is leading C. E. Carr, democratic candidate, by about 6,000 plurality. In Pennsylvania the election of John K.

McGowen, is claimed by a reduced majority and the return of Senator LaFollette to the United States senate is assured. Charles S. Oeborn, the republican candidate for governor, appears to have a safe lead over L. T. Hemans, democrat. LANDSLIDE IN NEW YORK. Normal Republican Majority Update In Greatly Reduced. New York, N.Y., 9.—John A. Dix, a business man and the first democratic nominee elected in sixteen years, will be the next governor of New York. He is a member of the Republican Henry L. Slimson, republican, for whom Theodore Roosevelt stumped the state, by a plurality based on nearly complete returns of from 55,000 to 65,000. New York City gave him a plurality of votes, and the nominee came down to the Bronx with about 40,000, leaving a substantial dead for the democratic nominee. Thomas F. Conway, the democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, appears to have been the only office still held by Mr. Dix. Returns were lacking to show who takes the lesser state offices, but indications pointed to democrats. Both the assembly and senate returns ran strongly. The senate also cast notable votes in even the congressional districts. Representative Herbert Parsons, a lifelong friend and political associate of Theodore Roosevelt and former chairman of the republican county committee, was ousted by Jefferson M. Colonel's Home Seat Goes. Representative W. W. Cocks, of Nassau county, the Doree Rosevelt's home seat, was tipped by Martin Littleton. William S. Bennett was defeated for congress by Henry George, a son of Senator Robert Littleton, latter of the tariff bill, was reelected, but his home town, Auburn, went for Dix, and Vice President Sherman's candidate for congress was defeated. He was elected to the House. Fish republican, gave ground to Richard E. Connell, a democrat. Not only did Colonel Rosevelt lose on the state ticket, and his candidate for congress in Nassau county, he was defeated by the democrats jubilantly shouted they had "beat him to a frazzle." Democrats Sweep Illinois Chicago. Nov. 9.—With five out of the twenty-five of the Illinois congressional districts yet to be heard from, twelve democratic congressmen and eight representatives present representation in congress consists of nineteen republicans and six democrats. It is probable that final results will show the democrats as having the larger number of representation than the Illinois congressional operation. Late returns show that the democrats have elected every candidate on the Cook county ticket. **Big Reward for Actress.** New York, Nov. 7.—to back his billef that Harvey Elmore, the wife of Dr. Harvey Hawley Crippen, still lives, Dr. J.

He Will Be a Candidate in the Democratic Congress. Dowling Green, Mo. Nov. 9.—I am an avowed candidate for speaker of the house of representatives, said Mr. Clinton, a presumptive candidate. He hopes he will be elected. Others have announced their candidacy for the speakership, but I expect to win over them. The election tonight is a sure end to the objective house rules. I have more than doubled my majority." Champ Clark, minority leader in the house of representatives, when advised last night that democrats prohibit representatives expressed his gratification and predicted that the majority will be fifty democratic members. The sandleid, said Mr. Clark, "is attentive to the fact that the fight on the rules in the house. The rules split the republican party and the tariff bill coming so soon after caused dissatisfaction throughout the country." Mr. Clark predicted his re-election in the Ninth district by 4,000 votes. FOSS WINS IN BAY STATE. Democrats Also Gain in Legislature, But Logo Yet Uncertain. Boston, Mass., Nov. 9.—With the high cost of living and the Payne- Aldrich tariff bill and certain labor measures as the principal issues, the democrats won the state election, and won a former republican, in the chair occupied by Governor Draper for the last two years. Early returns showed the democrats came near carrying their victory along to other offices on the state ticket. The Democrats also materially jeopardize the chances of the return of United States Senator Henry C. Lodge. HARMON W... IN OHIO. Democratic Governor 'Reflected by Largely Increased P plurality. Cleveland, O., Nov. 9.-Judson Harmon, democrat, was re-elected governor of Ohio by a largely increased number of 259 precincts of the 4,526 in the state. Even the approximate figures are still in doubt, owing to a considerable switch in various districts of the state. Two years ago he was elected by 19,000. In fifteen Cleveland counties he received fourteen votes to a prescript, partly overbalancing the republican gain of thirty to a prescript in Cincinnati. The complexion of the legislature is still in doubt, but indicaions are it will be close. Cural districts are showing large democratic gains. NEBRASKA DEMOCRATIC. It Eltes Hitchcock Senator by About Twenty Thousand. Omaba, Neb. Nov. 9—With half of 1,800 products to hear from, the indications are that Nebraska has gone democrat by 2008. The governor is to the election of Gilbert M. Hitchcock, democrat, for United States senator by majority of over 20.00. The gubernatorial result will not likely be known for twenty-four hours, the result being very close at 10.00 p.m. The Nebraska congressions.

Towner's Big Lead. Osceola, Ia. Nov. 9. — Towner will be elected to congress by from 4,000 to 6,000. He concedes him 6,000. Carroll has been badly, but has received considerable democratic vote.

No Fear of Further Kidney Trouble Mrs. Josiah Clinker, State St. Tama, Iowa, says: "My first symptom of kidney trouble was intense pain in my back. This grew worse until I ached in every part of my body. I rest poorly and was so stiff in the morning found I had to dress. I had to tire easily, lost feath and was in a bad way. I was well in every part of my body. I rested poorly and was so stiff in the morning I found a dress. I became tired easily, lost flesh and was in a bad way. I was well pleased with the quick relief Donan's Kidney Pills gave me. They drove the paina away and restored my kidneys to a normal condition. I have been free from kidney trouble for six years."

THOUGHT SHE HAD PRACTISED Frenchman's Suspicions Really Something of a Compliment to the Man Who Loves You Claude Graham White, the English aviator, praised, at a dinner in New York, the good fellowship of Americans. "The American woman is regarded abroad as an angel," he said. "The man is admittedly a good fellow, but an angel he is far from being. "You've heard of the Frenchman, perhaps, whose sweetheart spent the summer in America? After her return the poor Frenchman seemed quite blue. "What's the matter with you?" a friend asked. "I am worried," the other muttered, "about my fiancee. You see, since her return from America she kisses so much better than she used to." AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING "Just about two years ago, some form of humor appeared on my scalp. The beginning was a slight itching but it grew steadily worse until, when I combed my hair, the scalp became raw and the ends of the comb-teeth were sore. I was in time there was an intolerable itching, in a painful, burning way, very much as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch and smart when first beginning to heal. Combining my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and tangled terribly because of the blood and scabs. This continued growing worse until I was in despair, really afraid of becoming totally bald. "Sometimes the pain was so great that, when partially awake, I would scratch the worst places so that my finger-tips would be bloody. I could not sleep well well, and after being aleep a short time, that awful stinging pain—would commence and then I would be a neighbor, and I would be a neighbor said it must be salt rheum. Having used Culticra Soap merely as a toilet soap before, I now decided to order a set of the Culticra Remedies—Culticra Soap, Ointment and Pills. I used them according to directions for perhaps six weeks, then left off, as the disease seemed to be eradicated, but toward spring, eighteen months ago, there was a slight rebound, and I was able to recover. I amended the Culticra treatment at once, and had very little trouble. On my scalp I used about one half a cake of Culticra Soap and half a box of Culticra Ointment in all. The first time I took six or seven bottles of Culticra Pills and the last time three bottles—neither an expensive or tedious treatment. Since then I had had no scalp trouble of any kind. Standing up and looking at my knees and had it not been for Culticra I should doubtless be wholly bald. "This is a voluntary, unofficial testimonial and I take pleasure in writing it, hoping my experience will inform Brown, R.F.D. 1, Liberty, Mo. Oct. 29, 1908." Expecting Too Much It was a cold, raw day, but the Neverwsweats and the Fearnoughts were playing a game of ball on the prairie, just the same. The Neverwsweats, his fingers half frozen, failed dismally in getting the balls over the plate. "Aw," said the captain, "I ought we waist one o' dee cold weather pitchers!" "I am," said the shab artist, blowing on his benumbed digits to warn them, "but I ain't a see pitcher, blame ya!" Reporter In Luck City Editor (hurriedly)—Anything new about that suicide in the St. Fashion hotel? Reporter—Not much. The man was 1 stranger, about my size. Shot him with a .32 caliber revolver. Had on a dress suit at the time. The body had been taken to the morgue. City Editor—Bout. That's lucius, well, will probably prevent a big society wedding in an hour. Rush around to the morgue and ask the keeper to lend you that dress suit. Sore throat leads to Tonsillitis, Quinney and Diptheria.

In these eighty counties, Carroll received a total of 168,555 votes, and Porter 154,460. Governor Carroll freedelieve the other twenty counties will bring his total up to over 20,000. in spite of the fight that was waged against Coxson by the liberal element of the state, indications are that he will have as big a majority or even a majority of the candidates on the state ticket. Fifty-three counties give him a plurality over Walters of 32,747, and it is received more than 100,000. In the fifty-three counties he received 133,278, and his opponent 10,531. Clifford Thorne also is coming out of the battle with a big majority, with 100,000 votes received even a higher vote than Palmer, who, it is claimed, was the candidate of the railroads which fought Thorne urging the election of Walter Dewey. Thorne received a total vote in sixty-one counties of 128,518, while Palmer received 138,474, only about 100 less. Dewey's vote was 92,957, while Jones, the other democratic candidate, received 106,992. The legislature will have as large a republican majority on joint bailout as the legislature of last year. **TOTAL VOTE ON GOVERNOR** The total vote on governor in Iowa is 100,000.
