NEW REGISTER OF THE TREASURY NEW REGISTER OF THE TREASURY Coveted Position Given to John C. Napier of Tennessee. FINANCE IS HIS STRONG FORTE President Taft Appoints Well Known Lawyer and Business Man to Succeed the Hon. W. T. Vernon as Register of the United States Treasury. Clean Political Record. By OLIVER RANDOLPH Quite forty years have passed since a coterie of southern colored boys entered Oberlin college and drank of her fountain of learning. It is a peculiar coincidence that two of them should attain the high position of register of the United States treasury. The first was Blanche K. Bruce of Prince Edward county, Va., who had REGISTER AND MRS. J. C. NAPIER. that honor conferred upon him by two presidents. The second is John C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn., who will assume the duties of that office in February, 1911. On of that small group of Negro students that gathered in Oberlin in the twilight of Negro freedom under the guidance of the learned John Mercer Langton have come some noted men. Bruce became a United States senator, was twice register of the treasury and was also recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Settle went into the law and has attained distinction as a splendid lawyer and brilliant orator. Napier also took up the legal profession, in which he made good; then he became a financier. He founded and is at present the cashier of one of the strongest banks conducted by Negroes in this country. When he goes to Washington in February he will be amply prepared to take up the duties that await him. Finance is indeed the strong force of John C. Napier, and in this new field of labor he will be given greater opportunities for the display of his financial skill. In Tennessee the name of Napier is a passport of business integrity and confidence. His rating in Dun's and Bradstreet's is most creditable, and his success as a financier is attested by his comfortable circumstances and the possession of a goodly portion of "worldly goods." While his companions were in politics he was in business, and now when his business is in such excellent shape he turns aside to political diversion more as a call of duty than one of necessity. Mr. Napier is no stranger to Washingtonians. There he studied law in Howard University Law school, and there he led one of the accomplished daughters of Hon. John M. Langston to the altar to become his wife. His political record is clean and above reproach. He has been a favorite with both factions of the Republic party in his state for years. In the campaign leading up to the nomination of candidate for president Mr. Napier was an ardent supporter of Judge Taft, and he contributed much to the success of the Republican ticket. Mr. Napier is a member of the Jeanes fund board, a member of the board of trustees of Howard university, chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Business league and is also a member of fraternal and religious organizations. The position of register of the treasury is a most responsible one. The signature of that official must be affixed to the currency of this nation. The position has been held by three colored men besides Mr. Napier-B. K. Bruce, Judson W. Lyons and William T. Vernon. Grand Echo Concert at Springfield.

Corn-Husking All-Absorbing Employment of Iowa Farmers MAY REDUCE CORN ESTIMATE Prospect of Chaapar Corn This Year Leads Many Farmers to Bring In "Feeders" to Consume Sidney, ia, Nov. 17—Corn husking will soon be the ablaboration employment of the country people. Some are already in the fields, and soon every farmer will be in the work. No large yields have been reported so far, in fact, inquiry among the most conservative corn raisers indicate that a deduction will have to be made on the estimates given out a month ago; as some fields contain a number of stalks with no ears, while others show a reduced yield on account of ears not grown. The new crop is of an excellent quality and is worth on the market from 33 to 35 cents per bushel, but very, very little is changing hands at that price. Owing to the prospects of cheaper corn than usual every locality is reporting that the number of feeding cattle being shipped in is considerably larger this fall than for a good many seasons past. The experience of last year's early and severe winter is such that the farmers do not care to have it repeated, and is responsible for the present anxiety of the farmers to the corn in order to be as possible, this month as soon as possible more later in the season. As a result of these conditions huskers are in demand and are getting from three to four cents per bushel. It is reported that it is easy husking. No Trace of Lost Iowa Girl. Nevada—Floissie Kent, the 16-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kent of this city, disappeared from her home in this city on the evening of Sept. 14 and so far all efforts to locate her have proven futile. A couple of days subsequent to her disappearance a young man from Colo, acknowledged to having driven the girl to Ames, where she told him she was engaged to work. Later the night ticket agent at Ames identified a photograph of the girl as one who had purchased a ticket to Formosa, Kan., upon the night in question. Inquiries of the police and others at the Kansas town have failed to locate the girl or gain any further information that she has met with foul play while going through Omaha. The parents have no idea of the reason for the girl's leaving, as she had neither trouble at home or elsewhere, so far as they knew. She had neither relatives nor acquaintances in the Kansas town where it is supposed she bought the ticket for and no reason for going there can be ascribed. She borrowed money from a neighbor woman with which to get away from town. The girl is 16 years old and girl and wife about 120 pounds. She was dressed well and carried her clothing in a suit case. Local officers have been working on the case since the time of the disappearance, but have accomplished little.

Marshalltown—Farmers in this county are watching anxiously a test made by assistant veterinarians of the government's formula for hog cholera on the herd of James Jenna, an animal care worker, who out in the Jensen herd about ten days ago, and as soon as the animals began to die the serum was used to inoculate not only the animals that were stricken, but those that did not yet show any sign of the disease. There were eighty-six head in the herd, and the serum was used after for nine months, in more than a year that hog cholera has made its appearance in the county. Under the direction of Rr. Paul O. Koto, state veterinarian, Dr. H. E Talbot of Des Moines, and Dr. F. J. Neilman of this city, assistants, a high grade Holstein cow blonging to the dairy herd of M. M. Belden of Grinnell, was slaughtered here to make a postmortem examination for tuberculosis. The cow had failed to respond to the tuberculin test, and owner wanted to know for sure whether the cow was diseased.

G. C. lee, restraining the Chicago Great Western railway from ignoring the Gleason Coal company's demand for transportation of coal from their mines at Coalville. The injunction involves an interesting point of law and the case to follow also is attracting much interest because of peculiar legal phases. The Chicago Great Western associtated to remove its tracks from Gypsum to Coalville, a spur offering Coalville's mines an outlet, but the ruling made by Judge Lee supports the belief that the railroad cannot do this.

THOUGHT ONLY OF THE GAME Filial Affection Lost Sight of by the Small but Enthusiastic Lover of Football. Among the spectators at a match between the Blackburn Rovers and the Olympic was a little lad. Though the boy's knowledge of the game may have been limited, his notion of correct play was extremely robust. "Go it, 'Lympic,' he yelled. 'Rush 'em off their pins. Clatter 'em. Jump on their chests. Bowl 'em over. Good for yer. Mow 'em down. Scatter 'em, 'Lympic.' When his parent neatly 'grassed' one of the opposing forwards, the youngster expressed approval by bawling. 'Good for yer, oden 'en,' adding proudly to the spectors, 'Feyther 'ad 'im sweet." "Yea," said a hearer, "but he'll get killed before the game's finished." "I don't care a carrot if he does," said the boy—London Tit-Bits.

DRINK WATER TO CURE KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM The People Do Not Drink Enough Water to Keep Healthy, Says Well-Known Authority. "The numerous cases of kidney and bladder diseases and rheumatism are mainly due to the fact that the drinking of water, nature's greatest medicine, has been neglected. Stop loading your system with medicine and cureuria; but get on the water, nature's greatest medicine, if you are really sick, why, of course, take the proper medicines—plain, common vegetable treatment, which will not shatter the nerves or ruin the stomach." To cure Rheumatism you must make the kidneys do their work; they are the filters of the blood. They must be made to strain out of the blood the waste matter and acids that cause rheumatism; the urine must be neutralized, and the source of irritation to the bladder, and most of all, you must keep these acids from forming in the stomach. This is the cause of stomach trouble and poor digestion. For these conditions you can do no better than take the following prescription: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarparapalli, three ounces. Mix by the following teaspoonful doses each meal and at bedtime, but don't forget the water. Drink plenty and often. This valuable information and simple prescription should be posted up in each household and used at the first sign of an attack of rheumatism, backache or urinary trouble, no matter how slight. MINERS ON STR1KE Over Two Hundred Workers at Clive Colliery Walk Out ORDERED BACK BY OFFICIALS Men Claim Grievance Over Weighmaster, but United Mine Workers. of America Officials Say Not Sufficient for Strike. Des Moines, Nov. 18.—Two hundred union coal miners employed at the Gibson miles, located at Clive, six miles from Des Moines, dropped their tools Thursday morning and refused to go to work, the trouble arising over a nonunion man pulling off checks from coal cars as they reached the top of the mine. At noon it was unofficially stated that the state officers of the United Mines Workers of America had ordered the miners to go back to work, the grievance not being sufficient to call a strike on. According to John Gibson, manager of the mine, the men wanted the company to have a union man placed at the top of the mine to take the check off of cars, a small check that shows what miners filled the car with coal. The weighmaster at the mine had been taking off the checks. The men claim he is a nonunion man and they will not work until a union man is placed in this position.

Looking After the Eggs. Lady Betty, who is four years old and never misses a trick, was taken the other evening to a restaurant for her supper, and with all the importance and sprightly dignity of her years calmly ordered poached eggs on toast. While the little family group was awaiting its service the "kiddie" amused herself by looking out of the window, pressing against a screen to get a closer view of something below. She was warned by her mother that she would fall to the sidewalk, perhaps injuring her terribly. She drew away, thought a minute, and then said naively: "Would I fall if the screen went out?" "You certainly was" was her mother's reply. "And would I get awful hurted?" "Very likely." "Then what would the man do with the eggs?"

Channing Pollock cites a certain melodrama, produced a few years ago on Fourteenth street, as containing the busiest and most inconsistent villain ever created. In the first act, he tied the beautiful heroine to a railroad track just as the limited was due. In the second, he lured her into an old house, locked her in an upper room and set the place on fire. In the third, he strapped her under a buzz saw and set the machinery in motion. In the fourth, he tore the planking out of the Brooklyn bridge, so that her automobile plunged through to the raging good below. In the fifth act he started to make love to her. She shrank from him. "Why do you fear me, Nellie?" he asked—Success Magazine. BADY WASTED TO SKELETON "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come out on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad that I had to to his hands in clothes at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. "My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I sent to a drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of the Ointment and followed directions. At the end of two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. I can sincerely say that only for Cuticura my child would have died. I used only one cake of Cuticura Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. "I am a nurse and my profession brings me into many different families and it is always a pleasure for me to tell my story and recommend Cuticura Remedies.

Many former coffee drinkers who have mental work to perform, day after day, have found a better capacity and greater endurance by using Postum instead of ordinary coffee. An Illinois woman writes: "I had drank coffee for about twenty years, and finally had what the doctor called 'coffee heart.' I was nervous and extremely despondent; had little mental or physical strength left, had kidney trouble and constipation "The first noticeable benefit derived from the change from coffee to Postum was the natural action of the kidneys and bowels. In two weeks my heart action was greatly improved and my nerves steady. "Then I became less despondent, and the desire to be active again showed proof of renewed physical and mental strength. "I am steadily gaining in physical strength and brain power. I formerly did mental work and had to give it up on account of coffee, but since using Postum I am doing hard mental labor with less fatigue than ever before."

Neebit "And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of thanksgiving.—Psalm civil. 22. Lord, what have I but empty hands, And aching feet from hopeless quests, And memories of barren lands, And days and years of sore unrests? The censer that Iain would swing Holds neither fragrant herb nor spice; There are no first-fruits I may bring To heap in thankful sacrifice. Shall I amid life's stubble glean To find the grain the harvest leaves, Then gaze, contented and serene. The while my neighbors count their sheaves? There is no gold, nor house, nor land That I may wean them is mine; I may not measure with my hand Thy tithing of my corn and wine. Had I all these, then might I kneel And pray with fervent, easy speech That were an echo of my weal, Of all that wean within my reach. Shall I with pharisaic love Bow down and play the hypocrite, And fling my prayer in Thy face— With not a heartborn word in it? Nay, not in money let me count The worth of all that I have had; Nor miserlike fall the moon, Of what rich gifts have made me glad. Though I have tasted of defeat, Still have I left the strength to rise. The tempter or the foe to meet With newer courage in my eyes. So, thus I pray with empty hands— But not, Lord, with an empty heart; Though from fair houses and rich lands My lines are ever cast apart; Poor in all things save this; That I Need never thank Thee for my spoil And that there is no haunting sigh To break my slumber after toll. (Copyright by W. O Chapman.) Thanksgiving Not Complete If a Face Is Missed From the Household Gathering. During the first long winter in Plymouth one-half the little band of pilgrims died. The winter snow covered their levied graves, and when spring warmth removed that friendly covering the survivors planted grain above the graves, that waving blades of wheat or corn might hide the colony's loss from the cruel eyes of the foe whom fear alone restrained from open warfare. The pilgrims' hearts were stout, and though their eyes might grow dim at times in looking over the fields where only mysterious patches of a brighter green revealed to their sad knowledge the secret of a hidden grave, they dashed away the tears and only strove the more to carry on the task those tired fingers had let fall. And when autumn came with its abundant harvest the great thanksgiving feast they held was in communion with the lost. Secure in the belief that their dear ones in happier spheres were rejoicing with them, they gave thanks for home, for harvest, and for hope. Since then Thanksgiving day has been a day of family reunions. The distant son returns, the grandchildren gather around the table, the old people take pleasure in welcoming the familiar faces that time is changing and the new faces added to the widening family circle. It is a day of careless mirth and thankful gladness. Some go to church to find an expression for the feelings which find them voiceless, and others feel only vaguely, if at all, the need of more than the tacit acceptance and enjoyment of all that the day brings. There are household games and the sports of winter, and if the great football contests seem to overshadow more spontaneous diversions the actual figures would show that not one in a thousand of the population of the country attends the matches. The thoughts of the preachers are apt to turn to the betterment of civic or political conditions, reasoning that the way to show thankfulness for public blessings is to procure more of them. Not even these serious thoughts can turn the character of the day away from that impressed upon it at the beginning, an occasion for feasting on what Providence has bestowed in reward for courage and for toll. The minor strain that runs through the music of the affections is heard by those whose hearts once thrilled to voices silent now but the spirit of the day is to rejoice. For what is secure in memory, for the blessings of the year and the day, for the promise of the future, may we be truly thankful. SET AFART FOR GRATITUDE Thanksgiving the Day of All Days on Which We Should Remember Our Blessings. On Thanksgiving day most of us, with deliberate intention and perhaps no little effort, close the door by which grumbles enter and open wide the other door that lets in praise. For once gratitude has the right of way and we are just a little bit ashamed to be found in the dull company of complaint. At the Thanksgiving service, if we attend it, we give ourselves to a deliberate enumeration of our blessings and remember, pernaps, now many there are less favored than ourselves. There is not time for a complete and permanent smoothing out of the wrinkles of care and perplexity before we sit down at the bountifully laden table, but on the whole we are ready to enter into the spirit of the time. Is Thankgiving, then, a reversal or an occasional accentuation of the proper habit of a Christian's life? If there must be rusty hinges, should they be upon the doors of praise, while the other-door of grumbling works with constant ease? The undisputed right of way in the Thankgiving season ought to be the right of way for all the year. Praise first then grumble, if you positively must, but be sure to give the right of way to gratitude. That would be better for our homes than a big legacy, and more smoothing to our foreheads than any of the measures the beauty makers recommend—Congregationalist. !*??!

Song of the Plump Turkey. I am growing quite uneasy, I'm so fat I'm getting wheezy. For a month they've kept me fed till my suspicions are aroused—Aye, so fat I merely wobble, and I hardly care to gobble. And at night they all take my pain to see that I am safely housed. I surmise there some things doing—can it be there's trouble brewing?— From the time they take it's all manner still as can be. Every bone in me is shaking and my very soul is quaking.

The storms of falling— a turkey's life is hard this time of year, as you can see; Woe is me and deep my sobbing, and my heart with grief and sorrow The worst is coming— For I fear the worst is coming—casing mighty quick to me!

Resinol In Three Weeks Does What Other Remedies Failed to Do In Four Months. My baby's tace was like a raw and bleeding piece of meat. I was at my wits' ends what to do. Medicine from three physicians and ointment recommended seemed to make the Eczema worse. Then another mother spoke of Resinol, which I procured at once—remember I had no more faith in it than in all the rest I had tried—but I thought it would be wasting only 50c more. Never did I spend 50c to better advantage, for the first and second days I noticed a remarkable change, and now at the end of the third week I have my pretty blue eyed, rosy cheeked, cooling baby well again. I am safe in saying he is perfectly cured and the cure was surely something remarkable. Your Soap and Ointment did in three weeks what everything else I tried failed to do in four months. My baby was positively disfigured, now his complexion is all right again. Mrs. H. F. Clemmer, Sunbury, Pa. "You Americans," said the London man, "are very fcnd of what you call pie.

No Indigestion, Gas, Sourness or Dyspepsia Five Minutes After Taking a Little Dipepsin. There should not be a case of indigestion, dyspepsia or gastritis here if readers who are subject to Stomach trouble knew the tremendous anti-ferment and digestive virtue contained in Dipepsin. This harmless preparation will digest a heavy meal without the slightest fuss or discomfort, and relieve the sourst, acid stomach in five minutes, besides overcoming all foul, nauseous odors from the breath. If your stomach is sour and full of gas, or your food doesn't digest, and your meal don't seem to fit, why not get a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any druggist here in town, and make life worth living. Absolute relief from Stomach misery and perfect digestion of anything you eat is sure to follow five minutes after, and besides, one fifty-cent case is sufficient to cure a whole family of such trouble. Surely, a harmless, inexpensive preparation like Pape's Diapepsin, which will always either at daytime or during night, relieve your sick, sour, gassy, upset stomach and digest your meals, is about as handy and valuable a thing as you could have in the house. A stubborn desire to get even has brought about many a man's downfall. There are a good many heroes in novels who couldn't earn a living in real life. Have You Tried? Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound? We can furnish positive proof that it has made many remarkable cures after all other means had failed. Women who are suffering with some form of female illness should consider this. As such evidence read these two unsolicited testimonial letters. We guarantee they are genuine and honest statements of facts. Cresson, Pa.—"Five years ago I had a bad fall, and hurt myself inwardly. I was under a doctor's care for nine weeks, and when I stopped I grew worse again. I sent for a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, took it as directed, and now I am a stout, hearty woman."—Mrs. Ella E. Alkey, Cresson, Pa. Baird, Wash.—"A year ago I was sick with kidney and bladder troubles and female weakness. The doctors gave me up. All they could do was to just let me go as easily as possible. I was advised by friends to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier. I am completely cured of my fills, and I am nearly sixty years old."—Mrs. Sarah Leighton, Baird, Wash. Evidence like the above is abundant showing that the derangements of the female organism which breed all kinds of miserable feelings and which ordinary practice does not cure, are the very disorders that give way to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Women who are afflicted with similar troubles, after reading two such letters as the above, should be encouraged to try this wonderfully helpful remedy. For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health free of charge.

To Whom It May Concern: After reading in the Philadelphia Tribune of Madam T. D. Perkins, the Madam Madam. This is the third month I have used your scalp treatment, and I am greatly pleased with its success. My hair has grown more than four inches, and has taken on new life. It is very soft. I am very well pleased with the treatment Philadelphia, Penn. April 24, 1910. Scalp Specialist of Denver, Coin, demonstrating in Philadelphia, I decided to write her relative to my hair. I received a prompt reply, and sent for her treatment at once. Being so well pleased with the same I went to Philadelphia to have her give me a personal treatment. I never used anything that was so wonderful for the hair, as her treatment. My hair started to grow from the very first, the treatment not only causes the hair to grow, but removes dandruff and makes the hair soft and glues. My husband thinks my hair is beautiful and says that it is the best I have ever used. I advise all good women that want good hair to write Madam Perkins, for she is doing just what she advertises to do, for those that will carefully follow her instructions. Dear Mrs. Perkins: How much I wished I had known you years ago, and taken your treatment for the hair. I would have had better hair today if I had. In the few months I have used your treatment there is such a decided change in my hair and scalp. This is the best treatment I ever used or heard of before, and if your customers would call the truth they will say the same. I know of your work and would take your treatment. I have known Mrs. T. D. Perkins more than ten years and never knew her to have hair more than two inches long until the just three years. I was more than surprised when she took her hair down to prove to me it was all her own. I put my scalp in her charge at once, and words can no longer express that my hair was in a dreadful condition. Mrs. Perkins' first treatment proved beyond a doubt her knowledge of the care of the scalp. I trust every woman who may read this will write Mrs. Perkins and secure a place in her chasement for beautifying and growth of the hair. Dear Madam: I have been using your hair treatment for four months, and I must say it is wonderful. My hair was so short I could hardly pin it up when I began using it, and in one week's time I could see an improvement. I have used many things on my hair to make it grow, but none ever did the good yours has. I can without exaggeration say this is the most wonderful tonic I have ever used. My hair has grown wonderfully since I started to use it, and I must say I am highly pleased with the method of treatment, and I can and will gladly recommend you to anyone wanting their hair to grow. Any one wishing to know more about this wonderful treatment and its growing qualities can write or call at my address, 1855 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL I take great pleasure in writing you a few lines, to let you know how well I like your scalp treatment. I think it is fine. Yes, it is grand. My scalp is clean and my hair is black and full of life, and is growing nicely. It is much thicker, and I have only been using the treatment six weeks, and I see such a great change in my hair, and scalp, I hope I will be able to say more of your wonderful scalp treatment in my next letter. Yours truly, Mrs. S. A. CASHWELL, Carthage, Ind. Sept. 24, 1910. Dear Madam Perkins: I have been using your scalp treatment for four months and I must say it is wonderful.
