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.

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.

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.

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.

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?"

From this’ the wrinkles of care and perplex! During the first long winter to Ply- mouth one-half the little band of pil: grims died. The winter snow covered their leveied graves, and when spring warmth removed that friendly cover ing the survivors planted grain above the graves, that waving blades of wheat or curn might hide the colony's Joss from the cruel eyes of the foe whom fear alone restrained from open warfare. The pilgrims’ hearts were stout, and though thelr 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 thanksgiv. fog ferst they held was in communion with the lost, Secure in the belief that thelr dear ones in happler spheres were rejoicing with them they gave thanks for home, for har Vest, and for hope. Since then Thanksgiving day has been a day of family reunions. The distant son returns, the grandchildren guther around the table, the ol peo ple take pleasure in welcoming the famillar faces that time {s changing and the new faces added to the widen ing family circle. It 1s a day of care less mirth and thankful gladness Some go to church to find an expres sion for the feelings which find them voiceless, and otherrs feel only vague ly. if at all, the need of more than the tacit acceptance and enjoyment of all that the day brings. There are house ‘hold games and the sports of winter, and {f the great football contests seem to overshadow more spontaneous dl versions the actual figures would show that not one in a thousand of the population of the country attends the ‘matches. The thoughts of the preach: era are apt to turn to the betterment of civie oF political conditions, rea soning that the way to show thank fulness for’ public blessings 1s to pro eure more of them. Not even these eerious thoughts can turn the charac ter of the day away from that im. pressed upon it at the beginning, an occasion for feasting on what Provi dence 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 fs to re jorce. For what ts 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 mo Ittle 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 Thankegiving serv- fce, if we attend it, we eve ourselves ‘to « deliberate. enumeration of our blessings and remember, perhaps, now many there are less favored than our- selves, There ts not time for a com: plete and permanent smoothing out of the wrinkles of care and perplexity before we elt down at the bountifully Jaden table, but on the whole we are ready to enter Into the spirit of the time. Is Thankegiving, then, a rever. sai 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 un- Aisputed right of way in the Thanks- giving searon ought to be the right of way for all the year.

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.
