I am writing this, Mr. Editor, principally for the benefit of our younger population the country over, to demonstrate to them that a colored man can make good up in this country and be a credit to his race and to his country, even to the extent of being honored repeatedly with responsible office, if he just goes about it in a manly, conscientious, Christianlike way. It might be well to state that only two small families of colored people have ever lived in Prophets-town, so that my success has certainly not been due to any political manipulations among the people of our race.

The first edition 1a chiefly for ‘distribution to members of congress, Dut the bulletin {s of such general in- terest that {ts likely to run through many editions and take ® place with the department's famous “Horse Book” as one of the classics of agri culture. ‘The bird book consists largely of plotures, but, as the introduction says, these are given prominence for a spe- cific purpose. They are small color drawings, made by an artist who Is ‘also an ornithologist. The picture is ‘used In each case as an idetification of the bird, and the 250 words of text that accompany the pleture relate merely to the bird's habits and range ‘and the character of its food. Dr. Henry Henshaw, chief of the iological survey, from which the book 1s fssued, says that the records ft contains are the result of the ex- amination of about 60,000 bird stom- fachs by the experts of the survey in twenty-six years. He adds. however, that these stomachs were obtained, #0 far as possible, from scientific collec- tors, because the birds themselves are too valuable a national asset to be de- stroyed when avoidable, even for the sake of getting data on which to base laws for thelr protection: Dr, Henshaw says that the obje:. of the book is to give farmers and far sa ; aa ot Se ee ee lie \ ee Cu — , Dulld'F.

It gives some fg- ures which show what a large amount ‘of good to agriculture birds do in de- stroying insects and eating weed seeds. He points out that birds are voca- cious eaters and have to work Indus- triously not only for their own food. Dut for the food demanded by thelr everhungry nestlings. In this con- nection he points out that the stom- ‘ach of a single unobtrustive fteld spar. row taken in New York contained three-quarters of an ounce of noxious ‘weed seed. On this basis It could be calculated with fair accuracy that the sparrows alone in New York state de- stroygd annually 845 tons of weed seeds. ‘Many of the other figures given are equally tnteresting and surprising. ‘The author says that nearly all birds are useful elther as insect or weed eaters. Even the birds of prey; ike hawks and owls, that have a bad ame among farmers, do much more good than harm, In the case of @ single owl's nest there were collected from the neigh: borhood 3,000 skulls, mostly those of rodents, such as rate, mice and gophers. “It will not be very long before the American Wireless Telegraph will en- circle the globe.” Wireless to said a prominent Canal Zone, = 837 omeer. ‘Very. soon great naval wireless towers will be con strocted {0 the Panama Canal tone, @uplicating the initial plant at Ar Mington, near Washington.

He personally spent much time experimenting with herbs, classifying them according to thelr supposed cures.

But he did leave his book with the list of curative herbs. It anyone wanted 4o become a doctor, all he did was to read through the Book of Herbs and announce himself a qualified medical healer. “The worst kind of abuses grew out of this. The disease was not as bad as the cure In many cases. The med!- cine men treated with tiger skins, snake skins and leopard skins as well as with herbs. ‘They had a great many superstitions about appeasing the spirits. “I remember the case of a young boy who had convulsions as a result, apparently, or indigestion. ‘The med: {eine man’ who was called in took a needle, threaded {t, pushed It into the boy's stomach as far as It could go, left it there for three hours, and then pulled it out by the thread.

Made to serve for several meals and fat the same time satisty the most critical appetite, This 1s made pow sible by fret having the shad split, using one-half ;for baking, the other half (the done side) for broiling.

Planked Fish—Planked fish should be baked on a board of cedar, hick- ory, oak or ash. Place the board in the oven until very hot.

Sunday was quarterly meeting at the A. M. E. church, at which time Presiding Elder S. B. Moore was present. The evangelist, Rev. J. P. Howard, preached throughout the day. Mrs. Eliza Stokes has returned to her home in Yankton, S. D., for an indefinite stay. Rev. J. P. Howard, who has been conducting revival meetings in our city, will leave Thursday for St. Paul, Minn., where he will hold revival meetings for two weeks and go to Minneapolis to hold meetings also. Sunday will be baptizing day at the A. M. E. church. Ten candidates will go under the water. Mr. F. A. Hackley came home Tuesday from Des Moines, where he has been working for the past three months. The revivals which have been in progress for the past four weeks at the A. M. E. church, conducted by Rev. J. P. Howard, closed Monday night with a grand success. Forty-five members were added to the church, some reclaimed and others converted. The evangelist received $128.50 as a free will offering. May the good work go on. Revival meetings are in progress at the Mt. Zion Baptist church and will hold for several weeks. They are conducted by their pastive, Rev. A great interest is being manifested by all the members. Noticing the death of our editor's father in last week's paper, we extend our heartfelt sympathy to Mr. J. L. Thompson and family. The Lord loveth, The Lord taketh, Blessed be the name of the Lord. ST. JOSEPH, MO., NOTES The annual fair and bazar that was given by the members of the Ebenezer A M. E. church from the 14th to 18th alt. was the most successful one ever given by that church. The net receipts and attendance was in excess of any the previous years. There has been a large number of cases of the measles reported to the board of health during the past month, hence a number of children are unable to attend school. Mrs. Roundtree, the domestic science teacher of Topeka, Kans, spent the latter part of last week as the guest of Miss Ethyl Gross. The opening of the interurban railway from here to Kansas City took place yesterday. The Young Men's Progressive club is one that was organized a few weeks ago. They have a membership of about twenty young men. J. Jackson is president and Jack Gassaway, secretary. They meet once a week. It is a literary and social club. Mr. and Mrs. J. Oliver, 1221 North Eighth street, gave a luncheon last Sunday at 5 p. m. complimentary for Mrs. Roundtown. Only a few of their friends were invited. Mrs. Jas. G. McCullough, the wife of Rev. McCullough, pastor of Halsey Chapel A. M. E. church, after several months' visit in the south, returned home last week. Dr. Laurie of Columbia, Mo., who spent about a week with relatives and friends in this city, has returned to his home. Mayor Pfeiffer has served the city for more than a year, the first republican that has been elected to that position. He has served as our race has not given a member of our race any more positions than the former democratic mayor, which is two jantors at the city hall, a few men sweeping the streets and two colored women in the city rest rooms. We should remember these facts if he is a candidate for re-election next spring. The reception that was given last Friday night at the Masontic hall by the Misses Ethyl Gross, Francis Fields and the Masdames D. E. Taylor and M. Lawrie in honor of Mrs. Roundtree of Topeka, Kans., was the best that has been given in this city for several years. Some very beautiful dresses were worn that night and the fragrance from the flowers added more harmony to the affair. Most all of the men were attired in evening dress and the hall was especially decorated for the occasion. Miss Bessie Lee served the sheeret. More than fifty of their invited guests accepted their invitations by being present to meet the honored guest and spend an evening of pleasure. The Lawn Tennis club has been reorganized for the season. The court is in good condition and in a few weeks some good playing may be expected. Biliousness and Constipation For years I was troubled with biliousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My appetite failed me. I lost my Mental Force recently, and cathartics only made matters worse. I do not know where I should have been today had I not tried Chamberlain's Tablets. The tablets relieve the ill feeling at once, strengthen the digestive functions, purify the stomach, liver and blood, helping the system to do its work naturally—Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birmingham, Ala. These tablets are for sale by all dealers. THE BOY WHO WILL BE FAMOUS Somewhere in the United States is a young fellow between fifteen and twenty, who is making the most of the small opportunities that come to him day by day, little thinking that he will be president of the United States thirty or forty years hence. Somewhere among us is the youth, yet obscure, who will be chief of staff of the United States army, or perhaps full admiral in our navy, or president of a great railway system or other industry. Who knows but one or more of these will get some inspiration from the series of articles on "The Making of Men," to be contributed to The Youth's Companion during 1913? There will be "The Making of a Lawyer," by Governor Harmon of Ohio; "The Making of a Minister," by Bishop Lawrences of Massachusetts; "The Making of a Seaman," by Admiral A. T. Mahan, U. S. N.; "The Making of a Journalist," by Talcott Williams, director of the Pulitzer School of Journalism; "The Making of an Inventor," by Hudson Maxim; "The Making of a Doctor," by William M. Polk, M. D. clinical lecturer in three great medical colleges; "The Making of a Business Man," by Theodore N. Vail, president of the Western Union Telegraph company. This is only a small part of the contents announced for the fifty-two issues of 1913—the equal of thirty bound volumes of the best reading, all for $2.00, or less than four cents a week.

I want you to please send by mail three bottles of shampoo, three boxes of hair oil, three bottles of oil. I like the remedy just fine. I would not be without it for anything. I am using it on my little girl's hair it seems to be helping it greatly. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 20, 1913. Dear Madam Dabney: I am a mother of four girls. In trying to improve their hair I had tried several preparations, but none gave me good results until I used Madam Dabney's X7th Century Preparations. Their hair was thin, harsh and would fall out so that I dreaded to use a comb. Now their hair is growing nicely—does not fall out—has no dandruff—is soft and pretty. Three of these girls are attending Wendell Phillips School, Howard and Vine streets. Investigation will bear out my testimony. I would not be without the X7th Century Preparation in my house.
