ARTHUR J. BOOKER While making our various tours about the country we are glad to call attention to the progress of our people in the various cities, which is to be seen under the head of "Editor's Observations." It seems fair that we turn our attention to some of Des Moines' people, hence we take pleasure in calling attention to one of our own young men, who was made good, and of whom all of us in Des Moines are proud. The subject of this sketch is our own Dr. Arthur J. Booker. He came to our city about four and a half years ago and from the day he landed has made his way till now he is to be found in a magnificent suite of four rooms on our most busy street. We took a few momenas to look the place over and found everything imaginable for finding out people's troubles. There were scales to weigh on, instruments to take blood pressure, other instruments to tell the condition of the blood, X-Rays, violet lights, nose and throat apparatus and a room nilled with white furniture, which is called a treatment room. Then there was a drug room and laboratory and all kinds of electrical apparatus. We found our old friend, Ira Jones, taking some electric treatments that he said made him feel like a kid again. We were giad and interested in this, not only because Dr. Booker is our family physician, but because it shows the opportunity and possibilities for trained young men and women and the chances in our fair city. Dr. Booker is fortunate in having a competent young woman as a stenographer in the person of Miss Susie Lee of Clarinda, who does public stenography also. Having some business in the large buildings, I thought that I would inquire among some of the leading physicians of the city to see what their opinions were. The first man we struck was the genial Dr. Fay, 12 Hon. Wm. H. Lewis, former assistant U. S. attorney general, who speaks at the A. M. E. church Wednesday evening, August 20th, is one of the most distinguished men of our race in many respects, being a graduate of Harvard university, the greatest educational institution in America, and having served as a member of the state legislature of Massachusetts; was later U. S. district attorney. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. Ru John J. Thompson By JOHN L. THOMPSON. The beautiful city of Galesburg, Ill., was our next stop, which is the county seat of Knox county. There are more than 1,000 colored people living here and many of them are doing well. There are three colored churches. The A. M. E., recently rebuilt and made completely modern, is pastored by Rev. I. Birt, who is leading his congregation to a higher standard. The Baptist church is pastored by Rev. Warren, a young man of power and ability, and they are chief surgeon of the Methodist hospital. He said: "Dr. Booker is one of the best men in the city and is a fine man. Not only did he come from one of the best schools in the country, but he was in Europe before I was. I have been with him in a number of cases at the hospital and always found him to be right. There is no question about him being well equipped." We next talked with our old friend, Dr. Saylor, head of the city board of health. He said: "He is all right; he is safe and trustworthy; his judgment is good. We take his word absolutely over here and he made a fine record with us in the diphtheria epidemic last winter and had remarkable results. Two years ago he did not lose a typhoid case." Dr. Duhigh, who is the secretary of the Polk County Medical society, said: "I am glad you asked me about Booker. I am associated with him in the medical society and regard him as a worthy associate and a clean man. He comes from an accredited school and I am glad that the colored people of the community appreciate him. He is the best Negro doctor I have ever seen, here or in the east. He could not have come from Northwestern if he was not a good man." I have gone at length in this matter to encourage our young men to prepare themselves and results will come. Here is a young man who finished from one of the best schools in the country, spent two years in a hospital and then studied in Paris and London. He taught two years at Drake university and is taking a high stand in his profession and is recognized as a fine physician by the best in the city. What our professional men need is ability to compete with any man in the same line of work and not depend on favors and bluffs. We wish all our men success and want to see them recognized by their fellows for their ability and not begging on account of lack of training. Good luck, Dr. Booker. C ney for the district of Massachusetts and until recently assistant to the attorney general of the U. S., which position is considered equal in rank to that of a member of the president's cabinet, and is the highest political office ever held by a Negro. He is an eloquent and interesting speaker and should be heard by every Negro in Iowa. The meeting opens at 8 o'clock. No reserved seats, so come early. Admission only 25 cents. also doing well. The A. M. E. Mission, formerly the old Christian church, does not have a preacher at present. Rev. W. W. Williams, one of the well known ministers of this district, is resting during the conference year in this city and is doing nicely. Mr. A. L. Harper, one of the leading men of the town, is United States mail carrier, who was appointed to succeed the late Mr. R. Worthington. He is doing well and owns a nice piece of property. Mr. J. W.

Jones is still on the mail service as carrier. Mr. U. G. Davis is still with the City Gas Co. as engineer. He has been with this company for over a half a century and is a skilled mechanic. C. M.

There are but few colored people here, yet most of them are doing nicely. Mr. J. H. Orr is still working at the same place. Mr. Harry Johnson has been suffering for many months from blood poisoning in his hand, which unfits him for any labor at all. He is one of our leading men here. Mrs F. Sullivan runs a successful boarding and rooming house. Mr. E. H Adams is still in the restaurant business. Mr. E. Ellsworth is working for the music store and owns a nice truck garden at the outer edge of the city and is one of our race men in this town. Rev. A. Madison is still here. The A. M. E. church gave a Sunday school picnic, which Ye Editor enjoyed in the afternoon with the Kewanee people. The young ladies had a baseball game with the small boys and many other amusements for the public. Mr. Robert and E. P. Watts are successful young men of this town, also Mr. R. Thomas. From Kewanee we visited Peoria, and here we found the colored people doing a little better than usual. It seems to be a home of business and literary development among our race in this town to what I observed two years ago. There are two churches here and both are doing nicely. Rev.

I used them for some time and am now all right." Sold by all dealers. GIVES PRIZE IN HONOR OF MOTHER. Miss Fannie Grooms of Muscatine, Iowa, because of love for her mother and air race and her interest in the work of Mrs. Laurence C. Jones at Braxton, Miss, has decided to establish a yearly prize of ten dollars for the girl whose record displays the greatest concrete evidence of love for her mother and race. It will always be remembered than Edward N. Taylor, an ex-slave, gave the first forty acres of land and $50 toward the establishment of this school. He will be honored for it long after we have passed away. There are others of our people in Iowa who are well able to do something for their race and The Bystander knows of no needy or worthy place than the Piney Woods school at Braxton. It is a genuine honor to have one's name written in the record of some progressive movement for future generations to refer to in making up the history of the race. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In the matter of zeal for restricting immigration, Mr. Burnett, of Alabama, who heads the house committee, is keeping pace with Senator Dillingham of Vermont, long chairman of the senate committee. This fact, according to Harper's Weekly, is significant. For many years, notwithstanding the south's failure to attract immigrants, southerners in congress pretty generally have helped to vote down measures intended to reduce the number of them. Still the south has kept hoping to get its share of them. There is as yet not enough evidence to show that the south has changed her mind. there may may signify a change in immigration to the south from other immigration to the south from other immigration to the country, which is earnestly solicited. One conjectures that, whatever change has occurred, is due to the character of the bulk of our recent immigration, to labor troubles, and perhaps, to coming prosperity in the southern states. It is quite probable that the southerners, now that times are better than they used to be, are reflecting that racial homogeneity has its value and that one race problem the rich need conference on southern education the need of fresh blood in the south, in agriculture, but it seems they are content in agriculture, but the stocks they have. This feeling apparently is not confined to the white people only. Booker Washington in a recent article takes a hopeful view of the Negro's chances in the competition for work with the white men, but in his "The Man Farthest Down," he says: "I have asked myself what would happen in our southern states if, as some people suggested, large numbers of these foreign peoples were induced to settle there. I greatly fear that if these people should come in large numbers and settle in colonies outside of the cities, where they would have comparatively few educational advantages and where they would be better able and more disposed to work in the cities and languages, we might have a racial problem in the south more difficult and more dangerous than that which is caused by the presence of the Negro. It looks as if the problem of many races is still to be mainly the north's and the west's; as if the south will continue to confine itself mainly to its one great problem—Washington Herald. Articles of incorporation for the Louise Training School for Colored Boys, to be built at Chicago, have been filled with the county recorder. The institution is aimed to "provide home and proper training for such boys as may be committed to its charge." The incorporators are Jailer Will T. Davis, J. Gray Lucas and William O. La Mante. The trustees include also John L. Whitman, J. G. Brumfield, C. M. Reed, the Rev F. Emory Lyon, F. T. Fayling, the Rev J. Jefferson, James McDonald, Mrs. Alice Caldwell, W. C. Ejenkinson, Mrs. Gertrude Howe Britton, Elizabeth McDonald and Mrs. Georgia Davies. Tennessee has entered the list of states having consolidated country schools. By a law lately passed provision is made for the merging of country schools and the transportation of pupils. Mrs. J. D. Hammond of Atlanta, Ga, wife of the president of Paine college, who describes herself as "the child, grandchild and great-grandchild of southern slave owners, has in mind an enterprise which has for its purpose the proper housing of colored people, which she holds is the center of the whole Negro problem. Mrs. Hammond plans to purchase a block of land about six acres in size, and upon four acres to build double three-room houses, each being supplied with modern conveniences, the cost of which she estimates the rent. The result is all these people can pay. With each house garden space is to be reserved in the rear. The extra two acres are to be used as a playground for children, and also afford room for a community house in which can be a kindergarten room, and others for a boy's club, cooking and sewing classes, free baths, a laundry and a drying room. In her campaign for $50,000 to carry out her project Mrs. Hammond has the support of some of the leading bankers, business men and educators of the south. According to the mortality statistics compiled by the United States census bureau in 1906, from a registration area comprising slightly less than one half of the population of the United States, there were 6,324 deaths from whooping cough in that area are children under five years of age. Briguetting the abundant lignites of Baskachewan is interesting the government of that Canadian province, which has sent G. B. Buchell, a mining expert, to Germany to study the utilization of low grade coal. Recent investigations indicate that the greater portion of the diet of the bat consist of mosquitoes, and advance knowledge of this fact in ridding communities in Texas and other southern states of the mosquito pest, says Popular Mechanics magazine. Taking advice is sometimes worse than giving it. Be kind to the lecan. The ancients did not patronise him in the good old summer time, and just look at them today. ' James H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes Fund board and director of the John F. Slater fund, sends the foliage communication to the Boston Trangiert: If I may be permitted I should be glad, through your paper, to call attention to a fine work which has been begun in Nashville, Tenn., for the training of colored social workers. The school is under the direction of a representative board composed of the following: Dr. Kirkman of Vanderbilt university, Dr. Booker T. Washington, Bishop Thirkeld, Hon. J. C. Napier, and others. The moving spirit and executive secretary is Mr. J. E. McCulloch, who is also secretary of the Southern Sociological congress, a man of devoted ability and enthusiasm. Any one who may be interested in this needed work may get information by writing to Mr. McCulloch at the address in need of assistance. I know of few places where assistance would be as wisely bestowed. Two features of this work should commend themselves to people in the north who wish to aid in improving conditions among the colored people of the south. First, the school is inter-church, all denominations being represented on its board. I recently attended a meeting of the board at which were present a leading colored Methodist bishop and also one of the most prominent colored Baptist ministers of the south. Such interdenominational co-operation is much to be welcomed, especially where denominational feelings are so strong. Second, the school is most likely emphasizing the importance of social work in the church. There is great and immediate need of extending this idea throughout the colored churches in the south, and with adequate support this undertaking in Nashville can exercise an important influence in this direction. A fact which is not widely known is that the office of collector of the port at the capital of the United States almost invariably is given to a Negro. The office is not so important as it was, but still carries some prestige with it. Georgetown, a section of Washington, is the port of entry of the capital city, and at one time one of the chief ports of entry to the United States. The highest point of counties of Virginia and Maryland tobacco. Whitefield McKinley, a Negro, is the present collector at Georgetown. W. H. Lewis, a Negro of Massachusetts, until recently held the office of assistant attorney-general of the United States. In fact, if you go down the list a good many high jobs will be found to be filled by the Negroes. Not long ago Negroes held some of the highest positions in the country was a Negro member of the house of representatives, James J. Lynch of Mississippi, until 1900. Lynch was permanent chairman of the Republican national convention which nominated President Harrison. Perhaps the foremost negro politician of the country was old Senator Bruce, who for several years represented Mississippi in the United States senate. His son, Roscoe Conkling Rice, was a prominent student of schools of the district. United States Senator White of North Carolina was also a Negro. Frederick Douglass was a Negro who occupied a prominent position in American politics, but he was nearly white. Although he has no medals of honor, Robert Dorsely, a thirteen-year-old colored youth at Washington, D. C., is a hero in the eyes of his young friends, for the other day, at the peril of his own life, he made a dive in Rock creek and pulled out a drowning boy, also colored. So unimpressed was the rescuer with what he had done that he did not even ask the other boy his name, and the rescued lad, after emitting several quarts of Rock creek water, was so glad to find himself alive that he "beat it" home in quick order. Robert was just preparing to take a dip in what is known as baby water, and he was going to the creek and had on only a portion of his bathing suit when one of his comrades on shore called that a boy had waded out beyond his depth and was sinking. When Robert turned toward the water he could see only the tip ends of the hands of the imperiled one. These disappeared from sight as the young life saver made a flying leap into the water. He soon had the other boy on shore. The youngster was unharmed except from slight strangling and fright. Robert was good as new after the exploit. Reports from 30 states show that 6,251 children died of whooping cough, 4,232 from scarlet fever and 9,579 from diphtheria in these states during the year 1911. The relative mortality from whooping cough, scarlet fever and diphtheria is essentially the same throughout the country, whooping cough being almost everywhere more fatal than scarlet fever and less fatal than diphtheria. Did you ever get nervous prostration from trying to make others happy? No? The meat trust makes the lover of pork chops bristle with indignation. Some people think it is queer that we have no female after-dinner speakers, but there is nothing queer about it. Women tell all they know before dinner is half over. In the southern states alone Negroes are proprietors of 10,000 general stores, 300 pharmacies and 57 banking institutions. In the entire country they own 20,000,000 acres of land and more than 800,000 houses. SPIES AT CAPITAL Recent Theft of the Plans for New Battleship Not an Isolated Case—Big Business Interests Seek "inside information." Washington—The furry occasioned here recently by the disclosure of the fact that certain tracings of the plans for the projected new battleship Pennsylvania had been stolen from the navy department served to enlist a dull period and add a note of excitement to the waning discussion of the California-Japanese "crisis." The officials of the navy department seem entirely in good faith in their declaration that the missing tracings are of comparatively small importance, and do not disclose any "naval secrets" which would be of value to anybody. The experience has been a valuable one, if only because it has brought to notice a condition of carelessness and loose management making it possible for any person in or out of the department to purloin papers or other things of value. The same is true of all of the departments. The corridors of the department's buildings are lined with so-called doorkeepers and messengers; more than would be needed to guard the treasures of royalty. Generally speaking, they serve no purpose whatever except to multiply the annoyance of persons having legitimate business in the department. Right under the noses of this kind of hangers on, and of regiments of clerks—to say nothing of bureau chiefs—information of supposed value is taken, and no one the wiser. Evidently drawing first stolen documents into molting; for several weeks later a duplicate, presumably in a more finished condition, was stolen from the same room. And there have been other thefts since of things of lesser value, but all contributing to indicate that some one within the navy department was guilty. As usual, the empty stable was carefully locked and a force of detectives was set to work to watch every person who might have access to the place. It is typical of the present state of the public mind that there should be all this furore over a thing of this kind, affecting the subject of war. The theft of a so-called "military secret" is received with a gusto attaching to other things. Employees of fortress ships and such like is no doubt a terrible thing, and the foreign "app" or domestic traitor who does it should be forthwith arrested and visited with dire penalties. Yet upon second thought one wonders of what special use it would be to a foreign naval commander to know, however minutely, the system of electric wiring on the ship with which he was going forth to do battle. With which of his heavy guns will he aim so accurately as to cut the slender nerve that controls the forward turret or all the turrets of the enemy? Gunnery has attained remarkable perfection, no doubt; but hardly has it reached the point where the location of wires becomes a part of the curriculum of the gunner. As for the general plan and construction of the battleship, everything practical that one could learn from drawings may be observed by any visually beautifully accurate models of the ships of the United States navy which line the corridors of the navy department and afford material for the eloquence of a *core* of guides. It is most likely that some poor creature in one of the navy department bureau saw in these drawings for the Pennsylvania, so ready to his hand and unprotected by even the most superficial system of care, a chance to peddle supposedly valuable secrets to the naval attacke of some foreign embassy. In any club of Washington you can hear plausible a kind of sort of thing, the nation of the alleged offender varying with the nationality of the narrator. Now, you must be careful of the celery you eat. Almost everything else Celery Under odible has been condemned or off-suspicion. "suspected" at one time or another, but celery has managed to escape up to this time. Now the department of agriculture has discovered that there is copper in lots of celery, and has issued a warning to give it to farmers before putting it on the table. The copper comes from & spray used by the farmers to kill bugs. The department says: "The use of salts of copper in food products was decided by the referee board to be deleterious to health. Under food inspection decision, 148 and 149, the importation of canned fruits and canned vegetables green+1 with copper has been stopped. This is parallel to the laws of France, where the use of copper vessels is forbidden in packing food products. "The proof of the presence of copper in raw celery was obtained by analysis of samples offered for sale in the markets of the District of Columbia and other cities. Analysis of four different samples of celery showed that before washing the edible part of the outside stalks contained from 0.1 to 0.3 percent copper, less than one-sixth to one-half of copper per two and one-quarter pounds of celery. "The copper in the inside or heart of stalks-was much smaller in amount Dense Air Magnifies Sound. It is said that a man in a balloon may lower an explosive on a cord several hundred feet below his basket and set it off with an electric wire and battery. There is a sharp little "crack" like the report of a bolet rife, then comes the most terrifying noise, like a great burst of thunder, the loudest ever heard. The actual explosion did not make anywhere near this amount of noise, but the air being much more dense below causes the line of least resistance to be straight up and so and ranged from 3.8 to 10.3 parts per million. In the leaves of the celery, however, which are parts of the plant especially sprayed with bordeaux mixture, there were found from 157.6 to 288.4 parts of copper per million parts. The chemists found that most of the copper in the inner and outer stalks disappeared on washing." The United States Treasury handled in actual cash during the fiscal year ended June 30 the stupendous sum of $753,200,000 breaking all records and stamping the federal treasury, officials "oclare, as the greatest barking institution in the world. Reflecting the tremendous growth of the government's business, this high record, including income, outgo and operations within the Treasury, exceeded the cash transactions of the previous year by $469,765,000, and those of three years ago by $1,478,826,000. The figures show that treasury officials during the year just closed handled in cash nearly twice the amount of the total stock of money in the United States, which is estimated at $3,720,000,000. Including bonds, checks and warrants the treasury handled over $10,000,000 during the year. This vast investment of wealth, which does not include the transactions of the subtreasuries, was handled, it was pointed out, without the loss of a cent to the government. The receiving teller of the government took in over the counter $75,333,000 during the year; the paying teller tailed cash $115,177,000 in checks and warrants; the shipping teller sent $84,518,000 to various parts of the country, and the "change teller"; made "small change" for more than $0,000,000; deposited during the depletion during the year $606,666,000 in time-worn United States currency and $675,899,000 in national bank notes. in the pending tariff bill which hurt their constituents. Officials at the White house assert that they do not believe senators fear President Wilson as much as they did President Taft. Senator Taylor of Tennessee was one of President Taft's visitors who was always welcome. There was one time, however, when Senator Taylor went to the White house that he did not go in to see the president. It was the day after the Democrats and insurgents in the senate had united to pass a wool bill. Senator Taylor felt that the president dent might be just a little irritated, because there was no gainsaying the fact that some little politics had been played in that alliance. Moreover, Senator Taylor is tacitful. He put his head in the crush door of the executive office, locked around suspiciously, and asked the assembled newspaper men, "Are things going in the morning?" "The president has wool in his teeth. He can certainly eat 'em alive.' answered a reporter. "Oh, I didn't have any business with him this morning and must hustle up to the capitol," said the senator meekly, and quickly vanished. Boya Pick Up Gold The gold fever has hit Capitol hill and the small boys of the neighborhood of the library of congress spend the idle summer hours waiting for bits of gold to drop from the dome of the beautiful building. This massive gold dome, which cost $50,000, is peeling its golden sides and the gold leaf fairly covers the grass below the dome. An appropriation will be made by congress for money to regild the dome and then the golden shower will be stopped. Diogenes' Quarry Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt believes he has found the most honest man in the country. He is A. W. Wechsler of Watertown, N.Y. Recently Mr. Roosevelt received a letter from the Watertown man, enclosing a lead pencil. This is what he found. "Inclosed find your pencil, which you left on my news stand when you wrote your telegram." Corrects Geographical Error Correct geography for the Danish Knud Rasmussen, the Danish explorer, has made a important discovery - called Peary channel at the northern end of Greenland does not exist, and that Peary Land is not an island, but a portion of Greenland. Rasmussen started on his expedition on 10 July 1910. He is a native of greenland, the son of a Danish clergyman and a pure-blooded Eskimo. From infancy the explorer has spoken Eskimo, and has devoted much study to the language philological, so that he knows it better, perhaps, than any other person. As a youth he undertook voyages in Scandinavia, the Faroe islands and Iceland. Too Busy. Gotham—How many buttons has your wife got on the back of that dress? Flatbush—Oh, I'm sure I don't know. Gotham—Why, you've buttoned it up for her often enough, haven't you? Flatbush—Oh, yes, a hundred times! Gotham—And you don't know how many buttons are there? Flatbush—No, when I've been buttoning it up I've been too confounded busy to count the buttons! the sound waves expand mightly in an upward direction, increasing the sound. Real Nuisance.

One bright woman noticed that her market gardener always had some vegetables and fruit left over each day; some days there would not be much, other days there would be quite a surplus. She saw that he was throwing away vegetables and fruits that only lacked their first freshness, so she made arrangements with him to all this surplus at a very small price and in this way get a winter's supply of homemade canned goods at a much less cost than in the usual way. She makes ripe tomatoes up into catups, dries and pickles green beans and peas, dries and cans sweet corn, puts cucumbers down in pickle, pickles young beets and cans them and cans fruit or makes it into preserves and butters. She has found that canning by the fireless method is a great saver. By canning in this way the house is kept cool, fuel is saved and she is free from the fear of water boiling awry. Clean and prepare the vegetables as for all canning. Select beets of uniform size and leave in the cooker three and one-half hours. Cauliflower should be separated into its flowering and well washed to free from insects. Leave in the cooker for a few days and young string beans do not need to be left in as long as thicker vegetables. Fruits should be canned in the same way. Soft berries should be taken from the cooker in three-quarters of an hour. Apples and pears should be left an hour. Pineapple would take two and one-half hours. SUPERIOR EVEN TO GOOD PIE Apple Puffa a Delicious Method of Preparing Desired Foods That is Popular With A Mite Pare and slice six stx apples; stew them and strain them through a colander; sweeten and add, a pinch of salt; let this cool while you make your paste, of two spoonfuls of butter worked into eight spoonfuls of flour; add ice water to make consistency of bread dough; put on a molding board and pour the dough into pieces of butter over this, and dredge with flour, then fold it up and roll quite thin again; repeat this operation any number of times, always rolling the paste into something like a square form. Cut the paste into pieces four inches square, put a small spoonful of sauce on one-half of the square, moisten the paste around it with water, and fold the other half over it. Make a thin dough layer, a dripping pan, lined with paper, in a quick oven. When you take them from the oven sift a little powdered sugar over each puff. Bolled Flank of Beef This is a part of the beef that most people consider useless, but this way it is all right. Wash the hank and make a dressing as for turkey. Salt the meat and spread the dressing over it, roll up and tie by winding quite a little. Wash the meat in a thin cloth, a piece of cheese cloth is nice to use. Put a plate in a pot and lay the meat on it, put in about six quarts of boiling water and boll gently about six hours. When done remove the cloth, but do not remove the string until cold. Slice thin and you can use it to serve You can use the corned or the fresh flank. If you use the corned, don't have it corned too much. Bread and Butter Crisps For this a fresh loaf, baked so as to give a square slice, will be needed. With a sharp knife cut off all the crust; butter one end of the loaf and shave off in the thinnest slices possible. Roll each slice up tightly and fasten with a wooden toothpick. Lay on a flat pan, and place in a quick oven until crisp and lightly brownd. Remove the toothpick, and serve hot or cold; they are specially good with a salad. Dolcious Lemonade Squeeze the juice from six lemons and strain it into a glass pitcher which has been half filled with chilled ice, add six tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, pour in a quart of water, add a half dozen slices of lemon and then stir the whole well with a long-handled wooden spoon and, last of all, pour in a bottle of ginger ale. This drink is refreshing beyond expression. Sugar Potatoes. Six sweet potatoes, one cup white sugar, one-half cup water, one teaspoonful butter. Parbell, peel and potatouts into quarter-inch slices. Cook the other ingredients to form a sip. Add the sugar and simmer gently for an hour, then let the sip bowl roll until it is almost dry. Serve with meats. Lemonade Hint. When making lemonade dissolve the sugar in a little hot water before putting it into the lemonade. This keeps the sugar from slaking to the bottom of the glass and sweetens it more quickly. Another method is to put the lemon in hot water before squeezing, as it gives as much juice. Mutton Sandwiches With Peas "Muttor" sandwiches With Peas. Butter slices of a white bread and put out them on a baking sheet, then then slices of cold boiled mutton, mix gather half a pint of pear of that have been seasoned with salt, pepper and a little butter; then a spoon of salad dressing, another leaf of lettuce, then another slice of buttered bread. Salt Cutlets. Soak six thin slices of salt pork in milk and water over night. Roll each slice in flour and fry crisp and brown in lard. Then dip each slice in beaten egg. roll in bread crumbs and turn for a few moments to the hot fat. A good relish. icing improved. Icing for cake may be prevented from racking when cut by adding one tablespoonful of sweet cream to each unsteaten egg. Stir all up together, then add sugar as can be stirred. LADY SPRING-RICE A NATIVE OF WASHINGTON MAP OF WHOLE WORLD. PLAN OF SCIENTISTS MAP OF WHOLE WORLD. PLAN OF SCIENTISTS SOCIETY MADE MRS. CARTER'S POODLE SICK SOCIETY MADE MRS. CARTER'S POODLE SICK Lady Spring-Rice, the wife of the British ambassador, enjoys the unique enjoys the unique distinction of being a native Wahsingian, whom she taught to the last degree British, without any kinship with the younger English-speaking nation. She was born here during her parents' residence, and there remain old inhabitants who still remember the little girl she was when her father was removed to another capital. A In Sir Cecil and Lady Spring-Rice may be found another example of the liberal-minded, democratic representatives of his Britannic majesty made familiar in Mr. and Mr. James Bryce. It fits entirely with the leveling process apparent everywhere that Great Britain, hitherto aloof and caste-riden, is represented here by a man who knows this country as his own and who has always manifested a sincere admiration for republicanism in the least interpretation of the word. Spring-Rice offers delightful possibilities rather than to the inner circle where in the former Brittishers have revolved. Washington has not yet had the pleasure of welcoming this latest addition to the ambassadorial set, for she went direct to Dublin, N. H., from her steamer. She has not been strong this past year, and her husband was sollicitous lest the excitement attendant on her arrival at the new home might prove too fatiguing. As the daughter of a diplomat and statesman whose name is international, Sir Francis or more familiarly known Frank Lascelles, Lady According to a report made by Bear Admiral Robert E. Peary, E. S. N. retired, discoverer of the north pole, to the National Geographic society, the most famous geographers all counries all countries prepare an aeronautical map of the whole world. PETER HARRIS This was decided at the tenth International Geographic congress which was held at Rome in April. For the purpose an international meeting will be called, which will determine conventional signs and rules of uniform construction for such a chart, which is to be on a scale of 1:200 000. Ten other propositions of international interest to geographers were approved by the congress, the most important of which are detailed in Admiral Peary's report, which has just reached the National Geographic society. Admiral Peary was one of the delegates to the congress from the society, the other American members of the organization of the congress being Henry Gannett, president of the society. Geo. H. Baldwin, president of the Peary Arctic club; Rear Admiral Colby M. Chester, U. S. N.; Prof. Libbey of Princeton university, Dr. Arthur L. Day of Washington, W. R. Rockhill and Profs.

Among the propositions approved by the congress, in addition to the Not louder shrieks to pitting heavens are When husbands, or when lupdspots, breathe their last.

Mrs. Carter, it will be the woman who has retired from social circles temporarily while her Pekinese, poole, Hee Too, is recovering from an at- there were women who loved their canine pets just about as much as does Mrs. William E. Carter of Bryn Mawr, New York, Philadelphia, Newport and various other centers of fashion. Mrs. Carter, it will be remembered, is the woman who has retired from social circles ten porterly while her Pekinese poole, Hee Too, is recovering from an attack of nervous prostration brought on by the festivities of the fashionable summer season. Mrs. Carter has a specialist and a trained nurse down from New York to help her care for Hee Too, and it is believed that with rest and good care the patient will recover. Until he does there is nothing doing in the social line at the Carter villa in Newport. Mrs. Carter paid $5,000 for Hee Too, but she thibts more of him than the five thousand vulgar dollars represent. He has a pedigree as long as your arm and there are some fanglers who The custom of resorting to an cath in extreme cases, sanctified as it is by all religious antiquity, is apt to introduce in to the lager sort of minds the notion of two kinds of truth; the one applicable to the solemn affairs of justice and the other to the common proceedings of daily intercourse. As truth bound upon the conscience of truth, the common affirmations of the shop and the market place a latitude, is expected and consecured upon questions wanting this Spring-Rice, is really, what is so vaguely known as a cosmopolitan. One of her chief joys, says her husband, will be to discover how many old friends are now residing in Washing-ton, to diplomatic corps and in American public circles. Cecil was保holm to the embassy here, and same procedure marked the transfer of the present ambassador from Austria-Hungary, M. Constantin Dumba. It happens that this is the fourth post, which is Sibyl Cecil and M. Dumba have colleague course, they have become close friend almost brothers, and the same cordite unite their wives and children. Of the corps serving in Washington Lady Cecil has known the Belgian minister and his American wife, Mr. and Mrs. Havenit, the latter formerly Miss Helen Foulke of city. She also knew the Swiss minister when he was in Tokio, and the German, the Netherlands, Mr. Loudou and his wife, the American-born Lady Eustis of the well-known Louisiana family, who also came to Washington after residing for nearly ten years in Japan. Of the officials in public life the British ambassador knows Senator and Mrs. Lodge very well, and they have also a close friendship with the former President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Indeed, a bit of exceedingly interesting diplomatic goose was that when Germany sent to Washington a close friend of the president's, Baron Speck von Sterrary, who was a German airlift, was served for a time between the sir of Sir Cecil Spring-Rice and James Bryce, and finally selected the latter because of his greater age and experience. Sir Cecil is endeavoring to carry out some of the commissions of Lady Rice in the arrangement of the embassy. The British government furnished the home of its envoy, but at present the envoy is stripped of his private possessions the Bryces and lacking those of the new family. one for the seronautical map, Admiral Peary says in his report, may be noted the following: "To convoque another official conference, in Paris, near the end of the current year, to which delegates from all civilized countries are to be invited, to determine questions of detail of a 1—100,000 map. "That the most important problems to be settled in connection with the international exploration of the north Atlantic ocean relate to the size, be regional extent and the nature of periodical variations of water layers to the depth of 1,000 meters, and it was recommended to continue systematic observations upon ocean events upon the temperature and salinity near the surface of the sea. "That the Royal Danish Geographical society invite the general secretary of the principal geographical societies of the world to meet in Denmark in 1914 for the purpose of organizing a world union of geographical societies. "To organize in each country during the summer vacation periods of the higher institutions of learning international courses of instruction in geography, in which foreign savants would be invited to take part. The plan contemplates also the founding of an international geographical institute, the seat of which will later determine the institute to conduct the studies and all geographical initiatives which have an international character. "For the preparation of a universal geography as a complement to the 1,100,000 world map, and the presentation to the next congress of a practical working plan for such preparation." insist that Hee Too is a distant relation of a blue-blooded ancestor that once sat in the lap of Queen Victoria and was fondled frequently by the late King Edward. But his pedigree is not the only claim to distinction which Hee Too possesses. He's a trick dog who can actually sit up and beg, can jump through a hoop and they do say he has table manners so elegant as to make the most fastidious of his royal breed sit up and take exceptional notice. There is a certain sentiment surrounding the poodle, too. Mrs. Carter made a trip to England especially to get Hee Too. She had a dog just like Hee Too, and she thought out of it. With her husband she was bringing the original Hee too back from Europe on the Woman, when that steamship stuiver an iceberg and went to the bottom. Hee Too the steamship down with the ship. Mr. and Mrs. Carter managed to get into a lifeboat with their children and were saved. But poor Hee Too the First, with a half dozen canine companions, was swallowed up in the waters. The first Hee Too was a great favorite with Mrs. Carter, and there was much ado about his sudden and early demise. The Carters heard another Hee Too in London, who looked for all the world like a twin brother of Hee Too the First. So Mrs. Carter got aboard and took a trip to England and brought back with the Hee Too which is now prostrated at Newport. solemn covenant.

And he has a brain which directs and controls his forces and expresses his emotions. And when the machinery is out of order, the brain badly formed, the nervous system badly developed, the power of self-control and guidance insufficient, the man is what we call a machine. He is simply a human machine out of order. And you may compare him justly to an automobile out of order. Nobody speaks of such a thing as a "criminal" automobile, or a "criminal" flying machine, or a "criminal" driving wheel. Yet often the automobile, when the steering gear breaks, kills more than any criminal. And the flying machine, when the rotor snaps, or the machine, when the roller snaps, or the machine, when the big driving wheel in a factory, when it breaks, may kill hundreds. The automobile, flying machine and driving wheel are not "criminal." They are simply like the human being, organized individuals, possessing certain forces, obedient to certain attractions, gravitation, centrifugal force, etc. Normally they work harmoniously, usefully and safely, like the well-constructed human being, and they work safely and disastrously, like the human "criminal," when the machinery is out of order.

MOVING PICTURE STORY Achievements of a Hampton Student Portrayed in Didactic Manner. Hampton, Va.—"John Henry's Four Years at Hampton" is the title of a most interesting moving picture story of Hampton institute which has been prepared by Leigh Richmond Minor of the Hampton staff. The first exhibition of the vivid moving pictures was given recently at Hampton institute. John Henry, who lives out in the country, is influenced by a Hampton graduate to come to the well known agricultural and industrial school for Negroes. On reaching Hampton he is shown the modern buildings and is then taken to a dormitory room where he finds it nestled in bedmade by his room mate. John Henry after his work in doing various chores which tasked his stick-to-teliveness, enters the cabinetmaking department and in three years becomes a proficient tradesman. John Henry also learns enough of several other trades so as to be truly useful to his people back in the country districts. He is put through a short course in manual training, shee-making, harness repairing, bricklaying, carpentry, and he is a taught horse to plow and care for the common farm animals—pigs, chickens, horses and cows. The Hampton Institute moving pictures give an excellent presentation of the Sunday morning room inspection, battalion drill, anniversary procession, life in the student dining room and every life life at Hampton. John Henry is shown as a social teacher at the school, leading the procession of youngsters as they assemble to salute the flag. In the final scene, dealing with commencement day, Dr. Frissell presents the transformed and useful youth with a Hampton diploma. John Henry greets his parents, who have made a sacrifice so that he could get an education. John Henry graduates, who influenced John Henry to break his home ties and go to Hampton, witnesses the happy scene. Good Reason For His Enthusiasm. When a man has suffered for several days with colic, diarrhoea or other form of bowel complaint and is then cured sound and well by one or two doses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea - Remedy, as is often the case, it is but natural that he should be enthusiastic in his praise of the remedy, and especially is this the case of a severe attack when life is threatened. It never fails. Sold by all dealers. MONMOUTH, ILL. Mr. and Mrs. Mason of Washington, D. C., were in the city last week visiting his mother, Mrs. Jane Mason.
