More Than Enough Is Too Much To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and not appraise control and take a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets and you will soon be all right again. For sale by all dealers.

They never ascertain the facts about things or persons who they criticize. They deviate from the truth about as far as this earth is from Jupiter, and how so-called educated and refined persons of both sexes and different ages will continue to do such deprived things is beyond our comprehension and it is safe to say that people who continually "gossip and knock" will ever receive and prize our fabulous compensation, so why continue such ancient method?

Washington.—During the past fiscal year 4,686 predatory animals were killed by federal officers on the national forests, according to an actual count of carcasses. An indeterminate number of animals, whose bodies were not found, are presumed to have died from poison. The "Rangers' bag of beast" prey this year, as shown by forest service figures, was made up of 206 bears, 3,541 coyotes, 133 mountain lions, 62 lynx, 583 wild cats, 64 wolves and 97 wolf pups. The figures indicate that the national forests are becoming cleared of wild animals that prey upon domestic live stock and game, for the forest ranger fills in odd numbers tween other jobs by thinning out "un- desirable citizens" of the animal world. Wolves are said to cause greater losses to western stockmen than any other of the predatory animals. It is estimated that a family of wolves will destroy about $3,000 worth of stock per annum, and that one able-bodied individual costs the grazing industry $600 a season. The wolves are of two classes—the smaller prairie wolves or coyotes, and the larger gray wolf, or timber wolves, called "lobos." These latter stock destroyers against which the campaign of the rangers has been waged. The enthods of hunting wolves in the west vary. On the plains wolves are sometimes hunted with dogs and horses, but this way is considered expensive and often dangerous. This sport is described by Roosevelt in his earlier hunting books. On national forests the rangers either set out poison or baited steel traps, or, by watching trails and hiding near a wolf's den, are able to shoot one or both of the old wolves when they return from hunting. In no other way, according to the forest service, can the number of wolves be kept down so well as by finding their dens and destroying the young. The skins of the predatory animals killed by the rangers are either kept as souvenirs or sold for a price or for bounty. Wolf skins in the west are said to bring from four to six dollars for robes and rugs; a mountain lion skin, $10 to $15 and a mountain goat skin, $20 to $25, according to species. In addition to this, there are bounties on bear, lions and wolves in most of the western stock states. Wyoming, in ten years, has paid out, it is said, over $65,000 in bounties on wolves alone, and $55,000 on coyotes and mountain lions. Through his activity against these pests, the forest ranger, it is said, has saved the stockman many thousands of dollars during the year, while the protection to game animals, such as deer, elk and antelope, is of almost equal importance. The magnitude of the government meat inspection service is shown by Meat Inspection Service. the past seven years, the period during which the present law has been in effect. In this period more than 277,000,000 animals were inspected and slaughtered, of which 1,100,000 carcasses and 4,750,000 parts of carcasses were condemned. The inspection of meat food products in their various preparations amounted to 44,000,000 pounds. There were certified for export $ 8,000,000 pounds. Federal inspection is maintained at 792 slaughtering and packing establishments, which number includes practically every establishment of importance in the country. These establishments are distributed in 227 towns and cities. The force necessary to conduct inspection is comprised of 2,400 veterinary inspectors and assistants. The United States produced more white arctic in 1912 than ever before, the output for last year being of Arsenic. 3,141 short tons, valued at $190,757, against 3,132 short tons, valued at $73,408, in 1911, according to a report on the subject by Frank L. Hess, just issued by the United States geological survey. The imports in 1912 were also the largest on record, amounting to more than 6,156 short tons, valued at $282,741, against 4,996 short tons, valued at $247,323, in 1911. The only white arsenic produced in the United States was that made as a by-product of smelting operations. White arsenic is used principally in glass making and in the manufacture of Paris green, lead arsenate, and other insecticides. With the growth of horticulture and the necessarily greater attention paid to killing insect pests, the demand for arsenic insecticides has grown immensely. Experiment conducted by a number of the state agricultural experiment stations have demonstrated the value of arsenic when combined with lime as an effective spray against insect pests, while arsenic solutions have been found of considerable value when used as a dip for cattle and sheep. Little Eleanor's pretty cousin wore a new engagement ring, and the budding woman regarded the ring and the giver alike with reverent eyes. One night when the happy man had been invited to Eleanor's home for dinner, Eleanor, unconsciously gushing, burst forth with: "Oh, Mr. Blank, do please tell me. In all the love stories I've read, the men propose so sudden. When it's coming on, does it feel anything like a sneezes?" oxides are used medicinally, among them the bromide, iodide, trisulphide, trioxide, sodium arsenate, and potassium arsenate. Disulphide of arsenic, both natural and artificial, is used as a paint pigment; in callco printing and dyeing; in tanning; and as it burns with an intense white light, in fireworks. Orpiment, the trisulphide, called also king's yellow, is used as a paint pigment and as a reducing agent in chemical work. The trisulphide is used in paints; for preserving both for taxidermists as in the leather industry; for preserving an antiseptic; and in killing animal pests. Sodium arsenate is used in dyeing with turkey-red oil and in printing fabrics; the arsenite in making soaps for use on skins and hides. Potassium arsenite is used as a reducer for silver in the manufacture of mirrors. The production of gympsum in 1912 was the greatest in the history of if gympsum in 1912 the history of the industry, according to the United State geological survey, the Large Gypsum Production. amount of gypseum consumed being 2,500,757 short tons. The value of gypseum and gypseum products was $6,563,988, an increase of $114,873 over 1911. In 1880 only 90,000 tons of gypseum were produced, 890,000 tons. The bulk of the gypsum produced in the United States is manufactured by grinding and partial or complete calcination into the various plasters, such as plaster of Paris, molding and casting plaster, succue, cement plaster, flooring plaster, and hard-finish plaster. Refined grades of plaster are used in dental work, for making pottery molds, stereotype molds, molds for rubber stamps, and as an ingredient in various' patent cements. A steadily increasing quantity is being used in the raw state as a retarder in Portland cement. Considerable quantities are ground without burning and used as land plaster; small quantities are used as the manufacture of paints, crayons, pumps, imitation meercaum and ivory, and as an adulter. The pure white massive form known as alabaster, is much used by sculptors for interior ornamentation, less, however, in this country than abroad. Endless Chain That Failed. treasury stating his wishes. Since the receipt of the first letter by Secretary McAdoo the latter's secretary, Byron Newton, has intercepted 20,000 letters from residents of Illinois asking the secretary of the treasury to give the applicant the job he wants, which happens to be under civil service. An investigation by the treasury department showed that the applicant the internal revenue job had 20,000 or more letters printed, and the same number of envelopes addressed and stamped, and then sent them to his friends to sign and send to the secretary of the treasury. Every friend, apparently signed a letter, the man will not get the berth, as its disposition is in the hands of the civil service commission. The applicant was so informed after he wrote his first letter. The treasury department refuses to make known his name. Little Follow Explains Warne American Girls The Marchesa San Germano, formerly Miss Virginia Hoge of Louisville, Ky., who recently arrived in New York city from abroad, declared she will seek legal separation from her husband, whom she married three years ago, because of her unfaithfulness. In explaining she delivered this warning to title-seeking American girls: "American girls who marry European noblemen take great risks. Many of them soon lose their marriage realize that the code of honor of the title forelore is different from that of the average American husband. Women and gambling occupy most of the time the titled forelore does not spend with his American bred wife. I am tired of sharing my husband with another woman." Jessie Wilson's "Twin." Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter of the president, has a double in Miss Grace Brown, a pretty Washington girl. Miss Brown is taken frequently for Miss Wilson and when she went into one of the large department stores to make some simple purchases she was amazed at being politely accosted by the floorwalker, who offered to put a special clerk at her disposal.

VETERAN SAYS SOLDIERS ARE CODDLED NOW BUSY LIFE OF LADY RANDOLPH CHURCHILL TILLMAN'S ROOM LIKE PICNICKING GROUND LADY CAMOYS SPURS HUSBAND TO ACTIVITY --- The boy who ran away from school at fourteen years of age to enlist in of age to enlist in the First Ohio Regiment for the Mexican war, sits in a Washington bay window today—n o w he is over and over to talk—and talks to his canary. Major William Fletcher, one of the three surviving army officers who served in the Mexican war, pays by confinement to his chair for his forty years of exposure and the hard fighting of three wars. The Regiment for the Mexican war, sits in a Washington bay window today—n o w he is eighty-two years old—and talks to his canary. Major William Fletcher, one of the three warring officers who served in the Mexican war, pays by confinement to his chair for his forty years of marching and exposure and the hard fighting of three wars. The second war was that with the United States; in some ways it was the hardest of the three. The back of his neck is deeply scarred with wounds. "They were only little ones—from arrows," the major says. "I didn't hold any grudge about them. You see, we weren't so very gentle with the Indians when we caught them. When you have seen a place where white women and children have been massacred, somehow you get the idea that a dead Indian is the best kind of an Indian." The photograph shows Major Flatley in his prime. It was hard to get. The major's objections were that his uniform—he was captain then—was Dusy Lady Randolph Churchill is again in London with a new lease of vitality. Her energies have never greatly dwindled, but to bear again the name that saw her through manifold enterprises inspires her afresh. It sounds too tame to say of her that she might tomorrow edit a paper, produce a play, paint a picture, build a hospital, win an election, attend those things seem small. It is in the doing that M. Lady Randolph makes them exciting. Miss Jenile Jerome was well known in New York for beauty and a character before she adopted England as her own. And although she adopted England, she did more heartiness than do many imitators. She loves to keep and keeps, something of the States both in her mind and manner. It was only *An American member of the family who would have dared to go round Blenheim for the fun of overhearing the remarks of the tourists. But set an-American to catch an American. Lady Randolph, disguised with an old cleak and a Hedeker, did do the tour in the city. She was a pasy of unwitting compatriots. "My, what poppy eyes these Churchhills have got!" she heard a young woman from There is danger of a strike in the office of Senator Ben Tilliman of South a Tillman of South Carolina. It is all about fact that the office staff and other employees about the office are getting too much to cat. The flood of edibles is the reason the plant is recently made by Senator Tillman; JOHN H. "Why can't I get any good chicken in Washington? The stingy skeletons of ancient fowls now served to me are an abomination. I crave some good fried chicken, but Washington where I can get any to there is not a hotel or restaurant in my taste. Since his last attack of Illness Senator Tillman has been ordered by the doctor to stick to one meal a day, with chicken or other white meat and fish to comprise the principal dishes. The stimulating effect that American women have on their titled for on their titled foreign husbands has been a subject of comment for many years. It is pointed out that many an English titled gentleman has been urged on to a life of usefulness to himself to his country by the delicate spur of his American spouse.

It is pointed out that many an English titled gentleman has been urged on to a life of usefulness to himself and this is tried by the delicate spur of his American spouse. As one of the latest examples of this the case is cited of Camoys, who a little more than a year married Miss Milred Sherman of New York and Newport. Before his marriage Camoys "Why, when we was up the Amazon," said the loquacious sailor, "the mosquitoes was terrible. They used to roost on the leaves and bark-" "Come, come," remonstrated one of his audience, "you can't expect us to believe that, you know. Mosquitoes you find on the leaves, you find I finished!" queried the sailor indignantly. "What I was goin' to say was that they'd roost on the leaves and bark of the trees-" But he found himself addressing space. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER not a good fit and bunched up at the neck. He still dresses in blue and has no use for the olive-draw of these days. "It makes a soldier look like a carddriver," said he. "You can't tell even whether he is clean, male, blue, but then, times have changed. They coddle the soldier now. They don't know what discipline means any more. Instead of leaving the enlisted man to depend upon his commander, the law steps in to make a baby of him and he depends upon his political pull. He has fine barracks, and a spring mattress; pillows and clean and clean linens; he holds a get-tickled filled with straw. And crockery—in those days he got a tin cup, and had to take care of it, too. "When we enlisted for the Mexican expedition we thought it was just going to be one grand picnic. We packed all our belongings on mules and went ahead gayly. Nobody thought to furnish a guard for the mule train. I never saw them grayn." Monterey, Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo—the major remember them all. "How did I get my corporal's chevrots? Oh, I suppose my captain thought I was the man for it. I was no braver than anybody else." It was Mrs. Fletcher who pried out the fact that General Scott mentioned Corporal Fletcher in orders and that he was the general's interpreter in Mexico. The major prefers to speak of the deeds of others. the west exclain, after going the round of the family portraits. As a hostess at innumerable dinners, she is a story-teller whose anecdotes generally hover round the board. It was at table, for instance, that she found out the real Disraeli. Once when she and he were discussing their departed guests, Lord Randolph mentioned as an instance of Disraeli's flowery language his refusal of more wine after the departure of the ladies. "My dear Randolph," he said, "sampled your excellent cup, pailen, I have thirst with your good claret, I have slipped your sherry, I have tasted your delicious port; I will have no more." But Lady Randolph had sat next the great man, and noticed that he took nothing but weak brandy-and-water. Anybody who has watched at close quarters an election that meant much to Lady Randolph knows her power. In Northwest Manchester the man with a vote soon learned that he had to cope, not, first of all, with the threats of the election with the assistance canvasser. It was a case, if ever there was one, of votes for a woman, and her irresistible persuasions. All parties and persons have known her strength, private and public. And If Mr. Balfour goes to the promenade concerts in her company, it is because -he respects her musical opinions no less than her politics. The "Ring" she has done in the election is the gold pig on her watch-chain is the somewhat unexpected token of King Edward's respect. London will hear a lot about her this winter. In trying to follow his physician's advice, Senator Tillman could find no chickens to suit his taste in the city's market or in the hotels or restaurants. Hence his loudly voiced complaint. Immediately there were denials from the market men, the hotel managers and restaurateurs, but many of the housewives back up the senator's assertion. When the South Carolina senator spoke his words of complaint he no thought to his many southern advisers, both here and in the south. Soon his office was besieged by consignments of fried chicken that came by parcel post and by messenger. At first the senator tried to turn back the stream of donations, but he was handicapped by lack of names on packages. Since then the waste paper basket of Mr. Tillman's committee room has contained more pickled chicken bones than waste paper. The once neat comet dish was now looked like a pincelling ground. And the clerks and senate attendants join Senator Tillman in declaring that even fried chicken can 'become a monotonous diet. No one has heard a complaint from the senator. seemed to enjoy nothing so much as leisurely companionship in the fashionable clubs and at the watering places of England and the continent. Recently, however, he has blossomed out as a most energetic champion of pure food and of pure health, and of the executive committees of the Pure Food and Health society he is now engaged in collecting $250,000 to aid in the campaign against adulterated food. "We are persuaded," wrote Lord Camys recently, "that a wholesome diet is essential to the nation, and that pure food is even more necessary to the nation than dreadnoughts." "It's got to have something to work on." There is a Chicago lawyer who extremely frightful physique is frequently the subject of his own facetiousness. On one occasion this lawyer was in a street car, when a burly citizen boarded as the car turned a curve; lurched forward and sat down plump in the lap of the legal light. He rose with profuse apologies. "Oh," re- sponded the man thin, cordial, that's at right. But tell me one thing you think I was painted on the seat?" COOKIES IN DEMAND POSSIBLY ON ACCOUNT OF WAY THEY WERE MADE. At Least There May Be Ideas in Recipe This Young Pereon Followed—Cordially Indored by Brother Frank. The Young, Person was about to bake cookies. Brother Frank watched her tip up the molasses jug. "Let me," he said, "that's pretty heavy." Then, as he watched the thick brown syrup drip slowly into the cup—"I like lassae." The young person laughed appreciatively. "I know you do—Sally and Molly and Susie and—my cookies—all sorts of 'lasses! There!' her voice rising to a little shriek. "You'll spill it. Thanks! with relief as Frank got the big fireug to the table again she replied, rolling the cold dough "Now, go read Chapter II, in your book there, and by that time I may have a cooky for you—If you'll read too fast. So Frank had with her a moment went quickly about her task. While the cup of molasses was reaching the boiling point in its granite pan on the stove, she mixed in the big bowl two cups of whole wheat flour, one of rolled oats, and one of white flour, a tea powder (of cloves—no ginger—for Frank did not like ginger. To the hot molasses she added four level tablespoonfuls of shortening, quarter of a cup of sugar, and quarter of a cup of milk. She mixed this in the dry ingredients and poured into her cake, to take advantage of the oven at its hottest. By the time her cake was out of the oven Frank had wandered back, hungry boy fashion. "Aren't these cookies ready yet?" "No; but they will be soon now." she replied, rolling the cold dough very thin, cutting it deftly with the round top of a cocoa tin and laying the trim circles on a wire cake tray. Into the oven it went, and Frank soon sniffed while she still rolled and cut. "They must be done, Sir; that's a plying oven." "Just in a minute," and as the second tray was filled it went in, and the first came out, brown and crisp and tender "Yum-yum." said Frank, and went off with both hands and his mouth full, and perilously near to burning. The Young-Person burgler rolled with herself. "Very wholesome, as good as medicine, and just, what Frank needs for his digestion. Luckily it's a good b recipe for, add Hal's capacity to Frank's, allow a few for father, and you need quite a lot of cookies." Green Tomato Pickle One gallon sliced tomatoes, the greener the better; salt them in layers, and let them stand over night; in the meringal drain them well; slice four large onions; put a layer of tomatoes in the vessel, then a few slices of onion; proceed in this manner until they are all put in; cut six green peppers very fine and spread over the top; take one tablespoonful black pepper, one tablespoonful alliice, two tablespoonful cloves, three in a table bowl, in a bag and roll in the vinegar till the strength is extracted, then put the bag on the top of the pickles, pour on boiling vinegar enough to cover them. Cover the vessel tightly and let it stand three weeks without opening. Stew From Cold Boast This dish provides a good way of using up the remnants of a roast, either of beef or mutton. The meat should be freed from fat, gristle and bones, cut into small pieces, slightly salted, and put into a kettle with water. The potatoes should be simmer until almost ready to break in pieces, when onions and raw potatoes, peeled and quartered, should be added. A little coup stock may also be added if available. Cook until the potatoes are done, then thicken the liquor or gravy with flour. The stew may be alternatively served on slices of crisp toast. Meat and Pastry Rolls. Small quantities of cold ham, chicken or other meat may be utilized for these. The meat should be chopped fine, well seasoned, mixed with enough oil, salt, and pepper, and formed into rolls about the size of a finger. A short dough (made, say, of a pint of flour, two tablespoons of lard, one teaspoonful of baking powder, salt and milk enough to mix) should be rolled thin, cut into strips and folded about the meat rolls, and baked in a preheated oven for a regular. The rolls should be baked in a quick oven until they are a delicate brown color and served hot. Cucumber Salad. A most attractive way to serve cucumbers, for a salad course, or as an accompaniment of a fish course, is to pare and cut each in half, taking the round end off so that the piece will stand upright. Cut out the inside and mix it with a salad dressing and replace it in the tiny cubes. Stand each on a crisp leaf of lettuce, and chill thoroughly before sending to the table. In their season, finely chopped chives may be added. Beef Loaf With Tomato Sauce. Chop fine 1½ pounds round beef, mix with a little chopped onion, and pepper; bake about one hour and pour over the following sauce: Stew ten minutes one-half to tomatoes, one-half small onion and strain; cook one tablespoon butter and one tablespoon flour until smooth, then add tomato; season with salt, pepper and sugar if liked. Cheese and Nasturtium Sandwiches. These are quite a change, as well as being economical and wholesome. Spread your bread thickly with fresh cream cheese, and between the two slices put layer of small young nasturtium leaves. These leaves have a taste which is not unlike mustard, you know, and they go excellently the slightly flavor of the cheese. HEROES' DAY PAST Fighting Now a Matter-of-Fact Business. Since War Has Been Placed on Business Basis Victory is to the Scientist and Mechanician—just Like a Department Store. The glory, the sport and the romance of war are dead. Heroes are out of date. They interfere with team play. Dashing leaders will please apply for employment anywhere than to an army or a navy. The only spotlight is the searchlight that you turn on your enemy. War has become a business, as matter-of-fact as a department store, eays a writer in McClure's Magazine. Its victories are to the scientist, the mechanician and the organizer—to the laboratory, the card index and the telephone. "While I have the chief of staff on the telephone this evening, I will ask him to give you a pass to go with the army," said the prime minister of Bulgaria, in the midst of the war of the Balkan allies against the Turk. It was as simple a matter as the New York office of a corporation calling up its Boston office. Savoff, the chief of staff, was not at the front. He managed the war without ever being near a battle. Surrounded by his department heads and experts, he was situated in a town well to the rear of the army, where any vital "Hello, central!" would instantly reach him. Dravery alone did not win for the allies. The Turks also were hurt, with a dead-on concern went with a dead-on concern with the board of directors, one set of orders from the president and another set from the general manager, the plant in dirreapre, the shipping department on a strikc, stock heavily watered, and short term notes due in a panic, with call money at 100 per cent. An army is a great industrial corporation which moves most of its plant on wheels and legs. Its functions are the most inclusive and complex of any corporation, and it should be the most up-to-date. Other corporations get their results from mouth to mouth and year to year in the test and loss. They each with the test of scales. An army gets its real test only in war. A private corporation may be out of date and keep on doing business for a while. It may travel on prestige, disdainful improvements and letting office dead wood continue to gum the wheels, but no army and no navy can be unprogressive and stand the trial of war. Whatever new invention applies, the army must be the most efficient of the world the first to it if it it has any possible application in their profession. The most dramatic moment in recent military history occurred when a German military dirigible had to descend in France because of engine trouble. The French officers had a peep at the great German mystery, and found, to their delight, that it had not a single appliance that was not already known through the hidden processes of the French intelligence service. Therefore, the military corporations demand the ablest detectives. Not long ago the plans of our new battleship, the Pennsylvania, not to meet them, were abandoned, while we again disappeared from the navy department. The plans for the first dreadnought, which the British navy tried its best to keep secret, were in possession of every first class European navy before its keel was laid. A single invention may decide battles. The fact that the Krupp recoil for field guns was not so good as the French, in the actual test of war, was worth a score of regiments to the Bulgars armed with Canets, while the Turks were armed with Krupps. There is no more martial romance in perfect combat than the battle of a battlefield and organizing a battalist's crew, than there is in perfecting automobile motors and organizing an automobile manufacturing plant. Alwava Something. Harry Lauder told an amusing story the other day of two Glasgow women who met in the street and began to discuss the domestic affairs of a newly married couple. "She met McTavish," said one, "so Jeannie's got mairet!" "She has that, Mrs. McAlpine," replied the other. "An 'how she gettin' on'" the first woman wanted to know. "On no, she at a," was the reply. "There's only one thing the matter." Jeannie she could have got a better man! But then, there's a aye something!* Oceana Grow Saltier The rivers rushing down to the sea carry an immense amount of solid matter, a great percentage of which is salt. This may be in such small amounts that it is imperceptible in the river. The waters of the seas are evaporated by the sun, but none of the salt is taken up into the clouds. So the water that returns to the earth in rain contains no salt; but by the time it reaches the sea again, after soaking through the soil and flowing down the rivers, it has another load. Consequently the oceans are receiving salt all the time and never giving up any of it. The Likenses "Miss Dicky, the public speaker, in a fountain of eloquence." Well, all the likeness I can see in her face is the mountain is that they are both gushing." All Pardoned. Gipsey Smith, the famous evangelist, tells this story: Jack had been converted at a revival meeting, and upon meeting an old friend later, was asked: It were true. "Oh, yes," said Jack. "I am really going to live a new life." "Woll," said his friend, "I suppose you will begin by settling up all your old debts; for instance, I presume you will now pay me the sovereign you have owed me so long." "Oh, no," replied Jack. "That is one of my old transgressions and the Lord has pardoned them all." English Writer Says They Think and Dream. Macaque, In Captivity, Entertained Himself With Feats of Magic—Records of the Reasoning Powers of Dumb Animals. Most people, despite loads of facts demonstrating that animal think, consistently maintain that they do not, says a writer in the London Assessor. The most remarkable signs of intelligence on the part of a dog, say, are put down to "instinct." Or, if intelligence is admitted it is looked upon by these persons as a different brand from that displayed by themselves. A friend of the writer has a dog—a spaniel—that shows remarkable intelligence. When any one enters the gate leading to Mr. B's country home Pedro—the dog in question—barks a warning of the approach of a stranger. On the writer's first visit to Mr. B's home he received this but the very next time he went near the house Pedro approached him affectionally and walked by his side through the small park surrounding the property. An remarkable thing about it was that it was pitch dart at the time—so dark that the animal was absolutely invisible to the visitor. Now, it was certainly his sense of smell that revealed the writer's identity to the dog, but it was memory that told the animal that it was no stranger who was approaching, while it was reason that informed him that it was unnecessary to bark in such circumstances. This always thinks there can be little doubt, and how very like human beings they can be illustrated by the case of one of these—a macaque in captivity. A large nut had become wedged in one of his cheek pumps, and by the time it was discovered by the keeper it was necessary to remove it by lancing. This was done from the outside, and then the wound was stitched. Then and there was born a monkey who moved the stitches and proceeded to amuse himself and mystify his followers by most mysteriously causing a peanut to pass through his cheek and come out by his mouth. Or he would reverse the process, putting the nut into his mouth and passing it out through his cheek. Not content with this, he demonstrated that the same feat was easily performable with a straw in place of a peanut. And be sure to notice the expression of the performer and the wonderment of the onlookers could for a moment hesitate as to what any one of them was thinking about. That animals dream is almost as certain as that they breathe. Watch a sportsman's dog after an exciting day. As he lies curled up on the doormat he will perk unclearly in his sleep and yelp with eagerness. If you have ever seen the same dog trying to dig out a rabbit, you will never do that he is dreaming of the chase. In their wild state animals must show intelligence in procuring food, and in escaping their enemies. The cunning of an old fox is provable, and it is only experience that can enable one fox to show greater skill in eluding pursuit than his younger brother. If only instinct were necessary the younger animal, with all his faculties sharper, would have the advantage. Who dare deny that a dog can smile? Or who has not seen some dog "furring deep melancholy!" That a dog may even possess dignity capable of being grievously offended was clearly demonstrated to the writer by Pedro. The dog sleeps mentioned at the beginning of this article. Pedro was going to shoot his writer, but fifty yards away from the house Mr. B was called back to the telephone. He left his gun lying on a grassy slope, and the writer sat down to wait, with the dog at his feet. By way of a joke, he picked up the gun and invited Pedro to come along, which he joyously prepared to do. Then he returned to the house and the joker turned highly offended. Pedro turned his back upon the culprit and slowly walked toward the house. He had been hoaxed and he resented it. Forget Wife's Real Name. A man was deeding some property to his wife. All went smoothly until it came to entering her name. "I must have your wife's name," said the lawyer. "Oh, of course you must. Let me see. Would you believe it, I cannot recall her name. When she was a girl she was always called Pet, and when the babies came I began to call her mother. And I really have no notion what her name is. "Suse you couldn't put it Pet or Mother?" On being assured he could not be went home and returned with the in- formation written on paper. Well Informed. "Dorkln is what I would call a true patriot." patriot. "I can't be qualified?" "How is he so strong? He 'knows' at least one stanza of the Stetson Spangled Banner," the estimated cost of the Panama canal and the practical disadvantages of the United States possessing the Philippine islands." Stone From Mud. The latest triumph in building material is the architecture of "stone" out of the sand that has almost the strength and strength of concrete. Buildings constructed from this material really are adobe structure, but their durability is said to be equal to that of brick and the almost stones. This material comes from the ferringuineous stone of the mountainside and is screened through glazes and tamped into forms like those in the making of concrete blocks. AFRO-AMERICAN. CULLINGS In @ communication to the Houston Post HB, L, Blackshear of Prairieview, ‘Tex., writea: n'a recent editorial you spoke of the need of better teachers for the negro schools.

The first days of chilly weather are apt to prove trying to people, and especially children. The gradual change to coldness is not a signal to bundle up, but to accustom one's self to the weather. Nature is kind and if we will only trust her we will fare better. By keeping the windows open at night we will be able to continue the practice in colder weather. These first days of cold weather are apt to bring on a little stuffiness of the head in these whose turbinate bones and tonsils are large. These turbinate bones are in the sides of the nose and the tissue covering them is loose and flabby; when a little irritation comes they often swell and obstruct the air passage. First one side, then the other. If one has large tonsils or is affected by turbinate bones becoming congested, the sane thing to do is to have the tonsils removed or the turbinate bones cauterized. Mufflers and flannels will not help the cause. Many people fear that because they have catarrh they are doomed to tuberculosis. These advertisements about catarrh leading to consumption is an art of quack doctors who depend upon frightening people into treatments. Most reputable physicians are satisfied to tell people the truth, without exaggeration. Some exaggerate conditions in order to make their "cures" appear more wonderful. It is the duty of a physician to teach people how to keep away from medicine; to establish the habit of thinking health and good rather than dwelling on disease. A little common sense must temper this advice; it is better to see a physician and have him tell you, if he is honest, that a condition is not serious than to wait too long. Get an honest man and the few trips he makes to you or you to him the better satisfied both will be. Think health, think happiness, keep well, eat well, but do not eat too much; get proper rest. Above all things keep away from chest protectors. They do more harm than good. Train yourself now to be a friend to nature; let the cold air brace you up. Women, as a rule, dress more sensibly than men. Men wear heavy suits and get accustomed to them in the house, and often keep up a mild perspiration, with their additional heavy underwear. Women depend upon their wraps when they go out and get along better. Good sense and one's own feelings dictate what they shall wear, rather than fashion Hardy people, who wear their summer underwear and low shoes all winter only demonstrate their superior mental and physical qualities. "Everyone to his taste." If your feet are cold at night it is no disgrace to use a hot water bottle. DAVENPORT NOTES Rev. R. K. Nicholson has been installed as pastor of the Third Baptist church. Rev. T. J. Carr of Ottumwa, Iowa, was with the Third Baptist people all day and evening. Rev. Carr preached the installation sermon in the afternoon, which was logical and inspiring. Dr. Carr took for his text Titus 2:1. But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine. Rev. T. B. Stovall of Bethel A M. E. church took for his subject, The Real Man of God, as a Pastor. The Rev.'s discourse was full of wisdom and spiritual fire. Mr. D. S. Johnson of the A. M. E. church gave an address in behalf of the trustees of Bethel church. The local program was full of welcome and cheering words for the new pastor. Rev. Nicholson said in reply that he felt like that he was the real pastor of the Third Baptist church. He said that he was here to stay until he had done some good. Mr. R. T. Hastings sang sweetly the New Jerusalem. The White Rose club of the Third Baptist church will give a box social on October 24th. Mrs. M. Phenix and Mrs. Lena Jones of Rock Island gave a surprise party on Miss Gertrude O'Neal on October 4th at the residence of her parents, West Ninth street. Twenty-five select guests enjoyed themselves to the fullest. Mrs. Della Marshall and son, Logan, entertained last Tuesday evening at their residence, 721 Harrison street, in honor of Mrs. Emma Green of Toledo, Iowa, and Miss O'Neal. Twenty-five guests enjoyed the pleasant evening. Refreshments were served in three courses. Mrs. Green and Miss O'Neal left Friday for their respective homes, Boston, Mass., and Toledo, Iowa. Dr. S. J. Hunter of Noxubee Industrial school of McLeod, Miss, preached an able sermon at the A. M. E. church Sunday night. Mr. Hunter is here in the interest of his school. Mr. Hunter was also one of the speakers at the Third Baptist church Sunday afternoon. Prof. S. S. Furr of Newport News, Va., gave a good talk at Bethel church Sunday evening. Mr. Furr is also here in the interest of his school at Newport News. Mr. Furr painted a deplorable picture of the Negro's condition in Virginia, saying that Negro girls were working for 25 cents and 50 cents per week and were glad to get the work at that. Shame! Shame! Bethel A. M. E. church will give a big Thanksgiving dinner and program at night November 27, 1913. Mrs. Wm. O'Neal was made chairman of the dinner arrangements, while Mrs. D. S. Johnson was given full charge of the program. Bethal's choir is graced with two new members, Miss Della Watkins and Mrs. Jenner Piper. Mrs Victoria Johnson of Springfield, Ill., is visiting her cousin, Miss Hattie Richardson, 936 Gains street. Visiting in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. John Garden was called to Chicago on Monday to attend his sick mother. Bros. D. Delward, H. McGaw and Mother Sackett remain sick. WASHINGTON, IOWA, NOTES. Mrs. Henry Green of Oskaloosa is a guest at the Thos. Lewis and Willis Turner homes. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Lewis and family have moved to the farm recently vacated by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Turner, who have moved to town. Prof. M. R. Powell was entertained at supper on Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Spencer. Mrs. Sarah Armstrong is now confined to her bed. It is a gradual decline with her. It would be nice now for a few honest, industrious young men to locate here, as there are several positions calling for them. Robt. Evans of Muscatine was a guest at the Walter Williams home Sunday. Prof. M. R. Powell, financial secretary of the Centerville, Ala., Industrial Institute, delivered a very interesting address last Sunday p. m. at the A. M. E. church concerning the institution he represents, and on Tuesday evening at the Intellectual Improvement club meeting he addressed a very large audience on "The Conditions of the Southern Negroes." The talk was well received and at the business part of the meeting the club voted to give $10 to the school which Prof. Powell represents. Prof. Powell is a thorough race man and has been quite successful while here. The first official joint board meeting of the A. M. E. church was held Monday night to get things adjusted and straightened out to begin the work for this conference year. The outlook is very promising and already a rally is on foot for the trustees for the first Sunday in November and upwards of $30 has already been subscribed. Miss Marie Whaley is sick with the mumps. Prof. Powell was a guest at the H. Rhodes home while in the city. Robt. Armstrong is expected this week from a sojourn in California. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS By John L. Thompson. Mr. Boone operates a pantonium and is doing nicely. Mr. J. A. Hurley runs a first class barber shop and bath room. He is doing well. J. J Miles is operating a restaurant. Mr. Willey Davis runs a new hotel at 104 E. Roland street. He also has a first class restaurant in his hotel. He is a fine man and is succeeding well. Mr. J. S. Paezy, the old reliable loctor, is still here and is a thorough race man. He owns a valuable business block on W. Coats street. Mr. E. D. Alderson is still assistant baggageman at the depot. J. L. Jones is one of the successful men here, being janitor at the school house. He owns valuable property in Colorado and may some time locate in our city. His wife is a teacher in the public schools at Huntsville. She was a normal student at Cedar Falls, Iowa. Mr. S. E. Boone, one of the successful business men, is still working in the postoffice and is certainly an exemplary, well liked man. Ralph Bass runs a rooming house on Ault street and is doing well. Mr. A. C. Black of N. Clark street is a successful business man. We next wandered into Centralia, Mo. Here we find the people doing fairly well. Mr. John Thomas is still here. Mr. A. Pierson owns palable property. He is working at present over in Hannibal, but lives here. Mr. Wm. Burnham owns valuable property and is doing nicely. They have a new school teacher, a young man whose name I have forgotten, but he is well qualified and will make an excellent teacher. Our next stop was in Mexico. Here lives about 2,000 colored people. Many own their own homes and some in business, doing well. One of our most successful and best known men is Thomas Bass, who is the famous horse trainer. He has made speciality of saddle horses and high school horses and shows them at every state fair held in the middle west. At the Iowa state fair last August he won more first and second prizes than any other exhibitor that came to our fair. He had nineteen head of horses. Mr. Bass is to the high school and saddle horses of the United States as Booker T. Washington is to the industrial world. Mr. Bass owns a beautiful home and several acres of ground and several large barns, where he has about sixty head of horses. In his home you will find one whole side of the parlor room taken up with medals, silver cups and badges given him at the different state fairs in the United States, which is a great sight to see. I wish we had his photograph and cuts of some of his fine horses so that we could impress our people with the success that this man has made. Mr. Wm. Gibbs and J. G. Hayes are substantial citizens here. Mr. James Coleman has opened a first class restaurant and is doing well. Mr. Douglass still conducts a first class brass shop. Mr. Cooper, grand lecturer for the Masons of Missouri, is his partner in the shop. Mr. James Smith is employed in the postoffice. He is a fine young man, doing well. Rev. J. G. Hayes is still at the same place. His wifie a milliner, although she has not operated her shop since it burned down. They are old settlers here and highly respected. There are two colored churches, the M. E. and Baptist. They both have able ministers and are doing well. There are two colored stores here, but I have forgotten the names of the men who are running them. They seem to be doing fairly well and there is no doubt would do better if more of our people would patronize them. There is also one colored physician, who is doing well. We will next stop at Dalton, Mo. *When visiting in Omaha, Nebraska see D. U.

M. E. conference has just closed, which was quite a large delegation of ministers. Quite a number went from here. The Second Baptist church gave a rally Sunday, which was quite a success. Rev. Avant preached the afternoon sermon. Collection for the day was $40. The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. Holiday and left a fine girl baby but it only lived a few hours. Mr. A. C. Black will leave Sunday to visit friends in Montgomery City. We are sorry indeed to give up Rev. F. D. Wells, our pastor. He has been with us for five years. Go on, Rev. Wells. God speed you on your journey. The home talent minstrel had quite a success Thursday night, given by the Yager brothers. Mr. A. C. Black has had his house painted solid white, which makes quite an improvement, at 119 E. Horsely street. The Ellyeian Art club met in a very pleasant session Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Theola Barnes in her pretty home. All the members were present. Mrs. Barnes served a delicious two-course lunch, after which the club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Etta Avant on Franklin street. We are very sorry to say that Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lowery's beautiful home on Franklin street was destroyed by fire Tuesday evening, October 6th. A Marvelous Escape. "My little boy had a marvelous escape," writes P. F. Bastians of Prince Albert, Cape of Good Hope. "It occurred in the middle of the night. He got a very severe attack of croup. As luck would have it, I had a large bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house. After following the directions for an hour and twenty minutes he was through all danger." Sold by all dealers. KEOKUK NEWS. Mrs. Maria Alden, Mrs. Fannie Stewart and Miss Maggie Buckner left last Tuesday afternoon for a visit in Chicago with relatives and friends. Mr. Carroll Bland, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Bland, met with a misfortune about two weeks ago, breaking his left arm, resulting from a fall. He is reported to be getting along nicely and we hope no serious complications may arise. Mrs. Lear, wife of Prof. Lear of Canton, Mo., is at St. Joseph's hospital, where she underwent a surgical operation. Mrs. Mattie Mills and daughter, Miss Naomi, have returned from Omaha, Neb., after an extended visit with relatives and friends. Mrs. Ollie Gross and Mrs. Emma Tebeau attended the annual conference at Illum, the last Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Letha Johnson returned last Tuesday from Peoria, Ill., after a ten days' visit with relatives and friends. Mr. Edward Roberson has been under the care of a physician for the past few days. We hope nothing serious. Many friends of Miss Imogene Wilson, one of our high school girls, regret to know that she is ill at this writing. We hope that she may soon be able to return to school. Miss Eldora Burton left last Saturday for a visit with friends in Des Moines. The condition of Mrs. Beatrice Brooks Redricks is considered as quite serious. Miss Madah Lewis is thought to be still slightly improving. Mr. and Mrs. Everett Holmes, Mrs. Sherman Roberts and Mrs. Susie Holmes attended the carnival at Carthage, Ill., last Thursday.

Our editor requests your agent to call on all subscribers that are in rears and report at once, so please be prepared to settle your delinquent account, as I will call upon you some time during next week. Mr. John Buford made a flying trip to Fort Madison last Sunday. Mrs. Ella Taylor of St. Louis has been in our city for several weeks, being called here by the serious illness of her mother, Mrs. Eudora Ware. The Jolly Bachelors club has been very quiet since the marriage of the president. The vice president has also contracted the matrimonial fever. The question has recently been discussed as to who will now resume leadership. There are two widowers that are looked upon with much favor. Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines. If you want to contribute directly to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis and pneumonia use cough medicines that contain codine, morphine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what is needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ diseases. That is why pneumonia never results from a cold when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. It has a world wide reputation for its cures. It contains no morphine or other sedative.
