Lee Mite Missionary society and stewardess board: One of earth's purest souls has departed and left the love and sorrow of this life to share the joy and bliss of heaven. Of all those of whom we have known none were of such rare worth to us as she. Gentle as an angel she moved among us, leaving a blessing and a word for her Master. Now since she has faded from our sight her worth and beautiful life seem infinitely increased. When she realized that the time of her departure was at hand she was sweetly resigned and gave her friends her parting blessings and assurance of meeting them in heaven. She had no fear of death. We will always remember Sister Amy Green as a loyal church worker, a Christian woman. We will miss her in our community. Her voice is stilled in death. Another link is broken from the chain, but God knows best when our work is finished. The sister stewardesses will miss her loving council and unerring devotion for their Christian work. The B. T. Lee M. M. society will never forget her service rendered to the society one year ago and the comforting advice and how she enjoyed giving her aid during the M. M. conference. To day she is basking in the sunlight of God waiting for her loved ones to join her on the other bright shore. Pres. Mrs. H. Owens, M. M. S. Pres. Mrs. M. Green, Stewardesses.

Thay Are Now Protected by Game te'nalltg, Animes ta } ‘Bource of Income. Washington—The skunk brings an- mally to the trappers of the United Btates about $3,000,000, It stands second in Importance only to the suuskrat among our fur bearing ant mals. The valuo of a skunk skin in the raw fur market averaged from about 25 cents to $3.60 In December, 2913, and usually runs higher. At ‘though Ybis fur is not very popular in America, Europoans favor it because it wears woll and baa a luster which makes it rival the Russlan sable in ‘appearance. ‘Those facts are emphs- sized to a now farmers’ bulletin (No. 587) now being sent out by the United States department of agriculture, ‘which may be had free on application By those who aro interested in the “Beonomic Value ot North American Skunks.” ‘Thirteen states now protect the skunk by game laws, and a fuller un- derstanding of the economic value of these creatures to agriculture, ag well fas to commerce, will no doubt result tn protective measures in other lo- calities. ‘The earliest legislation for ‘the protection of these little animals grew out of appeals from hop grow: ers in New York because of thelr ‘value in killing the bop borer. This ‘was in 1893, and sinco then laws have ‘been passed for thelr protection in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Obfo, Indians, Iiinols, Michigan, Mis- sonrl, Kansas and North Carolina, The closed season for the skunk varies in ‘the @ifernt states, but in the opinion fof the author of this bulletin it should Ibo extonded to at least nine months tn every case, for at present there is a scarcity of fur animals and the increased demand for furs has put a higher premium on its pelt. Unless given moro adequate protection, it cannot long survive a high premium. In advising this close season It should bbe understood that the right of farm- era to destroy individual predatory akunks should always be reserved. London 1s a great market for Ameri- can skunk skins, In 1858 over 16, (000 skins of this animal were exported to London; ‘in 1911, over 2800,000. Although only s small percentage of our skins are now dressed and made up here, we have received in years past a good number of them back after they have been made up abroad, and many American ladies who would scorn to wear a skunk skin ave been proud of thelr imported “black mar- ten” of “Alaskan sable” which was merely the American skunk fur more attractively labeled. ‘The process of dressing the skunk aia aiid removing any lingering odor had-been improved year by. year, and meanwhile the fur has beén gaining a popularity. ‘The present extreme scarcity of Russian sable because of a Jaw that forbide the taking of that far, favors the foreign market { skunk, and even in this“country the uso of its skin ts increasing. ‘Tho recent high prices for skunk aking have led to a discussion of the subject of skunk raising on a commer- cla] basis, Although some breeders have encountered difficulties, on the whole there are good reasons for be- Heving that a profitable industry may be developed. Skunks are less wild than other members of the family to which the more important small fur bearers belong, and thelr diet per mits a good deal of latitude in feed- ing, whereas, the marten and the mink require a diet almost exclusive ly of meat. The problem of providing pens for rearing them fe also less ‘complicated in the case of the skunk. ‘an clonure gor skunks, should oe upy a welldstined, sandy hillside, partly shaded by ‘trees, ands partly ‘open land covered with grasses. An ‘acre will afford room for about 50 Adult skunks, A threefoot fence gade of poultry netting and having an Sver hanging barrier at the top is sufficient to confine the anipals. The wire should be No. 16 gauge, and the net- ting of oncinch mesh. This low fence, however, is not sufficient to keep out dogs, unless the overhanging 1s very argo and extends on both sides.

The statement was prepared by Capt, Douglas Mac- Arthur and approved by Major Gen- feral Leonard Wood, head of Uncle Sam's army. "No coufitry in the world has as complete a aystem of professional scholastic training for its officers as the United States," declares Captain MacArthur. “This 1s due to the In- herent difference between the military establishments of forelgn nations and that of our own. Their armies are at all thmes kept upon a war footing, as fa result of which they have ample op- portunity for the perfect training of the personnel in the practical duties of the military profession. “The most striking feature in our service {a the absence of what con- stitutes the very essence of the for ‘eign establishments; that 19, & great standing army serving In corps, dt- visions and brigades, in which the av- ‘erage officer of any grade learns the details of his profession by practical ‘work and with the minimum of the ory. “Our systems of military education miuat therefore differ from that of the other great nations of the world.

Se cr eres sacle ee AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Ee ‘The herole efforts being made by the ‘comparatively few colored Washing. tonlans cannot be Ignored, writes Mi- cchacl Jones in a communtcation to the Star of that elty. In the elty of Wash- ington, among many other enterprises ‘owned, operated and controlled by col- ‘ored people, are 600 grocery stores, large and small; more than twenty drug stores; two dozen firstclass tab lors, who cater to the finest trade; about forty dyeing and cleaning estab- Ushments and doxens of barber shops, undertaking establishments, confec- tlonary shops, etc. Washington col- ‘ored people own and control one shoe ‘tore, one thriving banking institution and several scientifically conducted in- surance companies. - ‘The continuation of just such steps ‘as have been taken by the few referred to above in business efforts, will do mote to solve the “race problem” than all the indignation meetings that can be held between now and the day of judgment. Lam thoroughly convinced that if halt the energy, pride, ambition, thought and money used in promoting indignation meetings were directed into channels that would lead to the erection of a manufacturing plant, te ‘organization of a corporation or the establishment of some other worthy enterprise, America’s most mistreated citizens would be better able to get that for which they strive and should rightly have. ‘The ten millions of Negroes in Amer- fea bay about 20,000,000 pairs of shoes ‘each year, for which they pay not less ‘than $40,000,000, but they operate scarcely a dozen small retail shoe stores, and there 1s not in existence one latge shoe factory owned, operated and controlled by negroes. Every year colored people in America spend more than $60,000,000 for hate (including Eater season), yet not more than {$10,000 of this ‘amount finds its way to colored hat dealers, haberdashers ‘and millinery shops combined. At $6 per capita America’s colored populs- tlon pays $60,000,000 each year for sults of clothes, but statistics will re- voal the fact that the combined bust- ness of Negroes in the clothes bual- ness does not amount to $260,000 a year, What is true of shoes, hats, sults and clothes in this relation is true of éverything that colored people wear and use, Is not there something radically wrong? Surely it fe timely and good to call the attention of a materially ‘weak race to such existing conditions, that tt may be atimulated to build and strengthen such a sadly neglected ‘Phase of Ite racial tite. ‘The National Negro Business league, of which Dr. Booker T.

Hundreds of negro builders, contractors, real es- tate brokers, managers of insurance companies, bankers, manufacturers, undertakers, druggists, general mer chandiso dealers, bakers, florists, etc. find their way to the annual meetings of the league.

CARE OF FERNS AND PALMS House Plante Need Much Attention But Their Beauty Makes It ‘Well Worth While. This ts the time when ferns and palms need a ttle attention. Ferns Seldom need repotting, but if the soll thas’ become heavy, close and “sour” it abould be removed, new and cfoan Grainage put to the pot and a mixture of fresh loam and silver sand. Cut off the withered leaves, being careful not to injure any new’ fronds that are coming up. If the repotting has not been neces: ‘sary, turn out the top compost and ll ‘up with the mixture of trea loam and ‘sand. Palms may bo treated in the same -way, and the leaves should never be allowed to wither entirely on the stem, or the plant will die. They atould be removed before the decay reaches the center stem. If the withered tips fare snipped off directly the decay will often bo arrested for a considerable time. Palms must never be placed in 8 draft, nor watered in the ordinary ‘way at the roots. Onco a week they should be placed, pot and all, in a atl of tepid water—rain water is beat left to stand for an hour or two, then ‘drained. ‘The leaves should be sponged care- fully on both sides with tepld water ‘and a tiny sponge or wad of cotton. Ferns, especially the finer kinds, are often watered too lavishly and fre- Quently, with the result that they rot. ‘They should de kept moist, but not wet. Water in which cut flowers have been kept is excellent for them, and they like a little cold tea occasionally. ‘They should bo washed with a fine wa- tering hose at least every other day and set out In fine rain on a mild day.

It was called a toy, but It had regular registration dial. Every time penny was placed in a slot and w lever pulled down the amount showed fn record. The man understood that the bank hold threo dollars in pennies and then automatlcally came open. Every night upon his arrival home the Bronx man called for his son's bank. Then he would give the boy & fow pennies to depoalt and feel. good. with himself to think how ho was en ‘couraging his gon in thrift. The thing Went oa, thls way for count weeks. ‘Then the Bronx man lookt at the dial. It showed 60 cents. He was surprised, because he was ab most certain that he had given bis Uttle boy enough pennies to click the recorder past tho doliar mark. For three or four nights when he gave his son pennies ho worked the lover himself and watched the dial fin- gers turn round. Then followed sev- eral nights when ho just tossed the ttle fellow the pennies and listened, for the bell to ring without looking at the dial. When the month was very nearly up ho called for the bank ‘again. It indicated $2.20, and again ho was greatly surprised, for ho had deen sure the amount would be right on the edge of three dollars, or the “open sesame” sum. He sent his boy ‘out for 80 cents’ worth of pennies, de- tormined to test tho bank to the Hmit. Penny after penny was placed in the ‘slot and. the indicator rang true all ‘the way up to the three-ollar mark. But the bank dia not pop open. The man put in another penny and up ‘came the figure “1 "in the cents placa on the dial. Still no opan. Again pens ny after penny was placed in the slot until the dlal showed $2.20 and not » sign of “opening up." ¥ “Til take that bank back where I ought It,” sald the irritated Bronk man.

Many cases of the disease give appendicitis and other severe diseases are traceable to prolonged clogging of the bowels. Regard-the effects of constipation E. Ayers, 6 Sabin St., Montpelier, Vt., says: M. W. H. WILSON "I was afflicted with constipation and biliousness for years, and at times became so bad I would become unconscious. I have been found in that condition many times. Physicians did not seem to be able to treat me, and I would become weak and for days at a time could do no work. Not long ago I got a box of Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets, and are using them found. I had never tried them, and the results in mild and effective manner. I believe I have at last found the remedy that suits my case." Thousands of people are sufferers from habitual constipation and while possibly realizing something of the danger of this condition, yet neglect too long to employ proper treatment, often results. The advice of all physicians is, "keep your bowels clean," and it's good advice. Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are sold by all drugstores, at 25 cents a box containing 25 doses. If not found satisfactory, your money is returned. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. Indigestion and Constipation.

If every case of an infectious disease were properly treated, and people were not so criminally selfish as to wish to be made exceptions, epidemics would be short lived and many lives would be saved. It is necessary to keep guards at some houses to keep the people from deliberately spreading their ailments to all the neighbors. short lived and many lives would be saved. It is necessary to keep guards at some houses to keep the people from deliberately spreading their alliments to all the neighbors. When a family does have the proper conception of public duty their friends come along with a lot of misinformation and moist-eyed sympathy and try to make them see that they are imposed upon. Quarantine and isolation are for the community and the best good to the largest number. Every case of infection comes from some other case. The wind does not blow it around, neither does God send it to punish the wicked. If this were the case I know of one or two people who would never see a well day. It is too bad that these things do not attack the wicked and leave the good alone; then all of us would be healthy and assured of a place in heaven, because it would pay and we could see the direct results of keeping in the straight and narrow path; as it is we do not know whether it is the man or his father that strayed. There are a lot of people straying around with diphtheria, mumps, typhoid, whooping cough, smallpox and measles, who are directly responsible for all the trouble in communities. These people are known as "carriers." While they often do not feel the effect of the disease, they leave a trail of stricken people behind. This is one of the reasons we need to watch over the babies and children; keep them away from sick people, do not let them eat after folks and allow people to kiss them in the mouth. Flies are about as safe around a baby as a dynamite cap with a hammer real handy. It matters not how you or your grandmother was brought up the fly has been caught in the act of carrying around at least ten diseases. The thing that makes one man "smarter than another is his ability to capture and hog tie a new idea." Aman is old when you cannot get him to accept a new and proven fact; he is ready for the scrap heap then. In this matter of health you may be up to the minute and keep fairly well or do like your grandmother did when they did not know the cause of many diseases and blamed them on the Lord. It is a reflection on the doctor if the baby dies of a summer diarrhoea. Somebody was careless if the baby gets pneumonia. Typhoid fever is a civic crime; smallpox is one's own fault—get vaccinated; summer diarrhoea is carelessness. Give the baby plenty of cool boiled water. Cut down the number of feedings on these sultry days; a cool bath on a hot day beats all the medicine in the doctor's case, KEOKUK NEWS.
