WORTHLESS 'CURES' Government Sends Out Warning Against Anti-Fat Treatment. Department of Agriculture Tests Some Of These "Remedies" on Its Own Employees and Finds Them to Be Valueless. Washington. — Numerous inquiries received by the United States department of agriculture indicate that promoters of so-called obesity remedies and fat-fatting curces are using an old trick dressed in new clothes to deceive fat people into spending money for worthless or dangerous preparations. The department of agriculture the vanity of people who wish to regain graceful figures and also to the business necessities of those who become so fat that they can no longer do their work efficiently. In order to be able to give a definite reply to many people inquiring about specific remedies, the drug specialists of the bureau of chemistry recently conducted a series of tests with a number of nostrums of this character on employees in the department who wished to lose surplus flesh without injuring their health. One of the most widely advertised so-called prescriptions for reducing flesh was tried for a period of six months. The results of this experiment were obliged to stop after taking the medicine for two or three weeks because of its injurious effect. The third subject gained two and one-half pounds instead of losing flesh. Another of the so-called remedies of a "Great Obesity Specialist" was tried. The subject scrupulously followed the diet list which accompanied this remedy and faithfully carried out the system of exercises recommended. After six months' treatment there was a reduction of 18 pounds of flesh, but this the experimenters attribute to the fact that the subject ate no bread, butter, starchy food pastry or sugar bread while after discontinuing the treatment the subject gained ten pounds, and in three months was back to the original weight recorded at the beginning of the treatment. The circuirs, letters and other announcements of these so-called obesity remedies, which are published broadcast, in many cases asserted that a two-cent stamp is the only charge. Those sending the two cents to the supposed philanthropist, who wishes to help other sufferers to get rid of surplus flesh, commonly received a statement that the physician or "professor" discovered this remedy in the wilds of some foreign country or received it from some famous Indian medicine man on his deathbed. Then after due praise of the effectiveness of the remedy the "professor" states that he is willing to supply this wonderful treatment for a fee of from $15 to the month. The doctor does not answer immediately but be withered with a line of follow-up letters, and finally as a great individual favor he is told that he can obtain this marvelous guaranteed flesh reducer for the sum of $3.50. In return for the reduced price, however, the patient must agree to tell all his友情的 about this wonderful means of shedding avoidurolips. Judging from the letters received by the department of agriculture appealing to it to stop this practice under the food and drugs act, women are usually the victims of these "professors." Much of the literature contained alleged statements of some individual woman's thrilling experience in fat-forming and fat-reducing, and this makes the situation seem real and personal to the other woman. Cases are on record where women have parted with almost their last dollar in the hope of improving their figures, and have awaited results with anticipation that makes their later disappointment almost pathetic. The literature that feature dieting is necessary; the medicine is to do it all, and the patient is told that he can eat all he wants and as often as he wishes, which is a strong inducement to most stout people. These preparations usually contain thyroids and laxatives. The thyroids may prove very hurtful unless given under the advice of a physician personally familiar with the subject's physical condition. The department has on record an instance where death has followed overdoses of preparations containing thyroids. Other preparations, including drug, and other drugs, a poisonous drug, and others, analysis show, contain nothing that could possibly have the slightest effect in reducing flesh. The only ways that the department's specialists know of safely reducing flesh are rigid dieting, and strenuous exercise, and those to be effective must be continued over a long period of time. The fat reducing patient must eliminate from his diet fats, starchy foods and sugar. In many cases it is not wise because of other physical conditions for fat people, attempt to eat excess food, and exercise a general rule diet and exercise best directed by a skilled physician. Loss of flesh is by no means a blessing if accompanied by loss of health, energy or strength. FIGHT ON HOOKWORM The campaign against the hookworm which was so successful in Porto Rico is now being extended to the tropical and semi-tropical possessions of the New Oil-Bearing Seal. Scientific investigation is being made of a newly discovered oil-bearing seed found abundantly on the island of Catanduana, in the Philippines. It grows on a large tree and comes from a brown pear-shaped fruit that opens not unlike a cotton boll when ripe and emits the seeds. The seeds are rough of surface and dark brown with the size of a dried prune and slightly kidney shaped. The tree has not yet been fully identified, but is thought to British empire and to Panama and Costa Rica in Central America. The extension of this world-wide campaign is being undertaken by the international health commission of the Rockefeller foundation co-operating with the governments of the countries affected. Wickliffe Rose, director-general of the commission, has just returned to Washington from a trip around the world in the interest of the work. Mr. Rose conferred with Lewis Harcourt, secretary of state for the colonies, in London. As a result the actual work of combating the hookworm disease is already well started in British Guiana and other parts of the British West Indies. In Egypt Mr. Rose found Lord Kitchener keenly interested in the work and eager to have involved in the operation of the Measures were instituted in Egypt by the medical missionaries some fifteen years ago and more recently the government has undertaken the work in certain localities. Journeying eastward, Mr. Rose visited Ceylon, the Malay peninsula and the Philippine islands, where he studied the existence of the disease and conferred with authorities concerning measures for its control. Returning by the Pacific route he had opportunity to secure some information about the existence of the hookworm infection in China, Japan and Corea. In British Guiana an intensive compulsory treatment in one district every inhabitant has been examined for hookworm disease and over 50 per cent were found to be infected. All of those infected have been placed under treatment. OIL IN TOMATO SEEDS. Government experts who are interested in agricultural by-products and the utilization of waste are following closely reports which come to this country of the new tomato seed oil industry which is growing up in Italy. Experts of the department of agriculture believe that this process will soon be introduced successfully in this country. The making of oil from tomato seeds is comparatively a new industry in Italy, and was started at Parma in 1910. The seeds are taken from the tomato refuse from catup and canning factories and the oil extracted from the seeds is used extensively in the manufacture of soap. The Italians are now conducting experiments looking to the manufacture of an edible oil from the seeds and this oil, it is expected, will become a cheap substitute for olive oil in the preparation of food. The tomato seed oil industry was successful in Italy from the first year, and at the present time between 6,000 and 8,000 tons of wet tomato refuse are worked out in the industry in this way each year. It is estimated that the 8,000 tons of wet tomato refuse will yield approximately 2,400 tons of dried tomato refuse, 240 tons, or nearly 650,000 gallons, of tomato seed oil. Besides the oil yielded from 8,000 tons of tomato refuse, it is estimated that 1,300 tons of oil cake is produced as a by-product, and this has taken an important place as a stock food in Italy. There are about 800 tons of tomato oil in each 8,000 tons of wet refuse from canning factories, and although no particular use has been found for the peel up to the present time, the Italians are making experiments with the object of finding out its value. The establishment of the tomato seed oil industry in Italy has given an added source of income to the tomato preserving and catup factories from the sales of the refuse material which was formerly thrown away. INCREASE IN FEMALE WORKERS. The proportion of gainful workers in the female population of the United States ten years of age and over increased from 14.7 to 23.4 per cent from 1880 to 1910, according to a report on occupations which has just been published by Director William J. Harrold of the William J. Harrold of commerce. In the same time the proportion of the male population ten years of age and over gainfully occupied increased from 78.7 per cent to 81.3 per cent. The proportion of the whole population ten years of age and over engaged in gainful occupations increased from 47.3 per cent in 1880 to 53.3 per cent from 1890 to 1900 and most rapid from 1890 to 1910. Whether or not the "feminist movement" of recent years has anything to do with the gain is not stated in the report, but the fact remains that one women of the country have increased their ranks of gainful earners nearly nine per cent during the time taken to reach the same level, a same period the men have made a gain of only a little more than two per cent. WOULD-BE FIGHTERS It is said that over 500 letters were received at the White House in one day, in the beginning of the Mexican scrap, from men offering their services as volunteers to fight in Mexico. It took the entire office force at the White House several days to answer the thousands of letters that poured in. One of the letters was from an Irishman in New York, who offered the services of himself and "100 more Irishmen to average the death of Charge O'Shaughnessy," and O'Shaughnessy was not dead at all. Of course the president has not had to call for volunteers as yet. belong to the genus Amoora or Dysoxylum.

"Divorce is necessary, and on other grounds than on which it is usually granted." "The future holds much for the race, and a generation will see us a better and greater people." "Some day we are going to awake and find that somebody has harnessed radium, and then the whole problem of transportation will be solved. It will be almost actively asial." "A boy shouldn't be sent to jail because he has sinned, but should be given a chance." These are some of the striking thoughts advanced by Judge Ben H. Lindsey, judge of the juvenile court of Denver. "The problem of society and how to live is one upon which most persons differ," said Judge Lindsey. "I am optimistic. I have made a long and, I believe, deep study of society, particularly children. It is in the children that the hope of our future lies. I have been attacked by women in Denver on the ground that I have not protected young girls; yet For two years, Bruce Ismay, the steamship corporation official, who drew the criticism of the world after the sinking of the Titanic, has been missing from the places that used to know him. PETER H. The captain of the lost liner went down with his ship, the first mate ended his broken life, and Bruce Isay, making his way into a lifeboat and to the deck of the rescuing ship, Pathia, sailed to safety. Then of a sudden he disappeared. Rumor whispered that his one-time friends avoided him, that club committees desired his resignation, even that his mind had failed under the terrible strain. Englishmen have scant sympathy for a coward. Pew men would be willing to live the life that Bruce Isay saved from the sea. No longer a streamable man, they love a Beau Brummel in Belgravia, the question of his whereabouts assumed the significance of a mystery.

A suburbanite, who changes his trousers when he gets home and goes into the garden to work, recently placed his pocketbook in his "working pants" because he expected to pay a bill. While he slept that night his house caught fire. He questioned for a moment whether he should put on his good trousers or the ones holding the pocketbook, and chose the latter. The better trousers were destroyed. Then he discovered only $2 in the pocketbook, and new apparel cost $3. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER I have secured in four years more than 100 convictions of young men who have violated society and the law, where juries in a dozen years previously convicted only four. But I am not disturbed. I do not believe a boy should be eternally damned because he has sinned against society, but he should be given a chance. Half the time he is not to blame. We are not as moral a race as the aborigines. John Grass, noted Sloux chief, told me that his people do not sin like the white race. There is no occasion for them to do so. Temptation is what weakens society, and we have not the moral force or the strength in this day to resist it. The remedy lies in the home and school. When our rents learn to teach their children justice and responsible behavior can hope for a better future. Our children, ordinarily, have no sense of justice or responsibility. This cannot be done in a day, but we can make the parents of a future generation understand the responsibility that is theirs. "I believe in divorce. It should not be restricted to one cause. Nonsupport and desertion should be good ground always for divorce. "We are coming to a greater and a better age.

The loneliest land in Ireland runs from Minna to Costello along the shore of Galway bay.

In the heart of this Irish wilderness a solitary lodge shows white against its surrounding patch of green.

But not one of them old, or young, would change places with the man who lives in that lodge—Bruce Isam." One of the reforms for city schools advocated by Commissioner Claxton is having the teachers accompany their pupils through all of the grades from the first to the sixth, instead of giving the child a new teacher every year. In this way the teacher and pupil will become better acquainted and the former will be much better qualified to perform the service of a moral teacher, which Mr. Claxton considers one of the teacher's most important duties. Another reform urged by the commissioner is the reduction of the preparatory course to six years and making the high school term the same length, thus eliminating the seventh and eighth grades, which he asserts are merely "marking time" periods for the students. Many reforms are continually taking place in public education. Whether Commissioner Claxton's plans are more generally remains to be seen. The teacher women as teachers, within 15 years, hardly appears feasible, but there is no telling what will happen once a reform receives impetus. preme court of Mexico, a position he had held previously, as a new chief justice is chosen from among the members of the Supreme bench every year.

Senor Carbajal is credited with leanings toward the avowed purposes of the constitutionalist movement.

DO ONE THING AT A TIME Too Many HousekeepsaP Lack System and as a Result Work Hard With Little Results. There is a good old saying which is familiar in its excellent advice to "let the head save the heels." But the nervous, energetic modern woman, whose head, full of a score of things to be done immediately, is usually far in advance of her heels, finds the ancient and honorable axiom, "one thing at a time," far better suited to her case. The woman who, passing through her bedroom to get her pocketbook out of a bureau drawer to pay the milkman, notices that the bed valance is awry, stops to adjust it and observes dust on the table leg near by, pauses to seize the duster from its bag, remarks that the duster should go into the laundry bag and drop it in the laundry bag, remembers this week, carries it to her sewing table, notes that she will need more white spool cotton before the dressmaker comes, catches up a pencil to jot down the memorandum and thereupon discovers on her memo and half a dozen things which must positively be attended to before lunch time, is very likely to have a nervous break around, and her husband probably wonders what on earth she has had to make her so nervous. Every good housekeeper knows that enough small matters can be carried in the head in one morning to keep the heels of three mails, a hired man and all the children running most of the afternoon; and in these days when bridge, charitable interests and club affairs occupy one part of the feminine mind and household business the other, the woman who refuses to allow herself to be harassed and distracted by too many thoughts at once, but who attends to one thing at a time with her whole mind, is she who keeps seene and avoids the great American breakdown at fifty. BETTER THAN HOT VEGETABLE Balads, Easily Made and Inexpensive, Should Hairline Be on Table In a Bunny in a Summer It is not necessary to have expensive asparagus tips or piments to make the most delicious salad. The humble string bean, carrot, turnip, beet and lima bean offer most delightful possibilities. Finely shredded cabbage with lima beans and grated carrot is most attractive. Beets and string beans combine well, and to those who like to make salads, even the smallest scrap of left-over can be advantage. So then, in summer cooking substitute the salad for the hot, steaming vegetable. It will save time and bother because then you can boil it in the early coolness of the day, lay in the icebox, and have all prepared for night without needing to bother just at supper-time. Wash and clean the lettuce early in the day, wrap in a bag of paper toweling or square of clean cheesecloth and put it in the icebox, and your salad is practically done. Mum apper in some form of apic, meat loaf, or even a hot meat dish, together with a vegetable salad dressed with plenty of olive oil, fruit and bread and butter is ideal. Balada a la Creole. Two solid, ripe tomatoes, two sweet green peppers, or one green and one yellow pepper, a Spanish onion and plain French dressing, with crisp tender lettuce. If you cannot get the yellow peppers see if you cannot get yellow (large) tomatoes in order to get a genuine Spanish combination of colors. Slice the vegetables nice and thin, throwing the onion and pepper in ice water for half an hour. Drain and arrange in alternate layers on the bed of lettuce. Sprinkle a few chopped, pickled nasturtiums or a chopped truffle over the whole and do not add the dressing until salad is served. Grapefruit Cocktails. Cut the grapefruit in halves, cut out the pulp in large pieces, set aside, then remove seeds and core, taking care not to injure the shell; take an equal quantity of fresh pineapple scooped from the pine aisle peeling and then cut into chunks; pulp sweeten to taste, flavor with green maraschino and dilute just be force serving with charged water and or three maraschino cherries on top. When Cramped for Space. A home-made contrivance keeps shirt waists fresh and unrumped, out of the way. Screw five hooks into a piece of broom handle about two feet long. Opposite the middle hook place a large sweater hung on the wall. Be hung from a small pulley attached to the closet ceiling. After putting waists on clothes hangers slip each ehanger on a hook and pull the whole up into the empty closet space. Magic for Rust Spots. To remove rust spots on bath tubs and basins and discolorations in toilet basins and sinks apply muratic acid with a mop. As soon as the discoloration is removed the acid should be removed from the water. The acid works like magic; it is almost instantaneous in its effect and the labor of scrubbing is saved. Fea and Sardine Salad. Slice one head of celery and four hard-bolled eggs, and place in salad bowl. Mash yolks of the eggs, four sardines, salt and pepper together and use enough cream to form a thick paste. Add the yolks and cream, mixing on the celery and white of eggs, and over that pour the cream dressing. Mlsaisalppl Traveler. Squeeze half a lemon over two teaspoons of sugar. Add a fresh egg and a dash of wine. Put in also two tablespoons of sugar. Put in an eggg shaker and shake to a froth. Currant juice may be substituted for the wine if desired, but if wine is used a good port is the best. JOURNEY OF HORROR Woman's Remarkable Voyage Down the Amazon. Mme. Godin des Odonnales the Only Survivor of a Company of Nine Persons Who Started in 1769 for Cayenne. "The most remarkable voyage on the Amazon was made in 1769 by Mme Godin des Oddonais," wrote Leutent William Lewis Hernand in his report on the exploration of the valley of the Amazon, made in 1853. And there in a musy volume you will find it, a record of the bravery of a woman who went from the head waters to the mouth of the river, enduring the most terrific hardships. "Mme. des Oddonais was the wife of a member of a French commission who was sent to measure the arc of the meridian near Quito," wrote her biographer; "she started in 1769 from Hilo Bimba, in Ecuador, to join her husband in Cayenne by the route of the Amazon. She embarked at Cancun on the Borbonia, on the coast of eight persons, besides herself before her. On the third day the Indians who conducted their canoes deserted, and another Indian whom they found slick in a hovel near the bank, and employed as a pilot, fell from the canoe in endeavoring to pick up the hat of one of the party and was drowned. "The canoe under their own management soon capsized, and they lost all their clothing and provisions. Three men of the party now started for Andoas, in the Pastaza, which they supposed themselves to be within five or six days of, and never returned. The party left behind now consisted of three females and two brothers of Mme. de Odonnals. They lashed a few logs, together, and attempted to navigate; but this frail vessel soon went to pieces by striking against the fallen trees in the river. Then they attempted to journey by foot along the banks of the river, but finding the growth here too thick a 1 tangled for them to make any way, they struck off into the forest in hopes of finding a less obstructed bath. "They were soon lost. Despair took possession of them, and they perished miserably of hunger and exhaustion. Mme. des Oddonnais, recovering from a swoon, which she supposed to have been of many hours' duration, took the shoes from her dead brother's feet and started to walk she knew not whither. Her clothes were soon torn to rags, her body lacerated by her exertions in forcing her way through the tangled and thorny undergrowth, and she was kept constantly in a state of deadly terror by the howl of the tiger and the hiss of the serpent. It is wonderful that she preserved her reason. Eight terrible days and nights did she wander alone in the wilderness of wilderness, supported by a few berries and bird's eggs. "Providentially (I cannot say accidentally) she struck the river at a point where two Indiana (a man and a woman) were just launching a canoe. They received her with kindness, furnished her with food, gave her a coarse cotton petticoat, which she preserved for years afterward as a memorial of their goodness, and carried her in their canoe to Andoas, whence she found a passage down the river, thereby laying down the river. Her hair turned gray with suffering, and she could never hear the incidents of her voyage alluded to without a feeling of horror that bordered on insanity." Chalk Briquettes as Fuel The Leeds briquette works at Hunlet has recently been making experiments to determine the possibility of the use of chalk briquettes for fuel. It is said that the company is able to obtain its chalk in the south of England at a cost of from 14 to 25 cents per ton, and that it is proposed to sell it in briquette form at from $3.75 to $5 per ton. The briquettes are five inches long, four inches wide and two and a half inches thick. It is claimed that they burn with life or no smoke, especially a small amount of ash, and that they give off from 40 to 50 per cent less smoke than coal. If the idea should prove as successful as seems possible from the foregoing it will be a large step toward the solution of the smoke problem.—Power. All Depends on the Boy. After all, the right kind of boy will make any kind of work a stepping-stone to higher things. Even acting as a golf caddie need not be the "blind alley" that some observers, particularly in Great Britain, have thought it. A Massachusetts man who was a caddie about fifteen years ago writes to a Boston newspaper that among his associates on the links at that time there were a dozen boys who have become the most successful carer, dentist, builder, chemist, electrician, drug clerk, policeman, carpenter, business man and professional golfer — all successful and contented in their work.

Hot Broadened by Travel Visitor—You have been abroad such a long time that I expect you have contracted foreign manners. Hostess—Yes, indeed; we were in Cuba long enough to become regular pubs. I don't know whether I ought to admit to really seeking a husband. But that's what it all amounts to, after all. Mother says that every girl's fate is written in the stars. I wonder if it is really true. Anyway, it seems rather a risk to wait, life is such a lottery, and love comes to every girl but once. So I am not going to let my chances go by, and it is safer to think of every man as a possible husband. I have just discovered that I never in all the world could marry Dick. It took me quite a while to find out, and the first time I had any serious doubts about the matter happened in this way, and asked me to the first dance of the show. I really did look adorable. I didn't know him very well at the time, but I did think he might say something about my appearance. Going down in the taxi he said, rather impressively: "Didn't think I'd get here at all tonight. Had a bad auto smashup last night, and was tied up all day with it." "Oh, what a shame!" I said, bent on being agreeable. "I hope no one was hurt." "No; we got the girls out of it all right," he returned, "and I suppose we outwitted him, and that he. He said it with a world-weary eye, which was nauseant, no doubt, to impress me, and I was just about to make a horrid retort when we drove up to the club. As we were going upstairs, Marian Collins halted him above. "Hello, Dick," she said, as though the two wore on very intimate terms. "Some excitement on Broadway last night, wasn't it. He you scolded me, and I laughed, and passed on the cloakroom. Marian is all right, but just a little forward with men." During the first dance things cleared up considerably. Dick's eyes said indescribable things, and, as I said before, I did look rather well. I fancied he gave me up rather reluctantly, too, and I was really regaining my spirits when I saw him over in a corner with Marian, carrying on a lively conversation. That wasn't so bad, but then he danced three times in succession with Marian and my fighting blood was up. Marian's partner was anything but exciting; but I flirted desperately and I was so excited that Dick's attention was aroused. He left rather abruptly and came over to me. I looked up with a charming smile, and said innocently: "Is this our dance?" And then with my most fascinating smile: "I have enjoyed our conversation so much, Mr. Olds, perhaps we can continue it some other time this evening." When we were out of hearing Dick said abruptly: "What do you mean by flirting with that Idiot, Olds?" "Flirting?" I said, innobly, "why. I was merely enjoying myself. You were very obviously doing the same with Marian Collins." "Nonsense," said Dick, and then a little less brusquely, "I was beginning to feel quite jealous." "I don't think you have any right to take me to task for my actions in any case, Dick." I answered, "I am perfectly well able to take care of myself." Then my partner came up, and the rest of the evening passed without any more mishaps. As we were downstairs Marian Collins leaned over and whispered to the Dick's ear. He acquiesced, smiling, and she laughed good-night over the banisters. In the taxi Dick leaned forward and said: "Did you have a good time, Peggy?" "Very," I answered, and then, just to be mean, I added, "Mr. Olds has promised to teach me that new Venetian waltz." "I wish you wouldn't bother with George Olds," he rejoined, stiffly. A minute later we stopped, and Dick helped me out carefully. "T'll call you up tomorrow," he said, as we said good-night. "All right," I answered, coolly, as I ran up the steps. And then I wondered afterward why I hadn't said something more—Exchange. Englishman Lover of Music Thomas Beecham, to whom musical England owes a lasting debt of gratitude, owing to his efforts to popularize grand opera, was born in 1879. It is of unusual interest to note that on his mother's side he is descended from Thomas Welles, one of the Purifian fathers. He was educated at Wadham college, Oxford, though his musical career began at the age of five, when he sang treble in part songs. Ultimately he studied the piano and composition, and, upon leaving Oxford, founded an orchestra at his native town of St Helens. And it was then that he discovered that his forte was conducting. War News Exploded Glass Eye. M. C. Canterbury, a farmer residing near Huntington, W.

Washington to this city and the splendid address, which he delivered brought to mind an incident of a few weeks ago, relates the Chicago News. A young negro of what might be called the dilatente class, was heard saying to a newly arrived stranger: "Don't tell any one in Chicago that you are from Tuskegee institute." To this advice the stranger without hesitation replied to the effect that he was proud to be identified with an institution that meant so much constructively in the life of his race, and that any one who was conversant with the needs of the people served by the school could not be disloyal to it. The former young man did not necessarily mean harm, but unfortunately he mirepresented the spirit of this great city. Chicago, sharing the American ideal, is in harmony with movements everywhere which makes for human uplift, and her representative citizens are as eager to encourage in Alabama as well as in Illinois any organization representing an investment in useful, nondependent citizenship. The Tuskegee institute is not only an efficient school for training the negro in manual arts and in agriculture. It is primarily a school for human culture, indeed for race culture, considering the important part it has played and is destined to play in the education of the negro race. It took the world a long time to acknowledge the truth that physical control and the workman's skill in the manipulation of his tools and the practice of his art are as essential contributions to human welfare and to appreciate a few are from an academic point of view or to translate classical writings or decipher fascinating problems in mathematics. Those who have not kept abreast with the trend of education and the progress of the glorious humanitarian movements of this day are the ones who date upon what a living age has buried in books. They offer no helping hand in the solution of vital problems. The state is an active agency not only in education but in social amelioration. truly there can be no complete appreciation of the work that Doctor Washington is doing for this country if the appalling need for this work is overlooked. As this need is realized so will the friends of the work increase, together with the encouragement and inspiration of his benevolent supporters. At an expenditure exceeding $10,000,000 London will build a dock ample enough to accommodate any merchant steamer afloat or which will be likely to enter the Thames for many years to come. A thousand persons gathered in Epiphany church in G street at Washington to bid farewell to James. For forty-one years James, the colored sexton, had rung the chapel bell that called the parishioners and greeted their arrival with a happy face. He was accorded honors at his funeral service that no person ever buried from that church has received. The aged negro was given the distinction of having a funeral address presided for him, as sermons on burial occasions are never given in the Episcopal service. Five hundred colored people attended the service and were ushered into their places by the usual church attendants. The Panama canal is lighted along its entire length by electricity, for lighthouses, buoys, etc. A recent bulletin issued by the census bureau giving mortality figures for the year 1913, seems to have made a deep impression in the South because of the ominously high figures for the negroes in the southern cities. These are the deaths per thousand: White Negro Memphis 16.7 28.2 Richmond 16.9 26.8 New Orleans 15.6 31.9 Baltimore 16.2 31.0 Nashville 14.7 24.0 Birmingham 12.3 26.2 Atlanta 13.5 25.2 Washington 14.4 24.4 The Atlanta Constitution vigorously calls attention to this situation, pointing out that the diseases which cause a death rate among the negroes must, in the close contact of urban life, be a menace to the whites have a selfish interest in improving the standards of negro life—Springfield Republican. A serious-minded Englishman read a paper before the Royal Statistical society the other day, in which he recommended that a card index registering the details of the lives of every person should be kept at some central government office. Every person would have his number, according to this scheme, which already has given considerable amusement to Punch and the humorists generally. Electric vehicles are now being used in the streets of London for sprinkling and sweeping. The meteorological service of Russia finds itself in the position, rare in the experience of European scientific institutions, of having ample funds for its present needs and future development, thanks to a liberal increase in its budget recently authorized by the government. The expression "an inch of rain" refers to the mark on a standard rain gauge, the amount of rain equivalent to the distance between two such marks being represented by nearly 101 tons over an acre of land. "Give the negro a chance." This was the theme that thrilled through the address of Booker T. Washington when he spoke at Chicago before the convention of the International Sunday School association in Medinah temple. Mr. Washington proved to be one of the most popular speakers that have addressed the convention and his appeal to the negro school leaders to help the negro school leaders give him a chance brought repeated from the delegates and visitors who filled the big hall to overflowing. "What the black man needs is the old time religion," said the speaker. "That's the theology I want to take to my people. The negro is better off close to the soil and in the South, and I want to keep him there, if you will bring the Sunday school to him. Take the theology to him, the theology that says 'the church shall not steal.' 'Thou shalt not kill,' 'Thou shalt not bear false witness,' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.' "I want no man's sympathy because I am a negro," he said. "I thank God every day that I belong to this race. I wouldn't change places with the whitest man in America. We have problems to solve, such problems as the white man has not, and my people need some one to lead and help them. But remember, it is not always unfortunate for a race to have problems to confront; such problems turn races into kings and nations." The resolutions committee reported to the convention and resolutions favoring a federal law for the regulation of marriage and divorce, a single standard for parity for both sexes, rigid laws against commercialized vice, lotteries and gambling, consoling of moving pictures, the abolition of child labor under the age of 18, destruction of the liquor traffic, the advancement of international peace and the observance of the sabbath were passed. Country negroes of the better type are good workers and thrifty managers, preure sure to become ultimately land owners and self-employers. Negro ownership of land in the South increased 150 per cent in the first decade of the twentieth century. But in this advancement of the best of the race from tenancy and wage working to larger or smaller agricultural proprietorship the author sees a bad influence upon those less fortunate or deserving an agency making for the deterioration in character and efficiency in the labor left available for the white man's plantation; her observation and interest seem to be rural and agricultural more than urban and industrial. And the unreliability of this labor is in turn responsible for devices verging upon neonism, holding the laborer to the land with chains of debt: "For many years the South squandered the fertility of her fields. We are learning of late years, slowly and painfully, to build up the impoverished soil, and restore it to its former richness. But we have overlooked the squandered fertility of labor. Until we build up the worker the material on which his work is spent will never yield its normal return. The houses of very many farm laborers are more than enough to sap their vitality, to destroy ambition and self-respect and to foster immorality and disease. Conditions like these lick from the community its capital of human productiveness."—Mrs. L. H. Hammond, in her book "In Black and White." The president of Uruguay is reported to be considering the advisability of creating a national printing establishment to undertake all the printing work of the various government departments. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has for its purpose to protect colored women from moral and financial exploitation, to provide playgrounds and recreation centers, to organize boys' and girls' clubs and neighborhood unions of adults, to secure and train negro social workers, to develop co-operation among welfare agencies, to provide employment facilities to fit workers for their occupation, to provide probation care for juvenile and adult delinquency, and to adultiate people in vice wise where respectable people may have homes, and to investigate city conditions among negroes. Its headquarters are in New York. Argentine telegraph companies are bringing into general use a system whereby messages are received automatically with printed type. In the days of old Rome a woman's character was known by her dress. The toga was worn by the men, but the stola was the raiment for the women. It was a loose garment worn over the tunic, and was usually caught at the waist by a girdle. Divorced women and courtesans were not allowed to wear it. Russia is making great efforts to develop unproductive parts of the Caucasus by preventing river floods and increasing irrigation drainage and canal construction. A ship-building shop is maintained in connection with the high school in San Pedro, Cal., where, under the practical instruction of a naval architect, the students learn how to build a boat, make and place the engine and launch and run the craft. In the fall of 1913 the organized garment workers in New York numbered 226,528. The United States in 1913 imported pounds of coffee, valued at $100,000. SAVING TIME AND STRENGTH Proper Planning of Household Duties Will Do Away With Much Unnecessary Wear and Tear. The housewife should carefully study the conservation of her strength and energy during the hot weather. All the short cuts to housekeeping, as well as the many little devices for saving time and labor, should be carefully considered. That is one of the best features of the modern housekeeping. It teaches the conservation of energy, of training the head to save heels; the adding of the element of耐久感 and scientific thought to the problem of the home that will save the wife and mother from unnecessary wear and tear. Careful menus planning is one of the means by which she may reduce her labor—by omitting dishes laboriously made that often served from force of habit. The mother and grandmother probably handed them down as prized possessions, and it seems almost a sacrilege to omit their preparation, even though it means hours over a hot store. By substituting others of equal food value, but which require less time and labor in preparing, much time and strength may be saved. A more careful study of food values will soon enable even the busiest housewife to do the same. The same reduction of labor may be made in regard to cooking. There are so many fabrics on the market that are equal in appearance if not superior to garments made from those that often require hours and hours of the most arduous toll over the wash-tub or ironing board to make ready for a few hours' wear. When the housewife studies the elements of the science of utility and proportion that underlie even the commonest household task she will then add more than ever by common sense, when she avoids unnecessary work, worry or mischief that rob a woman of her birthright of pleasure and happiness and make her look old before her time. MAKE USE OF RASPBERRIES No Other Fruit More Suitable for the Tilt-Bits That All the Family Appreciate. Raspberry charlotte is made from one pint of raspberries, half a pint of bread crumbs, two eggs, one pint of milk, two ounces of powdered sugar, one ounce of butter. Butter a pie dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs, then put in a layer of raspberries and sprinkle with sugar. Repeat the alternate layers of crumbs, raspberries and sugar until the dish is full. Beat up the eggs with milk and pour into the dish. Scatter a few bits of butter on top and bake in a moderate oven. For a delicious raspberry pudding take half a pint of raspberries, six ounces of bread crumbs, quarter pound of powdered sugar, quarter pound suet, two eggs and half a pint of milk. Finely chop the suet and mix with milk and bread crumbs. Beat the eggs and add to the other ingredients. Lastly add the raspberries. Put the mixture into a greased mold and steam from two and a half hours to four hours. Raspberry porcupine requires a large stale sponge cake, half a pint of berries, one pint of made custard and two ounces of sweet almonds. Stew the raspberries gently with a little sugar and set them aside to cool. Scoop out the center of the sponge cake and pour it over it. Pour over it the custard and when partly cool stick it all over with blanched almonds. Custard Sauce Add a pinch of salt to a pint of milk and scald in a double boiler. Pour this over the yolks of two eggs which have been well beaten and added to one-half cupful of sugar. Stir for a few minutes, then pour back into the double boiler. Cook until smooth and creamy, but not too thick to pour easily. Add a pinch of sugar with one teaspoonful of vanilla or almond, or better still, crack a few peach stones, blanch the kernels and cook them with the custard. Potato and Olive Salad Cut into dice four good sized bolted potatoes and add 15 stoned olives cut into good sized pieces and two hard-bolled eggs also cut up. Sprinkle with salt, olive oil and vinegar and fold toGET; set on ice for an hour; add half a cup of cream to the left, and put a few rings of olives on top. This can be made very attractive nicely arranged on a bed of lettuce leaves. Recipe for Bran Bread. Doctors now prescribe dieting foods largely in place of medicine. Nothing is better for constipation than bran bread. Here is a recipe that has been tested and is palatable as well as healthful: Four cupfuls of sterilized bran, two cups of white flour, two cupfuls of buttermilk and one-half teaspoonful soda. Bake until thoroughly done. Add raisins if desired. Creamy Cocoa. To make a delicious, creamy cup of cocoa or chocolate, add a pinch of salt to the usual ingredients. When the whole comes to a boil beat with a Dover egg beater for two minutes; the scum, which is so unusually and distasteful, is removed and each cup before pouring the cocoa rises to the top and takes the place of whipped cream as well as giving a delightful flavor. Flight the Fly: The files will keep you fighting these days. Clean up every dirty spot around the house and barn, and go over every floor and window screen carefully to see that there are no broken spaces. Helpful Topics Helpful Tonica, Garlic, leeches, stimulate the circulation of the blood. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER BASEBALL The Southern league race is extremely close. Eddie Plank does not seem to have slipped back so fast after all. Wilbur Cooper is the most effective pitcher the Pirates have just now. Beck of the St. Louis Cardinals has one of the best throwing arms in the big league. Pitcher Al Dammee of the Glants is not showing the classy goods he displayed in 1813. The Rochester club has secured Pitcher Ernest Manning from the St. Louis American club. Outfielder Frank Long, who was let out by the London team, has been picked up by Hamilton. The Boston Red Sox are alleged to be after Ty Cobb. In exchange they would give Tris Speaker. George Davis, once a White Sox star, has been engaged as a scout for the New York Highlanders. That American league race is one of the prettiest that Ban Johnson has been able to engineer in years. Josh Devore has done some flitting since he was a Giant, having been in turn a Red, a Quaker and a Brave. The Pittsburgh Club has turned pitcher Barney Duffy over to the Des Moines club, of the Western league. Benny Kauff, who is leading the Federal league with a batting average of 460, once belonged to the New Yorks. Manager O'Brien of the New Bedford club, claims he has the best receiver in the Colonial league in Murphy. Pitcher Dave Davenport, who forsook the Reds for the Feds, is having a rough time in his new field at St. Louis. "Lefty" Rogers, Ottawa's star left hand heaver, is on crutches and hardly able to move. Rogers will be out of the game for weeks. Hans Wagner has succumbed to golf, along with many of his well-known associates on some of the other major league teams. Bob Beschler of the Glants, is not showing so well in the art of base stealing as he did when he was a member of the Reds. Catcher Forrest Cady of the Red Sox, has a brother, twenty years old, who gives promise of developing into an all-around player. Newark evidently misses the fine stick work of Jack Dalton, who is now with Brooklyn, and is leading the National league batsmen. Brockenton fans claim President Dan Smith has picked up the greatest outfielder in the league in Jacobson, who is attending to the left pasture. Ward Miller, the former Cub, is falling down in his hitting. He started out at the top of the list, but he has descended as have the Slouffeds. Joe Cantillon is grooming Red Killie for the big league this fall. Pongo wants big money for the former Washington Senator, and it looks as if he would get it. --- Kingman, the youngest who Griffith turned over to Chance, is the second left-handed first baseman from California the New York American league club has had. "Midge" Craven, the scrappy manager of the St. Thomas team, is popular all over the circuit. His team, with a little strengthening, should be a pennant probability. The Boston Braves this year have a battery composed of two brothers—George and Fred Tylor. George Tylor, the pitcher, is one of the best of the lethanders when properly handled. Scout Chick Fraser has turned in to the Pittsburgh club a young catcher named William H. Wagner, halling from Sunner, In. He is six feet one inch high and is considered a promiscuous youngster by Scout Fraser. Jim Shaw and Joe Angel, the two young beavers of the Washington Senators, have been pitching wonderful ball in the last few days, and Clark Griffith believes they will help his team get there or thereabouts. Pitcher Perdue of the Boston club, recently traded to St. Louis, is sore over the alleged fact that President Gaffney deprived him of chance to play with the Giants by blocking a deal of Perdue for Murray and one other player. When the Brooklyn Nationals drafted Shortor O'Mara from Fort Wayne last September, few of the experts believe that the younger would remain in fast company. O'Mara is a quick thinker, a good bitter, and very fast on the bases. 1 They say that Bill Keeler never thought about his hits, but I don't believe it," said Ed Konechty, the Pirate first baseman, during a discussion of the Pirate batting slump the other night. "Keeler must have been human like the rest of us," went on Ed, "and any ball player who doesn't admit that he dearly loves to feel the safe ones ringing off his bat is only trying to kid himself. "I haven't been hitting for a long time but I have tried everything to get back in my stride. I have stepped this way and that, but when they're going against you it is no use." Birdie Cree has regained his batting eye and is fielding sensational ball. Joe Birmingham predicts that the Naps will win two-thirds of their remaining games. At Milwaukee, Umpire Brick Owens sustained a broken shoulder when an old fracture was hit by a boul tip. Marsans has vowed that he is going to do all in his power to disorganize the Reds and get the players to jump to the Fede. The Kansas City club has sold Shortstop Pfeffer—who was purchased from the Athletics—to the Topeka club of the Western league. Owner Woodward of the Birmingham (Ala.) club has had several dozen electric fans installed in his grand stand for the use of his patrons. Smith, the Savannah catcher, signed by Scout Kinsella for the Giants and to report later, is said to be one of the few catchers who is a fast runner. Vic Saler is taking extra good care of his home run but these days. He will not let any other member of the team use his stick if he can help it. They talk so much about Clyde Milan of the Senators as a base pilferer, but you've got to hand it to young Fritz Malesel of the Highlanders. Mike Gonzalez of the Cincinnati team has been offered the management of the Havana club for the winter months, and the chances are that he will accept. If the leaders of organized ball have $400,000 locked away in their strong box they should cut loose with it if they expect to stop the Feds winning the public over. . . . Says the New York Sun="Mr. Anderson, an umpire, started a fight because the Indianapolis fans heaved the ball there's a fellow that can't take a joke." SPORTING WORLD Kenrich Kelly, the former Baltimore Polytechnic institute sprinter, will enter Cornell university next fall. The New York Athletic club has a runner named Homer Baker. He carried off the half-mile title in the British events. Silk Hatch recently worked a mile in 2.121² and back in 2.13. He is going all right this year and may come up to expectations. South Africa may send a team of Rugby football players to the San Francisco Panama-Pacific exposition sports next year. Several British golf players are likely to come over to this country for the amateur championship to be held at Ekwanok. Vincent G. Sanborn of New York city, a junior in Columbia college, has been elected captain of the victorious 'varsity crew for next year. Robert Calander, a Canadian quoit player, is to be matched to pitch a game against William Stemp, the English champion, in Buffalo. Bud Goodwin, the veteran swimmer of the New York Athletic club, stands ready to defend his title of one-mile champion of America this season. The six-day bicycle race in New York this year will take place from November 15 to 21. It will be held as usual in Madison Square garden. The Prix du President de la Republicue will run at Maisons-Lafite, near Paris, France, and was won by Baron Maurice de Rothschild's Sardanapale. They're still disputing about that Harvard-Yale boat race, won by Old Eddy by an eyelash. Some have the audacity to say the judges didn't see straight. DIRT IS HEALTHY? FOR THE CASTAWAYS Medical Journal Gives Soil Clear Bill of Health. Bacteria of Fever and Other Diseases Are Killed Instead of Nurtured by Mother Earth, is a Doctor's Pleasant Theory. That many diseases arise from soil conditions was formerly a widespread belief, and is still assorted by many authorities. A writer in the Medical Council, Philadelphia, asserts that this theory is outworn and that the soil, except where abnormally infected, is not a disease. Theories of disease. The theories that malaria is due to soil conditions, he says, have utterly collapsed, and of the disease once thought to originate in the soil, including "military fever," typhoid, yellow fever, and more recently pellagra, erysipelas, berberi, dysentery, tuberculosis, tetanus, anthrax, amoebid dysentery, cholera infantum and epidemic meningitis, it is now fairly certain that none is there present nor any of the organisms of some may infect both soil and water, but these are only "carriers" in such cases, not generators. "As medical science advances," he writes, "it is more than probable that the soil as a generator of disease will be dismissed from consideration. It is quite true that buried accumulations of fifth may proliferate various organisms, but that normal soil does so, except as taught in agricultural books, is not probable. The normal bacteria of the soil are not pathogenic to man. "After going through much authoritative literature, we are unable to find many authenticated instances of pathogenicity in soil. More and more is it being thought that tetanus bacillus largely come from the intestinal tracts of the domestic animals and do not proliferate in the soil, although the spores may long remain viable. "As a matter of fact, normal soil is a natural and beneficial bacteriological laboratory, various nitrifying bacteria promoting growth and others decomposing humus and organic matter, thus rendering it available as plant food. But when natural conditions are disturbed the bacterial balance is also disturbed and fungi, algae and other organisms proliferate, to the detriment of man and animals. Note, it is not so much bacteria but other organisms which proliferate in disturbed and cultivated well. And yet the processes of artificial cultivation are often productive of vegetable forms of diminished resistance, as note the phylloxera disease of cultivated grapes, the various blights and the root growth so destructive of highly developed plant life. "The soil is a great conservator of health, not a menace; its life and death processes are among the most wonderful in nature. 'Back to the soil' needs to be a health slogan as well as an economic one. But what kind of soil? The best answer is that of modern scientific farming, which conserves the soil and makes it more of a very artificial thing; but it is now being naturalized. And the encouraging thing is that science pays in efficiency and dollars and cents. Scientific farming is not only the most profitable, but it is one of the greatest conservators of public health. "And yet how foolish some sanitarians are! One alleged scientist recently stated that he would as soon his children played with poison as with earth, as all of the pathogenic bacteria came from the soil. And another 'city grass' that he planted in grass be allowed to grow within the limits of the city. Children know better, and 'scientists' should. "Let us go back to the soil and the sun! Let us cease contaminating the soil and the atmosphere, and sanitation will progress by leaps and bounds. Sanitarians are, perforce of circumstances, compelled to make insanitary work in the polluted environment, what a great work could be done were these unnecessary conditions removed and the sanitarian allowed to devote his attention more to man in a proper environment! Man himself is the great problem, after all. This world is a place 'where every prospect pleases and only man is vile.' Too long have we blamed our troubles upon this good old earth, and we have begun to begin with ourselves and let the earth wag along as the Creator intended it should." Validity of the Tultion Rule Village or town to town The supreme court of North Carolina, the Tucker vs. Horner Miltalina school that "where a private school according to its catalogue, required the payment of tuition in advance, and the catalogue was sent to a parent who sent his child to the school, the parent was liable for full tuition, notwithstanding the expulsion of the child on reasonable grounds, the rules also stipulating that the tuition would be forfeited on expulsion." Prayed for Sick Steer. Believing in the efficacy of prayer, J. W. Horn, a farmer of York, Pa., refused to kill a slick steer after being advised to do so by several veterinarians and as a consequence he was haled before a local alderman to answer him. It is said that Mr. Horn prayed that the steer would be cured, after having read that the Lord had cured leprosy and had performed other miracles. Protects Hate from Balm Christina Mullaney of New York city has patented an emergency covering for hats, which cover is made of waterproof paper and can be secured to the hat by the customary hat pins employed to hold the hat on the head. Nothing Too Severe "Some of the tortures the Chinese inflict are diabolically ingenious." "Yes," replied the baseball fan. "Some of them would be worth trying on the man who unpicked the game I was telling you about." Stations With Provisions Established on Lonely Islands. Most Extensive of These Supplies Are Those Existing South of the Liner Track to Australia Via the Cape. That all expeditions whether arctic or otherwise, place food depots within in reach of case in course of course well known, but few people are aware that there are certain rarely visited islands and desolate coasts where depots of provisions and necessities have been placed for the use of shipwrecked crews. The most extensive supplies of this sort are those existing on some of the lonely islands in the South Pacific, which is one of the liner track to Australia via the Cape ile Crozet and Kerguelen islands. In the jubilee year of Queen Victoria a French warship placed in a hut on one of the Crozets a good stock of food and necessities, including two spears and two hatchets. It is highly probably, says Pearson's Weekly, that the bulk, if not all of these stores, are still there, for the warship in England found the provisions left by British sailors eight years before absolutely intact. The handbooks furnished to all British shipmasters indicate exactly the whereabouts of these cached stores. A seal hunter, who sought to find the depot on Kerguelen island, wrote: "It was as easy as if we had a signpost." "The Kerguelen depot was fitted out by the船东 Euro ship in 1883 left "2,250 pounds of preserved boxes in 9 pounds, 1,125 pounds of biscuits, 90 swainskin shirts, 20 pairs of trousers, 100 pairs of socks and packets of matches." Furthermore great trouble was taken to protect the stores from the weather. The beef boxes were coated with tar, as were the iron hooped barrels containing the biscuits and clothes and the matches were in boxes painted over with red lead. During the ten years afterward Captain du Battant spent many months sealing on the island, examined the depot. Even though the goods had been buried beneath a cairn of stones the casks had rotted away and the clothing fell to pieces when opened out. The biscuits had been turned to sour pulp and long green strands of moss were growing on the barrels. The tinned beef was perfectly good and the meat was so hard that it could find the matches, but left some of his own, together with needles and twine. On Amsterdam island, further north, the Board of Trade handbook notifies the fact that the French supplies are in a cavern where also have been left a cooking pot, cots and dry wood. On this island the stranded Cruise ship was loaded with wild cabbage and celery growing, and lobsters and fish are plentiful. On the west coast of Tasmania there are some very lonely districts. At Rocky Point shipwrecked mariners may find relief stores, and in order to aid them to regain civilization, tracks have been made for their benefit. The mariner murmur pointing in the direction to the relief station." And on a river where fording is necessary araft has been left in readiness. Similar provisions exist on some of the outlying islands of New Zealand and these are visited by a government steamer once or twice a year in case castaways are needing rescue. In Vancouver shelter sheds are erected on some lonely islands and three of the best relief can ring up a central station on the telephone. Refugees in Tierra del Fuego learn from the same source about quoting that "they can trust the Yaghans to conduct them to mission settlements," but the "Alacalufa are aggressive and treacherous, though, however great their number, and the number of three or four persons, especially if they are aware that those persons possess firearms or implements resembling them." Tap an Evidence of Health: The tanned face is an indication of health. If one has failed to acquire this brown after having spent his vacation in the open air, exposed to the sun and wind, then there is something wrong with the health. The dark pigmentation in the skin is the result of the sun burning the hemoglobin, or red blood stuff, out of the tissue units and depositing them in the upper layers of the skin. The depth of brown that may be acquired is the measure of one's vitality, and a failure to acquire it may also look to his health. During the present summer vacation season, just keep this in mind, and note what the index tells regarding your physical condition. Graze for Boxing. It is curious to see how fashionable boxing is becoming in Europe. In this country it is still under a cloud, and the narrow gulf between boxing and prizefighting does not avail. Just what the difference is nobody has been able to make very clear, but it is at least a useful distinction that boxing is in fashion and prizefighting is not. France has become infatuated with "it boxe," while in England a correspondent of the Times refutes that "boxing is once more a national game in the land of its origin;" and discusses weightly whether women should attend boxing matches. The Land of the Free The Prince of Monaco, who, having had both an English and an American wife, knows whereof he speaks, said of marriage at a dinner: "Through marriage a French woman gains her liberty, an English woman loses hers, and an American woman—" The prince paused and looked quizzically about him. "Yes? The American woman?" said a debutante. "The American woman," ended the prince, "continues to do as she likes."—Argonaut AN IDEAL OUTING. The ideal outing is one which no only affords recreation, but also has educational value such as will prove an inspiration to greater achievement. It has long been recognized that an exposition or fair combines the possibilities of recreation and education in an unusual degree. It is the recognition of this condition that has made the Iowa State Fair such a success. The Fair this year is to be held at Des Moines Aug. 26 to Sept. 4, and the educational features will stand out most prominently. There will be numerous lecture courses. There will be informative lectures with reference to Iowa crops, soils and agricultural problems as well as other exhibits. There will be experts on hand to explain exhibits, and the man, woman or child who comes to the Iowa State Fair with a thirst for knowledge and a real ambition to take advantage of the wonderful resources and opportunities in Iowa will indeed find the Iowa State Fair in all of its appointments and conveniences an ideal place to study Iowa. SUCCESSFUL IOWA BAND. Two high class Iowa bands which will play at the Iowa State Fair, Aug. 26 to Sept. 4, are Landers' Fifty-fifth Iowa Infantry Band of Charinda and T. Fred Henry's Band of Des Moines. Mr. Landers has been known in Iowa as a successful band leader for many years and won a great name for himself at the time of the Spanish-American war and immediately thereafter T. FRED HENRY, LEADER OF HENRY'S BAND. with his famous Fifty-sixth Regiment Band. Mr. Landers in making his contract insisted on a clause which would permit him to cancel the engagement in case he and his band were needed in the war with Mexico. Henry's Band is one of the most popular bands of Iowa and filled a most successful engagement at the Iowa State Fair last season. CHAMPION POLAND CHINA BOAR AT THE IOWA STATE FAIR, AUG. 23 TO SEPT. 4. FOR IOWA'S WOMEN AND CHIL DREN. One of the centers of attraction at the Iowa State Fair this year, to be held at Des Moines Aug. 29 to Sept. 4, will undoubtedly be the new building known as the Women and Children's building. It will be given over to those interests which particularly concern women and children and the home. It will also be a delightful place in which to rest and to leave the children, as there are rest rooms, a day nursery with trained nurses in charge, anasements for the children and every comfort. This will be the place where the babies' health contest will be held. There is a general auditorium in the building, which seats about 700 people, affording a delightful place for meetings. The building faces the west, having a frontage of 244 feet and a depth of 144 feet. The art exhibit will be there, as will also the model school exhibit, including the manual training and domestic science display. DRAFT HORSE FUTURITIES EXCITING. One of the most exciting days at the five stock pavilion during the Iowa State Fair last year was the one given over to the judging of draft horse futurities. A magnificent bunch of youngsters were in the ring. There was big money to be won, the stakes amounting to $4,000. There were honor and recognition for the winner. When the ribbons were finally placed there was a great demonstration of enthusiasm. The Percheron filly Couceouson, which carried off the honors in the Percheron division, was sold after the contest for $2,000. At this year's Fair, to be held Aug. 26 to Sept. 4 at Des Moines, there promises to be still greater interest in the futurity. A total of $4,000 is again being offered in premiums. "Some twenty years ago I used Chamberain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," writes Geo, W. Brock, publisher of the Enterprise, Aberdeen, Md. "I discovered that it is a quick and safe cure for diarrhoea. Since then no one can sell me anything said to be 'just as good.' During all these years I have used it and recommended it many times, and it has never disappointed anyone." For sale by all dealers. HEALTH HINTS. "I am resolved that no man shall drag me down by making me to hate him." If Booker Washington could inculcate this utterance into a million souls he would have justified his existence. So little do we realize the importance of our dealing with people. It is, in the last analysis, people, and the way they affect us that shall determine our condition on the last day — what ever that may mean to you. It is useless to talk of loving the heathen in Africa or China or analysis, people, and the way they affect us that shall determine our condition on the last day — what ever that may mean to you. It is useless to talk of loving the heathen in Africa or China or God in heaven and hating so many people on earth. The human soul is part of God and God is Love. Hate is the opposite of love; consequently the more of hatred you have the less your rapacity for love. The advent of hate into the soul is an injury that leaves a hideous scar and it continues to contract and disfigure. It is you, not the other fellow, who's hurt in your soul-destroying thoughts; for it is not possible to hate and think we would not kill—fear of punishmeit prevents many homicides. Every evil thought is a crime against yourself. You do no harm to the other fellow. He goes along in blissful ignorance of your soul-destroying tactics and you drag yourself down, into a pitilable, lamentable condition, and not only devilize your physical forces, but tie your soul to hell by invisible, but by no means indubual bounds. Hatred is death and love is life. It is love that makes the flowers that causes the sun to shine and the birds to sing. For it is the love of rain and dew that brings nourishment; it is the attraction and harmony of the planets that makes the sun hold to its course; it is the admiration of all these that causes the birds to swell their throats in song. Love attracts and hate repels. It is scientifically proven that hatred and the consequence, anger, fill the system with poison and cause not only indigestion and insomnia, and even paralysis, but other bad symptoms. Life is too short, the world is too full of beautiful and helpful things to allow anyone or anything to sully your soul by harmful tactics. It is to you that all the blessings will flow if you are in league with this mighty force; and no less important from you all will go if your heart is not filled with love. There are blessings that money cannot buy; there is a success above dollars; there is happiness that comes and settles on the soul when the soul is at peace and in harmony with the Author of life, which is Love. “I am resolved that no man shall drag me lown by making me to hate him.” WASHINGTON, IOWA, NOTES, (Continued from page 1) jeared everyone to her.
