E. Spingargh of New York City brought last night to 800 colored men and women and a sprinkling of white persons, the latter including Governor Clarke Attorney General Cosson, Casper Schenck and Harvey Ingham, a call for renewed courage in the struggle of the black race for political and economic equality and pleading for recognition by the white race of the Negro's rights. The meeting was held at the Corinthian Baptist church. Dr. Spingargh, who is a white man, the chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, laid chief stress on the three most vital and unjust evidences of racial inequality, as he termed them, disfranchisement, anti-intermarriage and segregation propaganda, and laws. Referring to the amendment to the immigration bill excluding the black race, he said: "That would have meant that a Negro doctor or a lawyer, or an educator, born and raised in this country, could not have crossed the suspension bridge at Niagara into Canada and then returned to his native land." Intermarriage Problem. The amendment was lost, the speaker pointed out, chiefly, if not entirely through the efforts of the Washington branch of the N. A. A. C. P., working through an awakened and united body of organized colored men and women. The speaker vigorously attacked the phase of the race question which has inspired the anti-intermarriage agitation, although admitting the difficulty of presenting the subject without danger of offense. The subject has timely significance in view of the bill which has been introduced in congress making it a crime for black and white persons to marry. "There is no legal intermarriage between the colored people and the white people now," he said, "Not one colored person out of a million wants to marry a white person." Here the speaker was interrupted by the biggest demonstration of applause with which his words had yet been greeted. "Why are they so anxious to stop legal marriages?" he continued. "The reason is simply this: To save white men from the consequences of any wrong they may do colored women." Attacks Segregation Propaganda. "There are some of us white men, men who have families, who do not intend to see without protest that colored girls receive less protection than our wives and daughters." The subject of segregation was forcibly handled by the speaker. He protested against herding the black race, the weaker race, within proscribed limits, where vice, disease and crime would be generated. Under this hindiliation with the incentive for struggle removed the progress the race has achieved through bitter struggle would cease and degeneration would follow, continued Mr. Spingarn. Disfranchisement, anti-intermarriage and segregation must be fought by agitation and political power, declared the speaker, in summing up. Attorney S. Joe Brown introduced Governor Clarke, who introduced Dr. Spingarn. Mr. Brown declared emphatically that the governor had done more for the progress of the colored race than any governor Iowa has ever had. The governor paid a tribute to the achievements of the colored race, and prophesied a time when every man would have equal opportunity with every other man. Preceding the main address and following the invocation, delivered by the Rev. M. W. Alexander, Miss Mildred Griffin, pianist, and the Metropolitan octette entertained with musical selections. At the conclusion of Dr. Spingarn's address the roll was opened and over a hundred persons, including Governor Clarke, Attorney General Cosson and Editor Harvey Ingham enrolled as members of the Des Moines branch of the national association.

Crawford—Do the rich know how the other half live? Crabshaw—After taking their money from them they must be able to form some idea of how they are compelled to live. —Punk AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- What shall be done with the Negro? This question is frequently asked and, but soldon given a rational, intelligent, satisfactory answer. Possibly it ought to be changed to read thus: What shall the Negro do with himself? Not a few Negroes are answering the question in this form and in very, satisfactory fashion, too. Instance, the Negroes who have been building up the town of Boley, Ola, and its surrounding location. There are successful and suggestive working out of the self-segregation ideas. It has been described and commented on by the Southern Workman; "Boley, Okla., is the largest Negro city in the United States. It is surrounded by some of the richest land in the world and has in its neighborhood most valuable mines of coal and wells of oil. Recently it was the scene of joyous activity when Dr. Booker T. Washington and some 400 delegates to the National Negro Business Association, through Okmglemei, Boynton and Clearview, where Negroes are succeeding in farming, in cattle raising, in mining, in the oil and gas fields and in storekeeping. "Boley was founded in 1904 by Thomas M. Hayes of Texas in the rolling prairie land on the Fort Smith & Western railroad between Deep Park and North Canadian rivers, and is in the heart of a vast region capable of producing such diversified alfalfa, apples, peaches, grapes, berries and the common garden vegetables. "This Negro town is making good. Today it has over eight business concerns, an electric lighting plant, efficient waterworks, two banks, several attractive churches, a high school worth over $15,000, a normal and industrial school supported by the C. M. E. church, flourishing fraternal orders, a school with a rediction worth $3,500, a telephone system, several cotton glus, a chamber of commerce, a city hall, a Negro station agent and a Negro newspaper. From 15,000 to 20,000 people live in the region surrounding Boley—3,000 are in the township of Boley and 1,300 are in the city of Boley. Here, then, is the beginning—really an excellent beginning—of a demonstration in Negro township of Boley watched closely by those who are interested in the Negro as a factor in business. The people of Boley, all of whom are Negroes, have shown rare pluck in going into a new country and doing together what most people said Negroes never could do—exercise initiative and judgment in building up business enterprises apart from white men. They have won their present success by making their lot one with the man on the farm. "Boley is in many ways a substantial evidence of the ambition, thrift and capacity of the Negro who takes life more seriously than the average man of the race and is not interfered with by whisely friends or out-and-out enemies Boley reflects credit on Mr. Haynes and his coworkers. It gives promise of great things, a better man than young, dubbing Negroes, especially Negroes, who are dissatisfied with their lot and are ignorant of what the South and the Southwest offer in golden opportunities for the sofer, hard-work- The Negro Year Book, 1914-1915, has just been issued from the Tuskegee institute, Alabama, Monroe N. Work, editor, and is a more thorough compendium of vital information than ever before, not only to persons of the race, but all students of the life and growth of that race, and all who wish to be informed in regard to a people which has had amazing growth in numbers and in all material and intellectual development, in unanticipation from slavery hardly more than half a century ago, the present issue of 448 pages is about 70 pages larger than the last previous issue. Another interesting publication is "The Crisis, a Record of the Darker Rarses," published weekly at 70 Fifth avenue, New York city. In both publications the question of race segregation is discussed at some length. The warden of a Georgia prison has been puzzled by an order to give one of his prisoners a ten days' allowance on his sentence. As the sentence is for life the order is difficult to carry out. Alien law may bar a red-headed man, but it won't bar a red-headed woman. The earning capacity of a woman determines her right to vote in Norway. Success is always due more to the ability to stand the bumps than anything else. As a rule the self-appointed censor of other people's morals has a busy time of it. Public employment bureaus are maintained by the government in Sweden. United States exports in the last fiscal year exceeded $100,000,000 in value.

"What the future of Boley will be depends not only on the men and women who have planted a thriving city in a rough country, but also upon the Negroes who are trained (and will be trained within the next few years) for leadership in education, business and public health, as well as in industry and law." Dr. Washington's visit to Boley, his words of encouragement and advice, together with his vital relation to problems of race adjustment, give the demonstration in big business for the Negro more than passing significance." I am sure that it will prove both interesting and educative to many of your readers to have laid before them certain statistics of church work among the colored race, and gleaned from the recently issued Living Church Amendments and Church Man-Advance for 1915, writes George F. Bragg, Jr., in a communication to the Living Church. The combined colored communicant lists in the entire states of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas amount to just 266 more communicants than are reported by the single colored parish of St. Phillip's church, New York. It would certainly seem that the church needs the "Racial Episcopate," not matching the presumed bromeliad results that the machinery we have tried for a whole half century. Here is the real thing which tests the catholicity of the church. Steps taken to improve facilities for the education of the Negro are summarized in an installment just made public of the forthcoming report of the general educational board. Assistance is shown to have been given what the board alludes to as some of the more efficient of the industrial training schools as follows: University of Georgia, $198,912; other institutions, $55,384, making a total of approximately $558,780. To provide for higher education of Negroes, contributions have been made to colleges and universities as follows: Atlanta Baptist college, $5,000; Atlanta university, $8,000; Fisk university, $70,000; Lane college, $7,000; Leland university, $2,000; Livingstone college, $12,500; Mines Memorial college, $5,000; Paine college, $5,000; Virginia Union university, $11,500, total, $144,000. That the men of the Negro race are strongly averse to taking their own lives as a way out of this world of woe is proved most conclusively by the suicide and attempted suicide records Houston for the past five months. Bichloride of mercury tablets have fascination for him and all other forms of poison are classed in the "don't touch" list. On the other hand, the women of the Negro race are not so prone to take solace in the carbolic acid bottle as are the women of the white race, and in following the statistics still further it is shown by the records that there are fewer attempts at suicide by women of the white race than by men. —Houston (Tex.)

Improvements in the "Popular Tit-Bil Known as the "Club" Have Been Made—Oysters Used in Place of Chicken. Tea rooms in the big city shopping districts are serving some new var- ities of the always popular club sand- wich. While the principal ingredi- ents remain the same each type of club sandwich differs from its fellows in detail which makes it distractive. What is known as a French club sandwich is served with a toasted English muffin, substituted for the usual slices, oats, toasted bread. It is set down before one garnished with a few sprays of parsley pressed deep into the yielding surface of the half muffin which tops the substantial filling of chicken, bacon, mayonnaise, lettuce and sliced tomato. Watercress is used in similar fashion, the spray of green in either case being embedded in the toasted muffin so firmly that it seems to be a little flower holder. Two halves of crumpet are used for a similar sandwich and filled with the same combination, making a sandwich still more hearty. Where toasted bread is used variety is given to the club sandwich by reason of some other meat or fish being substituted for the usual foundation layer of breast of chicken. Thinly sliced duck is delicious with the bacon and other ingredients, and turkey is also another good substitute. Strips of rare beef, either cold or freshly cut from a hot roast and moistened with horseradish may also be used, and strips of rare steak are equally appropriate. An oyster club sandwich has for its filling two large two or three large fried oysters. These are laid on the under slice of toast, sprinkled with lemon juice and then topped with two strips of bacon, two lettuce leaves, a spoonful of mayonnaise and then the second slice of toast. For those who do not care for fried oysters the oyster club sandwich comes in still a different form, the oysters be poached in their own liquor until the gills curl, when they are drained of moisture and used for the foundation of the sandwich. If preferred oyster club sandwich may be served with Russian dressing instead of mayonnaise, as the addition of the tomato flavor in the chili sauce is particularly agreeable with oysters, either fried or poached. Sardine club sandwich is made of large boned sardines sprinkled with lemon juice and arranged as usual and finally cut lobster, either hot or cold, offers still another variety. The oysters are usually served with a basis of an egg fried on both sides, and seasoned well with salt, pepper and paprika before the other materials for the sandwich are added. Hard-bolled eggs, sliced or chopped, result in a sandwich less rich. In both cases the eggs should be served hot. Economy Helps. In most households greater economy of time and energy can be practiced by cooking larger amounts of food at one time, and this means a saving in the fuel bills as well. Enough mayonnaise dressing for all the salads you will make in a week can be made on one day. It is just as easy to cook a kettleful of potatoes that will last two days as it is to prepare only enough for the midday meal. There is hardly a vegetable one can think of that cannot be cooked in large quantities to advantage and that will not lend itself readily to warming over in a variety of ways. And on days when the oven is being used dishes in which the vegetables play an important part, double portions of puddings should be baked. What is not required that day can be served a few days later, steamed over the vegetable pot, and it will be just as appetizing, if not more so, as if freshly made. Fig and Nut Jelly. Wash a cupful of pulled figs in cold water. Over a过水 fire with two cupfuls of cold water and stew figs until tender. Skim out figs and to the juice add one-half cupful of sugar and boil until it is like thin slurp (there should be one cupful of liquid). Chop figs and one-quarter cupful of shelled pecans not very fine. Soak one-half box of gelatin in one cupful of cold water for half an hour. To the gelatin add one-half teaspoonful of lemon juice and to the fig syrup add one-half cupful of boiling water. Strrain through fine sieve of cheesecloth. When nearly set add nuts and figs. Turn into molds and set in cool place for three hours. Serve with whipped cream. Scotch Broth Without Meat Soak four ounces barley in one quart cold water over night; next morning drain, put into a pot kettle with one onion, one turnip and one carrot, cut into slices; add a few green tops of celery; if obtainable and four tablespoons of oatmeal; cover with two quarts boiling water and simmer gently a half hour, then add salt and pepper; strain and serve. Fruit Cream Cook the juice of three lemons and three oranges with two cupfuls of sugar, set aside to cool. Soften two tablespoons of gelatin with milk, then heat over water until dissolved. Whip two cupfuls of cream, add the fruit juice and gelatin, stir until well blended, then pile high in a deep dish or mold if preferred. Steamed Dried Beef Here is an unusual recipe, but a very good one. Prepare a spiced vinegar as for fruit pickles, only less highly seasoned. Cut very, very thin slices of dried beef in narrow strips, diamond or any fancy shape, and cut with acids or vinegar. Serve hot in the vinegar for one hour. Serve hot with toasted wafer. Fundamental Principles of Health By ALBERT S. GRAY, M. D. MOTHER'S MILK. It is universally conceded that the most carefully bottle-fed infant has a smaller chance of escaping trouble and achieving health and life than a breast-fed baby of the most ignorant and stenoy mother. Of course, when the child's artificial food is prepared and given by an intelligent person under competent advice, the baby may get through with a minimum of discomfort and danger from digestive disorders arising from bacterial contamination of its food from unclean cans, bottles, spoons, nipples, tubes and other utensils, devices and attachments intervening between the cow or the factory and its mouth; but granting that all sources of food are overcome, there still will remain the absence of an automatically adjusting physiological food supply, which no other than the human animal can furnish. In composition milk is highly complex and variable. The important constituents are the fats, held in emulsion as minute oil droplets; casein, a nuco-albumen which clots under the influence of renin; milk albumen or lactalbumen; a proted resembling serum album; lactoglobulin; lactose or milk sugar; lecithin, cholesterin, phosphoenic acid, urea, citric acid, enzymes and mineral salts. The minimum quantities of milk comply with appreciable quantities of sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and choline, hesides probably minute quantities of other elements not yet determined. By reason of the fact that casein and milk sugar do not exist in the blood it is held that they are formed by the secretory metabolism of the gland cell under the action of a hormone (stimulating property). And the composition of the milk fat and the histological appearance of the gland cells during secretion leads to the view that the fat is also constructed in the gland cells by the action of called attention to the fact that the inorganic salts of milk differ quantitatively from those in the blood plasma and resemble closely the proportions found in the body of the young animal, thus indicating an adaptive secretion. The casein of human milk is smaller in amount, curdles in looser flocks than cow's milk and seems to dissolve more easily and completely in gastric juice. Human milk also contains relatively more lecithin and less ash, while cow's milk contains less sugar and fat. Human milk, in short, is a complex compound no factory can even approximate to any appreciable degree. Experience by poultry raisers proves artificial brooding to be lamentably inefficient; the best kerosene lamp, assisted by the most earnest human effort, making but a pittable showing compared with the average results achieved by a sturdy old hen—and bottle fed babies are about at par with brooder chicks. The absence of normal building materials and the foundations of life are being laid insures a handicap the organism must carry all through life; hence every mother should recognize the ethical and racial obligations she is under to keep up a supply of milk through the period of normal lactation. This brings up the question of how a poor or deficient supply of mother's milk may be increased or bettered and how it may be maintained through the period of lactation. Generally the physician is not consulted about the matter until a short time before the baby is expected, and then the best he can do is to recommend a nourishing diet. It is highly suggestive in this connection to note that practically every such recommendation includes some form of malt extract, and that malt extract will allure all pretary compounds claiming to be good for nursing mothers are founded on malt. Experience proves that nothing appears more quickly to promote the secretion of milk than good malt extracts and many brands possessing various degrees of merit and grades of nutritive value are to be found in the market. But at best such emergency measures and the attempt to force things in this manner are not likely to give either satisfactory or lasting results because it is not entirely a question of food; there is a psychological, a purely mental side to it as well. The experience of dairymen proves that it makes little difference what food is given a cow; the quality of the milk, so far as the fat content is concerned, will remain the same. Quality is inherent and essentially a matter of type and of breeding, but quantity can be developed. A cow will be born to give milk containing, for example, four ounces of milk, and she will continue to give four cent milk under all conditions, be the quantity much or little. An abundance of food and water coupled with kind treatment increases the quantity of milk given, but it will not influence the quality; that will remain steadfastly at four per cent fat. The cow is generally believed to be the most placid, calm and docile of animals; nevertheless she is highly sensitive to handling and under identical conditions of food and stabling one milker may be able to secure nearly double the quantity of milk from the same cow that another milker will produce, the difference in the results depending on the bond of sympathy established between the animal and the milker. Good food and equanimity then, are essential factors to an abundant milk supply. Inasmuch as all animal life it is subject to the same laws it is reasonable to assume that, as the human being is more intellectual than the cow, mental irritation and anxiety may exert proportionately even a greater influence on the human milk secretion. But however that may be, obviously the full action of these two factors will not be attained by telephone conversations' or by means of a written order on a drug store; on the contrary results can be expected only from a careful, comprehensive preparation and training on the part of the mother. The absence of this training in the individual home constitutes one of the fundamental weaknesses in our civilization and is, to no small degree, responsible for our weaklings and the serious problems of intemperance and social unrest now confronting us. MALT AND MILK. It is perfectly obvious that the ultimate source of milk in all mammals must rest on the food intake. Consequently, wherever a mother suffering from a deficient milk supply seeks, from those qualified to advise, information as to how she may correct the unfortunate condition, she is invariably recommended to use a more nutritious diet. In other words, she is informed indirectly that the food she has habitually used is deficient in some important particular. Almost without exception, the diet recommended to a mother includes some form of malt. The word malt is believed to be derived from a Sanskrit word mean soft, and having a reference to the fact that malt is raw grain malt soft or tender by a process in which germination is caused to proceed to a certain stage and is then controlled and checked by the gradual removal of the water and finally completely arrested by drying through the application of heat in kilos. During this limited germination enzymes are developed and the constituents of the grain are so modified that the finished malt differs from the original raw grain in that the greater portion is split into simpler compounds that more easily dissolve. An enzyme is a complex organic substance, or an unorganized or chemically formed substance, by catalysis the action the transformation, splitting up or digestion of other compounds. The changes effected by the partial germination and subsequent treatment of the grain are chiefly the conversion of the nitrogenous substances into diastase, the conversion of the starch into grape sugar by the action of the diastase, and the imparting of color and flavor to the malt in the kiln. Diastase is an enzyme of great physiological importance in that it is capable of converting starch and glycerol into maltose (malt digestion). It occurs in germinating seeds, in the leaves and in other parts of plants and in various animal secretions, such as the saliva and the pancreatic juice. A very common medical preparation in the form of a sirup of about the consistency of a heavy molasses is made by digesting sprouting malt in water, expressing the solution, precipitating it with alcohol and drying the precipitate. This precipitate is simply an impure diastase, but under various proprietary names and combinations it is very generally used as a tonic in case of malnutrition, and an adjunct to the malnutrition marked with defective starch digestion, generally known as "intestinal indigestion." Two new words have recently been added to our vocabulary—"hormones," by Starling in 1906, and "vitamines," by Funk in 1912. Investigations conducted since 1889 have fully demonstrated that some of our ductless glands play a role of vast importance in general nutrition, and this knowledge has proved very useful in widening our conception of the nutritional relations in the body. The conception that catered to chemical products which on entering the circulation influence the activity of one or more other organs is finding application in the study of the digestive secretions. The gastric and pancreatic "secrections" are regarded as examples of internal secretions. Chemical products of this kind which stimulate the activity of special organs are what Starling designates hormones. These internal secretions from ten or twelve kinds of ductless glands are known to exert a profound influence on our body in general. Starling advanced the theory that this was the primitive method by which the complex body was originally co-ordinated and regulated, the nervous system being of later development. However this may be, at the present time it is established beyond any question that both methods are in force in all mammal bodies—the ductless glands are the "bosses" of our bodies. Following a long series of investigations into the causes of beri-beri and similar diseases, Funk in 1912 isolated some highly complex nitrogenous bodies from the grindings from rice, from seeds, whole grains, raw milk, fresh meat, yeast, fresh fruit juices, the yolk of egg and the like. Because these compounds were nitrogenous and proved to be absolutely essential to organic life—the absence of them is demonstrated to be the cause of death from polyneuritis—Funk named them "vitamines." The vitamines are soluble in water and are destroyed by exposure for ten to twenty minutes to a temperature of 248 to 260 degrees Fahrenheit and by extreme dryness. So far as is known, animals are incapable of making vitamins; normally they are found in plants, and especially in their seeds and in animals that eat fresh vegetable matter containing vitamins. Funk and animals are the mother substance of ferments and the source of vital importance to the thyroid and other ductless glands; consequently, they are fundamentally the regulators of the general co-ordination of our bodies. Obviously this all points to a reason for the effectiveness of malt on milk secretion and opens wide the question of nutrition in general. Exhibition of Crude Old Surgical Instruments. Modern Scientists Amused at Fossils of Ancient Learning and Superstition—Some Rare Medical Volumes Also Shown. Like a museum of geology of the medical profession was the exhibit of rare old tomes and crude surgical instruments which was held by the Missouri Historical society, assisted by the St. Louis Medical society. Digging down into forgotten strats of medical evolution, the exhibitors examined a throng of fossils of ancient M Ancient Surgical Instruments. learning and superstition—as quaint to the eye of modern science, with its germ theory of disease, aseptic surgery and X-ray, as is a fint arrowhead crew of a 42-centimeter howitzer. The exhibits came from the libraries of the medical schools of St Louis and Washington universities; from the library of the surgeon general of the United States army in Washington, and from the private collections of physicians in St. Louis and other cities. Dr. George Dock, dean of the medical faculty of Washington university, supplied a facsimile of the diploma conferring a doctor's degree upon William Harvey, who discovered the circulation of the blood. Dr. James Moore, dean of St Louis, among students of other old volumes, named "Surgical Works" of Ambrose Pare, the Frenchman who haunted the wars of his time (1609-1800) and became the father of military surgery. A copy of "the first work on pathology," published at Venice in 1761 by Johannes Baptista-Morgani and entitled "Concerning the Seats and Causes of Disease," was loaned by Dr. Robert E. Schlueter of St. Louis. Among the hundreds of other "quaint and curious volumes of forgotten lore" which were on display were a "Regimen Sanitatis," published in Venice in 1495, three years after the discovery of America, and loaned by Dr. E. C. Streater of Boston; the "Labyrinth of Medical Errors," published in 1553 by the renowned Theophrastus Paracelsus; the complete "Thesaurus Botanico-Medico-Anatomic" of Marcellus Magephius, published in 1687, and Thomas Guldbott "On -ye Bathe," a treatise concerning the medical qualities of the waters at that resort, which was issued in 1676. The War's Historian "When the history of the war comes to be written" is a constantly recurring journalistic phrase, as if the story of this great conflict could ever be written. You may be fairly certain that no one under the rank of an archangel, in close touch with omniscience, will ever write the full history of the world war. Down below there isn't the knowledge, and there isn't the power. It will be some sectional accounts. But if the following a world syndicate succeeds in getting many million tons of print within covers, the public will (one hopes) be thinking of something else—London Chronicle.

A ton of average hardwood ashes contains 100 pounds of potash, 32 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 640 pounds of lime, or about one-third of the latter. Tree trimming run 100, 50 and 375 pounds, respectively. Weeds will doubtless average about the yield for hay and straw or 20, 20 and 100. Coal ashes are practically less as fertilizer, but improve the physical condition of close or sticky soils. Average coal manure contains about one-tenth as much potash as do hardwood ashes.

Idea Has Been Seriously Put Forth and is Being Considered by Pow- ers at War—its Method of Operation As for a French officer's suggestion of moving ships, an American has already invented one and has writ- about it to the heads of the bollig- ent governments. He offers to dem- scribe the efficiency of his device. The "bullet deflector" as he calls it, is made of two sheets of steel feet wide, eight to ten feet high and one-quarter-inch thick. The sheets are jointed at an acute angle, so as to make a triangular shield, the base of which is open. The device, which weighs 1,200 pounds, is mounted on wheels and can be framed along by the ten men it can shelter. At a suit- able height are holes through which rifles can be aimed. It has compa- ments for water and food, and a top to protect its occupants from sun and rain and shrapnel. It can be used, he thinks, to great advantage in infantry advances when the supporting artillery has cleared the way, as the attackers would be safe from rifle fire until they got close enough to charge with the bayonet if they desired. He says that a bullet stiking one of the faces of the barbette would glance off harmlessly, and that it would be impervious to machine-gun fire. For defense he thinks a cavalry charge of a bayonet charge would be self-defense against a wall of steel. Folding shelves could be put into it, and they would make bunks for the crew. On the march it could be drawn by cavalry horses. Its cost would be relatively small. "I would consider one soldier equipped with the deflector," he says, "of more service to his country and his cause than 50 not so protected, for the simple reason that he can operate all the time during a long campaign in a hundred battles while the 50 are dead in the trenches. I am aware that many objections will be made to its use in battle, all of which I can easily answer. Its advantage over the stationary defences, such as sandbags and barricades, would be many.

Equal weights of dry, nonresinous wood are said to have practically the same heat regardless of species, and as a consequence it can be stated as a general proposition that the heavier the wood the more heat to the cord. Weight for weight, however, there is very little difference between various species; the average heat for all that have been calculated is 4,600 calories, or heat units, per kilogram. A kilogram of resin will develop 9,400 heat units, or about twice the average for wood. As a consequence, resinous woods have a greater heat value per pound than nonresinous woods, and this increased value varies, of course, with the resin content. Had Eight Sets of Twins Squire Robert L. Mitchell, who visited his old home near Ridgeville recently, brought back a bit of rare news. The wife of West Graves, a negro of that section, has just presented her husband with the eighth conscientive set of twins. The young couple have been married about thirteen years, the knot having been tied by Squire Mitchell when he was, a justice of the peace. A remarkable circumstance thereof is the fact that in each set of twins was a boy and a girl. There are eight children living, one of each set having died—Caswell (N. C.)

LauraJeanLibbeu's Talks on Heart Topics Give me but Someone wharunto I may, blind my heart. Something to love, to rest upon, to clasp Affection's tandrils round. "Who is she?" That's the question every anxious mother asks her son when she hears he has a sweet- heart. Then follows a torrent of questions which the young man ends it difficult to stem. "Do you know who her parents are?" questions the mother. "Where does she live?" "How old is she?" "Who introduced you to her?" "How often have you called on her?" "Were her folks impressed with you." "Is she one ```markdown ``` of those dance-mad girls, or is she the kind who can make herself useful in the kitchen as well as play on the piano in the parlor? "is she a girl who powders and rouges, or is she sensible enough to be pleased with the complexion nature gave her?" "is she a girl or a modest maiden?" "is she of the sort that you could with pride bring home to me, or one of the kind that you would rather I wouldn't see or meet right up to the wedding day?" The average young man laughs at his mother's solicitude and tries to evade answering. But when he is corered, if he admits that she is a pretty girl, employed either in office, or shop, he don't know which, and was introduced to her by a girl friend of hers; that she hasn't a home of her own, but is sheltered by a boarding house roof; that she is most modest as well as the sweetest girl in the world, instead of being relieved by the young man's last remark the mother oftimes goes off into hysterics. "I don't know any more now than I did before," gags. the twin head of her, I shall never rest until I find out all about her." Any young man will protest vigorously about his mother interfering in his love affairs, no matter how fond she is of her boy. He bravely declares that as long as he loves the girl, and she cares for him, that's all that's necessary. He does not concern her; that, although she is concerned her; that, although she is and her plain-clothes do not correspond with her sweet face, she has an honest heart and an unsullied reputation, a girl whom he can trust; that she is not running around in inquiring who he is—whether or no his father was a shoemaker or a railroad magnate in his early life; if his mother was a milliner's apprentice when she was young. All that she asked when he proposed that they keep company was if he had good habits, a steady position and whether or no he was a trifter, wanting to take up her time with no serious intentions—infatuated with her, not with one tomorrow. She added that she was good working girl, honest, and frankly asked not to be deceived by a declaration of deep interest in her unless it came from the heart. It is not every girl who is brave enough to face an anxious, keen-eyed mother of a son, lest she break up a sweet love dream. Nine times out of ten mothers can trust their son's judgement in selecting a wife whom they can be happy with. Girl who have invariably turned out to be the most lovable of wives. Judgement should never be rendered too hastily. IF HE WERE WHAT HIS SISTERS THOUGHT HIM. Yes, hold me, beloved! I feel your control; But my wayward soul, Takes wings, feet and strong, If you hold me too long. One brother midst a household of girls, unless he is an extra level-headed young fellow, is sure to be hopelessly spoiled before he gets out of knickerbockers. The spoiling goes on up to the time he is a man grown. He is looked upon by the family as the flower of the flock; the brainiest and most sensible of young men. They are anxious as to the time he may fall in love, believing that there are few, if any, girls who are quite good enough for him. They will not allow cider on their table lest he might acquire a taste for it, which might lead on to other beverages stronger and more harmful. The girls bring to the house only Sunday school scholars as friends least he be brought in contact with a maid who would have fun and frolic instead of being serious. The girls hide from their brother the fact that each had a night key lest he would be horrified at the knowledge. The sisters were never out later than ten o'clock, attending prayer meeting, singing school, or perchance a quilting bee. Brother often reached home in the wee saun' hours. How the family pitied him when he exploded at breakfast, he knew he was looking at the books at the request of damn! It happened so often that father, knowing something of the world himself, looked across the table, dubiously, at his son. The mother was indignant at the way they piled work on the poor soul; his face was so male and his eyes so heavy. His sisters openly declared that father should put him in business for himself; that they would be perfectly willing to make their shares over to him. He had come home minus his watch and chain. The grief of his sisters was great when he confessed that some of the light-fingered gentry must have purlined them. He couldn't tell for the life of him how he had lost it. The girl found cloak, and cardamom seeds scattered about the top of his dresser. He accounted for these by remarking that the street gamins had made him the victim of their putty blowers. His clothes were muddy, his hat dented. His sisters believed in him implicitly when he told, reluctantly, that he had slipped in attempting to scavort an organ-grinder from one pavement to the other. As for the coupons of the French ball found in his pocket as he drew out his handkerchief he was puzzled to know how they arrived, was the jolly chap who sat next to him in the crowded street car to have tucked them in his yawning pocket to get rid of them. Such a brother can go a long way before he is found out. It is usually some cast-off sweetheart who opens the family's eyes, just to get even with him; pulls the little god down from his pedestal to get even with him, as it were. Many a fellow has rooted out his bad habits just to become the honorable brother his dear sisters thought him. LONELY HEARTHS AND HEARTS. I hold it true whatever'er befall. I feel it time when I sorrowmost. The better to have loved and lost. The more to have loved at all. Every one thinks the single man must have a happy life of it. They argue that he must be contented or he would change his state of single blessedness. The scale of their pity is tipped in bacha. They like to consider that he is useful. In the case of a widow, they know that he has entered into matrimony and therefore he knows how to win a woman's heart. If he remains single, it is because he will not put anyone in the dear departed's place. The truth is that the bachelor is not deserving of such sympathy. He will go through the world until he finds one who appeals to him. The older he gets the younger he wants the girl to be with whom he shall fall in love. The widower's home has been so different that it is with much difficulty he can submit himself to the change He has been used to have a presiding helpmeet, a loving face close to his own when he needed someone to cling to, one nearer and dearer yet than all others when he was in need of someone to confide in. Bereft of his treasure, he has no heart to make himself agreeable to those who have little or no interest in him for himself alone. The years that have gone before have domesticated him. He appreciates the comfort of his own hearth. He tries to make himself believe that he is happy in the companionship of his brave sons and sweet daughters. They love him dearly, but it is heaven's plan that they shall woo and be loved, turning their hearts bravely to other loves. The sons wed and the girls marry. When the last bird has futtered away from the home nest, he begins to realize fully, and for the first time, that he is desperately lonely. His housekeeper may be very good, but she has her own interest elsewhere. Servants come and go. Where can he look for a dependable home staff? He realizes that he does not grow younger and more active with the years. He knows then that he can expect only a fireside companion in a wife. The world and his wife are shocked when he weds again. But they would not be if they studied the conditions of his lonely life and realized that the only path that showed a bright star to light his way was that which led to marriability. A man who has once loved, tenderly and well, is never happy away from a faithful woman's gentle influence. Neither the bachelor nor the widower should be influenced into living a lonely life. Happiness in this world is brief. Each day should be measured by its joys, not by its grils. There is no hearth so lonely but that a woman's presence can brighten it. There's no heart so dusty and untenable with the cobwebs of years about it but that some one woman can make it habitable again. Life can be happy or adjusted as a man wills it. TELLS OF ANCIENT AMERICA Dr. Herbert Spinden, Back From Yucatan, Describes Rains of Mexico From Yucatan and the jungles of Central America Dr. Herbert J. Spinden of the Museum of Natural History, has returned with archeological and chronological collections and drawings and studies of the art of the Maya country of great value to the museum. Doctor Spinden traveled about fifteen hundred miles through the jungles and spent six months exploring. At Bellie Doctor Spinden was joined by S. G. Morley of the Carnegie institution, Washington, and the two traveled to Flores, on a picture-queen island in Lake Peten, where Doctor Spinden made his headquarters for an expedition to the ancient cities of the Maya Indians. The population today is 5,000, but about A. D. 600 the region had about 500,000 people. The country is now virgin forest. "An interesting question has been raised, says Doctor Spinden, "as to whether the decrease of population has been caused by climatic changes. There are seven cities of the first class in this region, the greatest; and most famous being Tikal. It is in the heart of the jungle, and the ruins extend over a square league." Among the features are enormous terraces and pyramids. The cities were laid with plazas and monuments. On the sculpture, monuments are elaborately costumed warriors, while other bear dates of interest to the student of Maya history. "The great temples have enormous roof structures, and the broad lintels are made from slabs of a very hard and permanent wood called chilcoapote. These lintels are carved with priests and altars and sacrifices, and although placed in position about A. D. 500, many are still in perfect preservation." Dr. Marden's Uplift Talks BY ORISON SWETT MARDEN. Copyright by McClure Newspaper Grinding PICKING UP KNOWLEDGE BY THE WAY. I often receive letters from young people complaining that it is impossible for college because they have to work, and therefore have no opportunity to acquire an education. Did you ever stop to think my complaining friends, that a great many of the most prominent men of today have been self-educated? I do not mean that they have worked their way through school or college, but that they have actually gained an education in its; widest and best sense by their own efforts, with little or no actual schooling. Thomas A. Edison had only a few months' regular schooling for his parents were poor, and at twelve years of age he had to earn his own living. But he began reading "solid books" very early. When only ten he was absorbed in Gibbons "Rome" and Hume's "England," and had already read the biographies of many great and noble men. Andrew Carnegie had only an elementary school education, but by reading and studying in his leisure moments he acquired the culture that has fruited in several books and many magazine articles on topics of worldwide interest, to say nothing of his business achievements. Prof. William J. McGee, who recently left the United States bureau of ethnology, later remarkable geologist and archaeologist, achieved a blackburn in Iowa when he began to study geology, the higher mathematics and languages. He was chief of the department of ethnology at the Louisiana Purchase exposition. He is now editor of the National Geographical Magazine. You who complain that you have no opportunity to get an education, read the lives of men who have lifted themselves into place and power by self-education, biographies like that of Franklin, Lincoln, of Vice-President Marshall, men who from the direst poverty, by sheer force of their own will power, have lifted themselves into the highest stations of life. Did it ever occur to you that you are right now in the greatest of all universities, the university of all life, your life, your life, every day from whom you can learn something valuable, no matter how humble they may be? If you are ambitious you can absorb knowledge every moment of your life; every piece of work you do, every human being you meet is a study for you. If the young people who long for knowledge and think they are deprived of it because of their unfortunate position as wage-earners could only realize that a marvelous opportunity is theirs to drink in wisdom at every breath, to absorb invaluable knowledge through their very pores. The results of all the schools, of all the colleges and universities of the past are spread out here before our eyes in the civilization that now is. There never, was such a time for gaining an education as the present. To the busy worker our free public libraries, art galleries and museums, which are now opening their doors to evening visitors, offer splendid advantage for picking up knowledge. The greatest characters in history have been noted for their perpetual self-improvement habits; they were always absorbing knowledge, power, from their experiences and surroundings, treasuring up gems of thought, valuable deductions. It does not matter what your occupation may be, determine that every day, no matter how busy you may be, you will add a little something to your general improvement, you will absorb something that will make you a little larger, fuller, broader man or woman. Keep your eyes and ears and your mind open and you will be astonished at the number of useful things you will learn every day. If you want to improve yourself form the habit of carrying a pad or notebook and pencil and jot down things you would like to be able to remember. You will be surprised to see how much you will gain in this way in a single year. You will be asking what the passion for self-improvement, the determination to get an education, will do for one in the course of a few years. MOST PEOPLE THEIR OWN WORST ENEMIES. This is John Wanamaker's recent advice to men: "Don't be blu. If I only thought of my mistakes I would be miserable all the time." Many a once prosperous man has gone down in financial ruin because he dwelt so much on his mistakes and gave way to discouragement and the blues. The so-called "hard times" which we have been passing through and which have distressed business men for many months were not so much due to the actual financial condition of the country as to the mental condition of the people. I have in mind a man who suffers Applying the old saw. Father--You talk altogether too much should cultivate the art of listening. Wille--But you told me the other day that listeners heard no good of themselves. Her Dream Comes True. Mrs. Golightly--What do you think, my dear? Such luck! We leave for Paris in an hour! Chandi--Really! IOWA STATE BYSTANDER so terribly from "blue" fits that his whole appearance is completely changed while under their influence. He does not look like the same man. He is absolutely unfit to attend to business, and even his best friends try to avoid him. His whole appearance is that of utter despair, of intense mental suffering. You would think by his expression that he was bearing on his shoulders all the troubles of mankind. It is difficult to smile or feel sorrow in his eyes to make him enthousiasiety joyful you may be, his icy expression and discouraging conversation, his doubts, and pessimism, chill you. Every time I go near him I feel as though I were running out of the sunshine into a dungeon. Isn't it pathetic to see a strong, vigorous man, made to be a giant among the forces of the world, cowering, the object slave of mental clouds which cast dark shadows over his life? Think of a man capable of leading hundreds or thousands of employees in a great enterprise—a man of achievement, born to do great things—the victim of the "blues," in the clutch of mental demons which he ought to be able to throttle in five minutes! Think of the life force wasted every time he talks of failure, of hard luck, of troubles and trials, of past errors and mistakes! There is no place in civilization for the morose, gloomy or dependent man. Nobody wants to live with him or do business with him. Everybody is dejected and depressed in his presence and tries to get away from him. When you look at it squerely it is a very foolish, almost criminal thing to go about this beautiful world, crowded with things to delight and cheer us, with splendid opportunities, showing a sad, dejected face, as though life had been a disappointment instead of a priceless boon. Just say to yourself, "I am a man and am going to do the work of a man. It's right up to me and I'm going to face the situation." No one is capable of correct judgment, of using good sense, when there is fear or doubt or despondency in his mind. Discouragement colors the judgment. People will do all sorts of foolish things under the pressure of fear. I have known men who own their own homes to sell property or do the most ridiculous things, in order to raise money, because they were afraid they would come to grief in their business if they did not have it, when, as a matter of fact, there was no real cause for anxiety whatever. You are at your wits' end and do not know which way to turn, you are in danger, for you are in no condition to plan anything to do the best thing. You should do your planning when you are cool and calm. Most people are their own worst enemies. We are all the time "queering" our life game by our vicious, bearing down thoughts and unfortunate moods. Everything depends upon our courage, our faith in ourselves and others, and in our holding a hopeful, optimistic outlook. When you are low-spirited and feel the "blues" getting a grip upon you, just stop whatever you are doing and make a business of driving these enemies out of your mind, neutralizing them, killing them, by their opposite suggestions. You know perfectly well that a cheater will do anything difficult it may be for you to hold it when you are suffering, will soon bring you relief. Assume the cheerful, hopeful virtue, if you have it not, and it will soon be yours. Among the Highbrows A famous baseball man is a profile story-teller, and oftentimes his yarns are the source of amusement to his friends. Here is one of his new ones: "A friend of mine; a metropolitan merchant, who had amassed quite a fortune by close application to his business, was being entertained one evening at a friend's house, where he encountered a number of young woman graduates, whose conversation suddenly turned to a discussion of the development of the English novel, a feeling within which told him that he was out of it." After a few minutes of animated colloquy, during a brief respite, one of the young women turned to him sweetly and asked: "What do you think of Fielding, Mr. Ellis?" "Oh, fielding is important, of course, our friend quickly responded, but it isn't worth much unless you've got good pitchers and who can hit the ball."—Harper's Magazine. Oldest Old Oaken Bucket. Gardens in Palestine are found mally in the environs of the larger towns and owe their existence to springs and fountains whose se precious waters give life to the fruits and flowers, orchards, parks and landscapes grounds which enter into the oriental conception of Paradise. Where no running stream exists they depend for life upon capacious cisterns which "drink water from the rain of heaven." They are always carefully inclosed and protected by hedges, walls and ditches, and the traveler is surprised amid the heat and glare of the Syrian sun to enter their pleasant' pathways and find retired and shady nooks under embowering greenery. Their secluded recesses have always been a favorite resort for purposes of devotion. They are often the gathering place of families and friends and the token of peace and security is when a man may sit in safety under hims own vine tree—Christian Herald. Pasteur's.

Creamed Carrots. — Scrape and wash the carrots, cut in thin slices crosswise; boll in salted water until tender, drain off the water, cover with sweet milk, add salt to taste and a small piece of butter.

Bake slowly in one crust like squash pie. **Carrot Preserve.**—Boll the carrots until tender; peel and slice them and to each pound add one pound of granulated sugar and one half cupful of water; flavor with lemon. Simmer slowly until rich and thick, then seal. **Carrot Marmalade.**—Boll the carrots until perfectly tender, then mash to a fine smooth pulp, and to each pound allow one pound of sugar, six almonds, the grated rind of one lemon and the juice of two and a few drops of almond flavor.

DAINTY BASKET OF MACARONI For the Luncheon Table or the After noon Tea This is a Delicious Confection. Take two cupfuls sugar, one cupful boiling water and one-eighth teaspoonful cream of tartar. Put ingredients in a smooth saucepan, stir, place on range and heat to boiling point. Boll without stirring until sirup begins to dissolve. Remove from fire and place in larger pan of cold water to instantly stop boiling. Remove from cold water and place in a saucepan of hot water. Now dip macaroni in sirup at regular intervals close to edge and put two together. When firm add a third macaroni and so on until a circle is formed large enough for base of basket. Over these fit another layer of macaroni and over the second layer a third one. Make a handle of stretched candy twisted, and adjust same. Arrange basket on small plate, fill with ice cream, garnish with whipped cream, flavored and sweetened, and surround with holly.—Exchange. Wash Chamois and Doeskin Gloves. The secret of success in washing chamois and doeskin gloves lies in using lukewarm or cool water—better cool than even a few degrees too warm. That, at least, is one of the secrets; the other is to use soap water. The soapier the water, providing it is of the right temperature, the silkier and softer the gloves will be. They should first be freed from all dirt in a soap bath, and in order that they may be rinsed from the dirt set free. They should then be pressed and squeezed in a thick until they are free from soap and water as nearly as possible. Then they are ready to bung to dry in a cool, dry place. Never hang them near a fire, and never hang them in the sunshine if you would have them soft and pliable after laundering. Individual Coconut Pies Beat together the yolks of two eggs one cupful sugar, three tablespoonful flour and pinch of salt. Add one pint boiling milk and stir airbrush until it thickens smoothly. Remove from stove, flavor with vanilla and add three-quarters cupful shredded coconut. Pour into individual shoulder that is cooled.

Serve very cold. Beef Scramb With Tomato Take pieces of beef left from a reast that are not inviting enough to serve again at the table. Place in the bottom of a granite, baking dish, season with salt and pepper and pour over this a quart can of tomatoes, or a can of tomato soup is even better. Then cover, with bread crumbs, and dot with butter and bake till golden brown. Fine served with fried potatoes. Beef, Fricassee. Cut two pounds of siew. beef into pieces about two inches square.

Asparagus With Peas—Cut the tender portions of a bunch of asparagus in pieces and hold them lengthwise; let it cook in boiling water, with a bit of salt and a Pass—Cut the tender portions of a bunch of asparagus in pieces half an inch in length; let it cook in boiling water, with a bit of salt and a tablespoonful of butter. Beat the yolks of three eggs, add half a teaspoonful of sugar, a dash of pepper and salt; if needed a cupful of cooked peas; and add the asparagus and mix with the other ingredients, cook until the egg thickens. Serve on toast or on a dish garnished with toast points. Cut the stem ends from six peppers, parbull for three or four minutes in salted water, drain and set in order in a serving dish suitable for the oven. Have ready about a cupful and a half of white sauce made from rich milk or cream, half a cupful of rice cooked tender and three milk onions boiled until tender. Cut the onions in bits and mix with a third of the white sauce. Fill the peppers with alternate layers of cream and creamed the mixture. Sprinkle with a few buttered crumbs over each and put in the oven until the crumbs are brown. Serve with the rest of the sauce poured around the peppers at once. Prune Bavarian Cream—Remove the prune and cut cooked prunes in small bits. There should be one cupful and a half of pulp and juice. Soften a third of a package of gelatin in one-third of a cupful of cold water; dissolve a little of the prune juice heated for the purpose; add one-fourth of a cupful of orange marmalade, the juice of half a lemon and two-thirds of a cupful of sugar; stir until the sugar is dissolved, then set in ice water and stir occasionally until the mixture begins to set, then fold in a cupful and half of a cream beaten stiff, and put into a mold. Garnish with half a cupful of whipped cream and pieces of cooked prunes. HELPFUL IDEAS. The decoration of the table for simple or elaborate entertaining does not take as important a place as it should. A properly and at the same time prettily decorated table need be decorated expagandrous or in much work. For those who serve with the beautiful wood of the table cov- place as it should. A properly and at the same time prettily decorated table need not be either expensive or incur much work. For those who serve with the beautiful wood of the table covered with doilies or with beautifully laundered linen, the center piece is the first consideration. When a cloth is used there should be a heavy silence cloth under the linen, which may be of an old blanket or of a woolen fabric made for the purpose. At any rate have something to deeden the sound and add the table. When a color scheme is desired a piece of alk or silica cut a bit smaller than the open-worked center piece will give a pretty tone of color to the table and if the same color is used in flowers and candle shades a most attractive result is obtained. A center piece which is a low basket, filled with flowers loosely but gracefully arranged, with narrow ribbons running to tiny baskets also filled with flowers at each cover is an exceedingly pretty table decoration. The small baskets may be bought for five cents aplece or less. To prepare fresh parsley for chopping dissolve an eighth of a teaspoonful of soda in a cupful of boiling water, dip the parsley in this and let the sprigs remain a moment, when they will turn a bright green. Then directly from the boiling water take them and cut with a sharp knife, then add to sour or sauce. Both parley and mint may be kept in vinegar, spiced or otherwise. Simply heat the vinegar and steep the herbs in it until of the desired strength, then strain and bottle. Such vinegar will keep for years and is a great addition to many dishes. Dried parley and mint may also be used. Dried parsley and mint are used with of spirits with a sharp knife until well brushed and fine, and two table-spoons of sugar and two of boiling water, let stand for a few minutes to steep, then add hot vinegar, a quarter of a cup if quite strong. If the vine- The Last Cartridge. Near the French town of Sedan is the village of Bazelles, where some of the fiercest fighting took place in 1870. There is a tavern still standing known as the Last Cartridge, which was the last French position desperately defended by the marines in the bloody war. The inn, which was the only house not burned down, now contains, a small museum of relics of the battle, and one of the rooms on the first floor is still preserved in the same state as it is seen in the pathetic Horse Makes Electric Light. An Ohio inventor has devied an apparatus, intended to transform a horse's energy into electricity, with which to light a house, or charge storage batteries for the motor car which has replaced it for family driving purposes. The arrangement consists of a circular sweep which operates a dynamo, the animal causing power to be generated, walking steps around the house, and a wheel attachment keeps the horse going steadily ahead. If the animal gar is not very strong the water may be too hot the hot vinegar used to steep mint in it. SOME GOOD DISHEB. For a cold day there is no more appetizing dish than Chili Con Carne -Boll until tender one pound of smel red chili beans. Just before they are quite done add one onion and one clove of garlic fine —Boll until tender, one pound of small red chili beans. Just before they, are quite done add one onion and one clove of garlic finally chopped. There should be at this time in the dish about three pints of water; add seasoning of chili powder and a teaspoonful of salt. Chop a pound of salt, let cook to try out the fat, remove the bits and add a pound and a half of chopped steak or hamburger. Stir for a few minutes, then add to the beans and let cook several hours. **String Bean Salad**—For a can of beans mix four tablespoonfuls of olive oil, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, a few dashes of cayenne pepper, a tablespoonful of catchup, and a teaspoonful of grated onion, a half-teaspoonful of salt or as much as is needed. Pour this dressing over the beans and toss until well mixed. American Sauce. — Grind two pounds each of fresh pork and ham through a meat chopper; chop one small onion, one green pepper, one red pepper and four sprays of parsley, cut fine. To the meat and vegetables add one teaspoonful of powdered basil, half a teaspoonful each of curry powder and parprika, a teaspoonful of salt, two eggs, well beaten and one-cupful of rich milk. Mix all the ingredients together, adding more onion and other seasonings if desired. Spread half a yard of cheesecloth on a meat board; on this lay strips of thin sliced bread, side by side; on the bacon place the sausage rolled, spreading, the ends with slices of bacon, then roll in the cloth. Tie the ends and two or three places through the center or sew, it well. Let cook in boiling salt water (to which half a cupful of vinegar has been added) for three hours. Let cool under a weight. Serve cold, sliced thin with potato, cabbage or string bean salad. SOMETHING NEW TO TRY.

Divide into two parts; add to one part, two tablespoonfuls of molasses, one cupful of raisins, one-half teaspoonful of cloves, one teaspoonful of cloves, one-tenth of a teaspoonful of grated nutmeat. Bake in a buttered tin for 20 minutes; take from the oven and spread over the white part; return to the oven and bake until well done. Pear and Pimento Salad—Fill each canned pear with two halves of canned pears; place on a bed of lettuce and serve with the following dressing: Put one teaspoonful of salt, into a bowl; add a few dashes of red pepper; four tablespoonfuls of melted butter and two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, mixing well with the butter. Olive oil may be used in place of butter. Cheese Balls—Rub a teaspoonful of butter into half a cupful of crumbs; add a fourth of a teaspoonful of mustard; one cupful of grated cheese; one egg; a half teaspoonful of salt and a few grains of red pepper. Shape in small balls and fry in hot fat. These are nice to serve either with soup or a salad. French Pancakes.-Take four tablespoonfuls of sugar; add four tablespoonfuls of melted butter; a cupful of milk to a half cupful of flour; two eggs and a teaspoonful of lemon extract. Bake in six cakes, butter and put jam between every alternate one. Cover with powdered sugar and serve piled high on a dish. Serve cut in wedge-shaped pieces like pie.

ARGUES CASE IN SUPREME COURT Distinguished Lawyer and Consistent Agitator For the Full Constitutional Rights of Colored Americans Questions Legality of Oklahoma Separate Car Law Before Highest Tribunal. Washington—The Jincrow car case brought up from the United States circuit court of Oklahoma was recently argued in the United States supreme court by Attorney William Harrison of Oklahoma City, Okla. The purpose of Lawyer Harrison in bringing the matter before the highest court is to test the constitutionality of the separate car law for interstate passengers. The case was filed in the federal court by Lawyer Harrison Feb. 11. The case is unique in that it involves the rights of the colored people of the country. It is one which few lawyers have been willing to handle and has been from its beginng handed exclusively by lawyers of our race. In the argument Attorney Harrison sought to interpret the mind of congress as evidenced by the enabling act approved by congress June 16, 1900, and insisted that unless the legislature of the state of Oklahoma could violate every provision of the enabling act, which the people of Oklahoma had accepted and adopted irreverently as a condition precedent to admission into the sisterhood of states, it (the legislature of Oklahoma could not enact a law making distinction when it comes to the Negro race based upon color, the WILLIAM HARRISON. same being forbidden by the language of the act itself. This argument was clinched when Mr. Harrison pointed out that separate schools were provided for in the enabling act and no other distinction or separation. Arguing that the act of the Oklahoma legislature seeks to and does regulate interstate transportation, the lawyer said the act must stand or fail to be construed as being clear, positive and unambiguous, could not be construed away and had to be taken as expressing the mind of the legislature. He exploded the theory of police regulation and showed that, so far as the health, safety, comfort, etc., of the citizens were concerned, the police regulation argument set out by defendants was a mere subterfuge, and in this connection it was forcibly argued that the Mexican, the Italian, the Indian, the Turk, the French, the German, the face of the earth had been legislated into white men and educated, cultured and refined citizens by the act of the legislature complained of. Lawyer Harrison reached his client by invoking the interpretation and construction of the federal constitution and specifically the fourteenth amendment as applied to the act of the legislature of Oklahoma complained of. Perhaps the most finely drawn differentiation was shown by the able jurist when it came to comparing the case at bar with other cases adjudicated. He clearly showed that his case was different and new in the following particulars—to wit: The supreme court of the state of Oklahoma had not construed the law as had been done in cases coming up from Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, etc. The case at bar had evaded and avoided the state courts, knowing what its fate would be once in the said courts, and finally that the word "distinction" did not occur in the organic act of the states mentioned, but was purposefully written in the enabling act of Oklahoma. Closely connected with the case and intimately associated with Mr. Harrison from the very beginning of this case is the Rev W. H. Jernagin, D.D., pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist church in this city. Dr Jernagin was formerly pastor of a Baptist church at Oklahoma City. Okin, before completion of the church, was the face man of the cloth and has from the beginning agitated and argued that competent Negro lawyers were able and should have the conduct of this case. He has stood on the dinging line, financially encouraging Lawyer Harrison to go on, and this he has continued up to the present time.

Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were one time called upon to assist army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Esses suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 500 dogs in the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between England and Scotland. bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving no corpse for the hound to and wide Bruce adopted the test trial of wading some distance from a stream and associating a dog which overcame the rates.
