E. church last Friday evening, under the auspices of the Des Moines branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was a decided success and was well attended, notwithstanding the fact that the drizzling rain from above and the slippery ice under foot made it impossible for one to go out without endangering both life and limb.

Those composing said committee were John L. Thompson, S. Joe Brown, Mrs. J. B. Rush and Albert Walker of Marshall-town JIM CROW BILL AGAIN Again in this present legislature some narrow-minded so-called legislator by the name of Miller, the same man who introduced his same Jim Crow bill two years ago has just reintroduced it again, the intermarriage bill. It is indeed a shame that the intelligence of this great state, with her free institutions, her high ideals, her good morals, her Christian sense of equal justice should be forced to consider the prejudices of some person. There is no demand for such legislation in Iowa, nor any other state of the union. The white women of Iowa are not asking for such a law. There is not 2 per cent of racial intermarriage in Iowa. This bill is designed to permit white men to prey upon the virtue of our innocent colored girls and then not be forced to marry or to make illegitimate what now under the present condition would be legitimate child. The better class of colored people have not, never have and never will want to intermarry, but we don't want any such black laws upon our statute books for the black laws were wiped off of Iowa statute book about fifty years ago. Recognized Advantages. You will find that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has recognized advantages over most medicines in use for coughs and colds. It does not suppress a cough, but loosens and relieves it. It aids expectation and onens the secretions, which enables the system to throw off a cold. It counters any tendency of a cold to result in pneumonia. It contains no colum or other narcotic, and may be given to a child as confidently as to an adult. For sale by all dealers. A PROTEST AGAINST INTER- MARRIAGE BILL. T. H. Phillips. FREDERICK DOUGLASS FREDERICK DOUGLASS. This month of February, although the shortest month in the year, yet some of the greatest American statesmen were born beneath her varied seasons. And one of those distinguished sons that we delight to honor is Frederick Douglass, who is supposed to have been born some time during this month near the 17th, in 1817, in Tuckahoe, Maryland, in adversity, misery and poverty, raised up among the dogs, cats in the degraded slave cabin, with no parents, no education, no churches. He had as far to rise to where the weaverage American boy is born nowadays has to become a member of the American congress, but he arose up out of this mire t the average boy and then by his indomitable will power he marched onward and upward to become a great American orator, statesman and diplomat, honored by presidents, kings, princes and highest men of all civilized countries, a wonderful object lesson and inspiration to the American youth. Let us emulate the good qualities of this great statesman. "The Best Laxafive I Know Of." "I have sold Chamberlain's Tablets for several years. People who have used them will take nothing else.

Bloodhounds were at one time often called the gold to assist an army in the war of Esses suppressed the tide rebellion in the time of Elizabeth by 500 dogs. In the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds regularly employed in tracking negative warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner.

Susan Washington Portrait A rare and curious mozzot portrait of George Washington in the library of the late Lafayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass., was auctioned on last year in Boston.

It was in neither the Clarkson nor the Carnegie sale of Washington portraits. Inclist on Yellow Flour.

L. E. Johnson, president of the American Colonization society, founder at the Negro republic on the west coast of Africa. Ernest Lyon, consul general of the United States, presented the presentation. Liberia has conferred this decoration on several crowned heads and some distinguished statesmen. It consists of a heavy gold six-pointed star, attached to a neckband of blue and white silk. On one side of the star is a medallion showing a ship in enamel, surrounded by the legend, "The love of liberty brought on the earth," on medallion; are shown two Africans kneeling at the foot of a cross. Doctor Johnson was re-elected president of the American Colonization society at the annual meeting. Henry L. West was re-elected vice-president and Paul Sleman secretary-treasurer. The directors chosen were also by relection, consisting of Milton E. Alles, J. Henry Small, James B. Reynolds and Charles E. Howe.

Peters, who died in 1858, and whose estate is now being settled. President Johnson, in his report, called attention to the attitude of Liberia in declaring neutrality in the present European war. It was stated that a foreign wireless set up on Liberian soil had been definitely sealed for the period of the conflict. Rachel Howard, an aged colored woman, living near Gatherersburg, Md., in the plaintiff in an interesting suit filed in the circuit court against Hern C. Briggs, a young friend of Gatherersburg district. The suit seeks to have carried out the wishes of Mrs. Mary J. Briggs, mother of the defendant, expressed in her will, which provides that "it is my desire and wish that my son, Hernan C. Briggs, take good care of Rachel Howard during her life for her faithful services rendered during the time she lived with me." The defendant inherited his mother's estate, the total value of which was about $60,000. Until a year ago the colored woman was provided for, but since then the defendant has, it is charged, refused to care for her. The bill represents that the defendant has disposed of all the property inherited by him, excepting a portion of a 400-acre farm near Gaithersburg, and that he is fast divesting himself of what remains. Desiring to contribute their share to the fund Washington is raising for the relief of the Belgian sufferers, thousands of people of the district assembled in Convention hall, where a benefit entertainment consisted of a big ball and was given by a committee of colored citizens who are co-operating with the Washington Belgian relief committee Several weeks ago a delegation of prominent colored men of the city, headed by Leon S. Wormley, informed John A. John L.ogan, chairman of the relief committee, of the desire of the colored people to assist in the relief work, and asked if the committee would lend its support to a movement among the colored people for a joint benefit entertainment. Mrs. Logan assured them that the summum they might raise would be most welcome, and offered to co-operate with them in every way possible. Committees were immediately appointed, and from the first the success of the movement was assured.

Hill, pastor of the People's church of Indianapolis, was the speaker for the men's "monster meeting" at the colored Y. M. C. A. building. Mr. Hill has previously addressed the men's meetings.

Special emblems is placed on the awardable school, which has one of the most popular departments of the association nearly two years.

Negro folk songs were presented about ten years ago by one of the influential colored churches at Indianapolis and were well received by a large audience of white and colored persons. Following this effort a number of churches featured the Negro music with varying degrees of success. Within the last ten years, however, few attempts have been made to revive folklore songs. The management of the Y. M. C. A. feeder of organization of the colored people should make an effort to preserve this form of Negro music, and believes that it is peculiarly fitting for the Y. M. C. A. to do so, because it is made up of the representatives of all organizations and churches. Bob Holmes, aged one hundred and sixteen years, a Negro pensioner of Harris county, and formerly a slave on the Texas plantation, will be the first inmate of a home for aged former slaves that was inaugurated on the banks of Huston Heights by H. Grant, a Negro residing at 1522 Columbia street. After conferring with Mayor Marmion of Houston Heights relative to moving Holmes to Houston Heights, Grant announced that the new institution will use temporarily a rent house belonging to him at 1518 Columbia street. Two women, also former slaves, will also be moved at once into the home. One of these is Martha Anton and the mother of Anna Briton, both said to be more than eighty years of age. The home for aged ex-slaves is an outgrowth of a New Year's dinner given about forty aged Negroes January 1 this year by John Grant. Following the dinner a meeting was held at one of the local Negro churches as formed for the purpose of raising funds and maintaining a home of this kind of aged ex-slaves who are without means of support will be cared for. Among the means that will be used for providing funds will be the sale of enlarged portraits of the benefiches, framed for hanging in the Negro churches of Harris county—Baltimore American.

This was the ruling of Judge W. S. McCleenahan in the district court at Brainerd, Minn. Mary C. Marshall, of Negroes years old, had brought suit against the discriminatory Sunday school at Atkin, Minn. alleging she had been the discriminator against while attending religious services, being forced to sit apart from the white members. "No legislative body," Judge McCleenahan said, "ever has specifically included churches or religious societies in the so-called civil rights act. For courts to undertake to dictate how they shall conduct their affairs would meet with just resentment and would be of doubtful legality on constitutional grounds."

SERVE CROUTONS WITH SOUP Thay, Increase Fat Content Very Sensibly—Many Odd Flavors That May Be Utilized. The fat content of all soups can be increased by using with them some kind of croutons of dry bread sautéed in butter or fat. Cut into dice or jellune strips, they may be smushed with butter or oil in the oven, or served in a skillet, then served floating in the soup. Whipped cream also brings up the fat and makes a pleasing garnish to almost all cream soups. There are many odd flavors too sedum utilized, as for instance, pimento, which makes a pliant flavor when added to a plain cream purée. One of the most delicious cream soups is made of corn and served with butter, great popcorn on top, and a yolk is another attractive garnish, and, indeed, the cream soup offers endless possibilities. Russian Borchac. "The basis is a very strong beef stock, flavored with whole cloves, peppercorn, bay leaf and a few aniseeds. Peel beets and cut into julienne strips. Boll direct in the beef stock; which becomes highly colored from the juice. Serve in individual plates with a garnish of sour cream. Lentil Purée.—Two cupfuls dry lentil beef stock, two tablespoonfuls butter, two tablespoonfuls flour; salt, pepper, nutmeg. Soak lentils over night, drain, boll in stock until tender. Rub through a sieve and combine with butter and flour mixture, browned together in skillet, season, and if liked, serve with cooked frankfurte. in each plate. NATIONAL SOUP OF FRANCE Delicious and Nourishing is That Preparation Known to World as Pot-au-Feu. Pot-au-feu, which may be called the national French soup, is a delicious, nourishing soup. It should be made in a covered earthenware pot. Take three pounds of round beef, a large marrow bone, six carrots, two or three turnips, two leeks, a bunch of parsley, several cloves, a bay leaf, and one lump of sugar. Put the beef into the pot and cover it with as many quarts of water as there are pounds of beef, add a little salt and let it boil up, then skim carefully and add a little cold water. Let it boil again, skim with and then add the vegetables. With it, add a little air to the oil, and let cook over a good fire constantly at boiling point for several hours. When cooked, remove the meat and vegetables, skim the liquor, and serve in a tureen with slices of bread. The vegetables may be served separately, and the meat which has been cooked in the pot may be used in many ways: stewed, cooked au gratin, it is especially delicious served with a thick tomato sauce. Baked Ham and Eggs Chop or grind trimmings of cold ham; put a rounding tablespoonful of butter into a saucepan and when melted stir'in a level tablespoonful of flour, a teaspoonful of vinegar, a dash of cayenne and one-fourth level teaspoonful of mustard; let cook until thick and smother a little, then stir in as much ham as the seasoning will take up; stir until heated, turn into baking soda, shake into a deep depression in the top; into each hollow break one egg, dust with salt and set in the oven until the white of the egg is set; serve in same dish. Brown Potato Soup. Peel and dice about five medium-sized potatoes and cut up a little celery; cook in salted water until tender. Put into a hot iron skillet a teaspoonful each of butter and nice lard, and when melted rub into it two tablespoonfuls of flour; keep rubbing and stirring this about in the hot pan until well browned and quite granular. Now be sure the soup is bubbling rapidly when the browned flour is to be sifted in slowly while stirring rapidly; allow to boil for a few minutes and serve. Ironing Hint. When it is necessary to iron a rough-garment at once, try this method: Damp it, roll tight, wrap in a cloth, and then in paper, and put it into the oven while the irons are heating. Evaporation will cause it to be thoroughly dampened in a very few minutes; but care must be taken that the oven is not hot enough to scorch the things. Boston Cookies Mix thoroughly three well-baked eggs, one and one-half cupults of sugar, one and one-half cupults of raisins, seeded and chopped fine, one cupulpt of butter, one-half teaspoonful of soda, one cupulpt of sugar, one cupulpt with four enough to spread on thin. The dough should not be molded or rolled. Corn Grouquettes Put one can of corn through the meat grinder, add one teaspoonful melted butter, one of sugar, salt to taste and the yolk of one egg.

IOWA STATE BYSTANDEH WHAT DREAMERS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. "The dreamers live forever, while the toilers die in a day!" What would have become of this country, what wretched conditions we should now be living under had it not been for theream of our forefathers? It was Washington's dream of liberty and independence that enabled him to endure the hardships of that cruel winter at Valley Forge. It was the same kind of a dream that supported Lincoln through those frightful years of the Civil war and that enabled the Puritans to see a great, a glorious country where those without imagination saw only savages and unbroken forces. The dreaming capacity is not a mere phantasy of the brain. It is the prophesying ability. It is a faculty of seeing possibilities, a forecast of what is possible to us. The actualities of today were the dreams which men laughed at even 25 years ago. We are living in realities today which were once dreams which people ridiculed. The dreamers were often abused and persecuted and sometimes thought to be insane. The locomotive, the railroad, the steamship, the telegraph, the ocean cables, wireless telegraphy, the automobile, the flying machine—all these were considered dreams of the insane by multitudes of people. Marconi, the Wright brothers, Professor Bell, Edison, Morse, and all men have given us the great men inventions which have emancipated us from much of the drudgery and hard conditions under which our forefathers lived, would have been imprisoned or hun, as witches had they proposed these things three-quarters of a century ago. Take the achievements of dreamers out of the world and who would care to live in it? The men who see only facts, who see only things that actually exist at any time have not been the world's greatest benefactors. The men who have seen and anticipated the civilization of the future, the men who have seen and anticipated human wants a long time ahead—these have been the world's benefactors. It is those men who see seaming cities, thriving factories upon the desert, when others see only sage brush and alkali plains that are the true civilization builders. The greatest benefactors of the world have been the seers into the future: they have been the dreamers of things to come. Civilization itself is largely the work of dreamers. Because dreamers dreamed we are enjoying multitudes of comforts, luxuries and facilities and useful things which but for them we should have been deprived of. Because dreamers dreamed we have colleges, universities, marvelous educational facilities, vast libraries, masterpieces, which nations envy; in fact, our lives are crowded with things that dreamers have given us. But for somebody's dream the very land in which we live would still be an undiscovered wilderness. The dreamers tunneled our mountains, have spanned our great rivers, opened our mines of wealth, they have made it possible for us to travel across continents and across oceans in portable palaces. The automobile dream which people laughed at 25 years ago is now helping us to solve the problem of crowded streets and many other industrial problems. It is taking the place of horses, making our streets cleaner and our cities more healthful. The automobile is one of the greatest blessings that has come to women in a long time, taking them out of the monotony of their lives, giving them variety of experience, living and deepening their lives. It is revolutionizing city life by tempting people into the country. It is adding wonderfully to the health of the confined business and professional man. In fact, the automobile dream is becoming one of the greatest health promoters, one of the greatest joys and blessings that ever came to humanity. There is a divinity in legitimate dreaming. Our desires, pur longings, and prophecy of what life may be, to be the thing is to fashion the life after the pattern shows us in the moment of our highest vision, to make our highest moment permanent. The golden age onward, not behind; The pathway through the past has led The pathway through the future will lead on And higher. Do not stop dreaming. Encourage your visions and believe in them; cherish your dreams and make them real. This thing in us that aspires, that bids us look up, that beckons us higher, is God-given. Aspiration is the hand that points us to the road that runs heavenward. As your vision is so will your life be. CONFIDENCE A POWERFUL FAC TOR IN HEALTH. "What fine winter we are having," says the healthy man. "Very bad, very bad!" replies the chronic invalid. "This is the weather that brings pneumonia and other diseases. I feel now as if I were about to be laid up with." Mosquitoes Near Pole. The presence of mosquitoes in myriads within the bare, uninhabited arctic circle is surely in some degree a mystery. The mosquito is a blood-sucker, but in these universal plains he is for the most part and of strict necessity a vegetarian. A few birds excepted (and the birds are furnished with impervious feathers) there is no local life whatever. The Lapp in summer drives his reindeer to the sea, and no native crates the field if he can help it. Yet in this region. something. Think I'll stop to see Doctor Blank on my way up town." The sun was shining and the day was clear and cold, yet this man—the doctor's friend—saw only disease in the erisp air and bright skies. How many people, like him, are always seeing sickness ahead and preparing for it? They expect it, anticipate it, and consequently have it. It is only a block or two to a physician; a drug store is on every corner, and the telegraph to send for the physician to get drugs at the slightest symptom of illness tends to make them more and more dependent on outside helps and less able to control their physical discords. One of the most unfortunate things that has come to us through what we call "higher civilization" is the killing of faith in our power of disease resistance. During the frontier days there were little villages and hamlets which physicians purely entered, and here the people were strong and healthy and independent. They developed great powers of disease resistance. There is no doubt that the doctor habit in many families has a great deal to do with the developing of unfortunate physical conditions in the child. Many mothers are always calling the doctor whenever there is the least sign of disturbance in the children. The result is that the child grows up with this disease picture, doctor picture, medicine picture in its mind, and it influences its whole life. The time will come when a child and any kind of medicine will be considered a very incongruous combination. Were children properly reared in the love thought, in the truth thought, in the harmony thought; were they trained to right thinking, a doctor or medicine would be rarely needed. One of the tendencies of ill health is to make one morbid. People who are constantly thinking about their ailments often develop a morbid passion for sympathy. They want to tell everybody of their aches and pains, to describe their symptoms. Have you ever known a woman who has acquired the doctor habit, a woman who loves nothing in the world quite as well as an opportunity to tell the doctor of her aliments? She has poured them out to unwelcome ears, to forced listeners, till she longs for some one who can really appreciate it all, who sympathizes with her in her troubles, so she sends for the doctor or goes to see him. This becomes almost a mania with some women who have few outside activities to divert them. Their minds naturally revert to themselves, and they become saturated with the polished thought. Confidence is a powerful factor in health, so they should thoroughly believe in our ability to keep ourselves well by health, harmonious, happy thinking. So long as we doubt our ability to maintain health, so long as we picture to ourselves disease and physical weakness, it is impossible to attain to a strong, normal physical condition. The time will come when we will no more allow discordant thoughts in our mind than we would scatter thistle seeds over our gardens. Knowing well that thinking is building, our thinking will be reflected in our bodies. Swiss English. A pamphlet describing the attractions a Swiss hotel offers to tourists, has the following allurements: "The modernist hotel in the place, directly lain at the port-railway station." "Favorable staying for those who seek recover and quietness. An unrivaled stand-quarter for the many charming excursions." "Built on a plateau of old Romans with antic buildings overlooking the most different panoramas that is." "Electric illumination offers a fairy aspect." "One hundred beds in the center of business and notwithstanding, situated very quietly in the middle of the Bahnhohstrasse." "Seventy friendly, noble fitted rooms. Rich electric light and sightful balconies." "Carbonic acid baths, odoriferous baths and baths recommended by physicians. Two approved physicians and one female physician on the place." Privileges of Manx Women Manx women, too, have special privileges, says the London Chronicle. Every female adult, widow or spinster, in the Isle of Man, whether she be owner, occupier, or lodge, has a vote for the house of keys elections. Every widow enjoys half of her husband's personal estate, and has a life interest in his real estate, and she cannot be deprived of this by will; whilst her written consent must be obtained to all transfers and deeds affecting her husband's property. On the other hand, no married woman can legally own in her owr right either money or property in the Isle of Man, have no separate estate unless specially protected before marriage, and can make no will without the leave of her husband. Useful Instrument Samuel and Jake, two negroes, arranged a hunting trip, and were to meet the next morning at Jake's home, whence they were to start.

TO EXPLODE GASES LIKE THE "DUMDUM" New Weapon for the Destruction of Airships. Inflammable Bullet, Designed by an Englishman, Seems Capable of Doing the Work for Which It is Intended. Charles Dawson of Uckfield, England, the discoverer of the prehistoric skull at Pilt-down some time ago, has since the war started, turned his attention to another subject, the Boston Evening Transcript states. He has invented a little article which he calls an airship destroyer, the object of the invention being the destruction of airships, balloons, and similar flight machines, which are mainly supported by inflammable gases. The airship destroyer is a very simple affair. It consists of an ordinary rifle, gun or pistol bullet, which is bolted to form a cavity of suitable size, and filled with yellow oil. In the case of an inflation pattern of the airship, the conical bullet is bored or cast with a round hole at the apex to the depth of two centimeters (7.7 of an inch) with a diameter of two and one-half millimeters (09 inch). The cavity is filled with yellow phosphorus, and a small portion is allowed to project beyond the apex of the bullet. When the rifle is fired the phosphorus is heated by the discharge, and either commences to burn at once or is predisposed to flare on coming into the slightest contact with another body. For instance, as soon as the bullet hits the envelope or gas bag of an airship or balloon it will not already do so, and the gas would be ignited and the airship exploded. The phosphorus will continue through the air, being atulated by the oxygen in the atmosphere. The inventor explains that the car-tridges, which must be kept in water, when charged with phosphorus, can be adapted to any projectile now in use. "It has several advantages," says Mr. Ridgway. "In the first place, it is much easier to fire at an airship with a rifle than to have to use a big gun, which would require to be got within range of the object to be destroyed. It would also mean that any destruction would be confined to the airship, whereas where shells are fired from big guns considerable damage may also be done to buildings by pieces of shell. Of course it would not be safe to use these cartridges in the ordinary course of things, because if one should alight on anything inflammable, such as a haystack, there would be fire. They are intended solely for the destruction of airships." The bullet is really a "flaming bullet." It is not an explosive bullet. Phosphorus does not explode, it only burns or flames in oxygen, or air, which is mostly oxygen.

To the duke of Bucleuch, who recently celebrated his golden birthday, belongs this distinction. In 1860 he went to Russia to attend the coronation of Alexander II. Finding the cigarette warrior in that country, especially in St. Peterburg, he brought the weed in this form to England, and English folk have smoked them ever since. The Submarine To get a submarine ready for diving water is admitted into the "ballast" tanks. To keep the vessel on an even keel water is taken into the "trimming tanks." By means of these tanks the vessel is made to sink or rise, and to preserve the right position. Daily Thought. Politeness appears to have been invented to enable people who would naturally fall out, to live together in peace. --- Sharp-Pointed Bullet May Make Fearful Wound. Range at Which Projectile Is Fired and Age of the Man Hit Are Factors in Amount of Damage Done. American army surgeons are convinced that under normal conditions all modern bullets are more humane than those formerly used, in spite of the fact that they travel at higher speed and have a far wider range. They are so sharp pointed that when they strike the soft tissues alone they make clean-cut, narrow wounds which heal very quickly. When, however, they take a sidewise twist, or develop irregular, jagged edges through previously striking or glancing on some hard object, they have an explosive effect which produces just such terrible wounds as the "dumund." These effects are most liable to occur in vital organs inclosed in resisting bony walls, like the brain or heart, and are nearly always fatal. The range at which bullets are fired and the ages of the men they hit have been found to have a marked influence The Diagram Shows How the Base of a Bullet Spins Like a Top in a Constantly Increasing Circumference.

The bones of younger men usually have a great amount of animal matter, consequently are less brittle than those of older men. The less resistance met by the bullet in the comparatively softer bones, at short ranges, permits the passage of the bullet without explosive effect. In the cases of the older and more brittle bones the bullet at long ranges causes great damage, especially as the bullet at these long ranges has become unsteady from loss of velocity and strikes the bone sidewise, thus transferring its energy over a greater area than if it had struck point on. Owing to the change in the position of bullets fired at long ranges, the effect produced in the bony tissues is at first in the short ranges very severe from the high velocity, but in the mild ranges the effects are less severe because of loss in velocity, and at long ranges the effects became severe again because of the impact be made with the side of the bullet. Bad Taste as Seen in Japan. Doctor Aston, the scholarly Japanese secretary to the British legation in Tokyo, summarized what Kenko, the fourteenth century writer of "Tsurezure Gusa," considered to be "bad taste," thus: Too much furniture in one's living room. Too many pens in a stand. Too many Buddhas in a private shrine. Too many rocks, trees and herbs in a garden. Too many children in a house. Too many words when men meet. Too many books in a bookcase there can never be, nor too much litter in a dust heap—London Saturday Review. Parasite Destroys San Jose Scale. A parasite which destroys the dreaded San Jose scale has been discovered, and is now being used in Pennsylvania, where it has been highly successful in combating the ravages of the pest which has done such damage to American fruit and nut trees. The parasite is the Chalcid fly, which comes from the same part of China from which the San Jose scale first came. There the Chalcid fly has effectually checked the scale. Patterna by Kaleldoscope Halocope. Doctor Pulfrich, one of the experts of the Carl Zeiss Optical company in Germany, has constructed a kaloescope on scientific principles and of mathematical accuracy. Its use is for making kaloescope patterns for textiles, linoleums, decorations, etc., some of those it has produced being of extraordinary beauty. He calls the photokaloescope, because it is part of a camera that photographs the patterns it forms. Horse Chestnut Tree in Bottle. Horse chestnuts can be grown in a bottle of water. Use a bottle with a neck wide enough to hold the chestnut, adding water to just touch the nut and stand it in a window. Roots will form, followed by a stem and leaves. If the water is constantly supplied the tree can grow for years in the bottle. Spreading: Tuberculosis. Infection. Dr. Gay Hinsdale of Hot Springs Va., points out that it is not the expired air of consumptives that caries infection, but the sputum and tiny drops of moisture coughed up by the patient that carry the bacilli and communicate the disease to others.

And although an abundance of experimental material is readily obtainable, the demonstrations of theories enormously important to man are necessarily slow, largely because of a widespread prejudice against considering conditions in the lower animals analogous to those found in the human. Schiff noted fatal results to dogs following removal of the thyroid in 1856 and wrote about it in 1859, but no notice was taken of his work by the surgical profession. Again in 1884, following reports of the removal of human thyroids by Ravdinin in 1882 and Kocher in 1883, Schiff wrote showing that after complete extirpation of the thyroid all the animals died in four to twenty-seven days. These experiments were confirmed by various observers, but in many instances the symptoms shown by the animals subsequent to the operation proved to be of most variable character, not only different species, but also in different degrees of same appear. A few of the animals succumbed in a few days, frequently with the accompaniment of convulsions; others lived for some months or even longer and sank gradually from general lack of nutrition, but occasionally a dog would survive the operation. In the case of the human being complete removal induced a like variety of symptoms, a state resembling myxedema and cretinism (a condition of deficient development and idiocy), besides anemia, a readiness to fatigue, a sensation of cold and occasionally tetany (convulsions). The four insignificant peake利 parathyroid (near-thyroid) glands tucked away behind the more prominent thyroid gland for a long time escaped the eye of the anatomist, and for a long time after they were discovered they were given no particular consideration. But careful investigation of these baby glands by anatomist, histologist and embryologist proved them to be independent organs structurally and functionally distinct from any other tissues, and of vast importance in the economy. Experimental investigations demonstrated the parathyroids to be vital organs of remarkable physiological activity in a wide range of animal organisms. It was demonstrated that rabbits deprived of these tiny bodies died in convulsions. Gradually the significance of this observation dawned upon surgeons and physiologists. When the parathyroids alone are removed the animal dies quickly with acute symptoms, including convulsions; but when the thyroids alone are removed the animal may survive for a long period, but will develop a condition of chronic malnutrition similar to the disease known as myxedema in man. The experimental evidence in the case of the parathyroids tends to support the view that their function consists of in some way neutralizing toxic substances formed elsewhere in the body; they are poison destroying organs, whose principal function most probably is to neutralize the metabolic poisons particularly detrimental to the nervous system. Therefore, after removal of these glands, death occurs from the accumulation of the so-called metabolic tetany poisons formed in the blood and tissues, attacking the nerves in the absence of the normal parathyroid secretions. The tetany (convulsion) of pregnancy and lactation, epilepsy, exophthalmic goiter, paralysis agitans (shaking palsy) and other conditions associated with muscular tremor is closely identified with parathyroid insufficiency And so, too, is osteomalacia (morbid softening of bone), decaying teeth and rickets. It is known that lead (mole calcium) leads to increased calcium metabolism is doubtless influenced by the parathyroid glands and the parathyroids in course, gravelly influenced by of calcium. This is a fact of vast importance, as later investigations will prove. Have a Definite Value Among African Natives and Are Treated Accordingly. Although woman in Africa is regarded as property, she has certain rights which are seldom infringed upon, and of these, the most important is her right to marry who she pleases, or rather to refuse to marry one who does not please her, the Southern Workman says. There are two grim reasons for this. First, women married against their wills have been known to commit suicide. Second, women married against their wills have murdered their unloved husbands, usually strangling them when asleep. And the two reasons may be added the fear of martial unfaithfulness. So, in forcing oneself upon one of these women there is liability to a great loss—the loss of valuable property or of no less highly prized life. The young girls are well cared for, partly that they may be comedy and draw many sultons. Every girl will tell you frankly that she wishes to marry and have injections of parathyroid gland extracts cause the tetany to disappear without, however, protecting the animal from a fatal outcome. But in 1908 Macallum and Voogtin reported that injection or ingestion of calcium salts completely and instantly checks the symptoms of tetany arising from the removal of the parathyroids and a result of the animal to an apparently normal condition. Similar results have been obtained upon human beings suffering from tetany as the result of unintentional removal of the parathyroids. Obviously, then, wherever there is evidence of muscular tremor or twitching, it is reasonable to suspect some disturbance in parathyroid function. This points strongly toward a mineral deficiency, a calcium starvation, and to the fact that there is undoubtedly some close relationship between the sparse feed of demineralized foodstuffs and a large number of careworn, irritable individuals to be observed everywhere about us. The prevention is the use from infancy upward of natural unprocessed food matter. THE SUPRARENAL GLANDS. The next time you wake with a start in the middle of the night with your hair standing on end, your skin all goosefesh, with those peculiar tingling thrills of fear running up and down your spine and all over your body, and you are conscious that your heart is pounding like a steam trip hammer, do not say you are "nervous" and place all the blame on your "nerves." For, as a matter of fact, the condition is quite the reverse and you are suffering from lack of cerebral nerve action, rather than too much. The brain is essentially an inhibitory, a restraining and controlling organ. And exactly in proportion as the brain is developed and intelligently directed and controlled so is fear eliminated and banished. Permitting the brain to run wild and around a circle tends to derange the entire economy, as we shall see. But returning to the fear mentioned above. Possibly some more impulse beginning in a subconscious mental or dream action traveled from the pneumatic nerve, founded off and started into action the primordial nerve organization; but the actual active manifestations of fear are now known to be due solely to excitation of the sympathetic nervous system. And it is conclusively demonstrated that excitation of the sympathetic nervous system results from a substance manufactured in the medulla, this is to say, in the interior of the adrenal glands. This substance is known as adrenaline. There are three organs in our bodies which have the epithelial structure of glands, but are without ducts—the suprarenal capsules, the thyroid gland and the pituitary body. It is assumed that these organs obtain from the blood certain substances which undergo alteration in their epithelial cells, the product of such conversions being again returned to the blood. Since 1891, when Jacobi described nerves branching from the splanchnics (visceral nerves) and Hidl and Dreyer subsequently demonstrate that elastic stimulation of the splanchnics below the diaphragm produced in the adhax the substance increased amount of the substance increasing arterial blood pressure, more and more attention has been given to the investigation of the function of the suprarenals. It has been demonstrated that there is present in normal blood a substance which is constantly secreted by the adrenal bodies and which has a marked stimulating effect upon the tone of the blood vessels and upon the heart and perhaps on the skeletal muscles. It is assumed that this internal secretion is essential to the full activity of the sympathetic self-governing nervous system, and its failure or diminution will be followed by impairment of the functional activity of the tissues thus enervated. This substance, epinephrine (in adrenalin), has been deposited and injected into animals the cat, for instance, and is found to induce all the principal emotions characteristic of discharge along the sympathetic nerves; that is to say, the pupils the stomach and intestines are inhibited, the heart beats rapidly, the hairs of the back and the tail stand erect—in short, the cat is "frightened." if more than the normal quantity of adrenal is introduced into the blood stream. The adrenals are also demonstrated to have the power of neutralizing in some way the poisonous products resulting from muscular work. The active substance, adrenaline, extracted from the medullary part of the suprarenal glands has found many uses in the hands of the medical profession. Among these chiefly is its use in checking nosebleed and hemorrhages in minor operations, and in shrinking the tissues of the nose in hay fever. Its action in this latter disease opens the question of a relationship between the ductless gland secretions, hypersensitive nerves and the accepted cause of hay fever—plant pollen in the air. a good husband and children. Every father is anxious to have his daughters marry well. To secure a wife one must pay a dowry in cattle to the father, or, should the father be dead, to the nearest male relative. If a girl is much sought after her father naturally asks a larger dowry. When a man has paid part of the dowry the father may give consent to a provisional marriage and permit the couple to live together. Should the husband be too low in paying the remainder of the dowry his wife is taken from him. Trial marriages are common and can be set aside by either party. Their principal objects in marriage are mutual helpfulness and the perpetuation of the race. A Warning. "What are you cutting out of the paper?"

The same ideals hold fast to a girl's heart at twenty. Her first beau sets the standard by which she unconsciously, perhaps, judges all others who evince an interest in her. Another five years drift so swiftly by that a girl is scarcely conscious of the flight of time. Her eyes still look through the rosy glasses of that twentieth year. Youth and its pleasures seem dearer than ever to her. Very young men still appeal to her. Her heart has not gotten beyond the early girlhood stage. To say that she has a woman's hopes, thoughts and ambition at this stage cannot be said to be true in a majority of cases. At eight and twenty she begins to realize that men in their middle twenties are too young for her. She thinks the man in his early thirties too old to be cengialen. She has formed her ideal in early youth. It does not occur to her to remodel it to the requirement of the years. She has seen in her day dreams a handsome young man and is forever nurturing nothing but the love of the years, the real life where corresponds with the mind picture. It is safe to say that she seldom, if ever, realizes her hopes. At five and thirty she folds away her romantic dream pictures and looks about her, seeing the world of men as they really are. It would take a long stretch of imagination for such a girl to idealize a man fat, comfortable and forty into being an ideal hero. He does not talk sentiment with the fervor of youth. His habits are set. _His opinions are deeply rooted. Such matches are not always love matches. The man who loves matches is more likely to make a good, sensible wife than any other he knows of. She accepts him to rout at once and forever the fear that she will be an old maid if none other chance presents itself. No woman is ever justified in marrying for such a cause. The oldest and wisest sages tell us that woman is sure to meet her ideal if she waits long enough. Some are destined to wed early in life, some late. But love, and love alone, should be the only reason for marrying. Then her dreams would be realized. Two congenial hearts will become one. Happiness is only possible where one feels that she cannot live without the other. To wed a man who is not her ideal means a lifetime of unhappiness. A DIFFERENT WORLD WITHOUT HER. We starve each other for love's caress. We take, but we do not give. We take, but we do not give. But we doe the lave grudgingly, less and less, till 'tis bitter and hard to live. If life's song could go on uninterrupted to the finish, there would be no hushed music on the lips, no unsatisfied longing to the heart. One never knows how dear is the companion, how tender is the until which binds one heart to the other is suddenly snapped asunder. There are those who can move on in the same beaten path of life, doing their best to live and in a treasure forget. There are some griefs which take such hold on the heart and inflict such deep wounds that it seems they will not heal. Suns rise and creep to the noon, slowly deepening at length into the gloom of the night. The daily routine of life goes on as of yore. But without her it isn't the same old world. Old friends are kind, but they are only friends who come and go according as their interests draw them hither and thither. There is no closeness of it. They could not be depended upon to come at his call, as a crucial man in the army. Who has loved and lost does his best to hide from the world the blight that has fallen over him. He forces the tone of his voice to drop the note of sadness and his lips even to smile. But his heart feels the world's coldness. From his home sunshine has fled. His eyes see what no one else behold—a shadow on his hearth. Where should such a man look for solace? The babies on the block seem to draw him by a sympathetic chord. They learn to watch for the kindly gentleman who always has a smile and a gentle word for them. They stop their play to run a little way with him to he clap them by the hand. They learn to be kind to their friendship is always sincere. When one little toddler lips, "You don't live in our house, but I love you," he realizes that the dear old world is as full of the golden promise of love as ever; that it's only his poor heart that is weak and weary with its doubling. Brave is he who can realise that he IOWA STATE BYSTANDER cannot change the great eternal plan to give love to some, take love from others. If the heart's door is shut firmly against brooding memories they cannot enter and lodge there. The world does not change. It's the people it. Children romp through childhood's lovely girlhood and young manhood meet, love, and wed, and walk sunny paths awhile, then suddenly one loses the other. Life, loving and loss are repeated. The world goes on. It is cloudy today, but on the morrow the sun breaks forth again. Having once loved makes the heart tenderer toward others; nature's more charitable No grief is so deep but that the great magician Time may not heal it. No matter how dark the night, hope will rise with the roos morn, gliding the path which leads to the future. "This better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." IF YOU HAVEN'T A SWEETHEART. Love is just a morning-glory, doomed at noon to die; Love is only half a story, told in passing by; Love is only half a story, told in passing Love is gold so delicate the faintest fame would melt it: Love is nothing, but God help the man who's never known or felt it. If you haven't a sweetheart, try to review the situation, and see if it is not your own fault. Lovely woman is to be wooded, and therefore to be won. But they have no patience with laggards in the love game. A man must show an interest in women if he expects them to be interested in him in return. Because one of the fair sex is shy and seemingly cold; he shouldn't be fait-hearted and in despair lest his suit might be unsuccessful. There's no woman who detests a man because he loves her if he's comely in her sight. Even the plainest of men, plain to actual homeliness, have been known to aspire to the hand of the loveliest women and have led off the prize which handsomens men have failed to secure. Abraham Lincoln had a notable love affair of this kind. The girl who hands he sought in marriage was a famous belle and beauty; one of the most witty and fascinating young women of her day. The honest young lawyer, after several unsuccessful attempts on his part to declare himself, wrote her a love letter which was so convincing that it took the citadel of her heart by storm. He wrote in his letters that he would have spent thoughts for you to read, I may incur your displeasure. But I shall never despair. While you are single, I shall be. I will never lose the hope of winning you. This was a postscript, written on a separate piece of paper, which the young lady did not find for many a day. History has it that they had had a slight quarrel, and were well-night parted. Those words straight from an honest heart so impressed his lady love that she straightway recalled him. We see, from the difftent Lincoln, that no man is too bashful to make an attempt to gain a sweetheart when he sees a girl he really cares for. If he is too bashful to ask permission to call upon her, a note will probably pave the way. Many a man hangs back, doubtful as to whether he has found the right girl. That is the one matter in life where the man must be careful in his selection and choose for him. "Who will care?" Crookeback says: "Be sure you're right, then go ahead." Don't wait until you have piled up riches; if you do, some other man will beat you in love's race. When the heart is yet young, a man should take unto himself a wife." Don't wait until you are so old that a woman would consider you a burden instead of a prize. Without a sweet-heart the single man is never quite satisfied with himself. To love and be loved by a good, true woman should be every man's hope. Homemade Silver Polish To make the best silver polisher and cleaner known, take a bottle of ammonia as to this add two ounces of whiting and just a few drops of oxalic acid. In this way you will procure for the expenditure of fifteen cents as much of the best silver polish as can be purchased for a dollar in most of the prominent drug stores. This same polish is so cheap when homemade that it is often recommended to use it in polishing all of the cutlery and also the brass doorknobs or any other bright metal fixtures about the house.—"The Home Department," National Magazine. Canada's Capital. The old seat of government in French Canada was the city of Quebec. Under British rule the capital was Montreal, but as a result of a riot in 1849 the government was removed and alternated between Toronto and Quebec until 1858, in which year Queen Victoria selected Ottawa as the capital of Canada. Ottawa was founded under the name of Bytown in 1829 and was incorporated in 1854 when the name was changed. Diseases That Bavage Arms: Diseases That Ravage Armenia. Modern science has done much to banish disease amongst soldiers, and the scourges of smallpox, malaria and cholera, which in former campaigns have killed more men than bullets, have lost much of their menace for fighting men. There still remain, however, diseases such as dysentery, pneumonia, and enteric, which are likely to break out amongst bodies of troops unless careful precautions are taken by the men themselves. Revengeful Pigeon. A pigeon was into an optometrist's shop in New Bedford through an open treasury and tried to make a meal of some expensive lenses in the show window. Finding this impossible, the pigeon revengefully scrapped together a pile of lenses and magnifying glasses and then kicked them about, repeating this exercise several times until the proprietor interfered.

Koelsch as arising in certain electro-chemical factories form inhaling the dust of calcium cyanamid. The train of symptoms develops on taking a very small amount of alcohol, and even a sip of beer may be followed by congestion of the upper part of the body, infamed eyes, rapid pulse and breathing, lowered blood pressure, and a sense of oppression in the chest. The attack, which is without fever, usually passes in an hour or two. Exchange. Rusalan Priesta Must Marry. While the Catholic priest must be a cellate, the Russian must be married when he gets a position. As soon as he loses his wife he has to give up his position or go into a monastery. There is celibacy in the Russian church, but this exists only in the monasteries. A monk can never be a parish priest. Debt That Hurts.

To Protect Shoes Patent leather shoes are very hard to keep in cold weather, but if a few precautions are taken the shoes will survive all the cold without a crack. Every time they are worn they should be rubbed for five minutes. When they are first warmed through by the heat of the foot rub them with the palm of the hand until the moisture of the skin lubricates the leather. Once a week put three or four drops of nakedfoot oil in your palm until warm and then rub it thoroughly into the leather. This treatment will prevent cracking.

A. J Booker, M. D. Few people possess the art of visit- ing sick folks, There aro some cus- toms that would be better broken than have ill results follow: their be- ing carried out. As a rule the only eee i ad have is to pay re- aspects or to be of service, It takes only a few mo- ments to show ‘one’s interest; the sooner this is done the better, unless it is @ ease of intimate Yrlends. If one wants to help the family do the regu- lar work so that more time will be had for the care of the sick it is laud- able to visit. Tt borders on the silly to ask peo- ple if they really are sick, if they were not they would not be in bed. A real sick person does not want to be jollied by every Tom, Dick und Harry. When a person is ill their disposition is the least bit changed and they do not always like to talk on the same subjects that they did before they ‘were stricken, It is really adding in- sult to misery to parade your health ‘and well being before them with such nonsense as: “What do you want to get sick for ” and “I have not had a sick day in my life.” No one goes to bed and spends money for medicine for a joke. ‘They usually get the hest doctor they know and if they want an opin- {on from you they will ask. If you are a good friend and want to sea them, be sure that you do not stay so long that they wish you had stayed home or gone where it is warmer than it gets in this country when they say, “It is good for the corn.” It is easy to get on a per- son's nerves when they are having pain and ars forced to lie in bed. Every pain in the same place is not necessariy caused by the same trouble and it is useless to make a person miserable by having them think they are being wrongly treated. If you are better than the man they are pay- ing or promise to pay you should make your living by telling people what the trouble is and what to do for it \ Most of the trouble the doctors have is not with patients, but with the friends of the patients. The patient is usually easier to satisfy than the neighbors. Do not be a meddler, do not make the poor patients more miserable than the disease they suf- fer with does. Do not take children and babies to see sick people ,for two reasons. In the first place it is not pleasant, to criticise other people's children when they make too much fuss and begin to meddle with the things about the house; most important ani secondly, it is not good for the children. They need to be protected from all disease and danger, so for the ch"d’s sake keep it away from sick people and then perhaps the Lord will not be blamed for so much, ‘Make the calls as brief as possible and exercise as much control as pos- sible and be sure that you know what to say so a not to make any one un- happy.

Spencer of Grinnell came up to hear the lec- ture and be with his local lodge. While in this city Brother Albert Walker entertained the Grand Master at noon luncheon and his official stay was with P.
