REPUBLICANISM The Bystander has been preaching the great doctrine of unity, urging my race to become more united upon the great questions that affect our race as a whole. This year every colored voter ought to stand united man for man to return the grand old republican party back to power at Washington. There is no other party that has done as much for the Negro as the republican party. All the other parties have ignored or eliminated the Negro. It may sometimes seem to us that the republican party has not done all that it could do or even all it has promised to us or that may be really due us. But the truth is that the republican party has done all that has been done to develop and assist us up the hill. Then again they are asking for our aid, while the democrats have done all to retard our progress. Why even Du Boles, who four years ago hallowed his voice hoarse for Wilson, comes out in this month's Crisis and says the only thing to do is to vote the republican ticket. We always knew that Dr. Du Boles dealt in theory and not in practical things. We welcome you, Mr. Trotter, and the rest of the gang back home. A GREAT AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE. Located in the Heart of Missouri's Rich Soil. It was my good pleasure to visit this school last year, also this year, and to see the wonderful improvements made within one year leads the thoughtful student of events to say that this school is going to command a greater influence and a higher degree of efficiency than the Tuskegee because of its location and its fast taking place at the head with Prof. N. C. Bruce and his loyal wife and able teachers. They are now building a fine modern barn 40x60, holding twenty head of cattle and twenty head of horses, nearly completed, also have built and filled with a hundred tons of silage, are concrete monuments as witnesses of this great result. In bestowing "knighthood and awarding the world's premium at the White Corn Growers" Show this year the governor of the state among other things said: Moreover, white farmers from many parts of the state have purchased pure bred Boone county white seed corn and many county papers have written accounts of its successes and have praised and recommended the school to their colored patrons. Metropolitan papers, farm journals and magazines hitherto not noticing Negro farmers have come to recognize that a heavy Missouri liability of human beings can make, is being made, into a record asset at this school and on farms by the work and methods used by this school. This is some gain if it only keeps up, increasing and adding to it year by year. At the ninth annual Negro Farmers' conference last February, Hon. Frederick D. Gardner of St. Louis, Mo.; Judge D. K. James, our president; E. B. Kelogg, editor of the Charleton Coulier; A. F. Arrington, county surveyor of Charlton county, and other white men, present and over 300 farmers present and over 300 the institutions with large endowments of state and church aid, of which this school has neither The new teachers are Prof. M. R. Powell, A. B. Howard university; Prof. R. H. Payne, A. M., Kansas university; Mrs. A. M. Fischer, Columbia. These with Miss Maude D. Nelson or Louisiana, who is teacher of music; Mr. M. F. Rollins, shoemaking and harness departments, together with the principal and his wife, compose a faculty as capable as one can find in the best white schools. All are men and women though highly educated, yet joyfully do labor work necessary to apractical school for doing things. The United States through the Missouri State state university has located Prof. E. M. Parrish as farm agent expert at this school and from this school as a base he works out in north central Missouri among negro farmers. This also is a great gain. Students are in this school from many counties from Arkansas, Oklahoma and Illinois, and are pouring in daily. This is truly a school for our people worth while. More Than Enough Is Too Much To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and not appetite control and take a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets and you will soon be all right again. For sal: by all dealers.

ILL AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In a communication to the New York Times, Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in Howard university, says: "I have read with great interest your highly illuminating editorial article on the economic opportunities of the Negro in the North. Under the spur of urgent industrial demands it seems entirely likely that hundreds of thousands of Negroes will be transferred to the North, and thus shift to some extent the center of gravity of the problem. I beg to call attention to the importance for securing adequate provision for safeguarding the moral and social life of these people suddenly thrust into a new environment. The immigrants who perished to the European war, had拂赴 to our shores in unprecedented numbers, added to their racial assimilation, have been assisted in adjusting themselves to their new relations by the Christian churches and other agencies playing beneficially upon them. The Negro laborer from the South has no such helpful influences. "Coming from an environment of social and civil restriction into a section of complete public and civil freedom, he will, naturally enough, first, mistake liberty for license unless he is carefully infragged and encouraged in the right direction. The captains of industry are apt to be shortsighted. Immediate economic advantage blinds them to the civil consequences that may follow in its wake. "Should the inax of Negro laborers to the North, without proper restriction and control, be allowed to prejudice public opinion and thus reproduce Southern prescription in the Northern states, the last state of the race would be worse than the first. The Negro church where these laborers to work should be encouraged to reach a place they may hold upon every workman who comes to the Northern communities. Such agencies as the Young Men's Christian association should be established and encouraged. Tried and experienced social workers should move among them with a view to relating them sensibly to their new environment. "This new industrial movement, which opens up untold possibilities for the race, illustrates anew the importance of the higher education through which a body of trained leaders may be prepared for the arduous tasks of guiding aright the masses of their race amid the dangers and vicissitudes of life. "As an illustration of this principle, the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes has recently been able to two places on the tobacco plantations of Connecticut for 700 Negro students. I have, personally, placed over 75 students of Howard university in these tobacco fields. Experience has more than abundantly justified the wisdom of sending with each group of students an instructor to advise and encourage and direct them in their new relationship. "The economic opportunity for the race is, indeed, a large one. But great also are the moral responsibilities. Let us hope that the Negro will be encouraged to receive and appreciate the advantage of both." William H. Holtclaw, founder and principal of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, Utica, Miss., and considered by the late Booker T. Washington as one of the most prominent graduates of Tuskegee, has issued an To help Negro boys become practical farmers and to assist Negro girls in becoming competent housewives in the United States department of agriculture, in co-operation with the state colleges, is organizing throughout the South Farm Makers' club for rural Negro children. This activity, begun experimentally last year by the office of extension work, South, has grown rapidly and already is thoroughly organized in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Mississippi. The work also is being carried on no some extent in each of the other northern states. The chief object of the these clubs is to encourage Negro farmers, particularly in the cotton sections, to raise some food instead of devoting their office attention to a single crop. In the clubs for boys the typical plan is to encourage and help the members to use an acre, one-half of which is devoted to corn, one-fourth to potatoes and one-fourth to peanuts. This teaches a desirable rotation and at the same time furnishes three food products for human consumption, and two that are useful for cattle or hogs. The best conductors of lightning, placed in the order of conductivity, are metals, gas cake, graphite, solutions of salts acids and water. The best non-conductors, ending with the most perfect insulation, are India rubber, gut-tapered, dry air and gases, wool, ebonite, silk, glass, wax, sulphur, resins and paraffin. Pockets for money and jewelry are woven into the tops of women's stockings that a Pennsylvania has patented. California's production of chronic iron ore in the first six months this year was more than three times that of any previous annual output and its yield still is increasing. After experiments lasting more than a year it has been found that the manufacture of vegetable oils and soap can be made a profitable industry in South Africa. A new type-written attachment automatically feeds envelopes or cards into a machine to save an operator's time. appeal for contributions towards a balance of $2,500 required to install a plant to provide light, power and heat for his school, where 400 colored girls and boys and given a common English education and are taught some trade. With the installation of a new light and power plant at Tuskegee, that institution has turned over to Uptown. To test this up will total $4,000. Of this amount $1,500 has already been raised, largely through an appeal published in the Boston Transcript last March by some northern friends of Mr. Holtzclaw's school. Work of installation has already been started, and Mr. Holtzclaw now asks for the necessary balance so that the plant may be ready for the opening of the school in the fall. Three hundred delegates were in attendance at the opening of the thirty-sixth annual session of the national Baptist convention, a Negro organization which is meeting in Kansas City the second time in 20 years. It is an organization representing the religious activities of the Negro Baptist churches of all America and its possessions. The sessions are being held in Armory hall, Fourteenth and Michigan avenue, and will continue to noon on Monday. The convention supervises 20,000 Negro Baptist churches with an estimated membership of 2,750,000. At this session the establishment of a theological college at Nashville, Tennessee, will be considered. The church conducts 50 denominational schools, mostly in the South. Tuskegee institute does a useful work in publishing the Negro Year Book, the fourth annual edition of which now is available. The book contains nearly 500 pages, a remarkable evidence in itself of the growing activities of the race and the increasing interest in its efforts at improvement. One cannot fail to be impressed by the record of substantial and most creditable achievement on the part of the Negro and the Negro and woman suffrage, the Negro and woman prohibition. The book is indispensable to those who wish to be well informed on a most important phase of American life. It is said that Norway (Me.) men during the Civil war received more commissions in the army than men from any other town of its size in the state. Among them were one brevet major general, one brigadier general, two brevet brigadier generals, three colonels, ten captains, five lieutenants, one chaplain, one assistant surgeon and one regimental quartermaster. Recent investigations of Korea's iron mines have led to the prediction that they can be made to supply all domestic demands and in addition supply Japan with 1,000,000 tons of metal annually. Scientists have estimated that the heat received from the sun by the earth in a year is sufficient to melt a layer of ice 100 feet thick covering the entire globe. A museum of the horse, presenting a complete history of that animal from the earliest known period to the present, has been established in Paris. The girl members of these clubs receive practical instruction in gardening, canning, cooking and housekeeping. According to reports the county superintendents of schools and teachers of Negro elementary schools are supporting the work actively and state agricultural colleges and the technical schools established for the race are active co-operators in the larger phases of the work. For a number of years bricks have been made from lava rocks deposited by ancient flows in certain parts of the Hawaiian islands. Now it is believed that a station erected near one of the active volcanoes could by means of an endless chain of buckets transport the molten lava directly from the pit to the station, where it could be poured into molds. The tension members of a truss frame that supports a flat car of unusual capacity on a European railroad are formed of steel wire cables instead of the usual rods or bars.

FINDS BRITISH TRENCHES LAST WORD IN SKILL THINKS THE FOE UNNERVED Condition of German Prisoners Said to Indicate That the Strain Is Telling on the Whole Army—Kindness Surprises Captives. London.—Some new points of view are presented in the course of an article from an authoritative British source. Just what a man will see and what he is likely to feel if he visits the allied front line near the Somme at the point where the British army has just made one of its many steps forward are the writer's theme. After describing the general character of the country he recounts his progress through the communication trenches. Walking with your head two feet under cover along a neat crack in the earth with a sharp corner every few yards, finally you turn the last corner into the actual firing trench. It is a trench to gladden the consoisse's heart. How the men must have worked whenever they were not fighting—and is digging less dear than fighting to the soul of youth?—in order to model this perfect line of defense and offense, its sharply firing step and clear-cut verticle walls and massively squared transverses! Here is no grapping V-shaped ditch to collect the enemy's trench mortars and invite his wandering whizbangs in, and the men know it. You walk along the trench and see just pride as well as confidence in their faces. It is moon now, and some of them are blowing on hot tea to cool it, or eating out of their dixies hot stew of meat, potatoes and peas. It has not always been thus in the English firing trench. The English only learn in each of their wars by degrees, but now they have learned it. The day is fine, and other men are asleep, hasking like cats in a state of benitude on little sunny shelves and bunks cumely sculptured out of the trenches' firm clay walls. One little knot of men off duty are bending over a comic paper at a corner. The wary old trench dweller always likes a corner, because he can jump round it at the shortest notice and put a solid wall of earth between himself and anything noxious that drops in. On the other side, another group cheerfully appears that undying theme of debate the British soldiers—the meats and demerits of the salient at sea. How long was you at Wipers? "Four months." "Well, I was there five months; so what right have you to speak?" A general laugh greets this method of proof and someone else cuts in. Sentries Watch Germans. You meet officers anxious about nothing except to know what there is in the last English papers. Sentries on duty, with all the crowns of their grass-green steel helmets diced cunningly down to the parapet's level, report that nothing is stirring over the way. These helmets used to be ugly and not highly protective. They looked like the burber's basin that Don Quixote took to be a place of making of helmets, and also more virtuous. It covers more of the neck, though not so much as the blue-steel skull cups of the French, with their turned-down brims, and its lines are artistic. Worn at the proper angle, it makes the comely sentry look rather like Donatello's David at Florence. FIELD KITCHEN ON WHEELS Designed for Use on Border, Machine Will Cook for 100 Men—Many Being Made for Army. Philadelphia.—A field kitchen on wheels which bakes, roasts and fries food for 100 men, having been designed for use on the border, has been completed in this city and turned over to the Baldwin Locomotive works which contracted for its construction. THE BYSTANDER HARVEST OF PEACE CLOSE y harvest on the Somme, both in men. With stooping heads, the sentries report "nothing doing." That menus nothing rible, nothing audible. Peering over the perapet for a moment you see only a wilderness of bare earth, pitted thickly with conical holes from three to eight feet deep. Four hundred feet away is the skeleton of a dead village. No sign of life is to be seen there except perhaps one of the larks which sing cheerfully through cannonades that would make the pheasants in faraway Sussex nervous, or else a big hawk slowly quartering around and sending the larks into a retirement as modest as that of German air men. And yet you know that that waste is infested; that you need only to raise your head a foot higher to bring a bullet dipping itself with a quiet flock into the loose earth body you; that if you crawl over your stomach you reach the edge of the water you reached you would come at last to one in which men in wide-skirted gray tunnels with narrow bands round their caps were crouching, some of them nursing their one good friend, a machine gun, some of them digging hard to connect hole with hole till a row of fortuitous dots is turned into a line; some of them resting tucked into little cavities scooped in the earth into little the sides scooped in a quarry, and storing apprehensively up at bomb-aden British biplanes wheeling about in the sky overhead as the larks in the grass look up at a hawk. Kindness Surprises Captives. Knights Carpenter You know all this, because on the way up this morning you talked with a number of Prussian and axon prisoners in one of the sheds at the little inn, where the latest captives rest for some days out of range of their friends' heavy guns till they can be sent by train to the base or to England. Three days ago they came down broken-hearted to the cage, their faces lined and drawn with mental overstrain, some of them still mechanically making depreciatory gestures of surrender and entreaty. As they marched today all the lines were smoothed out. They had been fed and had slept for whole nights, and had found that the "murders" described to them by their own sergeants inflicted nothing but offers of cigarettes. So they began to expand in the unexpected sunshine of good treatment and they told what life had been like in the shellholes, its good points and its bad. The food, it had been good, but sometimes it did not come because the British guns would draw a kind of fence of fallen trapped across a piece of country, a sort of showpiece, so nobody lets dropping fire into the line without being hurt. Still the bread and meat and chocolate, when they did come, were good and the water was sometimes mineral water in bottles. The trouble was the British guns would not ceaseiring and the British aeroplanes would not go away, nor the German ones come out of their sheds. Sometimes the men in the shellhole would see British troops in the open within ridge range, but would not dare shoot lest British airmen should see where they were and send word to a British gun and bring down a high explosive shell on the old shellhole to bury them all alive by a second rear-arrangement of the earth. You perceive this apprehension just because you twice today have taken the end of a stiff black-booted leg pretending out of the wall of an old shellhole. Other questions about their life at the front the prisoners answered as freely. Had they talked politics? Yes, there were any number of Social Democrats in the army and every one thought great enough to be sent home was over, but not now. Were there any desertions? No. Many men would be glad to be prisoners, but would not desert. Many more still would surrender if the German soldiers were not so quick to shoot men who put up their hands, and if all the German soldiers knew that the allies did not kill prisoners nor have them scaled by savages. Those, then, are the kind of men, and that is the kind of life and state of mind which exist beyond the 300 intervening yards of blank ground. On It complies with United States army regulations and work on others has been undertaken. The new machine has no locomotive power, but is built to be attached to a motor truck.

Y. — Crooks using "poison gas" cigarettes blew smoke in his face until he became dizzy and dazed, and then robbed him of $200, says Nathan Naghygail, a shoemaker. some early day, perhaps, an incessant sequence of separate shell bursts among and around them at intervals will change in an instant into an outburst of furious, continuous barking like suddenly angered dogs, or that of a great many suddenly angered dogs. The earth of their trench and in front of it and behind it will begin to舞 up in fountains, like the surface of a paddle during a very heavy rain, only that all the earth fountains are 20 feet high. Perhaps the Germans will just be able to see through a hole in the smoke that the British parapet, where not a sign of human habitation had been seen before, bristles with men standing up at full height and then moving forward. In the next 20 minutes many capricious fates will befall individuals on both sides, but underly the same basic rules, the timelines of atomic-ausances will still be having their natural effects. The average German soldier, having endured defeat already, will fight less well than he did. His nerves have suffered the strain of those new experiences in the shellholes will hold out less long that they used to. His mind having learned that surrender into the hands of Englishmen does not mean death or ill usage, but merely released from danger and exhaustion, he will be less avene to surrender than he was. The German army naturally scored last year by being quicker than the allies to see that success in trench warfare was to the side with the most munitions. It made competition in munition making and it has been distanced in that competition, and now the wide advancing line of English infantry will enter the German trench, a trench shattered out of shape as no allied trench ever has been shattered. Even at Verdun causes will have their effects, though sometimes it may not seem like it. However long the war may yet last it has begun to have the character of a winding up. Even a minor English attack on the short length of trench near the Somme begins to be recognizable now as one of the many forms that have to be gone through one after another in liquidating a business that is clearly bankrupt. KAISER SWEATS AT HARVEST Cologne Volkszeitung Tells How the Emperor Worked in Shirtleeses With His Peasant Folk. Amsterdam.—The story of the kaiser working in the harvest fields is told by the Cologne Volkszeitung as follows: "Why do the people run? Why do they rush to the fields? To see the kaiser. It is between 5 and 7 in the evening. The laborers are busy loading their carts with sheaves. Suddenly all hands are idle; all caps are dotted; everybody stands againt. "The kaiser is coming. The all highest' is already on the spot! He takes off his coat! In his shirt sleeves the maiden imparts works in the field! He bends a hand to give for himself God's golden blessing. As the kaiser does, so do the high officials and officers. And look! Do you not see our imperial chancellor working? It is true!" It is he. "With surprise the spectators behold the *kusser wiping the sweat from his crew* with his sleeve. We see him sitting among the laborers drinking water from a common jug. Like a father he talks to the *children*. He asks them to run across the stubblefield and, laughing heartily at the *joyment of the children*, gives them little presents." Betrothed Become Widows. Geneva, Switzerland--Many young women in the Duchy of Baden betrothed to officers and soldiers killed in the war have taken advantage of a recent decree of the minister of justice that gives them practically the status of widows. They have adopted the names of their dead fiancés and call themselves "Mrs." They wear mourning and wedding rings and are known as widows. They wear a head-dress disdaining them from real widows. It is expected that this system will be extended to other German states. Four Generations Join Church In Japan devilish weighing up to 200 pounds are sometimes caught. The KITCHEN CABINET It is natural that we should obtain the thing we long for with all our hearts and persistently in our efforts, and should come to the earth when hurted into the air. The ambition, the desire, the long-lag, the hunger, the struggle toward the aim, the forces of great power, and bringing us the desired result.-O. Swett Marden. WILD FRUITS. Most of us for plain everyday use prefer the plain and common foods well prepared rather than explore in to the uncertain and uncommon unexpected dish is usually welcome. Salt and Pepper There are so many berries and small fruits that might be put up for winter use that are never thought of. One frugal woman an after putting up all the blueberries she felt that she could afford, washed and dried a bushel. These when soaked in water and sweetened make most delicious pies and sauce and have kept perfectly four years or as long as they are not used. It is necessary to carefully dry them and put them into paper sacks or bags that are dust and insect proof. Wild grapes are the greatest of roadside prizes and many are the ways they may be preserved for the winter table. For green grape jam, pick the grapes just before they begin to turn. Halve and seed them if you want a delicious converse and mix equal parts of sugar and vinegar. A few part of these will so delight your friends that you will forget the labor of preparing them. For jelly, wait until they are beginning to turn, then you will have a most beautiful color. If too ripe the jelly is not nearly as good in color and may lack the peetin found in the greener grapes. Siped grapes make another way of varying this delicious fruit; use this when you are serving venison, and be thankful for such favors. When everything else has been done with grapes that you can think of, put up a few bushels in the form of grape juice. No more delicious drink can be offered the parched and tired traveler than a glass of grape juice with tinkling ice. The elderberry is another fruit that need not be overlooked. Make a pie and add a bit of vinegar or a few green grapes to the pie to give it zest and you will surely make another very soon. If you want knowledge you must toil for it, if pleasure you must toil for it. Toll is law. Pleasure comes through toil, not by self-indulgence and indulgence. When one gets to love SOUR CREAM FOR COOKING Most of us have too little cream to every worry over using sour cream, for it usually does not last long enough to become sour. On the farm, however, there is often small amounts left in the cans after being brought from the creamery and this, if saved, amounts to quite an item in the food line. Very delicious ice cream may be made from sour last long enough to become sour. On the farm, however, there is often small amounts left in the cans after being brought from the creamery and this, if saved, amounts to quite an item in the cold line. Very delicious ice cream may be made from sour cream as well as from sour milk and fruit juices. Of course, by using sour fruit juices the acidity of the cream is not noticed. **Salad Dressing.**—Mix a cupful of sour cream, a half cupful of vinegar and water, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, a tablespoonful of mustard, a teaspoonful of salt, paprika to taste, a half teaspoonful of cinnamon, a tablespoonful of flour, and a tablespoonful of butter with the yolks of four eggs. Cook all together, then add the butter and cream. If the cream is whipped and added in when the dressing is cold it will be much lighter and delicate. Johnny Cake.—Take a tablespoonful of butter, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, a half teaspoonful of salt, one egg, a cupful of sour cream, a cupful of cornmeal, a cupful of flour, and a teaspoonful of soda; mix as usual and bake in a hot oven. Sour Cream Cookies.—Add two cupfuls of sugar to half a cupful of softened butter, two eggs beaten, and a cupful and a half of sour cream, a teaspoonful and a half of soda, and a teaspoonful of grated orange peel or lemon. Flour to roll soft. If the flour is added and kept on ice for a white it will roll with much less flour and the cookies will be more tender. Steamed Brown Bread.—Take a cupful of white flour, a cupful of sour milk, a cupful of sour cream, a half cupful of molasses, one and a fourth teaspoonful of soda and a half a teaspoonful of salt; mix and steam three hours. Risins may be added if liked, and a few nuts are an improvement. Gonge Cake.—Beat the yolks of six eggs until thick, add a cupful of sugar gradually, using the egg beater, add a tablespoonful of lemon juice, rind of half a lemon, a pinch of salt, and the whites carefully folded in after being beaten stiff; before the Route of the Bee According to a well-known aplarist, if a bee finds a suitable patch of flowers by following a signag course of exploration it will seek it again by the same devious route, and not in a straight line from the nest. Thus he found that certain bees coming to visit a hollyhock in his garden always came over the wall some 25 yards to one side of the flower instead of directly opposite. They were following the devious route by which they had first found the flower. yolks and whites are well mixed add the flour and fold that in carefully. Bake an hour in an angel cake pan, or in a sheet. The next best thing to understanding the whole thing of any subject, is to be aware of the pan of it we do not understand. Whately. OVER THE KITCHEN TABLE A bright progresses woman the other day put into words, something that has bothered many a housewife in this age of "up to the minute recipes." She was speaking of the great value obtained from the articles written for the housewife but concluded by say- a housewife in this age of "up to the minute recipes." She was speaking of the great values obtained from the articles written for the housewife but concluded by saying "they either come so early in the season that we cut them out and lose them, or they are published after such foods are out of season." Right here it is well to plan a system of curing for such recipes, and finally beDEXed where you may lay your hand upon them in the moment of need. Most of our publications these days make it important that all recipes should be published at a time when they can be used at once. Some women do their work three times, in anticipation, in realization, and in retrospection. It is wise to plan work well, but after it is done let it be done and improve on the next piece of work if possible. Men as a rule are not nervous and unstruc; more women than men break down with nerves. One reason is that a woman's work has more of small details, she is often called on in emergencies, and her work is "powerful constant." Under many people realize that it is the work they don't do that wears on the nerves. One may by constant application train the mind to go when it is time to rest, not turn things over all night with tired unstruc mind and body, making a new day a torture. It takes much more ability to inspire and get work out of others than to be a great worker oneself. The first is a commander, the other, one in the ranks. Cultivate the ability of getting work out of others, especially the young people. They need the training and you need the help. Young children will work happily with company, but cannot be expected at first to take tasks alone and enjoy doing them. If the onion bed needs weeding or the cellar or wood shed needs attention, get all hands together and make quick work of it, for many hands do make light work. Be kind to those about you. It costs you little or nothing and is the best investment you can make. The returns will come back in compound interest your household, even your fees, will respond to kindness.-J. W. Chapman. EMERGENCY ROLL. Delicious little rolls are these and may be served as such or in various forms as bread sticks to serve with soup or salad, or take the place of cake, and which are easily made, as they leavened with baking powder, so may be prepared in a hurry. Sift four cupuits of pastry flour and measure four cupuits. If bread flour is used subtract two tu to serve with soup or salad, or take the place of cake, and which are easily made, as they are leavened with baking powder, so may be prepared in a hurry. Sift four cupfuls of pastry flour and measure four cupfuls. If bread flour is used subtract two tablespoonfuls from each cup, or, better, take but three and a half cupfuls of bread flour. The pastry flour makes a more delicate product and is a little more expensive flour. Add two teaspoonfuls of salt, one tablespoonful of sugar and four teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Still together. Cut this four tablespoonful of bread butter, using two case knives, in each hand; then moisten with one and a third cupfuls of milk. This amount may vary a little, as flour varies in moisture. Lard and water may be substituted for the butter and milk, but at a sacrifice of delicacy. Cinnamon Rolls—Roll out a portion of this dough until a half-inch thick, then brush with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixed, or nutmeg and sugar, using brown sugar for a change in flavor; roll up and cut in slices two-thirds of an inch in thickness. Place the rolls on a baking sheet as much space between them as their own diameter, as they swell in all directions. Bake in a hot oven. For maple rolls prepare them in the same way, substituting maple sugar for the white or brown. Honey and lemon peeling grated is another flavor well liked. Most delicious pin wheels are made by using various kinds of fruit and spices, mixed and sprinkled over the cereal roll. Dates, figs, raisins and nuts are mixed in combination with spice, orange peel, lemon peel, cherries and any kind of preserved fruit may be used to vary this little cake. Bake as above. Nellie Maxwell Hint for Bachelors. "Since I have given my best thought to the problem I have not found it especially difficult to take care of my sister-in-law's two-year-old baby while she goes shopping," said the bachelor brother-in-law. "For a time, until I mastered the subject, I must confer that it had me considerably obfuscated. But now I merely put the dear little fellow under a tub, weighted down so that by no possibility can he overset it, and then go out to the barb and read and smoke in peace."—Judge CONSTRUCTED IN RUSTIC DESIGN Type of Bungalow Which Will at Once Appeal to the Be-holder. BEST PLACED ON WIDE LOT For the Most Artistic Effects the Sur roundings Should Be as Close to Nature as Possible—Lawn Always a Matter of Importance. BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is without doubt highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. In the bungalow, more than in any other type of house, there is the possibility of producing effects which will meet the desire of a person whose mind is definitely set upon some novel feature which is to predominate throughout the scheme of architecture employed in the house design. There is such an endless array of little tricks which may be brought into play for the purpose of establishing distinctiveness in each particular bungalow design that it is a radical mind which cannot find satisfaction in one of the many combinations of details which are at the disposal of the designer. Since the designer of bungalows is not hampered, in the true type, by the necessity of tucking rooms under the roof or of providing a large attic space 6805 6805 A Happy Combination of Details. —since the old-fashioned attic seems to be dying a slow but certain death in almost any type of house design—the roof may be used to express any one of a number of ideas. The fundamental hip and gable types may be variously modified and combined with one another and with several types of dormers. A number of roofing materials offer a further variation in appearance. A great variety of building materials are open for selection. The walls of the house may be given many pleasing finishing touches both in color and character of surface. It remains, then, for the architect to find the proper combination of all the possibilities which exist, in order to match the picture formed as an image in the mind of the home-builder. One of the styles which have been established in bungalow design, and one which makes a strong appeal to a great many people, is the rustic type. This type embodies the infusion of the architecture of nature into the architecture of man. It implies the use of some natural building material applied in such a way that the suggestion of the big out-of-doors surrounds the home. The purpose is absolutely de SLEEPING PORCH 12' x 10' BED ROOM 12' x 10' BED ROOM 14' x 10' BATH 9' x 6' REAR PORCH 20' x 10' DEN BED ROOM 10' x 10' PANTRY KITCHEN 16' x 10' LIVING ROOM 13' x 10' DINING ROOM 15' x 10' PORCH 15' x 10' feated if such a house is built on a narrow lot. A wide lot upon which sufficient time and effort have been spent to adapt it to the house is necessary for the full realization of the advantages of this design. Shrubs, vines, trees and flower beds must be placed with care and selected with a purpose to harmonize with the color scheme of the bungalow. The rustic bungalow is seen in its most appropriate frame when it is placed on a small country estate where the natural growth of trees may be taken advantage of in laying out the lawn. The little bungalow shown in the illustration is an attractive example of the rustic type. The architect had found a happy combination of details in this design and the result is shown in both the exterior appearance and in the arrangement of rooms. Large cobblestone pillars give the front of the house a unique appearance. The chimney carries out the idea very effectively. The low roof is a combined slip and gable type with exposed supports, well adapted to this type of house. The pergola effect of the porch, with the pleasing decorative ends of the timbers carried through the design, even to the decoration faced on Floor Plan. the short column at the corner of the house, adds a great dent to the general attractiveness of the little home. The gable is decorated with wide boards or siding strips which have a decorative design cut in each board. Many details of finish have been worked out in a way which gives this little rustic bungalow an appearance rather different from the ordinary. In the room arrangement and attention to interior details the same thoroughness has been observed. The living room is entered from the front porch. This room has a large fireplace, flanked with bookcases, built along the side wall. The fireplace may be made in any way which is suited to the style of finish that is decided upon for this room. A very striking and artistic effect may be secured by building the fireplace of cobblestones such as are used in the construction of the exterior chimney and pillars at the front of the house. The combination of the living room with the little den is a very attractive arrangement. If the den is to be used at times as a spare bedroom, a sliding door may be built between it and the living room. It will, of course, be more attractive with just a cased opening between the two rooms. The many windows in this little nook will make it like a sun parlor and consequently a part of the house which will, perhaps, be used more than any other. The dining room is a front room open to the living room. The buffet is built against the wall opposite the opening of the living room and may be seen from the other side of the house. A double-acting door leads to the kitchen. This room is square, well lighted and pleasant. It is equipped with cupboards and a sink; the rear entry and pantry form two annex rooms which may be used to help very materially in performing the tasks associated with this part of the house. A hall extends back from the living room through the center of the house. A closet, the pantry, the cellar stairs, the bathroom, two bedrooms and the sleeping porch all may be entered from this hall. The sleeping porch is a THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CENTER feature in home construction which is becoming more popular all the time. Many people who live in older houses feel that the sleeping porch is one of the modern fads which will soon disappear, but anyone who has lived in a house which includes a sleeping porch in its room arrangement will not consider a house which does not include one in its design. It cannot be disputed that an abundance of good fresh air is an absolute necessity to restful slumber. There are seven large windows in the sleeping porch at the rear of this rustic bungalow, and this assures a condition as near the limit of real out-of-doors as it is necessary to come. The interior is entirely in keeping with modern ideas in home design. Convenience and comfort have been the strong outstanding factors in the design, and worked in with these is the effort to make this house as healthful a home as it is possible to provide, from the standpoint of the architect. At the same time a lucky combination of details has rendered it very attractive from an artistic standpoint. Imaginary Husbands for Girls. An extremely, practical popular course in home economics has been established at Leland Stanford university by Dr. Jessica Peixoto. Each girl takes an imaginary husband, with a stipulated income, furnishes a home for him, feeds him, takes care of imaginary children, settles all domestic problems, and must come out at the end of the course on the right side of the balance sheet. They are being taught to live within an average income and to live wisely. It is said that the young men of Leland Stanford are busy applying for positions as "imaginary husbands". They appear perfectly willing to be experimented upon in the way of cooking. But when it comes to keeping up home expenses they are willing to let the game remain imaginary. Let Them All Come! Said a North Carolina minister, Rev. A. C. Hamby, the other day: "The old-time minister helped to build this nation, first, by a fine personality and a fine life; second, by building a home that sent out sons and daughters with characters like his own; and, third, by an active interest in schools and culture." There are old-time ministers living today and they are helping in the same way to keep the nation in the right paths. But the whole country would be glad of a wholesale addition to their ranks. The nation needs more of their rank.—Houston Post. "Mike," said Ploddling Pete, "what would you do if you had a million dollars?" "I dunno," answered Meandering Mike.

Stream of Gaseous Substance Flows Into Deepest Recesses, Killing All Microbes—Horrors of Dressing Wounds Eliminated. London.—Bundages are eliminated in the latest methods of healing obstinate wounds here. This is one of the marvelous developments of surgery to which the war has given impetus. One of the horrors of hospitals is dressing wounds. Strong, brave men scream involuntarily with pain every day when the bandages are removed and the wounds treated. At Queen Alexandra's military hospital today several patients were exhibited undergoing the new treatment. Two of these men were most severely wounded in September of last year, and for ten months had been treated in the customary way without any sign of healing. On August 2 they were brought to this hospital, the bandages were flung away, the wounds were subjected to repeated applications of a stream of ozone, being lightly covered with a loose layer of lint in the intervals, and in four days healing was in rapid progress. This treatment is simplicity itself. Oxygen passes from a reservoir into an electrical machine which converts it into ozone; the ozone flows out through a fine metal tube. The machine is wheeled close to the patient's bed, the wound uncovered, and a stream of the microbe-killing ozone flows into the deepest recesses. No painful dragging off of bandages, no rebundaging of the limb to hurt and exhaust the patient. New Treatment a Success. Here was seen a soldier who had lost his right foot, with a stump covered with skin so healthy and hard that he could walk upon it, a surgical marvel. What might be called the open-air treatment of wounds has come to stay. At the Herbert hospital is a soldier with a bad compound fracture of the leg. The limb is not swathed in many yards of bandages as was the custom, but lies between sandbags to secure immobility and is covered only with a single layer of lint. The lint is kept constantly wet with peroxide of hydrogen. Surrounding the leg is a large cage covered with a sheet of thin butter muslin, so that the wound is continually refreshed by a free current of air. Extremely rapid healing and freedom from the agony of manipulation are the great gains from this mode of treatment. The whirlpool bath is entirely a war invention, from which excellent results in cases of stiff joints have been obtained in France. It consists of a small oblong bath, filled with water which is kept in continuous movement by a miniature propeller revolved at a very high speed by means of an electric motor. A stiff arm or leg, hand or foot, placed in the bath and kept there for some time is much improved by the stimulus of the running, water. Marvelous examples of bone carpentry are to be seen, such as the transference of a large piece of bone from the leg to fill a gap in the arm bone or jaw. Trench foot is being more or less successfully treated by massage, operation, and other methods. After the Surgeon the Masseur. All sorts of joint injuries go to Hammersmith hospital, and there, as well as at other hospitals, is to be seen a collection of ingenious exercises for restoring mobility. When the surgeon has done all that he can the patient goes to the masters and the exercisers. If his wrist is stiff he twists a bar with graduated resistance; if he cannot fully close his hand he grasps a thick bar and turns it, passing on to thinner and thinner bars as the hand GRIZZLY KILLS MAN IN PARK Yellowstone Freighter, Asleep, Partly Eaten Before Hungry Bear Could Be Driven From Victim. Cody, Wyo.—Details of the killing of Jack Welch, a freighter, by a bear in Yellowstone park several days ago have been brought here by arrivals from the park. Welch and another man were sleeping beneath a wagon and a third man was asleep on top of the wagon when a grizzly bear seized. improves; the patient with a stiff knee is put to exercise on stationary bicycle; others, according to the nature and situation of the defect, practice rowing, climbing ladders, pulling on weighted ropes; and with these curative exercises is combined massage, with electric treatment, and other remedies.

THREE DAYS IN THE JUNGLE Escape From a Lion by Climbing a Tree—Three of His Ribs Broken When Machine Is Brought Down. London.—Tales of adventure from the jungles of South Africa, where General Smuts is operating against the Germans, are not uncommon, but it is seldom that the wild events encountered by Capt. A. T. O'Brien of the Royal Flying corps, told here, have been equaled. The details of his adventures were contained in a letter from his wife to relatives in England and have just become public. It is probable that O'Brien will be decorated for his services to the British government and in recognition of his hardiness in surviving an ordeal that would have meant death to the average soldier. He reported to General Snuts last April far down in German Africa below Konnion Irangi. His work as an aerial scout ahead of the British troops operating against the Germans won him fame. Flying over the jungles and tangled brush country during the rainy season is difficult. When an army of vigilant enemies is added, the task becomes more than dangerous. The intrepid Irishman finally engaged on the losing side of an argument with enemy anti-aircraft guns. His Machine Brought Down. He was flying over jungle country when German guns located him. One of his wings collapsed and the machine side slipped into the trees, which partially broke the fall, then crashed to the ground. Had it not been for the trees both driver and machine would have been smashed to bits. As it was, three of O'Brien's ribs were crushed and for several hours he lay in a swamp-unconscious. Slowly he recovered his senses and took an inventory of his injuries. He could walk without difficulty, but when he swung his arms, the broken ribs hurt cruelly. Holding his arms tight to his sides, he scouted through the neighboring jungles, where he discovered unmistakable signs of the enemy. Later, he heard a column of infantry approaching, and fearing capture he set fire to the necroplane and dashed off through the underbrush. Hour after hour he maintained a fast pace with the pain in his side increasing with every step. When night fell he crawled high into a vine-covered tree. Sound sleep was impossible, but at intervals between fighting insects and making way for jungle creepers he managed to rest and in a rough way bandage up his injured side. With dawn he started out again, and before noon had forced two rivers and swam a third. Toward nightfall of the second day he came to a river of considerable width, with a swift current and signs of crocodiles. By this time his hunger and thirst were beginning to sap his strength, but without thought of his condition or the danger he faced, he plunged into the brackish water. Welch, dragged him from beneath the wagon and began to eat him alive. Welch's screams awakened the other men, one of whom promptly fled. The second man, although without arms, in accordance with the park regulations, went to the rescue of Welch discuring the bear's attention by throwing it chunks of bacon. The bear abandoned Welch for the bearer and while it devoured the bear Welch's companion dugger, also dug. Shortly after the attack, and while the bean still was smuggled with the dier's worst trench enemies in cold weather. About ten million doses of these vaccines have been sent out from Milwaukee wall since the war began. Among them is a most valuable mixed vaccine which gives protection from both typhoid and the two forms of paratyphoid fever. This has been in use since January last. Quite new, since the war began, are the measures taken for discovering whether anyone who comes in contact with soldiers is carrying the infection of spotted fever at the back of his nose, for, although himself quite free from the disease, such a carrier might create an epidemic in a camp. At the first splash a score of huge "croc" on a point of land down stream made for him. There followed a race between the mancaters and the quarry that nearly ended disastrously for the Irishman. The last few yards were heartbreaking, for as he glanced back over his shoulder he could see the yawning mouths and ridges of jagged teeth straining to reach him. As he scrambled up the muddy bunk he heard a dozen vicious snaps. Almost exhausted, he trudged through the tangled brush near the river. Gaining a point on some higher ground, he looked back at the scene of his escape. To his horror, he saw the shaggy mane of a lion, which was coming toward him with nose glued to his trail. The nearest place of safety was a tall tree, which he climbed, monkey fashion. The king of the forest nosed about the tree for some time, whining in disappointment over his lost meal, but eventually he went his way. By this time O'Brien was well-night exhausted. His clothes were torn and his flesh incrusted by the brush. The pain of his wounds produced a high fever, and the brackish water which he was forced to drink made him ill. All night long he staggered on, but he remember little after sundown of the second day. Toward nine o'clock day after his disappearance a sentry fur out ahead of the British lines saw a movement in the brush and thought an animal had sirayed near. He raised his gun to fire, when a human hand was raised above a cluster of brush, Auzmed, the sentry went forward, and there found O'Brien half crazed with thirst, soaked with 140 and covered with blood from scores of slight cuts. His wife, to whom he had been married but a few weeks before he left for South Africa, had left England to join him before he was reported missing. ' When he recovered from the fever and opened his eyes for his first conscious look at his surroundings his wife was sitting by his side, having arrived in the meantime, and nursed him through the critical illness. ONE BEETLE A GAS FIGHTER It Seems Nature Discovered Value of Poison Fumes in War Before the Soldiers in Europe Did. London. The discovery of poison as gas seems to have been anticipated in nature's laboratory. A little British beetle has been employing poison gas to defend itself for unfold ages. One of the strongholds of the Bombardier beetle (Brachinus crepitans) is along the shores of the Thames in the Gravesend district. Here it finds a home under the flat stones that are scattered by the river's bank. The Bombardier beetle is very liable to be attacked by some of the fierce ground beetles, or Carabidae, as they are properly called. As soon as the pursuer draws close a very remarkable happens. First of all the Bombardier beetle ejects a peculiar liquid which, when it comes into contact with the atmosphere "bursts into a sort of a pale blue-green flame, followed by a kind of smoke." This is seen to have an astonishing effect upon the pursuing beetle. Instantly it seems to be overwhelmed and quite stupefied by the suddenness of the attack. The smoke appear, to have a blinding and suffocating tendency, and the effect lasts for a minute so. During this time the Bombardier beetle is able to make good its escape.

ROSE Francis Scott Key Rose—the Flowers Are Unusually Large. Huge Linden Located on the Outskirts of Staffolstie, Nassau, glad to Be 900 Years Old. BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN. There is absolutely nothing in the realm of esthetic culture that is so thoroughly dominated by personal favor as the selection of a pet rose. Every lover of the garden and of the home beautiful selects a favorite rose almost as soon as the interest of flower culture is born. I have been much interested in the season's favorites and the reasons given by rose enthusiasts for their likes and dislikes. They offer to the student and the cultist valuable hints in the care and selection of any favorite, because what one may find as an argument for his pet blossom may be equally true in any number of cases and many of my readers may be able readily to meet the claims advanced by others and find equal merit for their own selections. The delicate formation, coloring and perfume of the rose all combine to make its study especially worth while. Intelligent choice of a favorite often marks the flower-lover as gifted—and Y Ophelia Roses. a selection that does not follow popular fancy always reveals an amateur who is not superficial. For instance, the enthusiasts are now experimenting with the Gruss aus Teplitz, a lovely hybrid plant, to find out how well it will stand the winter in northern climates. Personally, I think that the rose is sufficiently hardy to stand anything save an unusually cold zone. It has the advantage, too, of being a prolific producer of blooms. From May until November the calder of the pretty tea rose is rarely without some sweet evidence of the possession. It can be planted in the sunshine or in the shade, under hanging trees or in the open, and a little severe pruning in the early spring is about all that the delicate rose demands. There is something in the rose that binds the present to the past, and one feels like the owner of a rare old bit of period furniture when it forms part of the garden. Those who do not believe the ancient adage that every rose must have its thorns are showing much partiality this year for the Paul Neyron. Every month it produces its flowers, with the blossoms on long stems and leaves of a beautiful dark green. If cut when in bud, the flowers have a remarkable lasting quality. As I said, it is almost thornless, and its flower develops nearly every shade of pink. It needs little save proper planting in soil free from weeds and fertilizing with old manure. Harrison's Yellow, an Austrian brier, is also one of the favorite flowers of this season's cultisterns. It is a sturdy member of the rose family, possessing the hardiness that makes such an appeal to the rose lower. Harrison's Yellow is no pampered child of luxury. It "just grows up," like Topsy. If it has the least chance. The buds of clear, yellow begin to show in May. The foliage is fine and small, with a pleasing green. A lazy man or woman ought to adore the type, for it needs practically no pruning, unless one wishes to lifth the growth. The flowers are put forth on wood of the previous season, so that if pruning is to be done at all, it ought to be done only after flowers. The Killarney rose is also being given a prominent place in the year's planting. Its freedom from disease and from insects commend it to many of the best growers, and the pink-and-white flowers have an odor of wonderful character. They should be set out in the spring as soon as the danger of frost, is over. Dig a hole two feet square by two feet deep, place a few stones at the bottom for drainage, and then fill with good soil, mixed with well-rotted manure. If large roses are wanted, cut the buds so that only a few remain. Cutting the long stems improves the plant. After thorough blooming, prune back freely, and the bush will remain healthy and will increase in size. They require covering before the frost appears. THE BIGGEST GERMAN TREE The German empire has produced many things that have held records for magnitude but none of them hold more interest than the empire's biggest tree. It is a huge laden located on the outskirts of the village of Stafelfstein, in Bavaria. The folklore and history of the region say that the tree is five hundred years old. The authorities have filled the hollow interior with cement to strengthen and preserve the landmark. It is 80 feet in circumference. During the Napoleonic invasion of Germany it is related that the French Marshal Berthier rode his horse into the hollow of the tree and turned the animal around there. MACOON, M. NEWS.

It seems, though, to hear some people talk that life is made up of all dull moments, that enjoyment is something which can be realized only with a million dollars and time to waste. It may be that some people are obsessed with the idea that happiness and enjoyment are to come with a heaven which necessitates a death to realize. PETER B. Every moment of life should be fraught with joy, happiness and the realization of well performed tasks. Every man and woman ought to see the beauties of trees, which not only furnish limbs for swings for little folks, but furnish shade for cattle upon a thousand hills, homes and places of enjoyment for birds and squirrels; we stand in the presence of a wonderful laboratory when we behold the trees, they change the chemical constituents of the air and mysteriously attract food from the air and earth for man and other animals. In winter there is a gorgeous spectacle of the limbs sparkling myriads of icicles, or covered with hoary frost. What grander sight than that of the ever shifting panorama of the heavens above? The billowy clouds grotesquely taking every shape and furnishing entertainment for the imagination. All children like to play with the varying shapes, where they see fairies and all the beasts of mythology and Biblical lore. Then when the night settles and the wind driven clouds play across the face of the moon one forgets the cares of the world, to view with awe and reverence, till the "for-get-me-not of the angels" make one feel in tune with the infinite. There is a sense in which every pretty girl, every lovely woman should expect to transmit to all beholders, without exception, feelings of happiness, joy, elation and on all a plane as pure as the lily and as lucid as the moonbeam. Every cunning baby, every artless child should fill our hearts with gladness which no paid performer can simulate. Those who are so poor in the quality of enjoyment that they hope some day to have time to enjoy life are missing the gigantic spectacle of existence which is staged by Creation—without money and without price. Whoseover has thrilled with the wonder of the young of any species, whatsoever, who ever has looked upon beautiful and different, and heard the singing of the birds, their good night a beautiful sunset, and all of them are songs of love, and felt that mysterious inexpressible sensation of his myriads of ancestors craving for expression; whoseover has watched the stars blossom upon that sapphire field, and like David of old contemplated upon Him "in the night watches"; whoseover has felt the sublime sensation of knowing that he has met the One who is more precious than his own soul—who ever has done these things has lived. A thousand years and millions of money cannot make one live more; and this is all there is in life. This is the Midsummer Night's Dream for everyone to live in and enjoy. SIOUX CITY, IOWA Rev. E. R.

Ten Reasons Why You Should Send For Brooks Rupture Appliance 1. It is absolutely the only Appliance of the kind on the market today, and it is the only one that inventors have sought after for years. 2. The Appliance for retaining the rupture cannot be thrown out of position. 3. Being an air cushion of soft rubbish is always good, but yet never blisters or causes irritation. 4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads, in the case of cases, it is not cumbersome or ungangly. 5. It is small, soft and pliable, and pads cannot be detected through the clothing. 6. The soft, pliable bands holding the Appliance do not give one the unanticipated sensation of wearing a hairiness. 7. There is nothing about it to go for and when it becomes soiled it can be washed without injuring it the least. 8. There are no metal springs to the Appliance, so by cutting and bruising the flesh. 9. All the material of which the Appliance is built best that money can buy, making it a durable and safe Appliance to wear. 10.
