VOTE W. L. H. Republican Candid THE MISSING MAN VOTE FOR W. L. HARDING Republican Candidate for Governor Election November 7th, 1916. Buxton, Iowa, Oct. 25, 1916: Hon. W. L. Harding, Next Governor of Iowa, Sioux City, Iowa. My Dear Governor Harding: I beg to assure you that I have seen the circular or pamphlet purporting to have been gotten out against you by some "leading colored men" of Iowa, stating in substance that you are an enemy to the colored citizens of this state and that you framed and promoted and tried to have the objectionable "Secret Order Bill" of 1909 passed against our interest and therefore urging all colored voters of Iowa to vote against you and for a democrat to be the next governor of this state. As the oldest colored member of the Iowa State Bar association and as a member of the legislative committee, charged with the duty of watching and trying to prevent hostile legislation against the colored citizens of Iowa, I have known you intimately for years, personally and officially, and I have at all times found you not only fair but friendly to the best interest of the colored citizens of this state. that I have set forth about this "bill" just as came to me and as I unat the time. But if you censured for a mistake promptly corrected and why should not be supported for the faithful services you have colored people of this state test against the many hating bills that came. Thirty-fifth general assaigned pernicious Miller bill, we carried over into the Thirty-eighth general assembly of 1915 of our committee knows always count on your he against each and every bills. You said to me open in the presence of the coyou did not believe in a tion against us and your power to prevent legislation against the zens of Iowa." If men wish to be h No one in a northern state, unacquainted with the artful, deceptive and misleading wordings and methods of southern democrats in their trained and skillful efforts to discriminate against colored people. But the word ever seen or guessed that there was anything wrong with the "Secret Order Bill." There was not a line, word or syllable on the face of the bill against colored people. But hte wording of it was like the "Grandfather's Clause," the separate "Jim-Crow" acts and segregation ordinances, framed to outlaw our secret societies and especially the "colored Elks." This bill was a copy of the ebill introduced and passed by the democrats of Georgia to destroy the organization of colored Elks in that state and it had that effect and ruined them there and caused all northern Elks of color to change or modify the name of their organization from "B. P. O. E." to "I. B. P. O. E." Think then of the audacity of urging intelligent colored voters to support a democrat and oppose you because of this bill? I had read the Georgia bill and knew its history and purpose. And so when this bill appeared in our legislature, I was the very first man to detect its danger and start opposition. --- against it. As soon as you understood its purpose and nature you assured me through my representative, Hon. Thomas Hickenlooper, of Albia, Monroe county, Iowa, that the bill had been casually handed to you printed in due form by a constituent on yours with the request that you introduce it as a good measure to protect all secret societies from unworthy delinquents and imposters. And it reads: "A bill for an act to protect benevolent, humane, fraternal or charitable corporations in the use of their names and emblems and providing penalties for the violation thereof." I was engaged in the trial of a case at Albia at the time I received the copy of the bill and before I got your message I had written and telegraphed many ministers and members of our secret societies and had sent out quite a few letters. That same day I had phoned my law partner at Des Moines to take active charge of the campaign in the legislature against the bill and the next day I received notice from him that no further efforts would be made to pass the bill. Wilson administration than they have ever known since the great civil war. The sectional and recital hatred fostered and multiplied by this administration has already set the American wheel of progress back a hundred years and God only knows what four more years of this nofarious rule would bring forth. Certainly no self-respecting colored citizen could wish for its continuance. I again say that nothing could do more to give prestige to the national democratic administration than the election of a democratic governor in the great state of Iowa. God forbid that such a calamity should befall us. I am praying and working for your election, and I urge all loyal colored citizens to support you and the entire republican ticket. Very truly yours.

But if you are to be censured for a mistake which you so promptly corrected and remedied, why should you not be praised and supported for the faithful and valuable services you have rendered to the colored people of this state in our protest against the many southern racehating bills that came into the 1913 Thirty-fifth general assembly and the pernicious Miller bill, which was also carried over into the Thirty-sixth general assembly of 1915? Every man of our committee knows that we could always count on your helpful influence against each and every one of these bills. You said to me openly and plainly in the presence of the committee that you did not believe in any discrimination against us and would do all in your power to prevent any hostile legislation against the "colored citizens of Iowa." If men wish to be honorable and fair, why not tell the whole truth about your fairness towards our people and then "take the money," or whatever compensation they are getting or ejecting to get for asking colored voters of Iowa to stab a friend in the back to elect a democrat? In the face of the "Wilson administration" and its wholesale outrages against the self-respect of all colored citizens of these United States I say no self-respecting colored voter of this country anywhere can cast a vote this year that will add prestige or influence and power to a "democratic administration." So I wish you to know that above all other things in Iowa politics at this time, I desire your election to the governorship. The election of a democratic governor in a great republican state like Iowa would give added injury to the best interests of the country at large by placing this state in accord with the baneful influence of the present democratic administration at Washington which is destroying the prestige of our great and good country all over the world. A great many loyal foreign born citizens and all the colored citizens of the United States, at home and in foreign lands have suffered more humiliation, shame and outrage under the VOTE FOR E. T.

A. A. of C., held at the Union Congregational church, which was crowded to the doors. The meeting was presided over by the president of the local, Atty. S. Joe Brown, who introduced Miss Freeman of New York, the girl who went clear down to Texas to view the ground where that terrible lynching of that little colored boy took place, and it was that (white) lady who took the picture and wrote the story which appeared in the last month's Crisis and nearly all of our colored weeklies. Two other able white women spoke, but Miss Freeman was the most eloquent of them all. It was one of the finest appeals for true Negro manhood that you seldom hear from a white lady. She says that any Negro who would vote for Wilson is a traitor to his race. BUXTON, IOWA. The Hurst Comedy company played a full house Monday night.

In many re- spects this commonwealth is one of the greatest and most unique states in ONE—Bystander— the sisterhood of states. Her industries are so diversified that you could close her up to herself and she could clothe and feed her millions of people without aid from the outside of her own border. She raises hogs, cattle, horses, sheep, mules, chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese. She grows corn, oats, wheat, rye, potatoes, pumpkins, melons and nearly all known cereals. She has her own apples, peaches, grapes, plums, cherries, etc. She has rabbits, squirrels, opossums, coons, wolves, foxes, etc. She mines iron, coal, stone. She has her schools, colleges, universities, etc. She has her own manufactures, factories and work shops. She has her own commercial clubs and industrial clubs. She has her own mountains, lakes, rivers and great springs and health resorts. Hence I know of nothing to say that she needs, for she has more good looking women and girls and young men than any state that I have yet seen, for it was here in Missouri that I got my wife. It was this state that my father and mother came from. It is this state that ye editor delivered his first public oration on Emancipation day, when I was only 17 years old, and later taught my first public school in Holt county. Therefore I have a very warm feeling to the "show me" state. Our first stop was in Hannibal, which is one of Missouri's oldest towns. We did not stop here only a few hours, so we did not observe here. We next stopped in Paris, a town of about 2,000 people of which 400 are colored. The colored people have a nice new four-room brick building with two teachers, Prof. W. E. Donaldson, assisted by Miss Berry. Both are experienced and well qualified. Mrs. B. Lasley is a successful and highly respected citizen. Mr. Geo. Berry, Sr., owns valuable property and is one of the oldest and influential race men. Mrs. M. C. Crump is a highly respected citizen. Her only daughter is attending Lincoln Institute. We next stopped at Macon City, a beautiful city of about 5,000 people, of which 1,000 are colored. There were two churches, the A.M. Church, flat, each doing their own one college, the Western college, which was established here nearly a quarter of a century ago by HOL. Enos L.

Garnett and this year Dr. Garnett is succeeded by Prof. Inman E. Page of the State Normal college of Langston, Oka., who formerly lived in this state, and was principal of Lincoln Institute. Prof. Page comes back to Missouri a true and seasoned educator, by virtue of his many years' experience as an educator he ought to make things hum around old Western college. He subscribed for the Bystander and we wish him much success here. Our old friend, Prof. Perkins, is still principal of the school. He has two assistants. Mr. John Adams is quite sick.

Our city was visited by a severe snow storm on the 19th inst. and fully one inch of snow fell, which has not entirely gone yet. Between 300 and 400 people greeted Harry T. Burleigh in a song recital at Pilgrim Baptist church on the 19th inst., despite the inclementy of the weather. Mr. Burleigh was suffering with a cold, which greatly affected his singing, much to the disappointment of his audience. He was compelled to cut short his program, but taking everything into consideration the program was very good. Mr. R. Piermon underwent an operation at the city hospital last week for appendicitis and is resting easy at this writing. I. Mrs. Irene Harris sane very beautifully, at Pilgrim Baptist church Sunday at the garden. J. Pick out so invitations to a double birthday party in honor of Misses Nellie Cloak and Grace Wills, who are sweet 18 at Union hall on the 27th of this month. Mrs. Jos.

Rev. T. B. Stovall of Minneapolis presected at 3 o'clock. Rev. Bess of St. James, Minneapolis, was not present, which was very much out of the ordinary. We wonder why. The next meeting of the Matinee Whist club will be held with Mrs. E. Hatton. At a meeting of the Crispus Attucks Home advisory board last week the following officers were elected: President, Mr. Jno. Sellers; vice president, Mrs. Dora Adams; secretary, Mr. Mattie R. Hicks; treasurer, Mr. Roy M. Knauf (white). The home will soon move to their new location on Collins street. A beautiful three-story building. We have at this time more inmates than we have ever had. About twenty-eight old people and children.

His family will not move here for the present. St. James church is starting out nicely under his administration. Keep it up, brothers and sisters. Mrs. R. B. Chapman is quite sick at her home on St. Anthony avenue. Mrs. Geo. Duckett has returned from a visit to her mother and brother in Alberta, Canada.

Miss Pansy Johnson of Kansas City, Mo., is in the city for an indefinite stay. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In a communication to the New York Times, Charles W. Thomas, president of the Teachers' Association of the District of Columbia, makes the following remarks: It is surprising to find the editorial columns of the Times, usually accurate, right and fair, making a vulnerable and slippant statement about such a social issue as is involved in "The Colored Migration to the North." In a recent work of great merit by Huntington, "Climate and Civilization," it is indicated how the migration of people from warm and enervating climate to cool and stimulating ones releases up energy and spells achievement. From that viewpoint alone the migration of the colored man to the North is to be judged, not by its effects upon the position or upon the South, but by its effects upon the colored man himself, as an American citizen, thinking to work himself to the highest unit value in the civilization and by its creation of a social surplus. The facts are, in this migration, the colored men are not being misled on some occasions, but they are, as students in southern schools, aiming to complete their education by working in the North under contract, personal teacher-force supervision, and medical attendance, and, as heads of families, they want better educational facilities for their children with greater security for their lives and their families. The Times statement that the South knows how to manage the colored man better than the North is the same dangerous half-trail which delayed the abolition of slavery and increased the cost. It seems strange that man should know to believe in the efficiency of contact, impunity, and co-operation to produce the fathers they claim to want, and thus to realize the intent of the fathers who aimed to found a home of justice, freedom, and opportunity for the oppressed of all the world, yet the colored man finds that unwillingness to prevail in some sections of this country, and in some social groups in all sections. The fact that the colored man consents to leave a section to which he is already so well adapted and in which he is "the possessor of a near-monopoly of the labor franchise," shows his aspirations for the fullness of life and his willingness to pay the price. Already 800,000 of Virginia's native colored people can be found in other states in the Union. The North will have no regrets for this new migration to the extent that it continues under the auspices of so-called "white settlers" to meet the proportion of them new environment so that he may not separate opportunity and responsibility, and so that he may conduct himself in such a manner as to gain the respect of and live at peace with his white neighbors. The Fifteenth regiment of infantry, New York National Guard, the first Negro regiment to be organized in the state, received its colors from Governor Whitman, and passed in review before him in front of the Union League club, at Fifth avenue and Thirty-ninth street. Thousands of Negroes lined the avenue above and below the club, and applauded the marching of the soldiers, the addresses of the governor and Col. William Hayward, the Incidents of the ceremony of presenting the colors—and Bert Williams' impromptu equestrian act. The first annual session of the National Negro Travelers' Protective association was held in the parlor of the Dunbar hotel, with C. E. Howard of Jacksonville, acting president, in the chair. The session was very enthusiastic. The action was adopted and committees were appointed as follows: Local membership, R. A. Bloont, J. B. Long, Atlanta, and R. A. K. Tucker of Mississippi, on law, G. W. Powell, George E. Taylor, R. B. K. Tucker, J. B. Long and A. L. Green of Alabama. An open meeting was held at First Congregational church and among the speakers were: Bishop Camphor, C. E. Howard, G. E. Taylor, and others—Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. That the white man is "wearing himself out," and killing his own race off, and soon, if the Negro will only keep quiet, the colored race will have the world to itself, was the belief expressed by Rev. S. L. Carrothers in an address before the annual race conference at Mount Carmel Baptist church at Washington. He added, New lines of Japanese steamships are to be established between Japan and South American ports in order to obviate the necessity of trans-shipping cargoes either at London or Harbor. A new service employing new ships of 7,500 tons each is to begin between Japan and Brazil, and it is probable that another company will also enter the new field. The crack record of the Baltic sea is greater than that of any other part of the world. A manufacturer in Indianapolis has discovered a method for making atropine from jimson weed. During 1915, 85,914,820 barrels of cement, valued at $73,888,820, were produced in this county. Williams, the darkly comedian, is also inspector of small arms in the regiment, with the rank of captain. He is on the staff of Colonel Hayward, the public service commissioner, who is commander of the regiment, and, as such, he was privileged to ride behind the colonel at the head of the marching men. The regiment came down from its armory at One Hundred and Thirty-second street and Seventh avenue, to the Grand Central on the subway, where there formed in line, the regiment meant to lead the regiment Forty-second street. Bert's horse, a light gray charger, began to waltz about the street the moment the contain-comedian got into the saddle. Colonel Hayward gave the command to march. The band struck up "Ouward, Christian Soldiers." The long column moved—and Williams' horses, ears straight back, tall out, and feet flying, dashed ahead. The rider was taken by surprise, but clung to his saddle and succeeded in stopping his charger as soon as the animal had put a satisfactory distance between himself and the band. The horse even consented to wait, though rather impatient, at Fifth avenue until the regiment had caught up, and Bert was in his place when his line turned south in the avenue. Colonel Hayward and his staff, as they turned into Fifth avenue, were applauded by thousands in front of the Union League club—and Captain Bert's temperamental mount once more abandoned the parade. Down the avenue the animal rushed. Bert staying in his seat, but apparently his self-confidence had been left with the regiment. He did not even notice that the runaway was dashing straight at four active motion picture cameras to receive regiment and eagerly putting on film everyone of the multitudinous movements and expressions registered by himself and the horse. Two mounted policemen at Thirty-ninth street stopped the runaway and saved Bert—the whole action also occurring in the focus of the cameras. The policemen held the animal's bridle until he seemed quiet and then let go. The rescue accomplished, the applause broke out again, and Bert's horse made another dash. But a traffic policeman at the corner caught him at his fourth leap—and Bert didn't stay to continue his act any longer. He slid from his saddle to the ground and planted the well-known Williams feet on the pavement with more emphatic he ever waved the footlights. Bert, in presenting the colors to the regiment, spoke to the men on their duty as members of the National Guard. The regiment was authorized by recent legislation. Most of its staff officers are white men, but its line officers are Negroes. With the Panama canal open and direct steamship lines between the Atlantic coast of the United States and Australasia, New Zealand should be a splendid field for American exports, and the steamship service is assured, for there are now agents of a strong American shipping company looking the field over with a view to establishing a regular monthly service both ways to begin with, and doubtless more will follow. The government of Chile has authorized the erection of a technical industrial school. however, that he hoped the white man would "wake up" before he reached this depth of destruction. Rev. Milton Waldron urged that concerted efforts should be made to have the Negro race as a whole better its condition. He also insisted that colored persons should not regard themselves as a race apart, but rather as an integral part of the great human family. Prof. C. M. Thomas, a teacher in the Miner Normal school, made a plan for race solidarity. Several of the speakers who followed him congratulated him upon his talk, including its discussion of problems and their solution. A plan is being considered to create a nation-wide plan for the betterment of the colored race. H. Martin Williams, reading clerk of the house of representatives, is scheduled as one of the afternoon speakers. A graphophone nearly eight feet high and correspondingly powerful, although only the usual records are used, has been built by a Tacoma musician for concert purposes in public parks. "Let the Negro remember that the color line vanishes in the presence of real greatness." So says Rabbi Wise of New York city, speaking of the late Booker Washington. The Negro ever bear in mind that while a fire cannot seek protection under the shadow of one great name or ten great names, a race, like a man, must stand upon its own feet and not upon the shoulders of a single man."

It perfectly BUILD A SUBWAY TO VERDUN FRONT AMERICANS MAKE THE TRIP New York Lawyer Narrowly Escapes Shots as He Views Trenches— Tunnel Cook Was Formerly Cheeto to an Ambassador. Verdun—Just west of here, in the forest of Argonne, there is a remarkable military tunnel, 45 feet underground, running right up to within 300 yards of the German trenches. It is one of the most hard-pressed points around the tunnel through this tunnel re-enforces move forward without danger, relieving one of hours the men on the firing line. There was a very American atmosphere about this tunnel when the writer visited it, for the curious fact developed that the two officers in command were American residents, one a stock ruler in Alberta, Canada, and the other a bank official of the Franco-Algerian region. Both were born in France, and when the war broke out left their American businesses to come home and fight. And now they are in full charge of this underground highway, leading up to one of the most desperate positions along the front. They are so American that they speak English instead of French, and the commandant's headquarters—the nest in the clay—has a big picture of Uncle Sam hanging on the wall. Creeping through this tunnel toward the front line, the members of the visiting party knocked their steel casques on the roof, and plunged through water ankle deep. Paul D. Cravath, the New York lawyer, a man of large build, 6 feet 6 inches tall, was bent double in the struggle through the tunnel. Along the way they passed energy, and pumping the fresh air which keeps the tunnel habitable. Further on, in a large clay hole, a kitchen was in full operation, with soldiers cutting bowls of noodles. Chef to an Ambassador. "Let me introduce you to our chef," said the commandant, as a young soldier cook came forward. "He is now the cook for this tunnel—and he ought to be a good cook, for before the war he was chef to the French ambassador at Rome." Emerging from the tunnel into the front line, the German trenches were plainly visible on the crest only 300 yards away. The intervening space was covered by a cyclone. Instead of the bleak green of the forest, that was left at the end of the tunnel, here the whole outlook was gray and desolate; the ground jagged and torn as by eccentric plows, not a vestige of grass or verdure, and the few gaurd trunks of trees stripped of their last leaf and looking like so many scarecrows. "This has been a rather quiet day—only two mine explosions," said the commandant, "two men injured, one in the shoulder, the other in the leg. That is little, for often we have forty to sixty men killed or injured in these mine explosions, which go on continuating. Germans try to mine under our trenches and we try to mine under theirs." Ever beyond the front line French trenches the French soldiers had pushed their observation posts into the fire-swept dividing line, 300 yards wide. Some of these daring men could be almost up to the crest, where the German line ran. They were crouched behind heaps of bowlers, rites ready. "Those men are only ten yards from the commandant," said the commandant. As he spoke, "I see a German; there he is on the crest; you can see his uniform with the round cap." "And he sees you too," said the commandant. "You have been under fire," he added as he led Mr. Cravath and the others to a more secure position. "It's good that German didn't fire," remarked Cravath. "It might have been an international incident. Think of it—killing an American visitor to the French trenches." Coming back from the front-line Hound in Chase Across Bridge Hange From Trestle While Quarry Is Killed. Princeton, W. Va.—Several persons witnessed a remarkable display of canine intelligence here when a foxhound belonging to James McPherson saved himself from death under a train on the railroad bridge at Black Lick, four miles west of here. The bridge THE BYSTANDER BEALING THE BIG BRITISH the Germans with the heaviest artillery of the gun to keep it hidden. Often the the background, disguising it perfectly. trenches one had a view of the many ceaseless activities in carrying on this great battle. At one point soldiers in shirt sleeves were digging graves in an improvised cemetery along the forest path. The cemetery was very large and had been given a name, "Maison Forrestiere," or Forest Home. Every grave had a wooden cross above it with the name and regiment of the dead soldier. The shells kept whizzing and bursting as the party moved along, and it got to be a pleasant pastime to note the long s-z-z as the shells flew overhead. One of them struck a few hundred feet away, throwing up trees, earth and clouds of smoke. To those who wanted souvenirs there were big fragments of shrapnel lying at the base of the trench to pick them up, but after three or four of these heavy chunks of steel were carried half a mile the task was abandoned. The ingenuity of some of the trench quarters along the way is shown in the use of empty glass bottles for windows. One officer pointed with pride to the very artistic effect he had secured with these empty wine bottles. A triple row extended all across the front of his log shack, giving light within and having rather a cathedral window effect without. The bottles are of white glass, used for bottling the white wine of Bordeaux. Lives Outside City. The headquarters of General Nivelle, in command of the operation at Verdun, are quite a way outside the city, at a little crossroad hamlet, which cannot be named for military reasons. The general's offices are in the town courthouse, a two-story stone structure. It was in this same building that General Petain, who preceded Nivelle, and General de Custaeun quickly made the plans at the first onrush of the Germans, which held them until re-enforcements could be brought up. General Nivelle goes to Verdun and along the trench front frequently. But more of his time is at headquarters, in telegraph and telephone communication with the whole circle of defenses, and in touch, too, with the other army corps and masses of supplies ready to be moved forward to ill nav can the Germans may make. As we were at General Nivelle's headquarters a party of German prisoners came by. They marched two and two, their gray uniforms and round caps contrasting with the French blue and casque. Already they were being set to work, and instead of a gun each German carried a spade over his shoulder. At Verdun there is no clutch, the cleaver, but around General Nivelle's headquarters there were peasant women and girls mingling with the pollis, indicating civilian life still existed thus near to the bombarded town. The roads back of Verdun present the most varied scenes of activity. On one side is a vast, airstlopane cover, with some twenty enormous hangars of basket steel construction covered with canvas. Across the road is a riding course running for miles, where officers can exercise their mounts and cavalry can maneuver in the open, without attacking the highways. Every and then one sees a big vehicle shoot by bearing the sign "American Ambulance Corps." Mules in Good Shape. The thousands of horses and mules along the road are in good condition. Many of the horses came from America and were run down by sea voyage, but after a month's feeding they proved very serviceable. On seeing the mules one of the officers said: "The demobilization of the Greek army had one very important result for the allies—it released 10,000 mules which the Greeks had been using, and now these mules are proving invaluable to the allies." While the fields back of Verdan are rich with yellow grain, yet there is one melancholy evidence of the war in the burning of manure, usually the very life blood of the soil. The grain can be gathered by the soldiers and the women, who remain, but there is no time to distribute the manure over the land, and so it is burned. The last glimpse of Verdun came as the party passed a detachment of French soldiers just out of the trawcles and going to the rear for rest. They were tired and heavily laden, but happy and cheerful as they swung along in irregular ranks, laughing and smoking as though they came from some agreeable occupation. They were all fine looking young fellows, and they typified that calm and invincible spirit which the young French soldiers are putting into their service. The dog was pursuing a fox across the bridge when the train came rapidly upon the chase. Witnesses thought the dog had been killed and the owner walked on the bridge to see that had become of his pet. To surprise he found the dog near the center of the bridge hanging by his feet between the ties and unharmed. The fox was killed. Fortune and Crime in Pleas Cleveland, O—Pleas have brought fortune and honor. O—Elmer, ITALIAN FINDS LOCKJAW CURE GIVES SATISEACTORY RESULTS After Few Days Treatment the Wound Begins to Heal, Suppuration Disappears, Swelling - Subsides and Fever Causes. Headquarters of the Italian Army in the Field.-Surgice Major Professor Inganni of the Italian medical corps, in charge of a field hospital, has applied on a large scale a special treatment for lockjaw which is giving most satisfactory results. The antitoxin treatment of lockjaw is extensively used in the Italian army: a preventive and, thanks to it, the cases of tetanus have been greatly diminished. Naturally in field hospitals local conditions are such that it is impossible to resort to prolonged antiseptic bathing of the wounded or infected part, and the most effective remedy consisted in amputation. But even early amputation often proved of no avail when the wound already had set free a lethal dose of their toxin. Besides, even when amputation saved a man's life it left him a cripple. Doctors Amputate Too Freely. Often for fear of infection surgeons in the field resort freely to amputation knowing full well that it would be impossible for them to keep the wound clean until it is completely healed. Professor Inganni instead is convinced that umputation should only be resorted to in extreme cases, as a doctor's first duty is to cure, not to cripple a man. Prolonged-warm bath of the wound is an almost infallible remedy against lockjaw, and never prevents its being administered even in the field under ordinary conditions. The professor has invented a special portable bath which can be folded, as it is made of rubber and shaped in such a way that any limb can be immersed in it. The bath is then tied to the patient by means of bandages and placed in any position, either horizontal or vertical. Antiseptic Solution Is Used. A warm antiseptic solution can be easily kept in it at the same temperature for five or six hours. As a rule a 3 per cent solution of hypochlorite is used or else corrosive sublimate in the proportion of one-leaf per 1,000. but permanganate of potassium, iodine or lead water also can be used to advantage. It has been found better to alternate the employment of these antiseptics. The results of this treatment are wonderful. After a few days the wound belongs to heat, suppuration appears, swelling subsides and fever ceases. Recovery follows as a matter of course even in cases where antipause was considered the only remedy. The danger of lockjaw is entirely obviated. SHOULD HELP HER HUSBAND Court Decides Crime Is No Cause for Divorce—Habitual Drunkard Des Molles, In.-The Iowa supreme court, in session here, has handed down several Solomonic decisions. In one ruling, the court held that confession of a crime on the part of a husband does not constitute grounds for divorce proceedings. "It ill becomes a wife," said the court, "to prefer criminal charges against her husband. She took him for better or worse, and she should try to seek him." In the same decision the court defined a habitual drunkard as "one who becomes even moderately intoxicated whenever the opportunity is presented." Is Single Again.

If no raisins are steamed in the bread a few may be steamed and sprinkled over each slice with a few chopped nuts.

There are several things which enter into the right kind of a breakfast: first, the individual to be served, age, state of health, occupation, season and climate, as well as the supplies to be obtained. VINEYARD The old standbys of bacon, toast, coffee, preceded by some sort of fruit is the breakfast of the average person. It is the meal which most housewives complain about the oftenest, being hard to give variety. Grapes are one of the fruits most enjoyed in the fall and are a most wholesome fruit; apples, pears and peaches all have a wholesome acid, very beneficial to the digestion. Plain boiled rice makes a welcome breakfast cereal; onclets of various kinds give a change from the everyday shell-cooked, poached or fried egg. The baking method of eggs is to drop them into individual rumkins, cover with cream, dot with bits of butter and season with salt and pepper; place in the oven in a dish of hot water and bake until the eggs are set. Where fresh mackerel is obtained, no more tasty dish can be offered than broiled mackerel or the fish backed in cream. Place it in a draining pan with a little water, skin side down, and place in the hot oven; when the water has evaporated pour over the fish a cupful of good cream; heat through and serve, adding the seasonings at the last, not to curdle; the cream, although that does not entitle spoil the dish, but it does detract from its appearance. Chops, liver and bacon, sausages of various kinds, are all meats used for breakfast. Only a small portion should be served, as it is much better for the health to eat meat but once a day and then a meal of chicken. Hot breads are liked for breakfast, and griddle cakes the year round never seem to lose their popularity. For the Sunday breakfast it is wise to have an entire change. As it is a meal of more leisure than every-day breakfasts, it may be a little more elaborate. A fruit that is subacid is best to serve in the morning; a cereal with creamy texture is a practical practice of serving acid fruits and cereals with cream is quite general. GATHERED FACTS Of all colors, red is the most conspicuous at a distance. Homing pigeons can travel 70 miles an hour.

MAKES FOR GREATER SAFETY Little Danger That Expensive Machine Will Be Stolen While It Is, So To speak, Under Owner's Eye. By WILLIAM A. RADEFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the reader of this pro-gram, the experience of the wide expanse he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all honours he has received, not only the NIET Plains avenue, Chicago, IL, but only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. Now that the automobile is becoming more and more a necessity rather than a luxury, the question of providing a garage is receiving more attention than it has given during the early days of the "horseless carriage." The man who has spent a considerable amount of money in automobile does not feel satisfied with the car it in an old barn or shed. If the last which his house is built will allow enough space it is easy to build a garage which will harmonize with the design of the house. The man who uses the automobile usually has his architect include a garage design in the plans for his new home. Although the detached garage has many advantages, there are also several reasons why a garage which is built as a part of the house may have special advantages in some cases. Since such a garage may be entered from the house it is a very handy place to have the automobile located. This feature is of special importance during rainy or cold weather, when the car is dry and warm when it is needed. There is greater safety in keeping this exe THE HOME OF THE FAMILY sive machine in a part of the house than can be had if it is housed in a detached building. If an electric vehicle is used and the garage contains battery recharging equipment, it is much easier to keep the batteries in good condition at all times, if it is not necessary to go out of the house to attend to it. The added equipment is also property which should be given protection from theft. It might be imagined that a garage built as a part of the house would greatly increase the fire risk. There is undoubtedly a possibility of fire around highly combustible material such as is used as for the gasoline or steam and for the electric wiring required for the electrical devices is responsible for fires. Most fires caused from these sources may be traced directly to carelessness and there are numerous ways of safeguarding the building. Gasoline stored in an underground tank cannot cause a fire, and this method of storing the fuel is the most sensible from every viewpoint. Carefully installed electric wiring, safeguarded by fuses against excess cur BEAM POOR 15'-0" x 15'-0" KITCHEN 9'-0" x 12'-0" DINING ROOM 12'-0" x 15'-0" DINING ROOM 12'-0" x 15'-0" LIVING ROOM 15'-0" x 10'-0" BATHMAT BATHMAT BATHMAT ROUTE AWAY TO GARDEN DINER AND MASTER CLOSE BATHMAT ROSE FRONT POOR 23'-0" x 17'-0" First-Floor Plan. rent and insulated physically and electrically from the building cannot cause a fire. The garage may, in addition, be made fire-resistant by carrying up the walls in concrete and covering all woodwork with cement plaster. The garage, properly built, is really no more to be dreaded than the kitchen. It is usually a rather difficult problem to design a house; with a garage attached which will have a satisfactory appearance. Since the garage does not require a great deal of headroom and yet it must be placed at least down to the grade line, it is necessary to build some part of the house on the ground. The question becomes what part of the house must be above the roof without disturbance in the room; a separate room is necessary since the floor coincides with stairs. ond floor of the main structure, as a rule. This fact is usually taken advantage of and the staircase is built to connect with the room above the garage, eliminating a landing between the first and second doors and saving great deal of space in the stairway. To use it to the room which may be put in a room or less limited by its peculiar position, but there are enough uses for the space warrant its being made a part of the house. The space is peculiarly adapted to a sun parlor, seating room or den. In the illustrations a design is shown which makes the garage a part of the house and utilizes the space above the garage for a sun parlor. The house is built upon a terrace and the Second-Floor Plan. driveway, leading to the garage, is brought straight in at the sidewalk level, allowing only enough slope to provide good drainage. The entire house and garage are finished in stucco with dark wood trim. Low arch type construction is used in the porch and all roofs are built as flat as is consistent with good construction. A pergola roof above the sun parlor adds a note of distinction. The entire exterior is impressive and elegant. The details of interior finish are further kept with the general excellence of the design. The room arrangement is all that the home-builder could ask for in convenience and elegance. The reception hall is fitted with a seat and has a wide closet height located. The opening be- 6842 X tween this hall and the living room is cased. The entire side wall of the house in the living room is occupied by the fireplace and two bookcases. A wide cased opening at the rear of the living room leads to the dining room. The Buffet in the latter room is built below four windows, in a square bay. There are five other windows in the room. The sun parlor is five steps above the living room and the seat built into the kitchen. The cased opening from the living room is a very pleasant detail. The garage is entered from a passage between the living room and the kitchen. Between the kitchen and the dining room is the butter's pantry. The opening on the kitchen side is cased and on the dining room side there is a double-acting door. The stair from the sun parlor leads to a stair hall on the second floor. All rooms on this floor open from the hall. There are four bedrooms, all provided with generous closet space, and a bath. All rooms on this floor are well lighted and full height. The house is intended for a rather large family or it may be used to a very good advantage by people who are in the habit of inviting guests for extended visits. There is an abundance of room on each floor and the many special features which have been incorporated into the design are sure to leave a good impression with anyone who might have the opportunity to examine the house carefully. The design is an excellent example of one method by which the garage may be made a part of an attractive house without taking anything from its attractiveness. Mexico's Bastille. The Alhondijón de Grandadittus (prison) in Guanajuato is one of the most historic buildings in the Mexican republic. It is the place where the first blow was struck for the liberation of Mexico from Spanish rule. Quadruangular in shape, with a central patio, a row of small Moorish windows near the top, the lower door Tuscan, the upper Doric, the building has no architectural beauty. At each corner is a large hook, from which, in the days of the struggle for independence were hung four iron cages containing the heads of the great liberators—the patriot priest, Hidalgo, his military chief, Allende, and his comrades Aldama and Jimínez. Here they hung for years until removed by a worshiping nation to the altar of kings in the cathedral of the City of Mexico. After the first ringing of the bell of Mexican independence, Hidalgo and his followers moved on to Guanajuato, stormed the improvised fort of Alhondijón and killed all the Spanish troops that had taken refuge there. This was the beginning of the 11 years' war of independence.

HOMESICK FOR FROZEN NORTH AND ICE PACKS Veteran Arctic Explorer to Drift Five Years Across Top of Continent. TAKE COLLEGE MEN ALONG Captain Robert A. Bartlett Tires of New York and is arranging to Gather Scientific Data in the Million Miles Yet Untouched by White Men. New York.-Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, who has been in arctic exploration for 18 years of his life, who has been farther north than any other white man with the exception of Peary, who has suffered hardships in the frozen regions, is afflicted with arctic nostalgia. He is homesick for ice peaks, frozen seas, polar bear and seal meals, bright lights that last six months. He wants to go to the far, far north again, get frozen up in the arctic ocean, and drift wherever the currents may carry the ice pack and his ship. Captain Bartlett, who is an American of English birth, forty years old, tall and straight as an arrow, but soft spoken and almost distant in his manner, explained in detail his latest project for arctic exploration when I saw him the other day at the Explorers' club, says a writer in the New York Herald. "My idea," he said, "is to superintend the construction of a wooden vessel of about 350 tons, especially designed for arctic work; start in May, 1918, northward through Bering strait; go eastward off to about 120 west longitude, and latitude 74 or 75, or even farther north; let the vessel freeze up and go with the ice drift through the great unexplored arctic regions. There are more than a million square miles of unexplored territory in the Arctic ocean. "I would take only eight men with me on the trip, preferably young college men, not too scientific, but with sufficient knowledge and brains to do the scientific work necessary. While we drifted we would take soundings and use a deep-sea dome, to gather the flora and fauna from the floor of the ocean and keep a careful record of the changes. This work would be of the same character as that undertaken by the prince of Monaco, the late Sir John Murray and, to some extent, by Nansen. "I believe that such an expedition, while having little of the spectacular about it, would add greatly to the world's scientific and geographical knowledge. It has the moral support of the National Geographic society, at Washington; the Philadelphia Geographic society; Admirals Pilsbury, Coast and coast and geodetic survey, the Explorers' club and many other societies and individuals of note. Financial Assistance Pledged. "I have pledges of financial assistance to the extent of $80,000 already, and I will require about as much more. I am encouraged to believe that the full amount can be obtained without a great deal of trouble, for there are many public-spirited men who will subscribe to the project when they understand its nature and value. "Instead of regular steam engines and boilers, requiring the consumption of coal, I will install a Bollinger crude oil engine, thus doing away with the necessity of engineers, and freemen. "From my knowledge of the arctic regions and the currents and general drift of the ice I should say that we would drift about five years before reaching civilization again, but we might do it in three years. I would provision the ship for five or six years, and that would be easy with only nine men to provide for. The general drift would be to the west, and I should say that we would eventually come out either between Greenland and Spitzerbergen, or between Spitzerbergen and Franz Josef Land. Police Statistics Disclose Fact That They Are Much More Numerous Than Men. Rome — According to recent statistics compiled by the police about the most frequent crimes committed in the city, there are hundreds of murders. There are hundreds of murders and Turkish women in Italy despite a well-known fact that in times of the female immigration from THE BYSTANDER IN WESTERN FRONT International Film Service ont having their morning bath in a tub "It is possible that we would discover new land during our travels. We would take about a hundred dogs and what sledges we required for exploration. The dogs would be fed on bear meat and fish, of both of which we would have no difficulty in getting all we required. Our own principal meat diet would be bear and seal. Of course, we would have cured meats with our own fish and sea plants, much for them in arctic work. Seal meat is delicious, and the polar bear meat is good, too—very like pork. "I have not the slightest doubt that we would find many new fishes, shell fish and sea plants with our deep-sea dredges, and would add greatly to the scientific knowledge of the world. As I said, there will be nothing speculative about the trip, like hunting for the North Pole, but it will have a scientific value, and may add greatly to geographical knowledge. I am pretty sure that there is land there in the uninhabited parts of the world, and why we should not find it and explore it on such a trip." Captain Bartlett run away to see when a boy, and has lived most of his life since on sailers, whalers and in 'northic exploration. He was first with Peary on the *Windward* in 1897 and 1898. He went on another expedition to Hudson straits and was captain of a sealing vessel off Newfoundland. In 1905 he was preparing to go north again, and planned the Roosevelt after the manner of the Fram. He superintended the vessel's construction, and made a new vessel in 1905. Kane bush, Kennedy channel, Robeson channel, and finally to Cape Sheridan on the northeast corner of Grant Land. An Epic of the North. In the summer of 1966 Peary and Bartlett started over the polar ice to reach the North Pole. They attained latitude 87 degrees 6 minutes, the farthest north ever reached by a white man previous to the discovery of the Pole. Captain Bartlett was in charge of the supporting parties, and was on the ice 120 days. The ice broke up and the Roosevelt was started on her home voyage, but encountered a hurricane near Cape Union, between Greenland and Grant Land. The ice piled up and drove the Roosevelt ashore. Her rudder was torn out, two of her four propeller blades were broken and GIVES $3,000 TO RED CROSS + Rita Kohler, daughter of the late Charles M. Kohler, millionaire manufacturer and horseman. Rita and her older sister, Vern, recently assisted at the Red Cross hazard given on their mother's estate at Suffern, N. Y. Each of the girls donated $3,000 to the fund of the Red Cross to be used in the relief of the wounded on the battlefield. two countries does not exist. German and Austrian women are exceedingly numerous, and strangely enough Swiss women of German origin have been steadily coming to Italy since the outbreak of the war. All these women are not native to Austria, nor are they in any race which comes to Italy. she leaked badly. It took three months to patch up the vessel, and fuel and provisions were running low. Crossing the Cumberland gulf in October, she was hit by another gale, and her jury rudder was carried away. Captain Bartlett swung, a beam from the boom to steer by and run before the gale four days, finally making the northern tip of Labrador, where coal, provisions, wood and wood were obtained. The vessel got to Hebron, a Moravian settlement, where enough supplies were obtained to take her to Nain. There food was obtained. And so, getting small supplies of food and fuel, the vessel finally reached Nown Shore. Again the Roosevelt, with Captain Bartlett in command, went to Cape Sheridan in 1904, and Peary and Bartlett sturred for the North Pole. Captain Bartlett was taken to the 88th parallel, and ordered to remain there while Peary went on with Matt Hensen, a negro. That was when Peary discovered the North Pole. In 1913 Captain Bartlett was captain of the Karuk, in which Vilhjalmjur Stefansson went to the Arctic ocean through Bering strait. After Stefansson was handed the vessel was caught in the ice and carried from Point Barrow toward the Siberian shore. on January 12, 1914, when the Karuk was about 125 miles off Wrangell island, near which is Herald island, she was crushed in the ice. Captain Bartlett was on such a distracting load put provisions for two years on the ice. Eight of his men insisted upon going in what they thought would be a shorter direction to reach land. They were lost. The Rescue From Wrangell Island. Captain Bartlett, with 17 men of the expedition, two Eskimo men, one Eskimo woman and two children, reached Wrangell island March 13. There he established a camp, and then with an Eskimo boy eighteen years old, one sledge and seven dogs started over the ice to the Siberian coast, more than one hundred miles away. He traveled over broken ice, ferryed open lanes on pieces of ice and reached the coast in the first week in April. He followed the const for a thousand miles, and finally received assistance from Buron Klost at Emmon harbor, where he arrived to St. Michael's Alaska, where he found the United States revenue cutter, Bear, and went north in her to Wrangell island for his men. He found them all safe, and they were brought back to the United States. That was Captain Bartlett's last trip to the arctic regions. Now he wants to go back again and see a little more excitement. The life here palls upon him. He became so disgusted in October, 1915, with inaction that he went to work as a stevedore at Pier No. 7, Hudson river. He did not have to make a living that way, but he liked active work. Dr. R. A. Harris of the United States coast, an geologic survey, Washington, is enthusiastic over Captain Bartlett's proposed expedition, and has suggested that the following subjects will indicate the nature of the work of such a project; The distribution of land and water, including the extent and character of land yet undiscovered; depths *p* soundings of the waters; tidal observations; currents and ice drifting; ice conditions; temperature, salinity and chemical composition of water at various depths; character of the sea bottom; marine life in the Arctic ocean; other arctic life; geology of arctic land; atmospheric pressure, winds, precipitation, etc.; magnetic observations; pendulum observations; feasibility of the Northwest passage; feasibility of other possible routes. Scientific Value of Trip. "From these items," says Doctor Harris, "it is evident that certain physical sciences must remain incomplete until observations have been made in the regions now designated as unexplored, viz: meteorology, ocean circulation, the tides, terrestrial magnetism and geodesy. "The probable value of a drifting in arctic ice depends upon the length of time for which the projector of the expedition has made provision. A long period of drifting generally means long distances covered and so unknown waters traversed, new positions attained and greater likelihood of making geographical discoveries. For instance, the ice of the Antarctic continent that very shallow water, less than 100 fathoms in depth, extends 300 geographical miles northward from the coast of eastern Siberia, while the drifting of the Fram upset the previously entertained notions by proving that ocean depths occurred in high latitudes where the waters were supposed to be comparatively shallow." Some iden of the estimation in which Captain Bartlett is held by geographers may be obtained from the fact that he has received medals from geographic societies in America, England and Italy. But he is too modest to talk about such things. He cries nothing about past performances now. All he wants is a chance to get far into the Arctic circle again and live the life he knows so well and enjoys so thoroughly. Milk Saves Blazing Barn.

When the Walrus, in the time-honored verse, called attention to the fact that the time had come to speak of cabbages and kings, the beast did not have any idea that the time would come when there would be any actual relationship between the two. Now kings have come to know the value of the cabbage while the value of the king has taken somewhat of a slump in the opposite direction. This story deals with an Old King and a cabbage crop. Mildas, with his fund of gold; Croesus, long mentioned as a marvel of money, and the other owners of large kingly chests were also rich. He has told John D. Rockefeller. He has in one vault in the basement of the produce exchange in New York more hidden wealth than all of the old kings put together. Yet he has a lively interest in rinsing cabbages. His interest in this direction is valuable to all of the persons in the country who have garden plots because it is a lesson in the economy of space, and a tip from the richest man in the world as to the value of using every spare spot for raising something from the soil. What he sees in New York is equally possible on the most remote hillside in America, and it is for this reason that I am showing you a picture of the Oil King's cabbage patch and telling you how the man with the greatest store of wealth wisely refuses to let a chance to raise even a tiny crop by planting. When I say cabbages, I do not mean that the patch is confined to this one thing. It is only one of many. All of the garden products that can be used in a tiny space are utilized, and around the edges, to work in a little art along with utility, there are flowers. The Rockefeller cubbage patch is located in the yard of the world-famous Rockefeller institute at Sixty-sixth street and the East river, New York city. It is in this remarkable institution that the wise men of science try gerns on monkeys and dogs so that they can learn how to save the lives of babies and grownups. Many of the greatest discoveries of science have been made in the big building. But when the master of the millions came along he saw something, beside the gerns and the mysterious researches of science in the vicinity. It occurred to him that the gerns had nothing to do with the yard about the place, and that no amount of bacilli could interfere with putting the open ground to some use. So he ordered that the women and children in the congested, poor neighborhood be given a chance to raise vegetables on the unused yard. The order brought about a transformation. Now on any day one may see the woman with the hoe at work on the garden that fringes the skirts of the women. She is happy with the weight of centuries like Edward Markham's famous "Man With the Hoe." She is happy in the chance to make a better table for her little THE FOREST ones at the expense of a man whose millions: do not prevent him from seeing little things clearly. I wonder if my readers are using their available space for garden purposes with as much wisdom as the very poor of New York are doing in the cabbage patch of the Ol King? A "DOG" FOR THE GARDEN When a theatrical manager has a new play, long before he brings it to the chief city where it is to be produced, he "tries it on the dog." That means that he takes the production to some small place and let the actors see what effect the play has on real people. If it works, the manager brine the place, the city. Maybe he finds little town and corrected. The same late ers of the garden, dep. Pick out, has intensified soil, dittions. If you into any particular culture, the legal pitch Ma. will show just how to ntions which will avoid a he the larger planting. A litle spent in testing the possibilit. a flower or a plant before making extensive investment is always go. The climatic and soil conditions are not the same in any two sections. The greatest expert on big cannon in the United States was recently asked if he could not tell by figures and theory everything about big guns. "No," he said, "I want it to come out of the gun." that theory is a fine one to use in material life in the garden. An ounce of experience is worth a ton of the theory—and, besides, it increases the joy of having actual knowledge of the wonderful things that sun, air and soil will do with seeds and plants. MONEY CAN'T MAKE A GARDEN By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN BY ELIZABETH VAN ALLEN HOUYEN If one had all of the money in the world and no artistic or practical ideas to go with it, he could not produce a garden worth while, a shrub with this fact while looking at the rich landscape that make the Eastern coast a fairyland. The accompanying illustration will show a case in point. Here is a garden where money enough has been spent to buy a farm. Yet the figures are stuff and grouped with about as much art as the man used who first put figures in a multiplication table. Regular, stuff and awkward, the costly bits of work are placed just like so many pawns on a chessboard. That is just what one does not want. Better take a handful of natural rocks in a barrel of moss and forms and mix with a sense of arrangement than to waste thousands on a decorative scheme that only holds up to pity the poverty of the mind which cannot do with much what thousands, actually accomplish with little. # CLARIBBA, NOWA.

All animals, including human ones, respond to gentleness and kindness more readily than to cruelty and abuse if they are trained properly. We need to be mindful of this basic truth not only in the handling of our children, but among ourselves. There is too little of consideration for the finer side of most people's nature; all of us have some fine sensibilities, children abound with the handing of our children, but among ourselves. There is too little of consideration for the finer side of most people's nature; all of us have some fine sensibilities, children abound with them and they ought to be respected. For if we are careless and uncouth we dull the finer part of ourselves. Children cannot be expected to be refined and cultured in company if they are accustomed to hear indelicate language at home. There is only one way to command respect and that is to feel respectable; there is as much insult heaped upon folks by their friends as by their enemies. We as a people use the term "nigger," "brown" and "colored" too much. There is no reason that the terms are less insulting, less vulgar, in the objectionable sense, when used by a person of the race than if some other person uses it. One never hears Jews using the indicative term "scheeny"; nor do the Italian stoop to the epitaph "dago." These terms are far more reaching and contemptible than actual profanity and should be curbed in use. If one of the darker skin feels that he is a nigger, it is no person is one. Children cannot be made to feel that they are equals if they are continually brow-beaten by these spirit killing remarks. Any person who wounds the delicate feelings of a child and continually coarsens its nature is worse than the criminal who is amenable to law. We can make restitution in law, but no one can check the blight of coarseness! Every thoughtless wound leaves a scar, which on account of the helplessness of the victim makes for a secret gnawing at the spiritual vitality. It is as much our duty to look after these things as it is to be anxious about our spiritual and physical welfare along other lines. The pity of the male situation is that these do not stay at home, but are known by other people, who feel that since we do not respect ourselves they may be coarse with impunity. Let us be genteel and delicate, preserving thereby the wealth of fine spiritual nature which is inately delicate in all Negroes. ALBIA NEWS.

Before entering upon the 1916 campaign, let us carefully consider the role which the Negros sustain' to the republican party, which gives them the greatest measure of justice and renders the greatest service to the country. Pointing to President Wilson's record in the matter of race discrimination. In his speech at Independence hall, Philadelphia, July 4, 1914, when he was a candidate for the presidency, he gave assurances that he would not discriminate against Negro citizens of the United States. Notwithstanding these assurances of support of the principle of equality before the law and in governmental affairs, great discrimination has been practiced, not only in the departments over which the president has indirect control, but also in appointments that are made by himself. Under republican administrations the policy was pursued of appointing a colored man to fill the vacancy created by the resignation, death or expiration of term of a man of that race. The man was revived by the democratic administration and the following colored persons have been succeeded by white men: Wm. H. Lewis, assistant attorney general, $5,000. J. C. Napier, register of the treasury, $4,000. Chas. W. Anderson, collector internal revenue, New York, $4,500. Henry W. Tyler, auditor for N. department, $4,000. C. F.

For the above reason the 800,000 available Negro voters in the country, excluding the disfranchised south, should vote a straight republican ticket to regain whatever has been lost for the good of the country at large. We must acknowledge that we are in a critical period, perhaps more critical than any period since the civil war. We need a dominant sense of national unity; the exercise of our best constructive powers. We desire that the republican party as a great liberal party shall be the agency of national achievement, the organ of the effective expression of dominant Americanism.

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.

The inflammation of the mucus membrane, at first acute, becomes chronic and the child has chronic chronic catarrh, a disease that is seldom cured and that may prove a life's burden. Many persons who have this lathsome disease will remember having had frequent colds at the time it was contracted. A little forethought, a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy judiciously used, and all this trouble might have been avoided. Obtainable everywhere.
