A FEARLESS DEFENDER OF THE RACE BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY. A grand reception was given at Pilgrim Baptist Church, 616 Charlotte Street, the evening of March 16 in honor of the 43rd birthday of the pastor, the Rev. C. C. Calloway. There is no affair of this nature that has been given heretofore any place that could paramount to this; the affair within itself was a matter of speaking, transcendental—over, above and beyond all. Beautiful draperies adorned the interior of the church; stately palms rose to a certain height; then spreading their foliage in long projecting arms of protection, they majestically stood guard over the feast. Carnations, meaning ardent love and intended to express the sentiment of the members toward the pastor were the flowers used for the occasion. The table d'honneur was laid with fine linen and costly silverware, also beautiful cut glass and magnificent china; the large birthday cake occupied a portion of the center of the table, and an enormous exquisite and beautiful fern occupied the other portion; two charming waitresses served at this table. The public table was to be no less admired, it too was set up to a degree that might be termed unique; carnations and ferns were used here also. Five accurate and well trained waiters served the occupants of the table. The headwaiter REV. C. C. CALLAWAY. The popular pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, a scholar, a great preacher and a splendid christian gentleman and manager of both tables, Mr. Ketchenz deserves special mention and commendation for the deftness and ease with which he superintended the affair. The guests of honor were: Revs. D. A. Holmes, W. A. Bowren, G. McNeal, G. W. Boyd, D. B. Jackson, G. H. Daniel, Jenkins, Mrs. G. W. Boyd and Atty. Fletcher. Some very brilliant remarks were made by these guests. The splendid program was as follows: Opening Chorus—choir; prayer—Rev. G. H. Daniel; music—orchestra; Welcome address—Miss Tressle Clarke; music—"Beautiful Star of Heaven," Miss Josie Morton; Response to Welcome Address—Rev. W. A. Bowren; Instrumental solo—Miss May Williams; Paper—"Progress of Faith"—Miss Irene Rhoades; Solo—"Holy City"—Robert Morant; Paper—"Appreciation of our Pastor"—Miss Tressle Clark; Music, selected—Orchestra. Each individual participant of the program deserves special and personal commendation for the skill displayed. The orchestra under the direction of Mr. Geo. Wilkerson played vibrant strains of sweet music—that might have been the echo from the Angel Israfell's Hays—while the celebrators were dining. The menu consisted of: Queen Olives Celery En Branch Grape Fruit Roast Turkey with dressing Cranberry jelly Creamed potatoes French peas Potato salad Ice cream Assorted cake Coffee Who could have concocted a more delicious and savory menu? Mrs. C. C. The Kansas City Sun Calloway the deserving one, shared honors with her husband, Rev. C. C. Calloway. Mrs. G. W. Wilkerson, chairman of arrangements, deserves credit for the uniqueness of the affair. Miss Mossle Edwards, mistress of ceremonies, deserves favorable comment for the quiet unassumingness with which she executed her duty. The women who had charge of the wraps and the women who assisted in preparing the food and those who assisted in many other useful ways were all very courteous and deserve credit. Last but not least, the membership and friends, deserve credit for their loyalty and enthusiasm in making the affair a success. The pastor received quite a number of beautiful and valuable presents.

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1915. WAITERS' SUNDAY Subject: "The Responsibility of The Walter." The following sermon, delivered Sunday, March 21, 1915, by Dr. W. H. Jawahir, pastor of Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church, Misses Susie R. Goodwin, Myrtle L. Brown and Ruth L. Seymour and Joe J. Collins, students of the Commerce Department at Western University, Quindaro, Kans. I want to invite your attention very briefly to the words found in Nehemih, first chapter and the eleventh verse; the last clause of that verse reads, "For I was the King's cup bearer." The subject which I have selected from that verse is, "The Responsibility of the Waiter." While I am preaching this morning to the congregation in general, I am speaking in particular to these men who serve as waiters and I am taking one of my own experiences as has been hinted by our distinguished fellow townsmans. For five summers I served as a waiter in different hotels and I never miss an opportunity to refer to it. The very best education that I received came from my experience as a waiter not only as a waiter, but as a bell boy and as a pool room boy in the hotel; so when I speak to you omen this morning, I want you to feel that I am speaking as a brother, as a man the back ground of whose life is largely made up of experience gained as a hotel man. I have elected this morning to speak to you fro mNehemiah, and this prophet, this man, in speaking of himself, says, "I was the King's cup bearer." "The King's cup bearer." As the words suggest, his particular duty was to hand the King his wine as he sat at the table, to wait upon him. It was in the age when men were distrustful of one another, possibly not any more than they are today; but they had a crude way of showing that distrust. Kings have always been fearful of being poisoned. "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown." So fearful were the kings in that age of which I speak of being poisoned that the cup bearer, the waiter, was compelled to taste his wine before the king drank it, and to taste his food ere he ate it. You can imagine the personality, physical and moral makeup of that man the king selected as cup bearer, or waiter. You can imagine the make-up of that man after whom the king could drink wine after he tasted it and eat his food after his waiter had tasted it. The business of the cup bearer, or the waiter was not only one of responsibility and trust, but it was one of large influence. No matter how burdened a man may be with the cares of his business, or with the cares of state, he relaxes when he comes to his meals in order to enjoy them. His mind is open for new impressions. He relaxes and is apt to study the waiter. It was true in the case of Nehemiah who was a man of bright, active appearance, pleasant to look upon; but upon this occasion, he came before the king with a sad countenance. His heart was heavy. He had spent the night in weeping; and his weeping showed itself in his eyes, in his face. No man can spend the night in weeping, in sorrow without giving evidence of it the next morning in his eyes; in his face. No man can spend a night in dissipation without giving evidence of it the next morning in his eyes, in his face; and so the observant king, as the waiter stood by him noticed his sad countenance, his sad eyes, his sad face, and said, "Why art thou sad of countenance?" Nehemiah represented an oppressed people. He represented a people who were under affliction, and his heart was heavy because of that. When the king said to him, "Why art thou sad of countenance," Nehemiah tells of the city of his forefathers, he woit was laid waste. How its gates were consumed by fire. He made the most of his opportunity. It is the duty of every man to make the most of his opportunities not for the benefit of himself, but for the benefit of others. The meanest things in life is for a man to make the most of his opportunities for the benefit of others. Nehemiah thought of others, he thought of his native city, he thought of the place where his fore-fathers were buried and he requested that he be granted a leave of absence and a convoy of Jews to repopulate the city and rebuild its walls. The rebuilding of Jerusalem can be traced to Nehemiah. He was the king's cup bearer, "For I was the king's cup bearer," and the word I suggests personality. What is personality? It eludes definition like life, like love, like the atmosphere which we breathe. It is easy to discover its presence or its absence, but we cannot define it. The most real thing about any woman or man is their personality. The personality of a waiter should be pleasant. It was the personality of Nehemiah which attracted the king's attention to him. Through his service he gained an opportunity wich brought him into intimate relations with the king. So the service of a modern waiter brings him into direct contact with modern kings, kings of business, kings of state; and in every case he has an opportunity to study them. And best of all and perhaps worst of all it gives them an opportunity to study him and through him to study the race which he rep resents. "For I was the king's cup bearer." Nehemiah was not ashamed of his job. Some people have indulged in the foolish fancy that men who work with their brains are some notches higher than men who work with their hands, but that theory has been exploded long since. "For a man is a man for a that." No man can boast of his manhood simply because of the position he occupies in life. I want you men to dignify your jobs as waiters by being faithful. It is within my memory when every leading hotel in this country was manned by colored waiters. Why not now? It is due possibly to two reasons, social and economic. The ever increasing demands made by the middle class of white men for new jobs to meet the bread and butter problem. As the masses of the white race have increased there must be more openings made to supply their increasing needs, and hence they have taken the colored man's place. The second and main reason is because the colored waiter lightly esteemed his job. He did not say so but actions speak louder than words. How did our men act when they had the hotel monopoly? They were irregular; work one day, absent two. They were late, seldom on time. They neglected their personal appearance. They saved on the laundry bills in order to waste their earnings in the billiard room, bar room and on the crap game. They were unsanitary in appearance, long unkempt finger nails, unsteady hands, bleared eyes; all of which tell of late hours. I want to thank God this morning for the new waiter. You men who are gathered in this service represent the MR. GEOR The capable and courteous head w had charge of the opening of the Blu who is one of the most celebrated I successfully marshaled the waiters o at Allen Chapel last Sunday. MR. GEORGE SMITH.

The old waiter was usually a spendthrift. He made money easily, he spent it quickly. God made man right and the money making faculty is a gift from God and not from the devil. If some men did not save money and utilize it, the human family would starve. There are hosts of young men today who are selfishly spending on themselves every penny they make. They are laying the foundation for future poverty. Instead of being a benefit to the community, they are perfecting their lives to be berdens to the community. Mem remember that the man who spends everything on himself will sooner or later be spending somebody else's money on himself. TWO BEAUTIFUL STATUES. In the display window of the Muller Thym Catholic Art and Book Store 1332 Grand avenue, are two beautiful and impressive life-size statues that have attracted much favorable comment and more than ordinary curiosity. One is a statue of St. Benedict the Moor, and the other a statue of St. Ilygunda. The editor was so impressed with the beauty and singularity of these statues of African impression that he made inquiry of the management as to whom they were consigned and found they were a gift to St. Monica's Colored Roman Catholic Church from Hon. W. T. Johnson, a brilliant and generous white attorney of this city, who had them imported from There are many things which I would like to say to you men, but time will not permit. Man's sin and danger is self deception. Men should know themselves and believe in themselves more than they do. The old hymn was right when it said, "My God permit me not to be a stranger to myself and Thee." The first and greatest discovery for any man to make is that he has a never dying soul to save and to fit it for the skies. The modern religionist objects to the old song of our fathers and mothers, but I love it. "What must I do to be saved?" Men you must work out your own soul's salvation with fear and with trembling. Man's most fatal neglect is of himself; and the man who neglects himself disqualifies himself to serve others. On the wall of my study I have a little poem from Kipling. It is entitled "If," and next to the word of God it seems to me that the sentiments expressed by that poem have done me more good than anything else. "If" is the title of it. "If." "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you. But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting. Or being lied about don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch. And—which is more—you'll be a man, my son. No man has a right to call himself a full fledged man who is not a Christian and no man who is a Christian has a right to call himself a Christian and live outside of the church. I want to come down and open the doors of the church and whilst I am making a special appeal to the congregation as a whole, I am making a special appeal to these men who are here as waiters, who are representing you and representing me in these hotels. I want to ask you men "to let Jesus come into your heart." I want to speak about a man of precious memory. It is a little over a year ago: We sang that hymn and a man who was a waiter, a prominent young man of this church and community, Charlie Lewis by name, and as we sang that hymn, he came down that aisle with his hands in his vest pockets and joined the church. Within a fe wmonths of tat time that young man had been summoned home, "Let Jesus come into your heart." I want to plead with you men this morning to let Jesus come into your life. The choir is going to sing it and is there a man who will open the door and let Jesus come into his soul, and acknowledge the same by coming up and joining the church? AGE SMITH.

In the display window of the Muller-Thym Catholic Art and Book Store, 1332 Grand avenue, are two beautiful and impressive life-size statues that have attracted much favorable comment and more than ordinary curiosity. One is a statue of St. Benedict, the Moor, and the other a statue of St. Iffygunia.

W. T. Johnson, a brilliant and generous white attorney of this city, who had them imported from Italy at a cost of $300. The Sun congratulates St. Monica's upon having won such a warm-hearted and earnest friend as Mr. Johnson and realizes that much of the remarkable success of this parish is due to the untiring energy of Mrs. Jno. Lange and Mrs. C. H. Calloway, as well as the personal popularity of Father Cyprian, the priest in charge, whom to know is to love. Every Lodge is troubled with at least one member who is always in some sort of distress and clamoring for love above trestle. He unhealthy member, unable to work, yet he outlives all the rest and gets away to trestle again. It is coming to him. Sometimes he goes away from home and gets sick in some other town. Perhaps he has to take a trip to the strangers. He sets the machinery in motion and the Lodge soon hears from him. It takes him a long time to get it all done. It doesn't kill him. He is now out of work and has no funds. Will the brethren please help him? He is now陷井. He is more money is sent to him. Then he comes home looking very bad and incites more play. It is hard to say that he is grafting. We hate to think it. Yet we think he is a bad brother and widower and takes him. Perhaps this is simply our cross. At any rate we have to bear it, hoping for the crown some day. —HERRIFORD. For Sale—An elegant almost new $200 cash register and a Smith Premier typwriter, at a bargain.

AMUSEMENT PARK FOR NEGROES Land Near Nineteenth and Woodland to be Occupied by a $60,000 Concern. Articles of incorporation were filed in the circuit court yesterday, creating the Lincoln Electric Park Company, which will erect an amusement park for negroes. The company is capitalized at $60,000, and the officers are George H. Sledhoff, president; Loci Hector, vice-president, and Earl S. Ridge, secretary. The park will extend from Mayfield Avenue south to the Belt Line and from Woodland Avenue to Euclid Avenue. The park will open May 15—K. C. Star. At last the colored people of the two Kansas Cities, thirty-five thousand in number, are to have a beautiful amusement park in keeping with the needs and wishes of this great number of our people who during the past two years have absolutely no place for recreation, save limited privileges at Swope Park and the tennis court on the Paseo. While a group of public spirited white men are financing this proposition and making it possible for the negroes of Missouri and Kansas to have an acceptable and delightful place of enjoyment, they are also offering stock in any quantity to thrifty and farseeing colored people who desire to share in the profits and control of this much needed institution. The negro fraternal organizations of the city will be invited to participate in the opening ceremonies of this beautiful and splendidly located park and the Negro Business League is going to make strenuous effort to secure the attendance of the distinguished Dr. Booker T. Washington to be the speaker on this occasion, especially in view of the fact that the 1916 session of the National Negro Business League will be held in this city and many of its social features will more than likely be held in this park. Every negro who can should be a stockholder in this concern and those contemplating the purchase of stock had better hurry and see Mr. Ridge, the secretary of the Lincoln Electric Park whose offices are at 301-2-3 Finance Bldg. We wish to express our many thanks for the sympathy and kindness shown us during the illness and death of our baby, Marcell, also for the beautiful floral offerings. MR. and MRS. FRED S. DOUGLASS.

Then as the con- tents were revealed his rugged face broke into a smile, “A right royal handout!” he gloat: ed, “Chicken and cake, and biscuits ~-all buttered, too. Must have had a banquet at that house last night.” Neal sat down on a pile of boards and started in to discuss the tempting viands that lay before him. In his grateful mind was a memory of the Pleasant little housewife who had so sumptuously provided for him, “It’s been hard grubbing for a day or two,” solfloquized Neal, “but this makes up for it all. It's better than free lunch—and without the tempta- tion. I don't pick up much work, but I'm in a ‘dry’ district, That's my-only safety zone, and T'll stick!” He was a good-natured and a good- looking fellow. Too good-natured b- far he had been in the past. It had led to his grieving a sweet fond girl. It had ended in her father forbidding him the house. That was a good many miles from Neal's present town—ot temporary residence, Neal saw the Justice of his dismissal, for Mr, Par- Sons was poor and Neal was spoiling the chances for marriage for his daughter, Florence. Neal bad lost his position through being too easy-going with a reckless, dissipated set. He left town and Florence, Work was not easy to pick pid dag lit hisacse i we ae | ae Ie ss | Z| | Bel ieee T- as i up and idleness killed his ambition. He became a wanderer, then a tramp. He was one now, as a matter of fact, For 4 month, however, he had bet- tered in one respect. A drinking bout had got him in with a criminal crowd, and had he not abandoned them he would have landed where they did—in the penitentiary. ‘The experience scared him, He took refuge in a local option district, He had not tasted Nquor for a month. With sobriety had come sane saddened thoughts of tho girl he had left behind him, He had faithfully sought work, but did not find it to do, So, hand-outs had become his portion, “Hello!” ejaculated Neal in a sud- den sprightly way. There had come a rustling in the bushes behind him and then a big handsome collie dog bounded in front of him, sniffed towards the outspread lunch and then sat up and held out a paw ‘Shake, old fellow!" hailed Neal. “Hungry? I see you are. All right. We ll make it ffty-fifty, and there you are!” It did Neal good to see the half- famished anfmal enjoy the toothsome meal, which he divided evenly with him. It was getting on toward dusk. Neal had tramped a good many miles that day, He chose a soft grass plat Just off the road and stretched him- self out ‘The dog made no demur, more than content to stay with his new master a6 long as the latter smoked and spoke to him, As Néal closed his eyes for a nap, however, the animal got up near to him, pulled his sleeve, pranced about, showed plainly that he did not consider it bedtime, nor the site of the siesta favorable for rest and comfort. “What you trying to tell me, old fellow?” queried Neal whimsically, “Want me to go somewhere? All right—march ahead.” ‘The animal at once adopted the methods of a guide. Down the road he proceeded, then across a lot and darting along a narrow lane arrived at an old barn structure, He looked invitingly at Neal as he entered its doorway, There was a pair of se a loft with sufficient ‘old bay on its floor to make a yery comfortable bed, “Well, well,” laughed Neal—tit for tat! I share my. meal and you pilot me to a first-class bed. Good for you, ‘Towser!” ‘They became close chums, those two, during the next few days, ‘The ‘constant companionship of the anima pleased und cheered Neal, As to ‘Fowser, a grateful sample of tru fidelity he seemed to be supremely One night, however, when "they arrived the bara, they foun dt was not so dark but that Neal could Fs Sete WA fo are, FEL ee th Tt had begun to rain and man and dog had tramped a long distance that afternoon, Neal looked for temporary shelter, He found {t at the side of the house in a vine-embowered arbor. A long bench invited him to rest and then unconsciously to slumber, Tt must have beon three or four hours later when Neal awoke, Tow: ser was pulling at his coat. Neal sat up and then sprang to bis feut, as from the inside of the house an echo: ing scream of terror or pain rang out. “Something wrong,” uttered Neal all his keen senses shrewdly alert in ‘an instant, “and Towser knows It.” ‘The dog, with an eager impatient ‘glance back at his master, had start- ‘ed for the house, Neal followed. The front door was open. Down the hall the dog stole to where a door stood partly ajar. Beyond it Neal peered for the moment, horrified and spellbound, Across a table in his night dress lay the hermitlike occupant of the house —old Jacob Wise, He was tied across it. ‘There was a fire in the stove, and stuck between its red hot bars was a poker. A roughlooking man was standing over the aged Wise, “Now then, I've got you safe and sound,” he was saying. “You've got a fortune hidden away in some odd cor: ner of this old house and I want it, understand?” Jacob Wise made no response. The robber drew the poker from the stove. “Tell where that money is,” he spoke, “or I'll give you a touch of this.” ‘The intruder waved the red hot poker menacingly. He moved It across the bare soles of his victim's feet. “ri tell! Jt burns! I'll tell!” shrieked the tortured old man. Just then Neal pushed open the door. The intruder turned quickly, Neal sprang at him, They grappled. Then the robber pressed a revolver against the side of his opponent. The last thing that Neal Barrett saw as he sank unconscious to the floor was the dog, his teeth at the throat of the wretch who had downed his master. ‘The waking moment came days later, although Neal did not realize that ‘fact when he first roused up. In amazement he stared, Old Jacob Wise sat at his bedside in a comfort- able room. ‘Through an open door. way, moving about engaged in domes- tic dutles, Neal saw Florence Par- sons! “Ah! better!” chuckled the old miser. “Good boy! T've been awfully anxious. Know her?” and he nodded his head towards the tidy, graceful figure {n the next apartment. "Yes," whispered Neal weakly, but his face aglow with tenderness and delight. “She's true blue,” declared the old man fervently, How “true blue," Neal Barrett knew after a little explanation, ‘The faith- ful Towser had driven the robber away, terribly lacerated, Jacob Wise, grateful to man and dog who had ‘saved to him a part of his hoarded for- ‘tune, had given Neal the best care possible. Some memoranda found on Neal had advised Wise of the existence of Florence. He had written her. She had come to nurse the unfortunate man she still loved, *TIl call her in now," advised Wise. "She knows I'm going to start you out on a new life, with plenty of capital. You're a brave man, and that dog shall have a real silver collar. As to the young lady—don’t miss your chance to get a good wife.” Which Neal did not, and Towser, loyal, valiant Towser! ‘was not shut out from guestship when the happy wedding took place.

During an wutomobile trip last sum mer a San Francisco man stopped one night with a party of teamsters in the mountains, Strolling about the camp, he noted that many of the men had put their blankets under the wagons. One man, however, had taken particular pains to carry his bedding a consider. able distance away from the wagons and the rest of the men. Seeing him thus by himself he asked the man why he did not sleep under the wagons the same as the others. “Who—met” asked the old fellow as he twisted around in his blankets. “Not much.

There are the Victorian colffures,and that very youth- ful and original arrangement of the hair called the “Bobby.” Then there are the coiffures in which the hair is uncurled, combed back plainly and ar- ranged in a long soft puff on top of the head and extending’ down over the middle of the forehead.

Nearly all the new coiffures show the hair waved and curled and follow- ing the contour of the head closely. ‘They rely upon short curls more than DECORATIONS IN THE HOME Especial Feature of the Moment Is the Lavish Use That Is Being Made of Lace. Lace assumes more and more the important place in the domain of home furnishing. It is so important that upholsterers have to employ Iacemak- ers and are obliged to make lace pur- chases on a considerable scale. Among other things, planos and win- dows are draped with lace, leaving room for legitimate upholstery to come afterward. All styles are available. ‘The “renaissance” combines with lace of quite modern origin. And, combin- ing with all and second to none in fashion or effect, is the old-fashioned crochet.

I wish that those in charge of these investigations could get into the South and trace the influence of the Rockefeller and Carnegie money in bringing about bet- ter supervision of the schools by rea- son of the work of the state super- visors; could trace the influence of these boards in the work of the coun- ty supervisors, in the work that the farm demonstration agents are doing, in the work of the canning clubs and pig clubs. 1 wish the influence of this money could be followed into the col- loges, the farms and into the homes of the people. It 1s here that the in- fluence of the money from these boards may be felt and seen in the bringing about of higher civilization for white and black people. Through the education of both races we are getting rid of the crime of lynching. ‘Twenty-two years ago there were 225 cases of lynchings, mainly in the South; in 1914 there were only 52 cases of lynchings, a re- duetion of 400 per cent. Through education the white and the black races are being taught how to live together and work together. There are numerous state and local organizations that now bring the races together in friendly and helpful co- operation. Among these are the Vir- ginla Organization society, the South- ern Sociological congress, the Busl- ness league, chambers of commerce and women's clubs. ‘The buildings of the various instl- tutes at Tuskegee were shown to a visiting party as model schoolhouses, types of the new and better school system which Alabama is trying to multiply.

Frederick Douglas for two or three decades was one of the favorites of the lyceum, which he abandoned only after the emancipation of his race. Douglis was beyond all comparison the ablest man whom the black race ever produced in our country, either among the pure black or the class of mixed blood. He himself was a mulatto. His father was pure white of a distin- gulshed Maryland family. His mother Was pure black and his father's slave —that Is, his mother was a pure black and his father a pure white. Ho always gave his mother the credit of bis talents. Douglas was born a slave, In early manhood he managed to escape on a ship, and landed in New Bedford, Mass. There he soon learned to read, and worked at such work as he could find. By and by he attended antislavery meet: ings, and soon became a popular speaker and the pet of the abolition- iste, His grapble accounts of bie life as a slave were very popular. From giving the story of his life, he gradually branched out into discus. sions of the political questions of the day, and, next to Phillips, was prob- ably the ablest orator of the antl slavery movement, Eventually he went to Rochester and published, for many years, a weekly antislavery pa- per. Its title was Frederick Douglas’ Paper, which, next to Garrison's Lib: erator and the Antislavery Standard, was recognized as the ablest antislay- ery paper In America. ‘Then he became a lecturer, and his fame spread so rapidly that he took rank in the favor of the lecture-going public with Phillips and the other leading lights of the lyceum, When Lincoln came into power, Douglas ‘moved to Washington, and was ap- pointed to office in the District of Col umbia as marshal, a position he held during the entire period of Lincoin's administration. Douglas’ first wite was a plantation Negress without any education, A few years ago he married again. His sec- ond wife was white, and a woman of education and ability.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAYSCIHOOL weap eESSON Sth sa daaibtonane kde eli: dan ma ences he aie eth m nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.~Prov. 1434. According to Professor Beecher the extent of the period we have been studying during the last quarter is 882 years, from the death of Joshua B. ©, 1434 to the relgn of Saul, which began B. C. 1102. Though’ other chronologists may differ slightly, this 4s approximately correct, We may roughly divide this period Into the republic of God and the king- dom of man. In the first section we studied the period of tho, Judges, Barak, Gideon, Samson and Samuel; one prophetess, Deborah; also the priest Eli and his sons; Samuel and Ahlah; and Ruth, who was an ances- tress of our great high priest. In the second section we considered Saul the king, and a prince, Jonathan, Saul’s son, While the lessons may thus be roughly divided, yet we feel that a general review of the charac: ters and tho principal lesson to be Jearned from each will perhaps be the most profitable form of review. ‘There are four things to be said about each character and his relation to the events occurring in Israel: (1) ‘The people had departed from God; there was disobedience and a rel gious decline. (2) God permitted on the part of Israel's enemies oppression that finally became unbearable. (3) ‘There was repentance on the part of the people and an appeal to God for help. (4) God ralsed up a judge who “saved” the people and through this Judge wonderful acts were performed showing his power and the favor which rested upon Israel. The adult classes can profitably discuss such questions as, “Why did the people so easily, forsake God?” “Why and how id their repentance so quickly lead to their deliverance?” “How did God help the people to return unto him?" “What were the methods and the prin- ciples used in God's punishment of the people's sins?” “Was this form of government tn vogue a failure!” Coming to the second section, many ‘questions suggest themselves: “What advantages and opportunities did Saul, the first king, have?” "How did his failure begin?” “What was the es- sential differenco between tho king- dom of Saul and the Republic of God under tho Judges?” “What aro the outstanding characteristics of Jona- ‘than’s Ife and character?” “What oe message for today do these characters and these two forms of ‘government have?” Doctor Torrey Suggests a profitable form of review, viz, a doctrinal review: (1) The teachings of the lessons of the past quarter aboutyJehovah and the Holy Spirit; (2) The preview, types and ‘manifestations of the Lord Jesus; (8) The teaching about sin and the ‘particular sins mentioned; and (4) ‘The teachings about the word of God. Of course to do all this, or to follow any part of these suggestions wil. de- mand that much work shall be as- signed in advance and that great care shall be exeycised to make any one ‘of these lines a connected and inter- esting whole.

It someone can be secured who is moderately successful in using the blackboard an interesting review can bo presented to younger scholari by making a drawing presenting a “hall of fame," with panels for Deborah, Gideon, Ruth, Samuel and Jonathan. Another drawing may, by comparison, be termed the “rogues’ gallery,” and may have in it panels for Samson, Hit, Elt's sons, and Saul. ‘Then tell, as simply as possible, the salient points in tho history of each and show how God approved or disapproved of their lives; which were used, and which set aside.

M. Newman, a travel lecturer, started through the Holy Land with his camera, he declared he must get "something different" in that much photographed country. He did, but he had his troubles, for the Mohammed despises the camera as an instrument of the devil, and a great many of the inhabitants of Palestine are followers of the prophet. Writing in the New York Sun, Mr. Newman says of his tri: Our first experience with the Mohammedans was when we stopped on a roadside between Jaffa and Ramleh, the modern name for Arimathea, whence came Joseph, who offered his tomb at Jerusalem for the burial of Jesus Christ. We saw a man driving two camels that were dragging a sharp stick through the earth and turning the scrubby soil into furrows. It was a subject that answered several requirements of the desirable picture. It was unusual enough to offer a certain human interest. It was artistic. It was one of the best photographs that I was able to get illustrating the survival of ancient manners and customs in Palestine. But we found, as we often found along the roads of Palestine, that the gentleman had been spoiled for our purpose by two agencies—his own people's superstition and the foreigners with their jingling purses. Too many tourists have passed along these roads taking it for granted that they would never pass that way again, and some of them have distributed money with a prodigal hand. The tourist with a little hand camera has too often tossed the peasant a quarter where a few cents would have done as well. But it was not the money that caused the first tangle with the fol- JERUSALEM Copyright, Underwood & Underwood SCENE IN BETHLEHEM lower of the prophet.

We did not come upon them in occupations as interesting; they seemed never to be so picturesque as their Mohammedan Brethren. when our shrill crill was approw as approach which he toward us. him she and seemed. The man in Arabic key and n Didn't Know It Was a "Movie." Now any Mohammedan knows that to click the camera before a camel destroys the animal's soul. Just exactly what a camel's soul is we endeavored to learn, but none of the men who were certain that it had one could enlighten us. When an animal's soul is destroyed, however, anything is likely to happen to it. But after offers of much money—much more than man and camel would earn in a day—the driver seemed to forget that his camel might easily thereafter fall a victim to the evil eye if he failed to suspend a string of blue beads from its neck. Here we found, as we found afterward, that money was the best cure for the cloud of Mohammed hanging over men's eyes. The man swore at us immediately we began to bargain for his photograph, however, and we didn't know at that time about a camel's soul and the driver wouldn't accept our figure. He was wise. He knew that to be photographed one must pose, so he During their war with Russia, the Japanese troops were supplied with waders made of mulberry leaf as a protection against injury to health caused by wet feet in the trenches. Particulars now come of an improved form of wader, of British invention. The new wader is made of a fibrous substance much cheaper than mulberry leaf. It is light, warm, waterproof, antiseptic, and impervious to attack by insects. A pair of the waders made of this material weighs about two and one-half ounces. The waders are made in two sizes—medium and large. The wader is kept in position by buttons or braces. For occasions like a bayonet charge, when the utmost freedom for the leg and foot is necessary, the portion of the wader worn over and above the knee would be turned down. Winning the Multitude's Ear. Does not experience prove that influence over men's minds is gained only by offering them the difficult, nay, the impossible, to perform or believe? Offer only things that are decided to/spoll the picture, and, not knowing about the cinema camera, he started off and gave his land the fastest plowing it had had since the days of Moses. While I had no way of anticipating this action it completely suited my purpose. One need no longer wait for the slow clicking of a stationary camera; it is the day of the cine and action is wanted. So the peasant didn't know that he was being "immortalized" as a mighty plowman in Palestine for the amusement of American audiences—and perhaps he had never heard of America, excepting as a distant country whence came Christian dogs with cameras that yearned for the souls of camels. Trying to Pose "Ruth." One day as we were approaching Bethlehem we looked into a valley of ripening grain and sallow olive trees. "There are the fields of Boaz where Ruth gleaned," said our dragoman, and perhaps association of ideas caused us to halt at the roadside. A woman was sitting on the ground before a pile of wheat and chaff. She had been threshing the little bundles of grain that her daughter, an attractive girl of perhaps fourteen years, had gleaned in the large fields near by. Here was Ruth of 1914. At least we thought so and immediately entered into negotiations with her mother for her to pose. The girl was shy and the mother hesitated for a moment, but the jingle of two shillings made them think differently, and the girl consented to be rehearsed in the little drama that she was to play before the camera—she was told to do exactly as she had been doing with her little bundles of wheat, no bigger around than her wrist. The camera was put into position on a stone pile and the operator was about to begin to turn the handle Copyright. Underwond & Underwond when our attention was attracted by shrill cries down the road. A man was approaching on a little donkey, which he was clubbing and galloping toward us. Immediately the girl heard him she squatted beside her mother and seemed to be very much frightened. The man shouted something at us in Arabic as he jumped from his donkey and made a gesture toward the camera, but, seeming to realize that it was the girl we wanted to snap, he stood in front of her as he scolded her and her mother for their willingness to accommodate us in the matter of posing. After she had explained to him the man told us that she was his girl wife and that he thanked the prophet for permitting him to arrive in time to save her from disgrace. "Ten years from now," he said, "the people of this village may point their fingers at my wife and say: 'There is a girl who was willing to stand before a Christian dog's camera for two francs.'" From Bothelem we went into the Judean wilderness to attempt to snap shepherds with their flocks of sheep and goats. We met with little opposition from these lonely, half starved lads, who when they were Christians thankfully accepted the fee we gave them and when they were Mohammedans begged for more money and then cursed us in the name of the Prophet as we departed. reasonable and all the world will answer, "We knew as much as that." But enjoin things that are hard, impracticable; paint the Deity as ever armed with thunder; make blood run before altars, and you will win the multitude's car and everybody will say of you: "He must be right or he would not so boldly proclaim things so marvelous."—Exchange.

Dress Aprons Always Useful Addition to the Housewife's Wardrobe—Treatment of Shoes That Are Spotted by Water. Dress aprons are useful additions to the wardrobe of the woman who does her own housework, remarks the New York Times. These are seen at their best when colored linens are used. The tans, green, blue, old red and brown look well with a narrow band of contrasting color or tiny piping of plain white linen bordering neck and armholes. The same careful woman protects her hair from dust while busy about the home by wearing a dainty cap made of white mull and lace over a wire frame. This frame is turban shape, and is economical inasmuch as the wire frame protects the colfure from disarrangement. For the housewife who thinks in advance this is the time to purchase really excellent half silk hose at the surprisingly low figure of 35 cents a pair. These were shown at one of the large downtown stores in black, tan and many of the newer shades. An inventive young woman recently purchased a dozen pairs of these hose—which were plain. She then embroidered on them small delicate designs of polka dots, tiny rosebuds, and even a pattern of tiny clover blossoms done in French knots with silk of the same shade as the stockings. If gloves or shoes of any color but black have become spotted by water and are allowed to dry there is no hope for them. They are irreparably ruined. But if, while they are still damp, they are kept on hands or feet and rubbed with a damp cloth, the spots will disappear. Then brush briskly with a dry soft woolen cloth. A young business woman manages a dainty conception in collars and cuffs over her blue serge office frock by a novel use of narrow hemstitched or embroidered edge handkerchiefs. Two handkerchiefs made a set. One is folded cornerwise and cut in half. These pieces, with the cut edge hemmed, are the cuffs. The second handkerchief is also cut in half and one half hollowed out to fit the neck. The remaining half is again, cut in two parts and folded over the bodice in the form of revers. These套 are inexpensive and give an attractive touch to the office dress. DESIGNED TO HOLD NEEDLES Practical and Handy Little Book That Can Be Made in Materials of Many Colors.

In dining rooms there are certain general rules to be observed in their decoration. In even the most unassuming house the dignity of this room should be preserved. At the same time we should be careful in designing an elaborate and expensive one not to have it overwearing in the magnificence of its decorations or severe in its elegance. It should be so designed as to promote to the uttermost the feeling of geniality and good cheer, and the decoration can actually go far toward furthering this most desirable result. The colonial dining room is apt to be cold in its effect, and I have often corrected this fault by a discreet use of potted plants, inside window boxes, etc. The Dutch dining room sometimes has an excess of platters, and I have seen a French room that was wearisome in its tapestries, gildings EVENING GOWN Model by Wingrove, Paris, Shows the Apron Tunic of White Taffeta, With Tight Skirt of Draped Taffeta.

DISTINCTIVE VALUE OF BLACK Makes Most Effective Foil Ever Devised for the More Brilliant Colors. The decorative value of black as a foli for brilliant colors, which finds its peculiarly modern expression in wide hems and bands, was no doubt suggested to the couturiers by the magnificent imperial coats of the Chinese, to which special attention was attracted after the looting of Pekin in 1900. On many of these brilliant garments the gorgeous colors and the gold designs are, as it were, framed by broad bands of black, and there is no doubt that the shining dragons and radiant blossoms gain a hundredfold by contrast with this sable setting. It is striking to notice how one slight but very definite note of color introduced on a black or dark blue toilet can give it just all the distinction in the world. It may be supplied by the long ostrich feather of flaming red or Florentine green which adorns a hat, or a splash of vivid orange against a background of dark blue or perhaps simply a large pink malmison tucked into a waist belt. IDEA FOR CHILDREN'S PARTY May Be Help to Worried Mothers at a Loss to Know How to Entertain Guests. A charming children's party given last year at a little town on Lake Champlain displayed souvenirs that the hostess had herself made. This little lady, who was scarcely twelve years old, was gifted with her pencil and had made on various occasions a profile drawing of each little friend. These on the important day were shown cut out in black paper and mounted on white cardboard after the manner of silhouettes. The delight of the little guests can be imagined, for everybody wants a picture of herself! It is always gracious, when it can be afforded, to give some little trifles at a child's party, for small hearts always expect gifts. But as the true spirit of giving is self-denial, the little mistress of the day should contribute some of her pocket money toward them, or else be shown that the work of her own hands provides a far more elegant gift than anything which can be bought. New Mesh Bags. New and quaint are the German all- silver mesh bags with their little round tops that clasp and gathered meshes which suggest the bags our grand-mothers carried. and rococo effects. The corrective for all of these fallings, it goes without saying, is good taste—Kate Greenleaf Locke, in the Kansas City Star. Scarfs Match Hangings. The scarfs for the furniture of your room may be made to match the hangings by cutting out single motifs of cretonne and applying them to the scarf ends. Place them on the material in an attractive way and baste. They can either be sewed with an over-and-over stitch around the edge or buttonhole in place. If, however, you wish a quicker method, machine stitch close to the edge around the entire motif. White Belts. One of the white serge suits made for southern wear shows an unusual belt. It is of dull white leather, about two inches wide, perhaps narrower. It is fastened in front by means of a leather covered buckle, and on the left side, a few inches from the buckle, is a little pocket, just about the width of the belt. It chasps shut with a snap fastener. REALIZE VALUE OF HONEY Its Sweetening Qualities Seem Never to Have Been Sufficiently Recognized. Few housewives realize the value of honey, yet in sweetening qualities it surpasses sugar. Grapefruit, for instance, is much enhanced by a treatment with honey. Prepare as you would for breakfast when sugar is used, only prepare the night before. Spread the fruit with a thick layer of honey and let stand till morning. It will then be found that the fruit has absorbed the honey. Apples baked with honey are another delicacy not too well known. In this recipe also the apples are prepared just the same as though for sugar. For six or eight apples take four tablespoonfuls of honey. Mix with one cupful of fine bread crumbs and a half teaspoonful each of cinnamon and lemon extract. Fill the apples, which have been peeled and cored, with the mixture and bake in a porcelain-lined baking dish that has been well greased. For bread pudding make a custard, using one cupful milk and three tablespoonfuls honey and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boiling point and add two well-beaten eggs. Take from the fire and stir till cool, then pour over stale bread toasted lightly and dusted lightly with cinnamon. Bake in a moderate oven half an hour. Spice cake can be much improved by using honey instead of sugar. Cream together one scant cupful butter and one and one-half cupful honey. Add alternately two well-beaten eggs, one-half cupful milk three cupfuls flour in which two tea-spoonfuls baking powder have been sifted, one cupful each of raisins and currants and one tablepoonful all spice. Bake in a moderate oven until brown. USING FRUIT THAT IS SOFT Various Methods by Which It May Be Prepared in Appetizing Way for the Table. Any fresh fruit that has become soft, should be cooked at once with a little sugar added to make a sauce, or it can be made into jelly. Any left-over canned fruit may be rubbed through a sieve and used for a sauce. It may be put into ice cream or molded into a cornstarch or rice mixture. Apple parings and cores should be stewed to a pulp and then strained. This will make a jelly which, spread on apple tart, will greatly improve it. It can also be used for flavoring tapioca pudding. Orange peel and lemon peel may be used for flavoring sauces and stewed fruits. They can be dried and kept a glass-covered jar until used. Stale Bread. Small bits of stale bread may be slowly dried in the oven until crisp and brittle, then ground in a meat chopper or rolled. These bread crumbs should be kept in a covered glass jar, and may be used for frying croquettes, etc. Larger pieces of stale bread may be eaten with soup in place of crackers or used to make croutons for soup (croutons are little squares of bread fried in fat. They are usually served with pea, bean and creamed soups). Small pieces and broken slices of stale bread may be used for stuffing, for griddle cakes, bread omelet and puddings. Coffee Fritters. Coffee fritters may be made as follows: into one-half pint of boiling hot strong coffee that has been strained, stir one-half cup butter. When this boils up stir in one pint of flour; let cook five minutes, beating all the time, then take off and turn into an earthen dish. When cool break five eggs into a dish, but do not beat them, then turn one egg at a time into the cool mixture and beat with the hand till well mixed, which will be about twenty minutes. Drop the paste in teaspoonfuls into boiling fat and fry until they crack open. Fill with coffee filling. Tomato Sauce for Baked Eggplant. One-half can tomatoes, one-half tea spoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful butter, one teaspoonful sugar. Let these cook 20 minutes. Mix one teaspoonful cornstarch with a little water and add to tomatoes. Cook two minutes. Strain through a sieve. Mix the yolk of one egg in a saucepan with one tablespoonful cold water. Add tomatoes, stirring constantly. Return a few minutes to the fire. Heat to boiling point, but do not allow to boil. Add a little cream. Beef Stew. Cut away the skin and fat from three pounds of the rump of beef. Put it into a stewpan with one quart of broth or water and let it boil up; season with salt and pepper. When this has been simmering for two hours shred half the peel of a lemon finely and add to the gravy. Take up the gravy and place it where it will keep warm. Thicken and color the gravy, flavor with hot sauce and lemon juice and pour over the meat. To have a thorough housecleaning, not forgetting the cellar. To start the fight against the fly. To disinfect for moths, roaches, etc., before the breeding time. To spread fertilizer on the garden if it was not put on the ground in the fall. To prepare for the planting in the garden.—Woman's Home Companion. Pineapple Lemonade One cupful of sugar, one of water, one of pineapple juice, and two lemons. Boll sugar and water until it spins a light thread. Put the pineapple through the fruit press and add to the stirup with the juice of the lemons. When ready to serve, add water and sugar.

After the society was established the French officers presented Washington with a handsome insignia studded with precious stones, and the ribbon bore the words, "Presented in the name of the French soldiers to his excellency, General Washington." It was this which Lossing confused when he wrote in his "Mount Vernon" that the French officers presented Washington with a Sevres dinner set bearing the Cincinnati decorations. A glance at any piece of the Cincinnati set shows that it is not china at all, but Cantonese pottery, and it is a well-founded family tradition with the Washington and Curtis descendants that the Cincinnati dishes, of which there were originally breakfast, dinner and tea sets, were presented to General and Mrs. Washington by the American officers. Soon after Miss Lee came to Washington this winter the subject was broached to her again, and as she chanced to have one of the plates out of storage she decided to present it to the collection. It is a medium-sized dinner plate, with the deep blue mottled border and gold lines of the Cantonese ware, and in its center is the figure of Fame holding a trumpet to her lips with one hand, while with the other she bears aloft the insignia of the Society of Cincinnati. During a call upon Miss Wilson at the White House Miss Lee presented the plate to her for the collection, and it was placed in the cabinets in the lower corridor of the mansion.

KANSAS CITY, KAS Y. M. C. A. NOTES NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK March 21-27. Burton Rogers says: “It is all right to honor our ancestors and to observe certain days that are set apart to commemorate their deeds. But in these ‘days of concentration of time and effort, why not let our ancestors rest in peace and set aside a few days for the noble purpose of bettering the conditions in which we live, and those that will surround our descendants.” Such is the expression of one of the agitators in a moyement for public health days to beset aside by the Presdent of the United States, togeth- er with the governors of states and mayors of cities, for the promotion of hygiene and sanitation and the pre- vention of disease. While this movement is still in the embryo with the dominant race, a siinilar movement, among our people, is now pulling its wings from the co- coon in the first National Negro Health Week, which begins March 21, 1915, and which will be observed an- nually hereafter.

Capi- talists have realized that loons and mortgages—all other things being equal—are safest when made to per- sons in good health. Great corpora. tions have learned that health has a cash yalue in business and are ex pending large sums of money in safe- guarding the health of their employes, not only at work but at home, In a word, it has been discovered that health is a prerequisite to efficient service in any capacity. If it is a vital necessity to society in general, it is, then, a vital necessity in the superlative degree to us. Ra- cial health statistics point out that at all seasons of the year too large a per centage of our Wage earners ate con: fined to the sick bed, and, consequent ly, kept from work. They also show that too large a percentage of our peo ple die annually from tuberculosis pneumonia ‘ind organic diseases o! the heart and kidneys, and that we have a higher death rate than the other race, Hecaaal aamatticne: Gan and coun te Mrs, Mary Ellen Jenkins is up and out pein.

Out of the full realization of this fact has come the National Negro Health Movement which has set aside a week to be devoted annually to the better ment of health conditions among the people. Another reason for bettering the health and decreasing the death rate among us is to place the race in a Position to demand lower life insur. ance rates. It is to our credit that we have seen the value of life insur. ance in the accumulation of wealth, and that we pay millions of dollars annually to this end. The pity is that we are charged a higher rate than other people because statistics show that we have a higher death rate, ‘The same amount of money, paid to the insurance companies at a lower rate, would add millions of dollars to the total value of policies held by us, and would make a like addition to the ageresate wealth of the race. Let us not forget, also that press. ing social conditions, closing in upon us from all sides, demand our best qualities, not only of spirit but. of mind and body as well, Grappling, as we are, in a life and death strug. gle against discrimination and exclu: sion from the pursuit of honest toil ‘driven from one occupation to another by the beast of modern industrialism, We must have both health and cour: age to survive, One of the first principles of hygienc Is cleanliness, not only of one's per. son but of one’s habitation. So it is altogether fitting and proper that the first health week should be de. signated ae “clean up” week, and that the people be instructed and urged to open the doors and windows to let in the air and sunshine, sweep and clean, Wash and scrub and boil, varnish and paint and whitewash. Specific instruc: tions have been issued from headquar ters and appear elsewhere in this is sue of the Sun, There are some whe laugh at the idea, but they are of the half that knows not how the other half lives, nor do they appreciate the erying need of stich measures among the people in general. It is, there fore, to be hoped that this worth3 movement receives the indorsement and active support of those per sons and otganizations—the press churches, schools, lodges, clubs, etc —best in a position to foster it, an that the good people everywhere wil sanction it with their hearts and thei hante. C. H. Calloway as captain of the Blues and L. A. Knox captain of the Reds, with their leutenants and as- sistants, Wednesday night, launched what is expected to be the greatest spring campaign in the history of the Association, The effort is to last thirteen days, March 25th to April 7th. ‘The goal set is for two hundred and fifty (250) new members, men and boys. This will push the membership far over the six hundred mark. The rivalry getween the sides is intense. Although both captains have led cam- paigns in the past, neither has ever been defeated. Back of each captain are veteran lieutenants and workers who vow they will win, ‘The boys are paralleling the men’s campaign with a special campaign for boys.

An appreciative audience heard Blind Boone, famous colored pianist, at the Central Church of Christ last night. Despite the fact that the veteran musician has been “on the road” for thirty-five years, he still possesses that power to hold his audiences spellbound with his renditions of everything from old time plantation melodies to the classics. The audience last night heard him In thosp old melodies, in popular selections and in the masterpieces and they liked him in them all. ‘They let him know it and Blind Boone showed his own appreciation by his broad smile and the rhythmic sway- ing of his body, always an indication of satisfaction on his part. Among the more difficult renditions were the “Hungarian Rhapsody Num- ber 12” by Liszt, “Selections from Il Trovators,” and the "Military Polon- aise,” by Chopin, He played also a number of old colored campmeeting songs and a few popular songs, hits of today. ‘The musician spent a happy hour yesterday with Josef Hofmann, cele- brated pianist, who played here in concert last night also, “He seemed really happy to sve me,” smniled the old musician last night. “He used to play by ear too, you know,” he added by way of ex- planation. Assisting the pianist were Miss Jessie Brosius, contralto and Miss Melissa Fuell, soprano. ‘The pianist played a number of his own productions including the fam- ous “Marshfield Tornado,” “Old Ken- tucky Home Variations,” and a num- ‘ber of campmeeting songs.—Register and Leader.

ANDERSON ENDORSED Last December we, the officers and members of the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church called to the pastorate of our church the Rev. S. A. Anderson at that time pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Paducah, Ky. He came to us highly recommended. And we can say without fear of contradiction that he has conducted himself in no other way except that which is becoming to a moral, intellectual minister of the Gospel. Whether visiting in our homes or engaged in service at the church, his conduct is always the same. Since coming to this city Rev. Anderson has made many friends and the church has taken on new life, members are being added, all auxillaries are doing creditable work. We are making plans for the erection of a new church; we have only $313.26, but the pastor is maki ngan effort to add more. We wish there were more intelligent, moral Baptist ministers like Rev. Anderson. Everyone is welcome to attend our services. We hope that the prominent ministers of the twin cities will co-operate with our pastor. We are pleased to have a gentleman as pastor of this church. Rev. Anderson is a business man. At one time he was editor of the Christian Record in Omaha, Nebra., and has in his possession, letters from the prominent white citizens of that city commending him for his business ability and moral standing. He owns a grocery store at 121 Westport Ave., and we hope everyone will give him their support. J. T. Haskell, John Ralls, Joseph Collins, Henry Thornton, F. E. Jones. Mrs. Emma E.

PERTS GIVE RESULTS OF STUDY AND EXPERIMENT, UNDERGROUND VEGETABLES ome Facts About Roots and Under Ground Stems That Are Eaten as Vegetables—Cooking Starch. ete, {Tse quantities of water, tn addition to starch or some similar ma: terial, a little nitrogenous matter, and mineral matter. ‘The roots and stems store materials for future growth dur. ing favorable seasons. Plants that store most of their food as Insoluble starch (as potatoes and cassava) are known as “starch-bearing plants,” while those which store much of thelr food tn the form of soluble carboby- @rates (sugar in the case of the beet) which give the root a more or less Juicy character are classed as “suc- culent roots.” In northern regions the potato is the most {portant of the starch-bear- ing plants. In the southern states the sweet potato is more generally used. One reason why the potato has. be- come such a favorite is doubtless its Jack of pronounced flavor. It Larmon- fees with foods having a more positive taste, and one does not tire of it as one would of the continuous use of turnip oF squash, ‘Then, too, {t {s eas- fly grown, gives an abundant yield, and may be readily stored for winter use, How Much Should Potatoes Weigh? Potatoes should weigh 60 pounds to the bushel, or 15 pounds to the peck. As three oF four average potatoes will together weigh one pound, a peck should number trom 40 to 66 ‘The oftener potatoes are handled In their transit from producer to con- sumer the poorer thelr quality and the greater the percentage of refuse When received from the market it is desirable to sort them carefully, that those of the same size may be cooked together—smooth, medium ones to be baked; large ones to be steamed in their skins; and imperfect and infer- for ones to be pared before boiling. Any portions that are dark-colored or green should be removed, as they may impart a bad flavor to the rest. Sprouts should be broken from pota- toes before cooking. When potatoes are old and wrinkled they are much improved by cutting off ‘the ends or by partially or wholly par- ing and by soaking in cold water for Several hours like dried beans, ete In fact, inferior potatoes of any age are niuch {mproved by paring and soaking Where potatoes are inexpensive or the parings can be fed to animals it 18 often a profitable custom to pare be- fore cooking, since thus imperfections and strongflavored portions are dis- posed of, leaving a nearly pure starck, comparable to arrowroot or tapioca and ready for the table as soon as cooked; this Is true notwithstanding (hat careful {nvestigations have proved that such cooking causes com siderable loss of the nutrients in the potato. When potatoes are the only vegeta- ble attainable it might be wiser to cook them without paring, so that their mineral salts may be retained, | but people who use salad plants and other vegetables freely are justified in considering chiefly convenience and palatability in the preparation of these tubers. Often ft 1s a convenience for the housekeeper who has several dishes to prepare at once just before dinner to have the potatoes pared earlier in the day. Most good cooks believe that it is wiser to discard the water in which potatoes are boiled, as it is likely to be strong tn flavor. Potato flour may be found tn large groceries and is used in cakes and for thickening purposes in much the same ‘way as cornstarch. Sweet potatoes are not strictly tubers like Irish potatoes, but are tuberous roots. ‘They should be kept in a dry place if possible at a temper- ature of from 50 to 65 degrees F. Be cause their sweetness 1s to some ex- tent lost in water, they are better steamed than boiled, and baking is a favorite method of preparation. After steaming they may be sifted and used In puddings or ples like squash and added to breads, particularly corn- bread. Sweet potatoes aro sometimes canned and are often dried like fruits for family use. A flour is also made from the sweet potato, In southern homes the sliced sweet Potato (often first parbolled) has al- ‘ways been cooked with sugar, butter, and other seasoning. Such dishes, un- der a variety of names, are now gen- eral favorites. When sweet potatoes are baked the process should not be too rapid, but should continue for an hour or until the skin separates from the pulp, and fm the case of the varieties moist when cooked, until the sirup con- denses, and the pulp grows moist. The negroes in the southern states bake them in the ashes in the fireplace; 4ind as soon as one meal is over put in those needed for the next. ‘A New Vegetable—the Dasheen.

Starch cookery is a very important subject. That starch may be thor- oughly cooked it is essential that ev- ery starch grain be brought Into con- tact with water of at least 140 to 178 degrees F. In the case of starches separated from the plant cells when they were formed (arrow root, corn starch, ete) cooking is a simple matter, and long continued cooking is seldom needed to make them palatable and {n good con- dition for digestion. ‘The selection of potato starch in- stead of corn or wheat starch for thick- ening sauces in accordance with the custom of French cooks is rational, since ft does not require so long boll- ing to insure the best results. Tn the case of starch still enclosed in plant cells—as is the case with the starch present in cereal breakfast foods, etce.—long cooking ts desirable in order that water may penetrate to each individual starch grain and unite with {t to form the well cooked mate- Hal which {8 considered most whole- some. Starches from different plants or plant parts differ in the form of the starch grain, so that starches of va- rious kinds can be identified by the ald of the microscope. But from the culinary standpoint they are practical- ly Interchangeable, and one form of starch may be substituted for another in nearly all cases. Just as we may substitute the yam or a dish of rice for the potato as a vegetab’ so we may use starch from the potato, or corn, or wheat, or rice for thickening Bravies or making puddings, making slight changes tn proportion, according to the expansive powers of each kind. Suggestions Regarding Succulent Roots. Beets contain a larger percentage of sugar than most vegetables, and should be baked or steamed to retain as much of this as possible. At all events, they should be cooked in the skins, and the tIp of the root and a portion of the leat stems should also be left on until after cooking. Even 80, some color and sweetness are lost in the water in which they are cooked. Radishes, red or white, when a little too large to eat raw, may be cooked like turnips and served with a white sauce, Raw carrots often are eaten by chil- dren, and are advocated by those who belleve in the use of raw foods, When grated, raw carrots may be used in soups without further cooking, or added to salads. The carrot contains so much sugar that {ts use for sugar making in the same way as the beet, has been seriously considered. ‘The parsnip is said to have been cultivated even before the Christian era. The woody fiber of these roots is softened by freezing without injury to other portions. Hence they are left in the ground until the frost comes or even through the winter. But the roots must be used before they begin to grow again or they lose thelr sweet- ness and get “rusty.” The larger ones are likely to be less sweet and more woody. Small parsnips just from the ground in the spring will cook in less than a half hour. If steamed tn their skins, they lose less sweetness than by boiling. They should be peeled att- er cooking, and served plain or with white sauce, or sauteed in butter or mashed and made into fritters. They may be made into a stew with pota- toes, onions, and milk. The vegetables sometimes known as the “oyster plant” is the “salsify,” which {s most available for use during the late fall and winter. The root turns dark quickly if the skin fs removed be- fore cooking, and after paring should be dropped at once into vinegar and water to prevent discoloration. Aft- er boiling for about thirty minutes, the ealsify may be served with butter or white sauce, or mashed and made into Boom in Alarm Clocks. Merchants here report a rising mar. ket for alarm clocks. The board of education {s to blame, and children of school age are in the lead as pur. chasers, Last year school used to open at 9:15 {n the morning.

Now the time has been fixed at 8:45, and there is chapel only one day a week.—Freeport (R. 1.) Dispatch to New York Press, Their Great Scheme. A local couple, recently married, hit upon a scheme for saving what they figured was, just about right. Each month they would save a certain sum each day. The first day one cent, the second day two cents, third four cents, Each day the amount was to be doubled until the end of 30 days, By that time ‘they would have a tidy sum laid away.

All along the river side piers are built out over the green bank, connecting with float- ing landing stages where cargo {s landed from all kinds of small cratt, river steamers, sailing vessels, Hght- ers, and cayucas, to be transferred to the railroad for conveyance to the cus- tomhouse or carried to nearby ware- houses. ‘The three streets running parallel to the Malecon are just as full of busi- ness as the water front, and here we find the largest banks, many commer- cial houses, and large stores. ‘These thoroughfares for a great part of their Jongth are of even greater width than the other streets In the elty, compar- ing very favorably in this respect with streets in the finest cities of Europe and the United States.

G. Chapman) "If I only had a gun!" sighed old Rufus Thwaite drearly. "What would you do with it if you had, grandfather?" inquired little Ned Rogers. Ned was a neighbor's boy and no relation whatever to his aged companion. Everybody in the neighborhood called Mr. Thwaite grandfather, however. They were in fact more friendly and indulgent than those who had a right to do so. "I'd go to war," replied the old man with vehemence. "I was a soldier once in Wales. I belonged to the English army. Look here," and the rheumatic patriot sprang to his feet with unaccustomed agility, picked up a long stick and went through dimly remembered tactics of the past. It would have been ludicrous had it not been sad. For ten years his married granddaughter and her husband and their family had simply tolerated their aged relative as a helpless, wiltless old man. They felt bitter towards him because he had lost several thousand dollars in securities, which constituted his sole resources, and which they expected to inherit. One day in the long ago Mr. Twwaite had gone to the city to see the sights. He was missing for three days and then the Allertons received word that he was in a hospital, having been run down by a street car. They had brought him home to find that he had suffered a broken arm and almost a total lapse of memory. They W. H. H. Polishing Up the Rusted Old Musket. could not find his precious securities. He had not even a list of what they were. They decided that he must have taken them, to the city with him and lost them. He could not remember. Then they began to neglect him. They put him in a small dark bedroom over the kitchen, made him take his meals there, and, lonely and cold though he might be, never invited him into the better part of the house. For about a month the old man had become greatly interested in the war. Every afternoon after school Ned Rogers brought the morning newspaper from home, and he and the old man would go up to the wretched room and he would read to him for an hour, all war news. "See here, Ned," spoke Mr. Thwaite just now, "I feel it my duty to go back to my old home and offer my services to the army." "Why, Mr. Thwaite," exclaimed Ned, "you're too old! Besides, that stuff arm of yours. And how would you ever get there?" "I'd try it, anyhow," replied Mr. Thwaite, a dreamy expression in his eyes. "I'm pretty miserable here, Ned. The folks don't care for me. Now there was my other daughter, Nora. She's Mrs. Milton and lives fifty miles from here. She invited me to live with them, but I knew they were too poor. Besides, Esther here got lots of money from me when I had it. All I have now is a little mortgage. When I collect the interest, twenty dollars every six months, they take most of it away from me. I've got a dollar of the last payment left. Say," exclaimed the speaker with sudden animation, "I've thought of a great scheme." "What is that, grandfather?" quired Ned curiously. "Well, up in the old attic—it backs on the kitchen roof—is my old gun and knapsack. I asked them once to let me have them, but they only laughed at me and wouldn't even let me go up to the attic to get them myself. Say, you could." "Oh, I would not dare!" declared Ned. "Why not?" It isn't get stealing. They're mine. You can get up on the kitchen roof when they aren't watching. There's no sash to that attic window. You can't miss the gun and knapsack. I'll give you the dollar to do it." It took some persuasion to induce Ned to follow the suggestion of the old man. The bright silver dollar was a powerful argument, however. Two nights later Mr. Thwaite had his coveted accountments and Ned had the dollar in his pocket. The old man spent one entire night polishing up the rusted old musket. He begged powder and caps from a neighbor. The old knapsack was nearly falling to pieces. He tied it up stoutly. "I'll fix that when I get to Nora's." he decided. "I'm going to stop there to bid her good-by." The following day he stole away from the house and the village and headed for the settlement where the Milton lived. It was a long, hard tramp for the old gun. Sturdy, however, he pursued his way, the knap-strapped across his bent shoulder, the heavy musket carried proudly. He had no money, but kind-hearted housewives gave him what he wanted to eat. Twice he slept in a haystack. He was looked upon with pity as a homeless wanderer. He was pretty glad when one morning from inquiries he found that it was only three miles to the little farm where the Milton lived. Half the distance accomplished, he was so tired out that he climbed a fence and lay down in a straw heap to rest. He was soon asleep. One hour later a young man driving a horse attached to an old farm wagon went slowly past the spot. He had some difficulty in quieting down the startled horse. Then he looked towards the spot where a puff of smoke had shown. An old man was picking himself up from the ground. It was Mr. Thwaite. He had gone to sleep. His dream had been full of war and warriors. Awakening confused, he had taken a scarecrow near by for "the enemy," had fired, the gun had kicked and over he went. It did not take Mr. Milton long to discover the identity of the old man. He welcomed him to their humble home. Its comfort soon put all warlike ideas out of the head of the delighted old veteran. Nora wrote to her sister about his arrival. Esther wrote back: "Keep him and welcome—good riddance to bad rubbish!" The old arm, musket was placed across the antlers of a deer in the dining room. The old knapsack Mr. Thwaite unpacked one day, preparatory to burning the rubbish. Nora had not worried her grandfather by telling him of a mortgage on the little home. She was thinking of this sadly when the old man came rushing excitedly into her presence. "I've found them!" he shouted hilariously. "Found what?" inquired the startled Nora. "The lost securities—in my knapsack. They must have been there all these years and I never remembered it. This time you shall have them, dear little girl! Just give me a home for the few years of life left to me and take the securities for your pay." "We need no pay for dutiful caring for you and loving you, dear grandpa," replied Nora, but the old man was set in his notorious and the heavy burden of debt was soon thereafter lifted from the happy household. PRINCE PAGED FOR A COP And Troubetzkoy Responds, and the End Is That a Fine of Two Dollars Is Imposed. It sounded like a subway guard calling Fourteenth street or Bowling Green—you can't tell the difference—as a bellhop stalked majestically through the Hotel Plaza paging Prince Paul Troubetzkoy, says the New York Press. The name Troubetzkoy bothered the diminutive page, but he managed to articulate the "prince" all right. It so happened that Prince Troubetzkoy, who is a sculptor with a studio in 24 West Fifty-ninth street, was the only prince in the Plaza at the time, and, giving himself the benefit of the doubt, he responded to the call. "There's a gentleman outside wants to see you," the boy told him. Accompanied by the princess, he went downstairs where at the door he saw Patrolman Cunningham of the East Fifty-ninth street station. Cunningham asked the prince if he was Prince Troubetzkoy, and the prince admitted that he was. He was promptly served with a summons to appear in court for violating an ordinance by leaving his automobile unattended in front of the hotel. The prince expressed regret. The aldermen had not notified him they had passed such an ordinance. He was too busy to appear when his case came up in the Yorkville police court the other day, and sent Guy S. Switzer, superintendent of an automobile company, to represent him. A plea of guilt was entered, and Switzer paid a two-dollar fine. Teaching Brains. Teachers are with us from the time of our birth until the commencement day, and are our best friends; yet they are the least paid of all human benefactors save the mothers of men. A few university presidents get good salaries, but the high priest or priestess of the red schoolhouse—shame to our American civilization—is the least paid for the brain used in any of our higher callings. If you have wonderful patience, love of children and young life; a passionate desire for self-ministry; if you have a taste strong for literature, culture and giving information, you may enter the teaching profession, cash your brains for human uplift and public welfare—some day you will be better paid. The Artist. The whole function of the artist in the world is to be a seeing and a feeling creature; to be an instrument of such tenderness and sensitiveness that no shadow, no hue, no line, no instantaneous and evanescent expression of the visible things around him, nor any of the emotions which they are capable of conveying to the spirit which has been given him, shall either be left unrecorded or fade from the book of record—Ruskin.

HARD LUC for MONTE CARLO The war in Europe has furnished entertainment and employment both for the great mass of people who formerly went to the principality of Monaco and played at the casino. Now Monaco has gone to war itself and the citizens of Monte Carlo are marching under the tricolor of France in the war against the Germans. There was nothing else for the Monte Carlo loans to do. Prosperity in Monte Carlo depends on crowds, and foreign crowds at that. When the crowds stay away Monte Carlo is in bad straits. She has no money for public improvements. She has no money to pay the salary of the chief ruler, the prince. She has no work for the people. Monte Carlo is better known than the country in which it is situated. The country is Monaco on the Bay of Monaco. Take a map of Europe and run your fingers along the Mediterranean coast until you come to the boundary of Italy and France. Glance to the westward a short distance and you will find Monaco bay. It is an insignificant bay. When you talk about countries in America you think in terms of big nations like the United States or Brazil. In Europe there are several insignificant independent republics and principalities. Monaco is one of these and Monte Carlo is within Monaco. The casino is in Monte Carlo. In 1858 Monaco was on the verge of ruin. The people were so poor that the principality was on the verge of surrendering its independence to France. Then Prince Charles thought of the scheme of running a great gambling house—a casino.

They were preparing for the usual winter rush, when bang! all Europe was at war. No one came to the casino to gamble. There was no revenue to pay the king or to support the police. When no one came to gamble, no one came to live at the fashionable hotels. When no one came to live at the hotels the importers who brought in food for the guests lost their jobs, the waiters and cooks lost their jobs, the cashiers lost their jobs. With none of the wealthy ones in town there could be no grand opera or theater. The ushers lost their jobs and more waiters and cooks lost their jobs. The guides lost their jobs and even the undertakers who made it a business to bring in the suicides from the bay lost their jobs. There always was considerable salvage in suicides. Wealthy men often entered the casino and played. Then they played some more. Eventually they lost because the game is set against the player. When they lost they played harder in an attempt to win back their losings. They lost more. Finally they went out of the casino—broke! There are high rocks all around Monaco bay.

Now that Monaco, the smallest principality in the world, has declared war on Germany, San Marino is shaking its fist at the kaiser. San Marino is a dot of 38 square miles in eastern Italy. Its quarrel with Germany is the result of the kaiser's protest that the San Marino wireless station was intercepting his messages. San Marino, literally, is a mountain and three little villages.

Its total population is 11,000, Jefferson City or Moberly would make a more populous nation. It has no railroad, the visitor having to ride four hours in a diligence from Rimini, an Adriatic resort city. The founding of San Marino is somewhat of a myth. The local tradition is that Marinus, a Dalmatian stonecutter, fathered the nation in the fourth century. He was working on a gateway at Rimini. The nearest rock quarry was Mount Titanus. As a reward for faithful work Marinus was given the mountain, where he established a refuge for Christians. Since that time San Marino has maintained its independence. In the seventh or eighth century its monastery was turned into a fort. Many invaders marched by without attacking the republic. For one reason, it was difficult to attack, and for another, it had no wealth to attract the conqueror. Once a pope attempted to collect taxes in the state, San Marino appealed to a judge in Rimini, who held that it was an independent nation and therefore no taxes could be collected. Italy has never tried to incorporate the republic in its realm. True, today, Italy maintains the San Marinan gendarmerie and medical staff, but the republic turns in enough revenue to the kingdom's treasury to recompense it. San Marino is proud of its claim as the oldest republic. All around its 33 miles of frontier one can see monuments marked "Italy" on one side and "The Republic of San Marino" on the other. But while it claims to be a republic, it is an oligarchy in fact. The government is a grand council of 60 elected for life in equal numbers from the landed proprietors and the bourgeois. The council elects its own members when vacancies occur. An inner council of 12 chosen from the 60 forms a kind of a senate. It has two presidents or captains regent, as they call them. They are elected every six months at a grand public gathering. The main reason for the frequency of those elections is that they are the principal amusement the citizens have. There is only one level spot in San Marino. That is a plaza in front of the national palace. It is used as a parade ground for San Marino's citizen army of 950 men and 38 officers. San Marino's army is not a professional one. Its soldiers all make their living at some other occupation. Thus the commanding officer of the army is also librarian of the national library and a professor in Belluzi college. There is only one level spot in San Marino.

Since San Marino's streets all run at some precipitous angle drainage and sewerage is no worry. Nature handles that.

Both Monaco and San Marino are part of the group of Italian republics and principalities which maintained their independence until the middle of last century. The other little nations were united as Italy, but Monaco and San Marino kept their independence. The little republics and principalities of northern Italy were noted for their thrift and industry.

J. C. L. de Sismondi says in "The Italian Republics": "The naviglio grande' of Milan, which spreads the clear waters of the Ticino over the finest parts of Lombardy, was begun in 1179, resumed in 1257, and terminated a few years after ards. Men who meditated, and who applied to the arts the fruits of their study," practiced, he says, that skilful agriculture of Lombardy and Tuscany which "became a model to other nations." He says that the cities, "surrounded with thick walls, terraced and guarded by towers, were for the most part paved with broad flagstones; while the inhabitants of Paris could not stir out of their houses without plunging into the mud. Stone bridges of an elegant and bold architecture were thrown over rivers; aqueducts carried pure water to the fountains. The palace of the pedestas and signorie united strength with majesty. The most admirable of those of Florence, the Palazzo-Vecchio, was built in 1298. The Loggia in the same city, the church of Santa Croce, that of Santa Maria del Flore, with its dome, so admired by Michael Angelo, were begun by the architect Arnolo, scholar of Nicolas di Pisa, between the years 1284 and 1300. "The prodigies of the first born of the fine arts multiplied in Italy; a pure taste, boldness and grandeur, struck the eye in all public monuments, and finally reached even private dwellings; while the princes of France, England and Germany, in building their castles, seemed to think only of shelter and defense. Sculpture in mind and bronze soon followed the progress of architecture; in 1300, Andrea di Pisa, son of the architect Nicolas, cast the admirable bronze gates of the Baptistery at Florence; about the same time, Climbae and Giotte revived the art of painting, Casella music, and Dante gave to his his 'Divina Commedia', unequaled in succeeding generations. History was written honestly, with scrupulous research, and with graceful simplicity, by Giovanni Villani, and his school; the study of morals and philosophy began; and Italy, ennobled by freedom, enlightened nations, till then sunk in darkness. "The Republic of Pisa was one of the first to make known to the world the riches and the power which a small state might acquire by the aid of commerce and liberty. Pisa had astonished the shores of the Mediterranean by the number of vessels and galleries that sailed under her flag, by the succor she had given the cruaders; by the fear she had inspired at Constantinople, and by the conquest of Sardinia and the Balearic isles. Pisa was the first to introduce into Tuscany the arts that ennoble wealth; her dome, her baptistery, her leaning tower, and her Campo Santo, which the traveler's eye embraces at one glance, but does not weary of beholding, had been successively built from the year 1063 to the end of the twelfth century. These chefs d'oeuvre had animated the genius of the Pisans; the great architects of the thirteenth century were, for the most part, pupils of Nicholas di Pisa."

"The naviglio grande' of Milan, which spreads the clear waters of the Ticino over the finest parts of Lombardy, was begun in 1179, resumed in 1257, and terminated a few years after ards. Men who meditated, and who applied to the arts the fruits of their study," practiced, he says, that skilful agriculture of Lombardy and Tuscany which "became a model to other nations." He says that the cities, "surrounded with thick walls, terraced and guarded by towers, were for the most part paved with broad flagstones; while the inhabitants of Paris could not stir out of their houses without plunging into the mud. Stone bridges of an elegant and bold architecture were thrown over rivers; aqueducts carried pure water to the fountains. The palace of the pedestas and signorie united strength with majesty. The most admirable of those of Florence, the Palazzo Vecchio, was built in 1298. The Loggia in the same city, the church of Santa Crocia, that of Santa Maria del Flore, with its dome, so admired by Michael Angelo, were begun by the architect Arnolo, scholar of Nicolas di Pisa, between the years 1284 and 1300. "The prodigies of the first born of the fine arts multiplied in Italy; a pure taste, boldness and grandeur, struck the eye in all public monuments, and finally reached even private dwellings; while the princes of France, England and Germany, in building their castles, seemed to think only of shelter and defense. Sculpture in marble and bronze soon followed the progress of architecture; in 1300, Andrea di Pisa, son of the architect Nicolas, cast the admirable bronze gates of the Baptistery at Florence; about the same time, Climbaue and Giotte revived the art of painting. Casella music, and Dante gave to Italy his "Divina Commedia," unequaled in succeeding generations. History was written honestly, with scrupulous research, and with graceful simplicity, by Glovanni Villani, and his school; the study of morals and philosophy began; and Italy, ennobled by freedom, enlightened nations, till then sunk in darkness. "The Republic of Pisa was one of the first to make known to the world the riches and the power which a small state might acquire by the aid of commerce and liberty. Pisa had astonished the shores of the Mediterranean by the number of vessels and galleys that sailed under her flag, by the succor she had given the crusaders; by the fear she had inspired at Constantinople, and by the conquest of Sardinia and the Balearic islands. Pisa was the first to introduce into Tuscany the arts that ennoble wealth; her dome, her baptistery, her leaning tower, and her Campo Santo, which the traveler's eye embraces at one glance, but does not weary of beholding, had been successively built from the year 1063 to the end of the twelfth century. These chefs'd-oeuvre had animated the genius of the Pisans; the great architects of the thirteenth century were, for the most part, pupils of Nicholas di Pisa." Professor Friedenthal of Berlin has discovered a way to convert straw into food. make the venture profitable by having the consul sell lottery tickets. When they learned that lotteries were not allowed in the United States the idea was abandoned. San Marino has some salt mines which it uses to pay the captains regent a salary. The regents have the salt monopoly during their term of office. Two names are revered in the history of the republic. One is Napoleon, who sent an ambassador to San Marino and guaranteed them independence. Another is Garibaldi, who took refuge after the of water in a room so that it will not become too dry. While heat is necessary to evaporate water, the process of evaporation produces cold, and the quicker the evaporation the sharper the cold feeling produced. The body is continually evaporating water through the pores of the skin. This is one of nature's ways of taking impurities and waste out of the body. If the air in a room becomes too dry the evaporation on the outside of the body proceeds faster and makes you cold. HOME TOWN HELPS MODEL FOR RURAL SCHOOLS Building at Clarksville, Mo., Might Be Copied to Advantage by Country Communities. The McDannold rural school, loca- cated two and a half miles from Clarksville, Pike county, Missouri, is considered the prettiest country schoolhouse in that state. It was made possible by the public spirit of E. C. Dameron, a wealthy landowner of the county, who desired his children to attend a country school, but did not consider the old wooden building good enough for them or the other youngsters of the district. Mr. Dameron furnished the McDannold School. plans and the brick, the county furnished the rest of the material and the labor. The interior of the building is thoroughly modern and is quite in keeping with the outside appearance. The vines, shrubbery and ornamental trees were furnished by Mr. Dameron, and his landscape gardener keeps them in trim. Dean W. W. Charters of the school of education of the University of Missouri is using this school as an example in his campaign for the beautification of rural schools and their surroundings.-Exchange. WORK FOR COMING SUMMER Alabama City Has Plans for Beautification That Are Deserving of Imitation. "We are in receipt of a letter from United States Senator Frank E. White," said Prof. E. E. Smith, chairman of the executive committee of the Birmingham (Ala.) Home and School Garden association, "in which he offers to send the usual vegetable and flower seed to persons desiring them. "The senator wrote as follows: 'As you are aware, members of congress are furnished with vegetable and flower seed and farm bulletins on home gardening, for distribution among their constituents. If anyone desires vegetable and flower seeds, or the bulletins on home gardening, and will drop me a postal, I shall gladly send them what they desire.'" "Our association wishes to encourage children particularly to write a postal to Senator White. We have now or will have in two weeks an approximate enrollment in this association of 10,000 children, and through them we hope to work wonders in the city beautiful work of the coming summer. "This association is working under the auspices and supervision of the city government and we intend to create as much enthusiasm and love of flowers among children as we possibly can." The idea might well be copied in the several states. Ideal Civic Center. A civic center should have a central location, and all buildings should harmonize and group with each other so as to form a compact unit system. It should contain the municipal and federal buildings, such as the city hall, courthouse, hall of records, federal court building and various city departmental buildings. Its central location should make it readily accessible from all parts of the city and surrounding suburban districts. Several main arteries of traffic should radiate from the civic center, making it the center of the city's street plan, the keystone in the arch of its design. Few Live to Be 100 Years Old. According to census reports, persons who live to be a one hundred years or more are a good deal like the snakes of Ireland—very scarce. The United States, with a population of more than ninety millions, is given credit for only 46. Germany's population is 60,000,000, and its quota of centenarians is 70. Great Britain, with a population of 46,000,000, has 94. France, with 40,000,000, claims 164. Bulgaria, with 4,000,000 inhabitants, boasts of 3,300, and Roumania, with 6,000,000 people, has 3,320 centenarians. The last named little countries eat little meat and drink a great deal of sour milk, and to this fact some attribute their much greater longevity. Onion's Good Properties From the best authorities we learn that colds are caused by three things—a chill, a germ and a uric acid tendency which provides a soil for the germ's growth. The pungent oil of the onion neutralizes and destroys the germs that infest the mouths of us all, even of those in good health. Making It Personal.

Guard Your Children Against Bowel Trouble Many children at an early age become constipated, and frequently serious consequences result. Not being able to realize his own condition, a child's bowels should be constantly watched, and a gentle laxative given when necessary. Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets are especially well adapted for women and children. The Sisters Christian Charity, 531 Charles St., Luzerne, Pa., who attend many cases of sickness say of them: "Some time ago we began using Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets and find that we like them very much. Their action is excellent and we are grateful for being made acquainted with them and that had good results in every case and the Sisters are very much pleased." The form and flavor of any medicine is very important, no matter who is to take it. The taste and appearance are especially important when children are concerned. All parents know how hard it is to give the average child "medicine," even though the taste is partially disguised. In using Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets, however, this difficulty is overcome. The shape of the tablets, their appearance and candy-like taste at once appeal to any child, with the result that they are taken without objection. The rich chocolate flavor and absence of other taste, make Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets the ideal remedy for children. If the first box fails to benefit, the price is returned. Ask your druggist. A box of 25 doses costs only 25 cents. Never sold in bulk. MILES MEDICAL CO. Elkhard Ind --- Political Announcements. MAYOR HEADQUARTERS 909 NORTH 6TH STREET LOU H.

Some comment has been made that the Sun with its 5,000 readers, publishes the clubs' notes at a rate of $2 for the season of ten months, which is an average of 4 cents a week, while the Club Bulletin, they allege, charges $1 per month for each club.
