"A bold attempt to disfranchise Negro voters in the North as well as in the South is the latest scheme of the Wilson campaign managers. It is a plain game of intimidation, and it shows the lengths to which the Democratic managers are willing to go in this campaign. The confidence they have displayed in planning and executing some of their schemes—without interference from Democratic district attorneys—is paralleled only by the confidence with which city crooks go about their business under the sure protection of corrupt police. The above statement was issued by William R. Wilcox, chairman of the Republican National Committee. The statement continues as follows: Legations of activity by the Department of Justice and the appointment of special attorneys general to investigate and prosecute colonizers. "The Democrats know that there are no such colonies. They know that the movement of Negroes from some of the southern states, on which they relied to give some color of credibility to their reckless charge, was a genuine effort to secure more labor for Northern concerns. They know that it was fostered and encouraged by the Democratic Bureau of Employment in the Department of Labor, before the Democratic managers saw a political opportunity in it. DEMOCRATS CIRCULATE FALSE NEGROES UNANIMOUS AGAINST WILSON. "The Negro voters of the United States are practically unanimous in their opposition to President Wilson. The Democratic campaign managers Mauns Mauns Dick Walter S. Dickey WALTER S. DICKEY, Republican Nominie for U. S. Senator are well aware of that fact. The course of injustice and segregation to which the Negroes have been subjected ever since the Wilson administration came into power has been such as to alienate every colored voter that ever was friendly to Wilson. "Knowing that this vote is wholly against them, the Democratic managers have set out deliberately to prevent it from being cast or counted. This is the real explanation of the sensational charges of Negro colonization that the Democratic managers have been so industriously scattering around the country for the last two or three weeks.

The Democrats have long been expert in the disfranchisement of Negroes in the South. But they also know that the North is not a shotgun country. They knew they must devise some method that does not rely upon the shotgun tactics for execution. PLAN TO CHALLENGE NEGRO VOTERS.

NEGRO REPUBLICAN LEADERS EXPECT TO CARRY STATE FOR HUGHES, LAMM AND DICKEY, STATE CHAIRMAN C. G. WILLIAMS SEES VICTORY IN MISSOURI. "Charles G. Williams, of Boonville, Mo., chairman of the Auxiliary Republican State Committee, does not fear Democratic intimidation of Negro voters in Missouri. When seen at the headquarters of the committee, in the International Life Building, in St. Louis, although overwhelmed by the activities of the strenuous campaign, he took time to express his opinion on the political situation in Missouri, formed from the reports received from an army of trained workers, scattered over all parts of the state. Mr. Williams said in part: "Reports from all over Missouri indicate that the present campaign has been the most stubborn political battle in the history of the state. But we have had the aid and co-operation of the ablest and most experienced Negro orators and political workers in the state, who have worked conscientiously and efficiently for the Republican cause, and the results have been highly satisfactory. "The Negro voters have been reached and thoroughly aroused and organized and several thousand more Negro voters will be brought to the polls to cast their ballots for the candidates of the Republican party than have ever before voted at an election in Missouri. "Our campaign speakers and organizers have been greeted everywhere with greater and more enthusiastic crowds than in any former campaign. Every nook and corner of the state has been reached and the Negro voters everywhere are eager to cast a vote to register a protest against the actions of the Wilson administration, and while I do not predict a landslide, I feel perfectly safe in forecasting the election of the entire Republican ticket in Missouri." DABNEY PREDICTS ELECTION OF CORRECTOR OF STUDY AND BOOKKEEP HUGHES, LAMBY and DICKET. Fred W. Dabney, head of the organization department of the Auxiliary State Republican Committee said: "I look for a larger and more enthusiastic support of the Republican candidates by the Negro voters in Missouri next Tuesday, because of the attitude of the national administration and the open hostility of Senator Reed, of Missouri, who allied himself with such Negro-haters as Senators Tillman and Vardaman, in opposing the rights of the Negro race in the 63rd Congress. "The little handful of Negroes, who for selfish reasons, are advocating a division of the Negro vote, are not meeting with any success at the hands of the rank and file of our people. There is no question of political expediency in a division of our vote as long as the Democratic party of the nation is dominated by the Democrats of the South. "The events of the last four years have served to convince the Negroes of this and as a result, not only in the state of Missouri, but throughout the nation. Negroes who gave their vote for Wilson four years ago, are now working like Trojans for the election of Hughes, and I believe I am justified in predicting that Missouri will send Walter S. Dickey to the United States Senate and will elect Judge Henry Lamm to the governorship of Missouri by the largest majority ever given any candidate on a state ticket in recent years." * CHARLES E.

Words of Warning To Negro Voters Negro is on Trial Take No Chances Vote Right, Vote Straight, Don't Scratch—Vote the Straight Republican Ticket —Vote for Hughes, Lamm and Dickey—Vote Against Wilson and Disfranchisement. "Lest we forget, remember yet": The Negroes of the country should rise as one man to cast their votes in protest against the abuse of power that placed the government into the hands of those who sought fifty years ago to assassinate it and continue the damnable institution of slavery. "Lest we forget, remember yet": Go boldly to the polls next Tuesday, and cast your ballot and insist on having it counted and fear no man who tries to intimidate you in the exercise of your manhood rights. "Lest we forget, remember yet": The Democratic party seeks to disfranchise you at this election, by intimidating you at the polls. Be fearless in the discharge of the highest duty of an American citizen. Stand up for your rights. No citizen of the United States can afford to be a coward. Don't be too proud to fight for your rights. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. The services all day last Sunday were well attended. The pastor, Dr. Bacote, preached a grand sermon to an appreciative congregation in the morning services. The ankle excursion which was conducted by the B. Y. P. U.'s last Monday evening was quite a success. In the evening services Rev. Sandford of California preached a fine sermon, after which BrotherH. P. Ewing made a good talk in the interest of Negro business enterprises. There were six additions to the church. Montrose Hull, 2811 Monroe, returned home from New York recently, but continues very ill and would be pleased to see his many friends.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Directed Especially to Negro Voters: burning on the altar service. Accordingly Directed Especially to Negro Voters: Among the utterances of our sainted and immortal Frederick Douglass is this one: "The Republican party is the ship and all else is the sea." The conduct of the affairs of this Nation from time to time of that utterance until this good hour has proven over and over again the wisdom of that statement, and especially has it been true with reference to the American Negro. It might be added with equal WILLIAM HARRISON. Attorney-at-Law, Oklahoma City, Okla., who sees salvation for the Negro only in the victory of the G. O. P. truthfulness that the conduct of our National and local affairs both by the Republican and Democratic parties has proven the wisdom of that utterance as applied to the citizenship of this entire Nation. It is clearly the cosmic scheme that men are Jehovah's chosen instruments to carry out the plan or redemption and to keep the light of eternal truth Do You Know That Advertising is the Life of Trade and the Only Real Business Getter Dickey burning on the altars of sacrifice and service. Accordingly the Jew was chosen to keep the lights burning on the sacred altars until the Greater Light—Jesus Christ Himself—should appear and dispel all doubt, and although the Jew—the chosen Jew—at times wandered and became heedless of some parts of the covenant and The Law, he was still the chosen vessel and did keep the lights burning on the altars of service and sacrifice until the advent of That Greater Light. Taking all things into consideration from the very Genesis of the Great Political Parties of this Nation until this good hour it clearly appears that the Republican Party has been entrusted by a Divine Providence with the lives, liberties, immunities, privileges, properties, prosperity and happiness of the people of this Nation; all of the people of this Nation. And although the Party has at times forgotten some parts of the Law as it pertains to all of the people, it still is the custodian of the people's rights, liberties, etc., and is now—like repentant Israel—coming back to the landmarks of progress, prosperity, liberties, immunities, privileges, and all constitutional rights of all of the citizens of this great commonwealth, the One Party of the whole Federal Constitutions and all the Amendments thereto. "Beware of The Greeks, even though they come bearing gifts," and "trust not in a wooden horse." were statements uttered just prior to the siege of Ancient Troy, and the student of history knows that if those admonitions had been heeded Eaneas would not have had to bear Father Anchises on his shoulders from the burning and Falling Walls of Troy.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Doctor Woodson, in his book, "The Education of the Negro Prior to 1801," tantalizes with constant references to people and events of which the reader would like to be more fully informed. Rev. Josiah Henson, for example, is mentioned only twice, and then in a most casual way; as an exemplar of the "ante-bellum" thinking Negro he deserves a liberal allowance of space. Although he lived until 1881, "Father" Henson, as he was called, was born in the eighteenth century, probably June 15, 1875. This pure-blooded Negro, native of Maryland, was brought up in slavery and supplied a model for Mrs. Stowe's Uncle Tom. As a young man he preached to his fellow slaves, and once took his master's "people" over to Kentucky, to prevent their being attached to the planter's creditors. He had a master named St. Clare, whose young daughter probably called the "little" Eva of the story. Henson had paid $50 toward the price of his freedom, but was taken to New Orleans to be sold by his master's son. The white man being stricken with fever, the black man nursed him and took him back home. Finally Josiah escaped; he and his wife and children made their way cross-country through swamps and all to Cincinnati, and at last got to Canada. "Father" Henson was prominent in a colored community there. In 1842 or so he learned to read and write. He met Mrs. Stowe and told his story to her. In 1858 he published his autobiography, with an introduction by Mrs. Stowe. In 1850, 1852 and 1876 he went to England, lecturing and preaching, and, as the books of reference note with pious care, he was entertained at Windsor castle by Queen Victoria. Henson may be read with more entertainment and not a bit less profit than Woodson. Of the colonization movement the author writes more freely and more connectedly than of other parts of the history. The idea of segregation or colonization was of early origin and found footing both North and South. In 1779 Jefferson was a member of a committee appointed by the state legislature that reported a plan providing for the instruction of slaves in agriculture and the handicrafts to prepare them for liberation and "colonization under the supervision of the home government until they could take care of themselves." Most Southerners conditioned their theoretical concession of the Negro's right to education with the practical assertion that when educated he should be separated from his fellows. Some who had scruples against compulsory expatriation to Africa favored colonization in "some part of the United States," which meant anything west of the Alleghanies—New York Sun. A few earnest Negro-music students have studied the man—so broad, genial and human—carefully and thoroughly. Some Negroes have real musical accomplishments. Harry T. Burleigh, a pupil of Dvorak, is baritone solist at St. George's church, New York city, sings in the choir of the Jewish temple, Forty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, and is musical editor at Ricordi's. Mr. Burleigh's songs are published by Ricordi Co. G. Schrimer, the leading publisher of America, and Presser of Philadelphia. Nathaniel Dett, a very young man, recently from Oberlin School of Music, and now director at Hampton, has in his developed "Listen to the Lambs," published by Schrimer, proved his right Better housing conditions and the establishment of an open-air school for Negro children will be two of the principal endeavors of the St. Louis Tuberculosis society this winter. This was decided at a meeting of the board of directors. A survey has been made showing the death rate of Negroes from consumption in St. Louis to be four to one white person in proportion to the population. Mrs. E. A. De Wolf, who originated open-air school work in St. Louis in 1909, is head of the committee for the establishment of the fresh-air institution. Dr. S. T. Lipsitz is the physician in charge. Boston's newest post office, the Back Bay postal station in Huntington avenue, opposite Symphony hall, is fast nearing completion. In architecture the new building is a replica of the Wall street branch of the New York post office. Tests have shown that the best sound deedening partitions for buildings are those made of two walls of tile with an air space between. Adelina Patti made her debut in Santiago de Cuba, and thence in the summer of 1859, she made her first appearance in New York, at Castle Garden, and created a furore in America. In a costly watch made for exhibition there is a wheel that makes a revolution but once in four years, operating a dial which shows the years, months and days.

Although Jed Hoover was the laziest man in town, he always had strength to hold a book or a magazine in his hand. It was only in emergencies that the neighbors called upon him for help. One hot day in July, when the clouds threatened rain, a farmer hurried to his shack and asked him to "rake after" the last load of hay. Jed hesitated a minute, and then his eye fell upon a pile of old magazines that were stacked in a corner of the sarging plaza. to be taken seriously by his musical public, Carl Diton, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, a student for two years in Germany, now teacher in Atlanta, Ga., is a thorough master of the science of music, Melville Charlton, both because of temperament and technique, is considered as ranking with the first organists of New York city. Last, but greater than all of these, I must name a comedian, not a musician, George W. Walker, the late lamented partner of Bert Williams. His has been the greatest influence in the development of modern Negro music. At twenty-eight he could not read a note and could hardly write his name, yet day and night he talked Negro music to his people, urged and compelled his writers to give something characteristic. Each year he wanted bigger and better things. He engaged the best Negro voices in the United States, and their success in ensemble singing was as great in London, Paris and Berlin as in New York, Boston and Chicago. Dvorak would have been proud to know such a man. In all reverence—Dvorak—George Walker. They had high ideals and they showed the way. Perhaps in the vast hereafter, these two men may meet the rough, uncouth, but genial Bohemian master; the uneducated but highly-polished, ebon-hued African, with the gleaming ivory mouth. Do you doubt that with one impulse their hands will join and the mastiff-like smile of the Bohemian will match the lazy grin of the American Zulu, as they both whisper the one word—"brother?"—New York Sun. Music brought forth from a large choir under modern chorister methods did not appeal to R. H. Boyd, an aged delegate of Nashville, Tenn., Sunday night at a mass meeting of Negroes attending the national Baptist convention at Kansas City. The song under protest was an old southern religious plantation melody. "That's not the way my mammy used to sing it down in the cotton fields of Mississippi," declared Boyd, interrupting the chorist. He then drilled the chorus and audience in the ancient song with a hearty accompaniment of amens from the older members of the audience. Convention hall, the largest auditorium in the city, was the scene of continued mass meetings Sunday for the various branches of the convention. A Sunday school meeting in the morning drew 2,000 delegates. The evening service was in charge of Dr. W. S. Ellington of Nashville, Teenn, and Dr. E. H. McDaniel of Chica.0 Fernald O. Everett of Auburn, Me., has discovered a gold mine on his farm in East Poland. He recently had samples from a ledge on the farm assayed by the state assayer at Orono, and yielded from $5 to $10 in gold to the ton of ore. The makeup of the ledge, a combination of feldspar, quartz and lava, makes it difficult to work. A Kansas City electrician claims have perfected electrochemical appratus for producing gasoline from kerosene and natural gas at a fraction of its present cost. Experiments on the Philippine island of Mindanao seem to indicate that the finest qualities of rubber can be produced there with profit. In the town of Belgrade, Me., live Mr. and Mrs. Warren P. Cummings. Mr. Cummings was eighty-eight February 24 this year, and Mrs. Cummings was eighty-six February 25. They settled on the farm where they now live when they were married, 68 years ago. Mr. Cummings still takes his goods to market two or three times a week. The considerable demand for antimony during the last year has stimulated the development of certain Alaska deposits of that metal, from which ore to the value of about $74,000 was mined and shipped during 1915, according to a report published by the United States geological survey. --- A government chemist in Hawaii has discovered a method for neutralizing the harmful action of manganese upon pineapples grown on land impregnated with that mineral.

During the first half of last year more than $22,000,000 worth of diamonds were produced in South Africa. "Well, now, I'd like to help out," was the reply, "but TU have to refuse ye this time.

"Because we're very patriotic at our house, and we have to stand up now when we play "The Star-Spangled Banner."" CHICKEN PIE WORTH WHILE Recipe That Has Been Long in Use and Can Be Recommended as Excellent. One chicken boned (reserve bones to make stock), one-quarter pound bacon, one-half pound sausage, one or two hard-bolled eggs. Cut the chicken into joints and place on bones with an onion, one or two peppercorns, a blade of mace, and a little lemon rind. Simmer for three or four hours. Pack chicken in layers in a pie-dish along with sausage, bacon, hard-bolled eggs and seasoning: half fill with the stock. Flaky pastry for covering: One-half pound flour, one-quarter pound butter, one-half teaspoonful baking powder, water, pinch of salt. Method: Mix flour and baking powder; add the butter cut in small pieces, and the salt. Make into a stiff paste with water. Form paste into a long piece; roll it out. Fold in three equal pieces. Turn the paste round and repeat rolling and folding two and one-half times. Roll out paste a little larger than the pie-dish. Cut a strip off and line rim of pie-dish. Cover top with large piece. Make a hole in top for ventilation. Use scraps of paste to make a rose and leaves for decoration. Brush over with beaten egg. Bake in hot even at first for half an hour. Then continue for one and one-half hours in a more moderate heat. ROUND STEAK AT ITS BEST Proper Method of Preparation Has Much to Do With the Appetizing Quality of Meat. Lay out in a hot iron frying-pan three thin slices of fat salt pork, three by four inches, and add one onion peeled and cut in thin slices. Cook, stirring constantly until broken. Wipe a 2½-pound slice of round steak, put in pan-pan, pour over 1½ cupfuls of cold water and add one-fourth teaspoonful of salt. Bring quickly to the boiling point, cover closely, remove to back of range and let simmer slowly until tender. Remove steak to hot platter and strain stock (there should be one cupful). Melt one tablespoonful of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until well blended; then pour on gradually, while stirring constantly, the hot stock. Bring to the boiling point, let boil two minutes, season with salt and pepper and pour over and around the steak. Garnish with baked stuffed tomatoes around the edge, and with overlapping slices of tomatoes and sprigs of parsley in the center. Beef Ramekins. Take one-half pound of cooked beef, two cupfuls of mashed potatoes, one teaspoonful of minced parsley, one teaspoonful of chopped gherkins, salt and pepper to taste, and gravy or sauce to molten. First mash some boiled potatoes finely so that they will be free of lumps, adding one teaspoonful of butter and sufficient hot milk to make them soft and creamy. Cut the meat into dice, freeing it from skin and gristle. Mix it with the parsley and gherkin and enough sauce or gravy to molten all well. Fill ramekins three parts full of the mixture. Cover the meat with potatoes, heaping it well in the center and marking it neatly with a silver fork. Bake for ten minutes in a hot oven or until heated through and well browned. Chicken a la Monte Carlo Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in an earthen dish or casserole with one carrot, three onions sliced, two bay leaves, salt, pepper and some thyme. Add a young, fat fowl, cut into joints and let it get brown. Then add one pint of consomme and cover air-tight. Cook three-quarters of an hour. It must simmer all the time. If the fowl is old, it will take longer to cook. Add two tablespoonfuls sherry, a dozen potato balls fried in butter, a dozen button mushrooms and some chopped parsley. Let it cook ten minutes more and serve in the sauce dish or the charm of it will be lost. Bubble Pudding. Put one pint of milk on to heat in a double boiler. Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch in two of cold milk and stir it into milk. Then add the yolks of two eggs well beaten and one tablespoonful of sugar. Whip rapidly for a moment. Remove from fire and pour into a buttered mold or bowl. Cover closely and boil one hour. Serve with lemon sauce. Canned Grapes Wash the bunches, pick off the firm grapes, and pack them into glass jars as firmly as possible without crushing. Then steam the jars as directed for canning peaches by the steaming method until the grapes are thoroughly heated; this as a rule usually takes from 20 to 30 minutes. Peanut Cream Dressing Two tablespoonfuls of peanut butter, one teaspoonful of mustard, one teaspoonful of sugar, salt and pepper. Mix well into this two tablespoonfuls of thick cream and one tablespoonful of chopped olives. Thin with vinegar and pour over either lettuce or chopped celery. Good Filling of Beans Press cold baked beans through a collander; add two tablespoonfuls of horseradish to each cupful of beans. Put between very thin slices of brown bread with butter and a little prepared mustard. Cut in fancy shapes.—Yorkers Magazine. Using Paraffin. If paraffin is used on top of jellies and jams, when it is removed from the jar, wash it, melt it and strain it through coarse cotton, such as a salt bag. It is then ready to use again. Laundry Bit To wash scorched goods, boll them in a mixture of one part soap and one teacupful turpentine in a gallon of milk. To Remove Iodine Stains Immerse the stained articles immediately in a gallon of water to which has been added about two teaspoonfuls of plain household ammonia.

There is a fringe of ermine tails across the back. They are tied at the front with a heavy silk cord, and the handsomest of bead tassels finish its long ends.

There is always something new to be found in bags. All one has to do to Symbolic Jewelry. It is said that symbolic jewelry will come in with the host of other oriental fashions which have invaded the world of dress and fashion this season. Orientals have very decided ideas about the relative meanings or significance of certain jewels alone or in combination. These symbols will be considered when the neckchains, brooches, etc., are made up for milady of fashion. Jade is well known as a protection against evil spirits and a charm to bring good health and pros- --- find a novelty is to look in the right quarter. Some of these sets are rather simple affairs which will serve for very practical use, and some of them are of rich materials in fanciful design, evidently intended to embellish an afternoon or evening toilette. An example of each is shown in the picture above. The bag of gray velours and black velvet matches exactly a small hat with tam crown of velours and brim of velvet. CROWN OF VICEROY WILD DIVISION OF VICEROY Any milliner and almost any clever amateur will be able to make a set like this. The bag is a circular piece of material with three triangles of velvet set on it, and the flowers are outlined with little beads and filled in with embroidery silk. Small rings are sewed at intervals about the edge, and the bag is closed by a heavy silk cord that runs through them. This cord also serves for carrying it. The second set is made of a rich striped silk with gold threads wrought in with the pattern and finished with odd ornaments of silk and gold. It is J so oriental looking that it has been called the East Indian, and the name fits perfectly. There is a turban (with a plain top) in which the striped silk is wrapped about the coronet, and two ornaments dangle from cords at the side. The bag in this set is joined to a girdle, both made of the striped silk lined with plain silk. perity to the wearer. Why the mandarin's chain always contains 108 beads is known to those officials of China, and they also know that every bead has its own significance. These chains will be copied, and also some of the Egyptian chains, which are said to possess quite as much symbolism.

The canning-club specialists of the States' Relations service for the northern and western states recommend that the following points be observed to make certain that jelly will be of good quality. After the fruit has been boiled and the texture broken down it should be poured into a jelly bag and permitted to drain for a considerable time. Forcing the juice from the pulp will cause cloudy jelly. When the juice has been collected, place two teaspoonfuls of cold unsweetened fruit juice in two teaspoonfuls of grain alcohol and mix by shaking gently. Allow it to settle for one-half hour, preferably in a glass tumbler. If a jellylike substance collects in the bottom of the mixture it is evidence that pectin is present and the juice is suitable for jelly making. When the test shows absence of pectin, the white portion of orange peel, apples or green citron melon may be added to the juice to supply the necessary pectin. Twelve ounces of sugar added to a pint of juice will make a jelly of the proper firmness and texture. Jelly is ready to be poured into the glasses when two rows of drops form on the end of a paddle or on the edge of a spoon held sidewise. HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Information Likely to Be of Value at Any Time, and Well Worth Keeping in Memory. To clean a white felt hat mix magnesia to a paste with cold water. Allow to stand for a few minutes, then apply evenly to the hat with a brush. When the paste is dry brush off the magnesia with a clean stiff brush. To separate egg yolks from the whites, break the eggs into a funnel over a cup. The whites pass through, the yolks remain. Toothache is surely cured by inserting in cavity absorbent cotton saturated with vaseline and dipped into burnt alum. To prevent children's clothing from taking fire, put an ounce of alum in the last rinsing water. This will render them incombustible. Choking infants are instantly relieved by pressing between eyes with your finger. Pie Hint.—When making one-crust plies try this method, instead of the indigestible water-soaked undercrust, Grease plate thoroughly, then sprinkle liberally with Indian meal. Shake off what will not adhere to the grease. This makes a nice crust which will hold the filling just as well as the regulation pie crust. Ice Cream Cake. Cream half a cupful of butter with one cupful of sugar with the hand for five minutes, beat in the yolk of one large egg. Mix one and a half cupfuls flour, one heaping teaspoonful baking powder, quarter teaspoonful salt. Sift all together three times. Now mix in, alternately, the flour and two-thirds cupful milk, one teaspoonful extract, last of all, whites of three large eggs. Bake in moderate oven about 40 minutes. Make fruit cake by adding half pound seedless raisins, quarter cupful flour, half pound citron. Icing for Cake—Yolks of two large eggs, beaten quite stiff with powdered sugar. Flavor. German Potato Salad. Six medium-sized potatoes, one-quarter pound fat bacon, one small onion, two teaspoonfuls salt, one-fourth teaspoonful black pepper, one-half cupful hot vinegar, one-half cupful hot water, two tablespoonfuls salad oil, Cut bacon into small dice and put into frying pan over a slow fire. Shred the onion into a large bowl, add salt, hot vinegar and hot water. When the fat is a light brown color and the dice well crisped, add salad oil and pour into vinegar and onion—turning slowly at first. Serve on crisp lettuce and garnish with pickled beets. Lamb Cutlets With Young Carrots. Trim a bunch of carrots and cook them until tender; drain well. Get a piece of neck of mutton, cut into cutlets and trim them neatly; brush them over with butter and broil quickly, turning them frequently. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter into a pan and melt, then add the carrots and fry until hot. When ready, arrange then in the center of a hot dish and strew with finely-minced parsley. Arrange the broiled cutlets round and serve with brown gravy. To Sweeten Butter. Rancid butter is unfit for use, even for cooking purposes. But one can restore it to some degree of its original sweetness, and thereby render it fit for cooking, at least. Melt the butter, and stir into it a pinch of baking soda; remove from the fire and drop it into a piece of toasted bread. Keep the butter for ten or fifteen minutes where it will not harden, remove the bread and you will be surprised at the difference in the taste of the butter. Herring Canapes. Prepare the canapes by cutting slices of bread half an inch thick, then cutting them across diagonally, forming two three-cornered pieces out of each slice. Fry these pieces in oil or butter to a nice golden brown. Then spread each with herring paste, dip the longest corners in finely chopped parsley and pile in the center a small teaspoonful of finely chopped hard-boiled egg. Put them in the refrigerator until needed to serve. Marking Linen. A quick and attractive way to mark sheets, pillow cases, towels and other flat work for the laundry, so that ugly indelible ink markings will not be made, is to place a small initial in cross-stitch, embroidered with dull blue, on the inside of the hem or in the corner of unmarked towels. This catches the eye of the laundry-marker and prevents the unsightly inked letter. EAT APPLE FREELY WELL DESCRIBED AS SUBSTI- TUTE FOR MEDICINE. Humble Fruit, Because It Is So Common, Has Not Been Received With the Appreciation That It Because it is a common fruit, the apple is not appreciated at its full value. As one authority states, its rank in value among fruits is equal to wheat among cereals. Its proportion of salts and phosphates helps to keep the liver, stomach and intestines in a healthy condition. A diet of apples is considered by some to be as effective as the famous grape cure. In a word, apples, especially when eaten in simple form, are a valuable and inexpensive substitute for medicine. Use early apples very freely, especially uncooked, for dessert. To give variety to the menus, serve apples in the many appetizing desserts easy to prepare. Avoid overeating, use meat sparingly. Eat eggs, fish and vegetables. Give the children eggs and milk to supply energy and building material. As fresh vegetables are abundant, it is possible virtually to eliminate meat and revel in the month's special resources. Avoid rich pastry, and let desserts be light, easily made and refreshing. Heroically turn your eyes from recipes for pies and elaborate puddings. Seek originality in using flavors and seasonings; don't be afraid to introduce to your family an old friend in a new dress of different seasonings. Variety, even in seasonings, may help to keep a family from getting into ruts. A cook of my acquaintance sometimes puts a tiny dust of cinnamon and ginger into her vegetable cream soup; they lend a unique but subtle flavor. Venture some combinations which may not be as well liked. Cut loose from what one "likes best" and give the palate a surprise party, for psychological reasons, at least. In planning all meals avoid combinations which give a sameness of types of food. For instance, never combine in a meal such dishes as cream of potato soup, halibut with egg sauce, mashed potato and corn, cream cheese, salad and junket. Always remember that a rich soup is suitable to precede only a moderately hearty course; that a very heavy main course should be followed by a light salad and a delicate dessert, instead, for instance, of serving mince pie and cheese after a roast-beef course. Green corn prepared for soup, fritters or to scallop will be much more delicate if one is careful either to cut just the top from the kernel, or to score the rows with a sharp knife and scrape out the pulp with the back of a knife-blade, instead of cutting off the whole kernel and including a large proportion of the skin.—Exchange. Lobster Pie. Pick meat from two medium-sized freshly-bolled lobsters, cut it into small neat pieces. Bruise the shells and spawn in a mortar; put them into a stew pan with a quarter of a pint of water, three spoonfuls of vinegar, half teaspoonful salt and pepper, and a quarter of a teaspoonful of pounded mace. Smimmer gently until the goodness is extracted, then strain the gravy, thicken with an ounce of butter rolled in flour, and let it boil again. Line edges of a pie dish with good puff paste, put in pieces of lobster, strain gravy over them, strew some finely-grated bread crumbs on them, lay the cover over all. Bake in a moderate oven until crust is done, when it is ready to serve, hot or cold. Time to bake: an hour and a quarter. Sufficient for six or eight persons. Kitchen Hints. Never leave potatoes in a saucepan after they are cooked, as this spills their color. To keep hot, place in a basin in a steamer. Chopped suet is very useful for replacing eggs in milk puddings. Simply sprinkle a little on the top and the pudding will be rich and creamy. Always press silk under a piece of muslin to prevent the silk from becoming hard and crackly. First damp the muslin, and use a moderately hot iron till the muslin is quite dry. Breakfast Cakes An excellent plan is to keep three baking powder tins, a quarter, half and pound size. Brush the can to be used with butter and pack in leftover cereal while hot and cover. When needed slip out of the can, cut in one-half-inch slices and fry in butter. Serve with maple syrup. Almost all of the large variety of cooked breakfast foods can be used in this way. Scalloped Salmon. One can salmon, one cupful of white sauce, 5 or 6 soda crackers. Pick salmon over, remove skin, bones and oil; flake fish with a fork. Take a medium-sized agate dish, put in a layer of rolled crackers, another layer of salmon and so on, continuing until the dish is all used. Reserve enough crackers for the top. Bake in hot oven and brown. Blueberry Cakes. Cream one-half cupful of butter and three-quarters of a cupful of sugar. Add two well-beaten eggs, one-half cupful of milk, two cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one quart of blueberries. Bake in cup tins and serve hot with hard sauce. Creamed Rice. One-third cupful of rice, third cupful of sugar, third teaspoonful of salt, three cupfuls of milk. Simmer slowly until thick and creamy, about an hour. If too thick add more milk. Just before taking from fire add good lump of butter. To Remove Scorch Stains All traces of the damage done by too hot an iron may be quickly removed by dampening material with peroxide of hydrogen, then pressing and putting in the sun tc b es, ..

It seems from present indications ‘that women are to go through the win- ter in a sweater, just as they have gone so garbed through the summer, ‘Of course, it 1s quite improbable that they shall wear thelr sweaters, and their attendant sport accessories, to winter teas and matinees, as they have worn them to summer garden parties and morning concerts. But, neverthe- Jess, women shall all count to thelr credit a8 many sweaters a8 they can aftord, fortified by the knowledge that ‘they shall be able to wear them all threadbare before spring. Quite naturally, the sweater will be most worn for outdoor sports, And that skating is to be the chief of out- door sports seems quite probable, Skating by no means outlived Its ap- peal to fusion last winter, So it Ix quite likely that we shall see some charming skating costumes con- sisting of sweater, with, perhaps, vel yeteen cap and skirt to match, One such costume already designed shows ‘@ beavy ,bright blue knitted sweater, charming. ‘They are often trimmed with satin In selftone; a band at the foot of the skirt, Ughtly faced with some resilient stiffening to give the soft skirt a little fare and with collar, cuffs and groups of tiny satin buttons.

Handy for Feeding the Baby. Suspending a baby’s bottle on a sort of trolley is the fdea on which Emil Sylvester Kolb of Philadelphia has re- TB | \ / ceived a patent. He would attach # rod to the cot, with sleeves slidably mounted on the rod, rings on the sleeves and a cord looped through the rings, with a wire basket to hold the bottle at just the right height and angle, hanging to the cord. ‘This would obvinte the necessity of holding the bottle to the baby’s mouth or of laying it on a pillow off which it easily rolls, It will always be just where the baby can get It, Boat-Shaped Veil. ‘The new boat-shaped veil Is at Its best when draped over a rather small hat, also elongated in shape. The veil 1s thrown over the hat so that the point in front falls well below the bust and the sides and back of the veil drape over the sides and back of the hat. ‘These vells are made of fine hexngonal ‘mesh with seattered designs in dots ‘and hand-ron sprays or vines. A fa- eee style in the boat-shaped veil is in black mesh, very fine, with black velvet stars all around the edge as a border, and a well-seattered diamond- shaped device in chenille dots, dis closing a delicate flower spray. Health and Good Looks. In the very fit of the nightgown health and looks are concerned, all au: thorities agreeing that the sleeping gar- ment must be loose so that the flesh may be lapped with the air it needs. They say, In fact, that even a close- fibered material is bad for the night dress, while the tight neck and wrist bands are the height of folly, as in sleep It is of supreme {mportance that the skin of the body should have the chance to breathe that the clothes have denied it all day.

All sorts of traditions and superstitions are cou- nected with this period, and various dates are also given. In some sections the “dog days” are sald to begin on July 24 and to end on August 24, while still others at tribute the malevolent fnfluence of the dog star upon the earth to the period from August 4 to September 4, in ac- cordance with the ancient Egyptian reckoning. As a matter of fuct, the rising of the dog star, Vanis Majoris or Sirius, has nothing to do with the affair at all. ‘The rising of that star has been so accelerated by the pro- cession of the equinoxes during the passage of more than 2,000 years that the corresponding conditions for the anclent dog days no longer éxist. ‘In ancient times in the latitudes of and the entire place became redolent of the past. After the service one of the wardens showed me the windows in detall, I asked after the famous east one, since Thad known about It, and the warden sald that he did not know where It was. ‘This window, a8 1 recollect, was presented by Spain to King Henry Vit and at a later time it was removed from its place In the east of St. Mar- garet’s in the fear that the soldiers of Cromwell might destroy it. Now, ap- parently, it was gone agiin and tts place was taken by plain glass. On the former occasion of its disappenr- ance {t was said that it was hidden in the tower of the church, “I do not know where it Is," sald the warden, “It was tuken out in the fear that It might be destroyed in a Zeppelin attack, We know that the chance was slight, but It was best to be safe.” ‘The warden then enlled my atten- tion to windows in which people of the United States had an interest. Among these Is the large one in the west which bears the American fag, a very small one, at the upper left- hand side, with the British arms in the corresponding place on the other side, ‘This was placed in the church, as Is well known, wholly by people of the United States, and beside {t 18 an- other put In by George W.

We may even be forced to abandon that picturesque phrase, “the feminine intellect.” The time is ripe for a stand, and this Rev, Oscar Vor- hees, secretary of the fraternity has Just taken with a Canute-like gesture ‘at the national conference, Enrnestly he recommends that annual admission of women be curtailed. “It will ve generaliy conceded,” he blandly urges, “that a larger share of its (the socl- ety's) reputation must come from Its men members."—The New Republic. Masianistas Aausic At the Paris exposition of 1900 there was great rivalry between the Hun- garian and Roumanian orchestras. The Hungarian gipsies came in bands there several times to entertain the idle Parisians, But the Roumapians were anovelty. ‘The Roumanians played the popular airs of their country on thelr flutes and clarinets, airs moving and tender, ‘They also played, as did their rivals from beyond the mountains, the violin and the cobza, a kind of guitar with ten strings which took the place of the cymbal of the gipsy orchestra, Everyone went to heur the Roumanians because of their bizarre repertory. ‘Their national costume was of a striic ing character, ‘Their white shirts em- broldered in many colors, their white trousers, braided with ‘black, their short, fringed walsteouts added to thelr picturesque appearance, “When the war is over,” suys a French journal, “the patrons of our eafes will substi: tute the Roumanians for the crisp- haired gipstes.” / aiakasses To the door of every generation there comes a knocking and unless the household, like the Thane of Cawdor and his wife, have been doing some deed without a name, they need not shudder.

As the day dawned the ship was lightened for a third time to enable them, to ap proach nearer to the shore, ‘TAts-time the main cargo of wheat was.thrown out, heretofore having been saved as long as possible. ‘The salons werosta- millar with Malta, but not #fth "his part where the ship now lay. Discoy- ering a small creek, they percelved a -certaln bay witha beach upon which ‘they might run the ship, and hold tt “without Its going-to pleces before they could land. It would have been Im- possible to escape if they ran upon the rocks in a heayy sea. The words “taken up anehor” (v. 40) indicates that the saflors hind cast them over- board, but attached to the ship. Now they cut the cables and permitted “themselves not to be arichored but to blow with the stortif ‘that they might land upon the beach. Approaching the inlet, where the waters of the bay |met that of the sdf, “where the two Seas met,” the, vessel, Would not an- |Swer to its helm. The ship probably ‘drew about 18 feet of water, and the bottom stuck ti thé clinging mud and clay, and the forepart began to break [away from the rear, due to the vio- lence of the waves. Here Paul had his most narrow escape (vy. 42). Not alone was he on the polnt of losing his life by the sea, but the sword hung over his head, not "that of Inwful ex- cutloner, but of a selfish murderer, Before it’ wai @inger from the sail- ors; now It is the soldiers, but ‘the centurion proved true, and all of the prisoners were saved for Paul's sake.

Colored voters who have legally reg- istered should not be intimidated at the polls next Tuesday. Vote early and vote for the party which has al- ways stood for a free citizenship. A Post headline announces three hundred and fifty Negroes signed up to vote for Wilson. Although very few people pay serious attention to anything published in that yellow journal, we suppose the reference is to the Wilson-Gardner Club of ten members, promoted by a prominent N. A. A. C. P. member. Have you noticed that the Wilson brand Negrophobia is contagious? Nearly every small white man placed at the head of affairs feels that his foremost duty is to keep up a spiteful, insidious discrimination against such colored people as come under his administration. Let's vote together all the time and we shall finally get rid of the whole regime. Considering the difficulty which the school authorities had in filling the vacancy caused by the death of Prof. Foster, it is hard to see how his name was overlooked in making out the program of memorial exercises at the teachers' institute last Saturday. Yet such is given out as being the cause of the omission, which proved very grievous alike to teachers and patrons of the Negro schools. YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS ARE IN JEOPARDY. No national election since the Civil War has been fraught with so much peril to the manhood rights of the Negro American as the one which is to be held next Tuesday, November 7, 1916. On next Tuesday the Negro citizens will face the greatest crisis of their career. They have just cause for alarm, and the peril that threatens them can be averted only by the wise use of the ballot. THE DEMOCRATIC PERIL. The issues upon which the future welfare of the Negro citizen depend are so clearly marked that none but a mind that is fulfully depraved or perverted could fail to comprehend, take warning and act in self defense. A man who is so depraved as to vote against his own interest, is unworthy of citizenship and deserves to lose it. No greater disaster could come to the Negro American as the result of next Tuesday's election than the re- election of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency for another term of four years, with a Democratic Congress to support and enforce with legislative action, his policies and recommendations. Of the many policies which President Wilson has adopted during his present administration, the only one from which he has not deviated, is the policy of persecution and humiliation of the Negro American, which he adopted and put into practice as soon as he entered the White House. By hostile acts and utterances against individuals and against the race as a whole, President Wilson has proven himself the most implacable enemy that ever occupied the White House. The course pursued by President Wilson during the three and a half years he has been in office has proven that he is irrevocably committed to the infamous policy of segregation and elimination of the Negro American from the government service, and measures consistent with this policy, that have been introduced in Congress, by Democrats, leave no room for doubt that it is his purpose to bring about the complete disfranchisement of the Negro American and reduce him to a condition far worse than chattie slavery. It is inconceivable that any Negro American, who has the least degree of manhood will cast his ballot next Tuesday, for Woodrow Wilson, or for any Democratic congressman or senator, for to do so will be a deliberate act of political suicide. SOLID VOTE FOR HUGHES NEGRO'S ONLY SALVATION. The only hope of salvation for the Negro American in next Tuesday's election is in a solid vote for Hughes and the Republican candidates for congress. Republican victory next Tuesday means more to Negro Americans than to any other class of citizens. The Republican party is committed to the policy of freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all men, without regard to color, race or condition. The return of the Republican party to power will mean the restoration to the Negro American of all of the rights, privileges and patronage of which they were deliberately deprived by President Wilson, and new opportunities for progress will be opened to them by Charles E. Hughes. Republican victory in the State of Missouri means even more to the Negro voters of the state. It means the election of Judge Lamm, as governor and the election of Walter S. Dickey for United States Senator. It also means the giving of the electoral vote of Missouri to Hughes for President. It also means the defeat of United States Senator Jas. A. Reed, who led the Democratic members of congress in an attack upon the manhood rights of the Negro race, and who will do all in his power to disfranchise them, if re-elected. LAWRENCE —That the uncouth Negro is a handicap to the race. —That Negroes who owe and do not want to pay never look you squarely in the eye and if possible go down another street. —That it is difficult to understand the principles which actuate Negroes who have been "Jim Crowed" by the Democratic party, go to the polls and cast their ballots for that party. Vacant stair, eh? —That the biggest bargains usually come when one is "broke." —That a certain lady is suing a popular young man for breach of promise and says that when his love letters are read in court there will be some squirming done. —That you can't measure a man by the money he has for some of God's more noble men are the poorest, —That a certain young lady thought that she'd propose to her "steady," but instead of an acceptance he said, "Well, if I'd known that was your intention, we could have quit long ago." —That a certain popular young man was seen running at a rapid speed through the Paseo the other evening and a young lady close behind.

NOVEMBER 4. 1916 Does Prohibition Prohibit? THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT. In these days of political stress, intense business application, war excitement, pleasing home duties and a hundred and one other distractions, the average man and woman finds it difficult to spare the time necessary to study questions of an economic nature, even though they have direct bearing upon one's own natural interest. Here's the Prohibition amendment. Read it carefully. Few who have read it are cognizant of its drastic provisions. The following is a copy of the Amendment: HERE'S THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT—READ IT CAREFULLY. Proposed amendment to the Constitution of Missouri, to be submitted to the legal voters of the State of Missouri for their approval or rejection at the regular general election to be held on the seventh day of November, A. D. 1916, prohibiting the manufacture of, the introduction into, and the giving, exchanging, selling, or disposing of intoxicating liquors in the State of Missouri, except wine for sacramental purposes, prescribing a penalty for the violation thereof and repealing all parts of the State Constitution, State and Municipal laws in conflict therewith. Be it enacted by the people of the State of Missouri. Section 1. From and after July first, 1917, no intoxicating liquor or liquors, except wine for sacramental purposes, shall be manufactured in or introduced into the State of Missouri under any pretense. Every person who sells, exchanges, gives, barters, or disposes of intoxicating liquor of any kind to any person in the State of Missouri, or who manufactures, or introduces into, or attempts to introduce into the State of Missouri, intoxicating liquor of any kind; except wine as aforesaid for the purposes aforesaid; shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not less than three hundred dollars or more than one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than six months nor more than twelve months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. All parts of the State Constitution, and laws of the State and Municipalities therein conflicting with the provisions of this section, are hereby repealed. It means that if Prohibition carries it will be a crime for you to serve beer or wine at your own table; it means that you cannot keep liquors in your home to be used in case of sickness or to preserve fruits and vegetables without becoming a law-breaker; it means that the man who has a locker at his club will be a criminal if he keeps it stocked; it means that the moderate drinker, the man or woman who has no appetite for beer or wine and who drinks it in his own home where his friends are gathered around his table will be deprived of the privilege of indulgence under hospitable conditions, while the drunkard, the man who craves liquor, will have it at any hazard, and can get all he wants of bootleg whiskey in some dark cellar, rotten joint or dive. The time worn failure of Prohibition in other states has been amply proved to the satisfaction of any unprejudiced person. It has nowhere Prohibited. Other articles in this series state what has happened in the states of Kansas, Alabama, Maine, Colorado, Arizona, Washington. Every quotation made has been taken verbatim from an official document or Prohibition speech, report or interview. There has been no distortion, no departure from strict literal accuracy. Don't let fanatical reformers foist upon you a law that has proven a failure, and a costly one, in other states. Don't give up your freedom. Don't burden yourself with increased taxes.

NEGROES SHOULD WORK FOR G. O. P. SUCCESS Negro Republicans should not be satisfied with casting their own vote for the Republican candidates next Tuesday, but should work industriously to win votes for the Republican ticket, and help to redeem the state from Democratic misrule. With a solid Negro vote for the Republican ticket in Missouri, there is little or no doubt that the electoral vote of the state will be delivered to Hughes. The strength of the Negro vote as a balance of power in this state has been amply demonstrated, and it is up to the Negro to make good at this election, by showing an united front at the polls on election day. It is impossible to exaggerate the danger in which we as a people stand as to our manhood rights, if the Republicans fail to win in this election, in view of what has already been done by the present administration at Washington to eliminate the Negro from the service of the federal government it must be perfectly plain to all but those who refuse to see that four years more of Wilson in the White House will mean the probable destruction of all of our civil rights. All our rights are in jeopardy. It Does P THE TRUTH In these days of ment, pleasing home average man and wife study questions of a upon one's own nature.

There is a tidal wave of race prejudice sweeping over this country at this time as the result of President Wilson's war upon the Negro race that threatens to envelope and destroy the last vestage of the privileges we have, and unless we awaken to the gravity of our danger and get busy the calamity may yet fall upon us and crush us with political enslavement. The paramount issue with every self respecting Negro in Missouri should be to do all in his power to get every Negro vote in his community into the ballot box next Tuesday, as a straight Republican vote for every candidate on the ticket. Take no chances. Don't scratch. Vote straight. Make it unanimous. Every vote will be needed. Wake up the indifferent voter.

One of the most delightful exchanges of courtesy witnessed in years in this city was the return visit of Allen Chapel A. M. E. church to St. Stephen's Baptist church, last Sunday afternoon. Fourteen officers, 26 stewardesses and deacons and more than 200 of Allen's loyal members accompanied their pastor, Dr. William H. Thomas, to St. Stephens, where they were joined by Rev. Dr. F. D.

If we should adopt the professional Prohibition philosophy and prohibit everything that s or may be abused, there would not be anything left, for everything is abused somewhere by somebody. The professional Prohibi- tionist is the most dogmatic of all so-called reformers; he asserts that the drinking of any kind of beverages containing any amount of alcohol is evil and only’ evil and therefore should be prohibited by law. He does not reason or argue—he asserts and demands; he appeals to prejudice to passion and to the unthinking mind. He knows that it is easier to arouse feeling than to awaken thought.

DON’T FORGET ~ Butler-Cream BREAD Order From Your Grocer Today NAFZIGER BAKING CO. “The Cleanest Bakery in the world” In Fine Feather BY VICTOR REDCLIFFE (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) "I can't pay you in money, child," spoke Mrs. Hannah Blake. "Oh, I never thought of money, dear Mrs. Blake! I only too glad to be able to help you." "You are a good, kind-hearted girl, and nothing but happiness will come to you. It been a hard week for all of us, but you have borne your burden like some sweet angel." "Oh, Mrs. Blake!" fluttered Hazel Blair, all alush. "It's true, and I don't know how we could have got along without you. But as I began to say, I can't pay you in money, but I must make you a little present. Come with me, child." When cross-grained, tyrannical old Silas Blake was taken down with a fever, it was in harvest time, with all the hands busy, the well ones of the family included. A nurse was necessary, but the Blakes were in money struts; Hazel, who lived at the next farm with her aunt, volunteered. Mrs. Blake had been friendly and kind to Hazel's mother during her last illness, and the true-daughter remembered it. Mrs. Blake led Hazel into a little storeroom where the old bureau stood, and opened one of its drawers. She carefully drew out a long, bulky, but neatly cared-for package done up in a sheet, placed it on a table, after dusting off the latter, and drew the folds of the sheet, revealing a beautiful toilette. The outfit of a beautiful, expensive silk attire was complete, even to petticoat and hose A woman in a long dress is holding a scarf. She is standing in a room with a large window and a picture frame on the wall. Laid Aside the Treasured Dress. There was a pair of dainty slippers, hair ribbons and a belt of satin, all of one harmonious, delicate lilac hue. "And there's a hat, dear," imparted Mrs. Blake, "in that box yonder. "It's all for you, that's my present." "Oh!" It was all that Hazel could utter. She was dazzled. Her eyes shone, her breath came in little fluttering gasps, and her cheeks were radiant. "Was there ever anything in the world so beautiful?" she palpitated. "You come here the next two evenings, and we'll get at it and fit it to you," pursued Mrs. Blake, "although I fancy it won't need much remodeling, for Mrs. Van Buskirk was just your height and build." "Who is Mrs. Van Buskirk?" queried the bewildered Hazel. "The lady who with her husband summoned with us last season—don't you remember?" "I think I do," replied Hazel vaguely. "They seemed to have plenty of money," explained Mrs. Blake, "but the last week they were here some business troubles worried them. They had to hurry back to the city and did not have enough to pay me all they owed me. Mrs. Van Buskirk insisted on leaving this outfit, which she had never worn. Later I learned they had all gotta to pieces, so I guess Mrs. Van Buskirk never cared to wear the dress, for she did not send for it, so it's yours, dear. You love nice things. As you get older you are going to get into society, a pretty girl like you." "Maybe, Mrs. Blake," smiled Hazel, "but such a dress was never worn at hayrack rides and harvest festivals and church sociables. But, oh! all the same it will be a wondrous delight to me to have such pretty things, if it's GROUP OF REAL COMMUNISTS Remarkable Settlement on the Coast of the North Sea Founded by Louis XIV. Communists may be surprised to learn that an absolutely communistic settlement exists in France on the coast of the North sea between Gravelines and Dunkirk. Jacques Bertillon has lately described this remarkable colony. It is called Fort Mardyck and was founded by Louis XIV. It was then only a bare point of land and was frequently visited by pirates. Here the king established four families from Picardy to occupy the fort, giving them a vast uncultivated territory on condition that they would never sell it nor divide it up. The descendants of these families, almost all fishermen, have adopted the following regulation: Everyone born there who marries is to receive 2,400 square meters of land, but possession of this property is only temporary. On the holder's death the property returns to the community. only to dress up once in a white, just to look at myself and dream that I am a princess, or the like!" The two evenings of fixing over were like wild riots of glorious pleasure. When, fully arrayed in the beautiful dress, Hazel stood before the mirror, Mrs. Blake went into ecstasies and Hazel's bright eyes danced. Hazel, back home, laid aside the treasured dress, but her last glance at night was for it. Then she would dream of high-born dames, and knights of chivalry, and gilded palaces, and great social functions. One day, when her nunt was away, Hazel dressed up in full elegance. She was possessed with girlish longing to show herself. Her thought was to get past the wooden stretch between her home and the summer hotel grounds—just once parade past the promemaders, and feel that, in attire at least, she was one of the "mudding crowd." When she neared the throng, however, Hazel's timid nature shrank from the ordeal. She went to a quiet nook in the woods, sat down on a fallen tree and dreamed. She arose suddenly. Hazel had removed her pretty picture hat and placed it beside her. A little dog came running up, seized the prized headgear, and run off with it. "Come back! oh, come back," cried the distracted Hazel, but the mischievous little animal was out of sight like an arrow. Hazel had rushed vainly, in pursuit, fairly crying, when a quick whistle rang out and a well-dressed young man came into view. The dog scampered up to him and the hat was rescued, unharmed. What a delightful young man—all courtesy, apology and consideration! He was manifestly captivated by the fair face, but indulged only in a few generalities, and was gone, but he had managed to linger for fully five minutes, and Hazel was duly impressed. She had in a measure been false to herself. For a few moments at least, she had carried out all the dignity of a fashionable young lady to the manner born. It was quite a small and thrilling experience to pose in an exclusive sphere and to be accepted as a simon-pure devotee of fashion! Gordon Marie did not forget that charming face. It was strange, he told himself, but somehow the flashing memory of that chance meeting caused him to long for another sight of its possessor. Twice he roamed through the woods, hoping to come across the ideal of his dreams, but Hazel did not reappear. Then he made inquiries among his set, but that furnished no clue. He decided that the young lady who had so impressed him must belong to some of the rich farmer families of that district. Then one day, he met her. He was passing a neat, small cottage, with a beautifully kept garden, when the unfenced lawn and a cool-looking pump in the back yard tempted him to allay his thirst. As he rounded the house, he came upon a wash bench, a tub sending up snowy cascades of soapsuds, and bending over it, was the lady of his dreams. "Could I have a drink," he began, and started and stared. "Certainly," said Hazel, but in a vivid gasp and all aflush, recognizing her knight of the picture hat episode. She was an enticing picture to her admirer as she daintily wiped the suds from her little hands on the great enveloping apron she wore, as she tripped to the kitchen and returned with a glass and handed it to him. He made a clumsy task of pumping, and Hazel had to show him how to mange the crank handle. Then both laughed, and her embarrassment was gone. He referred to their first meeting. Hazel told him the story of her wonderful dress. Who could resist her truth and simplicity? Not Gorden Marie, heart-hungry for real love, and here he found it. In after years Hazel Marle had a whole wardrobe of the latest gowns, but the one in which she had first flashed into the presence of her devoted husband she kept as a cherished memento. Adroit Evasion: "Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Torkins, "do you understand the eight-hour law?" "Certainly." "Well, I wish you'd explain it to me." "Why—er—that's one of the things the eight-hour law forbids. It is so complicated, I couldn't possibly explain it to you without working overtime." Wrong Definition. "Woman," said the misguided moralizer, "is one of nature's opportunities." "Don't you believe it," rejoined the demoralizer. "Everybody knows that when an opportunity arises it goes without saying, while a woman hangs around the front door for an hour saying 'good-bye.'" A Surprise. "What was Mrs. Bizzy doing yesterday?" "To my great surprise I found she had nothing on hand but her gloves." which may dispose of it to someone else. Each section has now become a garden with a little white house in the middle of it, and there are 2,000 of these. The people belonging to this community, freed from all fear for the future of their family, marry young and have many children. The births average forty-three a thousand, and infant mortality is very low. Poverty is unknown here because it is impossible. Some of the men leave the security of their quiet homes for greater profits in Dunkirk, the nearest big city, or go even further away. Is this the model of human society in the future? Gentle Hint My little sister sometimes accompanied me when I called on my friends. She made a practice of asking for something to eat, and I asked her not to do so again.

LOCAL INFECTION EXPLAINS ILLS Baffling Eye Affections, Joint Ailments, and Even Appendicitis Accounted For. DOCTORS ADMIT LAY WISDOM High Priests of Medicine No Longer Regard Patient's Diagnosis as Mere Superstition—Tonsils and Teeth at Bottom of Trouble. New York.—Recent experiments, investigations, and experimental treatment in the domains of medicine and surgery have led to a solution of many of the hitherto puzzling problems of medical science. Physicians are beginning to realize that many general constitutional disturbances which baffled their skill are still due to small local foci of infection. When these are removed their patients soon recover, sometimes, indeed, with astonishing rapidity. How recent the realization of the real solution of these medical mysteries is may be judged from the following editorial comment in the New York Medical Journal: "For many years it was thought that we were well acquainted with bacteria and their vagaries, but recently we have discovered that there remains much to be learned. Of the various activities of bacteria the most interesting at present is that of the so-called focal infection. By this is meant a small, more or less quiescent point of disease, which, although it causes no local disturbance, gives rise to symptoms elsewhere in the body. Most Important Manifestation. "Probably the most important of these manifestations is the involvement of the various joints of the body. If we pick up our textbooks to read about arthritis, the chances are that Romance That Began Nearly Half a Century Ago Is Happily Ended. Cleveland, O.—A romance which had its birth a half century ago in the public schools of Niles, but which was broken by a lovers' quarrel, culminated Monday night at eight o'clock at the parsonage of Rev. T. Alfred Fleming at No. 9815 Pratt avenue, when Mrs. Emma Davis of No. 10720 Massie avenue and David Armstrong of No. 10521 Grantwood avenue were married. Mrs. Armstrong is fifty-eight years old, her husband is sixty-two. Armstrong and his bride were playmates in Niles 50 years ago. Almost constant association brought their two hearts together, and as years passed, plans were made for their marriage. Armstrong was then twenty-one. Then came the lovers' quarrel—a trivial disagreement—and the twain drifted apart. Armstrong married; so did his first love, and then nearly 40 years passed away. Death left them single again, and fate drew them together. Both settled in Cleveland scarcely a thousand yards apart. Their love dream of youth was resumed. And they began courting anew! The aged "newly weds" will make their home at 10720 Massie avenue. BOY GETS A HOODOO DEER California Lad Shoots Old Buck That Dodged Bullets of Other Hunters. Salinas, Cal. — Monterey county, which usually has more deer killed in it than any other county in California, tops all the local records with a forked-horn buck that weighed 231 pounds, dressed. The buck was killed in the last day of the season by William Casey, Jr., near his home at San Lucas. The deer was an old one, and hunters have been trying for years to get it, but the wily buck always managed to escape the bullets and was called "the hoodoo." Wisconsin Farmer Would Rather Do That Than Stay in Jail, He Says. Racine, Wis.—Herman Isfriding of Burlington is chopping wood for Police Chief Baker at $2 a day. The chief is glad to have the work done, because he has just put in a cement floor, and couldn't find anyone to chop the old one into firewood till he hit on Isfriding. Herman says he is we shall be much discouraged, not only by the unfavorable prognosis, but also by our inability to determine the cause. "Since the work of Rosenow and others, however, we are fast realizing that a small collection of bacteria may be responsible for the joint condition, and we are also discovering the fact that the only way to accomplish much good is to attack the primary focus. "At present the capable physician is no longer content to give antipyretics in expectation of a marvelous cure. If a patient now gives a history of chronic and painful joints, the first thought of his physician should be focal infection. To determine the presence or absence of such a condition is not always an easy task, and outside aid, particularly the Roentgen ray, will have to be called upon. Tonsils and Teeth "The tonsil may be diseased, or, what is very common, there may be infection at the roots of the teeth. This last is a frequent condition and may be present without local indications. It is also interesting to note that many inflammatory conditions of the eye are directly referable to dental infections. This has long been recognized by the laity, but the idea was considered to be mere superstition by the medical high priests. "After removal of the focal infection the patient's rapid recovery, in many instances, is little short of marvelous. In most cases no further treatment seems to be necessary, the joints cease to be painful, and the convalescent goes on his way reloicing. "That bacteria in the foci cause the distant lesion has been proved so many times that there can now be no doubt as to the causal relation. The isolated organisms, when injected into experimental animals, show a special affinity for tissues similar to those involved in the original instance. A joint will be attacked, an eye become involved, even the appendix will succumb, according to the affinity shown in the first case. "The more thoroughly the matter is investigated, the clearer it becomes that focal infection seems to explain satisfactorily certain of the hitherto unsolved problems of medicine." While Owner Seeks It, Pointer Digs Hole for Fur Piece She Picked Up in Yard. Winsted, Conn.—Bess, a black and white pointer, owned by Col. F. M. Chapin of Pine Meadow, entered the yard of Wilbur Deming of that village where a black muff 15 inches square was out for an airing after being taken out from a cedar chest. The dog carried the muff into Frank Holmes' yard and partly concealed it under the leaves when search was being made by members of the Deming family, Bess took the muff home and, after digging a hole in newly-plowed land, covered the muff with dirt. The searching party finally reached the Chapin premises and recovered the muff, which was undamaged. STOP WAR DRAFT "DOPING" British Government to Punish Men Who Drug Themselves to Escape Army Service. London.—It will now be an offense to injure oneself in order to escape military service. An amendment has been made to the defense of the realm regulations, stating that any man in the reserve forces who, when ordered to report for medical examination, feligns any disease or infirmity shall be guilty of an offense. The amendment in effect states that if a man produces any disease or infirmity or maims or injures himself, or takes any drug likely to render him temporarily or permanently unfit for military service, he is guilty of an offense. Placed Belfry on Wrong End. St. Clairsville, O.-The carpenters erecting the new Florence Methodist Episcopal church in Pinch Run placed the belfry on the rear instead of the front of the building. Members are peeved. The mistake may be rectified before the dedication, which will be the latter end of the month: only too glad to work ten hours a day at the job, although he is reputed worth $50,000 and hasn't been doing much hard labor of late years. Mrs. Isfriding had him brought to court a few days ago and sentenced to 90 days in jail on a charge of abusing her while drunk. Isfriding was taken in charge by the sheriff and has been serving his time. When he overheard the police chief asking the sheriff for a prisoner to do the work, he jumped at the chance. FIND A SNAKE IN BANANAS Attacked by Whole Office Force, Serpent Is Cornered and Commits Suicide. Tacoma, Wash.—A well behaved, beautifully-colored, five-foot Porto Rican snake, specles unknown, which had smuggled his way some 5,000 miles in a bunch of bananas from his tropic home, arrived in Tacoma. Bill Hall, driver for Hammond & Co., packed a bunch of bananas to the scales. After weighing them he saw something that looked like a peculiar leaf in the top of the bunch. Bill stuck his finger down and the leaf turned into a big, red, hungry mouth. Bill let out a yell that sounded like a steamboat whistle and ran. The whole office force, armed with various weapons, advanced to the attack and the snake dropped on the floor and headed for the wharf. When surrounded he colled and was ready for battle. Seeing his chance for escape cut off the snake plunged his fangs into his own body, gave a final wriggle and turned over stone dead. HORSE DIGS UP A PURSE Clears Up Theft That Has Been a Mystery for More Than a Year. Beaver Falls, Pa.—A mystery of a year's standing has been cleared up, Recently Justice of the Peace W. H. McElvaney of New Galilee received a pocketbook containing checks and railroad tickets from Mayor Christopher of Lisbon, O. Last year Justice McElvaney attended the Columbiana county fair in Lisbon and reported to the authorities that his pocketbook had been stolen from his pocket. Mrs. McElvaney and a woman friend saw the theft take the pocketbook and the following day, the man was arrested in Smith's Ferry, Pa., Mrs. McElvaney identifying him. The grand jury released the prisoner for lack of evidence. A few days ago J. B. Lyther of Lisbon tied his horse to a post in the fair grounds. The horse dug up the pocket-book. OLD MINE WON AT CARDS Thirty Years Later Claim Shows Prospects of Producing a Large Fortune. Helena, Mont.—One wintry night some thirty years ago a group of men sat about a card table in Helena. It was late when one man shoved in his last "white" and lost. Demanding one more try, he offered a mining claim. Not a gambler in the house would give the desperate stranger so much as a chip for his claim—none but "Swede Sam" Wallin. The miner lost. The land which became Wallin's as a result of the night at cards lay in the Blossburg mining district, near Helena. As the years of three decades passed, its dirt remained unnoticed. Lately Wallin's claim may have grown to be worth $100,000. A prospector struck a rich vein of ore in the Blossburg district, running into Wallin's claim. Photo shows Alexander Paladini, the oldest fish merchant on the Pacific coast. He has been in the fish business for nearly 65 years, and during all this time he has bucked the fish trust and worked without vacation until he is known among his many acquaintances as the millionaire fishman. Life would not be worth living to Paladini if he could not don his rough rags and work in the fishery with the seven younger Paladinis. FOOD 65 PER CENT HIGHER General Cost of Living in England 45 Per Cent Greater Than Year Ago. London.—The average increase of retail prices for the principal articles of food between July, 1914, and Sep- term, 1916, has been 65 per cent. In- cluding rent, clothing, fuel and light the rise in the cost of living has been found by the food prices committee to be 45 per cent. In comparison with a year ago it shows an average increase of 20 per cent. farms near Burlington, 117 acres, a two-acre homestead in the city, an automobile, and money in the bank. $300 From Six Beehives.

Optimistic Thought A little with peace is better than much with war. WASHINGTON GOSSIP War Department Considers a Novel Steel Helmet War Department Considers a Novel Steel Helmet WASHINGTON.—The latest "engine" of military defense has been born in Washington. It is a combination steel helmet and trench digger, designed by Leonard D. Mahan, formerly in the United States army, now a because of a belief that a permanent helmet was an unnecessary burden on the soldier. Mahan hopes that his helmet will be adopted, however, for, he points out, it is not a permanent headgear and need only be worn while the men are under actual fire. The new helmet would not do away with the present campaign hat. It is made of crucible steel and resembles the grocer's sugar scoop. When marching, the helmet could be carried as a part of the equipment, and while in camp it could be used handily as a digger, baller, or even as a mess kit, Mahan believes. Although Mahan does not assert that his helmet ever would do away with the regular trench-digging tools, he points out that in battle his helmet would protect the head and neck, and still not do away with the campaign hat. Uncle Sam's Census Office Really Does Much Work Uncle Sam's Census Office Really Does Much Work THE bureau of the census is now completing the manufactures census for 1914. This sounds as though the figures might be ancient, but how about the time when this census was made public five years after the work was sents the outgrowth and development of a century and a quarter of periodical, and, in recent years, continuous, statistical inquiry. While various labor-saving machines have been installed by the government from time to time, there is, perhaps, no bureau of the entire fabric of federal work that has benefited more by the use of modern machinery. In fact, the census office is doing today with the use of machines what would be absolutely impossible if hand labor had to be employed. From time to time various reforms and improvements have been inaugurated in this office, and at present the current work on all lines is practically up to date—a condition which has not until recently existed during the bureau's history. According to officials of the bureau, the first use of mechanical appliances in the compilation of census data was made during the closing months of the work on the census of 1870, when a simple tallying machine was employed with good results. At the census of 1890 there was introduced a card system of tabulation, which, with modifications and improvements, is still employed. These cards are punched by what is known as a verification machine, which is almost human in its work, throwing out all cards with errors. Following this, the cards are put through an automatic sorting machine which takes care of some 300 cards a minute; following which the card is placed in still another machine, which counts them at the rate of 500 a minute, purely automatically, and finally they are put into still a fourth machine, which records each item of information indicated on the card. Great Variety of Domes in the National Capital Great Variety of Domes in the National Capital WASHINGTON possesses an unusual number of domed buildings. The student or lover of architecture finds here not only a great many, but a great variety of domes. It is extraordinary that examples of all the domes shaped windows and graceful segmental ornamentations will always be only adjuncts to its impressive feature—its size. In height the capitol dome reaches 287 feet into the air; its greatest diameter is 135 feet. Washington's most beautiful dome surmounts the Library of Congress. This has a diameter of 100 feet, making it almost as large as that of the capitol; but, offhand, one would certainly say that it is a much smaller dome. This is due to its shape. The library dome is an Italian renaissance type and is a flattened spherical vault. It is built of stucco applied to a framework of iron and steel, filled in with terra cotta. The domed roof is sheathed with copper, and over this is laid the coating of gold leaf, 23 karats fine. As far as ornamentation goes, this dome is the most exquisite in the United States. The interior walls are superbly painted and adorned with arabesques. The National museum possesses a dome neither huge nor extremely ornate; yet it is one of the most pleasing domes to the architectural eye that is found in the city. It recalls the dome of the Pantheon at Rome; in the matter of contour they are quite similar. These are Washington's three official domes. In addition to them are several church domes of large dimensions and varying ornateness. The Jewish synagogues of the city give a Byzantine touch to the capital's architectural horizon. The synagogue at the corner of Sixth and I streets has the true Arabian dome. Washington Discovers It Has an Official Motto JUSTITIA Omnibus." Discovered; the motto of the city of Washington, D. J.

This sounds as though the fig the time when this census was made undertaken, and then we thought we were lucky? As a matter of fact, very few of us realize the tremendous amount of work that is turned out by Uclee Sam's census office. In addition to the manufactures census and the general population census, many other censuses are undertaken at stated intervals, such as the tobacco census, now taken four times a year.

The Sacrifice By H. M. EGBERT (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) The day when Lella and Tommy came into the life of Jim Peters was his reddest of red letter days. He always saw the scene just as he had seen it then. The early snows had begun to whiten the hills, and Peters had driven his stock down into the lower country for the winter pastures. He was sitting in his hut, thinking over things. At thirty, he felt vaguely that he ought to be doing better for himself. Not that he wanted to leave the cattle country for the city. But life in a two-room shack, where he cooked his own meals and made his own bed, was becoming unhearable. Most of the settlers of his age were already married. The settlement was beginning to prosper. Neat little flower beds appeared round the houses and the young wives were very gaily dressed upon occasions. A church had been built; altogether it was a place for a young man with two thousand dollars in the bank to relocate in. But Jim had always lived a lonely life; he did not know how to change it. Too bashful to make advances to any of the town girls whom he saw on his rare visits, and with a vague feeling that he wanted a wife of a special, hardly defined type, something above the common run, he was brooding in his chair when there came a tap at the door. It was a timid tap, such as he had never heard. The men who tapped at Jim's door hammered with hairy fists until he opened to them. Jim opened now, and was amazed to see a woman and a boy outside. Both were thinly clad and shivering from the cold. Nevertheless the wom- A man in a cowboy hat stands in front of a tree, gazing at a mountainous landscape.

She offered no further explanation, but it was evident that she was gently bred. The look of weariness in her eyes haunted Jim for days. He took her down the hill to a woman of the valley. The hospitality of the West prevailed over suspicion. The stranger and her son were given shelter. Next day Lella Drayton, as she called herself, went to work for one of the richer settlers. But soon she was asked to fill a pressing need. The children were growing up and, in spite of its advantages, there was no school in the valley. She became the schoolmistress. Speculation was rife about her. She never mixed with the valley people, never talked about her past. And the West accepts women as well as men for what they are, and asks no questions. The days grew into weeks, into months. Jim Peters often found occasion to saddle his horse and ride down into the valley. He and the boy became fast friends. But Leila was as indifferent to him as to the other men. Perhaps Jim would never have found the opportunity he craved, of becoming her friend, but for an accident. The boy was straying on the railroad embankment in search of birds' eggs. His mother was with him, but seated a little distance behind the rise. Jim, watching them impatiently from the other side, knew that the afternoon train was due. Becoming uneasy, he hurried across the valley. He was just on the opposite ridge when he heard the train in the distance. The sound, which burst forth suddenly as the train came out of the tunnel, startled the boy, perched on a ledge. He lost his footing and fell twenty feet, to lie unconscious across the metals. At the same time the mother rose, discovered him and screamed. Jim plunged down the steep embankment, seized the boy, snatched him from the metals and cowered with him against the cliff, while the train went sweeping by, so near that the draft almost blew him from where he had planted himself. Afterward the boy opened his eyes. The distracted mother kneeled before Jim with her hands clasped. "How can I thank you?" she cried. "He is everything I have, he is everything in the world to me." "Be my friend," said Jim holding out his hand. That was Jim's chance. Friendship ripened. One day he asked her to become his wife. Then the strange look of fear that he knew so well came into her eyes. "No, you must not ask me that," she said. "I shall never marry again." And, seeing Jim's distress, she added: "I will tell you the truth. I am a runaway wife. I cannot speak ill of heat generated went up the chimney—where your shins roasted while your back froze. Real progress was made when the grate fire was moved to the center of the room and incased in thin cast iron or sheet iron, giving us the stove, and increasing the radiating surface 200 per cent. At the same time the size of the flue was reduced 75 per cent, and the large loss of heat characteristic of the open-grate fire was eliminated. Later improvements gave us the hot water and steam systems; and these now find some competition in the vapor system. The outside of a stove becomes hot from the fire within which heats the air in contact with it. This air in turn becomes lighter, rises, and is replaced by cold air from below and at the sides. This displacement of warm air by cold air continues, and produces currents. The room can be made comfortable with a stove when it is not too cold outside. If very cold outside, say ten degrees below, the current of air will become so cold while passing down the cold walls that the stove cannot heat the room comfortably. A sheet iron jacket, with neither top nor bottom, set up from the floor, will increase the rapidity of air circulation, since only the air within the jacket is heated. This air gets hotter and rises faster, thus making a more rapid circulation and a more effective heat. A stove with a jacket, placed in the cellar, becomes a furnace. A brick wall may be substituted for the steel jacket. A return fire through the floor some distance from the furnace, makes the system complete. Such a scheme is used for many churches, schools and assembly rooms, where the basement can be used as a furnace room. When this furnace is set a little lower in the ground and the neck divided, into several small pipes, it may be used to heat several rooms. Heat is conducted to the second-floor rooms by rectangular pipes set in the walls between the studs. Over each opening in the floor or walls is a register of perforated cast iron. In each pipe leading from a furnace is a damper, so that any pipe may be closed at will. There is a return air duct, to be used when the weather is too cold to allow the heated and used air to pass out of the house. The rooms are full of air at all times, and more air cannot be forced into them by the small pressure exerted by the warm air in the pipes below. In order to get this warm air into the rooms a way must be provided for the cold air to get out. This is done by means of a return air duct, which may open into a chimney and allow the air to pass out; or under the furnace and permit the air to be A reader in Belknap, Mont., sends us a letter concerning the sudden weather changes in that country, which, in view of the phenomenally wet season, will interest readers elsewhere: "In this valley of Clark's park of the Columbia on Saturday, June 17, it was 98 degrees on our porch. Monday following it began to blow up black clouds from the northwest with a cold wave. On Monday night and Tuesday it turned to snow and snowed as hard as I ever saw it in the winter my husband now. I could have borne with his infidelities, with his abuse, but—I did not want my boy to grow up to be like him." It was weeks afterward that she told hfm all. Her husband was a wealthy man in Omaha. When she found that she could endure life with him no longer she had run away, penniless, save for her railroad ticket. He had one redeeming quality: he loved his son. On this account she knew that he would leave no stone unturned to find them. Jim went away, sorrowing. He knew now that she could never be his. For she shrank instinctively, he felt without asking, from the publicity of divorce. Besides, to seek divorce would be to put her husband on her trail. She wanted to let the years roll between them, creating an ever widening barrier, until she felt that the past could never stretch out its grisly hand upon her. So the months changed into years. It was nearly three years since Lelia's coming when something happened which Jim had always known to be inevitable. It was morning, and he was on the high pastures with his cattle when he saw her running toward him, with the boy, scrambling up the steep hillside. She reached him; her face was white with fear. "He has found me!" she gasped. "O, save me!, Help me!" Up the road came the toot of an auto horn. Jim saw the car climb the grade like a heavy locomotive. The car stopped. A man leaped out, a man in the prime of life, absurdly strong, absurdly healthy, with the bluster, and yet the sense of power, that sometimes accompanies the successful man. He leaped to the ground and advanced upon the woman, smiling. Jim barred his path. "My wife," he said. "I know," answered Jim. "See here, young man. You don't perhaps understand. I am here to claim my own my legal own, my wife and child. She has nothing to fear from me. I have never laid my hands upon her. Stand out of my path." "You may have a legal right," said Jim, "but you ain't going to take her." The man laughed, whipped off his coat, and displayed a pair of muscular arms. "Her lover?" he sneered. "God witness, there has never been love between us," answered Jim. The woman sprang between them. "Jim, he is right," she said. "Now he has found me, I must go with him." Jim, amazed at the change of attitude, stood absolutely mute. The man nodded. "Good for you," he said. "Leila, the past is past. You'll never hear of it from me. It's only for the boy's sake I want you back. And I guess—you'll be happier than you were." Mechanically the girl entered the auto. They lifted the boy inside. The horn tooted. They were gone. And Jim stared foolishly after them. How strong the bonds between husband and wife! She was gone out of his life. He had never dreamed of such a thing. But why had she gone with him, when he was ready to fight for her? Jim did not understand women, their changes, their sense of duty coming in so oddly at critical moments. Like a man in a dream he watched the car shoot down the hill. It was going very fast. The brake was damaged by the rough road, in fact, but Jim did not know that. All he thought was that it was going very fast toward the cutting. And suddenly there came the roar of the train leaving the tunnel. The auto shot forward. It was now evidently beyond control. Jim began to run. But he was much too far away to be of any help. As he ran he saw the dreadful picture: the train racing along the narrow cutting, the auto caught and overturned; the desperate efforts of the occupants to free them selves. . . Then he saw the man stagger to his feet, lift the boy in his arms and toss him to the farther bank. The train was almost upon him, a hissing snorting monster with flaming breath. But he caught up the woman in his arms and flung her clear of the metals; and the next instant the train was upon him, bearing him down, grinding out his life beneath its wheels, tearing the decapitated body along the way and passing onward. Jim was sick with horror when he reached the scene, to find that the woman and the boy still lived. He kneeled before Lella, trying to shield her from the knowledge of what had happened. Then, picking her up, he carried her to the top of the embankment. And the look on her face told him that she knew. So mixed was life, so mixed the qualities for good and evil in all. This man she hated had given his life for her. Some gate in Jim's brain went down at that moment, and he knew that life must be faced very soberly thenceforward—even with her. The Tongue and Typhus According to P. Remlinger, quoted in the Journal of the American Medical Association, an infallible method of telling whether a patient has typhoid (or paratyphoid) or the much more serious typhus, is to ask him to "put out your tongue." The typhoid or paratyphoid patient does it without effort, but if he has typhus he cannot get it beyond his teeth. Not Really an Escape. We often think that, if we had been placed in the same difficulties which we see overwhelm others, we could have got out of them. Just so; we might have squeezed, or wriggled, or crept out of a position from which another who would not stoop could not have escaped. If escape takes the form of a temptation, they do not escape.—Mary Cholmondeley. Their Derivation.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4 1916 Making the Farm House Comfortable in Winter There are several different styles of house-heating plants on the market, the cheapness and convenience of which make it unnecessary for farm houses to be without a heating system which means comfort for the household By J. L. Mowry University of Minnesota Y EARS of progress have developed at least six styles of house-heating installations, aside from the old fashioned first method, the fireplace, where from 80 to 90 per cent of the Another step was made when the stove was moved to the cellar, and a jacket placed around it which opened through the floor to the room above. With the neck of this jacket divided into two or more parts a hot-air fur- Hot-Air Furnace. nace is produced which will heat two or more rooms, one for each pipe. A combination of hot air with either hot water, steam or vapor, known as a combination system, is now often used. A Furnace reheated and returned to the room. When this is done the fresh-air duct may be closed or partly closed. The burning of the air in order to get heat sufficient to warm the rooms, limits the usefulness of this style of heating to small houses, and generally to one floor. To be successful, the furnace must be large and the pipes from 50 to 100 per cent larger than are ordinarily used. All pipes, in cellar and in walls, should be covered with asbestos paper to protect the pipes and to save heat. A damper in every pipe and also in the smoke flue will aid materially in controlling and distributing heat. Chimney flues should be 10 by 10 inches or larger. Hot Water. A hot-water system is only a slight elaboration of the principle. Enlarge the base to inclose the fire, and reduce the size of the tube or pipe between the fire and the rooms to be heated, and make that part of the circuit in the rooms large, to give enough radiating surface. The main body, cast in sections for convenience in handling, is often made quite irregular, in order to expose more surface to the fire. Water is conducted through a large pipe, from which smaller pipes connect with one end of the radiator in each room. The other end of the radiator is connected to a large return pipe, which enters the heater at the grate level. This allows for a more rapid circulation than if a single pipe were used for each radiator. Allowance must be made for the expansion of the water. This is done by placing an open tank in the attic, or in a second-floor room above the top of the highest radiator, and connecting with the system at some convenient point. The system may be filled through this tank if there is no pressure system at hand. This is called the open-tank hot-water system. If the tank were capped tight, and little or no water reached the tank, there would be a quantity of air confined which would be compressed, because the water in the heater, pipes and radiators expands when heated. This is the closed tank or semistream system. The advantage is a higher temperature of the water before the boiling point is reached. The higher temperature will allow of smaller pipes and smaller radiators, and the practice is to install a smaller heater also. The cost of installation will consequently be less. Objections to this system are: The need of safety devices, which may fail, and harder firing, which requires more fuel. Vapor or Vacuum System. The vapor or vacuum system is a comparatively recent development. It is the opposite in principle of the closed-tank hot-water system as the air is exhausted from the pipes and radiators and water stands, in the A Connections of a Hot-Water Furnace With Pipes and Radiators. heater only, as in a steam system. The exhaustion of the air makes it possible to produce steam at a temperature as low as 125 degrees Fahrenheit, which means that a small fire will produce results in a few minutes, because there are only a few gallons of water in the heater. It is virtually a steam system, and requires protective devices as carefully adjusted and attended as a steam system. Furthermore, leaks in the system will de- time till about four o'clock, then it melted. My son and I saw what was in store for our fruit trees. We went out and around and shook them. We tried to prop them up, but our young orchard, that was just coming into bearing, had to go. It kept on snowing all night—mountains, hills, valleys under a blanket of white. The gardens were completely covered. All kinds of berry vines were broken. Our fruit trees are lying in ruins. Others have suffered heavier loss in their orchards than we. Thus far we have never had stroy the vacuum and it will become a steam system pure and simple. Choosing Fuel. For hard coal a deep firebox gives best results. Hard coal burns slowly and requires less air than soft coal or wood, and the deep fire serves as a check on the air. Soft coal and wood burn best in a thin layer over a larger surface, and of course will require more frequent firing. All-round steam and hot-water boilers are made for hard coal. A sectional boiler may be lengthened by adding sections and the size of the firebox be thereby increased. In round hot-water boilers, two styles are offered; one with a flat-top firebox, and one with water arms. The one with the flat top is much more easily cleaned than the one having water arms, and the heating coil is much more easily installed. The latter style is intended to give more heating surface in the firebox, but this feature is more than offset by the advantages mentioned. In placing any of these heaters the clean-out doors should not be backed up against a chimney or partition. Radiators. The radiators are of cast or sheet iron, made up in sections, which may be placed together to give the required amount of radiating surface. The standard size is 38 inches high, three-column, and contains 5 square feet of radiation per section. A four-column 38-inch radiator contains 8 square feet of radiating surface. They sell for 18 to 20 cents a square foot. Each radiator has a valve at one end to cut off the water. In this valve is a pinhole, through which circulation will continue and thus prevent freezing when the radiation is cut off. At the top of each radiator, at one end is an air valve, which must be opened Circulation of Air Produced by a Stove —The Arrows Indicate the Direction of the Air Currents. while filling the system, in order to let the air out, else the water cannot get in. When water flows from the valve it may be closed. This valve should be opened from time to time after filling the system, to let out air that has separated from the water and gathered in the top of the radiator. The small chamber of air will very effectively check the circulation through the radiator and it will not heat. Cost. The cost of a hot-water system for a six-room house will be about $275 or $300. It will cost about two-thirds more than hot air, but hot-air outfits last only from 7 to 9 years, with yearly repairs, while the hot-water system will last from three to six times as long, with no expense or upkeep. The cost of a hot-water system will be about $85 or $00 for radiators, $130 for the heater, and about $65 for installation. Any farmer who is at all handy as a mechanic can do the work, leaving $210 for the plant, compared with $175 for hot air. A hot-air system may give reasonably satisfactory results in small buildings, but for large houses and under most conditions either steam or hot water is unhesitatingly recommended. The higher cost is more than offset, in a few years, by a saving of fuel and better results. Nothing has been said about steam systems. Little need be said. They are like water systems in makeup, except that the expansion tank is closed. There is no water in the radiators, only in the heater. There is no circulation until the water in the boiler is boiling, and there is pressure in the pipes and radiators. This pressure, while not intended to be heavy, may become so if not watched carefully. This is impossible in the average home. In the mill, factory, or large flat building, there is reason for keeping a man on duty constantly, but not so in the home. By the process of elimination, it can safely be claimed that steam is not safe, and hot air is not satisfactory to any degree; while hot water, not perfect because it costs too much, is the best system of the three for heating a home. Combination System. A combination system—a combination of hot water and hot air—is the ideal system. However, instead of using a standard hot-air furnace, with a coil in the firebox for heating the water (similar to that used in a kitchen range), it is much better to place a large radiator or a coil of common pipe in a box in the cellar, which is open to the room above and to the outside air. This system may be installed at an additional cost of $25, and provides a fresh-air supply at all times. It is claimed, and with much reason, that ventilation is not necessary in the average house; that the air in the rooms is changed often a failure, and I have faith to believe that everything will come all right."—Christian Herald.

It is true that, with an average winter wind blowing at ten miles per hour, the air in the rooms will change about every half hour. This is certainly all that is required for the average family. This rate of change can be increased 50 per cent by opening a door to the sec 13 Hot-Water System. ond floor. In order to operate this ventilation scheme in mild or still weather, it will be found necessary to have a return air duct. A fireplace is an ideal foul-air escape. Such an escape will add from $12 to $20 to the cost of a chimney, for it must have an independent flue. Three flash-light pictures were taken in adjoining rooms, one 12 by 12 feet and the other 12 by 23 feet. The rooms were almost filled with smoke. The outside temperature was a little below zero, so a door could not be left open very long. Six pounds of newspapers were burned in the fireplace to create a draft. In half an hour the smoke was cleared from the rooms, and one door had been open for about five minutes. There was no perceptible change in temperature. Fireplace. In a section where wood is plentiful, the comfort and satisfaction of an open fire should not be overlooked. In early spring and late fall a few sticks of wood on a grate fire will afford more cheer than double the amount in a heater. If provided for at the time of building the expense need not exceed $60. This will provide facing, mantle, hearth, damper and ash traps, together with the added flue in the chimney. The flue should be large. A flue 8 by 8 inches is usually too small. A fireplace should be at least 36 inches wide, 28 inches high, and 10 inches deep, or as near these dimensions as the commercial facing and lining materials will make. Colored brick with a rough face, make a most satisfactory facing, and may be placed at the time the chimney is built. The lining should, of course, be of firebrick. A hearth is easily built, using a smooth hard brick or tile. The essentials of a satisfactory fireplace are: (1) a large flue; (2) a smooth throat set well to the front; (3) a thin lip. A smoking fireplace can usually be remedied by adding a thin lip-member. Firing. Economical stoking is an art. Hard coal is popular because the average person does not care to fire every half hour. However, a little admixture of brains with the coal will pay, even with hard coal. In general, add as small an amount of coal as possible at each firing, and fire often. Do not entirely cover the bed of live coal, but leave a small hole, where sufficient MANTLE CORBLE FACE LIP DAMPED THRUAT DINING FISH TREAD MEARTH The Essentials of a Fireplace. heat can get through to fire the gases as they distill off from the new coal, otherwise they are lost up the chimney. These gases burn clear and hot, and form a large part of the coal. Keep the grates clean and clear of clinkers. Use a slice-bar, and prevent a tendency to cake at the bottom of the fire. Three instances of firing came to notice recently, in houses of nearly the same size. The cost in one case was $47; in another, $30; and in the third, $16. All the houses were warm and comfortable at all times. In one the coal was fired, in the other two it was dumped in. GATHERED FACTS The railroads of the United States consumed 128,200,000 tons of coal last year, or 24 per cent of the total production. Tles made of a native hardwood have been used on the Panama rail road without renewal for more than 50 years. There are estimated to be more than 200,000,000,000 board feet of merchantable lumber standing in the 60,000 square miles of public forests in the Philippines. HOME TOWN HELPS BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME PLACE It Doesn't Cost Much But Adds Great Deal to Value of Property Some Shade-Tree Advice. Beautifying the home place is one of the pleasures and duties of every home lover. Homes that do not reflect in some way the better natures of their owners are not what they should be. Home is the place where we spend the most important part of our lives. Homes that are not comforting to the tired home-maker have lost all their charm and usefulness. Homes should be made beautiful to the eyes as well as comforting to the body and nerves. If you will look about you the homes that are the best in appearance are homes that harbor gentle people. Homes that are allowed to run to ruin are owned by people who are careless and often shiftless in their personal habits. It is not hard to beautify your home. It does not require a lot of money or valuable labor. "I remember seeing a little dooryard in St. Louis once in which a few seeds had been planted," says a writer in Farmers' Guide. "Possibly the place was not more than ten feet square, but there was such an abundance of flowers and grass on that little dooryard that it gladed thousands of passers-by every day. That little place was tended by a crippled girl. And it reflected more than anything else the spirit of generosity and gentleness which was her predominating characteristic. Money alone will never make a home beautiful." Many farmers plant fruit trees about the house, but shade trees would be better for the front yard. A shade tree to be satisfactory must be tall, thick and cover a large space. Unless it is pruned high the grass will not grow well under it. The most satisfactory fruit tree is almost opposite this in general characteristics. It must be headed low in order to have the fruit within reach at harvest time. If it grows tall and thick there will be very little fruit and it will be of poor quality. An open top or crown is necessary for the production of good fruit, and with this condition the shade is not good. HOW TO PLACE BAY WINDOW This Dwelling Ornament Must Be Put Properly or It Will Mar Looks of Your Residence. Bay windows may add greatly to the attractiveness of a house, or they may greatly mar it. They should be judiciously used and carefully proportioned. An attractively detailed bay becomes an important feature in the exterior design; therefore the interior aspect should not be the sole consideration. Too often are otherwise well-designed houses marred by bays so placed as to have a detached appearance. A bay, to be right, must seem to have grown to the side of the house. Single-story bays are more easily handled than are those of two stories, and may be either square or three-sided. If extending to the sill line only, they require no foundation, which is quite an item in the expense, and for small houses they are extremely attractive. The two-story bay requires skillful handling; otherwise it becomes an appendage most inharmonious. It should correspond to the exterior finish of the houses. A successful treatment for bays of this description is to extend the main roof out over the bay. A clever architect can often accomplish a pleasing interior treatment by grouping windows at the corner of a room, thus giving to the room the effect of a bay, yet interfering in no way with the exterior design. Are You a Croaker? A croaker sat on the grumbler's bench and croaked that the town was dead and ne'er did once he lift his hand to push his town ahead. He cursed and swore with all his might—such a town he ne'er did see—the times were dull, the stores were bum, as bum as bum could be. And so he sat from early morn, each bright and happy day, and croaked and croaked with all his might till the summer passed away. And then one night while the wind blew cold, when the winter time had come, he croaked his last and closed his eyes upon his earthly home. But when he reached the other shore—the city bright and fair, it was no good, 'twas dull and dead, he ne'er would enter there! And since there was no other place, to the croaker's fate he went, unmourned by man, unwept, unsung—none cared a bloomin' cent—Anon. Fire Hydrants Protected. An ordinance passed by the authorities of San Bernardino, Cal., specifies that no vehicle shall be allowed to stand within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. That innocent persons may not disregard the restriction unwittingly, the fire chief has had both the hydrant and the adjoining curb painted red. On this red strip indicating the forbidden area appear the words, "Keep Away" in large white letters. Shame on You. Almee.

What is the duty of every American citizen in this psychological moment? What is the paramount duty of The Negro citizen of this Republic in this hour of trial? Clearly it is the psychological moment in the history of this Nation when it behooves every American citizen to think wisely and do his best for his country, for himself and his. It is the plain duty of the Negro citizens all over this Republic to review the history—all of it—of the two Great Parties of this Republic and to stay with the "Ship"—The Republican Party—for all else has proven "The Sea." Speaking generally and referring to all citizens, we are facing a crisis such as has not confronted this Nation since the days of The Immortal Lincoln, and now that the sea is tempestous, we need a pilot that is wise, courageous, brave, fearless and a man big and broad enough to keep the door of hope ajar to all classes of American citizens and who does not believe in some men up and some men down, but rather believes in the principle of all men up and no man down. In your review of the history of the Two Great Parties of this Nation, note carefully that only one Great Party has advocated the principle of all men up and no man down, and that has been and is the Republican Party. But these are general matters; let me speak to Negro voters specifically. The present National Party seeks by National Legislation to repeal the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to The Federal Constitution, put there by The Republican Party. (House Joint Resolution 32, 33, 40, 107.) Here is a National Party that seeks by Congressional Legislation to segregate clerks and employees of The Races—of all Races from the Negro Race—and make a distinction and discrimination on account of Race and Color—in the affairs of the National Government in the face of The Constitution to the contrary. (House Resolution 13772, February 23, 1913; House Resolution 5968, June 10, 1913; House Resolution 11, December 6, 1915; House Resolution 539, December 6, 1915; House Resolution 5797, December 15, 1915.) Here is The President of this Union and his Party that pardoned Beall and Guinn of Oklahoma who had conspired and did prevent Negroes from voting and were convicted by a jury of their peers who now seek by National Legislation to repeal Section 509 of The Revised Statutes (Now Section 19 of The Penal Code), which punishes as crime conspiracy of two or more persons to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or Laws of the United States. (House Resolution 13853). Why repeal that wise, safe, sound and fundamental provision of our Revised Statutes? I cannot see any good American citizen in all this Republic so blind that he cannot see or so prejudiced that he will not see the unjust attempt and UNAMERICAN purpose of that thrust at the liberties of men? One of the wisest provisions of the Fathers of this Governmental fabric—The Great Republican Party—was to make sacred and keep inviolate the purity of the ballot box that all men might cast each his vote unmolested and untrammeled as his own judgment and conscience dictated. Take that right away from men and you invite revolution. God grant that our eyes not the eyes of our posterity may never again behold either internal wars nor external wars—unless in the latter case it becomes entirely necessary to preserve inviolate our National integrity and uphold the flag of this Republic. National Democratic Party, Disfranchising Is Thy Name, Discrimination Is Thy Precepts, and all of thy local children have learned their lessons well. This same National Party offers to forbid the appointment of any Negro Soldier as a commissioned officer, either in the Army or The Navy. No body barred but the Negro. (House Resolution 12840, March 7th, 1916.) And then to make the above legislation wholly unnecessary in This same National Administration makes it one stronger and introduces a bill to prevent the enlistment of Negroes in The Military Service of The United States. (House Resolution 17183, introduced by Mr. Caraway, July 27, 1916). SHADES OF LINCOLN, what will they offer next? Bunker Hill forgotten, New Orleans ignored, El Caney and San Juan Heights thrown to the wind. The Peace(?) around Carrizal, in Mexico, where the blood of our boys as well as Officer Boyd is still crying from the ground for the higher wisdom in statecraft, this, too, is all forgotten. Not content, this Disfranchising and Discriminating party now in power goes further: To require all transportation companies, firms and persons in the District of Columbia to provide separate accommodations for the White and Negro Races, and to prescribe punishment and penalties for violating its provisions. (H. R. 12, December 6, 1915). It looks as if the Party has been running a race to see how little it could make us as a Race and could make the Nation small and insignificant in the eyes of the world, for it cannot mistreat the humblest citizen of the Nation without shaking to its very base the foundation of the entire Fabric. And now the Greeks come bearing gifts in the face of this record. They bring us a wooden horse in the shape of janitor ships; a wooden horse in the shape of Principalships of State Schools—a wooden horse in the shape of a few paltry dollars that will not last through this winter. God forbid that any American citizen should sell his birthright and especially any Negro citizen of this Republic. If it makes no difference to you, remember your children and their children, and if it develops that you are not concerned about your posterity, then remember that you owe a debt to my posterity. Shall we no longer have the right of Franchise? Shall we be soldiers no more? Are we not at least entitled to the rights of the Constitution—if reduced to that—as is the Italian, the Indian, the Pole, the Turk, etc., who will not even take out Naturalization papers, and even if he does take out his Naturalization papers? What will the men—real men—of big hearts and say on the 7th day of November in answer to these questions? You will not speak to us audibly—and I am neither asking or expecting it, but on the 7th of November, 1916, when there is nobody in the booth but you and your Maker put your stamp of disap proval upon all unjust legislation whether it be a Negro, a Corporation or whatever it may be that the men and persons of this Republic may enjoy such rights as are vouchsafed to them by the Constitution of the same Other National questions I have left untouched in this communication, but would make this observation, namely: All that glitters is not gold and a casual study of most of the National policies of the Party now in power will disclose the fact that while there is much glittering, there is precious little gold. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter—Give us Charles Evans Hughes for President of the United States and a Republican Congress and the Ship of State is safe. 201-3 Baum Building, Oklahoma City, Okla. I hereby, herein and now add my unqualified endorsement to every word of the above address. We want Negro men of Judge Harrison's brain, courage and manhood all over this country, and especially in Kansas City and Missouri. I take the position that any Negro who votes the Democratic ticket in times like these is a fool or traitor, and take the further position that the Negro Race as a Race and as individuals should boycott every Negro who either advocates or votes the Democratic ticket. If any man will take the time to read the above and will then consent to vote and vote the Democratic ticket, November 7th, 1916, undoubtedly and unquestionably he is either a fool or dishonest and corrupt at heart. As earnestly as I have ever tried to save the souls of men, I am now earnestly pleading, petitioning and soliciting all right thinking, patriotic, Race loving, liberty loving Negro men and women to stand by me and within a united and concerted effort to drive the Democratic traitors out of business. I mean, let us withdraw our patronage and starve them out. Yours for the whole Federal Constitution and all of its Amendments and for our Federal Revised Statutes and for the success of Judge Charles Evans Hughes and the entire Republican ticket. J. W.

THE HOPKINS STORE The story of my growth in retail-merchandising is not one of those romantic stories such as the finding of rich mineral and oil fields and the enriching of poor men over night, for I have been serving the public long years right in this one spot. The story begins when I first realized that the proper location of a successful business among my people is that place where most of the home-owning, steady and reliable people live. Vine street naturally appealed to me as the main thoroughfare of that class of customers whom I seek to serve.

I soon afterwards took up the study of tailoring and have since learned to do certain parts of work on suits in my own show, in exactly the same manner as the larger firms downtown. The addition of tailoring to my business brought me many new customers, some of whom have suits made regularly twice a year, observing that a neat, well-made, tailor-to-fit garment feels better, wears longer and looks "just a little bit different" to the other fellow's clothes.
