Bradley, a White Minister of Atlanta, Ga.==Views on Race Fraternity. The Negro in the South has never had a fair chance, socially, politically or commercially" said Rev. H. S. Bradly, in his sermon at Trinity church yesterday morning. The speaker, in concluding a sermon on a passage from the epistle to the Ephesians, stating that he wished to point out briefly a few dangers that menace the church of today. Among these dangers he named social caste." Sometimes I am lacking in courage to live up to my highest thought," he said. "but I want to indorse what I heard a sistinguished, learned and broadminded minister once say at a conference of clergimen. "That man said: 'If I could I would like to see every Negro in the land raised to my own level.' He was interrupted by one of his auditors, who asked if he would really want to be on an equal with the Negroes. Another man present said: Don't storp to answer such an interruption as that; go on with your great speech.' And it was a great speech, and I want to here and now indorse it. "This social caste that has grown up among us had led many of us to believe that somehow because we happened, without any choice or any merit of our own, to be born with a white skin the Lord loves us a better and thinks a little more of us than he does anybody with darker skins.

But I want to say to you that * * * * the man who does not admit and live up to the fraternity of the Negro—Yes, the fraternity, that is the word—whatever else he may be is not a christian. "I am not afraid of race equality, and I tell you my opinion of the man who is. It is this: that his social status must be very insecure that he should be so infinately solicious about safeguarding it." Dr. Bradley also referred in strong terms to the Watkinsville lynching, denouncing the perpetrators of the killings and the officials in whose custody the slain prisoners had been, before the mob got them. "Another of our dangers is too much democrocy," said the speaker. "It tends in some instances to make us think that there is no higher law than our own will, and no higher officers than our own selves. We had a striking illustration of that in Oeorgia last week, and we have had many in recent years. "There were more lynchings in the state of Georgia last year than there were in the British Isles for the last five years. Statistics prove that. "The men who committed that outrage at Watkinsville were white livered cowards. They stole in, masked at night, to do thaf which no one of them would have dared to do unmasked and in the fair light of day. They were not content to wait until universal man spoke in the word called law. They sneaked in like cowards that they were and smirched the fair name of the state.

This means if it is fed warm and while still sweet. One dairyman says that it is worth 25 per cent more than cold milk if it is fed while the animal heat is still in it. The great trouble in feeding skimmilk is to feed a small enough amount, as a large amount causes digestive troubles with the calves, which troubles are accentuated when the milk is fed after it has begun to sour. Sometimes a farmer will lose a number of calves with scours before he learns that it is not the separated skimmilk that has made the trouble, but the overfeeding of the milk. Overfeeding of any food will result in trouble, but on some feeds cows and calves find it impossible to overfeed. One of these is hay. Milk in any form may be used in too great an abundance. The calf owner usually figures that the cream having been taken out of the milk it is therefore very poor stuff, and he therefore tries to double up on the amount. This is the first and great error. The milk in being skimmed has not been deprived if very much of its nutriment, and the amount given should certainly not be increased. If anything, it should be decreased in quantity, as it is not as digestible with the butter fat taken out as it was with the butter fat in. Oilmeal is sometimes added in very small quantities to take the place of the cream, but it is not a certainty established that this oil takes the place of the natural butter fat in aiding the digestive processes. Profit in Protein. Protein is the most expensive element of food we can use for dairy cows, and for this reason there is a strong tendency to feed very little protein and a good deal of the starchy matter. But it is quite conclusively proved that if the protein is properly compounded with the other elements of the food it will render the whole ration cheaper than if the protein had not been used. This is because in the usual ration, out of proportion as it is, the waste of the fat-forming materials is great. At the Storrs Experiment Station recently tests have been made to see if a ration could be increased in protein and decreased in cost. This was proved to be possible. The protein was increased, and enough fat-forming material taken off to more than equal the value of the protein put in. The result was a slight increase in the milk production at a slightly lessened cost. The principle is an important one, and it is one to which the Farmers' Review has frequently called attention. Every keeper of cows can well afford to get down to the study of the components of feeds, by which he will be able to save money on his feeds, while not decreasing the production of milk from his herd. The animals, too, are left in better condition than they would be if fed what is known as a 'wide' ration. Buy a Thermometer. Every butter-maker needs a thermometer. The butter-maker in a creamery would not think of trying to do business without a thermometer. The butter-maker on the farm can well afford to have several thermometers, as several may be purchased for a dollar. The insertion of a thermometer in the cream will often show why the butter does not come. It will make it possible to churn at a temperature that will make the butter gather in twenty minutes or so. It will also make it possible to know when the temperature is low enough to permit of the making of a good butter. PILES·NO MONEY TILL CURED·SEND FOR FREE ILLUS. TREATISE OR BECAL DURES.

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water starches are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. Some girls grow up and become happy wives and mothers, and some become lady novelists. 15 YEARS OF TORTURE.

Why do we lead all the nations of the earth in prosperity, happiness and individual contentment? Why are we, as a people, regarded as an invincible power of impregnable strength? And why do we compel the admiration of the whole world-at times grudgingly given, but given, anyhow? It is because we are free and independent in the truest meaning of the words. We think for ourselves, act for ourselves, govern ourselves more than the people of any other nation. We are absolutely self-reliant, a national trait that renders us independent of all other nations. Independence is the keynote of our supremacy. And this is the reason why up-to-date grocers and storekeepers appreciate the fact that Americans of both sexes have strong wills of their own, and do not need interested advice. Every up-to-date grocer knows perfectly well that for more than a quarter of a century Lion Coffee has been the leading package coffee and a welcome drink at the tables of millions of American homes. He knows—and everybody else knows—that it has always kept its old friends and steadily made new ones. Good, reliable, trustworthy grocers willingly acknowledge this, and all independent housekeepers will insist upon having Lion Coffee and no other, no matter what kind of an argument grocers of obstinate principles may advance. Americans want the best, and they get the best and purest in Lion Coffee. Probably more men would drink soda water if it weren't for the name of the stuff. Don't you know that Defiance Starch besides being absolutely superior to any other, is put up 16 ounces in package and sells at same price as 12-ounce packages of other kinds?

Grow to Twice Actual Weight of Those Exposed to Sunlight Only Latest Victory for This New and Beautiful Illuminant. The experiments recently made at Cornell University prove that the beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene, are as effective as sunlight on the growth of plants, and this may soon become a subject for serious consideration by all progressive cultivators of the soil. The results of the experiments are astonishing, inasmuch as they show conclusively the great increase of growth attained by supplementing "The Light of Nature" with "The Light of Acetylene" during the hours in which the plants would otherwise be in darkness. For instance, a certain number of radish plants subjected to acetylene light during the night, grew to twice the actual weight of the same number of radishes given daylight only, all other conditions being equal, and peas had blossomed and partially matured pods with the help of acetylene light, while without the added light not even buds were apparent. Acetylene is already taking its place as an illuminant for towns from a central plant, for lighting houses, churches, schools and isolated buildings of all kinds, and it is being used successfully for many other purposes. A striking and important feature of acetylene is the ease and small expense with which it can be made available compared with the great advantages derived from its use. The machine in which the gas is generated is easily installed. Tom Reed's Collar Among the prominent men of New England there was none perhaps who wore a larger collar than Tom Reed. One hot day in the summer of 1901 Reed was in Portsmouth, and, having to wait over for a train, he decided to make an impromptu toilet, changing his collar, etc. So he hied himself to the nearest haberdasher's and began a general survey of the collars displayed in the store. "Waited on, sir?" queried one of the clerks. "Not yet," responded Reed, and then added: "I would like a collar." "What size?" piped the clerk. "Size 20," answered Reed. "We don't keep collars so large, but I think you may be accommodated at the store just around the corner." Reed found the store around the corner to be a harness shop. Household Fire Extinguisher. The nervous housewife who lives in constant dread of fire, may with very little trouble make an extinguisher that will put out a blaze if used at once. All she needs to do is to put 3 pounds of salt in a gallon of water, and to this add $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ pounds of sal ammoniac. This liquid should be bottled and when the fire is discovered it should be poured on it. New Cattle Killing Device. Butchers at Putney, England, have a new device for killing cattle, which is like an ordinary single-barrel pistol or large caliber, but instead of discharging a shot, it drives out with great force a bolt, which has occupied the full length of the pistol barrel, and this, entering the skull of an animal, produces instantaneous stupefaction, without lodging a shot in the brainpan to lessen the sale value of the head. A girl will never believe people can think she understands base ball unless when she goes to a game she says a lot of things that proves she doesn't. A woman thinks she is leading an ideal life when she sits down to write aine letters or to wash her hair. Muskogee Cimeter. Muskogee Cimeter. W. H. TWINE, Editor. MUSKOGEE, IND. TER NEW STATE NEWS. The Roger Mills county fair will be held at Berlin September 27th, 28th and 29th. Clarence Mackey, living at Clarksville, Missouri, committed suicide at Marlow. The means used was carbolic acid. Two cornerstones for churches were laid in Lawton in a single day last week. The Baptist and Presbyterian denominations both began the work of church building. The board of regents of the Tonkawa Preparatory school has let the contract for the construction of the new school building. The price is $55,922. The building will be three stories high, of pressed brick and must be finished by May 15, 1906. Labor unions of Shawnee are endeavoring to build a labor temple, which they hope to make headquarters for all the labor organizations of the two territories. One hundred and five teachers enrolled the first day of the Comanche county teachers' institute. The plans for the negro girls' dormitory building at Langston have been accepted by the board of regents of that college. The building will cost $13,000, and will accommodate 400 pupils. Dr. L. D. Brown, territorial veterinarian, recently condemned four horses in Greer county, which were afflicted with glanders. James Rogers, a pioneer of Woodward county, fell through an opening in a hay loft and was kicked to death by horses. The authorities at Oklahoma City closed three more gambling places last week, and seized the implements used by the human leaches who manipulated the games. The county attorney appears to be in earnest to rid the town of gambling. Herbert Cronkhite, aged fourteen years, died last week at Hitchcock of lackjaw, caused by a cap explosion on July 4th. Part of his hand and one finger was torn away by the accident, and his suffering was intense. Warren Bennett, deputy United States marshal and chief of the Osage Indian police, died at his home in Pawhuska last week from hemorrhage of the lungs. Mr. Bennett had been a deputy marshal for seven years. Lyon Moore, the five-year-old son of G. C. Moore at Mangum, was killed last week by being kicked by a horse. Regular steamer service has been established on the Arkansas river between Muskogee and Fort Smith. South McAlester will soon have a census taken for school purposes. A school bond election is to be held at Tonkawa. Teachers' institutes opened in seventeen different counties in Oklahoma last week. Most, if not all of them, will continue for four weeks, during which time the territorial superintendent expects to visit each separate institute. Small Boy's Mixed History. Around the great striking figures of history the small boy weaves curious answers. "Moses's mother pitched his little cradle within and without with pitch and left him there in the pool of Siloam. But when the daughter of Solomon got the green leaf from the dove she hastened and brought food convenient for him, and the babe crowed thrice and grew up in her court.—Century Magazine. The Coalgate commercial club was organized recently. She Was Revenged "The fad of tracing one's ancestors back as far as possible has a firmer hold in the east than in the west," said Mortimer E. Walker of Boston at the Republican house. "One winter I spent some time in a certain southeastern city which is noted for its blue blood and exclusive inhabitants. There was much jealousy in the highest social circles, as there were two factions which desired the honors of being the original grandees. Finally the leader of one faction gathered together a few friends and started a society known as the Daughters of Ferdinand de Soto. "This was supposed to be the ultra flashycourable society of the city, and one by one the aspiring matrons produced the indisputable proof that they were eligible for membership. Finally one of the younger set had the temerity to try and force an entrance into the charmed circle. She was properly rebuked and blackballed almost unanimously. "She determined to be revenged, and to that end did a little real investigating, which was more thorough than any ancestor hunt which was ever made in that city. The result of her investigations she made public, and the outcome was the utter rout of the daughters. For the young woman proved beyond the question of a doubt that Ferdinand de Soto had died a bachelor."—Milwaukee Sentinel. CHANGED HUSBAND. Wife Made Wise Change in Food. Change of diet is the only way to really cure stomach and bowel trouble. A woman says: "My husband had dyspepsia when we were married and had suffered from it for several years. It was almost impossible to find anything he could eat without bad results. "I thought this was largely due to the use of coffee and persuaded him to discontinue it. He did so, and began to drink Postum Food Coffee. The change did him good from the beginning, his digestion improved; he suffered much less from his nervousness, and when he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet he was soon entirely cured. "My friend, Mrs. — ——, of Vicksburg (my former home) had become a nervous wreck also from dyspepsia. Medicines had no effect, neither did travel help her. On my last visit home, some months ago, I persuaded her to use Grape-Nuts food. She was in despair, and consented. She stuck to it until it restored her health so completely that she is now the most enthusiastic friend of Grape-Nuts that I ever knew. She eats it with cream or dry, just as it comes from the package—keeps it in her room and eats it whenever she feels like it. "I began eating Grape-Nuts food, myself, when my baby was two months old, and I don't know what I should have done without it. My appetite was gone, I was weak and nervous and afforded but very little nourishment for the child. The Grape-Nuts food, of which I soon grew very fond, speedily set all this right again, and the baby grew healthful, rosy and beautiful as a mother could wish. He is two years old now and eats Grape-Nuts food himself. I wish every tired young mother knew of the good that Grape-Nuts would do her." Names given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason NAMES BEST DOCTOR MR. BAYSSON PUBLISHES RESULTS OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE. A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from Miseries of Indigestion. Thousands of sufferers know that the reason why they are irritable and depressed and nervous and sleepless is because their food does not digest, but how to get rid of the difficulty is the puzzling question. Good digestion calls for strong digestive organs, and strength comes from a supply of good rich blood. For this reason Mr. Baysson took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion. "They have been my best doctor," he says. "I was suffering from dyspepsia. The pains in my stomach after meals were almost unbearable. My sleep was very irregular and my complexion was sallow. As the result of using eight boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, about the merits of which I learned from friends in France, I have escaped all these troubles, and am able again to take pleasure in eating." A very simple story, but if it had not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills it might have been a tragic one. When discomfort begins with eating, fills up the intervals between meals with pain, and prevents sleep at night, there certainly cannot be much pleasure in living. A final general breaking down must be merely a question of time. Mr. Joseph Baysson is a native of Aix-les-Bains, France, but now resides at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco, Cal. He is one of a great number who can testify to the remarkable efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the treatment of obstinate disorders of the stomach. If you would get rid of nausea, pain or burning in the stomach, vertigo, nervousness, insomnia, or any of the other miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the weakness of the digestive organs by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are sold by druggists everywhere. Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in forwarding recovery once begun, and a little book, "What to Eat and How to Eat," may be obtained by any one who makes a request for it by writing to the Dr. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady, N.Y. This valuable diet book contains an important chapter on the simplest means for the cure of constipation. No woman who is true to her sex is afraid of the man she is married to.

AN OLD MAN'S TRIBUTE. An Ohio Fruit Raiser, 78 Years Old, Cured of a Terrible Case after Ten Years of Suffering. Sidney Justus, fruit dealer, of Men- t dealer, of Mentor, Ohio, says: "I was cured by Doan's Kidney Pills of a severe case of kidney trouble, of eight or ten years' standing. I suffered the most severe backache and other pains in the region of the kidneys. SIDNEY JUSTUS These were especially severe when stooping to lift anything and often I could hardly straighten my back. The aching was bad in the day time, but just as bad at night, and I was always lame in the morning. I was bothered with rheumatic pains and dropsical swelling of the feet. The urinary passages were painful and the secretions were discolored and so free that often I had to rise at night. I felt tired all day. Half a box served to relieve me, and three boxes effected a permanent cure." Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. JET BLACK ROSES GROWN Color Said to be Caused by Chemical in Soil Florists are greatly interested in Florists are greatly interested in the announcement that an Englishman has discovered how to grow jet black roses, a feat which has been vainly attempted for many years. If a dozen of them could be offered for sale today in this city the leading florists agree there would be no difficulty in obtaining $1,200 for the bunch. No secret has been more closely guarded by German gardeners than that of developing even a comparatively black rose. Visitors are allowed to look at the bushes and buds on special occasions, but what ingredient has been put into this soil to bring about this abnormal, color has not been told even to close friends. It is said by florists here that undoubtedly the color is the result of some chemical introduced into the soil, but what it is may not be known generally for years, if at all. The same principle, however, is supposed to be involved as in the development of blue hydranges, which are produced by putting them into the soil in which the plants are grown.—San Francisco Call. Especially for Women. Champion, Mich., July 24th.—(Special)—A case of especial interest to women is that of Mrs. A. Wellett, wife of a well known photographer here. It is best given in her own words. "I could not sleep, my feet were cold and my limbs cramped," Mrs. Wellett states. "I had an awful hard pain across my kidnays. I had to get up three or four times in the night. I was very nervous and fearfully despondent. "I had been troubled in this way for five years when I commenced to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and what they caused to come from my kidneys will hardly stand description. "By the time I had finished one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills I was cured. Now I can sleep well, my limbs do not cramp, I do not get up in the night and I feel better than I have in years. I owe my health to Dodd's Kidney Pills." Women's ills are caused by Diseased Kidneys; that's why Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure them. Mrs. Chugwater—Josiah, who is this John Doe I see mentioned in the papers sometimes? Mr. Chugwater—That's short for John D. Rockefeller. His middle name is Dough.

The whole house was in a bustle, for the daughter was to sail at noon, and certain things must be had from the shops before that time, while there was no one who could be spared to make the necessary purchases. For that reason the Poor Relation found an unexpected welcome when sne pat in an appearance to join the body of escort, and was hustled off down town with instructions to bring the purchases direct to the pier, since there was so little time left. The first and second bells had rung their warning, and the agent stood by, watch in hand, to order the gangway removed, when the Poor Relation came flying down the long pier with a very red face. Before her she bore sundry packages, and heedful of the fact that the stevedores were already tugging at the tackle, she sped up the gangplank before any one could stop her and thrust the bundles into the waiting arms. There was an audible kiss, and the Poor Relation staggered down the now swaying plank to be received by those on the dock. "I could not come any quicker," she panted when breath came again. "You were all dressed up, and I just simply had to go home first and put on my best things." She had gone to the shopping district by way of Harlem.—New York Press. Not Exactly What Lawyers Wanted. "The young fellow told the attorney that he was innocent, but that he had no friends in the city and no money. His mother, however, was in fair circumstances and he knew that she would help him. What he wanted the lawyer to do was to defend him and also send a telegram to his mother telling of his fix and asking aid. The lawyer agreed to this and made such a good defense that the young man was acquitted. "He and the attorney went direct to the telegraph office to which the message had been ordered sent and found it. The young man was so grateful to the laywer that he handed him the unopened envelope, telling him that he must take all the money that his mother had telegraphed him. The lawyer tore open the yellow cover and his eyes were greeted with these words: 'Put your trust in God. I am praying for you. Mother.'"New Orleans Times-Democrat. Sunned Strawberries. "Sunning strawberries is probably as old as the hills as a process of preserving that fruit, but there are only a very few persons in this city or in any other city who know how the thing is done," said a West Philadelphia housewife. "The berries are selected when they are rich, red and juicy. They are stemmed, put on flat pans on the tin roof, and covered with pulverized sugar. The pans in which the strawberries swim are covered with a soft white gauze; the sun does the rest. There are only about half a dozen housekeepers in Philadelphia who know the exact process, and they guard the secret as jealously as if it were the secret of a gold mine. No amount of persuasion will get these mysterious housekeepers to disclose the least proportions, but the houses where the preserved fruit is served are always popular, as there is nothing more delicious than sunned strawberries."—Philadelphia Record. Carnegie Professor of Physics. Prof. W. E. Gibbs of Fanwood, N. J., has been appointed professor of physics in the Carnegie Technical schools at Pittsburg. He is known throughout the eastern cities for his broad knowledge of physics, which he has applied to a great variety of practical operations. the soft gray substance in brain and nerves that give the go, the vigor, the life, will understand why theimitators who try to copy the announcements about Grape-Nuts have failed in the past. There's a reason for Grape-Nuts and a profound one. The late Mary A. Livermore liked to tell a story of a young friend of hers in Melrose, for she believed in this story lay a lesson for husbands. Mrs. Livermore's friend was passing a month alone, her mate having been summoned to Europe on a business matter. "And you are very lonely without your husband now?" the elder said to the younger woman one morning. "A little lonely," was the qualified answer. "But surely," said Mrs. Livermore, "you miss your husband very much, now he is away?" The other laughed rather bitterly. "Oh, no," she said. "At breakfast I just stand his newspaper up in front of his plate, and half the time I for get he isn't there."

When it comes to food, demand to know the facts about what goes into your stomach. Not only that it is pure, but that you are not deceived in the description of its contents and condition. Some flaked breakfast foods that have thus far failed are now being advertised in close imitation of the Grape-Nuts advertising, thinking in that way to finally make a success of the failure. But false statements of the merits of human food will never on earth build up a business. These flaked foods are not pre-digested. They are not fully cooked and the starch in them is starch still, and has not been turned to sugar as claimed. Chemical analysis tells the truth and the analysis of the famous chemists of the world show Grape-Nuts the only prepared breakfast food in which the starch part of the wheat and barley has been transformed into sugar and therefore ready for immediate digestion. Why is this true? All the thin rolled flake foods are made by soaking the grains of wheat or oats in water, then rolling, drying and packing. These operations do not cook or pre-digest the starch. Contrasted with this pretense, observe the care, method and skill in making Grape-Nuts. The barley is soaked about one hundred hours, then it is slowly warmed for some days and sprouted, the diastase being developed and part of the starch turned to sugar (and later on all of it), then the grains are baked and the sprouts stripped off. Then comes grinding, sifting and mixing with the creamy colored flour made from white and maccaroni wheat. This mixture must be skillfully made in right proportions. This blended flour contains just the ingredients demanded by nature to rebuild the soft gray substance in the nerve centers and brain, but how to make the food easy to digest, that was the question. It certainly would not do to mix in drugs, for there is a certain failure sure to come to the person depending on drugs to digest food. They may do for a temporary expedient, but pure food and digestible food is the only final resort and safe way. So to change the remaining starch part and prepare the other elements in this blended flour it is made up into massive loaves like bread, the inside being dark cream color and quite sticky to the touch. These loaves are sliced and again go through long cooking at certain temperatures. Then the rock hard slices are each one carefully inspected and ground ready for packing and use, having gone through 10 or 12 hours in the different operations. When finished, each little granule will show a sparkling substance on its surface. A magnifying glass will bring it out clearer and develop little pieces of pure dextrose sugar, not put on "or poured over" (as the head of a large Sanitarium once stated in his paper, thus exposing his appalling ignorance of food processes), but this sugar exudes from the interior of each as the starch is slowly turned to sugar in the process of manufacture. This kind of sugar is exactly like what is found in the human intestines, provided the starch of the grains, potatoes, bread, rice, cake, etc., etc., has been perfectly digested. But many are weak in that form of digestion, and yet need the starches, so Grape-Nuts supplies them pre-digested and ready to go quickly into the blood. Visitors are shown freely through the works and can follow the steps of making Grape-Nuts from the grain to the finished product. The proportions of different kinds of flour, and the temperatures are not disclosed and it seems impossible for others to steal these secrets of the makers. But purity, cleanliness and skill are shown in every corner of the immense pure food factories.
