Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Muskogee, I.T., Thursday, September, 13 1906. YOUMUSTREGISTER Vol 7 Its dollars to doughnuts that that the precincts made in the 75th District will be made so that the SILK STOCKINGS will be alone to themselves and the the LILY WHITES will return to the fold and expect the FAT CALF and the old COW to be butchered in their honor. ```markdown ``` When one of the Old Guard republicans like Dr. Leo E. Bennett lines up with the lily whites you may be pretty sure there is adequate cause for his conduct. The genial "wizzard of Muskogee" is one of the ablest diplomats in the new state, and always measures his ground well before taking an important step Henrietta FreeLance. We never knew Dr. Bennett was with the lily white gang before this but we presume the Lance man speaks from personal knowledge. Surely White and Davis have fooled the astute Dr. and he has got in the wrong camp. The democratic campaign committee have sent out a cartoon to the papers of their faith, which shows a white woman with a baby sitting in a car beside a Negro who is blowing smoke in her face. This is the rottenest kind of rot, and anyone who circulates it hasn't got as much brains as a 5-cent watermelon. Okmulgee Chieftan. The Democrat Committee could do better that if they would get up a picture of the Democrat leaders in Muskogee (the men) taking supper with a lot of their Negro cohorts and this would be the truth. The other picture is of course a lie made for campaign purposes. The Negroes of the New State are in favor of seperate schools and the rebel Democrats will have to hunt another issue as down in the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nation they have been using the lie until its stale that the Republican are trying to force mixed schools on the people. The republican party in the Indian Territory will make a serious mistake; if they enter a campaign without first giving the one hundred and twenty five thousand loyal adherents representation on the executive committee. Because, Oklahoma has made the error; is no reason why the Indian Territory should follow suit. The democratic cartoon now going the rounds, is an insult to every white lady in the state. The democrat cartoonist should get out a cartoon showing the democrat leaders sneaking around after Negro women of low character. And he would hit the spot. Its not the white women but the white men who should be cartooned. Our boys in the Centarl and Southern Districts are a unit for U. S. Marshell Porter of the Southern District. They all say he beleives in a Square Deal to all men and had the Lergue Convention of our people at Oklahoma City been a political one he would have received the endorrement of the Negroes of the state of Oklahoma. Negroes like, Jess Mason, Preacher Pruett and Wesson and fesser Johnsing can't make the Negroes disgrace themselves and defeat the republican party. A man who runs for office and his only qualification is that he is white is as big a d—— fool as the fellow who runs and his only qualification is that he is black and we have some of both kind in this vicinity.

The Inter-Territorial Negro Protective League convention, in session assembled, declare the following resolutions: Whereas, we comprehend the interests of 200,000 human souls, representing the greatest number of individual land owners of our race in any commonwealth of the United States, whose interests locally and otherwise are so pronounced. Resolved, That we co-operate in the furtherance of the doctrine of Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, in that he believes in "All men up and no men down, and a square deal for every man," as the broad, intelligent view of American citizenship and as the only basic doctrine acceptable and capable of being entertained by righteous acting and fair thinking men. Resolved, that it is the sense of this organization that the best interests of the negro race demand that system of public schools be inaugurated in the new state whereby the education of the negro youth of the state will be in the control of the negroes thereof, and while we oppose class legislation, we feel it is to our best interests to mainseparate, non-sectarian schools for the races. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to the support of every delegate or representative upon a platform maintaining and enforcing a constitution embodying all those principles which stand for every man and his interests alike, which will deprive no man of the right to vote on account of his race, color or previous condition of servitude, and we oppose any property or educational test for voting, and we favor provisions which will secure to 906.

We commend the action of the 59th congress in making the 40-acre of acreage allotment land of the freedman of the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes of Indians inalienable for 21 years. We favor the removal of the restrictions from the surplus lands of the citizens of the five civilized tribes as for the best interest for all the people of the new state. We recommend the organization of leagues or local clubs in communities wherein the negro resides and the establishment of a ready medium of communication in a centralized system of our organization. Resolved, That we urge our people to secure homes and lands, that we educate and prepare ourselves for a higher citizenship in the new state, that we do not sell our lands and that those who do not own homes be advised to save their earnings and purchase a home, and strive to have a bank account. Resolved, That we encourage persons of our race who are engaged in commercial enterprises and recommend such persons be patronized by the race. Resolved, That the name of this organization shall be the Negro Protective League of the State of Oklahoma, and that the object of the organization shall be the promotion of the intellectual, financial and political interest of the negroes of the State of Oklahoma. That we are unalterably opposed to lynch law, but we favor the suppression of crime. That we favor a fair and impartial trial of all persons charged with crime before a jury of their peers. J.

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, a remedy which has been before the American peo- ple for a generation, is still accomplish- ing wonder ful results as is evidenced by the following interview with Mrs, Ra- chael Gardner, of Wilsey, Kans. “It was very strange,” she says, ‘1 never could tell what caused it and neither could anybody else.

TER. | The latest discovery in Germany is —camping! R. Julien writes about it in the Berlin Tageblatt as “die neu- este Sommer-Romantik.” “Like so many new things,” he says, “the camping summer amusement comes to us from the far west by way of France. American youths it was, pu- pils, students, who first introduced it.” The Americans, he goes on to inform his countrymen, convinced that the comforts of life in cities tend toward effeminacy, make a regular sport of camping. Not only during the sub- mer vacation, but often over Sunday they go—alone, in couples, in fam- ilies, in clubs—to forest or shore. Sleeping in the open air steels their nerves, while rod and rifle provide ad- ditional recreation. _ Mr, Julien sus- pects that “Trapper-romantik” and inherited ancestral love of adventure throw light on this American spe- clalty. Possibly, he adds, the paucity of “Erholungsstatte” has something to do with it. There he is, of course, mistaken, but his guess suggests the main reason, no doubt, why the Ger- mans themselves have not heretofore known the delights of camping. <A German never takes a walk or excur- sion that does not end at an “Er- holungsstatte’—a tavern or beer gar- den. Supply follows the demand, and inns are so abundant, even in out-of-the-way places, that tenting seems a superfluity, if not an absurd- ity. For students, who, most of all, might fee! inclined to “rough it” un- der canvas, dozens of special inns have actually been built in the moun- tainous regions of Germany. It re- mains to be seen, says the New York Post, what effect fashion will have in acclimating this new American fad, which is said to appeal particularly to —automobilists! Rules for Panama Hate. Mr. William C, Hesse, who is the government authority on Panama hats, gives the following rules for the care of your best Panama, says Tech- nical World Magazine. Don’t crush up a Panama hat as though it were a cloth cap, It cannot stand such treatment; it will break. The stories of the indestructibility of Panama hats are untrue, Don’t attempt to clean a Panama hat yourself except with soap and water. It is folly to use lemon or acid on this sort of hat, and it is the height of folly to let the irresponsible and ignorant street fakir do your cleaning, for he invariably uses the rankest acid. Don't fail to brush your Panama at least once a day, Straw hats should be brushed as often as derby hats. I brush mine twice a day, and it is as clean at the end of the summer as it was at the beginning. Don't fail to remove a crease that may be any- where in your hat. Such a crease is bound to cut the straw. Don't be careless of your Panama hat. Treat it with consideration, and it will last you all your life.

THINGS THE BABY NEEDS. A Few Simple Rules for the Guidance of Young Mothers. The less noise a baby hears, the less he is carried about and played with for the first six months of his life, the better it will be. It is seldom necessary to take him from his crib, except for his bath and meals, The habit of tossing him about and trotting him on the knee makes him nervous and wakeful, and cannot possibly do any good. His undeveloped system calls for rest, yet he is often denied that priv- flege. Children, as well as older people, are to a great extent creatures of habit, and they cannot acquire habits that are conducive tu proper develop- ment and health of the body at too early an age. It is during sieep that the building- up forces work without interruption and the child gains in flesh and strength, Have regular hours for his naps, and see that everything is favorable for sleep at that time. There should be no tight bands to hinder respira- tion. Place his crib in such a position that the light will not shine direct- ly upon his face—preferably in a cool, quiet corner. Do not cover him too warmly; change his position occa- sionally, and he will sleep longer. If baby is restless and does not sleep well,, it 1s well to remove some of the covering. Baby should not be covered too warmly, but should have just enough covering so he won't be cold. Never give your baby soothing sirup of any kind, except on the advice of your, physician. Whenever baby shows the slightest symptoms of sickness it is best to call a physician at once, since much harm may be done by cnly a few hours’ de- lay, and the little hfe is far too pre- cious to be sacrificed needlessly. BEST WAY TO HANG PICTURES. Should Never Be Placed at an Angle to the Wall. Does anybody still hang pictures at an angle to the wall? Has it not been impressed on everybody that a picture to show to the best advan- tage should hang flat against the wall? It was not long ago that every pic- ture dipped at an angle maybe of 30 degrees. The grouping of pictures was, of course, impossible, when this practice was followed, because no two could ever be made to hang at the same angle. Now pictures are hung flat. The tendency to put as little fur- niture as possible into rooms has had its effect on the walls. -One picture is now hung in the center of each wall. Broad ribbon-like hangings are frequently used instead of wires—at least the wires are hidden by these ribbons, which fall from a rosette at the ceiling. Sometimes a very heavy silk cord conceals the wire and the cord is tied in a flat bow at the ceil- ing line. Small pictures are hardest to ar- range in accordance with the present styles. The best treatment of them is to make a mass effect by hanging them all together. Freshening Ribbons. Ribbons will become creased tn spite of the best care and a hot flat iron removes but few of these marks of use. A better plan is this: Take @ smooth quart bottle and fill with boiling hot water. Then wrap a sin- gle paper smoothly around the bottle, wrap the ribbon around the paper perfectly smooth and tight and then wrap another paper around this and pin in place. Set it aside a day and night and the ribbon will be beautiful- ly smooth and new to appearance. Soiled ribbons may be soaked and squeezed in a weak suds and when rinsed and dried, froned in this way, It is a very satisfactory method, There is nothing truer tha. | sie ter’s love—for some other chap.

Differences. “You haven't the old buildings nor the development of the drama that we have,” said the European. “No,” answered the American. “I suppose it’s due to the fact that our building inspectors and police look at things differently.” Sublect for Another Lecture. “Oh, dear,” exclaimed Mrs. Slap- dash, when they were finally seated in the carriage, “I’ve only got one of my earrings on. I left the other on my dressing table.” “Huh!” grunted her husband, “Just like my lectures on your carelessness —in one ear and out the other.” Rather Rough. Above the stairway there flickered a candle and then a deep voice called from the shadows: “Katherine, Katherine. Who ts that sandpapering the wall this hour of the night?” A long stillness and then: “No one down here, father, dear. T guess it must be next door.” The candle vanished and then from the gloom of the parlor: “George, you big goose, I told you never to call on me unless you had been shaved.” His Scheme Worked. It is related that a certain man was recently very sad because his wife had gone out of town on a visit, which she would not shorten in spite of his appeals to her to come home. He finally hit upon a plan to induce her to return. He sent her a copy of each of the local papers with one item clipped out, and when she wrote to find out what it was he had clipped out he refused to tell her. The scheme worked admirably: In less than a week she was home to find out what it was that had been going on that her husband dfan’t want her to know about.—Pittsburg Press. HOW MANY OF US? Fail to Select Food Nature Demands to Ward Off Ailments. A Ky. lady, speaking about food, says: “I was accustomed to eating all kinds of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nervous prostration set in. “After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the necessity of some change in my diet, and I dis- continued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape-Nuts with & good quantity of rich cream, “In a few days my condition changed in a remarkable way, and I began to have a strength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor of body and a poise of mind that amazed me. It was entirely new in my experience. “My former attacks of indigestion had been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condition was dis- tressing, with blind Spells of dizziness, Tush of blood to the head and neural- gic pains in the chest. “Since using Grape-Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged in rich, Breasy foods in quantity, then I would be warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unless I heeded the warning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles originated I returned to my Grape-Nuts and cream and the pain and disturbance left very quickly, “I am now in prime health as a Te sult of my use of Grape-Nuts,” Name pian by Postum Co,, Battle Creek, lc 7 Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health. Nothing Succeeds Like "EGG-O-SEE." The man who preaches the best sermon; the man who tells the funniest stories; the man who keeps the best store, or the man who makes the best goods, soon finds that people come to him. Merit is the best advertisement in the world. People speak well of things they know are good. They pass the good word along. The best breakfast food is "EGG-O-SEE, for it contains all the life-giving properties of nature's best food, which is Wheat. EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to the thousands of wives and mothers who use it in their homes, for these good women tell their neighbors about this great food. Children and aged persons alike are friends of EGG-O-SEE. Merit and common sense are things that advertise EGG-O-SEE most. EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10-cent package contains ten liberal breakfasts. EGG-O-SEE is sold everywhere. Grocers must keep it if they want to keep their good customers, for good customers insist on buying EGG-O-SEE. The fact that no preparation, no cooking, is required, makes EGG-O-SEE very popular. Open the package; put in as much as you like in a dish; pour on milk or cream and eat. It is delicious. It is wholesome. It makes you strong. A lot of interesting facts about EGG-O-SEE have been published in book form entitled, "back to nature." This book also has a course of physical culture—fully illustrated. Anyone wishing this book will receive it free by addressing EGG-O-SEE Company, 10 First St., Quincy, Ill. Three Great Conversationalists. The three greatest conversationalists with whom it has been my good fortune to come into touch were Mazzini, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Bismark. Of these, Dr. Holmes was the most spirited in the bel esprit sense; Bismarck the most imposing and at the same time the most entertaining in point of wit, sarcasm, anecdote and narrative of historical interest, brought out with rushing vivacity and with lightning-like illumination of conditions, facts and men. In Mazzini words there breathed such a warmth and depth of conviction, such enthusiasm of faith in the sacredness of the principles professed and of the aims pursued by him, that it was difficult to resist such a power of fascination.—Carl Schurz, in McClure's Magazine. A Household Necessity. I would almost as soon think of running my farm without implements as without Hunt's Lightning Oil.

I regard it as a household necessity. Yours truly, S. Harrison, Kosciusko, Miss. Seeking Only Bare Justice. Creditor—So you've come around at last to pay me what you owe me, have you?

But alum baking powder biscuits are never mentioned in this respect. Why? Because it's the cream of tartar that is objectionable and injurious, and yet there are some people who to-day continue to use the old cream of tartar baking powder, and wonder why they are always alling. But the defeated candidate doesn't care much what else happens. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." In Use For Over 30 Years. THE GENTAUR COMPANY. 77 MURRAY STREET. NEW YORK CITY.

For Govenor of the State of Oklahoma. Hon. John D. Benedict, of Muskogee, I. T. Public school has commenced and everything seems to start off O. K. May it continue. Our election commissioners have been appointed and it will be only a short time before the work of the campaign will begin in earnest. The loud mouthed blatant demagogue in the person of Jess Masin, who sometimes parades as a teacher, should be squelched. In our opinion such cusses are a disgrace to the race and we pity the community that must suffer his infliction as a teacher. Judge Reed is making a splendid campaign in his district and it looks very much like his nomination by acclamation. He will certainly beat his Democratic opponent if nominated. Prof. P. B. Hudson seems to be the unanimous choice of the boys at the forks of the road. He is a splendid man, a good Republican and can be easily elected. Dunbar school is overcrowded and Douglas school will fill up on short notice. We have made a good start, have good buildings and in the main an improvement in the personnel of the teaching force. Not a negr has been appointed as election commissioner. What in the h— is the matter with our fellows who claim they want to build up the party? Every man who attended the negro convention at Oklahoma City is a Republican. The convention is against Democrats, be they white or black. We understand there are some negro Democrats at Vinita who are attempting to throw cold water on the League. We regret that the powers that be forgot to appoint any of the township committeemen as election committeemen. Can it be the report is true that the executive committee has it in for the boys in the trenches? A real Republican should be nominated in the 76th district and he will be elected. Give us a Republican who is a property owner and the boys will do the rest. It's mighty poor politics for a Republican to keep Democrats in office under him, and it's a h— of a reflection on our party, as it insinuates that we have not men who are competent to fill the places. When the Democrats are in no Republican need apply. Then why treat them otherwise? The editor of this paper and several of the Indian Territory contingent will attend the Press Convention in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Sept. 20-22. Dangerous Doctrine. The Wilburton Gazette says: "Col. Walter L. Wilson made a regular Ku Klux speech at the opera house Monday afternoon under the auspices of the Davisonian Democratic club. He prefaced his remarks by saying that he was glad that he was from South Carolina and had served a term for stealing ballot boxes and killing 'niggers.' He told how in that good old state they armed themselves and carried the election Democratic and advised the Democrats of Wilburton to do likewise. He also told of how drunk he and his wife got once upon a time at Washington. The respectable Democrats do not endorse such infamous teachings and it is unfortunate that such men are foisted upon the public and should be allowed to assail the ears of respectable people with such seditious utterances. If he attempts to practice in this country what he preaches he will have an opportunity of serving another term in the pen. To attempt such a diabolical plan would defer statehood indefinitely." Fortunately for both parties such campaign orators (?) as Col. Wilson are not numerous and the Democratic committee will no doubt promptly call him off the stump and publicly repudiate his teachings.—Phoenix. Col. Walter L. Wilson is not only an unreconstructed rebel, but self-confessed thief, murderer and drunkard and a real decent Democrat would sooner admit a rattlesnake into his home than this human snake. We warn the Colonel that in this country there win in all probability be no cause for him to serve a term in the pen for killing negroes. If the game is started he may serve an indefinite period in h—for his temerity. There is a different class of negroes in this country and they fight all such cusses as Col. Wilson until the Plutonian regions send up the high sheriff of hades to help his minion, the Rebel Colonel, and then until the regions are congealed as ice and then continue the battle on the frozen substance. Lay on, McDuff, and damned be he who first cries Hold! Enough! The Suffrage League Convention. On Monday, the 10th, there gathered in Oklahoma City the representative men of the negroes of the new state in a convention known as the Suffrage League Convention. There were present men from all parts of the new state and each brought a message from the rank and file of the people at home. At one o'clock Hon. S, Douglass Russell called the meeting on. The welcome address was delivered by Attorney Wm. Harrison and the response by Attorney S. T. Wiggins. The chairman appointed the usual committees and while these were at work the audience was entertained by many splendid efforts at oratory by the delegates who were not at work on committees. The convention passed a splendid set of resolutions, which appear in this paper. As it was well known that the Republican committee from Indian Territory and Republican committee of Oklahoma were meeting in joint session for the purpose of amalgamation. The Indian Territory delegates got together and passed a resolution asking that before the amalgamation that E. E. McDaniel, of South McAlester, who was then present, be added to the committee, thereby giving our people representation on the committee. The time for election now having arrived, the result was as follows: Hon. J. C. Johnson, of Wewoka, President, and Hon. William Harrison, of Oklahoma City, Secretary.

I am happy to be able to say it has helped me wonderfully." -Mayme E. Smith. A. MISS MAYME SMITH. 444 E. Mound Street, Columbus, Ohio. HAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It is caused by some irritating substance in the atmosphere during the late summer months. It is generally thought that the pollen of certain weeds and flowers is the cause of it. Change of locality seems to be the only rational cure. The use of Peruna, however, stimulates the nervous system to resist the effect of the poisonous emanations and sometimes carries the victim through the hay fever season without an attack of the disease. A large number of people rely upon Peruna for this purpose. Those who do not find it convenient to change their location to avoid Hay Fever, would do well to give Peruna a trial. It has proven of priceless value to many people. WHEN THE BED GOES 'ROUND But Smith Was Too Wise to Wait on the Procession. "That was an amusing story about the congressman who caught his bed the fourth time it came around. It reminded me." continued the narrator "of the first time I heard the bed phrase. It happened in Harrisburg, where I was then stationed, and it happened to a legislator whom I shall call Smith. "At the first session Smith became famous for his ability to comfortably carry more liquor than any other man in the legislature. At the opening of the second session some Philadelphiaans got together and put up a job on Smith. They arranged relays, so that when one party had enough another should take hold, and thus keep going until they had Smith down and out. Well, they began with Smith one evening, and after two relays had succumbed their successors noted with much satisfaction that Smith was mixing his beverages—they didn't know that was his custom, and he fooled them all. The bout continued all night and all of the next day, and when the second evening came Smith was the only man able to get away unaided. "Several days later I asked Smith how he got along after he reached his hotel. "When I got into my room," he replied, "I saw a procession of beds coming in my direction. I grabbed the first one, fell into it, and woke up the next afternoon.'"—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph "Do you think it pays country people to take in city boarders?" "Certainly, as long as the boarders don't find it out."—Baltimore American. Some Games That Will Afford Amusement to the Little Folks. It is not a difficult matter to give children a happy time, because of their responsiveness. To them "a splendid time" means merely a fev folly games, some bright musc.c, perhaps a little dance, a light supper and a tiny souvenir. Their childish wishes are then more gratified and they go home happy as larks. For children from five to 12 years of age, four to eight o'clock is the best time for the party, supper being at about half after six. For tiny tots, from three to six o'clock is a more suitable time, with supper served at five o'clock. When a boy or girl an write his or her own invitations they are much more appreciated by their little friends. But, for the wee tots, mother must, of course, send out the invitations. At these parties the little host or hostess must welcome each guest as he or she arrives. Mother, or some older person should stand in the background and cordially second the welcome first extended by the little host or hostess. Half an hour may be allowed for assembling and then the games should begin. A very amusing form of entertainment is to request each little girl to bring her best doll, and each little boy his finest toy dog. Then have a "baby show" and a "dog show." Let each little girl show her baby doll and let the judges decide which is the "cutest," which is the "fattest," which is the "prettiest," and which is the "best dressed." Award the prizes to each little mother. After this have the "dog show." Let each little man show his dog in the ring, and have some grown men to decide the various points of the dogs shown, and then award the prizes. A lawn hunt is very nice for children's parties. Souvenirs of various kinds, wrapped in paper are hidden here and there over the lawn and the little one who finds the most of these packages receives a prize. Peanuts or fruits may be substituted for the packages. Centerpiece Holders. Some one has invented a pretty treatment of the broomstick or the pasteboard mailing tube which so many women have found the most satisfactory thing to wind centerpieces and doilies around when they have just been done up. A 25 inch square of flowered dimity is edged with narrow lace or bound with wash ribbon or with one of the many pretty wash braids and attached to the tube, which has been covered with cotton batting in which sachet powder has been freely sprinkled, and then with the material. The doilies are laid flat upon the square as soon as they have thoroughly aired after ironing and are loosely rolled around the tube, both doilies and outer covering kept from unrolling by inch-wide ribbons attached, one in the middle of the roll and one on each side near the end. To Clean Frames. Don't attempt to clean picture frames covered with goldleaf, as the finest and most beautiful of all gold frames are. You can tell them by the way the gold, as you look at it closely, seems laid on, here and there curling ever so slightly away from the frame. Any sort of cleaning, except the most casual dusting, is bound to make the gold scale off in an unsightly fashion. Select Brush Carefully. The hair brush should have long, soft bristles that will go quite through the hair and remove every particle of dust, and must, above all things, be immaculately clean. A comb is rarely necessary, if the hair is well brushed, but, when used, should be a coarse one. 2. Profane no divine ordinance. 3. Touch no state matters. 4. Reveal no secrets. 5.

STOP, WO AND CONSIDER THE ALL-IMPORTANT FACT STOP, WOMAN!

Following we publish two letters from a woman who accepted this invitation. Note the result: First letter. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "For eight years I have suffered something terrible every month. The pains are excruciating and I can hardly stand them. My doctor says I have a severe female trouble, and I must go through an operation if I want to get well. I do not want to submit to it if I can possibly help it. Please tell me what to do. I hope you can relieve me."—Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 59th and E. Capitol Streets, Washington, D. C. Second letter. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "After following carefully your advice, and taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I am very anxious to send you my testimonial, that others may know their value and what you have done for me. Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out—Cured by Cuticura. "I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician I purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuticura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. I have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases than anything I know of. Emma E.

We are wont to speak of this era as the "age of iron," and there is no gainsaying that, industrially speaking, iron is a "precious metal." Nevertheless, few people realize how useful, if not absolutely necessary, to modern civilization, is that other metal, lead. Soft, yielding, pliable, it is not much like its sister metal, but those distinguishing qualities are what give it such a prominent place in the arts and industries. Modern plumbing, requiring many turnings and twistings, but withal tight joints, would be almost impossible without lead pipe. The greatest civilizing agent in the world—the printing art—is absolutely dependent on lead. Hand-set type, linotype "slugs," monotype type—all are made of compositions of which lead is the chief component—to say nothing of the bearings in the presses as well as all other kinds of machinery in which "babbitt" metal is used. Solder is another lead product—what a field of usefulness that one form opens up. Then there is the most important use of all to which lead is put—paint, that necessary material which keeps our houses looking pretty—inside and out—and preserves them from decay. How many of us thank metallic lead for the comforts of paint? Yet the best house paint is nothing but metallic lead corroded by acid to a white powder known as "white lead." Of course, there are many imitations of "white lead," some of which are sold as white lead and some which are offered by the name of ready-prepared paint under the familiar pretense that they are "just as good" as white lead. But all good paint is made of the metal, lead, corroded and ground to a fine white powder and mixed with linseed oil. White lead is also used in the coating of fine oil cloths and for many purposes besides paint. "Red lead" is another product of metallic lead and is what is known as an oxide of lead, being produced by burning the metal. Red lead is the best paint known to preserve iron, steel or tin, and is used largely in painting metal structures, such as skyscraper skeletons, mills and bridges. There are many other products of the metal lead, such as litharge, orange mineral, etc., which are essential to many of the arts in which we never imagine that lead would be of the least use. Verily, we live in an age of lead as well as of iron. States of Brazil. Politically, Brazil is divided into 21 states (including the federal district). but so unequal is the division that three of these embrace practically her entire lowlands, as well as a portion of the western uplands, and exceed in area the remaining 18, which lie within the highland region, except for their narrow margins upon the coast. These latter, however, contain more than 96 per cent. of the population. For Twenty Years. Other chill remedies have sprung up, flourished for a brief season, then passed away—even from memory—but for twenty long years Cheatham's Chill Tonic has been in the field of action. The reason is simple. It has the merit. It actually cures chills and fevers, while the majority of others merely promise to. One bottle guaranteed to cure any one case. Bound to Change. A practical adviser gives the following remedy for a red nose: "Keep on drinking, and it will turn purple." Swords Into a Plow. During the centennial celebration in Philadelphia in 1876 the members of the Universal Peace union assembled to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the foundation of the order. A number of officers and descendants of officers gave their swords to be made into a plow as a symbol of peace. The weapons were afterward fashioned into a homely agricultural implement, which, however, instead of being a plow, took the shape of the ordinary field cultivator. This cultivator may now be seen in the hall at Geneva, Switzerland. Over it is an inscription giving the history of the implement. Lord Milner, the former high commissioner for South Africa, has received through the duke of Somerset an address expressing appreciation of his services in South Africa signed by 370,000 persons.

TO REPUBLICANS; We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee.
