Vol 8 The Negro Press Association for the new state held their Annual session in Guthrie today Editors and staff men were in attendance from all section of the state, among them were some of the strongest and most influential men of the race. W. H. Twine of Muskogee, was elected President. and Geo. Robinson of Watonga, elected Secretary. The Convention was address by E. D. McDaniels of South McAllister, G. W. F. Swaner of Chandler, Prof. W. E. Glenn, of Taft, E. I. Saddler, G. H. Perkins, and C. A. Buchanan of Guthrie. In the afternoon Lawyer E. T. Barbour of Eireno read a very able paper on the Negro in the new state. Some very strong resolutions on almost every subject were passed. Arrangements to organize the Negroes in every township to prepare to defend himself with his ballot against any attact that may be made his rights by the coming constitution, was perfected. The following were adopted: RESOLUTIONS. It is the duty of the Press to keep the public informed upon all subjects pertaining to the public, to condemn crime and expose criminals and to create and guide healthy public sentiment. The Negro Press is responsible to the people and to the whole people for any informtion affecting the social and political status of the Negro American. The Negro Press As- sociation of Oklahoma and Indian Territory realizing that at the stage of Negro citizenship there are many things transpiring which are of great importance to the Negro both nationally and in this contemplated new state, much as the recent dishonorable discharge of the three companies of the 25th U. S. Infantry, colored, lynch law and mob violence. the framing of the Constitution of the new state, and the part the Negro is playing in its politics but believing, the said association does that this is not a white man's nor a red man's nor a black man's government but a government of the people, for the people and by the people and believing further in that principle of the Declaration of Independence that all men are created free and equal and en with certain inalienable rights among them life liberty and the pursuit of happiness; believing also in humanity and in the highest development of all mankind recognizing only the superiority as to opportunities and none as inate in races, and recognizing and advocating the "square deal" for all alike the said Negro Press Association in Convention assembled have adopted the following resolutions. Whereas, it appears that the Constitutional Convention now in session measures hostile to our interests and to the interest of all Negro citizens of the proposed new state are being or have been urged, regardless of the fact, the framing of the Constitution is but the adoption of certain basic rules and fundamental principles by the body politic is to be governed and not for the enactment of legislative matters partisan in character. Whereas education is the main is the chief elevator and benefactor of the citezinship to the extent that every citizen is reached and benefited more or less by its influence and advantages, and since it is our desire that the grat state of Oklahoma present a favorable comparison educationally with any other state. Whereas we denounce and condemn all crime and particularly the practice of lynching human beings in these United States, especially as obtains in the Southern States, as a relic of barbarism unworthy of any civilization and as a foul blot upon the name and honor of the nation, and, Whereas, by the recent act of the President of the United States of America in issuing an order for the discharge without honor of Companies B.C. and D of the 25th U. S. Infantry for their alleged implication in riot at Brownsville, Texas. Where as said act as executed was by reason of the report as made to the President by General Garlington, and in Blocksome who in said report allege that they had made full investigations of every man in the Battallion when the facts are there were only 7, 8, and 9 men selected from these companies by the said General Garlington for investigation and some of them were not in the state of Texas at the time of the riot, and, Whereas, there was not a full investigation made by the said inspector as claimed by them in their report submitted to the President charging the riot up to the said companies under the caption of murder. Be it resolved that the Negro American continue to take a lively interest in American Politics; that we demand a share of the responsibilities of our government and incidental emoluments thereof; that we oppose our political enemies and stand by our friends supporting those parties, men and measures that best promote our interest as a race; that we organize solidly the impending No 11 campaign in the to be state of Oklahoma; if our constitutional rights are invaded by the acts of the present constitutional convention, that we vote as a unit against its ratification, adopting as our motto in politics the Rooseveltism doctrine expressed by Gov. Frantz in his innaugural address viz; "The game shall be played according to the rule." Resolved that the constitution of this new state should declare for "equal rights to all men" should declare against class legislation of every kind and should be big enough and broad enough to protect our cosmopolitan citizenship giving to labor ample protection and to capital proper encouragement. Resolved that it is the duty of our rich and promising state to place within the reach of all its people the best educational advantages: that the Negro Press Association of the new state Oklahoma exert every energy toward securing to Negro full and equal educational advantages: that the said association urge of the new state the appropriation of a fund sufficient for the improvement and maintenance of Haloochee Institute in the East half of the new state of Oklahoma known as the Indian Territory and located at Taft, I. T. Resolved that we indorse the action of President Inman E. Page of the Colored Agricultural and Normal Industrial school of Langston, Oklahoma., in presenting to the Convention the beautiful desk and gavel made by the students of said University, for the use of said Convention and presentation remarks made by President Page as wise, timely and patriotic and that we deeply deplore and regret the prejudice, narrowness and lack of statesmanship displayed by the presiding officer in his speech of acceptance. Resolve that we urge our people to organize and prepare to defend themselves against mobs and assassin, advising them that it is more honorable to die defending home, family and life than to be shot or burned to death by cowards and murderers; that we urge them to (Continued on last page) GARFIELD COMING HERE. Writes to President of South McAlester Chamber of Commerce. South McAlester, I. T.—At last there is hope ahead for the Indian Territory. President Fuller of the Chamber of Commerce of this city has it officially from heaquarters that James R. Garfield, the next secretary of the interior, will visit the Indian Territory and inquire into conditions at first hand in the state where his dictum will be the court of last resort for a year to come. In a letter to Mr. Fuller, Mr. Garfield says: "I shall most certainly spend a great deal of time in these parts of the west with which the interior department has to do." Mr. Garfield's letter was written in reply to one received by him from President Fuller urging him to make a personal investigation of the Indian question before coming to decide his policy in the new state. It is said that since Garfield's appointment in the interior department was announced, he has been flooded with letters denouncing Hitchcock and Hitchcockism in unmeasured terms as the source and the origin of all of the Territory's evils. OSAGE PAYMENT. Commences December 3d—Amounts to $310,000. Ret Millard, Osage Indian agent, announces that a payment of $310,-000, including $90,000 interest, $70,000 grass money and $150,000 royalty on oil, will be commenced on December 3. Full bloods only will be paid the first three days, after which annuilants will be paid in the usual manner. Agent Millard announces that mixed bloods need not come to Pawhuska until the latter half of the week of the payment. To assist in the allotment work, all parents are requested to have ready and deliver to the agent when they appear at the pay table, a correct list of their respective families, giving name and age of each member. Parents and guardians will also be required to show regular attendance of eligible children in some recognized school. Broken Arrow now enjoys the luxury of electric lights. The Haskell Journal is three years old and admits having had a "rugged" existence. A prairie fire near Blue Jacket burned through several corn fields and destroyed the crops. The town of Haskell has a brass band that is said to make real music. John F. Gambill is the leader. Durant is after the M., O. & G. and the proposed Harriman line from Kansas City to Denison. Mules to be shipped to Cuba are being bought in the Indian Territory and the average price paid is $140. Pawhuska has voted by a large majority for the issue of $30,000 bonds to build school houses. The corn carnival begins at Oklahoma City next Wednesday, at which $2,000 in premiums have been offered. At Kingston, I. T., 315 bales of cotton were destroyed by fire supposed to have been started by sparks fro ma Frisco engine. Foraker, in the Osage nation and on the Midland Valley railroad, will be made a money order office on January 2, 1907. A small daughter of Mr. Early who lives near Foyil, was kicked by a horse after being thrown from a buggy and died from the injuries received. A prairie fire east of Vinita destroyed some barns and stock, while a little daughter of Walter Williams was aftally burned in a barn before she could be rescued. The Tecumseh and Norman Traction company with a capital of one million dollars has been organized to build an electric line to the latter place, a distance of thirty-four miles. Youthful Boston Congressmen. All three of the congressmen just elected from Boston—Joseph F. O'Connell, John A. Kellher and Andrew J. Peters—are young men and bachelors. It is the first time in the history of the city that husband and father has not been included in Boston's delegation to Washington and, incidentally, it becomes the youngest delegation that was ever sent from any city in the country. GAVE DRUMMER A SCARE. Delayed Telegram Suggested Awful Possibilities. "There was a traveling man," said the night operator, "whose wife presented him with a son while he was out drumming up trade. The doctor got the man's address, and, since his wife was doing none too well, wrote out a message giving him the news and telling him to return. "The doctor gave the message to the cook, who couldn't read. She forgot to send it, and the next day the drummer came home of his own accord. "He stayed a day or two, found his wife doing all, right, and set out on his rounds again. Nothing, as it happened, was said about the forgotten telegram. "And at the end of the week the telegram was remembered by the cook. With an exclamation of horror—you know she couldn't read—she hurried to the office and sent to the drummer that delayed message. When he got it that night he was terrified. What he read was this: "'Another addition—a son; your wife very ill; return at once.'" "He took the midnight train for home. He was like a man in a trance. 'Another?' he kept muttering in a dazed voice. 'Impossible!' "On getting home he was so relieved when everything was explained to him that he decided not to fire the cook, after all." A DOCTOR'S TRIALS. He Sometimes Gets Sick Like Other People. Even doing good to people is hard work if you have too much of it to do. No one knows this better than the hard-working, conscientious family doctor. He has troubles of his own—often gets caught in the rain or snow, or loses so much sleep he sometimes gets out of sorts. An overworked Ohio doctor tells his experience: "About three years ago as the result of doing two men's work, attending a large practice and looking after the details of another business, my health broke down completely, and I was little better than a physical wreck. "I suffered from indigestion and constipation, loss of weight and appetite, bloating and pain after meals, loss of memory and lack of nerve force for continued mental application. "I became irritable, easily angered and despondent without cause. The heart's action became irregular and weak, with frequent attacks of palpitation during the first hour of two after retiring. "Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas came for my lunch one day and pleased me particularly with the result. I got more satisfaction from it than from anything I had eaten for months, and on further investigation and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my morning and evening meals, served usually with cream and a sprinkle of salt or sugar. "My improvement was rapid and permanent in weight as well as in physical and mental endurance. In a word, I am filled with the joy of living again, and continue the daily use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often for the evening meal. "The little pamphlet, 'The Road to Wellville,' found in pkgs., is invariably saved and handed to some needy patient along with the indicated remedy." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason." BACKACHE "I wrote you for advice," writes Lelia Hagood, of Sylvia, Tenn., "about my terrible backache and monthly pains in my abdomen and shoulders. I had suffered this way nine years and five doctors had failed to relieve me. On your advice I aook Wine of Cardui, which at once relieved my pains and now I am entirely cured. I am sure that Cardui saved my life." Reception Was Costly. Mrs. Augustus Heaton, of Washington, some time ago changed from the Episcopalean to the Roman Catholic church and by way of celebrating the event decided to give a reception in honor of the bishop of her diocese. She decided, however, that her already famous drawing-room was not sufficiently resplendent to serve as a place of reception for the bishop who was to come and congratulate her. There was yet time in which to make the room more attractive and Mme. Heaton, with true artistic taste, had everything taken out of the room except the old furniture and a few art objects. The walls before had been covered with tapestry, but that was not enough for a reception for the bishop. After much thought she finally decided on drab silk wall covering. What with this and other extensive changes in the room without the purchase of furniture Mrs. Heaton got rid of $9,000. Nine times out of a possible ten it's good policy not to.

November is the month of falling temperatures. Over all the temperate regions the hot weather has passed and the first rigors of winter have appeared. As the great bulk of civilized nations is located in the Temperate The Human System Must Adjust itself to Changing Temperatures. Zones, the effect of changing seasons is a question of the highest importance. When the weather begins to The Human System Must Adjust itself to Changing Temperatures. Zones, the effect of changing seasons is a question of the highest importance. When the weather begins to change from warm to cold, when cool nights succeed hot nights, when clear, cold days follow hot, sultry days, the human body must adjust itself to this changed condition or perish. The perspiration incident to warm weather has been checked. This detains within the system poisonous materials which have heretofore found escape through the perspiration. Most of the poisonous materials retained in the system by the checked perspiration find their way out of the body, if at all, through the kidneys. This throws upon the kidneys extra labor. They become charged and overloaded with the poisonous excretory materials. This has a tendency to inflame the kidneys, producing functional diseases of the kidneys and sometimes Bright's Disease. Peruna acts upon the skin by stimulating the emunitory glands and ducts, thus preventing the detention of poisonous materials which should pass out. Peruna invigorates the kidneys and encourages them to fulfill their function in spite of the chills and discouragements of cold weather. Peruna is a combination of well-tried harmless remedies that have stood the test of time. Many of these combination of well-tried harmless remedies that have stood the test of time. Many of these remedies have been used by doctors and by the people in Europe and America for a hundred years. Peruna has been used by Dr. Hartman in his private practice for many years with notable results. Its efficacy has been proven by decades of use by thousands of people, and has been substantiated over and over by many thousands of homes. Disobedience Brought Death. An Italian prince had strictly forbidden one of his daughters to smoke, but so great a hold had the habit obtained over her that she secretly engaged in the practice at every opportunity. One day she was indulging in a cigarette as she reclined on a balcony attired in a dress of the lightest muslin. Suddenly her father appeared on the scene. In the hurry to hide the evidence of her disobedience the princess placed her hand with the burning cigarette behind her back. The result was startling and tragic—her frock was immediately in a blaze, and she was fearfully burned from head to foot, dying after suffering intensely. "THE MARRYING SQUIRE." Justice Geo. E.

Father and Five Children Suffered for Two Years with Terrible Eczema—Wonderful Cure by Cuticura. "My husband and five children were all afflicted with eczema. They had it two years. We used all the home remedies we could hear of without any relief, and then went to a physician and got medicine two different times, and it got worse. It affected us all over except head and hands. We saw Cuticura Remedies advertised and concluded to try them. So I sent for $1.00 worth, cosisting of one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Ointment and one vial of Pills, and we commenced to use them. I do not know how to express my joy in finding a cure, for two of my children were so bad that they have the brown scars on their bodies where they were sore. Mrs. Maggie B.

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Favor the Rod in School.

A woman never fails to boast of her intuition every time she makes a good guess. The elevator boy manages to reach the top, but no one is willing for him to stay there. Only a few men seem to have sense enough not to advertise the fact after they have been making fools of themselves. Only a fair proportion of the women are smart, but a rather larger proportion of them are able to say things that smart just the same. And now a London scientist advises us to change our clothes before each meal. Perhaps the man merely aims to get down to the one meal a day plan. In New York the Y. M. C. A. has opened a training school for office boys. It will probably be one where the textbooks won't consist of the life and adventures of Jesse James. Japan proposes to have an army which will command the respect of all the other powers. It took a step in this direction during its recent controversy with one of them. Prof. Wiley is becoming too finicky in objecting to the use of borax and saltpetre as food, so long as the proper label is used thus: "Old-dough's Alum Bread;" "Tinplate's Borax Beans." Dr. S. A. Frazier, of Berkeley, Cal., has invented a language containing neither swear words nor expressions to convey unpleasant emotions. This is going a great way toward taking language out of politics. In Minnesota a teacher who spanked two girls had the choice of paying a heavy fine or resigning his position. If one of the maidens should eventually marry him he would regret having declined the chance to fly. The students at the several colleges in Rome wear ecclesiastical garb, but each is different in cut and color. The Germans are the most conspicuous in long, single-breasted close-buttoned coats of brilliant scarlet. South Carolina's efforts to promote immigration from Europe have already borne substantial fruit in the decision of the North German Lloyd company to operate an emigrant vessel directly from European ports to Charleston. A Philadelphia policeman who nearly choked to death on a pearl in an oystter found out after he had recovered it and his wind that it was worth $50, which, of course, makes it one of those good chokes that we so frequently hear about and seldom see. A Winona, Minn., hunter mistook a girl for a woodchuck the other day and shot her. Isn't it nearly time to insist that no man shall be permitted to hunt without first obtaining a license by showing that he knows game when he sees it? Another universal language, Triniti, has been invented by one Dr. Frazier of Berkeley, who thinks to recommend it by advertising a total abstinence of swear words. There seems to be no economy in compelling people to know two languages. A man who was born in America has won the professional golf championship. There is no likelihood, however, that we shall be called upon to send our boys to Scotland for the purpose of teaching the fine points of the game over there. WAGONER CONTEST Guthrie—This afternoon the contest case from Wagoner will be taken up in the constitutional convention. Harris, Republican, has a certificate of election and Harrill. Democrat, is contesting his seat. More Help Needed. Charles H. Pittman, who is chairman of the special committee to decide upon additional employees necessary, reported a list of thirty-three employees, at an aggregate salary of $120 per day. All of them to be appointed by the various officers already selected by the convention, with the exception of a second vice president, who was to be elected direct. The list included a minute clerk at $5 per day; a chief enrolling and engrossing clerk, a reading clery and a journal clerk, at $4 per day each; all to be appointed by the secretary; two door keepers, four clerkroom assistants, two watchmen and one messenger, at $4 per day each; four janitors and two ushers, at $2.50 per day each, all to be appointed by the sergeant at arms; a postmaster, a mail carrier, a private secretary for himself, and three committee stenographers, at $4 per day each; five pages at $2 each per day, and three official reporters and stenographers, at $6 per day each, all to be appointed by the president. As soon as the adoption of the report was moved, it was challenged by Henry E. Asp, who moved to amend so as to require all of these employees to be appointed by the president and confirmed by the convention. He accepted an amendment by Dr. Bilby of Alva, to make the reading clerk directly elective, and both amendments were later accepted by Mr. Pittman and his second. The plan thus adopted places all of the patronage of the convention directly in the hands of the president, and gives the convention itself a check on his appointments. The personnel of the committee authorized yesterday, on motion of Henry E. Asp, to prepare a memorial to congress asking for additional appropriations by reason of the insufficiency of the amount appropriated in the enabling act, was announced this morning by President Murray. Mr. Asp is made chairman of the committee, with the other members as follows: H. P. Covey of Fargo; Henry L. Cloud of Wellston; J. E. Slater of Stillwater, W. D. Jenkins of Guthrie, J. H. N. Cobb of Sapulpa; W. H. Hudson of Henryetta; Charles O. Fry of Salisaw, all Republicans, and M. J. Kane of Kingfisher, a Democrat. The question of seating the delegates was settled in accordance with a motion made by C. N. Haskell and seconded by D. S. Rose, providing that a committee of three be appointed to select the permanent seats for the delegates, the selection to be made by lot. C. N. Haskell, D. S. Rose and J. A. Baker were named on this committee. Draws Lots for Seats. The first work of the convention yesterday afternoon was the election of an assistant vice-president and a reading clerk. R. T. Williams, in spite of the fact that he announced he had a cold and sucked a lemon, made the best impression in the oratorical contest for reading clerk and was elected. Thomas C. Harrell, Democrat, presented contest papers for the seat of J. M. Harris, Republican, of Wagoner, in district 71. Delegate Johnson, of Perry, secured the adoption of a motion which provides that until the committee on rules reports the convention assemble every morning at 10 o'clock and adjourn at noon, reassembling at 2 p. m. Cards containing the numbers of each seat were placed in cigar boxes and the boxes were passed among the delegates, who drew the numbers at random. The Democratic majority, however, was only allowed to participate in this lottery and the Republican minority were assigned seats arbitrarily. The Republican seats assigned were from 56 to 60 inclusive, and 98 to 105 inclusive. They are located in the neighborhood of the stove and well back in the assembly hall. Two Indian Territory delegates who did not have their certificates of election yesterday, J. I. Wood of Scipio and Carlton Weaver of Ada, were sworn in this morning by President Murray. In the lottery drawing E. O. McCance, editor of the Mutual Enterprise, representing district 5, drew seat No. 13, and C. S. Leeper, of Sulphur, representing district No. 96, drew seat 23. Although unlucky in number the seats are well toward the front of the house, and they were satisfied. S. M. Ramsey, of district 30, said after the selection had been made: after the selection had been made: "I have the shortest legs of any delegate in this convention, and unfortunately I have drawn a seat behind one of the tallest chairs in the house. I should like to swap seats with one of the delegates in front or take a seat up in the gallery." "Are your legs long enough to reach the floor?" queried President Murray. "Not while I am in Guthrie," was the reply. A delegate suggested that they would be long enough if he would allow a lobbyist to pull them. Owen Watts, of Sallisaw, and Albert Greenwood, of Guthrie, were appointed pages. Owen Watts, one $c^*$ the pages, apointed by President Murray, is a son of Jesse Watts, mayor of Sallisaw. The boy's father is one of three brothers who are mayors of three Indian Territory towns—Wagoner, Sallisaw and Muldrow. J. J. Curl, delegate from Bartlesville, presented the convention with a walnut gavel which was used in the Fifty-seventh district convention which nominated Mr. Curl. This gavel will be presented to the State Horticultural Society when the convention adjourns, and will doubtless be viewed by many future generations of the new state. An active fight on the county boundary proposition has already been started in the constitutional convention by a number of the towns which have county seat aspirations. Most of those towns have lobbies here which are actively at work in their interest, and they are all getting very busy. In his speech of acceptance, on the opening day of the constitutional convention, President W. H. Murray stated that he understood that there were at least 100 of the 112 delegates who were candidates for membership of the county boundaries committee, and his statement was probably not at all exaggerated. The control of the convention by Murray and Haskell, the leading spirits of the Sequoyah convention, has led to the prediction that the county boundaries in Indian Territory will be practically as outlined for the state of Sequoyah, and it is safe to say that the number of counties there will be materially larger than the number of recording districts at the present time, which had been expected to furnish some basis for the county boundary proposition. There are also several county division fights in Oklahoma. It has been proposed to make seven counties out of the three present counties of Greer, Kiowa and Comanche. Greer county is to be divided into three parts, with county seats at Mangum, Hollis, and Altus. For the two counties into which it is proposed to divide Kiowa county, Hobart and Mountain Park would be the shire towns, while Lawton and Frederick would get the honors in the two counties to be created out of Comanche county. A still larger proposition is on foot in northwestern Oklahoma, where it is proposed to make three counties out of Beaver county, with county seats at Beaver, Guymon and Kenton; four in Woodward county, two in Woods and two in Roger Mills. The press gang has decided to give a burlesque constitutional convention. They have organized the "Piglron Club" and under its auspices will give the performance. Miss Lucy Haskell of Muskogee, the accomplished daughter of Delegate Haskell, is an interested visitor in the proceedings. The lady is a good politician and comes by it honestly. Delphin Michael Delmas, regarded as leader of the Pacific coast bar, has been retained to defend Harry Kendall Thaw, indicted for the murder of Stanford White in New York. Mr. Delmas will have charge of the case in every particular. He was admitted to practice in the state of New York recently, and in any event will take up his residence in the empire city at the conclusion of the Thaw trial. He has a striking personality and is regarded as one of the most resourceful, aggressive and magnetic lawyers in the country. In facial characteristics he bears a wonderful resemblance to the first Napoleon. Beyond Expression. G. W. Farlowe, East Florence, Ala., writes: "For nearly seven years I was afflicted with a form of skin disease which caused an almost unbearable itching. I could neither work, rest or sleep in peace. Nothing gave me permanent relief until I tried Hunt's Cure. One application relieved me; one box cured me, and though a year has passed, I have stayed cured. I am grateful beyond expression." Hunt's Cure is a guaranteed remedy for all itching diseases of the skin. Price 50c. Flowers Kept Long in Storage. A French experimenter, named Vercier, has succeeded in keeping certain kinds of peonies more than three months in cold storage, with the flowers in fair preservation to the end of that period. Red and white China peonies, for some unknown reason, best stood the long tests. Not Just as Good—It's the Best. One box of Hunt's Cure is unfailingly, unqualifiedly and absolutely guaranteed to cure any form of Skin Disease. It is particularly active in promptly relieving and permanently curing all forms of Itching known. Eczema, Tetter, Ringworm and all similar troubles are relieved by one application; cured by one box. In one pound of coal there is enough coloring matter to dye 500 yards of flannel magenta, to dye 120 yards aurin, to dye 2,500 yards scarlet, and 255 yards Turkey-red. RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED Mrs. Cota, Confined to Bed and In Constant Pain, Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Rheumatism can be inherited and that fact proves it to be a disease of the blood. It is necessary, therefore, to treat it through the blood if a permanent cure is expected. External applications may give temporary relief from pain but as long as the poisonous acid is in the blood the pain will return, perhaps in a new place, but it will surely return. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism because they go directly to the seat of the disorder, purifying and enriching the blood. Mrs. Henry Cota, of West Cheshire, Conn., is the wife of the village machinist. "Several years ago," she says, "I was laid up with rheumatism in my feet, ankles and knees. I was in constant pain and sometimes the affected parts would swell so badly that I could not get about at all to attend to my household duties. There was one period of three weeks during which I was confined to the bed. My sufferings were awful and the doctor's medicine did not help me. "One day a neighbor told me about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to try them. After I had taken them a short time I was decidedly better and a few more boxes cured me. What is better, the cure was permanent." Remember Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not act on the bowels. They make new blood and restore shattered nerves. They tone up the stomach and restore impaired digestion, bring healthful, refreshing sleep, give strength to the weak and make miserable, complaining people strong, hungry and energetic. They are sold by all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. THEWINNINGSTROKE If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, billiousness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle. You Look Prematurely Old Because of those ugly, grizzly, gray hairs. Use "LA CREOLE" HAIR RESTORER. Price, $1.00, retail.

The season of coughs and colds is not yet past—they will be prevalent for some months to come. Do not neglect or experiment with them. Use the safe and sure remedy—Simmons' Cough Syrup. It heals the soreness and stops the cough. A physician, writing to the British Medical Journal, says: "To-day thousands are taking 'aspirin' without a doctor's prescription. If we had always prescribed it as 'acidi salicylici acetici' very few would have remembered the name; the same applies to hundreds of others." How's This?

To give some idea of how weeds multiply it may be stated that a single plant of pepper grass will produce 18,000 seeds; dandelion, 12,000; shepherd's purse, 37,000; wheat thief, 7,000; common thistles, 65,000; chamomile, 16,000; ragweed, 5,000; purslaine, 375,000; plantain, 47,000, and burdock, 43,000. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Vanderbilt Popular With Comrades. Cornelius Vanderbilt is slowly but surely earning his way to the front in the national guard of New York. In 1901 he was elected a second lieutenant in the Twelfth regiment and is now senior first lieutenant in the organization. He has been detailed to the captaincy of one of the companies and will soon become a regular captain. The members of the regiment show no jealousy over this promotion, as they say it was earned by good work as a soldier. Louisville, Ky. Reynard's Hiding Place. During a run of the Essex Union Hounds at Great Burstead, England, the fox took refuge in a brewhouse, and seated itself on the copper of boiling water. Finding his position too warm, and being hard pressed by the hounds, it fled to the roof and sought safety among the rafters. Chairs were upset, plates and dishes broken and paint pots overturned by the hounds, until the arrival of one of the whips, who caught the fox and liberated it. The Original Porous Plaster. It's Allcock's, first introduced to the people sixty years ago, and to-day undoubtedly has the largest sale of any external remedy—millions being sold annually all over the world. There have been imitations, to be sure, but never has there been one to even compare with Allcock's—the world's standard external remedy. For a weak back, cold on the chest or any local pain, the result of taking cold or over-strain, nothing we know of compares with this famous plaster.
