Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. RAPE. BRUTAL CRIME COMMITTED Last Sunday a white man by name of Pemberton was arrested charged with the heinous crime of rape upon a ten year old Colored girl. There were eight other white men arrested at the same time. The girl identified Pemberton as the man who had assaulted her and the others were discharged. The child is in a serious condition as a result of the brutal treatment received at the hands of this fiend and all decent people, white and black condemn the crime and the perpetrator. We have always been in favor of the present telephone system but as the service so poor we think the double service could not be any worse. Let us have another franchise it might be better. Republicans should not be over-confident. We can win if we work hard otherwise there may be a surprise in store for us. Democrats are now making an aggressive campaign but the Republicans can win if they also make a red hot campaign if they are not lulled to sleep by the delusive phantom of perfect harmony. The Colored voters realize the fact that they have not received the proper assistance in the defeat of the rebel codstitution. Is it right for the party in this county to expect of us a solid vote when they refuse to condemn the constitution? Every true man whatever his nationality, condemns the rapist and when such a crime has been committed all people who have any respect for honor, decency and the fundamental laws governing civilized action will unite in discovering the real culprit and punishing him accordingly. This is the case today in Muskogee touching the rape of the little Negro girl. It is said that Haskell consigned one of his associates to Pluto. Good! That is the political remedy which the Republicans have always prescribed for Democratic ills. And it appears that the Democrats, or Mr. Haskell at least is beginning to realize the wholesomeness of our advice, which is a promising sign. For when we think of the weight and reverence attached to Mr. Haskell's word by the Democrats, we have reason to feel jubilant because we think that our hitherto unheeded advice will be generally accepted. An aggressive educational campaign means victory. If our party attempts any other course we had better stop now because the enemy is not asleep but is vigilant and resourceful and is putting fourth every effort to win this fight. The Republican County Convention The County Convention met and after considerable wrangling 2 nominated a ticket. There would have been complet harmony but for the stealing of the delegations in precinct 2 District 76 and precinct 8, 76 District. The lily whites have gone on record as saying that no Negro need apply for office. One of them is charged with asserting that the party must eliminate the Negto. We trust the party will not stand for this. Pot bellied Brown, the secretary in counting the votes for justice of the peace. forgot to give McRea the full vote he obtained on the first ballot. Dr. McCall of Ft. Gibson should have been nominated for treasurer. The east side is entitled to the place and he could be elected easily. Begin your campaign instanter if you desire to win. There are many obstacles ahead. CONVENTION DOTS. At the Convention the Irish American seemed to have the right of way. Surely the Irish are making a big break for the Graud Old Party. May they bring something aside from candidates. The Negro delegates were conspicuous for their inactivity and for their concerted silence. It appeared to be a tacit agreement that only the chairman and his managers COULD talk. Soper handled his delegation like a veteran and they voted as he willed, without a single murmer of dissent until Judge Reed, B. Bradley and Ireland Rentie kicked out of the traces. Some of the delegates bacame very indignant at the Negro caucus, declaring that they were being robbed of their rights when outsiders ventured to offer a suggestion. And yet these very same delegates were led like sheep by the chairman of their delegation and none grew nervous over their loss of rights. No 45 How strange are the workings of the minds of men! The Muskogee delegation should have had and could have had one of their members as secretary for the convention but they were mesmerized and stupefied by the show of magnificence and the gathering of intelligence before they really had found their bearings it was too late. The Colored delegates of the state outside of Muskogee were against a ticket. There were only four or five in our delegation that had the manhood and courage to stand out against Doug and vote against the constitution. Representative Negroes at the convention decided that regardless of the wishes of the bosses, they would vote against the constitution. Many of them will not vote for a person on the ticket because they believe that Doug wants the constitution as it is. The Wagoner and Lincoln county delegations stood pat all the time. The Colored men on these delegations seemed to be free—most of ours had not yet been emancipated. Vote against the constitution and make your candidate and his friends do the same. We must defeat the constitution at any cost and as the game is now on, get in and go to work. The Negro gambler who tried to cry down the editor of this paper in the Convention, stuck his tail between his legs like a whipped cur when P. L. Soper made the motion that we be heard. The rank and file at Taft, Reevesville and elsewhere are O. K. but the truth must be made known to them. There was a joker in the deck. FRANTZ FOR GOVERNOR G. A. MURPHY OF MUSKOGEE ELECTED PERMANENT CHAIRMAN. A TELEGRAM FROM ROOSEVELT Says He Has a Warm Spot In His Heart For the New State. Tulsa, I. T., Aug. 1.—The first republican state convention of Oklahoma is in session. Seven thousand people arose to their feet, threw hats and coats in the air and gave an enthusiastic and thrilling ovation when the first republican state convention at nine o'clock tonight, on the motion of Wm. P. Freeman, of McAlester, nominated Frank Frantz, the former rough rider captain and present executive officer of Oklahoma as the standard bearer to lead the republicans in the campaign. B. M. Parmenter, of Lawton, placed Frantz in nomination. In accepting the nomination Frantz spoke of the enthusiasm and determination as indicative of the certain success for the republican ticket. He declaired that the republican party was organized on the principle of equal justice to all. That has been abbreviated today by President Roosevelt as the "SQUARE DEAL" he said in conclusion that there was room in the republican band wagon for all and that he was confident all republicans would work for success. His speech was brief but that he made a good impression was evidenced by the frequent applause. The rest of the ticket nominated as follows: By a vote of 1311 to 249 the convention, after a persistent, though one-sided fight started early this morning, decided for the nomination of a full state ticket. A motion by Jim Harris, of Wagoner, that the vote be unanimous carried. The votes against the ticket were: Alfalfa 21, Blaine 6, Carter 2, Creek2, Grady 7, Greer 11, Harper 12, Haskell 4, Johnston 1, Kingfisher 3, Major 16, Marshall 1, Murray 4, Muskogee 2, McCurtain 11, Mcintosh 2, Oklahoma 23, Okmulgee 10, Pontotoc 4, Pottowatomie 8, Stephens 3, Tulsa 1, Wagoner, 29, Washita 1, Woods 24 and Lincoln 36.

T.—The Creek national council is in sessoin at Okmulgee, the capital of the nation, in response to a call of that body by Principal Chief P. Porter, for the purpose of indorsing the McCumber amendment, which extends the restrictions of the lands of the full blood Indians for twenty-five years, and which is now being contested in the court of claims, on the ground that it is unconstitutional, in that the government has no right to change the treaties made between the Indians and the government without the consent of the Indians. Frightened over an epidemic of typhoid fever, citizens of Hobart are now doing their utmost to enforce sanitation. M'KINLEY MONUMENT To Be Dedicated in Buffalo Sept. 8. Former Residents Invited. The beautiful white marble shaft erected by the state of New York in Niagara Square, Buffalo, N. Y., to the memory of President McKinley, is to be formally dedicated Thursday, Sept. 5, and the event will be the central feature of Buffalo's Old Home Week, Sept. 1 to 7. Former residents of Buffalo and the public at large are cordially invited to attend the dedication. THE OWL OF MEMORIAM The McKinley monument was planned and executed under the direction of a commission of prominent men, at a cost of $150,000. Gov. Charles E. Hughes, with his military staff, will take part in the ceremonies and President Roosevelt and former President Grover Cleveland have been invited to attend and speak. Military parades will be a feature of the occasion. Too Much Exposure. Elsie is a laundress of color. She is well past youth, wears a parennial smile and sports a single front tooth of much prominence. Recently she missed one of her visits to a patron, and when she next put in an appearance she was suffering from a bad cold. When asked how she took such a serious cold she said: "During the recent festivities our club gave a ball. The gentleman what's paying attention to me is very particular, so I had to go in full evening dress, and I had to leave off a few pieces, and it got me." 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. Queer Idea of Enjoyment. Dr. Juliet Severance writes in the Vegetarian Magazine: "I am often reminded of a clinic case brought before the class when I was in medical college in 1858. The man had gout and rheumatism, both the small and large joints being immovable, and his suffering was severe. Dr. R. T. Trall, professor of theory and practice, was explaining to us the importance of a very strict and abstemious diet. The poor fellow tried vainly to turn his head, and grunted out: 'I can't go that; I want to enjoy life while I do live.'" 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. Much Money for Travel. New York city's surface, elevated and subway railroad system receives a daily average of one and one-quarter cent from each inhabitant of the city. TIRED BACKS. The kidneys have a great work to do in keeping the blood pure. When they get out of order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness languor and distressing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these sufferings will be saved you. Mrs. S.A. Moore, proprietor of a restaurant at Waterville. Mo., says: "Be- A fore using Doan's Kidney Pills I suffered everything from kidney troubles for a year and a half. I had pain in the back and head, and almost continuous in the loins and felt weary all the time. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills brought great relief, and I kept on taking them until in a short time I was cured. I think Doan's Kidney Pills are wonderful."

"If you want to tell whether or not the man you are talking to is telling the truth don't look him in the eyes," said a Denver bank teller to some friends. "It is the voice, when you don't look at the eyes, that tells you whether the other fellow is lying. We use the system frequently in the bank. A man will come in to tell us some business tale. We look at his feet or his hands or his knees, but never in his eyes. If he's telling the truth his voice will be firm and straightforward, and the absence of your gaze in his eyes will not affect it. But if he's lying he'll be confused by your action, and his voice will tremble; he'll hem and haw, and clear his throat. You may rest assured then that he's stringing you." FEARFUL BURNING SORES. Boy in Misery 12 Years—Eczema in Rough Scales. Itching and Inflamed—Cured by Cuticura. "Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up. I decided to give Cuticura a trial. When I had used the first box of Cuticura Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Remedies my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7 Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 1905." Of Course. "What makes you so absent minded?" "Well, I stopped to think one day—" "Yes?" "And my thoughts ran on and on—" "Well?" "And I haven't caught up with 'em yet."—Cleveland Leader. Makes Pain Go Away.

To those who earn their own way by their own labor, accidents occur with painful frequency. Burns, bruises, cuts and sprains are not strangers to the man who wears corns on his hands. A better remedy for these troubles does not exist than Hunt's Lightning Oil. If a man occasionally tells a woman how pretty she looks she will forgive most of the other lies he tells her. Watching the Knife Play. "There is an awful fascination about seeing people eat with their knives." said he who has just spent a week on the farm for this health, with a retrospective look in his eyes. "A knife is such an unexpected instrument. You never know just where it is going to strike. You can't keep your eyes off. You are afraid to look for fear it might slip and cut the mouth half in two, and you are afraid if you don't look it might happen and you won't get to see it." Making a Good Start. Doctor — Madam, your husband must have absolute rest. Madam—Well, doctor, he won't listen to me— Doctor—A very good beginning, madam—a very good beginning.—Stray Stories. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron. Assumes All Blame. "Well, there's one thing about Nuritch; he's always ready to confess his faults." "Nonsense! why he's forever bragging about being self-made." "Of course. That's just it."

Why does nearly all the civilized world wash clothes on Monday? What has Monday to do with washing? It was originally the moon's day and was sacred to the queen of night. I read in a schoolboy's history that the Pilgrims landed on Monday and the good women immediately set about washing the clothes that had been soiled on the trip over. We might judge from that alleged fact that no washing was done aboard ship; yet the finest place for such necessary work of sanitation and blessedness is out at sea where there is plenty of water and nearly always a drying wind. The voyage of the little Mayflower lasted 63 days, I believe, and as nearly as we can now reckon the landing was made at Plymouth Rock on a Monday, though some historians insist on Friday. It must have been a vile and flithy vessel on arrival, with 102 passengers and crew going over two months without washing their linen. Linen? What did they wear in 1620? Can you realize how big was the Mayflower? A miserable little bark of 160 tons (Capt. John Smith) or 180 tons (according to Bradford). Productivity of the Hen. "How many eggs is a hen wound up to lay during the term of her natural life, do you suppose?" said the man who has investigated. "No idea, eh? Well, sir, a good, healthy hen—not speaking of any particular star breed, but just hen—a good, healthy hen does not fulfill her destin, until she has turned out 600 eggs—50 dozen. That's what nature has fitted up a hen to do in the way of eggs, and she gives her eight years to do it in." —Washington Post. Gave Her Away. The family were discussing the prospective wedding of the only daughter. "Of course," said the bride-to-be to her father. "you will give me away?" "I'm afraid I have done it already, my dear," he replied. "I told George only this morning that you had a disposition just like your mother's." Brains are Built from certain kinds of FOOD Try Grape-Nuts "America has become a land of nervous emotionalists, largely owing to our sins against the dietetic health laws of nature. "Only outdoor exercise in a cold climate would enable vigorous individuals of our species to digest the viands forced upon alimentary organs enfeebled by sedentary occupations," wrote Dr. Felix Oswald. Brain workers must have different food than laborers, because brain work uses up parts of the brain and nerve centers, while physical labor uses up other parts of the body. Grape-Nuts, a food for brain workers, prepared by scientific food makers, is a pure, natural food made from selected parts of field grains known to contain the natural phosphate of potash and other elements required by the system in rebuilding and repairing the brain and nerve centers. This food is skillfully cooked at the factory and is ready to be served instantly with cream. At all first-class grocers and made by the Postum Co., at Battle Creek, Mich.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE REMARKABLE GROWTH OF AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTION AT STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA The Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college is one of the so-called land grant colleges established for the various states by the act of congress of July 2, 1862, and subsequent acts. The provisions of these acts were assented to by the Oklahoma assembly in 1890, and the college located at Stillwater. The growth of the institution has been in keeping with the rapid growth of Oklahoma. The first building of the college was erected in 1894. The institution now has ten chief buildings valued at $207,500, and appliances for instruction valued at $150,000. Including the campus and farm, the plant represents an expenditure by the territory and the national government of nearly $400,000. There are thirty-two instructors, and the enrollment last year was over nine hundred. The college offers facilities for a practical, scientific and technical education. Its graduates in scientific lines, and in mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering have had remarkable success in securing and holding positions in the government service and in industrial and manufacturing enterprises, and the demand for them far exceeds the supply. In addition to the general scientific courses, the college offers also a science and literature course designed to meet the needs of those who wish a general collegiate education, and to afford young women thorough and extensive training in domestic economy. The general courses of the institution are as follows; a) Agriculture one week, ten weeks, forty weeks, five years; (b) engineering—mechanical, electrical, and civil; (c) applied science—chemistry, botany, zoology, etc.; (d) science and literature—a well-selected general course in scientific and literary studies; (e) domestic economy—including literary and scientific studies and preparing if desired, for teaching all branches of household science; (f) business—bookkeeping, typewritng, stenography, etc. Graduates of the common schools or of the eighth grade may enter the sub-freshman class without examination; students who have completed the tenth grade of the high school may enter the freshman class and graduates of approved high schools may enter the sophomore class. The fall term will begin September 10, 1907. Tuition is free to students from Oklahoma and Indian Territory. catalogue giving complete information may be obtained by addressing President A. C.

Six cars were hired, and with a band playing "The British Grenadiers" the party merrily bowled along at 12 miles an hour, flowers were scattered by the funeral party as they proceeded rapidly on their way, to the great delight of the children en route. A Burman never makes a melancholy party at a funeral, but this is the first time in the history of Rangoon that electric cars have been hired for a funeral procession ALL WOMEN SUFFER from the same physical disturbances, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drift them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, organic troubles, ulceration, falling and displacements, or perhaps irregularity or suppression causing backache, nervousness, irritability, and sleeplessness.

He also gloats over the fact of his using the Negro delegates from this county to carry his point, The Democrats know that this is a Republican county and they are watching the Republicans closely so as to be ready to take advantage of any mistakes we may make. We can win if we have harmony. Can harmony be had? The defeat of the proposition to put four Negroes on the state Committee can be traced to the doors of some of the white politicians of this county acting in conjunction with some of their Colored tools. The story as we have heard it will be given next week. Every person who is interested in the success of the Republican ticket should send a dollar or more at once to chairman C. E. Hunter, Oklahoma City, for which a campaign text book and other literature will be sent. The Republican campaign headquarters at Oklahoma City for the next six weeks will be the busiest place on earth, A Republiban victory on September the 17th will be worth $100,000,000 to the new state. The Republican ticket represents every part of the two territories. It represents the choice of the people and not a place on the ticket was bought. Remember this is not only a campaign on state issues, but national issues as well. Not only are we to elect a state ticket but five representatives and a legislature which will choose two United States senators. We want men at Washington who will have influence and be able to get results, they must be Republicans. A Democratic senator or representative at Washington will be of no use to the new state of Oklahoma, The Republicans have shown themselves to be a party of the people, The people put every name on the ticket from top to bottom. The people made the policy and the platform adopted at Tulsa, and it is the people who will elect Frank Frantz governor and the entire ticket. In cities of 2500 and over the law requires the voters to register. This means that unless you register you loose your vote. The Colored voters should begin now to register and don't put off. as delays are dangerous. This does not refer to country precincts as the voters who live in the country do not have to register. 50.00 Negroes will vote against the constitution and unless some good work is done half of them will not vote any ticket. Now is the time to get busy. The Colored man should have been represented on the ticket as justice of the peace for they offered a competent man. Register and vote against the constitution if you go no further. Eevery man should register and see that his neighbor registers as we shall need every vote. Do it now. Go and see recorder Campbell. The Republican ticket is composed entirely of white men; now where is the Negro domination? The Democratic ticket is also composed of white and now it therefore appears that there should be no mud slinging as both tickets are composed of gentlemen. There are many sore spots to heal and the doctors should get work. Jim Smith, the committee man from No. 2. 76 District, and Mr. Ewell in District No. 8 and many others are dissatisfied with the failure to nominate Mr. McRea and with the forcibly taking of their delegations and the disfranchising of voters in their precincts. The party leaders must get busy if these men and their friends are to be saved to the party. The rank and the file wanted a new convention but when the news came from the State Committee saying that the time would not permit then the delegates grew wild for a ticket and one was nominrted.

Bert Greer with the stench of Democracy still clinging to him was a high private in the recent Republican convention. If we can cure some sore spots we can win every man on the ticket, otherwise we shall lose some of them. Frank Reed did not run the conventioe, he ran only the cold drink headquarters prior to the convention. The Negro stood a poor show at the Republican convention. He was not even put on as temporary chairman or any old thing. We hope different tactics will be adopted in the campaign. The steal of the votes of delegates in two precints defeated some candidates who may have been nominated and elected and would have added strength to our ticket. If our party will just get the leaders busy among the masses we can. There is not a Republican who will bolt or sulk. There is not a man on the ticket who needs defense or apology. From top to bottom the ticket is composed of able, clean, earnest men worthy the support of every Republican and thousands of Democrats. The Rebublican platform will not have to be made over. It means what it says and says what it means. At the Negro caucus, A. V. Jones, A. S. McRea, L. A. Bell asd Prof, Leftwich were too much for Sango and Reed. The latter found out that bluffing would not do and then right prevailed. Leftwich makes an ideal chairman. What beauty is more desirable than an exquisite complexion and elegant jewels?

TER. The farmer who is not an amateur (s really an increasing factor into-day's Ufe. In fact, farming is rapidly be- coming one of the professions. We have our agricultural schools, just as we have our law schools. It is get- ting to be a business as well, remarks The World To-Day. Farmers have their trusts, like other manufacturers. it is a far cry from the New England farmer, tr¥ing to arrange an exploded granite quarry into a stone wall that he may have room In which to plant his crop, and that master of capital, science and black garth ten feet deep who plows with ‘a traction engine and reaps with a ten-horse team, And be- tween these two types of farmers the drift is steadily toward the latter. The comic paper does not laugh at the “granger” as frequently as it used to laugh. It wants his subscription. The capitalist does not foreclose mortgages on the prairie farm now. He borrows money of its owner... . The farm is the nursery of individualism. If you are a cliff-dweller in the city send your boy there this summer, and let him see what it means to create wealth with the help of nature rather than with the ticker. You will help make him a better American. Half a Billion for Bridges. Everybody thinks of New York as the city of big constructive perform- ances, and ft never disappoints. Here) we find big men with big brains and unlimited capital. As one prodigious example, plans are now under way by jwhich within a few years eight mam- moth bridges, affording by far the Greatest centralized traffic factlities in the world, will yoke Manhattan island ‘to its suburban shores, says Broadway ‘Magazine. At least one of these big bridges wil! exceed in size the famous iForth cantilever bridge in Scotland, mow the largest on the globe; another Will excel in capacity the old Brook- jyn bridge, which now has the largest bridge traffic in the world. The big: gest bridge, which, of course, will Span the noble Hudson, may cost any- where betweeen $60,000,000 and $100,- 000,000, while the other structures will run the aggregate cost of New York's bridges up to about $250,000,- 000, About 1915 New York's total bill for bridges and tunnels will approxt- mate a round half billion of dollars— all spent to aid transportation in and out of the first city in America, ‘ Those persons who live fn the very heart of charming rural simplicity oan't help thinking as they see the summer boarders coming out where it ja hot and dusty what a fine time a person could have spending a vaca- tton in an ice cream parlor with elec- tric fans running in every corner, A tablet in commemoration of the author of “Darling Nellie Gray” was unveiled in Ohio a few days ago. The author of “A Hot Time in the Old ‘Town To-Night” is still unhonored by tablet or monument, Mark Twain is sald to have ex- pressed a desire for a funeral proces- sion five miles long, and as he will be in no hurry to reach the cemetery he'll probably want to occupy the last carriage in the line. Having succeeded in getting the douma off his hands the czar will bave nothing to do for the next few months but keep cool and avoid the bomb throwers. THE NEW YORK LIFE’8 PROGRAM. Economy, Publicity and the Paramount Interest of Policyholders. President Kingsley, of the New York Life Insurance Company, says, in an address to the policyholders, that his plan of administration in- volves these points: “First: Strict economy; second, the widest, fairest and fullest public ity; third, the continuance of the New York Life as a world-wide Institution; fourth, such an amount of new bust- ness under the law as we can secure while practicing intelligent economy, and enforcing the idea that the inter est of the policy-holder is paramount.” Close Confinement. The new phonograph had just ar- rived, and in her husband’s absence, Mrs. Jones thought she would give her parrot a treat, so she set the machine working on a record of “In Old Ma- drid,” sung by Mr. Jones in his best style. At the very first bar Polly opened her eyes in surprise, and rocked her- self to and fro in deep and speechless wonder. She was evidently thinking deeply, and her excitement was intense. She cocked her head on one side, with an expression that indicated interested conjecture, and irritation at not ar- riving at a satisfactory conclusion. As the song finished, an idea dawned upon her “Well,” said Mrs. Jones with pride, “what do you think of that, Polly?” Then the bird found words: “Great Scot!” she shrieked. “You've Got the old man boxed up this time® Concerning His Business. A Boston lawyer, who brought his wit from his native Dublin, while cross-examining the plaintiff in a di- vorce trial, brought forth the follow- ing: “You wish to divorce this woman because she drinks?” “Yes, sir.” “Do you drink yourself?” “That's my business!”—angrily. Whereupon the unmoved lawyer asked: “Have you any other business?” Everybody's, SOAKED IN COFFEE Until Too Stiff to Bend Over. “When I drank coffee I ofted had sick headaches, nervousness and bil- jousness much of the time, but when I went to visit a friend I got in the habit of drinking Postum. “I gave up coffee entirely and the re- sult has been that | have been eutire- ly relieved of all my stomach und ner- vous trouble, “My mother was just the same way. We all drink Postum now, and with- out coffee in the house for 2 years, we are all well. “A neighbor of mine, a great coffee drinker, Was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an invalid. She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes or do any- thing at all where she would have to bend forward, If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of the day. “At last I persuaded her to stop drinking coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so and has used Postum ever since; the result has been that she can now do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend and can sew on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain in her side, in fact, she has got well and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trou. ble. “I could also tell you about several other neighbors who have been cured by quitting coffee and using Postum 4a its place”. “There's a Reason.” Look in pkg. for the famous little book, “The Road te Wellville.” Cre See al)?

After using bean poles, slat frames, and wooden trellises of one kind or another for years; until the supply of poles was exhausted and prices for wooden frames became prohibitive, I began using a combined wire and string trellis, such as is shown by the drawing, says a writer in Farming. This arrangement serves equally as well for either beans tomatoes, peas, cucumbers (under glass), or other climbing plants, being especially de- sirable for sweet peas, nasturtiums, A a 5 eee — YG XY Combined Wire and String Trellis. fancy gourds, etc. It is desirable, too, because all of the material used in its construction, with the exception of the string, may be used year after year. Those who have never trellised up their: tomatoes, either for home use or for a select market supply, do not realize what a very considerable gain in yleld and quality is secured by this method. I do not hesitate to say that under ordinary conditions I have been able to more than double the yleld, and in some cases triple the marketable product, over the bush method, to say nothing of the in- crease in quality, which invariably se- cures for the grower the top of the market, it being possible to secure an earlier and more even ripening and greater uniformity in the size of the fruit; all of which are desirable factors in gardening for profit. In tying up, many of the bloomless lat- erals may be cut out, giving the main vine more strength and allowing the sun readier access to the fruit to hast- en ripening. Trellised fruit is always bright and clean, and almost exempt from blight and rot. In planting to matoes for trellising the plants are set at less than half the distance usual when grown in the ordinary way. This trellis may be made to cover almost any length of row; the longer the “run” the stronger the end posts and the “dead-man” or guy post will need to be. The end posts should be solid and about nine feet long, so they may be set two and a half or three feet in the ground, or even deeper, depending on length of row, with at least six feet above ground—this height applies especially to the tall growing lima and string beans. It is best to sharpen and drive the post, but if set in hole tamp firmly, and plant a dead-man eight or ten feet from post in line of row. This may be a large stone or chunk of wood, burled deep enough to hold the strain, The dead-man and top post are connected by two doubled strands of heavy wire, that may be twisted with a stick in the centter totake up any slack remaining after wires are stretched and remedy any sag from strain after vines grow heavy. Stretch the bottom wires first, ten to 14 inches from the ground, and se- curely fasten, Next stretch the top wire five and a half to six feet from ground, taking extra care to have it as taut as it can be made. Drive stakes or strips one by two inches firmly in the ground along the line of wire every twenty to thirty feet and staple both top and bottom wires to them. These serve to support the weight of crop and hold the trellis against winds. Just before the vines are ready for the first tying put on the string, or trellis proper. I prefer some soft string, such as wool twine, which af- fords the tendril of the plant a firm hold beside being cheap. The distance that these strings are spaced apart at top and bottom will depend on the crop to be trellised; ten to twelve inches for beans, when plated in drills and 18 to 20 inches for toma- toes, for which a heavier twine should be used. In passing over the wire the twine must be knotted to make it cling to one place, else the first gust of wind will blow it into bunches and so make it worthless. The knot that I use is simple, after one gets the “hang” of the twist. Pass the twine up over the wire, carry the ball over the opposite side and down, then up and over both the wire and the string just laid over, then down and through the loop left large enough for the pur- pose and draw taut, when yiu will have a simple crossed knot on top, not under the wire, that will depend for its security on the ®.utness of the string. The same sort of knot ts made at bottom, except that the move- ment is reversed. Since I have had considerable trouble caused by the slipping of the string as a result of careless workmen, I suggest that enough pains be taken with this part of the work to insure the permanency of the twine when once placed. If you will try one of these easily made trel- lises you will find that the satisfac- tion and ease with which you are able to gather the crop will more than pay for the trouble and slight expense in putting it up.

If the hogs are in a dry pen, start in by feediag them a little green clover at once. As soon as the corn is hip high, give them a little of it to eat. Jt may not add a single ounce of flesh to their carcasses, but it will accustom them to eating it so they can be fed a great deal of green corn when it becomes large enough. The one great mistake in feeding green corn is that the change from dry feed to it is made too quickly, By start. ing in gradually now with corn and green clover, this rapid change can be avoided.

OLD SORES FED AND KEPT OPEN BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD Whenever a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is not pure and healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed middle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated. Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore. The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one.

Clipped from Phoenix of September 25, 1906. The Resolutions Were Written by C. B. Douglas, Himself and Presented to 11 Other Editors Who Voted FOR Them. We, the members of the republican Press Association of the Third Congressional District declare as follows: Whereas there is an apparent misunderstanding existing among the voters of the district as to the position of the party on the so-called race question, and. Whereas, the republican party has DISCHARGED its OBLIGATIONS to the NEGRO in that it gives him full civil rights, equal with every other citizen and still stands for that policy. Therefore, be it resolved by this association that the republican party of the Third Congressional District is OPPOSED to NEGRO DOMINATION in any sense. That it stands for separate schools, SEPARATE COACHES and SEPARATE WAITING ROOMS for NEGROES which shall have equal facilities and comforts of those furnished other races. That it is opposed and WILL USE EVERY MEANS at its command to PREVENT the nomination of negroes on any elective ticket, seeking the suffrage of the other races. On this declaration of principle all classes and all nationalities of citizenship are earnestly invited to allign themselves with the party of progress and prosperity. C. B.
