VOL. XXIII. SIX MONTHS' TRIAL Of the New Passenger Rates Must Be Given By Central. NO INJUNCTION GRANTED Judge Newman's Decision in Famous Case Leaves Matter Still Open. Governor Cannot Be Made Par- Judge Newmann of the United States district court, at Atlanta, Saturday night, filed with Clerk Fuller his decree in the petition of the Central of Georgia railroad against the Georgia Railroad Commission, S. G. McLendon, H. W. Hill, et al, for an injunction against the order of the railroad commission putting into effect circular 334. The petiteon is neither denied nor granted, Judge Newman declaring it advisable to allow the conditions now obtaining to continue for six months time from September 2, during which the problem at issue may solve itself to the satisfaction of both parties. On June 7 last the Georgia railroad commission promulgated circular 334. That circular provided that local passenger rates, then 3 cents a mile, should be reduced on the Central to 2-12 cents a mile, the order to become effective on September 2, 1907. The same circular affected other lines than the Central in the state. Request to amend the bill by making the governor and the secretary railroad commission parties caused a fixed hearing to be. When the case was finally ted during the early part of Oct Judge Newman, it had been fully and at length by some of the most distinguished lawyers in south. It was then up to Judge N man to either grant or deny the tion. He did neither. He determined that time was the essential feature. Time would determine whether or not the rate fixed by the commission was sufficient. Paying a compliment to the attorney on both sides, Judge Newman says that "the entire case has been argued with thoroughness, and very great ability. The argument has been worthy of the very important issues involved." In disposing of the amendment making the governor a party to the suit, Judge Newman bigs his ruling "upon the proposition that to do so would make the proceedings a suit against the state or Georgia inviolation of the eleventh amendment to the constitution of the United States." In formulating his opinion, Judge Newman makes frequent reference to cases more or less similar which have gone through the federal courts, and in each reference finds solid endorsement for his ruling. Judge Newman's opinion may be briefly summarized in its essential points as follows: 1. He holds that the governor cannot be made a party to the suit. 2. He does not think that the attorney general may be made a proper party to the suit, and, so far as he is concerned, sustains the demurrer of the state's counsel. 3. He holds that there is no doubt that the railroad commission is subject to injunction in the orders that it may issue. 4. The special attorney of the railroad commission is not a necessary party to the suit, but he may be a proper party to the suit. 6. The fact that the commission has put an order into effect does not prevent an injunction being taken against it. 7. The claim of the roads' attorneys that enormous losses would result from the order remaining in effect is not, holds the court, well pleaded, because, as the opinion states, this is a mere conjecture. 8. In this connection Judge Newman suggests that the only way of determining whether or not the rates are confiscatory is by trial, and he suggests six months as a period of time in which to try the rules. However, he suggests if on January 1st next the attorneys wish to resume a hearing of their bill for a hearing of their bill for injunction he will hear them. 10. In dealing with the facts alleged in the case, Judge Newman considers solely the allegations of the road, as set forth in the bill, and does not undertake to decide the facts for himself, in this opinion. 11. He withholds decision on the merits of the case. LITIGATION IN ALABAMA Will Be Subject of Conference to Be Held Shortly Between Governor Comer and State's Attorneys. Argument on the restraining order issued by Judge Thomas G. Jones at Montgomery upon bills filed by the Louisville and Nashville and allied lines and made returnable, December 2, has been postponed and attorney's for the state granted further time. A conference will be held between attorneys for the state in the pending litigation and Governor Cornell at the conference a day will be determined upon at which the arguments will be made. This will be on some ray between December 15 and 20. Attorney General Garber, Judge S.D. Weakley and Horace Stingfellow of counsel for the state held a conference in Montgomery Friday over the pending litigation. After their conference Attorney General Garber called on Judge Jones and asked that the state be given further time, as it could not properly make an answer in the short time allotted. This was granted and the understanding was reached that the restraining order and the hearing of the supplemental bills would come up for argument on some day between December 15 and 20. Governor Comer returned to Montgomery Friday night from his hunting trip. He positively declined to discuss the litigation saying that he had not communicated with his office and had not read the newspapers in four days. Governor Comer was besieged by reporters. He could not discuss the order of Jones because he did not know not about it. He had been hunted had not even read the papers could see the attorneys for he could not sty what course could pursue. A. Washington dispatched senator J. H. Foraker made the nearly known Friday that he will contest the Ohio delegation to the republican national convention with Mr. Taft. This decision is contained in a letter to Conrad J. Mattert, vice president of the Ohio Republican League, who forwarded Mr. Foraker a copy of resolutions adopted by the advisory and executive committee of the league indorsing Mr. Foraker for the senatorship and for the presidential nomination. Senator Foraker says he is gratified by the indorsement of the committee at this time, because it is a flat rebuke to the suggestion that the office of United States senator is not to be stripped of all the real honor attached to it by making its incumbent a mere agent to register the decrees of somebody else. On this point Foraker says: "I do not want to even appear to be a candidate for two offices at the same time, and therefore forego the double honor proposed and with heartfelt appreciation accept the support for the presidential candidacy which the committee has so generously tendered." New Orleans Newspapers May Be Indicted by Grand Jury. Following a crusade started against racing in New Orleans, Federal Judge Sanders, in his charge to the United States grand jury, Friday, called attention to newspapers publishing "tips" on races, and said that if they were paid for it they should be indicted and prosecuted. By publishing this matter and sending it through the malls, the newspapers are guilty of furthering plans for the obtaining of money under false pretenses, he declared. Tobacco Company Gives Bond for Over Eight Million Cigarettes. Bond covering their value at $7,272, having been given for the release of 8,750,000 cigarettes for export to London and Singapore, seized at New York, for the alleged violation of the anti-trust laws, the United States marshal is directed by decree of Federal Judge Waddill received, from Richmond, Va., to release the seizures upon order of the British-American Tobacco company. SAVANNAH. GA.. SACURDAY. DECEMBER 7. 1907. THE MESSAGE READ Only Feature of Second Day's Session of Congress. A LENGTHY DOCUMENT Two Hours and a Quarter Consumed In Its Readings and Attention The annual message of President Roosevelt was read Tuesday in both houses of congress, and practically no business was attempted by either party beyond listening to the message. The galleries of the senate and the house were crowded at the beginning of the session of each body, but as the reading progressed the attendance diminished somewhat. In the main, however, it was well maintained until the last sentence of the document had fallen from the lips of the official readers. Senators and members were supplied with printed copies of the message and many of them following the reading class with scupnulous care. The reading consumed about two and a quarter hours in each of the houses. The house did not follow up the lead of Monday in the matter of introduction of many bills, but some measure were presented. In the senate so far no bills have been introduced but there is scarcely a senator whose desk is not well covered with these documents. The speaker Cannon treated the house to a slight surprise in announcing the membership of the committee on banking and currency. This advance formation of that committee led to the conclusion on the part of many that it was his intention to press financial legislation, but those who are close to the speakers say that his only purpose wa sto afford a depository for petitions and letters bearing upon the currency question. Both the house and senate adjourned after conclusion of the reading of the message. The adjournment was until Thursday. Mr. Gore and Mr. Owen, the two gentlemen chosen by primary election to represent the new state of Oklahoma in the senate, appeared on the floor of the senate, and occupied the seats set apart for them, for some time, listening to the president's message. This was a plain extension of what is known as senatorial courtesy, inasmuch as neither senator has yet been legally elected to serve in the senate. Before the reading of the president's message, Speaker Cannon announced that he had received a communication that ordinarily he would refer to a committee, after the organization of the house, but he thought it so important he would have it read at once. The paper proved to be a telegram from the Oklahoma legislature to the house of representatives: "Oklahoma's first state legislature," it stated, "just organized by the fond reality of local self-government, sends greeting to the sixtieth congress of the greatest nation on earth and conveys to her sister states a message of progress and prosperity and loyal devotion to the union and the common good." The speaker himself read this message in an impressive manner, and as he concluded the house broke into applause. BONANZA FOR SAFE BLOWERS. Second Robbery in Four Days in South Carolina Town. Safe-crackers blew the safe and cleaned out the postoffice at Pelzer, S.C., the big mill town Monday night. This is the second safe blowing in that neighborhood within four days. It is not known how much money the gang got on this occasion, but it is understood they cleaned up the office. Naval Stores Operators Denied New Trial in Peonage Case. Thomas and J. B. Graham, prominent naval stores operators of south Alabama, convicted in the United States court at Pensacola, Fla., after trials on charges of peonage, were denied a new trial Saturday. Thomas Graham was sentenced to serve thirteen months in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., and to pay a fine of $500. J. B. Graham was sentence to six months in jail and given a fine of $500. GEORGIA BOOMING Tax Values in State Increase $12,725,985. FLATTERING CONDITIONS Shown by Figures Just Compiled In Office of Comptroller General. Other Interesting Features An increase of $32,725,985 in the taxable values of property in the state of Georgia is shown in the tabulated statement just compiled in the office of Comptroller General W. A. Wright by Captain "Tip" Harrison, and shows that the last year saw the state grow rich indeed. This is the gain after the tax books from 145 counties in the state had been checked up, verified and added up. In addition to these totals, the statement is replete with interesting data which shows the prosperity which visited the state up to the time the tax books closed in the spring. According to this book, there are 211,085 white polls in the state and 116,041 colored polls. Just now much these lattog figures will be reduced in the event. the disfranchisement amendment is carried at the next election remains to be seen. This book, too, shows that there are 1,041 white defaulters in the state and 4,143 colored. Captain Harrison has also tabulated the number of professional men registered for taxation in Georgia, and his list shows that there are one-third more physicians than lawyers in the state. There are 2,462 physicians, 1,877 lawyers, 451 dentists, 30 veterinary surgeons, 36 architects, 54 engravers, 152 presidents and corporations and 11 superintendents of corporations. When it comes down to the question of lands, this statement shows that there are 31,171,072 acres of improved land in the state, valued at $164,644,712, and 4,474,124 acres of wild land, valued at $4,728,572, making a total of 35,945,196 acres of land, with a total value of $169,373,284. The aggregate value of the city property is placed at $169,770,647. The total value of all property in the state is $575,978,707, which will yield the state in taxes $3,268,294.20. WON'T LEAVE JACKSONVILLE. American Naval Stores Company Re- sidential Forces Widow's considers Expressed Withdrawal. Announcement was made in Savannah, Ga., Friday that the American Naval Stores company had reconsidered its expressed determination to withdraw its buying from Jacksonville, Fla., thus breaking up the factoraga business of that city, unless it should develop that an exporting com- to begin operations there. This means Jacksonville has an open market for retail stores. Some time ago, the company was created in Jacksonville, the naval stores circle by the announcement that the American Naval Stores company would withdraw from there on account of a lack of adequate banking facilities. December was the date named for that withdrawal. Now arrangements for continuance have been made and the business will go on just as in the past. UNIVERSITIES BLAMED For the Spread of Agnosticism In This Country. That the growth of agnosticism in America is directly traceable to the universities of the country was the statement made by Rev. Brann, at the dedication of the new church of St. Monica in New York. He especially mentioned Columbia and, Harvard universities. Visits: New, Haven on Double.

Henry B. Stegall, solicitor of the third circuit, with residence at Ozark, Ala., has been cited to appear before Thomas G. Jones, judge of the United States court for the middle circuit, sitting in the railroad injunction cases at Montgomery as judge of the fifth circuit, and show cause why he should no be adjudged in contempt, it being alleged by Deputy Marshal William Pulliam that Mr. Stegall threatened to have him arrested when he went to his office to serve the orders of the court in railroad injunction petitions. Mr. Stegall is ordered to appear in Montgomery and show cause why he should not be adjudged guilty of contempt for his alleged misbehavior towards said deputy marshal, as set forth in his affidavit. The clerk of court has issued the order, and the district attorney is called upon to prosecute the case. In the order it is said that it seems to the court that, unexplained, a prima facie case is shown of criminal contempt of the authority of the court. Deputy Marshal Pulliam makes affidavit that when he went to serve the orders at Ozark, he called upon and was received courteously by the clerk, who accepted an acknowledged service. He then asked that he be introduced to Mr. Stegall, which was done by the clerk, the solicitor being found in the office of the probate judge. Pulliam alleges he said to the solicitor: "I have a paper I want to serve on you," and that Stegall replied, "No, I will not accept it," and that thereupon the solicitor said: "The sheriff wants to see you;" and, addressing Pulliam further, either said "I am going to have him arrest you," or "He is going to arrest you," or words to that effect. Mr. Pulllam swears that then some friends of Mr. Stegall told him to go on and accept the service, which he did. The deputy thanked the solicitor, and marked his papers served. After that Pulllam returned to Montgomery and reported the incident to Marshal Judkins, who, in turn, made to the court, following which the judge made out of which the order came. Mr. Steen will be held, if found to be guilty, the execution of the sentence statutes given in the sentence of punishable offences, and the execution of the sentence of punishable offences, and six months' imprisonment. The sentence of execution will be gall and serious in the case of the public sentime, and the litigation of the sentence of execution will be said to be serious in the case of all cases of the execution of the sentence of punishment, and serious in the case of the court in the future. BRYAN GIVEN AN OVATION. Nebraskan Appears on Floor of House at Opening of Congress. William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska was given a notable reception when he appeared on the floor of the house of representatives at the opening session. The greeting was spoanteous and vociferous, and amounted to an ovation. The special significance of the reception was in the fact that Mr. Bryan has hied himself to Washington during the congressional session for the past six years, but on no former occasion did the reception tendered him equal that accorded him on this occasion. The galleries joined in the demonstration, and several republicans did likewise. Mr. Bryan, as an ex-member of the house, was entitled to the privileges of the floor. CULBERSON IS CHOSEN By Democrats as Minority Leader on Floor of Senate A Washington special says. The democratic senators held a conference after the adjournment of the senate Tuesday and elected Senator Culberson of Texas chairman of the democratic caunis. This position carries the nominal leadership of the minority on the floor of the senate Senator McCreary of Kentucky was chosen vice Begins Session at Washington Amidst Great Eclat. Galeries Were Packed to Utmost by Elite of Washington - House Organizes With Re-Election of Speaker Cannon. Congress assembled in its sixtieth session at noon Monday. It was Washington's one great show day of the year. Long before the gavels fell in the senate and house, a stream of people coursed down Pennsylvania avenue, filled the galleries and overflowed into the corridors—a mass of confusion and color. The procedure in the senate was formal and brief. In the house the entire membership had to be sworn in, Speaker Cannon and the other officers had to be re-lected and seats had to be assigned. In the senate Vice President Fairbanks presided, the organization of the senate being continuous. Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the distinguished chaplain of the senate, offered prayer, the roll was called and the vice president announced a quorum present. The swearing in of newly-elected senators was then taken up, after which Sena tor Hale, the master of ceremonies, offered the usual resolution directing the appointment of a committee to act with a committee of the house to walk upon President Rosevelt and inform him that congress was assembled and prepared to receive any communication he might be pleased to make. The coming together for the first time of the men who have been elected to the senate and the house, about one hundred of whom have not before served in congress, made the occasion one of particular interest. The glad hand was extended to the four democratic representatives from Oklahoma who were sworn into their seats in that body, ever, until the formal election by the legislature when they set in January. The striking scenes of the day were in the house of representatives, where the formal selection of Joseph Cannon to again be speaker of that body and the designation by the democrats of Mr. John Sharp Williams as their leader were occasions for ovations for those gentlemen. The vast hall of the house of representatives rang with cheers of republicans and democrats for their leaders, and the speaker received as warm a welcome from members of the minority as he did from his own part. In accepting the speakership Mr. Cannon made a brief-but feeling address. When the adoption of rules for the government of the house during the sixtieth congress came up the rules of the last congress were opposed by John Sharp Williams, and he was joined in that opposition by democrats and by a single republican, Mr. Cooper, of Wisconsin. The old rules were declared to be too autocratic, placing too much power in the hands of the speaker, but, after a somewhat acrimonious discussion, they were adopted by a party vote. Committees were appointed by both houses to inform the president that congress had met and was ready, to receive any message that he might wish to communicate. New senators and representatives were sworn in, and both houses adjourned out of respect to the memory of members who have died during the recess of congress. Senator LaFollette was the first senator to be recognized at the opening proceedings of the upper house, and presented the credenitals of Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin. The vice president ordered that the roll of senators-elect be called alphabetically and they were sworn in by fours, being escorted to the edsk by their colleagues. All of the senators-elect were present in the chamber, except Senator Bankhead of Alabama, who is destained at home by illness. Senator Teller offered resolutions in respect to the memory of the late Senators Morgan and Peitus of Alabama and they were adopted and the senator adjourned at 12:37 p.m. until 12 o'clock Tuesday. long in total Ten Thousand Dollars, and which are held by the State of Georgia, by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly, approved October 22d, 1897, and amended December 20th, 1897. 1 CENT IS ALL IT WILL COST YOU to write for our big FREE BICYCLE catalogue showing the most complete line of high-grade BICYCLES, TIRES and SUNDRIES at PRICES BELOW any other manufacturer or dealer in the world.

If is wise to conserve ‘this virtue and to provide’for its fhllest exercise, compatible with sec- ing- that liberty. does notebecome: a liberty fo wrong others. | Unfortu- nately, this is tho,kind’o? Mberty that tho lack of all effective regulation: inevitably breeds, The founders of the Constitution provided that the ‘National Government should have complete and sole control of inter- state commerce. There was then practically no interstate business save such as was conducted by water, and this the National Government at once proceeded to regulate in thoroughgoing and effective fashion. Conditions have now so wholly changed that the interstate’ commerce by water is insignifieant compared with amount that goes by land, and atmost all big business concerns are now engaged in interstate commerce. ‘As a result, it can be partially and imperfectly gontrolled or regulated by the action of any one of the sey- eral Statea; such action inevitably tending to be either too drastic or lee too lax, and in either case inef- fective for purposes of justice. Only the National Government can in thoroughgoing fashion exercise the needed control. ‘This does not mean that there should be any extension of Federal authority, for such authority already exists under the Constitution in amplest and most far-reaching form; but it does mean that there should be af extension of Federal activity. This is not advocating cen- tralization. It is merely looking facts in the face, and realizing that cen- tralization- in business has already come and cannot be avoided or un- done, and that the public at large ¢an only protect itself from certain evil effects of this business centrali- zation by providing better. methods for the exercise of control through as shown both in the legislation of ‘the Congress and the administration of the law by the Department of Justice. The most vital need is in connection with the railroads. As to these, in my judgment there should now be either a national incorpora- tion act or a law lieening railway companies to engage in interstate commerée-upon certain condifions. The law should be so framed as to give to the Interstate Commerce Commission power to pass upon the future issue of securities, while am- ple, means should be provided to en- ablé, the Commission, whenever in its-judgment it is necessary, to make physical valutation of ‘any .railroadc BS ‘Lcxtated in my}Message to fis Congresiva year aenratrends shot e given powep,to,enter ite agree ments, subject toShaes acral being made publfc in aia gta and’to the consent of the IntéiWats Commerce Commission being’ “first obtained.

When- ever in either there’is evil, it should be promptly held to account; but it should receive hearty encouragement so long as it is properly managed.

To aim at the accom- plishment of too much usually means the accomplishment of too little; and often the doing of positive damage. ‘The antitrust law should not be re- pealed; but it should be made both more efficient and more in harmony with actual conditions, It should be so amended as to forbid only tho kind of combination which does harm to the general public, such amend- ment to be accompanied by, or to be an incident of, a grant of supervi- sory power to the Government ovér these big concerns engaged in inter- state business. This should be ac- companied by provision for the com- pulsory publication of aecounts and the subjection of books and papers to the inspection of the Government officials. A beginning has already been made for such supervision by the establishment of the, Bureau of Corporations. ‘The antitrusP law should not pro- hibit combinations that do no injus- tice to the public, still less those the existence of which is on the whoie of benefit to the public. But even if this feature of the law were abolish- ed, there would remain as an equally objectionable feature the difficulty and delay now incident to its en- forcement. The Government must now submit to irksome and repeated delay before obtaining a final decis- ion of the courts upon proceedings instituted, and even a favorable de- eree niay mean an empty victory. Moreover, to attempt fo control these corporations by lawsuits means to it Post upon both the Department Justice and the courts an impossib] Larder; it is not feasible to carry 6 more than a limited number of su Auits. Such a law to be really ef- fective must of.course be administer ed by an executive body, and not merely Ly means of lawsuits, ‘The design chould be to prevent the abuses incident to the creation of-un- healthy and improper combinations, instead ‘of waitingy until they are in existence and then attempting to de- stroy them by civil or criminal pio- cecdinge. - ‘Pure-Food Law. |, Incidentally, in the passage of the ‘pure-food law the action of the var- ious State food and dairy commis- sioners showed in striking fashion how much good for the whole peo- ple results from: the hearty coopera- tion of tho Federal and State off- cials in securing a given reform. It is primarily to the action of these Stale commissioners that we owe the enaetment of this law; for they aroused the people, first to demand the'enactment-and enforcement of, State laws on the subject, and then the enactment of the Federal law, ‘without which the-State laws were largely ineffective’~“2There must be ‘the closest cooperation between the 'Wational and State governments in administering these laws. S Currency. In mY message to Congress a year ago I spoke as follows of the cur- renéy: |, I especially call your attention to! the condition of our currency Jaws.

This ‘Any plan must, offeourse, guar. the interests of western and wouthern bankers as carefiilly as it guards the interests of New York or Chicago bankers, and must be drawn from the standpoints of the farmer and the merebant no less than from the andpoints of the city banker aud country banker.’? SME again urge on the Congress the of immediate attention to this tter. We need a greater elactic- AR in our currency; provided, of course, that we recognize the even gtéater need of a safe and secure eurrehcy. There must always be the mostiyrigid examination by the, Nat- ional fauthorities. Provision should bo made for an emergency currency. The emérgency issue should, of course be made%with an effective guaranty, and upon ¢onditions carefully pre- scribed bySthe Government. Such emergency-issue must be based on adequate. seguritits approved by. the Government? and must be issued un- der a heavy tax, This would permit currency. being issued when the de- mand for,it was urgent, while seeur- ing its retirement as the demand fell off. It is}rorth investigating to de- termine whigther officers and direc- tors of national banks should ever be allowed to loan to themselves Trust companies should be subject to the same supervision as banks; legis- lation to this effect should “be enacted for the District of Columbia and the Territories. ~ Enforcement of the Law. ~ A few years ago there was loud complaint that the law could not be invoked against wealthy offenders. There is no such complaint now. The course of the Department of Tustieo| during the Inst few years bas been suchsas to make it evident that no! man stands above the law, that no corporation is so wealthy that it can not be held to account. The De- partment of Justice has been as Prompt to. proceed against the svealthiest malefactor whose crime was one of greed and cunning as to Proceed against the agitator who in- cites to brutal violence. Everything that can be done under the existing law, and with the existing staté of| public opinion, which so profoundly influences both the courts and juries, bas been done. But the laws them- selves need strengtheneing in more than one important point; they! should be made more definite,.so that no honest man can be led unwittingly to Deak them, and so that the real’ wongdoer can be readily punished. Injunctions. Instances of abuse in the granting of itjunetions in labor disputes con linve to occur and the resentment in the minds of those who feel that their rightS are being invaded and their liberty of action and of speech unwarrantably restrained continues’ ikewise to grow. Much of the al- tack on the use of the process of im. junction is wholly without warrant; bul I am constrained to express the: belief that for some of it there is, warrant. This question is becoming more uid more one of prime import- ange, and unless the courts will them-| selves deal with it in effective man- wer, it is certain ultimately to def wand some form of legislative ad, tion. It would be most unfortunal for our social welfare if we should permit many honest and lawabiding cilizens to feel that they had just eause for regarding our courts with Lcstility. I earnestly commend to, He attention of the Congress this matter, so that some way may be de- vised which will limit the abuse of. injunctions and protect those rightd which from time to time it unwar- rantably invades.

Legal advice should be gotten and everything be done whereby the decision can be of benefit to us in getting a large number of our men on the voting list by only paying the seven years back tax. Here is the report. "A very fine legal point invoked in the question of whether or, not, a decision of the Supreme Court of Georgia nullifies the oath required by the voter by the constitution of 1877. Under the decision of the Supreme Court it has been held that plaintiff cannot go back in the case; required to that taxes has been paid from the time from the framing of the constitution up to the year in which the ballot is cast. Now authorities are asking if the Supreme Court decision does not cover oath and prevent the state going back of seven years. "The language of the oath says 'All taxes required, which may be taken, mean all taxes the individual must legal pay. "Discussion of this point is brought out by the statement that the names of 161,041 Negro taxpayers appear on the tax盗ests for this year. Just how many of these negroes will qualify by payment of all taxes this year is a question yet to be determined of course, but the question arises if they should pay taxes whether not they could vote in the election in year. If the Supreme Court decision is considered they would be required to show that all taxes had been paid since 1877. If the opinion stands the state can not go back of seven years. It would probably largely increase the number to enfranchise. "Inasmuch as the people must pass on the statute disfranchising the Negro at the elections next year, the question arises as to the possibility of a sufficient number qualifying to defeat that measure" Chatham Orphanage Chatham Orphanage.

OF LIBERTY The Organization of the Order by Rev, Meses Dickson He took a few true and trusty young men who were to enter into any plan that would assure freedom to the African race. they knew that it would require time and patience to make a success. They resolved to take two years to study out a plan. They met in the city of St. Louis, Mo, the 24th day of August 1846 to prepare for business. It will not be amiss to give the names of the men who like the twelve apostles commenced the great work for liberty. The names are John Patton and Henry Wright in South Carolina; James Befford, Silas Green in Mississippi; Irvin Hodges, Alabama; Peter Coleman and Willis Owens, Virginia; James Orr in Louisiana; Miles Graves in North Carolina. Henry Simpson in Georgia; Lewis Williams in Tennessee and Moses Dickson, their Chief. Silently like the falling of autumn leaves the organization multiplied until 1856 the army of true and trusty men numbered 4,720,040 Knights of Liberty. The first organization that was created under the distinct name of the order of twelve was organized by Mr. Moses Dickson, August 1856. The real date of the birth of our or der is the 13th day of August 1872. This organization was known among its members by the name of Knights of Tabor, a name that gave its members courage, as God was with Barak and Deborah in Israel's great battle with the immense army of Sisera. So God would be with them and God surely was with them. The organization was strong and fast, it was let set your right hand know what your left hand do. Trust no one and test every man before he is admitted to membership. A part of the oath was, "we can die, but we cannot reveal the secrets of the organization." No-secret order in the world has a history as grand as that of the International Order of Twelve Knights and Daughters of Taber. I must not close without paying due honor to the sainted mother Dickson, the wife of Moses Dickson, who was a faith ful worker in the church. She was installed into the honorable office and titled as mother of all Knights and Daughters of Tabor for life. And now springing up as the flowers of springtime, we have our Mt. Carmel Knights of Tabor 41 in number, Naomi Taboracle 72 in number, Opal Tabernaite 56 in number, and a new Tabernaite ready to be set up. This is the first of little over four months work writing and success due to the Deputy, Mrs. Fannie Seymour, of New York, that required those who were to be born in the year 1846 when he was born in August, that same hearts and souls be put into the same pu- bility to lift the burden of the world and be sufficiently educated. Other Sec. The Secretary of State met at St. Paul's on Tuesday morning at the neglected building of the Church of God and Rev. William H. B. of the Church of which Rev. H. B. was the first order.

A New Jersey poultry keeper gives the Practical Farmer his experience in catching hawks as follows: Soft-shelled eggs mean that the hens are too fat or else there is no enough lime in the ration—some times both. Set a pole three or four inches through at top and twelve feet long on a hill overlooking the poultry yards. Set a small steel trap cu top of pole and the hawk is almost certain to get caught when he alights on the pole. Hawks prefer to alight on the pole. I have caught 100 in three years, since I began. The trap, of course, should be fastened; otherwise, a large hawk would take it away. This beats watching about half a day to get a shot at them. Mange on Horses. Mange is an infection caused by a microscopic mite that lives on and burrows in the skin of the animal, causing intense itching, says the Maine Farmer. The treatment and cure are similar for all animals. Remove the scabs by softening in warm soapsuds. Prepare an application of one and a half ounces of tobacco in two pints of water, by boiling. Apply several times at intervals, and repeat after fifteen days to make sure of destruction of any new brood that may have been hatched in the interval. To make a sure job, all harness and stable utensils should be treated in same manner, and the stalls covered with whitewash containing one-fourth pound chloride of lime to the gallon. Setting Gate Posts: The matter of setting gate posts is one that should interest every one who has a gate to hang, for no matter how strong the post may be and how carefully it may be braced it is bound to sag sooner or later so that the gate catches on the ground. It is often desirous to set a gate post in soft ground, such as around the barn yard, or just after a heavy rain when the ground is too soft to do any work in the field. In such cases it is almost Two Ways of Setting Gate Posts. impossible to set the post firmly, but even in such cases this work can be done very satisfactorily by packing small stones in the hole around the post. This work might be even more effectually accomplished if the post were set in concrete, which is a little more expensive, but will hold the post more firmly than stones alone. In setting the post in concrete it should be tamped firmly as the hole is being filled up. After the hole is filled with concrete the post should not be disturbed for several days so as to give the cement time to "set." Care must be taken to have the post exactly plumb all the time while the work is going on as it can never be straightened after the cement hardens. As gate posts are usually much heavier than ordinary posts and are therefore expected to last much longer than the rest of the fence, it is always well to use thoroughly seasoned wood so as to make the work as permanent as possible. Another method of setting posts, says The Farmer, is by using two large flat stones to hold them in place. The hole, of course, must be dug much larger and before it is set in the hole one stone is laid edgewise in the bottom upon the side which is to receive the greatest pressure at the foot of the post. The post is then set in the hole, half filled with earth and the other stone placed against the side of the post to receive the drawing weight from the gate. In this way both stones receive the pressure holding the post firmly in position. Random Jottings. The chicks have great appetites as they near maturity and they need full feeding at that time. Keep a hopper filled with good grain before the birds all the time and then they can balance any shortage in your feeds of the day. Ordinarily, there is no advantage in high roosts and the fowls will do better and keep healthier if the perches are not more than three feet above the floor. Of course all the slats should be on a level, as this avoids crowding and fighting for the highest positions. This is a good time of year to whitewash the hen house. Use a little crude carbolic acid in the preparation. Glass may be all right for use as grit so far as grinding ability is concerned, but its use is dangerous, as it is liable to puncture the crop of the bird. Soft-shelled eggs mean that the hens are too fat or else there is not enough lime in the ration—sometimes both. Many farmers do not know the value of Kaffir corn as a feed for poultry. It has the same nutritive value as Indian corn, but is not no fattening and therefore is a better egg-producing grain. The fowls like it.—The Epitomist. How to Draw Poultry. Operation birds are to be drawn the operation should be performed immediately after the pin-feathering is finished or after they have become slightly cooled, as it is more difficult after they are thoroughly chilled. A sharp knife is essential, although some dressers prefer to make the necessary incision with curved scissors similar to those used by surgeons. Drawn fowls usually have the head removed also, and this should be done first. Sever the neck close to the head, taking care not to cut the windpipe and gullet, which can be more easily pulled out if left attached to the head. Draw the neck skin back and remove a short section of the bone, thoroughly washing out any blood that may collect. Finally draw the skin forward, and tie firmly. Remove the intestines through a small opening, as a large aperture is unsightly as well as unnecessary. Cut carefully through the walls of abdomen, making the incision entirely around the vent, then hook the first finger into the loops of the intestines and thus pull them out. Usually the heart, liver, lungs and gizzard are left attached in their natural position, as ordinarily the removal of the intestines is considered sufficient. After this has been accomplished the cavity should be thoroughly washed to remove all blood and other secretions. A select private trade often demands that poultry be even more carefully prepared, in which case the giblets should be removed and cleaned. Cut the gall sack from the liver, the blood vessels from the heart and remove the contents of the gizzard. Cut off the shanks after first removing the strong sinews which run up through the leg to injure the quality of the "drum stick." To take out these sinews run a knife blade down the back of the shank, between it and the sinews. Remove the skin above the sinews, and pull the latter out singly by means of a strong fork or skewer. A still easier way is to have a strong hook fastened to the wall at the proper height. Place the point of the hook under each sinew, which can then easily drawn out. The bird is now ready for lying up. Replace the giblets in the body cavity, draw the end of the drum sticks down to the "pope's nose," and there tie firmly. Finally fold the wings behind the back. Birds so tled are usually attractive, always appearing plump and chunky, due to the absence of sprawling legs and wings. Brollers may be attractively prepared for private trade as follows: Pluck carefully and remove the legs and sinews as above. With a heavy sharp knife make a cut each side and the entire length of the backbone, covering the ribs. Let these incisions meet in front of the neck and below the vent. This permits the removal of the head, neck, backbone and entire intestinal tract, and the bird opens out flat in convenient form to be placed upon the broiler. The giblets should be cleaned and should accompany the remainder of the carcass.—Butchers' Advocate. Good Hay Corer.

Have the ends of the chain attached to large rings which slip over slender poles driven in the ground and with headless spikes driven in like barbs, so the winds will not lift the roof. By boring one small hole near the lower edge of each board n wire would tie the two to the chain and not injure the board as staples might.

Communities are different. The people of one town differ from the people of another town. An editorial policy that will win applause in one community would create a bushel of "stops" in another. The editor who would be popular and a power in one community might play a losing game and become a man of small influence in another. There are towns that will take almost any kind of glush that an editor may give his readers. There are other towns that almost resent a real editorial opinion. The editor is an evolution. He is growing better year by year. The town is an evolution. It is growing bigger and broader and greater year by year. I believe and have always maintained both in public and private, that an editor both to be successful and influential must play square with the people. If-partisan politicians, rings or machines are robbing the public and the editor is sure of his grounds, he should be man enough to say so. If special interests are working special schemes to give them special privileges to benefit the few at the expense of the many, the real editor who plays square with the people should be willing to oppose directly and emphatically all such schemes. The real editor should be broad enough and have backbone enough and brains enough to take a stand in opposition to his best friends, to his 'largest patrons, to his heaviest advertisers, if the public interest demands it. The public interest should come first. Even from the most selfish standpoint if no other. Your best friend may die. Your largest patron may sell out or move away. Your heaviest advertiser may go into bankruptcy. But the public goes on forever. Play square with the public and the public is your friend, and if the public is your friend, the advertiser will go to the paper the public-reads, whether he believes in the editorial policy or not. Then on broad principles without attempting to suggest any plan that would apply generally, the editor should be honest. He should be honest with himself, honest with the public and honest in the presentation of public questions. It is impossible to always be right. Mistakes will happen. Honest editorials are often written on misinformation. But even they should ring true. They should strike clear. They should not be written as if the editor was feeling around for a soft place to light. More than that, a newspaper ought to have editorial opinions. More than that, it ought not to dodge local issue. It is the local questions that interest the local readers. A Republican editor or a Democratic editor, who devotes a column to lambasting the opposition party on national or State questions, and permits his party council to give half the town away, without ever uttering a protest, is not living up to the high ideal of a real editor. The local editor cannot do much toward shaping the destinies of his State or national organization, but with the use of brains and tact and hard work, he can do wonders toward helping his home town. It is the duty of the editor to do all he can to help his town. He should favor the policies that will help his town get new factories, new enterprises, new improvements, new citizens. He should help his town by frequently speaking of its advantages, its good location for business, its opportunities for buyers. The newspaper that is not afraid to get on the right side of public questions will be respected. A great many editors speak out strongly on most questions, but weakly dodge the liquor and similar questions. Don't dodge anything. Don't be afraid of anything. Meet and treat the questions of the day fairly and honestly. The public is willing to differ from you. But it doesn't admire an editor who is always squirming around and flopping about. If a Democratic alderman should make a mistake, take a wrong position, the thunders of Mt. Sinai would not be equal to the thunders of vultuperation the Republican organ is usually able to turn loose. Or if the shoe should happen to be on the other foot, the roar of Niagara would be as mild as a summer breeze, compared to the raging torrents of denunciation and noise that a partisan Democratic editor would fire at the political culprit whose chief fault probably arose from his standing in the way of some graft in which some friend of the partisan journal was interested. A thousand worse things, however, would go toobanning through the town, creating havoc, piling up taxes, getting the town by the ears, and the same editor would never utter a word of protest. It is my judgment that an editor should be an editor. That he should never be a partisan partisan. Belong to a party if you feel that to be your duty, but don't let the party use you to pull its burning chestnuts out of the fire. Like a just judge sitting on the bench, the editor should deal with public questions from the sole standpoint of doing the greatest good to the greatest number. I believe that such policy is not only the right policy, but I believe it is the winning way. The editor must be fair. He must be honorable in his dealings with the public. He should stand fairly in favor of right principles, sobriety, honesty, integrity, honest and economical public service and "hurrah" for his town always and all the time. He should print a good newspaper, a news newspaper, an enterprising newspaper, an up-to-date American newspaper. He should see that the local news field is carefully handled, thoroughly covered, and the paper edited with a view to making the news reliable as well as readable. But it is useless to offer suggestions along these lines. You all know these things as well as, many of you better, than I do. As to the town much depends on that. Some cities are very proud of very poor papers. Some cities are constantly kicking at very good papers. No hard and fast lines can be laid down as to what the town should do for the editor. But I think it is safe to say that if he will give his town his best efforts, even though they may not always be brilliant, just an honest, earnest effort to serve the people, his town will be good to him. The editor must take the people as he finds them. He must take his town as he finds it. It is not the editor's duty to carry all the burdens of the town on his own shoulders, but he will have to carry ten times as many of them as any other man. The editor should not imagine that he is the dictator. He should not swell up and become infected with the notion that ho is the big boss or the one overgrown boy, who is to do all the talking. That won't go down with a lot of people. The town is full of people who know what they want done just as well as the editor knows what he wants done. They can give him bushels of points every day in the week. They can tell him where to back in. In fact some of the people sometimes get so excited over their failure to reform the editor that they are liable to quit taking his paper for a few weeks at least. If the paper is really worth while, they soon come back. After that they do not try to reform the editor all the time—they begin to stop and eat once in a while, at least—and they usually stay longer after an experience of that kind. For myself, I believe in opening up the columns of my paper freely to the people who disagree with my editorial policy. The public is given to understand that while I am compelled to pay for the privilege of saying what I please, as well as pay for the other fellow's privilege of appearing in print, the public can use the columns of the Telegram without money and without price to agree or disagree with my editorial policy or utterance just as much as they like so long as they present their remarks in a respectful manner. The real editor it seems to me should not be afraid to open up his columns to the kicker, the knocker or the objector. Give these people space and if they are wrong, they will hang themselves. If they are right, the editor certainly has no reason for keeping their utterances from the public. After all every great reform that has ever blessed mankind has been started by what in this day and age would be called a "knocker." If the editor is the man he ought to be, he lights the torch of progress and goes marching up and down the streets. He asks the populace to unfetterly and earnestly get together and give the old town a boost. Sometimes in some towns the people quickly respond. They follow the leader and they do things for the old town that make the knockers and the kickers' club waken up and take notice. Sometimes, in some towns, no amount of coaxing, no amount of argument, no matter how well the story is presented will bring results. In such a place I can see only one hope for the real editor, and that is to sell out and get into some town where intelligence, hard work and enterprise will be appreciated. The editor must believe in the town if he wants the town to believe in him. It seems to me that he should keep his paper free from entangling alliances of all kinds. If an editor is constantly asking the politicians to favor special ordinances that will, give him business, he gets into a position where he naturally is compelled to favor the ordinances the politicians want passed to give them or some other workers special privileges. I don't believe the editor will get as much from that kind of method as he will by keeping entirely free. I don't believe he is doing the best he can for his town, and I don't believe his town will do the best for him if he follows that kind of a policy. He should ask only what is fair. He should be willing to share in the general prosperity. He should not insist on cream all the time. He should get his results by working for the good of the whole town. It seems to me that the editor who does this will have greater prosperity on the average. He will at least enjoy the confidence and respect of his fellow citizens. He will live a life of usefulness for the good of the old town. He can make a good living for himself and leave an honorable patrimony for his family. When, at last old Father Time strikes "thirty" and the work of his life is done, the old town will be a sincere and honest mourner that so good a friend has gone to his reward. What more can the editor ask of the town than appreciation while alive and real sorrow when he is called to his long rest, well earned. —From the National Printer-Journalist. GOOD ROADS Motors on Country Roads. My home is on a road over which, on Sundays, sometimes pass a half dozen automobiles. In front of the house this road makes a sharp curve, on one side of which is a hill hiding the road beyond the curve. It is an unusual thing for an autoist either to blow his horn or to slow up on this curve. What is done on this road is probably done on all roads. The only reason there has not been a serious accident at this particular point is because two vehicles have never happened to meet there. A timid horse meeting a machine in such a place would have no chance at all. The picture in the August Century, called "The Right of Way of the Automobile," illustrates a common occurrence in the country. The roads are for the use of the people who live on them, and not chiefly for those who merely pass over them on pleasure trips. The farmer must use the road if he is to sell his crops; his family must use it if they are ever to see any place but their own home. Now the road is used at more or less risk to every one, and at great risk to the old men who cannot move quickly, and to the women who are not constant drivers. In fact, few of the women who used to drive when the roads were free now attempt it. If autos are rare on any particular road they are all the more dangerous when they do appear. A horse cannot be easily trained to pass them in the country because of their irregularity, and because during the winter, when autos are rare, the horse forgets all about them and is ready by spring for an accident. Also, a horse which is unafraid in the city often becomes unmanageable in the country. I believe the Times has been making a list of automobile accidents, but I think many of the accidents to the horse-drawn vehicles are not reported. The owner of the auto who causes the trouble is not apt to publish it abroad, and reporters are not so plentiful throughout the country as to learn of all such cases. So far as I know, it is at present lawful for an auto to be driven at any rate of speed by any person "whether he has intelligence or experience or not, over any road in the State that is not within city limits. When bicycles first came into use, they were ridden on the sidewalks until laws were passed forbidding it. The laws, no doubt, proved an inconvenience to cyclists; they often had to give up short cuts and smooth roads but as pedestrians were in the majority, the walks were reserved for them, and the cyclists built their own paths. The farmers are a great majority in the roads, and horse-drawn vehicles likely to be employed on the most exclusively for some times to come, judging by the present cost and unreliability of the motor cars. Could not the machines be restricted to certain main lines throughout the State, connecting private owners by their own private lines? Leadmit that this doesn't seem feasible, but that can be done? The present state of things is more dangerous than even the people as careless of life as we care less prolonged. I understand that in London stops are being taken to have separate roads for autos. Could we not, at least, limit the autos to use of such roads as are twenty-five feet wide throughout their length, and which are so built as to have at least 150 feet of the road visible in both directions from any part of it? The roads are just about as pleasant for driving as a railroad track would be for a sidewalk.—L. A. C., in the New York Times. On heavy roads that are likely to become very hard after being wet and traveled the tool known as the road planer is especially useful. It also serves the purpose of the road drag and works on the same principle as The Road Planer. the King road drag. The sketch shows one which is very well designed, says Farm and Home. It should be about fourteen feet long and five feet wide, the outside runners, scraper, blades and inside running boards all of 2x10 or 2x12-inch planks. The runners keep the planer from going too deep and will bridge over low places in the road, filling them to uniform surface while cutting off the high lumps. The planer boards are edged with a strip of steel so they will keep a sharp edge with considerable usage. If an ordinary dirt road is properly constructed and once put in good condition, it can be maintained in shape by the use of this planer and the King drag at a cost of five of ten dollars per mile per year.

"I had been exceedingly nervous, thin and very sallow, After quitting coffee and drinking Postum Food Coffee about a month my nervousness disappeared and has never returned. This is the more remarkable as I am a Primary teacher and have kept right on with my work. "My complexion now is clear and rosy, my skin soft and smooth. As a good complexion was something I had greatly desired, I feel amply repaid even tho this were the only benefit derived from drinking Postum. "Before beginning as use I had suffered greatly from indigestion and headache; these troubles are now unknown. "Best of all, I changed from coffee to Postum without the slightest inconvenience, did not even have a headache. Have known coffee drinkers who were visiting me, to use Postum a week without being aware that they were not drinking coffee. "I have known several to begin the use of Postum and drop it because they did not boll it properly. After explaining how it should be prepared they have tried it again and pronounced it delicious."

Coco is Spanish for bogie, and it is said the coconut was thus mamed for its resemblance to a distorted human face. On est la Femme? (Where is the Woman?) Buchman considers this saying to be derived from Juvenal (Sat. VL, 242): Nulla fere cause est, in pus non femina litem moverit. (There is hardly any litigation of which a woman is not the cause.) The Erzberg, Austria's iron mountain, will furnish ore for 1000 more years. The name of Michael Scott is the earliest on record among the Scotch poets, but the oldest fragments of Scottish poetry now known to exist, consist of a few lines of lamentation on the death of Alexander III. of Scotland, which took place in 1268. The ancients were of the opinion that the plants, in their movements through space, produced severally the seven notes of the gamut. This music, it was contended, was imperceptible to human ears on account of' the fact that it was too powerful for our hearing. Others held that men did not hear it simply because they were so used to it, just as we do not notice the roar of the city from our constant familiarity with it. The real "Music of the Spheres" is purely intellectual, lying in the great and splendid fact of the universe of law and order. TYPEWRITERITIS. Nervousness That Displays, Itself in the Tapping of Eight Busy Fingers. Nervousness that displays itself in constantly tapping the fingers is said to be exhibited to some extent by typewriter girls. Expert typewriting operators use eight fingers at their work. The steady concentration and extreme speed in some cases, seem to produce a digital numbness that occasionally becomes so pronounced as to interfere with the ability of the typewriters. In some cases impatient employers falling to comprehend the cause of their photographers' trouble, have discharged them. If the girl afflicted with this finger tapping trouble manages to do her work-properly and speedily she pays for her grit. The bothersome numbness leaves her fingers soon after the day's grind at the typewriter is ended, and is succeeded by the nervousness that many of the victims consider far more objectionable. All that is required by the typewriter girl suffering from this disorder is a table, the arm of a chair, a book or bag in her lap, or any other object upon which she may rest her wrist and begin the ceaseless tapping. "Typewriteritis" might describe the malady. The eight fingers of the victim thrum idly the moment she sits down to dinner. A stranger noting the movement watches for it to cease, but there is not letup. Any one may feel a desire to drum with the fingers for a few moments without considering himself nervous, but it is the design of the typewriter girl to continue it indefinitely that marks her as a victim and generally makes her friends equally fidgety. Girls with shapey, well-manicured fingers sometimes simulate the symptoms of the disease, but none of the immunes, however vain, can initiate the nervous tapping of a real victim. Seventeen stenographers in the Park Building were asked if they ever noticed the nervousness in themselves. Five said yes. The twelve others looked scornful or amused, or incredulous, but said no. Twelve of the same profession in the Flatiron Building were put on the witness stand, and all but five disclaimed having any symptoms of the disease. One of the five treated the matter frivolously and asked the questioner what he wanted her to agree to give the right answer: regardless of the facts. Typewriters who operate the keys slowly need have no fear of the trouble—New York Sun. EARLY, KANGAS JUSTICE. How a Murderer Was Safety Landed In Dodge City-Jall. R. G. Cook, of Dodge City, who visited friends in Garden City this week, first went to Dodge City thirty-four years ago and for several years hunted buffalo on the plains. He was also justice of the peace and Coroner for several years in the early days and these official positions, says the Garden City Telegram, gave him frequent opportunities to see some of the thrilling events that happened in the west. Mr. Cook relates one incident of the palmy days of Dodge City that was not unusual at the time. "Mysterious Dave" had been arrested for a murder which had been committed in the town and was brought before Judge Cook to have his preliminary hearing. Dave had a number of friends in the town and it had been rumored that it made no difference if he was bound over; that they would release him as soon as the preliminary was over. "I had heard this talk," said Mr. Cook, "and when I took my place in the court room I laid two revolver down on the table before me, within easy reach of ejected hand. Both were cocked and both ready for action. The court room was full and a great many of Dave's friends were there. We heard the evidence and just before I gave my decision I said, "Every one will keep his seat until this court is dismissed." "The sheeriffs are instructed to shoot any one that disbuses this, order. Then I bound the prisoner over to the district court for first degree murder, without ball. The sheeriff took the prisoner to fall and returned before a person left his chair. There were three or four deputy sheeriffs in the crowd and the order would have been carried out if any one had attempted to disbuse it." "What, a dollar a pound for teal" exclaimed the customer. "Isn't that too steep?" The south outranks New England in steam horse-power, but New England is far ahead in water horse-power.

One of the associations is run on the European and the other on the American plan. There is much to be said in commendation of such a condition of things at a great university which is sometimes erroneously reckoned an expensive place to get an education. It is not only cheap board, considering its quality, but it is an arrangement that helps to bring all the students together at least three times a day, enabling them all to touch elbows with each other.

"The next time you smoke a good cigar save the ashes. Get up next morning, take a pinch of cigar ash, rub it on your front teeth, and then begin work with the brush. The teeth will immediately take on a splendid polish. The cigar ash will keep them in the best of condition, and will prevent the gums from becoming sore or swollen.

Slaks, drains, eating and cooking utenails, slick room linen and clothing frequently carry the dreaded disease-germ unnoticed by the household. Thorngh and hygienic cleansing is the best safeguard against infection, and such a safeguard is found in the universal household necessity—Borax. This simple preventive carries in itself, disinfecting qualities which enter the fabric or act upon the article to be cleansed in a hygienic manner, eliminating every unwholesome property, rendering it contagion-proof, while at the same time Borax is of itself as harmless as salt. Unlike most disinfectants which depend upon their strength of odor or harmful to the-system qualities, to arrest or prevent contagion, Borax is Nature's remedy, being easy to obtain and easy to apply, a simple solution in hot water being all the application necessary and requiring no prescription, it can be obtained from any grocery or druggist in convenient, economical household packages. In addition to its disinfecting qualities, Borax is especially a household necessity, and can be used for softening water, cleansing and whitening clothes, clearing the skin, whitening hands, makes an excellent dandruff remover and can be used on the finest lace or most delicate fabrics without injury, while as an adjunct to the bath it removes all odor of perspiration and leaves the skin soft and velvety.

Whole Head and Neck Covered—Inir All Came Out—Suffered 6 Months —Cured in 3 Weeks by Cuticum. "After having the measles my whole head and neck were covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out. I let the trouble run along, taking the doctor's blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem that that would work for about six months; then I got a set of Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, I consider myself cured.
