EVADING PROHIBITION LAW. ‘Unique Scheme Discovered in Mis. ‘aissiopl. eee ee Washington, D. C—A unique scheme to evade prohibition laws has been deyised by the Incorporation of express companies which operate be- tween states. In the last two or three months several such companies have been Incorporated in varlous parts of the country. In every instance the companies do a busitess close to state Mines, None of them have filed with the interstate commerce commission their annual report and it is under- stood an effort will shortly be made by the officials of prohibition states to prevent the operation of such com- panies. The commission recelved an {n- quiry from the Mississtpp! state au- thorittes a few days ago respecting the operations of an express company at Natchez, Mississippi is a probibi- tion state,.yet It developed that an express company had been organized and Incorporated at Natchez, the bulk of business of which appeared to be transportation of beers and lqours from another state into Mississippi. The beverages are consigned to indt- viduals in Mississippl and are delly: ered by wagons of the express com- pany. ‘The curious part of the trans- action Is that the express company ‘was Incorporated by dealers in beers ‘and lquors with the evident inten. on, according to the Mississippi au- thoritles, of evading the stringent state Mquor Jaws. A similar case has arls- en In Massachusetts. BUYING NEW EQUIPHENT. Milloin and a Half Will Be Spent by he ‘Southern Maltlway.

Auanta, Ga.—Notwithstanding that in the state of Georgia “near-beer” is the nearest approach to the exhil- araling beverage that citizens of non- prophibition statés are * sometimes wont to partake of, the records of the Atlanta police department disclose that for the first six months of 1909 there were 1875 arrests in this city for drunkenness.

SOUTHERN STATES TO RATIFY . Se to \ Washington, D. C.—It is now up lo the legislatures of the several states to say whether there shall be an in- come tax amendment to the constl- tution. By the decisive vote of 317 to 14, more than the necessary two- thirds, the house passed the senate Joint resolution providing for the sub- mission of the question to the states. It is the belfef of southern sena- tors and congressmen that the states of the south will unanimously ratity the proposed amendment to the con- suitullpn, providing for the level of a incomb ‘tax and that if the measure falls of endorsement by the necessary three-fourths of the states, it will be by reason of the non-action of legis: lature In tho north and west. Members of the Texas delegation wired Governor Campbell of — that state, urging him to call the legisla: ture ‘together for the purpose of rati- fying immediately the proposed con: stitutional amendment. Representative Hobson of Alabama has wired. Governor Comer suggesting that when he issues the call for the forthcoming session of the general as. sembly he specify that ratification of the income tax amendment be one of the objects of legislation, Both Texas and Alabama desire the distinction of being the first state, to ratify the amendment. Georgia is likely to have the honor of first ratitying the amendment, for the reason that the legislature of that atate is already in session, - SOUTH’S PROSPERITY DISCUSSED. Diversity of Agriculture is the Cause, | ‘Says Rallway President.

This fact and the large increase in cbtton manufactures had brought much money into that section, Cot- ton mills in the south had proved so successful, sald Mr, Finley, that many others were how being built, and that there was bound to be a decrease of raw cotton shipped to the New Eng- land mills, and possibly to the Liver- pool market. “TENDERFOOT” WAS SCARED, Nine Texans Were Not Killed by the Mexican Guttaws.

Mr. El- lerbe has been a patient fn “Provi- dence hospital for six weeks with a fractured leg, and he has, It fs under- stood, developed pneumgnia. Because of the strict rules being“observed at the hospital it is difficult to secure any particulars.

In addition to its regular business of uprooting Error and demolishing Falsehood, it has had to do some lively sidesteppiig to keep from under innumerable weighty theories that wanted it as a foyhdation for, ad- vertising purposes, It has also required some skillful dodging fo escape a number of creeds that were foreordained to embrace it. “ During the past two hundred years, while the pojticians tave been madly rushing around to nail Lies,| the scientists have been as wildly—and success- fully—endeavoring to skewer Truth and hang it up to dry. 7 Like Liberty, Truth has had to stand for A,g00d deal of abuse on account of its friends—especially those long-haired, pale-faced, wild-eyed, adoring esoteric friends who are alw-ys praying to be allowed to kiss the hem of its skirt. This is doubly embarrassing, for Truth does not wear skirts. It is not at all certain that it wears anything, but if it does, jt has entirely too,much at stake to risk its reputation by materfalizing in the guise of that sex whose chief charm fs its uncertainty. . Then, too, Truth has been sorely tempted. Considering the coldness of the-climate.in which it is supposed to dwell, and its undressed state, it surety has betn hard to reject all the varnish that has been offered it by the orators, And when we see the kind of people that usually have it cornered, we ate struck with the great moral backbone it must have required for Truth to resist'the smiles of the many charming liars who have come to won.—From Life. - - Consumption of Matches ATER ATCHES are such trifling objects, such infinitestmally small adjuncts to the daily housekeeping task, that‘it may astonish i Madame to learn that so Vast a number of the little ‘‘sul- phuric splinters“ are consumed each day that Nationa) For- ester Gifford Pinchot, in workifig out the problem of saving B the 700,000,000 acres of American forest lands from destruc- tion, is pondering on the match industry as one of the fac- A § tors of an almost unbelievable wood watse. na é It takes many a match te make a tree, and it may be dificult for the mind to believe that manufacturing matches means the annual wiping out of hundreds of square miles of forest lands, yet such is a fact, and when some of the figures have been massed together the reasons become a Dit plainer. Last year 3,000,000 matches were lighted every minute’ of the day and night in the civilized world, and of the vast quantity America used no less than seven hundred billions. ‘With 3,000,000 matches going into flame and smoke with each tick of the clock, one with a mathematical turn of mind seems driven to the task of learn- ing how many were burned each hour, each day, each week, each month and during the year, and then how many each mam, woman and child in the United States is entitled to annually. It’s simply a question of old-fashioned multiplication, and the completed task shows that 18C,000,00 were used each hour, 4,320,000,000 each day, 30, 240,000,000 each week, 907;200,000,000 each month, and 10,886,400,000,000 dur- Ing the year.

Webster's Spelling Book—The English Reader—Daboll's Arithmetic—Brown's Grammar, and Others, and Their Virtuous Precepts. In the literature that abides with the individual memory and becomes a part of the soul's furniture, so to speak, I know of nothing that surpasses a disused and departed school book. The Webster Spelling Book and the English Reader—the first onewholesale and the last nowwhere used—have probably had the longest history of any going through at least three full generations. Beginning with the symbolic picture of the Temple of Fama and Knowledge, to which a Minervae-like female figure points the young girl pupils whom she is leading, and continuing, to the end, there is hardly a page in this spelling book which an old student who has used it ever forgets. Although it has gone through several editions, its type and essential style are preserved in every change of it. How familiarly, after you pass the alphabet page, these lines appeal to us: "Am I to go in? I am to go in," "She fed the old hen," "The hen was fed by her." "Ann can hem my cap." "She has a new fan." "Fire will burn wood and coal." "Coal and wood will make a fire." "Will you help me pin my frock." "The good girl may jump the rope." "Bakers bake bread and cakes." "I like to play in the shady grove." "Cider is made of apples." "A tiger will kill and ent a man." "Ann-can spin flax." "A shad can swim." "Cotton velvet is very soft to the feel." "We can burn fish oil in lamps." "Never pester the little boys." "I had some green corn in July on a plate." Things Ann Doesn't Know. The self-obviousness and simplicity of these sayings have now a distinct charm. But they were gauged, it must be remembered, for infantile minds not long graduated from the traditio Some changes in society have taken place since they were written. Ann cannot spin flax now, because the crop has lost its prevalence, and we no longer burn fish oil, but use, where gas and electricity are not in hand, John D. Rockefeller's product. A shad can still swim, but he now does his locomotion with rare and rarer frequency—and very soon will not do it at all unless we quit the filthy and criminal pollution of our streams and waterways. At the middle and end of the book the words and lessons are arranged for the older and higher classes of pupils, and finish all the equipment that is required for a speller and reader. The pictures and the fables perhaps interest most of us in the retrospect. The milkmaid in her careless dreamland, the boy driven from the apple tree by the irate farmer, and the bull that gored the ox, are still unfaded treasures which carried in their day notable instruction. The wood-cuts that were used, that were of the Anderson and Bewick fashion, look quiet enough now. Who, at any rate, that has nurtured on Webster's Speller can ever forget the Milkmaid's Reverie? She was carrying the full pall of milk on her head when she said: "The money for which I sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to 300." After deducting for adding and vermin there would be at least 250 chickens got from them. These were to go to market at Christmas for good prices. Consequently by May Day, she says, "I cannot fall of having money enough to purchase a new gown." Then!—let me consider—yes, green becomes my complexion best, and kreen it shall be. In this dress I will go to the fair, where all the young fellows will strive to have used for a partner, but I shall, perhaps, refuse everyone of them, and with an air of disdain and toss from them." Being "transported by this thought," she gave a sudden toss of her head, "and down came the pall of milk, and with it all her imaginary happiness." It must be that from this fable came the proverb: 'Never count your chickens before they're hatched.' The Webster Speller is chiefly used in the South and West now. But it has absolute merit still, and, interpreted in Taxalog and the other tongues of the Philippines, might prove an excellent purveyor of English to those who speak them. Solemn Lindley Murray. Lindley Murray's English Reader was held to be excellent in its day. But it was overwhelmingly serious and polished and was, so advanced that many of the younger pupils who used it had to wait for years to have it his meaning made clear to them: Murray was not only a stern Quaker, but he seems to have been a man who could not smile even. To him a laugh was in lyrity, and in one of the editions of his reader he anologized in a foot-note for a few sentences in which he though there was something playful said: "No one else, however, discovered this." On one page, in speaking of Nigrae Falls—an idea which he might have found in Goldsmith's "Animated Nature"—he announces its height and grandeur, but still immediately informs an illusion and anti-climax by saying that in spite of its vaseness "it is said that the Indians have sometimes passed down it in their course in safety." I have some samples of the books that I remember: 'Tis education forms the common mind; STILL FOX HUNTING IN MISSOURI hounds and has a family to support. With All-His Worldly. Goods. has no time to sleep between classes. Do you-think-you-can-manage, with the best food is cracking and corn, my cousin, of all, a week, darling? bread which "which given together after she had hid pies, good wind and muscle.

An earthquake may be bid to spare The man who's strangled by a hair. Owen's Old Antiquities. Murray's Grammar was excellent, but its circulation could not compare with that of the English Reader: 'Of arithmetics there was no end.' Else was a big octavo, and began his career in the eighteenth century. It was really a whole compendium of mathematics. Daboll's perhaps is now the best remembered of the multiplied kinds. Colburn's was noted, and Smith's began almost in the cradle by asking the kindergartner: "How many little fingers have you got on your right hand?" And how many on your left hand? Nathan Daboll was a born mathematician and his problems were no easy nuts to crack, as a great number of the book's patrons, still remember. Like many school, books, it was bound in full leather, while Webster's Spelling Book had usually blue-papered board covers backed by red cloth, which became-almost a trade-mark. Daboll called his book "The Schoolmaster's Assistant," with the addition of "The Practical Accountant, or Farmers' and Mechanics' Best Method of Bookkeeping." The latter departments were furnished by Samuel Green. Arithmetic Problems in Verse. Jacob Willetts' Arithmetic was the product of a Quaker teacher in Dutchess County, who also made a geography and other works. The arithmetic had great favor and was considered easier than Daboll's. Nearly all the old arithmetics put their problems usually in terms of pounds, shillings and peace-down to about 1850. In Willetts' Arithmetic no one will forget who has studied it this example: When first the marriage knot was tied between my wife and me. My age was to that of my bride the next year. But now, when ten and half ten years We man and wife have been. Her age to mine exactly bears As eight is to sixteen. Now tell, I pray, from what I've said, What were our ages when we wed. Ans.—The age when married must have been just lorryve, thy wife's fifteen. This was not exactly a case of December and May, but it was pretty nearly one of September and the latter month, bringing golden rod and flacs together. Willetts helped Goold Brown on his grammar and was the head of a noted school to the working end of his life. One of his assistant teachers, Augustus R. McCorda, a County Superintendent of Schools In Dutchess County when that office existed, revised Willett's Arfmetic in the middle of the last century, putting it also in boards instead of leather. Willett's school books and many others bore this alternative imprint: "Printed and Published by Paraclete Potter, Poughkeepsie, N. Y." This Potter was a brother of the older bishops of that name. Noah Webster's Son. Not every one knows that there was a sequel to Webster's Spelling Book, made by his son, W. G. Webster, and a motto in it, under the portrait of Noah Webster reads thus: "Who taught millions to read, but nother to sin." Nothing can better give the spirit in which the old school books were written, for they were nearly all hortatory and idiotic, even when they dealt with figures scheerly. There was an introduction and also a sequel to the English Reader, but their school use was limited. There were in vogue, as geographies, Morse's, Smith's and Olney's among others. But very early in the nineteenth century there was a huge geography, by an older Morse (Jedidiah Morse, I believe) which contained remarkably frank matter, and some relating to the social customs of certain nations that modern taste would, distinctly, frown, upon. It is a curious fact in reference to the old geography maps—those made in the early part of the last century—that they populated by definite town marks and 'described with mountains, lakes and rivers the most unknown parts of the interior of Africa. If our ex-President in his big game hunt should take one of these along as a geographical guide he would discover, to use "Josh Billings" location, "a good many things that ain't so." Some of the Good Old "Pieces." . . I should have said before this that there were, competitors, to the English Reader. The Columbian Orator, by Caleb Bingham, was one, the National Preceptor (I think it was called) was another, and Porter's Rhetorical Reader came a little later, In all these, as with Murray's book, the pieces were selected with an eye to declamation. Some of these were "On Linden When the Sun Was Low," "The Burial of Sir John Moore," "Marco Zozzaris," "The Old Oaken Bucket," "Webster's Reply to Hayne," with passages from other speeches of his, and many besides of similar note. In more than one of the books used for reading, the verses for a youthful speaker beginning— You'd scarce expect one of my age Demosthenes and Cicero, etc.—are to be found. This app bit of verse has been usually credited to Edward Everett, but it was written, I believe, by his brother, Alexander Everett. While there were authors quoted from in these books (and I have left many books of this class unnamed) like Mrs. Opie, Granger and Brainerd, who are not at all generally remembered at this date, Byron, Campbell, Milton and other great names are represented in them. Taking literature, then, as it was eighty and a hundred years ago, the school books that I speak of fairly sampled it. The latest book to which I have referred is Porter's Rhetorical Reader. But that appeared seventy-seven years ago. It was more than a reader. It taught rhetoric, gesture, vocal expression and all that concerns oratory. It was from these books, and others like them that I have named, that the great men of two or three generations ago got their first steps in culture. If they had been perfect books they could not remain so, for new authorship, new ideas and a different perspective in all fields of thought, have necessarily dismissed them. But they did more than promote the three R's—"reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic;" they opened an imaginative and spiritual outlook into the world that made the common and district schools great nourishers of character and gening.—New York World. THE WITCHES' TREE Superstitions Regarding the Influence of the Elder Country people speak of the elder tree as "the witches' tree," and planted it near farm buildings and diaries to keep off witches. They also say that the roots should never come near a well, still less grow into it, or the water will be spilled. Evelyn's opinion was also unfavorable. He says: "I do by no means commend the scent of it, which is very noxious to the air. "We learn from Bieslus that a certain house in Spain, seated among many elder trees, diseased and killed nearly all its inhabitants, which, when at last they were grubbed up, became a very healthy and wholesome place." Cattle scarcely touch the elder, and the mole is driven away by the scent. Carters often placed branches on their horses' heads to keep off sites. Nothing will grow well in the company of the elder, and when it has been removed and all its roots carefully grubbed up it is some few years before—the ground becomes perfectly sweet and good for anything. The berries, besides feeding the birds, make excellent country wine, delicacies with soda/water in summer or taken hot in winter. The wood is particularly good for skewers, and the curious jews' red fungus grows on elder stumps. A species of elder in the Tyrol is covered with beautiful scarlet berries. -Selborne's Magazine. POULTRY CULTURE. Choosing Best Layers. There are a great many methods advertised, in various pamphlets and papers stating that, if you will practice this or that method of selecting as laid down in the paper, you will be able to determine the drones from the workers. The writer has tried a few of these so-called certainties, and has come to the conclusion the trap nest is the only accurate test. It is by selection and keeping records that advancement is made along this line. Each hen has her own individuality; certain hens lay eggs that are in nine cases out of ten hatchable. Some hens lay well, but although their eggs are usually fertile, they will not hatch, whether set under a hen or placed in the best incubator. The chicks develop to a certain size, in many cases being fully formed, but die in the shell. Again, many hens lay eggs that are seldom fertile. In selecting birds one has several objects. The saying "that the hen that lays is the hen that pays" is often heard. The majority engaged in the poultry business consider egg production the best end of the business. It is often the surest. There is not the same amount of risk attached to it. At the same time, if people are foolish enough to believe that Mr. So-and-So can supply eggs from hens, tested by the so-called new system, which have produced 300 eggs per annum, they have more faith in the advertiser and the hen than the writer has. There is no doubt that certain characters should be looked for in a good laying hen. She should be low set, and stand on a pair of shanks set fairly wide apart. The head should be nice and clean cut, with a full bright eye. In other words, hens should show feminine character, and not wrinkled features. Hens of the latter type should be discarded; in short, masculinity in the hen is a bad sign. A hen with a large capacity for food has a large crop, is usually a payable bird to feed. The smaller the sack of food she takes to roost at night the fewer eggs will she produce. Dalrymmen know that a cow must have plenty of room for food in order to produce a large, milk yield. The advertised systems serve one purpose. By examining the lay bones the amateur knows which bird is about to lay; or is laying. Should the lay bones be relaxed to the extent of about three fingers (closed) the bird is laying; if they are almost in contact, that is the hen to market, but so much depends on the time of year one wishes to sell table fowls.—H. V. Hawkins. White-Plymouth Rocks. White fowls, because of their striking appearance and the ease with which they are bred to a high state of perfection, have become very popular during the past few years. The White Rocks and White Wyandotes especially are the favorites of those who fancy a solid colored fowl. White Rocks, except in color, are counterparts of the Barred branch of the family, and like them, they are ideal fowls for family or market. They are large and are good layers, and always find a ready sale. Their eggs are large and have dark shells, and always attract attention. Altogether White Plymouth Rocks have enough, merit to keep them in the front, ranks of America's best breed of poultry. Rye and Alfalfa. Doors for towls to go into yards should be as blasted that a good yard, sown to rye or saltata, is available for each pen. Where ground for yards and raising grain is limited, the same yards may be planted in late corn, then sown in rye; it should be sown very thick, to allow the fowls to have the run of it-while it is still small, and yet not destroy it. Corn can be planted early in July, after hatching season is over and all fowls thrown into one yard, if not out on free range. To the Discouraged. Those who become discouraged by mistakes are, not very progressive, instead of being stumbling blocks, mistakes are, object lessons that, arouse one to a sense of closer observation and point out facts. However, the man, who makes the same mistake twice is not a very observing person. Feeding is important; but the first house heeds constant care, too. The fact that some prefer cheese or ham that has developed more or less mold, while they would instantly reject moldy bread, leads the London Lancet to ask why such a distinction is made. The writer thinks that dry mold is harmless, while moist mold may be poisonous. Certainly custom and an acquired taste are factors. Moldy cheese, however, relished, by epicures, is not universally in favor, and moldy ham, which is placed in the same category by the Lancet, is not highly regarded in this country. We quote from the article as follows: "It is a little difficult to understand in what way the human instinct is guided in regard to deciding when molds on foods are objectionable and when they are acceptable. It is certain at any rate that the same mold is both relished and objected to, according to the particular food on which it flourishes. No one eats for choice moldy jam or moldy strawberry or biscuit, and yet the same mold growing on a cheese or a ham may be appreciated. If, again, the same mold were found on beef or mutton, the meat would probably be regarded as unfit, for food. In some instances, notably certain hams and cheeses, the mold is cultivated to give these respective articles of food a ripe appearance and flavor, and when they attain this condition they as a rule increase in value. "It is well: known, however, that the digestibility and palatability of not a few foods increase as they 'ripen.' We have already mentioned the instances of cheese and ham, and there are further instances of 'hung' mutton and venison and game. By ripening we do not mean a state bordering on actual putrefaction, when such foods are described as 'high,' but a seasoned condition, when the food becomes tender, digestible and appetizing. At this period mold may be found, especially if the seasoning process has been allowed to develop in a damp place. It seems as though foods which are palatable only if eaten comparatively fresh may act poisonously on the system when moldy, and 'conversely it would appear that those foods which are eaten dried or cured, or which can be kept in a more or less dried state are undamaged by mold. Cheese, after all, is more or less the dried nitrogenous portion of milk; 'hung' mutton is mutton that is exposed for some time to a current of air, so that, at any rate, its surface is dry; of hams, the same thing may be said. In the opposite category would be placed the moldy fruit or jam, which are, of course, moist, or the biscuit which has been lying in a moist place, for neither a biscuit nor flour would go moldy if kept dry. The reason partly why some like mold in Stilton cheese, while all resent the same mold in a strawberry, depends probably upon this question of moisture. The guilding principle appears to be—as far, at any rate, as the palate goes—that anything which is moldy must not be wet. This conclusion still leaves open the point as to whether mold occurring on food, whether wet or dry, may not be dangerous, having regard to the relations which have appeared to exist between low organisms and disease. On the whole, there is reason for believing that the health would be better safeguarded if molds were kept out of the diet."—Literary Digest. How It Works. "Now, you'll be here at 7 o'clock sharp in the morning, sure? Remember, I'm depending on you." "Yes'm sure. I'll be here. You can depend on me." The applicant for the position of cook went down the steps and up the street, and the prospective mistress went back into her sitting room. As she left, the servant was saying to herself: "Seems awful to lie that way, but what can I do? I haven't any way on earth of knowing, whether any of the other three places I promised I'd go to to-morrow morning will be open by the time I get there. Of course they promised to hold the places for me, just as this woman did, but if any other girl should get in ahead of me they'd hire her just as they all have hired me. And there's no telling how many more they'd hire if the same way before I found 'em. So while I don't like to lie, what am I to do to get a job?" The prospective mistress, as she sat at her sewing, soliloquized: "I don't know what'll become of me in the hereafter if this servant problem doesn't solve itself. I can't keep track of the deliberate and conscious falsehoods I've told in the way I told one to that woman who just went up, the street. She's the third that has promised me faithfully to comp-to-morrow morning at seven, and to all-of-them I have declared that I was dependent on them and would expect them. Suppose that more than one should come to-morrow at seven sharp—what could I do? But two at a time never yet have come, so I suppose I am not taking great chances. I haven't a bit of doubt that the girl who just left me has promised half a dozen others that she'll be there to-morrow morning without fail. If she finds any of the other places still vacant before she gets to me she'll stay. Isn't it too bad that things go this way?"—Chicago News. Enjoyment For Tommy.

THE TEMPERANCE PROPAGANDA CONCERTED-ATTACK ON DRINK WINNING ALL-ALONG LINE. Does Proliobition Prohibit? Your article "Does Prohibition Prohibit?" which depicts a group of several lawyers and ex-Judge expressing the horrible evils of prohibition, makes one wish that at least one more lawyer could have been added to the group to give from his personal knowledge the results of the enforcement of prohibition in Kansas City, Kan. If C. W. Trickett, Assistant Attorney-General of Kansas, had been present he would have stated the facts which appear below, culled from one of his speeches, and which I have taken the palms to have verified by communication direct with his office. On June 8, 1906, Mr. Trickett was appointed a solicitor of Attorney-general for Wyandotte County, which included Kansas City, Kan., a city of about 90,000, inhabitants, and Argentine, a city of about 10,000 inhabitants. At that time there were in the county 256 open-saloons; 200 gambling dens and sixty houses of social evil. Of the saloons 210 were in Kansas City, Kan., twenty-two saloons were in Argentine, and twenty-four in other localities. Thirty days later there was not a saloon in the county. Of the 96,000 population in Kansas City, Kan., a large part were foreigners. It was and is a manufacturing city and the metropolis of the State: Time and again there had been outbreaks of the undesirable citizens burning property, wrecking trains, destroying lives. A few months before the city had elected by 2000 majority a Mayor whose platform was "Damm the Constitution and laws of the State of Kansas." When Mr. Trickett was appointed under instructions to enforce the prohibitory law in Kansas City, Kan., he was met by delegation after delegation of business men to protest against the closing of the saloons. They said if the saloons were closed it would stop the city's growth, destroy the business of the merchants, deplete the deposits of the banks, stop the greedion of buildings, render houses vacant, increase taxation, reduce the price of real estate, cause people to go over to Kansas City, Mo., to do their shopping and would ruin the town generally. The delegations were composed of bankers, real estate men, inmber men and business interests and professions generally. The delegation needed to enforce the law, with the result that the same men who came to protest now admit their mistake and, declare that if the State administration ever sets up they will raise any amount of money necessary to prevent going back to the old regime. In the first twelve months after closing saloons the combined deposits of the city banks increased one and a half million dollars. Mr. Trickett says: "The real estate man says rents are higher than ever before." "The lumber man says so many new buildings are being erected that it is almost impossible to supply the demand, and this in mid-winter." "The taxpayer finds that it has put money into the public treasury instead of increasing taxes." "The furniture dealer finds that his selling-more furniture than ever before." "The timekeeper of one of the large packing houses tells me that if the saloons are kept closed they could afford an increase in wages, because of the increased efficiency of the men." The shoe man reports likewise. "Recently Mr. Newton, of the firm of Dengel & Newton, stated to me that one astonishing feature of the increase in their line was that it was largely in footwear for women and children. Why is it that when the saloons are closed the women and children buy more shoes?" Here are some of the effects on crime: Reduced expense of criminal prosecutions more than $25,000 per year. Smaller police force required, making another saving of $25,000. The criminal docket in District Court shows that before the saloons were closed it required six or more weeks to try criminal cases. Since closing the saloons no term has exceeded five years. Before the saloons were closed there were from ten to thirty in the police court every morning. Since then very few arrests. On September 11, 1906, the Star reported that not a single arrest had been, made in twenty-four hours. In the fall of 1906 a carnival was given with 50,000 persons gathered in the heart of the city and parading the streets. There was no drunkenness, no picking of pockets, no rowdyism. No longer need for a detective force; thieves and burglars followed the saloon out of the city. In January, 1907 the police Judge of Argentine said: 'They are not one case now, where there were fifteen before.' Formerly from fifteen to twenty young men were sent from Wyandotte. County to the reformatory. With the saloons closed Wyandotte County sent only two prisoners in a year. What was done in Kansas City could be done in New York City. The same problems, of lawless, element and foreign, population were met there as would be encountered here. Prohibition may not prohibit, but regulation does not seem to regulate. No law ever passed is more persistently and fragrantly violated than the high license Raines law—Alfred L. Manlere, in the New York Evening Sun. Temperance Notes. First, the man takes a drink; then the drink takes a drink; then the drink takes the man. City officials believe, that in future Chicago's income from saloon licenses will never fall below $7,000,000 a year. Arkansas' law prohibits the drinking of intoxicant spirits in the State on station platforms, though framed only to put down rowdyism; will materially affect the business of the buffet car. eee so nr’ ge PREETI ee eR ee ee Re Ee ae ae, “= ae r * -_ e = * a a a & ™* d ‘ - * gh . woe ‘ eas si S88 x 3% 2 2 a - , G 3 a d | representatives to the Berean Associatiba : Be het ae League at Boston, nine years ago. | iltom, Jr., who secmedto have pleased | rep et > - 5 ats . ae » Ad: by Mr. xt week to represent the church and JHE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE tieriiinnatng elfect upon Nogro| Css tca Suse nchcll, Te ear’ well | Women's: Mlssicasry departments. “Mir PMade in Savannah me s business - enterprise ‘which this} rendered, A Soreet alo. was the next |O F Waters goes as district representa- : Pustisuzp Every SaTurpay ay League has been oxerting under] festure which was rendered by Mr. Frank j tive to Atlanta to the BY P U and Bun- THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING 00. th 0 "a! ction of Dr. Booker ‘T,|Lendon.

How far will this go Visrrozs to our city commend us for the many and varied kinds of business enterprises that we have amongus, The number of these enterprises should be doubled. Our men of money can cause this and too, give employment te more of our boys and girls, Ir the money that our people spend during the summer for ex- cursions and outings could be in- vested in homes and business en- terprises it would be far more ben- eficial. We spend too much money for the artificial things of life. It is high time for our people in this community to begin to save their small means and secure themselves homes, etc. A Br, has been introduced in the Legislature requiring candi- dates for county school commis- sioner to be examined and pass an average of 85 per cent, in order to become eligible for said place, This is as it should be. Numerous complaints have been made about the commissioners who are unable to cope even with the children in the lower grades. ‘Tuer is no grester field for in- vestment thanthe idle lands of this County. Within a radiusof a few miles of the city many pieces of vacant land can be purchased at 8 reasonable sum, and at terms to suit even the laboring men. This is an excellent chence for our men, especially the younger ones to in- vest their money. By doing so now, Within the next few years these lands will be doubly enchan- ed in value. Not only should our men make purchases of this kind, but those of us who own such Isnds should cultivate them in sucha manner is to make them more profitable. There is no use allowing the lands to grow up in weeds when the same can bé clean- ed away and planted, if in nothing else but hay which finds a ready home market. Tue deliberate degredation to which all colored men, irrespective cheracter or attainments are subjected in America is bound to react to the detriment of the white raee, for, 2s Booker T. Washing- ton hes rightly said, ‘You cannot keep a man in the gutter unless you stay in the gutter with him.” ‘No scheme of progress which fails to include the entire people, will improve our civilization, In @ sense every man is his brother’s keeper, for if he allows his brother to be diseased either morally or physicslly, he endangers his own well being. This is a truth to which many of us have been blind and not until it is generally realiz- ed will the nation achieve sny great progress in uplifting its citizenship.—New York Evening Mail. Natienal Business Learcue. ‘4be ninth annual convention of the National Negro Business Lea- gue whichis to be held at Louis- ville, in ‘told Keatucky” Wednes- dsy, Thursday and Friday, August 18,19 and 20th, promises to be ons the most interesting and best attended convention that have been held since the organization of the League at Boston, nine years ago. The'stimulating effect upon Negre business - enterprise ‘which this League has been oxerting under the direction: of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his official staff has been clearly seen and appreci- ated and, in part, explain the League’s constantly -' increasing membership. The League wel- comes to its membership every man and woman of the race who.is engaged or interested in some worthy Negro business enterprise and only a nominal charge of $2 per ‘year is expected from each member, which membership fund is used in prosecuting the work and extending the influence of the organization; this membership fee of $2 also procures for each dele- gate a badge which entitles the delegate to a seat upon the floor of the convention as well as free ad- mission and service at the annual banquet and at all of the other so: cial functions provided by the Lo- cal Committee for the benefit of delevates.

The history of the clubs was read by Mrs. R E Wright. Rev. Wright led the song “‘Sunlight in my soul todav” He welcomed the clubs in bis usual {dignified manner. He referred to many things that were listened to with much ~faterest. His text was from St. John 17:15, sub- ject ‘*I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world but that thou shouluest keep them from evil.” This subject was exceedingly appropriate es- peclally when you looked over the clubs and saw the many young people to whom he was preaching. The sermon was so full of good advice and instructions that it witl tarnieh food for thought to all Who heard him fer along time. He said, in closing ‘No one should live so sclish that they cannot be used, We should live to help each other.” The choir sang “Glory Leto the fathere” ‘Did Christ o'er sinner weep” was led by Rev.

At 9:30 v'clock, the Bishop addressed the Sunday schcol. At 11 o’elock the chorch was as usual comfortably crowded and Intense interest was created when the speaker of that hour was announced in an able way by Rev. WT Moore, Bee The speaker was Bishop Holsey. is morning lesson was read from the 46th Psalms; his second lesson St. Joka 1431-16. The sermon was delivered in an eloquent manner as characteristic of the man he is, The least that can be sald of the sermon is that it was full of inspiration and enlightenment and it kad its effect upon the hearers, It was one of those sermons, the echo of rhich neyer dies out of the hearts and minds of those so blessed to hearit.

Early Friday morning last Mrs. Mosiana Milledge, relict of T. A. Milledge, died, after a short illness. Those who knew Mrs. Milledge loved her. In disposition she was amiable and affectionate. Her home life was beautiful and she easily inspired those who came in contact with her. Mrs. Milledge was of a prominent and one of the best-respected families in the city. Her traveling and having been connected always with people of note, made her an excellent conversationalist and companion. The funeral took place from the Second Baptist Church, of which she was one of the oldest members. The services were conducted by Rev. J. H. May, assisted by Revs. W. L. Jones and J. H. Rogers. The edifice was well filled with friends. The selections by the choir were well rendered, especially so the hymns that were sung by request. Mrs. Milledge left two daughters, Misses Mittie and Mamie two sons, Mr. T. A. Milledge of this city and Mr. William Milledge of New York, two sisters, Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Boifeuillet and a number of other relatives. The friends of the family extend their deep sympathy.

Combating Lice in Chicks. If lice are healthy, the premises kept, clean, and a dust, bath or ashes provided, lice rarely get the upper hand it being through the brood hens, transmitting them to the chickens, that most harm ensues. A hen with many or few lice on her when sitting transmits them to the chickens immediately they are hatched. They are to be found stationary on the chicken's head, above the beak and eyes, and in a few days when they get more plentiful, are to be found behind and on top of head and throat. A simple and effective treatment adopted by the government station in New South Wales, is to place a small quantity of olive oil in a sauce, and the day after hatching dip the finger in the oil and thoroughly run it into the fluff of the chicken's head and under the throat. This will kill the lice if present and if repeated the second or third day there will be little fear of any escaping. When a week or ten days old the chickens should be examined again and if any of the vermin are found at this lice a little kerosene can be added to the olive oil. It is best to anoint oil chickens with the oil immediately after they are hatched, such being a sure preventive of the scourge.—Indiana Farmer. Value of Sheep to Soil. There is no farm animal that better conserves soil fertility than sheep. It is true that wherever considerable flocks are kept the soil has constantly improved in productiveness. This, added to their value for wool and mutton, make sheep most desirable. Every farm of any considerable size can be made better by keeping a flock on it. An experienced sheep grower recently wrote of his own experiences as to sheep, saying that the valuable characteristic of sheep over other kinds of domestic live stock is their ready adaptability to almost any conditions of soil and climate under which successful agriculture can be profitably carried on. In this country there are indeed but few localities that are suitable for crop production and live stock husbandry where sheep cannot be maintained. There first to-day thousands upon thousands of acres over our broad land that could profitably graze sheep, and instead of reducing its available fertility, as is the result of present methods of handling this land could be made to absorb millions of pounds of manurial fertilizer that would become more available from year to year for the production of pasture for grazing purposes and also store in the soil large quantities of soluble plant food for future generations. A potent factor in restoring lands low in available fertility sheep pre-eminently lead all other kinds of live stock—Indiana Farmer. The Wonderberry. Spelling of this much advertised fruit a writer in the Rural New Yorker says: If the berries are no better than those produced by the 'Garden huckleberry'—otherwise plain black nightshade Solanum nigrum—the Wonderberry will not long remain in cultivation. Although the names Solanum gulleense and S. villosum stand for distinct species in some of the most authoritative botanical publications, it is said herbarium specimens, show them to be only forms of Solanum, which is a widely dispersed wild plant. No less credit is due to Mr. Burbank if he has produced a useful novelty by crossing the two geographical forms of a single variable species than if it had a true bi-specific hybrid. The main question remains: Will the Wonderberry make good as a garden fruit any considerable part of the realms put forth by its disseminators? A signed statement by Mr. Burbank reads: The Sunberry, or Wonderberry, is a new fruiting plant which originated in my grounds three years ago. This new fruit was not in existence anywhere on this planet four years ago, but unlike any fruit, ever before known, but most resembles the low-bush blueberry. Vaccinium Pennsylvanicum of the Eastern States. "If the resemblance extends to quality also, the Wonderberry may be rightly named. The low-bush blueberry is everywhere regarded as the most agreeably flavored as well as the earliest of wild huckleberries. Few immititated fruits are better liked." The seeds we planted under glass mounted to sprout. We expect to try come in the open ground. More Silos Needed. More silos are being built every year, but they are not being built fast enough. There were in the State of Iowa last year about 210,000 farms, and there were about 4000 silos at the beginning of the year. The silo is growing in popularity in Iowa and many new ones have been put up since this, estimate was made, but at that there are probably not 5000 in the State at this time. This means that there are, not more than five for each county. In all probability there are as many barns as there are farms. This is as it should be. We cannot have too good barns, but we must begin to realize that the silo is as important as any other building. There is no reason why every barn should not be accompanied by a silo. In fact, a farm without live stock is surely on the road to depletion. They silo makes live stock profitable—checks the farm in its downward course and, start it back toward its original condition of fertility. The silo is about the most important building around the barnyard. Most farmers could keep more stock and would do so if they had more feed. The alloy doesn't increase the amount of feed that the farm produces, but it prevents waste, which is just about as good. Corn packs away so closely in a silo, that it costs less to house corn in this way than in any other. In fact, it is the only possible way to preserve green corn, and that is the condition, in which it contains the greatest feeding value. — Epitomist. Protecting Squash Plants Protecting Squash Plants. The most difficult matter about growing squashes is to protect the vines from the various insects that prey upon them. This is especially true in the home garden and small plots near buildings or near where squashes or other vine crops were grown the previous year, because the insects hibernate in the buildings and in the ground near the vines they fed upon, for the winter. For the stitched cucumber-beetle there is no poison or repellent that will prove effective and satisfactory at all times. We make a box 12x12 inches and six inches high, covered with wire screen, which is set over the hill which the seeds are planted and left-on until the plants get too large. They may be made of an old pine box or other odds and ends and need not overlive cents even if the lumber must be purchased. Another style is made entirely of wire screen by cutting a circular piece of wire screen twenty-four inches in diameter and then folding, over a section, amounting to one-fourth to one-third of the circumference, and fastening with short pieces of small wire pushed through the meshes and the ends twisted together. At retail prices the protectors made this way will cost eight cents each, but they have this advantage over the box style; the light and air have full access to the plants. Another advantage of this style is that the protectors may be nested together and stored easily when no longer needed. If giving coating of coal tar or some weather-proof paint occasionally these protectors should last for years. Some of the smallest beetles can crawl through the meshes of wire screen, but one can easily kill the very few that get inside. For the large brown bug (stinkbug) hand picking is the best remedy. Place shingle or pieces of boards near the hills, and then early in the morning kill the bugs that have collected on the under side during the night. The bugs do this because the board affords them protection from the cool night air. Quite a lot of the striped beetles are caught in the same way and at the same time. Later the young bugs or nymphs may be killed with a spray of kerosene emulsion, while huddled together in the bunches. For the squash borer we must have a trap crop of bush squashes, which are to be planted two or three weeks before the kind to be protected is planted, and which the borers seem to prefer to the other kinds of squashes. Beside drawing the borers the bush squash vines interest, a lot of the other pests also, thus making the fight to protect the other vines, where no screens are used, much easier. The bush or summer squashes if taken when tender and cooked like eggplant are much superior to that well known vegetable. Of course, where the bush squashes are about mature and before—the borers leave the stems to hibernate in the soil the vines should be pulled and destroyed to kill the borer. This should be done about August 1 here in southern Ohio, and the time varies with the latitude. Spraying the first four or five joints of the squash vine (not the leaves) with kerosene-emulsion is a good plan, as also is catching and killing the adult moth, which is very conspicuous and easily found when once known. However, the trap-crop plan will be found to be the most practical and satisfactory method of dealing with the squash borer. In using the above-described screen protectors it is well to remember that the soil should be drawn up about the edges of the box or wire screen and firmed down, so as to be sure that none of the bugs can crawl under the sides. These screens afford the plants protection during the most critical time in their existence and, prevent their becoming stunted, enabling them to make a vigorous growth. W. E. D. in Rural New Yorker. According to the Federal Bureau of Animal Industry, 3 1/2 per cent. of the cattle of the United States are afflicted with tuberculosis. 12:59 The dress is made with waist and for the medium size (twelve years) skirt portions. The waist consists of six and a quarter yards twenty-seven, the front and back portions of the five yards thirty-two or three and New York City.—The dress that can be worn with or without a gimpe as the special day may require is one that fills an important place in the girl's outfit. *This one is simple yet attractive, and can be made from any GIN reasonable material. In the illustration one of the simple, inexpensive printed wash fabrics is finished with padded gdges, but there are a great many available ones. 18:35 The dress is made with waist and skirt portions. The waist consists of the front and back portions of the yoke and the front and back lower portions. These last are finished at their upper edges and arranged over the yoke. The skirt is straight and the two are joined by a belt, while the closing is made invisibly at the back. The quantity of material required for the medium size (ten years) is four and three-quarter yards twenty-four, four and one-eighth yards thirty-two or three and an eighth yards forty-four inches wide. Striped Petticoats. Petticoats of striped sash are to be worn this winter beneath cloth frocks banded with a hem in another color, a black and white stripe having a band of pale blue, a gray and white stripe having a band of leaf green, and so on. The greatest attention is being paid to their fit, as skirts are to fit closely about the hips again and to ture our more than ever at the feet. Walstands will be 'tight and neat again, and we are once more to have the perfectly round waist. Popular Pongee Suits. The popular indoles found at the waist departments are the ceryponed brace of real Cluny or of poodge, for two-piece suits of pongee or natural colored linen. Such suits are in especially high favor, and the variety of indoles found to go with them attests the fact. The Cluny waist is in higher favor, than the net, one that had a rather strenuous vogue a year ago. Jabots of Net. There are jabots of net, linen or batiste, and they are vartously trimmed. Silk Petticoats Used. A considerable number of silk pettoeats will be used. But it looks now as if lingere ones would almost take their place. The lingere ones that are to be worn are dainty and frilly, with lace ruffles and flounces. Girl's Sailor Jumper Sult. The sailor jumper suit is one of the latest and best liked developments of that favorite model, and here is one made from white linen, with bands of blue, which is smart and summer-like in the extreme. The long, loose blouse is drawn on over the head without an opening, and the big sailor collar makes its pretty and appropriate finish. In this case no shield is worn, and for very warm days and for tennis and other outdoor sports that style is a most desirable one, but the shield can be used whenever liked. The suit consists of the jumper and the skirt. The skirt is straight and can be either pleated or gathered at its upper edge, where it can be joined to a fitted body lining or to a belt. The blouse is made with front and back portions. It is faced at the front and the collar is joined to the neck edge. The sleeves are simple plain ones, with cuffs finishing their lower edges. The separate shield can be used and adjusted under the blouse or the body lining can be faced to give the effect; or, again, the suit can be worn without the shield, when the skirt should be attached to a belt in place of the body lining. The quantity of material required for the medium size (twelve years), slx and a quarter yards twenty-seven, five yards thirty-two or three and Tennis Dress three-quarter yards forty-four inches with with two and a quarter yards of banding. Theme: In God's Likeness. Brooklyn, N. Y.—In Holy Trinity, Sunday morning, the Rev. Henry, S. Nash, D. D., of Cambridge, Mass, was the preacher. A very large con- gregation was present. Dr. Nash's subject was, "He was lost. Okkeness, he was." From Psalm 5:15. "When I awake in Thy likeness I shall be satisfied." He said: It seems to me that one of the happy elements in the life of our time regarding spiritual questions is this: That so many honest, earnest men and women find themselves unable to believe in personal immortality. I say that to that me is one of the hopeful signs of our generation, for however deep may be our personal pity for them, who through honest doubt have lost that which means so much to us, yet as a sign of the times it is a sign of extreme hope because students of church history cannot doubt for a reason that the world has been tragically vulgarized, that upon that belief in the life beyond the craft of priesthood has built up an immense body of superstition that appeals to the very opposite in the hearts and souls of men, and who, therefore, if he be a student of history, can doubt that God Himself, the living God who holds in his hands the reins of history, that it is the living God Himself who inspires the honest, earnest doubts and questionings of an increasing body of honorable men and women of our day touching the belief of immortality, and the great He is teaching to the church is this: that God through that doubt is bringing His church to book, and is teaching His church to start where the propheterist started, and not to put the doubt aside, and argue for personal immortality before they have laid the foundation upon which that argument should be built. And every Christian to-day who thinks, and to whom personal immortality is the very breath of his daily life says to us, and every Christian who thinks agrees with the men and women who doubt or deny personal immortality, that here is where we all start, whether inside the church or outside; here. I say, is where we start; the one thing that we all hold ourselves responsible for is good housekeeping, good housekeeping here upon earth, and in time, in space. But what we mean by housekeeping? And the problem is how to keep one loyal life, life generous and self-rewarding, when life brings upon us increasing burdens of responsibility and disappointments and cares and pain and death. How to be loyal to life! That is the test, and by it the church of Christ is content to stand. By her ability to answer that question she would test her theology and her creed and her sacraments. Let us take a parable from the apple tree. The apple tree is waiting just now confidently for the springtime. We thoroughly doubt and deny that old saying that "One swallow does not make a summer." The philosopher and the man of common sense have always affirmed that as if it were an ultimate truth regarding life. What a wretched, narrow, perverted, stricken world it would be if the philosopher and the theologian controlled the world in the way it was not a pet and a prophet in it. The prophet would say, if it knew a little history, "Well, I am inclined to think that the agnostic and the infallible theologian are twins." And it is only because the church has set up the infallible theologian as the teacher of the world that now the layman is putting the theologian into his place, that now the layman's work has created the dogma of the agnostic in order to counterweigh and overcome the dogma of the infallible. I know just a very little about God, but without that little I could not live and without that little I could not look forward to comfortably standing on the edge of spring. I could not look forward to proficiency to my great task and joy and pride in my blossom and fruit. And the parable when we translate it into prose, would come down to this: how to be loyal to life. First of all, we must be unconquerably strong, strong. And what shall the kind of our strength be? Two kinds — the strength to do and the strength to bear. And of the two, the strength to bear is the greater, because the strength simply to dc is always beset by temptation to vanity and to egotism. A preacher knows that he is never in such deadly peril of egotism as when he is preaching, the mere joy of preaching, of the utterance of expression. The preacher who knows his own confidence knows that he is never at any time so near to the devil that he is in the pulpit, and all of us know that if you take a man of force, some man who wields a tremendous business power, and if one dared to bet on such a tragic thing one would wager 100 to 1 that that man behind his own door is a tyrant, a tyrant because the intoxication of power has gone to his head. But when it comes to strength in hearing there is no allusion there. When God has given us our burden of pain, disillusionment and disappointment, and when by His grace and the sweet companionship of the Saviour we have learned to so bear our burdens that nobody but God ever kidns what it is, to so bear it that the burden in our hearts is none but God and not even to our dearest friend and closest kin, there is no illusion about that; no egoism about that. It is just as the college boy would say, "to stand and take it." That is the kind of strength that is pure strength; and the problem of life is how to become strong to do and equally strong to bear the burdens that life imposes. As the little candle is little brother to the sun, so aspiration of self-knowledge and self-mastery to us, if one may, so speak—the little brother of God, the infinite and the eternal, and we can be strong to bear' and come to cause we have God eternal in our hearts to give us the needed endurance. MORE PINKHAM CURES Added to the Long List due to This Famous Remedy. ```markdown ``` Gardiner, Me. — "I was a great sufferer from a female disease. The doctor said I would have to go to the hospital for an operation, by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound completely cured me in three months." —Mrs. S. A. WILLIAMS, R. F. D. No. 14, Box 93. Gardiner Me. Because your case is a difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ill, such as inflammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, perioditis, and other symptoms of feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and nervous prostration. It costs but a trifle to try it, and the result is worth millions to many suffering women. An Odd Competition Among the Hairdressers of Paris. The hairdressers of Paris have hitherto contented themselves for the most part with arranging coiffes. They have now added the art of making faces to match the coiffes. Under the auspices of the Hairdressers Union of Paris a "competition de grimece" was held at L'Academie École Francaise de Collure in the Boulevard de Strasbourg. The subject set for competition was for the hairdressers to make themselves to represent as lifelike as possible the various rulers and sovereigns of the world. In the remarkable procession which paraded in the halls of the hairdressing academy were seen more or less successful presentations of King Edward, the Czar, the German Emperor, the Emperor Francis Joseph, the Mirazo, President Fallieres, King Alfonso, the Emperor Menellk, the Sultan and various other eminent personages. The prix d'honneur, a medal presented by the Prefect of the Selne, was won by M. Monti.—London Telegraph. DOWN TO BRASS TACKS.

The story of great discoveries or inventions is always of interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct, was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words, before he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength. He knew that a food which was a brain and nerve builder (rather than a mere fat maker) was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centres is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. The he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. It contains the brain and nerve building, food elements in condition for easy digestion. The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is sally seen in a marked sturdiness and activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a stimulant, but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavour is charming, and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Post, is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape-Nuts. Look in pksr for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." "There's a Reason." -& ALL TOGETHER! : R £ ILD a ee aioe.

C.—The experl- ments in naval ordnance, for which the last naval appropriation act con- tains an appropriation of $10v,006, now available, will be conducted in secret. For some time the naval ord- nance officers have been anxious to conduct certain tests which require much expense, and which could not be made- out of the usual allotment for the naval bureau of ordnance. It was not expected that Congress would make provision for such 2 purpose, largely for the reason that objection prevailed in some quarters to the ex- penditure af public funds in direc- tions which did not always show tang- ible results. It was pointed out, however, that the beneficial effect of the tests would be no less real mere- Jy because new material was not be- ing acquired. There wag much fn the way of theory which it was de- sired to supplant by actual knowledge obtainable only by tests. So many questions have arisen among the ex- perts as to the relative ‘efficiency ot varlous elements of offence and de- fence that they are highly gratified to have an opportunity to settle them. One of the most important tests is that which” will show whether the armor now being placed on American dattleships will resist the projectiles of high power guns at battle ranges. Guns are now fired in tests at short range with velocities which are estt- mated to equal that which would exist if the" distance were what is known as a battle range. It is as- serted by mariy that the armor will not serve its purpose. Actual experi- ments in firing at such ranges against armor supported in the same manner as on a battleship have never been carried ont, and no one knows what the actual effect will be, ~ Another question is whether high ‘explosive shells will have the effect claimed for them and whether the pressure of the gases of such a vio- lent explosion will blow in the armor side of a battleship. Then, too, it is desired to know what will be the ma- terial effect of such explosives cn the personnel and whether the structure of the ship will stand it. Connected with such an experiment {s the de- termination of the maximum depth to which a twelve-inch shell will pen- etrate the water at battle ranges and the effect of the explosions on the underwater hody, Tests will_also be conducted to determine the resist- MUIR GLACIER FREE OF BERGS, Strange Changes Wrought by a Subterranean Earthquake in the Famous Alaska Ice River, ~ Victoria, B.

It may develop that the armor now used will not exclude torpedoes, in which event the disclosure would be disconcert- ing, to say the least. It would have its” value, however, in showing to what extent and in what direction improvements must be installed to give exterfor armor its necessary power to resist such a form of naval attack. . It {s also proposed to ascertalp whether the turrets as now con- structed and equipped on battleships will withstand the impact of heavy projectiles at battle ranges. It is a question whether there will’ not be under such an attack materlal dam- age to the structure itself, to the sights, the electric and other gun gear contained in the turrets. It is important in this connection to as- certdin whether the sights now in- stalled on the twelve-inch turret would be permanently disabled by six-lich gun fire, which demonstra- tion would show whether it fs neces- sary to design a turret that can be disabled only by heavy gun fire. One pf the important experiments will be with movable water planes in- stalled on the sides of. a battleship, operated automatically, eo as to di- minish the roll,of a vessel, and so {m- prove the accuracy of gun fire in time of battle. The record target practice ‘of the Atlantic ficet this summer will jbe with the vessels rolling. so as to ascertain if the target could be bit lunder the most adverse conditions at sea in time of war. It fs also desir- able to ascertaln if under such unfav- orable conditions it would be possl- ble to offset the influence of the sea and contribute to the stability of the ship as a gun platform. It is appre- clated that anything which improves marksmanship on board ship fs a di- rect and vital contribution to the fighting power of the navy. These are only a few of the snb- Jects which will be taken up by the nave} ordnance officers during this fiscal year.

First. As an Odd Fellow who sloves the principle of Friendship, “Love and Truth, I profoundly regret t see the deplorable condition that now confronts us, Your present offi cers have proven to be your bosses, instead of your servants, Secondly, The recent deal made by -our present officers in purchasing a nlace of property in’ Atlanta for twen- tytwo thousand dollars ($22,000) out cof the Widows’ and Orphans’ money is a Uving jndication of bossism. If “yon can show me one scintilla of law Among the Masons. ‘The Suspension List of the second quarter has been published and sent out to each lodge in the jurisdiction whose officers are on record. This is an important part of our work and each lodge should keep in close touch with its contents. Echoes of the recent Grand Lodge ‘communication continue to reach us from the brethren who were in atten ance. These brethren are loud in +praise of the proceedings, and are taking pardonable pride in expiessing the same. There is no need whatever for any vllfferences in our lodges, or among the members. This can be helped -along by practicing the principles of the order and act according to the Golden Rule. . ~ The first haif of the assessment for the Home becomes due In September. ‘Officers of lodges must not wait until ‘September to commence collecting’ jt from the brethren. Begin now and when the time comes there will be no delay in forwarding to Brother Spencer. This is one thing, espec- ially, that we, as Masons, should learn to ‘do, render all reports and returns on time. ‘ ‘Our Home in Americus should be -our pride. No brother should be mean venough to refuse to give 50 cents a year towards fits support. It is just the least bit more than, one cent a week. Let the newly elected Masters look to the moral condition of their lodges, ‘as well as to the ritualistic work. Ma- sonry and morality should go hand in hand. * “The chronic kicker has taken a back seat. This js as it should be. ‘Tho brother who rarely attends his lodge; never reads a Masonig paper; ‘annually comes to be steered into vot- ing for some incompetent brother for Office, injures the status of his lodge. “In the reckoning he rates below par. —Masonic Home Journal. which gives them the tight to make purchases, try appeal cases or any- thing else duing the year the Grand Lodge meets, I will show youga heay- en without ‘stars, in conclusion, if t 4m favored with your election | assure you that 1 will never honor a warrant from Master or Secretary or anyone else unless it comes within the purview of the law. 1 have served you for more than two years in the position of Grand Director. 1 ‘perfofmed the duties of that cffice to the best of my ability and judgment. Whilst a member of the Executive Committee I fought and opposed every injurious measure, whether [ have been able to defeat them or not, 1 reported the condition of affairs to you as it existed in a minaiity report at Macon, Ga, two pears ago, Never before in the history Of the Grand Lodge where one of its off- cers had the moral courage to differ ‘from the majority and submit a mi- notity 1eport to the District Grand Lodge, Those of you who were at Macon will remember that the board and its friends fought me a day and a half to keep me from reporting. Again, if elected I-assure you that 1 wilt never “polson the water, nor muddy the stream that flows from the altar of Friendship, Love and Truth. My motts will be: “Peace, good will “to all Fiaternally, R. B. HEGGS. SELF-SACRIFICING BROTHERS. ‘There are comparatively few lodges in existence the success of which has not resulted from the efforts of some stifsaerificing brother who year after year has ungrudgingly given his time and energy for the benefit of- the Ice in the office of secretary. To the credit of the fraternity be it said that in the majority of cases these services are recognized and appre- ciated. The secretary as a rule Is the brother upon whom the newly-in- stalled Worshipful Master relies for advice and guidance, and the younz member Icohs to him for information and knowledge.—London Freemason. JACHIN. <All Masons have heard the explana- tion of the pillar, of Solomon's Tem- ‘ple named Jachin, but many of them do not know that Jachin was a real character, nor that a family of Jach- inites existed when Moses ‘numbered the people of Israel, Jachin was a son of Simeon, who was a son of Ja- cob afd Leah. He Is named in Ex- cdus 11:15, and in Numbers 34:12. In I Chronicles 9:24, he fs called Ja- rib, Jachin means “God confirms”— he that stfengthens and makes stead- fast,” and Jarib means “adversary— fighting, chiding, multiplying, aveng- ing.” 2 Boaz is tripartite; Joachim is dual —Body and Soul—John W. Brown, NO DOLLARS IN MASONRY. * There are no dollars and cents in Freemasonry, no discounts, no selfish ends to be attained; but there is a field of action for the best men of all classes, a field of research for the scholar, a field of aestheticyenjoyment for the artist, a fleld of humane en- deavor for the lover of humanity, a field of sogial enjoyment’ for social beings—in short, the world of Mason- ry, and even of humanity, for whoever seeks to benefit his fellows'and culti- ‘vate his own higher nature, and shall have been unanimously approved by Free and Accepted Masons—The Key- stone, ee °OUR GOAL. “The desien of the Masonic institu: a model/ embracing ali the cardinal virtues, ‘ It is not enough that the outer court of the Temple. of Masonry be entered; that the obligations to be good and true are taken at its altar, and that the profession be assumed. This ig, but the-beginning—the mere Jaying 8f the corner stone, But as the foundation Is not the structure, though bearing an essential relation to it, so the entrance upon a Masonic Ife ts important as a beginning, but it is not the pursult—not fhe goal. The regulation of the lifeeand the cultivation of every virtue that adorns humanity, becomes the duty of all who bear the name of Mason, and he betrays his trust and belies hfs pro- fession whose constant aim is not to form gn erect and solid tharacter.

Moon of Cor- dele writes us as follows: “Please allow me space to say a féw words fiom ar old friend concerning the Grand Lodge. I am compelled to say that it was the best that I have ever attended. It gets better each year. [am inspired more than ever. I have always loved Masonry. The true spir- it and. works put forth by our be- loved Grand Master and his assistants will surely cause the weak brethren to Miraw near and take hold of the work. It is only hoped that the breth- ren’ will continue to worl: in harmony with the present officers and there will"be no cause of complaint in this jurisdictjon, and the craft will be elevated too high for confusion.
