The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXIV. PATTEN BJLLS WHEAT Chicago Operator Forces Up Price of Cereal. CORNER ON JULY DELIVERY Price Jumps to $1.25, and It Is Said $1.50 Will Be Reached—Flour Advances. Chicago, Ill.—Wheat for July delivery advanced 7 cents during a stormy session on the board of trade, establishing a new high record mark for the season, and giving promise of a repetition of the recent "deal" headed by James A. Patten and his colleagues in the May option. The top mark reached by the July delivery was 1.27, compared with $1.20 the closing figures of the previous day. The immediate cause of the buying flurry, which resulted in the sensational advance, were additional rainfall in Kansas and Missouri, where the new crop of wheat is now being harvested or is awaiting the visit of the thresher, and dispatches from other harvesting and wheat-shipping sections of the country telling of damage to the new crop by excessive rains. Numerous reports were received from points in Illinois, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Tennessee, which claimed that the wheat already harvested is sprouting in the shock owing to the unfavorable weather There is practically no wheat suitable for delivery on contracts in this city at the present time and what little there is belongs to the Pitten interests. The leader of this clique succeeded in merchandising the grain delivered to him during the closing days of the May corner and sold to him for this month's delivery. When shorts went to him early in the day with offers of settlement it is claimed they were told to buy the grain in the pit. The attempt to carry out this line of action was the cause of the 7-cent bulge. Twice during the day the pit was thrown into a turmoll, first when 5 cents was added to the price of the July delivery during the first half-hour of trading and again near the close, when 2 more points were added to the total. Demand was so fierce at the start that the price between sales jumped from 1-4 to 1c at a leap. A wild shout arose when the price touched $1.25 and predictions were freely made that $1.50 would be reached before the end of the month, the result of the sharp advance in wheat prices, flour was marked up 10 to 20 cents for the, best descriptions of old wheat variety, while new wheat flour was advanced 10 cents per barrel. EATAL AUTOMOBILE EXPLOSION. Two Killed, Six Hurt, When Machine Ran Into Bridge. Sylvanla, Ga.—Two persons are dead, two mortally injured, while three others are more or less seri- ously hurt, as the result of an ex- plosion of the gasoline tank on the touring car of George M. Hill at Jack- sonboro bridge, five miles from this place. The dead are: Hewlett Hill, Miss Fannie Mills; and the fatally injured: George M. Hill, Jr., twin-brother of Hewlett Hill. Mr. and Mrs. Hill had taken a party of young people for a moonlight outing. While preparing to leave for borthe the car was accidentally locked the tank containing compressed gasoline being ripped off. The fluid was thrown over the occupants and the flames quickly spread, cover- ing the entire party. Several youths gave such aid as they could, but it was not until se- eral of the shrieking women were dragged into the waters of the creek that the flames were extinguished. SOUTHERN CITIES INVITE TAFT. People of Columbus and Florence Aniotic to See the President Anxious to See the President. Washington, D. C.—Representative Adamson of Georgia assured President Taft that his western-southern trip this fall would be a Tailfare if he did not stop at Columbus, Ga., when he is in that state. The president intimated that he might oblige the Columbus people. Representative Richardson of Alabama wanted the president to include Florence, Ala., in his itinerary. GIRL KILLS HERSELE Sister Married Cousin Who Had Been Attentive to Both. Nashville, Tenn.—Miss Cora Fields, aged 21, on hearing that her sister, Miss Frances, had married their cousin, Will H. Carothers, who had been to the nursing home, shot and killed herself at the home of her uncle, near Vernon, Tenn. All the parties are prominent in Hickman county. PAUPERS WILL MARRY. Inmates of Georgia Poor Farm Ar dently in Love. Waynesboro, Ga.—A wedding will take place at the pauper farm soon. The happy couple have long passed the age of the billing and cooling dove stage of life, yet they are ardently in love. At the meeting of the county commissioners they petitioned for permission to be allowed to wed. Mr. Smith is the name of the groom and Mrs. Rush is the name of the "blushing" bride. They are inmates of the county poor farm, and are highly respected by their associates there. Congratulations are being extended in advance of het happy event. CENSUS PLACES FOR THE SOUTH. Republicans and Democrats to Share Enumerators' Jobs Washington, D. C.—President Taft discussed with his cabinet the distribution of census patronage in the south. The senators of several of the southern states recently have consulted with the president on this subject and he has told them in a broad way that his policy will be to name enumerators without regard to political affiliations, the desire being to get the best available men for these responsible and difficult positions. Republicans and democrats will share in the appointments throughout the south. Postmaster General Hitehcocke likely will be consulted extensively in the filling of census offices. Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor, under whose jurisdiction the census office operates, also will carefully scrutinize the recommendations made by southern senators. EVADING PROHIBITION LAW. Unique Scheme Discovered in Mississippi. Washington, D. C.-A unique scheme to evade prohibition laws has been devised by the incorporation of express companies which operate between states. In the last two or three months several such companies have been incorporated in various parts of the country. In every instance the companies do a business close to state lines. None of them have filed with the interstate commerce commission their annual report and it is understood an effort will shortly be made by the officials of prohibition states to prevent the operation of such companies. The commission received an inquiry from the Mississippi state authorities a few days ago respecting the operations of an express company at Natchez. Mississippi is a prohibition 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 liquors from another state into Mississippi. The beverages are consigned to individuals in Mississippi and are delivered by wagons of the express company. The curious part of the transaction is that the express company was incorporated by dealers in beers and liquors with the evident intention, according to the Mississippi authorities, of evading the stringent state liquor laws. A similar case has arisen in Massachusetts. BUYING NEW EQUIPMENT. Milloin and a Half Will Be Spent by the Southern Railway. Chattanooga, Tenn. - The Southern Railway Company has contracted for the use of $1,400,000 worth of new equipment, as is shown by a lease which was filed in the office of the secretary of state in Nashville. The equipment comprises engines, coaches and baggage cars, and is leased from Edward T. Stoesburry of Philadelphia, Pa. The lot consists of twenty-five consolidated freight engines, ten passenger engines, fifteen six-wheel passenger cars, the chassis cars, the passenger cars, the six-wheel passenger cars, the six-wheel passenger cars, six mail and baggage cars, six postal cars and four dining cars. The contract was sent to the secretary of state of each state through which the road runs. It calls for the payment of $450,152.85 due June 1, 1909, and interest at the rate of 2 1/2 per cent semi-annually on $1,400,000 to be reduced annually as the payments of $70,000 semi-annually are made, until $1,400,000 shall have been so paid. This is one of the largest deals of its kind by a railroad coming into Tennessee for some-time, and is taken as an indication of a general increase in the railroad business. Not Encouraging for Prohibition. Atlanta, Ga.,—Notwithstanding that in the state of Georgia "near-bear" is the nearest approach to the exhilarating beverage that citizens of non-prohibition states 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. This record is in excess of that of the first half of last year 1,123 and almost equals the record for the first six months of 1907 before prohibition was in force. Five Brothers Marry Five Sisters. Columbus, Ky.—A marriage ceremony in Kent county united five sisters to five brothers. Misses Maude, Nellie, Kate, Anne and Susie, Mertn were married to John, Dan, Hugh, Jack and Dick Johnson. Five sisters acted as bridesmaids, and five brothers of the bridegrooms acted as best men. It was proposed to follow the wedding with a honeymoon for the five happy couples, to extend to St. Louis, but the lateness of the crops prevented the men members from leaving home at this time. All are of Kentucky. Why Waterways Have Declined. Washington, D. C.—Lack of practical and commercial unity in the entire inland water system of the United States is the principal text of the report on "Transportation by Water," submitted to the president, Herbert Klox Smith, divisional officer of corporations of the department of commerce and labor. Canary Birds Assist Choir. Cincinnati, Ohio.—Thirty-five canary birds as a part of the choir, and participating in the Sabbath morning musical program, constituted an innovation in the regular religious services at Lincoln Park Institutional Baptist Church. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1909. A MUCH MARRIED MAN As He Enters Penitentiary Bigamist Tells Story of His Life. HAD MARRIED 18 WOMEN C. C. Johnson Admits He Made His Living By Making Love and By Marrying. San Johnson Cal.—Christian C. Johnson sentenced in San Jose to serve seven years in the penitentiary for bigamy, is reported to have confessed that he is the mysterious "John Madson," wanted in many parts of the country for matrimonial ventures and systematic swindling of a number of women under promise of marriage. He declares that he has been married to so many women that he cannot count them off-hand. In 1966, he says, "I quit my business of building horses, and from that day to this time I have been making my living by marrying and making love to women, getting their money, and then deserting them. "I want to say that I married all of the women just to have a good time. The doctors told me I did not have long to live, and I should enjoy myself while I lived. I found pleasure in duping women and getting their money from them. I am not a hypnotist, but I only had to meet a woman a few times and I knew just how to handle her. I have found that it did not pay to be soft and sweet with a woman. Treat her a little harsh and be a little distant and she will come to you." One of his most amazing feats, according to his own confession, was making love to ten women at one time in Portland, Oregon. While he admits that he got money from most of them, and that his marriages were part of a get-rich-quick system, Johnson declares that in every instance he spent the money he received upon the victim herself. Johnson declares that he was born in Germany, and, coming to this country in the 70's, secured a post with the United States government buying horses for the army on commission. This took him all over the country. At first, he says, he was a woman-hater, because he had been separated from a sweetheart in Germany, who died later. He married the first of his many wives in Springfield, Mass., in 1905. She was Mrs. Marie Brown. "I married only one woman under the name of John Madson," Johnson declared. "Her name was Jones—if I remember rightly—Ada Jones." Going on, he became the said he loved me. I could have got $50,000." From most of the women, Johnson says, he obtained money or jewelry or both. Johnson left in custody of a deputy sheriff, for San Quentin p. son, where he is to serve a seven-years' sentence. Of 18 women whom Johnson married, 'according to the confession, seven are from California, four from Missouri, two from Oregon, and one from Texas. They are also seen Illinois and Massachusetts. The one from Tennessee was a Mrs. King, from Memphis; the one from Arkansas, Mrs. Birdie King of Hot Springs. PROSPEROUS ERA PREDICTED. Judge Gary of Steel Trust, Says Good Times Are Coming. New York City—Judge Elbert H. Gary, president of the Steel Trust, sailed for Europe, with his wife, "Business conditions in the United States are excellent," said Judge Gary. "There is no doubt but that several years of the greatest prosperity America ever knew is before us. The tariff bill as it came from the senate is satisfactory. Much credit is due to the senate finance committee for its fairness, discrimination and ability in handling the measure. The bill, as reported by the house, was fair only a few interests, believe protecting the industry, that need protection, but I do not believe in protecting industries that do not need it. Joseph Leiter and his wife were among the passengers on the liner. CORPORATION TAX TRIMKED. House Members Kick on Not Getting a Change to Talk. Washington, D. C.-Members of the house do not like the suggestion that they shall have no oppunity to debate the senate corporation tax amendment, which was cut from 2 to 1 per cent by President Taft at a white house conference. There are many members on the republican side of the house who are opposed to the corporation tax and insisted on the right. A movement has been started, it is said, to have a rule reported that will provide for a separate vote on the corporation tax amendment. "DBYS" TO CONTEST ELECTION Claim That 125 Votes Were Illegally Cast in the Bristol Election. Bristol, Va.—On the ground that 125 votes cast in the local option election held here, which resulted in a victory for the wets, by 32 majority, were illegal, the temperance leaders have decided to contest the election, and selected a committee to file suit attacking the legality of the recent election. The dry victory in Ricanoke, Va. some weeks ago by a majority of 82 was set aside. The city is still wet. COTTON NEEDS RAIN. Improvement Is Shown In Some of the States. Memphis, Tenn.—The following is the Commercial-Appeal's summary of the week's cotton crop condition: Returns from the cotton crop this week are mixed. Improvement is noted in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, northern and eastern Texas. No improvement on loss occurred in North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, and central, southern and western Texas. The plant in Arkansas, Oklahoma and northern Texas is large, fruiting well, thrifty and full of promise. East of the Mississippi river, although improvement has taken place as noted, the plant is small and not always healthy and apparently stands are bad. Heavy rains in North and South Carolina delayed cultivation and much grass is still complained of. Dry weather there is greatly desired. Much apprehension exists throughout central and western Texas of a summer drought. It has not rained there for two weeks or more and temperatures have been very high. The plant shows the effect. As yet no great damage has resulted, but it is believed that the crop has reached a point where it will soon deteriorate without moisture.,Boll weevils are numerous in Louisiana, but elsewhere complaints are not frequent. PUBLICITY FOR TUBERCULOSIS EIGHT. Bill Posters and Distributors Donate $1,200,000 in Advertising. Atlanta, Ga.—The Bill Posters and Distributors of the United States and Canada, in session here, by unanimous action voted to give space and publicity for six months in the 3,400 towns and cities, in which they operate billboards, to the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which, if paid for, at regular rates would cost the association $1,200,000. That this action 'was meant, and meant sincerely was evidenced by the amendment to the original resolution which changed the wording of it from the "association hereby requests" to "the association hereby directs" so that there will be no evasion even if such were desired at any point in the country. President Chennell, in speaking of the question, stated he believed that he could have the paper on which the advertisements were printed, furnished by the paper mills free; the ink with which they are printed donated free; and the railroads to haul them over the country free. BANK OFFICER SHORT $100,000. Officer of Hibernia Bank and Trust Co. of New Orleans, Armed. C. O. of New Orleans Arrested. New Orleans, L.A., Layett H. Ingram, Jr., office of the Hibernia Bank and Trust Company of New Orleans was arrested at his home here on the charge of being a defaulter and forger. It is alleged that he is between $75,000 and $100,000 short in his accounts. The trust officer is said to have confessed to Vice President Pool of the Hibernia Bank that his defalcations would approximate $100,000. Ingram for a number of years has stood high in business and social circles of New Orleans. ELKS ELECT OFFICERS J. U. Sammis defeats Garry Herrmann in Bitter Contest. Los Angeles, Cal. — The Grand Lodge of Elks elected the following officers: Exalted ruler, James U. Sammis, Lemars, Iowa; leading knight, Warren G. Sayres, Wabash, ind.; lecturing knight, J. D. Jones, Scranton, Pa.; George, J. F. Jones, Robbin, Dubuque, Iowa; treasurer, Edwin R. Leach, New York; trusts, Perry A. Clay, Denver; tyler, Chas. L. Dickey, Bemidjil, Minn.; guard, A. M. Taylor, St. Augustine, Fla. Detroit was selected for the reunion in 1910. GoL Pointer's Body Sent South. New York City.—The body of Colonel Marcellus Pointer, the friend and aide de-camp of General Joseph Wheeler, who died in a hotel on the Bowery, was sent, to Memphis, Tenn., for burial. Philip Pointer of Como, [Miss], the old soldier's brother, asked that the body be sent to his Newsy Paragraphs. Within one hundred yards of the grave of John Alexander Dowle, fifty Methodists will soon erect a church in Zion City, IL. This is the first demonstration against Dowleism in the city of its founder, and a fight is expected. Overseer Voliva is said to be dead, because he would rather have a saloon in the confines of Zion City than a Methodist church. The legislature of North Carolina has passed a law requiring all railroads within the state to equip their engines with electric headlights. The greatest aeroplane flight on record was completed at Etamps, France, by M. Blerlot, the noted French aeronaut, whose straighaway flight of twenty-eight miles, completed in fifty-six minutes, is the most marvelous ever made in a heavier than air machine. The Wright brothers have been in the air longer and have made flights which for distance exceed the Blerlot flight, but as they have always flowed in a circle over a circumference held defiant after attempted cross-country flight. M. Blerlot's journey is a world's record. It is officially reported in Canton, China, that one hundred and seventy-four deaths from the bubonic plague and thirty-six deaths from cholera occurred there during the last two weeks. NOW UP TO THE STATES Income Tax Question-Submitted to the Different Legislatures. SOUTHERN STATES TO RATIFY Georgia, Alabama and Texas Desire Distinction of Being the First to Ratify Amendment. Washington, D. C.—It is now up to the legislatures of the several states to say whether there shall be an income tax amendment to the constitution. By the decisive vote of 317 to 14, more than the necessary two-thirds, the house passed the senate joint resolution providing for the submission of the question to the states. The belief is that southern senators and congressmen that the states of the south will unanimously ratify the proposed amendment to the constitution providing for the level of an income 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 legislature in the north and west. Members of the Texas delegation wired Governor Campbell of that state, urging him to call the legislature together for the purpose of ratifying immediately the proposed constitutional amendment. Representative Hobson of Alabama has wired. Governor Corner suggesting that when he issues the call for the forthcoming session of the general assembly 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 ratifying the amendment, for the reason that the legislature of that state is already in session. SOUTH'S PROSPERITY DISCUSSED. Diversity of Agriculture is the Cause, Save Railway President. New York City.—A greater diversification of agriculture is attributed to the prosperity which the south is enjoying by President W. W. Finley of the Southern Railway. After attending a directors' meeting here and before starting for Washington, Mr. Finley said that the higher prices of wheat had led the southern farmer to grow crops other than that of cotton, and that this had been such a great success that the continued prosperity of the southern states was assured. This fact and the large increase in cotton manufactures had brought much money into the cotton Colts mills to the south had proved so successful, said 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 England mills, and possibly to the Liverpool market. "TENDERFOOT" WAS SCARED. Nine Texans Were Not Killed by the Mexican, Outlaws. El Paso, Texas.—A "tenderfoot," frightened by a fake attack upon the camp of a party of horsemen near Afton, N. M., was responsible for the spreading of a tale of the wholesale murder of the men by a band of Indians and Mexicans. Officers who hurried to the scene reported that the thing was a hoax. The men, driving horses overland, had spent Sunday in the blood-curving series to a stranger within their midst, and had followed this up at night by shooting and shouting. The new arrival escaped, and gave out the report of an attack and the murder of his companions. LAKE STEAMERS COLLIDE 14 Lives Are Lost When Ships Went to the Bottom. Salt St Marie, Mich.—Three minutes after the steel steamers, Isaac M. Scott and John B. Cowle, had collided in Lake Superior, the Cowle had gone to the bottom in fifty fathoms of water, carrying with her fourteen member of her crew. The Scott, although badly damaged, put back to this port, where she arrived with part of the crew of the Cowle. MEAT INSPECTION LAWS DISREGARDED Another Meat Inspector Makes Charges Against Packers. East St. Louis, Ill.-Julish Bishop, one of the government inspectors, who was discharged after he had sustained the allegations of James F. Harms against the meat inspection system in the packing houses here, issued a sworn statement, giving his testimony before the committee sent here by Secretary Wilson, to investigate Harms' charges. Bishof's charges against the inspection system are more serious than those made by Harms. When the conferees on the tariff bill began work it was with the knowledge that the amendments to the lumber schedule, over which a context was certain, would be reached before adjournment. The house members were expected to make a strong fight for "dollar lumber," which was defeated in the senate. In assisting to lay the corner stone of a church in Washington which has as part of its equipment a gymnasium, a swimming pool, bowling alleys and club rooms, President Taft took occasion to pay a tribute to the civil employe of the government who, being compelled to remain in Washington while the president goes to the seashore and legislators seek their vacation, carries on the work of the government. NO43. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. Edward Payson Weston completed his 3,975-mile walk from New York when he arrived in San Francisco. Weston is 75 years old. He left New York March 17th to walk across the continent in 100_days, exclusive of Sundays. He arrived five days behind his schedule. Twelve more'deaths due to tetanus as the result of the Fourth of July celebration, were reported throughout the country. This brings the total deaths due to observance of Independence Day from all causes up to 114. News was received at Abbeville, La., that cattle are being killed by the dozens along the Bayou Chienne Au Tigre and Mulberry by mosquitoes. The ravages of the insect are declared to have been more intense this season than ever before in the history of this section. Haron Oskar Rothschild,-the youngest son of Albert Rothschild, head of the Austrian branch of the Rothschild house, died suddenly in Vienna, Austria. It is reported that he committed suicide because of an unfavourable love affair. Baron Oskar was twenty-one years old. Washington. The old Anacostia bridge over which John Wilkes Booth sped his horse to escape from an infiltrated city the night he shot Lincoln, is to be torn down soon. It is over half a century old. The district commissioners will receive proposals for the razing of the old landmark, a new structure connecting Washington proper with the suburb of Anacostia having been completed. Upon request of the state department, the navy department has dispatched the cruiser Tacoma from Guantanamo to Baranquilla, Colombia, the hotbed of the present revolution in that country, to protect American life and property. Paxton Hibben, son of the American legation at Bogota, Colombia, dispatched the state department, saying that the Colombian government has closed the ports of Baranquilla and Sabahillia because they were in the hands of the rebels. Mr. Northcote has informed the department that foreigners have not been moleled by the revolutionists and that Americans are not endangered. Only a reasonable charge may be made by a carrier for any interstate shipment of freight, even though the tariff has been filed with the interstate commerce commission covering the shipment. This was the substance of a decision handed down by the commission. In addition the commission exercised authority to determine the reasonableness of the charge made by the carrier in the case of the Memphis freight bureau against the Kansas City Southern railway and others. Ensign Hugh K. Alken of the navy died aboard the armored cruiser North Carolina at Naples, Italy, from injuries resulting from a coal gas explosion. He was born in New Orleans in 1884, and entered the naval service in 1902. Peter Mullan of Brooklyn, N. Y., also was injured slightly at the time of the explosion. Ensign Alken was one of the best known members of the football team while at the naval academy. Considerable alarm is felt in Washington by friends of Congressman Ellerbe and Johnson of South Carolina, because of the fact that both of them are considered seriously ill. Mr. Ellerbe has been a patient in Providence hospital for six weeks with a fractured leg, and he has, it is understood, developed pneumonia. Because of the strict rules being observed at the hospital it is difficult to secure any particulars. Mr. Ellerbe's colleagues in congress are, however, considerably worried over the fact that after apparently getting along nicely and takes his bad turn. Representative McCain was then the floor of the house and was assisted by some of his friends and employees at the capitol. Like the case of Mr. Ellerbe it is almost impossible to secure details, but alarm is felt over his condition. Mrs. Ellerbe is here, and members of Mr. Johnson's family have also arrived. Indications are that President Taft's announced itinerary for his southern and western trip this fall will be extended materially. The president did not include in the tentative list which was published where he expects to stop long enough to make an address and hold a brief reception. Strong efforts will be made by representatives in congress and state officials to have the president stop for a few minutes at least at nearly all the apprehensions to be through which his salary will phase the light nights. Already the president has been bombarded with such requests. He has suggested to all of his callers and correspondents that they take the matter up with him later in the summer. It is more than likely that the president will have to follow the policy of his predecessors in chartering a special train. TWO MEN CHARGED WITH BIGAMY. Where Wives No. Two Reside. Columbus, Ga.—Two men were arrested in Girard, Ala., on a charge of bigamy, and in each instance, wife No. 1 is a resident of the Carolinas, J. H. Traynham was arrested on complaint of his wife in Cateechee, S. C. Traynham married Mls sida Pastee after coming here. P. F. Holter was arrested on complaint of his wife at Greensbore, N. C., who said that she was "pennless and at the mercy of the people." Holter admitted that he had had a wife in North Carolina, but said he had obtained a divorce from her. He was released after giving bond. B. WILLIAMS, President. L. B. WILLIAMS, President. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. The Guaranty Aid and SOL. C.

Ever since the sinuous track of the Old Serpent was discovered upon the sands of time, Truth has had a pretty discovered upon the sands of time, Truth has had a pretty large contract. In addition to its regular business of uprooting Error and demolishing Falsehood, it has had to do some lively sidestepping to keep from under innumerable weighty theories that wanted it as a foundation for, advertising purposes. It has also required some skillful dodging to escape a number of creeds that were foreordained to embrace it. GROCERIES, WOOD AND COAL 621 Oglethorpe Avenue, East 518 PHONES Bell 50 During the past two hundred years, while the politicians have been madly rushing around to nail Lies, the scientists have been as wildly—and successfully—endeavoring to skewer Truth and hang it up to dry. Like Liberty, Truth has had to stand for $ \alpha $ good deal of abuse on account of its friends—especially those long-haired, pale-faced, wild-eyed, adoring esoteric friends who are always praying to be allowed to kiss the hem of its skirt. LODGE SEALS, FINANCIAL CARDS and BLANKS of every description. This is doubly embarrassing, for Truth does not wear skirts. It is not at all certain that it wears anything, but if it does, it has entirely too much at stake to risk its reputation by materializing in the guise of that sex whose chief charm is 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 surely has been hard to reject all the varnish that has been offered it by the orators.

Publishers' and Manufacturers' Prices Liberal Discounts Will Be Arranged Consumption of Matches By Roy Crandall SOL. C. JOHNSON Notary Public. Deeds, Contracts, Wills and Other Legal Forms Prepared and Attested. ATCHES are such trifling objects, such infinitesimally small adjuncts to the daily housekeeping task, that it may astonish Madame to learn that so vast a number of the little "sulphuric splinters" are consumed each day that National Forester Gifford Pinchot, in working out the problem of saving the 700,000,000 acres of American forest lands from destruction, is pondering on the match industry as one of the factors of an almost unbelievable wood watse. M 119 West St Julian Street Everyone anathematizes the weather some of the time, and some persons protest against it all of the time. The fact is most of us slander it most of the time, philosophizes the Louisville Courier-Journal. Our houses and our steam heat, our habits of over-feeding, over-dressing—in the matter of the weight of garments—over-coddling and under-exercising, rather than the actual malice of muggy days, chill winds or soaking winter rains, create a carnival for the pneumonia germ. and provide victims for grip. It takes many a match to make a tree, and it may be difficult 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 bit 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 learning how many were burned each hour, each day, each week, each month and during the year, and then how many each man, 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 186,000,000 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 during the year. If the Federal Census Bureau is correct in the estimation of 85,000,000 people in the United States, an equable division would allow 128,075 matches to each during 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 The Game is the Red Species Which Loses the Hounds if Any Reynard Can. Running the hounds is not an-ob-to run-at-four months. There is one solete sport in Missouri, though but does, in every litter that won't run little known to the average sports.

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.

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. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 462 West Broad Street. Bell Phone 2171 SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga, as Second-Class mail matter. SATURDAY JULY 17. 1909 We acknowledge a receipt of a catalogue of the teachers and pupils of Knox Institute and Industrial School at Athens of which Prof. L. S. Clark is the very acceptable principal. The court of appeals has decided that recorder's courts have no right to sentence a prisoner to labor without jury trial. This has been thrashed out many times but the recorders continue to apply the sentence. BECAUSE your father and mother lived in a rented home is no reason why you should do so. Let our young people become inspired with the progressive trend of events. Let them save their money secure homes and go into business for themselves. MR HERBERT in his article in the daily papers of this state contended for tolerance in the employment of colored men not alone as firemen but in other lines. Certain Southern whites are even trying to drive the colored man out of the industries. How far will this go! VISITORS to our city commend us for the many and varied kinds of business enterprises that we have among us. The number of these enterprises should be doubled. Our men of money can cause this and too, give employment to more of our boys and girls. If the money that our people spend during the summer for excursions and outings could be invested in homes and business enterprises it would be far more beneficial. 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 BILL has been introduced in the Legislature requiring candidates for county school commissioner 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. THERE is no greater field for investment than the idle lands of this County. Within a radius of a few miles of the city many pieces of vacant land can be purchased at a reasonable sum, and at terms to suit even the laboring men. This is an excellent chance for our men, especially the younger ones to invest their money. By doing so now, within the next few years these lands will be doubly enchanced in value. Not only should our men make purchases of this kind, but those of us who own such lands should cultivate them in such a manner is to make them more profitable. There is no use allowing the lands to grow up in weeds when the same can be cleaned away and planted, if in nothing else but hay which finds a ready home market. THE deliberate degredation to which all colored men, irrespective of character or attainments are subjected in America is bound to react to the detriment of the white race, for, as Booker T. Washington has 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 a sense every man is his brother's keeper, for if he allows his brother to be diseased either morally or physically, he endangers his own well being. This is a truth to which many of us have been blind and not until it is generally realized will the nation achieve any great progress in uplifting its citizenship.—New York Evening Mail. National Business League. The ninth annual convention of the National Negro Business League which is to be held at Louisville, in "old Kentucky" Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19 and 20th, promises to be one 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 Negro business enterprise which this League has been exerting under the direction of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his official staff has been clearly seen and appreciated and, in part, explain the League's constantly increasing membership. The League welcomes 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 delegate a badge which entitles the delegate to a seat upon the floor of the convention as well as free admission and service at the annual banquet and at all of the other social functions provided by the Local Committee for the benefit of delegates.

First mass at 6:30 a.m, with a short instruction. Second mass and sermon at 9:30 a.m. Celebrant, Rev. Gustave Obrecht. Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament and Sunday school immediately after the last mass. F. B. B. Church. On Sunday night Rev. Wright read for the lesson St. John 17:1-16. The distinguished guest of the church was the Y M and Y L C C. These clubs are composed of the members of the F B B Church and have nearly two hundred financial members. They have a very large bank account and also own a hall on Russell bank. They are noted for doing deeds of klindness to the poor and needy. The history of the clubs was read by Mrs. R E Wright. Rev. Wright led the song "Sunlight in my soul today." He welcomed the clubs in his usual dignified manner. He referred to many things that were listed to with much interest. His text was from St. John 17:15, subject "I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world but that thou shouldest keep them from evil." This subject was exceedingly appropriate especially 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 will turnish food for thought to all who heard him for a long time. He said, in closing "No one should live so selfish that they cannot be used. We should live to help each other." The choir sang "Glory to the fathers," "Did Christ o'er sinner weep" was led by Rev. Wright. He asked all who felt the need of prayer to come to the mercy seat. Quite a number came and prayer was offered. The clubs donated very liberally to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. They even remembered Rev. Simms in donating. An especial purse was presented Rev Wright by the clubs. Mrs. R E Wright made the presentation speech. You are welcome at our church always. St. Paul Dots. Sunday last the six month rally culminated and was quite a success. The attendance was large especially at the night services and the money raised was as large in proportion. The church was blessed with a distinguished visitor in the person of Bishop L H Holsley, senior Bishop of the CME connection. At 9:30 o'clock, the Bishop addressed the Sunday school. At 11 o'clock the church was as usual comfortably crowded and intense interest was created when the speaker of that hour was announced in an able way by Rev. W T Moore, pastor. The speaker was Bishop Holsey. His morning lesson was read from the 46th Psalms; his second lesson St. John 14:16. The sermon was delivered in an eloquent manner as characteristic of the man he is. The least that can be said of the sermon is that it was full of inspiration and enlightenment and it had its effect on the hearers. It was one of those sermons, the echo of which neyer dies out of the hearts and minds of those so blessed to hear it. Rev. Heagan of St. John C M E Church, York street, was one among the many distinguished visitors that were in attendance. Too much cannot be said in praise of the choir who rendered sweet music under the leadership of Br. Green Moore, chorister. The Bishop denoted very largely to the rally. The Women Missionary Society assembled at 4:30 o'clock. A very nice program was rendered. Sister B F Payne in her usual fuselier way made a deep impression upon her hearers with her able remarks so full of encouragement. A heart touching sola was sang by.Bro. J H Johnson. A recitation by Miss Miller, subject "No section in heaven." It was well received. A solo was sung by Mrs. Thos. H Ham- ilton, Jr., who seemed to have pleased the audience, A duet was sung by Mr. Cross and Miss Mitchell. It was well rendered, A cornet splo was the next feature which was rendered by Mr. Frank Lendon. Bishop 'Holvey then had words of encouragement to say. His talk was for the most part confined to the social feature of the society. His talk was very instructive along this line. He also touched upon the laws of hygiene. His remarks are always full of humor and enlightenment. The night service was well attended, Rev W T Moore, preached. He made a deep impression upon the congregation by his usual fluent and explanatory way of preaching. The rally was extended until the fourth Sunday in this month. Monumental Notes. Monumental Notes. Sunday was trustees' day. The choir was at its best; sung well. Sunday school was well attended at 9:30 a.m. At 11 o'clock every one was ready for services, The pastor, Dr. Townley was in his pulpit and preached from the subject, "Watchfulness and duty." At 5 p.m the Allen Christian Endeavor League convened and the topic was well discussed. At 6:30 p.m. Rev. Geo. E Wilson of South America preached an excellent sermon, subject "An easy yoke."

An excellent program will be rendered. Minister's Union. The Evangelical - Ministers Union meet in St. Philip A M E Church with Dr. Lindsay in the chair. Devotional service was conducted by Rev.

Sermonic reports was given by Rev. J S Jenkins. Rev. L R Shellman asked a question about the "Sun rise" from a biblical standpoint: Rev. G E Wilson of South Americas, was introduced and gave a splendid address. Rev. H L Haywood was in to see us. We are always glad to have such divines.

At 11 a.m the choir and congregation sang hymn "My hope is built." Rev. G E Wilson of British Guiana and student of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga., preached. His text was from Epistle of Paul the Apostle, subject "The object of Christ's advent into the world." Rev. Wilson is a young man of marked ability and the way he delivered his discourse was surprising to the congregation as he is not a native of this country. Rev. Wilson is destined to make a great man among his people. The Carpenters Union 318, failed to put in appearance on Sunday night. They were to worship at 8 p.m. Our Sunday school picnic at Daufukie on Wednesday of last week was quite a success.

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.

She is well liked, a charming young lady and has a host of friends who wish them success through life. Passed Successfully. Among those who took the public school examination last month and passed successfully were Miss Annie E. Stiles, Miss Marie Stoney Miss Henrietta Johnson, Miss Bertha Williams and Mr. S. J. Elkins. The name of Miss Stiles was not published in the daily papers with the others, but it is a fact that she has passed with an excellent average. Announcement.

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!

For some time the naval ordnance 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 a purpose, largely for the reason that objection prevailed in some quarters to the expenditure of public funds in directions which did not always show tangible results. It was pointed out, however, that the beneficial effect of the tests would be no less real merely because new material was not being acquired. There was much in the way of theory which it was desired to supplant by actual knowledge obtainable only by tests. So many questions have arisen among the experts as to the relative efficiency of various elements of offence and defence 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 battleships will resist the projectiles of high power guns at battle ranges. Guns are now fired in tests at short range with velocities which are estimated to equal that which would exist if the distance were what is known as a battle range. It is asserted by many that the armor will not serve its purpose. Actual experiments in firing at such ranges against armor supported in the same manner as on a battleship have never been carried out, 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 violent explosion will blow in the armor side of a battleship. Then, too, it is desired to know what will be the material effect of such explosives on the personnel and whether the structure of the ship will stand it. Connected with such an experiment is the determination of the maximum depth to which a twelve-inch shell will penetrate the water at battle ranges and the effect of the explosions on the underwater body. Tests will also be conducted to determine the resist- Victoria, B. C.—A recent remarkable phenomenon in Alaska is the drifting away of icebergs from the front of Muir Glacier in Glacier Bay so that for the first time in nine years this famous river of ice, the most noted on this continent, has been visited. In 1889 a subterranean earthquake occurred at Yakutat and ever since the approach of this glacier has been so choked with ice that boats have turned away with their passengers disappointed. Now through some peculiar drifting of the ice steamboats can enter the channel and go near the right wing of the glacier, and after cautiously pushing their way get a glimpse of the left face. In the nine years that it has been inaccessible the glacier has undergone remarkable changes. When Professor John Muir, after whom it was named, visited it it had a solid face two miles long and rising about 250 feet above the water line. It was a live glacier, and great masses of ice Limedale, Ind.—For thirty-two years W. J. Steeag, a Democrat, postmaster at Limedale, has hoped in vain that some Republican would move into this town and get the job. The office didn't pay much anyhow, and on the Fourth of July Steeag decided to assert his independence and threw up his job. Steeag was appointed postmaster here by President Hayes. A Democrat will be his successor, because Limedale is still without a Republican voter. --- ance of exterior armor to the attack of twenty-one-inch torpedoes. It may develop that the armor now used will not exclude torpedoes, in which event the disclosure would be disconcerting, 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 exterior armor its necessary power to resist such a form of naval attack. It is also proposed to ascertain whether the turrets as now constructed 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 material damage to the structure itself, to the sights, the electric and other gun gear contained in the turrets. It is important in this connection to ascertain whether the sights now installed on the twelve-inch turret would be permanently disabled by six-inch gun fire, which demonstration would show whether it is necessary to design a turret that can be disabled only by heavy gun fire. One of the important experiments will be with movable water planes installed on the sides of a battleship, operated automatically, so as to diminish the roll, of a vessel, and so improve the accuracy of gun fire in time of battle. The record target practice of the Atlantic fleet this summer will be with the vessels rolling, so as to ascertain if the target could be hit under the most adverse conditions at sea in time of war. It is also desirable to ascertain if under such unfavorable conditions it would be possible to offset the influence of the sea and contribute to the stability of the ship as a gun platform. It is appreciated that anything which improves marksmanship on board ship is a direct and vital contribution to the fighting power of the navy. These are only a few of the subjects which will be taken up by the naval ordnance officers during this fiscal year. No previous announcement will be made of the experiments, most of which are likely to be conducted at the naval proving ground at Indian Head, Maryland. The tests will be made solely with the view of obtaining information for the Navy Department and no announcement of the results will be made. toppled into the sea from time to time with reverberations like thunder. Water splashed fifty feet high at each fall and the sight was fascinating. To-day the glacier assumes a different aspect. Erosion has worked out a new bay, which willisoon be charted, and the glacier itself seems to have two parts, the live part, from which icebergs break and fall with tremendous noise, and a dead arm, with land forming between it and the sea. This change is due to a hill which projected through the top of the ice when Professor Muir was there. Now that hilltop is a large mountain dividing the ice fields. The ice has also receded four miles in the nine years. The captain of the first steamboat piloted in front of this glacier in recent years was presented with a silver service marked in large letters "Muir Glacier." This is without doubt the most remarkable known glacier on this continent. It has 354 square miles of ice. Coffee Planters of Hawaii Had Hard Luck With Shipment of Workers. Washington, D. C.—The immigration bureau will send an inspector to Portugal to obtain workers for the coffee planters in Hawaii. These planters have found it difficult to obtain hands and enlisted the assistance of the immigration authorities. Some time ago the bureau secured about two car loads of men in New York for the Hawaiian planters.

POTO OR POSTPAID BY MAIL LARGE SAMPLE FREE! THE PAXTON TOILET CO., BOG Yields to the Demand of a Vast Number of Prominent Odd Fellows and Announces for District Grand Treasurer. Savannah, Ga., July 12, 1909. To the Odd Fellows of Georgia: Dear Brethren:—In obedience to the demand of prominent and loyal Odd Fellows from every section of our beloved state, I have accepted their endorsement and allowed them to put me In the race for the position of District Grand Treasurer, subject to the confirmation of the District Grand Lodge, which convenes at Albany, Ga., Tuesday, August 10th, 1909. In accepting the endorsement and appeal of my brethren I am responding, not only to my own personal ambition and aspirations, but to the request of loyal and hearty Odd Fellows all over our beloved state. I desire to set forth a few of the reasons that prompted me to consider their request: First. As an Odd Fellow who loves the principle of Friendship, Love and Truth, I profoundly regret to see the deplorable condition that now confronts us. Your present officers have proven to be your bosses, instead of your servants. Secondly. The recent deal made by your present officers in purchasing a place of property in Atlanta for twenty-two thousand dollars ($22,000) out of the Widows' and Orphans' money is a living indication of bossism. If you 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 attendance. These brethren are loud in praise of the proceedings, and are taking pardonable pride in expressing the same. There is no need whatever for any differences 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 half of the assessment for the Home becomes due in September. Officers of lodges must not wait until September to commence collecting it from the brethren. Begin now and when the time comes there will be no delay in forwarding to Brother Spencer. This is one thing, especially, 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 enough to refuse to give 50 cents a year towards its 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, Masonry and morality should go hand in hand. The chronic klcker has taken a back seat. This is as it should be. The brother who rarely attends his lodge; never reads a Masonic paper; annually comes to be steered into voting 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 right to make purchases, try appeal cases or anything else during the year the Grand Lodge meets. I will show you a heaven without stars. In conclusion, if I am favored with your election I assure you that I will never honor a warrant from Master or Secretary or anyone else unless it comes within the purview of the law. I have served you for more than two years in the position of Grand Director. I performed the duties of that office to the best of my ability and judgment. Whilst a member of the Executive Committee I fought and opposed every injurious measure, whether I have been able to defend them or not. I reported the condition of affairs to you as it existed in a minority report at Macon, Ga., two years ago. Never before in the history of the Grand Lodge where one of its officers had the moral courage to differ from the majority and submit a minority report 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 I will never "spoil the water, nor muddy the stream that flows from the altar of Friendship, Love and Truth. My motto will be: "Peace, good will to all." Faternally, 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 self-sacrificing brother who year after year has ungrudgingly given his time and energy for the benefit of the lodge 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 appreciated. The secretary as a rule is the brother upon whom the newly-installed Worshipful Master relies for advice and guidance, and the young member looks to him for information and knowledge—London Freemason. JACHIN. All Masons have heard the explanation of the pillar of Solomon's Temple named Jachin, but many of them do not know that Jachin was a real character, nor that a family of Jachinites existed when Moses numbered the people of Israel. Jachin was a son of Simeon, who was a son of Jacob and Leah. He is named in Excudus 11:15, and in Numbers 34:12. In I Chronicles 9:24, he is called Jarib. Jachin means "God confirms"—he that stengthens and makes steadfast," and Jarib means "adversary—fighting, chiding, multiplying, avenging." Boaz is tripartite; Joachim is dual—Body and Soul—John W. Brown. 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 aesthetic enjoyment for the artist, a field of humane endeavor for the lover of humanity, a field of social enjoyment for social belings—In short, the world of Masonry, and even of humanity, for whoever seeks to benefit his fellows and cultivate his own higher nature, and shall have been unanimously approved by Free and Accepted Masons.—The Keystone. The design of the Masonic institution is to form character, according to a model/embracing all 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 is but the beginning—the mere laying of the corner stone. But as the foundation is not the structure, though bearing an essential relation to it, so the entrance upon a Masonic life is important as a beginning, but it is not the pursuit—not the goal. The regulation of the life and 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 his profession whose constant aim is not to form an erect and solid character. As the plumb, the level and the square are essential to the most experienced and skillful architect in the construction of an office, so is an observance of rules essential to the erection of Masonic character. Many are only attracted by the outer adornments of the Temple. They The ladies of the Eastern Star are preparing for their session at Quitman on August 17. It will be a large gathering and a profitable session. Each chapter is expected to be fully represented. Reports are to be in the hands of the Grand Secretary by August 5th, else the Chapter failing will be fined $2.50. Each Chapter is to send a liberal donation for the Home Our friend, Rev. C. M. Moon of Cordle writes us as follows: "Please allow me space to say a few words from an 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. I am inspired more than ever. I have always loved Masonry. The true spirit and works put forth by our beloved Grand Master and his assistants will surely cause the weak brethren to draw near and take hold of the work. It is only hoped that the brethren will continue to work in harmony with the present officers and there will be no cause of complaint in this jurisdiction, and the craft will be elevated too high for confusion. May the Great Architect guide the Grand Lodge officers during the year. Mrs. Ella E. Moon spent a few days in Brunswick and St. Simon's Island, and reports a grand time on the salt water." admire its form and symmetry and gaze with apparent rapture on its pillars and columns and minarcts, but the inner apartments attract them not. The objects of thought and research with which the Temple abounds would require too much effort and tax them far beyond their sluggish souls' ingestion. "Going from the lodge room to the bar room, from the bar room to the card table, cannot be considered as the "outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace." Such men make the profession and bear the name, but they are not Masons.—Cornerstone. THE NATIONAL GAME. Can't stop that fellow Red Murray when it comes to a pinch. The Senators won't be seen in New York City again this season. Outfielder O'Hara, of the Giants, is a graceful worker and a pretty judge of a fly ball. Jimmie Canavan is now covering the Southern League, scouting for the Detroit Club. Champion pinch hitter, Dode Criss, of the St. Louis Browns, has come to terms with that club. Boston is reported as having secured shortstop John Coffey, of the Fordham College team. The Albany Club, of the New York League, has released pitcher Andrew Reise and infielder Jimmy Wilson. The great Hans Wagner is tutoring the rising John B. Miller, and predicts great things for the youngster. The Macon (South Atlantic League) Club has signed infielder Shaw, of last year's Savannah team. Second baseman Dick Egan has caught Cincinnati's fancy. They consider him a grand young player in Redtown. There are few pitchers in either of the big leagues that have any bigger curves than Hughes, and when he's right he's good. Manager Bowerman, of the Bostons, says that he is going to strengthen the Bean Eaters by trading himself to the Giants for two young players. McGraw says there is nothing in the report that he intends to get Bowerman. "Of course I am always on the lookout for a good man," said the Giant manager. "Clicc" Jordan, the liveliest rooter for the Giants that lives in the Far West, was in New York City from Texas just to see what the boys were doing. He was escorted by H. Sparrow and Colonel Jack Lary. DIES FROM PELLEGRA Woman Succumbs to Disease at Demopolis, Ala. Demopolis, Ala.—Mrs. Alexander Torbert, a prominent woman of Old Spring Hill, died here of pellagra, after surgeons brought here from Mobile and elsewhere had exhausted all of their skill in an effort to save her life. The blood of a woman who had recovered from pellagra was transfused into the body of Mrs. Torbert, but without success. Vice Consul General William Dawson, Jr., reports that a dental college has recently been added to the University of Madrid, whose graduates will have the right to practice in Spain without further examination. There are 87 practicing dentists in Barcelona, several of whom were educated in the United States, and the methods are up to date. HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. Cake Filling. For nut cake filling, scald a cupful of milk with the yolks of two eggs and half a cupful of sugar. Just before it bolls add a tablespoonful of corn starch rubbed smooth in a little cold milk. Let the mixture cool and stir in a cupful of nut meats—English walnuts, Pecans, hickory or almonds—broken into small pieces. Use the mixture as a filling. Ice the top and cover with whole nut meats.—New York Sun. Spaghetti a la Milanese. Spaghetti a la Milanise is made in a chafing dish as follows, says the chief steward, of the Hotel St. Regis: A good tomato sauce, a little meat glaze, or rich gravy, are heated together, then add a piece of butter. When thoroughly hot put in the boiled spaghetti, season to taste, add to the spaghetti boiled tongue, ham and truffles cut into fine strips. Finish with grated Swiss cheese before serving.—New York Telegram. Fish Croquettes. Rub together three tablespoons of flour, one of butter, and stir into one-half pint of rich milk. Add a teaspoonful of finely chopped parsley and a quarter teaspoonful grated onion. Boil until it thickens, then stir in two cupfuls of cold cooked fish and let the mixture boil up again. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. When cold roll into croquettes, dip in beaten egg and bread crumbs and fry in hot fat. Serve with peas, hot cress or fresh string beans garnished with slices of hard-boiled eggs.—New York World. Meat Soup or Stock. Best kind of beef, shin; proportion, lean meat, two-thirds, bone and fat, one-third. Wipe the meat with damp cloth, cut the lean meat in one-inch pieces to draw out the Juice. Heat the frying-pan and brown one-third of the lean meat. Place the fat, bone and remaining lean meat in a kettle, cover with cold water, one pint to each pound of meat, bone and fat, and let stand one hour. Add vegetables, salt and flavoring during the last hour of cooking. Cool and skim. Bits of cold meat, left-over vegetables or cereals may be added to the soup—New York American. ```markdown ``` Jellied Chicken. For jellied chicken, have on hand three pounds of chicken that has been boiled and cut from the bone in strips. Mix a quart of rich chicken stock that has been boiled down and cleared with a teaspoonful each of lemon juice, chopped parsley, a dash of celery salt and a quarter teaspoonful each of salt and paprika. At the last stir in a teaspoonful of granulated gelatine that has been dissolved. When the jelly begins to thicken add the chicken and turn it into a mould. To have the chicken scattered evenly through the jelly, stand the dish containing the jelly in a pan of ice and turn in the jelly layer by layer covering each with chicken as soon as it begins to thicken.—New York Sun. Kerosene in starch makes the clothes iron better. Paint that sticks to glass can be removed with hot vinegar. Salt in rinse water will keep clothes from freezing on cold days. Sugar or molasses added to stove blacking makes it stick better. Keep kitchen floor painted. It is cheaper than linoleum and saves time and labor. Use baking powder cans to chop potatoes in spider, also to cut out cookies and biscuits. Dried lemon peel sprinkled over coals will destroy any disagreeable odor about the house. Squeeze a few drops of lemon in the water in which potatoes are boiled just before they are done, and they will not turn black. Celery cleaned and soaked for an hour or two in cold water, with which two or three tablespoonfuls of lemon juice have been mixed, will improve the celery which is to be served as a vegetable or in a salad. Pour the liquid into a narrow-necked quart milk bottle. The grease will instantly raise into the neck of the battle, and it can easily be poured off. This should be done while the soup is hot, and a spoon should be placed in the bottle to prevent cracking. When washing sheets and tablecloths gather up the selvage edges in the hand and put through winger. Hang upon line by the selvage edge. In this way you will have no trouble with the edge turning in while ironing. Are easily folded and prevents the fraying of the edge during a high wind. Good steel knives are better when sharpened at intervals by a professional. Often arrangements can be made with the butcher to take all knives in the house and include them with his knives for sharpening. This is especially convenient in the country, where stores are hard to reach and where the butcher's cart is a frequent visitor.
