Mr. Brown was one of the most effici- ent clerksin the post office and the only member of the race holding = clerkship in the local post office. Mr. ltrown requested the change because he felt that his health would be benefited by the open air work. . [Sore Over Actions Civic League President - cases BY FORMER MEMBERS OF LEAGUB ee : Ask Public to Support eon of Urban League—Say That President Used Personal Cardson Packages Distribu-| ted by the League. 1 to the Public:—Last year : Christmas fund for the colorec poor was raised under the auspice: of the Negro Civic Improvement League. That league did much good, .and would no doubt be iu existence today were it not for the harsh and just criticism which arose on account of the conduct on the part of the president for the following three things: (1) ‘here was rendered what was purported to be a full financial statement of receipts and disbursements, “but this did not include the names and contributions of several persons, nor was this report submitted to theleague. (2) During the en- tire year there has been no meet- ing of the league. (3) Instead of sending out the Christmas gifts with cards containing the name of the Negro Civic Improvement League, the president sent out the Christmas gifts with his personal cards, making mention of the Ne- gro Civic Improvement League on the back of but a few. For the above mentioned rea- sons, we, the undersigned, former members of the Negro Civic Im- provement League, felt that we cond no longer be connected with apy committee where such laxity prevailed and where personal glo- ry was the rule and public good the exception. Therefore we take this oppor- tunity to inform the public that we sre allied with the Urban ‘League and ask our friends to con- tribute to+he Christmas fund be- ing raised by the Urban League, believing that all matters will be handled above board.

Savannah Exhibits. dhe Savannah exhibit this year at the Colored State Fair was among the best to be found in the great art building. The exhibits were gotten up by Mrs. O, E, Curley, who is deserving of great credit for the excel- Jence of the collection as well as for the large number of indi- vidual exhibitors. Among the exhibtors were Mies Sarah 0. Duncan, who won, over the ‘en- tire state, highest premium for fancy work and Mrs, I, D, Wil- liams, who received the highest premiums for lace and drawn work. The Gareys Variety Bakery sent up the largest loaf of bread that has ever been ‘baked in the State of Georgia. Mr, Garey received many hand- some compliments by the people of the’ state, both white and colored, “for the — enterprise shown in getting up his exhibit, Prominent also among the ex- hibits from Savannah was the exhibit from Mrs,-Curley’s class in fancy work, consisting of the following little girls’ with the work which they sentup: Jus- tine Aiken, towel bag; Marion Bryant, scarf; Josephine Blake, bag; Irma S. Curley, pillow top; Amanda Ourley, handbag, pil. low top; Agatha Curley, center. piece; Rebecca Curley, lunch bag; Ruthie Giles, doily ; Louise Miller, work bag: Iona’ Green, pillow top; Doris Hernandez, centerpiece, shirtwaist front; Johnnie Slocum, bureau scarf; Eliza Redd, work bag; Velma Horne, towel, This exhibit at- tracted -unusual attention and when it was told that the little girls had been receiving instruc- tions for not more than two months the visiters were loud in their praises: On the whole the Savannah exhibit was very good indeed and’- Mrs, Curley hopes to make if even bette: next year.

Card of Tnanks We thank our friends for their kindness to usin the hour of be- reavement and also for floral de- signs and flowers. chr ._ §Miss Mamie Miss Claudia Zachery Local Happenings It is reported that the zone for the sale of near beer will be restricted next year. Fire damaged the office of the Savannah Press early Sunday morning. The rain Tuesday evening was welcome, being the first in several weeks. Several funds are being collected to make the poor happy on Christmas. Four courts were in session on Monday. Allie P. Williams, white, formerly a rural carrier at Haleyondale, plead guilty in the United States Court of robbery. He was fined $50 and given sixty days in jail. Deputy Sherrif of Millen, Ga., was arrested here charged with flourishing a pistol. Five hundred and fifty thousand dollars are now available for the drainage work. The United States Deputy Marshal seized ninety cases of tomatoes alleged to be unfit for use. Two torpedo boat destroyers have been ordered here for Boosters' Day. Among the Masons A Mason's first duty is to his family, for, above all things, he should be a loyal and loving son, a devoted and faithful husband, and a wise and generous father. The home is the place where the Mason is really needed. This is the place where he proves himself to be a worthy Mason and where he gains admiration and respect, not only of brethren, but also of all people. This is the place where he has an opportunity to do much towards building up and assisting in maintaining the enviable reputation so long enjoyed by our Noble Order—Missouri Freemason. Among the first lessons taught a candidate upon his introduction into a lodge, is the existence of a Supreme and personal God. He is impressed in a way never to be forgotten, that He is our light in darkness, our strength, our guide and comfort. It also enjoins upon us a belief in the inspiraion and authority of the Bible. It is the first object that greets the eye of the initiate and the last on which that of the Master and brethren rests.—Kittredge Haskins, Vermont. There are ten things for which no one has ever yet been sorry. These are: For doing good to all; for speaking evil of no one; for hearing before judging; for thinking before speaking; for holding an angry tongue; for being kind to the distressed; for asking pardon for all wrongs; for being patient toward everybody; stopping the ear of a tale bearer; for disbelieving the most of all ill reports. A Texan writing from Germany says that a Masonic pin in that country was as good as an introduction, and that the most agreeable acquaintance he made was through the means of a Masonic pin. Yet there are so-called Masons who say that Masonry is of no practical value.—Masonic News. The legislature of Oregon has made it a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $50 to $500, to paint or circulate, plain or in cipher, the ritual of any society or order, without the expressed authority of such society or organization. Nebraska has a similar law. A Mason's Lodge is a Mason's church," said the late, Duke of Sussex, and all are free to enter therein who are known to be brethren, or upon whose reputation no serious stain or dishonor exists. Grand Master H. R. Butler. of Atlanta, and Grand Treasurer A. L. Felton of Montezuma, were in the city last week, looking after the interest of the Masonic home school. This very creditable school building has been undor repair for the past thirty or forty days, and is about completed. Doctor Butler and Mr. Felton are very inuch pleased at the work under, the management of Contractor L. B. Hills, and, too, the present condition of the school under the supervision of Miss B. E. Battle.—Americus Chronicle. Freemasonry stands today as the highest and best fraternal society. The sunshine of progress has for generations beamed upon it, the great and learned men of the past ages have been associated with it, and have helped to carry out its cardinal principles of teaching humanity on broad lines, engendering in the minds of its members principles of justice, virtue, truth and integrity. These principles, interwoven with friendship, have created a society or brotherhood to which men are seeking admission, and too often finding it, who have no greater desire to be known as Freemasons than the standing it will give them among men, and beyond what they receive in this way have no special interest in Freemasonry. —Herald. Your opportunities for doing good are abundant. Your influence for good is what you make it. If a kindly deed is to be done; do it; if a friendly word is to be spoken, speak it; if a smile is to be given, give it.

First of all he learns that he must earn it step by step, till he reaches the middle chamber of truth. There he learns that his work is naught if it has not been earned in consecration and trust in God. He learns that the means by which he enters the chamber of truth has been in accordance with the divine plan: "knock and it shall be opened unto you; ask, and ye shall receive". In this chamber of truth he learns that he must be just in his dealing with his fellows—he must give to every one under him that which is his of right. Here he learns that his wages have not been honestly earned if he has not used his best efforts to aid a worthy brother in need. Here he learned that to aid a worthy brother is not merely giving of money for immediate use; but that he has sought the opportunity to reprove in love and kindness, and to say an encouraging word at the right time—words are often more beneficial than money or other material relief. In this middle chamber of truth the Fellow-craft learns that he must not allow the law of selfishness to prevent him from relieving a brother, because to do that he might claim that it would be an injury to himself or to his family. But the great personal benefit, which he here learns is that he is a part of a great company of brothers; that whether he is at home or in foreign lands, a brothis at hand, and that there is always on open door for him to enter and earn the wages of a Fellow-craft; that he cannot "lose his job" in any part of the civilized world.—Selected.

House all the fowls at once. Many colds will result from exposure at this season. Working in a clean, dry litter now will hasten the laying of your early pullefs. Don't forget that you must clean house if you are to have success with the hens this winter. The best time to resand floors is August or September, but it is not too late now if you can obtain dry sand. Much benefit is likely to result without any possible harm if the hens are compelled to work in clean litter for their grain at all seasons. Fresh sand or gravel is absolutely necessary to the comfort of the hens this winter. Cover wooden or cement floors at least three inches deep and earth floors from six to twelve inches. Collect a barrel or two of fine road dust. A bushel of this in a large box or frame in a sunny location in the henhouse will be greatly enjoyed by the fowls and will help keep down the number of body lice. A GOOD WORD FOR THE CROW. This Abused Bird Has Some Good Qualities to Offset Its Bad Traits. The case of the crow, condemned a decade or more ago as a destructive bird in agricultural fields, has been reopened by the department of agriculture and a more favorable verdict reached. The investigation made by experts of the biological survey of the department shows the crow to be of great value to farmers. After a careful study of the habits and the examination of a large number of stomachs the department experts have reached the conclusion that the crow consumes enough grasshoppers, cutworms, white grubs and other injurious insects to make him highly valuable to farmers. There is, however, one bad habit which the crow has, and that is the destruction of young birds and birds' eggs, but this trait is outweighed by the good the bird is doing for the farmer in the destruction of worms and insects. The one danger from the crow, according to department experts, lies in large numbers. If the number can be kept down so that its normal food is sufficient there is every reason why farmers should encourage the bird to remain about their farms. Not long ago an agent of the department was watching a crow feeding in a cornfield. It seemed that the bird was pulling up young corn and carrying it to a nearby nest to feed its young. After the crow had left the nest the agent climbed the tree and secured the young birds. An examination showed that instead of young corn or the kernel of the corn the older bird had been feeding the young ones with cutworms gathered from around the corn plants. A HANDY DINNER WAGON. The Vehicle Is Easily Made and Saves Considerable Trouble. The Utah Agricultural college experiment station has issued a useful circular on "Labor Saving Devices For the Farm Home." Among the suggestions offered is the use of the handy "dinner wagon," figured in the accompanying illustration. The circular says: "In homes where it is necessary to have a separate kitchen and dining room it should be considered necessary THE DINNER WAGON. to have a so called 'dinner wagon,' an illustration of which is given. This dinner wagon can be made by any one who knows how to handle tools at all and, as you see, is in reality a two or three story table on wheels. This should stand near the kitchen stove, and on it should be placed everything required for the meal. It can be wheeled into the dining room or to the table and then set aside until required to move everything from the dining table back to the kitchen. Think of the countless steps saved by the use of such a simple little appliance as this." Give and Take. He who takes from the land and doesn't give to the land deals dishonestly with it.

Cover spinach with a light litter or mulch of straw, heavy enough, to retain the snow and prevent freezing. Store pumpkins and squashes in a room where the temperature never falls below 50 degrees. The storing place must be dry. As soon as the ground freezes mulch the strawberries thoroughly with some light material, such as straw, hay, strawy manure, etc.—Rural Farmer. MEN TAKE NOTICE!

They are fnevitable, but there 1s much that a woman can do to ward off these signs.

The flat muscles of the | cheeks relax, and this soon leads to deep ridges and furrows about the jaw | and the chin.

I a | Keeping Nails Attrattive. y In nowise is neglect of the person so readily apparent as in badly kept nails. Neither can the manicure alone be held responsible for thelr care. On the contrary, if a woman desires she ean dispense with the manicurist’s services, save perhaps once or twice a month, and still have nice nails. Nails grow rapidiy and respond readily to ‘treatment. If they are ill shaped give them | almond shaped tips that are most at- tractive by shaping them carefully with the little sandboards. Use fine | pumice powder to subdue the rough- ness or to\ reduce the little ridges that aouetleseny appear, and employ the scissors as-sparingly as possible. Use them not at all upon the nails them- selves, but merely for clipping the raz- ged edges of the cuticle around the base of the nail. Push back the seurf skin to show the coveted “half moons” with the aid of the orange wood stick. To make white spots on the nails dis- appear, spread over them at night a paste made of turpentine and myrrh, mixed in equal parts, and remove the following morning with a little olive | oil. A bruised nail should be plunged into hot water and held there for fif- teen or twenty minutes. | Many of the vaunted powders and Touges cause the nails to become brit- tle so that they are constantly break- ng, so as far ag it is possible it is, wise to avoid these. Plain petroleum jelly or olive oll will answer every purpose of the pomade, and. as for rouge, it is not in, good taste to tint the nafls very deeply, and if they are healthy and their possessor is in sood physical condition, they will be pink enough without the aid 6f the cosmetic. Z There fs no harm, however, in apply- ing a little carmine. Mix ft with fresh lard, and, ff desired, perfume it with a drop or two of ofl of violets. Health and Beauty. “For-red eyelids there is nothing so beneficial as strong salt water,” says a beauty doctor. Mix this about one teaspoonful to a glass and bathe the eyelids with it. It acts as a tonic to the lids and is particularly beneficial to eyelids that are troubled with styes or granulation. One very prolific cause for women’s wrinkles is the ralsing of brows. frowning. screwing up of eyes and mouth when talking. This habit ages far more quickly than years. When women practice facial repose there will be fewer wrinkles. The eyes and mouth are the only features intended to show expression. a A famous lotion of colonial days. knewn as “morning dew,” consisted of one ounce of rose water, brif an ounce of glycerin, half a teaspoonful of borax and three drops of benzoin. The quati- ties may be multiplied if a greater amount is needed. The lotion is ap- piled to the chapped face, made rough from wind or exposure, with a bit of old Hnen. Points For Mothers “Vm Frightened.” euany CHUGIEM ate a2 kine eee NS nature, but if the timidity is at all strong or frequent it amounts to aa illness and must be treated as such. A healthy child is seldom seriously frightened. It may be startled for a moment, but that Is quite a different thing from the chronic terror which spolls some poor litfle lives. If your child is always nervous—ready to shiv- er and cry at a strange sound or to shrink from an unknown person or to tremble at 2 dark room or run from 4 strange dog, these signs indicate that ‘he fs not well. | It ds a curfous fact that boys under the age of ten are often more nervous | than their sfsters, though girls be tween the ages of ten and twenty are tax more neryous than boys. And it fs not an uncommon thing for a young boy to run for protection to a sister practically the same age as himself. A really nervous child should never be forced to do long or hard lessons. Its study holirs should be shortened a3 much as possible, and it should spend tho greater part of the day out of | doors. Neither lessons nor play should be too energetic—he should just be al- wel to go his own way and amuse himself as he thinks best. Sleep is of the first importance. A nervous child cannot sleep tqo much. He should always be in bed before 8 o'clock at night and should be allowed to le till he rouses himself in the morning. It is a very bad thing for him to be awakened violently, for this gives the nerves a shock from which they suffer during alk the morning hours, A cold bath in the morning is an ex- cellent thing, provided that the child is strong enough to stand it, Tut if | be dislikes it very much he should not be forced into it, as this would lead to another shock which would do away with all the good gained from the bath, An ordinary wash followed by a brisk rub down with a rough towel makes quite, a good substitute for a cold bath. The food should be generous and simple. Very nervous children need a large number of light meals during the day, as they: are not able to digest a great quantity of fodd at one time. It is a food plan to give a glass of milk and a buttered biscuit in the middle of the morning and another glass of milk, with a sponge cake or a piece of choc- olate, the last thing at night. If tho child sleeps badly and is restless you | may put a couple of biscuits on the ta- ble beside his bed, so that he may eat them if he wakes during the night, A comforting little meal of this kind will often send bim off to sleep again, when, without It he would lie awaké for hours shivering in the dreadful dark- ness. | Above all, treat the nervous child ‘most tenderly. Never let the others. laugh at him or call him a coward, but make them understand that bis‘ timid!- ty arises from illness and that he must be pitied and treated as gently a9 any other invalid. ye Bs Not Pull Hair Back Tightly. Se ee er NLR ee Rae ea aR ea es Many mothers make a great mistake in pulling their small daughters’ hair tightly back from the face. There are few faces, even childish ones, that can stand this treatment. And many llttle girls could grow up unconscious of fea- tures that perhaps do not come up to the average standard of beauty if their hair were arranged gracefully and softly. Nothing makes life harder for a small girl than for her to feel that her looks are noticeably unlovely—as many | small girls with two tight pigtails standing at right angles from their necks and sleek hair pulled and plas- tered back straight from their promi- nent brows do feel. Through the age when bobbed hair is worn no hair ornaments save a sin- gle ribbon should be allowed the little girl, With the coming of the next stage comes the possibility of more elaborate accessories. The one ribbon can still be the rule. With it her hair still may be tied at one side and the locks that formerly were bobbed can be allowed to grow into curls or, ring- lets. - She may wear a ribbon or silk band to bind her hair neatly to her head. She ean wear a wide ribbon about her head, and this can end In a rosette or a big bow at one side. The little girl whose hair is straight has her own difficulties in this world. Straight hair looks untidy when It is allowed to hang about the shoulders. French mothers teach their daughters to weave strands of their hair between their fingers whenever they have time to doit. This crinkling process brings - out latent waving possibilities even in the most straight looking hair. = French mothers, too, do not like te | see the hair on the top of the head Jook flat and plastered down, as it of- ten does after play or when the hat is removed. So they use a little orris root or talcum powder on the top hair to keep It duffy. The pores at the root of the hair must never be clogged with any sort of powder, but it can be used safely on the hair itself to keep it dry and light. It should be brushed on quite lightly. * Published by SOL. C. JOHNSON Editor and Proprietor JAS. H. BUTLER Asso.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. Saturday, December 6th, 1913. Our contemporary, the Atlanta Independent, organ of the State Odd Fellows, seemingly wants everybody to bow to the crack of its whip, to be an echo or dance only when its music sounds. Those acting otherwise are ingrates, disloyal to the order and tricksters. Our contemporary since its inception attempted to besmirch many persons of note in this state disagreeing with its policy. It is a personal organ of the most radical type and its endeavors have been ever to subsidize others. Immediately after the last meeting of the Odd Fellows Executive Board of this State, The Tribune gave a news note of some of the proceedings of that meeting. This publicity of facts was disliked and we were held up to scorn and ridicule. Two weeks ago we published a clipping from the Odd Fellows Journal, the national organ of the order, giving in full orders transmitted concerning affairs in this State. Because of this we were nominated as a trickster. If publishing legitimate information constitute trickery, we are guilty and will ever be so. That our people are becoming more and more keenly alive to every interest that affects them as a people and that has to do with their growth and development; is attested by the ready response with which they are meeting the appeal of the promoters of the local Urban League among Negroes for a Christmas fund for our poor people. At no time in the history of Savannah, have our people shown a more prompt and responsive chord to an appeal for humanity, than they are showing on this occasion. This is as it should be. Those of us who are blessed with a fair proportion of this world's goods, owe it as a duty to ourselves to use a part of our means to help to make happy and comfortable, those of us who from misfortune or otherwise have suffered to the extent that they are needy but deserving. In so doing, we bring not only joy to the recipients of our generosity but to ourselves as well. Indeed, what is more agreeable to one during the Yuletide season which has been styled rightly the season of gifts, than a consciousness which assures him that he has contributed to the happiness of others at that time? In organizing and systematizing a campaign for a Christmas Fund for the poor, the members of the Urban League are engaging themselves in a noble and far reaching work. They are performing their chosen task in a way that does not savor in the least of selfish interest or self aggrandizement. What they are doing, is being done thoroughly and well. It is believed that the effort of the Urban League to seek aid for the colored poor will be eminently successful. The people have confidence in the men behind the movement; they have faith in their honesty and unselfishness and will no doubt show this faith by many substantial contributions before the subscription list closes.

The forty hours devotion is thus called because during eight and forty hours the blessed sacrament is exposed in our Catholic churches on the altar that the faithful may come and pray before and adore it. No pains are neglected to make this sacred rite as solemn as possible. In no other times the sublimity of our religion is so touchingly felt. The adoration should last night and day, but in this country the blessed sacrament is removed in the evening. The object of this devotion is to offer a solemn act of reparation to our Divine Lord for the neglect and abandonment to which he was exposed from the moment of his death on the cross till the hour of his glorious resurrection. This devotion began at Milan, Italy, about the year 1534 and then spreaded over the other cities. Pope Clement VIII established it "in perpetuum." During those three days of prayers and solemn devotions, let us show our great love and sincere gratitude to God our Creator and Redeemer, especially by leading a pure and sinless life, and by attending very regularly and devotedly, the morning and evening services. Several priests from the Cathedral and Sacred Heart church will take part in the performance of these holy ceremonies and preach eloquent sermons, principally on the object of the devotions and prayers of the forty hours. St. Benedict's choir will render as usual some of its best musical selections. Members and friends of St. Benedict's church are cordially invited and welcome at all the services.

Agent, Savannah, Ga. for devotion and duty to home stands forth as an example worthy of emulation. How well she played her part, in this life can best be attested by those who knew her and the trying circumstances under which she labored. In that of her first as also her second marriage when death severed the marital bonds she was put to the utmost test. Nevertheless she did not falter or give up in despair but took courage and in her own sphere she was diligent in business looking well to the ways of her own house. She had been a consistent member of the Second Baptist Church for more than forty years. Her religion was the strongest force in her character, and entered into her daily life warm hearted and affectionate almost to a fault. She was devoted, in all her attachments and was loved most by those that knew her best. Every worthy life it matters not how humble or great that goes out on the boundless ocean of eternity leaves some work done, some act performed, some word said which constitutes a shrine around which faithful and devoted friends weave a wreath of affection. While the loved ones miss her and feel keenly her absence, yet they have the consolation that she is at rest, and I commend them to Him who was her refuge and strength and who is able to comfort and sustain them in the hour of sadness. May the recollection of her goodness and tenderness always be a light to lead and guide them to a higher and better life in this world and remind them there is a better life beyond the grave.

North Mungin Nuttlals North-Mungin Nuptials An interesting wedding of Wednesday night November 19th was that of Miss Daisy North and Mr. Franklin Mongin. Rev. Daniel Wright, pastor of the First Bryan Baptist church, officiated. The parlor was beautifully decorated with evergreen and roses. An arch decorated with white roses, evergreen and a dove was in the center of the room. The bride and groom stood under this arch while the pastor officiated. Miss Maria Brown was the bride's maid, Mr. Moses Spaulding was the groomman and little Misses Daisy Bell Givens and Rosa Mitchell were the flower girls. The bride wore a beautiful dress of white satin with net embroidery over it, the net was draped in front. On her head was a beautiful wreath and in her hand she carried a beautiful bunch of japonicas and roses. The bride's maid wore a handsome satin dress trimmed with lace, in her hand she carried a bunch of japonicas and roses. Both of the flower girls were dressed in white. The reception took place on last Wednesday night at the bride and groom's residence, 111 Ann street. The wedding and reception were both largely attended.

December 12, 1913 Scene from Rogers and Creamer's Musical Comedy Company Savannah Theatre December 12-13. Rogers and Creamer's Colored Musical Comedy Rogers and Creamer's Negro Players of America will appear at the Savannah Theatre next Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee. Thus does pleasure dawn and joy spring up. The coming of these delectable diverters, these merry terpichorean trippers, these truth like wondrous warblers, and laughter side-splitting, with tears of pleasure, these children of Africa, banish care and fill your expectations to the brim. A wondrous success has been the history of this now famous organization from its inception. It has been managed with consumate skill and given unlimited satisfaction, so that every audience has gone away from the playhouse filled with delight and anxious to go again. Return visits to every town have been even more profitable than the one before. Imitation had been inevitable: the theatre-going public has grown weary of substitutes labelled "just as good," and the weak-legged "No. 2 Company." There is but one Rogers and Creamer's Negro Players of America and that one is supreme and incomparable. This is the second consecutive season of triumph and success for this company under the management of Edward Waldron, who has conducted the tours from the first. Many new features have been added and performers of merit have been constantly engaged The company for this year is of one of unusual excellence, with all new scenery, gorgeous costumes, and a sparkling and lively symposium of fun and frolic called THE OLD MAN'S BOY. The company to appear in this joyful frivolity is headed by Mille Alice Gorgas, the equal of Black Pattie, the world-famous prima dona, and while the great attraction-- Alice Gorgas-- is not the whole show, as is too often the case among stellar organizations. First among her support is "Billy" Harper an inestimable comedian and singer. Wherever "Billy" Harper is, the goddess of laughter sets up ILOCALS Mrs Fannie Taylor Clarke of Florence, S.

WORTH LOOKING INTO. Colonel French, a well kuowsi farmer who lives uear Davenport, Ta, has come cut in advocacy uf a system of compulsory inoculation for the preven- tlon gf hoz cholera which he contends would eradicate the disease in the pe- riod of a few years. When bog cholera was raging in his vietuity last summer he bad his entire herd of 1,000 animals Inoculated with the double treatment. He did not lose“ n single animal and considers the saving of his herd, worth $30,000, as directly due to the treat- ment given, «ts thorouzh tests were giv en to test the etlicacy of the treat- ment. Hozs that had been given the double treatment were turned into pens where ozs were dying by the score. and not one took the disease. It is worth while noting that this serum was not Some bargain stuff, but was the best that could Le xot and was ap- plied by men who .understood their business, Mr. rene recommends the appropriation of $250,000 by bis own state for the equipment of serum plants that would he able to furnish at cost all the serum needed by the farmers of the state, then the passage of a law making the Mnoculation of hogs compulsory. The plant equipped by the paltry appropriation of the last session of the Iowa legislature was just about enough for the serum need- ed by half a dozen counties. THE TUBERCULIN TEST. Many who have read of the tuber- culin test as a means of détecting the Presence of tuberculosis in a herd of cattle may be interested in the meth- od in which the test is made. The tuberculin Is the sterilized “and filtered glyceriu extraét of cultures of tubercle Vacilll. Before an animal is given the test several temperatures are taken, usually three, at intervals of two hours to ascertain the normal variations in temperature of the animal to be test- ed. The dose of tuberculin is then in- Jected under the skin between 8 and 10 o'clock of the same day. On the fol- lowing day the “after” temperatures aretaken. The first reading {s msde at 6 a. m. and at intervals thereafter of ‘every two hours for a perlod of twenty hours. If the animal tested doesn't have tuberculosis there will be no changes in temperature, while if it is affected there will be a decided rise in temperature following the application of the tuberculin. While the applica- tion of the treatment docs not and can- not possibly cause tuberculosis in a ‘well animal, it should be applied only by a careful expert. WHAT A VIRGINIA BOY pip. ‘Tho achievement of a Virginia boy, ‘Hogh Gunnell, in producing 132 bush- els of shelled corn on one acre of land Js being published In agricultural pa- pers of the country and should serve to encourige other farm lads to get out of the rut in which thelr fathers have trod and try something different. The bookkeeping on this oue acre of corn is summarized as follows: Seven- ty bushels of corn, contracted to the agricultural department at Washing- ton at $2 a bushel, $140; sixty-three bushels at 0 cents a bushel, $37.80; 865 bunches of corn fodder at 4 cents a buneh, $14.00; twenty dollar prem!- um from the county, $20; trip to the cora exposition at Columbia, 8. ©, worth $30. ‘This makes a total income of $242.40. It cost to raise this acre, including manure, plowing, rent of land, fertilizer and ‘working of corn, in- cluding harvesting, $30.59: ‘This leaves totdl ‘net receipts of $211.81. ‘This was well ‘worth while from the standpoint of the money recefved, but was also worth a good deal more than this in Its educational and inspirational yalue for the boy. SA, SS NGG He Re FP HSS OE ee FIGHTING HOG CHOLERA. Preventive Treatment With Serum Has Proved Successful, ‘The university farm of Minnesota university has publisbed a bulletin on hog cholera and its preventive treat- ment, from which the following 1s gleaned: Hog cholera has been recognized as a specific contagious disease of swine for about 100 years. ‘The first authen- ticated outbreak in this country occur- red In 1833, when large numbers of hogs in Obio died from a disease which answers the description of hog cholera as we now know it. This highly contagious disease bas caused the loss of millions of dollars annually. It has been estimated that the losses during 1912 reached $30,000,- 000. One state alone Is sald to have sustained a loss of $10,000,000 from this dread disease in 1912, It has been recently discovered that well hogs may be“treated (vaccinated) with hog cholera serum so that thes will not take the disease if exposed later. Such treatment Is called immu. nization. ‘This method of treatment bas passed the experimental stage and BBS BA aRN TS a + mde Sages © i . 7 erp ee ae etc lie: See: BES be hee Ae Reelin, Wee Se, .

Immunization consists In bringing abour therpresence of what are eailed imrune bodies In the blood. ‘They enable the aniual to resist such cholera germs as enter the system. These immune bodies are present in the blood of bogs that have recovered from cholera. Such animals are sometimes called “immunes.” A hog that has been treated with hog cholera serum without exposure to cholera at the same,time docs not form any protective substances or {m- mune bodies of its own. It 1s render- ed immune for a short time (three weeks to two months), due to the pres- ence of the protective substances in jected. Such treatment ts known as the single or “serum only” method. When it Is desired to malo a hog permanently fmmune and there is no cholera yet in the herd it fs necessary that hog cholera germs be Introduced into bis system simultaneously with the serum, which protects the hog from the cholera germs Injected. This is accomplished by the Introduction into the hog’s body of a small amount of virus, Virus {s the germ laden blood obtained from a hog sick with cholera. It is injected at the same time with the seram, but with a sep- arate syringe. By this method the hog 4s enabled to develop enough protec- tive substances of its own to render it Permanently immune. This is known as the double or “serum virus” method ‘of treatment. Caked Udder In Cows. Caked udder in cows Is also common- ly called garget, of which there are two kinds—one noncontagious, the oth- er infectious. It 1s frequent trouble, especially in cold weather, often due to “catching cold” in the udder. ‘The symptoms usually appear soon after calving, and many complications often ensue, some- times resulting in a damaged quarter. Since cows are so high priced it is certainly poor economy to attempt home treatment in severe cases. If your veterinarian treats the case he can give you the benefit of a personal examination. If a veterinarian is not available the general treatment Is to sive 2 purgative of epsom salts and bathe the udder with warm water to which have been added several table- spoonfals of sodium hyposulphite.

Some of the old Welsh death and funeral customs are curious, as, for in- stance, the opening of the windows when a person was dying. Many years ago when a gentleman at Devil's Bridge, Cardiganshire, was passing away all the boxes, drawers, etc, in ‘the house were unlocked, as it was thought that anything fastened would hinder the Might of the spirit. This su- perstition fs also known in Devon and Gornwall, and in Gloucestershire the door is opened at death.—Carditt West- ern Mall. ‘The Name “Gas” ‘Who first used the word “gas,” and why? Merely because of the supposed resemblance of the product of burning carbon to the “chaos” of the Gréeks. “This spirit, bitberto unknown,” wrote the experimenter Van Helmont ta 1648, “I call by the name of gas, and I call Jt so because, being untam- able, It Is scarcely dist Ingulshable from the chaos of the ancients.” A glimpse at modern gag devices will show how far removed from untamability 1s the gas of today. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson X1-—Fourth duarter, For Dec. 14, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. be Mee, erg ea ee cage Tee a Numbers xxii, 23—Commentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Although our lesson is in chapter vil, we are asked to read to chapter xf, ending with the words, “So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord said unto Moses * * * and the Jand vested from war (21, 23). ‘The section tells of the conquering and destruction of many citfes after the taking of Jericho, but begins with the defeat at Aland the reason of it Defeat scems strange after the word of the Lord to Josbua, “There shall not any man be able to stand before thee ‘all the days of thy life” (I-5), but the faltitment of the Lord's promises sometimes depends upon conditions to be fulfilled on our part, as when He sald, “If ye abide In Me and My words abide fy you ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you.” @ohn xx, 0. We have seen that Israel had been forbidden to appropriate anything of the goods of Jericho, and unknown to Joshua there had been transgression ‘We do not wonder that he In his Igno- rance of this rent his clothes :nd fell upon his face before the ark and that ho and the, elders of Israel pat dust upon their heads and that he said: “0 Lord, what shall I say when Israel turneth their backs before their ene- mies? What wilt Thou do unto Thy great name?" (Verses 6, 8) Wo do well to consider whether our name or His name is most, In our es- timation. Joshua was jealous for the honor of Jehorab. ‘The Lord explain- ed the cause of the defeat by the sad announcement that Israel had sinned, had stolen and dissembled, and He sald that He would ngt be with them any more until the sin was confessed and put away (rerses 10-12). Al- though only one man had sinnéd. note that the Lord said that the nation was guilty. “Israel bath sinned: they have transgressed, they bast taken" (verse 1). ‘Consider how the welfare of a famlly or a church may be affected by the wronxdoing of one person. On the morrow Joshua bezan to seurch for the guilty one. and. proba- bly by lot, the guilt was found to be in the tribe of Judah. ‘Then the faml- ly was found and then the hovsebold and finally the individual, and Achan began to realize that bis sin bad found him out (sil, 18, and Golden ‘fest). Joshua then urged Achan to male confessiow, which he did, and, the stolen things beinz found in his tent, be and all his were stoned and burned and the sin put away (xix, 26). ‘The valley of Achor is therefore spoken of as a door of hope (Hos. il, 19), for where there are confession and putting away of sin there will always be blessing. Achan’s confession, “I saw, I coveted, 1 took” (verse 21), takes us back’ to Eden, where Eve saw and desired and took the forbid- den fruit, Onur eyes affect our bearts for good or evil (Sam, iif, 51), and we are prove to follow our inclinations; therefore we need to pray. “Turn away mine eyes from bebolding vanity” (Ps. exix, 37). When we behold the beauty of the Lord and follow Him fully, as Caleb and Joshua did and as Simon Peter was exhorted to do, all will be well (Ps. xxvil, 4; Num. xxxil, 12; Jobn xxl, 22). ‘There was a secondary cause of Is- racl's defeat at Al. and that was, un- derestimating the enemy und thinking thate2,000 or 3,000 men were sufficient to conquer such a city (verses 25). ‘When the sin of Acban was put away and the Lord encouraged Joshua to go up and take AJ, saying, “Fear not; pel- ther be thou dismayed,” He atso said. “Take all the people of war with thee” (chapter vill. 1, 2). ‘This time the'city was taken and de- stroyed, as fully recorded in viil, 3-29. Thene Joshua offered burnt offerings and peace offerings unto the Lord, wrote a copy of the Law of Moses and read every word before all the congre- gation (rill, 30-35). Chupter 9 tells of Joshua forgetting bis instructions from the other cap- tain to loose bis shoe from off his foot (, 13-10, for he made a league with the lying Glbeonites without consult- ing bis captain; he asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lord (ix, 14), We cannot expect that, He will direct us if we fail to acknowledge Him (Prov. i, ©.

C. BOWSFIELD 1 MANY city women have shown in recent years that they are capable of running a farm. In the numerous little farm enterprises which are observed around every large city women are conspicuous as owners and managers. It is evident that they are determined to grasp the new problems which surround agricultural life. A number of Chicago women have given practical demonstration of the success which may be attained by their sex in the lighter class of farming and country home management. The tendency which is now so apparent toward rural life is likely to reverse the flow of population. This has a sociological as well as a commercial aspect, and the results will be largely credited to woman. Her work is of ever increasing importance in farm life. It is her province so to shape social conditions in the country that young people will be attracted to agricultural pursuits rather than repelled therefrom. Women are showing that there are large profits to be made from honey, poultry, onions, cucumbers, sweet corn, flowers and many other commodities which they are capable of handling in a manner demanded by the best trade. The certainty that prices will remain high for such products comes from the rapid growth of towns and cities. The market for flowers and general produce seems to be unlimited, and satisfactory returns are assured. where proper attention is given to cultivation. Choice asters are selling in the wholesale market at $4 per 100, and as this has become the favorite product of many of Chicago's women floriculturists it is worth while to consider what one can earn on an acre of land. An aster is distinctly an out of door plant. It is hardy and the most free from insects of any garden product. It is exceedingly prolific. With land fairly well fertilized an acre will produce at a moderate estimate $1,200 worth of asters. A yield of $1,400 would not be at all phenomenal. Garden produce may seem more practicable as a family enterprise. On a tract of twelve acres which she is handling with the hope of enabling her husband to give up city employment a woman makes this showing: Five acres of onions, net.....$700 Eggs from 300 hens.....400 Seventy-five bushels of cherries.....175 One acre of cucumbers, net.....125 $1,400 The five acres of onions brought in market upward of $1,000, but there was a large item of expense, chiefly hired help. Still another example is given in the following table: Six hundred pounds of honey..... $30 Butter from eight cows..... 480 Cherries from forty trees..... 30 Squabs..... 70 Dogs and poultry..... 200 Twenty hogs..... 350 Horse and young stock..... 190 $1,470 In this case $300 was paid out for wages, and the increased value of stock almost equaled this sum. GREW SPUDS IN BARREL Wonderful Example of Intensive Potato Cultivation Reported by Farmers to Cultivation Reported by Farmer. A few years ago an ingenious gardener near one of our eastern cities was inspired to test the possibility of growing potatoes in a barrel. The barrel had formerly contained lime, but not much of this remained. The experimenter placed in the bottom of the barrel, from which the head had been taken out, five or six inches of rich soil and embedded in this a single whole potato. As the vines grew fresh earth was added from time to time and the plants were watered whenever the soil appeared dry. No insects or blight troubled them, and early in the fall, when the vines seemed to be dry, the contents of the barrel were turned out and 125 large, fine tubers were found, all attached to the dead stems, besides a half peck of small potatoes not of marketable quality. The experiment was claimed to be a great success, and it was said that 5,000 barrels were immediately ordered for the production of the next year's crop. For this very little seed comparatively would be required, very little labor in preparing the bed, no weeding or cultivating except the occasional addition of a few inches of fresh soil, no paris greening for potato bugs or bordeaux mixture for blight and the harvesting done by merely picking up the tubers from the overturned barrel.—Farm Progress. A Land Mark Your land will never again be what it was if you do not do something to keep it what it is—Farm and Ranch. His Quandary. "What I can't git through me," says Farmer Hornihand, "is how these here dressmakers gits their ideas. Fr instance, I seen a woman on th' street that looked 's if they wasn't nobody in her clothes at tall, an' my married darter, which is a city dressmaker woman, said th' dress wuz 'too full,' when it looked 't me 's if it was gosh dinged nigh empty. An' aft'ward I seen one 'at looked 's if 'y couldn't 'a squeezed a cambric needle in beside 'er, an' my darter said 't wan't. full enough,' when it looked 't me 's if 't would bust if they tried t fill it any fuller, by heck!'—Strickland Gillilan in Lippincott's. His Fate. The race of consequential vergers is not yet extinct. Dean Pigoc has a story about one of them who, when a bishop asked him at what point he was to make his appearance, replied: "First I take the choir people to their places, and then, after they are seated, I return for you, my lord, and conduct you to the halter."—London Telegraph. Love Deaths In Japan Suicide as a cure for hopeless love is a common expedient in Japan. "There are Japanese lovers," says a writer, "who, owing to circumstances, are unable to marry, but they do not blame circumstances. They regard their misfortune as the result of an error in a previous existence, such as breaking their promise to wed or because they were cruel to each other. Such lovers believe that if they bind themselves together with an undergirdle and spring into a river or lake they will become united in their next birth. This suicide of Japanese lovers is called 'Joshi,' which means 'love death' or 'passion death.'" Lightning and Thunder. By counting the number of seconds in the interval between lightning and thunder it is possible to figure approximately how far from the observer is the scene of the storm. Sound travels 1,100 feet a second. Multiply the number of seconds by 1,100 and it will give the distance in feet from the point where the lightning flashed. For example, if ten seconds have elapsed the distance away will be 11,000 feet, or a little over two miles. It might be added that, as light and lightning travel so much faster than sound, if a man survives after hearing the crashing peal he can be sure he is safe. Remembrance of this will dissipate terror. Disturbing Punctuality. There are on occasion two points of view as to the punctuality of trains. We get one in Sir Mountstuart Grant-Duff's story of the Limerick station master's reply to Lord Gort, who had arrived just too late for the express, "Shure, me lord, the punctuality of that train disturbs the whole town of Limerick!" A Queer Trade: Mr. Chesterton once wrote a book called "The Club of Queer Trades." One of the queerest trades in real, he is that of the elderly South London man who stands daily at a very congested crossroad and assists children over the thoroughfare. Some sixteen years ago he started this occupation out of sheer benevolence and has been doing it ever since. The small sums and the Christmas gifts he receives from the parents of the children serve to eke out his pension.—London Globe. Big Snowfalls. the heaviest fall of snow that ever took place in England occurred in 1615. The snow commenced falling on the 16th of January, 1615, and continued every day until the 12th of March following. It covered the earth to such a depth that passengers, both horse and foot, passed over gates, hedges and walls, which had been obliterated by the white sheet. On the 12th of March it began to decrease and so by little and little melted and wasted away till the 23th of May. A heavy fall occurred in Scotland in 1620, the snow falling thirteen days and nights with little or no intermission. Took It to Herself. The superintendent of a Sunday school was explaining the sin of gossip. "Now," he said, "did any of you ever hear any one talk about some one else?" "Yes, sir," plped a four-year-old incorrigible on the front row of the primary class. Whereupon the youngster's mother, back in the Bible class, blushed furiously and made a mental vow to repr曼and the incorrigible when she got him home.—Indianapolis News. His Sorrow. "You know that box of cigars you gave me on my birthday, dear?" said a man to his wife. "Yes." "Well, I took them down to the office, and some one stole them." "I'm awfully sorry." "So am I—for the thief!" was the cruel remark. Too Much Sleep. Bix—They say that too much sleep is harmful. Do you believe it? Dix—That depends. Ten hours' sleep may not hurt a man in bed, but ten seconds would be ruinous in the prize ring.—Boston Transcript. Mrs. John Purry Mitchell, Wife of Gotham's Mayor Elect. P. A. 1912. by American Press Association. MRS. JOHN FURROX MITCHEL. The election of John Purroy Mitchel brings his wife into great prominence as official chateauine of the city of New York. Mrs. Mitchel, who before her marriage to Mr. Mitchel was a Boston girl, is the picture of a strong, healthy outdoor woman, and she holds that every one could be healthy if he or she would take regular exercise. She is particularly interested in swimming. The wife of the new mayor elect is also a strong champion of woman's suffrage and believes that in ten years hence women will have the ballot in New York state. Although a suffragist, Mrs., Mitchel took no active part in her husband's campaign. She is more interested in the work of the woman's auxiliary of the board of health, which is aiding in the fight to stamp out tuberculosis, than in the political game. In a recent interview Mrs. Mitchel was asked whether she would insist upon her husband putting a ban on the slit skirt and the filmy sartorial effect. Here her devotion to personal liberty came out. "Indeed, I would not!" she replied. "This is a free country, and I believe that every one should be allowed to dress as she pleases. Of course if any style should be too extravagant it would bring its own punishment. Women should dress so as to make themselves most attractive, and extravagant dress will not do that." Mrs. Mitchel alluded to the fact that she liked housekeeping and would not be content without her own home. So the natural question was: "If you like housekeeping, do you like cooking?" "Shall I tell a lie or shall I tell the truth?" she replied with a charming little laugh. "I'll say that I like to cook in camp, and camping is great. I would like to spend two months in the woods that way every year. All outdoor life is very attractive to me." Incidental to her remarks about housekeeping, Mrs. Mitchel spoke of the criticism often heard of the higher education of women. Mrs. Mitchel believes that the more highly developed a woman is intellectually the more helpful she can be as a wife. "I am not a college woman myself, but I am sorry that I am not." Handy Articles For Hall Rack Handy Articles For Hall Rack Here are two adjuncts for the hatrack or hall stand, which may be cordially recommended as easily made and sure to be very useful. One is a long handled shoehorn, to be used when putting on rubber overshoes; the other, a shoe duster, which has a use all its own after a walk along dirty roads. The shoehorn is carved or whitted from some soft, light wood, with a handle long enough to enable one to use it in putting on or in taking off overshoes while standing erect. The duster is made from strips of old flannel and woolen cloth cut into finger-wide strips three inches long, wound round and round the handle of a discarded feather duster to form a thick, soft tassel with which to flick one's shoes on entering the house. When you have given both these articles a fair trial you will never like to be without them. "Dew Gown" In Washington. The new "dew gown" has arrived in the attractive evening wardrobe of Miss Valerie Padelford, granddaughter of General Ordway. The dew effect is given by a clever arrangement of separate netting and veils draped about the gown. One particularly fetching gown is of baby blue silk made with a slight Balkan effect, while the dew touch is given by a white silk veil studded with crystals which reaches below the knees. Still another gown has a bodice of brilliant cerise, while the skirt and train are made of blue, with a mass of blue silk net effectively setting off the brilliancy of her brunette beauty. Miss Padelford is a debutante of last season GREATNESS. There is a kind of elevation which does not depend on fortune. It is a certain air which distinguishes us and seems to destine us for great things. It is a price which we imperceptibly set on ourselves. By this quality we usurp the deference of other men, and it puts us, in general, more above them than birth, dignity or even merit itself.—La Rochefoucauld. How Daniel Webster Proposed. How Daniel Webster Proposed. In former times it was the fashion for a suitor to go down on his knees to a lady when he asked her to become his wife, but the way in which Daniel Webster proposed to Miss Fletcher was more modern and poetic. Like many another lover, he was once holding a skein of yarn which the lady had been unraveling. "Grace," said he, "we have been untying knots; let us see if we cannot the one which will not untie in a lifetime." With a piece of tape he fashioned the half of a true lover's knot and Miss Fletcher completed it. Slighted His Chance At a singing contest at Frankfort, Kaiser Wilhelm, who attended, was served by several high school boys as pages. According to Jugend, he was attracted by the bright face of one of them and asked his name. "Korner, your majesty," said the boy. "And your first name is Theodore?" said the emperor, thinking of the patriot poet Theodore Korner, whose war songs stirred Germany. "I'm sorry," replied the uncourtierlike youngster, "but it's only Wilhelm." When Kaiser Wilhelm broke into a hearty laugh at the answer the pago realized his missed opportunity.—New York Post. He Had a Millionaire's Privilege. They had just become engaged. "Oh. Will," she said, moving a trifle closer to him. "I am so glad you are not rich! They say that some of those millionaires receive threatening letters saying that something dreadful will happen to them if they don't pay the writers sums of money." "Oh, is that all?" replied Will. "Why, I get plenty of such letters." A Natural Cake of Soap. An odd and useful plant of our Pacific coast is the soaproot. The grasslike, crinkled leaves appear close to the ground in the spring and are known to every California country dweller. They grow from a deep rooted bulb incased in coarse fiber. If the fiber is stripped off and the onion-like bulb crushes between the hands is rubbed in water as one uses a cake of soap a plentiful lather results, as cleansing as any soap bought in a store.-St. Nicholas. SMALL; DUTIES Begin with small things. You cannot enter the presence of another human being without finding there more to do than you or I or any soul will ever learn to do perfectly before we die. Let us be content to do little if God sets us at little tasks. It is but pride and self will which say, "Give me something huge to fight and I should enjoy that, but why make me sweep the dust?"—Charles Kingsley. Landseer's Critic. A friend of Sir Edward Landsceer, who accompanied him to Kensington museum on the first occasion of its exhibition by gaslight, relates that Landseer stopped short before his large picture, "A Visit to Waterloo." "I must have been mad," said he, "when I painted that." And, walking up to the picture, he placed his hand over the part which had attracted his criticism. An attendant policeman shouted his polite caution, "Now, then, take your 'ands off there!'" "My good man," said Sir Edwin, "I was merely remarking how bad that was." "Then why don't you go and do better?" said the policeman, who had no idea to whom he was speaking. Could Not Prevail.
