Palladium man will call upon his subscribers. Emancipation day, August 4, will be one of fond remembrance if you attend the barbecue of the Booker T. Washington Social club at Offenstein's grove. There will be two bands in constant attendance at the emancipation celebration of the Booker T. Washington Social club on August 4. Everyone is going. If you desire to spend an enjoyable as well as a cool evening, attend the first grand outing given by the state and City Janitors' association at Bloomecke's grove, August 2. Mrs. George Bullock, of 3320 Franklin avenue, will leave Sunday to visit her father-in-law in Jackson, Tenn. We wish her a pleasant trip and a safe one. She will be gone a month. Mrs. Mahoney, of 2811 Howard street, is very poorly. Mrs. Julias Mahoney is almost continually at her side, and were it not for her. God only knows what this dear creature would do. So much for her. God bless this daughter-in-law. Everyone is invited to attend the barbecue to be given at Bloemcke's grove Wednesday evening, August 2, by the janitors' association. The most popular lady will receive free round-trip ticket to the Pythian encampment in Pittsburg, Pa. Mrs. F. L.

We deeply sympathize with her in this sad affliction. Misses Eva and Dimple Richardson will leave about the 7th of August for an extended visit through the south. They will visit their aunt, Mrs. Julia Lewis, of Austin, Tex., and will return about the middle of September to resume their school duties. Miss Josie Hose, who has just returned from Newport, Ark., is now living at 2295 Belle avenue, and is looking well indeed. Her sister, Mrs. Bonyes, who returned a few weeks before, is now living at $2612_{1/2}$ Mills street. Of course they want The Palladium. LYONS OPEN ALL NIGHT. LYONS' CAFE, GEO. J. LYONS, Proprietor. Ten Reasons Why You Should Patronize Lyons' Cafe. 1. Because his motto is promptness ordered man and for the Colored people and cleanliness. where you can have your steaks and 2. Because it is strictly an up-to-date place in every respect. 3. Because he personally supervises the culinary department. 4. Because you are served by polite and attentive waiters. 5. Because he will sell you a better cup of coffee with two rolls or two doughnuts for 5 cents than any other place in the city. 6. Because it is the only restaurant in the city owned and operated by a Col- Mrs. C. Curry, of 3326 Franklin avenue, has been sick for several weeks. At present she is up again, but far from being well. We hope for her ultimate recovery. Under the auspices of the Men's Guild, the annual moonlight excursion of All Saints' Episcopal church will be given Monday evening, August 14, on the steamer City of Providence. Little Lewis Slemmons, of 2819 Adams street, died July 21, at the age of 11 years. He was buried July 22. His grandmother, Mrs. Hunter, was on the river, and was not here at the burial of her grandson. Mrs. Georgia A. Burnett, of 2516 Baldwin street, has at last obtained a divorce from her husband, and her former name, Miss Georgia Mae Clark, has been restored. She is yet a lovely creature. Oh, but she is looking lovely. The rehearsal of the new dance, "Allietecegeece," is attracting large audiences Wednesday and Friday evenings at the Orpheus Dancing Academy. The excellent ventilation of True Reformers' hall and the large electric fans, constantly in motion, make the academy the coolest pleasure resort in the city. Mr. Charles H. Franklin, of 1705 Gratio street, died Monday at 6:45 a.m., aged 54 years. He was buried in Montgomery City, Mo., his former home. He leaves a wife, son and brother to mourn his loss. His son is now a deputy sheriff in St. Louis. Rev. Gillium officiated at the funeral services. Miss Olivia Richardson, of 3004 Lawton avenue, is now the editress of the St. Louis Palladium. We recognize that we can not live always, and for the past two months we have not the best of health, and in case we pass from this active world we will leave the Palladium in much abler hands than it has been in—so look to Miss Olivia Richardson, Editress. ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES Sunday, the 30th, Rev. J. W. Powell, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, will preach at Antioch church at 11 a. m. Come out and hear him, Sunday, the 30th, at 3 p. m. Rev. R. H.

Antioch Baptist church will take out an excursion to Stallings, Ill., August 21. More will be said in our next issue. "The Passion Play" given at Antioch church Tuesday, the 25th, was somewhat of a success, and yet not near as many as ought to have been out. Members, always come out and support your own. Mrs. Mary Woods, a member of Antioch church, who was very sick at 2740 Walnut street, is now at the Provident hospital. CAFE, 319 JEFFERSON AVE. 7.

Don't forget the number, 319 North Jefferson avenue. HILD. Great Western Band. Boat leaves foot of Olive Street at 8:30 ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1905. Hot Shots. Hot Shots and Something to Think of—Who Does the Shoe Fit. Times have changed. Married women say that they leave their homes because their husbands don't let them have men call on them. Why is it that the mothers and fathers will dress their girls beyond their means? You are only making trouble for yourself and the ruination of that girl. CAN'T YOU SEE IT? When a husband chastises his wife for some shortcoming the first thing she will say is, "Look here, Nigger, I can go to Chicago and be a white lady's maid, and I am not going to be bossed by you." Not long ago a white man got a divorce from his wife because of her fondness for the Filipino scouts. We know of a Negro woman who left home because one of these newcomers to the World's fair was not allowed to visit her. She is willing to have the new—but, but—time will tell. Evil communication will corrupt good morals. A constant dropping of water will tend to wear away stone. If a person is in constant association with a low element of people, the result will be seen. It is far better to associate with the better, for if we get contaminated it will be with the good and not the evil. Women or men who do not respect their marriage vow, and so far forget it as to associate with men or women and think it no harm, ought to get their heads soaked and quit the walks of respectable men and women. No man or woman is permitted to keep the company of men or women while he or she is married until they are divorced. There is a common class of Negro men and women that, whenever things do not suit them, they can leave home and go elsewhere and live so content with a star-roomer, or some man who is calling on business, as graceful as a big sunflower that bends and nods in the breezes. Oh, could you do the same? Old Negro women and men who make it a business of talking about young girls and women, and don't know anything, ought to look back on their own lives and the lives of their families, and then ask themselves the question: "Is my daughter any better than the one whom I am talking about; and am I the only pebble on the beach?" Well, well, well! I will be more careful in the future, Lawton Avenue. Rovally Entertained. Mr. and Mrs. Willie Diggs were married a few days ago, and are among the happiest of young couples. They expect to make their home in Columbia, Mo., with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Burrell Diggs, who are among the oldest and most highly respected, as well as wealthiest. Colored families in that town. Mrs. Willie Diggs is the daughter of Mrs. H. C. Curtis, of 707 North Fourteenth street. A grand reception was given in honor of the bride and groom by Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Motley last Sunday. There was music, and everything the heart could wish for to eat and drink. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Curtis, of 707 North Fourteenth street, will give their daughter and son-in-law a swell affair, August 17, from 5 p. m. until 2 a. m. All friends and acquaintances are invited—707 North Fourteenth street. "It Won't Rain This Time." The Great Western club will give its second evening excursion Monday, August 21, on the steamer City of Providence. The club will spare no pains to make this excursion an occasion long to be remembered by all who attend. The officers are: Floyd Ross, president; A. C. Cash, vice-president; John B. Vashon, secretary; Wm. D. Flowers, treasurer and James W. Grant, general manager. Lightning struck an oil tank at Humble, Tex., and up to latest accounts the loss by fire had reached $250,000 and still burning. CONNECTICUT STATE, BUILDING LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION ST. LOUIS 1804 Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The association has purchased the three-story stone front house, 2702 Lawton avenue, the purchase price being $5,000, of which $2,500 was paid down cash. Some extensive improvements and alterations will be made, and an earnest effort made to secure much-needed furnishings and equipment which will place the association in a position to do some real work. Special work for boys from 12 to 16 years of age will be one of the added features, also shower bath facilities and a small gymnasium. The hope is to bring our association up so that it will compare favorably with other cities where work is carried on for our young men. A volunteer cleaning squad, under the guidance of the president and secretary, has been organized, and, assisted by Dr. Crews and Mr. Brown and Mr. Piarson, of St. Paul's church, have done some effective house cleaning in the new building. We need some more men for this important service. The Bible class was largely attended last Sunday. Come, and bring a friend, at 4 p. m. next Sunday. Board of directors meets Wednesday night. NEWS OF M. J. MADISON. The Former Agent of the Palladium. Mr. Phil McGregor, of Pacific, Mo. subscribed and paid for the Palladium, also many more in Pacific, Mo. Send in your names and we will send the Palladium to you, at the same time we have written letters to many of our friends in the state to be on the lookout for this man. Whoever sees him have him arrested, and we will send for him, and to Jefferson City in the penitentiary he will go. J. W. WHEELER Manager of St. Louis Palladium. ONE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT. On account of the marriage of two of our main editress, Misses Elizabeth Morgan and Katie Johnson, who are new out of the city, we are compelled to get another editress, and we hope all matter of interest pretaining to the Palladium will be in her hands. Any contract made by her will be final, and please do not say to her: "We will see the manager." Miss Olivia Richardson is from date in charge of editorial department of the Palladium and the manager will carry out all that she may do. J. W. WHEELER. Doing Good Work. Mrs. Laura A. Wilson, of 114 Rankin avenue, who left St. Louis about a month ago in the interest of the True Reformers in Texas, reports a brilliant future for the Lone Star state in the U. O. of T. R. She states that, assisted by Mr. C. A. Puryear, she has organized two clubs and set up a fountain with 25 members. She says Texas has more money than two of these other states. At Rest. Mrs. Ida Jones, of 1523 Gratiot street, left July 7 to accompany the body of her dead mother, who died in this city on July 6, to Memphis, Tenn., for burial. She leaves a son, one daughter and many friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. Jones was to return home last Wednesday. The Frisco System is among the best railroad systems in this country.

C. Thomas, pastor of the Holiness Church of God, located on St. Louis and Belt avenues, will leave the city about July 28, to visit the south. His first stop will be at Memphis, Tenn., and from there to Leland, Miss., and from Leland, Miss., to Greenville, Miss., where there will be a holiness meeting opened by the Holy Ghost in the pastor, D. W. Welch. It will be carried on as long as the Holy Ghost leads. I ask the prayers of all the saints. I now invite all who wish to attend this meeting on Belt and St. Louis avenues. Take the Cass avenue car on Seventh street, down town, and it will bring you to the tent at the loop. Please read twelfth chapter of Heb., fourteenth verse. I am yours truly in the work of the master. PETTICOAT LOGAN. And the "Professional World" on the S. M. & W. B. F. The little Negro who is called Rufus Logan, of Columbia, Mo., who claims to be editor of the Professional World, is one of the slickest ducks in the state of Missouri. We all know Jefferson Davis, the president of the southern confederacy, tried to escape in petticoats, but here is a young Negro that plays the petticoat racket for fun. We shall in our next issue give a pen picture of the renowned little brown skin petticoat Logan, of Columbia, Mo. Already Open. To the Members of the Douglas Social Club: We take the pleasure of announcing the election of officers to be held at our old quarters, 2106 Walnut street, on Wednesday, July 12, 1905. All members are requested to attend. Other business of importance will be transacted. Luncheon will be served. Respectfully yours, BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Big Four (Baltimore & Ohio route) is the railroad that is envied by all the railroads that come in contact with it. The officers are by nature cut out for railroad men. FIFTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION. The state fair will hold its fifth annual exhibition at Sedalia, August 21-26, 1905. The greatest fair in the history of the state is already assured. The best horses, jacks, mules, cattle, swine and sheep bred in the United States and many animals selected from the best herds in Europe, will be on exhibition. The display of saddle horses will include animals royally bred, thoroughly trained and unsurpassed in individuality. Matched teams and single drivers, the Kings and Queens of the American road horse, are now in preparation for an exhibition that will evidence the superiority of the breed, and of the intelligence of the American horse breeder. A number of Missouri counties and localities from other states have engaged space for an agricultural and horticultural exhibit. The agricultural building is one of the largest and the finest in architectural design on the grounds. It will be filled to its utmost capacity with the various products of Missouri's fertile soil. This exhibit will be an unanswerable tribute to the state's agricultural greatness and an evidence of her wonderful resources. The departments of Art, Textile Fabrics and Pantry Stores will show the domestic qualities of Missouri women. No other state can surpass them, possibly they have no equal. Every Missouri should attend the fair. If you can not contribute to the displays go and learn something of the granduer of the state, its unlimited possibilities and the greatness it promises in the future.

Let some of our subscribers read and wonder. We hope this will get you to see clear: 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from post office to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from post office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice with payment of arrearage is sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest anyone for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time, unpaid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the same as for theft, etc. R. A. and A. CLUB. Under New Management. On June 15th, 1905, Gen. Rice resigned the presidency of that organization, having served in that capacity more than 12 months. The board of directors and many of the members prevailed upon him to remain as president and general manager, but after he explained the fact that he had invested in a new field of business which would require all of his time and attention, his explanation was accepted with the best wishes for his success in his new venture from the club. Tom J. Holland, former treasurer, will succeed him. NOTICE News comes to us again of our former agent, M. J. Madson, that he obtained more than 20 subscribers in Moberly, including the postmaster; also in Mexico, and likewise in Rolla. All who send us their names, or evidence that they subscribed for the paper, we will send the same. So far we have counted 50 subscribers this agent has obtained, and not one dollar has been returned. Mark what we say, as soon as Chief Desmond returns home, he (Madson) will be arrested and brought to St. Louis. Mark the prediction of The Palladium. Warning When you go to the drug store to buy a bottle of Ozonized Ox Marrow be sure that you get the "Ozonized." See that "Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., Chicago, U. S. A." is printed on the package. Remember that the "Ozonized" it put up in fifty-cent size and is made only in Chicago and by us. We have no branch offices. Refuse all substitutes. The Ozonized Ox Marrow never falls to straighten kinky hair. For further particulars, see advertisement, "Wonderful Discovery," in this paper. Announcement. The Palace bathhouse will from now on be under the management of Will Tonsall, formerly manager of the Newport hotel, and one of our well-known young men, who will endeavor to please his friends, both ladies and gentlemen, as he has an apartment for ladies, also a lady attendant, the partnership between Lewis & Tonsall having been dissolved.

Nautral gas was discovered by James C. Patrick, a clerk in the office of County Clerk Phelps, on Brush creek near the intersection of Woodland av- enue and that stream in the south part of Kansas City. Mr, Patrick, with his family had been there for a half day’s outing. As he passed along the water's edge he noticed a bubbling. He set a newspaper on fire and threw it out on the water. To his astonish- ment, a blaze flashed up and continued to burn when he left there half an hour later. The gas gave forth the usual blue flame which distinguishes natural gas from the pale yellow blaze of the artificial product, To Advertixe Only Im Newspapers At the meeting of the Missouri re- tailers just closed in Hannibal the members unanimously agreed to dis- continue the use of programmes, song and cook books, church and society rosters, bills of fare and theater pro- grammes and all the freak methods of advertising.

The experts will continue their labors mainly to the swamp lands of Arkansas and Missouri which are reported to be the finest frog growing areas on the continent. Sun’s Rays Canse Blaze. A fire which started at Columbia in a tinshop has been explained in a oe culiar way. It is found that a pane of glass in a window in the rear of the shop is so shaped as to concentrate the rays of the sun. A pile of bills was placed on a table just in the place where the rays were concentrated, and during the afterncon they were ig- nited. The fire was discovered by people passing and was extinguished before any considerable damage was done. Polk Pansoucd Bution Govhty Bax Gov.

RO ters eee er ena cae people are looking for permanent domes, and we would suggest that they ‘ook to the great state of Texas, in or- jer to make a personal investigation ‘of the wonderful possibilities of the Lone Star state. Texas, particularly the territory traversed by the San An- tonio & Aransas Pass railway, which owns and operates 723 miles of road, as follows: Main Line—San Antonio to Houston. Waco Division—Waco to Yoakum. Lockhart Division—Lockhart to Shi- aer. Kerrville Branch—San Antonio to Kerrville. Corpus Christi Branch—-Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Greg- ory. Alice and Falfurrias Branch—Skid- more to Alice and Falfurrias. By reference to the map you will see that they run through the finest and sarliest truck-producing section in the southwest. The climate 1s so that the farmers raise and sell something every month n the year; in fact, it is known as che “open winter” farming country of he southwest, where a man can work out in the open air every day, and does aot have to spend all he makes in the rua. to keep him through the win- er. Itt uzderstood that the low rate Homeseekers’ tickets wili continue to oe on sale during November and De- cember to all San Antonio & Aransas Pass points, of which the following are the most prominent local stations: Falfurrias, Corpus Caristi, Alice, Sceville, Skidmore, Runge, Cuero, Yorktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yoakum, Giddings, Cameron, Luling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Floresville, Rockdale, Gonzales. You can pack up Sallie and the ba- bies and go south, and they will show you all of these fertilized fields, where you can enjoy life. It is a sad mis- take when our people crowd into a large city. You can do better by tak- ing up your home in Texas. We will continue this appeal for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes. Go on SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY. If you wish to spend a pleasant win- ter, GO TO TEXAS. If you have money to invest in land, GO TO TEXAS. If you wish to be benefited by the finest of artesian well water, GO TO TEXAS. If there are another number of oth- ‘er things you wish to do, just take ad- vantage of the never-vefore-heard-of offer of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway and go to Texas. Just think! Only $15 a round trip to Texas. Quite often one makes his home in a place where the best of advantages are not offered him. ‘The only way to remedy this incon- venience is to take advantage of what- aver opportunities afford themselves. ‘Texas is a state that contains acre upon acre of production farm land. It is not only productive daring the summer, but what is most unusua! al- so during the winter. A man doesn't have to “lay by” for the long winter months. The climate is such that one can farm all the yeat around. Some may hesitate beeaus: of the supposed difficulty in disposing of crops because of lack of railroads. Such a claim held good long years ago. At the present time, the San An- tonio railroad has access to every available point, and makes this spe- cial offer of $15 a round trip for the express benefit of those whose funds may be low, and who might wish to purchase land ia Texas, and could not afford the regular fare. ~_m't hesitate longer.

(1) THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fide subscribers than any other Negro paper in St.Louis, or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. To The Public. Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person firm or corporation, which may appear in the colums of The Palladium will be gladly corrected upon being brought to the attention of the management. All articles sent to this office for publication, must have the writer's signature or otherwise such articles will be ignored. We are not responsible for the return of unsolicited contributions on any subject. Churches and others having news or notices will please have the same in the office by Wednesday to insure publication in the week's issue. Five cents per line for each insertion. Seven cents per line for each insertion black face. It occasionally happens that papers sent to subscribers are lost or stolen. In case you do not receive any number when due, inform us by postal card, and we will cheerfully forward a duplicate of the missing number. To Our Subscribers. We hope that our subscribers will settle up with us, as we are in need of cash. Many of our subscribers are putting us off to go to picnics and balls. This will not do. So when our collector calls, please pay her, and don't say that you will call. For courses which we can not control, for the last two months, we have not been in the best of health, and almost recognizing that we can not throw those troubles off lightly, we are preparing to place the Palladium in other hands for a while. The Palladium is on a paying basis, and with a shrewed manager, and an editress like Miss Richardson, money can be made out of the Palladium. I must have some relief from the many troubles that seem to present themselves, which I had not even suspected. To be frank my health is good, but there are other troubles that we can not lightly set a side, for there are other reasons. We must rest a while until the sun of contentment of mind shines out upon us. The only mean thing said about Opportunity is that she is a knocker—at everybody's door. --- TO THE PUBLIC AND OUR AGENTS. Read, Then Canvas—Send In Your Subscriptions. It shows bad taste in an agent to tell us what a pattern sheet is sold for. We wish to say that The Palladium is not to be compared with any Negro paper in the west. We place the paper before the public as a Negro journal that has the news of the race. We are not in any way noted as a paper that caters to the whims of the public. Newspapers mold sentiment, and we are many enough to stand up against wrong in every shape, whether the public caters to it or not. We glory in one fact—that in our existence we have never missed an issue. We have taken a stand to do and say whatever we please, always being guarded by the principle of right, and to attack a scoundrel or a villain, we care not how high he stands nor with what church he is connected. The Palladium is sold for 5 cents a copy, or 20 cents per month, or $2 per year. If the agent can not show the public the difference between a newspaper and a pattern sheet, then he should not attempt to be an agent. God give us men who are willing to work and do the right thing in the right time. MANAGER WHEELER. AN UNWARRANTED ATTACK. On the Grand Officers of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. by Rufus Logan, Better Known as Petticoat Logan. We noticed an article in a little pattern sheet called the Professional World, which claims to be the official organ of the order of U. B. F. and S. M. T., publish the most disgraceful article about the officers of the order. If a lodge can hold such an unworthy man in its lodge, then that lodge is not loyal to the Grand Lodge. This man, Logan, better known as Petticoat Logan, is nothing more than a tool in a white man's hands. We published an article some months ago about this interloper, who, goes around like a senator with gum shoes on, and when he appears in a school room all the teachers are, or ought to be, nervous, because he is looking for the scalps of some one of the teachers. He claims to be the editor of the Professional World, but no man can edit a paper who is known to be a hindrance to the public good. How in the world can a man claim to be the official organ of an order, and the first issue that appeared before the order contained a criticism of the same? So far as the Palladium is concerned about any paper, its object is to do right and be an honor to the race that it represents. If this man should get to the Grand Lodge, the members of the order should point him out as "there is the man that is a terror to teachers." START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT-HAVE THE PALLADIUM SENT TO YOUR HOME AND BE UP-TO-DATE ON ALL MATTERS OF INTEREST. Our Dishonest Agent, M. J. Madson. We have a long letter from Prof. C. L. Robinson, principal of the Colored school at Pacific, Mo., in which he sent us the receipts of 10 persons which our ex-agent, M. J. Madson, had given them, many of the leading business white men of that city. We will send the paper to them for the time, one year. He worked Moberly, Mexico, St. Charles and Rolla, Mo. We state again that those who have received receipts "send them to us," as we will need them as soon as he is arrested. The Palladium will carry out the contract made by this dishonest agent. If you want the people to know that you are in business send your ad to the Palladium. Great Western Excursion. The heavy rain Monday night did not prevent the Great Western club from carrying out its promise and the excursion went out, although hundreds were kept back by the weather. Those who attended say that they "had the time of their lives." By almost the unanimous request of those on board, the club will repeat the excursion Monday night, August 21, on the steamer City of Providence. The Greely Club Reorganized. At 1215 Lucas avenue the members of the Greely club meet. Officers: George Fountain, president; C. A. Scott, vicepresident; Peter Hickman, secretary; Steve Smith, treasurer. Help a Worthy Lady.

MEN AND WOMEN Who have Tired Brain and Weak Nerves Read this Letter to you about the Great Invigorator of Mind and Body Dear Friend: Do you feel "all dragged out," lacking in energy, incapable of concentrating your thought? If so you are in danger—your physical and nervous vitality are at a low level and you are unable to cope with the demands of the food you impress upon you the fact that to delay in taking measures to cure yourself in any case of brain or nervous irritation or in weakness is a very serious problem. If you are all the time overwork or dissipation or excesses of any nature it is a certain sign of exhausted or claused brain or nerve cells. Dr. Taylor's Brain Food & Nerve Restorer being composed of the same chemical constituents of which the brain and nerve cells are made, furnish the best possible nutrition for them, and is so important that it is readily assimilated and digested. For all sexual weakness, this food is unquestionably a positive cure. Being directed to the weakened nerve centers of the brain, a healthy condition, bringing back lost powers, stopping un-natural discharges, etc. By acting on the nerve centers—or "life centers"—in this way you can honest and effective treat or troubles them. Mrs. Sydney Simpson, writes: For many years I have been weak, tired, exhausted, had no life or ambition, was irritable, cross, blue and very discontented. I was a teacher, Dr. Taylor's Brain Food and New Restorer is wonderful. It has no equal. It made a new person out of me and I carefully recommend it as the remedy on earth for nervousness and exhaustion. Mr. Ax. Hill, writes: I was persuaded to try Dr. Taylor's Brain Food and New Restorer. My nerves became invigorated and strengthened, my memory improved and it received new life, my memory and it improved happiness and health to me that I am forced through gratitude to add this unsolicited testimonial for the benefit of the thousands who are sufferers from ill-health nerves and exhausted energies. NEXT ANNUAL MEETING Of the National Negro Business The next annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in the palm garden of the Central palace, New York city, August 16, 17 and 18, 1905. It is not, perhaps, saying too much to state that this meeting will bring together one of the largest and most representative bodies of Colored people that has ever assembled in this country, and the present plan of the officers not only embraces the bringing together of a large representation of Colored business men and women from the United States, but from the West Indian island and other foreign countries as well. Great preparations are already under way on the part of the New York Local Business League for the reception and entertainment of the delegates. Aside from the business that will be attended to at the meetings, the social features of the gathering are to be made very prominent, and it is the hope that the male delegates will not only be present themselves in large numbers, but that they will bring their wives with them. Since the last meeting in Indianapolis about twenty local leagues have been organized in various parts of the country. The total number of local leagues is now considerably more than one hundred, besides a number of state organizations. The national organizer, Mr. Fred R. Moore, 181 Pearl street, New York city, is very anxious to keep in touch with all local leagues, and to lend his services wherever needed in forming new local organizations. The strongest and most successful business men and women, picked from different parts of the country, will have a place upon the programme. Houses For Sale.

The Buffaloes are beyond a doubt the most popular organization in the city or state. Their exalted prelate, Hon. Wm. H. Fields, is the greatest diplomat in the United States. Besides being the most popular leader in the city, he is a great disciplinarian, and during meetings of the order you can hear a pin drop. He is surrounded with the very best officers that could be selected, and when the cabinet of officers meet and arrange a picnic or banquet all of the officers and members do their best, and then, with their great head, it is no wonder that the picnic was the largest of the season, or really, the largest attended picnic that was ever held in the city of St. Louis. Distinguished Colored citizens from all over the United States were there. Mr. and Mrs. James Francis, of Cincinnati, O., were there. Mrs. George W. Holt was there entertaining some friends. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. King, Mr. and Mrs. Buckner, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. L. Harris, Mrs. W. H. Fields was accompanied by Mr. Marshall Barnett, of New York city; Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Mitchell, Mrs. Geo.

The dancing hall was packed so full that it was impossible for the reporter to gain admission, or he would have been able to get more names of the beautiful guests of the most popular Buffaloes. All men who can get to be a member should try and join that institution, because, young men, it is the most popular in the city. You can hear it on the lips of everybody. There is even Buffalo talk in the air; the reporter really breathes Buffalo talk. The exalted prelate informs me that Parker lodge will give their open social session in a few days, and everybody that attended the picnic will be invited. Everything will be free to Buffaloes and their friends. THE PALLADIUM REACHES MORE HOMES THAN ALL OTHER RACE PAPERS PUBLISHED IN THE WEST AND IS UP TO DATE ON ALL MAT- TERS OF INTEREST.

Why Manufacturers Should Consider Negro Publications. Manufacturers are spending annually a large amount of money creating a demand for their goods through advertising agents, who never entertain a Negro publication. Firstly, There are eleven millions of Negroes who are consumers; more than any other one race of people in America. Of this population we can safely say there are two million Negroes who read Negro Journals. This must be done from the fact, white Journals do not print the Negro side of race questions, and Negro papers are to the Negro what the German, the Italian, Polish, the Swedish, Hebrew and other papers are to the respective nationalities. To the point, to those who know there is no class of people who are actuated or convinced of the superiority of a product by the publicity given the same than the Afro-American, for instance the manufacturer of liquors, etc., can visit colored hotels and find the best goods on the market dispensed, and demanded, they are familiar with the best brands of goods. Secondly, They pay the price for the best advertised goods. If this is doubted by making inquiries of the Anglo-Saxon retail stores. Advertising agents overlook the Negro when placing advertisements, because he does not do the selling and the jobbing, but this is unfair because it is the consumer that forces business. We see no reason why legitimate colored publications should not receive some consideration from advertising agents, as there are many deserving ones. The manufacturer who considers the Negro publications in advance will find this a profitable and inexpensive field to campaign in. The Negro is a consumer in every field; and it would do no harm and much good to look in this field. We do not desire to arrogate to ourselves the knowledge of showing men who have succeeded in placing their goods before the public, thereby creating a wholesome demand for the same. But desire to show that the above people should be considered from a practical business point of view. Sunday Services: S. S. 9:30 a. m. Preaching: 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. A. C. E. 6:30 p. m.

We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each... 30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each... 24 Mississippi... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas... 12 Missouri... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each... 18 Washington, D. C.... 4 Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each... 8 California, Ohio, New Jersey and Colorado, each 3.....12 Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indian Territory have one each.....7 Teritory have on each.....7 Published in the south.....101 Published in the west.....44 Published in the east.....26 Total.....171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. Furnished Rooms.

NO EFFORT WILL BE SPARED The Doctor-Hating Italian's of the French Market Section Seem to Have Been Responsible For the Infection. New Orleans, July 28.—All the forces engaged in the battle with the yellow fever scourge join in expressing the belief that while the situation has been and is serious, enough success has already been achieved in the application of the methods applied, as the result of the work of the Reed commission in Cuba, to justify the hope that for the first time in the history of the country what threatened to be a malignant epidemic of yellow fever will be stamped out before frost comes, and that New Orleans will be spared the horrors of previous epidemics. With the cases reported Thursday, the aggregate since July 13 runs close to 200. These are included in 20 to 25 feel, including the section around the French market, where the fever first appeared and where a large proportion of the cases and fatalities have occurred. This section runs from St. Ann to Barracks streets and from Chartres to the river, including about 40 city blocks. Italians here are notoriously prone to avoid physicians, and the fever got a foothold in the district before it became known to the authorities. No precautions were taken to destroy the mosquito, and the scourge spread with such rapidity that out of the cheap and crowded lodging houses the Italians who could get away fled, some going by rail to surrounding towns and some by luggers into settlements along the coast. The result is the appearance of cases of fever in various parts of the city, but principally below Canal street, in neighborhoods of the poorer classes. Almost every instance of a new foci outside the French market is that of an Italian who escaped therefrom or some one of a different nationality whose business was in that section. Every avenue of egress from the city has been closed by the rigid quarantines and uninfected sections of the city are discouraging any further invasions by Italians. It is considered wiser for them to remain where they are at present, and where they are to be charitable cared for if in distress and nursed if ill. GULF COAST INSPECTED. Surgeon Wasdin Found No Evidences of Fever Along the Coast. Washington, July 28.—Surgeon Wasdin reported to the public health and marine hospital service. Thursday, that he had made a thorough inspection of the gulf coast and had found no evidence of yellow fever.

Joyce, Methodist bishop, died at his home, 310 Groveland avenue, at 1:20 o'clock this morning as the result of a cerebral hemorrhage and consequent attack of paralysis which he sustained while delivering a sermon at Red Rock, Minn., camp meeting on Sunday, July 2. Bishop Joyce came to Minnesota six years ago. Previous to that time he had been presiding bishop of the Methodist missionary field work in China and Japan. It is said of him that he has spoken in the cause of religion in every civilized country of the world. Before going abroad he was a pastor at Chattanooga, Tenn., for four years, and at Cincinnati six years. He is a graduate of Hartsel university, a United Brethren institution of Ohio. Bishop Joyce was 69 years old. He is survived by a wife and one son, Col. Frank M. Joyce, of this city. CHINA'S CONSENT DOUBTFUL May Be Impossible to Secure China's Consent For Exclusion of Chinese Laborers. Washington, July 28.—Sorse doubt is expressed in official circles whether it will be possible to obtain China's consent to another treaty with the United States, providing for even the exclusion of Chinese laborers from this country. The present treaty will soon expire, and China is inclined to sign any similar convention. Drowned in Black River. South Haven, Mich., July 28.—In sight of 50 resorters at Cold Springs, on the Black river, Miss Fanny Hochfelder, aged 18, of Chicago, and William Heald, aged nine, son of W. H. Heald, proprietor of the resort, were drowned by the capsizing of a rowboat. A Referendum Suggested.

The proposit] was referred to a special committee FOR SUNDAY READING It Comes with the Exercise of Will and the Faith That Sees God's Care and Love. We may not all know the secret of real happiness, but who has not sounded the deep or shallow waters of pain! Why suffering is so universal, why there is no escape, we may not fully understand, but that every soul must feel its touch sometimes, and, it may be many times, is certain. There may be sufferings that may be remedial, that are after all kindly in their results, but while we are under their sway we can think of nothing but the pain of the now, and the future is darkened by the shadow of the present. There are tempests of sorrow and of anguish which sweep over some hearts, leaving them barren as the desert swept by the burning winds that bring desolation to every living thing they touch. And sometimes the heart soil ever after refuses to bring forth the old sweet fruit of happiness. It is well that the world is turning to-day with eagerness toward those who are preaching the gospel of "cheerfulness," who are trying to teach the despondent and suffering the fact that by force of will, by a persistent effort to see the beauty of the flowers of life, though a storm be hidden in their depths, they may overcome very much of their despondency and suffering. The eyes that are uplifted catch the first glint of sunshine through the clouds, and it is true that the touch of blue, or the glitter of the star, seen through the rift of the blackest cloud, somehow takes something away from the fury of the storm that threatens. So the little bright things of life will make us glad if we will only watch for them, and, finding them, value them at their true worth. But after we have carefully studied, and, in a measure, have mastered this "gospel of cheerfulness," still our greatest need is the "power to suffer" and do it bravely. It isn't so much whether we are called upon to face a danger as it is how we face it. To some natures the capacity for happiness and misery seems wonderfully intensified, says the Burlington Hawkeye, and unless they learn the secret of overcoming by pure force of will, the "ministry of pain" is buried deep under the heavy weight of an exaggerated despondency. Life never meant entire freedom from suffering for any soul, but neither does it mean freedom from happiness. The two join hands when we determine to keep bravely on the lookout for whatever of brightness the Father has waiting us at every turn of the road. After all, why should anything discourage us when we remember hat it is He who "Knows the trials that we bear, The weary longing for a different fate, The daily struggle and the anxious care, He knows, and we can wait." HELPFUL THOUGHTS. Purposing has much to do with prospering. Heaven has a smile for the man who struggles. The inward gives significance to the outward. The better the eye the clearer the vision. The stronger the faith the nobler the courage. Leisure is pleasure to the man who is busy, but to the man who is lazy there is no pleasure in leisure. Profession can never take the place of possession, nor can public pretense answer for personal piety. Truth adds dignity to him who wears it; it is becoming to the lowly and the lofty and is an emblem of the Redeemer. Sincerity, wisdom and good judgment form a strong partnership. Either without the other is likely to go into bankruptcy. The men who make wars ought to fight them. Let czars and autocrats go to the front and there will be fewer wars. It is a strange thing about happiness—it is scarcely ever in sight when we are looking for it, but slips quietly in at the door when one's back is turned. It is a noble ambition go to live that good people will love you; it is a better ambition to live for the good of the people whether they love you or not.—United Presbyterian. Our Work a Part of Our Life Our Work a Part of Our Life. Everything we do, whether by hand or brain, shows a part of our life. We build ourselves into our product. It is wrought into our day's work, whether it be building a fence, digging a ditch, carving a statue, painting a picture, writing a book, fighting a battle or forming a government. Willingly or unwillingly, for good or ill, our works reflect us, illustrate us, live after us. The beautiful home is no more a part of the provident man's life than the beggarly shack of the improvident. Each is a photograph of the man. No man dies when his spirit leaves his body. He lives in what he has done. The singer will be singing his songs through other lips long after he has passed into the songless temple of dust. The mechanic will live in the work of his hands which shelters his loved ones when his hands have lost their cunning. The orator will thrill multitudes as his quoted words fall from the lips of other speakers, though his ears are deaf to his own persuasion. We are more immortal than we think—United Presbyterian. Women of quality about a century ago would not stir without their snuff boxes, beautiful enameled receptacles of perfumed midil rappee.

Take to Whale Meat Newfoundland is developing a new industry, in the form of selling whale meat in place of beef. One of the dealers says that the new meat tastes more like venison than beef, and plans are already being made to ship some to England, where it is expected that it will sell for at least 12 cents a pound.

Inasmuch as a soldier wounded in battle sometimes lacks the strength to call out for help, Dr. Matignon, a French doctor in the Japanese Red Cross service, has invented a whistle which, with a very slight exertion, gives a loud sound. The purification of the water supply of Chicago and the improvement of the drainage system of that city have cut the mortality from typhoid fever down to about one-third of the death list from that disease when the population was little more than half as great as it is now. According to Dr. T. L. Macdonald, the prosperous and strenuous mental life, combined with gorging, explains the frequency of Bright's disease in high official circles at Washington. He says that overeating is the germ of nephritis. Mental activity and physical quiescence aid in its production and carking care and worry are also causative factors. Bright's disease is prone to attack the intellectual and the anxious. Alcohol, he thinks, is not as potent a cause as is generally believed. A rubber film glove has been devised for surgeons. The gloves are "put on" by immersing the hands in a weak solution of gutta percha in benzine or acetone. The purpose of the film is to seal the surfaces of the hands with an insoluble, impervious and practically imperceptible pellicle, which will not admit blood, pus or secretions. Such a protective measure for surgeons is said to be preferable to working with rubber gloves, inasmuch as the sense of touch or pliability of the skin is not impaired in any way. CHANGED HUSBAND. Wife Made Wise Change in Food. Change of diet is the only way to really cure stomach and bowel trouble. A woman says: "My husband had dyspepsia when we were married and had suffered from it for several years. It was almost impossible to find anything he could eat without bad results. "I thought this was largely due to the use of coffee and persuaded him to discontinue it. He did so, and began to drink Postum Food Coffee. The change did him good from the beginning, his digestion improved; he suffered much less from his nervousness, and when he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet he was soon entirely cured. "I began eating Grape-Nuts food, myself, when my baby was two months old, and I don't know what I should have done without it. My appetite was gone, I was weak and nervous and afforded but very little nourishment for the child. The Grape-Nuts food, of which I soon grew very fond, speedily set all this right again, and the baby grew healthful, psyched and beautiful as a mother could wish. He is two years old now and eats Grape-Nuts food himself. I wish every tired young mother knew of the good that Grape Nuts would do her." Nanes given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

GOLDEN TEXT.—"Righteousness exalteh a nation; but sin is a reproach to anyone."—Prov. 14:34. TIME.—Manassas became king B. C. 696 and reigned two years, the throne B. C. 641 and PLACE.—Judah and Babylon. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES—Manasseh's mother: 2 Kings 21:11, Isa. 624. Manasseh's early environment: Isa. 25:15-19; 21:14-16; 30:1, 9:14. Read 2 Chron. 33:3-8 and compare it with Deut. 15:9-14. Reference to idolatry in 2 Kings 23; 1 Sam. 28; Ezek. 8; Zeph. 1 and 3; Jer. 5, 7, and 19. Compare them with the picture in 2 Chron. 33. God's promises regarding the Temple: 2 Sam. 7:10-13; 25-29; 1 Kings 8:29; 9:3-9; Psa. 123, 12. Compare Manasseh's conversion with Paul's: Acts 9:13-20; 22:1-21; 26:4-23. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 1. Twelve years, . . . began to reign:" In Judah a young mau was not of age until he reached 18 years; during the young king's minority regents held the reins of power. "Fifty-five years:" His was the longest reign in Judah. The facts of his continued life and large measure of prosperity were very perplexing to the good people of his day, who knew only of rewards and punishments which can be received in this life. We can rejoice that a patient heavenly Father allowed him time that he might repent. V. 2. "That which was evil:" A set phrase, meaning that this king did not properly support Jehovah-worship. If is also undoubtedly true that, in personal and national life, he was guilty of gross wickedness. "Abomination:" A strong word, but not too strong for the debasing and licentious orgies with which heathen worship was conducted. "Heathen, . . . cast out:" The Canaanas, whom Jehovah had driven from the land in establishing His own people there. V. 3. "Built again:" Rebuilt. "High places, . . . broken down:" It was base indeed for the young man to undo his father's good work. The most popular places of worship were the shrines set up in every village, commonly in an elevated position. Idolatrous rites soon came to be practiced there. "Baalim:" The plural for Baal the name of various deities of the Canaanites. "Groves:" Revised Version. "Asheroth:" Wooden posts or images connected with the worship of the Phoenician female deity. "All the host of heaven:" the sun, moon and stars. This was a new form of idolatrous worship. It had been introduced first by King Ahaz. He probably brought it from Nineveh or Babylon. Vs. 4, 5. "Built altars in the house of the Lord:" Set up altars for the worship of various false gods in the courts of Jehovah's temple at Jerusalem. V. 6. "He:" Manasseh himself led his people in the rites of idolatrous worship. "His children:" His sons. "To pass through fire:" In the worship of the Ammonite god, Molech children were placed in the arms of a great image of the god, which was heated red hot. The place for Molech worship seems to have been in "the valley of Hinnom." V. 7. "A carven image:" The most obnoxious of all these "groves" was the carved image of the goddess which Manasseh set up in the temple court "God had said to David, . . . Solo mon:" See 2 Sam. 7:10-13; 1 King; 8:29; Ps. 132:13, 14. V. 8. "Neither. . . . of the land:" It was God's purpose to establish the people of Israel permanently in the land of Canaan, but His covenant with them was conditional. "So that they will take heed:" Israelites must be obedient to God's commandments in order to maintain the position He had assigned them. V. 9. "Made. . . . err:" Led and encouraged them in the idolatrous practices above mentioned. "Worse than the heathen:" It was far worse for Israelites to do these things than for the heathen nations of whom they learned them, for the Israelites sinned against light and knowledge. V. 10. "The Lord spake:" He spoke by the voice of conscience, and also sent prophets to warn them and denounce their wicked ways. The substance of these warnings is stated in 2 Kings 21:10-15. It is thought that most of the prophecies of Micah were messages to Manasseh. "They would not hearken:" They would not heed the messages, but slew them. V. 11. "The Lord brought upon them:" God permitted His people to suffer this result of their sin. "King of Assyria:" Probably Esarredon. See Persons. "Among the thorns;" Better, "In chains." V. 12. "In affliction . . . he besought the Lord:" The bitterness of the fruit of sin made Manasseh sick of it. V. 13. "Prayed unto Him:" The Apocryphal book, "The Prayer of Manasseh," is a model confession of sin, expression of penitence, and appreciation of the forgiving character of God. Practical Points. V. 2. Let us set for the measurement of our deeds no lower standard than how they appear in the sight of God.—1 Sam. 16:7. V. 6. Where the light of true religion fails to penetrate, we may expect grossest exhibitions of cruelty.—Ps. 74:28. V. 6. God, Who is love, cannot look with complacency upon sin which is destroying His children.—Ronn. 1:18. V. 7. We must take heed that no idols of the heart usurp the place that is due to God alone.—1 John 5:21. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed To Cure or Money Refunded by Your Merchant, so Why Not Try It? Price,50c. NAMES BEST DOCTOR MR. BAYSSON PUBLISHES RESULTS OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE. A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from Miseries of Indigestion. Thousands of sufferers know that the reason why they are irritable and depressed and nervous and sleepless is because their food does not digest, but how to get rid of the difficulty is the puzzling question. Good digestion calls for strong digestive organs, and strength comes from a supply of good rich blood. For this reason Mr. Baysson took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion. "They have been my best doctor," he says. "I was suffering from dyspepsia. The pains in my stomach after meals were almost unbearable. My sleep was very irregular and my complexion was sallow. As the result of using eight boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, about the merits of which I learned from friends in France, I have escaped all these troubles, and am able again to take pleasure in eating." A very simple story, but if it had not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills it might have been a tragic one. When discomfort begins with eating, fills up the intervals between meals with pain, and prevents sleep at night, there certainly cannot be much pleasure in living. A final general breaking down must be merely a question of time. Mr. Joseph Baysson is a native of Aix-les-Bains, France, but now resides at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco, Cal. He is one of a great number who can testify to the remarkable efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the treatment of obstinate disorders of the stomach. If you would get rid of nausea, pain or burning in the stomach, vertigo, nervousness, insomnia, or any of the other miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the weakness of the digestive organs by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are sold by druggists everywhere. Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in forwarding recovery once begun, and a little book, "What to Eat and How to Eat," may be obtained by any one who makes a request for it by writing to the Dr. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady, N.Y. This valuable diet book contains an important chapter on the simplest means for the cure of constipation. Our Changing Language. "Do you think that our country will ever succeed in getting rid of graffers?" "Yes," answered Senator Sorghum. "There will be a time when graffers are unheard of, but it will be due to the change that is constantly going on in our vocabulary.

The Important Point A woman may be convinced in after years that she drew a blank in the matrimonial lottery, but she clings to the need that her husband drew a prize -Chicago Sun. Especially for Women. Champion, Mich., July 24th.—(Special). —A case of especial interest to women is that of Mrs. A. Wellett, wife of a well-known photographer here. It is best given in her own words. "I could not sleep, my feet were cold and my limbs cramped." Mrs. Wellett states: "I had an awful hard pain across my thighs so I got up three or four times in the day. It was very neryous and fearfully despondent. "I had been troubled in this way for five years when I commenced to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and what they caused to come from my kidneys will hardly stand description. "By the time I had finished one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills I was cured. Now I can sleep well, my limbs do not cramp. I do not get up in the night and I feel that I have been in my life. I owe my health to Dodd's Kidney Pills." Women's ills are caused by Diseased Kidneys; that's why Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure them. No, Cordella, an indulgent husband doesn't always come home early. Sometimes he indulges himself too much to get home at all—Chicago Sun. BEAUTIFUL SKIN.

ONCE THERE WAS A MAN Once there was a man who complained that unworthy men were too frequently elected to office, relates the Chicago Tribune, "Do you attend the primaries?" asked his hearers, "I do not," he said. "Then you have no right to kick," they told him. "It's the duty of every good citizen to attend the primaries and see that the best men are chosen as candidates." Whereupon he began attending the primaries. He worked faithfully for the nomination of sober, honest and reputable candidates. But it did no good. The other fellows turned out in greater numbers and outvoted him, and bad men were nominated and elected to office, as before. I felt that he had a right to kick this time, and he complained again. "Do you attend the primaries?" his hearers asked him. "I do." "then you ought to keep your mouth shut," they said. "You are a part of the crowd that nominates bad men, and you are responsible for them." Moral: Do you get off here or wait till the car stops? DISSIMILARITY OF VIEWS. Those of the Optimist and the Pessimist Expressed in Metrical Measure. The Optimist—I love the spring for it does bring fresh breezes from the distant Adriatic. The Pessimist—But the wind east, to say the least, oft gives one pains somewhat rheumatic. The Optimist—When summer's here, I hold dear, for of flowers 'tis a generous gives. The Pessimist—Yet one is not, when it's quite hot, free from tortures of a sluggish liver. The Optimist—Then autumn hints, with wondrous tints, of Dame Nature in the role of weaver. The Pessimist—That sounds well—yet, the truth to tell, it savors strongly of yay fever. The Optimist—The winter white, is my delight—the "beautiful" everywhere doth greet us. The Pessimist—But, alas! there are colds, catarrh, quack doctors, asthma and bronchitis.

THE IDEAL WIFE Mrs. Bessie Ainsley If a woman finds her energies are flagging, and that everything tires her, dark shadows appear under her eyes, her sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams; if she has backache, headaches, bearing-down pains, nervousness, whites, irregularities, or despondency, she should take means to build her system up at once by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This great remedy for women has done more in the way of restoring health to the women of America than all other medicines put together. It is the safeguard of woman's health. Following we publish, by request, a letter from a young wife. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash., writes: "Ever since my child was born I have suffered, as I hope few women ever have, with inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down pains, backache and wretched headaches. It affected my stomach so that I could not enjoy my meals, and half my time was spent in bed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vesetable Compound Succeeds Others Fail. Vegetable Compound. Take no substi tute.

Mull's GrapeTonic (FREE) FOR Hot Weather Dangers STOMACH AND BOWEL TROUBLE No one Grape Tonic is employed. As a Stomach with regu Tonic it is unequalled. and healthy stomach can contract disease.

A physio is also dangerous as it weakens the patient and reduces vitality. Treat the cause with Mull's Grape Tonic. Constipation and its attending lilies are caused by decaying or dying bowels and intestines—Mull's Grape Tonic revives and strengthens the Bowels so that they are enabled to act naturally and eject the poison from the system, everybody should take it during hot weather.

Seven-eighths of the men in this world marry a woman because she is beautiful in their eyes—because she has the qualities which inspire admiration, respect and love. There is a beauty in health which is more attractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition; because of them even thrones have been established and destroyed. What a disappointment, then, to see the fair young wife's beauty fading away before a year passes over her head! A sickly, half- dead-and-alive woman, especially when she is the mother of a family, is a damper to all joyousness in the home, and a drag upon her husband. The cost of a wife's constant illness is a serious drain upon the funds of a household, and too often toring does no good. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— 6 THE HUNTING "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me a well woman, and I feel so grateful that I am glad to write and tell you of my marvelous recovery. It brought me health, new life and vitality." What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will do for every woman who is in poor health and ailing. Its benefits begin when its use begins. It gives strength and vigor from the start, and surely makes sick women well and robust. Remember Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound holds the record for the greatest number of actual cures of woman's ills. This fact is attested to by the thousands of letters from grateful women which are on file in the Pinkham laboratory. Merit alone can produce such results. Women should remember that a cure for all female diseases actually exists, and that cure is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Take no substitute. If you have symptoms you don't understand write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for special advice—it is free and always helpful. SUFFERED ALL HIS LIFE. The endorsement of E. B. McCurdy of Troy, Ohio, proves that the severest forms of Constipation are promptly cured by Mull's Grape Tonic. He says: "I gave your Tonic a thorough cure. It is the only remedy that will cure constipation. I do not believe anyone suffered more therefrom than I, as I had been afflicted with it all my life. For days my bowels would not act and then by the use of my pills I was able to heal. My Stomach and Liver were damaged and I suffered with inward piles, the pains of which would at times raise me off my chaff. I spent many days with various ocular and medicines to no avail. Soon after I started Mull's Grape Tonic on my bowels began to move regularly—the pain left me and my general health built up rapidly, and it as an absolute cure to which I am a living witness." Until Mull's Grape Tonic was put on the American market there was no cure for Constipation. Let us send you a bottle free to-day to show you that it will do all we claim.
