We wish him much success. THE UNITED BROTHERHOOD OF FRIENDSHIP MEETS Vol. XXII. No. 35. DR. D. P. F Of Chicago, Ill., is doing a good work. THE UNITED BROTH OF FR The United Brotherhood of Friendship opened Wednesday, August 2, 1906, in its twelfth triennial session, in Lexington, Ky., with W. A. Gaines, national grand master in the chair. Prior to the opening of the Grand Lodge, the call was read, which call was issued by the national grand master, W. A. Gaines, of Kentucky. There were about seven hundred delegates of the U. B. F. in their seats and ready for business. The women's branch, known as the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, was called to order by National Grand Princess Martha V. Webster, with nearly eight hundred delegates in attendance. After the Grand Lodge had opened, National Grand Master Gaines appointed the following committees on credentials and rules: Committee on Credentials—Fred Hanes, Arkansas; W. T. Blue, Ohio; E. W. Glass, Kentucky; S. H. Darby, Alabama; M. Lester, Tennessee; W. R. Rhodes, Colorado; Samuel Wharton, Indiana; Joseph Nichols, Texas; Missouri; J. B. Maclin, Louisiana; Louis Lytle, Illinois; C. C. Hubbard. Committee on Rules—W. T. Nelson, Ohio; W. D. Tardiff, Kentucky; E. M. Clark, Alabama; A. M. Cockrill, Tennessee; Perry Walker, Indiana; E. W. D. Lethridge, Texas; J. S. Steele, Illinois; J. W. Wheeler, Missouri. The memorial sermon at the church was very impressive. It was in honor of many departed members of the order. Many persons wept when the names of Mrs. Georgia Henderson, past national grand princess, and Brother W. H. Gibson, one of the founders of the order, were mentioned. At the close of this meeting all repaired to Woodlawn park. Welcome Exercises. The Auditorium at Woodland Park, Wednesday evening was the scene of a big gathering of representative people of the Colored race. The local committee which had secured the auditorium had arranged everything satisfactorily. The crowds were readily accommodated and were enabled to hear some of the leading men and women of their race. After the Auditorium meeting nearly 2,000 persons went to the U. B. F. Hall on Limestone street, where a reception was tendered them, which lasted until 2 o'clock in the morning. There were fully 2,000 persons assembled at the beautiful Woodland Park Auditorium, Wednesday night at 8 o'clock to listen to the welcoming exercises. The assembly was called to order by Mr. J. C. Jackson, of the local committee, who introduced Hon. W. A. Galnes, National Grand Master to preside. The juvenile choir of the First Baptist church and a choir of male voices rendered excellent music. A feature of the evening was a solo by Georgia Barclay, of Lexington, which was liberally encoed. Ex-Grand Master C. H. Tandy, on behalf of the city and local lodge and temples, extended a cordial welcome to the delegates and visitors. WRIGH This was responded to by Rev. W. F. Bledsoe, of Texas. The welcome address on behalf of the sisters was made by Mrs. E. B. Jackson, of Lexington, Arliving C. Watson, of Missouri, responded on behalf of the National Grand Temple. Her speech seemed to catch the crowd and she received round after round of applause. The morning session was brief and much business was transacted. It closed at 12 m. Night Session. Thursday night's session began at 7:30 p. m., with W. A. Gaines in the chair. After some heated discussion much important legislation was passed. At this juncture the N. G. M. ordered the secretary to prepare the roll for the election of officers. The names of the state were then called and nominations were in order. Alabama nominated W. A. Gaines, and Missouri nominated W. M. Farmer for N. G. M. The result of the ballot showed W. A. Gaines elected National Grand Master. The Officers. The following are the elected officers: W. A. Gaines, N. G. M., Covington, Ky. S. W. Wiggins, D. N. G. M., Alabama. W. R. Perry, N. G. S., Arkansas. J. S. Guthrie, Alabama; J. C. Jackson, Kentucky; M. T. White, California; F. W. Gross, Texas. Election of Officers. Martha V. Webster, of Louisville, Ky., was unanimously re-elected National Grand Princess. Katie M. Moore of Columbia, Mo., was unanimously re-elected Vice National Grand Princess. Mrs. M. E. Whitelow, of Cincinnati, was elected National Grand Secretary. Mrs. Edmonia Watkins, of Cairo, Ill., National Assistant Grand Secretary. Mrs. M. E. Moore, of Waco, Texas, was re-elected National Grand Treasurer. Ada Smith, of Pine Bluff, Ark., was elected Chaplain. Carrie A. Tuggle, of Alabama, was elected chairman of the Trustee Board. Sylvia E. Robinson, second trustee. Addie Perry, of Indiana, third trustee. The next Triennial meeting will be held at St. Paul, Minn. At the fair grounds is being held the U. B. F. and S. M. T. picnic. Various camps are in attendance and will give exhibition drills. They will also have a drill contest when prizes will be awarded. The Knights of Friendship are the best drilled men among the Colored organizations. Golden Eagle Camp No. 11, Winchester, H. J. Brent, Captain General, declares that his camp came to Lexington to take away the first prize with them: Garrison Camp, of Louisville, of which Captain General W. i. Johnson is in command, made a fine showing on horseback. Pride of Kentucky Camp is also of the opinion that it will carry away the first prize. The Olive Leaf Drill Company, of St. Louis, came likewise to carry off the first prize. A company of ladies from Louisville were present and they came to drill, but when they saw the drill company of St. Louis, they declined to drill. The local committee then declared that there should have been three companies to drill—this was unfair—the first prize should have been given them. Kentucky has always been considered fair, but on this occasion, it was a clear denial of all their boasted fairness. It was the presence of the St. Louis Drill Company, to a great degree, that caused the 12,000 people to remain in the grand stand until 7 o'clock at night. GRAND COURT ORDER OF GALANTHE, M. The Grand Court, Order of lanthe of Missouri, met in its seventh annual session in Kansas Mo., Tuesday, July 24th. The convention was the grandeur of the annuals of its history. The r re of courts was 47, and 12 of those organized during the past year. The reports from the G. W. C. santa M. Williams, and officers, of the order to be in a most prosper condition and its financial stand second to none. The appreciative the work was highly exemplifie- The local committee will never wipe out that stain until they forward the $50 to Mrs. Mary Monroe, Captain of the Olive Leaf Drill Company, St Louis, Mo., and thus the National Grand Lodge and Temple is now a thing of the past. ITEMS FROM THE NATIONAL GRAND SECRETARY, AT LEXINGTON, KY. Three thousand letters were written in three years. We ask this question: To whom? We noticed in the National Grand Lodge report that he had some correspondence with a temple in St. Louis. We ask, "What right had he to open such a correspondence in St. Louis. We have a Grand Secretary. Twenty dollars per month for office expenses and hire and yet the National Grand Lodge is charged up for every pastage stamp. What is this sundries? Will some one tell us? Not according with Noah Webster's dictionary, but according to what the National Grand Lodge's Secretary says: 3,000 letters written the report says. Stamps, 10, 40, 50 1.00. Postal cards, 10c, 30c, 60c. Telegram, 30c, 45c, 50c. What is this somethings? Will someone tell us? A few missions and Illinois will long remember the Waterloo met in Lexington, Ky. Who made the rates for the U. B. F. and S. M. T.? Its correspondence doesn't bear him out. Why was not rates made from Chicago and Indianapolis, Ind.? Will some one answer? Missouri cast 113 votes. Was that the wishes of the lodge? Please answer. C. H. Tandy, J. W. Wheeler, got the support of Ala, Ark, Fla., and other good men, and we won out. So you see, I told you so. Our contemporary, Mr. Theo Bougham, of Victoria, Texas, will be much wiser and older when he meets the next National Grand Lodge. PUT OUT OF BUSINESS Our beloved friend and brother, and our able co-worker, B. K. Bruce, was put out of business by the delegates of the National Grand Lodge at Lexington, Ky. The stench of that able and unequal report added a great deal in doing the work. Oh, yes. That able presiding officer, Past Grand Master E. W. Marshall was up to date. While in Lexington, Ky., the St. Louis delegates enjoyed it themselves in a manner that was very pleasant to others. They were in hacks, carrages, buggies and wagonettes as their were no tallyhies in the city. Mr. C. H. Wheeler and J. W. Wheeler were entertained by their sister and cousin in the most hospitable manner in the home of our childhood, fifty years ago. Lexington has the largest hall that is now built by our people. The St. Louis True Reform hall is not in it. Mr. Ballard, the druggist, has as large and fine a drug store as there is in the city. Dr. Mize, the oculist, was quite a conspicuous figure in the drug store and many of the delegates knew him. E. W. Marshall, Past Grand Master, presided during the election. He may not be as fine a parliamentarian as the gifted Willis N. Brent, of Missouri, but he never reversed his ruling. If you don't believe that, ask the other fellow that he ruled on. Even B. K. Bruce said he understands his business. The ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Is Recognized As The Leading Afro-American Paper Of The West. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Troubles. GRAND COURT ORDER OF CALANTHE, MEET The Grand Court, Order of Calanthe of Missouri, met in its seventeenth annual session in Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday, July 24th. The convention was the grandest in the annuals of its history. The roster of courts was 47, and 12 of those were organized during the past year. The reports from the G. W. C., Arsania M. Williams, and officers, show the order to be in a most prosperous condition and its financial standing is second to none. The appreciation of the work was highly exemplified by the presentation of a beautiful gold ring to the G. W. C., with a setting of precious pearls for her earnest efforts and work done during her term. The Grand Court had the honor with them for honored guest the Supreme Patriarch, S. W. Stacks. Supreme Worthy Counsellor S. W. Green. Supreme Inspectatrix, Jessie D. Robinson. Supreme Registrar of Deeds, C. A. Curl. The greetings of the Grand Court of Missouri was extended to the Grand Court of Kansas through the medium of Mrs. Jessie D. Robinson and Mrs. C. A. Curl and was returned by a committee of three from Kansas City, Kas, headed by the G. W. R., Mrs. M. E. Miller. The feeling manifested between these two grand bodies was a grand one. They met as one great sisterhood of Calanthe. Echoes from the press tell us that the parade on Thursday was a commendable one and comprised the representative people and the brain of the state of Missouri. The Grand Court was called from labor to ease to enjoy a serenade given in honor of the O. O. C., by the St. Louis band, conducted by Sir. Turner. An invitation was accepted from Col. Butler, of St. Louis, and the Grand Court went in a body to visit Camp Butler and was received with military honors. The officers elected for the ensuing term are as follows: G. W. C.—Arsania M. Williams. G. W. Ass't. Con.—Lucy Williams. G. W. Herald—Georgia Robinson. G. W. Protector—Mary Marshall. G. W. Lecturer—Rebecca B. Burris. G. W. Med. Dir.—Dr. L. P. Stafford. Beneficiary Board—Bertha T. Buckner, Jennie Irving, Mary L. Dolen. Supreme Representatives—Arsania M. Williams, Janie L. Combs, Mary L. Rolen. Trustees—Jessie D. Robinson, Martha Pried, Ida M. Smith. The encouraging remarks made by the Supreme Patriarch, S. W. Starks, of West Virginia, to the Grand Court in general and individual compliment made to the G. W. C., Miss Arsania M. Williams, as the most brilliant presider and woman gave evidence that the O. O. C., of Missouri, had not made a mistake in its choice and her re-election was unanimously assured. The flag presented to the First Regiment of Misouri by the P. W. C.'s of St. Louis and Courts in the state, was a conspicuous feature in the parade on Thursday. .. LAWN PARTY AT 3957 FINNEY. The lawn party given last Wednesday night by the three councils of the A. U. K. and D. of A. was a grand success. Mr. and Mrs. Cole and their lovely daughter did all in their power to make all feel at home. Many persons were there. Mrs. S. A. Collins and Mrs. Ford were on deck. We secured a lady to get the names, which she did, but we lost them. We saw the dashing Miss Estelle Hamilton, of 4127 Fairfax, but Lord Overton was not present. I wondered where he was. Perhaps we will get a better account of the affair next week. We did see Mrs. A. M. Muldro, the splendid organizer of the A. U. K. & D. of A.

Special to the Palladium, St. Louis. Bishop A. Mack, D. D., of Kansas City, Mo., the noted evangelist, has just closed a very successful camp meeting six miles southwest of Shelbina, Mo. Very large crowds of both white and Colored attended this meeting; the ground was covered with buggies. He preached some very able WM. H. OWNES After many months of confinement to his room, Mr. William H. Ownes died last Monday at the age of 51 years. He leaves two sons—William H. Ownes, Jr., and Arthur G. Ownes—and many friends to mourn his loss. Years ago Mr. Ownes was a power in politics in St. Louis of the old school, but for more than ten years he has taken no part in politics. We deeply sympathize with those who mourn his loss. His two sons are employed in the post office as letter carriers. Spent a Few Days at Excelsior Springs Rev. W. D.

McDowell, who has a number of houses on Hickory street, is having his house painted. The workmen are all Colored painters.

Randall and wife of the Randall & Wells Gents Furnishing 2230 Market street, made a flying trip to Southern Illinois on the 29th, looking after his farming interest. Mr. Randall has one of the finest little farms in this section. He is also visiting his mother, Mrs. Caroline Randall, and sister, Mrs. Fred Douglass, who has been very sick with fever. She seemed to be much relieved on their arrival, and we trust she will soon recover, being one of the leaders in social and church functions. Mr. Douglass is a prosperous farmer of this place, owning 100 acres of farming land and operating a large threshing machine and saw mill. This is a fine country for farming and also quite a business section. Mr. Douglass is also prominent in church and social circles, being District Deputy Grand Master of the 9th District of Grand Lodge of Illinois and also Grand Joshua of the Grand Court of Heronies of Jericho of Illinois.

BUY SILVER GOVERNMENT WILL ENTER THE MARKET FOR 100,000 OUNCES PER WEEK. FIRST TIME IN 13 YEARS The Silver Bullion In the Treasury Exhausted, and the Governmett Must Meet the Demand For Subsidiary Coin. Washington. — For the first time for 13 years the government has announced its purpose to purchase silver for coinage purposes. Tenders are invited at the office of the director of the mint in this city on Wednesday, the 15th instant, up to 1 o'clock p. m., and every Wednesday thereafter until further notice. These tenders are to be for delivery at the Philadelphia, New Orleans or Denver mints, settlement to be on the New York basis of bullion, guaranteed 999 fine. The treasury reserves the right to reject all tenders, or accept such part of any tender as may suit its convenience. It is understood that, anticipating that its reappearance as a purchaser might temporarily disturb the market unduly, the treasury has obtained control of considerable amounts for future delivery, so that it is in position to drop out of the market for several months if desirable. 100,000 Ounces Per Week. 100,000 Ounces Per Week. The average requirements of the treasury throughout the year will probably not exceed 100,000 ounces per week, and it will be the policy of the department, while keeping a reasonable amount on hand, to so distribute its purchases throughout the year that its demands will be uiform and not an element of uncertainty in the market. From the resumption of specie payments in 1879 down to the year 1900 the constant increase in the stock of subsidiary coin required by the growing population and trade of the country was supplied by the recoinage of old and uncurrent subsidiary coins which accumulated in the treasury under the resumption act. This stock was running low, and authority was granted in the monetary act of March 14 to the secretary of the treasury to divert bullion, purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, for the coinage of silver dollars to the coinage of subsidiary pieces. Under this authority about $33,000,000 has been coined since 1900. Perfectly Legal to Purchase Silver. The stock of the treasury had become so low, in fact exhausted, that it was apparent, according to the department, that the demands of a constantly enlarging trade could not be met without additional coinage. The secretary of the treasury was in doubt whether existing statutes authorized him to buy bullion for this purpose, and, moreover, was of the opinion that it would be a better policy to meet future demands for subsidiary coin by the recoinage of silver dollars in the treasury, and so recommended to congress. Congress, however, having failed to act upon his recommendation, Secretary Shaw requested an opinion from the attorney general as to his authority to purchase bullion for this purpose under existing law, and he returned a favorable reply, based on Section 3520 of the Revised Statutes. The policy now announced was accordingly determined upon. Silver Purchases In the Past. From January, 1875, to February, 1878, the government purchased 31,603,905 fine ounces of silver, cost $37,571,148 in gold, average per fine ounce...$1.188 Under Bland-Allison act, 291.272,018 fine ounces were purchaser, cost $308,279,260, or an average price of .....$1.058 Under the Sherman act, 168,674.682 fine ounces purchased, at a cost of $153,931,602, or an average cost of .....$0.924 The last purchase under the Sherman act, October 30, 1893, was at ..... $ 0.72 From that date until the present the government has been out of the market for the purchase of silver, except as the agent of the Philippine government in the purchase of a little over 13,500,000 ounces, costing $7,367,995, or an average of $0.54½. Lowest Price Silver Has Touched. The lowest price for silver was touned on December 3, 1902, when the price on the London market was equivalent to $0.478 per fine ounce; the average for last year on the London market was 61 cents per ounce, and for the month of July last, 65 cents per ounce. Bryan Will Rest at Deer Park, Md. After the Reception. Grafton, W. Va. — Jonh T. McGraw, of the national democratic committee for West Virginia, and a member of the general committee for the reception to be accorded Wm. Jennings Bryan, has received a letter from Mr. Bryan, in which he accepts Mr. McGraw's invitation to be his guest for several days at his summer cottage at Deer Park, Md. Recount of Votes in St. Louis. St. Louis—The recount of the ballots cast in the spring election of 1905, just finished in the office of the board of election commissioners, according to unofficial announcements, shows that John W. Dunn, republican candidate for city treasurer, and Solomon Boehm, republican candidate for city councilman, were elected over James M. Franciscus and Mark Ewing, their democratic opponents. If the report is correct, it will result in the unseating of Franciscus and Ewing, who were installed after the municipal election. It is thought that other official positions will be disturbed. It is said that the recount showed a gain for some of the democratic office-holders. Shot His Wife at Picnic. Hartsville—Amid a throng of hundreds of people who were attending a picnic held by negroes here, Mike McCarty shot and fatally wounded his wife, Florence McCarty, and also shot Jeff Franklin, a farmer. McCarty fired three shots, all of which were aimed at his wife, all taking effect in her arms and body, the third striking Franklin in the abdomen. All the parties are white. Trial of Alleged Mob Leaders. Springfield—There will be 50 state and 100 or more witnesses for the defense in the trial of the alleged mob leaders which has begun. Among those who will be heard on the stand are some of the most prominent business and professional men in the city, and it is known that a portion of the testimony to be offered by the state will be of a most sensational character. Kansas City's New Salcon Ordinance. Kansas City—The ordinance raising saloon licenses from $250 to $500, and limiting the number of saloons, was passed by the lower house of the city council, and will become effective when signed by the mayor. The ordinance provides that no new licenses be granted until the city attains a population of 400,000 people. Negro Dies on Gallows. Mount Vernon—Edward Bateman, a young negro, was legally hanged here for attacking Miss Myrtle Digby, a white girl, at Aurora last February. Appeals to Gov. Folk for clemency met no favorable response. Bateman protested his innocence on the scaffold. Miners and Operators Investigate. Bevier—The general investigation committee of the U. M. W. of A. and coal operators and their agents, representing this and the Novinger coal field, are here, and will stay for some time, investigating conditions of the mines. Girl Impaled on Fence. St. Louis—Silda Erler, aged 7, either fell or was frightened into jumping from a second-story window at the home of her foster parents, and was impaled on the pickets of a fence. Her recovery is doubtful. The police are investigating. Mr. Root at Kansase City. Kansas City—Secretary of State Ellihu Root has accepted an invitation to speak before the Transmississippi congress, which meets in this city on November 20 to 23. Mr. Root's topic will be, "American Trade With Sister Latin Republics." Foul Play Suspected. Flat River—Foul play is suspected in the death of Jack Thomure, of Farmington, who was struck by a trolley car on the St. Francois county electric railway while lying on the track two miles east of here, at night. Five Years Apart. Moberly—Jacob Beeler tried to commit suicide in a tank pond north of this city, and died later.

To Introduce We Will Sell You a Sample Pair for Only 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 recognise 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. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west.

Now is the day the linen costume, simple and even severe for morning general wear, ornate and rich in embroidery or lace, or both, for more "dressy" occasions, the heavy linens being used for the former and either the thin, medium or heavy grades for the latter. For the former, the short or long coat, the former coming well below the waist line and the latter the Eton, bolero or princess, are the approved models. Ponges of all sorts, Rajahs of the imported variety, and other sorts of these shantung or pongee weaves are also much in evidence, and are made up in all sorts of ways, as the case may seem to require. Many of them are made up in Eton and boleros, with much trimming, and others, especially the Rajahs, are made up in coat suits, that are as cool and as light in weight as possible for traveling, shopping and hackabout wear. These can be handled like a linen pocket handkerchief, and a day of wet or dirt followed by a visit to the tub brings them out the same as before. They are much lighter in weight than the heavy linens, and also much cooler, as they have no "dressing." The linens, however, launder lighter in weight, have more open work, and therefore are much cooler when the "dressing" is washed out of them. In the silk materials for the tub the natural hue, the ecu, is by long odds A NEAT INITIAL LETTER. A Kind of Initial That Is Easily Made, And Does Well for Blankets, Sheets, Etc. Here is a letter suitable for marking house linen, blankets, etc. It may be worked with ingrain cotton, washing silk, or wool.

White looks cooler, but it is by no means so suitable for wear in the city as the natural or ecru linens, whether in cream or brown tones, but in the country, on greensward, nothing looks so cool and smart as the pure white. EXCESSIVE PERSPIRATION Some Advice About Cleanliness and the Care of the Skin in Hot Weather. For excessive perspiration in hot weather, which is sometimes caused by a depleted condition of the system, the cold bath should always be taken, followed by the use of a little ammonia for the armpits, the feet, etc. Then a cloth wet with pure alcohol passed over the body, and a liberal use of powdered starch, will prove of great help. To prepare the starch, crush it fine, wet with any good cologne and set in the sun to dry; fill flannel bags and use freely; it will be found fine for children after sponging them off in hot weather. The perfume prevents the starch from souring, but a good quality should always be used. The woman that wishes to be both comfortable and sensible during the hot term, will take reasonable precautions against ruining her skin by exposure, and also by keeping it refreshed and stimulated against the debilitating effects of the season. She will wear gloves and long sleeves and a veil in the daytime, that she may show pretty hands and arms and fresh, rosy face when the sun's heat has passed. A. F. and A.

In the issue of August 3rd, this little two by four sheet, called a newspaper, is still on the war path. He made a savage attack upon the administration—he attempted to play to the rabble, then with the yenom of a reptile, he strikes at the Grand Mas- ter and the Grand Secretary; again he strikes at the Grand Officers and says they are making every possible effort to be re-elected on some constitutional limit. This at once shows the deep seated evil that is in the man Logan. He pays Dr. J. T. Castons and Dr. O. €. Queen a high compliment, but al- most in the same breath, throws a dag: ger into Prof. Coleman, of Columbia, Mo. We doubt very much whether there is a principal in the state of Missour! that does not feel a fear when this man makes his appearance in their schools. He is known to wander from school to school like the Devil, seeking whom he may displace from thelr school. In our judgment, the present administration has done well, with perhaps two exceptions, and we be- lieve if they have done well, they should be re-elected and the delegates to the Grand Lodge ought to remem: ber who this man Logan is. Large armies move slowly, so has the Grand Officers of the State of Mis- sourl done; every time they moved they done something for the order. So Jet well enough alone. U. B. F, NATIONAL GRAND LODGE. Never in the history of any order in this world, was there a more flagrant disregard of the manner and assumed authority of a Grand Secretary as there was made for the past three years in our National Grand Seeretary’s office. Without any law or authority, over $1,- 300 was used at the will and pleasure of the one in charge of that office. The report of the National Grand Secretary did not close the eyes of the delegates of that National Grand Lodge. 5 Mr. G. W. Hammond, of 1532 South ‘Twenty-first street, is again connect- ed with the Palladium. He is one of the best agents we ever had. So what he does for the Paliadium is 0.

Wednesday evening was a gala occa sion at Orpheus Academy. By invita. tion, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias for the state of Missouri, A. W. Lloyd, Gen. Wm. H. Robinson and staff, and Columbia Division No. 4, Kattle Ax corps of the Uniform Rank of the order, Capt. Robert Cooper com- manding, were the guests of honor. At 10 o'clock sharp, handsomely uni- formed, the corps marched into the hall, amid the aplause of the large company that had assembled to do them honor. For about ten minutes the corps went through the military evolution in which they are so pro- ficient, after which they were disband- ed, and mingled .with their friends, who stood ready to extend to them their congratulations and praise. The reception was held in honor of the brilliant victory achieved by the corps in the competitive drill at Kansas City a few days ago, during the sessions of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias. The knights expressed themselves as delighted with the reception that they received, and were full of commendation for the Academy, particularizing the perfect order and decorum that prevailed, the excellence of the music furnished and the general air of culture and refine- ment that characterized the institu- tens SEVEN POINTERS FOR THE READ ING AND ADVERTISING PUBLIC.

CARRIAGES FURNISHED FOR ALL OCCASIONS. PROVIDENCE BAPTIST NOTES. are both surprised and delighted te e the progress of Providence Bap- 1 hureh. Rev. Dr. J. L. Griffin, the 0 i evangelist, of Rochester, N. Y., preached to the edification and joy of grcal audiences for ten night's at this church, He is, indeed, a great pheach- ‘» our own knowledge a great host of splendid men and women united 1 the chureh, and one peculiar fear. of the meeting we notice-that most «i them were grown peopte that will of substantial help to the church. Sunday, during the entire day, great crowds poured Into this church, and at the evening service, the church could not near seat the people, and great hosts were turned away for want of room. We observed an interesting feature of the evening service that Italians, Caucasians and Negroes began to crowd the church sometime before the preaching began, and the yard fronting on Jefferson avenue was filled with white people trying to get a glimpse of the preacher as he stirred the people with his eloquence. A SIN OLN SL AOUS PAID Women who put on two faces ought to be in h—. They act the part of a lady outdoors. At night they smoke cigars and cigarettes like the black- guard. Young girls who have got their hearts set on Chicago had better get into better things, for there is noth- ing in it. Will our subscribers please pay us. We do not mean those who pay, but those who put us off from time to time. The Colored people of St. Louis are learning to patronize Colored business men. They show it by the liberal manner in whica they are supporting the new gents’ furnishing store ot Randall & Wells, at 2230 Market street. Among those who are worthy of special mention are the Johnson Bros. and Mra, Adams, of 2225 Wal- nut street; Mr, Nelson Pope, of 2223 Market street, and many others that we could mention. We have heard it said that Colored people will not pat- ronize a Colored man in business, but the way they are trading with Randall & Wells proves that tae statement is unfounded. SPECIAL NOTICE.

Repeal of the 15th Amendment . -Than Be King of England. New Orleans, Aug. 5.—An appeal by Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi to white voters to select state legislators who will yote to stop granting appropria- tions for the education of negro chil- dren is reported from Brook Haven, Miss., where the governor addressed a | Gov. Vardaman. farmers’ meeting. Of the negro question of Washington, D. C., Gov. Vardaman said there is need of a “jim Crow” law, reserving certain seats for negroes in that city. He said southern congressmen do not pro- pose the enactment of such a law, be- cause they are afraid of criticism. He declared that if chosen to represent ‘Mississippi in tlfe senate he would of- fer such a bill at least once a year. He said that he would be prouder of being instrumental in securing the re- peal of the Fifteenth amendment than to wield the sceptre of King Edward the Seventh of England. ‘The Wabash has as fine cars and accommodations as any road in the country, Their time is fast, and no fault can be found otherwise.

Legislature, 204 9th street, N. E., Washington, D. C., writes: "You can use my name and word at all times for Peruna as a medicine and tonic unequaled. I have tried it for a stubborn cold and badly run down system. I tried all sorts of other medicines and paid several expensive doctor bills.

"Postum has done a world of good for me," writes an ills. man. "I've had indigestion nearly all my life but never dreamed coffee was the cause of my trouble until last Spring I got so bad I was in misery all the time. "A coffee drinker for 30 years, it irritated my stomach and nerves, yet I was just crazy for it. After drinking it with my meals, I would leave the table, go out and lose my meal and the coffee too. Then I'd be as hungry as ever. "A friend advised me to quit coffee and use Postum—said it cured him. Since taking his advice I retain my food and get all the good out of it, and don't have those awful hungry spells. "I changed from coffee to Postm without any trouble whatever, felt better from the first day I drank it. I am well now and give the credit to Postm." Name given by Postm Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pks. "There's a reason." Fact for Little and Fancy People The King's Orders. But They Were Not Executed Because the Prince Held His Nerve Until Crisis Was Passed. A story is told of one of the Moorish princes of Granada, which is well worth noting, showing as it does, the great value of coolness and self-control in trying circumstances. When Mahommed the Sixth usurped the throne of Granada, he set aside his elder brother Yousuf, the rightful heir to the throne, so that the kingdom might be secure to his own children. He caused Prince Yousuf to be imprisoned in the castle of Shalobanya, where he remained for the ten years of his brother's reign, Mahommed intending, when he felt his health falling, to have his brother assassinated. The unfortunate prince, though brave and courageous to the last degree, was forced to submit to his brother's arbitrary will, knowing that rebellion would be in vain. He was a man of commanding presence, courteous to all about him, and of so winning and gracious a manner that he gained the love and fealty of his entire household, any one of whom would gladly have risked life in his cause. This was especially true of the alcayde of Shalobanya, who was his devoted friend. Prince Yousuf passed the weary days of his captivity the best he could, his favorite recreations being the game of chess, of which he was a passionate PALMSTEAD lover; and the perusal of the exciting literature of the day. In the early part of the fifteenth century, knight errantry was rife. The young Spanish nobles vied with each other in proving their prowess in arms, incited by the reading of such wonderful romances as "Adventures of Amadis di Gaul," a book that turned The Magic Bottle. How You Can Make It Appear That You Are Pouring Through the Bottom of the Bottle. Here is a trick that will prove a puzzle to those who are not pretty well up in physics. Take an ordinary dinner plate, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, and fill it with water, then a small empty bottle, and assure the spectators that you are wizard enough to pour water through the solid bottom of the lat- Pass the bottle around, that all may see it perfectly empty and dry, then, having thrust a stick into it and held it to the fire until it it is very hot—too hot to hold in the bare hands—stand it, mouth downward, in the plate of water. At the same time pour a tablespoonful of water on the upturned bottom, as if you were beginning to fill it in that way. Each time you do this the bottle A Clever Trick. A Clever Trick. The accompanying picture shows this little feat better than any words could do. Place a chair on the floor, front downward, in such a way that the legs are horizontal and the back is uppermost. Get one of your boy friends to kneel on the lower back bar of the chair and take up with his lips a piece of candy placed on the back of the top bar. The picture shows you his position, just as he is about to make the attempt. It is not unlikely that the boy will think you have set a trap for him; that you want to give him a "header" on to the floor, but you can overcome his reluctance by first doing the thing yourself. All that is necessary is for you to keep the center of gravity back of the chair seat, and this you can do by crouching very carefully. Perhaps, suggests the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, it might be as well for you to practice for a while in private, and the heads of half the Spanish youth, a type that Cervantes has immortalized in Don Quixote. The fascination of chess, however, rivaled those of the tournament with the knights of Spain, and many an hour was beguiled over the game by Prince Yousuf and the faithful alcayde. They were seated thus, one day, both intent upon the game. Yousuf for the time completely forgetting the sword that was always hanging over his head. He was losing slowly but surely, his adversary's knight and castle were steadily bearing down upon his king, when a page hastily entered the room and informed the alcayde that a messenger was without, desiring to see him upon an urgent matter of state. "Tell him to wait until our game of chess is finished," said the prince. But the page made an imploring gesture to the alcayde, which brought the latter instantly to his feet, and he hastened out to meet the messenger, who silently and gravely handed him a sealed note from the king. Hastily tearing it open, the alcayde glanced over the contents, his cheek blanching as he did so. With tootling steps he reentered the room, and the prince, shocked at his pallor, explained: "My friend, what is it trouble? Thou lookest as though thou hast just received thy death warrant! Oh," he added, jokingly, "perchance the king, my most loving brother, demands my head! Speak! Is it so?" For answer the alcayde handed him the letter, but his hand trembled so that the paper fluttered to the floor. Yousuf, stooping, coolly picked it up, and read at a glance the following words: "My servant, when thou receivest this letter thou shalt immediately take the life of my brother Yousuf and send me his head by my trusty messenger." The eyes of the brave prince never quailed, nor did his voice falter as he said quietly to the page: "Bid the king's messenger wait until our game is ended; it will be but a few moments now, for I am losing rapidly; fate is against me on every side." They resealed themselves at the board, but the alcyde played wildly. It was an easy matter for the prince to regain his lost advantage, and he was just giving checkmate when in the distance was heard the clatter of horses' hoofs. Nearer and nearer they came, and soon two caballeros from Granada, armed cap-a-pie, covered with dust, and in the maddest haste, came dashing into the courtyard at full speed. "The king is dead! Long live the king! Long live our good king Yousoff!" The lesson for children to learn from this story is of course obvious. Never give up hope in the face of misfortune. —Chicago Daily News.

The recent decease of Sir George Williams has suggested to many of his admirers the desirability of perpetuating his honored memory in some outward and tangible way. It has, therefore, been decided to erect at a cost of £100,000 a suitable building as the central home of the Young Men's Christian association in the metropolis. According to the London correspondent of the Record of Christian Work the locality will be in the neighborhood of the Strand, not far from where the historic Exeter hall, the present home of the Y. M. C. A., has stood for nearly 80 years. More and more it has been felt that Exeter hall is not adequate to the demands made upon it by the modern conditions under which the work among young men is carried on. It is hoped that, if responses to the appeal for funds to erect the new building are as quick and as generous as they ought to be, it may be begun and completed within two years. What the future of Exeter hall will be when the Y. M. C. A. has left it, is difficult to say. But there is some sort of an obligation that the venerable place shall not be put to uses inconsistent with the object for which it was originally erected—"to be a public building in which the anniversary meetings of religious and charitable societies may be held." There is no place in all London whose walls, had they but tongues and voices, could tell of such great speeches, made by such great men, on behalf of the many-sided progress of the kingdom of God. I think it is Macaulay (or is it Carlyle?) who somewhere speaks scornfully of "the bray of Exeter hall." But from the Christian point of view Exeter hall has represented not the asinine, but the angelic. GENEROUS OFFERINGS What the Church of England Has Given for Missions During Last Year. Although the Church of England is established by law, and supposedly maintained by rates, it contributes to its own support and to benevolence somewhat more than the sum it receives from the state. The tables for the last year show that its members have given about $40,000,000 to home support and foreign missions. The year book tells us that the rates and endowments supply from $35,000,000 to $38,000,000 annually. As their membership of the Established church is reported by Mr. Evans, the expert in such matters, at 7,211,183, it is manifest that it costs about $11 per capita to carry on the church and its benevolences, of which sum the members voluntarily contribute one-half or a little more. It costs American Presbyterians something over $18 per capita to carry on their work, of which sum they contribute all, beside supporting most of the undenominational charities in the union. The Anglicans give about $3,860,000 to foreign and $3,270,000 to home missions, of one dollar per member for both, which is not quite one-half the per capita contributed by the Presbyterians in America. The Anglican Sunday schools cost $900,000 a year. The Establishment expended $7,000,000 in new churches, a remarkable record when we consider that England has been called "over-churched." "NOT-YET-BELIEVERS." Term Which the Bishop of Kyota Uses Instead of the Word Heathen. Rev. S. C. Partridge, bishop of Kyoto, in the Spirit of Missions writes thus: "Having given the morning to the Christians, we gave the evening to the Mishinsa—the 'not-yet-believers'—our courteous term, always used for the 'heathen'. It is much superior, even to the term 'unbelievers', or 'non-believers', because it does not accuse them of any opposition to the faith, but rather implies an interest in it which a further study will surely deepen." And in a note he explains: "A good deal of criticism has been passed at home, and some of it justly on those who speak of the Japanese as 'heathen.' We, in the church missions are very careful to avoid this, by alluding to those outside the fold in some such term as the above. St. Paul's 'Gentlemen of Athens' states a principle always to be remembered." Increases Its Missionary Offering Increases Its Missionary Offering. Not many of our churches are able to register a more substantial development at every point than the Protestant Episcopal. Within eight years the gifts for missions have increased from $402,541 to $766,965 (of the women's auxiliaries from $82,000 to over $151,000); the missionaries from 101 to 180, the confirmations in the field from 436 to 1,083; and the total communicants from 3,896 to 9,528. Pledge 1,000 Missionaries Yearly. The Volunteer Students' convention at Nashville declared by resolution that 1,000 new missionaries should be sent out every year until the waste places are occupied. The church is dreaming great dreams, and only those who thus dream, accomplish great deeds. Shirt Bosoms, Collars and Cuffs LAUNDFRED WITH Defiance Starch never crack nor become brittle.

Defiance Starch Company, Omaha, Neb. BOY'S TERRIBLE ECZEMA. Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts —Hands Pinned Down—Miraculous Cure by Cuticura. "When my little boy was six months old, he had eczema. The sores extended so quickly over the whole body that we at once called in the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our despair we went to a third one. Matters became so bad that he had regular holes in his cheeks, large enough to put a finger into. The food had to be given with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as a finger, and whenever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest and back, in short the whole body was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed, we had to pin his hands down; otherwise he would scratch his face and make an open sore. I think his face must have itched most fearfully. "We finally thought nothing could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea air might cure him, otherwise he was to be put under good medical care there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided improvement. Just as quickly as the sickness had appeared it also began to disappear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white as never before. F.

According to Harper's Weekly, Marshall P. Wilder tells of a young man in Wilkesbarre who had aspirations to the hand of a daughter of one of the wealthiest men in that place. Recently the hopeful one had an interview with the father for the purpose of laying the matter before him, "Well," growled the old man, "what I most desire to know is, what preparation have you made for the future?" "Oh," exclaimed the suitor, in a confident and obliging tone, "I am a Presbyterian; but, if that denomination doesn't meet with your approval, I am quite willing to change." India's Cotton Crop. The cotton crop of India was larger last year, 1905, than the general average. About 20,000,000 acres were planted in cotton and the yield was about 3,500,000 bales. During the year there were exported from India to other countries over 2,125,000 bales of raw cotton at a value of over $81,000,000, the four countries, Japan, Germany, Belgium and Italy, in the order named, being the largest purchasers, they together buying nearly 1,500,000 bales of Indian cotton, while Japan alone took nearly 500,000 bales.

ITS MERIT IS PROVED RECORD OF A GREAT MEDICINE A Prominent Cincinnati Woman Tells How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Completely Cured Her. The great good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, and thinking people generally. Mrs. Sara Wilson The following letter is only one of many thousands which are on file in the Pinkham office, and go to prove beyond question that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound must be a remedy of great merit, otherwise it could not produce such marvelous results among sick and ailing women. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "About nine months ago I was a great sufferer with female trouble, which caused me severe pain, extreme nervousness and frightened me. I tried to relieve me. I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and within a short time felt better, and after taking five bottles of it I was entirely cured. I therefore heartily recommend your Compound as a splendid female tonic. It makes the monthly periods regular and without pain; and when a blessing comes, the women fail to help you. I am pleased to recommend it to all suffering women." Mrs. Sara Wilson, 31 East 3d Street, Cincinnati, Ohio. If you have suppressed or painful periods, weakness of the stomach, indigestion, bloating, pelvic catarrh, nervous prostration, dizziness, faintness, "don't-care" and "want-to-be-alone" feeling, excitability, backache or the blues, these are sure indications of female weakness, or some derangement of the organs. In such cases there is one tried and true remedy —Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. WILL Widen Kiel Canal. The ever-increasing dimensions of war vessels has led the German government to conclude to widen the Klei canal from 60 to 130 feet, and the width at the surface from 130 feet to 350 feet. The proposed improvements, it is estimated, will cost nearly $50,000,000. Nearly $400,000 is to be expended by the Illinois Central Railroad for new passenger train equipment. The outlay which has just been authorized by the Board of Directors covers the purchase of the following cars: Twenty-five coaches and chair cars, ten baggage cars and ten mail cars. All of the new equipment will be of the latest design and finest finish. CURIOS AND ODDITIES. Only one woman in 100 insures her life. Ellen Terry is passionately fond of cats.

A Mass. physician has found a cure for constipation in children—citing fifteen cases—by feeding them Grape-Nuts. "Some time ago," he writes, "I became interested in your food, Grape-Nuts, as a cure for constipation in children. Having tried it in my own family, I have advised it in fifteen cases in which all suffered with constipation more or less severe. The result has been absolute relief in all. "I write this that other children may be benefited." How much better it is thus to bring about a healthy action in the bowels of growing children by natural means, than to feed them with improper food, requiring some kind of cathartic at intervals to overcome constipation Grape-Nuts gives energy to the entire nervous system including the nerves that cause the natural contraction and relaxation of the bowel muscles, that propel the food mass along. It is predigested also, and the blood easily absorbs the food as it goes through the body, storing up vitality and force for the functions of all the organs. Children especially, should get the right start as to habits of living. They should grow into bright, strong, cheerful men and women. Grape-Nuts solve the question of the start; a wholesome appetite will do the rest. Children's teeth are benefited by chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dentist will tell you that a certain amount of exercise in chewing firm food, is necessary to grow strong, beautiful teeth. Teeth need exercise just the same as muscles, if they are to grow strong and firm as nature intended. GrapeNuts gives the exercise and also gives material from which good teeth are made.

Spent all he had in seeking pleasure. The very abundance of God's gifts leads many to forget the Giver and wander off to "the far country of forgetfulness of God." V. 14. "Spent all." This did not take long. "A mighty famine." A season when crops failed and great scarcity of food ensued. "Began to be in want." He now wanted for friends, as well as for food and shelter. V. 15. "Joined himself to a citizen." He hired himself out to one of the inhabitants of that "far country." V. 16. "No man gave unto him." No one gave him proper food, hence he cravied even the pods which the swine ate. V. 17. "Came to himself." He had not hitherto been true to himself. Sin is madness. The sinner is much like an insane man. V. 18. "I will arise and go." Go is the important word. And the youth added to his words, in thought at least, "to-day." Too many resolve to zenmend, and do right, to-morrow. "Father, I have sinned." This young man was right in resolving to confess his sin, rather than tell of his misery. "Against Heaven." Against the God of Heaven. Sin injures ourselves and others, but it is most bitterly to be regretted because it is directed against God, against boundless love. V. 20. "Came to his father." Came toward his father. "Was a great way off." He apparently halted when he came in sight of home, as if he had not courage to proceed. "His father saw him." The father had been anxiously looking for his son's return, and spied him while he was still at a great distance. Though the wanderer from God does not know it, it is the Father's love which reaches out to him and draws him to take the first step toward return. V. 21. "The son said," etc. He made his confession. We see that the father's loving welcome gave his heart courage to say anew: "Father." (See Gal. 4:6, 7) V. 22. "The best robe." A rich garment kept in eastern households for honored guests. "A ring." This should be worn only by a freeman. "Shoes." These distinguished him from servants, who wore no shoes. V. 23. "The fatted calf." One kept in the stall to be used on some joyous occasion. "To be merry." See v. 25. On the sinner's conversion there is joy in the Father's heart, joy throughout Heaven and among the earthly children of God, and joy in the heart of the returned prodigal. V. 24. "Was dead." Scripture reiterates the fact that one who is in sin is dead. "Lost . . . found." Another figure expressive of the sinner's state. V. 25. "In the field." Attending to his duttes as overseer of the place. This elder son of the parable represents the Pharisees of Jesus' day and all formal religionists of our day, both in the coldness of his heart and his selflessness of temper. V. 26, 27. "Called one of the servants." A loving, trustful son would have hastened in to join in the festivities, feeling sure that whatever was going on under the father's eye was right. V. 28. "He was angry." Not a passing passion, but deep-seated wrath filled his heart. Vs. 29, 30. "Do I serve thee." His very words indicated that he had wrought with the spirit of a slave, not a son. "Never gavest me a kid . . . with my friends." It is by no means probable he had ever wanted to give a social feast. He was not the kind of man to have friends, or care for social pleasures. V. 21. "Son." A more tender word in the original; it might be rendered "my dear son." "All . . . is thine." It would have been unseemly for me to make you a feast when all the property is your own, for you to do with as vot. please. Practical Points. V. 11. We have been endowed with privileges and possibilities belonging to God himself—Gen. 1:27. V. 12. Not all his gifts can compensate to a soul for the loss of God himself—Luke 12:15. V. 13. Self-will leads men far from God.—Eph. 2:12. V. 15. Who dallies with sin soon finds himself inseparably, bound to it—Rom. 6:17. V. 16. One may look in vain for compassion from his companions in sin.—Prius. 12:14 ```markdown ``` WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.

In the course of conversation one must change the solid gold of one's thoughts into countless pieces of such small coin that one invariably appears poor—Carmen Sylva. That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch, than can be had of any other brand for the same money. China to Own Postoffices. After the return of the Chinese mission which is now making a tour of Europe and America for the purposes of study, the Chinese government intends to assume control of the entire postal system and at the same time to abolish all the post offices in China now maintained by foreign powers.

Dion Boucicault was the son of a French refugee who fled to Ireland and married an Irish girl. He was named Dion after his father's friend, Dr. Dionysius Lardner, a noted British writer on physical science.

Did you ever notice that the size of trouble depends on whether it is coming or going? Beware of the man who moasts of his good deeds; he probably only awaits a favorable opportunity to do a mean one. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. When a man falls in business, his wife tells the neighbors that he was too honest to succeed, but what she tells him in private is another story. A woman is never satisfied with herself until she has outdone her neighbor in some respect.
