H 809 Nor Lincoln Institute Notes. one of the happiest occasions in the annals of Lincoln Institute was that of Wednesday, Feb. 13, when a large body of Missouri's representative men of color, each man, holding a worthy place in his chosen profession or call, visited Lincoln Institute, listened to recitations, inspected all of the departments and the plant generally speaking. This delegation, headed by one of Nature's noble men, Bishop Abram Grant, included Profs. Grisham and Harris, Revs. Stevens, Cook, Peck, Gilbert and Stewart, Lawyers Houston and Phillips, Drs. Unthank and Shannon, stenemen or politicians, Vashon, news, Blackburn and Washington. The body occupied seats upon the platform in the auditorium during denominal exercises, at the close of which President Allen, in his usual rigorous manner and with happy recesses, announced Bishop Grant, president protem of the institution; upon which the bishop, in well-chosen senses, introduced the speakers for the various callings represented upon the platform. Among these speakers we prof. G. N. Grisham, T. C. Unhack, M. D. K. Revs, Dr. Stevens, Cook 1900 MISS ELLA SEVIER. Miss Ella Sevier, the organist and leader of the choir of St. Paul chapel, stands without an equal as a lady organist, and a leader of the choir. It has been said that other cities have famous choirs, but for evidence we have failed to find them. We notice that all bishops and leading ministers who come to St. Louis are forced to compliment the choir of St. Paul chapel very highly. Bishops Tyree, Les, Turner, Derick, Schaffer and the late Bishop Arnett all speak in the highest terms of Miss Sevier and the choir of St. Paul. SPIRITUAL CHRISTIAN UNION. The Christian Spiritual Union meets every Friday evening at Masonic Temple, 2720 Morgan street, at which time there are lectures and communications with the so-called "dead" by J. S. Weatherford and M. E. Brooks. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Troubles. Circulated Among 170,0 and Peck, Lawyers Houston and Phillips, Statesmen Vashon and Crews Each speech was an inspiration and indicated in no uncertain sound the friendliness and good will entertained by each speaker for President Allen specifically and for the institution generally. Each speech was replete with sound advice to the student body, and with facts, figures and telling points that can not be otherwise than helpful now and for years to come. At the close of the morning session the orchestra treated the distinguished visitors to an impromptu serenade. On the following day Dr. Crossland, of St. Joseph, and S. B. Blackburn, of Kansas City, Kas., were the honored guests. Both of these gentlemen are patrons of Lincoln Institute and their excellent and timely addresses showed these gentlemen, as well as the speakers of the previous day, to be firm friends of President Allen and of the administrative policy, by means of which he has made Lincoln Institute, with its more than 500 scholars, one of the leading Negro schools of the country. Another great event of the week was the concert given by students of Lin- FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS. Remember, there will be a $2,000 financial rally on the first Sunday in April, when all of the members will be called on to do their very best. It is really a fact that if everybody works that money can be raised easily. The attendance at the church is on the increase. To keep it so and even make it better, the members should be more polite and kind to visitors and strangers, as well as more loving among themselves. Don't fail to attend the prayer meeting at 5 a. m.; Sabbath school at 9 a. m.; church service, 11 a. m.; B. Y. P. U. and church at 7:30; for it is better to be in the nouse of God than to be elsewhere in mischief. The members of the choir should be in their places promptly at 11 a.m. Remember, you have a good choir already; but try to make it better. The organist can not do all the playing and all the singing, too. Madame M. A. Gilree, organist. Mrs. E. E. Whitfield, missionary of the Baptist denomination from Louisville, Ky., were in the city last Sunday. She addressed the members of the First Baptist church and B. Y. P. U., and made quite an impression. She stopped with Mrs. C. W. Stevenson, 2117 Pine street. Mrs. Martha Lewis, the dear mother of Madam Nora Lee, of 1308 Clark avenue, departed this life last Saturday at 12 o'clock noon, and was buried from the First Baptist church last Tuesday at 2 p. m., of which church she was a true and faithful member for many years. Mrs. Lee and her brother were the embodiment of love and true kindness to their dear mother during her life, and left nothing undone in administering their aid to comfort and preserve her life during ST.LOUIS,MO.,SATURDAY,FERBUARY 23,1907. coln Institute in the hall of the house of representatives for the entertainment of Gov. Folk, the state officers and the 44th general assembly of Missouri on the evening of Feb. 14. In every sense the concert was a signal success and a vote of thanks was tendered Lincoln Institute and its president in the general session of the following day. Among those who delivered orations and received well-merited rounds of applause were the following, with subject: Chester Kimbrough, "Causes of American Prosperity; "Eunice Freeman, "The Home-Making Arts;" Victor Collins, "The Unemployed;" Carrie Sydes, "The Normal School and Its Relations to the Training of the Negro;" Josephine S. Yates, Jr., "The Selection and Preparation of Food as Factors in National Development;" Russell Johnson, "The Tollers;" Mayelle Williams, "The Poetry of the Bible;" Ruth Cooper, "Cleanliness Next to Godliness." The vocal solos by Miss Zerelaid Gordon, the violin solos by Miss Pansy Phelps, the renditions of the Glee club, the choruses, jubilee songs and instrumental duets were all thoroughly enjoyed by a critical, but keenly, appreciative audience. her illness. May she rest in peace. Rev. George West and others officiated. Kinloch Park, Mo. William Alexander Hawkins crossed over Jordan's chilly stream Feb. 13 at 11:15, at the age of 72 years, 11 months and 14 days. He leaves a daughter, son-in-law and a host of friends to mourn his loss; but God knew best, and our loss is Heaven's gain. Often when speaking in class, he would say that there was just one little spot on his garment that he was working with, and when he was taken ill and the deacons called to see him he told them that that spot toe was cleansed. When they gave him communion, he remarked that it would be the last time they would give him the supper, and impressed upon them to meet him in Heaven. When the Sisters sang and prayed with him, he thanked them and said: "Meet me over yonder." He was a member of Kinloch Baptist church, and was laid to rest in St Peter's cemetery. REV. WM.

The attendance at our church Sunday was encouraging, and the members came forward and put a liberal collection on the table. The amount was much beyond our expectation. The pastor preached in the morning to the comfort and edification of a well-filled house. Rev. Dr. Duvall, of Pittsburg, Pa., preached a powerful sermon at night, and every one went home feeling greatly benefited. We are delighted to be able to say to our friends and the public that we will no doubt be able to remain in the present place of worship as long as we desire. There seems to be no disposition on the part of the owners to displace us; therefore we take courage and press forward. The revival meeting is on at our church, and we are hoping to do great things under God for the good of man. Dr. Duvall will do the preaching, and it goes without argument that great crowds will attend the meetings, because of the fact that all of the churches have about closed their meetings for the season. We begin with the hope of having 100 additions before the meeting closes. We call upon the Christian family for their prayers and co-operation that Satan and all evil-minded persons may be disappointed in their hopes.

It is the glory of poverty to conquer its environments. Contemplation and moderation are twins of consolation. In default of adequate theories as to the footpad who held up a reporter, how would insanity do? Ten million American women do their own housework and the rest of them are looking for a girl. Swettenham is pronounced "Swetnum," but it doesn't matter. You will never have to pronounce it again. A Los Angeles woman carries the ashes of her husband around with her in a bag, thus being always able to know where he is nights. The pity-spillers have had a hard time thus far in the Thaw trial, but by this time next week the country will be knee-deep in sympathy. A London physician says people would be healthier if they ate less. Under the present schedule of prices they would also be much richer. What's in a name? Down near Washington a woman named Bowie shot a man, instead of slashing him with a knife, as would be expected. A Massachusetts man says that pea soup is the elixir of life. We have seen some pretty bad whisky, but never any that resembled pea soup. Italian and Japanese coral are manufactured in the provinces of Genoa, Leghorn and Naples. Italian coal is found at Sciacca, in the province of Girgenti, Sicily and the Island of Sardinia. A man in Brooklyn has applied to have his marriage annulled on the ground that he did not know at the time of the ceremony that he was getting married. Perhaps he thought it some kind of an initiation hazing. One of the great advantages of golf is its suitability as a recreation for the middle-aged and the old. A "foursome" was played lately on an English golf course in which the aggregate age of the four players was 331 years. The competitors on one side were 86 and 80 years old, and on the other side 84 and 81. The putting green makes a green old age. English manufacturers of shoes have begun to make larger sizes for women, and now a number eight is advertised, not by the vigorous athletic young women who wear that number, but by the merchants who know that the girls' feet are big enough to fill such a shoe. Small feet, as well as a gentle voice, are admirable things in women, but a more admirable thing is a shoe that does not pinch. Nearly $280,000,000 were expended last year upon the railroads of the United States in expansion and improvement. One railroad company alone is at work on improvements which will cost $200,000,000 when completed. Not many years ago, says the Youth's Companion, the total annual revenues of the government were less than the amount expended on railroad improvement last year. It does not look as if the capitalists think that flying machines will take the place of freight and passenger cars in the near future. Every year the statistician of a Chicago newspaper adds up all gifts and bequests to charity in this country for the preceding 12 months. Only sums of a thousand dollars or more are counted, and only those gifts that have been announced in the newspapers. The total for 1906 is a hundred and six million dollars. This is the highest since 1901, when the total was a hundred and twenty-three millions. In these big figures, says the Youth's Companion, no reckoning is made of the humbler gifts which those who are not rich have been privileged to make. To the modern world a "calendar" is merely a harmless necessary reminder of weeks and days, to be bung up on New Year's day, and consulted in dating letters throughout the year. It has no such mournful sound as "calendarium" had for the ancient Romans. The original "calendar" of their time was the money lender's account book, so-called because interest was due from the debtor on the calend, or first day of each month. That is why Seneca speaks of "calendar" as a word invented outside the course of nature on account of human greed. It is a word which may help to persuade us that the world has grown kindler. Nepotism is one of the things that China will not stand. It wants to turn out a minister of customs because he gave a nephew a government office. The celestial kingdom is old-fashioned, but still there are some of its ways that the United States might advantageously imitate. In the Lancashire (England) cotton manufacturing district there were in operation at the beginning of the current year 48,222,684 cotton spindles and 684,811 looms. This is about 90 per cent of the total of British spindles and looms. GEO. W. F. BULLOCK, Ladies' Barber AND TONSORIALIST 3320 Franklin Avenue. St. Louis. S. SEXTON LOCAL 44, A. F. M.

London—The worst disaster for many years in the history of the busy cross-channel traffic between England and the continent occurred during a violent gale shortly before 6 o'clock Thursday morning, when the Rotterdam mail steamer Berlin, from Harwich to Hook-of-Holland, having safely weathered the hurricane, was wrecked as she was entering port at the latter place. With one single exception, all her passengers and crew, numbering 143 persons, lost their lives. With Awful Suddenness. The terrific seas broke up the steamer with such awful suddenness that all efforts to save life appear to have been utterly hopeless. Late Thursday evening it was reported that a few survivors were clinging to the wreck, but as the heroic efforts all day of the lifeboat crews had failed to reach them, little hope that they will be saved remains. No Cause Assigned. No cause yet has been assigned for the disaster, and it probably will never be known how the steamer came to miss the channel. It is conjectured some derangement of the engines or the steering gear may have rendered the vessel uncontrollable. Capt. Precious of the Bertlin had a good record of 14 years' service. The list of passengers on the fated steamer was lost, and all the names of those who were on board have not yet been learned, but as far as has been ascertained, there were no Americans among them A DEAD MAN. Wife of Chicago Millionaire Kills a Man Who Wanted Money. Chicago—Webster H. Guerin, alias Louis Fisher, and proprietor of the Harrison Art Co., was shot and killed in his office, in the Omaha building at La Salle and Van Buren streets, by Mrs. Flora McDonald, wife of Michael C. McDonald, a millionaire who was for many years the democrat ic boss of Chicago. The motive for the killing is not exactly known. Mrs. McDonald became hysterical immediately after the shooting and was unable to make a connected statement. From what she has said, however, it is believed that for some time Guerin had obtained money from her by the threat of making disclosures to her husband. Mrs. McDonald went to Guerin's office shortly before noon. A quarrel followed, and then came the shooting. Mrs. McDonald was arrested, but refused to give her name. She later was identified at the Harrison street police station by her uncle, B. M. Cohaffner, an attorney. The woman's husband, who came immediately to her cell, declared extortion was the only possible motive for the shooting. McDonald declared Guerin had followed Mrs. McDonald to California several years ago and attempted to force her to give him money. Mrs. McDonald has gone hopelessly insane, according to physicians attending her. TAFT TO VISIT CUBA. Will See If Affairs Have Improved in Island Recently. Washington—Secretary Taft has announced his purpose of paying another visit to Cuba in April to look for himself into conditions there, and compare them with those he left when he quitted Havana last fall. Asked as to the prospects of a withdrawal of the American forces, the secretary indicated that the date would be determined entirely by restoration of order. AOKI CALLS ON ROOT. Discuss Programme for New Treaty to Exclude Coolies. Washington—Viscount Aoki called at the state department to discuss with Secretary Root the programme to be followed in conducting negotiations for the preparation of a treaty relative to the restriction of Japanese cookie immigration into the United States. The way to resume negotiations for the projected restrictive treaty is regarded as open. CON SHEA NOT GUILTY. Teamsters' President Released by a Jury in Chicago. Chicago—President Cornelius P.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS --- Delay in Presbyterian Case. Judge Martin in the circuit court at Boonville ordered that the union element of the Cumberland Presbyterian church must file a new petition in its suit to restrain the anti-union element of the church from interfering in the affairs of the church in Warrensburg. The unionists were given until March 1 to file their petition and the antis until March 20 to answer it. The case is set for a hearing before Judge Martin in Boonville April 11. The case is an important one, as it will serve as a precedent in the settlement of the Cumberland church affairs of the entire state. The trouble began at the time of the union of the Presbyterian and Cumberland Presbyterian churches. That part of the Cumberland church in Warrensburg that opposed the merger took possession of the church property and barred the union element. The latter secured a temporary restraining order against their opponents, and a petition was then filed to make the injunction permanent. It was this petition that was ruled out and ordered redrawn. New Coal Fields Near Rich Hill. New Coal Fields Near Rich Hill. It is reported at Rich Hill that the contractors digging the canal to drain the Marais des Cygnes river had unearthed a fine five-foot vein of coal on the bottom lands where the ditch opened for a starting place for their dredge boat. Coal has been known to exist under all these bottom lands, by coal men, for the past 25 years, but it has been too expensive mining, owing to overflows. Now that the canal is an assured fact, it is thought that new shafts, slopes and strip pills will be opened up in large numbers on these lands, as some of the finest coal in the Rich Hill fields exists under this land. A City Treasurer in Jail. Thomas P. Valentine, who was arrested at Warrensburg charged with embezzling $3,000 of Johnson county's funds from the city treasurer's office, pleaded guilty in Judge Bradley's court. Sentence was deferred pending further investigation of the books by L. U. Crawford, an expert from Kansas City, who is checking up the office. Valentine is in the county jail. The shortage probably will reach $6,500. A Woman's Sudden Death. A Woman's Student Death.

Preacher Stops the Fight. A three-cornered fight at Scott Hill, a country church north of Princeton in which a preacher took a prominent part in assisting to disarm the com starts, may result in the death of Everett Cox, the 18-year-old son of Edward Cox, a prominent farmer of the vicinity. All the combatants have been arrested. Selfbinder Pioneer Dead. David Jones, 80 year old, a pioneer citizen of Callaway county, died at Mokane recently.

BROOKLYN MUNICIPAL CITY HALL Let the Negro find out where the better class of Negroes will land, if he condescends to vote for a set of men who don't know you after the election. When the election was over last fall, every central committeeman got a position. If he did not, then his brother or cousin did. Why did not our old friend Gen. Rice get a position? He did good work in the 12th Congressional district. The only committeeman who did not get a position was Gen. Rice, a member of the 12th Congressional district committee. It was simply because he was a Negro and a member of Aunt Hagar's family. We will expect our advertisers and subscribers to be as kind and generous to us as their pockets will admit. Don't ask us what you owe, but pay us what you can while we are confined to our bed, until we get us and get things straightened out. The manager, Mr. Wheeler, is now confined to his bed. It is reported that Williams is gifted on the song, "Let It Alone." If there ever was a time in the history of the Negroes of St. Louis (when the committee call upon you to vote) to sing "Let It Alone," it is now. If you "let it alone" this time you children will be respected by the Republicans at the next elections. Now is the time for the 700 hod carriers in St. Louis to remember their brethren in black. Many of them have young men connected with their families that have passed out of school. Why can not they be appointed to some clerical position? Say, Mr. Hod Carrier, don't you vote nor let your neighbor vote until something is done for the family of Aunt Hagar's children. President Roosevelt, in his dismissal of Companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth infantry, we believe was wrong and not according to the military law, and the 10,000,000 Negroes of the United States take it as an insult to the Negro race. The president should not think that by giving one Negro a position for $5,000 a year will cause the Negroes to flock back to the Republican party in 1908. This is poor politics for the president of the United States to attempt to insult one of the greatest statesmen in the Senate today. Hon. J. B. Foraker, by his patronage and dope that he has at his command. Senator J. B. Foraker is not fighting the president, but is demanding that which is right, for all men are equal before the law. The time is now at hand that the better class of Negroes must look to men and not party lines in city elections. Since 1899 the Republicans have been gradually letting the better element of Negroes go by, and now the Negro only gets janitorship or messenger and they think that must satisfy them. The Palladium appeals to the better judgment of the honest hard-working men to look to your own interests. If the Republicans have gone back on us, then why will we keep them in office. Out of 46,000 Republican votes, the Negro has 12,000 of that number. Take 10,000 from that and you will have left 36,000, while the Democrats will have 41,000 to 42,000 votes, while the 10,000 Negro voters are dissatisfied and did not vote. Now is the time to teach these men, who call themselves Republicans, a lesson. If undeckled, consult Leon Devoux, the Great Hindoo Chairvoyant. He removes the Hoodoo and removes evil influences. 2734 Morgan street. Ernest A. Knox .....Chicago Rosa D. Rubry .....Chicago Ell Wilson .....2311 Lucas Mary Davis .....214 S.

The concert of last Sunday marks an epoch in the history of Blue's sacred concerts. The attendance was good and the programme, though devoid of encores, may be classed among the best of the season. Prof. Arthur D. Langston did justice to the subject, "Today and Tomorrow," and Miss Leonora Davis, who made her first appearance at the concerts, made quite an impression. She was presented with a beautiful bouquet of carnations. We noticed many new faces in the audience, namely, Prof. Leon De Voux, Mrs. Harrison, of Indianapolis, Ind.; Misses Leona Lee, Clara Myers, Corrine, Myers; Messrs. Lee, Harris, Tom Thornton, Mrs. Buckner and many others. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Ladies' evening, Tuesday, the 26th inst. Shorthand and typewriting classes meet Tuesdays and Thursdays.

MISS OLIVIA RICCARDSON Above is the cut of Miss Olivia Richardson, the secretary of the St. Louis Palladium. She has been connected with the Palladium for the past two years, and we have found in her an aptness that is possessed by few women. It is said that secretaries and editors are born as such. We have had many secretaries and editors, but two have filled the position as such with a credit to themselves and those connected with them. Miss Katie Johnson, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson of the 1555 Singleton street, was with the Palladium four years. At the end of two years she was appointed as a teacher in the public schools of our city, yet for two years she edited the Palladium while she taught school; all of a sudden, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, she was married to Mr. Trugle, an honorable citizen of Memphis, Tenn. Thus she left school, and the editorial chair of the Palladium. I was at a loss what to do, having had many girls who had passed through the high school, but that was all. There was nothing to them. About this time we were informed that the daughter of Mrs. Jas. T. Richardson, widow of the late J. T. Richardson, was a graduate from both the high and normal departments of Sum- the money—and yet, they do neither. We again ask you to do something for us while we are confined to our bed.

She came into our office and we at once saw that there was ability and aptness for journalistic work. The affairs of the paper were entrusted to her care, while we were in the city and were attended with so much interest, that we soon realized the fact that she could publish the Palladium when we left the city; this she has demonstrated. I have been confined to the bed since January 19, 1907, with a broken foot, and nave had little to say about the paper; yet under the management of Miss Olivia Richardson the Palladium has made its appearance each week, bristling with new thoughts and ideas. We predict for her a bright future in the journalistic world, if she does not turn a benedict and marry some one who will blot out her future prospects. Miss Richardson is not only to be praised for her penmanship, but also for the way in which she manages the advertising department. She knows what it costs to publish a paper, and she has her eye on the receipts, never allowing her expenditures to exceed her receipts. She has the kindest regard for all subscribers and advertisers, and may well be called the Palladium Lady. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Are They Loyal to the Race, or Are They Loyal for the Money They Get for Teaching School? Why is it that the Negro principals in our public schools never take any interest in the affairs of our race? Not one of them ever get a leave of absence to render any aid for the cause of his race, yet we find such men as Rev. J. H. Garnett, principal of the High school, at Macon, Mo; Nelson Crews, clerk of the police court, in Kansas City, Mo.; Rev. Geo E. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist church; Rev. W. D. Cook, pastor of St. Paul chapel; Leon Jordan, of Kansas City; Prof. Gression, principal of a school in Kansas City, that think it is their indispensable duty to go to Jefferson City and raise their voices in behalf of our race, but not a principal in St. Louis cared two cents about his race. We shall in the future investigate this matter and find out whether or not they care anything for the race. Now watch the columns of the Palladium. BILL DAD Here They Are. It has been said that March will carry away all old men and women who have been complaining for several months, as their constitutions are freighted with consumption and other incurable diseases. During February and March the young Negro girls and boys lay the foundation—to pass out in a few months with hasty consumption and other incurable diseases. Never in my life have I seen such a disregard for the laws of nature as is now carried on by the young Negro men and women. We find that the average boy and man from 16 to 25 years of age in all large cities, who make any pretense to work, his duties call him from 6 to 7:30 a.m. to from 5 to 7 p. m., and yet these persons after 8 p. m. are out for a good time from 8 until 12 and 1 o'clock at night, going from house to house, and from hall to hall, dancing and drinking beer, whisky, soda or what the Bontons call punch. This is carried on for months with about six hours' sleep. What is said of the men, I am sorry, indeed, can be said of the girls and frisky married women. Thus they pass through this world as a butterfly, thinking of nothing but what they call a good time, and when admonished about their way of living, they will say: 'I am young and I will have a good time; but before they are 25 years of age their bodies are contaminated with consumption and other incurable diseases, with their character all blotted and neither man nor woman fit for the position of mother or father. Such is the condition of the young, brainless Negro man and woman of today.' SNOOKS OPPOSING THE JIM CROW BILL. Citizens of Twelve Counties, Representing 17,000 Negroes. Last Wednesday the representatives of twelve counties, or 17,000, when the Negroes are counted, went before the house committee and gave their reasons why such a bill as the "Jim Crow" bill should not pass the committee. They met at the church and selected their speakers to speak before the committee, with Bishop A. Grant chairman. The following well-known gentlemen spoke: Bishop A. Grant, Reverends George Stevens and W. D. Cook, J. T. Caston, J. H. Garnett, B. W. Stewart, Prof. Gressions and Messrs. Nelson Crews, Leon Jordan and George B. Vashon. The gentlemen spoke in the most conservative manner and pladed for the recognition of our race. The committee of the house, who had the bill in charge, treated the speakers with that marked attention which is so characteristic of our lawmakers. The capitol was crowded and all seemed to pay the utmost attention. After the speaking both Democrats and Republicans congratulated the representatives of our race and made them feel that all men were not against the race, although they were Democrats. We have always had the utmost confidence in the brotherhood of mankind, and when the humanity of a man is touched he will turn to the right. Now that the representatives of the race have gotten together on the one important issue for the good of the race, let an organization be formed and perfected so that in 36 hours the representatives can be called together to consult for the good of the race. Let the power of right prevail, and we will have the approval of our God and the approbation of our own hearts. Famous Rembrandt House Burned.

POLITICAL POINTERS. | When Negro votes put white men in office, then they should get some of the offices. . 3 No Negro can be considered unless they find favor in the eyes of the city central committee. Many a candidate thinks himselt a “Clay, only to discover after the e‘ection that his name is “mud.” What the Negro wants is 2 com: mittée of three on the committee of two hundred on the central commit: tee. If the Negroes are to give their votes, why are they not to be con- sidered in the making up of the Re- publican ticket this spring? It does not matter what service the Negroes will render in any election, they must find that same favor in the central committee or its chair- man. 3 ‘They want three in the marriage license department, two in the license department, one in the registry de- partment and three in the circuze clerk's office. In a politieal race almost any. poll- tician is satisfied if he only succeeds in getting a place; but in St. Louis all the committee or their brothers must be supplied. If the Republicans want to get the 12,000 votes of St. Louis, the Negroes of St. Louis should get one-fourth of the offices. What offices have any respectable Negroes, with the excep- tion of John H. Johnson, of the Fifth ward? Let the centrat committee put three Negroes on the central committee, one each from the Tenth, Eleventh and ‘Twelfth congressional districts. This will be better and a more amicable feeling will pervade the 12,000 Negro voters of St. Louis. A politician will shake you’ hand one minute and pull your leg the next. Let the Negro voters this spring say to the committeemen: “Remember last fall's election. What did we get for casting our vote for our beloved party? You go fishing next April.” Don’t play the fool any more. Some men vote as they pray, and they never pray unless it is to ask ‘a political favor. . Last fall all the committeemen got their favors in a political office. What did the Negro get? He received what the little boy shot at—nothing. Be careful men, how you vote, if you vote at all. Remember this spring two years ago, when the Republicans were sure that they had elected the majority of the city couneii, they held a caucus of the Republicans and indorsed a white man for sergcant-at-arms of the city council. This position was for- merly held under the Republicans by a Negro, and after our hard fight for the success of the party, that was a slam at the Negro Republicans. Shoutd not the Negro know what part he will play at the outcome of the spring ection, If you as a Negro do not know, and they will not share the victory with you, then stay at home next April. ‘The city eomeniites hk Saavorted — 2 Poa a ae = B of ea = L > ¥ y 5 . 9d N A dfight{ully Perfumed: Hair Pomade SEAS PREPARED ESPECIALLY FOR COLORED PEOPLE. 7 This old, reliable preparation has been in astant use for over ten years, and is considered a necessary toilet article in sousands of homes.

The city committee has reported that 200 good Republicans have been selected to pass upon the candidates that will be put up for the Republic- ans of St. Louis to vote upon next spring (April). If this is the way the city central committee is to hand out to the Republicans (Negro Re- publicans), it will be well for the Ne- groes of St. Louis to remain at home next April, as nothing will be offered them. The Negro who can vote the Republican ticket next April can do anything. You voted last fall, and what-did you get? If you are not al- lowed representation on the committe- tee and on the board of two hundred, then why will you fatten frogs for snakes? Stop! Stop! at once.

CLARK __ Merchant Tailor Leesa = i ceeey 1987, “Our Vote.” The ballot was placed in the hands of the Negro that he might defend himself. Now that the carpetbaggers of St. Louis have been working the Negro to a finish, it is now time for the Negro to apply the time he has been putting in politics. Let him put it in business or his race affairs. The cheap politicians are a hindrance to the Negro’s progress. We are in St. Louis and we art a part of the body polities. We have voted solidly for the Republicans in the city, and no Republican can be elected unless the Negro votes. This being so, then what shall we expect? We should be accorded a seat at the pie counter. This has been denied us ever since the Hon. Chauncey I. Filley stepped down and out of power. What we want is a part of the pie; this old game of promise has passed. ‘Phe cheap politician thinks that the Negro should be satisfied as a janitor or mes. senger. This is a sad mistake. If there is nothing in the political “heave-up” for the Negro, then let him stay at home on election day, for there is nothing in it for the Negro after the eelction, Ghe JEFFERSON BAR.....

Oh, yes, the Palladium is to the front with as much vim and original, spicy matter as formerly, when the Palladium man was on his feet. “As- sociation begets assimiliation.” Miss Olivia Richardson has been with the Palladium so long that she can well be called the Palladium lady. Re- member, we all might die sooner or later, and things move along as if nothing had happened, so don’t be worried in thinking about the Pal- ladfum man, when there is a Palladi- um lady whom, I believe, when I am in the lonely grave yard, will be able to publish the Palladium with more vim and originality than there ever was before, and she will be a terror to evil doers. I shall when dead leave “Footprints on the sands of time,” so much so that there wil be a brighter time for the publisher of the St. Louis Palladium. The spring election is at hand, and the Republican have adopted the same tactics that were adopted last fall and carried out by the state commit tee; that is: Letting the Negro alone. The few that were sent out by the state committee had no influence, and with but a few exceptions were un- known by the Negroes of the state. At the election last fall the Negroes of St. Louis voted almost to a man for the Republican ticket; so much so that the congressman in the Third congressional aistrict was elected by only 38 votes. Since that time alll of the elected officers have taken charge of the offices to which they were elect- ed. We ask this question: What have they done for the Negro in ot. Loui? What have the respectable Negroes in St. Louis received at their hands? What respectable Negroes have had the least say so in regards to whom of their race should be appointed to office? Are the Negroes that have been appointed to office representing the race? Let us ask this question: Will the twelve thousand Negroes of St. Louis vote to give 28 central com- mitteemen offices before the Negro gets anything? Our answer to that is: Not by a jugfull. Now is the time to act. If you have been ignored in the lect election, let the Negro stay at home. If you have not a part at the pie counter, then why will you act the pack-horse for others who do not care for you? My advice to the Negro is to stay at home until you know what part you, as a Negro, are to play after next spring’s election.

Among the lucrative sources of revenue of the pope before the separation of church and state in France was the toll or tax on titles of nobility and decorations. Since the rupture the French government no longer recognizes the ennobling titles and decorations of the holy father. To have the right to wear the Vatican ribbon, or to be called count, it was necessary to obtain a confirmation of title. This gave much perplexity to the candidates. The question has just been settled. Queen Wilhelmina has consented to validate such titles and distinctions. The result has been an amusing pilgrimage to The Hague—and also in an increase in the price of these pontifical favors. In the last few weeks the French Knights of the Golden Spur, of the Holy Sepulcher, of Christ, of Gregory the Great, of Pius IX. have greatly increased. BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING. Rash Covered Face and Feet—Would Cry Until Tired Out—Speedy Cure by Cuticura. "My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her most, especially nights. They would cause her to be broken in her rest, and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had always used Cuticura Soap myself, and had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I thought I would give them a trial. The improvement was noticeable in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as "cradle cap" from her head, and it worked like a charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time. Now I keep Cuticura Ointment on hand in case of any little rash or insect bites, as it takes out the inflammation at once. Perhaps this may be the means of helping other suffering babies.

PROVE EVERY CLAIM Dr. Williams' Pink/ Pills a Specific For Anaemia and a Safe Family Medicine. When the body becomes run down, either as a result of overwork, worry or a severe illness, an examination of the blood would show it to be weak and watery. This condition is called anaemic, which is the medical term for "bloodless." The common symptoms are paleness of the lips, gums and cheeks, shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart after the slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss of appetite. Mr. Louis L. Clark, a painter, of 19 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N. J., says: "Last May I was obliged to undergo an operation for appendicitis and while the operation in itself was successful, I did not recover my strength and health. I was confined to my bed for over a month and was under the doctor's care. When I was able to get up my legs were so weak and unsteady that I could only walk with a cane with difficulty. "I was getting no better and could not think of going back to work. I was discouraged, when a neighbor told me that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured her and advised me to try them. I began taking them about the middle of June and soon felt so much better that I kept on and was cured. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured rheumatism, chlorosis, after-effects of the grip and fevers, and, as the health of the nerves depends upon the purity of the blood, they are invaluable in neuralgia, nervous debility, sleeplessness, dizziness and even locomotor ataxia and paralysis.

Ely Brothers, 56 Warren Street, New York Missouri Legislature LEGISLATIVE NOTES. Petitions almost without number are coming to the house asking for the passage of the bill prohibiting the selling or delivery to a minor of liquor, which has been ordered engrossed. It will, however, be materially amended before it is passed if passed at all, as under its present provisions a physician would not be permitted to prescribe any sort of liquor for a minor patient. The bill introduced by Representative Catlin of St. Louis, authorizing cities, towns and villages to build or to acquire by purchase or lease armories, drill halls and headquarters for such organizations of the national guard as may be located there, was ordered engrossed in the house Monday. The farmers in the house on one side and the lawyers and doctors on the other fought a fierce pyrotechnical battle Monday. It was over the engrossment of the Pumphrey bill, providing that persons living along public roads should keep the roads free of weeds, cutting such growth at stated seasons, and without compensation. The farmers wanted it, but the lawyers took the other stand. It was a closely drawn fight, the bill finally being ordered engrossed by a vote of 48 to 47. Following is a statistical summary of the work of the house in the disposition of the bills introduced there, together with figures relative to senate bills coming to the house: House bills introduced, 896; house joint and concurrent resolutions, 23; bills read second time and referred to committee, 826; house bills reported "do pass", 361; house bills reported "do not pass", 159; bills ordered engrossed, 205; bills passed by house and delivered to senate, 76; bills passed by house and delivered to governor, 2; house bills approved by the governor, 2; senate bills received in house, 56; senate bills referred to committee, 56; senate bills concurred in by house, 2; senate bills lost on third reading, 2. The Ely bucket shop bill Tuesday was ordered engrossed. This is one of the most stringent measures 'ever aimed at bucket shops in this state. It makes it a felony to conduct a bucket shop, and telephone and telegraph companies are prohibited from handling bucket shop business in any way. The senate committee on criminal jurisprudence agreed to report favorably on Monday the bill introduced by Senator McAllister, placing the Sunday lid on clubs. In addition to the Sunday lid being applied to the clubs by the McAllister measure, it requires them to pay tax to the amount that a saloon license would cost, although a dram-shop license will not be required. Gov. Folk will not make any appointment at present to fill the vacancy on the circuit court bench of Jackson county, caused by the death of Judge W. B. Teasdale. Judge Seehorn, who was appointed by the governor, at the request of Judge Teasdale, to serve during the illness of the latter, will continue to serve until such time as an appointment shall be made. HOUSE. The house Thursday passed, without debate, the committee substitute for the Walmsley game law, the vote being 104 to 27, and the emergency clause was also adopted. Section 8 of the substitute provides that: "No person or persons shall injure, kill or destroy, by any means whatever, the following named game birds, except between the following named dates: Wild turkey, from January 1 to February 1 and from December 1 to December 31 of each year; quail, from November 15 to December 31; pinnated grouse shall not be killed prior to 1910; after that year the open season shall be from November 15 to December 15; ducks and geese, January 1 to April 30 and September 15 to December 31; snipe, January 1 to April 30 and September 15 to December 31; plover, woodcock and dove, August 1 to December 31." By a change of one vote on the roll call, the bill making county school supervision general instead of optional, as it has been since 1878, secured just votes enough to pass the house Thursday afternoon. An earnest fight was made on both sides, the discussion continuing a couple of hours or longer, and Representative Swiers, one of the friends of the bill, said its opponents were justifying their opposition because there was a local option supervision law now, and that they were using this local option feature to pave the way for securing a local option vote on Sunday opening of saloons in St. Louis. The house Thursday passed, with Fewer bills came into the house Monday than during any other day of the session, there being but four of them. The total number is now, however, $90. One of those which came in Monday provides that the term of county assessor shall be four years, and that excepting, as applies to St. Louis city, no assessor shall serve two succeeding terms. Another one provides that in all counties having 5,000 and less than 120,000 population the salary of the presiding judge of the county court shall be $1500 and of associate judges $1200. out debate, the Simmons primary election bill, the affirmative vote being 74, with 57 in opposition. This snows eight democrats and three republicans either absent or not voting. It was, however, a strict party vote, all those supporting it being democrats. The democratic absentees were Representatives Botsford, Conran, Embry, Griffith, Huck, Organ, Sosey and Lucks. The republican absentees were Representatives Hill, Phillips of St. Louis and Mahan. The house indulged in much merchant Monday over the Staple's bill, prohibiting the manufacture or sale in this state of "pop" matches. The wits attacked it from all sides, and the amendments came pouring in which would have made the Fourth of July quiet as a graveyard to the small boy. They prohibited the manufacturer or sale of firecrackers, skyrockets, toy pistols and "nigger chasers." After all these had been adopted and the house had listened to the reading of letters from insurance companies indorsing the measure, the bill was refused engrossment. The house devoted considerable time to the discussion of the Simmons bill, in relation to the weighing and inspection of grain, which was up for engrassment. It was placed on the calendar by a vote to 61 to 30. Representative Heathman led the fight for the bill, while Representatives Catlin and Haller, both of St. Louis, conducted the fight for the opposition. The bill provides that the weighing and inspection of grain now being conducted by the boards of trade in St. Louis, Kansas City, and St. Joseph, be transferred to the state department. In the discussion there were charges and counter charges of graft, the opponents of the bill alleging that it was a scheme of the state board of railroad and warehouse commissioners to enlarge its patronage, and friends of the measure retarded that the boards of trade were resisting its passage because it would deprive them of a continuance of swindling on a petty scale SENATE. Senator Kinney introduced a bill Thursday afternoon which seeks to place the office of excise commissioner of the city of St. Louis under the supervisory control of the circuit court of that city. The court, should this bill become a law, would have the right to pass upon and review all of the official acts of the commissioner. Appeals from his refusal to grant a license, or the revocation of one, will go to the court for final determination. Senator Humphrey's bill affecting the trust companies of St. Louis has finally been arranged satisfactorily to all concerned by substituting for the original measure sections agreed upon by its author and the delegation of trust company representatives headed by Breckenridge Jones, John F. Lee and others. This substitute was adopted in the senate Thursday afternoon and ordered engrossed. Other new bills Thursday were by Cooper, to empower state board of health to inspect private sanitariums; by Cooper, for commitment of insane persons to private sanitariums; by Wornail, changing time of holding circuit court in Holt county; by Gilmore, establishing board of examiners to license professional nurses; by Farris, amending law relating to witnesses; by Methudy, prohibiting certain medical advertisements; by Hudson, relating to admission to girl's industrial home; by Humphrey, establishing board to license expert accountants. Only two bills were passed in the senate during Monday. One of these is an amendment to the Wamsley game and fish law, prepared by Senator Fields, making clear the much-mooted provision of that act relative to licenses to be required to hunt in one's home county. The Fields bill, passed Monday, specifically provides that no license is necessary to hunt in the county in which a citizen resides. The other bill passed was a local act changing the time of holding court in Stoddard county. New bills in the senate include one by Senator Kinney, providing a stenographer for the court of criminal correction in St. Louis; by M. Gilmore, amending the law relating to mutual insurance companies; by Mr. Kammerer, increasing the office force of the circuit attorney of St. Louis by providing for another assistant and another deputy. After several weeks of hard work the senate committee on agriculture, roads and highways had agreed upon a series of five measures, each in a way supplementary to the other, but yet so constructed that each will be applicable, in the event of the failure of the others to become laws. As a companion piece the committee will also recommend the passage of a constitutional amendment creating a road fund by imposing a tax of 10 cents on the $100 valuation. This would create a road fund of something like $1,250,00 annually on the basis of an assessed valuation of $1,250,000,000 in the state, which is approximately the assessed valuation of the state at this time. The house Wednesday passed the senate bill to prohibit a greater charge for transporting passengers in cars across bridges forming a part of the railroad track than is charged for carrying passengers the same distance on other parts of the road. Mr. Humphrey's bill providing for a separation of the state grain inspection department from the board of railway and warehouse commissioners did not meet with the favor of the senate committee on agriculture and was reported from that committee with an adverse recommendation.

HOME-MADE CATARRH CURE. Sufferers Should Make This Up and Try It Anyway. Any one can mix right at home the best remedy of its kind known. The name "Cyclone" is given to the following prescription, it is supposed, because of its promptness in driving from the blood and system every vestige of catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and dread disease, no matter where located. To prepare the mixture: Get from any good pharmacy one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon and three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. This is a harmless, inexpensive mixture, which has a peculiar action upon the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, assisting them to filter and strain from the blood and system all catarrhal poisons, which, if not eradicated, are absorbed by the mucous membrane, and an open sore or catarrh is the result. Prepare some and try it, as it is the prescription of an eminent catarrh specialist of national reputation.

UP CO. New York, N. Y. GOD'S COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM Sunday School Lesson for Feb. 24, 1907 Specially prepared for this paper. LESSON TEXT - Genesis 15:1, 5-16 years, 5 and 6. Memory GOLDEN TEXT—"He believed in God and counted it to him for righteous- ness." Gen. 15.6. Time—Three to six years after our last lesson. PLACE.—Near Hebron, amidst the WARREN. oaks of SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES—Light on covenants: Gal. 3.9-29; Rom. 8.21; Psa. 103.17; 18; Isa. 59.21; Ezek. 8.29-31. The eight promises given to Abraham: First promise, Gen. 12.1-3; second promise, 12.2; third promise, 13.1-4; fourth promise, 15.1, 5, 18; fifth, 17.1-10, 19; sixth promise, 18.13; seventh promise, 21.12; eighth promi- sion, 22.16-18. Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Covenant Promise.—V. 5. The Promise in Detail. (1) He should be the father of a great nation. (2) God would make him a blessing to all the world. (3) The land of Canaan should be his land and that of his seed forever. (4) His descend- ents should be in number as the sand of the seashore and as the stars of heaven. (5) God be his shield and re- ward. (6) He should have a son who would inherit the promises. The condition was faith that led to prompt and entire obedience. But this was a very difficult achievement. Years went by and no son was given him. He was almost alone in a heathen land full of all iniquity. The land promised him was occupied by strong and warlike tribes. In such circumstances, in all circumstances of difficulty, in all righteous living in a wicked world, men need aids to faith, need sustaining grace shown in visible ways, and God gave these to Abraham and he gives them to us. First—The Symbol of the Stars. 5. "And he brought him forth abroad." Out of his tent, so that he could see the stars, showing that this vision was no dream, but a real message from God. "Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them." In the promise to Noah the rainbow was made a sign, appearing occasionally, but at the very time when fears for the fulfillment of the promise would naturally arise. To Abraham God gives a brighter sign, so that wherever he went the night would speak with thousands of harmonious voices, testifying to the faithfulness of God. God's promise was written on the sky, as every Christian should see written on the mighty heavens: "They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever." 1. These bright worlds were created and are held in their places by divine power. So great is the God who would defend Abraham, so able and willing to keep his promises. 2. The stars never failed. Each night they appeared in their places, and moved unvariably in their courses. God's faithfulness in nature was the assurance of his faithfulness to his word given to Abraham. 3. The stars in that climate are brighter than ours. Prof. Hall says that he has known Venus to shine so bright as to cast a shadow. Brighter than the stars, steadier than their fames, shall be the fulfillment of God's promises. 4. There are infinitely more stars in heaven than Abraham could see. God's promises are ever better in their fulfillment than it is possible for us to conceive. Second.—The Symbol of the Dust and Sand. In Gen. 13:16 God says that Abraham's seed should be as "the dust of the earth" for number; and in Gen. 12:17, "as the sand which is upon the seashore." So wherever Abraham looked, at earth or at sky, by day or by night, he would see symbols of God's promise on every side. Third.—The Symbol of Circumcision. In Gen. 17:10-14 we find another sign of the covenant, the rite of circumcision, which has ever been the rite of the Jews, as baptism since then has been the sign of the Christian's covenant with God. Fourth.—The Symbol of the Changed Name. In Gen. 17:5 we have the symbol of a change of his name from Abram (exalted father) to Abraham (father of a multitude). Fifth.—The Symbol of the Blood Covenant. In the latter part of the lesson for to-day. God Himself is the Best Reward.—The best reward does not consist in God's gifts, but in himself. The child who has his father has infinitely more than any gift his father can give him. He who has God has all things. The love of God is the best reward of love. The favor of God is better than the favor of all other things in the universe. Communion with God is the best communion of the Spirit. Instead of the child he wanted, God was his friend, and would bring to pass what was needed in his own good time. Practical Points God comes to us in our dark times, the times of trial and sickness and loss, and danger. These with God in them are training in faith and character. Character grows by God's encouragements in the trials of our faith, by earnest believing, by confirmations of faith, by religious observances, by the everlasting covenant with God. The more we grow in faith and character the larger and surer are God's promises to us. Our God "is the covenant-making and covenant-keeping God." Prof. Korn, of the Munich university, has greatly improved his apparatus for transmitting photographs over telegraph wires. He has succeeded in sending photographs and sketches six or seven inches square in this manner from Munich to Nuremberg, a distance of 100 miles. in from 10 to 15 minutes. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right 2starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. The End of an Intention. "What a pretty little gown that is you have on!" they exclaimed. "So soft and fine. Such delicate, lovely silk. All you'll have to do will be to take the yoke out of it to make it an evening gown." "I like it," she said, complacently. "This is the way I happened to buy it: I went into a department store to buy a sturdy, thick, heavy woolen gown for mountain climbing—it was in the fall—and they showed me this, which was marked down for that day, so I bought it. What are you laughing at?" The revelations regarding fraudulent paint materials which have been made by the Agricultural Experiment Station of Fargo, N. D., and published by Prof. E. F. Ladd, state commissioner, have occasioned almost as much of a sensation as the exposure of adulteration in food products did when the latter first began to appear. It has been shown that kegs marked "Pure White Lead" often contain other substances such as chalk, barytes, silica, etc., and that oil supposed to be linseed often contains petroleum adulterants, to say nothing of water in large proportions. Sometimes, so-called "White Leads" contain not an iota of genuine White Lead. The farmer is a large user of paint. No one is more interested than he is, that the label should enable him to get what he supposes he is paying for. There should be a law in every state requiring that all paint packages be labeled exactly according to their contents. That would enable every paint-buyer to buy intelligently. ONE WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTY. Match Twins with Twins, Was the Fond Mother's Idea. A little woman entered a drug store and asked the proprietor if he had "another picture." "What kind of a picture do you mean?" the druggist asked. "One like this," said the woman, holding up an attractive advertising print. "I may have one or two of them left," the proprietor said, "but I haven't many of them." The woman said she only wanted one, and her tone indicated that she was anxious for that one. She explained that the one she had with her had been given to one of her children. Another child, she stated, was sick, and was crying for a picture such as his brother had. "That's a bad way to bring up your children," ventured a woman customer in the store. "Do you try to give a child everything he cries for just because his brother is more fortunate?" "But," said the mother of the children, "you don't know. The children are twins and what one has the other wants." "Suppose," objected the moralist, "when your children get older, they fall in love with the same girl, what will they do?" But the mother was ready. She promptly replied: "Find twins and fall in love with them." DREADED TO EAT. A Quaker Couple's Experience. How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hungry nearly all the time! Nature never intended this should be so, for we are given a thing called appetite that should guide us as to what the system needs at any time and can digest. But we get in a hurry, swallow our food very much as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and perverted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you are—indigestion and its accompanying miseries. A Phila. lady said, the other day: "My husband and I have been sick and nervous for 15 or 20 years from drinking coffee—feverish, indigestion, totally unfit, a good part of the time, for work or pleasure. We actually dreaded to eat our meals. "We tried doctors and patent medicines that counted up into hundreds of dollars, with little if any benefit. "Accidentily, a small package of Postum came into my hands. I made some according to directions, with surprising results. We both liked it and have not used any coffee since. "The dull feeling after meals has left us and we feel better every way. We are so well satisfied with Postum that we recommend it to our friends who have been made sick and nervous and miserable by coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The fact that when a servant becomes master a cruel foe is suddenly developed is attested by the dreadful havoc and loss of life occasioned by fire in the United States within the 12 months covered by a summing up of these losses for 1906. This record shows that nearly 7,000 lives were lost and more than $500,000,000 worth of property was destroyed by fire during that period. In no other country in the world is the fire loss, in bulk or pro rata, anywhere near our own. Last year, owing to the devastating fire that followed the earthquake in San Francisco, this loss was in great excess of the average, but the average for some years past has been $200,000,000 a year. 1847----1907. 60 years ago Allcock's Plasters were first introduced to the public.

"I Was Given Up" writes Mrs. Eva Bashore, of Wapakoneta, O., 'by ten (10) doctors, and the only hope they offered was an operation, for an abscess of four (4) months growth, measuring about six inches long, on my ovary. I weighed only 90 pounds and was so weak I could hardly walk across the floor. The trouble began by my taking cold at my period, which stopped the flow. I doctored for nearly a year without obtaining relief, until, as I dreaded an operation, I began to take WINE OF CARDUI Woman's Relief "I only used eight (3) bottles of Cardul. Now I am well, have gained 35 pounds and work every day. Wine of Cardul saved my life. I cannot say enough for it and will recommend it whenever I can."

When we are allowed to ex- plain they begin to tell us about what ‘and how some grafter fleeced them, 'and they never have seen the paper. ‘after listening to them we have come 2 the conclusion that they have a just complaint.
