St. Louis Palladium

ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM A The old Kentucky Building in the held their supreme session during the State where the Knights of Pythias past week. Vol. XXIII. No. 38. The old Kentu State where the DEATH CLAIMED HER. although So Young, She Went With out a Murmur. Mrs. Beulah Marshall (nee Thompson) died at the home of her parents, 228 La Salle street, last Saturday, aug. 31, 1907. A young lady just blooming into womanhood, she was called to meet her Maker after an illness of some four or five weeks. She was married less than six months ago to the son of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, of South Louis, and both seemed, as happy as two young people could possibly be. She was the oldest daughter, and was therefore idolized by both father and mother. During her illness and just before she entered the dark portals, she was questioned by the faithful ones as to whether all was well with her soul. With her face turned to heaven, she applied that she had been ready since she was but 12 years old, and although she knew that she had done things that were not altogether right, she felt that God had forgiven her. When Father Mason spoke of prayer it seemed to arouse her. Rev. Cook spoke very feelingly and gave some very timely advice to those who survive here and all present. Father Mason also gave some very wholesome advice to her young friends. All were greatly affected by the loss of this dear young lady—schoolmates, society friends and relatives. She leaves a mother, father, four brothers, two sisters, a husband and a host of friends to mourn her. May God aid the family in this sad hour of the bereavement of their prominent daughter. May she rest in peace. Reading, Pa., Aug. 29, 1907. For oratory and spellbinding in this great Eastern city, the consensus of opinion and feeling among the delegates and those who heard the speeches of Capt. C. H. Tandy and Prof. George V. Vashon, of our city, say they have never heard such elegant speeches, with wit, pathos and good humor, as were made by those distinguished gentlemen in defense of the next meeting place of the Grand Lodge of Elks of the World. They were a relevance to those who heard them, and after the speeches were made, although four other cities were bidding for the same with strong backing, a motion was made and seconded, that St. Louis be the next meeting place of the Improved and Benevolent Order of Elks of the World. On motion and being seconded that the rules be suspended, St. Louis was chosen unanimously, with a cheer and a tiger for the city. Long may Capt. C. H. Tandy and Prof. George V. Vashon live in the hearts of this great order of Elks of the World. The Grand Lodge of U. B. F. and S. M. T. of the State of Illinois met in Rock Island August 20. Much good work was accomplished. W. A. Galines, the national grand master, was present, which was the means of adding renewed vigor to the order. The grand officers elected were as follows: John W. Monroe, Quincy, grand master; T. J. Worrick, Spring-Bield, deputy grand master; C. D. Price, of Chicago, grand secretary; Austin Cosby, Cairo, treasurer. The The State Grand Temple of the S. M. T. elected officers as follows: Mrs. Annie M. Peyton, of Chicago, grand princess; Katie Cosby, Cairo, vice princess; Emma A. Tehecon, Keokuk, grand secretary; L. Williams, Chicago, grand secretary. After which W. A. Gaines, national grand master, set up and instituted the grand royal house officers as follows: Fannie P. Monroe, of Quincy, M. E. R.; Jordan Chovis, of Chicago, noble king; Edwin Watkins, Cairo, executive scribe; Medora Byantf Jacksonville, safe keeper of finances. This closed one of the most successful sessions of the grand lodge that was ever held in the State of Illinois, and we were informed that the Bocus national grand master, Walter M. Farmer, was not present. Well, large armies move slowly but surely, and that which a man sows he will surely reap. SNOOK C. C. E. CLUB. A grand success was the C. C. E., Monday, September 2, at the grove. The usual record-breakers were there in full numbers and each vied with the other to make it the greatest picnic of the season. The gate receipts were $200. Barbecued meat and other refreshments sold in high proportion. The thousands of people were present and not a cross word was heard. We noticed many guests. Among them were the dashing Mrs. Reddick and her beautiful daughter, Hattie. Then came the pretty Mrs. Miss Hattie. Then came the pretty Mrs. Mahala Denny, who had charge of the melons and Mrs. Smith, who had charge of the ice cream, also Mrs. McGinnis, who had charge of the supper department, and who was looking as sweet as could be. Then the old warhorse, the ticket-seller, S. P. McGinnis, was at his best. If he should get out of a job the Palladium man would recommend him as ticket-seller for Barnum & Bailey's show. Willis Smith was taking tickets and performed his duty well. Blumfeld was at one gate watching the dudes jump the fence, and led them up and made them pay Mr. Woods, who was one of the ticket-takers, and performed his duties well. The bear-cat, the famous Harry Denny was on duty at the gate, the melon, ice cream, supper tables and the bar. Verily he was general overseer of the whole sheebang. The C. C. E. Club wishes to thank the public for their general support and patronage during the past year, and hopes next year to bring forth better things. FROM OUR POLITICAL REPORTER. He Is Now in the Saddle and Will Be Heard From Through the Coldmns of the St. Louis Palladium. Ask Jep Howe why he left Penn- sylvania. Who is the biggest—the Republican party or J. D. Howe? How can Judge Holtkamp be qualifi- tied to decide the equity of a case, when he has been so unfair in his own actions The Republican party of St. Louis has higher aspirations than running a reform school for Democratic renegades. We want a manager for the Republi- cans of St. Louis, not a manipulator. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1907. More recognition for the Negro voter, and less repudiated promises from the manipulator and his manekins. Let us have a Republican in charge of the local affairs of the party, not a renegade-Democrat. Put Jeptha D. Howe and all of his ilk out of the city committee; we have men of honor and truth in the party whom we can reward. Otto F. Stifel may know how to manage a brewery, but the Republican party is not composed entirely of saloon keepers, and can command advice from men who are not so plainly selfish as he has shown himself to be; and that is not saying a word about the quality of advice that he has dispensed lately. The Negro voters of St. Louis have just cause for complaint against the city central committee on account of the spirit of indifference displayed thus far toward the Negro workers in the Republican party. The Negroes worked hard and earnestly to elect the ticket last year, and by their efforts the Republicans were successful, but when the positions were distributed, out of about 240 places, the Negroes were given six. During a discussion between some of the committeemen and the chairman, Mr. Howe, as to what disposition was to be made concerning the Negro applicants, Mr. Howe remarked: "Oh, let the niggers wait, 'there are plenty of white men to be cared for;' and the 'niggers' have been waiting ever since. Howe has shown other evidences that he has not purged himself of the ideas which possessed him before leaving the Democratic party, which he did under pressure some few years ago. To illustrate: Howe and his immediate followers on the committee arranged what he termed an outing last month, and to be certain that they would not be "bothered with the niggers," the outing was held at Forest Park Highlands, where they could be kept out, and whatever of onus there would be for such action could be shifted upon the management of the park. However, it has been conclusively proven that Howe leased the park and the attractions playing there on that date for a stipulated amount, and had therefore entire control of the grounds, and consequently had the power to make and enforce the rules governing attendance on that date, all of which he did, thereby clearly demonstrating his hatred and prejudice for a class of people the votes of whom have put the Republican party in power in this city each time that the party has been successful in winning, and while we know that Mr. Howe is not much of a Republican, he is at present in charge of the affairs of that party locally, and should have more political sense than to deliberate insult and vilify the 10,000 Negro voters of St. Louis; and since he has shown how petty and narrow minded he can act, it were much better for the party to relegate him to the ranks of the "shabeens," where so many have preceded him, who were much superior to him, both to brains and ability. day night between the hours of 8 and This week we struck from our county list forty naemes, to which we have sent the paper for over eight months, and not one cent have they paid. African Vested Prophet. At the invitation of the Great Western Club, the celebrated African Prophet, Abdul Menelik Ben Hassan, will hold his annual reception at True Reformers' hall Monday evening, Sept. 30. A feature of the reception will be the election and crowning of the Queen of the East. Polls for the election are now open at True Reformers' building. Watch the Palladium for further particulars. Elks Coming to St. Louis. Messrs. George B. Vashon and Charlton H. Tandy attended as delegates the sessions of the Grand Lodge of the Order of Elks, which met last week in Reading, Pa. A number of cities of the north and east were suggested as the meeting place of the Grand Lodge next years, but Messrs. Vashon and Tandy so eloquently and logically advanced the claims of St. Louis that this city was selected by an overwhelming vote. All hall to the Elks. Orpheus Academy. The shirt waist parties at Orpheus Academy are proving more and more attractive. The "stranger within our gates" feels that his visit is incomplete if he does not visit Orpheus once at least. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS. Covenant meeting was held in the auditorium of the church last Sunday, hence everybody felt glad from the fact that the repairing which had been going on for several weeks was completed and the church was opened to the public once more. Directly after the morning covenant service Rev. R. H. Cole baptized one convert. We hope there are many more to follow. SPIRITUAL CHRISTIAN UNION. The Progressive Christian Spiritual union, under the leadership of Mr. J. S. Weatherford, Mrs. M. E. Brooks and Mrs. Dukes conducts meetings every Friday evening at Masonic Temple, 2720 Morgan street. The Christian union rejoices in the guidance of the Holy Spirit through the messengers that they have closed the mortgage on their organ and wish to thank the many friends for their support.

This section has probably more high-class stores than any residence locality of any city in the world. They carry large and varied stocks of the highest class products, their stores are distinctively metropolitan in appearance and are presided over by men who are both progressive and enterprising. One of the most progressive establishments in this section of the city is the tailoring business conducted by Mr. M. Scheffman, located at 939 North Sarah street, and popularly known as the New York Tailoring Co. He carries a full line of choice materials of the latest spring designs and aptterns, such as serges, tweeds, worsted, etc. He also makes a specialty of cleaning, dyeing and repairing. All work of this character is done in a proper manner and delivered promptly. All garments are thoroughly inspected by Mr. Scheffman before they are sent out, and he employs only the most experienced workmen. His garments have won for him a high reputation, as they are the perfection of fit, finish and durability.

A reward will be paid for their return to the Palladium office, 2617 Lawton avenue, by J. W. Wheeler, manager of said paper. Death Came and There Was No One to Say No. Dr. Crews has at last fallen a victim to the grim master, Death. After suffering for many months, he passed away Sept. 4 to the great beyond, we hope, to bask in the sunlight of our God. I plead for the decency and intelligence of my race. They nor I have nothing in common with the brute thieves and cut-throats that make up but a small part of all races. We are not in reach of admixture or social life with other races. We ask for even political and civil rights. We affirm that the "gentlemen" of the south are blind when they think they can not only deprive us of our political rights, but that they can appropriate unto themselves the power they have robbed us of, because, while the north and west may unwisely allow the south to rob us, the north and west will not allow the south to rob the north and west. With all our soul we protest as cruel that in the great north and west we can not obtain honest employment commensurate without ability to work; with all our soul we ask that our color be disregarded and that we be accepted or rejected upon our worth as men and women.

A stingless mosquito is more important anyhow. When a man speaks and acts for himself it is liberty, but when another man speaks and acts for him, it is slavery. Automobile sore eyes, produced by gazing on your neighbor's new im- ported car, is a much more common malady. Scientists have discovered in Texas a civilization believed to be older than that of ancient Egypt and considerably deader. Automobile sore throat, due to the dust kicked up by the machines, is the latest source of complaint against them down east. Women need more sleep than men, according to scientists. Then how are they able to talk all night when a fellow wants to go to sleep? There are to be four night courts in New York, to accommodate people who are too busy or too sleepy to commit their crimes in the daytime. In Kansas city a woman has got an infunction forbidding her husband to come home. That ought to make him determine to go there, if anything will. Cheer up! The storms of to-day will be banished by the sun of to-morrow, and the drooping wings of hope will flash in force and beauty in the lingering light of victory. That painting contractor who made 2,100 per cent. profit on his job on the Pennsylvania capitol must have been mad because he had to pay out some real money for paint. It has been shown that there is enough coal in the United States to last for 200 years, and still there are people who will worry about the failure of the coal supply. Every few days we have reports of people dying from eating ice cream. But the summer girl is a brave person, and there is no diminution in the demand for the summer edible. After all, it does seem strange that Nikola Tesla should have started out to try to talk with Mars first of all the heavenly bodies, when the man in the moon is so much nearer. If Adam had saved $450 every day until now he would have a fortune almost as great as John D. Rockefeller's. But he didn't, and as a consequence the Adamses are mostly poor. Scientists declare that people think with fingers and toes, and that the lower animals are capable of reasoning. It takes a very inventive mind to keep in the running as a scientist these days. The observer who watched 152 women alight from street cars and reports that only eight of them got off correctly, facing in the direction the cars were going, must have a lot of time to spare. If heavy crape adorns the door of your favorite boarding house do not go in and try to console the mistress. Leave her alone in her deep sorrow. Doubtless she has just heard that the prune crop is short. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has discovered that coffee, oat hulls and ground corn cobs figure in the composition of certain patent foods. Most consumers have suspected the existence of bran and exsciol, but corn cobs are a new element. Perhaps they are put in to prevent the diet from being too concentrated, on the same principle that stock raisers add a judicious mixture of cornstalks or other "roughage" to the oats and corn fed to their cattle. The camera, which serves so many useful and interesting purposes, has now been promoted to the dignified office of referee in athletic contests. At a recent meeting of the Southwestern Amateur Rowing Association it was voted that henceforth, at contests held by the association, a competent photographer, with the most modern and efficient camera, should photograph the finish of each event. There have been so many close finishes and unsatisfactory decisions in the past, declares the Youth's Companion, that it is hoped in this way to provide referees with indisputable evidence. Aguinaldo, according to Justice McCabe of the First District court of the Philippines, now lives quietly on his farm near Manila, refrains from politics, and, as a loyal citizen of the United States, is setting his people the best of examples. An Ohio man, lenesome in the absence of his mother-in-law, has resorted to an action in habeas corpus to bring her back to his home, avering that she is restrained against her will from returning.

A TRIBUTE TO M'KINLEY WHITE MARBLE OBELISK ERECT ED TO MARTYRED PRESID DENT UNVEILED. CANUCK TROOPS IN LINE Shaft Commemorates Chief Executive's Death While Attending Exposition —Flags of America and England Entwined. Buffalo, N. Y.—The handsome white of President McKinley, who was assassinated in this city was dedicated with solemn and impressive ceremonies. The presence of Gov. Charles E. Hughes, the two battalions of the Twelfth United States infantry and the Sixty-fifth and Seventy-fourth regiments, N. Y. N. G., and a number of distinguished guests and speakers, lent a dignity to the ceremonies that will make the day a memorable one. Flags of England and America were entwined in one decorations about the city. The handsome tribute to the memory of the martyred president was unveiled and dedicated Thursday afternoon. Shortly before, Governor Hughes, Chairman E. H. Butler and members of the monument commission were escorted from the home of Mr. Butler to the monument by the visiting troops. After a brief reception the governor was driven to the home of Mr. Butler, where he was the guest at luncheon, and remained until escorted to the monument. In front of the residence the marcheoning salute was given Governor Hughes, and at Huron street the soldiers gave the salute to the G. A. R. and the Spanish war veterans, who participated in the ceremony. The ceremony opened with prayer by Right Rev. William D. Walker bishop of the Episcopal diocese of western New York. Mayor James N. Adam, Hon. Harlan J. Swift, department commander of the G. A. R., and Mrs. Donald McLean, president general of the national society, Daughters of the American Revolution, delivered addresses. Then Mrs. Trueman G. Avery pulled a cord and the flag drapings of the obelisk dropped. E. H. Butler then, on behalf of the monument commission, presented the memorial to the state, and it was accepted by Governor Charles E. Hughes. FIFTEEN LOST IN HOTEL FIRE. Seven Bodies Have Been Recovered From Ruins at Shelton, Wash. Tacoma, Wash.—Fire destroyed the Webb hotel at Shelton, 20 miles from Tacoma. It is reported 15 persons perished. Miss Bailey and Mrs. Mudge, both of Shelton, are known to be among the missing. All the other victims are believed to be men. Seven bodies have been recovered. Takes Acid On Street Marion, Ill.—William Morrissey, living with his family at White Row, near this city, while upon the public square, drank carbolic acid and fell to the sidewalk unconscious. He was removed to an undertaking establishment, where he died. The man was employed by the Peabody Coal Co. No cause for his action has been learned. Cardinal Escapes Riot; Castel Gandolfo—While Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secretary of state, was driving to this place from Rome several men on a passing tram car hooted him and shouted "Death to the pope," "Down with the cardinal," and gave utterance to curses and other insulting expressions. The police quelled the disturbance. Fined for Giving Passes. Little Rock, Ark.—Fines aggregating $10,000 have been imposed by Judge Winfield against the Iron Mountain Railroad company for issuing free transportation over the road to members of the legislature during the session of 1905. The cases, five in number, were instituted by Prosecuting Attorney Rhoten. The fine imposed was $2,000 in each case. Firemen Overcome by Smoke. Auburn, N. Y.—A dozen firemen including assistant Chief George A. Platt, and Captain P. J. Morrisise, were temperarily overcome by smoke in a fire at the Columbia Cordage plant here Wednesday. The damage is $100,000. The building contained 57,000 bales of cordage which were ready for shipment. Denies Mutiny on the Raleigh. Denies Mutiny on the Raleigh. San Francisco—Capt. J. M. Helm, U. S.

THE BRAZEN SERPENT Sunday School Lesson for Sept. 8, 1907 Specially Prepared for This Paper LESSON TEXT.—Numbers 21:9. Memory verse 9. GOLDEN TEXT.—"As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up; that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life."—John 3:14-15. TIME.—More than 38 years after our last lesson. Aaron died on the first day of the fifth month (July-August) of the fortieth year since leaving Egypt (Num. 33:38). The fiery serpents attacked the people a few weeks later, in September (B. C. 1452, according to the common codex). PLACE.—Aaron died at Mount Hor, on the border of the Edom range, along the eastern border of the Arabah. The serpents were in the great deep and broad valley called the Arabah, south of the Dead sea, and extending to the eastern arm of the Red sea. Comment and Suggestive Thought. We left the Israelites, in our last lesson, at Kadesh Barnea, on the border of the south land of Palestine and the northern border of the great desert of Paran. They had refused, through fear and unbelief, to go up and take possession of their inheritance, and were condemned to remain in the desert for 38 years longer, till all over 20 years of age had died. They arrived at Kadesh about a year and three months after the exodus, and left it nine months before taking possession of Canaan. During these years "Kadesh was probably their central nucleus or rendezvous. They would naturally change their locality from time to time, like the Bedouins of all ages, but still cherishing the hope of eventually becoming possessors of the land of promise. Meantime they are not to be conceived as dwelling, in their intervals of repose, in a compact camp, which the nature of the country forbade to such an immense multitude, but as expatating in bands, here and there, over the adjacent country, still having the tabernacle as the center and the rendezvous to which they would return."—Bush. Some of these wanderings are given in Num. 33:19-36, extending as far south as Ezion Geber on the eastern arm of the Red sea (1 Kings 9:26). Some of the events recorded during his period are: 1. Korah's Rebellion (Numbers 16), which grew out of the long delay and disappointed hopes. 2. Aaron's rod budded (Numbers 17) to prove that Aaron was the divinely chosen high priest. 3. The death of Miriam, the sister of Moses (Num. 20:1). 4. Water from the rock at Meribah and the sin of Moses that kept him from entering the promised land (Num. 20:2-13). "And the people spake against God, and against Moses." Their bitter feelings grew so strong that they were expressed in words. Their former murmurings at Kadesh had been treated leniently, and water had been supplied, apparently at their angry demand. They seem to have interpreted the miracle there as an instance of mercy in spite of their wicked course, but as a response to it; and they therefore now repeated the experiment of insurrection. Thus the Israelites tempted God (1 Cor. 10:9; Heb. 3:9). They put his patience and forbearance to the test, and did all they could to make him give them up as hopeless. The Fiery Serpents of Sin.—No better emblem of the results of sin could have been given to the Israelites, or to us. "The true, peculiar, pernicious, fiery serpents were their murmuring disposition and complaints against Jehovah."—Lange. Sin is like a fiery serpent, often beautiful in appearance, and secret in its approach. But the effects are pains that only fire can express. Repentance and Salvation.—Vs. 7-9. Confession. V. 7. "We have sinned." The evil effects of sin made them feel conscious of their sin and its greatness. The real evil is the sin, and not the punishment. But it is only by the punishment that men realize the evil of sin itself. "Against the Lord, and against thee." All crimes against man are sins against God. And all sins against God work wrong to man. "And Moses prayed for the people," expressing their desires and feelings. There is real power in intercessory prayer. Their praying made it wise and safe to give blessings that would have been an injury to those who had not the spirit of prayer. One of the objects of the punishment was to turn their hearts to God. The Cure—Note in what a peculiar and yet blessed way the prayer was answered; not by removing the serpents, as they probably expected, but by a way that healed their souls as well as their bodies. So Paul's "thorn in the flesh" was not removed, but God's grace was made to abound as a blessed fruit growing on that stem. As the sin and punishment of the Israelites were the fruits of unbelief, the true method of help was first to restore faith and then healing. Practical Points. Christ crucified is the most conspicuous object in the history of the world. It is the center around which the whole moral and religious warfare of the world is gathered. The power did not lie in the brazen serpent, but in God himself who could bestow healing upon those who showed by their looking up to it at his Word that they believed in God and repented of their sin. Salvation was by faith, the only way in which free pardon can be offered without increasing the sin of the world. Manager Saw the Possibilities in the Situation. Jim Johnstone, the famous baseball umpire, said recently in New York that baseball crowds were far kinder to umpires than they used to be. "This is type of theater crowds, too," said Mr. Johnstone. "Why, with provincial touring companies in the past, maltreatment was regularly expected. In fact, the companies profited by it in more ways than one. "I know of a company that was playing 'The Broken Vow' in Paint Rock, a one night stand. The audience didn't like 'The Broken Vow,' and eggs, cabbages and potatoes rained upon the stage. "Still the play went on. The hero raved through his endless speeches, dodging an onion or a baseball every other minute, and pretty sore from those missiles that he hadn't been able to dodge. "But finally a gallery auditor in a paroxysm of rage and scorn hurled a heavy boot, and the actor, thoroughly alarmed, started to retreat. "Keep on playing, you fool,' hissed the manager from the wings, as he hooked in the boot with an umbrella. 'Keep on till we get the other one.'" PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN. The Public Should Have Them Translated by the Druggists. What virtue is there in the secrecy with which the doctor hedges about his profession? "Professional etiquette" occupies a prominent place in the curriculum of every medical school, and when strictly analyzed "professional etiquette" seems to mean "doing what is best for the doctor, individually and collectively." Among the things that "is best for the doctor" is the writing of his prescriptions in Latin, and thus keeping the public in ignorance not only of what it is taking for its ills, but forcing a call upon the doctor each time a prescription is needed. In plain and unmistakable English the writing of prescriptions in Latin makes business for the doctors. Let us say that you have the ague. You had it last year and the year before. Each time you have visited the doctor and he has prescribed for you —in Latin. You have never known what he has given you for the disease, and so each time you are forced to go to him again and give him an opportunity to repeat his prescription—in Latin, and his fee—in dollars. If you ask the doctor why he uses Latin in writing his prescriptions, why he writes "aqu" when he means water, he will give you a technical dissertation on the purity of the Latin language, and the fact that all words are derived from it, etc. It will be a dissertation that you may not be able to answer, but it will hardly convince you. It would be a good thing for the public to devise a little code of ethics of its own; ethics that will be "a good thing for the public individually and collectively." Let us apply one of the rules of this code of ethics to you, the individual. You call in the physician when you have the ague, the gripe, or any of the other ills to which human flesh is heir, and which you may have again some day. The doctor prescribes—in Latin, and you take this, to you, meaningless scribble to the druggist to have it compounded. Right here is where you come in, if you are wise. Say to the druggist that you want a translation of that prescription. It is your privilege to know what you are taking. While the doctor's code of ethics may not recognize this right it is yours just the same. With the translated prescription in your possession you have two distinct advantages. You know what you are taking, and should you wish to call some other doctor at some time you will be able to tell him what drugs you have been putting into your system, and also if you should have the same disease again you can save yourself a visit to the doctor, and his fee, by taking this translated prescription to the druggist once more and having it refilled. Sure to Have One. Lincoln Steffens, in an address on municipal politics, said in Chicago of a certain city: "That city is as notorious for its rottenness as the town of Pebbles is notorious for another characteristic. "Here is an incident that will give you an idea of the reputation of Pebbles. "On a train one day a man rushed into a car, held up his hand for attention, and shouted excitedly: "'Anybody here who belongs to Pebbles?' "'Aye; I do,' said a small, dry old fellow calmly. "Then,' said the other, 'lend us yer corkscrew.'" Why He Was Jolly. Bidder met Kidder, and Kidder was just bubbling with good humor. "What are you feeling so uncommon jolly over?" said Bidder. "Why, my best girl went and got married yesterday," said Kidder, slapping Bidder on the back. "Seems to me that's about the last thing for a chap to feel jolly over," said Bidder. "What!" said Kidder. "It was me she went and got married to!" And so the cigars were on Bidder.—Browning's Magazine. Granite as Fertilizer.

We would call the attention of the lovers of skating to the fact that there are two rinks now existing in St. Louis conducted by Colored men. The very best of feeling exists between the proprietors of these rinks, each speaking in the very highest terms of the other and their rinks. It now remains for the public to do likewise. The rinks are at least a mile apart, representing the west and east, so let the public come out and help them push their business in order to enable them to employ more young Negro men. We sincerely trust there will be no contention. Just help both and you will help the race. The Star Roller Rink has again opened for business at 3311 Olive street. Messrs. Alvin Wylie and Alfred McClun, proprietors. These gentlemen have remodeled and fitted up this rink, making it very inviting in appearance. The best of order will prevail. We call special attention to the attractian which will be on their billboard for two or three nights in the week. Don't fail to patronize 3311 Olive street. Good music at both matinees and evenings. A GOOD INVESTMENT. We are pleased to see that some men who have a few thousand dollars to spend are building flats for the accommodation of the Negroes of our city. It is a well-known fact that Negroes pay more rent and pay it better than the majority of the middle class of whites and still can not obtain decent homes to live in. Quite a number of houses are being erected for our people and in very good neighborhoods. Mr. Davie of 320 Fullerton building has a number of houses on Fairfax avenue, east of Newstead. We trust more will follow, as we would all like to have respectable homes in respectable neighborhoods, especially when rent is properly paid. Mrs. Effie Chandler is now conducting a beautiful cafe at 2013 Market street. Mrs. Chandler is from Joplen Mo., and has been here in our city for three years, and is an industrious and business character in every particular. She was formerly doorkeeper at Brooks' skating rink, and is acknowledged to be a wonderful reader of human nature. She is now in business at 2013 Market street. Give her a call. See her ad. in another column. A MISSOURI NEGRO ON TOP. The Pioneer Negro Architect in the United States—J. A. Lankford as an Architect and Builder. A Young Man Who Has and Is Giving His Entire Life to the Scientific, Practical and Mechanical Uplift of His Race. It is true that for the past decade there have been Negroes who have in a small degree made plans and worked in schools and for a few white architectural firms as draftsmen, but not until some five years ago, when J. A. Lankford went to Washington and opened a first-class architectural and building office in the heart of the business section of the city, hung out his shingle, filled his office with drafting tables and architectural supplies and employed draftsmen, stenographers and clerks, was there ever a first-class Negro architectural office in the United States. Mr. Lankford's main office is today located at 317 Sixth avenue northwest, Washington, D. C. He has also 12 branch offices throughout the United States. He was the pioneer Negro in this country to open a first-class architectural office and today he stands out as the leading and most prominent architect and builder we have. He has a large three story and basement brick office building in the heart of the business section of the District of Columbia, and here you will find his of fices, laboratory and work shop. Mr. Lankford went to Washington to design and supervise the construction of the True Reformer building, the largest and most costly building of the kind designed, built, owned and operated by Negroes. This building is of a classic design, being 100 feet long, sixty feet wide and four stories and basement in height, and is a very imposing structure. According to True Reformer real estate report, it has been a success from a financial standpoint since its completion. In the construction of this building, Mr. Lankford worked all Negro mechanics, and this alone was enough to make him famous, for it revolutionized the work along mechanical lines for the Negroes in the District of Columbia. Since that time in the District of Columbia practically every door has been opened to the Negro mechanic, where they have proven themselves to be skilled. The government had at work a few months ago over twenty-five Negro bricklayers on the war and navy and agricultural buildings. The True Reformer building was the strongest argument which proved that these bricklayers were perfectly competent and capable of doing any class and character of brick work, and today the race has more skilled Negro mechanics in the District of Columbia than any other city in the Union. Mr. Lankford has not only revolutionized the mechanical work among Negroes in the District, but to a great degree aided the Negro mechanics throughout the country; for in any locality where he happened to design or supervise or build, he always works Negro mechanics, demonstrating the fact in that community that the Negro mechanic are fully competent to do any class of architectural or mechanical work. The following are some of the buildings which Lankford & Bro. have designed, supervised or built during the past year: The Good Hope building, of a very classical Roman design, to be built in Baltimore, Md. It consists of a department store, printing office, opera house, drug store, laundry, office rooms and sixteen lodgerooms for the Good Hope order. It will cost $150,000. St. John's A. M. E.

Mr. Lankford is a young man of ability, pluck and skill, having finished seven trades before he went into the architectural work. After finishing the public schools at his native home, Potosi, Mo., where he worked on a farm and in the mines, he studied seven years in the Missouri state college, Jefferson City, Mo., where he finished five trades, and took a special course in natural and chemical science. He then went to Tuskegee, where he finished steam fitting and foundry work and specialized in natural science and electrical work. He also finished an architectural and building course at Scranton, Pa. He has been connected as a teacher with three of the best Negro institutions in the south, having put in over $25,000 worth of machinery in the A. and M. college at Normal, Ala.; also put in over $100,000 worth of machinery in the Coleman cotton mills, Concord, N.

W. C. Coleman, in speaking of Mr. Lankford, recommending him to the president of Shaw university, said: "Mr. J. A. Lankford is the best Negro cotton mill mechanic in the United States, probably in the world." After finishing putting in the Coleman cotton mill machinery, he went to Shaw university as professor of naturay science and superintendent of the industrial department. Mr. Lankford has received three honorary degrees for meritorious work, the last being master of science from Wilberforce university in 1902, and was elected vice president at Topeka, Kas., of the National Business League, of which Booker T. Washington is president. He never depended on anyone to aid him through school, for he was born of poor, but honest parents, from whom he inherited many of his honest traits.

While at Tuskegee he worked in the foundry and steam-fitting department and as an amateur photographer to pay for his board, and if he is accomplished, he owes the cold world but a little for his many accomplishments. He has not only been successful as an architect and builder, but it is said he pays taxes on $25,000 worth of real estate in Washington, D. C. Every Negro in America should be proud of this young Negroe's accomplishments and see to it that he has a chance on designing and building of the many costly structures being designed and built in this country from the money of Negroes.

Last Wednesday night, in a certain cafe, a matron or a railroad portress took the rag off the bush. Two married men were involved. One lived in New York. They looked as if they would go crazy over this yellow Negro woman. Oh, you ought to have seen them! They were as spoony on her as nursing kittens. Three Negro men and a matron, or a railroad portress, left a certain restaurant walked up to Jefferson, and down Jefferson into Olive street, and there she told them that she saw the Palladium man. They came over as we turned to go into Knight's jewelry store. They said nothing, neither of the three men and one woman, all railroad men and woman. Where did you want to go last Wednesday night, September 4? Look out! The man in the restaurant was showing a picture and said it was his wife. I wonder whether he thought of her when he was hugging that matron or railroad portress on Olive street last Wednesday night. You might be taken down in the "black Maria" if you do that much in st.

Seattle, Wash.—Dispatches from Alaska state that Japanese seal poachers are terrorizing the residents of the coast, and have become so bold as to defy the efforts of the government to prevent their thievery. They are also striking terror to the hearts of the people in the sparsely settled region by pillaging whole towns. The United States revenue cutter service is entirely inadequate to cope with the Japanese, and they are taking advantage of this condition. Seals are being killed with impunity. Conspiracy against the inhabitants is an ordinary occurrence. The United States government has been informed of these conditions, but it did not become known until recently that the sealers were so numerous and bold as to defy the authorities. The three revenue cutters, McCullough, Manning and Perry, are doing duty on the Behring sea, consequently the Pacific coast of Alaska is unprotected. In 1906 five poachers were killed in Alaska, being shot while resisting arrest. Only recently a band of Japanese thieves was caught robbing the town of Uguliak. They had even stripped the church of gold ornaments, when the white inhabitants returned. The Japanese fled as soon as a white man got within shooting distance of them. FOUR MIDDIES DISMISSED Chorus Girls and Shore Environments Too Alluring For Annapolis Boys. Washington, D. C.—The names of four midshipmen whose dismissal from the Naval Academy was recently recommended by Superintendent Bader have become known. They are Joseph Eliot Austin of New York, first class; George Frederick Humbert of Pennsylvania, third class; Oscar C. Salb of Indiana and C. C. Riner of Wyoming, fourth class. Humbert is accused of having a substitute answer for him at roll call that he might remain ashore all night during the recent cruise of the midshipmen while in the vicinity of New London, Conn., and Bath, Me. While the exact nature of Austin's offense is not known, it pertained to his remaining away from ship overnight. Chorus girls are alleged to have induced Salb and Riner to overstay their leave. COMPOSER GREIG DEAD. Famous Author and Conductor Passes Away in Bergen, Aged 64. Copenhagen — Edward Hagerup Greig, the noted composer, died at his home in Bergen, Norway. Greig was born in Bergen in 1843, of Scotch ancestry. Both his grandfather and father were British consuls in Bergen. He was educated at the Leipzig conservatory under Moscheles, Hauptmann and Richter, and later studied in Copenhagen under Hartmann and Neilys Gade. He conducted the Birmingham festival in 1888, performed in Paris in 1903, and was the author of many literary works as well as a great composer. NAME BALLOON ENTRIES. Conference at Brussels Sept. 12 Will Select St. Louis Contests. St. Louis—Final preparations for the international balloon race to be held at St. Louis Oct. 21 and the definite naming of all the foreign representatives will be made at the coming conference of the International Aeronautical Federation to be held in Brussels Sept. 12. America will be represented by Cortlandt Field Bishop, president of the Aero Club of America and Frank S. Lahm, father of Lieut. Frank P. Lahm, who won the Gordon Bennett trophy last year, and whose victory has forced the foreigners to come to this country and endeavor to carry the cup back to Europe. Losses in Japanese Flood. Toklo—The following is an official statement of the loss of life and damage caused by the recent floods: Killed, 348; injured, 70; missing, 173; buildings destroyed, 1,337; partially destroyed, 1,376; washed away, 3,142; flooded, 173,339; embankments broken, 1,570; bridges washed away, 976. Rice and other crops suffered heavily in the flooded districts, but it is believed that the rice crop of the whole country will be slightly above the average. Exonerated for Killing Black Hand. Blairsville, Pa.—Frank Ciepinno, a shoemaker, who shot and killed one of the three alleged members of the Black Hand society, who attempted to blackmail him, was exonerated by a coroner's jury on the grounds of self defense.

THE CHURCH AT WORK Peace to him that is near and to him ERE half the power that fills the world with terror. Were half the wealth be- sisted in camps and courts. Given to redeem the human mind from error. There were no need of the senal or forts; The warrior's name would be a name a b- hered! And every nation that should treat ERE half the power that fills the world with terror. Down the dark future, through long gen- erations. The bells sounds grow fainter and then cease; And like a bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations, I hear once more the voice of Christ say, "Peace!" Peace! and no longer from its brazen por- ture the blast of War's great organ shakes the skies! Putin's songs of the immortals, the holy melodies of love arise. -H. W. Longfellow. BETTER THAN THEY KNEW. How a Church That Trusted in the Lord Was Vindicated. A congregation in a hilly district in Ohio bought a small tract of land and erected a church building upon it. Then the question of insurance came up, says the Youth's Companion. Mr. Sipes, the wealthiest member, who had contributed half the money needed for the new structure, declared that he did not believe in insurance. "This is the Lord's building. He'll take care of it," he said. His view prevailed, and there was no insurance. In a few weeks the building was struck by lightning and almost totally consumed by fire. Mr. Sipes contributing the greater portion of the fund, as before. This time the demand was almost unanimous that it be insured, but Mr. Sipes again objected on the same ground. "If it burns down again, brethren," he said, "I'll agree to rebuild it myself." Again he carried his point. In less than a month the new church was struck by lightning again and although strenuous efforts were made to save it, the loss was almost total. "There must be some reason for this, brethren," said Brother Sipes. "I am going to find out what it is." Thereupon he employed a force of men to sink a shaft on the site of the twice-destroyed church. Within a few days a rich vein of iron ore was found, and the church property was sold for many times the amount needed to buy land in another locality and build again. "I tell you, brethren," said Brother Sipes, "it pays to trust the Lord. He's a great deal better business manager than anybody in this congregation." THY KINGDOM COME. Mrs. T. MacKnight, late of Teneriffe, Canary islands, writes: These islands are now an open field. They include seven islands. Canary, Teneriffe, Fuenteventure, Lanzarote, Palma, Hierro and Gomera. There is a call for evangelical work everywhere, and for school work in both Teneriffe and Canary." The National Plant, Flower and Fruit guild of New York distributes flowers among the sick and poor, in hospitals and in homes. Last year it gave out 365,853 bunches of summer flowers, 34,515 bunches of function flowers, 8,990 plants and 1,484 bulbs. Rev. Antonio B. Carrero, a preacher of the Mexican Evangelical church, writes that the Gospel is making excellent progress in that country. His own church, in Mexico City, has 150 members. E. Tennyson Smith, the well-known English evangelist, has sailed for England, after a most successful world tour, which included the United States, Australia and New Zealand. He will return to this country in 1908. Dr. Clark found seven Christian Endeavor societies in Chile in his recent tour of South America—one English-speaking and six Spanish. Spoiled the Scene. One night at a country theater Mrs. Siddons was "taking the poison" in the last act of some gloomy tragedy, when a boor in the gallery called out: "That's right, Molly, soop it oop, ma lass." French Protestantism French Protestantism is now more powerful, more energetic and more successful than it has been for a hundred years. In the beginning of the nineteenth century the French Protestant church numbered only 171 pastors, and now there are more than 1,200; then there were only 78 churches, and now there are 1,185, with fully 800 more preaching places Speer's Experience "I date my personal experience of the Christian life from my reception of the missionary spirit." result is less suffering and more children healthy at birth. For more than thirty years Notewhat Mrs. James Chester of 427 W. 35th St. New York says in this letter: "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I wish every expectant mother knew about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Although there is a great effort made to keep secret the thefts in hotels and restaurants in New York, it is quite evident they are on a rapid increase. The manager of a large restaurant says the system of having servants depend almost entirely upon patrons for their pay lowers their moral standard and causes them to look on those they are supposed to serve as their legitimate prey. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. Pointed Conversation. "Yes, going away. But before I go I have something to say to you." "Something to say to me, little wife?" "Yes, something to say to you.

It is estimated that 21,000,000 acres are available for rice growing in Louisiana and Texas, and the value of such crop would be $400,000,000.

KAHSAS CITY, MO. A. N. K.—B (1907-36] 219 NEWS OF MISSOURI NEW FEATURE AT STATE FAIR. Prize Stock Judging Contest For Missouri Young Men Under 25. Sedalia, Mo.—One of the new features of this year's Missouri State Fair, to be held here Cet. 5-11, is a prize stock judging contest for Missouri young men under 25 years of age, including agricultural college students who have never participated in a state or interstate prize contest of like character. These "clinics" will have for subjects the registered fine stock on exhibition here. Cash prizes of $20, $15, $10 and $5 will be awarded for the relatively highest totals of "points" on horses and mules, beef breeds of cattle, dairy cattle, sheep and swine—$250 cash for the five classes—the score cards of the contestants to be rated by a committee of experts. The increasing popularity of fairs and stock shows has created a demand for expert live stock judges far in excess of the supply, and these prize competitions are intended to stimulate technical preparation for such work. Entries for these contest, which are limited to Missourians, must be made with Secretary J. R. Rippey in this city before Sept. 25. At its meeting in this city a few days ago the fair board agreed upon the program and the designation of the various days of the coming exhibition. Saturday, Oct. 5, will be "Opening Day;" Sunday, unlike at other state fairs, the gates are closed to the public; Monday, "Old Settlers' Day;" Tuesday, Sedalia Day;" Wednesday, "Governor's Day;" Thursday, "Missouri Day;" Friday, "Fraternal Day." All live stock entries close on Sept. 28 and all exhibits of every character are required to be in place by the evening of the 4th, ready for the opening on the 5th. Many of the crack herds of fine stock that won prizes at the Iowa State Fair at Des Moines last week are already entered here and represent nine of the leading western states. Lightning Starts $7,300 Fire Mountain Grove—During a thunderstorm lightning struck the building owned by J. A. Cover, and occupied by W. C. Ellis, in the livery and feed business, burning the barn, a one-story frame building adjoining on the south, occupied by Saunders and Millsap, undertakers; the two-story frame warehouse across Second street, owned by W. H. Schofield and occupied by different parties as a warehouse, and the two-story frame dwelling of Ruth A. Griffin. The residence of Susan Fraley was damaged. The total loss was $7,300, wf insurance of $3,500. Joplin Mines to Close. Joplin—As a result of the meeting of the operators of the Missouri-Kansas mining district, held in Webb City, an indefinite shutdown has been decided upon, to remain in force until the metal markets adjust themselves on a more profitable basis. The decision of the operators is not from any quarrel with the ore buyers, but because of the prices at which lead and spatter are selling. Already about two-thirds of the mines in the district have promised to shut down for four weeks. Bathing Party Has Fatal Ending Klimnswick—Fred Seineman, Jr., aged 11 years, son of Frederick Seineman, formerly in business in St. Louis, was drowned while bathing in the Mississippi river. He was with his father, mother, brother and a party of friends. The lad went too far into the current and was unable to get back. In attempting to rescue him the father sank and was only saved by the timely arrival of citizens in a skiff. Lewis to Resume Magazine Issue. St. Louis—E. G. Lewis, proprietor of the Woman's Magazine, announced that his periodical which, denied second-class mail privilege, ceased publishing several months ago, would be issued again, beginning with the October number. He will make application to the postoffice department for the second-class privilege again. He believes the request will be granted. Treasury Balance $1,376,411.40. Jefferson City—State Treasurer Gmelich submitted to the governor his monthly report. This shows a balance to the credit of the state of $1,376,410.40. The balance July 31 was $2,700,449.86. During August the receipts were $416,108.78, with disbursements amounting to $1,740,147.24 Bolte Coming to St. Louis. Union—A farewell reception was tendered to former Lieutenant Governor A. H.

Robinson, general manager of the hominy mills at Fifth and Monterey streets, before the plant burned, is locked up at the central police station for investigation. He is suspected by S. Conger, an aged man who lives at Mahaska, Kas., of stealing $55 from his room in the Union Depot hotel. Robinson stoutly denies the theft. He was formerly wealthy, and married a daughter of the president of the hominy trust. Don't cost him wealth, his family and health. DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

Not Entire The aeronaut, after painfully extricating himself from the wrecked balloon, limped to the nearest farm-house. "Madam," he said to the woman who answered his knock, "can you accommodate with a night's lodging a balloonist who has come to grief?" "I'd be glad to," she hesitated, "but you are an entire stranger to—" "Not an entire one," he interrupted, with some acerbity. "For I have left my left car, three teeth, and certain portions of my nose back there with the ruined car." Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch 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. A Base Insinuation. "I hear the Neweds have had a dreadful quarrel and that the bride is talking of going home to her mother. What's the matter?" "I believe one evening she got the supper from her cooking school recipes, and when the boys in the neighborhood lost their ball in a hole under the fence, Mr. Newed gave them one of her biscuits to finish the game." Great Discovery Announced. Sir William Crookes, as a result of his own researches and the experiments of Professors Krowalski and Moscicki, of Freiburg university, has discovered a process of extracting nitric acid from the atmosphere. The process is available for commercial, industrial and agricultural purposes, and is expected to revolutionize the nitrate industry and the world's food problem. "The Carthagenian mercenaries," he said, "encased their prisoners in a cement that, as it hardened, contracted. You can't imagine how uncomfortable this was. "Oh, yes, I can," she answered.

She Had Curious Habits. When a person has to keep the feet out from under cover during the coldest nights in winter because of the heat and prickly sensation, it is time that coffee, which causes the trouble, be left off. There is no end to the nervous conditions that coffee will produce. It shows in one way in one person and in another way in another. In this case the lady lived in S. Dak. She says: "I have had to lie awake half the night with my feet and limbs out of the bed on the coldest nights, and felt afraid to sleep for fear of catching cold. I had been troubled for years with twitching and jerking of the lower limbs, and for most of the time I have been unable to go to church or to lectures because of that awful feeling that I must keep on the move. "When it was brought to my attention that coffee caused so many nervous diseases, I concluded to drop coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to see if my trouble was caused by coffee drinking. "I only drank one cup of coffee for breakfast but that was enough to do the business for me. When I quit it my troubles disappeared in an almost miraculous way. Now I have no more of the jerking and twitching and can sleep with any amount of bedding over me and sleep all night, in sound, peaceful rest. "Postum Food Coffee is absolutely worth its weight in gold to me." "There's a Reason." Read the little health classic, "The Road to Well-sile" in pkgs. You Look Prematurely Old JAMIE WASTED NO TIME. Youthful Philosopher Had Carefully Thought Out Situation. It was Jamie's bath night. He had several each week and he hated them all. On this particular night, once started, he soaked and splashed in the tub for a full half hour, then his mother haled him forth. He came out of the room in his pajamas with his face all streaked and dirty as it was when he in went. "Mercy!" cried his mother. "I thought you took a bath." "So I did!" answered Jamie scornfully. "A bully one!" "But your face is black!" said his mother. "Oh!" Jamie smiled understandingly. "My face is all right. I have to wash that in the morning, bath or no bath. You don't s'pose I'm going to waste time bathing my face! I always begin just below my ears and work down on my arms and legs; but I always leave my face and hands—those ends I 'tend to in the morning!" CHILDREN TORTURED. Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema —Boy Tortured by Poison Oak— Both Cured by Cuticura. "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. "In July of this year a little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Walden's Ridge Tenn., Oct. 13, 1905." Been Lald Away in Stockings.

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. A Knock.

Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health.

Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Charles H. Hatcher.

Douglas shoes are worn by more people in all walks of life than any other make, is because of their excellent style, easy-fitting, and superior wearing qualities. The shoes feature a leather sole and short material of the shoe, and every detail of the making is looked after by the most complete organization of superintendents, foremen and skilled shoemakers, who receive the highest wages paid in the country and whose workmanship is known.

All these things has he done. Some people believe that we should not deal with any other people but our own race.
