Anderson of 4233A Kennerly avenue, left on the 12th for Washington, D. C., to attend the National Baptist convention and will visit the exposition and Mr. and Mrs. Thos. H. Ware of Jamestown. He will also visit Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Gregg of New York city before returning home. Mrs. Susan Myers of Nashville, Tenn., is visiting her son, Mr. John Myers, of 2631 Scott avenue. She expects to visit Kansas City and other cities in Missouri before her return home. We hope she will have a pleasant trip. Little Miss Katie Shelby of 2220 Chestnut street is one of the most popular young ladies in that part of the city. She will leave soon to visit friends in Hot Springs, Ark. Mrs. Maggie Wilbert of Randolph street is quite shy of peddlers. Keep that way, sister. Mrs. Francis Pruitt of Randolph street, west of Jefferson avenue, is quite depressed in mind because her beau is away. We say to her, "Cheer up, dear lady, for there are other pebbles on the beach." The program rendered at St. Paul last Snuday night was indeed interesting, and a tremendous audience was present. Mrs. Josie D. Baker of 1724 North Eleventh street entertained Mrs. Ethel B. Smith of Memphis, Tenn. Miss Arrie Johnson of 1324 Spruce street has been very ill for several days. We hope for her recovery. Miss Louise B. Brown of Klinoch Park, Mo., is visiting relatives and friends in Columbia, Mo. We wish her a pleasant trip. Dr. T. A. Curtis, the dentist, has just returned from a pleasant trip to Louisville and other cities of note, and is at his old stand over Wright Bolen's, corner Jefferson and Lawton avenues, where he will be pleased to see many patients. Miss Annie Russell has returned from her vacation looking well. All prosperous men and women in business, I've no doubt, like a little pleasure, and I know Miss Russell, after pondering over books for days, weeks and months, needed rest, and now on her return she has settled down to business.

Mrs. Vera Finney of 2608 Leffing-well avenue left for Denver Col. last Wednesday to visit her mother, who is very sick. We hope for the latter's early recovery. Mr. A. N. Johnson, formerly of Mobile, Ala., who has been prospecting around the country, has at last located at Nashville Tenn. He has set up in business at 423 Cedar street, in the Boyd building. It is acknowledged to be the finest establishment in the south. We wish him a prosperous journey through life with all classes of people. Mrs. Lida Person, of 5338 Bulwar avenue, has just returned from Chicago and other places East. She spent three weeks of real pleasure. She is looking well. The question isn't can you,but will you, spend just 3 minutes of your leisure time; one to read and two to consider a proposition that no other Roller Rink, dance hall or place of amusement for colored people makes, except the Star Roller Rink at 3311 Olive St. We claim to be able to serve you better and give you more real pleasure than you can possibly get anywhere else for the same monew. Now we either can or cannot do it. If we can, your gain in pleasure will be equal, if not more than ours, and if we can't, it isn't going to cose you a cent to find it out. We know what we can do. All we want is a chance to prove it. Not at your expense, but ours. We are very anxious to secure your patronage, and with the hope of getting you as one of our regular attendants we are going to make you an unusual proposition, such as no other roller rink, dance hall or place of amusement for Colored dare make, except the Star Roller Rink, 331-13 Olive street. Now we don't ask you to spend your money at the Star Roller Rink simply because we say it will pay you better than any other place of its kind. We don't ask you to spend your money at the Star Roller Rink because you think it will pay you best to do so; but we feel quite sure that you will willingly spend all the money that you have to spend in that way at the Star Roller Rink, as soon as you know positively that it will pay you best to do so. The skating rink business isn't a gambling scheme, nor confidence game with us. It is a gilt-edged money-making proposition, and all we want is a chance to prove it. That's all. All we want you to do is to pay the Star a visit, and see and know for yourself. You don't have to dance nor skate if you don't want to, but you will do me a favor as advertising manager by going up to the proprietors and telling them face to face just what you really think of the Star Roller Rink as a place for dancing and skating, for Colored people, by Colored business men, and if you can produce sufficient evidence to prove to them and any other gentleman of a rational mind and of good, logical understanding that the Star Roller Rink, at 3311 Olive street, isn't far superior in every way to any place of its kind for Colored people in the West, he will cheerfully hand you every cent that you and all your friends have spent during the evening, and $5 in cash and a ticket that will admit you free of all charges during the entire season. Can you beat this? Do you want a better proposition? I don't think so. The Star Roller Rink is undoubtedly the most familiar and best-known place of its kind catering to first-class people who like sweet music, and the best place to enjoy the sweet music while dancing and skating. But never mind that. It amounts to nothing to you if you don't kno wit. And if you never have visited the Star yourself, you can't possibly know how much better it is for such enjoyment. And if you have visited the Star, you can say truthfully that it is the most, if not the only, first-class place for first-class people in the city. You know it to have the finest floor, the best illuminated, the best located, the best ventilated, and, in fact, the largest and best hall for dancing or skating in the city. Now I hope you will pardon me for talking so enthusiastically about the Star, but I just can't help it. And if you could only be present once at our Tuesday night balls and our prize racing contest every Thursday night; and see our potato race, canal race and ladies' race by nearly 200 ladies and gentlemen, you could understand immediately why I can speak so boastingly of the Star. Hoping that you will think favorably of this unequaled proposition and get wise and come to the Star, I am Respectfully yours, THE ADVERTISING MANAGER.

PAUL CHAPEL NOTES. Essie B. Holman, daughter of Mrs. S. B. Ferrier, died in Los Angeles, Cal. Sunday, the 15th. She leaves an infant a few weeks old. Mrs. Ferrier has the sympathy of her many friend in St. Louis, and especially St. Paul church. Mrs. Nellie Gibson and Prof J. A. Agee were united in marriage at St. Paul parsonage Saturday. Sept. 14, at 8:30 p. m., Dr. W. D. Cook officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Holt have returned after a vacation of seven weeks. They are both looking fine. They visited Montreal, New Jersey and many other places in the East and speak fluently and in the highest terms of the beautiful scenery that met their gaze during their journey. They left the cares of a busy life behind them in St. Louis and for once partook of the pleasures of this life, as it was designed for men and women to do, and for which we are so much in need of; yet it makes us happy to see some of our people enjoy life. Mr. Holt is one of our business men who does much for our charitable institutions and churches, and so does his wife, and for this reason he prospers in his business and can well afford to take a long vacation with his wife. While away he left a trustworthy person in care of his business, and like the good servant saying, "You gave me two talents, here I have given two more. I have done my duty." From the looks of Mr. and Mrs. Holt they have gained much in weight. On Saturday evening, September 14, Miss Edna Cook entertained the following friends: Misses Jessie Gordon, Ray Campbell, Mable Mack, Jennie Wallace, late of Columbia, S. C.; Alby Sims, Beatrice Ross, Ella Porter, Bernice Casey, Stella Casey, Lailet Chambers, Nannie Whitman, Sophia Leonard, Etta James, Ruth Holiday, Mary Lou Williams, V. Jones, of Vicksburg, Miss.; Winnie Wolf, of Washington, D. C.; Cathaline Garrett, Ruth Craig and Blanche Gulley, Messrs. Isadore Shaffer, Joe Wilkerson, Will Osborne, Jas Harris, Edgar Gordon, Walter Cathrell, Harry McKain, Roderick Reaves, Wm. McMann, Will James, Henderson Gulley, W. Jackson, of Indianapolis, Ind., and Ed McKinney. Each and every one pronounced the affair one of the most enjoyable of the season and Miss Cook a most charming hostess. 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. $2.00 Per Annum, SingCopy 5 cents: the West. GIBSON-AGEE. Married, on a Saturday evening, September 14, in the parlor of St. Paul's Chapel, Mrs. Nellie Gibson and Mr. J. A. Agee, by Rev. D. W. Cook. They are living at 4297 Garfield avenue, where they will be pleased to see their friends. Walter F. Bogg and Alice Hamlin were married Sept. 12 at St. Paul parsonage, Dr. W. D. Cook officiating. NEW YORK TAILORING CO. 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, worsteds, 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. Telephone, Lindell 5237. St. Louis, Mo. Sept. 21, 1904. Dear Editor—Allow me space in your paper to announce the organization of the United American Free Will Baptist church, which was organized Sunday at 7 p. m. by Rev. H. F. Thomas, corner of Glasgow avenue and Howard street, with a membership of 17. Preaching at 7:30 ever Sunday evening. On Thursday, Sept. 12, at 5 p. m., Mr. Walter Boggs of 4263 Cottage avenue was united in holy wedlock to Mrs. J. Alice Hamlin of 2730 Morgan street, widow of the late E. L. Hamlin, who was prominent in business and society circles of this city. Mr. Hamlin died about four years ago, leaving his widow in good circumstances, who has carefully taken care of what was left her. Mrs. Hamlin is director of music at Clark university. Mr. Boggs is the son of Rev. I. N. Boggs, who is at the head of missionary work in the state of Missouri. Mr. Walter Boggs served ten years in the United States army, receiving excellent discharge papers in April last. Mrs. Boggs left over the Southern for the South on Friday to fulfill her contract as director of music until some one can be secured to fill her place. Any one making application as secretary of the Palladium must write a good hand. Portrait Free--- cographs we are giving away an elegant All's Studio 1407 MARKET ST. Do nothing behind a man's back that you would not do to his face. Peary evidently thinks the pole will keep, as he has postponed his expedition until next summer. The Chicago woman who lost $800 in cash and jewelry out of her stocking ought to buy a money belt. The Washington dancing girl who bathed in beer was merely further demonstrating her love for hopes. The woman who died recently at the age of 107 and claimed that sheowed her life to eating onions had a strong reason for her prolonged existence. An Italian duke who has no bad habits and no debts is engaged to an American girl, but we notice that the girl's father is a multimillionaire, all the same. Duke of the Abruzzl is talking of making a balloon trip to the pole. Walter Wellman may be able to furnish him with a diagram of the best aerial route. We have our doubts about kissing removing freckles, says the Nashville American, since noticing that quite a sprinkling of married ladies have a complexion like a guinea egg. It is officially denied that the dowager empress of China is ill, and the spineless emperor may as well put off indefinitely the day when he hopes to rule where he is supposed to reign. A feminine writer in a Washington paper says that there are some husbands who cannot be managed any better than some mules. It might be added that some husbands have another attribute in common with the homely mule—they are great clkers. It may be true as the professor tells us that peanuts contain more nourishment than beef steak, but no one would claim that a sack of goobers can impart that beatific expression to the countenance that seems glued on to stay when good digestion waits on a large, juicy beefsteak. Following the enactment of a law in Texas, requiring that sheets on hotel beds shall be at least nine feet long, comes the passage of a bill in Georgia making clean sheets, clean pillowcases and clean towels compulsory in the hotels of that state. The next step will naturally be legal provision for clean tablecloths and dry napkins in all hotels and restaurants. A New York clergyman said at Chautauqua the other day that there had been altogether too much preaching about the Jebusites, the Malachites and the other ites, and not enough about the living gospel. But how could we remember the names of all those itish people if the preacher did not constantly jog our memories? These are somewhat embarrassing days for modest judges. One in Omaha was actually caused to blush by a handsome and grateful woman to whom he had given the custody of her children, and who proceeded to hug and kiss him in open court, without leave first obtained. It is noteworthy, however, that he had no proceedings instituted either for assault or for contempt of court. The war on cruelty to animals has reached an acute stage at Omaha, where the Rev. John Williams has appealed to the City Council for an ordinance establishing a six-hour day for monkeys. Father William states that the organ grinders of Omaha force the unhappy monks to work from twelve to sixteen hours a day, and give them no chance to go to school. What a contrast with Newport! The president of the New York aero club, just returned from a three months' stay in London and Paris, during which he devoted himself principally to ballooning, says: "I can see no reason why pleasure parties of six or seven going up for a couple of hours will not be a common thing at our interior resorts in another year." Of course this exciting amusement will be too expensive for the middle classes. A Chicago University professor is on record as saying that Americans segregate and isolate themselves too much and are losing the sense of fellowship. "We don't pour out our soul feelings to one another," he says, "and we fall to become confidential." Come, come! Where has this professor lived? Did he ever take a three hours' railway journey without some chance stranger telling him the story of his life? The statement by a lecturer that the country spends $6,000,000,000 a year on poverty and crime, and one by the government that rats cost up $5,000,000 annually, shows some avenues of expense in which we might retrench. At least, none of the luxuries or necessaries mentioned yield either pleasure or profit at all proportionate to the amount invested. Prof. Shafer Mathews of the university of Chicago says that marriage is too much like a picnic. In some cases it is like a picnic when it rains. Officers of the Grand Lodge U. B. F. Grand Master—B.

BRYAN IS READY BRYAN IS READY WILL ANNOUNCE CANDIDACY AND OUTLINE PLATFORM. SAYS HE YIELDS TO POPULAR VOICE Demand for Government Ownership Likely to Be Indefinitely Deferred. Washington—The most important piece of political news of the season has just reached Washington to the effect that William J. Bryan will, within a few weeks, issue a statement announcing his candidacy for the democratic presidential nomination next year and submit an outline of the platform upon which he will run if his party wants him to make the race. This information was brought to the capital by close friends of Mr. Bryan, who recently have conferred with him regarding the approaching presidential campaign. Another and more formal conference between Mr. Bryan and some of his most trusted advisers from various sections of the country, for the purpose of deciding upon details respecting the course to be pursued by the Nebraskan, originally was scheduled for the 15th of the present month. For some reason, however, this conference has been postponed. But it is stated that Mr. Bryan's statement will be issued early in October, and that it will supply material from which Democratic calculations and maneuvers will be constructed throughout the period ending with the national convention that is to name the presidential ticket. Prefers Not to Run. Mr. Bryan, it is stated upon high authority, will tell the members of his party that he would rather not again be a candidate for the presidency; but that in view of the fact that there seems to be a widespread demand that he be the democratic standard bearer, he will accept the nomination if it be deemed best to give it to him on the terms he lays down. There is no positive information at hand as to the important principles or policies which Mr. Bryan will put forth as his platform. It is assumed that he will make reference to the initiative and referendum, but whether the reference will be in the nature of demanding the full consummation of that idea at the present time must remain a matter of conjecture until the Nebraskan has spoken. Undoubtedly reference also will be made to the question of government ownership, but from information available it is safe to say that no demand in favor of the immediate absorption of public service corporations (primarily the railroads) will be exploited. The Bryan belief that government ownership eventually will prove the only solution of the railroad problem may be enunciated with the qualification that the time for the change has not yet arrived. In other words, it may be sought to have it appear that government ownership is not to be an issue next year. Tariff revision, federal versus state control, the centralization of power and various other matters that have occupied the attention of Mr. Bryan recently, and which are familiar to those who follow his teachings, will receive special treatment. DEAD FISH STREW COAST. Yucatan Believes There Has Been Great Submarine Upheaval. New York—The following telegram from Progreso, Yucatan, Mex., has been received here: "The entire Yucatan coast 10 miles seaward is strewn with dead fish, presumably from a submarine eruption. Please advise cause if known." No report of an earthquake anywhere has been sent out from Washington since September 2. The seismograph then proclaimed that, wherever it was, that quake was a hard one, but it was several days before the trembler could be run down. Finally the report of the creation of a new island in the Aleutians, accompanied by severe earth throes, came from Alaska. The severe earthquake that affected all the Mexican borders of the Gulf of Mexico on April 15 last, was accompanied by a tidal wave and the killing of great quantities of fish. TWO BREAK FROM INDIANA JAIL File Bars of Cell and Make Rope of Bedding. Renssalaer, Ind.-Frank Biddle, held for horse thlevery, and John McCoy, held on a murder charge, escaped from the Jasper county jail here, and have not been apprehended. They made their escape by filing the cell bars and lowering themselves from the second-story window by means of bed clothing. The escape occurred between midnight and 4 o'clock. Turret Commission Reports Washington—The special board appointed to devise means of reducing the chances of fatal accidents in the turrets of warships completed its work and submitted its report to Secretary Metcalf, who has taken it under consideration before making any portion of it public.

PROHIBITION STRONGLY INDORSED Result Gives State Two Democratic Senators and Three Out of Five Congressmen. Oklahoma City, Okla.—Although returns from the election are not all in, the election of Charles N. Haskell, democratic candidate for governor, is assured by a majority of from 35,000 to 40,000. While Frantz, the present territorial governor and candidate on the republican ticket, ran ahead of his ticket in the larger cities, the great lead secured by Haskell in the rural districts and smaller cities and towns could not be overcome. The election of Haskell insures the victory of the entire state democratic ticket. The constitution of the new state is ratified by a vote estimated at 3 to 1. State-wide prohibition seems to have carried. Practically all of the smaller towns voted for prohibition. Two Democratic Senators. The election of a democratic legislature is assured. This will give Oklahoma two democratic United States senators through the ratification of the nomination of T. P. Gore, the blind orator, and Robert L. Owen by the primary which selected the state ticket. In the congressional districts, the republicans have apparently elected two out of five congressmen. Bird S. McGuire, republican, is elected in the First district, and Frank Hubbard, republican, in the Second. The democratic congressmen chosen are E. L Fulton, Third district; C. D. Carter, Fourth district, and Scott Ferris, Fifth. BRIDEGROOM DIES BY OWN HAND Aged Physician Leaves an Estate of $3,000,000 to Young Wife. New York—When Dr. A. Warner Shepard, who was married four years ago at the age of 66 years, died suddenly Sunday morning, Sept. 8, it was given out by relatives that death was caused by heart failure. Through Coroner Dr. Henry J. Brewer in Brooklyn, however, it became known later that the veteran physician had died from an overdose of morphine, self-administered. Dr. Shepard went to an undertaker's two weeks ago and selected a coffin in which he said he wanted to be buried. His estate, which is valued at $3,000,000, will, for the most part, go to his widow, who is 28 years old. It is emphatically denied that any other women have put in claims to the estate. The coroner will investigate the case. DIDN'T ORDER COCKTAILS. Loeb Still Denies on Behalf of Roosevelt and Himself. Oyster Bay, N. Y.—Because of the widespread publicity given the statement of Bishop Berry of Detroit that either President Roosevelt or Secretary Loeb, and not Mr. Fairbanks, was responsible for the cocktails served at the luncheon tendered them by the vice-president at Indianapolis, Secretary Loeb issued this formal statement: "The statement is too absurd to be given any credence. Neither the president nor his secretary, either directly or indirectly, ordered anything of any kind at the luncheon in question, or at any other luncheon where they were guests." JAPANESE STEAMER BURNS The Tafoo Maru Destroyed on the Yangstekiang River. Shanghai, China—A Japanese steamer, the Tafoo Maru, has been burned three miles off Chingkiang, on the right bank of the Yangstekiang, 45 miles from Nanking. It is reported that 100 lives were lost. The Tafoo Maru, formerly the Tahung Maru, is of 1758 tons register and is 300 feet long. She was built in Japan in 1900, and belongs to the Osaki Shosen Kabushiki Co. of Osaki. Beggar Attacks Cardinal. Baltimore, Md.—Cardinal Gibbons was seized forcibly and shaken by a beggar on the street after the prelate had refused to give him money. Police and citizens rushed to the assistance of the aged Cardinal and dragged the man away. But for the interposition of the Cardinal the beggar would have been roughly dealt with. As it was, he will probably be sent to the workhouse as a vagrant. Woman is Fatally Burned. Webster City, Ia.-Mrs. William Keyser, a prominent Ellsworth woman, while cooking, was burned fatally. Her dress caught fire and she ran out into the yard, where the high wind fanned the flames. Fire Damages Lake Vessel Marquette, Mich.—While at dock here the steamer Portage caught fire, practically all the upper works being destroyed. The fire was discovered by Capt. West of the steamer Presque Isle NEWS OF MISSOURI School-Book Bribe Charge. Macon—In addition to two murder cases on the docket for the September term of the Macon circuit court, the feature of most general interest will be the investigation of charges made by the Macon county text-book commission against the agents of a book publishing house, to the effect that the agents tried to bribe the commission. The commissioners issued a statement shortly after the adoption, in which they alleged that among the embarrassing features of their work, certain agents sought to influence them, illegally, to adopt their works. The publishing concern connected with the accusation is one of the largest in the country, and its friends claim that by the change of books Macon county school patrons will be put to an expense of $30,000 extra to provide facilities for their children. The commission refused to recommend any of the works offered by this concern after the alleged attempts at bribery. Courage Forsakes Girl Runaway. Courage Porsakes Girl Runaway. St. Louis—Scared and weeping, Esmay Sayers, 14 years old, who ran away from Higginsville, Mo., with two other girls, was taken to the house of detention by Patrolman Coats of the central district. The girl was found crying in the waiting room in the union station. She said she and Hazel Short, 14 years old, and Eva Short, 11 years old, also of Higginsville, Mo., all decided to take a big trip. While standing on the platform of the station of their home town they saw the train and on the impulse, climbed aboard. Esmay says a kind-hearted conductor talked with them and allowed them to ride free. She was courageous until the other girls got off the train at Carter, Mo., and left her alone. Esmay became lonely and was scared when she arrived at union station. Murderer Gets 20 Years. Cassville—After two hours' debriefation, a jury in the circuit court here returned a verdict of guilty in the trial of Harry Burke, charged with the murder of Marion Thomas, an aged Monett (Mo.) farmer. Burke's sentence was fixed at 20 years in the Missouri penitentiary. Burke was formerly a bartender at Monett. He assigns his downfall to liquor. After Joplin Dynamiters. Joplin—Five hundred citizens responded to Mayor J. F. Osborne; call for a mass indignation meeting to raise funds to assist in the search for the persons who wrecked the newspaper plant of the Joplin News-Herald with dynamite. A fund of $670 was contributed to institute the preliminary search for the perpetrators. Kansas City Grocer Dies. Kansas City - Clarence J.

F. Nelson of Sullivan county sent letters to the prosecuting attorneys of all counties in the state that have adopted the local-option law, suggesting that a convention be held for the consideration of the best methods of enforcing this law. Nelson's idea is to have a meeting of prosecuting attorneys at some central point, probably Jefferson City. Missouri Pioneer Dies. Bevler—A. C.

In fact, there is not a better kept business in the city as a bar. Mr. Frank Kaltenbach is kind to all, and seems to have a disposition which causes men to like him personally. He is so well thought of that men like to patronize his place. In a few days he will open a buffet at 2645 Lawton avenue, fronting on Beaumont, where he will conduct the same orderly place of business. We ask for him your patronage and support.

Mrs. Bowles (nee Nichols) of 1702 Chestnut street, for who many years has kept the most successful and systematic rooming house in the city, was interviewed regarding the continuing of it since her marriage to Mr. P. T. Bowles. She said she was centrally located and that her place had so long been headquarters for so many of the best people coming to the city that she couldn't see how or why she should give it up. She was asked for a few of the names of those who usually stopped with her: Prof. R. H. Grisham, Lincoln High School, South Carolina; Prof. B. H. Ball and wife, Philander Smith College, Little Rock, Ark.; Rev. McCracken, Chicago; Prof. J. C. Cobb, Cape Gardeau; M. J. Christopher, manager of Florida Timber Co., Jackson Fla., and many others. For years her place was headquarters for many of the Meharry College students. Among them was Dr. T. J. Stewart, who now is one of the prominent doctors of the city. Also her place is prominent for the stopping of some of the leading people of Hot Springs, among them the late Rev. Torrence and wife, R. H. Pleasants and wife, D. G. Murphy and wife, Paul Gaunt and wife, M. Kaufman and wife. Mr. Kaufman is now about to complete pharmacy and contemplates opening a drug store in the near future. At present Mr. Wm. Wilson and wife of Ste. Genevieve, Mo., are stopping at the above address. Mrs. Wilson is a niece of Mrs. J. Milton iFelds; also Mr. Wm. J. Reece of Baltimore, Md., is stopping there. Mr. Reece is a 33d degree Mason; in fact he comes well recommended. Too much can not be said of this lady who keeps strictly first-class rooms for the accommodation of the better class of people who come to the city. We are delighted to learn that she still contemplates remaining at her much fitted occupation. TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. There came near being a race riot last hurryday about 12:45, when the school children began to rock several Negro boys that lived near by, calling them "niggers." Over 500 children were out at recess. This rocking of each other lasted six or eight minutes, while many of the teachers of the said school were standing at the windows laughing. When the police arrived they caught two boys who were throwing rocks. They were arrested and carried down. At this the police were jeered at, and in a threatening manner. When on the corner of Walnut and High or Twenty-third street these children stood for six or eight minutes jeering at the police. Then the white girls on the second floor of the Newport Laundry throw out paper boxes and old shoes at the police and every Negro that passed that way. One man, an employee, began to throw rocks at the Negro boys, until one of the Negroes struck him on the arm. That stopped him. All this time, and until 1:10, before the school bell was rung. It seems that any principal who had an ounce of sense, seeing his school almost in a riot, would have had the school bell rung or would have appeared on the scene to quell the disturbance. I never in all my life saw a neglect of duty on the part of teachers and principal as that of the said school on Twenty-third and Walnut and Eugenia streets. Sam the Tailor has moved from 204 and 206 North Fourteenth street to 1312, one of the largest and best ventilated stores in the city. He has the goods, and if you want a good suit he will make it at 1312 Olive street. OUR POLITICAL REPORTER. When the secretary called the roll for proxies, he said Mr. Akins had a statement to make. Mr. Akins is not a member of the State Committee, but being a member of the National Committee, he was given the floor. He said that about noon today he had a talk with C. G. Williams, of Booneville, over the long distance telephone. Williams · a member of the committee, but had given his proxy to Charles Turner. A Negro Brought a Test Vote. "Mr. Williams," said Akins, "informs me that he now thinks the election of a State chairman at this time would be unwise, so he asked me to have the proxy revoked and appoint Mr. Isaiah H. Bradbury as his proxy." Otto Stifel moved that Turner be unseated and Bradbury be seated in his place. This brought a test vote, and on a roll call the motion to seat Bradbury was beaten, 21 to 17. Bradbury formerly lived in Kansas City. He is a little bald-headed Negro, who was a street foreman during the Cowherd administration and had charge of the fraudulent registration of Negroes before the election of 1894, following which the grand jury indicted the ballot box stuffers in the spring of 1895. Bradbury was sent to Seattle. He was one of the first men indicted, and was brought back by Fred Boley, a constable. Bradbury turned State's evidence and was the principal informer in the election fraud cases. He furnished much of the evidence on which John C. Tarsney was ousted from Congress. The Kansas City members of the committee were amazed when Akins threw his full strength to Bradbury. The Negro, when his defeated was announced, turned to Dickey and made an angry remark. Turner, who is also a Negro, took it up, and words were passing fast when a demand was made that the sergeant-at-arms restore order. Bradbury left the room, but came back later. Had Bradbury been elected Mr. Akins would probably have won his point.—The Kansas City Times, September 13, 1907. In Favor of Mr. Dickey. At the St. Louis meeting of the Republican State Committee much stress waal said on the question of Mr. Hadley's attitude toward Walter S. Dickey, the new State chairman. Mr. Hadley said he had no objections to making his position clear, and dictated this statement; "There is no truth in the statement that I was opposed to the selection of Walter S. Dickey as chairman of the Republican Committee. Mr. Dickey and I have been personal and political friends for over ten years, and if I was in any sense a candidate for the nomination -or Governor I would have made a nactive effort in behalf of his selection. As I am not a candidate, I took no part. I think the party is fortunate in having a leader of the energy and ability of Mr. Dickey.—Kansas City Star, September 16 1907. Mr. Akin has been National Committeeman almost four years. How many Negroes have received recognition through his influence, or has Mr. Akin any influence? On what ground does that bunch of promise-breakers, to wit: Alt, Holt camp, Krusman, Howe, et al., expect to receive the Negro voters' support? Ten thousand votes—over one-sixth of the Republican total—were cast last November by Negroes. The modicum of positions doled out to them was six places, just one-fortieth of the total number within the gift of the party. It does not require the services of a professional accountant to find how much they were c.eated. If the Negroes had displayed as much activity against that crowd of promise-breakers as they did for them last November how many would have been holding office now? Mr. H. S. Caulfield may not need the votes of the 4,500 Negroes who voted for him in 1906. That is the conclusion to be reached if his interest in them is a criterion. How does he justify his lack of action in that regard with his liberal promises of that campaign? The above questions will have to be answered, either now or at the next election. Messrs. Caulfield and Coulrey, do you choose to wait? If so, the Negroes will answer for you in 1908. Ask Jep Howe how he likes the appearance of a real chairman. The members of the State Committee evidently did not regard the word of Mr. Akin as being as good as his bond. At any rate, they asked for proof. The entire party is asking Mr. Akin to prove up, and have been asking it for two years. That crowd of political fakers and Federal pie caters are on their last legs—tottering on their thrones, so to speak. A little while, and then a last good-by. Jeff. D. Howe, who believes that he is the whole Republican party, has no respect for Negro ministers. Every breath he draws in their presence is an oath of the vilest. Let the 12,000 Negro voters resent this. We deplore the action of Mr. T. K. Niedringhaus in resigning the chairmanship of the Republican State Committee, as he has been a most efficient officers, painstaking, conservative and in the way of success for the party then has ever been done before. than has ever been done before. It is the sentiment of a majority of the fair-minded members of the party that to his executive ability and keen perceptiveness is due the present well organized condition of the party and the bright outlook for is future. He has had, however, during his tenure of office a most able assistant and adviser, Mr. Walter S. Dickey, who, as chairman of the Executive Committee, was of the greatest benefit to Mr. Niedringhaus and to the party in his work on that important sub-committee, and we can truthfully say that the State Committee and party was fortunate in having a man like Mr. Walter S. Dickey to serve as chairman during the unexpired term of Mr. Niedringhaus. Mr. Dickey has the experience, gained by several years of activity as a member of the State Committee and of the County Committee of Jackson county, besides youth, vigor and an earnest desire to see the Republican party dominant in the State; and the party need not fear but that the interests of all of the 320,000 Republicans in Missouri will be managed with that objective point ever inv jew. Mr. Dickey is broad-minded, honest and sincere, and his patriotism and loyalty to the party and party members unquestioned. The 50,000 Negro voters of the State are glad to welcome him as their leader, and are much encouraged in his elevation to the chairmanship, as during his connection with politics he has always displayed a disposition to give every member of the party a square deal, and to treat the mimpartially, regardless of their color or humbleness of station. He is equally conversant with the fact that the Republican party has vital need of the Negro vote if it would be successful, and when success has been attained will be only too glad glad to see that the workers are rewarded in a manner commensurate with their performance. It is no reflection upon his predecessor to say that we expect him to be the ablest chairman of the State Committee that the pary has had in years, and we hereby pledge him our heartiest support. What has Senator Warner, whom, Akins says, has so much influence at Washington, done for the 50.000 Negro members of the party? The liar—the meanest creature that has been created in the image of God. Men may steal from us, rob us of our earthly possessions and murder us, but by doing all this they hurt us not one-half as much as they do with their lying tongues. The liar is to be feared more than the most poisonous snake. He is deadly poison. The worst liar is the one who acts sneakingly. He is just like the snake that lurks in places where man is not expecting him. He is to be feared more than the wild beast; they kill because of hunger. The liar kills with his lying tongue because of jealousy. Trying to get revenge the snake and the beast you meet face to face you have a chance to defend yourself. You can see every renewed effort which they make; this encourages you and you fight harder for your life; but the liar springs at your back unawares. You have no chance of defending yourself. The liar lies about you because he envies you. You are gaining in what he lost; you are honest in all your doings. He is a very tricky fellow, and will use all schemes imaginable to gain his end. He breaks one of the greatest and most sacred commandments that the world has. But he has had a place assigned him. All liars shall have their part in the ake which burneth with fire and brimstone.—The Baton Rouge Banner. Some of our officeholders and those seeking office ought to study and make use of the above. KIRKWOOD NOTES. The Booker Washington School opened Monday with a larger attendance than ever before.

There was a large crowd out last Sunday morning to hear the noble sermon which was preached by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Cole. To be a Christian means to be like Christ. Now, if you have the spirit of Christ in you, you are a peaceable, loving, kind, sober, upright, honorable, self-respecting citizen, gentleman or lady. Any person or persons that are in possession of these qualities will do unto others as they would have others do unto them.

An Authority Says Three-Fourths Of Graduates Are Unfitted to Practice. AGENTS WANTED To Solicit Advertisements for the PALLADIUM tle was stated by Dr, Chester Mayer, of the State Board of Medical Exam- iners of Kentucky at a meeting of the American Medical Association’s Com- mittee on Medical Education, held in Chicago not long ago. Dr. Mayer said that only 25 to 28 per cent of the graduates are qualified, Fifty-elght per cent of the graduates examined in 28 states were refused licenses. With few exceptions these failures took a second examination in a few weeks and only 50 per cent of them passed. “This does not mean that deficien- cies in their training were corrected in those few weeks,” Dr. Mayer said. “It probably stows that experience showed them what the test would probably be and they ‘crammed’ for the examination, Dr. W. T. Gott, Secretary of the Indiana Board said: “The majority of our schools now teach their students how to pass ex- aminations, not how to be good phy- sicians.” At the session of the American Medical Association held in Atlantio City in June, Dr. M. Clayton Thrush, a professor in the Medico Chirurgical College in Philadelphia said: “Many doctors turned out of the Medical Schools are so ignorant in matters pertaining to pharmacy that they know nothing about the properties of-the drugs they prescribe for their patients!” Dr. Henry Beats, Jr., Pres- ident of the Pennsylvania State Board of Medical Examiners, after scrutimiz- ing the papers of a class of candi- dates for licensure said: “About one quarter of the papers show a degree of ifiteracy that renders the candi- dates for licensure incapable of un- derstanding medicine.” A great many more physicians and chemists might be quoted in support of the astounding charge that 3,000 in- competents are being dumped onto an unsuspecting public each year. What the damage done amounts: to can never be estimated for these in- competents enjoy the privilege of di- agnosing, prescribing or dispensing drugs regarding the properties of which they know nothing and then of signing death certificates that are not passed upon by anyone unless the coroner is called in. Probably there is not a grave yard from one end of the country to the other that does not contain the buried evidences of the mistakes or criminal carelessness of incompetent physicians. During the last year there have been perhaps, half a dozen known cases where surgeons, after perform- ing operations have sewed up the in- cisions without first removing the gauze sponges used to absorb the blood, and in some cases forceps and even surgeon's scissors have been left in the wound. How many of these cases there have been, where the patient died, there is no means ot knowing and comparatively few of the cases where the discovery is made in time to save life becume gen- eraliy public. Reports from Sanita- riums for the treatment of the Drug Habit show that members of the medi- cal profession are more often treated in these institutions than members of any other profession, and that a majority of the patients, excluding the physicians themselves, can trace their downfall directly*to a careless physician. How many criminal operations are performed by physiclans is also a Patter of gonjecture. Operations of $s class are, unfortunately, very gequent in large cities. Some gradu- ated and licensed physicians, many of them of supposed respectability, make an exclucive practice of crim- inal medical and surgical treatment. Dr. Henry G. W. Rheinhart, Coroner's physician of Chicago, estimates the number of criminal operatiens, annu- allly, in Chicago alone at 38,000. How many resulted fatally are unknown, as when death results, the real cause is disguised, in the death certificate, which the physician signs, and which no one but himself and a clerk sees. Probably not one case of _malprac- tice in 1,000 ever becomes the subject of a law suit but in the last year ap- proximately 150 cases wherein the plaintiff has alleged malpractice have been reported in the newspapers, and owing to the social prominence and the favored positions of many physi- cians not more than half the new suits stated, probably, resuit in any newspaper publicity, but it would proba#ly not be an exaggeration to state that the total cases of malprac- tice, not involving criminal operations or criminal medical practice, would amount to 150,000 or more than one case to each physician in the country. This estimate is, of course, more or less conjecture. Untimely deaths and permanent disabilities are frequent, and occur within the knowledge of al- most évery one, when life could have been saved, or health restored had SS PiICKEtai.

At 19 she entered Michigan university on English examination, graduating with her degree of M. D. four years later. ‘Dr. Stone then returned to Kiukiang, where she has had charge of the hos- pital work for the last ten years. In the same city, in the same year that Mary Stone was born, another baby girl of the same family name came into the world, but this little one was born into a heathen home. “Rii Kullang,” as she is called, lost her father when very young, and the mother at once vowed she wonld never remarry, but devote her life to. search- ing for the true religion, adopting the life, customs and dress of the Taoist nun. In a very pretty little home*on the outskirts of the city this woman lived a life of utter seclusion, her one companion being her little daughter, who, as she grew older and proved to be a beautiful girl, was educated in her home, and taught the three re- ligions of the east; and she, too, adopting the ugly garb of the Taoists, became known, like her mother, as a “truth-seeker.” The reputation of the two women for their piety came to the ears of the emperor, who ordered that his seal be placed over the gate, thus insuring their safety from molestation. For many years the Christian mem- bers of the Stone family sought to gain admittance to the home, but it was not until two years ago that the door was opened to them. And since then God has used the dear little doc- tor-cousin to effect a change, says the Christian Herald. The free, happy life of Dr. Stone attracted the little nun, -and the gay, almost childlike spirit of the Christian, with her bright face and merry laughter, soon drew forth the confidence of the lonely recluse. First same the interchange of calls, and Ril Kuliang became intensely interested in the beautiful work of her cousin, spending hours following her about the hospital. Then the Bible was intro- duced and a copy placed in the hands of the “truth-seeker.” Last winter, just a short time before Dr. Stone started for America, Ril Ku- liang accepted an invitation to come to our home in the medical compound, and for a week the timid, shrinking little Taoist nun lived and slept in the home of Christians, the first time in her life away from the idols. Here she saw the free, happy, useful life of her cousin, Each morning she attend- ed prayers, hearing the sweet songs of faith and love. : A few days after our visitor had re- turned to her home we went to call on her at “Purity Hall.” A bright, eager face welcomed us. The mother said to Dr. Stone: “Since Rii Kuliang came back from your house she hasn't been near her idols once!” PROGRESS OF KINGDOM. “It abldeth alone” explains away some liver.

For instance, a man may now make entry before the local agent for his father or for his brother or brothers, or for his son or sons, or for a sister or daughter who may be the head of the family having minor children de- pending upon her for support. A sis- ter, daughter or mother are also en- titled to make entry upon a home- stead. The only fee required is $10.00 for each entry. A great saving in rail- way expenses is thus made. Read what Mr. Gerts has to say: Battleford, Sask., Aug. 4, 1907. Dear Sir:— Thinking a letter from us Northwest settlers might interest you, and I write ‘a few lines and let you know we are progressing finely and well pleased with our new home. When I think of the many hard working, industrious men east with families who are struggling for a liv- ing and doing the strenuous, laying up practically nothing fer old age and the thousands of acres of land here yet to be plowed and cultivated capable of raising sixty to eighty bushels of oats, thirty to forty bushels of wheat, it cer- tainly seems a pity the two cannot be brought together. But I will repeat, this country is only for the industrious and thrifty; also I might add, it re- quires some capital to start. A man should have at least a team of three good horses; better to have mares so as to have some colts com- ing along each year. It is best to bring them with him as work horses are high. He should be able to purchase plow, disc and drag, harrow, drill, binder and hay rake. Of course sev- eral taking up claims or buying land near together can divide up the pur- chasing of the above machinery and exchange work. This plan will work well for a few years or until crops will warrant each individual to purchase a full outfit. We have 480 acres of as good farm land as lies in the famous Cut Knife district. Every foot can be plowed. Last year our oatS-run 60 bushels per acre. I sold them for 50c per bushel on the place. ‘The indications are for a good crop this year, though we were very late in seeding owing to the late spring. Last winter was the coldest known a this country by the oldest settlers | (some who have been here 35 years),, but with 2 comfortable . house -and | plenty of, firewood, which we hauled four miles, we passed the winter quite pleasantly. The air is clear and dry. Some of WE, days I came from work I was surptised to find the thermometer registering 40° below zero. Though | we never keep fire at night, we had nothing freeze in our cellar. Our stock and chickens wintered fine. I have a yearling heifer, who He Set a Date. A merchant in a Wisconsin town who had a Swedish clerk sent him out to-do some collecting. When he re- turned from an unsuccessful trip he reported: “Yim Yonson say he vill pay ven he sells his hogs. Yim Olesen, he vill pay ven he sell him wheat, and Bill Pack say he vill pay in Yanuary.” “Well,” said the boss, “that’s the first time Bill ever set a date to pay. Did he really say he would pay in January?” “Vell, aye tank so,” said the clerk. “He say dat it ban a dam cold day ven you get that money. I tank that ban in Yanuary.”—Harper's Weekly. Had Measured It. “How far,” asked the first automo- bilist as they met ata turn in the road, “is it from here to the next town where there's a repair shop?” “Eleven hills, three bad bridges, one long stretch of deep sand, and two ar- rests," answered the second automo- DDG es a a With asmooth fron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt- waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the Sabo: Proguct of the Lowly Hen, Washington's monument is 555 fee high.

The Vision from the Mount.—Vs.1.4. Moses had completed his work. The time had come for him to entrust the future of his people to other hands. On account of his almost only failure to come up to his standard, at the Waters of Meribah, he was not permitted to enter the promised land. His public sin before all the people must be punished to show that God was impartial, that no matter what one's privileges or attainments he cannot be immune in sin. But for Moses, as always with his people, God mingled love with justice, and showed Moses that punishment was a necessity, but God's heart overflowed with loving kindness and tender mercies toward his child and prophet. Visions of Heaven. God gives us Pisgah views of the promised land to which we are tarvelling through this wilderness world. (1) We have them in Scriptures, where glimpses of heaven are given to us, both by description and by the ideals of a holy life set before us. But one must have something of the character of Moses before he can see the vision in its true glory. (2) God gives his children heavenly experiences, earnest and foretastes of the blessedness to come. But these, too, come after faithful service and devoted living. The object of these visions is (1) to present before us the true ideal of life. It is not a vain thing to think often of a perfect and holy heaven, for it shows us how we ought to live on earth. (2) To be a motive and inspiration to higher living. (3) To be a comfort in hours of darkness and discouragement. Character Sketch of Moses -Vs. 10-12. Moses stands among the few greatest men in all history. In every direction he was great and good. 10. "And there arose not a prophet . . . like unto Moses." No other was like him till we come to Jesus, the prophet whom God had promised should be raised up like unto Moses (Deut. 18:18), the organizer of a new kingdom speaking the truth directly from God. "Whom the Lord knew face to face." God revealed himself and his will directly to Moses without the intervention of any angel or human being. God's spirit acted upon the spirit of Moses. 11. "In all the signs and the wonders, greater than any wrought till Jesus Christ came. They proved to the Israelites that Moses was God's messenger to them, his commands were God's commands, his leading where God would have them led. 12. "In all that mighty hand." The hand is the symbol of power in action—the instrument of power. "All the great terror," which God wrought against Pharaoh and other enemies which was doubtless one of the reasons why the Israelites were so safe in the wilderness. 2. As a Saint.—Moses' goodness shines as brightly as his greatness. He was unselfish. He devoted himself at every cost to the good of his people. He encountered every danger for their sakes. He was willing to die to save them. He was the embodiment of love to God and love to man. By seeing God face to face he was becoming transformed into his spiritual likeness. 3. His Imperfection.—Two or three times some fault is attributed to Moses, as every saint has failed in some point at some time. There is no garden but has some weeds. But the most unjust thing we can do is to measure its value by its weeds and not by its fruits. 4. Moses as a Statesman.—"Inspiration apart, Moses possessed all those endowments and qualities which form the consummate statesman and chief magistrate; an intellect of the highest order; a perfect mastery of all the civil wisdom of the age; a penetrating, comprehensive and sagacious judgment; great promptness and energy in action; patriotism which neither ingritude, ill treatment nor rebellion could quench, or even cool; a commanding and persuasive eloquence; a hearty love of truth; an uncompitable virtue ed hills e D ia.ia. re Na. B Co in IV stab PRIC ar stab 5. As a general Moses delivered his people from the most powerful nation on earth; maintained them amid the perils of the desert for 4 years, and led them in confidence against a country settled by fierce tribes, which they conquered. 6. As a Lawgiver.—However much may have been added by the development of the people, like the amendments to the constitution and laws of the United States, yet through closes was instituted the great sys tem of civil and religious law. 7. As a Poet.—The two songs in deuteronomy 32 and 33, and Psalm 90. HERITAGE OF CIVIL WAR. Thousands of Soldiers Contracted Chronic Kidney Trouble While in the Service. The experience of Capt. John L. Ely, of Co. E, 17th Ohio, now living at 500 East Second street, Newton, Kansas, will interest the thousands of veterans who came back from the Civil War suffering tortures with kidney complaint. Capt.

Capt. Ely says: "I contracted kidney trouble during the Civil War, and the occasional attacks finally developed into a chronic case. At one time I had to use a crutch and cane to get about. My back was lame and weak, and besides the aching, there was a distressing retention of the kidney secretions. I was in a bad way when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills in 1901, but the remedy cured me, and I have been well ever since." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. A Little Courtship Comedy. A good-looking, well-to-do bachelor of Manchester was being teased by some young women of his acquaintance for not being married. He said: "I'll marry the one of you whom on a secret vote you elect to be my wife." There were nine women in the company. Each one went into a corner and used great caution in preparing her ballot and disguised her handwriting. The result was that there were nine votes cast, each receiving one. The man remains a bachelor, the friendship is broken up, and the women, all mortal enemies, united in the one determination that they will not speak to the man again.—The Tatler. THREE BOYS HAD ECZEMA. Were Treated at Dispensary—Did Not Improve—Suffered Five Months —Perfect Cure by Cuticura. "My three children had eczema for five months.

The baby had had it about a week when the second boy took the disease and a few sores developed, then the third boy took it. For the first three months I took them to the N—Dispensary, but they did not seem to improve. Then I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and in a few weeks they had improved, and when their heads were well you could see nothing of the sores. Mrs. Kate Keim, 513 West 29th St., New York, N. Y., Nov. 1, 5 and 7, 1906." The Peaceful Joy of the River. An ingenious Spaniard says that "rivers and the inhabitants of the watery element were made for wise men to contemplate and fools to pass by without consideration." And though I will not rank myself in the number of the first, yet give me leave to free myself from the last, by offering to you a short contemplation, first of rivers, and then of fish; concerning which I doubt not but to give you many observations that will appear very considerable; I am sure they have appeared so to me, and made many an hour pass away more pleasantly, as I have sat quietly on a flowery bank by a calm river.—Isaac Walton. Her Bad Break. "Here's a pretty good coat, if you want it," said the farmer's wife, with a generous smile. Young Hilary Wearinesse, the tramp, spoke politely, yet with some slight hauteur. "Yer kindness, ma'am," he said, "should be a sufficient excuse for yer ignorance; but ye ougher know I cannot wear no sack coat with this here silk hat." No Grace. Four-year-old Anna was invited to take luncheon with the family of one of her little friends. Before they partook of their meal, the head of the house asked a blessing upon the food, during which time Anna chattered constantly. Not wishing to reprove the child, her hostess said, "I suppose you don't have grace at your house." "Oh, no," the little girl replied, "we have Bessie,"—Harper's Magazine. FOUND OUT. A Trained Nurse Made Discovery. No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse. Speaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes Barre, Pa., writes: "I used to drink strong coffee myself, and suffered greatly from headaches and indigestion. While on a visit to my brothers I had a good chance to try Postum Food Coffee, for they drank it altogether in place of ordinary coffee. In two weeks after using Postum I found I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion. "Naturally I have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used. "I observed a curious fact about Postum when used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in cases where coffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness. "I find trouble in getting servants to make Postum properly. They most always serve it before it has been boiled long enough. It should be boiled 15 to 20 minutes after boiling begins and served with cream, when it is certainly a delicious beverage." Read "The Road to Wellyville" in pkgs. There's a Reason. toms.

The girl is marrying me for my money." Laudry 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.
