Since the meeting of the Imperial and Supreme Council, held in St. Louis, Mo., August 15, 16, 17 and 18, there has been a great number of applications by members of consistory formerly under other so-called supreme councils and council of the Or- A EAST GRAND MASTER L.

Another Bright Light Has Gone to Meet Her Maker. The mother of Mrs. Fannie Lee, of 1031 . north Lefflingwell avenue, St. Louis, died July 25, 1907, at her residence in Tipton, Mo. She was well known and beloved by all who knew her. No better evidence than the grief shown by both white and black is necessary. They were greatly affected, as she was only sick several days. The Master called for her, and like a good soldier she answered and g'ald, met the grim monster, Death, with a smile upon her face. The floral offerings were grand. No stronger evidence of affection was necessary than these, presented by her beloved friends in all walks of life. She was a member of the S. M. T. or the Order of U. B. F. The sermon was conducted by Rev. J. H. Burton, under the charge of the Sisters of the Mystic Ten. Mrs. Norris leaves a son, George Oliver; a daughter, Mrs. Fannie Lee; a husband, many relatives and a host of friends to mourn her loss. She lived in Tipton the greater part of her life, and she will be missed in that community for her good work. She was a loving wife, a kind and devoted mother, and a loving sister. So much so that the Gilden Star No. 75, of S. M. T., will mourn her loss and regret her untimely death. May she rest in peace, is the wish of the St. Louis Palladium. 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 apttens, 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. AT REST. Mr. Peter Walker, an old resident of St. Louis, but for the last two years a resident of Muncie, Ind., departed this life, Aug. 11 in St. Louis, after several months' illness, having come here to be treated by Dr. W. P. T. Jones. Mr. Walker leaves to mourn his loss a loving wife, sister and brother at Collinsville and Alton, Ill., and a host of warm friends in this city and Muncie. Mr. Walker was among the few who looked forward to the time when the family circle would be broken and, provided for it while living here. He owned a very nice home and also leaves a splendid home for his wife at 1417 Brotherton street, Muncie, Ind. He was a kind, loving and thoughtful husband, and his loss is much felt. Mrs. Walker will be remembered as Past Matron of Naomi Court of H. of J. Mr. Walker was buried from Antioch Baptist Church, Revs. S. P. Anderson and Lewis Lane officiating. Mr. Andrew Russell, the undertaker, laid the body to rest in Greenwood cemetery. Every kindness was shown Mrs. Walker while here in her time of sorrow. She stopped with her old friend, Mrs. Jacob Cassey, of 4301 Kennerly aevnue, while here. Pallbearers were nephews of Mr. Walker.

EVENING HIGH SCHOOL The L'Ouverture Evening School will open Monday evening, October 7, at 7 o'clock. In addition to the district school studies, a high school department will be opened. This will afford an excellent opportunity for our young men and women who are compelled to work during the day to secure a high school education. It is to be hoped that this chance will not be neglected. Nicely furnished room for rent at 3303 Lawton avenue, suitable for one or two gentlemen; no other roomers and no children in the house. ST.

Stafford has returned to St. Louis after a journey in England, Germany and France for the past two months. He took well. He has been touched by the English way of speaking and of dressing. So much so that he acts like an English duke, and he is now fitted to attend to his patrons. Miss Carrie King, a business young woman of 1916 Chestnut street, was very pleasantly surprised, a few evenings ago with a serenade on a graphophone by the society young men, namely, Messrs. Harry Kays, Willie Whitehead and Hamilton Harris. A very pleasant evening was spent. Miss King is a progressive hair dresser. Sam the Tailor has moved at last. He is now at 1322 Olive street, in full blast. Don't forget the place. He would be pleased to meet his many patrons, that he may clothe you for the fall and winter.

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 tSar 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 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, ana 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.

EMANCIPATION MEETING. Last Monday, September 23, we left St. Louis on the Frisco railroad for Cape Giradeau, Mo., to address the good people of that city. We were conducted to the residence of Rev. N. C. Douglass, where Mrs. Douglass had prepared a sumptuous dinner for a hungry St. Louisan. After dinner we were conducted to the Fair Grounds, where we found Rev. N. C. Douglass in charge and preparing for a grand success, which they did have. Rev. Douglass is admitted to be the leader among our people in the Cape, and his amiable wife, likewise is loved by saints and sinners of all denominations. At night there was a splendid crowd. In due time the Rev. Douglass called the meeting to order and introduced the Palladium man, J. W. Wheeler, who spoke at some length on the organization of the Republican party in 1856 to 1862, September 22. When the emancipation and the declaration of freedom went into effect on January 1, 1863. He then referred to the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, and closed by telling the people that all of this came through the Republican party and urging the young boys and girls and young men and women to set a peg far ahead and work to it. At this point he gave 100 copies of the Palladium away, urging all to be good. We met many familiar faces which we knew years ago. Among them were the following. Prof. J. C. Cobbs, who has taught school in the Cape for nearly twenty-five years. Mr. Anthony Miller, a member of the Rev. Diuglass' church, has some peculiar notions on the formation of the earth and the white man. Mrs. Florence Smith, Mrs. H. Rodgers and Mrs. Cora Powers were looking as sweet as married women could look. Mr. J. M. Simon who is in the grocery and notion business at 401 Good Hope street, is meeting with success in Cape Girardeau, Mo. The most comical thing was Rev. J. W. Gardner, who said that he preached in a Baptist church in Nashville, Tenn. He was formerly of Clarksville, Tenn. He is what I should call a man after Vardeman's opinions. He thinks that the Negro has too much freedom. He also thinks that the Negroes should all go to the cornfield or cotton patch. He tries to give a talk that will please the white men of the South, but it did not take a student to find his depth. Rev. N. C. Douglass put two questions to him that silenced his guns. I only thought what a pity it was that Tennessee would permit one of her sons to go into a State where he will be compelled to show Missouri what is what, and not be puffed up like a gas bag. We met one gentleman who was our guide. We know not his name. He is a deep-dyed Republican. At a late hour (11:30) we left the Fair Grounds and went to the depot to leave for St. Louis at 2:05 o'clock, but the train was four hours late and we left the Cape at 6:10 and arrived in old St. Louis at 11 o'clock, September 24. CENTRAL PROTECTIVE LEAGUE. The Central Protective League will give a grand debate at the Odd Fellows' Hall, 2923 Morgan street, Sunday afternoon, from 2:30 to 4:30. There will be a number of the best speakers of St. Louis, among them W. C. Gordon and Mrs. Ollie Steward. Their subjects will be, "What Political Effect Has Roosevelt on the Negro of Missouri?" Mrs. E. L. Cunningham will be master of ceremonies. Much matter was left out this week on account of lack of space, but more so for the reason that our good subscribers and advertisers fail to be on time with their money. 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 the many friends for their support. $2.00 Per Annum, SingCopy 5 cents: in the West. GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN In memoriam to my dear brother-in-law, Louis Meyer, of 5022 Maple avenue, who departed this life August 17, 1907. From Germany, a sturty lad, some forty years ago, Left home and fireside, dear ones all, for fortune, weal or woe. Hardships he bore with fortitude, and reminiscing he Would laugh when trying to relate those tales oft told to me. Modest as was his wont to live, he never did disclose, The honor of his father's name, though proud to hear it told Of how for gallant service given, the "Black Eagle" decoration wore, The Kaiser in him - recognized true merit and wise lore. What is it rends the heart with pain, and tears its string asunder? Tis grief for some dear one on on, not far, just over yonder. He's gone, and all his worldly wealth is left for others' joy. His one proud wish and misgift here His one proud wish and mission here was surely no decoy. Why mourn for one called home to God? is easy to proclaim. But comradeship is dear to 'all, and he'll ne'er come again Wit hthat sweet smile and happy way, a heart brimful of cheer. He'd never cease from hoping on, each day, from year to year. To those who ever needful were he'd lend a helping hand. Forgetting self was his strong trait; Ah, yes, dear Louis, and I've seen the struggling hard to win, though silent thou would be. To e'er complain of the hard lot, but bore it manfully. Yours was a life to emulate; fain would I like to try, For thou hast left some good behind; 'twere better others die. That generous heart, now cold in death was eager to respond. Seems like some fevered dream that thou art in the Great Beyond. His home life pure and holy was, a wife, true comrade, she Was ever in his thought for fear that taken she would be Away from him who loved her most, and always tried to please. Whilst in her heart she realized his awful dread disease. Kindness and charity was his Creed, Christ's teaching to mankind. Though we would search this earth of ours none better could we find. So do not call him back again, lest he be on his way the spot rock, and lived tem- S. JE. will Fel- day To join the shining stars to light and guide thee on thy way. Weep on, dear sister. True, 'tis hard to bear those piteous walls. Companionship was dear to you, and let no one assail That honest heart gone home to God—his God, my God, and yours. For He knows best, and in His trust is one long, sweet repose. —Frances Drury Soule. IN MEMORY In loving remembrance of Norman Blount, who entered into rest two years ago, September 22, 1905. Oh, how I loved you, none can tell But God, who has taken you home to dwell. You are gone, but not forgotten. Your memory shall never fade. Your lonely mother will always be found where my dear son is laid. Sadly missed by his lonely mother, LULU C. BLOUNT, 318 S. Compton avenue. Lee's Laxative Cold Cure for coughs and colds, 25c. S. L.

BROOKS, Manager HARAHAN SCORES HARAHAN SCORES ASSERTS FISH BORROWED $1,500, 000 OF I. C. MONEY. STUYVESANT FISH ADMITS THE DEAL Says Transaction Was Regular and That Cash Was Repaid When Due. New York—President Harahan of the Illinois Central railroad evidently is determined to block Stuyvesant Fish in his effort to obtain proxies from a majority of the stockholders of the company. Mr. Fish bases his appeal to the stockholders upon the assertion that the accounts of the company are being padded. Mr. Harahan denies this, claiming that the method of keeping books and accounts and rendering the annual statements are the same as during Mr. Fish's regime. But Mr. Harahan does more than this. He makes the assertion that while Mr. Fish was president of the road, and practically in charge of its finances, he loaned to himself, from funds of the company, the sum of $1,500,000, upon collateral which was unmarketable, and that a director of the company personally loaned him the money to pay the loan at maturity, taking as part security mortgages on Mr. Fish's New York residence and on his interest in the estate of the lace Hamilton Fish. Mr. Harahan attaches to his statement a letter from eight of the directors of the company containing some of their reasons for refusing to vote for Fish's re-election as president. Savs Loan Was Regular. Mr. Fish, when asked over the telephone regarding the truth of Mr. Harahan's statement regarding the $1,500,000 loan, admitted that he had borrowed this sum from the surplus of the company. He said the loan was negotiated regularly, and was made at a time when the company was seeking an investment for its funds and after it had been unable to place it advantageously with any bank. "When the loan fell due," said Mr. Fish, "I proposed to Mr. Harriman to negotiate a new loan with Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Mr. Harriman asked me not to do this, and volunteered to loan me the sum himself. He did so, and I repaid it at maturity." SEEKS CHADWICK DEPOSITION. If Published, Startling Revelations Will Be Made. Pittsburg, Pa.—Mrs. W. C. Jutte, widow of a Pittsburg coal magnate who committed suicide in Atlantic City, has filed a petition in court to have the deposition of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick in the case of Mrs. Jutte against F. N. Hostott and J. W. Friend opened. Mrs. Jutte brought suit against Friend and Hostott to recover stocks and securities valued at $1,000,000, which she declares were taken from her by undue influence. The case is now before the superior court. A deposition of Mrs. Chadwick in relation to the case was taken in the prison in Columbus, O., read to the court and then sealed. It is now in the possession of Prothonetary Kirker, who refuses to give it up without an erder from the court. Judge Shafer has the matter under advisement. In case the deposition be opened it will be made public, and extremely startling things are expected to be revealed in connection with the relations of Mrs. Chadwick and certain Pittsburg millionaires. SOLDIER HAS TWO HEARTS. Liver On Wrong Side, But Health Has Always Been Good. Indianapolis, Ind.—The X-rays have shown that Ira J. Salyards, a private in the army, has two hearts. They beat in unison and are in such perfect accord that they give him no trouble whatever. In addition to this, his liver and spleen are on the wrong side. Salyards did not know that he was in any way abnormal until he enlisted at Terre Haute. The examining surgeon told him his heart was on the wrong side. He was sent to Columbus for closer examination and there two hearts were discovered. He was subjected as tests to long intervals without sleep, long marches and violent exercise. There was no ill effects and the army accepted him. He says he never has had any serious illness. Will Abandon Senate If Guilty Boise, Idaho—If the jury in the case of United States Senator W. E. Borah, charged with complicity in the government land frauds, finds him guilty, the senator has announced he will never occupy his seat in the upper branch of congress. Borah was born at Fairfield, Ill., but went to Kansas when 16 years old and later came to Boise. Girl Dies of Hydrophobia Girl Dies of Hydrophobia. Baraboo, Wis.-Hazel Loomis, 12 years old, died of hydrophobia. She was bitten by a dog four weeks ago. Her brother Howard, 8 years old, was bitten at the same time. He will be taken to Chicago for treatment. Lieutenant Tires of Army Fort Leavenworth, Kas—Second Lieutenant W. F. Kutz of the Eighteenth infantry, which has been ordered to the Philippines, has resigned. He was secretly married to a girl in Independence, Mo., three months ago. NEWS OF MISSOURI Protests Against Local Option. Protests Against Local Option. Jefferson City—The validity of the adoption of local option in Christian county is to be brought before the supreme court for adjudication when that tribunal meets next month. There are two sections of the law, which, it is argued, are in conflict. One of them requires that the petitions submitted to the county court, praying it to submit the local option question to a popular vote, must be signed by taxpaying citizens. The other simply provides that these petitions bear the signatures of citizens. This is the point at issue. Wage War on Wolves. Sedalla—The farmers of the Valda neighborhood, 12 miles north of Sedalla, have bought a pack of five wolf hounds and are making a determined effort to rid the neighborhood of wolves, which have become a pest. A party of hunters started four large wolves in a hunt. Elmer Elliott of Valda and Rev. W. F. Van Over of Kansas City, Kas., killed one of the pack. The wolf measured 5 feet from tip to tip, and the hunters say that one of the wolves which escaped was much larger. Drury Siege Ends. Springfield—Prof. J. M. Weaver, deposed head of Drury academy, has at last vacated his quarters in the boys' dormitory, held by himself and family against the wishes of the board of trustees. Prof. Weaver contended that under the terms of his contract he was entitled to pay for another year and demanded $1,000. It is said he was given $600 and the matter compromised. He has gone to Wheaton, Ill. U. C. V. Commander Elected. Fulton—Z. H. Lowdermilk of Joplin was elected major general of the Missouri division of the United Confederate Veterans at the close of the 1907 reunion of the "boys" who donned the gray, to recite fond reminiscences of the days of iron and powder. W. C. Gibson of Warrensburg was elected brigadier general of the eastern brigade, and O. H. C. Cocron of West Plains, Mo., brigadier general of the western brigade. Former Banker Is Jailed. Oregon—Benjamin Austin, formerly cashier of the Bank of Forrest City in this Holt county, was brought here by Deputy Sheriff George G. Gelvin from Grant, Ore., and placed in jail on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses by getting George H. Minton, Charles O. Van Camp and Albert O. Swope, all well-to-do farmers of this county, to sign a note for him to the Bank of St. Joseph for the sum of $5,000. Lines Stop Issuance of Passes Lines Stop Issuance or Passes. Jefferson City—Atty. Gen. Hadley heard from the Missouri Pacific and Frisco railroads to the effect that they would comply with the request to stop issuing passes to employees, and that they would cancel all existing passes. These two roads were the last to comply with the request made some time ago, giving the reason for the delay an impression that their general solicitors had already issued the request. Four Killed in Wreck. Moberly—Two freight trains on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas collided head-on on a sharp curve one and one-half miles east of Moberly, due to a mistaken order at Paris. Four men were killed outright. The dead are: Engineers Bledsoe and Winiger, Conductor Milksoe and Brakeman Achroeder, all of Hannibal. Both trains were badly wrecked. Bruce Murder Case Up. St. Joseph—The trial of Dr. Bert B. Bruce, charged with the murder of his father-in-law, Ernest J. Geisler, was called in the criminal court. The defendant is the son of J. W.

St. James—Oliver Deletroiz, a Frenchman, living west of here, was shot in the head by an unknown party, and is not expected to live.

SHIFTS COAL DEAL METCALF DODGES RESPONSIBIL ITY FOR $20,500,000 OUTLAYA LEGAL QUESTION IS INVOLVED Yankee Shippers Challenge the Government's Right to Use Alien Vessels. Washington, D. C.—As nearly as possible Secretary Metcalf, of the navy department is going to place the responsibility for spending the $2,500,000 for coal for the Pacific cruise of the battleship fleet upon the shoulders of President Roosevelt. 'He said that owing to the important legal and political questions involved he will not act until after consultation with the president. The political question is, whether congress will s. quietly by and see what one of the naval journals characterizes as a "display of cheap politics and ill-advised vainglory." The legal question is, whether the proposed employment of foreign registered ships in the transportation of coal from one American port to another, in apparent violation of the coastwise navigation laws, is really setting the laws of congress in contempt. Must Use Foreign Ships. The administration has been advised by Attorney General Bonaparte that the discretion vested in the president for using foreign bottoms, if he thinks the rates made by American ships are too high, absolves him from the obligation in the coastwise law. But if foreign ships are used it will not be a question of rates, but of sufficient tonnage and promptness. If the fleet is to go to the Pacific foreign ships must be employed to carry coal. The cruise must be postponed, otherwise, until such time as the limited American shipping facilities can move the coal. The courts will not intervene in any case where discretion is vested in an administrative officer, unless it is charged that he is influenced by corruption or other fraudulent motives. None of the protesting American ship owners go as far as that. Admiral Cowles, chief of the bureau of equipment, said today that from a cursory examination of the bids it is evident that not a pound of Welsh coal will be used, because of the low bids for carrying American coal in foreign bottoms. Calls It an Outrage. W. L. Marvin, a representative of American shipping interests, gave out a statement in which he said the proposed award to foreign ships is an outrage against American ship owners and American sailors and American laborers, because it deprives them of the benefits of the protective policy which this government applies to every other American industry. He contends that the employment American shipping make the cost of operating an American ship so high that it requires $34,000 a year more to operate an American steam collier than a British ship of the same capacity. He contends that the employment of foreign ships would be as flagrant a violation of law as that committed by the Standard Oil Co. COURTESY STOPS ON CENTRAL. Rockefeller, Utility-Law Drafter and Bishop Potter Refused. New York.—No more "courtesy" stops are made on the New York Central. John D. Rockefeller learned this when he wanted to take a fast train at Tarrytown to go to Chicago to testify before Judge Landis. Bishop Potter, too, wanted a rast train stopped somewhere up along the Hudson, so he could get aboard, but was refused. One of the men who drafted the public utilities bill made courtesy stops illegal, forgot about the law and filed a request for a stop at his summer home. He was referred to the provisions of his own bill. The "courtesy" stop has become a great nuisance on all railroads. 150 LIVES LOST IN FLOOD. Klng Alfonso Hastens to Aid of Starving Thousands. Malagna, Spain. — The latest reports place the number drowned by cloudburst and flood in Malaga and neighboring towns at 150. Thousands are homeless and destitute and a famine is threatened. The damage is placed at nearly a million dollars. King Alfonso is on his way to the scene. Americans Shoot Bandit. Durango, Mexico. — A party of 'American mining men were attacked by Julian Reyes, the notorious bandit, and his men in the mountains of this state. The Americans resisted with rifles and pistols and fatally wounded Reyes. No Americans were wounded. Damaged Ships Return to Quebec. Halifax, N. S.—The Allen Line steamer Mongolian, which was in collision with the steamer Hurons, was so seriously injured that she is compelled to return at slow speed to Quebec with her 150 passengers. Grand Duke Reported Dying. Constance, Grand Duchy of Baren—Grand Duke Frederick, who has been suffering from intestinal inflammation for a week or more, is rapidly growing worse and is hardly expected to survive. PROPRIETARY REMEDIES VS. PHYSICIANS' PRESCRIPTIONS PROPRIETARY REMEDIES VS. PHYSICIANS' PRESCRIPTIONS Statistics Show, of the Deaths from Misuse of Drugs in Two Years, Only Three Per Cent. Were Due to Patent Medicines, According to Figures Based on Medical Certificates. The press committee of the Proprietary Association of America will present at the next meeting of that body a report showing the number of accidental deaths caused by patent medicines in the two years ending June 30, 1907, as compared with deaths from other causes. Almost immediately after the beginning of the latest crusade against proprietary medicines this committee was instructed to collect data. This work was done through the clipping bureaus, which furnished accounts of all deaths, exclusive of suicide, due to the misuse of medicines, drugs or poisons. The result showed that only three per cent. could be traced directly to the products made by the members of the association. The greatest care is said to have been exercised in tabulating the figures received. Whenever the cause of death was doubtful, special investigation was made, no matter where the case might have occurred. The work of assorting and preparing the record was done in Chicago, and the original clippings and correspondence are in the possession of Ervin F. Kemp, 184 La Salle street, that city, the association's publicity agent. The report says in part: "A large number of accidents, resulting fatally or otherwise, were caused by the carelessness of persons who left drugs, medicines or poisons within the reach of children. A large number, also, were caused by persons going to medicine cabinets in the dark and taking down the wrong bottle. In no case reported was any medicine, 'patent' or otherwise, held responsible for injury or death except when left within the reach of children or taken or administered in gross overdose." The committee says that it is unlikely that any cases of death from the use of patent medicine escaped the newspapers, but that it is probable that death from the causes tabulated did occur without receiving publicity. Physicians, of course, report the causes of death. The committee says that they would be the last to suppress the cause if due to the use of medicine not regularly prescribed. A recapitulation of the committee's findings show 4,295 cases of poisoning, of which 1,753 were fatal. The greatest number of cases, 1,636, with 803 deaths, is attributed to medicines other than proprietary remedies. There are on the list 90 cases of sickness and 43 deaths due to patent medicines. Analyzing its statistics, the committee finds 201 cases of sickness, with 143 deaths, due to strychnine tablets, which are among physicians' favorite remedies and are often left within the reach of children. Under the head of miscellaneous prescriptions are grouped 44 cases where, the report says, it has been impossible after diligent inquiry to ascertain the name or the character of the drug or medicine which caused injury or death, beyond the fact that the medicine or drug was prescribed by a physician. Of these cases 18 were fatal. The committee says: "Under the head of 'All Patent Medicines' are grouped all those remedies which are recognized as patent medicines and which are advertised direct to the public for internal use. Competent authorities say that at least one-half of the medicines taken in the United States are of the kind known as 'patent medicine,' and yet in two years among 80,000,000 people there have been but ninety cases (forty-three fatal) that have been reported in the newspapers from the use or misuse of these remedies." Not in a single fully substantiated case is it ever charged that any patient medicine in recommended doses was injurious. In this connection it should be understood that in making death certificates and in reporting cases of injury to the newspapers from which these cases were secured, a physician had the final word, and in this connection is there any probability that the doctor will hide his own carelessness or neglect or that of a fellow practitioner whose support he may want at some time, and is there even a possibility that he might hide any responsibility that could be thrown at a patent medicine? Ask yourself these questions. Then when you have found the answer, consider that during all this most thorough and careful investigation covering a period of two years, in not a single established case was it shown that patent medicine in recommended doses was injurious. The most remarkable case reported was that of an Italian laborer in New York who suffered from pains in the chest. A physician ordered a porous plaster which the patient ate, with fatal results. Would Run No Risk. "Darling," said the young man as he bent fondly over her chair, "I would die for you." "Well," rejoined the practical but otherwise fair maid, "the rates of insurance are pretty low. Suppose you get your life insured in my favor for $10,000 and then die for me?" "And let some other fellow luxuriate on the insurance?" exclaimed the wise young man. "Well, I guess not." The impression given at the latest exposition in Berlin of invention is that liquid air will soon enter the field as a very serious competitor of steam and electric power. QUARTERLY REVIEW QUARTERLY REVIEW Sunday School Lesson for Sept.29,1907 Specially Prepared for This Paper SCRIPTURE READING.—Psalm 100. GOLDEN TEXT.—"The Lord is merciful and gracious, to slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy."—Psalm 103: 8. Comment and Thought Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Extent of the History.—Four books of the Bible. The portions of the land where these four narratives are located can be seen by the accompanying outline map. Extent of Time.—Nearly 40 years from the spring of 1491 to the spring of 1451, according to the common chronology in our Bilbe margins. Many scholars think that the date is two or more centuries later. Extent of Territory.—The Sinaitic peninsula, between the two arms of the Red Sea; from Egypt on the west to the Moabite mountains east of the Dead Sea; from the point of the peninsula on the south to the southern boundaries of Palestine on the north; together with the Gilead country east of the Jordan. The Travel Club should trace on the map the movements of the Israelites from Egypt to the encampment by the Jordan opposite; noting the names of the places and the events which took place in them. Perhaps in no way, says Peloubet's Notes, can this review be made more interesting and more effective than by treating the period as an ancient pilgrim's progress and placing the events we have studied beside the famous allegory of Bunyan, Egypt being the City of Destruction, and the encampment in Beulah Land on the borders of the river beyond which was the Celestial City, the Land of Promise. Cause your scholars to remember ever that the Celestial City does not mean merely a place at the end of life, but the heavenly character, heavenly life, and heavenly blessedness here and everywhere. 1. Escaping from Egypt, with religious rites, at the call of Moses, in view of the judgments of God, and feeling bitterly "the degradation of slavery, is like Christian hasting from the City of Destruction with his fingers in his ears, crying, "Life, life, eternal life!" 2. Crossing the Red Sea against opposition, finding the way with difficulty, but helped by God's almighty power, is like beginning the Christian life. 3. The bitter Waters of Marah, the trials of the desert, early in their march to the land of promise, remind us of the Slough of Despond, in which Pliable exclaimed, "Is this the happiness ye have told me all this while of?" 4. The wells and palm trees of Elim show us the spring at the base of the Hill Difficulty, and the pleasant arbor about midway to the top of the hill "made by the Lord of the hill for the refreshing of weary travelers." 5. The Pillar of Cloud and of Fire is represented by Evangelist and the Roll and the Shining Ones. 6. The Enemies, as Amalek and the Canaanites and the sons of Anak, are pictured by Apollyon with his fiery darts in the Valley of Humiliation. 7. The Manna has its counterpart in the Interpreter and the Roll, the teachings of Evangelist, and the supper in the Palace Beautiful, with its "feast of reason and flow of soul." 8. The Golden Calf and its worship is partly paralleled by Worldly Wiseman and others, who sought to turn the pilgrims to other sources of relief than the Cross of Christ and the Wicket Gate. 9. The frequent murmurings and complaints, the bitter doubts whether they would ever reach "the land flowing with milk and honey," remind us of Christian and Hopeful in the Castle of Giant Despair. But as they found the Key of Promise and of hope, so all the things that tried the Israelites were a part of their necessary discipline. They should have made a heavenly ladder of their trials. "Jacob, wrestling all night with the strange power that maims him, clings and wrestles on, and will not let go wrestling until he has extorted a blessing from his hurter." "The hard lot, called poverty, ignorance, narrow conditions, accidents, is waiting to give us, after the struggle, temperance, diligence, fortitude, concentration." 10. The Tabernacle, with all its appointments, is symbolized by the Palace Beautiful, with its armor and supper and chamber of peace. 11. The truths taught by the Day of Atonement and the Brazen Serpent are well expressed by the burden on Christian's back falling off in the presence of the Cross, so he "gave three leaps of joy, and went on singing." 12. The report of the spies reminds us of the Delectable Mountains, whence the pilgrims caught glimpses of the Celestial City. 13. The Israelites' anger at Caleb and Joshua makes us think of the trial of Faithful in Vanity Fair. Agglootch, an Eskimo converted, to Christianity, went all the way from the Aleutian islands to attend the national Christian Endeavor convention lately held in Seattle. He was full of zeal for his new faith; he calmly endured the hardships of travel, and did not flinch before the unwonted heat of the southern summer. But, says Youth's Companion, when he found that he must put on a frock coat and a silk hat for the reception of a distinguished visitor, he lost his nerve, and started for the land of the igloo and the unboiled shirt.

"Men whom the lust of office can not kill, Men whom the spoils of office will not buy, Men who have opinions and a will, Men who have honor, men who will not lie." A political lie is the devil's own child. When men will lie to get your vote, then don't know you after they get it, should be set aside. A man who teaches morality and tells Negro men how to raise their families, he himself ought to possess some guarantee that he is moral himself. NEGROES WHO MUST BE SHOWN. The Colored Republicans of Missouri are in an inquiring frame of mine, and Chairman Howe of the City Central Committee was put forward to explain things. His remarks were conventional and commendable, but we presume they were not satisfying. When a race, a nationality or an element organizes in politics it is usually looking for something besides platitudes. The Missouri Negro Republican League has the spirit of Flanagan, and it wants to know what we are here for. If the time ever comes when a Colored man can ever vote the Democratic ticket without being deserted by his family, put out of church and ostracised by his friends it may be that the men who operate the various Republican machines will be compelled to get nearer to the main question than Mr. Howe did the other day. Post-Dispatch. Sept. 24. AT REST. We were sorry indeed to hear of the death of our old friend, Mr. L. Meyer, No. 1110 Franklin avenue. We were acquainted with him for many years, and his many good traits and qualities will never be forgotten. Many of our people will miss this dear, good man from the walks of this life. Many a time I have heard men and women of my race commend and extol the good deeds of Mr. Meyer toward our people. Let us hope that he is now basking in the sunlight of our God, in the heaven of heavens. This is the wish of the St. Louis Palladium. VISITING FRIENDS Mrs. Della, Neal, of Chicago, arrived in St. Louis last Monday. She formerly lived in St. Louis, but now lives in the Windy City. She is here on business and visiting friends, but our good people have made it so pleasant for her that she has nad little time to attend to business. She speaks in the highest terms of her newly adopted city, Chicago, but she says she loves her old St. Louis. She will leave next Monday for home. She called at our office and paid for the St. Louis Palladium and said she could not do without her St. Louis Palladium, as it is so full of St. Louis news. Mrs. Neal is looking well. We wish her continued success in her new home in Chicago. Behold the State Grand Lodge of Texas, U. B. F., has met and elected their officers and did much good. But the bogus National Grand Master, Walter M. Farmer, was not present. Was it possible that he was doing somebody?—that he had not the time?

Many of our friends and the public in general will be somewhat surprised to learn that we will move from our present location, Jefferson and Scott avenue, for the purpose of consolidating with the Pilgrim Baptist Church, 4200 Kossuth avenue. Sunday, September 29, will be our last day at Jefferson and Scott avenue, and we hope to see all of our members and friends present. We hope it will be thoroughly understood that there is no disposition on the part of the owners of said property to have us move, but that we go of our own accord, believing that it is a little better to buy than rent. We are moving into a locality where Colored people are buying their homes. The tendency of white and Colored churches and schools is toward the west end of the city. Our new high school will be located within a few blocks of Pilgrim Church. We believe that there is an opening for a great Baptist church in the West End, where the masses of our people will be located in a few years. The rapid growth and expansion of downtown business interests is absorbing the old locations formerly occupied by our people, which will force them to seek homes and shelter in the West End.

In his address on the "Door of Hope," delivered as chairman of the Republican City Central Committee to the Negro Republicans of St. Louis, Jephtha D. Howe tells them that the way to get through it is to "cease to agitate the race question and strive instead for moral, intellectual and financial betterment." This is good advice for people of any color. But when Mr. Howe "cracks open" the door of hope in St. Louis and delivers it through the crack as a message to outsiders, does he mean it? Does he really mean a word of it? Doubtless there is in St. Louis now a republican, distinctly Colored, who has ceased to agitate the race question; who has striven instead for miral, intellectual and financial betterment until he pays more taxes than Mr. Howe; until he has a library as large as Mr. Howe's; until he can stand any examination on its contents Mr. Howe can stand; until intelu- INNOUNCEMENT Mercantile Trust Company acquired the business good will of the Lincoln Trust Company.

Now, if such a Republican can be produced in St. Louis, will Mr. Howe be willing to retire to make room for him? If five such, ten such, twenty such or a hundred such can be produced in St. Louis, Chicago, New York or Boston, will the way be opened for them to become chairmen of Republican central committees? If not, what is the meaning of the Republican Door of Hope? And why do Republicans, not Colored distinctly or otherwise, continue to open it wide enough to deliver messages through it to those Negro Republicans who are kept outside of it?—St. Louis Republic, Sept. 24. The astuteness of Mr. Chas. Turner in political matters was clearly demonstrated at the meeting of the Republican State Committee, held in this city on September 12. Mr. Turner, aware of the important action to be taken at that meeting, in that the resignation of the chairman, Mr. Niedringhaus, was to be presented, and in all probability a successor to him elected, he obtained the proxy of an out-of-town member of the committee, and was thus in a position to cast what afterward proved to be the deciding vote in the reorganization of the Stige Committee and the election of Mr. Walter S. Dickey as chairman. A strong effort was made by Mr. Akin, Ben Russell, E. B. Allen, Otto Sifel and other Federal employees and sympathizers to prevent his sitting in the meeting, but their efforts were in vain, and Mr. Turner had the pleasure of deciding the election of Mr. Dickey to the important position of Chairman of the Republican State Committee of Missouri. Mr. Turner's friends are proud of his action and heartily applaud both the deed and the spirit of interest in the party which prompted it, and sincerely commend him for his loyalty to his friends and party. 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. ment!

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons have asked us to grow hair on our head but we do not value our work for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated, and largely by persons whose hair we have actually grown, and the further cause that we have very frequently mentioned us (the hair of our grandmother) that we are using "Hair Grower" or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

Miss Nannie Walton was the bride's attendant and Mr. Willia mDougherty acted as best man. The ceremony was followed by a reception at the home of the parents of the bride. Miss Jones is a graduate of the Summer High and Normal School, and is well thought of by her many friends and associates, as was shown by the numerous presents she received. Mr. Ficklin, although a native of Memphis, Tenn., has been a resident of this city for eight or nine years, and during this time has formed many acquaintances. He is a reliable and straightforward young man and from his seemingly steady disposition he will make an ideal husband. A smoker was given in honor of the groom by the Monuvia Club, of which he is a member, as was also a linen shower tendered the bride by the T. C. G. C., of which she is a member. On account of lack of space, the list of presents is left out. One hundred and fifty persons were invited. Nicely Furnished For Rent at 4120 Chesnut St. Hugh Taylor REPAIRS "For Any Old Stove."

AMUSING IRISH ANECDOTES Impressive Ruins of the Old County Where Philadelphiaians Come From —A Sail Down Donegal Bay—Meeting with Seumas McManus. By CHARLES BATTELL LOOMIS. Donegal, Ireland.—Holland is noted the world over for its neatness. The Dutch housewives spend a good part of each morning in scrubbing the sidewalks in front of their houses. Philadelphia is also a clean town and there you will see housemaids out scrubbing the front stoops and the brick pavements. Now a good part of the inhabitants of Donegal emigrate to Philadelphia (we in America all know the song, "For I'm Off to Philadelphia in the Morning."). Well, the third neatest place that occurs to me is Rathmullan, in Lough Swilly, in County Donegal. Whether Philadelphia is neat because of the Irish or the Irish of Donegal go to Philadelphia because it is neat, I leave to others to determine. All my life I've read and have been told that the north of Ireland was very different from the south; that the people were better off and more thrifty, but I did not expect to see scrupulous neatness. The houses are mostly white and severely plain in line, built of stone faced with plaster, sometimes smooth and sometimes rough finished, but always in apple pie order (unless they were on parade the three days I was there). Even the alleys are sweet and clean, and where the people keep their pigs is a mystery to me. I snapped one but he was being driven (hither and thither after the manner of Irish pigs) and may not have lived in Rathmullan at all. Here in the town of Donegal while the houses are not of Philadelphia neatness, they show evidence of housewifely care, and if there is abject poverty it is carefully concealed. (I have been a week in Ireland and I have not seen a beggar or a drunken man, although I have kept my eyes moving rapidly.) How often must an emigrant who has elected to live in noisome tenements in American cities long for the white cottages and the green lanes and noble mountains and verdant valleys of Donegal! Every hotel at which I have stopped so far has had hot and cold water baths and I have only been to small towns. I heard a bathing story from a vivacious Irish lady at an evening gathering that may never have seen American printer's ink. She said that in former times a lady stopping at a primitive hotel in the west of Ireland asked for a bath. She was told by the maid that a colonel was performing his abultions in the room in which the bathing pan was set. "But he'll not be long, I'm thinkin', miss," said the maid. The lady waited awhile in her room and at last growing impatient, she stepped out into the hall and found the maid with her eye to the key-hole of the bathroom. On hearing the lady's footstep she turned around quite unabashed and said, "He'll be ready in a minute, miss. He's just after gettin' out of the tub." This story was told me in a drawing-room with many young people present, so it must be true, but candor compels me to say that I have observed nothing of the kind on this trip. There are no terrors like those of a bath in an English tub of which I had occasion to speak last year. Speaking of anecdotes, I heard one that concerned the father of the man who showed us through the lovely ruins of McSwiney's castle at Rathmullan. Son, father and grandfather have all in their turn acted as caretakers of the ruins, and proud enough is the son of his position. But it is of the father that the story goes. The wife of an English admiral, whose family were in the habit of being buried in the graveyard adjoining the abbey whenever they died, depart ad this life and to "Jimmy" fell the task of digging her grave. Meeting the admiral some two weeks later he said, "It'll be ten shillings for yon grave." "Is it ten shillings, man?" said the admiral. "Why that's extortionate. I'll pay five shillings and that's a shilling more than usual, but I'll not pay ten shillings." "Ah, well." said Jimmy, composedly, "if ye'll not pay ten shillings then I'll dig her up again." And the admiral knowing Jimmy to be a man of his word paid him what does not look to be an exorbitant price. Among the most impressive ruins in the world are those of the Grianan (or summer palace) of Alleach on Elagh mountain. Here in a circular fort of rocks some 300 feet in circumference that antedates Christ's nativity by from 2,000 to 3,000 years. It is supposed to have been a temple of the sun worshippers and occupies a magnificent and awesome position from which to see either the arrival or the departure of the sun god, for the half of county Donegal lies north, south, east and west at your feet. Such an extended view is seldom vouchsafed to the dwellers within towns and I don't wonder that the sun worshippers built here a temple to their deity. There it still stands, its walls 18 feet high and 12 feet thick. It has been somewhat restored by Dr. Bernard, of Derry, but does not seem to vie with the Giant's Causeway as an attraction to visitors. There were only three persons there when we went up, but there is a holy well just outside of it and from the number of bandages fluttering in the wind there I imagine that a good many maimed people manage to scale the steep ascent. I said that Elagh mountain afforded a fine view for the dwellers within towns. It is only six miles by car and a mile by foot (I suppose seven miles in any manner would cover it) from Derry. By the way, for ease and comfort to a naturally lazy man, commend me to a jaunting car. The cushioned top with which they cover the "well" that lies between the sidewise seats is an admirable place on which to "slop over" and loll on from the seat, and so far from being an insecure perch, it is just as safe as a dog cart or a buggy. And the motion is pleasantly stimulating to the system. The well-built, vigorous, well-fed cob trots with the regularity of a metronome or a London cab horse, reeling off mile after mile. We did our 12 miles to and from Elagh mountain in less than two hours and at a cost of three shillings apiece exclusive of the sixpenny tip. They don't do those things as cheap in New York or Chicago. At Donegal my friend had to see a solicitor on business and after it was over he came to me and said that the solicitor would like to take us sailing down Donegal bay. I was delighted to go, but I wondered whether we would walk down to the bay or ride there. I knew that it was several miles out for I had seen it across the wet sands that stretch from the town's center, seaward. My uncertainty was soon dispelled, for two minutes' walk brought us to where the bare sands had been a few hours before, and lo, Donegal bay had come to us and the solicitor's boat was riding on the water waiting to be off. A tide is a handy thing to have about. As one leaves the inlet and looks back he gets a picture that might have been composed by an exceedingly successful landscape gardener. The trim little town, showing a bit of the ruins of Donegal castle and one graceful church spire, wooded hills running up from the town on either side; back of all this hills of greater magnitude, destitute of trees and then, towering up in the distance, the great, gaunt Barnesmore that forms part of a heaven kissing train. We sailed well out into the bay with favoring winds and had most noble views of purple mountains on every side, but when we turned to go back the wind made off to sea, laughing at us and we came back laggingly, but in plenty of time for a cozy supper in the solicitor's home and an all evening chat with him. We had never met until that day but his welcome was as hearty as if he had been anxiously awaiting our coming. As I got off the train at Donegal heavy hand clapped me on the shoulder and, turning, I saw Seumas Me Manus, whose Irish stories are so well known in America. He lives at Mount Charles, a village lying three Irish miles from Donegal, and nothing would do but my friend and I must have dinner with him. We accepted with pleasure and next day walked up there, meeting more pretty girls returning from mass than it seemed right for two to meet when there are so many people in the world who seldom see a pretty face. But we tried to bear our good fortune meekly and strode on, quite unconscious in the warm sun that an Irish mile has an English mile beaten by many yards. That ought to be cause for satisfaction to any Irishman. McManus has a bungalow on top of Mount Charles and at his feet lie seven counties. They have a way of throwing counties at your feet in this part of Ireland that makes the view superb. The furthemost land that is his to look at on a clear day lies a hundred miles to the south. Such a view ought to stimulate a man to noble thoughts and I was not surprised to learn that McManus is a member of the Sinn Fein (Shinn Fane) society (it means, "Ourselves Alone"), what one might call bloodless revolutionists, although it comprises much of the best blood and the youngest blood in Ireland. McManus is an ardent believer in a glorious future for Ireland when she shall have shaken off the shackles that bind her, and as a good American, I wrote in his guest book, "May Ireland come to her own before I die." (Copyright, 1907, by W. G. Chapman.) Held Up. "Stop!" shouted the man on the country road, holding up a warning hand. Muttering something about rural cops, the automobilist obeyed. "Turn around and come back to town with me," said the stranger. "You were going at least thirty-five miles an hour." "You're a constable, I suppose," said the automobilist, with a covert sneer, when they had reached the village. "Me?" replied the passenger. "No, I'm a farmer, and had to come into town when all the teams was busy. Nice growing weather? Thanks. Good bye." Ensuing comment is purposely omitted. A Nice Distinction "Hello! what dropped you here?" exclaimed the man in the next county. "It wasn't a drop-kick at all," feebly replied the poor fellow who had been monkeying with the mule. "I'm sure it was a punt." C.B. FIZER MR. C. B. FIZER, Mt. Sterling, Ky. writes: "I have suffered with kidney and other trouble for ten years past. "Last March I commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have not used it since, nor have I felt a pain. "I believe that I am well and I there fore give my highest commendation to the curative qualities of Peruna." Pe-ru-na For Kidney Trouble Mrs. Geo. H. Simser, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes: "I had not been well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and in fact, felt badly nearly all the time." "This summer I got so very bad I thought I would try Perma, so I wanted to you and began at once to take Perma and Manalin. "I took only two bottles of Perma and one of Manalin, and now I feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Perma and Manalin care me and made a different woman of me altogether. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Perma." "It is the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. They are times when they need a little assistance. Perma is exactly the sort of remedy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys毒 vice at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens. KNEW VALUE OF AN OATH, Colored Witness at Least Was Aware of Its Peculiary Worth. Clarence S. Darrow, the well known lawyer and essayist, discussing the Haywood trial, in which he played so prominent a part, said the other way: "Some of the evidence in that trial was so transparently false that it reminds me of a case that came in Alabama a few years back. One of the witnesses in this case was an extremely ignorant man. As his testimony progressed, his ignorance came so shockingly evident that the judge, looking sternly down at the said: "Look here, sir, are you acquainted with the value of an oath? "The witness answered anxiously, "Jedge, I hope I am. That the lawyer on yer left hand gimme lars to swar agin the other side. That's the correct value of an oath can't it, jedge?" Transmission of Warts. "Recent experiments show that popular belief that warts are non-municable is warranted," says writer. "Inoculation of healthy tissue with blood obtained from a wart causes the growth of a similar crescence. It is thought that the growths contain an ultramicroscopic germ to which is due the transmission from one person to another. At events, persons who have warts should take measures to have them removed at once." PUTS THE "GINGER" IN. The Kind of Food Used by Athletes A former college athlete, one of the long distance runners, began to lose his power of endurance. His experience with a change in food is interesting. "While I was in training on the track athletic team, my daily jogs came a task, until after I was put Grape-Nuts food for two meals a day. After using the Food for two weeks felt like a new man. My digestion was perfect, nerves steady and I was of energy. "I trained for the mile and the half mile runs (those events which result so much endurance) and then the last daily 'jogs', which before had been such a task, were clipped off with ease. I won both events. "The Grape-Nuts food put me in thefect condition and gave me my 'girls Not only was my physical condition made perfect, and my weight increased, but my mind was made cle and vigorous so that I could get my studies in about half the time merely required. Now most all of University men use Grape-Nuts they have learned its value, but think my testimony will not be am and may perhaps help some one learn how the best results can be taled." There's a reason for the effect Grape-Nuts food on the human body and brain. The certain elements wheat and barley are selected with special reference to their power for building the brain and nerve cells. The product is then carefully a scientifically prepared so as to make it easy of digestion. The physical mental results are so apparent as two or three week's use as to produce a profound impression.

Uganda had extraordinary tra- gedies. Among the rest was the death of the missionary, Bishop Hannington, who was murdered by an African chief by command of the wicked King | Mwanga, _ Mwanga was the son of the king who first greeted the missionaries in 1877. Mtesa, the father, bade them hearty welcome, and was very desir- ‘ous to know whether they had brought “the Book” with them. But his friend- ship was fickle; and the son who suc- ceeded him was both a worse man ‘than his father and a weaker one; and under his reign the missionaries were often in peril of ‘their lives, and some of them, like Hannington, met ‘martyrdom. It was a most discouraging sequel ‘to the weleome accorded the mission- aries by Mwanga’s father, and there “were those in England who proposed ‘to give up the mission altogether. By that time Mackay was there, and by | his courage and tenacity and the faith- ful devotion of others thé mission con- tinued, ‘The son of the king who welcomed the missionaries became the murderer of the missionaries. But he, too, had a son. In 1885 Hannington was mur- dered. Twenty-one years later, in 1906, the son of Haunington baptized the present king, sou of the man who murdered his father. Here, surely, was an example of poetic justice, and @ proof of the value of holding on. Religion, says theh Youth’s Compan- fon, has a firm hold in Uganda to-day, and thousands attend worship every Sunday. Those who endured the per- secutions of 20 years ago rejoice that times have changed. ‘The life of Hannington was not thrown away. Men die, but the work lives. There is a verse in the Psalms which is full of promise for genera- tions that have reached the limit of their upward progress: “Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.” NOTES. The Salvation Army is established in 52 countries and colonies and preaches the gospel in 31 languages. “How shall we secure a greater at- tendance of young people at our Sun. day schools?” inquires an anxious su- perintendent.

One of them returned from Japan last month, where she had been a mission- ary for 13 years. She left her two young children in America when she went to teach Christianity to the Jap- anese, and when she returned they had grown so that she did not recog- nize them as they stood on the pier, waiting for her to disembark from the steamship. If the Japanese do not ap- preciate the sacrifice that she has made for their sake, remarks Youth's Companion, all mothers will under- stand how great it was. Agnes Paynter and Nellie M.

When this section gets a railroad: which it soon will have, and must have, as the country demands it, that section will be equal in value with any section in the state, because you can grow whatever you wish to plant, and it ean be kept growing, with the abundance of water which is obtainable either in shallow or artesian wells.

TRUSTED TO THE MOSQUITOES. All Officer Had to Do Was Sit on the Bank and Wait. County Game Warden Charles Dan- fel trusts to nature and that accounts for the capture of Dugull Bell, living on Anchor street, River Rouge. The other morning Charles went out to round up some duck hunters. Down the road near the marshlands he saw Bell making away with a mud hen. He gave chase. Overtaking Dugull, that | worthy hunter did the only thing left | for him to do—leaped into the bog. Daniel's 200 pounds didn’t permit him , to follow. So he sat down on the | bank and waited. Out in the bog, waist deep, stood Dugull. On the bank, lazily smoking, the warden smiled as he saw an army of mosquitoes approaching. He cov- ered his head with the automobile robe. Under cover he could hear the buzzing and imagine the rest. When the buzzing ceased he looked at Due gull. Big welts covered his face, neck’ and hands. He didn’t say a word. Daniel waited. Two hours later Bell said, “I've had enough.” He came out of the bog, was arrested and later released on his promise to appear in court—Detroit News. Fireproof writing paper is the latest novelty.

Tea, not from leaves, but from the flowers alone of the plant, is rarely en- countered in commerce.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA. Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep— Hands, Arms and Legs Affected —Cuticura Cured in 6 Days. “I had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affected parts were my hands, arms and legs. They were the worst in the winter time, and were always itchy, and I could not keep from scratching them. I had to keep both hands bandaged all the time, and at night I would have to scratch through the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me but they could not give me a permanent cure nor even could they stop the itch- ing. After using the Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and I never felt better in my life than I do now.
