DRY FARM CONGRESS OCT.22 REPORTED RACE RIOT FALSI. Officers Find Only Colored People Concerned A great deal of excitement was occasioned in the vicinity of Depew, Okla., early this week by the report of a race riot between whites and colored people of the Spring Creek community. But "race riot" is now reported to be internal—that is, that all the participants were colored people. A report from Depew dated Oct. 7 says: The Spring Creek race riot, which has proven very one-sided, as only negroes were concerned, according to the latest conclusions of officers, has subsided without very serious results. No arrests have been made, no negroes have left the country and there are no indications of further trouble. But things happened mighty fast while the excitement lasted. Letters warning a number of families to leave the country were received, two houses dynamited and a barn burned, all within a period of two days. The Spring Creek district is in the western portion of Creek county. The families of Thomas Mukes, Ben Canady and a man named White, all received black hand letters warning them to leave the country. The next day Mrs. Mukes discovered the barn on the farm on fire and also a fire under the house. The woman and four children ran out and a few moments later an explosion took place which wrecked the entire building, one boy attempting to throw water on the fire, being seriously injured. The barn burned to the ground, destroying eighty bales of hay and 250 bushels of corn. Within half an hour an explosion wrecked the home of the Canada family, less than half a mile away. Several negro men were in the house at the time, but all escaped serious injury. One side of the house was completely torn away. Dic Bardons' On the last page of this issue we carry a half page ad of the Dick Bardon Brokerage firm. It is nothing for any kind of merchant to advertise in newspapers, but it certainly means something for them to live up to their advertisements. The Dick Bardon store is one of the best and most favorably known stores in Tulsa—known not only to the moneyed class but to the working man and woman as well. Perhaps there is no man in Tulsa who is doing more to help others to help themselves than Dick Bardon. A visit to this store will convince you that it is far above the regular "pawn shop." It is a place where you may get relief from financial distress or where you can save money for yourself in the purchase of the many beautiful and useful articles which will certainly catch your eye when you step inside the door. Suppose you stop in and get acquainted with Dick Bardon.

To properly arrange details for the handling of huge crowds is a big job in any convention city. On the first day of October, however, the citizens of Tulsa had completed plans to fully entertain the largest number of people ever gathered together at any place in Oklahoma. Today Tulsa can give every assurance of adequate and comfortable accommodation for her thousands of visitors during the International Dry-Farming Congress, October 22 to November 1. Every hotel, every rooming house and every restaurant in the city has been busy preparing to take care of the enormous influx of strangers and facilities have been increased to handle with ease, a daily attendance of over 10,000 people. Bureaus of information will be open day and night near the railroad stations and visitors will be furnished with full information as to the location, prices and equipment of hotels, rooming houses, restaurants and private homes. Hundreds of private families are preparing to serve meals to their guests at moderate prices and every business man in the city has agreed that there shall be no increase in the price of accommodations or necessities during the Congress and Exposition. Old World Famous to Describe Successful Dry Farming Methods. How to grow next year's crops on this fall's rain. This is the big secret which will be told to the world at the International Dry-Farming Congress in Tulsa beginning October 27. Many men say it can't be done, but there will be hundreds of other men at the Tulsa Congress who have actually succeeded in doing it and who will be glad to tell how. One man from South Africa will tell how he grew seventeen bushels of wheat and twenty-five bushels of corn per acre in 1912 on one-half an inch of rainfall between planting time and harvest. Another from Stratton, Neb., will furnish proof that he raised 82 bushels of 62-pound wheat this year on four and a quarter inches of rain between January 1 and August 30. A third, from Peyton, Colorado, will be there to give the details of how he raised 2,000 bushels of wheat on 100 acres of ground with but four inches of rain from the day he planted the wheat to the day he cut it. Those men, and many others, will insist that they get good crops in bad years principally by knowing how to hold the moisture of an entire year in the soil for use when needed by the growing crops. For five full days these men will tell what they have done, how they did it and how much net profit they made, and they will point to a solid ten acres of good crop samples. Any farmer in the southwest whose crops were cut by drought in 1913 will be well repaid for a trip to Tulsa between October 27 and October 31. THE INTERNATIONAL DRY FARM CONGRESS.

Amusement Section of Dry-Farming Congress Named For Noted Author. Like every other world's fair and great exposition, the international Dry-Farming Congress at Tulea, Oklahoma, October 22 to November 1 will have its boulevard of amusements and concessions. In this instance it will be known as the "Irving Trail" bringing to mind the historical "Tour of the Plains" by Washington Irving in 1832. Washington Irving passed through the present townsite of Tulsa on this tour and camped on the Lost City hills overlooking the Arkansas river and valley. On the Irving Trail will be assembled the greatest aggregation of high class shows and wholesome amusements ever seen in Oklahoma. The attractions will line both sides of the trail, and at night the boulevard fun and frolic will be a blaze of electric illumination. Among the feature attractions on the avenue will be one of the greatest carnival companies in America; a wonderful congress of cowboys, cowgirls and Indians participating in the sports and pastimes of frontier life in the west, and a typical Osage Indian village, containing in primitive surroundings hundreds of men, women and children of this richest tribe of Indians on earth. Flashing uniforms and martial music will also be marked features of the Congress and Exposition. One of the best concert bands in the country will furnish daily music. The United States government is sending the artillery band of forty pieces from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, one of the finest military bands in the service, to Tulsa for the entire ten days. A big detachment of United States troops from Fort Logan H. Roots, Arkansas, will act as military escort to visiting governors, senators, congressmen and foreign dignitaries and will be seen in daily maneuvers on the exposition grounds.

CHICAGO POLICE ARE BAFFLED Refuse to Believe Girl Victim of the “White Slavers."—There Are No Clues Whatever to the Crime. Chicago.—Miss Ida G. Leegson, art student, whose nude body was found on the prairie west of here, was lur- ed to her death by some man who tel- ephoned to her in response to her ad- vertisement for @ place as a nurse, This was the conclusion of the police after ‘more than twenty-four hours’ search, which resulted, the police ad- mit, in no trail that can direct them to the murderer. ‘The thin silken fish line found near the body and the bruised circle it left around Miss Leegson’s neck, showed them the manner of her death. Her tattered clothes strewn for half a mile along the road approaching the prairie and the bruises on the body indicated that death came only after she had made a hard struggle but there was nothing fowad to show by whom Miss Leegson had been induced to visit the lonely spot on the western outskirts of the city. After giving up her position as a school teacher in a Mason City, Iowa, school, Miss Leegson went to Chicago and engaged a room with Mrs. James P. Burnett, saying she was going to try to earn more money to continue her art studies. Saturday she in- serted an advertisement in a paper asking for a place as a trained nurse Saturday afternoon a telephone cal! came from a “Mr. Wilson,” who, when told Miss Leegson was out, inquired closely after her personal appear: ances. An hour later he called again and asked her to go to a point on the _West side to care for his wife. The street address given by “Mr. Wilson” proved to be a vacant lot on the prairie. A canvass of the houses in the vicinity of the prairie showed none occupied by anyone named Wil- son The possibility that Miss Leegson was-lured to her death by an organiz- ed band of “white savers,” while be- ing tnvestigated by the police, is not believed by them to offer a solution of the mystery. An investigation among the teachers at the university of Chicago and at the art institute in- dicated that the murdered woman had been known for her industry, that she had no man friends, and that her nights had been spent in study The police are searching for the dark colored, high covered automobile described by Willlam Salvage, a switchman on the belt line road, where such « car passed this crossing Satur- day night and that {t had returned an hour or so later. Miss Leegson's hand satchel was found Monday a block from where the body lay. It had been slashed with a knife and its contents removed, ex- cept a pair of stackings and a piece of soap. : Don't Believe Spencer's Story.

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young girl's after a "Danderine hair cleanse." Just try this—moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. Besides beautifying the hair at once, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair. But what will please you most will be after a few weeks' use when you will actually see new hair—fine and downy at first—yes—but really new hair—growing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty, soft hair and lots of it, surely get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderline from any store and just try it. Adv. And the Blind Could See. That the day of miracles is not passed is the belief of a man who sat in upper Broadway, with green goggles on his eyes and a placard bearing the words "I am blind" hung on his neck. Pennies and nickels were being dropped into his tin cup by sympathetic passersby. Finally a woman dropped a quarter into the cup. A hobo standing near by saw the blind man, also the quarter that the woman dropped into the tin cup. And he deftly picked the quarter out. Then the "miracle" was performed. The goggles were thrown off and the blind man gave chase to the thief. It was a good race. The hobc was no slouch of a runner, but the blind man caught him after two blobs "run" and got his quarter back. Then, with "I am blind" dangling from his neck, he started back to his stand. "Say, you can see pretty well for a blind man," said a man who had invested a nickel's worth of pity. "It's a miracle, that's what it are," said the blind man solemnly. "The shock of losing that quarter brought back my sight! It's just plumb wonderful." "GASCARETS" FOR LIVER; BOWELS No sick headache, billiousness, bad taste or constipation by morning. Get a 10-cent box. Are you keeping your bowels, liver, and stomach clean, pure and fresh with Cascarets, or merely forcing a passageway every few days with Salts, Cathartic Pills, Castor Oil or Purgative Waters? Stop having a bowel wash-day. Let Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour and fermenting food and toul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will make you feel great by morning. They, work while you sleep—never gripe, sleken or cause any inconvenience, and cost only 10 cents a box from your store.

TARIFF CHANGES IN THE NEW REVISION MEASURE ARE MANY Special Session of Congress Has Produced a Bill Which Makes for Reduction in a Number of Important Duties Income Tax to Produce Revenue. Washington -The Democratic tariff revision bill arrived at its last congressional stage when it came back to the house from the final conference committee with the unanimous indorsement of the Democratic conferences. The measure, of course, has both its friends and enemies. According to the administration, it carries out tour of the party promises. Tariff reform, reduction in the high cost of living, campaign against the trusts, in that duties have been taken off of many trust made article, and the income tax. The measure, consequently, has a larger importance than that of a mere tariff reform bill, and its effect must be widespread, both on business and industry, and also in connection with politics. Democratic leaders are confident that business will suffer no untoward effect; that consumers will be benefited. The bill imposes an average ad valorem rate of from 27 to 29 per cent. The average for the present Aldrich law is 40.12 per cent. The average for the Wilson-Gorman act was 39.45 per cent. Duties generally have been reduced on all of the articles that enter into the necessaries of life, including the products of the farm as well as manufactured products. Trust made products in many cases have been transferred to the free list or the duties at present imposed have been substantially reduced. The income tax feature of the bill is expected to net some $83,000,000. It will call for a tax on net incomes of unmarried persons of $3,000 and upwards and on net incomes of married persons living together, where the wife or husband is dependent, of $4,000 and upwards. Experts' estimates indicate a surplus of $16,000,000 over all expenditures at the end of the present fiscal year. A rate of 40 per cent. is imposed on stockings and half hose valued at not more than 70 cents a dozen pairs. For stockings between 70 and $1.20 a dozen pairs a duty of 40 per cent. was agreed upon. The conferences eliminated the provision inserted by the senate denying entry into the American market of goods manufactured by children under 14 years of age. The final agreement provided that any person employed to collect the income tax may be utilized by the secretary of the treasury in the general service of the internal revenue bureau. Agricultural Products and Provisions. Cattle, sheep and other domestic animals suitable for use as food, wheat and wheat products and eggs, have been transferred to the free list. Reductions have been made on oats, butter, beets, frozen eggs, peas, greenhouse stock, rante currants, chocolate and cocoon sweetened and extracts of meats from the rates provided by the house. The rates have been increased over those provided by the house on broken rice, fish packed in oil and ground spices. A rate of 20 per cent ad valorem is placed on ground spices in addition to the specific rate provided by the house on unground. The senate receded from the reduced rate placed on flaxseed and its amendment placing a duty on bananas. The house classification on lemons and other citrus fruits is accepted. Papers and Books The house rates have been reduced on common paper, box, boards, papers partly covered with metal leaf or gelatine and plain basic papers for albumizing for photographic printing. The rates provided by the house for surface-coated papers suitable for covering boxes has been increased from 35 to 40 per cent. The senate amendments placing specific rates graduated according to thickness and size have been agreed to with several reductions in the rates provided. The rates agreed to are approximately equivalent to the ad valorem rates provided in the house bill. A specific rate has been placed on lithographic views of scenes and buildings located in the United States instead of the advalorem rate provided by the house. This amendment results in an increase in the rate of duty. Cotton Manufactures. The senate classification of cotton cloth, according to the average number of the yarns contained therein, was accepted, instead of the house provision for the highest number. This slightly decreases the rate of some ray weaves and novelty cloth, but the greater bulk of cotton cloth the yarns not affected. The rates on ray and dyed colored yarns are TARIFF CHANGES FOR HOUSEWIFE TO NOTE Washington.—Following are the changes made by the new tariff bill in the rates charged for imports of household necessities: Present law.

The rates on handkerchiefs or mufflers, not hemmed, have been deduced from 30 per cent., as provided by the house, to 25 per cent. POINTS ABOUT INCOME TAX. It has been figured that a revenue of $82,298,000 will be afforded by the imposition of the income tax, of which the following is the schedule: $3,000 to $20,000.....1 per cent $20,000 to $50,000.....2 per cent $50,000 to $75,000.....3 per cent $75,000 to $100,000.....4 per cent $100,000 to $250,000.....5 per cent $250,000 to $500,000.....6 per cent More than $500,000.....7 per cent So far as the taxable American is concerned, the income tax law is now practically in force against him. While the tariff law in which the law is embodied will not be signed until next week, the first returns do not have to be made to the internal revenue collectors before March 1, 1914. But when the returns are made they will cover the income of citizens from March 1, 1913, to December 31, and the first payment of tax will be for money received during this period. Every single person (citizen or foreign resident) whose annual income exceeds $3,000, and every married person with an income above $4,000, is expected to report his or her receipts in detail to the government agents March 1 of each year. President Wilson, the federal judges of the Supreme court now holding office and employes "of a state or any political subdivision thereof," are the only persons specifically exempted from the tax by the new law. The president and judges now in office were made exempt to escape any questions of the constitutionality of the law and their successors in office will be compelled to pay the tax. First Burden Is on Citizen. The general public is expected to give close study to the new law in the next few months, as the first burden of the tax payment rests with the individual citizen, and his failure to report his income is punishable by a fine. It is admitted that when first returns are made many taxable persons TARIFF CHANGES FOR Washington.—Following are the bill in the rates charged for import Present la Sugar .....48.5 per cent Tea .....Free. probably will escape payments, but with each year the government's lists of persons with taxable incomes will be made more nearly complete. Methods of Collecting Tax. Two primary methods of collecting the tax are contained in the law. One is that the individual return made by the citizen; the other the returns by corporations and other employers who pay their employees' taxes "at the source." Under the law as it will be signed by President Wilson next week, every large company employing labor will be compelled to report any regular salaries it pays in excess of the $3,000 figures, and will pay the taxes for its employees and deduct the tax from their pay envelopes. This "payment at the source" will apply to salaries, rents interests, royalties, partnership profits and some other sources of income, and persons receiving such incomes must be prepared to show that the money has paid its tax at its source. In figuring up his net income for the taxpayer, the American business man, after deducting $3,000 for himself, or $4,000, if married, will have the right to claim the following additional exemptions: Necessary expense of carrying on business, not including personal, living or family expenses. Interest paid out of indebtedness. National, state, county, school or municipal taxes paid within the year. Trade losses, or storm or fire losses, not covered by insurance.

It is a clear provision of the law, however, that the taxable person must make a return to the internal revenue collector for his entire "net income," and exemptions claimed under the law must be submitted to the federal officers for them to determine upon their reasonableness or legality. Ready to Answer Questions. The treasury department is preparing for a flood of questions about the new income tax, realizing that this feature of the tariff bill about to become law strikes more intimately at the tax paying citizen than do the indirect taxes collected through the customs duties. For the first year the citizen will make return to the local internal revenue collector before March 1, 1914, as to his earnings from March 1, 1913, to the end of this year. The collector will notify him June 1 how much he owes and the tax must be paid by June 30. After next year the tax will apply on the full calendar year.

A nail is a short piece of iron which a man uses to aim at while he is hammering his thumb. Nails come in various sizes. A tack is a baby nail which is fond of standing upon its head in the dark when you are turkey-trotting around the room in bare feet, trying in vain to locate an electric button. An adult nail is two or three inches long and comes in boxes which are sent to you by express upon which you have to pay the charges, which have already been collected by the express company at the other end. Not being able to find the hammer, you vainly endeavor to extract this nail and others of its kind from the box, both with and without prayer, until you finally succeed in wrenching the top off the box with superhuman strength while your wife looks on with superb diedain. Nails are also used to build houses, as sinkers on fish lines, and when applied internally to the feet, to promote and foster lockjaw. They come in vast quantities in hardware and department stores, but when you want just one to drive into the bathroom wall during your wife's absence to hang a razor strop on, you might as well look for a needle in a haystack or a square deal in a state legislature.—Life.

Public Health. Diseases and epidemics used to be counted as "acts of God." In the old legal phrase. It has taken modern sanitary science to discover that the most of them result from acts of man, and that a good portion of the rest may be controlled by the exercise of man's power over nature. The United States government has been a pioneer among the nations in demonstrating the power of modern sanitation to save life. It sent Waring to Havana; he made it a city of health, and laid down his life in so doing. It took a fever-smitten tropic wilderness, its noxious jungles steaming under a torrid sun, and the death rate of the Panama Canal Zone is today an example to the most salubrious regions of the world. The whole history of modern sanitation tends to drive home public responsibility for public health. St. Louis Republic.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Fifty years ago Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing 4,000,000 slaves. He did it as a war measure, intended to cripple the states of the Confederacy. Today 10,000,000 Afro-Americans in this country are celebrating the semi-centennial anniversary of Lincoln's proclamation. What have these 50 years of freedom done for the colored man? A glance over the exhibits shown at the buildings of the Emancipation celebration, at Broad street and Oregon avenue, helps to answer this question. More than 20 inventions, many of which have made their inventors rich men, a library containing 800 books of every description, written by colored authors; exhibits educational, medical, industrial and social, all make a striking impression illustrating the native capacity of the African race. The buildings house virtually every type of exhibit shown in the most advanced industrial exhibitions. Perhaps the most interesting are those showing the inventive genius of the colored people of this state. Most of these inventions come from the western part of the state, where the foundries, coal fields and gigantic factories offer the best opportunity to men who desire their own betterment. S. R. Simmons began life as one of a family of ten, living in a little cottage in Monongahela. He obtained some primary education, but the necessity for taking up the broad struggle was thrust upon him at an early age. He became a laborer in one of the great foundries of the town. That was more than 20 years ago. Today there is scarcely a piece of steel cast in Pennsylvania which is not rendered more perfect by the use of casting of S. R. Simmons' casting nozzle. Today, in addition to having invented a number of appliances which materially lessen the labor in the foundries, Simmons is the owner of a foundry in his native town and enjoys the distinction of being the only colored foundry proprietor in the state. Simmons cast the exact model of the Liberty Bell, which is one of the first exhibits seen by visitors as they enter the grounds. This model was made by him expressly for use during the exhibition, and when it is over will be presented to the Bethel Afro-American church at Sixth and Lombard streets. This is said to be the only exact reproduction of the Liberty Bell in existence. Simmons made the model himself, doing all the preliminary draughting work and making the mold with his own hands. In the Lancaster county exhibit stand is a small but perfectly made cannon, capable of firing three-inch shells. This gun was made by a colored man of Lancaster, Pa., who has never had any education of a technical nature. Another invention attributed to the same person is a three-barreled repeating rifle. There are numbers of other exhibits in the Lancaster county stand, including specimens of household work, agricultural productions and industrial activity. One corner of one of the two buildings is partitioned off. Within stands the complete equipment of a small newspaper office. Every piece of machinery in this inclusion was made by colored workmen. It is proposed to publish a daily paper with this plant. The first issue of the Emancipation News will appear tomorrow morning. The paper is to be edited The world's supply of emery comes from Greek islands and from Asia Minor. Exportation has been lessened within the last year because of the Balkan trouble. A complete steam engine mounted on two wheels and light enough to be handled by two men, has been invented in England for suburban and private use. The United States has an enormous appetite for Swiss cheese. About 25 per cent. of all the Swiss cheese produced comes to this country. In 1812 some 64 new industrial enterprizes were founded in Spain, capitalized at sums aggregating more than $21,000,000. The Swedish government operates public employment bureaus. Their services are free of charge. A calling vessel built 103 years ago recently began another voyage from England to South Africa. TULSA, OKLA, STAR CAN CULLINGS Another invention of interest exhibited is a model coke-drawing machine, invented and patented by John Hayes, of Uniontown. This machine is at present in use in most of the large blast furnaces of western Pennsylvania. It is said that by the use of this invention one man is enabled to do the work of 100. One of the most interesting of the exhibits is the library. In this exhibit stand the shelves are lined with more than 800 books on every conceivable topic written and published by colored persons. Many of these have been lent to the exhibition commission by the Congressional library. Others, some 400 in number, were obtained from the National library of Haiti through the efforts of Dr. William Furness, American minister to Haiti. Many of the works are written in French, German and Spanish. The school exhibit occupies nearly one end of the main building. In this the manual work done by colored students of the following schools is shown: The Durham, Reynolds, Gill, Pollock, Meehan and Wilmot schools in this city, and the public schools of Lancaster, Pittsburgh, Sunbury, Harrisburg and a dozen other Pennsylvania cities. The work shown includes tables, chairs, stools, desks book racks and shelves and a number of other articles. The Berean School of Manual and Industrial Training has a separate exhibit showing every type of manufactured article. This is a local institution, whose building is at 1934 South College avenue. Next to the school exhibit is the are gallery. Although the pictures shown are far from being the equal of the mechanical and school exhibits in displaying intellectual development, several are remarkable for an original grasp of their subjects, compensating for the lack of accurate technique. The majority of these deal with racial subjects, denoting allegorically the advance of the African race in the last fifty years. Unquestionably the best work shown was by George W. Clinton and Lorenzo Harris, of this city. Both have studied abroad for several years. One of the most interesting of the exhibits was that of the doctors, nurses and social service workers. In one angle of the building was a completely equipped "baby saving" show. In another part of the same exhibit a stand was devoted to a series of colored charts showing the progress of the race for the last fifty years. The Berean school is also exhibiting an industrial department. In this 20 girls sit at sewing machines and turn out shirtwaists and other articles of wearing apparel. Another part of this industrial stand is the wood working department where men and boys make furniture before the eyes of the spectators.—Philadelphia Record.

Glasgow corporation tramways carried during the last financial year 270,000,000 passengers, an increase of 38,000,000 over the previous year. The Balkan war has brought about a rise in certain lumber prices in Europe because of the big demand for wood for ammunition boxes. Gold is being mined at a depth of more than 5,000 feet in South Africa, and it is believed that the shafts can be sunk 3,000 feet more. Venice is wrestling with the peculiar problem of a rapidly increasing population without being able to enlarge the city. Many a woman can't remember what her husband said when he proposed, because she did the proposing. A typical "mover" of the ultra-shiftless type was passing a few days at a cow camp in Arizona, preparatory to going into the desert on a prospecting trip. His wife, a tired out, faded out creature, complained to some of the cowhands of the hardness of her lot; and the foreman took it upon himself to remonstrate with the husband for his shiftlessness and his indifference to his wife's welfare. "The old woman ain't got no kick comin'!" said the husband when he had heard the foreman's remarks. "She ain't got no kick at all. Why, stranger, when we wuz fixin' to camp of a night many a time I've driv' the team half a mile out of the way so's wood and water would be handy fur the old woman to fetch!"—Saturday Evening Post.

WOMEN'S COUNTERS MEN'S SOLL-TREE MEN'S GOTHAM WOMEN'S PARKS LEATHER CORTHEPEDIC TAKE NO SUBSTITUTE MRS. RIVERS DISCLOSES SECRET Matter Didn't Prove Experiment After All, and She Now Makes It Public. Mineral Springs, Ark—In a letter from this place, Mrs. J. M. Rivers says: "If it had not been for Cardul, the woman's tonic, no doubt I would have been in my grave. I was sick all of the time for 10 years, and took medicines constantly. I suffered terribly. At last, I decided I would just try Cardul on my own hook, and kept it a secret. It was certainly a God-send to me. Since taking it, I have no pain whatever, feeling good, and can wrestle with my 16-year-old son. In fact, I don't feel over 16 myself. Am as happy as a lark. When I began taking Cardul I only weighed 101 lbs. Now I weigh 117½ lbs., and am going to continue taking Cardul until I weigh 135. I just can't say enough for Cardul, and I believe if all women who suffer from womanly troubles would take it, there would be more happy homes." Using Cardul is no experiment. It has stood the most severe of all tests—the test of time. Cardul has been ha use for over half a century, and in this time has benefited more than a million women. It is composed of purely vegetable ingredients, which have been found to build up the vitality, tone up the nerves, and strengthen the womanly constitution. That it has helped others is the best of proof that it will help you. Try Cardul. N. B—Write to.

Over the Teacups An open fire, blue tea things on the table, and a teakettle singing a little song of comfort are the proper stage settings for this little anecdote. An Irish hostess, when she asks if you'll have sugar in your "tay," holds out the bowl and absent-mindedly goes on with her conversation, or stirs the fire, allowing you to help yourself. An English hostess asks: "One lump of two?" and carefully drops the sugar into your tea. If you should ask a Scotch hostess for a little more sugar in your tea she would demand, with a note of surprise: "And hae ye stirred it yet" The Difference. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, at one of those sumptuous Newport entertainments that have made her famous, talked with her shrewd humor of a mercenary marriage. "And that man," said Mrs. Fish's interlocutor, in a shocked tone—"and that man to marry that beautiful girl! But isn't there a tremendous difference in their ages?"

BEAUTIFUL MEDALS TO BE AWARDED AT TULSA DRY-FARMING CONGRESS Any man who wins a prize at the International Dry Farming Congress and Exposition at Tulsa will at once achieve a reputation that is more than national. Good farmers would compete if the value of the prizes were but a penny each, for the honor in itself is worth white. The Congress, however, never does things by half nor in the ordinary way. Its prizes for the Tulsa Exposition will be greater in value than those of any other fair or exposition in the United States on similar classes of entries, but they will not be given in money except in a few instances.
