SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1914 Tulsa Man Goes To Okmulgee Tulsa Man Goes To Okmulgee L. W. Wells, a popular and prosperous citizen of this city is in Okmulgee this week completing arrangements to open a high class cafe and grocery store. He has bought a considerable amount of high grade furniture and fixtures and shipped them to Okmulgee where he expects to start business next week. Mr. Wells is a successful chef who has made good at his trade and has a host of friends here in Tulsa. That he thinks well of Okmulgee is evidenced by the fact that he declined to accept a very flattering offer here last week preferring to try the new oil town. Belieives In Chief The following communication was received from one P. R. Russell, who claimed to be on board Chief Sam's ship in the harbor of New York. We publish it in full. Mr. Russell seems to think Chief Sam will soon show up. We have read his letter over carefully and regret to say that we see nothing in it that might be of any substantial consolation to the hundreds of people in Oklahoma who have bee victimized by Chief Sam. The strange part of the whole matter is that out of the delegation of 40 who Mr. Russell says is on board the ship, so far as we have been able to learn, he is the only one to write a letter back home upholding the African chief. Here is what Russell wrote: Special to the Tulsa Star: To my many friends and to whom it may concern and may be interested as I am known to some of the colored people of Tulsa I thought to say something about Chief Sam and his African movement of which a lot have been said. Some calling him a grafter and was stealing the people's money. Now these sayings are all untrue, for he has placed all the money he has collected to its place where it can be seen and will be seen by all who wants to or will meet us along on sea shores. Now the why I kow Chief is not a fraud and has done every word he has claimed to do until now is simply because a delegation of forty in number is now living on board of the ship we have bought. And out of a thousand or more ships now standing in dock, this is the only one, a Blackman's face ran be seen on, aside from being poses by col. You may listen to hear of chief soon and his Co. now.

Public Library Organized At a meeting held at the public library on North Greenwood last Tuesday night a board of managers was elected to control and direct the policy of the library and reading room for East end.

CHIEF YODER has small pox Report of Health Department Shows Lack of Contagion According to reports of the health department there are now about 25 cases of small pox in the city. All of these cases are white people, not a single case being found among the colored people of Tulsa. Chief of Police Edw. Yoder is now confined at his home with the dreaded contagion and other cases are being reported almost daily. Whether or not the apparent immunity of the Colored people comes from better sanitary conditions or the reverse is not known, but it is a fact that there is not a single case of the disease among the Coored citizens. New Theatre Opens The New Gem theater in the Gurley bldg. on N. Greenwood opened for business Thursday with a packed house. The Gem has put on a strictly picture show this week, but next week some of the best vaudeville plays before the footlights will perform at this theater. Every one is highly pleased with the new show house. It is high class modern in every respect and free from the slightest tinge of indecency or suggestive acts of any kind. J. M. Carter, proprietor of the show says he intends that his theater shall be a place of education as well as amusement, because, he claims, good pictures are in themselves a splendid medium for educating the young minds. "Everything must be clean to be staged in the Gem theater," he said to a reporter to the star. "This will be one show at least in the East End where women and children may attend without fear of seeing or hearing anything repulsive to their refined tender natures." Jess Brown, the old reliable showman is in charge of the new theater as manager, and will no doubt make a success in his new position. Jess has a host of friends and he will be a drawing rard for his business. The opening of the new theater was well advertised, 1000 handbills printed at the Star office was circulated in the streets Thursday. "We intend to have all of our printing done here in the Star office," said the new manager. "Please put your trade mark on every bill so the people will see that our hearts are in the right place. We believe in fostering our own enterprises." And with this Jess went on his way smiling in happy anticipation. he was elected to that position unanimously. Miss V. L. Johnson, lately of Ft. Smith was elected secretary. The members of the board were elected as follows: Jas. A. Johnson, D. D., Miss C. M. Wesley, Mrs. C. H. Filson, Mrs. J. T. Dudley, Mrs. A. L. Stradford, Mrs. M. M. Bridgewater, Mrs. A. C. Jackson, Mrs. A. C. Curd, C. W. Henry and A. J. Smitherman. Plans have been adopted to conduct a rigid campaign in the interest of the library and it is expected that every citizen will lend a helping hand. INDIGESTION, GAS OR BAD STOMACH Time it!

WOMAN WOULD NOT GIVE UP Though Sickand Suffering; At Last Found Help in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Richmond, Pa. — "When I started taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was in a dreadfully rundown state of health, had internal troubles, and was so extremely nervous and prostrated that if I had given in to my feelings I would have been in bed. As it was I had hardly strength at times to be on my Compound I was in a dreadfully rundown state of health, had internal troubles, and was so extremely nervous and prostrated that if I had given in to my feelings I would have been in bed. As it was I had hardly strength at times to be on my feet and what I did do was by a great effort. I could not sleep at night and of course felt very bad in the morning, and had a steady headache. "After taking the second bottle I noticed that the headache was not so bad, I rested better, and my nerves were stronger. I continued its use until it made a new woman of me, and now I can hardly realize that I am able to do so much as I do. Whenever I know any woman in need of a good medicine I highly praise Lydia E.

FOR COUGHS AND COLDS COOKING TERMS MADE PLAIN With These Thoroughly in Mind the Housekeeper Will Have Complete Understanding of Recipes. Different terms are properly used for different methods of combining ingredients in cooking, as any one who has handled a cook book very much must know. But every one who has tried to cook does not know just what these various terms signify. Stirring is one thing, beating is another, folding and cutting are yet others—that we all know. But what are they? Stirring is effected with a circular motion, widening from the center. That is the technical description. Folding is the term applied to the motion which prevents the air already inclosed from escaping and at the same time mixes the ingredients concerned. It is this motion which must be used when whipped cream, beaten egg whites and other light and beaten ingredients are mixed together or with more solid masses. Keep the meaning of these terms in mind when you cook according to a recipe. Remember that an ordinary cake you stir and beat. An omelet you beat and fold, and you do the same thing to a sponge cake. Cutting is the lightest sort of mixing—hardly mixing at all. Shortening is sometimes cut into flour with a knife. But the shortening and flour cannot be mixed completely by cutting. IN THE MATTER OF FLOUR Important Thing to Know, Since So Much Depends on the Quality of This Staple. Perfect flour has a slight yellow tinge and a faint, pleasant smell, especially after wetting. Dazzling whiteness indicates bleaching; a gray tinge or minute black specks, showing only under the microscope, grinding from spolled grain. Test by gripping a handful—if it remains the shape of the hand and shows the lines of the palm, buy it. Gluten is a most desirable element. Test for it by wetting a pinch to a stiff dough, and washing the starch out of it in cold water. The greater and tougher the stringy residue the greater the gluten content. Wet another pinch very soft, take it betwixt thumb and finger, and try to spin a thread. If it spins it is right; if it does not, but makes only blobs on the finger tips, there is likely to have been corn ground with the wheat. Another test for corn mixture is to dry a pinch, but not scorch it, and rub between the fingers. Pure wheat flour will not feel gritty, but corn, no matter how finely ground, remains a little rough. Set flour barrels a little above the floor, and do not use the same one continuously. Any wooden container may become a harbor for insects. A japanned tin can, emptied and aired monthly, is best for keeping flour, meal or oatmeal in bulk. All should be kept where it is dry, alry and free of smells, as all take up taints very readily. Everton Toffee. One pound of powdered white sugar. Pour upon this one teacup of water; when the sugar has soaked up the water, add a quarter of a pound of fresh butter, beaten to a cream. Allow this to boll, constantly stirring the mixture. Add one-half teaspoon of essence of lemon, and turn out on a dish previously well buttered. Boil about ten minutes. A copper or thick iron pan could be used.—Mrs. English. Prune Whip. Soak one coffee cup prunes in cold water over night, boil slowly on back of the stove in the morning, then add one-half cup sugar and cook for a few minutes more. Rub through a colander, whip the whites of four eggs stiff, then add the prunes and beat up stiff, put in a deep dish and bake 15 minutes. Eat cold with sauce. Correct Way to Wash Silk Underwear Now that silk underwear is worn so extensively, it behooves the owner to see that it is washed properly. When washing white silk garments soap should not be rubbed on them; and pure white soap rather than yellow should be used for the suds. Rinse very thoroughly in cold water after rubbing in lukewarm suds. Iron with only a moderately warm iron and cover the silk with a piece of muslin, so that the iron will not come in contact with the silk. Rather Too Boastful. The ancient dwellers in Arcady boasted that their beatific race came into existence before the moon herself, but they were probably ignorant of the period they claimed for their ancestry. They must needs have mounted back in time some 57,000,000 years, in which case their race would be hallowed indeed by prelunar antiquity.—Kansas City Star. Motorist—"Lift this car off me, will you?" Farmer—"Sure! But how did you ever crawl under it?" TULSA. OKLA.. STAR DIZZY, HEADACHY, SICK,"CASCARETS" Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while you sleep. Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, billiousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv. True Blue. He was in New York on a visit, coming from a small town in Connecticut which still retains her traditions of the Blue Laws. He was invited to spend a whole day at our minister's, who had a little boy about his own age. We asked him when he got back if he had had a good time, and he replied with great enthusiasm, "Yes." Then he began to look puzzled as if trying to account for the fact that he really did have a good time in a minister's family, and said, apparently talking to himself, "They are the best people for Christians that I ever knew."—New York Evening Post. Prosperity Communistic A man cannot prosper in any honest business without benefiting the community as well as himself. For he cannot induce men to deal with him without offering them an advantage; and, taking all the transactions of life together, the advantages which men offer to others must, on the whole, be equal to those which they receive themselves. Doing business, therefore, is a very effectual and extended mode of doing good; and the fortune which is acquired in doing it is, in a very important sense, the measure and index of the good done—Jacob Abbott. He Had. Yeast—You know all signs fall in dry seasons. Crimsonbeak — Nonsense! Didn't you every try winking at a drug clerk in a Prohibition town? The Medium. "Is there any way of crossing the social chasm?" "Sure! Bridge." SCHOOL TEACHERS. Also Have Things to Learn. "For many years I had used coffee and refused to be convinced of its bad effect upon the human system," writes a veteran school teacher. "Ten years ago I was obliged to give up my much-loved work in the public schools after years of continuous labor. I had developed a well defined case of chronic coffee poisoning. "The troubles were constipation, flutterings of the heart, a thumping in the top of my head, and various parts of my body, twitching of my limbs, shaking of my head and, at times after exertion, a general "gone" feeling, with a toper's desire for very strong coffee. I was a nervous wreck for years. "A short time ago friends came to visit us and they brought a package of Postum with them, and urged me to try it. I was prejudiced because some years back I had drunk a cup of weak, tasteless stuff called Postum which I did not like at all. "This time, however, my friends made the Postum according to directions on the package, and it won me. Soon I found myself improving in a most decided fashion. "The odor of boiling coffee no longer tempts me. I am so greatly benefited by Postum that if I continue to improve as I am now, I'll begin to think I have found the Fountain of Perpetual Youth. This is no fancy letter but stubborn facts which I am glad to make known." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Write for a copy of "The Road to Wellville." Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be well boiled. Instant Postum—is a soluble powder. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. Grocers sell both kinds. "There's a Reason" for Postum "There's a Reason" for Postum. NEW IDEAS FOR MENU NEW IDEAS FOR MENU VARIETY OF WAYS TO SERVE THE VEGETABLES. Changee Will Be Welcomed by All, and a Little Thinking is All That is Necessary to insure If we cannot find new vegetables we can at least endeavor to cook the old ones in such a variety of ways that they will seem quite new. Instead of the everlasting boiled and mashed potatoes try, for instance, potatoes hashed with green peppers. Add to your hashed potatoes about one slice of chopped bacon to each person and minced green peppers; about a sixth of a pepper for two people. The pepper is better if boiled before using. Or try curried potato. Melt three tablespoons of butter, add two slices of onion, and cook two minutes, stirring to prevent the onions from burning; then add three cups of cold boiled potatoes cut in one-half inch cubes. Pour over one cup of chicken or beef stock—if you have no beef stock on hand use beef extract—and season with one teaspoon of salt, one-eighth of a teaspoon of pepper, and one teaspoon of curry powder. Cook until thoroughly heated, when the potatoes will have absorbed the stock. If you have mashed potatoes try this cheese sauce to be served with them: Melt one tablespoon of butter in a double boiler, add one tablespoon of flour and thoroughly blend. Add one cup of hot milk and season with paprika and salt to taste. When this is smooth stir in a cup of cheese which has been put through a meat chopper and stir until the cheese is entirely melted. Serve in a gravy boat. This is perhaps enough just now for potatoes, but there is a recipe for fried tomatoes which is much the best I have tried. Cut your tomatoes in rather thick slices without peeling. Roll each slice in flour and fry them in butter, salting and peppering them as you fry. Turn with a griddle cake turner, and when both sides are done take out and lay on a hot platter. Now pour milk slowly on the flour left in the pan, stir continually to prevent lumps, brown and pour the sauce thus made over the tomatoes and serve. Speaking of frying, have you ever cut summer squash in thin slices and fried them in butter? It makes quite a different vegetable of it. Baked summer squash makes a pleasing variety. Butter a baking dish and put in a layer of Inch thick slices of squash seasoned with butter, salt and pepper. Continue with layers of squash and seasoning until the dish is full. Cover and bake in moderate oven three hours. The following recipe for cucumbers is extremely nice to serve with fish: Peel three or four cucumbers and cut them in quarters lengthwise, taking out the seeds. Then cut the quarters into inch lengths. Put these into boiling water that has been salted. Boil ten minutes, or until tender. Take out and carefully drain. Put in a saucepan three tablespoons of butter, a little chopped parsley, the juice of a lemon and some paprika. Put in the cucumber, and when hot serve. The menu of one of the really good hotels seems to have about twice as many vegetables as are known to exist, but a little study will show that it is only infinite variety in cooking the few we all have on our own tables and some thought and attention will give us a list as long as theirs. Russian Toffee. One small can of condensed milk, one pound of mcst sugar, two ounces of butter, one teaspoon of vinegar. Put the sugar into a pan to melt with the vinegar, add the milk as soon as the toffee will set (try by dipping a little into cold water) add the butter. Butter loses its flavor by being boiled long, so it should be added last. Pour in a well-greased tin. Comforter Slip. Make your comforter in the usual way, using white cheesecloth next to the cotton. Take your silkline or other goods; seam it up in the usual way, sewing the edges together to form a slip; now slip it on the white comforter and tie enough to hold in place. When comforter becomes soiled take the slip off and launder; hang the cotton on the line. Beat lightly with the carpet beater; you will have a clean comforter without the usual hard labor of lifting a heavy wet comforter. New Kitchen Towels. The newest thing in toweling for the kitchen has the words "Kitchen Towel!" woven at regular intervals in the border, in blue or red on an ecru ground, so that the two words will appear in each towel. Thus there is no possibility of mistaking the kitchen towels for any others. To Cut a Cake. Dip your knife in boiling water for a few seconds and you will be able to cut a frosted cake without breaking the icing. A GLASS OF SALTS WILL END KIDNEY-BACKACHE Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Recommends Only Salts, Particularly If Bladder Bothers You. When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which removes the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of water—you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.—Adv. A cynic is a man who has tried to make good and failed. Sorry!

LESSON TEXT—Luke 12:1-12. GOLDEN TEXT—"Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God."—Luke 12:8. The first verse of this lesson indicates the character of this period in the life of our Lord which we are now studying. It was a time of thrilling interest and of intense excitement. A time when the crowds were so great that they "trode one upon another." This may have resulted from the preaching of the seventy; but we of today can see what Jesus then saw, that this interest was only superficial and transitory. So it was that the Master turned "first of all" to his disciples lest they be deceived by this seeming popularity. Hiding the Truth. 1. The fear of losing a reputation, vv. 2, 3. The Pharisees made great, pompous claims at their being religious. A hypocrite is one who hides behind a mask, one who is a play actor. It is pretence instead of reality. Therefore, if one is not real his fear of losing his reputation is increased in direct ratio to the extent of his deceit. The principal error of these Pharisees was that they hid the truth and at the same time refused to be ruled by it themselves. Jesus demands a new publicity (v. 2) of service and in the presence of this vast crowd denounces this hypocrisy as being sin. He also says plainly that what they had been saying in darkness will be proclaimed from the housetops. Our Lord compares hypocrisy with leaven in that it is the product of corruption, it works secretly, it infects the whole mass. (So hypocrisy will effect our whole life and conduct.) This leaven is a sour spreading corruption that changes the whole character of a man. It cannot be hid. No amount of care can effectually cover our deceit. We may, for a time, hide our sin from men, but God knows and in due time will publish it abroad (v. 3): I. Tim. 5:24. Warned by Jesus. II. The fear of death, vv. 4, 7. Such publicity will and always has led to persecution, and so Jesus calls his disciples to courage, charging them that they fear not those who have power over the body, but rather to fear him whose power is over the soul. Notice the manner of address, "my friends, fear not." Intimacy and courage are suggested. Look up the many times the Scriptures admonish us not to fear, I. John 4:18. Satan and man (v. 5) have power over the body, but they cannot touch the soul. The Christian, however, needs not to fear man or Satan, Isa. 51:12, Rom. 8:31, for the angel of Jehovah (the Lord Jesus) encamps about them that fear Jehovah (Ps. 34:7). Paul tells us that to depart from this life is again, Phil. 1:21; II. Cor. 5:8. We have, therefore, no cause to fear the death of the body. One only, God, has the power after death, to cast the soul into hell (v. 5). He it is who gives us a suggestion of awful consciousness of the soul, and of the body as well, when they are in hell, Matt. 10:28. Jesus has warned us and we are to warn others that they avoid that which was prepared, not for man, but of the_devil and his angels. Matt. 25:41. Is there a hell? Yes! Else Jesus was deceived or has deliberately deceived us. Thank God however, that as a man is of more value than a sparrow, so God has prepared better things for those who place their faith in his son. III. The fear of making an open confession, vv. 8-12. With such a tender, beautiful assurance of God's care over us it would seem unnecessary for Jesus to admonish his followers about confessing him before the world. Yet such is the persistent hardness and the natural timidity of the human heart that the Master, in mercy, warns his followers, Rom. 10:9, 10. Our Lord looks beyond his disciples to the dispensation of the Spirit and declared that men, speaking against him would be forgiven, but that those who slander, detract and heap vituperation upon the Spirit would commit a sin, a blasphemy, which could not be forgiven. Moreover, in that dispensation of the Spirit, no matter how much men might suffer, or be in danger, they would be taught by that Spirit what they ought to say, vv. 11, 12. The one who commits this sin, deliberately attributes to the Devil what he knows to be the work of the Spirit, Matt. 12:22-32. It is a deliberate choice of darkness and the heart is so hardened as to preclude repentance. There is no desire for repentance. WOULD SIT DOWN COULDN'T GET UP And This Lady Would Do a Little Work and Have to Go to Bed for an Hour. Columbia, Tenn.—Mrs. Jessie Sharp, of this town, says: "I was a sufferer from womanly troubles for five years, and it got me down so, I could not do any of my work. Would have to lie in bed nearly all the time. When I would sit down, couldn't get up, without pulling at something to help me. I would do a little work, and have to go to bed for an hour. I would have those awful trembly spells, and a swimming in my head. I surely felt that I had rather be dead, than be in my condition. I finally wrote to the Ladies Advisory Department, of the Chattanooga Medicine Co., and they advised me to try Cardui, the woman's tonic, for my troubles. I did and now I am sound and well of all my troubles. The second bottle helped me so much, that I didn't have to go to bed any more. I certainly feel that Cardul is worth its weight in gold to every suffering woman." If you, lady reader, suffer from any of the ailments so common to women, try Cardul. For more than 50 years, Cardul has been used with entire satisfaction, by hundreds of thousands of weak and ailing women. It will surely help you, too. N.

GRAVE CRIME DUE TO LOVE First Bank Note Forgery Was by Englishman Who Needed Money for His Marriage. The first bank note forgery was committed for love's sake. Richard William Vaughan, a solicitor's clerk, wished to marry his employer's daughter. One of the conditions imposed was that he should produce a thousand pounds and settle half of it upon his wife to be. He took a month's leave of absence, presumably to obtain the required money from his mother, but instead, spent the time in making an engraved impression of a £20 Bank of England note. With 50 of these sham notes, he presented himself at the appointed time, and the marriage arrangements were proceeded with. Unfortunately, he required some ready money, and put two of the false notes into circulation. They were promptly challenged and Vaughan arrested. What was to have been his wedding day he spent in the condemned cell, and he suffered the extreme penalty at Tyburn in April, 1758. SUFFERED FOR 25 YEARS. Mr. R. M. Fleenor, R. F. D. 39, Otterbein, Ind., writes: "I had been a sufferer from Kidney Trouble for about 25 years. I finally got so bad that I had to quit work, and doctors failed to do me any good.

STAR CHILDREN LOVE SYRUP OF FIGS It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a sick child. Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother insisted on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only delicious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv. Extraordinary Dishes. Mrs. Dan Crauford, whose book "Thinking Black" has created considerable controversy, mentioned some extraordinary Central African "dishes" in the course of a recent lecture. These included stewed elephant's trunk, roast rhinoceros汤, boiled hippo tongue (stewed 48 hours to make it tender), roast wild donkey, stewed monkey, roast water rat, head, tail, and all, and the luscious morsel, which a chief provided as a state delicacy, of a mess of thousands of white ants, frizzled in their own fat, like a sort of Central African white bait. Also there was a special dish, much favored, of starchy boiled grass, "green and glutinous." Mrs. Crauford also told of the Central African "knuts." The young bridegroom wore a necklace of teeth and hairs of the elephant's tail, and a fur boa, which any West End lady would envy, of squirrel skins, gray and white, the toilet being completed possibly—for all European garments were fashionable—by one of Mrs. Dan Crauford's skirts specially lent for the occasion. Celluloid Substitute. German leather workers have recently been experimenting with a new process of preparing leather by means of which it becomes almost transparent, firm, elastic and waterproof. It is claimed also that it is almost incombustible, a great improvement. The process, which is a trade secret, consists to some extent in saturating the leather with hot oil, then kneading and rolling it. It absorbs a large amount of oil, becomes tenacious and of the consistency of tortoiseshell. Its value in the arts is likely to be very great, and especially in electrical work it is supposed that it will be more effective for certain purposes than rubber. It may be made thicker than the natural hide. Dusseldorf Exposition. The sum of $1,190,000 has been pledged as a guaranty fund for the exposition to be held next year in Dusseldorf, and it is assured the co-operation of museums, organizations and authorities in all parts of Germany. The exposition will be divided into ten main groups, with 52 divisions and 118 classes, and will occupy over 700,000 square yards, extending over two miles along the Rhine. A plan of the exposition grounds will be loaned on application to the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, Washington, D. C. When He Missed It.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant.—Adv. Better Gas Lights.

April 11, 1913, at the Post Office at Tulsa Oklahoma, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Rev. T. H. Wiseman left Sunday, Feb. 16th, 1914, for Kansas City, to perfect preparations for the wedding. The parsonage is refurnished and everything is clean and new, only awaiting the finishing touches of the bride to make it a regular "Newlyweds' cozy corner." The dining room has an addition of a baby's red high chair, for the babes of company (?). Miss N. A. Ledsinger our popular kindergarten teacher is able to sit up and chat with friends, she has been quite ill, but some one in Tulsa sends flowers, dayletters, night-letters, telegrams and special deliveries are still coming from that direction every hour. The reporter is "figgering" on having la gripe since seeing the amount of fruit and dainties she received during her illness. Lest we forget—How about Jim Noble and the post office? It will soon be time for Spring house cleaning. Are you ready? Mrs. James Brady went to Haskell Monday to spend a few days. There is just one wise course for the colored voters of Oklahoma to pursue. Attorney J. H. Roberts has left the city, having formed a partnership with Attorney Martin of Tulsa, his many friends "wish him well" in his new location. What are you doing to help entertain the State Negro Business League here next Thursday? Mr. A. L. Boyd is quite sick at this writing, despite his age he is active in business circles and is greatly missed from his chair in his barber shop. The most valuable man to any community is the man who is really doing most for the community. William Henry Fort, the young and only son of Prof. and Mrs. W. H. Fort, is quite a two-year prodigy, he says that he is a Methodist altho both his parents are Baptists, which fact scores heavily, he tries to help his mother with the house-work and at times got a cup-towel and dried all the dishes used to serve a meal. There are far too many big "Is" in Tulsa. If we had fewer leaders and more good followers our future would be much brighter. The business league comes to us next week. Let every fellow put his shoulder to the wheel and push. Lt's show 'em that we are as big as our name. On last Saturday night Miss M. C. Raglain, had a birthday party. She is twent——. Covers were spread for a small number, in the form of a Buffett Luncheon; the color scheme being red and white. The first part of the evening was spent in whist, later on she called attention to a new game called "Hear Guessing Contest". Mrs. L. Shepard and Miss Alberta Watts winning the honors. Dalnty menu consisting of the following: Senator Gore has been exonerated by a jury in the famous $50.000 damage case, which of course is a valuable point in his coming campaign for re-election to the U. S. Senate. When the Negroes of America forget partisanship and vote for men and measures on their respective merits only, then will dawn the political salvation of the race in this country. They are still lynching Negroes in the south for pastime. Meanwhile the U. S. Government is spending thousands of dollars trying to put down a rebellion in Mexico. Should not charity begin at home? Chicken salad, peanut butter sandwiches, grape frappe, black coffee, and mints. Those present were Missse J. Harris, A. Watts, E.E. White, H.C. Ford, J. Woodson, A. Hoard, and L. C. Chrisman, Mesdames Hawkins, Shepard, J. H. Neal, and Messrs J. Shepard, A. Hawkins, C. D. Foster, Wm. Foster, Saunders, J. Overall and J. H. Roberts. Long before the hands pointed to midnight, Lawyer Roberts called attention to the near approach of Sunday's dawn, the guests departed declaring Miss Raglain a charming hostess. Miss Raglain has a large music class and is creating warm and lingering friends in Okmulge. The little 10-year old Sarah Rector, who owns in her own right oil fields giving to her an annual royalty of $371,000, is to be taken to Tuskegee Institute for educational training. Her daily income aggregates over $1,000.00 per day. It takes pride as well as money to make beautiful cities. Pride in our homes, pride in the streets and alleys in our community. Now what citizen of Tulsa can feel much pride in North Greenwood and other streets in the East End on a rainy day? Denison, Tex., is to have a new and special park for its Negro citizens. Te features of the park will be a special play ground for children and a prand stand to hold several thousand people, and the most pleasing aspect of the project is that the venture is to be manned and financed by race men. Mrs. Lunnie Shepard is better at this writing. The Milk Maids rendered quite a humorous farce, last Friday evening entitled the Milk Maids Convention, despite the incelent weather quite a crowd enjoyed the play. The Misses Raglain and Chrisman deserve much girls for this play, the money realized praise for their work in training the was given to Rev. T. H. Wiseman. Why don't the churches of Tulsa inaugureate a go-to-church day, and make the occasion a great spiritual and moral benediction to all? We believe such a movement with the right kind of incentive, backed up by the ministers and church members will be productive of great good and large results. Let the ministers speak out. Shall we have a go-to-church day or not? The little Misses Rhea, Utle, and Hattle Roper are ill at this writing, we wish them a speedy recovery There is much being said and penned about race discrimination, prejudice etc., and there is no telling how long this crusade will continue. What we really need, now, is less talk and writing and more concerted action. Let us search our own hearts and see how much unfair prejudice we harbor against the other fellow. Then let us eliminate this in ourselves and we can better combat the same in the other fellow. Miss Hattie Hughes, one of the Okmulguee County Teachers was the guest of the Misses Raglain and Christman Saturday and Sunday. Prof. Johnson's daily contemplations and nightly dreams as well as his conversations are of Pheobus, Pittsburg, Hampton, and Carnegie, he is receiving many interesting letters from the named places. We are afraid we will lose him. State Superintendent of Public Instruction, R. H. Wilson, has certainly struck upon the right trail in his effort to make better farmers and therefore more crops in Oklahoma. This plan should appeal to every progressive and business man as well as the farmers. Mr. Wilson is asking for the support of all public school teachers and he should have it. Let every teacher in the city go to the County Supt. and ask for blank reports for seed test and get the farmers interested. Miss H. C. Ford, and Senior Class conducted a candy sale realizing a neat sum to defray some High School expenses. Mr. C. H. Ambrose of the Equitable Assurance Society of Oklahoma, took dinner with us at Dunbar, Monday. Call again Mr. Ambrose. When trouble comes it never comes singly. Dunbar was still mourning over the loss of one "star boarder" (Prof Roberts) when they were struck arther blow, the second and last "star boarder" Rev. T. H. Wiseman, who before the ink is dry on this paper will have a wife, they wish him success however. The Negro race is a great race. It has made phenomenal progress in the past forty years. It is still making progress. But are you satisfied with your past and present successes? Is our condition so perfect that no improvement is needed or possible Do the rising young Negroes enmasse come up fully to your hopes, and will they be able to meet the exigencies of the coming years sufficiently to hold the ground already obtained by their forefathers? Who will answer? TO THE BRIDE ELECT. Here's to the bride to be, Mrs. A. C. Jackson delivered an extemporaneous speech at the exercises at the First Baptist church celebration last Sunday as a well timed and much needed lecture. Her advice to parents, husbands and wives, if heeded, would be worth much to the community Here's to the maids that would like to be. Wondering when and where! Mrs. James Brady, who spent seven days with her cousin James Franklin at Wahola, has returned home, she reports her cousin better. Little Wilson C. Santee, better known as Boots, left for Kansas City, Mo., Sunday to visit his brother Bruce Santee, who is a photographer in that city. She scored the gossipers and censured the business man who keeps his wife ignorant of his business affairs. Women of this kind are of immeasureable service to any community. We need more women of Mrs. Jackson's type in Tulsa. Ex-Gov. Haskell is at his old tricks again—building railroads. We recall that he built an interurban from Muskogee to Ft. Gibson, bought a car, named it "Joe Haskell," for his son, and it is said he did all of this without putting a penny of his own money into the project. Te car was never paid for and the manufacturers replevied it and shipped it back to Ohio or Ill. The Muskogee Traction Co. bought the railroad, and are now operating cars to Ft. Gibson over it. We trust the Ex-Gov. will do a better job in Tulsa. Mrs. Carrie Barnett of Boynton, will open a Millinery store and will be ready with a beautiful line of Easter hats for the ladies in a few weeks. Mr. A. L. Boyd is out again after a seriour attack. Mr. Billy Vann of New Mexico is in our city the guest of Mrs. Nance. NOTES OF DUNBAR MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT The boys of the Manual Training Department are now applying their skill to commercial work. A piano bench for the First Baptist Sunday School is near completion, it will be finished in antique oak. Mrs. William Cunningham has ordered a music rack, to be constructed for her young daughter, Miss Floy, this rack will have a mahogany finish and will be an attractive addition to their parlor set, the department wishes to extend thanks to her for the order. The boys are about to assemble the dressing table ordered by the girls of the Sewing Department, the dressing table will have a white enamel finish with a drawer and mirror, we have been thinking that the need of such a piece of furniture was close at hand, every boy of the 8th and 9th grades desires to have a hand in the construction.

READ THE TULSA STAR FOR THE TULSA NEWS Baptists Hold Anniversary Celebration The anniversary of the Pastor at the 1st Baptist last week was a success. The weather turn bad, but the people seemed to appreciate the exercises. Many good papers were read in respect to the Pastor and his work for the past year. And many speeches were made. Hon. Archie V. Jones, Atty., Mrs. Lucy Callins, Mrs. G. W. Hunt, Mrs. Irene Johnson, Miss C. M. Wesley and Mr. R. H. Middleton all strong and good papers. Hon. Cat. Jackson, Hon. H. A. Guess, Atty., Mr. J. H. Wells, Rev L. McGregor, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Campbell, Mrs. Julia Jackson, Prof. Graham and MMr. A. J. Smitherman all made good speeches. There were others on the program had it not been for inclement weather, would have produced papers that have been as interesting as any of those read. Sunday morning the Sec. Baptist Sunday School rallied against the First Baptist Sunday School. The banner was the prize for which they were rallying. Both schools rallied with all their forces and quite a deal of interest was manifested on both sides. But when the smoke of battle had cleared away, the First Baptist had won the prize. Cheer after cheer went up. It was hard to get order. The votes were as follows: First Baptist $22.74. Second Baptist $11.06. The Second Baptist then retired to their church for 11 o'clock service, beheaded by their Pastor. Rev. McMillan, State Evangelist, preached a strong sermon at 11 o'clock. Rev. McMillan is as strong a preacher as there is in the state. At 3 p. m. Dr. White was back on the scene to preach the anniversary sermor for the Pastor. After some excellent singing and music by the Mt. Zion choir, Dr. White arose and chose for subject, "A wise choice." He preached a powerful sermon. Everybody was well pleased with the sermon. At night the pastor preached. His subject was "Live a Better Life For Christ." Everybody seemed to be well pleased with the entire exercises. Money raised from all sources, $92.20. The members and friends donated to the Pastor as follows: Mr. Capt. Jackson, $2.50; Dr. A. C. Jackson and wife $2.50; M. and Mrs. L. H. Holderness, $1; Mrs. Carries Filsom $1; Mrs. S. F.

Kersh, is all smiles today for the high respect in which his members and many friends esteem him. And for the liberal donation by them. The Church and community con not esteem the minister too highly; the worth of the minister to any community, is beyond calculation. Dr. Kersh has proven himself worthy of the position he holds in his church and the community. He supports all Negro enterprises, and is a staunch race man. He has battled hard against vice and immorality ever since he has been here. His life has been and is a living example for any one who wishes to live an up right life. On Monday night many of the members and friends served a repast at the Parsonage in honor of the Pastor and his wife. The public library for the colored people of Tulsa has become to be a recognized institution of this city and in many ways answers very beneficially to the demands of the public. This institution, though very little talked about, is one of the most valuable assets of the east end. Strangers coming into this part of the city find this a very desirable place to spend the time reading the daily and weekly newspapers, magazines, books etc., and getting general information. Dr. J.

SWEEPSTAKE UPON SWEEPSTAKE SWEEPSTAKE UPON SWEEPSTAKE CANADA ADDING OTHERS TO ITS SERIES OF VICTORIES. A Manitoba Steer Carries Off Similar Honors to Those Won by a Half- Brother in 1912. When Glencarnock I., the Aberdeen-Angus steer, owned by Mr. McGregor of Brandon, Manitoba carried off the sweepstakes at the Chicago Live Stock Show in 1912, it was considered to be a great victory for barley, oats and grass versus corn. So that there might be no doubt of the superiority of barley feeding, Manitoba climate, and judgment in selecting the animal, Mr. McGregor placed in competition in 1813, another Aberdeen-Angus, a half-brother to the animal that won last year, and secured a second victory in the second year. In other classes he had excellent winnings, but the big victory was the sweepstakes for the best steer. This victory proved that Manitoba-grown barley and oats, and prairie hay, had properties better than any contained in corn, which in the past has been looked upon as being superior to other grains in fattening and finishing qualities. Not only this, but Glencarnock's victory proves that the climate of the prairie provinces of western Canada, in combination with rich foods that are possessed by that country, tends to make cattle raising a success at little cost. Other winnings at the live stock show which placed western Canada in the class of big victories were: Three firsts, seven seconds, and five other prizes in Clydesdales. The winners, Bryce, Taber, Sutherland, Sinton, Mutch, McLean, Haggerty, Leckie and the University of Saskatchewan are like family names in Saskatchewan. Each one had "the goods" that won honor to himself and combined made a name and record for Saskatchewan. Look at the recent victories won by western Canada within the past three years. In February, 1911, Hill & Sons of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, showed a peck of oats at the National Corn Exposition, held at Columbus, Ohio, and carried off the Colorado silver trophy, valued at $1,500. In February, 1912, the same men, father and son, had a similar victory at Columbia, N. C., and should they win in 1914 at Dallas, Texas, they will own the trophy. In 1911, Seager Wheeler of Rosthern won $1,000 in gold at the New York Land Show for the best 100 pounds of wheat. In 1912 at the Dry Farming Congress at Lethbridge, Alberta, Mr. Holmes of Cardston won the $2,500 Rumley engine for best wheat in the world. In 1913, at the Dry Farming Congress, held at Tulsa, Okla., Mr. P. Gerrick of Allen, Saskatchewan, carried off the honors and a threshing machine for the best bushel of wheat shown in competition with the world. In 1913 at the International Dry Farming Congress at Tulsa, Okla., Canada won the majority of the world's honors in individual classes, and seven out of the sixteen sweepstakes, including the grand prize for the best bushel of hard wheat. The grand prize, a threshing machine, was won by Paul Gerlack for best bushel of hard wheat, which weighed 71 pounds to the bushel, and was of the Marquis variety. In the district in which the wheat was grown that won this prize, there were thousands of acres this year that would have done as well. Mr. Gerlack is to be congratulated, as well as the province of Saskatchewan, and western Canada as a whole, for the great success that has been achieved in both grain and cattle. Other prizes at the same place were: Best peck of barley, Nicholas Tetmiger, Claresholm, Alberta. Best peck of oats, E. J. Lanigan, Elfross, Saskatchewan. Best bushel of flax, John Plews, Carnduff, Saskatchewan. Best sheaf of barley, A. H. Cross- man, Kindersley, Saskatchewan. Best sheaf of flax, R. C. West, K indersley, Saskatchewan. Best sheaf of oats, Arthur Perry, Cardston, Alberta. In district exhibits, Swift Current, Saskatchewan, won the Board of Trade Award, with Maple Creek se- cond.

Happy-goluyhabits inherited from slave ancestors are in large part responsible for the disbelief of the whites in the manifest improvement in the material condition of the colored people. Canners in the Chesapeake basin often import foreign labor from Baltimore through the padrones, because the newcomers can be counted upon to stick by the job the season through, while the colored laborer is apt to run off to a camp-meeting or take a trip to Baltimore when the cannery is busiest. Housewives are driven nearly mad by the impossibility of knowing whether the cook will report for duty on any given morning. When spring comes and the men have regular work and wages, the women desert the kitchens and let their husbands or lovers support them. With late autumn, when the farm work is done and many farm laborers are idle, the women are glad to go back to the kitchen in order that there may be money for the household. Thrift is a lesson that the descendant of the slave is slow in learning. In spite of much idleness, however, and extravagant indulgence in pleasure, the colored people of the Chesapeake basin are vastly transformed for the better in outward aspect within the past generation. The colored folk that crowd the villages on Saturday night are far better dressed than many European peasant proprietors. Indeed, the colored man's improvidence is apt to take the form of over-indulgence in dress and display. A colored farmer on the eastern shore of Virginia, finding himself with more than $2,000 in bank at the end of the season, bought five vehicles of various kinds. The bicycle is already much used by the colored people, and it will not be many years before colored men in the Chesapeake basin will be seen driving their own autos.—A. E. Vallandigham. The clinic of the negro school is showing every day more plainly the price southern white people have paid for their neglect of the problem of the backward race. A cook in a famous Nashville hotel, followed to her home, was found to house in a cellar beneath a foul tenement, to the last degree unsanitary. From this she passed daily to the preparation of food for fastidious whites. A student nurse found a colored baby sick of a contagious disease lying staring up at a clothesline stretched across the crowded, untidy cabin, on which hung the spotless linen destined to be sent back to an exclusive white home. Here in the north the doctrine of social interdependence has been pretty thoroughly learned. We know, if we do not live up to our knowledge, that the rich pay a terrible toll for the degradation of the poor. In the south, it would seem, there has been too much trust among the less inquiring classes that the negro's sins against sanitation would react only upon himself. They are awake now. Five thousand students in southern colleges are this year studying Dr. Weatherford's book on the race problem. The rank and file are coming to see that the tying up of negro religion with social hygiene is likely to have results incalculably important to the whole south.—Mary Bronson Hartt, in the Boston Transcript. Fifteen thousand colored men in Paris are forming a trades union to resist the efforts of the white workmen, who are claimed to be attempting to prevent the colored men from getting an increase in pay. The union will include chauffeurs, hotel porters, domestic servants and others. To the Department of Public Instruction and Fine Arts of Spain has been allotted $63,000 for use toward establishing and improving workshops of the country's industrial schools. Canada is nearly 30 times as large as Great Britain and Ireland, the total area of the Dominion being only 237,000 square miles less than the whole continent of Europe.

The average woman can get more exhilaration out of a cheap compliment than a man can out of a quart of champagne. TULSA, OKLA., STAR CAN CULLINGS Many of the whites in the Chesapeake basin believe that their colored fellow-citizens are not improving materially, morally and intellectually, but he that has known the region for 30 years or so, and who returns to it with a fresh eye, cannot fail to note the improvement that has taken place in that time. The statistics of farming alone in the period between 1890 and 1910 are convincing as to the recent economic improvement of the colored man. In Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, as in many other states, the actual acreage in farms decreased in the decade 1900-1910, but in each of those states the number of colored farmers owning their land decidedly increased. In Delaware the increase was from 332 in 1900 to 406 in 1910; in Maryland, from 3,262 to 3,950; in Virginia, from 26,566 to 32,228. In each of these states colored tenant farmers are being converted into land owners, for in each the number of tenants is decreasing, while the whole number of negro farmers is increasing. The value of farm lands and buildings owned by colored persons was more than $32,500,000, and colored tenants and managers were intrusted with the administration of farm lands and buildings to the value of nearly $25,000,000. Thus the colored farmers of the Chesapeake basin are now in the ownership or occupying of farm lands and buildings to the value of more than $55,000,000. A generation ago, when the colored people were still almost within the shadow of slavery, a prosperous negro farmer was a rare sight in the Chesapeake basin. In that region the system common in the cotton states of turning over from 20 to 100 acres of land to be cultivated to cotton by a single slave family was little practiced, so that the colored people were not ready to be turned into tenant farmers, and then into land owners. A few free colored persons had owned land in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia while yet slavery flourished.—Baltimore American. Twenty-two years ago Jonas W. Thomas, a negro of Marlborough county, South Carolina, began his career as a farmer by buying an old horse for $40.75, and by renting 30 acres of South Carolina land for 1,400 pounds of lint cotton. After four years of hard work and close saving he was able to buy a mule for $65 and also 67 acres of land. Then he began renting and working farms which belonged to other men. Gradually he was able to buy the land he had been renting. He also found it worth while to open a commissary. Now Thomas lives in a 12 room house and employs on his $40,000 plantation, 39 families, consisting of 189 men, women and children. He grows a variety of crops, including cotton, corn, and some garden truck, and raises his own horses, mules, cows and hogs. He has received as much as $31,000 for his cotton crop alone—400 bales of long staple. On an average he has saved $3,000 a year for 22 years. All that he now has on his farm is his own, "directly and indirectly," he affirms with justifiable pride. In a single year he has borrowed of one local bank and repaid $23,000. "Good credit," so Thomas says, "explains a fair share of my success." There are floating "movies" in the Netherlands. A bill was introduced in the senate by Senator Kenyon of Iowa providing for the expenditure of $200,000, the balance remaining in the hands of the freedmen's bureau, for the construction of a home for aged and infirm colored persons in the District of Columbia. When navigation officially opened April 24, there were in elevators, on steamers and on railroad cars at Ft.

British exports to Mexico during the first ten months of this year were considerably greater than during similar periods of the two preceding years.

Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriance which is so beautiful.

Manufactured only by A. B. RICHARDS MEDICINE CO., Sherman, Texas POULTRY Meat or Green Cut Bone Should Be Kept in Front of Laying Hens at All Times During Winter. The feeding of dry mash to the laying stock means much toward the increased production of eggs. During the winter months about one-fifth of the entire ration consumed by the hen should consist of meat in some form. If they are expected to do their best, and the feeding of dry mash offers an excellent opportunity to give the meat or green cut bone so that it will be evenly distributed and proportioned to the hen. This form of food should be kept constantly in front of the hens unless you feed wet mash, in which case they should be used on alternate days. The dry mash should consist of two parts bran, one part middlings, one part meal and one part beet scrap and green cut bone. To this may be added if desired one part ground oats. The mash food should be fed in hoppers specially prepared and not placed in open troughs, as by the latter method the hens will waste almost as much as they will eat. The dry mash food is naturally eaten slowly by the hens and at a time when they have no grain food that can be scratched from the litter. As the dry mash is consumed much more slowly than is the wet all the particles of meat or bone will be best preserved in it and therefore more evenly proportioned than is possible in the wet mash. The slow eating is also of benefit to the hen in many other ways. WINTER EGGS ARE DESIRABLE No Branch of Farming Will Show Quicker Losses Than Poor Feeding and Management of Hens. With the price of eggs so high it stands us in hand to plan our management so that the flock will do its best. It is surprising what good care and intelligent feeding will do in producing winter eggs and on the other hand no branch of farming will show quicker losses than poor feeding and management of the winter layers. Winter layers must have a comfortable house, plenty of room, plenty of sunlight and ample ventilation. Too much care cannot be given to providing good ventilation. Cold draughts Prize-Winning Plymouth Rock. will check the egg production and prove detrimental to the health of the flock. With a good, clean and dry house and plenty of egg-making foods we will get eggs. On farms where we can feed a variety of grain foods and a mash, once a day, composed of cut clover or alfalfa, steamed and mixed with bran, corn meal and green cut bone, egg production is a simple matter. Feed a tempting variety of grain foods, green foods and meat foods, keep pure water before them and keep the floors so clean that any part may be used for a scratching floor and you can rest assured that you have done your part toward securing winter eggs. SUCCESS IN PIGEON RAISING Birds Confined in Houses Quickly Contract Consumption and Die—Require Much Space. Pigeons begin to lay two weeks after mating. They lay two eggs, which hatch in about 18 days. The old birds stop feeding the young squab when the next pair hatch. Each pair of birds should be provided with two nests. Pigeons cannot thrive unless they have a place in which to fly. Confined in houses, they will quickly contract consumption and die. Even in the coldest weather they should be allowed to fly outdoors when they please. The breeding season is from March to September, but extra good breeders will produce young ten months in the year.

STAR THEIR BEST PEOPLE THEIR BEST PEOPLE By LAWRENCE DEVINE Linfield meant to buy the old house in that remote Mississippi county. He held the option, and Colonel Jarrett had courteously left him in charge for two weeks while he went to New Orleans to sell his tobacco. Linfield was tired of city life; he wanted a good soil for the crops he intended to plant, with hunting for, his leisure hours, and enough atmosphere to make his next novel readable. Besides, his people came from the south. Then there was the girl—a shy, wondering girl of about twenty years, who took her hounds out walking every day past Linfield's gate. Linfield had been set upon once by Tiger, and the girl's apologies opened the way for an introduction. Linfield learned that her name was Mary Gates, and that her father, the major, and three brothers, lived in the big house a mile away, among the cotton-pickers' cabins. Once, while they were talking, one of the brothers rode by, and at the sight of him the girl turned swiftly aside, as though she had not spoken to Linfield; yet, as the man rode by Linfield could see that he half checked his horse, with a frown on his face. After that the girl only offered the least nod. "Our best people, the Gates," said the only other neighbor that Linfield had—the man who brought the milk and provisions from the town, four miles away. "Real southern gentry, sir." "Those brothers don't seem remarkably friendly," said the writer. "Friendly!" echoed the other. "They haven't any friendship for strangers. Why, only last year there was a fellow down here from Nashville, staying with Colonel Jarrett. Miss Mary used to go past his gate, and a sort of flirtation sprang up. She got talked about—you know country ways. The brothers came down with guns to shoot R. H. T. ERS. "What Do You Think of This, Mary?" him up, but he got over the back fence a minute too quick for 'em. Jarrett and Gates haven't spoken since." Evidently the Gateses were dangerous neighbors. Linfield was conscious of an increasing interest in Miss Mary. She was a type he had never met before, a primitive survival in these wilds. Next time she passed he drew her into conversation. In the midst of it hoofs were heard, and instinctively the girl darted into the shelter of a high privet hedge, leaving Linfield staring foolishly into the face of the rider as he came past. Stolen interviews are proverbially sweet, and not many days had passed before both were conscious of their dawning love. But when Linfield hunted at an invitation to the house Mary showed every sign of terror. "I had a friend last year," she said tremulously. "He was only—a friend—he lived here—and Jim and Bob threatened to shoot him. Some busybody saw us talking. Colonel Jarrett and father haven't spoken since. You see, we are very formal in this district. If only we were friendly with the colonel, and he could introduce you—" The thud of fists against his door startled Linfield out of his sleep. He struck a match and lit his oll lamp. The blows were redoubled. Outside were threatening voices. Linfield opened the door. A rush of men bore him to the ground. In a trice he was bound, limp and helpless, and staring up into the faces of the Gates men. "Get his clothes on, Bob," said one of them. Ten minutes later, having been unbound and dressed, Linfield was conducted at pistol point into the road, where, fastened to a horse's bridle, he was made to jog over the ruts and stones until the Gates house was reached. The captors led him into the huge hall. There stood Mary and an old man with a long beard, whom Linfield guessed to be her father. And a little apart, with downcast eyes and clasped hands, stood a man in clerical costume. "We've got him, dad," said one of the men. The old man turned to Linfield, and his hands shook with passion as he spoke. "We've caught you this time, you infernal scoundrel," he shouted. "Thought you'd eluded us last year, didn't you? In these parts, when a man gets a woman talked about—" "Father," cried Mary in agonized tones, "I tell you this isn't—" "Silence!" roared the old man. "When he gets her talked about he dies like the dog he is or—" "Marries her!" yelled the young men in chorus. "Make your choice and make it quick!" said Major Gates. Linfield lifted his eyes toward the blushing girl. If they had said hell or heaven he would have felt much as he did then. "I'll marry her," he said. "Parson, you may proceed," said the major to the clergyman. Five minutes later he gripped Linfield's hand between his own. "My boy," he said, "family relationships are hard things to come by sometimes, but, once made, we hold to them in this part of the country." There were tears in his eyes as he clasped his daughter in his arms. "What do you think of this, Mary?" asked her husband, reading the above. "I think it's the stupidest story I've ever read," answered Linfield's wife. "And you've actually used our names." "I have to, dear, according to the rules of the competition," replied her husband. "Competition, my dear?" "Yes. The 'Ladies' Fireside Companion' is offering 20 prizes of a thousand dollars apiece, you know, for the best description of 'How I Met My Wife.' Don't you think it ought to have a chance?" "Well," said his wife thoughtfully, "it's got sentiment, and it's got atmosphere. But don't you think it is a little improbable?" "Not so improbable as the truth," answered Linfield. "Fancy, in a whole world full of people, that I should actually have met you that unforgettable morning in the subway." "I'm afraid we weren't introduced properly, dear," his wife answered. "Were we?" "Well, you see, you didn't happen to have any brothers," said her husband, kissing her. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) NERVES ALWAYS SUFFER No Matter What the Bodily Affliction, They Are Bound to Be Involved in the Trouble. Almost every little or great alliment throughout your system affects your nerves, says a writer in the New York American. Your eyes and liver and lungs and stomach and heart and many other things throughout your system all "take it out" on the poor nerves if they happen to be a bit out of order themselves. Recent discoveries show that 90 per cent. of nervous troubles are due to other disorders. Eye strain is one cause. Not only those who have to use their eyes constantly, like students and lapidaries and miniature artists and engravers, but city folks who live and work where their vision is restricted, are all sufferers from nervous troubles, more or less. The eye wants to get exercise as well as muscles. Living in narrow streets and gazing out across little alleys against brick walls, rushing into narrow cars and hurrying into small rooms, all keep the vision down to narrow limits and pretty soon eye strain sets in and this brings on nervous trouble. And one of the peculiarities of this is that many people will not notice that they have eye strain because the nervous disorders that result will be so much worse than the cause. Eye strain is much less common in the country. Working in a stooping position, curving the spine, brings pressure on the tiny blood vessels, and this in turn acts on the nerves. "I get so nervous sitting still," one will say. As a matter of fact, the continual pressure on the spine reacts on the nerves. As Sedentary occupations are more common to the cities there is more nervousness from this cause in cities. Liver troubles bring on quick nervous disorders; city noises in time affect the ears and the nerves are again in for a siege of trouble. Not even at night or during sleep is there complete quiet in the city. Women become irritable because of excessive blood pressure, and again it is their nerves that suffer—also every one else about them is apt to suffer. All the Difference. The pessimist Fletcherizes his quinine pills. The optimist gets treed by a bear and enjoys the view.—Yale Record. An Allbr. "How many times have I told you not to eat pie with a spoon?" asked Mrs. Cumrox. "Not as many times as you think." replied her husband, humbly. "We don't have anything as plain as pie very often, you know." CRUST COVERED BOY'S HEAD Bolton, Ga.—"My little boy's head was covered with a hard thick crust which cracked with the least pressure causing a discharge of bloody corruption which was so offensive that I could hardly hold him. He was very cross. Some called it milk crust another running tetter and another eczema. "After trying several patent medicines I decided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After using the sample I purchased some Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. After using Cuticura Soap and Ointment three days I was able to remove all the crust and in one week he was entirely cured. Cuticura Soap and Ointment also cured my baby of an ulcerated sore behind her ear and now we think we cannot keep house without them." (Signed) Mrs. Charles Poss, Nov. 5, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address post card "Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston."—Adv. Solomon's Wisdom.

Among its effects are backache, headache, dizziness, irritability, nervousness, drowsiness, "blues," rheumatic attacks and urinary disorders. Later effects are dropsy, gravel or heart disease. If you would avoid uric acid troubles, keep your kidneys healthy. To stimulate and strengthen weak kidneys, use Doan's Kidney Pills—the best recommended special kidney remedy. A Missouri Case Mrs.J.P. Pemberton, 776 S. Lafayette St., Buffalo, NY "My whole body was swollen with dropsy, I had terrible back- aches and headaches, tions were in awful shape.

MGR A series customs ruling relates to that mule animal, the mule Ab America contractor took some mules into Mexico for use upon some construction work there, and upon the completion of the contract brought the mules back to Texas. The customs officials insisted upon his paying duty, but the contractor claimed free entry for the mules as "articles of American growth returned without being advanced in value." The officials declared, however, that the board of appraisers has sustained them, that mules are not "articles." What then, are they? If they are persons, they are certainly entitled to come back home. Since the decision that a hen is not a bird, the customs service has got its natural history fearfully and wonderfully mixed.

Read the TULSA STAR A high class residence district is the latest thing promised the citizens of the East End in the opening of a new addition to Tulsa, which will be known as the Lincoln Addition. The land lies just north of the city limits on Greenwood and is an ideal place for a residence district. The Sand Springs car line runs along side of the new, addition, and when Greenwood is paved some time in the near future, according to information from Commissioner Downing's department, the land will be only 300 or 400 feet from paved streets. There is a great demand in Tulsa at the present time for homes and a grand rush for lots is anticipated when Lincoln Addition is opened, which will be in a week or ten days.
