Of City Great Elimina t Comes T BIG BATTLE IS NOW ON The People to Settle With Their Vote The Great Questions At Issue "There be politics and then there be politicians," each with a sacred (?) duty to their constituents. And we are about to have some politics in Tulsa which will, in a large measure, decide whether Tulsa shall make good as a strictly modern city or a stopping place along the frontier. Let the people understand what the demands of the Future Tulsa will be not in the appeal of the politician, but in the correct understanding of the people—the unselfish view. Tulsa will need more schools, better schools; more paving (as the politician will tell the people, late on); an extended sewer system, parks, better streets in places and a lot of other expensive embellishments and necessities for which the people—the tax payer—must pay. Tulsa must have them. Tulsa will have them. We have to say for the present administration of the city t): they have Tulsa in beautiful shape to turn over to successors in they are defeated for re-elect. And one thing the people should understand: We can all star and criticize the man in office, cuss him for what we think are his mistakes and fail to encourage him for his good service; but when a fellow gets in harness himself, why, things are so different! Always giving credit to the fellow who has done the best he could we are about to ask, who can take up where the present, administration has made? Who can improve where they have failed? Who will? Trust the people, they are always right and their decision will soon be known. The stamp of approval on one hand and disapproval on the other will be dealt out in no uncertain measure on next Tuesday by the people of this city. Every intelligent citizen of Tulsa who has the best interest of his home and its future at heart should go to the polls Tuesday and do his full duty as he sees it. Every man has his faults, and the same holds true with political parties. In deciding the questions at issue in this campaign we should be reasonable and place credit where credit is due. Campaigns of this kind are always waged and pitred one party against the other with the hope of success uppermost in the minds of both sides. Taken seriously, it's a game of honor; taken as we usually meet it, it's a game of politics with honors in favor of the shrewdest politician, SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1914 --- Ladies S. M. T. Holds Meeting Ca. Jackson Divers An Address At a stated meeting by the ladies of the S. M. T., of which Mrs. Callen is the princess, Capt. Jackson was invited to be present. He was called upon to address these sisters of S. M. and T. He responded in his usual way and said. "Sisters and Friends of this Pilgrimess Lodge No. 67 of S. M. and T.: As you are called, you are representatives of one of the noblest orders of the world. I am always glad to be a member of the C. B. F. because the movements of this order under the leadership of your Grand Master and Brother Evans, the master of our lodge, in Tulsa, always has for its one and aim the betterment of woman mankind. This number of and T. is deserving of more a passing consideration by people of Tulsa. They are trying to be a greater factor in the activities of American life, and a larger contributor to its growth and prosperity is the hope of our members as citizens, and was as B. F. shall be pleased to have good will and hearty cooperation of all who are in sympathy with a race struggling against heat odds, endeavoring to reach a higher sphere in man's civilization by thrift, honesty, industry, economy, intelligence and good deportment, coupled with greater awareness for law and the responsibilities of citizenship. We as U. B. F. of Oklahoma hope to win and hold the respect and confidence of the American people. Now, my sisters, if you will have your husbands consider the political conditions of us as a race in Tulsa and induce them to lose sight of partisanship and look for the man of the hour, vote independent of any party; you will find the order will become a great factor and will command more consideration as taxpayers and citizens than ever in Oklahoma. We as good citizens ought to help The Tulsa Star and keep the reputation of our noble order before the people through the columns of this great paper we need so much. It is fact which the public should know, that Negroes in Tulsa own more good, clean, substantial homes than in any other town in the state. Where to Vote Where to Vote A primary election will be held in the city of Tulsa, at the places named below, on Tuesday, March 17th., 1914, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the city offices to be elected on the first Tuesday in April, 1914.

All persons who shall be qualified to vote April 7, 1914, may vote in the primary election, March 17th. The Square Deal Policy Unless the "square deal" for all citizens meets the approval of the best people who make up a community, there are chances that in any unfair plan of development that at a time when the interests of that community need support from the community generally, they will fail to respond to the call. Muskogee was a great little city once; Guthrie was a promising little city once; Oklahoma City has had her day among the prosperous communities of the state. Why are they not keeping their interests along with the cities with which they were once classed? Why is it they cannot interest capital and investments? Why their empty houses and cheap rent? The citizens of each of these cities will tell you, "We went down with the boom." The fact is, they had no boom. They had every opportunity, each of them, in its time, to make a constant growth in population and business—but the leaders deceived the people. Tulsa might learn profitable lessons by astudy of the fates of cities and in the campaign we are putting on for a greater Tulsa, and a better commercial center, it should be borne in mind that the people are with the movement—heart, soul and purse. As long as the affairs of the city are managed in the interest of Tulsa and Tulsa people, the people will be with the officials who are responsible for the progress of the city and county. Negroes not excepted. A Race Man of Some Distinction Prof. Wood Has Made Good As An Educator, Lecturer and Orator 五 There are many great and noble men now upon the stage of action leveting their best energies and talents to the uplift and advancement of our race, and helping in every conceivable way to inspire high ideals, lofty sentiments and new additions into the hearts and lives of all within the reach of their grasp and influence, whose work, devotion and sacrifice is insuring and unwritten. Such men are content to know they are performing a God-sent mission to their fellow man, and laboring quietly, but valiantly, for the salvation of a people who so much care such services. Much is the prototype and character of Prof. W. G. Wood, Jr., of whom it is a pleasure to present to our readers in this sketch. Born near Pleasant Hill, Mo., he was the son of one of the leading farmers of Cass county. His early life was spent on his father's farm imbibing the innocent environments of a country life, being trained by his simple surroundings to look hopefully into the future before him with a longing ambition to be useful and serviceable, and to follow in the wake of the example his good father set before him. His first educational training was in the public schools of his native county, gradually adding to his store of knowledge by self effort, until he had reached the age of his majority. Not being satisfied with the educational training he had received up to this age, he decided to go to Oberlin (Ohio) College. By his industrious efforts he succeeded in his cherished desire, and entered Oberlin, finishing with the degree of A.M. Prof. Wood, in his career, has engaged in many kinds of employment, and refers with pride to the times when he was a book agent, a cigar salesman, a freight handle and a checking clerk for the Santa Fe railroad. From these positions he turned to the teaching profession, and for the past several years has taught in the public schools of Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma, and in 1908 was under the employment of the U. S. government as a teacher in the Philippine Islands, remaining there for 18 months. After quitting the employment of the government he made a tour through several of the foreign countries. Among those he visited and in which he spent some time in study and pleasure-seeking were Germany, Austria-Hungary, China, Japan, South Africa and the South American countries. On his return to the United States he took the lecture field, and delivered lectures in many of the principal cities of the four sections of the U. S. He has clippings from newspapers where he lectured paving the highest com PROF. G. W. WOOD, JR. Educator, Lecturer and Prominent Race Devotee and Leader mandatory notice to his lectures. His lecture subjects consist of "Camping on Higher Ground." "The Moral, Intellectual and Financial Advancement of the Afro-American Checked by Shortsightedness," "Man in Place," together with narrations of his extended trip abroad. While on his tour he gave over 500 lectures to audiences covering the territory from ocean to ocean. In Oklahoma he has delivered as many as 189, several times before white audiences exclusively. These lectures have never failed to impress his hearts and to stamp indelibly upon their minds the vital points brought out in them. Aside from educator and lecturer, Prof. Wood has conducted commercial colleges at Oklahoma City, Boiley and Fort Smith, Ark. He is an expert in shortland and stenography, and has established his record as such in the cities mentioned. The race should be proud and grateful for men of Prof. Wood's ability, usefulness and devotion, and though his name should never be recorded on the pages of history, those with whom he has come in contact and touched with his life and labor, will bless and honor his memory. It is reported that the property holders who were losers in the recent fire at Boley will be rebuild during the summer with brick houses of modern architecture. As soon as the weather gets warm the foundation work will begin. PLEASE PUBLISH THIS LETTER Writes Lady Who can Now Walk Four Miles a Day Without Feeling Tired. Boydton, Va.—Mrs. Fannie Boyd, of this town, says: "I am sure I would have been in my grave, had it not been for Cardul, the woman's tonic, and I certainly cannot praise it enough, for it is worth its weight in gold. I am, today, a walking advertisement for Cardul. Before taking Cardul, I could hardly walk across the floor, I was so weak. I underwent an operation last spring for womanly trouble, but felt no better. After using 8 bottles of Cardul, the woman's tonic, my ulcers were all gone, I can eat hearty without suffering any pain, feel fine in every way, work all day, and can walk four miles a day without feeling tired. Please publish this letter, as I would like for every woman to know what Cardul did for me." Many letters, similar to the above, come to us, unsolicited, every day. This one should surely convince you of the merit of Cardul, as it expresses the earnest sentiment of a lady who has tried it. If you suffer from any of the numerous alliments so common to women, such as headache, backache, nervousness, weakness, pains in sides and limbs, sleeplessness, etc., begin taking Cardul today. It will help you, as it has helped so many others, in the past half century N.

LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE If cross, feverish, constipated give "California Syrup of Figs" A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour. Look at the tongue, mother! If coated, or your child is listless, cross, feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ailment, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," then don't worry, because it is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough "inside cleansing" is oftimes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.

Satisfied with Entertainment A little boy was watching certain adult visitors to a city amusement park ride donkeys. An exceedingly fat woman hired a donkey and was about to mount when she noticed the boy's eager gaze. "Little boy," she called, pleasantly, "don't you want me to hire a donkey for you, too?" "No, thank you," he replied, chuckling, "I'd rather sit here and laugh." Wanted a Change. Mrs. Simpson-Jones wanted to become a suffragette, but her husband objected. "But," she pleaded, "if you only knew what a lot one learns at their meetings. All about referendums, and recalls and—" "I've said no, and that ends it!" snapped Mr. Simpson-Jones. "If you women want to find things out why don't you follow the advice of St. Paul and ask your husbands? You women are such fools." This was too much for Mrs. Simpson-Jones' long humbled spirit. "That's just the trouble," she returned. "Women have been 'asking their husbands' for the last 2,000 years, and they're still fools."—Exchange. LIFE'S ROAD Smoothed by Change of Food. Worry is a big load to carry and an unnecessary one. When accompanied by indigestion it certainly is cause for the blues. But the whole trouble may be easily thrown off and life's road be made easy and comfortable by proper eating and the cultivation of good cheer Read what a Troy woman says: "Two years ago I made the acquaintance of Grape-Nuts and have used the food once a day and sometimes twice, ever since. "At the time I began to use it, life was a burden. I was for years afflicted with billious sick headache, caused by indigestion, and nothing seemed to relieve me. "The trouble became so severe I had to leave my work for days at a time. "My nerves were in such a state I could not sleep and the doctor said I was on the verge of nervous prostration. I saw an adv. concerning Grape-Nuts and bought a package for trial. "What Grape-Nuts has done for me is certainly marvelous. I can now sleep like a child, am entirely free from the old trouble and have not had a headache in over a year. I feel like a new person. I have recommended it to others. One man I knew ate principally Grape-Nuts while working on the ice all winter, and said he never felt better in his life." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

MAKES AN UNEQUALED CAKE Recipe Is an Old One, but Years Have Passed Without an Improvement Being Made in it. A woman who for years has made and sold cakes always uses the same recipe for all kinds of festivities, for wedding cakes, special cakes, holiday cakes, party cakes, and everyday cakes, simply because the cake which she made was so delicious that all the guests wanted one like it, and this desire has been passed on to their children and friends. She keeps many cakes on hand, so that customers may have their cake a day, a week, or a month old, as they like. Each cake weighs about one and one-half pounds, and is labeled with the date of its baking. They are kept in stone jars wrapped in waxed paper. Here is the recipe: One cupful each of sugar, butter and molasses; one cupful home-made jelly or strawberry preserves; one cupful buttermilk; one-half cupful strong coffee; two eggs; one grated nutmeg, two teaspoonfuls clinnamon, one teaspoonful cloves; two teaspoonfuls saleratus (dissolved in one-half cup boiling water); two pounds ralsins; one pound cleaned currants; one pound chopped candied fruit (lemon, orange, citron); six cupfuls flour (measured before sifting). Mix the fruit thoroughly in the flour. Cream butter and sugar, add the eggs, milk and coffee, then the flour containing the fruit. Beat thoroughly and add the spices. Turn into well-buttered pans, and bake at least one hour in a slow oven. ALL AROUND the HOUSE The kitchen will take on a new atmosphere of cheer if it is given a blue and white tile pattern paper and blue oilcloth for floor and table. On the emergency shelf there should be some canned milk with the cans of vegetables and fruit, as there may come a time when oysters will have to be cooked at night or something else cooked for which there is not cream or milk enough. A woman who likes nice things always makes her own lavender water. She takes a bottle of white vinegar and into it puts a handful of lavender flowers. It is allowed to stand five days in a warm place and when strained is ready for use. Handkerchiefs or other articles of wear that have ink spots on them may be washed better if the spot is smeared with mutton tallow before sending it to the laundry. A weak solution of turpentine poured down the water pipes once a week will drive the water bugs away. Half a lemon dipped in salt is excellent for cleaning copper articles. Oxalic acid, too, is equally successful both for copper and brass. Handy Window Pole. Take an old broom-handle. Paint it to harmonize with your room and insert at one end a screw-hook. Screw into the upper sash of each window in the room a ring-screw for the hook on the pole and your window pole is ready for immediate use. This will save you from having to run up and down and through the house looking for a window pole, or climbing on chairs to reach the sashes every time you wish to raise or lower a window. Iron More Easily. An easy way to keep clothes damp for ironing is to sew up a bag from an old sheet and dip in water and do not wring dry. After clothes are dampened place in bag and tie. Clothes treated in this way will iron more easily and stay damp longer than if placed in a basket and covered in the usual way. Laundry Lists. When counting the wash make out two lists, one for the washerwoman and one for yourself. A book may be purchased with carbon paper in it, such as clerks use in the stores. Write the list once and the other will be traced. Baked Pork Chops Take as many thick slices as are needed for the meal, place in a pan with a little water, lay a thin slice of onion on each, season with salt and pepper and bake till done. For Your Oilcloth. A very good and inexpensive polish for oilcloth and linoleum is made by melting bits of candle and adding common turpentine to the grease. Apply the mixture with a soft rag and polish with a clean cloth. Fruit Salad. One pineapple, sliced, peeled, chopped; two oranges, peeled and cut up; three bananas sliced, juice of half a lemon, two tablespoonfuls grape juice, $1 \frac{1}{2}$ cups sugar. Stir and blend. Prepare $1 \frac{1}{2}$ hours before using. The Baking Powder Question Solved —solved once for all by Calumet For daily use in millions of kitchens has proved that Calumet is highest not only in quality but in leavening power as well—unfailing in results—pure to the extreme—and wonderfully economical in use.

Lowest Rate of Interest Fire Proof Vault Strictly Confidential STRIKING A GUSHER When Jared Bliss took sick and the reports from the doctor looked gloomy and foreboding, his friends and rela- Uves called once or twice and then left him to die, It had been ascertained that he was “all in,” not only physical- y but in a financial sense, “He's simply reaping the folly he sowed,” saplently observed his nephew, Walter Pope, forgetting that it was the liberality of the good old man that had originally started him in business. Other selfish and ungrateful rela- tives echoed the sentiments of the in- grate, Pope. The man upon whom they had counted to enrich them when he was through with life had “wanton- ly thrown away his fortune!” He had given about half of it to charity. He had a hobby for antiques and became the victim of every unprincipled curto huckster, He was credulous, benevo- lent, unsophisticated. ‘The stock job- ber and the promoter had worked him to a finish, Netta Lysle was an orphan and daughter of a halfsister of Bliss. The old man knew her, and when her mother died had seen to it that her child was be- stowed in the care of the Pope fam- fly. They had made Netta work for what they gave her, One Christmas Jared Bliss had given her a pretty watch and chain. Its inner case bore a photograph of her mother, and she had always cherished the gift. Feeling kindly as she always did towards all humanity, Netta was shocked at the petty meanness of the Pope family when sickness and ill for- tune overtook the artless kind hearted old man, She realized that ho was practically deserted. One morning she appeared down stairs with her few possessions packed in a satchel. “I am going away, Aunt Martha,” she said simply. “When? Where? Why?” challenged Mrs. Vope. “Right now, to Mr. Bliss, because he must need ¢ome one to take care of him in his sickness,” “Folly! Why, he has no money! Do you want to starve to death with him?" “I won't let him starve while I am able to work,” declared Netta. “This is simpie nonsense!” insisted Aunt Martha.

He listened gravely as she told him ‘she had come to be his housekeeper until he got well, The place was in a state of great neglect and disorder. ‘The piano, the books and some of the furniture had been seized and carted away to satisfy a debt and most of the rooms were bare and cheerless look- ing. Before night the industrious Netta had Uncle Jared 80 comfortable and well fed that he began to cheer up magically. “You are going to get well very fast,” she declared the next morning. “Now I am going to clean house.” It was when she had removed all the rubbish that littered the place, swept it into one room and dusted and put in order the rest of the house, that she told Uncle Jared that he must look over the mass of papers and sort out what was of value, “You'll find nothing amounting to anything,” he observed. “They've ta- ken all the books, old coins and pic- tures that would sell. I'll go over the mess, though, to please you,” but he soon got tired of sorting out the stuff. ‘Then Netta took a hand.

Try Us when you Order agaim, C. L. ANDERSON, Proprietor PHONE save 91 N, GREENWOOD 8T, {t seems, It tells about some land that you bought.” “Well! Well!" exclaimed the old man, as he glanced at the document, “l had actually forgotten all about it. 1 remember now, I bought the land, some forty acres, from a friend who paid a large price for ® thinking it was oll land. He spent a fortune sinking wells but never found any oil. I took {i off his hands to help him out.” A few days later Netta came to him again “I've been thinking about that land, Uncle Jared,” she said, “It is right over the state line, It must have some value. Why, it would make a nice It- tle farm. You say there is a houge on ft. Why couldn't we make a living there?” “We? repeated the old man, “You don't mean to say you'd bury yourself in that desolate spot?” “Uncle Jared,” replied Netta, “I am going to help take care of you just as Jong as you will let me.” It was just a month later when Mr. Bliss and Netta found themselves lo- cated in their new home. It was in the midst of an oil producing district and the landscape was not very Invit: ing. Tho enterprising Netta found, how- ever, that they could ratse enough on the land to live comfortably and the outdoor life was Just the thing for the old man. And then there came a new element into the lonely life of the loyal girl—love, As handsome and manly a young fellow as one would meet in a day's journey came upon the scene, He was superintendent at one of the refineries. He met Netta in the little village near by and It was a case of real love at firet sight. Ned Burton was a cheery helpful sort of a fellow. Saturdays he would come to the little farm and help Netta and her uncle in all kinds of work. There was no well and they had to have their drinking water brought in barrels from a spring two miles away. To remedy this, one eventful Satur day Ned arrived with a boring outfit to tap the ground for water. They had gone down about forty feet and were still boring, when the man at the drill ran back, overcome by an explosion and then a spray that showered up high into the air. “It's oll!" he yelled to Ned. “Say, we've struck {t rich!” “A gusher!” shouted his excited companion. “Why, what does he mean?" faltered the surprised Netta. “Brom what I know of oil wells,” re- plied Ned enthusiastically, “I should say that Mr, Bliss has accidentally come into a big fortune.” ‘They were sure of that when word that a new big strike had been made brought experts and @peculators flock- Ing to the scene. Before the week was out an opera- tive company in the fleld made Mr. Bliss an offer of a fabulous amount for his forty acres, Uncle Jared did two things right away. The first was to purchase a lovely home in the vil- lage, the next to settle on his faithful little housekeeper one-half of his for- tune, And then—a wedding. They called the new home “Heart's Delight,” he- cause it sheltered three loving spirits who had known adversity and apprect- ated the new dawning prosperity with humble, grateful souls, First Davy Safety Lamp. January 9, 1816, saw in the deeps of an English coal mine near Newcastle a little drama in which there were but two actors, the one a clergyman, the other a miner. The latter was busily picking out the coal by the light of a “steel-mill” when he saw approaching him a light. The miner knew the gassy nature of the pit and shouted, “Put out the light:" but no notice was taken even when prayers took the place of oaths. The neweomer was Rev. John Hodgson, rector of Jarrow, and he had in his hand the first Davy safety lamp, now safely housed in the Museum of Practical Geology in Jer- myn street, London. Sir Humphrey Davy, when urged to patent it, replied: “It might undoubtedly enable me to put four horses in my carriage, but what could it avail me to have It said that Sir Humphrey drives his carriage and four bought at the expense of mt ners’ lives?” Titled Rounders. Eva Tanguay, the actress, was con- gratulated at Jack's in New York upon her recent marriage, “It's a love match, too,” sald Miss Tanguay. “It's not the sort of match that our young heiresses make with titled bounders. The average titled bounder, if he told the truth, would, when he proposed to a young heiress, make a speech like this: “Miss Golde—Lotta—I love you for your pelf alone.’” Second Sight.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu- tralize Irritating Acids—Splendid for the System. | Kidney and Bladder weakness result ‘from uric acid, says a noted authority, |The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass {t on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an Irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urlaa tion. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of “water before breakfast, continue this ‘for two or three days. This will neu- tralize the acids in the urine 60 {t no longer is a source of Irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again, Jad Salts 1s inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Iithia, and 1s used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid {rritation.

Hf - FOR EVE OREM ATTIRED ciscascs AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS When Alonzo Steele died in Texas a year or two ago the last white man who fought In the battle of San Ja- cinto passed away, writes Frank Put- nam. A few days ago W. P. Zuber, who, as a boy of sixteen, was with the ‘Texas army at’San Jacinto, but did not bear arms in the fight, died at his Texas home. He was on hospital duty during the fighting. He was the last survivor of all the white men Present on that occaston, but it s not wholly clear that he was the last survivor, It is likely that honor belongs to an ancient darkey, believed to have been Sam Houston's body servant, who still lives in or near Houston. Tho old man’s story ts accepted by the oldest residents, sons, some of them, of men who fought at San Ja- cinto, and more familiar than any one else with the history of that af- fair. The passing of the last white sur- vivor of San Jacinto directs attention to one of the most extraordinary pages of all history. San Jacinto ranks next after the battle of Saratoga and Get- tysburg among the decisive battles fought on this continent. Saratoga proved the British could not subdue their revolting American colonists; Gettysburg determined the fate of the Confederacy; San Jaciato pushed the American rule southward from a vast region on the Pacific coast and from an inland region in- cluding all of Texas, with parts of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Wyoming. The battle of San Jacinto waaf in character unique. It was won with the bowie knife against odds of three to one; won by undisciplined plains- men opposing Santa Anna's best drilled and best equipped regiments. It was the only battle in which the lesser army lured the greater into a position from which there was no es- cape for either except by death or victory. Houston, retreating before Santa Anna, led him into a region bounded by swamps and marshes on two sides, with a wide, deep bayou on another and a narrow bayou, branch of the first, on the fourth side. Houston backed into his position and Santa Anna followed. Then Hous: ton burned the bridge across the nar- row bayou, the only entrance or exit of the theater of battle. A whirlwind campaign was carried ‘on by the colored people of Philadel- phia to raise enough of the money pledged last year toward a colored Y. M. C. A, to make the $15,000 originally asked of them, It was announced at a meeting of the board of directirs of the Y. M. C. A. that the choice of loca- tion had narrowed down to two lots, on both of which they have options. The money for the lot 1s already in bank, and when a decision is made it will be bought at once. An archi- tect accompanied a special committee to Indianapolis to study the new col- ored Y. M. C. A. that has recently been erected there and is considered one of the most complete in the coun- try. It ts expected the building will be well under way early In the sum- mer, ‘The building will contain a gym: nasium, swimming pool, ete, It will have educational features and be a social center for the colored men of the city. It will also provide a hotel for the better class of colored people who are passing through the elty and now have no accommodations, Of the 2,273,000 illiterates 617,000 are native whites, including both those of native, foreign and mixed parentage; 879,000 are negroes and 738,000 are immigrants, ‘There are interesting and encouraging points with regard to the two latter classes. The negro filiterates seem to be a large number. But {t represents a decrease of 157,999 during the dec- ade, while the total of that popula- tion shows an increase of 398,000. The illiterate negroes are almost wholly located in the south, where they are not permitted to vote and are decreasing there. In 1894 the total forest area of Switzerland was 2,091,000 acres, repre- senting 20.2 per cent. of the total surface area of the country. In 1911 the forest acreage was 2,258,000, equal to 21.86 per cent.-of the total area of the country, an inerease of 167,000 acres. Instead of being an expense, the forests of Switzerland are a source of profit to the government. Most of the widows of Paris are re- ‘married within 18 months of thelr eee bereavement. < TULSA, Oa a ean After a careful Investigation of the facts, | am convinced that every day in the year there are as many as 200,000 people of my race who are sick enough to be incapacitated for work, writes Booker 'T, Washington. Other persons have estimated the number of negroes who are sick all ‘the time to be as high as 450,000. If ‘these figures are correct, it means that on the average every member of sy race spends annually 18 days in bed, in the hospital, suffering pain for recuperating from sickness that might be spent in some form of wholesome enjoyment or in useful and efficient labor, It 1s safe to say, on the same basis, that every day in the year there are 112,009 negro workers idle, as result of sickness, who would otherwise be at work {n some form of useful employment. , This is a great loss not oly to the negro, but it is a great loss to the country. It has been estl- mated that in the south alone there is a net loss to the negro in earn- ings and to the community as a whole in productive labor of $40,000,- 000 a year, “This Immense loss is not due to the physical weakness of the negro race. I have frequently heard it said that the negro, as he lived in Africa, was more vigorous and more robust than any other race on earth. He had to be so to stand the climate. Even today one will seldom find among any race of people finer spect- mens of physical manhood than the sturdy, unspotled people of the negro race in the country districts of the south. These people are an asset to the country and to the south, and it seems to me that it is the duty of every patriotic citizen to do what he can to conserve the life and health of this portion of the population in the condition in which it now is. _ Boston people who are deeply in- ‘terested in the work that Dr, Booker 'T. Washington is doing at Tuskegee ‘turned out in numbers to hear him at Trinity church, where he told the tory of Tuskegee’s progress. during ‘the last year. Dr. Washington has just. come from the south on his an- ‘nuai visit to Boston. Owing to the ‘generosity of thousands of Tuskegee's friends Dr. Washington has been able ‘to give more of his time to the admin- ‘istrative work of the institution year after year. One of the great prob- lems now is that of training spectal- ists In varied lines of southern work, particularly those of education and ag- riculture. Just before Dr. Washing: ton left Tuskegee 26 county superin- tendents of education from various counties in Alabama spent a part of two days at Tuskegee with the idea of getting Information and plans for their work among the colored chil dren. ‘The influence which Tuskegee 1s exerting as a strictly educational force is rightly gratifying to the trus- tees, Furthermore, Tuskegee cannot begin to supply the demand for farm leaders. The bell weevil has con- vinced the southern planters that they must take up diversified farming in order to make their lands pay. Bank ers and merchants are also vitally tn- terested in the training of these agri- culturists and many prizes are being offered. Dr. Washington told his Bos- ton audience about the greatest year the institution ever had and the pos sibilities of splendid advances in the near future. Many a man punctures his tire or the road to wealth.

No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as {t does {t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your halr, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy.

When young birds are brought in from the range we often find ourselves in need of more house room to winter the increased flock. There are several ways in which the summer colony coops may be made to piece out the winter houses. If there is but one it may be placed close to the main house and used as an extra scratching and exercising room. The owls may then pass from the main room to the addition by means of a tube constructed of boards and set into the opening about 10 by 20 inches in size, cut near the floor of each building. A dry goods box with top and bottom removed will answer nicely as a connecting passageway. Some people fit up the summer colony coops as laying rooms, arranging all nests in them and thus leaving the whole space in the main building for use of the hens in the daytime. Still others use the coops as dusting rooms. Especially do the early brooder houses answer nicely for this, as there is usually plenty of sunlight. The dust may be kept moist and free from trash and so does not get into the food and water vessels, as it often does when nesting and feeding must be done in the same room. Sometimes two or three of these coops are used together for a small flock, one being used for a roosting room, one for a nest room and exercise. In each case they are joined by a wooden tube or passageway. Some make their summer colony coops of knockdown sections so arranged that some five or six of them may be set up together in one continuous shed for sheltering the birds in winter. Such a pen must either be banked with straw or covered with paper for the winter to make it windproof. By the time the young birds are ready for the colony houses another year the old ones are having free run of the farm. DRINKING PAN AND GRIT BOX Vessel Is Elevated to Prevent Litter Being Scratched Into It—Contrivance Is Easily Made. The accompanying illustration of a combination drinking pan and grit box appeared in a recent issue of Successful Farming. The idea of elevating the drinking pan is to keep the water clean and prevent litter being scratched into it. The birds soon learn to fly upon the perch in front of the pan, to get the clear water. The pan itself is made about three inches deep, so that when the water becomes frozen it can be easily dumped out. The small hopper or box under the grit, or be divided into compartments drinking pan is made on the self-feeding principle, and may be used for grit, or be divided into compartments END VIEW FRONT Drinking Pan and Hopper. for oyster shell and grit, or beef scrap. The frame on which the pan rest: is made to fit over the side of the hopper, the cross slats being firm on the top of the hopper. The whole contrivance can be easily made out of odds and ends of lumber found lying around most poultry or barn yards. The combination, when finished, is hung on the wall at a convenient height. PROFITABLE TO GRADE EGGS Better Prices Are Always Secured When Eggs Are Sorted According to Size and Color. Even buyers at the country store will appreciate your efforts if you will sort your eggs according to size and color. Graded eggs show up a great deal better than those that are piled in promiscuously, and should—and will—command a better price if the dealer's attention is called to the fact, and he is assured that your eggs will be furnished that way all the time. There are few, even of country stores, that would not be able to command a higher price for uniform, clean, fresh eggs, attractively picked, and one that produces that kind the year round can secure an advance in the market price.

Call at the Traders Traders 106 East Second Street When we commenced business 16 months ago other grocerymen said our manager did not know enough to run a successful business, etc.!!! We must confess that we do not know what to do. People come in such great numbers and our room is small and many of our BEST customers do not get proper attention. We hope they will forgive us and give us another chance to make good. We have NO ill will toward any merchant in Tulsa and we can see no REASON why any one should always be HOWLING at us. This is a FREE country and we should have a right to buy as we please and also have a right to SELL as we please Regardless of what others say or do. Our SYSTEM is DIFFERENT. We buy in carboard lots and pay cash. We buy for less. We do not credit—We lose nothing. We do not deliver. We save the expense of keeping up AUTOMOBILES and TEAMS. We CAN sell for less and we DO sell for less. We buy our flour DIRECT from the best mills in Kansas. We SAVE the JOBBERS profits and sell direct to the consumer for LESS than other grocerymen have to pay the jobbers for their flour. We sell a carload of flour each week. Our flour is BETTER than Polar Bear, Pride of Perry, North Pole and Main Line. It must be as good as Red Star or bring it back. We sell more groceries than any other store in Tulsa. Come and see for yourselves. Our stock is NEW and CLEAN, and the best in the city and why should a competitor LIE about our stock when so many people who trade with us know the faulty of his statements. You must be pleased with everything you buy of us or your money back. People are coming for miles to see our store and when they see the NEWEST and CLEANEST stock of groceries in Tulsa they are delighted and say they can NOW understand why so many LIES have been published and TOLD about the Trader's. 24 lbs best flour in Tulsa ..... 55c 6 lbs, Pure Granulated Sugar ..... 25c 23 lbs, Pure Cane Granul'd Sugar $1 1 Peck Best Burbank Potatoes ..... 24c Best Michigan Navy Beans, lb ..... 41½c Best Speckled Beans, lb ..... 5c Best Pink Beans, lb ..... 61¼c Heavy Fat Backs, lb ..... 10c Good Shoulder plates, lb ..... 10c Picnic Hams, lb ..... 19½c 7 bars Best White Soap ..... 25c 10 bars yellow Soap ..... 25c 8 bars Diamond C Soap ..... 25c 2 boxes best matches ..... 5c Good Cabbage, lb ..... 3c Best Northern Bliss or Triumph You can not JUDGE a store by ADVERTISED prices.
