State Reformatory Refused to Accept Colored Youths No Place of Reformation For Youthful Negro Offenders But The Whites Are Are amply Provided For Victoria A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE Official O an of The Vol. 3, No. 13 Will Leg State Reformato to Accept No Place of Reform Negro Offenders B Are amply CAN'T FORCE NEGROES UPON STATE SCHOOLS OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 20.—Action of officials of the state training school at Pauls Valley in refusing to take charge of two Negro youths; convicted of burglary in Wagoner county, was upheld in an opinion announced Friday by Assistant Attorney General R. E. Wood at the request of E. E. Castle, prosecuting attorney of Wagoner county. The opinion, written after a long conference between the attorney general and the entire staff of assistants, held that there is no law which would compel officials of any state institution for delinquent to accept Negro prisoners. It advised the Wagoner authorities that the only disposition that can be made of the boys, apparently, is to have them placed in the hands of responsible people on orders of the probate judge. The attorney general's letter suggested that legislation establishing a reform or training school for Negro delinquents is needed. It called attention to the fact that under existing law there is no place to send Negro criminals who are under age. Negroes never have been accepted at Pauls Valley, but the question of whether officials of the institution could be forced to take them never was brought up before. The above article shows conclusively the great need of a state reform school for the Colored youths of this state and the absolute fairness and justness of the demands of the Colored people of Oklahoma upon the present legislature for relief. Why compel the Negro to pay taxes and receive no benefits therefrom? Let us have a reform school for the Negroes. Rentie People Surprise Pastor Rentie People Surprise Pastor Mr. A, J. Smitherman, editor Tulsa Star Dear Sir: Please allow me space in your paper to say a few words about the people that am pastoring at Rentie, near Jenks, Okla. On the 5th Sunday in January, 1915 we had services in the morning and Rev. L. S. Shaw, a young minister of the church preached and we had a lovely meeting and in the afternoon we had an old fashion A. M. E. class meeting and after the evening services were all over I went to my room and to my surprise I found that the so loyal members of Renties Chappel A. M. E. church had a box that weighed 100 pounds packed with eatibles of all kinds and I take this method of thanking the members and friends of Rentie for their kind hospitality to their pastor and to let the public know what we are doing. Come again members and friends my room is always open to receive you. Respectfully yours, R. H. CURTIS, P. C. Sapulpa, Okla. --- The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, FEBUARY 6, 1915. One of Tulsa's Progressive Men A. L. PHILLIPS A. L. Phillips, the subject of this sketch is a valuable property holder of this city who is a very quiet and unassuming man 50 years of age, a race man to the core. He has lived in Tulsa five years and he has worked every day af that time. He was at one time employed by O. W. Gurley in his grocery store, but after a few months through Prof. J. W. Hughes, who was at that time employed by the Pioneer Telephone Company, he secured a position as janitor for the Pioneer building with Prof. Hughes. Since that time he has worked continuously for the Pioneer people as chief of the janitors and general custodian. There are now eight Colored men working for the company who secured their jobs through Mr. Phillips, and they are all at work under his orders. The company have implicit confidence in him and he cherishes this trust as one would a dear keep sake. Mr. Phillips is sole owner of the Phillips-West building on N. Greenwood and also has a number of rent houses in the East End. There are few men anywhere more public spirited and race loving than A. L. Phillips. He is all that means progressive and energetic. Tulsa would be a much better town if we had more men of his kind. Mr. Phillips was born and reared in Hope, Hemstead county, Ark. Caver to Return to Tulsa Soon H. J. Caver, the tailor who was recently called to Pine Bluff, Ark., to his tor of his brothers' estatecmfwmff brothers' death and who was made administrator of his brothers' estate has announced his intention to return to Tulsa and enlarge his business here. In a letter the Star received from him he says he will install several new machines, both steam and electric. which will make the Cavers Cleaning establishment here one of the best equipped in the city. The Cavers plant at Pine Bluff which is said to be worth $30,000 is in charge of a cousin, Wm. Caver, of Pine Bluff. Mr. Caver expresses a desire to meet all friends and customers upon his return with the same old smile. National Ass'n For A. of C.P.

Johnson Puts in New Machine W. .B Johnson, proprietor of the Royal Cleaning and Tailor shop in N. Cincinnati has just installed a new steam pressing machine at a cost of $250.00 whics is said to be one of the best in the market. Later on it is the plans of Mr. Johnson to install other machines which will enable him to compete in every way with any cleaning establishment in the city. With the new pressing machine the Royal Cleaners are now able to put out work much quicker and better than before. Mr. Johnson invites all friends and customers to come in and see the new machine at work.

Pullen about 6 o'clock Saturday evening and for the time escaped arrest was cuaght at Claremore Wednesday and returned to Tulsa to face a charge of first degree murder. It is said Cole killed Pullen because the latter had a few hours before married his former sweetheart. The body of Pullen is being held at the Home Undertaking Parlors pending word from his relatives. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS One hundred years ago the first colored troops who ever served in the army of the United States won the commendation of General Jackson in the battles in and around New Orleans. It was there that a small part of the regular army, the militia of several of the southwestern states, and two detachments of colored troops won the final engagement which drove the invaders from the shores of that portion of the country. January 21 General Jackson read an address to each of the commands which had taken part in the battles, reviewing the campaign, and saying of the engagement of January 8 that the loss of the enemy was more than 3,000 while the American loss was but 13—a wonderful interposition of heaven! An unexampled event in the history of war!" General Jackson characterizes the event. In his general orders of January 21, prior to breaking camp, General Jackson complimented the various regiments and commands, saying of the two bodies of colored volunteers: "They have not disappointed the hopes that were formed of their courage and perseverance in the performance of their duty. Majors Lacoste and Daquin, who commanded them, have deserved well of their country." Yet, although these colored troops were commended for their coolness and bravery under fire, especially in the memorable engagement of December 23 when they were attached to Coffee's brigade, which opened the series of battles, recognition for their services, by way of pension and bounty, was withheld for several years after their discharge from the service and then was granted only after an opinion had been given by William Wirt, attorney general of the United States at that time, that they might legally be so recompensed. When the colored troops enlisted the act of congress of December 24, 1811, provided a bounty of $16, with three months' pay, and a grant of 160 acres of land to those who had served five years, the same amount of land to the heirs of those killed in battle, and the same amount of land to the heirs of those who had died in the service after having served five years. The act of January 11, 1812, carried like provisions, and the act of December 10, 1814, again carried the provisions, except that the amount of land granted was doubled. After the colored troops were mustered out, application was made in their behalf for recognition under these acts, especially for the bounty of 320 acres of land, but it was not until 1823 that their claims were recognized.—James Croggon in the Washington Star. It is reported in the newspapers of Transbaikal that new, exceedingly rich gold fields were discovered on lands belonging to the czar in the region of Station Zilovo, of the Transbaikal railroad on the Bolshol Urium river system. Upton, near Peterboro, one of the smallest parishes in England, possesses a mysterious tombstone of black marble which emits a damp ooze in patches whenever rain is about to fall. The stone is regarded in the village as an infallible barometer. It is estimated that there are 4,258,000,000 tons of iron ore unmined in the United States. "Few people realize to what an extent the nation is indebted to the educated colored man for the maintenance of peace between the races. While many race wars have been predicted, no serious and prolonged racial conflict has taken place in recent years in the South. It has been in a very large degree the influence of the educated Negro who has counseled patience, forbearance and sympathetic co-operation between the two races that has prevented disgraceful outbreaks and has resulted in securing and maintaining a large degree of peace and harmony between the races. The people of this nation should remember that the Negro is not a beggar so far as his personal needs are concerned. He supports himself in clothes and shelter, and has done so for 45 years. The only call that he has made upon the public has been for aid in the direction of education, moral and religious training."—B. T. Washington. Of about 1,400,000 pounds of caviar obtained each year by the Astrakhan fisheries, approximately 75 per cent is exported. Spellman seminary has trained many competent women for domestic service, the majority of them going back to the country from which they came, and marrying, while those who go into service in Atlanta are satisfactory. The Fort Valley school for the industrial uplift of the Negro has had little monetary assistance in Georgia. The domestic science school, established by that capable Negro of Athens, Samuel Harris, through various agencies, has most of its support from outsiders, and Linton Ingraham, that faithful ex-slave, who was born on Alexander Stephens' plantation, is struggling to raise $1,500 to build, as a memorial to Mr. Stephens, an industrial school at Sparta, Ga., where domestic science is one of the purposes. He has the highest indorsement from the white men of that vicinity, the governor of the state indorses his work, and the men of thought who have seen it and appreciate the good purpose of it, but Ingraham is begging enough money now to go North and get the necessary $1,500 for the completion of the build ing. Individually, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Heard of Rose Hill farm, have established a school for domestic science for the Negro employees on their plantation, but in no city or town in the state where the cry for domestic service is loudest, is any step being taken to train for domestic science. To meet this condition, an ideal system has been devised in the work being done for the Negro at Hampton institute, Virginia, where Negro boys and girls are being trained to meet and work out the conditions now threatening the progress of the race Hampton institute is an undenominational school for the training of teachers and leaders in agriculture, the trades and community work. Its aim, as expressed in 1859 by General Armstrong, has not changed: "To train selected youth who shall go out and teach and lead their people, first by example by getting land and homes; to give them not a dollar they can earn for themselves; to teach respect for labor; to replace stupid drudgery with skilled hands; and to these ends to build up an industrial system, for the sake not only of self-support and intelligent labor, but also for the sake of character." Hampton has recently published a pamphlet, "Education for Life," which contains General Armstrong's leading ideas on education—a working philosophy of Christian Living. "Education for Life" contains sections on education of hand, education of the mind, education of the character. Those who are interested in education which spells service and progress, will wish to read "Education for Life" and then compare their impressions with these words of endorsement, issued by the United States bureau of education: "It is felt that General Armstrong's theory and demonstration of practical education have proved to be right, not merely for the races for which they were immediately intended, but for boys and girls everywhere, since they represent a successful attempt to work out one of the most momentous tasks of our time—that of creating an education that shall be an effective force for training productive, efficient members of society." In December work began on the bridge over the Juan Diaz river about nine miles from Panama. It is a re-enforced concrete arch of something over one hundred-foot span, which will be the longest span arch on the isthmus. A number of re-enforced concrete culverts with spans ranging from six to thirty feet have also been constructed throughout the country. One of the few funds, if not the only one, left for charity by a president of the United States, is used in Lancaster, Pa., for buying coal for the poor at Christmas and for other good uses. The fund was left by President Buchanan, who was a resident of Lancaster, and the income now amounts to about $3,000 a year. The wealth of the United Kingdom in 1814 was computed at about $12,500,000,000, while a conservative estimate would place it now at about $85,000,000,000, an increase of 850 per cent, while population has grown 130 per cent. The income of the British people in this period has increased 700 per cent—form $1,500,000,000 to $12,000,000,000. TULSA. OKLA., STAR 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. Heroism Not Decaying. People who are constantly afraid of the decay of herolism ought to be reassured by the manifestation of that virtue in the New York subway fire. The subway, full of smoke and gases, and with more than two thousand human beings trying to get out, and climbing over each other in their fright, or succumbing to suffocation, was not a pleasant thing to go into. But firemen, policemen, and a good many citizens plunged into the darkness and fire and smoke to rescue the prisoners, and showed about as much courage, and as self-sacrificing regard for their fellows as men who on the field of battle get Iron and Victoria Crosses. And this is not unusual; the heroic virtues are displayed abundantly in all emergencies and dangers by men and women who have not the supporting sense of orders from above or comrades at their side.—Philadelphia Record. INDIGESTION, GAS OR SICK STOMACH Time it! Pape's Diapepsin ends all Stomach misery in five minutes.

Go now, make the best investment you ever made by getting a large fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any store. You realize in five minutes how needless it is to suffer from indigestion, dyspepsia or bad stomach. Adv. Sawdust as a Dressing. Dr. Charles W. Cathcart urges in the British Medical Journal the use of pinewood sawdust as a dressing for wounds. It must be obtained from absorbent wood, slifted through a No. 8 sieve, and then through a No. 49 sieve to remove the dust. It must be sewn up in sterilized gauze bags, loosely filled, and these are placed upon the wound. They absorb the discharges, deodorize the secretions and act to a slight extent as antiseptics. Glut of Peach Stones. A pile of 500 tons of peach stones has accumulated at the entrance to a great canning factory in California, where it has been the custom in other years to crack the pips, ship the kernels to Germany for the manufacture of prussic acid, and other chemicals, and sell the shells for fuel. The German demand has fallen off this year. Anyway, it's none of a man's business how old a woman is. Don't exaggerate or misrepresent an article advertised in this page.

A Big Influence It is surprising the wonderful influence good digestion has on your general health. It not only promotes strength, but also keeps the liver active and bowels open. Therefore, watch the digestion and as soon as any weakness is manifested resort to Impromptu Solo. Pierre Garat, the singer and exquisite of Napoleonic France, was not merely a glass of fashion and a wonderful, self-instructed singer, but an artist devoted to his art. But is the following, asks Mr. Bernard Miall in his biography, an example of sincerity in art, or of love of attracting attention? Coupigny had supplied him with a "romance" to be set to music. Whenever the two met, Garat replied, "I have not hit upon an idea as yet." One day Coupigny was walking down the Rue Neuve-des-Petits-Champs. Hearing a sound of some one running behind him, he turned; it was Garat, who seized him by the arm, dragged him up the stairs of a neighboring house, and, halting on the first landing, exclaimed, "I've got it!" At once he began to sing the romance through at the top of his voice. The inhabitants of the house began to open their doors; heads were projected over the banisters; finally they began to approach; but Garat, having finished, tore down the stairs like a monkey, dragging the bewildered poet with him.—Youth's Companion. "You say she is old-fashioned?" "Oh, hopelessly so. She is still making a collection of picture postcards!" The First Case. "Where do you suppose the expression 'not in it' arose?" "Probably with Adam and Eve." Men laugh at trouble and women cry over it—at least, that's the way they usually act at a wedding. Men wouldn't care how much their wives talked if they would only use the sign language.

For laundry purposes it has no equal. 16 oz package 10c. 1-3 more starch for same money DEFIANCE STARCH CO., Omaha, Nebraska YANKEE CAPTAINS DEFY BRITISH DACIA, $800,000 CARGO OF COTTON CLEARS AT GALVESTON Wilhelmina With $200,000 Worth of Foodstuffs Leaves New York→ Both May Be Captured Galveston.—The steamship Dacia departed for Rotterdam at daylight Saturday morning, her announced destination being Rotterdam via Norfolk. It is noted on her manifest that her cargo will be reshipped to Bremen. Her hatches have been sealed by the collector of the port. The Dacia carries 11,000 square bales of cotton, a cargo valued by the shippers at $880,000. They are to get for this cargo 16 cents per pound, or $80 per bale, laid down in Bremen. The government bureau took a part of the insurance on that valuation at 46 percent. The freight rate charged is $3.50 per bale, the highest ever paid for cotton transportation. Captain George McDonald who will command, the vessel on her trip has a crew of 311 men, all Americans. He said he did not expect to deviate from the usual course of steamships and would make no particular effort to avoid capture. New York.—Risking possible seizure by British warships lying off the Atlantic coast, the American-owned steamer Wilhelmina, flying the American flag and loaded with approximately $200,000 worth of foodstuffs consigned by an American commission firm to an American citizen in Germany, passed out to sea Friday night. It is the first voyage of the kind undertaken by any vessel from an American port since war began in Europe, nearly six months ago. If the Wilhelmina is detained or seized the W. L. Green Commission Company of St. Louis, charterers of the vessel and shippers of her cargo, will file a protest with the American state department declaring that the cargo is conditional contraband, denying the right of a belligerent warship to confiscate it and requesting the United States to demand the immediate release or ship and cargo. The cargo consist of grain, meats and dried fruits and is intended, according to the shippers, for consumption by the civilian population of Germany and will not be sold directly or indirectly to the German government or its armed forces. A guarantee to this effect was filed with the United States customs authorities in the form of an affidavit by W. T. Brooking, representing the shippers. Their counsel said the shippers were prepared to back this guarantee with a bond in any amount. Mr. Brooking will go to Hamburg to dispose of the cargo, if it escapes seizure by warships, in retail lots to private concerns. He probably will obtain written guarantees that the foodstuffs will be redisposed of only through retail trading with citizens and that the military and naval forces will not be given or sold any part of it. (COREASE IN WHEAT ACREAGE Oklahoma Heads List of States for Wheat With 515,000 Acres. Washington.—Responding to the plea for the planting of more food crops and less cotton, nearly 4,000,000 acres devoted to cotton last year have been planted to wheat and oats a year, according to a report of the department of agriculture. With an increase of more than 500,000 acres, Oklahoma heads the list of eleven states on which figures were compiled concerning the increase in wheat. South Carolina shows the greatest increase in oats with 336,000 acres more than in 1913. The estimated figures as made public by the department of agriculture were: Planted in oats, fall of 1913, 2,455,000; 1914, 4,355,000. Planted in wheat fall of 1913, 5,- 459,000; 1914, 7,271,000. A table, prepared by the depart- ment, giving the gain acreage increaso in eleven southern states included: STATE Wheat Oats Inc. Inc.

There were seventy-six passengers, many of them women, and thirty-two members of the crew on board. The monetary loss to the ship is placed at $120,000; to the cargo at $10,000. Passengers lost heavily in personal property. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR BILIOUS, HEADACHY, SICK "CASCARETS" Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while you sleep. Get a 10-cent box.

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 polsons 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. Never Got Through Beresford Book. During the Boxer rebellion in China one of the missionaries was reading Lord Charles Beresford's book on "The Break-up of China" while the bullets of the Boxers were raining round. He had not gone very far into the volume when the pages wooed him to sleep. The book lay beside him on the pillow. Biff-ff-ff! came a Mannlicher bullet through the window, in a bee line for the man's head, but Lord Charles' book lay in the bee line. The bullet stuck in the book, but failed to penetrate it. The missionary jumped up, gave thanks for his escape, packed up the book ready for the first parcel post, and addressed to Lord Charles Beresford with a polite note. He said: "My Lord—I think it only right to send you this copy of your excellent book . . . as neither myself nor the Boxers' bullets can get through it." OLD SOLDIER WISHES TO HELP SUFFERERS FROM KIDNEY, LIVER AND BLADDER TROUBLES. I am frequently troubled with kidney and bladder trouble, especially in the Spring and Fall. Being an old Veteran of the Civil War, a little exposure or cold settles on my kidneys, and then I am laid up with kidney or bladder trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root was recommended to me a number of years ago, and I took a number of bottles of it and was more than pleased with the results. I consider Swamp-Root the greatest and best kidney medicine on the market and it never fails to give quick results in kidney trouble, bladder trouble and lame back. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root has done me so much good that I feel if any words of mine will be the means of relieving any poor sufferers, that you are at liberty to use this letter as you see fit. GEORGE W. ATCHLEY, 1786 Walker St. Des Moines, Iowa. State of Iowa Poke County A. R. Hansen, a retail druggist of this city, being first duly sworn deposes and says, that he is well acquainted with George W. Atchley, who gave the above testimonial; that said Atchley made and signed said testimonial in my presence and that I have sold said Atchley a part of the Swamp-Root referred to in above testimonial. Affiant further says that George W. Atchley is a well known citizen of this city and an honorable man, and that it was Mr. Atchley's desire to give said testimonial. A. R. HANSEN.

Dear Co-Workers and Friends: The Oklahoma State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs now have a bill before the legislature asking for the establishment of a State Training School or Reformatory for wayward and incorrigible Negro boys and girls. We are earnestly requesting the help and co-operation of all Club women of the State, in securing its passage. As is well known, we now have no place in the State, for the care and training of our wayward youth, consequently many of our boys and girls who might be trained into useful men and women, are drifting into those forms of crime which will ultimately make them confirmed criminals. a disgrace to the race and a menace to society. We are asking the assistance of not only the Club women, but of every worth while organization in the State We earnestly solicit the help of the Ministerial Alliance, the Fraternal Orders, the Commercial Clubs, the Medical and Bar Associations and any others who might feel inclined. We trust that the clubs and these organizations will, as a body, write letters to each Senator and Representative from your district, setting forth the great need of such an institution and urging them to support the bill. We also trust that each will make as great personal effort as possible. We are trying to bring every influence to bear upon the members of the Assembly, and if we would receive the consideration from them, which we hope to do it will mean the concerted action of our people all over the State. Please give this matter your earnest consideration and pray for our success. Yours for "Lifting as we Climb." MRS. H. P. JACOBSON.

In 1788 John Ward, an English theatrical manager, opposed a match between his daughter and a member of his company, not wishing her to marry an actor. He finally gave consent, however, conselling himself with the thought that the young man was not much of an actor. In this he was mistaken, for the young man, whose name was Roger Kemble, not only succeeded well in his profession, but became the founder of a family that is remarkable in the annals of the English stage. Twelve children were born to the couple, of whom eight remarked maturity; and every one of the eight made some effort on the stage. The oldest child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Siddona. The oldest son, John Philip, was probably the greatest actor of his day, and was known as "the great Kemble." The eleventh child, Charles, was a renowned comedian, while his daughter, Fanny Kemble, was probably the best known to the public of all the family. Her sister, Adelaide, attained considerable popularity as a public stage. Her son married the daughter of General Grant. (Copyright, 1911, by Joseph R. Bowhall. SYRUP OF FIGS FOR A CHILD'S BOWELS 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 $\bullet$ Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv. Heroic Savers of Life. If one could behold the scope of the work of the life savers in a single glance he could see that these 2,000 men meet at a thousand stations on dark and lonely shores and exchange brass checks and bring these brass checks with them on their return to their life stations as evidence that they had patrolled the coast. Never has one of these faithful servants failed to come back promptly with the check of the patrol, unless he was halted by a case of distress and even then his fellow patrol comes on to meet him. Scores of men give their lives to the devouring sea to save life and millions of property. There are now 290 stations on the sea and lake coasts of the United States. There are men in the service that have saved as many as 300 lives and literally every man in the service has been an actor in one or more of its 10,000 hero stories. In 1912 rescue service was rendered to 1,671 vessels, carrying 6,800 passengers, the total value of these vessels and their cargoes being $11,000,000. British Tactics.

PURCHASE OF MUNITIONS OF WAR Cannot Be Stopped and Administration Declares It Is Not Our Fault If the Allies Are the Only Buyers At Our Market. Washington. — Answering nineteen separate and specific charges, calling attention to the fact that the United States government has promptly taken to task Great Britain, France and other allied powers, and declaring that every possible effort was being put forth to protect these rights and maintain the strict neutrality of the United States to the European nations at war, the United States government has issued a lengthy defense of its interpretations of the rights and duties of a neutral. A document 5,000 words long, prepared by President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Counsellor Robert Lansing of the state department, after several days' of consultation, was made public in the form of a letter from the secretary of state to Senator Stone of Missouri, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations. While the letter is a reply to an inquiry from Senator Stone for information as a result of complaints made in the press and in letters from various parts of the country, charging the Washington government with unfairness to Germany and Austria, it also is intended as a pronouncement of policy on some questions of neutrality previously unexplained. Concerning War Munitions After answering nineteen separate and specific charges and calling attention to the fact that the United States has promptly taken to task Great Britain as well as Germany and every government which in any way has infringed upon the rights of this country, the letter concludes with the following declaration on the much discussed question of exportation of war munitions: "If any American citizens, partisans of Germany and Austria-Hungary, feel that this administration is acting in a way injurious to the cause of those countries this feeling results from the fact that on the high seas the German and Austro-Hungarian naval power is thus far inferior to the British. It is the business of a belligerent operating on the high seas, not the duty of a neutral, to prevent contraband from reaching an enemy. Those in this country who sympathize with Germany and Austria-Hungary appear to assume that some obligation rests upon this government in the performance of its neutral duty, to prevent all trade in contraband and thus equalize the difference due to the relative naval strength of the belligerents. No such obligation exists; it would be an unneutral act, an act of partiality on the part of this government to adopt such a policy if the executive had the power to do so. "If Germany and Austria-Hungary can not import contraband from this country it is not because of this fact, the duty of the United States to close its markets to the allies. The markets of this country are open upon equal terms to all the world, to every nation, belligerent or neutral." During the course of the letter's discussion of the serious charges made, the following facts hitherto undisclosed were revealed for the first time: That the Canadian government recently asked the United States for permission to ship "war equipment" across Alaska to the sea and the request was refused. Protest to Allies. That the United States has brought to the attention of an "offending government" the searching of an American vessel for German-Austrian subjects, "with a declaration that such procedure, if true, is an unwarranted exercise of jurisdiction over American resseels in which this government will not acquiesce." The government to whom this declaration has been made was not stated in the letter, but the incident is known to relate to the search by a boarding crew from a French cruiser of an American ship plying between two ports in Colombia, when it is alleged some German passengers were forced to sign a promise not to participate in the war. It was this occurrence which led to a warning speech by Senator Stone to the belligerents against such searches of American ships. That sharp representations also were made to another of the allied governments because search was conducted on the high seas on an American ship for German and Austrian passengers. The name of the vessel or offending government was not revealed. That on December 15 last the German ambassador by direction of his government delivered a memorandum to the United States government stating that "under the general principles of international law, no exception can be taken to neutral states letting war material go to Germany's enemies from or through neutral territory." That representations were made to both Japan and Great Britain against the continued presence of their warships off American ports and that the protests in each case was heeded. That since the announcement of the Washington government's disapproval of war loans, none has been made to foreign governments by this country. A distinction is drawn officially for the first time between loans floated by popular subscription and large credit transactions for the purchase of war supplies, the state department revealing that it has no objection to the latter. Fair to All. In a general way the letter sets forth that rules of neutrality have been promulgated by the American government without discrimination and have been applied with equal fairness to all concerned. It cites instances of violations by Germany and Great Britain and asserts that protests have been unhesitatingly entered regardless of the country offended. GERMANS LOSE ANOTHER CRUISER Disastrous End to Venture Into the North Sea London.—The German armored cruiser Blucher was sunk and two other German cruisers were "seriously damaged" in a running fight with a British patrolling squadron in the North Sea, according to an announcement by the British official press bureau. None of the British ships were sunk and only light casualties were reported by the British fleet. One hundred and twenty-three of the Blucher's crew of 885 were saved. The official announcement said: "A British patrolling squadron of battle and light cruisers under Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, with a de Z Admiral Beatty stroyer flotilla, sighted four German battle cruisers and several light cruisers and destroyers steaming westward. The Germans put about, pursued by the British, and a battle began at 9:30 a.m. The British cruisers Lion, Princess Royal, New Zealand and Indomitable engaged the German battle cruisers Derfflinger Seydlitz, Moltke and Blucher, in a hotly contested running fight. The Blucher fell out of line, and sank about 1 o'clock. Admiral Beatty reported two other German cruisers were seriously damaged before they reached an area where German submarines and mines prevented further pursuit. "One hundred and twenty-three survivors of the Blucher were rescued out of a crew of 885. It is possible that some others were picked up by destroyers. "No British ships were lost and only light casualties were reported in the British fleet. "The light cruisers and destroyers apparently engaged in the battle, but this was not mentioned in the report. "The German cruisers, when sighted, were steering westward and apparently making for the English coast, but the enemy at once made for home at high speed. "The Lion which led the line of pursuing British cruisers, reported only eleven wounded and no killed on her personnel." A real guarantee on roofing!

There is reason to believe that there is a close connection between many forms of skin trouble and the diet. One significant thing is the singular stubbornness of many skin disorders and their mysterious tendency to recur even when the physician continues the form of treatment that at first seemed to act as a cure. Among these rebellious skin troubles are acne, eczema, psoriasis and urticaria. All four diseases are likely to respond to treatment at first, but too often they return obstinately, as a stream of water returns when it has been swept back by a broom. That common characteristic has set the physicians searching for some common underlying cause. As a result of their investigations it is generally believed that there is a direct relation between the metabolism—that is to say, the chemical changes by which food is transformed into body tissue—and the condition of the skin. But although we accept it as a fact that many kinds of skin trouble are dependent on the diet, it is still necessary to experiment with each case until we have found the particular diet that is best for it. After that has been accomplished there is constant need for the patient to exercise all the self-control he possesses, for these obstinate skin disorders cannot be cured in a few days or even a few weeks. A regulated diet does not mean simply going without this or adding that article of food. One leading dermatologist has defined it as "such a regulation of the quantity and quality of food and drink, its mode of preparation, and the time and method of its consumption as shall conduce to the restoration and maintenance of the health of the body, including the skin." The patient, therefore, must co-operate faithfully with his physician or the cure will fall.—Youth's Companion. When a designing woman gets a fellow by the neck he is generally the last one to awaken to the fact. Of course there is plenty of room at the top. Everybody wants to get in on the ground floor. THREE REASONS A Boston woman who is a fond mother writes an amusing article about her experience feeding her boys. Among other things she says: "Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob, Jack, and Dick, respectively, are three of our reasons for using and recommending the food, Grape-Nuts, for these youngsters have been fed on Grape-Nuts since infancy, and often between meals when other children would have been given candy. "I gave a package of Grape-Nuts to a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was a weazened little thing, ill half the time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and cream greedily and the mother continued the good work, and it was not long before a truly wonderful change manifested itself in the child's face and body. The results were remarkable, even for Grape-Nuts. "Both husband and I use Grape Nuts every day and keep strong and well and have three of the finest, healthiest boys you can find in a day's march." Many mothers instead of destroying the children's stomachs with candy and cake give the youngsters a handful of Grape-Nuts when they are begging for something in the way of sweets. The result is soon shown in greatly increased health, strength and mental activity. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look in pkgs, for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville."

It was a mistake on the part of the police, and James was indignant. Quivering with rage he denied that he had ever, on this or any other occasion, shot a bird out of season or belonging to someone else. "Oh, I say now!" protested the magistrate. "Do you mean to tell me you have never in your whole life poached a bird?" "Yes, I do, sir!" answered James with conviction. "Never in my life have I shot a bird that I hadn't a right to—never, except once, and that was a rabbit what I clumped over the head with a stick!" GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to Bring Back Color, Gloss, Thickness. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of the famous old recipe for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time, by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy.—Adv.
