Luther Harrison, member of the house of representatives from Seminole county, which was delivered recently in the house during the discussion of a proposed resolution memorializing the U. S. congress to pass the ship purchase bill. Mr. Harrison is well versed in the political entruge which enshrows the majority of the members of the legislature having acquired most of his knowledge by direct contact. During the session of the legislature two years ago, he was reading clerk in the house of representatives, and had many friends among both members and employees of the house. He is also well versed in letters and has a wonderful power of delivery. The speech which has attracted so much attention because of its truth, sarcastic humor, ridicule and logic follows: "Some weeks ago we appropriated thousands of dollars for the capture of bank robbers, 'dead or alive'—with the emphasis n the 'dead.' Then we brought in a bill abolishing capital punishment in Oklahoma. If this latter bill is adopted, the only way to commit murder legally is to commit murder for pay. Our record on this issue reminds us of the humorist's description of the California trail: "The windings in and the windings out Left one's mind in serious doubt Whether the man who planned this route Was going to Hell or coming out." "But in spite of the brazen assertion of Puritans that we should be consistent, let us proceed to the pleasant task of instructing the American senate, that cannot possibly avoid obedience. Although the president cannot control the senate, we must remember that President Wilson is not the Oklahoma legislature—where he falls we will not doubt succeed days of Nero. "Mr Speaker: If the house will pardon my pleasant drawl, I will lend emphatic endorsement to this sapient resolution. I really fear the American senate will fail to pass the ship purchase bill unless this house take some directive action. In my humble judgment, it is high time we have notice on the world, and all the inhabitants thereof, that we rae not only able to manage our own business, but also able to manage the business of everybody else. "If we need any justification for adopting this resolution, we can surely find it in the record we have written in days gone by. On other measures of similar grave consequences, we have not hesitated to take affirmative action, although our action involved the necessity of making large and luminous spectacles of ourselves. We did not hesitate to exclude the Tulsa Star from this exclusive hall—we did it in order to preserve the unities and destinies of our glorious Anglo-Saxon race from the terrific onslaught of a negroid pica-plant at Tulsa. "This resolution is of equal importance with the bill now pending providing treatment at state expense for diseased bumble bees. It is of kindred character to that matchless piece of statesmanship now illuminating our calendar and levying a tax on canines—the amount of the levy depending on the gender o the canine. "Gentlemen: We must not hesitate in this crisis—we did not hesitate when confronted a few days since by the palmistry bill. When advised that certain frisky females were charging toll for holding hands, we rose to the supreme measure of our statesmanship and declared to the world that such pusillanimous practices must immediately cease and that the pleasant pastime of holding in Oklahoma must be henceforth and forever free. "We must be brave, even if we are inconsistent. We have never paid over much attention to the virtue of consistency. Invoking the shade of every patron salt, we decentralized power by re-establishing school district treasurers throughout Oklahoma, and straightway through the medium of a so-called conservation measure, we conferred upon the corporation commission, power unsurpassed since the --- Vol. 3.

The Tulsa circulator of The Lantern a fraternal paper published at Muskogee was hot in the collar last Monday morning when he was hailed and asked for a copy of his paper. "No," he said, "I haven't a single copy. The damn things weren't fit to circulate, so I sent them back." Judging from the remarks made by a subscriber to this paper, who says he subscribed only because he is a member of the U. B. F.s, the circulator like the subscribed, was disgusted with its general appearance, and make up. "They can't beat the Star" said the subscribed to The Lantern, and they can't.

The meeting has closed and many new faces are in the corners of the Mt. Zion Baptist church. Among the new faces is Bro. John Stradford, the reporter of the Tulsa Star, and many other new faces. Bro. Stradford is a coming young man in the field of Christian religion. He was king of the boys, in vice and pool playing. He now joins in the sing of sweet accord, and thus around the throne. Our meeting was felt far and near. He who by the plow would thrive, must either hold or drive. The meeting closed with 149 added and $489.60 collected. The church met and voted the pastor a 30 days' vacation, he and the baby, Miss Helen, will leave March 9 for the Pacific coast. We must say that our pastor, Rev. Whitaker, is a hard and earnest worker. He has played his part; has ever kept his eye open for the up-building of the church. We pray for him as he and Helen sojourn in the west. Four more were baptised last Sunday and nine more to be. So you see we are still moving on. The banquet was simply fine. Many sick ones in our ranks: Bro. and Sister Smith, Bro. Durden, Sister Cora Smith, the Bible agent, Mrs. P. A. Folwell the Pres. of the B. Y. P. J., and Mrs. Williams, Meiton, Stovele, Holderness and Mrs. Williams all members of the Mt.

Many Negroes Had Been Driven From Their Homes Hickman, Ky., Feb. 22.—Thirteen white men charged with being members of a night riding band which has terrorized negroes in this vicinity were sent to jail here late today after completionⁿ of their preliminary hearings. All were held under $500 bond, which none could supply. The activities of the night riders threaten to deprive the plantations of ali negro labor. Between Hickman and Tiptonville many negroes have been driven from the farms after notices had been posted warning them to leave the country, and a number of cabins were riddled with bullets. Visits Uncle After 20 Years Mrs. Lizzie Davis of Pine Bluff, Ark is here visiting her uncle Mr. Benj. Lofton at 29 N. Cheyenne, who she has not seen since he left their old home in Mississippi about 20 years ago. She is expecting to return home Wednesday. Mr. Lofton is one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Tulsa. Williams Paid Off Old Debt Williams Paid Off Old Debt J. W. Williams, proprietor of the East End Garage, and the Dreamland Theatre, had to cough up $90 last Tuesday according to reports, in order to further hold a car which he had bought some time ago and for which he had paid all but said $90. It appears that the original owner of the car could not persuade Williams to finish paying the contracted debt, and finally sued for the amount. A default judgment was rendered against the garage man, but still Williams would not come across. The officers visited him Tuesday and it is said he at first defied them. However, he finally paid the $90 and kept the car. New Editor For The Star Little Fellow Arrives Monday Noon If the paper is not up to the standard this week, if the news items r ad you sent in does not appear, do not blame the editor, because he is altogether irresponsible for anything and everything pertaining to the paper this week, his interest and attention being centered at home, where last Monday at high noon he had the pleasure of listening to the greatest George Washington oration he had ever heard, delivered in a lofty strain of infantile elquence, punctuated with vehement gestures, which positively entranced the editor and incapacitated him for any business this week. Dr. L. H. Johnston of Coweta, a friend of the editor's was the attending physician, has already predicted a brilliant future for the boy. The mother and babe are both getting along nicely. The Philips Rooms There is a number of rooming houses in the East End and all of them seem to be doing a thriving business. But perhaps the quietest and most desirable rooming house in the heart of the business district is that of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Phillips $115\frac{1}{2}$ N. Greenwood. This place was formerly conducted by Mrs. Lewis under the name of the Elite Rooms. Recently, however, Mr. and Mrs. Phillips decided to take charge of the place and a general renovation resulted. Now it is known as the Phillips rooms. Everything is scrumptiously clean there and nothing indecent is tolerated. No unmarried women are permitted to stay in the Phillips Rooms.

Subscription $1.00 Per Year Ninty Days For Threatening Ninty Days For Threatening ROBERT JACE SENTENCED TO 90 DAYS IN JAIL WHEN CONVICTED OF VAGRANCY. Robert Jace, 24 year old Negro hotel porter, was fined $100 and sentenced to ninety days in jail in police court Wednesday morning on a charge of vagrancy. It is very probable that he will be made to serve the entire time. Jace's wife and mother-in-law, Mrs. Perry, of Boley, Okla., were present at the trial and testified as to his actions of the past which, according to the ordinance covering the vagrancy question, made him a vagabond beyond a question of a doubt. Jace has been kept in the city jail for a week pending an investigation by federal authorities relative to a threatening letter sent through the mail by him to his wife. The girl's mother testified in court that he has threatened bth their lives since she took her daughter from him because he wouldn't support her in the manner in which he should. Chief of Detectives Patton enlightened the court considerably with reference to the past record of Jace, telling the particulars of his arrest and confession for the theft of a valuable cornet while a porter at the Brady Hotel last fall and for which he was fined heavily in the justice court and sentenced to thirty days in the county jail. His wife, said to be half white, said that she was through with him for all time to come, while his mother-in-law said she had come to his rescue for the last time. "He has cost me more than $500 since his marriage to my daughter and I cannot stand it any longer. He is worthless as he can be and spends his time and money around gambling resorts and other places where crime breeds," said Mrs. Perry to the court. Jace himself is part white. He cried aloud when the sentence was passed on him and said that it was a "put up job" to get rid of him.

Phone 3337 TULSA, OKLA TULSA, OKLA AFRO-AMERICAN CULL AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS One of the very important phases of the work of the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth is a summer school, held for the rural school teachers during July of each year. To this come about a hundred teachers from the rural districts, men and women, who are heart and soul in the work. Some of these teachers are well trained and competent, but the greater number are wholly unfit to teach. Many have had no training above fifth grade, and often can only read and write with great difficulty. During the winter of teaching, they often have to travel many miles to their school houses, which are usually meager dilapidated frame buildings, neither wind nor rain-proof, where they are compelled to teach all grades and ages in one room. For this they receive pitifully small salaries, and if they want to add any special work over the regular curriculum, the pennies of the children, with a share of their own small income, are forced to meet the added expense. They must find enough inspiration during this one short month at the summer school to carry them through their trying winter. The state of Virginia contributes to the work. Besides this summer school, there is held for these rural teachers of northern Virginia, a Teachers' institute during the Christmas holidays, where all questions relating to school life and work are discussed by prominent speakers, as well as general discussions on subjects of school hygiene and teaching methods. There is no doubt that the work accomplished by the school, both in its training of the children and in the broader field of its community work, is of vital importance to the people of northern Virginia—not alone to the colored man, but to the white man as well. That the white man fully realizes this can be judged by the fact that the mayor of Manassas says that the colored community all love and work for the school, and forget to get drunk and get into jail. One mayor told a friend of the school, some years ago, that he attributed his empty jail to the influence of the Manassas Industrial school. The great financial stress confronting this country on account of the European war, and the diverting into foreign channels of much of the support which in ordinary years goes to our own philanthropies, has forced Manassas, as well as other schools of this type, into a very difficult position. The vitality of this work is too strong to let it die, but if the struggle for existence becomes too great, the work must suffer. There is danger of the crippling of one of our most valuable institutions, which has only gained power for good through years of untiring effort and sacrifice. White citizens of South Carolina have contributed $10,000 for a hospital for Negroes, to be erected at Columbia. There are 75,000 colored people in the state who are without hospitals where they can go for treatment, as the hospitals for white people do not admit them. In Kansas 17 per cent of the women are married, 14 per cent separated, divorced or widowed, and 69 per cent are unmarried girls. Fifty-four women have received medals and rewards for heroism from the Carnegie Hero Fund commission during the past ten years. Although the most intelligent leaders of the race are proud of the folklore songs as the rhythmic cry of the slave, there are those who feel ashamed of them because they hark back to the days of ignorance, superstition and childlike trust. Doctor Du-Boils says of them: "They are the music of unhappy people, of the children of disappointment, they tell of the death and sufferings and unvoiced longings toward a truer world of misty wanderings and hidden ways. They are the most beautiful expression of human experience born this side of the seas." Special emphasis is placed on these songs in all the southern colored schools, especially in Tuskegee, Hampton, Spellman and Fiske university, to which the Negro folk-lore will always be indebted for its revival. The Fiske jubilee singers sang the slave songs so deeply into the hearts of a half-credulous world that it can never wholly forget them again. Fifty St. Louis women have formed a league with the object of cleaning up that city of rats. Dead and diseased wood in the orchard should be removed and burned as soon as possible. The Nebraska College of Agriculture finds that if the orchard is kept clean of such refuse the problems of insect and fungus control are much easier. Sheep Withstand Cold. In housing sheep, it should be remembered that they suffer less from low temperature than any other class of live stock on the farm. AN CULLINGS The New Jersey state board of education decided that the Bordentown Industrial School for Colored Youths shall be made an industrial institution in fact and not merely a school for the academic training of Negro residents of the state. Contemporaneously with this decision the board accepted the resignations of James M. Gregory, principal of the New Jersey school; Mrs. Gregory, the matron, or preceptress, and J. Francis Gregory, teacher of English. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory had been associated with the school for 18 years, or practically since its inception Both admitted that, although they had been trained to teach academic branches they did not feel equipped to care for the needs of a purely agricultural and mechanical arts school. Attempts to choose a successor to Principal Gregory precipitated a wrangle in the board and the matter was laid over for a month. The committee on the Bordentown school recommended the selection of William R. Valentine, a Negro educator of Indianapolis, who was graduated from Harvard in 1904. He is now a supervising principal, having charge of a number of schools, and for three years has been vice-president of the National Education Association for Colored Teachers. Former Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen and John P. Murray thought that more than one name should be presented for consideration. He also advocated making the selection from Tuskegee institute with a view of bringing the Bordentown school into closer touch with Booker T. Washington and his associate educators. The committee was disposed to resent the comment of the objecting members as a reflection upon its judgment. The Bordentown school, as recently brought to public attention, has been an object of serious criticism for its seeming failure to accomplish the aims for which it was established. In short the industrial features, including agriculture and the mechanical arts, were subordinated to the teaching of academic subjects. The situation is to be exactly reversed, according to the plans for the future outlined by the state board. Never to have had instruction in art and yet ability to paint well enough to have a picture hung at the Charcoal club's exhibit in the Peabody institute at Baltimore, is the fortune of Ernest Atkinson, a Negro porter. "It must be natural instinct," said Atkinson, "for I never had any instruction and never saw an artist work. I just studied other paintings, and what I observed in other paintings I applied to my own work." Atkinson is twenty-eight years old and was born in Kingston, Jamaica, where he lived until eight years ago. He then took to the sea and it is to his memory of those years that enabled him to reproduce his present work. His work is an ocean scene, showing the waves breaking against the shore and two boats in the background, one beating against the wind and the other running before it. His talent was first discovered by Charles H. Webb, an instructor in the Maryland institute, when he was asked to criticize one of Atkinson's paintings. Mr. Webb was astonished at the skill shown, and suggested that it be submitted to the Charcoal club's exhibition. It was submitted without any name on it, and was one of the 82 selected out of the 210 offered. Talk of cutting down next year's cotton acreage in the South—which may be an economic necessity—comes largely from white planters. What the mass of poor Negro tenant farmers will do is a distressing problem, as Booker T. Washington has said. They have never been taught to plant any crop but cotton, and the system under which they borrow money in the spring to carry them and their families until the harvest is based on cotton growing exclusively. If many of them cannot plant cotton in the coming year they will be idle and plung-d into the deepest poverty. The North now has its une-ployed; the South may have a horde of Negroes to look after before the end of 1915.—Springfield Republican. Mrs. Mary S.

Creamed Oysters —Carefully handle each oyster to remove all shells, put in a colander and rinse in cold water, drain the liquid from the oysters and strain it, adding it to the oysters. Make a rich white sauce of three tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter, cooked together when the butter is bubbling hot, then add one and a half cupfuls of rich milk, a half teaspoonful of salt and a few dashes of celery salt and red pepper. Cook a pint of oysters in boiling water and the liquor until plump and the edges curl, pour into the white sauce and serve with buttered toast. Fish Hash.—Take equal parts of cold flaked fish and cold boiled potatoes chopped fine. Season with salt and pepper. Put butter in a saucepan, and when melted add the fish and potatoes, stir until well warmed, then let brown underneath. Turn as an omelet.

Too little drinking of fresh, pure water is the cause of much physical disturbance. Overeating and little drinking of water is parts of the body, we are taught. Too little drinking of fresh, pure water is the cause of much physical disturbance. Overeating and little drinking of water is said to be our greatest American failing in dietetics. Water should not be iced, but cool enough to be palatable, either summer or winter, and the amount each individual should take depends largely on the food eaten. If one eats largely of fruit, less water is needed, and if one drinks much milk, less is required, but even the very young baby should be given frequent drinks of cold water. As children must suffer with their teeth, when the little gums are inflamed and swollen, a drink of cool water will give much relief. The acids in fruits play an important office in destroying those germs which create gases and cause autoin-toxication. Fruit juices act on the kidneys and quench thirst. At the same time they are a natural laxative. A juicy, good flavored apple is better than medicine, and should be eaten many times a day. Scraped apple may be given to young children. The reason that fruit is best eaten either early or late in the day is that the stomach is empty and thus the digestive juices have free access to the fruit juices, stimulating them to action. To keep in good condition, drink freely of water before retiring, as this flushes the system. The first thing in the morning rinse the stomach with a good tonic of cold fresh water a half hour at least before eating. Though fruit contains little nutrition, it has a large amount of cellulose which adds bulk to the food and stimulates the activity of the juices on the digestive tract, thus aiding digestion. APPLE, THE QUEEN OF FRUITS. Eaten from the hand unpeeled the apple is indeed the queen of fruits, and those who indulge often in the wholesome fruit find it as good as a tonic. 3 Apple Cream Pudding. —Slice a dish for baking full of apples and pour over it the following batter: Take a pint of sour cream, add a teaspoonful of soda, and when it is dissolved beat in one or two cups of flour, enough to make a thin batter, add salt and pour over the apples. Bake until brown. If the apples are not tart enough add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve with sugar and cream or with a hard sauce. Apple and Almonds.—Core then pare nice, well-flavored apples, which will cook well without losing their shape. Cook in a thin sirup until nearly tender and fill with almonds which have been blanched and cut in quarters. Put the almonds sharp end first into the apples until they look like little porcupines. Dust with powdered sugar and place them in the sirup in a baking pan in the oven to brown. When the almonds are brown and the apples well cooked remove, cool and serve with whipped cream and sugar. The attractiveness of this method must be tried to be appreciated.. Apple Gelatin...Pare, core and quarter six tart apples, add the yellow rind of half a lemon, cover with a pint of cider, boll and press through a sieve. Cover a half-box of gelatin with half a cupful of cold water and when softened add the juice of one lemon and mix all together. When molded serve with cider sauce or cream and sugar. Grape juice may be used in place of cider when it is not obtainable or any canned fruit juice may be used. Apple Filling for Cake.—Grate one or two good, juicy, well-flavored apples, add a cupful of sugar and the whites of one or two eggs, depending upon the amount of apple pulp. Beat until light and firm, then put between layers of cake and on top. This filling may be flavored with a drop of almond and two or three of lemon extract. Cake filled with this mixture keeps moist for days and is good to the last piece. A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of SKIRTS OF ALL KINDS WIDE VARIETY IN OFFERINGS OF THE SEASON. "Skimpiness" Is No Longer the Fashionable Effect—Illustration Gives Idea of Just What the New Styles Are Like. Among the novel tendencies which appear in the choice of styles offered to the smart woman are an extensive variety of skirts, or, to be more explicit, an extensive variety of full skirts. They will continue to put a note of fantasy in the toilets. The plain ones are either circular, kilted, or shirred, while others show a succession of short ruffles, plaited, gathered, scalloped or plain, in materials that match or do not match the dress. Then, too, there is a craze for the full tunic attached to a hip yoke. The silhouette is entirely transformed from that of last year, which gave an undeniable appearance of skimpiness. This marked change is comprehensively expressed in the illustrated suit design. It is carried out in bisque-colored ratine with touches of light fur and black trimmings. The jacket is especially modish, with its short-waisted top and flaring hi-length skirt portion applied under a covered cord. The fastening is novel. A center panel across the front forms a sort of square bib, trimmed with a close row of black ball buttons on either edge. Only one edge is really used for the opening. The open space below discloses a generous glimpse of the very wide, THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Several Novel Features Are Exploited Here.

Oddly cut sleeves with close-fitting undersleeves add another note of the unusual. The skirt is in two sections; the deep circular yoke, and the gathered lower part, joined a trifle below hip line under a covered cord finish. BABY COIFFURE IS POPULAR New Style of Hairdressing, Popular in New York, Makes Women Look Younger. The newest thing in belfry decorations is called the baby coiffure. This style has suddenly hit the night life district and New York is "doing it hard" in its New Yorkiest way. And no wonder. It makes women look from five to ten years younger. In fact, everybody is back in the chicken class. To get the effect the gorgeous tresses are reduced to a frizzy fringe around the ears, a bandeau is worn to hold it in place. It looks like a Buster Brown hair cut, but is called coiffure de la bebe. Here's the way to fix the hair so it looks cut off but isn't: First you divide it over the temples straight across the head, half way back. You pin this together in front to keep it out of the way while you fix the rest of it. A little hair on each side you puff out over the ears and then pin the ends to a tight little "foundation knot" in the crook of the neck at the back. Then you comb that front hair straight back and instead of twirling it up you twirl it under and fasten it to your "foundation." Then you fasten your bandeau—and there you are. There are new block printed crepe de chines with tiny reproductions of the dainty patterns of English chintzes.

Creamed Oysters —Carefully handle each oyster to re move all shells, put in a colander and Apple and Banana Salad.—Scoop out two apple balls from peeled apples, using a French vegetable cutter and prepare banana balls in the same way, cover both with a generous sprinkling of lemon juice to keep them from discoloring, and serve on lettuce leaves with French dressing. Asparagus Salad.—Place a cupful of canned asparagus tips on lettuce leaves. Cover with thin slices of red and green peppers and serve with well chilled French dressing. Macaroona.—Beat the whites of four eggs until stiff, add a cupful of sugar, one cupful of cocoanut and one of nutmeats, then three cupfuls of corn flakes, stir until well mixed and drop by spoonfuls on a buttered sheet.

If the cheese is quite moist in the balls the mixture will stick and make a most attractive dish. GOLFING Cream of Beets.—To a quart of milk add one onion, a sprig of celery (both cut up), and heat, strain over two tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter which has been cooked together. Cook until smooth. Beat until thick and add one cupful of cooked beets cut in small cubes. Celery mixed with potato when creaming potato adds to the dish. Both should be cooked until tender.

Sash of Black Silk With Frogs. RED TOP COATS FOR GIRLS Few More Durable or Becoming Garments Have Been Produced This Season. A number of smart top coats in vivid rust have been noted on girls of the school set. These are necessarily quite severe in cut, usually with a belt to correspond and large buttons down the front. Bands of fur around the neck and sleeves are sometimes found. On the girls under twelve or thirteen these coats usually reach to the bottom of the dress, but they may be of three-quarter length. A jaunty little hat with a red crown or a red wing is the natural accompaniment to such a coat. Vivid colors are being used a great deal for young children this year, especially in the little angora or knitted sweater suit, which seems to be indispensable to the outfit of all the youngsters under seven. Hunter's green, bright blue and a brilliant rose red seem to be most in favor, but there are also plenty of fawn and brown to be found when the child has rosy enough cheeks to look well in more somber tones. Cap, leggings, mitts and sweater to correspond make the children look like little goblins and not only are they snug and quaint, but they are fine for sledding, wear under raincoats in bad weather, under top coats in extreme cold and for open-air school use they have proved excellent.

N BATTLE OF MAZURIAN LAKES Premier Asquith, in Speech to the Commons, Promises Dire Revenge for the Submarine Blockade. London.—More than 100,000 Russians, including seven generals, and 150 pieces of cannon have been captured by the German in the Mazurian Lakes district of East Prussia, according to an official statement issued by the Berlin war office. "During the clearing up of the operations to the northwest of Grono," says the statement, "in the battles reported during the last few days in the Bobr and Navew district, one commanding general and four other generals and approximately 40,000 men have been taken prisoners up to the present. Seventy-five cannon and some machine guns, the actual number of which has not yet been ascertained, and other war materials have been captured. The wasp of modern warfare, the submarine, by means of which Germany has declared she will blockade the British Isles, daily becomes a factor of more and more importance in the great war of Europe with respect to its influence on the policies of the nations engaged in connection with the contraband question, so vital to neutral states. Almost coincident with the unofficial reports that Austria proposes to follow the example of her ally by making war on merchant ships in the Adriatic came the announcement by Premier Asquith in the British house of commons that much discussed retaliatory plan of Great Britain, though still tentative, was much broader in scope than had been previously suggested; in that it was a matter for the consideration of all the allies and that a joint note concerning it might be expected from the allies. The statement was likewise made in the house of commons that the British government might deem it necessary to alter its decision whereby cotton up to the present has not been classed as contraband. TAFT STANDS BY THE PRESIDENT Says Loyal Americans Must Back Up the Administration. Morristown, N. J.-The United States is threatened with a serious invasion of its rights as a neutral by the warring nations of Europe and in pre "When the President shall act," Mr. Taft declared, "we must stand by him to the end. In this determination we may be sure that all will join, no matter what their previous views, no matter what their European origin. All will forget their differences in common loyalty to our country." serving its commerce with those nations is face-to-face with a crisis, is the opinion of former President William H. Taft. In the solution of that crisis, should it arise, no jingo spirit must be allowed to prevail, Mr. Taft advised. Neither pride nor momentary passion should influence our judgment. CONGRESS RUSHING ITS LABORS In An Effort to Wind Up and Quit on March 4. Washington. — Appropriations for national defense occupied the attention of both houses of congress in the general rush to clear up the supply bills for the government before adjournment. The senate discussed the army appropriation bill, carrying approximately $103,000,000, while the house continued debate on the fortifications bill. While progress was being made on both these measures the senate committee practically completed consideration of the naval appropriations measure and the senate paused for four minutes to pass without debate the pension bill carrying $164,000,000. Increases for submarines and aviation over provisions of the house bill are proposed by the senate naval committee, its amendments including $1,000,000 for aviation, instead of $300,000 as authorized in the house bill, provision for six seagoing submarines instead of one, and sixteen instead of eleven of the smaller type submarines. Senator Smoot sought unsuccessfully to provide for fifty-seagoing and twenty-five smaller coast defense submarines. Notwithstanding the progress being made on appropriations in the senate there are indications that not all the bills could be passed even though no attempts were made to renew the ship purchase bill fight. Several democratic senators said they feared it might be necessary to adopt some emergency resolutions in the closing hours of the session.

MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS THEN YOUR BACK HURTS Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys if Bladder Bothers You—Drink Lots of Water. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days 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 flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.—Adv.

Whatever the southern white man has done for the Negro (and we admit he has done much) he has only repaid a very small part of what the Negro has done for him. Emancipation should be celebrated, if celebrated at all, for all that it means to the Negro's freedom in this country. If the Negroes made any mistake during reconstruction under the leadership of the "Carpet Baggers" as this new leader claims, the "Carpet Baggers" and not the Negroes were at fault, and if the southern white man knew and loved the Negro so well he made the greatest mistake when he turned against the former slavesman because the latter under the blinding light of new conditions bowed to the Gods set up before him by white men.

LIKE WATCHING GREAT MOVING PICTURE DRAMA Count de Beaufort Describes Trip Along the Battle Line in West Flanders. HIGH PRAISE FOR BELGIANS Courteous and Hospitalable and Will Do Anything for the English—Comfort in the Trenches—Germans Reply in Kind to Belgian Fire. By COUNT M. DE BEAUFORT. Belgium.—A Belgian officer returning with his men from a week in the trenches along the Yser was asked by one of his colleagues, whom he met on the road from Nieuport to Furnes, how things were going in front. "Oh," he replied, "all right, but it isn't exactly a picnic, you know." That is exactly the answer I felt like giving today when I returned from a few days' gypsying in West Flanders. It is difficult to know where to start in relating my impressions. It seems as if for four days I have sat in a huge moving picture theater and watched one film after another being reeled off, at the same time listening to an extremely eloquent lecturer. How and why I was able to wander from village to trench, and from trench to village, or whatever is left of them, is a story which, perhaps with many others, will be told later—after the war. They are a courteous, open hearted, hospitable lot, these Belgians, and anybody who seems to be English, either in appearance or accent, can have anything they own. "Ah, England." I hear from all sides, "why they have certainly stood by us. Les Anglais sons, chie" ("chie" in this sense of the word refers to character, not to appearance). The most interesting place in the line along the Yser these days has been the village of Styuvekenskerke. It lies on the left bank of the Yser. The main road from Dixmude to Peryse runs about half a mile to the west of it, and the railroad about another half mile farther. Both lines are held by the Belgians. On Tuesday morning some of our advanced patrols ventured close to the village, and not seeing any life there, went in. The Germans had retired to the other side of the river. Promptly the village was "retaken" by the Belgians. But of what use is a practically razed village anyhow? It would have taken a great number of extra men to guard it at night against surprise attacks, so the officer in charge retired at sunset into his own lines along the railroad. On Wednesday morning the Germans were occupying the village again for the day, but this afternoon the Belgians might have had their tea there but for the sudden interruption of business of the only patisserie. The English sign, "Tea served at all hours," was still intact. We took it down, and now it is heading the entrance to one of the sleeping trenches a mile back. At certain points around this village the advance lines are not further than 1,200 feet from each other, and I have seen soldiers on both sides walk about unconcerned without a shot being fired on either side. But in the distance, one hears from time to time the roar of the guns. My wanderings landed me near a lonely Pelgian field gun, one of the "75's," in the neighborhood of Pervyse. I knew the officer in charge, and was promptly invited to stay, and take pot luck, an invitation which, needless to say, I accepted. Somehow one seems to be always hungry, yet one eats more and oftener than at any other time. His underground dwelling had been made quite habitable. He insisted that I should take the "fauteuil" in the shape of the only sophan present while he balanced himself on a one-legged piano stool. Our meal was simple enough, but plentiful. Dry biscuits, sardines, apples and cold coffee. Fires of any sort, either inside or outside, are strictly forbidden in the lines. A smoking chimney is asking for shrapnel. Quite an amusing incident took place here. The leutenant told me during lunchon that every time he fired a shot, the Germans answered him in kind; if he sent a shrapnel, they promptly sent a shrapnel back; when he fired a shell, a shell whistled back. After luncheon he illustrated his story, and indeed the Germans seemed to be in a joking mood. He fired a shrapnel and a shell in turn; a few minutes later a shrapnel and a shell whistled back over our heads. I asked for the commandant, and expected to find him also in one of the underground dwellings, but I was directed to one of the houses on the outskirts of the village. "His offices there?" I asked, looking at the remains of what had been a little villa. "Certainly, monsieur. Follow me," said the little soldier. Rulna Everywhere. On all sides we were surrounded by blackened bricks and burnt wood, fallen walls, and broken furniture. Finally, we arrived near a cellar door and the mystery was soon solved The commandant met me with all the core- mony and welcomed me as if he had been in the library of his house in Brussels. "I am sorry," he said in excellent English, "to have to receive you in this improvised flat, but 'c'est la guerre.'" And the cellar offered certainly a curious picture. Fourteen soldiers sat around a makeshift table, at the head of which—on a barrel—our officer had presided. We had evidently interrupted a meal. An iron bedstead, with planks and a few bunches of straw, took up one corner; a tier of knapsacks and some more straw, lined the opposite wall. An old-fashioned gramophone rescued from the ruins, formed a conspicuous piece of furniture, but the records had been smashed. Still, one gets inventive when time is long and tedious—and it has been very slow around here these last days—so some of the records were pasted together on a piece of cardboard, and with the assistance of a helping finger, bridging over the gaps and rents, the old machine managed to give "Carmen," "La Boheme," and some popular French airs. The first opportunity I have I shall send them much-needed records and needles, so that in future the inhabitants may have some decent music with their meals. The food consisted of cold beef, brown bread and water, the color of which did not look appetizing at all. One of the soldiers noticed me glancing +- the water bottle, and he remarked, especially for the benefit of the younger men, "Oh, it's all right, this 'Eau de l'Yser', there may be a dead German or two in it, but that adds a sting to it, as they say in the States." The cellar was lit by an improvised little torch in a bottle, and the men around the table with their two weeks' growth of 'beard looked like pirates.

CALLS FOR WAR ON THE WAR Carl Liebknecht, German Socialist Sends Plea to British Sympathizers. London.—Carl Liebknecht, the Socialist member of the German relchstag who attracted considerable attention to himself by being the only member of the relchstag who voted against a new war credit, has sent a message to British socialists, in which he calls upon the workers of the world to unite in a war against the war. Mr. Liebknecht declares that the masses everywhere loathe this war and he says that among German workers there is a much greater degree of opposition to it than generally has been supposed. PETROGRAD FOLK ARE SOBER Lack of Arrests on Holidays Attributed to Ban on Sale of Liquors.

New York.—Joseph Cyrus was sentenced to dance the tango with his wife by the magistrate when he was arraigned for kicking her. The trouble arose because Mrs. Cyrus could tango and Cyrus can't, she explained. "A woman's best lover is her husband. You go out and learn to tango right," said the judge to Cyrus.

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 Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv. She Went.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf. There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of its lus'er, its strength and its very life; eventually producing a feverishness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink loosen and die—then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight—now—any time—will surely save your hair. 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. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appearance of abundance; an incomparable gloss and softness, but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks' use, when you will actually see a lot of fine, downy hair—new hair—growing all over the scalp.

The late celebrated Peter Vinegar, who in days bone by used to make periodical visits to Danville, says the Advocate, for the purpose of delivering his sermons, remarkable on account of their startling texts, on one occasion spoke to a large assemblage of the colored population and a few whites at the old colored Methodist church on Walnut street. He arose, raised his spectacles from his eyes, and said: "My beloved brederen and sisteren, I take my tex' dis evenin' in dat portion uv de Scriptur' whar de 'Postle Paul plints his pistol at de Phelsans, an' whar it says, 'Whar de hen scratches dar's de worm, 'ceptin' de case whar sum previens he hav bin dar.' He then proceeded to tell his hearers what a horrible personal appearance the devil presented, with the following description: "His eyes look like two balls uv fire, his teef like two skinned saplins, his ears hang down like a 'baccer leaf an' his brief smoke like a tar kittle." That night Peter made many converts. IMPORTANT THAT PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY. The testimonial I am to give you comes unsolicited. I have been suffering from lumbago for ten years and at times was unable to stand erect. A Mr. Dean of this city, saw me in my condition (bent over) and inquired the cause. I told him that I had the lumbago. He replied, "If you get what I tell you to, you need not have it." I said I would take anything for ease. He said, "You get two bottles of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and take it, and if it does not fix you O. K. I will pay for the medicine myself." I did so and am a well man. For five months I have been as well as could be. Before I took your Swamp-Root was in constant pain day and night. This may look like advertising, but it seems to me most important that the public should be made familiar with this treatment as it is the only one I know which is an absolute cure. I owe a great deal to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and am anxious that others situated as I was should know and take advantage of it. Hoping that this testimonial may be of benefit to some one. I am. J.

SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 28 SAMUEL, THE VICTORIOUS LEADER. LESSON TEXT I- Samuel 7:3-17. GOLDEN TEXT I-Hitherto bath Jehoshah helped me.-I Samuel 7:12 R. V. Having prepared a "guilt offering," 6:4-9, the Philistines started the ark back towards Shiloh. As a punishment for their sacrilege and perhaps for their boastful pride, God punishes the men of Beth-Shemesh and finally the ark finds rest in the house of Abinadab, 6:10-21, 7:1, 2. For 20 years Israel was under discipline in bondage, v. 2. 1. "And Samuel spake . . . saying," vv. 3-8. It is possible that at times Samuel was a fugitive, but that he was praying, teaching and preaching "the word of Jehovah" we are assured. At last Israel was "drawn together," v. 2 R. V. margin. Undoubtedly Samuel's pure life and his faithful witnessing had as much to do with this assembling as did the oppression of the Philistines. Samuel told the people plainly that in order to be delivered from the Philistines Israel must "return unto Jehovah with all your heart." The putting away (judging) of sin and all idols is the first step of any real, genuine repentance towards God, Isa. 55:7. When Israel adopted Asharoth and the "strange gods" they possibly did so with no thought of forsaking Jehovah, but rather with the idea of "enrinching" their worship. Such liberality, such a federation of religions is weakening to the cause of faith, Matt. 6:24, I John 2:15, James. 4:4. John might be called "narrow," but his exhortation to Israel that they return to the love and worship of Jehovah, to the obedience of his laws with whole-souled devotion, the first, and the most essential requisite to their freedom. Israel's response (v. 4) meant not alone self-denial, but a revolt against the Philistines. This meant also the giving up of amusements and profits which might accompany such worship. The word "heart" includes the will, affections, motives and powers of soul Not merely a surface emotion, but a deep change of heart and character. It is sad to recall that this was a reformation, not a regeneration (ch.8:8), but such is the history of an emotional reformation. One day, how ever, we shall see that we will last last, Rom. 11:26. Samuel is a type of Christ as a prophet and also as an intercessor, Heb. 7:25. Gathering the people at Mizpah ("a lookout") he caused the people to look to God Such a gathering was an evidence of that unity of the people of God which must ever precede prevailing prayer Ps. 99:6, Heb. 10:25. The meeting began by a prayer by Samuel who was nearest to God. They than poured out water upon the ground, a symbol of their utter helplessness, also of the pouring out of their hearts before God, II Sam. 14:14, Ps. 62:8. Israel also "fasted"—an expression of sorrow for sin which was so deep that they could not eat, and a sign of the humiliation of self and an earnest desire to find God, Dan. 9:3, Acts 13:2, 3 II. "And Samuel offered . . . a burnt offering," vv. 9-12. Twenty years of bondage bred a spirit of fear in the hearts of the Israelites and in their extremity they turned to Samuel to intercede for them. Christians have a better one as their intercessor, I John 2:1; Heb. 7:25; Rom. 8:34. Israel no longer places its trust in an outward symbol as when formerly they sent for the ark, ch. 4:3. All real prayer is preceded by sacrifice, and the only ground we have upon which to approach a holy God is to shed blood, Heb. 10:19, John 14:6. This is also a type of entire consecration. The lamb of Samuel's sacrifice is a type of our Christ who entered into God's presence for us "by his own blood," Heb. 9:11, 12. Having thus properly approached God, Samuel cried for Israel, and "the Lord heard him," John 17:9. In the midst of this the Philistines gave battle (v. 10) even as Satan often makes his fiercest assaults upon us in the midst of our hollest exercises. God "thundered with a great voice," v. 11, marq, bringing discomfiture and fear to the enemy, I John 5:14. The Heart of the Lesson. This lesson is a great revelation of the power and effectiveness of intercessory prayer. "Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name," Ps. 99:6, seems to place Samuel at the head of Israel's intercessors even as Moses and Aaron led the prophet priests. Prayer for others is not only a duty, but a privilege and joy as well. Too few Christians are interceding for others. The sincere prayer for others is inevitably followed up by service for others, even as Samuel's prayer was followed by his service judging Israel. This lesson also emphasizes the need of appreciation of God's mercies. Abraham erected his altars; Jacob and Joshua erected memorial stones to recall signal blessings; Samuel calls the one he erected "Ebenezer," for "Hitherto hath Jehovah helped us."

Everyone had gathered in the drawing room after dinner, and all were feeling contented with themselves as well as at peace with the outside world, when it was suggested as a pastime that every lady should state the gift she most coveted, and the possession of which she would most prize. With prompt acquiescence each registered her choice. Mrs. Wellman wished for the most exquisite jewels extant, Mrs. King desired to be the best dressed woman in society, Mrs. Drayton preferred to own the handsomest turnouts, while Mrs. Smith craved popularity. Robinson, springing from his chair, exclaimed: "Heavens! don't any of you care for beauty?" Some of them still think it was intentional. John Sharp Williams stepped out of the senate chamber in response to the card of Bob Gates, who is a Washington correspondent of distinguished appearance and much political sapiene. Bob asked him a number of ques- Bob asked him a number of questions and then, in parting, he asked: "By the way, Senator, have you got a good cigar about you?"—putting the request under the head of unfinished business. "No, I haven't but one left—and I just now bit the end off it preparatory to lighting it," replied John Sharp. "If I'd just been a minute or two sooner—" suggested Bob. "Not exactly," said the senator. "The fact is, when I started out here I bit the end off the cigar just for fear you might ask for it." His Point of View. "What is your idea of matrimony?" asked the fair maid who was still occupying the anxious seat.

Grape-Nuts, served with milk, cream or fruit, gives satisfaction, sustaining food value, true economy, and proves itself a family friend.

A new campaign for closer co-operation with labor unions and other groups of workingmen is announced by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. A. committee has been appointed with Dr. Theodore B. Sachs, president of the Chicago Tuberculosis institute, as chairman, to formulate plans for immediate and future action. Other members of the committee are Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, Washington; George W. Perkins, secretary of the International Cigarmakers' union, Chicago; John Mitchell of the New York state compensation commission, New York; Austin B. Garretson, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors, Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Dr. William Charles White, medical director of the Tuberculosis league of Pittsburgh, and Dr. David R. Lyman, superintendent of the Gaylord Farm sanatorium, Wallingford, Conn. As the first step in the campaign a special health bulletin has been prepared for the labor papers and will be sent out monthly in co-operation with members of the International Labor Press bureau. One of the men at the front has told us how he tried to milk a cow—without the expected result. This is not an easy task for an unpracticed hand. Leslie Stephen was once on a long tramp in Switzerland, accompanied by his friend, Doctor Morgan. They missed their way and found themselves, parched and hungry, far from any dwelling place. At length they came across a cow, from whom they determined to extract some nourishment, but after trying their best for an hour, each holding on to her horns in turn, they had to abandon all hopes of milk. This, remarks Doctor Morgan, is "one of the very few occasions on which I ever saw Stephen fairly thwarted." The mother of thirteen-year-old Page has a gift for rhyming and a generous nature. The other day Page returned from school with the announcement that each member of her class was expected to turn in a poem on a certain given subject on the morrow. "Well, that's a very nice subject," replied Page's mother. "Yes, but, mother," the little girl asked, with innocent assurance, "what are you going to say about it?" "Beauty," remarked the poetic youth, "may draw us with a single hair."

SHINGLE SIDING A FEATURE Idea Has Been to Arrange Designs to Carry Out the General Architectural Effect—Lights Are Made on the Multiple Window Plan. A cobblestone trim with shingle siding gives this five room cottage house a distinguished appearance. An interesting effect is produced by giving different angles and pitches to the roof, which effect is extended out over the front steps by the level top of the pergola. It is not often that a roof is designed commencing with a level, then stepping up to square pitch. The rubble stone wall piers and chimney all help to produce an unusual front. The manner of shingling the sides of the house is different from the ordinary, but it helps to carry out the architectural effect, as intended. This manner of siding houses uses up just about as many shingles as it does to space them evenly, but it gets away from the ordinary way of laying shingles and it makes a distinction between the sides of the house and the roof. The joints are broken the same and the covering is just as thick and valuable, the only difference is in the appearance. The windows are built on the multiple window plan, but they are so arranged as to produce the casement window appearance. Because of the double sash, any window may be opened at the top or bottom in the usual way. They may be screened, curtained and shaded according to the best custom, so that the women have no objections to offer. This probably accounts for the use of so many windows built in this way. Woodworking 6659x factories make box frames any size and to contain as many windows as the plan calls for. There are weight boxes between each two windows, so the sashes are hung by sash weights in the usual way. The idea is new in house lighting. Twenty or thirty years ago the fad was to make windows narrow. Some of them were mere slits in the wall. Sometimes the wall was beveled away outside to admit slanting rays of light into the darkened rooms. But people soon tired of such dungeons, and the fashion pendulum seems to have swung clear over in the other direction and the style now demands as much light and sunshine as possible. Years ago windows were fitted with outside blinds. It was customary for the women to go around each morning and close the blinds to keep the PORCH 7-6 LUNCH PAN PORCH 11-9 KITCHEN 11-9 TOILET CL.

Because of the advantages of polished or varnished hardwood floors and numerous rugs, housekeepers are not so much afraid of fading colors. Also manufacturers have learned how to use better dyes, but in all probability the chief reason is better education in regard to health. The world progresses slowly, but it is evident that the different subjects taught in schools are broadening the minds of pupils so that as they grow up the old ignorant notions of the danger lurking in sunshine and some other back numbers are laughed out of existence. The improved micro- --- scopes which have helped to broaden the study of bacteriology have done more to eradicate disease and to install sensible ideas, many of which have really become fashions, than all the preaching of old-time doctors. A study of this cottage house plan shows more window surface than a $50,000 house built years ago. When the window shades are rolled up to the top the house is as light as a new office building. There are no dark corners for the harboring of dirt and bacteria. The plan shows that the front of the cottage is given up entirely to comfort. There is a living room 22 by 14 feet, with a sun parlor loggia 11 feet by 7 feet 6 inches arranged in such a manner that both rooms are comfortable in winter as well as in summer. The large cobblestone chimney is built especially to provide a fireplace for one end of the fine living room. The cobblestone finish may be reproduced in the living room or not, as the owner wishes. Cobblestone for inside finish has never become very popular. However, if the stones used are carefully selected for color, the finished chimney and fireplaces may be made very attractive. The stones that are polished by rain and snow and sunshine acquire colors soft in tone and they may be selected to blend together harmoniously to build up a work of art. This part of the decoration belongs to the owner. The stone mason will place the cobblestone in any position required, but the superintendence of the owner will be necessary to bring about the desired result. The sliding door which connects the dining room with the parlor has a rather wide opening. Wide doorways are used in very small houses. In fact, it would almost appear that the widest doors are fitted into the smallest houses. Wide doors are a necessity to accommodate modern furniture. The big upholstered chairs and davenports require more than an ordinary doorway to pass them through. There is an extension built out from the dining room to accommodate a built-in buffet or sideboard. This extension is a study because of the manner in which the built-in cabinet work is made. Such designs show the care with which modern houses are put together. Several odd-shaped windows built into this extension are intended to admit plenty of lights to the dining room and to merge with the built-in cabinet work in such a way as to create envy among the neighbors. The two bedrooms and the bathroom are connected by a short hallway with doors opening both into the dining room and kitchen. The kitchen, pantry, cellarway and back porch of this little cottage house are very compact and conveniently arranged for doing the housework. In a cottage more attention usually is paid to the cellar than in houses, which is one reason for designing a good stairway to go down to the basement. The basement in a cottage house often is used for different kinds of storage, and there are a good many trips made down and up in the course of a work day. Admitted to Lama Brotherhood Admitted to Lama Brotherhood. Although a foreigner and a "devil," the privileges of a lamasery in Tibet were accorded to Mr. Francis H. Nichols, whose curious diary is published in the current Bulletin of the American Geographical Society. It records his conviction that more than a third of the population of Tibet are lamas, ordained devotees of the state religion. In every family where there are five sons or more one is compelled by law to be a lama, and in some parts of Tibet there are lamaseries of women. The lamas' vows of celibacy and chastity furnish one reason why the population of Tibet is sparse. Children possessing "sacred signs of Buddha," consisting of ridges on the back of thumb or finger between the base and the first joint, are at once resigned to the lama class. Mr. Nichols was discovered to have fine ridges on his thumbs, which admitted him to the lama brotherhood and materially aided his studies. Muddled Legislation The dyeing industry, now so much under discussion, was once the subject of a curious piece of muddled legislation. In the reign of George III a bill was introduced into parliament for regulating the use of mudder in dyeing. In its passage through the house it gathered some sixty sections of restrictions and enactments, but somehow in the chopping and changing the word "madder" became entirely deleted, and accordingly the measure was inoperative from the first.—Fall Mall Gazette.

STAR THE EMBARGO ON WHEAT The United States Wheat Production Admits of 100 Million Bushels for Export. The talk in the press some little time back of placing an embargo on wheat, brought forcibly to the minds of the people of the United States a condition that may at some time in the near future face them. 100 million bushels of an export of wheat means a splendid revenue to the country as well as to the farmer, and if this were assured year after year, there would be reason for considerable congratulation. But last year's magnificent and abundant crop, which was estimated at 891 million bushels, cannot be expected every year. With a home consumption of 775 million bushels, and a production in many years of little more than this, the fact is apparent that at an early date the United States will have to import wheat. It will be then that the people of the United States will be looking to other markets for a supply. And it is then that the value of Western Canada lands will be viewed with considerable favor. The great area of wheat in Canada will then be called upon to provide the greatest portion of the old world's supply, and also, in the opinion of the writer, that of the United States as well. At present there are only about 12 million acres of these lands producing wheat. There are five times that many acres that can be brought under successful cultivation. Apart altogether from the value of these lands as wheat producers there is an increased value to them from the fact that the soil is especially adapted to the growing of many other kinds of grain as well as all manner of cultivated grasses, while the native grasses are a wonderful asset in themselves. The climate is especially favorable to the raising of live stock, such as horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. All these bring into the limelight the adaptability of the soil, the climate and all other necessary conditions, to the carrying on of dairy farming, in a most profitable way. There is no question that high prices for all that the farmer can grow or raise will continue for some years, and this is the great opportune time to take advantage of what Western Canada offers. Lands may be had as a free grant. These are mostly located some little distance from railways at the present time, but sooner or later will be well served by railways that are projected into these districts. Land may also be secured by purchase at reasonable price, and on easy terms from holders of same. In many cases farms partly improved may be rented. A Winnipeg paper said recently: "Canada wants American immigrants. They make good Canadian citizens." And then speaking of the erroneous impression that has gained some publicity in a portion of the United States press, says: "It cannot be too fiercely impressed upon the American mind that in coming to Canada they place themselves under the treestest democracy the world knows. No citizen of this country, whether native or naturalized, can be compelled to military service. The only compulsion is the compulsion of conscience and patriotic duty. That is the motive that has prompted thousands of Canadians to offer their lives. They are fighting as free men."—Advertisement.

Death Lurks In A Weak Heart --- 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.

Proprietors GOOD FOR NATION'S HEALTH Beneficial Results From Early Entry of Spring Vegetables Into the Markets of the Country. One of the marvels of modern life is the early date when spring fruits and vegetables appear in the markets. Some years ago they almost always went north in a wilted condition. With modern facilities these products of southern latitudes appear in northern towns in marvelously fresh condition. For the great majority of people prematurely early food products are an impossible luxury. But the growing wealth of the country is signified by the number of people who today feel that they can afford to buy these early garden products. For people of means it is a healthful way of spending money, which otherwise might go into highly seasoned cooking and stimulants. Also the cost of these early products has not increased as much as one would expect. They are raised in so much larger quantities that competition keeps prices somewhere within reason. Regular markets have been established and transportation costs are greatly reduced through volume of traffic.—South Bend News-Times. Diplomatically Speaking.

CLARK. ees eee ee (Btaf Correspondent Western, Newspaper Washington. —Since the war broke out in Europe much has been heard about Helgoland as an impregnable fortress. In some statements it has been said that next to Gibraltar, Hel goland is the iardest fortress nut te erack in the whole world. Now comes the United States to maintain that it has a fortress that is not only not second to Helgoland in strength, but perhaps not even to Gibraltar itself, ariny and navy men seem to think that the fortress of Corregidor which guards the entrance to Manila in the Philippines can hold off any of che world's foreos and ab: solutely prevent any possibility of successful attack on Manila by way of its ‘mmediate front, Corregidor only recently has been put into trim. Now it is understood that {ts big guns are all manned and that soon it will have a trained force of men equal to the occasion of working the weapons of offease for f period as protracted as any war is likely to be in some respects it is said Corregidor resembles Gibraltar. Much has been written recently about the fortifications on the sea coasts of the continental United States 1 uring the discussion: in the committees of congress on the sub- Ject of the military preparcduess of the United States {t has been said that our forts and our guns are ali right. out that we have not men enough to man them. From the re port of the chlef of coast Artillery, General Weaver, it is apparent that what has been said just about sume up the situation. Congress it is ex pected will provide men enough to man our guns, for otherwise we wi! be in a position of having spent a lot of money for *'s which we cannot use. In the year 1814 the British at tacked Washington. In order to reach this city today a foreign foe, unless {t can land an army, will be competted to run by the fortifications at the mouth of Chesapeake bay and by oth: er fortifications which protect the reaches of the lower Potomac. Fortress Monroe, which 1s one of the guards to the entrance of the Chesa. peake, 1s an old post and the layman who looks at it and sees the old par- apets with their granite facings can: not conceive that it would withstand the shots from modern guns, The truth is that old Fortress Monroe 4s oceupted only for show purposes and for the uses of peaceful garrison life. Connected with the old fort are the hew fortifications with thelr big dis: appearing guns — Fortress Monroe commands not only the entrance to the Chesapeake but the entrance to the James river. In Hampton Roads, whose waters are at the mouth of the James and mingle with those of the ocean, there as a lowlying American fort with powerful guns. It is an aid to For tress Monroe, and between the two an) fleet no matter how powerful, woul: bave a hard time of it trying td break an entrance elther {nto the James river or Chesapeake bay, Recentiy the Kovernment purchasec fand on Cape Henry and there another fort 16 to be built. Ships trying te ket into Chesapeake or to the Jaine: would find themselves under tire from the Cape Henry guns betor» tney ge within range of the Fortress Monroe or the Hampton Roads guns It i believed by military experts that m¢ fleet in the worid ever can force it Way into Chesapeake vay or the Jame: river thence to go with its Hehte draft vessels by the water rout either to Haitimore, Washington o Richmond. . 7 Let Us Save You Money! cCrAe “A WD) bY YESS f HN ei Lal a a We mean that we will save you money if you will only send your old suits, siiks, satins, kid gloves, furs, ete, to us, who have a Sanitary Dry Cleaning Plant.
