New York, Oct. 5—With the arrival here tonight of the steamer Norseman from Liverpool with eighteen Americans on board, forming what was left of the crew of the British steamer Liberia, a dramatic chapter was written into a colonization scheme, headed by Alfred Charles Sam, said to be chief of an African tribe, to transport negroes from Texas and Oklahoma to the west coast of Africa. The capture by the British authorities of the colonization ship and the subsequent chasing of the crew by a German submarine were among the adventures of the Liberia's sailors. The project as described by Sam was to enable negroes to go to West Africa, join in a colony and live in comparative luxury. Before the Liberia sailed on its first trip Sam widely announced his plan. The Liberia, financed by negroes, left Portland, Maine, in May and after stopping at Norfolk, Va., proceeded to Galveston, Texas, where it was reported to have taken on forty negroes and started on its voyage to the west coast of Africa. At Anamabu on the African coast the Liberia was seized by British authorities as the owner was a British subject. While there the crew was stricken with fever and removed to a hospital. After their recovery they were discharged. They then went to Liverpool, whence they were sent home as consular passengers. NEGRO RETIRES WITH HONORS Seattle, Wash.,—Only 45 years of age, William A. Vroman, regimental quartermaster sargeant of the 9th cavalry, retired on September 12, after thirty years continuous service, with pay amounting to $67.50 per month. His entire service was with the Ninth. Vroman enlisted in 1886 at Buffalo, N. Y., when only 16 years old. He served in the Indian campaign of 1890-1891, was at Santiago in the Philippine campaign of 1900-02. He qualified in 1894 as distinguished marksman, the highest qualification in the army. Sergeant Vroman received his retirement papers at Douglass, Ariz. where the Ninth is stationed, on Sept. 12, and the next day he was escorted by the regimental band and a large number of his comrades when he took the train for Cheyenne, where he visited before coming on to Seattle. He will make his future home in this city. STRADFORD READY TO GO WILL START OUT NEXT WEEK TO REPRESENT THE STAR. J. B. Stradford, a prominent citizen of Tulsa and a heavy tax payer, will leave next week on a tour of the state in the interest of The Tulsa Star. He will give accounts of his visits to different towns through the columns of this paper, showing of the progress of the race in each community he visits. Mr. Stradford is a race man and loves rac interposes. He is a splendid writer and his articles will be much in demand by the reading public. Pay For The Star School S 115 THE NEGRO'S CHALLENGE (By Carrie Parker Taylor.) You complain, my brother, my lily white brother, Of our poor race now and then. Yet you never have said what we should do To prove to you that we're men. We've done everything so far that you've done, Except sit in the president's chair, And the only reason we haven't done that Is because you won't let us sit there. In every walk of life that you've been There's at least one of us there. Among the more common crafts of men, Such as carpenters, masons and painters. We have quite a number, and plasterers, too. And many stock raisers and planters. We have lawyers and doctors, and bankers a few. And teachers we have by the score, Undertakrs and merchants and manu facturers And preachers, we have them galore. We have sculptors, architects, artists, and inventors. And poets and statesmen of fame Actors, orators and authors, and goodness knows what. For everything we do I can't name. We print our own papers, publish our books, We sing and we play same as you. And in some cases we have been known To compose some good music, too. In fact, I don't know anything that you've done. When you've given us a chance and we've tried. That we haven't don as well as you could. And sometimes btter, bsides. We've ven gon farther in some things than you. And now we need not despair. For, if we don't like our heads like sheep's wool, Why, we can straightn our hair. You say that at least we can't change our skins? Well, we've knocked that in a hat, For, by the aid of your sensual mn, Many of us have ven done that. You say we have vices? We got them from you. You're all the pattern we've had. So don't charge the race up with the misfits you see. Since our patterns so often were bad. So, what more, my brother, my lily white brother. Must we do to prove that we're men? If 'tisaught you can do and you'll give us a chance. PRIZES FOR COLORED CATHOLICS Chicago, Oct. 6.—At the Lincoln Jubilee and Half-Century Anniversary of Negro Freedom, celebrated recently in Chicago, Catholic mission work among the colored people of America was represented by exhibits from 42 convents, schools and churches. The Catholic exhibition was one of the largest in the hall. Pupils of Mother Katherine Drexel's school were awarded first prize for magnificent embroidery work; the second prize went to the Colored Sisters in Baltimore and the third prize to the Illinois Technical School for Girls in Chicago.

(From the Chicago Defender.) Columbus, O., October 1.—The people of this city were thrown into a scare last week when it became known that "The Birth of a Nation" had applied to the State Board of Censors for a permit to show this photoplay in Ohio, and two private showings of it had been made before the board. Immediately on learning the designs of the producers of the play, the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. got busy, and enlisted the support of many prominent white citizens, including Geo. J. Karb, the may or of the city; Dr. Washington Gladden, exSecretary of State Daniel J. Ryan, Rabbi Kornfield of the Jewish Synagogue; James Carroll, editor of the Catholic Columbian, and many others who signed and filed a protest with the State board of Censors against "The Birth of a Nation" being granted a permit to show in Ohio.

Censor Board Acts. Just as the chimes in Grace church across from the Capitol building were playing a strain of the last quarter to 12 o'clock or 11:45 of "Lead Kindly Light," the president of the board arose from his chair and said, "Gentlemen, list to you chimes, and amid this encircling gloom I will give the desired light, not only to the citizens of this state but to the entire United States. I am sure that our beloved Governor will be pleased to know that I have barred forever from this state that infamous lie, "The Birth of a Nation." Ralph Tyler Swoons. The committee which was sent to Columbus from every quarter of the state, and which was headed by the ex-auditor of the navy, was only be for the board 23 minutes when the president got up and made his statement.

Out of this sum it was decided by the white school board to appropriate $115,000 for the colored schools. Our people brought suit and were sustained by the court in every point. Consequently the bond issue is tied up. The school board now seeks a compromise and offers to spend $100,000 more on colored schools. Before a suit was brought they haughtily refused to consider all petitions made by our citizens for a more liberal appropriation of the fund. This is another example of what can be done to secure our fundamental rights, even through Southern courts. Oklahoma Burial Ass'n Gets Charter MEETING OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Some of Tulsa's Leading Men Behind Movement. The Oklahoma Burial Association on recently formed in this city by Rev. J. E. Toombs of Guthrie, Rev. Jas. A. Johnson, A. J. Williams and A. J. Smitherman of Tulsa, as the incorporators, will soon be ready to commence business. The charter for the association came last week and a meeting was called for Tuesday night for the purpose of electing members of the board of directors. A very enthusiastic meeting was held, but after an hour's discussion it was decided to adjourn until Wednesday night. The meeting was held in the Star office. Among those who were present at the meeting were Rev. J. A. Johnson, Rev. Dero Mills, Prof. J. W. Hughes, J. B. Stradford, Lawyer C. F. Stradford, M. J. Lathon, J. H. Goodwin, P. Gilmore, Ben Lewis, A. J. Williams and A. J. Smitherman. The association proposed to pay a maximum for funeral expenses. It is strictly a burial association with no other features added, but is generally admitted to be an exceptionally good for those who become members. It is a $10,000 corporation with strong men behind it and success is assured. Several men and women will be employed on a salary to represent the association throughout the state with a motto slogan of "Twenty thousand members in three years." The board of directors as elected Wednesday night are: Rev. J. A. Johnson, Dero Mills, T. Gilmer, A. L. Phillips, C. F. Stradford, A. J. Williams and A. J. Smitherman. These men bought more than $300.00 worth of stock. It was decided to sell a block of 50 shares at $10.00 per share before any efforts are made to get members for the association. This will be done next week after which the state will be thoroughly organized and the work of securing members' commenced. The board of directors meet again tonight. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS Reported by the National Negro Business League. A thought for the week: "Advertising is governed by no law—controlled by no creed. It is so eusive a thing that the clutches of monopoly have never been able to throttle it. There is so much of it that it knows no limits nor boundaries. It is the Subscription $1.00 Per Year Party! CHAMP CLARK Helps in Saving Negro From Mob Sheriff' Wife Heroine Bowling Green, Mo., Oct. 6.—For the second time, Mrs. W. B. Hawkins, wife of the sheriff of Pike county, saved the life of Harrison Rose, a negro prisoner charged with murder, by parlaying with a mob which had invaded the Pake county jail at 1 o'clock this morning, while the sheriff formed a posse of citizens. The posse of fifty armed men, among whom were Speaker Champ Clark and his son Bennett, arrived at the jail a few minutes after the mob had fled. greatest of all commercial forces, and yet all that is positively known about it can be told in a few words. One thing actually known is this: Every form of advertising is good for somebody and some forms are good for everybody." - Bert M. Moses in Advertising and Selling. The Amsterdam News of New York City has inaugurated a unique service for its readers. They are co-operating with certain local organizations to assist skilled Colored mechanics to obtain employment. The Citizens' Commercial League of Beaumont, Texas, was recently organized to stimulate the trade of the Negro merchants now in business and to encourage the establishment of more enterprises. Later on they plan to affiliate with the National Negro Business League. Major R. R. Moton of Hampton Institute and a party of distinguished educators are touring the State of Virginia in the interest of the Negro Organization Society. One hundred and thirty-five Colored families of Evansville, Indiana, competed in a recent contest held in that city for the most beautiful front yards and the best home gardens. Although this is an annual event in Evansville, the Colored people have never before participated. Mr. Logan H. Stewart, president of the Evansville Local League, says interest in the contest was stimulated by the National Negro Health Week conducted last spring. The Local League in Action—On Sunday afternoon, September 26th, the Local Negro Business League of Columbia, South Carolina, held a mass meeting to stimulate interest in the League's work and to hear reports of the Boston meeting from Mrs. L. J. Rhodes. Superintendent of the Good Samaritan Hospital and Mr. I. S Leevy, the successful merchant tailor, the published announcement of this meeting says: The last census gave us a Negro population of more than twenty-nine thousand in Richland county—a little more than half the population. The money spent by this host of individuals for food and clothing yields a substantial profit and if Negro merchants were sufficiently established to take care of this business, it would enable them to enlarge their stores and employ a great many more of our young men and women as clerks, bookkeepers, stenographers, etc. In addition to this, it would enable the members of the race in this community to do more for the education of the youth, to build better homes, to elevate their standards of living and to do more for churches, schools and charitable institutions. PAGE TWO ALLIES FORCE A REAL OFFENSIVE BUSTAINED ATTACK IN THE WEST DRIVES BACK GER MAN LINES. TEUTONS LOSE 120,000 MEN Von Hindenberg Still a Long Way From Dvinsk and Making Slow Progress—Turks Defeated in Mesopotamia. London —The great struggle on the western front has resolved itself clearly into a battle for Lens, in Pas De Calais, nine miles northwest of Arras. The capture of this town, with its radiating railways, would bring into the foreground the possibility of retaking Lille. Both north and south of Lens the allies hold high ground dominating the town—the British on Hill No. 70, the French on Hill No. 149 the high crest between Souchez and Vilmy. The official report from Paris said merely that this crest had been reached, so that presumably a terrific counter-attack is raging there, with final mastery of this important position at stake. There is the usual speculation as to the shifting of German forces from the east to the west, although anything like reliable information is lacking. As against the report that some Prussian guards have been hurried west, there are rumors that Field Marshal Von Hindenburg still bent on taking Dvinsk, has been reinforced heavily. Moreover, the Austrians, judging from their new successes in the south, apparently, have received fresh troops. While the Anglo-French troops in Artois apparently are now simply engaged in consolidating the ground won and opposing the German counterattacks, the battle for the German second line of defense in Champagne—the collapse of which would acutely menace the greater part of the German position in the west—is proceeding with the greatest stubbornness. At several points the French troops have gained a footing in the second line and some of them even went right through, but encountering German reserves, were unable to maintain their progress. According to the German account these latter troops were captured or exterminated. The Germans, however, admit the Loss of Hill 191, to the north of Massiges, where the French are not far from the railway triangle, the possession of which has been of the greatest advantage to the Germans as one of the lines has been used for carrying supplies to the Argonne army. May Relieve Pressure on Russia. It is believed here that besides the gain of ground both in Artois and Champagne and the improved position of the allies generally, the recent successful operations must soon relieve the pressure on Russia and perhaps prevent the Austro-Germans from sending any large force against Serbia. In the offensive movement which has now lasted a week, the allies have gained about 100 square miles of territory and captured 500 cannon and machine guns. German losses in men are figured at 150,000. Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, while he claims to have made some progress in his operations against Dvinsk is still a long way from that city. His troops to the southeast of Vilna, however, have had better success. They have broken through the Russian position and captured a thousand prisoners. It is believed that this is the first stroke in his latest blow against the Russian right, and that he intends to advance southeastward in the direction of Minsk and endeavor to cut off the Russians retreating from Baranovichi. Slavs Driven Across River Styr. South of the Pripet marshes in which Field Marshal Von Mackensen and his troops have struck, the Russians have been driven back across the river Styr, but along the Galacian border they are still vigorously hammering at the Austro-German armies In London it is felt that Bulgaria has now abandoned any aggressive action she might have intended against Serbia, but an Athens dispatch says the situation is still considered serious and that Greece is going on with her preparations for eventualities. The victory of the British over the Turks in Mesopotamia brings General Sir John Nixon's men within 150 miles of Bagdad. The news came unheard-ed to London, as the fighting in that quarter has been almost forgotten. Whether the British will try to push on to Bagdad is problematical, but is consensus of opinion here. Submarine Bids Opened. Washington.-Bids for building sixteen submarines authorized by the last congress were opened, the Union Iron Works, San Francisco, and the Electric Torpero Boat Company, Quincy, Mass., submitting the lowest offer for the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, respectively. The San Francisco concern bid for five or more at $510,000 each, the first to be completed in twelve months and two each month thereafter. The Massachusetts company bid for eight or more at $525,000. HURRICANE SWEEPS CUAST HURRICANE SWEEPS CUAST NEW ORLEANS AND DELTA COUNTRY SUFFERS GREAT LOSS While Death List Grows Hourly As Bodies Are Taken From the Mass of Wreckage. New Orleans.—Reports from scattered sections of the hurricane area in Louisiana and the Mississippi gulf coast gave 160 known dead, 106 reported dead and 113 missing. Hundreds of persons along the Mississippi and interior points are marooned in flooded sections. Relief vessels have been sent to assist them. It is believed that the total casualties in Louisiana and Mississippi will not exceed 300. The property loss in the stricken district is unofficially estimated at $12,000,000. The territory for fifteen miles south of New Orleans and sixty miles on both sides of the river is under five to fifteen feet of water. The Mississippi coast from Pass Christian west is seriously damaged. Bay St. Louis and Waveland property loss is hundreds of thousands. "I believe the storm damage to the city of New Orleans will amount to about $2,000,000," declared Mayor Behrman. Great crowds assembled along the waterfront here to see the wreckage. The ferry landing at the foot of Canal street was wrecked and the ferries badly damaged. Three hundred persons were at the landing when the collapse came. Four of them were hurt. The others hurried to the Louisville & Nashville depot where they remained until help came. The Poydras street ferry was dashed against the shore and wrecked but all on board escaped. The big dry dock on the Algiers side of the river was blown across and into Napoleon avenue. A United States revenue cutter was in this dry dock. Velocity of 130 Miles Per Hour. The maximum velocity of the wind, according to the local weather bureau was between 120 and 130 miles an hour. For more than seven hours the hurricane swept over the city at a rate of more than sixty miles an hour. The lowest mark registered by the barometer was 28.11 at 5.30, which according to local weather bureau officials, is the lowest mark ever registered in the United States. Police and fire departments were kept busy responding to calls for assistance and investigating reports of collapsed buildings. Two hundred young women were removed by the police in automobiles and police vehicles from a cigar factory threatened with destruction just before nightfall. They were housed in the criminal court building until the storm abated. Numerous school buildings and churches were destroyed or badly damaged by the wind. Approximately 8,000 telephones were rendered useless and trolley service was suspended after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Lake Ponchartrain rose between twelve and fifteen feet sending water over the sea wall at Westend and Spanish fort and flooding Milneburg street. Limited trolley service was begun shortly after midnight but the streets were so littered with debris that the company an hour later withdrew the few cars which attempted to traverse the regular routes. Communication with Louisiana points on the gulf was cut off but last reports were that the inhabitants had fled to high ground further inland before the storm broke. Officials of railroad and telegraph companies stated it will be several days before normal service between New Orleans and the outside world can be restored. According to news from shipping interests at Pascagoula, one of the steamships swept ashore at Gulfport is the British steamship Birchwood of 1,800 tons from Algiers on her last passage. ENGLISH DISSATISFIED WITH LOAN Thinks American Financiers Get Too Big a Rake Off. London—Asserting that American bankers naturally prefer a loan with some $10,000,000 profit to the importation of gold which brings no profit, the Manchester Guardian declares editorially "there is no reason, however, why the government should indulge in what has every appearance of being a blunder as costly politically as financially." Insisting that the loan would be invalid unless approved by parliament, the Guardian adds: "Seldom has a financial transaction been imposed upon the British people which cried out so loud for justification. More Mexican Bandits Nabbed. Brownsville. — Announcement that five Mexican-American bandits, one of them wounded and all of them chased across the Rio Grande by American troops, have been arrested on the Mexican side of the river, was made by Brig. Gen. A. P. Nafarrate, Carranza commander at Matamoros. At the same time he said he is investigating the reported gathering of 500 Mexicans forming near Progreso crossing with the apparent intention of invading the American territory. THE TULSA STAR BULGARIA MUST DECIDE QUICKLY RUSSIA TAKES STEPS TO END THE HORSEPLAY IN THE BALKANS. GERMAN OFFICERS MUST GO In Twenty-four Hours, or the Russian Minister Will Do So According To Terms of the Utl Petrograd — The Russian minister has been ordered to leave Sofia unless within twenty-four hours the Bulgarian government openly breaks with Austria and Germany and sends away the Austrian and German military officers now in Bulgaria. The news agency gives the following note which the minister at Sofia has been ordered to hand to M. Radioslavoff, the Bulgarian premier: "The events which are taking place in Bulgaria at this moment give evidence of a definite decision of King Ferdinand's government to place the fate of its country in the hands of Germany. "The presence of German and Austrian officers at the ministry of war and on the staff of the army, the concentration of troops in the zone bordering Serbia, and the extensive financial support accepted from our enemies by the Soha cabinet no longer leave any doubt as to the object of the military preparedness of Bulgaria. "The powers of the entente who have heart the realization of the aspirations of the Bulgarian people, have on many occasions warned M. Radoslavoff than any hostile act against Serbia would be considered as directed against themselves. The assurances given by the head of the Bulgarian cabinet in reply to these warnings are contradicted by the facts. "The representative of Russia which is bound to Bulgaria by the imperishable memory of her liberation from the Turkish yoke, can not sanction by his presence preparations for fratricidal aggression against a slav and allied people. The Russian minister, therefore has received orders to leave Bulgaria with all the staff of the legation and consulates if the Bulgarian government does not within twenty-four hours openly break with the enemies of the Slav cause and of Russia and does not at once proceed to send away officers belonging to armies of states which are at war with the powers of the entente." From the news received during the past few days from the Balkans it is considered certain that King Ferdinand and Premier Radoslavov have made their choice and are only awaiting the completion of mobilization to strike at Serbia and assist the Austro-Germans to open the road to Constantinople, which has been anxiously waiting for many weeks for promised aid from the central powers. Greece, it is believed, will live up to her treaty with Serbia and come to her assistance if she is attacked by her neighbor, but the attitude of Roumania, which remains only a partly mobilized spectator, is a matter of uncertainty. PORTER CHARLTON'S TRIAL BEGINS American Must Answer For Uxercide at Como, Italy. Rome.—The tragedy of a gentle and unsophisticated youth wedded to a brilliant, witty and world-seasoned woman twenty years his senior will be unfolded in all its heart-breaking details this week at Como where the trial of the American, Porter Charlton, began on Tuesday. It is more than five years ago, in the summer of 1910, that Italian fishermen, casting their nets in beautiful Lake Como, drew to the surface a trunk containing the battered body of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Porter, who had been leading a gay life with her immature husband in a villa on the hillside. There were theories that the husband had been murdered, too, until he was arrested several days later as he stepped off a steamship in Hoboken, N. J., and candidly described the crime to the New York police. He fought extradition three years and has been in jail at Como nearly as long. Big Bond Issue Settled New York.—The agreement between the Anglo-American commercial commission and the American bankers with whom they have been conferring over the proposed credit loan to Great Britain and France, has resulted in the formation of a definite plan, it was officially announced here for the establishment of a $500,000,000 loan issue on five-year 5 per cent joint British and French bonds payable jointly by the two nations upon which the big loan will be a first lien. The bonds will be issued to the public at 98, thus yielding approximately $5\frac{1}{2}$ per cent to the investor and the nation-wide syndicate of bankers which will subscribe to the loan at 96. Formation of the syndicate has been left to J. P. Morgan & Co. The bonds will be issued in denominations as low as $100 and subscribers thereto may pay for them by installment. At maturity these bonds will be repayable in cash or convertible into $4\frac{1}{2}$ deemable in cash to twenty years. per cent joint Anglo-French bonds re- matum. BULGARIA FORCED TO DECIDE XIV After successfully quibbling and dickering with both sides for a year, Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria, himself a German, was forced to an abrupt decision by Russia's ultimatum. BIGGEST BATTLE SHIP AFLOAT WILL FLY BANNER OF THE STARS AND STRIPES. President Wilson and Navy Department To Recommend These Monsters to Congress. Washington.—Super-battle cruisers, bigger, faster and more heavily armed than any war craft now affloat or building and which will cost $18,000,000 each to construct and equip, will be recommended to congress as a part of the navy building program for next year. Decision on this step was reached at a conference between President Wilson, Secretary Daniels and Representative Padgett, chairman of the house naval affairs committee. Just how many of the new type ships will be asked for this winter has not been determined. Secretary Daniels said, after the conference. THREE AUTOLOADS OF REPEATERS Were Used In Indianapolis Elections Last Fall. Indianapolis.—Three autos loaded with repeaters were hauled about the city during the election of November 3, 1913, and voted in a number of precincts, according to Nelson Hughes, who testified in the trial of Mayor Joseph E. Bell, charged with election conspiracy. Hughes, who was indicted with Mayor Bell, and pleaded guilty, is the same man who testified in the Terre Haute election case in federal court after pleading guilty that he registered a dog as a legal voter. Before Hughes took the stand Theodore Portteus, former sheriff and a candidate for re-election last November, denied that Mayor Bell had given him $5,000 in $1 and $2 bills or any other sum of money to be used by Portteus in his campaign for the democratic candidates. Hughes told of going out with Hugh (Goosie) Stello, another co-defendant, and three automobile loads of repeaters. He related how the machines were driven over the city, stopping on side streets away from the polling places and the men going to the polls singly. In some precincts, the witness said, all the men except the chauffeurs voted, while in others only three or four got to vote. "KANSAS CYCLONE" ON COAST Plays Havoc In Sixty Seconds at Morgan City, La. Morgan City, La.—One killed, twelve injured, is the toll of "a Kansas cyclone" that invaded this city and in sixty seconds razed twelve dwellings and a store building, besides great wrecking of the shingle sheds of Brownnell Drews Lumber Company. The cyclone probably formed on the gulf a few miles from here and was travelli (in a northeasterly direction. When it struck the northern part of the city it created a panic among the women and children. Lumber was flying in all directions and the sky was black with missiles. Big Loan Is Oversubscribed New York—The Anglo-French $500, 000,000 bond issue has been over subscribed. When the underwriters' books were closed it was found that $50,000,000 more than needed has been spoken for. Both John D. Rockefeller and William Rockefeller have subscribed, the former, it is reported, for $10,000,000; the latter for a sum believed to be less but not disclosed. Another subscriber is Sir Ernest Cassel, former privy councillor and financial adviser to the late King Edward VIL. He took $5,000,000.

There are apples of some variety in the market the year round, but the winter apple is the favorite. that there had been everything said about serving apples, but some new combination or arrangement is springing up each day. For the common baked apple, to add to its attractiveness a marshmallow placed on top while they are still hot, or even before they come from the oven, makes a pretty garnish. Serve them with whipped cream. Whipped cream with a cube of jelly or a sprinkling of nuts on baked apples affords a pleasing change. Fillings for cored apples that are to be baked are many. Nuts, raisins, candied cherries or dates and figs chopped and mixed with lemon juice. Chopped hickory nuts is another well-liked filling; prunes, too, give a delicious variety. Apple Conde.—Carefully stew sheed apples in a rich sirup, being careful to keep them unbroken. Cook rice and pack it into cups to mold, setting it on ice to chill. Turn out the rice on serving plates, arrange the apples neatly around the mold, then pour the hot sirup over all. Surround with sweetened cream and serve. Apple dumplings are favorites of the boys, young and old. Roll out a rich biscuit dough, cut in squares and wrap a cored, peeled apple in each square, pinching the corners to keep them tight. Bake and serve with sugar and cream. Apple mixed with celery nuts and a plain boiled dressing served in pretty apple cups, which are made by scooping out the apple at the stem end after cutting off a neat slice leaving the stem in, makes a most fetching salad, dish and all. Apples added to chicken salad make it go farther and are also an improvement. An apple added to a potato salad is well liked, giving an added zest. Life is an arrow—therefore you must know What mark to alm at, how to use the bow- Then draw to the head, and let it go! Although oysters are not so nutritious as we once were led to believe, they are easily digested and are most delightful flavor in many dishes. Fried Oysters.—Dip oysters into beaten egg diluted with milk, then into crisp cracker crumbs. Fry in deep fat and garnish with sliced lemon. Curried Oysters.—Allow six oysters to each person. Prepare a sauce by frying two large sliced onions in butter and mixing with two tablespoonfuls of curry powder, two ounces of grated coarse nut, a little sour orange and soup stock. Simmer for half an hour, chicken with flour, then add the oysters with their liquid. Simmer for three minutes. Then squeeze in the juice of a lemon and serve very hot. Baked Oysters.—Take about two dozen oysters, two cupfuls of bread crumbs, half a pound of cheese and two cupfuls of milk. Butter a baking dish and cover the bottom with a layer of buttered crumbs, lay a layer of oysters on this and cover with cheese, seasonings and a layer of crumbs; add another layer of oysters but do not repeat again as three layers of oysters to not cook well. When the upper layer is done the middle one is uncooked. Finish with cheese and crumbs and bake 30 minutes in a moderate oven. Two cupfuls of milk are added before the top layer of crumbs. Cooked rice in place of bread crumbs is another method of baking oysters, and is well liked, omitting the cheese. The combination of cheese and oysters is not relished by everyone. Nellie Maxwell Some children roam the fields and hills, And others work in noisy mills. Some dress in silks, and dance and play, While others drudge their lives away; Some glow with health and bound with song. And some must suffer all day long Chocolate is such a general favorite with everyone that any dish or combination using it will not come amiss. Chocolate Pie. — Take a pint of milk, a pinch of salt and a half a cupful of butter; put on to boil, add a half cupful of grated chocolate, a half cupful of sugar, well mixed with a quarter of Chocolate Pie. — Take a pint of milk, a pinch of salt and a half a cupful of butter; put on to boil, add a half cupful of grated chocolate, a half cupful of sugar, well mixed with a quarter of a cupful of flour; cook until smooth. Flavor with vanilla and bake in a bottom crust. Cover with whipped cream. This makes a good sized pie. Chocolate sauce to serve with ice cream or as a pudding sauce is delicious. Mix well one-half cupful each of grated chocolate and sugar, add a half cupful of cream and heat slowly until well blended. Chocolate Gelatin.—Take a pint each of milk and cream, a half cupful of sugar, a half box of gelatin, two ounces of chocolate and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Cover the gelatin with one-half cupful of cold water and let soak for half an hour. Put the milk over the fire, adding sugar and chocolate, then the gelatin. Take from the fire and add the vanilla and fold in the whipped cream when it is cool. Set away to chill in a mold. Chocolate Fudge.—Take a half cupful of milk, two cupfuls of sugar, a square of chocolate and a third of a cupful of corn sirup. Cook together, adding a tablespoonful of butter during the boiling. When a ball is formed by dropping in cold water, remove and stir, adding nuts if desired. Let it cool a while before stirring or set it into a dish of cold water while stirring. Cream puffs filled with a chocolate mixture dipped in chocolate frosting make a most delicious small cake. Chocolate Filling.—This is a most delicious filling or frosting for a plain chocolate cake. Take a cupful of sugar. five tablespoonfuls of cream one egg beaten and two squares of chocolate, cook in a double boiler for an hour. Then beat and when thick enough put on the cake. Pygmies are pygmies still; though perched on Alps; And pyramids are pyramids in vales, Each man makes his own stature, builds himself Virtue alone outbuilds the pyramids; Her monuments shall last, when Egypt's fall-'Tis moral grandeur makes the mighty man.

NEW MATERIAL FOR LINING Chintz Silk Has Taken the Fancy of Fashion—How It Is Utilized by Parisian Modiste. Chintz silks for linings are more popular than ever. Some of these silks are beautiful enough to merit a place in a museum, the colorings being as unexpected and beautiful as the designs. A famous Parisian tailor is introducing these silks on shantung and linen coats with fine effect. Recently a tailor-made was seen which had been created by this artist, and the material of the suit was oyster white linen, while the lining of the rather long, loose coat was chintz-silk, which showed dull purple, green, orange, black and white on a faint shell-pink ground. The design was very intricate and it was a well-covered pattern. There were mother-of-pearl buttons rimmed in purple enamel on the coat, and it was accompanied by an oyster-white organdle blouse lavishly trimmed with real valenciennes lace. Some of these chintz silks are quite inexpensive, or comparatively so. They are used for coattees and even fo. blouses, but they are at their best when lining picturesque coats or wraps for summer wear. Chinese designs are very popular for silks of this order, and the magpie tints, mingled with bright touches of color, are very much to the front. But You Have to Buy a Toque. A very new fad that has not yet reached this city is the little masque veil, which is very much the rage, so they say, in many places, says the society editor in the Independence Reporter. The veils are made of lace or maline, with plain or scalloped edge, but the feature lies in the method of wearing it. The edge of the veil is allowed to just cover the tip of the nose, giving the effect of a sheer masque that adds a touch of mystery and orientalism to the eyes that is very fetching. Of course the veil is suitable to be worn only with the new toques that are so pretty this autumn. —Kansas City Star. MODES OF THE SEASON INDICATIONS THAT CRINOLINE IS TO BE REVIVED. Frock Recently Seen Seems to Bear Out the idea—Bodice Girdle Much in Favor — Styles in New Fall Coats. It has been the subject of conversation among fashion designers for the last two years as to whether the crinoline is again to come into vogue. Heavy cord has already been used in the bottom of foundation skirts, causing them to flare out in old-fashioned hoop effect, and now comes a model with heavy cord raised from the bottom of the skirt and run through a puffing in the silk just at the line of the hips. This frock was made in black and white checked silk, with full skirt trimmed with narrow plaited ruffles at the bottom. With it is worn a plain tight-fitted bodice of black faille, buttoned down the front, with well curved waist and with color, turnback cuffs and armholes trimmed with frills of silver mesh net. There is a continued use of the ruffle and ruche as a skirt trimming. A new skirt has a trimming of three-inch-wide side-plaited ruffles of the material run from the belt to the hem across the back of the skirt only, the front being left plain and the fullness laid in deep soft plains at the line of the belt. With the revival of old-fashioned skirt fulled straight around from hip to hip has come the use of the bodice girdle, a tight-fitted girdle made of the material in which the costume is developed and worn either with or without a shoulder strap attachment. It may have lacings in front or at one side or at both sides. Large drop-brim hats are trimmed either with a plain band of embroidered ribbon or with satin ribbon knotted back and front, the ends extended beyond the brim. A pure white hat trimmed with a black tafeta ribbon band brocaded in vivid art flowers is strikingly attractive. Some large-brimmed sailor hats have the slashed brim rolled back at one edge, the edges caught by a stiff bow of a fan-shaped ornament of ostrich. For a plain, smart walking hat the broad, high-crown, parrow-brim sailor is smart, trimmed with a buckle and flat loops of grosgrain ribbon or with fan-shaped ostrich. Some of the new fall coats button tight from the throat to the knees in single-breasted effect, and the long coat dress-style garment buttons straight down to the bottom of the hem. There are jackets closed in a bias line from the middle of the collar to the hips, and there are coats which open at the side from the shoulder to the waist, or to the ankle. There is not only a tendency toward the bias line of coat closings, but also to a one-sided trimming of coats. All jackets, whether long or short, are made with lower front edges pointed or square cut. The basques of the jackets may slope slightly from front to back, from front to sides, or from back toward the front, but in all cases the rounded cutaway effect is avoided. The use of tab trimming at the edges of the basque and jacket openings is seen. LITTLE TRIMMING ON BLOUSE Fine Tucks Have Taken the Place of the Elaborate Ornamentation That Once Prevailed. Many of the season's smartest blouses show no trimmings other than fine tucks and some very dainty effects can be achieved through the medium of this simple ornamentation. Here, for instance, made up in fine white or delicate pink batiste or crepe de chine, is a charming blouse model for summer and fall. The fronts and back show a cluster of very tiny tucks run from shoulder to waist at the extreme sides, and again some four inches inside of that, wjh the tucks n i c e t y matched on the shoulder seams. A similar cluster of tucks is then run across the bottom of the blouse, crossing the other about four inches above the belt, and careful to waist at the extreme sides, and again some four inches inside of that, with the tucks nicely matched on the shoulder seams. A similar cluster of tucks is then run across the bottom of the blouse, crossing the others about four inches above the belt, and carefully matched at the underarm seams. In front, a slash is cut almost up to the bust line at either side, and so arranged as to occur in the center of the four-inch space left between the two clusters of lengthwise tucks. The slashes are button trimmed and show a close line of corresponding buttonholes. They must not be allowed to gap much—in fact, so slightly, that no backing will be needed. This blouse slips on over the head and so shows an opening below the AFTERNOON SUIT Open Day and Night Remember us in your sorrow. H. W. RAGDALES, Mgr PHONE 4280 114 N.

MUCH IS BEING SAID about Gov, Wittfams calling a special session of the legislature for the purpose of legislating the Negr ut of his right to vote. There may be in fact there are—some be nighted ignorant hill-billies in Oklahoma who favor such a course, but no one who desires to be fair with our governor woul © him of being a party to any such scheme Gov, Williams is above this kind of petty politics. Lie is gover: nor of all the people of the state, Negroes inclided, and in slischarging the duties of this high office he will not be inveigled into the tran- sundental region of political cumpunetion where some others may be trying to drag him To call a special session to do anything to keep the Negro from voting would be in contempt of the U.S. Supreme court, antes it applied to all races alike, without discrimination, But there is no need for calling a special session for the obvious reason that there are as many Negro democrats now in Oklahoma as there are republicans, if not more, What the Negro needs most of all is to be let alone and allowed to exercise his right to vote, to his own way of thinking just as other men do. When this is done the democrats have nothing to fear but the republicans may have. STICKING TOGETHER. THE BRYANT'S NATIONAL BENEFIT ASSN orgamzed in this city last week has the best thing ever offered as an insurance if they do what they are advertising to do, For 40 cents per month they agree to pay each members doctor bill, medicine bill, funeral ex- penses and $1000.00 benevolent membership certificate ‘The Tulsa Star office offered to print for this association 5,000 membership certificates, 5,000 appilication blanks, 5,000 folder receipt blanks, 5,000 dodgers and 500 constitution and by-laws for $54.00. Our bid was in vain. Maybe we were too high. However, a local white shop printed 500 each of three of the jobs, for which the Assn paid about $9.00. That's $9.00 for 1500 copies as against $54 for 20,500 copies, How do the prices compare?

A very brilliant affair was the Smoker Wednesday evening of last week given by the Bon Ton club, in honor of E. R. Williams, who has recently returned to the city after an absence of three years. About fifty persons were present, all of whom were waiters, except a lone reporter of The Tulaa Star. The large number of waiters in attendance vied with each other in paying beautiful tributes and indulging toasts of welcome to the guest of honor. Mr. Williams was overcome and be wildered at the ventable deluge of love, reverence and respect showered upon him by this great concourse of trained hotel men, many of whom had seen service under his leadership. "An Appreciation of Efficient Leadership" was the topic of the evening. The principle speakers were: Mr. John Smith, president and founder of the Bon Ton club, who gave the welcome address. Mr. Pierce acted as toastmaster. Mr. Williams made a masterful response to all, and in his timely remarks which were peculiarly adapted to the occasion, were proof of his efficiency in hotel service. Cigars and refreshments of the season were served. A collection of $5.00 was taken for Mr. Henry Wenslet, a waiter, who is on the sick list. On the second Wednesday in October there will be a banquet for the waiters' wives under the auspices of the Bon Ton club. Williams has resumed his old duties as head waiter at the Lee-Huckins hotel. With Smith at the Skrivin the boys are all happy. For Qvi. Servie Gas and Water Connections and General Plumbing, Repair Work See or Call E. A.

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

TRANSCONTINENT WIRELESS PHONE ANOTHER TWENTIETH CENTURY MIRACLE SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMED FROM ARLINGTON TO FRISCO American Telephone and Telegraph Company and Navy Department Announce Completion of Long Distance Experiments. Washington. — Wireless telephone communication across the continent was accomplished for the first time last week when experiments extending over several months culminated in successful transmission of the human voice by radio from the great naval plant at Arlington, Va., across the continent to the station at Mare Island, Cal. 2,500 miles away The experiments were conducted by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in co-operation with the navy radio service and the Western Electric Company. Secretary Daniels, announcing the result predicted that further developments of wireless telephony would make great changes in long distance communication both for military and naval service in commercial usage. Successful operation of a device for automatically transferring to the radio telephone conversations originating on metallic circuits also was accomplished in the tests. President Theodore N. Vail and other officials of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company at New York talked easily with the Mare island station, the conversations traveling over an ordinary metallic line from New York to Arlington thence by radio across the continent. "The fact that the voices can be started on a land wire and automatically transmitted to a voice radio transmitter," said Secretary Daniels, "holds out hope that persons inland should readily be put in touch by telephone with others at sea through some central transmitting station." This latest triumph of the telephonic art was under the direct supervision of John J. Carty, chief engineer of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, who, with an able corps of engineers and scientists, had been working for some time on the problem both from the standpoint of wire and wireless transmission. Transcontinental wire transmission was publicly demonstrated for the first time last January and the transcontinental wireless transmission follows the celebration of the former great technical achievement after a period of less than a year. Mr. Carly stated that the results achieved here outdistance anything heretofore accomplished. He believes talking across the continent has greater difficulties than talking across the Atlantic, for transmission over water is much easier than over land, particularly in view of the formidable mountain ranges to be crossed on the continent. "Telephone messages," Mr. Carty says, "were transmitted with success from Arlington, Va., to tilt Isthmus of Panama, where they were received at the government radio station by one of his engineers and by the naval officers in charge, who telegraphd back their contents. At San Diego, also where one of the telephone engineers was located at the naval radio station, wireless telephone speech from the telephone and naval and army officials at Washington was received. Talking across the Atlantic by means of this new system is now but a matter of installing the necessary apparatus." U. N. Bethell, senior vice president of the company, who also talked over the wireless telephone, made the following statement: "This romantic incident—this talk by wireless across the continent—means another epoch in the development of the art of transmitting intelligence by electricity. The talking was very satisfactory, words and sentences uttered from New York were repeated back from San Francisco with absolute accuracy and even my voice was recognized immediately when I spoke into the transmitter. "The wireless telephone's great value will be to supplement and extend the telephone service wire system in those situations where it is impossible to string wires, and its use over wide expanses of water, desert, etc, opens up attractive fields to the imagination, especially when some way is found to overcome the well-known disturbances which interfere so much with all wireless communications, whether telephone or telegraph. In spite of this, however, the value of wireless telephony can hardly be estimated and it is sure to be helpful beyond expression in making a neighborhood of nations." Germany Still A Poor Letter Writer. Washington—Germany has failed to satisfy the request of the United States that the sinking of the Arabic with a loss of American lives be avowed and liability for the act assumed by the imperial government. This became known after a conference between President Wilson and Secretary Lansing at which the latter submitted a note given him in New York by Count Von Bornstorff, the German ambassador. No announcement was made after the White House conference. THE TULSA STAR AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS One thing that appealed most to me was a little cottage set off in the corner of the grounds—the center of several acres, surrounded by garden, orchard, poultry yard, barn and pig pen, a home of the humble type, just such a home as work will give to any thrifty Negro; or white man, who wants to live, to make a home relates a visitor to the Tuskegee institute. This is where every girl in the school has to spend a week during the term. She is given a small amount of cash—40 cents a day, and she has to manipulate with the others living with her during the period, having each an equal amount of change. So as to make a comfortable home for themselves, here is their real lesson in household duties, with a teacher to direct. The house consists of two bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room, pantry, bath, front and back porches. The furniture made by the beginners in woodwork, indicating that anybody can make some furniture without much effort, at least with so much wood around have a bed, chairs, tables and a few benches. The windows are draped with cheesecloth, cross-stitched by the girls; the portieres are made from croker sacks or other rough material, dyed by pupils; settees are made the same way; rugs, home made; the students are taught here the care of beds, of closets, of woodwork, disinfecting, dish washing, cooking, setting table and all duties pertaining to housekeeping; they work the garden, gather and prepare the vegetables, care for chickens and the stock, even learn the care of garbage. Connected with the home is a flower garden and a playground. Do our mountain people, do our rural schools have such a chance in life? Why not? I did not go there to find out what the northern capitalists were doing to educate the Negro. I had been told all of this. I knew what money would do. I went there to find out what Booker T. Washington and his wife were doing for the Negro and how the Negro was making use of the opportunity. I did not leave the grounds from the minute I drove in the Lincoln gate until I left for the depot. I ate and slept there in a home reserved by the school for white friends. I was treated with the same courtesy and attention as I have been accustomed to by the Negroes all of my life, and I profiled by the experience and enjoyed every minute of my time. Booker Washington was not there, but his wife was. She had done as much for the uplift of her race as he has. He has financed and planned and she has executed much of the details. She was born in Macon, Miss, educated at Nashville and taught in this institution before she married. She is a very intelligent, industrious woman, with a strong purpose, and she is working the details of this problem of the poor and helpless among her people. She hopes to see the day when every Negro is trained to give the best of his sense and energy, when he is certain that work is the only way to attain a great end. She has a handsome home and she keeps it well. She loves the South and speaks with gratitude of her friends in the North. This training and environment will in time give to the white people of the South the competent service that was theirs in part; intelligent work is needed in every office. This is a work for the people of both races, as I saw it on my visit. The movement of southern Negroes toward farm ownership has been one of the marked developments of the past decade. Nevertheless, even with a general knowledge of this movement, it is a surprise to learn that one-fourth of all the Negro farmers of the South own the farms they cultivate, and that their total value is $500,000,000. These are the figures of tered by Dr. E. C. Branson of the University of North Carolina, who is one of a committee charged with the expenditure of $3,500,000 for the betterment of the Negro. He reports that the colored man is solving his own problem, and is solving it in terms of industry and soil ownership. Negro population in the South is dwindling, says Doctor Branson, except in the states of Arkansas and Oklahoma, but it is increasing in the cities and decreasing in the country. The Negroes are rapidly changing from tenants to farm owners—Boston Transcript. Talk about the intelligence of the people is discounted by the fact that a great many of them believe in madstones.—Exchange. The Texas sweet potato crop will amount to 10,000,000 bushels this year. But residents of that expansive state are merely irritated by such diminutiveness. They say the figure should be ten times larger.

AN CULLINGS Illinois day exercises brought the Lincoln Jubilee and Negro Emancipation Semi-Centennial exposition to a close at Chicago. During the four weeks the show has been in progress at the Coliseum 100 000 persons have passed through the doors. Adjustant General Frank S. Dickson, representing Governor Dunne, was the chief speaker. During the afternoon of the closing day the commission in charge of the exposition held a conference with Thomas W. Swann, the Negro deposed as secretary two weeks previous. Swann and his attorney wrestled with the problem of straightening out his books and accounting for money handled by him. It developed that John V. Clinnon, the attorney originally employed by Swann, had given up the case. It became known that new bills contracted by Swann without the knowledge of members of the commission had been presented for payment. Total gate receipts during the four weeks of the exposition amounted to about $13,000. The most profitable day was Wednesday, when Mayor Thompson was the speaker. The amount taken in that day was $1,370, representing 5,480 paid admissions at 25 cents each. The cost of the exposition will total approximately $75,000. Of this amount $50,000 was appropriated by the legislature, and the additional amount, exclusive of gate receipts, raised by popular subscription. Our good brother, President Leftwich, who is doing a unique work of phenomenal proportions among the Indians and Negroes of Oklahoma, was at the Hammond congress. He spoke briefly at both auditoriums, and was received with enthusiastic applause. No one hears this humble hero for a moment doubts the feasibility of his stupendous undertaking, or his resourcefulness in carrying it through. Friends who heard him voluntarily contributed $205 of the amount needed to complete his buildings. It is Brother Leftwich's hope that he may be able to extend the helping hand to thousands of young men and women of the Creek Indian and Negro races. President Leftwich is himself an ardent segregationist, and is at work on the problem of lifting up these needy races in a sensible way. His program is similar to that of Booker T. Washington, and so good a judge as P. H. Welshimer declares that he is not second to that great leader in fervor, good rense or eloquence. President Leftwich needs $200 or $300 to complete his buildings—$500 would enable him to start in fine shape. The students are there ready for work, and the teachers available.

The survey of the results of half a century of Negro emancipation in the United States, presented in connection with the convention in Boston of the National Negro Business league, contains impressive statistics. The progress has been especially marked in the last fifteen years, as is shown by an advance from 20,000 Negro business enterprises in 1900 to 45,000, from two banks to 51, from 149 wholesale establishments to 240, from 10,000 retail concerns to 25,000. In the shorter period of ten years the value of farm property owned by Negroes has advanced from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218. The Glasgow Tramway corporation took in last year 689 tons of copper and 87 tons of silver in fares.

CALOMEL WHEN BILIOUS? NO! STOP! ACTS LIKE DYNAMITE ON LIVER I Guarantee "Dodson's Liver Tone" Will Give You the Best Liver and Bowel Cleansing You Ever Had—Doesn't Make You Sick! MAN WANTED Many Positions Carrying Large Salaries are open today to men in every walk of life. But the men must possess vigorous bodies and keen, active minds. Success-making mental and physical activity relies largely upon right living wherein the right kind of food plays a most vital part. In many cases the daily diet lacks certain of Nature's elements essential to energizing and upbuilding the mental and physical faculties. Most white flour products, such as white bread and many other commonly used foods, are in that class. A food especially designed to offset this lack Grape-Nuts made of wheat and malted barley, supplies all the nutriment of the grains, including the mineral salts sturdy builders of brain, nerve and muscle. Grape-Nuts is thoroughly processed, ready to serve from the package, fresh, crisp and delicious. Then, too, there's a wonderful return of the power to "do" and to "be" for the small energy required in its digestion. After repeated set-backs thousands have found a change to right eating means forging ahead. "There's a Reason" for Grape-Nuts Stop using calomel! It makes you sick. Don't lose a day's work.

Take a JUST FORCED TO COME DOWN Reader Will See That Smith's Reason for Descent Was an Entirely Good One. Here is a story that was told by Congressman James C. Cantrill of Kentucky the other afternoon in illustrating a remark on the force of necessity: Recently Smith hired a horse for a canter along the pike, but the animal, having neither a sweet nature nor a great desire to work strenuously, began to buck, and the rider was ungracefully thrown through the air and dropped by the wayside. "Hello, Smith," smilingly remarked a friend the following day; "I saw you out horsebacking yesterday." "You did?" responded Smith, beginning to wonder a bit. "Yes," continued the other, his smile broadening. "What made you drop down so quickly?" "Case of necessity," answered Smith. "Did you see anything up where I was to hold on to?" Location. "What was the weight of that fish you were talking about all summer?" "Which fish?" inquired the unblushing bonster. "The one I had on my line or the one I only had on my mind?"

TWELVE YEARS OF FAILING HEALTH Brought to Happy End. Says the People in Three Counties Know What Cardui Did For Her. Weaverville, N. C.—Mrs. Abbagall Hampton, of this place, says that about 12 years ago she began to take Cardul after having been in failing health for 12 years, during which time she had to take to her bed four days out of each month, and suffered agony; that the doctors told her she must have female trouble and gave her medicine which did her no good and finally insisted on her going to the hospital for treatment. She goes on to say: "I am a large woman, and my ordinary weight, 160 pounds, went down to 135. I got so bad I just dragged around and could scarcely sit up . . . My neighbors all thought I was going to die and would say I couldn't live long. My little daughter thought the same . . . My husband and friends urged me to try Cardul, and he bought me some of it. I began feeling better as soon as I began taking it, and I steadily improved until I was well and strong. I make my garden, do my housework and have cooked for 20 boarders at one time. Am a strong, healthy woman, permanently cured by Cardul. My husband and I can't say enough for Cardul. The people in three counties know what this medicine has done for me, for neither I nor my husband ever cease praising it." Cardul is for sale at all druggists with full directions for use. Try it.

A policeman, with more than usual avoirdupois and expanse of shoe leather, had just passed a little terrace house, with a bit of garden in front, when a little boy ran after him.

A DOCTOR'S EXPERIENCE Medicine Not Needed in This Case. It is hard to convince some people that coffee does them an injury! They lay their bad feelings to almost every cause but the true and unsuspected one. But the doctor knows. His wide experience has proven to him that, to some systems, coffee is an insidious poison that undermines the health. Ask him if coffee is a cause of constipation, stomach and nervous troubles. "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and when taken sick two years ago with nervous prostration, the doctor said that my nervous system was broken down and that I would have to give up coffee. "I got so weak and shaky I could not work, and reading an advertisement of Postum I asked my grocer if he had any of it. He said, 'Yes,' and that he used it in his family and it was all it claimed to be. "So I quit coffee and commenced to use Postum steadily, and in about two weeks I could sleep better and get up in the morning feeling fresh. In about two months I began to gain flesh. I weighed only 146 pounds when I commenced on Postum and now I weigh 167 and feel better than I did at 20 years of age. "I am working every day and sleep well at night. My two children were coffee drinkers, but they have not drank any since Postum came into the house, and are far more healthy than they were before." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

SELLERS, Acting Director of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). LESSON FOR OCTOBER 10 ELIJAH TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN. LESSON TEXT-H klngs 2:112a GOLDEN TEXT-In thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forever more.-Ps. 16:11. This chapter is in type the Christian's chapter. There are two chief divisions: (1) Translation vv. 1:12. (2) reception and use of power vv. 12:25. The event occurred probably 899 B. C. This is a wonderful lesson for youth as it emphasizes that the way to heaven is the way to the best of life. I. Elisha's Testing, vv. 1-8. Since Carmel, Elijah had largely been working according to the "still small voice." He had revived the schools of Samuel, but now in some way notice was sent from God that the time of his departure was at hand. How Elisha learned this fact the record does not suggest, but he had had a great object lesson in Elijah's faithful, step-by-step obedience to Jehovah's word and doubtless was listening keenly for Elijah's words and for the voice of Jehovah. This explains Elisha's tenacity. Gilgal (v. 1) means "wheel"—our reproach rolled away, and is a picture of our salvation (I. Peter 5:7; Ps. 55:22). Elijah had already learned the lesson of being supplanted by a younger man and so he gracefully attails Elisha to follow him. "Bethel," the house of God, was a good place to tarry but not for Elisha at this time. Now (v. 3) fifty "sons"—pupils—of the prophet seek to dissuade Elisha. Knowing something was about to happen, they "stood to view afar off," but were not willing to draw nigh, to follow like Elisha. They thereby failed to reap a rich reward (John 12:26). Jericho (v. 4) means "fragrance." It is the place of temptation (I. Cor. 10:13). This was 14 miles farther and contained a settlement of prophets. Again Elijah and Elisha passed on, the other to the fullness of the Holy Spirit. At Jericho (v. 5) the "sons of the prophet" evidenced greater interest than those at Bethel, but in reply to their challenge Elisha commanded silence. The last difficulty to confront them was Jordan (death), but they do not hesitate, for God had provided even for that contingency. Neither are we to hesitate but willingly "die unto self." Here the aged prophet exercised his supernatural power and they "went over on dry ground" (v. 8). Though this journey seems to have been revealed only stage by stage, yet it was direct to the final goal, and at each stage, though they saw not the end, they knew where to go next. This loyalty of Elisha to Elijah is a great lesson for us to follow in our service of Christ—our privilege of loyalty to his cause and the blessing which will result thereby. No great victory or blessing ever comes without much travail and testing. ii. Elijah's Translation, vv. 9:12a. Even as in the first section we see in type the plan of salvation so in this section we are taught the resultant facts and the experiments which come to us when the blessing is received. Elijah is now encouraged to "ask," yet we have a like promise from a greater than Elijah which we too often neglect (John 14:13, 15:17). Elijah was such a mighty man of prayer (James 5:17, 18) that he was on intimate terms with God and could therefore make such an offer to Elijah (see Acts 8:15, 17). Notice that the "fifty sons of the prophets" who "stood afar off" were not on the right side of the river to receive a like promise or enter into the same fellowship. In a sense this was Elijah's final test, Again Elijah may not have known the plan of God that a man so unlike himself was to take the place of leadership. Elijah said, however, "if thou see me when I am taken from tree," if God gives your spiritual vision to use and to understand, then he will accept you as my successor. There must be persistence to the end and spiritual vision. "As they still went on" Elijah went up, not in a charion but attended by charlots and by a "whirlwind into heaven." (See also Ezek. 1:4; II Kings 6:17). Elijah the man of tempestuous fire and sword, who in his hour of weakness prayed to die, is swept out of sight amid a display of God's power in and through nature. Note the simplicity of the record—one verse—as though such power were a simple and a common thing for Jehovah. The translation of Jesus was quite different and properly so (Acts 1:9; Luke 24:51). "And he saw it." Elijah's eyes were open and he saw his departing chief, therefore he became his successor according to the promise. As a visible proof of his new appointment Elijah let his well-known mantle fall, as he ascended, and Elijah took it and is recognized as Elijah's successor. What is heaven? Read the last chapters of Revelation. Do we live after death? Elijah and Moses on the Mount of Transfiguration, and the resurrected Christ prove that death is but the transference to another field of activity THE TULSA STAR SKIM MILK AS FOOD SKIM MILK AS FOOD ECONOMICAL SOURCE OF NOUR ISHMENT MANY OVERLOOK. Butterfat the Only Nutrient in Whole Milk That Is Lacking in Skim Milk—Extremely Valuable in Cooking. Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture. The possibilities of skim milk as a human food have been rather neglected, according to specialists in the United States department of agriculture. Butterfat is the only nutrient in whole milk that is lacking in skim milk; practically all of the mineral substances, carbohydrates and protein remain in the skim milk. Because of the large proportion of the protein in it, skim milk, like whole milk, may be classed with such foods as eggs, meat, fish, poultry and cheese. Protein not only serves as fuel for the body—a service performed aso by fats, sugars and starches—but also supplies nitrogenous tissue-building material. Two and a half quarts of skim milk contain almost as much protein and yield about as much energy as a pound of round of beef. A quart of skim milk contains more than twice as much nourishment as a quart of oysters which cost several times more. An economical and profitable combination is an oyster stew made with skim milk. In cooking there is indeed little or no difference in taste between skimmed and unskimmed milk. In the making of cereal mashes, for instance, the use of skim milk in place of water adds greatly to the nutritious value, particularly by raising the amount of tissue-forming materials. In making milk soups, chowders, custards and cakes, also, it can be profitably used. In chowders the lack of fat is made up by the use of salt pork. The following recipe for corn chowder calls for no ingredients that are difficult to secure and will be found attractive and nourishing. One can of corn or one pint of fresh corn, grated, four cupups potatoes, cut into small pieces, two ounces salt pork, one small onion, chopped, four cupups skim milk, one tablespoonful salt, four ounces crackers. Cut the pork into small pieces and fry it with the onion until both are a delicate brown. Add the potatoes and corn; cover with water, and cook until the vegetables are soft. Add the milk and salt, and reheat. It is well to allow the crackers to soak in the milk while the potatoes and corn are being cooked. Some people cook the cobs from which the corn has been removed, in water, and later use this water for cooking the potatoes and corn. In recommending skim milk as food, the fact should always be kept in mind that it has gone through one more process in the course of its preparation for family use than whole milk has—that of separation or skimming. This, in the case of a food material so liable to become contaminated and to be the carrier of disease, is a very important matter, and the consumer should take even more pains than in buying whole milk, to know that it has been carefully handled, particularly if it is to be used raw. The provisions of the food and drugs act and common honesty require that skim milk should be sold for what it is, and never for whole milk. It should be plainly labeled as skim milk. To sell it as whole milk would not only be a violation of the federal food and drugs act, in cases where that law applies, but also a violation of the state law in any state where it might be sold. Blackberry Cordial Mash the blackberries and cook slowly without water for half an hour. Strain and measure the juice. To each quart add half a pint of sugar, half a teaspoonful of cinnamon, one fourth of a teaspoonful of ground cloves, and half a nutmeg, grated. Boil half an hour, cool and add a gill of brandy. Bottle and keep in a cool place. This is excellent for elderly people or for patients with a tendency to bowel trouble. One-Egg Cake. Cream one-quarter cupful of butter, add gradually half a cupful of sugar, beating thoroughly. Add one egg, well beaten, one and a half cupful flour, two and a half teaspoonfuls baking powder, alternately with half a cupful of milk. Beat until well mixed only. Bake in a buttered floured shallow pan, then ice. A. Dainty Hint. The odor of soap that often clings to clothes is not at all desirable. A lump of orris root put in the rinsing water for fine pieces such as handkerchiefs, lingerie and blouses will give a delicate violet perfume more permanent than that of the ordinary sachet. Peaches and Rice. Arrange a mound of boiled rice in the middle of a dish. Have ready on the ice some sliced, sweetened peaches. Put the peaches around the rice and pour their juice, formed with sugar, over the mound and rice. Curtains are easily run on brass rods if a thimble is first placed on the end of the rod. Peaches and Oranges For a tempting dessert, slice to gether peaches and oranges. Sweeter, slightly and serve very cold. The Rupture. Knicker—Fire the cook?
