The greatest reception ever held in Muskogee, in honor of one of its citizens was given in honor of Rep. J. W. Curty pastor of Ward's chapel. Those in charge of the affair spared no pains in making preparations for the occasion, each department of the church being represented by its best talent, it was one of the most classical affairs seen in Muskogee for sometime. Short addresses were delivered by some of Muskogee's greatest orators. The decorations were artistically arranged to suit the occasion. The pastor was indeed pleased with the reception and welcomed each in his turn, saying but the glory and honor belonged to the Lord, after the ceremonies R. E.

Dr. L. H. Johnston of Coweta, has aga n demonstrated his ability as a physician and surgeon in a manner that puts him in the front ranks with other men of his profession. The case which gave him the opportunity to do this was that of Dan Ford a youth who lives on North Hartford street. About six months ago Dan, who is nearly seven feet perpendicular, complained of a hurting in the back of his neck. The pain grew worse, his neck became stiff and the family called in a doctor—a white doctor—to treat him. The doctor came and after an examination said the trouble was caused by excessive growth, that the boy was growing too fast. The boys parents took it for granted that he knew what he was talking about and wafted patiently for the wise doctor to eradicate the cause. In the meantime the boy grew worse, and finally when the boy could not move his head another white doctor, who agreed with the first one, and they continue the treatment to stop the boy from growing. The boy continued to grow worse and his brother who knew Dr. Johnston, the Colored physician—persuaded him to examine his brother. Dr. Johnston came and examined the boy and told his parents that the real trouble was a follicular abscess in an advanced stage and that there was just one chance in a hundred to save his life, but told them that he believed he could save the boy if the boy would live long enough for him to get him on the operating table. The parents finally consented and the boy was rushed to the Morrison's Sanitarium at Muskogee, and the operation per formed. The doctor opened the boys neck and removed a pint or more of puss, and the boy's now doing well laughing and talking and turning head in any direction. This is a case of the Colored doctor knowing more than the white ones. FOR SALE. One ladies black chichilla coat, plush trimmed, satin finish, size 40. Never worn. A bargain.

Cook the custards and on top of each place two spoonfuls of the fig mixture, cover with a meringue or whipped cream and serve cold. Chopped dates and figs, mixed with chopped nuts and a little cream to make it of spreading consistency is fine for sandwich filling. Dates on top of coffee cake, with raisins, makes a most dainty and wholesome breakfast dish. Fig Loaf Cake.—Take two cupfuls of chopped figs, two cupfuls of sugar, a half cupful of butter, a cupful of milk, four cupfuls of flour, four eggs, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, mix as usual and bake in a loaf. Date Pie.—Make a rich pastry shell and bake it. Fill with the following mixture: Wasin a pound of dates, heat them (after removing the stones) in a quart of milk, when soft run through a sieve and add one egg well beaten, a pinch of salt, and pour into the baked shell. Cover with whipped cream and serve cold. Dates and figs added to a simple apple and celery salad add much of richness and flavor to it. Stuffed dates may be made with fondant for filling or cream cheese. Figs stewed in water and lemon juice with a little sugar, make a most delicious sauce to serve on ice cream. In fact these fruits can hardly be out of place, they are so well liked. The simple curled bacon seems to be somewhat of a puzzle to many cooks. To prepare it first have it cut very thin; the butcher will do this on the dried beef cutter. Then place it on ice to chill. Have a heavy iron frying pan very hot and stir constantly while cooking. Tip the pan while it is cooking, so that it may not stew in its own grease. Bacon should always be served dry and crisp enough to eat from the fingers. Broiled Ham—Cut thin slice from ham and cover with sour milk and let stand over night. In the morning rinse well and broil over coals or in a hot pan. In either case the cooking should be done quickly and the ham browned. Fried Chicken With Olive Sauce. Cut up well-dressed chicken, dip in seasoned flour and brown in butter, then cook slowly until thoroughly done. Serve with olive sauce. Olive Sauce.—Brown two tablespoonfuls each of onion and carrot in a tablespoonful of butter, add a tablespoonful of flour and brown. Stir in a cupful of stock, that from beef extract will do if no other is at hand, and cook until smooth. Add one dozen stuffed olives and let stand until the olives are well heated through. Planked Whitefish.—Heat and oil a plank made for this purpose; oak or maple make suitable boards. Spread upon this board skin-side down a whitefish, cleaned and split down the under side; brush over with butter or oil, and set in the dripping pan under the gas; after cooking a few minutes remove to the floor of the oven to finish cooking. Cook about twenty-five minutes, basting often. Set the fish on the plank upon a platter, spread with butter that has been mixed with lemon juice in the proportion of three tablespoonfuls of butter to one of lemon juice, season with salt and pepper and serve piping hot. Garnish the edge of the plank with mashed potato, put through a pastry bag and tube. Parsley and lemon is used to finish the decoration.

The ideal situation for the kitchen is considered by popular opinion to be with north and east exposure. Nowadays we want a kitchen, if it be not to be used as a dining room, to be small, so that time and strength may be saved in the with north and east exposure. Nowadays we want a kitchen, if it is not to be used as a dining room, to be small, so that time and strength may be saved in the preparation of meals. The sink and table, stove and cupboards should be within speaking distance of each other. The dining room should open directly into the kitchen or pantry between so that the shortest possible routing would be accomplished in serving a meal. Windows should be plentiful and so placed that plenty of light and ventilation could be obtained. Artificial light should be planned to fall where it is most needed, over sink and stove and table. If swing doors are placed between the kitchen and dining room the kitchen need never be in view when sitting at the dining table. The floor should be covered with linoleum or finished in such a way that scrubbing is unnecessary. Tables and sink as well as stove and ironing board should be of the height to suit the person to use them. Over the sink a shelf with hooks beneath to hold all the much-used things like a soap shaker, measuring cups, dipper, dish mop, and potato masher, may be easily placed. On top of this shelf have your scales, a small clock, pretty receptacles for pepper and salt and the much used condiments. The best arranged kitchens are those with plenty of cupboard space to shut from the dust all utensils that are not washed twice or three times a day. If the cupboards are not so close that the dishes may be wiped and set at once to the shelves have a small table with casters to move about. This same table will be invaluable to have near the stove when cooking, and should be covered with zlnc. A wheeled tray or tea cart is another most convenient utensil to save steps as it can be loaded with food for the table and remove it and the soiled dishes attor the meal, with but one or two trips. The best quality of tea leaves must have creases like the leathern boot of the Tartar horseman, curls like the dewlap of a mighty bullock, unfold like a mist rising out of a ravine, gleam like a lake touched by a zephyr, and soft like fine earth newly swept by rain. - Lauwh, a Japanese Poet. TEA MAKING AN ART. Every woman longs for the dainty appointments of a pretty tea table, but do not wait to realize these longings, but serve tea to your friends with the equipment at hand. A sewing table, lunch cloth, tea tray, teapot and a few pretty cups will be sufficient. The tea wagon is, of course, a wonderful assistance. On this may be placed do not wait to realize these longings, but serve tea to your friends with the equipment at hand. A sewing table, lunch cloth, tea tray, teapot and a few pretty cups will be sufficient. The tea wagon is, of course, a wonderful assistance. On this may be placed the small cakes, creamer and sugar bowl, teaspoons and cups and saucers. Cups may be had that are artistic and shapely from ten cents to as many dollars, but the tea tastes as well from the ten-cent one and if one is broken, your heart is not. Tea is served at four o'clock so that it does not interfere with the six o'clock dinner and is not a meal in any sense. The correct way of preparing tea is to take the freshly drawn water at the first boil, scald the teapot, then add tea a teaspoonful for each person and one for the pot; cover with the water, then let stand five minutes, add enough water to serve, allow it to stand a minute then pour. If you desire to make the tea with a tea ball it may then be served of required strength to suit the individual taste. A pretty pitcher of hot water is another requisite, as well as a bowl to empty the tea for a fresh cup. Tea served in a moderate quantity, not too strong, is a fatigue remover as well as a nerve soother. Serve cream rather than milk as it makes a great difference in the flavor. Those who enjoy Russian tea with the lemon will take a clove or two. A pretty way to add flavor as well as sugar is to rub the cubes of sugar over orange or lemon rinds to absorb the volatile oils. --- R LADIES OF F A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of Friends of the Tuls TRIMMINGS IN FAVOR FUR COLLARS AND CUFFS ON THE FLIMSIEST FROCKS. Chiffon Voile or Cloth Has Attained Great Popularity—Description of One of the Most Effective of Latest Designs. Thin gowns carry little adornment in the way of white at the neck. Nearly all of them fasten straight up to the neck after the manner of the coats, or have a single flaring collar of white or glandle that goes out sharply from the neckband and reaches to the tips of the ears. Fur is used for collars and cuffs, even on the filiestm of frocks, and it is arranged to turn down when there is a high coat collar with which to reckon. Chiffon voile or cloth is made up into morning gowns to wear under any kind of warm coat as a substitute for the regulation coat suit. The wearing quality of this weave of chiffon has been satisfactorily proved, and women like it as well, if not better, than serge. It is lavishly trimmed with ribbon, usunall, of velvet, although the ribbed silk ribbons are effective. Rows of it are placed around the skirt, as a belt, cuffs, and sometimes as a plaiting placed below the hem. One of the most effective of these chiffon frocks for afternoon wear which will be copied here in many colors with different fur is moleskin chiffon with a gathered skirt flowing into soft fullness at the ankles and run with vertical graded bands of moleskin. The points reach toward the waist, but end about six inches below it. The blouse has collar and cuffs of the same fur, and there is a girdle of moleskin velvet. In all these gowns the sleeves are long. There is no experimenting with the length, but a vast variety of experiments are made with the shape and the trimming. Paquin features sleeves and produces a dozen or more good ideas. The modified leg $\sigma'$-mutton is universally used. CUSHION FOR THE HATPINS Now That These Ornaments Are So Large Some Such Receptacio Is Absolutely Necessary. An ordinary pincushion is not much use for hatpins because, unless it is a very large cushion, the weight of the heads of the pins will cause it to fall over. Our sketch shows a practical little cushion for this purpose that will not fall over, on account of its weight. It is made from an ordinary jam jar. The jar in the first place is covered with thin silk, the material being fastened on just inside and underneath the jar with a strong adhesive. The edge and the base of the jar are next finished off with a plaited silk cord. As the heavier the weight of this little article the better, the jar can be filled with sand, shot, or anything of weight, and then the remaining part filled with cotton wool and covered in at the top with some pretty little remnant of brocade. The colors of the material are a matter of choice, but this little cushion looks very pretty carried out with pale pink silk and gold cord, and covered in at the top with colored brocade. DETAIL GAVE GARMENT CHARM Delicate Finishing Touches Made All the Difference in Looks of Simple Blouse. One thing, and it is of vast importance, the insistent simpler dressing has brought to the surface, and that is the value of fine, delicate finishing touches, writes Mrs. Jack May. The other day I picked up a slightly soiled gray Georgette blouse at one of the exclusive houses, and wondered for the space of a second or so why it was so attractive. For the style was simplicity itself, the front and back united on the shoulders beneath an applied band, the fullness of the latter lidd in a series of small boxplates, and the fronts just slightly gathered and faced back with broad, loose pieces of gray faille. There were deep cuffs and a high up-and-down collar of the faille, cut away in front, and supported by a narrow cavat of black moire ribbon. It all, I admit, sounds nothing --- People who are aware that they are in the right need never lose their temper. Do without stimulants.

EMPLOY CARE IN SELECTING Stout Woman Must Keep In Mind the Fact That All Styles Are Not for Her. The stout woman who has pride is ever on the alert for a style of dress that will be especially becoming to her. One afternoon gown that suggests length of line is made of white crepe de chine. It is made in two sections, the upper one giving a coat effect and extending down to within eight inches of the bottom of the under section. The coat section is made with two plaits down either side of the front and the back. The spaces between the box plaits are diled in with small tucks which, like the box plaits, extend from the shoulder line to the bottom of the upper section of the dress. Through slots made beneath the box plaits a narrow green velvet belt is passed and allowed to hang loosely. The sleeves are long and pointed at the wrist, a feature that every stout woman should demand in having her gowns made. Flowing cuffs or circular trimmings should not be seen on sleeves intended to cover stout arms. New Flowered Ribbons New Powered Ribbons. The new ribbons are lovely, some flowered, some striped, some plain with plicot edge. Others again show an edge of gold or silver, following the trend of fashion for all things metallic. Double-faced ribbons are smart, showing two colors, and one side of satin, the other of moire or faille. Evenings gowns are trimmed with ribbon, tailored and perky bows are made of them, negligees are bound with ribbon. Plaid ribbon in inch width trims the new fall blouses of Georgette crepe or net, and forms a bow and band to hold the high collar in position. A similar band and bow holds the sleeves in at the wrist. Finger Tip Lengths. The new 'finger tip' length for coats is gauged by stretching the arms down straight at the sides, the point the finger tips reach determining the coat's length. Grenadier blue is a deep tone, heightened by green and then dulled by gray. Very popular in cloths, heavy silks and ribbons for tailored millinery. Grenadier Blue. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Home owning and the reduction of mortality among Negroes go hand in hand. What Hampton and other schools have declared to be sound in theory is now found to be true in practice; namely, education, to be truly worth while, must furnish results in the shape of well and happy people living in clean, attractive Christian homes. The Negro death rate in the registration area, according to the census of 1910, was 25.5 per 1,000 population—a decrease as compared with the rate in 1900, which was 29.4. The white death rate in the same territory was 14.5 per 1,000 population. While, therefore, there is some reason for rejoicing, the fight against the high Negro death rate must be even more intelligently directed. More attention must be given to Negro housing, the care of consumptives, the feeble-minded and other handicapped classes, child conservation and public health education. The figures from selected cities show, with few exceptions, a decrease, according to the census of 1910, in the Negro death rate as compared with that shown by the 1900 census. A study of typical southern cities discloses, however, in spite of a decreasing Negro death rate, a health problem which white and colored people must face bravely, intelligently and immediately. When Negroes are dying at least as fast again as their white neighbors, there is no health security for educated and wealthy people, regardless of their color. Better health for Negroes! This cry should be heeded by school and health officers, business and professional men, church and Sunday school workers, indeed, by all classes of citizens, regardless of race or creed. "The question as to whether the decrease in mortality among Negroes in 1910 as compared with 1900," says a recent bulletin issued by the census bureau, "was due to permanent causes, such as improved housing conditions, better medical attention, and generally improved sanitary conditions, and not to the absence of epidemics, is an important and interesting one." Then follows this significant statement, and the figures which accompany it warrant a respectful hearing: "Undoubtedly one of the factors which have caused the decrease in the Negro death rate is the increase in home ownership among the Negro population." Alabama and Virginia, in which Tuskegee and Hampton are located, make a good showing. In Alabama Negroes owned, in 1910, 33,341 homes (including 17,227 farmhouses), an increase of 44.2 per cent over 1900, or one owned home for every 27 Negro inhabitants. In Virginia there were, in 1910, 56,933 homes (including 23,528 farmhouses), an increase of 23.1 per cent over 1900, or one owned home for every 12 Negro inhabitants. For the southern states as a whole, the figures were, in 1910: Total owned homes of Negro families, 430,449 (including 212,507 farmhouses), an increase of 31.4 per cent over 1900, or one owned home for every 20 Negro inhabitants. To offset this good record for whole groups of states and for the entire South, there is the clearest kind of evidence that the city Negro is not essentially a home owner, despite the lowering Negro death rate in typical cities. Important work remains to be done, not only in forcing down and down the Negro death rate, but also in helping the Negro, rural as well as urban, to own his home. The good work of reducing Negro mortality through home owning should be con- The United States treasury department has started out to defeat the scheme of certain persons operating in the South who are collecting money from former slaves by telling them they are entitled to share in a fund of $68,000,000, an amount said to have been collected in Civil war times as an internal revenue tax on raw cotton. "There is no fund of $68,000,000 or any other sum in the treasury of the United States for former slaves or their heirs, or for any other persons who worked in the cotton fields of the South." declared an official statement issued over the signature of Secretary McAdoo. The former slaves, according to the statement, are informed by the persons behind the project that a part of the alleged fund is due them on account of labor performed by them during the years from 1859 to 1868. Those who would make the collections for the former slaves or their heirs generally propose the institution of a suit in the District supreme court against the secretary of the treasury with utter disregard, it is said, of the fact that, it is a familiar law that a suit of this nature There are still three survivors of the original Mormon band to find its way into the valley of the Great Salt lake in 1847.

Antipathy to the Negro and unjust abuse of him is born of misconception of his place in southern industrial life. What truth there is in charges made to the grand jury of abuses practiced by city officials against Negro prisoners this writer does not know. But the picture-drawn by charges of beatings inflicted, of property confiscated and of general mistreatment of ignorant and unprotected blacks closely parallels the hideous picture of the Black Hole of Calcutta, and constitutes a blot upon the record of this boasted section of civilization. The Negro is yet a ward of this nation, of the white men who compose, guide and direct it, and he is entitled to the protection and care of the courts and of society. He is, too, an important integral part of our industrial life. By his labor the South has prospered, the fires of industry have been kindled and kept alive. He guides the plow in thousands of fields. He delves deep into the bowels of the earth and brings forth treasure for the people. That many Negroes are ignorant is no fault of theirs; that many are vicious is but a natural tendency of the human race, both white and black. Yet the Negro must ever be regarded as a producer, especially in this Southland of ours. Remove him from the industrial fields of the South, and the loss would fall heavily upon capital and progress would be retarded. It is thought that the Bessmer case is not the only one that should be ventilated and punishment follow. The fee system has long oppressed the Negro, and many are the victims of injustice at the hands of official oppressors. The strong hand of the law should be invoked to protect the oppressed, and intelligence and morality should demand fairness for blacks and for whites alike. Let it be remembered that dependence between whites and blacks is mutual in this great industrial district, and to discourage and drive one class would work serious hardships to the other. The bone and sinew of blacks directed by the brain and capital of whites constitutes the driving force in our march of progress. Is it not probable that such abuses as those alleged against Bessemer officials cause criminal Negroes to so often shoot and kill deputy sheriffs and policemen while in the disloquence of their duties in making arrear.—Bessemer (Ala.) Weekly. There are 278 libraries in Massachusetts which have been gifts to the communities, and the donor of 33 is Mr. Carnegie.

Probably the longest and most luxuriant beard in the world is that of Zachary T. Wilcox of Carson City, Nev., a veteran of the Civil war.

Ordinarily it is worn wrapped around a piece of cardboard and thrust under the owner's vest. against an officer of the government is a suit against the government itself, and the government cannot be sued. Suit already has been filed by four persons. The treasury statement, however, expressed the opinion that it is "more than probable that the case will be dismissed by the court on a preliminary motion." Some of the most enterprising farmers in the state are colored men and it is characteristic of them that when they once establish a record they hold to it. Such is the case with G. W. Kistler, a colored farmer of Cumberland county. For a number of years he has been the seller of the first bale of new cotton on the Fayetteville market, and he has just repeated the performance for the present season. Should Kistler ever lose the record, the Observer would confess to disappointment. The Negro who holds a record in any line of good endeavor deserves the encouragement of his white neighbors and friends, and generally has it—at least that is the sentiment in this section of the state.

SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course of Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1915, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 14 DANIEL IN THE KING'S COURT. LESSON TEXT-Daniel 18-16, 19, 20 GOLDEN TEXT-Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. -I Cor. 16:13. This familiar story has been selected for the "World's Temperance Sun-Jay"—it is the first record of his Babylonian experiences and is an illustrious example of those everlasting principles which govern a successful life. I. Daniel's Position, vv. 1-7. Nebuchadnezzar, on the death of his father, returned to Babylon from besieging Jerusalem to take the throne. He carried with him Jehoiakim and a number of young men, "in whom was no blemish" (14). They were perhaps twelve years old. Among these were four who had been particularly selected for pious training and the name of each is compounded with the name of God; Daniel's meaning—"God is my judge." They are now alone in a licentious heathen palace and absolutely at the power of the king and his court. Their names are now changed; Daniel becomes Belteshazzar—"favored of Bel." Such changings of names is customary in most heathen or Mohammedan lands even today. A still greater danger or temptation confronts these young men, viz., that the king appointed them "a daily portion of the king's meat" (Am. Rev. v. 5). To refuse to eat invited ridicule and perhaps loss of life, but to eat was to break the Jewish law as to food (Deut. 12:23-25). See also (I Cor. 8:7-10; 10:27-28). Their captivity had been foretold (II Kings 20:17), but a change of location and name does not involve a change of heart as many a tempted one has discovered. These men in spite of natural appetites, danger of being thought peculiar, or even gratitude to king for lives preserved refused to eat the king's meat and to drink his wine. II. Daniel's Purpose, 18:13. The real purpose of a man's heart not alone governs his acts but reveals what he is—God looks upon that when he judges men (II Cor. 9:7; 8:12; Luke 16:15). "Without will (purpose) there is no character." (Acts 11:23). Daniel purposed "in his heart" not to defile "himself." No compromise, no trimming because of being away from home, no partnership with the rich and opulent court. Daniel was to be "as clean as a hound tooth." Men who dare to stand alone always find co-operation, so Daniel found those who stood by him (v. 12). Daniel exercised great tact in his dealings with the prince of the eunuchs but God had evidenced his protecting and leading care (v. 9) enabling him to win his way and persuade the eunuch to allow the suggested test (v. 12). If Christian workers would exercise more tact they would more frequently attain their desired ends (Luke 16:8). It is possible to be so unbendingly putitanal as to lay us open to a charge of pharsalical pride. Daniel illustrates spotless purity, inflexible loyalty mingled with a sweet reasonableness that always gains its ends. Daniel had sufficient confidence in his God and faith in his actions to be willing to be submitted to the acid test of experience. His was a religion that could stand without being tied. III. Daniel's Profit (Reward), vv. 14:21. Pulse denotes such vegetables as beans and peas. Their diet was to be a general vegetable one. Samson as a Nazarite drank no wine. This age has yet to fully comprehend the reasonableness and efficacy of those ancient Jewish laws of sanitation and diet. Myriads of men are today digging their graves with their teeth. The result of this test was that Daniel and his companions were delivered from transgressing God's laws and the prince of the eunuchs from being punished because of the physical condition of his charges. Beauty, health and strength came to Daniel and his friends with the result of preferment, position, and influence at court (v. 19). They "stood before the king." (Rom. 14:10:21 I Cor. 3:10:15 II Cor. 5:9) because of their unwerving loyalty to God and obedience to his Word (John 14:15: 16:26 R. V); (b) because of their life of prayer, for it is the work of the Holy Spirit to give unto us wisdom (Luke 2:15, Acts 6:10) even as Daniel was thus blessed (v. 17) the spirit bestows diverse gifts (I Cor. 12:14:11); (c) and finally be cause having a special place in the purposes and plans of God their lives were counted precious in his sight (v. 27). Verily, "He that doeth the will of God abideth forever." Temperance Application.—This less son suggests the value of total abstinence. "No user of tobacco has ever taken first honor at Harvard."—Longfellow. Temperance and self-control must begin in the home and be perpetuated in the strength and power of God which alone comes through an intelligent knowledge and obedience of his Word. There is no way to win success except by means of a complete victory; to compromise is to fall. The loyalty of such is not earth born and their victories are superhu man. Olive, aged four years, went for a walk with her father one June morning. Hearing a bird singing by the roadside, she stopped to admire his beautiful black-and-white coat. "Oh, papa!" she exclaimed, "see this bobolink!" "How do you know it's a bobolink?" asked her father. "Cause I 'stinctly heard it bobble,' was the reply.

Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of VERY MUCH IN WRONG "BATH" Guest's Mistake, It Will Be Under- Stood, Was Not a Thing to Be Wildly Advertised. Smythe's mistake, which is described in an English contemporary, must have been disconcerting, to say the least. "You'll find your bath in the out- ouse." Thus he had been directed the night before at the little inn where he was stopping, and that is why he was now, in his dressing gown, pushing open the outhouse door. It was dark, but there was the tub, and it would do. He hopped in. In the middle of his ablutions the red faced landlord thrust his head in at the door. In the dim light he failed to see the man in the tub. "Water quite nicely warm, thanks," observed Smythe, "but it's a trifle muddy." "Muddy he hanged!" roared the landlord, bursting in suddenly. "Your tub's in the next place. Git out of it, you blitherin' idiot! Not a word of this in the 'ouse, mind! not a word of this in the 'ouse! That's my 'ome-brewed ale you're a-washin' in!" The Case. "Matrimony seemed largely incidental to Henry VIII's career." "I should call it more axe-idental." Curative Value In Food? One of the errors in the diet of many people is the use of foods robbed of the vital mineral salts (phosphate of potash, etc.) which are absolutely necessary for proper balance of body, brain and nerves. The result is a long list of ills, including nervous prostration, kidney trouble, constipation, rickets in children, and so on. Twenty years ago a whole wheat and barley food, containing all the nutriment of the grain, including the priceless mineral elements, was devised especially to correct errors in diet. That food is Another physician says: This wholesome food not only builds sturdy health and strength, but fortifies the system against disease. Ready-to-eat, nourishing, economical, delicious— The earliest use of deleterious gases in siege warfare is recorded in the history of the Peloponnesian wars from 431 to 404 B. C. During this struggle between the Athenians and Spartans and their respective allies the cities of Platea and Delium were besieged. Wood saturated with pitch and sulphur was set on fire and burned under the walls of these cities in order to generate choking and poisonous fumes which would stupefy the defenders and render the task of the attacking forces less difficult.

"When Germany told us we Americans might cross the seas in safety provided we used such ships as she offered, I nearly died laughing," he said. "I was irresistibly reminded of the poet who complained to his landlord: 'Landlord, I really must insist on your repairing my doors and windows. They close so badly that it interrupts my work. It blows my hair all about my face.' 'Humph,' said the landlord. 'The easiest way out of that difficulty is for you to get your hair cut off.'"—New York Times.

THERE IS NO MAN in Tulsa big enough to successfully buck the Business League, and he sounds his own doom who does it. SOME MEN are too small for leaders and too "big" for followers and because of their smallness and bigness they never get anywhere and never do anything worth while for their community. Does this mean YOU? FRIEND NICK CHILES, the live wire of the Topeka Plain-dealer, has called a number of states governors in question on their attitude to members of the race as militiamen. Its not an equal chance to fight in the U.S. army that we want. Its an equal chance at our rights as private American citizens. An equal chance for our boys and girls in all vocations of life. The time is near at hand when they will be anxious to form Colored companies of militia in every state in the union. Let us now demand the other essential things! Judging from present political signs, taken from surface indications there will be a special session of the legislature sometime soon probably in January. There is considerable speculation as to the real cause for calling this special session, but it is commonly agreed among politicians that the paramount issue for this extraordinary session will be election law legislation. Such legislation, it is claimed by some, weak kneed ill-informed and radical democrats, is necessary to forestall the Negro vote. This contention is proved erroneous however, in light of the fact that more than 60 per cent of the Negroes of Oklahoma are democrats and socialists leaving less than 40 per cent of the black phalanx in the republican trenches. A census of the Colored voters of Oklahoma would verify this statement. Negroes of this state as a whole, are an intelligent people, and they have long since learned the tricks of politicians. They are no longer slaves, as a race, to any political party, but like good, true, sensible men, have become diversified in politics and are now strong factors in all the parties. In view of these facts, it would hardly be expected the special session of the legislature will be chiefly to legislate against Negro voters. In fact, any election law passed by the law-makers of this state must apply to all citizens with equal fairness, and the Negro is able to undergo any kind of fair test qualifying his right to vote under these circumstances. The Negro realizes he has friends in the democratic party and he has shown his appreciation by alleging himself with that party and encouraging this friendship. It would be well for the leaders of the party to bear this in mind in future deliberations and lay aside this absurd political fear of their Colored brothers and show a further disposition to be fair with them in all things. But what has become of Gov. Williams inaugural "Economy plan?" THE GUARDIANSHIP FIGHT. TH ESTAR'S FIGHT in the guardianship matters of Oklahoma, is meeting with popular favor among all people, except the grafting white guardians of Negro children, and their henchmen in the County courts, and of course nobody expects them to looko favorably upon our fight. Every fair minded white man in the state, however, who is honest with himself, must admit that our fight for the Colored minors of this state who are being robbed by unscriptulous and careless white guardians, is a righteous one and deserves the attention of the best white people of the state. There is no need and no just cause for white men serving as guardians for Colored children in Oklahoma. There is a distinct line of demarkation between the races which is readily and willingly recognized in nearly every other avenue in Oklahoma by the white man, but when they get a chance to handle the funds of a wealthy Negro child they fall over each other in the scramble for the plum. True enough, a few ignorant parents of these children ask for white men to be guardians of their children, but in practically every case the white men they ask for have prearranged everything with them, beguiling them with flowery promises or intimidating them in some way after a mutual understanding between the applicant for guardian and the judge of the County court. Then when the appointment is made the interest of the ward is lost in the combined interests of the guardian and his official benefactor. This system of graft is not new in Oklahoma. It is the biggest graft in the state today. A splendid example of this system was very fittingly exemplified in Muskogee recently when a two story stone building was purchased by white guardian for a colored ward for the haindsome sum of $120,000.00, making two buildings to be bought in Muskogee during the last six months by white guardians for Colored children, for the aggregate of $177,000.00, enough to buy any two blocks in Muskogee, at the present valuation of real estate there. This is the system the Star is fighting and we expect to continue the fight until victory is won or hope of success is entirely lost. The organization of the "Negro Guardianship League" here last week afords new inspiration for us in this fight and if the people who are most concerned will cooperate with this league victory is almost certain, because there are enough fair minded white people to swing the results in our favor.

Fairview Dairy. An editor of a New York magazine recently received a story of which the scene was said in the state of Washington. He wished to have the story illustrated and in order to obtain the best local detail he sent the manuscript to a young artist out in Washington. Before doing so, however, he scrawled hastily across the top of the first page the address of the writer, which did not otherwise appear on the manuscript. It was "Shelton Wash." With the story the editor sent a letter asking the artist to write a wash drawing of a certain Three miles from town The only Colored dairy in Tulsa county.

Among the county officials of Tulsa county probably none are better or more favorably known than James W. Wooley, the popular sheriff of Tulsa county. A resident of Tulsa county for the past 25 years he knows every nook and corner in the county and is personally acquainted with nearly every voter in the county. His friends are almost as numerous as his acquaintances, because to know him is to be his friend. The sheriff of Tulsa county is a high office but the man who tells the position never feels above the humbleest citizen who may go into his office on business. Always affable he never overlooks an opportunity to speak a cheering word to those who seek him out to tell their troubles. For four years he served as one of the commissioners of Tulsa county and not a single citizen has ever complained of his services while in that capacity. He has always stood for the best interest and welfare of the people as a whole of Tulsa county. After four years of good faithful service as county commissioners his friends prevailed with him to run for sheriff, right judging that he would be the strongest man in the county. He announced, made the race and his election followed. FIRE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT CANT Mr. Woolley spent his earlier life in Tulsa county as a rancher, a cattle man, coal miner, etc., and has also took a dip in the oil and gas business. He knows the cow boy life and was at one time a favorite among the cowboys in this part of the country.

Muskogee News The "Forum Club" Redivivus. Last Sunday in the rooms of the Colored Public Library in the Carter Building a small group of the faithful and preserving in racial uplift movements gathered for the reestablishing a Forum Club. We say re-establishing for the reason that nearly, if not fully ten years ago, such a Forum Club was organized by Mrs. L. C. Clark and aided by Mrs. Myrtle Todd, Miss Alice Robertson, Mr. Samuel D. Hooker and others, well known then and also today, held a number of very successful meetings in the Jones Building Hall. This time the movement is being led by Mr. G. H. Ambrose, president of the Exchange Insurance Company, and the meeting of last Sunday is due to his efforts Temporary officers for the Forum Club were selected as follows: Chairman, G. H. Ambrose, Secretary, Mrs. L. C. Clark, Treasurer, A. C. Perdue. Treasurer, A. C. Perdue. The object and purposes of the organization were discussed generally and the work divided up under the following superintendents: Education, Mr. W. G. Sneed. Society, Mr. W. G. Sneed. Religious, Dr. E. A. Wilson. Dr. E. A. Wilson was also made Chairman of the Executive Committee. The next meeting of the Forum Club is set for November 21st (Sunday) from 4 to 5, and the following program will be carried out: Song, congregation; invocation; song; object of club, by Dr. Wilson; music; recitation; report of heads of departments. Carter Hall will be place for the meeting. The Old Fight for Sequoyah. The old fight for making of Eastern Oklahoma into the state of Sequoyah was revived in memory the other day by the statement in the Phoenix that Frank Reed had presided over a meeting ten years ago on that same day. It was in the Sequoyah contest in which quite a number of present day Negro leaders participated, and it is to be supposed that some who then action" Success ture Co. IT HOUSE" to Early Buyers Week TERS WN EEK $1 Get Your Pick d, Proprietor KLAHOMA opposed Sequoyah have lived to regret it as certainly conditions could not have been worse for the Negro than they are today, and the conditions might have been better Who can tell? Other incidents that are worthy of recollection are: The earnest and eloquent advocacy of "mixed" public schools by Warrior Rentie and the trimming of the tail feathers of the orator from Indiana, Marks, the Land Man, by the little but mighty attorney, J. H. Stevens, now of Okmulgee. A Flourishing Business Section. Whatsoever may have happened to other parts of Muskegue, the appearances all go to show that the section of town west of 6th and South of Elgin streets is a prosperous section for Negro merchants, especially in the grocery line. While not more than a block distant from one another there are fully ten good sized grocery stores, all doing good business. The leading merchants are the Messrs. G. W. Maxie, J. B. Fue, J. R Boddie, Fraank Hawkins and W. V. Gentry. THE BOY SCOUTS under the leadership of Dr. Gentry are planning to give a public entertainment at an early date. MR. W. E.

Waring and Davis and the Messrs. Brown and Stewart and their families with rides over the city and country in their touring cars. THE FRIENDS of Dr. Robert Williams are congratulating him over a very successful treatment of a difficult dental case last week. THE LOCAL branch of the N. A. 9. C. P., J. W.

Considerable interest is manifested by the students in the various religious exercises that are conducted in the Institution. Sunday school is conducted on Sunday morning at 10 in the Study Hall. Preaching at 11 in the Auditorium; at 3 o'clock the Y. W. C. A. meets in the auditorium and the Y. M. C. A. meets in the study hall, at 7 o'clock prayer meeting in the dining hall. The exercises are entirely non-sectarian. The intentions and purposes are quite obvious. Prof. Estelle, dean of the Agricultural Department, is a very busy man these beautiful autumn days.

"FIGHTING GHOST" TO MEET HARRY LINDSEY IN 15 ROUND BOUT NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT The coming bout between Harry Lindsey and Jeff Clark, the Panama Champion, known as the "fighting host" is causing a deal of comment among the fight fans. Lindsey has made a splendid reputation here and there are those who believe he can hold his own with the "ghost" in a 15 round go. Clark realizes that Lindsey is a tough boy and admits that Lindsey knows all the tricks of the game, but he feels confident of victory. So does Lindsey. Lindsey defeated Harry Wallace in a 15 Round bout here November 4th, and will meet Jeft Clarke in a 15 Round bout next Thursday night. PAGE FIVE g World A Hummer BY OLD OWL. (Watch this column each week.) Jim Johnson, the international heavy-weight champion who is now in Tulsa is famous for his battles around the world. The Denver Post states that he was given a rank decision with Sam Lankford in his 15 round bout in Denver. Johnson had Lankford down in the 14th round, when Lankford was put to the canvas with a terrific uppercut for the count of nine. Lankford rolled over and clinched the ropes, and held on until the close of the round. Johnson realized that he not only had to beat Lankford and the referee, Lankford being such a favorite that he had to use judgment in not putting him into slumberland. Carl Morris, of Sapulpa, heavy-weight, offered $6000 by the sporting men of Tulsa for a 15 round bout with Johnson. If Johnson was a white man his next opponent would be Jess Willard. Johnson will be seen at the Palm Garden in the near future in a bout with Jack Thompson. Johnson has discussions over such men as Jack Johnson, Janette, Langford, and Sam McVey in his international bouts. Billy McClain Promoter. 122 N. Greenwood Tulsa, Okla.

Umbrellas and khaki seem a most unlikely combination; yet one instance is recorded of British soldiers taking their umbrellas into action, according to the London Chronicle. On December 10, 1813, during the battle of the Nive, the Grenadier guards captured a redoubt outside Bayonet. While they were in possession of this Wellington passed by and noticed that the officers had umbrellas up to protect themselves from the heavy rain. He sent back his aide-de-camp, Lord Arthur Hill, to tell them that "the duke does not approve of the use of umbrellas in action. The guards' officers may, if they please, carry umbrellas even in uniform when on duty at St. James; but in the field it is not only ridiculous, but unmilitary."

SCORE UP ONE FOR JONES Sarcastic Comment Will Be Appreciated by Those Who Favor Old-Time Methods of Travel. Down in the crimson Cover zone there were two farmers named Jones and Smith, respectively. Jones was old-fashioned and stuck to old-fashioned ways, but Smith, who was more modern, bought a fine new automobile. One day he was proudly exhibiting it to some friends when Jones came along. "Um," remarked Jones, as he thoughtfully sized up the handsome machine. "What's that thing there on the side?" "That's a spare rim and a tire," answered the proud Smith. "We always carry an extra one in case one of the wheels goes wrong." "Jes" as I allers said. "was the disdainful response of Jones. "I've drivy hosses fer nigh on 50 years, and I never had to carry a spare leg for one o' them yet." -Philadelphia Press. Salmon Thrive in Maine Success has been met by the bureau of fisheries in establishing humpback salmon on the Maine coast, according to reports from that territory. The fish were planted in February, 1914. Many fish weighing five to seven and a half pounds have been taken or seen in Penobscot river, Me, and twenty were captured alive by agents of the bureau near Bangor and held in an effort to obtain ripe eggs. From two of these fish 3,000 eggs were taken September 6, and, after fertilization, sent to the Craig Brook hatchery for incubation. Local fishermen caught and ate large numbers, and an employee of the Green Lake hatchery took fifteen fish last. These had passed through the fishways in dams in Denny's river and were dropping down stream in a spent condition; at the same time both live and dead fish were observed below the dams.

THE TULSA STAR POULTRY FACTS IMPROVED HENHOUSE FRONT Arrangement Shown in Illustration for Fastening Muslin Without Shutting Out Light. Anyone using a muslin-front henhouse, who desires to have the windows above, and yet distlikes to have the light shut off when the curtains are raised can avoid this by fastening straight strips of wood securely to the PARKS frames, letting them extend to the top of the windows, where they are hinged, writes T. L. Bailey of Greens Fork, Ind., in Missouri Valley Farmer. Then the curtains may be raised clear of the windows. SYTEM FOR FEEDING FOWLS Grain, Green Food, Grubs, Grit and Shell Are Necessary in Chicken Diet—Dry Mash Best. For the hen that is manufacturing an egg every day, or one in two days, it is impossible to get the required nourishment fast enough unless it is taken into the body already ground. The best system of feeding, then, as recognized the country over, is to give one or more of the varieties of whole grain as a means of exercise; that is, fed in a deep litter so the fowls will have to work for it. Then use a variety of ground foods to supply the nourishment, heat and energy of the bird. The four "g's" give us a cue as to what is necessary in the chicken diet — grain, green food, grubs, grit and shell. Whole grain gives the best results when two or more forms are mixed and fed twice daily in a deep litter. Three parts wheat, three parts cracked corn and one part oats, or equal parts wheat and cracked corn or kafir, makes a good combination. One pint to ten fowls is about the right amount, with the heaviest feed at sight. THIS RE JEWELR Ground food may be fed in either a dry or wet form, but for breeders andayers, dry mash is best, while for fatening poultry it is better to use wet mash. The dry form may be supplied in self-feeding hoppers. A good mixture would be: Seven pounds mill run, seven pounds cornmeal, three pounds beef scrap, two pounds alfalfa leaves, one-half pound charcoal.
