A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING No Negro Lawyers Were Consulted in This Deal BIG CHUNK OF NEGRO WARD MONEY GONE WHERE THE WOODBINE TWINETH NOT Muskogee Judge Allows White Lawyers $5000 For Making 4,500 For A Colored Minor VOL.4. No Negr BIG CHUNK OF M MONEY GONI WOODBINE Muskogee Judge Lawyers $500 4,500 For A Has Made $4,500 for Luther Manuel in Three Months, Judge Says. MUSKOGEE, OKLA. November 30- County Judge Thomas W. Leahy yesterday made an order allowing H. L. Armstrong and the firm of Ramsey DeMulews and Rosser, lawyers, the sum of $5,000 for legal services in the prosecution of the suit of Luther Manuel, 11-year-old negro boy against the Carter Oil company, the decision in the case being a victory for the boy. Under the decision, the Carter company was forced to turn over to Luther Manuel his one-eighth royalty in oil instead of in money. It appears that the Carter company, a subsidiary of the Standard, was pumping all of the oil and paying Luther Manuel in cash for one-eighth of it on the basis of the market price. Independent refiners, however, were anxious to get the oil and bid six cents a berral premium over the market price. The Carter company refused to deliver the oil to Manuel. The suit was fought out and won before Judge Ralph E. Campbell. Since then the premium has been raised until last Saturday Luther Manuel closed a contract whereby he receives a twenty-cent premium over the market price, or $1.20 a barrel for his oil. F. P. Snider, Manuel's guardian: Edgar A. DeMeules, George S. Ramsey, J. C. Stone, J. W. Cosgrove, J. B. Furry, J. W. Hutchings and Farrar L. McCain, all attorneys, gave testimony yesterday as to their idea of a reasonable fee in the case. Their figures ranged between a low mark of $5,000 and a high mark of $10,000. Judge Leahy then announced that in the two and a half months the decision has been in effect, Luther Manuel has realized $4,500 more from his oil than had there been no such decision and that the recently granted premium of twenty cents would greatly enhance his future earnings. The judge announced that he would allow either a contingent fee of thirty-three and one-third per cent on the amount the minor realized for one year by reason of the suit or a flat fee by $5,00. The attorneys accepted the latter proposition. Negro Town Burned in Arkansas SAVAGE MOB OF COWARDLY HILL BILLIES BREAKS LOOSE AND CAUSES GREAT DAMAGE. Officers Arrest Two of the Culprits. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 29.—After the burning late last night by a mob of masked white men of a negro village known as "Little Brushy Island" authorities today arrested Louis Lee and Will Lanthrop. The fire destroyed a church, four stores, six negro houses, numerous barns, corn crobs and coal sheds. Saturday night John Lee, Jr., adeputy sheriff, was shot by a negro whom he was attempting to arrest. Louis Lee is a cousin of the wounded man. TULSA, OKLA. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1915. Teacher Endorses The Tulsa Star Wewoka, Okla., Nov. 26, 1915. The Tulsa Star, Tulsa, Okla. Gentlemen—Enclosed find 8s in stamps, for which please send me "Tulsa Star" of date Nov. 20th, 1915. In Dec., I shall send you a years subscription to your great paper, and enlist with you in your great fight for equity and justice. I want the week's issue eulogizing Dr. Booker T. Washington, containing Langston's late faculty, and some of their cuts. Your great fight on white guardians for Negro children is itself alone enough to place every self-repetting Negro in Oklahoma on your subscription list. I am surprised that the Negroes of Oklahoma are still doing the foolish thing of having white guardians for their children. I am surprised that this subject does not come up in every pulpit, school room, club house, lodge room, pool hall, or barber shop. I shall try to get it before the State Teachers in Feb., when they meet in Okla. City, and I hope to be of material service to you in spreading the gospel of the great message before our race. Our people won't educate their childen, or even try to do so, by sending them to school, so as to fit them for the responsibilities of taking care of the lands God has given them. Please push on the fight! I've almost been lynched for advising my people, in localities where I've taught, but I'm not going to give up, even after suffering the torture I've suffered. For a private individual as a teacher, especially, to inform a Negro, of impending dangers from a white man there is always danger lurking for the informant followed by the skinning of the informed. Don't publish my name, for I want to do more for the cause then ever yet, and so prefer to advocate the cause unnoticed for a while. I will surely give you my subscription for one year between this and Christmas because the friend here whose I read every week now, is going away, and I must read the Star. The Wagoner American by L. A. Bell, was the greatest Negro journal of the west in its day, and since its death, the Star has taken up the place it left off. The Tribune is next, and I hope its editor may come out O. K., because I believe his cause is a just one. I'm with him every inch Fight on Star! From a Touch IN MEMORY OF BOOKER T WASHINGTON. Okmulgee, Okla. Nov. 17. 1915. Today, at ten O'clock, the Negro American Citizens of Okulmgee City turned out to the Second Baptist Church, to mourn the loss of our late brother, friend, and leader, Booker T. Washington. All business was suspended and our places of business were closed for a space of two hours; while we reviewed the life of our retired hero. Hon. D. J. Wallace acted as master of ceremonies, and after proper opening, briefly stated the object of the call.

The Empty Stocking Fund THE TULSA WORLD one of the daily papers of this city following its custom is appealing to the generous public to contribute to the "Empty Stocking Fund." This is a very laudable and commendable work and the Star hopes that the response will be as prompt and liberal as the cause is good, right and just. Those who are blessed with comfortable homes and full stockings for Christmas morning, would do well to remember the hundreds of unfortunates who will not feel the spirit of the blessed yuletide unless the good samaritans of Tulsa remember them. The World office is a depository for the "Empty Stocking Fund." This fund of course will be for the unfortunate white families of Tulsa. Now the Star rises to offer its sanctum as a depository for the "Empty Stocking Fund" for the unfortunate Colored families of Tulsa. Without taking a single penny from the funds intended for the unfortunate white families, we hope the general public, and especially the friends of the unfortunates, to respond liberally to this fund. There are quite a number of poor families in Tulsa, white and Colored, but a deal more Colored, and we want to see every one of them made happy Christmas morning—if a big Christmas basket will make them happy. Please help the cause and thereby increase your own happiness for Christmas morning.

Dermoid Cyst of Fifteen Years Standing Removed from Tulsa Woman. Once again Dr. L. H. Johnson, a Colored physician of Coweta, has put himself in the limelight by performing a very difficult operation such as as very seldom heard of even in the surgical world. For 15 years Mrs. Lillie Johnson, proprietress of the Liberty Cafe of this city had suffered with abdomen trouble. Some weeks ago she consulted Dr. Johnson, who advised her that an operation was necessary. She consented and the operation was performed. The trouble was found to be a dermoid cyst, which fifteen years ago had broken through the walls of its original and natural place of confinement and went into the woman's abdomen, where it remained until it was removed by Dr. Johnson about two weeks ago. Mrs. Johnson is now repadily recuperating and in a few days more will be seen about her place again on N. Cincinnati.

Read Our Classified Ad Colum NO.4 Big Sanitarium in Guthrie is a Wonder PROMINENT COLORED PHYSICIAN DEVOTING HIS LIFE TO SUFFERING HUMANITY. Park Sanitarium at Guthrie One of the Best in the Country. Is Well Equipped with Latest Scientific Inventions Known to the Medical Profession. Hundreds of people are dying annually in Oklahoma who would not die if they had the proper medical attention—especially Colored people. Many spend large sums of money to get into foreign hospitals and sanitariums because they do not know that right here in Oklahoma—at Guthrie—they may enter one of the best Sanitariums in the country—the only one of its kind in the Southwest. And it is presided over by a very competent Colored physician. That is the Park Sanitarium at Guthrie under the management of Dr. H. W. Conrad. Recently a representative of the Star, in company with lawyer Harrison of Okla City, was shown through this wonderful institution by Dr. Conrad, and was given the "third degree" in the mystics of every department from the kitchen to the sanctum sanctorum of the Park Sanitarium. On this tour of inspection the curious visitors saw everything, with opened eyes, from the X-ray machine with its varied paragarmalia to the cooking vat—a device which makes it possible for a human being to rest comfortably with his body reposing inside where steam of 400 degrees—please remember 212 F. is the boiling point. Then they saw a little harmless looking device which under the manipulation of the attendant physician makes one see light with both eyes closed. This is indeed a wonderful institution, and it deserves the recognition and support of the Colored people of Oklahoma. Aside from the medical and scientific treatment common at such places the Park Sanitarium has two mineral wells and all necessary equipment for the successful treatment of all human ailments along scientific, lines, such as hydrotherapy, thermotherapy, electrotherapy, mechanotherapy, etc., al lunder the advice and control of a competent Colored physician with years of experience. This institution was started $2\frac{1}{2}$ yrs ago by Dr. Conrad. The main building of this Sanitarium has rooms for fifteen patients and about twelve treatment rooms besides the office, dining room and kitchen. There are also five other cottages where 25 more patients may be cared for. The internal and external use of the Guthrie mineral water has proven curative or helpful in all diseases of the skin, blood, digestive and secretory organs, nervous affections and diseases peculiar to women. The treatment as used and applied in the Park Sanitarium cure many cases that medicine alone, has failed to help and is especially helpful to sufferers from rheumatism, indigestion, constipation, early stages of Bright's Disease, some forms of dropsy, neurasthnia hysteria, insomnia, convalescents from operations and disease, weak and diseased children and any one run down from close confinement, over-work or lack of exercise. Some physicians positively state that all known diseases except fevers and advanced lung troubles, are cured or benefitted by the use of the Guthrie Mineral Water. The Park Sanitarium is situated on the banks of the Cottonwood river adjoining the beautiful Noble Park four squares from the Union Station. Trolly cars pass the grounds. This is the ideal spot for the invalid and health seeker; health and pleasure both obtained. Guthrie is a city of good people, good churches, good doctors, and good health. Fishing and outdoor games are indulged in by patients who are able to be out. Following is the analysis of the principal water used in treatment at the Park Sanitarium: Grains per U. S. Gallon.

McColl TULSA, OKLA Phone 3337 TULSA, OKLA TULSA, OKLA THE TULSA STAR AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS It took three years of training at Hampton institute to bring me to the point of being willing to sing Negro songs in the presence of white people. White minstrels with black faces have done more than any other single agency to lower the tone of Negro music and cause the Negro to despise his own songs. R. Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music at Hampton, says: "There is no more lamentable tendency among certain people than the disposition either to despise Negro folk songs altogether or else use them as means of race caricature; neither is there any practice that should be more condemned. America has no more valuable heirloom, from a historical, traditional or musical standpoint than these folk songs. For this reason it should be the duty of all, especially of Negro musicians, to do everything possible to bring the songs in their proper and full appreciation. Negro music has suffered sufficiently already through ragtime and popular minstrels, and any further attempt to keep Negro music on this low level should be met with the indignant protests of all serious-minded people. "It is imperative, in my opinion, for people who are sincerely interested in the Negro and his one unmistakable contribution to American civilization to use every opportunity to dignify the music of this people, not merely by encouraging the Negro to sing his folk songs in their truly beautiful primitive form, but also by encouraging him to show their possibilities for use as themes for anthems, oratorios and even operas. This will do more than anything else to dignify them in the estimation of educated Negroes."—Southern Workman. "Success depends upon ability to do something useful, to perform sor-kind of service that the world wants. Teach the Negroes how they may best help themselves; then no one will need to help them." Such is the kernel of the teachings of Booker T. Washington, who was born a slave and died the leader of his race. He did more than any other one man to solve the race problem of the South, and he devoted his energies to educating his people in the practical and industrial pursuits of life. The message which for 33 years he expounded was that the Negro should learn to work skillfully, to acquire property, own his land, drive his own mule hitched to his own wagon, milk his own cow, raise his own crop and keep out of debt. That was the doctrine that took form at Tuskegee, a school that is nothing short of a mammoth laboratory in which a race problem is being worked out, a public service institution developed by a man who was born in bondage and whom three presidents of the United States called their friend, whom university presidents spoke of as "confrere," and to whom Andrew Carnegie once applied the phrase—"The combined Moses and Joshua of his people." Washington was born in Franklin county, Virginia, in 1858 or 1859—he was not sure of the date or the place, and of his ancestry he knew almost nothing. "My mother," he once wrote, "I suppose attracted the attention of a purchaser who was afterward my owner and hers. Of my father I know even less than my mother. I do not even know his name." When freedom came through Lin- The first Alabama Negro state fair at the Tidewater park, Birmingham, Ala., after a ten days' program of attractions and exhibits, was said to equal any of the kind ever before held. One feature worthy of mention is that during the whole time in which more than one hundred thousand Negroes attended not a single arrest was made, not a single drunk was discovered, and not a case of disorder was in evidence. In the fraternal and secret order drills Company 15. Knights of Pythias, of Ensley, of which E. M. Smith is captain, won the prize. In the auto- mobile races George Roberson, driving an E. M. F. car, won the prize, making the five-mile distance on a quarter- mile track in six minutes. "Col-Mike" owned by B. L. Windham and driven by C. Crittendon, made the one-mile pacing distance in 2:35. In Brazil, where the insects destroy wooden telegraph poles, the railroads use worn-out rails for poles. New England Presbyterian preachers receive an average of $1,579 a year in salary. After three years of work a government committee has recommended a uniform system of weights and measures for all of India. Breakfast seldom attracts a fashionable audience and never one that is enthusiastic. There is at least one thing women can do that men can't—and that is, say "good-by" gracefully. The devil doesn't expect to be invited into the parlor the first time. AN CULLINGS coin's proclamation Booker was put to work by his stepfather in a West Virginia salt furnace. Schooling was intermittent. He learned his first written symbols on a salt barrel. He obtained work in a coal mine and later made his way to Hampton institute, where he worked his way through and was given a place on the faculty. Then Tuskegee institute was started by the joint efforts of Col. George W. Campbell, an exslave owner, and Lewis Adams, an ex-slave, both of Tuskegee. They conceived the idea of establishing a normal and industrial school for Negroes. They wrote to Hampton institute for a man to take charge of the work. Booker T. Washington was sent. This was in 1881, and Washington began work with a dilapidated shanty and an abandoned church as the school structures and only 30 pupils. Mrs. Ida B. Wells Barrett said: "Our race has lost its greatest leading man. Booker T. Washington was great not only as a race leader but he was one of the greatest orators—I mean oratory in its broadest sense, and he was the peer of any publicist before the country today. "As a constructive force on the lines of industrial education he was the equal of any living educator. We are wonderin' where we will find his successor. There is no Negro before the public today who has the confidence of the influential white people that Dr. Washington had, and that is what makes our loss so great. The natural separation between the two races can be bridged only by one who is in ready communication with both sides." Col. Theodore Roosevelt made the following statement on the death of Booker T. Washington: "I am deeply shocked and grieved at the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. He was one of the distinguished citizens of the United States, a man who rendered greater service to his own race than ever had been rendered by anyone else, and who, in so doing, also rendered great service to the whole country. I mourn his loss and feel that one of the most useful citizens of our land has gone." The exposition at Chicago, August 22 to September 16, in celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the colored race, included an exhibit of more than a thousand patents which have been granted to those of that race. Manifestly the list is incomplete, as it is impossible to determine from the patent office records whether an applicant and patentee is white or colored, but much effort was made by Henry F. Baker, who was detailed by the commissioner of patents in charge of the patent exhibit to make it as complete as possible. Mr. Baker, himself a colored man, an assistant examiner in the patent office, having entered such office in January, 1876, as a copyist. He was appointed to the examining corps in March, 1883, and has been promoted from time to time to his present position as second assistant examiner. Another colored man, Edwin O. Clarke, was appointed to the examining corps in August, 1893, but resigned to accept a professorship in a college. A man thinks he has many sins of omission and but very few of commission. However, the less a man talks, the more he doesn't have to apologize. All the southern states have separate schools for white and colored children. In 1913 there were 426 separate Negro schools in the South, viz. 156 public high schools, and 270 private high schools, normal schools, colleges and other schools. The following states had separate high schools for Negroes, viz: Alabama, 6; Arkansas, 4; Delaware, 1; District of Columbia, 1; Florida, 6; Georgia, 14; Kentucky, 8; Louisiana, 1; Maryland, 1; Mississippi, 10; Missouri, 14; North Carolina, 3; South Carolina, 13; Tennessee, 9; Texas, 37; Virginia, 4; West Virginia, 5. A Pennsylvania inventor has patented a nail puller the jaws of which have a graduated series of serrations to engage nails of different sizes. A machine has been invented to brush bugs from potato vines as it is driven over a field and crush them to death between steel plates. The first thing a young man learns at college is how little his parents know. Electricians in Sweden have succeeded in extracting carbon from tar and making it into electric light carbons and furnace crucibles. Until you have discussed the matter with your wife, you are likely to believe a woman has good taste. There are 8,817,271 persons in the United States whose mother tongue is German.

Fish Hash With Bacon.—Take one-half pint of raw salt fish, five medium-sized potatoes, one-quarter of a pound of bacon and a quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper. Shred the fish and pack solidly in a cup. Fish Hash With Bacon.—Take one-half pint of raw salt fish, five medium-sized potatoes, one-quarter of a pound of bacon and a quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper. Shred the fish and pack solidly in a cup. Put the peeled potatoes into a saucepan, cover with the fish and then add boiling water. Cook until tender. Fry the bacon in a pan until crisp and brown; mash the potatoes and fish after draining. Now put the hash into the pan with half of the bacon fat, cook slowly until brown, then turn out on a platter and garnish with the fried bacon. Mock Venison—Lay a saddle of mutton, well trimmed of the fat, in a dish with two sliced onions, pepper, salt, bay leaf, allspice, cloves and a few crushed juniper barries. These last are the flavor that gives the meat a gamy taste. Cover with diluted cider vinegar and let stand in a covered dish for four days. Then lard and roast slowly with a little water in the pan. Danish Stuffing for Turkey.—Soak a dozen and a half prunes over night and boil them twenty minutes. Drain from their juice and stuff the breast of the turkey with the prunes and three or four apples pared and quartered. Stuff the rest of the turkey with bread crumbs, carefully seasoned with salt, sweet marjoram, pepper and finely chopped onion, moistened with melted butter and some thick cream. Put the turkey into a moderate oven early and baste often. Make a gravy with the giblets chopped after cooking. Orange Marmalade Icing.—Take a cupful of sugar and a quarter of a cupful of orange marmalade, moisten with boiling water until it is like a thin paste. Boll until it makes a soft ball when dropped in cold water. Beat until creamy, then spread on the cake. MORE ABOUT TUNNY FISH. For fear there may be yet a few who do not know this delightfully flav- now this delightfully flavored fish which comes to us from the Pacific, we will repeat. It is a white fish, not too rich, but with a flavor much like turkey and has been called the turkey of the seas. ored fish which comes to us from the Pacific, we will repeat. It is a white fish, not too rich, but with a flavor much like turkey and has been called the turkey of the seas. A few new ways of serving this fish may be acceptable. Combined with cooked rice, well seasoned, and made into flat cakes, then browned in fat it is a most dainty dish to serve at any meal. A small portion of the fish left from a previous meal may be combined with chopped cabbage, a little green pepper and a mayonnaise dressing for a salad. Served right from the can, hot or cold, with lemon quarters as a garnish and zest, the fish is simply served and liked by every fish lover. Fish Omelet—Beat four eggs until light, separating the whites and yolks; add four tablespoonfuls of cold water and a cupful of fish, flaked, until light, with a fork. Turn into a hot omelet pan which has been buttered with a tablespoonful of butter, and lift the edges while cooking, so that the center will be well cooked. Season with salt and pepper and roll out the omelet on to a hot platter. Serve at once. Tunny on Toast—Take a rich cream sauce, using two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour and when well mixed add a pint of rich milk; cook until smooth, then add a can of the flaked fish, stir and cook until hot, then pour on slices of nicely browned toast which have been softened in hot milk. Tunny may be served in a steamed loaf as one does salmon, combined with mashed potatoes, baked or fried; made into soup, chowder, salad, fritters, cutlets, in fact, any number of dishes which will occur to the cook. Lemon Sauce.—Into a double boiler strain the juice of a lemon, then add four tablespoonfuls of butter, a dash of salt and a dash of pepper. When the butter and lemon juice are hot add the beaten yolks of two eggs; mix well and serve at once. A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of QUANTITIES FOR SERVING. There are so many inquiries as to counts of food needed to serve a number that the following table will be a helpful one to paste in your cook book: The nature of the entertainment and time for serving will greatly modify the amounts to be served. These sur- Salted Nuts.—Three pounds. GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE. This is the chestnut season, and there are many good things to be made with chestnuts. Chestnut Stuffing.— Blanch a pound of chestnuts and boil until tender, then put through a meat chopper, then a ricer or if soft, a ricer will be sufficient. Add a cupful of bread crumbs, one-half cupful of shortening, one and one-half tablespoonfuls of poultry dressing, one-half cupful of seeded raisins with salt, pepper, celery salt, sugar and cayenne to taste. Mix well and stuff poultry or game. Southern Apple Pone.—Pare and core a dozen tart apples and place in a pudding dish. Scald four cupfuls of milk, add a quart of Indian meal, mixing and cooking for several minutes. Add one teaspoonful of salt, one cupful each of molasses and suet, finely chopped; bake slowly two hours. Soft Molasses Cookies.—Take two cupfuls of molasses, one cupful of sour milk, one-half cupful of butter, four and a half cupfuls of flour, one egg, one tablespoonful of ginger, two teaspoonfuls of soda. Put the molasses and butter into a deep granite saucepan and put on the fire to boil. Beat the egg and when the molasses has boiled two minutes add the ginger and soda and take from the fire. Stir in the sour milk and the beaten egg, then the sifted flour. Beat well. Butter tin sheets or large pans and drop the batter on them in teaspoonfuls, leaving space for the cookies to spread. Bake in a quick oven. Lard or roast drippings take the place of butter. Apple Sandwich.—Mix one-half cupful of sugar and the grated rind of half a lemon. Put a layer of cold boiled rice or bread crumbs in the bottom of a buttered dish, then a layer of chopped apple, a thin layer of currant jelly and a sprinkling of the lemon rind and sugar. Repeat until the dish is full. Pour over a half cupful of fruit juice or cold water. Cover and bake an hour in a moderate oven. Just before taking from the oven spread with a meringue. Nellie Maxwell Jelly—Four glasses. Candy—Two pounds Salted Nuts—Three Olives—Two quarts. COFFEE DIES OF F of the Tuls CRINOLINE COMING IN TO BE A FEATURE OF NEXT SEA SON'S STYLES. Parisian Modistes Introduced It With the Employment of Reeds—Actual Hoop Skirt May Be Matter of Immediate Future. Last winter the designers began to put crinoline in the drapery that covered the hips, and here and there one saw the use of a skillfully placed featherbone. One thought of it as a capric, but the watchers on the tower knew its full significance and realized that it was the narbinger of a new style. This summer, in the styles launched for the winter, the Paris designers did not hesitate to display a fondness for reeds, and we soon knew that they would be a feature of this season's styles. They are. Not only do they appear on evening gowns, but they are used to lift heavy material away from the hips in a gown that is intended for day use. Genuine reeds are employed. They are exceedingly light in weight and texture, and there is not the least tendency toward the rigidity which accompanied hoop skirts when they were in their heyday. The effect given is that of something quite floating and unstable, mercy holding out the fabric from the figure to give more curve, less attenuation. But, the question is whether this is only the beginning or whether the designers have more sinister motives that they coerce by this graceful experimentation. The actual hoop skirt may appear, that accessory which used to be sold in the shops as a common article of attire, a 75-cent affair that every woman bought as she bought a pair of corsets. Jenny has sent over frocks that come nearer to the old idea of a hoop skirt than any of the others from Large Velvet Hat and Full Green Velvet Cape. Paris, especially one in flowered pink tiffetta with lace. The bodice of this frock is merely an extra high girdle which drops in almost a straight line from bust to waist, placed above a skirt that is extended by a reed above the knees so that it has the appearance of a lamp shade. Instead of the fullness below falling in to the figure, it stands out, leaving a conspicuous contrast between the circle that is formed by the hem and the feet. Surely this is not a good gown to dance in, or to skate in; the two diversions are promised to us all winter, especially the latter, which threatens to become the madness of the hour. When drapery with a certain amount of stiffness is used for a frock, it is not necessary, so the designers think, to employ reeds or to give the new effect. They bunch the material high at the sides, or interline it with crinoline. This treatment of material is the only way, so far, in which busties are obtained. The fabric is made to stand well out from the figure over the end of the spine. It may have a bit of crinoline, also. With the advent of the pointed basque in gowns, there does not seem any way to escape the appearance of a small waist even if one cannot possess it. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure News-(paper Syndicate.) JEWELRY IN VARIED COLORS Black and Gray May Be Considered the Most Popular of the Season's Offerings. Jet, although discarded until but lately, is making its reappearance now. It is worn, of course, with a difference. Gone are those clumsy broaches, those large, obtrusive beads. Instead, there are brooches formed like small plaques and carved with classic designs, and necklaces, if worn at all are of small beads, sometimes interspersed with tiny pearls, or they are of dull and bright black jet in alternation. Onyx jewelry is liked, but it is not worn by those in deep mourning. Black enamel, studded with infinitesimal diamonds, or merely outlining a --- THE TULSA STAR --- FASHION Julia Bottomley's Latest Ideas on Inter- National Fashions Ilsa Star IN SEA. diamond brooch or pendant that is set a jour, is often worn with half mourning. Black enamel slides, or white enamel ones, or those of paste and diamond, are slipped over a ribbon of black velvet that tightly encircles the throat. Amethysts are the stones par excellence and are beautiful when mounted in gray or white enamel, or in the new silver that has a gray finish. Gray agate cut en cacochon and mounted in platinum or dull silver has a subdued effect and is appropriate for wearing with a gray frock. Gray pearls, including, of course, artificial ones, are lovely with a gray frock. There is nothing so becoming to a white wrist as a black bangle. Single bangles, not too narrow, of bright jet are the mode, and they are sometimes studded with a diamond or pearl. White crystals, both plain and engraved, are other stones well adapted for wear now. A solitary stone is sometimes slung on a slender chain of platinum and worn around the neck, hanging half way to the waist. AS IN DAGUERREOTYPE DAYS Afternoon Gowns With Short Sleeves and Low Cut Necks Are Now in Order. Short sleeves and a low cut neck in an afternoon frock is one of the prettiest new ideas that have been sent over from Paris. Long ago such gowns were worn — 'way back in daguerreotype days. Those who may not wish to go about with bare arms and uncovered throat will probably do just as they did in those days—wear tucker and undersleeves. Another fashion is that of afternoon gowns of fragile materials, like cliffon and net. They are in black or dark colors and have a certain heaviness given them by the trimmings of velvet or satin. In some models they are almost covered with encircling ribbons of velvet or satin. This seems to give such gowns the quality of solidity needed in daytime light. Drop skirts that do not come to the transparent hems of these gowns make them look disconcertingly short. They give a filmy dress edge that is almost necessary in the abbreviated frocks. HAT HINTS WORTH HEEDING Woman Must Consider Relation of Millinery to Her Particular Type of Individuality. If you are inclined to be stout and short-necked, don't attempt to wear a broad-brimmed hat with a suit having a muffler collar, or with the broad fur scarf which one nowadays wraps about the lower part of the face, and thereby distort the lines of neck and shoulder. A girl with a giraffelike neck may get away with the big hat and choker collar, but even she sometimes presents a grotesque picture. The proper thing with the present style suit is the small, cloche-fitting hat, which may be as tall as one likes, but which must be absolutely lacking in breadth suggestion of the silhouette. The suit or gown with the high collar which is not of the chin-chin, ruffler or funnel varieties may have as its crowning finish a hat of the Gainsborough type. So long as the neck line is close and follows natural contours, the broad-brimmed chapeau will be found all right. LINEN COVER FOR VOLUMES Protection Will Be Found of Much Value by Anyone Fond of Their Book Collection. The drawing shows the inside of an adjustable book cover made of white or natural colored linen. Fit the material to the book, allowing plenty to come over the ends of the covers. Buttonhole the edges and add eyelets. Make initial on the front cover in solid embroidery. Lace on the inside with baby ribbon. This cover is practical because it can be easily laundered. Finger-Tip Lengths. is not turning finitesi- ning a The new "finger-tip" length for coats is gauged by stretching the arms down straight at the sides, the point the finger tips determining the coat's length. R1880H Costumes for Skating Season J THE FASHION OF THE WINTER Skating, like all other outdoor sports, happily finds its number of devotees increasing from year to year. The interest in the pastime for those who skate and to those who are simply onlookers increases in proportion to the variety and fitness which is evidenced in skating costumes. The skating field makes a background for color which the sport-loving have not failed to appreciate, and the adoption of beautiful colors for skating clothes will make it as fascinating as the dancing floor. With these things in mind costumers present a number of sport-coats, sweaters, skating costumes, caps, muffers, and "headwraps" to meet the requirements of those fortunate women who take to the ice. Opportunity to look her prettiest knocks at the door of every one of them. Pretty Luxuries o Pretty Luxuries of Dress for Gifts THE FILM It is the privilege of women to wear all sorts of pretty accessories of dress, and there are all sorts of airy and alluring fabrics that inspire them to make these luxuries of apparel. Laces and ribbons, nets and metallic gauzes, and other transparent materials are translated into neckwear, headwear, and other finery that bespeaks the dainty woman. Interest in these things is more keen than ever when the holidays get near. Anything that promises an easily made and pretty gift is welcome. The breakfast, or boudoir cap, has more than prettiness to recommend it. It is a cheerful and most becoming bit of finery that any woman may own, and is always an acceptable gift, like a pretty pair of slippers. Besides the boudoir cap there are those for traveling and those that are worn at night, and the most essential cap of all—the dusting cap. This last one is made of washable cotton finished with a ruffle of the material. Traveling caps are made of washable silk or of dark colors not easily soiled. They are usually gathered over elastic cord or fulled on a ribbon run through a casing about the edge of the crown. The ends are drawn through a slash in the casing and tied in a bow. This allows the cap to be flattened out when it is pressed. The picture shows a group of three breakfast or boudoir caps. Two of them are of lace and one of net and lace combined. A wide net top lace forms the body of the irst cap. The embroidered edge is turned back about the face and the straight edge is gathered into a narrow lace insertion. This insertion borders a circular piece at the back, forming the crown. The lace is extended into a tab, which hangs under a bow of soft satin ribbon, at the back. The second cap is very simply constructed of a band of shadow lace edged with val, and a puffed crown of net with a frill of net across the back at the neck. The lace band is extend- I Head wraps, with muff to match, made of velvet and trimmed with fur, are among the most fetching of novelties. They are soft turbans, with their velvet drapery extended into a scarf or muffler. The scarf portion is lined with silk and usually tapers to a point which terminates in a tassel or a ball of fur or some other ornament that will serve to weight it a little. The muff to match is small and usually barrel shaped. Besides those of brilliant colors, all white caps and mufflers and magpie sets, like those shown above, look well on the ice. They are good examples of current styles, and their usefulness does not begin and end with the skating field. It covers all the outdoor recreations of the wintertime. They are of knitted yarns, and similar ones are made in an endless variety of color and color combinations. f Dress for Gifts ed into tabs and the net crown is plaited about the edge and sowed into the band. It is trimmed with little bows and flowers of narrow satin ribbon. The third cap is of lace scalloped on both edges, such as is made for corset covers. The scalloped edge about the face is turned back, and satin ribbon is threaded through the slashes woven in the lace. The fullness at the back is gathered over an elastic cord. Julia Bottomley A Bit of Red. It peeps out of the pockets of a Scotch plaid frock and lines the cuffs and collar as well. It emphasizes in braid the very military closing of a blue serge frock and matches the shiny belt of red leather and the wrist straps of the same. A red flannel vest and much-wrinkled collar are to be seen in a very stunning blue gaber-dine suit. A turban of shirred red velvet lights up an otherwise somber costume. Altogether, for the woman who can stand it, the bit of red is indispensable for the dull colorings which fashion is forcing on woman-kind this season. Freshening Ribbons. Ribbons and silks can usually be made to look fresher if they are washed in soapy water, dried and ironed. If they are desired stiff they should be ironed while wet. If they are to be soft they must first be dried, and any wrinkles which refuse to iron out without water can be moistened with a sponge wrung dry. Pockets Are Large. The craze for pockets does not seem likely to die out. In fact, the newest models created by famous Paris dress-makers exploit pockets which are large, unexpected, and numerous.

COMMISSIONER QUINN let the ax fall Tuesday night and 13 heads were chopped off from the city payrool. It may seem "cruel economy" to those who felt the ax, but Col. Quinn shows executive ability in the action he pursued. THE SALVATIO NOF THE RACE lies along the pathway of industry. We can not hope to permanently succeed as a race without employment for our boys and girls. This can not be accomplished on any large scale without co-operation. We would have more race enterprises if we had mare individuals of the race to encourage those we have. THE COLORED LAWYEAS of Oklahoma are suffering for want of clientage, with a few exceptions, while white lawyers are becoming rich from fees obtained through the courts from the funds of Negro minors. This is a condition which should not obtai nand would not if the proper race feeling existed among the Colored people, and if a spirit of common fairness was prevalent in all the County Courts of Oklahoma. In Muskogee last week, white lawyers obtained a fee of $5,000 from the funds of a Negro minor for making for the minor in a suit they won, $4,500. This shows beyond a reasonable doubt the great need of the "Negro Guardianship League," which was recently organized to take up this kind of work. SINCE THE DECISION of the U. S. Supreme court annulling the "Grandfather Clause" some of the leading papers of the country have been predicting a republican landslide in Oklahoma next year. And strange enough, nearly all of these papers take it for granted that the Negro vote will turn the trick. But the election returns of 1916 may prove them chimerical dreamers. The Negroes of Oklahoma know the history of the "Grandfather clause" and other ob civil rights legislation as well as they know the history of the republican party in this state. They know that they have received no greater rebuffs and "set backs" from any party than they have from the "jilly white" republican leaders, who have headed the republican columns in Oklahoma. Those who are of the opinion that the republican party of Oklahoma has any strings on the Negro voters of this state will find themselves badly mistaken when the count is made. The Negroes of this state have settled down to the good old common sense policy of voting for their better interests regardless of party lines. They have lived to learn that they have friends as well as enemies in both parties and that party affiliation does not brighten the colors of either. The "Grandfather Clause" could not have been a law without the support of republicans. The same is true of the "Jim Crow" law. The standard bearer of the republican party in his race for Governor of Oklahoma declared repeatedly that all these laws suited him and that they would not be changed if he was elected. The Negroes will not forget. PAGE FOUR THE TUCK Printing and Published Every Saturday at External as second-class matter in Oklahoma, under the Act of March 3, 1876. A. J.

Shepard, now known as Finlay Jay Shepard, Jr., heir to the Gould millions. Mr. Shepard and his wife, who was Miss Helen Miller Gould, recently appeared before Surrogate William A. Sawyer of Westchester county at White Plains and formally adopted the four-year-old boy who was found on the steps of St. Patrick's Cathedral by a policeman, near midnight of September 12, 1914. The boy was taken to the Children's society, from where he was transferred to St. Christopher's home at Dobbies Ferry. Here the child attracted the attention of Mrs. Shepard, who visited the institution in the interests of the Big Sister movement. She was attracted by his hair and eyes, and his affectionate disposition, and this attraction finally led to the boy's adoption.

PAGE SIX KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT RECOGNIZED An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. According to this it would seem that a medicine for the kidneys, possessing real healing and curative properties, would be a blessing to thousands. Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, the well known kidney, liver and bladder remedy, is remarkably successful in sickness caused by kidney and bladder troubles. It is mild and gentle in its action and its healing influence is soon noticed in most cases. There is no other remedy, like SwampRoot, that is more effective over come kidney, liver and bladder troubles—and you can depend upon it.

An accident deprived him of his right arm. Moylan is not a man to be easily discouraged and it wasn't long before he was back at the same old stand. Seven years later another accident cost him his left arm. It was then that Moylan turned his attention to law and worked with all his might and brain until he mastered the subject. At the law examination he answered the questions with pen between his teeth. He practiced a while as a lawyer, and four years ago was elected to the city council. He made good and was returned two years ago by one of the biggest votes. In the recent election he ran for municipal judge and was elected by a good plurality. The photograph shows how Judge Moylan will sign his decisions, "What's the matter with him?" "He's doped, that's all." That's all! But first he is kicked and beaten and cuffed and clubbed and cursed and starved. He has stood for hours under a blazing, scorching sun, or driving, blinding sleet. He has jogged wearily along in a drenching rain. He has faithfully hauled a load too heavy for him in the face of a raw, piercing wind—and has gone without many a meal. But when he has outgrown his usefulness, or has sickened from neglect, though he may have given years of loyal service, he is not cared for or decently shot, but he is doped for sale. His master gives him a dose of ginger and whisky mixed with an opiate. This livers him up a bit and so increases the chance of making an extra dollar. This practice is being closely watched by the only friend in authority dumb beasts have, the Humane society. It is a practice resorted to by people of profound ignorance and poverty, and others with natures deliberately cruel—Exchange. --- --- COLUMBIAN INVENTO NOVEL GLIDER Copyright, Underwood & Underwood One of the queerest objects to be dubbed a boat is the Yolanda II, a lowlying, rakish craft, which promises to bring about as important a change in inland water traffic as Robert Fulton's Claremont did in 1807, when she made her way up the Hudson river without sails. The boat, which is a development of the hydroplane idea, is the invention of Gonzalo Melja (shown above), a Colombian banker, who has the contract to carry mails for the Colombian government up the Magdalena river, Colombia. When not in motion, the Yolanda II draws five inches of water, but as soon as the big retractors whir the boat glides over the surface with an inch or less of draught, at a maximum speed of 50 miles an hour.

SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course of Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Copyright, 1915, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR DECEMBER 5 UZZIAH'S PRIDE AND PUNISHMENT. LESSON TEXT-II Chron. 26.8-10, 15-21 GOLDEN TEXT- A man's pride shall bring him low, but he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor. -Prov. 29.23 R. V. Again we consider the southern kingdom. No better character could have been chosen to illustrate the condition of rulers and people in the declining days of Judah's glory. Uzziah ruled for 52 years and his reign was almost midway between the days of Solomon and those of the Babylonian captivity. I. Priest and Parents, vv. 1-5. The name Uzziah means "God has helped me," and no king ever had better advantages in the way of parents and counselors. To the influence of his parents he yielded in his youth (v. 4), followed the good counsel of Zachariah the prophet of God (v. 5), and as long as he sought the Lord, "God made him prosper." Ancestry and environment are not, however, a guarantee of any perpetuity in character. II. Pride, vv. 6-15. Uzziah or Azariah (marg.) made a fine start and his reign, considered as a whole, was one of the most brilliant in Judah's history. It bears some striking resemblances to that of Solomon in that the dangerous enemies became subject nations (v. 8). In the conduct of his campaigns Uzziah "waxed exceedingly strong" (v. 8 R. V.) Uzziah also greatly improved and strengthened Jerusalem and gave much heed to stock raising and forestry (v. 10). The secret of all of this prosperity was that he sought Jehovah. Christendom is not Christianity, yet it is a fact that in those lands where God is most highly exalted and most nearly followed we witness the greatest prosperity and men living amidst the most comfortable surroundings. Seek Jehovah, know his will as revealed in his word, and do that will when learned, is the only true basis of real and lasting prosperity. Uzziah also gave an exhibition of worldly wisdom that he strengthened the defenses of the nation (v. 9-10). Confidence in God does not palyze human energy or make us presumptuous and careless (I Chron. 27:35-31). Uzziah brought the army up to a high point of efficiency (v. 13-15), using the best weapons known in his day. We, likewise, may be "marvelously helped" from the same source and upon the same conditions; viz., that we "seek the Lord" (Eph. 6:15; Phi. 5:13). III. Punishment, vv. 16-21. (1) Pride — Uzziah's fall and shame is one of the sadest chapters in history. His strength became his ruin. "When he was strong his heart was lifted up." Poverty, struggle and adversity are not passports to glory though they have strengthened the moral fiber of thousands. The tempting tests of prosperity, gilded, perfumed and attractive are, however, far more hard to withstand. Pride always leads to (2) Presumption—Centuries before God had warned men that prosperity would lead to ruin (Deut. 8:11-17; 32:13-15) and Solomon also gave warning (Prov. 16:18). The subtlety of pride is the gradual way by which we come to look upon our prosperity as the work of our own hands, thereby forgetting the source of our power and becoming filled with a feeling of our own self-sufficiency. The next step was that Uzziah assumed to himself those duties (v. 16) which rightfully and exclusively belonged to the priesthood (see Num. 16:40; 18:7; I Kings 12:33; 12:14; Heb. 5:4). (3) Protesting—We now behold the strange spectacle of the king protesting for the wrong and the faithful priests Azariah for the right. A sad spectacle indeed when the head of a nation openly avows the wrong and persists in it despite the protests of the servants of God. The last part of verse 18 indicates the extent and perversity of Uzziah's pride. Admonition only aroused the anger of the all-conquering monarch. No honor ever comes from disobeying God (I Sam. 2:30; Dan. 5:37). Uzziah apparently (v. 19) was about to use the censer in his hand as a weapon in execution of his wrath, but God interfered (I Peter 6:67). Azariah is saved and Uzziah becomes a leaper. We must not press the teaching that all sickness is the result of sin (read Job). Uzziah was forever separated (v. 21) and was in his death "unclean" because "His heart was lifted to his destruction." There are four suggestions in closing: (1) Uzziah's pride had gone too far; secretly and perhaps unconsciously it had slowly, but surely permeated his whole nature. (2) Leprosy was a fitting punishment, for it was an emblem of the foulness of his sin. (3) His leprous condition was in marked contrast with what he had formerly enjoyed. (4) His punishment shut him out effectually from the work of his kingdom—ability, strength, experience and ambition fall before the blighting blast of sin. Answer the Alarm!

The same thought should be given to building our own body and brain—but few give it. This building process requires certain essential food elements which, within the body, are converted into the kind of brain, bone, nerve and muscle capable of enduring the severe tests of work and time. Grape-Nuts is scientifically made of whole wheat and malted barley, and supplies, in splendid proportion, all the nutritive values of the grains, including their vital mineral salts, which are all-important for life and health, but lacking in much of the food that goes to make up the ordinary diet. A daily ration of Grape-Nuts food is good "building" for sound health of years to come. BETTING ON GOLF Enthusiast Gives Up a Little Dissertation. Effect of Lecture, However, Is Some what Spoiled by Admission Which Is Made in the Concluding Paragraph. By WALTER PRICHARD EATON. Man is a betting animal. Apparently betting is a deep-rooted instinct, for many men have been known to bet who were never taught that it is wrong. When a New Englander bets, of course, it is easy to understand, for he has been taught from childhood that gambling is the eighth deadly sin, which naturally makes it attractive. (It is a high tribute to the ethical ingenuity of the Puritan mind that the grab bag at the church fair has always been exempt.) We can well remember our own thrill of wickedness when, at the age of twelve, we wagered a dollar on the Harvard football team. Our satisfaction was somewhat diminished after the game, for that was before the days of Charlie Brickley. Many men bet, however, without even the incentive of committing a sin. They bet when they haven't the slightest pleasant twinge of conscience. They bet not even to make money, but just for the sake of betting. They bet on a ball game, a horse race, the day's run of a steamer—on anything which has the element of chance about it. We once knew of an automobile party who made a pool on the number of Ford cars they would meet in a day—and they missed all the scenery they were touring to enjoy. But nowhere is betting carried to such an extreme at the present time as on the golf links. Serious writers (and most golf writers are very serious) have called it "the menace of the game." A certain well-known club near New York, which has many members from Wall street, has been forced to adopt a rule against it, whether from ethical grounds or because the foursomes delayed play by reckoning up their complicated accounts on the greens, we cannot say. It has been stated that sums as high as $6,000 used to be wagered on a single game, even a single shot. Fancy facing a water carry of 160 yards with $6,000 depending on your stroke! Would you press, or wouldn't you? It is bad enough for some of us to know that the price of the ball depends on that stroke! We were playing the other day in a foursome, which deserved the name the old judge used in Barrie's play, "a fearsome." Two of the players were brokers. Between holes they talked stocks. On the tees, they laid bets. "Give me a stroke on this hole, for five balls?" one would say to the other. "You're on." If one or the other got into trouble and saw he had no chance, he picked up without more to-do, and began to plan how he could win something back on the next hole. The pair ended the match with one owing the other a ginger ale, and their scores were so bad that we will not mention them. The funny part of it all was that both of them really fancied they had been playing golf, and they actually had enjoyed themselves. Now of course they hadn't been playing golf any more than the man who pokes around "because it keeps him out in the open air" or "gives him exercise." There is only one valid reason for playing golf, or any other real game—and that is, a desire to solve as far as possible the problems of that game, and match your muscular control and skill against the control and skill of another. The man who picks up in a bunker because he sees he can't win a bet by playing out hasn't the first faint spark of golf understanding in his soul. He is not a golfer, he is a gambler. The real golfer plays out, not because he has any chance of winning that hole, but because every shot is practice, and the game demands of its true disciples a completed card. The more betters you have in your club, the fewer first-class players will you have. We had intended here to add something about the bad effect betting has on the caddies, but we haven't time. We've got to hurry down to the links and play off a match with an old adversary, for a ball a hole. (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) A Diplomat. "Do I have to pay fare for the little fellow?" asks the mother of the driver of the jitney bus. "Is he over five?" asks the driver. "Yes." "Then he has to be paid for."

THE TULSA STAR LADY, BLINDED BUT CONSCIOUS Said She Would Turn Blind and Fall When Nervous Spells Came on, Yet Remained Conscious. Odessa, Fla.—"About 2 years ago," writes Mrs. J. D. Powell, of this place, "I took several bottles of Cardul as a tonic, for I was run down in health, in fact I could hardly do anything at all, could only drag around and couldn't do my work. Life was miserable to me and I knew I must have some relief, as I was so very weak. I would suffer with aching pains in my right side, back and shoulders. I would have such terrible nervous spells, which would come on me, and I'd fall down wherever I was standing. I would turn blind, as though I had fainted yet kept my consciousness. My friends would rub me . . . circulation was extremely poor, and the arms, hands and limbs would be cold. "My friends... recommended that I try Cardui. . . I began using it and soon both saw and felt a great improvement. . . My appetite became good. I ate so my husband teased me about it. I could rest well at night; and got so I could do all my housework in a short time. . . I praise Cardui to all my friends." If you suffer from any form of womanly weakness or irregularity, try Cardui, the woman's tonic. For sale by all druggers. Watching the Seals Visitors at the Aquarium never tire of watching the haroor seals, and one thing that pleases them particularly is to see the seals fall off their table when they go to sleep. In the middle of the pool for the seals there are two low tables, their tops are just above the water, on which the seals climb out to sleep or to rest. And sometimes one or another of the seals will climb out of the water to one of those tables and lie there on it, maybe close along the edge of one side and perhaps with its head and forward part of its body hanging over the edge of the table in front, apparently all the time in imminent danger of rolling off the table at the side or of pitching off head first into the water in front. And when a seal lies on a table like that, sleeping or dozing, people stand around the pool watching and waiting for the seal to fall off. He won't hurt himself when he does fall, he will simply fall off into the water; but old and young men, women and children, will stand there with keen interest silently watching and waiting for that seal to fall. And if they stay long enough as they are pretty sure to do, they are rewarded.—New York Times. A Boer Don at Cambridge.

Treasure for Antiquarians. In a recent issue of the London Times announcement is made of the discovery at Caervoran, on the Roman wall, three miles east of Gilsland, in Northumberland, of a remarkable bronze measure of the Roman period. Such officially certified measures are very rare. On the present specimen the name of Emperor Domitian, in whose consulate in A. D. 29 the measure was tested, has been obliterated, owing to the hatred felt toward him after his death. The measure contains $17\frac{1}{2}$ sectaril, about thirty pounds of wine, or rather more than two gallons, and eight pounds have been allowed as the weight of the material. Professor Haverfield is uncertain whether it was really certified under the order of the emperor, or whether it is a private venture, masquerading as official. In any case, there is no question of the date, and the discovery is of considerable antiquarian interest. Cause and Result. "Germany is a large producer of honey."

Judr POULTRY FACTS SCRAPS GOOD FOR CHICKENS Parings Left From Potatoes, Pumpkins, Squash, Apples, Etc., Make Excellent Feed. Save all the parings, potato, pumpkin, squash, apple, etc., and when you are cooking your noonday meal cook these for the chickens. When it has cooled, stir in enough wheat bran to make a stiff mash. This makes an excellent but economical dinner. Give them an occasional mess of parings chopped fine without cooking. Turnips and beets are much relished by the fowls when eaten green. If you have cabbage, take a small-sized head, fasten it to a wire and hang low enough that the fowls can reach it easily. You will be surprised to see how quickly they will clean up a cabbage in this way. Don't feed your fowls milk in the watering trough. Have a separate trough for each. Be sure to feed a painful of milk each day. Don't forget to water fowls when the weather gets cold.

MOST PROLIFIC EGG LAYERS What Chinese Breed of Geese Lack in Size They Make Up in Egg Production—Are Quite Hardy. Apparently what the Chinese geese lack in size has prevented them from becoming favorites with those who raise large numbers annually, but with those who keep a limited number THE GOESE White Chinese Geese. they are found to be very practical. What they lack in size they gain in egg production, being the most prolific of all breeds of geese, averaging from 50 to 60 eggs a year. In size, aptitude to fatten, and ease of management they appear in no respect inferior to other geese, while the quality of flesh is decidedly superior. They are exceedingly graceful in appearance, quite hardy, and the young mature early. There are two varieties of Chinese geese—the Brown and the White. They have medium-sized heads, with large knob at base of a medium-length bill, and long, gracefully arched neck. The backs are medium in length, and the breast is round and full; body of medium size, round and plump; wings large and strong; thigh bones short and stout, and shanks of medium length. EXERCISE FOR LAYING HENS Erroneous Impression Prevails Among Certain Poultrymen that Fowls Should Be Kept Moving. The matter of exercise for laying hens is one of great importance to the breeder, and one which means much to the man who is producing eggs for the market only. There is a common impression prevailing among certain unenlightened poultrymen that fowls should be kept on the move all day long, but this is extremely erroneous, especially in the case of winter egg production, and it has been proved most conclusively that a fowl will lay more eggs at a lower cost when not required to take an excessive amount of exercise. Chickens to Fatten. Chickens of from three and one-half to four und one-half pounds are the most profitable to pat in the fattening crates. Two parts oats, one part buckwheat and one part corn, all finely ground, mixed with sufficient buttermilk to make a batter, makes an excellent ration for crate feeding. With suitable birds an increase of one pound may be expected from three to five pounds of meal fed. The bird that is a high producer must have a vigorous appetite and a large capacity for converting food materials into eggs.

The close connection which exists between the heart and the kidneys is well known nowadays. As soon as kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is increased and the heart functions are attacked.

Fancy and Staple Groceries Fresh and Cured Meats Fresh and Cured Meats Fresh Home Made Mince Meat Teachers Association in Muskogee Northeast Oklahoma District Teachers' Association Elects New Officers —Two Tulsa Teachers Elected. Aside from Thanksgiving, the most notable event of the past week was the opening, closing and daily exercises of the Fourth Annual Session of the Northeastern Negro Teachers' Association on Friday and Saturday. The register disclosed an attendance of 192, nearly two hundred, enthusiastic teachers gathered chiefly from the county school districts of Eastern Okahona. Among the best known educators present were: Professors unblooded of Langston, Day of Sapulpe, Hughes of Tulsa, Hill of Rentzville, Jones of Eufaula, Fort of Okumgee, Finley of Vinita, Woods of Tulsa and others. The fair sex was represented in goodly number by many who rendered excellent services in various capacities upon the program. All the meetings both public, general and departmental were marked with harmony and regularity of procedure, which was greatly due to the executive ability of President John Tyler Smith, who was generally commended for the pleasing and satisfactory manner in which he performed his duties. The annual address of President Smith, scholarly written and eloquently presented was one of the best incidents of the meeting. Stewart Torpedoes Opening Session Morning and afternoon sessions on Friday were had at the First Baptist church. These were marked by interesting addresses by prominent citizens, educators and ministers and also by a revival of Negro Folk sibling by the assemblage and melodious quartette and glee club numbers sung by Muskegee School pupils under direction of Mrs. L. C. Clark. In the morning, the Rev. Wilson invoked and wel come speeches were made by the Rev Nicholson for the citizens and Mr. R Emmett Stewart for the business men. Both of these speeches were delivered in an eloquent and pleasing manner by these well known Muskegee citizens. Mr. Stewart in his ad dress took occasion to startle his audience by declaring that there were certain localities where it was necessary for teachers to SUBMIT TO IN DIGNITIES or to pay DOLLARS and CENTS to SECURE POSITIONS. Naturally this provoked wide comment and thought. In the afternoon, the paper of Prof. W. H. Fort on "The Incorrigible Boy," proved moritorious, and interesting talks in discussion were made by Mrs. McRiley of Boley, Prof. Lane of Tulsa and Mrs. Thompson of Checotah. A vocal solo by Miss Harmons of Sapulpa was artistically rendered. Muskogee Triumphs Musically School music had been given especial place upon the program for the sessions and a very unusual and wide interest in this subject was shown by many teachers. Okmuglee schools had been featured but at last moment failed to appear and it devolved upon the schools of Muskogee to exploit this branch of school work. That Muskogee scored a triumph was generally conceded by all and especially by Prof. Youngblood of Langston University who in his address complimented the exhibit of the Muskogee schools in the highest terms. The work of the Muskogee schools was shown during the opening sessions by songs rendered by quartets, glee clubs and choruses with great merit, but the culture was the rendering of the operatist: "The Golden Gift," at the Hinton Opera House on Friday night. The operatist was given by the pupils of the Douglas School, ranging from the 1st to the 5th grade and under the direction of Mrs. L. C. Clark Music Supervisor, assisted by the Mesdames Anderson Gray, Morse King and the Misses Mugge, Malvin and Mason of the Douglas faculty, a fine audience greeted the little ones, and each and every one of the children performed his part with credit and to the entire satisfaction of the audience. The singing parts were melodiously rendered and the various movements of the play were carried out with precision and unusual promptness. There was nothing of the slow and tedious drag that usually mark children plays and this fact gave eminent satisfaction to the two hundred teachers who occupied seats as guests, and the parties who were out in full force to wit. ness the performance. This operetta was a success both financially and musically and all concerned were very heartily congratulated. Another development of school music of the Muskegee schools was shown on Saturday morning at the Manual Training High School, when Mrs. Clark, Supervisor, gave a demonstration of Foli Games in the presence of the entire Northeastern Teachers' Association. The Folk Games were demonstrated by the girls' from the Dunbar and Manual Training High Schools. Feast or Ortyan at Close. The closing event of the session was the banquet given by the Muskogee County teachers in honor of the visitors. This was held at Carter Hall and attended by a large number of the leading citizens and the local and visiting teachers. The banquet arrangements were in the hands of a committee consisting of Mrs. Nellie Green, Chairman, Mesdames Oldham, Ross, Miss Elliott, H. F. B. P. Johnson and others and was served by Mr. Gwynn of the Hotel Severs. Prof. C. B. Bryant acted as toastmaster in a happy manner and one of the best speeches made during the evening was made by the Hon. G. W. P. Brown, the well known attorney. The banquet concluded with a dance in which quite a number participated, but of course, no teachers. Mrs. Huldah Century of the M. T. H. S. had charge of the Grammar School departmental work and presented an interesting program. Miss Mabel Vaughan, music supervisor of the Claremont schools, and a pianist of exceptional merit, was in 1915 at the Elation with rendering of the operetta. Mrs. Myrtle Thompson of Cecotah read an interesting paper on Folk Songs and also a poem she had comon. Mrs. Nettle Hughes of Tulsa as conductor of the Primary Department posed on the late Booker T. Washing-made her department one of the most interesting and instructive at the session. Professors W. H. Fort and W. E. Day ac conductors of the principals and high school departments respectively acquitted themselves creditably. Eufaula was selected as the place for the next annual session in 1916. New Officers.

It is said that during the war of 1812 he was a married man with two children. He had a clear hemembrance of early days occurrences, and took great delight in speaking of them. Up to just a few months ago the old gentleman could be seen early and late going about his duties. One of his charac- teristics was to be ever on the lerk. He was always cheerful and will be greatly missed by every one, as he was well known. It is also said he was at one time a servant of Gen. Robert E. Lee. He leaves a wife, children and several grand children, also a brother who lives at a distance who was not able to be here on account of sickness and extreme old age. The funeral was held from the A.
