Thomas Glover, to the high position of District Grand Master for the ensuing year. The election of Mr. Glover gives general satisfaction all over the state as all the Odd Fellows recognize in him a man who will make a conscientious, painstaking, cool and firm executive officer and will in the next year do much to place Odd Fellowship at the top round of the ladder. The officers for the year are as follows: Thomas Glover, District Grand Master, Wichita. C. A. Finney, Deputy Grand Master, Pittsburgh. C. J. Williams, District Grand Lecturer, Kansas City, Kan. W. W. Shobe, District Grand Treasurer, Salina. P. H. Bassett, District Grand Secretary, Chetopa. The Grand Lodge will meet annually in the future instead of bi-annually.

At the same time that the District of the grandest sessions ever District Grand Lodge No. 17, 10.0 F., was the session which and closed in Emporia last in point of attendance, in fin- showing and good work done— session in Emporia stands with- ered. session began Tuesday morn- ing 15th, at 10 o'clock, and after opening, the appointment of cases, a recess was taken till 2 and at that hour the session due to the fact that it has been since the session has met was much work which demanded mention of the Grand Lodge, and not much time was set, aside secure but it was business from going to end. Mary and Wednesday all day was to earnest work and as to how it was accomplished the ap-port each delegate of the work be itself. Mary was the election of offi-licious Wichita was very nicely re-duced by the election of her fay- Grand Lodge was in session the Grand Session of the Household Ruth was being held at another hall. The session of the Ruth was presided over by Mrs. Emma Gaines, of Topeka, Most Noble Governess. A most pleasant session was held. The following officers were elected by the Household for the ensuing year: Mrs. H. Harper, Wichita, Most Worthy Governess. Mrs. G. Sanders, Kansas City, Right Noble Governess. Mrs. S. C. Collins, Wichita, Worthy Chaplain. Mrs. G. Foster, Parsons, Treasurer. Mrs. E. Gains, Topeka; Mrs. Rosa Jackson, Topeka, and Mrs. C. J. Williams, Kansas City, Board of Trustees. Mrs. C. Yager, Lawrence; Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. R. L. Bradley, Emporia; Mrs. Cox, Salina, and Miss Estella Black, Atchison, Executive Board. But say, you talk about the Bud Hickerson, as "Smith black as ace of spades, co the house in an uproar while on the stage. Jimmy Brown, the handled successfully by C. As a whole the play many times the price of acid the large audience which when the curtains arose feeling highly pleased withing spent. The proceeds of the event turned over to the various aid them financially. Quite sum was realized. Much credit is due to Smith who got up the play members of the company in its production. After the play the year danced till the wee hours The delegates all expressed their appreciation of the cordial treatment they they have had in Emporia. The meeting was one of the most successful the lodge ever held. On Thursday the Grand Lodge officers and members paraded the principal streets and at night a grand reception was held in honor of the delegates and the newly elected officers were installed. The installing officers were: Jas. L. Harper, of Wichita, and C. A. Morris of Parsons. "RUINED BY DRINK" The presentation of the tragic comedy-drama entitled "Ruined by Drink," which was presented at Garfield hall, Tuesday night, August 1st, by Mr. G. M. Smith and a company of good players, was more like reality than mere playing. The cast of characters, their makeup, their delivery, their carriage, expression, every word, act and deed, was as natural as the thousands of cases which the play portrays out of everyday life. The theme of the play showed a wealthy, highly respected man who was "Ruined by Drink" but unlike the case of life the victim of drink gained his manhood honor. The play opened with a street scene in Somerville, Tex., and also the home of Mr. Thackery, a wealthy merchant who confided in his head bookkeeper—the part of Mr. Roger Thackery was most superbly handled by Mr. G. M. Smith as star actor, Mrs. Thackery, his wife, was that of Mrs. G. M. Smith, who played her part just as though it was natural for her. Miss Ida Thackery, the elder daughter, was played by Mrs. M. E. Carr. This was the part of the leading lady and the manner in which Mrs. Carr presented this part is highly commendable. Little Agnes, their youngest daughter, was nicely played by Ices Carr. Miss Susie Ticklemire, who wished she had "a thousand tongues that she might talk more" was the part splendidly played by Mrs. Birdie Waters. Billy Brady, the elocutionist anti poet and all round man, was excellently played by Robert Floyd. Dr. Fairfield, a young doctor just from the medical college, was the part so finely played by Mr. Geo. Brown. John Hayden, the saloonist, was played by John Edgerton. In the part of Tom Horn, the villainous bookkeeper, who was deeply in love with Miss Ida Thackery was perfectly played by Mr. Martian Brown. But say, you talk about the fun, well, Bud Hickerson, as "Snow Flakes," black as ace of spades, certainly kept the house in an uproar of laughter while on the stage. Jimmy Brown, the newsboy, was handled successfully by George Lyde. As a whole the play was worth many times the price of admission and the large audience which greeted them when the curtains arose went away feeling highly pleased with the evening spent. The proceeds of the evening were turned over to the various churches to aid them financially. Quite a neat little sum was realized. Much credit is due to Mr. G. M. Smith who got up the play, and to the members of the company who aided in its production. After the play the young people draped till the wee hours of the morning and every one had a fine time.

COLORED GROCERY STORE Every colored person in Wichita ought to feel highly pleased over the fact that at last the race has a grocery store opened which is owned and controlled by colored men; and not only should they feel proud and well pleased with this but every colored person should show their color by trading at this store. Messrs. Thos. Glover, Jas. E. Hraper, Sandy E. Patton and Edward Landrum have moved the store to the Odd Fellow building, 517 N. Main street and have a line of goods that will satisfy any. Now let the colored people do their duty and go to this store at 517 N. Main and buy your groceries. If you have only 5c to spend go there and spend it. Colored people have been talking for a long time about a colored grocery store, now you have one—do your duty and spend your money with them. This store is open for business only and the colored people owe it to themselves to go there to do their trading. Let us be men and women and show that we appreciate race enterprises by giving our trade to the colored grocery store, 517 N. Main street. The Twelth Annnal Session of Sunflower Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias which convened in Weir City last week is said to have been the best session ever held by that body. They transacted their business in haste yet with due deliberation Much credit is due to the Knights of Weir lodge No.5 and the citizens for the hospitality which they extended to the session.

Brown Graed Lecturer, Cherokee. The Session adjourned to meet next year in Kans City Kans. Negro and Religion Mr. BOOKER T. WASHING--INGTON makes the criticism that practically all writers on the subject have discussed the religious life of the Negro as though it was something fixed and unchanging. "They have sufficiently emphasized the fact that the Negro people, in respect to their religious life, have been, almost every since they landed in America, in a process of change and growth" The Negro came to America with pagan ideas of his African ancestors; under slavery he acquired a number of Christian ideas; and at the present time "he is slowly learning what those ideas mean in practical life." As indicating the distance the Negro has already traveled in his religious conceptions, Mr. Washington writes (in The American Review' July) as follows In the religion of the native African there was, generally speaking, no place of future reward or punishment' no heaven and no hell, as we are accustomed to crnceive them. For this reason the Negro had little sense of sin. He was not tortured by doubts and fears, which are so common and, we sometimes feel so necessary a part of the religious experiences of Christians. The evils he knew were present and physical: "During the period of servitude in the New World, The Negro did not wholly forget the traditions and habits of thought that it brought from Africa. But it added to its ancestral stock certain new ides. "Slavery, with all its disadvant ages, gave the Negro race, by way of recompence, one great consolation, namely the Christian religion and the hope and be lief in a future life.... This hope and this aspiration, which are the theme of so many of the old Negro hymns, found expression in one institution that slavery permitted to the Negro people — the Negro church. It was natural and inevitable that the Negro church, coming into existence as it did under Slavery, should permit the religious life of the Negro to express itself in ways almost wholly detached from morality. There was little in slavery to encourage the sense of personal responsibility." It has been said, continues Mr. Washington, that the Negro church is to emotional. He points out that another disability is lacks a sufficiently definite connection with the moral and social life of the Negro people. On this point he writes: "Could this connection be effected in a large decree, it would give to the movement for the up building of the race the force and inspiration of a religious motive. It would give to the Negro religion more of that missionary spirit, the spirit of service that it needs to purge it of. some of the worst elements that still cling to it. The struggle to attain a higher level of living, to get land to build a home, to give their children an education, just because it demands more earnestness and steadfastness of purpose gives a steadness and a moral significance to the religious life which is the thing the Negro people need at present. "A large per cent of the Negro church must be re called from its apocalyptic vision back to the earth; the members of the Negro race must be taught that mere religious emotion that is guided by no definite idea and is devoted to no purpose is v i"na.t THE SEARCHLIGHT, ——<— wemura, - - - ANS. ee W.

(E Get Together If the colored people would stop and consider they would not be long in coming to the conclus ion that the closer they allied themselves together and the more they tried to help each other along in life— the better the lot of each would be.

'To The Coast' 'To The Coast' This phrase has come to mean a very common, everyday performance—people travel to and fro between the east and California as unconceruedly as you please. Rock Island transcontinental Tourist Sleepers (so comfortable, economical and gratifying to the traveler) leave the East and West on their interesting trips several times a day. In fact, they are operated over two routes and on the Rock Island rails via both routes for a good share of the distance: Via El Paso, through New Mexico—the Southern route; via Colorado and Salt Lake City—The Scenic route. Each way has its points of advantage: a good plan to go one way and return the other. Special excursion rates in effect on numerous dates during summer months.

KAN.. NEWS. The Kaw Valley Association had a successful session the past week with the Metropolitan Baptist church. Revs. Fisback, Harts, Mitchell, E. A. Wilson, and T. H. Ewing were shining and intelligent lights of the Association. Rev. Munroe, D. B. Jackson, and Van Lue were also broad-minded men. The Moderator, Rev. McNeal, was complimented on his annual address as he spoke better than then he was ever heard to speak before. The trolley excursion which was gotten up by Mrs. M. Y. Mathews, was the first in this city known to be gotten up by a woman. She was assisted by Mrs. Cotton, Mrs. Teault, Mrs. J. Richardson, Misses Cecil Oliver, E. Payne, and Mr. W. Ford. It was said by the most intelligent people to be a perfect success. They visited the penitentiary, the Home, and Fort Leavenworth, and went through all of these. The party numbered about seventy, and, of course, the guides could not get so large a party into the smallest rooms and work shop, but all the large points of interest were visited at each place, just as was promised. One of the finest scenes witnessed at the Home was the "Retreat" and "Sunset Gun." The lowering and folding of the flag while the band played the "Star Spangled Banner" was very beautiful, indeed. Mrs Matthews received many compliments for succeeding in whatever she undertakes. Mrs. E. T. Madison also, assisted. Prof. Martin, Misses Sara Chinn, N. Poenix, Mesdames J. J. Lewis, D. W. White, J. T. Fleids, C. Kelly, and almost all the seventy persons on the first car of the trolley excursion were delighted with their trip. Mrs. M. Robb, mother of Mrs. B. Dudley, our dressmaker, seems to improve somewhat. Rev. Ward had a grand rally and a basket dinner at his church. It was largely attended; $616 was realized at the rally. Mr. John Wilson, deputy sheriff, attended a picnic at White church. Miss Bertha Cole is visiting in Chicago. Rev. Fairfax preached the closing sermon of the Association. OUT OF THE ORDINARY While others were snatching a wink. A poet sat down in the gray of the dawn To fish in a bottle of ink. He thought of the sportsmen who fished time before Immortal forever to be: He knew of the beauties which swam in his murk. And rigged up his tackle with glee. A silvery sonnet flashed up from the deep. And amished away from his sight. A ballast and rondeau each nibbled and went. But still he had never a bite. His rod nearly broke with a heavy blank verse. a failure again was his fate. The size of the follower who all got away I hesitate here to relate. The sun, marching up from the east to the west, on the angler distraught. Then sank to its rest while the poet quit work— Relics Found in Irish Bog. Interesting finds have been made in the Stokestown, County Roscommon, Ireland, district during the operation of turf cutting from the bogs. What is supposed to be a gold tray or salver of great antiquity and of a rare Celtic design, together with a pair of old duelling pistols, was unearthed, and not far from the spot where these articles were discovered the turf men found, some eighteen feet below the surface, a coffin containing a skeleton, to which were clinging fragments of clothing, evidently of rich material. From some mouldering military emblems found in the coffin it is surmised that the remains are those of a French officer of high rank, who must have died on the march from Killala, in the year of the French invasion. On the top of the coffin was a horse pistol. Some of the relics are to be exhibited. "Good Time" 200 Years Ago. At the beginning of the eighteenth century a number of ruffianly young men of the higher classes—called by Swift "a race of rakes that play the devil about the town every night"—known as "Mohocks," infested London, sallying out drunk into the streets, carrying short clubs loaded with lead at both ends, and perpetrating shame, ful cruelties upon peaceable passersby, wantonly wounding and disfiguring the men and subjecting all alike to atrocious insults. Lecky says that matrons, inclosed in barrels, were rolled down the steep and stony Snow hill. Watchmen were unmercifully beaten, and their noses were slit. Coaches and chairs were overturned on rubbish heaps and country gentlemen visiting the theaters had to be accompanied by their armed retainers, as if in time of war. Tavern Signs Buried. Whenever an inn on the Cumberland estates of the Howards, earls of Carlisle, loses its license, the inn sign is buried. The obsequies take place at dead of night, in the presence of as many of the old customers as can be collected. As a sort of libation a bottle of spirits, generally whisky, is poured into the grave, and an appropriate burial service repeated. The temperance advocates in the crowd cheer lustily, and the droughty element become mock mourners, or jesters, as the fancy takes them. The strains of a concertina or some similar instrument usually help to enliven the proceedings. The last inn to have its sign buried was the Moor Cock, at Lanercost, whose license was taken away by the Brampton justices. A Swan in Mourning. A swan about which a curious story is told in Cumberland, England, has just returned for its summer visit to Moorhouse Farm. Originally the swan took up his abode on the lakelet in company with his mate, but their nest was robbed and the female bird died, apparently broken-hearted. The bereaved consort covered the body with leaves and seeds and departed. Every spring since he has regularly returned to the grave always alone, and, with the water hens for company, swims disconsolately about the farm throughout the summer.—London Daily Mail. His Wisest Course. It has been discovered that the judge has no discretion under the Vermont liquor law and that he is bound to sentence a convicted seller for a certain length of time for each offense. William Caulstone was recently convicted on twenty-five counts in Hennington county and it was figured that he was in a fair way to get a sentence of sixty-one years. When he discovered this fact, he took "leg ball" and left his bondsmen to settle with the law. Bait. Took a Trip. It was a young Norway, Me., man who went to the Rangeley-on a fishing trip, and was forehanded enough to take a large can of worms with him for bait. During the noon hour on the first day that he fished he hid the can from the other fishermen by placing it on the truck frame of a freight car standing on a nearby siding. He was somewhat surprised on his return, an hour later, to find that the car was miles away on its journey to Rumford Falls. Nice Pile to Own. A Cleveland, Ohio, statistician has figured that 10,000,000 one dollar bills laid one above the other flatwise would make a pile nine times the height of a 16-story building. Dr. and Mrs. S. H. Thompson gave a large "At Home" for their friends to meet their mother, Mrs. H. Armstrong and their sisters, Misses Armstrong, of St. Louis. It was a fine affair and well attended. Mrs. H. Gamble's mother, from Louisiana. Mo., is quite ill at her daugter's home. Mrs. Patrick has returned from Macon, Mo., where she attended her mother's funeral. Miss L. Harlan, of Lear, was a visitor to the Association. Miss Mabel Madison is visiting in Topeka. Mr. Charles Hopes was unfortunate in having his house and furniture partially burned. He has many sympathizers. The funeral of the late Mrs. Lena Johnson took place from the residence Monday afternoon. She leaves a husband, son, and many friends who mourn her loss. Mrs. E. Fields, mother of our mail carrier, Mr. F. K. Douglass, was buried last Tuesday. Mrs. L. Green, J. Palmer, E. Scott, Bertha Scott and Miss L. Sewall were among the many persons pleased with the trolley excursion. Wordl from Lieut. Eugune E, Whitted of the 25th Infantry states that he has been on the sick list for several day but is much improved. FOR MEN OF BRAINS PRIZES WORTH HAVING OFFERED BY GOVERNMENTS. Who Has a Scheme for the Eradication of the Cactus in Queensland?—Find an Alloy in Diamond Cutting That Is Without Danger to Health. Many persons, no doubt, will conclude that there is practically no chance of securing such desirable prizes as the large sums of money—five prizes each worth £8,000—offered by the Nobel bequest, where it is absolutely needful to have attainments of both a learned and brilliant nature; yet, says Tit Bits, a study of the following particulars of prizes which are being offered to-day will show that there are other splendid opportunities well within the scope of most people. Among the many varieties of cactus there is one which is known as the prickly pear; it is a rather attractive looking plant, but its leaves are covered with hair sharp enough to pierce the hands of any one who is so rash as to touch it. The plant came originally from America, but after it was introduced in some manner or other into Queensland it spread so rapidly and to such an extent that in some districts it has practically destroyed all other vegetation. The Queensland government is still offering a reward of £5,000 to any one who can devise a method by which it can be completely eradicated. The British consul at Palermo not long since sent a dispatch to the Foreign Office containing information regarding a premium of £2,000 that the municipality, of Catania is offering. In order to encourage local industrial enterprise this sum is to be awarded to the individual who establishes some new industry in the town. This trade is to be of such a nature that it will employ not fewer than 100 workmen. A further £1,000 will be paid for every additional fifty hands that are afterward employed. These sums would be payable at the end of the year in five equal instalments. Five hundred pounds is to be obtained from the government of Holland. As most people are aware, the Dutch are the most expert diamond cutters in the world, but in this diamond cutting it is necessary to use an alloy which is dangerous to health. Is it possible to find a method of doing without the aid of this alloy? Again, to turn to a very different source of money making by competition, there is £500 being offered by the well known firm of Ricordi & Co. In order to encourage English opera that firm has offered this prize to be competed for by English subjects alone, and has guaranteed to produce the successful work at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. M. Massenet has already been secured as one of the adjudicators. Women can gain a prize of £200 which is being offered by the Women's Institute of Science at Naples; it is to be given for the best work on any subject of scientific research, but it must be based on independent laboratory experiments. Another interesting subject is "The best, least irksome, and least costly method of securing the male able-bodied youth of this country for service in the regular or auxiliary forces as existing, and for expanding these forces in the time of war." For the three best essays dealing with these topics the Royal United Service Institution offers prizes consisting of 100 guineas, 30 guineas and 10 guineas. Innocent Irreverence. Oliver was in the front yard one day when a gentleman passed by on the street. Oliver asked his nurse who it was. "That was Mr. Lord," she responded. "Muvver, oh muvver. God has just gone past—and he had a hard hat on!"—Lippincott's. NOTICE.

DOLAN NEVER HEARD OF IT General Manager Dan C. Cain Is Quoted at Length Concerning the Current Rumors of the Impending Changes. Topeka, Aug. 2.—C. W. Jones, superintendent of the Kansas division of the Rock Island at Topeka, will go to Des Moines to become superintendent of the Iowa division and J. B. Smalley, at present superintendent of the Iowa division, will succeed Mr. Jones at Topeka. The office of the superintendent of the Kansas division will not be moved to Herington, but will remain at Topeka, at least for the present. The above statements were made by Dan E. Cain, general manager of the Southwestern and Choctaw districts of the Rock Island, upon his return from a trip to Oklahoma. Mr. Cain was accompanied by Vice-President H. U. Mudge, who has been in Colorado, and Frank Dolan, who becomes general superintendent of the Southwestern district, with headquarters at Topeka, succeeding J. O. Crockett, resigned. The exchange of territory between C. W. Jones and J. B. Smallay is by mutual agreement, and not on account of a promotion of Mr. Jones, as stated in an evening paper which printed "rumors" of the coming change. The same paper has been claiming that the division superintendent's office would be moved to Herington, which report was promptly and vigorously denied by General Manager Cain. Mr. Jones was formerly a resident of Des Moines and wants to go back to his old home. Mr. Smalley wants to move to Topeka. Therefore the two gentlemen arranged matters so that they could be transferred. The transfer has been approved by the higher officials. They wanted to make the change and will be allowed to do so. "I am annoyed at the report that has been in circulation that the office of the superintendent of the Kansas division would be moved from Topeka to Herington. I remarked in conversation with another man at one time that I wished the division office were at Herington, as it might relieve the constant jam there and have the effect of keeping the schedule more intact. Somebody overheard me and took my words for a prediction that the office would be moved." The location of the office of the division superintendent is a matter that is left wholly with the general superintendent. Mr. Dolan has scores of more important matters to attend to before he can waste any time considering the question of moving the office of the Kansas division superintendent. He has not even heard of the question yet. There is no significance in the visit of Vice President Mudge to Topeka at this time. Mr. Mudge has been in Colorado. He met Mr. Cain at McFarland. "There is considerable new work going on on the Missouri division," stated General Manager Cain last night, "and Vice President Mudge wants me to go over it with him. All of the main line is being reballasted and new steel is being laid for a distance of 179 miles." YELLOW FEVER AT TAMPA. Italian From New Orleans Developed Into Case. Tampa, Fla., July 31.—State health officer of Florida, Dr. R. D. Porter, now at Tampa, today gave out the following statement: The Italian, whose name is Victor Vittalo, who left New Orleans July 20, coming from the infected district of St. Phillip street direct by rail to West Tampa, arriving July 22, has developed a mild case of yellow fever. The patient with the inmates of the house within a radius of 300 feet are screened against mosquitoes and are guarded and will be kept under guard and daily medical observation and inspection for the next three weeks. Shorter Hours, More Pay. Chicago, Aug. 1. — Officers of the Freight Handlers' union sent to the General Managers' association, which is an organization composed of all the railroads entering the city, a request for a conference on Wednesday. The men seek shorter hours and increased pay. EGAN REMAINS CHAMPION. Chicago, Aug. 1. — Chandler, Egan today won the western golf championship, this time defeating his cousin, Walter Egan, in the finals, 3 up 2 to play. The champion successfully defended his title after being one down at the end of his 27th hole. By great work in the afternoon he squared matters at the 28th hole and won the 29th, 30th and 31st holes in succession. The next three were halved and the match ended on the 34th green.

His Mother Was a Woman of Great Force of Character. Numerous references have been made of late to the alleged French ancestry of the new secretary of the navy and comment is made on his famous name, the Gallic quality of his wit, the shrug of his shoulders and the abundance of his gestures. As a matter of fact, there is not a drop of French blood in Charles J. Bonaparte's veins. His grandfather, Jerome Bonaparte, who married and deserted Elizabeth Patterson before he became King of Westphalia, was a Corsican of Italian descent, while the Pattersons were Scotch-Irish. The new secretary's mother was a downeast Yankee, a woman of great force of character. During the civil war she was aggressively for the Union, in the midst of southern sympathizers, and her influence was doubtless more effective in molding this rigid moralist's character and guilding his political preferences than the quarter strain of foreign kings in his blood. Those who are so touchy to resentment always lose the touch of contentment. Voice from Arkansas. Cleveland, Ark., July 31st.—(Special)—Nearly every newspaper tells of some wonderful cure of some form of Kidney Disease by the Great American Remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, and this part of Arkansas is not without its share of evidence that no case is too deeply rooted for Dodd's Kidney Pills to cure. Mr. A. E. Carille, well known and highly respected here, tells of his cure after nearly a quarter of a century's suffering. Mr. Carille says: "I want to let the public know what I think of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I think they are the best remedy for sick kidneys ever made. "I had Kidney Trouble for 23 years and never found anything that did me so much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills. I recommend them to all sufferers." There is no uncertain sound about Mr. Carlile's statement. He knows that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him from a life of suffering and he wants the public to know it. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney ills from Backache to Bright's Disease. Learn to like that which brings out your strong points rather than that which develops your weaker ones.

A woman sees a hat or bonnet in a milliner's window. It is in the latest style, so she determines to have that hat or one just like it. No use to try to dissuade her—she wants a kind of a hat! No other will suit her. There she displays her will power, and probably does the same with everything she buys for herself or her family. She makes, as it were, a feminine declaration of independence. It is not that she some few女婿 women who still allow their grocers to choose for them in important matters like foodstuffs? In spite of the fact that grocers as a rule have long ago realized the necessity of catering to their customers' rather than their own desires, there are women who show a marked inclination to persuade customers to take what they do not ask for, or desire. Take Lion Coffee, for instance, the leader of all package coffees, an established favorite for over twenty-five years in millions of homes, on account of absolutely pure and uniform quality. Wouldn't you thing it impossible that a single grocer can still exist who would oppose such an invincible argument of merit, by trying to persuade a customer to buy loose coffee in preference to Lion Coffee? Loose coffee has no standard quality—nobody can guarantee that it is event clean. Of course, really independent and intelligent women know this, and so do up-to-date grocers, but if women were as particular about coffee as about hats, no kind of grocer could be without Lion Coffee. It matters little about your associations so long as you are master of the situation.

How a Woman Was Freed from Troubles That Had Made Life Wretched for Many Years. The immediate causes of headaches vary, but most of them come from poor or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood is scanty or thin; the nerves are imperfectly nourished and pain is the way in which they express their weakness. In colds the blood absorbs poison from the mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates the nerves and produces pain. In rheumatism, malaria and the grip, the poison in the blood produces like discomfort. In indigestion the gases from the impure matter kept in the system affect the blood in the same way. The ordinary headache-cures at best give only temporary relief. They deaden the pain but do not drive the poison out of the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills on the contrary thoroughly renew the blood and the pain disappears permanently. Women in particular have found these pills an unfailing relief in head 'hes caused by anemia. Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did me a great deal of good. I had headache nearly all the time. After I had taken three boxes of these pills I became entirely well." "How long had you suffered?" she was asked. "For several years. I can't tell the exact date when my illness began for it came on by slow degrees. I had been going down hill for many years." "Did you have any other ailments?" "I was very weak and sometimes I had fever. My liver and kidneys were affected as well as my head." "How did you come to take the remedy that cured you?" "I saw in a southern newspaper a statement of some person who was cured of a like trouble by Dr. William's Pink Pills. My physician hadn't done me any good, so I bought a box of these pills. After I had taken one box I felt so much better that I kept on until I became entirely well." Miss Blocker's home is at Leander, Louisiana. Dr. Williams' Pink_Pills are sold by all druggists. Besides headache they cure neuralgia, sciatica, nervous prostration, partial paralysis and rheumatism. Much of what passes for education is purely ornamental. "Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy saved my life! I had dyspepsia and kidney disease." Ex-Sonator Albert Mgritt, Park Place, N.Y. A bottle. It's all right to take things for granted, if they belong to you. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contain 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. What cost us nothing give us but small delight. Thousands of Women ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG Succase of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Reste Upon the Fact that it Really Does Make Sick Women Well Thousands upon thousands of American women have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Their letters are on file in Mrs. Pinkham's office, and prove this statement to be a fact and not a mere boast. Overshadowing indeed is the success of this great medicine, and compared with it all other medicines and treatment for women are experiments. Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound accomplished its widespread results for good? Why has it lived and thrived and done its glorious work for a quarter of a century? Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no other medicine has even approached its success is plainly and positively because there is no other medicine in the world so good for women's ills. The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not because it is a stimulant—not because it is a palliative, but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and reconstructor ever discovered to act directly upon the uterine system, positively curing disease and displacements and restoring health and vigor. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures, and physicians who have recognized the virtue in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ill, as they know by experience that it will effect a cure. Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), leucorrhea, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that "bearing-down" feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration, or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the serious consequences and be restored to health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Anyway, write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice. It's free and always helpful. THE SEARCHLIGHT Wichita, Kansas, Saturday Aug. 5 05 It may be true that radium will cure snake bite, but that's all. Champion May Sutton is considerably above the California peach average. It is only a case of introspection when a person sees no good in the world. A Berlin professor says that hammering will cure a red nose. The best cure is to quit. "E. H. Sothern, the actor, is soon to have a book of verses published." Oh, well, he can afford it. With 10-cent cotton, and watermelons going tunk! tunk! the south is just naturally happy. There are too many people in this world who are in favor of the good, but opposed to its enforcement. One of the evil results of the war for Japan is that it has shown her how easy it is for her to borrow money. Rubbing the nose is, according to a German professor, a relief for hay fever. So is sneezing, but it doesn't seem to last. One of the scientists' says chickens propagate tuberculosis. It will be best, however, to keep on shutting the coop at night. A New York woman left her husband because he gambled. She says his money is tainted. Her conclusion seems to be regular. A summer in which a Newport society woman was not robbed of some enormously valuable jewels would not seem like the real thing. Miss Abbie Taggart of California has killed seven bears and a mountain lion, but she candidly admits that she has never scrubbed the kitchen floor. Both Germany and France claim to be victorious in the Moroccan affair. Wouldn't this be a splendid old world if all quarrels could end in that lovely way? Juni Aho, the Finnish poet, has been granted a pension of $750 a year. If he has any spunk that will hardly be enough to keep him from writing poetry. A shortage in the Maine spruce gum crop is reported. Otherwise the affairs of the nation seem to be going as smoothly as could be expected at this time. You can't persuade the fireworks men that the $15,000,000 which it is estimated was spent for fireworks for the celebration of Independence day was misapplied. The old bachelor who declared he would have nothing to do with women because they are deceiving and hard to see through lived before the days of the peekaboo waists. The Pennsylvania judge who decided that a woman is the ruler of the kitchen wisely refrained from specifying whether he meant the mistress of the house or the hired girl. Abdul Hamid, Sultan of Turkey, is reported to be in a critical condition. The case wouldn't be so bad if the sultan could only feel sure that the doctor wasn't trying to poison him. There is no merchandise that awakens fairer fancies, starts lovelier dreams, or calls forth sweeter reminiscence, than a bunch of fishing poles in front of a grocery.—Ohio State Journal. The Massachusetts Supreme Court has decided that a man must be in good health when he takes out a policy. Hence the large number of men who are in the insurance business for their health. The Chicago man who has advertised for a stenographer, requesting that she "state her age," will doubtless be surprised to learn that all lady stenographers are between the ages of 18 and 22. Paul Morton has cut the salary of Gage E. Tarbell's stenographer from $12,000 to $10,200 a year. Mr. Morton may as well be given to understand now that he will from this time on be regarded as real mean. A London literary man has had the MSS of his latest book burned twice. It was a history of Venice, but he must have made it dreadful dry. He made four drafts of it, but evidently forgot to open the damper. The man who thinks it is inconsistent with his dignity ever to use a postal card will naturally feel depressed when he reads that 110,000,000 postal cards were shipped from the factory down in Maine during the month of June. The crown prince of Portugal, who broke down while taking the queen and two young princes automobiling, has at any rate learned the great truth that the obstinate sparkling plug feareth not royalty, nor the leaky valve the headman. A number of society women in Cincinnati have, for a time at least, given up their summer holiday and are working to make hot weather tolerable for less fortunate sisters. Particularly are Jewish women taking active part in this work. Their efforts are now being directed specially toward making a success of a settlement home and vacation school located in Clermontville, where nearly 200 young women are now enjoying their vacation at a cost not beyond their purses. Veteran Army Horse.

Country Boys Together. It is not generally known that Dr. Washington Gladden — who has so vigorously scored the church for its acceptance of "tainted" money—and John Rockefeller were country boys together in Tioga county, N. Y., attended adjoining district schools and frequently met in rival spelling bees. From Superstition This Number Is Jumped From 12 to 14. Tenants of the big office building at 44 Broadway, New York, are not called upon to face the danger of a thirteenth floor. There is no such unlucky location in the edifice, that number having been jumped. The next floor above the twelfth is the fourteenth. F. Augustus Heinze, the thorn of the Amalgamated Copper Company, does not appear to have inherited any superstitious traits. His office is 1313 on the thirteenth floor of 31 (thirteen reversed) Nassau street. In his fight with the Amalgamated Copper Company Heinze has been exceptionally fortunate. But the superstitious say he would have been doubly fortunate if he had joined forces with the Standard Oil crowd in the first place. EVER TREAT YOU SO? Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will Come Up. A clergyman who pursues his noble calling in a country parish in Iowa, tells of his coffee experience: "My wife and I used coffee regularly for breakfast, frequently for dinner and occasionally for supper—always the very best quality—package coffee never could find a place on our table. "In the spring of 1896 my wife was taken with violent vomiting which we had great difficulty in stopping. "In the following July, however, she was attacked a second time by the vomiting. I was away from home filling an appointment, at the time, and on my return I found her very low; she had literally vomited herself almost to death, and it took some days to quiet the trouble and restore her stomach. "I had also experienced the same trouble, but not so violently, and had relieved it, each time, by a resort to medicine. "But my wife's second attack satisfied me that the use of coffee was at the bottom of our troubles, and so we stopped it forthwith and took on Postum Food Coffee. The old symptoms of disease disappeared and during the 9 years that we have been using Postum instead of coffee we have never had a recurrence of the vomiting. We never weary of Postum, to which we know we owe our good health. This is a simple statement of facts." Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich.

The Secret of Good Coffee The Secret of Good Coffee Even the best housekeepers cannot make a good cup of coffee without good material. Dirty, adulterated and queerly blended coffee such as unscrupulous dealers shovel over their counters won't do. But take the pure, clean, natural flavored LION COFFEE, the leader of all package coffees—the coffee that for over a quarter of a century has been daily welcomed in millions of homes—and you will make a drink fit for a king in this way: HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE. Use LION COFFEE, because to get best. Give you LION COFFEE. Use "s tablespoonful to each cup, and use extra for the pot." First mk it with a little cold water, enough to make a thick paste, and add white of an egg (if egg is to be used as a settler), then follow one of the following rules: 1st. WITH BOILING WATER. Add boiling water, and let it boil THREE MINUTES. Add a little cold water and set aside five minutes to settle. Serve promptly. 2d. WITH COLD WATER. Add your cold water to the paste and bring it to a boil. Then set aside, add a little cold water, and in five minutes it's ready. 3 (Don't bolt it too long. Don't let it stand more than ten minutes before serving. DON'T use water that has been boiled before. TWO WAYS TO SETTLE COFFEE. 1st. With Eggs. Use part of the white of an egg, mixing it with the ground LION COFFEE. With Cold Water instead of eggs. After boiling add a dash of cold water, and set aside for eight or ten minutes, then serve through a strainer.
