Knowing full that the Searchlight had mailed between 7 and 8 o' Friday evening and the post had paid, the editor did not tres, on the first one or twoaints but thought, surely papers had been delivered possibly had blown away or misplaced. It was about 6:30 Friday evening when the firstaint came to him and by look about 40 or 50 people notified him that they had received their paper—then it that the editor awoke to the that "something must be" so he stopped what he doing and started a personaligation and soon found to great surprise that the enuase that had been mailed paid for 24 hours before was in the Post-office and not a had been delivered. To say the editor was sorely vexed norved is to place his --- feeling of chagrin in an extremely mild form. It was then too late for any kind of delivery and he then did the only thing left for him and that was to notify the Postmaster who extended his sympathies and promised to investigate. Beyond all question this neglect was the fault of someone and we await the outcome of the promised investigation on the part of the local officers of the post-office and if they are unable to get any results another will be begun. We have had much trouble in getting our papers dispatched through the Wichita post-office and there is no better time than now to find where the trouble lies and this we are going to do to the best of our ability.

Mr. Neely is one of the most successful truck gardeners in Sedgwick county and makes a specialty of finely cultivated garden truck. We thank Mrs. Neely very much for this very valuable gift and assure her that we shall devour these large potatoes in the shape of sweet potato ples.

TOPEKA—State Superintendent on Schools Dayhoff lost a finger the other night in a peculiar manner. He was standing in the vestibule of a Pullman car on the Santa Fe road near Hutchinson. He caught hold of an upright iron post to brace himself when the engineer threw on the air and the brace he was holding to bumped up against a similar brace on the next car, cutting off his finger. He picked up the finger and rushed to a surgeon's office to see if it couldn't be sewed back on, but the surgeon said it couldn't. So Dayhoff is shy a finger.

Not Wanted By The White South The President Not Wanted By The White South The New York Sun, which is disposed to deal gently with the vulgar efforts of the white South to prescribe rules for the personal conduct of the remainder of mankind, including the editor of the Sun, properly rebukes the display of narrowness and vvlgarity of the city council of Montgomery, Ala., in refusing at its last meeting to appropriate the necessary funds to entertain President Roosevelt when he visits that ancient capital of the defunct Confederate States government the last of October. The refusal to make the appropriation was made in the face of the fact that the council had sometime ago extended an invitation to the President to visit Montgomery. The Sun thinks the city fathers of Montgomery were lacking in the courtesy of Southern gentlemen. This is a generous view of the matter. The habitual courtesy of the white south is a news paper myth, pure and simple. It vanquished from the outfit of Southern white men in public affairs when Preston S. Brooks of South Carolina struck down Chas Sumner of Massachusetts in 1856 in the effort to enforce the Southern argument by vulgar brute force. And what other argument than vulgar brute force has the white south since used in public and in private in seeking to impose its prejudices and worn-out theories of civil and personal rule upon the thought and conduct of the people of the Repnblic? Let The New York Sun answer. The truth of the matter remains as previously stated, President Roosevelt is not wanted in the South by the white South. It is useless to try to disguise the fact. And what is to be gained by seeking to do it? To soften the vulgar and uppish thought and feeling of the white South; it can only be done by absolute surrender to the barbarous and undemocratic rules of civil and personal conduct prescribed by the white South—first made emphatic and infamous by the vulgar and cowardly assault of Preston Brook—since practiced by his successors, in war and in peace and in public and private conduct, and of which Ben Tillman of South NO 24 Carolina and Vardaman of Missisippi are horrible and stenchful examples, but by no means the only ones at the present time. President Roosevelt is not wanted in the South by the white South. Ever since he has been President he has been misrepresented, cursed and blackguarded by the white editors, preachers and alleged statesmen of the South, from Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution to Congress man Heflin of Tuskegee, from the New Orleans Times-Demoerat to Jeff Davis of Arkansas. He will have a royal and affectionate reception at Tuskegee Institute, but nowhere else on the program of his itinerary. It is a shame and disgrace that it should be so; but it is so. Why not acknowledge it to be so—as it is? The white South has not been reconstructed at all; it is still viciously ante-bellum in thought in speech, in act and in its ideas of civil tyranny as a makeshift for a republican form of government The New York Sun knows this to be true, but will not acknowledge it. Why? And the white South is only half-civilized. In personal conduct it is crude, vulgar, insolent, and boorish provincial; in civil conduct it is savage, cruel and viciously medieaval. It needs education and lots of it. We say it again: The white South does not want President Roosevelt in the South; and no good will be done by his proposed visit there. -N. Y. Age GRINSTEAD - BRADFORD WEDDING. In the midst of a host of invited guests Mr. Morton H. Grinstead and Miss Daisy Bradford, were united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.

Subscribe for The Searchlight Only $1.00 pr year OUR POLICY. The editorial policy of the Searchlight is to take a hopeful view of the future. We do not often emphasize the gloomy and despondent side of Afro-American life. There is, however, one aspect of our present condition, which is pitiable and regrettable. We refer to the attitude of a number of our so-called educated men towards the progress of the race. A large element of our men who have had the very best opportunities for education are of the least service to the masses of the race. This seems to be especially true of many of those who have been educated in colleges and universities. A very large percentage of these men who have been educated in these institutions—in most cases educated out of the charitable gifts of white people—are not only of no service to the race, but are a positive hindrance. They constitute the association of Knockers and Windjammers. Their policy is to stand off and find fault. They know little about the real conditions of the people, because they seem afraid to touch the masses except through long distance advice, loud complaints and fault finding. These men do not lead in building up religious, moral, educated or business enterprises, but after such enterprises have been put on foot by some body else. They spend their time in criticising and tearing down such. The same is true of educational and philanthropic enterprises. These Knockers and Windjammers claim to stand for the political rights of the race, but if the Afro-American is successful in getting a start in life, they at once begin to find fault. The whole policy is one of obstruction and destruction. The Knockers and Windjammers are never seen in large religious, educational, political, or business gatherings, where the masses of the Afro-American people are found. If they are present, instead of entering heartily into sympathy with the work of the --- ```markdown ``` organization, they stand off at arm's length, with a view to finding and exploiting all the weak points possible. Apparently they do not think that they might better themselves and the race by entering into active sympathy with the work of the organization, and thus assist in strengthening the weak points from the inside rather than from the outside. The Afro-American people have suffered and are suffering grievous disappointment in their just expectation of good and honorable service by the men upon whose education vast sums have been spent.—With apology to N.

He paid our sanctum a pleasant call. Miss Mabel King is reported on the sick list. One of the most successful meetings ever held by the Baptists of Kansas, was the convention held last week in Coffeyville. The meeting was presided over by Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, of Kansas City, priseded and in point of attendance, business and finance excels any previous session. One feature of the convention which was more than pleasing to the church was the trend of the Baptist ministers of Kansas to raise the pulpit of the Baptist church to a higher plane of morality. A feeling of progress along the lines of ministerial morality seems to have actuated the whole convention and if all signs do not fail Kansas will continue to hold the front ranks of clean and wholesome pulpits. Among the officers elected were Rev. E. A. Wilson, president; Jno. E. Lewis, recording secretary and D. Over, corresponding secretary. --- Each Of Them Is Valuable Rev. S. S.

AN APPEAL FOR AID. Yellow Fever Still Exists in Vickburg and Help is Badly Needed. Vicksburg, with 22,000 people, about 12,000 of whom are colored, and most of this number belong to the working class, is locked up in a quarantine. Large numbers of her colored population are engaged in domestic service, and a still larger numebr depend for a livelihood upon work on farms in the vicinity of this city. For fifteen days this city has been and for the next forty days certainly will be surrounded by quarantine guards who allow no one to pass out. The only way to get out of the city now is on a through train with a ticket as far north as Chicago. The attempt to stop at any Mississippi point would, in many instances, mean death. The large numbers of the people who employ servants left some time ago. Many of the enterprises have had to shut down on account of the fact that the people who are engaged in running them have left the city. The cotton fields in which these laborers usually make their living in the fall and winter are waiting for them, but it is death to attempt to get out to them. A very serious situation confronts more than one-half of the laboring classes in the city and its environments. Local effort has been largely taxed in employing them to clean up, oil and fumigate, and little or nothing can be expected, except from abroad. The cotton upon which all life depends cannot be harvested or brought to market and thus one calamity has brought another. We appeal to you to do what you can to assist these unfortunates. The members of the committee named below, composed of representative men in all walks of life, including all the fraternities and denominations, give personal assurance that every cent contributed will be devoted to the relief of distress, and all contributions will be publicly acknowledged through the press of the country. Your contributions can be sent to Mr. H. L. Slaughter, who is the treasurer of the committee. Mr. Slaughter is cashier of the Lincoln Savings Bank, the oldest establishment of its kind south of the Ohio river. Pay what you owe to the Searchlight. Gambling houses are being opened up in every alley in the down-town district of Wichita and yet we are told every once in a while about how many "dives are closed" A new gambling house opened this week.

A dozen is a burden. Kind words is always as welcome as a fresh cow in the winter time. Did you ever notice that it always rains when your hay is layin out? Honesty is the best policy, but it don't seem as popular as it ought to. The man who marries a woman for her good looks generally lives to regret it. A lazy man is always despised and yet who wouldn't be lazy if he could only afford it? When you feel that you are carryin a load of responsibility just think of your suspenders. You can't tell how many brains a man has in his head by the size of it—his head may be sweld. Truth is mighty and will prevail, and yet there is a good many liars tryin to crush her to earth all the time. Persistence counts in everything except fishing. There it is almost a waste of time, no matter what you ketch. Show me a man who is fond of argument and I will show you a man who has patches on the seat of his pants. Look not upon the hard cider when it has a bead on it, and do not drink more than a quart on an empty stomach, or you won't be wuth kickin' out of the road for several hours.—New York Weekly. THINK EVERY DAY. Monday.—Be accurate, practical, and persistent. Tuesday.—Remember that what one man has done another can do, if he but find the way, fit himself for the journey, and travel it. Wednesday.—Look at the highest average rewards of the calling you propose to adopt, and if the same efforts in some other direction would have a brighter prospect, chose the latter. Thursday.—Mind your own business. Your business will not mind itself, and nobody will mind it for you. Friday.—There are no doubt exceptions to every rule, so when you find a man able and willing to faithfully mind your business for you, and your business is big enough to need his help, realize that you have a treasure, and recollect that he is a man of intelligence, capable of knowing when he is justly or generously treated, or otherwise. Saturday.—Beware of the man who is only acting the part of the "good and faithful servant." Sunday.—Think with caution, act with decision, and never lose courage. London Answers. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. Street cars are good places to learn not to admire humanity. Candy and fathers have made more love matches than great deeds. Men who would never dream of going up in a flying machine go into politics without a shiver. There are lots of things a man can't afford for himself because his family can for the rest of it. Generally you can tell a woman who controls the color of her blond hair by her suspicions of others.—New York Press. DYSPEPTIC PHILOSOPHY. Sound judgement doesn't always make the most noise. Most of us can offer a sure remedy for other people's ills. Even the worm will sometimes turn before it is trodden upon. Fashionable women acquire embonpoint, the others just get fat. The dancing man realizes that a bud in hand is worth two wall flowers. The man who is governed by his good impulses can always govern himself. The average man has plenty of excuses, but he can't always think of them. A diplomat is a man who earns his bread by the sweat of other men's brows. When a woman wears a new hat to church, she doesn't care how long the sermon is. When a fellow tells a girl she is all the world to him, he naturally wants the earth. There's no use in playing the prodigal son unless you are dead sure of the fatted calf at the other end. When a boy comes home from his first year at college he wonders how it is that his father knows so little. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

Here is a gory scene from Halliwell Sutcliffe's new novel, "Red o' the Feud." The scene is in England, the time in the indefinite past and the weapon used for the killings is called a "foster-brother," a kind of pole-ax: "He turned, to find Red Ratcliffe out of saddle, standing in the top of his six feet four inches of height and holding the ax in his two brawny hands, while he swayed it gently and to fro. What followed passed with the speed of a tempest flung from the belly of a clear blue sky. Wayne of Ludworth got his sword out somehow and leaped back; before his friends could get to him Red Ratcliffe had run forward, had carried his first wild sword thrust as one turns aside a bramble in one's path, had lifted foster-brother high and higher yet, swinging it like a flail above his head. "And then the great ax fell and ```markdown ``` The WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Wayne of Ludworth's day was done, and Red Ratcliffe, with little time to spare if the oncoming Waynes were to be met, set his two feet firmly on the ground and tugged and tugged at the ax, where it lay in Wayne's big skull, and wrenched it loose in the nick of time. The stripling Wayne, lighter of foot than his kinsman, had outpaced him, and his sword was perilously near to Ratcliffe, when at last he wrenched the ax-head free and swung it high again; once more the sword was turned aside, lightly as with contempt, and foster-brother whistled as it cut the air. "Shameless Wayne was close in now and made a desperate leap to save the lad; his fore foot lit upon a patch of offal in the road and he stumbled under the haft of the big ax as it turned and whistled down the wind and bit the stripling through the bone. Fair on the crown Shameless Wayne caught half the blow as it descended—and the haft, with thick steel at its core, was weighty—and like a log he rolled beside his fallen kinsman."

The divorce court seems to indicate it. The doctrine of free love and common law nuptials are another indication. A magazine recently made the assertion that eight women out of ten who married were disappointed. If this is true, it does not mean, as it seems to, that eight men out of ten are wicked bluebeards; neither does it prove that eight husbands out of ten have serious faults that render them disagreeable as matrimonial partners. No man, we believe, marries a woman with a set purpose of making her miserable. On the contrary, every man desires and his belief is that he can make the woman he leads to the altar happy, and he does not find what a difficult job he has tackled until it is too late to back out. In taking a wife a man assumes heavy responsibilities; he curtails his freedom, gives up his liberty and lets himself in for a lifetime of doing what somebody else wants him to do, instead of what he wants to do himself, and the same is true of a wife. The average woman who finds the gilt worn off the gingerbread of matrimony does not charge any offense against her husband. At first she seldom complains that he neglects her, or is cruel to her, or beats her or that he starves her, but the crime on his part that has shattered love's young dream, that has stripped the halo and glory from her ideal, that is the blighting disappointment of her life, is that he does not understand her. Women no more understand men than men understand women. Each speak a tongue that the other does not understand. Each keeps the other guessing. It is this guessing that leads to melancholy and suspicion that reacts in selfishness and cruelty on the part of them both, and makes further union impossible. It brings out all that is mean and low in the nature of each, the woman thinks the husband mean and devilish, and he thinks her prudish who reach this point would only stop and take their bearings and agree as and unappreciative. If men and women to the cause of their disagreements, there would be no divorces. It is a shame that either party istoo proud or too stout to make the concessions necessary to save further embarrassment and the airing of their troubles in the divorce courts. RELIGION, NEGROES ONLY HOPE. In a sermon, Archbishop Glennon, of St. Louis, declared that religious training was the chief hope of the Negro problem and that the black man's future would be more secure when he ceased to be the property of political bosses. "Once the property of slave owners, the black man is now the property of the politicians," he declared, "and it needs the conquest of religion to make him control his emotions, to devote himself to industry rather than to politics and to emancipate him from political sway. The colored man is ruled largely by emotions. What he needs is training of the heart, control of the emotions, the complete conquest in him by the moral law. "It is only through a thorough religious training that this can be done. Only through the dominant influence of religion may a decent mode of life be created for him." is get just as good service at this low are higher.

Brigadier General Williams Gives His Views in Report. WOULD NAVE NONE OVER FORTY. Suggests Compulsory Retirement at the Age of Forty, Saying Hardships Are too Great — Urges Restoration of Army Canteen. Washington, Oct. 11.—In his annual report to the secretary of war, Brigadier-General Williams, commanding the department of the Columbia, expresses decided views about the inexpediency of retaining in the military service officers not of age, who are unable to, endure the hardships of the field service and intelligently direct their troops. He would have none over the age of 40 years, and he suggests a rigid physical and mental examination. A corollary of this project is a plan for the compulsory retirement of officers to insure the accession to high commands of men young enough for active field work. General Williams also urges that liberal treatment in the matter of expenses of officers. He thinks they should not be obliged to pay for the heating and lighting of headquarters and that they should be furnished their amounts at the government's expense. General Williams urges the restoration of the army canten, and says: "This is a most unusual and interesting question, for in it we find the union of the most antagonistic elements in American society working hand in hand against the best interests of the soldier. In the first place, we have the great temperance societies whose general influence for good and noble work cannot be too highly commended. "As an example, in Vancouver, with a population of about 4,000, there are 22 saloons, all situated as near the garrison as practicable. "Some of them, in addition to selling a poor quality of whiskey, also furnish facilities for gambling and prostitution. "To these immoral dens of infamy the canteen law is a big dividend paying charter, securing them in power to degrade, demoralize and rob the American soldier." MAYOR SHOT AT HARPER. Drunken Man Tries to Paint the Town Red. Harper, Kan., Oct. 11. -- While shooting up the town in what he called true western style, a man commonly known as "Shorty," who has been running a shooting gallery here during the past week, shot and mortally wounded Dr. W. G. Muir, the mayor of Harper. The affair happened on the main street of the town. "Shorty" had been on a tear all day and early this evening marched up and down the main street flourishing a revolver and saying that he was going to shoot somebody. Everybody he met he ordered off the street under the threat that he would kill them. He said that he was in the "Wild West" and that he was going to "paint the town red," and "shoot it in cowboy fashion." While marching up and down the street he met Mayor Muir. Placing the revolver against the doctor's back he forced him into the street and compelled him to get out of the main portion of the town. A little after this he met a small boy and, putting the revolver against his forehead, threatened to kill him if he didn't get off of the streets at once. The boy complied, as did everyone else who met the drunken man. About 9 o'clock Dr. Muir again came down town. This time "Shorty" walked up to him and told him that he had ordered him to stay away from there, and, as he had not done so, he intended to kill him. Saying this he levelled his revolver and fired six shots in rapid succession. Fortunately only two of them took effect. One shot passed through the groin and the other went through his right hand. The man was immediately placed under arrest and locked up in the city jail. Doctor Muir was taken home, where his injuries were attended to. It is not known whether they will result fatally or not. "Shorty's" real name is not known here, everyone calling him by the nickname. He came here about a week ago from Anthony, and started a shooting gallery. This is the first time he has caused any trouble and previously was considered a very peaceable sort of person. Rumor Is Denied.

Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed THE BUMPER WHEAT CROP OF CANADA. 100,000,000 Bushels of Wheat from 4,000,000 Acres of Land. In order to secure the attention of the reader to any special article that is brought before the public, it is often the custom to lead the reader on by the introduction of an interesting story until by one hold jump, he is introduced to the subject that it is desired shall be brought to his notice. This is not fair to the reader, and it is not the intention to do that in this article. It will discuss in the briefest way "Western Canada" and its possibilities for settlement. For the past six or seven years the Government of the Dominion of Canada has talked of the resources of Western Canada to the readers of this and thousands of other papers throughout the United States. The quality of the soil was spoken of, the large area of fertile lands was discussed the possibilities of the country as a grain-growing district were talked of, and the story of the success of farmers from the United States was told. The story is not yet an old one. The two hundred, thousand from the United States, who have made Western Canada their home, who have taken advantage of the 160 acres of land that the Government gives free to actual settlers are telling the story to their friends. They have proven the statements made through these columns and by the Government Agents. They have produced from their lands, twenty, thirty, forty and more bushels of wheat to the acre, and netted profits ranging from three to ten and more dollars on every acre tilled. They have found the climate fully as good as they were told it would be, schools were convenient and easily organized, railways were not far distant, and markets close at hand. The social conditions were such as they chose to make them, and law and order were observed. Many of them bought land, because it was low-priced and good, and hundreds of cases could be cited where the purchase price of the land was paid out of the first crop. The writer knows of cases this year where the farmer, as a result of the yield on his farm, was put in a position that would enable him to increase his holdings three extra acres for every acre cropped and pay cash for it. Is it any wonder that one grows enthusiastic when speaking about Western Canada. But what may be said of this year. We are now in a position to speak regarding it. The conditions throughout Manitoba and the new provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have been remarkably favorable. Had conditions been no better than in past years there would have been every cause for congratulation. We find through all previous records broken, and that from a four million acre crop of wheat there will be one hundred million bushels of a yield—or 25 bushels to the acre. Could anything better be desired? Covering the entire country the same splendid reports are being received. The following dispatch was sent by Mr. F. W. Thompson. Vice President of the Olgivie Milling Co., one of the most careful grain men in America: "Have just returned from covering several hundred miles of the crop district. I never saw anything like it in this country before. The average yield and quality far exceeds our earlier expectations. It is an immense crop. The weather is extremely favorable." Up to three weeks ago it was Mr. Thompson's opinion that the crop would not reach general expectations. "F. W. Thompson sends another telegram from Winnipeg to night, saying that his estimate of the wheat crop is now one hundred millions bushels. Before he went west he thought it would fall considerably short of that figure." The moral of this story is that there should be no hesitation in making a decision if you wish to better your condition; or, if you have a family of boys that you wish to become settled on farms, it is a no-responsibility to call upon the nearest authorized Canadian Government Agent, and get particulars as to most suitable districts and railway rates. 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 contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-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 much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. The umbrella thief is naturally under a cloud. DONT FORGET A large 2 oz. package Red Ball Blue, only 6 inches. The Russ Company, South Bend, Ind.

How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? We hear every day the same story over and over again. "I do not feel well; I am so tired all the time!" Miss Kate M. Donald More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the female organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing-down pains, flatulency, nervousness, sleeplessness, leucorrhoea. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald, of Woodbridge, N J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I think that a woman naturally dislikes to make her troubles known to the public, but restored health has meant so much to me that I cannot imagine mine for the sake of other suffering women. "For a long time I suffered untold agony with a uterine trouble and irregularities, which made me a physical wreck, and no one thought I would recover, but Lydia E. Pinkham's agent told me I had been cured, made me well and strong, and I feel it my duty to tell other suffering women what a splendid medicine it is." If you are ill, don't hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once, and write to Mrs Pinkham, Lynn. Mass., for special advice it is free and always helpful. Eight Policemen Needed. It took eight London policemen the other day to get an obstreperous soldier to the station.

Word has been received at the Cornell college of agriculture from the director of the department of land records, Bengal, India, that the Indian government would send four students this fall to Cornell to take a special work in agriculture. These students are graduates of the University of Calcutta and have also taken postgraduate work in the Silbpur Engineering college, so they will be graduate students at Cornell. It is believed that they are the first to be sent to any college in the United States by the government of India. AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST. Overzealous Reformers Work for Law Against Proprietary Medicines. "Schemes to diminish or destroy the sale of proprietary medicines are constantly being devised by interested parties. Every now and then some zealous reformer comes to the front with the demand for a law to require every package of proprietary medicine to be labeled with a printed statement of the 'formula,' showing just how it is manufactured. The millions of people who use proprietary medicines seem to be satisfied; but the man with a mania for regulating the affairs of other people or who has some personal interest to serve is the one who agitates the proposition. To a person who has never taken time to consider it, such a proposition may seem reasonable enough; yet it is in fact nothing more nor less than a scheme to compel the manufacturers to put their trade throughout the entire country at the mercy of every commercial pirate who might choose to flood the market with imitations of their goods. "Under such conditions the incentive for the original manufacturer to advertise his goods would be practically destroyed, for the money spent on advertising would inure mainly to the benefit of the pirates and imitators. Without advertising, the public would receive little information in regard to the medicine, and all future sales would be greatly impaired if not wholly destroyed. It is mainly by judicious advertising that the knowledge of proprietary medicines is brought to the public. Nothing is more certain than that millions of people have found relief at a comparatively small expense by the use of some remedy first called to their notice through newspaper advertising. Why, then, should the manufacturer of a meritorious proprietary remedy be compelled by law to practically destroy his business as a condition of being allowed to carry it on? Yet that is exactly what these formula bills mean—Exchange. Many a poor fisherman gets tangled up in a string of lies. Highest Elevator.

Do Your Clothes Look Yellow? Then use Defiance Starch, it will keep them white—16 oz. for 10 cents. South Pole Getting Warmer. Since the first visit to the ice cape of the South pole was made, some fifty years ago, there has been a steady recession of the belt of some thirty miles, and it is argued that in the course of time it will be possible to make approach to the pole itself, and that the land in that vicinity may even become inhabited. Try One Package. It "Defiance Starch" does not please you, return it to your dealer. If it does you get one-third more for the same money. It will give you satisfaction, and will not stick to the iron. All is not figure that dresses that way. It doesn't pay to have too many irons in the fire unless you happen to be a laundryman.

With reference to the recent closing of Stonehenge to the public, Sir Edmund Antrobus, the owner, entered a shop in Salisbury, where dozens of small hammers were on sale.

AWFUL NEURALGIA AWFUL NEURALGIA Mr. PorterThought He Should Go Mad But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured Him. "It seems like a miracle that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should have cured my neuralgia," said Mr. Porter. "They are certainly a marvelous medicine and I am always glad to recommend them." "For two years," he continued, "I had suffered almost unendurable pains in my head. They would start over my eyes and shoot upward most frequently, but they often spread over my face, and at times every part of my head and face would be full of agony. Sometimes the pains were so intense that I actually feared they would drive me mad. "My eyes ached constantly and there was always a burning sensation over my forehead, but the other pains varied, sometimes they were acute, and again they were dull and lingering. I could not sleep. My temper was irritable and I got no pleasure out of life. "I tried remedy after remedy, but finding no help in any of them, I became a despairing man. Even when I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I had no great hope of a cure. "That was in December of 1903. To my surprise, a change in my condition took place right away. The pains grew less intense and the acute attacks were further apart, as I kept on using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The improvement began with the first box, and when I had used six boxes I stopped. My cure was complete and has lasted ever since." Mr. Charles H. Porter lives at Raymond, N.H. He is one of many grateful people who have found that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will cure diseases of the nerves that have stubbornly resisted every other remedy tried. Not only neuralgia, but sciatica, partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia yield to them. They are sold by all drugists, or may be obtained directly from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. Even a reputation will get tarnished if you don't keep it polished up.

THROUGH MASCULINE EYES. Some Kind Hints to Engaged Girls by a Matron. In the course of some hints to engaged girls, a matronly adviser remarked: "It would be well if an engaged girl would occasionally put herself in her sweetheart's place and try to see herself through his eyes. Would you (as a man) be proud of a sweetheart who made malicious remarks about other women? Would you like her to accept your presents as though they were merely her due, and not tokens of thoughtful attention calling for grateful appreciation? Would you like to be kept waiting fifteen or twenty minutes when you called to escort her to a theater or a party? Would not the long wait suggest even longer delays for meals when, after the honeymoon, you settled down to every-day life with its throng of business engagements." Best in the World.

The so-called "liqueur-chocolates" which have recently grown into popular favor in London are reported to contain over 5 per cent of pure alcohol. Until a few years ago, says the Lancet, sweets containing a liquid preparation, chiefly alcohol, surrounded by a hardened mass of sugar, were somewhat extensively manufactured. The excise authorities woke up to the fact that revenue was being lost to them, and the practice was stopped, some other fluid replacing the alcohol. That the liqueur-chocolates will be promptly suppressed for the same reason is probable. As the Lancet points out, however, the traffic should be condemned on other and more important grounds—namely, that it might readily lead to actual poisoning in the case of young children, or to the unconscious formation of an alcohol habit in older persons. "Good," He Says, "But Comfort Better." "Food that fits is better than a gold mine," says a grateful man.

"I could eat nothing but the very lightest food and even that gave me great distress. "I went through the catalogue of prepared foods but found them all (except Grape-Nuts) more or less indigestible, generating gas in the stomach (which in turn produced headache and various other pains and aches) and otherwise unavailable for my use. "Grape-Nuts food I have found easily digested and assimilated, and it has renewed my health and vigor and made me a well man again. The catarrh of the stomach has disappeared entirely with all its attendant ills, thanks to Grape-Nuts, which now is my almost sole food. I want no other." Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

Chicago, Oct. 10.—The Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of a widely known proprietary medicine, has brought suit in the Superior Court of the City of Chicago against the Curtis Publishing Company of Philadelphia, alleging that it has been damaged to the extent of $250,000 by a recent article in the Ladies' Home Journal. The suit is based on a statement recently made in that journal that a testimonial as to the merit of the remedy manufactured by the plaintiff, alleged to have been given by Congressman George H. White of South Carolina, was fraudulent, denial from Mr. White that he ever gave such a testimonial also being printed. The Peruna company declares that Congressman White did give the testimonial in good faith, and that it has two original letters from Mr. White. It declares that Mr. White was led to repudiate the testimonial through a misunderstanding. This is the second large damage suit that has been filed against the Curtis Publishing company since it inaugurated its attacks on "Patent Medicines." It isn't necessarily the most cheerful man who "smiles" oftenest. Advancing the Farmers' Interests. Traveling agents and salesmen are now sent from the home offices of the Chicago packers into all South American and Asiatic countries.

It may seem odd to some folks, but traveling men, carrying cases with samples of American meat products, can be seen in the desert of Sahara, the sands of Zanzibar or in Brazil, "where the nuts come from." Great is the enterprise of the Yankee merchant. The greater the market, the greater the price and stability of the price of the product and all that goes to make it in its various stages.

An event unprecedented in the history of Scottish universities occurred when the University Court at Aberdeen appointed two ladies, Miss May E. Thomson and Miss Johanna Forbes, first and second assistant respectively to the professor of humanity (Latin).
