YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER ODD FELLOW CRAND LODOE was A Successful Session Hutchinson Next Year ELEVENTH YEAR ODD FELLO CR was A Successful Hutchi District Grand lodge No. 17, G. U. O. O. F. held one of most successful sessions in the history in Junction City Kansas, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, July 20-21-22, 1909. In the number of delegates, in excellent report of the Grand officers, and in the general spirit of progressiveness shown - this years work went ahead. One of the very interesting features was the splendid annual report of Grand Master, Thos. Glover, of Wichita, who made his fifth annual report The Grand Master's report was an index of the lively and harmonious work accomplished during his successful administration Two years ago the Grand Master recommended the creation of the officers of Secretary and the Treasurer of the Endowment thus seperating the Endowment Fund from the General Grand Lodge fund. This recommendation was put into effort Jan. 1st 1909 and already it is proving one of the strong points of success. The report of the other officers were of equal interest and gave general satisfaction. Much credit is bue the Odd Fellows of Junction City for the hospitable manner in which they cared for the session. The following officers were elected for the ensuring yr. Hon. Thos. Glover, of Wichita unamiously re-elected the Grand Master for the sixth term. G. M. Harrison, of Hutchison, Deputy Grand Master; P. W. Washam of Topeka, re-elected Grand Secretary; W. W. Shobe, of Salina, Treasurer Dorsey Green, Kansas City Kansas, Eistrict Director; Dr. S. W. Banks of Kansas City Kans, Endowment Secretary; D. D. Hope of Topeky, Endowment Treasurer. The Session selected Hutchinson as the next place of meeting in 1910. Ever since Bain slew his brother Abel in the early dawn of hum an existance men have been killing each other. The very makeup of humanity makes it a hum an impossibility to prevent it. It is useless to say that people regreat to know that men and women who otherwise are calous and serene- will in the heat of a passion commit such an offense- but the years in the past prove this to be true. It is for this reason that from the begining till now -the law both the eclesiastic and common have frown down upon the taking of human life- and have endeaver to set forth a punishment therefor. The taking of human life has never been confined to any one race in particular- but in every race can be found on some the stain of havinfi shed of blood. How to prevent men from taking each others lives hys been the subject of much discussion but so far there has not even been a successful suggestion made of which would seem plausible. It is one of those occurrences over which society is powerless to exercise any preventative control. The being true --when one black or white --male or female-- are so unfortunate as to come within this list- their case should be given a fair, impartial consideration by the established law of the land. There are many causes which leads one on commit this crime. It is, indeed, a rare occurrence that any man- white or black- commits wilful, absolute cold blooded murder- with absolutely no provoking cause. FREDONIA KAN8AS Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Colman of Fredonia Kans. was suprised on Sunday July 25th. at her residence 815 N. 6th. St. By Miss Ellen Marion Mrs Mannie McMillian and Miss Cora Clemmous her roomers. W. N. Miller, editor of Searchlight, has accepted an invitation to deliver the principal address at the big celebration to be given by the Knights and Daughters of Tabor in Coffeyville, Kansas, on Thursday, Aug. 12th. JULY 31 1909. Negro And Alien Laborers In the course of his address at the recent commencement exercises of public schools at Washington the Hon: Charles W. Anderson, internal revenue collector for the Second district of New York, said: "As to the recent of strike in the south let me say I am sorry for any white man who tries to surplant a colored laborer with an alim. The primary reason for that belief is that the colored laborer buys more than the alien. He buys better shoes, better clothes; he buys plenty of good food, for his mardet bask, t of a Saturday night is heaped up with good things to eat. What he earns, too is spent in this country. He does not hoard it up and then one day move back to the old country to spend it." LET THE NEGRO WORK From the Augusta (Ga.) Cronicle. Inasmuch as the Negro constitutes the bulk of the South's laboring population, to take away from him his right to labor 'side side with the white men' when necessary—would place the heaviest possible handicay upon the South itself; for it would not only have a surplus of idle Negroes to contend with, but a scarity of labor in all industrial pursuits. So that while many Southern states have taken away the Negro's right to vote, and all Southern people agree in denying to the black race social equality, self-interest, as well as justice is a very strong element in a make up of the average Southern man of character and intelligence have demanded that the Negro be left free to labor, and to work out his own salvation in all those industrial pursuits for which by nature, he is best fitted. The above extract from an editorial which appeared in the Chronicle May 21 last has been widely copied and commented upon by the press of the country as voicing the true sentiment of the intelligence and character of the South with respect to the Negroe's right to live and labor. The south, with its ample experience, has long ago decided that honest toil is the true basis of the Negro uplift; that labor, intelligently industriously and faithfully performed first gener- atees self-respect and that independence, honesty, chastity and good citizenship must decessarily follow; that in no other way can the Negro reach a safe ground for his future. According to an exchange, Baltimore is probably the only city in the country which has a free bath for colored people. It was provided by Henry Walterr, a capitalist who gave $25,000 to erect the bathhouse. Texas Railroads Refuse To Displace Negroes, Houston, Tex.—Following the Georgia Richards refusal to grant the firemen's demands over the race question the Houston and Texas Central railroad answered the demands of the switchmen in Houston and refused to display Negroes for whites in the yards. The Negroes to be retained were hired when, many years ago, the white men struck and formed the "Mutual Aid Association. Dayton, O. Several weeks ago a monument to the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, the poet laureate of the Negro racs, was unveiled here. The monument is a granite boulder, with a bronze tablet bearing a stanza from Dunbar's "Death Syng" The new sanitarium and hospital reception of patients at New Orleans is one of the few institutions of its kind owned, operated and supported by our people in the United States. It is called the Negro Baptist sanitarium. Kansas City was lucky in that it was chosen as the meeting place of the next A. M. E. Quadrennial Conference by the Council of Bishops of that church. It is thought that in a moyey way the conference will mean $50.000 to that city. The editor of the Searchlight feels highly grateful to his many friends who have called to see him and made telephone enquiries concerning him during his illness in bed with typhoid fever. Their friendship will long be remembered. *A single crow destroys 700,000 nsects a year. Negroes Own Hospital Give the Negro Hig'er Education It is a noticable fact that very large protection of the people of who are loudest in their condemnation of the negro who comits crime or is accused without sufficient evidence are the ones who object most to the education of toe negro and they sneer most scornfully at the efforts of the negro who tries to be intellectually a better man. It is claimed that the negro is not the equally nally of other men. Granting that is true for the sake of argument it is no reason why he that should not be educated. Educate his faculties and let him find his place in the world of usefulness The governor of Georgia recently sent a message to the legislature of that state which will seriously injure the demand on the part of the negroes at the south for higher education. The governor recommends that a law be passrequiring the school commissioners of that state to print inferior of different school books for negro children that they should not be allowed to study the same book that white children do becausee as he says, "Negro children must not have higher education, that education ruins negroes." The governor of Georgia and those who think as he does are detrimental to society and good government. For no government is safe or progressive when its people or a large portion of them are ignorant. But it is useless to write futher on this falacy for it is a back number. KANSAS CITY MO.

And so it is with most of us, The beauties everywhere We do not see; some trouble small, Some grief is hanging there. They're blind as blind can be— The folks who will not see. The Cheerful Grouch on Landladies. "Next to the mother-in-law joke, and rivalling the grandmother who dies on a baseball day, I abhor that old bit of facetiousness about landladies." Thus the Cheerful Grouch with a brow of fury and a sweet smile. "Why do we abuse the long-suffering proprietor of the third-floor-back? Why do we lampoon on all occasions her who ought not to be expected to furnish porter-house steak for six dollars a week? Can we not find somebody to raise the voice in behalf of Mrs. Hashem? She isn't half so black as she is painted, and even if she were, there is every excuse. How would any of us like to have every meal disturbed with fear of what Mr. Cross-Patch thinks of the meat? Or whether Miss Lanky likes the dessert? Maybe there aren't enough biscuits to go round, or the potatoes are scorched? In your own private home you can tell the good man or the children to eat light bread or go without potatoes if they object to a slight taste of the Empyreuma. But what can Mrs. Hashem do? If her boarders leave the rooms are empty and the rent goes on and she is unable to meet her rent, or Mr. Hornswoggle skips his board bill. Oh, there are a million annoyances attached to cooking for other folks besides your own family. And if the landlady is nervous, anxious, hysterical and stingy to boot, be patient. If she is gossipy remember that you are her only excitemen and make her daily round. Above all, remember that if you don't like her you can keep house—which every woman ought to do, anyhow." THE MILLS OF MAN But in the mills that men control, Are ground the body, heart and soul, Dur spirit crushed, we pay the toll To mills of man. Wooden Utensils. In 'many of the modern kitchens, these utensils made of wood—rolling-pin, chopping-bowl, bread-board, etc.—are being superceded by articles manufactured from glass, marble and other nonfibrous materials. But in the majority of homes the old-fashioned kind are still on duty, and, indeed, they are preferred by many housewives who are afraid of the danger from breaking glass or china. But it must be remembered that the chief drawback to the wood is the difficulty in keeping it absolutely clean. They are most unsanitary if put away without a thorough investigation of every nook and crack in the wood—those comfortable shelters for germs and decomposing food. Before putting the wooden utensil away, scrape it well and wash it in cold water. This latter is important, as the hot water opens the poors of the wood thus rendering it more susceptible to dirt. Scrape and rub with the grain of the wood, and never put away without drying well—preferably on the back of the stove. A little salsode in the water is a sanitary precaution, and it is well to remember that wooden bowls should never be placed on the shelf upside down. Put up a small amount of fruit at a time. The result is more satisfactory, and in this way the work is done with less fuss and feathers than when a whole day is consumed. Care in selecting the fruit is important; be sure to take it under, rather than over, ripe. Imperfect, cheap fruit is never an economy. The most satisfactory way, if one is afraid of experiments, lies in the old-fashioned way of "kettle canning," which means merely stewing the fruit with an equal amount of sugar and sealing in hot cans or jars or glasses. Special Master B. V. McKeever tiled report to this effect in the supreme M T Wooden Utensils Jelly Tips. ABSENCE W E ARE apart as east and west, Yet there is none in all the world My faithful eyes rest on his face; The eyes of love have vanquished space. Through time and tide drive on apace, My love sees me. His voice, at morning, noon and night, I ever hear. The sky and earth and sea unite Mine to his ear. My thoughts are his, and his are mine, For just us two the heavens shine; So close he seems—yet, sweetheart mine, Come here! come here! Two Eats Summer Dishes Asparagus is extra dainty if served with a Hollandaise sauce to which is added the juice of a blood-orange and a bit of finely grated orange peel. For the Hollandaise, put two tablespoons of good vinegar into a pan with salt and pepper. Boil down to a teaspoonful. Add to this two tablespoons cold water and the yolks of two raw eggs. Stir till thick, then add an ounce of butter, stirring it off the fire till it melts. Let it reheat, and add gradually more butter, perhaps three ounces in all. Add a spoonful of water to keep it from turning. (This is an elaborate French recipe.) Strawberries are delicious served in a scooped out pineapple with dice of the pineapple pulp, marinaded with a light wine and powdered sugar. Put frozen or whipped cream on top, after refilling the pineapple. Nuts or Meat Nuts have an extraordinary food value; they are the cheapest form of energy, and contain protein in abundance. For this reason they are a meat substitute, not an accessory. They should not be eaten as a windup to a hearty meal, except in very small quantities. There are many combinations of nuts which are both attractive and wholesome—can be made into soups, sandwiches and salads, and are excellent taken with all kinds of fruit. The oil in the nut combines readily with the acid. Salt should be eaten freely with nuts. In hot weather they are nourishing substitute for hearty foods, but remember to eat sparingly when meat is used. "THE TALCUM POWDER." E WALKED into a gra- cafe, Said he: "Bring on you eats; The mortgages are pa- corn's riz; I'm in for lots of treata The waiter brought menu card. Which he before he faunted. "Just bring me some this," he said. By French words not ing daunted. "This" proved to be p tatoes; so He ordered some "that." Potatoes, too! Surrounded by Potatoes—there he sat! And then he asked for strawberries; They served him in a trice Said he: "Why do you bring me fruit, All doed with talqm powder?" Brandied Peaches. There is no preserved fruit which so well repays the time and trouble of its preparation. Brandied peaches "go" well with any meal—a simple luncheon, a light supper or elaborate dinner. They may be served as a side dish with game or meat, or, whipped cream being added, they make a delicious and uncommon dessert. Select large, perfect peaches, place in a colander, carefully, and steam gently until hot through. Then peel and drop into hot syrup to cook a few moments. Do not let them get mushy. Do not stir them. Put them away in large, open-mouthed jars that they may not be broken, and pour over them any rich syrup flavored with brandy to taste. The Clever Goose A lesson in social economy can be learned from the goose. The letter V which they form in flight has its origin in an instinct of mutual aid. Every wing stroke of the rear birds drives a strong current of air forward, which helps to force the air pressure on the leaders. Perhaps we can gain a lesson in the value of mutual help in the world's work—in the importance of effort to make the burdens of life easier for the backward and the slow. But if it has no strong moral lesson, it may, at least, give us a better opinion of the scientific knowledge and economic justice of the much despised goose. A Discord in A Flat The Average Man (buttoning up his coat)—Well, dear, I must be off. It's the first of the month, you know, and there's lots to do at the office. The Highly Strung Woman (tenderly)—Poor old Jackets. Has to work like a slave all day, so his little wife can wear the latest things in foulards. The Av. M.—Oh, by the way, I may have some comps. for the Hollis tonight. Would you like to go? The H. S. W.—Would I like to go? Why, you dear old boy, I should say I would. The Av. M.—Don't plan too much on it, for I may not get the tickets. There's an awful rush for seats. The H. S. W.—How perfectly lovely! But, Jack, dear, who's going to give you the tickets? You haven't any friends on the stage, have you? The Av. M.—Oh, I've lots of friends you've never heard anything about. Good-by, dear. (He enters the elevator and disappears. The Highly Strung Woman sits down and begins wondering if Jack meant what he said, and if he really has a lot of friends on the stage.) (Late afternoon. The Highly Strung Woman in the sitting-room of the uptown flat, reading the latest novel. The Average Man enters.) Mr. H.—Noth Med. I told fun, and now shit, after I've ex joke. Mrs. M. (puttin Highly Strung W all about, dear? Mr. H. (irrita necessity for my family squabble I going to do Will you be re Edith? Mrs. H.—I do after your being stay at home—probably. Mr. H.—Don't I'll stop in for (He walks out. Mrs. M.—Now dear. Mrs. H. (pickin Mr. H. has left it to the Sympathy that's the cause. You look it over and bathe it out with his everything, and M. Mrs. H. (read Mrs. H. (trum what I wanted Mrs. H.—Back so soon, dear, and it's hardly five o'clock? Oh, did you get the tickets? Mr. H.—Yes, there they are. (Hands her a small theatrical envelope.) Mrs. H. (tearing envelope open and examining stubs)—What luck! We're way down in D. You'll have to prom- "I Never Knew Any Chorus Girls." ice, Jack, not to make goo-goo eyes at any of the chorus girls, for we'll be almost in the bald-headed row. Mr. H.—You seem to forget that I'm out of college now, and that I have become a sedate old married man of 29. Whew! but I'm tired. (Throws himself down on the couch; she picks up the pass which accompanies the stub and reads the following:) HOLLIS THEATER. Pass ..... Two On account of..... Kit..... J. RICH, Manager. Not good on Saturdays or Holidays. Mrs. H. (reading aloud)—On account of Kit. Who on earth is this Kitty, Jack? Mr. H. (foolishly trying to joke with a highly strung woman)—Why, that's one of the $40,000 chorus girls. I used to know her before I met you and reformed. Mrs. H. (excitedly)—You don't mean it, Jack, do you? You don't know any of those horrid creatures; tell me you were just trying to plague me. Mr. H. (soothingly)—Of course I was joking. Don't get so excited, my dear. You fly up like a sky-rocket. I never knew any chorus girls. Mrs. H.—You did, too. Mrs. Medlar told me so the other day, and she knew you before you ever saw me. She says you used to be a regular rounder, Jack. Mr. H. (energetically)—D—— Mrs. Medler and her continued meddling. If any woman were ever well named, it's she. Mrs. H.—Now, don't get profane, Jack. There's no need of losing your temper about it. I'm beginning to believe you know some girl in the troupe and that's where you got those complimentaries. Mr. H. (impatiently)—I told you I was only fooling. Besides, chorus girls don't have tickets to give away. They never give away anything. But believe whatever that gossiping old hen tells you. I don't know that it makes much difference. Mrs. H. (on the verge of tears)—Why, Jack, how can you say such horrid things to me! Of course, it makes all the difference in the world. You know if I really did believe it I go back to mother to-morrow. Mr. H. (thoroughly exasperated)—Well, that would be pleasanter for me than having your mother come here. (The Highly Strung Woman begins to weep. At the same time the maid ushers in Mrs. Medlar, who has run in from the flat below.) Mrs. M.—Why, Edith, what on earth— Mrs. H. (tearfully)—Jack's been cross to me again, that's all. I suppose I ought to get used to it, but I can't. Mr. H.—D—n! Mr. H.—Nothing of the kind, Mrs. Medlar. I told her something in fun, and now she insists on believing it, after I've explained it was only a joke. Mrs. M. (putting her arm around the Highly Strung Woman)—What was it all about, dear? Mr. H. (irritably)—I don't see the necessity for rehearsing our little family squabbles before every caller. I'm going to dress for the theater. Will you be ready in half an hour, Edith? Mrs. H.—I don't believe I'll go now, after your being so mean to me. I'll stay at home—and cry my eyes out, probably. Mr. H.—Don't talk such nonsense. I'll stop in for you when I'm ready. (He walks out.) Mrs. M.—Now, tell me all about it, dear. Mrs. H. (picking up the pass, which Mr. H. has left behind, and handing it to the Sympathetic Friend)—There, that's the cause of the whole trouble. You look it over while I fix my hair and bathe my eyes. But I'm not going out with him unless he explains everything and is nice about it. Mrs. M. (reading)—Who is Kitty? Mrs. H. (triumphantly)—That's just what I wanted to know. First he told me it was one of Held's chorus girls, then, when he saw how I took it, he tried to turn it off as a joke. Mrs. M.—I don't believe it was a joke, Edith. You know he did use to carry on dreadfully before you married him. Mrs. H. (beginning to weep again).—He said he never knew any chorus girls. Mrs. M.—Why, the old hypocrite! That's what his father took him out of Harvard for. He used to chum with Aldy Armand, whose uncle ran the Tremont street theater, and both the boys were behind the scenes three or four times a week. Mr. Armand told Mrs. Spencer— Mrs. H. (hurriedly)—Don't, Emily, I can't bear it. To think we've been married only a year and a half, and Jack said to-night that he'd rather have me go home than to have mother come here. Mrs. M. (sympathetically)—The brute! Mrs. H. (sobbing)—N-no, Jack isn't exactly a bru-bru-bru, but he doesn't understand wom-wom-women. Mrs. M.—I wouldn't let my husband say anything like that to me. Why, it's outrageous! 1 wonder what she looks like? She's probably a bleached blonde. Mrs. H. (hysterically).—I know what she'd look like if I had her here now. I'm not going with him to-night, anyway. Will you stay with me this evening, Emily, and comfort me? Mrs. M.—Of course I will, you poor, abused dear. (The Highly Strung Woman rests her head on the Sympathetic Friend's shoulder and weeps copiously. The Average Man knocks lightly on the door, and enters attired in a dress suit). Mr. H. (after an awkward pause).—Well, Edith, have you come to your senses yet? Mrs. H.—N-no, and I'm not coming to—I mean, I'm not going to see any of your old college friends. Mr. H. (aside in great disgust).—What foolishness! (Aloud): Come, dear, don't make such a spectacle of yourself. Your nose is getting all red and blotched. Mrs. M. (under her breath)—What a monster! Mr. H. (hearing the remark)—Mrs. Medlar (by name and disposition), I think perhaps I had better make an explanation, since you have brought this little misunderstanding of ours to such a climax. It all began by the wording of that pass, which I see you have appropriated. Merely in fun I said it was given to me by a corus girl I used to know. Now, common sense ought to teach any woman that if such had been the case I wouldn't have told my wife. The Kit on that card is the abbreviation for Frank Kitson, press representative for the Hollis. You know him yourself, Mrs. Medlar, and you also know that he and I have been friends for years. Now, I don't want to be inhospitable, but I think Edith and I can settle this better if we are alone for a few minutes. Mrs. M. (highly indignant)—Mr. Hornung, you will never have the opportunity of insulting me in this flat again. I will tell my husband what you have said this very night. Goodby, Edith, dear. (The Sympathetic Friend stalks out of the room. The Highly Strung Woman throws her arms around the Average Man in a moist but affectionate embrace.) Mrs. H.—You were right, dear, it was all her fault. She stirred me up as she always does, and she is a meddling old thing. But you ought to have told me in the first place that Kit wasn't a Kitty. Oh heavens! (Catching sight of her face in the glass.) My nose is a sight. Wait a minute and I'll fix it. (She runs to her chiffonniere and manipulates a white, puffy thing for a few minutes, then puts on her hat and comes back to him.) 'I'm all right now, Jackets. Kiss me, and tell me where we're going to dinner. COSTLY PRIZE OFFERED. W. K. Kellogg of Battle Creel, Mich. Gives a $1,000 Trophy to Be Competed for by the Farmers. BAITLE CREEK, Mich., July 28.—For the purpose of stimulating the interest of the farmers of the country in the improvement of the crops and theuring a greater yield, W. K. Kellogg of this city has offered a gold and silver trophy to be competed for at the third annual national corn exposition to be held at Omaha, Neb., Dec. 6 to 18 of this year. The trophy will be known as the W. K. Kellogg National Corn Exposition trophy, will cost $1,000, and will become the personal property of any exhibitor winning it. The trophy will be the shape of a massive vase, and will probably be designed and built by either Gorham or Tiffany. Mr. Kellogg has just returned from Chicago where he held a conference with Professor P. G. Holden of the Iowa State Agricultural College at Ames, and Stanley Clague, head of a large Chicago advertising agency. Professor Holden is known as the foremost authority of the country on corn growing, and Mr. Kellogg, who is a large manufacturer of food products made from corn, is keenly interested in all movements affecting the cereal. This year he has donated $1,000 to be divided in several prizes among the corn growers of Iowa, and at Professor Holden's suggestion, he decided to offer the Kellogg trophy to be competed for by the corn growers of the nation. "Corn is the greatest crop of the country," said Mr. Kellogg today, "and the bigger the yield of corn the greater the country's prosperity. Seed selection and improved methods of cultivation will not only greatly increase the yield per acre, but will also increase the protein in the corn and the yield per acre, for instance, can be increased five bushels in the state of Nebraska alone, it will add $25,000,000 to the wealth of the farmers of the state. The National Corn Exposition is doing a great work in educating the farmers, and I am glad to help the work along." WHY, OF COURSE. "Farmer, which of those cows of yours gives the buttermilk?" "None of 'em. The goat." "Farmer, which of those cows of yours gives the buttermilk?" "None of 'em. The goat" He Bit. The city man was jogging on toward the summer boarding house in a rickety old wagon. The driver was glum and far from entertaining, and the city man felt rather lonely. "Fine field over there?" he ventured, after a long silence. "Fine," grunted the driver. "Who owns it?" "Old man Bitt." "Old man Bitt, eh? Who are those children stacking up hay?" "Old man Bitt's boys." "And what is his idea in having them out there in the field such a hot day?" "Wal, I reckon he thinks every little Bitt helps, stranger. Anything else you want to know? Get up here, hosses." Tuberculous Children In the cities of New York and Boston there are, according to special commissions which recently investigater the subject, over 30,000 children in these two cities alone that have tuberculosis. On the basis of these and other investigations it is estimated by certain authorities that there are nearly 1,000,000 school children in the United States to-day who will probably die of tuberculosis before they have reached the age of 18. This would mean that the public is paying annually about $7,500,000 for the education of children who will die before they reach the age of 18. SURPRISED HIM Doctor's Test of Foot. A doctor in Kansas experimented with his boy in a test of food and gives the particulars. He says: "I naturally watch the effect of different foods on patients. My own little son, a lad of four, had been ill with pneumonia and during his convalescence did not seem to care for any kind of food. "I knew something of Grape-Nuts and its rather fascinating flavor, and particularly of its nourishing and nerve-building powers, so I started the boy on Grape-Nuts and found from the first dish that he liked it. "His mother gave it to him steadily and he began to improve at once. In less than a month he had gained about eight pounds and soon became so well and strong we had no further anxiety about him. "An old patient of mine, 73 years old, came down with serious stomach trouble and before I was called had got so weak he could eat almost nothing, and was in a serious condition. He had tried almost every kind of food for the sick without avail. "I immediately put him on Grape-Nuts with good, rich milk and just a little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed when I came next day 'Why doctor I never ate anything so good or that made me feel so much stronger.' "I am pleased to say that he got well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to stick to it for two or three weeks, then he began to branch out a little with rice or an egg or two. He got entirely well in spite of his almost hopeless condition. He gained 22 pounds in two months which at his age is remarkable. "I could quote a list of cases where Grape-Nuts has worked wonders."

ORVILLE WRIGHT BROKE RECORD FIRST GOVERNMENT TEST SUC- CESSFULLY ACCOMPLISHED. With Lieut. Lahm as Passenger Re- mained in Air One Hour 12 Min- utes and 40 Seconds. Washington, D. C.—The _ world’s aeroplane record for two men, as to both time and distance, was broken in a beautiful light of one hour, 12 min- utes and 40 seconds—upwards of 50 miles and at a speed averaging about 40 miles an hour, by Orville Wright at Fort Myer, with Lieut, Frank J. Lahm of the army signal corps as passenger. ‘The former record was made last year by his brother, Wilbur joint inventor with him of the machine in which both achievements were performed, at Le Mans, France, with Prof. Painleve, of the Freneh Institute, as passenger. ‘That fight was one hour nine minutes and 31 seconds, ‘The cheering which heralded the set- ing of a new mark in the conquest of the air was led by President ‘aft in person, who had sat an intensely in- terested spectator throughout — the flight, and who insisted at its conelu- sion upon personally congratulating the brothers upon their success. This success was all-important to the Wrights in that it completed the first of two crucial tests of their machine imposed upon them by the United States government—the so-called en: duranee test,” which required them to remain one hour continuously in the air with one passenger. Orville did nearly 13 minutes better than that, and could have kept on indefinitely— three hours and a half, the limit im- posed by the gasoline capacity of the supply tank, Wabash Train in the River. Kansas City, Mo—The wreck of the Continental Limited eastbound Wabash passenger train near Orrick, Mo., about 10:80 . o'clock Saturday night caused the death o: seven per- sons, including the engineer and fire- man dnd the baggage master, who was also the express agent, an infant child and two negroes, laborers. Twenty- nine persons were so badly hurt that they were treated in the German hos- pital here, No More Bodies Found, Kansas City, Mo—The _ search for the lost trainmen in the Wabash wreck of last Saturday four miles east of Orrick continues without finding any trace of the men. The men known to be still in the wreck are: WW. A.

Washington, D. C.—At an infor mal meeting of the “progressive” sen- ators Bristow made report of a visit he made to the White house. His yisit was made In view of a statement attributed to the president criticising the position of the “pro- gressive” senators, Mr. Bristow stat- ed that he had found the president in- sistent upon a downward revision as outlined by him in his campaign speeches, and so far as he went in that direction the progressives were with him, He also told his associates the president was not especially pleas- ed with the bill so far as it has been formulated in conference. Senator Bristow, called on the nresi- dent to assure him that the pregres- sive Republicans agreed with him as to the basis of tariff revision. They felt, Bristow said, that the Republican platform should be accepted in its statement that protection should carry the difference in the cost of production plus a reasonable profit to the manu- facturer, READY FOR THE SUPREME COURT Missouri Will Appeal Two-Cent Fare and Maximum Freight Rate Laws to Highest Tribunal. Jefferson City, Missouri—Attorney General Major and Fred W. Lehman of St. Louis and Sanford B. Ladd of Kansas City, the latter two being spe- cial counsel for the state have com- pleted the assignment of errors upon which they hope the United States su- preme court will reverse the finding of Judge Smith McPherson of the feder- al court in Kansas City in his decision against the two-cent passenger fare law and the maximum freight rate act. The assignment of errors deals with both the cases, the maximum freight rate and the passenger fare laws. Even outside of Missouri there is great interest in the outcome of this appeal, as many states are interested to know if they can, by statute, con- trol local railroad rates. ‘The attorney general will ask to have the case ad- vanced, in which event he anticipates a final determination within 12 months. TUBERCULOSIS IN STATE PRISON One Hundred and Sixty Out of 812 in Kansas Penitentiary Show Signs of the Disease, Leavenworth, Kansas.—The exami- nation of the 812 prisoners of the Kansas penitentlarx to determine who were afflicted with’ tuberculosis has been completed. Dr. S. L. Axford, the prison physician, kept a close record of the result of the application of the tuberculosis tests. It was found that 160 prisoners showed signs of tuber- culosis, but that in two-fifths of the cases, it was so slight as to make it questionable. The percentage of tu- bercular patients was the highest in the insane ward, where 11 out of 21 had a positive reaction, The woman's department come next with 12 out of 39. * Holland Will Send Cruiser.

A temporary injunction probibiting the club from maintaining a locker system for dispensing intoxicating Mquors to members and their friends was granted by Juaye W. M. Dana in the district court for Shawnee county. At the same time that the proceed- ings were being worked out in the district court, John Marshall, assist- ant attorney general, filed in the Kan- Sas supreme court a petition to oust the club from maintaining the locker system, It. was a double-barreled action against the club that was started. J. J. Schneck, county attorney, brought the injunction proceedings and the at- torney general began the other suit, The injunction was based on the nuls- ance section of the prohibitory law. This provities that an injunction iay be brought to prevent persons using their property to create or maintain- Ing a nuisance and then provides that a place where intoxicating liquors are kept for sale or use as a beverage is @ nuisance. The proceedings in the Supreme court are based on the nuis- ance count and also on the clubhouse law, prohibiting the sale of liquors in clubs. A COOL RECEPTION IN CLOUDS Balloonists Encountered Snow Storm 13,000 Feet Above the Earth Were Obliged to Descend. St. Louis, Missouri.—A mid summer snow storm two miles above earth eaused John Berry, Paul J. McCullogh and John 8. Thurman, who ascended here in the balloon University City in an attempt to capture the Lahm cup to land near Savanna, Ill. They tray- eled 242 miles mostly through rain. The attempt to win the cup yas giv- en up after the bag, nettig and basket became so wet that the gas would no longer support the weight. “At one time when we were trying to get out of the snow storm,” said Capt. Berry over the long distance telephone. “We rose to 13,000 feet. We were in rain clouds nearly all night and got soaking wet. “At 7 o'clock, after I had thrown out ballast, we “left the rain cloud and went into snow. At times the basket swung around like a top. Sleet cut our faces, and we had to keep brush- ing snow off the edge of the basket to prevent its weight from retarding our flight.” The landing was made in a wheat field nine miles north of Savanna. The distance covered was about 233 miles short of the Lahm cup record of 475 miles, established by Capt. Charles De Forest Chandler in a flight from St. Louis in Oytober, 1907, THE SCHEDULES ABOUT SETTLED Hides and Oil Go On Free List, Coal, Print Paper and Iron Ore Re- duced From Senate Rates. , Washington, D.

APPROVE PRESIDENT'S STAND Nebraska Republican Convention Up- hold Tariff Revision Downward —Would Favor Use of Veto. Lincoln, Nebraska—The Nebraska State Republican convention unank mously adopted resolutions approving President Taft's attempt to secure a revision of the tariff downward and stated that it would approve his use of the veto power on a measure which did not accord with his ideas of tariff revision as expressed in his pre-elec- tion speeches favoring downward re- vision A telegram was sent President Taft by the convention: embodying the views expressed in the above resolu tion, .

CROSSED CHANNEL IN AIRSHIP LOUIS BLERIOT A FRENCHMAN LANDED AT DOVER. Flight Was Made From French Shore in Less Than 30 Minutes in ‘Small Monoplane. Dover, Eng—This sleepy seaport town experienced the keenest thrill known in a generation, when at sun- rise a white winged, bird-like ma- chine, with loudly humming motor, swept out from the haze obscuring the sea toward the distant French coast and, circling twice above the high chalky cliffs of Dover, alighted on english soil A Frenchman, Louis Bleriot, portly and red mustached, calmly descended from the saddle, limping on a bandaged foot, which had been burned on his previous overland flight. Immediately two compatriots, who had been waving a big tri-colored fiag as a signal for the landing place, fell upon him enthusiastically, embrac- ing him, shouting and pounding him on the back, They, with a few sol- diers and others who happened by chance to be on the scene, were the only persons to witness the finish of a remarkable feat. Bleriot left Les Baraques, three miles from Calais, about 4:20 a. m, on one of the smallest monoplanes ever used, He crossed the channel in a little less than half an hour, twice as swift as the fastest mail boat. His speed averaged more than 45 miles an hour, some times it approximated 60 miles. He kept about 250 feet above the sea level and for ten min- utes, while about mid-channel, was out of sight of both coasts and the French torpedo boat destroyer which followed him, with his wife and friends aboard. HERBERT LATHAM AGAIN FAILED Within Two Miles of Dover Machine Fluttered Down to Sea injuring the Occupant. Dover, England—Herbert Latham’s second attempt to fiy across the Eng- lish channel ended disastrously. Al- most in the moment of victory his monoplane fluttered down into the sea two miles beyond the Admiralty Pier, like a bird with a broken wing. Thou- sands of persons crowding the water front saw the fall and for nearly half an hour they were kept in suspense, not knowing whether or not the daring aeronaut had met death. A flock of large and small craft raced to the scene of the disaster and a pinnace from the British battleship Russell picked up the unlucky flyer and put him aboard the French tor- pedo boat destroyer Escopette. After ‘@ surgeon had attended to his injuries, the destroyer brought Latham ashore and he was taken to the Lord Warden hotel: His face was bandaged and bleeding and his nose was broken. The machine, badly wrecked, was hoisted from the boat to the dock. NO MORE KOW-TOWING TO RICH Loeb Declaes That He Will Hereafter Collect the Revenue and Do it Quick. New York, N, ¥.—‘There will be no more kow-towing to the rich by the customs agents of this port,” announe- ed Collector William Loeb, jr., “no more skip-through-easy subserviency. Heretofore the poor school teacher who had taken a frugal trip abroad has all the worst of it, but from now on we are going to have quicker clear- atices, more revenue and fewer dis- gruntled citizens.” By placing customs desks on both pasenger decks of in-coming liners, instead of on one only, as formerly, Mr. Loeb was recently able to clear the Louisiana in one hour, against a past average of three; and he says he expects eventually to cut the time to 30 minutes. “I feel proud,” he added, “that while we have lessened the clearipg time two-thirds, we have in- creased the customs receipts 100 per cent.” ‘They Want Aeroplane. Race. Seattle, Washington—President J. E. Chilberg of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition sent dispatches to Louis Bleriot, Herbert Latham, the Wright brothers and T. C. Curtiss, offering a prize of $5,000 and gold medals for a competitive aeroplane race beginning on the world’s fair stadium and extend- ing over Lake Washington, which is 22 miles long and one end of which touches the world’s fair grounds. + Trolley Wreck Kills One.

The deep, Darrow lots so often found in eastern cities are not well calculated to fur- nish a proper setting for a house the width of this one. ‘The house is not such a great big affair, either, for, while the width is 4736 feet, the depth is only 29 feet. But you get the size at the sides where you most need it. ‘This plan is well suited to a suburban lot where you are supposed to have plenty of elbow room, where you can mow the grass on your own lawn with- out walking over on your neighbor's lot to turn around. ~It is not an expensive house to build, because the main framework is rectangular in form with square cor- ners. There are projections encgh to relieve the monotony of a straight- sided house, but they are also square- cornered and easily constructed. And the roof is all plain, straight work, that any man, although not a regular carpenter, can work on to advantage. ‘These are all points that save in ex- pense when building. You know the main cost of a house is the labor, and Iam going to give you another point- er. You can build a house that is just as good with a great deal less money if you select a design with trimmings that may be furnished from stock carried regularly by Tumber- men, because you are saving hand la- bor. Stock patterns of moldings, doors, and what are termed cabinet parts of houses that are carried in regular stock are just as neat and at- tractive as especial designs worked out to fit some particular style. There jare so many stock patterns and siaes ‘to choose from that almost any one can be satisfied without going into specialties. ‘The shape and general plan of this house makes it possible to lay out good, large, square corner rooms downstairs, with a center ae and bathroom in the rear without en- eroaching upon the size of one room to accommodate another. I like a center hall when you have room enough. It gives an impression ot elegance as you enter the front door. First impressions are often lasting. True hospitality commences as you enter the house. If you re ceive the right kind of greeting you feel at home at once. It assists a hostess immensely to have <n entrance soe GPSS] ee E my Patios PS eee ie First Floor Plan to her house that impresses guests fa. vorably at first glance. | Besides the general apearance, this hallway is a great convenience. It connect the front and back halls in an easy manner and offers a con- venient way of going upstairs or down | cellar. In fact, the two halls and stairway deserve especial considera. tion. It would be difficult to design anything more appropriate for 2 house of this size and shape. ” There is one bedroom and a bath- room on the first floor. This makes : 8 very convenient arrangement where there are only two in the family and guest rooms are wanted for occasional visitors. Advantage is taken of the rib root to build two splendid bed- Tooms on the second floor with fine large windows in the gable ends. Be- sides these we have a second bath- room, which is a great convenience when there are more than two oF three persons in the house. The plan works well in another way. If a maid is kept you have con- veniences downstairs that will appeal to a first-class girl. Times are such that you cannot keep good help unless you provide them with comfortable sleeping quarters and proper bathing facilities. ‘There is a little room 7 feet by 12 Lo ee | tea | l | | Second Floor Pian . feet 6 inches over the front hall that may be used as a bedroom for chil- dren, for storage or for a sewing ogi Moke wraiea ecbably aod Most abl ld prefer to make this little room into a work room. The window looks out onto the street, where there is some- thing going on and where a woman can see callers as they approach. Every woman likes to have a little warning a few minutes before answer- ing the door bell, if possible. You know life is made up of a great many little things, and this is one of them. If we get all the little details arranged to our liking the big things will take care of themselves. In studying a house plan, the size of the family, distance from town, rail- road or other transportation facilities, the size of lot, the neighborhood and @ great many other things must be taken into account. While a man’s house may be his castle, he does not want to stay in the house all the time, and he cannot live alone. In building he must provide not only for his fam- fly, but on certain occasions for his friends as well. © In this plan the large living room, with the big fireplace, flanked at the sides with comfortable seats, all help to make the house attractive to oth: ers @s well-as ourselves. Such rooms usually are furnished with large, heavy furniture that is comfortable as well as attractive to look at. The fireplace itself is a splendid ornament and, of course, it is always embellished with interesting bric-a-brac, and there 4s al- ways a fire when the temperature re- quires one. Any woman can be popu- lar in the neighborhood if she has a room like this and understands how to entertain in proportion to her advan- tages. While the front of the house is given especial consideration, the kitchen is by no means ae Ie has a corner of the house all by itself, with a good pantry exd plenty of win dows and convenienoes to save steps. It is not necessary nor desirable to have a large kitchen. We have dis- carded the big wood cooking stove with its wood box; we have quit using the old-fashioned heavy cast-iron pots and kettles, and we are slowly learn- ing that the large half-acte kitchen is no longer needed. We are saving the extra cleaning and the many miles of unnecessary steps that large kitchy ens entail.

They are popular in the quiet villages, the homes of the rich, in the crowded cities, and in the busy market towns. These plays are written with the object of intensifying the bitterness and contempt of the people against the foreigner. The story of plunderings and massacres of their forefathers is vividly portrayed, with all the dramatic power that the actors possess. The foreigner is represented as a monster in appearance. His face is dragged out of shape and his mouth is made to appear near his ear. His beard on one side is red and on the other blue. His eyes are fierce and staring, and murder is stamped upon his hideous features. The people of the interior, who have never come into actual contact with the foreigner, have this conception of the hated barbarian. To their minds Americans, French, English, Germans are all alike, barbarians to be destroyed. Strength of Money. When we consider the amount of wear and tear to which a bank note is subjected, we ought to be able to realize its physical strength. In a recent experiment sheets were drawn at random from piles of paper weighing 14 pounds to the ream. Each sheet was halved and weighed, and each half was folded double when tested. One, offering 61 square inches, stood a strain of 100 pounds. The same-sized sheet, 16 pounds to the ream, stood a strain of over 300 pounds. The average results of Crane paper, 14 pounds to the ream, with sizing, were a perpendicular strain of 3 1-3 pounds to the square inch, and a transverse strain of 4% pounds.

With a groan of despair he made up his mind to die. Ruined financially, and with not a particle of hope for getting on his feet again, he realized that the only chance for his family escaping pauperism and its attendant miseries was to obtain immediate use of his heavy life insurance. Furthermore, if he lingered on he would be unable to pay the premiums on his policies, which unfortunately were not oid enough to carry themselves, so that they would forthwith lapse. Death, therefore, was the only solution to the problem. It was a decision the bitterness of which can only be understood by those forced by circumstances to confront it. He put on his hat and overcoat and went out of the house, lest the expression on his telltale countenance should betray to his loved ones his fell intention. While he was traversing the crowded streets he would consider the best and least suspicious modes of consummating his purpose. If he could encompass it so that the thing looked to the world like an accident, so much the better. There would then be no scandal. As he stepped from the curb to cross the street an automobile, driven by a reckless joy-riding chauffeur, came tearing around the corner at terrifying speed. And the energetic leap which the would-be suicide made back to the sidewalk out of harm's way was a caution. ```markdown ``` Satisfaction IN EVERY POUND OF "Wichita's Best "Four POENISCH BROS., Agents 622 N.

Sealing does not consist only of hurried scrambling over ice, and fierce breathless battling afterwards. There are many hardships to endure. The most common type of Arctic weather is a dense, lung clogging fog, with a rasp of cold that is enough to freeze a glowing furnace. This fog may be diversified with cruel blizzards of petting snow, borne on the wings of the constant gales. Once the snow passes come sleet and rain—rain that is as cold as ice. Misery prevails greatly among the crews of Arctic sealers, for the dampness and the cold soon sap the stoutest constitutions. PATENT TO NEGRO DENTIST Washington. - Patents have been issued to J. H.

Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and innabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and very cainty—and preserve only the spawn, of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and swims about for provender. Getting Ahead of One's Self.

His parents are convinced that Clarence will be a great man; the only doubt is whether it will be as a statesman or scientist. He is only four years old, and their confidence is based largely on one incident. The boy never told of it, and it would have been lost to history if a neighbor had not been a chance witness. Clarence lives in the suburbs, and has a cat and kittens. One day he went into the yard next door with one of the little ones to play. There was a big pile of brushwood here, and he shoved his pet into a hole in this. She crawled so far back that all his efforts to get her out were vain. Had he been a man he would have pulled the pile of brush apart, but lacking strength for this he resorted to cunning. Running home, he soon returned with the mother cat. He shoved her into the hole after her offspring, and she soon came out with the little one between her teeth. Clarence bore them both home in triumph.

There is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodesia. These natives are small of stature, with large horns on their heads. The horn springs from the scalp, consists of the native's hair mixed with fat and filth, and is sometimes as much as 18 inches long. For the most part these Kaffirs live on the great open flats to be found on both sides of the Kafue river. They build their huts on the great ant heaps which appear like hills scattered over the flats. When the Kafue is in flood and the flats are changed into great lakes these people are safe in their huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle also take refuge on the ant heaps on which corn and mecales are likewise grown.

A law framed thousands of years ago by the ancient Romans, and the only one bearing on the subject, may have to be amended or vholly nullified before airships go shooting about through space at their own sweet will. This important fact was brought out at a meeting of aeronauts in London. At present nobody has the right to fly across occupied land. The world is governed by the ancient Roman law, "Usque ad Coelum." It means that every landowner has a right to the air above his head as far up as he chooses to go, and can get an injunction to restrain anyone from flying through it. So far nobod; has attempted to put the law in force. It would be most uncomfortable, not to say disastrous, for a farmer suddenly to emerge from his barn or smokehouse and pepper one's airship with buillets. The fact that the aeronaut from his lofty perch could not be expected to see the "No Trespass" sign might not prove a mitigating circumstance with the rural magistrate. Rats: A captain on an ocean liner tells the following story: Coming from the old country was a very nervous old lady who complained that she was sure there was a rat in her stateroom. "Keep it there, madam," said the captain. "But do you like rats?" asked she. "I've got a nest in my cabin," retorted the brusque seaman, "and I never disturb them. When they leave the ship I do." "No, me'am," wound up the captain. "I'm not, but the rats are." NEW WONDERS OF MEN AND NATURE By Henry M. Hyde Catching Butterflies by the Ton HE caterpillar of the "nun" moth has recently wrought great destruction among the fir forests of Germany, many hundreds of acres being ruined by their depredations. An inventive German, who had suffered from destructive work of this tree, This Green Bug Did $60,000,000 Damage $48 Profit from This Tree THE caterpillar of the "nun" moth has recently wrought great destruction among the fir forests of Germany, many hundreds of acres being ruined by their depredations. An inventive German, who had suffered from destructive work of the moths and who had noticed how strongly they were attracted by the rays of an electric arc light, recently devised a spectacular method of capturing and killing the pests on a wholesale scale. On the tower of the city hall in Zittau, Saxony, which city is entirely surrounded by great fir forests, he set up an electric searchlight of great candle power. Immediately below the light he installed a suction fan. Then, on a dark night, he turned the searchlight into the depths of the forest. Out of the thick woods, came hundreds of thousands of the destructive moths, flying in an unbroken procession along the path of light which led them to the top of the city hall tower. There, as they approached closely to the source of illumination, they were caught by the suction fan and drawn in to destruction. On one occasion more than 400,000 "nun" moths were thus destroyed in an evening. The same ingenious process is to be adopted wherever forests or orchards are greatly damaged by night-flying insects. FROM the irrigated lands of the great northwest come stories of profit from a single acre of land, which may well make the average owner of gold mine stock envious. More than once the annual crop of apples from an irrigated orchard has averaged above $1,000 an acre. Pears have netted double this amount. Cherries grown on such trees as the one shown above bring, in good years, $1,200 an acre. Last May, A. C. Carter, living near Spokane, sold cherries from a single tree, such as is pictured, for $48. E. V. Martin of Wenatchee, sold 2,800 boxes of tomatoes from one acre, making a net profit of $700. Though it takes hard work, good judgment and good luck to get a thousand dollars an acre from a single season's crop, people everywhere should be interested in the fact that by modern, intensive methods of farming, more money can be made from a suburban lot than from many an old-time quarter section. THE tiny wasp shown enlarged in the illustration, last year saved the farmers of Kansas and the southwest something like $60,000,000. The favorite breeding place of this wasp is the body of the microscopic green bug, which in 1906 and 1907 did terrific damage to the wheat crop in Kansas and adjacent states. Prof. B. J. Hunter of the Kansas State Agricultural college, discovered that the little wasp was the green bug's most determined and destructive enemy. He collected millions of eggs and sent them all over the state to farmers who applied for help when the green bug pest appeared. As a result the green Earth Beings Cannot Live in Climate of Mars By Capt. Ellis D. Morson NE thing only is undisputed about the climate of Mars, and it is that if we were transported there we should instantly die. How far this incontrovertible fact is compatible with forms of intelligent life such as we know nothing of is a matter on which Prof. Lowell is not in agreement with the larger number of astronomers who have had opportunities of observing Mars. Let us, however, before inquiring where the observer of Flagstaff observatory, Arizona, differs from those astronomers whom he has called the "gifted objectors who have not seen the canals," set down points on which the larger number of astronomers are in agreement. In the first place there are distinct markings on Mars. These markings have been known for a very long time; and have been mapped by many observers since Schiaparelli, the Italian astronomer, announced certain peculiarities about them 30 years ago. A point of which Lowell makes a great deal is that these maps all coincide very closely in setting down the places where the lines on Mars appear, and in tracing the directions which these lines take. It is hardly necessary to say that the lines appear to nearly all observers as straight lines. A new question, however, now arises: The question of the trustworthiness of "seeing." If one imagines an astronomer—not very exacting about the quantity of oxygen necessary for his support—setting up a telescope on Mars to point at the earth, we shall have to allow that he would not see very much. Our dense atmosphere, with the singular watery envelope that it is suspected of possessing at great heights, would reflect Catching Butterflies by the Ton O T so much of the sunlight falling on us; the masses of clouds of the "wine dark seas" would add so much to the dazzling impression, that hardly in the course of a long life would the Martian astronomer be able to glimpse every part of the earth. It is otherwise with Mars. Just as it is said that every nation has the newspapers it deserves, so every planet has the atmosphere it can hold. In oxygen, in nitrogen, in hydrogen, in every gas, the particles, the molecules of the gas are ever striving to fly away into space at speeds of thousands of miles a second. The lighter the gas the greater the speed; and the only thing that keeps an atmosphere inclosing a planet is the pull which the planet's_weight or gravity exerts. It is because the moon is so light in weight that it fails to hold any perceptible atmosphere at all. The planet Mars is in many ways midway in characteristics between the moon and the earth; but it resembles the moon more than the earth in its falling grip on its gases. Its atmosphere is, therefore, very thin. One consequence of this is that we see Mars very clearly. But we do not see it as clearly as we see the moon. Its atmosphere does not refract light to a very dazzling extent; and most astronomers believe that no clouds are ever seen floating on it. There are dusky veilings on its disc, that cross it like flying shadows; but these are great dust-storms raised by tempeats such as would eclipse the wildest tornado which ever raged on our modest planet; and there are apparitions which Lowell has identified as snowstorms such as sweep over a polar continent. In short, in spite of the clearness and lightness of the Martian atmosphere, "seeing Mars" has been described by an observer at Lowell's own observatory as "like looking at a Swiss landscape from a high Alp, with the summer clouds sweeping about one. Now the mist rolls away, revealing a bit of the valley, and shuts in again in a moment, while in some other spot the clouds break away and disclose a jagged summit or a portion of a shining glacier." It requires, therefore. bugs were practically destroyed and a full wheat crop was reaped. The year before this destruction the green bug destroyed wheat to the estimated value of $60,000,000. THE somewhat complicated piece of machinery above is going to create a revolution in the gold mining industry. Heretofore it has been impossible to work many promising placer deposits because of the fact that no water was available. The new machine gets the gold out of mine waste, sand and gravel, without the aid of a drop of water. With it in use, dirt running as low as 50 cents a yard can be handled with a good profit. It will help to dot the dry deserts of the southwest with mining camps. THE whims of a bride should, of course, always be respected. But when on the day before her bridal morn, a young woman of East St. Louis announced that she would not be married unless she could move directly into a brand new home of her own, the problem seemed a difficult one. Fortunately her pros- Will Turn Deserts Into Gold Mines This Tiny Wasp Destroys the Green Bug Wasting Gas Enough to Run All New York wed exc hous than trad spee seve was This room cept porc and built sion built in 2 House Built in One Dau Cheap Ice Maker for Everu Kitchen young wom- be married source. He purchased a lot over some of her night, called in an enterprising con- tractor and at seven o'clock of the special astronomical aptitude both to see and to map the Martian "canals," and we need not be surprised that many astronomers criticise Lowell's estimate of the number of the canals as 426 and of the "oases" they join as 188. What are these lines and spots—are they canals? Prof. Lowell and his assistants, Mr. Lampland and Mr. Slipher, express no doubt on the question; and up to a certain point they have very doughtily met objection after objection to their theory. It must be understood that no responsible person now denies that there are markings on Mars. What astronomers dispute is whether these markings are as numerous as Flagstaff observatory declares, and whether they are artificial in character. We may cede their number. Are they artificial? One argument in favor of their having been made by intelligent beings is that some of the lines appear to run parallel for hundreds of miles. The reality of this appearance was doubted. Mr. Lampland has photographed Mars, and there, real beyond doubt, on some of the tiny photographs no bigger than a pea, appear now and again double canals. Then there was the question of water. Was there water on Mars at all? Mr. Slipher has shown, by means of the spectroscope, that there is water in the Martian atmosphere. If there is water in the atmosphere then Mars may be less cold than Lowell's opponents have declared, and the atmosphere itself more dense. If that be true then there may be water in these long lines which Lowell calls canals, and these canals may have been built by reasoning beings, who thus sought to irrigate their scorched and drying planet with water flowing from the polar snows. That is the belief which Prof. Lowell once again asserts in "Mars as the Abode of Life," and he comes to his declaration with a vigor like the renewal he claims for the Martian spring. More than that, he threatens this stiff-necked generation of unbelievers. "Look at Mars," he says, "and you will see pictured the future of This Tiny Wasp Destroys the Green Bug Caddo gas and oil fields near Shreveport, La.-gas enough to furnish light, heat and power for all the homes and great business enterprises of Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans. The illustration shows the largest well in this field. Its crater covers an area of two acres and the gas rushes up from the depths of the earth in such force and volume, that it has been found utterly impossible to control it. For months the gas has been burning, the flames leaping more than a hundred feet in the air. Sometimes when the pressure is at its greatest, birds flying over at a great height are killed by the rising fumes and on several occasions the glow in the sky has been visible from a distance of 50 miles. There is said to be a standing offer of $15,000 for any one who can successfully put a cap on this well. THE bottom cut illustrates a newly invented English ice machine. It is worked by hand and requires so little power that a child can easily operate it. The machine is sold at retail for less than $50, and in little more than half an hour sufficient ice can be frozen to serve the purposes of the average family. Once people realize the danger they are running in using ice cut from ponds and lakes, which are often full of disease contamination, the household ice machine will doubtless prove popular. your own earth, when, by the insensible flight of the gases of the atmosphere, seas, rivers and lakes alike will leave you, and nothing will remain but arid deserts and the wintry Arctic and Antarctic. Thence alone will you be able to derive moisture for the sustenance of the vegetation, which, in its turn, will sustain a more ethereal, wasted race of men; and, like the Martians, you, too, will have to build canals hundreds of thousands of miles long, employing all the resources of your engineering skill thus to keep your pallid life within you." It may be so, and in thirst the world may perish. But the theory is artificial, as Lowell would have us believe the canals. We cannot now examine all the objections to the superstructure of the theory; and we will only say this: That in theories of worlds as in theories of life it is inadvisable to seek other than the simplest explanations. On the surface of the earth and on the surface of the moon there has been volcanic action. On all planets, Mars included, there is a probability amounting to certainty that volcanic action has taken place or is taking place, and on Mars volcanic action would probably be more marked than on the earth. Volcanic cracks such as we know exist in the moon, though geologic time has obliterated most of them on the earth, probably exist on Mars, and the lines we see there are merely cracks in the surface, from which steam exudes and creates an annual darkening crop of vegetation in the spring time. On a smaller scale similar canals and similar growth have been noticed even in the airless moon. In the island of Hawaii there are craters which by therr slow welling action furnish us with the closest parallel that is known of the forms of craters in the moon. The volcanoes of the moon were not eruptive like Etna and Vesuvius, but were pits, in which, as in the volcano at Kiluea. lava welled up. In the moon there are long cracks known as rills, of which one, the Ariadeus rill, is one hundred of miles in length. In the plains about the Hawaiian volcanoes are similar cracks on a small scale, up which steam rushes. wedding day the work of excavating for the new house was begun. More than 50 men of various trades toiled at high speed all day and at seven o'clock the job was entirely finished. This house contains four rooms, a bathroom, a reception hall, a front porch and a back stoop, and is certainly the only building of its pretensions which was ever built from the ground up in 24 hours. ONE HUNDRED MILLION cubic feet of natural gas a day are going to waste in the (Copyright, 1909, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Life's Essentials What They Really Are and Why So By JOHN A. HOBSON HAT is "necessary?" Something that is essential to life. But what life? Physical life, is the common reply. If, however, we endeavor to apply a bare physiological test it does not avail. What are the physical necessaries of life? Are they the food, clothing, shelter of the low skilled town laborer, that which was just enough to maintain the efficiency of labor and to enable them to replace themselves by their children in the labor market? Not so. The full physical life of these people is not thus secured. On the contrary, vital statistics show that they are robbed on an average of the life which they might reasonably expect to have if they enjoyed the physical conditions of the life above them. Their children, moreover, have much less than half the chance of growing to maturity possessed by the children of professional men. Good air, large, sanitary houses, plenty of wholesome, well cooked food, adequate changes of clothing for the climate, ample opportunities of recreation—is there any one of these things that does not sensibly assist to lengthen the term of physical life? Yet most, if not all, of these things would be classed among comforts or even luxuries for laborers, though numbers of the well-to-do classes would readily admit that they were necessaries for them. Again, take art, music, travel, education, social intercourse, such "goods" as generally would be classed as luxuries. Does not physiology itself insist that these and all other things which make for happiness react upon physical health and help to maintain life? The true economy of leisure, change and enjoyment, even in their effects upon duration of physical life, is only beginning to find recognition in our theory of consumption. But suppose we had ascertained what particular sum of money sufficed to maintain full length of life, does this exhaust "necessaries?" We have spoken so far of physical life and tested necessaries on this basis. But physical, moral, intellectual are not water tight compartments of humanity. Whether we regard the organic interaction of all these vital powers or take into our consideration the moral and intellectual needs and satisfactions as claims of nature which emerge later on, there is no excuse for refusing to admit the latter as necessary to life, considered as the whole, which it rightly is. with the idea that they are conferring a favor upon their employer, that they will be of such invaluable assistance to him that he will not object to certain little liberties. Or else they lie back on the fact that they are women and he is a man and consequently out of his sense of gallantry will permit certain laxities. Still others actually fail to realize that the business office is not the home. Perhaps one of the most abused of these privileges is the telephone. What office doesn't know the girl who is constantly being called up on the telephone by her numerous friends! If she has a fair amount of vanity she secretly rejoices that her fellow-workers have the opportunity to find out how popular she is. If she is inexperienced she thinks her employer won't mind a little thing like that. Visits from friends in the office are along the same line. Being a gentleman, the employer doesn't like exactly to be disagreeable about it. But a business girl ought to know that such things are not businesslike and she should tactfully discourage them. Business is business. It means an honest return of time and energy for the salary received, exactly that. It doesn't mean entertaining one's friends, using the telephone, writing letters on the firm's paper, using the firm's postage stamps and many other little liberties the young business girl takes. tion to his food in hot weather and it was during the summer months that I first tried very light breakfasts and progressed until I was satisfied with crackers and milk for luncheon. In cold weather, however, I returned to meat for luncheons, but I soon found that the bracing air had given me a false appetite and for several hours after luncheon I would experience the old feeling of drowsiness. And this reminds me of a theory of mine that we eat too much in the cold months. Although I am not a vegetarian and eat meat usually once a day at dinner, I think that nearly everybody who experiments with various sorts of meals and notes the effect on his health and capacity for work will find that he feels better when he limits the amount of meat in his menu. That has been the reason why I have changed my diet and I might say that once a man has hit upon a dietary adjusted to his own needs he can find the best of everything right here in New York. This city, I believe, is excelled by none in the purity of its food supply. As an indication of this I may say that we have condemned 21,000,000 pounds of food here during the last twelve months and that about one-third of this was meat.

A Girls are taught bookkeeping and stenography and other essentials of a business career. But they are not always posted on business ethics. After a few months or a few years in business, a woman learns some of the little ethical things of business for which no course is given in the business college. But when a girl of 16 or 18 first starts on her business career, she may be in blissful ignorance of some points that are most helpful to business success.

It is along this theory that I have proceeded to readjust my daily fare, for after having been active in athletics since boyhood I found that I was continuing the heavy meat diet even when my work was confined mostly to my desk. I was suffering from the effects of overeating long before I realized the cause was to be found in heavy breakfasts and luncheons.

The young lawyer, having been nominated for the office of county attorney, thought to surprise an eccentric genius by the name of Si who was working as a hired man on the young lawyer's father's farm. "Well, Si, what do you think?" the young man began. "Sometimes one thing, Lonny, an sometimes 'nother." "But, Si, they have nominated me for county attorney." "They might a' done worse, Lonny. Howsever, don't holler till you're out of the woods." The young attorney was duly elected, and on his next visit to the farm announced the fact unctuously to Si, who was at the woodpile, saw in hand.

Was So Sore, Irritating and Painful That Little Sufferer Could Not Sleep —Scratched Constantly. Cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven. "When about two and a half years old my daughter broke out on her hips and the upper parts of her legs with a very irritating and painful eruption. It began in October; the first I noticed was a little red surface and a constant desire on her part to scratch her limbs. She could not sleep and the eruptions got sore, and yellow water came out of them. I had two doctors treat her, but she grew worse under their treatment. Then I bought the Cuticura Remedies and only used them two weeks when she was entirely well. This was in February. She has never had another rough place on her skin, and she is now fourteen years old. Mrs. R. R. Whitaker, Winchester, Tenn., Sept. 22, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Propa, Boston.

In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Neatly Put.
