YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. Negroe's Chances Better in the South TWELTH YEAR "The South is getting tired of the political demagogne who gets office and keeps it by stiring up racial trouble," said Dr. Booker T. Washington yesterday. "This was shown by the way which Gov. Vardaman was turned down in the recent contest in Mississippi for a seat in the United States Senate. "The people down there are wearied over having racial strife arroused and you do not hear so much of the race question in the political campaigns as in former years. I think there is a tendency among the thinking white people of the South to come to the conclusion that the two races have got to live there together and that it is the sensible thing to live in peace, so that each race can help the other." Dr. Washington says that so great is the demand for admission to the Tuskegee Institute that last fall as many applicants had to be turned away as were admitted. "There was never a time in the Soth when both the colored people and the Southern whites were so much interested in industrial education as now," said Dr. Washington. It is a fact that our gratuates are in demand, and those who have had the opportunity have made good. Thete is an increased demynd for such to take charge of cotton, stock and dairy farms. We have a standing order from one firm in Birmingham who will employ any man from our foundry department that we recommend. "Down South the Negro is not debarred from places requiring skilled labor. He dosen't get into such jobs up here by hook or crook as a rule. I cannot give the reason, ut it is a fact. In the South he gets a chance to work. The colored man gets a better chance in the South and he is far better off there as a rule than in the North "Amang our students there is a growing tendency in the direction of agricultural pursuits, but the majority are not so inclined as yet. The Negro is like anybody else in that he is likely to that which gives most immediate results. In trades such as bricklaying and carpentering he is sure of making money right away, so that these attach him naturally, But the tendency toward the farm is strong. "We have now students from thirty-six States and from twenty-two foreign countries. Nearly every South American country is represented, and I think all this West Indian Islands. The Government of Porto Rico keeps about fifteen in the school." "Is the Negro taking part in the development of the new South "Well, is every crook and corn er and crevice ot it, wherever you find progress, you will find the Negro is somewhat near. The Negro is in business to a larger extent that the North understands You will find Negroes owning stores of various kinus. They own banks too. Why there are no fewer than fifty-three banks owned by colored men of which three are north as Richmond Va This has come about mostly during the last fifteen years. "At Tuskegee we are growing in the matter of building and equipment. We have put up a new dinning hall, an agricultural hall and a dormitory for girls within the last two years; two of the building having been given by New York people. We have between 1,500 and 1,6000 students and this year we shall have about 150 graduates, of whom one-third are women. A majority of the women who gratuate from Tuskegee go teaching, while some take up housekeeping. "You will find in the South, if you travel, a good deal, and I have gone into a great many communities down there, that between the individual Negro and the white man in the South there is a close relation of friendship. This is the sort of thing you do not hear about—the thousands of things that tend to promote good will. It is only about the race difficulties that reports find their way up North. "I have referred to the banks that are owned by Negroes. But the Negro can get equal credit with the white man's bank on the same terms that a white man can get it. And if a Negro wished to go an into business I do not know of an instance where he has not had the sympathy and encouragement of the white men. Things like this, of which instances are numerous in the South, never find their way to the newspapers upthere." N. Y. Sun. A Good Man For Sheriff. IN the candidacy of Mr. Edward E. Fitzpatrick, leading candidate for the republican nomination for the office of Sheriff before the Primary August 2, 1910 the Republican voters have a man whom they can support with confidence that he will fill that high office with distinction and entire satisfaction to all. Mr Fitzpatrick came to this city on June 8th. 1884 and with the exception of about four years he which he spent in building sewers and other contract work in Oklahoma and other Kansas towns, he has been a constant resident of this city. By trade Mr Fitzpatrick is a pipe fitter. For several years he has been one of prominent sewer contractors of this vicinity and as such no man has given more work to the laboring men than has he. Among no people in this community has Mr. Fitzpatrick more staunch friends than he has among the colored people of this community and they are aware that he will give them due consideration as men and as citizens. Mr. Fitzpatrick has never aspired to or held any elective office before. No voter will ever have reason reasons to regret it by casting his vote at the primary August 2nd for Ed. E. Fitzpatrick for the office of Sheriff. FOR PROBATE JUDGE It is with much pleasure that we note the announcement of Mr. Walter Matson as a candidate for the office of Probate Judge of Sedgwick County. Mr. Matson is a clean, clean-out cut sclendid gentleman and will make a most efficient officer as Probat Judge of our county. He is one of those men who are cugnizant of the rights of his fellowmen, is a most strict adherent of the golden rule. He has never held any office in our county and is well fitted. By profession he is a attorney at law and is considered one of the formost members of the Sedgwick County bar. His profession of law fits him all the mor to, in a most acceptable of manner, fill the office to which he aspires. Id dealing with his felowcitizens he weighs every man on that broad and satisfactory scale of merit and every man regardless to race or color may expect and will receive from him just and due consideration. The colored people of our county have no better friend anywhere than they have in Walter T. Matson and none of them will regret casting their vote for him on August 2nd. at the primary.

We wish it were possible that we could convey to the minds and the understanding of our people here and every where, the great force of good to be accomplished by them, as a race, by a more concentration of racial efforts. This good racial unity concentration of effort and race understanding would be of such a gigantic force that every member of our race would rapidly be a benefactor. In speaking as we do we are not criticizing or complaining about our race nor the most admirable progress along all lines, which they have made. We are cognizant of the many of obstacles and disadvantages under which our race every day labor, yet, we see that there is something yet liking and that something is a more uniform and understanding effort from a racial point of view. This like of unison makes the race, in many respects, unmindful of its own strength and its own duty to each other from a standyoint of a race It holds in check that pride of a race commercial development that race enterprise development that is sa essential to race progress, and makes the race sluggish in viewing the welfare of each from the point of the whole race. We must come closer together—so close to each other that we each can feel the burden the weights of responsibilities and interest of each one of the other. Anything that will work a hardship, a burden, obstacle or a drawback to one member of the race will, in time, work the same on some other member of the race. We must realize that odism cast at one member of our race is odism cast at the whole and an insult to one an insult to the whole. We owe to each other racial protection along all lines whether in business, commercial political, religious or social. Let us get closer together as a race—the same God made us all and the same laws, customs and usages applies to us all. When it comee to racial disadvantages, outracisms, discriminations, the draw-backs and the likes we are all on the same footing. No member of the race is granted any priviltdges that is noc granted to all and the racial discriminations extended to one extends to all—then wherem should we not be togather as one people? Away with this tom-foolery among us let us be men and women of one race all fighting for the same rights and against the same wrongs. That's manly. IOLA KANSAS.

The King Rushed to the Scene—Red Cross Active—Government Votes $100,000 for Relief. Avellino, Compartment of Campania, Italy.—Halley's comet has done it dire work. The earthquake which the superstitious predicted would result from the glowing sign they have been watching in the heavens has come. Lives were lost in half a dozen villages. How great were the casualties it is as yet impossible to tell. The earthquake was of unusual intensity and was felt throughout southern Italy, including the island of Sicily. In this city little harm was done, and the only death reported was that of an old man who died of fright. The population, however, was terror stricken. Reports from villages throughout the province are much more grave. Twenty persons are reported killed at Calitro, which is said to have been badly damaged. The situation there is distressing. Ten persons are said to have met death at San Sossio, where the sulphur waters with which the district is rich, were released from bounds by the disturbance and flooded the vicinity. From the flood noxious gases arose. At Chianche a house fell, burying and killing an aged man. One person was killed and several were injured at Castelbaronie. Clabritto was badly damaged. Squads of workmen and detachments of soldiers were dispatched from this place to assist the suffering villagers. It was in the darkest hours of the morning when the shock was felt here. The sleeping town was aroused by the shaking of walls, the rattling of furniture and the falling of plaster. In a moment panic had seized the twenty thousand inhabitants, who live in daily fear of a seismic disaster. The situation is so serious that Victor Emmanuel has gone to the scene and the government and Italian Red Cross societies are hastening relief of provisions and tents to the affected towns. Troops have been rushed to the scene. The people are terror stricken and thousands are camped in the fields, refusing to return to their homes. The government has sent $10,000 for the immediate use of the sufferers and voted $100,000 more.

"If he will be good to us and will give us about three days of 90 degree weather, you will see this bunch cleaned and get out of here so quickly you'd think there was a fire."

INDIANA POPE NEWS HOW GREAT-GRANDMOTHER DID IT. HOW TO MAKE MEN FREED FROM HOMITY SEORGIA HOW IT'S DONE TODAY. A RAILROAD AGREEMENT NOW A RAILROAD AGREEMENT NOW TO BE NO RAISE IN FREIGHT RATES AT PRESENT TIME. In Return Administration Will Discontinue Injunction Proceedings Already Commenced. Washington, D. C.—President Taft has forced the complete surrender of the big railroad chefs of the West. At the end of a four hours conference with the president in the executive offices, the representatives of the Western trunk line committee consented to the announcement that they would withdraw the proposed increase in freight rates which the administration had enjoined by the federal court in Missouri early last week. They further convened to make no further effort to increase rates until the pending railroad bill has become a law. This means that all future increases in rates proposed by these railroads must be reviewed by the Interstate Commerce commission before such new rates become effective. A latitude of 11 months is allowed the commission in which to investigate the proposed rate increase, under the bill as it is passed the senate so that there is practically a full year ahead under which the old rates must be maintained, in consequence of the agreement which the administration forced from the railway men. In return for the withdrawal of the proposed increased rates the president agreed to discontinue the injunction proceedings instituted against the western traffic committee. But it is expressly understood that this action will not be discontinued until the completed railroad bill, as agreed to finally by the two houses of congress, has received the signature of the president. WOULD BROADEN INJUNCTION Attorney General Will Include all New Railroad Freight Tariffs When He Presents Arguments. Washington, D. C.—Developments indicate that the attorney general instead of abating his efforts to restrain the 25 railroads composing the Western Trunk Line committee from putting into effect their increased rates, soon will ask the court to broaden the scope of that injunction. The attorney general made it known that it is his intention to move for the extension of the injunction, over the rates of the Western Trunk Line committee which escaped his notice when he began his hurried proceedings against the railroads in the federal court at Hannibal. This action will be taken by the attorney general, according to present plans, when argument is held before the court with a view to making the temporary injunction permanent.

HOUSE MAY STOP BALLINGER Congress Is Preparing to Investigate the Sudden Dismissal of Most Efficient Men. Washington, D. C.—Secretary Ballinger's purpose of getting rid of the subordinates in his department who testified against him may have to be revised. The house is preparing to investigate the sudden cutting off of some of the most efficient men in the service. The removal of Horace T. Jones a special agent of the department who was suspended Saturday, is to be made the basis for the proposed investigation. A resolution calling for the inquiry already has been prepared and will be introduced at the first favorable opportunity. Jones, as is the case with others who testified, were summoned by the government and forced to give his evidence. If the fact that it happened to be against his superior is to be made the reason for dismissal it is evident that a dangerous precedent is to be established in the government service. KANSAS CITY FIRM INVOLVED Federal Court Appoints Receivers for Jones Dry Goods Company— Liabilities $1,400,000. Kansas City, Mo.-Judge Philips in the United States district court appointed Charles Campbell and Henry L. Root receivers for the Jones Dry Goods company. The appointment of receivers came as a surprise to the general public, though it had been anticipated for several days in financial circles. The fact that the company had overloaded in real estate holdings and expensive leases, combined with unseasonable weather which retarded the movement of its heavily stocked shelves, conspired for the firm's undoing. The liabilities are roughly estimated at $1,400,000, and the assets at $2,000,000. The receivers say it may be several days before authentic figures are given. Business will not be suspended at the store. As far as the buying public is concerned, there will be no noticeable difference in the firm's affairs.

CONGRESS WANTS THE FIGURES Recent Action of Railroad Officials Has Aroused the Law Makers at Washington. Washington, D. C.—Congress is not through with the railroads as a result of the action of the latter in making heavy advances in freight rates. It has passed a joint resolution calling upon the Interstate Commerce commission to furnish it with a detailed statement of all the important rate increases made in the last few months. When this information is received it will be used as an argument in support of even more drastic legislation covering this feature of railroad control than appears on a bill passed by either the house or the senate.

A Washington dentist praised enthusiastically the respect paid to the memory of Horace Wells by the French government. It has created recently a statue of him in the Place des Etats Unis, in Paris, and the unveiling ceremony in March was attended by distinguished scientists from all over the world. "Professor Wells," said the dentist, "was born in Hartford in 1815. He was a pioneer in the use of nitrous oxide gas in dental operations to prevent pain, and for his discoveries in anaxes thesis he may be regarded as a bene factor to mankind. "Wells has been dead 50 years, and France is the first—a tardy first—to acknowledge the importance of his discovery, and raise a tribute to his almost forgotten memory. This case reminds me of a conversation between a little boy and his father. "Why are statues erected to a mous men, father?" said the child. "So that they may become known dear," was the answer."

If parents will give just a little intelligent thought to the feeding of their children the difference in the health of the little folks will pay, many times over, for the small trouble. A mother writes saying: "Our children are all so much better and stronger than they ever were before we made a change in the character of the food. We have quit using potatoes three times a day with coffee and so much meat. "Now we give the little folks some fruit, either fresh stewed, or canned, some Grape-Nuts with cream, occasionally some soft boiled eggs, and some Postum for breakfast and supper. Then for dinner they have some meat and vegetables. "It would be hard to realize the change in the children, they have grown so sturdy and strong, and we attribute this change to the food elements that, I understand, exist in Grape-Nuts and Postum. "A short time ago my baby was teething and had a great deal of stomach and bowel trouble. Nothing seemed to agree with him until I tried Grape-Nuts softened and mixed with rich milk, and he improved rapidly and got sturdy and well." Read "The Road to Wellville," found in pkgs. "There's a reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. The American Home WILLIAM A. RADFORD Editor THE HOME OF THE MAYOR Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority in all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 154 Fifth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. Every one realizes the advantages of building on a good wide lot, but unfortunately real estate values are so high that not every one can afford as large a space as he would like. Real estate operators have a habit of dividing up their sections into 25-foot lots, probably because that is a con- PORCH PATIOT KITCHEN DINING ROOM VESTIBUL PATIOT PORCH First Floor Plan ventent number to figure with and not because it makes a space well suited for home building purposes. As a matter of fact, it is a difficult matter ordinarily to design a satisfactory frame house to occupy a 25-foot lot. Some space must be left on each side for light and air; also the fire hazard arising from too close building must be considered. The accompany design solves this problem especially well. The total width is 20 feet, being the width at THE HOME OF THE MAYOR the bay window. The balance of the right-hand wall is recessed $2\frac{1}{2}$ feet, giving additional light and air. The left-hand wall has no important window openings in it, so the house can be placed well up to the lot line on that side. Accordingly, on a 25-foot lot, even though the adjoining property should be built in close, a strip of lawn $7\frac{1}{2}$ feet wide could be had along Second Floor Plan the right side of the house. This would be enough to secure good sunshine and air for the dining room and kitchen, the parlor or living room taking its light from the front. This design has been very popular with the home builders in all parts of the country, which is not surprising when one considers the very attractive and substantial outward appearance of this house and the convenient arrangement of the interior. Coming through the vestibule, which is 4 by 8 feet, access may be had to the parlor and also directly into the dining room. The parlor is 12 feet square, having a large octagon bay in --- front. A cased opening connects this room with the dining room, 14 by 19 feet in size. An open stairway at one side of this room adds to its apparent size. The kitchen is directly back of the dining room, with a good sized pantry to the left. The cellar stairs go down from this pantry. A nice feature of the dining room is the fireplace and china closet. No house should be built without a good serviceable fireplace, if such can possibly be had. As an aid to ventilation it is unsurpassed, and for comfort on the cold, rainy days of fall or spring, and even summer, when the furnace fire is out, there is nothing quite so cozy and comfortable as a blazing wood fire in the grate. The second floor of this house provides three good-sized bedrooms and a bath. There is also a generous supply of closet space. The house is planned along very economical lines, as the estimated cost, $2,000, will indicate. This estimate provides for a good grade of material throughout, red oak floors downstairs, yellow pine upstairs and birch trim throughout; also a good quality of plumbing and lighting fixtures. JUST THE SAME KIND OF BOY Youngsters in the Days of Our Forefathers Were as Mischievous as They Are Now. In a book in which Jonathan Trumbull recorded the minor cases he tried as justice of the peace is this entry: "His Majesties Tithing man entered complaints against Jonas and Susan Smith, that on the Lord's day, during divine service, they did smile." They were found guilty and each was fined five shillings and costs. But it was the "small boy" whose behavior in the meeting-house provoked the Puritan elders to groan in chorus, "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child." The boy behaved badly, because he was seated with other boys, instead of with his father and mother in a family pew. They were herded together on the pulpit and gallery stairs, and THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM titlingmen and constables were appointed to watch over them, "and see that they behave themselves comelie, and use such raps and blows as meet." In one parish it was ordered in town meeting "that there be some sticks set up in various places in the meeting house, and fit persons by them and to use them." In Miss Earle's book, "The Sabbath in Puritan New England," a story is told of Dr. Dakln hearing a noise while he was praying in a church in Quinoy. The minister opened his eyes to discover the cause, and saw a red-haired boy clutching the railing on the front edge of the gallery, while a venerable deacon clutched the boy. At last the balustrade gave way, and boy and deacon fell with a crash. The deacon then led the boy out of the meeting house, and swishing sounds, accompanied by walls, were soon heard from the region of the horse sheds. Parson Chauquey of Durham, when a boy in his congregation misbehaved in meeting and was "punched up" by the itchingman, would stop in his sermon, and calling the offender by name would ask him to call at the parsonage the next day. At these Monday interviews such tender and beautiful lessons were taught the bad boys that they looked upon Mr. Chaucy as a model of Christian patience and gentleness. A Yankee trait early showed itself, for in 1729 the town of Medford passed an order to prosecute "all who cut the seats in the meeting house." Those Puritan boys would whittle, and in spite of the itchingman's watchfulness the seats were hacked and cut—Christian Register. Killing Time. "I'm afraid Wombly won't have much of a garden this year. "What makes you think so?" "Any man who goes out in the morning to chop weeds and spends an hour or two watching a colony of ants build a new subway is more apt to buy his vegetables from a greengrocer." The KITCHEN GABINET 1 "Run, if you like, but try to keep your breath. Work like a man, but don't be work'd to death." Some Palatable Dishes From Stale Bread. Remove the crusts from broken bits of bread. Break it up into small pieces, making two and one-half cups. Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter in a spider, add bits of bread, and toss lightly until well covered with fat. Pour over the bread three eggs slightly beaten, and diluted with one-half cup of rich milk. Continue to toss the mixture lightly with a fork, so that each bit of bread is enclosed in a coating of egg. Season with salt and pepper, and serve in a hot dish. Be careful that the cooking is not overdone. The bits of bread should be soft and delicately browned. Serve with ham or bacon. Every crumb of bread may be utilized in one way or another. All bits of bread, trimmings of sandwiches and pieces of toast should be carefully gathered in a pan by themselves. The coarse crumbs left after they have been rolled and sifted are called raspings. These may be used for puddings, griddle cakes and escalloped dishes. The finer crumbs may be used for cutlets and croquettes. Stale slices of bread may be steamed and a sauce of canned fruit poured over them after giving each a coating of butter, which makes a very good and simple dessert. Stale bread cut in trangles or cubes fried in deep fat, makes a nice garnish. Stale bread cut in boxes or crustades and browned, are used to hold creamed mixtures of many kinds. A chapon of bread is the end of a loaf of French bread rubbed with a clove of garlic and put into the bottom of the salad bowl to season the salad that is heaped upon it. Brewis is a dish made of three parts brown bread and one part white. Butter a hot spider, put in the bread and cover with milk. Season with salt and butter, cook until soft and the bread has absorbed all the moisture. The butter may be omitted and served with cream. HE early dinner should be pre- ferred to the late one, but nearly every evil may be averted by taking a good meat lunch in the middle of the day." "A ravenous appetite is no dinner ap- petite." Waldorf Salad. Ingredients—One cupful sliced apples, one cupful sliced celery, and one cupful of chopped nuts. Salad Dressing—One teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful mustard, one and one-half tablespoonfuls of sugar, one saltspoonful of pepper, one cupful of milk, two eggs, one and one-half tablespoonfuls of butter, and one-half cupful of hot vinegar. Make the dressing. Mix dry ingredients, and add the beaten egg. Add milk gradually, and add vinegar slowly, stirring rapidly. Cook over hot water till mixture coats a cold spoon; stirring rapidly and constantly. Add the butter, strain and cool. Wash, and pare, and slice apples, wash and slice celery, chop nuts, and pour the dressing over. Prune Cake. One cupfulof sugar, three-quarters of a cupful of butter, three eggs, three tablespoonfuls of sour cream, one level teaspoonful of soda, two cupfuls of flour, sifted twice before measuring; one teaspoonful each of cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg, and at last, one cupful of cooked, chopped prunes or any fruit not too wet. Filling.—One egg, one-half cupful of sugar, one-third cupful of sour cream, one-half cupful of raisins, butter size of an egg. Cook all together for a few minutes and add flavoring and nuts if desired. Laundry Hints. If one is without frames to dry curtains, try pinning them down on a sheet on a carpet, using a good many pins. The curtains, if carefully stretched, look as well as if dried in frames. Use milk to remove ink spots, then let stand in vinegar and salt to finish the process. Household Hints. Copper may be cleaned with lemon or vinegar and salt, then wiped and rubbed dry. Serve crisp, cold celery with sliced cold meat. For frying use bread crumbs instead of cracker crumbs, as they soak fat less. Simple Rice Dessert. Take one cupful of thoroughly cooked rice, one cupful of sugar and one cupful of pineapple, chopped fine and one cupful of whipped cream. Mix rice, sugar and pineapple, and fold in lightly the whipped cream. Put in glasses and chill. I FIND earth not gray but rosy; Heaven not grim, but fair of hue. Do I stoop? I pick a posy; Do I stand and stare? All's blue." —Robert Browning. Baked Pears. Wash ten pears of large size. Put a clove in each pear and sprinkle with sugar, or core and fill the cavities with sugar. Put a slice of lemon and more sugar in the baking pan, and add boiling water to half the height of the fruit. Cover and steam in the oven for half an hour. Remove the cover and bake until tender. Remove the pears and cook the sirup until it jellies. Strain and pour over the fruit, and set away to cool. Serve with whipped cream. Another dessert in which these pears may serve is prepared by toasting a slice of sponge cake on both sides, dip in pear sirup, heap with whipped, sweetened cream and lay a halved pear on top, placing an almond meat in each cavity. Household Hints Muriatic acid will dissolve deposits of iron on porcelain made by the city water. It is a poison, so should be carefully put away. Use a diluted solution of oxalic acid to remove fruit stains from the hands. Get an ounce of crystals, cover with water in a bottle, and add water as it is used. It will last for years and works like a charm. It will remove iron rust from linen with a little salt, but must be carefully rinsed out after using. Generalities Try common glue to enrich the soil of your ferns. Wrap everything odorous, as fish, corned beef, etc., in cloths wrung out of cold water. Fruit keeps well in a refrigerator if wrapped in paraffin paper. Small holders to handle hot dishes may be made from the legs of old hose. Chinese Rarebit Saute a cupful of cooked rice in two tablespoonfuls of butter, add four well-beaten eggs, cook slowly, add one cupful of grated cheese and a teaspoonful of worcestershire sauce. Serve on toast or crackers. THE pity of it is that, so far as we are concerned, most of the beauty of this world goes to waste. We have no time to look at it, and to enjoy it." The Tea Table. In small country towns and in the country itself the evening meal is the time when the news of the day may be reviewed. The most of the day's work should be finished by six o'clock. The children are home from school, the wife ready after a full day to enjoy the society of her family, the husband happy in the rest of a day well spent. Some one has said, "The bottle rules the sensual world, but the tea cup is queen in all the fair dominions." Tea was once so rare that a pound cost $50, and when the East India company sent the king a package of two pounds it was considered something worth recording. Twelve hundred years ago Lo Yu, a Chinese scholar wrote of tea: "It tempers the spirit and harmonizes the mind, dispels lassitude and relieves fatigue, awakens thought and prevents drowsiness, lightens and refreshes the body and clears the perceptive faculties." Could any modern writer give any greater tribute to a steaming cup of oolong? The stimulating property of tea is due to the alkaloid, theine; it also contains an astringent called tannin. Black tea contains less theine, tannin and essential oil than green tea. The tannic acid developed from the tannin injures the coating of the stomach. Freshly boiled water should be used for making tea. Tea should always be infused, never boiled. Long steeping destroys the delicate flavor and develops a larger amount of tannic acid. Household Hints. Never go upstairs without carrying something up that belongs there, and save an extra trip. A good way of marking a poison bottle is to place a cloth over the cork and fasten it with a rubber band. There will be no danger of opening it in a hurry, or the little child will not find it so easy to open. Nut and Date Cake. Chop fine two cups of dates and two of walnuts, add two cupfuls of sugar, four eggs, and mix two teaspoonfuls of baking powder with eight teaspoonfuls of flour. Bake in a medium oven and serve with whipped cream. Generalities. Stir the boiling starch with a paraffin candle kept for that purpose. It saves time and is a very convenient way of adding the wax to the starch Squeeze a little lemon juice on the beefsteak just before serving. Nellie Maxwell. Delicate Fabrics May Be Easily Rejuvenated In Very Simple Method. Chiffon ruchings, which are solled but not crushed, can be rejuvenated by shaking them in clear gasoline and then drying them in the sunshine and air. Small articles, such as fancy neckwear in general, which must be treated gently, can be put into a fruit jar nearly filled with gasoline. Using a rubber ring, screw the top on tightly. Let the articles soak for some time, and then shake them vigorously. Rinse in the same manner in clear gasoline. Dry in the sunshine and air. Coat collars can often be cleaned by wetting a cloth in gasoline and then rubbing the soiled part. Occasionally, if the fabric will warrant it, and is very much soiled, I have used an old toothbrush for this purpose, instead of the cloth. Neckties cannot always be cleaned by the simple rubbing process. If that is so, try using a brush dipped in gasoline, to scrub the very soiled parts. Satin, of course, does not permit of this treatment. Grease spots can be removed by rubbing the spot with a good white soap, after the article has been soaked in gasoline. Rub hard and rinse thoroughly. Gasoline in which soap has been used cannot be used a second time. White kid gloves, as everyone knows, can be successfully cleaned in gasoline, and almost everyone has her own special method. Colored gloves do not clean well as a rule. It is best not to try them.—Woman's Home Companion. TO SAVE THE TEA TOWELS When Not Used as Lifters They Will Last Three Times as Long. Tea towels would last three times as long and look much whiter and neater during their lifetime if they were not used as lifters. "Permicious, slovenly habit!" says the neat housekeeper. Perhaps, but one that is common practise while utensils are hot and fingers sensitive. One housekeeper has broken her maids of this habit by providing them with a litter that is always in evidence when it is needed. She makes an eight-inch square of several thicknesses of old tea toweling, in which she slips a layer of bestos paper or a thickness of canvas. The edges are turned in, stitched, and to one corner is fastened a long tape with buttonhole at other end. By means of buttonhole, the holder can be fastened to button of apron band and the lifter kept in apron pocket until needed. Candied Pineapple Strips. "Candied pineapple strips are delicious and are easily prepared," says Sally Sanders in Woman's Home Companion. "The fruit is first peeled, then cut in strips two inches long, half an inch wide and about a quarter of an inch thick. Measure the fruit and add half the quantity of granulated sugar, and let it stand until the sugar is dissolved, which may be nearly twenty-four hours. Drain off the juice and boil it five minutes, then add the fruit and cook for three or four minutes; drain the pineapple and spread on a platter to dry. The process may be hastened by putting the platter in the sun, the warm-closet, or even on the top of a radiator. The fruit should be turned once and then rolled in fine granulated sugar. The process is a much more lengthy one than required for the fruit peel, but a few pieces put in each box makes a delicious addition." Featherlight Waffles. The following recipe cannot be surpassed either for excellence or economy. The quantity of cornmeal used is so small that it does not give the taste of cornmeal but imparts a delicate, nutty flavor which is lacking where it is not used: Break two eggs in a round bottom bowl and beat well. Pour over them two cups of sour milk (or buttermilk), add one-fourth cup cornmeal, two cups flour, one teaspoon sugar, one teaspoon salt, one full tablespoonful butter, one level tablespoonful lard (lard and butter should be melted), and one scant teaspoon of soda dissolved in a tablespoonful of warm water. Stir the mixture well. Yorkshire Pudding. A good Yorkshire pudding will need two eggs, two cupfuls of milk, six tablespoonfuls of flour, one saltspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of baking powder. Sift the flour into a basin with the salt, stir in the milk gradually, beat up the eggs and add them to the batter when quite smooth. Allow this to stand for two hours; add the baking powder and pour into a baking dish with some melted drippings; bake half an hour. Baste frequently with some of the meat fat. When ready cut the pudding in squares and serve it around the roast. Vinegar Sauce. One and one-half cups sugar, one and one-half tablespoonfuls of flour in a little water, two tablespoonfuls vinegar, a little grated nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Pour over this mixture one and one-half pints boiling water and boil ten minutes; just before taking from the stove add a dessert-spoonful of butter. To Boil Eggs. Most persons prefer their eggs boiled medium. That is, boiled for three minutes. If you prefer them very soft, for two or $2 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes. If hard, boil for four minutes or more. Water should be at the boiling point. There's more strength in a bowl of Quaker Oats than in the same quantity or the same value of any other food you can eat.

TRAMP KNEW HUMAN NATURE Simple Stratagem That Secured for "Knight of the Road" a Substantial Meal. A clever little bit of human nature was used by a "knight of the road" recently on a matron living in a suburb of Pittsburg, and as a result he slept with a full stomach that night. The suburb is quite small, and when the tramp dropped off a freight and ambled up the main street he was quite hungry. There were about ten houses which gave fair chance of meals, and the tramp lost no time. He was not surprised when the first housewife slammed the door in his face, nor the second, for that was natural and the proper thing to do. But when he reached the ninth house, or rather was helped away, he was thoroughly disgusted. The town certainly had him hoodooed. After a short rest and a deep think the hungry one knocked at the door of the tenth house. "Madam, can you let a hungry man have a bite to eat? I don't think you can, though," he said. The woman opened her ears. "Why can't I?" she inquired. Why can't I? she inquired. "The woman next door said you didn't have enough for yourself." He got his meal. ON THE COLLEGE NINE. "Tain't no use talkin', Cyrus, that boy of ourn certainly do love th' country. He writ me er letter yesterday an' sez he was overjoyed 'cause ther going ter put him in th' right field next summer." Reasoning of Youthful Mind. A schoolmistress whose hair was of the blackest hue, was one day giving a lesson on a coal mine to a class in Suffolk, England. To make the lesson interesting as possible she went on to say she had herself been in a coal mine. A little lad put up his hand, and when pointed to said: "Please, teacher, is that what made your hair so black?" Made His Reputation. Harker—That fellow Bilkins is an enthusiast, isn't he? Parker—That's what! You know he likes to speak of himself as a sportsman? Parker—Well, the only thing he ever did in that line was to go on a wild goose chase three years ago.

"To Live and Let Live Is Our Motto." SEND YOUR NEWS IN EARLIER. A Condition It is with much regret that for the lack of proper patronage Mr Sam W. Jones has been forced to close his splendid exhibitions of moving pictures at 537 N. Main Street. This brings to our mind most forcibly the problem of race enterprises and, indeed, it is a problem which should receive the strenuous consideration of the thinking part of our people. Unless our people here in Wichita bestir themselves enough to give their patronage to worthy race enterprises, it is hard to see how we, as a race, can hope to make that racial progress which we should. There is but one conclusion, and that is, our race is entirely too disinterested in the welfare and success of enterprises started for them. The race is barred out, discriminated against ostracised and almost spat upon in many respect, and yet enterprises launched by members of the race to cure this condition is forced to die for lack of patronage. It is a shame to every colored person in our city. We hope however, that our people may awake to these necessities before it is entirely too late. Patronize the Merchants and Business Houses that solicit your trade through "ads" in the columns of your race paper. Why trade with any other?

GARDINER CATHEDRAL AT SANTO DOMINGO — FIRST ERECTED IN AMERICA ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL, NEW YORK CITY CATHEDRAL AT SANTO DOMINGO — FIRST ERECTED IN AMERICA HEN the Spanish discoverers and explorers of America drove the prows of their frail vessels through unknown seas in search of the India of their dreams they left Europe stirring with that new life which was to blossom in the renaissance. The dark ages were just closing and the wealth of knowledge and art so long hoarded in monasteries and dimensions of the edifice self. Mexico has 22 dioces and as many cathedrals, though not all the churc so designated were built that purpose. Among cathedrals of Mexico desing mention is that of Pu la, which antedates that the capital, having b founded by the first bis W castles, barred from the flow of human life, was about to burst forth like a flood to referillize European civilization. Crumbling architecture was being restored, churches and palaces were being founded, great engineering works undertaken. In many respects, indeed, the wonderful activities and achievements of that time may be compared with those of our own, in spite of the differences in methods, materials and purpose. When Columbus left Palos in 1492 St. Peter's at Rome was in the hands of builders filled with the new ideas, but waiting for the genius of Bramante and Michel Angelo; the cathedral of his native Genoa was being greatly enlarged and embellished; that of Seville was nearing completion; that of Toledo was just finished. For 300 years the Gothic beauty of Burgos had been growing to its perfection in 1521, the year in which Cortez took the City of Mexico; and in the same year the beautiful cathedral at Granada, which enshrines the tombs of the Catholic kings and commemorates the deliverance of Spain from the Moors, was begun. This passion for building crossed the ocean in the breasts of the Spanish discoverers and first colonists, who, although they celebrated their earliest religious services in tents by the seashore or beneath the branches of unfamiliar foliage, were impelled to erect as soon as possible temples big and splendid enough to express the master motives of their age—religion and art As Hispaniola, or the island of San Domingo, was the first land permanently settled, so Isabella, the capital, now the city of Santo Domingo, founded in 1496, contains what is probably the oldest cathedral church in the new world, begun in 1514. Within it rested the body of Columbus until this part of the island was ceded to the French in 1785, when the Spaniards carried what they supposed to be his remains with them to Cuba. Since that time other remains have been found here which the people of Santo Domingo, with justice, claim to be the true relics of the discoverer, and as such they are revered and jealously guarded within a handsome modern monument. At Port au Prince, Hatti, there is a cathedral, long under construction and yet unfinished, of mixed French Gothic and Romanesque style. The French cathedral at St Pierre, Martinique, was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Pelee, and the bishop's seat was removed to Fort de France. Owing to the fact that the government of Cuba rested for nearly 40 years at Santiago, from 1518-1582, it happens that this town boasts a cathedral which antedates that of Havana, but it is not remarkable as compared with many of the Spanish colonial edifices. The cathedral at Havana, and indeed that at Santo Domingo, has much to inspire enthusiasm from the artistic standpoint, but Havana has been interesting as the temporary sepulcher of what were called the bones of the great admiral. His sarcophagus and the memorable inscription were set into the wall of the chancel at the left of the high altar until after the war of 1898, when his descendant, the Duke of Veraguas, removed the much-disputed bones to the family mausoleum in Seville. Cortez landed and burned his ships on the beach near Veracruz in 1519, determined upon the conquest of Mexico in the name of Spain and of the Catholic church. He marked his subjugation of every town and province by founding substantial works of engineering and architecture, wonderful, indeed, when one considers his slight acquaintance with the materials, the labor and the climate that confronted him and the magnitude and beauty of the results. On entering the City of Mexico Cortez destroyed the teocalli, or Aztec temple, and erected on its site a small chapel for the Indians, traces of which still remain. In it was installed the seat of the first bishop of Mexico, who came out in 1528 as a suffragan of the bishop of Seville, but the cornerstone of the present cathedral was not laid until 1573. This is the most stupendous of all the Spanish colonial cathedrals, the largest in all the Americas, and said to be outranked only by St. Peter's in Rome and St. Paul's in London. It had cost at the time of its completion about $2,000, a sum as colossal in those days as the CATHEDRAL OF THE CITY OF MEXICO CATHEDRAL CATHEDRAL OF ST. PETER AND ST. PAUL, WASHINGTON, D.C. dimensions of the edifice itself. Mexico has 22 dioceses and as many cathedrals, although not all the churches so designated were built for that purpose. Among the cathedrals of Mexico deserving mention is that of Puebla, which antedates that of the capital, having been founded by the first bishop in 1536. Its interior adornment is the richest of any in the country. Central America was subjugated by Alvarado, the envoy of Cortez, in 1523. The capitals of the states into which this part of our continent is divided contain cathedrals for the local heads of the Catholic church. Some of them are very old, some are very imposing and carry out as far as possible the CATHEDRAL OF ST. PETER AND ST. PAUL, WASH dominant ideas of the age of conquest. We have in the United States two examples of Spanish colonial architecture, although they bear no comparison to those of Mexico in size or wealth of decoration. The earlier is that at St. Augustine, Fla., founded in 1682. It was partially destroyed by fire in 1887, but has been carefully restored so as to preserve the original style, and its ancient bells rehung. The second is that of New Orleans, which, while it occupies the site of two previous French edifices, one destroyed by hurricane in 1723, the other by fire in 1788, was rebuilt in 1794 at the entire charge of a Spanish nobleman resident in the city while the colony was under the dominion of Charles IV, of spain. This is the statement inscribed on his tomb before the altar of St. Francis and mass for his soul is celebrated every Saturday. Nevertheless, the cathedral is dedicated to St. Louis, patron saint of France, and the recent decorations illustrate his life. The original design was of the late heavy Spanish renaissance style, with three round towers, upon which steeplees were raised in 1851 and the facade, fronting Jackson square, enlarged and improved. We are indebted to the French for two large cathedrals on our continent. That of Quebec was founded in 1660 by Mons. Laval, the first bishop of New France. It is 216 feet long by 108 feet broad and its tower is lofty and well proportioned. Facing the cathedral of the Roman Catholic church in Montreal is that of the Protestant Episcopal, or Church of England. It was begun in 1805 and is a conspicuous ornament to the city of Montreal, although as compared with its neighbor its size is inconsiderable. The first English explorers of the new world were neither settlers nor builders and very different from the Spanish was the attitude of the Puritans toward the spirit and works of the renaissance. A few Episcopal churches in the south and a few of other denominations and of later date in New England and the old middle states are noble and dignified in their solidity and severity, but it is only recently that church architecture in the United States began to develop its present imposing and artistic proportions. Foremost among the denominations to enlarge and embellish their churches are the Episcopalians, whose traditions, derived from the Church of England, have never been lost sight of. This was wonderfully demonstrated when in September, 1907, the bishop of London visited Washington to assist in laying the cornerstone of the cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. It is claimed that a vision of such a cathedral --- was an integral part of the scheme of the "federal city" planned by Major L'Enfant under President Washington. The beautiful Roman Catholic cathedral in process of erection at St. Paul, Minn., is to have "chapels of the nations, six in number, dedicated to the apostles of the several races from which are derived the people of the northwest." The plan of this cathedral follows "the main lines of the original plan of St. Peter's in Rome as laid out by Bramante and Michel Angelo;" that is, the nave and transepts are shorter than usual and their intersection will be crowned with a great dome 96 feet in diameter, the cross over which will stand 280 feet high from the floor. "The main entrance is under a monumental arch which frames the rose window and the three front entrances leading to the vestibule located under the organ gallery. At each end of the vestibule under the towers are two chapels, one to be the founders' chapel, the other to contain the baptismal font," while at the ends of the transepts will be the two great chapels of St. Peter and St. Paul. It seems to be a fact that American people and architects incline toward the Gothic style more than any other for church purposes and there is perhaps no purer and more pleasing example than the cathedral of St. Patrick, Fifth avenue, New York city. Its harmonious proportions and tones, without and within, charm both soul and sense, and it is one of the greatest ornaments to that city of magnificent constructions. The cornerstone was laid in 1850 and the building completed in 1879. The cathedral of St. Paul, at Pittsburg, in much the same style, has the advantage of being set high and apart from other buildings, so that its beautiful spires pierce the air without competition from such skyscrapers as dwarf St. Patrick's, old Trinity, Grace and other churches in New York. Baltimore has a cardinal's cathedral, and the beautiful new building for the diocese of Richmond, Va., must be mentioned. Many are the cathedrals of both the Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches whose foundations are being laid or planned in the vari- C INTERIOR OF THE CATHEDRAL AT ST.PAUL, MINNESOTA st." The plan of this ous dioceses of our country. The cathedral of Lima, Peru, is the earliest and the largest in South America. It was founded on the same day as the city by Pizarro himself. That a man of uncertain parentage and meager education, little acquainted with any phases of life besides of the peasant and the rough adventurer should not only have developed a genius for leadership but conceived metropolitan ideas so splendid and complete as his plan of Lima, is nothing short of marvelous. He is comparable in kind if not in degree to some of the cowboy products of the early western life of the United States. In explanation of his vandalism it may be said that Pizarro had just seen his own country delivered from the Moors by the valiant Christian arms and probably he regarded the Inca people as another race of "heretic dogs" whose uncomprehended civilization and religion he destroyed with no more compunction than was shown by the cowboy in "shooting up" an Indian village and its snake dancers, to the regret of the modern ethnologist. In the place of what he destroyed Pizarro substituted one of the most fascinating settlements of the world. It took him 15 years to pacify the outraged people of Peru, but meanwhile he had laid out the city of Lima and dedicated the cornerstone of the cathedral on January 16, 1535. In it he lies buried before a great silver altar surmounted by an image of the virgin Mary. The interior of the cathedral is vast and dim and there are many side chapels and sacred pictures, some of which are by Peruvian artists of considerable merit. There is also a bronze fountain said to have been presented to the city in 1578, probably the oldest in America. Lima is a city of churches and the cathedral is more than equaled by several others in beauty and interest, if not in age. Willie—Is Mr. Jones near-sighted, mama? Mama—Not that I know of, dear.

One tinned vegetable that yields a delicious salad for use while the fresh green things are still scarce is lima beans. Use for this the contents of a half or a whole can, according to the number to be served. Simmer in boiling water until tender, then drain and chill thoroughly. Serve on lettuce leaves dressed with either mayonnaise or French dressing, according to taste, or French dressing made with thick cream instead of oil would be tasty. A sprinkling of parsley, chives and celery all finely minced and combined, or of any one of the three used singly, is considered an improvement by some salad epicures. In the way of a company dessert when the early strawberries first begin to be available, crush slightly enough of the berries to half fill a ring mold. Fill the mold up afterward with lemon jelly. The prepared jelly will serve for this. Just before it is to be eaten turn out upon a platter, and fill the hollow center of the ring with stiffly whipped cream. Pass with it lady fingers or angel food. FOR PACKING AWAY CLOTHES Physician Says Ounce Bottle of Chloroform Is Better Than Camphor. Better than camphor, according to a physician, in packing away clothes, is an ounce bottle of chloroform, with a split cork, so that the fumes may gradually evaporate. Put the bottle in the bottom of the trunk. These fumes will not only kill moths, but many disease germs. Care must be taken not to inhale the fumes when opening the trunk. All clothing should be put away as clean as possible. If there are pockets, turn inside out and brush thoroughly. Take soiled ruching from the necks of dresses and shields from under the arms. A few bits of charcoal wrapped in tissue paper and laid among the clothing will prevent the unpleasant odor that is often noticed when the air has been excluded for some time. TO SERVE WITH MEAT. With roast veal, tomato sauce, cranberry sauce, horseradish and lemons are good. With roast mutton, currant jelly, caper sauce. With broiled mutton, onion sauce and caper sauce. With broiled 'fowls, bread sauce, onion sauce, lemon sauce, cranberry sauce, jellies, also cream sauce. With roast lamb, mint sauce. With roast turkey, cranberry sauce and currant jelly. With boiled turkey, oyster sauce. With venison or wild ducks, cranberry sauce, currant jelly. With roast goose, apple sauce, cranberry sauce, grape or currant jelly. With boiled fresh mackerel, stewed gooseberries. With boiled bluefish, cream sauce, lemon sauce. Carving Meat. To successfully carve meat one must know how to control the knife. When carving a slice of meat, after the first incision has been made the angle at which the knife is held must never be altered or a jagged slice will be the result. The cut should be direct, sharp and incisive. The sawlike motion should not enter into the operation. As a rule the knife should be held firmly but lightly, so that too much juice will not be squeezed out from the meat. By using the point of the knife lightly as a wedge and the fork as a lever, even a big fowl may be easily jointed, provided the carver is aware exactly how the joint is $s'$ rated and held together. Raised Buns. To one pint of raised bread dough add one cupful of granulated sugar, one-half cupful of soft butter, one beaten egg, one-half cupful of milk and one-half level teaspoonful of soda. When well mixed add enough slifted bread flour to make of the consistency of bread dough and so that it can be kneaded well. Cover and let rise in a warm place until light. Then work in three-quarters of a cupful of currants and a half teaspoonful of lemon flavoring. Make small buns, not larger than an egg, and set closely in a buttered pan. Let rise light and bake. Brush the tops with sugar and water when taken from the oven. Flower Cake Decorations. If you desire a beautiful decoration for a white cake, secure fresh violets from your garden or the florist, says the Woman's Home Companion. Make a sirup of sugar and water. Dip the violets carefully into this and put aside on a platter to harden. If you are careful to let the sirup hair before dipping the flowers, they will in a few moments be ready to adorn the cake. Any small flowers may be treated in this way. Arrange in a wreath or garland. Baking-Powder Biscuits.

While a child there broke out a red sore on the legs just in back of my knees. It waxed from bad to worse, and at last I saw I had a bad skin disease. I tried many widely known doctors in different cities but to no satisfactory result. The plague bothered me more in warm weather than in winter and being on my leg joints it made it impossible for me to walk, and I was forced to stay indoors in the warmest weather. My hopes of recovery were by this time spent. Sleepless nights and restless days made life an unbearable burden. At last I was advised to try the Cuticura remedies [Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills] and I did not need more than a trial to convince me that I was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura Remedies and after these were gone I was a different man entirely. I am now the happiest man that there is at least one true care for skin diseases. Leonard A. Hawtof, 11 Nostrand Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., July 30 and Aug. 8, 109." Need of Beds for Consumptives. Need of Beds for Consumptives. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis says that in seven states, Alabama, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Wyoming and Utah, with a combined population of over 5,000,000, not one bed for consumptives has been provided. In nine states and territories, Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia, the number of beds for consumptives in each case is less than fifty, while the combined population of these states is over 7,000,000. On the basis of 400 deaths to a million of population, which is approximately the present rate in the United States, there would be nearly 5,000 deaths annually from tuberculosis in these 14 states, with at least 20,000 cases of this disease all the time, and less than 500 beds to care for them. Good Work Proceeds Slowly. At the present rate of increase nearly forty-five years must elapse before sufficient hospital accommodations to provide for all the indigent consumptives in the United States will be provided, declares the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Although over 7,000 beds in hospitals, sanatoria, camps and wards for tuberculous patients were established last year, there are fully 300,000 indigent consumptives who ought to be placed in such institutions and a total of only 22,720 beds in the entire country. On May 1, 1909, there were 15,244 beds for consumptives and 294 institutions. The annual report of the national association shows an increase of 99 institutions and 7,500 beds. At the Bovine Faucets. "I sent my little boy on his first visit to the country last week," said a Washington Heights milk dealer. "Although my boyhood was passed on the old farm, Willie has grown to the age of eight in the city. He had been watching Uncle Hezekiah milk the cow on his first evening, and when he returned to the house his aunt asked him: "Is Uncle Hezzie through milking yet, Willie? "Not yet,' answered Willie. 'He has finished two faucets and has just begun on the other two.'" Calculation. "Mr. Nippen always wants the most possible for his money." "Yes.

You will not get to heaven any quicker by provoking your neighbors to wishing you were there. AN ACHING BACK Means Weak Kidneys. Well kidneys filter the blood of uric acid and other impurities. When the kidneys are sick, waste matter accumulates and backache, headache and urinary troubles result. To eliminate the aches and pains you must cure the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, and cure them permanently. Every Picture Tells A Story J. N. Markham, Montesano, Wash. says: "Kidney trou- ble came on me grad ually and before long I was suffering from dropsy. My body bloated and my flesh was soft and flabby. I tired easily and suffered severely from pain in my back. Donan's Kidney Pills cured me and I am today in much better health." Remember the name—Doan's. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

Committee on Disease in Europe Says Corn Is Not to Blame. London, May 14.—Dr. Sambon, a member of the Field committee which has been investigating the disease pellagra, telegraphs from Rome that the committee has definitely proved that maize or Indian corn is not the cause of pellagra. The committee finds that the parasitic conveyor of the disease is the "simulium repans," a species of biting gnat. A Cynical Synonym. "Poor Myra Kelley," said a magazine editor at the Authors' club in New York, "was almost as distressed as Mr. Carnegie at the spirit of graft and crookedness rampant among us. "The young writer, at a dinner of magazine contributors, said that we worshiped wealth—that was our trouble. Then she crystallized her meaning in an anecdote. "She said that one man asked another: "What position does Blank hold in the community?" "‘A very honorable position,’ was the reply. "‘Is he wealthy?’ "‘Wealth and honor,’ said the other, ‘are synonymous terms in America today.’" The Business Instinct. An English farmer, taking his little son with him, was going to the polling station to give his vote. On the way he met a friend on the same errand, and the two entered into conversation. After an excited and heated argument about the budget they came to blows. The poor lad was much frightened, and, seeing that his father was getting the worst of it, suddenly called out to him: "Hit him in the watch, father; that'll cost him something!" FRANK J.
