YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER FINE POINTS Brought Out By Dr. Booker T. Washington In His Speech In North Carolina. Read It TWELTH YEAR FINE P Brought Out By D ington In His Carolina Charlotte, N. C.—(Special)—Book of T. Washington spoke before a tremendous crowd at the Auditorium. the proportion of Negroes to white auditors being about two to one in an attendance of perhaps three thousand. Seldom has there been a grander public address delivered by any man in this city than the Principal of Tuskegee institute made here. A man of wonderful simplicity, of pleasing platform powers, of rare culture and glittering personality, Doctor Washington thoroughly enchained the attention of the large audience for nearly two hours as he spoke of the economic duties devolving upon the people at whose head he stands. He spoke simply but cogently; humorously but appealing, and every word he uttered was as if by prophetic voice. Not a colored man heard him that was not enrapteured, and not a white man that was not moved either by convincing logic or by the sheer powers of the orator. Doctor Washington spoe as a man speaing to men, not as the acknowledged peer of his face. Seldom a word he uttered was of more than two syllables. The prowndity of his argument was its simplicity. In part, Principal Washington said: "I have but one object in coming into your midst—to see the conditions of my people and to observe how we can best elevate our citizens and better cement the relationship between the white man and the Negro. "We of the South are laboring under certain disadvantages because the outside world hears of the worst that occurs in the South and seldom hears of the better. If one black man burns a house, everybody hears it the next day. If ten black men build a house, very few hear of it outside of their community. We have problems, tremendous problems, to solve. Every race and every country has problems. The fact that I wouldn't want to belong to a race in a nation that didn't have problems. The 10,000,000 black people of America have been discussed more than any other people. It is mighty used to conduct a political campaign in this country without injecting the migro into it. They have tried to colonize us. They have tried to send us to Africa. Bue we are going to stay here. We were brought here. We are going to stay here because we don't want to leave the South and because the white man doesn't want us to leave. I believe there is patience enough, hope enough, wisdom enough to enable us to live here with the white man and wor out our destinies to the best interest of the others concerned. We are a new race just planting ourselves in the direction of civilization, our future is all before us. I have seen some races that have their future behind them. "We are making progress, but there are problems which we must confront before we reach the highest type of civilization. One of these is the necessity for staying at one place. We are traveling too much. We must establish ourselves and gain a reputation for sobriety and industry. "I have found that our people are best off, as a rule, when living in the rural districts close to the soil and worst off when thrown in the midst of a complex civic life. For a certain class of labor, our race is best adapted. In this respect we have a great responsibility in the South, and we must get rid of the old idea that labor with the hands is degrading and dishonorable. We must make ourselves reliable in our work. I am going to be fran, make a reputation for reliability and keep it. "We must be progressive in our labor. Brains, skill and new ideas are being put into our labor. The Negro must put intelligence into his work. Civilization is relentless—you must do these things or move on. "We must learn to save that which we get hold of. Those who save are the most reliable in their labor. If you haven't got a bank account, start one tomorrow. The difference between you and the white man is that you have only one man working for you—muscle—while he has himself and his money. I have never nown a man so religious who would take off Sunday interest on mortgages. When the white man goes to bed, he has a servant still woring. When we go to bed everything stops. There is not a thing doing. "I believe in a heaven, but I am trying harder to get heaven into people instead of getting people into heaven. There are things we can do to bring DECEMBER 3, 1910. heaven on earth.I like this world myself. We are the greatest people on earth to prepare to live in the other world. Let us not talk so much about the mansions in the sies; let us build neat cottages and live happily instead of tallkng so much about getting washed in the blood of the lamb; let us get a bath tub. There is an abundance of opportunity here for us. This is the best country in the land. "I want to see the line drawn between the good and the bad. Idleness is the cause of the sins of our people. "And the Negro must be educated. There are lots of fols who are afraid to educate the Negro. We must convince the world that an educated Negro is worth more than an ignorant Negro. The fellow who got his college education twenty-five years ago and then strutted around the streets with patent leathers and silk hat represented the silly, boyish period of our career. That is not the Negro man who is being educated today. Education is cheaper than ignorance. Ignorance is costing us the best time and the best thought of our white people in the courts. "In nine cases out of ten in every community where I have visited I have found peace, harmony and friendship between the races. The Negro has his white friend and the white man has his Negro friend. "We are going to live here in the future. We like you and you like us. We have helped the white man and the white man is going to help us. Aside from our color, we are nearer like you than the foreigner. In tastes, in dress and in ideas, we are not far apart and the Negro loves the community in which he lives. There are thousands of Negroes in your county who would die for the honor and life of their white friends. "Now, I have referred to friendly relations existing between black people and white people in this state. But for the fact that there is a large class of white people in every community who quietly without noise, without being known outside their community, who are helping the Negro to get education, to get prosperity, to improve his moral and religious life, but for the existence and work of these white Southern friends, it would have been impossible in a state like North Carolina for us to have made this tremendous progress in so short a time in bettering our condition, and so throughout the South if we learn to be frank with each other, to trust each other, to cultivate love, and toleration, instead of hatred we will teach the world a lesson as toh ow two races, different in color, can live together in peace and in harmony and friendship." The officers and members of Western Star Consistory No. 18, Scottish Rite Masons are making great preparations for their Fall Reunion which will be held December 7th, 8th and 9th, 1910. The Consistory is in better shape for this reunion than it has been since its organization two years ago and great interest is being manifested by all. It is expected that a large class of Master Masons in this and surrounding communities will avail themselves of the opportunity to receive the higher degrees in Masonry at this fall meeting. Ill. J. Walter Thompson, Commander-in-Chief, has already issued his proclamation and all Master Masons who contemplate taking these degrees should communicate at once with Ill. Dr. Arthur K. Lawrence, Secretary, 517 N. Main street, or with Ill. J. W. Thompson, Commander-in-Chief, 311 W. 9th St. Every Master Mason should have the Scottish Rite Degrees. The reunion will close with a big banquet on December 9th. New York, Nov. 30.—Women's clubs are superior to men's clubs, thinks Dr. Charles F.. Aked, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church. "A man's club is for personal ease, good cooking and good company," he said in his sermon today. "The women's clubs of this country, so striking a feature in our national life, are organized for work. It may be for education or propanganda, or charity, or philanthropy. "They have not always lived up to their professions, a peculiarity which they share with churches, but at least they have in view something more than a comfortable chair and a well cooked chop. "Our churches are generally 'manned' by women. There is not a church in existence today which would be in existence but for love and yearnings of a woman's heart." GREAT COMING EVENT.

PEABODY, KANSAS. sas at Her Home. Mrs. Samuel L. Duncan and her daughter, Miss eBatrice Young, in a most charming manner entertained the I. R. A. of Newton, Kan., at their residence in this city on Friday, Nov. 25th. The meeting was quite an elegant and elaborate affair and being the day following Thanksgiving it was a fitting continuation of that day's enjoyments. Many addresses, papers, recitations, essays and quotations were listened to and the occasion was favored with a piano solo by Miss Carrie Mayfield. The days exercises were closed with prayer by Mrs. A. L. Ford, of Newton, Kansas. "A trip around the world" in an hour was one of the amusements. Before starting on their journey each person was presented with a tiny suit case—souvenirs of the day. Mrs. Wm. Cole of Newton, Kan., was the most successful traveler, having found all of the stations, states and countries, except one, and was presented with a beautiful hand-painted china plate, which was highly appreciated. Every one was highly pleased with the trip. Mr. Lennie Coung took the ladies out for an auto ride through the state of Kansas and the city of Peabody. There were quite a few out.

CENSUS, who has just completed the thirteenth diagnosis of the condition of Uncle Sam and his family, began it in 1790 and has been repeating it every ten years since. Uncle Sam has footed the bills, to date amounting to about $47,000. Our LD DR. U. S. CENSUS, who has just completed the thirteenth diagnosis of the condition of Uncle Sam and his family, began it in 1790 and has been repeating it every ten years since. Uncle Sam has footed the bills, to date amounting to about $47,000,000. Our venerable dad has calculated that the thirteenth investigation will cost about $13,000,000; $60,000,000 has been spent for this purpose since 1790. The twelfth census cost about $13,000,000, and as Uncle Sam's landed possessions have increased since then and his family gained about 15,000,000 more members than belonged to it in 1900, it would be considered no more than fair if the present diagnosis were to call for the spending of about $19,000,000, which would be the sum if the rate of increase of expense at each census up to the twelfth were to be maintained for the thirteenth. A census expert has estimated that of the thirteen millions, the headquarters office force will earn $4,000,000, the enumerators $4,600,000, the supervisors $910,000, and the special agents $700,000. The administrative cost will be $300,000, the stationery $200,000, rent $125,000, tabulating machines $250,000, cards for tabulation processes, $100,000, printing $800,000, Alaska $85,000, Porto Rico $160,000, Total $12. CARD PUNCHING MACHINE 950,000. If that is all the expense, it is cheap. The late Gen. Francis A. Walker, who was a census authority greater than any other, living or dead, once wrote that "the people of the United States can well afford to pay for the very best census they can get." He penned this remark in connection with a frank confession of his own shortsightedness in underestimating the cost of the tenth census. It's the old story: When you are ill get the best doctor you can afford. The comparative cheapness with which the thirteenth census has been taken was largely due to Director E. Dana Durand's economical methods, to the introduction of semi-automatic electrical card-punching, tabulating and sorting machines, and to the inheritance of wisdom from the experience gained by the permanent census bureau. During the term of the latter the methods of inquiry, tabulation and compilation have been greatly improved, both in accuracy and in economy. Millions will be saved. Mr. Durand is responsible for many of the new methods to increase statistical accuracy at every step of the census taking and to decrease the per capita cost of the enumeration. The card-punching, tabulating, and sorting machinery is the invention of a census mechanical expert and the patent rights belong to Uncle Sam. The machines are novel in plan and design, are of greater speed and efficiency than those they superseded, and can be built and operated at a large saving of money as compared with previous expenditures for this purpose. Other money-saving features are the elimination of the vital-statistics inquiry from the work of the decennial census, as it belongs to the permanent branch of the United States census; the reduction in the number of schedules, the piece-price method of paying for machine work, the omission of the hand, household and neighborhood industries from the manufactures branch of the census, and the reduction of the size and number of copies of the final report. Congress limited the thirteenth census to four general subjects—population, agriculture, manufactures, and mines and quarries. The director is authorized to determine the form and subdivision of inquiries. The inquiry as to population relates to the date April 15, 1910; that as to agriculture concerns the farm operations during 1909 and calls for an inventory of farm equipment April 15, 1910; that relative to manufactures and quarries is for 1909. The enumeration carried only the population and agriculture schedules April 15, 1910. Special agents were sent out with the schedules for the manufactures, mines and quarries data. There were fully 65,000 enumerators, of whom about 45,000 carried both the population and agriculture schedules, as it is estimated that there are now fully 7,000,000 separate farms in America, with farmers numbering well up into a score of millions. In 1910 there were many more billions of dollars of fixed capital invested in agriculture than there were in manufactures, strange as it may seem. And the farmer is getting better off all the time; --- Masterpiece of Glass Work his mortgage indebtedness is decreasing fast; his taxation is small as compared with the urbanite's burden, and he has taken to automobile riding on a large scale. Census taking every ten years is a tremendous task. It is the greatest single operation undertaken by Uncle Sam, with the exception of the Panama canal work and the assembling of an army in time of war. The American census is the largest, costliest and most accurate of any taken by the civilized nations. Its methods are the most modern and its equipment the most complete. The census bureau force comprises, first, Director E. Dana Durand In the British museum, in London, on exhibition, is the Portland vase, the masterpiece of ancient glasswork. A chance discovery led to the rescue of this magnificent urn from the grave, where it had lain for hundreds of years, hidden and unknown. The vase was found early in the seventeenth century by some laborers, who, digging on a hillock in the neighborhood of Rome, broke into a small vault. On further examination it revealed a suite of three sepulchral chambers. In the largest room they found a finely sculptured sarcophagus, which contained the beautiful vase. It was full of ashes, but it bore no inscription as to the remains it held, nor has the mystery ever been solved which shrouds its origin. The vase was deposited in the Barberini palace, where it remained until 1770, when the representative of the Barberini family, a Roman princess, was forced to part with it to pay her gambling debts. The vase changed hands twice, then it was disposed of to the duchess of Portland, but with such secrecy that her own family was not aware of the transaction until after her death. At the sale of the duchess of Portland's collection it was purchased by her son, the third duke of Portland, for the sum of $5,145, and it was deposited in the museum by his successor. The vase was wantonly smashed in pieces by a drunken visitor, but the fragments were, however, joined together, but the bottom, with its mysterious figure in Phrygian cap, was not replaced. The material of this vase was long almost --- of Michigan, who, although only thirty-eight years old, is older than most of the generals commanding the forces in the Civil war, and who is, too, a statistically scarred hero, a veteran in government service, and likely to prove the most practical and efficient director connected with any of the past censuses. Then there is the assistant director, William H. Willoughby, of Washington, D. C., former secretary of state of Porto Rico. Next in rank are the five chief statisticians: William C. Hunt, in charge of the population division; Le Grand Powers, heading the agricultural division; William M. Stuart, overseeing the manufacturing division; Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur, the vital statistics work, and Dr. Joseph Adna Hill, the division of revision and results. Charles S. Sloane is the geographer; Albertus H. Baldwin is the chief clerk; Voler V. is chief of the publication division; Hugh M. Brown is private secretary to the director; Robert M. Pindell, is the appointment Clerk; George Johnnes is the disbursing officer, and C. W. Spicer is the mechanical expert. In addition to these are the chiefs of the divisions under the chief statistician. There are about 750 permanent clerks and 3,000 temporary clerks, etc. The supervisors numbered 330 and they employed and directed the 65,000 enumerators. About 1,000 chief special agents and assistant special agents. The supervisors also employed 1,000 clerks, 500 special agents and 4,000 interpreters to assist them in the direction of the enumerators. The data relating to population is trans- as great a puzzle as the story it illustrates. Breval refers to it as "the famous vase of chaledony"; "Misson calls it an agate; Bartoll a sardonyx; while Caylus and others correctly decided that it was made of glass. The blue body was first formed, and while still red hot, coated over as far as the bas reliefs were intended to reach with semiopaque white glass. the delicate figure being afterwards cut down to the blue ground in the same manner as with real cameos. "No Openings Nowheres" She is fortunate in having girl chums who draw roses from their friends now and then. The other afternoon one of her rosy friends pinned a bright red one on her and she sallied forth into the street to make other women envious. She had not gone far when she felt a tug at the shoulder and turned to see a strange woman. "Where'd you git that rose?" asked the stranger covetously. "A friend of mine gave it to me," was the answer, produced with some chill. "A friend of yours? In a store?" "No, not in a store." "Well, hain't there no openings no wheres?" "Not that I know of." "Humph! Just my luck. I'm just crazy for a rose, and when I saw you I just knew there was a fall opening somewhere." ferred to manila cards, by the punching of holes in them to correspond with the different items in the schedules. An electrical machine controlled by a clerk can punch holes in 3,000 cards a day. Three hundred of these were used and 90,000,000 cards were ordered. After the punching the cards are hand-fed into an electric tabulating machine with a "pin-box" attachment which permits the required pins to pass through the variously placed holes in the cards, in this establishing an electric circuit resulting in the tabulation of the items on counters which register their results in printing on spooled paper somewhat like a stock "ticker." There are 100 of these machines. After certain comparisons to prove accuracy, the schedules are permanently preserved in a great iron safe in the census bureau. As the card does not contain the name of the persons for whom it stands, all personal identity is eliminated from the cards. All danger of misuse of such information disappears. Severe penalties are provided in case any employee discloses census information to outsiders. The next step is the making of the maps and tables to accompany the analyses, and then, finally, the issue of the printed bulletins and reports. Before July 1, 1912, the work must be over and the thirteenth census gone to join its scientific ancestors. Romance of Old Portugal The recent deposition of King Manuel of Portugal and the events in the young king's life that led up to it will no doubt bring back to the minds of some of the older residents of the city the story of Elise Hensler, the Springfield girl who married a king and became the Countess Edla. The king she married was Don Ferdinand II. of Portugal, a great grandfather of King Manuel. Elise lived in Springfield about 60 years ago, probably for about four years. The Henslers were humble people and lived simply. The daughters, Elise and Louise, were well received here and were given a good musical education, especially Elise, who had quite a remarkable voice. Signor Guild, an Italian, at the time a well known teacher of the voice, took an interest in Elise and it was when Signor Guild went to Boston that the Henslers went there, largely through his influence. He believed that Elise had a future as a singer and wished her to be where he could continue teaching her. Else Hensler after her removal with her family to Boston continued her studies. She was perseverant in her work and progressed so well that she not only appeared in concerts in the large cities in this country, but also in Europe, where she sang before royalty. It was while singing in Lisbon several years after the death of Queen Marla that King Ferdinand heard her voice and felt the attraction that led him to marry her. Ferdinand was the titular king of Portugal, having been the second husband of Queen Marla II. of Portugal. Ferdinand married Maria in 1836, when he was 20. The queen died in 1853, and he was regent during the minority of his son, Pedro V., who was the father of the assassinated King Carlos, the grandfather of the deposed King Manuel. The regency ended in 1855, and on June 10, 1869, he married Miss Hensler. When the European powers decided the time had come to restore Spain to a monarchy, following the overthrow of the short republic, which existed from 1873 to 1875, considerable pressure was brought to bear upon Ferdinand to induce him to accept the vacant throne. But his wife could never be queen of Spain, and it is possible that this fact alone induced him to refuse. This absolute refusal on his part to accept the throne of Spain, with all the pomp and splendor of royalty in exchange for the romantic life that he was living with his morganatic wife, had far-reaching consequences. The complications and jealousies resultant on the attempt to find a king acceptable to all the powers helped to bring on the Franco-Prussian war, and Alsace and Lorraine went back to Germany, whence they had been wrested by Nanoleon Bonaparte. In consequence of these peculiar historical facts, which geographically practically changed all western Europe, Elise Hensler, Countess Edla, became famous throughout the world as "the woman who changed the map of Europe." During the life of the king they lived in the beautiful castle of Cintra. It is certain that their life was above reproach. In 1885 the king died, and after that the countess lied in retirement in a cottage near the castle.

This is a simple home recipe now being made known in all the largest cities through the newspapers. It is intended to check the many cases of Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble which have made so many cripples, invalids and weaklings of some of our brightest and strongest people. The druggists everywhere, even in the smallest communities, have been notified to supply themselves with the ingredients, and the sufferer will have no trouble to obtain them. The prescription is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce, and Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces Mix by shaking well in a bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Recent experiments in hospitals cases prove this simple mixture effective in Rheumatism. Because of its positive action upon the elimina tive tissues of the kidneys, it compel these most vital organs to filter from the blood and system the waste im purities and uric acid which are the cause of rheumatism. It cleanses the kidneys, strengthens them and re moves quickly such symptoms as backache, blood disorders, bladder weakness, frequent urination, paini scalding and discolored urine. It acts as a gentle, thorough regulator to the entire kidney structure. Those who suffer and are accustomed to purchase a bottle of medicine should not let a little incense venience interfere with making the up, or have your druggist do it for you ggis OE IN FAGTORY FIRE TWENTY-FIVE PERISH AT NEW- ARK, NEW JERSEY. ‘exploding Lamp the Cause, xewark—Five minutes’ delay in ming 8 @ fire alarm caused the loss (ts lives here When @ ramshackle {a iactory pbuilding occupied by six fenuiacturing concerns was totally gestroyed by fire. ‘Twelve girls were killed instantly y jumping from the fourth floor from qindows or from fire escape landings. fight others died later from injuries jeived in the same way.

TWO CITIES TRY TO PAD CENSUS seattle Added 11,188 Names and Portland 15,745—The Figures Recount Give. Washington—The . census bureau ennounced the present population of Portland, Ore., to be 207,214, which is again of 116,788, or 129.2 per cent, since 1900. The present population of Seattle, Wash, was announced .as 237,194, showing an increase of 156,523, or 1940 per cent, since 1900. When E. Dana Durand, director of the census, announced the population of Seattle and Portland, he also an- nounced that both ue cities had tried to pad and had been caught with the fools. A recount subtracted 11,188 rames from Seattle's total and 15,745 from Portland's. THE WARSHIPS SURRENDER The Five Vessels Have Been Given Up By the Rebellious Crews to Government Officers.

It Is Charged With Being Unlawful Combination Operating in Re- straint of Trade. New York, N. ¥.—One of the big- gest jobs of trust busting ever under- taken by the federal government was inaugurated in a suit against the American’ Sugar “Refiriing company. ‘This $90,000,000 company, known as the sugar trust, is attacked on the ground that it is a lawless combina. tion. The petition was filed by Henry A. Wise, district attorney, in the United States circuit court for the southern district of New York. The suit, which is brought under the Sherman anti: trust law, is expected to be one of the most important actions of the kind ever undertaken in this country. The government's petition is a lengthy one, and is a sweeping ar. raignment of the defendant com panies. One of the allegations is that the late H. 0. Havemeyer of New York, for a long time head of the sugar com: Dine, recefved $10,000;000 common stock of the. National Sugar Refining company of New Jersey as a gift at the time the corporation was formed to take into the combine four inde pendent concerns—the ..ational Sugar Refining company, run by B. H. Howells Son & Company; the New York Sugar Refining company of Long Island City, New York, operated by Claus Bonher; the Mollenhauer Sugar Refining company of Brooklyn and the W. J. MeCahan Sugar Refining company of Philadelphia. In general the petition charges that the defendants “for some time past have been, and are now engaged in an unlawful combination and conspir- acy to restrain the trade and com- merce among and between the sev- eral states and territories of the United States and with foreign na- tions, in raw sugar sugar beets, re- fined sugar, molasses, syrups and other by-products of raw sugar and sugar beets, and to monopolize the same. Such unlawful combination and conspiracy is the result and out. growth of a series of wrongful acts extending over a period of many years and participated in by defendants, re- spectively, in the manner and to the extent fully set forth: in petition. NEW ELECTION IN GREAT BRITAIN The Question at Issue is Shall the Lords or the Commons Govern the Country. London, England—In one of the briefest speeches on record the king dissolved the short lived parliament and a new parliament has been an- nounced to assemble on January 31, 1911.

MISSOURI RIVER IS LEFT OUT Chief of Engineers Would Expend $30,000,000 Elsewhere But Not a Dollar for Western Stream. Washington, D. C.—The Missouri river is in danger of being wiped’ off the map again this time in even more emphatic fashion than it was in 1902 when congress abolished the Missouri river commission. General Bixby’s recommendations for appropriations in the next river and harbor but have been made pub- lic, the amounts recommended aggre- gating $30,095,698, but not: five cents of this is for the whole 2,400 navigable miles of the Missouri river. It is the only large river in the United States that is thus treated, and if no appro- priation is made, it will be the first time for more than 50 years that the Missouri has been left out.

GERMANS DEMAND PROTECTION They Claim Chicago, Packers Have Secured Control of Leather Market of the World. Berlin, Germany.—On the ground that the operations of the Chicago packing interests in the rawhide mar- ket are threatening the German leath- er industry with ruin, the manufac turers of leather goods here are rais ing a plea for drastic measures of pro- tection. The packers are alleged to be cornering the hides in the world’s markets with the result that the Ger- man, firms are absolutely at their mercy in the matter of price. In a long article in the Berliner Tageblatt an expert in the leather industry de- clares that a deal whereby. Chicago firms lately secured contral of the South American cattle supply prac- tically enables them to dictate the price of hides for the whole of Europe.

As the operator moves it back and forth, the edges are automatically raised to prevent its digging into the mortar. TOOL HAS GREAT MANY USES Whole Implement Is Ten Inches Long and May Be Carried in Pocket— Light In Weight. If there is any one too! that can be used for more different things than the article designed by a Pennsyl- vanla man and shown here, the inven- tor is invited to produce it. This im- plement has so many uses that it is impossible to give it a generic name or remember everything it can do.. In the firse place it is in two parts, hinged, and forms a oe On one arm is a haifimer head with a a nail pulling attachment, and on the other arm is a tooth that can be used for an ice pick or for similar pur poses. The longer arm terminates in a screw driver and has a square hole in which nuts can be tightened. This same arm {s also divided into a three inch rule. The whole device is only ten inches long, and can easily be carried in the pocket. It is espe- clally handy to have about the home, as it takes the place of a number of individual tools, which usually can all be found but the one wanted. It is light in weight, but, being made of malleable steel casting, is as strong as need be. MAKING OF ARTIFICIAL DYES How German Chemists Have Outdone Nature—Synthetic Indigo Now ‘Commercial! Success. There was a time when India pro- duced large quantities of indigo every year on plantations. The planters were warned that over in Germany chemists were at work making indigo, but they only laughed. Then the an- nouncement came that synthetic indi- go, made in the laboratory, was a com- mercial success. It was absolutely the same as the natural indigo, only, if anything, a lit- tle bit purer. Now India no longer supplies the world with indigo. A German laboratory makes the whole supply, and even India buys from Ger- many. ‘There was a time when large areas in France were devoted to the cultiva- tion of madder root, from which the red dye alizarine was made. Again a German chemist improved upon nature and made artificial alizarine at a cost of less than one-third that of the nat- ural product. It wasn’t an inferior twitation; it was the real thing. NINE WATCHES MADE IN HOUR Rapidity of Manufacture Made Pos. sible by Reason of Ingenious Machinery for All Parts. ‘It Is claimed that the methods ot manufacture adopted by one American company enable it to set up, ready for trial within an hour, no fewer than nine watches.. This rapidity of manu- facture has become possible by reason of the ingenious machinery invented for the making of all the parts of a wateh. ‘The speed with which the various parts are turned out fs truly remark- able. Great sheets of brass and steel are cut and rolled into ribbons, and punched out into wheels at the rate of 10,000 a day from each punching ma- chine. Workers drill the 31 holes in the roof of the watch as fast as they can count, other operatives counter- sinking the holes almost as quickly. Brass wire glides into a machine that measures off the length of a part, turns it, puts a screw thread on each end, and actually screws it in at the rate of 2,000 a day. ‘The screws are so small that it is said 50 gross of them can be put in a thimble, while of -others there are 1,000 gross to @ pound. Balances are cut from the solid steel, ground down, worked up, and drilled with their 25 screw holes apiece at the rate of 100 wheels a day from each machine. Wheels have their teeth cut, a con- ple of dozen at a time, some with 60 to 80 teeth, at the rate of 1,200 wheels a day from each machine. TO SCRUB AND OIL FLOORS Machine Invented to Provide More ‘Convenient Method Than Present Back-Breaking Plan. In order to provide a more con- venient method of scrubbing floors than the back-breaking operation that now prevails, an inventor has im- provised a scrubbing machine which y Sy ™ a Sts SS ES GA SFA i Raat lm <A 6crubbing and Oiling Floors. consists of a pair of scrubbing brushes secured to a long handle and supporting a receptacle for water, says Scientific American. A valve is proyided at one side, which: may. be operated by the foot to regulate the feed of the water. If desired, the brushes may be removed and re- placed with rubbing or polishing de- vices and the reservoir may be filled, with ofl, if It be desired to, ofl the floor. Earthquake-Proof Construction. A new method of fire-proof com struction for small buildings has been. invented in response to the growing demand. Steei tubing filled with con, crete 1s used for the frame, and a net. work of wire for the basis of walls, floors and roof. On this skeleton a concrete house of such strength can be built that, {t is claimed, it will be practically earthquake-proof. Stx-incli pipe, steel wire and expanded metal, malleable iron fittings and cement are the materlals used. The wires are strung to a tension of 1,000 pounds, and bind the whole together with enormous solidity. On them the con- crete is spread three inches thick in spans not exceeding 16 feet. Construc- tion 1s so simple that unskilled labor can be largely used. INDUSTRIAL MECHANICAL &) NOTES A ton of ice will cool about 284,000 pounds of water one degree.

SEND YOUR NEWS IN EARLIER. RACE PATRONAGE. The question of patronizing race enterprises among the colored people is of far more than passing importance. It is a most vital question and directly or indirectly concerns every member of the race whether he or she be a laborer or one in a business or professional line. When it is considered the steady encroachments every day being made by race prejudice and the displacement or colored men and women in almost every line to make room for others—it is seen most vividly the great need of a concentration of the efforts of every member of the race to help build up enterprises to supply employment for the present and coming generations of the race. From the standpoint of race—help—the Negro is a consumer—but not a producer. He must reverse this condition—but cannot hope to do so until he has learned the lesson which every other race has learned—race—help. If the race would concentrate their efforts to help maintain race enterprises they would be amazingly surprised at the great wonders to be accomplished. So many of our race are so very unmindful as to look lightly upon this question—at the same time they are fathers and mothers and have boys and girls coming up who --- must face the world empty handed. There is no uestion but that the race is makingq a serious mistake by sitting down idly with their thumb in their mouth and making no preparation for the boy and girl or today who are to be the men and the women of tomorrow. The race owes it to itself to wake up and get very busy along these lines. LOCALS THE RESUME OF THIS WEEK Send your nive notes and local happenings to 601 Borda Main Street. R. A. B.

In the manoeuvers in Picardy eleven aeroplanes and four dirigibles were in use. As the result of these tests the French army's aerial fleet will be increased without delay. ‘The military authorities already pos- sess thirty aeroplanes, and orders have been given for thirty more to be delivered as soon as possible. ‘They will consist of ten Bleriot mono- planes and twenty Farman biplanes, seven of which are to be capable of carrying two passengers, besides the pilot, and making a single flight of 180 miles at a minimum speed of thirty-six miles an hour. Prizes have been offered by the minister of war for machines that will fly in excess of' this speed. Never before has there been such ‘@ great contrast in mimic warfare as in:these evolutions in Picardy. . Mov- ing along the highways were great automobile wagon trains loaded with supplies for the troops. Far in ad- vance and high up in the air soared the: aeroplanes. They seemed like huge-winged birds of prey hovering over the earth ready to swoop down when they sighted their quarry. In reality they were spying out the po- sition of the opposing force which, under ordinary circumstances, would have been hidden by the contour of the country. The aeroplanes moved swiftly. to and fro directing the slow- eh progress of the foot soldiers and the cavalry and the supply trains. ‘Because the airmen made the way sure and plain for those upon the ‘earth, the troops lost no time or ef- fort in aimless wanderings, but pro- weegded directly to their destination bby the shortest route, ‘The first and most important prin- ciple of the art of war consists of concentrating at a given time at some point in coritact with the enemy a force superior to his at that point. One eminent authority expressed it as the principle of “gittin’ thar fust- test with the mostest men.” The rest of the game of war fs a relatively sim- ple operation. It resolves itself into the mere question of comparative madn-killing or man-scaring capacity. All other considerations being any- where near equal, the question of be- ing able to move rapidly is the thing that counts in war. The best of troops are’ worthless to a commander unless he can have them where he wants them when he wants them, and, moreover, in a condition to do what he wants them to do. The fighting men are useless unless they can reach the place of conflict in time to take part in it, and they aré equally without value if the ef. fort to get there exhausts them. That is why the aeroplanes ‘are so tremen- ously useful in spying out the loca- tion of the enemy and enabling the troops to reach that point with the very least amount of exertion. But no matter how fast the troops may march they must be fed regu- larly, That fs where the automobile supply trains come in—huge motor driven trucks that never grow tired A bursting shell might disable the horses dragging the commissary wagons or the ammunition caissons, but {t would take a well placed shot in a vital part of an automobile’s ma- chinery. to put {t out of commission. ‘Then, too, a wounded horse cannot be repaired, but a wounded motor truck can be patched up unless it ig blown into smithereens. The problem of food supplies {s one of the great things in war. It fs an old and trite saying that an army really travels upon its belly. An army {s a city flung down suddenly over night, ast were, in the coun try. It moves day by day in such manner as to require constant at tention and changes of plan as to its subsistence. It cannot move a ster faster than its food supply travels and it can maintain a position only as long as it is properly fed there. An ee, Te edhe ee nets at, Le ee quite as much attention is paid to giving the soldiers the kind of food they have been accustomed to and plenty of it at regular intervals as to anything else. Amer- jean army officers who have watched the big manoeuvers, like those in Pleardy, say two Frenchmen can live well on what one American civilian cook wastes. Yet it is quite likely the French soldier can march as far and be just as fresh at the end of the journey as the American. The French are ahead of the Ger- mans in the matter of cooking scien- tifically. Also the French soldier knows about as well as any in the world that his ration must be made to last for the full period of time for which it is issued, and that once it is eaten or wasted or given away the balance of the period will be a food- less one, be it twenty-four hours or three days, , This 1s an important thing for the soldier to realize, for the gross weight of one day’s rations for an army of 150,000 men is 520,141 Pounds. It takes more than 100 au- tomobile trucks, such as those used for the French army, to haul a day’s supplies of food. But all this vast machinery is necessary. Napoleon once said: “According to the laws of The plague, or Asiatic cholera, or as it used to be called, “the black death,” has been spreading of late in Europe. In Russia, where the people are dirtiest and most superstitious, the plague thrives best. Seventy thousand rersons are known to have died of this attack in Russia already. ‘This is not surprising, for the tn- Fabitants, instead of cleaning their wells, cleaning their bodies, and us- ing their brains, get out the little fkons or images which the Greek church sells at a considerable profit, and to these little images superst!- tious peasants pray—the prayers be- ing interrupted in thousands of cases by death from the plague. ‘There {s nothing more tragic in all the history of man than the record of “the black death” in Europe. In the fourteenth century one ept- demic after another spread among the people. Twenty-five millions of human beings are believed to have perished in this single series of epidemics. The rich and the poor alike were affected. In Oxford two-thirds of the student population died. In Constantinople the people died at the rate of 10,000 a day. Charms, incantations, fear, filth, ig: norance and superstition fed the dis- ease. Curious results came of the long pe- riod of panic and of dying. The famous “dance of death,” in which desperate human beings paro- died and made fun of the plague, il lustrating the “dance of death” with grinning skulls and skeletons, was one feature of the epidemic, Another, curiously enough, was fn England, the tremendous rise in the cost of labor. The workmen died s0 fast that there were few left to do the work, and, following the law of supply and demand, the few that could work were offered extravagant wages—al. though laws were passed to keep the wages down. And it is sald that this snddeu rise in wages laid the founda tion of the emancipation of working people in England. ‘The plague in Europe appears now in the old familiar way—breaking out here and there, always in filth and {r ignorance, spreading gradually. ‘The disease is not thoroughly under stood now. But the method of fight ing it is understood. The people mus‘ be well fed—a strong man may hays the disease germs with him, resis them and rid his system of them. The army with a full stomach will fight every step of the way if it has to retreat. If it is hungry the retreat will be turned into a rout. “The Black Death’’ war every general who loses his lines of communication deserves death.” For it once the foe successfully in terrupts the flow of food to his oppo nent’s firing line his victory 1s prac tically assured. ‘These great manoeuvers of large bodies of armed men are a common thing in Hurope and are beginning to be common in this country. Civilians often wonder wherein 1s the sense of spending hours, days, weeks, teaching a man to stand {n a certain fashion, to step in a certain way or to carry a gun in a certain manner. They ask themselves what difference it makes whether the soldier faces to the right or to the left about, or whether he rubs shoulders with the same man or a different one day aft- er day. To these people it seems lke a waste of timo training large bodies of men to step a pace this way or that and to do it instinctively, au- tomatically, always just the same, so they could not do it in any other way to save their lives. Yet although all this may seem trifling and purpose- less it is like the interminable polish- ing and oiling of a delicate mechan- fsm. It 4s the process by which 1s manufactured a human machine that will work cheerfully to exhaustion, starve without a murmur, or march up to the cannon’s mouth merely be cause the voice they have been train- ed to recognize tells them to. It is the means by which the hallmark of proficiency is placed upon the pro fessional soldier, and that ts the ulti mate end of these great manoeuvers. weak, half-fed man dies—that 1s why the plague was often so violent in the old days just after a famine. As far back as the fourteenth cen- tury Gabriel dé Mussis observed that those who escaped the plague gave ft to others with whom they came in con- tact. ‘They gave {t to others because they had the plague within themselves; their essential tract was infected with the disease, and this disease they scat tered. It 1s some comfort to know that the disease can only be acquired by actu- ally swallowing the disease germs. ‘The man who will be suffictently care ful need not get the plague. If you will drink only water that you know to be clean, and only from vessels that you know to be ciean; {f you eat no fruft that has not been carefully cooked, or carefully peeled with an absolutely clean knife, and {f all the food that you eat 1s well cook- ed and eaten when freshly cooked, you will not get the plague. ‘The main thing is not to worry about it in this country. There fs lit. tle chance, probably no possibility whatever, of a plague of the old kind among us. ‘The work that {s not done by the little sacred images of the Russfan peasants is done very well by good sewers, plenty of disinfectants, plenty of soap and hot water, and a little common sense. Does Opposition Create Love? ‘There is one thing that parents and guardians never seem to learn, and that is, how opposition fans the flame of love. Charley is not rich enough to sat- jsf their ideal of the man who shall marry pretty Molly—or James, ner- chance {s too young, or too something else-to their minds. forthwith one or the other young man is criticised, sniffed at and gen- erally belittted—with the inevitable result that Molly becomes his cham- pion and loves him a thousands times better for every sharp word or snub that he recelves. And even more apparent {s the re- sult when a mother and sister strive to turn the current of a son and broth- er’s love. Every chivalrous impulse carries him to the stde of the girl ‘who is abused, and drives him, per- haps, to the very end against which his family is struggling. The Stolen Hour By ETHEL BARRINGTON ee ee ee ee ee only the task of handing the missive to the servant, who would deliver it to Lord Windmere. From that mo- ment she would become the affianced wife of the English nobleman. Hear- ing steps, Millicent, without turning, held ous the letter. “See that it goes at once!” “Is it sv very important?” At the voice, so entirely different from the one she expected, the girl sprang up. “Oh, Adam, I'm glad— but first I must dispatch my note.” About to restore the letter so oddly thrust upon him, Howe's eye fell upon the address. “Let us talk first,” he suggested, coolly; “there's plenty of time.” “Barely sufficient; it’s already five. His lordship remains at his club till six, when, should there be no mes- [sage, he starts on his deferred trip to California. Why doesn’t James come?” | “Allow me,” Rowe .eisurely crossed to the mantelpiece, his gaze lingering |on the girl, tidying papers in her | desk. Suddenly bending above the |clock, his broad shoulders masking 1: |from view, he remarked, “Five, you said? Your clock says four.” “I can’t be mistaken—" In the act of consulting her watch she was arrested by an exclamation from her suet whose sleeve had brushed roughly againsts a statuette, prompt- ness alone on his part saving it from destruction. Millicent shuddered in mock relief, “Today is my lucky day,” he as- sured her, “I feel capable of miracles —even of convincing you to my way }of thinking. Come.” Half jocularly he pushed a chair before the hearth, then set another for himself. Hands thrust deep in his pockets, he nodded toward the clock. “For one hour we will talk.” “And the subject?” “Everything that concerns you— or me.” | She studied him from the corner of cher eyes, contrasting the fine pro- ‘portions of his musuclar frame with that of Lord Windmere, to the lat- ter’s disadvantage. “I am a head taller,” she thought, experiencing a quick sense of repulsion. Rowe smiled quizzically. “You approve of me physically? Good!” “I was not thinking of you.” “So? I was—about you. Who would have dreamed that such a scrawny kid could develop into the beauty you are now. No offense— looks being your second biggest as- set in the game you're playing.” “You are coarse; 1 won't be talked te so!” “After today, maybe, I shan’t care t» talk to you at all.” ‘The girl's face softened. “Oh, yes, you will, The spice of things has ‘been in our discussion of them after ward. Your point of view is direct It's the reward of keeping at suffi- cient distance to permit of a perspec- tive. With me, relative values often grow confused.” “You remember the vreek where we fished as youngsters?” the man de- manded, irrelevantly. “And the day you insisted on crossing the slippery log alone, and tumbled in?” Millicent laughed softly, “I can see you now, with your torn cap, your ‘knickers’ rolled up and your home-made rod. = thought you aw- fully brave when you pulled me out— two feet of water, wasn't it?” “But think of the reward you promised. “Children make pie-crust prom- ises!”” “Just so you remember, that’s all.” Adam stretched his long legs to the blaze and his companion, conscious of his slightest movement, felt a half- frightened resentment at the power of her old playmate to crowd out all other personalities from her thoughts. | “{'m thinking of tne night you told me of your father's first big suc- cessful speculation. It was raining; we were in the best room, abomina- ble stuffy because rarely opened. Your life was changed by that deal just as the mountain stream is changed when it falls into the river. It became merely a question of time before you would reach the city to be engulfed.” “You thought it would make a dif- ference in our friendship, but"—al- mose wistfully she touched the arm of Rowe's chair—'t hasn't!” “It has.” ‘The man’s tone struck |back harshly. “Had we stayed out there in the foothills you would never have known about society, or the magic of a title dangling like a scalp at the belt of your wealth. Life | might have meant work, but it would “have meant freedom. Think of gal- | loping over the rolling plains, the FRE = (SR Neee ee een Cw re ee | the flood of emotion, now held in | check; it was the vitter price that she must pay for victory, tangible in her letter to Windmere, but not until she was alone, “Suppose the man you marry can't | understand that sort of hunger—has never felt it? You might blow your | brains out some day when the fever’s | on!” | Thrusting her chair abruptly back, | auiicent stood a little behind him, where he could no longer watch her face. When she spoke it was with an effort, her tone showed strain. | “I never should have allowed you jto rake up the past today.” She | dropped her chin upon her arms, | crossed on the high back of his chair; she stared, d:y-eyed, into the glowing |coals, “Mother was always ambi- tious, even when we lived in a cabin and she did the family wash. She's the same today, only instead of money she craves position and power. Got so much for herself as for me, and—within certain limits—she has made me like herself, She dragged me at the heels of society until she compelled recognition. In return she asks only that I marry well. That letter would have paid my debt to her—" She brok® into an almost hysterical laugh. “Mother failed in her generalship when she admitted you today, for—with rou here, sum- moning up pictures of the past—I can't do it!” “You don’t object if I smoke?" Rising abruptly, Adam selected a ‘cigar, and the hand that held the match was unsteady. The girl, hav- ing risen, also watched the flickering flame, hands clasped before _ her. “You, with a thousand moods a day, how do you know that this will last?” The brutality of the question whipped the girl to fury. Catching up the letter she tore it, shred to shred. “By this and this—" she cried passionately, flinging the frag- ments into the flame: Then, empty hands spread wide, she turned from him, suddenly weary of controversy. “Now go, I shall not marry Lord ‘Windmere.” ‘The hands of the clock having com pleted the circle, its silvery gong struck five. Within the hour Rowe had made good his boast, but some- thing in the girl's attitude spoiled the flavor of success.” “Until you put that letter into my hand I had no notion the fellow’s claim was so pressing,” he said tersely. “You see, the girl we've been talking of could give herself for noth- ing less than love. And I had come here, free, for the first time, to speak plainly. Your attitude seemed t- say that time for discussion was past, so —I made time—tI stole an hour—set your clock back! But if you regret your decision, it's not too late. Send you letter to the train, it will anh Windmere all right” “Please go,” repeated the girl wear- | fly. “I'm tired—and mother will have to be told.” | “T said we should discuss matters concerning us both. I can't go till I've sald my say. Luck has stood by me, thought it’s been touch and go. with most of us on the street these last few months. But I’m out of the woods now, and I'm going to take . long vacation.” - ‘The girl's lashes flickered; other. wise she did not stir. “I'm going back to our hills and plains; I want to take you with me.” At last, when she was off guard, the only vital issue between them had taken form. Always, forming the background of her life, she had dis cerned Adam's love. Yet, with a woman's weapons ,she bad avoided recognition of it between them, since, once acknowledged, It could only be a struggle to the death between it and her ambition.

It's awful hard for a little woman to impress people with her dignity. NOVEL SUPPER IDEA NOVEL SUPPER IDEA STAFF OF LIFE IMPORTANT FACTOR IN FUNCTION. Church Entertainment at Which All Courses Are of Bread in Some Form Guaranteed to Make a A novel idea for a church entertainment is a supper in which all the courses are of bread in some form or have the staff of life as an important factor in their composition. For a recent function of the kind invitations were issued in the following form: "The Ladies Aid society of St. John's church cordially request your presence at a staff of life supper on (such a date) at 7 p. m. (price 75 cents)." Perhaps I cannot give a better idea of how to conduct such a merrymaking than to describe the supper for which these cards were issued. The table was effectively and at the same time most economically decorated. The centerpiece was a huge sandwich loaf hollowed out to form a boat and filled with paper flowers. Smaller loaves also scooped out and lined with paraffine paper held the olives and salted nuts. The first course was a delicious cream toast served in place of soup. This was followed by bread fritters with a substantial course of veal loaf, and green peas in little boxes of hollowed out bread browned in the oven. Instead of a salad they had excellent club sandwiches and for desert French pancakes rolled in powdered sugar. Coffee and cake came last of all. The place cards found at each cover bore on one side the names of the guests as usual and on the reverse each had a question relating to bread in history, legend, etc. Between courses these queries were read aloud and the answers searched for. It helped to pass the time merrily. Here are a few of the questions as examples of the series: What real person when told that the poor were dying for want of bread is reported to have said, "Why don't they eat cake?" Marie Antolnette. Who first called bread the "staff of life?" Jonathan Swift. What marvelous bread saved many lives? The manna that fell in the desert. After supper the frolic assumed the general character of a sociable, with several merry contests in which bread played a part. For instance, a table was rolled upon the scene upon which several kinds of loaves were heaped up and players were called on to give each its proper name, as New England loaf, etc. All those who succeeded in writing out complete lists drew for a prize in the form of a pretty bread plate. The home Orange peel burnt in a room will destroy a close, foul smell. Place the peel in a shallow pan and let it burn for several minutes. A few drops of turpentine sprinkled where cockroaches congregate will exterminate them at once, while it will also rid you of red and black ants. Stains in table linen may be easily removed by plunging the articles in pure boiling water. Soap and water would have the effect of fixing the stains. Cracks in walls may be filled up with plaster of paris. Mix this with vinegar instead of water. It will then be like putty and can be used with ease. If mixed with water it hardens so soon that it is very difficult to use it quickly enough. A housekeeper says that before blacking the stove she rubs soap on her hands just as if she were about to wash them and lets it dry. This seems to prevent the polish getting into the pores, and after blacking the stove the hands are easily washed clean. Mashed Baked Potatoes. Bake one or two equal sized potatoes to a turn, when quite hot remove the inside, mash it perfectly smooth, season with butter, or, what is better, cream and salt. Press it through a colander. It will look like vermicell. Place it in a circle around the steak. To Remove Mud Stains. Carbonate of soda will remove the most obstinate mud stains. Rub off with a cloth or flannel dipped in the soda, then press well on the wrong side of the material with a warm iron. To Clean Enamel. When the enamel becomes discolored, scour it with a damp flannel dipped in garden mold, then rinse it in plenty of water. In this way the cleaning is effected without causing scratches or other damage. You Look Prematurely Old SUFFERED 30 YEARS. But Chronic Kidney Trouble Was Finally Cured.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED "Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out on the head and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then she began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She is now sixteen years of age and a picture of health. We used the Cuticura Remedies about five weeks, regularly, and then we could not tell she had been affected by the disease. We used no other treatment after we found out what the Cuticura Remedies would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, Mt. Vernon, Ky., Oct. 12, 1909."

At sixteen a girl thinks about roses and poetry; at twenty-six her thoughts run to cabbages and money. Much has been said about the high cost of living, its causes, and the possibility of a recession. But little has been said about the fact that the false economy existing today in nearly every household. Much foodstuffs are bought with but one particular view, the cheap it get it without a thought of quality or "after cost." One of the most serious is baking powder. Of perfect baking powder the housewife can derive as much economy as from any other article used in baking and cooking. In selecting the baking powder, therefore, care should be taken to ensure that it maintains its original strength and always remains the same, thus making the food sweet and wholesome and producing the heating gas to make the baking light. Very little of this leavening gas is produced by the cheap baking powders, making it necessary to use double the heat, primarily required to secure good results. You cannot experiment every time you make a cake or biscuits, or test the dough out how much of it you should use; yet with most baking powders you should do this for they are put together so carelessly they are never uniform, the quality and strength varying with each baking powder. Calumet Baking Powder is made of chemically pure ingredients of tested strength. Experienced chemists put it together proportions of the different materials in the dough, and the Sealed in air-tight cans, Calumet Baking Powder does not alter in strength and is not affected by atmospheric changes. In using Calumet you are bound to use the most economical, Calumet does not contain any cheap, useless or adulterating ingredients so commonly used to increase the weight. Further, it produces pure, wholesome and nutritious products, and merit; therefore, is recommended by leading physicians and chemists. It complies with all pure food laws, both STATE and NATIONAL. The goods are purchased Calumet from her grocer, if satisfied with it; can return it and have her money refunded. NOTHING SORDID ABOUT HIM Poet Was Looking for Appreciation of the Ages That Stretched Into the Future. The editor looked at the poetry and then he turned back to the poet. For a moment his customary assurance failed him. The poet was so thin and seedy and hollow eyed. "See here, my friend," he said in as gentle a voice as he could assume on short notice, "I don't want to discourage you, but while your stuff here is fairly good—and perhaps a little better—it is a standing rule of this paper never to buy poetry." The poet drew himself up with a sudden sport. "Why, suffering Dante," he cried, "you didn't suppose from my appearance that I was out for the filthy simoleons, did you? Why, bless your journalistic soul, all I'm working for is a plain niche in the Hall of Fame!" No Union. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, at a luncheon at the Colony club in New York, urged on women the necessity for union. "If we are to get the vote," she said, "we must stand together. Too many women face this question as they face all others—like the elderly belles at the charity ball. "What a flatterer Wooter Von Twiller is!' said the first belle. "Why, did he tell you you looked nice?" said the second. "No,' was the reply. 'He told me you did!" Some One Must Do It. The Significant Wink. "I think," said the weary stranger, "that I'll go somewhere and take forty winks." The hack driver looked puzzled. "What's the trouble?"

Look at Leech’s pictures in the old numbers of Punch —pretty, tasteful and bright, they were a pleasure to look at. “But the 1910 female seems either to be wrapped up in a bundle of rags, with the least clean one spread over her hat and tied under her chin, or else she discards as much of her cloth- ing as she can—leaves her hat at home and gets her head full of dust; exposes her chest to every wind that Dlows, displays ankles that show the solidity of her understanding, runs about the island half-clad, crumpled and dustladen. Is it to convey the impression that they have all traveled in motors? “But the motorist deserves a line to himself. He represents the last arrogance of wealth. He comes hoot: ing, squeaking, bellowing, tinkling, roaring or whistling with a piercing scream, to tell everybody to get out of the way.” HOW DAY ENDS IN DESERT When the Sun Sets the Colors in the Sky and Earth Are Almost Too Beautiful for Description. ' A fitting close to a day of songbirds and flowers is a desert sunset! The Calico mountains to the north first an- jnounce the day’s decline. Late in the yafternoon its rents and gashes become masses of purple shadow, strikingly ‘outlined by the exposed sunlit stretches ‘which are gradually absorbed until the whole mountain is dull and lifeless. When the sun is low, the rugged range to the southwest is tinged with a rosy glow varying from a dull pink to a deep rose, into which a purple hue gradually blends till it subdues all the brightness and the purple, in turn, change? to blue. As the sun sinks out of sight the light clouds in the east be come softly pink, the color spreading ‘around to the nofth, and finally center- ing in the west, where the clouds are masses of burnished gold, which merge into a brilliant rose color. Sometimes between the bright clouds and the horizon 1s a stretch of delicate green, with a hint of yellow Mght shining through; and always, in living over a desert sunset, you will see the soft clr- cling flight of the nighthawk skimming ‘over the ground and hear the low call of the dove. When the brightness has faded and tho blue has crept in and banished the red you draw a deep ‘breath and feel yourself a part of the Peace and quiet of the sky. You begin to understand the lure of the desert. You feel as if body and soul had al- \ways been crowded for room and had jsuddenly been set free in this im- mensity. When night falls and you |e down to sleep under the sky thick- ily studded with stars the clear wind- swept air caresses your cheek with a itouch as soft as velvet and you fall jasleep thanking God for this country lor vast spaces and rugged mountains, \the playground of mighty winds, and leep under the stars is sweet and re hing—Mary Alberta Beal in the tlook. f When One Has Fever. In cases of excessive thirst that ‘arise from feverish conditions the juice of half a lime poured over cracked ice or mixed with charged waters will give relief {f slowly sipped a little at a time. It ts often found that very hot water taken by the teaspoonful will satisty thirst more quickly than any other drink. The effect 1s heightened if a few drops of orange, lemon or lime juice is added, or a half teaspoonful ‘of baking soda. The main thing in thirst quenching 1s not to gulp down great quantities of Mquid, to take nothing too sweet, or too rich and to avoid ice water, which, contrary to usual pellef, increases rather than decreases thirst, and against which all doctors fight. Withers“ Mie Anterest toy, It was at a ball game between Cht cago and Pittsburg. The score was tled, two men were out, a runner was on third and Hans Wagner was at bat! The crowd was too excited to be noisy, says Lippincott’s Magazine. A sporting editor had taken his neighbor to the game. The neighbor was not a fan, (but he had succumbed to the de lights of “traveling on a pass” and was having a real, garrulous, good time. At the moment when there wasn't a heart beating on the bleachers, and the grand standers were nauseated with suspense, the sporting editor's neighbor emitted this: ' “Look, Jake! ‘Look at that coke train! Did you ever see one engine pulling so many carst ee gonna count ‘em!” It Rested With Him. Upton Sinclair, discussing the fast: tng cure that he has done so much to advance, said in New York: “Fasting has become as popular es appendicitis. I hope, though, tt won't fall into the same disrepute. “It’s currently belfeved, you know, that a leading surgeon said to his wife one dey: “q operated on Mrs Gobsa Golde for appendicitis last night.’ “Goodness!” said the lady, ‘T won. er who'll have it next!” “qT don't know,’ the surgeon an swered, absently; ‘I haven't decided wet?” STARVING’. WITH $15,000 Plight of Two Alaska Prospectors Who Had Plenty of Gold Dust and Of- fered It for a Meal. Mining the glittering gold success- fully on a claim and then transport- ing it to some bank or assay office seems to be a task fraught with many difficulties for the Alaska miner. Word has just been received from Katalla, Alaska, of the exciting experience of H. Parsons and A. Hill, two prospec- tors, who nearly starved to death with $15,000 in gold dust in their posses- sion. Parsons and Hill had made a nice clean-up on their claims at Yakatage and decided to take their gold to the bank at Katalla. Leaving Yakatage in a dory, they proceeded as far as Seal river, where they encountered a dense fog. Fearing they might be blown to sea, they landed at the mouth of ‘the river. As the fog cleared a storm came, causing a heavy surf which smashed their dory’and destroyed the greater part of the, provisions. ‘The gold dust had been carefully packed ashore, but the men were miles from any camp, and their only hope of reaching civilization was a march of miles over rough country and the swimming of glacier rivers, or perchance a passing fisherman might pick they up. After waiting several days for some chance relief, their scant food supply gave out and they were compelled to make the mush to Kennuck island, which was accomplished by swimming several glacier rivers and depending on wild strawberries for food. An In- dian canoe was obtained at Kennuck, in which the men made the remainder of the trip to Katalla. ‘Throughout the trip the mien clung to the gold dust, but declared they would have given it all for a boat ‘and a square meal many times during the trip to Kennuck island. HE PRACTISES LAW BY EAR Plerce Butler's Retort to the Super- cllious Question of a College Man In a Chicago Club. Pierce Butler, special counsel for the government in the bleached flour cases, according to his own de scription of himself, is but a plain, rough-necked Irishman who grabbed his knowledge of law between times while making a living by other kinds of work. When he went into the prosecution of the flour cases he met up with a large number of untversity lawyers anr chemists. While they were all dining at the Chicago club one evening the university men be gan telling stories about their boys at Yale, Harvard, Princeton and other places where Butler had never been, “Ah, by the way, Mr. Butler,” aske¢ one of the high brows with appropri. ate university accent, “of what school are you a graduate?” “Not any,” sald Butler; “I just prac tise law by ear.” Butler thinks the time of the black leter lose pretense in tre professions ‘and science is past. In cross-examinin. ing one of the high brow chemists he wanted to know something more about a proposition in chemistry the witness had laid down. “Well, really, Mr. Butler,” said the chemist in a superior sort of way, “you see this is a matter of involved inor ganic chemistry and I doubt whether I can explain it so that you can un- derstand it.” “Um—well, suppose you give me the denefit of the doubt,” safd Butler. .. Now the Crewless Warship. A new type of warship, invented by Messrs. Wirth, Beck & Knauss of Nu remberg, is causing a great sensation in naval stations. All the movements of the new vessel can be controlled from a land station many miles dis. tant. During recent experiments at Dutz endtetch a 30-foot boat was made to gc forward, backward, turn in a circle and fire mines and torpedoes, all its opera tions being directed from the shore. ‘Nobody was on board the boat. Representatives of foreign naval powers are negotiating with the in. yentors. Experts predict a great fu: ture for the new craft—New York ‘Sun. His Conclusion. Claude Grahame White, the English aviator, praised, at a dinner in New York, the American stage. “Your plays are livelier than ours,” he said. ‘Our plays are very dull and stupid. A novelist sald to me one night at the Automobile club in London: “qT have written several plays and they have all been rejected. So I de- voted last month to a study of the Lon- don theater. I took in every play in town. I was resolved to get a lot of points on the English stage.’ ~ “And did you learn much?” said I. “ ‘Well,’ said the novelist, moodily, ‘I came to the conclusion that I'm the ‘only man alive who can’t get a poor play put on.’” Barcelona. Barcelona is divided, for adminis- trative purposes, into the old Barce- lona of the Middle Ages and the new Barcelona, with its wide streets and beautiful residences. The public works of the old and new parts are intrusted to separate Spanish officials and paid for out of separate funds, and the problems are entirely distinct. In the new town the sum of $6,500,000 is being expended om a sewerage sys- tem, while the old town is mediaeval in this as in other respects, and even has a bit of sewer built in Roman times. WIFIE WON'T HELP AGAIN Popular Author’s Spouse “Improved” His Book to the Extent of a ‘Loss of $7,000. It isn’t fair to tell the name of the author. But one of the writers of best sellers turned out a fine piece of work a year or 80 ago. He took the rough draft of it to a publisher, and the man of ledgers fell for it ina minute. “I'll take it back to my wife and let her go through it to catch any errors of English,” said the author, and the publisher agreed. ‘When the corrected draft was re- turned, it seemed that the lady had caught errors that were not of Eng- lish, She didn’t agree, for example, with the hero's liking for brunette ladies, being of the opinion that blondes are the highest type of beau- ty. It 1s just a coincidence that she is herself a blonde. And there were ‘one or two elinorglyn episodes that the lady expurgated. And she changed the plot a bit, because, as she justly said, things like that never happened in real life—and if they did, they were never referred to by nice people. The sale of the book was confined to the free copies sent to the reviewers. Last week the author brought the draft of another story to the same publisher. “Fine, great, magnificent!” said the ardent gentleman when he read it. “My readers are crazy about it. I eried Ike a child in chapter 10 and, although my eyes are getting weak, I sat up until two o'clock in the morn- ing to finish it. Just sign the con- tract on the dotted lines.” ‘The author signed, and then asked for the draft. “I want to take the draft home and let my wife go over ft and catch the errors,” said he. “You know my grammar gets a little eross-eyed sometimes.” “Never again,” said the publisher. “I have that manuscript locked in a safe, and if your wife tries to inter. fere with it I'll have her pinched. She's an estimable lady and a good housekeeper—but the last time she tried to improve one of your stories ‘she cost me $7,000.” SLENDER BALTIMORE WOMEN They Take Off Flesh by Rolling on the Floor and Running Up Stalre. “How slender the Baltimore women are,” remarked an admiring critic the other day. And so they are. There is hardly @n ounce of superfluous flesh in the entire city. Elderly women who once appeared after a summer trip rolling in flesh now come home tanned and weather beaten, but with firm muscles and slender waists. It is marvelous how they do It. Watching in a tearoom, however, one learns something of the secrets. “I must not eat oysters; they make flesh, you know,” the woman next you remarks, while her neighbor murmurs that itis hard to have to give up the things you most care for simply to keep below 140 pounds. “I love choo- olate in any form,” she says. The last sentence {s not germane, but every Jone seems to understand what she means. 5 | “Try rolling on the floor,” darkly whispers the woman at the suffrage meeting to one near her. |. “I have,” she replies stbilantly; “it |took off ten pounds in a month. But it was ruinous to my bones.” “Your bones must get used to {t. With gowns that are tight around [the ‘mnees you cannot afford to have hips, and they must be got rid of some way.” “You cannot roll in an apartment,” Groans a listener. “But then you cannot live in am partment at all if you are fat.” “True,” she sighs, and subsides. | “Run up and down stairs,” sug gested a lecturer not long ago, her subject being “The Good, the True and the Beautiful,” with particular attention to the last. | But ft turned out that her entire audience lived in apartments, and they: had fewer stairs than anything else in their lives.—Baltimore Kvening Sun, Hunters Caught in Traps. A pecullar double accident marked the opening in northern New Jersey of the season for shooting quail, part. ridge, grouse, English pheasant, squir: rel, wild turkey and woodcock. Among the hunters who left Bloomfeld. were Max Wiemer and Isaac K. McGtrr. ‘They reached a patch of woods on the second mountain, fronting on Little Falls road, by daylight, and started lout in opposite directions, so that they would not shoot each other. Soon Wiemer heard his companion scream for help. He ran toward Mo- Girr, fell into a bear trap and was held fast, the sudden shock almost dislocating his thigh. McGirr shouted ‘to Wiemer that he also was caught tn a bear trap. ‘Timothy Spear, a farmer, went to thelr assistance and released them. wii @nntasy Aiineds: “We should always be prepared,” sald H. K. Adair, the San Francisco de- tective, in an interview in New York, “and then we will miss nothing. “You've heard, perhaps, of the young lady who said, as she sipped her tea: — “Tye just had such a dreadful ex. perience.’ - “*h dreadful exparience?’ asked an- ‘other young lady, “Yes, was the reply. ‘I saw a ‘splendid bargain in shoes downtown end I've got ‘a hole in my stockings.’ * 3833 S 777 - Officiad Directory Knights & Daughters OF TABOR ZANSAS—NEBRASKA JURISDICTION =MIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS Of 18S—St. Marie, Omaha, Neb.
