MINICK The People's Candidate For MAYOR Gives Here Below Has Signed Statement If Elected He Will Carry Out These Policies M. H. More than 4,000 of the voting population of the city of Wichita have signed a petition as provided by law praying for the recall of the mayor and two commissioners of the city administration, and said petition having been presented to the commissioners of this city, and found by that body to be legal in form, and that it stated the necessary facts as required by law, justifying it in issuing a proclamation for an election, that the question of the recalling of these officers might be affirmed or disaffirmed by the people of this city, I have filed a petition required by law and am now a candidate for the office of mayor. I respectfully submit to the people of the city of Wichita that the issue is not as to the merits or demerits of the recall law. Questions Not At Issue. Those questions are not now at issue. The sole question is what is best to do under all of the conditions for the city of Wichita. Whether it desires to continue or not an administration that neither commands the respect or confidence of the people of this city, and of this state. For Wichita is such an integral part of this great state that its administration attracts the attention of the state. I recognize in this method of ousting officers, in cities and states as well, who no longer command the respect and confidence of their constituencies is largely experimental and untried. It can be said however, without successful contradiction, that its friends and advocates are found among the advanced thinkers and statesmen of this country. Those Responsible. Really, however, it is not necessary to go away from home in search of its supporters. In this city its warm and determined friends have been the advisers, sponsors and directors of the executive of the present city government. These men are more responsibl for the building up in this city of this sentiment by their utterances and publications than are the advocates of this measure from abroad. This is so true that in all fairness and decency these men should not be allowed to attract the public attention away from the real issue by their criticisms of the recall law. So far as this city is concerned they were the attendant mid-wives at its birth, nursed it in its infancy, and now in the vigor of its manhood if it should have got beyond the control of its forbears they should not complain, and the people should take their criticism with a full knowledge that they are responsible for the sentiment which has developed into this recall election. really, however, it is not no of its supporters.

Enforcement of Laws. For the enforcement of the law of this city, and especially the law generally recognized in K. at its enforcement is favored of the state. I shall enlist this city of Wichita by direct question by discharge of their duties in res. As Regards Chief of Police, the chief of police of this city is a citizen will not demand it is necessary for the press I shall stand for the enforcement of the laws of this state and the ordinances of this city, and especially the prohibitory law. The prohibitory law is so generally recognized in Kansas as a safe and sane proposition that its enforcement is favored practically by the unanimous sentiment of the state. I shall enforce the prohibitory law of the state in this city of Wichita by direct and positive action, and shall not handle this question by discharging officers who are faithful in the performance of their duties in respect to this law. As Regards Chief of Police. I shall see that the chief of police of this city is some citizen whose past record as a citizen will not demand an official apology. I do not believe that it is necessary for the preservation of the peace and order of the city of Wichita nor to rid the city of those who are at war with the city's peace and dignity to appoint for this service men whose sole reputation rests upon the statement that they know I shall favor, and in so far as is within my power see that the police force of this city is selected from her citizenship and are men having families to support. Against Purchase of Waterworks. I shall not favor, and so far as within my power do everything I can to prevent, the purchase of the present city water plant. Recognizing, however, that the people of this city will have the right to petition for and have that question submitted to them for their determination. For Regulation of Waterworks. Pending the proposition of building a municipally owned plant or the purchase of the old one at a price under any circumstances far less than it is now being offered to the city, I favor such action which will at once force the corporation owning the water plant of this city to immediately put it into such shape as to at once give to this city adequate fire protection. For Curtailment of Expenses. I do not believe that it is necessary and shall so far as in me lies the power curtail the present unnecessary expenditure of public moneys by the present city administration. I believe in the advancement and the development of our city by public improvements when such public improvements are necessary and will be an actual benefit to the city, but I do not believe in the pushing of such costly enterprises to an extent that will be burdensome to the citizens. I believe in the domination of the city administration by all the people of the city of Wichita. I shall not recognize the right of any man or syndicate to perform the services that fall to me as mayor of the city of Wichita. Public Printing. I believe in the matter of public printing that the same rule should be adopted that the general gc government adopts in its purchase of its supplies, that such printing should be let to the lowest bidder.

The spiritual man need the stimulus the church can not give, and the physical man needs the gymnasium and the social man needs the harmony of all the Christian influences to act as a lover and to make him a safe individual. Here, under the shadow of all the beneficent gifts of eternal life the individual may grow unhampered by creeds and become charged with the reflected opinions of a grand galaxy of mental and moral philosophers whose self is lost in the great work of human uplift. The slogan of 1911 is the Y. M. C. A. What The Negro Thinks There seems to be a rowing conviction in the North that the solution of the race problem that should be left in the South. Attending, this settling conviction are the commercial and cowardly shirkings of the North of her responsibility as to how that problem is. Attending, also that easing of the conscience of North and the nation, is the utter disregard of what the Negro thinks about the settling of his status. Therein the North does injustice to the Negro, and closes its eyes to Negro injustice. Therein the North may be sleeping over a sleeping voleano. Recognition of the fact that the Negro is not a negligible quantity in the solution of his own problem has recently come from a high and unexpected source, the president-elect of the University of South Carolina Prof. C S. Mitchell, Speaking be fore the Unitarian Club of Providence, he said: "See what the Negro has done in forty years. At the time of the war the question was two-sided—what the North thought, and what the South thought. Now it is triangular—what the North thinks, what the South thinks and what the Negro thinks." Let also the timorous North recognize what the Negro thinks The Negro knows he needs and is cultivating the friendship of his white Southern neighbors. By way of industrial school and industrial value, by way of moral and worth a economic wealth he is committed to the working out of his own salvation. But in working for industrial equality, he is not willing to wait for civil equality. Perhaps the most foolish statement put into mouth of President Eliot during his Southern tour was that the Negro should wait five hundred or a thousand years before he would be qualified to hold office. Now, the Negro does not think he should wait even five or ten years for such qualification. The Negro knows that, like his white neighbor, he has many men able to represent his race. The Negro does not think that he should form any such permanent political slave class in this Republic. He recognizes his experience and illiteracy but he also sees the illiteracy and depravity of white Continued on Page Eight NO.24 W. F. SCHELL. Candidate For City Commissioner at the Recall Primary Monday, Sept. 18, 1911. FRIEND TO LABOR AND THE COL- ORED PEOPLE. The laboring men and the colored people of Wichita never had a more consistent and conservative friend in official life than W. F. Schell, who is now a candidate for city commissioner at the recall primary next Monday, September 18. Those who are not personally acquainted with Mr. Schell an this splendid record need only to ask the older PETER H. BURKE citizens about him to be convinced that no voter will make a mistake in voting for Mr. Schell as one of the City Commissioners at the primary Monday, Sept. 18. For twelve years Mr. Schell was a member of the city council of Wichita and he was one of the very few men in that assembly who would dare to speak and vote in the interest of the man who labors for his living and for the interest of the colored people. He was one of the men who voted to establish No. 3 hose house with a colored fire company; he was one of the first men to advocate the creation of the "white wings" with coloured labor; he was one of the first men to favor an eight hour day for city laborers at an increase in pay of 15 per cent. He was one of the first councilmen to favor an increase in wages of city teams. On all public questions Mr. Schell was one of the men whom the tax payers could rely upon. He has a clean, clear-cut record and although he served twelve consecutive years as councilman during all this long time there was never one hint at any graft or corruption in his record. Mr. Schell was not a candidate for this office—but his friends realized worth and "drafted" him and now that he has consented to make the race he desires that all his old anw new friends and the voters at large rally to his support next Monday, September 18, and help him to win. This can be truthfull ysaid of Mr. Schell—that should he be nominated Monday and elected, no citizen or tax payer will have to use any red tape to get to see him. His wide experience, his record for honesty and integrity and his loyalty to his fellow men will be valuable to Wichita. When you vote Monday, September 18th, vote for W. F. Schell for one of the city commissioners. IF IT EVER HAPAENED YOU WILL FIND IT IN THE SEARCHLIGHT. LATEST RETURNS SHOW MAJOR ITY OF 225 AGAINST REPEAL. After Conceding Victory for Repeal, Prohibition Votes Gained Unexpectedly. Portland, Maine. — The latest revised returns obtainable on the question of the repeal of constitutional prohibition reduced the majority against repeal to 295. There are enough election districts still to be heard from to change this majority in favor of the "wets," although it is expected that the "drys" will come out of the close contest winners. The total count at last reports was: For repeal, 60,216; against repeal, 60,511. It was a day of constant surprises. At first it was conceded by the prohibitionists that the local optionists had won the election. Then the "drys" forged ahead until with but 196 towns and plantations still to be heard from, the majority against the repeal was given at 465. Accompanying these figures was the statement that the votes yet to be received would be against the repeal, undoubtedly, and that 50 "dry" votes were known to exist in Portland not included because of an admitted error. This change in the situation came after the prohibitionists had conceded defeat and those favoring repeal had sent out statements of what they would do next. Mr. L. M. Stevens, president of the National W. C. T. U., made the following statement: "On September 9 England cabled: 'Hold the fort, the world watches.' Frederick G. Fassett, secretary of the Maine Non-partisan Local Option league said: "We do not concede that the amendment has been reaffirmed. We shall wait for the official canvass and then decide whether to take steps to secure an inspection of the ballots."

It is surprising, to one who has not given the matter thought, how many little points there are connected with the planning of an up-to-date, convenient residence that can be gotten all wrong if the architect is not exceedingly careful, or doesn't know his business, and the house resulting be almost ruined, as far as comfort and the conveniences of housekeeping are concerned. It has been frequently suggested that architects doing residence work should seek the advice of women concerning many points, and find out from first-hand testimony just how it is the housekeeper wants to have the many features, which mean so much to her, but which mere man knows very little of. Some of these points that have been suggested are as follows: What woman would put in laundry tubs so deep that the luckless worker who is of short or medium stature is in constant danger of pitching forward upon her head, while the tall woman can at least reckon upon a headache or backache as the result of a few hours' work; or who but a man would make the ledge between the tubs so wide that no ordinary wringer can be fitted to it? Would any woman dream of standing a kitchen range so close to the wall on the side where the match has to be applied and the stop cocks regulated that it is by difficult maneuvering with the left hand that the range can be managed at all? Nor is there any plausible reason for so arranging the wall spaces that the refrigerator must stand next to the stove, while the closet in the kitchen, which is to be used as a pantry is as far away from the self-same Stove as it is possible to place it— presumably to give the cook some thought. must exercise in getting up a meal. Another idea which should suggest itself to the woman architect, or architect's assistant, is the fact that the toilet room, if there is but one, should be separate from the bathroom, as a matter of family convenience; also, if the bathroom is on the second floor, an extra toilet and lavatory should be provided on the first floor. There is no good reason, either, for setting a bathtub a few inches above the floor, thus leaving a space underneath which is almost inaccessible and yet must be kept clean for sani- TOILET 76' X 90' KITCHEN 110' X 100' LIVING RM. 16' X 12' MALL 74' X 10' DINING RM. 15' X 12' PORCH 14' X 16' First Floor Plan tary reasons. Then, too, if the demand were insistent enough, manufacturers might see fit to market a washstand so made that a woman's hair would not inevitably catch upon the faucet every time she washes her face. A clever woman assisting in planning houses or apartments would see the advantage of plain moldings and woodwork, oiled kitchen and bathroom floors and walls. Another feature that might be easily introduced in the kitchen, laundry and bathroom floors is a drain, so that they could be flooded with water that would run off through connections with pipes. In the more luxurious homes, dish and clothes washers run by electricity would help materially to render the work less disagreeable and to induce the servant problem to settle itself. --- Fireless cookers now used by not a few up-to-date housekeepers might also be built in. Outdoor racks for garbage cans, with openings into the kitchen, have at last found their way into a few of the better class apartment houses, but these as well as solled clothes chutes from upper floors to the laundry should be installed in every well-appointed private house. Indoor drying rooms for use on snowy or rainy wash-days are another convenience that might easily be provided for in the cellar, but are generally lacking. These are but a few of the things that a woman assistant could keep before the eyes of an Second Floor Plan architect in the domestic branch of the work. In buildings that are to be rented, it should be made an invariable rule to put in as many permanent features as possible, such as towel and soap racks and medicine chests in bathrooms, utensil shelves and hooks in kitchen and pantry, as well as curtain hooks and portiere poies, in addition to shades and screens for windows and doors. For, where it is not done, each succeeding tenant adds his mite, to the disfigurement of walls and woodwork. In the design illustrated herewith THE HOME OF THE FAMILY many of these suggestions have been taken advantage of. We, who make a specialty of house designing, are better equipped with these bits of special knowledge than are the general run of architects. This design is offered as embodying a great many of these desirable features and the labor-saving conveniences which the women appreciate. In this design there are three large rooms on the main floor, besides pantry, downstairs toilet room, ice-box alcove and back entry. The front of the house is especially attractive, with the large living room lighted on three sides. Broad cased openings connect the stair hall with the living room on one side and the dining-room on the other, making in all a very spacious apartment. The kitchen is convenient to the dinin-room, also to the front door and the stairs. The second floor of this house is small, compared to the first floor plan, since the living room is a one-story wing with flat roof. This, however, provides a very nice second-story balcony opening out of one of the bedrooms, which can be used very easily for an outdoor sleeping room in the summer time. Both of the bedrooms are of good size and are nicely arranged for convenience. This house is designed along strictly modern lines, giving the popular cement stucco outside finish. This house will cost from $3,500 to $4,000, depending on the local material and labor market. It is a design of a good deal of style and can be recommended as generally satisfactory.

ANOTHER GIRL (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) When the S. S. Marton had pulled out of sight of the crowd on the pier, Jimmy Murphy turned a wholly disinterested glance upon his fellow passengers. For the time being, his position as a newly engaged man, hung heavily on his shoulders. Helen Danvers, his fiancee, had been on the pier and as the boat pulled away leaving only the murky water between her and the man of her choice, Helen's piquant face had found a tearful nest in the bit of lacy camcibl which served as a handkerchief. Still, as the day wore on Jimmy cheered up. It seemed to him that he had never before crossed the briny deep on so wonderfully laden a ship. In companionways, in the library, in the boat of the boat and in the stern he seemed destined to meet fragments from the feminine world and each bit looked prettier than the last. For a moment Jim Murphy felt aggrieved; his allegiance to Helen Danvers shut him off from any shipboard romance—a here-to-fore much enjoyed privilege of the ocean voyage. It was at dinner that the blow came. He was in the act of giving his order to the steward when that individual rushed to the assistance of the girl who had been assigned to the seat next to his own. After one glance at her, Murphy realized that, had he been a steward, his actions would have been the same. "I am afraid I interrupted your order." The girl looked into Murphy's eyes. The heart of the engaged man quaked. The girl was beautiful. "After you." Murphy's tone was reserved to the point of unfriendliness. The girl cast a quick glance at him then turned to contemplate the menu. Murphy felt that he had been thrown from her regard much as she would discard an unpleasing bit of fabric. It was too mech for Jimmie's knowledge of the joy of living. He turned to her with a smile that shone from his heart. "Please forgive my seeming rudeness," he sald with a full measure of friendliness in his eyes. "I am a trifle peevish—there are the jollest lot of pretty girls on this boat that I have ever crossed with and I feel afraid of all of them." Molly Sherwell laughed and glanced questioningly at Murphy. "I would not have selected you as one fearful of feminine wiles." It seemed for a second that the very engines stopped their vibrations; then the girl spoke again. "That does make considerable difference." She paused while a queer little shadow flitted across her face. "I believe that I, too, would be afraid to cross the ocean with some jolly men on board if I owed allegiance to one in particular. Ocean liners seem to be the embodiment of the old time sorceress—I feel sure that she at least wields her wand over them all." "The wand of infatuation—only?" Jimmy Murphy but half expected an answer. "Infatuation is exactly the word," laughed Molly. "I have crossed the ocean nine times and on every trip I fell madly in love." "And the men?" Murphy put the question quickly, eagerly desirous of knowing the outcome. "Three of them wanted me to marry them; the others were merely the effect of moonlight, the lapping of the waves and leisure hours spent in closely set steamer chairs." "And you?" Again the eager question. "I? Well—as soon as my feet touch the wharf I am as heart-free as if I had never seen a boat." "Oh!" Jimmy Murphy was silent for so long a time that his companion broke into a soft laugh. "Surely you are not going to have many more such serious and profound moments during this trip?" "I will tell you exactly what I was thinking—if you care to know." Murphy turned so that he met her startled glance. "Do you?" "No," she put in quickly. "I shall tell you, anyway. When you interrupted my thoughts I had just conquered a desire to make you care for me—your attitude made me desire a siege in which you would be the victim—but my better nature won out and—" Murphy laughed lightly. "Then I have missed a rather amusing game—haven't I?" Jim Murphy's lips shut tight. Molly Sherwell cast a glance at him and felt satisfied. Flippant remarks would have to bridge many a chasm with this man and she hoped that her in-consequent moods would never be far from her command. "Since you are heartless and I am engaged we are certainly well guarded against the wiles of the ocean—will you walk on deck with me now? I insist on being friends—friendship is great between a man and a woman, isn't it?" Molly left the question unanswered. It was the tenth day, and on the morrow Queenstown and all that the word meant would be with the passengers of the Marlon. In the evening, the last night on board, Molly Sherwell and Jim Murphy paced a moonlit deck. "This has been the most pleasant of my trips." It was the girl who spoke. "For once, the voyage has "But I am engaged. been calm and chummy rather than emotional—isn't it so?" "Perhaps it has been to you—" Molly laughed quickly. "I do believe you would be serious in another day or two. It is a good thing that we will be having that sad sweet parting so soon—" "Stop! You know as well as I that you are only trying to cover the real by the flippant.' All the time I am in London—you are going to be there. You have promised to give me one month of your splendid friendship and we are going to all the theaters, operas and dinners that we can crowd into thirty days." "No, no—that was some of our inconsequent chatter at the beginning of the trip." Molly tried to draw her arm away. When they arrived at the stern of the boat where no sound came save the rush of foamy water, he stopped her and spoke in a voice made rich by new depths. "You are not going back on your promise. I love you, dear—it has been so since you came and sat beside me at the table. It is not the first time that a man has found the one woman when it was too late and I am not complaining—I am only glad to have known, even for a short time, such love as I feel for you." He drew her so near him that she started back with a faint cry. He released her and before he realized her intention she was away and out of his sight. He stood for some moments where she had left him. He was dazed by the vastness of his love for her; too much so to reason that life with any other woman was impossible. He did not see Molly Sherwell again that night nor the next morning. The tender was alongside the Marion and most of the passengers for Queenstown were on the smaller boat. Murphy scanned every part of the ship, but the girl was not to be seen. He concluded that she was in her stateroom packing as she was to go on to Liverpool. Nevertheless he paced the deck nervously expectant. Some inner consciousness told him that events were shaping themselves into strange channels. When the tender with its load of Queenstown passengers was ready to detach itself from the great ship Murphy gave a tremendous start. Molly Sherwell was on the tender. She was getting off at Ireland and he, the man who loved her, had no address, no possible clue to where she would be. She had taken this means of escape! Murphy looked down at the thin stream of water which was slowly widening between the two boats. Without stopping to think of what he was doing he rushed below. In the companionway he was stopped. A cable for William James Murphy. He scarcely comprehended the contents as he continued his mad dash for the lowest possible deck of the Marlon. When he reacred the closest spot to the tender and his eye caught sight of a trailing rope from her stern he made a firm clear dive into the almost calm water. There was a fearful stirring on both boats and life preserves were hurled from all points. Murphy prayed, while he struggled with the sea, that he might reach that rope before a life saver reached him. He was a powerful swimmer. After a brief but mighty struggle his hands found and clung to the rope of the tender. For one second his eyes looked up and he saw the face of Molly Sherwell. Her eyes were praying for his safety and her arms were outstretched. "He is mine!" he heard her say to those who would have cared for him when he went for a moment into the unconscious world. Later, Molly bent over him. "You might have died—dear—" Her voice broke. "I would have died anyway—without you. Everything went with you—what was the game worth without love?" The cable, soaked and quickly disappearing to nothingness, fell between them. "My first fiancee was very fickle. She married the other fellow five days after I left. Molly—do you know whether or not we have to live in London more than a week before we can get a license to—" "Even a week would seem long—wouldn't it, dear?" Woman Had Him Guessing. Dan McCarthy, auditor for Cohan & Harris, was fondling ten new $100 bills in his office a day or two ago when a well known New York play broker—a woman—dropped in. "What have you get there?" she asked of the auditor. "It's some of our new stage money." replied McCarthy. Here he handed her a $100 bill. "Pretty good imitation, eh?" The woman examined the bill closely. "Is that an imitation?" she asked, in astonishment. "It is." "Well, I declare!" said the caller. Then she dropped the bill in her hand-bag and started away. "I want to show it to my husband," she said. McCarthy, three other heads of departments and the office boy overtook her out on the sidewalk in front of the building.—New York Morning Telegraph.

Good consistency is essential to good taste—when we cheap we usually mean crude. RICE DISHES. Rice being a starchy food, takes the place of potatoes, and is much easier digested, as there is less of the cellulose in the rice. It is an ideal food and in combination with meats, eggs or milk, forms a balanced ration, a perfect combination of proteid, fat and carbohydrates. In many of the eastern countries rice is the main article of food, and if the endurance of the Japanese is due largely to their food, it proves to be a valuable one. One of the characteristic dishes of our own country in the south is the Creole Jambalaya. It is prepared with all kinds of meats, fish and fowl; the only invariable ingredient is the rice, the other things vary according to the supply on hand. The following is a recipe right from the creole cuisine: Cut a pound of fresh pork into dice and chop two onions fine. Pat a large tablespoonful of sweet lard into a deep saucepan, and when hot add the pork and onions, and let them cook brown; then add a pound of chopped ham and a quarter of a pound of Vienna sausage. Next add a bay leaf, a sprig of parsley, two cloves and salt and two quarts of soup stock or water. When boiling hot add a cup of well-washed rice. Boil until the rice is tender, stirring frequently. Serve very hot, seasoned with cayenne and chili sauce. Another favorite combination famous in the south is red beans with rice, prepared as follows: Soak overnight a pound of red beans, then simmer for four hours in two quarts of water; add a tablespoonful of butter, a small onion, minced, half a red pepper (the hot variety), and continue the simmering process for two hours longer. Serve with boiled rice. This is a balanced ration. Escalloped rice with onions makes a most appetizing dish. Put a layer of cooked rice into a buttered dish, add a layer of parboiled onions or chopped uncooked onion, bits of butter, a few dashes of salt and pepper, then more rice until the dish is full. Bake until the onions are tender. Turn out on a platter, surround with sausages and serve. Rice with cabbage, rice with tomato, rice with curry or parsley are a few of the many combinations which may be used. IFE is a voyage. The winds of life come strong From every point; yet each will speed thy course along; If thou with steady hand when tempests blow Canst keep thy course aright and never once let go. WAYS OF USING THE ANCHOVY. This dalty little Mediterranean herring is most delicate eating and adds a zest to any dish to which it is added. They are immediately pickled or salted as they are taken from the water, and come to us in many different preparations: The anchovy paste, which is useful in many ways, as a flavor to macaroni or salad, essence of anchovy also used as a flavor, anchovy butter, anchovies pickled and in oil, and simply salted; they are every one most appetizing. When serving cod or white fish with a white sauce, a little anchovy essence adds greatly to the flavor of the dish. Added to a plain batter sauce it makes a decidedly different dish. Olives stuffed with anchovies are most dalty and zestful as an accompaniment to a salad. Anchovies a la Millionaire.—This recipe, which the name indicates, is not for every day use, but is certainly one worth having for a state occasion. This may be served as a canape. Prepare some neat squares or rounds of toast, butter them and spread thickly with the following paste: Stir in a double boiler the yolk of an egg, two tablespoonfuls of butter and two teaspoonfuls of anchovy paste, a teaspoonful of mushroom catsup, six olives finely chopped, and half a cup of cream. Cook together until smooth. Be careful not to let it boil, then spread over the toast. Over this heap a half cup of whipped cream and garnish with halves of anchovies boned and soaked in milk. Lay the strips so that the ends meet at the top. Either serve at once or chill and serve cold. Canapea of Anchovies.—Have some round pieces of bread cut with a biscuit cutter and fried in deep fat. Chop fine some hard-cooked eggs, season with chervil and chives. (Chervil looks much like parsley when growing, but has a characteristic flavor.) Place the chopped eggs and herbs in a dish and mix with a little mayonnaise, chopped olives, pepper and salt. Spread this mixture on the bread and lay strips of anchovies lattice work fashion over them. Garnish with parsley and serve.

The revival of the tray, and its many uses as a labor saver, would make a long story. The tray of greatest importance is the invalid's tray, and now one sees such beautifully matched sets of china for the invalid's tray that being served in bed need be only a pleasure. The tray may be as rich ard expensive as one's purse permits. Those of some rare old embroidery or dainty design in chintz, framed in mahogany, are very choice and delightful to possess, as they may express one's individuality; such a tray need not be expensive, and will be a joy forever. The little useful bedroom tray is common to all, holding the matches, candle stick, pitcher and water glass. This may be of china, with the articles to match. Those of glass may be kept bright and shining on a tray of nickel or silver. The breakfast tray is a great favorite abroad, and is becoming more and more popular here. The naid in a small family finds it especially helpful, as she may carry the tray with the breakfast steaming hot, and go back to her work without a dining table to set and clear away. On days of extra work an hour in the morning thus saved is a great help towards the day's labor. For a Sunday night supper or for a midnight lunch there is nothing so useful as a tray. The arrangement and placing of all the food and dishes can be quickly done and a chafing dish of a cup of tea or cocoa finishes the service, which may be carried to the living room or library and there served. There is the nursery tray with unbreakable dishes which may be thrown on the floor without injury. These are decorated with Mother Goose designs. Then the soup set with tray is another which is well liked. The bread and milk set has its own tray. For the little folks this is very popular. Napkins to use with a tray should be small. A large tray, not too large to be cumbersome, is a great step-saver in clearing and laying a table. One or two trips from the kitchen and pantry will carry much that is used. Economy should be used in saving time and strength as well as in saving money. We want to get the maximum comfort from the minimum labor, and we half any device or advice which will help us to meet that end. ATE cannot harm me, I have dined today. Since Eve ate apples much depends on dinner. SOME RICE DISHES. Rice is not costly; it is very wholesome and nutritious and may take the place of potatoes most satisfactorily. Rice With Tomato.—Prepare rice by washing and adding a cupful to two quarts of boiling water. Cook until tender, then add a cupful of tomato stewed and seasoned with a little sugar; add salt, pepper and thicken with a teaspoonful of flour cooked with one of butter. Mix with the rice lightly, not to break it or make it mushy, and bake in the oven for twenty minutes. Rice With Cheese.—To one cup of boiled rice add one-half cup of grated cheese, a little butter, one-half cup of sweet cream. Season with salt and pepper and bake in the oven until firm. Rice served with chocolate sauce is well liked by many as a dessert. Another sauce is nice rich grape juice. Rice Custard—Add a cup of boiled rice to a rich custard made with a pint of milk, one-half cup of sugar and the yolks of two eggs. Cook in a double boiler, flavor when cool, mix lightly with the rice and mold. Serve cold. Another rice custard is made by putting the boiled rice into the eggs and milk before cooking, and bake the custard. Rice and Stuffed Onions—Cook until tender four good-sized onions and one and a half cups of rice. Remove the centers from the onions and fill with buttered crumbs. Bake until brown. Pile the rice on a dish, place onions on top, and serve hot. Rice With Curry.—Boll three-fourths of a cup of rice in salted water until tender, then pour into a bowl that has been rinsed with cold water. Let stand a minute then invert on a plate. Sprinkle with curry, dot with bits of butter and serve. Nellie Marwell. Nurse--You have been badly hurt and I must give you an alcohol rub. Patient--Are you sure I am not hurt internally--Smart Set.

It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as inflammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, and nervous prostration.

A LADY LECTURER A lady lecturer writes from Philadelphia concerning the use of right food and how she is enabled to withstand the strain and wear and tear of her arduous occupation. She says: "Through improper food, imperfectly digested, my health was completely wrecked, and I attribute my recovery entirely to the regular use of Grape-Nuts food. It has, I assure you, proven an inestimable boon to me. "Almost immediately after beginning the use of Grape-Nuts I found a gratifying change in my condition. The terrible weakness that formerly prostrated me after a few hours of work, was perceptibly lessened and is now only a memory—it never returns. "Ten days after beginning on Grape-Nuts I experienced a wonderful increase in mental vigor and physical energy, and continued use has entirely freed me from the miserable insomnia and nervousness from which I used to suffer so much. "I find Grape-Nuts very palatable and would not be without the crisp, delicious food for even a day on any consideration. Indeed, I always carry it with me on my lecture tours."

Daniel's Companions in the Fiery Furnace Sunday School Lesson for Sept. 17, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT - Daniel 2. MEMORY VERSES, 17, 18. GOLDEN TEXT - "The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." Heb. 13:6. that the occasion was "the organizing cities and countries, and all the inhabitants of the earth from India to Ethiopia," and places the date in the 15th year of Nebuchadnezzar. This would put the event in the last part of B. C. 586, immediately after the destruction of Jerusalem, on the 15th day of the month. PLACE - Babylon, the plain of Dura, somewhere in the vicinity of the city. PLACE IN THE HISTORY—Jerusalem destroyed. The Jews in captivity throughout the Babylonic empire. Daniel in the service of the empire in some part. Jeremiah in Jerusalem. King Zedekiah and Jeholachim captives at Babylon. Ezekiel at Chebar in Babylonia. So far as we can learn, Nebuchadnezzar's great assemblage of people from all over his empire had for its object the consolidation of his whole kingdom. He had just returned from a triumphant campaign against his enemies in the west and south—against Egypt, Syria and Arabia—and he celebrated his return by the erection of a colossal image and a grand religious festival. The golden image might mark the close of a period of conquest and inaugurate a period of peace. The victories of peace were to absorb the remaining half of his reign. The empire was composed of various countries and races, diverse from one another in disposition, character and interests. They were united by no natural affinity, but by conquest. The whole empire might easily fall to pieces. Nebuchadnezzar would bind these diverse elements by the power of religious worship, at a common center, of one chief god over all the multitude idols. As the Jews were bound together by a magnificent temple at their capital, Jerusalem, whither all went up to worship, so Nebuchadnezzar would place at his capital a huge and costly image, the glory and attraction of the empire. His making Babylon a magnificent city would aid this work. Great fortifications, towers, walls, temples, gates of bronze, hanging gardens, palaces, public buildings of blue, red, yellow and white, the Tower of the Seven Spheres, the Wonder of Mankind palace—all these would attract people to the capital, as Mohammedans are drawn to Mecca. The multitudes were gathered on the plain around the golden image glittering and radiant in the sun. Besides the officers in their richly colored attire, there was a motley gathering of tribes from every direction. All diversities of speech and dress and manners were there. Heralds cried aloud their proclamation in all languages, that when the bands struck their martial music all the people must fall down and worship the golden image; "And whoso faileth not down and worshipeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace." The bands played, and the whole multitude bowed their faces to the ground. Then a strange thing took place; three men stood up clone, and were conspicuous all over the plain, like a city set upon a hill, by their unbowed forms and their splendid robes of office. These three were, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, the three young men who joined with Daniel in refusing to defile themselves with the king's meat. Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury said: "Now if ye be ready, to obey, the past will be forgiven. But if ye worship not, a burning fiery furnace! Let the music sound. And who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? The three, with truly magnificent and unfilinching courage, appear to have answered promptly and without hesitation, showing that they had carefully considered the subject and that with them it was a matter of settled and intelligent principle: "We have no need to answer thee," to explain how God could deliver them, or why they must obey him. There was no time, nor would the king understand. "If it be so, we are cast into the fiery furnace, in spite of all you say, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us." They were put into the furnace. A writer thinks they were bound hand and foot with their own clothes. The king sat watching the issue of the matter, looked through the door into the furnace, and saw a sight at which he was astonished and terrified. He was astonished that the three men were not consumed; that they were loose; that a fourth was with them. The thought flashed upon him that he has come into conflict with a new and unknown power. He rose up in haste, expressing the strength of his astonishment and terror. The princes saw these men. The deliverance was public, unmistakable, and proved by many witnesses. The king recognized the power of the Jews' God. The miracle would make such an impression on the princes and people that the king could more easily treat the Jews kindly. Men who were so faithful to their God that they would die rather than do wrong would be faithful to their king, and could be trusted in all matters. Hence they were reinstated in their places with more influence and permanence than ever. There are still fiery furnaces for those who refuse to worship the golden image—social ostracism, unpopularity, losses of place and honor, failure in business. Death Lurks In A Weak Heart IF You're is fluttering or weak, use "RENOVINE." Made by Van Vieet-Massefield Drug Co., Memphis, Tenn. Price $1.00 DEATH BEFORE 100 YEARS IS SUICIDE Prof. Munyon Says Ignorance of Laws of Health Explains Early End of Life. "Death before 100 years of age has been reached is nothing more or less than slow suicide. A man (or woman) who dies at an early age is simply ignorant of the laws of health. Such was the original and rather startling statement made by Professor James M. Munyon, the famous Philadelphian health authority, who is establishing health education in cities of the world for the purpose of getting in direct touch with his thousands of converts. Munyon is a living embodiment of the cheerful creed he preaches. Virile, well poised, active and energetic, he looks as though he would easily attain the century age limit which he decided to attain. "I want the people of the world to know my opinions on the subject of health, which are the fruit of a life-time experience in people America. There isn't a building this city big enough to house the people in this State alone who have found health through my methods. Before I get enough, I won't be a building big enough to house my cured patients in this city alone. "I want, most of all, to talk to the sick people—the invalids, the discouraged people, the sick and ill, the racking diseases and alliments—for these are the ones to whom the message of hope which I bear will bring the greatest blessing. "I want to talk to the rheumatics, the sufferers from stomach trouble, the ones afflicted with that noxious disease, catarrh. I want to tell my story to the women who have become chronic n-ers, and I want to talk to the men who are 'all run down', whose health has been broken by overwork, improper diet, late hours and other causes, and who feel the creeping sickness. "To these people I bring a story of hope. I can give them a promise of better things. I want to astonish them by showing the record of cures performed." "I have taken the best of the ideas from all schools and embodied them in a new system of treatments individually and now no 'cure alls', but my present method of attacking disease is the very best thought of modern science. The success which I have achieved in the city and all over America proves its efficacy. Old methods must give away to new medical science moves. I know what to do with the people everywhere, I know what they will do for the people of this city. Let me prove my statements—that's all I ask. I know what to do with the callers and mail that comes to Professor James M. Munyon at his laboratories, Fifty-third and Jefferson streets, Philadelphia, Pa. Knowing what to do with the enormous corps of expert physicians busy. Professor Munyon makes no charge for consultation or medical advice, not a doctor or a nurse.

Apropos of the jubilee of the death of Mrs. Browning, it is not generally known that the event occasioned one of the tenderest things her husband ever wrote. He tended her alone the night before she died, and wrote of her passing in a letter of infinite paths addressed to their mutual friend, Mrs. Blagdon: "Then came what my heart will keep till I see her again, and longer—the most perfect expression of her love to me within my knowledge of her. Always smiling and with a face like a girl's; and in a few minutes she died in my arms, her head on my cheek. . . . There was no lingering or acute pain, nor consciousness of separation. God took her to himself as you would lift a sleeping child from a dark, uneasy bed into your arms and the light." "WHY SHOULD I USE CUTICURA SOAP? "There is nothing the matter with my skin, and I thought Cuticura Scap was only for skin troubles." True, it is for skin troubles, but its great mission is to prevent skin troubles. For more than a generation its delicate emollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose, while its extreme purity and refreshing fragrance give to it all the advantages of the best of toilet soaps. It is also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hair live and glossy, and the scalp free from dandruff and irritation. While its first cost is a few cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, it is prepared with such care and of such materials, that it wears to a wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making its use, in practice, most economical. Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and dealers ever wher-, but the truth of these claims may be demonstrated without cost by sending to "Cuticura." Dept. 23 L.

"That isn't because she loves him; it is because she has a sense of humor."—Houston Post. Sincerity is the saving merit now and always.—Carlyle. GRABBED HIM.

Among the most frequent requests that go to the United States senate are those asking some prominent member to give money to charity organizations, hospitals and other philanthropic undertakings. One day a charity worker asked Senator Flint of Californiia, who is not a wealthy man, to give a large sum of money for a free ward in one of the hospitals. "I am sorry that I cannot comply with your request," said the senator gravely; "but, judging from the number of similar demands that have been made upon me in the past, I have decided that I can promote a greater charity. The vast amount of money spent on hospitals in this town convinces me that thousands of people are going to die and be buried without flowers. Hereafter I shall devote my spare money exclusively to sending flowers to the dead."—The Sunday Magazine. Twice Convicted. Another lawyer's story arrives. We are told that a man was charged with picking a pocket the other day and that when arraigned he pleaded "guilty." The case went to the jury, however, and the verdict was "not guilty." And the court spake as follows: "You don't leave this court without a stain on your character. By your own confession you are a thief. By the verdict of the jury, you are a liar."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Senate of Lawyers.
