For nearly thirty years he has been traveling around the world, and is still traveling, bringing health and comfort wherever he goes. To the consumptive he brings the strength and flesh lie so much needs. To all weak and sickly children he gives rich and strengthening food. To thin and pale persons he gives new firm flesh and rich red blood. Children who first saw the old man with the fish are now grown up and have children of their own. He stands for Scott’s Emul sion of pure cod liver oil —a delightful food and a natural tonic for children, for old folks and for all who need flesh and strength.

No woman is willing to acknow ledge that she was a victim of un- ! required affection. Some men speak of matrimony as one of the ills of life. Every woman likes to he told! that she presents a stylish appear ance. The ungrateful man finds no trouble in explaining his attitude. When a woman is satisfied with her position it proves she is un duly favored. Ambition often is held responsi ble by men for acts which are little less than foolhardy. Every woman thinks her social standing is as good as that of every other woman. I Men sometimes take on airs of * cosequeuce through the mistakes of others. It is hard to make a woman realize that business tact will wear better than seif-assertiveness. A Great Meeting.

Each Association will send a team of five men. Marking will bo based on grace and ease of movement. A feature of the Convention will be the attendance of men | from communities where there are :no Associations. Those men are I planning to learn something from this organization which has de monstrated its ability to cope with so many problems of vital interest to men, and a Section Conference is arranged for their special benefit, where the possi bilities of practical special effort for the young men in places too small to support a Y’oung Men’s Christian Association will be discussed.

' The Kind Yoa Have Always Ooqflt i T THE BARNESVILLENEWS-GAZBTTE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1903. Treat the South Fairly. It would seem only necessary to consider this whole matter of the appointment of colored men and women, to public offices, north or south, from a calm, dis passionate, and so far as possible unprejudiced point of view, to avoid all controversy which has been lately stirred up over this subject. Every intelligent per son in this country must under stand by this time exactly how the southern people feel about such appointments, and what the general sentiment is in that part of the Union in regard to appear ance of members of the colored race in any prominent political way. Even those who regard the sentiment as wrong must admit that its existence is in no way re markable or surprising. That it does exist we all know, and we know also that this feeling is deep, fixed and apparently ine radicable. We also know and will admit, if we are frank about it, that much the same feeling exists in the north. In theory, we of the north regard the negro as en titled to equal rights, privileges and recognitions in politics and business with ourselves. But as a matter of fact we believe nothing of the kind. Our practi ces here, at least, are almost an antipodal distance from our theo ries. There are, in truth, few neighborhoods in the north where a colored man in any conspicious official position would be much more welcome than he is in the south. Especially would this be true in a small postoffice, the worst of all possible places to put a person who, for any reason, is socially obnoxious. BETTER THAN GOLD. “I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and nervous debility,” writes F. J. Green, of Lan caster, N. H. “No remedy helped lAe until I began using Electric Bitters, which did me more good than all the other medicines I ever used. They have also kept my wife in excellent health for years. She says Electric Bitters are just splendid for Female Troubles ; that they are a grand tonic and invigorator for weak, run down women. No other medicine can take its place in our family.” Try them.

After serving him the shopman asked him if he would buy a bicycle. “What is that? queried the Irishman”. “It’s a machine to ride about the town on.” “And, shure, what might the price of it be?” “Fifteen pounds.” “I’d rather see fifteen pounds in a cow.” “But what a fool you would look riding around the town on the hack of a cow 1” “Shure, now,” replied the Irish man, “not half such a fool as I’d look trying to milk a bicycle!” Worry Almost Unnerved Me —Heart Pains.

Bome Suggestions as to the Proper Care of Lamps. A lady who believes in having her “light to shine” 6ays in a farm pa per: Asa general thing, as much wit goes to the care of lamps as to the boiling of eggs. In the first place, they should receive due attention every day. Leave their large silk or paper shades in the parlor or liv ing room except when it is necessary to take them out of doors to use a fine hairbrush for cleaning the dust from their folds or fiutings. Carry the lamps to the kitchen and set them down upon double folded newspapers. If they have porcelain shades, wipe these as you take them off and set aside with the chimneys. Should they need washing put them into a basin of hot water which you have softened with a little ammonia or borax. Don’t use soap, as it is apt to make them cloudy. This done, turn up the wicks of the lamps and with a bit of stick or a match scrape off the charred edges. Do not cut them unless the wick is very uneven. Remove the rims that sur round the burners and wipe them off with the old flannel or soft cloth you reserve for your lamps. Now fill the lamps, and do it care fully to avoid an overflow. The best plan is to keep a small funnel with the oil can and, inserting the point of the tube in the opening provided for filling in the side of the lamp, pour cautiously until the reservoir is full. The lamps that are made with reservoirs which fit into outer jars are decidedly the easiest to fill. Whatever kind you use, wipe the outside of the reservoirs after you have filled and closed them, that the persistently percolating oil may have no unnecessary encouragement to exude. Be very sure no drops of oil have trickled down upon the outside of the lamps to make their way to the bottom rim or feet and leave a greasy place on the stand or shelf. Give a final rub to the outside of each lamp, replace the rim, chimney and shade. Sometimes it will he necessary to give the lamp a thorough washing in hot water and ammonia. Noth ing but a free use of a powerful al kali will remove the clinging grease. When a lamp burner is clogged and gives a poor light, boil it for an hour in water with a lump of wash ing soda or a little borax. Cooking Squash. Steamed squash will take about three-quarters of an hour if piled in a drainer so the steam can circulate between the pieces and covered tightly. Boiled squash requires one half hour. Whether steamed or boiled, the squash when' it is cooked tender should be pressed through a coarse sieve to remove the strings, then seasoned while it is hot with three-quarters of a teaspoonful of salt, a scant saltspoont’ul of white pepper and a tablespoonful of but ter, well stirred and beaten in. It is best to melt the butter in a nice enameled saucepan, add the salt and pepper to it, then stir in the squash and beat it on the stove for three or four minutes until it becomes steaming hot. It may be kept hot for ten or fifteen minutes if cov ered and protected from scorching on the back of the stove. The Transformed Laundry Table. The colonial laundry table, which can be bought in many of the shops for a trifle over $4, would fail to recognize itself when transformed by clever treatment into a highly prized piece of decorative furniture. The particular one in question is stained to a ost satisfying shade of green. The movable broad table piece is turned backward and forms the high back of this original wide seat. There is a skillfully carved Celtic' border surrounding this, and the seat and sides of the bench part are carved even more elaborately in the same style. Even without the two embossed leather pillows this piece of furniture would cost close to SIOO. Creamed Calf’s Liver. Into a pan put five tablespoonfuls of butter. When it is melted, put into it one pound of calf’s liver cut fine, salt and pepper; brown careful ly and cook for eighteen minutes. Take up the liver and place it on a hot platter. Add one slice of onion to the gravy and let it cook one min ute. Add one tablespoonful of flour and cook, stirring until it begins to froth. Draw the pan back and grad ually add one pint of milk and cook one minute, stirring all the time. Put the liver in the pan with the gravy and stew very slowly five min utes longer. Table Covers. Cretonne table covers match the coverings of bedroom furniture. These are made in the daintiest of ways, and only the best of French cretonnes are used. A border of heavy lace or a knotted fringe in corresponding colors usually is add ed as an edging around the cover.
