JAP WAR HERO IN AMERICA with 1,000 Chinese soldiers aboard, and when surrender was refused, sunk it This act started the war. When the war with Russia broke out he was commanding a Japanese fleet. Ills daughter came to pay him a final visit, and he sent back word y her: “I am well and happy. They must not distract my mind by sending letters ** At an entertainment for the officers of his fleet just before the memora ble battle of the Sea of Japan his officers found the admiral sitting alone, e eword of harl on his knees. They understood this meant victory or death. In Japan Togo ranks as no naval man in the United States ranks today. Thy love him over there next to the emperor. IS A PIONEER IN ECONOMICS In these days when so much is said and done for the conservation of our natural resources there has sprung up a new school of economists who are preaching the doctrine that in labor every effort, every expenditure of muscular or mental energy, should count for the utmost and not go to waste. A pioneer in this school is Frederick Winslow Taylor, who re cently appeared by invitation before a committee of congress to explain how the application of his theories in creases the productiveness of work men from 15 to 20 per cent. Mr. Taylor is a native of German town, Pa., and has risen to his present prominence through his own efforts. He is a patternmaker and machinist by trade and a mechanical engineer by profession. In 1878 he entered the employ of the Midville Steel Com pany, Philadelphia, and was success ively gang boss, assistant foreman. foreman, master mechanic, chief draughtsman and chief engineer. In 1889 he took up the work of organiz ing management in manufacturing establishments, in shop, office, accounting and sales departments, and since then he has put his theories into operation In many business organizations, Including steel works, wood pulp works, etc. He is the owner of about 100 patents on his inventions. POPULAR WITH THE FARMERS there, far up In the north, found alfalfas that seem to need neither moisture nor warmth to develop good pasture. He brought the finest Cuban tobacco, tested and analyzed the soil m which It grew, got detailed reports of the climatic conditions it required and then hunted up the same soil and climate, and proceeded to grow the tobacco in South Carolina. He brought seed of the inimitable Sumatra wrapper-tobacco, searched for a place under the American flag where it would flourish, and found it-in Texas. To prove it he will hand you a five-cent cigar made of Texas Sumatra and Carolina Cuban filler, if you will ask him, and you will pronounce it a high-class imported weed. Everybody said hog cholera was incurable, and it cost the farmers tens nf millions annually. Wilson’s scientists spent ten years on its trail, and they’ve captured the right microbe, fixed up a serum, and put that particular disability on the run. CHOSEN IMPERIAL POTENTATE John Frank Treat, who was elected imperial potentate of the Mystic Shrine at Rochester, is a resident of Fargo, N. D., and a member of El Zagal Temple of the Shrine. From the four corners of the earth, by train, boat and automobile, an army of 30,000 Shriners swooped down and planted their tents on the Rochester oasis. From every part of the United States they came and even from far away Scotland were pilgrims to the cradle of Shrinedom. The Khartoum Temple, from Win nipeg, Man., brought a genuine Scotch kilties band of bagpipers; the Islam Temple of San Francisco had a Chi nese band of 50 pieces; the Los An geles Shriners brought two carloads of California fruits and wines to dis tribute to their eastern friends; the Galveston (Texas) Temple brought two carloads of Mexican burros; Os man Temple of St. Paul had its mil- lionaire band, every member of which Is a business or professional man whose fortune runs into big figures; E) Zagal Temple, from Fargo, N. D., to which the pictured potentate belongs, brought a 15-foot loaf nf bread and a cowbell of the same dimensions, and. In tact every bunch had some novelty to spring. Admiral Togo, the Japanese war hero who came to this country as the nation’s guest, is described by a Jap anese official as one of the simplest and gentlest of men. “You would hardly imagine, to see the small, slender figure, that you were in the presence of the greatest master of naval strategy that our navy has pro duced, or that the world has seen in modern times.” Marshal Oyama, General Kuriki, Ad miral Kamimura, Admiral Yamomoto and Admiral Togo were all born in the city of Kagoshima. Togo had just g?own to youth’s es tate and was fighting with a broad sword when a messenger came from the mikado ordering him to become a naval officer. He packed his few be longings and journeyed to England. When the Chinese-Japanese war was threatening Togo was captain of a cruiser. He halted an English ship The champion long-distance cabinet officer is Secretary of Agriculture “Tama” Jim Wilson, for he has been holding down that job constantly since 1897, while he has seen more than a hundred other cabinet officers come in and retire to private life. “Tama” Jim is the friend of the farm ers and the farmers seem to be friends of his. Secretary Wilson has made the de partment of agriculture the greatest instrumentality of practical every-day helpfulness to 40 per cent, of the peo ple in the United States. He has ex periment stations finding out how to make dry farming pay where there is only ten inches of moisture a year; and they are finding it out, too. He brought the durum wheat from North Africa, and in the regions formerly too dry to be cultivable it has added millions of bushels to our annual wheat crop. He sent to Siberia, and Lovely White Hats .o/li -- 2 ® / wSB- IWW / ( K* JP ¥ 1 ’ r n=n ' -A 7 , ■ w*'. - ■ I / < MM .X' J j .—J-'T ' r zaiS vnv _ I -- ' 4 \\ " • )) THIS is the whitest of white sum mers, and everywhere the pre ponderance of white gowns makes a background against which millinery is displayed to the very best advantage. The greater number of hats are white also, but not entirely. Plume-laden or flower laden, they are adorned with exquis ite colors. Pink, in the coral, sea shell and other delicate tones; blue in the nattier and other grayish tints; lilac, rose, green and cerise, are fa vorites, and, just at the hour, yellow has put in an appearance. In any large gathering of women, out for the summer evening, these colors, in the liveliest of shades are scattered in a sea of white. For the entire cos tume, from shoes to chapeau, of the great majority is colorless, except for the trimmings on the hats. Two very beautiful white hats are pictured here, which Illustrate very clearly the foregoing. The small hat in white hair braid is decorated with a band of gray net on which a pattern in white beads is wrought. The SANDWICHES EASY TO MAKE When a Quantity Is Required, as for a Picnic, Try the Follow- ing Method. The picnic season —hence the sand wich season —is at hand. When quan tities of these unfailing requisites are required, try the following plan and Bee how easily this trying work can be done: Cut the crusts from a loaf of bread with four strokes of a sharp knife —front, back and sides, then cut the crustless loaf in half, butter each half where you cut the loaf, slice piece of bread from each half, put in filling and the slices will exactly fit. Proceed, cutting one slice from each side of loaf. Wrap in waxed paper, and you will have dainty, symmetrical sandwiches when the luncheon basket is opened. Place a napkin around the top of the pineapple, give it a twist, and the stem is removed. Lay pineap ple on a board and with a sharp knife (silver is preferable) cut into slices. Pare each slice as you would an ap ple. DAINTY LITTLE FROCK. Bn" 1 w < Mir* I W I This dainty dress Is of white batiste elaborately trimmed with swiss em broidery and Valenciennes lace. The skirt is plaited; the blouse forms a sort of corslet and the girdle is of ribbon fastened at the side with a cockade and long ends. transparency of the braid and deli cacy of the net are adorable for mid summer wear. Two flat rosettes sim ulate roses full blown and are made of a light weight ribbon in a wonder ful shade of pink. The rosettes are joined by a bridle of ribbon. A rich hat in white hemp is cov ered with a plateau of princess lace which is fastened down with a twist of wide nattier blue ribbon having a highly lustrous surface. Small blown garden roses with foliage and some mossy stems, provide the touch of color here. Nearly half the plateau of lace is folded both from the left side and tacked to the crown, leav ing the hemp braid uncovered. Scarfs of white down and down with ostrich border finish the mid summer toilette, providing more warmth than one would Imagine. In fact, they are quite equal to protect ing the throat, even when their wear ers are out until the “wee sma’ hours,’’ which are the coldest of the twenty four. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. BROWN SAILOR HATS LIKED Have Achieved a Popularity Almost as Great as Has Come to the Black. Almost as popular as the black sail or hat is the one of brown straw, oi its close kin, that of burnt straw. It is especially well liked for wear with the popular brown linen suit —for brown seems to be having quite a vogue this season. Newest, of course, are the small sail or with the large head size, the small or medium sized brim and the rather high crown. These are somewhat try ing to many types of women, but look exceedingly well on the girls who are “tailorish” enough to don them. On the black and dark brown hats white bands are the most approved and fashionable style, while the burnt straw hats are encircled by bands of darker brown. And the smartest hats, of course, are those of the extreme straws— either very rough or quite smooth and fine. Changeable Taffeta Garments. Not many are yet seen, but they are expected to have a great run a' little later on. One reason why they are not yet more in evidence Is un doubtedly because of the price of the French chiffon qualities of which they are made. From $2.50 to $3.50 pel yard is asked in the retail shops sot these new taffetas. By another sea son domestic manufacturers will have popular-priced lines, but if one desires an exclusive silk gown for the present summer she should invest in 0^ oi changeable chiffon taffeta. Striped Coat Set. Fine muslin, chiffon cloth, and mar quisette are all used to make collar and cuff sets for short jackets. These, with eyelet embroidered batiste, have taken the place of Irish lace, which seems at a discount these days. The striped coat sets are in any color that one wishes, not necessarily to match the suit. The collar is quite long, deep at the back, and finished with an edge of cluny lace or a hem of colored muslin or linen to match the stripe. i Os Fascinating Quaintness. Frock of white cachemire de wte with peachblow satin stripes. Thr simply designed bodice has a finel: plaited fichu drapery of Malines lace, finished at the top of the wide aprl cot velvet girdle by a rose of pale pink chiffon. The slightly gathered skirt is quaintly trimmed with three narrow ruches of white taffeia.— - Vogue. WASTE OF WAR By Rev. Samuel M. Dick Pastor of Wesley M. E. Church, Minneapolis TEXT.—And he will judge between the nations and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords Into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.—lsaiah 2:4. This prophecy is beginning to reach its fulfillment. When the awful cost in life and treasure is reckoned with, it is astonishing that sensible civil ized men should ever resort to war to settle any question. There is an other reason apart from its destruc tive character why war should not be resorted to. It never settles any question. The best it can do is to restate it and put it in another form. Take for illustration the Civil war in this country. Did it settle ti.e race question? Did it settle the slavery problem? Not by any means, but if the amount of money that war cost us during its progress and for pen sions since, had been expended among the colored people of this nation for industrial education and other civil izing agencies that race' today would have been further advanced in the scale of progressive peoples than it will 500 years from today under the present circumstances. Christ's kingdom does not come by the sword. It is within you. The patriotism of war rules the world with the sword. The patriotism of peace rules the world with an idea. The one is spectacular and wins instanta neous applause; the other is quiet, moves unseen and its marks are seen only in generations. One is like a derrick, it moves the mass of iron by force applied in one place; other is like a sunbeam, it moves the mass of iron by the unseen ep pansion of its molecules. The maintenance of peace by pre paredness for war is out of harmony with the 'gospel, with reason, with ethics, with economics and with com mon sense, and any institution that is out of harmony with all these things should be discontinued. The prophet says the nations shall not only settle down to the great Industries of peace but that they shall not learn war any more. As long as peace is main tained by overwhelming navies the nations are learning war and the prog ress of the world is checked. Given national jealousy, hatred, prepared ness for war and any trifle is suffi cient to produce war. Given national fraternity, great prosperity on the part of the people and no armament and no problem is sufficiently grave to produce war. The logic of preserving peace by increasing the navies of the world would finally leave the world power in the hands of one nation. It would only be a matter of time when all nations but one would become bank rupt. The foolishness of increasing arma ment is seen in the experience of our own peaceful republic. For the eight years preceding the Spanish war, our appropriations for the army were a little less than $24*000,000 per annum, and for the navy a little over $27,000,- 000 per annum. For the eight years preceding 1911 the appropriations for the army sprang to $83,000,000 per an num, and for the navy to more than $102,000,000. We are now spending for army, navy and pensions the enor mous sum of $470,000,000, or 72 per cent, of the entire revenue of the United States. If this increase alone in the army and navy were turned toward the industries which make a nation rich and happy, it would en able and maintain an industrial and agricultural experiment station in every county in the United States and give it more than $50,000 per annum for its work. What would this mean to the people? Last year our farm products of all kinds were valued at more than $4,700,000,000. With an experiment station conducted as Min nesota is conducting her work among the farmers in every county, with $50,000 per annum to operate it, the agricultural products of this country could easily be doubled, and with its doubling every other industry would keep pace. As it is now, we are spending at least $125,000,000 annual ly on our army and navy more than is necessary for reasonable na tional policing, and thereby losing annually more than $4,000,000,000 which we might have if we followed the law of gospel and common sense and used the amount of money to de velop the resources of the country that we are now fooling away on war measures and getting absolutely nothing for it. How long, oh how long, will this wickedness and nonsense continue? Abiding in Christ. Abiding in Jesus is nothing but the giving up of one’s self to be ruled and taught and led, and so resting in the arms of everlasting love. Blessed rest! The fruit and the foretaste and the fellowship of God’s own rest! found of them who thus come to Jesus to abide in him. It Is the peace of God, the great calm of the eternal world, that passeth all understanding, that keeps the heart and mind. With this grace secured, we have strength for every duty, courage for every struggle, a blessing in every cross, and the joy of life eternal in death it self. —Rev. Andrew Murray. Every pew in a crowded church has somebody in it who might become a power for the Lord, if he would only do what he could. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

Pinknam’s Vegetable Compound Morton’s Gap, Kentucky.—“l suf fered two years with female disorders. my health was very bad and I had a continual backache which was simply awful. I could not stand on my feet long enough to cook a meal’s victuals without my back nearly killing me, and I would have such dragging sen sations I could hardly bear it. I had soreness in each side, could not stand tight clothing, and was irregular. I was completely run down. On ad vice I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound and Liver Pills and am enjoying good health. It is now more than two years and I have not had an ache or pain since Ido all my own work, washing and everything, and never have the backache any more. I think your medicine is grana and I praise it to all my neighbors. If you think my testimony will help others you may publish it.”—Mrs. Ollik Woodall, Morton’s Gap, Kentucky.
