The above liberal offer is made to ad-
vertise the old reliable Diamond Dyes
and to get their book upon home dyeing
into the homes OF women who want to
dress we'll by making their old clothen
look like new.
In some towns dealers sell limitations
OF Diamond Dyes because they can
make more profit on these weak, adul-
terated substitutes. Some of these dyes
claim to color both cotton and wool
with the same package, but this is an
I'm possibility, as the user soon finds
when she has tried to color cotton with
o dye that Ia not especially made for
that purpose. Diamond Dyes have dit
fe-ent dyes for cotton from those that
are ueed for wool, and are the only
package dyes on the market that can
be relied upon to give colors that will
not fade or crock. The fact that Dla-
mond Dyes have been the standard
home dyes for nearly twenty years, and
that their sale increases from year to
year, Is proof positive that thew have
never had an equal.

THE admirable thing about Great Britain is that she always looks out for British interests and British sub jects wherever they may be about the world. What patriotic Americans want is an American administration which will have the right kind of ad- miration for Great Brtain-that admiration which will emulate Great Britain's policy. but for the benefit of America aud Americans; not to play second fiddle to British interests.

Cambridge, Mass, Dee. 4.-The position
that Harvard has taken relative to the
proposed race between Harvard, Yale,
Cornell. Columbia. and Pennsylvania at
Poughkeepsie win not be known until after
the next meeting OF the athletic committee,

considered by the members individually.
Several attempts were made TO get them

uil refused TO express an opinion or the
iueritS or dement's OF he propusition.
Some have the idea that Harvard will in
terpOse an objection To Yale as one or the
contestants in such n race. but those who
should know the most about the matter
clam that no such objection Will be made.
In case this race does take place Harvard
will have fulfilled her agreement with
Cornell. II the proposition Iails through
Harvard and Cornell Will have their race
as per contract.
Individually, many Harvard graduates
have expressed themselves as favorable
to a five-corncrcd race. That Professor

invited the same as the other colleges. see
no reason WHY sle should not be asked.
Harvard's policy is not to exclude Yale
