A REAUTYs ADVICE.
The Prettfest woman In Havana
Tells a Secret.

Silvia Alfonso, the most beautiful
woman of Havana and pretty enough
to claim the title perhaps as the most
beautiful in the world. is in New York
city. She was declared the prize beau
" of her city by public order. receiving
$4,000 votes in the Figaro contest.
Senorita Alfonso is petite. Of olive
complexion under rosy tinge OF
health Her hair is golden brown. and
her eyes flash danger signals to flip
pant male moths. She told the New
York Evening Journal i'm her own
words how girls can become prettiest
i'm their towns.
cit Is very easy to be the most beau
tiful woman in your town. If you want
To be considered the most beautiful wo-
man. then be so that every one must be
fond OF you. You may be-yes-plain.
You need not be beautiful Do you see.
! have not beauty. y hundred girls in
Havana they have much more beauty
than |. hut vet / get 5000 more votes in
Figaro than any OF them. That was alb
surd.
1T was this: have some sympathy.
/ have some people who are fond of me.
and they buy thousands of copies OF FL
CARO- and cut the coupons and write in
my name. That is it. When people are
fond of you and you have them Sympa-
thetic. they will call you beautiful
How many people does your heart
call beautiful who are not that at all?
Well. so it is with me. What do Cuban
men most admireg Oh, well. | think
they most admire beautiful throat. A
woman with Il slim throat, not short. is
beautiful in Cuba. Every one there has
great eyes. What are great eyes that
everybody has? 1t would be very nice
TO be beautiful. but | would rather
have delightful laugh. l
There is the story of how / came to
win the contest. 1t was because Jose
phlna Fernandina could not be award
ed the prize two times. After all no
Cuban girl is so beautiful as her name.

that is. Ii was the name that Figaro
meant. but nobody knows that but me.

BOOK ON GAME LAWS.
Agricultural Department to Issue n
National Work.


National Work
The agricultural department is pre-
pairing TO issue Il publication giving a
digest of the game laws of the country,
says a Washington dispatch TO the New
York World. Especial attention is Civ
en- TO state laws for game protection
enacted in 1901. The authors say:
The opening of the new century has
witnessed an Unprecedented interest in
game protection. nearly four-fifths of
the states and territories having enact
ed some amendments to their game
laws. In all the northern states. from
the Alleghanies to the Pacific. with the
exception of Ohio. Idaho and Oregon.
nonresident hunters must now secure
licenses at a cost of $40 to $40"
\ hopeful sign of the times. ii is said,
is the general recognition OF the princl-
pie that game preservation is nation
al rather than local question. and or
ganiZed effort has accomplished more
this year than ever before.
The American Ornithologists' union,
interested especially in the preserva-
ton of nongame birds, has secured the
enactment of n practically uniform law
in eight states and the District of Co
lumbia and incidentally the adoption of
a uniform definition of game birds.

CONSTITUTIONAL FIGHT ON.
The Campaign In Alabama Opened
With Vigor.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. Oct 1.-The cam
paign in connection with the ratification
of Alabama's new constitution has open
ed with vigcr. The election which is to
determine whether or not the new organic
law is to be accepted by the people is set
for November II. and from now until that
day an active light for and against rati-
hcatiou viii be wsged.
Singular at II may seem, the conflict
will be between Democrats The negroes
at a State convention held here during
the last week determined to keep out
and make their fight before the Supreme
Court of the United States after the con-
stitu-ion is ratified, il it is ratified. They
decided that 1t would be useless for them
! to 80 TO the polls and vote against the
/ constitution, as their votes would not be
counted. so they appointed a committee
to look after the matter of collecting
funds wIth which to prosecute a test case
Of the suffrage clause before the highest
judicial tribunal In the land
II was also decided by the negroes that
| If the Supreme Court upholds the grand
| father clause" and other Objectionable
features of the new constitution, they
vii. take steps to leave the State. This
latter proposition was seriously discussed
at the negro convention, and that. too,
by the abIest men Of the negro race in
Alabama 1t was suggested that the ne
groes could migrate TO Cuba, or Porto
Rico, or the Philippines. or they might
moe to the far Vest. and take up some
unsettled lands, forming a colony for
themselves. Meanwhile, however, they
will keep hands off at the election
The negro convention took pains to
make the fact known that the negroes
were not acting as Republicans, but as
colored citizens. The convention ex-
PR ssed its lack of confide nee in those
Democrats who are opposing ratification
and likewise denounced the white Repub-
icans who are alleged to be engaged in
trying to build up n white Republican
party in the South by secretly aiding or
abetting the overthrow of the negro.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. I.-There was
much discussion today over the report to
the effect that counsel has been secured
by the Negro Educational and Industrial
Association to contest before the United
States Supreme Court any suffrage plan
that is considered unjust to the negro
race.
1t was a matter OF some surprise that
the movement had progressed so far as
to have engaged able counsel and pre-
pared the way to bring the matter to a
test just as soon as a case could be made

My husband has been unable to drink
coffee for several ye.Ts, so we were very
glad to give Postum Food Coffee trial
and when we understood that by long
boiling it would bring out the delicious
flavor, we have been highly pleased
with 1t.
1T is one Of the finest things for nursing
mothers that / have ever seen 1t keeps
up the mothers strength and increases

meals instead Of water and found it most
beneficial.
our fve-year-old boy has been very
delicate since birth and has developed
slowly. He was white and bluodltss. /
began to give him Postum freely and you
would be surprised at the change. When
any person remarks about the great i'm
prOvcment. we never fail To tell them
that we attribute his gain in strength and
general health to the free use Of Postum
Food Coffee. and this has led many
friends to use 1t for themselves and chill

Il have always cautiored friends To
whom | have spoken about Postum, TO
follow directions in making it, for unless
