NO MIXED BLOOD ALLOWED.
Grand Lodge I. o. o. F. RepeaIs an
 Amendment to the Constitution.

Des Moines, la, September 19.-The sovereign grand lodge l. o. o. F. to- day, by vote of 146 to 36, repealed the amendment to the constitution adopted at Indianapolis in 1901 admit ting members of mixed Indian and white blood. The debate was spirited and the amendment was supported in vigorous manner by the Indian ter ritory delegates, who originally se- cured its adoption on the ground that many men of high character have h. dian blood in their veins. The dele gates who opposed the amendment, es. pecially those from the southern juris. diction, expressed the fear that if adopted it would prove the opening wedge which might eventually result in admitting the negroes to member ship.
 R. M Shanks of Manitoba, official reporter for the session, furnished the following statement as all that would be made public regarding the insur- ance controversy:
 "The matter of the difference be- tween Grand Sire Cable and Past Grand Sire Pinkerton, arising out of correspondence on the subject of in. surance, was adjusted to the satisfac- tion of the said brothers and the soy. ereign grand lodge."

A TRUE SAYING. Most Men Dig Their Graves With Their Teeth.n

The wrong kind of food fills more graves than any other cause. It is easy to retain good health by the use of proper food and 1t is pleasant too. The Rev. G. M. Lodge of Iowa City, Iowa, made a successful experiment..
 q am 65 years old and a preacher. Last winter I went to Kansas and had charge of two churches. A little use of Grape-Nuts food made me believe it to be true brain and nerve builder; wanted to experiment further with it so 1 used Grape-Nuts for breakfast and sup per for more than three months with the best results. l not only never had better health in my life but the effect on my brain was wonderful I had become for getful of names and persons and things was often unable to recall even the names of old friends.
 After using Grape-Nuts for two weeks forgotten names came to me and as the days and weeks passed my memory was wonderfully quickened as to names and dates, and mental ability in general I could preach without manuscript or notes as never before and in a month or less said to myself, Grape Nuts Is a brain food and as such now recommend it. It also gives health and blood. nerve and muscle. Cheerfully and earnestly advise students, clergymen. teachers and all mental workers to use Grape Nuts steadily and systematically if you wish to excel In mental and literary work renew your age and feel well. It is the best nerve and brain food l have ever known"

ADJUSTMENTS.
"A strar eer In New YcrIe."


 In reviewing the performance given by the company which is to appear at the Jefferson theatre the first two days of next week, the Richmond, Va, Times said:
 Take a bevy of pretty and graceful girls in costumes that appeal to the eye, whimsically funny comedian with sev- eral grotesque associates, a figure part with a figure to fit it, and sweet voice in dainty soubret, a farce that is act ually funny, and music that jingles and ripples like a cascade of waltz, rag time and march time, and costumes and setting in keeping with the whole, and there you have "A Stranger in New York as It was presented at the Academy last night.
 Two performances were given, but the attendance at the matinee was light, while the night audience overfiowed. There is an indefinable charm about a Hoyt farce that seems to make it ever green. This quality was not missing in the production last night, and the audience went into cackles of delight almost from the start to the finish. But the produc- llOu uoeS uol rest US cldlli lO dttSHlloIi solely on account of the fame of Charles Hoyt. The farce is interspersed with a number of delightful musical numbers which have the saving grace of novelty. and the company is particularly strong vocally. Its ensemble work is really ex- cellent. The farce was interpreted with much dash and spirit, and the produo- tion, both as to costumes and scenery, was found adequate at every point.

BAPTIST WOMEN GIVE 3
 MILLIONS FOR CHARITIES

"A 2 0MEN from the commencement ~ of Christianity. have. as class, HW been the most earnest workers for the honor of Christ. and the sa1va- ton of sinners. They are not so easily discouraged as men. and they hold on with more tenacity As they were the last at the cross and the first at the tomb of our Lord and the first to pro- claim his resurrection from the dead so have they been the most persistent workers at all times writes George D. Bremen in the Southern and Alabama Baptist
 But the work to which this report is meant to address itself Is that which pertains to their special organized work as Missionary Aid societies
 The first woman's missionary organi- zation of which we know. was formed about 1s0o by some Baptist and Congre- gational ladies of New England. Miss Mary Webb. a Baptist lady. was secre- tary and treasurer. Two years later, the Baptist ladies organized themselves Into a Home Mission society, for local work in their section. In 1861, during the war be- tween the states, an inter-denominational "Woman's Missionary Union" was form ed in New York, to work in the interest of heather women. In 1867, this branched out into denominational lines.
 In 1871 some Baptist women of the north organized a "Woman's Foreign Missionary society,". They have been at work ever since. For the year 1900 the last report at hand, they contributed s1OO,O4s.32 and expended s1O2995.1O. They employed. during the year. 69 mission aries and IA Bible women. They had 3s9 schools. 14.7S7 pupils. There were sos baptisms The president is Miss Sarah c. Durfree Providence, R. l., and the clerk is Mrs. George w. Dean, Fall River, Mass
 The "Womans Foreign Missionary So- ciety of the West" was organized a month later, in 1871, Tor similar work. Their receipts for 1900, latest report at hand, was S54241.s5. and expenditures s57.- o4S.s9. Their summary Of work for the year is IT schools, 5SS7 pupils, 159 teach CTS, 94 Bible women, ? hospitals. medi- cal dispensaries, 20 medical students, helpers and 9S7 baptisms. The president is Mrs. John Edwin Scott, Evanston, H., and advisory secretary Mrs. A. M. Bacon, Chicago.
 The mother of our veteran missionary in China, Dr. N. H. Graves was active in movement begun in 1875 by some sisters in Baltimore, Richmond, Georgia, and a few elsewhere, in organizing socie- ties to aid in missions, and they were styled "Woman's Mission to Women" Their aim was to aid in foreign missions, and especially in China.
 Among our northern sisters was or ganized in 1877 the "Woman's Baptist Home Mission society" They labor to supply destitutions in the United States and contiguous countries Their re-

ceipts in 1900 last report at haid, was Sos, 978.74 and expenditures S72s870.74. They employed for the whole or part time 159 missionaries. whose labors were prose euted from f03 different stations scatter ed over thirty-four states and territories in the United States in three state of Mexico and in Cuba and Porto Rico. The president is Mrs. J. N. Grouse, Chicago, H., and the recording secretary is Mrs N. E. Walmsley. Brooklyn. N. Y.
 In November 1877, among the Baptist women of the northeast, there was or ganized "Woman's American Baptist Home Mission society,"" In their report for 1900 they show funds received ss2 4s4.3s, for their general work, and for the Alaska Orphanage $6.4774 43 Making total of S3s,s6l.s1. The president is Mrs. Alice B. Coleman, Boston, Mass, and the corresponding secretary is Mrs. M c. Reynolds, 510 Fremont Temple, Boston, Mass.
 All these societies manage their own affairs, appointing their own missiona- ries, paying their salaries, receiving the reports from missionaries. etc.
 In 1888 the Woman's Missionary Union. auxiliary to the Southern Baptist con- vention, was formed at Richmond, Va. and was entered into by sisters from ten different states. They do not carry on their work independently, bat operate through the boards of the Southern Bap- tist convention. In three years. that is in 1S90 at the convention held at Fort Worth, Tex, all the fourteen states of the convention were represented in the meeting of the 'Union,' held in connee- tion with the convention. At this meeting Alabama was represented for the first time, and became a part of the union. The president is Mrs. c. A. Stakely of Montgomery, Ala, and the corresponding secretary is Miss Minnie W. Armstrong, Baltimore, Md.
 Last year these societies aided in the work of the convention by contributing to the Sunday school board in cash $478 ST and in boxes sent to Sunday school mis- sionaries SsS94 0S; to the home mission board in cash $19, ,510. IS, and in boxes to it's missionaries $24, 459. .47, and to the foreign board in cash $S4,7S7.17. making an ag- gregate of Ss,1SOO7, or about one-third of the amount the societies in Alabama gave, ss655 In these societies there is not perhaps, one-thirtieth part of the membership of the churches, and that the part that handles but a small part of the income of the whole.
 During the thirteen years of their existence they have given to the general work of the convention $S52, 236 .OS. Besides these contributions, they have given for church building, repairs and charities at home, more, perhaps, than three times as much as the boards. If this estimate is right, these few women. thus banded together and contributing by littles but regularly, have in thirteen years given about $S,5O0,0OO. What a lesson in regular small gifts

Sioux City, Iowa, September 19.-At the meeting of the Missouri Valley Is sdical association, Dr. R. c. Moore of Omaha made an attack on the theory that eli matic changes are of benefit to con sumptives. Not only did he maintain that the superior climatic advantages of the southwestern states was a fiction, but he contended and supported his conten- tion with statistics, that there was great CT danger from the disease in these states because of the danger of infection.
 He advocated the sanitarium treatment He declared plenty of fresh air, plenty tc eat and a plentiful diet of the product ot the COW are some of the incidentals that will work for the cure of the consump- tive.

ance given by Murray and Mack. u is does not take much trouble to follow it. In fact, like most plays of a similar na- ture the plot will probably take a rest most of the time while the comedians are exploiting their humor or the chorus is indulging in music. The play was con- structed for laughing purposes. and if it succeeds in accomplishing that pur- pose it has done all that the promoters of the enterprise desire. Judging by past experiences the entertainment offered should be successful in provoking mirth, as Murray and Mack have always had a large and expensive company and have always succeeded in tneIr mission as laugh producers.
