Temperance Notes.

A notable event in the temper.
ance cause was the Inter national
Anti Alcohol Congress which has
just concluded it's ninth session
in the city of Bremen, Germany.
This was remarkable body, in
that it was composed of scientists
and men noted in the service of
humanity, from fifteen different
nations on two continents, num-
boring I, 400de]egates. Thatsuch
a congress has convened for the
seventh time shows the impor-
tant consideration which this
grave question has won from the
learned heads of the world. And
still more significant is the fact
that the sixth assembly of this
congress was the first to exclude
all alcoholic liquors, even the
mildest wines, from its banquet,
and recon mended to the next,
the seventh congress, that its
name be changed las it was) from
''The Congress Against the
Abuse of Alcohol" to that of
can't Alcoholic Congress This
fact is the more significant be-
cause the body is composed of
two schools of thought, the mod
crates and who call themselves
the temperate school, and the
total abstainers, who are known
as the abstinence school,.
The United States was ably
represented by Mrs. Mary Hunt,
of Boston, whose presentation of
scientific temperance education
in the public schools" Of Ameri-
ca called out discussion in which
twenty speakers took part, near
ly every one of them endorsing
the American method for the
prevention of intemperance.
These are some quotations from
the report. In compliment to
the United States Mrs. Hunt
presided at Saturdays session
of the congress.

MAY SOON TREAT
WITH PANAMA

Washington. November S.-Yester-
days advices to the State Department
indicated q regular development of the
new government of Panama.
The most important announcement
Indicative of speedy establishment OF
full diplomatic relations with the new
republic was the appointment of Phil
ippe Bunau-Varilla as the agent OF
Panama In the United States.
With him the United States govern
ment will transact any necessary busi-
ness In an unofficial way pending the
appointment of regular ministers plen-
ipotentiary. He is In Washington.
Reports have reached Paris that Co
lombia is sending large army over
land to capture Panama and Colon.
The State Department has decided
that SO far as Y is concerned it regards
the treaties that govern Colombia. or
as to New Granada, as still in force.
and that therefore all of the conces-
sions. including that of the Panama
Canal Company. are valid and in force
The State Department also has de-
cided that owing to the fact that the
Spooner canal act in terms required the
United States government, before be-
ginning the canal. to conclude treaty
with Colombia. the spirit OF the act
will be met by the conclusion OF an ar
rangement with the new state OF Pan
anna on the lines of the Spooner act
and it will proceed to this end.

What happy days are those when all
our friends say, How well you look"
We can bring those days by a little
care in the selection of food Just ~
this young man did.
II had suffered from dyspepsia for
three years and last summer was so
bad was unable to attend school, he
says: Il was very thin and my appe-
tite at times was poor, whila again it
was craving. was dizzy and my
food always used to ferment instead
of digesting. Crossness, unhappiness
and nervousness were very prominent
symptoms.
Late in the summer went to visit
4 sister and there l saw and used
GIaps-Nuts. I had heard Of this ia
nous food before, but never was In
terested enough to try 1t, for never
knew how really good 1t was. But
when I came home we used Grape
Nuts In our household all the time and
I soon began to note changes in my
health. l improved steadily and am
now strong and we'll in every way
and am back at school able to get
my lessons with ease and pleasure
and can remember them too, for the
improvement in my mental power il
very noticeable and l get good marks
in my studies which always seemed
difficult before.
II lave no more of the bad symp-
toms given above but feel fine and
strong and happy. and it is mighty
pleasant to hear my friends say:

GERMAN EMPEROR
IS OPERATED ON

Berlin, Nov. 8.-Emperor William
yesterday underwent an operation for
the removal of a polypus from his lar
ynx. The operation was performed by
Professor Morris Schmidt and was en-
tirely successful. The only inconveni-
ence suffered by his majesty is that
he has been enjoined not to speak until
the wound caused by the operation
should be healed. The bulletins an
lnouncing the result Of the operation
caused much excitement. even among
court ohicials. who had no suspicion
that his majesty was suffering from
any affection Of the throat.
The emperor himself appears not to
have known of the growth in his lar
ynx until few days ago, and to have
suffered no discomfort from 1t.
The following Is an authorized ac-
count Of the operation as given to the
North German Gazette:
His majesty to-day underwent an
operation for the removal Of polypus
from his larynx. The operation was
performed by Professor Moritz Schmidt
and was most successful. His majesty
Ia only enjoined not to speak until the
wound caused by the operation is
healed"
Grave fears are entertained outside
the castle. 1t IL recalled that Emperor
Frederick William ILL.,, father OF EN-
peror William II. the present monarch.

ailment-or at least 1t was SO dag
nosed. Within a few months after. he

ing mistaken the disease and given the

about twenty-five per cent. OF the

work under protection. The southern
operators have engaged about 150
guards and are hiring others as fast
NJ they can find men. Most OF the
guards employed are cowboys who are
glad to earn IS day.

Denver, Nov. 9.-The News sums up
the strike situation this morning as
follows: -
With the exception of a few indie
pendent mines there will be a general
strike in the northern coal fields this
morning. This was the almost unani-
nous decision of the miners of the
northern district on the referendum
vote on the schedule submitted by the
operators. The miners Of the Northern

operators have promised to give their
men eight hours. These mines will

Rockville mine has decided to shut

of greater magnitude than was expect

district to work the mines at Primero
to-day. At Gray Greek all but one
have quit. At Starkville every man is
out.

The band should be made to wrap

making the ends mitred. To these
are added narrow beading with
ribbon run through, and to which a
frill of lace is sewn. (See illustration
Another pretty style is to procure
the narrow lace beading, which is OBJ
tainable with several rows to the
strip. Cut the strips the depth of the
frill and join them all together. Then
run ribbons through, finishing the
lower edge with loops.
So many pretty suitable patterns of
muslin lace and insertion may be pur-
chased ready for use that this part of
the work may be lessened if desired.
