NEGROES ASK
EQUAL CHANCE
Business League Enters a
Plea for the "0pen Door
of Opportunity"
RECITE PROGRESS OF RACE
Call on More Fortunate Fellow Citi-
zens to Extend Helpful Sympathy
to Black Men in Effort to Better
Their Condition.

Indianapolis, Ind, dispatch: plea
for the open door OF opportunity
was made just before the close of the
convention of the National Negro
Business league. which closed its an
nual session here Friday.
A series OF resolutions was adopted.
After reciting the progress the race
has made In recent years, the reso-
luton continues:
We may reasonably be encouraged
in the good work We are doing, and
TO appeal TO our more favored and
fortunate fellow citizens for helpful
sympathy and for the open door of
opportunity without which, as mer-
chant as skilled artisan, as manual
labOrer, our efforts will be difficult be-
yond the measure OF other men, If not
impossible OF ultimate success.
Right to Labor "Dlvine."
"The right TO labor is the right di-
vine. Our right to live is wrapped
up In it. and is assured to US by the
law of God and by the law of man.
The public opinion or the private rule
which infringes that right not only
menaces our success as business men
but throws back upon us a volume of
poverty and crime with which we
cannot singlehanded cope, and which
rests upon the character and tone
OF the communities in which we re.
side.
we have our pauper and criminal
classes, but we would have the pub
lie charity and the legal processes of
the law and public opinion deal with
them as other race elements OF the
national population are dealt with.
Wish to Be Judged by Deeds.
I'VE have sensibilities and desires
like other men; we have virtues and
vices like other men. We ask that
we be judged in public opinion and
IN law as other men are judged. AS
business men we believe In the su
premacy OF the law as the surest safe
guard OF healthy business develop
ment and effective industrial effort.
The resolution cites the fact that
the balance OF trade OF tho United
States is largely due to the exports OF
cotton and cotton goods. and that
much OF the labor on this is coloreC
labor. Il says:
Law Should Protect.
Negroes should enjoy the fullest
protection of the law, while, on the
other hand. the criminal element
/ i.tovld no dealt with rfOfd1v and fun
partially"

temperature to the keeping property
OF milk, at the Connecticut Storrs
station, the bacteria In milk mutt
piled fivefold in twenty.four hours
when the temperature was so degrees
f., and $50 fold In the same time
when the temperature was 20 degrees.
Milk kept at 80 curdled In eighte en-
hours. at 20 in forty-eight hours. and
at so In las hours. So far as the keep
ing property OF milk Is concerned, low
temperature is considered OF more
importance than cleanliness.
In milk kept at 95 the species de-
veloping most rapidly Is the undesir-
able one known as Bacillus lactis aero
genes.
At temperature of 20 this species
| develops relatively less rapidly in the
majority of cases than Bacillus lactis
| acidi, which latter Is very desirable
in both cream and cheese ripening.
The bacteria in milk kept at 80 In
crease slowly, and later consist OF
very few Tactic organisms. but OF mis-
cellaneous types, including many
forms that render the milk unwhole-
some.
These bacteria continue TO grow
slowly day after day, but the milk
keeps sweet because the Tactic organ
isms do not develop abundantly.
Such milk in the course OF time
becomes far more unwholesome than
sour milk, since IL is filed with organ
isms that tend to produce putrefac-
ton.
Although the temperature OF SO de-
| grees is TO be emphatically recon.
mended to the dairyman for the pur'
pose OF keeping his milk sweet and In
proper condition for market, he must
especially be on his guard against the
feeling that milk which is several
days old is proper for market, even
though 1t is still sweet and has not
curdled.
Quite the reverse Is the case. Ole
milk is never wholesome, even though
It has been kept at a temperature o
80 degrees and still remains sweet ant
uncurdled.
This very considerably modife'
some OF our previous ideas concerning
milk, for it has been generally he
lieyed that, SO long as the milk re
mains sweet, it is in good condition
for use. Quite the contrary in thi'
case, IL II has been kept at tempera
ture of so degrees or in this vicinity
1t is not unlikely that it is thi
fact that leads to some of the cases o
ice cream poisoning so common h
summer.
The cream Is kept at low tempera
ture for several days until a consid
erable quantity has accumulated or
demand has come for ice cream, and
when made into ice cream, it is fille'
with bacteria in great numbers an'
OF a suspicious character.-Prof. II. w

Every housekeeper should know
that II they will buy Defiance Cold

will save not only time. because II
never sticks 10 the iron. but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full

cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem

a stock on hand which he wishes to

He knows THAI Defiance Starch has

New Zealand and Dairy Exports.

New Zealand and Dairy Exports.
The general public does not. per
haps. realize how large a place New
Zealand Is filling In the production Of
butter and cheese for consumption In
England. New Zealand is as yet but
a thinly populated country, and the
annual receipts or several million dol
lars for butter and cheese sold in the
English market Is a considerable item.
The trade has largely been built up
during tho last ten years. IL now
amounts 20 about seven million dol.
lars for butter and n million for
cheese. For the year ending March.
1895, New Zealand exported butter 90
tho value Of 263.244 pounds and cheese
TO the value OF f60,3S3 pounds. A
pound Is equal TO sis6 in our money.
by 1900 tho exports OF butter from
New Zealand were worth 693.70
pounds and of cheese 20S.25S pounds.
The development has been very
steady. showing the healthy condi-
ton OF the trade and the gradual In.
crease In the cow population OF New
Zealand. For the year ending March,
1904. the exports OF butter were worth
~ .44o.2s7 pounds and Of cheese 2i7.a4a
pounds

To the housewife who has not vet
become acquainted with the new things
OF everyday use in the market and
who Is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that trial or
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
ut once. Not alone because IL Is guar
nnteed by the manufacturers TO be SUI
perior 20 any other brand. but because
each 1Oc package contains 10 ozs..
while all the other kinds contain but
IL ozs. II is safe 10 say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch Will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.

When Salt Appears in Butter.

In the summer time II Is quite com
mon TO see butter with salt standing
on II. Agricultural papers frequently
receive letters asking why the salt
comes out on the butter. The explana-
tion is simple and the butter can be
easily kept in a normal condition. The
salt comes out of the butter simply
because the butter is kept in a dry
atmosphere. This causes the mois.
tIre in the butter to move toward
the surface of the butter and evapor-
ate into the air. AS IL was salt water
in the butter II is salt water when 1t
gets TO the surface OF the butter.
But In eyaporating il cannot take the
salt with II, but has TO leave II. AT
first the amount OF salt deposited is
so small that the residue of salt is
not noticed. Later, however, the ac'
cumulations become so large that they
are apparent TO the eye. IL the but
ter were weighed before the evapora
tion and afterward II would be found
that tho loss OF weight had been con
siderable. Keeping the butter in a
moist place will prevent the accumu
lation OF salt. II the place where the
butter Is stored is opened several
times n day It will be advisable tc
keep crock of water in II, that the
evaporation may regulate itself. But
where butter Is stored in cool place
that is not often opened there VIII be
little trouble from this cause. The
lower the temperature the less the
evaporation. Places where the tenn
perature IS high and ventilation good
dry out the butter quickly and leave II
covered with salt.
