DRINK TEA EVERY DAY AND KEEP THE DOCTOR AWAY.

Of course we mean that you should drink the nice-tasting kind (the quality we sell will dol Now you must not think because you pay DUG or 60c to the other fellow for tea anu it's not what you like, you Will get the same kind at our store; that a mistake because we pay strict atten- ton to quality when we buy Re member we do all our own buying and we are just egotistical enough to say we know how to buy and snow what quality is the best. We do not trust anyone to select our goods. we do that ourselves. And we know no" to do 1t. If you doubt us, just pur- chase the kind we sell and compare it with what the other fellow sells. we will then accept your verdict.

new to TRANSFORMS One into . Pretty
China Cabinet.
An ingenious woman recently dis
covered new use for her grandmoth'
er's old corner whatnot that had stood
in a corner of the. attic for many
moons, and possessors Of similar obso-
lete pieces Of furniture may be inter
ested to know how she transformed 1t
into a pretty china cabinet. She first
gave it a bath and good scrubbing
with hot water and soda. This process
removed most of the paint, and what
remained on was sandpapered to facil-
itate it's removal. After it was thor.
oughly dry couple of coats OF White
enamel paint were applied and all the
little knobs silvered. Tiny silver hooks
were screwed in the under side Of the
shelves for cups. A plate rail was add
ed at a small cost before the cabinet
was painted. This china stand occu-
pies a corner of the dining room in the
owners country house. and it's absence
of color serves admirably to set off the
delicate ware displayed on it.
A white china cabinet does not ap'
peal to all tastes nor harmonic with
all dining room furnishings. but II
would be just as easy to transform q
whatnot into golden or Quartered OAK
cabinet as into white one.-Brookiyu

To make amends for not holding an

Our Anxles Of Moral Danger. 4

+ Our Angles Of Moral Danger.
Many patrons Of physical sports and
especially the art Of personal defense
are just now interested in the trick, or
series of tricks, known as the "jiu
jitsu," or 'jit.Y A little Jap with q
lit may be the veriest weakling and
yet tumble a giant about by simple
twist of the wrist. Thus the great
Muldoon was once xanquished, for the
fit is not new discovery and was
exploited in this country at least hf-
teen years ago. As with most all
devices OF defense and Of attack. the
secret Of this wonder working agency
will become known and the weak
points guarded, for its success lies in
the practitioners knowledge Of vulner.
able places In the opponents frame.
Every life that amounts to anything
II q eeaseless wrestle with something
that must be overcome. some tendency
or faint that spells evil II allowed to
run its course. And the moral system
has it's danger angle to be watched
and REINFORCED. If one can be equip
ped with a moral jit. the giant who
assails the citadel may be worsted in
the first round. He may afterward
learn the art himself and return to the
attack. But If the danger angle has
been REINFORCED he'll again come to
grief. ..
Our own danger angle is perhaps of
first Importance. In the Bible we find
the admonition. "Be sure your sin will
find you out" Some interpreters Of
the text put the stress upon the word
''you," making it mean that the sin to
which we are vulnerable will discover
our danger angle and wrench us from
our moral bearings at single twist
Then beware Of the sin, the temptation,
the habit with the jit.
Just what particular sin may be our
menace is the puzzle to be solved. We
can strengthen all angles and thus ad-
NIT that we are weak all over. But
that gives what the soldier calls long
line Of defense to guard. A line too
long means weakness everywhere,
great strength nowhere. But a long
line Of mean strength is better than
alternate points Of great strength and
fatal weakness.
Many a downfall in character comes
from overweening confidence In some
favorite trait. Our strongest point lie
often our angle of disaster. Great
battles are lost in war because places
supposed to be impregnable are too
lightly guarded. The enemy discovers
the danger angle and rushes in. We
should study our danger angles a.
zealously as our sin studies them and
above all, should know our sin az om
sin knows IN

How to Clean Black SILK.

One OF the things not generally
known is the Partisan method Of clean
Ing black silk. This method is simple
and the result very satisfactory. The
silk must be thoroughly brushed and
wiped with cloth. then laid fat on a
board or table and well sponged with
hot coffee thoroughly freed from sedi-
ment by being strained through mus
lin. The silk is sponged on the side in
tended to show; it is allowed to become
partially dry and then ironed on the
wrong side. The coffee removes every
particle Of grease without imparting to
it either the shiny appearance or crac.
lily and papery stiffness obtained by
ammonia, beer or any other liquid. =

ST. PAUL CENSUS
TOTAL REPORTED
Sanity City, After Six Weeks
Extra Work, Figures Up
197,025 Inhabitants.

st. Paul's population, as figured by
the state census bureau, is 197,025. In
1900 the federal census gave the city
163,O65. The increase is $4,000, or
about FL per cent.
Ramsey county outside the city re-
ports 9,3O5, an increase of 1876 over
the federal census. The total for the
county is 206,330, compared with 17O,-
544 in 1900, an increase of 35,776, or
900 per cent. -.,
The figures are much higher than
anyone anticipated, and are taken with
a grain of salt by st. Paul people as
well as outsiders. The enumerators
first brought in only 10000 for St. Paul,
but men sent over the same ground
brought in about $4,000 additional
names, making the total reported by
+: G. Warner, iq charge Of the county,
This did not satisfy the Commercial
club, which sent out special enumera-
tors, who brought in 3,527 names more.
Then the lists were put in the hands
Of the city directory enumerators, who
checked up with the book and added,
no one knows by what method, about
1000 names. Even these strenuous eff
forts have failed to produce much more
than half the increase found in Mime
apolis by q. thirty day count, and the per
centage OF increase was much lower.

TWO MILLION MARK

Three Large Cities Show Almost
Half the Total Increase in
Past Five Years.

Almost two million persons Were
found in Minnesota by the state census
Of 1905.
The total official count, ascertained
by Th e Journal J today, lacks less
than $4,000 of reaching the mark set by
optimists.
Ramsey county's figure was so much
larger than expected that calculations
were upset. Two weeks ago the total
was placed at approximately 1,954,OOO.
That was before the remarkable re-
suits of the dragnet campaign in the
capital city were known or suspected.
Some of the northern counties just
reported also surpassed expectations.
The result is extremely gratifying to
Secretary of State Hanson and George
F. Wright, director of the census, who
have had the matter in charge.

New Orleans Populace, However,
Wants St. Paul Physician

New Orleans, Aug. 16. After dining
on arsenic pills for three days and pre-
pairing himself to blunt the drills of,
the yellow fever mosquitoes, DR.. Regi-
nald Barl1ley Leach Of St. Paul has
been advised to return to Minnesota to
conduct his experiments with the pests.
Local physicians have guaranteed to
send him a case of untamed stegomyia
fasciata to play with on the prairies
if he will only 60 back to St. Paul.
While DR.. Leach is offering to make
himself martyr to science to demon
strate whether there is anything in his
theory that arsenic eaters are immune
from the plague, the medical fraternity
takes the position that they have no
time to experiment while they have
their hands full fighting the disease.
The populace, on the other hand, is
cheering the st. Paul specialist on, urg-
ing him to carry out his experiments in
the interests of humanity.
But here DR.. Leach balks. He will
not make himself a martyr unless he
has an audience. Until the local doc.
tors appoint committee to watch him
bare him arms and face to the beaks of
the fever-laden insects, he will not

Relatives of Woman Detained by
Immigration Regulations =.
Blame Officials.

New York, Aug. 16.-Mrs. Selie
Weinstock, wife of plumber living in
this city, died a prisoner on Ellis island
Monday night. The doctors say heart
disease was the cause, but her husband
and friends are making a stormy pro-
test over her detention by the immi-
grafton officials and declare that the
woman died from a broken heart.
Weinstock came to this country from
Russia four years ago. He left his
wife and three children with his father.
Engaging in business on the East Side,
he gradually accumulated money
enough to bring them over and also
took out citizenship papers recently.
Mrs. Weinstock arrived at Ellis island
July 2. Her youngest child had con-
tracted measles during the voyage and
was Immediately sent to hospital
ashore. The other children also were
allowed to land, but the mother was
held on a report by the examiners that
she had heart disease.
The husband went to Ellis island
daily and tried to comfort Mrs. Vein
stock. Meanwhile lawyers were busy
and made strong efforts to secure per-
mission for her to land. The matter
was finally placed before the bureau in
Washington, but no action had been
taken when the woman suddenly gave
way under the strain and died before
her husband could reach the detention

New York, Aug. 16.-Is John D.

pie Of Andrew Carnegie in trying to
avoid dying rich9 49,.
The Standard Oil company declared
a dividend Of So share yesterday
This amounts to distribution of &c.
100000, of which Mr.. Rockefeller s por-
feller's portion will be miserly $2,-
100000.
In the past three months he has
given away at least $11, 100000, or &c.
100000 more than he will receive from
Standard Oil. He is also considering
a $50. 100000 gift to the Chicago uni
versity if he has not already decided
upon the gift. ..
In all, Mr.. Rockefeller will probably
receive $16,000.000 this year as his
share of Standard Oil. IF his other in
vestments yield him $10,000.000 his to-
tai will be $26,000,000.
Within three months he has given
away $11 100000. In the preceding
five months he gave away about $500, :
600, or total Of $14,O0O,OOO so far in
