oklahoma City, Okla-Cash NJ.
Cade, of Shawnee, member of the
national republican committee, has
forwarded to President Roosevelt his
resignation of the registership of
the Guthrie land office to which he
was appointed several months ago.

months in the senate pending the in
vestigation of the charges of which
Mr.. Cade was exonerated. Later he
was confirmed, but has never taken
the office. No reason is assigned,
but it is authoritaatively asserted that
Mr.. Cade views with disfavor the
fight which is always offered an ap-

HE MADE rAE OPPORTUNITY
How Educator Succeeded in Desire
to Address Students.

A distinguished educator of Boston,
who once visited a western college
during examination week, was, for
some reason or other, not asked to
address the students, as he had ex-
pected he would be. In chapel he
was merely requested to lead in pray
er, which he did in this wise:
BE pleased, rather in Heaven, to
guide the steps of the president of
this college Thou knowest that he
was a clasmate of Thy servant, a
graduate of the class of "a, taking
high honors. Thine eye hath looked
with favor upon the happy choice that
resulted in his appointment, with the
consent of the trustees, as the head
of this institution. Thou knowest
that the students of this college ought
to look upon him as friend as well
as their president. Thou knowest
that thy servant is well pleased with
the high standards of scholarship
here prevailing and with the right
eousness and loyalty of the stu
dents"
Finally, to the intense delight of
the students. the visitor concluded his
prayer as follows:
"And 1 thank Thee for this oppor-
tunity to address the students of this
college"

DUBIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food
Coffee because ordinary coffee dis
agreed with her and her husband. She
writes:
lily husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so 1 could not attend to
my housework-both of us using cof-
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
I took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
But 1 took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used cup of
it since. You should have seen the
change in us, and now my husband
never complains of heart palpitation
any more My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after began Pos
tum. My children love it and it does
them good. which can't be said OF
coffee.
"a lady visited us who was always
half sick. 1 told her I'd make her a
cup of Postum. She said it was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
it, boiling it thoroughly for Is min
utes, and when done she said it was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the
flavor and food quality" Name given

Berlin.-The government medical
department has issued report on
the sanitary condition of the Prus-
sian bakeries and slaughter houses,
to which the newspapers are giving
sensational prominence, one of them
using the caption America in Prus-

The report sets forth that many of
the butchering establishments were
found in a very unclean condition.
Some of them were located in dark
cellars where cleanliness was impos-
sible and others had no facilities for
the employees to wash themselves. The
government inspectors found partic-
ularly Objectionable conditions in the
bakeries. In one town boys kneaded
the dough with their feet and one

How TO Put On SIoxes.

Open and turn back the gloves to
the thumb and powder lightly. Put
the fingers in their places, not the
thumb, and carefully work them on
with the first finger and thumb of
the other hand until they are quite
down; never press between the fin
gers. Pass the thumb into its place
with care and work on as the fingers.
Turn back the glove and slide it over
the hand and wrist, never pinching
the kid, and work the glove into
proper place by means of the light
est pressure, always allowing the kid
to slide between the fingers. In fin
ishing care should be taken in fas.
tening the first button.

DIAMONDS IN UNITED STATES
Stones to the Value of $500 Found In
Single Year.

Never in the history of the United
States has there been such demand
for diamonds as there was in 1905.
Large quantities were imported, but
the country produced none.
In 1903 it produced diamonds to the
value of $50, in 1901 it had an output
worth 500, in 1900 it's production was
valued at $3.50, and in 1899 the coun-
try boosted native diamonds to the
value of $500.
Diamonds have been discovered In
the United States in four different re-
gions, but their actual place of orr
gin is unknown. All have been found
in loose and superficial deposits, and
all accidentally.
1t is not at all improbable, how
ever, that some day the original
sources of this queen Of gems may be
discovered. The high price of dia,
monds has made the recent search for
these precious stones in the United
States and Canada keener than ever
before-Scientific American.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
