To Impress upon President
Roosevelt the Indignation of the sub
stantial colored citizens Of, Oklaho-
ma and Indian Territory, oyer the
unconstitutional constitution about
to be submitted to him, q strong
delegation Of colored, men visited the
White House last Saturday and laid
their protest before the President.
They did not come on their own
hook be 1t said. They were elected
by. the people Of the two territories
ana they came fully commissioned
to speak for their race. The party
was made up Of Messrs. A. G.. Sango,
chairman; w. H. Irvine, OF the
Muskogee Cimeter; James A.. Roper,
a land dealer of OkmuIgee; S. A.
Bell, Archie V. Jones, William Brad
ford, J. w. Simmons and others.
Most Of them hailed. from the thriv-
ing city of Muskogee, and they were
a handsome manly, prosperous-look-
ing and intelligent aggregation. They
we're introduced to the President by
Register w. T, Vernon, They we're
cordially received and the President
listened very. attentively to their en-
phatic protest against the approval
OF the proposed constitution Of Okla
homa, quoting largely from. formal
remonstrance to be filed with Attor-
ney General Bonaparte against the
proclaiming Of the new state, declar-
ing that the constitution is contrary
to the enabling act In: many features,
and declaring that under it thou
sands Of 'colored people will be I'M
Justly deprived Of the privilege of
voting. President Roosevelt did not
commit himself as to what his action
would be in the matter, but said he
would take the whole subject under
advisement. Whatever his decision
may be, there is no doubt that the
able presentation Of the case by Mr..
sango. and his business4like delega-
ton made a pleasing Impression up
on Mr.. Roosevelt, and they did them
- selves end their people great good
by their coming. IL -

Cleaning the Skin.

Owing to the oiliness of the skin, it
cannot be efficiently cleansed by water
alone ; hence the morning cold bath,
which is delightfully."- tonic and invig-
Grating to those with whom it agrees,
is delusion and snare 60 far as eff
cient cleansing properties are con-
cerned. The rubbing which one un-
dergoes after the cold bath undoubted-
ly assists in the removal of the dried
secretioDs from the skin, but there is
still need of some substance which
will SO modify the greasy coating as to
render it capable Of being washed of.
Such an agent we possess in soap,
which is essentially combination of
an alkali (soda or potash) and fat or
oil. There is always some free alkali
in soap, and this, when rubbed with
water on the body, unites with the
oily material of the skin and renders
it soluble. Soaps made with potash
(soft or black soaps) contain too much
alkali, 80 that when they are used to
wash the skin the natural oil is 60
effectually removed as to leave the
skin dry and harsh and altogether
"too tight, as commonly expressed,
for itR owner.

For a Curveless Woman Now.
Here's the reason hips must go:

For CurveleSS woman NOW.
Here's the reason hips must go:
It's to put a stop to the "immoral'
ty resulting from the curves of the
feminine form.
Miss Elizabeth A. @. White, presi'
dent of the Dressmakers' Protective
Association, which is holding its six
ty.frst convention in New York at
Masonic Temple, let out the secret.
"One of the chief reasons for hold
ing this convention, said Miss White,
sis to further morality by doing away
with suggestive figures III women
No doubt the new fashion will seem
little strange, but it is the only way
to put an end to temptation.

have been all over the world and l
know. Young men are led to fall
from grace by the figures that women
have been affecting for the last few
years.. 1t is only human nature, and
the women are to blame.
"More than half the wrong would
be eradicated if all women would
adopt the new mode Of dress. Look
at your crime waves. They have
been caused largely by the exaggerat-
ed immodesty of womens dress. Why,
my boy, if we hadn't come here with
this reform in dress in five years the
country would have been undermined.
1t would have been demoralized. A
woman might as well wear no clothes
at all as to go about in those tight
fitting, serpentine effects that were all
the rage last season."
"Do you think that the new style
of straigh: gowns and tooth-pick fig
ures will be as beautiful as those with
graceful curves2"
"Oh, yes. They will seem funny
at first, but they will be modest and
decent, and thing cant be beautiful
in my opinion, if it is indecent. The
great trouble will be to get all the
women to adopt the new style. But
when they see that it is to save the
community from moral ruin they will
come around.
Pads will be a thing of the past.
The barndoor effects that women e
backs have had on account Of ex-
treme lacing and big pads will dis,
appear. The busts will be as COM
pressed and straight as the hips.
"There will be no more of that
sloppy wobbling when women walk,
either. We are going back to the
years Of the past, when people had
some modesty and respect for them
selves. The new dresses will much
resemble the Colonial costumes"

How wasps ysntIlate Their Homes.

built, having but one entrance, and
no windows. There are usually sew.
eral thousand inmates. They have q
peculiar way of ventilsting the nest.
In hot weather from four to six wasps
are selected, who station themselves
near the holes of egress They keep
their wings in rapid motion, and thus
create a steady current of fresh air.
When they are tired they are relieved
by other wasps, who in turn rest and
and are relieved by others. When
the weather becomes cooler the num-
Der of living ventilating fans is re-
