AduIterated Foodstuffs.

then sold the powdered stuff for pure
spices. He related about another con-
Germ which sold 100000 worth of
spices annually, only five per cent. of
which were pure. The common arti-
Giles used for adulteration of spices
are sawdust, brick dust, burnt grains,
cocoanut shells and other kinds of
shells and barks. 1t is the aim of the

NO ARBITRARY RULE

now exploded theory that there are
certain colors exclusively dedicated to
the brunette and others the sole pos
session of tho blond. When crude
dyes only were obtainable, it was per-
haps necessary to say to the dark
woman, For you there must exist
only yellow and pale blue and to the
blond: you must look upon' no other
color save green and light red"
But now contemplate the nuances
Of every dye; contemplate, too, the
changes that are rung on the defini-
ton brunette" and blond" Besides,
if there is one point upon which wonl-
en- are usually good judges for them
selves it is color.
While, however, roughly speaking,
white is for every body, NAIVE for the
very fair, blue for the brunette and
red for the blond. / would add that
age should be clrcumspect in a de-
cision as to color schemes. With
white, black, gray and purple at her
command, why should the woman OF
60 insist upon pink, which is certain
to make her appear years and years
older than she really is?--Worth. in

A Few Words to the Youth Who Would

young men, anxious to make the most

ly known as a bad reputation" Do
you, young man, ever stop to think
that there are immutable laws that
control the universe and all therein?
Do you ever consider that light is
only the evidence of luminous body?
That the brilliancy of the diamond is
merely the rays reflected from the
perfectly crystalized carbon? Reputa-
ton is only the reflection from char
acter as it is variously projected upon
the screen of public opinion; but rep
utation is not character, any more
than the light is the luminous body,
but is merely the effulgence, the re.
suit Of character.
The imitation diamond for a time
may rival in splendor and brilliancy
the reflections of light of the genuine
gem, but this brilliancy is soon dulled.

sometimes attaches to character

NEGRO SOLDIERS ARE GUILTY
Senate Committee Finds Negro Sol
ders of 25th shot Up" Town
and That Guilty Were Not
Identified.

Washington.-That the shooting in
the affray at Brownsville, Tex, on
the night of August 1914, 1906, was
done by some of the negro soldiers
of the Twenty fifth Infantry and that
the testimony taken before the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs fails
to identify the guilty parties, is the
opinion Of eight members of the COM
mittee. Four members of the commit
tee voted against this decision,
and one member did not vote. The
resolution declaring the guilt of the
negroes was submitted by Senator
Lodge and was adopted after five
resolutions by Senator Foraker, one by
Senator Dupont and one by Senator
Scott, all of which were offered as
substitutes, had been voted down.
The vote Tuesday was reached af-
ter prolonged investigation extend
ing over two sessions of Congress,
and evidence had been taken covering
thousands of pages. Practically every
negro of the three companies of in
fantry, dishonorably discharged by
President Roosevelt, testified in his
own behalf, while evidence in sup
port of the president was given by
many army officers and citizens Of
Brownsville. Throughout the entire
controversy, which in many sections
of the country has been made a polit-
lcal issue, the opposition to the presi-
dents order discharging the troops
has been directed by Senator Foraker.
In the final vote of the committee,
a majority of the Republican mem
bers came to his support. The Ohio
senator expressed himself as gratified
at this, as it was apparent from the
outset that all of the Democratic mem
bers were convinced that the negroes
did the shooting.
The fight will be carried to the
floor of the Senate me reports of
the committee will not be made for
about ten days, as Senator Warner,
who conducted the examination of
witnesses on behalf of the admins
tration, will be absent from Washing
ton for that period. After the reports
have been made to the Senate it is
said, Senator Foraker will press the
matter to vote there If he should
secure the same proportion of the Re-
publican members or the Senate as
he had in the committee the vote
will be closer than has been anticipat-
ed. The Ohio senator proposes also
to introduce a bill 20 restore to the

ed negroes as were shown beyond a

The reason of so many i'll formed
women is lack of exercise; while the
labors which are imposed upon them
each day give exercise which exhausts
them, it is not the proper kind of eXer-
else. The woman behind the counter,
the seamstress, the stenographer the
housewife, say they are too tired when
night comes to indulge in physical
exercise. What mistake!
If, after a little rest and relaxation,
systematic course of exercises were
INDUCED in they would soon find not
only an improved physical condition,
but they would be better able to with
them.
The following exercises given here
are simple, yet effective, in restoring
any weakened organ to its normal
condition. In indulging in them you
are following simply the paths of ma
ture, which restore the invalid to
health by the same method and means
by which the healthy body is devel-
oped and preserved. The movements
are absolutely natural, are grounded
on the mechanism of the human body
and suggested by the conformation
of its joints and muscles.
Before beginning the exercises, re-
move all tight-fitting clothing and see
that the room is well ventilated. /.
Illustration No. 1 gives the posi-
ton for the first exercise. With the
arms extended in front, start by moving
them backward, then forward with a
throwing or swinging movement in
creasing in speed as you progress.
Permit the body to sway loosely at the
hips, so that when the arms go for
ward to maintain the equilibrium the
body will bend backward, and when
the arms go backward the body will

Remedy for Straight Hair.

Straight hair is the bane of a girls
existence, and her lucky sister who
was born with naturally wavy locks
does not realize the agony the girl
with the straight hair endures. A
good solution is the white of an egg
mixed with an equal amount of rose
water and a few drops of some fra
grant perfume. Then the hair should
be slightly shampooed with the mix
ture before wrapping around the curl
ers. Left until thoroughly dry, then
brushed gently, the hair will be wavy
with soft sheen on it besides look
ing light and fluffy, and the wave
will remain permanent in spite of rain
and fog.

VERITABLE THINGS OF
BEAUTY ARE THE
NEWEST HAT PINS

Very beautiful are the newest hat
pins, composed of large balls of plat
mum, plentifully set with brilliants
or tiny rhinestone. These pins are so
made that they can be unscrewed
from the pin and attached to a gold or
enamel watch chain. With an ex-
quisite hat of white lace and flowers
this hat pin is decided relief from
the heavy ambers and tortoise shell
balls, which are very smart with
somber fur or velvet, but scarcely in
keeping with a light-colored straw hat
trimmed with delicate flowers, rib
bons and laces.
To keep the lace, net and chiffon
wells firmly in place on the wide
brimmed straw hats that are so fashion
able for the south extremely clever
and effective pins have been devised.
To fasten the veil into the hair in
back long jewel bar pin, with the
pin curved slightly with the shape of
the head, is excellent, while for the
front of the veil small pin of the
same design fastens the net or chiffon
to the edge of the brim. The new cal
iber setting, with it's stones of con-
trast!ng colors set close into the gold
or platinum pockets, is used to large
extent in all manner of bar pins.
In neck ornaments the long bead
chain is replaced at times by mar
row watered ribbon with a movable
slide of diamonds that enables the rib
bon to be worn close round the col
lar band, after the fashion of the sin
gle string of pearls, or in the style of
the long neck chain.
