Quarantine Against Cuba.

Secretary Taft had conference
with the President as to the putting
in operation of a quarantine against
Cuba, owing to the alleged existence
of yellow fever in that country. 1t
was decided to suspend for one week
the putting into effect of the quar-
antine, pending an opportunity for
Gov. Magoon to pass upon the state
ment of the Marine Hospital author
tiles that quarantine is necessary.
Governor Magoon and the business
men of Cuba claim that there is no
reason why a quarantine should be
enforced at the beginning of the yell
low fever season, while the authori-
ties of the Marine Hospital Service, IN
a report just made to Secretary Cor
telyou, insist that the quarantine
ought to be rigidly enforced, as usual.

American Drums EXCEL

With the stirring rattle of the
drums. the parade passed down the
street and the Casual Observer said
to his friend:
Ever know that Americans were
the greatest drum makers in the
world? Fact. Not only do they make
.he most drums, but they make the
finest drums, too. And there's great
deal more to the manufacture of a
drum than you would think. OF
course the cheap variety doesn't
amount to anything They're simply
toys. There is just as much differ
ence in drums as in any other musi-
cal instrument, though most people
wouldn't think so. The drums re-
quired in orchestra and band work
have a certain sharpness of tone.
while those used in corps and mill
tary work must have a iuller tone,
and the drum must not be so sensitive
to the touch.
And how many parts do you sup
pose we'll made drum consists Of?
Wrong. 1t has 24S pieces, not includ,
ing sticks, hooks and belt. Every.
thing must be of first quality, too, for
a drum must have tone first Of all,
and it must be constructed to with,
stand rough usage. Great business
is drum making. and interesting, too

The legislation of the Senate was
largely consumed by discussion, with
out passage of bill to reorganlze the

of claims of states on account OF the
disposition of public lands was again

Money for Consuls.

The House Committee on Foreign
Affairs voted to report favorably the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill, carrying a total appropriation OF
$3,:go,OOO, which is $47s,oOO less than
the amount asked for by the State
Department and $366,000 in excess
of the appropriation for 1908. The
bill as reported by the committee,
raised by 10 per cent the amounts
which consuls may expend annually

from $4,000 to $4,000 the appro-
priation for the Bureau of American
Republics, to correspond with a sim
liar increase agreed to by each of the

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather. to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
Tor carelessness OF application, any
more than care In applying it can
make poor paint wear well.
The surface to be painted should
be dry and scraped and sandpapered

should be mixed with pure linseed

tory. White lead is capable of abso-

Fair.Haired Race in Ancient Egypt

Karl Blind, the anthropologist, has
long believed that the aboriginal in
habitants of Egypt were fair-haired
people, allied by blood to the Trojans,
who were driven out by the incom
ing of the latter black-haired, pyramid
building race.
The recent unearthing, he says, OF
the ancient burial place of light
haired people at Fayum, and still
later of reddish-haired corpse (not
a mummy. supposed to be 5000 years
old, furnishes striking evidence in
support of this theory. This race was
related by blood, speech and customs
to the Teutonic and Scandinavian
stock. therefore also with English
men and their descendants in Amer
lea"
The corpse above referred to now
lies in the mummy room of the Brit
ish Museum. 1t was dug up on the
western bank of the Nile, in upper
Egypt. Some tufts of reddish hail
are still sticking to the S,000-year-old
skull. The hands and feet are small

ure of this warrior must have beer

BUY ONLY BEST CHICORY.
Ask For the Franck Brand and Insist
Upon Getting 1t.

All coffee drinkers should be IA
chicory AS salt is necessary for
soup, SO coffee is incomplete without
a proper proportion of genuine chic
ory, for it Is chicory that gives coffee
that rich flavor and fragrant aroma.
Americans, thanks to foreign-born
residents, new. appreciate the merits
Of chicory. The United States Gov
ernment has interested itself in the
root and recently issued bulletin on
the use and growth Of chicory. (See
Bulletin 10, U. s. Department Of
Agriculture).
1t also regards chicory as standard
= food product as coffee and requires
the coffee makers to state the con-
tents OF their packages in plain let
ters. This insures the purchaser
pure coffee and genuine chicory.
One chicory manufacturing firm,
Heinz. Franck Sohne & Company,
which has Is mammoth factories in
Europe and has received forty medals
for the excellence of its product in it's
nearly a century of existence, has es-
tablished an American branch at
Flushing, N. Y, where genuine Franck
Chicory is made. From this factory
genuine chicory is supplied to all the
leading jobbers of the South.
You must ask for Franck Chicory
In order to get the best chicory. Many
inferior brands are offered, but there
is only one high grade chicory, and it
Is the Franck Chicory.
Make sure that the coffee you buy
is mixed with "Franck" chicory, and
insist on getting it. You will be as
sured of cup of coffee rich in taste,
fragrant in aroma and healthful in
effect. You will then drink the cof-
fee made famous by the good Dutch
housewives-the same kind served IN
all the leading hotels and restau-
rants. Accept only coffee prepared
with "Franck" Chicory-it is the best.

New Question Involved.

The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion listened to the argument by
George II. Terriberry of New Orleans
and others in the case of Eiehenberg
VS.. The Southern Pacific Railroad,
from Galveston. The case is of gen.
eral interest to dealers in cotton-seed
products in that it involves the right
of a transportation company to give
a practical monopoly to a dealer
through a special contract other than
a direct granting of rebates.
