America leads the world in the pro =
duction of mud-not cheap, low grade
mud, but mud of very expensive
quality. Our mud is not packed in
neat boxes, labelled "Made in Amer
lea" and protected by tariff duties
from the pauper mud of Europe. 1t
is spread out thickly over millions of
miles of our country roads. Only one
mile in fourteen of Americas roads
can be said to be really improved.
The rest are mud-deep narrow
streaks of sticky, oozy mud. The
farmer fights with mud when he takes
his load to market. 1t is said to cost
him 25 cents ton per mile to haul
his produce, while the thrifty French
man on mudless roads does it for half
as much. The American farmer pays
for his mud in decreased profits, in
harder labor, in poorer schools; his
wife pays in isolation and loneliness.
Nor is the farmer the only one who
pays the mud tax. The city man who
thinks he is buying eggs is buying
also mud. Mud puts it's price upon
our bread, our meat, and our fuel.
Three hundred millions dollars a year
is the estimated cost of muddy roads.
We can think of no way in which our
people could get less fun for the same
money.-Success.

A GREAT DoUBTER.

The will Of the late Henry H Rog-
ers showed that while he had great
confidence in himself and was rather
proud Of his own judgment and gen
erous in the distribution of his estate
to surviving heirs, that he did not
have confidence in their ability to go
alone. His distrdst of the ability of
his heirs to keep the money he left
them is shown by the terms Of his
will. The benefciaries receive so per
cent. Of their requests at the age of
40. The other so per cent. is held in
trust to give them an income for life.
This, of course, shows beyond dis
pute his estimate of the ability of
those who are to succeed him, and it
tells Of his guard and care as well.
1t is more than probable that he
may have been mistaken, for the boy
who disappoints his father in many
ways and loses his confidence often
proves to be more of genius and a
success than his progenitor This has
proven true of the sons Of more than
one millionaire and may prove true in
this case.
If Mr.. Rogers did not provide for
the care Of the great buildings he has
given to Fairhaven, Mass, outside of

ton is great annual expense

A FAMOUS SALOON KEEPER.

Don't buy booze If your children

If mems consciences were the ten

CLEANSING HINTS.

Presentation stains are hard to re-
move from unwashable materials. In
fact, the only hope lies in a mixture
of alcohol and ether in equal parts,
with a dash Of ammonia. This may
do away with the worst feature Of the
stains, though do not let them get too
old before the cleansing. When ap-
plying the fluid lay several thickness
es Of white blotting paper under the
soil to prevent the ring which is like
ly to remain when the garment is dry.
A fresh grease spot. such as would
be made by food, may often be re-
moved with ordinary talcum face pow
der. Sprinkle the spot thickly with
the powder and let it remain on over
night. Brush off briskly the next day.
French chalk is always a good grease
eradicator and no business woman
should be without It. The chalk,
which is commonly applied on the
wrong side of the stuff, is rubbed well
into the spot and left on for four or
covered with a white plotting paper
and pressed with a moderately warm
iron. Move the paper along as the
grease begins to show through and re-
member that hot iron viii make the
grease spot a fixture instead Of taking

But II this cannot be afforded and the

ing methods which any girl can en-
ploy at home without mCssing her
chamber White India rubber and
stale bread crumbs, rubbed briskly
against the dry kid, are both good
cleansers for white or light gloves.
Keep the gloves on the hands while
cleansing them, and If the rubber and
crumbs are not efflcacious try a mix
ture of benzoiE and oatmeal made into
a paste. Both light gloves and kid
slippers likewise respond to a good
rubbing with piece Of flannel Dip
ped in equal parts of fuller's earth and
powdered alum. A last rub with dry
oatmeal improves the looks of the kid.
When black gloves have become white

We like to get back to the old ten

The NEGRO. AMERICAN FAMILY,

Atlanta university has just publish
ed the thirteenth volume Of her stud
les of the negro problem. 1t 10 called
THE Negro American Family" and is
an historical and sociological study of
$50 pages, edited by w. r. Burg
hardt Dubois, Pho.
In 1897 the Atlanta university negro
conference made an investigation into
the Social and physical condition of
negroes in cities" which involved a
study Of 4,742 individuals. gathered in
1887 families, living in 50 different
groups, in IS different cities. These
data were compiled by the United
States department of labor and pub
lished in bulletin No. TO-: and, as the
editor said, Great credit is due the
investigators for their work" The OBJ
tect of the investigation was to study
the mortality of negroes and the So
cial and family conditions The study
Of mortality was continued in 1906 by
Atlanta university publication No. IL.
The present volume continues the
study of social conditions from the
point Of view Of the family group, and
is as surprising as enlightening to
the reader. Since it deals with the ne
groes Of Georgia with relation to their
steady improvement mentally and r.
nancially, 1t may be relied upon as
an official statement of exceeding
value. Perhaps the following table of
the advance in wealth Of the colored
people will check some Of the preju-
