CHICAGO, March 26.-Mr. Jack
Johnson, heavyweight pugilist, to-
night laid aside his ring laurals
to garner a few new ones as po-
litical stump speaker 1t was Mr..
JOhnson's first offense" but he
got away with it" quite as readily
as he got away with Tommy Burns
when he won the heavyweight
championship.
Jackson's speech was in the in
terest of e. H. White, colored in
dependent republican, candidate
from the BLACK belt ward. Ring
side seats were at a premium even
during the preliminaries which pre-
coded the main event-JOhnsOn's
speech. The pugilist orator was
given an ovation that would make
Jeffries jealous, when he stepped
on the platform.
THE white man showed the black
man how to work with his hands,
he said land now it's up to the
black man to learn how to work
with his brain. You black folks
read and write and figure and give
em an education. 1t they haven't
got any education they won't
amount to much"
Johnson urged his hearers to
stick together and vote for Mr..
Wright because if We black folks
don't stick together We'll never get
anything
Jacks perOration was a peep into
the future when maybe there
would be a black country, with a
black president and black officials
and black policemen and black fire
men and"
"And a black flag, tOo?" asked
one Of his hearers.
Yes. and black flag too, If they
want it," retorted the pugilist.

(By United Press Leased Wire)
WASHINGTON, March 26.-"Our
national defenseiessness" was the
theme around which Representative
Hobson democrat, AIabama)
voiced prophecy Of disaster in
the house late this afternoon.
A startling array of facts as to
our unpreparedness for war, as COL
lected by the general staff Of the
army and recently made public
exclusively through the United
Press, was the basis Of the ap-
peal Of the hero of the Spanish
American war for immediate action
by congress. He declared It was
imperative that a larger navy be
created at once IL the United
States would stave off a possible
invasion by foreign enemy in the
future.
ANY European nation of the first
power" said Hobson, that has an
adequate army and merchant ma
rine-I will take Germany, merely
as an illustration, could put 100000
men aboard ships in single expe-
dition. One-half could land on the
coast of Long Island and the other
half on the coast Of New Jersey,
and inside of few weeks they
could seize Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York with
out resistance"
Hobson said he would probably
offer an amendment to the naval
bill calling for six battleships.
1--WE need that many a year." he
said, ito maintain the equilibrium
existing among the nations"
Referring to conditions on the
Pacific coast, Hobson said:

COOKING CRANBERRIES.
How to Prepare This Time Honored
Turkey Accompaniment.

turkey Accompaniment.
Many people eat cranberry sauces
with turkey more because they are
COZ dered the proper condiment than
b. nuse they especially like them. but
~ are very fine condiment for all
leats.
One of the most important points In
cooking them Is to use only porcelain
or earthen dishes. never use tin or
metal, and they are better the day aft
pr they are cooked. but should be kept
In glass or earthenware dishes.
The following recipe will be found
very toothsome: One quart cranberries
one pound Of sugar, pint OF water.
Boil the water and sugar together for
FIVE minutes. skim, add berries ana
rook slowly without stirring or burn
Ing until the berries are thoroughly
cooked and tender. They can also be
made into marmalade that can be SHE
ed with knife. Candied, they can
hardly be told from candled cherries
The cranberry is the thanksgiving
berry par excellence, but there Is al.
the difference in the world in the way
it is cooked. One of the most appetlZ
ing ways Is to jelly them. Now while
seeds and skins are tender there Is no
better way. which is one of the easi
est possible to remember. Wash and
look over the berries, removing any
that are soft or imperfect. Put into n
porcelain or granite Kettle that mas
not Clipped and sprinkle over them
half as much sugar as you have Der
ries. On top Of the sugar crust pour
gently half much water as you have
used sugar. Thus if you are cooking a
quart Of cranberries you would need a
pint of sugar and half pint. or one
cup. of water Cook very slowly. When
they break into Il boil cover just Il
few moments. but not long. as you dc
not wish the skins to burst. Then un

How to Eradicate Dandruff.

A hair tonic which is excellent when
bothered by dandruff is made of five
ounces of bay rum, half an ounce OF
tincture of cantharides and half an
ounce of glycerin. This should be ap
piled to the scalp every night before
going to bed. 1t is well to remember
in applying any tonic to the scalp that
it is not so much the amount you spat
on your scalp that counts as it is the
amount you force your pores to abb
sorb. If you will stroke and spat the
scalp gently you will notice that il

which may happen to be clinging to

THE DRESSING TABLE.
How to Take Care of the Hands and
the EinuernaiIs,

the FineernaiIs.
The first requisite is always the lit
lie basin of warm soapy water in
which to soak the finger tips to soft
ness. An orange wood stick, fat at
Dne end aud pointed at the other, is
the second necessity, and a pair of
curved manicure scissors, bit of cold
tream or vaseline, tint and polish, with
d chamois buffer, few strips of en-
cry board and a bit of absorbent cot
ION, are also valuable.
The cotton is more efficacious than
the orange wood stick alone for cleans
| Ing under the nails, especially if they
have been roughened by cleansing
with a sharp instrument. With care
full cutting the emery board will suf-
| fee for filing, and the cold cream is
rubbed in the last thing to counterfeit
the drying effect Of the soaking.
One should begin by trimming the
nails to an even roundness. 1t is no
| longer considered the best taste to
have pointed nails, and indeed it is
just as well, for the former style left
no means of protecting the corners OF
! the finger tips. The toughest faults
| In the cutting are then filed away and
| the orange wood stick, moistened, used
to shove down the cuticle till the half
| moons show and to remove particles
of skin that have chung to the nails.
Though hangnails must Of course be
cut with scissors, it is far better to
avoid their use, as cutting the cuticle
thickens it. Then comes the cleansing,
the final smoothing with the emery
stick, the touching with nail rouge,
the polishing with nail buffer and pow
der and the rubbing in of cold cream,
and you are ready to do the other
hand. When both are manicured they
should be carefully rinsed and dried
and final polish administered with
the buffer This treatment is neces-
sary once or twice a week and the
dry polishing every time you wash
your hands.
One of the best preparations for
whitening and refining the hands con-
tains raw eggs. To prepare it raw
yolk is beaten with a silver fork, and
tablespoonful of oil of sweet aim
onds is worked in drop at time. A
teaspoonful of tincture of benzoin Is
then added in the same way. A des-
sertspoonful of rose water is also put
In, drop by drop, to finish the paste.
This mixture is applied at night, and
pair of kid gloves is drawn on. The
gloves should be white and larger than
are worn for dress. 1t is always well
to make few holes in the palms OF
the gloves worn at night in order to
let in air. The paste when not in use
must be kept in a tightly covered jar
