FOR PURITY OF BLOOD,

Treason OF the Blood. By Es.elle Hemp
stead Manning Brewer. The Torch
Press. Publishers. Cedar Rapids. Iowa.
This story is strong on the sentiment
OF keeping pure and untainted the
white blood of the South. The author
very strongly Ieprobates any mixing,
and thereby the eorrupting and de
terioratiDg OF the blood OF the white
Sopthrons. The story itself is made
subordinate To the main theme, and
there Is no doubt the author has made a
strong showing. one which white peo-
plr everywhere will sympathize with.
for nothing more unfortunate could
happen 70 the blood of people than

The work is well aimed and well done.

Of public approval has run from

that the Democratic majority at

pie want, and has set about its
united duty Of giving it to them.

price of wheat at Liverpool Is
"a fixed. interchangeable quantity
or else this price is fixed and de.
