but not of such a dogmatic type as
those of the Turkish empire. The Dutch
are not hurting themselves, either in
the evangelization or education OF the
natives. They are evidently more in
terested in utilizing or exploiting them.
The Chinese are willing to pay literally
for the best American teachers to edu-
cate their children, which is bound to
tell in the coming years. These Chi
nese so well adapted to all climates,
will yet largely cultivate IL not domf-
nate Borneo as well as Java and SUI

perate zones.
Skull as Idol.
The natives are very much given to
idolatry. They will worship a tree, a
volcano or q white ant heap. One OF
their idols In Batavia is the skull Of
Elberveld. This man plotted a mutiny
against the government and was ex-
ecuted or put to death by horses
drawing his limbs from his body.
The place where he was exc
cuted is now a shrine Of worship.
His skull elevated above the portal is
kept fresh with u1--wash and regu-
larly worshiped A very old dis
mantled cannon, half buried, In a CO.
coanut grove We saw, to which great
numbers were fiocking with flowers
n other offerings in idolatrous adora-
ton.
We are glad to see that the American
Methodists, Notwithstanding the cold
shoulder of opposition on h part
of the Dutch, have entered this very
needy field. Much of their work is both
difficult and delicate. 1t is not very
uncommon when a woman applies for
membership in the church to find that
she Is living in such relations to a
Dutchman or some other man as to bar
her entrance into church membership.
The first work on the part Of the mis-
| sionary is to bring about a legitimate
and orthodox marriage. When this can
not be done, then to sever the unlawful
relation. Such women have never been
taught to know any better. When they
do marry or sever their unholy rela-
| tons they often become very good and
valuable church members.

litical capital. We sailed from Soura.

ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA

II, the undersigned, cannot give
enough praise to the Cuticura Rem
edies. I had been doctoring for at
least a year for eczema on my foot.
had tried doctor after doctor all to
no avail. When a young girl I sprained
my ankle three different times, paying
little or no attention to 1t, when five
years ago a small spot showed upon
my left ankle. I was worried and sent
for a doctor. He said it was eczema.
He drew a small bone from the ankle
about the size Of a match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size of an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc
tors eve could heal the hole in the
ankle. The whole foot ran water all
the time.
my husband and my sons were up
night and day wheeling me from mi
room to another in the hope Of giving
me some relief. I would sit for hours
at a time in front of the fireplace
hoping for daybreak. The pain was
SO intense / was almost crazy, in fact.
I would lose my reason for hours at
q time. One day a friend Of mine
dropped in to see me. No more had
she glanced at my foot than she ex-
claimed: Mrs. F%innegan, why in the

PRESS COMMENTS

In its issue of June 20 the Chi
cago Public said:
"The Democratic party cannot
win under the n-Sullivan-Ta
garth Murphy trade mark.
But no candidate will be elected
this year by the strict Democratic
party vote. Neither will any can
didate be elected by Hearst's sup
port, although Hearst's methods of
opposition may be conceded to be
dangerous. Nor yet will any can
didate be elected by old time Dem
ocratic progressives. If Demo-
cratic candidate is elected Presi-
dent this year it will be chiefly, if
not altogether, by the vote of those
Progressives of both parties who,
like Governor Wilson, are recent
converts. 1t is this kind of sup
port that makes Governor Wilson
stronger candidate than Speaker
Clark.
Next to Bryan, Governor Wilson
is apparently the strongest candi-
date the Democrats could name.
at is inconceivable that the pro-
gressive Republicans would nomi-
nate any one against Wilson; for
the progressive Republican vote
would be almost united for Wilson,
if he were the Democratic nominee.
He would probably get all of this
vote that either Roosevelt or La
Toilette could"

THE POTATO"

Eugene H. Grubb has published
a book on The Potato" 1t is a
compilation of information from
every available source and contains
o45 pages. This book is gotten
out with the hope that a compila.
ton of the information in regard
to one of the worlds greatest food
plants-the potato-will be of ser
vice to the increasing thousands
OF people now interested, and be-
coming interested in practical,
scientific agriculture, that this
work is published.
Mr. Grubb has grown large
acreage of potatoes at Mt. Sopris
Farm, Colorado, for years, and has
made careful study of the practi-
cal side of potato growing all over
the world. The discussion of prob
lens, and the suggestions made,
are from the standpoint of the
practical grower.

HARDWARE COMPANY
HOLDS OPEN HOUSE

1t was with a genera! acceptance
that the public greeted the invita-
ton of the Rio Grande Hardware
company to attend its formal open
ing last Saturday.
And well repaid we're the guests
with the entertainment afforded.
All-day, open house WAS pro-
vided by the company and early
in the forenoon the crowds began
to fill the new home of the Rio
Grande. Like all San Luis Val
ley gatherings, there was total lack
of jostling or pushing, and every
one felt neighborly and perfectly
at home.
Guests were shown through the
building and every courtesy ex-
tended, with no effort made to sell
goods.
There were demonstrations given
of the various lines handled; and
were presided over by representa-
tives direct from the manufacturers
The great John Deere line was
ably shown by A. V. Mutt gem
eral manager of Denver, Mr.. Fair
banks and Mr.. Mcclure, binder ex-
perts and Mr. Murphy the harness
man. The DeLaval cream sep
arator people knew the man to
send and Mr.. Thompson was there
to look after their interests. Mr..
Bare took charge of the Chi Namel
exhibit and the Great Majestic
range had all its good points dis.
played by Mr. Courtney.
On the second floor, hot biscuits
and coffee were served by an able
corps of attendants and all corners
were given tickets and registered
their names. And by the way, this
list totals something like LOO
visitors.
In the evening, the drawing took
place and the lucky number is
452. The holder of this number
has not yet appeared and if not
found by Saturday, another draw
ing will be made.
On the whole, it WAS a dandy
good show and an unqualified sue
cess from every standpoint.
DR.. Findley, pastor of the First
Christian church of this place, left
Monday for an extended visit to
several of the eastern states. He
will deliver three addresses at Beth.
any Park, Ind, also one before the
alumni of the Chicago University.
He was accompanied by II. Pear
son who has been making his home
with his son, j. X. Pearson. Mr..
Pearson will visit in his old home
in Indiana.
A. ID. Matthias left Saturday for
u short stay in Denver.

Utica, New York-After a long
illness, Vice President James School
craft Sherman died at his home in this
city October both, of uraemic poison
caused by Bright's disease.
He had been sinking since early
morning and it was realized that death
was a question of only few hours.
There was slight relief shortly after
Z o'clock caused by an apparent i'm
provement in the kidneys, but it did
not prove real or lasting, and at best
gave only temporary hope. At 8
o'clock the patients temperature rose
to 106. From that time his condition
rapidly passed from bad to worse un-
til the end. Mr.. Sherman was uncon-
scious when the end came and had
been in that condition for several
hours.
All the members OF the immediate
family were witnesses to the final

Ing Of life and limb. Professor Mum
Iterburg of Harvard is responsible for
what ia known as the cinematograph
nerve test, which is said will reduce
motor car accident in the United
States to a minimum. The professors

become a chauffeur II his tests indi-
cate that he would not be quick enough
to stop his car if child ran out In the
roadway In front of the wheels, says
the New Orleans Picayune. In the
test for chauffeurs at Harvard the
subject is placed in a motor car In
hall equipped for the purpose. He Is
seated at the wheel of the machine,
which is lacked up so that all the ma
chinery is movable, while the car re-
mains stationary. The experiments
are conducted in darkened room. In
front of the cars is white wall. on
which moving pictures Of great size
are shown. They are Immediately be-
fore the chauffeur students eyes. The
student is then told to act as he would
In real life II he saw any one of the
things happen that appear on the
sceen. Although he knows that the
car is not actually running, the fact
that he is under a test puts the stu
dent on edge and makes him behave
approximately as he would under or
binary circumstances. A child is first
shown on the screen with startling
realism, tottering across the road in
front OF the car. The chauffeur is, OF
course, expected to handle his car
without an instant's loss OF time, Just
as he would have to do II the emer-
gency rose in real life. This is the
most important test to which the
students are subjected by the Harvard
system.
