CARNEGIE HEROES.
From an Article Written by Dr.. Book
err T. Washington.

From an Article Written by Dr.. Book
err T. Washington.
Some time ago Dr.. Booker T. Wash
lngton wrote an article about the Car
negle heroes for prominent maya
zine, but supposing more Afro-Amer-
leans would see the accounts if pub
llshed in their papers, copy has been
sent to THE APPEAL, and from time
to time these accounts of Afro-Amer-
lean heroes or whites who have r1sked
their lives for Afro-Americans will be
given.
1t might not be amiss to state that
the last report of the Carnegie Hero
FUND Commission. showed that 2,667
cases have been passed upon by the
commission and 5S3 persons have
been sought QUE and given recognition
because they risked their lives in the
effort to save others from injury or
death. There have been several
awards to Afro-Americans since the es-
Enlistment of the Hero Fund Commits
sion and an account of one of these
will be given weekly. The first is as
follows:
John B. Hill, aged 80, coachman,
rescued Thomas S. Prescott, aged G,
and Florence Williams, aged 21, from
a runaway, Atlanta, Georgia, Deem
Der 1, 1905. BY grabbing the bride
of a runaway team hitched to a landau
containing the child and maid, Hill,
after being dragged some distance,
threw the horse. 1t fell upon him,
breaking the stitches in a wound due
to a recent operation.
Bronze medal and $500 to reimburse
him for pecuniary loss sustained on &C.
count of injuries.

The only Afro-American graduate of
the High Schools of st. Paul this year
is Miss Catherine Beaver Lealtad, and
while it is deplored that there are no
others, it is a source of satisfaction
that she won an honor that never be-

in all her studies for three years and
thereby earned the right to be the

CATHERINE DEAVER LEALTAD
VaIedictorian Mechanic Arts, 1912.
Miss Lealtad took for her subject:
1.-The Value of Poetry" and acquitted
herself nobly.
AS THE APPEAL has said BEFORE
she is petite and pretty and just sweet
sixteen, and has breeding and brains,
surely a winning combination.
She is daughter of Father Alfred
H. Lealtad, rector of St. Philips
church, st. Paul, and St. Thomas, Min
neapolis, and a man of rare education
and culture. Her mother also is high
ly connected and for years was a
teacher in the public schools of Cleve-
land, Ohio. So if heredity counts for
anything it should not be surprising
if Miss Lealtad followed the good ex-
ample of her parents.

JUDGING CONTEST
BY FARMER BOYS.
This Will Be a State Fair Feature
Week Of Sept. GA.

With view of further encourage
ment 10 the farmer boys of Kentucky
to gain scientific knowledge of agri
culture the state Fair management
has again this year made arrange
ments for renewal of the students
Judging contest, which has proved 40
popular In the past. and scholarship
In the agricultural college of the state

Of several classes. The CONTEXT will
consist Of rings for horses. cattle

reached by him.
The contest this year will be under
the personal supervision of Professor

sity, mt Lexington. and 1t is his pur-
pose to devote much of his time from

Of the state in the event. lnasmuch
as the farmer boys Of Kentucky are
proud Of their ability to correctly
judge horse or other farm animal,
much interest Is always manifested In
this contest. and as many applications
for entry blanks have been received

pected that keen rivalry will exist
among several hundred young men

MIDWAY ATTRACTIONS.
To Be Featured at State Fair, Week Of
Sept. eta.


Sept. eta.
The Midway attractions to be fea.
tured at the State Fair this year will
be far and above the average. as it is
the purpose Of the management to pro-
vide only the best for the patrons Of
the Kentucky institution. In order to
carry out such an arrangement Secre-
tary J. l.. Dent will visit the shows
two weeks before the date Of the Ken.
lucky State Fair, which Is the week Of
Sept. OLA, and make a personal inspec.
ton with view of eliminating any
and all unattractive or freak features.
The shows engaged for the Fair are
bined, and this name In itself Is suffi-
cient to guarantee a high class and
clean line of attra ctiOns, but to make
1t d0ubly sure Secretary Dent has
planned the personal Inspection to sat
isfy himself. IT is the purpose Of the
management to provide such line Of
sideshOws that parents can let their
children visit the shows day and night
without the attendance of older men,
bers Of the family.
In order to further carry out this fea-
ture Of the program the management
has contracted with a number Of well
known Kentuckians to be stationed
both on the inside and outside Of each
Of the Midway attractions during the
week to look after the welfare Of the
patrons and to see that nothing is said
or done that would In the least offend
the eye or ear Of any person within
the Enclosure.

BAD FOR THE STOMACH.

Mixed With Grease.
The stomach never has the least pow

the stomach and does not in the least
interfere with the work of the gastric
Juice ON the other food. but when a
non fatty food has been intimately mix
ed with grease the latter prevents the
gastric juice getting at the food 1t
could digest.
Fish fried in oil or butter is by no
means the most marked example. as
the fat does not penetrate very deeply.
Potatoes mashed with butter are rath-
err worse. and minced vegetables fried
with butter are bad offenders. The
reason advanced explains why pork
is difficult of digestion. The muscular
fibers are mixed up with fat cells, and
by the liberation Of the oil In each
tiny cell the eaten pork is made into
an oily paste.
A very strong stomach will do the
work required. but it is not fair task
to impose frequently. and q weak stom-
ach will refuse to do anything beyond
