sioner. We named q judge also and
he was elected but counted out. We
did our part. Now the time is coming
in this ward Of ours, if the Black pop
ulation continues to grow, when they
win be entitled to representation in
the City Council and that time is not
very far OF, if 1 see the trend Of the
times aright, and when the time comes,
and it is possible for US to name a
man from the Black race to represent
this great ward in the City Council,
l will be the first man to advocate it.
1 viii not only be the first man to ad-
voeate it but I will be the first man
to urge upon the organization the en-
dorsement Of a Black man as the rep
resentatiYe Of the republican party
through the organization to rePresen-
tation in the Council. Now 1 don t
think and 1 don't want to be misun-
derstoOd when say this, that q Black
man could be elected now to the Coun-
ell if he was nominated, I may be over
stating the case, but I want to be
frank. 1 don't want to have it all
flowers and laughter, 1 want to state
facts. Now, if my Judgment is right,
it would be folly to nominate a man
that can't be elected. And what
would be the RESULT Suppose you NOM
mate a man and be couldn't be elected
and he was not elected. 1t would put
the cause of the Black people Of this
community, whose friends we are, back
20 years, wouldn't it. Now, when We
nominate a man either for alderman
or for the legislature, or for County
Commissioner, or for any other place,
from the ranks of the Black people of
this community, 1 want to see that man
elected. 1 don't want to see him
merely nominated. 1 want to see him
elected. And when the time comes, as
it undoubtedly will come, that we have
the certainty Of success in the election
after we nominate, the Black people
of this ward win find no better friends
anywhere than the members of this
organization. Now, in saying what 1
have said want to be distinctly un-
derstood as having no word to say
against the man who is running against
Mr.. Norris-not a word. I just want
to drop one thought, and I want you
to take it home with you if you will,
and want you to take it in the most
kindly spirit, for that is what is in
tended. Two White men running for
the Council in this ward. One en-
dorsed by the organization and one
without such endorsement. As be-
tween these two White men I would
have no hesitation in either supporting
the one or opposing the other knowing
that whatever / did would harmonic
itself when the contest was over. Now
1 want the same kind Of a situation
to prevail among the people here,
White or Black. / want these men
to contest as two American citizens,
two citizens of the second ward, and
want every man to forget whether
be is White or Blaek-that there is no
color line. I want Mr.. Cowan to un-
what 1 have said about this
matter and whether Mr.. Cowan or any
Of his friends are with me or against |

Henry P. Bergen, Alderman of the

and apparently has no vigorous oppO-
sition at the primaries and although a
Democrat, his Republican admirers in
the ward are so numerous, it is doubt
full if he will have q very hard fight
at the regular election. Alderman
Bergen has become known as a Council
leader. He is possessed of forensic
ability and nothing Of Importance es-
eapes his attention in the affairs of the
city that is under discussion before the
city council.
He is now finishing his second term
and soon after he was first elected, a
number of his enthusiastic friends de-
eided that he should be honored by
him with a diamond star.
knowledge of this reached the alder
man and he Immediately requested that
his friends should not proceed any fur

A smile in his heart forever.
And wherever he goes a word,
As soft as the tender beauty

A smile for the hearts that ache.

HOW WILD ELEPHANTS
ARE CAPTURED IN INDIA
Hunt Permitted Every Fifth Year.
What Huge Beasts Are Used For.

This is the year of the elephant
battue" in the great forests of Mysore,
India
The hunting Of these gigantic ami.
mails is permitted in India only every
fifth year. On the average from POO
to $50 wild elephants are captured
during the battue season, and these are
trained for the various purposes for
which the Asiatic elephant is used.
In view Of the vast strength pos
sessed by full grown elephants, 1t
seems at first sight almost incredible
that they can be captured in herds,
and quickly subdued to the will of
their masters. At the present time, In
Mysore, the regular methods of cap
turing wild elephants is for a large
number of natives to go into the jun
gle, some mounted on tanned elephants
and many on foot, and to make great
noise and hullabaloo, which results In
driving herds of the wild elephants
into stockades or often into ponds OF
water, which have previously been
surrounded on all sides, except at the
approaches, by immensely strong pal
isades. As soon as the herd Is cornered
the passages that had been left opel
are securely closed. and then the train
ed elephants are brought into play to
caio'e and suhdup he perplexed prison
ers.
In India elephants are no longer cap

IN these traps they are often seriously

is somewhat smaller than the African
and differs from it in other ways, as
for instance in the fact that tusks are

sexes have them in Africa.

MIXED METALS.
Some Of the Curious Results Shown In
Various Alloys.

In the beginning of mans acquaint
ance with metals only the softer ones
such as copper. gold. silver and tin,
were mined and worked up into uten
sils. weapons, etc. 1t was early dis
covered that an alloy of copper and tin
produced reasonably hard metal call
ed bropze, which was suitable for cut.
ting instruments and, although not as
hard as flint, was easier to work and
did not break. Then began the bronze
age Of history.
An alloy is compound of two or
more metals. Alloys generally possess
properties vastly different from the
parent metals. For instance. gold Is
the most ductile of all metals. 1t may
be drawn into the finest wire or beaten
into transparent film finer than the
tninnest tissue, and yet mix the small
est quantity of antimOny with gold and
1t is not ductile at all. Copper and tin
mixed together produce an alloy with
a higher specific gravity than either OF
ITS constituents. and the same weight
will occupy less bulk. Copper and an
timony produce a beautiful violet blue
alloy.
BY mixing together eight parts by
weight of bismuth. five parts of lead
and three parts of grain tin an alloy Is
produced which will melt at so low a
temperature that a spoon made of It
will melt when it is immersed in hot
tea, and yet the melting point of each
of its components is at least twice that
of boiling water.
A small quantity of manganese

The Care of the Teeth.
buffalo Department of Healthy


Systemic infections may be caused
by cavities in the teeth containing
food debris and other decaying mat
ter. All such troubles should re,
ceive immediate attention.
1t is useless to try to save tooth
after it is gone beyond the stage of
repair. Systematic cleaning of teeth
will keep them clean, but it will never
fill a decayed tooth or prevent &C
emulation in the cavities.
Toothache is the tooth's cry of pain.
A clean mouth and clean teeth fur
nish one of the best projections
against disease. A child forced to
swallow the discharges from an un-
clean mouth and having nutrition in
terfered with by his inability to chew
his food is unable to resist disease.
The condition of the teeth is tell
tale as to diet. They are the guards
which stand at the gateway to the
body, ready to divide the food into
manageable portions, to bring peace
of mind and healthful bodily activity.
No greater kill-joy exists than dys-
pepsia, no more vicious menace to
life and efficiency obtains than dis
ordered condition. of the process of
nutrition.
Cancer of the stomach is VIGOROUSLY
a disease of gross feeders. Eighty
per cent. of the cancers of the stom-
ach arise from bolted food. If al
ounce of prevention is ever worth a
pound of cure, it is in keeping the
teeth in good condition.
This problem of dental hygiene is
not altogether one of benevolence. 1t
is in large measure a problem of
economics. Health is needed Tor
great industrial production, Every
case of disease involves an imme-
date economic loss to the community
in which such events occur. There
is coming a great change in the prac-
tice of medicine, surgery and dentls-
try, and a much greater proportion
of the attention of these professions
is hereafter to be devoted to preven-
ton rather than cure.
More than twenty kinds Of bacteria
have been found in the mouth. Most
of them-and probably the worst
are found in defective teeth.
Of such, tuberculosis, pneumonia,
diphtheria, typhoid fever and other
diseases usually have their origin
there.
With an unhygienic mouth as a
culture medium for bacterial growth,
the results can easily be figured out
The food, in its passage through a
germ-laden mouth and chewed full of
the worst kind of bacteria, enters the
stomach and intestines with enough
bad to offset any good, and poisons
the system.
Even with good teeth, bad results
follow if food is permitted to stick
between the teeth. 1t is therefore
essential to remove every particle by
cleaning after each meal.

RED CROSS WAR STAMPS.
Proposed For American Made Goods to
Aid Fund For Wounded.

Acknowledging the receipt Of a sug-
gestion to swell the Red Cross fund
for the wars wounded, made by an
editor of the American Press Associa'
ton, Robert W. De Forest, vice presi'
dent of the American Red Cross so
ciety, says the plan proposed has been
submitted to Miss Mabel L. Boanman,
chairman of the executive committee
of the organization. The Red Cross
society recently sent Il vessel carrying
surgeons and nurses besides com
plete hospital equipment TO minister TO
the wounded in the great armed con.
fict irrespective of nation The money
necessary to perform this great service
to humanity was Forthcoming from
public subscription.
The idea which has been proposed
70 increase this fund is to sell TO man
ufacturcrs in the United States Red
Cross stamps bearing red cross ard
the popular trade slogan, Made IN
America" these stamps to be affixed
70 all American made retail merchan
disc shipped by mail or parcel post OIL
sold over the counter to the purchaser
who carries the goods home.
As has been pointed out to MT. D'
Forest, such Il movement If inaugu
.atpd and made nation wide in scope
is certain to meet with enthusiast,
respouse. 1t would serve tWotolI
purpose. First, it would give merchan

ing, and, second. it would yield Iarg
revenue to the Red Cross fund uSe'
for the humane purpose of keeping
down the awful toll death levies iron
wounds sustained on the battlefield
The success of the Red Cross Christ

done i'm this direction, and Mr. De Fol
