This little sermon was written be-
cause received, this morning. num-
Der Of letters on the question OF how
a working girl should dress. This Is
one Of the letters:
my Dear Mrs. Gibson:
There have been some remarks
\ passed about the ONCE concerning my
dress. | think am dressing in good
taste and within my means, but for
fear I am wrong. | will come TO you
for advice. . ...
Il am q girl OF Is years and am es-
pecially fond of dainty things, such as
silk stockings, pumps, lacy collars,
etc. | work in a downtown business
office where the girls dress very plain
+ ly, and my salary is just the same as
most of theirs. / would rather deny
myself pleasures and dinners that the
other girls enjoy and buy pretty things
for myself
do you think il is proper for a.
working girl TO wear silk stockings
and low-necked lacy waists TO work, II
Il makes her happy and comfortable
WOhhlNG GLaL'
The girl who works is criticised
about a great many things. but on no
other subject Is she criticised as OIL
ten as the subject of dress.
Every woman thinks, OF course, that
her standard of dress is the best. And
Y II the girl who works would follow
the rules set down by the woman who
does not work she would spend the
money she earns for clothes that
would be uniform OF the plainest
kind at the office. factory or store.
MS 80 easy to tell the other person
what to do
Every normal girl loves pretty
k clothes. And the girl who works six
days week has very few places to
wear them except at the place where
she spends most of her time.
There are some dainty bits OF APP
parel that are not appropriate for an
ONCE. But I am Of the opinion that
& Il is perfectly all right for a girl TO
wear s's dainty and pretty clothes as
she cy.n afford
o.n see no harm in girl wearing

STUFFED DATES NOT
SO HARD TO MAKE

The process OF making s,afiet.
dates is very simple. First remove
the stones and then put In the filing.
The work comes in making the latter.
An agate saucepan should be used 10
cook the filling In. Mix a cupful OF
graduated sugar. about a quarter OF
pint or cold water and half a salt
spoonful OF cream OF tartar and stir
long enough 10 dissolve the sugar.
Then boil II until a tiny bit dropped
INTO cold water forms a soft ball.
Take OF the stove and skim II.
Pour the syrup, now formed, into
a bowl and when Il Is cool enough 80
that the fingers leave a soft dent In
IL when touched stir Il all to a smooth.
white paste with a wooden spoon.
Use the hands when II is too stiff to
move with the spoon.
This filling keeps for weeks. When.
ever you wish 10 use IL set the bowl
In which II Is kept in hot water until
the mixture becomes soft.

HERE'S ANOTHER WAY
TO MAKE BRITTLE

Boil cups Of white sugar, one-half
cup OF water, one-half teaspoon OF
cream tartar and / tablespoon OF but

Add / even teaspoon OF soda and
10 drops OF lemon extract. Turn into

squares with well-buttered knife.

strain II and put about quarter OF
a cupful or 1. over the fire with a
rounc or brown sugar and little
water, Cook this mixture until a
small amount dropped In cold water
will easily become brittle. After that
a tablespoonful OF vinegar should be
added. Boil II up once again and
turn into pans.

 Three high German officers brought the answer back to us in person. They came onto the flagship and said:
 You're not choosing the same grounds we do; we've been following you
 But why do you follow us when we go out for secret prac- tice?' they were asked.
 Why, don't you sec, replied the German officers, we want to see what you are doing. We have no trouble with the United States but if we should have war with you, it would be necessary for us to knew about your tactics.'
 And with that" continued the old seadog, "they bowed very po- litely and went off the ship, without any hard feeling on either side.
 "The reason I cheered for the Bremen was that she was the ship that used to lead that long line of squat bowed German sleuths out to our practice grounds every day"

Want Protection For Birds.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, April 30.-The U. s. Department of Agriculture, which is making a campaign in Arkansas as well as throughout the South especially against the killing of insectivorous birds, an- nounces that the insect pests are destroying annually $800,000,- 900 of the farm products of this country.
 Birds are considered enemies of insect life," says Federal Game Warden E. V. Visart, "our congressman are being flooded with letters from men who care nothing for the agricultural in- ests, but are willing to sacrifice the interests of our farmers that they may be permitted to slaughter the wild life at will, simply to satisfy their desire to ing such an appropriation, but on the other hand, the farmer who is posted as to the value of birds are posting their farms against the killing of scuh birds. harmful migrants for the ben eft of the public in general, also exercise the same jurisdic- tion over beneficial migrants for the benefit of the farmer"
 'It would be a blow to the ag- ricultural interest of this coun- try should congress cut off the small appropriation offered for the protection of bird life.
 ''If the federal government can exercise jurisdiction over harmful immigrants for the ben eft of tn epubic in general, then in legal principle it can also exercise the same urisdic- tion over harmful migrants for the benefit of the public in gen. eral, then in legal principle it can also exercise the same jur- isdiction over beneficial mi grants for the benefit of the far mer."

Refuses Writ of ErrOr.

Little Rock, April 29.-The United States Supreme court has refused to grant a writ of error on an appeal of the case of l. D. Mcclure vs. Topf & Wright in which the supreme court of Arkansas decided that the Going Liquor law is constitutional, &C., cording.t to word received here to- day. This means that the Unit ed States Supreme Court refuses to pass on the decree of the Ar kansas court.
 The court refused to grant the writ allowing the case to be brought before it on two grounds. The first was that the negro race had not raised the question of being denied consti- tutional rights and the other was that the decree of the Ark ansas supreme court was not fi- nal, as it reversed and remand ed the case for a new trial.
 The case was appealed from the Third Division of the Pulas- Xxi circuit court and was the outgroWth of the Argenta liq- uor petition. The liquor inter- ests were represented by J. w. House and Joe House, Jr., while the prohibitionists were repre- sented by Isgrig and Cannon.
 The refusal of the supreme court to grant the writ means that unless the negroes raise the question of their denial of rights under the constitution, the case cannot be taken before the Unit ed States court because it does not constitute a constitutional question.

STOMACH TROUBLES
M. Ragland Writes Interesting
 Letter on This Subject.

Madison Heights, Va.-Mr. Chas. 4. Ragland, of this place, writes; "I have been taking Thedford's Black Draughi for indigestion, and other stomach troub- les, also colds. and find 1t to be the very best medicine l have ever used.
 After taking Black-Draught for a few days, always feel like a new man."
 Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain in pit of stomach, and feeling of fulI- ness after eating, are sure symptoms of stomach trouble, and should be given the proper treatment, as your strength and health depend very largely upon your food and its digestion.
 To get quick and permanent relief from these ailments, you should take a medicine of known curative merit.
 Its 75 years of splendid success, in the treatment of just such troubles, proves the real merit of Thedford's Black Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action, and without bad after-effscts, it is sure to benefit both young and old. For saIe everywhere. Price 25c. Nclz.

German Ship That Watched. United Press Telegram.

United Press Telegram.
 Vera Cruz, Mexico, April 29- When the old German warship, Bremen-nothing more than a scout ship, now owing to her age F.steamed into Vera Cruz har- bor among the Yankee gunboats the other day, many and many a cheer of recognition went up from some of the old Yankee sea dogs.
 What are you cheering her for?" an old Yankee captain was asked.
 Reminds me of a funny in- cident," he answered. "When we were off China during the Boxer trouble, we lay for weeks, in the combined navy, without any thing to do. Finally the admiral took it into his head that we ought to have practice. To our surprise, as our ships steamed away, the German Warships in the harbor swung around and followed us. Go where we would that day, we couldn't shake them. They hung on in a long, solid, stubborn line.
 "The next day we were ordered out again and again the Germans with stubborn persistence, fol- lowed us, never going faster or slower than we did. After four days of this, we got mad and the American officers sent over to the German ships note in which they said they were sorry that they always chose the same grounds on which the Germans
