HOlD About That Third
Breakfast Gun of Coffee?

In the matter of cutting down the
daily food consumption to a reason
able minimum, why not begin with
coffee? Although coffee is true slim
ulant, it is essentially drug and has
in itself no food value. Its effects in
the main are due to an alkaloid, caf-
feline, which, it is believed, is heart
stimulant.
In a sound, healthy individual,
doses of caffeine equivalent to that
obtained from one cup of strong
coffee produce no noticeable effect
except slight nervousness. Doses
equivalent to one and one-half cups
produce marked unsteadiness in mus
cular and mental work. Doses suffi-
cient to produce any real stimulative
effect raise the blood pressure, some
times dangerously, and stimulate the
action of the kidneys in a manner
considered by physicians to be HARM

Knitting Antidote for Dissension.

| have heard that knitting was good
Tor nerves, that it was a sure cure for
the blues" but the latest virtue that
has been ascribed to it is that it main
tains peace at women's club, meetings.
This is very noticeable at the Ne
braska Federation of Women's Clubs
convention, now in session. Nearly
every woman is industriously plying
her fingers during the programs, and
behold, there is no arguing or dis
sension. Why? Because if one should
stop to discuss point and thereby
lose her mental poise the result would
Be misshapen sweater or muffler,
which would face one accusingly.
49, A prominent club woman who is a
devotee of knitting, says:
~- when you knit you cannot allow
yourself to become provoked. Many
women merely quarrel at convention
because they are nervous. Occupying
the hands relieves stored-up energy,
which always seeks an outlet. At con-
--ventions, heated discussions are often
the only outlet"

HolU important Are

Dayton, O., Oct. 24.-"How impor'
tant a factor is mans wife in his
! success as a money-maker?"
John H. Patterson, president OF the
National Cash Register company, in
tends to know exactly-and he is
looking for the answer in dollars and
cents. He is experimenting along
original lines with his entire sales
| force.
His plan is of interest not only to
the men and women directly affected
but it promises to have far-reaching
results. Already big business men are
writing for particulars and it goes
without saying that women inter-
ested i'll the advancement. of the sex
regard the Dayton experiment as of
great significance for its wide recog-
nition of woman's influence in a bus
mess way.
The experiment had its beginning
last week, when more than 500 wives
I, of sales agents and statesmen of the
National Cash Register company
were brought here from all over the
United States and Canada for a busi-
ness convention. 1t was exclusively
woman's affair, the husbands re-
naming home attending to their reg
ular work.
Learning Business Secrets.
In a series of morning, afternoon
and night sessions the wives were let
into the secrets of the cash register
business. They were told all about
the company's' policy, methods of
selling and profits on sales. They
were taken through the factory to
learn how cash registers are pro-
duced. They we're informed of the
usefulness of the cash register and
the problems with which statesmen
have to deal. And they we're in
structed how to assist their husbands
in becoming better statesmen.
Now that the wives know some
thing about the business from which
the family income is derived, it is pre-
dicted that they will not be satisfied
if their husbands do not earn more
money.
In speaking Of the project, Mr.. Pat
terson said:
: This is my pet convention and !
believe it is the forerunner of a great
change in the position of wife with
relation to her husbands business.
II believe in woman suffrage. I
believe in woman's rights. l believe
that it is highly important not only
to business, but to all the affairs of
life, that women shall have a larger
part in our daily activities.

DINNER is Served
BY GERTRUDE BERESFoRD,

|NNE is reconciled to the threat of
| the hustle when it takes the
~ lovely line of drapery found in
this dinner gown of pink and silver.
Simplicity is the keynote of this frock,
yet artful, indeed, is the draped skirt
embroidered in silver motifs. The
corsage, plain, as the poverbial pipe
stem, gives the perfect outline to the
figure. The neck is softened against
the flesh with flat fold of mousse
line. A becoming decollete is OBJ
tanned by the softly folded collar
which falls to the shoulder points,
where it meets the sleeve, which by
its next-to-nothingness proves that
beauty unadorned is yet adorned the
most. A scarf of pale lavender net
gives another note of dawn to the
pink and silver tints of this gown, and
justifies its name, Aurora"

(By Chas. st..wa,t.)

sssWhila there was a large amount of business transacted and many ad- dresses delivered in the negro Bap- tist state convention at St. Paul Bap- tist chuhch yesterday, yet it was a day of money raising, and discussion of the work of the Arkansas Baptist college, one of the leading institutions in the country for the training of negro. The report of President Jo- s9ph A. Booker, of the college brought before the convention much valuable Information.
 The B. Y. P. U. workers, marched into the convention and put on the table $70O, and said that more would follow before the close of the con ventipp. President Chism said it was tut a slight token from the young people and expressed their desire to do more.
 The first assault on ignol ance and illiteracy was made by Dr. D. c. Nor ris. leader of the negro Baptists in America-in fact. throughout the civ ilized world. He is SO regarded in America and in Europe. For 36 years

This latter has a mem bership and following of two and a half million in the United States, and missionaries are at work in West, Middle and South Africa, under Sec retary l.. c. Jordan.
 War On Ignorance.
 While the civilized country Is at war;" said Dr. Morris, i've as min isters are fighting a battle at the same time. We are waging a war against ignorance, sin, illiteracy and vice. We have won many battle, and while they have been bloodless the conflict has been fierce and many young man and young woman nave been wrenched frdm the clutches of the devil and are now on higher ground. We are struggling to reach the unreached of our own race and make of them law-abiding citizens, to let the. world know where they stand, and let them help to make the world better by them having lived in 1t. Our weapon has been the spir- it sword.
 "I am glad that I am citizen Of Arkansas, a state that is willing to give my people the chance of man. and who did not attempt to protest against men who were willing to go to the front for their country, being trained in the state, but rather ex- tended to the negro a royal welcome, and there is today at Camp Pike peace and harmony among the men. each feeling that soon side by side they must meet the common enemy, and alike they will have to fight him, either kill or get killed.
 This is . superior state, and our people in this state lead the negroes in all parts of the civilized world. The negroes of Arkansas lead the negroes of the world, and there is always has been a friendly feeling be- tween the races here. The better class of both races are too busy for misunderstanding, and trouble is on. ly between the Jim Crow element who cannot be reached and whose lives have unfit them for a soldie1 in the army. The white people and the negroes of this state voted out whiskey and by the help of God we are going to keep it out"
