Refuse To Meet In Memphis Philadelphia, June 15—Because of the recent brutal lynching of Bill Parsons, at Memphis, Tenn., the forthcoming annual meeting of the National Medical Association will not be held in that city, but in Philadelphia. It was so decided at a conference held here last Friday, and local physicians, dentists and pharmacists have already begun to make great preparations for the sessions, which will be held here on August 28, 29, 30. Many of the members of the Association did not want to go to Memphis after they read of the horrible lynching. This reluctance was very much heightened, when the heard that the lynchers threw the head of their victim into the meeting of the Infant City Medical Association, the members of which were planning to make the prospective stay of the visiting physicians a pleasant and profitable one. Some of the members at once communicated with Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersy City, advising that the Memphis session be held somewhere else. Dr. Cannon then canceled the Tennessee city's selection. Dr. Cannon is the chairman of the executive committee of the National Medical Association and his action has not only met the approval of his committee and the officers of the Association, but the great body of members. Dr. Cannon wrote a letter to the Mayer of Memphis advising him that the Association had planned to meet their through his invitation and that of the Business Men's Association and that the resounding of the acceptance was due to the action of the mob. He also said: We deeply regret this step as the cooled physicians of Memphis and country are among the ablest of the men in our association. We are hoping that the day will come when white and colored people will dwel together in peace and harmony, and that the tenacity of the law will be supreme in all cases and mob violence a thing of the past. "We had made great preparations for a grand convention in Memphis and it only means a disappointment to many of us who had looked forward with pleasure to meeting in your city." Philadelphia has entertained the National Medical Association before. The visitors will be the guests of the Academy of Medicine and Allied Sciences of Philadelphia and the Northern Medical Association, the latter being composed of members of the profession in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and the New England States.

Tansson of New York City and the Alumni address by Dr. C. A. Wingfield of Mason, Ga., the 31st annual commencement exercises of Morris Brown College closed one of its most successful years. A remarkable increase in enrollment was reported in the college and normal department and diplomas given by students college degrees from the theological school from the normal four from the commercial and twenty-four from the various industrial divisions.

Jones, Little Books, Arkansas, Bishop John Hursin, Patterson, Md. and upon Peterdy C. Hanson, the honorary degree of doctor of nuns was conferred. Morris Brown College begins its next year's work with the same splendid faculty of young men and women, all of whom from president down were re-elected. Dr. W. A. Pountain, president has done remarkable work since he has been here and has brought the school up to a commanding position in Negro school life. In this connection he has had the elite assistance of Bishop J. S. Flipper, Bishop Flipper who purchased the splendid library of the late Bishop H. M. Turner, gave the library, books and pictures to Morris Brown College. Fair Harav Informary, worth approximately twelve thousand dollars, and the only hospital in the city to which Negro physicians has had free access, a department of Morris Brown College, was completely destroyed by the recent conflagration in Atlanta.

'AFRO' SELLS $1700 WORTH OF BONDS 'AFRO' SELLS $1700 WORTH OF BONDS With the entire country in the throes of a vast effort to show their loyalty to Uncle Sam by their contributions to his two billion dollar Liberty Loan, the Afro-American, the little like in being asked, jumped into the fray, and appended to its loyal subscribers through a front page advertisement in last week's issue, to rally to the cause of justice and liberty by taking up as many bonds as their small earnings would permit. The result was surprising and almost beyond our highest expectations, for in the four days following the expiration of the paper to the expiration of the time for subscribing the bonds, the colored citizens of this city, through the colored citizens alone, more than one thousand three hundred dollars. And we are very sure that an equal amount has been pigged thru other channels as a direct Result of the efforts made in this direction. The amount of the subscriptions as well as the varied classes of citizenry who formed the personnel of the contributors, is conclusive proof of the fact that the Colored American is no "slacker," and just of all, unpatriotic. It shows that he is as willing to give of his mongre means as he is of his life's blood. The only secret the Afro-American has, is that the idea of taking this means of helping its country did not materialize sooner in the minds of the managers of the Liberty Loan issue in this city.

Russell of but Pine street, is spending hours each day assisting in the recruiting of colored men in the United States Army. When in 1861 the order went out to organize colored regiments, the late General Charles S. Russell. Then colored of the Eleventh United States Industry, was detailed to recruit a regiment at Indianapolis, Ind. Mrs. Russell, a bride of but a few months, accompanied him to the Houston capital and became actively engaged in recruiting the regiment. "I am quite certain that the regiment we raised in Indiana was the first regiment of colored men to go into active service," said Mrs. Russell. "General Russell commanded the regiment and it served through the war. I accompanied my husband and saw the regiment after each of the battles in which it fought, and my respect for colored soldiers became firmly fixed by the showing the regiment made. "We were with Grant at Petersburg, and no regiment ever fought more bravely or harder for the flag than did the one commanded by General Russell." Mrs. Russell will spend the summer in Connecticut, but before leaving for New England will recruit as many colored men for the army as possible. EXPECTS APPOINTMENT. Washington.

Two hundred and six men from the Department of the East, compiling the States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia gathered at the capital, in order to make the trip West on a special train of eight day coaches provided for them by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Delegations from New York, consisting of eightteen men; Baltimore 19 men; Philadelphia 25 men, found their way to Washington at an early hour and were joined by seventy-three men from the District of Columbia, including 15 students and eight teachers from Howard University. Following a mass meeting and reception at the Lincoln Temple church last night, where Captain Van Horn, delegated by the War Department, spoke of the serious work ahead of the men and urged them to stick to it and make good; a crowd, that entirely filled the big station, gathered before nine o'clock. Cheers and yells, laughter and tears brought the first touch of war closer to those who had relatives and acquaintances among the rookies. Most of the men, who are taking the three month's training, received notification from the War Department, Monday morning, and the others Monday.-Rearmoon. The notification stated that the applicant, and been designated by the Department of the East for training with the Four Officers Camp to be held at Fort Des Moines.

[Portrait of a man in formal attire, with a serious expression.] EISEE OF JOHN HURST Who has been elected a trustee of Howard University, succeeding Bishop Alexander Waiters, who died last February. Bishop Hurst is prominent in the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and has charge of the Florida work of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Washington, June 14—White Southmen, alarmed at the heavy migration of the colored peoples North and West, have collated. it is said, the aid of the Southern Railway in an effort to prevent the same. The railway, which has its headquarters here, traverses a large section of that part of the South from which the colored people have been loading by hundreds in order to escape prescriptions and secure better living, working living and service conditions in the North and West. The Southern Railway proposes aiding the movement to stem the tide of emigration. it is said, by immediately discontinuing the assembling, holding and using extra passenger and baggage cars for labor movements and to otherwise discourage the exodus in a lawful way. Representatives of the traffic and development departments have received instructions to wage a campaign among colored ministers and other race leaders telling them that the white South is the Negro's "best friend" and that he should remain in the South where he is known said, understood. The instructions given out by the railway, follow in part: "We should endeavor in each community to have some man make it his special business to interest the Negro presidents and have them take strong ground against the people of their race being hired away by promise of higher wages in other sections, pointing out that any advantage the Negro might get by moving away would almost invariably be temporary and that in the long run it will be to his advantage to stay in the South where he be known and where his labor will always be in demand." No word is said about trying to secure better working and civil conditions for colored people should they remain in the South. WANTS ENTER HOSPITALS Assisting that colored people of this city and state were involuntarily giving televised to whites, Health Commissioner Blake scored the lack of hospital facilities for colored people this week. He also criticized that the variety of cases of epidemic pneumonia was among colored people. Better housing the establishment of small towns and increased hospital facilities are some of the means monitored by him for learning the dangers. It is probable that the state will be asked next winter to provide adequate hospital facilities for Negro consumptives. The state maintains a hospital for colored insane at crownville, and the doctors and nurses are all white. White female nurses were advertised for several weeks ago. A committee of the Maryland Tuberculosis Association, composed of Des. Henry Earion Jacobs, J. Hall Pleasants, C. Hampson Jones and H. Wirt Steele, will make the following recommendation to the legislature: "That a special hospital for Negro consumptives be created in connection with one of the existing institutions or as a separate unit, provided that for the period of the war the same be used exclusively for the care of invalided white soldiers and soldiers by arrangement with the War and Navy Department should emergency require." The recommendation, it will be noticed, makes no mention of the care of colored soldiers and sailors should the emergency require. PRICE THREE CENTS BIG CROWD HEARS BURLEIGH SING A crowd between twelve and fourteen hundred masked Bethel A. M. B. Church, David Hill avenue and Larvaile street, Monday night, when the Cosmopolitan Choral society present, Harry T. Burleigh, of New York, soloist in the Jewish Synagogue, Torbelle Benman and the St. George Episional Church, in recital. There were selections by the Aphion Glue Club, Mr. Melvin Charlton, of New York, on the organ, and the Choral Society, but the centre of attraction was Mr. Burleigh, who recently was awarded the Spingarn medal for excellence as a singer and composer. Accompanied by Mr. Charlton at the piano, Mr. Burleigh sang the Prologue of *Laglacchi*, an opera by Leonavalle, the "Trumpeter," by Arlie Dix, now being used extensively as a recruiting song; in England, Coleridge-Taylor's "Corn Song," and "Danny Deser" by Marrison. Into this last number, the singer put the full volume of his burleigh voice, rich and melodious despite his fifty-one years, until the house was taken by storm. The plaque did not cease until Mr. Burleigh appeared again and sang an enchore. Most of the audience called for his song "The Young Warrior" which is causing such a sensation throughout Italy, and were rather disappointed to find out that he did not bring the music with him. Before singing his last songs, Mr. Burleigh spoke for a few minutes about Folk songs: "Negro Folk Songs, or plantation melodies, as they are sometimes called, are not the soie, but the most beautiful expression of experience in some this side of the Atlantic. I know whether or not I should aguisege for singing them before this audience, but in my annual trips with the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, in the interest of Tuskegee Institute, audiences in Boston and Cleveland criticised me severely for singing these songs before white people. "of perhaps they did it because they connected it with ragtime, which is the old plantation melody carrified and debased. Every race is proud of its Folk-songs. The Negro is not proud because they are associated with the so-called 'coon' songs. Some say these melodies are not American, but they are indigenous to the soil. They are the experience in songs of the people, who were in America, when Bahona discovered the Pacific Ocean. If the Negro is not American, I do not know who is. These songs are our heritage, and ought to be preserved, studied and idealized. "I have given the songs the melodies that they had in former times. There is a rhyme about them that is unmistakable, but I hope you will still remember that they are spirituals." This time his own accompanist, Krystlefried songs is arranged for Giving Love Song, "Dig My Glove Love and Nappoon," as it is sung in the Bahama Islands. "Simmer Don't let de Harves Poss," frequently used as a revival song in Tennessee, and "Don't Feel No Ways Tired." The Cosmopolitan Choral Society, directed by Roy. Charles R. Gaworth, also sang "Father Abraham" and "Deep River" as arranged by Mr. Burleigh. The Society, however, did its best work in the tradition of Dott's "Listen to the Lombus" especially the chorus. The blending of the voices and the modulations in this piece drew an appalling appalachian Name of the other number Haydav of the Heavens are Telline" and Dott's "Music in the Mine" approached this Grass in another in precision and finish. The organisation is a new and certainly gave evidence of a promising career before it.

Nuxated Iron to Make New Age of BeautifulWomenandVigorousIronMen Say Physicians—Quickly Puts Roses Into the Cheeks of Women and Most Astonishing Youthful Vitality Into the Veins of Men—It Often Increases the Strength and Endurance of Delicate, Nervous, "Run-Down" Folks 100 Per Cent. in Two Weeks' Time. Opnlions of Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City; Dr. Howard James; Late of the Manhattan State Hospital of New York, and formerly Assistant Physician Brooklyn State Hospital, and Wm. R. Kerr, Former Health Commissioner, City of Chicago. NEW YORK, N. Y.—Since the remarkable discovery of organic iron, Nuxated Iron or "Fer Nuxate" as the French call it has taken the country by storm. It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually are taking it in this country alone. Most astonishing results are reported from its use by both physicians and laymen. So much so that doctors predict that we shall soon have a new age of far more beautiful, rosy-checked women and vigorous iron men. Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author, when interviewed on this subject, said: "There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor means anemia. Anaemia means iron deficiency. The skin of an anemic woman and women is pale; the fresh skin. The muscles lack tone; the skin and the memory after they become weak, nervous, irritable, dependent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women the roses go from their cheeks. "In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tiapoia, sago, farina, degerminated cornmeal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods and silly food in home cookery, and in which the waste in which our vegetables are cooked, are responsible for another grave iron loss. "Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt." "Former Health Commissioner, Wm. R. Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says: 'I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and experienced its health-giving, strength-building effect, and in the interest of public welfare, I feel it my duty to make known the results of its use. I am well past three score years and want to say that I believe my own great physical activity is largely due to my personal use of Nuxated Iron. From my experience with Nuxated Iron, I feel it is such a valuable remedy that it ought to be used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician in this country." Dr. E. Snuer, a Boston physician who studied both in this country and in great European medical institutions, said: "As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders." "Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact, a young man he really was not understanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron—Nuxatoid Iron had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health; at 46 he was careworn and nearly all in. Now at 50 after taking Nuxatoid Iron, a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without Dr. Mugatil Sov (Brit.) his son the man 23 years ago King CHESAPEAKE STEAMSHIP COMPANY YORK RIVER LINE is, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it and, as a consequence, you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next, take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxed iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous patients were all lying in the white double their strength and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. Dr. Schuyler C. J. Causes, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City, said: "I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication, as I ordinarily do not believe in it. But in the case of Nuxatred iron I feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention it. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy." Dr. Howard James, late of the Manhattan State Hospital of New York, and formerly Assistant Physician, Brooklyn State Hos- pital, said: "Nuxated Iron is a most surprising remedy. A patient of mine remarked to me (after having been on a six weeks' course of it): 'SAY, DOCTOR, THAT THERE STUFF IS LIKE MAGIC.' Previous to using Nuxated Iron I had been prescribing the various mineral salts of iron for years, only to meet complaints of discolored teeth, disturbed digestion, tied-up, hardened secretions, etc., when I came across Nuxated Iron, an elegant ingenious preparation containing organic iron, which has no destructive action on the teeth—no corrosive effect, no irritating effect, no assimilated into the blood and quickly makes its presence felt in increased vigor, snap and staying power. It enriches the blood, brings roses to the cheeks of women and is an unfailing source of renewed vitality, endurance and power to men—who burn up too rapidly their nervous energy in the strenuous strain of the great business competition of the day." NOTE: Nunzelstir, which is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not only the most effective drug for it, but it is well known to drupease and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and the United States, but not in India, easily assimilated, not injure the skin, make them black, not impact the stomache on the teeth, and is not used for nervous, run-down conditions. The manufacturers have such great confidence in nursing facilities that they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron, and in cases where the patient is ill, if they cannot, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double the cost of the treatment it is dispensed in this city by all good drupease. geome ODD PELLOWS IN AER Rens fin JIE TEC Fllowes ainenese se onduving whure hey wimg At she Teeent muuecing sof Fe Hynes.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES FAXABLE IN ADVANCE One Year - - - One Dollar Six Months - - - Fifty Cents Three Months - - Forty cents Unusually edifying to see one of the leading ministers directing effectively a choral society. The Harford Courant is of the opinion that President Wilson's inability to see the need of a real Democracy in America, especially with reference to the application of his ideals to the race problem, indicates that the President is "blind in one eye." It does now appear why his classes can be of little benefit. The system of allowing visitors other than relatives to see the Joliet Illinois prisoners is likely to be discontinued because several white women have persisted in calling on colored men. Perhaps here lies the reason for their imprisonment. --- The Chicago Day Book (white) in commenting on the recent labor troubles in East St. Louis, Illinois, urges the white unions to organize the colored workman. It adds, that "the Negro must live as well as any other person, and if he cannot work in the union he will work outside the union." Dr. Schieffelein, of New York says that the migration of workmen from the south is harmful, because the South cannot get along without them. This is only true, he continues, because conditions in the South do not seem to appeal to the foreigner, who refers to settle in the North and West." The migration seems to prove that colored Americans are getting to have as much sense as foreigners. A correspondent of Jacksonville, Florida, now in the North, seeking a new home writes to the Afro-American an incident he witnessed before leaving: On Tuesday, May 25th, at a late hour of night, a neighbor, Walter Robinson, 35 years of age, was chased from his home for some trivial offence. In the effort to escape he was forced to run into a nearby branch. So-called police officers first made him get down and say his prayers, beat him. The head until he was insoluble, severed his head from his body, and then themselves carried his body to an undertaker. Do you suppose there will be any arrest? Immediately our correspondent and six others left Florida and are now at work at Sparrows Point. PRAISE FOR C. C. S. Mr. Harry T. Burleigh's words of encouragement and commendation of the chorus work of the Cosmopolitan Choral Society ought not to be quick-ly forgotten. This is especially true since the renditions of the Society included two songs written by Mr. Burleigh himself. He reminded the society and the audience that they should not expect a performance too highly artistic from a group of singers but recently organized, and added that only experience and not material was lacking. With such direct and unveiled praise as this the Cosmopolitan Choral Society ought to feel inspired sufficiently to continue its good work and form a permanent choral organization in the city. Baltimore needs them. The fourteen hundred people who crowded Bethel Church Monday night expressed this in their appreciative reception. For what they have accomplished thus far, Dr. Stewart and his singers deserve a vote of thanks. We hope they have come to stay. WHY LIBERIA ENTERED THE WAR. Some Americans have felt that the little republic of Liberia entered the war in order to be in style. Germans have the opinion that the United States, Liberia's protector forced her into the struggle on the side of the Allies. The New York Evening Post publishes the following Washington dispatch: Germans were more numerous than any other nationality in Liberia before the war, and controlled the greater part of that country's foreign trade. Consequently, upon the outbreak of hostilities, the British and French, having satisfied themselves that the Germans were actively aiding the Berlin Government in the war and had established wireless stations on the coast through which they were communicating with German submarines and raiders on the trace routes on the South Atlantic, sought in vain to induce the Liberian Government to get rid of these Germans, and then, as a compulsory measure, withdrew all their merchant ships from the Liberian war. As there were practically no other available ships, Liberian numbers were immediately checked, and in a short time the country was in a deplorable financial condition, halfstarved and unable to pay the accrued interest on its debt. It thus seems literally true that the England and France forced Liberia into the war. Had Liberia's credit been good, she might have weathered the pressure for some little while. As it is, she had to declare war or face ruin. When the Atlanta fire was at its height, and for a day or two immediately after, racial antipathies were forgotten, and all the citizens, white and colored, worked together shoulder to shoulder to save what effects that could be saved, and to render aid to those who needed it most. For once in Atlanta anyhow, folks helped first and thought of color later or not at all. However it only lasted a little while. With all immediate danger and distress over, the city of Atlanta, which distributes its supplies through a committee at the Auditorium Armory, closed both front entrances to the colored people in need of aid, and opened up a door in the side alley which stands marked "Entrance for colored people." Too bad Col. Charles E. Young is not to be in charge of the Reserve Officers Training Camp at Des Moines. Colonel Charles C. Ballou, of the Infantry arm, recently on duty at the War College at Washington, has been ordered to report to the Central Department for assignment to duty at the camp. It is presumed that he will have charge. "The officers are confiscating much whiskey, but there is much more that they are not confiscating," says the Richmond Planet. Just what kind of proposition the officers are up against can be seen from the following: Below the State line two men were taken from a freight car suspected of pan-handling liquor. One of the men wore an ingenious coat fitted with eighteen pockets for individual half-pint flasks. No whiskey was found on the outside of the men, although they were plainly under the influence of a "stronger than water beverage." NEXT?? The opening of the camp for the training of colored officers at Fort Des Moines Iowa, appears to be the first step in utilizing colored men for the war. The registration of all citizens of whatever race for conscription is an indication that a proportionate number of men from 21 to 31 will comprise the Army sent to France. During the past week, a third step growing out of the former two, was inaugurated by the Medical Society, (white) of the District of Columbia. At a meeting held at the Central High School under the auspices of this society, to which colored members are not eligible, colored physicians were invited. Speakers included Vice President Marshall, Representative Kahn, of California, author of the draft bill, and Colonel T. J. Godwin, of the English Royal Medical Corps. Application cards for commissions in the Medical-Reserve Corps of the United States were handed out, and both white and colored urged to sign them and return them to the War Department. Those accepted will be commissioned first lieutenants in the service with a salary of $2000 per year. An unofficial word from the War Department states that two hundred colored physicians will be needed to accompany the colored troops. Until this year there have been no colored surgeons commissioned in the United States Army. The reason therefore has been purely social. Some statistics of the British physicians activity in the war as given by Colonel Godwn at the meeting above referred to are enlightening as to the present anxiety to push the social bar aside and accept colored doctors. According to the Colonel, 60,000 medical officers have been lost by Great Britian since the war began. Twelve per cent of those who left England have been killed. There is now in England only one doctor for every 5,000 of population. Both England and France are seriously embarrassed in their care of the sick and wounded, and would be in an even more critical situation were it not for the surgical units that the American Red Cross has been sending the Allies since the beginning of the war. The Allies are looking to America to furnish her quota of medical men as well as soldiers for cannon fodder. So it goes. The artillery corps and the aeroplane corps are yet closed to colored applicants. As the war goes on, and losses begin to increase, these branches will fall into line and start recruiting in the colored sections. CHILDREN'S DAY AT ALLEN Children's Day was richly celebrated at Allen A. M. E. Church last Sunday. In the morning the pastor, Rev. C. H. Stepteau preached a sermon to the children on "Christianity in the Home." In the afternoon the little ones rendered a splendid program under the leadership of Mrs. Katherine Miller, assistant primary superintendent.zAt the close of this service the little tots and the grown-ups beering over four hundred, took their annual march through the small streets and with beautifully inscribed cards invited the wayward ones to the church and Sunday School. They were led by the Pastor, superintendent and all the officers and teachers. Each child carried an American flag and a bouquet of reses. At the night service Dr. Stepteau expressed himself as highly elated at the great work being done in the school. The school will hold its annual picnic at Brown's Grove next Thursday. AFRO-AMERICAN. SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1917. Race Makes Good Showing In Registration Race Makes Good Showing In Registration Despite the fact that the Negro is proscribed against all over the country, returns from the registration for possible army service show the race neck and neck with other elements of the population. This was especially true in the South, where the race is disfranchised and otherwise greatly discriminated against. The total registration reported up to last Monday morning was 5,808,955 citizens and alien. Of these 728,955 were colored. This is considered a fine showing for the race, when one considers that the Negro forms only about one-ninth of the population, while in the registration he gave more than one-eighth of the total. Out of a total of 120,458 registered in Maryland, 22,655 were colored. This shows the colored people as contributing more than one-sixth. If 912 alien enemies and 7,387 other alliens are subtracted from the aggregate number, the colored people are nearly one-fifth of the native and naturalized citizens registered. The colored people had 11,383 on the books out of a total of about 59,000 in Baltimore city. The indicated requests for exemptions show that the colored people were not as eager to escape army service as were out in Illinois, with about 50 precincts missing last Saturday. The colored people had 20,957 in the total of 629,659. There were 90,519 aliens. DOWN VARDAMANI where James K. Vardaman rose to political power by inveighing against the colored people having voting and other rights, 74,579 colored were registered and 64,334 whites. There were only 612 allies listed. This state has a population of colored in excess of the whites. In Alabama, which has recently lost thousands of colored people through migration Northward, the colored people had 69,950 out of a total of 179,828. The total includes 1,263 aliens. In Tennessee, where a large number of colored men vote, a nearly complete report gives 44,170 colored in a total of 87,524. There were '1,108 aliens. Virginia reports 58,563 colored in a total of 181,826. There are 2,754 aliens. In West Virginia, where suffrage is universal, out of a total of 127,409, there were 11,872 colored. The aliens numbered 12,875. There were 554 colored in a total enrollment of 221,401 in Wisconsin, while Vermont only 77 colored among 27,958. Rhode Island had 967 among 48,478 and Little Delaware reported 3,251 colored in a tour registration of 21,864. The District of Columbia had 10,000 colored in an aggregate of 32,550. Down in North Carolina thousands of Negroes so willingly registered that newspapers all over the state praised them. In one town a colored ministrel company playing at a theater wanted to be listed there, fearing that there may be some delay in the mailed certificates reaching their respective home towns. Additional figures bring a total of colored registered up to nearly 800,000. New York state had a total of 1,026,573, of whom 18,954 were colored. The alien-list included a number of West Indians.

FRESH AIR WEEK FOR COLORED CHILDREN JULY 2-6, 1017 Grocery Showers and Street Fairs Crops destroyed at Farm by recent storm, made the members of the Circle decide at their meeting last week to have a Fresh Air Week at which time special efforts will be made to collect groceries, cereals and toys. This Circle has proven a great blessing to the poor children who would not get out of the hot city; by sending them to the Fresh Air Farm, where a happy week is spent, amid pleasant surroundings. Before Monday meeting, July 2 a number of men will hold street fairs and solidi groceries in each section of the city. It is earnestly hoped everybody will help a little, Sunday Schools, Christian Endeaver Societies and Epworth Leagues are asked to help make this week a great success. Ask Governor For Regiment of Soldiers Ask Governor For Regiment of Soldiers With the Government using every effort to register every man of military age in the country and then going after the shuckers because they are not registered, it looks a little strange that men should be forced to the point where they have to petition the governor of the state for the privilege of enlisting at the country's call. And yet this is exactly what is true. The First Separate Company has been in existence for so long, that today its captain, (Captain Spencer,) is the ranking captain in the state. Had he had the good fortune to have been born in any other country than the United States he would in all probability be today a brigadier general, instead of a mere captain. Now the colored citizens, anxious to do their "bit" have petitioned Governor Harrington for permission to add to the First Separate Company a sufficient number of men to make it a regiment. As far as we have been able to learn, up to the present the permission has not been given. The petition follows: "Honorable Emerson C. Harrington Governor of Maryland. "The undersigned citizens of the State of Maryland, most respectfully petition your Excellency to recommend to the Legislature when it convenes on June 12th, 1917, the formation and equipment of a colored regiment for the State of Maryland. "The colored citizens of this State have ever been loyal to the State and nation and have always been patriotic enough to serve the government when ever given an opportunity to do so in order that the principles for which this nation stand might live. "We respectfully represent that the First Separate Company, whose captain is the ranking officer of this State, has faithfully and honorably served this State for a number of years, and we have no doubt that a recommendation from you to the Legislature suggesting that this Company be directed to recruit a sufficient number of colored citizens for the organization of a colored regiment will be favorably acted upon." LUNCHON A lunchoon was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Carter, 1431 Myrtle avenue on Tuesday evening, June 12, in honor of Mrs. Luke Foote Craig, of New York city. The guests were: Mrs. Mawell Foote, Mrs. Charles Cohen, both of Massachusetts; Mrs. Mac. Fenwick, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rice, Miss Bula Stertrette, Miss Beatrice Hall, Mr. Arthur Stertrette, Mr. John Dyson. A very pleasant evening was spent by all present. BAPTISTS MEET AT SHILOH Baptist ministers and laymen from all parts of the State gathered at Shiloh Baptist Church this week to attend the 17th annual session of the Cooperative Baptist convention of Maryland. The Sunday School auxiliary held its meeting on Wednesday and the meeting of the women was held Thursday. Reports from standing committees and ministers occupied the attention of the convention Friday morning. Mrs. Martha Baker spoke of the projected home for old folks. Revs. William M. Alexander, Jas. R. Diggs, and Daniel G. Mack were among those who delivered addresses before the body. A mass meeting for Sunday Schools will conclude the convention Sunday afternoon. The Baptist Young People's Union held sway and Tuesday was devoted to the work of the convention proper. The address of welcome was delivered by Rev. W. W. Allen, pastor of the church, while the response was delivered by Dr. E. M. Boyle. The annual address of the president, Dr. P. Carter Neal, was a minute review of the work during the past year. He took occasion to refer touchingly to the serious illness of Dr. A. Brown the venerable president emeritus of the convention. Rev. R. B. Ward of Ironsides, M.D., presented the introduction and Rev. R. T. Reed the conventional sermon. The following officers for the ensuing year were elected: Revs. P. C. Neal, president; W. W. Allen, first vice president; C. Z. Parker, second vice president; William M. Alexander, treasurer; G. B. Lockhart, corresponding secretary; Mr. J. Arthur Jones, recording secretary. Thomas F. Jones was elected president of the Sunday School Auxiliary. GALILEAN FISHER- MEN IN SESSION Union State Grand Tabernacle No. 1, met in its 61st annual session on Monday, June 4, 1917, at Galilee Fishermen's Hall, 411 W. Biddle St. The session was called to order at the sound of the gavel by the Union State Grand Ruler, Frank A. Carter. Devotional exercises were conducted by the chaplain. The session was one of the best held for years. The reports from the various tabernacles and the grand officers showed the order to be in a prosperous condition both financially and numerically. The officers were elected for the year as follows: state grand ruler, Frank A. Carter, Baltimore; deputy grand ruler, James Sewell, Calvert county; associate ruler, Florence Peach; conductress, Edith Chester; orator, Theodore Kess; chapman, O. L. Green; marshal, George W.

Miss Susie Wyatt, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Wm. Jefferson, of 1106 Argyle avenue, has returned to her home in Virginia. Mrs. Theresa Briscoe Stewart has resigned her position as directress of St. Barnabas' Church choir. Attorney Clarke L. Smith, who has been confined to his home, 1805 Druid Hill avenue with a sever eattack of grip, is able to be out again. The wedding of Mr. Levin Fortune Parker and Miss Amelia Hunt, will take place Wednesday, June 20th, at eight o'clock at the home of the bride. The Fortnightly Which Club held a shirt-waist dance at the Pythian Castle on Thursday evening, which marked the closing of that organization for the summer season. Mr. J. H. Howard and Miss Christine Parker, of Cooksville, were in the city this week enroute to the State Normal School at Bowie, where Miss Parker's brother is one of the graduates. Mr. Carl J. Murphy, of Washington, was in the city this week as the guest of his father, J. H. Murphy. Young colored men who want to receive instruction in some branches of military science may do so in a number of summer schools, including those at the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A letter to those schools will bring any information desired. NURSES TO GRADEATE The annual commencement of the Nurses Training School of Provident Hospital, will be held at the Macedonia Baptist Church, Tuesday, June 26th, at 8 o'clock. Addresses will be delivered by Dr. W. H. Montague, Rev. Moore, the financial agent of the institution, President John Rich of the Board of Directors and Dr. Harry F.

Adams, the famous evangelist, will deliver a special sermon at Grace Presbyterian Church on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, subject "Woman, the Eternal Obligation: Miss Charlotte Davage, President E. M. Wilson, Secretary. Some young women in Western Maryland decided the other day that these are times for doing things rather than talking about them, so decided to organize themselves into a branch of the American Red Cross. They held a meeting, had a prominent Red Cross worker to speak for them, and following the talk they elected officers, and planned to receive instructions in first aid to the injured. It is up to every one of us to do his or her part to make life worth while, as the old saying says "It's no difference whether you or I. It's big pig, little pig, root hog or die." Not very elegant is it? But nevertheless true. The fact of the matter is that each one of us must have a heart for something if we hope to be something worth, while. These women have no doubt concluded that if our men have to fight then they should prepare to do their part by learning how to care for them in their hour of need, and that now is the time to prepare. Now-a-days drones are not wanted, the man or woman who is a weakling who "toils not neither do they spin finds himself pushed to a side, not wanted, crowded out. Gentleman of leisure are labelled not wanted. In these strenuous times as you know, every living creature nas to root for a living or die. Of course there is lots of talking being done in these stirring times but it is encouraging to discover that it is not all talk, and that one is getting results. He was a shabby genteel sort, this fellow I saw and heard utter an ultimatum that he has seen fit to keep, born genteel and rendered shabby by the bars over which his dimes and nickels have poured in a steady stream for years. He was holding up a corner as usual when he suddenly decided that he wanted another drink; he started to cross the street without looking where he was going and pulled up short right in the road of an automobile that was noiselessly gliding up the hill, bewildered for the moment he was undecided which way to turn, when the automobile stopped so close to him that for the moment he thought he was hit, but he was suddenly brought to his senses by some one in the auto saying "You fool nigger can't you move?" He looked and discovered the person who was talking to him was the man who owned the place he was preparing to spend his last dime. The saloon keeper had a couple of chins and no neck to speak of, if he had any it was hidden by those thick chins. In the rear was seated his wife, a large heavy woman, and his two daughters all three flashily dressed with numerous diamonds, pearis and emeralds glistening from fingers and ears. He didn't recognize the man he had so often patted on the back and encouraged to spend his money over his bar by treating and occasionally drinking with. Oh no, he was "nigger" now and in the way. Instead of continuing his way over to the bar my friend turned around and went the other way. "And to think" he said, "that I have contributed the best part of my hard earned money to pay for that car and that finery, while my wife had to be satisfied to wear cotton dresses and delighted if she had the money to get one decent dress a year. Never again will I enter his place or any one else's. I'm done I am going home and surprise the trust little woman living and some day if I work faithful I may own an auto that will pass his on the road, and my wife may be able to wear jewels as good as those his wife is wearing. All right little woman you will not be dressed shabby any more not while I can work. Old fat chin will get no more of my dimes or nickels, never again." She had been a country school teacher when she met the man who afterwards became her husband. Country teachers do not have very easy times, and work hard to get results and have to be satisfied in most cases with small pay. But Jim was so very good to her and she found life very pleasant with him, then one day the stork left a dear baby boy with them and their cup was full and running over. But one never to be forgotten day Jim was brought home dead, and so badly mangled that they refused to let her see him. When they laid Jim away and she found she had to face the world alone again she found she could not leave the baby to the care of strangers while she taught and she wondered what she could do to take care of her and she found many days thought and worry she was far from a solution of the problem as ever when it was suddenly solved for her by a neighbor, who had run in for a few minutes. On her table was a plate of old fashioned Maryland beat biscuits, looking at them with covetous eyes, she said "Mrs. Tibbs, will you sell me a dozen of these biscuits, I will pay you whatever you ask, my husband is so fond of them and so am I but I can't ever get them to look like yours." "I tell you a dozen for twenty cents," she replied. "Very well you can sell me two dozen at that price if you will" was the answer. In this way my little lady started a thriving business, one customer brought her many and in time she had as much as she could attend to properly, and today she has a comfortable income of $25 a week clear of all expenses, and baby is getting all the attention he needs and growing like a fine fellow. Indeed when I saw him last he was a sturdy lad of 7 years and helping his mother by delivering her orders for her. Beat the yolks of six eggs and the whites of three until light. Cream one cupful of butter and one cupful of sugar, together and add the pulp and juice of four oranges. Mix with the eggs and stir over the fire in a double boiler to thicken. Fill two pastry lined pans and bake in a moderate oven. When done, cover with the meringue made of the three whites not used and set in the cool oven to dry. Contributed by S. V. M. 1 cup butter, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 3 cups flour, 2 teaspoons extract vanilla or lemon. Rub the butter and sugar to a light cream, add the yolks of the eggs and beat well, add the flour, sifted with the powder, the milk and extract, mix with the milk batter, then fold in the whites of the eggs (which have been beaten to a stiff froth). Bake in cake pan in a moderate oven for one hour. Delicious! THE BOSTON EDITOR Dr. CHESTER St.JULIAN MACBETH On Wednesday, the 13th inst., forty-one graduated and received diplomas at the medical school of the Northwestern University, Chicago, Ill. The only colored man to graduate was Chester St. Julian Macbeth, the second son of Mr. Arthur L. Macbeth, the Baltimore photo-artist. The family originated at Charleston, S. C., but has lived in Baltimore about seven years. In rearing and educating his numerous children, the father, as a rule, studied each child's inclinations as they grew and developed and directed their education along the lines of their greatest aptitude. Dr. Macbeth was educated for a contracting electrical engineer, but after taking the electrical engineer's course at the Armour Institute or Technology he discovered there was practically no field in America for a colored man in that business as the wealthy corporations monopolize the business and employ such skilled men. Abhorring the idea of being a hired man for life, he, with characteristic dogged determination, took up the study of medicine four years ago at the prestigious University. He will specialize in Koenignology and surgery. Dr. Micheth has accepted an internship at Provident Hospital, Chicago. After graduating from the High School at Charleston, S. C., he served an apprenticeship in the Motor Department of the Electric Railway Company, Charleston. Later he was made inspector of motors for the system. He resigned that position in 1907 and spent the summer at the Jamestown Exposition with his father, who was a director of the Negro exhibit, after which he entered Fiskie University. In the course of his education, Dr. Macbeth completed the prescribed course in each of the following institutions: Winslow Preparatory School, Shaw Memorial School and Avery Normal Institute, Charleston, S. C.; Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.; Armour Institute of Technology and Northwestern University, Chicago, Ill. Dr. Macbeth resides at 525 East 34th Place, Chicago. He is now 32 years old. Mildred Louise Talk of Interest to Women. As health is the first aid to beauty this story, told by Mildred Louise, beauty specialist, of Boston, Mass., is of unusual interest: "I can recommend no better health giver than tonoline," said Mildred Louise. "I was for many months a victim of stomach trouble and nervousness. I had suffered terribly from pains that followed eating. Headaches would also add to my worries. Poor digestion finally brought on nervousness. "Relief came, however, when I took the advice of several women who said 'take tonoline.' "Not long after I started the tonoline treatment, my patrons began to remind me of the improvement in my condition. And because health is the quickest way to beauty the improvement was particularly noticeable in my face. "What tonoline really did for me I cannot say, I am so grateful that I am willing to recommend tonoline publicly." Tonoline is a purely vegetable preparation which goes to the seat of common maladies—stomach and kidney trouble. catarral affections of the mucus membranes, liver ailments and impurities of the blood—and quickly restores proper action. Tonoline is being explained to many people daily at the Road Drug and Chemical Co., Howard and Lexington Sts., Bullo, MD. Notice—As tonoline is a wonderful flesh builder it should not be taken by any one not wishing to increase his weight ten pounds or more. Although many reports are received from those who have been benefited by tonoline in severe cases of stomach trouble and nervous dyspepsia, chronic constipation, etc. —50c. BOX FREE.
