The meeting was largely attended by teachers. Besides discussing questions of professional interest, the recent race migration northward was the theme of several speakers. SQUARE DEAL ORGED The association adopted the following declarations: (a) The granting or direct representation to Negro patrons on all boards operating schools for Negroes (especially for those using public funds) more surely to safeguard institutions of learning by identifying them more definitely with the Negro's life and highest interest. (b) A wider professional prospect for the Negro teacher in connection with his own day's work so the higher activities in connection therewith may be placed within the range of his possible attainment. (c) A more specific dedication of the schools and colleges upkeep by public funds to the work of educating the Negro broadly as an American citizen, and not narrowly as a Negro. (1) An impartial distribution of all federal funds in connection with state funds for the purpose of public education, both general and special; and a more equitable apportionment of all public school funds to the schools for Negroes and a more careful supervision of them.

Read beginning next week and running for three installments how one man with will and skill thwarted a mob and rescued its victim. Incidently, the development of the hero from a lawyer who selfishly made all he could out of his own people to the man who was willing to make the supreme sacrifice—himself, stamps "HOMEDIATE SETTLEMENT" as on of the strongest race stories; this paper has ever published.

The First Separate Company Maryland National Guard, in now "somewhere in Pennsylvania receiving military training, having left on Friday. The company was mustered into the federal service Tuesday. The one hundred and fifty men ate their last breakfast before leaving in and around their badly appointed quarters. 340 Preston street. The breakfast consisted of sow wheat and corn bread, butter and coffee. So cramped for room were the men that some of them had to eat on the sidewalk. The "armory" did not even have a telephone connection and some of the men were minus uniforms. The State has provided armories for whites in various sections of Maryland and the recent legislature authorized one for Southern Maryland, but there has been no provision made for the housing of the First Separate Company EAGER TO FIGHT Despite these handicaps the men were eager to get away and do their bit in helping to defend Uncle Sam, and many expressed their eagerness to get on French soil. Caucuin Wm. R. Spencer looked as it as ever when he led his men to the railroad station. Henry Ryan is the first lieutenant. Before leaving their "armory" a photograph of the men assembled was taken. They were cheered along the line of march. There was a furious effort made to have the State extend the company into a regiment. Then came the order from the War Department consolidating the company with the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia. Major James F. Walker, commanding. WAR DEPARTMENT OVERLOOKS In response to a request made by the editor of the Afro-American asking the War Department to expand the company into a regiment. Adjunct General Donnelly sent the following reply: The Secretary of War desires me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of July 23, 1917, relative to increasing the First Separate Company of Colored Infantry of Maryland into a regiment, and in response there to, to inform you that as the State of Maryland has raised all of the National guard units assigned to under Sections 60 and 62 of the Act of Congress approved June 3, 1916 with the exception of two companies of coast artillery, and the troops of that state are already in federal service, it is now too late to authorize the expansion of the First Separate Company of Colored Infantry of Maryland into a regiment.

INFANTRY ONLY AT DES MOINES (Special to The Afro-American) The War Department has decided that the entire course of training at the Colored Citizens' training Camp at Fort Des Moines shall be devoted to infantry work.

It is understood that the Department Commander in recommending this course, highly, commended the results thus far obtained at Fort Des Moines, and particularly the character, conduct and fine spirit of the men.

We would be pleased to have you enter your child's name as a contestant. Send name, address and age. A fair and impartial consideration will be given each application.

GHESTER DIFFERENT FROM E. ST. LOUIS Colored Folk Had Guns And Used Them. Police and Militia Did Not Take Sides Chester, Pa., August 2.—This city is apparently quiet after the riots, due partly to the hostility on the part of whites to the influx of a large number of colored workmen and the alleged killing of a white man by four colored men. Armed guards are patrolling the streets. The white man, William McKinney, was stabbed to death Wednesday evening of last week. Whites then made an onslaught on the colored residential district, and in the rioting that followed two colored and two white men received gunshot wounds. One of the colored victims is Weyman Larue, of Havre De Grâce, Md. More than 50 colored and white men were arrested for rioting. BIOTING CONINUED Despite the fact that State police, militiaman and guards from the Remington Arms Plant were on patrol duty riots broke again Thursday evening of last week, and one white man and one colored man were killed. The colored man was dragged from a street car and shot to death. Three colored and two white men were badly injured. The whites also besieged and set fire to a house where a colorman believed to have killed a white man took refuge. The man sought escaped by rear door. Three colored men were shot Friday night and more toiling took place Saturday night. The saloons were closed and the street cars not running Friday and Saturday nights. WHITES CHARGE POLITICS Whites opposed to the colored people charge that Mayor McDowell and the Republican maunine catered to the lawless element among the colored people. They were especially wrathful against William S. Fry, white proprietor of a hotel for three Negroes accused of being with the man charged with killing McKinney. District Attorney Mammann came in for a big scouting from some whites because he turned loose two colored men guards at Fry's Hotel, charged with others with killing a white man and a colored man named James Riley Saturday night. Several white men were held. The District Attorney said that the two colored men only had guns filled with bird shot, while the men were killed with bullets. Some of the whites had backs peppered with bird shot. DIFFERENT FROM E. ST. LOUIS The riots here were different from the one in East St. Louis in several respects, though the whites were as resentful against all colored people. The colored people had guns a plenty and did not fail to use them and the police and salarii did not take sides. A number of the whites arrested here had, like the colored people, come to the city because of the industrial opportunities offered. There were more prejudiced against the race than whites who had lived here a long time. The white men arrested C. A. Blesse, a member of former Governor C. L. Blesse, the South Carolina anti-Negro firebrand. Other Southerners were in men arrested. Mayor McDewell has had Justice Leary to resign in order to plausible whites. He is also making a probe into the allegation that a colored police man named Caldwell is an ex-convict. Two additional mounted policemen and five more patrolmen have been appointed to assist in maintaining order. PESNA. BUDGET LIBERAL Few Colored Institutions Sufer From Cuts by Governor.

Men and Women of New York In Protest Parade Against Various Racial Dis- New York, August 1—Neurly 5,000 colored men and women of every walk of life marched in a paradar as a "slent protest against acts of disfranchisement, segregation, lynch law, Jim crowism and other discriminations" last Saturday...The route was down Fifth avenue, from 59th street to 24th street, where the paraders dispersed. The parade was one of the most ederly ver held on Fifth avenue, and there was no cheering until the end of the march was reached...The route was lined with spectators and the banners and paraders brought out in glaring form the fact that the Negro is greatly discriminated against. . . . POLICE INSPECTOR PRAISES . . . Police Inspector Morris, who with one hundred policemen, marched with the paraders, expressed warm admiration for those who took part. . . . "They have done everything just "They have done everything just right" he deluded. "They have been lovely." Only one sign was objected to. It showed a colored mother crouched protectively over two children with the caption "East St. Louis." It also showed a picture of President Wilson and carried his assertion that the world must be made safe for democracy. Inspector Morris suggested that the banner was in bad taste and it was immediately withdrawn. The picture originally appeared as a cartoon in the New York Evening Mail and was reproduced in the Afro-American. Other than this there was not one feature to mar the parade, and in this city of radical and conservative opinions, along with others bordering on the anarchistic, the affair was generally agreed to be one that could not help from making a profound impression. In the line of march were doctors, lawyers, ministers, school teachers and trained nurses. Many veterans of the Spanish American War were there too. The grand marshal, Captain Edward Jackson, served in Cuba and the Philippines as captain of Company L of the State of Massachusetts. Clinton L. French, a lawyer, was in the Twenty-third Kansas.

"Suffier little children and forbid them not." "Give me a chance to live" "Mr. President, why not ruke America safe for democracy?" "The first blood for American in dependence was shed by a Negro, Crispus Attucks." "For the spirit of Christ in the making and the execution of the laws." "Your hands are full of blood." "We have 30,000 teachers" "Race prejudice is the offspring of ignorance and the mother of lynching." "Ten thousand of us fought in the Spanish American War." "Three thousand Negroes fought for American Independence under George Washington." "No Negro has ever betrayed his country or attempted to assassinate a President or any official of the Government." "Patriotism and loyalty presuppose protection and liberty." "America has lynched without trial 2,867 Negroes in thirty-one years. Not a single murderer has suffered." "Memphis and Waco centres of American culture?" "Two hundred thousand black men fought for your liberty in the Civil War." "The world owes no man a living, but every man an opportunity to earn a living." "Thirty-four Negroes have received Carnegie hero medals." "Our music is the only American music." "A square deal for every man." And there was another one to the effect that if any fault were to be found with color, either white people or God is responsible. The Rev. Dr. Hutchins C. Bishop was president of the parade. The Rev. Dr. Charles D. Martin was secretary. The Rev. F. A. Cullen was vice president. The first deputy marshal was J Rosamond Johnson. Others were A. B Cosey, C.

WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT Edited by Margaret Black WOMEN'S COLUMN Dear Readers:—Did you read the editorial in the Afro last week? Did it make your heart glad to see the heading "In The Fight To Stay" and to know that our women and men are going to fight for their rights and intend to stay by the cause until they win, and that every one of us can help as I concluded after reading the Editorial that we can not only add our name to the list of fighters by signing the petition mentione but tell others about it and induce them to sign, as every name helps and the more we get to sign the preacher the protest. Few forts are impregnable and, constant hammering will wear away the best of them. If you do not live in Baltimore where you can go to the Afro-American office and sign one of the petitions then write to Miss Nance Burroughs, leader of the Washington movement and get in the fight because if we are not supposed to stay then we can impose our rule more than one week's set of petitions to the President. For my part I think the movement should be made paper and magazine in the country to print a petition in each issue of their paper for two weeks and ask the readers to sign them and send the same to Miss Burroughs or whoever represents the National Association for Colored Women in the movement to bring the matter to the President's notice.

Percale in stripes checks or dots is also very popular, but there is one thing to remember in washing both singham and percale that is it shrinks a good bit, and if you want to wear it before it is washed you should put a hem large enough to allow for a such being made on the wrong side of the hem to let out in case it shrinks too much. A better way is to shrink the goods before it is washed.

Dr. Boyle's "eat no cabbage" slogan will work as much of a hardship this season as "eat no watermelon." With the same unity all over the country that New York exhibited, the problem is near solution. Wilson is doing more than any friend to develop an effective national organization among colorei people. COLORED MEN IN UNIFORM. Recent friction between soldiers and civilians in Waco, Texas and Des Moines, Iowa, indicates that the uniform of the United States Army is no protection against discrimination. Col. Ballou has won the regard of the Des Moines Camp by his method of handling the officers to be. Nevertheless he plainly told all of them that they must abstain from breaking the peace in their effort to break down the color line. As a result no more rookies have ventured to eat in Des Moines restaurants where they were not wanted. Members of the 24th Infantry, stationed in Waco who tore down the Jim crow signs in a restaurant, and thereby came into a clash with the police, will be tried by court martial on the charge of attempted murder. In the issue of the Afro-American of July 8, 1916, an editorial ventured the reminder that eminence in the army would not bring increased respect and ultimate full citizenship, but that the way lies in "fighting courageously and with good spirit to the end for social, political and civil rights." NO HOPE FROM WHITE HOUSE Born on the wings of the enthusiasm created by one of the most successful protest parades ever held in the country, New York colored folk sent a delegation to the White House to complain to the President and to get him to speak out against lynching. The reply of the president that he was too busy to see them was altogether expected. Just after the riot in Illinois, delegations of Washington and Baltimore together attempted to get an audience with President Wilson and received this word from the President thru Senator France: "I win very much that it were possible for me to see the delegation of colored citizens of which you speak. Knowing their errand and wishing in every way possible to promote the safety and welfare of our colored fellow citizens. I am sure I should listen to their representations with entire sympathy, but, unfortunately, it is imperative for me to conserve my time as much as practicable, and I write to beg you to assure those who made this request of you that thru the Department of Justice, thru the Department of Labor and thru every other channel open to me, I am doing and will do my utmost to safeguard the interests of the colored people, who are, of course as much entitled to our protection and support as any other citizens of the United States; and that you will request them in view of these assurances to excuse me for the present at any rate, from a personal interview." In refusing to see the delegation from New York, Mr. Wilson simply carried out his oft stated policy of seeing no committees on matters already disposed of. Those who defend the action of the President are constantly recalling the fact that despite Mr. Roosevelts' recent utterances, the Ex-President took no federal action against the wave of lynching that spread over the country with appalling vigor, just after he was seated. Those same defenders whisper that because of the Trotter-affair, no colored delegation has since gotten to talk with Mr. Wilson. However the matter may stand, it seems reasonably sure that there is no need of looking to the White House for defence against lynching. Had the New York, Washington, and Baltimore delegations acted in concert perhaps something more might have been gained in the effect made upon EVERYBODY MUST WORK Every able bodied man in the state between the ages of 18 and 50 years inclusive must work. A bill passed by the last legislature will become effective about the 20th of this month and affect every man not regularly and continuously employed. Under the provisions of the bill, the Governor is to authorize, by proclamation, the unemployed to register at the county or city courthouse, from which place, the persons will be assigned to work for the state or for private employers. The only limitation is that the person shall be physically fit to do the work assigned to him. Failures to register will be punishable with a fine of not more than $50, and the registration will then be forced. It was rumored at Annapolis, while the bill was under discussion that the legislation was aimed at the colored people in the effort to get sufficient help drafted from the cities to work on the farms and in the canneries. Governor Harrington is reported to have said, that it was hoped to get rid of the white loafers around many of the city clubs. In this connection, it is to be noted, that all persons who are supported by the income of property alone, will be expected to register, and persons engaged in seasonable occupations in Baltimore and Allegheny county are exempted. That the work law is directed only at the unemployed can well be seen from the lophole which allows any person assigned to work to procure employment elsewhere. The law does provide, however, that if he does not do the work assigned and does not get other employment, he may suffer the penalty of $500 fine and six months in jail, either or both. The operation of this war time measure will be watched with a good deal of interest. A PARADE OF PROTEST The silent parade of protest that the colored people held in New York last Saturday was an innovation. It was no vainglorious faunting of regalia or fine marching, but something that could not fail to rivet the attention of that big city that boasts of being a "melting pot" for humanity, upon the fact that ten millions inhabitants are, being offended in the country that has told the world it is fencing for the spread of democracy. The fact that it drew expressions from New York newspapers as being in every way dignified and impressive should not fail to arouse many who have been least concerned to the facts that this country must not only be interested in the spread of the causality of men in Europe, but that its PARAMOUNT DUTY is in seeing that all men here are treated according to their merits, and not discriminated against because they happen to be of African descent. It is right that the United States should help in mitigating the evils that some people suffer in foreign countries, but President. Wilson and the Democratic majority in Congress must understand that the spread of democracy in Europe is not more important than the leveling-up and the treating squares of men of every race and nationality in the United States. Distranchisement, lack of economic opportunity, social injustice, segregation and "Jim Crowism" are things opposed to democratic ideals. Their abolition must be insisted upon if the United States wants to have the world believe that its professions are sincere. The parade in New York should awaken those who are not interested in the Negro because he is a Negro, but who believe that their country should live up to what it tells the world it believes in and holds as ideals. It should awaken those who believe that reason and fairplay should be the deciding things in every situation, and especially those discriminations that are burdensome to a large and loyal element of the populaton. TROOPERS NEED ARMORY The First Separate Company is now being trained for army service. This calls attention to the fact that the state has never been too generous in providing for its support. Not willing to disband the company as other Southern States have done theirs, Maryland has permitted the First Separate Company to jog along with slight attention. It needs an armory and other equipment, and the fact that it has always made good should make Maryland see its duty along that line. Of course, the men may be needed for defense, but Governor Harrington did not think of the other thousands of colored men in Maryland whose support may have been enlisted for Home Defense. Hence, the names of no colored are on his committee. Maryland's attitude is not unlike that of the Wilson administration in holding the Negro back until the moment of greatest emergency arrives That is why colored men have not been considered in the summoning of other elements of the nation to lend assistance to big work of preparing this nation for war. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT In a neighboring town the Cardoza Public Vocational School graduated 4 students in brick masonry, 5 in printing, 6 in auto repairing and operating, 1 in carpentry and 2 in plastering. The O Street Vocational School of the same town graduated 5 in plain sewing, 3 in advance dressmaking, 1 in millinery and 1 in cooking. Of the 71 graduates of the Baltimore High School perhaps as many as 40 will go into the training School to become teachers. Fifteen state they will go to college to prepare for the professions. For the non-professional or vocational activities of life there is no training fitting them for the professions, or else stay out of school? Why not build up a vocational school by the side of our high school? FORUM. FORUM. The Afro-American Pub. Co.

Midnight Visits Scene of Battle Under date of July 27th, J. O. M. night has been made of confession of coyness. East St. Louis: "Thousands of people have left E. St. Louis and still they are moving away. 'The business men are putting forth every effort to get them to remain, but they are going. It is hard to get men to work now, and the business people are suffering begging for help. 'It is not mean to call people brave for they are human beings, I would rather live in the wild animals than to—well think of what I was going to say and fill it out for me. "Were there many homes burned? Yes, there were many, but it was the case of a man burning his own property; for the white men owned most of the houses burned; for the poor, taxes, keeping it in repair and then give him a few dollars for a rainy day. But thank God it is shot off now. They burned themselves out of money and then they took innocent lives. It is now a question whether or not there will be enough left to open school next fall. I know you want to know where these people are. Some of them have gone to other places, and thousands of them are being housed in St Louis until they decide what to do. The men and women in many houses are open to them. In the work of caring for them the Red Cross has been doing its duty, and our people have just poured in their money to their unfortunate brothers in the country has been Mrs. Annie Malone, founder, secretary and treasurer of the Poro College. She has given her time, her money and has worked night and day. She has given the use of her automobile while she was driving to the car. She has not given nickels and dimes, but dollars in the thousands and all with a smile on her face. "I am not wanting praise, but I want to dom y duty," is what she said to me when I asked concerning her part, and the time was spent the station and at the ferry where the people came in. Up to the time of this writing there are numbers of people who have been separated from their own, and cannot find them. Some, perhaps, will never be found, for they have answered the question: "How can you touch the heart of any human being to see these helpless people looking for their own. Some cases are children looking for parents, parents looking for children, husbands looking for wives, etc. Such a weeping and rejoicing there is when some of them meet. People are doing all in their power to help them, but best for them to leave East St. Louis, I am of the opinion that Negroes should not allow themselves to be chased away for if they do there will not perhaps be a place in America for them to live for others may follow suit and strive to run us into the ocean as many would do today if they could.

Miss Hallie Queen, who spoke to Baltimore audiences on that she saw in East Saint Louis after the riots, is an exception to the ordinary. Miss Queen is a Washington girl, graduate of the M Street High School, and a bachelor from Cornell University. After graduation, the spirit of wander-lust sized her, and she accepted a position as teacher, later is principal in the school system of Porto Rica. After several years on the islands during which she learned the Spanish tongue, to speak it fluently, she was offered a position in the Academy at Howard University. As present she teaches Spanish, German and French, and in her off time organizes the students for their charity funds. dramatics to help. With the break of the War, Miss Queen obtained permission to raise a Miss Queen Unit at the University. She was commissioned a "Captain" and before school closed, turned over one thousand finished pieces of bandages, comfort kits and the like. After the Atlanta fire, she was asked to hold herself in readiness for relief, work in that city, until the City of Atlanta refused positively to accept outside help. The District of Columbia Branch of the Red Cross felt the need of having a colored representative in East St. Louis after the riot, and without hesitation, Miss Queen, was supplied with funds and soon to stricken district. St. Louis after the riot, when fires flamed, and hatred her smoldered in the city, friends of Miss Queen, fearful of her safety urged her not to go, or at least to delay event, and the report she brought back is another indication of the fact that the spirit of adventure and enterprise may sometimes desert men for women. XE OLDE TIME REMEDIES "The old time remedies are the best" said the older of two women as they stood in front of the office the other day. The younger woman pressed a tiny baby, so it was not hard to discover the object of these remarks. "You want to watch that youngster these hot days," continued the old 'un, "heat get's to 'em more during the second year more than it does when they're smaller. If you want to keep your child well, don't bother with no doctor, just get one of these old time mammies to give you some remedies. Just look at me, 53 years old. "I didn't know you were so old." interrupted the young mother. "Yes, Lord," answered the other assuming a thankful pose. I got ten children and the same number of grandchildren, and I only lost one of em. When they got croop, I paid one dollar a pint for marge's milk and gave 'em as much as they could drink. I gave 'em cat-nep for cotie, and water in a thimble to keep 'em from slobbering all over their selves. When they had whooping cough I held their little heads over a vessel so they could get the smel of Hydrogen-sulfide. You know as long as they vomit, it is all right. Just here the car came and took COMMON SENSE HEALTH TALKS BY E. MAYFIELD BOYLE, M. D. GASTRO-INTESTINAL DISORDERS A. E. Prominent among the causes of disordered stomach and bowels is improper food. This includes eating too much greasy stuffs, such as fat-back, fries, stews, green or partially ripe fruits. Equally injurious is the habit of drinking too much fluid, such as lemonade, cold tea, large cupfuls of coffee, during meal, finishing with watermelon and supplementing the whole an-hour afterward with ice cream soda. The immediate result of this is slowing of digestion and causing distention of the stomach. Overloading the stomach causes the same Improper mastication is another source of trouble. The mischief lies in its causing painful digestion or indigestion, delay, stagnation or decay of food in the stomach. Milk is sometimes responsible for gastro-intestinal disorders. Snow-balls, drinking water and bathing in dirty streams are sources of infection. Cheap candies, alone or combined with other foodstuffs, may cause trouble. Flies so daring and so omnipresent, are positive and vicious contributors to summer disorders. The frequency and rapidity with which they change places, make it possible for them to carry more from one section of the city to another between sunrise and sunset. They are not only among the fittest of creatures but are no respecter of persons. A fly fresh from an expectoration, ulcer, a manure or any fifth, will alight on one's food or lip as gracefully as on the floor. A favorite playground for flies is the mouth of many a babee who mother, seemingly, imagines that flies are the inevitable cradle associates of the little the old sister down Eutaw street. The young woman waved a goodbye and pushed, her carriage out the avenue. I stood in the door and wondered how 20 children ever survived 'those old time remidies. DUNBAR'S PROPHECY The other day Kelly Miller, Jr. received his master's degree for work done at Clark University, in Worcester, Massachusetts. A year ago, young Kelly finished, well up in his class in Howard University. Like his father, his specialty was mathematics. The successful work of this junior member of the Miller family reminds me of the prophecy of Paul Laurence Dunbar. In 1837, Dunbar came to Washington to take a position in the Congressional Library. From then until his marriage he lived in the Miller house and wrote many of his poems and finished his first novel there. Naturally Dunbar, the lover of children, fell in love with Kelly Miller Jr., then aged three. Here are his lines sent to his young friend sometime afterward together with an autograph copy of "Oak and Ivy." Read today, Dunbar's sentiments savor of prophecy. "Dear Kelly, when I was a kid—I wrote this book; that's what I did. When you grow up, I may be dead—You allus think o'what I said Dat you go'n mek yo' mak fer true—Cos Kelly M—I bets on you." 44 YEARS IN CIVIL SERVICE In Baltimore we say all the lettercarriers except a few are white. "In Petersburg, Va., all the lettercarriers except one are colored" said J. M. E. Holmes in the office last Monday. "I was appointed to a position there under the administration of President Grant, and this week. I celebrate the 44th anniversary of my entry into the mail carrying business. I believe I am the second oldest carrier in the country. Generals Grant and Lee. I knew well, and I also shook hands with President Lincoln. "Three weeks ago I was transferred back to the route that I travelled when I was first appointed. The children and the grandchildren of the folks I served then greatly embarrassed me by asking me if I didn't remember them. Of course I didn't recognize the grown folks, who were babies when I used to deliver-mail to their houses." Mr. Holmes is hale and hearty despite the 44 years of toting Uncle Sam's mails.

Fifth and germs are thus directly carried to the child's alimentary canal say nothing about what goes in indirectly by contamination with what the child eats. WHAT FOLLOWS In an attack of gastror-intestinal disorders, the symptoms vary from merely feeling bad or nauseated to pain in the stomach or belly, vomiting, purging, cramps in the limbs, etc. The diarrhea should largely be considered as a mere symptom, not the disease itself. Both diarrhea and vomiting are nature's ways of getting rid of the offending substances in the bowels and stomach. Long before the bowels become loose or the stomach begins to expel its contents, the mischief, caused either by the food or anything contained in it, has been accomplished. Unless excessive or accompanied by collapse, vomiting or purging should be left severely alone or encouraged. They are often a god-send. THE DONTS OF WISDOM Don't eat too much in hot weather. Eat lightly and be sure that there is room left for more food should you feel like eating again shortly. Don't mix your foods indiscriminately. Cucumbers and livers; crabs and milk or lemonade; watermelon and ice cream or beer must be enjoyed separately. Eat little meat and NO CABBAGE. Don't eat hastily. Lay down your knife and fork after each mouthful if the habit cannot otherwise be overcome. Don't drink too much liquids at or between meals. Don't let babies lie on dirty floors. Screen them for flies. breakfast or dine with you. They are Don't give lies an opportunity to death angels, not friends. Screening doors and windows keeps them away and is cheaper far than doctor's and drug bills or funeral expenses. If in spite of all precaution taken one should get sick, send for the doctor without delay. Don't listen to the neighbor's suggestions instead. If there is no doctor nearby and the patient should collapse, a little stimulant may be given to hold body and soul together until the doctor comes. Never wait until the case becomes alarming before ordering the doctor to come right away." Doctors are not undertakers. A daily bath is not only cleansing but peculiarly invigorating to the gastro-intestinal tract, especially in hot weather. Au revoir.

The black man has been deprived of the basic rights to determine that the alleged inferiority is a white man's condition, uselessly compromised to allow the continued many abuses of exploitation." "The war in Europe gives them, in all the elements, the black man as a weapon to be deprived of. The Soviet regime, Sovietism and Bolshevism, the Communist regime, Communism and Bolshevism, the Communist regime will weaken them and undermine sources of mutual adversity."
