To open it only from bottom, it will cause imperfect ventilation—that is, only half portion of the room as far as where the window is raised will be ventilated that those will come in. In order to keep the window closed, the window must be lowered from top, and the shades rolled up so as not to hang in front of the opening. The opening must be as large as circumstances require. A full-floor room requires large opening. Windy weather necessities smaller opening. In house, windows should be opened when the top the lower ones should be raised at the next best thing. Cool or cold air will not hurt the skin through the lungs. Extroper, clothing, proper footwear and headwear cold enjoyable and invigorating.—At night all foot should be covered with window dressing.—In bed, full-dressen sleep will be spaced full-dressen and healthy. Never keep open windows and doors of the same room when it is windy. This will make draughts. Open the windows and shut the doors. The expert mem is worth trying. Proper ventilation in winter is as good a preventive for pneumonia as it is indispensable in its care. People who sleep in much fresh cold air, if properly ventilated, are less likely if their habitus are good, and they are, otherwise careful, should have no fear of pneumonia. Men who are bulb-headed may wear it can or rub the head with their hands or rest it. This will keep them from catching cold: I know of no condensation in winter, the adage "likes care likes" is more applicable than in this fact that cold air is the sun's preventive and care for cold air.

Three Months - - - Forty cents Six Months - - - - Fifty Cents One Year - - - One Dollar SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13th, 1917 The City Council has approved an ordinance offered by Councilman Joseph of the Fourteenth Ward, appropriating the sum of $170,000 for a new school building in the neighborhood of Pennsylvania and Fremont avenues. For a long time there has been a stern necessity for additional room for school 112, located on Carsey street, nearby, which has on roll nearly 1000 pupils. These are housed in a central building of 18 rooms, two portable schools and two branches, one at the corner of God street and the other over a pint shop on the corner of Pennsylvania and Fremont avenues. The latter place is of a highly inflammable material, and if a fire should break out while the school is in session there surely would be a holocaust that would linger long in the remembrance of the people of this city. In this particular branch are housed nearly two hundred small children studying under the most unyergene conditions that could well be thought of. Many of the classes in this school are half-time classes, and many of the teachers are compelled to do double duty. The matter is now in the hands of the Board of Estimates, having been recommended by the School Board. It would not be a bad idea if a committee of citizens from this particular section would go before the Board of Estimates and impress upon it the extreme necessity of passing the appropriation and setting apart the necessary funds to commence at once the erection of suitable modern building so an annex to this already crowded school house. Counselman Joseph's hands should be upheld and it is for the citizens of this district to see that it is done and speedily. MADAME WALKER Ten years ago the hair dressing process for women was an affair that usually occupied a whole morning, and had to be repeated ever so often, especially after damp weather. Ten years ago, too, your nose told you when this hair dressing business was going on in your neighborhood, for ironing the hair, frequently some of it got burnt. All of this has now changed in this later day, and hair dressing has become a process odorless and quickly dispatched. That so much time is saved and so much inconvenience avoided, the world is indebted to Madame Walker, formerly of Indianapolis, now of New York. Fourteen years ago Madame Walker was a washerwoman, today she is a millionaire manufacturer of hair preparations. She is a very remarkable representative of the colored business world, who has made her money exclusively from colored people. With no education and no initial capital, unless $1.50 can be called capital, this former cook and washerwoman has established agencies in every colored community in the country, and more than this, holds all the threads of this immense business in the hollow of her hand, administering it with the ease and efficiency of a Wall Street banker. The main source of the fortune of Madam Walker lies, in her hair grower which is guaranteed to make curly hair straight. Just as remarkable as the success of this preparation on the market is Madame's account of how she found the formula and first mixed the ingredients. A writer in the Kansas City Star is responsible for the following, said Madam: "Fourteen years ago my hair began coming out, and I prayed to the Lord to save it. He answered my prayer, for one night I had a dream, and in that dream a big black man appeared to me, and told me what to mix up for my hair. Some of the remedy was grown in Africa, but I sent for it, mixed it and put it on my scalp, and in a few weeks my hair was coming in faster than it was ever falling out. I tried it on my friends, it helped them. I made up my mind I would begin to sell it." Madame's tale of the origin of her hair grower may or may not be true. It seems more evident that she wishes to keep her invention a secret and is using this fairy story to throw inquisitive white folks off the scent. Even if there is a mystery about her beginnings in business, there is none about her success. She began by making one tubful of hair grower and then selling it herself, today she plans a factory to turn out 20 tubfuls per day for her increasing agents. Her good practical business mind has made her into the foremost business woman of the race. WAR IS....OPPORTUNITY War is another name for opportunity. These days offer tremendous opportunities to the man farthest down, openings which will last until the war is over. After the war these opportunities offered the laborer will decrease until the condition approximates what it was before the war. More than six hundred of our young men enter this week offices in the army paying from $1800 per year upward. Many times six hundred unskilled laborers are drawing envelopes of $18 per week, while skilled mechanics and workers are paid the fabulous sums of $5, $6 and $7 per day. In the Departments in Washington women clerks are being put on in groups of ten or more, some of them without examination, and all of them at salaries far beyond peace salary scales. As clerk, as messenger bookkeeper, stenographer, janitor, chauffeur, warehouseman, carpenter, tinner, tailor, hundreds of positions are open-under the government at salaries as high as $1200 per year. Everybody recognizes that these salaries can only be paid during the war time, and that the coming of peace means the coming of lower wages. War is the laborer's opportunity. Unless he takes advantage of it and gives himself a good start toward economic independence, peace will push him back into the same old rut where he was before. Good sense will tell every laborer to get ready for the period of hard times to follow the war. Every man and woman who can find employment during the war should make use of it and this is the most important, not only make money but save money. THE LIBERTY LOAN Many people do not understand that the Liberty Loan is not giving one's money to Uncle Sam, but lending it to him at a larger interest than can be gotten in the savings banks. Most of the savings banks pay only three per cent interest while the government is paying four per cent. Your Liberty Loan bond can be sold at anytime or it can be placed anywhere for a loan if one needs it. So it is a perfectly safe investment. Again as an investment, or savings fund, these bonds can be bought on the installment plan as low as one dollar per week, so here is an opportunity for accumulation. In many instances men and women are making two and three times as much money as they ever did, and even tho' the high cost of living is taken into consideration, there is an opportunity to save something. These high wages are not going to last always, and after the war will return largely to conditions of a year or two ago. It is wise therefore that while the opportunity is afforded to save something, and this can be done better by buying a Liberty Bond than in any other way. Buy your bond now.

I cannot recall the sadness it brings to my heart when one year ago the face of one I shall never forget was laid away to rest beneath the cold, cold clay. How often I think of the days gone by. But never the less some bright day if God Almighty sees fit we shall meet again in that city beyond death's sea where the surges shall cease to roll. By his wife, Minnie Barrett Harden [Image of a man with dark hair and a mustache, wearing a suit and tie. The background is a plain, light color.] The colored people always appreciate the things done by a man in public life for the benefit of his race, or for some of its members, and therefore we desire, at this time, when Mr. Schirm is a candidate for Clerk of the Baltimore City Court, to place before our readers certain acts of Mr. Schirm bearing upon this subject. One of his acts which stands out boldly was the appointment of Malachi Gibson, a colored lawyer, as Clerk to the Judiciary Committee of the Legislature of 1898 when Mr. Schirm was chairman of that committee. This is the highest position ever held by a colored man in any Maryland Legislature, and it was not held before, nor has it been held since by a colored citizen. Mr. Schirm received considerable criticism for making this appointment, and several of the Democratic members of the committee refused to shake hands with Mr. Gibson upon his introduction as the Clerk, but Mr. Schirm stood by his appointment, and had the satisfaction of having the Democrats join with the Republicans in voting Mr. Gibson a hundred dollars extra compensation at the close of the Legislative session. After the adjournment of the Legislature' of 1898, Mr. Schirm wrote a very strong letter in his capacity as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, endorsing Mr. Gibson for a position in the War Department at Washington. Mr. Gibson received the appointment, and held it until his death. MR. SCHIRM AND THE COLORED NORMAL SCHOOL Mr. Schrim introduced and voted for the bill providing for a Colored State Normal and Industrial-School in the Legislature of 1898. This bill was passed and the school has been in successful operation for years. MR. SCHIRM AND MRS. MARY M. GIBSON Some time after the death of Mr. Gibson, his widow, Mrs. Mary M. Gibson, sought Mr. Schirm's aid in securing a position in one of the Departments at Washington, so that she could support herself and child. Mr. Schirm willingly went to the front for her, and she is still in the Government employ. The following letter from Mrs. Gibson speaks for itself. following letter from Mrs. CHARLES R. SCHIRM: "1641 P. St., N. W., Washington, D. C. November 6, 1901. HON. CHARLES R. SCHIRM: Dear Sir: I wish to thank you for having me appointed in the Government Printing Office. "The appointment, I understand, is on six months' probation, but I hope, like others, at the end of that time, to receive my permanent appointment. My husband thought so much of you and Mr. Wachter that if it were possible, I know his heart would be gratified. Again thanking you, I am Very respectfully. (Signed) MARY M. GIBSON." MR. SCHIRM AND HARRY S. CUMMINGS. Mr. Schirm and Mr. Cummings were always on terms of friendship, and whenever Mr. Cummings wanted Mr. Schirm to make a speech on some occasion, he always willingly responded. As an evidence of how Mr. Schirm treated Harry Cummings we quote from a letter sent from Harpers Ferry under date of August/15, 1917, which reads as follows: "My dear Mr. Schirm:— "I have seen by the press that you are a candidate for Clerk of the City Court of Baltimore. I want to assure you at the onset that you have the loyal support of myself and friends, not only in the 17th Ward, but all over the city. You have been very kind to me, and it will be a pleasure to serve you." MR. SCHIRM AND JAMES T. BRADFORD When James T. Bradford was seeking the appointment of Recorder of Deeds at Washington, at the hands of President Roosevelt, Mr. Schirm endorsed Mr. Bradford's application, and did all that he could to have it favorably acted upon, and it was not his fault that the appointment did not fall to Maryland. MR. SCHIRM AND THE DISFRANCHISING AMENDMENT We wish to say that Mr. Schirm's efforts to defeat the Poe Amendment in 1905 and the Strauss Amendment in 1909 were untiring. Not only did he devote much of his time in Baltimore City to this purpose, but he also visited various sections of the State, and there, with his eloquence and his powerful arguments, helped to defeat these iniquitous measures. JUSTICE SCHIRM AT THE S. W. DISTRICT When Mr. Schirm sat as a Justice at the Southwestern Police Station, he was not only fair in judging colored persons brought before him, but in some instances extended financial aid, and in many instances dismissed cases where the offense was of no great consequence, and he often devoted much of his time toward trying to win back the wayward. There was no prejudice in his judgments but much of human kindness to the wayward and erring. Advertisement published by authority of Jerome W.

I cannot forget you, dear mother, And I often see you, dear year And often in a lonely hour I wipe away my tears. JONES, Joseph James, who died October 14, 1924, aged 22 years. A precious one from us has gone. A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our hearts. That never can be filled. It is not death to close. The eye-long dimmed by tears. And winkle in glare upon eyes past the painful years. There is a world alone. There parting is unknown. Along eternally of love. Formed for the good along. The place of those who sleeping. The pleasant memory of their worth. The hope to meet when they shall hear the music of mind at last. From Mother and Father. BROWN—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear sister, Mrs. Annie V.

No more to grieve or to weep. She is smiling upon me from heaven; My darling wife has fallen to sleep. In memory, I often see. The one I loved so dear: Her vision grows so clear sometimes! I feel she must be near. Her well-remembered footsteps, her listening for them, and her dime dim with watching. And my heart is sad with pain. I often sit and wonder At what she would say If she only knew the chings. That have happened since the day. But in my heart I have His will. But in my heart I have her still. Her memory is as dear to me As in the hour she passed away.

The local Hampton It is very difficult for those who are living in the United States, surrounded by people of poor in the prison camps. The Association has helped to establish conjoint kitchens in order to help out the meager food supply of the men who are living on the simplest kind of diet, diet that hardly hinders my immune system, from day to day. "Then, too, the Association has engaged the minds of men. One serious result of the sufferings of men in these camps is the amount of insanity that has come about because of the war, and nothing to do but state into each others faces and look at the same scenes. "When the Czarina desired, to send a gift to some of the Russian prisoners in Germany and the prisoners were asked what they wanted up for the crowd said, "We would like to have a little sugar to go in our tea." GIRLS NEED PROTECTION Miss Evans expressed her faith in American students to measure up to their opportunities. She said: "The time has come when we shall have to stop proclaiming. They will be done on earth as it is done in heaven," unless we are going to help bring that answer in our own lives. "This is the crisis of the age. Are we going to measure up? The faith I have in my soul makes me answer that question. Yes? How to remember the thousands of girls who are being tempted today, as girls have, never been tempted. I hope you are going to remember the girls who need protection, in this, and other countries, in those who are on the verge of collapse." St. Michaels, Md., Oct. 16.—The first session of the District Conference and Sunday School School Convention of the Salisbury District of the Philadelphia A. M. E. Zion Church, conference held at St. Michaels, Md., October 10. 11. Well attended by a large number of delegates from all parts of the district. The convention was presided over by Rev. J. S. Shaw, D. D. presiding elder of the district. Many of the delegates were by both conferences and it is set to say that the delegates were back to their homes full of enthusiasm to take up the work with renewed energy. One of the features of the conference was the closing session of the Rev. Mrs. C. Johns of Embarkle numbered by the A. M. E. Zon Church. The sermon was a variable spiritual feast and the homiletical arrangement of the sermon made it a masterpiece of literature. Let it be sufficient when we say that Rev. Mrs. Johns dismspreches. Resignations of appreciation of the members of the committee of the conference was confirmed by the Rev. J. T. Watson D. D. pastor and the committee of the conference was confirmed by the JUST LITTLE HINTS To prevent milk from scorcing first rinse the dish in which the milk is to be sealed with cold water. Mushrooms potatoes with milk in them, will be no danger of them to be scalded with cold water. Put a knife knife under glass when filling it with hot water in your jar will not crack. This is the spoon that fills the jar easily in the flat and so the sins even. Olive seeds brass vessels and articles with a mixture of corn salt and vinegar in the proportion one third salt and two thirds vinegar. If your mirror is smoky and not respond to washing try and add a soft cloth dipped in white and with water. Then dipped with clean wash, and polished, with chamois. If you are at all clever with your needle, do not pass a remnant counter without scanning it through to see if there is anything on it. That would prove valuable to you. From "out lengths of silk, you can form a counter to armament the home. Proceeded silks are especially, favorable for this purpose: When selecting your remnants choose those woven in a tapestry design. The silk can be made in a scrap basket, with any color scheme introduced in your room, affine you ever thought of making a pillow for that edd corner, or cover for the odd shaped stand of covering a scrap basket, of this miniature pillow, sew them neatly together and slip over your pillow. It needs no other finish; but can be cored around the edge if wished. For your table or stand use as ends for scarfs and cover with a small brush basket at the 10-cent store and cover it as you buy it, or if you desire you can cut it apart and cover the various sides and bottom and join the sections together with the over and over edges. Allow a half inch of material for turning in. Purchase gift braid at the upholstery department and bind each seam. This makes an artistic finish, and takes away any home-made appearance the basket will have. Fabric covered fabrics are used as much Broadcloth fabrics are used as much as cretonne at present, cover desk 'fixings' and articles for the dressing table. They are very French in appearance. HAIR PIN CROCHET Maybe if you have been doing needle work or crochet long enough you will remember an oldtime yoke for crocheting over a hair pin to make a very effective bearing or insertion. This together with many other old time knitting and crocheting processes, is coming back into style. It can be done on a large or small pin, depending on the width desired, used for the wider work. It is quick work and requires absolutely no thought, being, once the chain is started, purely mechanical. Use corresponding crochet thread and needle hooks of the advice of your saleswoman at the art needle work shop. The harrier work makes a lovely edge for habies clothes. If you are tired of knit-knit-knitting try it. TIPS FOR SEWERS Make your pieces bases of mosquito natting. You can trace the location of any piece without dumping out the whole bag. Keep your knit needles or old cotton on cases. Two-piece tapes around which waxed paper is wrapped may be gunned together to form the foundation of a centerpiece roll. A centerpiece which is stamped too close in the edge should have a bit of music basted to the edge so that they be caught in the embroidery hoops. No your patching and drawing on embroidery hoops. It will look neat. A WISE CHOICE You young girls who are looking for rooms of your very own, consider the advisability of which furniture. It is effective, grilish and inexpensive. And with it you can carry out almost any color schemes. LETTING SOAP DRY OUT The per ecoony of a woman who is a splendid manager in every respect is getting soap by the box and spread it upon clean papers on the sofa room floor or dry out thoroughly. Use the bar labs a good deal longer. SOFT, GINGER, BREAD Requested: 1 cup sugar 1 cup sugar 1 cup butter 1 cup butter 1 cups flour 1 teaspoon ginger 1 teaspoon clammin 1 teaspoon cloves teaspoons boiling water well heated eggs.
