--- VOL. XXVI, No. 8 $11,000 INVESTED IN LIBERTY BONDS Appeals For Purchase Of Liberty Bonds At Mass Meeting Brings Very Encouraging Results. LYON SUBSCRIBES $1,000 Meeting Under Auspices of Colored Division of Maryland Council of Defense. That Uncle Sam's soldiers must be maintained as the best fighting men in the world was evidenced by the splendid spirit manifested at the Liberty Loan Mass Meeting at Metropolitan M. E. Church. Wednesday night, when nearly $11,000 was subscribed for Liberty Bonds. The meeting was held under the auspices of the colored division of the Maryland Council of Defense. Despite the fact that thousands were attracted by the big Liberty Loan pageant, a good-sized crowd was present. Lawyers, school teachers, business men, physicians and working men and women comprise the crowd. Pitts, introduced Dr. Ernest Lyon, chairman of the colored division of the Council of National Defense, presided. APPEALS FOR THE LOAN Ringing appeals for the loan were made by Mrs. E. L. Steptea, who spoke on "The Negro in Past Wars," Bishop John Hurst, who declared that this war and its outcome are of vital importance to the race; William C. McCard, who explained how the bonds may be purchased, and Howard M. Gross, who made an effective appeal for subscriptions. Lieutenants Curtis Carpenter and Edgar A. Love also spoke. The subscriptions came in a deluge of $50 ones, some for $100, $200 and upward until $1,000 was reached. Dr. Ernest Hill planked down a check for $1,000 bond and another person who did not want his name mentioned also subscribed $1,000. As subscriptions have been coming in since the meeting the Council of Defense will receive orders at 421 Drum Hill avenue up to noon this Saturday, October 27th, or those desiring bonds may purchase through any bank. MOASICS BUY $50,000 WROTH OF LIBERTY BONDS Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 25—When Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo was here a few days ago making speeches for the second issue of the Liberty Loan, he was visited by a delegation of Masonic Templars. The delegation pledged their interest in the successful issue of the war, and handed Secretary McAdoo a check for $50,000 for Liberty Bonds. The Secretary expressed his delight at the patriotism of the organization. The order was founded by the late John E. Bush, long a prominent figure in Arkansas. ATLANTA RAISES $1,000 Atlanta, Gn., October 23.—With $4,000 collected at the mammoth mass-meeting at the City Auditorium Sunday, the Colored Y. M. C. A. now has $29,000 in hand toward the $50,000 they must raise in order to secure a gift of $25,000 to Julius Rosenwald. This building is now under construction on Butler street, beneath Auburn and Edgewood avenues. Of the money raised Sunday $1,801 was secured through women selling tags all over the city last Saturday. The women were under the leader, ship of Mrs. John Hope, wife of the president of Morehouse College. Of the remainder $1,000 came from the members of the Wheat street Baptist Church. The edifice of this congregation was destroyed in the big fire. An address was made by Clark Howell, editor of the Constitution, Mr. Gamble, of the Proctor and Gamble Company, Chicago, was present and manifold a fairly interest. W. J. Trent is secretary of the Y. M. C. A. REPUBLICANS QUIZ MITCHELL New York, October 23.—Mayer Mitchel, the fusion candidate for the mayoralty, met a committee of colored men, headed by Fred R. Moore, and told them his attitude toward the race a few days ago. He declared that in the larger aspect of things he treated the colored people in the same way he treated other elements of New York's vast composite population. He said that he appointed a colored man a member of the school board because he believed the large colored population should have such representation. He asserted that the few colored men on the civil service lists had been given a square deal and that he tried to find an exempt place for some colored man. He declared that he was not in favor of a public bathhouse for the Negroes of Hammond, as that involved an idea of segregation that he was opened to admit him, he favored one for all elements of the population of that section. Replying to the query as to why he did not respond to the few invitations extended him to attend Negro gatherings, he said that he was continually compelled to decline divers sorts of such requests, but never with intended discrimination. 2 Reading from left to right they are Lieutenants John Wesley Love, Walter McHugh, Lewis Russell, Cyrus Marshall.

Smith WOMEN'S FEDERATION IN ANNUAL SESSION The uplift work that the Maryland Federation of Christian Women is doing was told at its twelfth annual session, which opened at Grace Presbyterian Church, Thursday afternoon. An inspiring scene at the opening session, was a prayer service for the men who are about to enter army service. Mrs. Annie L. McQuinn, Mrs. Melissa Minor and Mrs. Ida Raiff were among those who asked divine aid for the soldiers. Besides receiving reports of the work of various activities addresses were delivered by Carrington L. Davis who made a plea for Morgan College; Rev. Mr. Moore, financial agent of Provident Hospital, and Rev. Dr. W. H. Weaver. The Federation voted to maintain a bed at Provident Hospital. The Woman's Patriotic League of which Mrs. S. C. Fernandis, is the leading spirit, was among the new organizations admitted. Revs. Ernest Lyon and C. E. Stewart made a plea for cooperation in the work of the colored division of the Maryland Council of Defense Thursday evening. Mrs. E. J. Truxon delivered an address outlining the uplift work that women are doing. Representatives from various fraternal orders brought words of greetings. Mrs. H. Howe delivered an address of greeting, which was responded to by Mrs. Beale Elliott. The Knitting Club of the Y. W. C. A. made a report of its activities through Miss Frances Murphy, and Miss E. Wilson told of hospital work. WOMAN SUFFRAGE URGED A business session was held Friday morning. In the afternoon Mrs. Howard E. Young delivered an address urging votes for women. Food conservation was discussed and officers for the ensuing year elected. Dr. J. O. Spencer, president of Morgan College, made a plea for interest in aiding the institution to locate at its new home in the northern suburbs and Miss Ida Cummings delivered her annual address as president. That the soldier boys will not be forgotten was indicated by the large quantities of preserved fruits and vegetables donated. Some will be retained to be given to needy families of the soldiers, while the remainder will be sent to Camp Meade. A big closing meeting has been arranged for Sunday afternoon at which time Rev. Dr. Weaver will preach a special sermon. ASPIRING FOR POLITICAL New York, October 26.—This city for the first time in its history has colored candidates for office in a general election. The candidates are Edward A. Johnson, nominee for General Assembly in the Hartem District, and C. Thomas, Jr., who is running in the same district. The second of Alderman. Both are lawyers and Mr. Johnson is also the author of "A History of the Nero Race." The United Civic League, of which John M. Royall is founder and president, is enthusiastically backing the candidacies of the two men. The league has 2,200 members and is located in a five story-home at 54 W. 135th street. Its mission is to follow after the race. President Royall has long worked ardently for the promotion of the interests of the colored people. BALTIMORE HONORS DRAFT AND COMMISSIONED MEN OVER ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE HEAR STIRRING APPEALS FOR PATRIOTISM AT HOME WHILE THE BOYS ARE AT THE FRONT. In the years of 1863 and 1864 more than 200,000 colored soldiers entered the service of Uncle Sam to fight for the preservation of the Union. Their queue was still lin slavery in the seceding States, and the fact made them fight all the harder for victory. Their bravery was attested to at Fort Wagner, Fort Pillow, before the Crater at Petersburg, around Richmond and at other places. These men were called into service after two years of indecision on the part of President Lincoln and his advisors. Maryland furnished six regiments of more than 1,000 men each. They left for the firing line without their sorrow-stricken relatives and friends giving them a big send-off. They returned, not to be met by brass bands, but with the grateful acclaim of their race and the respect of the white men of the North. In saying they were ordinary help in saving the Union and they had made the decree of Abraham Lincoln abolishing slavery an actual fact. More than 30,000 of the finest physical types of colored men have been chosen for teh Army by the selective draft. They will be officered in part by 624 commissioned men, the finest specimens, physically and mentally, and morally, that this country can boast of. These men are ready for the sixteen cantonments where the selective draft men will be trained. They have and are receiving words of praise at the hands of their respective communities as well as at the hands of people all over the country. They are going to help the United States fight for the spread of democracy. BALTIMORE'S TRIBUTE Baltimore is no exception in showing its high regard for its sons who will either go to Camp Meade among the 900 men chosen by the selective draft or the few o fits upstanding sons that won commissions at Fort Des Moines. This was certainly attested by the universal acclaim that greeted Baltimore's quota and the commissioned officers at the big public reception given by a committee of prominent citizens at Bethel A. M. E. Church last Tuesday evening. The commissioned occupied seats on the rostrum, as did the speakers and other prominent Baltimoreans. There was no prower man on the rostrum however, than Rev J. C. Love, whose two sons, Edgar A. and John Wesley Love, were also there, having won commissions as lieutenants after an ardunos four months of work at Fort Des Moines. The selective draft men occupied seats at the church and nearby were the Boy Seours, the Putarchie Regiment or tomm Odd Fellows and the Uniformed Rank of Knights of Pythians. Elsewhere on the main floor and in the galleries were fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sweethearts and well wishers—each of whohe heart pulsated with joy that the sons of the most prescribed race in America were ready to offer themselves on the altar as protectors of their country' s honor and for the liberty of all the peoples of the world. The speakers were S. S. Booker who presided; Rev. A. L. Gaines, John H. Murphy, who served as a sergeant in Company G of the 30th Maryland colored troops during the Civil War; Rev. W. M. Alexander, States Attorney William F. Broening, Rev. C. H. Stepteaun, K. C. McCard, Rev. Albert J. Mitchell and Dean William Pickens, Lieutenant Edgar Love responded for the commissioned officers. Miss Virginia Berry endered a solo. Mr. Booker, in opening the speech making, said that the gathering was to show the appreciation of the citizens of Baltimore for the men who had won commissions and those who had been chosen by the selective draft by reenactment of the fictional gathering he declared, was only "small token—a mere pitittance—of the regard and affection with which Baltimore held its sons who were ready to defend their country." The present period, he went on to say, was the most remarkable in the history of the world and the Negro was "on the firing line to see that justice prevailed throughout the world." HITS SHAM DEMOCRACY Dr. Gaines said that colored soldiers must exercise superior qualities, as an under race was never given the same meed of praise. The colored soldier must be superior in discipline morals and loyalty. He declared that he had no patience with the contention that this was a "white man's war as it was the black man's war as well. "When you get in the trenches beside the Sengalese and think how the Germans treated the Negro in South Africa," he said, "your indispensable duty will be to avenge your brothers." The speaker denounced any democracy which excluded the Negro as a mockery. Democracy must be realism and not idealism, he asserted. Dr. Alexander praised the commissioned men and the selective draft men as having measured up to every requirement of the United States. He said that every time a big job had to be done the colored man was called upon. Asserting that the Kaiser was still lon hand, he said the colored soldiers "must be prepared to stay in the trenches until every man has his just rights." BUT ONE DEMOCRACY "Fifty-three years ago," said J. H. Murphy, "200,000 colored men went as soldiers into the Civil War. Seven thousand of these came from Maryland, and I was fortunate enough to be with them. The black men did their duty in the Civil War—there were no braver troops. "You go in where we left off," he said, "turning to the commissioned and drifted men. "You start where your fathers left off. There is a great burden resting upon your shoulders. You are the standard bearers of a prescribed race. As you measure up so the world will measure you." Taking a filing as the contention that colored soldiers fight better under white officers than under colored, he declared that they fought well under white officers, but would fight infinitely better under colored supervision. He ventured the hope that the war would end with a dozen Colonel Chas. Youngs and that some men would be wearing the shoulder stars of a general. Asserting that he believed that the that there was but one true democracy—the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. MR. BROENING SPEAKS MR. BROENING SPEAKS Attorney William C. McCard introduced the States Attorney in a neat speech. Mr. Broening alluded to the fact that this country is in the midst of a terrible conflict that patriotism should manifest itself in practical service for the country. he praised the commissioned and drafted man having met every qualification and wished them the success that comes from loyalty and bravery. Kalserism must be wiped out he said, and the colored troops must do their duty when the institutions of their country are menaced. He ventured the opinion that victory against Germany would mean the obliteration of invidious class distinctions. As a means of showing deep interest in the welfare of the nation, he urged that Liberty Bonds be bought. Dr. C. H. Steptueh made an eloquent appeal for the triumph of democratic ideals and expressed his belief that the colored troops would uphold every tradition. Dean William Pickens, in a well-received speech, declared that the present war was one in which the Negro should show his loyalty, and at the same time continually clamor that world democracy shall include him. Rev. A. J. Mitchell, declared that the men at the front would have his sympathy and help at all times. LIEUTENANT LOVE RESPONDS Lieutenant Edgar A. Love responded for the commissioned men. The colored troops, he said, must help to make history. Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, used to tell his students, Lieutenant Love said, that the Negro problem was one of the many problems with which the world had to deal, and in helping to fight for the solution of many of these problems, he continued, the Negro may find his condition ameliorated. The Negro will help in putting an end to German ambitions, he concluded, in order that righteousness and justice may prevail. Following the speech-making, the commissioned men, drafted men, as well as the invited guests were served with refreshments furnished by the contributions of a number of gentlemen. WASHINGTON BOOZELESS Washington, October 26—This city goes dry officially next Tuesday, and there will be some moaning and groaning among the members of the Grand United Order oz Booze Hoisters. Congress decreed that only soda and spring waters should be drunk here after November 1, 1917, and the reason for the coming ardiness in about 300 places that dispense the cup that cheers but inebriates. Drinking has not been so fashionable here in recent years—at least drinking in public places. That did not mean, however, there was not booze in first-class homes. The Army and Navy Club went "dry" sometime ago, and the approaching event will not take the minds of the army and navy men off the great war questions. Those who have not hoarded up a supply of booze may be expected to make frequent pilgrimages to Baltimore. SELIGMAN REMEMBERS NEGRO INSTITUTIONS New York. October 25—Among the many bequests in the will of Isaac N. Seligman, Jewish banker and philanthropist, were the following for $1,000 each: Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Depot, Nebraska Normal and Agricultural Institute, Lehigh School on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. The Fort Valley High and Industrial PRICE THREE CENTS TAIT CHARGES DISCRIMINATION Present Plan of War Department Would Deprive Only the Colored Soldiers at Camp Meade POLITICS HINTED AT Republican Leader Tait Requests War Secretry Baker to Modify Order. That colored soldiers stationed at Camp Meade may be deprived of the right to vote this year, while whites will enjoy the privilege, is the belief entertained by leading Republicans of Maryland. The War Department issued an order, it is reported, allowing soldiers stationed at the camp to return to their homes to vote, providing they had been there the ten days previous to election. As the colored contingent, which will number over 6,000, will not begin arrive there until Sunday, it would mean that they would lose their votes. The order would affect more than 800 men from Baltimore, besides a large number from the counties. As soon as Republican State Chairman Galen L. Tait heard of the possibility of such a contingency, he sent the following telegram to Secretary of War Baker: "It is reported that an order has been passed by the War Department permitting the soldiers at Camp Mende, Maryland to return home to vote on next election day but that a restriction has been added providing that the soldiers who are summoned to the Camp within ten days of election shall not be given this important privilege. I am reliably informed that a large contingent of Maryland drafted men have been summoned to appear within this ten days, perled consisting principally of colored soldiers. Being confident that the party to any unfair discrimination between classes of Maryland soldiers and voters I urgently request such a modification of this order as will permit all Maryland soldiers regardless of race, creed or politics to return to their homes to vote on next election day." "Galen L. Tait, Chairman Republican State Central Committee of Maryland." MARYLAND'S COMMISSIONED MEN ASSIGNED Washington, October 26—Colored commissioned officers and the selective draft men who are to compose the 17th Provisional Regiment are now packing their grips, getting ready to entrain for the sixteen army cantonments. The men will have separate quarters from the whites at each cantonment, but will receive the same treatment, pay and rations. The large number of young men in this city who received commissions at the Officers Training Camp at Fort DesMoines, will be scattered about the country, and a number will be sent to Camp Meade, Md. A big reception was tendered them here this week, Emmett J. Scott, civilian advisor to Secretary Baker, and J. Finley Wilson making the principal addresses. Most of the Maryland commissioned men will be sent to Camp Meade. Those going to this camp will be: First Lieutenants Edgar E. Walker, Webb and James B. Williams; Second Lieutenants Curtis Carpentier, Robert W. Cheers, Cyrus Marshall, all of Baltimore; Daniel G. Hill, Jr., Catonsville; Lawrence Hawkins, Rowley. John H. Purnell, of Trappe, Md., and John W. Love, of Baltimore, will be first lieutenants in the Officers' Reserve Corps at Camp Digg, Wrightstown, N. J. James B. Williams, who has seen service in the 24th United States Infantry, will be stationed with the national army at Camp Meade, and Thornton Gray, of Fairmount Hill to be a first lieutenant at Camp Upland Upham, N. Y. Second Lieutenant Lewis H. Russell of Baltimore, will be stationed at Lost Island, N. Y. With the exception of Williams and Gray, all of the men will be assigned to the Officers' Reserve Corps. CONCORD CHURCH DEDICATED Brooklyn, N. Y., October 29 — Concord Baptist Church, for many years located on Duffield street, entered its recently-acquired home on Duffield street Sunday. Rev. Dr. W. A. Creditt, of Downingtown, Pa., preached the opening sermon. The services were largely attended and big collections were secured. During the three years that Dr. W. M. Moss has been pastor the membership has grown to 800 N. B. Dodson is superintendent of the Sunday School. The exercises will continue all of this month. FROM OCTOBER 28th TO NOVEMBER 3rd "FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR" AN APPEAL TO THE WOMEN OF MARYLAND This country, for the first time in recent history, faces a food shortage of a peculiar kind. There is sufficient food for all, but there is not sufficient food of certain kinds. The Government appeals to the housewives of the Nation in this emergency. The week of October 28 to November 3 inclusive, has been set apart for a nation-wide Food Conservation Campaign, in which all the women of the State are asked to take p. A CAMPAIGN OF SUBSTITUTION RATHER THAN ECONOMY. It is not so much a question of saving money as it is a question of saving food. No matter how much one is willing to pay, money will not grow wheat or sugar between harvests, and will not produce meat when the cattle are not in existence. What the women of the Nation are asked to do, therefore, by the Government, and what they must do if the supply is to last over this emergency, is to substitute other articles of diet for the staple things in which a shortage is threatened. SAVE WHEAT, MEAT, DAIRY PRODUCTS AND SUGAR The most important articles of food in which there is a serious scarcity are wheat, meat, dairy products and sugar. Wheat is absolutely essential to the conduct of the war abroad. The European nations have not been trained to the use of cornmeal and other grains. More than that, wheat is peculiarly adapted for war-time uses because of length of time wheat bread can be kept after baking, as contrasted with corn bread. Many of the sources of supply on which our Allies have drawn in the past are cut off and the United States is called upon to make up this shortage by exportation. If the people of the country consume the entire amount of wheat they are accustomed to consume, the war cannot be successfully brought to a finish. But the war must go on and therefore the wheat supply must be drawn on with care. All that is necessary is that every housewife shall substitute, so far as possible, corn meal and other grains for wheat and flour. As in the case of whete flour, much of the meat supply for the army must be exported from this country. The supply of living animals is not sufficient to meet this emergency and afford the customary amount of meat consumed in this country. The Government, therefore, urges that every family, so far as possible, substitute fish and other articles of diet for meat supplies. The supply of sugar is not sufficient to carry the civilized war through the next harvest, if America continues to use that article as extravagantly as in the past. This country is consuming at the present time twice as much sugar per person as France. It is absolutely necessary that this amount be cut down to actual needs. In order that these facts may be brought home to every housewife of the United States that the Department of Food Administration of the Federal Government is planning a nationwide campaign from October 28th to November 3rd. This campaign aims at a house-to-house canvass and the securing of a pledge from every housewife to cooperate in this food conservation campaign. If every household in the State of Maryland is to be visited and the matter clearly explained to the house-wife, and her signature to the pledge card obtained, there must be engaged in this work during the week beginning October 28th, a large number of women who will give their time as officers of the Government to making the explanations and securing the signatures. Every woman in Maryland is therefore asked to sign a pledge card for herself and her family. FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR The clarion has sounded That food the war will win, We answer, aye, we'll heed it And count all waste a sin. A CALL TO SERVICE! It has developed in the recent canvass for pledges in the Food Conservation Campaign that many Maryland householders have declined from an entirely conscientious standpoint to sign the offered pledges. They have said that the saving of food supplies in their households rested with those who were employed to handle them. The weight of the argument has carried sufficiently with the Food Administration to move them to produce a campaign card with phraseology that puts the case squarely up to "those employed for a money compensation in the preparation of food," in other words, to the employed cook. It has thus been given to Maryland to place the responsibility where it naturally belongs, and to give a new dignity and a new standardization to the often too lightly reckoned position of the cook in the kitchen. Incidentally they have created a specially significant department to the campaign. This bringing to the fore of the cook and giving to her (or him) this very definite responsibility in this great world crisis must be met from that side with truly patriotic response. To the slogan that is being rung throughout the country, "FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR!" the answer must be, "WE WILL SAVE THE FOOD. In Maryland and largely throughout the Southern States the situation is in the hands of the colored women and this gives importance to the division which has been created for our Baltimore campaign which is to be inaugurated October 28th. A new opportunity is hereby offered to the Colored women of Maryland to express with a unique entirety their loyalty to the cause to which their country is pledged. The success of the Division is dependent upon each unit of the organization. The summarized message to each officer, to each enlisted volunteer, is, DO YOUR PART TO HELP WIN THE WAR!

THE FOLLOWING CERTIFICATE WILL BE GIVEN THOSE EMPLOYED FOR A MONETARY CONSIDERATION IN THE PREPARATION OF FOOD.

ELIZABETH TURNBULL SHOEMAKER General Commanding Maryland Division An Open Letter to the Women of Maryland DEAR MADAM The present war has brought American women face to face with an absolutely new situation. Their husbands, sons and brothers are fighting side by side with the soldiers of the Allies. The fight is America's as well as the Allies, and if they fail we must carry it on ourselves, or else America will witness on her own soil the same atrocities which Belgium and France have suffered. The sooner the Allies can win the war, the fewer of our American boys will lay down their lives upon the battlefield, and the sooner those who survive can return to us. But this war cannot be won without food, and the simple fact is that the entire present supply of certain staples is insufficient to take care of the Allies and ourselves unless we at home are willing to use these staples carefully each day, and every day, until the war ends. If we do not do this voluntarily, it will be necessary for the Government to apportion supplies as some of the European Governments are doing. The Government, therefore, asks every woman in America who is concerned in the preparation of food for home consumption to enroll herself in a volunteer army, pledged in so far as her circumstances make it possible, to an economical use of certain staple foods, and the substitution for them as far as possible, of other articles of which there is an adequate supply. Very truly yours, FRANCIS KING CAREY Chairman, Executive Committee. THE FOLLOWING DIVISION LIEUTENANTS Of the Maryland Food Conservation Army Will cooperate with Captain S. C. Fernandis. Many Volunteers are Needed. MISS IDA R. CUMMINGS MRS. MINNIE L. GAINES MRS. MARGARET G. HAWKINS MRS. K. BERTHA HURST MRS. ERMA BRUCE DAVIS MRS. MAMIE P. THOMAS MRS. S. J. FREY MRS. JENNIE C. JONES MRS. J. LOGAN JENKINS MRS. ISABELLE CLARK MRS. BERTHA SCOTT MRS. IDA HILTON MRS. DANIEL G. MACK MRS. JAMES R. L. DIGGS MRS. A. B. CALLI S MRS. R. GARLAND CHISSELL MRS. CHARLOTTE WHITING MRS. ESTELLE C. YOUNG MRS. MARY BRAXTON MRS. NANCY WASHINGTON MRS. EMMA M. DOWNS MRS. CORA JOHNSON MRS. WATKINS MISS MAMIE WASHINGTON A HOUSEWIFE'S MESSAGE In this great world crisis—in this great strife for world democracy—woman has a part to play as well as man. The war will not be won by force of arms alone. Economy in food, elimination of waste and the substitution for home consumption of those articles of diet not required at the front will insure a sufficient food supply for all—for the armies abroad and the people at home. While the men of the nation heroically stand on the firing line and face that menace to true democracy—the grim and implacable Hun—let the women at home realize that their duty is none the less patriotic and none the less important in bringing victory to our arms. Let the women of the nation, let the women of the Negro race help conserve the food supply that they may help to bring success to the arms of the just armies of the just cause, and let them pray that out of the great readjustment that will ensue, that the world will be made safe for a democracy that shall know no race, nor creed, no bond, nor free, but shall know the true brotherhood of man. MARGARET GREGORY HAWKINS ALL READY FOR FINAL DRIVE With the election only nine days off, the politicians in both of the big political parties are ready for the final drive. The bad feeling existing between the city and the State Democratic Organizations has heightened the spirits of the Republicans, and a big effort will be made to capture the legislature and the State Comptroller. William O. Atwood, the Republican nominee for State Comptroller, has visited many parts of the State in advocacy of his candidacy. Comptroller Hugh McMullen, who is making a big effort to be re-elected, may be cut by many city Democrats, it is said. Judge Robert F. Stanton is being backed by many city voters for re-election to the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City. He is regarded as having made an able and impartial judge, and many Democrats, including lawyers have announced that they will support him. NEGRO SUPPORT FOR OWENS Former State's Attorney Albert S. J. Owens, who is opposing Judge St.anton, has a wide acquaintance among Baltimoreans. It is said that efforts are being made to get many colored voters to support his candidacy. Former Congressman Charles R. Schirr is making a big effort to be elected Clerk of the Criminal Court of Baltimore City. He is a seasoned campaigner and enjoys a wide acquaintance. His Democratic opponent is George Carey Lindsay, present incumbent of the office. WOULD DEFEAT SPROESSER It is said that the friends of John S. Kelly are extremely desirous of capturing the Fourth Legislative District. They succeeded in 1912 when the Bull Moose movement split the Republican party wide open. Charles W. Greeble, who is connected with the State Accident Commission, is the Kelly candidate for the State Senatorship. He is being opposed by City Councilman Albert M. Sproesser, a former Republican member of the State Senate. Mr. Sproesser has always been regarded by all shades of Republicans as being a man interested in the success of his candidacy, and not a man who refuse to do anything for one because of race or religion. Some Republican workers assert that an effort has been made by Democratic politicians to cut a large number of colored men off the voting lists. Up in the Seventeenth ward they claim that about 150 colored Republicans were placed on the suspect list in that ward alone. As the notices did not reach a number of these "suspects" in time, there names were ordered stricken off the lists on Republican registers from the various counties state that the Republicans are fighting with confidence. The Negroes in the counties are unit for Republican success. AS TO ANNEXATION The action of the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference in its session last week, advising colored people to go slow about advising their people to vote for the annexation of more territory in the province will it become known whether or not the local housing segregation law would be extended to the new territory, fell upon the cars of Baltimore's colored population. The reason for this is that segregation is in no way an issue in the present campaign, the legality of various segregation laws now being before the United States Supreme Court for judicial interpretation. Thinking colored men of Baltimore believe in more territory for their city and to that end will give loyal support to the various Republican candidates. NOTICE There will be a great Woman's Day Meeting at Sharp St. Memorial M. E. Church, corner Dolphin and Etting streets under the auspices of the United Standing Association.

PAYABLE IN ADVANCE Three Months - - - Forty cents Six Months - - - Fifty Cents One Year - - - One Dollar SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1917 Baltimoreans have the satisfaction of knowing that the cost of a barrel of flour retail $11 to $11.30 was the bottom price in all of the large cities last week. This represents a reduction of more than three dollars over August prices. --- Beginning next Friday and from then on, place three cents on all letters going out of Baltimore, and two cents on all postal cards going out of the city. Local letters will continue to require two cents. Be careful and your mail won't be returned. --- Another protest parade in which the marchers walked silently thru the streets with banners stating the cause of their discontent has been staged successfully. This time in Providence, R. I. and on Sunday, Newport, and several other towns closed their church doors in order to allow their members to participate in the demonstration. Next. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, who made the address to the graduating class of the local High School last June spoke on Tuesday at the Y. M. C. A. in Cincinnati, Ohio, on "How the War will Solve the Race Problem." So far there have been no reports of Thrifts in the Ohio town answering back, and her statement that there will be greater freedom for colored folk after the war was accepted as a matter of course. James L. Patterson, who sprang into fame or ill-fame during the first term of President Wilson when he refused the nomination of the office register of the treasury because he would probably incite prejudice, heads the list as senior officer among those trained at Fort Des Motnes. Mr. Patterson made a flying trip to Washington just before the commissions were announced and it is reported that he not only owes his position on the list to his political influence but that the Democratic party leaders in Washington gave him permission to select as captains men likely to be of service to them in the next campaign. On the other hand it will be remembered that the war Department stated that the commissions would be awarded on merit alone. While the congressional inquiry of the E. Saint Louis riot drags on, the trial of the rioters by the local E. Saint Louis courts goes merrily on. Penalties of 14 years imprisonment have been imposed, and damages awarded to the families of those killed in the riot as provided by the Illinois state law. It is estimated that it will take 5 years before the court dockets will be free of cases and lawsuits arising for that one day's riot. In these times of trials and stress there is no room for anything else but work and hard work at that. Whatever sacrifices are to be made must be made by all—there must be no slackers. There is no room for petty jealousies nor bickerings as to who shall or who shall not get the honors. Honors are not the thing just in the present time unless it is honor won by hard, consistent work. Simply wearing a badge or button amounts to nothing—the thing required is service and sacrifice. The boys are going to the front and are making the biggest kind of sacrifice. It is very little for us to do when we only make a sacrifice of a little time and money to carry on the war and do what we can to make it as pleasant as possible for the boys in the trenches. Let us forget all this honor nonsense and get down to real work for this is the only thing that is going to count. JUDGE STANTON Every since the New Judge Movement in 1882, when the old judges were swept from the Supreme Bench and a new set elected, Baltimore has believed in a nonpartisan judiciary. The idea has increased as the years have gone by, and time and time again we have seen a judge succeed himself, despite the ambitions of some well-qualified lawyer. There are only two notable instances when the electorate refused to return two judges, both of whom were admirably qualified. That was the year when Judge Putzel, a Republican, and Judge Lehmayer, a Democrat, were defeated. The fact that they were Hebrews made many prejudiced voters knife them. The bar has always gotten behind a judge seeking re-election, never once stopping to consider whether or not he was a Republican or a Democrat. Baltimore has been extremely fortunate in having able men on its bench, and that has made thinking men lose sight of party affiliations in voting for them. It has tended to remove the judiciary from politics. Judge Stanton, a Republican appointed by Governor Goldsborough, has made a good jurist, judging by the endorsements that leading Democratic members of the bar have given him. Though his opponent is an able man, voters should further aid in continuing a nonpartisan judiciary by voting for Judge Stanton. Rube Marquard, (white) the big left-handed pitcher for whom Manager McGraw of the New York National League team payed $11,000 several years ago, but who now puts them over the plate for the Brooklyn National League Base Ball Club was fined $100 recently by his manager. Thereby hangs a tale. It appears that there was a clause in the contract of the big pitcher, which states that he may not take part in any ball game without permission. When it was announced that Marquard was to pitch against the Lincoln Giants, a colored team, the president of the Brooklyn Club notified Rube that the club refused to grant him the necessary permission. In spite of this Rube went ahead and played anyhow, and must now pay a fine of $100 to get back in the good graces of the Brooklyn Club. Here is how the Brooklyn Club felt about Rube's misbehavior; "The Brooklyn team is averse to permitting its team, or any of its players, participating in games with Negroes. There are only semi-professional Negro teams, and when there is an outcome like in yesterday's game, where Rube was beaten, President Ebbets believes it tends to lower the calibre of ball played by the big leagues in the eyes of the public, and at the same time makes the major league team the subject of ridicule at the hands of the more caustic fans." President Ebbets is quite right in fining his pitcher. It shows the big leaguers up too strongly in the right light to have them cross bats with colored teams and come off second best. Just think of it a team composed of Marquard, Chief Meyers and other well known white professionals losing to a team of colored semi-professionals. Unheard of. The next thing that will happen will be that fans will seriously doubt that the championship ball club of the world can be found in the National or American League. The truth of the matter is that several colored base ball teams in the East and West, the Lincoln Giants and the Chicago A. B. C.'s put up an article of base ball in no wise inferior to that played in the American and National Leagues. If the members of these clubs were white they would be listed among the nig leaguers. Several years ago these same Lincoln Giants, to use their own expression "stood the champion New York National club on their heads" in a game of Sunday base ball. Should things continue in this way for a couple of years longer everybody will find out that some colored teams are playing just as well as the best white teams. BUSINESS CO-OPERATION Dr. W.E.B. DuEols says he has found the remedy for the large number of business rallies among colored people every year. These ventures into the business field and failure soon thereafter have apparently convinced many people that the colored man has no business sense. The real reason is that the colored business man independently and with small capital, goes into business and into competition with persons having many times more capital and operating a chain of stores. Our independently run drug, grocery and notion stores are going to find the competition of the associated drug stores, the associated grocery company and the department stores hard to face unless they "cooperate." "Cooperation," says the Doctor, is the thing that will save the colored business men. Stores in which the whole community owns stock, shares in the profits, and directs the business, have been in operation in this country and in Europe for over fifty years. They have been successfully managed and saved their communities the middleman's profits. Because of this fact the large firms have seen to it that the public thru the press has heard little or nothing about them. Big business early recognized that if the country went in for cooperation on a large scale, the stock market and machinery that eats up the people's money would have to go. Experts, who have studied the case estimate that of every dollar the consumer spends for goods, fifty cents goes to the middleman for his handling of them. In many cases this middle man gets more than the man who grows or produces the goods in the first place. In a cooperative store where the consumer owned the shares, this fifty cents profit would be returned to him, and for every dollar spent, a dollar's worth could be bought. With 160 Captains and nearly 500 first and second lieutenants now in the regular army after the training at Fort Des Moines, the folks at home can expect that Uncle Sam has some major's and colonel's commissions up his sleeve for the officers that make good. If the war lasts long enough some of these men are going to "make" Brigadier General. The job is not an easy one the. Graduates of the white training camps already at work in the cantonments have been falling in large numbers. They have been falling down in their daily reports of the men and equipment committed to their charge. They have found, too, that an army officer is more than a good drill master—that an officer to succeed has got to be a combination hotel manager, school teacher and physician. If he fails in any one of these he is written up in the Army and Navy Journal as resigned. Our men, who have spent an extramonth at Fort Des Moines are much better prepared than other reserve officers, and in addition are in a position to profit by other's mistakes. One well-to-do club officer who expected that his occupation at the cantonment would give him plenty of time for social duties, found out that after he had filled out one entire day on his reports and crimes and inspections that he had very little energy left to socialize. The cantonment work is going to pe as still as the work at the training camp. Training raw recruits and developing non-commissioned officers is going to tax new officers. Beside this, the new battle formations of the French and British armies must be learned and practiced by both officers and men. The presence of the old officers from the regular army in the cantonments will aid materially in steadying and encouraging the newly commissioned. Meanwhile all the encouragement and good wishes of the home folks will be behind the men to make good in the cantonments as they made good in the camp. The Afro-American is in a position to put free literature on the co-operative business movement in the hands of interested business men. FORUM IS THE STANDARD TO BE The Maryland Colored State Teachers' Association through its Legislative Committee through several reconstructions, the Legislature at its 1916 session, among which was one calling for a highly trained supervisor of colored schools who in addition to his academic and technical qualifications for his task would be in full sympathy with the Negro's educational struggles through race sameness. The Legislature, however, following, or rather yielding to the powerful influence of Superintendent Cook of Baltimore County saw fit to appoint a white Assistant Superintendent of Education who would be in immediate charge of the Negro's educational program in Maryland. In due process of time this gentleman was selected, on what basis has not been made public. It must have been, however, because of his extreme "interest" in Negro education, for his efforts so far have been, it seems, to 'practicalize' the curriculum of the colored schools in the several counties. Twenty per cent of his time is now taken up in so-called industrial work, the making of mats, reed baskets, shoe-strings, chairs and the like that start at nowhere and end in the same place. serious attempt has yet been made to improve the character of instructions by the usual incentives of long tenure of office, just salaries and provisions for intellectual growth. In every county there are several high schools for white pupils, yet outside of Baltimore there is not a single one for colored children. Nor is any encouragement in most cases given to the advanced grammar grades in such schools as they have. It is even currently reported that the Normal School at Bowie, which has never been of very high rank, is to be even further industrialized. Now, when industrial education has for its object the making of a more efficient citizen in our economic life, when it is intended to prepare the youth to enter the great industrial fields of the country it will have, and ought to have, the whole-hearted support of every man of Negro blood. But when no such purpose is in view, when it is put forth to support a propaganda that has as its central prop the subordination of every aspiration of Negro manhood and womanhood, it is the vigor of one's being. PRAISES MD. COUNCIL Dear Mr. Editor: I read with great pleasure in your columns, the appointment of a colored council of National Defense by His Excellency, the Governor of Maryland. I was also pleased to notice that the said council has organized with the Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon as state chairman. With the personnel of the council, among whom are several prominent laymen and clergymen from different parts of Maryland, I can see nothing but success for this great organization. Let the leaders of our race prove by their co-operation and executive ability that they are worthy of the trust and confidence which has been placed in their hands by the executive of your state embodied by Governor Harrington's action. I wrote the Governor of Pennsylvania suggesting to him that a similar council be appointed in this state. In that letter I pointed out to His Excellency that the colored people of this nation are behind the government and are ready to give their services for the successful prosecution of this great war to which the United States has unreservedly pledged itself. I sincerely trust that the colored council of Maryland will be the forerunner of the creation of similar organizations throughout the country. With best wishes for the continued success of the Afro-American which is always a welcome visitor at the manse, I am. Yours very sincerely, MRS HILTON SURPRISED MRS HILTON SURPRISED On Friday night, October 12th, the members of Joseph L. H. Smith Lodge, No. 54, F. & A. M., tendered a surprise to Mrs. Ida M. Hilton, 554 Dolphin street. Mrs. Hilton was the owner of a house bought in the Rally of April 10th and it was thus her uniring efforts and influence that the lodge landed in second place; and to show their appreciation, the members decided on the surprise. Quite a few were present and a number of nice things were said extolling the many virtues of "our queen." Mr. Wm. L. Fitzgerald was selected to make the presentation which was a ten dollar gold piece, and he performed his task so well that he won the plaudits from the entire number present. Mrs. Hilton responded in a few well chosen words which left no doubt in the minds of her hearers as to her feeling of gratitude to the lodge, which was cause for more applause. There was an abundance of refreshments. Many of her hearers asked Mr. Charles W. Simms and the members of the lodge were Miss Maggie Thomas, Miss Ritch Handy and Mr. Thomas H. Payne, the father of the lodge. P. O. CLERKS DINED The junior clerks of the local post office tendered the senior clerks of the mailing division a luncheon on Thursday afternoon, October 18th at the residence of Mr. Harvey R. Johnson, 423 Mosher street. Mr. Wilbur H. Waters who was tostmaster for the occasion very creditably filled his position. The senior clerks present were Messrs. Henry O. Deman. Stephen W. Jones, Harvey R. Johnson, Charles J. Lane, Jr., Wesley H. Thomas and Poscoe C. Mitchell. Each responded with a few appropriate remarks. Those of the senior clerks of this division who were unable to be present were Messrs. Walter H. Butler, J. Emory Bond, Aaron M. Cummings and James M. Bright. GATHER IN 50TH SESSION Order of Moses Holds Jubilee in New York The Grand Encampment of the Order of Moses held its fiftieth annual session at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church last week.

'Round About the Town MORGAN'S JUBILEE The outlook for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Morgan College, which takes place on November 26th and 27th, indicates that it will be a notable occasion. Dr. J. O. Spencer, president of the institution, and Dean William Pickens have been assured of hearty co-operation from various sources. Should the weather be favorable on the afterhoon of Tuesday, November 27th, a pilgrimage of alumni, former students, teachers and numerous friends will be made to the new site for the college on the Hillen Road. Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, and Dr. John F. Goucher, a trustee of Morgan College, will be the principal speakers at a big meeting at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church at night. Governor Harrington will be the principal speaker at another meeting in the same church the following night. He will be introduced by Dr. Ernest Lyon. A movement is now on foot to raise $60,000 to cover the cost of the new site on the Hillen Road. Leading whites will give $50,000, should the colored people give $10,000. Truly Hatchett is chairman of the committee that is trying to raise the $10,000. A concert to aid in securing the amount needed will be given at Sharp Street Memorial M. B. Church, Friday evening of next week. Clarence Cameron White, of Boston, will be the violin soloist, and Miss Cleota Collins, the soprano. FINE SACRED CONCERT One of the best sacred concerts given in the city in recent months took place at the Regent Theater last Sunday night under the auspices of Monumental Lodge of Elks. The theater had been kindly donated by the Hornstein Amusement Company and all the participants gave their services free. The concert was given largely through the interest of Prof. Isaiah Thompson, leader of Thompson's Orchestra, and a member of Monumental Lodge. Over 700 persons were present and more than $100 was raised toward the $5,000 fund that local Elks are trying to raise for the entertainment of the session of the Grand Lodge here next August. William Lewis presided. William Marion Cook came on from New York city and played his "Exhortation," which was sung by Robert J. Young's Royal Ponchana Sextette. Mr. Creighton Thompson, of New York, sang Coloridge Taylor's "Thou Art Rise, My Beloved." Others who took part included Miss Carrie M. Smith, Mrs. Lillian Reid Thompson, Mr. Samuel T. Hemsley, Mr. Arthur Scott, Dr. W. William H. Cargill, Mr. Edward Christian and Messrs. Bunch, Johnson and Beads, of the Alphain Glee Club. Mr. Joseph Porter recited to the delight of the audience Dunbar's "When the Corn Pone's Hot." Messrs. George W. F. McMechen, grand attorney of the Order, and Jeremiah Hill, exalted ruler of the local lodge delivered brief addresses. REV. SCOTT RETIRED Rev. Dr. E. W. Scott, for many years president of the Colored Meth. odist Protestant Conference, was retired at a meeting held at St. James M. P. Church. Dover street, Wednesday of last week. While there was no successor chosen, there were several present who would have liked to succeed the venerable minister. Dr. Scott was opposed to being retired, it is said, but opposition had been brewing against him for some time. Only a few days his wife, who was Mrs. Amanda V. Carroll, sued him for a partial divorce. She alleges ill treatment. They were married in November, 1014, and lived together until last July. A. M. E. MINISTERS Rev E. N. Thomas, read a paper before the A. M. E. Ministers' Meeting last Monday on "Is the Church Progressive in Its Financial Methods?" Revs. C. H. Murray, C. H. Stepteau, J. W. Norris, W. H. Williams, J. G. Martin, J. R. Nelson and A. L. Gaines were among those who took part in the discussion. Dr. Stepteau said that there should be a change in the method of paying presiding elders, conference dependents and the widows of deceased ministers, urging that there should be a centralization of funds. Dr. Gaines objected to the Stepteau idea, declaring that widows should not receive anything and that a minister during his life should provide for the maintenance of his wife and children. Bishop Hurst also spoke. He suggested all ministers should take a special collection next Sunday to aid in the employment of counsel in the case of John Snowden, who is in jail in Annapolis charged with the murder of a white woman. SCHOOL BUYS LIBERTY BOND The children of School 101, Jefferson and Caroline streets, raised $50, and Principal William Anderson purchased a liberty bond for them this week. The pupils of School 103, Division street, expect to have Principal William H. Lee buy at least two bonds and those at the Frederick Douglas and other schools are hustling like trojans to help replenish Uncle Sam's coffers. THE MAJOR DID NOT FLY The rookies who returned from camp at Fort Des Moines tell of an interesting story that. Major Allen Washington told on himself and Major Robert R. Moton while the two were visiting the camp. The two majors were visiting an aviation camp at Hampton, Va., the story runs. Everything about giant aircraft had been explained to them. Major Washington overheard one of the officers at the camp tell another officer that the two majors might be given a trip in one of the air ships. Major Washington immediately remembered having a pressing engagement at Hampton Institute, where he is commandant of cadets. Major Moton was left to accept or decline the invitation. Tuskegee's principal is known as a pious man who can sing the old Negro sorrow songs with fervor, but it is not recorded that he took the skyward flight. The soldiers are of the opinion that standing on Mother Earth seemed more alluring to Major Moton than soaring heavenward. GRAND SACRED MUSICAL Extravaganza will be rendered at the REGENT THEATRE October 28, this Sunday, 4.30 to 10 p. m. Vocal selections by Baltimore's best. silver tenor.

Dr. R. W. S. Thomas, preached at night. The installation of a new boiler at the Argyle Avenue Baths caused quite a number of men and women to miss their accustomed baths the early part of the week.

Hill Street and 826 Druid Hill Avenue BALTIMORE, MD. . Women's Department. BY MARGARET BLACK One day not very long ago, I asked a little girl, "did she like soup." "Like soup," she asked. "Well I guess I do. We have soup once a week, and I am always glad when soup day comes around, because no matter how late I am for dinner, it is good and hot, and when I'm cold it warms me up, quicker than anything I can eat. Our dinner is kept hot now but we come in one and two at a time and it is hard to keep a dinner hot, without drying it up. Auntie told mother to put our dinner on a plate and set it in the steamer, but altho that keeps it moist as well as hot, it does not taste good like soup. A good dish of hot soup and a saucer of crackers is all I want. Like soup, well I guess I do." And they are so nourishing. There are many mothers who often wonder what to get for luncheon or who must have their dinners at twelve o'clock, and with a large growing family, in school, some coming for dinner at 12 some at 2.30 and some at 3, and they are puzzled what to do, and then most children relish soup more than any other food. Soup consumes so much time in the making you say, well not any more time than preparing two or three vegetables. The weather is cool and gradually getting colder and boiled stock can be kept very easily for a week. When you go to market buy yourself two good soup bones, a beef one and a veal one. Wash and dry them and put on to boil in a large kettle that will hold at least a gallon and a half of water. If you have any chicken bones or giblets from the chicken you have for your Sunday dinner, these to your stock also. Half day and then meat and bones are removed you have one gallon of stock. Let it get cold and skim the grease from the top, cover with a clean cloth and set away in a cool place until needed. If you wish vegetable soup, take one quart of the stock, use all the left over vegetables you have ready cooked on hand ctu them up small and add to the stock. Season with parsley, salt, pepper and a little onion, carrot and sage if liked, let all boil for a couple of hours and add, if needed, a quart of boiling water while cooking. If you have no left-over vegetables, then add whatever you like to it. But the left-over vegetables, quart of stock all quart of boiling water all boiled together for couple of hours, make a thicker and more nourishing soup, than a soup with fresh vegetables as it takes longer to cook soup with fresh vegetables. For tomato soup take a can of tomatoes run thru a sieve, and add a quart of stock, let boil for an hour, add a teaspoonful of sugar, a tablespoonful of butter, rolled in a tablespoonful of flour and pepper and salt to taste. A half-cupful of boiled rice added to it improves it greatly. Simmer 10 minutes and serve with crackers or square of toasted stale bread. For bean soup soak desired density cover with two quarts of boiling water and boil until the beans are tender and broken to pieces. If preferred you can rub thru a sieve, return to the fire add one quart of the stock and season to taste. This soup makes an excellent luncheon dish served with either crackers or fried bread. Pea soup, one large cupful of dried split green or yellow peas soaked over night, drain cover with one quart of water and one quart of stock, bring to boil slowly until tender and soft and celery and a turnover to the fire, thicken with a tablespoonful of butter and flour together and season with pepper and salt and celery and a little onion juice. Stir until smooth and serve with crackers or stale bread. SAVING THE GAS BILL Our town has only Electricity, and I am indebted to a friend for the following article on saving your gas and how to use it to an advantage when you are using only a gas range or just using your gas range for summer and Fall use or in emergency cases, anyway it may help some one to lessen that gas bill, that has become such a big blow. "The gas bill is one of unknown quantities in the expense of modern housekeeping, but this should not worry her if she takes care of the gas range in her apartment or house. When a pot has reached the boiling point, turn the gas at about half a little salt. APPLE TAPIOCA 4 tablespoons granulated tapa 4 apples 4 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg Wash and boil the tapioca in 4 water. Add salt and half of the nutmeg. Boil until clear. Pare and core the apples. Plain shallow pan; pour over the top and sprinkle the top with the sugar. Bake in moderate until apples are tender. Serve milk or red jelly, or both. DUBOIS CIRCLE MEETS The DuBois Circle held its first fall meeting, Friday, October 19th, 1917. Mrs. Halligan H. Burton, of Cambridge, Md., was hostess and entertained at the home of her parents, Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Holmes, of Pine street.

FIRST ANNUAL BANQUET FIRST ANNUAL BANQUET The Linckinel Club gave its first annual banquet of its well-appointed club on October 1057 W. Lexington Street, Thursday evening of last week. The function was a most enjoyable affair, and the menu included everything that one's appetite might wish. The Southern Star Band discoursed music. Besides a large number of members and friends, quite a number of ladies were present, thus adding attractiveness to the affair. Mr. James Fossett committee and Mr. Robert Smith secretary. The club will give a big ball at Good Hope Hall next Monday evening, October 29. The officers of the club are: Clarence Hall, president; Charles Jones, vice president; Herman Bowsticks, financial secretary; Arthur McCorrish, recording secretary; Daniel Peals, treasurer; Powell Earkett, assistant treasurer; William Hebron, sergeant-at-arms; William Hopkins, assistant sergeant-at-arms; Albert Hebron, chapman; and Moses Fields, marshal. SOUPS point, and the soup, or whatever is being boiled will be cooked in fine order and in the same time and with half the gas which a full burner would have consumed. An asbestos mat, or one of tin, put over one burner will accommodate three iron and heat them evenly. The oven must be smooth the gas filner, and half the gas is saved, if not more than half. If you are in a hurry turn a pan over the irons to conserve the heat. The burners in the oven can be regulated as well, for baking cakes or bread, but for plies or quick biscuits, or for broiling the house. But the oven must be very instance, the oven must be hot before the bread or steak is put to cook. I have also found, that having all articles intended for the top of the range prepared and ready for the flame before the gas is lighted, saves. If more than one burner is to be used have each article ready before the respective burner for each one is lighted. Do not light them all at the same time to save a match, "it is saving at the spigot and losing at the bung." Matches are costly but gas more so. Do not blame the gas company for "doing" you, if care is not taken from month's end to month's end. In boiling soups or vegetables, after bringing it to the boiling point, turn the gas low enough just to gently boil. It will save pouring in more water, and you can go upstairs and get your morning's work accomplished or talk to a caller for an hour with the oven, and the soup will have all the good vegetable flavor and save gas. I have no steamer, but I discovered that by putting on a dish pan one-third full of water over one gas burner, stew or whatever you wish to cook in straight crocks or saucepans, that I could cook several things at once with no fear of burns and that I was always ready. My husband made me a small rack for the bottom of the dish pan, which keeps the crocks from the bottom of the pan to keep them from cracking. In cooking potatoes, those that are to be baked should stand at least one-half hour in hot water before putting in the oven and they will bake quicker and also save gas. When cooking roasts in your oven always put the pot on the stove and pour boiling water to cover over them, put a plate on top and stand the pan in the oven. When baking rice pudding, escalloped potatoes, macaroni, or anything that requires a long time, start it to boil on the top of the stove before putting it into the oven. It will bake in half the time and save gas. Most gas ranges are supplied with a tiny burner for keeping things warm. I use mine for slow boiling and so save gas. I often start my pot to boiling, remove it to that ever handy small burner, and go out to market, with an easy mind, knowing if I should not get back directly on time, my pot will not boil dry, nor my soup or vegetables if you don't have a smaller gas bill at the end of the month. If you have a girl, then show her how to save gas, and see that she does it. Few girls, that won't thank you, because no one likes to be on the jump all the time for fear something will burn.

He is highly recommended. In ancient Egypt, Spiritualism was the very foundation of the national religion. The Egyptian High Priest taught the initiated that the soul was immortal, and the visible world is but the picture of the invisible spiritual world. Spiritualism was demonstrated and practiced through the age. Spiritualism is not Ghost-ism; Spiritualism means to converse with unseen intelligencies and it is as ancient as remotest antiquity. Spiritualism "theories were all spiritual, Paul saw a "house not made with hands eternal in the heavens." He had visions he was entranced; heard voices; spirit intelligencies speaking to him out of the unseen. Read what the Bible says: "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Now their are diversities of gifts but the same spirit. Eat the manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyone to profile spiritual. For to one is given by the Spirit, the word of wisdom, knowledge, faith, gift of healing, the working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits and all other gifts." Cor. XII 1, 4, 7-10.

Lnovegity Medical Co., Baltimore, Md. For 17 years I was tormented with a terrible skin disease which the doctors called ECZEMA. It set me at times almost crazy from litching. During these years I wanted to hospital and tried about 30 doctors without relief. The disease never checked. My son took me to Dr. Campbell, the specialist, 1369 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md. He treated me seven months and I am now completely cured. If anyone happens to suffer with such awful skin disease, go to Dr. Campbell, who I believ, can cure anything a person was not born with, and he is, to my mind, the best doctor in the world. MRS.
