WHERE THEY MINGLE WITH THEST SPECIMENS OF HI THE DOWNWARD ROAD DATION. There is no race of people in the wide world who hate to hear the plain unvarnished truth, like unto the Afro-Americans, as long as they are jollied and are made to believe that they are not what they really are, they are ready to cannonize those who are capable of dishing up taffy to them into blessed saints, but on the other hand if they attempt to tell the truth and shame, the boss devil himself; they receive the horse laugh and are branded as soft brained fools and they are ready to crush them down and out. No one can successfully deny this fact, and it may be the means of knocking several dollars out of our pocket, nevertheless we intend to proceed along this line regardless of the consequences. It must therefore be admitted by all those who are honest with themselves that there are many Afro-American parents in Chicago, who absolutely fail in every way in training their children up properly, they will swill beer and whisky, use all kinds of bad language and fight and quarrel with each other in the presence of their children. They are not concerned about the welfare of their offspring as long as they can cut a wide swath in society and do some tall side stepping themselves whenever they can catch on to someone that they can work to a dead stand still. Many of these parents utterly fail to realize it that they are committing an unpardonable wrong or crime in permitting their children to do as they please in all things and at all times, which in many cases is to their great determent. Some of these parents who delight to pose as being some pun- JESSE BINGA THE BANKER, PREDICTS GREAT ACTIVITY, IN SOUTH SIDE REAL ESTATE THIS COMING SPRING. Jesse Binga, the only Afro-American banker in Chicago, State street and 36th place, who understands the real estate business from A to Z. Freely predicts that there will be a great amount of activity in South side real estate this coming spring. He is firmly of the opinion, that people with small and large amounts of money to invest, cannot make a mistake by carefully looking around, and picking up some of the many bargains in South side property; that real estate holdings on the South side are good investments and with the rapid growth of the city on Southward, property is bound to increase in value. HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY kins. Permit their children to attend the public schools in untidy conditions in every way and then they are good and ready to fight and cuss out the lady teachers for not taking an interest in their unwashed, uncombed and dirty looking children and for failing to let them do as they please in all things: many of the mothers of these children spend most of their evenings in drinking highballs and common beer and in having what they call a good time that they are too Alfred lazy to get up early enough in the mornings and get something warm for their children to eat and to get them ready in every way before they start to school. They permit them, to race on roam the streets, at unseemingly hours of the night; and they seem to be perfectly indifferent as to their whereabouts or conduct whether it is good or bad. In other words; they take no more interest in their children and their proper training, than they do in wild animals, and the result is that the reformatory schools in this city and state, and other penal institutions, contain hundreds, yes, thousands of Colored children whose parents fail to plant the seeds of right living in them, and to train them up properly, at the time when it was possible to direct their lives in the proper channel. They permit their beautiful young daughters, unattended, or in company with sporty young fellows, who are seeking every opportunity, to dispoil them, to frequent the lowest and the vilest five cent theatres, where they freely mingle with the worst and coarsest specimens of humanity, and start on the downward road to ruin and degedation. Mr. Binga is also of the opinion that there will be a slight advance in rents, for first class houses and flats on the South side. ATTORNEY WILLIAM L. MARTIN, WAS NOT LOOKING AFTER THE INTEREST OF DAVID J. M. BIAS, IN HIS LAST DIVORCE SUIT. William L. Martin, 155 Washington street, 'Phone Main 4852, it appears was not the attorney for David J. M. Bias, at the time his divorce suit was thrown out of Judge Chetlain's court a few weeks ago. Attorney Martin is positive that if he had continued to handle the legal battle to the end, for Mr. Bias, he would have won the divorce suit for him with both hands down. CHICAGO, MARCH 5, 1910. M.

Undertakers generally seem to be considerably worked up because of the low prices which will be charged for caskets and funeral services owing to the common sense economical business methods of the Western Casket and Undertaking company. This concern which manufactures all of its own goods in its own factory, is distributing them through its own local stores. This is revolutionizing the methods that have prevailed for decades in the undertaking business. The Embalmers' Monthly, one of the official organs of the undertakers, makes the following comments on this new venture which has so keenly aroused the public: "There is no denying that they are going about the work of molding public opinion in a very skillful and systematic manner. This advertising is primarily based on the/argument of price? It is very cleverly worded, and carefully thought out. They have evidently secured some good professional advertising service, and are starting a well planned campaign of publicity. "Whether the undertaking business can ever be established on a basis of price is still to be demonstrated, but that the concern back of this advertising is going about it in a thorough manner there can be little doubt. If they do nothing else they will show the cut price advertisers how to advertise on a cut price basis without going into typographical convulsions. Ineed, this class of advertising is calculated to hurt nobody's business so much as that of the cut price undertaker." In its editorial section the same publication admits that it may possibly be the fault of undertakers to place the burden of the total expense of the funeral on the casket, for it says: "This departure emphasizes the folly of the old method of making the casket bear the burden. This has indeed been the foundation of the charge of exorbitant prices sometimes made against the undertaker. Casket prices may be commercialized,' but personal and professional service cannot. If this new undertaking scheme leads to a realization of the necessity of a better division of charges between the casket and the professional service, it will not be an altogether unmixed evil." A person is naturally reluctant about thinking that some day he will have-to of necessity engage in a transaction with an undertaker. It is a thought most of us hold as far away as possible. It is this very lack of thought that enables undertakers to charge an exorbitant price. If men and women were posted on this subject the same as they are in other things that they purchase, then the possibility of exorbitant charges would be remote. It is reported by Mr. D. S. Sattler, president and treasurer of the Western Casket and Undertaking company that many people have taken advantage of their services and that he is in receipt of many letters from welfare-workers commending and wishing him success in the work he is now doing. Mr. W. E. Gerry, vice president and general manager of the Western Casket and Undertaking company, said that he was perfectly satisfied with the progress made and that he looks forward to the hearty endorsement of the people as soon as they fully understand the principles upon which they are working. It is understood that the Western Casket and Undertaking company have received letters from undertakers in all sections of the country urging them to come to their respective cities and they would co-operate with them and work on the same plan they have been following in Chicago. It would undoubtedly be to the interest of the people if / there were fewer undertakers in Chicago, because each would secure more business and would in consequence charge much lower prices.—From the Inter Ocean, Feb. 20, 1910. The National Association for the Study and Preven- tion of Tuberculosis. CONTINUES TO WAGE A PERSISTENT FIGHT AGAINST THE GREAT WHITE PLAGUE IN ALL PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES. INTERESTING NOTES ON THAT DREADED AND TERRIBLE DISEASE FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD. In order to show that spitting on the sidewalks is dangerous to health, an investigation has been made by Dr. John Robertson, Medical Health Officer of Birmingham England, which shows that seven per cent of the "spits" collected in public places contain consumption germs. On the other hand the dust collected from the floors of the cottages of the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium has been found to be free of tuberculosis germs, showing that a careful consumptive is not dangerous. Providence, Boston, New York Pittsburg, Chicago, Hartford Conn., Brookline, Mass., and Rochester, N. Y. A significant phase of the campaign against tuberculosis is Sweden is the establishment, by various industrial concerns, osanatoria for tuberculous work men from their own factories. The Vulcan Match Company, the Ljusne-Voxne Timber Company Sandniken Hardware Company the Eriksson Telephone Company and the Stora Koppa Consul-General George Horton has made a report from Athens on the conspicuous work of Greek physicians in combating the country's two chief scourges—malarial fever and tuberculosis. An annual average of 2,000 persons die each year from the former, while in epidemic years, due to excessive rains the number exceeds 6,000, which was the case in 1905. The population of Greece is 2,433,806. The people have been interested through lectures, pamphlets, etc., to fight the malaria-carrying mosquito by draining stagnant ponds and throwing petroleum on them. A tuberculosis congress will be held in Athens next year, to which will be invited not only physicians, but all the mayors and other prominent people of Greece. Under legislation enacted in 1905 the Danish Government pays three-fourths of the expenses of all poor persons who desire to be treated in tuberculosis sanatoria. When the hospitals under construction are completed, Denmark will have one bed in tuberculosis hospitals or sanatoria for every 1,200 inhabitants, a fact which will mean that the length of treatment can be considerably extended. In the United States there is one bed for every 4,500 inhabitants. Efforts are being made in Bulgaria to abolish the numerous monasteries and convents of the Greek Catholic Church and to use their buildings and revenues for the establishment and maintenance of tuberculosis sanatoria. King Ferdinand has given 100,000 francs for the erection of a national sanatorium. The death rate from tuberculosis in Bulgaria is very high, being 31 for every 10,000 living. The compulsory state system of sickness insurance instituted in 1884 in Germany has proved a powerful factor in combating tuberculosis. No less powerful have been the public sanatoria, the number of beds in which have increased during the past fifteen years from 243 to 8,422. Of the 200 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals in Germany, 35 are supported by the carriers of sickness insurance. The statistics of the Imperial insurance department show, that as many as 42 per cent of the number of persons treated in these institutions remained in good working health five years after being dismissed from the sanatorium. London has three open-air schools for tuberculous children. Similar institutions have been established in the United States in Association and Preven- Tuberculosis. RESPISTENT FIGHT AGAINST CLAGUE IN ALL PARTS OF WHAT DREADED AND TERRI- L AROUND THE WORLD. Providence, Boston, New York, Pittsburg, Chicago, Hartford, Conn., Brookline, Mass., and Rochester, N. Y. A significant phase of the campaign against tuberculosis in Sweden is the establishment, by various industrial concerns, of sanatoria for tuberculous workmen from their own factories. The Vulcan Match Company, the Ljusne-Voxne Timber Company Sandniken Hardware Company, the Eriksson Telephone Company and the Stora Kopparsberg Company are among those who maintain such institutions, each accommodating from fifteen to thirty patients. At these sanatoria the workmen are received free, and their families may be admitted for a small charge. A bill will be brought before the new British Parliament, calling for steps to be taken to prevent the high mortality from tuberculosis in Ireland. The bill will demand the compulsory notification and registration of tuberculosis cases, the establishment of special institutions for consumptive patients, the instruction of the public about this disease, and improved control over the meat and milk supplies. The death rate per 10,000 from tuberculosis in Victoria, Australia, has fallen from 14.58 in 1890 to 9.58 in 1907, and in Melbourne and suburbs from 20 in 1890 to 11.6 in 1907. The fall is attributed to the aggressive campaign against this disease, including the registration of tuberculosis cases, the erection of institutions for treatment and the general improvement of sanitary and working conditions. The Newfoundland Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis is carrying on a vigorous and necessary campaign this year in the island. The death rate from the disease in Newfoundland is very large. About one in every five of the total population dies of it, and, what is worse, in the last six years the death rate, which is stationary or decreasing elsewhere, has increased about 50 per cent. This is due largely to the native horror of fresh air in the house. Iceland has a Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis and is building a $75,000 sanatorium to accommodate 50 or 60 patients. An All-Russian Anti-Tuberculosis Association has been formed with headquarters at Moscow. Societies for the promotion of public health measures and particularly for the erection of tuberculosis sanatoria have been formed in Bosnia and Herzegovinia. According to the statement of a Greek pastor of Lowell, Mass., sixty per cent of the large Greek population living in that city are afflicted with tuberculosis. Federal meat inspectors have shown that two per cent of the 56,000,000 hogs in this country a year ago, and valued then at $339,000,000, are affected with tuberculosis. --- THE BROADAX Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of the Church, Priest, Sabbath, Single Taxman, Republican, or anyone else can have their say, as long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

TO / BUILD THEATRE FOR COLORED PEOPLE. Baltimore Capitalists to Invest Big Money in Venture at the Capital. Wash.-The Nat'l. Amusement Co., a corporation of Baltimore capitalists, white, have taken out a permit here today Feb. 26, for the erection of a $75,000 building on T street near 7th to be used as a first class theatre for Colored patrons. It is to have a seating capacity of 1,600, with a stage as large as any in the city, and dressing rooms suitable for any of the traveling companies. The theatre will be located in the heart of the section where the best Colored people live and will doubtless fill a long felt want, as Colored companies of the Bert Williams, S. H. Dudley and Cole & Johnson type have been unable to secure reputable houses in Washington. And Colored people have been compelled to journey to Baltimore to se their favorite actors. The building is to have a frontage of 85 feet on T street by a depth of 120 feet. It will be constructed of Pompeian brick, with Indiana limestone.trimmings and a granite base. With a skeleton of steel and all floors, balcony and steps of reinforced concrete, the building will be as nearly fireproof as it is possible to make such a structure. The doors will be thrown open to the public on September 1st. Messrs. Daly and Faulkner and Daly, of Baltimore will be the lessees and managers. It is also stated that Baltimore, is to have another new theatre for the better class of Colored people, and that it will be managed by the same white, gentlemen who will construct and run the theatre in Washington for Colored people.

Canada's senate consists of eighty-seven members, nominated for life by the governor general. They must all be thirty or over and possess at least $4,000 worth of property. They are paid $2,500 per annum. A King's Economy An example of George III.'s economies is so curious as almost to suggest that it must have betokened approaching insanity. He actually let out the cream colored horses used for his state coach to a jobmaster, who "thinks from the great receipt of custom that they will draw him into an easy fortune." Hats. We owe the hat to Asia, for it was in that country that the art of felting wool was first known, and from the most remote periods the art was carried on by the orientals. A Clear Cut Warning "Young ladies," said an absentminded teacher of Latin to his class in Virgil, "I understand that you count upon my calling on you in alphabetical order and prepare your lessons accordingly. I am surprised and disappointed at such conduct. Hereafter I warn you I shall begin at the other end of the alphabet." British House of Commons. The house of commons was originated by Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, in 1258, to strengthen his own power in opposition to Henry III. Tin Plates The manufacture of tin plates originated in Bohemia, hammered iron plates having been coated with tin in that country some time before the year 1600. Forgery. Forgery. As recently as 1837 forgery was punishable by death in Great Britain. Durable Ink. Known as the "old English record ink," there is a special writing fluid officially prescribed by the law of England for use by registrars of births, deaths and marriages. Submarine Fog Signals. Submarine fog signals can be heard fifteen miles. Harps. Some harps have been discovered in Egyptian tombs the strings of which in several instances were intact and gave forth distinct sounds after an estimated silence of 3,000 years. A Horse's Foot. The foot of a horse is one of the most ingenious and unexamplied pieces of mechanism in the whole range of animal structure. A Jefferson Monument. At Columbia, Mo., on the university campus, is the only monument to Thomas Jefferson on the Louisiana purchase. It is very simple and was designed by Jefferson himself for his grave at Monticello. The inscription is from papers found among Jefferson's belongings after his death. Phone Mala 6153 NOTARY PUBLIC Phone residences, Gray 6470 ATTORNEY AT LAW Suite 708, 171 Washington st.

The reliable Pomade for Ladies and Gentlemen. John H. Montgomery, Druggist Gerald Bldg., 26th and State Street, Chicago If the earth did not rotate no water could be got to flow away from the pole. But the centrifugal force of rotation allows this to happen. Breathing of Insects. Insects generally breathe through special pores in various parts of their bodies, and if these pores are closed by oil they are suffocated. Any one may test this by dropping sweet oil on the thorax or back of a wasp. It very soon dies. For this reason oil has been found one of the best things to use for the destruction of insects. Turkey Red. Turkey red is made from the madder plant, which grows in India. British Columbia Indians. The redskin of British Columbia is a good farmer, and his house is scrupulously clean. Usually it consists of two or three rooms and cellar, where supplies are kept. The mosquitoes of India have great fun with the bicyclists. They not only lance the riders, but actually puncture the bicycle tires. Flat Noses Considered Beautiful. In ancient Persia an aquiline nose was often thought worthy of the crown, but the Sumatran mother carefully flattens the nose of her daughter. Among some of the savage tribes continual pressure is applied to the skull in order to flatten it and thus give it a new beauty. Deaths and Births at Sea. For every birth occurring at sea there are about sixteen deaths. The House of Lords. The house of lords originated in the king's great council, as it existed in the reigns immediately following the conquest. Gamboge Yellow. The yellow sap of a Siam tree produces gamboge yellow. Rice. The most careful chemical analyses have demonstrated that rice possesses more nutriment than wheat, oats or barley. It will sustain life longer than any other starch producing plant. The Chinese and Japanese live upon it, endure great fatigue and work harder than the people of any other nation. Turkey Red. S. E. Cor.

This is the harvest time for him, And while the sun's asleep He hustles forth his forces grim His frozen hay to reap. In barns upon the banks they store Each rugged blue white cake And stuff in more and more and more Until the big barns ache. In summer will the iceman ride In automobiles twain. While those who have to leap aside Must buy and swell his gain. —Buffalo Express. Making a Bad Matter Worse. "Why do you write your rhymes without dividing the lines—that is, why do you run the stuff all together as if it were prose?" "I do that for the purpose of piquing the reader's curiosity." "Gee whiz!' isn't it bad enough to get a fellow to read a poem without adding insult to injury by pluing his curiosity"—Chicago Record-Herald. Women Plan to Erect Public Hall. It is gratifying to note the success of the Moorman-Harper company in Brooklyn, which has for its object the erection of a modern hall in which the many secret and benevolent societies among our people may hold their business meetings and also their public entertainments. No more worthy enterprise than this which the women are pushing forward could be undertaken for the good of the race. Noted Men to Speak at Howard. President Taft has been invited to deliver an address at the formal opening of the Carnegie library at Howard university, Washington, on Thursday, March 10. The new library building cost $50,000, which sum was donated by Andrew Carnegie. There will be many distinguished educators and prominent government officials present, many of whom will also deliver brief addresses. Atlanta Gets Sunday School Congress. The fifth annual meeting of the Sunday school congress movement among Afro-Americans will be held at Atlanta, Ga., in the Liberty Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr. J. W. Jackson is pastor, from May 25 to 20 inclusive. Religious workers from all sections of the country are expected to be in attendance. --- Harvest. HILLMAN'S STATE & WASHINGTON STS.
