The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX Mussini Ninjao Mustin Cruzago MR. THOMAS TAYLOR, JB. Master in Chancery of the Circuit court highly polished gentleman at all times warm friend of worthy Afro-Americans and Republican candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County. No candidate before the voters of Cook County is more fitted for the office of Judge of the Circuit Court than Thomas Taylor, Jr. He has been given the highest vote ever accorded a candidate not a sitting Judge in the Chicago Bar Association Primaries and received even a higher vote than many of the present Judges. This endorsement was given to him by his brother attorneys who have for the past twenty years had contested cases before him as Master in Chancery of the Circuit Court. In his twenty years in that position he has reported in over 1,000 contested cases. Mr. Taylor is by temperament, legal training and experience the type of man this County needs on the Circuit Bench and should receive the support of all who have the welfare of the Judiciary at heart. Mr. Taylor is fifty-five years of age and received his training at Knox College and the University of Harvard School of Law, after which he spent a short time doing post graduate work at the Universities of Berlin and Vienna. He was admitted to the Suffolk County (Mass.) bar, and for a year practiced law in Boston. In 1887 he --- [Name not visible] MR. JUSTICE EDWARD OSGOOD BROWN President of the Chicago branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who has always been a true friend of the Afro-American race, and in his race for rejection as one of the judges of the circuit court he should heartily receive the votes of all those regardless of their politics or nationality who are in favor of liberty and justice. Vol. XX. came to Chicago to reside and since that time has been actively engaged in law practice. Mr. Taylor's name is on the roster of the Chicago, University, Law, City and Hamilton Clubs. He formerly was President of the Harvard Club of Chicago. He is a member of the Chicago, Illinois and American Bar Associations. In 1906 he was appointed by Governor Charles S. Deneen a delegate to the National Congress on uniform law. His residence is in Winnetka. He is married and has two sons in college. He was born near Birmingham and came to this country when eight years of age. Practically all of his life has been spent in Illinois. Mr. Taylor is full to the brim with the milk of human kindness and for years he has been the counsel of the Illinois Humane Society. Always being extremely friendly towards those who have not been as fortunate as himself and especially the Afro-Americans and we honestly hope that on Monday June 7 that every Colored voter throughout Cook County will assist to roll up a majority for this most able and eminent lawyer and sterling citizen compatable with his great legal ability and place him on the Circuit Court bench of Cook County.

M. until 4 P. M.—adv. HON. EDWARD OSGOOD BROWN. Judge Edward Osgood Brown, Democratic candidate for re-election as one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County was first elected to the Circuit Court bench in 1903 and aside for about one year and a half he has faithfully served as one of the Appellate Court Judges, from that time to the present, as an evidence of his popularity the last time he ran in 1910 he defeated his Republican opponent by almost sixty thousand majority, and by being fair and evenly tempered or balanced the leaders of both the leading political parties in this neck of the woods as well as the leading newspapers all agree that he is first class Judicial timber—that he should be retained on the bench and at the election this coming Monday, June 7th, he should receive the votes of all those who are in favor of up-right and honorable men to sit in Judgment on the acts of their fellow-men in this county. Judge Brown is a native of Salem, Mass., and he is a graduate of the Brown University and the Harvard Law School; in company with his old classmate, Orville Peckham, he came to Chicago in 1872, and established the law firm of Peckham and Brown, with law offices in the First National Bank Building and for many years he was the leading counsel for that great and solid banking institution. judiciary are loyal Republicans, Patriotic man sympathy. have judicial temperaments, and appreciates regard for the needs of all the people they stand for an advanced and efficient and victorious Republican party. official ballot under the Republican headi I.

He also represented the West Park Commissioners in the Dryer litigation, whereby the Park Commissioners recovered about $350,000. He also acted in the foreclosure of the Alley "L" and a great variety of other important litigation of similar importance. Judge Brown is a member of the Chicago Historical Society, the Knights of Columbus and the North Chicago Turngemeinde. He was one of the organizers of the Iroquois Club and of the Chicago Literary club, notwithstanding his New England ancestry he is an ardent member of the Roman Catholic Church. For more than 12 years once each week The Broad Ax has found its way to the elegant home of Judge and Mrs. Brown at 1216 North State street and as Judge Brown had amply proven his steadfast friendship for the Colored race during his boyhood days in college, long before he ever thought of coming to Chicago to reside and run for Judge, we therefore feel that it is the solemn duty of the thoughtful and progressive Colored voters residing in this city and county to help to reelect him to his present position on the Circuit bench Monday, June 7th. 1910 HON. KICKHAM SCANLAN One of the tried and true judges of the Circuit Court and member of one of the branches of the Appellate Court, whose clear cut opinions are generally upheld by the Supreme Court of this state and who is one of the Republican candidates who should on Monday June 7th, be elected to his present position by the voters throughout this city and Cook County.

C., and at the University of Notre Dame, Ind. He more than successfully drank in his legal training at the Chicago College of Law, he being a graduate of the first class of that institution. After rounding out his education he entered the employ of W. P. Rend, the well known miner and shipper of coal, and remained in his employ for several years. In the spring of 1886 he entered the great law firm of Luther Ladin Mills and George C. Ingram, and he was connected with those eminent lawyers for a period of more than seven years, participating in many of the notable cases tried by those very able and brilliant attorneys, among which might be mentioned the celebrated Cronin murder case, the booole --- HON.

He was the special prosecutor for the people in the last trial of the Cronin case, which he more than successfully handled. At the judicial election Monday, June 7, 1909, Judge Scanlan was elected one of the circuit court judges of Cook county. Being very popular, he experienced no trouble in leading the ticket. He is now serving as one of the judges of the appellate court, and it must be said to his great credit that his opinions are clear cut, right to the point, and are generally upheld or sustained by the supreme court of the great state of Illinois. Judge Scanlan has always been fair and square in dealing out justice to the Afro-Americans whenever they have had any litigation before him and on Monday, June 7th, we feel sure that they will record their votes in favor of his re-election as one of the circuit court judges of Cook county. --- No.37 PAGE TWO Never in all of its history has the American Red Cross society been face to face with a greater problem than that which it faces as a result of its merciful activities in the various warring European countries. Up to the present the American people have contributed about $1,600,000 to the American Red Cross European fund. Of the amount collected in the nation more than $1,400,000 has been expended, and as the expenses of maintaining the European work, which must now be increased because of U.

Italy's entrance into the struggle, a great deal more money must be forthcoming immediately. The American Red Cross society is maintaining hospitals in every country that is at war. These hospitals have been officially approved by the governments of every country involved in the war, and they would gladly welcome more of them. Only recently two complete United States army field hospitals were shipped for service in the Belgian army. Everywhere only well trained and reliable nurses and experienced physicians have been sent for hospital service abroad. In Servia great work is being done by the American hospital staffs in checking the spread of typhus. GENERAL CARLO CANEVA. He Holds the Highest Rank Among Officers of the Italian Army. With the entrance of Italy into the European war on the side of the allies opportunity will be afforded to some very able military leaders in the Italian army to meet the expectation that they will be able to lead Italian arms to victory and increase their reputation for military genius. Chief among these Italian soldiers are General Carlo GENERAL CARLO CANEVA. Caneva, who has been in command of the Italian forces massed along the Italo-Austrian frontier, and Count Luigi Cadorna, who is a lieutenant general and chief of staff of the Italian army. General Caneva, born in 1845, had no assignment last year, but was designated to command all army if war came. General Caneva is now the only living general 'desereto' in the Italian army; in other words, the only living "general of the army" on its rolls. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS. Miss Rose A. Gray of Newark, N. J., has been employed in one position with the same firm for the last fifty years. Much of the credit of the home relief work done in Philadelphia during the last winter is due to the hard work of Mrs. J. Willis Martin, wife of Judge Martin. Miss U. L. Poinkalszky has charge of the unique school maintained on Ellis island by the United States government to teach immigrant children quartered there. Miss Helen Lozonitch, who has come to this country to co-operate with the Servian agricultural relief committee, is the daughter of the former secretary of agriculture and commerce of Servia. She was decorated by her country for herloism and valor as a war nurse. She reads and speaks English well. Echoes of the War. Switzerland is a little island of peace wholly surrounded by war.—New York Tribune. The outlook for a safe and sane Fourth of July in Europe is pretty gloomy.—New York World. All the belligerents doubtless are tired of war. But that does not indicate that peace is within sight.—Cincinnati Times-Star. How odd it seems that only a few months ago there was more or less serious discussion over a matter so trivial as dumdum bullets.—Cleveland Leader. The warring nations are said to be preparing for another winter campaign. They intend to fight it out on this plan, evidently, if it takes all citizens—Detroit News. PITH AND POINT. Life is a hurdle race over the ifs and buts. A bluff is usually admitted to be one only when it fails. By the way, just what is the international "guarantee?" War by telephone. Now they can hear them killing each other. Don't waste your time worrying about the time you have wasted. It has been demonstrated that in shipbuilding size is far from assuring safety. The fellow who knows it all is generally the easiest person in the world to fool. The more one reads about lifeboats the greater the wonder why they are so called. Some men are so far ahead of the times that the times will never catch up with them. A paragraph suggesting the bluebird as the dove of peace finds the redbird introducing its claims. One advantage in talking with yourself is that you can fully agree with everything that is said. Inhabitants of the Americas have a perfectly good hemisphere with plenty of room on it, and they should stick to it. Hatred in plants kills men, says a scientist. A toadstool, then, must be a mushroom in a highly peeved state of mind. Europe lingered on the verge of war for many years; more by far, it is hoped, than will be necessary to bring about a preparedness for peace. Train and Track. The International and Great North ern railway, Texas, is about to spend $1,000,000 for improvements. In a new type of interurban car the engine runs at a constant rate, the speed of the car being governed by friction drive, which is applied to each of the eight wheels independently. Without stopping his train an engineer can move a lever in his cab and open a newly devised switch to enable him to enter a sliding, the switch automatically closing when the last car has passed over it. The Royal Box The Prince of Wales, it is said, after the war will give his attention to agriculture. The kalser is entitled to wear the uniform of every regiment in the German army. Every year the king of Siam sends a contingent of Siamese scholars to England to be educated at his expense. King Victor Emmanuel of Italy is a great numismatist and possesses a collection of over 20,000 coins, which is said to be the finest in Europe. English Etchings Hyde park, in London, comprises about 360 acrea. There were only 7,000,000 people in Great Britain in 1750. Less than a thousand Victoria crosses have been awarded since they were first fashioned in 1886. The original Greenwich observatory cost £220 to build, and the money was raised by the sale of some spoiled gunpowder. THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO, JUNE 5, 1915. Duke of the Abruzzi, Famous Explorer, at Head of Fleet. The admiral of the Italian navy, Prince Louis of Savoy, duke of the Abruzzi, is a romantic figure and one full of the spirit of adventure. His love affair with the then Katherine Elkins, an American girl, focused the eyes of this country upon him, but he was not dependent upon this love affair for his wide fame. As an explorer in the arctic regions and in Africa and as a mountain climber he has won international renown. He has at present heavy burdens upon his shoulders, for he is admiral of the Italian fleet of five Dreadnoughts P. Photo by American Press Association THE DUKE OF THE ABRUZZI and 150 warships of various classes besides, the nation's pride, upon which it has expended many millions of dollars, obtaining the money by impoverishing itself. Italy looks to the Duke of the Abruzzi to win honors so great that they will retrieve the disaster on the Adriatic coast at Lissa in 1866. Then Austria with inferior numbers and an ill equipped squadron struck her rival a crushing blow, which has left its mark upon Italian naval prestige to the present day. But this task of giving Austria an equally overwhelming defeat upon the sea is only one among several things Abruzzi must do. In his person as a royal prince, first cousin of King Victor Emmanuel III, he must play a role in the war brilliant enough to appeal to the vivid imagination of the Italian people and arouse them to that devotion for the royal family which the king needs to safeguard his throne. Also the duke must get for himself a place commensurate with the dignity and importance of his country among the naval forces of the allies, no easy task, for the allies, it is said, do not want the Italian navy to co-operate in the Dardanelles, since if success comes with Italian ships as a part of the allied fleet it will mean one more to share in the spoils of Turkey. WOMEN'S FRATERNAL SOCIETY Miss Bina M. West Is Both the Founder and the Supreme Commander. Miss Bina M. West is the founder and the supreme commander of the Ladies of the Maccabees of the World, which held its quadrennial convention in New York city during the last week Mary MISS BINA M. WEST. of May. Every state in the Union was represented at this convention, and conferences regarding the field work were also held. The name of the organization was changed to the Women's Benefit Association of the Maccaebes, and it was decided to build new headquarters in Port Huron, Mich. The society was organized by Miss West in 1892 and today is the largest fraternal society for women in the world. The total membership is upward of 200,000. Since its organization the society has paid out over $12,000,000 in death and disability benefits. Napoleon Used Milton's Tactics. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is not the first English author whose writings have been studied for hostile ends by his country's enemies. Napoleon assured Sir Colin Campbell at Elba that he greatly admired "Paradise Lost" and had read it to some purpose. The plan of Austerlitz was borrowed from book 6 of that work, where Satan brings his artillery to bear upon Michael and his angelic host with such direful effect: Training his devilish enginery, impaled On every side with shadowy squadrons deep. To hide the fraud. This mode of warfare appeared to Napoleon so likely to succeed if applied to actual use that he determined upon its adoption and succeeded beyond his expectations. By reference to the details of the battle of Austerlitz it will be found to assimilate so completely with Milton's imaginary fight as to bear out the emperor's assertion.—London Chronicle. Why Men Eat More Food Than Women. That men eat 5 or 6 per cent more than women—not because they are gluttons, but because they actually require that much more nourishment—appears as a result of an investigation made in the nutrition laboratory of the Carnegie institute at Washington by Francis G. Benedict and L. E. Eames, says the Literary Digest. The reason for the discrepancy seems to be that women have a smaller proportion of active tissue than men of the same weight and more inactive material, such as fat. The investigation disclosed that the average woman generates only 1,355 heat units in the twenty-four hours as against 1,638 produced by the man, or about 2 per cent more for the latter per pound of body weight. When groups were compared after careful selection of individuals of nearly the same height and weight the men were found to produce about 12 per cent more heat than women. Marriage Superstitions. In some parts of Germany the duties of the bridesmaids are tinged with superstition. It is one of their duties on the morning of the marriage day to carry to the bride a myrtle wreath, for which they had subscribed on the previous evening. This they place on her head and at night remove it, when it is placed in the bride's hand, she being at the time blindfolded. The bridesmaids then dance round her, while she endeavors to place the wreath on one of their heads. Whoever is fortunate enough to be thus decorated will, it is believed, be a wife before another year has passed. In removing the bridal wreath and vell the bridesmaids are careful to throw away every pln or the bride will be overtaken by misfortune, while any unwary bridesmaid who retains one will lessen her chances of marriage—Dundee Advertiser. The Meteoric Hypothesis The nebular hypothesis of La Place has been abandoned in favor of the meteoric hypothesis of Lockyer and planitesmal hypothesis of Chamberlain. All suns, planets and moons, by these two nearly identical theories, were made by the falling in from space of small cosmic bodies, such as the meteors now falling on the earth. Trillions of years ago there was a meteor moving in space. It is now in the center of the earth. Another meteor joined this by collision, then another, and this falling in is now going on at a vastly diminished rate, so that comparatively few are now coming in, as may be seen on almost any clear night—Edgar Lucen Larkin in New York American. White Man's Graveyard. Africa is a remarkably beautiful country. Its coast lines are picturesque, graceful, fascinating, alluring. Its seaport towns and cities are usually clean, pretty and reasonably healthful. Equatorial Africa has, until the last two decades, been called the white man's graveyard, but clean living, quinine, mosquito netting, sobriety and sanitary improvements have made Africa a place where one can not only exist, but live in as much comfort, take it all in all during the year, as in the city of New York—New York Telegram. Stale Candy. Stale candy can generally be worked over by rebolling. In the case of acid candies, such as lemon drops, the candy is boiled, the acid is withdrawn by the use of lime or chalk, and the sirup may then be used in the manufacture of that or any other species of candy.

MAN OF DESTINY IN ITALY'S TRIAL THE great war in Europe is shifting its searchlights first upon one man, then upon another, and Antonio Salandra, premier of Italy, stands out in the fierce white light. Politics took a peculiar turn in elevating Antonio Salandra to world wide prominence as the war party premier of Italy. A less bellicose man and one more conservative by nature would be difficult to find among contemporary Italian statesmen. Salandra is almost as fair an illustration of the scholar in politics as President Wilson. His interests are primarily those of the student. His past activities have been as much academic as political. He is simple, modest and domestic in his personal tastes. Nevertheless it is this professor of public law in the University of Rome who is today the idol of the Italian populace, to whom the idea of war with Austria is so dear. How Salandra, the professor, came to be the head of the overwhelming majority which kept Italy in a course leading directly to war on the side of the allies is clearly explained in the development of Italian affairs from the time he became first minister, in March, 1014, until he weathered the recent ministerial crisis. It may seem a far cry to the state of affairs when Salandra, the student of economics, the ex-treasury minister and revenue expert, was called upon to head a ministry whose chief task appeared to be the rehabilitation of the treasury, exhausted by the last Italian war. But it has come about quite naturally that the transformation in Italy's problems should find the scholarly premier still the man of the hour and that on May 13, when he resigned his post all Italy, by riots, strikes and --- ITALY'S PREMIER, ANTONIO SALANDRA demonstrations, should successfully clamor for his retention of the premiership. When Salandra resigned and insisted that the king accept his resignation the latter asked Marcora, a Garibaldian veteran and president of the chamber of deputies, to form a new cabinet. Marcora declined the honor on the ground that the popularity of Salandra and his policies were so great that he must be retained in office. Carcano, minister of the treasury, to whom the king offered the premiership, declined on the same ground. In the meantime no doubt existed as to the wishes of the people. At Milan 50,000 people met and protested against the resignation of Salandra, and mobs in Rome made their desires known in no less vigorous manner. The situation demanded that Salandra retain office and he consented. Now, vested with complete powers by the Italian parliament, this scholarly gentleman holds a warlike nation's destiny in his hands. Salandra was born at Trota, in Foglia, on Aug. 31, 1853. Naturally a student, he qualified for the degree of bachelor of laws at the University of Naples when he was twenty-two. He was indefatigable in equipping himself with a knowledge of public law and finance, so that when he entered the chamber of deputies in the sixteenth legislature his abilities were quickly recognized. He sat with the center and took part actively in the parliamentary labors of that legislature. His solid culture, his well balanced intellect and manner and his acuteness were rewarded eventually with an undersecretaryship of state for finance. This was in the ministry of Premier di Rudini in 1891. From 1893 to 1896 he was undersecretary for the treasury, and subsequently he was in the department of agriculture of the Pelloux cabinet. Later he received the treasury portfolio, and here he did notable service in straightening out the revenues at difficult moments. It was no surprise, therefore, when he was asked to form a ministry after Glolitti's retirement, treasury problems at that time being prominent. While Salandra has won fame as a political orator and proved himself formidable and convincing in debate, he continues to think of himself as an academic man in spite of the public's disposition to view him as The Psychology of Psychology Physiology of Practice. The question of short versus long periods of practice in training the human muscles for any particular kind of work is obviously one having far-reaching application. Some interesting experiments on this subject have been carried out by Dr. K. S. Lashley of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisition of skill in archery was selected as the subject of observation. Twenty untrained persons were divided into three groups. One group shot five arrows with the English longbow per day, another twenty shots per day and the third forty shots. The result showed conclusively that the group shooting only five times a day improved in accuracy with less expenditure of time in practice than was required by either of the other groups for the same amount of improvement. A report on the experiments says: "The relatively greater efficiency of short periods of practice continuing for many days is in accordance with the results of the study of animals and of speech habits in man and indicates that in training to muscular feats, in both animals and men, the length of practice periods required is usually too great for maximum efficiency."-Philadelphia Record. The City of Pola Since the Austrians made the city of Pola their chief base in 1848 they have accomplished wonders there. It is claimed that with the assistance of submarines and aircraft Pola is virtually impregnable. Its commodo harbor, almost land locked, has been enlarged so that it easily contains the entire Austrian fleet. It is divided into two basins by a chain of small islands. The entrance is strongly defended, and an extensive system of fortifications on the hills including the harbor insures complete protection. There is a good roadstead in the large channel of Fassna, which separates the mainland from the Brionian islands. The marine arsenal of Pola is a vast establishment with all the requisites for a large fleet. Artillery laboratories and powder magazines are situated on the north shore, and behind the arsenal is San Policarpo, with huge barracks and hospitals. —Argonaut. Byron's Famous Swim. Byron was cruising up the Dana-nelles in a British warship, the Salette, when he accomplished his famous swim from Abydos to Sestos, the distance (a little over four miles) being covered in seventy minutes. "You will smile at this exploit," the poet wrote to R. C. Dallas in a letter describing the swim, "but as it made an ancient immortal I see no reason why a modern may not be permitted to boast of it, particularly as I had no mistress to comfort me at landing." According to Hobhouse, his traveling companion, Byron "had previously made a more perilous but less celebrated passage, for I recollect that when we were in Portugal he swam from Old Lisbon to Belem castle and, having to contend with a tide and countercurrent, the wind blowing freshly, was but little less than two hours in crossing the river."—Pall Mall Gazette. He Wouldn't Give Thanks. An eighteenth century clerical humourist, one Thom of Govan, the Glasgow Herald states, had a great fondness for days of nation, fasting or even of thanksgiving. At the close of the American war he commenced a sermon thus: "My friends, we are commanded by royal authority to meet this day for the purpose of public thanksgiving. Now, I should like to know what it is we are to give thanks for. Is it for the loss of thirteen provinces? Is it for the slaughter of so many thousands of our countrymen? Is it for so many millions of increased national debt? I see, my friends, you are all laughing at me, and I am not surprised at it, for were I not standing where I am I would be laughing myself." Politeness In China In China parents are held responsible for the manners of their children. Accordingly, for the credit of their parents, people try to be polite. If you are mobbed in a Chinese town you should look straight at one or two of the people and say: "Your parents did not pay much attention to your manners. They did not teach you the rules of propriety." A remark like this will make the crowd slink away, one by one, ashamed of themselves. Novel Proposal.

Care of the Baby In Summer Breast Feeding. (Prepared by the children's bureau, Unit- ed States department of labor] ‘The summer months are critical ones for the baby, for on account of the heat he is more easily upset. The mother in the country needs especially to use every means in ber power to ‘keep the baby well during this trying time, as it is often very difficult for her to get the advice of a physician. ‘There are few women who cannot nurse their babies if they are properly taken care of before the baby is born ‘and at the time of birth. Most moth- rs improve in health while nursing the baby if they are well fed and do not have to work too hard, and then the mother knows that then she is giv- ing her baby pure milk, fresh milk, milk of the same temperature from start to nish of the feeding and, most important, a milk made especially for and especially adapted to the need of that particular baby. Put the baby to the breast stx hours after he is born if the mother is sufll- clently rested by that time and let her nurse him every six hours until the ‘true milk “comes”—nsually on the third day. Thereafter nurse the baby every three hours by the clock and no of- tener. 2 If a breast fed baby gets summer Gtarrhea it is generally because he has been overfed. and people are beginning to find out that babies thrive better if they are fed only once in three or four ours so that the stomach may have a chance to rest between meals, Be- tween feedings give the baby a little ‘water to drink, having first bolled and cooled it. At four months the night feeding should be omitted, and at six months the mother should begin to lengthen the time of feeding a quarter of an hour each week until the baby is fed only once in four hours, with no night feeding. On the three hour plan the baby may be nursed at 6 and 9 & m, at 12 noon and at 3, 6 and 9 Pm, with one feeding during the night. On the four hour plan the nurs- ing will come at 6 and 10 a. m and 2,6 and 10 p. m_ The baby needs no other food then breast milk and wa- ’ bay Sy : LAY? rhe * SV aa E> ote BY, . ter until eight or nine months old. In some cases the mother may not have enough milk to feed the baby exclu- stvely at the breast; it is then neces- sary to give one or more bottle feed- ings « day in addition. Later articles will give directions for this kind of foeding as well as for weaning and ar- tificial feedng. ‘The nursing mother should have plenty of simple, nutritious food. She Should eat what she likes, provided hher food causes her no indigestion, for if the mother fs well the baby will usually be well. But if the mother has headaches or gas in stomach or bowels or has @ coated tongue these symptoms show that she is not properly digesting her food, and she should try to find ‘out what is causing the trouble. Fat, greasy and fried foods, such as dough- nuts, pancakes, fried potatoes, baked Deans, pies, heavy puddings and dump- lings and insufficiently cooked cereals, are among the foods that may cause Indigestion. Fresh, well cooked vege- tables, good soups, bread and butter. milk, eggs, meat, fish, poultry and fruits should form the principal part of the diet of « nursing mother. She should take plenty of time to eat her ‘meals and should chew her food well. ‘All good food is milk making food. It fs better to do without tea and coffee, unless the mother has always been ac- ‘customed to their use. If so she should eat down the amount to one cup of each drink per day. Cocoa may be ‘used in moderation, but milk, both sweet and buttermilk, and plenty of cold, pure water are the best drinks for the nursing mother. ‘The nursing mother should have plenty of sleep at night and should Jearn to relax aod rest whenever the baby nurses. As far as possible she abould be relieved of the heaviest part of the household work. ‘The nursing mother, should not suf- fer from constipation. Ripe, raw fruits and stewed rhubarb and prunes are laxative, as are also well cooked ost- meal and other cereals. = ‘The breast apd nipples should washed with warm water and good castile soap every night, rinsing and drying them carefully. After each nursing wash the nipples and dry them. ‘This will keep them from get- ting sore. A few weeks before the baby % born the nipples should be washed to this way every night end groans wenitens AS A el ‘muslin or linen. may e a seeseaans ?

UTILIZING THE USELESS. How to Make Attractive Articles Out aft Gini th If you have an empty half pound candy box you can make excellent use of the cover and the box for pin trays. Line both of them inside and out and finish the outer rim with braid. The cover should then be divided off into compartments. To do this cut two lit- Ue slips of cardboard just as long as the box cover is wide and just the same height, probably about two inch- es. Cover these two slips with chintz and place them across the width, not the length, of the box lid far enough apart to make three separate compart- ments. This is to be used for different sized hairpins, while the other larger one is for combs, hair nets and all the usual things that collect on a bureau. Attractive Jars for smelling salts can be made from small, square preserving Jars covered with chintz up to the very edge, which ts surrounded by braid. Beneath the giass cover to the Jar paste a piece to fit, and you will find it a very dainty jar. Similar boxes or jars can be made for almost any purpose. Orient Gives New Boudoir Coler. ‘There is a beautiful new shade for boudoir gowns that is a relief after the usual baby blue and rose pinks to which one has been accustomed for dainty boudoir wear. It is called, 80 “they” will tell you, Chinese pink, but if one were searching for a “made im America” term, it might be styled “afterglow,” with the eastern sky at sunset for inspiration. A beautiful set of long negligee, short matinee and taf- feta petticoat are to be seen in the new- ly named shade. Cream lace veils much of the lingerie garment, coat fashion, and picoted points appear on the petticoat ruffles. A new shade for the boudoir is welcome, especially one wonderfully warm and so becoming to most women. ‘The Umbrella Dress. Over a box plaited plaid silk skirt, a full skirt of biack pussy willow taf- feta is turned back and gathered to the waist in the back, forming # puff. The front of the skirt hangs loose, forming a pocket effect, the line over the hip being especially well planned. ‘The black taffeta bodice of this fasct- nating costume fastens to one side with a series of small bows of the plaid silk. ‘The bodice is narrowly piped with the plaid silk. acorn abwoniwes De you feel out of place during an ‘antmated conversation in which every one is taking part but yourself?

What to Do With the Gifts Which Lie Idle In Your Mouchoir Box. ‘There are some girls who have stacks and stacks of handkerchiefs which will never in the world be used for their original purpose. For such giris a few suggestions concerning the various uses to which the handkerchiefs might be put will prove valuable. In the first place, a handkerchief bu- reau scarf is a thing of beauty, pro- vided fine materials are used for the ‘making. Three or four handkerchiefs will be required, according to the length of the bureau or dressing table; ft {s to be understood that the scarf ‘will do for table as well as for the bureau. Each handkerchief is joined to the others by means of a strip of lace, embroidery or ribbon, and the ‘whole scarf is bound by a scant ruffle cf whatever material is used for the Joining. One girl who had an overabundance of “hankies” used them for favors at a luncheon she gave to five girls. She outlined a fairly good sized circle in the middle of a handkerchief, sewed a Plece of tape on the outer side of the handkerchief to make a casing for baby ribbon. Upon pulling the ribbon &@ neat Ittle pouch was formed, and into the pouch a delicate brand of face powder was poured. Six handker- chiefs, all treated in lke manner and each decorated with a different colored ribbon were used to hold the place cards. Needless to say, the guests ap- preciated such useful and pretty favors. Have you ever made a baby cap from a handkerchief? If not, you will find the task very simple. Turn beck one corner of the handkerchief to form a flap. Several inches up from the diag- onal point gather the material and stitch over the gathering threads—on the wrong side of the handkerchief, of course—a piece of tape to form a casing. Through the casing run white or delicate blue or pink ribbon, which fs tied beneath the diminutive chin and which holds the cap in place. A hand- kerchief twelve inches square or larger will be needed to make the cap. Another useful article that can be made from a handkerchief is a bib. Cut one point of the handkerchief off in a etreular line which will fit the baby’s peck. Bind the rough edge with rib- bon and allow plenty of ends to be tied in a bow-at the back of the neck. Hew to Set the Table. Many an inexperienced hostess & troubied about the matter of setting the table. One simple rule is to have all the knives, forks and spoons that each guest will need at the guest's place. The forks should be to the left, the kntves to the right. If there is Doufllon or soup the spoon for this should be at the right. If the meal begins with grapefruit or other fruit the spoon for this may be either on the plate or at the right of the plate. If the dessert is to be ice cream a fork and spoon should be at the top of the place, forming a sort of reof effect connecting the forks to the left and the knives to the right The nap- Kins should be folded simply and iaid either on the plate or to the right of tt over the knives. The glasses for water and other beverages sbould be Placed st the right above the knives. If a bread and batter plate is used it ‘should balance the glasses on the left. ‘The forks should be placed in the or- Ger im which they will be used, with the first néeded on the extreme left A Thought For « Day. for thou wilt come to if it shall De necessary, having with thes the ‘present things.—Marcus Aurelius. = A 4 S 2 Oc 2 a, 7 Coe se ad g a : Photo by American Press Association.

Strange as it may seem, the young prince is partly of English de- Scent. Duke Charles is the son of the Duke of Albany, whose mother was Queen Victoria of England. He was born in England and educated at Eton, though now he is in arms against his father’s people. So Prince Johann is @ great-grandson of the late Queen Victoria. The little prince 1s nine years of age‘and has often visited England, where be has many relatives of royal biood. Blowing Bubbles. Children usually prefer to blow the Dabbles into the open air and watch ‘them sail into space. However, many interesting tricks can be done with ‘soap bubbles. If blown on to a plece of felt or woolen cloth spread on a table the bubbles will bounce lightly and will not break at once. With a Uttle practice bubbles can be hitched to each other. the first one being at- tached to a piece of worsted suspended in the air, and a pretty little chain of bubbles fs the result. A bubble can be made to “walk” a tight rope. Hold a plece of worsted yarn in a slanting position, blow the bubble on to the upper end. and it will dance and Bounce down the string to the lower end, thence making a flying leap to the floor. There are many other tricks that may be done with soap bubbles, some comparatively simple, while oth- ers require a great deal of practice first. Try some of the simple tricks suggested above and when proficiency is attained in executing them you will be ready to try more elaborate ones. ‘Trunk Doll House. ‘Take the lid from an old trank, or ask your father to do it for you. ‘Then cover the trunk on the outside with thick dark colored wall paper.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, JUNE 5, 1915 America's Duty: the Leadership of the Union of Occidental Races. Speech Delivered Friday Evening, May 28, 1915, by Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge Before the Twilight Club of New York MACAULAY ONCE wrote that democracy in America might fail because more and more our population would become diversified in origin; and that more and more there would come to be separate solidarities of racial groups instead of a national solidarity. He argued that successful government by public opinion requires that this public opinion must be divided on rational lines, determined only by opposing reasons directed to the merits of any question; and that racial prejudices surely would interfere with such normal public thinking. It is no reflection on any, group of our people that their political action should be influenced by the racial blood that flows in their veins; it is human nature that it should be so. Yet that this does add to the difficulties and problems of democracy is plain. The bright light thrown upon us by the flames of the world war makes this startlingly clear at the present time. It is present-day conditions which make Macaulay's analysis prophetic and point to the mighty task before us—a task which is primal and which will take decades to perform. That task is the hard but sublime labor of making a national solidarity, an American entity, independent of and different from that of any other nation or country; not in the sense that it is our duty or even interest to hold aloof from other peoples from which we sprang—on the contrary, as I shall try to show presently, our relations with them must be more and more intimate; but that we must build up a national unity and consciousness as separate and different from that of any other country as the Russian is different from the German or the French is different from both. The first short but immediate step to this is to trample under our feet the thought that any of our citizens of one racial descent are less American and less patriotic than those of another racial descent. Why should anyone say that our citizens of German descent are less American because they love the Germany from which they sprang than are those of us who are of English or Scotch descent who love the land from which our ancestors came! The tolerance of patriotic brotherhood is the watchword of our salvation. Let not the rancor of distinction of Jew and Gentile, Protestant and Catholic, German, British or Irish, Italian, French or Russian vex and confound our forming nation. Let each in his sympathy be true to his faith, and his blood—we could not prevent that if we would—but let us nobly realize that just because each of these racial and religious units of our people have the courage and conscience to be faithful to the fundamentals within them, they also have the capacity to be still more true to that great democracy, the American people, which fate is welding together. It will take a long time to do this. But above all other periods in our history, now is the hour to begin it. We must teach it in our schools, preach it from our pulpits, talk it in our daily life. In every schoolroom over the teacher's desk, in plain letters, over every pulpit, on the walls of every board of trade, I would have these words printed: 'We are all Americans'—Americans tolerant of one another and Americans because we are tolerant of one another. What now is coming. What, if we do not blindly attach ourselves to some European combination of powers, is our historic task and glory? All who are not blinded by blood-lust cannot fail to see it. Let the big fact of contemporaneous world events instruct us: For a long time it has been the habit of occidental peoples to say that the oriental people were sleeping. But it is not more accurate to say that they have been resting. Today the yellow races are being marshaled under able generalship. All of us know that these despised Asiatics were civilized when our not remote ancestors were uncultured, if not savage. Olive Schreiner truly said that the eternal analogy holds and that everything is like everything else. A man become exhausted and must rest and then does good work again; a field is drained of its fertility and then must rest, to bloom forth in new luxuriance. A race achieves great things and then declines but only to rise once more. Italy is an example. May not Asia, the cradle of human learning and achievement, also revive! Add now to this fact that, bad as it seems to be to human wisdom, conflict appears to be the law of nature. China was masterful when she was militant; and that the warlike blood runs hot in Chinese veins has long been plain to the observer of that wonderful people who studied them on the ground. --- Thirty years ago that White man would have been scoffed and scorned who predicted an armed, warlike and triumphant Japan; yet by the sword Japan has won the mastery of the East. Only yesterday the overthrow of the Chinese dynasty was accomplished by such fierce fighting as the present war has not yet equaled. And now the event which all who have given study to oriental conditions have known a long time ago would come to pass—China is being reorganized and again made militant by a capable power that has learned and improved upon all that the western world has had to teach. Does anyone doubt, therefore, that if the white races were to disarm oriental domination would not follow? Let anyone who does doubt this read history. Thus it is that a duty so high, so deep, so all-embracing that we are not yet conscious of it, nevertheless is upon us. That elemental duty is the union of all occidental races, each distinct in its culture and yet united for common defense under a common direction. Just this is bound to come. In Germany, in France, in Holland, in every country I have visited I have found scholars and philosophers thinking along this common line. --- But how to do it! How to harmonize the discords among occidental peoples which will be deemed transient and irrational to the eye of history, however, they may seem to be consequential to the eye of the hour? What nation is akin to all other occidental nations! In the veins of what one people flows English, German, Irish, Italian, French, Hungarian, Slav, and every other western blood? If such a nation there be, and if it can so overcome blood passion as to realize occidental racial unity, that nation holds in its hands the scepter of the future and the fate of western civilization. Where then is such a nation! Is it not the United States? So it is that the very circumstance which troubles our democratic experiment will, if successfully dealt with, make the American republic the blood bond of union among the peoples now at war—a union which shall form a rampart against the oriental myriads gathering behind the coming years. The slogan of world peace, the guarantee of the preservation of the civilization of Shakespeare and Goethe, of Moliere and Dante, is this: "Get together men of the occident—if we remain separate we may be in danger—if we combine we are secure."2 Prof. Alonzo J.

SMALL POX (Variola) Small-pox also called Variola is an acute infectious disease characterized by a skin eruption which passes thru five stages of macule, papule, vesicle, pustule, and seab. This disease has been known from the earliest antiquity; it is said to have existed in China many centuries before the birth of Christ. The first accurate account of it is said to have been chronicled by Rhazes, an Arabian physician who lived in the ninth century. The pesta magna (great pest) described by Galen, a great medical writer, is believed to have been small-pox (variola). It was brought to America by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century. In the seventeenth century, Sydenham differentiated it from one of the diseases which it often resembles, the well known malady measles. The most important event in the history of the pest is the discovery of vaccination by Jenner in the year 1796. Jenner whose fame rests upon the discovery of vaccination and who is called the discoverer did not in reality discover it; it had been known or rather believed by farmer people for centuries before Jenner announced his "discovery." Jenner did not vaccinate until 1796 while Jesty, a farmer, vaccinated successfully his wife and two sons in 1774, thus antedating the great "discover" by twenty-two years. Variola or small-pox is one of the most dangerous of contagious diseases and resembles in the early stages measles, chicken-pox (varicella) and diphtheria. The resemblance is often so striking that the most acute medical minds have been mistaken in the diagnosis as has been proven by post mortem examination. Few persons are naturally protected (immune); vaccination alone affords immunity as far as medical science has demonstrated and that immunity is variable. Revaccination every three years is recommended if persons expect to stay immune. Persons who have not been vaccinated, if exposed to the pest, are almost always attacked. Even those who have been vaccinated within three years are susceptible and should be revaccinated annually, if exposed by reason of contact with a case. Vaccination being a simple process and practically painless and harmless but conferring a priceless protection should be secured early and often. One attack of the disease may be followed by another or even by many attacks. It is however consid- HON. CARL R. CHINDBLOM Hon. Carl R. Chindblom Republican candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County is a native Chicagoan, for he was born on the north side on Dec. 21, 1870. His parents were among the early Swedish settlers and are still living in Lake View. Mr. Chindblom got his early education in the public schools and later attended Augustana College at Rock Island, III., where he graduated in the spring of 1890. In the presidential campaign of 1896 he made a special study of the money question and spent several months addressing Republican meetings. He graduated from Kent College of Law and was admitted to the Bar early in 1900. For a few years he was associated with Charles H. Hamill, and DA. PECK HON. CARL R. CHINDELOM. Ex-County commissioner and Republican candidate for Judge of the Circuit court of this city and county, vote for him on Monday June 7. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. ered that one attack of the disease renders the person immune. Males and females are equally affected. Variola or small-pox, as it is commonly called is especially fatal in young children but the disease is common to all ages. The disease is found here and there in different localities at various times but becomes epidemic when the conditions are ripe for its rapid development. At various times it has been known to spread like wild-fire decimating the populace. Some epidemies are so mild that it is mistaken for hives; "Cuban itch" and the like. Such mistakes are found out only when a susceptible individual develops a severe form of the malady. A small parasite, called the cytorytes varioloe, found in the skin of the victims is considered the cause of the disease. It has been spread by persons who have been in contact with afflicted small-pox patients and by articles which came in contact with the same. There are three forms of the disease, namely: variola vera, (true small-pox) variola haemorrhagica (pustular or black small-pox) and the small-pox modification by vaccination, called varioloid. The disease requires from eight to sixteen days to develop. During that time patients do not as a rule complain of any symptoms. Later the patient has the most severe initial symptoms, if an adult, chills and if a child convulsions in the first twenty-four hours after the developmental period. Intense frontal headache, severe pains in the back and vomiting are the most constant symptoms. They are severe in this than in any other eruptive fever. The temperature rises rapidly and often reaches 103 or 104 degrees. The patient becomes restless, often delirious if the fever is high. Often on the second day the skin rash appears ("breaks out") it may be delayed until the fourth day. When the rash comes out the temperature usually falls, the symptoms subside and the patient feels better. The eyelids often become swollen and closed and the patient presents a dreadful sight. On the eleventh day of the disease convalescence appears. Some cases terminate in about fifteen days; but four weeks reach the end of most. The complications are often bronchus pneumonia (in fatal cases), laryngitis, heart muscle involvement, albuminuria, nephritis but the most interesting and serious are those of the nervous system and eyes. thereafter practiced alone until 1910, when he formed his present partnership with Oscar W.

CULD JOHN W. BECKWITH. Ex-Corporation Counsel of Chicago and Democratic candidate for Judge of the Superior court short term; highly endorsed by the Chicago Bar Association Primary and by the Chicago Lawyers Primary. Hon. John W. Beckwith, Democratic candidate for Judge of the Superior Court short term, who received a large majority of the votes at the Chicago Lawyers' Association primary and at the Chicago Bar Association primary was born in this city for he is the honored son of Carydon Beckwith, Judge of the Illinois Supreme Court, he received his education at its public schools, Yale university, at the Chicago College of Law, he has successfully practiced law in this city for the past twenty years. In 1903 he was appointed assistant corporation counsel serving under Mayor Edward F. Dunne, and in 1911 he was appointed to the same office by Mayor Carter H. Harrison and later on he was selected First Assistant Cor- HEALTH NOTES. It is important that people who live in large cities and under the conditions of modern city life, should be kindly, considerate and neighborly. This simply means that we should try to be as considerate of our neighbors' comfort as we would that they be considerate of ours. Many of the complaints that reach the Department are due entirely to the fact that people are no considerate of their neighbors' comfort and safety. Here in substance is a complaint that came to the Department just the other day. It is a fair sample of complaints of this kind; though in this particular instance the complainant had suffered long without protest. The writer of the letter is a woman who complains that her neighbor, who evidently lives just across the court or narrow areaway, throws all kinds of dirty water into the areaway. Sometimes kitchen refuse is mixed with it, which falls on the complainant's window sills, splashes up her window and in warm weather when her windows are open, some of it runs on her dining room floor. The complainant says that she has endured this in silence during the winter months, but now that the warm weather is coming when she would like to have her windows open, she feels she cannot stand this sort of unjust and unneighborly treatment any longer. It is easy to see that a complaint of this kind need never be made, except where people are either so selfish, thoughtless or ignorant that they have neither knowledge nor the desire to treat their neighbors as they would like to be treated themselves. As a rule people do not like to complain of their neighbors. In most cases people will suffer in silence rather than send in complaints to the authorities. And this is why thoughtless, careless people keep on doing the things that cause their neighbors so much annoyance and discomfort. There is no doubt, however, but the great big factor in securing community comfort and safety is the intelligent co-operation of the people in being thoughtful and considerate of their neighbors' comfort and safety. By doing this we can reasonably hope that the treatment they accord to others will be extended to them. A pure water supply is an important factor in conserving a city's health. For example, six years ago Columbus, Ohio, installed a modern filtration plant. Prior to that time they used a more or less polluted well supply and an unfiltered river water. For six years prior to the installation of the filter plant, their typhoid fever death rate averaged 63 per 100,000. For the six years since installing this plant this typhoid rate has dropped to an average of less than 17 per 100,000, or about one-fourth of the former rate. Practically all this improvement is credited to the use of pure filtered water. Screens all inf. Good. No, you say, Bad. The summer days are close at hand, so swat the fly to beat the band. The baby that is born has the right to live. It has the right to have clean, pure milk, plenty of fresh air and to be kept clean every day. In other words, these are its natural rights and to deprive the little ones of these rights is a crime against a common humanity. As you go through life try to look at the sunny side.

Judge Stelk who is a high grade gentleman at all times and an able lawyer started in in 1888 as an office boy with Gross and King, lawyers and remained with them until 1899, and from that time up until he was elected one of the municipal Judges he was engaged in the active practice of the law on his own hook with law offices in the Reaper Block, corner of Clark and Washington streets. For years he was the personal attorney for former sheriff Michael Zimmer and for Anton J. Cermak, Chief Bailliff of the Municipal Court, all the leading daily newspapers in this city highly commended him to the voters at the last election and at the present time they are speaking of him in the highest terms for Judge of the Cireuit Court. He is an honored member of the Chicago Bar Association, Lawyers Association of Chicago, Chicago Law Institute, Illinois Bar Association, American Bar Association, and many other societies and substantial organizations. Judge Stelk is happily married and resides with his family at 2711 West 23rd street, in the 12th Ward, and his great army of friends both White and Colored should cheerfully assist to put him over at the Judicial election Monday, June 7. JUDGE TIMOTHY D. HUBLEY NON- PARTISAN CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT Judge Timothy D. Hurley, who is a Non-Partisan candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County. We know him, you know him, the children know him. His life has been devoted to the welfare of children as much as any other man in this section of Illinois. The benefits of the Juvenile Court can not be innumerated. Many way-ward boys and girls have he lead to the realm of citizenship through this agency of the law, children have been taken from unworthy guardians and numerous other benefits which could not have been made use of through other departments of the government, have been realized through the Juvenile Court of which Mr. Hurley is the author. Any man who has proven himself so valuable an asset to the welfare of a people ought to be given an opportunity to continue in the service of the people. No great appeal should be necessary for his election; his record is the greatest possible argument. Mrs. E.

Judge John Gibbons Republican candidate for re-election to the Circuit Court bench who has always been a true friend of the common people who always receive Justice at his hands who will be numbered among the lucky winners at the forthcoming Judicial election, Monday June 7, was born at Ruhan, Fanad, County Donegal, Ireland, March 28th, 1848. He worked on a farm days and attended the "hedge" school nights until 16 years of age. Then he attended the private academy of Samuel McQuilkin, Londonderry, until he came to the United States in 1866, when he attended Broad Street (Philadelphia) Military Academy for Boys. Afterwards he attended the University of Notre Dame, from which institution he received the degree of A.M., and subsequently the honorary degree of LLD. He studied law in Philadelphia and was admitted to the Bar at Keokuk, Iowa, Feb. 7th, 1870. He came to this great city to reside in 1880 and was engaged in the active practice of law until 1893. He was united in marriage to Mrs. Richard B. Fuller, April 20, 1892. In 1893 he was endorsed by the Bar Association to fill a vacancy on the Circuit Court Bench, and was nominated by the Republicans and elected. He was renominated and re-elected in 1897, in 1903 and in 1909. His record on the bench for more than twenty-one years is well known to the people. In the whiskey trust, tobacco trust, sand trust and linseed oil trust cases and the lake front cases, tried before him he held the trusts to be illegal and held that the lake front belonged to the people. He was sustained by the Supreme Court in every instance. In the recent gas trust case he reduced the price of gas before they took the case from him on change of venue. He has been a member of the Hamilton Club for about twenty-five years. PRESIDENT WILSON DID NOT ENDORSE THE "BIRTH OF A NATION" PHOTO PLAY. The reports circulated in Boston and other places that President Wilson gave his endorsement to the film play, "The Birth of a Nation," are without foundation, as was disclosed during a visit to the white house this week by Bishop Alexander Walters and former Assistant Attorney-General William H. Lewis. Mr. Lewis was detailed by a committee of Boston Colored citizens to inquire into the matter and Bishop Walters accompanied him to the white house. It will be remembered that this moving picture alleged to show up the Negro in a vicious light has been objected to by our people in every city where an attempt has been made to exhibit it, and in Boston the indignation of the race reached a climax. Secretary Tumulty received the distinguished visitors with great courtesy and denied that the President has given any endorsement to the obnoxious film. The secretary showed the bishop and Mr. Lewis a letter to Representative Thatcher, of Massachusetts, saying that while the picture was once shown at the white house as a compliment to a former class-mate of the President's, the President was unaware of its character and has at no time expressed any approbation of it. This information will be repeated officially to the Colored people of Boston, who sent Mr. Lewis to Washington to find out the facts in the case. The owners of the film will be requested to omit any further use of the President's name in connection with the advertisement of the picture. PREPAREDNESS OF OUR CITIZEN SOLDIERY. Since the question of preparedness, is raised as to the readiness and military training of our citizen soldiers: We believe it not to be out of place, but is in keeping with the good breeding of gentlemen, to discuss one phase of the situation, which we never publicly discuss. And that is the unpreparedness of our Colored citizen soldiery, in this country, most especially in the southland, where he is not permitted to even look at a rifle, join a military organization, or even think of becoming a soldier; yet in the face of this very truth, if the worse came and the crisis, arose; he would be expected, just as sure as you are a foot high, to answer the call of his country, just the same as his White brothers, in the south who have had every opportunity given them for this preparedness. Some of our Americans who have been thinking honestly, soberly, and seriously about our military strength and preparedness, do not now and never have in the past, considered the Negro soldier, as an American factor, in our military progressiveness, and will not consider him until the very last moment in the crisis; when he becomes a necessity. Then and not until then is he recognized as a man and a citizen. Then it is when he is called upon to volunteer and offer up all that he hath, upon the Altar for the preservation of his country and the 101 A demand has been made by the citizens of Cook county for John D. Farrell, of the law firm of Farrell & Thompson, for judge of the circuit court. No lawyer in Chicago is better or more favorably known among the working people than John D. Farrell. Before becoming a lawyer he was employed in the machine shop and coming from the working class as he does, his experience gives him an advantage of knowing their joys and sorrows, their likes and dislikes. Mr. Farrell was one of the original Thompson men and in the mayoralty campaign did much to arouse interest and secure the support of union labor for the new mayor. undoubtedly lead the ticket. He has been endorsed by a large number of organizations for judge who have voluntarily offered to canvass the entire county in his behalf. Mr. Farrell is one of the people, and coming from the people, he will be a good, honest, fair and upright judge. No better man can be found for judge than John D. Farrell. You won't be afraid to trust your case in his hands. His broad training and great legal ability make him an ideal candidate and should have the honest support of all classes. He is big in body, big in mind, and big in heart, and by your vote for the "non-partisan" judges you will do your duty as a citizen and a man. Mr. Farrell is well known and will honor of his national flag. And this is just what he or any American citizen ought to do, no more could be expected of him and no less. For he is an American citizen. This is his country, which has given birth, to ten millions of his people. He has invested over $700,000,000 dollars in property. The children of his bosom, have been educated in her schools. Surely it will be protected by him, to the latest breath, and to the extent of loosing the last drop of blood in his mortal being. And why? Because, he knows that these are his people, this is his country; and where they dieth, there will he be buried also, he has always felt the realization of this motto: "Greater Love hath, no man than this; Than for a man to lay down his life for the brethren," and this "Love your enemies." "Do good unto those who despitefully, use you and abuse you." Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven." But some has said that it is a military crime to have men trust upon a scene of conflict, without being trained. As the Colored brother is now in the southland, because some citizens in that section of the country think otherwise. How long will the American people, allow their color prejudices, to blind their sense of Christian honesty. And allow the Negro of the South, to get the same military training in the south land, as he has in the north land. So that he can truthfully protect all citizens of this nation be they Black or White.—W. HYDE PARK NEWS BY L. W. WASHINGTON. The Hon. A. L.

Lots of men are satisfied to follow the crowd, no matter which way it is going. A man without ambition is like a pan of dough without any yeast to raise it. Excesses in youth are drafts upon old age, payable about thirty years after date. If it is true that the world owes every man a living it will never get out of debt. Some men are never satisfied to taste the cup of joyfulness. They must splash it all over themselves. A boom in the cork leg industry directs attention to the high cost of prosperity along certain lines. We can't remember a year that has gone before when it was so easy to give up a trip to Europe as this year. All the statistics showing how the average human life on earth has been lengthened by science are also among the things ruined by this war. Pert Personals.

Mrs. Havelock Ellis, wife of the noted English scientist, is herself a lecturer and author of recognized ability. Ruth Kedzie Wood, author of many travel books on Russia, Spain and Portugal, has been elected a fellow of the American Geographical society. The honor is an unusual one for the institution to bestow. Constance D'Arcy Mackay entered Boston university in 1903 and the following year began journalistic work in New York. She is a contributor of plays, verse, articles and short stories to magazines and newspapers. But it is in the writing and producing of pageants that she finds her widest field. Laundry Lines. Wash and dry fannels as quickly as possible if you want them to be soft. Tatting will look like new if when being laundered it is basted to a bath towel. Otherwise it is nearly always ruined. Cornstarch is the best for starching cuffs and collars—wheat starch for delicate dresses, rice starch for fine French lingerie.

CHICAGO. JUNE 5. 1915. Submarine Badge. As a crown is the badge of kings, as three balls are the badge of pawnbrokers, so the badge of a submarine officer is a handful of cotton waste. When the half dozen officers of a modern submarine, clad in their black leather waterproof suits, come aboard a sailor stands on the tiny gangway to receive them, and to each he hands his waste rolled in a neat ball. The reason is that the steel doors and steel walls of a submarine sweat oil eternally. The steel seats sweat oil. The submarine officer before opening a door or before sitting down wipes the oil from the knob or from the seat with an unconscious gesture like that of pulling up the trousers to keep them from bagging. Jovial submarine lieutenants say that even the dishes sweat oil on a submarine trip. They say that before filling their plates with meat they mechanically wipe the oil from them with their balls of oily waste.—Cinchnaiti Enquailer. A. Sharp Distinction A merited retort is not always a retort courteous. The rebuke that was administered to a party of intruding tourists by the old watchman who was set to guard the ruins of College hall at Wellesley not long after the great fire conveyed a keen but subtle reproach. "Ye've got to keep out!" he ordered gruffly when he caught them trying to slip under the ropes that surrounded the crumbling walls. The inquisitive visitors paused and eyed first the ruins and then their determined guardian. "See here," a callow youth accosted him; "we're willing to risk it, and we'll take all the responsibility. What do you care if we lose our lives?" "Ye've got to keep out. I ain't thinkin' of your lives; I'm thinkin' of me job." - Youth's Companion. Nothing to Wear There are women who live to dress, and the more frequent and radical the changes are the better they like it. If their pocketbooks can stand it, no great harm is done. But the great majority of women can't afford to keep up with this pace. The result is that some stay at home because their clothes are not in the latest style, many are made unhappy, and others keep up with the procession, it matters not what may be the cost. If a man can wear the same dress suit for eight or ten years and not look like a freak, why is it not possible to design an evening gown for women that will be in good style as long as it may be worn? It is absurd to hear a woman say, "I haven't a thing to wear," when she may have a half dozen gowns all in good condition.—Frances Frear in Leslie's. Highland Mary. Small as is the number of statues of women in Britain, there are two of one woman, concerning whom very little is actually known save that she was of humble origin and was associated with the life of Scotland's greatest poet. Passengers by the Clyde steamboats are familiar with the statue of Mary Campbell, whom Burns immortalized as Highland Mary, which overlooks the pier at Dunoon. There was a good deal of controversy about the memorial at the time of its erection, and the late Mr. Henley referred to it in his famous "Essay on Burns" as a "fantasy in bronze." Liverpool, with which Mary Campbell had no association whatsoever, has also chosen to commemorate her, and a marble statue stands in the palm house at Sefon park, encircled with choicest blooms all the year round—London Mall. Lost Votes. A parliamentary candidate lost quite a number of votes by making a generous promise to his own wife. He promised his better half that if he were successful at the poll he would buy her a new sealskin coat and hat to match. His wife was so pleased with this kindly offer that she at once went and told all her lady friends about it. Every lady to whom this piece of news was imparted, of course, said to the candidate's wife at once, "Oh, how very nice, dear!" but equally, of course, immediately went off home to her husband and said: "Take care you don't vote for Mr. A., dear. Fancy that stuck up Mrs. A. in a new sealskin while my old one is so shabby!"—London Express. Kipling Wouldn't Talk Invited in 1899 to speak at a public dinner in London in aid of an orphan saylum Rudyard Kipling wrote: "I simply can't make a speech in public. It isn't in my power—not for all the orphans in the world. I have experimented on grownup people, and the result wasn't pretty. I'd sooner thrash an orphan or give it its bottle than speak to the orphans' well wishers after a heavy meal." For Permanent Peace "I have told you over and over, Tommy, not to fight with that little Jimson boy." "If you'd let me finish the job just one time, ma, I wouldn't have to fight with him any more."—Birmingham Age-Herr "Why do you insist on singing?" "Because I love music." "The way you shg sounds as if you hated it."—Washington Star. Woman's Superiority. With suitable special scenery a woman invalid may show to advantage, but a sick man always looks like the Old Harry.—Atchison Globe. Philosophy should be in one's conduct, not conversation. It Had a Farreaching Effect. It Had a Perreaching Effect. Two hundred and fifty years ago a peddler selling books gave a pamphlet to one who was supposed to be an ordinary young man, but he was Richard Baxter, and under the influence of that pamphlet he wrote "The Saints' Everlasting Rest." This fell into the hands of Philip Doddridge, and he wrote "The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul." This book fell into the hands of Wilberforce, and he wrote "A Practical View of Christianity." This book came to Leigh Richmond, and under the power of it he was led to write "The Dairman's Daughter." This in turn fell into the hands of Thomas Chalmers, the mightiest Scotch preacher of his day, and after he became a minister it was the means of his conversion and of his mighty spiritual transformation. A peddler on the one side and Thomas Chalmers on the other—what a marvelous story!-Christian Herald. Shad and Cod. Shad are distributed along the entire east coast of the United States and northward and eastward to the gulf of St. Lawrence. Shad abound in nearly every river of the Atlantic coast. Its migrations from the sea are in quite a regular succession of time from relation to latitude. It first appears in the St. Johns river, Florida, about Nov. 15; in Georgia and South Carolina rivers in January, in the Potomac in February. In the Delaware the maximum run is about May 1, in Maine rivers about a month later, etc. Cod are widely distributed in the north Atlantic ocean. To the north they range far beyond the arctic circle and to the south as far as Cape Hatteras, although they are not common south of New Jersey. The cod in the Pacific ocean is found from Bering sea south to Oregon. The largest cod are found along the Massachusetts coast and from that north.-Philadelphia Press. "Let Her Go. Gallagher!" Judge Beaver of Morgan county, Ky., had a trotting mare of which he was very proud. The animal was always driven at the race meets by a man named Gallagher, who was at that time city marshal of Harrodsburg. On one occasion the judge entered his mare at a trotting meeting in Tipton county. Some sports there, knowing of the judge's pride in the animal, thought they would lower his colors for once, so they entered against her a noted fast trotter. At the end of the first mile the two trotters passed under the wire neck and neck at a 2:40 pace, and the judge grew wildly excited. "Let her go, Gallagher! Let her go!" he shouted. And Gallagher, hearing, loosened the lines. The mare pluckily responded and finished more than a dozen lengths ahead amid the wild cheering of the crowd--Pittsburgh Dispatch. Racing In Mongolia Horse racing is taken seriously in Mongolia, where it is carried on under the auspices of the Buddhist priests. The races are rarely less than ten miles long, and the chief event of the Mongolian racing year is a contest over thirty miles of rough steppe. When C.W. Campbell visited Mongolia he attended a race meeting, at which most of the competing horses were owned by lamas. "The great races which take place yearly at Urga," he writes, "are held under the direct patronage of the lama pope of Mongolia, who becomes the owner of all the winners. A horse race with a bishop in the judges' box, a public chiefly clerical, no bookmakers or betting and nominal prizes is a phenomenon in its way." Why He Failed. "I understand Jinks has found it necessary to close up his electrical business. What was the matter?" "Well, as nearly as I can make out, when he failed to spark properly, his banking connections became short circuited, and his customers failed to supply the necessary current. These misfortunes tore the insul tion from his lines of credit and he became afraid he was no longer a live wire. "The poor fellow had to shut up shop. As a matter of fact," said the narrator, dodging a blow. "he didn't know what else to do." -Richmond Times-Dispatch Over the Mark "Does he aim at realism in the stories he writes?" "He may aim at it, but he doesn't hit within a million miles of it." "How's that?" "The hero of his last story is a 'spendthrift Scotchman.'" — Houston Post. West Point Graduates It will doubtless surprise most Americans to learn that out of the small total of 4,121 graduates during the first century of the existence of the Military academy, from 1802 to 1902, 2,731 entered civil life at some period of their career—National Magazine. Salt Money. Your salary is your "salt money." Soldiers once received salt as part of their pay. When the salt was commuted for cash the latter was called "salerium," salt money, or "salary." Too Risky. Officer—Did you get the number of the car? Victim—Yes; but never mind. It was my cook's machine. I don't want any trouble with her—New York Globe. Ruinous Madge—Gossip doesn't pay. Marjorie—I'm beginning to agree with you, my dear. The last secret I heard cost me over $2 for extra telephone tolls—Judge. Aeroplane Raids. There is nothing that I know of more hideous than an aerial bombardment. It requires an entire mental readjustment. The sky, which has always symbolized peace, suddenly spells death. Bombardment by the big guns of an advancing army is not unexpected. There is time for flight, a chance, too, for a reprisal. But against these raiders of the sky there is nothing. One sits and waits, and no town is safe. One moment there is a peaceful village with war twenty, fifty miles away. The next minute hell breaks loose. Houses are destroyed, sleeping children die in their cradles, the streets echo and re-echo with the din of destruction. The reply of the anti-aircraft guns is feeble, and at night furtile. There is no bustle of escape. The streets are empty and dead, and in each house people, family groups, non-combatants, folk who ask only the right to work and love and live, sit and wait with blanched faces.—Mary Roberts Rinehart in Saturday Evening Post. Insure Pigs In Sweden. Though it is commonly known that there is scarcely anything in the world that cannot be insured, the layman would probably hesitate before he hastened to Lloyd's to insure his pigs. In Sweden, however, no difficulties stand in his way. In fact, there are several competing companies all anxious to insure the lives of pigs belonging to the small farmer. But as yet the industry has not developed as much as it might, since out of the 700 Swedish institutions which insure live stock there are only forty which insure pigs. These societies are most numerous in the thickly populated districts, where they insure pigs only. The pigs insured must be at first in good condition, and the agencies refuse to pay if the animals die in consequence of ill treatment or neglect.-Boston Transcript. How to Treat a Fracture Be very careful with a single fracture to prevent it from becoming compound. The proper treatment is to pad and bandage the limb with splints and anything else which can be improvised, so as to hold it steadily in position until your injured man can be carried comfortably to the camp or nearest doctor. Don't get jolting him or handling him with anything but the greatest tenderness. If there are no chances of getting a doctor, cut all the clothing away from the injured limb, and when you have it bare get some one else to help you, if you can. Pull straight on the end of the injured limb farthest away from the body, and as gently and firmly as possible manipulate the broken bone into position. You will know when this is done by the shape of the limb—Outing. Business Advertising In 1748 Judging from many advertisements in the early New York newspapers, the numbers of buildings were very little used. Business houses were usually designated by a characteristic sign or by the locality to other well known residents. An example of the latter is seen in the following from the New York Gazette of December, 1748. Smith's Fly was at the foot of Maiden Lane. "Henry Hansen, who lately kept his store next Door to Mr. John Groesbeeck's, is now removed to Capt. Richard Langdon's, in Smith's Fly opposite to Col. De Peyster's, Treasurer, where he now keeps his Store. He has likewise imported in the last Ships from London, a fresh Assortment of European Goods." Mother's Constancy. There is an enduring tenderness in the love of a mother for a son that transcends all other affections of the heart. It is neither to be chilled by selflessness nor daunted by danger nor weakened by worthlessness nor stiffened by ingratitude. She will sacrifice every comfort to his convenience; she will surrender every pleasure to his enjoyment; she will glory in his fame and exult in his prosperity, and if misfortune overtakes him he will be the dearer to her through his misfortunes, and if disgrace settles upon his name she will still love and cherish him in spite of his disgrace, and if all the rest of the world casts him off she will be all the world to him—New York Weekly. Hite and Misses A brilliant after dinner speaker said in one of his speeches at a banquet in New York: "I have learned two things in my time—I have learned to run an automobile and I have learned to golf. "While learning to run an automobile I hit everything, whereas while learning to golf I hit nothing."—Exchange. Dodging a Task "I hate shopping. I got out of having to match some puffs for my wife today in rather a neat manner." "How was that?" "Reminded her that I had always insisted her beautiful tresses were matchless."—Kansas City Journal. Hard Job. Matrimonial Agent—Really, when I see those two whom I am going to introduce to each other I don't know to which I shall break it gently. Filegende Blatter. Not the Same.

Wiggs—How mighty exclusive Uppish is getting of late, Biggs—Exclusive! Why; he refuses even to meet his bills.—Exchange. The Glad Hand We are not isolated units in this universe of ours. We are all of us members of a great world community. All of us are so constituted that our welfare and our happiness depend on the maintenance of good will with others. To a great extent, however, we always have it in our power to determine just what the attitude of others toward us shall be. We have this power by virtue of the fact that the human mind tends to be swayed in its critical judgments by the character of the emotional moods experienced. People usually think exactly as they feel. Hence the value of the glad hand. The cordial greeting, the cheery smile, the display of genuine interest—all these help to create pleasurable moods in other persons, and consequently prepossess them in our favor. Whereas the cold, indifferent approach, the flabby handsake and the languid air arouse feelings of antagonism, if not of suspicion and aversion.—H. Addington Bruce in Kansas City Star. Perfect Pitch A fairly large number of people are gifted with a good ear for music, and their friends think it quite wonderful that they are able to play or whistle tunes which they have heard only once. But this gift, however remarkable it may seem, is by no means extraordinary or exceptional, especially when compared with the possession of what is called an "ear of absolute pitch". This means that the person possessing it is able to stand away from the piano and tell you what note you are playing or in what key. One well known lady pianist is able to read over the score of a piece of music in the train or omnibus, leave the book behind her and yet play the whole piece through by memory when she reaches home. Perfect pitch is a gift to some people, but it can be acquired. Indeed, many authorities say that to be a really great musician this power must be possessed—London Answers. Signatures and Signs. Walter Crane's signature—a crane impaled on a W—reminds us that other English artists have adopted queen "beasties" to form their signature. There was Richard Doyle, for instance, who among his friends and in his sigature pretended only to be "Dicky," for you will find in the corner of many of his Punch drawings a "D" with a very perky looking bird standing thereon. But Whistler's was the most famous, though somewhat incongruous. His sign manual often took the shape of a butterfly, though a wasp would have expressed him better, for he was not only an artist, but the author of "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies." And there are many who cherish envelopes from Professor Blackie with the Greek scrawl meaning "Tell the truth in love."-London Spectator. A. Land Without Flies It should be refreshing and a bit encouraging to the fatigued, hopeless fly fighters to know that there is in the world a country in which there are no flies. The place is the British West Indies. This interesting fact—that there are no flies in British West Indies—starts up a number of questions and curious conjectures. Why is it that they have no flies? Is it that they have lost the seed, or is it that they have some active parasite or animal that feeds on flies, like the South American anter, for instance? Certainly it is not that they have no filth. They have heat and moisture, and, if rumor has it true, they have all the filth that is necessary. That these three conditions can exist without any files is what we do not understand—North Carolina Health Board Report. Replimentary Frontiers On either side of the commons chamber of Great Britain's parliament house there is a distinct line along the floor, and any member who when speaking steps outside the line on his side is liable to be called to order. These lines are supposed to be scientific frontiers, and the neutral zone between is beyond the length of a sword thrust, and although members no longer wear swords, except those who are selected to move and second addresses to the throne on certain occasions, the old precaution still lingers on.-Westminster Gazette. Still In Doubt. "Why don't you marry, old chap?" "Do you think a man could procure all the necessaries of life on $1,900 a year?" "Of course, but not the luxuries." "Well, I haven't decided yet whether a wife is a necessity or a luxury." Boston Transcript. Rigeon English.

Boom eof Bia Guna Early in April, 1912, a man living at Hambledon, near Godalming, wrote to the Spectator, saying: “As I sat read- tmg the other afternoon I heard, or, rather felt, @ long vibrating boom sev- emi times repeated. I thought at first it was a motor van maneuvering be- hind the house, but found nothing there. ‘Then I guessed what it might be and forthwith wrote to the chief gunnery officer of bis majesty’s ship Orion to make sure. 1 am therefore able to state that the discharge of the Orion's guns was distinctly audible uinetyseven statute miles from the sip, the sound taking somewhere about eleven minutes to travel the dis- tance.” An even more remarkable instance of the immense distance at which gun fre can be beard was afforded at the time of the Freneh victory at Stein- tech, ‘The booming of the guns was Gstinctly beard on the northern slopes ot the Bernese Alps far down in Switzerland. The distance is just dgbty miles as the crow fies, and in this case it must be remembered that the guns were not the 135 naval fants, but merely field artillery—Lon- é2 Opinion.

It was the duty of the second mate to look after the fire bag, and in case of shipwreck to attach it at once to ‘his person by means of stout straps Provided for the purpose. So, if officers and crew were cast away on some de- serted shore, the means of obtaining a fire were not wanting so long as the Precious fire bag was safe. ‘The modern steam whalers and seal- ers carry a fire bag stowed in the life- boats with the bread and water, but it is of rubber, and contains half a dozen Water tight tin ‘boxes of matches. — Philadelphia Press. lies tei ei dee ‘The main principle of the siphon ts the same as that of a suction pump— vig, that if a vacuum be created in a tube inserted in water the normal pres sure of the atmosphere will cause the water to rise in the vacuum to a height of about thirty-three feet.
