Hon. Emmett J. Scott, One of the Assistant Secretaries of War, Bangueted by the Texas Club, at the Idlewild Hotel, 33rd Street and S. Wabash Avenue. It Was in Every Way a Very Classy and Pleasant Affair.
ATTORNEY JAMES N. SIMMS VERY FITTINGLY INTRODUCED DR. MONROE A. MAJORS, PRESIDENT OF THE TEXAS CLUB WHO SERVED AS TOASTMASTER.
MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM C. GRAVES WERE AMONG THE HONORED GUESTS PRESENT. MR. GRAVES IS THE PRIVATE SECRETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL MAN OF MR. JULIUS ROSENWALD, PRESIDENT OF SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO.
MANY BRILLIANT AND ELOQUENT TOASTS WERE DELIVERED BY THOSE WHO WERE CALLED ON TO SPEAK.
JULIUS F. TAYLOR SPOKE ON THE "POWER OR THE INFLUENCE OF THE PRESS OR THE NEWSPAPER." AT THE CONCLUSION OF HIS REMARKS, HE WAS HEARTILY APPLAUDED BY THE MEN AND WOMEN SEATED AT THE BANQUET TABLES.
to his when his name was called by the smiling toastmaster.
Col. W. Allison Sweeney, W. H. A. Moore, Mr. W. E. Mollison and Attorney J. Gray Lucas eloquently unbosomed themselves of extended and short remarks. Mr. Lucas maintained that war and the sword had accomplished more for the elevation and the advancement of the Colored race than peace.
Mrs. DeWitt Smith gave a highly interesting recitation. Mr. Scott, during his very delightful and highly polished talk, fully proved that he was more than capable of reflecting great honor and credit upon the twelve million Colored people residing in this grand and glorious republic.
BOHOES OF THE MEETING AT SOUTH PARK AVENUE CHURCH TUESDAY EVENING.
It was a case of a square peg in a round hole when Editor Robert S. Abbott, of the World's Greatest Weekly, endeavored to preside at the meeting in which our honored guest, the Hom. Emmett J. Scott, was the principal speaker. Editor Abbott's capers were really funny. His native ability to tangle the phrases of the English language into a ridiculous rhapsody evoked much laughter from the mixed audience. Of course, it was done "up the sleeve," for the sake of not embarrassing the seriousness of the occasion, but, nevertheless, the scene and setting of the situation could not restrain one from hiding laughter until he reached the proper place to give vent to his inward passion.
THE
PRESIDENT
JULIUS P. TAYLOR, WILL SPEAK ON THE SUBJECT, "THE CIVILIZATION OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS."
HON. PATRICK J. CARR
that a war indemnity will be levied upon us if Germany wins?
The looting of Belgium, of Russia, of Boumania and Serbia; indemnities and assessments against every little or big victim of her force.
Belgium scrapped to the bone, every thing taken that could be carried off, still has to pay an annual levy of $100,000,000.
Bucharest, when captured, was assessed $380 per capita.
Chicago is a far, far richer city than Bucharest, and the Prussian takes all the traffic will bear. But assess Chicago on the Bucharest basis, and it would have to give—give, not lend—to Prussian conquerors $950,000,000; assess Illinois on that basis and the state would have to pay $2,280,000,000; assess the United States on that basis and the Prussian lot would be $40,000,000,000.
Staggering as they seem, such assessments would be but a beginning. There would be annual levies as long as Prussia was dominant. Prussia is out to loot the world, and the measure of her rapacity is the strength of her sword.
The members of the Appomattox Club are becoming actively interested in Dr. LeEoy N. Bundy, and at a meeting held recently a committee was selected to devise ways and means to raise some money to sid him in his legal battle for his life when he is put on trial at the September term of court.
William B. Cowan is chairman of the committee; John B. Auter, secretary.

I made it from there to Petersburg

‘most refined polished scholars of the

is a good president, and believes in ao-

a student in Fisk University about 21
years ago, and now he is doing some-
thing to help others “to get an educa-
tion, I want to congratulate Virginia
upon having at the head of its schools
for our people such an able young man.
I must not forget to tell you that J.
M. Gandy, Jr., is now in the world and
he is doing his part to make things go.
He has been here little more than a
month, but every miaute of the time
has been used. Bema St Seen
just one day, they ‘put him to work,
doing farm chores. He was the milk
boy, and that has been helpfal to him.
He is just like his father, and Y am
going to predict for him a bright future.
He is going to make the world know
that he has been here, for his father
and mother are going to see that he
gets proper training.
After talking with that bright young
man, Prof. Conner, I got myself to-
gether and went down to breskfast, and
there I was served by a meal whieh had
been superintended by one of the finest
young women of anybody's race, Miss
Eugenia Mundy, head of her depart-

then, only @ little time was there,
for I had in mind to go to the Din-
‘widdie Normal and Industrial school,
‘at Dinwiddie, Ve. At the pad of this
institution is Prof. Walter E. Wool
yard, another Fisk graduate, and like
Prof. Gandy, he is making good .and
sure ‘auf good at that. He has started
from the ground floor and up.
He satved on the late ‘Wiliam

other points. He is now doiag his part
‘at this institution of whieh he is presi-
ent. Tho Zion church, headed by
Bishop Blackwell, « man of ability, a
aim of brains and thought, He has
been patting all into his work down
there, and he is doing the proper thing
for his race. I am not going to be able
to tell you all about the institution this
week. I spent the night and day
around sbont there and: when I did
leave I made it right on into Congress.
‘That is to say I went to Washington,
D. ©, and from Washington on to this
part of the world.
‘I have told you time and time again
about Rev. W. H. Jernagin. Ho is still
‘that same busy man, making sboat 22
hours out of 24 work, and be spends
the rest of the time resting. He is a
wonderfal young minister and his work
is telling the story. In everything that
means méral unlift for our people, he
4s to be found, and he is at work. Upon
him you may rely, and when it comes
to looking after the interest of oar peo-
ple in Washington, Dr. Jernagin is right
‘there with the goods. He is prepared
to deliver them.
Speaking. ‘of Dr. \Jernagin, I was
pained to learn of the death of Rev.

WONDERFUL WORK OF WOMEN.
By Grace Dixon, Director for Women,
‘Seventh Pederal Reserve District.
This is the last woek of the third
Liberty Loan drive. By Saturday this
‘country must have subseribed act ozly
the $3,000,000,000 asked of us’ by the
ustional government but many times
‘that amount. The honor of our people,
the morale of oar troops, demands that
this grest, great loan be oversubscribed
as much as it is humanly possible to
have it. We must and will show to the
world that we as true and loyal Ameri-
cans are behind the American govern-
ment.
‘Think for a moment of the prycholog-
eal effect of the news upon our men
‘over there if we should fail im this, our
pert. ‘Think of the joy it would bring
to the Beast of Berlin if be should hear
that the American people are so indif-
ferent to the outcome of this war that
‘they must be foreed to contribute their
share to the successful prosecution of
it, and will only do what they cannot
get out of doing. Surely such s thing
can never come to pass. Our boys are
over there in France, offering their
lives for us, suffering untold horrots
that we may be safe and the world
made a decent place to live in. They
sre depending upon us here at home to
back them up, to provide them with
‘the best possible equipment that ean be
used to defeat the Hun and defeat him
quickly, so that Peace may come. Are
we going to fail them. No!
‘The men and women of the seventh
district have already shown that they
‘will not fail if they keep on increasing
the effectiveneas of their organizations
as they have done in the past. Already
the women of this district:have raised
$70,000,000 as against $35,000,100 raised |
by them in the last, Liberty Loan ative,
and the men have also exceeded the
amount of their last Liberty Loan Sab-
scriptions. Bat that is nothing, The
fight grows worse and worse. We must
ge on Sighting harder too. Terrible
things are happening over there where
gar thin line of soldiers stands between

CONCERNING BUTTERMILK
Buttermilk is not only a and for most people a delicate age, but it is also a nourishing well. As is known, it contitually all the food material, milk, with the exception of the of which, of course, is remote process of churning.
Buttermilk contains about cent of protein, nearly five per carbohydrates in the form sugar, 0.7 per cent of minerals and 0.5 per cent of fat basis a quart of buttermilk little over an ounce of protein is one of the chief body builders.
According to a recent build the Dairy Division of the U. ment of Agriculture, the incent of buttermilk indicates its popularity as a beverage. It now people are beginning to realize is much better to drink a gltermilk than it is to const drinks having little or no fat. Many physicians are now recon its use for certain intestinal and its use is being increased pitals.
Prepared or artificial but usually made from skim milk all the chemical properties of milk. If it is churned, as the case, it agrees in appear flavor with real buttermilk. The U. S. Dairy Experts say it a better product, especially sweet skim milk is used and fully ripened and churned. buttermilk can be made in home; but as a rule, it will better when purchased from dealer.
It is claimed, too, that a hot weather drink can be more ordinary buttermilk by simple lemon juice and sugar. “B lemonade,” as it is called, is using the juice of three lea quart of buttermilk and add to suit the taste. The number to be used may also be varied, eases it would seem that two ample. Those who have tried that it is both a delightful and hot weather drink.
Buttermilk is not only a refreshing and for most people a delicious beverage, but it is also a nourishing food as well. As is known, it contains practically all the food materials of whole milk, with the exception of the fat, most of which, of course, is removed by the process of churning.
Buttermilk contains about three percent of protein, nearly five per cent of carbohydrates in the form of milk sugar, 0.7 per cent of mineral constituents and 0.5 per cent of fat. On this basis a quart of buttermilk contains a little over an ounce of protein, which is one of the chief body builders.
According to a recent bulletin from the Dairy Division of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the increasing use of buttermilk indicates its growing popularity as a beverage. It means that people are beginning to realize that it is much better to drink a glass of buttermilk than it is to consume other drinks having little or no food value. Many physicians are now recommending its use for certain intestinal disorders and its use is being increased in hospitals.
Prepared or artificial buttermilk is usually made from skim milk and has all the chemical properties of buttermilk. If it is churned, as is usually the case, it agrees in appearance and flavor with real buttermilk. In fact the U. S. Dairy Experts say it is often a better product, especially if clean, sweet skim milk is used and it is carefully ripened and churned. Prepared buttermilk can be made in the city home; but as a rule, it will be found better when purchased from a reliable dealer.
It is claimed, too, that a delicious hot weather drink can be made from ordinary buttermilk by simply adding lemon juice and sugar. "Buttermilk lemonade," as it is called, is made by using the juice of three lemons to a quart of buttermilk and adding sugar to suit the taste. The number of lemons to be used may also be varied. In most cases it would seem that two should be ample. Those who have tried it say that it is both a delightful and refreshing hot weather drink.
Notice—Change of Name.
The organization, known for years as the National Association for the Study & Prevention of Tuberculosis, announces a change of name and address effective May 1, 1918.
The new and shorter name is National Tuberculosis Association; and the address is 381 Fourth Avenue, New York City. Kindly take notice and be governed accordingly.
From a health standpoint it is poor economy to decrease your children's supply of milk. As the Department has said and is now telling the people through its "healthgrams" in the street can, "Milk at ten cents a quart is the best and cheapest of foods." It would be impossible now to purchase three-quatters of a pound of steak or eight nice fresh eggs for ten cents, yet a quart of good milk is equal to either of these in food value. Moral—don't cut down your family milk supply.
Ignorance is not bliss and folly is never wise. And especially does this apply to the things you know and do affecting your health.
