He has been told that this congregation is about to make the new Harper Theater, a block east of his church, their place of worship.

WASHINGTON GIVES REASONS FOR HEALTH WEEK Principal of Tuskegee Institute Follows Call For National Observance By Issuing Bulletin Showing Need of Education Along Health Lines. Under the call of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, Dr. Booker T. Washington, president, preparations are going forward in all parts of the country for South, particularly, for carrying out the suggestions which have been outlined by Dr. Washington and his executive committee for the observance of National Negro Health Week. The particular reasons for asking the Negro people of the country to observe National Negro Health Week are set forth in a bulletin statement just issued and which follows. Dr. Washington writes: Tiree Important Points. 1. We are asking the colored people of the nation to unite in observing a National Negro Health Week in the belief that in carrying out the suggestions outlined below they will be doing a possible service to themselves and to the sick. Many diseases are spread from the sick to the ill means of germs that come from the sick person. These germs find their way into filth and waste and reach the bodies of well persons to whom they give the disease. 2. Diseases Most Fatal to Negroes: The following are the diseases most fatal to Negroes: Diseases of Infancy from which 27 per cent of all deaths among Negroes occur; tuberculosis, from which 18 per cent of all Negroes die; pneumonia, 11 per cent of all their deaths; all of all their deaths; Bright's ease, 7 per cent of all their deaths; diarrhea, 5 per cent of all their deaths. 3. Diseases Exact Their Greatest Toll from the Young: The diseases which annually sweep away such large numbers of our people exact their greatest toll of babies and children and of our young men and women, who being in the very prime of life, and intellectually the most valuable of future progress of our race. Instead of these persons living and doing service as leaders of the masses of our people, they give their lives a useless toll to death. Our only remedy for this fearful drain on the pick and flower of our young womanhood and manhood is a widespread incursion of the habit of clean surroundings and clean living. Planning Details A suggestive or outline program will be issue very soon, the purpose being to ask various communities to take care of their outline program and have it reprinted in some communities, under the auspices of several co-operating agencies, so that a detailed program for getting results may be followed in each community.

BUSINESS CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED BY LEAGUE (Special to Chicago Defender.) Kansas City, Mo. Feb. 5.—The Kansas City Negro Business League did not succeed in securing the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League for August, 1915, but it is nevertheless arranging just as casually as it can for the 1916 convention.

The Kansas City League is now making plans for a campaign for more Negro business in Kansas City, and for closer relations between the business interests and the common people. Instead of going to the churches the plan is to hold a series of neighborhood meetings for two weeks with a final winup at all churches through Kansas City on the same Sunday. This will be known as "Negro Business League Day," and the effort will be made to make it an annual event in Kansas City. Rock Island, Ill., Feb. — (Special) —Henry E.

A horse trough in one of the suburbs of Sydney was the scene of a funny incident the other afternoon. Two dogs, water/spanials, were trotting along, when they came to this place, and stopped for a drink. They were both thirsty, but neither was tall enough to drink. The matter over, as dogs will, and wondered why they had not been treated with as much consideration as horses. Presently they sciked the problem. One of them ranged himself under the edge of the trough and the other, resting his forefeet upon his companion's back, was able to reach into the pool and slake his thirst. When he had finished he hopped down, seemed to say that the water was good, and then in turn ranged himself under the edge of the trough, and other rays talked for the drink he had earned. He was satisfied, they trotted away together, as well contented as any man could be who had met a problem and vanquished it.—Dawn. Canada's Capital. The old seat of government in French Canada was the city of Quebec. Under British rule the capital was Montreal, but as a result of a riot in 1849 the government was removed and alternated between Toronto and Quebec until 1858, in which year Queen Victoria selected Ottawa as the capital of Canada. Ottawa was founded under the name of Bytown in 1829 and was incorporated in 1854 when the name was changed. Did They Bush?

Editor Defender—I certainly like the question. "What should I ask?" a question. If there ever has been a question in Second Ward politics that has been asked to people than this one I don't know what it has been, and I have lived here for a long time. "What should I do to the armed People Get an Alderman?" seems to be on the lips of everybody. "I don't believe in the armed People get an Alderman?" "wake up" and concentrate our forces on one man. In my opinion Mr. Anderson is a man of experience and superior in intelligence. After all, it is not so much race representation with ability. In Mr. Anderson I believe we have the man and I think that the colored men, men and women in Second Ward also think so on primary day. A SUBURBANITE'S IDEA. BORGAN Park, Feb. 2, 153. Editor Deleonard, very carefully the articles published in your valuable paper concerning Mr. L. B. Anderson's candidacy for Aberdeen on Monday, press my opinion through its columns. Would you like to hear the second Word I am interested in, which benefit our race, and I also have a large number of friends in this ward. I am sure the proposition could have been proposed than the one Mr. Anderson put before people, whose choice, he stands by the consequence though it is against him. This in itself would make him a people choice, because he has been the first in the last January 30th Mr. Anderson asks Mr. Deprept nine questions. If Mr. Anderson about would he ask those questions Mr. Anderson is the man to represent our people in the City Council. He has a AFFECTED BY WATER'S DEPTH Geographers Have Found It Easy to Trace Tidal Tidal Icristalites To be exact, there is only one ocean in the world where the tides follow the moon with regularity, and this is the great Antarctic basin. And the reason is that there is no only place a sweep of water is to be found that is entirely uninterrupted by land. The enormous wave caused by the moon's attraction curve round the world south of Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope with absolutely nothing to break down. Here in our northern hemisphere great masses of land interrupt the tide waves and, combined with the tide waves, inland seas, each them to perform antics of the most strange, both of the water has much to do with the tide irregularities. Out in the open ocean where the tide is physical--about fire thousand fathoms —the speed of the waves is amazing. The depth decreases to five fathoms the tide cannot travel more than fifteen miles an hour. In England, for example, which is surrounded by narrow land-broken seas, the result is that they get some of the most dangerous tidal races and currents to be land. The most formidable of the whirlpool between the islands of Jura and Scaraba, on the west coast of Scotland. This is known as the "Caldron of the Spotted Seas." More than the current runs at times at the rate of more than twelve miles an hour, and the force of a heavy tidal current raising up to the wide-mouthed river forms what is called a "bore." A most striking example of this tidal nature is often seen on the Amazon then a moving wall of water, reading from bank to bank and to a height of more than twenty feet, will rush inland. Keepag Flowers With Sugar. Two possessors of the school of agriculture at Rennes, France, have made one interesting experiment in prolonging the lives of cut flowers. One hundred different flowers were used in the experiments, and it was found that sugar helped to keep most of the fresh, but was positively induced to lilies and sweet peas. It was found that sugar helped orchids, but did not thus affect tulips, daisies or chrysanthemums. Experiments were made with small quantities of chloral, ether, glycerin, alcohol, limestone and ammonia salts, end of which served to lengthen the life of various flowers. Some of the flowers kept in sugar and water lived longer as long as they ordinarily dry. The sugar does not have an exactly equal effect on the different flowers if preserves.

Palm Beach Writing of the wonderful Wieliczka salt mines near Cracow in Austrian Poland, the Manchester (England) Guardian gives an interesting description of a railway station in the mine. There are 65 miles of pony tramways, says the Guardian, and 22 miles of all these lines and the principal massing station in a central railway station, with spacious waiting rooms, offices and an excellent refreshment room all complete, all hawn out of rock salt, and looking, according to one description, "more like a summer pavilion than a railway station, with its lattice galleries and stately pillars gleaming white and iridescent." This is comparatively modern, of course. The oldest "building" in the city is St. Anthony, dating from 1691. It contains three altars, a pulpit and much statuary, all elaborately carved out of rock salt. But services are now held only in the more modern but equally elaborate chapel of St. Conung, which is entered down 46 salt steps. The chapel is 65 yards long, and is used regularly for worship. The ballroom is a huge room, where miners' festivals are often held. A miners' orchestra plays, this hall not only for the dances, but the entertainment of visitors, and the mine is one of the wonders of the world and is much visited by tourists. Optimistic Thought.

Mrs. Smith from Columbia was also present. "Hip! Hip! Hurrah!" our modern yell of delight, is said to have an ancient origin. The word "hip" is supposed to be composed of the initial letters of the Latin phrase "Hierosolyma est perdita," meaning "Jerusalem is destroyed," the "in" in "hip" beaten. When the German knights were escorting Jews in the middle ages they are said to have run shooting "Hip, hip," as much as to say Jerusalem is destroyed. Hurrah is said to be from the Slavonic "hural," meaning to parade. Hence, "hip, hip, hip" would mean "Jerusalem is lost, we are on the way to paradise." Diseases That Ravage Armies. Modern science has done much to banish disease amongst soldiers, and the scourges of smallpox, malaria and cholera, which in former campaigns have killed more men than bullets, have lost much of their menace for men, there still remain, however, diseases such as pneumonia, and enteric, which are likely to break out amongst bodies of troops unless careful precautions are taken by the men themselves. Little John saw a small tug tow a large ship, and heard the tug whistle loudly. "Oh, papa," he cried, "the big boats got the little one by the tail and it's squealing." Never Time for Content.' The men who do big things in the world and lead the way to success for others are never quite contented.

The dancing class on Saturday afternoons at the Appomattox club house, inaugurated by Mrs. S. A. T. Watkins, the first lady of the club is proving quite a success, and the gentlemen who have had an opportunity of attending speak in glowing terms of the new dances. Mrs. Nena S.

Meltride is a great admirer of the new dances, and he is a regular attendant at the Saturday afternoon class at the club house. Mr. William Bell is also taking an interest in the dances and quite a rivalry between Mr. Bell and Mr. Meltride now exists as to which will become proficient, first. Mr. McBride claims that after another lesson he will be capable of giving Mr. Bell instructions, as Mr. Bell is very clumsy, therefore it will take some time for him to master the dances. Miss Birdie Clark, 439 South Twenty-first street, Louisville, Ky., is in the city, stopping with Mrs. Pearl C. Wright. From present indications the administration of Mr. S. A. T.

St. Peter's at Rome St. Peter's at Rome is a Basilica—the basilic Vatican—but it never was, and is not now a cathedral—the church where a bishop has its official seat or see. In Rome it is the Lateran church dedicated to Christ the Savior, the Church of St. Peter's Baptist, which holds this dignity. Hence the inscription which all who go there may read, "Mother and Mistress of All Churches." In the Lateran, not! St. Peter's, the pontiff takes possession of his see; and in it the cardinal vicar holds ordinations, on Ember days. People use the word grave in describing St. Peter's as "the Cathedral of Christendom." Had Dangerous Plaything.

As they ran they dropped some of the playthings they had taken from a building under construction. The policeman found the playthings to be sticks of dynamite and percussion caps, used in blasting. The policeman chased the children to their homes and then made them pick the cans and caps he hadn't recovered and restore them to the place from which they had taken them.

SIMMS WIN OVER LAWSON 500 People Witness the Great Contest at Odd Fellows' Hall—$300 Prize Awarded by Messrs. Holt, Simmons, Cole, Catlin, Jones and Banks. JULIUS SEALS PROMOTER. Simma Creates a Great Impression—Lawson Played Steadily Throughout the game—Society Was All Agog—Game To Be Played In Best Homes—Great Interest Manifested. The first championship game of professional billard players took place the day before the game. It was promoted by Julius Seals, one of Chicago's progressive young men, under the auspices of the Chicago Billard Association. A prize of $200.00 was offered to the winner which was donated by Messrs. George Holt, Wm. Simmons, H. T. Catlin and Thos. Cole, Chicago, Messrs. The Jones and O. H. Daukts Bank, Detroit High. The contestants were Mr. J. Simms, Detroit, and Wm. Lawson, Chicago. When it was first published that the event was to take place society people and those liking this game were anxious to get reserve seats. Tickets were not available and new interest was created. Enthusiasm ran high. At all the billiard parlors one could hear nothing but Simms and Lawson. The day before the game the Brunswick Pool and Billard firm sent a 5 by 15 table. The game was played on a 14-2 backline. Mr. Allison, a referee, and seer, Scott, Chicago, were more keeper. Every night the hall was well filled with prominent women and men to see Trumph for Great Composer. When Handel's "Messiah" was first parted, the audience was exceedingly shaken by the music in general; but when the chorus struck up, "For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth," they were so transported that they all, including the king, who was present, started up and began to sing, and ended; and hence it became the fashion in England for the audience to stand while that part of the composition is performed.

The longer the pedigree, they say, the shorter the tail. the game. The general appreciation of the game was so great among the women that the society people are going to take up the game and introduce their homes, as billboards is regarded by the nationalities as one of the clearest and most enjoyable of all sports. Simms outpointed Lawson in the first block of play, scoring 300 points to 132 for Lawson (he stopping 108 points behind). Lawson came back in the 2d block and with brilliant and steady play overcame this great lead, and at on time led the count by 21 while he then took a sudden slump while Simms played the 2d block with a score of 600 to 532. The 3d and final block was an exhibition of brilliant and sensational plays, more especially on the part of Simms. Mr. Simms created a very great sensation with a most brilliant shot; the side cushion kiss shot down the side rail, striking the end rail taking the reverse English" and returning up the side rail for a count. Mr. Lawson played steadily throughout the play but was unable to substantiate a lead at. Mr. Simms proved himself to be a master of the table in close places. Relative play.....882 Average .....3.09 Points .....794 Relative play.....1.000 Average.....1.00 Points.....900 Great credit should be given Mr. Julius Seal, who was the promoter. It is reported that another big event will be pulled off soon and a great event in the summer when there will be billiard players here from all over the world, making it an international event.

People who never saw an expert game were able to witness one this week. He Was Honest. A small colored boy stole some brass fittings from a building and was taken before the judge, who severely reprimanded him and bade him take back the stolen property.

The Russian church, which terms itself a codoxo — pravoslavy — differs considerably from the other Christian temples by its suboriental style that is half Tartar, half Byzantine, possesses its distinctly Slavic element. With its glided cupulas, bright-colored roofs and ornaments, white glaring walls, it has more of a mythologic and legendary character than one stately gothic or romanesque cathedral.

Compiled to go at work on an early age, his first job was office manager at the office he boy, he went to the wholesale dry goods establishment of James H. Walker in 1885, and remained with him until he was an office boy, he went to the wholesale dry goods establishment he went to the dry goods firm of John V. Farewell & Co and remained there 17 years—until he was elected County Clerk. He was elected in 1901, and for many years his salary was of a million dollars a year, the candidate of the Democratic "harmony committee" for County Clerk, and was elected by 15,000 plurality over Joseph C. McCormick. He was elected to be elected to that office in 22 years. Last summer in a direct priory was remanded by a vote of two and a half votes, as that of the nearest contender. In the election he led the ticket, and won the Republican, 400 over Lewis D. Sittis, Republican. As County Clerk he has regenerated the commendation of the Efficiency Bureau. Two notable achievements were the County Councillor's office and the outing of the "marrying justices" from Swetland license bureau. Swetland office is at 2953 West Jackson boulevard. *Wiping Out Beats of Prey.* A mountain lion recently killed in the forest of North Carolina is present which adduces the mountain forest, measured ten feet from nose to tail.

VETERAN POLITICIAN SAYS VOTERS FAVOR ANDERSON. (Continued from Page 1.) get that success depends upon the individual, voter, man and woman alike, doing his and her duty by votive action. Then we believe to be the best qualified to represent us in the city council. Beware of "Quack Doctor." BEWARE of "quack Doctor." Above all things we should not permit a political pill for all political ailments. It does not matter whether we are in accomplishing somethings or whether we are anxious to prevent us from gaining this desire. In either case it is the same old "pill"—organization. Let me illustrate my point: Last fall my good friend Roberts was defaced as a Republican date for the legislature from the First Senatorial district, not because he was not an efficient man and fit in every respect for the place, but because every time he opened his office in an organization "pill" and this, too, in spite of the fact that he had no "organization" behind him. What defeated Mr. Roberts, in my opinion, has already defeated Dr. DePriest, the so-called of the Second ward. People Must Choose. The thinking mind will ask where of I speak, and why? To begin with, the Second Ward Republican organization is not solidly behind Mr. Depriest as he so persistently in his public speeches (ells his hearers). I am not sure he is talking about, yet the "political quick doctor" forces Mr. Depriest to take up the organization "pill" every hour. Can he stand such sleep-producing dope? I think not. Such methods will defeat every and any candidate who is not going to next twenty years. In my way of thinking it is high time for us to wake up and turn on the alarm so that the people may come to our assistance, and if we are to have an alderman, he should be "of the people, for the people." Above all, he should be commissioned and elected by the people. Want Fair and Free Field. Want Fair and Free Field, I believe in this great struggle to secure the right to our race for the first time in history, but the peculiar existing conditions—one-half of the organization for one, one-and-a-half for the man identified with the race should fight against the sentiment of the people in his preict. The people should have a fair and free field, do not be sending all effort in their power to seize all their best judgment dictates. The people in the Sixth prefect where I reside have been with me for the past twenty years and have called on me by delegations on seven occasions asking me to be with them in the year I am not now and I hope I never will be, above the people who placed confidence in me, so I have given them the final answer that I will be with them. The people in my life are almostly Louis B. Anderson for almostly the Second ward and I, in obedience both to my own sense of the fitness of the candidates, and their will, are also for and with Louis B. Anderson, and the people. That Mr. Anderson is unhappy with the fitness, fitness, and education, as far above the other candidates as the mountain is from the valley, is a fact all who know Mr. Anderson will certainly agree. He should be nominated thereby reflect the wisdom of the race. Purity of Water It is sometimes useful to be able to obtain an idea of the purity or otherwise of a given water supply without a chemical or biological analysis. Among the constituents of sewage are phosphates in comparative abundance. If a clear glass bottle is nearly filled with sewage, it will contain either two or two of sugar added, and the whole corked tightly and placed in a sunny place for two or three days, the water will be clear. Even if it contains phosphates in excess, a milkiness will have developed in it, in which case, the suspicion of an organism would be sufficiently confirmed. If the water supply before any more of it is used, for drinking purposes. MYTHS HARD TO DOWN ONCE GAINING MEASURE OF BE LIEF, THEY LAST. That Bonaparte Visited London Wet Once Common Talk—Many Irishmen Convinced De Wet Really was Charles S. Parnell. Was Napoleon Bonaparte ever in London? There is a legend that in 1791 or 1792 he lodged in George Washington's armory, the comedian Matthaeus, James Colman, who had lived in Leicester square for a century, and several honest tradesmen of the Strand sword him during his visit of five weeks. It was noted that he passed most of his time in walking through the streets. Occasionally he took a cup of chocolate at a coffee shop, occupied himself in reading "and presented" provoking to gentlemen in the room. And so there is a Bostonian of intelligence, who, visiting in a country in England, swears that he saw a soldier. He knew the uniform and recognized it. Another intelligent Bostonian has a friend that happened to be at Archenau, where he saw Rus. What would life be without the myths and legends? During the Boer war there were Irishmen in Ireland, and possibly in the country, who believed that De Wet was the god of war. Charles Stewart Parrall. The book a facial resemblance, and some decried to believe the story of Parrall's death. There are Georgians who will sweat to you on the honor of a southern gentleman that Marshal Ney would to death as in Gerome's picture; that he would lie in Gerome's bed, the life of a planter, prospered and died in a good old age. It is easy to convince many that the dauphin died in prison. If some of the claim of the clockmaker, other historians, William. What a stir—the author "Have We a Bourbon Among Us?" made about sixty years ago when it was published in Puritan's Magazine! published "The Lost Prince," published the satisfaction the identity of Louis XVII and the blindness missionary to the Indians. The common people at Richard F. Burton's insultation at the fortified city, believed that the Archeduke Maximillian was not killed in Mexico, but a prisoner there, guarded by three Indians in the English, French and Australian, was not in his coffin of porphyry when his funeral cost two hundred thousand souces. He appeared in revolt among the Parthians even while Suecus was alive and writing down his suicides, gossip about the emperors. Fisherwomen Knit The fisherwomen of the East of Scotland are among the most dexterous knitters in the world and their skill is being turned to good account of income are, to a great extent, other sources allyzed through the war. Quite recently an urgent need arose for the manufacture at short notice of some boats at the front, and these, through the of the Scottish committee on women's employment, have been placed with the women of a number of fishing vessels up and down the coast of Scotland at the front in Aberdeen. Other large orders for boats, mittens, and the have been given out to the fisherwomen in various parts of Scotland, and they have been given to their diminished earnings in this most difficult time, more especially as in these fishing villages it would be a matter of extreme difficulty to work for the women. American Sugar in Moist Climates. American sugar has been taken in Ireland in good quantities since the outbreak of the present European war, and the climate has been a favorable climate. There seems to be a fair prospect that if the sugar were satisfactory it might hold the market even after the termination of the war, until the beet-sugar areas became fully productive. The sugar-brewing in Ireland is offloaded, so it is not feasible. Therefore American sugar refiners and dealers might well take pains to suit this market by providing a drier sugar than that is available. The climate of Ireland is exceedingly cool. The refiners and the refiners should continue their processes slightly longer than usual in order to produce a very dry sugar. Declares here state that they would be given an dispense with the need of more sugar. The account of this defect—Consult Wesley Frost, Cork (Queens/wn), Ireland. Great Dressmaker an Englishman. The noted Parishian dressmaker, who owed his early success to the patronage of the church, sonage of the third empire, Princess Pauline do Mettemer, the wife of the Austrian ambassador to France, was a dressmaker and manner, who created an institution at the court of Napoleon III and Engleune. Thereafter it was easy to find the most sought of the world's dressmakers, princess approved his styles. Charles Worth, while so long the creator of French fashion, was an Englishman, who lived in Paris in 1859. For Speakers to Remember Dr. Blake Odgers recently gave a lecture on "The Discipline of the Bar." Doctor Odgers asked his audience to stand up, ask up, and stand up, ask up and shut up. "A lounging speaker" he said, "is never convincing, a muttering speaker is not convincing, and he has no honesty in other people's time. He steals it and wastes it. How can you trust him with your conduct or knowledge? If he steals and wastes your time?" Like American Robin. Attempts to introduce the American robin in England have met with considerable success and it is now being copied over to that country, as the English are captivated by their beauty and sweetness of song.

One Woman Asserts the Possession of a New Hat Is Better for Her Than Any Medicine—Beauty as a Business Asset. "Whenever I feel run down always buy a new hat," said a woman not long ago with a laugh. "It is better remedy than doctors and drugs, and is usually a gift." In the case of women who are continually "in the blues" this habit might have drastic results, but there no doubt that the clothes we wear are very strong influence over our spirits. Even a woman who does not care much for dress is conscious of a little inward glow of satisfaction in the face. The dress is well and subtly fitted. She is more subtly and with more confidence under the stimulation of a pretty gown or hat. "Clothes make the man," so we may be in hardly realized how the making or marring of a woman. Shabby clothes that have seen much wear and tear and much attention from the needle and the brush are very comfortable to wear once in a week. You can wear them day after day, with no hope of their renewal, they slowly and insidiously begin to tell on the spirits of their wearer. They give a feeling of shabbliness, and the confidence and right to a place in the world is partly due to the business of the business woman, for she is taken very much at her own value in the world of commerce. It is not necessarily a very expensive business to possess nice clothes. A good tailored costume, though dear and keen, is an economy, for it wears and keeps well. It merely renews the collar and cuff occasionally and varying the blouse with which it is worn, the costume always remains fresh, and gives its weaver the air of being well dressed. It is the most expensive and elaborate clothes that makes for this much-desired effect. It is a vexed question whether beauty or clothes improve a woman most. Beauty is a very valuable asset in life to a woman, but seen in an unsuitable setting it loses much of its value. Beauty is the least attractive looks of a woman who chooses her clothes well and knows how to wear them. It is generally understood from a certain type of novel and play that beauty shines anywhere, under any conditions. Certain women are more likely to the contour of the face, the faultlessness of the complexion or the beauty of the figure, but all these may be overlooked in some cases. The figure may be hidden behind an ugly dress, the complexion may be ruined by the color of the dress, or the face lost under an unsuitable hat. New Coal-Cutter. Revolutionary changes in coal-mining methods are promised upon the general introduction of a coal mine. Pittsburgh mining and mechanical engineer, who has spent more than ten years in perfecting the machine. The device, constructed of structural steel, can attack the coal seam in a few minutes or in any direction. It takes out more than 90 per cent of the coal in the ground, whereas the best practice of today sediment recoveries more than 70 tons of coal per day, sorts of tests, running over many months, the machine has demonstrated that it can cut the cost of mining coal by half. It uses only twenty men attending the machines, ten of them can produce over 1,000 tons of coal a day. Electricity or compressed air can be used, and so little power is required that the cost of power is less than a ton, for each ton of coal mined. In the Face of Worries Here is a special reason for seeking society or the theater: Other people, in real life or on the stage (butter in real life, of course, because there one has to talk back), can best pull one out of the situation, but utterly inadequate. When actual causes of anxiety seem overwhelming, if one can be made to forget them for a time, hope comes into the ascen- tion. The best of all remedies is perhaps to trust in someone you are impossible. It is to "rise superior" to your troubles—to convince yourself, lift yourself, force yourself into the feeling of directorship—of competent and confident directorship of all your wants to, for that may back up our worthy intentions more even than our ancestors began to realize—whatever they professed to believe. This feeling of calm adequacy does much to so- calm the mind, and what is of perkins more impatient, compels peace. —Unglipig Review. --- "Many famous Englishmen and 201 a few distinguished American lives to a good old age, but France holds the modern record for centuries of renown," said a professional man.

Simpson) Fashions for the coming and summer are going to show more evo- coming spring and more evolutions of some presented some months ago than a few A. Very smart and youthful are simple costumes composed of a skirt, a plaited skirt, and a bolero jacket a jacket of matching silk. The skirt is a dress having a plaited skirt, short Eva L. Simpson. plaited sleeves a woven under an "overall" of taffeta. The "overall" is caught together with a ribbon band, having the front and back tails. Tailored outfits have revered pleasantly to the practical qualities that marked them some time back. The short plaited or bell skirt and the short loose cont. with handy pockets nothing to be desired. Among the tailored models you must note the revival of the Norfolk suit. Its adherence to the old-time lines and fabrics is particularly marked because of the fitted skirt and the high-length jacket. The most popular material used for D-lesse suits is covert cloth, with alternating choice of Scotch or chiffon or silk. The most stylish material with contrasting belt and buttons is very good looking. In color schemes, all plain combinations are confined to the dark blue, iron gray and the new lighter shade of blue. Highly favored are all Belgian colors. The different colors are charmingly relieved by black braid trimming, white trimming and white accessories he equally fetching for the summer.

Over the gaumie was an "overall" of the taffeta. A very wide girdle crossing over in front and looped in back to the cash was the finish for the waist. Charming was a taffeta frock combined with alover wear. The skirt the roll effect and composed of seamed woolen ribbon, the same ruff was joined to give the correct flare; a jumper with the lace vest, long sleeves finished with a plaited ruff headed by black velvet ribbon; the same ruff was for the evening modes for spring and summer, lace will be in great demand. Chantilly, Venice and fillet seem to be much more elegant. Lace found in the new popular tucked skirts, having a very dressy bodice portion of jetted heads finished with the sleeveless effect, having shoulder straps of the A pretty Empire frock was seen of pompadour satin; the flaring skin was hung from a babylon yoke of maline, with a velvet ribbon. The little puff sleeves were made of velvet, lining a heading of the maline for a complete finish, the round neck being finished the same. This costume was greatly admired for its simplicity and Blouses, Neckwear, Etc. For wear with the new tailored suit, the separate waist of crepe de chine, crepe meteor, faille, taffeta, and chiffon are simple in line but exceedingly smart in effect when care is needed. The sleeves are plain with suit. Long sleeves prevail and colors are most high in back, low in front, with a sprinkling of the more extreme models, which have the sleeves cut low and each with throat, buttoned straight up the front with tiny buttons and buttonholes. The vogue of black and white has suggested the motion of using white lining under black face mask and white lining under white face mask in any color in any color will be very fashionable. White satin in tailored models are very smart. Gold and silver tassels are combined with white lining under designed to be worn when the warmest weather is discarded, or as a throat protection with low-cut evening gowns now. They are frilly little affairs which fit well up under the chin, having the neck to hang a bit to one side of the front. Neckwear is showing more and more of the closed and the semi-closed styles, which are no doubt an important part of the military influence now so much in all things sartorial. Many of the new designs take on the form of collars high in back, beaded with buttons, straps, bands, or bow. For this the narrow black ribbon is best liked when the material of the collar is satin, batteis or wash fabrics, while the other forms of these new designs have trimmings of more and faille ribbons, also $^2$ narrow width. The "V" neck is often retained in many of these new models, and in some cases exposed or closed as to the collar or as to a vest; it is entirely optional. The square Dutch collar is promised as a summer fashion in neckwear, and the old-fashioned fashion in dresses, and is an important part in the coming warm weather styles. Already I have seen both these forms in dress and waist designs, and there is no question but that they are the way into the models displayed at the separate neckwear counters. Abram-man. It was at one time the practice to allow the inmates of the Abraham ward of Bethlehem hospital, London, to be admitted to the hospital. Certain vurgents imposed on the charitably inclined by pretending to be actual inmates and being abused by an Abram man. Hence the term Abraham obtains money by shamming sickness.

Sugar and sugar-forming foods constitute more than one-half of the nourishment needed by a healthy person. As a food it possesses well-known traits, being a nutrient to adduce tissue and to decide diabetic in its action upon healthy kidneys. If sugar is withheld, in diabetes, a person actually starves and undergoes progressive and severe depletion of sugar or sweets in the dietary is never advisable, but a judicious mixture of sugar with the general diet is necessary to maintain health. Anyone who omits sugar from his diet will suffer from the same condition as no muscular strength. Sugar gives one muscular strength. Eating candy is an agreeable form of sugar. It should not be eaten at all times; it taken before meals it is apt to cause indigestion and upset stomach after meals, with dessert. Growing children need sweet foods and candy to help build up their muscular strength. The child's longing for cake demands for food to give it strength. Let the children have candy at meals, never between meals. Eating too much of the sweet things, particularly between meals, causes formulation in the body and causes serious illness may result. Sugar is an antiseptic. Burning sugar on a shovel will destroy unpleasant odors. For heaviness and weak voice there is nothing more comforting than some sweet slowly dissolved in the mouth.

SERVING TWO MASTERS ONE FOOLISHLY ASKED THE QUE silent regarding lynchings." Even to the reason is apparent. Religion as taught to interpreted to suit the times and to harm The question of whether it is right or w SOMEONE FOOLISHLY ASKED THE QUESTION "why churches are silent regarding lynchings." Even to the most casual observer the region is apparent. Religion as taught today by many of the cloth is interpreted to suit the times and to harmonize with popular feeling. The question of whether it is right or wrong is of minor importance. The divine regardless of his personal convictions, to keep himself in favor and likewise to keep bread in his mouth, pitches his sermon along the lines of least resistance; in other words, instead of serving God he serves the devil and advises his congregation to do the same. What a mighty influence the church could wield if they but would, against these horrible crimes that are of almost daily occurrence, and right here at home, too, where they cannot possibly escape notice. We have rigid laws to protect certain kinds of fish, birds and animals, and these laws are enforced. Somehow it doesn't seem to be a hard matter to detect and punish a hunter who in the depths of the forest shects a bird or an animal covered by this government insurance, or a fisherman who pulls from an obscure stream a member of the faint who likewise protected. These little detective tricks are pulled off so often that even the wily hunter is fearful of taking a chance. Let us look at the other picture. Four human beings, a father, son and two daughters were recently taken from the jail by a Monticello, Ga., mob and lynched, one at a time. The crime (?) they committed was resisting an officer. Hundreds of people took part in this pleasant pastime, yet with the entire law machinery of the state working overtime, up to the present writing the identity of any one of the "gang" is unknown, hence no prosecutions. It was such a flagrant misreidence of the law that the entire southern press took the matter up and pointed the finger of scorn upon Georgia. If the church, Protestant or Catholic, have raised their voice in protest it must have been inwardly, for the general public knows nothing of it. Christianity, what a mockery. Not that there are no good Christian people in this country, for there are—thousands of them—but they are overshadowed by the pretenders. In Brainerd, Min., a little sixteen-year-old girl was obliged to sit apart from the white members of a Sunday school or leave the building. These edifices of brick, stone, mortar, of costly woods and funishishs, are dedicated with the sound of harps, organ and glorious choruses to the One who died on the cross for us all, and yet how many thus dedicated to Him fall into the hands or are managed by his satanic majesty? Our own churches come nearer having the true religion than do the white churches, for their motto is, "Here let no man be stranger." There is no question about the influence of the church and the press. With them for you the pathway is strewn with roses; with them against you the trail leads into the wilderness. We expect much of the church in the way of fair play, because that is what they teach, but unfortunately do not practice. From the press we expect only what we deserve, praise or condemnation. We get the latter in allopathic doses, the former in homeopathic doses. We take our medicine without a murmur even though it does leave a bad taste in our mouths, for we know that we are getting stronger, and strength means everything. Our white brother in the church who plays the part of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde is not hurting us half as much as he is hurting himself and those whom he is influencing. The end must come and the question must arise, what have we done to be saved? RATES OF ADVERTISING. CHICAGO, FEBRUARY 6, 1915. We're a funny set of critters After all.

Thus another fond hope is exp is magnificent theater will have to lay awake up schemes that will be more effective. EVERY MAN AND WOMAN can recall the time when mother or father needed but to mention the "boogie man" or the "goblins" to scare them into being good or into doing something they didn't want to do. Sometimes the thought crosses one's mind that we are always children, and that thought almost amounts to a conviction when we are confronted in after years with "make-believe stories" that are just as effective as they were when we were in swaddling clothes. The "Boogie Man" of adults today is the Afro-American, and he is pictured just as big and ugly and terrible as was his namesake of old. In fashionable Hyde Park members of the Presbyterian church at Fifty-third street and Blackstone avenue, the oldest, wealthiest and largest congregation in that part of the city, are supposed to be in despair over the dilemma presented by a $250,000 playhouse which has been erected immediately adjoining the church, but which cannot open without the consent of the church owing to a city ordinance to that effect. The owners threaten to rent the theater as a church to Negroes unless they are permitted to open the doors as a playhouse. In other words, they are trying to make capital of prejudice. There is no threat they could think of more dire than to hold up the Negro as a neighbor, and to a religious organization, at that. This same contemptible trick has been resorted to in the real estate, game many times before and always met with defeat, as it justly should. The colored people are seldom if ever a party to these schemes, though they come in for a lion's share of the blame. In this particular case Rev. Alexander Allison, Jr., the pastor, states: "The idea is ridiculous; there are not enough Negroes in Hyde Park to fill the first three rows of seats in the theater. Such a rumor could only have started with the owners, as the colored people are all friends of my church and would never dream of renting the theater." Thus another fond hope is exploded and the owners of this magnificent theater will have to lay awake a few more nights conjuring up schemes that will be more effective if less direful.

They do not suffer quite as much discrimination as we'do, but they have their share of it, especially in the matter of hotel accommodation, joining social organizations and the like. The Chicago Culture Club returned the initiation fee of $10 to Mrs. S. S. Feigl because it was discovered that she was a Jewess. The South Shore Club also refused to admit to membership a very wealthy and influential Jew. The real reason for turning them down is seldom stated. The prejudice is so strong against Jewish people in America and elsewhere that they would suffer the same humiliation and hardships as we do were it not for the fact that they practically control the money market, and money batters down quickly the walls of prejudice. The Jews are a splendid race of people, fair and upright, and we would do well to pattern after them. FROM MISSOURI.

PRE-ELECTION PROMISES are only made to be broken, but wouldn't this be an ideal city if the successful candidate for Mayor carried out to the letter his promises made before election. For instance, Seymour Stedman, the Socialist candidate, assures us if elected Chicago will have municipally owned telephones, with calls one cent each, municipal stores and ice houses, clean streets, sanitary jails and less crime, also that under him the city will not be under martial law controlled by the police.

At the conclusion of a recent address he was asked by a man in the audience this question, "If the bakers raise the price of bread and the people start a riot, how would you prevent it?" "I wouldn't try to prevent it," responded the speaker, thereby showing plainly that he believes in fighting. Every forward movement in the history of humanity has at least been accompanied by war. Peace breeds all kinds of ills and pestilence. War is big; peace is little. In times of profound peace men get busy with little things. The United States is a shining example of a country at peace getting busy with little things. The "eternal question" looms up as big as a house every now and then, because they have nothing weightier on their minds. If war will bring a change, as Clarence Darrow avers, let us have war; we have nothing to fear.

C., a complete Southern city all our Senators and Representatives have to do is to pull off a first-class lynching or a burning at the stake of some defenseless family. The sad thing about the affair is that the race in that city will lay down and let the "RED NECKS" shove it down their THROATS. We have not lost hope, though, that some NEGRO will play JOHN BROWN and blow to atoms the first car that should wend its way down Pennsylvania avenue and be heralded the world over as a hero of the first water. WE ARE THE GREATEST EXPLAINING PEOPLE in the world. In a certain county it had been raining incessantly for a number of days and great damage was done by the downfall. Someone started the story that an old man was buried early in December and the body was put in the grave "the wrong way of the world" and until he was disinterred and buried so that he might rise facing the cast the rains would never cease. Somehow the rain did stop before they could carry out his suggestion. It would be interesting to note what actually will be given in this situation but we are leaving two to one it will be up to the standard. TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS is the penalty for carrying a gun of any sort, and yet there are a great many people who daily take a chance of being arrested. The city may be overrun with thieves and hold-up men and the feeling of self-protection comes over most every man, but even with a weapon on your person it is of no avail when needed most and often crimes are committed through anger that mean ruin for life. It is a good law and every loyal citizen can afford to obey the law to a letter. THE NEW EIGHTH REGIMENT ARMORY is fast nearing completion and will be ready for inspection February 22d, when a reception and ball will be given. It is a credit not only to Chicago, but to all of Illinois. It is something we have long needed, hence it will be highly appreciated. A FEW MORE THIRST CURES on the "Stroll" have closed their doors and a few more have sprung up, so there are just as many pitfalls for the young man as ever. Fortunately, most of them are run on a little higher plane than in former years, but they all lead to the same road—Ruin. IF ANYBODY should propose to move the colored people south of the Mason and Dixon line to Liberia, the politicians would seek an injunction to restrain them; first, because it would rob them of their platform, and, second, because it would leave nobody to do the work. THE WAR HAS SENT PRICES KITING in England. Butter was recently reported as the highest it has been for years—38 cents a pound—which is almost as much as we are accustomed to pay when the markets here are overstocked.

We have a golden opportunity to put a representative in the city council—not can we do it, but WILL we do it? AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED, February need not try to keep up January's record; not that we love the coal man less, but the ice man more. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Auto Accident.

What says Prof. Williams as to a change of base? Dr. Booker T. Washington is in the city, attending a meeting of the board of trustees of Howard University, "Hillside Cottage," the historic home of the late Congressman John Mercer Langton, is besieged with callers, anxious to have a word with the "Wizard of Tuskegee."

A movement for the relief of the suffering Liberians is said to be on the way. These people are our own blood and kindred. Who will lead in the work? An extra session of Congress seems to be in sight. Special offerings of a generous size were received last Sunday at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church for the interstate Old Folks' Home. "Congressional Day" was observed, and services were led by Rev. James E. Willis, E. B. Gordon and W. Bishop Johnson. The home is the former residence of the late Edward B. Hay on Corcoran street.

Have a time when a white man in could take a jug of corn white ham or slab of bacon and bag of cotton from the once un- Negro; but today you will same white man enjoying the market can afford in the ored man's house, bough. by him, and with a few thousands in income each year.

That's why he wants to segregate him—not because he is Negro, particularly, but because he is too smart and is advancing too fast. there are but few of the "Uncle Tons" adays.

You, men who hate the black American citizen, for he is coming faster than a German shell. G. F. GILLISON. 109 Andrews street. LAWYERS-MEET.
