Former Presiding Elder and Leading Member of the North Youngstown, O.—After five ears of faithful and exceptional service to the Oak Hill A. M. E. church, this city, Dr. Gilmore has been sent to Steuenville by Bishop Shaffer who presided over the recent sessions of the N. O. conference held at Springfield. More than $12,000 were raised, the Oak Hill Ave. church property cleared of debt, extensive improvements in both church and parsonage made, and the membership would be further assured of Dr. Gilmore who, the modest and unassuming, is quietly aggressive to an exceptional degree. That the congregation should greatly desire his return was perfectly natural under the circumstances, but a rule of the church, limiting a pastorate to five consecutive years in any one charge, made this impossible. Dr. Gilmore has pastored Allen Temple, Cincinnati, and St. John's church, Cleveland, the largest and possibly most representative A. M. E. churches in the state, and he has served presiding under that leader. No other assurance of his exception intellectual attainments is needed. Youngstown's loss is Steuenville's gain. One thing is and that is that wherever he goes, thousands of persons in and out of the church, from one end of Ohio to the other, wish him "God-speed." ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since They Prove Their Ability to Depict Men and Women as They Really Exist. Thoughtful Works of Historical and Literary Merit. By Dr. R. R. WRIGHT. Jr. There has been much progress in race literature within the past few years. Books and pamphlets of real merit by members of the race and by others about the race have appeared in more than usual abundance. In this article only the barest mention can be made of those productions of greatest merit, "The African Abroad," a work of three large volumes, by William H. Ferris, A. M., of New Haven, Conn. Mr. Ferris is a graduate of Vale and Harvard universities and has spent many years in studying the so called race problem. Two volumes deal with the African outside of Africa and in contact with the white race. He has gathered a great mass of facts relating to the race, showing its development and capability. "Facts of Reconstruction." by Major John R. Laych, United States army, retired, is a carefully written history of the reconstruction times, particularly as it relates to the state of Mississippi. Major Laych is evidently prepared to perform the task he sets before himself, having been one of the most prominent figures in that state during reconstruction. He was a member of the legislature, speaker of the house of representatives and a member of congress. Mr. Laych defends the reconstruction governments against the charges so effect made against them of incompetence, extravagance and dishonesty. As to their honesty he says that in Mississippi all funds were accounted for until the reconstructed Republican government was overturned by the Democrats. The first Democratic state treasurer was found to be short over $500,000 and was convicted, sentenced and served in state prison. Mr. Laych by the same sort of facts shows how the only way the Negroes were kept from practical re-enforcement was by the methods of congress in dealing with the reconstruction of the southern governments. The work is to be highly commended and ought to be largely read. "Life of Norris Wright Cuney," by Maude Cuney Hare. This book by the daughter of the great colored politician of Texas tells of the effort of the colored people of that state under the leadership of Mr. Cuney to gain political power. It gives the simple facts as to his rapid rise and his fight against the Lily Whites and the final loss of Texas, as far as the Negroes' real political power is concerned. Many interesting facts concerning his private life, business, family, etc., are given. "Masterpieces of Negro Elocquence," by Alice Ruth Moore Dunbar. This book is a compilation of orations by leading Negro orators. There are fifty-one orations by forty-one individuals. Among those are Prince Saunders, Hilery Teague, Frederick Douglass, John M. Langston, Robert Brown Elliott, Alexander Crumwell, Fanny J. Coppin, W. S. Searbrough, Booker T. Washington, Bishop L. J. Coppin, F. J. Grinke, W. E. B. DuBols, B. C. Ransom and others. It is about 500 pages and is especially adaptable for college students and literary societies. The author has been discriminating in her selections and has rendered the race a real service. In "Reminiscences of an Educator" Fanny J. Copkins has given us a posthumous autobiography to which are added valuable "Hints on Teaching." This remarkable woman died about a year ago. She was born a slave in Washington and after her liberation was sent to Rhode Island. She curly exhibited unusual intellectual aptitude, and after a course of study she was graduated from the Rhode Island Normal school. Being zealous for further education in a day when the advantage of higher education was questioned even for white women, she entered Oberlin college, from which she graduated in 1855. From 1855 to 1902, thirty-seven years, she was a teacher in the famous Institute. For Colored Youth, established in Philadelphia for higher education of the race in 1837. "The Hand of Fate," a drama in five acts by Beresford Gale, intended to show the progress of the race during fifty years. It has considerable merit. It vividly depicts conditions directly after the war and contrasts them with present day conditions. "Mission Study Course," by Rev. J. W. Rankin, D. D., secretary of the missionary department of the A. M. E. church, is the first of a series of text books for the use of those who desire to become missionaries or to become acquainted with missionary work. Another class of books contains those written by whites concerning Negroes. One of the most notable of these is "The Strange Case of Eric Marotti" by John Irving Pearce. This is a historical problem romance of modern life based upon the love of a young man supposed to be a Negro and a young German befreze. John Manning, the GAZETTE colored boy, and Gretheen Hummelmeier, the daughter of a German brewer, were thrown together in early childhood and cultivated an acumen and friendship during their school days through the primary, later middle, grammar and high school periods. John was a good athlete, a fine scholar and developed into a man of superior qualities. Instead of endearing him to those about him, his superior qualities only led them to hate him the more than they suspected he was a Norwegian. Only a few stood firm, among them Gretheen. As the story develops, it shows the most pittable condition in which a really deserving and superior man finds himself not only in social matters, but even in business, because of his color. Then when all seems hopeless and ostracism is almost complete it is suddenly discovered that John Manning, supposed to be colored, is not the real son of Jim and Temaima Manning, the responsible colored couple who resented him, but the son of Mr. and Mrs. Marrott, and descendant of royalty of France and the poets of Scandinavia and belied millions. Then, as any one who knows the utter baseness of American prejudice, all the snobs and cries of white society who had tried to crush John Manning, colored, to tie with another in doing the link spitfire net to curry favor with him, now found to be the white and rich Eric Marrott. The book is commented without reserve. "Liberia," by Frederick Starr, professor of ethnography and ethnology of the University of Chicago. Professor Starr has written an extremely serviceable and eminently fair book upon the Negro republic. The profesor tells of his visit to the country and his impressions of the same. He discusses the physiography, political geography, society, government, economics history and problems of Liberia. Especially interesting is his treatment of the problems: The boundary question, frontier force, development of trade and transportation, the native population, education, immigration, public debt and foreign loans, politics, etc. Professor Starr seems to think that Liberia has not got a fair chance from writers as a rule. He holds out hope. He says in his preface: "A successful Liberia would be a star of hope to the dark continent. In Liberian success there lies African redemption—redeemation not only in the religious sense, but redemption economic, social, governmental. If the black man can stand alone in Liberia he can stand alone elsewhere. If the Negro is able to organize and maintain a government on the west coast and in the southern part of Africa. The book contains a list of Liberians and presidents since the beginning, the constitution, declaration of independence and national anthem. The author pays a growing tribute to such colored men among the early founder of Liberia as Elijah Johnson and Lott Carey and such men of its later days as President Joseph J. Roberts, President Arthur Barclay and others. He thinks that Liberia offers a fine opportunity for Negro Americans of intelligence, energy and some money. "The Negro's Progress For Fifty Years" is the subject of the September issue of the Annals of the Academy of Political and Social Science. It contains articles by leading sociological writers of both races, the colored men being Dr. Dubols, Professor Kelly M. Miller, Dr. George E. Haynes and R. R. Wright, Jr. Professors M. X. Work T. C. Walker and B. F. Lee. The articles treat of various phases of Negro progress. "The Human Way" is the title of the published report of the section on race relations of the southern sociological conference which met in Atlanta, Ga. last year. The addresses are chiefly by southern white men and women and give a side of the relation of races which does not usually find its way into print. C. V. Rounan represents the colored man in a well written paper on "Racial Self Respect Versus Racial Antagonism". This little book is no doubt the advance expression of the leaders of the new democracy and new Christianity which must sooner or later take hold of the south. "Hazel" is a story for children by Miss Mary W. Owington, the author of "Half a Man" and one of the leaders of the Association For the Advancement of Colored People. It is pleasing reading, nothing objectionable, but in many ways highly acceptable and suggests a line of writing which will be developed in the future both by Negro and white authors to meet the demands of 12,000,000 colored people. There have been numerous pamphlets that have appeared during the past six months, the number which have come into my hands being so great I will not even attempt to mention them. New York Baptist State Convention. The annual meeting of the New York state colored Baptist convention will be held with the church of that de nomination on State Island for threeds, beginning probably on Wednesday, Oct. 24. The convention does a large home mission and educational work. The Rev. G. H. Sims, pastor of the Union Baptist church, New York city, is the president, and the Rev. A. C. Matthews, pastor of the Beren Baptist church in Brooklyn, is the secretary. The woman's auxiliary and the Sunday school department will also be reresented by letter or delegates. Methodists Meet In Pittsburgh Oct. 8. The big religious gathering in Pittsburg for a week beginning on Monday, Oct. 8, will be the Pittsburgh conference of the A. M. E. church. The sessions of the conference will be held in Brown church, of which the Rev. C. J. Towell is pastor. Bishop Shafer is the presiding officer of the conference. BETHEL CHURCH'S PROGRESS Holds Financial Rally Which Results In Payment of Mortgage. Baltimore—Bethel church, in this city, of which the Rev. W. Sampson Brooks is pastor, recently held one of the largest and most successful finan- cial rallies in its history. The object of this extra effort was to pay off the second mortgage debt of the church, which amounted to $15,000. Under the leadership of the pastor the full amount has been raised. A large number of the white people in the city who are interested in the various religious movements among the colored people gave liberally. The amount which they contributed amount- REV. W. SAMPSON BROOKS, D. D. ed to $8,150, and from another group the sum of $285 was donated. the bill of 2383 was donated. The Rev. Mr. Brooks came to Bethel church from St. Louis in April of this year. Upon taking charge he at once held a conference with the entire membership of the church and organized it into groups covering all of the activities of the congregation. The result of this action has increased both the membership and finances of the church. Dr. Brooks' name has been mentioned for episcopal honors several times and it is believed that at the next general conference he will be elevated to this position. SUCCESS OF NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION Atlanta Meeting of Great Religious Body Attended by. Thousands. Atlanta, Ga.--The thirty-seventh annual session of the National Baptist convention, held in this city the early part of September, was attended by thousands of loyal Baptists and friends of the denomination from all sections of the country. The sessions each day were noted for some special feature of work for the upbuild of the convention in fact, it was a real triumphant gathering of Baptist leaders and worker under the leadership of its resourceful and energetic president, Dr. E. P. Jones. Among the many substantial results of the meeting were the raising of $5,000 for foreign mission work, $15,000 in cash and subscriptions for educational purposes and the adoption of a most thoughtful and timely set of resolutions, in which plans were outlined for denominational and racial advancement. Georgia is among the banner states to enroll its membership solidly for the future extension of religious thought and culture under the leadership of the convention. The purchase of Boscobel college, a $100,000 site, with buildings and grounds, by the educational board for a theological seminary to be located at Nashville, Teen, and the re-establishment of the foreign mission board at Louisville, Ky., were among other fine features of work which included the fostering of an educational board at Nashville, Teen. The 101st session of the convention will be held at Little Rock, Ark., beginning Sept. 4. The election of officers resulted as follows: OUR SOLDIERS NEARLY NAKED THEY ARE VOLUNTEERS, TOO; NOT DRAFTED MEN—THIS "OVERSIGHT" AN OUTRAGE —HOWELL AND BUCKLEY TO THE RESCUE! Dayton, O. Sept. 27, 1917. Hon. Warren G. Harding, United States Senator, Washington, D. C. M. Drye Senator: I am sending my letter to the copy of the Dayton Daily News of September 27th, and in your attention to a letter therein published on the first page, written and signed by Mr. Frank W. Howell, the present United States Commissioner in this city as well as Secretary of the Dayton Defense League, a citizen of character whose residence is within sight of the conditions mentioned therein. You will note that these colored soldiers are enlisted volunteers and not trained men, and are now encamped in the grounds of the National Military Home near here; they joined the colored militia company in Dayton in good faith and entered the Federal army through that avenue; the article says that "these men have received no clothes of any kind; they are now without underwear and are compelled to wear coats next to their bare skin; a large uniform with a tight shirt and are compelled to drill six to eight hours per day, with shoes having absolutely to soles on them; their feet are sore, and their bodies are cold, etc." Yet they entered the Federal army way last June. You will note that this letter of the sindhearted Mr. Howell ends up with an appeal to citizens to "SEND $10" to the Defense League in order that this private organization may furnish clothes and shoes to United States troops, who were mustered in last June, is it possible we have come to that appropriated? If this condition mentioned by the United States Commissioner obtains, then truly have these colored troops been forgotten by the Federal Government. I trust you will bring it to the attention of the United States Senate with appropriate remarks, or at least have the letter of United States Commissioner Howell appearing in the Daily News to be printed in the Congressional Record, that this condition may be corrected. If these colored troops have no influential friends to get them simple justice, then the Senator from Ohio should step into the breach; his duty is clear. I remain, with all good wishes, Conditions under which members of Company C, Ninth Ohio Battalion, are living in their camp at the National Military Home near here (Dayton), it's understood, are far from what it should be expected, are far from what it should be expected, are far from the federal service many weeks. While the camp is well located, it is apparent that many of the MAJOR GEO. W. PRIOLEAU 11 "The Old Reliable" Gazette, His Promotion, The 25th Infantry and Col. Charles Young. Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, H. T. Sept. 13, 1917. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O., U. S. A. My Dear Mr. Smith: I have not been a subscriber to The Gazette since 1900, but not a year since then have you failed to send me copies of The Col Charles Young Gazette. The last sent me, July 28, Aug. 18, and 25, have given me information that I could not get from any other paper. You are still keeping up the fight for the _right_; some defeats you have had, but they, only spurred you on for greater and more enduring battles. And now that you are determined that I shall not lose track of the doings of the "Buckeye State," and the state's and race's great champion (The Gazette), find enclosed cash for $150 for your help. It might be of interest to you, and the many friends and acquaintances of mine in Ohio, to know that for exceptional efficiency I have been promoted to the grade of major, (Aug. 9, 1917). It was earned by devoting twenty-two SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IS NEARLY NAKED June and No Money Clothes! ERS, TOO; NOT DRAFTED RSIGHT" AN OUTRAGE AND BUCKLEY TO RESCUE! men, who in good faith volunteered and enlisted in the organization at the time recruiting was being carried on, when the company was a part of the Ohio National Guard, have not fared as well in many details as they should, by a good deal. Friends in this city, (Dayton), after investigation, have decided to ask that some action be taken at once, that these men be provided for in some way, and in this connection a communication from Frank W. Howell, secretary of the Dayton Defense League speaks for itself. "There has been a new enthusiasm displayed by the good people of Dayton concerning the welfare of the soldiers, that I thought it a splendid opportunity to mention the fact that out at the Soldiers' Home there is now encamped about two hundred federal colored troops, whose present condition is such that something must be done at once. These boys are all Dayton boys, and all volunteers in the service. They are enthusiastic and ready at any time to serve and be involved in their work in France. They have been in the federal service since June, and have not received any pay since their entrance into the service. They have not only received no pay since June, but they have received no clothes of any kind; they are without underwear and are compelled to wear their coats next to their bare skin; a large number are without shoes and are compelled to march and all are compelled to wear a day sometimes waking fifteen to eighteen miles a day with shoes having absolutely no soles on them; and yet they do not complain. The Defense League has supplied them with many necessary things, but this organization will not be able to meet their needs without some assistance. The federal government seems to have forgotten these boys temporarily at leasenight, and they have shown no interest, if they will investigate as I have done, will come to their assistance at once. The colored soldier is as good a fighter as any class of soldiers in the army; they have shown it in the past and they will show it in the future. They should receive the same treatment as other volunteer soldiers, and this has not been done. If the people desire to perform a service that will be appreciated by not only these patriotic soldiers but also those of the $10 to Charles W. Sligel, cashier Merchants' National Bank, and become a member of the Dayton Defense League, and we will guarantee that every cent you contribute will be used. not for luxuries, but for necessities which the federal government is unable at this time to supply to its soldiers. "Respectfully, "FRANK W. HOWELL, "Secretary." years of hard service to the government. Many of these years have been pretty strenuous; work-done, sacrifices made with no hope other than my monthly pay; but there were those higher up that noted and only waited to give that reward for meritorious service. In reference to this regiment, the 25th Infantry, we have collected for charitable purposes, in the past twelve months, nearly $3,200, and $325 of the amount was sent to the N. A. C. P. and the East St. Louis refugees. In passing me say this, I received a letter from Col. Chas. Young, written at Letterman General Hospital, Presidio, San Francisco, Cal. July 10, 1917, expressing the hope that by the time I should be in receipt of his letter that he would get his colonelcy and be back to work. He said, "it matters not where, so its work. I want a regiment of any 'own'. Own means black from top to bottom. The Navy will fight under his own, which I claim," etc. Col. Young is the most loyal Negro to his government and the race that I have ever known or seen. Let him tell you of his Haytian, African and Mexican experiences and you will see all through it loyalty and sacrifice for country and race. The motto of his alma mater, West Point Military Academy, "DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY," was so inculcated in him that when his government assigned those dangerous tasks and duties to him, he forgot set and family, the ordinary friends and the entreaties of loved ones and exposed himself to danger and death in Haytian, Africa and Mexico for the honor of his country and government, and that his race may be benefited. Had he been permitted to carry out the plans of the governor of Ohio (the organization of a regiment of dismounted cavalrymen) his dream would have been realized; and what? It is for those who sat in council with him to answer, and say why his dream was not realized and why Ohio's black regiment will not smell the powder of the battle fields of Europe.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6 "Old King Coal is a merry old soul!" Everybody has cause for merriment three days save that poor devil known as Mr. Ultimate Consumer. A copy of any one of the last three issues of The Gazette will explain to your white friends why our people have been leaving the south and coming north. "This war," says Secretary of War Baker, "will last until we win it." True. It also starts out like it was going to last. Had we been prepared and ready —but as Rudyard Kipling says: "That is another story." All of our readers who use natural gas will find it to their interest to read carefully the statement of the East Ohio Gas. Co. published elsewhere in The Gazette. It is really important that you do so. The New York Age asks, "Where are the rich editors?"—meaning Afro-Americans, of course. The only one we know of is Editor DuBois, the $3600-a-year local conference of Editor Fred R. Moore of the Age. How about it, brother? If Col. Charles Young had not been retired WHEN HE WAS, it would be Brigadier General Charles Young now. This fact doubtless explains his being retired. Let us instill upon his being placed on the active list and given command of our troops. Upon being presented with a gold guill, at Kansas, City and being told that the pen was mighter than the sword, Golotel Roosevelt said: "But I would rather have a sword. This is a very exclusive war as far as I am concerned. I was blackballed by the committee on admission." Not until many of the boys of Co. C. Ninth Ohio Battalion, in camp near Dayton, were practically barefooted and most of them without underclothes (last week Thursday) did Dayton people awaken to the fact that our southern-democratic-controlled government at Washington, D. C., had "forgotten" our soldier boys of Co. C. Lord have mercy on some people. It seems that there is nothing that can be done to insult and hurt our patriotism and loyalty that is being overlooked by some people, these days. Our cup is certainly full to overflowing. THE JOB TOO BIG FOR DuBOIS Prof. Wm. Pickens' statement, published elsewhere in The Gazette, will remind our readers of the several indictments in recent years, this paper has brought against Prof. "Alphabetical" DuBois, the $300-a year editor of "The Crisis," and his organization, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, for their failure to bring suit in the U. S. Supreme Court to test the "constitutionality" of "jim crow" car and disfranchisement laws in the south. As far as the talking and writing part of leadership is concerned, DuBois measures up fairly well, but when it comes to the "doing" part along most important lines, like the one referred to above, he is an object failure. The N. A. A. C. P. would be the great power for good along civil rights lines it could be. If properly directed. It needs a real leader, one who would make an able assistant of DuBois, a $1,000 or $1,500 a year man at best. RESPOND TO THIS APPEAL We call the attention of our readers, particularly to Lord Devenport's letter to the Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, published elsewhere in The Gazette. It is an appeal that WE CANNOT AFORD TO FAIL TO RESPOND TO; so The Gazette has done its "bit" promptly by forwarding a check for five dollars to our long-time friend, and "Ohio boy," Mr. Anderson. It is quite enough for us to know that the Seasman's hospital at Greenwich, England, has cared for and still continues to care for search of our race, country-men who sought and seek relief in it from suffering when ill and friendless in a strange country. Pride in the standing of the race in the estimation of such splendid foreigners as Lord Devenport and his associates, as well as our care for our good name and standing with the best of our own country, dictates that our response to this appeal be generously representative of an appreciative people. Be prompt and send whatever you can, if only one dollar, to the Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, 156 West. 132nd St., New York City, and he will acknowledge its receipt and forward the same to Lord Devenport for the hospital. DOINGS OF THE RACE Isaac Bailey has been re-elected a justice of the peace in Atlantic City, N. J. An Afro-American hospital corps left Pt. Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 23, for France. The U. S. Supreme Court has decided that it is impossible to "make lynch-ing a federal crime." Suits for $2,400 as a result of the recent riot and massacre in E.

Investigation of the East St. Louis riots and massacre by the newly appointed Congressional Investigating Committee began, Monday. For the fourth time Alex and Amanda Wade have welcomed twins into their family. He is a tenant farmer on the Stubbs estate in Ouachita parish, La. Down in Houston, Texas, are some elevators in public buildings labelled, "Negroes and Dogs Not Allowed." American classification. -- Nashville (Tempe) Charity. Hali is now under the complete domination of the United States. This black republic is experiencing American military rule after having enjoyed independence for 113 years. Dr. Reverdy M. Hall of Baltimore, Md., who died recently, left an estate valued at $100,000. The widow is to receive an annuity of $1200. If she marries again, one third of the estate is to be given her. The children get the rest. The promise of Mr. Jewett, Republican mayoral candidate, to completely "Jim Crow" the city hospital by the addition of Colored doctors and nurses in the "Jim Crow" section, has brought forth a storm of protests and great dissatisfaction—Indianapolis (Ind.) Recorder. The work of forming the first regiment of Afro-American drafted men has been started. This regiment, to consist of 3,000 men, will be a part of the Seventy-seventh Division of the new National Army and will be trained at Camp Upton, L. I., N. Y., under Colonel James A. Moss. According to testimony of those who have come in contact with southern white soldiers, backed up by the news columns of such papers as the Macon, (Ga.) Telegraph, a certain class of them is not only a monee to the Afro-American but to the girlhood and womanhood of both races wherever encountered. Our registered nurses throughout the country are in receipt of information from Red Cross headquarters at Washington, D.C. that a government base hospital will be established at Pt. Moines, Ia., in connection with the training camp. About 150 nurses will be selected for service, fifty being assigned to immediate duty and 100 held in reserve. The New York Age, the Boston Guardian, The Cleveland, (Ohio) Gazette and the Chicago Defender and Broadace are situated strategically. Consequently, when they speak now of race grievances the members of congress in those states where elections will be held next year will listen, giving strict attention to their utterances and concede to them a square deal—Houston (Tex.) Freeman. Attorneys E. A. Johnson and J. C. Thomas, Jr., representing the best intellectual and business types of the race, will be the party as candidates for the Assembly and Aldermann Board, respectively, in the Harlem district. It is said to be the first time the party has ever designated Afro-Americans as candidates for elective offices in New York city. Five hundred Afro-American laborers of the American Federation of Labor who have been working at the Atlantic Coast Line ships, Rocky Mount, N. C., but recently walked out in a body because the company gave away per cent of the profits they made, and them are still insisting that the railroad company must consider them as entitled to the increase of wages ordered by the government to all railroad employees. For years this old question of whether "negró" or "colored" should be used by and for the race has been debated. And the race is still divided. Why, we can not see. Booker T. Washington used "negró" Dr. D'Bois has adopted R and a few leading race papers叩ing it but the feel remains the word wrong in its painful distinctions, and such a man can not dignify it. Here we have a few common sense applications: If "negró" is all right, then "negress" is an excellent word, etc.—Louisville (Ky) News. About 75,000 Afro-Americans were selected in the first draft, and none of them have as yet been ordered into camp because the War Department does not know what to do with them. There is an element in the Government that is opposed to these men being trained in the Army and with white blood. This feeling prompted by prejudice. They are opposed to these men being trained alone; this feeling they pretend is prompted by fear. If they don't take these Afro-Americans and give them the right to bear arms and fight as equal citizens, they have got to send to the trenches, perhaps to die, a white man for each one they refuse. Too bad, isn't it? THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, OCTOBER 6, 1917 A NOBLEMAN SEEKS AID FOR A HOSPITAL Which Afro-Americans Should Willingly and Gladly Help to Furnu 41 Grosvenor Place, S. W. London, England, August 25, 1917. Hon. Chas, W. Anderson, 156 W. 132nd St. New York City, U. S. A. My Dear Mr. Anderson: I am sending this letter to a list of twenty-five of my warm American friends, upon which list your name holds a very high place requesting them to assist me in a most worthy cause. I have been selected as chairman of a Special Appeal Committee consisting of the Duke of Sutherland, Lord Ivers- lyde, Lord Inlchland, Sir Kenneth Anderson, Earl Brassley, Sir Arthur Cary- Wright, Sir George Dashwood, Sir W. H. Lever, Sir Dyce Buckworth, Lord Pirrie, Lord Duckworth, Sir William Bennett, Lord Southwark, Col. Sir Robert Williams and others, to raise funds for the Seanam's Hospital at Greenwich. For nearly one hundred years this hospital has cared for sea- Hen, Charles W. Anderson. men, and many of your race and countrymen have there found relief from suffering when ill and friendless in a strange country. Unfortunately our efforts are severely handicapped by lack of funds, and the stress of war has added to the difficulty, as well as the necessity of providing increased accommodations and more scientific equipment. Lifts, isolation wards, a modern electrical department and adequate nurses, quarters are essential parts of every institution of this kind, but they are still lacking at Greenwich. Our efforts to remedy this lamentable state of affairs have met with a generous response on this side of the Atlantic, as well as in other parts of the continent that they will be a no less ready desire to help in the United States, our last and greatest ally, where sympathy and generosity towards deserving causes have been so often manifested. Hoping you are still performing the high duties of Collector of Internal Finance, I am, Sir, Yours faithfully. DEVENPORT. Lord Deveport is of the finest types of the English mobility and a recognized power in the financial affairs of Great Britain. PROF. WM. PICKENS. Dean of Morgan College, Baltimore Md., Tells Why Our People Leave The South The cause is complex and many-angled, not simple and categorical. Perhaps the greatest element in all this causation is the "jim-crow" car. It is worse than lynching: lynching occasionally kills one man; the "jim-crow" car perpetually tortures ten thousand. I am writing on board a "jim-crow" car from Little Rock, Ark, toward St. Louis, Mo, a horrible night ride. The Colored women have one end of a smoker, separated from smoking white men by a partition that rises only part the way from the floor toward the ceiling of the car. All of the smoke and fumes, and some of the oats come over. Some of these Colored people have already spent two nights in the same car-end, coming all the way from the lower side of Texas. For them the name of the train must sound very much like irony: It is the "Sunshine Special." Just behind us is a chair car for white people where they can stretch out and rest with sanitary napkins under their heads. They have paid exactly the same "first-class" fares paid by these Colored passengers. But in the "jim-crow" car there are only straight-backed seats filled with the dust and grime of neglect. All of these Colored people are wishing and some of them giving audible expression to the wish, to reach Poplar Bluff, the first stop in Missouri, so that they can go back into that chair car and out of the squail and discomfort of this car-end. And some of these colored men are in the service of the United States, summoned from the far corners of Texas to Newport News, Va., to be trained to fight for democracy in Europe; and because they travel practically all of the way thru southern territory they must sit up for three nights and days without change of clothing, or a bit of warm food, certainly a good preparation for trench warfare. Then, "Why does the Negro leave the South?" Indeed! You would FEEL a large part of the answer if you could be on this train, in this "jim-crow" car, and share for one night the longing of a Negro from Arkansas, or any other part of the "line" that separates Dixie from the rest of creation! THIS MAN, WISE AND BRAVE An Afro-American Sailor's Experi- ence with a German U-Boat Liverpool, England—William Snell, of Jacksonville, Florida, the only American susivor of the British steamship, Belgian Prince, which was sunk on July 31, by a German submarine with the loss of 38 lives, has given the following details of his experiences: "A torpedo hit the engine room. A submarine then quickly came to the surface about 200 yards away and fired at our wireless apparatus. We left the Belgian Prince in three boats and had gotten fifty yards from the ship when the submarine came alongside and ask-for our captain, who was taken aboard and inside the U-boat. The members of the crew were ordered to hold up their hands and the German asked if there were any gunners among us. Although there were two we said No. The Germans next asked if we had any pocket arms. We were then ordered to the deck of the submarine, where we were told by the commander to remove our life belts and to lie on the deck. This we did. Then the commander went into the boats, the oars into the sea and had his men remove the provisions. After that the plugs were taken out of holes in the boats which were then cast adrift. The submarine went to the northeast for twelve miles, the commander taking the life belts to the top of the coming tower and throwing them overboard. I hid mine under a raincoat and as the submarine began to submerge I tied it around my neck and jumped into the sea. The rest of the crew stayed on deck until they were swept off by the sea as the boat dived. " Snell has returned to America. HOW WHITE RAPISTS ARE TREAT- ED IN THE SOUTH Raleigh, N. C.-Renben Bailey, (white), who was arrested several weeks ago charged with breaking into an Afro-American farmer's house and criminally assaulting his wife, in the presence of her children, was tried in the Superior Court week before last. He was allowed to plead guilty of forely entering the house and the court accepted his plea, saying: "Let the prisoner pav the colored woman $25 and cost of court, and on give a $100 bond for good behavior until the September term of court." Good Lord! WILL TRAIN IN 16 CAMPS Secretary of War Bunker Again Declides Not to Separate Our Washington, D. C.—With plenty of room available at the National army cantonments, due to the large number of men to be withdrawn to fill up the national guard and other branches, the war department has again modified its plans for training our troops of the National army forces. It is now the purpose, Secretary Baker said, Monday, to train a complete unit of our soldiers at each of the sixteen cantonments instead of training them only at cantonments to which a considerable number report. The size of the unit will depend upon the number of drafted Afro-Americans from the divisional area which supplies each cantonment, but where there is a large surplus men will be sent to posts with smaller numbers for consolidation with the training units there. The first of our drafted troops will be mobilized under the call of Oct. 3. The number to be taken from each division will not be uniform and the allotment has not been announced. A. M. F.

You remember how eagerly you turned the pages to see where the last arrow struck or for what Aladdin would wish next or what new adventure the pages on "Sindbad the Sailor" would unfold.

Calls Apparent Day and Night Let us imagine that we can sk on this rug today. Down we go through the vicissitudes of time—by the aeroplanes, the automobiles, the electric cars, the locomotives, the sailboat, the tiny raft, over the desert where the only means of transportation is the camel and into the valley of the Nile. Here we meet with a wonderful civilization. The people are building spacious pyramids and obelisks to their kings. We pass through the avenue of splinaces and into the temple of Isis. What does it all mean? They are trying to picture their religious beliefs. Should we go to Babylon we might see Baal. If we travel across to India we would encounter the disgusting and cruel practices in connection with the worship of Buddha. In Greece we would see wonderful temples, the most beautiful ever conceived, to Jupiter, Minerva and the other gods and goddesses around Mount Olympus. The sharp eyed Mongolian would be building his pagodas to Confucius. In these respective countries the people are perishing over the Talmud, the Book of the Dead and other sacred books. But if we visit the valley of the Jordan in the years soon after 30 A. D. we might see the martyred Stephen being stoned, the impetuous Peter crucified, with his body inverted, and over in Rome the saluted Paul bound in prison, while faithful Christians are fed to the lions in the arena, watched by heathen spectators, who gaze with delight on the dreadful scene. However, despite the loud cries of the audience we hear muttered from the lips of these vultures words from a grand old book the teachings of which have outlived all others. It is none other than the Bible. What is there within the covers of this time honored book that has inspired men to plead for it, fight for it, die for it? Why all this display today? What is the significance of it all to you? My answer is, here you will find the source of all knowledge. This is the popular, non-intoxicating leverage that is good in every way.

Leisy Cleveland "OLD SIGNS DO NOT DECEIVE" Many people, especially the young, imagine that the Bible is dry. Yet the Bible formed the basis of the education of such men as Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. If it is so fruitful that its teachings pursued will bring one fame would it not be wise for us to give it an important place among our books of learning? If I should ask you for the theme of "Evangelion" and about the characters portrayed therein you would not hesitate to tell me. But if I should ask you for even a general statement regarding many of the books and characters of the Bible perhaps you would hesitate. They stand for Merit and Reputation.

Knowing that a thought precedes every act and that pure thoughts will lead to similar acts, Paul says, "Have ye then that mind within you which was in Christ Jesus." Studying the mind of Christ, we find that it was broad—"Go ye into all the world." It was impartial—"Suffer the little children to come unto me." "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars and to God the things that are Gods." It was humble—"The servant is not greater than his lord, neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him." And so we could continue to find many other attributes that we might apply to his mind which led him to similar acts. Take the words of Christ, "By their fruits ye shall know them." This truth is the argument that physicians use to diagnose diseases. They know that certain diseases are surely the results of certain acts and that vice versa certain acts will produce certain diseases. Thus general good health means a healthy body just as good fruit means it comes from a healthy tree. So we have all these arguments in favor of exterminating the fly or preventing the spread of infantile paralysis and the like. You see, the Bible is not at all, behind the times.

Brown, chaplain; Mrs. E. Lee, treas.; Mrs. A. Henderson, see. Mrs. Crawford of Blaine Ave., was hostess, Tuesday. W. G. Decumbe, city finance attorney, says he will file suit against "Starlight" Boyl to collect bond for forfeitures accrued in Muny court. DeCumbe also expects to file suits against others who failed to pay forfeitures by Sept. 26, "Politics won't enter into it. We want the money," says DeCumbe. Miss Madeline Jones, organist of Antioch Baptist church, has gone to Knoxville, Term, to enter college. Miss Bessie Cook who has closed a successful season with the Parker Brothers players at the Hollenden hotel, succeeds Miss Jones as organist of the church. Among the speakers at the meeting of the Hugh F. Taylor campaign committee in the assembly room, Hollendent Hotel, last week Friday evening, were: Milan Gallagher, Esq., Frank G. Carpenter, Esq., the editor of The Gazette, Editor Geo. Schneider of the American Volksbalt, Capt. Gould, Cornelius Maloney, Esq., and others. There were about 200 in attendance. A splendid meeting. Do not fail to attend Mine. Frances E. Motin's sacred dramatic recital at Anticho Baptist church, Central Ave. and E. 24th St. Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. She is a reader and character impersonator of exceptional ability, a teacher of years' experience and founder of the Motin School of Expression at St. Louis, Mo. Madam Motin will be assisted by some of our best local talent. Thus a rare treat is in store for all who attend Anticho church, Sunday afternoon. Miss Grace Lealtad, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. A. H. Lealtad, has been appointed a teacher in the Hill school, St. Paul, Minn., and began her duties, teaching the sixth grade, last week Thursday. Miss Lealtad is a native of Chicago and a graduate of Mrs. Imes Deseret School, a former local public school teacher, is also a native of this city. So the young lady is following closely in "her mother's footsteps" along one line, at least. She is very promising indeed and a credit to her parents and the race. The new pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, Rev. O. W. Childers, is a positive acquisition to our population of the city. He comes here from Cadiz where he has just finished the erection of a new church for our people of that city. Rev. and Mrs. Childers will give St. James congregation such assistance and guidance as she has never before had and The Gazette congratulates all concerned on their good fortune. Sevental weeks ago, Mrs. J. C. Napier of Nashville, treasurer of our National Federation of Women's clubs, wrote to Cleveland making inquiry as to the whereabouts of the $75 raised as a result of the one-hundred-women's benefit entertainment at the First. M. E. church, the past spring, for the purpose of helping pity the debt on the Frederick Douglass home at Anacostia, D. C. That $75-reminds us of the $75 or $100 remand of the "Birth of a Nation" fund which still seems to be more or less of a "home of contention." The Gascette wishes to call the attention of our local women's organizations to the fact that "nigger brown" cloth is being called for at Sigel's store, opposite the C. A. C. Euclid Ave. Also, that it is said that a Miss Shaw, principal of Sibley school, Carnegie Ave. and E. 53th St. was visited by a Plain Dealer reporter who called to see her last week Friday afternoon, relative to "a proposed colored school." Our women had better call at Sigel's and see Miss Shaw, at once, and head off both of these insulting things. Watt Terry, age 34, of Brocton, Muss., a man, has secured count of 20,000,000 of property in N.Y. city Philip A. Payton, (deceased) and associates rented to our people. His first public statement after cutting down rents generally, contained the following: "If the criticism in the past has been that our people pay more than white people for the same apartments, I am going to show the colored renting public that I can meet their demands—reduce their rents so that they do not pay more, if as much as former white tenants." Good for Terry! Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Jones of Akron, old friends of the editor, who were in the city, the first of the week, called on The Goatette, Tuesday. They attended the crystal wedding anniversary of his brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Jones, 3529 Central Ave. Monday evening. It proved a delightful social function. Those in the receiving line with Mr. and Mrs. Jones were: Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Robinson of Columbus, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones of Akron. The decorations included wild flowers, ferns and other plants, and like the center piece of dahlias, were beautiful. Many of the presents were useful as well as valuable and ornamental. The Maschke-Davis administration's captain (of color), "Harry" is a good boy "Starlight" Boyd, and his first lieutenant, Tom Fleming, and second lieutenant, Charlie Crawford, held a meeting at Tom's house in E. 40th St, last week Tuesday evening, for the purpose of securing a list (with addresses) of our voters in ward 11. This meeting was adjourned to meet at Tom's office over Bass & Turk's saloon, cor. of E. 30th St. and Central Ave., cor. of this week. Evening of this week, both lieutenants had admonished to every effort to keep the fact that these meetings were being held, from the editor of The Gazette. The list, with addresses, was secured, so it was reported, at Tuesday evening's gathering. Supporting the editor of The Gazette's statements before the recent Councilmanic investigation committee, the Hugh F. Taylor campaign and executive committees have called upon the Federated churches of Cleveland to permit their committee to appear before that organization and prove that vice conditions in this city are worse by far than ever before in its history. That the Central Ave. district has been "rotten to the core," until the marked improvement made in the last two weeks by Chief of Police Rowe and his men, there can be no question and yet the church federation referred to affected to believe that such was not the case and so wrote in a letter, several weeks ago, to Mayor "Maschke" Davis. That is why the Taylor committees are aiter it. GOOD! Additional registration days will be Oct. 11, 19 and 20. On Nov. 5 persons who have been absent from the city on the four regular days will be registered. Transfers and removals will also be received and issued on that day. Civil service commissioners, Wednesday, appealed to Cleveland men to take examination for appointment to the police and fire departments. Council ordinance authorizes addition of 300 policemen, Jan. 1, Wednesday there were 60 additional vacancies. Safer Sprosty said most of the 60 men have been lost thus military service and an unusual number of resignations. Here is a glorious opportunity for many of der young men. We are confronted with a housing problem which is likely to become serious. The inflow of thousands of laborers to districts already congested constitutes a civic problem. A large percentage of these new citizens are southern Negroes. Under proper leadership these people will become valued members of society. The colored man is generally a happy, care free, loyal, individual. Without being patronizing, we should help him to help himself.—Wm. Sifinchomb, democratic candidate for mayor. The meteoric "candidacy" in ward 11 of Roger Dillard for the City Council has left his quandam friends in a state of mind that will in all probability kill any political ambitions he may harbor in the future in this city. After securing a sufficient number of signers to his petitions to more than insure his entry into the race, he will withdraw Monday, leaving said friends "stranded, high and dry," to their disenfiture. Ask Sam Woods and Charley Sutton about this. Roger's withdrawal, without consulting these backers, it is said, will prove helpful only to Tom Fleming's candidacy for re-election, for his friends you know, were opposed to Fleming and the Mascie-Davis combine. If necessary, they will make vastly more interesting statement in our next issue: anent Roger's abhorrific political "fly." You should take PURO HERBS, the great blood purifier and system enhancer.

COX Cox Dry Cleaning Company The Clothing Hospital Repairing, Pressing, Cleaning, Etc. on short order: Suits Pressed, 30 Cents 2738 Central Avenue Cleveland, Ohio Time Honored Order Starts Fund to Combat Hostile Legislation. Detroit, Mich.—With an eventful session the nineteenth annual meeting of the imperial council of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Nobles, Order of the Mystic Shrine, met here recently. The Daughters of Isis, the female auxiliary, also met. The next session will be held in Kansas City, Mo. Among the interesting features of the session were the adoption of a set of resolutions setting forth the loyalty of the colored people of this country, the election of officers for the ensuing year, the creation of a fund to fight the hostile litigation instituted by white Mystic Shriners of Georgia and the adoption of a plan for the rotation of officers and the annual address of retiring Imperial Potentate Clarence R. Dunlop. The committee on patriotic addresses to the country presented the following resolution, which was adopted unanimously by the meeting amid enthusiastic cheers: We, your committee on patriotic address to the country, take pleasure in saying that we most sincerely acknowledge the subject given the committee for consideration. We are sensible of the fact that our race occupies a peculiar and important position in the body politic of this great composite nationality. The No. 1 airline airline stand as the important unit in the composite this great nation. We therefore submit a few thoughts that we have hastily considered during the short time we have had before us. We believe that the following paragraph from the imperial politics, which forcefully elicits the standing of great Negro in America acquainted with the history of his own people, to wit: Knowing but one flag and one country and one God, our race which has from the start subjected to the Californian never been subjected to the Nazism, we steps forth to its duty in assisting the fight for democracy of the world and will ever carry its burdens without a murmur and will render unto God the things God's will until the triumphant end shall come. This forcible statement stands as an impregnable barrier against the vile criticisms hurled against the American Negro by our enemies. The constitutional rights of the American Negro have been being denied in almost every part of the United States, notwithstanding their unwerving devotion and loyalty to their country, their flag and their God. We desire to go on record that the Norwegians have ready to put forth every possible effort to demon- A. JORDAN M. MORRIES, IMPERIAL POTENTATE. strate the fact that our loyalty cannot be questioned. Our constructive work for the uplift of all men and classes in America, irrespective of creed, color or religion, is essential. We notice with regret that the justifiable infux of a large number of the colored people from the southland to the northern states has aroused the prejudice and malignant passions of some so called immigrants in cities and towns to which our people have come. The ports that have been printed in the various newspapers of this country of riots and murders of defenseless women and children have been so appalling as to cause the blush of shame on the part of the law abiding citizen of the United States. Believing that all people who claim to be American citizens should enjoy the inalienable rights guaranteed by the constitution of the United States we unestablish condemnation of such deny any citizen the enjoyment of such constitutional rights. The fact that the Negro appears to be the bone of contention is without cause or reason. We appeal to the Negro in America to so deport himself that he be a cause to arouse enemies of the race to take action that would be detrimental to the interests of our people. We appeal to the representatives in congress, the ministers in the senate and members of all fraternal organizations to unite in giving to the colored citizen their loyal support in defense of their rights, and in doing so we will prove ourselves worthy of their confidence and support. In conclusion, as Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and great Masonic organization, individually and collectively, we pledge our undivided support in the maintenance of good government, square dealings and integrity, and in so doing put our trust in God. The election of officers for the Imperial Divan follows: Jordan M. Morris, Mineapolis, Minn., imperial potentate; Caesar R. Blake, Charlotte, N.C., deputy imperial potentate; R. E. Moore, Chicago, chief rabban; Samuel E. Franklin, Detroit, assistant rabban; Lerl Williams, New York, imperial recorder; Charles D. Freeman, Washington, imperial treasurer; J. Frank Hurley, Clarkshurst, W. Va., high priest and prophet; J. W. Barnes, Portsmouth, Va., first ceremonial master; Harry Knight, New York, second ceremonial master; E. D. Loving, Fort Worth, Tex., captain of the guard, and John H. Murphy, Jr., Baltimore, oriental guide. Did Not Know the Kutabaga. She was not acquainted with the Swedish turnip, known as rutabaga, sold by the street vendors in the Northwest. When she answered the doorbell and found a stalwart Swede repeating with rising inflection "Rutabaga" she replied sweetly: "No, sir; Lindhart. I am Mrs. Lindhart, and I do not know the family." Charming House Gown For the Fall M. New Hats Have Real Sideboards THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S FILM THIS quaint model, fashioned in flesh colored geogette crape and trimmed with rows of hemstitching done in black silk thread, is ideal for afternoon affairs at home. Doublerows of crop ball buttons trim the front, and the skirt panels are accordion plaited. Paris blouses recently imported for reproduction purposes were of lace and net over brilliantly colored silk foundations. One lovely model in this collection, which will be copied for American wear, was of black chantilly over bright green chiffon. Buttoned spats promise to be as popular as ever for fall, and most women are glad of this, for the spat is a very dainty item of dress when worn over a high heeled pump. The new spats fit beautifully and come in soft shades of gray and tan and in the new olive drait New Hats Have DARK hats are going to be popular this fall as a variation from the gay ones of summer time. Here we have a tall crowned black velvet, with a sweeping sideboard on the left side, attached by what resembles a military motif, a major's gold leaf. Silk bags are much in vogue, and one of the prettiest is a long pocket bag with a broad band of the same material continuing from the bag to form the part which is slung over the arm. This bag is in the shape of the old ring purse, but it is very big, and it is often Daily Average of Wind. Some builders of windmills estimate that a wind 16 miles an hour may be expected for eight hours per day on the average for every day in the year. This does not mean that such a wind can be relied upon every day in the year, but that the average wind all the year round would equal 16 miles an hour for eight hours every day THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, OCTOBER 6, 1917 which is fashionable because it is the "soldier color." Autumn boots are considerably lower of top. This is to save shoe leather for the troops. The new fall boots are long and slender of line, with French or military heels, and the tops are to be buttoned—in all boots to be worn with smart tailored suits or formal frocks. Semifitted sleeves are seen in some of the new evening wraps of chiffon velvet. Overalls for women continue in popularity. And it seems certain that after enjoying the comfort of these practical garments for gardening and other outdoor work and outdoor sports this summer they will be accepted for housework and other indoor activities. Overalls in attractive silk make charming lounging gowns. ANNA MAY. Real Sideboards made of some material to match the dress with which it is worn. Separate skirts for autumn are as interesting in design and fabric as the splendid assortment presented for summer wear. Soft skirts, crape meteors and satins will be used, and navy, black, prune and taupe are leading colors in these rich fabrics. An effective trimming for separate skirts of silk is chenille stitching, done to define narrow hems on the bins satin folds and in other trimming arrangements. ANNA MAY. Remarkable Tibetan Building. "The only building in Lhasa (Tibet) that is at all imposing is the Potala," writes Edmund Candler. "It is not a palace on a hill, but a hill—that is also a palace. Its massive walls, its terraces and bastions stretch upward from the plain to the crest as if the great bluff rock were merely a foundation stone planted there." To Natural Gas Users: The winter of 1916-1917 demonstrated that a continuous adequate supply of natural gas cannot be relied upon without risk of personal discomfort. The occasional inconvenience caused by the Gas Company's inability to obtain sufficient gas to meet all the demands made upon it was due to a combination of conditions beyond the control of the Company, and was not through any lack of diligence on its part. First-The severe winter weather and continuous low temperature. Second—Reduction in pressure and depletion of gas producing wells, caused by the continuous drain due to unusual demand. Third—Shortage of coal, and the consequent high prices as compared with the relatively low cost of gas, resulted in the coal heating appliances in thousands of homes being converted for the use of natural gas. Temporary interruption of service is a risk incurred by all gas companies. These interruptions result in great loss, and it follows that the company is as much interested in giving satisfactory service as the user of gas is in securing it. It must be borne in mind that cities relying exclusively on coal for heating during the past winter suffered inconveniences equal to, if not greater than, those depending upon gas. Periods of short duration may be expected next winter when all the requirements may not be met and temporary discomfort will be unavoidable unless the users of gas co-operate with the Company in its efforts to prevent recurrence of the shortage experienced last winter. The prudent gas user will provide at least a temporary supply of coal or other fuel as a precautionary measure. By so doing, much inconvenience and possible discomfort may be averted. Notwithstanding the unusual conditions due to scarcity of labor and the enormous increase in cost of material, the Company has made every effort to add to its supply, and has been fairly successful in obtaining added production of gas by drilling and by purchase. The new production, however, will not more than overcome the decline in old wells, so that we cannot safely predict that a greater amount of gas will be available for distribution next winter than was produced and delivered last year. Some misunderstanding seems to exist relative to gas furnished factories during the past winter. All gas supplied for industrial uses was discontinued except in the case of gas engines, where discontinuance of the supply would necessitate the shutting down of the factory and deprive many men of employment. This and injunction proceedings by a few large users were the only exceptions, otherwise gas was supplied for domestic purposes only. This year, in addition to the domestic requirements there may be a demand for gas for industrial purposes occasioned by the war, and a sacrifice of home comfort by gas users may be necessary rather than cause any interruption of the work for the proper supply of implements for the use of our soldiers. By the exercise of economy in the use of gas and other fuels, you will be contributing to their comfort and success. Gas users may rest assured that the Company will continue its efforts to meet the requirements of the coming winter, but we consider it eminently proper to give this timely warning and to suggest that homes be provided with supplemental or auxiliary appliances, available for the use of other fuels in case of emergency. Our experts will give you personal advice free of charge. We solicit your co-operation. The East Ohio Gas Company By M. B.

Atlanta, Ga. Dr. Jacobson said in a recent interview that 90 per cent of anemia comes from nervous breakdown which is caused by the infection by supply of necessary phosphorus in the nervous system that is lacking in the food you eat, and this can be quickly supplied by the injection of phosphorus in plate tablets after each meal, and at bed time. It will in many cases make a pale, scrawny face the picture of anemia in one or two weeks time.
