This firm originated the popular price of $15, no more no less, for suit or overcoat and built up a wonderful trade by giving most excellent values for the price. However, just now owing to the advance in price of woolens and labor the "No more, no less" is temporarily suspended—and "some more," "none less" substituted. They will soon add a uniform department and be in a position to save their customers money on uniforms. Remember the "Old Glasgow" at 319 Sixth avenue. REMEMBER Lud Strothers' Cafe 417 W.

WASHINGTON. A quiet man, he walked an untried path Beset with danger, darkness, and the wrath Of friend as well as foe. And there was much About him that forbade the closest touch. Mute as a sphinx, he hid his inmost thought; We only knew him as he lived and wrought. But how he lived, and what he wrought, and why. The watchful world now knows, who saw him die. A weary, worn-out soldier of a cross! Its bitter weight those only guess whose loss Means rest, at last to him. Ah, lowly Poor, For you he built; for you, the open door. He asked, nay, begged you for your company. That you might learn with him how to be free. How to be free indeed; and in God's time To free your brother. This is life sublime. Hehad a vision! Write it large and clear. He had a vision, than all else most dear. This was his one supreme beatitude. He saw and worked for that; and from the crude Unformed and helpless mass he saw again The winged vision live on Earth in men. How great the need none better knew than he. And so he dwelt in proud humility. —Rosa Hazard Hazel. Economy may be practiced constantly, but no one ever seems to become expert in it. HARTERS ALL BY BOOKS Writing Tablets, Picture Framing.

Davis of Keokuk, a distinguished member of the Western Baptist convention, after remaining over to do a few days' work in the interest of her paper, the Baptist Missionary, left for her home Wednesday morning. Miss Davis has the distinction of having traveled more than any member in attendance at the convention. For more than twelve years she has served as general field missionary of the National Baptist convention, the largest organization of Christian Negroes in the world, having the entire United States as a territory, and for two years serving in the state of Texas as the assistant superintendent of foreign missions of that state. Miss Davis is one of the organizers of the Western Baptist convention, was the first corresponding secretary and field organizer of its woman's auxiliary convention, and field missionary of the convention proper; in that capacity doing the work that three persons, namely, Prof. C. W. Rodgers, Mrs. W. A. Brown of this state and Mrs. Frasier of Kansas, are now employed to do. Miss Davis was one of the programed speakers and also the representative of the Missionary society of the First African Baptist church at Keokuk. She said in her talk to the convention that she felt highly gratified at the growth and progress of the work of her hand's planting, as she could witness it in the convention after her years of absence. Miss Davis is a brilliant lecturer of national reputation. She will return to the city in August to address a mammoth women's meeting at the Corinthian Baptist church. The movement is under the management of Mrs. J. B. Rush and Mrs. S. L. Birt. Watch for the announcement of the date. Giving Happiness.

The great White Sparrow services given last Sunday evening at Drake stadium, under the auspices of the Register-Tribune, our largest daily newspapers in Iowa, was the greatest and most enthusiastic demonstration ever held in Iowa, since more than 15,000 people filled the large stadium and thousands were compelled to sit on the grass on the side of the ground. The 1,200 colored cadets who are in training gave a fine exhibition drill. They stacked arms and about 300 from the various companies stacked their guns and marched out and sang several familiar songs, such as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." "Steal Away," "Shouting All Over God's Heaven" and "Tipperary." The latter made the hit of the evening. Just preceding this main program a military octette of fine singers, composed of T. J. Lancaster, J. E. Scott, Bush Hunter, A. S. Galpen, R. R. Penn, L. C. White, C. H. Thompson and L. G. Koger, sang some southern melodies composed by Negroes, which were fine. This drill exhibition of 1,200 soldiers without a break or an error was marvelous, considering only six weeks of hit of the evening. Just preceding this spectacle went away praising the colored soldiers. A New Newspaper "The Baptist Missionary" is the name of a new newspaper which has just made its appearance this month in Keokuk, Iowa, published by Miss Sidney J. Davis, a noted church worker and lecturer, having traveled extensively. The paper will deal with religious matters in general and especially relating to the great Baptist church. The Rystander welcomes this paper into the journalistic field and wishes for its success. BALLOU ADDRESSES TROOPS. Colonel Praises Their Work at the Stadium Review. Colonel Ballou in the course of a lecture to the men of the Ft. Des Moines officers' training camp at the Y. M. C. A. tent at the fort Wednesday night took occasion to compliment his students on their soldierly bearing at the stadium last Sunday. The fact that the men, most of whom were without military training until a few weeks ago, marched onto a strange field and carried out their orders without a break at any point, he felt constituted a performance worthy of the highest commendation. Colonel Ballou is particularly proud of the precision with which the men went through the manual of arms exercise. Speaking of the activities of the camp in general, the colonel expressed keen appreciation of the fine spirit thus far shown by the men in co-operating with him to make the camp a success. He earnestly bespoke a continuance of this attitude, and assured his hearers that if military discipline sometimes seemed unduly severe, it was necessary if worth while results were to be obtained. He further said that the war department at Washington had already heard of their progress and had decided that this training school was a success. While he has received much praise and good words, yet he does not take it to himself, for if you men did not co-operate with me and if you were not good quality and fine character I could not have done anything. How could I make a pocketbook out of a pig's ear. "By your fruits ye are known." THE BYSTANDER Attention During Cer 1012 Center Phone Red Street 1367 a weak _____ MORE RECRUITS AT THE FORT. Prospective Negro Medical Officers Arrive Today. Fifty colored physicians will arrive from points in the United States today to begin training at the school for medical officers to be opened by the war department at Fort Des Moines. The men will be trained for several months, and be formed into an officers' medical corps, to be attached to the colored troops that will be raised under the selective draft to go to France. It is probable, according to semi-official announcements, that more than a hundred doctors will take the training at the local camp. Instructors for the most part will be white professors of medicine and army officers in the medical corps of the regular army. Twenty-five soldiers, colored, members of the Ninth cavalry, arrived at the fort from the Philippines Tuesday to take up work preparatory to taking the examinations for commissions in the selective army. The men form a belated contingent of the regular army men who were assigned to the local camp when it was established. At the same time of their arrival about eighty of the men who had been in training had failed to make good and had been excused from camp duties. CHURCH DIRECTORY.

Are You One of Them? There are a great many people who would be very much benefited by taking Chamberlain's Tablets for a weak or disordered stomach. Are you one of them? Mrs. M. R. Searl, Baldwinsville, N. Y., relates her experience in the use of these tablets: "I had a bad spell with my stomach about six months ago, and was troubled for two or three weeks with gas and severe pains in the pit of my stomach. Our druggist advised me to take Chambarlain's Tablets. I took a bottle home and the first dose relieved me wonderfully, and I kept on taking them until I was cured." These tablets do not relieve pain, but after the pain has been relieved may prevent its recurrence. FREE STYLE BOOK HAIR To Colored Women We are the largest manufacturer of Colored Women's Hair.

After Thirty Years' Experience I Have Produced An Appliance for Men, Women and Children That Actually Cures Rupture. ```markdown ``` Baltimore, Md., July 26.—With $500,51 secured Sunday, Bethel A. M. E. church has raised $4,811 in the biggest financial rally ever pulled off by a local congregation. When reports are made this Sunday the sum is expected to have reached $5,000. The rally was planned by the Rev. Dr. W. Sampson, who has been pastor of the church since last April. As Dr. Brooks raised over $7,500 in one effort while pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church, St. Louis, the rally here created general interest. This interest was heightened by the fact that Bethel church has a debt approximating $75,000. Since Dr. Brooks has been here the attendance and collections at the church have increased threefold. For the purposes of the rally the workers were divided into three groups, called annual conferences, each of which was presided over by a "bishop." The reports of conferences and bishops follow: Thousand dollar conference, Bishop John Williams, $657.75; earthquake, Bishop Theodore White, $441.13; turncoat, Bishop A. N. White, $388.71; paupers', Bishop Edward F. Barnett, $542.20; nightingale, Bishop Daniel W.
