XXIV No.19
RECAPITULATION
1-For four long months we've toiled and drilled
From revelille to tap;
We've studied fourteen kinds of books
And made a score of maps.
2-We started off with I. D. R.
And Army regulations;
Disciplinary talks at all
The company formations
3-Then next they gave us F. S. R.
Field service book you know;
And then they gave us I. G. D.
Which sentry duties show.
4-And while engrossed with all these books
They showed their sympathy
By giving us another book
That's called topography.
5-Then next, problems in infantry
And sure we had our fill
In what you'd do and what you'd say
If you were Sergeant Hill.
6-Next, court-martial manual
Took nearly all our time,
From early morn till late at night,
Long past the hour of nine.
7-We next had Minor Tactics,
And, sketching and maps galore
Trench warfare with hand grenades,
Wigwag and semaphore
8-We had our share of practice march
O'er roads that were not shady
Carryiny strapped upon our backs,
Our litte papoose baby
9-Then when we finished our first term
We were asked not to leave;
But stay another month, that we
Another course receive
10We thank our God schedules are
over
Now we can rest a spell
We thank our God who gave us
strength
To do our task so well
11Many a battle have we fought
O'er lands that lay between
Des Moines toward Indianola,
Which place we have not seen
which has been by of cours

Ready-Made Pie Crust!
Ready-made Pie Crust!
Someone has invented a ready-made pie crust that will keep a year. By the evidences that have been encountered it might be judged that many ambitious cooks have been experimenting for a long time with this object in view. We can guess now where some of these new composition shoe soles originated.—Providence Bulletin.
Many Candles Made.
Though candles are not so generally used as they were before the days of mineral illuminating oils, gas and electricity, they still constitute an important article of manufacture. The candle is an ancient form of lighting. The word comes from the Latin word, "candere," which means to "glow."
Sour Stomach.
Eat slowly,mastache your food thoroughly, abstain from meat for a few days and in most cases the sour stomach will disappear. If it does not, take one of Chamberlain's Tablets immediately after supper. Red meats are most likely to cause sour stomach and you may find it best to cut them out.

1-For four long months we've toiled and drilled
From revelle to tap;
We've studied fourteen kinds of books
And made a score of maps.
2-We started off with I. D. R.
And Army regulations;
Disciplinary talks at all
The company formations
3-Then next they gave us F. S. R.
Field service book you know;
And then they gave us I. G. D.
Which sentry duties show.
4-And while engrossed with all these books
They showed their sympathy
By giving us another book
That's called topography.
5-Then next, problems in infantry
And sure we had our fill
In what you'd do and what you'd say
If you were Sergeant Hill.
6-Next, court-martial manual
Took nearly all our time,
From early morn till late at night,
Long past the hour of nine.
7-We next had Minor Tactics,
And, sketching and maps galore
Trench warfare with hand grenades,
Wigwag and semaphore
8-We had our share of practice march
O'er roads that were not shady
Carryiny strapped upon our backs,
Our litte papoose baby
9-Then when we finished our first term
We were asked not to leave;
But stay another month, that we
Another course receive
10We thank our God schedules are
over
Now we can rest a spell
We thank our God who gave us
strength
To do our task so well
11Many a battle have we fought
O'er lands that lay between
Des Moines toward Indianola,
Which place we have not seen
Saints which has been in of cours

Ready-Made Pie Crust!
Someone has invented a ready-made pie crust that will keep a year. By the evidences that have been encountered it might be judged that many ambitious cooks have been experimenting for a long time with this object in view. We can guess now where some of these new composition shoe soles originated.—Ividence Bulletin.
Many Candles Made.
Though candles are not so generally used as they were before the days of mineral illuminating oils, gas and electricity, they still constitute an important article of manufacture. The candle is an ancient form of lighting. The word comes from the Latin word, "candere," which means to "glow."
Sour Stomach.
Eat slowly,mastache your food thoroughly, abstain from meat for a few days, and in most cases the sour stomach will disappear. If it does not, take one of Chamberlain's Tablets immediately after supper. Red meats are most likely to cause sour stomach and you may find it best to cut them out.

Atlanta, Georgia.—Some parts of the south may be opposed to the Negro Soldier, but Atlanta located in the heart of the South, gave as warm and as cordial a welcome to the Negro draft men as it did to its white draft men when they began to arrive last week.

The Constitution says that these camp activities for colored men will vary in no way from those organized for the white selectmen. Every effort will be made to minimize friction and misunderstanding.

More Than Enough Is Too Much.
To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and not appetite control and take a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets and you will soon be all right again. For sale by all dealers.

Everyone Should Drink Glass Of Water To Clean Kidneys
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers You,
Drink Lots of Water.
When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your kidneys with water. If your kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract, keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with cold water. If your kidneys waste and stimulates them to their normal activity, the function of the kidneys is to fill the blood. In 24 hours they strain from your kidneys, and we can really understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water—you can't drink much; also get from your druggist about to take your kidneys before each meal and at bedtime with a glass of water for a few days and your kidneys wilt act fine. This famous remedy is made from water, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
Kidnico is inexpensive, cannot injure, make no mistake, insure on kidnico, which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidnows clean and active. Try this, also keep up thinking and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.

Altogther ther has been seventy-one young colored men of our city and state to join the regular army through the recruiting station. Three more have recently joined, namely, Earl I.

That the I. M. C. A. education classes will be filled to overflow is the prediction made by registral officials. Many men as they pass by in line were asked the amount education, and the almost invariar answer was "about two or three yr in public school."
When these men learned that cies in reading, writing and Engrammar would be established at the army Y. M. C. A. and would have opportunity to att men lingered to ask questions, si fying their intention to enroll at first opportunity. Illiteracy among southern Neg will place many northern colored in line for non-commissioned office positions in the regiments. The average northern Negro h had at least a common school education. Those who do not win out noncom jobs will undoubtedly be a pointed company clerks.
A shortage of clerks for the Nro organizations caused registrat officers to ask each man if he is to read and write. Fifty per cer the southern men have answer the negative, while 95 per cent northern Negroes have this plishment.

Hindu Ascetics Revived After Three Months Under Ground.
Returned Missionary Tells of Remarkable Performance of Religious Fanatics in India.
Rev. Dr. J. C. R. Ewing, missionary to India, who recently returned to the United States after 38 years in the country of the rujahs and mahatms, was discussing the miraculous things reported of the Hindu ascetics and admitted that he has been obliged to tell of some things which he has seen, but does not understand. Doctor Ewing said:
"It is certainly true that the Hindu magicians perform some tricks which our best sleight-of-hand performers are unable to approach. I have seen some things without being able to account for them, but I am, nevertheless, certain that they are all tricks. One of the best of these was an exhibition with cards. The performer placed a deck of cards upright in a glass. Then, taking another deck, he exposed a card and calling "come, come!" several times in his native language, the identical card which he was exhibiting rose out of the deck in the glass and stood where it could be seen by a large audience right on top of the deck, the performer at the same time exhibiting the card which he had selected. I believe that this was due to clever manipulation, though I suppose some persons would describe it to tel-
"I have seen the trick of making a plant grow from a seed before the eyes, and this, too, I believe, is the result of manipulation. A curtain is placed around the vessel and then removed, and the plant shown expanding and growing.
"Somewhat more difficult to be skeptical about, however, are the performances of the Hindu ascetics, and some of these are possibly the results of religious fanaticism. I know of the case of a man who lay 14 years on a bed of spikes. That is, he was said to have lain there 14 years. Eventually, of course, he died of his sufferings. I saw the man myself, and there was no reason to doubt the tales of the length of time of his torture.
"I know also that the stories of men going into a cataleptic state and being buried are true. The tongue is pulled out as far as it can be pulled and then turned back into the victim's throat and he becomes unconscious, all animation being apparently suspended. He is buried, and after remaining in the ground for a period as long as three months in some cases, he is dug up and reconstituted.

If there was any doubt lurking in the minds of the people that the Colored-American would play a conspicuous part in the great war, it was dispelled a few days ago when Secretary of War Baker, announced thru the official bulletin that Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee had been appointed as a special adviser to the war department in reference to part the colored citizen is playing in the conflict. It is generally conceded that the choice is wise, and the well known ability of Mr. Scott as the secretary of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and diplomacy in dealing wit hthe Librarian mission some years ago, is assurance of the fact that he will discharge his duties with credit to his race and honor to his country.

"The theory upon which these tortures are endured is that our separate existence is a mistaken notion and that only by asceticism is it possible to overcome the mistake and realize unity with all things. The teaching which has been evolved by the Hindu ascetics is very beautiful and very attractive for a certain type of mind, but it is after all nothing but a form of atheism. The Christian religion is spreading rapidly in India, especially among the lower classes and we have great difficulty in taking care of the converts. Among the higher classes it is spreading, too, although formal assent to it is slow on account of the severity of the caste astracism which follows conversion. The English government has the country well in hand and it would seem that the country is destined for a very rapid development both in Christianity and democracy.
Old Emperor Saw Clearly
Emperor of Saw Clearly.
In 1875, when France was recovering from the war of 1870-71, the German government, or at least the military party, it was said, was proposing to crush her once more. When Deland became satisfied as to the accuracy of the report, he published, on May 6, the story. "The effect produced by the revelation of the German plot was instantaneous, universal and profound. Both the Russian emperor and Queen Victoria appealed to the German emperor to stay his hand. The German emperor denied the truth of the queen's allegations, and a sentence in his letter is worth recalling today in the reign of his grandson: 'No one is more thoroughly convinced than the writer that he who provides a war in Europe will have the whole of public opinion against him, and will accordingly have no ally, no intricate bienveillant, but, rather, adversaries."
No Use for It.
Pat walked into the post office. After getting into the telephone box he called a wrong number. As there was no such number the switch attendant did not answer him. Pat shouted again, but received no answer.
The lady of the post office opened the door and told him to shout a little louder, which he did, but still no answer.
Again she said he would require to speak louder.
Pat got angry at this and turning to the lady said:
"Begorra, if I could shout any louder I wouldn't use your bloomin' oud telephone at all!"—Tit-Bits.
Harmless Vanity.
"I noticed your neighbor had a rather condescending air when addressing you."
"Oh, I don't mind that," replied Mr. Jobson. "I have to get downtown in the morning an hour earlier than he does and he has an idea that makes him my social superior."

The Young Mothres' Congress will meet Thursday, November 2nd, at 3 o'clock with Mrs. Stella Hyde. All members urged to be present.
Mrs. J. B. Thompson was a visitor of the Mirachiel New Art club, which met with Mrs. Hicks. A pleasant time was enjoyed by all. After the routine of business, dainty refreshments were served. Club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Sesco Johnson, 935 Fourteenth Street Place.
The Mary Church Terrill club met Monday evening with Miss Marie I. Bell. A very interesting meeting was held, after which the hostess served delicious refreshments. Club will meet next week with Miss Marl gart Roberts.
The Home Makers League will meet Tuesday p. m| with Mrs. S. G. Lewis, 1548 Des Moines street.
Dr. Jefferson reports that Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lewis of 1021 Shaw street are the happy parents of an eight-pound baby girl, born October 20.
We are indeed sorry to chronicle the death of an old resident of the city, Mr. Wm. Howard, who died at his home on Twelfht street Saturday noon. Funeral services were held at the house Monday afternoon, Rev. S. Baets officiating. Interment at Glendale. The family have the deepest sympathy of their many friends.
Mrs. Jane Brown, daughter, niece and son, have returned from a three weeks' visit from Booneville, Mo., where she went to see about her property, which she found in good condition. They enjoyed a very pleasant trip. Her son, Ishmael Franklin, attended the Charles summer school, which was the first time to attend school. The little tot made many friends among the children and teachers.
Altogether there has been seventy-one young colored men of our city and state to join the regular army through the recruiting station. Three more have recently joined, namely, Earl I. Robinson of 1214 Mulberry street, city; S. M. James, East High football star of 1916, and Tom Murphy, 1110 West Walnut street, also a high school graduate and formerly from Nashville, Teen. The Des Moines recruiting office has the record for excellent physical condition of the men enlisted.
The High School Girls' club met Sunday p.m. at the home of Mrs. Gus Nichols. Officers were elected and installed for the ensuing term. They are as follows: President, Harriet Alexander; vice president, Vassella Sears; secretary, Osceola Jones; assistant secretary, Edna Johnson; treasurer, Meredith Humbard; chairman of executive board, Orsa Bundy, Members of board, Beulah Walden and Georgia Williams. The club adjourned to meet next Sunday at the home of the president, Harriet Alexander, 3635 Cornell street.
If there was any doubt lurking in the minds of the people that the Colored-American would play a conspicuous part in the great war, it was dispelled a few days ago when Secretary of War Baker, announced thru the official bulletin that Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee had been appointed as a special adviser to the war department in reference to part the colored citizen is playing in the conflict. It is generally conceded that the choice is wise, and the well known ability of Mr. Scott as the secretary of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and diplomacy in dealing wit the Librarian mission some years ago, is assurance of the fact that he will discharge his duties with credit to his race and honor to his country.

Hindu Ascetics Revived After Three Months Under Ground.
Returned Missionary Tells of Remarkable Performance of Religious Fanatics in India.
Rev. Dr. J. C. R. Ewing, missionary to India, who recently returned to the United States after 38 years in the country of the rajahs and mahatmas, was discussing the miraculous things reported of the Hindu ascetics and admitted that he has been obliged to tell of some things which he has seen, but does not understand. Doctor Ewing said:
"It is certainly true that the Hindu magicians perform some tricks which our best sleight-of-hand performers are unable to approach. I have seen some things without being able to account for them, but I am, nevertheless, certain that they are all tricks. One of the best of these was an exhibition with cards. The performer placed a deck of cards upright in a glass. Then, taking another deck, he exposed a card and calling "come, come" several times in his native language, the identical card which he was exhibiting rose out of the deck in the glass and stood where it could be seen by a large audience right on top of the deck, the performer at the same time exhibiting the card which he had selected. I believe that this was due to clever manipulation, though I suppose some persons would ascribe it to telepathy.
"I have seen the trick of making a plant grow from a seed before the eyes, and this, too, I believe, is the result of manipulation. A curtain is placed around the vessel and then removed, and the plant shown expanding and growing.
"Somewhat more difficult to be skeptical about, however, are the performances of the Hindu ascetics, and some of these are possibly the results of religious fanaticism. I know of the case of a man who lay 14 years on a bed of spikes. That is, he was said to have lain there 14 years. Eventually, of course, he died of his sufferings. I saw the man myself, and there was no reason to doubt the tales of the length of time of his torture.
"I know also that the stories of men going into a catalytic state and being buried are true. The tongue is pulled out as far as it can be pulled and then turned back into the victim's throat and he becomes unconscious, all animation being apparently suspended. He is buried, and after remaining in the ground for a period as long as three months in some cases, he is dug up and resuscitated.
"The theory upon which these tortures are endured is that our separate existence is a mistaken notion and that only by asceticism is it possible to overcome the mistake and realize unity with all things. The teaching which has been evolved by the Hindu ascetics is very beautiful and very attractive for a certain type of mind, but it is after all nothing but a form of atheism. The Christian religion is spreading rapidly in India, especially among the lower classes and we have great difficulty in taking care of the converts. Among the higher classes it is spreading, too, although formal assent to it is slow on account of the severity of the caste ostracism which follows conversion. The English government has the country well in hand and it would seem that the country is destined for a very rapid development both in Christianity and democracy.
Old Emperor Saw Clearly
In 1875, when France was recovering from the war of 1870-71, the German government, or at least the military party, it was said, was proposing to crush her once more. When Delane became satisfied as to the accuracy of the report, he published, on May 6, the story. "The effect produced by the revelation of the German plot was instantaneous, universal and profound. Both the Russian emperor and Queen Victoria appealed to the German emperor to stay his hand. The German emperor denied the truth of the queen's allegations, and a sentence in his letter is worth recalling today in the reign of his grandson: 'No one is more thoroughly convinced than the writer that he who provokes a war in Europe will have the whole of public opinion against him, and will accordingly have no ally, no obstacle bienveillant, but, rather, adversaries."
No Use for It.
Pat walked into the post office. After getting into the telephone box he called a wrong number. As there was no such number the switch attendant did not answer him. Pat shouted again, but received no answer. The lady of the post office opened the door and told him to shout a little louder, which he did, but still no answer. Again she said he would require to speak louder. Pat got angry at this and turning to the lady said: "Begorra, if I could shout any louder I wouldn't use your bloomin' ould telephone at all!"—Tit-Bits.
Harmless Vanity.
"I noticed your neighbor had a rather condescending air when addressing you"
"Oh, I don't mind that," replied Mr. Jobson. "I have to get downtown in the morning an hour earlier than he does and he has an idea that makes him my social superior."
THE BYSTANDER
If your children are subject to croup get a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and when the attack comes on be careful to follow the plain printed directions. You will be surprised at the quick relief which it affords.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Most Rejliable.
After many years' experience in the use of it and other cough medicines, there are many who prefer Chamberlain's to any other. Mrs. A. C. Kirstein, Greenville, Ills., writes, "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been used in my mother's home and mine for years and we always found it a quick cure for colds and bronchial troubles. We find it to be the most reliable cough medicine we have used."
