I have been appointed by the state president of the Iowa Federation of Colored Women's Clubs to make a statistical report of the part taken by the colored people of the state in helping carry on the war. In order that the report be as accurate as possible and that no contributor to the war fund be overlooked, notices are being published in city and town newspapers throughout the state; also notices will be read from the pulpits of all colored churches in the state on January 27, 1918. We want the names of all colored people who have: 1. Purchased Liberty bonds. Number purchased. 2. Names of Red Cross members who have paid $1.00 membership fee. 3. Names of families 100 per cent efficient. 4. Red Cross stamps sold; money or material given for Red Cross work; knitting done, number and name of articles. No amount too small for this report. If you are a club member, report with your club. So many are not affiliated with any club and we hope in this way to reach every colored person in the state. If you have not contributed, do s onow. Let us be loyal to our own boys at the front. This report will be sent to the national council and also published through the press. Please respond at once. Yours for service, Martha F. White, 2nd Vice President Iowa State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, 706 West Boston Avenue, Indianola, Iowa. TO THE CHURCHES OF THE IOWA-NEBRASKA BAPTIST ASSOCIATION: Having been elected missionary for this association, it is our desire to go where we are most needed, and where we can accomplish the most good.

The above picture is that of Rev. H. E. King of Jersey City, N. J., who has recently come to our city to accept the call at Union Congregational church. Reverend Mr. King was born in Nashville, Tenn., where he received his common school education. Later he attended the far-famed Fisk university, from which he graduated. He then went to Hartford seminary at Hartford, Conn., where he graduated from the theological department in 1902. He then entered the ministry, going to North Carolina, where he remained for ten years. He then went to Memphis, Tenn., where he pastored four years, and last to Jersey City, N. J., until he was called here. He is a fine, highly cultured Christian gentleman, with ripe experience and broad conception of humanity. His wife will soon join him in his field of activity here.

If people past sixty years of age could be persuaded to go to bed as soon as they take cold and remain in bed for one or two days, they would recover much more quickly, especially if they take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. There would also be less danger of the cold being followed by any of the more serious diseases. In Other Days. Until a New Jersey man tried to corner the potato crop of his neighborhood the mosquito was considered the most undesirable predatory insect produced in that section of the country. Washington Star. Davidson February Sale In spite of the war and what it has meant to this company in the increased number of telephone messages to handle, the entitlement of so many of our trained men, the shortage of equipment, the scarcity of labor and the high cost of telephone materials— In spite of all these obstacles, we are meeting the needs of the public for telephone service in a remarkably successful way. Former Bell Telephone employees are helping operate the telephone systems along the American lines on the European battle front. These former Bell employees in the army signal corps are getting the same pay that they did at home. The difference between the wages formerly paid these telephone men and the amount the government pays them is being made up by the Bell System. Every month along that portion of the firing line in Europe occupied by each 500,000 men, enough telephone wire to stretch from New York to the Mississippi river and back again is destroyed.

He was caught—like a rat in a trap—with only one chance in a million of com- mission. He thought of that, and then asked, What does a soldier do in a life and death What does he do? What is of a life-and-death crisis? How does he feel? What does he do? What is the millionth chance that he takes to escape? While trembling and hot from the experiences they have gone through, over two hundred men—airmen, trench raiders, submarine commanders, grenade throwers—have told what they saw, heard and felt. To read these stories of personal adventure is to get an entirely new viewpoint of the war. Newspapers and magazines treat the war along bread, general stores, and theaters. But these stories tell you about the most daring, audacious, and brave individuals. They tell of exploits which even now you think are notorious national author in the history of literature could tell such stories. You can see them up. Yet each of these stories is true—and to startlingly as a wonder. They would thrill a man with blood as cold. The Review of Reviews has collected these two hundred and more stories in six handsome volumes, containing altogether 1500 pages, pro-fully illustrated. Every one of these stories is absolutely genuine as to the facts related; every one of them is told in the words of the person who is the hero or heroine of the exploit.

Don't kiss all over, as grasshopper walk. Don't sit down to it. Stand up. You needn't be anxious to get into a crowd. Two persons are plenty to corner and catch a kiss. Stand firm. It won't hurt you after you're used to it. Don't be in a hurry. Providence will give you strength for the ordeal. Take good aim—the lips meet, the eyes close, the heart opens, heaven itself opens before you, and the art of kissing is learned—Exchange. For Round Shoulders. An excellent exercise to straighten round shoulders—good for girls or women who have to sit a good deal—is performed by placing a thin stick or wand across the back and letting it run out through the bent elbows. "The arms are bent so that the hands rest on the chest. Keep the arms and shoulders pressed back and down and walk about the room in this way for five or ten minutes.

When a manufacturer or other producer of real wealth does a profitable business and turns his profits back into the business, he gives employment to men and creates more real wealth as he progresses year by year. He does more real good for his fellowmen than he would if he gave all his profits in charity, because it is better to make people self-supporting and independent than it is to give them something for nothing no matter how worthy the motives may be. Enforced Labor. "Providence has so ordered it that a state of rest and inaction, however it may flatter our indolence, should be productive of many inconveniences; that it should generate such disorders as may force us to have recourse to some labor as a thing absolutely requisite to make us pass our lives with tolerable satisfaction." — Edmund Burke.
