The above cut is that of Mr. Thos Fairweather, a present member of the city council, who is a candidate for mayor, subject to the primaries to be held Monday, March 11th. Mr. Fairweather is one of our successful business men, who came to this city a few years ago and at one time managed the Des Moines Baseball club. While manager of said club Mr. Fairweather was requested by some narrow-minded men not to allow colored people to sit in certain sections of the ball park. In fact a committee waited on him and asked him to set aside a certain part of the ball park for colored people. Mr. Fairweather told them he did not believe in segregation and so long as he was manager of the club he would not allow such to be done and that one man's money is as good as another's. This has been his policy, we find, since we have become further acquainted with him. He has made a splendid record as a member of the city council and by virtue of his experience, good business judgment and acquaintance with the need of Des Moines we believe there is no better qualified man than Mr. Fairweather, and we recommend him to the voters of the city.

Crushed by the horror of slavery's fears, Tempted and tried through the long weary years. Torn by sad conflicts, blinded by tears, Lo! our sorrow is suddenly turned in- to cheers. No longer as chattels appealing for right. Nor so bawed, covering alone here. Nor as bowed, cowering slaves do we enter the fight, But as men who have braved life's fierce storm in the night, With courage undaunted we stand in our might. Yea! your foes are ours, for as brothers we band; The Creator above, fashioned black and white hand, His purpose unquestioned, His reason ing must stand; For one country we strive, for one love of one land. Though once in your blindness you us did enchain, Such bondage then known, ne'er will touch men again; Although you enslaved, you too broke the bond, bane, Proved us sons of one Father, blood of the same vein. E'en since freedom you've burned us at tree and at stake, Through injustice of courts made our hearts bleed and ache; Failed have you in your effort our spirit to break, Our hopes crush to naught, or from God our trust take. Life's demands have been great, but we've stood the stern test, And from all walks of life we have come with our best; For one purpose, one cause, for our country so blest, We are ready to die, and to God leave the rest. Oh, enemy halt! ere too far you would go, Ere the sins of your greed bring you naught but dire woe, For we stand united your power to o'er throw, Our wrongs to avenge, and to give blow for blow. Ne'er your bondmen, but free men in our might, Forgotten the question of black or of white, Hearts courageous we enter the thick of the fight, One country, one flag, and one God in our sight.

Bird of Macon City, Mo. His theme was: "If a man dies, shall he live again!" The members of the funeral church of Milan, Mo., are indeed sad o'er the loss of their beloved member, Richard Jackson, who departed this life February 16th, 1918. He was well loved by all members of the choir, being a faithful member and ever ready to do his duty. He will be sadly missed, though how beautiful is the thought of man's immortality The dead alive again and forever more, for he has been wafted, we trust, to the heavens of eternal rest. We extend condolence to the bereaved family and we trust that their loss is Heaven's gain. We would not call him back to this vale of tears to undergo again its trials and disappointments, its sorrows and cares, for in the home above shadows fall upon them no more, nor is life ruffled with anxious care. Love rules life and thoughts and eternal bliss beckons them forever to the pursuits of infinite good. There were other obituaries read by his comrades expressing their sympathy.

HOW TO KEEP WELL. J. Alvin Jefferson, M. D. The various organs of the body are independent of each other so far as their construction is concerned, but in order to do their work well, they must work in harmony with every other organ. It is very rare that all of them go into dissolution at the same time. Sometimes it is the lung that breaks down first, sometimes the kidneys, sometimes the stomach, but the heart rarely ever breaks first. It is the heart that fights the battle to the last ditch. It keeps up the fight after consciousness has fled and the stomach refused to sometimes the stomach, but the heart rarely ever breaks first. It is the heart that fights the battle to the last ditch. It keeps up the fight after consciousness has fled and the stomach refused to digest its food. The breaking down of the heart is usually due to the treachery of some other diseased organ. In the game of life, hearts are trumps and when you have played your ace, all hope is gone. The heart is one of the most wonderfully and at the same time one of the most beautifully constructed organs of the whole body. It may be styled a four chambered pump occupying the central position in the circulatory system. Its business is to pump the blood with sufficient force as to equally distribute it to all parts of the body. To do this well, the muscular condition of the heart must be good; it must be 100 per cent efficient. When this efficiency is impaired the heart must work with a greater effort than it did before. No doubt you can readily see why we should strive to avoid all diseases that poison the blood; for impure blood affects the heart unfavorably as truly as impure food does the stomach. All acute infections such as rheumatism, tonsilitis, smallpox, scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles, whooping cough, bronchitis and many others poison the blood stream and cause the valves of the heart to become warped. You know that awarded valve leaks. The action of a warped valve is similar to the action of an old farm yard pump when its valves have become corroded and warped. You must prime it and use more muscle if you wish to force the water out. So it is with a leaky heart valve, the heart has a greater task to accomplish when the valves are not working right. We have told you that all acute infections tend to produce leaky valves. You will no doubt agree with us when we say that it is ignorance to allow these acute infections to go untreated. Hundreds of them are being treated by Doctors Tom, Dick and Harry, which in many cases are worse than no treatment at all. Many of these patients after having been treated by their free dispensary neighbors, go to their physician for treatment just too late. They go complaining of shortness of breath, dizziness, swollen feet, legs, etc. The physician upon examination discovers that the patient has a murmur which means that there is a leaky mitral valve. Had he consulted a physician when he was first taken sick, he might have been saved from an untimely grave. Acute infections generally tend to affect the valves of the heart, while chronic infections and strong drink tend to affect the heart muscle. Our next issue will deal with the effect of alcohol upon the heart muscle. NEGRO AMERICAN ALLIANCE WARNS AGAINST FALSE OPTIMISM. "Face facts squarely and use common sense," says secretary general. "The American Negro needs to exercise extreme caution lest he be swept away on awave of false optimism," says Floyd Deloc Francis, secretary general of the Negro American Alliance. In a statement which the Alliance is sending out from its national headquarters, the secretary general continues: "It is well to be optimistic and look on the bright side of things, time there is much machine-made opinion finding its way into the public print. The Negro is being assured that all is well. There is much talk about what he has done in the past and how he can be depended upon in the future. He is being lauded as an American citizen who always rises equal to the emergency. While being filled with enthusiasm by hired enthusiasts it is well for him to pause, face the facts squarely and use his common sense.
