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.

Dick Seip of Chicago and the Big Racing Car He Will Drive in the Races at the Coming Iowa State Fair, August 20-29. Fancy Chester Whites Just Off the Cars at the 1918 Iowa State Fair. OPEN AIR VAUDEVILLE Lovers of good snappy vaudeville—and that includes pretty much the whole durned family—will have an opportunity to enjoy it in liberal measure at the coming Iowa State Fair. Every afternoon in connection with the race program and every evening preliminary to the big night show the platforms in front of the Amphitheatre will be occupied with the best new and novel acts the management has been able to book. No less than fifteen special acts will be presented, tumbling, trapeze, balancing, circus, etc., etc. Some of these acts are positively terrifying in their reckless defiance of the laws of gravitation, which of course makes them all the more interesting. Others are so excruciatingly funny that they approach sublimity—if you can stretch your imagination to the point of hooking the sublime and the ridiculous together. Neither pains nor money have been spared in the effort to get acts that are fresh and spectacular for a public that has become discriminating in its desires. BUSY AFTERNOONS AT THE STATE FAIR. The afternoons at the Iowa State Fair, devoted to sports and amusements, are as full of fun and entertainments as it is possible to crowd them. Races, music, hippodrome, music, rases, vaudeville, more races, more music, auto polo, races, aviation stunts, balloon ascensions—it beats a threering circus a hundred ways. From the time the music strikes up shortly after noon until supper time there isn't a minute's break or an intermission of any kind. There will be at least six races every afternoon, four for harness horses and two or three for the runners, with each of the harness races going from three to five heats. In the evening another big show, the great open-air war drama, "The Battle of Chateau Thierry," preceded by music, hippodrome and circus specialities and auto polo by electric lights. The night show will wind up with a gorgeous display of patriotic fireworks put on by the Thearle-Duffield Co. A THRILLING BALLOON STUNT. A novel and thrilling balloon-parachute act has been engaged for the Iowa State Fair. After ascending to a lofty height the balloonist cuts loose from his air wagon and starts back to Iowa with a string of parachutes, anywhere from six to ten of them. During the downward trip he is supposed to change horses, so to speak, changing from one parachute to another until each in turn has been ridden. Just how he is going to do it history sayeth not, but he is going to do it because it is "so nominated in the bond." Some considerable stunt? We'll say it is. But that isn't all. A part of the time he will take a passenger up with him, a woman, and start her "back to the land" with a six-in-hand of these parachute things, after which he will follow with another team.

"Huh, you don't say so!" replied Stubkins, with a snort. "What else in the world do you suppose makes a man bachelor?" - Judge. HANKINSON BUNCH PLAY The well-known Hankinson aggregation of auto polo players will entertain the Iowa public at the coming Iowa State Fair. Mr. Hankinson is the man who originated auto polo and contributed it to the world's list of sports. And we will all agree that it was no mean contribution. There have been imitators of the Hankinson players, of course, those who fondly imagine they are just as good as the originators of the game, but so far they have all fallen short of the mark, short of the extraordinary dash and proficiency demonstrated by the Hankinson teams, just as numerous aspirants for championship honors in the squared circle have failed to achieve the science of Jim Corbett and lanky Bob Fitzsimmons. The Iowa public enjoys auto polo. It is a bully game, as full of thrills and excitement as it is possible to crowd any one entertainment. It is a game that is just as fresh and exciting today as it was yesterday. The state fair officials consider themselves fortunate in being able to book this attraction again this year, and were able to do so only by making a contract early in the year, for after making a tour of foreign countries as well as visiting every state in this country the fame of these players is such that they are in wide demand. STATE FAIR SILO SHOW Silo Town at the Iowa State Fair has been enlarged by the erection of a number of new silos since the 1918 fair. The Iowa State Fair, by the way, is the only place in the Middle West where the various kinds and makes of silos can be seen in completed form. Other fairs, cramped for room, have so far allowed only models or small sections to be built. At the Iowa Fair silo manufacturers have been allotted space and invited to construct complete silos, in order that fair visitors might have an opportunity to study the various makes intelligently, for it is pretty hard for the average man to vision a completed structure merely by looking at a few samples of material or a few courses of brick. Silo Town at the Iowa Fair is a real institution. It covers many acres of ground and there are more than twenty completed structures showing the various styles and makes and the different materials used in construction, stave, cement, brick, block, tile, metal, etc. CHILDREN'S DAY AT THE STATE FAIR. Friday, August 22 will be Children's day at the Iowa State Fair. Every kiddie that can possibly get to the fair is invited to be on hand. No admission will be charged for those under fifteen years of age. The doings that day will be planned with the idea of catering to the little folk as well as to the grownups. Come on, kids, and let's make a day of it.

WASHINGTON BIOTS In connection with the race riots in Washington, D. C., the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today telegraphed President Wilson warning of the danger of such outbreaks elsewhere. The telegram called upon him as president to condemn mob violence in the national capital and as commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the nation to enforce military law. The telegram is as follows: July 21, 1919. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, White House, Washington, D. C. In the name of twelve million Negroes of the United States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully calls your attention to the shame put upon the country by the mobs, including United States soldiers, sailors and marines, which have assaulted innocent and unoffending Negroes in the national capital. Men in uniform have attacked Negroes on the streets and pulled from street cars to beat them. Crowds are reported by the New York Times to have directed attacks against any passing Negro by cries of "there he goes." The effect of such riots in national capital upon race antagonism will be to increase bitterness and danger of outbreaks elsewhere. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon you as president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the nation to make a statement condemning mob violence and to enforce such military law as situation demands.

The object of the picnic was to interest all graded school girls of those ages in the Girls Reserve Movement. After various games of ball, etc., the girls gathered in groups for lunch which they ate in regular picnic fashion spread upon the grass. The Girl Reserve Movement, its organization, insignia, code, slogan, purpose, membership, uniform, honors, etc., were carefully explained by Miss Beulah G. McNeill, secretary for the center. Sixty-eight girls showed their interest by registering their names. The following volunteer leaders brought groups of girls with them: Mrs. Mable Brooks, Misses Adah Hyde, Manie James, Dorothy Quail, Workle Beulah Wheeler, Dora Newcome (who kindly brought a net and balls and Mrs. Williamson.

We hope they will continue their interest in the movement. A number of group pictures were taken. Just before going home, Mrs. H. R.

HANKINSON BUNCH PLAY The well-known Hankinson aggregation of auto polo players will entertain the Iowa public at the coming Iowa State Fair. Mr. Hankinson is the man who originated auto polo and contributed it to the world's list of sports. And we will all agree that it was no mean contribution. There have been imitators of the Hankinson players, of course, those who fondly imagine they are just as good as the originators of the game, but so far they have all fallen short of the mark, short of the extraordinary dash and proficiency demonstrated by the Hankinson teams, just as numerous aspirants for championship honors in the squared circle have failed to achieve the science of Jim Corbett and lanky Bob Fitzsimmons. The Iowa public enjoys auto polo. It is a bully game, as full of thrills and excitement as it is possible to crowd any one entertainment. It is a game that is just as fresh and exciting today as it was yesterday. The state fair officials consider themselves fortunate in being able to book this attraction again this year, and were able to do so only by making a contract early in the year, for after making a tour of foreign countries as well as visiting every state in this country the fame of these players is such that they are in wide demand. STATE FAIR SILO SHOW. Silo Town at the Iowa State Fair has been enlarged by the erection of a number of new silos since the 1918 fair. The Iowa State Fair, by the way, is the only place in the Middle West where the various kinds and makes of silos can be seen in completed form. Other fairs, cramped for room, have so allowed only models or small sections to be built. At the Iowa Fair silo manufacturers have been allotted space and invited to construct complete silos, in order that fair visitors might have an opportunity to study the various makes intelligently, for it is pretty hard for the average man to vision a completed structure merely by looking at a few samples of material or a few courses of brick. Silo Town at the Iowa Fair is a real institution. It covers many acres of ground and there are more than twenty completed structures showing the various styles and makes and the different materials used in construction stave, cement, brick, block, tile, metal, etc. CHILDREN'S DAY AT THE STATE FAIR Friday, August 22 will be Children's day at the Iowa State Fair. Every kiddle that can possibly get to the fair is invited to be on hand. No admission will be charged for those under fifteen years of age. The doings that day will be planned with the idea of catering to the little folk as well as to the grownups. Come on, kids, and let's make a day of it. Come as early as you like and stay as late as mother will let you. ing Car He Will Drive in the Races at State Fair, August 20-29. e Cars at the 1918 Iowa State Fair. In Other Days.

WASHINGTON RIOTS. In connection with the race riots in Washington, D. C., the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today telegraphed President Wilson warning of the danger of such outbreaks elsewhere. The telegram called upon him as president to condemn mob violence in the national capital and as commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the nation to enforce military law. The telegram is as follows: July 21, 1919. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, White House, Washington, D. C. In the name of twelve million Negroes of the United States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully calls your attention to the shame put upon the country by the mobs, including United States soldiers, sailors and marines, which have assaulted innocent and unoffending Negroes in the national capital. Men in uniform have attacked Negroes on the streets and pulled from street cars to beat them. Crowds are reported by the New York Times to have directed attacks against any passing Negro by cries of "there he goes." The effect of such riots in national capital upon race antagonism will be to increase bitterness and danger of outbreaks elsewhere. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon you as president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the nation to make a statement condemning mob violence and to enforce such military law as situation demands. John R. Shillady, Secretary. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. OSKALOQSA NEWS.

A. Recreational Center for Colored Girls in Good's Park for all girls between 10 and 15 years of age was a decided success. The object of the picnic was to interest all graded school girls of those ages in the Girls Reserve Movement. After various games of ball, etc., the girls gathered in groups for lunch which they ate in regular picnic fashion spread upon the grass. The Girl Reserve Movement, its organization, insignia, code, slogan, purpose, membership, uniform, honors, etc., were carefully explained by Miss Beulah G. McNeill, secretary for the center. Sixty-eight girls showed their interest by registering their names. The following volunteer leaders brought groups of girls with them: Mrs. Mable Brooks, Misses Adah Hyde, Mamie James, Dorothy Quail, Workle Beulah Wheeler, Dora Newcome (who kindly brought a net and balls and Mrs. Williamson. Miss Beulah Walton was absent because of illness but sent her group of girls by Mrs. Brooks. It was very gratifying to see a number of the mothers present. We hope they will continue their interest in the movement. A number of group pictures were taken. Just before going home, Mrs. H. R. Graves, chairman of the social committee, assisted by one member of her committee, served every one with iced lemonade. After the separate corps meetings for the following week had been planned and announced, all went home saying they had had an enjoyable afternoon.

But here's a better one: LAUGH AND PRESERVE YOUR BALANCE OF ENERGY Can't you call to mind an occasion when a hearty laugh saved the day from impending tragedy? Can't you recall a time when, weary, worn and worked to a frazzle, you were saved from a threatened breakdown by a few days of vacation? IT HAS BEEN A BUSY AND STRENUOUS SUMMER You have worked like a horse in corn field, hay field, harvest field, garage, shop, office or elsewhere. You are tired. You lack the snap that characterized your work a few months ago. You find it harder to come back after a long day's work. You don't need a doctor—you don't need dope. You need rest and a change of interests. A few days at the IOWA STATE FAIR will do you a world of good. It will rest you physically, inspire you mentally and put you back to 100 per cent, and you will go back home keen, cheerful and ready to tackle any sort of a job that comes along in connection with fall work.

Willard is well known in Des Moines, having raced here at different times, and expects to return again this year to race at the state fair. Willard will drive a Monroe again this season. It is 156 horse power, and while not so big and powerful as some of the cars with which he will have to compete, he counts on getting a share of the winnings just the same. If his success of last year can be taken as a criterion he will certainly be in the going again this year.

Broyles, wife of the pastor of the Eighth and Center Streets Baptist Church, passed away at St. Elizabeth Hospital last Tuesday morning at 9:15 o'clock. Mrs. Broyles had undergone an operation some time ago and at that time Dr. McChen removed a growth from her. Her death followed the second operation. For many months afterwards she began to improve, but foreign substances began to show in another growth, and for nine weeks she struggled with the monster death, but finally was overcome and passed into the great beyond. Rev. Broyles labored long and steady to give her every comfort and every service to prolong her life, but to no avail. Mrs. Broyles was a woman of extraordinary habits, possessed of a strong religious fervor. She was a leader among women and always took an active part in the welfare of the race women. She was a graduate of the public schools of Boeham, Texas, where she was reared. She was also a graduate of Prarieview State Normal and Industrial College of Prarieview, Texas. She took post-graduate work at the University of Chicago, along with her husband, which added much to her ability as a helpmate to her husband in the ministry. The funeral services took place at the Eighth and Center Streets Baptist Church, of which she was a member. The services were conducted by Rev. C. W. Holmes, assisted by Rev. C. W. Newton of St. Louis, Mo., and the pastors of the city. Rev. Broyles left with the body at 11:50 Thursday night for their home in Waterloo, Ia., where she will be laid to rest. Rev. Broyles was accompanied by Miss Norma L. Steward of Austin, Texas, a niece of Mrs. Broyles; Mrs. Martha Pickett and Mrs. Bettie Talbot. CARD OF THANKS. I wish to thank all of the friends who showed a helpful spirit during the illness and during the last hours of my wife, Mrs. Broyles. I wish to express my appreciation to Rev. C. W. Holmes and the pastors of Hannibal churches, also Rev. C. W. Newton of St. Louis for their many kind words of encouragement at the funeral of my beloved wife, Mrs. Broyles. Mrs. Jessie Roberts has returned from her trip to Montgomery, Ala., where she was called on account of her sister's illness. Her mother, Mrs. H. Sturgis, is still there. Rev. Lewis, Miss Goldie Talbot, Mr. Curtis and Mr. Tuggle of the A. M. E. Church are attending the district conference and Sunday School convention at Council Bluffs. Rev.

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. Teaching Child to Read. A child is best taught to read in the natural method, by means of objecta His words or short sentences containing the same words repeated in different connection, are written on the blackboard, and he quickly learns to recognize these and to read at sight. First words in script, then in type when he is made to copy the blackboard words at each lesson, he learns read and write both at the same time. By Degrees. A man could wonder at the mighty things which have been done by degrees and gentle augmentations. Diligence and moderation are the best steps whereby to climb to any excellency-Owen Felltham. Difficult Achievement "My young friends," said a member of the board of trustees, who was addressing the school, "let me urge upon you the necessity of not only reading good books, but also of owning them, so that you may have access to them at all times. Why, when I was a young man I used frequently to work all night to earn money to buy books and then got up before daylight and send them." Sparrows Eaten in England. Sparrows are often eaten by English country persons. They are captured easily in fine mesh nets stretched over the ground and baited with grain, or in nets hung at night around their roosting places in ricks, hedges and ivy-clad walls. Also, the ground can be baited and a crowd of feeding sparrows laid low with a gun, using fine shot for the purpose. Organization of Roman Army. The Roman army was divided into legions, the number of which varied. Each was under six tribunal or "chief captains," who commanded by turns. The legion was subdivided into ten cohorts, the cohort into three maniples, and the maniple into two centuries. The century originally contained 100 men, as the term implies, but subsequently from 50 to 100 men, according to the strength of the legion. Social Etiquette.

TENNIS COURTS. GIRLS SUMMER CAMP. Janitor’s Wife Evidently Profound Philosopher. Allowed No Differences of Opinion to Mar Her Happy Marricd Life— Some May Say She “Hu- mored the Brute.” “Excuse me, Mrs. Dimkin, but !f there's any cool feeling between you and Mr. Dimkin It has nothing to do with me and I can do nothing but wish you to patch up your troubles and be happy once again,” ‘The Jan- itor’s wife put down her mop as she spoke and stood with arms akimbo. “But there {s no quarrel,” replied Mrs. Dimkin, tearfully. “Really! Just ‘a difference of opinion, so to speak.” “That's one thing people shouldn't have, especially married ones, this here difference of opinion,” remarked the janitor's wife. “The difference Is in danger of getting worse until final- ly it's a break, “If a man wants to go to the ball game he should be let go. A woman shouldn't be always beggihg to go along. Baseball is a man’s game and a woman's fad. No woman really likes baseball—she pnly pretends {t so her husband will take her along. “When Oswald, my husband, a<ks to go by the game I don't pester him to be on the next bleacher seat. 1 have better sense. If I get the habit of going to the ball game with him how do I know but what he may start asking me to take him by my knitting elub? Not for me! “Maybe what you say, a difference of opinion, comes about cooking. What a man should eat lots of ‘times causes trouble. If he hasn't got the same food Ideas as his wife she should have the same as him. I don't like finnan haddie—I_ hate it—but Oswald is more finnan haddie than a finnan haddie itself. “Then what do I do to save argu- ments? Why, when he says we will have finnan haddie for breakfast, or for dinner, I say: ‘Oh, Oswald, how glad I am you mentioned that dell- cate food! I'm dying for a portion!’ “I like different talking-machine music than what he likes, but he don't know it. He never knows that when ‘a bagpipe solo is on the machine 1 feel like jumping off the roof or some- thing. He never guesses that a yodel makes me so sentimental I feel I got to mop my eyes instead of the floor. “He wears a silk hat that Mr. Sim- mons gave him four years ago, and it makes him look like old Cap. Street- er, but he thinks he looks lke some- oné he saw in the movies—a feller called. Bushman, I think—and I let him go on thinking It. “Would you advise me to start something and then we'd be like you and your husband is—have already a difference of opinion? No, Mrs, Dim- kin. We are one happy couple and we're going to stick that way. Maybe it's my fault, but I'm satisfied and so is Oswald, I think.”"—Chicago News. Airman’s Coveted Title. Henry Farre in his “Sky Fighters of France” gives a full explanation of the way In which the airman’s most coveted title, “Ace,” came Into gen- eral use. He says, “When a pilot has brought down his fifth plane, the chief of the squadron telegraphs his fifth vietory to headquarters, and that gives him the right to be carried In the next genetal orders to the whole army with a citation of service rendered, for the press to publish the following day in the Official Gazette. Whenever pilots merited this distinction, thelr machin- ists called them aces, which has the same significance among te pilots as the ace card has in a game of cards; that 1s to say, the strongest card, and this is the etymology of the word ‘ace,’ of which many persons are ignorant. This title has nothing official, and tt sprung from the slang of the machin- ists, but that does not prevent {t from being quoted {n all languages and in every country in the world.” Billce.at Boteon for’ Beetles: The Japanese beetle, that not only destroys flowering plants, and especial- ly roses, but also attacks orchard trees, has recently become so prevalent in New Jersey that the federal govern- ment has begun a warfare against it. Miles and miles of poison are used, and trenches dug to keep the beetles from escaping the sections treated. Al- ready bushels of dead beetles are be- ing collected, and it Is hoped that they can all be destroyed so that they won't infest other parts of the country. ‘The department of agriculture works hard to keep out the “undesirable alien” among insects of all kinds, but as in the case of the Japanese beetle, ‘one or two occasionally smuggle them- selves In as stow-aways on plants or fruits, and then escape to work against the country they have adopted.—Phila- delphia North American. Government Experts at Work. When a cotton shortage was threat- ened before the armistice, the forest products laboratory of the forest serv- ice, United States department of agri- culture, entered a practically new field of investigation—finding the practica- bility of using wood pulp as a source of explosives. Methods for the produc- tion of acid and sulphate pulp suitable for nitrating were developed, and tests at a government arsenal proved con- clusively their suitability for nitration purposes. ‘These results have other applications, particularly in the manu- facture of Incquers and pyroxylin prod- ‘nets, and the laboratory. 18. contlauing 30° Zee.

C. Diet of School Children. The period usually , spoken of as ««sehool days’? is ane tremely active one physically. The vast number of metabolie changes going on and the growth of the body demand a plentiful and suitable diet, Both in and out of school and in seminaries careful atten- tion should be given to food, fresh air, and exercise. In other words, the physi- eal development should receive as much attention as the mental growth. Milk, being easily digested in most cases, is of great value, especially for children whose nutrition is below nor mal. It should be furnished as a bev- erage daily for breakfast and supper. and is advisable even with dinner. It may also be used in the preparation of puddings and soups. Cream is very val- uable and whenever possible should be supplied in sufficient quantities. A eup of-warm milk is helpful during the mid. dle o? the morning, and as a substitute for tea in the afternoon. Delicate children and others may with advantage take a glass of warm milk a short time before going to bed. If the rising hour is sometime before that set for breakfast a cup of milk or of bread and milk should be given on ris ing. Eggs may be used alone or in the preparation of various dishes, They may be used in almost any way except fried. Fried eggs’ are liable to be very indigestible, They are often prepared in ‘this way in order to disguise the stale taste of an egg that has been in storage for some time. Meat is a very important part of the diet, as it contains a larger quantity of protein, from which the tissues arc built up, and in a more available form, than any other form of food. Steaks, chops and roasts of beef, mutton, lamb, fowl and bacon are the most suitable meats. Bread and butter should be given with each meal. Bread made from the whole wheat flour may be used in the largest quantity, but it is well to sup: ply various kinds of bread to avoid ‘monotony. Cereal porridges of all kinds may be given for breakfast, oatmeal being the most desirable. ‘Vegetables of almost all varieties may be used. Fruit should invariably be given once a day. Sugar should be provided fo in the dieting. Candies and many of (C ‘>, (Og | acs f—} =~ = Get! = i \ Lz TT ea =< — MOM Ae Wi) a i Up Ses Hp 525 | i +3 eT GE 7 ag { YouRE ee, i \ Goin’ up ea | Z a J hb (€ e > ee Ric 2 SOsey “4 “c2.- (j e a> > ake K qe at G p = 533 5.

Weak cocoa or chocolate may be given after the seventh year. Tea and witfee should not be given before the tirteenth year, and may be withheld ad- vantageously even longer. Alcohol is het to be used in any form except by a physician’s orders or direction. The food should be well prepared and attractively served. This hes more to do with influencing the appetite of delieate, nervous children than is gen- erally supposed. ‘Overeating should be avoided, and to this end an older person should ve pres: ent when practicable. Tt is by neglect of diet, fresh air, and oxercise that many cases of tubereulesis gain headway, anemia way result f4o% eich aeglect, and a ‘lelieate nervous child be the outcome of one that should by right be healt ay. ‘The above articis was written by 1e- quest of a Bystander subseriber.

Sterling Moore at Pilgrims Rest Baptist Church some weeks ago after the perpetration of the Inman murder. Sixty-five names representing people in their various walks of life have ap- plied for a charter into the national body. Besides the chairman, Dr. T. H. Phillips, W. W. Gross, F. 8. Johnson, A. W. Draine, Rev. C. R. Waters, Rev. W. H. Clark and-George Mott were much in evidence and gave the very much needed timely and helpful instrue- tion and advice, The chairman in a very dignified manner pushed the meet- ing right along and allowed no tmie lost. One special feature noticeable was the perfect harmony ‘with which every phase of this work was characterized and was the result of the earnest and sincere effort of everyone present. ‘The election of the permanent officers though considered individually was unanimous: Rev. J. Sterling Moore, president; Rev. C. R. Waters, vice president; Mrs. Selby Johnson, secretary; Geo. W. Snod- dy, treasurer. Executive committee incomplete. In addition to the above named officers, W. W. Gross, A, W. Draine, Mrs. V. Olive Phillips, Rev. W. H. Clark, Dr. T. Phillips and Solomon Williams were elected. As soon as the charter is re- ceived other committees will be formed snd there will be plenty of work for every member, and others too which will join from time to time.

BRAINY POWER THE BYSTANDER A. B. PROTECTION OF HEALTH (By Wm. H. Harper, B. S. M. D.) Friedmen's Hospital, Washington, D. C. Diet of School Children The period usually spoken of as "school days" is an extremely active one physically. The vast number of metabolite changes going on and the growth of the body demand a pleasant and suitable diet. Both in and out of school and in seminaries careful attention should be given to food, fresh air, and exercise. In other words, the physical development should receive as much attention as the mental growth. Milk, being easily digested in most cases, is of great value, especially for children whose nutrition is below normal. It should be furnished as a beverage daily for breakfast and supper, and is advisable even with dinner. It may also be used in the preparation of puddings and soups. Cream is very valuable and whenever possible should be supplied in sufficient quantities. A cup of warm milk is helpful during the middle of the morning, and as a substitute for tea in the afternoon. Delicate children and others may with advantage take a glass of warm milk a short time before going to bed. If the rising hour is sometime before that set for breakfast a cup of milk or of bread and milk should be given on rising. Eggs may be used alone or in the preparation of various dishes. They may be used in almost any way except fried. Fried eggs are liable to be very indigestible. They are often prepared in this way in order to disguise the stale taste of an egg that has been in storage for some time. Meat is a very important part of the diet, as it contains a larger quantity of protein, from which the tissues are built up, and in a more available form, than any other form of food. Steaks, chops and roasts of beef, mutton, lamb, fowl and bacon are the most suitable meats. Bread and butter should be given with each meal. Bread made from the whole wheat flour may be used in the largest quantity, but it is well to supply various kinds of bread to avoid monotony. Cereal porridges of all kinds may be given for breakfast, oatmeal being the most desirable. Vegetables of almost all varieties may be used. Fruit should invariably be given once a day. Sugar should be provided for in the distinguisher. Candies and many of the sweets given children are harmful and cause indigestion and dyspepsia. The beverage should be water and milk. Weak cocoa or chocolate may be given after the seventh year. Tea and coffee should not be given before the thirteenth year, and may be withheld advantageously even longer. Alcohol is not to be used in any form except by a physician's orders or direction. The food should be well prepared and attractively served. This has more to do with influencing the appetite or deliciate, nervous children than is generally supposed. Overeating should be avoided, and to this end an older person should be present when practicable. It is by neglect of diet, fresh air, and exercise that many cases of tuberculosis gain headway, anemia may result from such neglect, and a deliciate nervous child be the outcome of one that should by right be heathful. The above article was written by request of a Bystander subscriber. Would be very pleased as far as practicable to comply with any request of a medium nature for discussion, reserving, however, the right to reject subjects not of a common interest or those which cannot well be discussed in the spine allotted for these articles. MT PLEASANT NEWS Rev. H. J. Handy preached two soul stirring sermons Sunday and one member was added to the church. The pastor and members were very much encouraged at the progress of the church. Rev. Handy and wife have gone to Waterloo after his household goods. He was very happily surprised on July 18 by a company of his members gathering on him with full baskets and also quite a financial success. Mr. George Green is very sick at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Steward were down from Fairfield to attend a social at the A. M. E. Church on the 17th and also Mrs. B. F. Hubbard. Permanent organization for a Keokuk branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People assured me Tuesday night. A very enthusiastic meeting among the colored citizens of Keokuk at the Bethel A. M. E. Church where they met to further perfect the work of the temporary organization which was the outgrowth of the massmeeting called by Rev. J. Sterling Moore at Pilgrims Rest Baptist Church some weeks ago after the perpetration of the Inman murder. Sixty-five names representing people in their various walks of life have applied for a charter into the national body. Besides the chairman, Dr. T. H. Phillips, W. W. Gross, P. S. Johnson, A. W. Draine, Rev. C. R. Waters, Rev. W. H. Clark and George Mott were much in evidence and gave the very much needed timely and helpful instruction and advice. The chairman in a very dignified manner pushed the meeting right along and allowed no time lost. One special feature noticeable was the perfect harmony with which every phase of this work was characterized and was the result of the earnest and sincere effort of everyone present. The election of the permanent officers though considered individually was unanimous: Rev. J. Sterling Moore, president; Rev. C. R. Waters, vice president; Mrs. Selby Johnson, secretary; Geo. W. Snoddy, treasurer. Executive committee incomplete. In addition to the above named officers, W. W. Gross, A. W. Draine, Mrs. V. Olive Phillips, Rev. W. H. Clark, Dr. T. H. Phillips and Solomon Williams were elected. As soon as the charter is re received other committees will be formed and there will be plenty of work for every member, and others too which will join from time to time. The next meeting will be at the call of the president. WITH OUR CHURCHES CHURCH DIRECTORY. MAPLE ST. BAPTIST CHURCH East Maple Street Rev.

The geophone, a listening instrument developed by the French during the war to detect enemy underground mining operations, is to be used by our bureau of mines as a possible aid in locating miners who have been combed after an disaster. A miner pounding on a coal seam can be heard with this instrument 1,200 feet away. Recently a pit boss who happened to be near while the geophone was being tested in a mine, put the instrument to his ears. He heard so distinctly that he called out in a startled tone: "Mack is tamping in a charge. We had better move away." A coal seam 300 feet thick separated Mack from the startled boss at the time. Laugh on the Doctor. An Illinois physician who had metored into an Ohio town found a peer standing back of the machine laughing. "What's the joke?" inquired the owner. "Nuthin', boss; but you're a doctor, isn't you?" "Yes." "I thought so when I saw that red cross on the front of your car. But if I owned the car I think I'd put that sign on the back." The doctor walked around to the rear and looked at his license tag. It read: "46,000 III"—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Rose to High Place.
