THE BYSTANDER THE 7 D DR'S OBSERVATIONS THE EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS (By John L. Thompson.) The city of Rock Island is noted for its being the home of the United States arsenal, one of the largest in the United States, located on the island between the city of Davenport, Ia., and Rock Island, Ill., where during the last year there were between 20,000 and 25,000 men working, and now this force has since been reduced to less than half this number. There are several hundred colored men working on the island. In Rock Island there are two churches the A. M. E. pastored by Rev. Here we we pastor at the wel as uss our agent, annual repo Hill.

These young people doing church work. The next noticeable thing was that Mr. Golden, who is scout master of a trump of boys that won the loving cup given by the city for the best drilled team. It was the first time in the history of Rock Island and perhaps in Illinois that a colored team won this much sought after trophy. Mr. C. Morrison, one of the pioneer citizens here, a veteran of the civil war, who is an inspiration to many a colored man here is still living at his nice home in South Rock Island. Mrs. S. J.

One instance of this was our failing when observing Waterloo we overlooked the new business called the American Panitorium owned by Mr. U. B. Arch recently from Parkersburg, Ia., and formerly from Kansas. He has a first class Mrs. Eva Owens, grand worthy counselor of the Order of Calanthe, jurisdiction of Iowa, received a beautiful gold lavallier with a birth stone setting from Cedar Court No. 19, Cedar Rapids, Ia., and also a box of linen handkerchiefs from Mrs. Mabel Horn, while at the close of the grand court session at Cedar Rapids.

It has been quite a while since the readers of your journal have heard from the western rambler, therefore, I thought it might be interesting to the readers to hear from the western convention. The sixteenth annual session of the Western Baptist convention of which Rev. S. A. Moseley of St. Louis, is president, was held with the Calvary Baptist Church, St. Louis, Mo., Rev. W. H. Harris, pastor, closed its session on Sunday evening July 20. This was the most interesting session held since the reorganization sixteen years ago. It had a right to be from the fact, it is the results of years of struggle. Eight states were represented and both branches, the Woman's Missionary and Educational Convention, auxiliary to the convention proper was indeed one of inspiration as well as business. This department raised about five hundred dollars. The convention proper has taken on new life. The session was one which claimed the attention of the most skeptic who had said, there is nothing to the western convention. The ministers of St. Louis and Missouri who have never had any interest in the convention frankly acknowledge their surprise at the magnitude and accomplishments for mission and Christian education, these being the mission of the church. Many of the pastors of St. Louis and Missouri have become convinced that the convention is going on and they have fallen in line for all the convention stands for. The president, Rev. Mosley, proved to be the right man in the right place, this was expressed by all. HS is, of course, a national character and in many instances made the convention appear as a national Baptist convention of a high order. We had with us Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the national Baptist convention, Dr. A. E. Griggs, secretary of the educational department of the national Baptist convention and Dr. Charles J. W. Boyd, educational secretary of the unincorporated convention, who is also a member of the western convention. The addresses of Doctor Morris and Greggs were full of inspiration and gladly accepted by all. Dr. Boyd's introductory remarks gave new life to the convention. He said the convention was more than he expected. The president's annual address was inspiring and constructive in his views. His recommendations were of such nature as to set the pace for a greater western convention, missionary and educational progress. The interest of the national convention, the home and foreign mission boards and the national educational department were all taken care of. The recommendations by the president were considered to be of so much importance and perhaps too, may be helpful to others. Dr. I. A. Thomas of Evanston, Ill., was elected general secretary of the budget system to raise one hundred thousand dollars within the next three years for mission and education. Dr. Thomas is fully competent from every viewpoint, to fill this position with credit to the denomination and honor to himself. He is a man full of constructive ideas and stands four square for the development of the Baptist family and the race. The writer was re-elected as field secretary of the convention, and with the duty of this position is charged with the responsibility of securing subscribers for the National Baptist Voice and the Western Messenger, all of which we have consented to do. We feel if the two editors of these journals will be prompt in sending the papers to the subscribers there is no doubt but that these journals will have a larger circulation in the west, and the Baptists will be conversant with the Baptist affairs which will inspire the Baptist members to greater activity. The western college cannot fail when it has more than three hundred thousand Baptists behind it and at its head as president, one possessing all those qualities characteristic of a real leader. He is a Christian gentleman of the highest type; a scholar, an educator, an organizer, Dr. P. H. Thompson. He is a man with a vision and is determined to construct plans that western college undergo some reconstruction. Since we have the man with plans why not the Baptists of the west get behind him and help make western college the great lighthouse for this western section. Yours. Yours, C. W. Rodgers, Field Secretary. ORIGINAL NOTICE In the District Court of the State of Iowa, in and for Polk County, September term, A. D. 1919. Solomon Brown, Plaintiff, vs. Lucy Brown, Defendant.

Barton, formerly lived here so many years, but now of Washington, D. C., has just been appointed to a position through the influence of Congressman Hon. C. C. Dowell and the republican party taken the position held by a democrat, thus the good work has at last been started to put the republicans back into all the offices. We congratulate Congressman Dowell, Mr. Barton has been very sick. So interesting is his letter that we publish a part of it. "I read the Bystander every week and would hardly know how to get along without it. For through it, I am kept informed on home conditions. Then your observations are very interesting, and really enjoy them very much. I suppose you have read of the riot we had here. It was quite bad, but was confined to the Northwest and southwest sections of our city, and did not interfere with my section at all. It was conceded by all classes that the southern cracker was the cause. It is quiet now. The better class of both races got together, reasoned about the matter and stopped the confusion. Almost all pastors in the city, both colored and white, preached about the trouble, and deplored the incident. If I continue to feel better I shall soon write you an observation from Washington. We are all fairly well at this writing. A $ 10,000 Drive. All Expected to Help The drive is on. The workers are busy in the various duties assigned to them. The people of Iowa, both men and women, are expected to come to the support of this movement. Iowa is widely noted for the number and high character of its educational institution, but there is not in all Iowa a home or dormitory for the colored students. The committee urges everyone who has received a subscription card to fill it out and return to chairman at once. Those who have not, committee will mail cards to you or send in your donation to chairman of committee. The Mary Church Terril Club of Des Moines heads the honor roll of Clubs. Christian Culture Club of Washington is second. The Grand Lodge of Knights of Knights of Pythians and Court Calanthe made generous donation at their meeting in Cedar Rapids last week and are first on honor roll of lodges. Rev. C. P. Jones of Osceola is the only minister in the state enrolled thus far in the drive. The people must awaken. It is not like Iowa, the Iowa we have known for the past two years to let any worthy cause suffer. The merits of Chamberlain's Colie and Diarrhoea Remedy are well known and appreciated, but there is occasionally a man who had no acquaintance with them and should read the following by F. H. Dear, a hotel man at Dupuyer, Mont. "Four years ago I used Chamberlain's Colie and Diarrhoea Remedy with such wonderful results that I have since recommended it to my friends."

Reason for Placing Wedding Ring. The third finger is the only one where two principal nerves belong to two distinct trunks; the thumb is supplied with its principal nerves from the radial nerve, as are also the forefinger, the middle finger, and the thumb side of the ring finger, while the ulnar nerve furnishes the little finger, and the other side of the ring finger, at the point of extremity of which a real union takes place; hence the ancient reason for placing the wedding ring on this finger. .

The good health of any people is de- pendent as mueh upon the proper kind of rearing during infaney and carly childhood as upon any other factor. The colored man today is not the physical equal of the white man in every respect, but in some few respects he (colored) outstripes the whites, as was recently shown in the army statis; ties comprising the two races. And the day will be brought much closer, more quickly when we will be the stronger race as a whole if the mothers will but learry into effect the principles laid down for the proper feeding and the nursing of their infants. The colored mothers lave always been denied the opportunity to get the benefit of the many advances of science, ‘because of the apparent white monopoly on learning which I pray God has at last ended forever. The ideal food for a newly born child is the milk of its mother, and it is the duty of every mother to nurse her baby unless she has instruetions to the con- trary from a competent physician. In many instanees where the supply of milk ix insufficient, it becomes inereased in amount if suckling is persisted in. ‘At first the child should be put to the breast only three times a day until the ‘milk flow becomes established, but after ‘that time, it should be fed at intervals of three liours, Definite hours should be set for each feeding and, if necessary, the child should be awakened from a sound sleep at stated times to take nour- ishment for only by this means ean its habits be made regular. A definite hour should be arranged for the child's bath, which should be taken as a starting point in arranging the schedule for feeding. Ordinazily the most convenient time is between 9 and 10 a.m. If the former hour be chosen, the first fecding should be at 6 a. m, after feeding. If these regulations be persisted in, the ehild will usually go to sleep within a few minutes after be- ing put to bed, and if it awakes before the next feeding is due it will remain quict. ‘After the fourth or fifth week, unless the child is placed upon a four-hour schedule one of the breast feedings should be replaced by a bottle, no matter how much milk the mother gives. It should be remembered that crying is not always a symptom of hunger, but much more frequently indicates indiges- tion, resulting from an overloaded stom- ach, A child which is receiving the prop- er amount of: nourishment should rot spit up its food, should increase steadily in weight, aid should have normal yel- low homogencous passages. In some subsequent article will dis- cuss artificial infant feeding for the benéfit of those mothers who for some reason or other are unable to nurse their babies, and the next immediately after the bath; while if the later be chosen, the child should be fed at 7 a. m., and again shortly after 10. After the feeding im- mediately following the bath the baby should be allowed to sleep as long as it will, which is usually” several hours, after which it should be given nourish- ment at intervals of three hours until bed-time. By this arrangement it will receive seven to cight feeding during twenty-four hours. The last chonld be. timed for the ysual bed time of the par- ants, and only one feeding showld be giv- en during the night that is between 11 p. m, and 6 or 7a, m. and frequently the child can be‘ trained to sleep the entire night without awakening. This how- ever, can only be accomplished by fecd- ing it at regular intervals during the day, 60 as to insure that it receives the proper amount of nutriment in the twen- eset Betas cae ‘Just beforgfeeding the napkin show be changed aad the child encourazed to ua Disass if should he, paced. iH: Sed And ioe Re allowed Sa. sleep.
