SUNDAY IS "EVERYBODY GO TO CHURCH DAY"----BE THERE UNDERTAKER WYATT PASSES AWAY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST COLOR-ED UNDERTAKERS IN KANSAS CITY, KANSAS—HAD MANY FRIENDS OF BOTH RACES THRONGS OF PEOPLE PAY THEIR LAST RESPECTS MOUNDS-OF FLOWERS BANKED ON ROSTRUM. Mr. Simon Wyatt, one of the city's oldest colored undertakers, after a short week's illness with pneumonia, passed away Saturday evening, March 10th, at his home on North Sixth street. Just one week prior to his death was when he took so suddenly ill while taking care of the body of Mr. Albert Price and he was relieved by one of his brother undertakers, Mr. Thatcher. The sudden and untimely death of this well known citizen and business man was a great shock to his numerous friends of greater Kansas City. The funeral was held the afternoon of Tuesday, March 13, at the First A. M. E. church of which he had long been a member and one of its stewards. Rev. J. R. Ransom, his pastor, officiated, assisted by Rev. W. A. Bowren, pastor of the First Baptist church, and others. The Interdenominational Ministers Alliance was there in a body. There were mounds of floral offerings. There were many touching resolutions and culogies from the four lodges of which he was a member and from several departments of his church. Also resolutions from the First Baptist church of which his wife and son are members. The church was packed long before the time of the last sad rites to take place. He leaves to mourn their loss a lovable wife, son, Milton sister, Fannie, and many relatives and a host of friends, who sorrowfully regret his transition. The bereaved have the sincere sympathy at this trying hour of affliction. The remains were laid tenderly and peacefully away in Woodlawn cemetery. THEY SAY— Some of our churches allow too much loud talking when they begin to take up collection. The pastor ought not to have to tell them to get quiet, their reverence for the house of God and their eliquette ought to tell them that it is not right. A certain pastor was talking right when he said "we ought not save our dead so long in order to have a Sunday, funeral." The blessings of the great Baptist revival are still being felt. Fifteen names from it were given to a Methodist pastor. It has not yet been equalled in attendance nor in converts by any other revival. That many are asking for copies of The Advocate that had the Baptist Revival report in them. That the First Baptist members are contemplating having Elder L. K. Williams, the great Spurgeon of our race, return from Chicago and hold a ten, days meeting at their church. No colored evangelist has ever preached in this city as well as he, nor had as large audiences. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors for all kindness and sympathy shown us during the illness and death of my mother, Mrs. Emma Kelley. Also for the resolutions and Floral Tributes.—Son, Mr. James Irvie, and Relatives. The funeral of Mrs. Emma Kelley, 835 Freeman avenue, was held Wednesday afternoon at Pleasant Green Baptist church, where she was a faithful member for many years. The sermon was by the pastor, Rev. G. McNeal and was under the auspices of Pearly Gate Temple S. M. T., W. P. Mrs) S. Gregory. They paid a high and glowing tribute to her memory. Many resolutions were passed and the floral tributes were beautiful. She leaves to mour their loss to sons, several brothers and a sister and a host of friends. Miss Catherine Davis is reported as very ill this week. J. B. BROWN FOR PARK COMMISSIONER IS WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY FORUM. Sunday, March 11. The Citizens' Forum met at Metropolitan Temple on time as usual under President Buster's administration. Chaplain Robinson led devotionals. Current events were led by Miss B. Burke and several others. They were good. The instrumental solo by Miss L. Crump was in perfect time. "Travelog," a free trip, to Kentucky, by Miss Scotty Davis, was unique. Instrumental solo, "The Last Smile," by Mr. Madison, was fine. He was enced and played the "Rosary." He will be "our Paderewski." The finance committee was absent and Messrs. C. Holmes and S. French took collection, while Miss S. Miller played. April 8th and April 29th are the days for the exchange of programs with the Lawrence Forum. The secretary having resigned, Miss Sallie Brown was made secretary. On next Sunday, March 18th, Miss Saunders and Mr. Cunnigan have charge of the program and Atty. Hueston, of Kansas City, Mo., will speak, and good music will be rendered. Prof. Curry gave a good critique. All are invited to attend next Sunday. SPECIAL SERMON FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH—DR. RAN- SOM TO PREACH SPECIAL SERMON AT SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE—MANY CON- VERTS FROM REVIVAL TO BE READ INTO THE CHURCH. Union revival services have been going on all of this week under the management of Dr. A. Gordon, of Texas, which without a doubt is the greatest evangelist of the age. A man of intellect and Christian piety. His sermons have wonderful power in convincing men and women they are standing near the brink of their own soul's calamity. Quite a number have been lead to see how close they had placed themselves to the edge of destruction and this great humanity rescuer has caused many to face about and take a step from seemingly death back to life's highway. Will Preach Special Sermon. Dr. Ransom will deliver a special sermon Sunday, it being a day set apart known as "Everybody Go to Church Sunday." When men, women and whole families, who seldom darken the door of God's house are expected to attend some church Many who once remembered the way to the house of David, but got in the path whose terminal was in the woods will come out of the brush next Sunday and find their way back to their once beloved home. The second quarterly meeting of this conference year was held Sunday by Presiding Elder Smith. Dr. Smith preached at the morning service to a large and appreciative audience. The evangelist, Dr. A. Gordon, preached the communion sermon at 3 p. m. when the church was packed. Many visiting ministers from the two cities were present. QUINDARO, KANS. Mrs. Harris of Leavenworth, spent Sunday with Mrs. Mollie Lewis. Mrs. Maraly Endicott is at her old home. She is one of the pioneers of Quindaro. Her eyesight has gone.

The annual Junior play will be given on Friday night, March 23 in the auditorium. The characters have been spending a great deal of time on this play and it promises to be the best that has been given up to this time. The play starts promptly at 8:15 and if you wish to enjoy it properly you should be there by 7 o'clock in order to get a good seat. Last year several scores of persons were turned away. The title of the play is, "The Finger of Scorn." Prof. King's general science class recently worked up some 23 different projects which were indeed practical and instructive. The students spent a great deal of time in working these up and should be commended for their splendid work. The general science classes of Miss Pinyon have been studying the Morse code. They were requested to write different messages on the board in the code. One boy wrote, "I love you," but he did not say who so we suppose he meant all of us. Mr. Charles Turner, a member of the Sophomore class, died Sunday. Charles was a very good boy and was well liked by his schoolmates and will be greatly missed. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. Sunday March 11, 1917. A large congregation assembled at this church at the Sunday morning service. Pastor Holmes preached from Matt. 10:29-30, "The hairs of our head are numbered." Visitors and members say it was a sublime sermon. Mr. Craft, field secretary of the National B. Y. P. U., spoke also, and several united with the church. At 8 p. m. the text was from 2nd Thess., "God's Plan for a Christian." It was a good sermon of spiritual advice. Five joined and the ordinary collection was about $70 and the pipe organ money was not yet counted. ST. JOHN, KANS. There is quite a snow-fall here. The farmers are all smiles. They say it is fine for their wheat. Lawyer E. P. Blakemore and Mr. Garrett, of Wichita, were Saturday visitors in our town. Miss Jessie M. Thomas returned home Saturday from Hutchinson. Rev. E. H.

Reaves in charge. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SPEND ETERNITY? ADVOCATE SUMNER NIGHT. "Sumner Night!" the name given to the night when Sumner High school puts on exhibition work from the various departments of the school, will be held in the Sumner building on March 30. In the afternoon of that day the Freshman class has arranged to give a special program for the students now in the Eighth grades of the city together with their respective teachers. This is one way the Freshmen have to introduce into the high school those who expect to be students here next year. The work of the various departments will be on exhibition beginning at noon of Friday, March 30, and will remain until Saturday morning. Patrons and friends of the school are invited to the evening program, at which time they may see some interesting demonstrations which several of the teachers are preparing for them. This is always Sumner's BIG NIGHT and the public is cordially invited. Program begins at 8 o'clock. Some of the furniture made in the night school will also be on exhibition "Sumner Night," Friday, March 30. HELENA DOCTOR SECURES PATENT DR. D. A. E. JOHNSON PERFECTS TYPEWRITER ATTACHMENT WHICH ATTRACTS ATTEN-TION. Clipped from the Helena World, Helena, Ark., a white daily of that city, issue of February 15th. The gentleman spoken of has a brother in Kansas City, Mo., Wm. Johnson, corresponding secretary of the Negro Business League of Greater Kansas City and is associated with the Afro-American Investment and Employment company, 1510 East Eighteenth street. Dr. D. A. E. Johnson, a Negro dentist of this city, has made application for a typewriter attachment which has attracted the attention of sales companies in the United States and Canada. One company offers the inventor $25,000 for the right to manufacture the attachment in Canada and $50,000 for the ownership of the device in Canada. Other concern, principally in the United States, offer attractive propositions for the control of the device in this country. The device is designed for attachment to any standard typewriter, and carries a roll of paper which is fod into the machine automatically. The operator tears off the written sheet when completed and proceeds with his work without the delay usually caused by taking one sheet out of the typewriter and inserting a fresh sheet. By an ingenius arrangement embodied in the device, a carbon strip can be inserted in the roll of paper so that duplicates can be made at will. Dr. Johnson began work on the device about three years ago. Since that time he has made various improvements. Letters patent were issued by the United States Patent Office on January 30th last, and the inventor is now seeking the backing necessary to manufacture his device and place it on the market. The attachment is very light and comparatively simple in construction and operation. Dr. Johnson says it can be sold profitably at ten dollars. The two little boys of Mr. and Mrs. Dillard on Everett have the whooping cough. Mrs. Colwell of Tonganoxie, Kas., brought her brother to Douglass hospital this week. ALONG THE LINE OF REASON. "Some things come to us, if we will cut wait long enough." Looking back through a number of years of short-cutting and depriving us of our rights, by our "Other Friends." Through all of which years a few of us, have continued to Protest against the wrongs committed, as well as contended for the rights denied. We at last, are much pleased to observe, that there seems to be a possibility of succeeding. I will not stop to count the many instances, in which, and by which, these protests and demands were made. Suffice it to say, that at all times, I great pull-back has been a lack of rest and cooperation on our part. It has been an extremely hard task to awaken ourselves, to the demands of duty, and the expediency of working as a unit; for the things that rightfully were ours to enjoy, but of which, we have been deprived. That much time and effort has been lost and wasted, by reason of these conditions, of our own making, is clear. And I doubt that I should put it just that way—but instead should say. "We have failed to receive much that could have been had by reason of the lack of Insistence, on our part." For, in truth and in fact, the time and energy spent by those of us, who were persistent through those years of Darkness and Privation; have proven to be an excellent investment. It has, perhaps, served to impress those who were in positions to exercise force and power to the advantage of their positions, and in some measure stimulated them to action. So that now, instead of a few apparently, struggling against great odds; trying to attain something. We have an active and unified effort along lines, to obtain good for ourselves. So it is fervently hoped that all—Preachers, laymen and all others, will become active, along with our supervisor of Negro schools, and see to it, that a Negro Truant officer is appointed, and that a kindergarten is established for our children. These are needed benefits that a few of us have earnestly tried through all these years to attain, but without success. But now, that we have been re-enforced—let's "On to the School Board" with Reason—in a football rush—and "Lay-on" until we succeed. "Speckfully Yourn," UNCER IKE BRADLEY. DON'T DO IT. VOTER. Be careful, colored voter, in taking stock in some of our professional politicians who are being paid daily to go about telling fixed-up stories about certain candidates if elected, would strike down the freedom and peaceful happiness of your home. There is but one candidate who stands for such rot and that one has been told you often through the columns of this paper and we print his name again here. C. B. Hewlett, "Segregation Candidate." Other candidates for mayor emphatically refused to entertain such un-Christian, inhuman policy. The Advocate is in a position to know all of the gentlemen who are seeking the mayoralty nomination and while the most of them, aside from the segregation candidate, are as clean and reliable citizens as the city has, none of them are bad, but we are frank to say some of them would come closer in giving us a fair deal than others. So it's to every colored voters interest to inquire something about their past records as toward their application with our people. Remember, The Advocate is not advising any one who they should support, but only calling your attention to be careful in allowing these paid politicians to poison your minds with false statements about any candidate. If you don't know the candidate personally ask someone who is not a walking delegate about what they know of these men's records toward us. And when you go in the booth vote according to your own convictions. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SPEND ETERNITY? VOTE FOR J. B. BROWN FOR PARK COMMISSIONER. PRIMARY MARCH 20TH. NO.29 "EVERYBODY GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY" "EVERYBODY GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY" MINISTERS WILL DELIVER SPECIAL SERMONS ON "EVERYBODY GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY." Sunday, the 18th, has been designated by all the colored churches in the city and neighboring churches, as "Everybody Go to Church Day." This day is set apart once a year when every being who has an opportunity and believes in Christian civilization is expected to attend church service at least once on this day at the church of their choice. The churches keep a record of the attendance on this special occasion and then compare it with former years, not as a matter of mere curiosity, but to be able if possible to discern what advancement if any the human family has made in the twelve months past, along religious inclination. It's an evident truth and a well known fact the people who frequently attend church or even are only known to go just once in a while, although they may not be professors, their citizenship is rated higher than those who are seldom to be seen in any religious service. The church of God is one house whose constitution never changes. It has stood for over two thousand years without even one amendment and is destined to stand throughout eternal ages. Some of the ministers who will deliver special sermons Sunday are: Revs. W. A. Bowren, First Baptist church; J. R. Ransom, First A. M. E. church; D. D. Jackson, Eighth Street Baptist church; D. A. Holmes, Metropolitan Baptist Temple; M. I. Warefield, Eighth street C. M. E. church; Geo. McNeal, Pleasant Green Baptist church; Rev. McMorris, Ninth Street M. E. church; Rev. Richardson, Mount Pleasant Baptist church; Rev. Clay King Solomon Baptist church, and Rev. T. F. Jones, Quindaro A. M. E. church. No one should withhold themselves from attending some of these church or any other house of worship on Sunday. Take your family to the church of preference. Let everybody avail themselves at least one Sunday in fifty-two in honoring God and his house by coming to His Temple. DR. REEVES FOR MEMBER BOARD OF EDUCATION. Dr. E. A. Reeves, one of Kansas City, Kansas,' popular and prominent physician is a candidate for Member Board of Education and it would be mildly saying that Dr. Reeves is as capable as any man in the city in furthering the progress of our school system. He is a college bred man, therefore has the interest of our educational development at heart. Dr. Reeves has been a resident of this city for more than 18 years and has been one of our foremost and successful practitioners for the past 14 years and has the honor at this time, of being president of the Wyandotte County Medical association. He is one of the big boosters for Kansas City, Kansas and was one of the captains and leading spirits in the recent campaign to increase the membership of the Mercantile club. Dr. Reeves would make a strong asset to our Board of Education and would be found at all times working for the greatest good for every school in the city. Junction City, Kansas, Mar. 14th, 1917 Greetings, Dear Editor: We wish to announce through your paper that Rev. C. R. Bruster has been called to pastor the Second Baptist church of Junction City.

We are shocked when the law or the lawless get hold of our boys or girls. The law in its execution is in the hands of other people than ourselves. They resort to law in many instances through fear and the realization of the fact that having the numbers and law they do not need to put up with the bad man of color. Being in the minority we cannot be unmindful that the actions of a few jeopardize the comfort of the many. It is our duty to reform the bad element or at least exercise some restraining force. The gangs must be broken up. When the colored man shares in the execution as well as obedience to the law we will not need to single him out, but until that time we, the colored people, must give more attention to improving the condition and conduct of our boys and girls, young men and women. Each man and woman should feel the duty of admonishing any child acting in the wrong way. No parent should become angry when the child has been corrected by another. For this is a fruitful source of trouble. A bad child backed by a sympathetic parent is headed for prison and the hangman's knot.

"Fritz" Pollard, whose wonderful playing on the gridiron last season brought national recognition and won a place for him on the roster of Walter Camp's All-American football team, believes in looking after his health. When the football season was over and the boys returned to study, lack of exercise and confinement, following the activities of a hard campaign, naturally reacted on the system and Pollard experiences a severe attack of constipation. When the bowels do not act regularly and the poisonous waste from the stomach remains to ferment and permeate the system, unless quickly remedied serious illness is very apt to follow. This condition is usually indicated by a feeling of fullness and bloat, belching or sour stomach, gases, slick headache, lassitude and general discomfort. The combination of simple laxative herbs and pepsin that can be bought in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is the most effective remedy known to quickly relieve a constipated condition. Pollard wrote to Dr. Caldwell: "After taking part in strenuous athletics I changed to indoor life and sedentary habits because of examinations, and the consequent lack of exercise brought on a severe attack of constipation. I used your Syrup Pepsin and found relief immediately. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has been our family stand-by for many years, especially for the children, and I am happy to let you know how much it has helped to keep me in good physical condition." Every family should keep a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in the house at all times, so that it will be on hand needed. It costs only fifty cents a bottle and can be obtained in drug stores. To avoid imitations and cheap substitutes be sure to get the genuine Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See that the portrait of the Doctor and his signature appear on the yellow carton in which the bottle is packed. A trial bottle, free of charge can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.

Five books, fiction or nonfiction, may henceforth be drawn on one card issued to an adult reader from the Chicago public library. This is to include all sorts of books, except the newest fiction, which is issued as before, only for a seven-day period, nonrenewable. "We do not expect, however, that there will be a noticeable increase in the number of books taken out according to this privilege," said Carl B. Boden, assistant librarian. "We are doing this merely as an incentive to the public to read more. The power of suggestion is more effectively than anything else in making the public read. For instance, one of the popular column conductors of a city newspaper will merely mention a certain book, and our librarians are swamped with requests for that book, no matter how abstruse or lengthy it is. No other book on the same subject will do."—Chicago News. Start of Phrenology. The first announcement made by Franz Joseph Gall regarding his system of phrenology was in an address delivered before his medical colleagues in Vienna just a century and a quarter ago. Gall was a native of Baden, but settled in Vienna in 1781 and began the practice of medicine in the Austrian capital. From his boyhood he had been interested in studying the craniums of his companions, and many observations and much study convinced him that the talents and dispositions of men may be inferred with perfect exactitude and precision from the external appearance of the skull. This theory he elaborated in many lectures, pamphlets and books, and soon gained many adherents in the scientific world. Office of Frank O'Hara Miller, Brig.

Guard Your Children Against Bowel Trouble Many children at an early age become constipated, and frequently serious consequences result. Not being able to realize his own condition, a child's bowels should be constantly watched, and a gentle laxative given when necessary. Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are especially well adapted to women and children. The Sisters of Christian Charity, 531 Charles St., Luzerne, Pa., who attend many cases of sickness say of them: "Some time ago we began using Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets and find that we like them very much. Their action is excellent, and we are grateful for having been made acquainted with them. We have had good results in every case and the Sisters are very much pleased." The form and flavor of any medicine is very important, no matter who is to take it. The taste and appearance are especially important when children are concerned. All parents know how hard it is to give the average child "medicine," even though the taste is partially disguised. In using Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets, however, this difficulty is overcome. The shape of the tablets, their appearance and candy-like taste at once appeal to any child, with the result that they are taken without objection. The rich chocolate flavor and absence of other taste, make Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets the ideal remedy for children. If the first box fails to benefit, the price is returned. Ask your druggist.
