It was received by the packed house with great enthusiasm. The last day's session. Thursday, finished their work with a joint session of the three great church bodies, closing in the evening with a talented musical, rendered by local and visiting representatives. There was hardly standing room in this commodious church. Dr. Jones, the popular and energetic pastor of this church, members and friends deserve untold credit, in the manner they so nobly took care of their guests. Nothing but praise could be heard for Dr. Jones and the Ft. Scott people. Rev. E. R.

Dr. Smith the (bishop) presiding elder of the Kansas Conference, makes a great executive head. Everything moved on time and in harmony. The reports showed in most respects that thee peerless times of high cost of living had not interefered with the workings of the church but very little.

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JUNE 22, 1917. A MAMMOTH CROWD TURNS OUT TWENTY-FIFTH THANKSGIVING B SERVICE OF KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TABOR. This service, of one of our largest orders, was held in the auditorium of the Metropolitan Temple Sunday June 17th, for the Jerusalem Baptist church. At the appointed hour the members, led by the Merchants' Band, formed a procession at their own hall, with the ladies fine drill corps leading, the tents following and hundreds of members and Knight proceeded to the temple. It was crowded from the dress circle to the balconies and into the streets. Sir James Downs acted as master of ceremonies, and the following program was rendered: Music, "Sing Praise," Jerusalem choir (quite pretty). Invocation, Sir Knight Williams. Music, choir. Remarks, Sir J. G. N. Soanes. Solo and chorus, choir. Invocation, Dr. P. Woodfork. Sermon, Rev. Sir W. M. Endyard. Remarks by C. M. of Wash. Temple. Song, Tabors' Band. words by Sir A. F. Wilson (very good), tune, Buelah Land. Remarks, "Patriotism," Elder D. A. Holmes. A silver offering of $57.55 was collected. This order is very strong and owns property in this and other cities. Its ritualistic work was written by Rev. Moses Dickson, now deceased. This was a great day for this order. The sermon was so spiritual and the program so good, it impressed others that they are proving their motto, "In solo deo salus," i. e., "In God alone is safety." THE TOPEKA DISTRICT CONFERENCE. Met in Junction City. Presiding Elder King with his pleasant smile and pleasant ways, in charge. But intensive work in papers and discussion amply made up. The Sunday school work under the leadership of Prof. Wade ranks high. There are many points in the system of management and reports that would be helpful to others. The A. C. E. L. meeting was intensely devotional. The reports show a growth. The churches are gradually awakening to great value of the Christian Endeavor. Mrs. Wade's talk on devotion holds an audience. Dr. Mickens of Salina, was a helpful visitor at the conference. The conference president of the A. C. E. L. was royally entertained. Each one is going home with a determination to do a little more for the church, his fellowman and God. THE OMAHA DISTRICT CONFERENCE Met in Allen Chapel A. M. E. church of Quindaro Tuesday morning. Presiding Elder Owens, a man who can count years but is mentally young and aggressive physically, remarkably strong in hope and faith, in aspiration, in the chair. His address was as he is, stirring and helpful. A good representative delegation was present. Rev. T. F. Jones and members had everything ready. The meals were meals. The Sunday school assembled under the efficient leadership of Miss Hattie Ingram, principal of Lincoln school, Leavenworth. She has the vision of better conditions and is helping herself and others to that end. All the papers were of high grade. The convention took a strong stand in favor of national prohibition. Each delegate is worthy of special mention, but space prevents. The A. C. E. L. work is on the increase. The minisers are getting B. E. on their minds and results are manifest. This is as it should be. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. The church was filed at the Sunday morning service and Dr. Griffin delivered a masterly sermon which was enjoyed and received by his usual appreciative audience. The evening service drew a fine house of worshippers. The pastor gave a short inspiring sermon, after which Mr. Gurmacee De Lowe of Bombay, India, gave a beautiful talk on his country. He has been in this country for several years studying methods and customs along progressive forms, within church and state that he might go back to his native country and impart it to his people. Next Sunday has been set apart as rally day, at which time two thousand dollars is expected to be raised. Seven joined the church.

But with $42,000 yet to go it will require some hustling to bring in the required amount by tomorrow night. The teams of solicitors, however are enthusiastic and they say without doubt the goal will be reached. Give Until it Hurts. The "Give Until it Hurts" slogan of the Red Cross donors was brought home in its full meaning tqday when an ancient negro, blind and dependent upon his sales of pencils and shoe-strings in the streets called at headquarters to give a dollar toward the fund for the care of wounde dsoldiers. "It's all I have today," the man told Dr. Clement Williams, manager of wards and precincts i the campaign. "If I take in any money this afternoon I will call again to morrow." Slammed Door in Faces. Two Argentine families slammed their doors in the faces of the Red Cross scolicitors. The action, Captain Kelley of the campaign crew believes, is the result of an attitude of ignorance of the real purpose of the fund, as exemplified by a freckle-faced boy of 11, who watched Kelley nail a Red Cross sign to an Argentine lamp post. "Hey, mister," the boy asked the solicitor, "When that war comin' off?" The incident resulted in instructions at the noon dinner of the Red Cross fund workers today, warning all solicitors to make a careful explanation the fund is for the relief of so'dlers, and to mention the war already in progress. Rural Wyandotte County in Line. Meetings were held last night in all of the townships of Wyandotte county at which the people gathered in large forces and announced their determination to do their full share and thus help to swell the fund. When reports are received Saturday night each township will have a report to make of the amount collected from the farmers and in the small towns. C. N. Prouty, chairman of the county council of defense, says the county respect will be surprising, as there is considerable rivalry to see which township will give most liberally. Movie Receipts to Relief Fund. The following is a list of the theaters that will give Friday night's receipts to the Red Cross: Miles theater, Thirty-first street and Strong avenue. Smith's theater, Twenty-third street and Metropolitan avenue. Vendome, Argentine boulevard and Osage avenue. West End Hippodrome, Boeke street and Osage avenue.

One of the striking contrasts that it has been ours to observe is that there is a class of white people that do not want colored people to build a church any where. Then there is another class of white people who will open the doors of their commodious building to the church-homeless-colored people in an entirely white district for a three days convention. There is no gainsaying that if this is a fair representation of the United Brethren church there is need of missionaries to make the United States of that denomination. A city council that will resort to condemnation proceedings to defeat the purposes of a church which has for its ultimate purpose better citizenship is sorely in need of the spirit of such a church. Then the residence situation of the city is such that all people live everywhere. So if the council will resort to that sort of procedure it has the advantage for any where the church is to be located it will be near some white people. If it is outside of the city it is near some white farmer. Such condemnation proceedings are unfair and a wrong use of power. They may not see it that way and as long as power is one-sided they mayl never see it, for they cannot put themselves in the other man's place. The white man has some things yet to learn. It is to be regretted that he is unaware of the subtle slavery that is binding him soul and body. The presence of a colored man at a soda fountain checks his drinking apparatus—a temporary paralysis of the throat. The same presence in a dining room destroys his appetite. The same presence in the darkness of a nickel show destroys his enjoyment of the pictures. The same presence in some of his churches is occasion for an immediate invitation for the devil to enter and his malicious majesty tarries always near. Such is the subtle imperceptable soul-destroying peace of mind disturbing Salina, poisoning muscle, distorting rest, breaking slavery that is creeping into the homes of the family circle of some white people. Thank God! Only some white people! Though they for the time being may have the power in their hands. There are good white people who have not as yet made themselves oppressively known. They will be heard. They need encouragement. Their's is consciously or unconsciously a conspiracy of silence. They may be whispering of fair play. They may utter a timid voice of protest in a white conversation but the need of the hour, an outspoken utterance. The demand of the hour is for democracy of justice for all. Let all men espouse the cause of right and we shall have a happier world to live in.

Her helpers to solicit are: Misses Leona Green, Octavia Carroll, and Hortense Flower. Some to get large sums trespassed into 'others' precincts. Our mall clerks' money, which is paid to the P. O., ought to be credited indirectly to the colored fund. BATTLESHIP ANCHORED Vacation time visitors to New York City this summer will find a new point of interest on Broadway. At the corner of Fourteenth street in Union Square in one of the busiest section of all Manhattan, there has been placed a perfect replica of a modern dreadnaught. It has been constructed in the center of the park and looks aall the world as if it had just arrived in port. The ship, which has been named the "Recruit," was built through the efforts of Mayor Mitchel's defense committee and the contributions of patriotic citizens. On Memariol Day, with appropriate and imposing launching ceremonies, it was turned over by Mayor Mitchel to Admiral Usher for the use of the navy in recruiting. The ship is manned by 30 seamen from the training station at Newport, R. I., and is in command of officers of the navy. It is being used exclusively for recruiting and events that will stimulate enlisting. All day long speeches are made to the crowd of onlookers while on the main deck men are given information, and, after qualifying, are passed on to the examining surgeons who have offices aboard. The turrets are mounted with guns of wood that are very formidable looking, while the fighting masts and several genuine machine guns add to the realism. The bridge is equipped with searchlights, signals, semaphores which are worked every night. The complete routine of the ship life is carried out and throughout the day and night the "Recruit" is surrounded by a crowd of interested watchers. Band concerts are given nearly every night and motion pictures of navy training and the opportunity it presents to young men are flashed on a screen every night. It is planned to have a number of interesting events occur on deck every evening. John Philip Sousa, who has just serve is to make his first outdoor appearance in New York as an officer band master aboard the Recruit, directing the navy yard band. Last been made a lieutenant in the naval week nearly 300 young men who had been enlisted at the New York recruiting stations gathered on the deck of the Recruit before leaving for the training station at Newport. Here they weer addressed by Monsigneur Lavelle, representing Cardinal Farley. The funeral of Mrs. Clara Hickles was held June 16 from the C. M. E. church. Mr. Fisto, 628 Rowland avenue, who has been very sick is now able to be at work again. THE ADVOCATE DELIVERED AT YOUR DOOR EVERY WEEK FOR ONLY 15c PER MONTH. NOTICE.

WAHLENMAIER REFRACTING EYE SPECIALIST 746 Minnesota Ave. Kansas City, Kansas PROVE R HAIR R HAIR IS KINKY, NAPPY MARIS URALL "Anaemia--Lack of Iron--Is Greatest Curse To Health and Beauty of American Women" Says Dr. Ferdinand King, New York Physician and Medical Author Any Woman Who Tires Easily, Is Nervous or Irritable, or Looks Pale, Haggard and Worn, Should Have Her Blood Examined for Iron Deficiency. Administration of Nuxated Iron Will Increase the Strength and Endurance of Weak, Nervous, Careworn Women 100 Per Cent in Two Weeks' Time in Many Instances. THE CHILD'S APPEAL The Tombstone Journey through the world "Mother, why don't you take NUXATED IRON and be strong and well and have nice rosy cheeks, instead of being so nervous and irritable all the time and looking so haggard and old. The doctor gave some to Susie Smith's mother and she was worse off than you are, and now she looks just fine." "There can be no healthy, beautiful, rosy-cheeked women without iron," says Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author. "In my recent talks to physicians on the grave and serious consequences of iron deficiency in the blood of American women I have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more organic iron — nuxedal iron — for their nervous, run-down, weak, haggard-looking women patients. Pallor means anaemia. The skin of an anaemic woman is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails, and often by the time the woman is table, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks." "In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, our vegetable corn meal, and longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe, the waters in food impregnated corn meal are cooked are responsible for another grave iron loss." "Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food impregnated corn meal are responsible for another grave iron loss." "As I have said a hundred times over organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxated iron when they feel weak or run."

Heart Disease Almost Fatal to Young Girl 'My daughter, when thirteen years old, was stricken with heart trouble. She was so bad we had to place her bed near a window so she could get her breath.

The real and true cause which started their disease was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by a lack of iron in the blood. On account of the peculiar nature of woman, and the great drain placed upon her system at certain periods, she requires iron much more than man to help make up for the loss. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sticky looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next, take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxed iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much or how many ruined people who were alling in the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles, in from ten to fourteen years. Then test your strength in the paper form. And this, after thirty some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate, or tincture of iron, simply to save a few dollars.

I have used Nuxurated iron widely in my own practice in most severe aggravated conditions with unfailing results. I have induced many other physicians to give it a trial, all of whom have given me most surprising reports in regard to its great power as a health and strength builder. Many an athlete and prize fighter has won the day simply because he know the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray; while many another has gone down in inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron. Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City, said: "I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication, as I ordinarily do not believe in it. But so many American women suffer from iron deficiency, with its attendant ill-ness, physical weakness, nervous irritability, mal- ancholy, indigestion, flabby, sagging muscles, etc., etc.—and in consequence of their weakened, run-down condition they are so liable to contract serious and even fatal diseases, that I deem it my duty to advise all such to take Nuxated Iron. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish quickly to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy." NOTE—Nuxated Iron, which is prescribed and recommended by most doctors, is a potent medicine, a variety of cause, is not a pretentious medicine or a remedy but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed. Unlike the order nuxagenic iron products, it is easily amassed, does not injure the teeth, make trays or is a most potent remedy to nearly all forms of indigestion as well as for nervous, run- great confidence in nurtured from that they offer to forrest $100.00 to any chantable institution if they cannot take any advice.

RUSSIAN WOMEN TO WAR Wearing Regulation Uniforms Regiment Will Go to Front in Two Weeks Petrograd, June 21.—A regiment of women under Vuilcharkoll will leave for the front within two weeks and will take over a large part of the fighting front in the Minsk sector. The members of the regiment are from 18 to 25 years old. They are drilling nine hours daily. The unit is called "The Command of Death." The women wear regulation uniforms and carry regulation equipment. In the region of Komsk, west of Siberia, martial law was proclaimed today. Twenty were killed. DOG FOILED PLOT TO BLOW UP WATER PLANT GUARDS, AROUSED BY BARKING, FIRED AND PUT GANG TO ROUT Portland, Me., June 21.—An attempt was made early today to blow up the city's water supply at Sebago lake, 20 miles from here, by two men who were fired upon by two guards in charge of the plant. The men escaped, in an automobile in which were two other men, in the direction of Ossinbee, N. H. The barking of a dog near the water works attracted the attention of William S. Libby, one of the guards, and he notified D. H. Fursh, the other guard. Hurrying toward the water gate, they saw the two running toward the woods. According to the police, the attempt to blow up the water works was a sequel to the visit of the mysterious airplane which flew over the works Tuesday night. One guard said the machine was so low at the time he could hear the two men in it talking. SUFFS START RIOT SAVED BY POLICE MISSOURI WOMAN SNATCHED THE HATED BANNER FROM LEADER. Washington, June 21.—The third and most serious riot at the White House gates caused by the display of suffrage banners occurred this afternoon. Police were called out to protect the women, who were roughly handled by the crowd of women and boys who collected to see that no repetition of yesterday's hoisting of advertising President Wilson and Envoy Root occurred. Informed by the suffragists another attempt would be made to raise the banner announcing "The United States is not a Democracy,' the crowd did not wait for the actual commission of the act, but rushed upon the women, attacking the regular "silent pickets." Mrs. D. W. Richardson of Missouri, seized the purple, white and gold banner from the hands of Katherine Hcacock of Cleveland. Two small boys in turn, took the sign while the remainder of the crowd turned their attention to Miss Hcacock, who had held it. Mrs. James Stafford, 405 State, has returned from Emporia where she visited friends for several days. Mr. Jenkins, near Ninth and Freeman, is still very sick.

I. F. BRADLEY, Attorney for the Pliff. (First published June 15, 1917.) DR. FREDERIC JAGOBSON SAYS, 75% OF WOMEN NEED PHOSPHATES TO GIVE THEM STRONG, HEALTHY, ROUNDED FIGURE AND TO AVOID NERVOUS BREAK DOWN. THOUSANDS OF WOMEN GROW STRONG IN NATURE'S WAY. "CONSIDER THE LILIES OF THE FIELD, HOW THEY GROW." The life of the lily is but a few weeks or months. The life of man is "three score years and ten." But to live one's life in its fullness, women like the lily, must be nourished by those same vital elements which nature provides for nourishing every living thing; and these include the valuable phosphate so often lacking in the usual food we eat today. Argo-Phosphate is rich in these wonderful elements. It contains them in concentrated tablet form which is easy to take and quickly assimilated and absorbed into the system, and from youth to old age, builds and rebuilds body and brain in beautiful harmony with Nature's perfect plan. "That's why" Argo-Phosphate makes good solid flesh and muscles. SPECIAL NOTICE: Argo-Phosphate contains the Natural phosphates which thousands of physicians are prescribing daily to build up thin, pale, colorless women to give them rosy cheeks, red lips, and a beautiful complexion. Many cases have been reported where women have increased their weight from 15 to 25 pounds with a few weeks treatment, and any woman who desires a well rounded and developed form, should secure from her druggist, this new drug which is inexpensive and is dispensed by any reliable druggist with or without a doctor's prescription. If your drugist will not supply you, send $1.00 to the Argo Laboratories, 10 Forsyth St., Atlanta, Ga., and they will send you a two weeks treatment by return mail.

S. in His Great Work. The people of Kansas City, Kas., are going to have an opportunity to show their patriotism by taking a hand in helping Uncle Sam to solve the problem of conserving the food supply for this nation and its Allies. This city did nobly in helping Uncle Sam to fill his war chest by buy- ing Liberty Bonds. . P ‘The people also are doing themselves proud this week hy giving money to the $100,000,000 fund which is to provide the relief for the soldiers and war victims which is not provided for by army and navy boards, or by government appropriations, Now the people of Kansas City, Kas. are to be asked to do some- thing else that is big and grand and patriotic. The Globe is in receipt of a letter from Herbert C. Hoover, who has been placed by President Wilson at the head of the food service de- partment, in which he proposes a plan, through the press and pulpit, to enlist the co-operation of the people in a great food conservation-plan of work. Tn his letter to this paper, which came by today’s mail, Mr. Hoover says, in part: Asks Ministers to Preach It. “There will be mailed to every ministef whose name I can secure a personal letter over my signature asking him to preach upon the sub- ject of Food Conservation on Sun- day, July 1. In the same letter, I shall express the hope that this day will become known as ‘Food Saving Day, and that it may be made the purpose and motto of every house- bold in America to Save the Waste and Win the War.” Mr. Hooyer points out that it is necessary to enlist the civic, frater- nal, patriotic and other organizations in Kansas City, Kas., in'an effort to make “Food Saving Day” really ef- fective in conserving the food supply for the United States and the Allies and “in reducing the cost of living to our own people.” . ‘ “Food Saving Day.” Ministers of Kansas City, Kas., who have shown their patriotism in the present war crisis in ways that make them true Americans and interested | in all that is good for humanity, are to take up Mr. Hoover’s suggestions, and from their pulpits on Sunday, July 1 they will preach the sound gospel of conservation which the peo- ple need to hear. It is expected that other means will be taken here to arouse the pco- pie to the necessity of doing some- thing along the line of conservation, but that is a matter for future plan- ning, It is Mr. Hoover’s theory that scme great move must be made by the government and made quickly, that will not only conserve the sup- ply of food but will put an end to the cornering of food by speculators and gamblers which has put prices on nearly every article of food so high that the ordinary staple articles become luxuries in most of the homes in the nation—prices that are: even higher here thap in war-rent Europe. Ce-operation Will Solve Problem, It is Mr. Hooyer’s belief that, backed by the people themselves ia this great conservation movement, more can be accomplished by volun- teer effort than that through legisla- tion by Congress and by state legis- latures.
