TWELVE MONTHS $1 50 PRESIDENT WILSON MAKES UTTERANCE OF LONG EXPECTATION In a speech President Wilson made some days ago in Buffalo New York, he made utterance of some things the colored people of this nation and also many whites have been waiting patiently seemingly for ages for him to say. The words which follow bring untold relief to twelve million Negroes. Therefore, my counsel to you is this: Let us show ourselves Americans by showing that we do not want to go off in separate camps or groups by ourselves, but that we want to cooperate with all other classes and all other groups in a common enterprise, which is to release the spirits of the world from bondage. "I would be willing to set that up say the final test of American. That is the meaning of democracy. I have been very much distressed, my fellow citizens, by some of the things that have happened recently. The mob spirit is displaying itself here and there in this country. I have sympathy with what some men are saying, but I have no sympathy with the men that take their punishment into their own hands, and I want to say to every man who does join such a mob that I do not recognize him as worthy of the free institutions of the United States . . . And so I want to utter my earnest protest against any manifestation of the spirit of lawlessness anywhere or in any cause. What It Means. "Why, gentlemen, look what it means: We claim to be the greatest democratic people in the world, and democracy means, first of all, that we can govern ourselves. If our men have not self-control, then, they are not capable of that great thing which we call democratic government. A man who takes the law into his hands is not the right man to co-operate in any institution." Hereafter all leaders of mobs and lynchers must know that they are not worthy to be American citizens and they are fast moving to that time when you can all say, Bums: Then let us pray, that come it may, as come it must, for a that. As that man to man, the wide world over, Will brothers be, for a that." CITY OFFICIALS MUST HOLMES. CLEAN, SAYS MAJOR HOLMES. In our home guards we have about 700, of which two companies are colored, which were sworn in some four months ago, with a full set of officers, and have been drilling twice a week, paying rent for a hall on Ninth street from their own pockets. Some weeks ago the city officials voted out of its funds, which is built up from the taxpayers of the city, $7,000 to uniform the white guards, and the colored guards were left out. Now D. A Holmes, major of this battalion, wants to know why the colored guards were overlooked in a crisis like this, and when he interviewed the powers to be many excuses were given as to why they could not uniform the boys, although the colored taxpayers help uniform the whites. And still they would expect the colored boys to give the same service in protecting the homes of curb citizens as their own uniformed guards. Major Holmes finally got a hearing this week before the board of commissioners and in his plain and concrete words there must be no side stepping at a time like this and they must come clean with his battalion, and that at once. The commissioners agreed to act on the matter at once and gave him to understand that the two colored companies would be taken care of room. A beautiful and quiet home wedding took place last Thursday, 21st, at 343 Freeman avenue. The contracting parties were Mr. Presley Younger and Mrs. Dora Maddux. The bride is one of the popular women of a large circle in Kansas City, Kansas, and is known as an active worker of the First A. M. E. church, and is a member of several church clubs. The groom is one of the city's well known citizens, being for many years one of its best policemen, and has been for the past two years one of the city's most dependable welfare officers. He is also a prominent member and trustee of First A. M. E. church. The immediate relatives and a few intimate friends were the only ones present. Dr. J. F Griffin, their pastor, officiated. They are at home in their new beautiful bungalow on Freeman avenue. The Advocate extends happy congratulations. DIES AT THE AGE OF SIX SCORE YEARS OLDEST PERSON IN OKLAHOMA DIES Famillar Character About Streets of Tulsa Dies at Pine Old Age Tulsa, Dale at Apex Old Age. Tulsa, Okla.-Ben Greenlee, colored, age 120 years, died at his home in the Gurley Hill addition, Wednesday morning after an illness of a few days.

A BEAUTIFUL CHURCH WEDDING On Tuesday evening, November 27, a beautiful church wedding was solemnized at 8 o'clock at the First A. M. E. church, at the corner of Elgigh and Nebraska avenue. The marriage parties were Rev. Jordan Allen of this city and Mrs. Susie Lewis of Fort Scott, Kansas. The ceremony was solemnly and firmly performed by Dr. J. F. Griffin, Mrs. Leata Miller played the wedding march, the bride coming in from the northwest, vestibule while the groom camp in from the southwest entrance, each keeping step with the strains of music, marching down the north and south alces until they met in front of the rostrum, where the minister awaited them. The bride was gowned in beautiful light silk with heavy silk lace vell and carried a large bouquet of brides roses. The groom wore the customary black with white gloves. After the ceremony the newly weds were driven in a taxi to the groom's beautiful home, 2006 North. Ninth street, where a fine reception took place and plenty of delicacies were served. Many fine and valuable presents were received from their many friends, both in and out of the city. The out of town guests were Mrs. Sarah Sawyer and Mrs. W. L. Allison of Fort Scott, Kans., daughter of Mrs. Allen; Miss Jessie Brown, Fort Scott, and Mrs. Mattie Patterson of Klingfisher Okla., niece of Mr. Allen. A number of ministers of the Ministerial Alliance of the two cities, of which the Reverend is a member, were present. While this was not either their first craft to launch, but no less did the confiding love and affection seem to exist. May their future days be happy ones, is the wish of The Advocate. SUMNER HIGH NOTES By Mervin Harris. Miss Clifford's English III classes are studying Dickens' "Tale' of Twp Cities." This year Sumner has its first football team in many years. The third game of the season was played last Thursday against Lincoln High school. When it comes to winning games old Dane Fate seems to be against Sumner. We have had baseball teams and to our chagrin and dismay but to the opponents joy fate has decided against us at most of the games. But in spite of grim defeat, time and again, Sumner has kept her fighting spirit with dogged tenacity, her determination to never give up. After all it is not the victory or the defeat in a game that counts most, it is that which is gotten out of the game. The joy of victory lasts but a few days then fades into the past and becomes only one of our many memories. Defeat and constant defeat hardens one's mind to that one particular and when in life defeat stares one in the face experiences of his previous defeats strengthen his determination because he has met defeat and at play and can now look defeat in the face unfinishingly. Misses Mildred Welton, Maude Allen and Ella Neely are spending their Thanksgiving vacation in Emporia. Miss Welton and Miss Allen are guests of Miss Welton's mother, Miss Neely being the guest of Miss Kally. PULLMAN GIRLS GIVE SPREAD. The Pullman ladies of the Terminal gave a high noon surprise dinner November 24 in honor of Mrs. Mattie Drake and Mrs. P. A. Shelton. There were 26 of these lady employees present. An elaborate spread was served on the spotless linen, which was decorated with grapes and peaches. The menu was chicken with dressing, ham, fish, real loaf, cranberry jelly, beets, mashed potatoes, spaghetti, caramels and assorted cakes. On December 4th the Ministerial Alliance will meet at the First Baptist church, Oakland and Nebraska avenue.

The riot started when a guard reprimanded a Negro at the supper hour. The Negro overpowered the guard and it was then that the 600 Negroes in the dining room made an effort to kill the guard. Other guards rushed to the dining room and it was only after the shooting that order was restored. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. "The language of a philosopher divine," was the subject of the text taken by Rev. W. A. Bowren, pastor of the First Baptist Sunday morning! Rev. Bowren delivered his message to his people with his usual emphasis, striking smiles and forceful metaphors. It made us all feel a deeper respect for the afflictions of Job, and his renamed patience. It also brought home to us the fact that all our afflictions are not for some sin of the body, but frequently because God loves us and is testing our love and faith in Him. On the whole it was indeed a very instructive sermon. The ordinations of the two new deacons, Seruggs and Washington, was well attended by all the churches except their pastors. The absence of the pastors was for good reason, however, and we thank the Rev. Jackson and those visiting deacons for their presence and assistance in the ordination. Do not forget to attend the prayerband meetings every Wednesday night at 3 o'clock and every Sunday evening from 7:30 to 8 o'clock. Brother Joe Collins is the prayerband leader and he and the members are doing some real-effective work. The collection have been good, but let us see to it that they are better now that the end of the year is so near. Everybody is always welcome at First Baptist. We are pleased to have you attend all the services there. EIGHTH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH—DR., D. B. JACKSON IS DOING THINGS. The Eighth Street Baptist church at the corner of Eighth and Oakland which was a beauty in few months ago, only to be destroyed by fire in early spring, under their great leader and shepherd, Dr. Jackson, have started her walls back heavenward. The corner stone was laid Sunday, the 18th, with a great sermon by Rev. J. R. Richardson. The Ministerial Alliance of Greater Kansas City performed the ceremony in laying the corner stone, something that has probably never occurred before here among the churches in having a 'church organization do that part of the work. It surely ought to be done well. The Sewing Circle is doing splendid work and just recently contributed nearly $40 to the church fund. The B. Y. P. U. is doing good work and also the Young People's Social club. Miss Orpheus Scott, its president, deserves much credit. Everybody seems to be working in the Eighth Street Baptist church.' The Ladies' Pleasant Seekers and Art Club entertained their husbands with a furkey dinner at teh residence of Mrs. Dilbert, 630 Trump, Wednesday, November 21. A most delightful evening was enjoyed and the hostess displayed her ability as an entertainer. Five hundred voices, an orchestra of 75 pieces will assist Roland Hayes at Convention Hall December 7th. Prices 50, 35, 25 and 15 cents. Help our colored soldiers. i.e. WILBERFORCE IS RECEIPT OF LARGE GIFT Wilberforce, O.—It is announced that Wilberforce University has come into possession of $30,000 from the Avery Estate of Pittsburgh, for endowment' purposes. This generous benefaction came through the efforts of Dr. Scarborough, president of the university, who expects to make the endowment fund $100,000 before stopping. 'RAH FOR ED LITTLE. The Daily Guard, Council Grove: Congressman Ed Little of the Second Kansas district who is in his first term is aming our Congressman Doolittle look more and more a pliker. In the campaign last year when we said Doolittle is a two-bourn and not half big enough to properly represent this district, it was said we should wait, wait, until Doolittle had been in Congress; longer and he would make a better showing. But he had already been there four years and not one time did his head get above the horizon. Congressman Little has ability and really represents his district. When he talks somebody listens because he is a thinker, a doer, has something of his own to say and to do. Part of his great speech on war taxation is now going the rounds. CITIENS' FORUM, YOUNG PEOPLE'S Day, NOV. 25. PLE'S Day, NOV. 25. The Forum on this date had a large audience but not so many as on Women's Day. Quite a number of pupils and young people were present. President Buster had Mr. Mandey give the invocation, then, after America was sung, came quotations, then current events led by Roy Garvin. The rest of the program was: Chorus, Summer Glee club, with Miss N.Eeley at the piano. The High School Orchestra made its debut by playing Mason's Grand March. The main feature of the program was the address of Prof. M. E. Pearson, superintendent of the Kansas City, Kansas, public schools, on What Are We? The main thoughts were: We are super-animals subject to the law of God. Boys and girls ought to take good care of their bodies by proper diet in eating, proper exercise and proper morals. We don't do much in life unless we cultivate the mind by feeding it on wholesome thoughts. He said: "The Forum is one of the best places to feed the mind mentally, and a beautiful church like this in which you meet today, is a fine place for feeding the mind spiritually. Man's higher nature needs to substitute the law of love." His address was very, very good, He is also very kind to many of our people. The semi-chorus, "In Spanish," was next rendered by the Glee club. Prof. H. Dwigglens, Mr. P. Gardner, Mr. Manley, Prof. J.I. P. King and Prof. A.J. Neeley talked after the address. Prof. Pearson made a fine reply as a climax to his valuable message. The orchestra, with Miss L. Thompson on the piano, then played, and a harp solo was rendered by Mr. Massey of Kansas City, Mo, which received an ovation and encore, and he responded with the beautiful hymn, "Abide With Me," and variations. For December 2nd Hom. Nelson Crews, the natural noted orator, and a fine musical program was announced. The critic reported fine. The closing music was "The Soldiers' Farewell" and Star Spangled Banner. Prct. Reynolds had charge of all musical numbers except the harp solo. All are invited to attend the Forum from 4 to 8 p. m. It is the largest and best place for promoting race culture of our race than any organization in Greater Kansas City and its suburbs. MRS. M. C. MMTHEWS, Pub. Com.

Thompson, California, Representative, National Comfort Committee for Colored Soldiers, Refutes Statement That Race Film Company is Controlled by Whites. Los Angeles, Calif., Nov. 30,—(Special to Advocate.)—Owing to the general impression in various localities that because of the superb productions, the self-made standard, the ability to produce high class productions; the immense success of the Lincoln Films and the fact that the leading characters have been used in the production of the best pictures of today with the biggest firms in the world, that the Lincoln Motion Picture Co., Inc., of this city is owned and controlled by white financiers with the management in the hands of Race members, is entirely refuted by the following statement and copy of telegram sent by Mr. Thompson: November 18. Washington, D. C. Have investigated claims of the Lincoln Motion Picture Co., Los Angeles. Find them prepared to make excellent motion pictures. Directors and majority of stockholders are patriotic colored men and women. (Signed) NOAH D. THOMPSON. 1711 East 55th St., Los Angeles, Calif.

II 21-24 In the beginning, God our Father, His omnipotence displayed: First created earth and Heaven Then all living creatures made. After six days, and while resting, Pond'ring o'er His wondrous plan He to make His work effective, Spoke and said, "Let us make man." Let us make him in our image, Of the dust and give him fame: And to all the living creatures We will let him give a name. As they all came out before him, All around and at his feet, Adam saw not one among them None were good for his help-meet God caused sleep to fall on Adam And he took out of the man A rib, from which he made woman And 'twas thus, our sex began. Therefore, shall a man leave parents And shall cleave unto his wife: Not just a year or longer But unto her all through life. Thus the origin of woman, Thus before the first man stood: And tho' tempted first with evil, Later, overcome with good. For our Mother Eve then knew not What great trials awaived her. How her seed would live thro' ages Many blessings to confer. The' for years they kept her sex back. As inferior in men's view. They're almost emancipated And do most all men can do. We can grasp all higher learning Just as quick and are as bright! And in many things for future! Have a true and first insight. We have lawyers, doctors, nurses, Clerks and merchants, teachers, too! Artists, pharmacists and barbers, Chaufeurs and more trades in view. And to us was given the honor Birth of King Emanuel: Also, first at Christ's Sepulchre, Resurrection news to tell. We're first in most Christian movements Our great throngs in churches, note. And at last in many countries We have gained the right to vote. Who first started Temprance movement? To help in man's greatest woe? Twas a woman, Frances Willard, First attacked man's greatest foe. Those of us who now inherit Property by oath or vow, Show that we can hold our estates Good as men, or better, now. Sisters, let us keep on striving For our rights on questions vexed And show that instead of weaker We have stronger intellects. Don't give up, tho' some still try to Keep us back and undertrod And while they sin, by us fighting We'll out-number them for God. Then, in that great day of Judgment Christ will give His great command, "These are they who've won over trials, Women, sit at My right hand! Read by Mrs. M. C. Matthews at the Women's Day program at the Forum at Metropolitan Temple November 18, 1817.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CHRISTIAN` ENDEAVOR. G. A Gregg, Pres. Kansas and Nebraska Topic—"Self-Control" This is a personal topic. These are times that demand it. These are fearful moments through which We are passing. Men are studying destruction. Human life is not valued as it ought to be. Men are studying to kill. They are sensitive. We must take ourselves in hand. Offenses must not be given. Our motives will be misunderstood. We must keep sweet, knowing full well that we are in the right. The topsyturvy state of the world needs a governor, a balancing power. The individual who cultivates and develops self-control is and will conceive to be the hero of the hour. It is tested when for color only men are mistreated. It is tested when those who in civil affairs have been elected to positions of power but do not act. It is tested when those who espouse the cause of righteousness and then hate their brother. It is tested in our home life. In the business of the day. Yes, every moment calls for palpitation control of our bodies and their every part of our minds in their various operations. Tubes are and will be many external causes that will test our power of self-control but the most subtle are the mental nursing. The mind works. It creates. Its creations may not agree with fact. Feelings lead to action whether based upon fact or fiction. Well may we constantly pray, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable unto Thee, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer." God is the source of self-control. Let us strive constantly to be like Him. Many men have been greatly misunderstood. They exercised self-control. Self-control is polite. It is equilibrium. It is courage. It is power. There can be, no greater cause of regret than to lose one's head. Paul feared that after he had lead and instructed others he might become a castray. He who deals with physical power fully realises that he must keep steam, electricity, gas, dynamite under constant and absolute control. It is doubly so with man. It is so with you. It is so with me. We are the greatest source of power on earth. All other is but our instrument. May each Endeavor learn much from this study. BIBLE. CLASS. Some who enjoy studying the Bible met at Mrs. Greene's Wednesday Before Thanksgiving with the Neighborhood Bible leader and read Titus, 1st Chap.

Whereas, Our all wise Father, and Supreme Head of the mystical body which includes all true Christians, has summoned dear Brother Charles Gardner's spirit from long suffering and illness of the mortal body, and Whereas, It is according to His word that the corruptible body must die and return to dust, be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Neighborhood Bible class, bow to His desire; also Resolved. That we strive to rejoice instead of weep, at the freedom of a saved soul from his prison of clay. Although we will miss him, we will always remember his Christian responses, which showed his true belief in God's wonderful plan of salvation. And that it is God's preogative, if we fully trust Him, to make us alive forever, after passing through the "valley and shadow of death." Resolved, That we present a floral memento to the living relatives, and advise with the faithful wife and faithful, sons and other relatives to look on the bright side and remember "That God giveth and God taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." We know he now knows the full meaning of his favorite song, "God Will Take Care of You," which he used to love so well to hear the Bible class sing. And since God has transformed his mortal body into one resembling His own, he is now around His throne singing, "God has taken care of me." ORIGINAL POEM FOR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS. Weep not for the dear departed And let not tears your eyes dim, He has gone no more to suffer, God has taken care of him. If you trust Him in life's journey, Not awhile, but all way through, You'll receive the grace to conquer And "God will take care of you." Wife, keep up your Christian courage, Also sons, who love God, too. Help to gain those who don't trust Him And God will take care of you. Hear his last words when departing "Well, I will give up the ghost; I am fighting for a captain Who a battle never lost." And if any of you stray, Turn to Christ, He loves you, 100 REPORT OF CLASS LEADERS NOV. 29TH. QUINDARO, KANS.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. At 11 a.m. Pastor Holmes of this church preached a powerful sermon and was rewarded by additions to the church. In the afternoon Superintendent M. E. Pearson addressed the Citizens' Forum which had a large audience in the auditorium. At 7:45 p.m. the pastor preached a fine sermon on "The Sinking Ship" and Prof. J. R. Lee, principal of Lincoln High school, Kansas City, Ma., made a fine talk. At its close Pastor Holmes was presented two checks by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, given to her by ex-Senator B. P. Waggoner of Atchison, and Mr. Holzmark, amounting to $20, making her individual work (alone) over $66, and with about $30 from club members made her over $96 for Kansas and over $4 yet promised. She was greatly applauded. She had no socials nor raffles and is said by many to be the best solicitor of males or females in the city and has received more checks from governors, bankers, etc., than any of her church. Rev. Holmes extolled her work. Missouri went from $7 to $90. Kansas will perhaps stop soliciting, and that will close the race. Prof. Lee praised the church edifice, the choir, the congregation and the people of Kansas City, Kansas, as a whole. The ordinary collection was over $75.

Secrets of Health and Happiness "Auto-Serum" the Newest Way to Treat St. Vitus Dance BY LEONARD KEENE HIRSHBERG A.B. M.A. M.D. (Johns Hopkins University) MELANCHOLY days are here, the saddest of the year for children, if the bacteria of chorea or St. Vitus dance penetrates their blood, lymph and spinal fluid. Then may the little victims believe that there is no balm in Gilead. While chorea or St. Vitus dance occurs in the autumn and early spring more often than at any other season, winter and summer also have their victims. The twitchy, nervous, jerky movements of the hands, neck and extremities of the infected child induces some mothers recklessly to give almost any "physic that is olter to sweet end." Modern discoveries, however, bid parents say, "Out, Hated potion, heme!" SHALL not soon forget the day I moved from the Brennan house on the outskirts of the little village of Marvin to the home Dicky had bought for the principal streets of the knauttown of town. As I look back on it it seems like a 24-hour nightmare, for it took us the whole of that time to make good our promise to get every bit of our household goods from the Brennan by noun, the time our expedition. The worst part of the work, of course, was Dicky's "collection," of old books and periodicals. Because the movers had disappointed us, the time of Jim, bur man of all work, was taken up with another, by means of the horse and wagon he had secured, Katie was busy with the thousand and one little dogmatic details of moving day, so Dicky's "collection" was left to the tender merries of William Trumbull, the half-witted old villager, who had dog-like ears and a long, scaly coat. He had ordered dozens of sheets of heavy wrapping paper, as many small boxes as I could persuade the grocer to sell, and an abundance of strong cord. Enveloping myself in a dust cap and apron, and pulling on an old pair of loose gloves, I worked vigorously putting the magazines and books into the dustpan, bringing William to the house, his pushe and a trundle through ankle-deep mind to the other house. It was when I had finished the task and had turned to the files of newspapers that my heart almost failed me—there were so many of them! Dicky saved magazine sections from almost every big newspaper in the country, and with that one day he destroyed, saying that some day he meant to clip and file them, and that he then would have one of the most valuable collections of clippings extant. But I had lived with Dicky long enough to realize that the day of filing and clipping would never come. "Folks All Excited." However, I had promised him to send them all over without the loss of a single one, and I wrestled with the mass—I almost wrote mess—with a growing feeling of nervousness, and a headache, that, beginning mildly, threatened to Secrets of Health "Auto-Serum" Way to Treat S By DR.

Hated potion, hea Vitus dance is known to be du preference for the spinal fluid, the muscg plasma and nerve fibers. Its microbes find their way from the tonsils or other vestibules into the blood, joints, heart cusps, lymph and spinal fluid. Fever is also present in this distemper. Method of Treatment. Like typhoid, St. Vitus dance has an average duration of six weeks or thereabouts. The treatment, hitherto, has not shortened this period. A new method lately adopted seems to exert a beneficial influence upon the duration and course of this unhappy malady, and seems to be superior to the administration of medicines and drugs. Ten teaspoonfuls of blood are allowed to trickle from an arm vein of the little sufferer, and is then carefully whipped in a centrifugalized to separate the serum from the clotted blood. This serum is then dropped off into a sterilized vessel and placed in the temperature of which is at blood heat. Then the so-called "lumbar puncture" is carried out, that is to say, a hollow needle is poured into the spinal canal through the gristle of the lower part of the spine and five teaspoonfuls of the blood are allowed to drip out to make sure the blood serum, which is slowly injected at blood heat, into the spinal cavity. About eight minutes are consumed in this technique. Recurrence Prevented. If this new auto-serum treatment of it. Vitus dance is to do its best, improvement in the child's condition should be observable in three days. The muscular twitchings, of the arms diminish and one part of the improvement which seems to be of great aid in the abbreviation of the trouble is the quick return of appetite and a greatly augmented training for food. After five or six days have elapsed a second serum injection is carried out exactly as was the first one. If the fever dies next day the neck becomes a bit off and there may be sickness at the throat or a rapid pulse. These are not usual signs of the serum action, but ADVICE By ANNIE I am a girl of 13 and am asking your advice as to entertaining a young man. This is the first-time this young man has called and as there are so many ways in which to entertain I would like to know, the best. I have no mother or older sisters to advise me, so am asking your very kind advice. ROSE. Of course, my dear, it depends largely upon the young man and your tastes and his tastes and the facilities you have for entertaining. Do you board, on do you live with relatives who give you this freedom of the house? I can't help wishing that the girls would take up some useful fad and let the boys help them. Think what it would mean if books could be sent to the war hospital; what to be the next winter! The sick and wounded soldiers would be chosen for the war carriages which could be eliminate me completely from the moving before the day should be over. William Trumbull's accounts of the comments of the nearest neighbors of our new home didn't tend to learn my nervousness, although I had to smile in spite of myself at the tales he brought back. "Folks all excited 'bout your movie in Mr. Granze," he said on his return from his second trip. "I tell you their green ketted gears to their winders. I grasses the body moving such a lot of things with a push cart. They looked at me with if I was some circus teller or somethin', but I didn't care." He tried hard to give an effect of non-chaunch, but the poor old chap was so puffed up with his sudden introduction to the limelight of public scrutiny he could hardly stop talking about it and attend to the tying up of the bundles of newspapers, for the builder of which I had to have his help. And when he started away with his second push cart load he fairly ran so anxious was he to show off in his new-found occupation. He came back grunting widely from a What William Said. "Folks jest kalt stand it and longer" he announced. "They jetted had to come down to the road and ask me who's movin' in." One woman, she wanted to into their neighborhood and rag-picker coming into their neighborhood and another one she put her nose up like this, says: "What perfectly impossible people they must be! I guess mebbe they don't like so many newspapers a coming," he wened on nately. "I never did see so many newspapers in my life." "What did you tell them they asked about us!" I said curiously. about it?" I said curiously. "Why do I told them the truth?" He looked up and took a much a trustful, childlike look in his poor, rear-eyed eyes that I forgive him the description his next words showed he had given our new邻居. "I said you were awful nice folks," he said carnelyly. "I told him your husbands underwriter, printed alns. I guessed, downhill, in the laundry, once a week in a laundry, in the city, but I guessed you were going to quit pretty soon because your husband didn't make enough money anyway for you to pay your gift, so you didn't need to." th and Happiness the Newest St. Vitus Dance KEENE HIRSHBERG (ins Hopkins University) LY days are here, the saddest of the children, if the bacteria of chorea or dance penetrates their blood, lymph Then may the little victims believe balm in Gilead.

One of the abominations of choren is its recurrence. Like tonsillitis, pneumonia and acute joint fevers, it has a malicious tendency to assert its unwelcoming nature. After the serum these unsusual visitations are frequent; in fact, only five in each hundred victims have such recurrences. Instead of six to eight weeks in bed the interval has been cut down to well within three weeks. Answers to Health Questions MARGARET. Q—What will make my hair light? ?-What will rid my scalp of dandruff? A—Wash it frequently and do not wear any hat, and go out a great deal in the sun and light, and I am sure this will lighten your hair. 2-Dandurst occurs in tiny flakes of dry epidermis as well as in an oily state of the scalp. Red blotches may or may not be present. Sometimes there is itching and burning, sometimes not. Sulphur is an anion remedy, one dram U. It with 10 grams each of potassium salicylic acid and sulphate of quinine to an ounce of petrolatum, used three times a week, does much good. H. C. Q-What can I do for a burning sensation in the leg? A-This may be traceable to many things. If the blood pressure and heart are sound, pressure inside the pelvis may be responsible. An internal examination gives much information.

DEAR ANNIE LAURIE: I am a girl 16 years old. I have a boy friend who lives out of town. I like this boy very much and so do my parents. He seems to like me very much, because he takes me for rides and goes with me most everywhere. Now, please, Amie Laurie. tell me how I can find out if this boy likes me. SWEET LILY: gracious me, child, you're too young to have a bean. The fact that the boy spends much of his time with you should convince you that he must like you pretty well, and as that is positively all that you can hope for how, can't you content yourself? Amie Laurie will welcome letter of inquiry on subject of feminine interest from young women readers of this paper, and will reply to them in these columns. Amie Laurie will be addressed to her. I will send this letter. If the fervor and spirit of patriotism which permeated the Parent Teacher meeting at Central, school Monday, can be taken as an example of the attitude of all mothers and teachers, and children, too, there will be little enough need of urging the ones at home to greater efforts in the relief cause. As all patriotic mothers are doing these days, Red Cross sewing will be a feature of the future meetings. Another definite step towards the accomplishment of their patriotic duty was the vote taken to adopt at least one of the French orphans. This action was taken after Miss Jeannette McKellar, principal of the school, had told the mothers some of the plans their children have under way. The Central school children have already purchased a Liberty Bond. The boys and even now knitting squares for relief and they are very anxious to help the French war orphans. Mrs. George J. Stille, chairman of the athletic and playground committee of Central school, outlined a plan whereby funds may be raised for the cause. She and her committee, Miss Myrtle Ferguson, sixth grade teacher, Mrs. A. C. Welnhold, Mrs. Henry Kassel and Mrs. G. Adams are planning a bazaar and pure food sale for Friday, December 7, from 3 until 10 o'clock, at the school building. A detailed report of the state teachers' meeting held at Topeka was given by the president, Mrs. J. McNarry. Miss Amanda Weber led the chorus in singing "America," with Mrs. Edgar Evans presiding at the piano. When Mrs. Clarence Smith was asked to sing the responded by singing "Love Is Something That Money Can't Buy," the selection given by her son Lawrence at the time of his graduation from Central school eight years ago. He is in training at Camp Domphan at the present. There was an attendance of about 75 mothers at the meeting. All enjoyed the "surprise" which awaited them at the close of the afternoon. Refreshments were served by the reception committee, Mrs. E. L. Dennis, Miss Ruth Clark, Mrs. Frye, Mrs. Criswell, Mrs. F. Helman, Mrs. Anna Barker and Mrs. R. Mellink. At the next meeting, December 17, Mrs. T. V. Welnhold will make a report of the relief work and Miss Broughten will give a demonstration.

HER PROBLEMS By Annette Bradshaw Dimitri Boulanger Three Minute Journeys TO TEMPLE MANNING WHERE THE PUREST FORM OF DEMOCRACY RULES NEARLY 150,000,000 PEOPLE. Russia's 172,000,000 population in 1912, 167,000,000 persons live in farming communities. Rather starling and amusing in thought-pinning possibilities, isn't it? Therefore, when one thinks of Russia it should picture a huge creature tilling the soil. And when thinking of the power that governs it he should picture not the power resident in Petrograd so much as the countryside village governs that rules almost every thought and nearly every action of their peasant members. Each village is a miniature pure democracy. In these bodies representative government is considered too remote. The heads of every house in a village meet in free consultation—one man has one vote. This democracy—if land is to be cultivated, buys machinery to be cultivated, buys machinery to farm the land, and adopts and enforces every other regulation considered necessary. Nothing is done until the villagers in meeting approve. No one may even begin to mow hay until the meeting directs him. The land to be tilled is allocated in strips, one to each male member of each family, to the monopoly of the best land. The community usually makes hay in common, the harper, being separated into as many piles as there are men, workers, and these piles are sponitioned by lot. To rule over their meetings a head man is selected. There is also chosen a "pole man" whose duty it is to go through the village and trap with the pole on a window of each house, to summon the head of the family to meeting. U. S.
