TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. WATER CURE FOR INFIDELITY WORKS-DENVER LADY PHYSICIAN ONE OF THE BEST IN THE UNITED STATES Denver, Colo. I am away from the place where I was when I wrote the last letter, and I have seen a few things that make me feel like I want to be an angel. Germany has acknowledged defeat, and it seems that it is going way back and sit down for a while. No, it will not be possible to sit down, but must pay the penalty of getting licked. President Wilson will soon be home, and we shall all welcome back to our shores of America our great President. He has worked hard and I think he has well earned a rest. I am informed that he is not going to take a rest just now, for he will spend some time in telling the people what he has done and trying to make them understand him. I hope that they will all understand, and then in 1920 join with me and others in giving him the much-needed rest Why not? I shall tell you about the plan later in the game. Have you ever engaged in lovemaking? It is a hot job in Denver, and if you don't believe it I wish you could get in touch with Jake Johnson, whose residence is on California street, but at present is spending honey-ade in one of the Denver hospitals and his wife is as happy as a Junebug in a blackberry patch I do not know how long it has been since the preacher joined him to his pretty wife. They have had their ups and downs together. But age is telling on Mrs. Johnson, but she has a pretty niece, just in the bloom of life. She is just one of them aggravating browns. To brother Jake she looked good enough to eat, and he began making them googoo eyes and the girls like smiled back. Now just what happened, I am not going to tell at this time, but the wife went out and Brother Jake found his way in a dream to the wrong bed. This was more than the wife could stand, so she just put somd extra coal in the stove, got the water extra hot, and just like she was going to prepare an old rooster to pick, so she applied the water to the back of her wayward husband. He put a sheet around him run down the street. "The world is on fire; someone please help me." Dr Justina L. Fox heard his cry, rushed to his rescue, found him well prepared for dressing. She applied what they call first aid and then sent him to the hospital for further treatment think when he gets back home, he will be satisfied to sleep when he is sleeping and not have any more dreams. It was better to wake up in hot water than in the place where the devil lives. He will now have time to pray and get forgiven and told by the sin-pardoning Saviour to "Go in peace and sin no more." I feel that the wife will forgive for it was his first discovered offense. The world is moving along, and I have been moving with it. It is a long jump from Durham, North Carolina to Denver, Colo., but I have made it, but I will not be here when you read this letter and you will not be able to guess just where I will be for I don't know myself. I want to be in this world, and I am going to have some few things to say to you I went to see Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, pull of that big rally, and now that it is over, and the mortgage will be burned in February, when the Bishops meet in Baltimore and then following that a few months later the general conference will meet in St. Louis and he will be made a bishop.

THE AMERICAN WOODMEN CLOSE A FINE SESSION The American Woodmen closed a successful three days' session Wednesday evening with a swell banquet, which was largely attended. The session was well represented with delegates from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas. It opened Monday evening at Mt. Zion Baptist church, Fourth street and Virginia avenue, with welcome addresses and a musical program by the choir of this church Subjects of vital interest were discussed by delegates during the sessions and especially along the insurance department. Wednesday afternoon W. G. Banks the State Supervisor, took the convention out for a trolley ride over both cities, which was greatly enjoyed by the delegates. The street parade took place Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock, when about three hundred men and women with their axes, led by a ladies' band, with grand officers in autos, mad an excellent showing Many lined the streets to witness the display. Tuesday evening was memorial exercises, Rev. D. A. Holmes preaching this sermon. The Chief Commander, C. M. White, of Denver, is a great executive officer and can handle a body of men with great ease. He is one of the race's greatest leaders. The delegates were high in their praise to Supervisor Banks and the local committee for the grand entrainment they received while here. Dr. John A. Gregg, president of Edward Waters College, on his way to Texas to attend the Woman's Parent Home and Mission society, tarried a few days visiting his brother and many friends.

THE LEA 524 MINNESOTA A KANSAS CITY, K Are You Prepared for NEW JERSEY ESSION OF THE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO PRESENTED AT NATIONAL DELEGATION IN THE ON'S HISTORY. There were thirty-one states represented and more than three hundred out-of-town delegates. Every session was well attended. Cleveland was an excellent host. Hotels, restaurants, theatres, know no "lines." It is a pleasure and as it ought to be, to go and come without being reminded of race, previous condition of servitude and all the other relics of barbarism. No one was hurt. No one was offended by our presence. That is as it should be. When one is hungry let him be fed at the nearest place. If thirsty, let him drink. If wearly, let him sleep. Such was and is the hospitality of Cleveland, Ohio. Let us have a colorless code of human relationship. Chicago sustains about the same human attitude, in spite of the outbreaks among the lower strata of human beings. We are living two narrow lives. We are interfering with our own happiness. The man of whatever race that is ill at ease in the presence of another is suffering from, not taint of blood, but taint of mind. This is infinitely worse than "taint of blood." Notes. Dr. Dubois was present. There should be a thousand like him rather than many attacking him. The fault finders can do for themselves the least fractional part of the good he is doing for them. Mrs. Ovington was present. She is a remarkable woman, devoting all of her time without cost to and for better conditions for our people. She left the bedside of a sick, mother to be with the people of the convention. Mr. Shillady was there. A man with an intense personal interest in the cause and untiringly active. He turns a patient listening ear to all. Mr. Johnson, the forceful platform advocate of our cause, was there. He is quiet, bu forceful in action. Mr. White, who is not white, but is white, is a human dynamo. He is a thrilling life filled with thrilling experiences, and he tells a thrilling story. He can hold an audience for hours. Maj. Spingaire, every inch a fighter, was present and inspired the delegates with his keen devotion to our cause. These, as illustrated by William Teel, in their various moods, and dispositions, represent the Dawn, the storm, the Calm and the Finally of our great cause—Justice to an oppressed people. It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I here express my appreciation for the service and increasing interest of the good people of Kansas City, Kansas, and the executive committee and others of our branch who made possible my trip to the tenth annual session of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Cleveland, Ohio.

Composed and read in 1918 at St. Peters Church in Mnineapolis, Minn., as a part of the program rendered at the celebration of the service stars after the departure of the colored soldiers, by Mrs. S. A. Bland, of 617 New Jersey avenue, Kanssa City, Kansas. Away back at creation, Before the birth of this Nation, God placed the stars in the firmament to do their bit. ment to do their bit, They were for uses and not abuses, And their mission is not ended yet. They were for signs and for seasons, And for many other reasons, They were to divide the darknes from the light. And the day from the night. While in their places they stood God saw they were good. And as we look upon those stars, And as we look upon those stars, We will reverence each hero they represent. Knowing they are in the fray too, To drive the darkness away, To spend and be spent. May they with gest - God knows what is best, For as they go over the sea, It is for you and for me, And the rights they have never possessed. Let all who pray, pray now, And those who never prayed learn how. That when this cruel war shall cease, It may bring to us justice and peace, And when we shall count our sorrows and joys, May we find that God in much mercy Has returned to us our boys. NOW. Now with scars they are returning, Those gallant sons of war, And they find the home fires burning As brightly as before. Under the stars they did what they could. And under the stars many shed their blood; Oh, may it not be in vain, Those heroes were slain. God binds up the broken hearted, Those weep for their departed. They have honored the cause, And for this may justice amend the laws. That as they live under the stars, They may encounter no bars. As we meet them and greet them, May God help us to entertain them, That as they go forth, They still may show their worth. Father may they disdain the evil trend. trend. And make Jesus their friend, And never from him wonder, But answer Him gladly When the roll is called up yonder. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank D. A. Holmes for his kind services, Miss Mabel Jackson for her sweet singing, Mary Magdaline Court for the beautiful flowers and the neighborhood for their beautiful floral offerings, and also our many other friends for their dear kindness and flowers in remembering us in our sudden reavement of my husband and father. God knew best—His will be done.—Mrs. Jennie Lankford, wife; Mies Gertrude Lankford, daughter. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A very large congregation greeted Pastor Holmes Sunday at 11 a. m. and listened attentively to his deep and interesting sermon, delivered with expression and spirit. At 8 p. m., another large crowd assembled, and listened to Rev. Haggens, one of God's servants, from Montgomery, Ala. He seemed to be very sincere and was very emotional He also preached very plain and somewhat like Billy Sunday. He spoke against all sin and sins of so-called Christians. He spoke so boldly and in such a humorous manner, it kept the audience laughing. At the close some united with the church. Mrs. Brown, of Des Moines, Iowa, made an intellectual plea for her work in the Western Association. A collection was taken for her and the visiting minister. Also a large church collection. The choir sang, "Brighten the Corner" and other selections, softly and sweetly. The Sunday school is large and doing well.

SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. Campaign for Members. The people are rallying to the cause in splendid fashion. The ministers and their congregations are responding. Lodges as units are endeavoring to join. Let every individual join and Help. 1. To abolish legal injustice against Negroes. 2. 'To stamp out race discriminations. 3. To prevent lynchings, burnings, and torturings of black people. 4. To secure to every citizen of color, the common rights of American citizenship. President Wilson declare for woman suffrage as a war measure. Black men are not allowed to vote in many of the states of the Union, despite the Fifteenth Amendment. 5. To compel equal accommodations in railroad travel, irrespective of color. 6. To secure for colored children an equal opportunity to public school education through a fair apportionment of public education funds. Unless the colored child can be educated he is at a fearful disadvantage. An uneducated Negro poulation menaces national well-being This education should be of hand and brain and can be adequately done for all Negro children, not the fortunate few, only by public schools. 7. To emancipate in fact, as well as in name, a race of nearly 12,000,000 American born citizens. The only means we can employ are education, organization, agitation, publicity—the force of an enlightened public opinion. The work is supported entirely by voluntary contributions and memberships. $50,000 is needed this year. Help us! Membership fee, $1.00; Crisis, $1. Come to the meetings, Friday night at Y. W. C.

Mr. John Stovall, our sweet choi singer, has returned from France. A Southerner in one of the cantonments'below the Mason and Dixon line, when called up for examination, was asked: "What is your nearest living relative?" "What you mean, 'relative,' mister?" returned the recruit. "Oh, I mean your nearest living kinsfolk." "Wal, that's my aunt you're talking 'hout." Several other questions were answered satisfactorily, when there came: "But you told me just a few minutes ago that your aunt was the nearest living relative that you have," objected the officer. "You asked me who my nearest living kin was, didn't you? Wal, that's Aunt Liz—she lives jest two miles from where I been livin'; mother lives five." Harmony. "It is a mistake to think women in politics will divide the home. Now, I always vote the same ticket as my husband does." "Do you?" "Certainly. But I tell him first what that ticket is." 13 "Some theorists say everything in life is attuned to one key. What keys are the slippery places in life tuned to?" "Why, naturally to see sharp or be flat." This world is but a fleeting show: A circus with at least three rings. You stare and twist and yet you know You're missing lots of bully things. Confused Grievance. "Here's somebody says the oyster produces nearly half a million eggs annually." "Then if nature is such a wonderful provider, why didn't she make the oyster a hen?" "Is it hard to write for the newspapers and the magazines?" asked the sweet young thing. "Not at all," replied the writer. "But it is hard to get the editors to buy your stuff." Provocation. Anyway. "I'm ashamed of you. You're always fighting." "Well, mother, supposin' the lady next door was to put her chewin' gum down yer neck, wouldn't you paste her one?"—Life. Cause and Effect. First Hobo—You are not looking well; what's the matter? Second Hobo—I dreamed last night that I was working and I woke up with a headache. DC "A successful man must study the faults of others." "Well, I don't know that it will make a man successful, but it ought to be a delightful study." History Makers. When men make history they find strange episodes so blended They never really make the kind That they at first intended. Mean About It "The girl I proposed to in a regular dog in the manger.' "How so?" "She will neither accept my affection nor return it." Accounted For. Accounted For. "I don't seem to make any impression on the members of the pony ballet." "Probably because those 'ponies' have horse sense." IN BONDS OF COMRADESHIP Strong Unity In inevitable Among Those Who Battled the Savage Hun Side by Side. Two men were hobbling along the Strand, London, the other day. Both depended upon stout ash sticks to help them on their way. They were coming from opposite directions, and when they drew level, although neither had seen the other before, they involuntarily nodded and grinned and exchanged a "Cheerlo." You can witness similar Incidents on any of London's boulevards, writes "Young Sub." The great unofficial Brotherhood of the Hobble has no rule beyond that of camaraderie; the only qualification for membership is the possession of a hobble caused by military service. "I am convinced that everyone will realize the vital importance of continuing in peace that great comrade-ship which has enabled us to win the war," says Sir Douglas Haig. There are associations and clubs and federations of all sorts whose objects are to blind together the men who have served their country. But the biggest of all is the one that has no organizing secretary, no central offices and no propaganda. It simply exists in the hearts of the men who have suffered in the fight for freedom and justice. HAIL "PUNKIN," KING OF PIES Who That Has Ever Tasted the Real Article Can Forget the Thrill of the First Mouthful? You can't spell punkin ple with an "m" and a "p." Pumpkin ple is the kind one gets in restaurants, flavored with cloves and allspice. "Punkin" ple has cinnamon and ginger in it, and sometimes a hint of an unmentionable beady fluid about which one would not dare ask mother. And of all the smacking, ambrosial delicacies catalogued under the genus "ple" the best is "punkin." One grows hungry at the thought of "punkin" ple—the crisp, crinkly crust; the thick, rich, pungent filling, with the dust of cinnamon tarnishing its tawny top; the creamy, dreamy, velvety, faraway taste as one's mouth closes on its prize. Some appetizing joys there are, but none that exceeds capturing a piece of "punkin" ple, getting it into one's hands, contrary to all social usage, biting into it until one almost mires up to one's nose, until one can scarce see over the top of the upstanding crust, and beginning the unequaled delight of devouring the first mouthful. To taste it is to love it. Love but it, and love forever.—Milwaukee Herald. PUBLICATION NOTICE. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas.

"I'm afraid," replied Senator Sorghum, sadly, "that I am getting to be one of these silver-tongued orators. A number of people have told me it was a great speech, but none of them seem able to remember what I said." The Power of Suggestion. "I wish that garage man hadn't told me to leave the, carburetor adjustment alone." "Why?" "Until he mentioned it I had no idea there was such a device and now I find I can't resist the temptation to tamper with it." Economy. "We must be very economical, my dear, under the new luxury tax." "Yes, my dear, I've been thinking about that. Already I have found a shop where I can get a lovely new shade for the living room lamp for $25 and that's just inside the exemption figure." Changed. "She can open a telegram without trembling." "That's nothing. I notice nowadays a lot of women are taking upper berths in the Pullmans and thinking nothing of it." Once In a Lifetime "Every fellow has to have the experience at least once, and there's no use. advising him against it." "What's up?" "He's going to try to paper the living room himself."

Honest An honest man Is Ezra Hatch. He will pay back A borrowed match. A Blockhead. "You call that anarchist a blockhead?" "Yes. If his cranial equipment isn't deadwood it becomes a firebrand." A Repeater. Father—Did I tell you what my boy said to Walker? Friend—Yes; three times last night and four this morning. His Place. His Place. "What place does that queer fellow fill in his mechanical business?" "Oh, I guess they use him anywhere they need a crank." Some Exceptions. "He is a man who boasts he can handle any subject without gloves." "Then let him try to fix a live wire or to hive bees." "What's the financial trouble in the printing department?" "I don't know, but I suppose there is the devil to pay." "What makes Jones such a queer leaden color?" "I guess it is the plumbago his wife says he's got in his back."

A. Holmes is visiting in Prof. J. P. King will go on a few weeks' speaking tour soon. Wichita. J. O. MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page One) Speaking of bishops, they are going to make some, and I tell you they have a fine set to select from. I cannot name them all, but I have in mind Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, Dr A. J. Carey, W. D. Johnson, J. C. Caldwell, J. R. Ransom, R. C. Ransom, W. A. Fountain, S. A. Williams. A. L. Gaines and I wish I could get hold of the other names, but you will have them in time. I have just thought of Dr. C. R. Tucker, of Oklahoma. I came along down the line to Durham, N. C., where the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company had a celebration of the twentieth anniversary. It is one of the best insurance companies in Aemirca,' and what makes me feel so good about it they belong to my race, and whatever may come to them they will have' to let me share it, because I am a member of the same race. John Merrick is president of the company Dr. A. M. Moore is secretary-treasurer; C. C. Spaulding, vice-president and general manager; J. M. Avery is the assistant general manager. I had the pleasure of hearing a great speech by the Rev. Dr. R. C Ransom, who was just born to speak in my opinion. He made a corking good speech, and then turned attention to making the world better. I left for Chicago, over the Norfolk & Western, reaching Cincinnati, I had to remain over night. I went to the Y. M. C. A., applied for a place to sleep and was informed by the secretary in charge that he was sorry but all the space was gone. I had him use his speaking tube and call up the wife of Rev. J. Franklin Walker, who told me at once to come right on, as there was always a bed in her home for me. In the meantime there was a member of the Mound Street Baptist church who discovered me; and he went over and said something to the secretary, and he told me that there was a room right in there for me. This member had heard me preach a sermon in his church and said that they could always provide for me. I said, "Praise the Lord." Bright and early Sunday morning I had myself together and headed for Chicago. I got to town, went to the homq of Mrs. E. L. Stewart and was made welcome. I'shall not have time to tell you all. She escorted me to church, going to Olivet, where I saw the Rev. Dr. J. H. Branham put two down out of sight. Dr. L. K. Williams is a great man and is doing a great work. I shall write my next letter from Chicago as I see it now and will reserve all I have to say for then. I have met Dr. A. J. Carey, who will be one of the sure winners in the general conference and he deserves to win. If I had a thousand votes I would give them all to him, and then Dr. J. R. Ransom, our own Kansas friend. "Well, I got myself together, secured space in a bed car and started for this place over the Rock Island It is some running horse, believe me. Just a little over a thousand miles I left at 10 o'clock one morning and at 4 o'clock the next afternoon was in the home of Dr. Justina L. Ford who is one of the leading physicians in this country, and you may tell the world I told you so. She started out by coming into the world, and remaining a baby the usual length of time, and then she was a little girl off to the public school of Galesburg Ill., finishing that, she became a teacher, and then the wife of Dr John R. Ford, who was then a mere bud as a preacher. She took up the study of medicine, learning how to cut you open and put you together again, and how to send medicine to the parts affected, and now she has made her own place right here in Denver. S. DIGGS Dr. Ford has a lovely home, and she is just one of those women with a heart devoted to God and humanity, and for that reason she is the doctor that she is. She lives in the hearts of the people. When called upon to help suffering humanity, it is not a question with her whether she is going to get paid, but a desire to do good. She has been successful in collecting for her work. Of course she is a Christian woman. I am here for a big day. I am the guest of Dr. J. L. Ford, Dr. A. M. Ward, Dr. David E. Over, and Dr. P. J. Price, and all the other preachers of the town, including Rev. J. S. Wilson, I shall have more to say to you about these things when I write the next time. You keep your eyes on me. J. O. MDNIGHT.

Under the White Man's Reign came the birth of Christ and the care of the church. Between the end of the White Man's Reign and the beginning of the Red and Yellow Man's Reign will come the brotherhood of man. 3. Under the Red and Yellow Man's Reign will come the war against the Church, or the "Holy War." The return of Ethiopia. The return of Israel. The gathering of the Church, 4.
