MRS.RUTH COLLINS LEAVES FOR GLORY LAND Tuesday afternoon at 2 p. m., Mrs. Ruth Collins, of 517 Nebraska avenue and one of the West's greatest women, bid relatives and friends farewell, and left for Gloryland. She had been confined to her home for several months, and, as she would often express to her pastor and friends on calling to see her, say, "the old wagon is about broke down." But never did it seem at any time of her illness, even to the very last like a sick chamber, although she was unable at times to speak, but there yas that same smile and expression in her face, as when she was going to some annual conference of her church, which she so dearly loved. A great character. A remarkable woman. Mrs. Ruth Collins was born May the second, 1856, at Warsaw, Benton county, Missouri, at the time of her death she was about 64 years old. She was converted in the M. E. church at the age of 14 years, but, soon afterward, connected herself with the African Methodist Episcopal church, and for nearly 50 years was a constant worker in this church, even after she was unable to get out, she managed several organizations of which she was at the head. She was for years president of the Mite Missionary Society, and state conference treasurer for many years of this society. At the time of her death, she was treasurer of the Sabbath school, and had been for many years. In 1874 she was united in marriage to Mr. Milan Collins, who later was one of the foremost ministers of the African Methodist Episcopal church of this western country. He preceded his wife some years ago. There were born to this union one girl and two boys, only one living, Milton, of the home, who has been a railway mail clerk for a number of years and a more devoted son to his mother and who was always found doing for her comfort, could not be found. She leaves three sisters, Mrs. Mary Queeny, who has made her home with her sister for some time, and during all of her siste's illness until she came down to the River of Jordan, she stayed by her couch, doing everything possible to make her comfortable. The two other sisters, Mrs. Clay and Mrs. Hayes, live in Sedalia, Mo. The deceased also has several nephews living in Missouri. The funeral will be held this Friday, afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the First A. M. E. church, corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, Rev. J. F. Griffin officiating, assisted by other ministers from Kansas and Missouri. The family and relatives have, including The Advocate, the fullest sympathy in this, their hour of sorrow. Prof. T. H. Reynolds, the very efficient music teacher of Sumner High school, has been confined at home with sickness, but are pleased to note, he is much improved.

Stins has returned from a visit in the South, and he invites his friends to call and see him at 1615 North Third street for a good shave or hair cut. Pittsburg, Kansas Rev. T. A. Wilson, pastor of the A. M. E. church, has been out of the city all the week, preaching for Rev. H. Shepherd, pastor of the A. M. E. church in Independence, Kas., in a revival meeting. He reports good meetings and a few seekers for the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. Rev. Shepherd, he says, is the leader of the people. He has a fine brick church and a very fine parsonage with all the latest improvements in it. His wife is an exceptional woman. Rev. Wilson also reports that the Green Brothers are in the candy business, making and selling candy; also shipping it anywhere persons want it. That this company is of the race. These men saw service over the sea. Pittsburg is again settling down to business. The revival at Mt. Hebron Baptist church closed Sunday night with about twenty additions to the church. New Hope is still having the Gospel preached to them by their pastor Rev. H. Hopkins. To our surprise, when we reached Bethel A. M. E. church Sunday we were met by the pastor, Rev. Wilson, who preached an interesting sermon on Baptism. All enjoyed it. He preached Sunday at 3 p. m., in Franklin, Kans., and filled his pulpit at night again. He told them the words of Jesus. Mrs. E. N. Wilson, the pastor's wife, is on the sick list this week in care of Dr. L. N. Bass. Mr. Neal Pierce has gone into business in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Fairfax have moved into the cottage of the late Mrs. Joe Brown, on Washington boulevard. Mrs. Yates, Miss Clifford and Mrs. Leota Miller are sick with colds.

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1920 COLORED DEATH RATE IN KANSAS MORE THAN DOUBLE THAT OF WHITES THERE IS A CAUSE Tag Day Douglass Hospital SATURDAY FEBRUARY 14, 1920 A WORTHY INSTITUTION CITY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY s Hospital----Tag COLORED DEATH RATE I THAN DOUBLE THAT THERE IS A C The stable foundation upon which our government rests is health and work. Our national security rests wholly upon these; for the weaken- ing of either would greatly impair, if not destroy, our national life. The signed is Dou- Washi- tion in the Recent investigation, contingent upon preparation for war, established the fact that diseases of various kinds are making inroads upon the health of our citizenship. It should be the aim and purpose of each of us to change this condition and bequeath to those who are coming after us a nation whose life is as free from disease germs as it is possible for it to be with present day scientific research and appliance. To accomplish this, there must be a general awakening upon the part of the citizenship of each community in the illumination, as far as possible, all kinds of diseases. Sanitary conditions must be improved upon both within and without the homes of the masses of the people. The church, the school, the lodges, clubs and other groups of people must set themselves to the task of the preachment that will insure better health conditions. This will necessitate for the present an expenditure greater than has been made for this work hereofore. But when scientifically applied will not by half come up to the expenditures made in the loss of time, due illness, the cost of physician and medicine and other expenditures caused by illness. This is a direct appeal to our people, for the reason that the demand for such work is greater among us. Our palacial homes, well constructed church buildings and other enterprises, demonstrate the fact that we, as individuals and organized bodies, know how to do things. This that we have accomplished reduces, in a measure, the ravages of disease; but fall very far short, in a general way, due to the condition of the masses of our people. Our constructive ability must be enlarged upon and take in such institutions as guard the health of our people, as well as, such institutions that protect our spiritual and mental life; for mental genius and spiritual growth thrive better in a healthy body. The census bureau (which of course is the final tabulation) for 1917, shows in Kansas: "Death per 100,000 population, total 1114.8 with" a death rate of our people more than double that of the white. It also shows that the death rate in Kansas for our people is higher than that of the United States as a whole, while for the whites it is lower than that of the United State sas a whole. The increase in deaths per disease of the colored population over the white is in general; for instance the death rate for typhoid fever per 100,000 population is: White .....16.7 Colored .....44.5 The greatest increase is in tuberculosis, which shows the rate to be: White .....41.5 Colored .....233.0 In malignant tumor, the death rates run fairly close together, although the white slightly exceeds the colored: White .....68.1 Colored .....60.0 In diabetes, the whites exceed the colored, but in cerebral hemorrhage the death rate for the colored population jumps high again: White ..... 73.5 Colored ..... 126.8 Deaths from violence, the rate is: White ..... 71.9 Colored ..... 166.2 Tag I FOR Douglass H ADVOCATE The only institution in this city designed to serve us for better health is Douglass Hospital, situated at 312 Washington boulevard. This institution is woefully deficient and needs the immediate help of the entire citizenship of this community. The Board of Directors of Douglass Hospital have launched a campaign for the raising of funds with which to place this institution in a position wherein it can serve humanity to a greater advantage. This is an appeal to you and through you to your many friends soliciting your co-operation. The 14th day of February is the date for the drive. We'll appreciate any help or suggestions you may render. Yours for a healthy body and soul CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE. Supervisors and Captains for the Douglas Hospital Tag Day, Saturday, February 14th.

KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. GAMBLING. In these times of lack of production and dislike of work, some very helpful, tactful methods must be put into operation to stop the little boys and young men and older, from the very alluring dice. When once an individual gets the idea that chance will take the place of work, that in a lucky throw a day's or a week's equivalent of labor may be obtained, society has lost a very important source of production. Lost a boy! Lost a young man! The labor of each at a conservative estimate is worth an investment of $10,000. What a waste! But the evil calls for a great tactful generalship. MISS CARNEY DIES As we are ready to go to press the sad news comes into the office from Western University that Miss Carrie Carney had passed away having had double pneumonia. She was instructor of vocal culture and was chorister of the First A. M. E. church. A full account will appear in our next issue. Mrs. Lulu Hornbeck, daughter of Mrs. S. L. Johnson, is somewhat ill at her home, 1021 Freeman. CITIZENS' FORUM As it was a beautiful day, the Forum was good. President G. Booker presided. After the opening music and quotations, excellent current events were given by Mr. Considee Jenkins. He covered every important national event. The principal feature of the program was a paper "The Joy of Living," by Dr. Cotten, ex-inspector of teeth of the colored schools. He was questioned by Rev. D. A. Holmes. Mesrss: H. Dwiggins and A. Saunders, and gave valuable answers. The symposium was opened by Dr. Ward, who also spoke well on the structure of the teeth. The papers by the dentists were so instructive and useful that Miss Henderson moved a vote of thanks be given them. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Shackelford was asked to make remarks; also Mr. A. Saunders, of Kansas City, Mo. A communication of thanks was read from Mrs. W. G. Wood. Mr. Downey sang a beautiful solo and was enced. He was accompanied by Miss Siporo Miller. Next Sunday, Feb. 8th, our Forum will have its meeting in Kansas City, Mo., at Garrison Square. Let our city go over by the hundreds. All are requested to meet at Metropolitan Temple and take a special car if necessary and go over together. Meet at 3:30 p. m. Prof. G. B. Buster, ex-president, is to give the principal address. Prof. Reynolds will have Sumner orchestra music, and other fine music will be rendered. Be sure to come. Feb. 8th and go over in Kansas City. Mo., and hear our fine program. Notes on Forum. We were glad to see Judge Bradley out after a few weeks' absence. Mrs. Cotten and Miss Vera Ward were among the visitors at the Forum. The Kansas State Chamber of Commerce has claims on all commercial organizations; civic bodies; trade and industrial units and on all forward looking citizens. Kansas has not received the advertising of her resources that so many of her sister states have enjoyed and yet there is no state in the Union with a greater diversity of natural resources and human talent than Kansas. A very attractive program has been prepared for the State Chamber meeting to be held in Hutchinson, February 26-27. Agriculturists, business and professional men, representatives of trade and labor bodies and newspaper men are urged to attend the meeting. Attractive subjects with capable speakers handling them have been procured. Prof. G. A. Curry has been sick and out of school several days. Mr. Walter Maddox is quite sick at his mothers' home on Freeman avenue. Mrs. Mattie Drake attended Metropolitan Sunday night. She left for California Wednesday. Little Yvette Jenkins, of Quindaro, has been quite ill for two weeks, but is somewhat improved. Mrs. Ed Lyles, accompanied by Mrs. Alene Parker, visited at Excelsior Springs Tuesday and brought her niece and nephews home with her. Prof. Kennedy of Western University, was called to Tennessee last week on account of the death of his mother, HER. NUMBER 27. th-----Boost MERCANTILE COMPANY OPENS WITH A BIG BUSINESS The Peoples' Mercantile Company, 418 Minnesota avenue, as was advertised, opened their doors last Saturday at 9 a. m. for business. From the time the key was turned a steady stream of customers from every part of the city and many from the Missouri side kept it up until 11 o'clock at night. With eight clerks working like clockwork everybody was taken care of in a most satisfactory manner. The cashier never had time to say anything only, "your change; thank you!" This week has been far beyond expectations to the business manager, Mr. Banks. Many shares were taken out Saturday and has been kept up all this week. There is no doubt but what the price of shares will go up soon, as there is such a call for them. They put on a delivery auto this week, whereby daily deliveries will be made. ANNUAL BAZAAR. The First A. M. E. Church Sewing Circle held its election last Friday, 18 members being present. The following officers were elected President, Mrs. Pearl Bryant; vicepresident, Mrs. Irvin; secretary, Mrs. See; assistant secretary, Mrs. Jennie Williams; treasurer, Mrs. F. P. Perry. The Circle is getting ready for its Annual Bazaar, February 14th, which is always a big affair, and many look forward, especially for the fine dinner this organization is known to give. They will have most everything to sell at a very low price. Don't miss the chicken dinner. Mr. John Carson, a well to do farmer of near Lawrence, Kansas, and father of D. W. Carson, 914 New Jersey, visited his son and wife over Sunday, and worshipped with them at First A. M. E. church Sabbath. Mrs. D. W. Carr, 2037 North Sixth street, has been quite sick with the flu. NIGHT SCHOOL GIVING ENTERTAINMENTS. The Sumner night school are giving entertainments for the various churches in the city, to the delight of the well filled houses attending them. They opened their first program at Pleasant Green Baptist church a short time ago, and last Friday night were at Eighth Street Baptist church. On February the 18th they will appear at First A. M. E. church. Great crowds are enjoying the musical and literary program given by these night school students. Superintendent J. P. King and Prof. T. H. Reynolds are in charge. Mr. Dave Garner and wife of Tarrington, Wyoming, and Mr. Robert Price of Dawson, Minnesota, are visiting Mrs. Ed. Lyles and family, 810 Nebraska avenue, their aunt. They have been visiting their parents in Richmond, Mo., and a sister in Excelsior Springs; also relatives in Chicago. They will visit here about three weeks. Rev. J. C. C.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. WE THANK YOU. The editor wishes to thank the many subscribers who so readily and pleasantly renewed their subscriptions during the month of January, and also do we thank the large number of new subscribers who had their names recorded on our mailing list. The Douglass Hospital campaign, which is to be put on February, 14, is showing great signs of being just what it should be, a success. The supervisors and their captains are rounding up their forces for the day, and there is going to be some hustling among the districts as to whom will come in ahead. DOUGLASS HOSPITAL. A few evenings ago it was the writer's pleasure to be a guest of the trustees of the Eighth Street A. M. E. church at supper in the cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. Clayborne. Mrs. Clayborne ably assisted by Mrs. Williams saw that our every need of hunger was amply supplied. In the course of the evening's discussion the cause of Douglass hospital was carefully and convincingly presented by Dr. Griffin. Now it has not fully occurred to us that the same doctor that comes from time to time to our homes will come to us at the hospital to attend us. We have not counted upon the watchful, painstaking attention of the trained nurses. At home the folks are in and out endeavoring to make both ends meet in keeping the home fires burning. Of all mother is constantly watchful to the point of exhaustion. We are going to learn to exchange the intermittent, otherwise interrupted home treatment for scientific hospital treatment. It is the duty of the nurse to keep a regular time estimate of your temperature during the absence of the doctor. When he returns he examines the nurse's report which gives him an intelligent comprehensive grasp of your condition and enables him to prescribe more accurately. We must give considerable credit to the woman who desires to assume the duties of a nurse. It is no easy task. Where suffering is and where service is there is a service of love. Those of us who have no taste, desire or inclination for such vicarious service should aid with our good wishes and money. A well equipped hospital is an inspiration to the doctor, a joy to the nurse and an exquisite comfort to the patient. Doctors need modern, up-to-date hospital conveniences so that they may render satisfactory service. The citizens need such a hospital so that the business of the day may not wait because one falls ill. Let us develop confidence in the hospital, the nurse and the doctor. Let us make these three an adjunct to the home—or an extension of the home. Let us learn to know that a member of our family is absolutely safer in the hands of these three—the doctor, the nurse and the hospital—than they can possibly be in our homes. A hospital such as Kansas City, Kansas, is able to make of Douglass will reduce the number of days of sickness, will reduce the death rate, will enable the family to pursue its daily vocation, will be a blessing to the health of the people and a monument to the generosity of a great city. The specific need now is money. The 14th day of February is the day. It is St. Valentine's day. It is Douglass day. Send or give Douglass hospital a cash valentine. and hundreds not yet sick, crippled or emaciated will bless you. Give! A great cause. G. A. GREGG. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F.

Griffin, delivered two of the strongest and heart depth sermans that has been this congregation and friends to hear in one day. Strong men came forward after his well founded Gospel message and said we yield and joined God's army. Many were out at the evening service and heard another wonderful sermon, when others joined the church. Love feast was held Friday evening and the Lord's Supper was administered after the close of the morning service, when a large number partook of its elements. It was reported and seen a large number of the membership were on the sick list. The church prayed that all might be restored to their normal health, and that our community, of whom so many are sick, might overcome their illness. Arrangements are being made for the annual Knife and Fork banquet, which will come off some time in March, date to be given now soon. This Sunday after the morning service, baptizing will take place at the altar. All candidates are request to be present. Come to the house of God, where you can hear the Gospel in its purity. Saint and sinner are invited. THE MAIL CARRIER Read before the Citizens' Forum and dedicated to the late Walker G. Woods, a brother postman. For many years, with heavy pack, Treading an old, yet devious track, With summons shrill from door to door The postman went, now comes no more. more; With cheery nod and pleasant smile, To greet us, and the day beguile. The world foregathered, in his load; Dribbled along his toilsome road: The lover's plaint, the miser's whine, Our joys and hopes, and griefs combine bine. To stamp with gravity the face That late we scanned from place to place. Insignia none, save simple star Marking the years now gone afar With each day marked with duty done, In calm or storm, in rain or sun— Like Sisyphus, his lood, at night, Slipped back to greet his morning sight!

Sloan's Liniment Keep it handy THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN God blessed our city with a beautiful Sabbath day, and many were thankful and assembled at the Temple to worship Him. It was covenant day. Deacon White led and many made talks and promises. Some who did not talk are testifying for Jesus every day in inviting sinners and backsliders to Christ; also witness for Jesus in their Christian walks. Pastor Holmes closed the covenant with appropriate remarks. He said, in part: "Those who talked enjoyed the meeting and those who did not talk enjoyed it." When new followers of Christ were asked for, a little child led the van. At 8 p. m., a larger audience than the large morning congregation assembled; eight deacons were present. After a beautiful voluntary by our organist, Deacon Oliver prayed a servant prayer. Pastor Holmes' text was from Genesis 34:29, "And He blessed him there." He preached a fine sermon on "Jacob Wrestling with the Angel," and made it apply to our spiritual blessings, and said: "When we want great things done, we must pray in secret." He gave the difference between Christian faith and Christian science. Said the Bible says, "You are sick and need a physician, but Christian Science claims you are not sick." He closed picturing 'the death of Christ on the cross. Many shouted and praised God. When the offering was taken Pastor Holmes called Mrs. Matthews the corresponding secretary, as she was the only secretary of four, present. He also called Mrs. Hill to the table. The large congregation gave freely. Then came the Sacrament. Many partook of the Lord's Supper. During this ordinance the best singing is done. Everyone that has breath praises God in song. The best songs sung were, "Jesus Paid It All," "Did Christ O'er Sinners Weep?" "Nearer, My God, to Thee," etc. The Holy Spirit was in the Temple and they sang a hymn and went out as they did 1920 years ago. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD (C.W.F.F.) (Rev. J. A. Cook, Pastor.) On last Wednesday night, the honorable chief, Wm. Christian, was with us and he preached a glorious sermon and threw the light on many things that was in the dark. The chief will begin a big revival in St. Louis February 1st. May the Lord bles him. Hoping he may cause many sinners to repent of their sins and come to Christ. On last Sunday, February 1st, the Sunday school lesson was well recited and many scholars were present and a beautiful lesson was carried out. The rostrum was filled with our honorable pastor at 12:45, and he preached a wonderful sermon. He outlined the Word of God so plain that a child can see into it and understand it. Rev. Cook is a God-sent man. All who do not believe it just come out and hear him preach, then you will see tfor yourself. The Bible Band still is going on every Sunday evening at 6 p.m. All are cordially invited to be with us in our band. At night, at 8:20 the rostrum was filled with Rev. J. A. Cook and he preached a soul-stirring sermon. He preached directly on the doctrine of the church. He took for his text St. John 14-6, Jesus is the way. Just before his sermon began the pastor requested to have covenant meeting. Many testified of Jesus. The Holy Ghost came down and manv were rejoicing. While the choir sang a liberal collection was taken up. The pastor reported several of the members sick and requested for all the well members to go and visit them. Rev. I. C. Collier, who has been 'awfulv sick at 2119 Walnut boulevard, is now up. He preached his farewell sermon Monday night, Feb. 2nd. His cousin is carrying him back home for a while, in Huntington, Ark. Rev. J. P. F. Stuckey preached Brother Love's funeral at his residence, 610 Franklin avenue, last Sunday evening at 3:15 p. m. Many listeners were present. While preaching his funeral Rev. Stuckey spread the doctrine. Next Sunday. Feb. 7th, there will be service at 11 a. m., and at night. Come out and get acquainted with each other. All are welcome. W. C. ARCH.

Church (Quindaro, Kansas. Rev. M. C. McKnight, Pastor. General class and communion was a source of inspiration to all who were present Sunday morning. The Scripture lesson read by our pastor from 1 Cor. 11:19-34, was full of information. He very practically portrayed the wonderful spiritual benefits derived by being in love and fellowship with your neighbor; and partaking of the Lord's Supper regularly. That the hearts got inspiration from the lesson was demonstrated by the many spiritual testimonials. The funeral service of Mrs. S. C. Hogg was held at our church at 2:30 p. m., our pastor officiating. Mrs. Hogg being a pioneer resident of Quindaro for over 50 years the church was filled to its capacity with friends and sympathizers. That she was held in high esteem in the community was manifested by the many beautiful floral designs. Mr. Hogg and relatives wish to thank their many friends for their kindness shown during the illness of his wife. At 7:30 p. m., a short prayer service was conducted by the pastor, after which the Rev. Roane, of Muskogee, Okla., delivered the message. He took for his text, "And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove for then would I fly away and be at rest. Psalms, 55-6. Subject, "Rest." He drew many practical lessons from the life of David, showing how, through all his troubles with his enemies, God warned him of his danger and protected him and was to him a haven of rest. He closed by making an earnest appeal to the unsaved to rest their faith on the solid rock. Jesus Christ. One united with the church. Subscribe for The Advocate. See Prof. G. A. Gregg.

These are known as "House Bill No. 123" and "House Bill No. 114." The general fund for the school consists of money levied for the operation of schools. The laws of 1920 provide that in this fund the limit of tax levied by the board of education shall not exceed 12 mills, compared to $7\frac{1}{4}$ mills for 1919 and 6 mills for ten years immediately preceding 1919. The building fund consists of taxes levied for maintenance and upkeep of school buildings, for purchase of school sites and playgrounds and for construction of new buildings. This fund now has a limit of two mills, as compared with $1 \frac{1}{4}$ mills in 1919 and 1 mill in preceding 10-year period. The House Bill No. 114 gives the board of education power to issue bonds to the extent of $3 \%$ of value of all property within the limits of school district, for the purchasing of school sites, additions and repairs to buildings already erected and construction of new buildings, as compared to a possible $1 \%$ of valuation in preceding years. At the present time the following new schools are needed: Three new junior high schools, a trades school and gym for Ninth street and Minnesota avenue, eight new ward school buildings, three additions to buildings already erected and seven kindergartens. The board owns fifteen large playgrounds, which need to be graded and improved and at present there is no availabe money for this purpose. These new laws are expected to bring relief to this situation in the near future. A bond election is to be held in the spring for approximately 1.4 million dollars. CARD OF THANKS. Mr. S. C. Hogg and family desire to thank the good people, of Quindaro for the many kindnesses shown wife and mother during her long period of illness.

We know that we shall never be able to repay you, but Our Heavenly Father, the Master of our destinies, will see that your goodness will not go unrewarded. We therefore pledge to you our assistance at any time we might be able to serve you with the fond hope that by deeds and not by words you may be able to judge the sincerity of these statements.
