Last time this season to see the Monarchs. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION PRICES VOLUME MIDNIGHT SEES A LOT DAMPHULES IN THIS COUNTRY Frankfort, Ky.-There are a lot of damphules in this country belonging to both races, and it does not take a man long to come to this conclusion. When I see them, and then hear of their action it almost makes me lay aside my religion and say a few things which do not belong in Sunday school ethics, but then I am just going to keep along serving God and doing all the good I can for God and humanity. I have been moving some, and the last time I wrote to you I was so near that hot place until it was about to burn my hair, hence I amde my retreat, and made it back into civilization, without saying whether I was in or out of civilization when I wrote that letter. I am just bound to say something to you this week to keep from busting open. There are things in this country which we do not approve, but that has nothing to do with my writing. I have been way down in Georgia, and have seen some of the things which made me feel real happy all over, and then when I came in touch with Dr. C. T. Walker, and saw his condition, I could not help but feel sad. He was one of the strongest men in this country, and indeed a great preacher, but his health is failing him, and he could not reach the places where he had once been reaching in sermons, and he just broke down and cried like a baby, and then almost fifteen hundred people joined him in the crying business, and believe me that there were tears enough spilled that afternoon to fill a young Mississippi river, but were all carried away, in handkerchiefs and other means. I was in Rome and acted accordingly, hence I cried some with the rest, and why I was crying I will never be able to tell you. I had the pleasure, and it was a pleasure, of going to Haynes Institute, and meeting that most remarkable woman, Mrs. Lucy Laney, or she may be Miss Lucy Laney. I do not know which, but I do know that she is a remarkable woman and is doing for our boys and girls a remarkable work. She has merged her very soul into the beings of young people of ftoday, who are to take care of the future of the race. Getting through with the meeting there, I was soon in company with the Rev. Dr. D. W. Cannon, president of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, and Dr. Ernest Hall, of Atlanta, the man who is doing such wonderful work in his part of the country, and whose life is emerged into his people. He is yet a young man and a remarkable preacher. He is to the people today, what Dr. C. T. Walker has been. Then in addition to this, he has invented something that will get rid of the rheumatism. I carried to him these old bones of mine, and he applied some of the medicine and I am like another man. His office was just full while I was there and he was kept busy from people who wanted the "doctor." Dr. Hall is a man who spends his time in study, and then he is making friends. We are not on the same side of the convention question, but believe me when I tell you that he does not make any distinction. I spent the day with him, and when I left, I was feeling all the better. From Atlanta, I made it to Paris, Ky, spending a night at the home of W. H. Steward; who is looking after affairs in politics in Kentucky. He has an important place appointed by the National Committee, and his office is in the building with the State headquarters, and it is a busy place Kentucky is getting ready to give her electoral votes to Senator Warren G. Harding, and this is just the thing to do. I talked with him, visited his busy office, visited his palatial home, and had some of the latest improved food, and then off at noon for Cairo, Ill. It was a nice ride from Louisville to Cairo. I had an hour or so in Paducah, Ky., and used the time in calling on one of the leading physicians in the country, Dr. Vann Davis. He is at the top in his class, and ever shall be, because he enjoys a big practice and in addition to this he is kept busy studying all time, a thing which you would not expect, a man so busy. He is also in line for Harding and active in the city and county organization. They are kept busy down there, and are reaching out for the best available men to come down and speak to them. Last Monday night they had Major R. R. Jackson, from Chicago, and will have another big man Monday. I have suggested that it would be a great thing if they could get hold of Hon. Nelson Crews, from Kansas City. Dr. Davis toted me around just a little in his car, toted me to his palatial home, and then bade me good bye, for I went to Cairo, Ill., down on the Mississippi, and right where the Ohio emptied its trash into that great Mississippi, and from there on there is no more Ohio. I reached the town at night, but already had my stopping place, and went to it. It was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Martin, Jr. This is a remarkable family. A. A. Martin, the father, has been connected with one hotel for nearly a half century. He was the slush cook, the second cook, the head cook, and now he is the steward, and his son is the head cook at the same hotel. The father was at one time grand master of Masons for Illinois, and made the best grand master Illinois ever had, and he brought things to pass, paid off all indebtedness and left some money on hand when he retired. We are anxious to have him come back. The young man has a fine home, and then he has a fine wife and three sons. The eldest son, Marion, age 16, is in high school, John is in junior high, and Alex is coming right along reaching up for high school, and he is going to get there. Mrs. Martin is active in racial matters, and she is a hard worker when it comes to that. I enjoyed my stay there. But what was I doing in town? I was there for the Illinois African Methodist Episcopal conference presided over by Bishop L. J. Coppin of Philadelphia, Pa. It was a fine meeting, and believe me, honey, there were three bishops present at the meeting. Bishops L. J. Coppin, A. J. Carey and W. Sampson Brooks, and what a meeting it was. These ministers were not afraid to let the world know where they were, for they passed resolutions declaring they would do everything that was honorable for the election of Harding and Coolidge, and they meant that thing. Mrs. Coppin, the wife of the Bishop, made some speech, believe me, honey, and it was to the women. She is a strong woman, and a scholar. Of course you know that she is a medical doctor, and a good one at that.

After the ceremony a reception was held at the residence from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion with flowers and exotic plants. The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of white satin trimmed in seed pearls, lace, and embroidery; veil and orange blossoms; and the groom in conventional black. The bride groom were the recipients of many valuable and useful presents coming from all parts of the country. After the reception the bride and groom retired to their beautiful home 431 Parallel avenue, Kansas City, Kansas, where they will be glad to meet all their friends. BONNER SPRINGS, KANS. Rev. E: J. Eatman, who was sent here for this year as pastor of the A. M. E. church, has started off nicely and the people feel that he will do a great work here this year. The First Quarterly meeting for this conference year will be held Sunday, October 10, when the new presiding elder, Rev. A. C. Terrill, will be present. FORECAST FOR KANSAS CITY AND VICINITY From October 8 to October 15: Generally mild temperature; colder at night; shifting winds; showers probable; not much change--By C. F. Collins, Astro., 1305 Michigan avenue, Kansas City, Mo. ADVOCATE LITTLE TO CODIFY ALL LAWS OF THE Our Congressman, Colonel Little, is Chairman of the Revision of Laws, one of the most important Committees in Congress. His bill will contain all the general and permanent laws of the United States, made into one great code, so that a judge or a lawyer can turn over the leaves of one bok and find all the law thoroughly codified. It is a wonderful compliment to our district that our Congressman serving only his second term should be intrusted with so all important a task. This has been done only once before in this country and that was by Benjamin Butler and Roscoe Conkling, forty years ago. Col. Little's work has been shown in the moving pictures and his picture has been printed with accounts of his work in a thousand daily newspapers in this country, including those of the great cities. The New York Daily Post, the most dignified of them all, gave him a column and a quarter the other day, a part of which we herewith reprint: New York Post, September 13, 1920: The Little bill is quite certain to be the biggest bill before Congress in December. It will contain more than 2,000,000 words, grouped in 11,000 sections, under sixty titles. Eight thousand sections have been set up by the Government Printer and the remaining sections are practically ready for printing. Representative Sisson, a Democrat, suggested at the last session that the Little bill, when enacted, be designated "the Little Code." This compliment was over partisan barriers, as it was aimed at a Republican- Representative Edward C. Little of the Second Kansas District, a second-termer, some time Minister Resident to Egypt and Judge of the Extra-Territorial Court there, Lieutenant-Colonel under Fred Funston in the Philippines, and Bachelor of Didactics as wel las B.A., A.M., and L.L.D. by grace of the University of Kansas. Representative Little, as head of the House Committee on Revision of the Laws, has just about completed a codification of the Acts of Congress for the hundred-odd years prior to March 4, 1919, when the existing Sixty-sixth Congress assembled. At various times almost every legislative body or municipal council decides to codify the laws or ordinances handed down by the fathers, It is not a rich graft—just a few thousand dollars for an attorney or a couple of attorneys who equip themselves with paste-pot and shears, scissor up some paper copies of the statutes, paste 'em up, re-number the sections, write in citations, and send the copy to the printer. The New York State Legislature for some years has been appropriating money for a Statutory Revision Commission, and every once in a while the New York City Board of Aldermen codifies the ordinances and then proceeds to make them obsolete by amendments and new ordinances. Work Pays for itself. But Representative, Little has made revision and codification of the United States laws pay for itself and ht, October leave a surplus for the war-weary United States treasury. As he went over the thirty-six volumes of the Statutes-at-Large, published since 1874, he discovered that there was no statuture authorization for the Board of Ordnance and Fortification, War Department. Yet for forty-two years that Board has been receiving appropriations despite the law that no appropriation be made unless previously authorized. Legally no fort or cannon could be paid for unless authorized by law. This board was found to have unexpended balances of $230,000. The Secretary of War, when he heard of board, abolished it, withdrew a request for $58,000 new appropriations and gave up to the national treasury the unexpended balance. Thus Representative Little's revision and codification of the laws shows a balance on the credit side. The revision and codification of 1874 the first since Congress began to grind out session laws, cost $100,000. Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, Civil War soldier and later Presidential candidate, was then chairman of the Committee on Revision, which is forty-seven years old. Under Chairman Butler and later with Luke Poland as chairman, the committee compiled and consolidated and codified, and Congress re-enacted what is now known as the revised Statutes of the United States. Between 1897 and 1906 a commission, sustained with $200,000 from the United States Treasury, attempted a second codification, and printed a report termed "Revised Laws of the United States." But Congress suspected that the revisers might be slipping something over and refused to pass the bill, which would have re-enacted the laws in compilation. Representative Little expects to offer to Congress a perfectly good compilation of continuing laws, enacted since the first Congress and up to the convening of the Sixty-sixth for about $15,000. That sum can be debited against the $288,000 foresworn by the War Department. Eighty-five thousand dollars was the original estimate for printing the compilation—that is, just for printing it as a bill, as other bills before Congress are printed. But the Bachelor of Didactics from Kansas conceived the idea that when the Government Printing Office was setting up in type this 2,000,000-word bill, it printing bills before Congress as publication as a law-book. The study of existing Federal statutes for the codification developed no statutory mandate for printing bilsl before Congress as they are printed. So the Little bill, of which has been introduced in the House to secure the designation, "H. R. 9389," and to which further matter will be added as amendments to the bill, is to be printed and furnished to Congressmen, practically in the form in which it will be published as a law book. If passed by both houses the words "an act" will be substituted for "a bill" in the preamble, and the word "approved" the date and the signature of the President will be added at the end of the bill. With these changes the pages forming th. 2,000,000-word bill can be stereotyped for publication (Concluded on Fourth Page) NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS On and after November 1st scriptions will be cut out.

In spite of a rainy night, Professor Porter's preparations had filled the hall with people from all over Johnson county. Colonel Little told some new and interesting stories of Booker Washington that he acquired while at Washington from Southern members. The Democratic Congressman from Mr. Washington's District told our Congressman that Booker Washington was the greatest educator that ever lived. The Colonel told how he attended his first National Republican Convention in 1888, and how Bob Ingersoll, the greatest orator in the world, said something the immense audience didn't like and they wouldn't let him proceed and raged and stormed for an hour, refusing to hear anybody though Senators, Congressmen and judges of National repute tried to get their attention and quiet the disturbance. Finally Frederick Douglass, tall, with long white hair, came forward and stretched out his hand like the mighty patriarch he was, and with a wonderful oration on Republicanism, stilled that vast audience. Our Congressman pictured the progress made by the colored people for the last half century and drew a more vivid picture of what they will accomplish in the next fifty years. His address drew constant and earnest applause, and at its close the audience came up and shook hands with him, one by one. As the orator entered, a choir of thirty, organized by Prof. Porter, was singing, and the Congressman b gan by saying, "You people have something now after fifty years to sing about. The Alabama Congressman from Booker Washington's district told me that he attended Mr. Washington's funeral and how wonderful was the singing of the vast choir of all those students. He recited how moving was the music when that vast throng of students sang, 'Swing low, sweet chariot, come for to carry me home,' and," continued Colonel Little, "The Alabama Congressman said "I never expect to hear anything again as sweet, until I hear the angels singing in Paradise." WOMEN'S REPUBLICAN CLUB The Women's Republican Club of the Third Ward met at Republican headquarters, Sixth and State streets Monday evening, September 20th, to hear Mrs S. S. Beggs, state chairman of Topeka, who gave a splendid talk with sound reasoning, why the women of our state and country, ought to support the Republican nomniees. Mrs: E. A. Enright and Mrs. Early also made fine remarks to the Club. SUBSCRIBERS For 1, 1920, all Monthly sub- We are forced to do this on ent collectors. Three Months subscriptions to any subscriber.

AN EDUCATOR To know books, with some people is like unto the man with bees in his bonnet, all the while making a noise and doing nothing. We could easily point out many such so-called educators who are noising their way through our schools, making the student believe their imparting knowledge is mightier than a ten-acre field of buzzsaws. The teacher or educator of today is one who thinks and not only for himself but is able to think for others, so much so, that minds may be, as charged batteries hooked up with the feed wire to that brain power-house of knowledge. If one has a dollar, he has one hundred cents; if he has one-half of a dollar, he has fifty cents, or one-half the power of the one hundred cents. So it is with many of our school men; they possess only one-half of what they ought to have as an educator. ```markdown ``` We beg pardon for personating, and are not in the least casting any reflections on any of our educators, but we believe that our colored night school has, in the person of Mr. J.P. King, one of the ablest educators and most efficient principals that our board of education could find in weeks of travel. We only say this from concrete results. It's not a miracle, as some would like to put it, but he has that one hundred per cent, and knows how to impart it. THE JAPANESE ARE REALLY HUMAN. Such a notion does not seem to occur to some of our fellow citizens if we listen to what some people say. According to the Literary Digest for October 2, 1920, The Tokio Mainichi, a leading paper, has this to say: "God gave America to humanity as a whole, not to the Anglo-Saxon alone. It is against the will of God for a particular race to monqpolize a land of America's natural resources and exclude all other races. God has not given the rich resources of America to the Americans alone. If God is so partial as that, it is a devil masquerading in the name of God. Primarily, land resources are a common property of mankind. The globe is for all mankind, not for a particular race alone. A land with large resources is under obligation to support a large population, and the inhabitants of a region lacking in resources has the right to emigrate to other places richly endowed by nature. This right was given to mankind by God, and in emigrating to America the Japanese are only using it." All the Japanese Islands comprise only so much territory as embraces California. But of this only 15% is tillable. The Japanese are already too numerous for this limited space. But the United States is unwilling that Japan spread in China, right adacent to the isles, and will not hear to the thrifty little people coming to America. Then where will the United States permit the Japanese to go? Has anybody forgot that Commodore Perry, as late as 1854 forced this people to allow Americans to enter their country against all their protests and over all their opposition. Now what is the objection to the presence of the Japanese in our country? They contribute to the art of the country in their inimitable way. They work cheaper than anybody else They keep their own council. They save their money. They take no part in broils and rough play and destruction of property. They under no circumstances force themselves on the other fellow's society. They peacefully go about their business. They throw no bombs.

CHURCH NEWS One of the largest attendance seen at First Church were present at the morning service Sunday. The day was beautiful and the people seemed to have the church spirit. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, filled his pulpit delivering a most intellectual and spiritual sermon. Saddened and gloomy countenances were made to brighten with a smile when the sunlight of God poured into their souls from the words of this great embassador. The pastor preached to another ex-extra large audience at evening ser when some connected themselves with the church. The church is preparing for a sinkilling capaign, which will begin next Sunday. An evangelist of power will have charge, assisted by the pastor and other divines. Every home in our community may be made a temple of God, through the consecrated effort of the Christian people of this city. May each of our homes become a living spirit for the Master's cause. Tell your neighbor at home and those you meet on the streets daily, about this coming revival. The assistant pastor, Rev. Alex. Jones, had charge of Allen Chapel last Sunday in the absence of the pastor, who was at his annual conference. The attendance of the Sunday school is good, and its growth is encouraging for the church of tomorrow. The Church Auxiliaries are all starting off for this conference year with that spirit of doing things. Some of the members of the church started last Sunday in paying their dollar money. A splendid idea. The church made up a large purse last Sunday for the sexton, Brother Samelton, who is badly crippled with rheumatism, and sent him Tuesday to Excelsior Springs, where he will take a two weeks' treatment. The church sends their prayers with him that he may return to us greatly benefitted. Brother Samelton is a deserving Christian man. in gobbling up America on the plea that the Indian had all this land and was not developing it. In fact, Western Europeans have ventured upon their colossal colonization schemes upon the theory that the people among whom they came were not using the land to its full capacity. That theory, if applied in the case of the Japanese, would entitle them to California. Seeing that they get more out of the land they till there than any other people in that vicinity get out of any similar tract of land. A GREAT UNIVERSITY LOST ITS OPPORTUNITY. Some weeks ago the Baltimore Afro-American, and last Sunday the Kansas City Journal in an editorial lamented the fact that the electors failed to enroll Fredercik Douglass in the Hall of Fame. That was no calamity. It is a greater honor to the University than to Douglass to list his name among the notables. Douglass holds a place in America that no white man can approach even remotely. A mere slave, unaided save by a black woman, unrecognized by his father, burst his own bonds, cracked those of his race, became a peerless and much-sought orator and by his pure personal worth made a reluctant country proclaim him its diplomat, the peer of the great men of two continents. Mr. Claude L. Jones, an attorney-at-law, formerly of the firm of Martin & Jones, of Wichita, Kansas, has located in our city, and has associated himself with the law firm of Booker & Clark, 514 Minnesota avenue. Lawyer Jones is a bright young practitioner and his success here no doubt will keep pace with other young members of the bar. The Advocate wishes for him an honest, courageous success.

NOTES FROM THE N, A. A. C. P. N .A. A. C. P. will postpone its meeting Friday, October 8, until Fri- day week, October 15 in order to af- ford an opportunity for the members who are desirous of hearing Senatot Harding Friday evening, October 5, at Convention Hall. The mass meeting under the man- agement of N.A.A.C.P. at Rey, Geo- McNeal’s church was indeed a suc- cess. The attendance was best the association has witnessed. Prof. J. P. King presided and leading mem- bers of both races were premitted to discuss race betterment and better citizenship. The report of the Eleventh Annual Conference at Atlanta, was given by the delegate, Mrs, H. G. Dwiggins. Jt was descrpitive, complete and well delivered, The ovation by the audience was great. It was generally admitted by all the best report ever given by any delegate, Many mem- -berships were taken. MUSICIANS’ SECOND ANNUAL BALL. The Musicians’ Union, Local 627, A. F. of M., are now hard at work preparing for their second annual bail to be given at Convention Hall, Thursday, November 4. Director Cooper, of the Second Regiment Band, has been commissioned to as- semble and rehearse a band of fifty pieces and they are already at ‘In- ternational pitch,” preparing to ren- der the jazzingest—no—the jazzest— no—the most jazzuistical program of dance numbers ever heard in this monumental structure. They are trying to raise, jin time, sufficient funds to buy,-or build suitable ‘head- quarters, and the money from this affair will be placed in a sinking fund, for that purpose. Tilford Da- vis, Jr. is president of this now truly splendid organization, which, under his quiet and unassuming leadership, has grown steadily un- til, both in membership and finances, it has long since passed the experi: mental stage, besides dignifying and protecting the musician who would live by his profession, “™ PIPE ORGAN RECITAL. The pipe organ recjtal by Prof. R. G. Jackson, at First A. M. E. church last Wednesday evening, September 29, was quite a success, .

I met C. C. Wilson, the editor of The Truth; H. W. Jamerson, of the conference; Dr. Barksdale, editor of the Western Christian Recorder; and he told me about the death of Mrs. J. R. Ransom, Dr. J. C. Caldwell, who is to be a bishop in the A. M. E. church, and I will tell you more about it later. I could not name all the good people I met while in that section of the world. I made it back to Paducah, talked with Dr. Davis, to Louisville, and you see I am in Frankfort, and one more time at the home of T. L. Brooks, the leading carpenter in Frankfort, and a hard worker in the First Baptist church. He came here at a time when the memory of man knoweth not, but he was from Charlottesville, Va., where he had some standing and brought it to Frankfort with him, and won the heart and hand of Mrs. M. L. Hocker, a daughter in one of the leading families in Kentucky, and a product of the State University, under the late William J. Simmons. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hocker, both alive. She is a worker in the church by the side of her husband and both of them sing in the choir. Of course they made me welcome to their home, and I was glad to be there. God bless them until the end of time. Mr. and Mrs. Brooks are devoted to Mr. and Mrs. Hocker, and is a fine thing. Mrs. Brooks represented Kentucky in the Supreme Court of Calanthe in Atlantic City, and will be on hand in Topeka, Kansas, next summer. Things are getting ready for the great meeting. God bless all of the people, as I have so many things to say and do in this world. Come along with me and I will do thee good. I will have to bring this letter to a close. I have been riding in the car of Mr. and Mrs. James C. Brown, have seen Miss M. E. Williams, the young teacher, who is old enough to get married, and has plenty wealth.,Prof. W. H.

MIDNIGHT. thus saving immeasnely on the cost of what would ordinarily be dual publication of identic matter. With $15,000 for compilation and an equal sum for printing the bill, Representative C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia stated on the floor of the House that revision and codification under the supervision of the Kansas member would save the taxpayers $288,500 in estimates cut under and unexpended balances recovered. Apparently there is a Little family trait working toward order and system and consolidation and indexing of statutes. Will T. Little, brother of the Kansas representative codified the Oklahoma laws following the first session of the legislature of that commonwealth, which began lawmaking at the very height of the latter-day crade for statutory innovations and reforms. Will Little did a thirty-day and thirty-night job which still commend sitself to the codifiers of his state. Representative Edward Little recruited as revisionists ten attorneys in different parts of the country, men who like to dig into law tomes and compare and digest and rearrange and eliminate and renumber, mostly for the sake of the rare fun they derive from that sort of thing. They were paid from the $15,000 given the Revision Committee. Some of them were university law professors who worked in their vacation periods. Congress Likes Muddles. Chairman Little admitted that they were right, but insisted that muddle and inexactness by Congress was the highest wisdom. The 1897-1906 revision failed because suspicion was aroused when Congressman learned that experts had corrected and polished the muddled phraseology that probably had suited the lawmakers. One professor quit, saying he wouldn't be a rubber stamp. But he decided afterward that it was right to let Congress write the laws and for the revisionists to attend to the mechanics of publication. The Little bill when enacted will be designated "The Code of the Laws of the United States," and may come to be known among lawyers as the Little Code. It will be complete up to March 4, 1919. Since then some very important new general laws have been enacted, including the Army Reorganization Act, the Diplomatic (Passport) Act, the Waterpower Act, the Merchant Marine Act, the Transportation Act, etc. The THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Mrs. Jackson's Epileptic Fits Little Code will be faulty in that it will include the Army organization law repealed last June. But the revision law provides or compilation up to the date of the assembling of the existing Sixty-sixth Congress. Laws passed during the present Congress may be included in an appendix. Mrs. Ella Smith's sister from St. Louis is visiting her on North Third street. TEMPLE NOTES The services Sunday, October 3rd, were more largely attended than the large meetings the three preceding Sundays. The publicity committee never tiring in her work of advertising. At 11 a. m., a large congregation assembled to greet the pastor on his return from his vacation. He preached ferevently from Rv.1:19 on the "Ark of the Covenant." Many enjoyed it and showed their appreciation. At the close, he led all in singing "Amazing Grace." A large collection was taken up. Mrs. Alice Browne announced the opening of Sumner Night school changed to Monday, October 11th. At 8 p. m., a very large night audience gathered to hear Pastor Holmes tell of his trip. He and Mrs. Holmes attended the National Baptist Convention in Indianapolis, and then went from there to New York City. He said there were 3,500 delegates n Indianapolis and the B. Y. P. U. Board forwarded $89,560 and other boards collected $380,550.60; also the committee on enrollment reported $8,000. Said, "his wife sang two or three places in the East and is a good singer." He preached in Indianapolis and in Chicago, at the largest church in the United States. Visited Senator Harding at Marion, Ohio, with 199 other preachers. Saw Rockefeller's church on Fifth avenue in New York and other great things and our large Baptist churches while in New York. The West has the most brand new churches, but in the East, our people keep best order while taking up collection. He wrote to the publicity committee while he was away "That Metropolitan is the greatest church in the world, and that she is the greatest publicity chairman because she keeps things going. Mrs. Holmes visited Fort Madison, Iowa, and Pastor Holmes visited Excelsior Springs enroute home. He thanked those who helped send him away. The writer was glad to hear from New York as she has been there. After his interesting talk, four joined the church; also a convert. Next Sunday, October 10, he will preach a text that the Holy Spirit has been directing him to preach. Everybody come and hear it. WHITELAW DRUG STORE 3091 N. 27th St. Kansas City, Kan.

About six years ago I was taken with convulsions. I had fifteen convulsions in about three hours. I had two doctors with me and the worked them out. They told me I had three weeks before I knew where I was. I stayed at the hospital for four weeks. Then my husband took me home. I went to work with convulsions. I would over two years ago when I had four very hard convulsions, at one time, a lady friend told me of Dr. Kline's Epileptic Remedy. I was anxious to try hospital care. I got one bottle and took it and it made me feel a little better, so my husband said to continue it, which I did. I felt better and my life. If this little will help anybody that has that kind of trouble, I hope they will take your Epileptic Remedy, as I believe it will cure them as has cured me. (Signed) Mr. W. G.
