SEGREGATION ILLEGAL LET'S HAVE A NEW NEGRO HOSPITAL Do You Know That Advertising is the Life of Trade and the Only Real Business Getter VOLUME X. NUMBER 11. JUSTICE PREVAILS Negro Segregation in South Abolished Supreme Court's Decision Against Louisville Affects Many Other Cities. Washington, Nov. 5. — Louisville's Negro secregregation ordinance was today declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The decision affects similar ordinances in Baltimore, Richmond, St. Louis and many other Southern cities. In rendering the opinion, Justice Day said: "The authority of the state to pass laws in the exercise of the police power, having for their object the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare, is very broad and has been affirmed in numerous and recent decisions of this court. But it is equally well established that the police power, broad as it is, cannot justify the passage of a law or ordinance which runs counter to the limitations of the federal constitution. "That there exists a serious and difficult problem arising from a feeling of race hostility, which the law is powerless to control and to which it must give a measure of consideration, may be freely admitted. But this solution cannot be promoted by depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges. The right which the ordinance annulled was the civil right of a white man to dispose of his property if he saw fit to do so to a person of color and of a colored person to make such disposition to a white person. "We think this attempt to prevent the alienation of the property in question to a person of color was not legitimate exercise of the police power of the state and is in direct violation of the constitution." St. Louis, Nov. 5.—The Negro segregation ordinance of St. Louis never has been operative, as its enforcement was enjoined by the federal district court. NEGROES REAL PATRIOTS Majority of Those Drafted Anxious to Serve. Is it because they have fewer responsibilities than the white men that claims for exemption by negroes who registered for the selective draft of June 5 last are so few that they appear as negligible when compared with the large percentage filed by his white brothers? Or is it that the American negro is more naturally a patriot when his country needs his services? There are those who hold to the first opinion and many more who believe that the Ngro is a natural born patriot. "It is remarkable how few claims for exemption were filed by Negroes who have been certified for service," said Matt Hall, chairman of the district appeal board, yesterday. "And the few who did file claims appeared to have valid reasons for exemption. "I recall one Negro who was certified from a county east of here. He had made no claim for exemption when he registered and filed none after he had been certified here. Therefore, he was sent to Camp Funston with hundreds of others who have gone from this district lately. "After he had gone there a white citizen of his county called on the board and drew attention to the Negro's case. He said the man was a farm hand and never had been known to be idle. Also that the Negro had a wife and three children depending on him for support and they would become objects of charity if the government took him away. "The citizen was advised to bring these facts before the board, in the proper form. This was done, the case of the negro was reopened and he was exempted and sent back home." It was learned later that the Negro had made no claim for exemption himself because he regarded it as his duty The Kansas City Sun DISCOVERY.

They are Showing More Pep and Enthusiasm Than Any Others Thus Far, and Keep Soldiers Laughing. Camp Funston, Kas.,—Big Bert Williams and McIntyre and Heath have been pulling a laugh occasionally with their footlight capers, but theirs is "funeral stuff" compared to the stunts put on by this camp. There are hundreds of Bert Williamses here with a big show going on all the time. And it's all free. Even the glum-faced pessimists who predicted evil with the coming of the negroes are admitting that thus far the Negroes have shown more pep and enthusiasm than any contingent that has arrived. There have been more hearty, wholesome laughs in camp since yesterday morning than there have been for a week, and the negroes aren't doing all the laughing, either. Each arriving train brings in a few of the Negroes, cheering, singing, playing instruments that range from a bass horn to a banjo. Yesterday a special train arrived with 580 of them from Missouri points. Big Negro Leads Contingent. There were big fat Negroes; little skinny ones; short, fat ones; dandies with silk sox and red, white and blue caps, and the work-a-day kind with patches on their trousers. One big black from Macon, Mo., fully 6 feet 6 inches tall, wore a bright red uniform of a minstrel show of bygone days and proudly led his quota up to the receiving station. Bowing and scraping he handed the papers to Lieut. Walter L. Schmitz, receiving officer. Many of them brought razors, carried in sheathes at their hips, and declared they "didn't need no other weapon." A little fat Negro from southern Missouri had a big fat 'possum which will be his company's mascot—until Thanksgiving day. Then he'll be dinner. Musical Instruments, But No Clothes. Some of the Negroes didn't even have coats to keep off the cold wind, but clutched tightly to a cornet, a guitar or a banjo. Col. E. M. Bigelow, who has been taking charge of the Negro troops as they arrive, is leaving it to the medical officers to say whether or not the Negroes shall take cold baths immediately on their arrival. Negroes are very susceptible to pneumonia and as there is no warm water now, it is probable the cold shower will be postponed for a while. The men are being given a uniform, all are being given good warm clothing and overcoats Plenty of bed clothing also is being issued. The Sun Goes to 36 States and Canada.

They are being quartered in barracks formerly occupied by depot brigade troops that were sent to other training camps to fill out national guard organizations. Musical Midway Noisy. "Musical Midway," the place has been designated unofficially by the men of the 89th division, because of the noise that bursts forth there each night. Already a dozen orchestras have been organized; there are a score of "porter quartets," to say nothing of banjoists and soloists who seek to outdo each other. There'd be about 100 bands in the 92nd division if the men of that unit had their say. Although organization is scarcely under way, the Negroes are learning the 'one-two-three-four' stuff in great style. They keep time beautifully; they're strong on rythm, but they are just a bit inclined to put in a fancy dance step now and then. When the commander of one company asked if there were any men who had had experience in waiting tables, all but nine stepped forward.—K. C. Post. NATIONAL ART LEAGUE. The National Historical Art League, represented by its president, Mrs. Francis R. Givens of Louisville, Ky., held a most enthusiastic meeting Monday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. under the auspices of the City Federation of Women's Clubs, Mrs. L. A. McCampbell, president. The purpose of the National Historical Art League is to perpetuate the history of our artists, authors, leaders, heroes, and to provide a training school in the Fine Arts to develop the talent of the Negro race. The Women's League, the oldest club, was the first to pledge membership. Six others fell in line, and the others have it under consideration. Following a quarrel, Harry Davis, a negro, 57 South James street, met his wife, Florence Davis, 22 years old, last night at Meyers avenue and James street, and shot her in the right arm and right side with a shotgun. She was taken to the Bethany hospital. It was thought she will recover. Davis is being sought by the police. Why, send them THE KANSAS CITY SUN!

The Hanging Bough It Covet Love Affair By Kea: Brogan the well appointed new study and tock up his pen to write. Here in the se- clusion of the country he had promised himself to finish undisturbed the book which should add to bis fame. Everything had seemed propitious to that end—the small rented bungalow, its peaceful setting of silencing hills, the absence of interrogating friends. ‘Old Martha, the housekeeper whom he had brought with him from the city, attended interrigently to ail his wants, Now, into all this desirableness came the disturbing element, a great ever- gteen branch hanging like a screen- ing curtain before his very windows. Against its thick fragrance the sun battled hopelessly, while the study re- mained in sem!-gloom. If the bough had been attached to a tree upon his own lawn the matter might have been quickly righted, but the particular tree of this down hanging branch grew on his neighbor's ground, upon the oppo- site side of the high garden wall, Gordon had carelessly noticed the place as he came along, the old crum- bling house, the broken statuary and basins of its gardens bespeaking a time of grandeur long past. Disgustedly at last the author threw down his pen. “It's no use,” he told the attentive ‘pit laconic Martha; “we will have to move the study some place else.” “You could not write in the open living room,” she answered truly. The old bungalow's space was limited. “Phen I will ask them to cut the bough down,” he said, and paused per- plexedly. “Who lives there?” “The name on the door stone is Stuyvesant,” Martha replied, “Peter Stuyvesant, That is all I know, o So Gordon decided ‘to pen his re- quest, Being in an impatient frame of mind at the moment, his request was more in the nature of a demand, “Phe bough hanging before my study widow,” he wrote, “causes me much inconvenience and annoyance. I must ask that it be immediately removed. “J. Wesley Gordon,” he signed and re- membered with satisfaction that there were few to whom the name was un- known. ‘Martha was dispatched with the note, returning soon to say that, as no one had responded to her ring, she had ropped the missive into the Stuyve- sant mail box, Gordon was folding away the frag- mentary work of an unsuccessful after- noon when the answer came, a freckled faced lad being the bearer. “Phe impertinent old Dutchman!” be muttered, for this is what he read: “If you would prefer to have the left wing of our house removed just men- tion that also, P. Stuyvesant.” ‘The scattered pages of his day's work mocked him. Duskily through the screening branch flickered a shifting light, and heatedly Gordon reached for his pen. “It that bough,” he wrote, “4s not cut down by 9 o'clock tomorrow, I will go over and do it myself.” ‘This time he contented himself with algning merely the letters “J. W. G.” When the second note in Martha’s apron pocket was passing through the gateway broken in the garden wall, Gordon reflected that he had been rath- er hasty. The Dutchman's imprudence to a “personality” had rather nettled him, For though the author would not admit the fact to himself, subservience had become a custom, Back through the broken gateway again came Martha, silently placing a responsive note in his hand, “Cut the branch down,” was scrawl ed in bold defiant script, “Cut the branch down, if you dare! P, Stuyve- sant.” Gordon's brows came together angri- ly; then he laughed. “A threat, eh?" he said; “all right.” He turned to the waiting Martha, “The affair become: interesting,” he said, “I will now ge out my gasoline buggy and run inti town.” At the very end of the stragglins village street he found a hardware shop and bought a saw, then he added to his purchase a small shining ax. He smiled grimly as his car slowed down nearing the great, shabby house next door. From a rear window shone @ light. Gordon had a mental picture of a fat, stubborn old Dutchman smok ing his evening pipe in the kitchen, “Preparation for onslaught upon the tree of Peter Stuyvesant,” he explain ed to Martha, as he left his implements in the back hall. It was in a long forgotten spirit of boyish adventure that he sought them next morning, and sauntered through the break in the stone wall. All wa: still, The old house and its garden presented an appearance of having been asleep for a hundred years, Gor don was glad he had put on tennis shoes; he would be able to climb uy Mke © squirrel, and when the branct had fallen neatly he would carry it over and place it against their verands palings, to show his accomplished pur. fierce jawed brute, its bloodshot eyes fixed upon the approaching author, its body trembling with rumbling, threat- ening sounds. So this was the “dare.” Strange the possibility had not oc curred to him, ‘To go forward farther was very evi dently useless. In fiight—at least for the present—lay Gordon's safety. Ig- nominiously he retreated. As he en: tered the hallway Martha's eyes asked the question her lips would not. “I am going out later,” Gordon con- fusedly explained, “to cut the thing down.” But when he went out later the dog had advanced to the gap in the wall, his lapping jaws seeming to speak disappointment in the ending of the fray. Gordon smoked his pipe for half an hour that evening in the shelter of the bungalow porch before deciding upon a further course of ac- tion. At last he got up and searched out an old revolver, overlooking its cas- ings, Never before had its protection been needed, He shook his head serl- ously at old Martha, “With an ugly brute like that across the way,” he explained. Then Gordon wrote his last note of warfare. “I am going over tomorrow to saw the branch from your tree. If the dog fg there I shall shoot him on the spot. “J, W, GORDON.” Martha's face was quite white when she brought back the reply. “That dog,” she explained, “he sits under the tree and growls, It makes me tremble to look at him.” “qhe dog is a thoroughbred,” read the answering note. “If you shoot you will pay every cent he is worth. It's a good deal. “P, STUYVESANT.” Gordon pondered. Some of these brutes, he realized, were worth thou- sands of dollars, and the animal being on {ts owner's premises would make him entirely accountable. It was a confounding situation. Nevertheless he ventured forth upon the following morning; but, while he was formidably armed with saw and ax, the revolver reposed in a drawer of his desk—and the dog was not there. Gordon breath- ed a sigh of relief. So his threat had frightened old Peter, after all! It was no task at all to cllmb to the high base of the drooping branch. Easily he swung himself out upon a neighboring limb and fitted the saw. ‘A panting sound attracted his atten- tion, and he glanced downward, The dog had arrived at his post in a mad rush, ‘The author muttered an impre- cation. So this was the plotted scheme to wait and pin him up there help- lessly? He might aim the ax at the dog's head, of course, but the brute was a thoroughbred, and it might mean more perhaps than the launching of his new book. Gordon bent down and whis- tled peaceably. A flerce grow! follow: ed, echoed suddenly by a girl's smoth: ered laughter, ‘Phe author wheeled about on his swaying limb. At the back of the tree stood a young woman. ‘That she had been engaged in silent laughter was | evident from the furtive dabs at her still glistening eyes. “Oh, dear!” gasped the girl, “Oh, dear; it was so funny!” Gordon, speechless, was acutely aware of the beauty of her mass of bronzed hair gleaming in the sunlight, of the full red lips perting in helpless | laughter, “It has all been so funny,” she gur | gled—“yesterday when you started over so bravely and—and retreated at jthe sign of the bulldog, and today when with all those red axes and things you came like a whole fire de- | partment.” She bent to caress the doz |“What shall we do with him, Bobs?” ‘| she asked wickedly. ‘The poor man Is | frightened to death.” | Gordon made a franti¢ effort for dig ‘|nity as he clung to the uncertain bough | “1 would like to speak to Peter Stuyve | sant,” he said stiffly. ‘The girl shook her head, “You -}can't,” she told him. “Phere isn't any ‘| Peter Stuyvesant was my grandfather I never saw him, Bobs is the onl3 |relative I have.

JX Serio dy ‘ , MALE OSTRICH BUILDS NEST Gets on Eggs at Night During the In- cubation Which Lasts Forty to Fifty Days. After pairing, the ostrich begins to make his nest. It is the male alone that performs this duty. To do it, he squats upon the ground, and, balane- Ing himself upon his breastbone, seratches up the earth with his legs and throws It behind him. When he has dug out enough on one side to sult him he turns round and begins to dig on another side, and continues this operation until he has made a hole large enough for him to sit In comfort- nbly. A few days after the nest is finished the female begins to lay one ‘egg every alternate day for eighteen ‘or twenty days. She then rests for a while, which time varies from four to ten days, and then lays more. A pair of ostriches yield about forty eggs, though it is not unusual for a well-fed well-kept palr to yield fifty to sixty eRe. The eggs are placed so as to leave no space between them, The male and the female brood alternate- ly, At night the male Is always on the nest, as it possesses greater warmth than the female. ‘These birds perform thelr duties with the greatest skill, without any noise or breakage of the eggs, ‘The {incubation lasts forty-five days on an averuge, sometimes fifty days, but nev. er continues beyond that. When the chicklings hatch out they can be heard trying to break the shell of the egg Sometimes they succeed in doing so but usually the father breaks the eg: under the breast bone, tears the inside skin with his bill, and frees the chick ling. Upon first reaching the alr the chickling remains limp and weak, But the warmth of the parent soon revives {t, and a few hours afterward it be gins to run about, exercising its lon; legs, toppling over at each step, and recommencing again {ts stumbling Journey. Four days after their hatch ing the chicklings begin to eat. ‘They run after insects and swallow smal pebbles, ‘The father and mother di not help their little ones to find food Bluff of Foreman Failed. ‘Two of the nocturnal hosemen of the street cleaning department were en- gaged in wetting down the pavement near New York's busy corner at 45th street and 5th avenue. They were en- Joying their work as usual, wetting no one and searing everyone, when the foreman came strolling along and looked them over, A small group waiting for a bus hoped that the hap- py soakers were about to be scolded and the hope was gratified, “Well, well,” called the foreman, testily, “you'se guys ought to be up to 46th street, What about ye?” “Aw, we got to wet it down, ain't we?” callec the younger of the hosemen, “We ain't lingering around for the love o! it.” ‘The foreman walked over to th speaker as his companion turned of the water, “Don't get answering m back,” said the foreman. “If yot want to get anywhere in this depart ment, just do what you're told to dc and say nothing.” “Aw, forget it,” an swered the young hoseman again. “I ain't trying to get nowhere in this de- partment.

The interior of any one of the big orange packing houses in either Flor- fda or California shows a wonderfully systematic arrangement for grading and sizing the fruit. There are a dozen different sizes of oranges and so automatic is the grading that every box of oranges comes out with every orange almost the exact size of its companions. The result 1s oranges which sell in the far Eastern markets ‘as low as one cent aplece—from this to 50 or G0 cents a dozen, The only things which must be left to human Judgment is the throwing out of culls —imperfect, too ripe or too green specimens. Nowadays in both of the big orange growing states the orange business Is divided Into two distinct and separate industries—that of orange growing and that of orange packing and ship- ping. he latter is handled by co- operative associations and very few oranges are packed and shipped direct by the orange growers themselves. ‘The same conditions apply to lemons and grapefruit. Ale Ularelawta Predicament. An accident, without precedent la warfare, occurred to a French bomb: ing plane, and death was ayerted by a feat of daring which will long be re- membered, The airplane was about to descend after a raid, when the pilot discovered that two of his bombs had caught In the rigging below the car. It was impossible to land without ex- ploding them and blowing the frail craft to fragments, The gasoline was already running low and some desper- ate expedient must be attemptd within the next two seconds. While the pilot held his craft to an even keel the pas- senger crawled from his seat to the wing and thence to the rigging below. ‘The bombs must be released with the greatest delicacy to prevent thelr ex- ploding, Impossible as the feat seem- ed, it was at last accomplished and the passenger regained his seat in safety. Peychological Effect. “Why do you call your automobile a fiivver?” “We don't always,” replied Mrs. Chuggins, “When we speak of it in company we call it a motorcar, But when we take it to a repair shop we call it ‘a flivver, hoping it will influ: ence the man to be easy with the bill.’ Where War Does § aa | Not Inteude at i — Let ees ae ae a Le ise Pee e~ See ; ca a, RS 3 ma BER Oe ae Monastery of Hieropetamus.

Founded in Third Century. Although the remote history of the colony melts into misty legend, it Is generally believed that the first relig- fous settlements on the peninsula were made by refugees from the persecu- tions of the Iconoclasts eurly in the eighth century, ‘The legends of the monks attribute them to the age of Constantine, in the third and fourth centuries. Reference to the existence of the cluster of religious brother- hoods is made in historical documents of the ninth century. The claims of the monastery of Laura, founded about the middie of the tenth ceutury by St. Athinastus, appear to be well founded and to make it, Tor historical purposes, the most ancient of the monasteries. ‘There is reason to believe that Vatopethi is of about equal antiquity, According to the monastic accounts of Vatope- tht’s founding, it s the most venerable of all the tweuty, having been estab- lished by Theodosius in recognition of the providential rescue of his son from drowning on the coast near by, ‘The most recent of the monasteries, Stavronikitu, was founded In 1545, There are twenty of them. They fare situated on the Wooded and moun- talnous slopes of a peninsula which is forty miles in length and from four to seven miles in width, ‘The total population of the peuinsula ts about 7,000, Three thousand of the inhab- {tants are monks and the rest are lay brothers, Besides the twenty monasteries there are villages or settlements, {n+ habited mostly by artisans employed within the abbeys. Only precipitous, winding mule paths afford means of communication, As many races are represented in the population as might be expected in that cosmopolitan sec- tion of the Levant. ‘The monks them- selves are, for the most part, Greeks, but the monastery of Rossikon Is a stronghold of the Russians, and in others are Serbs and Bulgars.

All these dwell in harmony despite the schisms which the great war has made in the outside world, As monks they are divided into two schools, hoth of which adhere to the canon of St. Basil. One division hus the {dlo- rhythmic form of government, which allows considerable latitude to the in- dividual, although all goods are owned in common.

EDITORIALS. A Georgia Negro recently got so "big feelin'" that he bought himself an automobile. On the evening of the first day the "white folks" took him out, whipped him and made him return the auto and get his money back from the dealer. Now some Kansas City Negroes are wishing that "the white folks" would do them the same way. Things are slowly coming our way. The United States Supreme Court has rendered a decision declaring the Louisville segregation law unconstitutional. The decision will nullify the same prejudiced legislation of Baltimore and other southern cities that have attempted to compel colored people to live upon alleys and unsanitary side streets. --- The Sun is fully convinced that a housecleaning is badly needed at the City Hall and unless the present weak and vasculating administration does something tangible it will be overwhelmingly defeated next spring. Commission government is better than what we are up against now. It is said that the local registration board was astonished at the manifest patriotism of the colored men drafted for military service. Very few of these claimed exemptions upon any grounds whatever and all were eager to serve their country. This has been the continual history of our people, gentlemen. Of all the contingents of the American people the Negro is the only race that has never fired up on the stars and stripes. Now that the "Dear Ole Southern Mammy" is dead, peace to her loving memory, let the adoring white "chilun" whom she nursed and loved show their continued affection by a sympathetic and helpful attitude toward "Ole Mammy's" children and grandchildren. Help make a way for these to live decently, to maintain their moral dignity and self-respect. Let them have the same chance in life that has been accorded to you through the unrequited labors and trials of poor "Ole Mammy." From all reports, "After Office Hours," which comes to the Garden Theater for an engagement of one week, starting Sunday matinee, November 11th, 1917, is one of the big successes of the season. Written by Roy Foster, staged by James Castle and produced under the progressive management of Wood and Alston at Oscar Hammerstein's Lexington Opera House in New York, it registered an immediate and emphatic triumph, playing to the absolute capacity of the tremendous playhouse at every performance. It is said to be a play of intense interest, dealing with the career of a p pretty little eighteen-year old stenographer, whose unwise affection for her employer is the cause of her undoing. The management promises a sumptuous scenic production and a specially selected cast of Broadway actors. WHAT EVERY MAN AND WOMAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE BIBLE. This is the fifth book, by the Kansas City author, Sydney C. Tapp, on the sex of the Bible. In it, Mr. Tapp has laid bare, in no unmistakable terms, the destructible force of lust. He shows that it is lust, which is destroying the human family. The book is not vulgar. It is plain, but it rings with purity, and points to a better life here and hereafter. The great effect, for good, of this book, will be because it portrays the awful destructive force of sin and lust, and the beauty of pure living and holiness. It should be in the camp of the soldiers. Every soldier, now engaged in this great war, should have a copy of it. MME A.

This unsolicited letter was handed to us by Mr. Upton at the close of our examination, and after his board had examined every certificate in force by the American Woodmen. When it is remembered that not a half dozen fraternals have so high a valuation, we should all rejoice at this wonderful achievement of Negro big business. Mr. L. H. Lightner, Supreme Clerk, American Woodmen, Denver, Colo. Dear Sir: It affords me great pleasure to inform you that after carefully valuing your certificates for the closed calendar year, I find the American Woodmen stands well in the lead of most Fraternals of America with a valuation of 112.1 per cent. When it is considered that a large per cent. of the Fraternal Societies of the country have a valuation of less than 75 per cent, you are especially to be congratulated for the very excellent standing of the American Woodmen. Very truly yours. This letter proves to you the status of this society. Then you should waste no time to become a member. Local Office, 1315 E. 18th St., Phones: Bell, Grand 317; Mome Main 3963.

In the great drive all over the country to make the second Liberty loan a success, one of the most marked efforts to do their proportionate share was that of the Negro race. They were eager to make it plain that their people are no less litally interested than the white race in the success of the financial efforts of the United States to make its fight against the enemy as powerful and effective as dollars will make it. La Follette, and his kind of the Caucasian race, impeded the efforts of the government in its appeal for funds, but there was nowhere any member of the Negro race engaged in such reprehensible tactics. In Duluth the Negroes subscribed liberally of their means. In one hotel alone, $550 was subscribed. Then, within the week, Duluth has seen some worthy representatives of the race of Douglass and Dunbar, Carruthers and Booker Washington, entrain for service in the national army. They will make good. Let no one doubt that. In Kansas City, Mo., where of course the Negro race is very strong numerically as compared to Duluth, $100,000 was subscribed by its members for the second Liberty loan.

Betty & Sam's Little Corner A THEY SAY —That the average school teacher is ALWAYS "broke." Why? —That "cullud" folks am eating spah ribs, bones and all dese days. Hoover says; Save! —That there are yet some fool Negroes in Kansas City who boast of their color. Ain't that silly? —That when the Government says: Eat more corn bread, it's tickling "de cullud people." Dat's whah we shine. —That the Negro who tries to "make it" by sharp practices usually comes to an inglorious end. Be square. —That the average "big to do" Negro is the one who will not pay his debts. Takes all he makes to make an outside show. —That there's to be a widows' ball next month to which none will be admitted but widows. Well, if you want a good time, that's where to go. —That there is less religion and more grand standing in one certain big Church than in all the other churches in town combined. Guess which. —That if the Negroes of Kansas City will rally to our hospital campaign as they did to the Liberty Bonds, we will raise the $20,000 needed in four days. Let's do it. —That a certain woman has a habit of calling another woman and telling her to have her husband call her on some important business. Some day the wife will "call" and she'll have a full hand of clubs when she does.

SAMUEL DIXON, Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania. The present extremely high heels worn by the majority of American women, both old and young, mean deformity of the feet. X-ray pictures indicating the relation of the toes to the ground when they are encased in these high-heeled shoes, show that women are walking on the ends of their five toes. There is food for thought in the fact that the horse nowadays walks on a foot consisting of one toe, while in the more primitive animal there were three or five toes. The shape of the natural foot of man has a great variety of uses and it is one of the things that has helped to place him first in the life of the earth. The natural foot has been one of the anatomical facts that has helped him to his present high state of efficiency. The form of that foot has enabled him to become a good hunter, a good farmer, a good sailor, a good soldier—in fact, anything he has found it necessary through the ages to become, or finds now essential for the war we are fighting to continue our personal liberty. Let the butterfly girls and the other high-heeled old and young women stop and realize the value of the normal foot of man. Let them cut off the high heel and substitute the natural level. This might also work out to the interest of direct economy by using the surplus heel to make thicker soles on the shoes. Let us recognize the models of nature which have led us to success. If man's foot had been abused for an indefinite time in a way to have reduced it to a one-toed foot, resembling the horse's, he would have a hard time trying to fulfill his present duties in life. The high heel represents the fashion for the women of today and means a great discounting of the value of mankind, particularly if it is continued a long time. The present high heel is not only torturous but of great injury to the health. The mother must remember that she is partly responsible for the feet of her children and that if she wants them to have normal, strong feet she must keep them naturally shod. RIDDING THE FLOCK OF TUBERCULOSIS If your chickens are free from tuberculosis, every precaution, within reason, should be taken to keep that freedom. I don't know that it is spreading any faster than usual, but the interchange of birds, the buying of fowls on the open market for fattening purposes and allowing chickens to follow infected herds of cattle are some of the things that spread the disease, says a writer in Farm Progress. Tuberculosis is tuberculosis wherever it is found. If there happens to be a consumptive patient in the family or near the premises, see that the birds are kept away from any and all the patient's secretions. If the common-sense plan of burning the sputum and all other discharges is adopted, there will be little danger from this source. A chicken that acquires tuberculosis is a menace to the whole flock.

Washington Gladden, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Columbus, O., and was sung for the first time at a patriotic service in his church. The hymn is sung to the tune "Materna," better known as "O Mother Dear Jerusalem." O Land of lands, my Fatherland, the beautiful, the free, All lands and shores to freedom are ever dear to thee: All sons of Freedom hail thy name, and wait thy word of might, While round the world the lists are joined for liberty and light.

The germs of the disease are dropped in the dust, they are scattered through the yards, in the scratching places and the dust holes and on the edges of feeding troughs and watering vessels. Mother's Cook Book. If your apparel speaks too loudly it will drown the voice of your personality—R. W. Helms. Of course the best way of getting rid of the disease is to kill off the whole flock, burn the bodies, disinfect the premises and start all over again. But it is not very practical where you can ill afford the loss of the whole flock, to say nothing of having to start once more at the very beginning. This should not be done unless there is every indication that it is really tuberculosis that is killing off the birds. Sometimes the cholera is at fault when tuberculosis gets all the blame, but one is about as bad as the other. If the disease is known to exist in the flock and it is decided to fight it, no half-way measures will be of any use. The fight will have to be persistent and radical measures must be used. Every bird that shows signs of the trouble may as well be killed at once. There will be enough of them infected without any early external indications to make the slaying of the evidently diseased ones a necessity. Burn all the carcasses. There is no other way of getting rid of them. Where it is possible new yards and houses should be established for the apparently healthy birds. The old houses may as well be burned to the ground. They would be dangerous for years if allowed to stand. Where the houses are well built and of a permanent character they should be left standing, but all the fixtures, nesting equipment and other fixtures should be torn out and burned. Keep the droppings cleared away daily and use plenty of germicide on the walls, the floor and the roosts. Newly Discovered People. An interesting tribe on the Upper Amazon has been discovered, which, in its division of work, is reminiscent of the guilds of the middle ages. One portion makes clothing and nothing else, another one is purely agricultural; another devotes its time and labor to the construction of weapons and so on. Their pottery, however, is the most notable of their productions. Some of these jars are extremely large but very thin, although strong and durable. Some of the smaller vessels are almost as thin as paper. Where They Met. They were both returned soldiers and had just been introduced to each other. "Do you know," said one, "I can't help but think I have met you before." "And strangely enough, sir, I have a very similar feeling about you." "Were you at (censored) last July?" "I was, sir." "And were you present at the time the mine exploded and blew up the whole place?" "I was, sir." "Then, now I know where I have seen you before. I passed you as you were going up, and I was coming down."—Vera. Brides and Orange Blossoms. There is an old Spanish legend that soon after the importation of the orange tree, by the Moors, one of the Spanish monarchs had a specimen of which he was very proud and of which the French ambassador was extremely anxious to obtain an off-shoot. The gardener's daughter was aware of this, and in order to provide herself with the necessary dowry to enable her to marry her lover, she secured a slip which she sold to the ambassador at a high price. On the occasion of her wedding, in recognition of her gratitude to the plant which had procured her happiness, she bound in her hair a wreath of orange blossoms; and thus, so runs the legend, inaugurated the fashion which has become universal. Salt Superstitions The kernel of all the salt superstitions seems to be this: Salt cannot be corrupt, and has, therefore, the title to be regarded as a symbol of immortality. In Ireland it was for long the custom to place a pewter plate containing salt upon the heart of the corpse until burial. Then, with coals and holy water, it was thrown into the grave. by Rev. Washington Gladden, pastor of Columbus, O., and was sung for in his church. The hymn is sung to as "O Mother Dear Jerusalem." he beautiful, the free, are ever dear to thee: me, and wait thy word of might, are joined for liberty and light. dear!

For a make-believe pie pie to serve in a hurry, the following will be a success: Cut a few well-flavored, tart apples, put into a deep granite pie plate, season with sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg or in any way to suit the taste of the family. Over the top place slices of buttered bread, set into the oven and bake until the apple sauce has absorbed and softened the bread. Serve with cream and sugar. Such a pie will be found harmless for the children's dessert. It is also a good way to use left-over slices of bread. However, we are not supposed to have left-over slices of bread these days, as the old custom which was common in grandmother's day is being revived, that of cutting the loaf as the bread is needed on the table. A very economical way of avoiding left-overs. Prune Ice Cream Cover a cupful of prunes with cold water, and let them stand over night. In the morning cook in the same water until soft, remove the stones and put the fruit through aastrainer. Add a cupful of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a pinch of salt and one and a fourth cupfuls of heavy cream, whipped. Freeze. New England Thanksgiving Pudding. New England Thanksgiving Pudding. Roll crackers to measure a cupful and a fourth. Pour over them a quart of scalded milk and let stand until cool; then add one cupful of sugar four eggs, lightly beaten, one-third of a cupful of melted butter, a teaspoonful of salt and one-half a grated nutmeg. Cook a cupful and a half of raisins in just enough fruit juice to cover, or boiling water may be used. Remove when soft and plump. Mix all together and turn into a deep buttered pan. Set the pan in another containing water and bake in a slow oven three hours. Stir after the first half hour to prevent the raisins from settling. Turn on a serving dish and garnish with lemon slices or cubes of jelly, serve with hard sauce. Beans Without Pork. Now that pork of all kinds is so expensive try baking beans with olive oil or the still cheaper corn oil, called Mazola. To a pint of beans parboiled, add three tablespoonfuls of the oil, a teaspoonful of each salt and mustard, an onion dropped in whole and buried in the beans, and two tablespoonfuls of molasses. Add boiling water and bake as usual, at least half a day. Baked Pears. Put pears, unpeeled but cored, into a baking pan, and sugar, butter, lemon juice or vinegar and baste while baking. Bake in an earthen dish in a slow oven for several hours. The syrup to serve with the pears will be rich and brown by the long cooking. Neeleie Maxwell Around the World. Hawaii has 45 sugar plantations. India has 35,000 miles of railway. Hawaii is to have a new sugar factory. Madras is a large exporter of sandalwood. Hawaii is increasing sugar storage capacity. Canada in 1916 produced 14,365,000 tons of coal. United States will use 300,000,000 gallons of tar this year. Women Better Students. According to statistics recently compiled, women at the University of Wisconsin last year attained a higher scholarship than the men students, averaging 82.9 per cent to 80.6 for the men, while the average for men and women undergraduates was 81.3. Women who were members of sororities averaged 84.9, while nonsorority women averaged 82.1, which is contrary to the generally accepted idea that sororities tend to divert attention from work in college.

Adventure and romance spilled itself upon Dorothy's gentle head from the moment she seated herself upon the observation platform of the Overland Limited in San Francisco, where her mamma lives, and the wheels began to turn. "Oh, oh!" she cried. "My suitcase! I left it on the platform." A gallant bird hopped lightly over the brass railing, retrieved the careless, suitcase, caught the train and Dorothy Moore, later Dorothy Crosby, was thereby initiated into the world. The young man was a "millionaire actor," and before they got to Chicago he had told her of a hotel where actor people could live cheaply. But she sidestepped the lure. Dutifully she reported, she says, to the swell home of her aunt and uncle, the Spencer Crosbys, at Glencoe. Two days of kids and two nights of kids and Dorothy went away. Five weeks later she became a connoisseur of cabarets. The rabble in the courtroom listened aghast as she unrolled her stories of the "millionaires" she had met. Alas, the scene changes: The girl reporter presented herself at the place where Dorothy was staying, behind the bars. Judge Uhlir had said: "Let her sleep tonight behind a window with bars. Forget not that she tried to throw herself from a window." And so it was. Popular Recruit Bombarded With Wrist Watches DETROIT.—The popular recruit is having a hard time getting to rights these days.

DAY OF CIVIL WAR HARDTACK IS GONE Uncle Sam's Fighting Men Are Assured of "Three Squares" Every Day. FANCY CHEFS GIVEN LESSON Best In the Business Are Able to Learn Something From the Manual for Army Cooks, Says Wallace Irwin. By WALLACE IRWIN A few weeks ago the quartermaster general's department, faithful to its complicated task of supplying everything from shoes to sugar to a rapidly forming army of over a million men, telegraphed an appeal to 58 leading hotel proprietors throughout the country asking the loan of 3,840 chefs and expert cooks to teach the science of gastronomics to the kitchens of our 16 new cantonments. Now, the browned-in-the-oven old mess sergeants of our regular army cooking schools—of which four have flourished for many years—are willing and anxious to sit at the feet of the capable wizards who have fed Fifth avenue and Tremont street; but so great is the faith of the mess sergeant in the manual for army cooks, issue of 1916, that they pause reflectively in their scientifically arranged pantries and allow—quite unofficially—that maybe a few of those fancy chefs will go back to their hotels with one or two choice recipes well worth trying on the favored fellow who always gets by the plush rope and calls the head waiter by his first name. As a matter of fact M. Panchard, famous chef of the Hotel McAlpin, New York, was "loaned" a while back in order to gain sufficient knowledge of army, cookery to instruct National Guard kitchens in various New York armories. M. Panchard spent two days THE BOAT IS AT THE END OF THE TRAIN. THE BOAT IS AT THE END OF THE TRAIN. THE BOAT IS AT THE END OF THE TRAIN. THE BOAT IS AT THE END OF THE TRAIN. Bread From Field Bakeries. at Washington barracks, where he studied the culine for enlisted men; he went back to New York with his observations, together with a copy of the month's menu. Today the McAlpin serves—by the enthusiastic recommendation of M. Panchard—a "military luncheon," which is a duplicate of the noon meal which Uncle Sam dishes up for his boys. The price of this meal is 50 cents; and it is the highest compliment which Broadway can pay the army's camp and field mess. Embalmed Beef No More. Embalmed Beer No More. In fact, the day of Civil war hard-tack and Spanish war embalmed beef is "long gone." Emergency rations, of course, the soldier must carry to tide him over bad situations where the enemy fire is hotter than the bake ovens behind the line. But for feeding his armies in barrack and trench, Uncle Sam has become a domestic scientist who thinks in terms of nutritive values and a psychologist who realizes that the stomach's digestive juices will not respond unless the palate telegraphs its approval to the brain. Never before in the world's history have commanders of troops realized how absolutely an army "moves on its stomach." It would not be going too far to say that a unit in motion is organized around the commissariat. Closer than the artillery to the infantry, or the aviation division to elfier, comes the group of "rolling kitchens," which, their great kettles boiling merrily all day, go mule drawn into action behind the marching men. Soup is simmering, beef is stewing, the classic beans are heating as the doughy cook wagon bumps along. When the company halts for noon the efficient cook is ready to announce "dinner is served." In appearance it's as simple as the organization of a dining-car service; and in actuality many times as complicated. In the months to come, when our American "rolling kitchens" are perched reasonably out of range on a scarred field somewhere in France and our boys from home are emptying their plates of a generous helping of "El Rancho" stew, they may lift their bullet-proof helmets to the printed consoler, comforter, and friend which has followed them to the trenches—the manual for army cooks, issue of 1916. As a matter of history, the present How Herbert Hoover Impresses Men Arthur L. Millet in Boston Herald The American who fed stricken Belgium for three years, and who now is head of the United States Food Administration, makes us believe we can do what we ought to do, as a matter of patriotic service—Here's a good pen picture WASHINGTON.—Things have changed rapidly. The capitol and White House are dimmed by a plain vine-covered, six-story brick building (evidently used to be an apartment house or family hotel) on the corner of I and Sixteenth streets—that would pass unnoticed were it not for a plain black and white sign over one of the entrances which says In modest letters, "FOOD ADMINISTRATION," and the sight-seeing busses as they roll by slack up for an instant while the bally hoo through his megaphone impressively announces, "this is where Mr. Hoover is." That tells the story. To my mind congress may that tells the story. To my mind congress may resolute and chatter, the White House wires may whir steadily with messages fraught with grave import, but as I look at it today, the fate of this nation and her allies, the success of our own soldiers on the fields of France, depend in greatest measure on what is being consummated day after day in that unpretentious red brick building wherein sit Food Director Hoover and his food generals. To me that building appears as the very center of the world. I can think of it in no other way. resolute and chatter, the steadily with messages fraught with grit today, the fate of this nation and her soldiers on the fields of France, depend being consummated day after day in building wherein sit Food Director Horne that building appears as the very case of it in no other way. I am a case-hardened newspaper man, partielpated in state, national and int’ import, but the most serious session I in the food administration building is serious talk I ever listened to was that at that time. I have seen activity in many forms speed, great newspaper offices at pre-configurations, congress and parliament been so impressed as with the indie feverish methodical action I saw—no, building, where is being mapped and put battle of the world, a battle in good soldiers and patriots should, the victory will be ours. Here is the deo slogan of the food administration, you power. We were gathered in one of the side of myself the gathering was who tributors who had come for this cone. They represented the largest fish cent this country. Mr. Hoover quietly entered the room his presence until he had taken a seat the food administration. There he said speakers had finished the thread of a tain point, and then Mr. Fowler, will now hear a few words from Mr. "A few words!" I wish you would have heard them. He wasted me to cases at once. He outlined condition. With cold figures he impressed upon had been doing in the matter of sense allies, besides doing the fighting for the own food resources to such a serious and its successful outcome actually of food supply from the United States. This with just a perceptible lift of his eyebrow every man in the room, that the people to fall down on the job. But before we go any further let resourceful man, who has become a world figure, and this is said with all I have in mind, who have done, are do Imagine before you a man of medicine and thick of chest. Place on this body and deep-set eyes well apart; eyes that are instantly helping a big brain behind first glance; eyes, the heavy lines and the stress and strain the man is work give an impression of concentrated in the greatest pair of "I can, I will. I dress this man in an immaculate suit tie to match; part a handsome head middle; fit the whole being with a loe even in tone and seldom raised above rather than raises when he makes his tures just a now and then raising of his auditors; hands resting easily at the table in front of him—that's Hoover. While we were all forming a one before us, he wasn't losing a minute measure our allies were able to cater wasn't anything reassuring, I can tell figures to prove or back up or intensify immense quantities of grains and meat I am a case-hardened newspaper man of 27 years experience. I have participated in state, national and international conferences of grave import, but the most serious session I ever sat in was that last week in the food administration building in Washington and the most serious talk I ever listened to was that delivered to us by Mr. Hoover at that time. I have seen activity in many forms—departments working at high speed, great newspaper offices at press time, firemen battling great conflagrations, congress and parliament in session, but never have I been so impressed as with the indescribable, noiseless, censeless, feverish methodical action I saw—no, I didn't see it; I felt it—in this building, where is being mapped and planned and plotted the bloodless food battle of the world, a battle in which if we will only follow as good soldiers and patriots should, the orders of "General" Hoover, victory will be ours. Here is the doctrine of "Speed up"—that's the slogan of the food administration, you know—exemplified in the nth power. We were gathered in one of the hearing rooms, 68 of us. Outside of myself the gathering was wholly comprised of fish producers and distributors who had come for this conference at the behest of Mr. Hoover. They represented the largest fish centers and the largest fish concerns in this country. Mr. Hoover quietly entered the room; quietly I say, for no one noticed his presence until he had taken a seat near Kenneth Fowler, fish expert of the food administration. There he sat, an interested spectator, until two speakers had finished the thread of a discussion necessary to clear up a certain point, and then Mr. Fowler, with no fuss and feathers, remarked, "we will now hear a few words from Mr. Hoover." "A few words!" I wish every man, woman and child in the country could have heard them. He wasted no time on preliminaries. He got down to cases at once. He outlined conditions and then elaborated on every point. With cold figures he impressed upon the gathering what the United States had been doing in the matter of sending supplies to the allies and that the allies, besides doing the fighting for themselves and us, had drawn upon their own food resources to such a serious extent that the continuation of the war and its successful outcome actually depended on their receiving their main food supply from the United States. Then he very quietly, but very gravely said, with just a perceptible lift of his eyebrows and a sweeping glance that took in every man in the room, that the people of the United States were not going to fall down on the job. But before we go any further let us take a glance at this wonderfully resourceful man, who has become a world figure; perhaps at this time THE world figure, and this is said with all respect to a plentitude of great men I have in mind, who have done, are doing and will continue to do to the end. Imagine before you a man of medium stature, well set up, broad of shoulder and thick of chest. Place on this body, a well-rounded head, face full cheeked and deep-set eyes well apart; eyes that you can feel, eyes that you realize are instantly helping a big brain behind to make a mental inventory of you at first glance; eyes, the heavy lines around which are the only indication of the stress and strain the man is working under; eyes that once looked into, give an impression of concentrated power, force and absolute confidence; the greatest pair of "I can, I will, I must" eyes I ever gazed into. Now dress this man in an immaculate suit of blue serge, double breasted coat and tie to match; part a handsome head of smooth laid hair absolutely in the middle; fit the whole being with a low intensive voice, a voice wonderfully even in tone and seldom raised above the conversational tone, which lowers rather than raises when he makes his telling points; add for the only gestures just a now and then raising of the eyes and a straight, boring look at his auditors; hands resting easily at his side, in pockets or finger tipped on the table in front of him—that's the Hoover as I saw him. While we were all forming a once-over mental impression of the man before us, he wasn't losing a minute. In detail he explained in just what measure our allies were able to cater to their own needs and that measure wasn't anything reassuring, I can tell you. He then, always giving the exact figures to prove or back up or intensify his statements, told us exactly of the immense quantities of grains and meets the United States had poured into the Miss Evie Greene, the musical comedy favorite who has just died, used to tell a story about a ghost which she firmly believed she had seen, says London Tit-Bits. The London correspondent of the Sheffield Daily Telegraph says the vision was at Sunderland, when she was playing principal boy in a pantomime. Miss Greene was lodging in a fisherman's cottage, and one night, when she and some girls from the pantomime were going to her rooms for supper, there overtook them on the stairs the transparent figure of a little sailor lad, his arms raised, his eyes closed, and his body dripping with water. The figure hurried up to the attic of the cottage, and Miss Greene and her companions ran trembling into the nearest room. Afterwards they went all over the house, but could discover no trace of the visitor. Next thing Miss Greene found her landlady grief-stricken. She had just received a telegraph from the owners of a ship in which her boy had sailed, saying that the vessel had been lost with all hands. Notwithstanding present high prices of platinum, production in the Urals during 1016 showed a further decrease. The total output amounted to 86,508 ounces, as compared with 118,709 ounces in 1015; the production in 1913 and 1914 was 158,084 and 156,755 ounces, respectively, while in 1909 the output amounted to 214,042 ounces. volume of official recipes is about a dozen years old. It has been collected from many sources by many wise men adorned with uniforms and backed by general orders; but its choicest and best originated in the instinctive inimitable methods of Aunt Diana, who concocted her champion waffles by "des tastin". Credit to Old Sergeant. In fact, a large majority of the good and fine points in Uncle Sam's daily menu for his Sammles is due to an old commissary sergeant of Fort Riley. His name was Dunne, and he was one of those "born to the griddle," who has the same advantage over the ordinary aspirant to kitchen honors that Kubelk had from birth over the little girl next door. He was not a man of education in the ordinary acceptance of the word, but he was a first-class army cook. On scraps of wrapping paper or old bills he kept a copy of every recipe he had ever tried. These were edited by Colonel Holbrook, then in command at Fort Riley, and published in a little book called "Methods of Handling Army Rations," which has developed into the "Manual for Army Cooks," the textbook in the army schools for cooks and bakers started in 1900 by Com. Gen. Sharpe, now quartermaster general. And a perusal of its contents, after sampling the results of its counsel, leaves one little sympathy with the words fitted years ago to the bugler's regular mess call: Souple, souple, souple, Without a single bean! Coffee, coffee, coffee, Without a drop of cream! Piggle, piggle, piggle, Without a streak 'o' lean! Same Food in Field. It is rather heartening to think that the men can have the same food in the field as they do in barracks. This is accomplished by the bakeries, which are portable, easily taken down and set up, and by the very remarkable "rolling kitchens," which cook a meal as the army marches, having lunch or supper ready when the order comes to pitch camp. There are several models of this rolling kitchen, some more intricate than others and some very much more substantial than others. The government has ordered a large number of a model which weighs 3,000 pounds. All of these kitchens have stoves for burning oil and also arrangements for the use of coal or wood. There is also an oven where a roast may be brought to a turn, and, as a surprise to you, a big, smooth plate where flapjacks come to life. One kitchen will feed 200 men, a warstrength company, and it will need three men to operate it at its maximum capacity. Trailing each kitchen is a fireless cooker with four large compartments. There are now four regular schools for army cooks—at Fort Sam Houston, Tex.; Fort Riley, Kan.; Monterey, Cal.; and Washington Barracks. The new cantonments will increase these schools manyfold. It takes about four months of rigorous instruction to make a first-class army cook, but under the intensive method the cantonment cooks will be educated in half this time. Oddly enough, the fact that a man has had previous experience is more apt to be a hindrance than a help, and there is a great deal in his natural endowment. As the sergeant in charge of the cooking school at Washington Barracks said, "You can do more with some men in five minutes' talk than you can with another in a month's hard work." The work begins with a talk on spices, which, to most of us, seems the final touch rather than the rudiments of cooking. But in the army they really begin with the first principles. The desire for food, known as appetite, and certainly spices do much toward making simple dishes tempting and palatable. Take, for instance, the army Irish stew. It is far removed from the dull wash-day dish which answers to that name in most households. The vegetables are tender and flavorous; the meat (round steak) is very delicious, because it is properly cooked; and the gravy; it's thick, but not thickening, and so very good with the meat juices and vegetable flavorings skillfully accented with spices that there is a justifiable temptation to wipe the last bit of it from the plate with a piece of the excellent army bread. Bread Without Milk. To the average cook and housewife this bread is remarkable, for it is made without milk and without lard. When you see it going into action in the floured hands of a squad of bakers your comment is that the shortening is "elbow grease," for it is worked until the dough is perfectly smooth. They "cut it over" five times, which takes about 45 minutes of hard working, so hard no mixing machine is strong enough to do the work. The most difficult thing to teach the student bakers, or "slick ears," as they are called, is the shaping of a loaf. This must be uniform as there must always be 12 pounds, divided into six equal leaves, in a pan. The recipe for a batch of bread calls for 200 pounds flour, 4 pounds sugar, 4 pounds salt, $1\frac{1}{2}$ pounds yeast, and $13\frac{1}{4}$ gallons of water. The bakery at Washington Barracks turns out 3,500 pounds a day, and every man gets his pound. There are many very delicious and exceedingly efficient recipes in the manual for army cooks, and Uncle Sam gives his boys all three of their excellent meals for an average of 40 cents a day. If the economy of the army kitchen could be brought into all American homes we would hear little of food conservation, for the utilization of every edible molecule is nothing short of marvelous, as is the system of accounting for every ingredient that comes out of the storeroom THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1917 ASHINGTON.—Things have changed rapidly. The capitol and White House are dimmed by a plain vine-covered, six-story brick building (evidently used to be an apartment house or family hotel) on the corner of I and Sixteenth streets—that would pass unnoticed were it not for a plain black and white sign over one of the entrances which says in modest letters, "FOOD ADMINISTRATION," and the sight-seeing busses as they roll by shack up for an instant while the bally hoo through his megaphone impressively announces, "this is where Mr. Hoover is." "That tells the story. To my mind congress may resolute and chatter, the White House wires may whir Evie Greene's Ghost Story. Platinum Decrease. Herbert Hoover waiting mouths of our allies and impressed on us that this procession of food across the seas must continue in increasing volume. He explained at length just the food supply condition of the United States at the present time, and at what expense to ourselves we had been supplying the allies. Then again reminding us that the output to the friends "across" must continue in increasing quantities, in a quiet, but most impressive, manner, reminded us that now "our own people" were over there, and that soon there would be more of them. "And you know, gentlemen," he remarked, "what you must do for them, what you will do for them. They are fighting our battle on the forefront. Our duty is to keep them well fed. We will do it." He then went on to show exactly the foodstuff condition; that the world supply of wheat was short; at the same time giving the encouraging statement that our corn crop probably would exceed last year. He cited the flesh food status, giving in detail just how we stood on our beef, pork and poultry, and what portion of the whole we must send abroad to feed our troops and our allies. He showed, in short, that in order to live up to our food duty abroad, we must eat less wheat and meat at home. And right here he got down to the fish question. Leaning the tips of his fingers on the table and gazing at every man in that room at once—it seemed so, anyhow—he said quietly: You gentlemen here are going to help your country as a patriotic duty. You must realize from what I have told you today just how your own country and her allies stand in the matter of actual food supply, and what we must do to keep up a food supply for them and ourselves. You are going to increase the fish production of this country by 50 per cent. I am not going to try and tell you how you are going to do it. I have faith in you as patriotic men and business men, who know your own business to the minutest point, that you will make the great effort, and that you will succeed. Remember that this is no personal call to you; it is the call of your whole country. Now, these are not exactly Mr. Hoover's own words, but that is the way a newspaper man remembers them, and those are the impressions this wonderful talk left in my mind. He was not demonstrative at any point. He was cooler than a college professor explaining a geometry proposition to a class of beginners. He was calmly enthusiastic, if you can sense the scope of that expression. One or two points more remain in my memory; not his exact words, but what he was driving at. He didn't try to tell us that we were going to starve, but he did try to tell us how to prevent ourselves and our allies from sighting that danger point. He did claim that if the advice, the appeals of the food administration were followed, our armies would be able to fight better, ourselves and allies in Europe, the men, women and children all—would not see the shadow of the gaunt specter of want in their door yards, and that final victory would be ours; in short, that "food will win the war." He did counsel us to eat less wheat and wheat products, less beef and beef products that they might be sent to supply the abnormal demand abroad, now made even larger by the constant increasing of our own armies across; and to eat in their place more fish, poultry, fruit, vegetables and all cereals except wheat. Oh, the words and thoughts he crowded into that hour! The former none there can remember, but the thoughts they conveyed will never be forgotten by the men who heard him. He stopped as suddenly as he began, smiled winningly; bowed and walked toward the rear of the room and the door, and then as though imbued with the same feeling of respect and confidence for the man who is carrying such a world-wide burden every man in the room rose to his feet, and as this food Atlas came down through them, gave him a round of applause which must have made him feel, "well, those fellows will help me. I know." Like the Germans. Apropos of the murderous German air raids on open towns, Mayor Edwin W. Fiske of the Mount Vernon exemption board said: "Why, the Germans have no more regard for women's and children's lives than the old California justice had for the Chinaman. And then that body of fishermen got right down to business, talked and planned like all-possessed how to do the bidding of the man who had just left the room, and after two days of intensive labor went their ways to their various homes, each determined that the fish supply of the country should be increased or he'd know the reason why. "This Chinaman had been killed by a drunken rancher, and the proof against the murderer seemed irrefutable. The justice, however, wound up the case in short order. It was one of those meetings that tells why the Hoover way is winning all over the country, why the Hoover iden is gradually forcing itself on the public mind as something that MUST be lived up to, why the United States is going to keep on feeding herself and her allies, why "food will win the war." Every man in that assemblage went home "Hooverized" and carried within his busy brain the slogan so aptly suggested by Mr. Fowler, "Catch 'em for Uncle Sam." "There hain't no use of this here case goin' to the jury," he said, looking up darkly over his spectacles from a law book. "I've studied all through my Law Cyclopedy, and there ain't no law nowhere agin' a man's killin' a Chink. Turn the prisoner loose, sheriff. But, say, young feller, don't you go doin' it agin'. Some justices is more ignorant than me."—Buffalo Express. I would like to quote a few real Hoover paragraphs shot across the table at us and which to my mind are vital. "In America there always has been a surplus of foodstuffs, and we have contributed materially to the support of other countries. We have never had to make a particular effort to conserve our food supply or to avoid hunger and starvation by thrift. We now find ourselves the one great source of the surplus food that must reach Europe, if we are to win the war. That surplus will be scanty, particularly this year, because of the comparative use of our supplies and by the most restricted use of food by our European allies. But He Knew One Kind. A school teacher had asked a class of grade pupils for compositions on the violet. On looking over the written compositions she found the following: "The problem of feeding ourselves and feeding our own army abroad and of feeding our allies is the most pressing one that is immediately before each and every individual. "The violet has sepals, petals, and a gun." "I feel confident that the splendid volunteer spirit of service of the American people will demonstrate itself in solving our food problem and that all American producers, manufacturers, merchants and consumers will work together toward a common end. Perplexed, she called the author to her desk and asked what he meant by saying that the violet had a gun. He explained: "The available supplies this harvest year are less than last year; the demand upon us is greater than last year, and from the last harvest we exported more than we really could afford. We can only meet the call upon us next year by saving and by substitution of commodities which cannot be transferred." "Why, you told us that the violet had sepals, petals and a pistil, and I couldn't spell pistil." ```markdown ``` By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D.

Some twelve or fourteen years after the revival of the worship of Jehovah under the administration of Ezra, Nehemiah led a company to Jerusalem to restore the city walls and civil authority. The walls and gates of the city had lain in ruins ever since they were broken down by Nebuchadnezzar. In this condition the remnant of the Jews who had gone back to Jerusalem were exposed to the dangers of assaults from the surrounding enemies. Not only was this exposure detrimental to the peace and comfort of the people, but it was a matter of severe reproach to them (v. 3). Nehemiah was a man of strong character. Though occupying a position of high honor and responsibility in the very center of the great heathen capitol, the desire to honor God was uppermost in his heart. He is an example to all young men, demonstrating to them that it is possible to be true to God regardless of the environment in which he may be compelled to live. In order for a man to thus stand, his life must be rooted in Christ, and these roots—our faith—must be watered and kept alive through vital communion with God in prayer and study of His Holy Word. 1. Nehemiah Learns of the Affliction and Reproach of the Returned Remnant in Jerusalem (vv. 1-4). 1. The time (v. 1). It was in a winter month, November or December, in the 20th year of Artaxerxes. He was engaged in the performance of his accustomed duties as cup-bearer to the king, when the news came to him of the deplorable condition of Jerusalem and the remnant who had gone there. 2. The occasion of (vv. 2, 3). The visit of Nehemiah's brother and certain men of Judah made it possible for him to inquire concerning the state of the remnant and the conditions of Jerusalem. They informed him that they were in great affliction and reproach. 3. The effect upon Nehemiah (v. 4). He was greatly moved by the story of the distress of his brethren. Though occupying a position of honor, and enjoying all that heart could desire, he keenly took the misfortune of his brethren to heart. He not only shed tears of sympathy, but took these burdens in prayer to God. This is the proper way to sympathize with the unfortunate. It is manly to weep with those in distress, and to pray for those who have need. Jesus wept over Jerusalem and prayed for his own. Nehemiah exhibited the spirit of true patriotism. The affliction and shame of his own people went close to his own heart. National and racial solidarity constitutes the real basis of patriotism. The reproach and affliction of a nation is the reproach and affliction of every member thereof. 11. Nehemiiah's Prayer for Israel (v. 5-11). We are taught that in the midst of affliction, we should pray. Nehemiiah in this early time practiced this New Testament direction. A study of his prayer is most helpful. 1. It was earnest (v. 4). He fasted and prayed for several days. When men are willing to desist from food and turn aside from their occupations to pray to God, they are unmistakably in earnest. This is true fasting. 2. The ground of (v. 5). He plead covenant relationship and the faithfulness of God in keeping his covenant. It is a good thing always in our praying to plead thus with God. He is delighted when we come as children pleading for the things we need on the basis of our relationship to him. 3. Unselfish (v. 6). He has as his supreme object the welfare of Israel. His personal interests were not affected, either for better or for worse, by the condition of the Jews in Jerusalem. Many prayers do not count with God because they are self-centered. 4. Penitent (vv. 6, 7). He acknowledges that the state of Israel was due to obedience to God's commandments and their corrupt dealings with God. So completely had he identified himself with his people that he included himself with Israel as having sinned. 5. The prayer of faith (vv. 8, 9). He believed the word which God had spoken to Moses touching his willingness to restore and bless his people, though he was obliged to severely judge them. In our praying, we should be able to point to some definite promise in God's word, as we plead with him. Faith takes God at his word, and holds him to it. 6. Definite (vv. 10, 11). a. He pointed to the specific people as those redeemed by God's powerful hand. b. He asked that God would prosper his way and grant him mercy in the sight of the king. This was a part of wisdom on Nehemiah's part. Before going before men for consideration of important interests, we should ask God to prepare their hearts, so that they will listen sympathetically to our plea. This we should do in all things, and we can do it, when our own hearts are right, and we see the good of others and not that of ourselves Roy Foster's Daring Success AFTER OFFICE HOURS Next—Busby's Minstrels 9 Kansas City's Popular Undertaker Who is the Brilliant Conductor of the Famous Oddfellows Choir.

C.—"What can I do to assist in this great struggle into which our country has been forced?" is the question being asked by Negroes all over this country, for while there are thousands of them who have passed the age limit for army service, yet their loyalty, their love for country, and their patriotism force them to strive to do something. Through the weekly papers of the race throughout the country the United States Food Administration is attempting to answer this question, and show each individual what can be done in this direction—how to help to win the war, for win we must. Our soldiers who are to do the fighting must be fed and clothed, and the feeding of the American soldiers is up to the United States. Not only must we feed our own, but we must feed the soldiers of the Allies, and we are now trying to make the supply equal to the demand. The food shortage in Europe forces the peoples of Europe to look to us for foodstuffs, and we must supply it. To accomplish this, we must have the co-operation of every American citizen in the matter of conservation of food. It is hoped that every family, every man, woman and child of our race will enter into this work, and study well the information which is being sent to them by the Food Administration, free of charge.
