All Kansas City Prays for His Speedy Recovery. When the news flashed over the two Kansas Cities that Dr. J. Edward Perry, Kansas City's most brilliant [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. M. DR. J. EDWARD PERRY Kansas City's Most Famous Physician and Surgeon Who Is Loved by All Who Know Him. Kansas City's Most Famous Physician and Surgeon Who Is Loved by All Who Know Him. and successful physician and surgeon, had been undergoing a dangerous operation at the Wheatley-Provident Hospital (which was established through his perseverance and personal sacrifice some years ago and which is preparing to enter into its larger and better equipped quarters within a few days) it produced a distinct shock which has not been equalled since the death of the late brilliant Dr. E. J. McCampbell. Very few people knew Dr. Perry was ill because his tremendous practice, which is equaled by few white physicians and surpassed by none, kept him busy day and night, and with his dignified bearing and his gracious courtesy with his never failing smile which has endeared him to high and low, one could hardly realize that he was a subject for the surgeon's knife. But thanks to the splendid ability of Dr. Miller (white) and Drs. Brown, Walker and Jones, of our own race, he passed through the very dangerous operation successfully and unless unforseen complications arise, will soon be able to be removed to his beautiful residence on Montgall ave. nue. Dr. Perry's illness was due to the opening of the parotid gland, due to occlusion of stone in duct, and at the time of the very hasty operation he was bordering on the dreaded spinal meningitis. The best physicians of the city are in attendance upon him, Dr. G. W. Brown being with him night and day. The internes of the Old City Hospital are taking turns about being with him constantly, while Mrs. Jessie Wooten Rowan and Miss Laura Brown, two of the Race's best qualified nurses, are constantly with him. His brilliant and accomplished wife, Mrs. Frederika Sprague Perry, is with him every moment the physicians will permit her to be present. As a slight mark of esteem in which Dr. Perry is held by the people of this community, when Mr. Nelson C. Crews, at the Nurse's graduating exercises last Monday evening, requested all to stand in a moment of silent prayer for Dr. Perry's recovery, every man and woman, white and colored, from the members of the Hospital and Health Board down to the humblest person in attendance The Kansas City Sun stood with a reverently bowed head for a full moment. The prayers of all Kansas City goes up for Dr. Perry's recovery because into thousands of homes, in his quiet, unostentatious manner, oftimes without money or price, he has carried relief and succor and sunshine and restored many to health and usefulness who without him might have died. The Hospital during the past few days has been a veritable bower of flowers, coming from all sections of the city and from people in all walks The Sun fervently prays for Dr. Perry's quick recovery. A. STARKS APPRECIATES NAPOLEON PAUL DUDLEY. "His Vital Extraction Reviewed." Here is a little booklet of twenty four pages which will astonish any one who has an eye for things unique. To begin with, 11 out of the twenty four pages are introductory, only five compose the e"Body" while the other remaining eight are devoted to what the Author brightly calls the "Afterthought." The Author sets out to straighten up our several Race Names and bring us under the fold of his grand "Ethioriianism." But his prefatory addresses go so nice and fine and his "Afterthought" appears so inviting that he seems to overlook the Main subject altogether. In most books this would seem unusual, but didn't forget this is no common book. Another peculiar distinction of the "Vital Extraction" is its positive Dudleyism. You never doubt who the "Book" is by. By Dudley, first, last and always. His name appears 17 times although there are only about five articles. This is certainly generous. Still, looking at it from a mathematical standpoint or sense of nicety, he could have added his name seven more times and made out the full quota for each pagge then. But we don't urge this criticism strongly because what he jacked in numerical strength, he certainly makes up in variety. For instance: "Dudley" "Dudley the modern Doctor Race Builder" "Dudley your Advocate" "Dudley the Ethiordan" "By Dudley" "Dudley the Ethnologist" and various "gests." The author, being a painstaking one, possibly fears that in spite of the preeminence of the authorship at each head and through the middle he proceeds to append the significant "N. P. D." all along the bottom margin. Surely this is Great. But you say we have nothing of the Main subject of the Book. There you are. If the author says nothing about it do you think we are less modest than he? However, the language is all that it could be in as much as fie has exhausted the dull repertory of highly wrought adjectives.

Ye scholars' Catch it if you can: "Further down the treatise our "Discoveror of Thiophology" says: "The submissive influence of 'Negro-ology' is not in harmony with our secondary state of Nature neither Orthology or Grammar." Not understanding this clearly we heartily agree with it. WOMEN THINLY CLAD AND HANG ING OUT OF WINDOWS MUST STOP. The attention of the Chicago Defender has been repeatedly called to the sloveniness of many of our newcomers and some of our old ones (as far as this is concerned), and we have called the attention of our readers to the same facts. Since we have carefully looked into the situation and find that it has become so alarming that it hurts the Race, the Chicago Defender has declared war on boudoir caps, aprons and overalls in the street. The pastors of the various churches must call the attention of our congregations to this evil. We are not in the Southland and there is no mark of servitude that must be placed on a man or woman of color in these climes. It is not necessary that when you go downtown to wear either a white or gingham apron in order that the whites might know you work Neither is it right (and it must stop) that women of our Race get on street cars, go to grocery stores and shop in thouraffares in caps that were meant to wear around the house in the morning. It is not onl ydisgusting to see this, but it is very vulgar and shows lack of breeding. We are also sorry to say that since the warm weather has struck this city that some of our women insist on going into the street with a thin calico dress of light material on without the least semblance of an underskirt. As a result she makes herself the target of grocery and store clerks, who take it upon themselves to make advances. Any woman who has one spark of womanhood in her will never be seen on the street improperly clad. Neither will they disgrace the enlightened by hanging three-fourths of the way out of the window, shouting at friends or acquaintances passing by. Many of this class are men who sit in their undershirts and women who sit on the porch in stocking feet. It is another of the ugly evils which seems to be gradually geeting a hold on some of the Chicago folks, especially in the Second ward. This doesn't mean State nor Dearborn street alone—no, not for a minute, because our reporters have seen this same state of affairs exist on such streets as Forest, Calumet, Rhodes and Vermont avenues. Men going to and from work, especially the Stock Yards, must realize that it is very offensive to sit in the street car beside one who has spent eight car or ten hours around cattle and who hasn't been told or shown that it is just as easy and much better to have changed his overalls before leaving work. It is no disgrace to carry them wrapped up in a neat little bundle. Newcomers must learn that there are thousands and thousands of people in this big city that do hard work and look neat going to and from their work. It is not necessary for plasterers and bricklayers to get in the street cars and brush up and sit down beside neatly dressed women in their working clothes. One young lady came to our office this week and showed us a new dress that had been ruined by a young fellow who had been working around some grease and who had seated himself not beside her, but nearly on her, without excasing himself. This means she must take her dress to the cleaners, while this fellow (a moral criminal) goes along in this world untaught. Another evil which seems to be gradually getting a hold on some people here is the way they speak to the street car employees. As a matter of course they are 'public servants' but the yare not mind readers. The bell you push doesn't ring all the time and they are not always in the wrong. One can just as well sty "transfer, please," and be more polite than by saying "give me a transfer," or, as the writer often hears, "come on, man, give me a transfer"; or even this, "Man, give us a transfer; you'se spouse to give ev'ry one one." Now last but not least, let's all pull together for the sake of public decency, and let ministers, club workers, and social workers get busy and break up these evils. They are a detriment to the Race. Stop them. Stop the young women from conversing with young men of questionable character on the street corners, who don't even show them the courtesy of raising their hats as they pass. Stop the young miss who chatters like a parrot during a lecture or a program. By BEAUTIFUL! That's What Everyone Says Who Has An Opportunity to Visit the Newly Fitted and Decorated People's Drug Store at 18th and The Paseo. _____ Fourteen Years in Business in This City With Courteous and Quick Service Have Made Them the Leaders in the Drug Business in the West. The People's Drug Store, of which Dr. M. H. Lambright is the very efficient and successful manager, has again set the pace for Negro business concerns by installing the most beautiful and artistic fixtures, counters, display cases, etc., yet seen in a Negro business house in this city. For nearly fourteen years the People's Drug Store has been a synonym for business integrity and fair and upright dealing in this community and the fact that they have never deviated from their fixed policy of courteous treatment, prompt service and the best quality of goods have given them the enviable reputation they maintain in the city. No more splendid body of men who have the unlimited confidence of the people ever associated together in business enterprise than Doctors J. E. Perry, J. F. Shannon and M. H. Lambright and their standing in the business world as well as personal integrity have made for the great success of this in institution. The purest drugs, the largest stock and the best service is their motto. Ice Cream Sodas and Sundaes and the standard brands of cigars as well as all of the periodicals and newspapers can be found at their place. doing this you not only help the Race, but all humanity.—Chicago Defender. The same conditions complained of by our distinguished contemporary exist here in Kansas City, and we take pleasure in calling the attention of those wanton violators of these attributes of respectability to this article from the Defender and call upon our Negro police officers who are equally interested in the advancement of the Race to sternly warn these thoughtless women and girls, and men as well, of the injury they do the Race in public places and on public carriers.

At the conclusion he was given an ovation. Brief remarks were made at the conclusion of the program President Motley and Mr. Benjamin, members of the Board of Health, and Nelson C. Crews. On Tuesday night a reception was tendered the Nurses at the same place, under the auspices of the Inter-City Dames, and in spite of the inclement weather, was largely attended by a representative audience of the two Kansas Cities. Dr. William J. Thompkins deserves much credit for the overwhelming success of these exercises and without doubt will attain the greatest results from the Old Hospital during the coming two years in its history.

To the recent St. Paul Commencement there came the Right Reverend Beverley D. Tucker, Bishop of Southern Virginia; the Righ Reverend Arthur C. Thomson, Bishop of Suffragan of Southern Virginia; the Righ Reverend Arthur S. Lloyd, president of the Board of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church and Bishop of Liberia; the Rev. Dr. David W. Howard, rector of St. Luke's Church, Norfolk; the Rev. Dr. C. Braxton Bryan, principal of the Bishop Payne Divinity School, Petersburg; the Rev. Edmund P.

Taylor, rector of St. Stephen's Church, Savannah, Ga.; the Rev. M. B. Birchett, rector of St. James' Church, Portsmouth, and many others who were vitally interested in the development of sound ideas of education. Black Men Make Good. Bishop Lloyd, comparing the task of the Liberians with that of the American Negroes, said to the large Commencement audience: "I have seen a s trange thing—the only spot on God's earth where Africans are working out their own destiny without let or hindrance—where pure-blooded Africans are working out the problems of citizenship. I have seen how these Africans make good, with no white man's hand guiding, helping, or supporting them. I have seen the courage, enthusiasm and force of Africans who have built for themselves a republic in the face of untold obstacles. "Statements unworthy of Liberia are generally untrue. The Liberians are not degenerate, neither are they dishonest. Liberia has never defaulted a dollar. "Liberia is not immoral. Liberia's morality is identical with your morality. Liberia's dream of the future is identical with yours." Bishop Lloyd preached the sermon at the unveiling of the tablet placed in the school chapel in memory of "Katharine Van Rensselaer Delafield, 1849-1901."

RICHMOND, INDIANA. On Wednesday, Mr. Arthur Bundy passed away at his home in Cincinnati from a complication of diseases. For a number of years Mr. Bundy was employed as brakeman on the Pennsylvania railroad. More recently, however, the deceased had been employed by the city government of Cincinnati.

Many of his relatives had recently been called to the bedside prior to the sad passing. With Dr. D. P. Roberts officiating, the funeral was conducted on Friday in Cincinnati, where the interment took place. Mr. Bundy leaves a wife and two grown children, who reside in the Queen City.

PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS:— "Public utilities should be made thing reasonably possible should local authorities will, when the The Kansas City Light & P 150 industries engaged in the pr "Public utilities should be maintained at their maximum efficiency and everything reasonably possible should be done with that end in view. I hope state and local authorities will, when the facts are laid before them, respond promptly." The Kansas City Light & Power Company is supplying power to more than 150 industries engaged in the production of war essentials. More than forty of these industries each require more than 100 horsepower daily, while 111 engaged in producing war necessities require less than that amount of power. In all we are furnishing the equivalent of 30,000 horsepower that these industries may meet the government's demand upon them for war necessities. We are supplying power for the production of bread, steel equipment, gun stocks, flour, wire rope, cereals, bags, railway supplies, feed for horses and mules, telephones and telegraph. It was of such public utilities as this one that President Wilson spoke when he said they MUST BE MAINTAINED AT THEIR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY. This power is being furnished at less than cost. We are monthly piling up a deficit. In the last twelve months this deficit has reached $300,000, which, with an added current cost, based on present coal prices, of $400,000, will make our deficit fully $800,000 for 1918. This condition cannot continue indefinitely. We must have immediate relief to keep going. The present costs cannot be met from the present revenues. We have appealed to the Public Service Commission to carry out the expressed desire of President Wilson to protect essential public utilities. The relief we ask is not excessive and will only partly relieve our situation. It is temporary—not permanent.

To Ambitious Colored Youth: This is the season when ambitious young men and women are looking around in quest of a higher school or college in which to continue their education. The operation of our educational fabric is apt to be seriously interrupted on account of world-wide war conditions, which appeal to the patriotic emotions of every right-minded American youth. President Woodrow Wilson powerfully appeals to American youth to continue their educational preparation on the most extensive scale as a means of more efficiently helping to win the war. The Hon. P. B. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, urgently seconds the President's appeal. At this time it is particularly important that colored youth should utilize every available educational opportunity. The requirements of the war are opening up a wide area of skilled pusuits, from which they have been hitherto excluded. There is but one standard of efficiency by which all applicants must be measured who seek to render efficient service on a high level. While our chief energies are now focused upon the winning of the world war for freedom and equality. Yet it is easy to project our vision to the consideration of conditions after the end of this titanic struggle. Millions of men of the best brawn and brain that the human race produces will have been destroyed by the awful ravages of war. In order to repair this incalculable loss to civilization the world will require the fullest development and exertion on the part of every individual wodking on the highest level of his powers, there will be little time or disposition to stop to inquire of the winning participant in the world's work, "Of what complexion is he?" Great will be the condemnation of any individual who fails to prepare himself for such tremendous responsibilities both during and after the war. The need for education and efficient leadership of the colored race was never so imperative as now. Loud is the call for qualified men in the higher arts and crafts, in specialized scientific pursuits, in intellectual stimula One and One Make One KELLEY'S BEST HIGH PATENT FLOUR Kelley's Best Beat all the Best Kelley Milling Co. K.C., U.S.A. tion of the masses, in wise guidance and control, in social uplife and reclamation, in work of moral and ameliorative reform, in spiritual outlook and aspiration. Happy indeed is the lot of those whose privilege it is to prepare to enter the vineyard of humanity, which promises so abundant a harvest. I am there fore writing this letter to urge every youth under whose eyes it may fall to continue his education enthusiastically utilize your increased earning opportunity to defray your scholastic expenses for the coming year; select wisely the college, university, or professional school, where you will prosecute and complete your education. I am not writing this letter in the interest of any particular institution but the basis of my appeal is as broad as the underlying opportunity and need. It is no longer possible to divorce thought and thing, as the world once attempted to do. The thought is married to the thing, and civilization is born. It requires no oracular reading of the signs of the times to forecast future demands. The thinker must work and the worker must think. The coming renaissance of civilization will emphasize anew the wisdom of Goldsmith's philosophy: "A just experience tells in every soil That those who think must govern those that toil." SECOND OFFICIAL CALL OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN. To Be Held in Denver, Colorado, July 8 to 13, 1918—"On to Denver, the City Beautiful" at the Gateway of Rockies. The object of our Association is to secure harmony of action and co-operation among all women in raising to the highest plane home, moral and civil life.

The convention this year will witness the greatest gathering of colored women from all sections ever assembled.

The vicious, libelous and unwarranted attack in the columns of the Topeka Plaindealer on Bishop H. B. Parks should provoke not only the stern resentment of every loyal African Methodist in the 5th Episcopal District, but should cause those of the faith who have lent aid and counsel to this vile assault on our beloved Bishop to hang their heads in shame. The reason the once useful Plaindealer has degenerated into a mere handbill is because its editor has invariably attacked those who are doing good and constructive work for God and the race, and it has brought him to grief more than once. Other reputable men attacked have put him in jail for just such offenses and the Bishop will only be doing his duty by bringing suit for criminal libel against that paper and also asking $10,000.00 damages, which the editor has boastingly said he possessed.

Why? —That if hot water is not available for bathing these days, use cold—that will help some—Yes, honey, yes. —That when the "Big-to-Do" Negro comes to borrow your Sun for "a minute, ask him why was he cut off the mailing list? —That if you want a Negro to be come your mortal enemy, lend him money or sign a note for him, then ask him to pay you back—sweet dreams. —That there are more divorces bein ggranted to Negroes than there are marriage certificates being issued. What are we coming to, brudders and sistahs? —That the Negro who "takes" a paper for a long while and then refuses or formulates some excuse to keep from paying for it is a deabeat, and sooner or later the paper will get a chance to show him up. —That the Hock Bone Social Club recently debated this subject: "Which makes de mos' noise, night fallin' or day breakin,'" and so warm did the discussion wax that it became necessary to call in "de police." Oh, you Hock Bones. —That at last the Government is finding out that the vicious charges being brought against Negro soldiers at the various cantonments is the result of carefully planned German propaganda to prejudice the whites against Negro troops and to prevent their Kaiser's troops from catching the hell they are going to get as soon as our Negro boys get in action. If two wounded Negro soldiers can whip and run twenty-four Huns, what will that 150,000 Negroes do when they got in line of battle?

Give the cripple a chance to be an honest man is the plea made in a report on Kansas City cripples compiled by James Ford, district superintendent of the research department of the board of public welfare. Mr. study shows that the beggars who infest the streets and claim they are too badly crippled to work are entirely self-supporting. The success of the cripple in supporting himself depends a great deal on his attitude of mind. The use of alcohol is a big factor, 80 per cent of the begging cripples being addicted to liquor, whereas 69 per cent of the self-supporting disabled men do not use liquor. A peculiar sort of "cripples' philosophy" along the line, that the world owes them a living, is generally the reason why a crippled man takes up begging as a livelihood. It is often quite remunerative. One young beggar with a leg off below the knee was offered a place by a merchant at $9 a week with a promise of $15 after six months. The cripple told the merchant that he could not consider the offer as he made more than $15 a week in less than two hours "work" each day. Disabled people are especially handicapped. Mr. Ford says, if they have no home or relatives. Only 50 per cent of the unfortunate men included in his survey live with relatives and have any sort of home in the true sense. The balance of them live in cheap lodging houses among questionable surroundings. "It would be much better for the cripples and the public if every cripple could have personal attention in solving his problems rather than to receive doles from passersby on the streets," said Mr. Ford. Something Better Than "Booze" in This Suitcase Something Better Than "Booze" in This Suitcase DETROIT.—The conductor on a street car bound for the railroad depot watched a small man, apparently from a rural district, struggle valiantly aboard with a heavy suitcase. The new passenger paid his fare. The crowd dividual, who trailed him to the ticket window, where he purchased a ticket. The kind-hearted individual scowled and turned to another person, who looked also as if he could scowl. Something passed between the two, for as the little man left the ticket booth both did likewise. For some time the owner of the suitcase wandered about the station with the two men at his heels. "Walt till he sets it down," one said, "and I'll kick it." The Red Cross booth was in the path of the carrier, who made a line for it. "I've been looking for this place ten minutes," he told the women in charge. As he loosened the straps of the suitcase a display of current magazines was disclosed. He piled them on the crowded counter. "I was on the way to my farm and my sister asked me to bring these. She saw something in the newspapers about the Red Cross desiring books for the soldiers."

Scores of persons stood in respectful silence on the platforms. Soon a beaming face appeared on the platform and in a stage whisper to a group on the platform called out: "It's a boy." The group on the platform gave a cheer. Many willing hands reached forward a few minutes later, when the mother and child were lifted gently down from the platform. Trains were halted and hundreds of impatient men and women looked impatiently from car windows and then smiled as the infant took its first journey across rails and ties down to the ambulance. From the depths of the stretcher Mrs. Dowie looked up to the physician and inquired: "Then my son's name shall be Frank," said the mother.

She was neither fair nor fat, but surely forty, and when six approached Fifty-ninth street, the biggest boy gathered the tickets of his mates and, folding each into a spille, tucked them into the band of his cap in imitation of an Indian's feathered headdress. The woman ignored the hilarity and demanded the tickets. The boy was grinningly disobedient and compelled her to lift the slips one at a time, and unfold them. As she got the last ticket smoothed her indignation overcame her discretion, and she gave the boy a box on the ear that spolled his good humor, and as he ducked his head his other ear tempted her gloved hand. For an instant the other boys were gleeful over their leader's discomfiture, but the motherly conductor was roused, and not till the train slowed up for the Fifty-ninth street station and doors demanded her attention did she quit her boxing exercise. "Tell your mothers I've done what they ought to have begun doing years ago," she remarked as the boys filed sheepishly out to the platform. Ford made his observations from 150 cripples, most of them found north of Ninth street. Of these, 70 were self-supporting, 14 party so, 52 were beggars and others were cared for by charity. Eighty were legal residents of Jackson county, 10 of Wyandotte county and 46 had no permanent residence. About 72 per cent of the men disabled were under thirty years old and self-supporting; 75 per cent of those disabled after forty years of age were not self-supporting.

But for Frank Dow mother's arms in a hospital, the problem was so even for this metropolis, where remarkable adventures are commonplace. Mrs. Isabel Dowie was on her way to a hospital. During the journey Mrs. Dowie suddenly became ill. Her husband, attending her, whispered something to the conductor. Passengers were ordered out in quick time and the car was switched hastily to an express track. In a few minutes Dr. Frank Moskowitz arrived in an ambulance, leaped up the steps, jumped dimly across two third rails and stood in respectful silence on the platforms on the platform and in a stage whisper to a "It's a boy."

THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. JUNE 1, 1918 The Housewife and the War (Special Information Service, United States Department of Agriculture.) EAT POTATOES EVERY MEAL. A woman in a white dress is preparing a dish on a table with a bowl, a knife, and a spoon. Stuffing Potatoes. One of the Attractive Ways of Preparing Them. POTATO RECIPES FOR FAMILY USE Millions of Bushels of Good Food Will Be Lost Unless Consumed Quickly. MADE A DUTY AND PLEASURE Some Menus Worked Out by Experts Without Allowing Them to Become Monotonous—Others Are Easily Obtainable. Do you know that there are millions of bushels of potatoes in the United States in excess of the usual supply at this time of year, and that, unless people generally eat more potatoes than they ordinarily do, millions of bushels of good food will be lost at a time when nearly the whole world is suffering for food? Potatoes are bulky and heavy and cannot well be transported over seas. The United States must eat its own potatoes and release other foods for export. Eating potatoes every day is a duty and eating potatoes every meal can be made a pleasure. Following are some recipes, worked out by the cooking experts of the United States department of agriculture, covering every meal for two days. Similar recipes, both economical and palatable, have been worked out covering every meal for a week. Potato Omelet. 1 cupful mashed po-1 teaspoonful salt. tato. 3 eggs % teaspoonful pep. 3 teaspoonfuls % cream or milk Wash eggs and separate the white and yolks. Add the yolks to the potato and beat until there are no lumps. Season with onion juice, if desired, and chopped parsley. Beat the whites until stiff and fold into the potato mixture. Put into a well-oiled frying pan and bake in oven until brown. Then turn and fold on hot platter. Serve at once. For lunch or supper: 1 pints canned corn. 1 small onion chop. 3 cupfuls potato cut ped. In small pieces. ½ teaspoonful pepp. 4 cupfuls skim milk. per. 2 ounces salt pork. 1½ tablespoonfuls of cornstarch. The salt pork should be cut into small pieces and cooked with the chopped onion until the onion is a golden brown. Add the potato and cook for ten minutes. Add the milk and corn and cook slowly in a double boiler. Add the flour mixed to a smooth paste with an equal amount of cold water. Add the pepper and additional salt if necessary. Cook until the mixture is creamy. For dinner: Browned Potatoes With Roast Beef. Parbole potatoes for ten minutes. Remove the skins and place the potatoes on a roasting rack with meat. Bake them for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, basting them occasionally with the juice in the pan. Use the left-over potatoes to make potato cakes. They are very good served for breakfast with crisp slices of bacon. Brown them in the bacon fat. Potato Cakes. Season cold mashed or riced potatoes to taste with salt and pepper, and mix with a little milk. Add egg, if desired. Mold with the hands into small round cakes. Fry on both sides in well-greased skillet, frying pan, or griddle, and serve hot. For supper or lunch: Potato soup can make the largest part of the meal. Potato Soup. Boll three medium-sized potatoes and when soft rub them through a sieve. Slice a small onion and scald this and a little chopped celery or one- quarter teaspoonful celery salt in five cupfuls of skim milk. Remove the onion and add the milk slowly to the potatoes. Mix one and one-half tablespoonful corn starch, one and one-half teaspoonfuls salt, and a little cayenne pepper to a thin paste with two tablespoonfuls cold milk. Stir this mixture into the boiling soup. Continue to boil for one minute; strain and serve. Stuffed Potatoes. Bake potatoes in a hot oven for about 45 minutes, or until soft. Cut a slice from the side of each and scrape out the inside. Mash this and season with salt and pepper. Add enough heated milk to bring to the consistency of ordinary mashed potatoes. When partly cooled add egg. This may be left-over whites or yolks or whole eggs, well beaten. Add not more than one egg to six medium-sized potatoes. Refill the skins, brush with melted fat, and put back in the oven for 5 or 10 minutes. Serve hot. STAY SLENDER Body fat is stored-up energy. Keep your energy in circulation—not in storage. Don't be afraid of potatoes. Eat plenty of them. Use up the energy they give you for your war work and stay slender. Eat Well. Work Hard. Eat Well. Work Hard. Be Patriotic. Write the United States department of agriculture for new potato recipes. ```markdown ``` Baking With Wheat Savers. Wheat saving need not involve hardship. Nor is there danger of hunger for lack of bread. Abundant crops of other cereals are available to mix with wheat flour in making palatable and nutritious breads. If every housewife would use some substitute for wheat flour in whatever bread, biscuits, pastry, and so on she prepares, the necessary saving in wheat would be accomplished. In Farmers' Bulletin 955 of the department of agriculture, complete directions are given for making bread, biscuits, muffins, cookies and various kinds of pastry in which wheat flour substitutes are used. In yeast bread as much as 25 per cent flour or meal from other grains or from dried peas, beans, potatoes, nuts, and so on may well be used, the publication says, and as much as 50 per cent in "quick" or hot breads produces articles excellent in flavor and attractive in appearance. It is not necessary to use these substitutes always in the form of flour or meal. The use of boiled or baked potatoes, cornmeal mush, cooked rice, and so on, all produce breads which compare well with those made from the corresponding flours or meals. This enables the housewife to make good use of left-over food and to prevent waste. Substitutes for Sugar. Satisfactory substitutes for sugar may be used to a much larger extent. These include sorghum, corn and cane sipr, maple sugar and sipr, and honey. The maple sipr and sugar production can and should be increased in those areas in which maple trees are growing in sufficient numbers to warrant the expenditure of the necessary time and labor. Maple sipr and sugar are produced in 19 states, the annual output exceeding 14,000,000 pounds of sugar and 4,000,000 gallons of sipr. These figures can be increased. The production of sorghum sipr in 1917 exceeded that in 1916 by nearly 4,000,000 gallons. Sorghum sipr may be produced in nearly every state in the Union. An increased production of sorghum sipr will enable the public still further to conserve the sugar supply in the most available form for transportation to our soldiers. Excellent succetash can be made with dried lima beans and dried corn. By VINCENT G. PERRY. (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) For a whole week no morning paper had been delivered to Edward Alken, and he had about reached the end of his endurance. "I'll give that boy a good calling down," he told himself as he set the alarm clock so that he would be able to do so. The first ring of the alarm was awakening him. By the time he was dressed the paper boy was due. The morning was blustery, so he stationed himself in a front room, where he would be sure to hear him passing. After a short wait he heard someone coming up his walk. The boy was not going to forget him that morning, apparently, but it was best to give him a talking to about past misdemeanors, he thought. "Here, you," he yelled as he opened the door. "I should give you a cuff on the ear for not bringing that paper last week. Is that the way you treat old customers." "I beg your pardon, you have made a mistake." It was a woman's voice. Edward gasped. "I thought you were my paper carrier." he hastened to apologize. "So I am." She had stepped into a spot where the light shone on her features and he could see that she was smiling at his mistake. She was pretty and the paper bag about her shoulders gave her an air that made her very attractive. "This is my first morning on the route." she explained. "The local newspapers have had trouble getting boys to carry their papers. There are so many positions left vacant by men who have gone to the war that it is easy for them to get other work. Getting up in the morning, especially windy mornings like this one, doesn't seem to appeal to the boys." "I shouldn't think it would appeal to young ladies, either," he said, as he took a closer look at her. "There should be lots of work that you could find." "I am doing my bit this way," she answered with a touch of pride in her voice. "All the girls in our branch of the Red Cross are carrying paper routes until the spring." As she left to finish her route he looked after her with admiration. There was a plucky girl if ever there was one. He had seen her face somewhere before. Where? He remembered it in a flash. She was Cora Braithwaite, one of the most popular society girls in the city. Although her duties as a paper carrier necessitated early rising, Cora did not neglect her other patriotic work. It was not many days before she was formally introduced to Edward Alken and then the story of their first meeting had to come out. "Mr. Alken seems very anxious to be in your company, Cora," one of her friends said one day after the story had been retold. "It often isn't a man fails in love with his paper carrier, my dear." "Don't be ridiculous," Cora laughed, but when she was alone she thought over her friend's words. Edward had almost forced himself upon her and she had not quite made up her mind what to do about it. He was handsome and genial. She was always nice to him, but that didn't satisfy Edward. When all his advances were met with rebuffs he decided that the only way he could talk to her was by being on hand in the morning when she arrived with the paper. The alarm clock worked overtime. Even a word or two from her cheered him for the rest of the day. If she favored him with more than that he would muse so long over it the paper would go unread. But all good things come to an end sooner or later. When warmer weather came, paper boys were not difficult to secure and the girls were relieved of their duty—rather a pleasant relief, too. Edward was walking home one night thinking of Cora. His path led him by a public building that was under guard. It had been a sunny day, but the night had turned quite chilly. He was thankful he had worn a warm coat. As the man on guard passed him he noticed that he had no gloves. He slipped off his own gloves and waited for the soldier to return to his beat. "Here are my gloves, old fellow," he said, as he handed them over. "I've got lots at home. Your hands must be freezing." The man muttered a word of thanks as he passed on. "How kind of you!" Cora had seen his act of kindness and her tone showed her appreciation of it. "Oh," he laughed, as he stepped up beside her, "that is nothing. I know what it is to be on guard myself." "Do you?" She was quite surprised. "Did you attend military college?" "No," he answered. "I served for two years in France with the First Canadians." "Why didn't you tell me that before?" There was something more than surprise in her voice. "Would that have made any difference?" he asked. "I should say it would. I have been mean to you because I had dubbed you as a slacker. I am so proud of you, now." Before he left her he had accepted an invitation to call the next night. "I'd go through twice what I have to have a girl like that proud of me," he said to himself, as he was walking home. NEWS and GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON WASHINGTON.—"Most persons are greedy." The words were spoken by a Washington woman who had been observing with some disgust the way many of her fellow Washingtonians were exploiting the war situation. "Some came here and offered his services to one of the most important of all the war boards. He was told that he would be given a position if he would agree to take 40 per cent of his average salary for the last three years. He did agree and he went to work with a will and he wrote to his wife and children that he would send for them just as soon as he could find the right kind of house. He finally was driven to thinking that it would be best for him to take an apartment that was furnished. But he couldn't find one. At this point he decided to go home. The government lost an able worker through not taking care of him properly. Now it realizes and it has provided an agency to see that the war workers are properly housed.

Later Murphy, the dog and the taxi came back, with Murphy bewailing—alas and alack—that the address he'd sought he never had found and the confounded mutt he would send to the pound. Murphy was busted; he hadn't a cent, so the chauffeur to Officer Calkins he sent. Calkins, amazed, heard the taximan blare that he was expected to pay Murphy's fare.

Girl War Workers Are Not Afraid of the Dark THAT prewar girl who was "fraid to go home in the dark" is very much among the missing. Girls, especially war workers in Washington, think nothing about going about alone late at night. There's so much to do that girls cannot be bothered with escorts. They they all were pegged out with marching. They are preparing for the big drive that is to take place soon for the purpose of obtaining funds for the Red Cross. Their services have been devoted gratis to the cause and should the hours they have put in be counted in the final reckoning up of the fund it would be found to be quite an item. They have a complete organization. A girl was chosen by the chief clerk in each government department to be a member of the clerical committee. Under each of these girls is a corps of six assistants. Those in turn have reserves. As the headquarters would not hold all the workers some of them work at night at the library of congress under the direction of Mrs. Woods. Others are at the interstate commerce commission at night, and still others are burning the midnight oil for Uncle Sam in the post office.

War has trebled the telephone service in Washington for purely legitimate business, and no longer is there time to be wasted by answering unnecessary questions, say officials of the company, who declared that more than an hour's time each day is saved by the company's decision to prohibit operators from answering unnecessary questions. Another war move that saves time in Washington is the decision to close all departments to the public. Admission to the White House, except to the executive offices, is now refused to everybody. The time-saving process has even been extended to the street-car systems, which now have installed the skip-stop plan, by which the service is expedited.

Today a wood- en city occupies this ground. In part this city testifies to the ready patriotism of Columbia untversity and in part it is a monument to the effi- ciency of the war de- partment. A modest distaste for publicity fs characteristic of Gaia ee eae Cf a Soy a me Douglas F. Duval, in command of the hospital. Colonel Duval has as members of his staff many physicians from private life who have given up thelr practices to take service with the army. In round numbers the hospital is now able to afford 1,100 beds for patients. If it is enlarged, 4s 1s contemplated, there will be provision for caring for 5,000 men, ‘These men come from all the camps from Long Island to Norfolk, Va., a8 well as from overseas. They suffér from a great variety of illnesses which are discovered during a last examination in amp before they are sent to the other slide. ‘Then they are transferred to the Gun Hill Road hospital either for treatment or for examination for discharge. The hospital {s fully equipped and can give definitive treatment of every sort if necessary, But as it stands at the point of em- barkation, and at the point of debarkation as well, as the war progresses it is supposed that tt will more and more be used as a clearing house. There are 42 wards in the hospital altogether. The number devoted to surgical uses is usually so far nine or ten, including nose and throat eases, The wounded men from the other side are still too few to constitute an important feature of the surgical work, More than half of the surgical cases up to the present are due to nose and throat troubles, many of which have existed for a long time and have been exaggerated by life in camp during the very cold winter. There is a psychopathic ward and a neurologic ward, some- times more than one of each of these, ‘The rest of the wards are for medical cases. The variety of these is as great as ia civil life, There are many “heart cases.” These include men who have of course had some heart affection before entering the army. This has béen augmented un- der the strain of army training. “They have slipped in through a dozen differ- ent channels,” explained the officer of the day who accompanted me upon the rounds of the hospital, “Sometimes, for instance, a boy has got in through the good offices of the village doctor whom he has known all his life. The physician wanted to do the boy a good turn and has been oversanguine about his holding up under the in- creased strain of army life, A boy who really wants to go to war is sometimes able to over- persuade a physician who really doesn't mean to fail In consclentiousness, ‘Then, too, there are many cases which would get along well enough in civil life, and a physician may be honestly con- vinced that the trouble Is unimportant, But some- where along the line the boy breaks down. it may not be until he gets to Camp Merritt and is about to be shipped out In a day or two, Per- haps it will not be until he gets over on the other side, There 1s a great effort on the part of the army to weed them out before they get across, but it hasn't always been accomplished.” When we stepped into a typical ward and looked around us I wished that it might be possl- ble for the army to give a public demonstration . of @ United States military hospital, One usual- ly thinks of such a place as rather dolorous, but United States Army Hospital No. 1 is one of the most cheerful places in New York elty. Perhaps it 1s because the buildings are new wooden ones, so much less ponderous than those of other hos- pitals, that Hospital No. 1 seems to bid one to take cournge and look on the brighter side of fe. Only youth and hope have been sheltered Me Aospital. Its growth was so quiet as to seem magical. Although more than five million persons, all of whom, with the possible exception of a few of the most militant pacifists, cherish a patriotic Anterest in all such institutions, are residing Just to the south of it, it attained completion without the general. public being aware of its existence and was taking care of men who had been across and been wounded in battle while most of the residents of New York continued to regard {t as merely in course of construction, Every afternoon from two o'clock until four the high tide of sympathy sets in from the out- side world toward the hospital. It was at this time that armed with a letter from the war de- partment I approached the entrance. It was nec- essary to fall in with a long procession of women, most of them burdened with bumpy packages which contained oranges, apples, bananas, home- made chocolate cakes, apple pies, cream puffs and other articles of food suitable to the dietary of an inyalid and calculated to relieve the tedium of hospital life. The wooden city which constitutes the hospital 1s set upon a hill, Fresh winds sweep over it and it {s flooded with sunshine, Spotless cleanliness and perfect order prevail from end to end of the plant and the most meticulous housekeeper at the end of a prying visit might very well sigh and admit that men even keep house better than women do, It was due to the initiative of Columbia univer- sity that this large hospital was so coon estab- lished. The university idea was to organize and thoroughly equip a hospital for the use of Amer- tean troops, which hospital, construction and all should be put up In New York and afterward carried across the ocean, The hospital was to be officered by physiclans from the College of Physicians und Surgeons, the medical school of Columbia university. Ground for the hospital was broken May 18, Uttle more than a month after the declaration of war. The first building was finished in June. But when the hospital was offered to the govern- ment in July It was decided that the project of transporting the plant, buildings and all to France was (impractical arid that the hospital would serve a very useful purpose if it remained on Columbin Oval, ‘Thirty-nine buildings were included in the orig- inal plan as presented by the university, The government has since Increased the number to 0, but the type of buildings has remained the same, Each building Is a long, low rectangle, one story high and with the sides made up so largely of glass that all the wards resemble sun parlors. The executive building 1s two stories high, but 4t, like the others, is of the simplest possible con- struction, unpainted without and unplastered with- 4n, ‘The buildings are lined with heavy paper, with the object of making them warmer, Other- wige they are as simple as the wooden sheds whieh served as headquarters for the first ofl cers’ training camps. The epiite group of buildings 1s somewhat in the fori of tM letter H, the executive butlding serving as the cross plece of the H, On the second floor of this Building are the executlve offices of the hospital, as simple as the other parts of the institution. ‘The office of Ad- jutant Dean F, Winn, fitted out mostly with un- painted furniture comitructed by the enlisted men, js ut one side-ond next are the offices of Col.

PRIMARY 'TOPIC—Jesus among his friends. —Mark 14:3-0, JUNIOR AND INTERMEDIATE TOP- 1C—Our best for Christ.—Mark 14:8-9, The printed text (14:19) may prot- {tably be used by the primary, junior and intermediate grades, but the adult classes will more profitably confine thelr study to chapter 13, In order to avoid confusion in this study, let it be clearly borne in mind that two mat- ters are presented—the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman armies and the glorious return of the Lord. The two are sometimes so closely inter- woven as to make the threails difficult to disentangle, but if we see the color- Ing in the graphie pieture of the de- struction of Jerusalem as adumbrating the revelation of the Son of God in glory, we shall have no serious trouble, 1. The Occasion of the Prophecy (vy. 14), As Jesus was passing’ through the temple for the last time on his way to the Mount of Olives, where he gave this discourse, the disciples reminded him of the splendor of the building, to which he replied that not one stone should be left upon another. When seated upon the mount three disciples came privately with a threefold ques tion, according to Matthew 24, request- ing further information. 1, When shall these things be? 2. What shall be the sign of thy coming? 8. And of the end of the age? ‘That which follows is given In an- swer to these questions, Il, The Characteristics of the Age During the Absence of Christ (vv.5-23). 1, Appearance of deceivers (vv. 5, 6). Since Jesus went back to heaven many false Christs from time to time have pressed their claims as being the Christ. As the age draws to a close these claims doubtless will Increase. 2, Wars and strife among the na- tions (vy. 7, 8). The history of the centuries since Christ ts written in blood, and the river increases in volume as the age goes on toward {ts consummation, Jesus warns against making any particular war the sign of his coming. Many good people have seriously blundered In this respect because they did not heed this warning. 8, Earthquakes and famines (v. 8). Though these calamities grow in- creasingly severe as the days lengthen, the intelligent, believing disciple is not surprised or alarmed, for these are the precursors of a new order, the birth pangs of a new age, the estab- Ushment of the Kingdom of Christ upon this earth, Let the child of God in this present darkness look up, for his redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28). 4, Universal evangelism (y. 10), The gospel of the Kingdom, accord- ing to Matthew 24:14, shall be preach- ed in all the world for a witness. This is not the Gospel of the grace of God which we now preach, but the new evangelism which shall be proclaimed by elect Israelites immediately pre- ceding the coming of Christ to estab- lish his Kingdom (see Rev, 7:4-10; Rom. 11:15). Ill. The Lord's Glorious Return (vv. 24-27). “This 1s the superlative event, the ‘one to which all prophecies have point- ed, and all ages are moving with un- falling precision. It will usher in the golden age of which the wise and great of all ages have dreamed, and for which they longed. The coming of the Lord will put an end to earth's sorrows; wars and strife will not end until the kingdoms of this world be- come the Kingdom of our Lord and his Christ (Rey. 11:15). ‘This event will be accompanied by great physical dis- turbances and Jesus will gather his elect from the ends of the earth, IV. Applications of the Prophecy (vy. 28:37). 1. As these events multiply in the earth we know that the coming of the Lord draweth nigh (vv. 28, 29), as the putting forth ofthe leaves of the fig tree prove the approach of summer. 2. The Jewish race shall retain tts integrity till the end (v, 90). ‘The perpetuity of Israel ts the mir acle of the ages. 8. Certainty of fulfillment (v, 31). The unfailng guarantee is the words of Christ. 4. ‘The time of Christ’s coming un- known (y, 82), In view of this it 1s utter folly to set the time. ‘The devil keeps people from the truth of Christ's coming as long as possible, When he can no longer sue- ceed in this, he then tries to get them within these fresh walls and have looked through these long rows of windows, There are 24 beds to a ward, ranged opposite to each other. Beside each bed is a little table on which there are usually disposed entertaining magazines and books, a vase of flowers, perhaps, or some fruit. In one of the.wards a group of patients wrapped in their dressing gowns had gathered around a low table at one end of the room. They sat in the very comfortable rocking chairs which are provided. There was a large bouquet of daffo- dils in a vase on the table, As they sat and rocked, peacefully talking as if all time were be- fore them, they presented a picture of extreme comfort. “These boys are rather petted, aren't they?" I suggested to the officer of the day. “There's noth- ing too good for them.” “Oh, no, they're not petted at all,” said the off- cer of the day firmly, “But it is true that there's nothing too good for them.” At one end of each ward building there is a sun parlor and at the other end there are the bathrooms, the ward master’s room and the kitchen and the serving room. The food is brought from a general kitchen and kept hot on steam tables in the ward kitchen, which is also used for making the special dishes which are prepared for men who are on individual diets. We found two members of the kitchen police force examining a large bread pudding which one of the nurses had just concocted for some of the men in her ward. The members of the kitchen police, who were convalescents and well enough to help out with the work, said that although they had never meant to take up dish washing and food serving as a career they didn't mind it. In fact, they found the work quite pleasant. “and we're here to do whatever is needed,” said one of these khaki-clad youths, “That's what the army means,” ‘The other youth said that he had only one re- gret In the matter. As he looked very noble when he said this, I thought he was about to add that his only regret was that he had but one life to give for his coun- try, dish washing, kitchen detall or whatever it was, But instead of this he added that the only trouble was he was too well to get any of the bread pudding, ‘There were many rheumatism cases tn the wards, Most of these young men will soon get well and be fit for return to duty. The camp con- ditions of this very bad winter are responsible for their contracting the disease in most cases, ‘The hospital has two operating rooms, both ex- cellently arranged, and the larger so well lighted from the top as well as the sides that surgeons re- gard it aS unexcelled in this particular by any operating room in New York. Convalescent patients as well as the soldiers who have been assigned to the work of the hos- pital take their meals in the mess hall, and the call to mess made it quite evident that a large proportion of the patients of this hospital will soon be returned to active duty as well as even ‘a soldier need be, Capt. James W. Decker, mess officer, and Sergt. Lem Cain, menu maker, have achieved wonderful results| in setting savory dishes before the patients without exceeding the 60 cents a day allowed by the government for the purchase of food for each man, Physicians from elvil life, as well as those who have been in the service for many years, consti- ture the staff of the hospital, Many of them are noted surgeons or medical practitioners who have given up large practices to take up the army work, Hvery man on the staff has @ specialty, #0 that while he regularly performs routine ward duties he can be called upon to treat any patient requiring his specialized skill, “All this enormous hospital, even to the Inundry which turns out 12,000 pieces of laundry a week, is managed entirely by the army. It Is a matter of pride with some of the hospital enthusiasts that the only person not in khaki or tn war nurse uniform who helps to make the wheels go around in any of the departments 1s the laundry seam- stress, Three Exquisite Daytime Frocks ar > y m i = a Z » Om i iG. * q aT sh | tid | Ie eae ee; / aN Lo 4 ar lt pee geen ‘are Leet Aitae War-Time Outfit in Summer Shoes uP i 1 ee OG WS % NS oY Jj ISS The smart woman of today improves each shining hour of summer by tak- ing her knitting everywhere she goes, and by wearing frocks much Ike those that help to make the three graces ple- tured above, look so lovable. These frocks are of a sort to make even the Jaded millionairess grow interested, and everyone else, who knows any- thing about clothes, to grow enthus!- astic. They have everything that we aspire to in our apparel—simplicity, style, refinement, originality—all with- in the boundaries set by the season's modes, and they are not out of the reach of women of ordinary means. It Is hard to point out just what gives distinction to a frock as simple in design as that worn by the girt sit- ting at the left. It Hes in the choice of material, in good hues and in the wide band of embroidery about the skirt with Its motif repeated to finlsh the neck, Khakl-kool, or similar fab: ries, would be a good choice for It, or some of the heavy weaves In silk or satin that are supple like those made for the handsomest sports skirts, ‘The embroidery is done In the color of the dress with touches of black or a dark color introduced. Oyster-shell white gray or sand color are good choices for this dress. The one-piece tunic dress at the center appears to be of satin witt over-bodice and apron drape, at the vust how few pairs of shoes can we get along with this summer? That's the question that women are, called upon to settle for themselves, now that wartime economy calls for re- trenchment on all sides. Secretary McAdoo says he has his shoes half- soled when they need It—and appears to be proud of it, recommending this course to every one else. Leaving out house slippers and evening slippers that need not come in the reckoning at all, three pairs of good shoes will see one through. Thts will seem an im- possibly slim allowance to the woman who usually buys from six to twelve pairs, but three pairs will answer. There {s no economy in having only one palr of street shoes, because they wear much longer and look much bet- ter when two pairs are worn alter- nately. Shoe trees keep them tn good shape when they are not In use and are as necessary to shoes as hangers are to coats and frocks. A wartime summer outfit In shoes might follow the suggestion in the group of three pairs shown tn the pic- ture. ‘These do not Include shoes made solely for sportswear, which can be considered beside the question of shoes that are indispensable. All the shoes pictured are In the best mate- rials and workmanship, which are matters of real economy in footwear. They include a pair of substantial black kid street shoes, a pair of smart white canvas oxfords and kid pumps for dress, : ‘The high boots for street wear have sensible Cuban heels and moderately heavy soles. Perforations along all the seams and at ench side of the fac- front, of georgette crepe.

The sailor collar and tunic are finished with embroidered bands, and they define the sides of the bodice also. The much-ndmired eoy- ered buttons In precise rows add their neat charm to this exquisite dress. All these frocks have wide, crushed girdles, adjusted eusily to the figure ‘below the waistline, and are worn with pumps and silk stockings—footwenr that is in keeping with them, Millinery Styles. ‘There are definite characteristics te be noted in the spring and summer millinery and the styles cf the season are almost all charming, There seems, in fact, to be an obvious dismissal of weird and freakish shapes and trim mings, and a firm adherence to those that are truly attractive and beaut> ‘tol. ing at the front, give them a hand ‘some finish and they look altogether dependable and smart—just as women themselves aspire to look in these’ times, White canvas oxfords for wear with summer street suits and frocks are very plain and may be had with either Cuban or French heels, They are easily kept clean and are very durable. Where street shoes will strike the wrong note and something more dressy 1s needed, kid pumps, similar to those shown in the picture, will fill all requirements. They are of black kid with gray panels, but there is a great variety of pumps in all-black and black with colored panels to af from. | _ Different Shades of One Colon | ‘The combination of different shades In the same color is a very smart note in millinery just now; this ts noticed, perhaps, most In the tortoise shell col orings, An attractive small hat of Milan has an upturned side brim and this {s trimmed in a very light shade of apple-green wheat, which ts laid thie ly about the crown sides and topped bay a row of foliage in the color of the straw.

In spite of the very warm weather Sunday was a great day at Ebenezer. At 11 A. M. Rev.

He was a great gospel preacher, believed and loved the gospel he preached, had erected in Seattle, Wash., one of the most beautiful modern church edifices in the District; a preacher and pastor. The good Bishop said, "If Rev. Osborne passed out tonight his record was made and would live in the hearts of the people whom he had served." elevating and giving game to every church and people whom he had serv. He entreated the church to follow him willingly, unhesitatingly and doubtfully and Ebenezer would continue to grow and that the pastor was one who the longer you know, him the better you admire and appreciate his Christian manhood and the most explicit trust and confidence could be placed in him....Class No. 3, brother George Holler, leader is banner this week.

Crews, City. My Dear Mr. Crews: I am enclosing herewith my check for six dollars and twenty-fice cents ($6.25), covering the balance due on my pledge for the Wheatley Provident Hospital. In sending this my final payment, I wish to say that I commend very strongly the manner in which you have handled this campaign for the enlargement of the Wheatley-Provident Hospital, as well as the very splendid way in which our people have responded to your call. Though a recent comer into this our community, and having hardly learned how the people of our race rise to such demand for public benefaction, I take their response to the call for a new and better hospital to be typical of their interests and efforts along all lines where public safety, public welfare and race uplift are the issues. I assure you that the movement for a better institution in which to care for our sick or injured will have the continued support of a loyal and generous Negro people and will commend itself with equal justification to our many friends among the white people. Again commending you for your initiative and good judgment in the prosecution of your program, I remain Very truly yours, HENLEY L. COX. Cheap John's Furniture Co.
