HEAR CHAPLAIN PRIOLEAU SUNDAY MORNING AT ALLEN CHAPEL Colored Nurses Now! Let the Editors of The Journal, The Post and The Star Answer This Question. SHALL PREJUDICE OR JUSTICE PREVAIL? If you want a real live up-to-the-minute Negro Newspaper that gives ALL the News in which colored people are interested, subscribe for the SUN. Bell Phone East 999 and 2789 VOLUME X. NUMBER 48. 50,000 IS THE AMERICAN Let the Editors of The Jour The Star Answer T SHALL PREJUDICE OR J FOREWORD. I seek Prejudice is unchecked savagery. It is ruthless, inhuman beyond comprehension. Its basis is in ignorance. It violates the happy innocence of children. But children are the noble expression of life, men are the sacred air of the memories of Yesterday and the fervid hopes of Tomorrow. They, in their simple ignorance, laugh, unmindful of the sudden weight of the dead air of the apothegms of our ideas of racial superiority. Theirs is the world of God—the great land of dreams. What have they to do with the prejudices of men? Children alike black they are wills, sous, playmates, gods. Barriers of race do not, can not touch the majesty of their simple faiths. Social repression has not, as yet, been overcome with calm stolcilism; but we, who know and feel the pangs, are conscious of a fearful portent—the awakening. We then, administer a rebuke to those who have been severely embittered the intensity of hatred by petty insinuations. In doing this, let us say we earnestly disclaim any invidious feelings. But we appeal to that fine America, which twelve millions of us help to preserve. There are two paramount reasons why the word "Negro" should be capitalized. On page 1760 of the "New International Dictionary," there is a definition stating that a race is a family, tribe, people, or nation believed to belong to the same stock; a kind of individuals with common characteristics, and interests. To such a group, belongs the Negro. On page 117 of Wooley's "Handbook of Composition," acknowledged as authority by the criterions of English, there is this rule: "Capitalize nouns and adjectives of language or race." Therefore, in order for a newspaper, magazine, periodical, text book, or other published article to be correct in its English forms, it must capitalize "Negro." A further reason for the capitalization of the word is to eliminate the humiliation caused by its non-capitalization, which is a badge of inferiority, an inference that the name "Negro" is less racial than descriptive. That it is a badge of contempt, is absolutely proved in the reading of various newspapers and magazines, where contempt for the Kaiser, and Germany as represented by the Kaiser, is shown by non-capitalization. Is it, then, fair for the American press, undoubtedly the most powerful exponent of Democracy, to humiliate and insult twelve millions of the citizens who are helping in this nation's fight for world Democracy? A casual observation of the attempt of certain individuals to disregard the accepted rules of English reveals a propaganda as direful as that of Pan-Germanism. No other racial group, be it Jew or Indian, is confronted by such a challenge. One city editor curtly explained her attitude in a few words lavished with the spirit of nonchalance. She protested that mere lack of capitalization was not meant as a discouragement nor a reflection upon the race; she sought to profess friendship; yet as we watched the tell-tale colorings in her face, sensed the background of passion, fearing lest, we might betray our mistrust of her frightful analogies,—and her wisdom, we stood immovable, suppressing our real feelings. "One does not capitalize 'white man,'" she exclaimed glibly. She eyed us deliberately; "Then why the word 'Negro?'" "White' is the name of a color, but Negro is not. Does it not refer to ethnological classification?" we rejoined. "Well, it is not our policy to do so," she added hotly. One natural consequence of such a mental attitude is an accusation, which we view with unrelieved dismay, that there is an Anti-Negro propaganda, deadly and sinister. It ```markdown ``` The Kansas City Sun seeks to throttle the ideals, the faith of the darker group, seeks by implications and disillusionments to discourage, to oppress the rise of black men to heights of vision. It would rob us of our glorious history, our gifts, our achievements. It would restrict us to the depths. It would reveal us to the world in caricature, half souls, scarcely human, with no possibilities. This attitude is brutal, but lacks, to say the least, the support of a kindlier element which has access to moral vision. The failure to capitalize the word affects the white American and the black American. It shows to the world that there still exists in the hearts of one race of Americans, hatred for and prejudice against another race of Americans. It will make other nations question the spirit of Democracy yof which America is so boastful. In the heart of the Negroes rankles a smouldering resentment engendered by injustices of the past. They wonder why a man who is well-educated, strictly disciplined, and of natural courage, is not worthy of being acknowledged as a member of a race rather than one of a breed. They wonder why an American newspaper said, "An Italian, a negro, and a Jew were among the first drafted men." They wonder why the Italian and a Jew have precedence over the ancestor of a member of a race who fought that this nation might live. The following are a few of the most important organs of repute which capitalize the word "Negro" in every instance: (1) Magazines. Annals of American Academy of Political and Social Science. Atlantic Monthly. Art World and Craftsman. Current Opinion. The Crisis. The Forum. The New Republic. The Living Age. The Modern Review (Calcutta). Missionary Review. The Outlook. The Popular Science Monthly. The Survey. Poetry. Boston Transcript. Christian Science Monitor. Chicago Tribune. New York Evening Post. Springfield Republican. Wichita Beacon. Wisconsin State Journal. (1 Footnote)—Webster's New International Dictionary, page 1446. The present crisis challenges our entire program of social adjustments. Tht Negro's faith in America was never more manifest. In these drear times of unrest and clashing interests, he offers a silent protest. No other race, except the Negro has ever exchanged for race calumny its noblest services. His cause is hard beset, but he hopes and dreams, even as he fights, that the "world might be safe for Democracy." We, then, have the hardihood to protest to the gods that are. We pray the unimpassioned ear of those whose highest ideals are not enemies to their better salves. CLINIC FOR BABIES. Garrison School Baby Clinic will open at 9:00 o'clock Tuesday July 30.

Lloyd Re-elected For the 19th Time as Grand Chancellor of Missouri A LARGE ATTENDANCE AND HARMONIOUS SESSION Sedelia, Mo., July 26, 1918. One of the most harmonious and enthusiastic sessions ever held by the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, State of Missouri, convened in this City Monday July 22nd. The advance Guard began to arrive Sunday and each in-coming train brought additional delegates and visitors until a number of strangers in the City made it look as though it was a National holiday. The Grand Court O. O. C. also held its sessions here and more than four hundred Knights and Ladies of the State graced the City of Sedalia with their presence. The Democratic personnel of the Grand Lodge and Grand Court make an almost perfect setting for a Democracy which is real, pure and without alloy; Physicians, lawyers, poets, authors, scientists, dentists, teachers ministers, editors, and business men harmoniously fraternize with farmers, laborers and laymen. Men and women of National prominence brought to Sedalia the air of Boston and the styles of New York. The Grand Lodge convened promptly at 10:00 o'clock Tuesday morning with Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd presiding. The roll of Grand Lodge officers showed all to be present. The session which was held in the City Hall at once took on an air of routine business. The sessions of the Grand Court were held in the Court House with Grand Worthy Counsellor Mrs. Bertha T. Buckner presiding. he Grand Public opening was held Tuesday night at the City Hall and MISS JEANETTE MACK DEAD. Sincere sorrow prevailed both Kansas Cities last Thursday when the news flashed over the city that Miss Jeanette Mack the brilliant and capable instructor of Physical training for girls at Lincoln High School had passed away after a long illness. Miss Mack had been ill since last October but with a rare courage and determination, she stuck to her task at the Lincoln High School and put on one of the grandest Pageants before 10,000 people at Convention Hall last May that was ever witnessed in this city. At that time, the Editor in a brief address called attention to her illness and sacrificing devotion and urged that a movement be started to send her to a health resort but for some reason our race organizations failed to take action in the matter. Miss Mack was born in St. Louis on the last day of the year 1876, educated in the public schools of that city and at the Sargeant School of Physical Training. Boston, Mass. she came to Kansas City in 1916 and her work in the Schools during the two years she taught here was a distinct revelation and provoked the sincerest admiration of patrons and citizens alike. During her illness, she was tenderry cared for by Miss Warrick of the Wendell Phillips School and Miss Carrie Brydie one of her associate teachers in Lincoln High, who did everything they could for her ease and comfort. She leaves an aged mother in St. Louis where the remains will be taken for burial. Mr. Chas. B. Madison, of St. Louis, a relative, will accompany the body back to that city. The body lay in state on yesterday from 2:00 to 9:00 P. M. at Watkins Bros., where it was viewed by hundreds of her former pupils, associates and friends. Many expressions of sorrow were heard from those who learned to admire her splendid qualities and brilliant achievements during the two short years she had been in our midst. The Sun extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. We have many calls each week for houses and rooms of all descriptions. Why not advertise what you have to rent or sellin thispaper which reaches all the colored people in greater Kansas City?

Ford, several weeks ago, took an examination under the civil service and last week received notice of her rating which was very creditable. Her percentages ranged as high as 100 and gave her a splendid average which assures eligibility for the position sought by her. Miss Ford was recently graduated from the Helena Business College. Mrs. James Crump is the recipient of a very handsome silk and lace handkerchief as a souvenir from friends in France who are with the Sammies. Miss Ida Myller of Indianapolis, Ind., and Miss M. J.

A certain amount of directness and finality in her sermons brings to her audience a desire to hear more and more of the blessed Truth which she brings to Helena. Miss Geys as an exhorter has a power which asserts itself in songs as well as in the prayer service before preaching and also the invitation after the sermon. These two make a gospel team that should bring a rich harvest in the Master's vineyard. MARYVILLE, MO.

Scott, secretary of the organized by the brilliant Mrs. G. ring the time they were stationed at National Negro Business League and special assistant to the Secretary of War, was at his desk at the Tuskegee Institute, for a few days this week. While here, he addressed the Summer school, which closed its ninth annual session yesterday. After a conference with Principal Robert R. Moton, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Business League, Mr. Scott announced that an important feature of the next session of the National Negro Business League which is to be held at Atlantic City, N. J., will be symposium discussion; "Winning the War." Important representatives of various agencies engaged in war work, together with a number of Government workers, will be present and participate in this effort to devise plans and methods to help pour country in the great crisis through which we are now passing. Communities which have been successful in local war relief campaigns will also be represented in this discussion. Persons who have been invited to speak at Atlantic City are responding promptly and the program matter will be given to the printers next week. Every effort is being made to make this a most interesting and constructive session. PROFESSOR LEE SPEAKS Tuskegee, Ala.—The Ninth Annual Session of the Tuskegee Institute Summer School for teachers opened Monday, June 10th, with a registration of 443 teachers, representing 14 states; Alabama, Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Illinois, Virginia and Tennessee. The regular schedule of classes was followed from the opening day. Attendance. This has been the banner year of the Summer School. The registration has reached 571. We have had the largest Negro Summer School in the country, and one of the largest Summer Schools in the entire South. Addresses. The opening address was delivered by the principal, Dr. Robert R. Moton. He welcomed all the visiting teachers to the institute founded by Dr. Washington. Prof. J. R. E. Lee, principal of the Lincoln High School, Kansas City, delivered the address Friday. Mr. Lee founded the Tuskegee Summer School nine years ago, while he was director of the Academic Department. He spoke on "The Value of the Public School." He said the hope of the race was in the common schools. We have enough colleges, but we need better common schools. This means better teachers and better teaching. Mr. Lee advocated many changes in the present day curriculum and in present day methods of teaching. HAIR CULTURE I have the greatest hair-growing system in the world.

Carpenter He is Private Johnson, Who Was Honored in France—Gets $30.00. Brooklyn, N. Y., July 17.—Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, pastor of the Bridge Street A. M. E. church, is a Spanish war veteran. He had also read with enthusiasm the great deeds of Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts, soldiers in France, who successfully engaged 24 German soldiers, though wounded. He had also read that Johnson received the Croix de Guerre for his successful stand against the two dozen Huns. While sitting in his study last Sunday, one of his members brought a man in and introduced him as "Sergt. Henry Johnson." The Spanish war veteran listened to a thrilling tale of the supposed adventures in France of the "sergeant." He told the minister that he had left his Croix de Guerre with General Pershing for safekeeping. The pastor invited the "hero" to address his congregation at night. "Sergeant Johnson" left saying he had to speak at the Y. M. C. A. in the afternoon. There were 1,100 people in the church to hear his "thrilling" narrative. After it was all over they raised a collection of $31 for the "hero." The next day someone remarked to Rev. Mr. Carpenter "Sergeant Johnson" did not look like the one he knew. Becoming suspicious, he called up the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. to ask did "Johnson" speak there Sunday afternoon. Receiving a reply in the negative, he notified police headquarters. JUDGE SELDEN P. SPENCER. Judge Selden P. Spencer, who is a candidate for the nomination for the United States senate, is not entitled to the support of he Colored people; because I is a known fact that this ex-judge is prejudiced towards them. A close observation of his actions in the past will show, that here and there the real man has found occasion to portray itself. But the boldest exhibition of his prejudiced-soul was recently shown when he successfully opposed the organization of a Colored regiment of home guards in this state, giving as his reason "the social side." The home guards are to protect the state in case of uprisings, etc. But Judge Spencer would be willing to sacrifice the welfare of the state upon the altar of race prejudice. Such a man, though he be honored with a seat in the highest council of the nation, would, like others, no doubt, be willing to sacrifice the successful prosecution of the war upon the altar of race prejudice. A man of his type is dangerous; worst to the detriment of the Negro than all of the German propaganda. No loyal American, who knows of this condition, be he black or white, will support Judge Selden P. Spencer for the senate. Let us support men and measures that are fair and just to our race. But, let us set our faces like flint against those that hinder our progress.—St. Louis Argus. ASK DUBOIS' HEAD FOR "SURRENDER" WORK IN "CRISIS." Washington Advancement Association Leaders Assail Editor and Major Spingarn Hip and Thigh for Somersaul on Race Rights. Washington, July 14.—The stromest meeting ever held by the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. here was held last Wednesda yevening. Because of the question of endorsing Dr. Dubois' desire to continue as editor of The Crisis while holding a commission as captain in the army, assigned to duties in the Intelligence Bureau, and the matter of repudiating his editorial in the last issue of the Crisis urging the race to "bury our grievances," an exceptionally large attendance was present. Many of the speeches were radically denunciatory of Editor Dubois' alleged selfishness in desiring to draw salary from two positions and "traitor" and "Benedict Arnold" were some of the endearing terms applied to him by speakers because of his "Close Ranks" editorial in the last issue of The Crisis. The local branch here, THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1918. JACKSON COUNTY HOMES AGE & INFANT PROGRAMS WHITE & DEAN ARCHITECTS This is the one great reason (were there no others) why every decent, intelligent and justice-loving Negro in Jackson County should without any hesitation cast their vote for Judge Miles Bulger for Presiding Judge of the County Court of Jackson County, Missouri. Those public officials who do things and consider the welfare of all classes of people are the ones who should be elected to office; and unqualifiedly, unreservedly and with all the power at its command the Kansas City Sun and its friends are for Miles Bulger for Judge of the County Court. And if white Republicans can without apology vote at the Democratic primary for Democratic candidates, then there is no reason why Black Republicans to the number of 7,000 cannot do the same thing. The Sun is in receipt of a very interesting letter from two of our most popular physicians, Drs. D. M. Miller and M. G. Brookins who with their wives have been touring the West during the past 30 days. They write that all are enjoying good health and have been having a grand time. They have visited Denver, Colorado Springs Pueblo, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Ogden, Cheyenne and Yellow Stone Park and that it has been the treat of their lives. While at Los Angeles they visited Santa Barbara, San Monica, Catilne Islands, the Busch Sunken Gardens, the various Parks, ocean beach and other points of interest in that beautiful city. Their wives have enjoyed every moment of their visit and the Doctors expect to return home by August 1st to resume their splendid practice. They send their regards to their patients and friends. which numbers 7,000 members, went on record as censuring Editor Dubois for attempting to draw salary for two positions, and for his alleged surrendering editorial in last issue of The Crisis. The local branch sustained the board of trustees of the N. A. A. C. P. in their decision reached at a meeting in New York, that Editor Dubois must choose between the editorship of The Crisis and a position with the Intelligence Bureau in the War Department; that he cannot remain editor and serve in some other capacity. In short, it has been made plain to Dr. Dubois that he cannot serve two masters. It was further This is the one great reason (we in Jackson County should without any the County Court of Jackson County of all classes of people are the ones with the power at its command the Kansas And if white Republicans can without there is no reason why Black Repub impressed upon him, it is alleged, that if he continues as editor of The Crisis he must continue the heretofore policy of that publication respecting rights of the race. The entire N. A. A. C. P. organization is greatly stirred over what many members claim was an abandoning of the race by Dr. Dubois. HOT WEATHER RULES FOR HORSE. 1. Load lightly, and drive slowly. 2. Stop in the shade if possible. 3. Water your horse as often as possible. So long as a horse is working, water in small quantities will not hurt him. But let him drink only a few swallows if he is going to stand still. Do not fail to water him at night after he has eaten his hay. 4. When he comes in after work, sponge off the harness marks and sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth, and the dock. Wash his feet but not his legs. 5. If the thermometer is 75 degrees or higher, wipe him all over with a damp sponge, using vinegar water if possible. Do not wash the horse at night. 6. Saturday night, give a bran mash, lukewarm; and add a table-spoonful of saltpetre. 7. Do not use a horse-hat, unless it is a canopy-top hat. The ordinary bell-shaped hat does more harm than good. 8. A sponge on top of the head, or even a cloth, is goo dif kept wet. If dry it is worse than nothing. 9. If the horse is overcome by heat, get him into the shade, remove harness and bridle, wash out his mouth, sponge him all over, shower his legs, and give him two ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia, or two ounces of sweet spirits of nitre, in a pint of water; or give him a pint of coffee warm. Cool his head at once, using cold water, or, if necessary, chopped ice, wrapped in a cloth. 10. If the horse is off his feed, try him with two quarts of oats mixed with bran, and a little water; and add a little salt or sugar. Or give him oatmeal gruel or barley water to brink. 11. Watch your horse. If he stops sweating suddenly, or if he breaches short and quick, or if his ears droop, or if he stands with his legs braced sideways, he is in danger of a heat or sun stroke and needs attention at once. 12. If it is so hot that the horse sweats in the stable at night, tie him outside, with bedding under him. Unless he cools off during the night, he cannot well stand the next day's heat. --- M. DR. D. M. MILLER whose phenomenal success since coming to this City a little more than a year ago has simply astounded the old timers but the secret of Doc's success is that "he knows his stuff." ORDER OF TWELVE IN SESSION. The thirty-first annual grand session of the International Order of Twelve is being held this week in St. Joseph.

G. McCampbell and Mrs. E. C. Bunch. LOUD TALKING. Another Indorsement From a Well Known Citizen. I wish to congratulate one Mr. Joe E. Herriford for the article he inserted in your valuable paper. If ever a man spoke the truth Mr. Herriford is one, and there is no getting around it. It is a fact there are more loud mouthed people of color in Kansas City than I have ever had the displeasure of seeing anywhere else. They don't only talk loud and boisterous in their homes, but on the street as well. One can go to any part of Kansas City with few exceptions where the race is thickly populated and certainly feel ashamed of some of the race's actions. They don't seem to have forethought enough to realize that they are making had matters worse. The boys who play on the streets at the Paseo forever use the word "nigger" and the men on the street are jujst as bad about the use of that despicable word "nigger." Their conversation and speech in general should be recorded by a distograph, perhaps they then would fully realize how badly it really sounds to others. One can go to Chicago, the town in which I live, and you would never see nor hear such carrying on as you do here. Although Kansas City is my home town I can't feel proud of it. I wish also to call your attention to a few facts pertaining to Kling's amusement garden located on 18th at Lydia. Without a doubt it's the fittest place in Kansas City and you know that is saying a whole lot. I think a committee of business men of Color should call on that fellow Kling and try to induce him to improve accommodations at his show or have him boycotted. It's a disgrace to humanity. The performance is very nice but that old delapidated place with old rusty tents on the side; to say nothing of the place called a lobby is a crying disgrace. NATHAN B. MILLER, 5125 Swope Parkway. NEW PRESIDENT LINCOLN INSTITUTE VISITS CITY. NEW PRESIDENT LINCOLN INSTITUTE VISITS CITY. Kansas City was honored this week by an informal visit from Dr. Clement Richardson, the newly elected head of Lincoln Institute. During a stay of two days he was the house guest of Joe E. Herriford, 1217 Woodland Ave. who was generously assisted by Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins, Superintendent of the City Hospital, in entertaining the distinguished guest. Dr. Richardson by his simple, unaffected manner, his frank and cultured disposition, made a host of friends during his brief visit in the city and both colored and white people are already convinced that the Board of Regents has found the right man to make Lincoln Institute just what it ought to be in the educational development of our people in Missouri and the west. The new President is a graduate of Harvard and is one of the type of men whom the late Booker T. Washington gathered about him at Tuskegee whence he comes to Missouri after several years experience at the great southern institution. He has been at Lincoln Institute a month and already has a firm grasp upon the situation and has laid plans for a wide scope of usefulness in his new field. During his stay in Kansas City he merely devoted himself to the preliminaries of what he hopes to be a wide intelligent and justice-loving Negro e Miles Bulger, for Presiding Judge of to do things and consider the welfare qualifiedly, unreservedly and with all Bulger for Judge of the County Court. Primary for Democratic candidates, then do the same thing. circle of helpful and enjoyable acquaintances. Not much time was given for formal entertainment but the ever alert social instincts of the Kansas City men were quickly put into motion and on Tuesday evening a delightful stag luncheon was tendered at the Y. M. C. A attended by over forty of the men about town who do things Dr Thompkins acted as master of ceremonies at this informal affair and short talks were made by Grisham, Crews, Herriford, Coles, Hueston, Knox, Shackelford, Harrison, Bowser, Perry, Lee and others. President Richardson in his brief talk outlined his ambitions in his new position. He offered himself as the strict servant of the whole people without any self adulation or self gloryification. He indicated his desire to carry out the modern ideas of industrial education and at the same time maintain a strong acedemic department for those better fitted for the higher literary and scientific culture. The school will not be one-sided if the new President can prevent it. He has been given a free rein in selecting his faculty and will endeavor to secure the services of the very best available teachers for each department. Much headway has already been made in this direction. The Kansas City people have pledged to Dr. Richardson their unqualified support in creating this new, long looked for order of things and it now looks like the school will start out with a greatly increased attendance in September. The whole people of Missouri will unite in this same sentiment and will extend a hand to the new Lincoln Institute both cordial and firm. Prof. Richardson was at Fulton last Monday, Boonville, Tuesday, Sedalia Wednesday and fdom there to St. Joseph, Mo. He is arousing new interest in Lincoln Institute throughout the entire state. HOME!

BATTLE, 1822 Highland Ave., Kansas City, Mo —Adv. The huge American riag carried by the sixty ladies in the send-off parade for our boys Thursday of last week and in the care of Mrs. R. J. Rice, 1015 Tracy Avenue, was so badly torn that the ladies decided it their duty to get together in a body and mend it; the day set was Wednesday, July 24, but for some unexplained reason there was but one lady showed up, which was very disappointing as we are all supposed to be patriotic; even though if not, we should have been to this great flag as it was borrowed by Mr. E. Smith from his employer for this occasion and he was very anxious that it should be returned in as good condition as possible as to not cost an extra sum of money; however with the skill of our artistic Mrs. Rice and the wonderful assistance of Mrs. K. D. Price, 1816 Woodland Avenue, the flag was spread in the reception hall of Mrs. Rice's home and so beautifully mended that Mr. Smith can gladly return it to its owner without hesitating whatever at his earliest desire—All patriotic songs were sung by this group of women as they marched along. thoot-thoot t-thoo- Arter de wise ol' owl spit on de bait he say, sez ee—"I gwine ter sprize you all wid a mess er fishes 'cause you ails mus' save de meat en eat sumpin' else instid enjes git out dat ol' game bag en make it work, too," sez ee.

The Ranking Chaplain of color in the United States Army, Now With the 25th Infantry, is Spending His Two Monthe' Furlough in the City Visiting Relatives and Friends. WILL PREACH SUNDAY AT ALLEN CHAPEL. Major Geo. W. Prioleau the oldest Chaplain of color in point of service in the regular Army and one of the race's foremost representatives and a preacher of much power and eloquence has for the past ten days been visiting relatives and friends in the two Kansas Cities and will spend his vacation of two months here. Chaplain Prioleau is accompanied by Mrs. Prioleau and the children and all are enjoying excellent health. Before entering the Army, Chaplain Prioleau was one of the most prominent ministers of the A. M. E. church and bid fair to reach the highest position in the gift of his Church but he heard the call of his Country and entered into the service twenty years ago and has risen sep by step until he is recognized as not only one of the most brilliant men of color but also one of the most popular as well as competent Chaplains regardless of color in the United States Army. Chaplain Prioleau is a 33d degree Mason and is District Deputy of Missouri for Hawaii and the Phillipine Islands where he has done splendid work as well as in Arizona, New Mexico and Montana where he was Deputy previous to leaving for the Islands. Several prominent citizens and Masons are planning delightful social affairs in honor of the distinguished Chaplain during his stay and on Sunday morning July 28 at Allen Chapel at 11:00 p.m. clock the Chaplain will preach the Consecration sermon at the Consecration of the new service flag in honor of the forty-seven men who have gone out of Allen Chapel to the war. Doubtless historic Allen Chapel will be packed to its capacity to hear him. The whole race is proud of the splendid record that has been made quietly and unostentiously by our distinguished Chaplain and on behalf of all our people we welcome him and his charming family to our city.

Too Much to Expect From Frail Femininity WASHINGTON'S "Battalion of Death" has gone on its summer vacation. The steady advance of the summer heat was too much for the feminine Sammites, recruited from the various government departments. Ninety degrees in the shade was enough to dampen the enthusiasm of even the most resolute marshal. ment. By the time the parade came off the girls were as proficient as the most seasoned veteran in the "right oblique" and other orders of parade. They distinguished themselves in the long line marching down Pennsylvania avenue and the soldierettes liked it. They liked parading. They liked being told how well they did it. So they decided to keep in trim during the following months. Parades follow parades with amazing rapidity in Washington these days. The girls thought it well to be prepared. But the Ellipse is not the coolest place in Washington on a summer afternoon. The soldierettes began to fear that they would be roasted to death before getting even half a chance to display their proficiency. Then the sun brought out all the freckles they had been so carefully guarding against for so long. Even a Sammy, provided it is a feminine one, cannot be blamed for objecting to freckles right on the tips of their noses. So the battalion decided to adjourn their drill until next fall, when the deadly freckle will have retired to winter quarters and the girls can drill with unburdened minds and hearts.

JULY 27 1918 Concerning Sleeping Garments International Film Service Lady Blanche Fine Service Many women prefer pajamas to nightdresses and others acknowledge their advantages over the nightdress but are loth to part company with the dainty and frilly finishings that pajamas lack. For their benefit we have been furnished, by those who make undermuslims their special study, with a variety of sleeping garments of a new sort. These include separate trousers and coats or jackets and one-piece garments in which trousers are fastened onto a bodice. Besides these there are full-trousered pajamas worn under short kimono coats and for all of them crepe de chine has proved as practical in every way as muslin. It is easily laundered and as filmy and dainty as batiste. The figure at the left, in the picture above, is clad in plain pajamas made of sateen. They are very like the garments worn by men and are developed in several cotton fabrics, percale and outing flannel among them, and in crepe de chine. Occasionally a printflowered silk or men's wear silk shirttings are made in this model—the latter recommended to withstand wear. The garment at the right is also classed among pajamas. Just now, flesh-colored batiste with narrow Val lace and insertions or fine swiss embroideries used for decorations, is the favorite cotton fabric for these garments, but in the picture the choice seems to have fallen on strined dimity. Shoes That Hav Shoes That Have Proved Popular Here is a representative display of summer shoes that have proved popular with women who give thoughtful attention to their footwear. Except for shoes for sport wear they include styles for any sort of demand. For the street the choice between high and low shoes depends upon the weather and taste of the wearer and there is safety in providing oneself with both kinds. The high boot at the left of the picture in black kid and the oxford at the top, also in black kid, may be with Cuban heels for those who prefer them to French heels. But French heels are not always high and some women like them on street shoes. At the right of the group is a pair of white glace high boots being among the styles that are favored above all others for smart dressing. Like black shoes they go well with almost any dress. But they are to be classed among expensive luxuries for they must be made of fine quality of kid in order to clean successfully—and they are always being cleaned. In the center of the group is a pair of dressy black colonial pumps with steel buckles. These are dressy enough for any sort of wear, but below them a more brilliant pair of pumps in patent leather has buckles in sparkling jet. 1 The full trousers have almost the effect of a narrow skirt and are drawn in about the ankles in fascinating lace-edged frills. A beading, set in at the wailstone, carries a satin ribbon that gathers up the necessary width about the waist. Trousers on pajamas of crepe de chine are often banded with silk in a contrasting color and made very full. The simplest of slip-over upper garments is bordered with the same color as that used in the trousers. These new sleeping garments will please the woman who likes distinctive lingerie. Painted Sport Hats. Painted sport hats are affected by the younger girls at some of the seaside and country places. They are painted with all sorts of designs, but perhaps those showing daisies and poppies and the other unsophisticated flowers that have come in for much approbation this summer on the part of fashion, are the smartest. Very effective, too, are those painted with green and blue designs—peacock feathers, for instance, wound around the crown (in paint, of course), or pine needles and cones. With some of these hats there are bags—inverted hats, they are, with silk tops and draw strings. And with some there are those little straw cases, one-half of which slips into the other, decorated like the hats. e Proved Popular There is nothing more elegant than these and they are immensely well liked for afternoon and evening wear. There is nothing more durable or satisfactory than white canvas shoes for street wear. They are more easily cleaned than other white shoes and strong linen canvas will outwear leather. For midsummer they are the coolest of shoes and probably the most economical in the long run. Julia Bottomley New Fancies. Some simple jersey dresses are seen with collar and cuffs of knitted wool in bright colors. Crisp and summerlike and lovely are the new collar and cuff sets. They are of fine organdle, not only in white, but in delicate colorings as well. There is the fashionable yellow, Alice blue and rose pink. They are in new shapes and have tiny ruffled edges. As though the gamut of color had been run in the separate vests to be used with the plain tailored suit, we are now shown vests of black satin. In the colored kind bright organdle is the newest. TALES FROM BIG CITIES All Traffic Held Up by Mr. Drake and His Harem PHILADELPHIA. It was not a motorcycle "cop" or a couple of smashed autos that blocked the wheels of pleasure on a park boulevard this time. No, it was only a big dawdling drake and four unladylike members of his harem. Mr. Drake, the sultan of his "quack-quack" of the sultan and leader sounded more like "back-back" than anything else. "S-sic 'im! S-sic 'em!" hissed the four ladies of the sultan's harem, which was not at all ladylike, according to modern ethics of politeness. In about a minute there were two long lines of automobiles—one going, another coming, and the lines extended for a block each way, the sultan and his "legion of death" still bidding utter defiance to the huge tanklike thing that continued to snort at them. Presently the feathered patrol assembled in the middle of the highway for a consultation, which lasted several minutes, despite the fact that the noonday shoppers and occupants of the autos had been re-enforced by several park laborers armed with rakes, shovels and miscellaneous cudgels. Evidently the legion of death advised that discretion is the better part of valor; anyway, the sultan stalked proudly from the highway, followed by his feminine supporters, marching by "twos." By the time they had reached the lagoon the boulevard officers had begun to straighten out the bewildering tangle. "Pon me soul, this is more excitin' than whin Of played ducks and drakes in Oireland," remarked "Big Tim" Brady, as he searched for the bowl of his pipe that had been broken off in the battle.

But Friday afternoon the god- children to care for and suggested that he ply his suit elsewhere. Quickly came the response that he was quite willing to call quits at the game of love making but for the fact that he held the widow in fear. On the bench four little "tow heads" "innocents," the judge termed them—all under six years, regarded the proceedings gravely, while the older sister, Mary, sobbed convulsively. But a new life is to open for the children, as the court will take care of them until the father provides a new home and a housekeeper to care for them. And the housekeeper will not be a widow and mother of four. Another cause of mirth was Elmer, aged thirteen. Elmer is not a bad boy in the court's terminology, but he is possessed of a bjorish mischievous trait. His father is dead and his mother in the hospital, so Elmer had been living with a family beyond the limits of the city. Now, there was a neighbor, a physician, who, not being able to countenance boyish misbehavior, one day delivered a "thrashing" to his own protege and to Elmer. So Elmer ran away to the city, where the new-found freedom kept him out to the wee small hours. Elmer admitted to the court that he wanted to be a good boy, but the memory of the "thrashing" still rankled, for he had "felt uncomfortable for three days." The boy loves baseball and when he learned that he could be captain of the home, team, his tears were dried and even the memory of the thrashing faded as he promised to be a model boy until his mother's return to the home.

One thousand seven hundred and ninety dollars in bills of small denominations—as most of them are said to have been—would look like a van load of lettuce, so it isn't hard to imagine Carolina looking as if she was just naturally sinking into her shoes. She alleged that while attending a party recently in the apartment of Humicki she suddenly lost consciousness. When she revived some time later she was stricken with a severe chill below the knees and on investigating discovered her long green wrappings had vanished. Carolina swears she was asked to drink some one's health in what she now has every reason to believe was "knock-out drops." She reported the matter to the police, with the result that indictments for robbery in the first degree were found against her three friends.

HAVE QUEER PETS Lonely Men in Signal Tower Welcome All Sorts. Cockroach That Likes Tobacco and Drinks Ink Is One Visitor—Toad Came Regularly for Its Feast of Files. A Boston and Maine railroad signal towerman tells this story of pets he has made in his lonely perch above the tracks: At midnight nine months ago a cockroach crept out from under the telegraph desk and began to drink out of the inkwell; just about that time I laid my cigar down on the desk and began to work the telegraph key. The cockroach walked over to my cigar and sucked at the moist end for a second or so, then ran to the inkwell again and took a drink, then came back to the cigar; he repeated this performance several times and staggered away drunk as a lord. Every night around midnight for the past nine months this cockroach has drank from the inkwell on my desk and either sucked the moist end of my cigar or some moistened tobacco I place near the inkwell for him. One of the boys found a tiny muskrat in the marsh back of the signal tower one day, and he brought it into the tower. The muskrat became very tame and proved a most affectionate pet. He slept on the desk near the telegraph instruments for over two years. Although he went out very often, he wouldn't stay long, and would scratch at the door until some of us would run downstairs and let him in. Unfortunately our pet was killed by a freight train while crossing the tracks near the tower one day After the muskrat died we brought in a tiny woodchuck that a trainman had captured out on the line, and he became very much attached to all of us, and, like the muskrat, he became a very clever and amusing pet. "Shuck" stayed with us two years, and finally he disappeared one day. Possibly some dog got him, or he may have been crushed by a train. For the past 20 years an English sparrow has nested in the eaves of the tower, and this sparrow flies in and out of the tower at will, picks up bread crumbs on the floor and catches an occasional cockroach. What worries the tower men is that our pet sparrow may some day eat our pet cockroach. Last year a toad hopped up on to the doorstep of the tower and sat there blinking. One of the boys fed him a fly and the toad gobbled it in an instant, and every afternoon all summer long that toad hopped up on to the step and ate files as fast as the railroad men would feed them to him. The boys took turns and fed him in relays; the yardmaster said the boys were neglecting their work to feed the toad; but he became so fascinated watching the performance that he caught flies for an hour one day and fed the toad. I'm afraid the toad will go hungry this summer if he shows up, for we're too busy moving war supplies to bother with feeding pets around a railroad yard. Every stray dog that ever wandered into the ward has found a haven in the tower, and several litters of puppies have been born there. We've had cats galore; one cat in particular was a snake catcher, and she brought in a snake nearly every day. Stole Sugar by Bucketfuls Sugar thieves employed an ingenious method the other day at Launceston, Australia. A quantity of sugar had been bought for export but, ships not being immediately available, it was decided to store the stuff at the port. Accordingly huts were built on the wharves, but as the decking had shrunk somewhat, tarpaulins were first laid down, and then the sugar bags placed on this. The doors were locked, and a watchman placed in charge. When the time came to empty the sheds the bottom tier of bags were found flat and empty, with a slit in the under side. Each slit corresponded with one in the tarpaulin directly over spaces in the planking. The method of the sugar thieves was simple. When the tide was about halfway up the piles, a boat was taken under the wharves as near as possible to the stores, and then it was only a matter of crawling over the ties, knife and bucket in hand, until the right spot was reached. Brave Act Rewarded Arthur G. Palmer, a water tender attached to the United States ship O'Brien was overboard and struggling in the water. A strong ebb tide was running and Palmer had all he could do to keep from going down. At the moment when he was near exhaustion David Goldman, a machinist's mate, second class, jumped overboard and, beating his way through the rough water, reached the man and brought him to safety. He has been commended by the secretary of the navy for this action. Goldman enlisted in the navy in 1911 at San Francisco. Concrete Ship In Norway Concrete ship in Norway. Commercial Agent Norman L. Anderson reports the launching of a 600-ton concrete ship from the Fougner yards at Moss, Norway. The ship has four water-tight compartments; the engine, a 220 horsepower Bollder motor, is placed aft. The boat has two large holds and two hatches, each equipped with a two-ton motor winch. WHAT SHIPS MEAN TO FARMER vent the landing of large forces in France. But by its foul methods of warfare it has already sunk many millions of tons of ships. Not only has that world loss to be more than made up, but we have to provide a large further tonnage to keep on sending our soldiers abroad and supplying them adequately. We have the unprecedented job of not only feeding our own army but other armies and other populations also. TH a probable bumper crop of at least 900,000,000 bushels of bread grains expected from our farms this year, the American farmer is showing what his contribution is to the war for human freedom. Remote as he may be from ITH a probable bumper crop or at least 900,000,000 bushels of bread grains expected from our farms this year, the American farmer is showing what his contribution is to the war for human freedom. Remote as he may be from the actual scene of conflict, he knows that he is a big part of the world battle line. Upon his productive efforts largely depend the supplying of the allied armed forces and populations with food. But the ships required for those purposes are only a part of what we need. Later on those ships will be necessary in bringing back our victorious soldiers from Europe. But at present and for some time to come the movement is one of full ships to Europe and fairly empty ones back. To the appeal, "Food will win the war," the American farmer has responded with splendid results. But of course that appeal has its qualifications. One proviso is that food will go a long way toward insuring victory if we have plenty of ships to convey it where it is needed. Great fleets of ships have been or are being created by the United States shipping board. They are being produced at a record pace. But to carry out our vast necessary shipping program with the fullest adequacy it is vital that the earnest interest of every part of our great country should be unceasingly enlisted. The United States is now the great reservoir from which supplies must be drawn. The enormous gain in our exports shows how other nations are increasingly looking to us to sustain them. Although our exports may occasionally decline, still on the whole there is every probability of their increasing, not only during the war but after the war. Large areas of Europe are depopulated and devastated. Many of the rich wheat-growing sections including almost all of the winter-wheat producing areas of Russia, are in the Germans' possession. Conditions in Russia are chaotic. The western European allies produced in 1917 about 222,000,000 bushels less than the annual pre-war average. There was a great drop also in the wheat production of other European countries. Argentina, Australia and India are producing good crops. But there is no shipping to move it properly. Far away from the seaboard as many of our farms are, they are joined with the ocean to a degree they never were before. The ships supplement the plow and the harvester. Day and night the farmer has been thinking of how he could make his land more productive. It is a subject that never leaves him. The indications are that so well has he thought it out that this year's crop of winter wheat alone will be 154,000,000 bushels more than last year's, large as that was. And this is only one part of the immense crops coming from American farms. True, there is always the gamble of weather conditions and the menace of insect depredations. But the present promise is a high production from our farms. While the war is on there is a big enough demand from our allies in Europe for materials of all kinds. We have to supply coal, steel, oil, cotton, lumber, rails, locomotives and a great quantity of other products. After the war when the job of rehabilitating Europe is put through, the demand upon this country for raw and manufactured material of all kinds will be enormous. We shall also have to replenish the depleted herds of Europe from our own cattle. Ours, in fact, will be the task of supplying most of the world. Of itself this fact does not alarm the Huns. They know that our big food supply is of no danger to them if we cannot get it across. But what does fill them with dread and foreboding is the knowledge that we are rapidly getting together the ships that will transport it over the ocean to feed our troops and those of the allies and the peoples of the countries banded to defeat Hun aggression. What will further make the Huns quake is the fact that our millions of farmers are as determined to support the program for vast fleets of ships as they are set upon raising vast crops. So it is clear that besides the millions of tons of shipping urgently needed for the army and navy, we shall need a great permanent merchant marine. In 1914 only $166,000,000 of the more than $2,000,000,000 of our exports was carried in American vessels. Even now a great part of the cargo and passenger ships we are using are seized enemy vessels or requisitioned or chartered ailled or neutral vessels. The Hun submarine murder campaign was undertaken with the express view of starving out certain countries, and terrorizing the rest. It aimed at destroying the ships that could carry our supplies to Europe. It didn't succeed any more in that design than in the effort to pre- Not only on the Atlantic but on all oceans we must have an abundance of American ships. Since the opening of the Panama canal, the Atlantic and Pacific oceans have been linked by the short route. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. JULY 27. 1918. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1912 Western Newspaper Union) LESSON FOR JULY 28 OBEYING GOD. LESSON TEXTS—Matthew 4:18-22; John 14:22-24; James 1:22-27. GOLDEN TEXT—If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.—John 14:15. DEVOTIONAL READING—John 15:8-17. PRIMARY TOPIC—Loving God and do- ing his will. LESSON MATERIAL—Matthew 4:18-22; James 1:22-27. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL-I Chronicles 16:15; Psalms 103:17-18; Matthew 5:19; John 15:12-14; I John 2:3-6, 17. Obedience is a vital part of our religion. The obedience of the Christian is not legal but filial. Eternal life is not secured through obedience, but obedience is the tangible evidence that one possesses it. 1. The Call of the First Disciples (Matt 4:18-22). 1. By whom—Jesus Christ (v. 18). Jesus is the Son of God. Since he is equal with God, he has the right to call. Those who hear his call should render instant and hearty obedience. 2. The circumstances of their call (v. 18). The call came to them while they were busy with their business interests. God always calls men who are vitally engaged in some business, not those in idleness. 8. The nature of (v. 19). It was a definite call, in that definite men were called into a definite service. (1) To follow Christ. We must follow Christ before we can serve him, Only Christians can do Christian work, We should follow him to be like him, in order to win others to him. (2) To win men for him—"Fishers of men." Christ calls men into work of the same character as that in which they were engaged. They had been fishing for fish; now they are to be fishers of men. When Christ calls men he does not call them to a lower service. This is a fine case of promotion. Men catch fish to kill and feed upon them, but Christ's disciples catch men to make them alive and feed them. 4. Response to Christ's call (vv. 20-22). (1) They left their business interests immediately. (2) They not only left their business, but James and John left their father also. Following Jesus sometimes means turning one's back upon business interests and dearest friends and relations. Regardless of what it costs, the true discipline will render instant obedience to the call of Christ, because he has a right to call us, and we can trust his wisdom to not call until he has need. II. The Motive for Obedience (John 14:22-24). The grand motive actuating obedience is love to Christ. The proof that we do love him is that we obey him. Even when we may not be conscious of unusual outgoings of the affection, the conclusive evidence that we love is that we obey. Keeping his commandments means such a regard for them that we highly treasure them as something precious. The reward for such obedience is to have Christ's prayer for us to God to send his Holy Spirit upon us (John 14:16, 17). Then, too, the Father will love us, and he and the Son will take up their abode with us. This abode is not temporary but permanent. serve China, Japan, the Philippines, Russia and Australia. All of these countries as well as Central and South America, have materials or products which we need just as they need ours. Australia recently had a surplus stated to be 800,000,000 bushels of wheat and another big surplus in process of gathering. There was enough, in fact, to feed England and France for a year. But it was of no practical use to the allies. There were no vessels to be spared for the long haul which takes eight or ten weeks from Australia to England. Last year there was a surplus in Java of 1,000,000 tons of sugar which other parts of the world needing badly could not get because of lack of ships. III. The Kind of Obedience That Counts (James 1:22-27). 1. The obedience of deeds (vv. 22-24). Great heaps of coffee were spoiling on the East Indian wharves. There was no shipping to move it to other countries. Hearing God's Word will do no good unless it is accompanied with obedience. Hearing and not doing is as futile as beholding one's face in a looking glass and forgetting what manner of man he is. Calling Christ Lord, and not doing what he says, will avail nothing (Matt. 7:21, 22). To pretend to know God and not keep his commandments is to lie (1 John 2:4). Pyrites, which was badly needed here, could not be brought from Spain because of the want of ships. These are but a few examples of what a ship famine means. Besides the many millions of tons of shipping needed for the purposes already described, there is also the pressing necessity for multiplying the number of ships, tugs and barges for domestic coastwise, lake and inland waterway transportation. These are of the most vital importance to the farmer. Our inland, lake and coast waterways can be used to transport vast quantities of wheat and other products, and freight of all kinds can be sent back on the return trip. This transportation will be cheaper to the farmer and greatly tends to relieve railway congestion. 2. The obedience of perseverance (v. 25). We should not only look into God's Word and admire its perfections, but steadfastly and persistently do the things required. Only those who thus persevere shall be blessed in their deeds. 3. The obedience of speech (v. 26). The one who has genuine religion will control his tongue. Just as the physician oftimes can diagnose the physical condition of the patient by an examination of the tongue, so the moral and spiritual condition of the individual can be determined by the speech of the individual. The one who does not control his tongue proves that his religion is empty and void. In less than a year's time the accomplishments of the United States shipping board have been on an unprecedented scale. Where in 1917 there were only 61 shipyard plants in the United States, there are now 158, and more are being constantly established. The United States shipping board has given out contracts for 8,183,000 deadweight tons of ships, and has already put in service 831,111 deadweight tons of new shipping. This in addition to 2,073,826 deadweight tons of neutral and allied ships under charter, German and Austrian ships seized, and Dutch ships requisitioned. It is launching new ships rapidly, and is beginning to make provision for tugs and barges for inland and coastwise water traffic. From the small number of 44,926 men employed in American shipyards on April 1, 1917, the force of shipbuilders in our yards has now increased to 300,000. 4. The obedience of kindness (v. 27). Those who have received the kindness of God will manifest that kindness in their lives. This kindness will express itself in ministering to the fatherless and widows. 5. The obedience of purity of life (v. 27). The Law of God enjoins upon his children not only purity of life, but abstinence from all appearance of evil. The one who has been made a partaker of the Divine nature keeps himself from the sins of the world. It means his separation from the things of the world which corrupt. With this progress American farmers can look forward to the certainty of a great merchant marine, built in American shipyards and carrying their products the world over now and after the war. The Housewife and the War The Housewife and the War (Special Information Service, United States Department of Agriculture.) NO CLOSED SEASON IN FLY HUNTING THE FLY The Picture Shows the House Fly, Enlarged; Eggs of the House Fly, Highly Magnified; and an Efficient Conical Hoop Fly Trap That Can Be Made at Home. DEAD FLIES ARE ONLY GOOD FLIES Swatting in Summer May Prevent Abundant Reproduction Before Cold Weather. IS VERITABLE "GERM-HUN" Screening and Use of Papers, Poisons and Traps Are Good Only as Temporary Expedients—Use of Formalin Is Favored. Every fly that this year contaminates and destroys food or spreads illness is an enemy of America in even greater degree than in the past. As a fly hunter, alluding to the tendency of the insect to spread disease, expressed it recently, the fly is a veritable "Germ-Hun." Every fly destroyed means a contribution, be it ever so slight, to the cause of America efficient. The best time to swat the fly, of course, is early in the breeding season, before the young ones have become grandparents. Flies killed in the spring prevent hordes later on. But it is a never-ending battle, and in late July and early August vigilance becomes more than ever necessary. Work to kill flies even at this time may prevent abundant reproduction before cold weather. In fact, there is no closed season in hunting files. A swat in any day of the year is a meritorious swat, and even a fly buzzing around a window-pane in midwinter should be regarded as legitimate prey. Controlling the Fly. Careful screening of windows and doors during the summer months does not decrease the number of files, but at least it lessens the danger of contamination of food. This applies not only to homes, but with equal force to stores, restaurants, bakeries, dairies, and every other place where food is handled. Use of sticky fly papers to destroy files that have gained access to houses also is well-known, and fly-poison preparations are common. Many of the commercial fly poisons contain arsenic, and their use in the household is attended by considerable danger, especially to children. This danger, according to specialists of the United States department of agriculture, is lessened by the use of a weak solution of formalin. An effective fly poison is made by adding three teapoupons of the commercial formalin to a pint of milk or water sweetened with a little brown sugar. Flytrap may be used to advantage. Their use has been advocated not only because of immediate results, but because of the chances that the files may be caught before they lay their first batch of eggs, thus reducing the numbers of future generations. Many types of fly traps are on the market, and as a rule the larger ones are effective. The United States department of agriculture on request will send directions for making flytraps, not only for household use, but for catching files and destroying eggs around stables and other breeding plaves. Preventive Measures. Fly papers, poisons and traps at best are only temporary expedients. The most logical method of abating the fly nuisance is the elimination or treatment of all breeding places. It would appear, specialists say, from what is known of the life history and habits of the common house fly that it is perfectly feasible for cities and towns to reduce the numbers of these annoying and dangerous insects so greatly as to render them of comparatively slight account. Following are some recommendations of *entomolo- gists who have studied the subject thoroughly: Water-tight floors in stables, of concrete or masonry, prevent egg development. Horse manure should be kept in flytight pits or bins, equipped wherever possible with flytraps. Manure should be removed frequently, not less frequently than twice a week during the summer months. In rural and suburban districts stable manure should be removed every morning and hauled out at once and spread rather thinly on the fields, not only to prevent development of fly eggs, but to get the maximum fertilizing value. Treatment of manure with chemical substances to kill the eggs and maggots of the house fly has been found effective in experiments by the department of agriculture, which has publications for free distribution describing in detail this and other methods of destroying files, their eggs and maggots. Not only horse stables but chicken yards, piggeries and garbage receptacles as well must be guarded. In cities, with better methods of garbage disposal and with the lessening of the number of horses and stables with the increase of street railways and automobiles, the time may not be far away, according to department specialists, when window screens may be discarded. COSTLY FOODS ARE NOT ALWAYS BEST The nutritive value of an article of food and its price seldom have any relation to each other. An expensive cut of beef is not necessarily any more sustaining than a cheap one. It usually tastes better or can be cooked by easier methods. But care in cooking and seasoning will make inexpensive meats attractive and much better than costly ones poorly prepared. With fruits and vegetables the price is often determined by the season. A vegetable out of season is much more expensive than one in season, but it is no more nutritive. --- Protein and Its Value. Every farmer knows that nitrogen is one of the chemical elements which neither his crops nor his stock can do without. The same is true of nitrogen in human food. It is absolutely necessary for the building and repair of body tissues and can be obtained only from the food substance or nutrient known as protein. The foods usually classed as rich in protein are milk, cheese, eggs, meat, poultry and fish; dried legumes, such as peas, beans, cowpeas, soy beans and peanuts. Wheat, oats and some other cereals also furnish considerable protein. A man at moderate muscular work is believed to need about three and one-half ounces of protein a day, and a family consisting of father, mother and three small children needs about twelve ounces a day. Real economy in the use of protein foods lies not in leaving them out of the diet, but in choosing and combining kinds which will supply the total amount needed as cheaply as circumstances permit. Barley Saves Wheat. Not many years ago barley was used more extensively than wheat for bread making in many European countries. Now it is coming into American favor as a wheat substitute. Barley flour is very satisfactory for hot breads. Try this recipe, tested by government specialists, for barley drop biscuits: 2 cupfuls barley 1 cupful of milk. flour tablespoonfuls fat. $1 \frac{1}{2}$ teaspoonfuls of 6 tablespoonfuls baking powder. Baked in a sheet this makes a good shortcake.
