Cor See. 718 Arnold St. SUCCESSFUL BOARD MEETING A successful meeting of the Mt Olive Baptist Executive Board was held with the 12th St. Baptist church, Cairo last week from Thursday until Saturday. Several of the prominent ministers of both the East and Mt Olive associations were present and rendered valuable service both in the discussion of topics and preaching. Elders, C. W. norment, J. J. Totten, A. Lovelace, I. W. Winston, J. M. Blake and D. Parrish, delivered some very effective sermons to the delight to those who heard them. The theme of the discussion was a getting "together" of the Baptists in Southern Illinois for more and better work along all lines for the moral uplift of the race and spiritual development of --- the churches There are several weak and pastorless churches in the district made so largely on the account of faithless preachers. This evil or vacancy will have immediate presence of Dr. J. H. Knowles, Missionary and Rev. J. H. Hunt who has been appointed as submissionary by Dr. Knowles in his territory. This was done on account of the large territory to be covered by the missionary with so few pastors. Rev. Hunt will report to the missionary and the Board will hold Rev. Knowles responsible for his acts as he was elected by the association. We hope to see them run some successful revivals in the churches mentioned. Rev. Knowles made a good report but the churches failed to send any money to him. Rev. J. H. Starks, pastor of 12th St., church is doing good work when you take in account the trouble that existed in the church before he was called. The messengers were well cared for by the pastors and members. CENTRALIA Go to Church Day. Rev. H. Allison, pastor of the Second Baptist church preached Sunday morning from II. Co., 5, chapter. Subj., "every one must appear before the judgment bar." He told how memory would bring before us every deed whether good or bad and how we would have to give account to God of every deed done. He employ Jesus Christ as their attorney. He very forcibly told of the tate of those who would not accept the plan of salvation and drew a beautiful word picture of those who accepted the plan of salvation. He urged every one to prepare to live, not die because they must die whether they were prepared or not; we must live somewhere through all eternity. Every seat was occupied, chairs were placed in ailes, people were turned away unable to get in the church. The Sunday school, Women's Educational and Mission Society and B. Y. P. U. were largely attended. At night he preached from Numbers 15:37-41. His subject was the "Blue Ribbon." and he told how Christ had done away with signs and wrote his law in the hearts of men. The sermon was an excellent one and many were made to rejoice. The number attending services Sunday was 634 Zenobia Hinds, 802 East 5th St. SUCCESSFUL NEGRO ENTERPRISE. Evidence of the successful management of financial enterprises by Negroes was demonstrated here last Monday when a mortgage note of $4,080.63, due on the Babin plantation, was paid by the General Grand Independent Order of Brothers and Sisters of America, a fraternal organization composed of leading Negroes of the state. The Babin plantation, formerly owned by the late Adlard Landry, a pioneer planter, was purchased two years ago by the Negro society, which paid most of the purchase price cash, the balance being represented by the note liquidated Monday. The fin ancing of the place is said to have been by S. W. Wade and Dr. C. L. Robert of Cheneyville, and Dr. J. H. Lowery and Prof. E. D. Wright of Donaldsonville The plantation is now known as the New African Farm and was planted in rice for the past two seasons by the new owners, who report having made fine and profitable crops.-From Donald soville "Chief."

CINCINNATI, OHIO Waterproof. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In an address delivered at the Auditorium at Houston, Tex., E. L. Blackshear, the head of the Prairie View Normal and Industrial College for Colored Youths, had this to say concerning the reasons why the negroes of Houston are specially interested in the movement to build a general hospital in Houston. The plan contemplated does not seek to make one hospital do for both races. They will be separate and distinct institutions; but there is to be a hospital for both, and upon the basis that in caring for his own health interests the white citizen must protect the colored as a matter of "Safety First." Following is the address delivered: Rev. Mr. Pevoto of the Baptist sanitarium of Houston in a visit to Prairie View on a recent Sunday used the Sabbath school lesson of the day as the basis of his remarks. It was the lesson of the Good Samaritan, and the speaker saw in this parable the germ of the modern hospital. And indeed, how true is it that this spirit of the Good Samaritan, who picked up a helpless stranger, wounded and sore, and bound up his wounds and placed him in the Eastern inn for care and protection exemplifies the spirit of Christ, now manifested in modern hospitals, and in the Red Cross system of national and international relief. Regardless of race, nationality or creed, the Red Cross spirit, the modern hospital spirit, takes hold of helpless sufferers and gives them relief and medical and sanitary attention. The spirit of Christ is not the secular spirit and pride of nationality or race so well exemplified in the classic civilizations of Greece and Rome, but it is the spirit of humanity, the spirit of the Golden Rule, the spirit of human sacrifice for human good, the spirit of the Good Samaritan. The colored people as a part of God's common humanity need the help of modern medical science and sanitation. From the standpoint of self-protection, the municipality owes its colored population sanitary conditions, for bacterial diseases are no respecter of race or color once they find lodgment; and bacterial infection or contagion, originating from unwholesome conditions among colored people may thrust their fatal hand even into the mansions of wealth and culture. It is of interest to the whites that the bodies and hands and homes of those of the colored people who cook the food and wash the clothing and dress and handle the children of the white people should be clean, wholesome and sanitary. Speaking generally, insanitary conditions and disease among the negro people weaken the efficiency of the city's labor and entail a loss upon invested capital, which is fruitless without efficient labor. In the older days faithful slave women were the nurses of the south. They sat in humble patience at the bedside of the stricken mistress or her children, the dusky Samaritans of an alien race. Just as my grandmother, Aunt Harriet of Mongomery, Ala., was a type of the cooks of old days who, Midaslike, turned whatever cooking material they touched to the gold palatableness, so my wife's grandmother, Aunt Cella of Grenada, Miss., was a type of the nurses of old, who was in truth a Good Samaritan in black, and, for miles around, was sent for to nurse the afflicted white women and children back to health and happiness. Retail dealers in Hongkong are discovering the advantages of window-dressing after the American plan. The honor of class oratory, assigned to a negro at Harvard, is indeed a creditable achievement, though eloquence in this fervid and imaginative race is not an unusual endowment, many negro preachers having manifested this moving quality. It is stated that this graduate-to-be has it in mind to devote his life to the uplift of his race. There is ample opportunity for many lives to be so devoted. The freed race has progressed unevenly, individual specimens attaining to a high degree of knowledge and culture, while the mass of blacks are as much the wards of civilization as ever they were in the days of bondage. Not till individual culture begins to bear fruit in community uplift can work among the negroes be said to show adequate results. A curious tree of the tropics, the matapalo, grows only with the aid of another tree, which it gradually envelopes and kills. Before an American helix who marries a foreign nobleman places him on exhibition she removes the price mark. Sixty thousand dollars a day is the estimate of the loss due to the recent strike at Dublin, Ireland. It is estimated that the Uruguay wool crop this season will reach a value of $25,000,000. Natural gas consumed in the United States last year was equivalent to 20,000,000 tons of coal. The diamond output of German South Africa is being regulated to maintain prices. "I'm no professional agitator for temperance," said Booker Washington, in a recent address, "but keep whisky away from the negro. In the counties and states where there are no open barrooms the negro is 50 per cent. better off. I don't believe that prohibition increases drunkenness, as one so often hears. Certain men will get whisky anywhere—but in prohibition counties you hear of the ten men who do get whisky—and you don't hear of the 100 men who do not. "There are 200,000 colored people always sick from preventable causes," said he. "Some one is paying the bill. Not the colored man directly—for he can't." He opposes segregation in cities—"not because the colored man objects to associating with his own people. He is proud of his race. He wants to associate with his own kind. But experience has taught him that where he is segregated the street lights are dimmer and the streets muddier and the sidewalks more full of holes and the police service more indifferent than in other parts of the same town—but that he is made to pay his full share of the bills." Nor is he in sympathy with the proposition to plant immigrants on the soil of the south. The colored man, he thinks, is already fitted to his environment. If he is given a fair chance he is the most satisfactory laborer the southern employer can have. But he wants a little of the comforts of life. He wants good church and school and social facilities in the country districts. "The white folks of Dallas county," said he, "held a meeting in the courthouse one night to discuss the question of immigration. Old Jake, the colored janitor, was a very curious old chap. He always tried to find out what was going on—but this meeting stumped him. After it was over he met the sheriff. "Cunnel Jones,' said he, 'w'at you w'ite folks up to now? "Colonel Jones explained. But Jake could not understand that word immigration. Jones had to make it clear. "What do you think of the plan of bringing more white folks to Dallas county, Jake?' asked Colonel Jones. "Foh de Lord's sake, Cunnel Jones,' said he, 'we Dallas county niggers got just as many w'ite folks as we can support now.'" "Tiere are only 300,000 American Indians," said a prominent negro, "and the government appropriates $10,000,-000 to $12,000,000 each year to feed and cloth and educate them. And they're dying off. There are 10,000,-000 of us, and the government isn't called on to do a thing for us, as a race." Of the negroes, 9,000,000 are in the southern states, and 55 per cent. of these in rural districts or villages. He thinks that the negro's best chance is in the south. The southern white is more tolerant of the negro's differences from the white race. He is more inclined to give the negro a chance. "That's all we want," he said. "Just a chance. I saw the other day that $50,000,000 is being spent annually to rescue Great Britain's drunkards from the ditch. We're not in the ditch—but help us keep out of it." The negro, he thought, is worse off in the cities, especially in the northern cities. More than one-half of the money derived from England's income tax is collected from Londoners. In the region between Yorktown and Williamsburg there is a district, where much of the land has long been either owned or tenanted by colored people; but it is a "back country" far from the river and penetrated by few good roads, so that it is and always has been a region of wretched poverty, miserable cabins and neglected soil, very different from the farming district on the eastern shore of Virginia, for example, where there are many well-cultivated farms owned or tenanted by colored men. In this latter region the large estates are being cut up into farms of from 60 to 100 acres, provided with complete outfits of farm buildings, and rented, or sold in many instances, to colored men. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway and other European nations have for many years been making provision for industrial and technical instruction in public schools. In England the Smiths are the most numerous of all families, but in Ireland they are content to rank fifth, after Murphy, Kelly, Sullivan and Walsh. More than 50 per cent. of the sheep of this country are on the large ranches of the west. In the last year Iowa produced 96,953,183 pounds of butter, which was sold for $28,285,240. In Melbourne no Sunday papers are permitted; no hotels are allowed to open their bars. In a year 7,707,000 cigars and 14,000,000 cigarettes were smoked in the United States.

"Johnny, dear," said the visitor. John McTurk turned around while the family cat rescued her tail from his grubby fist. "Now that you are going to school," continued the visitor, "I want to ask you a little question: How many marbles would you get if I gave you twenty, to be divided between you and Andrew McDonald?" Johnny thoughtfully rubbed the point of his nose where the cat had scratched him. "I dinna ken." he said. I tinnah ken, he said. "Come, come," said his elder. "How's that?"

The grubby-looking man stood in the doorway with determination on every line of his unshaven countenance. The housewife who faced him was equally determined. "Yes, madam," said the shabby man; "the guv'nor says to me, 'Go and git Mr. Jones' dress suit to be cleaned and pressed. The lady'll give it to yer.' The guv'nor's tailor, you see, mum." "Oh!" replied the lady. "And did you see Mr. Jones?" "I did, mum," came the answer; "wlv me own eyes. He says, 'The lady'll know. I lef' a message at 'ome.'" Plainly Mrs. Jones was perplexed. The trickster felt he had nearly achieved his object. The lady's reply finally crushed him, however.

Start Them Off Right With a Good Mothers are often unconsciously very careless about the diet of their children, forcing all to eat the same foods. The fact is that all foods do not agree alike with different persons. Hence, avoid what seems to constipate the child or to give it indigestion, and urge it to take more of what is quickly digested. If the child shows a tendency to constipation it should immediately be given a mild laxative to help the bowels. By this is not meant a physic or purgative, for these should never be given to children, nor anything like salts, pills, etc. What the child requires is simply a small dose of the gentlest of medicines, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, in the opinion of thousands of watchful mothers, is the ideal remedy for any child showing a tendency to constipation. So many things can happen to a constipated child that care is necessary. Colds, piles, headaches, sleepeasness, and many other annoyances that children should not have can usually be traced to constipation. Many of America's foremost families are never without Syrup Pepsin, because one can never tell when some member of the family may need it, and all can use it. Thousands endorse it, among them Mrs. M. E. Patten, Valley Junction, Iowa, who is never without it in the house. Mrs. Patten No More "Black Broth" for Him. Among the forgotten dishes of the past was the "black broth of Lacedaemon." "What the ingredients of this sable composition were," says a writer, "we cannot exactly ascertain. Doctor Lister (in 'Apicus') supposed it to have been hog's blood. . . . It could not be a very alluring mess, since a citizen of Sybaris, having tasted it, declared it was no longer a matter of astonishment with him why the Spartans were no fearless of death, since any one in his senses would much rather die than exist on such execrable food." FACE BROKE OUT IN PIMPLES Falls City, Neb.—"My trouble began when I was about sixteen. My face broke out in little pimples at first. They were red and sore and then became like little boils. I picked at my face continually and it made my face red and sore looking and then I would wake up at night and scratch it. It was a source of continual annoyance to me, as my face was always red and slotched and burned all the time. "I tried _____, and others, but I could find nothing to cure it. I had been troubled about two years before I found Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and tried them and I then bought some. I washed my face good with the Cuticura Soap and hot water at night and then applied the Cuticura Ointment. In the morning I washed it off with the Cuticura Soap and hot water. In two days I noticed a decided improvement, while in three weeks the cure was complete." (Signed) Judd Knowles, Jan. 10, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

At last he made a trip to the city. There, for the first time in his life, he saw a schoolgirl go through her gymnastic exercises for the amusement of the little ones at home. After garing at her with looks of interest and compassion for some time he asked a boy near if she had fits. "No," the boy replied. "Them's gymnastics." "Ah, how sad!" said the man. "How long has she had 'em" "Let us get up a pscatorial excursion." "Can't do it. I've just arranged to go on a fishing party." Its Kind.

PATTEN says that Syrup Pepsin has done wonders for her boy Ralph, who was constipated from birth but is now doing fine. Naturally, she is enthusiastic about it and wants other mothers to use it. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the latter size being bought by those who already know its value, and it contains proportionately more. Everyone likes Syrup Pepsin, as it is very pleasant to the taste. It is also mild and non-gripping and free from injurious ingredients. Families wishing to try a free sample bottle can obtain it postpaid by addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 203 Washington St. Monticello, Ill. A postal card with your name and address on it will do. Enjoyment! "Do you get much enjoyment out of the new dances?" they asked the stout man of mellow years. "Enjoyment!" he echoed. "Watch me." Seizing his partner in a grip of iron, he ambled to the right, kicked to the left, doubled his knees, kicked all around, lunged ahead, dipped to the rear, kicked some more, took a short run, beat a retreat, nicked a passing couple and sank down heavily. "Doesn't that l-look like enjoyment?" he stammered. Use for Old Umbrella Rode. The steel rods from old umbrellas make fine plant supports.

But have you ever tried “willing” your feet warm when you get into bed? A man told me the other day that he concentrated his mind, as it were, on his feet, and willed them warm, Preséntly there was a sensation of tingling in. his calves, qnd then his meels begin to glow. ‘The last night or two I ‘have ‘tried this method, with some success.

In 1901 it was 49,149, 17,000 being from the United States; in 1906 it was 189,064, of which 57,000 were Americans, and in 1913 it was about 400,000, of which about 140,000 were Americans.
