MOTTO : "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." A CARD TO THE VOTERS FROM EMMA BRAINARD. Kind Friends: I wish to make an explanation as to why an article written by me and handed to the four county papers for publication, did not appear in the Journal Republican. Mr. Spence, the editor of that paper refused to publish it. I make this statement merely to explain why the card I am writing this week will not appear in the Journal Republican. As you know, I was a candidate in the Republican Primary but was defeated by a small majority, but was made the nominee on the democratic ticket. I was urged so earnestly by my friends to allow them an opportunity to still vote for me, and after careful consideration decided to them the privilege of doing so by not withdrawing from the race. For that reason I still remain a candidate subject to the will of the voters of the county. I am sure you will agree with me that this is not and should not be made a political office. I am not seeking the office for any purpose only that I may be greater factor in the upbuilding of the schools and school work. I wish to emphasize the fact that my whole life has been devoted to this work, which gives me the experience necessary for the office. By having assisted in the county Superintendent's office for a number of years, I have become acquainted with every school in the county and personally acquainted with almost every teacher in the county. Now, I feel sure that you are interested in all educational work, and I earnestly solicit your vote in the general election on November 3, 1914. Very truly yours, EMMA BRAINARD. (Political Paid advertisement.) Ramblings. Rambler in company of Geo. and Edgar McCrayt and Miss Carrie Urquhart, left for Mounds, last Friday where the former was scheduled to conduct a S. S. Institute for Mt. Olive Baptist S. S. Convention with St. John Baptist church from Friday to Sunday inclusive. Owing to the funeral of Rev. Chas. D. Street, who deceased this life on Tuesday the meeting was not held until night. A short session was held and then Rev. R. A. Dehoney preached quite an able and appropriate sermon Saturday morning another short session was held and then the meeting adjourned to meet Friday before the 5th Sunday in November, with 2nd Baptist church Md City, if accepted. The following named officers, messengers and workers—Presidents, D. Farrow, J. W. Corneal secretaries, Edgar McCryar, and Miss Carrie Urquhart, Rev J. B. McCrary, conductor, Miss Beulah Thacker, Mrs. J. H. Starks, Rev. J. H. Knowles, of Cairo. Miss Adline Leake, of Centralia, Rev. Wm Bell, Mr., and Mrs. Whit Blackwell of Md City, Rev. N. London, I. W. Winston, and others. The meeting was not what it should have been, but much interest was manifested on the part of the workers and officers and they should be commended for their sacrifice of time and money and we were truly sorry that the local talent and S. S. workers no more interested in the work. The Institute voted thanks to the Sisters Bertha Lane, Gracey Mays, Southerland, Brandon and Hardy, also Rev. Parrish, the pastor. Rambler spent Sunday in Future City, and Cairo, Sunday at 10 o'clock a.m. we visited Future City S. S. in company of Dennis Farrow the President, where we found the school in a good condition with Mrs. Mahone the efficient superintendent in charge. We received $1.00 from the school. We were invited and took dinner with the supt., in her modern and cozy home, where she and her husband presented 3 small but new Bibles to to the Livingston Institute for which we extend thanks. At 1:30 p.m. we visited the 12th st. Baptist S. S where we found Miss Beulah Thacker, in charge and doing a good work. We delivered an address to the school and received $1.00 on my missionary visit. At 6:30 we met the B. Y. P. U. and addressed the same. This organization has Mr Cleveland Jones as President, who is well qualified for said position. At 8 o'clock we filled the pulpit for Rev. J. H. Starks, where we found a large audience of intelligent people. The sermon was appreciated. The clubs had a monthly rally and raised $27. 60. The Ladies sewing circle with Mrs. Emma Farrow, President led in the rally. Rev. J. H. Starks, is doing good work in this church. While in the the city we were pleasantly entertained in the elegant home of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Farrow. We left Monday for Md City, where we spent a few hours with our friends Mr. and Mrs. Luke Alston, who entertained us for dinner. We find the district in a fair condition and by earnest endeavors on the part of the officers of the S. S. convention and association our district will be second to none. We extend thanks to those who extended to us so many courtesies, and pray the benediction of the father upon them. We met Rev. S. J. Williams, of Canton, Ill. in the city who was invited to preach at the 19th st. Baptist church Sunday with a view of calling him to the pastorate of said church. We also met Revs McWilliams and Phillips in Cairo, Rev 'Mc' filled the pulpit at Mt. Meriah Baptist church Sunday but we failed to learn where Rev. Phillips held forth. We found Attorney Charles L. Rice busy engaged in circuit court Monday having many cases to look alter. Alston and Parker, are doing a good business in Md City in the grocery and meat business. Rev. G. W. Braddock, of Md City enjoys a large patronage of both white and colored in the grocery business. Our people in Md City, Mounds and Cairo, are learning to do business on an economic and a business like way and it is commendable indeed to see our people making such rapid strides in the business and professional world. Mr. Henry Wilson of Cairo, brother of Mrs. L. A Mitchell, of this city and Prof. C. C. Wilson, of Cairo, editof the Baptist Truth, died last Saturday and was burried Monday. The Gazette extends to the bereaved relatives our sympathy, Peace to his ashes.

OUR OBSERVATION. The leading Negroes of Southern Illinois knows all about the local and district affairs, the conditions and how to reach the voters and stands higher in the estimation and confidence of the Negro voters than any class of orators sent from other sections of the state. We feel safe in saying that the committees are making vast mistakes by sending for, and having men come from the northern region instead of bringing them from the Southern counties. We have just as good speakers among our people in "Egypt" as can be found anywhere and they feel themselves slighted and have expressed themselves so to me in the last few weeks, and they are letting them do the talking. We hesitated before we made this statement, but in order that the same mistake two years hence, we make this observation. Watch what we have said because we know whereof we speak.

Whatever vegetable is turned into a puree must first be well boiled, then passed through a sieve—a work demanding Patience, it is true. The puree will then have a little butter and season ing added to it, cream or tho yolks of eggs, or Some gravy sauce, accord ing to what meat it accompanies. A puree of chestnuts accompanies veal or, poultry and requires the ad- dition of a little thick cream. A puree of white haricot beans accompanies Toast mutton. A puree of sorrel or spinach, or both combined, is really nicest when served without meat and placed in in- dividual cocottes or in shells of fried bread. After passing the spinach, ete., through the sieve it is beaten up with @ little butter and cream and liberally seasoned. It should not be boiled more than just enough to cook it ten- der, and then it will keep its/color ‘and flavor. Cucumbers, marrows, turnips, arti- chokes and pumpkins all make deli- cious purees, sweet or savory. Anoth- er delicious puree of small white onions and new potatoes makes a dainty dish, if sufficient cream 1s add- ed, and the mixture {s put into small china dishes and browned on top. ‘The puree destined for serving alone or as an accompaniment to meat must be kept thick, yet smooth; the puree that forms the foundation of @ soup is lengthened out to make ® sufficient quantity by adding to it meat or vegetable stock, and milk or cream, or milk or eggs, etc. The eggs and cream should not be put in until after the puree is cooked and taken from the fre HOME HELPS The furniture will be improved by being wiped off occasionally with a cloth dipped in linseed ofl.

AFRO-AMERICAN GULLINGS Q eo ee ae at | Our readers have already been In- structed and edified by Mre. George F. Shears’ account of the biennial meet- ing of the eye ee Colored Wom- en’s clubs at Wilberforce, O. Miss Zona Gale, her companion, the two, we delleve, making the only white attend- ants, has given her version of the story in Lite and Labor, the organ of the ‘Woman's Trade unions, The extracts from the utterances of those present found in Miss Gale's article are so persuasive and inspiring that we giad- ly lay hold of them for the benefit of Unity readers. The chairman of the “executive board, Mrs. Mary Talbert of Butfalo, among other things, said: “Never in the history of our race “have our women had so great a privi- lege as te granted to us, the privilege to be and to do what we will, to de- velop our highest powers, to improve every opportunity, to satisfy our deep- est longings for educational advant- ages. For the women of our race of 50 years ago were the common burden (Dearers, the common property of the horde, refused the privilege of reading ‘and writing, forbidden to. recognize ‘their own names when they saw them in writing. And yet they were trust- ing in God, “To my mind comes the first Negro ‘club woman, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, who after the Civil war—or rather, I might say, after our new birth —went up and down the Southland to the newly liberated slaves, and urged upon those mothers to start at the fire- side. In a letter dated Greenville, Ga., “March 29, 1870, she’writes:/ "Now is “the time for women to begin to try to ‘lift up their heads'and plant the roots of progress under the hearthstones.’ Today the Negro women all over the country have seen that flower grow, and it is for us to continue to plant. “This is the field. Now what of the ‘cooperation? There can be but one motive in all our work—the spirit of Christian love, the expression of racial ‘brotherhood. What we have done can not be measured only by advance, but by. the deterioration which we have helped to prevent. We know that in every community there are splendid women who Haye not yet seen the necessity of ‘lifting as we climb,’ who have not felt that they could leave their whist tables to do this work, and yet they will tell you that they are in sympathy with what we are try- ing to do. Nobody can be the friend ‘of any class by being the enemy ot "any other class, You can be the friend of one clase only by showing it the ‘Ine along which it can accommodate its work to the best advantage. The “Unes of help are always the lines of ‘this accommodation. I firmly believe “that the more we interest our women ‘of the fayored classes fo work with the “women in humbler lives the better our work will be done—this work of lift {ng an entire Negro manhood and “womanhood into better life, “It behooves us as club women to “see that we urge out ministry to co-op- ‘erate with us, Often ministers have “been particularly antagonistic to this club movement, fearing that it will af- ‘fect the ‘financial support of the church, We sympathize with the feel ing of such ministers, for we know that the average minister does not re- ceive a living salary, much less a working salary. But we must educate them to the fact that the time has come when they, too, must join with us in enlarging the work by these or- ganizations of women's clubs."—Unity.

Jacob Estey, one of the pioneer mak- ers of pianos and organs in America, was born in Hinsdale, N. H., one bun- dred years ago. His youth was one of adversity, and tt was only by the hardegt work and personal sacrifice that he was able to obtain « common school education. At the age of twen- ty-one he bought with his savings an interest in a business for the mak- ing of melodeons. For a number of years thereafter he acted as bis own salesman, traveling through New Eng- land and Canada selling his instru- ments. With the profits thus obtained he ‘me ed in the manufacture of pianos and organs. His business grew rapidly, and at the time of his death, in 1890, it was the largest of its kind athe world, Mr. Estey spent his large fortune Mberally for good pur- poses, He was the chief founder of Shaw university for colored people at Raleigh, N.

RIGHT WHERE SHE BELONGFD Department Store Manager Found No Difficulty in Placing Nice Looking but Stupid Girl. "I am afraid," said the assistant manager of the mammoth metropolitan department store, "the young woman who has just inquired for a let isn't up to our standard." "I thought she seemed like a very nice-looking person," said the manager. "You know it pays to have good-looking people back of the counter. Have you ever considered that point?" "Yes, I have. I agree with you. But she struck me as being extremely stupid. She certainly was not very well educated." "Could she read and write?" "Barely." "Did she have any knowledge of literature?" "Apparently none whatever." The manager's face brightened up. "She's too nice-looking a person to let go by. In that case, why don't you employ her as a saleswoman in our book department?"

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Euphemia, Ohio.—“Because of total ignorance of how to care for myself when verging into womanhood, and from taking cold when going to school, I suffered from a displacement, and each month I had severe pains and nausea which always meant a lay-off from work for two to four days from the time I was 10 years old. “I went to Kansas to live with my sister and while there a doctor told me of the Pinkham remedies but I did not use them then as my faith in patient medicines was limited. After my sister died I came home to Ohio to live and that has been my home for the last 18 years. "The Change of Life came when I was 47 years old and about this time I saw my physical condition plainly described in one of your advertisements. Then I began using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I cannot tell you or any one the relief it gave me in the first three months. It put me right where I need not lay off every month and during the last 18 years I have not paid out two dollars to a doctor, and have been blesst with excellent health for a woman of my age and I can thank Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for it. "Since the Change of Life is over I have been a maternity nurse and being wholly self-supporting I cannot estimate the value of good health. I have now earned a comfortable little home just by sewing and nursing. I have recommended the Compound to many with good results, as it is excellent to take before and after childbirth."—Miss Evelyn ADELIA STEWART, Ephemera, Ohio.

Great Point In Their Favor Is the High Amount of Sugar They Contain—Some Most Valuable Recipes for the Household. With the coming of fall, the housewife is offered another most important food-fruit for her table in grapes, blue, purple, red and white, each kind giving a high amount of food value, refreshment and flavor. The chief qualities of grapes are the high amount of sugar, as will be seen from the following table; also there are present in all grapes varying amounts of potash, lime, magnesia and iron. It is from the grape that we get "cream of tartar" and tartaric acid, which is the base of all good baking powders. Grape Catchup—To each five pints of grapes, allow one pound of sugar, one-half pint of vinegar, and one-half ounce each cinnamon, cloves and malzge. Boil sugar and vinegar 15 minutes together; meantime heat the pulp and skins. Let cool and rub through a colander. Add this to the vinegar and sugar, cooking 20 minutes. Bottle and seal. Grape Jam.—Heat grapes over boiling water until soft, thenimmer gently 30 minutes. Let cool a little and press through colander. Weigh pulp, allowing one and one-eighth pounds sugar for each pound pulp. Cook together, simmering and stirring carefully until it thickens into jam consistency. Then place in small jars. Either ripe or green grapes or half and half may be used, and a little lemon rind may be added with cinnamon and a pinch of cloves or nutmeg. Grape Pudding—Wash, pick and flour grapes before putting them into the batter. One heaping pint of picked grapes makes a fair sized pudding For the batter, heat the yolks of four eggs till thick, then add one cupful of milk, and two cupfuls of flour. Add half a cupful of butter beaten to a cream, one teaspoonful of vanilla extract, the whites of the eggs stiffly beaten, and then the grapes. Boll the pudding three hours and serve with a rich sauce. Jelly Pancakes. Jelly pancakes can be made in a few minutes and require two cupfuls of flour, two cupfuls of sweet milk, one egg, one teaspoonful of baking powder, and a generous pinch of salt. Beat the egg very light, add the milk and lastly, with just enough beating to mix all together, the flour stiffened twice with the salt and baking powder. Pour enough of the batter into a hot buttered pan to cover the bottom. When browned, spread with butter and jelly, roll up and sprinkle with powdered sugar.—Mothers' Magazine. Calf's Head Terrapin. Boil calf's head as for soup until bones fall apart. Remove meat from bones and set aside until perfectly cold. Season with pepper and salt. Add two blades of mace. Chop four hard-boiled eggs and add them to a cupful of the broth in which head has been boiled, together with one cupful of cream, a scant half pound of butter and two tablespoonfuls of browned flour. Let them all simmer thoroughly. Add one half tencupful of sherry and serve. Do not boil after adding sherry. Cracker Pudding. Half pint of pieces of cracker broken, four eggs, three-fourths cupful of sugar, piece of butter size of an egg, salt, plenty raisine) pinch of soda, one half teaspoonful of cinnamon, and same of nutmeg, one quart of milk. Soak crackers in milk about half hour. Bake about an hour in moderate oven. Eat with a plain pudding sauce. Fresh Pork Cake. Take as much fresh perk as you like, remove bone and run the meat through chopper. Season as desired and make into round balls or flat cakes. Put into roasting pan, cut up onions and potatoes, placing these in the pan also. Sprinkle with salt, add a little water and bake until done. Slice cold boiled beets, cut into strips; line a salad bowl with white, crisp lettuce; heap the beets in the center and pour mayonnaise dressing over them just before it goes to the table, or you can pass the dressing with the salad in an ice-cold pitcher or a pretty bowl with a ladle in it.

She was particularly anxious to appear as if accustomed to all the luxuries of life. "Have you purchased your new car this season?" I asked. "No, Mr. Burman, not yet," she said. "I can't make up my mind just which make of car to buy. Maybe you will help me." "What is it that you cannot decide about them?" I asked.

No. 1, Kyles, Ohio.—"My baby's head when about a year old began to break out with small watery pimples causing her head to itch. She would scratch her head till the blood came causing the top of her head to be in almost a solid eruption. The pimples at first were nearly as large as a pea and in patches which would inflame and fester and when they would come open would leave a kind of wet scales there for a few days. Then when it dried up it would leave scales on her head that caused her hair to fall out just in great bunches. "One day I happened to see Cuticura Soap and also Cuticura Ointment advertised in a paper and I ordered a sample of each. They seemed to help her head so much that I purchased a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks' time her head was sound and well. Her hair had stopped falling out and was also free from dandruff." (Signed) Mrs. J. L. West, Feb. 20, 14. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32 p.

MAKE IT A NATIONAL EVENT Educational Movement Against Tuberculosis During the Week of November 29 Arranged For. By sermons, lectures, motion pictures, exhibits and many other methods, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis will enlist thousands of churches, schools and lodges of the country in a simultaneous educational movement against tuberculosis during the week of November 29. The campaign is to be known as the Fifth Annual Tuberculosis Day Movement A special circular entitled: "What is Tuberculosis Day?" has been prepared and is being widely distributed. The plan of Tuberculosis day, as explained in the circular, does not necessarily comprehend a special sermon on tuberculosis on November 29. If a church, school or lodge gives the subject attention in any way during that week, this will help in the national educational movement. Outlines for lectures or sermons on tuberculosis and "stock" talks on the subject will be furnished free to ministers and others who can use them. Literature for distribution in the churches, schools, lodges, and elsewhere will also be given away in large quantities. Persons wishing such literature, either for the preparation of sermons or talks on tuberculosis, or for distribution in public meetings on Tuberculosis day, should get in touch with their local antituberculosis society, or if that is not possible, with the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, 105 East Twenty-second street, New York city. Cause for Doubt. James A. Patten, the noted wheat operator, said to a reporter in New York: "Edward Bok and other dress psychologists declare that this war is going to transfer the fountainhead of women's fashions from France to the United States. Well, on the Finland, on the way back home from the war zone, I noticed a thing or two that made me have my doubts. "For example, I was describing to a group of women on the promenade deck one afternoon the way the Belgians had ruined a road into Liege—a road that blew up afterwards and killed 5,000 Germans. The women all seemed interested in my description and when I finished it I said: "And now are there any questions any of you women would like to ask? "A pretty and well-dressed Baltimore woman said anxiously: "Can you tell us, Mr. Patten, if Paris had got all her fall fashions out before the war came on?" Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets first put up 40 years ago. They regulate and invigorate stomach, liver and bowels. Sugar-coated tiny granules. Adv. Talleyrand's Victory. One hundred years ago the congress of Vienna met for formal organization. Nearly all the monarchs of Europe were assembled to take part in the deliberations, or were represented by their most eminent statesmen. The Porte alone was not represented in this great congress of the nations. It is said that the four great allied powers—England, Austria, Prussia and Russia—had made a secret agreement to exclude France from participation in any of their territorial arrangements. But in this they reckoned without Talleyerand, the great French statesman and diplomatist, who not only insisted that his country be admitted to take part in all the deliberations, but himself became the leading spirit of the whole congress. Way the Dance Changes. Way the Dance Changes. The alliment that brought the waltz and the two-step to their lingering death was monotony. Each had one step, one tempo, and that is not enough. So the dances shriveled up and died from lack of exercise. A few years ago the world entered upon one of its periodical rebellions against artificial conventions, and the people returned to the world-old, semi-forgotten recreation, dancing. The revival of dancing was accompanied by a clamor for variety—Woman's Home Companion. YOUR OWN DRUGGIST WILL TELL YOU Try Murine Eye Remedy for Red, Wear, Watery Byees and Granulated Breeds!

"In the east, of course," said Pat, "And where does it set?" "Why, in the west." "Well, then, how does it manage to get back in the cast again by the morning? Tell me that?"

A prominent minister has the following to say among other things, tho he be in the far East he is concerned in the welfare of the old time faith I hope you nor the brethren who may perchance to see this, will mistake me, when I say You—for I dont mean to intimate that you are alone or that it is a selfish movement of yours whatever, but it is a deserving step and knowing you as I do; I know that you, (C. C. Phillips) would rather confine your energetic activities, and affiliation, with just a small circle of sound Baptist in prayer meeting community, than to have the highest place of honor in an organization as big as two states like Illinois, of Mongrel Baptist, May God bless you and the brethren, dont regret your fight one bit, "But glory in the Cross since you know it is the doctrinal principle, for which you are contending." Amen, we thank the brother for his encouraging remarks. We forbear to give the writer's name, as we havent his consent, tho we feel it would be alright with him, but modesty forbids us to rush headlong into cold print with the name of any one in a case of this kind without their knowledge. It is however gratifying to know that all of the true Baptist in the state glory in the move. The move and motive is to to harm no one but to advance the cause of "The Redeemer's Kingdom," and with God to help us we shall come out more than conqueres. It is said by some of the brethren that C. C. Phillips, wanted to be President is why he is so active in the new organization, this we deny, or to give attention to a thing that everyone knows to be false, is but to give prominence, or dignify an untruth It no news when we assert that so far as official recognition, is concerned, the brethren have always given us a place and too, without our solicitation. In the Chicago Convention, we refused to be elected to an office of any kind, and the brethren that are misrepresenting us must beat testimony to what we are saying respecting the matter. We said on the floor of the the Convention that the Baptist being misrepresented, instead of being represented. We quit the convention for good, and our own Dr. Fisher said to us in a letter, 'Dr Phillips you cannot afford Livingston Institute Second Session Opens Monday This school is well graded Department.

We have this to say of Dr. Fisher, he has always been clever to us, in a personal way, and for this we admire him, for all he has ever said or done. But the doctrine of the Lord, Jesus Christ, is dear to our heart. We learned that he sent a reply to editor McCray of Metropolis respecting the circular letter, sent out by the Association of which he makes us responsible, we are proud of this unintended honor he has conferred upon us. We asked editor Mc, why he failed to publish Dr. Fisher's article, he informed us that he had either mislaid it in the office or lost it, and that he had advised Dr. Fisher to duplicate the article and he would publish it. We are anxious for him to set himself right before the public, if he has been misrepresented in that letter, we will humbly confess to any part of it that he thinks we are connected, and as far as we are able for the wnole letter. Yes we will confess, and beg pardon thru the columns of any paper that the Dr. desires, we cannot think for one moment, wherein the Dr. can feel that he has been mis-represented, but we will content ourselves with watchful waiting.
