LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY Memoriam 1920 MRS. SARAH JANE ROBINSON. Metropolis, Ill. In sad but loving memory of our dear- ly beloved mother, who died one year ago to-day Nov. 25, 1913. Although your hands we cannot clasp, Your face we cannot see, O death let this little token tell, That we remember thee. Dearest mother we have laid thee. In the peaceful grave's embrace; But thy memory will be cherished, Till we see thy heavenly face. Gone but not forgotten Her sons and daughter, LOU ELLA YOUNG, 3556 Forest Ave., Chicago Ill. Dear Friend: I am writing to let you know that death has again visited our family and taken my dear old Grand Mother. She passed away very suddenly this morning at 8:30. She was only sick about 10 minutes, was up at church and viting Sunday and laughing and talking as usual, so it was quite a shook to us all. She was 84 years old and we all thank God for sparing her to us these many years. The rest of the family is very well. Regards to all. Resptfully, Maude Jenkins, Box 121 R. 1 Clayton Mo. CHICAGO. I take this method to speak to the brethren of the General Missionary Baptist Association of the State of Illinois of the said association. I hear her praises sang from Cairo to Chicago, and from Danville, to Quincy. God is in the move and why do we say so? Because the entire State of Illinois is becoming inspired and is pointing to that grand organization which took place in Mt. Vernon, in October, and what it stands for and are shouting at the top of their in the language of the old poet, "Hold the Fort, for I am coming Jesus signal still; we'll wave the answer back to Heaven, by thy grace we will. Now as your corresponding secretary, speaking for our Baptist State Association we are not spiteful nor rendering evil to no man, nor set of men, but as said, our moderator's text we are earnestly contending for the faith (first) once delivered to the saints and by this righteous contention our enemies are believing and trembling. To let you know that they are believing Dr. E. J. Fisher, called his state Ex. Board at the Olivet church today (13.) to know of them what steps to take concerning this new organization and whether they would stand by him. Now to let you know that they are trembling, Rev. J. F. Thomas, our moderator, Rev. Williams and the writer were in attendance at this Board meeting and was invited out of the meeting, hence they are trembling. Certainly Pe-do Baptist do not want Baptist sitting around them when they are caucassing to overthrow principles. However we left and I would not disturb them at that time with an invitation, but I take the liberty to invite them to our General Missionary Baptist Association of the State of Illinois which convenes in Centralia, in May 1915, and they may have a standing invitation to all of our Board meetings of the State Association, since we are not trixters nor doing nothing in secret. We welcome them to see and hear us, that their association with us may beget to them (our likeness) similarity. We have been here with our Dr. Thomas, since the 10th inst and if no changes, will be with him till the 22d inst. Will write the results of our meeting later. I am asking the brethren to please send in the $100 pledged at the association which was to be sent in within 30 days after the adjournment. I have heard from the Green Valley church through Dr. Knowles. The Lord bless the work. Brethren, pray for us, Under God we will not betray the trust you have imposed in us. Yours in His name, W. P.

OBJECTION PLACED ON AGE But Young Lady's Idea Was Altoyether Different From What Corporal Had Feared. “What pensions, what millions and billions in pensions, this horrible war is going to entail,”.said Major Pitzger- ald of Boston, He added: “And some of these pensions will go on longer than they should, because some of the pensioners in their old age will marry young girls—for an old pensioner makes a good parti, since ‘his pension, you know, falls on his death to his widow. “I heard the other day about an old Civil war pensioner who proposed to tho hired girl next door, a very pretty girl of twenty or so. But she refused him. “‘Perhaps, he stammered then, stroking in bis embarrassment his Jong and snow-white beard, ‘perhaps I am too old” “No, sald the pretty hired girl calmly; ‘no, corporal, you're too young.” Accuracy First.

Preparing for: Eventualities: Shortly after the declaration of war in Germany, the cashier of the largest ‘bank in Berlin received from a strang: er the following letter, postmarked Dresden: “Dear Sir: A few weeks ago, while in Berlin on my vacation, I found my: self temporarily in need of money and pawned my diamond ring. I enclose the pawn ticket to you, asking that you redeem the ring, sell st for what you can and turn the proceeds over to the Red Cross fund.

Washington, in a letter to thé Negro people, makes these timely suggestions: “There are 1,400,000 colored famil- tes who live on farms.or in villages, or small towns. Of this number, at the present time, 700,000 have to Pigs. I want to ask that each family raise at least one pig this fall. Where one or more pigs are already owned, I want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall. “Ag soon as possible, 1 want to ask that this plan be followed by the or ganization of a pig club in every com- munity where one does not already exist. I want to ask that the matter be taken up at once through famil- jes, schools, churches and socteties, farmers’ institutés, business leagues, ete. “The average pig is valued at about five dollars. If each family adds only one pig, in a few months at the pres- ent prices for hogs, $10 would be add: ed to the wealth of the owner, and $14,000,000 to the wealth of the col- red people. If each family adds two pigs, it would have in a few months $20. more wealth, and $28,000,000 would be added with which to pro- mote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European war.” The “pig club” idea is one that the Negroes of the South should embrace. At this time all farmers of the South are discussing the problem which an enforced reduction of the cotton area has precipitated, and it 1s generally agreed that hogs and the feed crops necessary to maintain them will be the most profitable substitute for cot ton. There is no doubt that the white farmers will as far as possible pay more attention to hogs hereafter than they ever have before, and the Negro farmers are just as much inter ested in the hog question as others The Negro farmers have made much progress during the past quar ter of a century, but they have usual ly suffered from the same cayses which have impoverished the white farmers, the chief of which fs the fail ure to raise on the farm what is con sumed at the farm tabie’’ Out of the Present dilemma the South ought t¢ eoeeeze the greatest meat-producing region of the world, and this ob jective will certainly be reached it th 1,400,000 Negro. families take Wash ington’s advice and organize pig club: in every village and farm community | "The South will have all her:ggricul tural problems pretty well settle when the southérn farmers “live’ a’ home.” It will be the mont prosper ous region of the United States, an "we shall soon see the end of the ten ant system, the credit system and al the old systems which have kept s many thousands impoverished —Hous ton Post, ' Mrs..C.

Olive Wyndham the Principal in Drama "Your Girl and Mine," Backed by National American Woman Suffrage Association. A gigantic eight-reel "movie" showing man as a natural villain, if not a deep-dyed one, is to be used by suffragists to present arguments in favor of votes for women. "Your Girl and Mine" is the title of the scenario, which the promoters declare is a melodrama and thriller not seen since the days when Theodore Kramer staged heart-failure slides for life that held the galleries tense for hours. The National American Woman Suffrage association has staged the thriller. The production will be under the C. Olive Wyndham. auspices of Mrs. Medill McCormick as chairman of the congressional committee of the N. A. W. S. A. The films will be sent into every state in the Union. The plot of the scenario is based on a wife's troubles due to the conflict of man-made laws with woman's interests. It will bring out the argument that women are fighting for the ballot because their economic and social interest demands that they share in government, and not merely because they want to vote for the sake of voting. Principal parts will be played by Miss Olive Wyndham, Miss Katherine Kaeired, Sidney Booth and John Charles. The campaign committee under whose auspices the play is to appear includes Mrs. McCormick, Miss Jane Addams and Mrs. Antonette Funk of Chicago, Mrs. Sherman Botoh of Glencoe, Mrs. Mary C. Bradford, Denver; Mrs. Helen Gardener of Washington. Mrs. Desha Breckinridge of Lexington, Ky.; Mrs. John Tucker, San Francisco, and Mrs. Edward Dreeter of Brooklyn. King Baggot in Rural Drama. "The Silent Valley" a two-reel feature recently released, and featuring King Baggot in a role ultra-rural, proved such a success and so diverting that the company has decided to release several other film dramas, disclosing Mr. Baggot in the rough and ready. "The Mill Stream," a two-reel feature, will be the next along this line. Most of the sit-tings for it were laid at Smithtown, Long Island, where Mr. Baggot, with his company, has been motoring every sunny day. It is a gripping drama of the elemental, showing this actor in a role of original qualities. Charles Lessey is the director of the piece. Educational Feature in Film. "The Locked Door," a coming feature, will have points of interest to municipalities, being a picture, that brings out the violations of fire laws and suggesting a remedy. Vitagraph players assume the principal characters, but are supplemented by representatives from the fire and police departments of Greater New York, among them several of the officials. The script was written by Special Fire Investigator William B. Northrup. Grace-Cunard Has Double Role. Francie Ford and Grace Cunard will be seen in a two-reeler, entitled "The Ghost of Smiling Jim," in which Ford will take the part of Smiling Jim and Grace Cunard that of his daughter, while Harry Schumm will be the heavy for a change. In addition to being the girl, Grace Cunard will be seen earlier in the picture as the mother who dies. Stella Razeto in Star Part. Edward J. Le Salant, the Selig producer, is putting on "Ashes of Gold" with Stella Razeto in the part of a young girl who loses her mind and is finally brought back to reason by her lover in a novel manner. Miss Razeto is supported by Guy Oliver, Jack Macdonald and others. WITH THE SAVOR OF THE SEA Moving Picture Drama, "When His Ship Came In," Has Scored a Deserved Success. Featuring two of the stars of their studio, Bessie Eyton and Thomas Santschi, the Selig company has just put on a drama which has "caught on" wherever shown. Briefly the story is as follows: Neptuna, a vivacious, beautiful girl, lives in the fishing village of Home-Port with her aged grandfather, old Captain Melody. She hates the sordid life of poverty and petulantly declares that she will leave the village if opportunity presents itself, and try her fortunes in the neighboring big city. A Josh Rawlins is a sailor on board the schooner, "Maid of the Mist," owned by his uncle, a crabbed old sea captain. He is repulsed by Neptuna, his sweetheart, who has developed a peevish disposition since he went away. She tells him she is sick and tired of life in the fishing is sick and tired of Bessie Eyton. life in the fishing village, but that she will marry him only if he has money. A short time after this Neptuna, while strolling on the beach, discovers a discarded vest washed up by the waves. In it is a $5.00 bill. Hastening to the house she steals silently in, writes a brief note of farewell to Josh and makes her way swiftly to the railroad station. When Josh discovers the note and reads it, he finds that she has directed him not to seek for her "until your ship comes in." Neptuna finds work in a laundry, but her inexperience and lack of skill soon cause her to lose her position. Out of employment and without friends, Neptuna wanders instinctively to the wharfs where she discovers the schooner "Maid of the Mist" all ready to sail. She steals aboard and conceals herself. Alarmed by a smell of smoke from the hold where the gunpowder is stored, the sailors embark hastily in two small boats and row rapidly away from the vessel, as they expect her to blow up at any moment A. Neptuna is almost overcome by the smoke, but her good fortune has not forsaken her. The schooner having broached to, and with all sails set because of no hand at the wheel, is overwhelmed by an enormous wave which bursts through the open hatches and puts out the fire. Neptuna brings the schooner upon her course toward Home-Post and remains at the helm for twenty-four hours. She is sighted from the shore by Josh and her grandfather who immediately put out in a boat to meet the vessel. They find Neptuna unconscious at her post of duty, but she is easily revived. She brought Josh's ship in herself and thereby furnished her own wedding dowry. Thus were the lovers happily reunited. While spending a week end with relatives at Lake Hopatcong recently, Miss Nesbitt, leading woman, was given a royal reception by many of the natives and vacationists. When it was ascertained that Miss Nesbitt would visit Hopatcong for a brief holiday plans were at once formulated for a reception and dance to be given at one of the principal hotels in her honor. Upon her arrival at the lake, Miss Nesbitt unreluctantly accepted an invitation to attend the dance. Not anticipating any celebration or demonstration, she was astounded when her screen admirers collected in the gayy decorated ballroom and showered her with congratulations for the delightful characterizations she has displayed in the films. Production Should Make Hit. Production Should Make HIT Ed J. Le Saint, the Selig producer, is putting on a particularly pleasing one reeler entitled "One Traveler Returns," in which Stella Razeto takes the part of a minister's daughter, a delightful character. The plot hinges around a young man who marries a parson's daughter and who has previously had dealings with another woman. The manner in which the latter plans revenge and how her spirit prevents the consummation is novel and absorbing. Lamar Johnstone plays the lead, Jack Macdonald an old lawyer, and Adda Gleason the other woman. Star Is Children's Favorite. Edna Maison of the Universal company, who is such a favorite with children, has two big dolls and a Teddy bear hanging in her room They are now entirely new and Edna is a big girl for dolls now, but they were all presented to her by small girls who were happy in the giving. The little girl who presented the Teddy bear drops in occasionally and says: "May I borrow your Teddy bear to play with?" METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS.

DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES That an organized attempt has been made to blacken the reputation of the popular family remedies of this country, and to mislead the newspaper publishers into rejecting the advertising of such medicines, was the charge made by Carl J. Balllett, of Buffalo, N. Y., at the convention of the Advertising Affiliation at Detroit. Mr. Balllett is a director of the Proprietary Association of America, which includes in its membership two hundred firms which make the popular prepared medicines of America. Mr. Balllett pointed out that it is the duty of the newspaper publisher to refuse the advertising of any fake or fraudulent medicine, just as it is his duty to refuse any fake or fraudulent advertising, but it is not right to shut down on all medical advertising because there have been some fakers, any more than it would be right to refuse to publish all department store advertising because certain stores have made a practice of lying about bargain sales. Disease and death are mysteries. People who are perfectly well are skeptical. They laugh at the time-worn patent medicine joke, just as they laugh again and again over the many variations of the operation joke "The operation was a success but the patient died." This so-called humor has perhaps hurt the medicine business with well people, but when the hitherto healthy man feels a severe pain or illness, he immediately wants medicine, and will bless the cure whether it be at the hands of a regular doctor, a homeopath, an osteopath, a Christian Scientist or patent medicine. There is nothing more deadly than disease; nothing more honorable than to cure it. Mr. Balllett refuted the idea sought to be spread about that patent medicines are unpopular by showing that from 1900 to 1912 the amount of prepared medicines consumed in America increased from $100,000,000 to $180,000,000 annually. He showed that, although the American Medical Association is trying as an organization to exterminate so-called patent medicines, the family doctor, individually, is not fighting them but prescribing them. He estimated that 40% of the prescriptions written by doctors today include proprietary medicines. The writings of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, he said, have also aimed to destroy confidence in proprietary medicines; but that Dr. Wiley's ideas are not infallible is shown by cases where his analyses were entirely wrong. Mr. Balllett mentioned a case where, with all the power of the Government, he fought a preparation as being dangerous to health, and was ingloriously walloped. There has been spread the idea that a clever faker can mix a few useless ingredients and, by smart advertising, sell tons of it and win sudden wealth; whereas, as a matter of fact, the medicine business is notoriously difficult, and, where there has been one success at it, there have been a hundred failures. Any medicine which has no merit cannot live, because persons who are duped into buying it once will not buy it again, and the profit from advertising a medicine can only come from repeat sales to the same, satisfied people. Therefore, any medicine which has been on the market for a number of years, and is still advertised, must have merit behind it to account for its success. In conclusion Mr. Balllett declared that no newspaper is doing justice to its readers in the matter of medical or other advertising, unless it investigates, not only the wording of the advertisement offered for publication, but the merits of the article advertised. He pointed out that the few newspapers who have been deluded into the policy of barring out medical advertising have adopted this general policy, rather than to form an investigation bureau of this kind which could, in a constructive and useful effort, investigate and decide what is a good product and what is a fraud, in not only the medicine business, but in every other business which advertises its wares to the public. The audience seemed to agree with Mr. Balllett's ideas on the subject and the chairman decided the question at issue in his favor. William the Modest. "The German emperor," said Kurt Kiegler, German consul to Denver, "is not at all the conceited, vain-glorious character his enemies make him out to be. He is, on the contrary, as modest as he is intelligent. "They keynote of his character was given in 1912 in a speech that he made to his beloved Brandenburg regiment. "No general,' he said, in this speech, "is a hero to his valet, nor to himself, either, unless he is a fool."" Unnerved Completely. "Beef eaters usually have steady nerves, do they not?" "I've always thought so, until fear of a Zeppelin raid doused the lights of London." It takes a lot of confidence to enable a man to enjoy hash. It takes a capable wife to yank the sonceit out of a man. Put That Pain to Use "When Your Back is Lame-Remember the Name" DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS The network of nerves in your body, like the network of wires in a burglar alarm system, gives quick warning when anything is going wrong inside. Looking at it in this way a pain is a useful alarm. Now, kidney weakness is a dangerous thing—a condition not to be neglected—and it is wise to know and pay attention to the early alarm signals of sick kidneys. Backache is a common warning of congestion or inflammation in the kidneys. It may be dull, nagging pain, or a sharp twinge when stooping or lifting. There are likely to be disorders of urination, dizziness, headaches, and drowsy, dependent, tired feelings. It is very hard to strengthen weak kidneys at first, but neglect invites rheumatic or neuralgic attacks, gravel, dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease. As a special medicine for weak kidneys Doan's Kidney Pills have been used for years all over the civilized world, and surely are considered reliable. The patient can always help the medicine immensely, however, by dieting lightly, using little or no liquor, tea or coffee, keeping regular hours and drinking lots of pure water.

The wars of Napoleon in 13 years cost France $1,000,000,000, writes Wendell Phillips Dodge in Leslie's. Our Civil war expenditure of the federal government was $3,400,000,000, nearly thirteen times as much a year as Napoleon's. The Franco-German war cost France $1,580,000,000, besides an added war indemnity of $1,000,000,000. This same great war, which lasted only 190 days, cost Germany $450,000,000 for an average fighting force of 1,250,000 men. The other big European war of the past half century, the Russo-Turkish war, cost Russia $788,100,000, but she had two years' fighting for her money. The war in the far east cost Japan $650,000,000 and Russia $723,000,000, not counting lost ships. Only toward the end had either side anything like a million men in the field. Italy's little war with Turkey cost $400,000 a day, allowing for a mere 60,000 fighting men, and the Boer war, in which England's army averaged 200,000, cost $1,055,000 in two and a half years. Mighty Handy. Some negroes are insatiable "jiners," and their favorite organizations are those which assure an ostentatious funeral. A mistress was remonstrating with her servant about belonging to one of them. "Bonnibel, don't you think it is mighty foolish to pay the 'Friends and True Mourners' society' twenty-five cents every month?" "Naw'm, Miss May, I don't.

The justice of the peace in a town in Ohio, in pursuance of his duties, had to hear and judge cases that were brought before him and also to perform occasional marriage ceremonies. He found it difficult to dissociate the various functions of his office. Everything had gone smoothly until he asked one bride: "Do you take this man to be your husband?" The bride nodded emphatically. "And you, accused," said the justice, turning to the bridegroom, "what have you to say in your defense?"

Sprague, Du Bols, Ill., says: "I have never found anything equal to Donna's Kidney Pills in caring kidney ailments and I recommend them wherever I go. Two years ago I had a bad case of kidney complaint and I suffered awfully from rheumatic pains. For a long time my condition was so bad that I was helpless and I couldn't feed myself. The last cold I caught settled on my kidneys, causing a heavy, dull ache in the small of my back which made me miserable day and night. The kidney secretions were highly colored and contained sediment that had been trapped in my irregular and too frequent, also. When I heard of Donna's Kidney Pills I began taking them as directed and got relief from the first. Two boxes entirely cured me and I haven't had a sign of kidney trouble since.
