Metropolis Weekly Gazette

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE you are nursed and cared for until you die in a Masonic and Eastern Star Home. Paul argues in I. Cor. 13, chapter that charity never fails. Is it too late to rectify this oversight of ours? What about the recently organized Y. M. C. A., in its embryonic state taking up this matter? What say you Brother President? More to say next week if expedient. Mr Editor: Please allow me space in your paper to say a few words about our church Rev, J. H. Hilly is our pastor, and he is doing all he can for us. We as members, don't think that Mr. Levi Thompson, who called himself the Missionary had any right to say what he has said about our church and and our pastor. If that is the kind of missionary on the Field, we don't need them at all. Our church is in better condition at this time than it has ever been and with God to help us we are going on. At this time we have six clubs and they are doing all they can for the church and this is why we can't see how Mr. Thompson has authority to say what he did about us. All of the members did what they could for him while he was here. A missionary I think should be a man for peace and not try to make trouble in the church. You can go to any church and can always find some members who are ready to make trouble and if we are going to have a man going around as missionary and helping to make trouble We will always have an uproar in our church and we don't need Mr. Thompson for our missionary We have recarried Rev. J. H. Knowles, for our missionary and we hope that Mr. Thompson will not come to Murphsboro, any more as missionary. We are doing all we can to take care of the Association and will take care of it, so Mr. Thomson need not let his heart be trouble. We are young yet and can't do everything in one day. Please allow me to say thru the columnas of your paper that our church and S. S. is is getting along nicely. Rev. J. H. Hilly is our pastor and we had a grand rally on Saturday and we are going all we can to help in raising money and with the Lord to be pus we are going on. We have fine sermons preached to us. I am glad of the privilege to speak through the columns of your worthy paper. Our S. S. opened at 9:30 a.m. by the Supt J. M. Hayns, all of the teachers being present. The lesson was reviewed by the 6 S Missionary M. C. Wrice. At 11:00 our pastor ascended the rostrum and delivered a powerful discourse, text Gal. 5:6 subject, Love and Faith. At 8:00 our pastor prached The Christ Religion Slim Among Negroes in Metropolis. From the viewpoint of the editor of The Gazette, the Christ Religion, in Metropolis, among Negroes is quite slim and will not come up to the stand-ard of the Bible way of teaching as illustrated by Jesus, in some of his parables put forth, also in actual life upon the earth while in contact with men, nor does it come up to the teachings of St. John the evangelist, St. James and Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ. First, take the parable of the good Samaritan, illustrated by Jesus himself Luke 10:30-38; as portrayed by Paul in L. Cor. 18:13 inclusive; James 1:22-27; II. 1-26; I. John 3:11-18. Having laid the foundation for our argument, we come back to the subject that the Christ Religion is is slim or at a low state in Metropolis, among the Negro Christians or church goers according to the Bible way of teaching. Now, this includes the editor, we are not trying to shield ourself from the grave responsibility resting upon us as ministers and laymen. Perhaps all are not guilty to the same degree, some sin by commission and others by omission, and yet, it is all sin in the sight of the light given by Jesus Christ—which is Love for our fellowman. What gave rise to this article, is this, editors as you know are generally apprised of all short comings of a community, most especially if you are a preacher of the gospel. Critics as a rule love to point out the said minister the defects in the membership, therefore among the many things put up to us recently, is the information that Bro. Ellis Young, who is without relatives in this city, perhaps anywhere save a wife who is the daughter of Bro. Taylor Stalls, of this city with whom he stopped but his helpless and Lazarus condition made necessary that Stalls, transfer him to some other place in that condition he was transferred to the County Poor Farm to suffer and die without attention of any one possibly, except an inmate who we are informed is almost helpless who gets around only by the assistance of crutches. What a shame and a pity in a civilized community! The question has been put to me by some our some of our sympathetic sisters who express themselves willing to solicit aid for her and wife if the men will find a room or tent, and at the same time some are asking us if that is religion, he (Young), being a member of the First Baptist church of this city. I'll confess up on my part and say, no, a thousand times no, if these things are facts. We are going to put the same question to you reader, minister and laymen. Is it right? Does it come within the bounds of the Christ Religion mentioned previously as found in the passages of scriptures cited in this article? If not what are you going to do about it? You may say, that the wife and family into which he had married should have taken care of him and not to have allowed him to have been taken to the County farm, that may be true, I am not trying to argue that part of the question, but that does not remove the obligations placed upon us as Christians. Another may say that he was not financial in the church. Others may say that he should have taken care of his money, so as to have had one to care for him, that is true again friend, but Jesus said, the poor ye have with you always, as to that argument just read I. John 3:17, 18 vs.. The churches are not up to the stand ard of Secret Societies in Christian benevolence, notwithstanding the abuse and criticism some ministers, see fit on some occasions to measure out in unbroken doses to members of societies. We have several societies in Metropolis, among them are Masons, Odd Fellow, Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor, the eastern Star and Ruth, and not one of these orders would have allowed one of their members to have been sent to the Poor House, while we who claim to be followers of the lowly Nuzarene sit supinely down, and because a poor unfortunate man has failed to say up something for a "rainy day," which is a hard proposition these good old Democratic days, allow him to suffer. You say, yes but they must keep up their dues in a lodge but dont pay church dues. That is true perhaps in many cases that is true, but I belong to two orders, you may be in arrears six months before you are cut off, and not then if misfortune has overtaken you in the mean time, but Mrs. C.

ABANDONS PARTY PRINCIPLE Illinois Colonel Tella Indiana Lincoln League Wilson Administration Ignored and Abolished Tariff Commission Which It Now Recommends. Terre Haute, Ind., Feb. 12.—In an address this afternoon before the annual convention of the Lincoln Leagues of Indiana, Col. Frank O. Lowden of Oregon, Ill., practically opened the Indiana state campaign. Colonel Lowden discussed particularly President Wilson's seeming abandonment of Democratic policies and his espousal of a tariff commission, which he would not recognize three years ago. After referring briefly to the organization of the party, of which William Roscoe Thayer, the historian, said, "Its principles had the compulsion of religion; and rightly so, because they aimed at carrying out in the sphere of public life the behests of private conscience," Colonel Lowden said: "Mark you, that we announce a principle simple, clear, uniform in its application, and upon this principle all Republicans agree, whether they followed the banner of Roosevelt or the banner of Taft in 1912. Our Democratic friends, however, still profess to believe in a tariff for revenue only. They say that if you collect a duty upon an import, such duty is added to the price, and the consumer is therefore taxed for the benefit of someone else. They also say that you not only raise the price upon the thing that is imported to the extent of the duty, but also upon all the similar things made in this country which come into competition with the imported article. The theory, therefore, of the tariff for revenue is that you should levy import duties only upon the things which are not produced here. Democrats Abandon Principle. Thus there are two principles upon which a tariff upon imports can be levied: The one the protective principle, as I announced before, and the tariff for revenue principle which I have just defined. It is true that the Democratic party, though repudiating the protective principle, has never dared to frame a tariff in accordance with its own. Take the last tariff bill, for instance: They did not pretend to follow their principle. They retained duties of some extent upon the large majority of articles produced in this country. Such duties, therefore, do afford some protection. They, therefore, violate their own principle, while the measure of protection they offer is wholly inadequate. I say that a protective tariff is robbery, and then instead of abolishing it, they reduce it 25 or 50 per cent. If it is unconstitutional, as they assert, to levy a 50 per cent protective tariff, it is equally unconstitutional to levy a 25 per cent protective tariff. When, therefore, the Democratic party comes to making a tariff, it proceeds without principle. They dare not follow their own, and they will not follow ours. The result is it fails both as to revenue and is sectional. Whenever, for instance, in the last bill they came to a product which was peculiarly a southern product, the need of revenue loomed big in the minds of they levied a substantial duty. Wool, which is largely a northern product, was put on the free list, but when it came to the hair of the Angora goat, produced almost exclusively in the South, the Democratic mind suddenly aroused itself to the need of revenue and a duty was fixed upon the importation of the goat's fleece. Wheat, a northern product, was put on the free list, while rice, produced only in the South, was protected. A substantial duty was imposed upon peanut oil for the first time. I believe, in the history of the country, peanut oil being exclusively a southern product. So all through the list, wherever possible, the South was preferred to the North. And I do not intend this as a personal criticism of southern Democrats, for if we Republicans had no principle by which to be guided in fixing the duties, we would very likely favor the North as against the South. What I am insisting upon is that we, and we alone, do have a distinct and definite and practical measure of protection applicable all to all industries and to all sections. Cost Determines Tariff. "Many people think that the only difference between the Republican policy and the Democratic policy is that one contemplates high duties and the other low duties. This is an error. The duty we favor, upon articles which we produce or are capable of producing at home in sufficient quantities to supply our own needs, may be either low or moderate or high. That depends entirely upon one thing—the difference in cost of production here and elsewhere. As a matter of fact, some of the duties in the Underwood law are higher than corresponding duties in the Payne law. The difference is that when we levy a higher duty, such duty is in the interest of our own producers and our own workman, so that they may live in competition with the balance of the world. When the Demoerats levy a higher duty than we, it is alleged to be for the sake of revenue and benefits no American producer or workingman in the slightest degree. It is true that some years ago the Democratic party, realizing that it was impossible in practice to construct a tariff law for the people would stand, upon the tariff for revenue principle alone, invented a new phrase and called it 'tariff for revenue, with incidental protection.' But it was soon seen that this was a contradiction in terms and the Demoerats abandoned the phrase. "The Republican party believes in a nonpartisan tariff commission. Indeed, the very last tariff law enacted by the Republican party created a board of tariff experts charged with the duty of ascertaining the difference between the cost of production of durable articles at home and abroad. But when the Democratic party came into power it abolished this board. And why should it not have abolished the board? Please tell me what a tariff commission could do towards framing a Democratic tariff. And what use for anybody to ascertain the difference in cost of production in this country and abroad if, when you have ascertained such difference of cost, you are not going to make any use of it? If the theory of tariff for revenue upon which they stand is sound, we do not need a tariff commission at all, because it does not take an expert to make a list of the things not produced in this country. Favors a Tariff Commission. Favors a Tariff Commission. "Upon the other hand, in my opinion a tariff commission, nonpartisan if you please, has become an indispensable part of tariff-making machinery if we are to have a protective tariff. The business of production has become more and more complex and difficult. The evidence taken by the committee on ways and means of the house of representatives must consist largely of testimony of producers and importers, both interested parties, the producer to have the duty as high as possible and the importer to have it as low as possible. Congress cannot itself therefore arrive with any degree of accuracy at the difference in cost of production here and abroad; hence the need of a permanent commission to ascertain this fact. This is exactly what was done by the board of tariff experts appointed by President Taft; the bills, based upon the reports of this board, which were afterwards introduced upon some of the schedules as substitutes for some of the Underwood schedules were the most scientific schedules ever offered in congress. Must Determine Principle. "While, however, I believe in a tariff commission as I have just defined it, I think that for the present the idea which some of our friends seem to have—that it is possible to appoint a nonpartisan tariff commission which will take the tariff out of politics—is an 'iridescent dream.' Somebody has got to determine the principle upon which the commission shall proceed. If the principle is to be tariff for revenue only and that principle is once settled upon, the members of the commission can proceed intelligently upon that principle without reference to whether they agree among themselves upon it or not. If the principle to be followed is the protective principle, then the commission, just as the Taft board did, composed partly of Republicans and partly of Democrats, can proceed in accordance with the protective principle to ascertain the difference in cost of production at home and abroad. If, however, no principle is established and you appoint a board some of the members of which believe in a tariff for revenue only and others in a protective tariff, what under the sun will they be able to do? If a majority of them believe in a tariff for revenue you will have a tariff for revenue, and if a majority of them believe in a protective tariff, you will have a protective tariff. How, therefore, have you taken the question out of politics by relegating the whole subject to a commission, unless you have first established the principle upon which that commission is to proceed? And who can establish the principle except the people themselves, and how can they act except through the congress of the States? I believe strongly in a tariff commission such as I have described before, but I am not deluding myself with any rhyme.

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS BOTHER AND USE SALTS ‘Take a Glass of Salts Before Break: fast If Your Back Is Hurting or Bladder Is Irritated. If you must have your meat every day, cat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted author. ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid. neys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue fs coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, ‘obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. ‘To neutralize these irritating acids, ‘to cleanse the kidneys and flush of ‘the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar macy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then ‘act fine, This famous salts is made from the acids of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and has Deen used for generations to flush and stimulate slugzish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it nc longer {rritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Among the differences that set apart the Negro race as a peculiar people, none {s more significant than the fact that he fs insistently adjured to look to the future. Other men may rejoice not only in the present, but also in the past. But if the Negro recalls the past, this is merely to enable him to measure his progress away from it. If he thinks of the present, it is as a basis for the radiant time that is to come. No doubt may ever cross his mind as to whether the present is a8 noble as some parts of the past. His past is happily dead. There is noth- ing in it he would perpetuate. His duty and his pleasure are to travel as fast and as far from it as he may. His own feeling about it has been en- forced from the first day of freedom by those of more fortunate races who have shown an interest in him. Why then, asks the New York Eve- ning Post, should the new year be signalized by the appearance of a magazine bearing the title, The Jour- nal of Negro History? How can there be such a thing as history for a race which {s just beginning to live? For the Journal does not juggle the words; by “history” it means history and not current events. The answer is to be found within its pages. The opening article, “The Negros of Cin- cinnati Prior to the Civil War,” is a reminder that slavery did not cover all the country. Undaunted by per- sistent opposition, writes Doctor Woodson, “the Negroes of Cincinnati achieved so much during the years hetween 1835 and 1840 that they de- served to be ranked among the most progressive people of the world.” Still, 1835 and 1840 are not very far back in the past, as other races meas- ure time, By “history” most people mean ancient history. What has the Negro to look back to in that sort of past that he would not prefer to tg- nore? Well, in an article on “The Passing Tradition and the African Civilization,” Monroe N. Work pre- sents little-regarded developments in the Dark Continent a thousand years ago which show that the black man need not despise the rock whence he was hewn, “Not all black men every- where throughout the ages have been hewers of wood and drawers of water. On the contrary, through long periods of time there were powerful black na- tions which have left the records of their achievements and of which we are just now beginning to learn a lit- tle.” More impressive than these shad- owy records are literary productions of which neither the Negro nor his better-educated white brother is often aware. ‘These are the most interest- ing and impressive things in the inl- tial number of the Journal, as to the Negro they should be the most in- spiring. Here is one passage: “That the Americans after consider- ing the subject in this light—after ‘making the most manly of all possible exertions in defense of liberty—after ‘publishing to the world the principle ‘upon which they contended, viz: “That all men are by nature and of right ought to be free,’ should still re- tain in subjection a numerous tribe of the human race merely for their own private use and emolument, is, of all things, the strongest inconsistency, the deepest reflection on our conduct, and the most abandoned apostacy that ever took place, since the Al mighty fiat spoke into existence this habitable world.” How many white men have argued Says the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph: “To set up that thé South can get along without the Negro is ridiculous, and this being true, not a county should be allowed to shirk its share of the problem bythe. simple expedient of shoving it off bodily into the next one.” Suppose. that, by some magl clan's want, the Negro could be re- moved from the South. Instead of benefiting that section, the action would plunge it into bankruptey. The African element is our farm la- bor—all we have and all we ever will have. If it is incompetent, that is’ reagon for improving it, not or: dis- pensing with it. The trained Negro. “is q more efficient instriément than the untrained white man"—and it is because the latter instinctively senses dangerous competition that he moves for banishment of the black: Empress Sadako of Jupan “is the mother of four sons, one having been born.to heron December 2. ‘The other children are Hiohito Michinomiva, the crown prinee, born in 1901; Yasuhito Atsunomoya,.born in 1902, and Nobu- hito-Terunomlya, born in 1905, According to the United States pub- He health service, a new disinfectant, derived from pine oll, a by-product in the manufacture of. turpentine,’ pos- sesses qualities superior to ordinary disinfectants,. being sore than four times as powerful as carbolic a¢id Zor disinfecting purposes, yet nontoxic and without harmful effects when ft comes in contact with delicate mem- branes or with fabrics or metals.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. more powerfully than the Negro who signed himself, in this essay and an- another, “Othello”? He has a striking way of turning the tables: “Might not the inhabitants of At- rica, with still greater justice on their side than we ‘have on ours, cross the Atlantic, seize our citizens, carry them into Africa, and make slaves of them, provided they were able to do it? But Should this be really the case, every corner of the globe would reverberate with the sound of African oppres- sion; so loud would be our complaint, and 0 ‘feeling our appeal’ to the tn- habitants of the world at large. We should represent them as a lawless, piratical set of unprineipled robbers, plunderers and villains, who basely prostituted the superior powers and information which God had given them for worthy purposes to the viles. of all ends.” “The chief aim of the higher educa- tion is to produce an efficient leader- ship,” remarks Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard university. “According to the last available data from the federal census, there are 15,000 Negro clergy: men, about two thousand Negro phy- sicians and dentists, 21,000 Negro teachers, 700 Negro lawyers, and sev eral thousand workers along the oth- er lines of the higher callings an‘ pursuits. These constitute about one halt of 1 per cent of the race; but it 4s to this class that the 99% per cent must look for leadersh{p.” Then Professor Miller points out that the graduates of Negro colleges and universities are at times “derided in all the moods and tenses of irony and ridicule. “In the rapid rise of this clase from the lower to the higher levels of life instances of mal-adaptations and. gro- tesque misfits might naturally be ex- pected. But a wide acquaintance with tho graduates of Negro colleges and universities in all parts of the land convinces me that such instances are exceptional, and do not in the least characterize them as a class, They are almost universally employe slong lines of useful endeavor for the gener- ‘al betterment of the community and command the respect and good will of the people of both races among whom they live and work.” _ In a communication to the Baltt- more American, Eliot Norton urges the formation of an army of Negroes. He writes: “Preparedness is in the air. Secre tary of War Garrison recommends an army 6f 500,000 men. Such men ‘would be the hired men of the United States government, but they would not be engaged in any useful labor. It would, therefore, be a detriment to ‘the country and to every taxpayer to ‘take them from the ranks of regular laboring men. There is no overplus of labor in this country. But we 4o have a class, constantly increasing, of men who idle away thelr lives, who are detrimentals and wasters. I refer to the Negroes, especially those in the cities. Why not make our proposéd army out of them? They make first- class soldiers. And the training they would receive would make men of them. To take 500,000 male Negroes, or half that number, and to train and Aiscipline. them as soldiers would pretty nearly settle the so-called Ne- gro question.” The tensile strength of a paper fly wheel ‘s greater than one made of iron.

WONDERFUL PROGRESS IN CANADA It Is Over the Hill—Splendid Bank Clearings, and the Crop Returns Reveal Vast Possi- bilities for the Future. “There are opportunities for invest: ment in Canada now that may prove attractive to American capital. Land prices 'n the west are low and wages Jess than on this side of the line, and whatever the outcome of the war, the future of the Dominion {s assured as ‘one of prosperity in the development of its vast resources.” Chicago Tribune. A short time ago the Canadian gov- ernmert asked for private subscrip- tions to a loan of fifty million dollars, Less than a month ‘was given for com- pletion of the subscription. On No- vember 30th, the day upon which sub- scriptions were to cease, tt was found that 110 million of dollars had been subscribed or 60 million dollars more than the amount asked. If there were any so pessimistic as to imagine that Canada was passing through a period of hard times the wonderfui showing of this subscription should put aside all doubts of Canada’s rapidly increas- ing prosperity. ‘The bank clearings of Winnipeg for 1915 were a billion and a half of dol- lars, Think of it. ‘Then, in addition, there were the bank clearings of the other cities throughout Western Can- ada. Regina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw also show big increase in clear- tngs, The Winnipeg statistics show that the city has done the biggest financial, commercial and industrial business in its history in 1915. A billion and a half are big clearings, representing business on a per cap tta basis of over $7,000 per head for every man, woman and child In the city, and has gone ahead of big man- ufacturing cities Ike Buffalo, and runs a close second to Detroit. It has shown bigger bank clearings than the middle west cities of Minneapolis and Duluth, .and has exceeded Los Angeles, Seattle and other noted ship- ping centers. It 1s now side by side with the ten biggest cities in North America in amount of bank clearings. But. because the war helped Canada recover quickly from a natural eco nomle depression it does not follow that, at tho end of the war, the coun- try must suffer a relapse, and straight- way return to a state of inactivity and hard times. A Winnipeg paper, with @ well- known reputation for conservatism in economic matters says: Car ‘a's undeveloped ftelds should prove a mighty factor after the war in adjusting the country’s business from one period to another. The staggering figures of this year’s crop, showing in- creases in production of 60 per cent over last year, give a slight idea of the future wealth stored in vast stretches of prairie plain yet untouched by the plow. The Northwest Grain-Dealers’ As- sociation on September 1 estimated that the wheat crop of the three Prairie Provinces would amount to 250,800,000 bushels. On November 10 that eati- mate was increased to 207,230,000 bushels. The Dominion government on September 13 estimated the West- ern wheat crop at 275,772,200 bushels, Dut on October 15 those figures were changed to 204,200,000 bushels. Monetary Returns for the Western Crop. ' And the amount of money which the wost {s recelving for {ts grain has not yet been wholly appreciated. Up to the 10th of December tho Canadian west had recetved some 170 million dollars for 182 million bushels of ite grain crop, of which 149 million bush- els was wheat. ‘The average price of No, 1 Northern wheat for September was 98% cents; for October 98% cents, and for the first three weeks of November $1.03%. On the 10th of December there was fully 120 million bushels of wheat to be marketed. This would leave about 30 million bushels for local consumption in the Prairie Provinces.

Patra x COULDN'T KILL MULE “OLD TOBE” NONE THE WORSE FOR LONG IMMERSION, Incident of the Civil War Shows How Hard It Is to Separate Govern: ment Pack Animal From Uncle Sain’s Rations. %. P. Hotchkiss, adjutant of Phil Sheridan post G. A. R. of Oak Park, Ill, tells the following experience with a government inule. As an army telegrapher Mr. Hotchkiss was at- tached to the staff of General Canby in the final Mobiie campaign. “The entire outfit for the construc tion of the army telegraph lines,” says Mr. Hotchkiss, “was carried on the backs of forty pack mules. A coil of half a mile of wire hung upon each side of the saddle. “There were six young operators, one from each corps, mounted on horses. To these boys had been in- trusted the government cipher and knowledge of the advance movement of the troops. These secrets were safe, as none of the young fellows ever be- trayed a trust. “For the Mobile campaign the mules were drilled in the streets of New Orleans to follow the lead of the mule- teer or the horse of the chief opera- tor. “One day, while following in the rear of the army up the peninsula from Dauphine {sland, the entire train was trailing along in the rear of the chief operator, who knew nothing ‘about ocean tides. The reel mule, ‘Old Tobe,’ from whose back was un- coiled the wire, was in advance and followed his leader into an arm of the Gulf ot Mexico, The operator's horse ‘was soon beyond his depth and was swimming for shoal water when it was seen that ‘Old Tobe’ had sunk beneath hiz heavy load. The muleteer swam his borse to where the reel mule had gone down, and after diving twice, came up gasping for breath. “The fool eritter is walking toward the Spanish fort,’ he said, ‘but I'll get him this time, sure.’ He dove again, and with his clasp knife cut the belly- band of the submerged mule and rid the animal of his load. ‘Old Tobe’ floated to the surface, shook the water from his ears, was towed ashore, pumped out, and a few hours later was ‘again making the march for Fish river. Save for dragging a little, he showed Uttle sign of his experience; but he had been under water long enough to have killed anything but a government mule.” Some 200 army operators, who, though many of their number were killed or taken prisoners of war, aro ineligible to a government pension, are the recipients of private pensions tn their old age from their comrade, An- drew Carnegie. Heredity and Eugenics. Only a misguided enthusiast, says the Journal of the American Medical Association would venture to make great claims at the present time for the possible future usefulness of ap- plied eugenics. The doctrines of heredity on which the new postulates are based must first be subjected to critical investigation. The lMmita- tions of the practical aspects of eu: genics must be clearly formulated and emphasized. It is well enough to maintain in a general way that vital ity is partly inherited and partly ac- quired, and that “a sound physical and mental inheritance {8 a greater asset than the inheritance of extraneous ad- vantages like wealth.” Many individ. unis, however, have assumed that the new science is primarily intended to foster a scheme of gencral govern: mental interference with marriage. AS ‘@ matter of fact, the most earnest stu: dents of the subject have at best hoped to promote the gradual estab- Ushment of standards in pablic opin: fon.

EYE FOLLOWS SPOKE Explanation of Seeming Phenomena of the "Movies." Why Wheel, as It Revolves, Seems to Rotate Backwards—Illusion That Has Puzzled Many Is Really a Simple Matter. Every person who has gone to the "movies" has probably noticed when there is a picture thrown on the screen which involves the rotation of a wheel having spokes, such as those on a buggy or an automobile, that as the wheel first starts to rotate it appears to revolve in unison with the rest of the picture, but as it gains speed it suddenly appears to rotate backward, rapidly at first; then it slowly stops turning, although the vehicle gains in speed. It then seems to rotate forward slowly, but not with the speed of the rest of the vehicle. The film manufacturers have not been able to eliminate this unfortunate illusion. Many explanations have been heard, but they seldom approach the right one. The moving picture is based on the fact that the retina of the eye retains the vision for a small fraction of a second. A moving object seen on the screen in reality is a series of pictures projected with such rapidity that the retina of the eye still has the vision of one projection when the next appears. Thus the picture appears to move. In the case of a revolving wheel the eye follows the spokes. To make the ex- Diagram Showing Why Wheels Turn Backward in Movies. planation as simple is possible the top spoke will be considered, and its subsequent positions and phenomena analyzed. When the wheel starts to rotate to the right, as shown in the diagram, the top spoke in the picture will be in position No. 1. If the second picture shows the spoke in position No. 2 the wheel will appear to be rotating in unison with the rest of the picture. If, however, the wheel is rotating rapidly enough so that the second picture shows the top spoke in position No. 4 it will appear to the eye in position No. 5 in the first picture, has moved back to position No. 4, and the wheel appears to be rotating backward. When the wheel rotates so fast that the camera catches the second position of the first spoke in the first position of the second spoke, the wheel will show no rotation at all, though the vehicle still moves. When the wheel rotates so fast that the second position of the top spoke will appear in position No. 6, the wheel will appear to have rotated from positions Nos. 5 to 6. This appears as a slow forward rotation. When the wheel rotates so that the second position of the top spoke is in position No. 3, the wheel may appear to be rotating forward in unison with the rest of the picture, or it may appear to be rotating backward. The fact that the illusion springs from the very fundamental phenomenon of all "movie" work, explains why manufacturers have been unable to eliminate it. Probably, for that matter, they will be unable to eliminate it in the future, so the perverse wheels seem determined to stay with us so long as we have movies.—From the Illustrated World. "Hungry Sam" Has Retired. "Hungry Sam" Miller, who for years has been the terror of those in charge of church suppers, and who became famous throughout this part of the state for his gastronomic feats, has announced his retirement from heavy eating, says a Bloomburg (Pa.) dispatch to the Philadelphia North American. In his own words: "It don't agree with me no more to eat 144 fried eggs at once." When "Hungry Sam" appeared at any supper where "all you could eat" was served, those in charge gave up hope of making the affair a financial success, for he liked to eat until everything in the place was cleaned up.

Kidney and Bladder Trouble Causes Great Distress It gives me great pleasure to recommend Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root to any one suffering from bladder-trouble. For four years I was troubled by hemorrhages from the bladder and was not able to get any doctor who could help me. I was in such shape that sleep at night was impossible on account of distressing symptoms. I was unable to bend in that it was impossible for me to straighten up. Mr. Henry, one of our leading druggists, advised Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root; although I never had any faith in patent medicines, as a last resort I purchased a dollar bottle of Swamp-Root. I noticed a decided change and after using two bottles I was completely cured. It seemed remarkable that I should be cured so quickly after being in a long. But once once nearly two years ago I have never been troubled and would highly advise any one suffering from the same trouble to at least give Swamp-Root a trial. And I think the results will be the same as mine. Personally appeared before me this 14th day of February, 1913, Mr. T. A.

FAMOUS OLD GERMAN HYMNS Religious Melodies That Have Been Adopted and Become Favorites in Other Countries. Those who have any knowledge of our hymnology would have recognized two old favorites in the German wireless message, says the Westminster Gazette. They were two sung before the chancellor's palace in Berlin, and they were described as the old Lutheran song, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" and "Now Let Us All Thank God." Of course, we know them in this country as "A Safe Stronghold Our God Is Still" and the ever popular "Now Thank We All Our God." Both are great favorites in this country, as in Germany, where the former is known as a battle hymn. In Germany a hymn is sung on the smallest excuse. There are at least 100,000 German hymns; 10,000 have passed into German hymn books and about 1,000 are regarded as classics by the German critics. We have borrowed largely from the enemy in this respect, and, indeed, until the modern revival of the translation of hymns from the Latin and other languages Germany was almost the only source from which hymns other than British were taken for our hymn books. Luther wrote a large number marked by rugged and intense power, and other writers whom we know well here are Rickard, Von Lowenstern, Froelinghausen and the Moravian Count Zinzendorf. FOOD FACTS What an M. D. Learned. A prominent physician down in Georgia went through a food experience which he makes public: "It was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food; and I also know from having prescribed it to convalescents and other weak patients that this food is a wonderful rebuilder and restorer of nerve and brain tissue, as well as muscle. It improves the digestion and patients gain, just as I did in strength and weight, very rapidly. "I was in such a low state that I had to give up my work entirely and so to the mountains, but two months there did not improve me; in fact I was not quite as well as when I left home. My food did not sustain me and it became plain that I must change." "I began to use Grape-Nuts and in two weeks I could walk a mile, and in five weeks returned to my home and practice, taking up hard work again. Since that time I have felt as well and strong as I ever did in my life. "As a physician who seeks to help all sufferers I consider it a duty to make these facts public." Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts when the regular food does not seem to sustain the body will work wonders. "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Ever read the above letter?

Scientists Have Definitely Ascertained Cause of the Disease—Only Preventive Is Complete Extermination of the Pest. What happens in your blood when a malaria mosquito bites you, and what happens in a mosquito's blood when it sucks that of a person who has malaria, is well illustrated in the accompanying diagram, taken from "Insects and Man," by C. A. Ealand, M. A., formerly principal of the East Anglian College of Agriculture, just published in America by the Century company. Let us suppose that a female mosquito has just imbibed a drop of blood from an infected man; along with the blood, and in the blood corpuscles, several exceedingly minute features known as gametocytes pass into the stomach of the insect. (See cut A.) These blood parasites are not all of the same size, the smaller ones, known as microgametocytes, carry out male functions, while the larger microgametocytes may be regarded as females. These two forms of the same parasite pass through certain changes (B and C), and eventually unite (D). The single organism thus formed becomes a wormlike, moving creature called a vermiculus (E). The vermiculus penetrates the walls of the mosquito's stomach and passes to the external muscular layers, where it grows rapidly and its nucleus becomes much divided (F and G) until it is merely a sac filled with many rodlike bodies known as sporozoites. The sac bursts and liberates these sporozoites into the mosquito's body cavity (H). About ten days after the meal of infected blood these sporozoites are in the mosquito's salivary glands, ready to infect the first human being the insect bites. When the mosquito punctures the skin countless numbers of these minute sporozoites are injected into the wound. They instantly attack the red corpuscles of the blood, each entering a corpuscle, where it quickly loses its elongate form and assumes that of a signet ring (J). This changes form until it has divided up into a multitude of tiny organisms known as merozoites (K and L). The corpuscle is now dead or dying, and it soon bursts, setting free the multitude of sporozoites into the blood stream. These again attack the healthy red corpuscles, and the process of destruction is repeated. As the original sporozoites attack the red corpuscles at the same moment, and as their development takes a certain time, usually about forty-eight hours, they are all liberated simultaneously. This process is repeated over and over again in a rhythmic cycle, and every time the red corpuscles burst and liberate the merozoites the chill that is so characteristic of malaria comes on. This usually takes place every forty-eight hours, the intervals being filled with more or less severe fever. If no mosquito comes along to suck the blood of the infected patient the germs of the malaria are finally destroyed by the antitoxins of the blood—or by quinine, which effectively kills them—unless they prove too numerous MAN MOSQUITO and kill the patient. If a mosquito of the right species imbibes them the whole cycle is repeated and they are ready in about ten days to infect someone else. If, however, they be imbibed by a mosquito of the wrong species they quickly perish. Why they can develop and unite and again develop in the blood of only certain mosquitoes has never been explained satisfactorily. The mosquitoes of the sub-family Anopheles are the only ones that can carry malaria. Those of the genus Stegomyla are the carriers of yellow fever, the process of which is similar—New York World.

WHAT IS U THE CAUSE OF BACKACH Ever since the discovery of uric acid in the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and the bad effect it had upon the body, scientists and physicians have striven to rid the tissues and the blood of this poison. Because of its overabundance in the system it causes backache, pains here and there, rheumatism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who discovered a new agent, called "Anuric," which will throw out and completely eradicate this uric acid from the system.

Mrs. H, Glvan and Mrs. J, J. Cave, both of Ozark, have found, in common with many other Missouri mothers, that a jar of Vap-O-Rub in the house insures, a good night's sleep. Vap-O-Rub is the external treatment for all forms of croup or cold troubles, introduced here from the South last winter. It is in salve form and you just rub it over the throat and chest, covering with a warm flannel cloth. The body warmth releases antiseptic vapors that are inhaled with each breath, loosening the phlegm, and, in addition, Vick's is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, relieving the tightness and soreness. Croup is usually relieved in fifteen minutes, and a C2 other diseases which are dependent on an accumulation of uric acid within the body. Send to Dr. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., for a pamphlet on "Anuric," or send 10 cents for a trial package of "Anuric" Tablets. If you feel that tired, worn-out feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your sleep is disturbed by too frequent urination, go to your best store and ask for Dr. Pierce's "Anuric." Dr. Pierce's reputation is back of this medicine and you know that his "Pleasant Pellets" for the liver and his "Favorite Prescription" for the ills of women have had a splendid reputation for the past fifty years. Still Ahead. Hardup—There was a time when people used to say that I had more money than brains, but they can't say that now. Wife—Why not? Hardup—Because I've come down to my last dollar. Wife—Well, you still have a dollar. IMITATION IS SINCEREST FLATTERY but like counterfeit money the imitation has not the worth of the original. Insist on "La Creole" Hair Dressing—it's the original. Darkens your hair in the natural way, but contains no dye. Price $1.00.—Adv. Devious Reasoning. "Did you make your husband promise that in the event of war he will not be a soldier?" "Yes." "Don't you want him to be a hero?" "Of course. You know John nearly always breaks his promises." good application at night will, in almost every case, prevent a night attack. But let Mrs. Givan speak for herself. She writes—"I have used Vick's Vap-O-Rub on my little girl for croup. I rubbed it on her chest and throat and it is just splendid, and I wasn't afraid to go to bed at night." Mrs. Cave says—"I find Vap-O-Rub the best thing I have ever used for colds, sore throat, croup and all kinds of skin troubles for children. I could not do without it now, as it saves calling a doctor." The penetrative quality of Vick's makes it excellent also for inflammations of the skin, such as burns, bruises, itchings, piles and muscular soreness. In these cases, particularly in cases of burns, it seems to draw out the inflammation and has a delightfully cooling effect. Three sizes, 25c, 50c or $1.00. The Vick Chemical Company: Greensboro, N.
