METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER (By FINNEY BRIGGS.) THANKS. The editor of the Gazette, thanks Alderman Purke, for the interest and earnest work in securing a favorable vote in the City Council in giving us electric power at our plant. We also thank the other aldermen who favored us in our request, as we are thinking of placing a cylinder press in our already well equipped office. Giving us power is no more than what we are enti led to but we appreciate fair minded men, ones who look upon all of their constituents alike rich or poor, white or black. Ad rman H. G. Burke, has made a splendid alderman, in our way of thinking taking everything as a whole, of course he has not expressed our views on every proposition, in fact we differ on some measures. The negro voters of the city should feel proud of him. I dont think that the city council has a intelligent representative than he, and none with whom the development is more at heart. Daily Health Hint. Understand that if you are mentally unified with stinkiness, old age and death, no amount of desire or affirmation can make you well, young, or long lived. To be healthy, you must be mentally in unity with health; to remain young, you must be mentally one with youth, and to live long, you must be mentally unified with life, says Wallace D. Watties in the Nautilus. MOTTO : HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY B. Y. P. U. Program For Sunday Evening, March, 5th.

Cork, is indeed progressing and bids fair to be the best in the district. They are striving to win the banner which the District President, Mr. Edgar McCrary, has offered as an incentive for better workers in this line. They have rendered financial assistance to the church on a number of occasion during this winter and yet have a neat sum in the treasure. They solicit your attendance each Sunday. On last Sunday the lesson was extremely interesting; Mrs. Brown was the instructor for the evening, she is a very able instructor. The attendance increases each Sunday and quite a number of young boys have become interested and instead of staying on the street come in the church and take an active part. On next Sunday Rev. J. B. McCrary will be the leader, and the above program will be rendered, to which all are cordially invited. St. Paul, Minnesota. One of the most severe seasons of real cold winter weather this section of the country has had for years, is now holding things in its grip. The subzero temperature, ranging as low as thirty degrees, has continued for weeks practically unbroken. The snow fall has been a record breaker. St. Paul's winter Carnival of Outdoor's Sport was certainly the greatest winter event of the past twenty years. Sixty-Five thousand people stood on the streets to see the great Carnival parade notwithstanding the temperature was registering thirty degrees below zero. It was a most exciting affair. Lewis J. Hill, Son of the Railroad Builder, J. J. Hill, was president of the Winter Carnival. The Union Hall Association which succeeded in building the magnificent three story brick building in 1915, is congratulating itself upon the full and unanimous support given by the colored citizens of St. Paul. At present all the Fraternal and secret lodges of the city (nineteen) are holding their regular weekly meetings in UNION HALL BUILDING. The first floor is occupied by the Afro-American-Athletic-Association at a rental of $45 00 a month. This is the only organization of its kind in the Northwest. Their hall is a real Gimnasium furnished with modern asperatus. The total membership counting the ladies department, is more than two hundred. Rev. J. P. Simms, who was sent to the pastorate of St James A. M. E. church by the last conference, has not enjoyed the best of health since coming to the 'Saintly', city. Evidently the extreme cold weather is in part responsible for this. Rev. Mr. Simms is a splendid speaker, and CHURCHES the leadership of Mrs. Bessie ing and bids fair to be the are serving to win the banner Mr. Eugar McCrary, has better workers in this line. Special assistance to the church during this winter and yet ure. Since each Sunday. On last extremely interesting; Mrs the evening, she is a very each Sunday and quite a become interested and in- t come in the church and B. McCrary will be the lead- will be rendered, to which is generally esteemed by all who have learned to know him. He peached the union thanksgiving service last November in Pilgrim Baptist church. Rev E. H. McDonald, pastor of the irregularly organized Memorial Baptist church (a split from Pilgrim) is doing exceedingly well The church bought the property, once occupied by the Swedish church, on the corner of Rice and Fuller Streets. They are making payments in an acceptable manner. Many new members have been added to the church. It is hoped by the Minnesota Baptists that these Irregular Baptist brethren will soon see and make amends for their hasty and uncalled for action, and repent. Zion Presbyterian church under the leadership of Rev. G W. Camp, is yet active and pressing pressing the claims of Presbyterianism. The Home Mission Board of the Presbyterian denomination bought the lot and built a very magnificent house of worship and parsonage for these colored brethren. The Home Board pays two thirds of the $900.00 annual salary of Rev. Mr. Camp. Last year was a record breaker with Pilgrim Baptist church under the pastorate of Rev B. N. Murrell. Pilgrim is the oldest church of colored people in Minnesota. Within its membership there is to be found a larger number of the Leading Negro christian men and women of the state. It is recognized by all as the First church not only in point of years but in point of financial, intellectual, moral and influential strength. The membership is not as large as it was before it was split by Rev. E. H. McDonald, but its Sunday School attendance, its finances and general activities were never credited with larger returns than last year. There is peace, and good will throughout the membership. After serving eight years as pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church of Pecoria, Illinois. Rev. B. N. Murrell was called to the pastorate of Pilgrim. He is not only generally loved and respected by the members of his own church but by the citizens generally in St. Paul and Minneapolis. In the general activities of the "Twin Cities" no minister of colored churches is more often sought than Rev. B. N. Murrell Attorney James P. Anderson of St. Paul, died at an early hour Sunday morning at his home a t many weeks of suffering Mr. Anderson was a city mail carrier years in St. Paul. But for the last three years he has given all his time to the practice of his profession—Law. He was an active member of Zion Presbyterian church (colored) where his funeral service will be held Tuesday at 2:30 P. M. The eulogy will be pronounced by the pastor, Rev. G. W. Camp. - W. H.

Every department of the work here is moving along nicely and students are still coming in. Rev. J. J. Chappelle, of Springfield, Ill., is here on a visit. Rev. J. N. Washington. Philadelphia's Loss We learn with regret, exceedingly great, that the Rev. Elbert W. Moore, D. D., has resigned his pastorate at Zion Bapt. Church this city, where he has been nearly twenty years. When Dr. Moore came here from Denver Colo, some years ago, to take charge of this church, it was small and insignificant, being located in a part of the city removed from the great center of Negro population. He leaves it ones of the best known churches in Philadelphia, and one of the best organized. Dr. Moore himself has made an impression upon this city such as is surpassed by no man in it. We perhaps, express the opinion of most people when we say that he is probably the most public-spirited minister in Philadelphia today. His great heart has shown itself in well organized, highly spiritual church, a "front line" Sunday school, a daily vacation Bible school, an old people's home, the best literary society in the city, the best boys band in the country all connected with his church, and a score of other things. His church is the center of all large race movements. He is respectfully active in politics, where he is a power for good, in education, in industrial and all social matters. He is a Baptist that makes a Methodist feel like shaking his hand every time he preaches a sermon. At the meeting it was voted unanimously by 500 members to lay his resignation on the table and him to take a year's leave of absence, hoping that he will change his mind. He goes to Columbus, Ohio. Our best wishes follow him.—Christian Recorder. A LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL.

Jaffa of the California state board of health denies that, as is generally believed, lye-peeled peaches are more injurious to health than hand-peeled fruits. The food value, quality and flavor are unchanged, and it is impossible to distinguish one from the other except by the knife marks of the hand-peeled product, he says. Analyses show that the acidity of the fruit is not affected by the use of lye in the peeling process. Albert Hargreaves, a Paterson, N. J., policeman, has fallen heir to $125,000.

Ingenious Construction of Arm Enables Wearer to Perform Almost All the Tasks Possible to the Normal Man. To those unfortunate who have been deprived of their hands and arms through accident or otherwise, it would appear that aid in the form of artificial limbs is about to be realized. At least, the artificial limbs invented by an American who, some twelve years ago, lost his arm while operating a milling machine in a Pittsburgh shop and devised the improved artificial limb during his convalescence - emulate the natural ones to such a striking degree that the handicap heretofore suffered by cripples is materially reduced. An artificial arm was recently exhibited at the International Surgical congress held in New York, and the dexterity with which its wearer was able to perform different tasks was little short of a revelation. The artificial limb permits of the performance of all ordinary tasks, including the drinking of a glass of gater, buttoning of shoes, tipping one's hat and, as an extreme example of its practicality, the carrying a satchel weighing about 30 pounds. In the artificial arm, fiber willow is used for the wooden portion, while steel gears take the place of joints and rawhide cords act as muscles. Each rawhide cord ends on a pair of suspenders fastened across the back and the chest, which furnishes the necessary tension. Thus the shrugging of the shoulder is made to control the arm and hand and the 240 parts of which they are composed. The rawhide muscles move the steel joints, and the unison that obtains makes the action of the arm almost natural. The elbow is bent with a simple forward movement of the stump which, by means of the cord attached from the forearm to the shoulder suspender, raises the hand as high as the wearer wishes—high enough to take off his hat or brush his hair, if so desired. A downward movement of the shoulder causes a slight tension on another rawhide cord controlling the fingers, which results in bending the hand backward from the wrist joint and the opening of the fingers. Another shrug of the shoulder closes the fingers and locks them so that they tightly grip the object that is being handled, from a toothpick to a valise. Repeating the downward movement of the shoulder causes the fingers to be unlocked. The wrist is provided with a hinge joint and a button and can be locked securely in three positions. If desired, the button can be pushed back and the wrist flexed automatically by means of the cord which opens and closes the fingers. All the work is done by the shoulders. Raising the elbow moves the wrist one-third of a turn. The accompanying line drawings depict the more important features of A B C D E the artificial limbs. At A and B are shown the back and front views, respectively, of the shoulder harness or straps and how the arm, wrist, straps are so arranged that by slightly varying shrugs of the shoulders the rawhide cords actuate the arm and hand in the desired manner. At C appears a sectional view of the arm, in which the three cords appearing at the left are, in the order shown, the finger control cord, the wrist cord and the elbow cord. The pivot appearing at the center is the elbow pivot. The two cords at the extreme right are the finger-operating cords. An enlarged view of the lever mechanism of the arm appears at D. At E is shown the bevel gear mechanism which serves to turn the wrist, while at F appears the hand member—Scientific American. Class Spirit in Rainbow. The class spirit is going strong at Hartford City. A few days ago every high school girl in the school wore silk stockings of brilliant hues—the class colors. There was a display of hosley of purple and gold, some pearl and gray, others green and white, and still others black and red. The boys, not to be outdone, appeared next day similarly, garbed, and in many instances wore collars painted in class colors. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL.

CLAIMS THAT SWAMP-ROOT SAVED HER LIFE About nine years ago I had Rheumatism so bad that I was in bed for six weeks. I was not able to raise my head to take a drink of water. I was unable to move my hands or feet, and my back would hurt me so that words could not tell what I suffered. I saw Dr. Kilmer & Company's advertisement of Swamp-Root and I decided to try it and commenced my work for first bottling. I continued on with the use of Swamp-Root until I was restored to good health. I am now 67 years of age and I do my own house work for four in the family; also I do my own washing. I have not been troubled with the Rheumatism for the last eight years. I cheerfully recommend Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root to others as I believe it saved my life. Very truly yours, MRS. EMMA A. BOGGS, 1000 N. 9th St., Independence, Kansas State of Kansas, : Before me, C. L. Jukes, a Notary Public in and for said County and State, personally appeared Emma A.

Many Believe Tower Famous Structure Mentioned in the Bible—Built of Colored Brick in Succession of Stages. It is doubtful if there is any place in the world so rich in ancient remains as the valley of the Euphrates, in Mesopotamia. The result is that to archeologists and scholars the place is a veritable "Tom Tiddler's ground," and new "finds" are constantly being reported. When it is remembered that tradition places the site of the Garden of Eden here, while amongst its many ruins are those of ancient Babylon, the promising nature of the valley to the scientific excavator becomes apparent. It is near the ruins of Babylon that we find what many scholars believe to be the remains of the Tower of Babel—an immense cube of brick work A Lonely Pile, Worn by Ages of Weather is the World's Only Claimant to the Honor of Being to Tower of Babel. called by the natives Birs Mimrud. Recent exhaustive examination of the strange pile and its site has revealed the fact that the tower which once stood here consisted of seven stages of brick work on an earthen platform, each stage being of a different color. The tower boasted of a base measurement of nearly six hundred square feet, and rose to an unknown height. Even today the ruins rise some hundred and sixty feet above the level of the surrounding plain—Popular Mechanics. Dog Knows Phone Ring. Bud, a Boston terrier, owned by W. P. Pinney, an employee of the Southern New England Telephone company and a member of the volunteer fire brigade, can distinguish his master's telephone call—two rings—from the other numbers on the 316 line, according to a Winsted (Conn.) dispatch to the New York Hekhald. When the bell rings twice and Pinney is at home and does not hear the call the dog searches for him. By barking and other means he attracts his master's attention to the telephone. When Pinney falls to respond at night to the double ring Bud dashes to his master's room and rouses him. That is one reason why Pinney never falls to report for duty at a night fire. Napoleon in Opera. Long ago dramatic authors put Napoleon I upon the stage. But until the present the little corporal has only spoken. Now he is going to sing. The libretto of the opera is ready and a Genève musician, M. Joseph Lauber, is to write the music. The title is simple, "1815." The theme will include the flight from the Isle of Elba, the hundred days, Waterloo and St. Helena. The role of the emperor will be taken by M. Zimmerman, who joins to a strong tenor voice the Napoleonic face. The idea of making Napoleon sing does not lack in audacity and one may well ask if it will be accepted by the French public. London Short of Doctors The operation of the English insurance act, with its free medical attention to the low-waged class, is seriously hampered by lack of doctors. In London, the 1,440 panel doctors have been reduced by 170 who have joined the forces at the front, leaving 1,270 to look after the city's 1,500,000 insured persons. If the remaining number is further reduced by the new armies, the medical benefit of the insurance act may be allowed to lapse, which would bring great suffering upon the poor. South Africa's Fruit Exports. It is anticipated that large quantities of oranges and other citrus fruits will be available for shipment from South Africa to England during the coming season. In another four years the South African shipments of such fruit will, according to the estimate of C. du Chiappini, British government trades commissioner to South Africa, amount to 400,000 boxes, and in ten years to 4,000,000 boxes annually. Greece Exports Much Opium. Oplum is such an important article of export from Greece that it ranks third in the country's export list, coming after tobacco and currants. There was an enormous increase in the optum exports in 1914 on account of the war, which reflected to Saloniki shipments of the drug which would otherwise have been landed elsewhere. Oplum shipped from Greece is used for the manufacture of morphine.

Carthage Mothers To Keep Boy Now They Are Not Afraid to Let the Children Run Outdoors Every mother knows how hard it is to keep children, especially boys, indoors in bad weather. And yet if they run out it usually means croup or colds. Carthage, Mo., mothers have solved this problem by keeping plenty of fresh air in the bedroom at night, and applying a hot application of Vick's Vap-O-Rub at the first sign of trouble. Vap-O-Rub really is a remarkable preparation. It is the invention of a North Carolina druggist, and is universally used in the South, but was introduced here only last winter. It comes in salve form and is applied externally over the throat and chest. Externally—it acts like a poultry or plaster, relieving the tightness and soreness. Internally—it acts like a vapor-lamp, except that you do not have to keep the windows shut and the fresh air excluded as you do with the old fashioned vapor-lamp. Vick's is so made that the body heat releases the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors are inhaled with every breath through the air passages to the lungs, carrying the medication right to the affected parts. Mrs. Lee Wilkerson, 409 E.

Mrs. Bortha Crowe, R. F. D. No. 7, has a little boy four years old who "is bothered with bronchial trouble, and catches cold whenever he runs out in damp weather. His head and nose stop up and he coughs so much that his lungs wheeze until you can hear him all over the room." Mrs. Crowe says she just rubs Vap-O-Rub well over the throat and chest and covers with a warm flannel cloth, and the vapors arising, open his head.

The Genuine has VAPORUB this Trade Mark THE EVIDENCE IN THE GASE Until, a few years ago Mr. Henry Lohmann lived at Effingham, Ill. He thought he would better his condition in a new country, where he would have wider scope for his farming operations. It would not seem essential to refer to Mr. Lohmann, at this particular time, as of German blood, but for the fact that so many false statements have gone out as to ill treatment of Germans In Canada. Writing from Willmont, Sask., under date of January 30, 1916, Mr. Lohmann says: "We are perfectly satisfied in this country, and doing well up here. "I bought a half section of land and took up a homestead, my three sons also took homesteads, two of them buying each 160 acres of land as well. I sold my homestead, and I and one of my sons own a threashing outfit. "The crop this year was good; the oats went 80 to 90 bushels per acre, and wheat went 40 to 50 bushels and the price is fair." Sam Morrow, of Millet, Alta., in writing to Mr. J. M. MacLachlan, Canadian government agent at Watertown, S. D., says: "I am well pleased with the country. The climate is better than I ever thought it could be so far north; ideal climate for stock. I have some colts and cattle that have not been inside of a stable in four years. I consider this a fine country for mixed farming. I know of farmers around here who had 42 bushels of barley, to the acre and 55 bushels of oats to the acre." Jason Goetz of Piapot, Sask., had 43 acres of wheat from which he got 1,200 bushels, and got an average of 93 bushels of oats to the acre. Golden Prairie, Sask., is a district largely, settled by South Dakotans. Horace Blake is one of those. He says: "The crops of 1915 were immense." Wheat in his locality, went from 40 to 55 bushels per acre; cats about 80 bushels on an average. One hundred bushels of potatoes were grown on a quarter of an acre of land; twelve potatoes weighed 30 pounds. His horses run out all winter, and come in fat. He raised excellent corn, and fattened hogs on it. He concludes an interested letter by saying: "There are schools in every district. The people here are most all busters and are fast pushing to the front. When I first came up here on almost every half section stood a little 12x14 shack, now almost everyone has real modern houses and barns." Some Southern Alberta yields for 1915: I. H.

CAP and BELLS WOULD MAKE ANY SACRIFICE Callow Young Man, Who Had Been Trying to Raise Mustache, Is Told to Get It Cut. "I'm prepared to make any sacrifice for you, dear," said the callow young man as he knelt at the feet of his adored one. "Do you really mean that?" asked the girl, as she thoughtfully studied his features. "Try me and see." "Then I will. You have been making a desperate effort to grow a mustache for two years, Algernon, and the result is -er -rather disappointing. Go to a barber, dear, and sacrifice that on the altar of love." Won the Argument. "Blinks seems to be in a peevish mood this morning." "No wonder.

ILL HAVE ROSY CHEEKS AND FEEL FRESH AS A DAISY—TRY THIS! HAVE ROSY CHEEKS AND FEEL FRESH AS A DAISY—TRY THIS! Says glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast washes out poisons. To see the tinge of healthy bloom in your face, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, to wake up without a headache, backache, coated tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to feel your best, day in and day out, just try inside-bathing every morning for one week. Before breakfast each day, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it as a harmless means of washing from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at your druggist or general store, but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the blood and internal organs. Those who are subject to constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, rheumatic twings, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion pallid, are assured that one week of inside-bathing will have them both looking and feeling better in every way.—Adv. The population of Bridgeport, Conn. is estimated to have increased during the present year by about 35,000—growing from 115,000 to 150,000.

It will cool for fallings and will make hair soft and cozy. It will not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy, and does not rub off.—Ady. Large New Industry Projected.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neutralize Irritating Acids—Splendid for the System. Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.—Adv. Too Familiar.

Claude Martin of St. Louis county says this really happened: A farmer in the Creve Coeur district whose wife greatly deprecates his intermittent convival tendency, came to St. Louis in the holidays and greatly enjoyed himself. Upon returning home he was extremely thirsty, desiring above all things, a drink of cold water, and yet fearing to arouse his vigilant wife. He put up his horses and cautiously approached the old draw well. The bucket rose almost noiselessly as he pulled the windlass and he secured a mighty draft. He drank till he could hold no more. The night was quite cold and the water splendid. Suddenly, in the gratitude of his refreshment, he lifted up his voice. "Maria!" he shouted. "Oh, Maria!" "Whatever do you want?" demanded his wife, from the house. "What are you standing out there in the lot, bellerin' like a calf for?" "Oh, Maria," the husband pleaded, "you and the children come on out here and git some of this good water."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat Out of the Ordinary. "I'm very much afraid my wife is going to have brain trouble," said the druggist. "What reasons have you for thinking so?" queried his friend, the doctor.

The Farmer—Hev you noticed how purty Silas Corntassle's daughter is getting to be? The Parson (somewhat of an artist) —Why, she's as beautiful as Hebe.
