Metropolis Weekly Gazette

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE St. Paul, Minnesota. Sunday March 12, was the first real brake in winter weather for St. Paul, in so far as Sunday is concern. There was every indication of the return of the Spring season. The streets in places were converted into lakes while streams of water like rivers flowed in every direction. Great crowds promenaded on the streets throughout the day. The cars were crowded with others who ventured out from the monotonous winter quarters. Spring suits of the 1915 style, long in hiding, were very much in evidence bringing them the Moth balls. Surely Spring is not so far away. The churches were well attended at both the morning and evening services. Many of the aged people kept in during the cold season, were out to the churches. Rev. J. P. Simms of the St. James A. M. E. church announced Sunday that the minister from out of the city who was to have assisted in the series of evangelistic services will not be with the church on the third Sunday. An over amount of business matters was given as the cause why he can not come. But Rev. Simms proposes to hold the meetings as they were announced. Rev. Stovall, pastor of St. Peters A. M. E. church will assist Rev. Simms. Rev. G. W. Camp repeats a splendid day for the colored Presbyterians. Rev. A. M. Lealtad, rector of St. Phillips Episcopal church was much pleased with the attendance upon the services in both of the mission churches of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Pilgrim Baptist church enjoyed another happy season March 12. In the morning the pastor spoke on the subject, "The Devotion of Property to Public Worship, or Service." At night Rev. J. S. Strong preached. The attendance was splendid. Many strangers were present. The offering at the two services was $82 61. Mrs Hattie Weisman made application for membership. It has been many Sundays since the church failed to received application from some one for membership. Many who came over from Minneapolis to hear the pastor preach at night, were disappointed in not hearing him. Mr Prince Moore, an old St. Paul Darber was buried Friday. Funeral was conducted by Rev. B. N. Murrell. Mr. Moore was not a member of any church. Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Trotter, an old charter member of Pigtim Baptist church was buried Saturday from the church at 2:30 P.M. The church was well filled with friends of the deceased to pay the last tribute of respect to her remaini. Mrs. Trotter was recognized as the most sunny, christian woman in St. Paul. She was confined to her sick bed for twelve years and two months. But in the face of this sore trial, she remained, and maintained her sweet disposition to the last hour. Rev. B. N. Murrell her past pronounced the eulogy. Andrew Jackson a Pullman MOTTO : How To The Line. Let The Chips Fall Where They May. Hall. Mrs. Hall is not only a Pianoist of recognition but she is the peerless St. Paul Pipeorgan player. No other singer of the race in the Northwest has a voice for singing, of such a wide range as Mrs. Hall. It is not alone for her high easy soprana tones she is admired, she is equally rated for her full Contralto tones. She is Manager and instructor of the Twin City Female Double Quartet. Upon completing her educational work Mrs. Hall was for years Stenographer and Typewriter for the President of the largest Department store in the city. Since her marriage she has confined her scope of work to her home, children and church. Mr. A. Absalon Narris and Miss Irene Salters were united in marriage Monday, March 13, at six o'clock P. M. This wedding was the greatest surprise of any to the friends of the young couple. Although they have been in one another's company for two years and more, but not even their closest friends knew that they proposed to marry at this time. Miss Salters is the youngest of the Salters sisters who are known so widely throughout the Northwest as noted singers. Just last year they made an extended tour along the Pacific coast. She is not only one of St. Paul's prettiest young ladies but she is a very faithful member of St. James A. M. E. church. Mr. Harris is an eastern man by birth. He has lived in St. Paul for the past three years. They aim to make their home here. Rev. B. N. Murrell read the marriage vow. Tuesday afternoon, March 14, the Twin city colored ministers meet in Guil Hall of the St. Phillips Episcopal church to form an organization for the purpose of moral, intellectual and spiritual help to the colored pasters. Not in the history of the twin cities was such a meeting ever called for this purpose. It is believed that inestimable good will come through the medium of this organization. Rev E. H. McDonald, 'pastor of the Memorial Baptist church (irregular) is planning to leave Wednesday morning on a business trip to St. Lake City, Utah. He may be gone for four or five days. Mr. Editor: Please allow me the liberty to speak a few words in the columns of your paper, about our church and Sunday school. At 11:00 a. m. the hour for preaching Rev J. D Davis ascended the rostrum and preached powerful a powerful sermon, text found John 5:44 all seemed to be aroused over this sermon. At 3 o'clock p. m. the church re-assembled and Rev. Davis, delivered another soul stirring sermon from which he received many compliments. For the third time Rev Davis, again filled the pulpit at 7:30 and delivered an elequent discourse to a large and appreciative porter, of Atlanta, Ga., was buried Monday, March 13 from Simpson and Willis Undertaking Parliors a 11:00 a.m. m. Mr. Jackson was a young man about thirty years of age. He died without having publicly owning Jesus Christ as his Saviour. By request of his wife, Rev. B. N. Murrell pronounced the last words over his body. Mr. T. H. Lyles, St. Paul's first Negro Undertaker, is among the most substancial colored citizens. He owns splendid Real property, and is enjoying a thriving business. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lyles are burden bearing members of St. James A. M. E. chnrch They entertained Rev. and Mrs. B. N. Murrell one evening last week. Notwithstanding their year of experience, each is yet mentally alive; they are splendid entertainers. For years Mrs. Lyles has been actively connected with the Federated Clubs of Colored women in St. Paul, in Minnesota and the United States. Simpson & Wills Undertakers are two of St. Paul's strong, fearless and thriving colored business men. Within the past two years of the Company's existence, they have gone beyond the expectation of their most ardent friends. They are sharing a large amount of the patronage of the Twin city colored people in the care of their dead, Mr. F. B. Simpson is a member of Pilgrim Baptist church holding the position of Sunday school teacher, G. W. Wills is a deacon, and Sunday School Superintendent of the same church. Beside their own business as Undertakers, both of these gentlemen are regular Clerks under the Civil Service System, in the St. Paul United States Post Office at $100.00 a month salary. Both are married and own valuable property Mr. W. A. Hilyard is a member of one of the pioneer family of St. Paul, known throughout the twin cities and Minnesota for its Musical ability. He is a Violinist of ability. For years Mr. Hilyard has been in the employ of The Great Northern railroad with a position in the Advertising Department at a salary of $120.00 a month. His youngest son is a regular Letter Caraier in the St. Paul Post office. For years Mr. Hilyard has been a member of St. Phillips (colored) Episcopal church. But because of the open stand, and endorsement of his church of the modern dances, Mr. Hilyard became Luke-warm toward the church of his faith. For the past year he more regularly with his wife and sons, attend the services of Pilgrim Baptist church Mrs. Addie Crawford Minor, a staunch member of St. James A. M. K. church, and Director of Music of that church, is St. Paul's noted colored singer. She is a real "Black Patti." St Paul is a city of colored singers of renown. But Mrs. Minor excels them all. Like other great "stars" and teachers, many of the younger men and women of today, are pressing Mrs. Minor hard for the first place as a Vocalist. For ten years she was Music Director of the old Mother church, Pilgrim. The present Music Director filling the position held formerly by Mrs. Minor, is Mrs. Hattie E. W. H GREANE. SPARTA. Rev. J. A. Sherman, and his congregation of the A. M. E. connection worshipped with us Sunday night. Rev. Davis, has been preaching in our meeting for 12 days with a success of six converts and four addition. Rev. Will Jones, of Coolteville, was with us all day and reported a great success in a revival at his church with 14 converts up to date. Mrs. Anna Jones is in a Hop pitatal in St. Louis, where she was operated on. We hope for her a speedy recovery. Mrs. Elize Randall presented her husband with a fine baby boy last week.

Marion, Ill., March 16—Judge Slatex has granted injunctions against 40 property owners who have rented buildings to recently convicted bootleggers at Herran and the owners will be responsible for the future conduct of the houses. The Herrin bootleggers have been hit hard and for some time at most filled up the big jail at Marion. Injunctions were granted against Marion property owners about a year ago and as a result booze peddlers sell their goods from overcoat pockets, if doing business. WAS DOLLING UP HIS SWEETHEART Edd Barger, Colored Janitor At Mugge Store, Made Lavish Presents. Ed Barger, colored janitor at G. G. Mugg's store, was arrested Saturday on a charge of stealing goods, from the store, and now languishes in jail. Barger has been janitor for some time at the store and is said to have recently been caught taking articles from the store. It was learned by the officers that Barger had a sweetheart, and a search warrant was procured and the home of Laura Keen, in the Wilmoth addition was searched. Officers Medlin and King made the search and found all sorts of elks, fine hoisery, shirt waists, and ladies' wearing apparel. The officers arrested the Keen woman on a charge of receiving stolen goods and she filled a bond to await the action of, the grande jury. - Harrisburg Chronicle. DOSS BROYLES CAUGHT. Dos Broylee, of Brookport, who shot two white men and slightly Wounding them about the face in Brookport, last fall. Owing to the distance the shot scattered doing little harm. The shooting grew out of a scrap on the Paducah Ferry Boat while enroute to Brookport, that Broylee, was beat up by two or more whites during a "crap game" it was said. On arriving in Brookport, Broylee, secured a shot gun and used it as above stated. The marshal attempted to make the arrest but Broylee told him to "beat it" and Policeman Abel, played wife turned and walked off and gave Broylee chance to escape, and he has been at large every since until he was captured a few days ago in Tennessee, and brought here last Sunday and placed in the county jail. It is said that Broylee, is peaceable as long as whiskey is out or when mistreated. He has a good christian woman for a wife and some small children that are sufferers. Quite True. "I have to face the fact," mused the fashionable photographer, as he looked even more recent pictures, "that there are some very ugly fontures in this boudoir." century of the American government in Mexico, because every intelligent man in Mexico believed that the armed reason for the act was not the moral reason. The armed purpose was to compel a saint to the American flag. Three hundred Mexicans were reported killed; seventeen United States militaries were killed and many were wounded. At that very time Mr. Bryan, with the president's approval, was signing treaties with half the world agreeing that if any counterattack should arise it should be submitted to a joint commission and no action should be taken until after a full year and elapsed. This counterattack, slight as it was, showed on the 31st of April, and on the 1st of the same month Vera Cruz was taken. With the occupation of Vera Cruz the moral power of the United States in Mexico ended. We were then and we are now hated for what we did to Mexico, and we were then and we are now despised for our feeble and irresolute failure to protect the lives and rights of our citizens. No flag is so dishonored and no citizenship so little worth the claiming in Mexico as our. And that is why we have failed in Mexico. Policy of Weighted Waiting Percivalde so it seems, Huerta had been turned out by the assistance of the American government without any guarantees from the man who were to be set up in his place, and so the murdering and burning and ravishing have gone on to this day. After Huerta had fallen and the Wild Crane expedition had been withdrawn President Wilson announced that no one was entitled to interfere in the affairs of Mexico; that who was entitled to settle them herself. He declares all responsibility for what happens in Mexico and contents himself with a policy of wieldful writing. And for the death and entrapage, the suffering and pain of our own brothers, the hatred and contempt for our country and the disloyalty of our sense in that land the administration at Washington shares responsibility with the human bonds with whom it made common cause. When we turn to the administration's conduct of foreign affairs incident to the great war in Europe we cannot fall to perceive that there is much disclassification among Americans. Dissatisfaction in not in local guidance for condemnation. The situation caused by the way has been difficult and trying. Much of the correspondence of the state department, especially since Mr. Landing took charge, has been characterized by an unequivocal lauding and skilful statement of specific American rights. Three Errors in European Policy A study of the administration's policy toward Europe since July, 1934 reveals three fundamental errors: First, the lack of forewight to make timely provision for backing up American diplomacy by action or assured military and naval force; second, the forculture of the world's respect for our assertion of rights by pursuing the policy of making threats and failing to make them good; third, a loss of the moral forces of the civilized world through failure to truly interpret to the world the spirit of the American democracy in its attitude toward the terrible events which accompanied the early stages of the war. First, as to power: When the war in Europe began, free, peaceable Little Switzerland instantly mobilized upon her frontier a great array of trained citizen soldiers. Sturdy Little Holland did the same, and both have kept their territory and their independence inviolate. Great peaceable America was further removed from the conflict, but her trade and her citizens traveled on every sea. Ordinary knowledge of European affairs made it plain that the war was begun not by accident, but with purpose which would not soon be reimbursed. Ordinary knowledge of military events made it plain from the moment when the title of German invasion turned from the battle of the Marsei that the conflict was certain to be long and demosite. Ordinary knowledge of history—of our own history during the Napoleonic wars—made it plain that in that conflict natural rights would be worthless unless powerfully maintained. The Democratic government at Washington did not see it. Others saw it and their opinions found voice, like Gardner urged it, Mr. Lodge urged it, Mr. Stimmen urged it, Mr. Reesvall urged it, but their argument and urgency were ascribed to political motives, and the president described them with a sneer at nervous and excited. Wilson Hae Shifted Ground. But the warning voices would not be skilled. The opinion that we ought not longer to remain defenseless became public opinion. The expression grew more general and instant, and finally the president, not leading, but following, has shifted his ground, has revered his position and asks the country to prepare against war. God grant that he be not too late. But the Democrat's party has not shifted its ground. A large part of its members in congress are endorsing now to sidetrack the movement for national preparedness, to modify it by amendment and turn it into channels which will produce the least possible result. In the increase of national power of defense What sense of effectiveness in this effort can we gather from the presence of Jesseph Daniels at the most critical post of all—the head of the navy department—when we see that whose preparation has been possible it has not been made, when we see that construction of warships already authorized has not been pressed and in cases cases after long delay has not even been begun? If an increase of our country's power to defend itself against aggression is authorized by the present congress it must be largely through Republican votes, because all the traditions and convictions of that party are for national power and duty and honor. As to the policy of threatening words without deeds: When Germany gave notice of her purpose to sink more than vessels on the high seas without safeguarding the lives of innocent passengers our government on the 10th of February one year ago informed Germany in unanticipable terms that in attacking and sinking vessels of the United States and in destroying the lives of American citizens lawfully traveling upon unanticipable vessels of other countries she would not at her porch. They pledged the power and courage of America, with her hundred million people and her vast wealth, to the protection of her citizenship, as during all her history through the days of her youth and weakness she had protected them. On the 28th of March the passenger steamer Palabu was torpedoed by a German submarine and an American citizen was killed, but nothing was done. On the 28th of April the American vessel Crushing was attacked and crippled by a German aircraft. On the 1st of May the American vessel Gulftight was torpedoed and sank by a German submarine and two or more Americans were killed, yet nothing was done. On the 7th of May the Louisiana was torpedoed and sank by a German submarine and more than 100 Americans and 1,100 other noncontainees were drowned. The very thing which our government had warded Germany she must not do, Germany did of not purpose and in the most contemptuous and shocking way. Then, when all America was stirred to the depths, our government addressed another note to Germany. It repeated its assertion of American rights and renewed its hold declaration of purpose. It declared again that the American government "must hold the imperial German government to a strict accountability for any infringement of those rights, intentional or incidental," and is declared that it would not "suspect any武 or may or need to the performance of the sacred duty of maintaining the rights of the United States and its citizens and of safeguarding their free exercise and enjoyment." Still nothing was done and a long and technical correspondence must be bargaining over potty questions of destell, every American note growing less and less strong and persevering until the Arabie was torpedoed and snatched and move American lives were destroyed, and still nothing was done, and the correspondence continued until the allied defence against German submarine works made it unprofitable and led to the abandonment, and the correspondence is apparently approaching its end without securing even that partial protection for the future which might be found in an administration that the destruction of the Lusitania was forbidden by law. The later correspondence has been conducted by one state department with dignity, but it has been futile. An admission of liability for damages has been sworn, but the time for real protection to American rights has long since passed. The brave words with which we began the controversy had produced no effect, because they were used in the light of two extraordinary orders. One was the report of the Austrian ambassador, Mr. Dumba, to his government that when the American notes of Feb. 10 was received he enticed the secretary of state, Mr. Bryan, whether it meant business and received an answer which satisfied him that it did not, but was insured for effect on horse in America. The other event was the stranger and unfortunate declaration of the president in a public speech in Philadelphia the fourth day after the sinking of the Louisiana that "a man may be too proud to fight." Whatever the American ambassador was in fact told by the secretary of state, the impossibility which he reported was supported by the events which followed. Whatever the president did mean, his declaration rado in public at that moment time, and the horror and mourning of all our people over the murder of their children, was accepted the world over as presenting the attitude of the American government toward the protection of the life and liberty of Americans citizens in the exercise of their just right, and throughout the world the phrase "too proud to fight" became a byword of derision and contempt for the government of the United States. Later, in another theater of war—the Mediteranean—Austin, and perhaps Tukey also, remained the practice. Achy Joints Give Warning A creaky joint often predicts rain. It may also mean that the kidneys are not filtering the poisonous uric acid from the blood.

Operation Performed by Celebrated Surgeon Is Considered One of the Most Remarkable of Which There Is Any Record. A young man who had been severely burned by an explosion of gasoline went to Dr. John B. Murphy at Mercy Hospital in Chicago to see if his hands could be made useful again. So badly burned were they that their backs were a mass of hard scar tissue, which caused the fingers to retract and made it impossible to bend the fingers or close the hand. In the December number of the "Clinics of John B. Murphy" is an account of the extraordinary skin grafting operation by which Doctor Murphy restored power to the right hand. First he cut away all the scar tissue from the back of the hand right down to the sheaths of the tendons. Then he prepared a skin graft in the following way: He cut two deep slits in the skin Dr. John B. Murphy's Method of Grafting Skin on the Back of a hand. Dr. John B. Murphy's Method of Grafting Skin on the Back of a hand. and fat of the left side of the chest and abdomen, beginning about an inch below the nipple. He cut right down to the sheath of the rectus muscle, so as to include in the flap as much fat as possible, remarking to his students that it would be a failure unless plenty of fat was included. He brought the edges of the skin together underneath the flap and sewed them, leaving the flap like a bridge. He inserted the patient's hand under this bridge, with the palm against the abdomen and the raw surface of the back in contact with the under surface of the flap, and sewed the edges of the skin of the hand wound to the edges of the skin of the flap. He fastened the arm to the body with strips of adhesive plaster so that the patient could not move it. The wound was covered with plain sterile cotton so as to prevent infection. Three weeks later it was found that the graft had taken perfectly. It was then cut away from the body and the patient was discharged, with instructions to return in about eight months, when Doctor Murphy intends to perform another operation—elongating the tendons, which have contracted. The left hand is to be treated in a similar way. Seven Joys of Reading In "The Seven Joys of Reading," Mary Wright Plummer, principal of the Library school, New York public library, names the joy of familiarity first of all. "The joy of familiarity comes not alone from novels and poems. You can turn at the right moment—and there are mental as well as physical settings for such enjoyments to many an essay the pages of which show that that is where the book has been opened most often. "Don't say that you have not, more times than one, on a cold winter Sunday when dinner is later than usual, used The Dissertation on Roast Pig' as an appetizer. Or that you have not found satisfaction for an oft-recurring mood of wanting you know not what in some perfect piece of writing such as Pater's 'Child in the House.' Or that, feeling limp and tangled, you have not, time and again, breathed in Emerson's 'Self-Reliance' like a draft of salt sea air." . Grieves for Dead Horse. Her grief over a dead horse which she saw in East Thirty-fourth street cost a woman, who said she was Miss Mary Eliot, a trip to police station. The policeman who made the arrest thought the mourning was a menace to traffic, as it caused a crowd to collect. Miss Elliot explained she entertained a great affection for horses, and declared she was merely "trying to find the pulse of the dead horse" in the hope of finding traces of life. Captain Sexton, who was in charge of the desk at the police station when she was brought in, said he had a similar feeling of pity for dumb beasts, but said that such sentiment could not be permitted to obstruct traffic in the streets. However, the woman was discharged.—New York Dispatch Philadelphia North American. The Irony of Fate.

METROPOLIS. ILL. Jump from Bed in Morning and Drink Hot Water Jump from Bed in Morning and Drink Hot Water Tells why everyone should drink hot water each morning before breakfast. Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some days headache, dull and unstrung; some days really incapacitated by illness. If we all would practice inside-bathing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-cheeked people everywhere. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day's accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleepless nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much from your druggist or at the store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.-Adv.

MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS THEN YOUR BACK HURTS Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys if Bladder Bother You—Drink Lots of Water. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithis, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications—Adv.

I had thought China was a queer place and that the Chinese had queer customs, but China can't entertain on the same afternoon with India, Homer Croy writes in Leslie's. If someone had told me about their manners and customs before I got to India I would have laughed courteously and set him down in my little book. There are some things that a Hindu will do and some that he will not do; work is placed prominently on the latter list. One thing that a Hindu will not do is to play the flute. He would rather go to a flogging post than dash off a selection on a flute. But he will play a stringed instrument, called a vina, similar to the instrument played by David in the tent of Saul. This instrument looks as if it had originally been intended as a carpet stretcher, but had fallen into the hands of a musically inclined person who had borrowed a couple of piano wires and was determined to lower rents. After hearing an able-bodied Hindu pick on an instrument of this kind one can't help wishing that they would put it in the same class with the flute. A Hindu's idea of music is to make all the noise he can. He doesn't care anything about rhyme or rhythm; all his energy is expended in volume. Hindu musicians are all large, splendidly muscled fellows, who play as if they were going to gymnasium regularly. When one hears them playing on a vina one can't help wondering how David ever came to make such an impression on Saul. USE FOR THE BELGIAN HARE Little Animal May Be Made an Exceedingly Valuable Source of Food Supply. The Belgian hare is one of the best rabbits for table use. It weighs more than most breeds, develops very rapidly, and the quality of the meat is superior to all the others. The Flemish giant is a Belgian hare bred exclusively for large size, but with the result that the meat is coarser and less delicate in flavor. These characteristics are regarded by some persons as desirable, but this is largely a matter of individual taste. Most people would prefer the white, finer-grained flesh of the original Belgian hare. It should be remarked, however, that much of the excellence of the rabbit as food depends upon its cooking.

An especial requirement in cooking the Belgian hare is that none of the natural juices of the meat be lost in the process. Fringea of the Fleet. Recently Rudyard Kipling visited the fringes of the great battle fleet, the Unitys, Claribels, Stormcocks, once humble trawlers, now "On His Majesty's Service" and proud of their new positions; the E-1's, E-2's, E-2's, hogbacked submarines, and and the long, low destroyers, the spies of the sea and always in closest touch with the enemy. It is this fleet that keeps watch for submarines, sweeps channels clear of mines, patrols the coast for enemy cruisers. It keeps the sea in all weather, scorns "Fritz's" hidden dangers, traps his unwary U-boats. It is unheralded work, dangerous, but well done. Thanks to it, the great commerce of England goes on almost unmolested. In "The Fringes of the Fleet," a small volume similar to his "France at War," Mr. Kipling now describes the work of this heterogeneous but picturesque fleet. Complex Melting Pot. Hawaii's extraordinary complexity of races, brought about by induced immigration to meet the economic needs of the planters, makes the islands most interesting for study of problems of state, education and religion. Just as on the mainland, recently, some of the more perplexing phases of contiguity of persons of varied culture have been apparent, so in the Pacific outpost it is becoming necessary to know just how far there is unification and loyalty to a distinctly American ideal. There are 92,000 Japanese in the islands. If adults among them seek naturalization, as one now does with insistence, will they be admitted? So recognized, would they be welcomed to California?

Don't Neglect a Cold—It's Serious HILL'S CASCARA QUININE BROMIDE Doctor Ishikzu of the Tokyo Hygienic laboratory, who has been investigating the hot and mineral springs of Japan, with a view of ascertaining the quantity of radium contained in them, says that Japan is the richest radium country in the world. The cold mineral spring which hitherto has been considered to contain the largest quantity of radium is Joachimsthal, in Austria, which issues from a radium mine, and contains 2,000 maches of radium emanation. The doctor's investigation has revealed the fact that a mineral spring in Yamanashi prefecture is impregnated with 8,000 maches of radium-bearing waters.

Contributed by W. J. White, of the Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada.) I strolled into a bank in one of the cities of the west a short time ago and the bank manager said "after the war, the Canadians should be prepared for a great influx of people. The crops that the western Canadian farms have produced in 1915, and the wealth that the farmers have had thrust upon them by the high price of grain, will make farm lands valuable and farming remunerative. After the war is over there will be thousands go to Canada to engage in agriculture and many other industries that will certainly prove profitable. Conditions will be wonderfully good. The advertising that Canada has had during the last year, or two by its magnificent contribution of over 250,000 men to fight for the Empire, the wonderful sums it has given to the Red Cross and Patriotic funds, the excellent showing it made in subscribing over double when only 50 millions of dollars was asked as a war loan, the bravery, courage and hardihood of the soldiers who have fought the battles in Flanders, it is just wonderful," and my enthusiastic banker grew eloquent. One might have thought he was a subsidized booster for Canada. "But," he said, "they won't go until after the war." "Well, now, Mr. —, why wait until after the war? If all you say be true, and you have said nothing yet of the wonderful bank clearings of Canada today, nothing of the fact that the immense grain crop of Western Canada this year has given to every man, woman and child in that country, over three hundred dollars per head, why wait until after the war? After the war, under such conditions as you have pictured (and which are real) land values will go up, prices will increase. Advantage should be taken of the low prices at which these agricultural lands can be had today. They have not increased any as yet, and excellent farm lands can be had close to railways in old settlements, in excellent communities for from fifteen to thirty dollars per acre. The climate is good and will be no better after the war." "What about conscription, though? Is there not a danger from conscription, and should I advise any to go there now, would they not have to face it? Then, too, there is the report that there is a heavy war tax on lands." I was surprised to learn that these old yarns, stories that I thought had been exploded long ago, were still doing duty in many parts of the United States, and that a gentleman of the wide learning of my friend, was inclined to believe them. "Conscription!" I said. "With Canada contributing 250,000 men voluntarily enlisted, why conscription? There is no conscription in Canada, and neither will there be. It is not needed. In any case no legislation could be passed by the Dominion Parliament which would impose military service upon people who are not citizens of Canada, either by birth or naturalization. Settlers from the United States could not become naturalized British subjects until they and resided in Canada continuously for three years." I quoted from official documents. "In the first few months of the war I clearly stated that there would not be conscription in Canada. I repeat that statement today." "And then as to taxes," I continued, quoting again from official authority. "All taxes levied by the Federal Government take the indirect form of customs excise and inland revenue duties. It is untrue that farmers are paying direct war-tax levies and no intending settler need hesitate to come to Canada on this account. "Official dentals should convince you that all apprehensions which have been making some would-be settlers from the United States hesitate to make a change while the war lasts are without foundation. With these misunderstandings cleared up, the present war conditions even become an added inducement to settlement in any part of the provinces of western Canada, inasmuch as war prices and keen demands for all manner of farm products afford the farmer a special opportunity to make money." I was glad of the chance and pleased to have him state that his views had altogether changed. I could have continued, and told him of the fortunes that had been made in the season of 1915, out of farming, wheat growing, oat growing, barley growing, cattle raising, dairying and mixed farming. I could have told him of an Ottawa (Canada) syndicate that had a yield of 130 bushels of oats per acre from their farm at Wainwright and from 60 acres of wheat field they threshed over 60 bushels per acre. These yields, while phenomenal, were repeated in many portions of western Canada. It was interesting to inform him that the average yield of spring wheat in Sackatchowan was 25.16 bushels per acre; Manitoba, 26.3 bushels; in Alberta, 36.16 bushels, and over the three provinces there was a total average of over 30 bushels per acre. "The immense crop that has just been harvested has put millions of dollars in the hands of the farmers, and the work of distribution through the regular channels of trade has already begun. Millions of bushels of grain are still in the hands of the farmers, which means that there is a vast store of realizable wealth that will be steadily going into circulation, benefiting the thousands who are dependent indirectly on the basic industry of the province for their livelihood. "The mock prosperity that rested on the insecure foundation of inflated real estate values has passed away, and, in its place the corner stone of the country's sound financial future is being built. "The trust and mortgage companies, the large implement concerns and the wholesale merchants all tell the same story today of marked improvement in their business. The farmers and others are meeting their just dues and paying off debts that in many cases have been long overdue. Collections are better today than they have been since the most prosperous days of our history, and obligations are being met freely and promptly. "Now," I said, "why should they wait until the war is over?" And he agreed with me.—Advertisement. No Hone for Him Fair Visitor—What is this poor man in jail for? , Jailer—For wife murder, ma'am.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE METROPOLIS ILL CAP and BELLS GABRIEL TOOK HIS MEASURE Suppliant at Pearly Gates Had Not Played Summer Baseball, But Lied to Attendance Committee. The scene was that usual finale to earthly existence at which St. Peter passes upon those whose aviatory proclivities have progressed to the stage where they are suppliants for wings. An individual approaches the pearly gates. "Age, color and previous condition of servitude?" demanded St. Peter. "Twenty-two, white—I was a student at Ann Arbor." "Humph!" muttered St. Peter, and forthwith dispatched a night letter to his satanic majesty, whereat the imps prepared for another collegiate celebration. "Have you never sinned?" inquired the saint. "Ohce," came the confession. "Oh! so you played summer base ball?" snapped the heavenly guardian. "No. I lied to the attendance committee." St. Peter looked at the suppliant sternly.

Vap-O-Rub is the invention of a North Carolina druggist. It comes in salve form, and has a two-fold action—first, the body heat releases the ingredients in the form of vapors, that are inhaled with each breath—second, Vap-O-Rub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, aling the vapors inhaled to relieve the congestion. Mrs. James Hollens, 1928 Tracy Ave., has used Vick's herself for colds in the chest and asthma, and has also used it on her children, and "finds it excellent."

She also used on her four months old baby for cold and on the other children, and says—I find Vap-O-Rub does everything you say." Mrs. T. L. Marshall, 139 N.

We experienced high warer, a disagreeable winter, with little work here from July to the present time but we are still striving to meet our financial obligations and be able to complete our church this year. We would like to be inclosed for the bazaar rally. Our pastor Rev. J. B. McCrary, is a faithful servant and is turning every stone to help us to succeed, and if can only get some more financial backing, we will soon have one of the best church buildings in the Southern part of Illinois. He is held in high esteem by white and colored and Elder John Adams, pastor of the Baptist church, (white) speaks highly of Dr. McCrary and his commendable work here. and has promised him a nice large Bible for his pulpit and a member of the white Baptist church, has offered to present a fine altar for the new church.
