WHILE WE SLEEP, OTHERS ARM EXTRACTS FROM AN ADDRESS BY JOHN MAYNARD MARLAN, CANDIDATE FOR DELEGATE A T LARGE TO REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION War breeds war. The rich and defenseless nation will always fall a proy to hungry war-trained neighbors. That is the lesson of history. But it is not only from that circumstance that danger arises to the people of the United States. We have an unsettled dispute with Japan which antedates the war in Europe. That dispute is as to the terms upon which the people of Japan may come to this country, and own to do business here. That dispute touches the national pride, false says that discipline is part against Japanese immigrants is an attack to her national honor. That is the sort of dispute which may flash into war at any moment. Japan must find an outlet for her surplus population. Her people are free to migrate into China and Korea. But they do not wish to do so. The inhabitants of China and Korea have a lower standard of living than the people of Japan. Japanese, migrating to Korea and China, cannot compete industrially with the natives. They can, on the other hand, go to California and, even after raising the standard of living to which they have been accustomed in Japan, can defeat our people in industrial competition. Japan is building twelve new battleships. Every shipyard in Japan is operating at high pressure. Portthree merchantmen are now on the waves in the Japanese shipyards. Japan is making ready at the least to dispute commercial supremacy in the Pacific with us. Also she is increasing an already large transport fleet by which her war-trained troops might be brought to our shores. That may be merely incidental to her commercial ambition. It may be due to design. At all events, it is a fact. And expert German naval opinion is that Japan is right now preparing deliberately to attack us. There is in Japan a party openly hostile to the United States. Only last month Japan established military education and training in all her universities. She is avowedly preparing against a possible shortage of junior officers in case of war. War with whom? The Japanese are a wily people. They gave no notice to Russia before they attacked it. Viscount Chinde, Ambassador from Japan, recently called at our State Department. He intimated rather pointedly that we are not making satisfactory progress in settling our differences with his country about the question of immigration and land ownership. Is it due merely to chance that Japan's stimulation of that controversy falls at a time when our State Department has its hands full, or more than full, with disputes with both England and Germany as to the freedom of the seas? Or does Japan see that our diplomacy is weak, that it has all but broken down completely, and that the present is an ultimatum to Japan? Or does the delivery of an ultimatum shall be invited by our continual failure to put ourselves in readiness to repel successful attack? Ask the people of the Pacific Coast what they think of the necessity of preparing against the day of war with Japan. Our General Staff told us, before the present war began, that Great Britain could land one hundred and seventy thousand men from the British Isles upon our coast inside a fortnight. What could she do now, since the British Isles have been turned into an armed camp? What could she do after the present war shall have ended? One hundred and seventy thousand men will then be for Great Britain merely a "color guard," relatively speaking. Our defenselessness is utter, object. Admiral Dewey, not long since, wrote to Augustus P. Gardner, Congressman from Massachusetts: "I bog to acknowledge the receipt of your letter * * * asking me to write you, setting forth my views on the question of the possibility of large hostile forces landing on our coast, and inviting my attention to an article by Eric Fisher Wood. The part of the Atlantic Coast mentioned in Mr. Wood's article extends from Eastport, Me, to Cape Henry, Virginia. * * * It is true that a large hostile force can land on the open coast wherever transports can get within reasonable distance of the shore, especially so where their landing is covered by the gunfire of the naval escort, even though the landing be opposed by troops. * * * From Eastport, Me., to Cape Henry, Va., there are but few places where large ships cannot approach to within two miles of the coast. They would prefer to land where there are no railroads, and good roads leading to their objective, which would probably be one of our large cities. Such places are numerous along the coast of Massachusetts, both shores of Massachusetts Bay, the eastern and southern shores of Long Island, and the Delaware and Chesapeake bays. Our main defense and protection from invasion must always rest with the navy which must ever remain our first and best line of defense. This defense, unless adequate, is impotent; and as before stated, adequacy is not reached until the navy is strong enough to meet on equal terms the navy of the strongest possible adversary." who have gone from their homes to the long peace, while we have waited and waited and vainly sent winged words against flying bullets and meauring out-throats. Is the Rio Grande a barrier against even a contemptible foe? And are the foes from that quarter likely always to prove contemptible? Who does not remember Magdalena Bay? Who does not remember the recent activity of Japan in that quarter? Our timorous inquiry as to what Japan intended when she sent outroads to that region is fresh in the minds of all. Japan is getting ready, probably all but ready. We wake up enough, when she becomes too aggressive, to ask her what she means. She gives us a soft and blandish answer. We retire to sleep. She works on. Our navy in the Pacific is admittedly a derision. We dare not remove our Atlantic navy from its station. Japan will swarm over our southern border, as and when she wishes, unless we wake up, and wake up at once. But Japan is not the only first class power from which we may reasonably expect a blow from the south. Watchful waiting has resulted in the killing in Mexico of the nationals of many European governments. By failing to prevent that, we have prevailed European governments to intervene in Mexico and challenge the Monroe Doctrine. Who can say that such intervention will not come? Are we prepared to resist the landing of an European host at Vera Crun? If it shall land, will we stay its progress northward, to the Canadian line? How is it in the north? Canada abides by her mother's side. She has already sent a respectable army to Europe. Those troops have awakened the astonished admiration of the world by their valor. Canada plans to send half a million men to the front. She probably has that number in training now. The end of the European war will find us with at least a quarter of a million trained, equipped, and warried veteran Canadian troops on our northern border. Is that border defended by forts? Have we an army to defend it? Let not the middle west smugly think that whatsoever comes, it cannot be harmed or marred. Under the present conditions, an invading army from Canada could come by land and by water, and lay waste Illinois from Chicago to Cairo. It would hardly need have a "hospital call," so far as the risk of casualties from firearms is concerned. Illinois, and the whole middle west, are as much concerned with the question of prep. rod-ness for defense, as are the Atlantic and the Pacific seaboards. This country is indivisible in vulnerability, as in every other attribute. It must all stand, or all fall. The people of the United States must set their house in order. They must prepare to defend themselves as against instant assault. No man can tell when the hour of our infidel need may strike. But strike it surely will, unless we prepare ourselves for self-defense. We must not listen to the quixotic advice of the pacifista. They say that the United States will never be attacked. If attacked, they say, the call would go forth from the government for defenders at sunrise, and find an efficient army of a million men in arms at sunset. That is downright twaddle. The clear lessons of history are directly to the contrary. Equally it is nonsense to say, as the pacifists say, that the United States must not increase her military establishment to a point adequate for defense, lest thereby she might be tempted into aggressive warfare. As well argue that a man must not be frugal and provident, lest having accumulated a saving thereby, he might be tempted into extravagance and riotous living. The pacifists are old familiars. We have known their tribal ancestors, and their family names, for generations. They got into that Blue Book known as Pilgrina's Progress upwards of a couple of centuries ago. Christian met them on his pilgrimage. Two of them were named respectively "Simple" and "Sloth." Those men Christian found asleep in a place of extreme danger upon their beds. He awakened them, and offered to help them off with their irons. "Simple" said, "I see no danger." "Sloth" said, "Yet a little more sleep." And so they went asleep again, and Christain went on his way. Another named "Mistrust" sought to turn Christian back from the way to salvation. He said, "Just before us lie a couple of lions in the way, whether sleeping or waking we know not; and we could not think, if we came within reach, but they would presently pull us in pieces." But Christian went on. When he came to the lions, and was frightened, a man named "Watchful" said to him: "Fear not the Hone, for they are chained, and are placed there for trial of faith where it is, and for discovery of those that have none; keep in the midst of the path and no hurt shall come unto thee." So Christian got by the lions; "he heard them roar, but they did him no harm." We must not listen to the linear descendants of "Simple," "Sloth," and "Mistrust." We must not be it" to see the woman --- EROOKPORT NEWS. Sunday was a high day with us. We had S. S. Sundy at 9:30 a. m. our Supt. Bro. J. H. Flowers, was absent on the account of the death of his sister, Mrs Mattie Martin. In the afternoon at 2:00 the funeral of Sister Mattie, was attended, at Unity Baptist church of which she was a member. The pastor Rev. J. B. McCrary, officiated. This was the largest funeral that has been in Brookport for some time, as the people in Brookport, and Belgrade turned out in large numbers to pay their respects to the deceased and relatives Rev. McCrary, was at his best and an impressive sermon was delivered from Job 30:23. Many compliments were paid him for the manner in which he handled the subject and the eulogy paid the deceased. Mrs. Mary Flowers, and three daughters of Lake County Tenn., were called to Brookport, Friday on the account of the death of the former's daughter and the latter's sister Mrs. Matie Martin. Thos. Flowers, of St. Louis, was called home on the account of the death of his sister.

Everyone Should Drink Hot Water in the Morning Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before breakfast. To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipation, billious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well-known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your druggist or at the store. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your system of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an accumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys, and bowels.—Ady. Taking a Short Cut. "I'm perfectly willing to help you," said the practical philanthropist, "but you ought to try to help yourself when the occasion presents itself."

There's no longer the slightest need of feeling ashamed of your freckles, as the skin has become so smooth that guaranteed to remove these homely spots. Simply get an ounce of othine—double strength—from your druggist, and apply a few drops of lotion. You should soon see that even the worst freckles have begun to disappear, while the lighter ones have vanished entirely.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table-spoonful 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 acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.—Adv. Table Wit. "I can't reach the sausage."

INVENTORS AT WORK American Brain Keeps Busy All the Time. Forty Thousand Patents Issued at Washington Last Year—Some Immensely Valuable Ideas Among Them—Life-Saving Float. Forty thousand patents were granted by the United States patent office at Washington during 1915, an average of 800 a week. These ranged from duplex voting machines to fishhooks, with a heterogeneous number of wonderfully and mysteriously contrived appliances in between. Linn Eugene Carpenter of East Orange, N. J., obtained a patent for a new sort of cheese. It has its mass interspersed throughout by commi- Walter Lindemann of Detroit, Mich., patented a new type of life-saving-float calculated to appeal to the submarine-haunted transatlantic traveler of today. Mr. Lindemann's device is a combined mattress and raft and free-lunch counter. The mattress fits into the sleeping berth and is quite comfortable to sleep on. But suppose the ship should be torpedoed! The passenger goes overboard with a removable section of his mattress and finds himself safe for the time being, at least. The mattress is partially filled with cork to make it buoyant. It has a seat for the accommodation of the escaping passenger, and is equipped with a tank of fresh water, cans of food, small electric batteries, an incandescent lamp for signaling at night, a telescopic rod or mast to hoist the lamp at night and a flag by day, and a waterproof, flexible water closure or jacket that can be fastened by a drawstring around the body of the ship-wrecked mariner. This keeps him high and dry. Another advantage of this float type of life-saving device is that it is of sufficient buoyancy to support its main occupant and in addition lend possible assistance to others overboard who are not so well provisioned for the emergency. Then there's the electric umbrella, patented by Frank W. Smithing of Ontonagon, Mich. At first glance it looks like an ordinary umbrella and it is used in the ordinary way. But if the night be dark, just press a button in the handle and the umbrella glows with tiny incandescent electric lights. There are lights at the butt, the top and at the ends of the ribs. Among other interesting patents issued during 1915 are the following: A talking doll; by pressing the stomach of the doll you cause sounds to issue from the mouth. A combination penholder and blotter. A tobacco-pipe filler. The tobacco is contained in the cylinder and the large end of the filler is inserted in the bowl of the pipe. A plunger at the top HELP! New Patent Fly Catcher Which Simply Catches the Fly on the Fly and Blows Him Into a Trap. is then forced down, thus pushing the tobacco into the pipe. An under-water operated musical apparatus. A man is lowered into a well, where he plays the horn. A necktie former. An insect trap. The insect, when passing between the motor on the left, is blown into the trap on the right. An ornamental design for a "stop, look and listen" sign. A sanitary shaving brush, having sponge instead of bristles, and having the soap contained in the handle. A fly-catching machine. A device for rendering harmless the points of hat or bonnet pins. A device for fastening button shoes. Effects on Light. No influence of any form of attraction on light had ever been noticed until about twenty years ago, when Zeemann showed that a powerful magnet visibly altered the position of certain lines in the spectrum. Now it appears likely that gravitation has a similar, though not the same, effect. Magnetism splits up the spectral lines, exerting a broadening effect, while gravitation shifts them all alike in one direction. For instance, in the solar spectrum, whose rays at their origin have passed through the powerful field of gravity in the sun's vicinity, all the lines appear shifted toward the red, as compared with similar lines from terrestrial light. "I sentence you to three days' imprisonment," said the judge. "By the way, your face seems familiar. Haven't I seen you before?" "Yes, your honor," replied the prisoner. "I'm the man who did the interior decorating in your house." "Ah, yes, now I remember. Did I say three days? Well, just make that sentence three years instead." METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL No War Tax on Land—Embargo on Shipment of Live Stock Removed. During the prevalence of the foot-and-mouth disease in some portions of the United States, an embargo was placed upon inter-state shipments. This also had an effect upon shipments to Canada, and necessarily an embargo was placed upon them making it almost impossible for upwards of a year to ship cattle into Canada, from the United States. This was especially hard on the settler. As a result, Western Canada lost a number of settlers, they being unable to take their live stock with them. Canada is practically free from horse and cattle diseases, and the wish of the authorities is to keep it so. Recently, though, an order has been issued by the Department of Agriculture, removing the embargo, and settlers are now free to take in the number of head of horses or cattle that are permitted by the Customs authorities and the freight regulations. This will be welcome news to those whose intention it is to move to Canada, taking with them stock that they have had in their possession for six months, and which it is the intention to use on land that they will farm in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta. There are thousands of splendid homesteads of 160 acres each in any of these provinces, that may be had upon the payment of a ten-dollar entry fee and fulfilling the requisite living and cultivation duties. These lands are well adapted to the growing of all the small grains, and besides, having an abundance of grass, and sufficient shelter, they are well adapted to the raising of stock. If one prepares to purchase land, there could be no better time than the present. Prices are low, and particulars may be had from any of the land companies, of which there are several, or from the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern railways, whose holdings are in the older settled districts, and whose terms are exceedingly easy to the settler. What these lands will do in the matter of production cannot be more strongly emphasized than in reading the reports of the crops throughout all parts of the Canadian West in 1915. Yields of 50, 60, and as high as 70 bushels of wheat to the acre were numerous, while reports of yields of from 30 to 45 bushels per acre were common. Oats as high as 120 bushels per acre are reported, 50 and 60 bushels per acre being ordinary. The prices realized by farmers have placed most of them on "easy street." Lately there have appeared articles in a number of United States newspapers to the effect that there was conscription in Canada, or that such a law was likely to be put into effect. We have it from the highest authority in the Dominion that there is no truth in the statement. Sir Robert Borden at the opening of Canadian parliament on January 17th, said: "In the first few months of the war I clearly stated that there would not be conscription in Canada. I repeat that statement today." This statement should set at rest the conscription talk that has been so freely used to influence those who may be considering settling in Canada during the war. It has also been said that there was a war tax on land. Hon. Dr. Roche, Minister of the Interior, over his own signature has denied this, and the premiers of the different provinces join in saying "such a report is absolutely untrue, and has no foundation what ever in fact, nor is there likely ever to be any such tax upon land in Canada." The general prosperity of Western Canada farmers and business institutions is such that Canada is well able to take care of the extra war expenses without any direct war taxation. This has been well illustrated by the magnificent response to the Dominion Government's recent bond issue, which was more than doubly subscribed for within the first eight hours of its being offered to the public. (The above appears as an advertisement and is paid for by the Dominion Government which authorizes its publication.) I never knew a man who could chew tobacco gracefully. HOW A DRUGGIST CURED For the past twenty-four years I have been selling Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root with excellent satisfaction to my customers who have used it. They are always pleased with the results obtained from the treatment and are ready for preparation.

Regular fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles for sale at all drug stores.-Adv. IS CHILD CROSS FEVERISH, SICK Look, Mother! If tongue is coated, give "California Syrup of Figs." Children love this "fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely. A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is they become tightly clogged with waste. Liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system act of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother!

Hot baths and nail-brushes figure prominently in a certain army order issued to the French cooks entrusted with the preparation of meals for the youngest class of soldiers, aged nineteen, who have just been called up for their training. The following are sample regulations posted up in the barracks: Cooks must take a hot bath, with soap, every morning. Before serving soup they must wash their hands in hot water. Every evening when the work is over they must wash their hands and arms in hot water and carefully brush their nails. A plentiful supply of mottled soap and nail-brushes will be distributed. The hair must be kept close cropped. White linen overalls and caps are to be worn in the kitchen by cooks, who must change them three times a week. Before sitting down to table they must scrub their hands with hot water, soap and a nail-brush. Profiting by Europe's War. In 1912 the value of laces imported into this country amounted to a little over $38,000,000; in 1913 about $44,250,000 worth of laces was imported, and in 1914 the importations dropped considerably, the amount being between $26,000,000 and $27,000,000. The sharp decline in the amount of laces imported in 1914 was undoubtedly due to the war in Europe, and this condition undoubtedly worked to the advantage of domestic manufacturers. Figures are not available in regard to the importation of laces for 1915, but undoubtedly they are far below normal because of the existing conditions in Europe and also on account of the rapid strides the industry has made in this country, together with the increased quantity of laces manufactured here. Smokeless Powder Making Booms. Smokeless powder is being manufactured in larger quantities in the United States than at any other period in the nation's history, Census Director Rogers announced. The outbreak of the European war gave a great impetus to production. Latest statistics compiled reveal that production a year ago passed the 25,000,000-pound mark, the figures representing the output of both private and government-owned establishments. At present, with scores of new explosive plants running full blast, experts say that production can be conservatively estimated at 50,000,000 pounds a year. Waterproof Cement It is said that the United States army engineers have long used the following mixture for waterproofing cement: One part of cement, two parts of sand, three-quarters of a pound of dry powdered alum to each cubic foot of sand. These are mixed and dried, and to them is added water in which has been dissolved three-quarters of a pound of soap to each gallon. This, it is said, is nearly as strong as ordinary cement, is quite impervious to water, and does not efflorescence.

Slushy sidewalks, dampness, raw winds and sudden changes cause chills and colds. And chills or colds tend to hurt the kidneys. It is good sense to use a kidney remedy when recovering from a cold and at any time when suffering from a lame back, sharp pains when stooping or lifting, dizzy spells, irregular or annoying kidney action, and a run-down, nervous state. Don't delay and take a chance of getting dropsy, gravel, Bright's disease or some other serious kidney disease. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the best-recommended, special kidney remedy.

Intelligent mothers everywhere realize that little children should be dosed sparingly, and yet some treatment for cold troubles is necessary. Joplin, Mo., mothers have solved this problem by the use of Vap-O-Rub. This is the "external". Southern treatment introduced here last winter. Applied at night over the throat and chest, the heat of the body releases the ingredients in the form of vapors, and thus the medication is inhaled with each breath through the air passages to the lungs. Vap-O-Rub gives quicker relief than internal medicines, and can be used freely with perfect safety on the smallest child.

It is wonderful how stempers, no matter how colts or horses METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Twenty-five years ago Booker T. Washington devised a plan to call the Negro farmers of Alabama, Georgia and other states together once a year for a conference. This conference had been so far-reaching in usefulness that before his death he had planned the program for the "farmers' conference" of 1916. Wednesday, January 19, was conference day, and there were farmers from all over the southern states, and many from the North and West. Negroes who owned their land, and who had been successful, and others who wanted the experience lessons in order for greater success for their own efforts, writes Mrs. J. B. Reid in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. The crowd was tremendous. It was estimated that there were as many as three thousand Negroes present at dinner on the lawn, where a barbecue had been arranged, and a bountiful dinner served in picnic style. It was a wonderful sight to behold, and the portion of the grounds designated for "hitching places" looked like the scenes on the old-time camp-meeting grounds. There were many white people in attendance, men and women; in fact, it was a tremendous demonstration of interest in the best methods of farming and home improvement. There were many speakers from among the Negroes telling of practical experiences and of experiments. The boll weevil seems to be the most formidable enemy in every section, and he is usually the conqueror. Nothing said or tried seemed to destroy his appearance. Each farmer starting out as if he had the remedy, but the final result only proved there is but one way from the destructive power, and that was "raise a diversified crop, have more stock and feed the home markets." This is only the extension and purpose of the spirit of Tuskegee institute. The Negro is a natural farmer. He loves the soil and the sunshine—and that they are buying homes and using modern methods is an assurance that they are beginning to be more thrifty, and are being benefited by the encouragement and training they have been given. I had a keen desire to spend a few days in Alabama's most wonderful workshop, and this was an opportunity. The invitation came to be among their white friends for the conference, and I spent three days most profitably within the inclosure of the institution—going every minute, and even then left much to be seen, although this was my second visit. The spirit of Booker T. Washington lives among the teachers and students; there was evidenced the one great purpose—tolling for service and stronger citizenship—in answer to his call. There are there now 1,620 students enrolled, 60 per cent of whom are boys, each one learning a trade. Think of what an impetus to labor in the preparation for the better workmanship. Each girl is compelled to learn domestic work—cooking, sewing, washing and household work—and economy is their watchword in these lessons. The entire student body works as one man. Speaking of economy and figuring on good management, the arithmetic used in the school was compiled by a former pupil. The lessons are based on the direct management, income and disbursement of the institute during the year of 1911. Calculating the in- At a special meeting of the Washington branch of the National Negro Business league, held at Washington, a committee was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sorrow of the organization over the death of the founder of the league, Dr. Booker T. Washington. A recommendation was adopted, to be laid before the executive committee of the National Negro Business league, urging the setting apart of a "national Booker T. Washington day," on which occasion each year the colored people all over the land would assemble in their churches, schoolhouses and other public places and emphasize the constructive work done by the deceased for the intellectual, commercial, economic and social uplift of his race. A second recommendation was ordered to be sent for the consideration of the executive committee of the parent body, to the effect "that it is the sense of the local league that a suitable monument should be erected to the memory of Booker T. Washington; that such a movement should be fostered by the National Negro Busi- According to the Dutch legation in Stockholm, an extensive aluminum smelter is being organized at Hoyanfjord, Norway, where there is a waterfall which may supply 90,000-horsepower. It is proposed to develop 20,000-horsepower at once, to provide for the production of 4,000 tons of aluminum a year. The capital stock of the company is fixed at $3,350,000, of which $2,680,000 is subscribed. Pneumatic balls as well as springs support a new bicycle saddle. come from products of all departments, expenditures, insurance, loss and profit, etc. Thus every arithmetic class knows the detail business of the school for that year. As the lesson is local, there is more interest in the study. These figures can be obtained for every day of the year now—for instance, I have before me today the report for January 15, 1916. This report is placed on the desk of John H. Washington, director of industries, and furnishes some interesting facts as regards the detail management of the department, upon which depends the supplies for the table, and buildings and financial success of the institution. There were 78,911 pounds of coal used in 24 hours at a cost of $2.91 a ton. On January 15 there were 9,825 gallons of milk, containing 5.2 per cent fat, milked and 10 gallons bought extra from farmers. A milk wagon twice a day supply many families in Tuskegee, and there is also a bread and vegetable wagon operated each day from the bakery and garden. Bought from farmers same day, 20 gallons of skim milk and 10 gallons of cream. Churned 200 pounds of cream, test 30 per cent fat; made 75 pounds butter. Number of dairy cattle on hand, 162; amount of feed used for the day, 250 pounds of cottonseed meal, 25 pounds of oats, 25 pounds bran, 700 pounds of hulls, 700 pounds hay, 1,500 pounds silage. In the poultry yards there are 583 hens and 51 cocks; 29 dozen eggs laid that day. This is only to give an idea of the details and careful attention given each department each day; as each department submits an accurate report daily. Another feature of the industry, the institute buys from farmers, white and colored, their surplus, and thus furnishes to them a market and encourages other industry. A cannery for the preservation of their own products is operated, and other growers are encouraged to plant and cultivate a bountiful supply by an arrangement to use the cannery on shares. Every boy or girl near by can make their extra dimes by supplying this market with berries in season, to be preserved for winter. Much canned stuff, with the Tuskegee institute brand, is shipped each year. Rev. Dr. M. H. Harris, in a sermon at Temple Israel, in Harlem, paid a high tribute to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Negro educator, in which he reviewed his life and dwelt on the lessons to be learned therefrom. "He not only sought to deepen the respect of the Caucasian for the Negro," he said, "but one of the highest purposes of the Tuskegee Institute was to awaken the respect of the Negro for his own people. For he had found now and then a scorn of the black for the black—a desire, though unavailing, to get away from his own. He taught this lesson by example. He showed them that he, a Negro, was just as proud of being a Negro as a white mar could be of being of the white race." In conclusion Doctor Harris said: "Is not his biography one to inspire the youth of the land? That he, with all his disadvantages, achieved so much, should not I, with my opportunities, do something worth while in the world? A great man helps us all to come nearer to greatness." ness league, under the sanction of the family of the deceased leader and the trustees of Tuskegee institute, and that the local league pledges its heartiest co-operation with the national league in a movement looking toward that end."

"The average man is said to consume a thousand pounds of food a year." "He couldn't do it at our boarding house." A NEW DISCOVERY "Anuric" is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who is head of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. Experiments at Dr. Pierce's Hospital for several years proved that "Anuric" is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation—as backache, scalding urine and frequent urination, as well as sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply wonderful how surely "Anuric" acts; and in gravel and gout, invariably the pains and stiffness rapidly disappear. Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for a 50-cent package of "Anuric," or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. YUBLESEED ON PRAY BT THE GAZETTE PRINTING SO. wetpopouis, - = + + + ML. MRS.M. J.
