METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE POSTAL CLERK LYCHED. MOVE TO FREE 24TH INFANTRY MEN NOW IN PRISON. Move to Free 24. Inft. Men. HOUSTON, TEX. July 7.—The last issue of The Army and Navy Journal states that there is an organized movement to free all of the 24th Infantry who were adjudged guilty of participation in the raid on Houston, in August 1917. The Journal points out that an application for a writ of habeas corpus has been made before Judge John C. Pollock in the United States District Court in Kansas City. In behalf of the 39 soldiers who are now serving terms in the federal penitentiary at Fort Levenworth, 41 of these men were convicted at the time of the court martial but two have since died. The writ sets forth that the United States was not at war at the time of the raid and therefore the men were not guilty of violating any war law by the raid. FAKE NEGRO ATTACK ALTON, ILL., Two white girls, misteriously shot in Rock Springs Park, near here, calimed they had been shot by a Negro. They said they became frightened at sight of the Negro and started to run when they heard shots. One of the girls was asked to point out the exact spot where the shooting had occurred while the other girl was running. The evidence showed the girl to be shot in the breast while running in an opposite direction from the point where the woman insisted the shot had been fired. Equal Rights Resolution Presented to Illinois SRINGFIELD, ILL. July 7.—Edward H. Morris, the well known Colored lawyer of Chicago, presented to the constitution now in session in this city, a resolution last Wednesday, which aims to prevent the passage of discriminatory laws based on color or race. After a heated discussion an amended section was adopted which reads as follows: "The laws of this state shall be applicable alike to all citizens without regard to color or race, and no citizens shall be prohibited from doing anything that any other person may do, because or by reason of such citizen's color or race." Mr. Morris ranks high among the leaders in the convention and is making a splendid record in honor of his race. THE TRUE TEACER'S IDEALS AND ITS APPLICATION. Mrs. Hattie English, Carbondale, Ill. By the way of introducing my subject I should like to say the lives of Sunday school teachers outweigh their lessons, making a personal as well as a professional preparation peculiarly needful. The former by grace of Jesus Christ is free to all, the latter comes through study and experience to every one who deligently seeks it. By a little gymstematic study the teacher may largely increase his power, but he needs most of all a definite christian experience. Human improvement is from within outward. The great relationships of life are covered by godliness no merely acknowledgement of God but a life corresponding to this great confession. The ideals of christian living according to Peter are not fixed quantities, provision is made for progress. One of the ideals for those who have tasted the Lord is gracious, is growth, and christian is unto salvation. This growth finds its nourishment in the true doctrines of the gospel. Christian living is characterized by progress, steadfastness and sacrifice. Most of us attempt to choose a standard we like best and are more likely to live. The teacher must know the truths he teaches. He must know them experimentally. He who is unconverts cannot convert another. He may know little or much else, but one thing he must know that Jesus Christ is his own personal Saviour. Spiritually the teacher may be mighty in scripture as an Appollos yet he needs to knowthe way of God more perfectly. Nothing will take the place of that spiritual illumination which he must have. This comes directly from God through fixed conditions. As in takingfood there are three distinct processes, mastication, digestion and assimilation, so in Bible study there must be first original searching of the scripture, which is mastication, second prayerful meditation which is digestion; third: the purional acceptance by the teacher of the truth and its obligations which is assimulation. Whatever good in life we have acquired we must give it out to others. The greatest problem of church and Sunday school today as it faces the need of the young, especially the boys and girls of the adolescence period is the lack of trained leadership. The organized adult class movement has helped somewhat to solve the problem, but there is still great need of wide awake intelligent leadership for these years. The qualification required for teachers of intermediate, senior and young people's classes differ from those required for teachers in other departments. The fundamental qualifications such as christian character, human sympathy, faithfulness, etc. are essential as in other departments but the successful teacher of adolescents must have in addition, intelligent insight into boy and girl life, initiative, consecration and adequate preparation. The future of boys and girls work lies in the hands of the adult leader. The adult leader of the young is not the man or woman who refuses to let them do anything, neither is he the person who does everything for them, we must cooperate with these boys and girls. Through good books, different kinds of literature, a new awakening is thus came to arouse the young to life's decision in their youth. Few decisions for Christ are never made after the person is grown. Habits by that time have become formed and the channels through which life's activities shall flow have largely been made. The boys and girls should have instructions on how to become a christian. If they are not willing to become christians at this age then some one is failing somewhere. The natural thing for 99 per cent of the boys and girls to do is to accept Christ as their personal Saviour, and obey the gospel. It is just as natural for the child's faith to Christ as for a flower to turn toward the sun. Few parents will object to their children of Junior age becoming christians it they are quite sure the child is taking the step thoughtfully. If they know the minister or some other consecrated person has carefully instructed the child in the steps of obedience to the gospel, they give their consent for the child's christian decision and rejoice in it. In some instances the child receives instruction at home. Our strength to morrow lies in the child to day. By saving them now before they go astray fewer fathers and mothers will be saying where is my wondering boy tonight. So each teacher must realize his duty to himself and others. Let the Bible be the teacher's text book. The Bible's divine commentator is the Holy Spirit. Study the Bible composition; geography, history, doctrine. Make the preparation general as well as specific, plan the lesson in order to train toward practical morality. Sabbath observance, purity, good citizenship, Christianity. Aim to hold the scholars' attention, fix the essential truts of the lesson in mind and apply it personally to the life. Simple questions may be asked work should be given that would involve the reading of the lesson, condense the subject matter, arrange it, simplyfy the same. The preparation should be lowered to the level of the lesson, giving each its due portion of time. A decision should be made as to what appli-cation you shall make of the lesson as to your own iife, then to your pupils. Pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance. He shall bring all things to your remembrance. Note, republished for those who failed to receive copies, as the demand was so great.—Ed Attorney John H. Searing. Announces. Attorney John H. Searing who is a candidate for State's Attorney of Jackson County subject to the Republican Primaries is an ex-service man having served in France in the 325 Machine Gun Battallion as a private and also as sergeant. He graduated from the Carbondale, Normal school in 1911 and later graduated from the Northwestern law school at Chicago, and passed the Illinois Bar in 1915. He has practiced his profession in Carbondale until he was called to the colors and after serving nearly two years in the army in this country and France has resumed his practice. Mr. Searing is a very capable man and has been very friendly to the colored race and the most recent service that he has rendered to the colored race was in the nature of an appointment which he obtained for Dr. Theodore Holland of Carbondale, who is the Colored Dentist of Carbondale. This appointment permits Dr. Holland to take care of all the colored soldier's teeth without charge to the soldiers but Dr. Hollond, draws his pay from the government. This is the first real recognition that the colored race has obtained in Jackson county and it was obtained trough the personal interest taken by Mr. Searing. Mr. Searing has always been a Republican and his grandfather was in the Civil war. The Searing family have a great many personal friends among the younger and older men here of the colored race.

We pity that soul whose religion will not bind him sufficiently strong enough to enable him to rise above his evil companions sufficiently high and long enough to allow his light, (life) to shine forth to illuminate the pathway of some poor sinner that will lead him into that path that shines more and more until the perfect day We have, several good preachers that are idle that would make good pastors if they were given a chance. Every church large or small should have a pastor, and carry out the great commission of Jesus. Ye should be doers of his word and not hearers only. Heed this message and herald it to the lost and benighted world. Every church door in Southern Illinois should be thrown open at least twice every Sunday that the gospel might be preached to every creature. Let none hear you idly saying there is nothing you can do while the souls of men are dying all around you without any hope for the future life and happiness. Any church needing a good pastor and a splendid preacher, a man of high ideals and broad vision, we can recommend Rev. Jno. Bruen, of Mt. Vernon, Ill., who successfully pastored Shiloh Baptist church of that city for 5 consecutive years. His address is 1011 Herbert, St. The old Mt. Olive has a foundation and a record behind it, as it was founded on solid facts and not on hate and misrepresentation. Its early founders stood for something in the days of yore.

Unfortunately, ae aln’t no such “animal.” If a porterhouse steer could be developed by a live stock Luther Burbank, we could all have porter fhouse or sirloin steaks and rolled Fonsts from the first and second ribs ‘—next to the loin, and therefore most expensive, as your butcher will tell you. ' Nearly everybody wants high-grade ‘cuts, but there aren't enough ribs and Joins to go around. These cuts com- pose but 27 percent of the carcass, the loin constituting 18 per cent. ‘What's the answer? If people would buy more chucke—they make excellent stenks—or briskets and clods (all fore- quarter cuts) there would be cheaper sirloin and porterhouse steaks. Ask your butcher or food economist about the possibilities of the fore quarter, also cheap cuts from the hind quarter. ‘Phen there is the flank, Ever eat a good flank steak? It possesses a flavor that cannot be duplicated. The full flank composes 4 per cent of the beef efrenss, the equate-cit chuck about 2 per cent. In New York and other Eastern cit: fes far removed ‘from the packing House center, ribs and lolns can be fold at lower prices than in Illinois, be- cause of the heavy demand by the for ‘elgn-born population for rounds, chuéks, rump and other cuts less pop- ular in the West.

There in a large vartety of extra portions that many housewives know little ‘bout, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, Inngs and sweetbreads. But you must know something about beef cuts to know what to buy and how to buy. Then you can neglect the costly steaks for the time and return to them when the price has been equal- twed by the more general buying of the less-familiar cuts.

It has been a contention of the retailer for years that a great part of the fore quarter—the neck, shoulder, shank and breast—must be sold at 9 loss or eventually reach the scrap or bong box. Some retail butchers bone out these cheap fore-quarter cuts, put them through the ment grinder, seaeon them and moi them up into lamb patties, putting strip of bacon around each ‘ong, leave them in the cooler over ‘night and sell all of them next day at g000 prices.
