The Executive board of the E. Mt. Olive Baptist Association closed a profitable session with the New Bethel Baptist church of which Elder A. R. McKee is pastor. Elder W. H. Carter and some of his people played a splendid part. Elders C. W. Cole, C. W. Norment and Missionary, T. Turner, came up to the work of the "Mighty." The following brethren, as we remember were present: Drs. G. W. Dorsey, of Carbondale; W. P. Washington, Decatur; Elders A. R. McKee, A. J. Bowers, Carbondale; S. H. Pruitt, Duquoin; D. L. Braxton, Moderator, J. D. Davis, Colp; Dr. H. C. Arm-stead, Pulaski; and the writer. There was not a sign board preacher on the scene. They have learned that "He who would do good must not only point out the way, but must lead the way." They did this by laying down the $1. We have lived long enough to see a number of the Baptist family to lay down dollars where they used to lay down dimes. Moderator J. D. Davis, recommended a plan by which One Thousand Dollars can be raised this associational year, and that is, each and every one contribute the sum of one dollar for the purpose of stopping the moutn of careless inquirer; who has been often heard to say, what are they going to do with so much money? It is for the District, State Home, Foreign Missions, and Education, etc. Every minister present heartily approved of the recommendation. A number of churches co-operated in the Mission work at the Board meeting, the largest number that we can recall. Of course the Brethren that were present are expected to do their bit between now and the next board meeting, in fact, they ought to take care of the matter at once. This will prove that they mean to do something more than talk. The following recommendation was passed. Last but not least, preaching every night; good congregations. From five to eight every night came forward as seekers. The preachers Dis. Dorsey, W. P. Washing- --- ton, Elders C. W. Cole, C. W. Norment. Because of the great interest that was manifested the Moderator remained over and preached Friday night. Collection upward of $60.00. May the Lord bless the good people in Centralia, and cause the sinners to turn before it is too late. We must not forget to say that Deacon J. E. Taylor, and Elder J. H McQueen, of Dewmaine, could not be present, being members of the Board, sent in their dollar. Find enclosed $1. donation. Recommendation of the Executive board of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association. Whereas the cause of the Master is lagging behind the age, and Whereas, the command reads in part, "Go." And, Whereas, it reads, How shall they hear without a preacher, and how shall they preach except they be sent? Be it therefore, Resolved, that we recommend to the churches to take up the marching orders for the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ which reads "Teaching them to observe all things." We recommend that the churches contribute to the following purposes, District State, Home, Foreign, Education and Etc. We recommend to the constituency of the churches of the East Mt. Olive Baetist Association to contribute the sum of $1. each for purpose of raising $1,000 or more this associational year. Let this be the Motto of every christian: "That which we can do, we ought to do, and that which we ought to do, God being our helper we will do." Be it Resolved, that the Executive board tender the good pastor A. R. McKee, the church and friends many thanks for their hospitality shown the Board and we pray the benediction of Heaven may overshadow them. Illinois Elects Three Members to the Legislatura.

Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an infilmed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

Now RED CROSS HELPS FORMER SOLDIERS Many Thousands Are Given Aid Since Leaving Uncle Sam's Service. When the millions of youths who composed America's war-time army checked in their packs, fingered their discharge fondly and hustled away from camp to return to the joys of civilian pursuit, many of them thought the American Red Cross had ceased to be an important function in ```markdown ``` their lives. It had furnished them with entertainment and other enjoyment and aid while in camp, but the great majority had never felt the need of the Red Cross before entering the service and they reasoned they would not need its assistance now that they were out of it again. Since that time many thousands have learned to know otherwise. The Red Cross was their friend in the service and they naturally turned to it when trouble and complications beset them in civilian life. Nearly a Million Aided. Through the Home Service Section, which has taken up the task of caring for the soldier and sailors after they leave the service, and their families and dependents, nearly a million men have been given assistance of various kinds. This consists principally of financial aid, finding jobs obtaining back pay, allotments and compensation. The states in the central division are beginning to realize some idea of the volume of information work being carried on by the Civilian Relief, a part of the Home Service department. From 1,500 to 2,000 cases are handled from each state almost every month. The Red Cross does not confine its activities to service men only. It also takes care of his family. In a little town in Nebraska recently a certain soldier stationed at the Alcarraz barracks for discipline was granted clemency and his term reduced. But he had become so despondent that he threatened to take his life. Found Family Destitute. The Red Cross investigated the condition of his family and found they were in desisture circumstances and that his mother was ill. Moreover, it was found that he had been absent without leave to go to her. Upon presentation of the facts in the case the sentence was commuted and the Red Cross is helping the family to get on its feet. The fact that all the returned bodies of dead soldiers are given a military funeral may be partly attributed to the Civilian Relief bureau. While the organization does not attend to the funeral directly, it gives instructions through the American Legion and where the family is financially unable to take care of the matter, the Red Cross comes to the assistance and offers relief. Public health hospitals are filled with ex-soldiers whom the Civilian Relief service is taking care of. A large percentage of these are suffering with tuberculosis and shell shock. Helps Get Compensation. Great service has been rendered by the Red Cross in mental cases in identifying those who have appeared in state hospitals for the insane, and helping them secure compensation due from the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. In the federal board's various offices in the central division, the Red Cross worker, acting with the Home Service section, makes necessary loans to the men, arranges suitable living conditions, helps collect evidence and supply facts to the board, assists in "appealing cases" and settles various personal difficulties for the men. The workers also follow up and aid all men who discontinue training. PERSHING'S TRIBUTE TO THE RED CROSS "It gives me real pleasure to pledge my hearty support to the American Red Cross. While the opportunity for its greatest service comes during times of war, and its achievements during the late World war have been unparalleled, yet there is and perhaps there always will be a vital need for the humanitarian work which it renders. "The present and former service men can never forget the Red Cross, not only for what it did for them during the war, but for what it is doing now in the army camps and posts and wherever needed in assisting the ex-servicemen throughout the country. The value of the American Red Cross as a peace time organization can hardly be over-estimated, and we owe it our loyal support and active cooperation. "JOHN J. PERSHING. "General."

ILL But for the work of American Red Cross agents in all regions of Poland during the last twelve months, hundreds of thousands of people in that tragic country today would be under the god, victims of hunger, disease and exposure. The job in Poland is one of tremendous proportions and cannot be abandoned for many months to come. Here is a typical scene: A Red Cross worker "at the throttle" of a soap kitchen where hundreds of undernourished women and children are fed daily. Americans who contribute to the Red Cross would feel amply repaid for their generosity if they could see what it means to hundreds of thousands of war weary sufferers in the Balkans. Here is a widowed Roumanian mother with her five children just after a visit to a Red Cross relief station. All are barefoot and the boy at the left is wearing clothes made of scraps from the battlefields. They have just received winter clothing, food and condensed milk for the baby. Similar work is being done for Russian refugees driven from home. Through its Health Service the American Red Cross has begun a nationwide concentrated effort in co-operation with established organizations to reduce greatly the amount of preventable disease and physical defects found among the country's 106,000,000 population. Education is its most powerful tool. Special attention is devoted to children, and this picture shows a typical Red Cross welfare clinic where little ones are treated and mothers instructed in the proper care of them. THE AMERICAN RED CROSS IN PEACE TIME Health Promotion Health is at the foundation of human happiness. Through its Rural Service, Public Health Nursing Service and Health Center Service, the American Red Cross aims greatly to strengthen this foundation and to draw more closely than ever the neighborly ties that bind the American people together. Here is shown a Red Cross Public Health nurse attending a young mother with a brand new baby, seeing that both receive sanitize care. Page Three SHAKESPEAR SAID: "All The World's A Stage." Grant the truth of that statement now as then. In that case we need the scenes shifted once in a while. Why not let the I. T. S. be your "property man"? GOURTEOUS, EFFICIENT SERVICE. ILLINOIS TRACTION SYSTEM. (McKinley Lines.) AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLORED PEOPLE We wish to say to our people of Massac County, and the surrounding territory, thereto. Having been solicited by a number of my people, also encouraged by some of my white friends who wish to see, and help secure employment for all returning soldiers, to enter the Undertaking business. I have finally decided to go into that business, with a view of serving my people, as well as having an employment, feeling that I can give them better service than members of the other race, 'though I am in friendly relation with all the other undertakers, and expect to retain that relationship throughout my business career. I am perfectly qualified to give unexcelled service and will guarantee satisfaction. I was born and reared in Metropolis, on 9th and Pearl Sts. Educated in Metroplis Public Schools, graduating from Dunbar High School in 1912. I then entered the Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanatary Science and Embalming, Chicago, Illinois, from which I graduated August 14 1914, from which school I hold a Diploma. We will carry a small line of caskets only, at present, owing to the advance price on these goods, but we have arranged with a large undertaking establishment to furnish us with anything needed on short notice. We have a first class hearse at our command. We were in the U. S., Service for six months, trying to make this country safe for "Democracy," thereby insuring the colored man an equal opportunity with other races. Phone 229--Ring 3.
