School nurse says all girls should know this TALKING to a roomful of high school girls on personal hygiene, an experienced district nurse said: "One of the basic rules of health for girls is to keep the system functioning naturally at all times. Normal exercise and diet habits should be encouraged. But when necessary there's no harm in taking nujol, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol should always be taken. Take a spoonful every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or gas pains or gripping." Nujol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are feeling because it is so pure and harmless, and works so easily. Every woman should keep a bottle on hand. Every drugstylist has this remarkable substance. Get the genuine. Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting of Topeka October 4-9,1927 Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting of Topeka October 4-9,1927 TO THE CHURCH AND PASTOR: My. Dear Co-laborers: At the annual session of our State Convention held at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927, the Convention adopted the more modern plan for carrying forward our Missionary and Educational work (both Home and Foreign) and in fact for carrying forward all our Convention obligations. Our plan calls for $10,000 annually. The plan adopted at the Convention was that $6,700.00 be apportioned directly to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Conventions of the State and District Associations and Auxiliaries. The amount apportioned to the Churches to be paid monthly or quarterly to the State office, the monthly or quarterly plan preferable because the State obligations are due monthly. For instance, if 95 churches give $5.00 each monthly, it means $125.00, and 25 churches give $3.00 each monthly it means $75.00, and 75 churches give $2.00 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention $350.00 to meet ner regular monthly obligations and money to apply on National Convention requirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Officers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please read this letter to the Church and lead them forth in this much needed "inners-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Ministers at the last Board Meetings and the amount for each of the Churches of $0,700.00 was suggested and accepted. The amount for your Church is in the following list. Please let us know the manner in which you will meet the request. We pray it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, beginning this month. Please pray for our work as the Missionary restors must carry on and the educational work must not be neglected.* We are the Lord's and the work in His command. He will make possible if we only trust Him. This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927. With much praise and supplication we are very respectfully, W. A. BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W. BOSS, Executive Secy, and Supt. of Missions. Who will be first to enlist as Monthly Regular? ASSOCIATION CHURCHES Churches P. O. Yearly 1. 1st Baptist, K. C. K. $2500 2. Metropolitan, K.

Each of the Auxiliary Conventions and the Associations as well as Churches, Sunday Schools, B. Y, P. Us., and Mission Circles, are expected to report one (4%) fourth of their apportionment at this Board Meeting in Wichita. Brethren, we are in need of $2000 with which to advance our regular work and be able to apply a reasonable amount on our indebtedness. Remember, over $500.00 additional improvement has been made on the Seminary and must be raised to secure the credit of our denomination. We are doing a splendid work at the Seminary and we must carry on. Then too, our Missionary Pastor's work is behind and those who depend on us are put in a compromising position, because we fall them. Let all organizations rally and function at this our January Board Meeting at Wichita. If your church cannot send a representative, then represent by letter; sending all money payable to A. W. Ross, in care of Dr. J. W. Hares, 615 Wabash Avenue, Wichita, Kansas. I am your humble servant, A. W. ROSS, Ex. Sec. & Supt. of Mis. ANNOUNCEMENT DEAR CO-WORKERS:— With very great delight we announce that the State Executive Bd. of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Kansas, will meet on Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 1st and 2nd, 1928, with the Calvary Baptist Church, Wichita, Kansas, Rev. J. W. Hayes, D. D., Pastor, and Moderator of the great Southwestern District. God has wonderfully blessed those of us who are living to see the beginning of a brand new year, the year 1928, ushering in with new responsibilities, and much unfinished business committed to us from the year 1927. This is true in our personal, state, and national affairs, as well as in our church and conventional matters. It is my opinion that God has brought us hither to this place and New Year in Kansas, to put over His Missionary and Educational program. Why should he make others from our side and leave us in charge of His churches and Kingdom Work, if His infinite wisdom and knowledge had not determined we were equal to the tasks that are held in the lap of this New Year, of large opportunities, hopes and possibilities? Thus preserved and appointed as stewards of Christ for the year 1928, let us face, like flint, the duties that confront us, knowing that with Christ we can prevail. It is generally predicted this is to be a year of prosperity and plenitude and God grant that as His stewards, we consciously labor to let Him have His share.

THE only way a person can be angry and sin not, is to be angry for sin. It is always a sad fact when a minister leaves his field of labor. The question arises, who is in fault? The church visible is composed of human beings and the pastor is human, and unless both sides let Jesus lead there is a chance to go long. We received a notice unsigned this week of the resignation of Rev. J. II. Bruce, a young man pastoring St. John Baptist Church, Salina, Kersas. This is a fine congregation of people and we trust that God led in the matter of the seperation. Now, this church should go to God in prayer for a real leader. Let no member in the church promise to support any particular man, but let the Holy Spirit lead and all will be proud of the next selection. Bro. Bruce should pray very earnestly to be filled with love as an under shepherd from the over Shepherd, then, will the sheep love him more, and obey him better. "WILL IT PAY?" THIS is a question that should value in the minds of every person who has any inclination to take dancing lessons at 615 N. Main St. WHY? First, the race needs the money we need, to purchase homes, to invest in business, and to use in every way to make the race independent. Think, only one decent grocery store in the whole city, no dry goods, no shoes, a few restaurants, pool halls, and barber shops, three charitable institutions. 2 undertaking establishments, a few outstanding churches without efficient workers—are and facts concerning the race. The race is wholly dependent upon the white race and count to take care of their sick. Just think, there are eight doctors in this city and they are wholly dependent on the white institutions to take care of their patients, where all white nurses CITY HEAR!

Second, Statistics will show more crimes committed and published from stage dancers and actors than any other line of work in the world, so it looks like preparing your daughter or son to at least dwell in the shadows of criminals. Third, A congregation of the best dancers in the world could not run a church, school, congress, convention, conference or anything that would maintain a civilization, saying nothing about a Christian civilization which recants growing Christ-like. Fourth, there is a soul in every person that must report to God for the deeds of the body, and it will either stay in His presence or depaint for punishment. Will the dancing school prepare for the presence of God? Think Think!! Think!!! THE KANSAS BAPIST STATE CONVENTION AND AUXILIARY BOARDS will meet at Cnibary Baptist Church. Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 1, and 2. Let every church and auxiliary meet fully the requirements, because the cause and our duty demands it. Lay the truth of the condition of the State on their hearts and the members will relieve the situation. Try them. MEN are not equal in their capacity to serve the community, nor or they equal in their needs. But they are equal in the possession of a personality that is worthy of reverence. They are equal in the right to the development of that personality, so far as may be compatible with the common good. And is the determination of what constitute the common good, they have an equal claim that their care should be heard and weighed and that the judgment should be disinterested and just.-J. H. OLDHAM.

INTELLIGENT WHITES DO NOT JOIN MOBS, SAYS EXPERT (WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-At last the contents of a lynching mob have been analyzed; and, according to Charles Willis Thompson, "lynchers are the toughest and riff-raff of the community, mostly drunk, led perhaps by a foolish man or half dozen men of education, but unaided by intelligent whites, who remain aloof, either from fear, disgust or indifference." CRIPPLE BECOMES WEALTHY WASHINGTON, Jan. 20—Cherry Johnson, a cripple, of Seminole City, Oklahoma, may not need longer to worry about procuring at least the ordinary comforts to assuage his incapacity. A small piece of seemingly barren ground which he purchased out of his early savings has sprung oil, and Johnson now rides around the county in a limousine operated by a chauffeur. Other colored men in Seminole County who are cashing in on oil lands are "Daddy" Shaw, who has already received $250,000 in royalties, and Joseph Carter, the recipient of a similar sum, whose watermelon patch suddenly "boomed" with oil. The Seminole field is indeed creating oil wealth. Attention!
