STATE & NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK LABOR'S SUPREME TEST IN PRESENT NATIONAL CRISIS NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK To Be Observed April 22-28, 1917 VOLUME XVII. NO. 28 STATE & LABOR'S SUPRI PRESENT NAT Negroes Have Opportunity Now To Fill Gap In Industrial Ranks Of South Caused By Withdrawal Of 250,000 Men For Military Duty—Army Of Workmen Needed For Greatest Industrial Organization In Nation's History. In the present world-war, in which the United States has become involved, labor is meeting its most supreme test—the test of loyalty and stability Throughout the nation the word has gone forth from President Wilson and our national leaders that not only does the nation need an army of a million men to bear arms against the common enemy, but every man not available for military duty is needed to maintain and sustain the nation in its time of peril by the complete operation of its industrial organization. THE NEGRO'S OPPORTUNITY Not only is the Southern Negro citizens afforded a large opportunity in this situation to display their characteristic loyalty by upholding the fighting arms of the nation, but within their reach is the greatest industrial opportunity ever offered any group of American citizens. It is estimated that the South's quota of the army of a million fighting men that are to be drafted will be 250,000 men. These are to be drawn mostly of course from the industrial ranks, from the mills, the factories, the farms and the offices of the South. The vacancies caused by the raising of this tremendous army of fighting men, nineteents of whom will undoubtedly be white, will afford industrial openings heretofore closed to colored men and women. No one can foretell the duration of this war, nor how many men will be needed to supplement the first army of a million men, but we do know that the war crisis not only affords colored men of the South superior industrial advantages, more so than is afforded any element of our American citizenship. WILL THE OPPORTUNITY BE EMBRACED? Will the colored men of the South embrace this opportunity or will they dissipate it by misguided and indiscriminate migration, running about from pillar to post, following the will-o-the-wisp beckonings of mercenary labor agents who traffic in labor for the dollars in it for them. Nothing is to be gained now by leaving the South for the North and East to engage in public work or unskilled labor, as an abundance of it is to be had right here at our doors and at wages just as good and under living condition far superior from an economic standpoint that other sections afford. SOUTH MUST HAVE LABOR TO RESPOND TO DEMANDS OF Upon the South will rest largely the responsibility of feeding the nation during the war period, and whether or not the South fully discharges that responsibility depends upon her available labor supply. The South needs its present labor supply, and this need has been emphasized recently in marked advances in wages. This has been especially notable in Norfolk, where wages paid by transportation companies have been advanced twice within the past sixty years. The Journal and Guide MOVING OF SPRING CROPS WILL REQUIRE EXTRA LABOR. Already the movement of the Spring produce crops to market has begun from Norfolk, the shipping center for Eastern Virginia and North Carolina. This annual Spring movement involves the expenditure of millions of dollars for labor for gathering and loading for shipment over the various transportation lines entering Norfolk. Not only have the truck farmers advanced wages generally but the transportation companies have raised the pay of their freight handlers from 47 and 22 cents per hour to 20 and 25 cents. NEW FIELDS OF LABOR OPENING. A study of the labor situation in the South shows a constantly expanding field of opportunity for colored labor. Whereas a few years ago Negro labor was restricted generally to the most menial forms of work, it is now required for work of a more skilled and more profitable character. During the past year three new knitting mills have opened operated by Negro girls exclusively. In this issue of The Journal and Guide a new nut and chocolate factory in this section advertises for colored girls and women to work in their blanching room. INCREASING DANGERS OF MIGRATION. It is interesting to note the increasing interest that the colored press of the South is taking in advising our people against the evils connected with wholesale and indiscriminate migration. In a recent issue of the Southwestern Christian Advocate of New Orleans said: READ THIS BEFORE YOU MOVE NORTH. "The great mistake that some of our people are making in their moving to the North is their going without any definite place to go and with no definite employment in sight. There is risk enough where there is a bonafide offer of good positions in the North of the work that is congenial and the work that our people can do, but it is little less than rookhardy because some of our people are moving North for others to go in a harem scarem way. Those who go without employment are making trouble. Going into the cities of the North they are being forced to live in temporary camps, there having been no provisions made for them, and housing facilities being inadequate and no employment to be had." LOCAL CAST WILL PRESENT "LION AND THE MOUSE" What promises to be the biggest production of the amusement season in this city will be staged by local colored talent at the Booker T. Washington Auditorium Monday, April 23rd, 1917, "The Lion and the Mouse," a play in four acts by Chas. Klein, a powerful gripping drama of modern times, a story of love and character winning over the power of wealth. A large royalty was demanded for this production by the heirs of the late Mr. Klein. Mr. Stith and Miss Coppage will be seen in the characters of John Burkett Ryder and Sherley Rosmore respectively and Mrs. J. Eugene Diggs the producer, has secured a supporting company which measure up to all the requirements of this exacting play. The curtain rises at 8:30 sharp. General admission, 25 cents. SMYTHE SCHOOL WILL RENDER CANTATA The J. H. Smythe League met on Monday 16, with a large number present. Mesdames Mildred Carter and Sarah Nash made brief addresses.

VIRGINIA PYTHIANS WIN COURT FIGHT Supreme Court Of District Of Columbia Decides They Were Wrongfully Expelled. Richmond, Va.—The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, at Washington, handed down a decision Friday, April 13th, Justice McCoy, presiding, in which it was decided that the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia was wrongfully expelled from the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. & A. This is the culmination favorably to the Grand Lodge, K. of P., of Virginia, of a suit instituted by that body against the Supreme Lodge to restrain that tribunal from enforcing the proclamation of the Supreme Chancellor suspending the Grand Lodge of Virginia and all the members in the subordinate lodges, in that grand jurisdiction from the Order. At the session of the Supreme Lodge at Baltimore, the action of the Supreme Chancellor was sustained and a resolution adopted expelling the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia from the Order. A restraining order was obtained from Mr. Justice Ashley M. Gould of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, forbidding the Supreme Chancellor from enforcing his own proclamation or the decree of the Supreme Lodge. At the session of the Supreme Lodge at Columbus, O., the injunction or restraining order was not obeyed and the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, through counsel and with the concerted action of the Supreme Representatives, John Mitchell, Jr., Thomas M. Crump, E. R. Jefferson and T. H. Wyatt instituted contempt proceedings in the Supreme Court at Washington against S. W. Green, Dr. E. E. Underwood, R. R. Jackson, for violating the restraining order. The original suit and the contempt proceedings were consolidated at the hearing by mutual consent of counsel and the result is announced that Virginia has won its contention in the cause at issue.

RACE ORGANIZATIONS PLEDGE THEIR LOYALTY Through Emancipation Association City Fraternal Societies Re-affirm Allegiance. The Norfolk Emancipation Association represents the colored organized citizenship of Norfolk, consisting of over fifty organizations, among which are Churches, Sunday Schools, B. Y. P. U.s. Christian Endevors, Languages, Secret Societies, Literary Circles, Social and Beneficial Clubs, Trade Unions, Tidewater Local Association of Graduate Nurses, Military and Musical Organizations. We feel that no single organization or individual can better express the attitude of the Colored Citizens of Norfolk toward this Government in this great National Crisis than this Association, which has existed in Norfolk for fifty-five years. As to the contemplations of alliance with foreign foes or disloyalty to the American Government; past history will reveal the improbability of such attempt or the conception of such an idea, for they will not attempt to shift responsibilities but will fight side by side with their comrades in defense of the "Stars and Stripes," on Land or Sea. The Association in a special session assembled "Pledged its allegiances to its Flag and the Republic for which it stands. One Nation indivisible with Liberty and Justice for all." Whereas the honor, dignity and safety of this Government is at stake and whereas every citizen of this Republic is called upon to stand by "Old Glory." Resolved, That the Norfolk Emancipation Association assembled, pledges itself to aid and support the Government of the United States of America in securing volunteers for the Army and Navy, and training camp to be prepared to serve as officers or in whatever capacity, opportunity or ability may warrant. Resolved, That the Association will use every possible means in aiding the Government in securing from its ranks the best qualified to perform such duties as may be assigned. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the proper authorities, press and a copy be recorded. Norfolk Emancipation Association—President, G. W. Giddings; Secretary, A. E. White.

Some Hints to Guide You In the Clean Up Campaign HERE are some hints for clean up week: Carpets, rugs and mattings should all be taken up and thoroughly cleaned and the floors and woodwork scrubbed. Soap, hot water and a little washing soda and the scrub brush are the howitzers which successfully can combat the common enemy—dust. Invade every hiding place in the kitchen where flith may accumulate. Plug up the rat and mice holes; putty and paint the cracks where vermin may propagate. The collar should receive a special cleaning. A fresh coat of whitewash applied to the walls will add freshness and A fresh coat of to the walls will brightness to its appearance. Inspect the plumbing and keep the pipes clear of rubbish heaps. Not the local department of health of leaks from neighbouring premises which are injuring your property and enlarge your family. BARN RIVER Gather all the tin cans, discarded and broken bottles and boxes from the back yard and alley. Pull up the weeds and prepare the soil for the growth of flowers, plants and vegetables. The humblest home may be made attractive by a garden display. Do not throw the collected waste into the back alley or on to vacant lots, to be scattered by the wind. Put all the refuse in covered receptacles and then place those near the street curb on the regular collecting days to be gathered and carted away.

PRICE FIVE CENTS GALA DAY FOR WILSON SCHOOLS GALA DAY FOR WILSON SCHOOLS COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF COUNTY SCHOOLS HELD IN CITY. Two Thousand School Children In Procession—More Than $2000.00 Raised In County For School Improvement And Longer Terms. Wilson, N. C.—Thursday of last week was a gala day for the schools of Wilson County, N. C. More than two thousand children along with their parents and teachers from the various rural schools met in the own of Wilson on the grounds of the city graded school to celebrate the annual County School Commencement. During the morning hours the many exhibits in cooking, sewing, basketry and carpentry were viewed, old acquaintances were being renewed and plans were being perfected for the monster parade which was to start at twelve o'clock. Promptly at twelve, led by the famous Brick School Band of Enfield, N. C., the procession started on a tour of the principal business streets of the town. Automobiles and carriages gaily decorated with the national colors and carrying the judges of exhibits, distinguished visitors and the County Supervisor formed a part of the line, but the major part of the parade was made up of the hundreds and hundreds of teachers and students who marched two by two strung out for eight or ten blocks behind the leaders. All along the line of march the streets were crowded with people of both races. Many words of praise were heard both for the boys of the band and for the splendid appearance of the children. Returning to the school the children were stationed in the class rooms and in groups on the grounds, under the supervision of their teachers, there not being room enough in the spacious auditorium even for all of the grown people who crowded in. On the platform were seated Mr. Coon, the State Supervisor; Lawyer Barnes, the County Superintendent; three visiting white ladies from New York; Mrs. E. E. Holland, the State Jeanes' Fund Supervisor; Prof. Smith, Dr. Hargrave, Prof. J. D. Reid, principal of the Graded School and County Supervisor, and Rev. Richard H. Bowling of Norfolk, Va., who was to deliver the principal address. After the address, in which the speaker urged that colored people be loyal to the fing, loyal to the section in which they lived and to aim at making themselves more reliable and efficient as workers and citizens, several of those seated on the platform were introduced to make informal addresses. Among them were Messrs. Barnes and Coon, who spoke in praise of the common sense advice given in Mr. Bowling's address and pledged themselves to do all in their power to help the Negro secure better schools and longer terms. Thrilling messages were heard from Dr. Hargrave, the leading colored physician, Mrs. Holland and Prof. Reid. The audience seemed to be in good mood and every speaker was applauded to the echo. But with no one did the audience seem to be in more accord than with the able and progressive Prof. Reid, who is principal of the town school and at the same time supervisor of the schools of the county. During the past year under his wise and inspiring leadership the colored people of the county have raised in cash more than two thousand dollars with which to insure to their children for the coming year better educational advantages in the way of buildings and equipment. At the close of the exercises Prof. Reid was presented with a purse on behalf of the teachers who have worked under him during the year. The great mass movement of Negroes to. the North has not affected the town or county of Wilson. The reasons are plainly evident on every hand. Business is thriving, fine churches and homes are being built, relations between the races are amicable and there is no lack of sane leadership. More than all the people confide in their leaders. Both white and colored seek and adhere to the wise counsels of such men as Prof. Reid, Dr. Hirgrave, Rev. Perry and Mr. Vick. tors; Mrs. Eva Felton, Registrars; Mrs. F. C. Barber, Plays; Drs. Coppage and Brown, Dental Clinic; Mrs. Wilhelmenia Byrd, Prizes; Mesdames Foster and King, Demonstractions. Dr. Brooks Is Chaplain Of The New York Regiment. Dr. Wm. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, New York, was appointed chaplain of the Fifteenth Regiment of the New York State National Guards, which he has accepted. Dr. Brooks has been very influential in the development of the regiment and has received many congratulations on his appointment.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who has much fame as a thinker after her fashion, has said: "To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many." This is meant in the larger sense, as covering the wrongs which we call human rights by the strong, against the weak, by the many against the few. The war in Europe, which has become world wide, would have not been started if Austria, which is a great power, had not undertaken to brow-beat and bully the small state of Serbia, because two youths assassinated the Crown Prince and his Consort, and forced the intervention of Russia. The other Nations of Europe were drawn into the war by their several alliances and interests. But, what of the smaller and personal sins against which we do not protest, but accept in silence, and have the awful consequences to suffer in the natural course of events? We have seen men of the race insult our women in public by over familiarity of conduct and vulgar remarks who have accepted it in silence, when the escort protested, because they were afraid of the breath of scandal; and we have known good women to accept favors of vulgar men and their casual association, after a scraped up acquaintance, who, having compromised themselves by such acceptance of favors and scraped up acquaintance were unable to resent but were compelled to submit to abuses that ruined them in their own self-respect and that of their friends. The vulgar way some of our men treat our women and speak to them in a conversational tone loud enough to be heard by others, in public places and conveyances, and without protest from the women, who fear, that such protest will make a scene, and would, is a brazen shame, all the more frequent in our larger cities, and not only compromises the women in public and weakens their power of protest against greater wrongs from the same men in private, but makes it possible for white persons observant of the public exhibitions to place a low estimate upon both our womanhood and manhood. Our women should protest against such manners, wherever displayed towards them, and let the blame rest upon the men. When they accept it they are considered to be no better than the men. And how many of us have noticed in private social gatherings of our men that the conversation would more often than otherwise turn upon the women of their acquaintance and jest and jibe and quip and quirp pass from tongue to tongue, with the "loud laugh that marks the vacant mind," while the silent ones, those who disapproved such thought and conversation, would sit silent and permit the sinfulness of it to pass without protest or rebuke. We know that it has been so; we know that it is too frequently so; we know that it should not be so. Let us amend our ways in this matter. If we have clean thoughts the whole body must of necessity be clean, but if we have unclean, thoughts the whole body must of necessity be unclean. And if we do not respect ourselves, our manhood, and our womanhood, we have no right to expect that others will do so. It is said that a person standing within the shadows of a great mountain is unable to estimate its vastness and grandeur. His perspective is darkened by the contact. He can not see the grand magnitude and magnificence of it as can one standing afar from it. In the same way it is impossible for the average mind to grasp the vast volume and potentialities contained in seven thousand million dollars, which is so much of the real blood of the Nation that goes or must go into the making of it. It must be paid to the Government in taxes levied in all sorts of ways upon what the people have and what they produce, or will, and the Government will spend it in prosecuting the war. The volume of money seven thousand million dollars stands for is too vast to be grasped and analyzed all'in a breath; it will take time to do so. The point is this: It is estimated that the cost of the war with Germany will cost some $7,000,000,000, on the theory that the war will last three years. The levying of taxation to meet this cost will be the work of the Congress which now has the matter under consideration. We shall all have to bear our share of it in the rent we pay, in the food we eat, in the clothes we wear, and in the luxuries we feel we must have. None of us will be able to escape his share of the burden. The poet Cowper said: "War is a game which, were their subjects wise, kings would not play at." So had the kings of Europe been controlled by their subjects the present war we now engaged in with Germany would not have been declared, but their subjects had little or nothing to say about it; they had to do as their kings decided in secret that they should do. In this country it is different. We only declare war when the citizens determine that it shall be done, and then they authorize it through their President, by and with the consent of the Congress. It ought to be that way in all nations and with the citizens of them, and the tendency is pronouncedly that way. MILITARY TRAINING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. "Military training in the schools conceived as military drilling is undesirable and unavailing; military training conceived as a comprehensive program of physical, moral, and civic education is desirable and even necessary," declares Dr. W. S. Small in a chapter on educational hygiene in the Annual Report of the Commissioner of Education, Department of the Interior. Dr. Small points out that military training thus conceived "offers a possibility of unifying and ennobling the now confused and disjointed activities in the field of physical and moral discipline. The physical and moral values of both gymnastics and athletics are well understood, but both lack comprehensive and unifying motive. All systems of gymnastics are individualistic. Their appeal is to the desire of the individual for physical perfection. Competition is narrowly individualistic. Systems of athletics are mostly based upon group competitions but also for training in the very fundamentals of social morality. But the philosophy of athletics is the philosophy of play, and the philosophy of play is the philosophy of instinct—a philosophy that is not comprehensive enough to serve as a sole basis of physical and moral education. Military training rightly conceived includes these motives and subordinates them to the ideal of patriotism." The report describes and discusses the so-called "Wyoming plan" originated by Capt. E. Z. Steever, U. S. A., outlines the plans of the New York military commission in relation to physical training, and analyzes the relation of military training to school organization, concluding that "military training in the strict and technical sense will not be grafted upon the schools, but military training in the sense of a comprehensive program for physical, moral, and civic education in which some appropriate military affairs may be included is likely to find its way into all schools." A WORD TO WORKING MEN. Among the causes to which the present Northward migration of Southern Negro laborers is attributed is that of low wages. In its investigation of the causes leading to the exodus the Journal and Guide addressed some direct inquiries to several large employers of labor regarding their attitude upon the matter of wages, and some of the replies received make up a vital subject for the careful study and consideration of working men, and seem to indicate that labor itself is largely, if not entirely responsible for existing wages. For example, one concern that employs several hundred men and recently raised their wages five cents per hour reported a decrease in the number of hours made by the men after the wage increase was given. Quite naturally their impression was that the higher the wage paid the less number of days their men would work. It is easy to understand how such an impression would operate against increased wages, still it is a fact confirmed by actual investigation that a certain class of men keep down their own wages by working indifferently and keeping down their standard of working efficiency. Another large employing concern, one of the transportation companies, which also joined in the recent increase in wages here, reported that after the wage increase it was difficult to get men to remain on the job more than a certain number of hours a day, or, if they would work at discharging a ship during the morning they would not work during the afternoon, and very often the company was not able to discharge their ship cargoes with any degree of facility because there was a comparatively small number of men who would put in the maximum of time allowed even at the maximum wage. It ought to be perfectly plain to working men that other things beside quality of service rendered influence wages. If working men establish the impression that their material needs require only a certain amount of money, and if they are disinclined to earn more than enough to meet these needs it will be very difficult to convince employers that it is worth while to establish a wage scale that will result only in reducing their operating time. Of course the above situation does not apply to all working men. But it does apply to an element large enough to influence the matter of wages where all labor is concerned, and for that reason the matter is one for the very serious consideration of those honest working men whose earning capacity is curtailed on account of the delinquencies of the indifferent and slothful element. "KEEP YOUR PEACE." Here and there all over the country people are being arrested for saying things against the Government and those in authority that, in times of peace, no one would take any notice of, but which in wartimes are considered to be treasonable, and those saying them find the heavy hand of the Federal authority placed upon them and that they are imprisoned. The prison is not'a pleasant place to be in at any time. It is the last place a person would select for himself or any reason whatever. Attorney General Gregory is reported to have recommended from Washington that everybody "Keep his peace;" that is, do not discuss the Government and its policies, nor criticise those who have the making and executing of those policies. It is good advice; but many people, who like to talk, will not think so, and because they do not they may get into trouble, and that will be their hard luck. GARDEN CROPS TO HELP. The requirements of war times make it necessary for a Nation to conserve all of its resources, among the principal of which are its foodstuffs. The word has gone forth, therefore, that the waste places should be cultivated, and that gardens not heretofore cultivated shall be made to bring forth things that are good for food. The response all along the line is very generally affirmative. Wars produce scarcity of foodstuffs, and famines that amount to starvation often come upon the people. To provide against such a condition, as far as possible, is the policy the Government has recommended for adoption by all of the people. Let us, then, plant something in all of the garden plots we may possess, and encourage our neighbors to do so. It is a wise thing to do even in times of peace. THE COLORED MAN'S LOYALTY. Speaking about German plots and the loyalty of the Colored American citizen, it is worthy of note that of the nine Norfolk men who joined the army last Wednesday eight of them were colored. If the black man is permitted to fight the others may do the talking. The American Negro is "a first class fighting man." There are no better soldiers today in our army than those of his race. The flag is his flag, and he has a right to share in the responsibility and the glory of its defense. White Americans and black Americans will be the better Americans for marching together to the defence of that flag.—Louisville Courier-Journal. A Correction. In publishing the number of registrations for the recent Layman's Missionary Movement Convention the registrations from Ehmuel A. M. E. Church and Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church were erroneously given as 3 and 2 respectively. The correct numbers are 53 and 52 respectively. NERVOUSNESS AND HEADACHE QUICKLY AND PERMANENTLY RELIVED BY PERFECT-FITTING EYE-GLASSES. It is a well settled fact that about fifty per cent of the dangerous diseases of the eye are traceable to simple defects which might originally have been permanently relieved by properly fitted glasses. Smarting, stinging sensations, frequent headaches, nervousness, dizziness and blurred vision are a few of the more common symptoms. Therefore you can not afford to neglect your eyesight! You should consult an eyesight specialist—one of vast experience and large patronage, like Dr. Masrow. This eyesight specialist is permanently located in the Dickson building, corner Granby and Tazewell, and may be consulted in his office at the above address, at any hour. He makes no charge for consultation and if he finds that glasses will not relieve you, or that you do not need them, he will tell you so frankly. In the event that you do need glasses, the outlay will be very reasonable.—Advertisement. ASHEVILLE CITIZENS JOIN IN LOYALTY PARADE ASHEVILLE CITIZENS JOIN IN LOYALTY PARADE (By J. H. Hamilton.) Asheville, N. C.—If there ever was any doubt as to the loyalty of the colored people of Asheville to the Country and Flag, it was removed last Tuesday, April 10th, when they marched about 1,500 in number in the grand patriotic parade. On Monday night, April 9th, the Law and Order League met in the Y. M. I. to consider an invitation from the Arrangement Committee and mayor of Asheville, to take a part in the parade, and to select a colored man to deliver an address at the auditorium at the close of the parade. Resolutions were adopted, and Rev. C. K. Brown was selected to read them at the meeting at the auditorium Tuesday afternoon. On Tuesday at 2 p. m. about 500 children and citizens of colored people met at the Y. M. I. and at 2:15 marched from the Y. M. I. in a body to the place designated by the Arrangement Committee to start in the grand parade. As they crossed Pack Square and down Patton Ave. the-police ordered all traffic stopped even the street cars until they passed. At 2:30 the employees of Hans Ries Tannery came and took their stand, the white and colored in the same line of march, with a colored man leading carrying all large U. S. Flag. There were about 300 in number and others joined later. The parade started at 3 p. m. and lasted until about 4:30. At The Auditorium. Ex-Governor Craig, Ex-Congressman Britt and Dr. Walker were the speakers, the latter being chosen by the colored people Monday night as their standard bearer. Mr. Craig made the first speech, Ex-Congressman Britt made the second speech and the closing speech was made by Dr. J. W. Walker. There were about 3000 white people and about 1,000 colored people present. Dr. Walker had his speech well prepared and made good in spite of the fact that two of the greatest orators of the State preceded him. In his speech he made mention of the fact that the Negro had fought in every war that this Country had been engaged in, and when he told of how the Negro soldiers came to the rescue of the whites in the Spanish-American War at San Juan Hill it brought tears to the eyes of the white people. He closed by saying that the Negro was ready to stand, beside this Country and Flag. That they would put God first, their Country next and their families last. Many white people remarked after the meeting that Dr. Wallace's speech was the best they had ever heard, and it has done more to help his race than anything, else that could have been done. V. N. & I. L., Hampton and St. Paul In Triangular Debate. Petersburg, Va.—In the triangular debating contest of Hampton, St. Paul; and, V. N. & I. Institute the Petersburg affirmative team won a unanimous decision over Hampton's negative last night in the audience hall of the local Institute. The proposition was, "In this country a minimum wage should be fixed by law." Moses F. Gibson, Nannie M. Green and Eddie H. Evans, alternate, up held the affirmative for Petersburg, and Percy H. Stone, Morris E. Thomasson and Julian E Bagley, alternate, upheld the negative for Hampton. Miss Hattie Jefferson, one of Petersburg's strong speakers didn't appear for reason of illness. A large audience was in attendance and the arguments of both teams were very instructive and well received. Petersburg's negative team consisting of Vera L. Coleman, Susie A. Shepperson and Elizabeth V. Coleman, alternate, also won a decision over St. Paul's affirmative at Lawrenceville. Hampton's affirmative team composed of Joseph C. Parks, R. Henry Bland and Cornelius H. Garlick, alternate, won over St. Paul's negative team composed of S. Lionel Emanuel, M. T. P. Lochard and Fraudie Barnes, alternate. Why Constipation Injures. The bowels are the natural sewerage system of the body. When they become obstructed by constipation a part of the poisonous matter which they should carry off is absorbed into the system, making you feel dull and stupid, and interfering with the digestion and assimilation of food. This condition is quickly relieved by Chamberlain's Tablets. For sale by all drug- HEALTH TALKS PREVENTIVE AND REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION of HEALTH. By DR. J. W. [PIERCE There is a little quotation that runs somewhat in this way: "In the spring time, the young man's fancy gently turns towards the thoughts of love." Also there seems to be an idea that prevails among many people that their fancy should turn toward spring medication. Spring time to them means that they should begin and fill themselves up with their choice remedies for the purpose of getting the system in shape for the many duties it is required to perform and the fight it must wage against physical disorders and disease for the next twelve months that follow until spring comes again. For them to neglect this routine of self-treatment annually is something unthinkable and they would put it down in the category of crime against themselves and society. Many dollars are thrown away every year on these remedies in the name of blood purifiers. The fortunate thing in this whole business is that those who are least able financially, are victims of this false notion and they are found going the rounds of from two to three or a dozen bottles of this medicinal swill believing that they are establishing a definite protection from the common ailments that befall the human family as the year goes by. It may be that in some instances that it is necessary for one to provide himself with a certain line of medication in the spring of every year, or in the fall, or winter, etc., for some specific constitutional trouble that puts in its appearance especially at these seasons, but I can conceive of no rational cause to adhere strictly to the rule of spring medicine on general principles to meet some supposed conditions that exist as a product of imagination. As we have said in former talks that it is not wise to administer medicines to children unless there is a definite reason for them, so the rule holds good for the matured and all classes and ages of people. More injury is done to the tissues of the body by this false self-treatment than can be measured. The bad results frequently over-balance the Numerous Benefits Can Be Obtained By Cleaning Up "Clean up week" depends for its success upon the hearty co-operation of every citizen, and if it be given ungrudgingly the town will be the better for it in health, in money and attractiveness. City officials can do much in seeing that the street cleaners do really clean, that garbage collectors do their task thoroughly and that public buildings, squares and parks shall be an example of neatness. But what the official can do will be but a drop in the bucket compared with what should be done. It is the corners that are out of sight that need most attention—the courts, cellars and buck yards—and over these the municipality has no control. It depends, therefore, upon the householder to do the major part in the elimination of rubbish, the overhauling of the things that collect dust and filth, and the whole process that goes to make up the real town beautiful. Dirt of any sort means multiplication of disease, and disease means economic waste. Therefore "clean up week" will mean business prudence and enterprise. Health means wealth and progress. T has been estimated by authorities on gardening and production that a back yard shift garden, 25, by 50 feet, will supply a family of six with an abundance of fresh vegetables, sufficient to supply all needs through the season, if judiciously planted and given the proper care and attention. A Friend. There are two elements that go to the composition of friendship, each so sovereign that I detect no superiority in either, no reason why either should be the first named. One is truth. A friend is a person with whom I can be sincere. The other element of friendship is tenderness. When a man becomes dear to me, I have touched the goal of fortune—Emerson. Do Your Part in the Paint Up Campaign CIVIC bodies all over the country have joined in the crusade against prevalence of rubbish and dirt and the dull, forbidding aspect that follows in the wake of failure to preserve and beautify with paints. They are laying special emphasis upon the paint up feature. Paint makes any frame structure twice as enduring and ten times as attractive, and the adornment phase of its merits applies in full to brick structures. Do your part! Paint up! Do it now! Paint kills! Paint kills disease! THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Make a Thrift Garden A Friend. good, and the human constitution is worse off than before the "purifier" was resorted to. If for any reason an individual feels that he need's a spring tonic, he should be made acquainted with this need by first getting skillful information, and then be placed on the proper tonic or remedy to meet the nature of the case, and not to swim his body in large quantities of "purification" fluids of unknown substances which are sometimes antagonistic to the purpose he has in mind, and are directly in opposition to the functions of the tissues and organs of the body. This false idea works many hardships in spite of the good that is hoped to be obtained by its adoption. If the blood is impovished, or if it contains any poisonous material, if its normal composition is disturbed, or if it is in any unhealthful condition, it is not necessary or wise to wait until spring to try to remove it. It does not require any special season of the year to get rid of blood conditions that work against health. When such changes or needs are detected, it is then and there that proper medication should begin and not wait until spring to get your pet "blood tonic" with the hope of putting yourself in a working condition after such unknown drugging. We repeat that these so-called spring blood tonics are a farce, and their employment is detrimental both to the purse and health. The principle that should prevail is this: Let no medicine during any season of the year enter the mouth unless there is a reason. And if such causes do exist they can always be had if proper investigation is undertaken by an authority whose interest, primarily, is to preserve and conserve health among the members of the human family. Too often one hears, "I have taken so many bottles of this, and so many bottles of that, and still I feel that I am in an awful run-down condition." Naturally so; because such a person has been aiming at nothing and hitting hard. Beware of the too free employment of "spring tonics" and "blood purifiers." DIRT DISEASE DEATH Remember the three deadly "D's"-dirt, disease, death. Help to keep your city clean. Use separate and large enough receptacles for garbage, ashes and waste paper. The best public service depends on co-operation and mutual understanding. Will you help? Keep the garbage can covered. It's your street in your city. Keep it as clean as you do your room in your home. It's your street. Why not put dust and litter from the pavement into a can and not sweep it into the gutter? "Don't's" for clean streets: Don't split on the pavement; don't make a dump of your street; don't leave the garbage can uncovered; don't throw paper, banana skins, etc., into the street. Clean homes and clean streets mean fewer files, better bables, healthier children, happier people. Clean streets increase business and improve property values. Don't let your waste paper blow about. Don't wait for clean up week; do it now. It's your street and your city. Help to keep them clean. Bacon—If you want to live long keep active. Egbert—I don't know about that. Take the toads, for instance; they only live about fifteen years, and they are always on the jump—Yonkers Statesman. Paint Will Make Your Place Pleasing to Eye PAINT makes store fronts more pleasing and entrances more inviting, just as the uniform makes the soldier seem twice a hero. A liberal use of paints, oils and varnish in the business world brings back the money taken from the purse for their purchase many times over. They are the emblems of business prosperity and growth, and these are margins to all. If the merchant is prosperous it is good; wisdom that he should let the people know it, and then, by a rule as sure as the workings of mathematics, he will have more prosperity. And the merchant who is not doing quite so well would be equally wise to furbish up his place and make it put on the tidy, bright air so generally character- lity of the buildings is successful Norfolk's Ideal Laundry, Cleaning and Dyeing Plant We Clean Anything Call NORFOLK 3228 "OUR WAGON'S READY" Clean Up THE STREET LINES Beautiful Homes Mean a Beautiful Town WHITE HARDWARE CO., Inc.

To whom it may concern: This is to state for sometime I have been bothered with catarrh, stomach trouble and nervousness. I have used many widely advertised remedies ‘and consulted physicians whithersoever T have gone; but the trouble secwn to aggravate. About three months ago I met Rev. Cummings and asked him if a treatment, ¥ was then using, would help me. He bade me throw it away at once, saying that I would suffer more if I continued it. He then took |me to his office and made a diagnosis of my complaints by looking into my face. He told me the truth I-knew and the truth I did not know. I at once began to take his bath treatments and I am wonderfully im- proved. In fact my nervousness, stomach trouble and the nauseating effects of catarch are all gone, and, while Rev. Cummings holds that I gm not completely cured, I must cones that I am not conscious of these ti bles. Further I have observed many won- derfu! and marvelous improvements in other patients whom I have met in his sanitarium, and am thoroughly con- vinced that Rev. Cummings’ method is scientific and successful, I would advise persons suffering from stomach. trouble, ‘catarrk~ and nervousness to consult Rev. Cummings at once... T have found him honest and upright in hie business iging! Kind to his patients. “I'sholl be giad to further tell of the good I have re- ceived and the improveinents % have Jobserved'in others.

THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE Dinwiddie, Va.—I am still in Virginia and if I were not here, of course I would be at some other point, and some day I expect to go to heaven. Heaven is my home, but some how or other I have not been home sick yet. I like down here and I find so much pleasure in getting around looking at people. In my last letter I was in Roanoke, Va., the guest of Rev. E. E. Ricks, and when I left there I cane up the N. & W., but I want to here pause and pay my respects to the Norfolk and Western Road, because it is doing so much for my people, and it is because they have as president a real man, a man who is willing to recognize the rights of every other man in the world, President E. L. Johnson. It matters not how black you are, or how white you are, how high or low, if you have any business with President Johnson, you can reach him direct and he will have you sit down and talk with you like you were a human being. He has placed his road on the map with the great railroad systems of this country. Of course we are represented in the general offices, and some of our men hold good positions. I wish that I had the names of all of them that I could tell you about them. I am going to try to get hold of this and let you have it soon. All along the line in the smaller stations you will find men of our race in charge of the baggage room doing the checking. Wonderful. After talking with Messrs. Trent and Poindexter, and talking with the people of Roanoke, and shaking hands with Mr. J. P. Snyder, who is in charge of the office now, because the Chief Clerk Richard P. Royer has gone to war to fight for his country, I shook the dust from my feet and left Roanoke. Now where did I go? Of course I am going to tell you. I made it out at night on what they called "Sixteen." I rode to Burkeville, Va., and got off and went to Amelia. If you will remember I was down there last week, and I have been back again to talk to the people. You will get a slight idea about this, when I called your attention to the fact that the people were anxious to have me come again, and Mrs. Estelle Wingo told me that she would give me all I could eat. I went back, and I tell you the people met me there and gave me an ovation. Now then, I left there the next morning, and made it out to the Ingleside school at Burkeville, which is an institution for our girls. The teachers are all white but one or two exceptions, but they were as friendly as could be, and made me welcome to the M. Rev, C. L. Griffin, General Deputy Organizer for the Supreme Lodge Knights of Gideon, Member Sharon Baptist Association, Agent for the Journal and Guide, and Lecturer, Lock Box 436, Suffolk, Va.

ROYAL ARCH CHAPTER Notice is here given to all the members of Darius Chapter No. 21, that a special meeting will be held at its rooms in the Pine Street Hall on the evening of April the 25th. By order of the H. P., J. W. Easter, I am for DAN, Secretary. school. The president was away, but the women had me to talk to the girls, and when I was through with a general talk, the girls had me to make them a heart to heart talk. I mean the girls of the junior class, and they prepared and sang for me their class song. They were cordial and loud in their invitation for me to return to them. Spending the morning there, at noon, I went to Farmville, where the A. M. E. people were holding their conference, presided over by one of the most polished men of our race, Dr. J. Albert Johnson, D. D., of Philadelphia. He knew I was coming in, had me to take dinner with him, and then stopped the conference to introduce me to them and said some good things about me. I was delighted to see this man, and I want to congratulate the A. M. E. people on having such an able man in their conference. He is going to hold the Baltimore Conference next week. He spent eight years in South Africa, and if you want to hear some good things, just get in conversation with this polished gentleman. I looked around and met Dr. Baker, Dr. Mason. Dr. Baker toted me around in his buggy and invited me to come to his home sometime. I made a good hit with him. Now then next found me at night in Petersburg, where I spent the night, and bright and early next morning got myself together and started for the place where I am now. When I got here over the Seaboard Air Line, I found Prof. Walter S. Woodyard, with a buggy and horse waiting for me. He rushed and got me and toted me and my things to the buggy and soon had me started for the Dinwiddie Industrial school, which is indeed a great institution, with great men and women at the head of it, great men supporting it, for it is under the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, with Bishop G. L. Blackwell, a man who signifies education in his name, president of the board, Rev. G. L. White, vice-president; Prof. G. S. Atkins, recording secretary; Rev. J. W. Martin, corresponding secretary. When Prof. Woodyard shook my hands, I wanted to impress him that I was an educator, and so I could receive special attention, so I just said "Dampusdimpus, Incuretus, seeibus schoolibusti rentus, akilentum." I meant to say to him that I was delighted to come to see the school, teachers and faculty and students and scholars and all the others who helped to make up the school. That young man who is a graduate from Fish University, looked wise at me, but said not a word, until he said "We are going to have the people of the community meet you tonight, and you may say all them big words to them." You see he did not understand what I said and I did not understand it myself, but I wanted to sound big any way and that suited me. But I went to a school the other day, and commenced using them big words and a young woman said to me. "Misterbus, youibus nibus foolibus." I don't know what she said but I bus away from her and have not seen her since. She is some educated woman that knows her Latin. When I commence talking to Mrs. Annie Johnson Woodyard, she did not have her dictionary with her and wanted me to talk to her in plain United States English, and this I agreed to do. I met then the other teachers, Miss Ceretto Desmikes, Mrs. Mannie Riddick and Mrs. Annie Lopez, but I did not talk big dictionary to them, but said just what I could understand myself. Mrs. Lopez is the matron. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to congratulate Bishon Blackwell and his church, and then I want to congratulate Prof. Woodyard on the great work he is doing for God and the race. I am going back to Petersburg, and hope to have a few things to say to you about that in my next. I think I shall send my next letter from Florida.

Brown, who recently at a mass meeting of citizens of both races at the Court House in a speech stated the Negroes of Elizabeth City were as patriotic and as loyal to the flag as any other race anywhere, and that we stood ready to serve the country as home guard, State guard or in any other capacity our services might be required.
