Local Demand For Labor Now At Its High Tide Let the People Know What You Have to Sell. An Advertisement in this Paper will do it. VOLUME XVII. NO.30 Agricultural, Manufacturing, Building And Shipping Industries Require Extra Labor Force To Meet Demands Of Unprecedented Industrial Activity—Wages Higher Here Than Ever Before. Never before in the history of Norfolk and of the State of Virginia has there existed such industrial activity as at present, in agricultural, shipping, manufacturing and building pursuits, creating an unprecedented demand for labor, skilled and unskilled, and at wages better than have prevailed in former years. Seventeen Crops Moving To Market. The great "Spring drive" of the truck farmers began in full blast last week, and at the present time seventeen crops are moving to Northern markets. This crop movement not only creates maximum activity upon surrounding truck farms but increases shipping from this port by approximately twenty-five per cent. This of course calls for more men to handle the freight, as the perishable produce, especially strawberries, must be moved swiftly. The annual strawberry harvest brings out a great army of women and children to the berry fields, this labor being depended upon almost entirely to gather this crop. "Strawberry season" is always a time of prosperity with this element of labor as it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of dollars are paid out to strawberry pickers during this season. Other Industries Equally Active. Other local industries are equally active as agricultural and shipping and the demand for labor is equally as great with them, especially so with the lumber and building supplies industries. In fact the increase in industrial activity is general throughout Virginia and North Carolina, and the government through the newspapers is not only calling upon men to answer the call to arms, but the call is more insistent for men to join the industrial ranks. Negroes are occupying the center of the stage of discussion where the industrial army is concerned, because it is well known that the Negro constitutes the South's greatest labor supply. For that reason and the further reason that the recent migration movement has made great gaps in the ranks of Southern Negro laborers an educational campaign is under way with the purpose of stabilizing this great industrial factor. An eloquent appeal to the common sense and patriotism of the Negro laborer is found in the following editorial from the Raleigh (N. C.) Independent, one of the leading colored journals of the Old North State: "There is no excuse for a single idler in the city of Raleigh today. There is a loud call for workers. Wages are good. Everyone should be encouraged to full use of opportunities. Many gardens all over the city are calling for workers. We may not only help ourselves but contribute very materially to the patriotic forces by actively aiding in producing the supplies necessary in the impending crisis. Negroes should organize themselves into an army of workers. In no way can they be of greater benefit to themselves and their country. The writer is engaged every spare moment in cultivating his garden plot. He finds it difficult to procure help. But for this reason he could employ a number of others at good wages. We should send a clarion call to the race to awake. . . We can all serve our country by serving ourselves." Army Problem Settled By Conscription. When Congress passed the resolution authorizing the raising of a standing army for the present war by conscription it settled the military problems of the country so far as men are concerned, and it remains to be seen now whether the patriotism of the country will be sufficient to supply the industrial ranks and the labor needed for military purposes, or whether the President will have to return to Congress and ask for authority to draft a labor supply. Already there is talk in the North of drafting for industrial and military purposes the thousands of Negroes who have entered the North upon the crest of the migration wave. Several Northern sociologists have advanced this theory as a remedy for social problems that are arising as a result of the Negro exodus. The American Negro is destined to play a large part in the winning of the present war for America and her allies. Upon the stability of our labor depends to a large extent the success of our army and navy. The loyalty, and the extent of every man's duty in this world-erisis are aptly stated by the Dallas (Tex.) Express in the following editorial: "A long while ago a wise man said that civilization stopped with the plow" and he might have added that the war stopped at the same place. Today as an ally to the men in Europe, who are fighting the "German peril," the United States, expects every man to do his duty. While the The Journal and Guide government does not want every man in the army proper, it does want the services of all, both women and children outside the ranks and off the field. "Right here, the man behind the hoe looms large on the horizon and becomes a star of respectable and dependable magnitude. In line of service, it is the duty of every man to go to work. In the crop producing sections, farming must be made intense. The day for a large amount of land and a small amount of attention is past. The waste places, the ditch, banks and fence corners must be planted. Those articles of food and feed upon which life can be sustained must be raised by each family. In other words that hoe hand is a soldier, who raises enough to furnish for himself a livelihood. He is a patriot, who raises anything to spare. With prices soaring and commodities taking passage to foreign lands, coupled with our own large standing army now in the making it does not take a wise man to see that in this war, the man behind the hoe is a factor with whom the country is glad to reckon. CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON THE EXODUS AND OTHER PRESSING PROBLEMS ARE TO BE CONSIDERED Addresses By Dean William Pickens and Chas. Edward Russell—Moorefield Story Will Preside—Spingarn Medal for 1916 Will Be Awarded. Washington, D. C.—Final arrangements have been made for holding the annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Washington, D. C. on May 16 and 17. Mr. Moorefield Storey, the national president, will preside at the evening meeting on the 16th to be held at the First Congregational Church, 10th and G streets, which will be addressed by Dean William Pickens and Charles Edward Russell. The outstanding interest of the evening, however, centers in the presentation of the third Spingarn Medal for distinguished service during 1916, which will be presented this year by Hon. Wesley L. Jones, United States Senator from Washington, a stanch friend of the Negro. The name of the candidate to whom the medal is awarded is not given out until the evening of the presentation. Last year it was awarded to Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young for his services in reorganizing the constabulary of Liberia; and the first medal was conferred upon Dr. E. E. Just for his original researches in biology. The afternoon of the 17th will be devoted to an open conference on the exodus and the pressing problems growing out of the war. Not only our own branches, but leaders and organizations of all kinds are cordially invited to take counsel with the N. A. A. C. P. JOHN H. HARRIS MR. D. S. ALSTON. Mr. Alston has recently been appointed general manager of the Norfolk branch of the Richmond Beneficial Insurance Co. He has fitted up a beautiful office at 444 Bute street where he will be pleased to see his friends. He has with him Mr. W. A. Randolph, as his assistant. Hustling agents are wanted. The Richmond Beneficial pays good salaries to competent agents. Mr. Alston is an insurance man of long experience. TIDEWATER HOSPITAL Acknowledgement—The board of trustees of the hospital wishes to thank the Swastika Club for a donation of $18.75. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, MAY 12, 1917 STAY ON FARM ADVISES LEWIS PRESIDENT OF BAPTIST GENERAL ASSOCIATION URGES PATRIOTIC ACTION. Important Branch Of Baptists Of State Holding Annual Convention In Portsmouth—Dr. Lewis Re-elected President. The annual address of Rev. Z. D. Lewis, of Richmond before the Baptist General Association in Zion Baptist Church in Portsmouth Wednesday morning, was indeed a masterpiece, and full of practical common sense advice to the members of the race as well as members of the Association. Dr. Lewis is one of the most thoughtful men in the race. The Association opened Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock with impressive song and prayer service conducted by Revs. H. R. Williams, of Richmond and R. B. Hardy, of Charlotteville. Rev. J. H. Randolph, of Washington, D. C., led in singing "Jesus Lover of My Soul," and then followed the appointment of Revs. G. E. Read, M. W. Cooke, W. L. Ransom, M. E. Gerst, as committee on enrollment. A committee on finance was appointed consisting of Revs. J. Carter, J. H. Gray, W. Euwell, L. O. Lewis, R. B. Hardy, S. M. Johnson. A number of prominent visitors were introduced together with new delegates, and were given a reception as well as ovation by the ministers. A telegram from the Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, of Philadelphia, announcing that $50 was being sent in next mail for Hovey Boys' Dormitory, Union University, received an ovation, and the corresponding secretary was instructed to answer the telegram. Then followed the feature of the session, President's annual address. It revealed thought, and was freighted with information as well as patriotism. He said in part: "Grim visaged war stands wrapping upon the door. With sword in hand, with rivers of blood and billions of treasure, he calls upon us to surrender to him either our goodly land or the lives of our fathers and sons. "Still possessed of that matchless patriotism with which we have heroically poured out our blood on hundreds of battlefields for the defense of the American flag—let us answer the call of our country in the coming conflict with the foreign foe. Let us give the lie to the unthinkable suspicion entertained by those who are ignorant of our undying loyalty to this government, that we would prove traitors to or be guilty of treason in such a time as this. We have never produced a traitor and never will. "We note with pleasure that black warriors all over this country are rushing to the call of President Wilson, and saying to him and all the world, that they will see Old Glory wave triumphantly over its foes or report to God the reason why. "I am of the opinion that many of us can help immensely in this war by going to the farms and work. Where we raised one stalk of corn last year, one potato, one tomato, we should raise this year. "The temperance forces of this state have scored a victory since our last meeting. On last September, the open saloon, that highway robber and murdered which so long pillaged our homes and murdered our sons and daughters, was driven from our state, so that it is our privilege and pride today to rejoice in a sober commonwealth. The result of this remarkable changes are now being realized in small court dockets, empty jails, fewer criminals, better homes and better attended services in our churches. A wonderful change. "But our work is not yet accomplished; there are those of other states grappling with the monster, whose teeth and claws we have extracted and whose head we have bruised, and we should not slack our efforts until this country enjoys nation wide prohibition, until the United States shall be as dry as the Saharah Desert. Onward in the fight till the white flag of temperance shall wave proudly over the entire country." Each session of the Association was full of interest. Dr. Z. D. Lewis was elected president for another year. The following officers were selected for the Norfolk A. M. E. Preachers' Meeting, May 1st, 1917, President, Rev. S. S. Morris, First Vice President, Rev. S. W. Fuquan, Second Vice President; Rev. G. W. Nicholas, Secretary; Rev. T. W. Cotton, assistant secretary; Rev. W. G. Hamilton, Treasurer; Rev. J. J. Mainor, Chapain; Rev. D. J. Lee, Librarian; Rev. W. H. Davis, Marshal, Rev. C. Moore FARMERS NOTICE. The Great Farmers' Union Meeting's News Reporters will soon call and see what the farmers are doing near Elwood, Va.

D., A. Leader In Baptist Ranks and Has Brilliant Record. Rev. R. J. Langston recently called to pastoral charge of Bank Street Church entered upon his ministerial duties on the first Sunday in April. At the same time a grand rally for the benefits of the Church began and continued until the first Sunday in May but did not end there. Reports showed that $1,800 in cash had been raised, which was highly gratifying to pastor, officers and members, all of whom having put fourth their best efforts in the campaign were crowned with marital success. During the week preceding the first Sunday in May, the installation services were conducted with preaching by the pastor, from some one of the Baptist and other churches in the city, beginning at 7:30 p. m. The sermons and services for the entire week were interesting and enjoyable and on Sunday, May the 6th, the services ended in the installation of the new pastor, Rev. R. J. Langston, who comes to Bank Street, with gift edge endorsements from fields where he has served, especially from Grafton Baptist Church, Middlesex County, which he was serving as pastor when called to Bank street. The following highly commendable resolutions from Grafton Church were also read at the installation services: At a meeting of the Grafton Baptist Church on Saturday, March 24th, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, our pastor, the Rev. R. J. Langston, B. D., has received a call from the Bank Street Baptist Church of Norfolk, Va., and for the purpose of accepting same, has tendered his resignation as pastor of our church, and Whereas, we realize that none but a selfish interest can prompt us to retain him, when a broader field with nobler opportunities is open to him, therefore, be it Resolved, That we accept the resignation which severs our relation as pastors and people with feelings of heartfelt sadness. Resolved, That the six years of faithful service rendered by him to this church have been greatly blessed in unbuilding our church, increasing the membership and creating feelings of Christian fellowship and good will among the members. Resolved, That for his ministering to the temporal wants of the needy and for the spiritual needs of all, for his solicitude and earnest sympathy, which have always brought him to the bedside of the sick and the dying; for his efforts in behalf of the education of the masses, the members of this church and the people of this community owe him a debt of gratitude they can never repay. Resolved, That, in parting, our kindest wishes will ever attend him, and that we recommend him to the church to which he is to minister as one worthy of their full confidence and highest esteem. Resolved, That, we deeply regret the necessity of losing him in our Sunday school work, and most fervently wish for him a future of active usefulness in his chosen field, ever praying that by a well ordered life and a Christian consecration he may at last unite with all the truly faithful in sweeter songs of redemption in the bright hereafter. All evidence points to the fact that the Rev, Langston is a very worthy Christian character and is from a spiritual as well as intellectual point, well equipped for the exalted position to which he is called, having spent twelve years in school the greater part of which in preparation for the ministry at Union University Richmond, a noted Theological School from which he graduated with high honors and with the title of A. B. B. D., which his modesty forbids our using after his name. The installation services took place at 3 p. m. Sunday, May the 6th, with the following very impressive ceremony: Prelude, Organ; Doxology, Choir and Congregation; Invocation, Rev. J. H. Billups; Coronation, Choir and Congregation; Scripture Lesson, Rev. O. C. Jones, B. D.; Anthem, Choir; Sermon, Rev. J. M. Armstead, D. D.; Prayer, Rev. D. W. Harris, D. D.; Music, Choir; Reading Church Covenant, Rev. J. Early Wright; Charge to Pastor, Rev. O. C. Jones; Charge to Church, Rev. A. Hobbs, B. Th.; Welcome on behalf of other denominations, Rev. D. F. White, Rev. Jas. S. Hatcher, B..; Welcome on behalf of citizens, Mr. P. B. Young; Anthem, Choir; Master of Ceremonies, Rev. John R. Custis, S.T. B. In an interview with Rev. Langston, the pastor, he expressed himself as being well pleased with the manner in which he has been received and welcomed and with the cordial welcome extended him by the church as pastor, and especially that extended by the several speakers during the installation services. He is also highly pleased with the success of the rally and the manner in which the officers and members are getting together with determined ef- forts for the success of the church and cause of Christ. The rally will continue until the first Sunday's June with the hope of raising $3,000, the amount set out for. With the spirit of unity and determination now-existing with officers and members we are encouraged to believe that the desired amount will be in sight eve the campaign closes. ROANOKE CITIZENS TAKE OVER HOSPITAL Ownership of Burell Memorial Conveyed to Board of Fifteen Trustees. Roanoke, Va.—The Burrell Memorial Hospital has been recently transferred to the hospital association which is composed of fifteen trustees. Up to the present time, the hospital has most progressed by five doctors, among the most progressed physicians of the city, Dr. Clifton Roberts Downing, Willman, and Cooper. They have carried the burden of the hospital for the last two years at a great sacrifice, and at the same time, maintaining a very high standard of efficiency and service. It has been their aim for sometime to transfer the property into the hands of trustees, but this was impossible without a certain amount of funds. Through their efforts in the recent campaign, led by the Rev. M. E. Davis, a sufficient amount was raised to make the transfer. The property is now in the hands of the Hospital Association, which is composed of fifteen of the leading citizens of the city of Roanoke, and while the doctors have been relieved of a very great burden, they will continue their interest in the institution, and render whatever service necessary to make it a success, as through this institution they have been able to do much practical and effective work. The hospital has made an enviable reputation within the last two years, and only those who have had treatment therein can realize the great good it has done and will do in the future. Now that it belongs to the people of the city of Roanoke, they should make it the best hospital for colored patients in the South by giving it their hearty support. CHURCH STREET BANK OF FERS GREAT OPPORTUNITY Food prices, as well as the price on all other commodities are advancing steadily. Every time one goes to the store for an article they find that they have to pay more than they paid the last time. Especially is the price of flour, sugar, lard and meat, the staple products that our families need at all time advancing. There is certainly at this time no evidence that prices are going to be lower but there is evidence that they will continue to advance. The man or woman, who at this time can afford to lay in store in a barrel or so of flour, a can or so of hard, 100 or more pounds of meat, etc. are the ones that the future advance in prices will not disturb. In an announcement in this week's Journal and Guide, the Church Street Bank is offering the people an opportunity to secure money with which they may lay in an ample supply of provisions or even home furnishings and return the loan in small weekly payments. It is a liberal offer and an excellent opportunity for our people. Meeting Of Norfolk Branch National Association For Advancement Of Colored People. There will be an important meeting of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at Booker T. Washington School (Chicacola street entrance) Monday night, May 14th. Executive and other important committees are to be appointed. All members are urged to be present. P. B. YOUNG, Chairman. MRS. L. E. TITUS, See'y LIBERTY LOAN STOCK People in all sections of the country are showing their patriotism and good judgment by purchasing stock in the Government's Liberty War Loan. Especially good citizens, people who feel that they owe a duty to the country and realize the prestige the ownership of Government bonds gives them. It does not necessarily mean that a man must have a large amount of cash to purchase these bonds, as they can be bought on small weekly or monthly payments. The Church Street Bank offers the small investor the opportunity of purchasing these bonds in this style without any added expense. In doing this the Bank is performing a worthy service to both the country and its clients. "Chamberlain's Tablets Have Done Wonders for Me." "I have been a sufferer from stomach trouble for a number of years, and although I have used a great number of remedies recommended for this complaint, Chamberlain's Tablets is the first medicine that has given me positive and lasting relief," writes Mrs. Anna Kadin, Spenceport, N. Y. "Chamberlain's Tablets have done wonders for me and I value them very highly." For sale by all druggists.

Danville, Va.—Recently the police department of this city has been unduly active in its operations against members of the race, a method that has been pursued blindly and stupidly in many Southern cities in an effort to check the Negro exodus. The Danville Register, the leading daily of the city sees in such treatment a menace to the welfare of the city, and expresses editorially what is growing to be the enlightened sentiment and attitude of the South toward the Negro. The Register stated its disapproval of the policy of the police in the following editorial: JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO "Whether the plea be popular or unpopular and whether any one like or dislike it, we deem it a duty to plead for justice to the Negro residents of this city and every other city. Recently the police department of the city appears to have conceived a revived zeal in the enforcement of the anti-vagrancy law. Well and good, so long as the law is fairly indiscriminately enforced, but if it is to be applied only in the case of the Negro, then we had far better repeal the law and submit to the evils that law was designed to abate, rather than have an incomplete and discriminating application of the law. In a word, if the police department of the city propose to enforce that law, it is easy to find dozens of white men, many of them well dressed, who have no visible or reputable and lawful employment or means of earning a livelihood. Idleness is not good, either for the Negro or for the white man, but it becomes as much an evil and a temptation to evil in the case of the well dressed white man as in that of the humble and obscure Negro. We favor the enforcement of the vagrancy law, and believe that even its victims are benefited ultimately if they be impelled thereby to abandon a habitual idleness which is a constant opportunity and temptation, not to say an impulse to wrong-doing. "This city eight or nine years ago had a curfew law, which required all of certain ages to keep off the streets after a specified hour, unless accompanied by and in charge of their elders with authority over them. We have no such law now, yet the police department may charge any one with loitering and the charge sustained by the officer's statement is sufficient to insure a conviction in many cases. "We say it without hesitation and without fear: The humble Negro does not get justice in this city in many cases and is often the victim of the rigors of the law. And yet the people of the city are perturbed just now because Negro laborers are being coaxed to go elsewhere to seek employment. Let us offer them employment and be more careful to see that they are not discriminated against in the application and enforcement of the laws. It is admitted that many Negroes are guilty of misdemeanors and not a few of crimes, but, it is not just to the members of the whole race to judge them by the reputation of a few. If Danville desires to retain its Negro labor, let us be more careful not to impose hardships upon them. The guilty Negro deserves punishment. So does the guilty white man. But the inoffensive Negro must be given the protection of the laws and not made an arbitrary victim of its rigors." HENDERSON, N. Q (T. R. Eaton.) A Literary program was rendered at the First Baptist Church on Sunday night, May 6th, under the uspsies of the Senior B. Y. P. U., and the Junior Barnes Class to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the Sabbath School in America. Mr. Chester Arthur Eaton, formerly of Henderson, now of Fayetteville, visited friends and relatives in our city on Thursday, May 3rd, while on an automobile tour. Miss E. C. Young, of Pittsburg, Pa., and Miss E. L. Sawyer, of Providence, R. L., both teachers in the graded school, left for home on Saturday. Little Willie Green, an orphan boy, who, for several years has been shifting for himself, became mortally wounded on Sunday as the result of a terrible cut by a Mrs. Lane, of South Henderson, who up to this time has successfully evaded the officers. The wounded child was taken to the Jubilee Hospital, where he died shortly afterwards. PETERSBURG. The first Metropolitan Baptist Church had its largest crowd all day its very loving pastor, Rev. Eli Tarte baptized one hundred and some odd candidates, which was a happy time. Rev. Eli Tarte is planning now to build a church to hold 3,000 people. May the Lord continue to bless this young man in his good works. FREE STYLE BOOK --- HAIR --- To Colored Women We are the largest manufacturers of Colored Women's Hair.

The first quarterly meeting under the new administration was held Sunday, April 29. Dr. f. L. Berry, the new presiding elder of the Portsmouth district, preached at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. The membership was well represented at both services to greet him. At the morning service he used as his theme "The Only Name." So vividly did he show Jesus Christ to be the only One by whom all men might be saved, that he thrilled the souls of his hearers. On the following Tuesday might the quarterly conference was held. The reports read were the best of previous years. The pastor, Dr. E. H. Hunter, left the city Tuesday for Kittrell, N. C., to attend the commencement exercises of Kittrell College, and the annual meeting of the board of trustees. He will be back to fill his pulpit on Sunday, and expects to preach at both morning and evening services.

CAN'T LOSE HAIR CAN'T LOSE HAIR Twenty Years From Today a Baldheaded Man Will Be An Unusual Sight. One of the most prominent druggists of America made a statement a few weeks ago which has caused a great deal of discussion among scientists in the medical press. He said: "If the new hair grower, Mildredina Hair Remedy, increases its sales as it has during the past year, it will be used by nearly every man, woman and child in America within eight years. "When Mildredina Hair Remedy is used almost universally, dandruff will disappear and with its departure baldness, itching scalp, splitting hair and all such scalp diseases will follow and twenty years from new a bald head will be a rarity." Sample sent for 10c to pay postage. Mail orders filled by Mildred Louise Co., Boston, Mass. advised all members to take her as a model and shape their lives accordingly. Solo, "One Solenn Thought," by Mr. Wm. McLaurin. He sang as never before and made an everlasting impression on the audience. Mrs. Hill as a patient, by her medical adviser, Dr. M. D. Bowen. His address was timely and full of pathos and thought. He said "I have been visiting many patients in the twenty-two years of my life as a medical doctor, but Mrs. Hill was the most patient one I have ever visited, and she was possessed with the greatest physical endurance and christian fortitude. We will not forget the remarks of the doctor, Sister Hill as a Sunday School Scholar, by her Supt., Prof. T. H. Sneed, who in a quiet manner told of her life as a scholar. He said she was a quiet and energetic, ever dutiful and willing to do what she could for the progress of her school. He told us how she helped him by her advice. Mrs Hill as a Scholar, by her Teacher, Mrs. Carolina Meltie, who spoke of her first as a sister, for they were both converted and baptized at the same time, thus they always fell very closely allied. Then as a scholar she remarked that there was not one to surpass her in her class as a dutiful and faithful scholar in every respect. She closed by singing Mrs. Hill's favorite song, "Shall We Meet Beyond the River?" Quartette, "Jesus Savior Pilot Me" by Mesdames Fennel, Hudson, Murphy and Kelly. The entire congregation was captivated by the sweet strains of those noted singers. This is the best female quartette in the city. Mrs. Hill as a member in the Missionary Circle, by Mrs. Sarah Spear, who so fittingly spoke in her quiet, unassuming manner if the good work done by Mrs. Hill as a devotee and conscientious missionary, always trying to scatter sunlight wherever she could. She said if Sister Hill was absent from any meetings you would know that she was sick. Mrs. Spear closed with a beautiful poem. Mrs. Hill as a member of the Missionary Circle, by Mrs. Tinie Spicer. She said some very touching things about the goodness and kindness of Mrs. Hill to the less fortunate, thus showing to us the Christlike spirit within her. Closing remarks by the pastor, Rev. D. B. Mdodona, A.B., B.D.

Entered as Second-Class matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Virginia, under Act of March 3d, 1867. Saturday, May 12, 1917 NOTES OF THE WAR. It is interesting to note that the Allies have been driving the Germans before them for the past ten days, and that matters look equally for the Central Powers which forced the war and the issues of the war. It is also said that Germany is preparing to submit a new basis for peace. We have heard that many times before. If they do not so soon, and if it should not be favorably considered, the Kaiser may in the end have to take the terms General Grant offered General Lee "Immediate and unconditional surrender." It is reported by way of Washington and New York that the Negroes of Cuba, in the Province of Oriente, to the number of 15,000, are in rebellion against the Cuban Government, and that they are burning and terrorizing American property and men with the purpose of forcing the American Government to take over the government of Cuba. We think their leader and spokesman, General Blas Maso, talks too much about what he intends to do, which is a prevailing failing everywhere of Negro people, to do anything, when the smoke of it all clears away. We are a rich, and, too often, a vain- glorious Nation, but we mean well, although we often do villainously badly. When the Liberty Loan, or bond issue, of $2,000,000,000, was opened in Washington last week, subscriptions poured in so rapidly upon the Treasury Department as to un- mistakably indicate that the loan would be over-subscribed. It is conceivable that the $7,000,000,000 loan authorized for war purposes will be easily taken over as it is offered by the Government to the public. There has been a big rumpus in Congress and the public press over the proposition to authorize Col. Theodore Roosevelt to organize and carry a legion to the European war front, in which politics have played a conspicuous part, as they always do in such war assignments. It is feared in many quarters that if Col. Roosevelt should be allowed to go to Europe he would pick up so much fame and glory as to sweep him into the White House in 1920. Perhaps. But don't white folks figure down to the second and far ahead! They sure do; so should colored people. The situation is made all the more interesting because both France and Great Britain want the precious Colonel to head an American legion on the European war front. Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, of New York, and a delegation, waited upon Secretary of War Baker recently and asked that a camp be assigned at Plattsburg, New York, or other places, for the training of colored officers for colored soldiers. The Secretryn said he had the matter under advisement and desired to do what would please the colored people. In the meantime it appears that such a camp has been provided for in the far West and Lieut.-Col. Young of the Regular Army, has charge of it. No better equipped person, or one more in sympathy with the work than Col. Young, could have charge of it. Those who are opposed to a separate school or training school for colored officers have made a great deal out of the refusal of Secretary Baker to give Dr. Spingarn's delegation a definite answer as to what the War Department will do in the matter, but, it seems to us, they have been barking up the wrong tree. We are bound to get the colored officers, along the lines of least resistance, and we are in a fair way to get them, segregation or no segregation. Of course, The Journal and Guide is opposed to segregation, but are we to deny ourselves the best in American life possible to us, thus losing the chance of working up into the best, because we are forced to accept segregation to do so? We think not. Let us take what we can get and make the most of it. The extraordinary demands upon the industrial resources of the country in the present war times gives the working man a chance long sought by some to reach an adjustment in the matter of wages, working time and working conditions in accordance with the ideals of intelligent and efficient labor. The chance exists now to arrive at this adjustment without the necessity of an unpleasant conflict between capital and labor, such as was threatened by the railway trainmen prior to the war. The patriotic impulses of both employers and employees should and doubtless will prompt them to make many concessions necessary upon both sides to bring about working conditions and living conditions satisfactory to capital and labor alike. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE believes that the time is propitious for bringing about a better understanding between employers and employees in the South. The time is propitious for establishing better relations, for establishing better working conditions and better living conditions for working men and women and their families. In arriving at this happy medium it will be necessary for both employers and employees to make some concessions, and The Journal and Guide by reason of recent investigations is sufficiently in touch with sentiment, local and State, to know that the ground has been prepared, so far as the employing classes are concerned, for bringing about that understanding so necessary and so much desired. The agricultural and industrial organizations of the South require, at the present time especially, steady and efficient labor. Such labor is needed in larger forces than ever and where it can be obtained it is going to command proper treatment and consistent wages. And the considerations shown steady and efficient labor in the future will not stop at the mere matter of consistent wages, but must extend to a human interest on the part of the employing classes in the housing conditions and social conditions generally surrounding the working classes. It is encumbent upon the Negroes of the South who constitute the main labor supply to furnish the steady and efficient labor needed at the present time. The making of efficient labor requires the slow processes of education and vocational training, but there is much that can be done with the material at hand to bring about just such improvements in the efficiency of the present labor supply as will secure better wages and better living and working conditions. In a recent issue THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE pointed out that one of the direct causes of low wages in the South was the disinclination of a large element of Negro workers to make full time. This custom always created the impression that such laborers needed only a certain amount of money to meet their needs and would work only a sufficient number of days to get this amount. The employing classes have naturally felt that to raise the wages of this element would only reduce their working time, and the experiment tried has proven true many times. It appears that this class of workers is to be found mostly in the shipping and manufacturing industries. The remedy for them is to increase their wants. To raise their ideals. It occurs to us that this situation affords the labor and fraternal organizations existing among these men an excellent opportunity to bring about reforms among this class of laborers that will result in increased wages and better conditions generally for all concerned. The coal trimmers, dock and transportation workers, hod carriers and other organizations can all unite in this work of raising the labor standard and THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE feels sure that in such an enterprise they will have the hearty co-operation of the employing classes. Co-operation between employers and employees will bring about many desired reforms in the South, including higher efficiency standards among the laboring classes. The time has arrived now when white people and black people should stop talking about each other and begin to talk to each other. If the results of migration are to be overcome and the causes of migration largely removed white and black people in the South, whose interests are identical, must begin to plan and think along identical lines. CONSERVATION OF FOODSTUFFS Happily for the country those in charge of its affairs are wise enough to see and appreciate the fact that the conservation of foodstuffs, as well as the production of them, is the primary thing to be looked after in the present conflict we are engaged to protect American lives and interests at home and on the high seas. The Journal and Guide saw this to be the case when the war began in Europe, and then proposed that the Government should exercise its authority in preventing the export of foodstuffs in excess of the home demand, in order that we should have no foodstuff shortage or unnecessary inflation of prices for foodstuffs. Now that we are engaged in a great war the conservation of foodstuffs, as well as the production of them, becomes of the first importance. This is now recognized to be true by our own Government and by the High Commission of the European Allies now in this country. The importance of this measure of conservation of foodstuffs is occupying much of the attention of the Congress as well as that of the President and his advisors in the conduct of the war. The following Associated Press dispatch will show what our Federal law-makers think of those who, when there is an abundance of foodstuffs in the country, insist upon cornering them and raising the prices of them to consumers so high as to make for a condition of hardship, especially among the poor, bordering on famine conditions. The dispatch says: Washington, May 2.—The rising sentiment in Congress for legislation to meet the nation's food problems broke out in the Senate today in a debate that started over the high price of seeds, but developed into denunciations of food speculators with predictions that the best way to deal with them was to string them to lamp posts or put them behind prison bars. Senators from farming states denied that there is any real shortage of staple foods in the United States. Senator John Sharp Williams declared there had been a hysteria throughout the country, and that the cause of the THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE high prices was largely psychological. He said he believed the German corruption fund recently unearthed in a federal court in New York may have been responsible for the hysteria. Word should go straight out from the Senate, Senator Williams said, that there is no shortage of food. Senators Nelson and McCumber agreed that there is no reason to fear a shortage. The attack on the speculators was led by Senators Thomas and Borah. The Colorado Senator declared they were the real enemies of the nation, expressed the hope Congress would not adjourn without passing legislation that would remedy the evil, and said the lamp post is the thing to cure such speculation. Before the debate turned to other things, Senator Thomas introduced an amendment to the espionage bill empowering the President by proclamation to suspend during the war the operation of boards of trade and chambers of commerce which deal in futures. He had it sent to the table for later consideration. Senator Borah predicted a world famine if the war lasts two years, and if extraordinary and sustained efforts are not made here to meet the food problem. He attacked the packers, declaring they made enormous profits, and said speculation and monopoly in food-stuffs made millions for those who were responsible and made "peons of the people." He favored conscription of food and government possession of the packing companies. Food speculation, he said, would not be ended until the speculators "are put in stripes behind the bars." Senator Nelson suggested that if some of the "statesmen concerned about this situation" would go to Minnesota and assure the farmer of good climatic conditions, the wheat crop there would take care of itself. Senator McCumber said the nation should have a wheat surplus this year of more than 200,000,000 bushels after feeding itself and providing for seeding. No; there is no shortage of foodstuffs in the country now; there has been none since the war in Europe began three years ago; but the price of foodstuffs has constantly advanced, because the speculators in foodstuffs were allowed to buy up and corner the whole output, and to compel the consumers at home to pay the high prices which they demanded of the belligerents in Europe. It is, therefore, of the first importance that the Government should take hold of the matter, and regulate not only the production of foodstuffs but the prices that shall be paid for them, not only by the consumers at home but by our Allies in Europe; and, as charity should begin at home, and spread itself abroad only when all goes well at home, adequate provision should be made to prevent the export of foodstuffs in excess of the needs of the people of this country. From week to week The Journal and Guide will present to its readers phases of this matter of foodstuff production and conservation, for their information and guidance. FORTY-NINE YEARS OF HAMPTON INSTITUTE. The forty-ninth annual report of the principal of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal, has just reached The Journal and Guide. The announcement is made by the principal that next year, 1918, the school will reach its fiftieth year of existence, and that the event will be properly commemorated. It will also mark the twenty-fifth year as principal and thirty-eight consecutive years of service of Dr. Frissell, General Armstrong having served twenty-five years as founder and principal of the school. The two records make an unexampled one of fifty years of service and usefulness for Afro-American uplift which can never be adequately estimated or appreciated. Then, too, if there had been no Hampton and General Armstrong there may have been no Tuskegee and Booker T. Washington, and without them during the past fifty years, the Afro-American people would be poor indeed in the good and necessary work which they have accomplished, and for which we are all grateful. For the information and inspiration of the readers of The Journal and Guide let us make a brief summary of the work of the Humpton Institute. The principal says that it is the policy of the Institute not to give its diploma to any boy or girl who has failed to gain sufficient knowledge and ability to practice some vocation. The enrollment for the year was 934. When the four instead of the three year course has been finally established the school will need a student body of 1200 students. The insistent demand for more and better teachers, as set forth by Mr. Arthur D. Wright, State Agent for Rural Schools in Virginia, is used as argument to increase the efficiency of the Institute's work in this important matter. Of the 1330 applicants for teachers' certificates last year, Mr. Wright says, only 854 were accepted, the failure of the 65 per cent. being due to faulty preparation. The Robert C. Ogden Auditorium, the foundation of which was laid at the last anniversary, will be the central building, the gathering point of many people from all sections of the country, and the theatre of many gatherings of various kinds connected with the Institute work, some 20,000 pilgrims now visiting Hampton annually. The building will accommodate some 2,400 persons and cost some $200,000. There are also several other large buildings in course of construction. Great emphasis is laid by Principal Frissell upon the agricultural work and needs of the Institute. It is purpose to buy and add 230 acres of land to Hemenway Farm, which they adjoin, and which are needed for extension of the work. The total number of students in the trade school is 262. The average cost per student receiving training in the Trade School is $78.81; the students' earnings amounting to $24,894.73 for the year. The requirement of a higher academic standing to enter the Trade School has resulted in a smaller number falling out during their course. There are 348 girls in the Institute, and, says the report, "the girls' industries are each year becoming more distinctively educative and more closely connected with the academic and other departments of the institution." Again: "Hampton is fortunate in the fact that the students have so many chances to learn to do by doing." The plan of bringing a number of the leading colored ministers of Virginia to preach to the students was carried out successfully last summer, and the Associate Chaplain in turn preached in a number of the colored churches of the State. The Summer Conference of colored ministers brought together a company of strong men." HEALTH TALKS PREVENTIVE AND REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION of HEALTH. By DR. J. W. PIERCE This is an inflammation of the mouth which may run from a simple to a very serious condition. Sometimes it is circumcised or confined to small areas, and sometimes it is more generally distributed. Often the physician is called upon to treat a stomatitis that taxes his resources in getting it under control. The simple ones, as it were, seem to be most born and respond less readily to treatment. These are simple in expression, but serious in reality from factors causing it. These factors or a large proportion of them are preventive and a little care and forethought would often save a good deal of unpleasant experience and suffering. Many sore mouths in both children and grown-ups are due to certain habit of life that should be corrected. Particularly is this true in the former, for it is with this young class the physician has to deal. Let us consider some of the probable common causes of stomatitis. These are simple from casual observation but none the less true when taken under careful study. The first is the habit that children have in putting coins into their mouths when parents send them off errands. The mouth seems to them to be a convenient purse in which to keep safe money entrusted to them, but it is a little difficult to say how much harm is done to the mouth by this practice or habit. When money reaches the average individual it has passed through many channels, some of which are fraught with disease and quite frequently can promote a true luck to some coin that was carried in the mouth for some distance. This fact is not only true with children, but older people are guilty of the same mistake and bad habit. The carrying of coins in the mouth is a factor for ill health and should be discouraged and corrected. The second one is the habit of eating fruits without preparing them before entering the mouth. Often you see children and older folks too go to The various extension work departments of the Institute have been very successful during the past year. The physical condition of the students is excellent, and boast is justly made that "Hampton's football eleven has won the championship for the Negro schools in the North Atlantic section and done much to promote clean athletics. The school's victories at football and basketball have created a new enthusiasm for their alma mater among its own graduates, and respect from other institutions which perhaps no other successes could bring. The clean living and regular habits of the Hampton students are largely responsible for their triumphs." And for a surety, they will, by the same token, lead to success in other occupations of life than athletics, which is largely regarded as a pastime, but is, as a matter of fact, a very necessary business and part of a rounded education. The Summer School had 458, many teachers having been refused admission because of lack of room. We are all glad that General Armstrong founded Hampton Institute, and lived long enough to see his great faith justified in the success of his work; and we are all glad that Dr. Frissell was chosen, twenty-five years ago, quite, to continue the good work established by General Armstrong, and to carry it forward to its fiftieth anniversary, "full of years and with its honors thick upon it." FALSE STATEMENTS IN THIS CASE REPLied TO AND TRUTHFULLY CORRECTED. It having recently been brought to my notice that false statements are still being made, relative to Rev. M. G. Christmas and the trial which was held at Suffolk, Va., last summer, I being an eye witness to the entire trial, avail myself of this opportunity of relating the facts in the case as testified to in court. I do this solely for the sake of justice and truth that those who wish to know the truth may have a record. I was a close observer at the trial and shall state the facts and whole truth in the case to the end that false impressions made by designing parties may be corrected. Not a single witness testified in court to his ever having burned the little girl in any way, whatever, or that he ever had her to sleep from under his roof a single night. But, on the contrary, the little girl herself, making a very intelligent witness, testified emphatically that he had never burned her in any way whatever or had her sleep anywhere except in his house. That he had been kind to her. That she had a comfortable room and bed up stairs in his house, but he did one night have her sleep in a chair in the cook room. Rev. Christmas and others told why she was made to sleep in the cook room that night, was because she had rendered her room unfit to sleep in, and that they kept fire for her all night. As to the little girl's feet, two intelligent witnesses of unimpeachable character, from her former home, tes- PETER B. a fruit stand, make purchase of apples, plums, peaches, etc., and start right off to eat them before putting them in the proper condition to be eaten. Like the coin, these fruits have passed through the hands of many people, some of whom have had health constitutionally, and some form of skin disease which may be transferred through the apple or peach. If it is not convenient to wash the apple, peach or plum before eating them, they at least ought to be peeled. The outer covering of the fruit is nature's protective coat, keeping from contamination the portion within which is to be eaten. The filth, dirt and germs are confined on the outside and should be removed before taking such fruits in the mouth. A third bad habit which works against health is the free use of cheap candies that are highly colored with paints and other coloring matter. The poisons in these coloring matters are of such large quantities at times that they become directly irritative to the mucous membrane of the mouth, and in less time than one would anticipate, an inflammation has developed. There are many chemicals in these dyes used for coloring candy and they set up sore mouths with some people. Another thing about this cheap candy is that it is handled with the hands of the deliciate person than a scoop, whose fingers are often deminitated and filthy. It is a wonder that more are not affected by cheap candy. A fourth one is the habit of taking too frequently certain drugs such as enamel (mercury) and arsenic, etc. This is to be discouraged, and one is to be instructed as to quality, quantity and time of employment. A fifth habit is the failure of preparing certain vegetables that are eaten in the raw state or condition. The soil from which they are gathered is often teeming with germs that cause mouth infection. And care should be exercised to protect one's health. Stomachitis due to the five causes mentioned and many others of a preventive nature, can be reduced by care and proper attention. tified that she had been greatly exposed to severe cold. One of these witnesses testified that she was late one afternoon dodging about in the bushes near his house, for some cause, having run away from her parents, and, that he, during the night, hearing a noise about his home, investigated and found this little girl out there, barefooted and very shivery cold, and that it was a very cold and frosty night. He took her in and made fire that she might warm. The other witness, being a nearer neighbor to the little girl's parents, testified that he had often seen her locked out doors, even in inclement weather, and that because of the severity of the cold, he had taken the authority to invite or carry her to his house for shelter. All this happened a short while before she went to live with Rev. Christmas. Not a particle of this evidence was contradicted by a living soul. All the spectators at the trial were greatly surprised at the verdict and could only account for it being such because on the day of his arrest he whipped her and made one bleeding scar and that he failed to have a doctor treat her sore feet, which sores or cold bites supposed to have been contracted at her feet. But she was subjected to such severe cold and exposure as referred to above. W. F. YOUNG. A Symbol of Health. The Pythagorinns of Ancient Greece ate simple food, practiced temperance and purity.

City Physicians Explain Why They Prescribe Nuxated Iron To Make Beautiful, Healthy Women and Strong Vigorous Men NOW BEING USED BY OVER THREE MILLION PEOPLE ANNUALLY Quickly transform the flabby flesh, toneless tissues, and pallid cheeks of weak, anemic men and women into a perfect glow of health and beauty—Often increases the strength of delicate, nervous, run-down folks 100 per cent in two weeks’ time. New York, N. Y.—It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually in this country alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results have been reported from its use both by doctors and laymen, that a number of physicians in various parts of the country have been asked to explain why they prescribe it so extensively, and why it apparently produces so much better results than were obtained from the old forms of organic iron. Extracts from some of the letters received by the press prove worse than useless. Many an athlete and prize-fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down in inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron." Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician n d Medical A u th so says, "There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. F. King, M.D. Pallor means anaemia. Anemia means iron deficiency. The skin of anemic men and women is pale. The flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails and they often become weak, nervous, irritable, dependent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks. In the most common foods of Amerien, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white brand, soda crackers, biscuits, maceroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sango, farin, degerminated cornmeal no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste-pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked is responsible for other grave iron loss. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test. See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxtated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous. Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youth, please either to a ripe old age, you must supply the youthful vim and must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt. T.A. Wallace, M.D. Dr. T. Wallace, a physician of many years experience in this country and who has been given many honorary titles in England an ys "Nuxatled Iron" gives the weak and run down that great vim, energy and endurance so envied by the weak-ling. Its widespread use should bring about the most startling results everywhere. The pale anemic, nervous people now seen at every turn shuffling Hilelessly along the streets should become sturdy, alert men and women of snappy stride, brimming over with vim and vitality.

Many an athlete and prize-fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who has studied both in this country and in Great European Medical Institutions says: "As I have said a hundred times over organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxatol Iron when they feel weak or rundown, instead of dosing themselves with habit-forming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages I am convinced that in this way they could ward off diseases, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases and thereby the lives of thousands might be saved." In another case, the nurse, gripe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and other dangerous mollitudes. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood. filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down in inorganic defeat simply for the lack of iron." M. B. Dr. Schuyler C. Jauques, Visiting Surgon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital of New York City, said, "I have never before given another medical Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of vixor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact a young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The secret he said was taking iron—nuxated iron had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health; at 46 he was careworn and nearly all in—now at 50 after taking Nuxated Iron a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. information or advice for publication as I ordinarily do not believe in it. But in the case of Nuxatoid Iron I feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention it. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish quickly to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy." Dr. Howard James, late of the Manhattan State Hospital of N. Y., and formerly assistant Physician, Brooklyn State Hospital, says: "Pupils in an anatomy Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pule and sickly-looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. tients in an enervated and devitalized state of health, those for instance convalescing from protracted revers, those suffering from a long-standing case of anemia, all such people, in my opinion, need iron.

NOTE—Nuxated iron, which is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and America. Unlike the older inorganic iron products it is easily assimilated does not injure the teeth, makes them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The manufacturers have such great confidence in nugated iron, that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under their robe back iron and increase their iron supply by 100-100 weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to return your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time. It is dispensed in this eitr by all good druggists. run-down people who were ailing all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of disgusia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days time, simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron nectate, or tincture of iron simply by taking iron in the form that nature for the red color matter in the blood of her children is, also, not that kind of iron.

Norfolk Hydro Sanitarium 719 Washington Avenue NORFOLK, VA. LETTER OF THANKS AND TESTIMONY TO REV. CUMMINGS My little girl, Annie, between 14 and 15 years old, was taken some time ago with a very peculiar sickness. I then called my family physician as usual, to see what was the matter with the child. Prior to this child, her elder sister died about a year or more age with this same trouble. The physician, after trying for some time on the child, she continued to sink worse and worse. In so much that there was no sleep for her at night, could not eat, when we tried to sit her up and give her her medicine, she would vomit up and fall back in bed. Myself and wife hadn't any sleep for nine days and nights, sitting up with the child. My physician then decided there was no hope for the child, that he could not do anything for her; he said that her sister died with the same disease she has. I became alarmed. I remembered that there was a woman across the street by the name of Mrs. Cuffee, whose daughter had been sick over a year, and she had been given over as no hope and she was cured by Dr. Cummings. I then asked Mrs. Cuffee if she would tell me where Dr. Cummings lived. She then directed me to Dr. Cummings, I went at once to his Norfolk Sanitarium, that hour of the night, told him my trouble. He decided to go to my house at once with me. As he saw the child in a hopeless condition, he asked me who is the physician attending to her, I told him. He asked if the physician had given up his attendance. I told him what the physician said. He then said to me, I will have to bring the child to the institution at once, for the child can be saved if she is brought without delay. I ran right out and got me a buggy. I put my child right into it and took her to the Sanitarium. That was Friday night, Saturday morning. I came back expecting to hear that the child was dead, when I came I found my child sitting up in a chair. With the help of the Lord my child continued to improve steadily, and after thirty days she was completely cured of all her trouble. Friends this is one thing I do know, that my child is in my home a cured child. I know not how she was cured, but this I do know, that this great work which has been done upon my child, it brought her out saft of all her trouble. 'May God continue his blessings on Rev. Commings, that he may continue to heal the poor ladies of the human family. I am, yours truly, MATTHEW JOHNSON, 1251 Princess Anne Ave., Norfolk, Va.

Miss Mary Tines, a Kittrell student, was united with us. At night we compiled with the mayor's proclamation and had Baby Week services. The pastor preached special sermon on "The Mother Heart of Jesus." Text Mark 10:16; Lk. 19:10. He exposed the strength of the feminine, and urged us to work and pray for better homes, better mothers and better churches: He exposed the violence done to the home when the mother left her children to attend clubs, sewing circles, theatres and even church services. He said the highest service a mother could do a church, community or humanity was to be good keepers at home and rear children to useful citizenship; and that there was no apology for a mother neglecting her home even for the church. God never authorized the dissolution of the home to build up the church, the conception is absurd. Sunday, May 13, will be "Organization Day." Come on time. The plans for the year will be set forth; 100 converts; a lovely fellowship and $1000 are the blessing we hope to realize and enjoy. Come thou with us. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES.

The Spring Festival, given by the Swastika Club, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, April 17th and 18th, proved, despite the war times to be successful. The total net receipts were $63.00. Of this amount, $18.75 was given to the Old Folks Home, $18.75 to the Children's Aid Society, $18.75 to the Tidewater Hospital and $18.75 to the Y. W. C. A. The officers and members wish to extend their thanks to all the parents who let them use their children and to all who in any way helped to make the occasion a success. The balance left in the treasury from last year enabled the club to give the $75.00 to these worthy charities. WANTED—Three Waitresses and a First Class European Cook.

He found that this section of the county is one that may be noted for having many, or more, of our very best and most substantial business men and farmers of the whole county. Holland itself is not large enough to accommodate but so many colored people, but it is well backed up by a thickly farming population of the very best. The Cross-Holland & Co., under the management of that fustling young man, Mr. G. G. Holland, is doing a large mercantile business with something like $2000 stock. The company is owned by five of the most substantial farmers of this section. Men who do not only own paid-for farms, but who own paid-for automobiles, horses and mules. This company is doing a most successful business. It lives in its own brick building. Add to this, Mr. Obadiah Walden, a young man of great business qualities, who is in business by himself. He carries something like $1000 or $2000 stock of general merchandise, and does business in his own two story brick building. I learned that he owes but very little. He stands at about the head of our young business men of the county, and he is safe. The occasion of my visit was to address the teachers, students and patrons of the Laurel-Hill school. Mrs. Ruth Howell is the principal of this one of our most successful county schools. And she has been its most acceptable principal for the last ten years. She is highly respected, and her work is appreciated, simply because she is a teacher. She is well assisted by Miss Marion Hankins, a recent graduate of the Petersburg school, of Farmville, Va. This school can produce one of the best country-school exercises that it has been my pleasure to see. Among the other interests, I noticed that many of the farmers out here have bought themselves automobiles. I counted about a dozen owned by these Negro farmers: Paid for? I don't know. But they have them. I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Holland, who are among the most successful business farmers of the county. In addition to the paid-for, well-kept and beautiful home-farm on which they live, they have recently bought another nearby farm of more than a hundred acres. They have good mercantile interests in Holland. Their automobile was placed to my use, and I used it. Mrs. Holland is an ideal hostess, and is very fond of reading the Journal and Guide. TAPPAHANNOCK, VA. (G. B. Basket). On Tuesday, May 1st, the Rappahannock Industrial Academy, Essex County, held its commencement exercises. The Farmers' Conference was held in the morning. The discussion proved very helpful to the farmers of this section. The farmers, are realizing the situation and every available piece of land is being tilted. Major Washington of Hampton Institute was to have been the speaker of the day, but found that he would be unable to be present; Captain Brown, also of Hampton, gave a very inspiring address. Prof. W. E. Robinson is the principal. On Thursday the King and Queen High School held their exercises. They also held a very interesting Farmers' Conference. Dr. P. G. Dabney, one of the leading physicians of Tappahannock, delivered a masterly address which was cordially received. He told how many diseases were preventable, how the lives might be lengthened by right living. In the afternoon there was held the regular Commencement exercises. There were four graduates. Rev. J. A. Martin of Tappahannock, gave some very timely remarks. Rev. S. P. Young principal. At the Rally Sunday at the Berean Baptist Church, Miss Jennie Pollard won the prize for having raised the largest amount of money. Rev. P. R. Liverpool is the pastor. Messrs.

The Choral Class of the Henderson Normal Institute, under the direction of Miss L. B. Anderson, rendered the sacred cantata, "Rebecca," to a large and appreciative audience on the night of the twenty-ninth. The student body formed a large part of the Vance County Patriotic Parade. Principal Cotton delivered the address, which was favorably commented upon by the press and public generally. "Silas Marner," a drama in four acts, was presented by Miss F. M. Jones, head teacher of the English Department, supervised it. Mr. Littleton M. Smith of Norfolk, starred as Silas Marner. The commencement program is out. The exercises will begin Thursday, May 10th, at eight-thirty, and close Thursday, May 17th, at ten-thirty, when the Annual Commencement will be held. Friends of the institute are invited. COMO, N. C. (J. T. Riddick). The pastor of Mill Neck Baptist Church, Rev. William Reid, preached last Sunday to the young men. Although the weather was gloomy there was a large number present. Mr. D. P. Winborn and Miss Emily Rogers were married a few days ago. Mr. Tillman Vann and Miss Ruth Rogers were also married, now the oldest brother, Mr. Richard Rogers, and Miss Mary Riddick married. Misses Annie M. Copeland and Myrick have returned home after attending school at Elizabeth City, N. C. Mr. Leroy Riddick visited his brother in Portsmouth last Sunday.

TIRED OF LIFE Constant Backache and Rheumatism Foley Kidney Pills fixed up Texas brakeman so he's good as ever. Almost down and out with kidney trouble. Rheumatism so bad he could scarcely get up when he sat down, and he would never do. No wonder Mr. F. A. Woolley, brakeman on the road from Dallas to Jackson, Texas, "was tired of living." "I saw Foley Kidney Pills advertised," he said. "I took some and after a short time I was thoroughly cured and am having no more trouble. I am not having any pain—and with them the backache and rheumatism, by the use of Foley's Kidney Pills. Once your kidneys become strong and active, aches and pains will disappear like magic. There's nothing to equal the genuine pain and the bloody trouble not beyond the reach of medicines. Contain no harmful drugs. Try them." ICE! Who is your Ice Man? See W.H.

C., this week. The public school teachers are asking for an increased salary in both the city and the county. Sentiment is that they ought to have it. They have to buy things just as all others of us, and why not raise their wages? It is a little remarkable but it is a fact that Mr. Surrey Jones, a young man of this city, while out walking Sunday afternoon accidentally fell over a pine stump which resulted in almost sudden death. He was taken to the hospital, where he remained a few days, and died last Saturday night. He leaves a mother, father and many relatives.

There has been quite an awakening among the Nansemend farmers, to the canning of tomatoes, potatoes, berries, peas, corn and about everything raised on a first-class farm. Mrs. G. A. Troy, the Supervising Industrial teacher, has made it possible for every woman, boy and girl to learn how to can certain products of the farm. And many are expecting to take advantage of this opportunity. There are other advantages taken by the farmers during these days of high cost of living. CONCERTS. The Suffolk Normal Training School will give two concerts at the Samaritan Hall next Monday and Tuesday nights. Usually most everybody in and about the city, and many from the county, attend these annual concerts. If you are not there by 7:30 you may not be sure of a seat. The students have been well prepared. You are welcome if you keep right quiet. Baltimore, Md.—I desire to express my thanks to Mrs. M. J. Rivers, of New Bern, N. C., for the card which she sent me expressing interest in the things which I have written to the paper from time to time, declaring that she was deeply interested in the amount of riding I am doing and what I am saying to the people. It is indeed kind in her to do this. It is true, that all people like to have people say a kind word, and if they are really doing anything they like to have you tell them about it, and when they do the next thing like to make it just a little better, and a little better each time. I am feeling like I want to write my hands off this week, but then that would not do. I have written to the lady and she has my letter ere this. I have had the pleasure of meeting a few people since I have been in this part of the country and just last week I went to Philadelphia, Chester, Pa., Washington, D. C., and now I am in Baltimore, but will not be here when you read this letter, but perhaps will be in Portsmouth, or on my way to the extreme south again, for I am going to Jacksonville, Fla., and a letter will reach me there if sent care Prof. N. W. Collier, Florida Baptist College. I had the pleasure of meeting Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., of Philadelphia, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, and perhaps one of the greatest secretaries in the country. He has just returned from West Africa where he has been to inspect the work being done by his church and people. He is a master in the church work. It took a brave heart, and a man who could trust in God to cross the Atlantic at this time. Dr. Jordan made the trip and has returned home and I tell you the people of Philadelphia turned out and gave him some reception. While in Philadelphia, I had the pleasure of visiting the Zion Baptist Church, Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D., pastor and he is some pastor. The people are just crowing into that town. They are just doing things up in great shape. He is a preacher, a pastor and one busy man. I met Dr. W. F. Graham, Dr. A. R. Robinson, and so many others whose names I do not remember just now. These were all Baptist preachers. Back to Chester, where I met Miss D. V. Kilson, a dressmaker and worker in the A. M. E. Church. I mention her because she wrote a letter for me, and put on some buttons where they were needed. She took delight in doing these things for me. I have told you about Dr. J. R. Bennett and his wife, and his people. I made a trip from there to Bordentown, N. J., where is located the Bordentown industrial school. This is a state school for our people, and at the head is Prof. Valentine. I am sure that they must keep a close watch on him February 14. He is doing a great work down at this place. While their students do not take to them by the thousands, yet he must be watched or some one will send him through the mail. This is indeed a fine plant, and one of the finest in the country. The students are not up in the thousands. Just about two hundred of them. It was a source of pleasure to find the widow of the late X. H. Plus there. She is matron and teacher. She is working hard, dealing with our girls. I did not get the names of all the teachers, but it will come to me another time. If I get them I will let you know. This is a state school and they are making good of their opportunities. From Bordentown into the reception, and then I got myself and left the next morning for Washington, D. C., where I found many people waiting to get to see, and of course I looked at them, but did not have anything to say. I don't know what they thought, but I do know what I thought. I have had the pleasure of meeting the new pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church in Washington, Rev. C. M. Tanner, and the new pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Baltimore, Md. Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, D. D., who is one preacher directly from the place where they manufacture preachers. I was delighted to see this wonderful man. Of course he belongs to our race, and there can be no doubt. Dr. Brooks comes from Wichita, Kansas. He is one of the greatest church-building men I have ever met, and then he knows how to raise money, and at the same time he knows how to preach. There is some debt on Bethel A. M. E. Church, and he is going to let them know that there is a man there. He is going to so reduce that debt in the next three years, that the general conference will see the necessity of such a man. But that is a long distance from here, and I shall say something about it later. Leaving Virginia next week, I am going right on to Florida, and you will find me in a short time way down in Texas. CARD OF THANKS. With heart deeply bowed in sorrow, I wish to thank the many friends, who helped me through the illness and death of my dear husband, Clarence Moore. Each act of kindness will ever be remembered and the words of con- solation are a balm in my sad bereavement. I also wish to thank the friends for the beautiful floral designs. His wife, MAGGIE MOORE. Whooping Cough. One of the most successful preparations in use for this disease is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. S. W.

A 5 Big Acts - Refined Vaudeville Monday night was the biggest night in the existence of the Palace Theatre in this city. Every available seat was taken and crowds turned away that wanted to have the honor of gracing this spic and span most beautiful, well fitted and commodious theatre in this country for the exclusive accommodation of colored people, on the event of its opening for refined vaudeville. The theatre was built here several years ago by a corporation which saw the need of a high class amusement center for colored people. Up until the present time it was conducted as a picture house, affording colored theatre-goers an opportunity to see the very best pictures produced at a minimum price. It was the intention of the owners to make provision in the house as soon as there was sufficient dem and for the presentation of the better grade of performances now being staged by colored artists—both vaudeville and drama. The opening of the Palace as a play house not only affords the colored people of Norfolk an opportunity of seeing the best performances staged by members of their own race but also affords such talent as the race has an opportunity for development. The tremendous crowds that have thronged the theatre the whole of the week to witness the most excellent performance that has been staged there is an attestation of the people's appreciation of this great innovation for them. Norfolk has been the scene of many and various kinds of vaudeville houses for colored people. None of them, however, have measured up to the standard of the luxurious $60,000.00 Palace. $3.00 Sport Hats..... $1.00 5.00 Dress Hats..... 1.98 6.50 Dress Hats..... 2.98 7.50 Dress Hats..... 3.98 2.50 Shapes in Milan and Panamas, all colors..... .98 4.00 Panamas, Milan, Hemp, assort- ed styles..... 1.98 CORSETS 1.50 Corsets..... .79 2.00 Corsets..... 1.19 3.00 Corsets..... 1.39 Programme for Week Pleased. When pretty Carrie Stith, handsomely costumed, appeared before the footlights on Monday night there was tremendous applause. Miss Stith, with her various renditions fairly charmed the audience with her magnetic personality and sweet tone of voice. In their production of song and comedy Gales and Gales filled the house with laughter while Henry Jines in his inimitable way kept the house in an uproar of applause. The Nichols Sisters performed well in "Rose in the Bud" an excellent musical comedy which scored quite a hit. From the beginning until the close of their act, Allon and Motten, character artists, kept the crowds screaming. Upon a whole the acts were well balanced and staged which reflected much credit upon the producers. The best of order prevailed at all of the performances and there has so far been no occurrence at the theatre to mar the feelings of anyone. "Lion and the Mouse" Scores Hit at Colonial Before a tremendous audience at the Colonial Theatre Monday night of this week the local cast of colored artists who staged "The Lion and The Mouse" Chas. Klein's play, benefit of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, scored a success. It is needless to say every one who attended the play, white and colored, were heartily pleased with its presentation. The little awwwardness of some members of the cast and the tone of delivery by some of the voices could well be overlooked. On a whole the cast was well balanced and the feature well presented. Miss Eliza Coppage as Shirley Rossmore from her first appearance upon the stage until the last, held the heart interest of her audience. Truly great was she in the interpretation of the role she played. As a dramatist she proved herself to be an equal of some of the best talent in the country. Mr. J. C. Stith, as John Burkett Rider fitted well into that niche as did Mrs. J. Eugene Diggs as Mrs. John Burkett Rider. Prof. Harvey Robinson, as Judge Rossmore, Mr. Thomas Winborn as Senator Roberts, Mr. Ralph Jones as Hon. Fitzroy Bagley and Miss Mayme Diggs as Eudoxia, the maid, were certainly interesting characters, interpreting their parts to perfection. It was the opinion of all who saw the play when it was presented at the Booker T. Washington School auditorium a few weeks ago that the feature was presented in much better style than before. It is the consensus of opinion that the production could not have been better presented by amateurs. Mr. J. C. Stith, the director, deserves much credit for the capable manner in which the production was staged. Although the bill at the Palace Theatre was a big attraction this week it will have nothing on the one to be presented next week. Some of the strongest and most interesting entertainers on the Dudley Circuit are booked in the person of Taylor and Lowe, sisters; Bradford and Jeanette, man and woman, Hattie Sames, Dick and Green, two men and Original Snowballs. This cast will make up five big refined vaudeville acts that will furnish enough amusement on one night to last any person a rull week. The vaudeville the Palace is furnishing is clean cut, entertaining and instructive, presented by capable and intelligent artists, members of our own race, who have won national fame for their cleverness and proficiency.
