INCREASE AMONG COLORED AMERICANS; NEWLY FORMED ALLIANCE BEGINS IMPORTANT WORK Material Increase of Thrift Noted In Report To American Bankers Association Many Industrial Changes Apparent In South Since Beginning Of The Exodus Atlantic City, N. J.—"The time is really approaching, if not actually at all, when the Negro, ever friendly never militant toward his friends, says faithful and never traitorous and the Government, be it Democratic or Republican, will be valued at true worth, not only by the South, by the North, not only by the East, by the West," asserts John Mitch-Jr., chairman of the special thrift committee for work among colored people in his report to the savings bank section of the bankers' convenience. According to the United Statesensus reports for 1910, there were 27,763 Negroes in this country, of 1,912,431 reside in the northern western states, the others in the pointing that the exodus northward and wostward assumed huge problems," the report says, "it is safe that the difference will not exced 100,000. The bulk of the population will remain where it is. Farceing southerns are already diplomatically making changes industrially and commercially in the southland, both as to wages and living conditions, in order to check this immigration. "They have been calling into consultation some of the ablest colored leaders in the section of the country with the view of finding a remedy to ease cessation of the unrest. The value of the property of the colored people in this country has been estimated to be $700,000,000. Add to it all deposit in the banks of the country and it will be found to be much more than that. The value of the farm products, such as corn, wheat, outes, oats, rice, hay, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cotton, cottonseed, etc., will total 100,000,000 per annum. If the present acreage owned by the colored people were divided up, would give each man, woman and two and one half acres. It means that the wisdom of excluding the blessing of this thrift movement directly to the colored people is apparent. Meetings have been held and an interest awakened, to the end that milieu of dollars are being saved through the savings department of banking institutions, and through the medium of savings clubs. Southern white people have for many years encouraged the saving habit among the colored people in their respective localities. They have sold them homesteads on long-time payments and extended the time for settlement when the pressure on home expenses came too great. They have also encouraged the education of the colored children in progressive communities, realizing that one thing, not even the family tie, bridles a colored man so much as the living habit. The wealth of the colored people in the southland. How to take him a more thrifty citizen—how to reach the demands of the thousands thriftless 'ne'er do wells, is the great problem."

M. C. A. Mass Meeting That the Negroes' part in this war is to lead the world in the ways of truth and righteousness, and that the race should emphasize the lessons of loyalty and patriotism, leaving the adjustment of wrongs inflicted to the future, was the closing declaration of Dr. Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University, Sunday afternoon in one of the most remarkable address ever heard in Norfolk. "Loyalty" was Dr. Miller's theme, and he emphasized that this should embrace race group as well as country. He pointed out that in spite of outrages that had been committed against members of the race in different parts of the country recently, the race should not over emphasize these grievances at present lost the chances of the nation for winning the war be jeopardized. Dean Miller, who is one of the most profound logician's in the country, was at his host—in fact many who heard him said that he surpassed himself, and his address was frequently applauded. At one time the applause was so prolonged that the speaker could not proceed for fully three minutes. Dean Miller was here under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The meeting was held in the auditorium of Booker T. Washington High School, which could not seat all those who turned out to hear the distinguished educator. A representative audience of about 700 men and women were on hand, all of whom left the place of meeting with the conviction that the last word on the Negro's relation to the present crisis had been said. Prof. D. G. Jacox presided and proved himself equal to the high occasion. Miss Daisy Sykes rendered a beautiful solo. Prof. Miller was introduced by Prof Eugene Southall, principal of the Abraham Lincoln School. A contribution of $44.97 was taken for the Young Men's Christian Association. The following amounts of 50 cents and over were received: John Chadwick, N. S. Dough, J. Watts Rhodes, 50 cents each; Pleasant Harvest, Joseph S. Hurkey, M. R. Jackson, Marion Robertson, H. J. D. $1.00 each; W. G. James, $1.50; Jasper Duncan, David N. King $2.00 each. The Board of Directors will hold a special meeting Sunday 1:30 o'clock to close the Quiet Hunt Campaign and to begin the canvass for funds to remodel the ground floor for Association work. The meeting for men will be held FORMING NEW ARMY DIVISION Will Consist Of Colored Regiments Of The Selective Draft Army OFFICERS READY FOR DUTY Commissions Will Be Awarded Soon To Graduates Of Fort Des Moines Camp (By R. W. Thompson.) Washington, D. C.—According to news given out today at the War Department, provision is being made for the forming of an additional National Army Division to be composed of colored troops. Details are lacking at present, but it is understood generally that colored men selected for service will be sent to camps in their own states where such exist and in other cases to the nearest encampment in other states. They are to be brigaded and maintained in separate organizations. In anticipation of the graduating exercises of the colored candidates at the officers' reserve-camp at Fort Des Moines, army officers are leaving for that fateful town, laden with commissions to be presented to those who are considered to have earned them by their four months course of instruction. Emmett J. Scott, the newly-appointed advisor to the Secretary of War, will be on the ground as representative of the War Department, and it is expected that he will bear the personal greetings of Secretary Baker o the budding officers. In the circumstances, an address at this time by Mr. Scott will be regarded as an utterance of the highest significance, by reason of his commission as the spokesman of 10,000,000 colored citizens of the Republic. It is stated that the new officers will be assigned to Negro units in the Regulars, National Guard and National Army as needed, and the probability is expressed that that none will hold higher rank for the present than company commander. The colored quota of the District of Columbia, numbering about 50 percent. of the total of the 1,022 drafted, is to be sent to Camp Mende in the very near future. The camp is located at Admiral, Md., not far from Washington. Colored recruits from Maryland and Pennsylvania will also be concentrated at this cantonment. The town in all will house about 40,000 soldiers, and Camp Mende or Admiral, will become the second city in population in the historic State of Maryland. The first Separate Battalion, District National Guard, is still in this vicinity. A portion of the battalion is guarding the government property, bridges, reservoirs, etc., in and about Washington, and another section doing duty at Harper's Ferry. Orders are expected at any moment assigning them to their regular station under the War Department's program for the distribution of colored troops. FEATURES OF THE SOUTHAMPTON FAIR Capron, Va.—All arrangements have been completed for the second annual Southampton county agricultural fair, to be held here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, October 17-18-19. On the opening day there will be addresses by Mr. L. B. Bain, Commonwealth' attorney R. E. L. Watkins and others an exhibition of horse trotting by several prominent farmers. Thursday will be featured by a parade of Odd Fellows followed by a speaking program including J. Thomas Newsome, Prof. A. D. Wright and others. Friday will be Farmers' day and the principal address will be made by State Demonstrator J. B. Pierce. The exhibits are expected to surpass those of last year. Editor C. N. Hunter of Raleigh in City. Prof. C. N. Hunter of Raleigh, N. C., editor of the Raleigh Independent spent several days in the city. He made a pleasant visit to the office of Fifty-Third Annual Session Of Baptist Body Representing Sixty-seven Churches. GAVE $1,400 TO EDUCATION Journal and Guide Discovers Colored Farmer Reputed To Be Worth $90.000 Greenville, N. C.—The Old Eastern Baptist Association held its 53rd session at Farmville, N. C., last week. It is said that this was the best session ever held. They raised the largest amount of money in the history of the Association. There are sixty-seven churches of which number sixty represented. The remaining seven will represent by letter later. More than $1,400 was raised at this meeting. Rev. Wm. Wiggins, the moderator, made all visitors feel welcome and invited them to take part in the meeting with the exception of voting. Hon. W. G. Shepard the Mayor delivered the welcome address in behalf of the city. He assured the Association members and visitors that they were welcome and said "we are glad to have you with us. We feel that your coming will help us. We need good people among us. We need people who will think for themselves. The time has come for you to discover yourself. Know that you have a head to think for yourself, know that you have feet and hands and find out what they were given to you for. The world today is calling for thinking men, men who will rely upon themselves and not depend upon somebody else. We have among our race and you have among your race men who have committed shameful crimes, we the good people, are not responsible for it, I do not encourage it. I am glad to hear of the colored troops being stationed. Today there is such thing as a North and a South. But America with me. My last thought I leave with you is 'think for yourself.' Rev. G. W. Watkins of Charlotte, N. C., the state missionary and Editor of the Union Reformer was present and spoke in interest of the state work and urged every minister to attend the state convention to be held in Durham, November 14th. The women held their Auxiliary Missionary meeting in joint session with the Association at the A. M. E. Zion church. Mrs. Theanna Johnson is the president, Mrs. Blount, secretary, both of New Bern. They had a splendid session and raised nearly $200.00 at this meeting that was turned over to the Tar River Institute at Greenville. Prof. G. T. Hill principal of the school made his report and assured the trustees that the future outlook of the school in every way was promising. This year a chapel has been erected and a new building for boys is now on hand. $1,400 was turned over to the school. At this meeting a plan was voted on to raise $1,000 by January 1st for the new building. The next session will be held at Beaufort, N. C., with Rev. N. F. Brook's church. Farmville A Live Town The hospitality of the people of Farmville cannot be forgotten by those who visited there. This is said to be the fastest growing town in the state. No town has made more notable progress. It has ten daily trains. The Norfolk and Southern railroad crosses on one side and the East Carolina on the other. It is a great Tobacco town and has a splendid cotton market. Farmville is surrounded by some of the best farming town in the state. I dare say more colored people own cars here than any small town in the state. It has all of its streets well paved and most of the people own their homes. I have made several visits there and each time I meet many new friends. About five years ago Farmville excelled all other towns in the subscription list, for one week and today it is again on record as having excelled all towns of my seven year's work with the Journal and Guide. You will notice A. Colored Farmer Worth $90,0000 A few words about a man who cannot write his own name yet is said to own more land than any colored man in Eastern Carolina. Mr. Benjamin Milloughby is a man 69 years old but could easily pass for 50 years. When I met him I said you look well for your age but maybe you have never worked very hard. His reply was "there is not a man in the state that has worked harder than I have. It is understood I have cleared more land than any man in the state. Most of my land that I now have in cultivation was cleared by me I began to clear land 40 years ago." Some of his land that he paid $5.00 per acre is now valued at $125.00. Most of his land is now being cultivated by his seven sons who have families and houses built on various parts of the plantation with other tenants as well. Mr. Willoughby has 1000 acres of the best farming land in Pitt County. He started with an ox but today 1000 acres of the best farm land is owned by him, rides in a fine $2,000 auto and owns more land than any colored man in the Eastern part of the state. Has a 21 horse farm, most of the land timber-land valued at. $5.00 per acre when he bought it now it is worth $125.00 per acre. Last year he paid $125.00 per acre for some land adjoining his. Mr. Willighby is now reported to be worth about $90,000, and considered one of the wealthiest colored farmers in the state. He is without any book education but he has a very intelligent appearance and a plenty of good common sense. Mr. Willoughby says he is now watching his boys improve what he has placed in their hands and enjoying life with his wife and ten children around him. We have met several other men in this part of the state who are-making ood but a man who started right after the war without any education or help needs to be congratulated, upon having accumulated $90,000 and raised 12 children, giving them all some education. WILL GIVE DRAFTED MEN HEARTY SEND OFF Norfolk's Colored Quota Will Be Tendered Banquet and Provided With Comfort Bags Arrangements are being made to give the colored quota of Norfolk men selected for the National Army a farewell testimonial upon the eve of their departure for training camp, which is expected to occur soon. Although it is not known at the offices of the Norfolk Exemption Boards just when the men will be called, they have been notified to hold themselves in readiness and it is probable that the call will be made in the near future. Following the suggestion of the Journal and Guide that the drafted men be given a send-off, Col. James Mann, one of Norfolk's most prominent white citizens offered to bear the expense of a banquet for the men and also to provide each man with a testament. The Red Cross Colored Auxiliary with the aid of local citizens are going to supplement the banquet by ginig the men "Comfort Bags," provided with many useful articles that a soldier will need in camp. It is expected that the affair will be held in the City Armory building and that Mayor Mayo and other prominent citizens will make addresses on the occasion. E. J. SCOTT RECEIVES IMPORTANT:ASSIGNMENT Emmett J. Scott, Executive Secretary of Tuskegee Institute has been named as special assistant to Secretary of War Baker. Mr. Scott's duties will be chiefly to advise the War department regarding the interests of the Negro soldiers and the 10,000,000 American Negroes during the war. He was for eighteen years confidential secretary to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. In Memoriam. In loving remembrance of my dear husband, Albert Henderson, who departed this life October 9th 1916. Gone but not forgotten. Ambitious Plan of Negro American Alliance Recently Chartered DEFINE OBJECT AND AIMS To Break The System Of Repression Exercised Against American Negroes" Atlantic City, N. J.—After many months of careful planning the Negro American Alliance has begun its great campaign to organize every man, woman and child of Negro birth in the United Sattes into one great federation. The alliance was founded and is being pushed to success by men of broad vision and rare ability who have the time to devote to the work. The president is James A. Lightfoot, a practicing attorney of Atlantic City, a member of the New Jersey Bar. NON-PARTISAN AND NON-SECTARIAN The alliance has no political affiliations and no political intentions. It will never ally itself with any of the great political parties. To do so would seriously hamper its work. It is non-sectarian. All denominations are urged to give their support as the Alliance has no creed save the broad creed of equal opportunity for the Negro with other races and nationalities. In order that responsibility might rest somewhere and give the Alliance legal standing and protection it is incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey and is a chartered institution of that state. ITS REAL OBJECT The real object of the Alliance is to break the system of repression exercised against Negroes in this country. Negroes have got to do this themselves. No member of the Caucasian race will never do this for them. The Alliance will advertise the Negro to the country and the world in his true light and not as his detractors picture him to be. It intends to send a force of young Negroes abroad when the war is over to grow up with the new nations and thus create sentiment in the Negro's favor with other nations. ONE MILLION MEMBERS BY FEBRUARY. The great drive for members has begun. The Alliance plans to have a million members enrolled by February 1st, 1918. WILL INCREASE CIRCULATION OF NEGRO PAPERS. The Alliance will endeavor to have every family in the country subscribe for at least two Negro newspapers. It believes that the Negro newspaper will be the greatest factors in breaking the system of repression exercised against Negroes in this country and every Negro will be urged to subscribe for at least two. BIG RACE ATTRACTION IN NORFOLK NEXT WEEK The best race horses in Virginia are expected to compete in the races to be held at Mariner's Track Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week under the auspices of the Norfolk Jockey Club. $300.00 in Purses await the winners, and the entries already booked indicate that the contest will be spirited, affording an exhibition of horse racing each day rarely seen in this section. All indications point to a larger attendance this year than last. The races will begin each day at 2 o'clock. The same horses that compete in the races here next week will appear in the races at the Suffolk Fair the following week. Many women attribute ailments and suffering to some disease peculiar to their sex, when often the pain and misery is caused by weak or deranged kidneys.

MENACE TO PEACE AND MORALS sub-committee of the Council of National Affairs is sending out a very pointed and timely calling attention to that phase of the social which the soldiers at the training camps are exposed—the lanes of vice and prostitution for community," says the letter we have rewritten its opening paragraph, "is near enough to be big training camps to feel the effects, broad, which always result from the congestion of a large body of men with a considerable unoccupied time on their hands." It goes on to call attention to the duty of community to provide suitable recreation settlement facilities for the men in its midst that they may not drift into the "Red Light" district and come away "not only diseased to the men, but equipped to carry disease to their women." Norfolk has to some extent removed the matter "Red Light" evil by abolishing the legal fact known by that name. But the city has purged itself entirely of the denizens of either "Red Light" district, for many of them eating and carrying on a thriving business sections of the city over which police once seems either loose or inadequate to control. This situation presents in Norfolk a man only to morals but to the peace of the community. This is especially true since the places needed of exist in sections inhabited by cattle and are frequented largely by the enforced duty and in training in this vicinity. To be specific any one who takes the trouble to so may walk through Fox Lane, Nicholm and Smith streets and their adjacent alleyways any night and count sailors by the hundreds. Little clashes between and colored civilians frequently occur and the order is that there has not been trouble of its nature. Some one in authority is responsible for this man of affairs, a condition that menaces the morals of the civilians of the community as the enlisted men here. We do not know whether the matter has been brought to the attention of the mayor or of police. We have no doubt that if any would do the thing that is necessary to the evil. The down-town section was reared of prostitutes and places of ill reputed Law and Order League brought condition of attention of the authorities. The Journals will be glad to furnish the mayor or the police with information in its possession regarding the existence and operation of "Red Lines" in the section of the city referred to. Now is a good time for Norfolk to have a clean-up. The social evil not only menace and morals of the community, but language of the Council of National Defenses now a menace to the efficiency of cities." A sub-committee of the Council of National Defense is sending out a very pointed and timely letter calling attention to that phase of the social evil to which the soldiers at the training camps are most exposed—the lanes of vice and prostitution. "Your community," says the letter we have received in its opening paragraph, "is near enough to one of the big training camps to feel the effects, good and bad, which always result from the congregation of a large body of men with a considerable amount of unoccupied time on their hands." And then it goes on to call attention to the duty of each community to provide suitable recreation and amusement facilities for the men in its midst in order that they may not drift into the "Red Light" district and come away "not only diseased themselves, but equipped to carry disease to their camp mates." Norfolk has to some extent removed the menace of the "Red Light" evil by abolishing the legalized district known by that name. But the city has not yet purged itself entirely of the denizens of the former "Red Light" district, for many of them are operating and carrying on a thriving business in other sections of the city over which police surveillance seems either loose or inadequate to combat. This situation presents in Norfolk a menace not only to morals but to the peace of the community. This is especially true since the places complained of exist in sections inhabited by colored people and are frequented largely by the enlisted men on duty and in training in this vicinity. To be specific any one who takes the trouble to do so may walk through Fox Lane, Nicholson, Grant and Smith streets and their adjacent lanes and alleyways any night and count sailors and soldiers by the hundreds. Little clashes between them and colored civilians frequently occur and the wonder is that there has not been trouble of a serious nature. Some one in authority is responsible for this condition of affairs, a condition that menaces the peace and morals of the civilians of the community as well as the enlisted men here. We do not know whether the police is responsible, or whether it is the mayor, the board of control or the council. We do know that a deplorable condition exists and that it is a reflection upon the city government of Norfolk. We do not know whether the matter has ever been brought to the attention of the mayor or the chief of police. We have no doubt that if it was they would do the thing that is necessary to remedy the evil. The down-town section was recently cleared of prostitutes and places of ill repute when the Law and Order League brought conditions to the attention of the authorities. The Journal and Guide will be glad to furnish the mayor or the chief of police with information in its possession regarding the existence and operation of "Red Light" evils in the section of the city referred to. Now is a good time for Norfolk to have a thorough clean-up. The social evil not only menaces the peace and morals of the community, but in the language of the Council of National Defense "becomes now a menace to the efficiency of our armies." SKEPTICAL OF LABOR UNIONS commenting upon a recent editorial in the land Guide in which reference was made to ant activities of the American Federation among colored people the New York Age among movement that promises to bring a are deal for Negro labor in the South, on both for that matter, is to be welcomed. It well for those concerned, however, to be in their dealings with the leaders of labor, and test well the good faith of an Commenting upon a recent editorial in the Journal and Guide in which reference was made to the recent activities of the American Federation of Labor among colored people the New York Age says: "Any movement that promises to bring about a square deal for Negro labor in the South, or at the North for that matter, is to be welcomed. It would be well for those concerned, however, to be cautious in their dealings with the leaders of organized labor, and test well the good faith of any overtures made before surrendering any advantage already gained." The Age mentions several instances, including the Rocky Mount affair, in which Negro unionists were unfairly dealt with by white unionists. There is really nothing in the situation at Rocky Mount to encourage Negro workmen to have anything to do with the American Federation of Labor. We understand that when Negro union machinists' helpers walked out for higher wages white union men were put in their places because, there was a growing sentiment on the part of the union against Negroes holding these places. We do not comprehend the ethics of a labor union that would permit one member to take such an unfair advantage of another, and agree with the Age that Negroes should exercise care and discretion in identifying themselves with any branch of the American Federation of Labor.

The observance is to take the form of a regular service or patriotic exercises in the churches. The people are expected to consider the recommendations and advice of the Food Administration with reference to the saving of the food supplies of the nation, which is a very important economic as well a patriotic duty at the present time. The feeding of America's vast army as well as the additional supplies needed for our allies will tax to the utmost the sources of food production in this country, and unless strict economy is practiced in every family before harvest comes around there will be an acute food scarcity in this country such as prevails a the present time in England, France and Italy. Such a situation, of course, would mean great hardship and suffering to untold numbers in this country, all of which may be avoided by the practice of economy and the following diligently of the simple rules laid down by the Food Administration. Americans are not asked to deny themselves foods necessary to the sustenance of health and vigor. Mr. Hoover, Food Administrator, asks that all loyal Americans "eat plenty; but wisely and without waste." THE BOGY-MAN screet parents used to tell crying babies and children that the "bogy-man" work.

Indiscreet parents used to tell crying babies and unruly children that the "bogy-man" would get them. One was reminded of this ancient practice last week when there were current open threats of turning the adjustment of the tobacco stemmers,' oyster shuckers' and domestics strike over to the police. The strikers were told that if they did not return to work they and their leaders would be arrested as "slackers," and other such silly bunk. The bogy-man appeared last Saturday morning with a loud "Boo!" after which for reasons that it is not necessary to state he was carefully put away out of sight where he belongs and where we hope he will remain indefinitely.

HEALTH TALKS Preventive And Renewed Measures For The Conservation of Health BY DR. J. W. PIERCE Her creates a desire for food which meets a need of the body. It is the primary necessity results. Hygienic factors would not serve as of the body, should the latter fail to getata of food to nourish the tissues of the body, generates energy, enhances vitality and strength. As such, it may be regarded as fur- furnace. As it is impossible for an engine without fuel, so it is quite impossible for the aim to perform its work without the fuel. --- Hunger creates a desire for food which meets a physical demand of the body. It is the primary necessity for life and its results. Hygienic factors would not serve the best interests of the body, should the latter fail to get its normal quota of food to nourish the tissues of the body. Food gives life, generates energy, enhances vitality and maintains strength. As such, it may be regarded as fuel for the human furnace. As it is impossible for an engine to run or work without fuel, so it is quite impossible for the human mechanism to perform its work without the fuel in keeping with its needs and demands. Food, then, is an absolute necessity; the basic health prop; the mainstay to growth, development and maintenance. But food is to be regulated to suit the individual requirement and condition of the individual body. To balance the ration for each individual is the scientific slogan of today. Men have striven to work out a system that may be regarded as a standard for the minimum amount of food that may be required to obtain the necessary units of energy for the average person in keeping with normal health. In some instances, the results have been very encouraging and are being met with a creditable degree of approval. But the system has not reached the point where it can be reduced to practical utility. The uninitiated can not put themselves into position to appreciate the significance of the system, that's why there is not a general adoption of the plan. Food to the average person is the goodly number of catables set before them at a time when hunger sharpens the appetite, and of which they eat more or less. So often more. What they see on the table is food to them, but it is not the real food to the tissues. The real food is the end product of digestion which becomes absorbable; that which is taken up by the circulation of the blood and distributed to the several systems of the body and to every structure. That which is not capable of being absorbed cannot be, truly, food. Because of this fact it is very necessary that foods containing the required amount of the absorbable elements should be provided daily in keeping with the needs as far as possible. The relation of food to health needs no discussion, for it is too evident for argument. Yet there are certain rules that should be regarded as applied to food for the maintenance of health. In the first place, food should be taken regularly. As the tissues use up the energy, it needs to be replenished before too great a drawing is made, upon the reserved amount kept for special reasons. The food taken should cover as near as possible all the primary food elements that enter into the tissue structure—that is, proteids, carbohydrates, fats, inorganic salts and mineral substances A constant use of a single elementary food at the exclusion of all others, does not serve the requirements of the tissues. Again the quantity to be taken at regular intervals should be just sufficient to keep up normal appearances and strength. Over crowding the intestinal tract interferes with digestive function thereby curtailing the process of absorption. Brief rest after the ingestion of food is also necessary, giving the digestive organ a chance to start its work without too much embarrassment. By observing these little simple rules, food will enhance in value as related to health and its conservation. RED CROSS ACTIVITIES Mr. R. B. Tunstall, secretary of the Red Cross Society, will address a mass meeting in the interest of the society at the Bank Street Baptist Church Sunday afternoon 3:00 o'clock. The speaker is one of the most prominent attorneys of Norfolk, a very busy man whose expressions upon any subject is well worth hearing. It is hoped that a large crowd will hear this address. Preparation for a grand Red Cross parade which will be held on the 19th instant is now in full swing. The Emancipation Association will have full charge of the colored participants and will appoint committees, leaders, and divisional superintendents to look after all the details. All fraternity organizations, labor unions, social clubs, schools and other representative groups are cordially invited to take part. All who expect to take part may notify the special committee consisting of Prof. D. G. Jacox, Messrs. G. W. Giddings, Dennis Ackiss, and Mrs. Esther A. White. The city wide campaign by the Red Cross Society for a large membership will follow the parade and will continue for a period of several days during which time an effort will be made to have every substantial white and colored citizen of Norfolk to enlist his name and pay the joining fee of $1.00 universally charged the world over for membership. Wears Southern Aid Medal. Mr. J. H. Hamlin, the oldest insurance man in the city, who is in the employment of the Southern Aid Society is known by the appropriate sobriquet: "The Old man Active," and well does he live up to his assumed application for he is the medal man around the local Southern Aid office. Mr. Hamlin won his trophy for the highest percentage on collections, during the past month, above all other Southern Aid agents doing business here. His clean and honorable record in the office and on the field here served to make visible every letter in the word S-u-c-c-e-s-s so far as he is concerned; for in fact he is indeed an ideal insurance man, possessing the cardinal essentials for the work, viz: ability, character, personality, honesty and perseverance.

If the fire bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help put out the fire? It is much the same way with a cough. A cough is a danger signal as much as a fire bell. You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a fire bell when it is ringing, but should cure the disease that causes the coughing. This can nearly always be done by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many have used it with the most beneficial results. It is especially valuable for the persistent cough that so often follows a bad cold r an attack o the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes: "During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best medicine for breaking up these attacks and you cannot get him to take any other."

For Convalescent Babies Under Two Years Old Open All the Year Around-Founded by First General Secretary of Charity Organization Society of New York. New York.-If your daddy had gone away to war to fight for his country, and you were something under two years old, and mother wasn't sure where the next mug of bread and milk was coming from, and like as not mother wasn't even there to worry about it at all, wouldn't you think it was pretty hard lines for a young soldier just starting out in the battle of life? You would. And, while you might not frame it up in just those words, you would open your mouth and your lungs and let the whole crowded, hot, smell filled tenement which constituted your world know about how miserable you were, even if you were a soldier's baby and supposed to be brave. That is just why, out over the Hudson and away beyond the beautiful, broad sweep of the Englewood Country club golf links on the western slope of the Palisades, the Memorial Home of the Edgewater Crache is today endearing to open its hospitable doors to take in and care for the little children and babies of soldiers, sailors and of women who could thus be released for X CHILDREN AT EDGEWATER CHECKIE. war work, in addition to the usual groups of poor mothers and little ones sent there by social workers. Any one who missed along Edgewater, N. J., the town that nestles under the Palisades opposite One Hundred and Thirtieth street, four or five years back remembers that creche, because it stood on the river road there for many years after its foundation by Charles D. Kellogg, first general secretary of the Charity Organization society of New York city, who first established it beside the site of the statue of Liberty and called it Barrinhold Creche. There it had averaged 6,000 to 10,000 visits of mothers with children in a summer. In the fifteen years or more it stood at Edgewater the creche averaged 12,000 visits a summer from mothers and children from the crowded tenement districts of New York. Removed now to a beautifully rolling and well wooded site of six and a quarter acres, at Broad and Van Nostrand avenues, on the outskirts of Englewood, the erecce occupies the unique position of being the only home for convalecent babies under two years old in and about New York city that is open the year round. And in its effort to do its bit by giving preference to the babies of soldiers the erecce does not stop at American babies, but cares for the babies of allied fighters as well, at least four nations being represented among the twenty babies now there — America, France, Russia and Italy. Adopt a Baby Wolf. Rochester, N. X.—The Proper brothers, who live on a farm six miles west of Naples, in Ontario county, found a baby gray wolf in a hollow log in a piece of woods on their farm. They took the little creature, whose eyes were not yet open, to the house and are making an effect to raise it on a bottle. A search is being made for the rest of the wolf family. Raleigh, N. C.—A charitable mortgage has been recorded in the office of the register of deeds of Durham county, N. C., in which a $50 loan was made and an artificial leg taken as security. The leg was valued at $100, and R. O. Everett, a Durham lawyer, declares it his intention of reconveying the property to himself unless the mortgagor redeemes the claim. The loan was obtained to purchase the cork leg, and the debt is to be paid within fifty-two weeks. GRAND LODGE OF ST. JOHN WATCHMEN C. A.

School, gave a splendid address to the conference, appealing to the parents to give their best to God, as he wants our best, making this illustration; that the people of today do not give their children, especially boys to God. If they give at all, the finest looking and most healthy boy is to be a lawyer or doctor but the delicate nervous, and physically weak boy, would be given to God. He then asked the ministers and parents to talk to the boys about going into the ministry, and keep this question ever before them, and train them for service.

It promptly checked their coughing and cured their colds quicker than anything I ever used." For sale by all Druggists. First Baptist Church services last Sunday were aglow with great spiritual enthusiasm. The Sunday school was very largely attended and the lesson was taught with much interest. Our Superintendent, Mr. Willie Johnson, and his teachers deserve great credit for maintaining such a fine school. At 11:30 a. m., the pastor, Rev. J. R. Custis, preached a very instructive and effective sermon from Hosea 14:4, 5. "God's tender relation to the church, as the God of the dew." The lessons taught were practical. Much stress was laid upon the facts that God's grace in the Christian's life makes him grow in righteousness, purity, steadfastness and influence. Two candidates were baptized at the morning service. At 3:30 p. m., a large audience assembled to hear the pastor preach what perhaps was one of the best sermons of his pastorate. The text was taken from Ephesians 1:18-22. The sermon was marked for profound thought, spiritual power and eloquent delivery. The pastor emphasized the necessity of the Christian having a clear conception of the hope of his calling, the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, the transcendent effect of the mighty power of God in his life, an dthe supremacy of cesus Christ over all things. The spiritual fervor felt was pentecostal in its effect. The holy communion was celebrated and it was voted to have been the best service in the history of the church. Offering $40.00.
