he believes and what he knows. In
doing this, he is ultra conservative
and “gets no-where.” SUI, we ad-
mire his judgment in doing this. We
are frank to say that we do not
share in his optimistic views relative
to New Russia and its new leaders.
He makes statement as follows

person in this country can agree.

THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS
The American Negro faces a most peculiar and critical situation in this country; a situation which calls for a careful and painstaking consideration of all the data and phenomena affecting his welfare.
It is alarming that the race has no Declaration of Principles, no Race Creed of action, no organized defenses against the widespread discrimination and injustice perpetrated against him daily in his civic, economic and social life. As a result many No groups are without hope, others are becoming discounted and thousands are rapidly turning from the characteristic patience which has hitherto dominated the life of the race. It is difficult for the human mind to imagine anything but disaster to come from such a changing order undirected by safe counsel and same leadership.
The situation calls for the united action of the virilio, sane and potent leaders; it renders a challenge to the manhood and womanhood of the race for a national program of con-orted action.
The National Race Congress faces the challenge to assemble in Washington, D.C., May 3—6, 1922, the race leaders of America; including labor leaders, lodge leaders, church leaders, leaders of civic organizations, leaders of women's clubs and other race men and women to institute a National Race Policy and to draft a definite aggressive and Nationwide program for the future welfare of our people. Such a united force will be felt—a united Negro voice will be heard. You are urged to be present at this meeting and to take membership with this organization. Will you send me a list of leaders in your community to be invited? Your cooperation and support in every way are very respectfully solicited.
yours

To the New York Dental and Pharma
To the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical profession, of the United States.
All of us were horror stricken a few days ago to read accounts of the terrible calefaction that befell the colored citizen of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Indescribable suffering has been, and is being experienced by these victims of mob ruse. Our professional men of Tulsa, from all accounts, were eagerly sought prey of the mob. Dr. Andrew C. Jackson who had been active in local, state and national medical societies was wantonly murdered. The Oklahoma Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association which is affiliated with the National Medical Association has initiated what is known as the Tulsa Doctors Relief Fund. An appeal has been sent out by them requesting every physician, dentist and pharmacist to immediately send a contribution to Dr. Guess, 421 1—2 East Fifth Street, Okmulge, Okla. Dr. Guess is secretary of the State Association.
As President of the National Medical Association, I am appealing to the members of the three professions whether members of our Association or not to immediately contribute to the Tulsa Doctors Relief Fund. JOHN P. TURNER President National Medical Association
EVANGELIST W. H. SKIPWITH
IN BROOKLYN.
Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, Howard and Herkimer Streets, Dr. J. W. Haralin, Pastor
We are in the midst of one of the greatest revivals it has been our privilege since I have been pastor.
The Rev. W. H. Skipwith, D. D., National and International preacher, and singer of Richmond, Va., and exwhere else is with us and well deserves the credit and honor of being the best all around Evangelist of our race.
Among the many things to be greatly admired in Dr. Skipwith is, he is not full of self, but meek, unassuming, congenial, plain and practicable in delivering the truth, convincing and persuasive in argument then again he is a great help to a pastor, for twenty years this young, giant has been going over the length and breadth on this country, and I have never heard of him trying to undermine, any pastor out of his church, therefore a pastor can be sick or well, at home or abroad, and feel perfectly satisfied with this man of God, this great evangelist, Dr. Skipwith in his pupil. A man of this kind is worth having brethren. We are having conversions at each service. Baptizing next Sunday.

NATURE PROVIDES THE INGREDIENTS.
Argo-Phosphate, the New Herbal Remedy, Now Endorsed by Local People.
If the digestive organs are not properly performing the work which nature has assigned to them, then nutrition, which is absolutely essential to the recovery of other diseased parts, will be lacking and there can be no permanent relief. When bodily nutrition is normal, the stomach digests the food, the blood absorbs and carries the nourishment to the different parts of the body, causing the various organs to properly perform their functions.
Nature has provided a remedy in the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate, the new herbal stomach remedy, which is now being introduced here. It is purely vegetable and its vitalizing, corrective and reconstructive qualities are so pronounced that beneficial results are noticed from the first day. That this is true, it is only necessary to listen to the statements made daily by local people who have given Argo-Phosphate a fair trial and have been benefited thereby.
It is dispensed by all druggists.
