This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. MAY 17, 1923 VIRGINIA FEB. 90 1926 STATE LIBRARY THE RICHMOND PLANET THE LEADING WHITE CITIZENS MAKE PROTEST Racial Integrity Measure Meets Strong Opposition--Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson in Limelight VOLUME XLIII, NO. 15 THE L WHITE MAK Racial Inte Strong C W. T. Jo SENATE, COMMITTEE TAKES NO DEFINITE ACTION ON BILL AIMED AT HAMPTON Charges that the doctrine of social equality is being taught at the Hampton Normal School for Negroes at Hampton, Va., were made Monday, February 15th, in a hearing before the Senate General Laws Committee on a bill providing for separation of races in public places and assemblies. The committee later, in executive session, passed by the bill until its next meeting on Friday. Foremost among those opposing the bill, were Hunter L. Ferguson, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, and Frank Darling, wealthy oysterman and prominent citizen of Hampton. Both are trustees of the Hampton Normal School. WRONG IN PRINCIPLE Mr. Ferguson said that to correct a specific thing in one community by general legislation is wrong in principle. "Give us a chance," he said. "If this condition is not corrected, you will not find me appearing here two years hence opposing this piece of legislation." Those speaking in favor of the bill were Judge C. Vernon Spratley, Colonel W. S. Copeland, publisher of the Newport News Daily Press; Major H. Selater Montague, Delegate G. A. Massenburg, Harry H. Holl, John Powell, pianist, and Major E. S. Cox, ethnologist. Colonel Copeland stated that the condition was no longer a local matter, that graduates of the Hampton school were carrying to many communities of Virginia their views. Indiscriminate seating of whites and Negroes in the Hampton hall, he said, tended to break down racial pride, and gave outsiders opportunity to say Virginia is not opposed to mingling of the races in public assemblies. John Powell declared that radical Negro legislators from without the State and their white allies were attempting to break down the color line, the maintenance of which has been the salvation of both races, Virginia, he said, had been selected as the ground for a test, and the Hampton Normal School was teaching equality to its students. READ MINISTERS' STATEMENT. A statement from the Methodist ministers of Richmond, urging the appointment of a commission to study the race separation problem and to make a report to the next session of the General Assembly was read to the committee. Senator Mills, chairman, and Senator Garrett, wanted to question Dr. James Gregg, white principal of the Hampton School, regarding the doctrine taught there, but Dr. Gregg was not present. The hearing attracted the largest throng that has appeared before any committee of the Assembly at this session. Among the spectators were Dr. R. H. Blackwell, president of Randolph Macon College and Dr. C. Mitchell professor of history at the University of Richmond, and former president of the University of Delaware and the Medical College of Virginia. Chief Justice William Howard Taft, of the United States Supreme Court, is chairman of the board of visitors of the Hampton Institute. A large body of citizens met in St. Paul's Church last Saturday aft- ernoon to draw up a series of resolutions opposing House bill No. 30 and Senate bill No. 68 now before the General Assembly. House bill No. 30, which provides for segregation of persons white and persons non-white in public halls, theaters, etc. is protested against on the ground that it is alleged that Chinese Japanese and other peoples not white will be subjected to the proposed law. The resolutions further condemn the intercourse bill as unnecessary, and as attaching a stigma to the name of the people of Virginia. Other sections might construe such legislation as necessary to prevent the mixing of whites and blacks radially in Virginia, the resolutions state. It would also offend colored people of every hue and nation, the paper avers. Let proper legislation be enacted, when it is necessary, say the signers of the petition, but they do not wish Virginia to stir up ill-will by ill-advised laws. In closing, the resolutions state that the makers are desirous of preserving white racial purity and white social supremacy, but do not wish to hurt or humiliate the Negro by unnecessarily harsh legislation, and therefore they petition the General Assembly not to pass the bills now pending before it. The foreign mission board of the Southern Baptist Convention has at ready gone on record as opposing the bills, as have several ministers' conferences. The resolutions were presented to the joint session of House and Senate committees last Monday afternoon. Recently the citizens of Virginia have been greatly stirred over the race separation bill now pending before the Senate. This bill is known as House Bill number 20. It contains 38 regulation lines and sets forth as a requirement the separation of white and colored persons at public halls, theaters, opera houses, motion picture shows, places of public entertainments and public assemblages and provides a penalty for violation of the provisions thereof. At three o'clock Monday afternoon February 15, 1926, Dr. W. T. Johnson was given an opportunity to speak in behalf of the Negro, at whom the bill is directed. We are proud to say he proved himself to be an excellent defender of his race and from what we observed, and heard since, we are sure that he made many friends for our race in this important fight. We failed to have our stonographer present, hence we will have to forego the pleasure of giving you the entire speech of Dr. Johnson and content ourselves in giving you some excerpts from which you will be able to see the trend of his argument. In speaking ethnologically he said, "We do not claim to know all about the science which treats of the division of man into races and tells of their origin and relations to one another but we do claim to know FOR SALE—50 ROOM MODERN HOTEL. Business established. Address J. S. WOODS. 218 Cherry St., Milwaukee, Wis. Will furnish description and price. Shaw University has decided to do away with a high school or preparatory work. Students must enter prepared to go on with immediate collegiate work. SHALL THE UNION HARTSHORN CAMPAIGN FAIL? This is a question that the colored people in Virginia, especially in Richmond, must soon answer. Last year a campaign was started to raise $100,000 among the colored people of the state. For every dollar of this amount five dollars would be given from other sources. The money is to be used for increasing buildings on the campus. The institution is crowded with students, there is impatient need of a girls dormitory. Many girls are turned away, others are forced to seek homes in the city. There are not enough class rooms for the teachers. It is a common thing this year to see a teacher and his class going up and down the halls of the reactivation building trying to find a vacant room in which to recite. Shall this condition be relieved? Shall the offer made be appreciated, five dollars for one? The campaign committee has renewed its efforts this year and another move is about to be made to give Richmond, a second chance to do what was asked last year. When the committee reconvened this year Dr. W. J. Clark President of the University reported that only $25,000 had been secured from Richmond and only $18,000 of this amount had been paid in cash, the remainder being in dividends. The committee, and the institute on is more than thankful for what has been done but the opportunity to secure this great gift must not be lost. The offer ends this year. This is the "last call" that will count to put things over. $25 0:00 more must be raised in Richmond. This could be easily done if every adult in the city would contribute one dollar to this cause. The forces are lined up and on the twenty-third of February the drive will be formally launched. Every neighborhood will be canvassed. Surely Richmond will win her spurs in this matter. Similar movements will be made in Norfolk and other cities. What if they should come out ahead of Richmond. The University benefits Richmond more than it does any other city—because it is in Richmond. Shall Richmond do less than the other cities? A few days ago the pastors of the city met Dr. Clark in conference and decided to have an educational rally day in their respective churches on the second Sunday in April or as soon thereafter as possible. This day shall be the time at which the churches now owing unpaid pledges shall pay up, and if possible, raise additional funds. The groups canvassing in the neighborhoods and the ministers working among their flocks may cause some duplication, but it is the determination of the committee not to miss a man. It is better to be approached twice and to give twice, yea three times, than that the movement should fail. The drive committee is holding meetings twice a week at 00. Clay Street, on Tuesday and Thursday at 8:00 o'clock with a view to perfecting all plans. It is inspiring to be in these meetings and to note the enthusiasm and to learn of the sacrificing effort that the members of the committee are putting forth for the success of the movement.

King is marshaling his forces for the biggest financial year yet. More than $25,000 were raised last year. In a preliminary effort last Sunday, more than $800 were raised by the men and women in a whirlwind effort to pay for granite steps for the entrance to the new building. The women led by Sister Mary E. Satterfield barely nosed out the men under Deacon S. P. Nickerson in this effort. Rev. G. W. Gaines, D. D., the popular pastor of Hood's Memorial Temple A. M. E.

Mattie Harris e. ess--Only One aily Left It was a remarkable procession, one seldom seqn in this part of the country, when the funeral of Mrs. Mattle Logan and William Harris, wanded its way from W. I. Johnson Sons' funeral parlors, a block away to the Sharon Baptist Church, where Rev. R. H. Johnson was waiting to deliver the final eulogies over the dead. Two hearses, one behind the other were noticeable. It was Tuesday afternoon, 9th inst., at 3:30 o'clock when the choir sang its anthem as the mourners passed up the aisle in the church. INSTANTLY KILLED Rev. Johnson read the 23rd Psalm, J. M. Dickey sang "I Want to See Jesus, Don't You." Prayer was offered by Rev. S. C. Burrell, D. D., who recently barely escaped with his life in an automobile accident. Mrs. Mattle Logan was instantly killed, Wednesday, February 3rd at about 4:30 P. M. and William Harris lasted until Sunday, 7th inst., at 4 P. M. The former was a resident of New York City and was a member of St. Paul Baptist Church. She was a widow. The latter had four children and two step children. THOSE BRUISED BODIES. "O, for a Faith that Will Not Shrink," was sung. Rev. Johnson offered a powerful sermon. He referred to the broken, bruised and mangled remains that paid for the folly and direct recklessness* He exerted them to take away all feeling of vindictiveness and throw the mantle of charity over those responsible for the affliction. Rev. J. W. Dudley was invited to the rostrum. The text was from Philippians 4th chapter, 19th verse. ONE LEFT Only one direct member of the family is left.

MARRIED FOLKS disagree often and then express surprise over the attitude of some single folks. CHILDREN as a rule reflect the habits and personality of some one of their parents NINETY PER CENT of the people born these days are looking out for a good time and for nothing else CHILDREN, WHO reach the age of 21 years and then cannot support themselves independently are failures. WE BELIEVE in fundamental principles and trust God for the increase. PLAYING POKER is not confused to cards. Thousands of people seek to get the better of other people by similar methods.

Our expenses are increasingly heavy and, at times, we doubt our ability to make ends meet.

B. D. of 717 W. Broad Street, Savannah, Ga. It is the story of the life work of George Leile, who was born on a plantation of a Mr. Leile in Virginia in 1750 and his parents sold to George's slave owners, where he began his Christian work. He was converted in 1773 and enjoyed absolute freedom to do his great religious work. He organized The First African Baptist Church and it is a history of his great work that Rev. Thomas has dedicated to his wife and transmitted to the public. Write to him for a copy. MR. CARTER'S COMPLIMENT. We have received the following touching and encouraging letter from one of our good friends, Mr. Robert W. Cartger. He is sound to the core: To the Editor of The Planet: My dear Sir,—How stands my name on the subscription list of The Planet? If it is bad I will make it good. And how is your physical and your mental health in these passing days of trouble and disappointment? Most men in your stead, facing the fills of social life would have been snowed beneath false accusation and misrepresentation. But you still go on and are still on the firing line, in the great cause of the race, to which you belong. SEEKING JUSTICE You are still seeking justice of the white ruling class of the Southland for the Negro people, as you have done during the more than forty years of your able leadership. You have continually advised the race to act with kindness and positeness rather than madness and misbehavior in their endeavor to secure that justice for which you and they are contending and would like so much to have. THE WHITE RULING CLASS It will be through the better sentimentality and the higher principles of the white ruling class that the Negro will secure recognition in the higher pursuits of civil life and justice in the Courts of Virginia, and in other parts of the southland, which is now denied. You have done much during the years of your leadership to bring about reconciliation between the white and the colored races and the writer hopes to see you again in the high financial position formerly occupied, having the respect and honor of all people. Your friend, ROBERT W. CARTER. Brookline, Mass. January 23 1926. PRAISE FOR THE EDITOR The Hon.

RICHMOND' VIRGINIA SEPARATION BILL (Continued from Page 1.) something about the most cordial and pleasant relations that exist between the Negroes and the white people in our own State. This cordial and friendly relationship was emphasized in choice words by the white press and prominent persons of the white race about five months ago when we had more than 80,000 Negroes in Richmond, Virginia. It was said then by our white friends that the best Negroes in all the world were, to be found in Virginia. "That's expression was carried by the Associated Press throughout this country of ours, and now before that impression dies away, the Senate in session here today is called upon to consider House Bill number 30, which has for its object the humiliation of the Negro. In thinking over the matter contained in this bill we are forced to ask the question—What we do we want such a change of attitude on the part of our friends the patrons of this bill? Is it because you think we want what you call social equality? "If there be those among us who prefer the color white to red, yellow brown or black, we can find it in our own race. And it would be well to remember that we are not responsible for this condition. We do want Social Justice. Equal Rights before the law and the same privileges that our laws guarantee to other racial groups. "The Negroes have shown their loyalty in times of peace and also in the times of war. In fact, we were the only ones that you trusted to guard and protect your families when you were engaged in the Civil War and in the World War the Negro was selected to guard and protect the seat of Government in Washington, D. C. The fact is that the Negro has shown his loyalty to this country at all times and under the most trying circumstances. "House Bill number 30, now being considered by the Senate has already had some disastrous effects,..." (a) It has fanned the coals of race prejudice and hatred into a flame thus endangering the peace and well-being of the community. (b) It has set in motion a stream of ill-will that will darken the skies of a better understanding among the races if it is not checked by the wise legislation of this law making body of the State of Virginia. (c) It has brought already embarrassment to interracial groups of white and colored persons who are working together to adjust racial differences and making this our State a better place for both races to live in and to work out our problems together. "To my humble way of thinking, the local disaffection complained of in Hampton, Virginia should not be used to block the progress now being made along the lines of racial adjustments in the State of Virginia. Favorable legislative action on the Bill in question will disturb the whole State and bring about an unrest you will not be able to check even by the most drastic measures. You claim that we are needed in the South, but you will not be able to hold us by passing such unwarranted legislation. "This is a period of Racial Good Will and better understanding and the said bill is calculated to block it and make it void. The mind is a curious thing with which to deal and that bill is calculated to disturb it and cause it to function in the wrong way. "As I see it, there are evil effects that will follow in the wake of the passage of House Bill number 30, and I will take the occasion now to name some of them. "(a) Discouragement, uneasiness and discomfort on the part of the leaders of our race, who have and are making good in leading our people along all lines of welfare and uplift work in our State. They are teaching our people to be worthwhile citizens by being owners of their homes and by respectful obedience to law and order. (b) Discouragement will also come to our people generally in the cities and rural districts alike. When you discourage the leader, the followers will be disconcerted, and scattered like sheep having no shepherd. (c) The passage of this bill will lead us to ask the following questions: (1) Are all of our efforts to improve ourselves in vain? (2) Does the white man always mean what he says when he compliments us? (3) Such discriminatory legislation pays in the hands of the extremely radical among us. *W_e cannot solve the race problem by adhering to the two following principles: (1) Might is always right and must prevail at all times without giving due consideration to the circumstances. (2) The strong must oppress the weak regardless of the righteousness of the cause. To follow these principles will lead into the wilderness of disappointment and suffering. To my mind the better plan to follow, in our racial relations would be to follow the teachings of the Golden Rule and our troubles would vanish away as must before the rising sun. "This means that you will have (1) A reverence for human life, for its own sake which will make us unwilling to harm or humiliate or under the development of any human being (2) The obligation to help every human being in need irrespective of race or creed. (3) A spirit that does not harbor hate or retaliation but returns good for evil and wins its enemies by the compelling power of love. "In the application of these three principles lies the hope for the peace and welfare of both races. We appeal to the Senate Committee and the Senate not to allow said bill to be written in the organic law of the State of Virginia." You can have The Planet sent 3 months for 60 cents.

His aim is "Go forward" and live. If you want to succeed in your battles of life. You will do so "In so as much as we give". BREAD TRUST SHEPHERD ANIT TRUST LAW WILL ANNOUNCE DETAILS THE FIRST OF MAY--NEW FORFEIT , POSTED BY PROMOTER. SOUTH BEND, IND., Feb. 15- Jack Dempsey heavyweight champion announced today that Floyd Fitzsimmons, Benton Harbor (Mich.) promoter, has posted a new forfeit for a boxing bout between Dempsey and Harry Wills, Negro challenger, to be held in September. Dempsey and his wife, Estelle Taylor, are visiting with Fitzsimons at his home in Benton Harbor. BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Feb. 14—Far from being counted out as the promoter of the Dempsey-Wills heavyweight championship battle Floyd Fitzsimons today appeared to have the match under his thumb. He indicated as much shortly before Jack Dempsey and Mia Dempsey prepared to leave Baltimore. Traffic was blocked on East Main Street yesterday by hundreds who sought a glimpse of the champion. He appeared to be fit and give his weight as about 200 pounds. "Fitz is the doctor; what he says will go." This was the way Dempsey replied to a question as to who would handle his coming battle with Harry Wills. Fitzsimons admitted they were conferring on arrangements for the coming projected bout.

MRS. HAYES DIES AT MARION. MARION VA., —Mrs. B. E. Hayes sudden death here was a great shock. For many years she had been a member of the First Baptist Church, having professed faith in Christ under the pastorate of Rev. Samuel Cyrus, Sr. He administered the rite of baptism to her more than 35 years ago. Her death was very shocking On Friday night, January 29 she attended an entertainment at the Baptist Church and participated in a duet, after which she remained some time, eating ice cream and other good things served by the ladies of the church. After enjoying herself she returned to the home of Rev. W. H. Michel, with whom she made her home and about 11 o'clock she retired for the night. She talked from her room awhile to Rev. Mitchell and wife, who slept upstairs. Mrs Hayes was a very efficient woman. She was born in South Fork, Smyth County, Va., in which she lived practically all of her life. She spent about one year in Cranford, N. J. some few years ago. She had been a citizen of Marlon from girlhood. She taught public school several years during early life, at Bradford, Va., at which time she became acquainted with Mr. Robert Hayes and they were famously united in marriage. He long since preceded her to the grave. To this union was born one son, who perhaps survives his mother. She was a useful woman in church and Sunday School. She was honored years ago as superintendent of the Sunday School of this place and at one time teacher of the same school. She was clerk of the church at one time, also and filled all of these positions with credit to herself and church. But she is no more. Rev. W. H. Mitchell arose as usual on Saturday TOBEY AND TYKE morning, January 30, came down stairs and called to Sister Hayes, but no answer came. He therefore made his way to her bed, where she slept with his ten year old daughter Julia Mitchell. He found Sister Hayes had breathed her last. To Rev. Mitchell and family, as well as the community in which she was held in high esteem, her death was a great shock. The funeral was conducted Monday, February 1, 1926 at 3 P. M., from the Baptist Church by her pastor, Rev. H. L. Christmas, assisted by Rev. T. C. Fraser, pastor of the M. E. Church, Marion. Va.; Rev. Lambert, pastor of A. M. E. Zon; Rev. G. W. Lomans, of Challowie Va.; Rev. Anderson Davis, presiding elder of M. E. Church; Licentiate William Hall, of New River, Va The church was crowded long before the hour of the funeral and sorrowing friends were present to pay their respect and honor to their friend, Sister B. E. Hayes. The beautiful floral designs well revealed the many close and admiring friends of the deceased. The pallbearers weres William Sharpe, Warren Johnson, George Finley, Charlie Goble, Henry Hughes, Chancy Cooley. Our friends are remembering us and the time will come when we can remember them. DO YOU KNOW THEM? Major R. B. Jordan, Chief of Police has shown a most commendable interest in locating persons of our race, whose whereabouts are desired by their friends and relatives in other localities. A party is writing from Albany, N. Y. desiring to know the whereabouts of Mr. Clarkson Rue and Mr. Gus Rue and a half-brother named John Springenet, colored. He has four sons: Harry, Darrix, George and Charley DeFriest. One of the daughters of Mr. Clarkson married John Edward Friest. May 20 1890. DR. BLAKENRY LOCATES HERE. Dr. J. A.

Stop Night Cough This New Way Quick Relief Thru Simple Treatment Thousands who have been unable to sleep nights due to irritating night coughing can now obtain practically instant relief and sleep soundly the very first night—through a simple but wonderfully effective treatment. This treatment is based on the prescription known by Dr. King's New Discovery for Cough. You take just one teaspoonful at bedtime and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it also promotes pungent and congestion which are the causes of night coughing. So with the throat closed and cleared, coughing stops quickly, you sleep undisturbed, and the entire cough condition soon disappears. Dr. King's New Discovery is for coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis, spasmodic cough, etc. Fine for children as well as grown-ups—no harmful drugs. Economical, too, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good druggists. Ask for DR.KING'S NEW DISCOVERY FOR COUGHS Are Your Muscles Sore? If you are in misery from pain, this way brings relief Sore muscles, sprains, strains and a great many different kinds of aches and pains need, first of all, the use of this good, old, reliable and absolutely harmless way of quitting pain.

AUTOCASTER Here is the great "Plant Wizard," snapped while on an inspection tour of his wonder gardens at Santa Rosa, California. The world, to which he has given stoneless plums, seedless oranges, and a hundred other "fruits of his labors," is glad to hear he will not retire, nor will his gardens be sold as was reported. SIX This Week By Arthur Brisbane EATING HARD COAL. HEAVIEST BABY LAMB. POODLES. 2 AND 4 LEGS. BURBANK AN INFIDEL? Failure of another effort to end the coal stubble hybrids coal so much more to control by the Government. Coal under ground is owned by individuals only through public consent. Everything that represents electrode public necessity (salt, water, coal, pollutants) must naturally be subject to public control. Most owners are sold by union leaders to be fording in practical fashion. The unions brought trouble on themselves in the beginning by defiant refusal of arbitration. Unionists and owners are working here as they have done in England toward Government control of mines. It will come here eventually. The people will not forever consent to shiver, while "capital and leser" fight about the terms on which the people may have heat. The heaviest new born lamb on record arrives on the farm of Robert Magge in Michigan, weighing fourteen pounds. The pew born cub of a 600 pound bear weighs only a few ounces, and the mother is usually sound asleep, in late Winter, when her baby is born. Why should nature inflict on delicate human mothers infants weighing twelve pounds and more? An Italian doctor believes that the right diet for the mother would make the new baby much lighter and stronger and childbirth much easier. The fattest, heaviest baby is not necessarily the best. Profits on the Pennsylvania Railroad for one year reach a "break" for all time, more than Luther Burbank, Fa Here is the great "Plant W tion tour of his wonder gardens s to which he has given stoneless p drod other "fruits of his labors," w will his gardens be sold as was r Royal Teacher A.

This, and increasing railroad profits everywhere, should gain a friendly hearing and better pay for railroad workers. To raise the pay of millions of men would cost hundreds of millions a year. But that is the scale we are now geared up to, nationally, and the hundreds of millions would be poured back into general prosperity, the railroads getting their share. Husbands are gradually losing their ancient "rights". The marriage service no longer makes woman promise to obey. English law no longer permits a man to beat his wife with a stiletto no bigger around than his thumb. A Russian husband no longer beats his wife gently on their marriage day to prove that he is behead. And now a wife gets her divorce with cash alluringly because the husband, during the past eight years, has had a way of calling her in the morning by throwing cold water on her as she lay in bed at 6. An occasional, not frequent beating, added to the effect of the cold water. an expert says poedies and other趴 dogs "go mad" often or than dogs that take more exercise. Another expert, friendly to poedies, says that isn't so. One thing is certain, HUMAN poedies, poedied and pampered by inherited money, go mad, or lose their balance much more quickly than those that work for a living. See the divorce and "high class" crime news in your daily newspapers. Luther Burbank in a San Francisco pulpit gives more information concerning his views on a Supreme Being. He says he is an infidel, but believes in God. Of course he doesn't KNOW that he is an infidel, and he can't tell whether he believes in God or not. "Bellief" is a word used commonly to describe a mental habit. As to the existence of a Supreme Being, the belief of individuals, from Thales to the Mahatma Gandhi, is about as important as the beliefs of so many hoptades speculating on the nature, power and purposes of a passing airplane.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know By John J. O'Connor Most every one knows the location and general outline of the great sewer of the body. Colitis is defined as "any disturbance of the secretion or innovation in the colon." It is not necessarily inflammatory. Displacements or nagging of the colon may be a partial cause, and overlanding contributes to the ugly process. Protracted errors of diet are probably the most real source, and these errors, if known, may be avoided. I have seen chronic colitis intensified by surgical operations in the abdomen, leaving the patient wondering why she didn't get entirely well—the operator apparently overlooking the complication. And, too much, even of the right kind of nourishment, will keep colitis active. Diet is all that may be suggested here. Swallow no fibers, salts, or seeds. Fibers may be animal or vegetable; tough meats, fried steaks, celery, radish, or hard, raw fruits—abandon them. Snacks of grapes, baked apples, prunes, cherries, tomatoes—all harmful. Seeds of blackberries, raspberries, and pies made of those berries—avoid them. It is well also, to exclude dressings, such as are served with baked fowl, and sharp, peppery, condiments. Do not use infesting enthartics, unless you would keep the smouldering fire burning. Use or stewed meats and vegetables, served with both than raw fruits, though almost fruit-juices are adviable for the nerves. Soft cereal with cream, butter and toast are excellent. Eggs too. Brown bread and not white bread, should be eaten. If you are over-stout, cut your dietary in half until you reduce. Buttermilk is most available—sweet milk is objectionable, unless ordered by your physician. The treatment of colitis may involve many months.

AYRES --- Darl Pays Mayor a Visit Mayor Edwin Brown, Seattle, Wash. played host to a real-honest-to-goodness bull recently when the animal strolled into the executive's office. BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTER, veteran of many battles in the World War, is saved from death when a shell bursts in his chest, but quickly from his injuries, but the shock has snapped a thread in his mind. He has lost his memory. Peter has forgotten his engagement to NAN MARRABY, in London, just heartbreak for France. Nan is heartbroken to be over her heart ever since the day she tried to tryst. Nan has been living with JOAN ENDICOTT, in a small London house her stepmother has died suddenly and care for her three young stepbrothers. Through Peter's plight, Nan has been working with LIBUT, JOHN RINGER, arranging to take Peter to the home of his sister, situated just a few miles away, home town. Nan is home a train, homeward bound. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY THE train only stopped once on the tournay down into Huey shire: Nan went to the window then and looked out. She had said that she hated the country, but it was not really true—nobody could hate the country, especially in the spring. The guard blew his whistle—the train had begun to move slowly away when the door of Nan's carriage was flung open and a man precipitated himself in. He tumbled ineglectantly on to the seat and looked across at Nan with smiling apology, "I'm sorry—I nearly missed it." He stopped, and a little frown crossed his brows. "I beg your pardon, but surely—aren't you Miss Marraby?" The blood flew to Nan's face. "I am, but . . ." The man held his hand to her. "My name is Sefton," he said. "You remember me—I meet you with Peter Lyster the last night he was in England." A wave of crimson rushed over Nan's face; with distressed eyes she stared at the man. "I remember you," she said, in earnestly. "—I—remember you perfectly." She gave her hand; her mind seemed to be working at lightning speed. Had he seen Peter since his return from France? If so, had he heard anything? "It's odd how one meets people again." She hardly knew what she was saying. "I suppose you don't live down this way—my home is at Leavenden; I am just going there now." "I don't really live here," he answered, "but, as a matter of fact, I've taken a furnished house for the sitting and summer months. I was always at the country." "I hope we shall see a great deal of another," he added. "I don't expect I shall go out very much," she said constrained. "As a matter of fact, I was wired for this afternoon—my stepmother has died and—and there are three little boys left." Setton said he was sorry "Are you going to stay at home or permanently?" he asked. "I gather that you have not been living at home. She rather resented his tone. "I really don't know," she answered, and looked away from him out of the window at the flying counter. "Letter?" the man opposite her was saying, "I hope you know of him." She moved her head slowly; the man had been asked in all information recently. Sefton knew what had happened. "Indeed." His rather subtle smile brought the color to her face. "Perhaps I shall be seeing something of him, then," he said, easily. Lyster will be coming down, of course? "I don't think so." Nan forced herself to smile. Her mind leapt ahead into the future, and she knew that this man must hear sooner or later what had happened. She forced herself to go on: "Perhaps I had better tell you that Mr. Lyster and I are no longer engaged," she said. Her voice was quite steady, but Selton was threw enough to guess that it held underlying pain. He raised his brows. "Is that so—I must sympathize—with Lyster," he added courteously. "I really don't think you need R. 7. SCOUT "Mr. Lyster and I are no longer engaged," said Nan. trouble," Nan answered. "We just discovered that we had—made a mistake." The last words were a rush. "I hope if ever you meet him, Mr. Sefton, that you will not mention my name at all." He leaned forward and touched her hand with his own. "I think it is a most sensible view to take," he said. "If all women were like you, Miss Marrabry--" Sefton was looking at her with undisguised admittance. He was delighted to find that he was to have this girl for a near neighbor. "So you have three small stepbrothers?" he said. "Yes." Perhaps you will allow me to take them out in my car sometimes," he suggested. "I have a great deal of time on my hands and I am very fond of children." Nan did not believe it, but she thanked him and said that it was a kind suggestion. "What you have just told me of yourself and Lyster," the man opposite her was saying casually, "reminds me of a case which I heard me last night. The man was a friend of mine. He was enough, and he rushed into marriage just before going to France. He'd a nice little girl he married. He'd only known her a few days—one of those war weddings, you know. I believe she was genuinely fond of him, but he—he shrugged his shoulders—he was the sort of man to be a.k.a. his pretty face. Anyway, his wife pretty face, the other quite by chance—that he had come home on leave and never let her ```markdown ``` know. She went to see him, of course, and the fellow had the audacity to pretend that he didn't know her." Nan's cheeks flamed. She forced herself to composure. "And you are compating myself and Mr. Lyster to—this ludromatic pair?" she asked lightly. "Not in the least, I assure you," he answered. "It was the mere fact of your having broken your engagement that recalled the incident to my mind. Nan kept her eyes fixed on his face. "And—and the girl you spoke of just now?" she asked. He shrugged his shoulders. "Poor little thing—one cannot but feel sorry for her, but for the man, though he is a friend of mine, it seemed rather a low-down game to play." "You mean?" she asked, with an effort. "I mean, to pretend that he had lost his memory and did not know her. . . ." Nan caught her breath. "Lost his memory!" she cooed. "That is what he pretended, and, of course"—Setton laughed callously—"I need not say that there was another woman in the case all the time." Nan felt as if her body had grown suddenly gold. She leaned back in the room with a feeling of dreadful weakness. "Another woman! But . . . but, oh, how could he!" Setton looked at her with a faint smile. "I have learned never to be surprised at anything that happens nowadays," he said, cynically. He let the window down with a run. "I think we must be near Little Gadsden now. How are you going to get out to Leavenden?" a map of some sort. Nan answered. "And if not I shall leave my bag at the station and walk." "My car will meet me," he told hor. "I shall be delighted to drive you out if I may." Nan wanted to refuse, but she thought it would seem absurd. "It's very kind of you," she said. The train ran into the station and Setton opened the door. A liveried man came forward to meet him and took his suit-case. Setton indicated Nan's modest bag on the rack. He went over to Leavenden first. "The NAN man walked out of the station together. As they bowled along the lanes in Satton's car she caught little glimpsees of yellow primroses in the woods, and now and then the faint, elusive sume of violet violets. "I need not tell you that there was another woman in the case all the time. . . ." The words haunted her. There was something parallel between her own story and the one of which he had spoken. That other man had just pretended to have lost his memory, whilst Peter . . . she looked to me for a moment, and thought of Peterson Lynch's work, fear as she had seen it only that morning; the tired look in his eyes, the absent-minded indifferent way in which he had seemed to regard everything, and she knew it was impossible to doubt him. "If you will ask your man just to put me down here." Nan said, "I can walk the rest of the way; the house is quite close now." Sefton spoke to the driver, and the car stopped. Nana was also grabbed her small suitcase hurriedly. She did not want this man to go up to the house with her, she held her hand. "Goodbye, and thank you so much. . . ." "Not 'goodbye'," he answered, quickly, "I hope this is only the first of many such meetings." She did not know what to answer. "And, Miss Marabry, if ever you want a friend, I hope you will remember me." Nan's color deepened. "You are very kind, but I'm a very independent person. I don't think it's at all likely—thank you, you all the same." But he would not take the rebuke he only smiled. "I hope you will remember," he said again. He stood looking after Nan as she ran down the lane that led up to the house.

After waitin thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated or as that was the only chance for me I was addressed to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to force being operated on. I did so, and in twenty four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large sea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend to all suffering humanity. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE. Mr. L. J. Hayden. 224 West Broad Street. Richmond, Va I received your treatment O.

The following ringing words of Major General Boll, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes", the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said: "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome".
