WITH THE PLANET'S ADVERTISERS In looking over the post year the advertising problem is first and foremost and people, who have been served by our patrons are satisfied and our patrons, who have received the business of these people are thankful. THE CHARLES G JURGEN'S SON Corporation has been using the columns of The Planet regularly for more than thirty five years. It is a case of from father to son. The founder of the business was the beginner and his action has been achieved up until now. When you are in the market for fine furniture and household necessities of strictly reliable grade, go to Adams and Broad Streets and make a selection. This great emporium will meet you either on the cash or on the credit basis. EDWARD STEWART 203 South Second Street has won his way by individual effort. He studies the wants and the wishes of his particular line of customers and what he sends to the house is just what the house-wife wants. His prices are reasonable. In doing most of his work himself, he has been able to so reduce expenses as to be able to give his customers the benefit of his far seeing judgment. THE IMPROVED ORDER SHEP HERDS AND DAUGHTERS OF BETHLEHEM needs no special introduction to these columns. Since Mrs. Ora B Stokes, the great leader and benefactor to the colored people of this section, has had control of this progressive organization, it has attracted attention over the eastern section of these United States. Secretary A, C. Clark is particularly fitted for the position which he holds and complete harmony exists between him and his distinguished chief. They are paying their claims promptly and are making bid for public favor. THE WEISBERGER COMPANY is an asset for the people of Richmond and the men and women of moderate means find a veritable haven of refuge there. Prices are scaled down to meet the requirements of the limited pocket book. From the top floor to the basement, a display of goods is shown that causes the young and old to smile with delight. Mr. Samuel Weisberger is the master hand in carrying out the business motto, "Everything cheaper at Weisberger." THE BROWNS are prepared to help you in posting.

Dr. Skipwith will sing his special selections, being assisted by the choir. At the Ebenezer Baptist Church last Sunday morning the able Rev W. H. Stokes, Ph. D, delivered a masterly short sermon from Matthew 24:14. "And this gospel of the king dom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations." At the conclusion of the discourse he paid a tribute to the Law Department of the Virginia Union University. Three out of five of its graduates passed the bar examination of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia at its recent meeting in this city Rev. Stokes expressed the hope that a medical department would be added to the institution. A mild sensation was caused when he announced that no services would be held on Christmas Day, although regular services would be held next Sunday. There would be no masse, although he expected to provide one or two selections himself. Rev J J Carter, the assistant pastor had made the regular announcements. Just before the an nouncement of the benediction, Chloe Leader W. D. Jones arose and an nouncement there would be no "cos" music, but that there would be Christmas music. Rev Stokes spoke quickly to say that this was not the information given last Thursday night and curtly remarked that he had announced the program for Sunday. It was plainly evident that a lack of accord existed between the pastor and the chale leader, and a group gathered and discussed the situation in the front yard of the church.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17—The lynch-ing community of Alken, South Carolina is again in the limelight with a "Miscegenation" case, according to information reaching the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 69 Fifth Avenue White people in the community between the towns of Windsor and White Pond have threatened "trouble" to a young married couple if they try to live in their home because the young husband. Arthur Munday, is accused of having colored blood. Munday was arrested after his marriage, charged with "posing as a white man," and later released on $1,000 bond. A local newspaper reports: "Munday gave bond and is now at liberty but it is understood that he has been plainly told by citizens of the community that if he should undertake to return there with his wife there would be trouble. "The crime of miscegenation, charged against him is severely dealt with under the laws of this State, a penalty being fixed of from not less than 12 months and a fine of $500 to ten years and a fine of from $2,000 to $3,000 upon conviction. This is to prevent intermarriage between the races. "The woman in the case is said to be crushed by the charms that have been brought and the developments following her marriage." VA.

CHAPIN YOUR WINDOW BEST WISHES THE SPIRIT OF KINDLINESS CHAPIN AUTOCASTER CHICAGO Out of the 2,432, 300 horses born in the United States just year, 187,300 did before the end of twelve months according to Herbert C. Cooks, secretary of the Evaporated Milk Association in an address here. "The big per cent mortality among the country's babies occurred during the first month of life." said Mr. Hooks. "And a majority of cases was the direct result of lack of care. Such a condition is a challenge that no civilized country can further hope to pass by. In recent years doctors have discovered that mean a healthy happier life for children. They have ascertained for instance, in regard to food, that growing boys and girls need a quart of clean, pure milk daily. The child need not have this amount served to him as drink, but the should receive it, either in this form or in combination with other foods. If evaporated milk is given preference for the child's milk needs and many pediatricians advocate its use because of its sterility and for the reason that it is easier of digestion, a pint daily will meet the same amount as a quart of bottled milk. Reason this is that evaporated milk is twice as rich in protein, minerals, and butter fat as ordinary milk, due to the fact that more than half of its water content has been removed. "Fresh vegetables, fruits, cereals, and plenty of water to drink are other essentials to the good health of children. The health OH, BOY! SNU. Small. A CHAMP CONDITIONING regimen of a child's life also demands that he have long hours of sleep every night with windows open, and a proper amount of wholesome exercise. With these few simple aids to well being as a foundation, there can be no question as to the favorable effect in the country's infant mortality rate." WIMBERS A woman kneels and holds a turkey.

ATLANTA, GA., Dec. 20.—Advices from New York announce the award by the Harmon Foundation of $500 and 'a gold medal to Will W. Alexander, of this city, as the person adjudged to have made the most notable contribution to the improvement of race relations in America during the past year. The award was based on Mr. Alexander's service as Director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, a Southern organization with headquarters here and state and local branches throughout the South. It is considered significant not only as a tribute to Mr. Alexander's work personally, but also as recognizing the essential soundness of the principles and methods followed by the movement which he heads. THE INTERRACIAL COMMISSION PRIZES ATTRACT MANY STUDENTS Scores Preparing to Enter Papers in Race Relations Contest. ALTANTA, GA., Dec. 22.—Many students in colleges throughout the South are planning to submit papers on "Justice in Race Relations" in the competition recently announced by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, according to a statement from the Commission's headquarters in Atlanta. Nearly a hundred young men and women from more than fifty institutions have already written to the commission, expressing a desire to enter papers and requesting further information and suggestions. In addition many professors have requested the information for members of their classes and are encouraging them to enter the competition. The head of the department of sociology in one of the big state universities writes that all the members of one of his classes are going to compete. From present indications it is expected that the number of papers submitted will far exceed those of previous years. The three prizes offered by the Commission are $100, $65, and $35 respectively. The contest closes April 1., so there is still plenty of time to enter to enter who desire. Full information and suggestions as to treatment and schedule may be had by writing the Commission. 409 Palmer Building, Atanta, Ga. TEXANS MAKE BONDS ON PEONAGE CHARGES. (Preston News Service.) BROWNSVILLE, TEX., Dec. 24. — Coming to Brownsville from Raymondsville in a body, Wallacy county officers and citizens named in peonage indictments turned in here Monday in District Federal Court Tuesday afternoon made bond in the sum of $500 as a minimum for the count and $1,000 additional for the extra counts. Sheriff Raymond Teller, County Attorney R. F. Robinson, Frank Brandt deputy, and Floyd Dodd, justice of the peace, each made bond of $7,000. The bonds were signed by B. V. Crowell, C. E. Redlund and other Raymondville residents. Bond in the other cases involving deputies and farmers of Wallacy county were $5,000 each, and were made in Federal Court.

Thirteen years ago we've leading physicians of my city treated me for kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before 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 pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.

THE HOLY NIGHT— From Correggio's Famous Painting V "And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. "And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were afraid. "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of This Week By Arthur Brisbane HOOVER'S PLAN. DON'T KISS THE BABY. CONGRESS MEETS. 290,000,000 MAN POWER. Secretary Hoover's plan for waterways in the United States is a magnificent, common-sense presentation of what this country should do. Mr. Hoover shows that 3,000,000 horsepower, more than three times the amount now taken from Niagara Falls, could be developed on the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. Reservoirs and dams in connection with this development would check floods in the Mississippi valley, and provide a six-foot channel connecting the Tennessee and Cumberland with the Ohio and Mississippi. The South knows what that power, now wasted, would mean to Atlanta, Birmingham, Chattanooga and Nashville. That is only one item in a great program that the will of the American people should put through. Dr. Bundesen, Health Commissioner of Chicago, says many fathers and mothers "kiss their babies into the grave." To kiss an infant on the mouth is a crime. Parents stupid enough to allow strangers to kiss their children almost deserve the result. An infant's blood lacks the protein strength, the calcium fighting enzymes, that come later in life. For that reason consumption with days starts before the child is 2 years old. Millions of unfortunate children have had the tuberculosis germs planted in their bodies. Let them die. --- great joy, which shall be to all people. "For unto you is born this day in city of David a Saviour, which is Ch. the Lord. "And this shall be a sign unto you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." mothers. Kiss your baby, on top of its head. Let no one else kiss or kille it. Congress, resuming business, will find the indignant farmer sitting on the Capitol steps telling big income taxpayers, "Until the Government does something for us farmers, YOU don't get that refund of $250,000,000." Lord Rothermere says Britain misses prosperity by failure to develop electric power. "The economic welfare of the United States," says he, "is based more than anything else on the fact that she has 29,000,000 electrical horsepower in her factories, equal to 290,000,000 human workers." Joseph S. Donovan knew exactly what he wanted when he went to work in a carpet factory for $1.50 a week. While he was working in the shop he said he would make a million by the time he was forty-five and retire. Last September, not yet forty-four, he had made his million and retired as he promised. Now he is dead. The best thing, when you have made your first million, is to go on and make the second. It isn't the money, but the fact that you are working, which enables others to find employment and independence. The right kind of American begins his rest when the undertaker gets him. That is a long and an early enough rest for anybody. There is no room on the earth for a parasite and any man that stops working, before he's ninety, is that. Dr. Spahlinger, Swiss scientist, has shown that cattle can be made immune to tuberculosis by vaccination. The fight against tuberculosis could be made successfully without vaccination, although that would be a great blessing, should it prove successful in advanced cases. Good food, fresh air, rest and reasonable exercise are the tuberculosis cures that nature supplies. Supreme Court Justice William Harmon Black denounces "chicken-hearted judges and juries" that encourage crime, wants quick trials, with two-thirds of the jury deciding, no unanimous vote necessary. The two-thirds Ida would not suit criminals, and the prosperous among them would be oblited to purchase at least five of twelve jurors, whereas now one or two purchased "game games" can prevent conviction. Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. DISEASES OF CIVILIZATION The civilized world possesses advantages ever the uncivilized; all except in the matter of health. Look at our formidable array of life-destroyers, that were unknown to the cave-man: Cancer—unknown to the Aborigine. Constipation—parent of a hundred serious conditions—the American Indian never heard of it. Colitis, appendicitis, hemorrhoids all civilized admonitor. ● Neuritis in all its forms—none for the Hottentot. Ulcers of the digestive tract—no Zulu or Sikh ever had one. Pyorrhoea—the cannibals had the finest teeth explorers ever saw. Did you ever hear of the Swish Indian having dyspepsia? A Hopi having gout? A Senegambian with "blood-pressure?" Any apoplexy among the Seminoles? Heart disease has never caused the death of a noble Red Man! Queer, isn't it? When we stop to think, the facts are astounding; perhaps the healthiest bread ever made, was from corn kernels pulverized between heavy stones, the meal mixed with water to the proper consistence, and baked upon brick-like earth, under the embers of an outdoor fire. At least it produced the healthiest human beings, even if it did its "tickling" below the palate. A kernel of wheat possesses sixteen nutritive ingredients. Our enterprising mill men remove fifteen of these, in order to sell us a flour that will make something pretty!

She fights Hedge intends to write, referring to the Brooke children as examples of the idle rich. She denounces Hedge and throws Hedge acts as if demented for the next few minutes. He throws all the files into the open container. When he order Constance to tender his resignation to the Economy and Efficiency Corp, and the other her own realignment, he ignores her letter 'affectionably' "now we're ready to take up the other matter Here—where are you going? Not much, sit right where you are—Connie. Don't forget that you are mine 'affectionately.'" Constance sank back and stared at him. As she did so, the wild spok faded from his eyes, and he smiled at her. "Now, Connie," he said, seating himself on the desk and looking down at her, "I'm sorry if I scared you, but it had to be done. I'm not crazy; I've just become sane. I've chopped six years of efficiency out of my life and I'm beginning all over again." She was simultaneously relieved and amazed. "Last night," said H. Hodge, "you turned the lights on on me. I don't blame you. I was still an efficiency engineer. I'm just plain Henry now, and as such I'm entitled to a hearing. I love you." Constance watched him curiously. He was utterly unlike the efficiency man. Somehow, his dark eyes had changed. They were ardent. They carried an appeal that even his voice lacked. "Yes, Connie, I love you. Of course I had to. Everybody has to. I suppose that's one of the things I'll have to put up with after we're married." She gasped and turned pink. "Certainly, after we're married. We're going to be, you know. No; you mustn't run, dear. You must listen a couple of times. I love you. That's three times. I said it; it proves I've cast economy to the winds. Doesn't it? I'll never economize again, especially on that. I love you—I love you." And Constance, for all her bewilderment, could see that H. Hedge meant it. "You see," he went on, "it explains lots of things. It explains why I ordered one young man after another out of the house. I was afraid one of them would really get you. I don't suppose I was giving them a sporting chance. But how could I? I just had to have you. Connie. You can't mind my saying 'Connie, do you?' She made no reply, being a trifle unfortain. "Now, as to the other part of it," he said, "I mean the part about you fooling me and making me believe that you really liked all that efficiency stuff. You did fool me, of course. But before you got 'brough you fooled yourself. Connie.' Constance was, watching him sharply. "Didn't you fool yourself?" "Huh?" she asked unwarrily. "By pretending that I was your enemy and that you hated me, and then winding up by loving me." "I—why—" Her face flamed again. How dare you say I love you?" he answered, of sure it, "he an swerved happily "You—you presume, Mr. Hedgeh." "I do not presume—and my name is Henry. Sometimes I used to be called Harry," he added a little wistfully. "Honestly, Connie, I think you love me." "You think it? You said before—" He made a gesture of despair and laughed. "That just shows you how intixed a man gets when he's in love. But I am sure of it. And you'll be if you'll only stop to consider." Constance Brooke had received proposals before, but never one that carried with it such brazen assurance. "I knew that she ought to put H. and aright without delay—but she did." "I can give any reason for believing so, I admit." he continued rather lamely. "But I just feel it in 1923. 5067 my bones. I just feel—oh. I guess it's a hunch, Connis." He slid down from the table and stood in front of her, his hands out-stretched, as he had the evening before. But this time she did not laugh at him. She felt serious and disquieted. It was like having an utter stranger lay his heart in her hand there was no doubt that the efficiency had vanished. As for the stranger why— "If you don't love me, I think you ought to deny it," he suggested meekly. "I deny—" "Stop" She stopped, and was annoyed when she became aware of it. "I deny—" He reached over and placed his hand across her lips. "Don't dear," he pleaded. She pushed the hand away, but did not finish the sentence. Instead, she rose from the chair and started toward the hallway. Then she changed her course, for no conscious reason, and went over to one of the windows, where she stood with her back to the im. H. Hedge followed. The running uncertainty went out of his eyes and beamed at the back of her head. He looked brightly by the *shoulders* and turned her around. "Let's quit fooling," he said. "So—so you've been fooling, then." she murmured. "Then I—" The rest of the sentence was smothered as H. Hedge stood there with Constance in his arms, his heart pounding a hundred beats to the minute. He did not dare speak. Constance did not try; it was too—amazing. After several minutes, he ventured I a pleading appeal. "I don't know whether I can't straight yet," he said. "I suppose I'm due for another bungle. But I've kissed the top of your head so often that I just wondered if you'd let me—" She lifted her head—and let him. "I don't deserve this," he said humbly after an interval. "I don't think I do, either—after the way you treated me," she answered faintly. "I—I think I must be crazy." "Why?" "For loving you." "Connie!" He held her off at arm's length. "Honestly—do you?" She looked at him in amazement. "H. Hedge, you are insufferable" she exclaimed. "Do you think I let you-kiss me—and ahaost crush me to death—if I didn't love you?" He seized her again, and they began once more, from the point where they had quit fooling. It was Constance who broke the silence finally. "It seems to me," she said, as she ran her fingers lightly, almost curiously, over his hair, "that for a person you have abandoned efficiency, you are still a rather scillable manager. O-ooh! There—didn't I tell you so, dear?" Half an hour later Constance and H. Hedge were gravely wondering how they could ever explain it to anybody. They could not even explain it to themselves. "There's absolutely no sense in it," she said. "Absolutely none," he agreed. "That's impossible to give any good reason." "Impassible." "And yet—well, it's done." "That's the only explainable part of it—it's done. Nobody knows how; not even us." "Yet we've got to tell them, of course." "You bet we have! I'm going to tell everybody, before you change your mind." "No fear, E. E.," she said, gravely. "I told you E. E. was dead—exstinct." "Nevertheless, I'm afraid I'll always call you that—or H. Hedge. I'm to do. You suppose your wife will come!" "What's he got to say about it?" demanded the ex-officiancy man. "I comment, and that's enough. I'm your guardian, you know. I give my official sanction." "But you're too late, my dear. You resigned. And this—this happened afterward." "Than I reinstate myself long enough to express my approval." "No you don't!" warned Constance. "If you reintrain yourself for as much military second I'll break the engagement and want to know any more efficiency Heavens! Wasn't one bad enough?" "I guess I was awful." he admitted. "What—in—blases!" said a voice. "As they turned abruptly, Billy Brooke strode into the room." "Hello, Bill," said Hedge easily. "When did you float in?" "Wha—what's this?" Constance smiled at her brother and linked an arm around one of H. Hedge's. "Connie!" cried Billy. "Why, what's wrong, Billy?" asked the retired efficiency engineer, "Didn't you ever see anything like this?" And he kissed Constance. "Leave my sister alone!" growled Billy menacingly, and this time he plainly meant it. "I don't want him to." said Constance. "And don't you lay a finger on him. Billy boy, because he will break you into little pieces. He can—can't you, E. E." Her eyes kindled with pride at memories of the prewaters of Billy Hedge.

The club is composed of students now enrolled in Meharry Medical College who formerly have attended Union University for at least one semester. Most of the members are students of the school. The meeting was attended by a large number of members of the Club, and much enthusiasm was manifested throughout the meeting. As Union is in the midst of her $300,000 drive, it is the aim of the Club to do its bit in making the drive a success. In the absence of the president, Dr. C J. Waller, who graduated last year, Mr. I. N. Hammonds, the vice- president presided. A few inspiring introductory remarks were made, these being a tentative program for the year and a welcome to the new members. The spee- urged the men to give their support an hundred per cent and make this a banner year for the Club. Following this the house was declared open for the election of officers. The official staff elected was as follows: J. W. Jones, president; I. N. Hammonds, vice-president; A. C. Fentress, secretary; J. A. Jackson corresponding secretary; R. L. Henderson, treasurer; I. Watts, sergeant at arms; W. H. Johnson, parliamentarian; M. H. Adams, chaplain. The now president immediately entered upon his duties. The program was further outlined for the year. Plans were completed to aid Union in a financial way the present year. WITH ADVERTISERS (Continued from Page 1.) give him the high position in the business world that he now occupies.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Dec 24.—The death sentence imposed upon Simon Johnson, of Phillips county, last April for the murder of James Garret, was commuted to life imprisonment Tuesday by Governor Terrill Johnson was to have been electrocuted Friday. Governor Terrill said he had been petitioned by many residents of Phillips county and some of the court officials to commute the sentence. He said the fatal shooting followed a quarrel and that there was considerable evidence in support of Johnson's pleas of self defense. Johnson was convicted in Phillips county last spring and sentenced to be electrocuted. He was kept in jail at Holena during the pendency of an appeal and was never brought to the penitentiary here until after his conviction had been affirmed and a new date set for his electrocution.
