THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA FEB 3 1930 PYTHIAN VICE-SUPREME CHANCELLOR MURDERED BY HIS POLITICAL RIVAL- Volume xlvii No. 12 PYTHI MU ERNEST G. T EVANSVILI HIS OPP PO Evansville, Ind., Jan. 27—(C. N. S.)—Attorney Ernest Tidrington, national known lawyer and politician, was soht to death early Thursday morning, January 23rd, by a disgruntled politician. Tidrington was seated in his automobile with his wife when the fatal shot was fired through his brain from behind with a shotgun at close range. Luther Bell surrendered and said he killed Tidrington because of the latter's political persecution of him. Mr. Tidrington was vice supreme counselor of the Knights of Pythias and grand chancellor of the State organization. He was a member of the Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order of Elks of the World, and was head of the State lodge. Mr. Tidrington was an outstanding figure in Indiana politics. He headed the colored bureau of the Republican State Committee in the 1924, 1925 and 1926 campaign, and was one of three Negro members appointed by President Coolidge in 1925 on an inter-racial commission.

It was most shocking news, last Thursday, when word came that Mrs. Nannie Sacre Carter had been seriously burned by the explosion of a stove and the home burnt to ashes. This happened at Hickory Hill, Va. She succumbed to her injuries on Friday A. M. Probably some of you will know her better as the mother of Emmit Sacre. His children were in the house at the time, but were fortunately saved by Mr. Carter. It is a most pathetic and sad occurrence and any clothes or solicitations to the survivors will be gladly accepted by Mr. and Mrs. Sacre. Even a word of cheer will help them in these sad hours, when a friendly clap of the hand or a word of consolation means so much. The funeral services of Mrs. Carter were held from the Hickory Hill Baptist Church, Sunday, January 26th, at 2 P. M., with Rev. I. A. J. Kennedy officiling. Everything seems to be quiet down in Denmark and the weather has been so bad, that home and at work has been my main dwelling place. On last Tuesday night, Mrs. L. N. Burns entertained the "500 Club" at her residence on 6th St, S. W. Although the weather was inclement, the club members responded in full numbers, and we played 500 like 'twas "nobody's business." Dr. W. B. Dabney was the "dark horse," as he came in rather late and started bidding higher and higher. Even ran Mrs. J. Barbour and myself away from table one after we had been comfortably seated for several hands. Anyway he received the men's club prize, and Mrs. Dabney received the ladies' club prize. Wonder if they talked it over before they left home? The other participants in the game were Missella Banks, Dr. and Mrs. G. F. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Compton Tonsler, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. Aston Barbour, Mr. and Mrs. Earnest Allen, Mrs. Rosa Faggans, Mrs. Constance Ragland and Mrs. Docia Johnson. We were served chicken salad, and olive sandwiches, and hot tea, which was delicious. Mr. and Mrs. Burns made a lovely host and hostess. Oh yeah! The Orange Blossom was timely and enjoyable. The "Whoopee Party" at Miss So and So's house, last Thursday, was all in the word of gaiety. Since I am writing about it I must have been there. R. P. missed the right house and went next door, walked in and made himself at home, until the surroundings caused him to make his departure, but Mrs. B. P. saw that he walked in the right home place after everything was over and R. P. wasn't drinking either. Well the main game consisted of dominoes. R. C. came in with that whoopee laugh that is so familiarly known by. Mr. & Mrs. W. really enjoyed themselves, but Mr & Mrs. J. were somewhat quiet. Miss A. J. stepped out, had plenty rouge on. Mr. and Mrs. B. were the life of the party, as usual, while Mr. M. was rather demure, think he had his eye on a certain young lady that was there. Oh yes, and Madames S. and C. came in together and left together, wonder if their husbands were together also? Mr. and Mrs. B. were there in full and I never sow so many "hot dogs" disappear in all my life. Wonder if we all forgot to eat before we left home? There was a certain very little lady that specialized in the "Breaw-a-way," that nearly put her partner out of RICHMOND; VIRGINIA; SATURDAY; FEBRUARY 1 1930 Second Degree Murder Charged Against Militant Negro Workers. commission for life. And don't think it all ended at 12:30, because it didn't. We made merry until 2 A. M. Maybe it was later than two, because my watch insisted on keeping foreign time that night. In short, it was a grand party. The many friends of Mrs. J. A. Jackson were glad to see her at church Sunday, where she has served so efficiently as clerk. Mr. Augustus Johnson has just received news of the death of his brother in New York City. He has the sympathy of his friends and coworkers. Before signing off, let me say to all the readers of this paper and otherwise, that I shall be glad to send some news in for you each week, if you will let me have the same by Friday of each week. Send in news and buy your paper each week, so the ball can be kept rolling. CROZET, VA. Mrs. Ann Maupin, of Charlottesville, visited Mrs. Mamie Walker last week. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kimbo, of Proffit, visited friends in Crozet. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wood, of Richmond, visited their parents in Crozet Sunday. Miss Emma and Annie Belle Wesley, students of Union University, visited their parents in Crozet. Miss Emma Wesley completed her college course at Union and will remain at home for the present. Don't forget next Sunday is groundhog day. We have had enough bad weather. Gravel Hill Baptist Church Henrico County, Va. Rev. W. L. Tuck, pastor. Sunday school convened at the usual hour. At 11:30 our pastor preached a wonderful sermon, his subject being, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Quite a few were in attendance trying to build up the cause for Jesus. This sermon appealed to us that we should pray for our enemy. At the close of this sermon Pastor Tuck administered unto us the Lord's Supper. At 3 P. M. Pastor Tuck preached a double funeral of Sister Roxie Tyler and her fourteen-month-old baby girl, who departed this life on January 23rd and 24th. At 8 P. M. Rev. J. H. Brown brought a wonderful message, using for his subject, "The Road to the City." We can truly say we had a heavenly feast all day in Zion. My soul praises the Lord. The choir rendered good service under the leadership of Brother W. Trueman. Don't forget prayer service on Wednesday night. Come praying. J. M. A., Reporter.

In the past twenty years attention has been paid only to the progress of the passenger vehicle, while its hardworking brother has been slighted. To remedy this situation, the Reo Motor Car Company this year is sponsoring comprehensive "Progress in Transportation" shows in New York and Chicago, where the great national automobile shows are held. Thirty leading automotive manufacturers are participating in the exhibits, which were planned to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the Speed Wagon. Every conceivable body style and size, designed for hundreds of different special purposes, is on display. With the huge fund of knowledge acquired by research engineers of both chassis and body building companies, it is today practically impossible to present a commercial hauling problem which is incapable of solution. In cases where two distinct mechanical operations are required, separate motive power is provided for each function. Above are shown two of the latest models.

THREE ```markdown ``` Editorial Page Election Laws Under Strutiny One of the contraversial matters that was discussed in the last state campaign was—the simplification of the ballot in Virginia. That, this matter which at times grew bitter between the Democrats and Republicans, has not gone altogether unnoticed, is shown by the fact the Gov. Pollard in his message to the General Assembly, that the state proposed to amend in our voting laws. The general assembly acting on this advice has already under consideration relative to simplifying the ballot in our state. It has always been the contention of the Republican party that the ballot has been too confusing. This has been borne out to some extent, perhaps, by the fact that thousands of ballots are thrown out at each election. It would now seem that the Democratic party is determined, through their leader, Governor Pollard, to investigate this charge, and remedy the situation. Several bills are under consideration, relative to this situation. One would have a voting machine, another would have a method to use a cross mark opposite the party, the voter intended to vote for, signifying his intentions for that party in full. There is also under consideration a bill to require the Republican party to hold a primary the same as the Democratic candidates are required to do. From all of this it would seem that it is a foregone conclusion, that Virginia is to have two parties in the future. Fortunately our group in the Valley have little trouble in getting on the books. And, they hold fair elections here too. Seemingly, our greatest hold-back is to get our people to nav their taxes and register.

TODAY AND TOMORROW BY FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE TODAY AND TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE CORNSTALKS Just as the invasion of the European cornboer has pit up to every farmer in the corn-growing regions the problem of how to get rid of his cornstalks and hold the pest in cheek, new inventions for the utilization of this farm waste for making paper and also a substitute for lumber have been perfected. Now capital in large amount has been subscribed to finance industries which will contract with farmers for their stalks, after harvest, send their own machines into the fields to gather them, and hand them to central points where they will be manufactured into useful products. This will help conserve the forests and will also add, to the profits of the corn growers. GAS The International Red Cross is preparing for the next war.

Mr. Preston is a Lexington man, he is now superintendent of the Roanoke Division for the Southern Aid Insurance Company. Little Dorothy Fielding, the daughter of Mrs. Gertrude Russell Fieldings, was fatally burned at her home on Diamond Hill, Sunday morning January 26th, and died at Jackson Hospital Sunday night. Dorothy was about five years old, an attractive and promising looking child. She seems to have caught fire while trying to get warm, and her clothes became ignited. She ran for help and her mother made every effort possible to extinguish the flame, but not until the child was burned all over did she get the furious fire not wait for the enemy to assemble an army but will try to wipe out a whole city by dropping poison gas from the clouds.

And we call this a civilized world. Anger, fear, worry, especially the latter, kill more people than "real" diseases, according to a report recently made to the New York Acaday of Medicine. There is no such thing as overwork, either of body or mind. The body, given sufficient nourishment, will quit of its own accord when fatigue becomes too great, and a night's sleep will put it back into trink again. Probably no human being has ever used his brain to its full capacity. Men who have studied that subject say that most of us use less than a quarter of our power of thought. But let worry, jealousy, fear of losing one's job, one's money or one's sweetheart, creep in, and the whole picture is changed. The emotional tension tires both mind and body, which cannot go on without violent stimulation, and the process of decay is hastened. Most of the deaths from heart disease and kidney trouble are the result of emotional tension rather than any real defect in the physical organs. With all the talk about the increased average length of human life, the age of seventy still remains the normal limit for the human being. So Dr. Louis Dublin, medical head of one of the great insurance com- KING DAVIDS SHOW REMARKABLE PROGRESS. THE IMPERIAL ORDER OF KING DAVID'S ANNIAL STATE: At the close of 1929 all claims were paid except the claim of James Pettus, whose mother, Mrs. Mamie Pettus Craft, died two years ago, in February. She was a member of Star Hope Lodge No. 112. Prince Edward County, Virginia. We have advertised for him four times, but he has not been found. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Mr. James Pettus will please notify him that the Imperial Order of King David is still holding $100.00 for him, the death claim of his mother. Every death claim was paid promptly, some within 24 hours after notification. The Imperial Order of King David lost during the past year 93 members. Total amount paid $8,825.00. We have added to the Order 1,278 new members. We have a balance to our credit in the various banks of Richmond over $19,000.00 We take this opportunity to thank all of our members, co-workers, and deputies, whose names are too numerous to mention, for their faithful work and loyal support, and pray that God's riches blessings will rest upon them.

Only exceptional individuals live beyond 70, and in America the proportion who die between 65 and 70 is increasing. Yet the average American lives longer than those of his father's genera did, much longer than in his grandfather's time. That is because it a illness which used to kill off babies, children and young people of both sexes are not so prevalent as formerly. Every American baby born today has a reasonable chance of living to 55, which is the average length of life in this country, as against 43 in most of Europe. But the man who reaches 50 cannot count on more than fifteen years more of life with any degree of certainty, and the chances are that he will pass on in ten years.

IN MEMORIAM It is a concensus of opinion here that something is dogmatically wrong with the colored group in Rich mond; noted particularly when an attempt is made to get unanimity of action for proposed social, economic or community movements. It is also noted that there seems to be too much division in thought, as well as in action. We make this our concern for this week because we consider it of prime importance. Let us give some attention to the historical background for this division or lack of cooperation. Subsequent to the War Between the States, the Negroes of Richmond developed more rapidly in education and business than Negroes in many parts of the South and their rapid rise in the cultural and bvsiness world was a wonder of that day: When there were only 10 colored banks in the United States, we had four in Richmond, and our cultural life was the model for other sections. The pioneer work done in the old Richmond High and Normal School was largely responsible for this. Our large uneducated majority naturally allied itself to the few educated leaders and soon found itself divided into several camps, with two main groups which grew in power. A natural antipathy developed between these groups and all of our community efforts became partisan. Although the original Richmond Negro is almost extinct here, a good bit of this jealousy has seeped through into this generation and this is primarily what we see today in our lack of cooperation. Another unfortunate thing happened. We lost a large number of the second and subsequent generations that graduated from the old high school: They went to New York. Philadelphia and other Northern cities and in their places we received thousands of Southerners, who had not had the advantages we enjoyed. Richmond's cultured group failed to encourage contact with these Southerners and denied them a splendid opportunity to imbibe our spirit, and this created a group hostile to native Richmonders These conditions are being gradually remedied. The educational institutions here are moulding this heterogeneous group of ours into one in culture and habits and points of view. In time this will give us a citizenry which will know how to cooperate: In the meantime, the greatest need of the present is a loud-speaker to amplify the voices of our leaders If the populace could hear plainly the voice of our leadership, they could more readily respond. There is enough profundity of thought and calibre of ability in the leadership here to accomplish the task of placing Richmond in the forefront of colored communities in America, if we only had a journal of sufficient power to command and rally the folk in big majorities. Our alliment of non-cooperation is caused largely by the lack of a sufficient mouthpiece. The Planet is committed to the task of giving Richmond a loudspeaker to be used by any and all interests for the forward march that we believe in ours for the future Glen Wilton In loving memory of our dear and brother, Lloyd R.

TAU CHAPTER OF SIGMA GAM MA RHO SORORITY ESTABLISHED Strolling to Chapel one beautiful November day, when Nature, herself, was in full bloom and prosperity was in the air everywhere, a member of the Junior Class saw that something was missing on the campus of Virginia Union University. It was not long before she discovered that it was the need of a chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho. This Junior was none other than Miss Thela Woolfolk, formerly a student at Wilberforce, and a member of Kappa Chapter of this sorority. She at once expressed the need and also her desire for a chapter here to the authorities, which met their approval. This sorority was incorporated December 4, 1922. Within seven years this sorority has made leaks and bouds. This sorority has the same standards and is on par with all other collegiate sororities. Having met the approval of the members of the faculty, Miss Woolfolk began at once to selec her girls. In order to secure a co-operative group it was necessary for her to consider all types of personality. Thirteen types were chosen as character members of this chapter. They were: Mary B., Price, Misses Lovia Goochil, Irma V. Harris, who were undoubtedly chosen because of their facial air, Antiope Hamilton, Charlotte Wade, Marie Johnson and Mamie Brown, because of their serious attitudes, Violet Bailey and Milled Lee, because of their vocal ability, Ruth Robinson and Alice Scott, because of their charming dispositions. These girls were brought into the myatic folds of the Greek world by Sorrows Thalma Woolfolk and Nellie Lee at dawn. January 25 1930. After initiation, the sorority was honored by breakfast at 5:30, in the house of Mrs. Matilda Hamilton, mother of Soror Hamilton. The following night the sorority gave a closed affair, at the home of Mr. and M. A. D. Price, Jr. A light, soft skin makes you ATTRACTIVE If you want to be popular—keep your complexion soft and light.

Every chef cook in the city is a member of this organization, so nothing was left unturned. The pastors of the various churches were guest and are Honorary members also, the school faculty were also among the guest, as were many other citizens of the city. Dr. E. Dickerson acted as toast-master and played the part as Graham McNamee does for the National Broadcasting Company. Interesting talks were made along civic lines, Rev G. A. Newman, interestingly talked on several subjects and enclosed his speech with the words, "Guar dyour gateway," which mans much to any organization. Talks were made by Prof. W. N. P. Harris, of Edinger School, Revs. E. W. Hollands, A. B. Lee, J. H. Davis and C. O. Gaines. P. S. Mitchell, counsellor advisor of the club, spoke very forcefully or many important issues, Percy R Wells, president of the club, stated in his remarks that the banquet was not held merely to say we had a banquet, but was to exchange ideas probably awaken us to the fact that one doors of opportunity are slowly but surely closing on us and something must be done to rectify this condition, that while we are sitting here the state legislature is debating on bills aimed directly at us, one is a barber shop bill, which, if passed as the author has it, will put every colored shop out of existence, that caters to white trade, in ten years. The other is the annual integrity bill to inform us that we will be black in 1939 as we were in 1929, this bill comes up annually. He also stated that the ballot can be used as a good remedy to help conditions if properly put to use. He spoke of our secret organizations which were at one time W. I.

MAIN STREET RICHMOND VIRGINIA --- --- one of our strongest assets, but the leaders of our National organizations have and are playing us so unfair, that it is only a matter of time, in fact, "the hand writing is on the wall for Negro, secret organizations," while this is a broad assertion, it seems almost a reality. The ladies organization. The Frogs, were out in a body and many of them spoke on things of interest. The Blue Circle Club has been very active in civic work and are recognized as a civic organization by the city officials and white civic organizations of Hanssburg, and are doing much good work for the better- The music was led by Miss Elise Walke, of the Effinger School. The program opened wit hthe Negro national anthem and closed with America. Invocation was asked by Rev A. B. Lee, of the Baptist Church Committee on arrangements were H. W. Sellers, J. W. Johnson, Frank Mitchell, J. E. Black, Robt. Strother, L. McCarthy, Dennis Bunday and George Francis. WAYNESBOR NEWS Mrs. Nancy Louise Brock, probably the oldest person of Waynesboro, died on the 21st, after an illness of six weeks. The funeral service took place at the Pleasant View M. E. Church. She was a member of the Monumental A. M. E. Church, and her pastor, Rev. R. T. Watkins, assisted by Rev. G. W. Stewart, Rev. J. H. Holland, and Rev. E. D. Wilson, officiated. A very appreciative audience witnessed the ceremony. The remains were deposited in the church. She leaves here, two very loving granddaughters, Misses Beulah and Louise Brown, whom she raised, and whom ever stood by her, and played the part of real grandchildren. Mr. John Brown, a son-in-law, of Mrs. Brock, residing in Elizabeth, N. J., arrived here to witness the funeral and burial. The remains were laid to rest in the Riverside Cemetery, Mr. Holmer Alexander, fun- eral director, in charge. The Union Revival closed at the Stewart, pastor, on the 24th. It was Union Baptist Church, Rev, G. W. decided on that night, that the revival would not be stopped, but will be held another week, at the Pleasant View M. E. Church, Rev, J. H. Holland, pastor, this week. It will close out wit hite first week in February, at the Monumental A. M. E. Church, Rev, R. T. Watkin, pastor. Service at Shilo on Sunday last, were exe.nt. At 11 A. M., the pastor, Dr. C. H. Harris, preached from Matt, 18-26. At 7:30, from Amos, 4:12. Contumion followed. The Non Such Club was entertained at the home of Rev. E. D. Wilson, on the 2-st. The meeting was a success. Mr. Moses Crawford, Mr. George Vest, Mrs. Douglas Crawford, and Mrs. Virginia Crawford, of Nelly Ford, made several trips here to see Dr. P. A. Hilton last week. Mr. John W. West drove their car. The Rose of Sharon Club entertained at the home of its president, Mrs. W. G. Stewart, on the 23rd. Many of these various clubs formerly met in the Shilo Baptist Church, but are now meeting in various homes. Mrs. Mary Lewis was stricken with paralysis on the 24th, so far it seems to have been very slight. We hope this will prove true. Rev. E. D. Wilson and Rev. R. L. Stewart were out of town, at their respective charges, on Sunday, last. The former at Wrightsville, and the latter at Christian. Dr. F. P. Diggs served at the Beeley Minor Baptist Church, Brand, on Sunday last. Rev. W. P. Essed preached at 7:30 P. M., at the Pleasant View M. E. Church, on the 26th. An appreciative audience was present. A man being chased by the officers Sunday evening, at service time, escaped to the Shilo Baptist Church, and found refuge there. 10 Way of Life BY BRUCE BARTON When a boy knows more than his father. Ours would have been a very different history if Lincoln, age sixteen or so, had been guided by the wisdom of Lincoln, age thirty-six." "Now, Abe," we can imagine him saying, "don't waste time readin' them books. Readin' never done me any good, and what was good enough for me's good enough for you." Lincoln knew more than his father. It was a divine disobedience that led him to close his ears to the man who had brought him into the world, and open his heart to the vision that was to help him conquer the world. The boy who has not some firm conviction and a willingness to defend them, even against the arguments of those older than himself, is not likely to amount to much. But there must be convictions, not mere prejudices, not selfish impulses or passions. I know two men who "knew more" than their fathers. One boy is the office manager of a large manufacturing concern, and his salary is $40 a week. "Better go on in school," said his father to him when he was seventeen years old. "Better go to college: better get all the education you can while you have the chance." But the boy quit school and went to work. "You see that man?" said the president of his concern to me the other day. "There is a man who might have become general manager of this business if he had had a college education. His salary might have been $20,000 a year: instead it's $2,000. He's reached his limit. What a shame! He hasn't education enough to go on." He "knew more" than his father. And his boy acy is costing him $18,000 a year. "Keep yourself clean, my son," said the father of another boy. "You'll never regret it. And some day you'll thank heaven you did." But the boy knew more than his father. He knew that every young man who is worth his salt must sow his wild cats. So he sowed right merrily. I saw him the other day. He came to me about getting a job. I could not give him a job: no man could. God knows what will become of him. YOUTH is the mainspring of the world.

NEW BOON TO BABY-CHICKS IS FOUND IN ANCIENT MILK-FOOD 4 ```markdown ``` A chemical product which is expected to revolutionize theories of nutrition in poultry and animals has been derived from the most ancient of all foods, milk, according to an announcement recently made by F. H. Clicker, Professor of Nutritional Research of Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N. J., in the department located at Newark, and special research chemist for the Kraft-Phenix Corporation, Chicago. The chemical derivative which Prof. Clicker has evolved after several years of experiment is the powder of whey, named "Kraco" in honor of the Kraft-Phenix Corporation, on whose foundation experiments have been made over a period of years at Rutgers University, and in laboratory and field tests throughout the United States. Prof. Clicker's experiments in the There are always feature of startling interest in the ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION, which comes weekly with this newspaper.

The commercial loss of millions of chicks caused annually by these diseases can probably be reduced to a minimum by the use of his new milk-derivative. Dr. Clickner's report states Dr. Clickner summarizes his formula for "Kraco" as containing all the soluble minerals of milk particularly phosphorus, and a record high percentage of milk-lactose—seventy-five per cent. Heretofore 50% has been considered by scientists the maximum milk-sugar content obtainable from milk-derivatives. GUNMAN'S BLUFF Master Mystery Writer Edgar Wallace, most prolific of all authors, who has written nearly a hundred detective stories and whose latest, "Gunman's Bluff," will appear serially in this paper. Mr. Wallace has lately visited America. GUNMAN'S BLUFF BY Edgar Wallace COPYRIGHT BY EDGAR WALLACE Most Accurate Typist Miss Liberda Claing of Springfield, Mass., who is a student at Boston University, wrote 20 words a minute for fifteen minutes, a total of more than 1,000 words without a single erger. The content of the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5, 6, 7 will be more familiar after these three lessons therein. This time the entire seventh chapter should be read with care, or better still, commit it to memory. This lesson is the quarterly one on Temperance and the text is finally adapted to that application. This subject is one of the most popular ones of the day. The newspapers have some outstanding reference in almost every issue. There is need for citizens of the Abraham Lincoln type to work out the national problem, for this nation cannot exist half wet and half dry any more than it could advance being half slate and half free. The Golden Rule, verse 12, is possible of the most extensive application and surely has a direct import to the question of selling alcoholic liquor to others. The bootlegger would resent it if he was done by as he seeks so persistently to "do" others. Amos R. Wells says, "The Eighteenth Amendment is simply the Golden Rule put into our national constitution." There is one word in this verse 12 that needs particular attention. It is the "therefore." Because God is so good to us always we should invariably seek to treat others up to our utmost ability. A negative statement, such as can be found in the writings of Confucius, is not good enough. Neither is negative religion. Now is the time for those who believe in righteousness to be positive in the defence of truth which will be a blessing to mankind. The lies of those who are eager to evade the Constitution and the enforcement acts are akin to the false prophets and those who appear in sheep's clothing. They are wolves indeed, and for personal gain will undermine life itself. Right now youth seems to be the target for attack. It is the adult simmer who helps forward hip-to-steep on the part of your men, who in turn dare the girls to portake. The declaration of Jesus is most testing: "By their fruits ye shall know them." By this determination reach your conclusions about any alcoholic beverage. Keep in mind that alcohol is a POISON and the reaction is always the same. A good character or worthy conduct can never be built up by the use of intoxicating drink. The very onsite begins to result with the first glass. Life insurance statutes shorten sufficient evidence for any one to be in danger of death and conduct. The records of courts and society are full of accounts of destruction so nothing that deals with permanent construction as a result of using liquor as a beverage. Big business is beginning to understand about the "fruits" and is now demanding sobriety. The closing parable has reference to the entire content of the Sermon on the Mount as well as to the theme in hand. The two houses may at first have looked equally well. First came the gradual wearing away and lessing of foundational strength by the stress of years. Then the awful storm broke and it was that force which brought complete destruction after the long-continued weakening process. Both physically and morally we must be able to withstand the long-time wear and tear, as well as the emergency when the blow may come so unexpectedly. There is a rock foundation that will stand any stress and upon which we can build our life structure. That sure Foundation is Jesus Christ and His teachers. He did not deal with affairs in the abstract but in vital life problems that still face us as individuals.

Vacation Ca As Leisure Vacation Camps L As Leisure Become Vacation Camps Lure Rural Women As Leisure Becomes New Farm "Crop" THE FARMER'S WORK Many thousands of farm housewives all over the United States will gather next summer in vacation camps. Leisure is a new crop on the farm. Women have learned how to have spare time for themselves and vacation camps have gained popularity so fast that six were required for 5,000 farm women last summer in Idaho alone. Practically every other state had one or more, where farmers wives mothers and daughters got together for rest, recreation and interchange of helpful ideas. "The makers are learning so many ways to gain leisure that it now is easy to show their husbands how the house can run a few days without mother," said the household research bureau, Peoria, Ill. conducted by the makers of ABC washers. --- ```markdown ``` Predicts World Peace Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, a leader of the long struggle for nine rights, as she preached on the Conference on the Cause and Cure of War at Washington, predicted the end of all warfare within a century. ps Lure Rural Women comes New Farm "Crop" ```markdown ``` "Some farm women in Oklahoma wash cream separators in one-third the time used by others.

GUN Third Installment SYNOPSIS Margaret Leffere's brother, Rex, has been found dead with a note addressed to his sister stating that he has been ruined by investments recoupable from the fire. Mr. Leffere is engaged, Danny Morrell, a rather show character, informs Maddison that Rex had called for 18,000 pounds bearing Luke's signature. Detective Bird, known as "The Sparrow," although his signature was served to the chuck, Maddison does not know of the dead man's acquaintance who was a friend of the love for 18,000 pounds to him that the decision to keep his promise to marry St. Stephen is desperately poor and Maddison is in the background of life events in the figure, shadowy, of Gunner Mayer, a former American cook, who had endured Maddison and an apprentice apprentice, upon the count. She stood there, her hands gripped, her breath coming quickly and more quickly, and heard him override the protests which came from the other cus on the wire. Presently he hung up the phone and turned to her, a smile or rumple on his flushed face. You are Madison's. He said grim, stale, stock, and burrel, darling of what old bird calls a child of oil." Then she could realize that he was speaking prophetically. "Do you want to see a man named Leving? Stiles asked Maddison. "Leving? Who is he?" From Mr. Stiles' expression of disgagement he gathered that Leving was not of any great account. "Show him sir." The man who followed Stiles into the room was tall and spare of build. He neeo-set eyes had in them a furry that was almost animal. He glanced quickly around the room, and it almost seemed to Luke that he was protesting every article within view against them night when he might enter and take him as his movables as would show him a profit. "Morning," slt. He held his head downwards and sideways, looking up from under his heavy and untidy eyebrows. "Like to speak to you private, sir," he said in his husky voice. Like glanced at the manager and signalled him to leave the room. Mr. Stiles left with the greatest reluctance. "Sit down, will you?" Not taking his eyes from Luke's face the visitor stretched out a hand and drew a chair to him. "Luke sat down. The Gunner's got three moon for bein pressed. He said in a low voice "The Sparrer spoke in the three moon. The Gunner's appeal' to the sons." Luke nodded. "He has got three months' hard labor and is appealing? I hope he gets off. Did he send you to me?" Lewing nodded slowly. He had the appearance of a man who was lying and expected to be found out at any moment. "Yes. A few quid would do him a bit of good. He wants a mouthpiece. The Sparrer says he'll get off—an' the Sparrer knows." "Who is the Sparrow?" A slow smile dawned on Mr. Lewing's face. "He's a busy—a detective. Bird by name—" Luke nodded. He remembered Mr. Sparrow, whose activities were apparently not wholly confined to inquests. "I was inside meself—for breakin' an' enterin'," confided Lewing, "but they couldn't prove nothin' so I got out. But me an' the Gunner's like brothers. He was in the next cell to me at Brixton an' he told me to pop an' have a talk with you—a tew quid would help him." Luke was puzzled. His acquaintance with the redoubleable gunman who called himself Haynes was a slight one, but it had struck him, during their brief interview in the Carlton, that the Gunner had the manners and certainly the vocabulary of a gentleman and that this mean sneak-thief who was looking at him stealthily from the other side of the table was hardly the type of man in whom the Gunner would confide his commissions. Luke felt in his pocket and took out a few pound notes. "I suppose you know Mr. Bird very well?" he asked as he counted the money. The man grinned. "The Sparrer? I should say so. He's always goin' on about the children of the poor—but he's always lagging' gun' em! He pretends there a lgt of poor people who are sufficin' because of the likes of—" he was about to say "me" but changed his mind—of fellers who go on the crook. That's silly. If you can't do work you got to do something; you can't starve. The last time the Sparrer talked talkin' to me about it I says; 'Look here, Mr. Bird, why don't you go after the children of the rich an' make 'em pay their whaek to these children of the poor?' He couldn't answer me. He was dumb-founded. I'm always beatin' people in arguments." He seemed rather proud of this accomplishment; was not without his vanities, even. He had to lie about his trimmings. THE WEDDING With a shudder, she felt the riaz slip upon her finger your friend. I can't help him much more. I'd like to know what happens to him, and he can write to me here. At two o'clock Margaret Latterre stepped from her car at the door of the Marbleybone registrar's office, and Luke, waiting in the room of that union, ignored to greet the palest bride that had ever entered those commonplace portals. She spoke not at all, only answered the questions that were put to her. With a shudder she felt the ring slip upon her fingers. It was all over so quickly that she With a shudder, she felt th could not believe that the first act of her venescence was played. Somebody put a pen into her hand, and a son aforet finger showed her the place where she must sign her name. For a long time she held the pen and when she wrote it wavered in her fingers and the scrawled signature looked like nothing she had ever seen. Leaving for Paris that night—the Meurice, or was it the Bristol? There was some confusion in her mind about these details; anyway, they did not matter if she hered courage. The two o'clock wedding had been an inspiration. She went back to her house—Luke was coming to dinner; they were to leave immediately after to catch the night boat from Southampton. Luke voice was tremulous. They were alone in her pretty little drawing room, and he was sitting by her side, his arm around her. She was very still and unyielding, but he thought that he understood this. Luke was bubbling over with excitement—he was like a boy who had received a new and wonderful present. "I say, did you see that queer-looking man standing on the pavement as we came out? A fellow named Lewing—a thief of some kind. I wonder if he came to pick pockets? I'll bet he did; touched his hat to me as I came out." She was not listening, and, after he had gone, could remember nothing that he had said except something about Rex. It was indecent to him to mention the boy. Danny rang her up, but she would not see or receive him. She must go through now without help. Luke was coming at seven. At six she called him on the telephone, and had one panicky moment when she cared that he had already left his flat and could not be found. Then she heard his voice. "Darling, isn't it odd? I can't believe it. I still think of myself as a crusty old bachelor—" "Luke, I want you to do something for me. She found her voice at last. "No—no, don't interrupt. It's a big thing. I don't want to go away tonight, not for a day or two. I want to be alone, not to see you. My nerves are in a terrible state; I think I am on the verge of a breakdown." As she went on, he listened with a growing sense of alarm and dismay. And yet he was not thinking of himself. "I've been a selfish brute. Of course, darling. I quite understand." The conversation did not occupy five minutes of time; he could hardly realize what was happening, to what he was agreeing, before he was sitting at his writing table staring blankly at the telegraph forms by which he was to cancel so many pleasant arrangements. Danty, waiting at Waterloo Station with a full view of the barrier, watched the mail-boat passengers filter through to the platform. He saw the barrier close and the red tail lights of the train disappear into the darkness, and went home humming a little song, for Mr. and Mrs. Luke Maddison were not among the passengers. * * * Luke did not even trouble to see Margaret at once. Before lunch he remembered and telephoned. "I want to see you, darling," he began. "Why? It was difficult to disguise the suspicion she felt. "I want you to sign a little document," he said gaily. So that was it! Danty had warned her. Only she had never dreamed that she would be asked to renounce her marriage portion so soon. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page able! "A document?" "I want you to transfer some money to me," he said. "It is the merest formality—I've discovered that I have rather less than I need." She thought quickly. "Very well, come to the house at three o'clock." He forgot that the bank closed at three-thirty and agreed. After all, it did not greatly matter if the check was returned. It was merely a trans- the ring slip upon her finger. He was, true to his methods, five minutes late, when he was shown into her little sitting room. The first thing that struck him was that she was dressed. He had pictured her resting in her negligee—in bed even. She was not as pale as she had been. It when he went to take her in the room that he had his first shock. "Don't kiss me—please!" It was not a request; it was a percussion command. "Why—what is wrong, darling?" She shook her head impatiently. "Please tell me what you want." Her tone turned him cold. It was hard, almost antique. He could hardly believe the evidence of his senses. Stammering like a school. "He told her in disjointed sentences of the situation which had arisen, and she listened and did not speak until he stopped. "Ninety-seven thousand pounds," she said. "A tenth of that would have saved Rex." He could only snare at her uncomprehendingly. "It was rather dreadful to see a man make a god of money, Luke, and to know that for its sake he is willing to sacrifice even a young life." To him her voice sounded like the clang of a bell; to herself it hardly seemed that it was she who was speaking. "And to accuse this poor dead boy of forgery—to add that infamy to the other" "I—you are speaking of me?" he said in a whisper. "Of you. I knew that you were coming to get your money back—that is why I did not go with you to France. I wanted it to happen here. Here, where I have friends and can meet you on even terms." A pause, and then: "Luke, I am giving you no money. You gave it to me—it is mine. Not a penny can you have—not a penny." She wishes she would speak to him. She would that he would swish his wished he would rave, curse her, do all the things that were consistent with her picture of him. But he said nothing. He was not even looking at her, but was studying the pattern of the carpet. Presently he jerked up his head. "Good-have," he said, and turned on "Good-bye," he said, and turned on his heel. She heard the door close on him, and then there came to her a realization that made her brain reel. She loved him. Why he gravitated to the Embankment he could never tell; it seemed a natural objective. He had no thought of suicide, no intention of finding that gross way to forgetfulness. Walking slowly by the parapet, he came to a halt before Scotland. Yard and eyed that Gothic building incuriously. That big detective was there, the Sparrow—the Sparrow, who righted so many could hardly disentangle the problem which deceived Luke Maddison. The "children of the poor!" He smiled mirtlessly. He was one of the children of the poor, the natural charge of that big man. To protect the children of the poor and punish the wrongdoer. Who had done wrong? Margaret? He tried hard to apportion all blame to her, to hate her. He shook his head and walked slowly back toward Blackfriars.

Pure Herb Medicine Richmond, My Medicine manently re The Virginia Union University presents Justin Sandridge, the celebrated pianist, with the great Virginia Union University choir of one hundred voices, Wednesday evening, February 5th, at Fifth Street Baptist Church. Justin Sandridge is a truly great artist. To adequately describe the perfection of his playing is an almost unsurmountable task. That he will be awarded a place among the finest pianists of all time is the opinion of critics who have heard him. Sandridge, an American product, was born in Boston and received all his musical training there under master instructors. He made his debut two seasons ago as guest soloist with the great Boston Philharmonic Orchestra of 100 men before an audience of 8,000. Mr. Sandridge opened his 1929-30 tour in Washington, D. C. He played in the great music halls of Pittsburgh and other large cities to great audiences—prolonged applause characterized his every appearance. The Union University choir of one hundred voices—the heart-searching beauty of their singing and the measured emotion with which it is charged fulfills the perfect aim of art, which is to excite and then to satisfy. Infinitely touching is the music from this great body of voices, which seems to come out from eternity rather than from human throats. Its rhythm, its exaltation, its sensuous loveliness thrill the ear.

In_ this small town Mrs. Andrews, sister of the employer of Mose Morton, resided in the winter months. In fact, the experience was so unusual that Mose had stepped, al- most before he realized it, in- to the spotlight of the state. ‘All eyes are on him, and no ‘doubt, before another month has passed, Mose will in some way be rewarded for his faithful services. It is known that the employer, Tom Waite, is now planning to surprise his brave employee with a nice sum of money. For not only did he save the fortune in diamonds that were left in his hands, but he was instrumental in captur- QI RUSEI FEELS HRI I Da aT PEAS RR ASS 8 Cat ee ee ee See lh. eee A it ZB , aM | Za (Bp ay BA ee nesses mat SERAAE Ran: 2h, My nina no NN VE: Esrasace| = OB SK y Jeg EC) feel Yt.

That night when Mr. Waite took his departure from the house, bound for a country dance, he said to Mose: “Tf any suspicious characters ap- pear here, shoot, and shoot to kill.” Mose nodded his head, manifesting that he would obey instructions. And he did not hesitate to do it when the occasion came up a short while later. Just how Mr. Waite happened to leave the diamonds in care of his employee is uncertain, but it is es- tablished that Waite is a jewelry salesman who sometimes takes his valuables home with him over the week-end. Be that as it may, he was visiting his sister in the big brick house, with a fountain in the yard, flowers, summer houses, tennis courts, and everything. And Waite had all the jewelry he carried on his selling trips, in his possession. Sometimes Waite had to take back defective gems that his customers had sold only. to have brought back, and besides these, he usually car- ried a fine display of samples. At any rate, on this particular night, he had something like thirty thousand dollars in diamonds which he gave to Mose to look after. Mose didn’t step into Waite’s con- fidence over night. He had been working in the family for a long number of years. Mrs. Andrews had testified that he was absolutely honest. Moreover, she had often spoken to her brother about Mose. She felt safe living alone there in that big house, with this venerable colored lad: to look after her. She believed that if the occasion present- ed itself, Mose would make the su- preme sacrifice for her rey. Mose knew he was in the favor of Mrs. Andrews, and this, of course, put him in the respect of all the help in the house. Everyone had im- plicit confidence in Mose. But Mose was going away. Mrs. Andrews was to be gone South for approximately three months, during which time the big house at Egypt Mills would be closed. In the mean- while Mose was to be with Tom Waite, and he was packing his things to leave with his new em- ployer the next morning when Waite stepped unobtrusively into his room with a black traveling bag in his hand. “Mose,” he said quietly, “there's a fortune in diamonds in this grip, and I’m going to leave it with you to guard. Also, I’m going to give you an automatic pistol. Can you handle one?” >. Mose was not excited, although he could not help but realize the weight of the responsibility that had been placed on his shoulders. Poe “T never did use one much, sir.” he confessed stoutly. “But I can certainly try.” Waite handed him the gun. “This bag is in your care. Guard it with your life. Don’t let it out of your sight for a single moment. And—if any suspicious characters loom up around here, shoot to kill.” The words ‘vent whirling through a Ze yo ZB EN Ba tee? f ——oe yy 9) io, SSE EMM 2 Se = S m = cae Blu j betes / Zeb ey) EL | es = SV Ee, == After the famous Jeffries fight, Johnson, his wife, then the former Etta Duryea, sailed for London and Paris. In Paris there were insistent demands for Jack’s appearance at music halls and other houses of amusement. At these places he often made short speeches, Mose’s head. “Shoot to kill.” It meant considerable to kill somebody. A human life was something that couldn't be given back. ‘The gun felt heavy in: his hand. ‘Sure enough, he had the bag of dia- monds. It contained a fortune in diamonds. And he had been instruct- ed to guard it at the expense of hu- ‘man life. He heard the roar of a motor out- side, knew the folks were leaving, heard the car thud its way down ‘the gravel path. The sounds became uae’ by distance, and eventually died out completely. Nasty job, he had. But the orders he had received had come from the man he respect- ed and worked for. | Mose felt that he was duty bound. ‘They might do anything to him, but ‘as long as he lived, they couldn't take that bag- of diamonds from him. He determined to die before anything of that sort could happen. Mose was alone in the house. All the other help had gone to the dance. The house was still. Not a sound. Nothing to be heard, save the whisper of the wind, and the creak of a board blown back and forth. Mose remembered having nailed this strip above the garage door that morning, to stop up a ‘crack through which snow sometimes fell. He carried the black suitcase with ‘him, There was an enormous fireplace ‘made of crude stone, and a large log in the grate, burning cheerfully. Here Mose stood, with the mantel of the fireplace being above his head, holding the gun in his hand. He ‘set. the grip down at his feet. He waited. He didn’t know for what. But he felt a premonition tha} he ‘was waiting for something. He had, in other words, one of those nerye- racking presentiments, : ‘Hours passed swiftly until, sud- denly, he heard a sound at the front ‘door. It was shoved open. It slam- ‘med back against the wall. A pic- ture was jarred off, clattered to the floor, broken in many pieces. A ‘strong draft of cold air swept ‘through the red walled room. Then ee the sound of slithering feet. Mose knew somebody was approach- ing. him. He whirled about. His re- volver was ready for instant action. Mose cursed himself for leaving that door unlocked. However, it was the ‘custom of this community to leave the front door unlocked. “Stop!” Mose shouted the command to halt. But the dark bulk continued eo advance toward him, drawing nearer and nearer. Then, without ‘waiting, Mose fired twice. The first bullet cut the robed figure to his ‘knees, the second cut him to the floor, but while he was on his knees, ‘the man in the black robe fired one shot at his opponent, sending him ‘staggering into the enormous grate. When Mose fell into the grate he burned his hands. His clothes caught on fire. The black bag was scorched, for Mose had picked it up before firing a shot. But he managed to remove himself from the flames, RARARRR RRA VIR RR RS aK I SI CH WS BIL oS RS ES ot I RE Bh ea LZzzz= ral SS = = Zee | a SS 2 2a av AZ ||\ aja 22> i a=] |= Tl I\ ii] lea SS = = — Aap = Bil olay WANN 2 AT = ee en i ivan FSi ann] eh] ea cs mae SON ewe eR RR AIA ws RWS Gs rongn 4 g pha ARAN gpg oon ye | ps SNL grpeltag yt — SA el So oe al hg ie LSA Ke | A a ISG i f WA Wa MIN tS se libe Aa ~ MAIO AW OS Ath oN Wie | iif Pde so ANU LANE N\M HAN BE INA ed A YP ite Raps di) 2 i VS" Ke LP) pms 2 aie Nee Le Nee at sigan NN oe male NC ee ae te sf NK Lee | |) Oger in) 5 t Vi WIRY IN ANN ae S| aed OG Un atc IN IW py ———— Ce Ht eo, Se as ip tad Veer MN een Ce ae ae = In’ Johnson, When he went to London, the Coronation Jacx soon returned to Chicago and opt ea, sailed of King George was in progress, but despite an elaborate night club.

When Wentworth recovered irom his trancelike absorption the house was applauding; the large Negro chorus was taking a curtain call. The demands of the audience became deafening. Lissa’s great hour! She advanced to the footlights and bow- ed. Now, in the full light she was plainly visible for the first time, a mulatto, a little above medium height, and of superb proportions. Went- worth noticed that she wore no make- up except a slight darkening of the lips that made them seem fuller, more deliberately Nesroid. This struck him as significant. From the light bronze of her face her eyes looked out, large, expressive, and extraordi- narily_brilliant—Mamba’s eyes — yes, and Hagar’s. Now, for the first time, he noticed that she appeared self- conscious, anxious to be away. She bowed for the second time, and with- out waiting for the curtain, withdrew among the chorus. But the audience would not let it rest at that. They got to their feet and cheered. They kept the clamour going with a sort of mad persistence. After five minutes of it the curtain was seen to move, rising slowly on a Jacx soon returned to Chicago and opened an elaborate night club. It was krown as the Cabaret de Champion.

The trace of embarrassed self-conscious- ness was gone. She seemed detached, oblivious of both herself and her au- dience. The conductor rose and look- ed upto her for his cue. Apparent- ly she did not see him, for she gave no sign. Instead she stopped where she was just out of the wings, and unaccompanied commenced to sing the National Anthem of the American Negre. Apparently most of the audience had never heard of it. Wentworth never had. From the first note he was aware df an absolutely new sensation. Against his perception beat the words of James Weldon Johnson's inspiring poem swept forward in the marching rhythm of Rosamond Johnson's music: “Litt eyery volce and sing Till eatth and heayen ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty: Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea, Sing a song full of faith that the dark past has taught ws, _ Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us: Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on til, victory fs won.” (Continued on page two) t, Myce a 5 led q } A\\ Ais i \N IS ae MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS DU BOSE HEYWARD By BEWARE THE COUGH FROM COLDS THAT HANG ON CREOMULSION FOR THE COUGH FROM COLDS THAT HANG ON Now you can be pretty..for pretty hair makes pretty girls NELSON'S HAIRDRESSING makes Hair Pretty because it keeps it in place, permitting the most becoming styles of hair-dress, and a neat appearance at all times.

HOW ECZEMA IS CONQUERED You can banish every trace of annoying Eczema and banish it in an astonishingly short time — this time next week your skin will be nearly healed and well on the road to enchanting loveliness and beauty—but you must use Peterson's Ointment. Peterson's possesses such remarkable healing and soothing qualities that minor: pimples and blackheads go like magic—that obstinate cases of burning Eczema are gone after a few days treatment. First application takes out itching and burning. Virgine Hawkins, of Wallace, Va., writes: "I had a very bad case of Eczema. The eruptions on one of my arms were so bad I couldn't use it.

Only in this young voice to which art had brought discipline there was a difference. It wasted nothing in hysteria, but released the fu. torrent of its pent emotion into the words and music. Now she was singing the final stanza: "God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way: Thou who hast by Thy might Led us into the light, Keep us ever in the path, we pray.

Only the great four-story structure where Mamba sits and suns herself, and which is said to contain some of the finest Georgian panelling and ironwork in the city, is impregnable, for its title stands in the name of one Lissa Atkinson, and Saint Julien Wentworth, who manages the property, states definitely that it is not for sale.

As though in mute protest against the invasion of law and order, she is attired in an old wrapper-like garment, faded and far from immaculate. Her legs, thrust straight out before her, are stockingless, and her feet disappear into disreputable-looking men's shoes. An old clay pipe juts at a rakish angle from between her toothless jaws, and from it smoke fumes in a lazy cloud about her face and drills away to offend the sensitive nostrils of the white passers-by, who are becoming more and more numerous as the houses fall one by one into the hands of the restorers.

Under the tired flesh the bones are commencing to assume undue prominence, foreshaowing their grim survival. Through gaps in the sparse gray hair the skull shows in sharp outline, and the brows are ridges beneath which the eyes are lost when the head is lowered. But this inevitable physical mutation which in another would denote senility has, instead of diminishing the force of her personality, in some strange way intensified it, so that those who speak to the old woman as she sits there feel it in the air about her like an aura.

Vine Ave., Knoxville, Tenn. "During the last year in high school, I felt very weak and run-down. Several of my friends told me about Cardui and suggested that I try it. When I went to college I weighed 95 pounds, so I decided to try Cardui, and when the school year was up, I weighed 130 pounds. "I would advise any person who is nervous, weak and in a run-down condition to take Cardui, for I am sure it will do them good."

From behind the pier sound shouts and commands. Mamba sits forward, tense, expectant. Then majestically, across her rectangle of harbour moves the loft, cut-water of the New York steamer, folding back the flat blue into a thin green line lipped with white, drawing after it the steep, black wall of the hull, the high, gleaming superstructure. This is the moment for which Mamba has been waiting. Now that the vessel has drawn its full length into her sphere of vision she sees in it more than the form of a familiar friend out of a loved past. It is no longer a great and mysterious adventurer putting forth from her little world into a vast unknown.

Far below the crowded decks, the soaring funnel, on her own private doorstep. Mamba draws herself together, and her eyes light with a gleam of her old impudent spirit. "Git along, den," she says patronisingly. "Git along. Ah ain't holdin' yo'. An' when yo' get whar yo' is goin', 'member what Ah tol' you' an' gib my gal huddy fuh me."

When Your Cough Hangs On, Mix This at Home When Your Cough Hangs On, Mix This at Home The best cough remedy that money could buy, can easily be mixed at home. It saves money and gives you the most reliable, quick-acting medicine you ever used. The way it takes hold of stubborn coughs and chest colds, giving immediate relief, is astonishing. Any druggist can supply you with 2½ ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and fill up with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. It's no trouble at all to mix, and when you once use it, you will never be without it. Keeps perfectly and tastes good—children really like it. It is surprising how quickly this loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and soothes and heals the inflamed membranes. At the same time, part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes, and helps the system throw off the whole trouble. Even those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics, are promptly ended. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.
