A. B. Singfield Heads League
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION FORMED
Our Business Men Anxious For League's Success—Much Benefit Will Be Derived By Business Men—To Co-Operate With National Body.
On last Tuesday night a meeting was held at the Wage Earners Bank, 468 West Broad street, to effect a permanent local Negro Business League.
The meeting was a very enthusiastic one and the men all expressed themselves as being neatly in favor of a permanent organization in which they might meet and interchange ideas.
The attendance at this meeting numbered about twenty and represented several lines of business. While it was hoped that many more would be out, yet on account of the fact that the meeting was not very widely advertised and that there were several other important meetings in the city at the hour which this meeting was scheduled to take place, the attendance was very gratifying.
The temporary body which was organized last week was made permanent and the two officers, A.G. Singfield and W. W. Hill who were head of that body were unanimously retained in their respective offices, president and recording secretary.
In addition to these J. C. Lindsay was elected first vice president; J. H. Washington, treasurer; W. S. Scott, corresponding secretary, and J. H. Butler, compiler.
There are to be other offices of the League filled, but it was thought best by those present to defer this until a subsequent meeting when a large attendance will be out.
The local league will of course co-operate with the National Negro Business League, to whom it has already applied for a charter.
The business men of the city are hoping to be greatly benefited by the formation of this organization, and many who were not at the meeting Tuesday night have expressed a desire to be present at the next meeting Tuesday night. April 15th, at the Wage Earners Bank at 8 o'clock.
Mr. G. H. Bowen Moves Into Larger Quarters
P. H.
During the present week, Mr. G. H. Bowen, the real estate dealer, moved his office from 500 West Broad street to 457 West Broad street. The new quarters into which Mr. Bowen has moved was a two story dwelling prior to a few weeks ago, and Mr. Bowen has transformed the building in one which will be used for business purposes strictly. The entire ground floor will be taken by him and the upper floor will be let out as offices. By this change in quarters Mr. Bowen now has three large and well equipped rooms for his business. Mr. Bowen's short business career in this city, being only about three years, has been very marked, and the success which has attended his transactions here has placed him in the foreground as a real estate dealer.
Mr. John N. Cherry, of Jacksonville, Fla., was in the city last week.
The Savannah
Over Home News Beaufort, S.C.
Mrs. Lambright of Kansas City, Mo., who is visiting at Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Wright's on North street, seems much charmed with Beaufort's climate.
Mrs. Annie Singleton has returned to Beaufort after spending a very pleasant time with friends in Savannah.
Mr. James Alexander was in Beaufort for a few days last week. He is located at Savannah for a few months. He has some large contracts there.
Hon Edward Wallace made a flying trip to Atlanta last week to attend the G. A. R. Department of Georgia. He was elected vice commander. He also paid a visit to Tuskegee, Ala.
Mrs. Irene Moultrie was in the city for a few days this week. Beaufort has a peculiar charm for the "Over Homers."
Mrs. Manie Izzard of Charleston dropped in the city Saturday and returned Monday. She speaks very high of her old home.
Mr. W. H. Wright, one of Beaufort's leading young men who has been a member of the firm of C. M. English & Co. of Charleston for quite a number of years, has accepted a position in Columbia, S. C. He leaves a host of friends in Charleston. We hope him success in his new field of labor.
The Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthe and the uniform rank, turned out in great style on Sunday March 30th, in spite of the inclement weather, at the hour appointed. The courts met the lodges and uniform rank at the Grace A. M. E. church, where Rev. Jennings delivered the thanksgiving sermon. Mrs. E. G. Bascomb of Queen Rosa Court read a paper on the "Duty of the Couris."
Mrs. Rosa Williams left the city this week to spend a few weeks with friends in Savannah. St. Helena Island and Beaufort were somewhat excited for the past two weeks. On Saturday night March 29th, Mr. J. R. Cooler, dispensary constable for Beaufort county, while walking along with his assistant, Mr. Josh Deans, very near the corner store on St. Helena Island, was shot down with buck shots from ambush. The news quietly spread over Beaufort. Mr. Cooler was taken into the store of Waterhouse & Co., and Dr. T. W. Bailey, a colored doctor from the island, was called in and gave him all the aid in his power, assisted by Mrs. Maggie Wright, a trained nurse from Penn school. By the time two doctors arrived from Beaufort to the island, all was done for him that was possible. So the party returned to Beaufort com implating to take Mr. Cooler over to Savannah for treatment. Before they reached Beaufort he died. His remains were brought over here Sunday morning. On Monday Sheriff M. O. D. White arrested David Reynolds and Jasper Green suspected of complicity in the murder. On Thursday afternoon twenty or more armed men from Blufiton and Jasper county, started to Beaufort with the purpose of lynching the two prisoners. They came as far as Burton, just three miles from Beaufort, intending to march into Beaufort, storm the jail and take out the two prisoners. Incoming persons reported the matter to Sheriff White who wired the governor asking him to order out the local military company. In less than fifteen minutes the order came back to Capt. H. E. Townsend to order them out. In that time Messrs. H. T. Danner, E. H. Christensen and Sheriff White had the two prisoners on board the Violet enroute for Charleston. The mob was disarmed and forced to return to their homes the next morning, and Beaufort still holds her record for law and order. Too much cannot be said of the coolness of Sheriff White. His remarks were "if they take them, it will be over my dead body" Sheriff White landed the two prisoners in the Columbia penitentiary for safe keeping. Gov. Please compliment him for his actions. The colored citizens of Beaufort and St. Helena Island are doing all in their power to assist the local authorities. The people of Beaufort county and of all South Carolina should rejoice

Rev. Joshua A.
Brockett Dismissed
PULPIT DECLARED VACANT BY MASS. AVE. CHURCH
Member After Member Spoke in Censure of Pastor-Deacons who Upheld Him Scored and Confessed Mistake
Seldom have Baptist churches witnessed such church meetings as the one held last Tuesday evening at the Massachusetts Avenue Baptist church, Cambridge.
The very large attendance was inspiring, the wholesome spirit of unity of purpose never surpassed and withal not an offending word nor dissenting vote or voice was forthcoming during the whole of the three and one-half hour session. The doings of the former pastor, Rev. J. A. Brockett, were minutely discussed. Letters to him by members of the church were read, communications of various kinds were read and discussed, and acted upon. Mr. Brockett's record was handled without gloves, but so were the records of the men who gave him authority and are jointly responsible for the awful condition of the church at this time. They admitted their mistakes, confessed their wrongs manfully in a Christian spirit and and forgave. Reviewing the record of the business end of the church, Trustee C. R. Cain showed so plainly the underworld dealings of the reverend that when his remarks were closed on a motion by Bro. J. S. Lee, it was unanimously voted by a standing vote "that the Massachusetts Avenue Baptist pulpit be declared vacant." Committees were appointed to wait on the doctor and notify him of the decision of the church and also to demand an accounting for two years and return the books, the property of the trustee board. The church is to be complimented for the great stand for principle and for retiring the reverend without fuss or trouble, giving him the same. dose he caused to be handed our former pastor, Rev. J. H. Carter.
When another pastor is called he will have a different platform and whoever thinks he must handle the business and finance of this church need not apply, for this people has learned its lesson too well by bitter experience ever to be caught napping again.

Black Hand Letters Condemned In South Georgia.
Thomasville, Ga., April 8.—The citizens of the Dry Lake neighborhood of Thomas county have publicly denounced the sending recently of a Black Hand letter to G. W. Marrable, a well known Negro farmer of that section of the county and condemn the action as outrageous and barbaric. The letter in question was received through the mail by Marrable and he was given ten days to leave his home with a threat as to summary steps to be taken should he not do so. A few days after the receipt of the letter a lot of fencing belonging to Marrable was burned subjecting him to much loss and inconvenience.
It is stated that Marrablé has lived in the Dry Lake neighborhood for about six years and is considered a peaceful, law abiding Negro, well liked by the white people of that section and in view of it they take occasion to express their public disapproval of any acts of violence towards him.

New Georgia Infirmary To Have 120 Beds
ONE OF FINEST HOSPITALS IN THE CITY
Equipment of New Hospital to Cost About $15,000-New Hospital to be Situated in Brownsville
At a meeting of the board of managers of Georgia Infirmary on last Monday afternoon the special committee which was created some time ago to purchase a new site and arrange for the erection of a new hospital reported that it had purchased from the Minis Estate lots on 34th street between Burroughs street and the Ogeechee road. The price which it is reported was paid for the site is $8,000. The committee also advised the erection of a hospital containing about 120 beds and stated that the equipment will cost about $15,000.
The single building idea will be carried out in the erection of the new hospital as it is stated this will be the most convenient and most economical in management. In this arrangement the best results can be more-easily obtained and the danger minimized. It is stated that the building will be three stories high and that plans for the building will soon be provided.
For the past two or three years, especially since the city has been built up around the present site of the hospital, there have been many protests against the hospital remaining there, those in the immediate vicinity claiming that it should be in a Negro settlement since it is a Negro institution. This agitation against the institution was waged from time to time and the decision of the board of managers to build in a Negro section of the city was the result.
Madame Booker's Charming Recital.
I
The recital by Madame Dayse Walker-Booker, of Indianapolis, Ind., at St. Philip church, Charles and West Broad streets, on last Monday night, was one of the most charming and delightful affairs which has ever been given in this city. The recital was to have been held at the Second Baptist church, but a change was necessitated on account of the death of one of the deacons of that church, and St. Philip church was selected. In spite of this change, which came at the last moment, a crowd of about five hundred was out. Madame Booker's numbers were all very excellently rendered, and she demonstrated beyond a doubt that she is one of the most finished readers which the race affords- The local talent which assisted Madame Booker was at its best, and they all acquitted themselves very creditably. That Madame Booker has been greatly appreciated by the citizens of Savannah has been demonstrated by the large audiences that have greeted her on every occasion. Her lectures and also recitals have been more highly appreciated and more widely commented upon than those of any other woman of the race who has ever appeared here.
Dr. W. T. Pritchett of Augusta, spent the week in the city.

Negroes As Colonial Judges.
The picture of Sir Rufus Isaacs in this morning's paper brings to my mind another picture, which may be seen in almost any part of the British Empire where civilized Negroes live—the spectacle of a man as black as the ace of spades, or with the features of a mulatto, wearing the flowing wig and other insignia of the coveted K. C. Sometimes, too, a colored man is a Magistrate or an Attorney-General and in Barbadoes, where a white aristocracy as old and as proud as anybody in Massachusetts or Virginia had grown to regard the office of Chief Justice as its especial perquisite, it was given as the reward of indisputable merit to a son of slaves—Sir William Conrand Reeves.
The American public should not be too ready to accuse the English of race prejudice in the extermination of Sir Rufus. It should be remembered that Disraeli became Prime Minister of England long before Oscar Straus received a minor Cabinet office in the United States.
It may be that some persons in England object to the appointment of a Jew as Lord Chief Justice, but the Isaacs affair is probably rather an attempt of the Opposition to usurrect the Asquith Government. Whatever may be the outcome of the scandal, it is certain that the cautious, slow-moving British people will not be fooled into any Jewbaiting, for with all his foibles the Englishman can always be trusted to recognize ability and to reward honesty and patriotism wherever he finds them. The West African blacks, Sir Samuel Lewis, John Mensah Sarbah, C. M. G., and J. R. Maxwell are not the exceptions which prove this rule as applied to lawyers.
The American critics of Lord Robert Cecil and Mr. Faber would do well to consider how the Bar Association weeded out the first belated Negro members of this "Ring's counsel" in a Republic and provided against the coming of another congener of Sir Conrad Reeves; consider also how the leaders of the now Democracy have ousted the lone colored Assistant Attorney-General without the show of "outward order and decency" which Mayor Gaynor would have us observe in immoral transactions. Then, perhaps, we may be able to set an example to John Bull in the ethips of race relations. James E. Clarke

Fisk Wins Debate From Atlanta
In the seventh annual Atlanta-Fisk debate last Friday night in Ware Memorial Chapel, Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., Atlanta was defeated. The opening speeches were limited to eighteen minutes, and the closing to five minutes. The question debated was: "Resolved. That the United States tariff should be reduced to the basis of tariff for revenue only." Fisk University who had the affirmative was represented by Earnest Lucien Byrnes, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Manshield Edward Jackson, Nashville, Tenn.; and Atlanta-University, debating the negative side, was represented by Eugene Heriott Dibble, Camden, S. C.; Asa Hines Gordon, Monticello, Ga.
Since the granting of a charter to the Standard Life Insurance Company the other day, it has become known that the company would be represented in this city and the surrounding territory by Mr. Geo. W. Jacobs, the real estate dealer. The Standard Life Insurance company is the only old line company conducted by Negroes and that it will find a fruitful field in Savannah is a foregone conclusion. Mr. Jacobs will have under him when the company starts its business here several young men.
Mrs.John Ferrill of 531 $ \frac{1}{2} $ Charles street, spent the week in Bainbridge, visiting her son, Mr. Chas. Ferrill, who will leave for Chicago in a few days.

Interest Children's Races Grows
Interest Children's Races Grows
TICKET CONTEST STARTS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
Rules to be Observed by Competitors in Races—Subscriptions to be Gathered Next Week-Over One Hundred Dollars Raised.
The Negro school children's races which will be held at the baseball park on the first Friday in May are growing in interest every day. This can partly be accounted for by the wide publicity which the affair is being given by the members of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association, the organization under whose auspices the races will be run, and by the attractive placards announcing the event which are to be found in every section of the city, but more particularly by the hundreds of boys who are going to compete against one another and the little girls who will cheer them on.
During the week application for entrance to the races was received from six little boys who wish to represent the Wheat Hill school which is situated at the Five Mile Bend near the Augusta Road on a road connecting this road to the Louisville Road. These little fellows in their application have made it known in no uncertain terms that they are expecting to give a good account of themselves in the races that they will enter and that Wheat Hill will have much reason for rejoicing when they return home with their victories on the evening of races.
The ticket selling contest which will be conducted among the girls will begin Tuesday afternoon. All those who enter the contest will apply Monday to the principals of their respective schools, or some one authorized by them to grant them permission to enter, so that they may all get their tickets at the same time Tuesday.
This contest was waged between the boys last year and was a very spirited one. The honor of winning last year's race fell to Andrew McDowell of the East Broad street school, with James Hart of the West Broad street school a close second.
The prizes for this contest will be very attractive and will be on exhibition the latter part of next week or the first part of the following week.
Considerable interest is being shown by the boys in the probable highest individual point winner this year. Richard Erwin, the winner of this contest last year will make a strenuous effort to repeat this year, but he will have a far more formidable field to beat this year than last.
The one particular race which seems to be attracting the most interest so far is the 120 yard hurdle. Perhaps the brilliant performance of the boys in this race last year, is responsible for interest which is being manifested in this event and it is certain that the youngster who, breaks the tape in this event will have clipped a second or more from last year's time.
The total amount which has been subscribed for purchasing prizes is something over a hundred dollars and the names of those who have given to this fund will appear in next week's issue of this paper. The subscriptions will be collected Monday and Tuesday.
Some of the rules governing the meet are as follows:
(1) Only boys who are properly uniformed may compete.
(2) Only amateurs shall be eligible to compete.
(3) Competitors shall report to the call of each event.
(4) In straightway races any competitor who crosses the path of another shall be disqualified.
(5) Any competitor who wilfully jostles or interferes with an appoinent in any manner, shall be disqualified.
(6) No competitor shall be considered to have finished until his entire body shall have crossed the finish line.

away of Jacob, blessed him again, and
this time truly, and sent bim away to
his mother’s people that he mizht Gnd
.a wife among the daughters of Laban,
his mother’s brother. So Jacob went
out from Beersheba. where Isaac
seems to have continued to live since
the record in chapter sxviy32. 33, and
went toward Haran.
Iaran was the naive of Lot's father.
and he died in Ur before Abram wis
called out. It was also the name
of the place where Abram tarried
until Terah, bis father. died (chap-
ter xi, 2752). It was from thence Ite-
bekah came to be the wife of Isaac.
It would have been a long journey tor
Jacob frow Keersheba to Bethe! in ene
day (between forty nd fifty miles), sv
ft was perhaps bis second night out
op which be had this remarkable es-
perience. That matters not, howes er.
It was the dream or vision that count-
ed rather"than*the time when. -
That one who had acted as Jacob
had should have such a revelation
from the Lord is the wonderful part
of the transaction, There are, bow-
ever, two very prominent facts in ail
the Scriptares which continually: at-
‘tract our attention, One is the ex-
ceeding sipfulness of man, with bis
deceitful and desperately wicked heart.
and the other is the exceeding riches
of the grace and love of God.
It docs not matter as to the kivd of
ladder, whether steps of stone or some
other kind. But the great fact is that
Jacob saw a way of access from earth
.to heaven, angels ascending and de-
scending, and he heard Jehovah fron:
the top of the ladder talking, to him
most graciously and in such words as
no mortal could expect or ‘by aay
means deserve. *
Because of Jacob's unworthiness and
the wondrous grace of God notwitb-
standing even I have ventured to ap-
propriate and have proved in world-
wide journeyings the comfort of
verse 15. *
‘The Lord, who stood above the lad-
der and spoke the words of love and
Erace, no doubt referred to that night
and that event when he said to Na-
thanael, “Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven
open and the angels of God ascending
and de<cending upon the Son of Man”
(Joln i, 51). Some day when the New
Jerusalem shall haye taken its place
over the carth and the elect eburets
florified and the elect Israel all right-
cous and the holy angels shall all be
in perfect nccord With the Lord in ad-.
ministering the affairs of the kingdom
we may think of and understand this
vision more fully. Meantime let us
think of Dim who is “the way, the,
truth, the life,”"who becaine man for
us. The ladder was set up on the
earth. It starts from just where you
are. You may’ step on it if you will,
but it must be with both feet, clean off
the earth, actually in Christ.
It reaches heavei; it is not too short.
To mount day by day we must look
up steadfastly and see Him who is
in heaven for us. Run with patience,
looking unto Jesus. The angels will
be always ministering (Heb. xii, 1, 2;
1, 14). Notice the four “beholds” of
verses 12, 13, 15. Between the time
of Jacob's leaving home and this
night's experience it looks as if the
Spirit had been working some true.
penitence in Jacob's heart, and this
special revelation and message was
the result of it. When we turn home-
ward the Father always runs to meet
us, according to Luke xv, 20.
Such overwhelming grace made Ja-
cob feel somewhat as Simon Peter did
when the Lord filled the ships with
fishes and Peter said, “Depart from
me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
(Luke v, 8) We do well to remem; |
ber that the Lord is ever with us and |
that every place with Him may be to
us the house of God and the gate of
heaven.
_ ‘The pillow becoming an anointed
pillar and the fact that believers are
called stones (I Pet. ii, 5) suggest that
instead of being prone upon the earth
we may become upright, ano{nted liv-
ing stones to the glory of God.
Jacob's vow in verses 20 to 22 may
be good or not so good. If he is bar
gaining with God after all the gra-
cious assurances, as our authorized ver-
sion would seem to indicate, then his
Yanguage and his spirit were poor in-
adced. But if he sald, “Since, on seeing
that, God will be with me’ (verse 20),
his words are better. He bas been con-
sidered by some a very mean man, but
if any who read these words do not give
the Lord at Jeast a tenth of their in-
come are they not meaner than Jacob?
No further incident of his journey is
mentioned, but he certainty had
enough to think about and to com

Discouraging a Vocalist.
Why a certain parrot never learned to talk Current Opinion tells in these words:
Kerrigan went on a trip to South America and while there bought a pretty Spanish parrot as a present for his friend O'Brien. He shipped the bird to O'Brien at once, and when he got back home he said:
"Dlny. did yo get the fine parrot I sint ye from Rio Janeire?"
"I did that, Kerrigan, and I want to tell ye that I never put me teeth into a tougher bird in me life!"
The Joints of the Acrobat.
Everybody has seen the acrobat dislocate his joints. By means of flexions and contortions that have been practiced from a very early age the spinal cord has been converted into what is to all intents and purposes a rubber tube. He can throw his head low enough to put his neck between his legs and bend his back into a bow almost as complete as that of the fire-side cat. A medical man has classified these dislocations and says that the digestion of such men is almost always perfect, provided they do not carry their exercises to excess. He thinks the circulation is stimulated to a degree where waste products of the body are more easily eliminated. -Harper's.

From Choice.
A metropolitan matron once ventured to interrogate James Lane Allen as to the raison d'etre of his state of celliacy.
"Are you a bachelor from choice?" she queried.
"Yes," came the answer with discouncering promptness from the famous author.
"But isn't that—er—rather ungracious and ungallant?" protested the fair inquisitor.
The novelist smiled.
"You must ask the ladies," he suggested gently. "It was their choice, not mine."—Woman's Home Companion.
Parents and Children.
Of children born of parents at the age of forty-one one-third die during the first year, while the rate of mortality among those born of parents between the ages of twenty-one and thirty is less than $ per cent.
Wrong.
"There is a word of one syllable in the English language that is always spelled wrong, even by the most educated people."
Neck Rings.
What the women in the Shan hills of upper Burma want is a long neck. Beauty is estimated from the extended head pivot. From childhood the women wear tight rings of brass about the neck, and at the slightest relief from the strain another ring is added. Besides the rings around their necks, they wear heavy rings on their legs. New York Post.

. A GREAT SPEECH
A Serious Question.
There was once a time though several years ago, when the Negro man cared not for the final disposition of the money he paid for his insurance, so long as he was assured that his sick and death benefits would be paid in due time, but since he has become able to guide his reasons discretionately in the general knowledge of things, he finds himself confronted with this question: Since the Negro furnishes the bulk of money by which to operate a certain class of industrial insurance, the benefits of which are used for the creating of positions to which he knows his children can never hope to enjoy, then why not become jealous and only support those companies, such as the brilliant Georgia Mutual, that are now giving employment to Negro men and women as a perpetual division to the success to which he has so freely contributed? No one answered.

Parents and guardians should be
greatly interested in the school
census that will be soon taken.
They should endeavor to answer
all questions intelligently and give
all possible assistance to those in
charge of the work. It is impera-
tive that each Negro ene of
school age be recorded and the on-
ly way this can be done is that
their parents or those in charge of
them yive the solicitars the de-
sired-information. er.
It is indeed with a feeling of re-
gret commingled with disgust that
we note the present tactics of mud-
slinging now being indulged in by
the editors of the New York Age
and Amsterdam News in their
present tirade against each other.
While we do not condone crime
nor harbor criminality in any re-
spect, at the same time, we do not
tail to see the folly as well as the
despicableness of presenting to
the gaze of our critics, the family
sketches of one especially when
the occasion does not demand it.
In their present tirade against
each, other, the editors of our two
great weeklies wili do well to re-
member the saying of Kansas’
once famous yovernor who re-
minded us that there was so
much good in the worst of us that
it hardly behooved any of us to
talk about the rest of us. -The
world knows too much of our
faults now and too little of our
virtues. Let us emphasize and
“adyertise our virtues more and our
Hiults less and we shall find that
Sous journey upward as.individuals
aid as 4 race will be moremarked.
4 ivis indeed a fact which resists
successful disputation that the
older the world becomes. the more
stringent does it make its efficien-
cy test for those of its inhabitants
who seek place_and honor within
her borders. Less and less as
time moves on does the situation
obtain which allows the men to
seek the job., On the other hand,
it is the job, nowadays, which
seeks the man, the man who is cf-
ficient and capable: the man who
by thorough preparation has made
himself fit fora position of re-
sponsibility in the body politic or
some other phase of the world’s
great uctivities. Favorite sons
and daughters can no longer count
their birth or family connections
or'the fatness of the pocketbooks
as the only necessary asset for
place and power among their fel-
lowmen. ‘The world is asking to-
day, What can hedo und bow well
can he do it?) What is his pre-
paration? To what degree does
his efficiency extend? Is he a
master workman? Can he do his
work better than the other fellow?
‘These are the questions which the
world is asking today of every
one, without exception, who
knocks at her doors and asks for
aD opportunity to make a living.
‘The rich man is gauged by this
test; the poor man as well. No
one canescape. Thisis the decree
of the twenticth century; the cen-
tury of struggle and fierce com-
petition; the period in which the
Jaurels of victory and success are
only allowed to grace the brow of
him who labors hard and long to
excel. AS to how many of our
people there are who realize the
above, it isa question. There are
undoubtedly some among us who
do. There are many among us
do not. Howbeit, the test re-
mains the same. Each of us must
measure up to it sooner or later.
Careless aud indifferent service is
no longer tolerated. Ignorance and
incapability are no longer co-part-
ners to success in any vocation.
The man who succeeds must be
able “to deliver the goods,”
and to deliver them properly.
That the foregoing may become a
widespread reality, is a situation
which our schools have no little to
. bring about. The students in our
schools must be schooled in eflicien-
cy first, last and all the time. If
they are to drive a nail, lay a
brick, stitch o sole, curea fever,
draw up a brief, or what not, they
ought be madg to so perform the
task before them that ‘their word
will stand the most critical test to
which it may be put. The world
today has no tolerance or smpathy
for inefficiency. It is crying
louder and louder and in every di-
rection, for éfficiency and more
efficiency. Let our young men re-
member this and in_ preparing
themselves for their life’s work
may théy see to it that they bend
their energies unstintingly in every
direction that promises to them
the efliciency which the world now
demands. It will be a good thing
for each of our young men to re-
member this.
important and far reaching sleps
yet undertaken by the Negro in
the commercial and financial lifo
of the nation was made a few days
ago, when-the Standard Life In-
surance Company, the first old
line Negro insurance company of
the world, with a capital of
$100,000, opened itsdoors for bus-
jiness with headquarters in our
capital city, Atianta, Ga. The suc-
[cessful launching of this old line
company by Negroes is indeed an
[epoch making event in the history
of the race. ‘That the movement
will Ge a*success, is a foregone
conclusion. ‘he personnel of its
officers and board of directors, is
x» Surety against failure. They are,
without exceptions, successful
business men ef wide and varied
experience. They are men who
have done and are doing things
that count in their respective
communities. ‘Chey are men¢who
have merited and won the esfeemm
and respect of the best and “most
influential people of their respec-
tive communities. Thus their suc-
cess as individuals. And now also
collectively. Our people through-
out the country ought to rally ‘to
the support of this new institution
among us. Every household
should have among its possessions
at least one policy bearing the im-
print of the Standard Life Insur-
ance Company. ‘The -Standard
Life Insurance Company is an or-
ganization composed of Negro
business men and giving employ-
ment to Negro boys and_ girls,
and men and women. In order for
this policy of giving émployment
to our people to be continued, the
company must receive the proper
support from our people, for it is
our people to whom they must
look for their business. The hold-
ing of another policy with another
compuny ought not to be suflicient
ground for any one to take in
order to justify nimself in not tak-
ing out a policy with the Standard
Life. It is the duty of each one
todo so. The Tribune extends to
the Standard Life Insurance Com-
pany its heartiest congratulations
land wishes for it the most abun-
dant success. Long -live the
Standard Life Insurance Company,
because it is, the first old line Ne-
gro insurance company organized
in the world and because the char-
ter bears the seal of our own great
State of Georgia. How well
those behind the Standard Life
Insurance Company have wrought
and what encouragement they are
precelving at the hands of the well
disposed white citizens ih the
sofith, may he gleaned from the
following editorial clipped froma
recent issue of the Atlanta Consti-
tution:
PROGRESS THAT COUNTS -
Nothing less than an epoch in
the material history of southern
Negro'is comprised in the organi-
zation and chartering, by Comp-
troller General Wright, of the
Standard Life Insurance company,
with H. E. Perry as president and
representative Negroes through-
out the south on its board of trus-
tees. The company is the first old
line organization in the world or-
ganized by Negroes to do business
among Negroes. Organized with
a capital of $100,000 its promotion
expenses were only 8 per cent and
its total organization expenses on-
ly 2 percent. Even these costs
were paid out of the premiums
upon its paid in stock subscrip-
tions, the sale of the stock resliz-
ing $138,000. During its as yet
brief history ithas already written
policies to the amount of $400,000.
The final test of the company’s
worth is that it qualified for a li-
cense under the new insurance
laws of the state, umong the most
drastic in America. ‘This means
that the company bears the state's
sovereign approval as a bona fide,
responsible organization, without
“taint of “blue sky:” Complet-
ing the guarantees of the com-
bags s0lvenry # its action of de-
positing in the state treasury

the south are glad toaid,as is
proven by the large file of - letters
of endorsement recvived by the
trustees of this new company from
many of the south's most promi-
nent business men. The launch-
ing of the company under these
particular auspices is nothing less
than a milestone in theupward his-
tory of the race. It illustrates
what the Negro can do for himself.

WHEN BUYING A COW
It is not only important to recognize
the; good,and bnd points of a dairy
cow’s udder by the eye, but it’is even
more jmportant to be able properly to
examine the udder with the hands,
writes Dr. A. S. Alexander in the Farm
Journal. When buying a cow the eye
tells one whether the four quarters are
of like size. development and appear-
ance. If one quarter looks to be larger
than another one may suspect that dis-
case is present or that the cow has
had an attack of garget (mamuitis),
but the hand must be used to corrobo-
rate what the eye suspects.
On handling the udder it will be
found that a sound gland bas 2 spongy,
elastic, remlient feel. ‘The glands
should be absolutely free from Larden-
ed, Indurated, abnormal lumps, masses,
tumors or srowths. Tuberculosis of
the udder is commonly indleated by
the presence of a Targe. bard mass high
up in the rear portion of the udder.
No trace of this may be apparent to
the eye, but fs readily detected by the
hand. On no account should 2 cow be
used if such tubercular gland exists.
Testing with tuberculin will tell
whether or not 2 cow is tuberculous;
but, unfortunately, trickery is some-
times practiced, and the tuberculin
test sheet supplicd by the seller never
should take the place of a physical and
manual examination.
If even 2 simall, hard mass is found
In any part of one quarter It indicates
that the cow has at some time or an-

other suffered a slight attack of garget,
and in our experlence one attack, how-
ever glight, will almost invariably be
followed by another more severe at-
tack, and eventually the cow may be
come useless by reason of repeated at-
‘tacks of garget. The hard mass’ con-
sists of scar tissue or tumor tissue,
which is tuking the place of true gland
tissue which normally secretes milk.
Scar tissue performs no such function,
and such a portion of the udder 1s use-
Jess. When one quarter of the udder
is entirely taken up by tumor tissues
It wholly loses its funetion of milk
production. Few men would buy a
cow for dairy purposes on finding one
quarter spoiled, but most men forget
to look’ for the small tumor masses
which indicate with certainty the prob-
ability of subsequent attacks of garget
which may render the animal useless.
Manual examination of the udder
also “discovers difficult milkers, wart
covered teats or ulcerated sores—which
cause the coty to rebel when milked—
and Indications of cowpos, fistula or
false openings of the milk duct, eracks,
chaps and other troublesome abnor-
malities of the skin. Without manual
examination one also will be unlikely
to notice, if it exists, the presence of,
a chronic sore high ap between the
udder and the flank or between the
Salves of the udder, yet such sores are
common and praetically incurable and
giye rise to a fetid color which is most
otfectionabie in a cow that fs to pro-
duce sanitary milk, It always pays to
sit doyyn and handle most carefully the
udder of the heifer or freshening cow.
The Work Horse In Spring.
‘The good teamster keeps the harness
properly adjusted-in every particular
at all times. If the animals shrink in
flesh the collars and harness are re-
adjusted. This 1s*very essential for
good work. Should the harness be too
loose on top the collar will move back
and forth and thus make a sore neck,
and if too tight it will pinch and cause
the same trouble. And if the harness
is too long it will bring the draft too
low down, thus causing the points of
the shoulders.to become sore.
Early in the season it is a good plan
to remove the collars at noon, clean
them and wash the shoulders with
clean water. If the skin is broken :
Uttle carbolated vaseline is a good
healing remedy and prevents scars. A
little alum in the water used in wash-
ing the shoulders will help toughen
them while they are being prepared for
hard work.
‘The Silo For Beef Production.
‘The general adoption of the silo by
the cattlemen of Texas and other
range countries will probably baye a
big influence on the cattle business in
the corn felt states. When Texas and
Arizona are suffitiently equipped with
stios so that they can carry thelr cattle
through the winters and through the
ary, hot summers and put them on the
market in good condition. it will no
longer be necessary or even desirable
for them to ship their cattle to the
wheat flelds and pasture lands of Kan-
sas or even to the feed lot of other
corn belt states.—Kansas Farmer.

A Short Love Story,
In a certain school in New York city
the English teacher offered a prize for
the best story to be written by a class
of little girls. ‘The ebildren, who were
just reachloe the romantic age, begged
to be allowed to have it a “Love Story
Competition.” With amusement the
teacher agreed, and the result was as:
tonishing in many ways, also enlight;
ening. Professional writers have sweat
great drops of agony and rambled
through 350 pages trying to tell the
story of woman's victory over man
which one little git! accomplished in a
dozen words: ,
“She talked until he thought she was
good. Then they were married.”—

Lemon pickles are a coudiment which
fs especially tempting in hot weather
and a supply made now will be appre-
elated in the summer. Serub the rind
of twelve. lemons and make three or
four lengthwise slits In each lemon.
Fill these slits with sait and Iet the

week, turning them eters day in the
brine that forms. Remove the lemons
and add to the briue a quart of cider

Orange marmalade is an appetizing
substitute for fresh fruit which, just
when it is most craved, in the éaris
spring, is scarcest. A tried recipe calls
for a dozen large oranges sliced thin
(using the skin), with seeds and core
removed. To this add seven pounds of
granulated sugar and boil until clear.
Pack in glasses or white porcelain mar-
malade jars,
Another marmalade which will help
make up for the absence of fresh fruit
until berry season arrives is made of
grapefruit. ‘To make it cover six small
stapefruit with water and boil until

puncture the skins. Drain and set aside

HELPFUL WAYS.
Kerosene an Excellent Cleauser—Care
‘of Gas Stove.
A housekeeper who prides herseif on
her excellent management gives the
following secret of dusting: She alw:y>
dips her dusters in paratiir oll after
washing them and says it is really
astonishing to find how much more ef-
fective they are.
This is only ‘one of the uuwerutts
uses.to which she puts kerosene. A
kerosene soaked rag removes all of the
grease from the Kitchen sink and
Teaves it bright and shining. In the
same way her store Is kept clean.
In speaking of stoves it is worth
mentioning bere that vaseline is cun-
sidered an excellent substitute for
blackening for the gas range. After
port on the range has been finished
for the day 2 rag greased with vase-
line should be rubbed over the rance
inside and out. If this is dope while
it is still warm, the gas baving been
turned off, the effect is most satisfac-
tory.
Valuable Laundry Hints.
Never put things out of hot starch
through rubber wringers. It injures the
rollers.
A new stiff brush makes the best
sprinkler for dampening clothes—better
even than a tin salt sprinkler.
Before washing lace curtains tack a
strip of muslin along their outer edges
and let it remain until they are dry.
and you will thus avoid the usual trou-
ble of sagging. Rubber rollers may be
cleaned by rubbing them with a rag
dipped in parrafin.
The water in which rice has been
boiled may be saved and used to stiffen
small articles. This is worth noting
by the bachelor girl who does her own
cooking and also washes her own mus-
lin collars, ete. These muslin ¢ollars,
she should also remember, must be
thoroughly dried «before being put
away or they will turn Imp again. To
these may be added.many scraps of
valuable information for use ‘In the
kitchen.
To Clean Oilcloth.
Oitcloth may be cleaned and bright-
ened by washing with clear water in
Which a Ittle borax has been dissolved.
‘Wipe with flannel that has been dip-
ped into milk and wrung as dry as
possible, or lukewarm water applied
with a scrubbing brush will answer
equally well, with a Bnal polish with
a woolen cloth wrung out of skim
milk. To clean paint provide a plate
with some best quality of whiting and
have ready some clean warm water
and piece of flannel, whjch dip into the
water and squeeze nearly dry; then
take as much whiting as will adhere
to the painted surface, when a little
rubbing will instantly remove any
dirt or grease; then wash the part
well with clean water, rubbing it dry
with a chamois,

Among the Masons
Some men are fonder of pretending knowledge than they are of searching for it, and some members of the Masonic fraternity are fonder of displaying their Masonic emblems than they are of hunting for the sublime Light and Truth of Freemasonry.
Freemasonry is an institution calculated to benefit mankind, instituted by virtuous men, with the praiseworthy design of recalling to our remembrance the most sublime truths, in the midst of the most innocent and social pleasures founded on liberality brotherly love and charity.—Andrew Jackson.
WHY IS IT?
It is peculiar that in everyday Masonic life the teachings of the Craft are forgotten, and "envy, strife and bitterness" exemplified instead of charity and brotherly love. To differ with some against them for some petty office engendering hatred, and to thwart them in some pet scheme ensures a lifelong antigamy. Indeed certain brethren, when opposed in some trifling matter forget their obligations, and follow vindictively those who differ with them, in many instances long so far as to cause loss of position to the "offending" brother. This is a phaze of Masonic life that we have never been able to account for, as it is contrary to all the teachings of the Craft, and conduct the reverse of brotherly.—Freemason
Freemasonry is the pioneer of civilization. It has a creed broad enough to embrace all that is good in all religions. It makes good citizens better ones under any form of government. It breaks down the barriers of birth, race, creed and tends to make all nations one great common nation. Who would not prefer to be a member of an organization that had its branches and alliances in all lands, embracing good men of every nationality, rather than of a high and excessive taste with narrowing creed of self-conceits, self-righteousness and self-sufficiency? What Freemasonry wants is a field of operation as broad as its principles, a career of aggressive charity harmonizing the warring element of society, substituting the arbitration of reason for that of the sword, and when wars comes, as they will, softening the asperities and animo-ries and staunching the wounds and relieving the sufferings they retail. There is a mission and a work for our noble institution at all times and all over the world. There is work enough, too, for all we can enlist and for all the allies we can gain. Our creed and professions are good. What is needed is that our career should correspond with our creed, our practice with our profession.—Samuel Ward, Montana.
FREEMASONERY'S JEWELS
I would in no way disparage or underestimate the value and importance of greater proficiency in the ritualistic work, but would urge and encourage a more general study of the work and lectures. Proficiency in the work is not only necessary, but indispensable, to maintain an active interest in and attendance upon the meetings of the subordinate lodges as well as for the development of the individual Mason. And yet Masonry in its broader meaning and purpose and in its moral aspect is infinitely superior to any system of signs and grips or secret work. The man who fails to appropriate its subline lessons of morality and virtue, of beaevolence and brotherhood, and make them a part of its mental and moral self falls far short of conjing up to the full requirements of Freemasonry. The man who hopes to become a full grown Mason must carry his Masonry in his heart rather than in his head; and that man whose life and conduct are not shaped and influenced by the lessons learned at the holy altar and illustrated and exemplified by the work and lectures, is a Mason in name only. It matters not how many degrees may have taken, nor how proficient he may be in the ritual, if these lessons have not quickened his sympathies, softened his heart toward his fellowmen and given him broader conceptions of his duty to those with whom he comes social and business contact, he is yet only ashlar, rough from mourry—not polished, squared tited to be used in our moral Masonic edifice. The self-beloved priest, when he saw the master who had fallen among us, offered no relief or even a kind of sympathy and comfort, passed on the other side, and Levite came and looked on him and went his way, not caring to extend the helping hand to one in dire distress and in sore need of help. But when a Samaritan saw him he went to him, bound his wounds, carried him to an inn, care him money and provided for his immediate want. The priest
may have had all the degrees that had ever been devised, and the Levite may have been an accomplished ritualist, but it was the Samaritan who showed the true Masonic spirit. His sympathies went out to a brother in distress and he extended the helping hand. And I know of no apter illustration of the principles of Masonry than is found in the example of the Samaritans.

Imitation Diamonds.
No imitation of the diamond is so brilliant as the skillfully cut piece of the kind of lead glass known in the trade as "paste." The play of color in these counterfeits is often very beautiful, but the glass "diamond" possesses no luster, this term being applied to the light reflected from the top surface of the gem. The flashes of light and color that give brilliance come from the interior, being thrown from the rear surface of the stone. The glass diamond is soft and is attacked chemically by a number of things with which it comes in contact by wear, for both of which reasons it soon becomes dulled. — Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
The Need For Water
Water constitutes about two-thirds of the weight of the body and enters into the composition of all the tissues and fluids. To keep the necessary proportion a large quantity needs to be ingested. One of the great dietetic errors is the neglect to take a sufficient quantity. The amount found in foods is insufficient, and about five cupfuls should be taken daily in beverages. A vegetable diet diminishes the need of water, while one composed largely of animal food increases this need.
Mr. Cleveland's Portrait.
During his first administration, says Hilary A. Herbert in the Century, Mr. Cleveland, disliking a certain portrait of himself painted at that time, had it relegated to the garret. President Harrison caused it to be brought down. In his second term Mr. Cleveland spoke jocularly of the portrait and asked Tom Reed if he did not think that one who had twice been elected president was entitled to have two portraits "Well, y-e-s." said Reed in his well known drawl. "if he has grown any handsomer."

THE CANDY KID.
fat raisins, marshmallows, almonds and figs. Then you are ready for the Frankenstein trick, making a man.
It is best to begin on the legs and arms first, and to make the legs stick two of the raisins on two toothpicks and to the ends of each pick place an almond for feet. The arms are made in the same way, except for the hands the almonds are blanched. Now run two marshmallows through a toothpick for the man's body and head—he hasn't any neck.
Have ready some melted chocolate, dip an orange stick in the mixture and with it make large blotches for buttons on his coat, and use the same brown mixture for his features, which you see are as grotesque as possible. Now attach arms and legs to the body, and when a fig has been rakishly placed on his head for a hat the little manikin is ready for the party.
The Larder and the Cookery.
Butter is best kept in stone jars with stone lids.
Bread will keep better in a wooden box than in tin.
Some people think the flavor of pumpkin pie much improved by a little quince preserve.
Bolled rice covered with grated cheese and baked brown in the oven makes a good luncheon dish.
To pop corn successfully first put it in a sieve and dash cold water over it. The kernels will be large and flaky.
HOG SUGGESTIONS.
A pig gives the best returns from dairy products while young. With the growing pigs thrift, not hunger, should prompt to exercise. If from a well nourished dam and a healthy strain of animals the pigs rarely need attention at farrowing time. When pigs should be weaned should be determined as much on how they are eating and growing as upon their age. As a general proposition it may be said that the sow that ins pigs before she is a year old will disappoint her owner. A cough in a hog can usually be traced to one of three things—dust, worms or cold, but there is no telling what it may result in.
no timing what it may result in.
Skimmilk when fed in connection with grain makes a very valuable food for hogs at all periods of their growth, but particularly so during the earlier period.
GROWING BABY BEEF.
Selection and Feeding Two Important Things to Consider.
With the increasing demand for baby beef the production of it has become a very profitable industry, says the Kansas Industrialist. So much advice has been given on the advantages of growing this kind of beef that the beginner is likely to arrive at the conclusion that this is the only profitable branch of beef production. This is not necessarily true, though it is true, generally speaking, that under the right conditions the more quickly your live stock is finished and put on the market the greater will be the profit.
To obtain the best results in rearing baby beef a number of things should be borne in mind: The two most important of these are the selection of well bred youngsters and the feeding.
Well bred feeding cattle can be finished for market at a younger age than the ordinary kind. The younger the better for baby beef. And as a rule only well bred ones will mature sufficiently early to satisfactorily meet market requirements. It requires greater skill in selecting a calf for fattening than older cattle, for the more milk fat it possesses the less it shows its lack of quality in breeding. It is comparatively easy to detect what kind of a feeder a two-year-old steer will make. With a calf it is more difficult. Proper feeding might require even a keener consideration. At the begin-

Note the massive breast and fore quarters. He has a large frame and is a powerful animal throughbred. Ayrshire bulls are good milk and butcher animals are thrifty animals and extremely hardy. Ayrshire are growing in popularity, especially in the east.
ning the calf should be encouraged to consume considerable quantities of roughage. This has a tendency to increase the capacity of the calf for handling large quantities of concentrated feeds later on. Plenty of roughage, especially silage and clover or a substitute, should be provided during the winter and plenty of pasture during the summer. The calves should be fed corn with some nitrogenous food like oil meal or cottonseed meal during the winter. Shellled or crushed corn may be fed very profitably, provided there are hogs to follow. When the calf is young oats and clover or alfalfa are likely to prove the best supplements to corn for full feeding. Grain feeding may be dispensed with when the calf is put on pasture if the grass is good. It would be better, however, to continue the grain ration even if the grass is good! The tendency with the calves is to grow rather than to fatten. The aim should be then, to have them fatten as they grow. The only way to accomplish this is by liberal feeding of the right kind of a ration.
Ventilation of Sheep Barns
Ventilation or Sheep Barns. Ventilation is an important factor in the health of all animals confined in stables. Undoubtedly the ideal ventilation for the sheep stable as well as the cow barn would be the King system. But most sheep barns will not be equipped with any elaborate system of ventilation; hence the desirability of securing as good ventilation as is possible without deleterious effects on the sheep under average conditions and in an ordinary sheep stable. Having a warm covering of wool, the sheep are not easily affected by cold temperatures; hence up to lambing time about the best method of ventilating the stable is by means or an open door into the yard with a southern or eastern exposure. This affords plenty of fresh air without an accompanying draft in cool weather, and if a portable gate is at hand to confine the sheep within the stable in stormy weather the results will be most satisfactory.
BREAKFAST DISHES.
Remains of a Ham Furnish Material
For Toothsome Tidbits.
Fried ham rolls are one of many delicious breakfast dishes which can be made from the remains of a ham. Mix half a pound of finely chopped ham with four ounces of bread crumbs and two mashed potatoes. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan and add it to the mixture and three tablespoonfuls of white or brown sauce. When hot stir in a well beaten egg. Season highly with paprika and a few drops of lemon juice. Spread on a plate and let cool. Shape the mixture into even sized rolls, brush over with egg, roll in bread crumbs and fry in deep hot fat to a golden color. Drain the fried rolls on a cloth or paper, dish up and serve plain or with tomato sauce.

Lentil Omelet—Cook half a grill of lentils in stock or salted water till tender and drain them. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, fry in it a peeled, minced shallot, put in the lentils and fry for a few minutes. Moisten with two or three tablespoonfuls of brown sauce, season with pepper and salt and keep hot. Break six eggs into a basin, beat up well with two tablespoonfuls of milk or cream, season with salt or pepper and pour into an omelet pan containing about two tablespoonfuls of butter (hot). Stir over the fire with a fork till the mixture begins to set. Spread the cooked lentils over the omelet and fold in the sides. Let it take color, a nice golden brown, and turn out carefully into a hot dish.

Bacon Toast With Tomatoes.—Cut some streaky bacon into rather thin slices, place them in a saucepan with just enough water to cover and let its contents boil for a few seconds. Then drain the slices of bacon carefully, put them in a frying pan and fry until crisp over a quick fire. The bacon should be of a delicate brown when cooked. Have ready some oblong slices, of toasted, brown brend, butter them well, and trim the slides to the size of the bacon. Cover the pieces of toast with the bacon and dish up; put a small, round slice of fried tomato (these can be fried in the bacon fat) on the top of each slice of bacon, and send to table hot:
SMART COAT COLLARS.
Bulgarian Embroidery Exploited on the Newest Models.
An extremely effective round collar for a coat or one piece dress can be made of medium weight white linen with an embroidered design of daisies. Over a well fitting pattern cut the linen collar, first stamping the border of daisies, placing one daisy head close to another until the collar is edged with the flowers. Allow two inches of material to extend beyond the border.

COLLAR FOR SCHOOLGIRL.
Pad the daisy petals lengthwise with four strands of darning cotton, that the flowers will stand out in bold relief. Using mercerized cotton of a medium weight, embroider the petals with satin stitch at right angles with the padding.
Blue and red embroidery brightens the simple sailor collar of tan linen pictured, which is designed for the schoolgirl, but is equally good looking for her elder sister. The gay tie matches the embroidery, and it is knotted in the newest fashion.
For the Tea Table.
A woman who has lived abroad for many years where they make a cup of tea as carefully as they make a cake says the lemon should never be cut until it is to be used. Have a small, sharp knife on the table and cut each slice as desired, never cutting a disful of lemons to stand for an hour or even a few minutes. $ ^{3} $
A good tidbit for the tea table can be made with biscuit and marmalade. Break each piece in two, making thus two squares; put on a row of Neufchatel cheese around the edge and a drop of orange or tangerine marmalade in the center. This makes just the right sized wafer and has a luscious flavor.
All the latest improvements and conveniences is under the management of Thos. G. Young. Excellent car service. All cars transfer at 40th and. Whitaker Streets. Take Isle of Hope car to Baker's crossing. Secure your dates at 143 Drayton St. Phone 2034. Special attent i o given to Churches and Sunday Schools.
Instead of lemon in the tea try a maraschino cherry and a teaspoonful of the wine that comes with them. Or another flavor that may be used in tea is rum. This is called Russian tea. One uses no sugar or cream or lemon and just a teaspoonful of rum.

Pulled Bread.
Remove the crust from fresh bread and tear the center in small pieces with two forks. Dry in a very slow oven until crisp all through. The center of biscuits may be prepared in the same way. Or take a freshly baked loaf and while it is still warm pull the inside out of it in pieces a little smaller than the palm of your hand. Bake the pieces on a floured baking tin in a hot oven until they are of a delicate brown color, when they should be crisp and of a nice nutty flavor. These are most digestible.
