VOLUME XXIX Tuskegee Negro Conference Tuskegee Negro Conference MANY FARMERS AND NOTED EDUCATORS PRESENT Far-Reaching Suggestions Outlined—Declarations Adopted —Negro Health Considered—Southern Sociological Congress Asked to Assist in Bringing Closer Relations Between Races --- Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Jan. 23. The, twenty-third annual Tuskegee Negro Conference which just closed here was without doubt the most interesting that has been held in the history of that movement. Both the farmers' Conference and the Workers' Conference were attended with more than the usual degree of interest and were farreaching in practical results attained. The Farmers' Conference discussed and considered the improvement that had been made in farming in the past fifty years, a kind of retrospect of the past and a sort of self congratulation over the progress that had been attained. In striking contrast to this, the Workers Conference was a forward look, a review of not only what had been accomplished, but a consideration of what the future held in store for the Negro, and what he must do to bring about the realization of that hopeful feature. From a consideration of improvements in Negro farming the first day by the farmers themselves in which they were only interested spectators noted educators and workers in Negro uplift generally turned their attention to the second day in the Workers' Conference to a frank, plain and outspoken consideration of the conservation of Negro health. At no other time within the history of the Negro race has so many good things been said, or the way pointed out so plainly, nor has the loss in the cold, matter-of-fact dollars and cents been so understood by the Negro people, as the opportunity at this conference afforded. Progress was the keynote of the farmers' meeting; health, that of the Workers' Conference. The activities began Wednesday day morning with a parade, which was by far the most representative attempt of its kind ever made by Negroes to teach them the lesson of the progress and to present a picture of what can be accomplished by intelligent leadership and methods in agriculture. The parade was led by the agricultural students of the Institute, members of the short course, and Negro farmers of Macon county. An old man with a cob pipe, steer, wooden plow, represented the Negro farmer of fifty years ago; another old man appeared with a small mule and a scooter plow, followed by another with a small mule and a one horse turning plow. This portion of the parade was concluded with another farmer who drove two mules and a two horse turning plow. Such features continued,representing successively each step in progressive farming, the four horse gang plow, the disc harrow, a roller, a seed drill, a mower, binder, load of oats, thresher and gasoline engine, corn harvester, cotton stalk chopper, transplanter, and so on, until all the modern day machinery was exhibited to the thousands who witnessed the parade. The various departments of the Institute work connected with agriculture were represented by floats. There was the orchard, canning factory, poultry, with girls dressing chickens, incubators. Then followed a swine herd showing fine animals with students feeding them; two bulls and six cows, creamery float with girls making butter; the horse barn was represented by a jack and six young mules a Percheron stallion, and four grade Percheron colts On the veterinary float boys were treating a cow; road building and surveying was depicted as well as agricultural bookkeeping and instruction An automobile haken with agricul- Continued From Page Eight The 126th Anniversary of the First Bryan Baptist Church The one hundred twenty-sixth anniversary was one of the most enjoyable entertaining and instructive in the history of the church.

Infantry, having enlisted for a term of three years; and at the time of his death had served only fourteen months of his time. His tragic end came suddenly. While seated on his bunk in the squad room preparing to clean his rifle, he was conversing, and laughing with his fellow comrades when, in some unaccountable way, his rifle was suddenly discharged, shooting him through the left lung. All that was done to save his life was in vain; he died twenty minutes after he was shot. His remains were shipped home reaching the city on Wednesday morning of last week.

Robert Drake, Herbert Butler, Elijah Butler, James Williams, Peter Houstoun and John Smith; also Misses Evelina Nixon, Earnestine Boifeuillette, Esther Snoden and Daisy Bland.

Holmes at the Emancipation Exercise Jan. 1, 1914. at F. A. B. Church, Franklin Sq. Through a century and a half ago we have traced our ancestors' history. We have seen how they performed the hard tasks assigned them by their masters; followed the hoe and plow with a laugh and a song; making magnificent estates, building mansions, furnishing them with the splendor of the times; so eager in patriotism as to be first to shed blood on the altar of their country's liberty. All this they did with no other hope of reward than a slave's cabin and a life of bondage for themselves and children. Scarcely have they ever sought revenge in riot and bloodshed. Stolen from a home of savage freedom, they found themselves in straightened circumstances, as slaves in America. But the greatness of the Negro's nature crops out plainly in the wonderful way in which he adapted himself to his new condi ions. The fact he went to work willingly, worked so long and faithfully marks him far superior to the Indian, who never accepts the condition of labor, either for himself or another, and universally enjoys the rank of a savage rather than that of a civilized being. A plant placed in the window of a dark chamber gradually bends its foliage towards the sunlight; so the Negro, surrounded by the darkness of slavery, bent his life towards his master's God. Before freedom he was a piece of property; now he is an American citizen. Then the Negro had no rights that the white man need respect; now the Negro and white man are equal before the law. Then there were laws against Negro education; now laws adorn our statute books that require the education of the black man. Then there was not a school for the Negro; now there are more than 2500 schools. Then a Negro teacher was considered an impossibility; now more than 2500 Negroes are instructing the youth of the race. Then there was gross darkness of ignorance throughout the realms of the race; now the light of intelligence has pierced these clouds. Then the conception of a college or professional school would have been regarded as the product of a deceased brain; now colleges, universities, medical schools and schools of law for the race are freely dotted on the man of our south land. Then the Negro owned not a spot of land nor property of any kind; now his accumulations are rated at $300,000,010 or more. Behold this array of contrasted facts, undisputed and unsurpassed, who will deny that they furnish an unanswerable argument of progression in all lines. Mark the long columns of America's dark sons moving steadily and surely up the hill of progress, removing one by one the obstacles impeding the onward steps and advancement of age. We must emphatically assert that considering circumstances, the Negro has made remarkable progress. The work still remaining to be done is great and large, but noting the advantages, the Negroe compares favorably with any race. Just judgment demands that in considering the lower, ignorant, immoral class among the blacks, we must not overlook the same condition among the whites who have had the benefit of centuries of civilization. At the close of the war the Negro found himself in the condition of a man who wakes up out of sleep in the midst of a dream in which all things seem strange and confused. It took him sometime to adjust himself to the new state of affairs. He was restless; he could hardly realize that he was free. To test his freedom he began to move about. His movements at first about. His move here we have were individual, then general, as leaders sprang into existence What he has done for himself under great difficulties and discouragement in the last third of the 19th century is a splendid prophecy of what he will be in the end of the 20th century. He has seen quickly that superior positions are open to him in just the same to us as to any other citizen, and that if he would have, his superiority recognized he must demonstrate it. It must yield, however slowly; and colored statemen, merchants, bankers, lawyers, doctors min sters and educators will win their way by forces which are not an accident of race or color, but are developed by culture. It is not enough to congratulate ourselves on living in an age of progress. If a train is passing through the city and a passenger in the rear coach hopes to sit still and overtake the passenger in the front coach, his hopes will be in vain. He must put forth personal locomotion. Now the train of progress is passing through the land. There is a man on the front coach, we call him a white man. There is one in the rear coach, we call him the black man. We must do something ourselves for ourselves before we enter among the producing forces. It is fifty years since Abraham Lincoln gave to the world his immortal proclamation. For fifty years we have enjoyed freedom, however imperfect it may have been. Have we shown ourselves worthy of it! Thanks be to God we are not our own judges. The world has sat in judgment upon us. Our friends and our enemies have united in the confession that the progress of the American Negro under freedom is one of the marvels of age. It has no parallel in the world's history. Give us more men who can retrospect the past and project the future. The Negro can look for honorable connection with the progress of invention and civilization of the age only by his thoughts' relation to it. It will not give us a place among the great American forces that are threading this country with railroads for us to cut the ties. Muscle is not manhood. Physical size is not greatness. If it were the elephant is a greater man than man. Thought, power character and integrity are the elements we need. An Appeal to the White People. Noting the urgent necessity for better preparation of the Negro boys and girls in this community and adjacent counties, for a life of usefulness, the undersigned, with a few associates, have begun the erection and establishment of a training school for Negro boys and girls outside the southern limits of the city on the White Bluff road. The name of this institution is the Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute. It is properly chartered under the laws of Georgia for the work it essays to do. Knowing the position which we must occupy in the economic life of this great city, and greatly appreciating our opportunity, we are willing to make and are making every possible sacrifice to meet the conditions. A building, is now being erected on the grounds of the institution, which is the first to be built on a campus of 23 acres The building as it stands was erected at a cost of $5,000.00. Every dollar of which was contributed from the scanty earning of the Negro himself, as we did not desire to appeal to our white friends until we had demonstrated our own earnestness in the work. We think, by the above showing, that we deserve your sympathy and help and we, therefore, take this method of appealing to you, feeling assured that it will reach the hear's of those who are only waiting to help us. We appeal to you on the grounds, first: That whether we will or no, the white man and the Negro occupy the same common territory in our beautiful southland, and will continue to do so, perhaps, to the end of time. Second: The time will never come when the Negro will be independent of the white man. Today he is dependent on him for every line of occupation by which he earns his daily bread and should be assisted in the preparation for the better performance of his duties as servants, laborers and artisans. Third: The American Negro, and especially the Southern Negro, needs today, more than ever before, the helpful sympathy of the American white man, the southern gentleman. We do not regret the millions that are being spent for the education and Christianization of our brethren in Atrica and the isles of the sea, but we do ask that, of your bounty, you do not forget us at home, who must live here, work here, spend our earnings here for the necessities of life and at last die and be buried here. While your sympathies run out for the heathen tar away; help, O, help us to rescue these nearer home, some of whom are not far removed from their pristine state. The establishment of this institution was made possible by the generosity and Christian spirit of the Central Park Company of this city. Its establishment cannot conflict with the work done by any similar institution, as the demand for efficient service far exceeds the supply. We are trying to make men and women who can be depended upon, and believe you will help us. We desire $5,000 to be ready to begin work, but must have $1500 00 in order to save the work already done. We must have this in 15 days. We appeal to you and believe that you will liberally respond. A personal canvass will be made immediately by the undersigned. immediately, by the undersigned. Those wishing to make donations direct without personal solicitation can send checks to Rev. R. H Singleton, pastor St. Philip church, 5-7 Charles street, the secretary, who will properly receipt for the same.

One morning two senators entered President Lincoln's private office. With them slipped in a lad who had been waiting a long time for admission to the presence of this great man. The president briefly greeted the two senators; then, turning to the boy, said kindly. "And who is this little boy?" The child answered: "My mother is poor, sir, and I'm looking for work. I thought you might let me be a page in the house." "Very good, son," answered the president. "but you'll have to see the doorkeeper of the house at the capitol." "But, sir," said the lad. "I am a good boy and have a letter from my mother and from my Sunday school superintendent and my teacher." The president took the lad's papers, ran his eye over them and then wrote upon the back of one of them: If Captain Goodnow can give a place to this good little boy 1 shall be grazed. Lincoln's Kind Heart. The following story shows what a kind and noble man President Lincoln was: One cold winter day Lincoln met a poor man who had been hired to chop up an old hut into firewood. The poor fellow was barefoot, thinly clothed and shivering from the cold, and he was so weak that he could hardly raise the ax. Lincoln stopped the man in his work and said, "How much are you getting for this job?" "A dollar," said the woodchopper, "and with it I must buy myself a pair of shoes." "You go inside and warm yourself for a few minutes," said Lincoln as he took the ax from the woodchopper. Then he swung the ax mightily and soon had the old hut split up into kindlings. He had done it so quickly that the man could hardly believe his eyes. The poor woodchopper received his money and bought his shoes. St. Valentine's Day. One authority says that the custom of sending paper valentines is quite modern, dating back a little over 100 years. For centuries before that a valentine was not a dainty bit of colored or embossed paper. A valentine was a person. We see a relic of this meaning in the words still so often found on these dainty missives, such as "Be my valentine." From the early Roman down to quite modern times it was the custom of the maidens of a village or social circle on the 14th or 15th of February to write their names on bits of paper and drop them into a box; then the youths, blindfolded, would each draw a name from the box, and the one whose name a young man drew was bound to be his valentine for one year. It was a kind of mock engagement, which, it may be supposed, quite often ended in a real one, for the young man was bound by custom to be somewhat attentive to his valentine during the year.

Making It Last. A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was smugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, wife for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall! I have had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it shan't be wetted now!"—London Express. To Make Shaving Easier. The Sleepless Seven. "There were seven of the twelve," said one of the discharged jurors in speaking of the matter next morning, "who didn't want to sleep themselves and wouldn't let the rest of us sleep. Whenever we dropped in a doze they came around and shook us till we were wide awake again." "And you had to submit, I suppose for they constituted the majority?" "Yes. They were a rousing majority," said the hollow eyed juror, with a pensive attempt to be facetious.—Chicago Tribune. Mexican Hats.

The Purpose of Masonry Masonry is a united brotherhood It is a unit. The interest of one is the interest of all. What benefits one benefits all, and what injures one injures all. Brotherhood is familyhood; out of this arises true socialism; the duty of each member of the family to do its part to properly maintain the whole family, so that none of them shall suffer for want of the necessities of life. While Socialism is correct in theory, it has never been wholly practicable. The reason is, the perverted principle of selfishness forces each individual to look more to his personal interest than to that of a brother. More, the fact that a member of a social system is assured that his material wants are to be supplied, induces the same law of selfishness to make some of them fail to do his full part, because he knows that the more alert members will supply what the selfish interest of the inactive fails to do. The result is, the want of proper education in a social community makes the pure social system, at present, unattainable. Consequently, Masonry is forced to carry out real and true Socialism impartially—as much as the present social system will permit. Its best social features are now seen in the widows' and orphans' homes, and in the homes for its incompetent old brothers and their wives. Thus the great body of Masonry becomes one, in its purpose to care for its incompetents and to become a father to its orphan children and train them and fit them for the duties of life. Its social features are seen further: every good Mason loses no opportunity to aid a brother in all practical ways, for his advancement, materially, intellectually and morally. No Mason has the right to make the Order a part of business; but he has the right to ask a brother to do acts of kindness, to ask for relief when necessity requires it, and to ask him to go and do acts of kindness for him and for members of his own family. It is the duty of all Masons to give place to his brother; all things being equal he must employ a brother Mason in preference to others and appoint him to positions of employment in place of selecting others.—Masonic Life. In becoming a member of O. E. S. the door of opportunity is opened wide, through which you may pass to greater usefulness, and the greatest of all service to humanity. The true Mason always desires to love his dear ones around him. Why does he not wish them to share the pleasures of fraternal association with him in the Order "Masonry teaches man to practice charity and benevolence, to protect chastity, to respect the ties of blood and friendship, to adopt the principles and reverse the ordinances of religion, to assist the feeble, guide the blind, raise up the down-trodden, shelter the orphan, guard the altar, support the government, inculcate morality, promote learning, love man, fear God, implore His mercy and hope for happiness." THE MASTER'S DUTY Let the Master, therefore, attend to character in his conversation, social intercourse and private conduct. These are usually distinctive of the man. The topics which become textual and habitual with him, the company he seeks as kindred and congenial, the sources of enjoyment sought in private by these outgoings of the inner man. Men generally report what they are. Every passion, movement and muscle betrays the heart and speaks what is in the man. The Master should be dignified on all occasions, for by a dignified life he shall lead men to trust God, and by so doing shall cause men to walk the true walk that leads to the highway above.—Masonic Journal. MASONS VERSUS MEMBERS We frequently hear a brother boasting of the large membership of his lodge. There is one question of the more vital interest than the large number of members and that is the number of working interested Masons there is in a lodge. The lodge may have five hundred members and yet not have as many wide-awake appreciative Masons as a lodge of only fifty. What our lodges need in these days is earnest, enthusiastic members, not large members than Exchange The Grand Lodge of England has and in its possession the regalia of the late King Edward. of Connaught, "having been graciously pleased to make the presentation.

Not giving your whole, undivided attention to the task in which you have invested your life and money means that you are wasting your own precious time and that of others.

Witty Savings. W. S. Gilbert said of Beerbohm Tree's Hamlet that it was "funny without being coarse." During an Englishman's lecture in New Haven the usher said to a late comer: "Please, sir, take your seat as quietly as possible. The audience is asleep." A Philadelphia woman said: "Of course, there will be no marriage in heaven. There will be plenty of women there and a few men, but none any one would care to marry." Got His Beward. Years ago a tradesman whose name is now a household word was employed in a modest capacity in a west end shop in London. While exhibiting some delicate ware to the very first customer he served he let it fall and break. The customer, a doctor, good naturedly took the blame and paid for the broken article. Years later the salesman, now a wealthy man, called on the doctor, reminded him of the incident and settled on him $5,000 a year for life.—London Express.

"Are you getting accustomed to New York?" asked the talkative grocer. "By degrees," said the woman. "I think I like it a little better than I did at first. "But how did you know that we had just moved to town? I never told you." "No, you never told me, but the way you bought groceries did. You bought in such large quantities. This showed that you had just come from some place where people had plenty of store-room and so bought groceries by the box and barrel instead of by the pound. But I see you are getting used to keeping house on two kitchen shelves and are buying in driblets, like M. Of all the designs submitted for the memorial in honor of the heroes of the Titanic wreck, that of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney was adjudged the best and she was given the commission. Mrs. Whitney will now proceed with the work of preparing the statue. It is anticipated that it will be erected in Potomac park, Washington. Congress is expected to set aside a plot of ground there on which it may be put up. The sketch, which was submitted in an invitation competition with seven other sculptors, shows the heroic figure of a man standing, with arms outstretched and head thrown back, as though eager for sacrifice. "Sacrifice" is, in fact, the title that Mrs. Whitney gave to the figure. From a distance the figure takes the form of a cross. The sum of $45,000 has been secured through the efforts of the woman's Titanic memorial committee, which includes hundreds of women prominent throughout the country. Mrs. Whitney, who was Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, began her art work very modestly, and at first never exhibited it under her name. Little by little, as if encouraged by favorable criticisms, she became more and more ambitious, entered public competitions and won prizes at exhibitions. Last spring in Paris a marble fountain of hers received the honor of a special installation in the salon. In the design three more than life sized men held up the broad bowl from which the water gushed, and in addition to the water there were palms and a cover to add to the parklike This fountain was for a county in a Washington building. In the contractural league exhibition of 1898 Whitney, in association with Gosvenor Atterbury, architect, and Hugo Ballin, painter, won the special prize for a work combining the three arts. Mrs. Whitney's contribution to the design was a fountain. Another piece of work of Mrs. Whitney familiar to New Yorkers is the great sculptural figures in the Hotel Belmont, the caryatids that support the ceiling in the entrance hall. She is also associated prominently in the group that is designing the sculptural embellishments for the San Francisco fair. Her fountain, called "El Dorado," is to stand in the court of honor at the exposition. Her studio on West Eighth street, New York, near the Macdougal alley studios, is being enlarged and improved in anticipation of her return to this country, supposedly about April 1. She and Mr. Whitney are now abgrad THE GIRL WHO SUCCEEDS. She Is the One Who Puts Heart and Conscience Into Her Work. To be a success in business a girl must be willing. An employer can always tell when his workers have his interests at heart. The business girl may think that the strict attention she pays to the business at hand goes unnoticed, but it never does. Every business man can tell which of his employees arrives the earliest and leaves the latest. He knows which one does the best work and which one is the most diligent. The girl who must support herself should learn at the very start not to go into business with the idea of doing the least amount of work possible for her salary, but with the determination to do the work allotted to her thoroughly, no matter how long it takes, and to be always ready for more. This is the spirit which wins out in the end. Another little word on this subject. The more a girl dislikes her line of work the more conscientious she should be about doing it thoroughly. It is easy to do work well and to give overtime to it when the work is congenial and enjoyable, but when a girl longs to shirk at her business and finds it unpleasant, that is just the time when she needs to buckle down to real labor. The mere exertion of forcing herself to accomplish her duties well and thoroughly will eventually make the work more interesting and more pleasant. SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson VI.—First Quarter, For Feb. 8, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Luke xi, 14-25; 33-36-Memory Verse, 23-Golden Text, Luke xi, 35-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The topic of this lesson is "Light and Darkness" and if fully studied will take us through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. We are brought face to face with Christ and Satan and their kingdoms and are plainly told that we belong to and are living in the interest of the one or the other (verse 23). We can know the truth concerning these things not by the opinions of men, but only by the word of God, and in verses 27, 28, our Lord said to one who thought that His mother was a blessed woman, "Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it." Ever since Eve listened to the devil in the garden of Eden and yielded to the tempter, believing his life rather than the word of God, the conflict has been on and will be until the stronger than the devil shall bind him and shut him up in the abyss for a thousand years (verse 22; Rev. xx). The Son of God was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil (I John 3:8), and every instance of His delivering any one from his power, such as the one in our lesson, was a foreshadowing of the kingdom of God when there shall be neither adversary nor evil occurrent (I Kings v. 4). Anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power, He went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him (Acts x. 38). When He shall come with His saints in resurrection power and glory then He shall be manifested as a greater than Solomon, and Israel all righteous shall see nations penitent as truly as Jonah, back from the dead in a figure, saw a whole city penitent. To accuse our Lord of being in league with the devil was about the worst thing they could say of Him, but they were making it manifest that they were, as He said, of their father, the devil, a murderer, a liar and the father of lies (John vii, 44). They were fully of darkness and yet supposed they were in the light; they were blind and yet thought they saw. The devil, of whom they spake, the god of this world, had blinded their minds lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them (II Cor. iv, 4). Refusing the truth, they were more filled with the lie; even as it is still and will be more and more until the end of the age, receiving not the love of the truth. God sends strong delusion that they should believe a lie (II Thess. ii, 10, 11). The Lord Jesus is the light and the truth; the truth is in Jesus and nowhere else; apart from Him there is, neither light nor truth (John viii, 12; xiv, 6; Eph. iv, 21). Without Him all is without form and void and dark, chaos and confusion, as it was in Gen. 1, 2, and only of those who receive Him is it true that "God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (II Cor. iv, 6). Darkness is suggestive of the devil and his demons and those on earth who serve him and their awful future (Eph. vi. 12; II Pet. ii. 4, 17; Prov. iv. 19; Matt. viii. 12; xxii. 13; xxv. 30) God is light, and those who become children of God by receiving the Lord Jesus are called children of light, for the entrance of His word giveth light (I John i. 5; Eph. v. 8; Ps. cxlix. 130. As in Gen. i. 3, 4, God divided the light from the darkness, so it is always, and in II Cor. vi. 14, the question is asked, "What communion hath light with darkness?" should lead us to consider well whether our fellowships in ordinary daily life are with light or darkness. In all the wilderness wanderings of Israel they always had light, for the pillar of cloud by day became a pillar of fire by night, and He never took it from them. On one occasion the pillar was darkness to the Egyptians, but it was light to Israel, just as during the plague of darkness in Egypt Israel had light in their dwellings. Great darkness is even now in Christendom because many religious teachers are turning away from the word of God, the only true light. Because they are wise in their own eyes, as was Israel in the time of our lesson, when our Lord was on earth, they put darkness for light and light for darkness, calling evil good and good evil (Isa. v, 20, 21). This darkness of unbelief shall increase until it shall be gross darkness; then the Itedeemer shall come to Zion. His glory shall be seen upon Israel, and the nations shall come to her light and kings to the brightness of her rising; then, as it is also written, "The Lord shall be thine everlasting light and thy God thy glory" (Isa. ix, 10, 20, 1x, 13, 19, 20). At that time saved nations shall walk in the light of the New Jerusalem, which shall come down from God out of heaven, for the glory of God shall lighten it, and the lamb shall be the light thereof (they xxi, 2, 10, 11, 23, 24). While we may now be called upon sometimes to walk in darkness or to find God, in the darkness, we may so live in the light of His face and favor that the darkness shall not We make a specialty of framing diplomas, marriage licenses and pictures of all sizes.

Cullum, another link to that class of men who made the Republican party a party of freedom and justice, has been broken, and another staunch friend of the Negro has passed to the great beyond. We will ever revere his memory for the great part he took in getting for us our civil rights. South Carolina following in the wake of Florida, has enacted a law prohibiting white teachers in colored shoools and vice a versa. This law smacks of narrowness and prejudice, and will be the means of eliminating the services of many loyal white friends and teachers who have done so, much for the educational and moral uplift of our people in these states. Laws of this nature are somewhat contageous and we will not be surprised to see a similar enactment in this and other southern states: That worth makes the man and the want of it the fellow, is indeed typified in the life and accomplishments of Colonel Geo. W. Goethals, the present builder of the great Panama Canal, considered by many the most stupendous and intricate engineering feat ever accomplished by man. When Col. Goethals undertook the work of building the Panama Canal, the project looked much larger than he himself did. To the casual observer, it appeared that an ordinarily sized man was about to undertake the work of a giant. Little did one think that within the stature of the colonel that there were hidden all the necessary constituent parts that go in the make-up of a man sufficiently strong as to be able to bring to a successful conclusion such a stupendous task. Yet such has been the fact. As a result, the world now looks on in wonder and astonishing admiration as the Panama Canal, the Great Ditch, as it is aptly called, nears completion at the masterly hands of its great builder. To succeed in such a great undertaking it was necessary for Col. Goethals to have had the necessary qualifications for such a work. That he had these, there is no doubt. To day, the world recognizing him as one of her foremost engineering geniuses, is ready to place garlands upon his brow as a testimonial of her recognition of his great worth. What greater illustration of this than the frequency with which lucrative and prominent positions, subject almost to his own terms, are being offered the colonel as he nears to completion his greatcane project. To day the city of New York and our National Government are vicing with each other for his services. What a fine example of the job seeking the man rather than the man seeking the job! And why so? It is because there is in the man a personal significance as to make him fit to serve his fellow men in almost any capacity. In this present day life of the American continent when competition is most keen and where there is a constant struggle for the survival going on among the inhabitants thereof, there is much need for such a life and accomplishments as Colonel Goethals,' to which we might point our aspiring boys and girls. In order for our boys and girls to succeed at any line of work which they may choose as their life's work, they must do each present day task well. They should not overlook the details, the little things, of any matter which may be entrusted to their care. On the other hand, they must learn to do each task so well that the same may recommend them to something higher and bigger. This it what Colonel Goethals did and he succeeded. Likewise all successful men, regardless as to vocation, found it nee sary "to deliver the goods" a every opportunity and at every step in order to reach the goal of their ambition. The success which has attended the efforts of Colonel Goetbals is of great significance. It ought to commend itself to each of us. In the meantime we should strive to do each given task so well that when there is a vacancy in an 'upper berth' or when a man higher up is needed, our work will stand-out in such bold relief that our being sought will be the order of the day rather than otherwise.

Bryant, pastor of Wheat Street Baptist church, Atlanta, Ga., who preached the anniversary sermon from Matt 16:16-19; the subject was "The stability and perpetuity of the church." It was a grand sermon; we were much pleased. "My hope is built," was sung by the choir; the Thanksgiving prayer by Rev. C. Wright. On Wednesday night prayer meeting was led by Deacon George Jones and Bro. S. D. Scott; anthem by the chair; lesson, Ps. 1, by Rev. Wright; prayer by Rev. Penick; a duette by Mesdames Blake and Mongin Rav. P. J. Bryant addressed the congregation on "The observations of a black man in Egypt from Joppa to Jerusalem." He told of the customs, dress, religion and many other interesting things that he saw during his visit. The lecture was certainly instructive; an anthem by the chair; prayer by Bro Yancy After the benediction all were invited to the lecture room where an excellent banquet awaited them. The committee spared neither pains nor money in making it elaborate. The pastor, officers and members wish to express their thanks to all who assisted in making the anniversary a success. On Sunday morning the services were conducted by Rev. C. Wright; his subject was "The King's highway." "Blessed Assurance" was sung by the choir; Rev D Wright led the hymn "Jesus lover of my soui;" prayer by Bro. Johnson. There was baptism after these services. There was quite a crowd at the communion. At night Rev Wright read for the lesson Ps. 1451-12. His text was from Gen. 1:27, the subject was "The Creation of man," an excellent sermon. The choir sang the medley "Jesus lover of my soul." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing sight." A large crowd bowed for prayer which was offered. Rev Ford pastor of Bethel Baptist church of Jacksonville Fla., sent greetings and congratulations to the church on the celebration of their 129th anniversary. Attend the B. Y. P.

The morning sermon was taken from the text "Go ye out into all the world and preach my gospel;" the one at night from the text "If any man serve me, him will my Father honor," and the subject for both Sunday school and B.

Tis one year today, dear one, Since from us you have gone, We miss thee but God loves thee best, So He has taken thee in Thy kingdom to rest. Sleep on, dear one, sleep on, From all your toils and cares, Tis hard, dear sister, But God's will must be done, We miss you, how we miss you, Your voice is hushed in our home, And the space you left can't never be refilled Your devoted husband, Mr. W. Morris, Daughter, H. Morris, Mother, Mrs. B.C. Simms, Sisters. Mrs. N. Hite, Mrs. M. Coley, Grandmother, Mrs. H. Ellison. In sad but loving remembrance of my dearest father, Mr. NED DRYER, Who departed this life January 28th, 1913. One you go this day, The robe, hand of death, Has claim you for his own, Time seems long, But sweet remembrance like a dream. And the influence of your sweet and mild life. Still, be while mortal body lingers with us, dust. The sweet remembrance you have left us Is a treasure and a star, That ever shine before us, The influence on your life, Like the fragrance of roses. Still lingers after the visible body Is taken from us. Mid toil and strife you journey on, Till you have reached the shore, Our Maker says thy work is done, Come rest thy weary soul. Your loving and devoted daughter, Mary E. Dudley. In loving memory of our little darling LOUISE CORNELIA MOORE, Who fell sweetly in Jesus January 28th, 1913. Gave us a sweet little sunbeam, To brighten our dreary lives, She was entwined in our hearts nearly six months, Then returned to her home in the skies. For Jesus bids dear little children, To come unto Him and be blest, Baby took the wings of the morning, And flew safe in His arms to find rest. We loved her oh so dearly, But, Jesus loved her best, We'll bow in humble meekness, Knowing that He knows best Baby is a bright little Star in His King- kom, Shining to light the way, To guide us into heaven, Where we'll all be happy some day. Lovingly, Grandmother. Evangelical Ministers' Union The Evangelical Ministers' Union met with Rev. P. E Curry, president, presiding. Devotional service was conducted by Rev. J. W. Maxwell.

Old "Hoo Doo" Defented Yes I have just had a "peep in" at the 1913 yearly report of the Ga. Mutual which is not fully completed. Of course we do not believe in such as "bad luck" etc, but since so many of our friends have kept reminded of the danger of becoming the victim of some form of "hoo doo-ism" we thought it wise to be more careful along business lines in 1913 than we would have been under ordinary circumstances and as a consequence we just literally "cleaned up" for old "hoo-doo." Now we will give you the secret which is a well cultivated habit of progressiveness: then too it is contagious, and if you join the Ga. Mutual, you will "catch it". Branch Office-509 W.

No visitor to Tuskegee in recent years has been more warmly welcomed than Mr. Watt Terry, the real estate dealer and broker of Brockton, Mass. Mr. Terry was invited to speak at the meeting of the National Negro Business League session, held in Chicago in 1912. At that time when he told the story of his success, there was some disposition to regard his statements askance. The Executive Committee of the League, however went to the pains of having Mr. Terry personally appear before it so that his various statements might be verified, and to his credit it may be said, that not only did this investigation prove the truthfullness of every statement made by him, but subsequent investigations among the strongest business men of Brockton, where he lives, show that Mr. Terry has been more or less modest in regard to his achievements. The Executive Committee, thru its secretary, Mr. Scott, made the results of this investigation known to the delegates assembled. Mr. Scott's statements was in substance as follows: In order that Mr. Terry might not be misunderstood or misquoted both he and the Executive Committee desire me to re-state and explain exactly what he meant to have you understand yesterday, namely, that he owns or holds a controlling equity in about fifty (50) separate pieces of property, and that these fifty separate pieces of property contain about two hundred and twenty-two apartments; not that he owns two hundred and twenty-two (222) apartment houses (for he did not mean to say that), but fifty pieces of property in which are 222 apartments, and that all of this property in the aggregate is worth approximately Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000) Dollars. On December 18th, 1913, The Brockton Times, of Brockton, Massachusetts, published the following statement in the news columns: TERRY PAYS TAN OF $10,269. "Watt Terry of Main Street; real estate dealer, is Brockton's third largest taxpayer, his assessment being exceeded only by that of George E. Keith and ex-Goy. W. L. Douglas. Mr. Terry is assessed on $475,400 valuation in real estate. He pays a tax of $10,166,40 on 46 parcels of real estate and on personal property. His name was inadvertently omitted Wednesday from The Times list of heavy tax payers." The Mr. George E. Keith here referred to is the managing director of the Walk-Over Sho Company, while ex-Governor W. L. Douglas is at the head of the W. L. Douglas Shoe Company, well-known throughout the country. Mr. Terry while here at Tuskegee spoke in the chapel Sunday evening, January 4th, to the assembled student body, officers and teachers and to many persons from the town of Tuskegee and vicinity. He confined his remarks almost entirely to the story of his career outside of the real estate business emphasizing particularly the humble way in which he began, and of the various positions held by him, as hostler, as janitor of the Y. M. C. A., as a laborer in the shoe factories and as a Pullman car porter. A humorous feature of his address was a description of his visit to his old home county in Virginia; he said: "A few days ago on my way to Alabama, I stopped off at my old home, and to my great surprise I found more people that had raised me than I ever really knew. In fact it seemed as if every other person I met had something to do with raising me. It really took considerable time to thank all the old inhabitants for the part they took in rearing me." With particular reference to the guiding principles of his life, he emphasized that fact that he was a member of the Young Men's Christian Association, and had been almost ever since he reached Brockton. He never used tobacco and liquor and does not allow them in his home. That first and foremost in all of his business dealings is the thought that every man with whom he has business relations is entitled to "a square deal." On Monday evening in the Assembly Room of the Academic Building, he spoke to the students of the Senior A. Middle, and B. Middle Classes, and to a large group of the teaching body as well. In his talk Mr. Terry resumed where he left off Sunday evening, and told more in detail of his career as a real estate man What Mr. Terry had to say was substantially as follows; "I arrived in Brockton, Massachusetts, thirteen years ago with a capital stock of fifteen cents. I worked for a while as coachman for a family there in the city of Breckton, and then I succeeded in getting into the Young Men's Christian Association where I worked as assistant janitor for two and a half years. After getting tired of my job at the Young Men's Christian Association, through a business man of my acquaintance, I succeeded in getting a position as porter on the railroad. This position I did not care for, and I only worked at it about a month. Brockton is a shoe-making center, and it is extremely hard to get a place in the factories there. I had a friend who was working in the shoe shop and I consulted him as to the best way of getting a chance to work there and learn a trade. Following his advice I went to the white foreman and asked him if he would give me an opportunity to learn a trade in the shoe factory. It is not only hard to get an opening in one of those factories because of the fact that they usually employ union labor, but also because of the prejudice against men of my race which is entertained by the workmen. The foreman, however, talked to me frankly and kindly and said that I would give me a job provided I would work two weeks for nothing. This I was very glad to do, and later on I saw that it paid me accept his proposition; in fact, by working two weeks for nothing I got an opportunity to work on one of the machines even though the men working in the factory did not want me to learn the trade. One of the white fellows working on a machine had been drinking pretty hard and as he had been slighting his work and did not stand very well in favor with the foreman; one day he went off from work and stayed off on a spree for several days; when he came back I was right on the job." * * * * "I own nearly (50) pieces of property with 222 suites or apartments. Among this property are two very large apartment houses with fifty-four suites in the two houses. I also have a lease of seven or more years from the United States Government on a building which I rent them and which is used as the Post Office Building of the city of Brockton, Massachusetts; and then I am honored to rent to the city of Brockton a public reading room and library in one part of the city. "I have no desire to especially call anybody's attention to my individual property holdings, but the last taxes which I paid showed that I own property of an assessed valuation of $475,400, and which is worth, if offered in the market, nearly three quarter of a million dollars. I have given one thousand dollars to the Y. M. C. A., because I owe more to it than to any single agency in finding myself." At the conclusion of Mr. Terry's address, Principal Washington emphasized the fact that any young man with courage and determination could accomplish as lished if he Terry has accompselfly resolves to keep him can and manifest a willingness to take advantage of his opportunities. Mr. Terry also spoke while here to the young men in the Shoemaking Division, and afterwards in the Carnegie Library to the young men of the Carpentry, Brickmasopry, Painting and Electrical Divisions, all of which trades have some relation to the building of houses.

In view of the high cost of living in Paris this amount is inadequate to maintain a family in any degree of comfort, and the married members of the force have frequently to supplement their income as best they can. Some of them earn a few francs by working as market porters during their time off duty. Others do boot repair, and there is one who does old tailoring jobs. Still, in spite of these hardships, there are always plenty of men eager to join the force, about ten candidates being available for every vacancy that occurs. Milady's Mirror Home Care of the Nails. A home manicuring outfit is a great convenience. It should contain two or three smooth, nicely polished sticks, a pair of small, curved, sharp pointed scissors, a couple of emery boards, a nailbrush (not too stiff), a slender, flexible file of hard steel; a box of any guaranteed nail polish, a soft buffer and a small bottle of peroxide of hydrogen, with a bit of lemon and a fine toilet pumice stone. A soap with olive oil in it will be found the best, and a jar of plain cold cream should be provided. If the nails have been neglected and seem clogged with dirt and grime fill them with cold cream, rubbing it in well; then with a piece of fine old line, remove the dirt from one set with the nails of the other hand, never with an instrument of steel. A little white vaseline should be on hand also, as it heals and helps to prevent brittleness. After the soaking rub in the vaseline well, then use the brush and clean suds, warm, but not hot. The nails are then ready for the careful looking over to rid them of any ragged bits of flesh clinging to the sides and base. The stick should be dipped into the peroxide and passed around the nails as well as under. This helps to whiten and cleanse them. If there are callous places use the toilet pumice with the soapy water, rinsing well afterward. Stains may require the juice of a lemon, but cold cream should be applied after to prevent the roughness that would otherwise be caused by the acid, and great care must be taken not to cut the skin around the base, or it will remain ragged, as it is really a "selvage." Filing Finger Nails. Before beginning the home manicuring the file, which should be a thin, flexible one, should be used. The nails are then in a condition to stand this, as after the soaking they will be too soft. They should never be allowed to grow too far beyond the tip of the finger. Long, pointed nails are entirely out of style, if they were ever in, as a woman does not want the talons of the Chinaman at the ends of her pretty fingers. So, in the filling, rub them down to pass just a trifle beyond the finger itself, rounding them nicely, and do not file the sides down too closely, as the natural support is then withdrawn, and this causes handnails. Often a nail will persistently break or show a flaw in the same place for years. As the new nail grows the split or crack seems to come naturally, and the only cure is to watch that nail, using the emery board to smooth off the first sign of the flaw. Ridged Nails. The little emery boards should be used daily to remove any roughened edges from the nails, and it is advisable to use these every day instead of the steel file. Where the nails are scaly and ridged it shows an excess of acid in the blood. Those afflicted with rheumatism often find their nails ridged as they grow and the ends will break off in fine scales. Some treatment for the disease itself should be used, and, in addition, a small piece of wash leather, dipped into powdered pumice stone, will make the nails fairly smooth, but there should also be used a little thick gelatin. Dip each nail in this at night, wrap the fingers separately in old linen and let it remain all night. Dip each into warm water next morning. This helps greatly in preventing and curing the scalliness. Simple Nail Powder. 'A good nail powder is made of a quarter ounce of talcum powder, boric acid and starch, also powdered very fine. Add a few drops of carmine tincture. Mix the powders and add the tincture. Pass the whole through a fine sieve three times, forcing out all lumps. Coat the nails with a very small bit, rubbing it in well with the fingers; then use the buffer lightly. If too much is applied it should be rinsed off, the nails carefully wiped dry and then the buffer used, finishing by rubbing the nails of one hand on the palm of the other, a natural polisher. Too Much Manicuring. When the finger nails are constantly breaking and seem soft and brittle there is either something wrong in the general health or they are improperly cared for. Many women in the effort to have nice nails scrub and file and polish all the health out of them, making them frail and too thin. Usually too much manicuring does the harm, so it is just as well to let them alone once in awhile, permitting them to thicken and harden, so they will stand the ordinary wear and tear of daily use. White Spots on Nails. When white spots . . . in the nails they show a lot . . . tion, although the cause may . . . tled, and they also denote . . . ous condition of the system . . . half ounce of myrrh and rehua and spread over the nails at night, wearing glove fingers. In the morning apply olive oil to remove this, and use almond meal in place of soap for the hands. PHY When is a man most confused? When he misses his train. When are the people most unsafe?

If you want to sell a big bill of goods—watch the barometer. Such is the advice of Dr. Colin A. Scott, professor of psychology in the Boston normal school.

You'll find them active and up and doing with the barometer high; gloomy and irritable with the barometer low.—Boston Post. Putting Them at Ease Precedence is not the only puzzle in official and social circles in any city, but to say the right thing at the right time is equally necessary. "To make mistakes in speech is suicidal," said a state department official recently.

I'm at home myself, and I wish you all were."—Washington Star. Said the Owl to the Quail. A quail, being shot at by a hunter and narrowly escaping' with her life, tremblingly took' refuge in a thicket. From a tree overhead an owl looked down upon her sardonically. "You are very silly," he remarked, "to allow yourself to be hunted so when you have the means of defense ready at your hand. If you were to stop killing the insects that prey on the wheat and the corn man would speedily perish of starvation." The quail thanked him civilly for his advice. "However, if you don't mind," said she. "I think I prefer to go on doing what is so evidently my duty, let others do as they may."—Farm and Flirtesle. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson V.—First Quarter, For Feb. 1, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Luke xi, 1-13. Memory Verses, 9, 10—Golden Text, Luke xi, 9—Commentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns. To pray in reality and know a fulfillment of Matt. xxi. 22, "All things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive," or Mark xi. 24, "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive and ye shall have," or John xv. 7, "If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you." is one of the greatest things that we can attain to. The attainment consists in the abiding just referred to, the fully forgiving every one, keeping His commandment and doing those things that are pleasing in His sight, asking according to His will, asking in faith, nothing wavering, not asking merely for our own pleasure, asking with importunity, as in our lesson (Mark xl, 25, 26; I John vii, 22; v, 14; Jas. l, 6; iv, 3). Another word to be well considered is John xiv, 13, 14, "Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name. * * * if ye shall ask anything in My name, I will do it." This last always seems more plain to me when I consider a man on the road, a commercial traveler, in the name of a business house, a concern or company. This man, representing the firm, can transact only such business in its name as it is engaged in. Anything outside of that cannot be in its name. When the question is asked by the Lord in Isa. vi, 8, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" we naturally ask. For what purpose does He wish to send us? Then we think of some of our Lord's sayings when He was here on earth: "The living Father hath sent me;" "I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me;" "My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me and to finish His work" (Jóhn iv, 34; v, 30; vl. 38, 57). Then we remember His words to His Father concerning His sent ones: "As Thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. They are not of the world, eeth as I am not of the world." Also His words to the disciples after His resurrection, "As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you" (John xx, 21). Our lesson says that "as He was praying in a certain place * * one of His disciples said, "Lord, teach us to pray" (verse 1). Then He gave them this prayer, which He had also given on a former occasion (Matt. vi. 9-13); spoke of the necessity of importunity and of every one asking receiving, and that if parents knew how to give good gifts to their children how much more would the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit (or, as it is in Matt. vil. 14, good things) to them that ask Him. It seems necessary, therefore, that we must know and understand our relationship to the Father as His children if we have become such by redemption, our business in this world as such, that we may be wholly engaged in it, the privilege of constant communion with God concerning all things for which we are here and the assurance that He will certainly see to the supply of all that is needed to carry on His work. He being all wisdom and having all power, we must have unbounded confidence in His management, in His way of doing things and in His time for attending to our needs. All this and much more is included in this prayer, the petitions of which those who read my notes know that I am in the habit of associating with the beatitudes of Matt. v. 1-12. Luke tells us that at the time of His baptism He was praying; that before He chose the twelve He continued all night in prayer to God; that at the time of the transfiguration He went up into a mountain to pray, and as He prayed the fashion of His countenance was altered (ill. 21; vi. 12; 1x. 28, 20), and now, when He had ceased praying in a certain place, in answer to a request from one of His disciples, He taught them this prayer. None but true believers, who have become children of God by receiving Christ, can honestly say "Our Father who art in heaven." Concerning all others see John vill, 44; I John ill, 12. Only the poor in spirit can ballow His name. Unbellievers who will not submit to Him are proud in spirit. Those who mourn because of abounding iniquity long for the coming of His kingdom. The meek and lowly love His will rather than their own and want it done on earth as in heaven. Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness trust Him also for dally bread. Although as children of God we have the forgiveness of all our sins (I John 11, 12), yet we need constant forgiveness and, being forgiven so much, are merciful to others. We fear lest we see not the hand of God in all things and therefore desire the pure heart which hates evil and the evil one and longs for the reign of the Prince of Peace in us and in the world, that the kingdom, the power and the glory may be manifestly His. The importunity reminds us of Isa. lxii. 6. 7. where believers as the Lord's remembrances are urged to take no rest and give Him no rest till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth (see margin and revised version), for that will mean the coming of the kingdom.

Every child likes an occasional sweet, and an occasional sweet in the way of dessert is not only not harmful, but good, for the little one. The sweet should be eaten immediately after the meal; hence it can be served as a part of the dessert. The teeth should be cleaned, of course, after every meal, and incidentally the child who once forms the habit of brushing its teeth regularly will be uncomfortable when it forgets to do so. The teeth should always be thoroughly washed after eating sweets of any kind. Treats Between Meals. If candy is indulged in between meals the mouth and teeth should be immediately washed. Of course candy should not often be indulged in between meals, but a little milk chocolate eaten at a specified time between meals is not so harmful when the teeth are washed as when they are not washed, for the sugar remaining in the mouth forms an acid which causes the enamel of the teeth to decay and so leads to serious cavities. Chocolate Wholesome. Milk chocolate is probably the most wholesome sweet for children. It possesses real nutritive value and so should be considered a part of the child's food; hence it should be given with meals to do the most good as a dessert. Candied Fruit. Candied fruit is wholesome. It can be made at home without much trouble, but it can be bought in good quality of any reliable dealer. Candied fruit peel- lemon, orange and grapefruit-is difficult of digestion and should not be confused with candied fruit when planning a treat for children. Old Time Candy. Barley sugar is not injurious. It possesses the disadvantage of molasses candy-it must be held a long time in the mouth in order to be dissolved But if a stick of barley sugar flavored with some pure fruit juice be given after dessert no ill results will be produced. Molasses Candy. Molasses candy may be given to children as a part of dessert. It should never be given between meals. It is wholesome, to be sure, but it is necessary to keep it in the mouth for a long time, and during that time it causes the digestive juices to flow unnaturally; hence it should only be eaten at meal time. Correcting Knockknee. In cases of knockknee in young children there is weakness of the ligaments and muscles connected with the knee joint. To correct this give the child two baths a day, with sea salt in the water. After the baths massage the knees for ten minutes with a little coconut oil. He should take at least two pints of milk per day. Mix it in this way: Milk, twelve tablespoonfuls; water, two tablespoonfuls; limewater, one tablespoonful; cream, one and a half teaspoonfuls; sugar of milk, one teaspoonful. This makes eight ounces. The limewater will strengthen the bone. Give the little boy as much fresh air, light and sunshine as he can possibly get. Sugar Sifter For the Kiddies. Sugar Sitter For the Kiddies. Seventy-five cents is the price of a sugar sifter that would surely bring joy to the heart of any child. The sifter is no more than a porcelain or china dog, with holes in the top of his head, from which sugar sifts. The dog an overgrown, sprawling puppy, from appearance, looks at the beholder with a ridiculous grin on his china features that brings a smile ever to a grownup. Children appreciate quaint things of this sort and when they are purchased for the nursery table the little ones try to take care of them. The ordinary nursery dishes are too often carelessly handled. Toy For Baby. Tumbling dolls in the shape of small baby heads of indestructible character, fast end in roly poly little balls of pink and white silk, are sold. They are ideal gifts for the small baby, for they cannot be destroyed nor inflict hurt of any sort, they are so soft and rounded. When they are knocked over they cheerfully right themselves, and so would bring comfort to both baby and nurse. Baby's Food. The following is recommended by one authority as a good way to prepare a six-months-old baby's food: Milk, seven tablespoonfuls; water, three tablespoonfuls; limewater, one tablespoonful; cream, one teaspoonful; sugar of milk, one and a half teaspoonful. This makes five and a half ounces and is sufficient for a meal. Baby should be fed every three hours. --- Regulating Diet. To prevent the occasional little attacks of sickness which sometimes come to little folks with weak stomachs after meals train the child to sit still for ten minutes after each meal, and half an hour before give him or her much bicarbonate of soda as you can hold on a dime in a spoonful of water. Care should be taken to regulate such a child's diet. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD WHEN EGGS ARE AVAILABLE. THE reduction in the price of eggs as spring approaches and the ad- vent of Lent turns the housewife's attention to methods of serving eggs. Some delicious ways of preparing them are here suggested: Scalloped Eggs.-Take six eggs, slice them and season with salt, pepper, one teaspoonful each of chopped parsley and grated cheese. Cover with one pint of white sauce made with stock. Sprinkle with one-half cupful of cracker crumbs, dot with butter and place in oven until a light brown. Nourishing Preparations. Eggs Piquant.—Take six eggs, a quarter of a pound of cheese, one-third of a cupful of cream or milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one teaspoonful of mustard, one-half teaspoonful of salt and a dash of cayenne. Shave the cheese into thin chips, butter an egg dish or a small baking dish and spread the cheese in it. On the cheese arrange in small portions the tablespoonful of butter; mix salt, cayenne, mustard and cream; pour half of the milk over the cheese, break the eggs into the dish, and after pouring over them the remaining milk place in the oven and bake. Parmesan Eggs.—Tate six eggs, boil them hard and take off the whites and cut them up into large pieces. Mash the yolks smooth with one tablespoon of oil, one of mustard, a dash of paprika, salt and two drops of tabasco sauce. Mix the whites with a cupful of white sauce and put the yolks through a ricer. lay the whites on hot buttered toast sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and place the yolks on top. A Delectable Dessert. Egg Fluff.—Take four eggs, three gills of milk, sugar to taste and lemon rind and vanilla to flavor. Put the milk in a saucepan with sugar to sweeten it and add the rind of half a lemon. Let this steep slowly at the side of the range for half an hour; then remove the peel. Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs and whisk the whites to a stiff froth and no liquid remains. Bring the milk to a boiling point, drop the egg froth—a tablespoonful at a time—and keep turning them until sufficiently cooked; then place them in a glass dish. Beat up the yolks of the eggs, add them to the milk, mix thoroughly and then strain through a wet cloth. Put into a bowl and set the bowl in a saucepan of boiling water. Stir it one way until the mixture thickens. Do not allow it to boil, else it will curdle. Pour this custard over the eggs. They should rise to the surface. Serve cool. Anna Thompson. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD MAPLE SUGAR DESSERTS. DINNER MENU. Mock Turtle Soup. Roast Shoulder of Veal. Stewed Tomatoes. Fried Oyster Plant. Maple Sugar Pie. Coffee. WHEN the housewife can avail herself of a good quality of maple sugar she should do so as it makes one of the most wholesome of desserts. Some hints for sweets made of maple sugar are given here. Made With Nut Meats. Maple Cake.—Mix half a cupful of butter creamed with one cupful of broken and mashed maple sugar, half a cupful of sour milk, half a teaspoonful of soda, half a teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-fourth teaspoonful of nutmeg, two cupfuls of flour and one cupful of walnut meats. Bake in a moderate oven. Maple Caramels.—Take two cupfuls of maple sugar, half a cupful of milk and one tablespoonful of butter. Boil until a firm ball will form between the fingers when tested in cold water. Take from fire, add one teaspoonful of vanilla and one cupful of chopped walnut meats. Turn into a buttered pan and when cool cut in squares. Made Into Pastry. Maple Rolls.—Take bread dough to make as many rolls as are needed. Roll one inch thick. Cream together warm butter and soft maple sugar. Spread on dough and roll as you would a roll jelly cake. Cut off slices one inch thick, lay in buttered pans, cover, let rise and bake. Maple Sugar Pie—Take one and a half cupfuls of milk and pour it into a double boiler. Add a cupful of maple sugar broken into small pieces. Let it boil until the sugar is dissolved; then pour some of the milk over a well beaten egg. Return to the boiler and stir in a dessertspoonful of cornstarch which has been dissolved in a little cold water. Stir and cook several minutes longer. Line a deep pie pan with good puff paste, turn in the mixture and bake. The yolks of two eggs can be used instead of one whole egg, and a meringue can be made o' the whites. Add two spoonfuls of sugar to the stiffly beaten whites, spread on the pie after it is baked; then brown nicely in the oven. Anna Thompson . The KITCHEN CUPBOARD DINNER MENU. Brown Potato Soup. Baked Striped Bass With Maltre d'Hotel Sauce. Parisian Potatoes. Baked Salsify. Bavarian Cream. Coffee. SOME nice ways for cooking side dishes for the dinner table are the following: Baked Salsify--Scrape and wash and cut in small pieces sufficient salify and put it into a basin of cold water containing lemon juice or vinegar. Drain and plunge into boiling with a little salt. Cook until. Make a white sauce. Put the drained salsify on a buttered dish, sprinkle over breadcrumbs and small bits of loaf. Bake brown. A Welsh Dainty. Leek Souffles.—Take one ounce each of flour, butter and ham, one pint white stock, a gill of milk and cream, a small onion stuck with a clove, six peppercorns, three whites of eggs, one half pint well reduced leek purée, a pinch of paprika pepper and salt, souffle cases. Melt the butter, mix the flour with it and let it cook without coloring. Boil up the stock with the onion and peppercorns and let it reduce to half its original quantity, which would be a gill. Boil up milk and cream together, add to the roux and strain in the stock carefully; cut the ham into small pieces and add also. Stir the sauce well until it boils and let simmer until it is well reduced; rub through a fine sieve (take out the ham), add the leek purée, whisk the whites of eggs to a stiff froth and add to the mixture with the seasoning. When the former is sufficiently cool fill up three parts full some souffle cases and bake in a moderate oven. A Delicious Dish.

Melt an ounce of butter, add the flour and cook a little without browning, moisten with the stock and let it boil up while stirring, cook for ten minutes. Now add the turnips to the thickened stock and let simmer for about half an hour. Pass all through a sieve, season to taste with a pinch of sugar, salt, pepper and nutmeg, arrange in a pile on a gratin dish, mask with white sauce, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and divide the remainder of the butter into little bits on the top. Bake and serve immediately. Anna Thompson! The KITCHEN CUPBOARD HALIBUT is one of the most reliable fishes which the housewife finds in the market. It can be bought fresh at almost all seasons, is almost generally liked and makes a substantial dish at moderate cost. Some hints for using it are collected here. Fillet of Halibut.-Take sliced halibut and cut from the bone; roll each of the pieces into shape and fasten with wooden pick until cooked; brush each piece with lemon juice to which have been added salt, pepper and onion juice. Stew fifteen to twenty minutes and serve with hollandaise sauce. This Will Be Relished. Halibut With Oysters.—Take halibut steak, broil and sprinkle with lemon juice. Heat oysters in butter until they curl, season with salt and pepper and pour over the fish. Garnish with parsley or watercress.

Representing the rural schools was a demonstration of school improvement, a section of rural teachers, farm demonstration agents, members of the Macon County Farmers' Institute, and the Macon County Ministers' Union, and students of the Phelps Hall Bible school. It is hard to say which was the more interesting, the pageant of floats representing the agricultural work of the institute, that portion of the parade showing the progress made by the Negro in his farming activities from his pathetic beginning fifty years ago, with a cob pipe, a wooden plow and a steer, to a full understanding of the uses of modern agricultural machinery, such as is taught at Tuskegee, or the plain, matter-of-fact recitals of the Negro farmers themselves of their struggles and achievements, of their hardships and the successes, as they toiled from slavery to independence by hugging to the soil. Equally interesting was the heart-to-heart talk of Dr. Booker T. Washington who in his commonplace and effective manner disregarded the splendors of the magnificent pageant that began the conference activities and sought to disabuse the minds of the Negro farmers from any vainglorious spirit of boasting over what they had accomplished. He sought to have them do more to put themselves on the way to absolute independence, to make themselves valuable assets to the community, and the forerunners of great material prosperity by constant industry, twelve months in the year on the farm, and by practicing common-sense economy. In his usual vigorous and emphatic manner he attacked the system of advances and sought to show the Negro farmer wherein he was not only losing himself in the constant pursuits of that practice, but that he was fast on the way to getting out of touch with the progressive spirit of the age. Many a Negro farmer could be seen in the audience who appeared to drink in every word and who seemed to realize that all the noted educator had to say about the wastefulness and senselessness of having some man furnish money for some other man to live upon, when that man had at his command a sufficiency for the sustenance of himself and family, was perfectly true. NEGRO CONFERENCE DECLARATIONS For the twenty-third time the Tuskegee Negro Conference says to the Negroes of the south "Stay on the soil, buy land, improve your home, have more gardens, raise your food stuffs, build better churches and schoolhouses, lengthen your school terms, and have better equipped preachers and teachers." The report made here today that 225,000 Negro farm owners have acquired 20,000,000 acres of land, an area greater than the State of South Carolina, and the many instances of improvement in methods of farming, in building better farm homes, and in improving rural churches and schools, indicate that the advice of the conference is being heeded. There is, however, much room for improvement along all lines. Almost 80 per cent of the Negro farmers in the south still rent the soil that they till. A large majority of the farm homes are yet without gardens—too many of our people are still living out of the stores. We find that there is too often a tendency for a farmer to buy too much land. The Conference strongly advises the people when buying land not to buy more than they can profitably farm and successfully pay for. The Conference respectfully requests that through individual planters, state aid, and otherwise, more be done to improve Negro rural schools, to provide more prizes for Negro farmers, and more agricultural demonstration agents to teach the farmers on the soil. We would also respectfully call attention to the pitiable condition of the majority of Negro rural schools, too many of which are still unprovided with school buildings, have teachers receiving from $15.00 to $18.00 per month and terms only two and three months in length. The conservation of Negro Health, the subject for discussion at the annual Workers' Conference created widespread interest throughout the south. The Department of Health of the State of Louisiana sent its two health cars to the Conference as an exhibit, and lectures on health and sanitation were made by Dr. Oscar Dowling, an expert of th Department.

Forming the basis of many of the discussions and pointing out more surely than other method the woeful loss to the Negro and the nation by reason of unsanitation, disease and premature death, charts prepared by the Department of Research and Records under the direction of Monroe N. Work, had been prepared, and were exhibited throughout the Conference room. The charts told the story of the next fifty years, a sort of forward look, a picture of fifty years of health improvement in preparation for efficiency. In the long series of charts the story was graphically told and the lesson went home. That the death rate which in 1913 was 24 per 1,000 Negro population could be decreased in the next fifty years to 12 per one thousand was the first statement made. Other charts told the stories in such language: "In 1913, the average length of Negro lives about 35 years: by 1933 average length of Negro lives can be 50 years. "Tho three graces of health Pure Food, Pood Air, Pure Water. "A sufficiency of pure food, pure air, and pure water would add at once 10 years to the average of Negro lives. "Fifteen years could be added at once to the average human life by applying the science of preventing diseases. Diseases most fatal to Negroes: diseases of infancy 27 per cent of all deaths; tuberculosis, 18 per cent; pneumonia, 11 per cent; diseases of the heart, 8 per cent; diarrhea, 6 per cent. "450,000 Negroes in the South seriously ill all the time, 18 days a year for each Negro inhabitant Annual cost of sickness of these 450,000 Negroes, $75,000,000. "112,000 Negro workers in the South sick all the time. Their annual loss in earnings, $45,000.-000. "225,000 Negroes in the South die annually. 100,000 of these deaths can be prevented. "600,00 Negroes of present population will die from tuberculosis. 150 of these can be saved. "Annual funeral expenses of Negroes in the South $15,000,000. $6,500,000 could be saved. "Annual loss to South in potential earnings, because of preventable deaths among Negroes, $170,-000,000. "Sickness and deaths cost Negroes of the South $100,000,000 annually. $50,000,000 of this amount could be saved." The annual financial loss from Negro sickness and deaths in important cities in the South was shown in one chart as well as the loss to certain States in the South. Other charts showed loss to farming interests, economic loss to the South, declaring that $150,000,000 of this amount could be saved. Still another chart stated, "This $150,000,000 would provide good school houses and six months schooling for every child, white and black, in the south, concluding, it would pay the South to spend $100,000,000 annually to improve Negro health." DANCE THE WORKERS CONFERENCE Because of the high death-rate among our people and the great importance to the South of the conservation of Negro health, the Tuskegee Workers' Conference says to the colored people of the South: Observe the rules of health and the laws of sanitation, provide for yourselves plenty of pure food, fresh air and pure water—nature's three great health preservatives. It is urged upon the colored churches throughout the South that they give special attention to disseminating information concerning health. Every colored minister, school teacher, and physician is asked to constitute himself a committee of one to teach health and sanitation to the people. This Conference wishes especially to emphasize the fact that disease in general knows no color line, therefore people, white and black, get together for health improvement. It is respectfully urged that in every community there be a closer co-operation between white and colored people for health conservatism. Recognizing that the Southern Sociological Congress is one of the most potent factors for uplift in the South, the Tuskegee Workers' Conference respectfully asks that this Congress at its coming session give special attention to the bringing about of closer co-operation between the white and colored people for health improvement. Death Mrs. Nancy Smalls, wife of Mr. David Smalls, deacon of First African Baptist church, was buried from this church on last Sunday. A large crowd was present at the funeral. --- In the Crater of Vesuvius Frederick Burlingham, an American newspaper man, has just returned to London after performing one of the most hair-breadth and dangerous exploits of the period.
