WILL HOLD QUARTERLY
MEETING AT PRESBY -.
TERIAN CHURCH. |
Large Crowd Expected Out—
League Has Accomplished
Much .Good in cltjinterest-
ing Reports Expected.
The local branch of the Nation-
al League on Urban Conditions
Among Negroes will hold its
third quarterly meeting Monday
night at Butler Presbeterian
Church, East Broad and McDon-
ald streets.
A large crowd is expected to
be present at the meeting and the
work for the next quarter thor-
oughly gone over.
The league’s latest triumph
was an old folks picnic which was
given during the month of June.
The affair was one of the most
commendable ever accorded the
poor‘of the city and by it many a
neglected poor person was treat-
ed to an outing which they would
not have received but for the
‘kind offices of the league. The
outing is still the topic of dis-
cussion among the poor who
were able to take it in and mem-
ories of the affair will long linger
in their minds.
Aside from this the league has
done much for the poor children
of the slums and at the meting
Monday night several new mem-
berships will he brought in.
The meeting which will con-
vene promptly at 8:30 o'clock
will be presided over by the pres-
ident. .

The twenty-first session of the

jurisdiction is 14,558, there being
16 courts and go juvenile courts.

LARGE CROWD AT BOXING
fe. CONTEST
Another Bout Wednesday Night
At Lincoln Park
ine three hundred or more
spectators who witnessed the
boxing contestaat Lincoln Park
‘Wednesday night more than got
their money’s worth, all four of
the bouts furnishing many an
exciting moment, The two pre-
uminaries aud the semi windup
were the real features of the
evening §the main bout furnish-
ing buthttle excitement. _ The
first preliminary between young
Georges Dixon and Kid Black
was areal hair raising fisticuf,
the boys mixing it on every oc-
casion and furnisning the spec-
tators a contest which alone
would lijve been worth the price
of admigsion. Young Dixon was
the more skillful of two, putting
over more telling blows and was
given the discision. Thesecond
preliminary between two lacal
boye was also a spirit fight. The
semi windup between Walter
Johnson and Battling White
was tho real class of the evening.
Johnson though being outweigh-
ed about thirty pounds held his
heavy and more rangy opponent
to 4 draw and drew _ first
blood with a stiff upper swing to
the jaw. In the first three
rounds of the bout the larger
man seemed to have a shade the
better of the fight but from that
until the énd of the sixth he
seemed to be tiring and Johnson
got in the more telling licks,
There was evidently bad blood
between the men and a knock
out was tried by each, but with-
outavail. Ofthe two men the
smaller was easily the more sci-
entific and his blows were better
placed, The bout was declated
adraw. A return fight between
the two would furnish an excel-
ent main bout, but the distance
should at least be ten rounds.
‘The main bout between Kid Wil.
liams and Alabama Blossom was
tame in every respect, the latter
covering up repeteadly after the
firet two rounds, making buta
feeble attempt in getting in a
lick. Williams was -easily -the
master of his opponent but sat-
isfied himself withagetting in
little jabs to the face, seemingly
at will, The decision was given
to Williams at the end of the
sixth round, both man emerging
from the fight showihe but little
evidence of havingibeen in a
scrap. Ike Griffin, 2 local favor-
ite, was at the ringside and of-
fered a challenge to any man_at
165 pounds, Another boxing
contest will be held at the park
next Wednesday night and Man-
ager Joe Jennings promises as
good a program as that of this
week. The price of admission
will be 26 and 50 cents.

$50,000 Negro Pub-
lishing House in
Nashville
MR. IRA T. BRYANT LEAD-
ING FACTOR IN-1TS
ERECTION
A. M. E. Sunday School Union
to Have Finest Negro Publish-
ing House in World—Did
Nearly $50,000 Business .Last
On this page we present to our
readers the cut of Prof. Ira T.
Bryant, and the new publishing
house he is building. The build-
ing is nearing completion and is
to cost $50,000. It will have no
equal as a modern uptodate pub-
lishing house owned by Negroes
anywhere in the world.
When the A. ME. Church
placed its Sunday School Union
in the hands of Prof. -Bryant it
marked the turning point in its
publishing house business, and
time has fully and amply justified
the wisdom displayed in this
particular. }
Prof. Bryant is a progressive
layman, a thorough business man
who believes in his church and
who had a vision, revealing to
him the possibilities of building
up a mammoth printing and pub-
lishing establishment that would
reflect credit, upon his church and
the race,
Year by year the out put of
the Sunday School Union has
‘increased. Its volume of busi-
ness reached nearly $50.000 dur-
ing the last year and all because
of the facilities to publish: any-
thing that anybody wants. There
is in this establishment $30,000
worth of improved machinery
and material, all*installed since
the present secretary took charge
The .wonderful strides made
by this young layman of the
church demonstrates clearly
what may be done by any ag-
| gressive and progressive young
| business man.
Prof. Bryant’s great achieve-
ments will do more than any-
thing else towards convincing
the great A. M. E. Church of the
feasibility of having one great
publishing house in which all of
the business of the church, un~
divided, may be more casily
done, thereby saving many thous~
and dollars to the ¢hurch and
placing it indisputably on the
forefront of all racial entesprises.
Wedding of Colored Parties
A marriage of colored parties
which is of some interest took
place last night at the colored
Baptist Church, Corine Gray,
niece of Rev. Henry Miller of
this city, and Martin Baxter of
Savannah being the contracting
parties. Corine Gray is well
known in Riedsville, having been
raised here and is respected by
all. Baxter was employed in 2
local barber shop for several
months and gained a reputation
for honesty and integrity.
They will make their home in
Savannah.—Tattnall Journal.
Mr and Mrs. Baxter are re-
siding at 504 Park Ave. West.
After a number of experiments with the use of a vaccine which it was hoped would be effective in rendering horses immune from attacks of glanders, the federal department of agriculture has announced that the vaccine is a failure and advises horse owners against using it.
It is a humane thing to let the hen with the brood of chicks out of an evening or in the middle of the day to dust and stretch her legs and wings. If one can imagine himself in a coop for a week at a stretch in hot weather the service mentioned will be the more cheerfully rendered.
The Massachusetts forestry department is making an effort along the line of trying to reclaim the commonwealth lands of the tip of Cape Cod by planting trees there and sowing beach grass. If these two things can be successfully done it is believed that the shifting of the sands by prevailing winds can be prevented.
There recently passed the upper house of congress an agricultural appropriation bill carrying the huge sum of nearly $20,000,000. This will mean a more effective as well as more extensive prosecution of agricultural experiment and demonstration work in all parts of the country than has ever been carried on before.
The press bulletin of the United States geological survey calls attention to the discovery of an important deposit of asbestos some thirty miles north of Globe, Arlz. It is found with limestone and has a remarkably fine fiber, a yarn spun from it .03 of an inch in diameter, being strong enough to support a weight of fifteen and a half pounds.
It is estimated that to properly harvest the bumper wheat crop which will be ripening in Kansas 40,000 hands will be required besides the number usually required. Many counties that did not ask for help last season are asking for as high as 3,000 hands this year. The figures given are furnished by the state's free employment bureau.
A good many housewives may not be aware of the fact that beans and peas will boil tender in a much shorter time in soft water than in hard; that onions and a number of other vegetables boiled in soft water tend to lose their flavor rapidly, and that for extracting the juice of meat for broth soft water is best, and hard water or soft water containing; salt is preferable if the juices of the meat are to be retained.
A Canadian reader, reporting his experiences in the Itral New Yorker, tells of having much success in the catching of sparrows with the aid of one of the small pocket flash lights. The sparrows were poked from their roosting places by fish poles and at once flew toward the light, being seized as they reached it or falling to the floor, where they were easily caught. He reports that all the sparrows in a barn can be got by this method in fifteen or twenty minutes.
The short crop of apples in a good many sections this season is due to the fact that the trees had an overload of fruit last season and the further fact that it was very dry during the three or four weeks preceding the ripening season. Fruit buds for the following season's crop are formed during the period mentioned, and the trees being put to it to furnish nourishment for the fruit already set formed no buds. This is one of nature's wise precautions for the protection of the life and vitality of the tree.
A well known melon grower claims that he sometimes gives his melons a special flavor in the following interesting manner: When the melons have attained full size and just before they are ready to pick he takes a strand of yarn, puts one end in a bottle of sugar slurp, containing the flavoring extract desired and by means of a darning needle runs the other end through the stem of the melon to be treated. He states that in dry weather a melon will absorb half a cupful or more of the sweetened extract, which imparts a delicious flavor.
The lad whose high school training has not served to make him consider it unbecoming for him to buckle in and load and spread a good sized manure pile has a proper notion of the value of education. On the other hand, the boy who thinks his diploma sort o' puts him above work of this kind, or the girl who gets it into her head that such evidence of scholarship puts her above dishwashing and mopping serves as a mighty poor sample of the output of an educational system, is doomed to lots of grief in the days ahead and is more than likely to prove of mighty little comfort or help to those who have sacrificed most in his or her behalf.
Those who are not interested in poultry raising have little idea of the extent to which the business in the shipment of day old chicks is now carried on. One Ohio firm claims to have a capacity of 85,000 day old chicks a week. The writer saw a shipment from this firm the other day consisting of more than 500 Brown and White Leghorns and White Wyandottes. They were a lively lot at the end of their 600 mile trip, and but one chick dled en route. The little fellows are shipped in corrugated pasteboard boxes, each containing fifty chicks, and provided with holes to give necessary ventilation. The chicks are not fed or watered en route, as they require no nourishment for a period of seventy two hours after being hatched.

Essad Pasha's Revenge.
A number of years ago Genl Bey, Essa Pasha's brother and, like himself, an Albanian nationalist, was shot by order of Abdul Hamid. For this reason, when the Turkish parliament deposed the sultan, Essa Pasha begged to be sent to Yildiz klosk to tell Abdul of his fate. Accompanied by three others, he presented himself before his brother's murderer and pronounced the formula: "In accordance with Fetuv, the representatives of the nation have decreed your deposition. Follow us." Essa subsequently declared that April 27, 1909, when he thus tasted the sweets of revenge, was the happiest day he had ever known—London Spectator.
Point to Be Remembered.

Orthography of Shakespeare.
Some interesting Shakespeareaana appear in the London Record. It is well known that in Shakespeare's time orthography was little accounted of and that Shakespearea himself would have considered the question of spelling his name in one way and not another a mere waste of time. It is, however, worth recording how the name struck the Bodleian officials when the first folio was given a place and mark in the library. The entries are as follows and were all written in 1623: Shak-sper, Shape-speare, Shakespeare, Shakespeare, Shak-speare. The testimony, so far as it goes, is obviously in favor of the form "Shakespeare" and of the present pronunciation of the word.

A word of appreciation doesn't cost a red cent, but in a good many cases it secures a type and quality of service that mere wages will not. Justly spoken, such appreciation tends to create good feeling and makes possible a type of co-operation that produces most satisfactory results.
A California farm hand who apparently thinks while his hands are busy milking has devised the plan of strapping a one legged milk stool to that part of his anatomy where he sits down. When he finishes one cow and goes to the next the stool goes along with him and is there when he sits down.
Rarely should asparagus be cut beyond the middle of June, and many do not cut it after the 1st. The condition of the bed next year will depend largely upon the care which it receives from this on. Such care should include keeping the bed free from weeds, keeping the soil idose and generous fertilizing if the bed has not been fertilized earlier in the season.
The fact—vouched for by geologists—that the surface of the country is wearing away at the rate of an inch in 750 years isn't half as important a consideration for the average farmer as that involved in taking from the soil more in fertilizing elements in raw crops than he restores to it in the shape of natural and commercial fertilizers, and the growing of leguminous crops.
A Minnesota woman, writing Dr. Bracken of the state board of health, recommends the following recipe for the successful use of face powder: For giving the face the best color get a pot of rouge and a rabbit's foot. Bury them about two miles from home and walk out and back once a day to see that the stuff is still there. On the face of it this would seem to be an entirely successful way to keep the complexion fresh and of the right color.
The poisoned mash bait which is used to kill cutworms is made as follows: Thoroughly mix a teaspoonful of parsley green in a quart of dry bran and then moisten the mixture with a pint of sweetened water, molasses or sugar being good for the purpose. The bait thus prepared should be scattered in little chunks as large as a good sized hickory nut along the rows of the plants. Poultry should not be allowed to run in a garden where this poison has been placed.
THE HOME CANNER.
THE DEADLY CUTWORM.
It Has Been Destroying Wheat In Western Kansas—Preventive Measures.
The mysterious worm which has been reported to be destroying wheat in western Kansas is none other than the common clayback cutworm, according to George A. Dean, professor of entomology in the Kansas State Agricultural college.
When the first report of damage was received an entomologist was sent into the infested region. Infestation was found to be confined practically to wheat fields containing much volunteer wheat and to grass lands and alfalfa fields. Unless weather conditions are unfavorable for growing crops, the worms will probably, says the entomologists, cause no great loss of the wheat crop.
Preventive measures are best for controlling cutworms. If the wheat fields are plowed during the summer and the volunteer wheat is kept down until after seeding there is very little danger. Cutworms often migrate from field to field, in which case a good dust barrier should be constructed in which the worms may be destroyed. Where the worms are migrating or are concentrated in a small area, they can probably be killed by using the polson bran mash employed against grasshoppers. This should be sown in the evening along the edge of the field that the worms are entering.
Growing Alfalfa.
In preparing the land for alfalfa it is best to go slow. The first step is to plow the soil deep and prepare it the first year for potatoes or corn, using ten loads of manure per acre, pulverizing or harrowing the land down in good shape. The corn or potato crop should then be kept thoroughly clean for a season. This will destroy weeds and the ground will have time to settle properly for alfalfa. Then the following spring the land should be double disked, rolled and harrowed. The seed can then be sown with an ordinary wheat drill as follows: Mix, and mix thoroughly, about six pounds of cornmeal to ten pounds of alfalfa seed. The ordinary drill when closed to its finest calibration will sow about sixteen pounds per acre. Thus sixteen pounds of the mixture will mean ten pounds of alfalfa seed. This is considered about the best amount to sow per acre under field conditions.
Another method of sowing is to cover or plug up all but the first, seventh, etc., holes in the drill with the indicator set at the same position as before. This will take about one pound of seed per acre and will put the rows forty-two inches apart, far enough to be cultivated.
Straw as a Fertilizer.
A large amount of straw is shipped from a county in Missouri to a nearby paper and strawboard factory. This straw brings the farmer about 50 cents per ton. A county agent recently found a pile of about 1,000 tons at Skeston ready for shipment. He computes that as a fertilizer this straw is worth $2.50 per ton, in addition to its value as a means of adding organic matter to the soil. He is making a campaign of the county in an attempt to show the inadvisability of the farmers selling their straw and urging its more extensive, use as bedding in stables and feed lots. Straw used as a top dressing on fall wheat has been found to practically insure a good stand of clover on lands where clover is otherwise grown with great difficulty. $^9$
Cure or Kill Trees.
It is very unjust to neighbors to permit trees to grow that are covered with insects or troubled with disease. The disease or insects will spread and finally destroy other trees on the property where they are growing, and the trouble rapidly spreads to neighboring grounds. Either cure or kill. If unable to do the first cut down the trees and burn them, and do it promptly.
A Good Whitewash
A pound of cheap bar soap dissolved in a gallon of boiling water and added to about five gallons of thick whitewash will give it a gloss like oil paint. filicate of soda in the proportion of one to ten of whitewash produces a fireproof cement.
Orchard No Place For Hay.
The wise farmer does not try to raise a crop of fruit and a crop of hay from the same land. By so doing he falls to get the best possible results from elther. Better put all the attention to the orchard and put the hay on some other land.

INOCULATION FOR ALFALFA.
Nitrogen Gathering Bacteria on Roots of Plant Advised.
"Alfalfa is a legume crop, and for its successful growth nitrogen gathering bacteria on its roots are necessary," according to Manley Champlin, assistant agronomist at the State college, South Dakota. "Where alfalfa has been grown for many years the bacteria are likely present in the soil-for instance, certain parts of the Black Hills region. But if the bacteria are not in the soil it would probably be well to inoculate either the seed or the land to produce them."
Mr. Champlin offers the following suggestions on methods of inoculation: "Nitrogen gathering bacteria are prepared in the form known as pure culture by the United States department of agriculture at Washington, and small quantities of this pure culture are sent free to the farmers desiring to make a trial of inoculation. In sending in a request for this material the following facts should be stated: The name of the crop to be inoculated, amount of seed to be sown, acreage to be sown to this crop and the approximate date on which you expect to sow the seed.
"The inoculating material is sent out within seven days of the time the application is received, and it should be used before the expiration of twenty-five days from the date on which it was sent, as the bacteria may be destroyed if held longer than that. Requests should be sent to the secretary of agriculture, Washington, D. C. The state of South Dakota has provided no funds for the making of pure culture at the State College of Agriculture, though
A
A FIELD OF YOUNG ALFALFA.
requests received at the college are usually forwarded to the secretary of agriculture at Washington for attention.
"Karl F. Kellerman of the bureau of plant industry says: 'The inoculation of legume seeds with liquid pure culture is exceedingly simple. The seeds to be treated are placed in a clean bucket, pall or tub and the liquid pure culture applied a little at a time, thoroughly stirring the seeds with the hands, as though one were kneading dough. This will produce a thin, moist coating of culture on every seed. Too much liquid makes the seeds too wet, and if left standing thus for any extended period they may be injured. The small quantity of liquor, pure culture, furnished by the department is sufficient to produce the required amount of moisture on a considerable bulk of seeds, depending entirely upon the size of the seeds and how thoroughly they are stirred with the culture. After moistening the seeds should be spread in a thin layer on a clean floor or on newspapers and thoroughly dried. The complete application requires but a short time and should not be done in bright light or direct sunlight. If inoculated in the evening and spread in a protected place the seeds will be ready for early morning sowing, although seeds thus treated can be stored for a week or more should weather or other conditions prevent immediate sowing.'
"In all cases where inoculation is practiced a strip should be left along the edge of the field without inoculation so as to determine whether or not the inoculation was necessary.
"After the alfalfa or other legume crop is two or three months old an abundance of nodules or small bunches should appear on the roots. These nodules are the homes of the bacteria, and the number of nodules indicates the number of bacteria present. If an alfalfa or other legume crop grows without the bacteria it takes its nitrogen from the soil the same as a grain crop and therefore is not as beneficial to the soil as it is when it gets its nitrogen from the air. Furthermore, the legume will not make the best growth unless it is supplied with bacteria or, on the other hand, is sown upon land which is well manured and rich in nitrogen. After one field is inoculated adjoining fields may be quickly treated in future years by simply scattering soil from the inoculated field upon the new field."
Fruit on Every Farm.
No farm should be without fruit. A farmer who has a taste for fruit growing and land suitable for it should have his orchards of such fruits as his local market calls for and of such varieties as succeed best in his locality.

In a certain literary club years ago one of the members in proposing the name of a candidate for membership mentioned, among his qualifications, that he could speak several dead languages. To this an opponent replied that he never heard the gentleman in question speak but one dead language and he murdered that as he went along.—Christian Register.
Our small earth is not absolutely safe from collision with bodies in space, but is safe from collision with any planet in the solar system and with the sun. To be hit by a planet either the earth or the planet must leave its orbit. This is impossible, and it is also impossible that the earth can leave its orbit and fall to the sun. The earth is being hit by millions of meteors daily, from the size of pin heads up to the largest, several hundred tons in weight.—New York American.
Baron von Kempelen, at the beginning of last century, traveled through Europe with what he described as an unbeatable chess automaton in the likeness of a Turk. Kempelen used to conceal a man in the chest on which the Turk was seated, but so ingenious was the contrivance that for a long time everybody was deceived. Napoleon played chess with the pseudo-automaton when stopping at Schoenbrunn after the battle of Wagram. He lost the first game and in the second delliberately made two false moves. The pieces were replaced each time, but on the emperor making a third false move the Turk swept all the pieces off the board. London Chronicle.

A good story of the younger days of Sir Herbert E. H. Jerningham is told in the London Mall.

Itis indeed gratifying to note
the strong endorsement which the
candidacy for the Senate of Gov.
Slaton is receiving in Chatham
county. A glance ut the roster of
names of the members of the Chat-
ham County Slaton Club is con-
vincing that the leading and
thoughtful citizens of the county
are bahind the candidacy of our
eminent Governor. As indicated
in the speeches of both Gen. Mel-
drim and Hon. A. A. Lavrence,
Governor Slaton is eusily the
biggest manin the senatorial race
toduy. Coming as he does from
one of the first families of the
state, the Governor has always
been a politician of the very high-
est type. Safe and sound onevery
live political issue of the day and
void of every disposition to villify
our people in order to attract at-
tention to hir candidacy, Gov. Sla-
ton has been able to enlist to his
support in every section of our
state, Georgia’s most progressive
and conservative citizens. ‘This
support-of Governor Sluton’s can-
didacy for the Senate on the part
of Georgia’s leading citizens is in-
deed a pleasing sign that dema-
gogy and race antipathy are not
the assets which the good peuple
of the State of Georgia require of
its representatives at the National
Capital. Here’s hoping that when
the primary is pulled off, that
Gov. Slaton will so completely
sweep the field that the political
dirgo of his opponents will be iu
the air.
If there be any one tendency or
trait of our people that comes in
for our sererest condemaation and
of which we ought tq rid ourselves
immediately, it is the one which
impels us to seek the courts for
redress whenever there is a
dispute of the flimsiest sort
against us. This tendency on our
part has resulted not only in our
financial evslavement to the vari-
ous courts, especially the magis-
trate and municipal court, but ina
vindictavenoss of character and dis-
position that savors of no good for
us. Letany one of our number
make the least remark or state-
ment concerning another, and
whether or not the remark is det-
rimental in character, immediate
resort is made to the courts for
settlement. That the above state-
ment is true, a visit any day to
our police or magistrates’ courts
will substantiate. At these courts
there are instances galore to prove
that we are too prone to make the
courts which should be the place
of last resort, the very first azen-
cy in tho settlement of any differ-
ence whether real or fancied that
may arise between us. Thisisnot
as it should be and should there-
fore come.in for the strongest con-
demnation on the part of the edu-
cational agencies, the pulpit, the
bress and the school which are at
work among us- Through these
agencies, our people must be
taught, and that right early, to
understand that itis not always
the part of manly courage or valor
to haul one another before the
courts on account of minor differ-
ences that may arise between thein.
To be able tosettle- our differences
amoog ourselves is far better and
less expensive at all times than to
do otherwise. Asa matter of fact
there is too much of gossiping of
the “hesays, Isay” variety among
us, which should be broken up.
Yet we believe that this can be
donealtogether satisfactorily with-
out the courts. If our educational
agencies will only bestir them-
selves a little more, there is’ no
doubt that there will be improve-
ment rmong us along the lines in-
dicated.
Our people none the less than
our white fellow citizens rejoice
at this time to know shat the much
talked of auditorium building for
Savannah is an immeditte surety.
That the gity has suffered in
growth both numerically and fi-
nancially on eccot nf of the absence

attractiveness than our own city,
rise in wealth, population and in-
fluence while we have remained
practically at é#&tandstill. Thanks
to the progressive spirit now ram-
pant among us, our city is now
beginning to assert her rightful
place among the leading cities of
the Atlantic seaboard. With a
large and commodious auditorium
building in our midst, coupled
with the natural resources, beauty
and convenience of location of Sa-
yvannah, we believe that no city in
‘the South will have the call ou our
city whenever there is casting
about for suitable places for the
liolding of conventions. As others
we hope to see the auditorium
building under headway 1n the im-
mediate future. In the meantime
may the booster spiritso’permexte
each aod ull of us, both white and
black, that Savannah and all for
which the name stands, be known
and heralded in every scction of
our land. =

M. E. Sunday School Union pub-
lishing house, of Nashville, ‘Tenn.,
has made within the past few
years isa,source of much grati-
ficatidn notSonly to the adherers
of the A, M.E. Church but to the
members of the racoin general.
‘The progress of the union has
been -nothing short of wonderful
and demonstrates clearly the wis-
dom in selecting men of brain and
forethought to manage big affairs.
The new $50,000 building which
will afford ample space and facili-
ties for the publishing house is
the finest religious publishing
house in the South and a monu-
ment to which Negroes everywhere
will point with pride. The kind of
progress which the Sunday School
Union is making is the sort which
‘Uhe Tribune takes pleasure in
bringing to the attention of its
many readers. It is the kind
which shows Negro grit, brains,
loyalty and confidence. The board
of manngement should be highly
commended in its unqualified sup_
port of the ideas of Mr. Ira T.
Bryan, the secretary-treasuier of
the union and its leading factor
in the present success of the pub-
lishing house Mr. Bryan has
proved himself to be an excellent
man for the position he holds with
the publishing house, and the sort
of support which he is being ac-
corded by the board of manage-
ment is the kind which men in
every walk of life should receive
when their worth has been estab-
lished. We congratulate Mr. Bry-
an upon the success he has achiev-.
ed i conducting the affairs of the
publishing house and would com-
mend his thorough preparedness
to other young men who expect, to}
succeed in life, whether it be busi-
ness, professional or otherwise. |
Among the Masons.
The beneficent influence of Ma-
sonry has been made _ manifest
during the past decade in the
growing sentiment for arbitration
as a method of settlement of dis-
putes of all kinds. As the spirit
of humanity and_ brotherhood
spreads among mankind, the har-
‘barous resort to brute force is
superceded by she appeal to reason
and justice, and instead of de-
structive strikes and wasteful
lawsuits, disputarts sutmit their
claims to the decision of impartial
judges. Even nations are begin-
ning‘to realize that national honor
may be satistied without the croel
sacrifice of life and treasure.—
Masonic Standard, :
THE GOLDEN AGE
The Ancient Free and Accepted
Mason is, perhaps, the greatest
secret organization which the
world kas ever known. In-all
probability, it is the oldést. And,
in comparison with all other
splendid orders, it is, in our opin-
jon, as well as the opinion of
other Brother Masons, by far the
best.
Masonry, taking the Holy Bible
for its standard, accepts the Fa-
therhood of God; and, vouching
for the most noble and gure in
humanity, proclaims the Brother-
hood of ‘man.
For many years after the build-
ing of King Solomon’s great tem-
ple the Masons were much abused
and vilified. And they have, ever
and anon been exposed to the
abuse of the public and the
| press.--Ex.
We need more fellowship in our
| Masonic lodges. We need more
of that spirit which prompts a
man upon entering a lodge room
to seek out each brother. grasp
his hand in fraternal greeting and
inquire after his welfare. The
selfishness of the age has become
‘proverbial, but a Masonic lodge
ought to be an exception.- The
‘true Mason is his Wrather’s keep.
ere NOL In Ure sense ef sent ity
with Lis persuuul aftsiis, but m2
‘chain of indissoluble affection.—

| MASONRY OUTSIDE TILE LODGE
~There are Masons annd Masons.
| There is the Muson who is per-
fect in his work of the order, 4l-
ways present nt the meetings of
all the bodies, decorated with
charms and pins and rings the ad-
miration of himself and the envy
of the younger brethren.
But examine himeclosely. What
is he outside the lodge room? If
he is selfish in his aims, hard with
his tenants or employes, neglect-
ful of his family, unscrupulous in
his business methods, smutty or
profane iti conversation, deuf to
appeals of the needy; if heis any
or all of these, that man is no true
Mason. He is rather npbinderance
to the order.
The strongest argument against
Masonry is the Mason himself.
‘The world knows, as well as we
Go, what our order. inculeates, and
it also knows far better than we
realize, whether we are practicing
what we profess, acd when it sees
the divergeice between pra.tice
aud precept, it despises you and
the order. -
The unfaithful Mason is injur-
ing the whole fraternity. Asan
individual, he may not care what
the world thinks of, him, bit he
was sworn .to protect the good
name of his‘brethrea andéwlien-he
brings his own go.d name into
disrepute be is inflicting 2 most
serious injury on every other Ma-
son in the-community. ~~
As a secrct organization, the
only knowledge that the world
can have of our order is the effect
thatit has on men who belong to
it. If it tendsto make them good
mer and true, then it will’ judge
well of the institution; if it does
not do this the opinion that will
be formed must be evil.
The only real use Masonry is in
the world is im its effects on men
outside of tha lodge room. Its
teachings and ritual, beautiful as
they are, are only means, not
ends. Weare brought to hght in
order that we may let our light so
shine before men that they may
sec our youd works and -slority
our Father thatis in heaven. If
we fail to do this, we are untrue
to our obligations, unworthy Ma-
sohs.—Masonic World. |
Let us think of what Free Ma-
soury has done for humanity dur-
ing the centuries of the past, how
it has outlived all other organiza-,
tions and comes down to the
twentieth century with the light
of eternal youth upon its brow. |
But we easily know to what its:
wonderful vitality is to te ascrib-
ed. It is to the sublime lessons it
has always taught; to the lofty;
ideals it has always set up before
its votaries; tu the eterna! princi-!
ples it hus always inculcated, and
to the superior manhoud, these!
principles have always attracted
to the order. . 1

It has been proven by the best medical men that many diseases that afflict other parts of the body is caused from neglected feet. The skin is one of the three principal channels by which the body casts off impurities. It is estimated that in every square inch of the souls there are 2,685 sweat glands and these serve to aid Nature in throwing out of the system the filth, the carbonic acid and disease which have found their way into the blood and lymph channel. I treat rheumatism, my foot draft sweat the poison through the soles of the feet I have a fine preparation for sore tired feet, price 25 cents a bottle.

AFTERNOON GOWNS.
Grapes Are Used With Net
For Garden Party and Casino.
GRAPE AND NET GOWN.
It is long since we have had anything more charming than the crape gowns that are being worn for summer afternoon functions. The dainty frock pictured here was donned recently by a fascinating debutante to wear at the garden party given by a Newport society leader. White net was combined with the pink and white figured crape. Net formed the much frilled skirt, the vest and finished sleeves and neck. The wide girdle was of white satin ribbon. Worn with it was a wide rimmed hat trimmed with flowers in small nodding sprays. The silk parasol was in a shade to harmonize with the figure in the gown. White suede shoes and long white silk gloves completed this much admired toilet.
CLOSET SPACE.
Clever Way of Acquiring It in a Small Apartment.
A clever woman added more closet space to the scanty supply her apartment afforded in this way: The hall was of wood paneling up to a height of four feet. She converted every other panel for some distance along one side into an invisible door, so that the space in back of each could be used for storing various belongings.
In one of these shallow closets a rack was built to hold umbrellas. In another were inserted shelves just wide enough to hold the men's hats when not in use. Another closet space was used for whisk broom, dusters and hat brush and still another for overshoes, etc.
This arrangement has proved an inestimable convenience. A careful carpenter was able to do the work without in the least disfiguring the wall.
Homemade Vacuum Bottle
When going plucking make a vacuum bottle out of a big jar if you do not happen to own a regular vacuum bottle. A two quart jar is best. Pack it with ice, keeping the pieces large, with the smaller bits to fill up the crevices, and then wrap the jar (after fastening the top on) with many layers of old newspapers. The ice will keep all day this way.
Cleaning Mirrors
Do not use water on mirrors. Dip a cloth in alcohol and wipe the glass; then use tissue paper to finish. Old newspapers are fine for window glasses. They should be torn and rubbed soft, the panes washed with clear water, wiped dry and polished with the crumpled paper.
A faded straw hat may be cleaned with a paste made of powdered sulphur and lemon juice. Dry it thoroughly in the sunshine, then brush out the powder.
Every housekeeper should keep a roll of parchment paper on hand. It can be used for at least a dozen purposes, from cleaning fish to hulling strawberries.
A dainty little article for the hand bag is a little book of powder papers covered with a pretty bit of ribbon, folded back to form a pocket so that the leaves can be slipped into it.
To get rid of the smell of tobacco smoke put a lump of crystal ammonia into a jar and add a few drops of oil of lavender. Pour a little boiling-water over it and let the jar stand in the room.
Milady's Mirror
Seaside Care of the Hair
Most people, even those who are accustomed to give the hair careful attention, are careless of their locks while staying at the seashore. As a matter of fact, more destruction may be wrought there in a month than can be remedied in six.
Before entering the surf it is a good plan for bathers to place a wet sponge at the back of the neck and let the water fall down the spine. This is to equalize the temperature. If one plunges head first into the water there will be a sensation of dizziness and fullness in the head. This shock affects the scalp and incidentally the hair.
The very best treatment for hair at the seashore is first to use the wet sponge as directed and after coming from the water to take the juice of a lemon and pour over it a cupful of boiling water. When this is sufficiently cool saturate the hair with it and dry with warm 'towel. In ten minutes rinse off with warm water.
Shampoo the hair frequently, using the yolk of an egg well beaten with a cupful of hot water and twenty drops of the spirits of rosemary. Rub this into the scalp, and after ten minutes rinse with warm water and dry.
When inconvenient to shampoo brush the hair well and use the following scalp wash:
Extract of witch hazel, one pint; eau de cologne, eight ounces; chloroform, three drams.
This treatment will cleanse and make the hair soft, glossy and fluffy.
After the Sea Bath.
Many women who bathe in the ocean have no idea of the damage done to the hair by allowing it to dry by sitting in the sun upon the beach. The salt, wet hair and the sun's rays combined have a decidedly injurious effect upon the coloring matter of the hair. It fades blond hair into streaks of dirty yellow and dark brown or black hair into burnt reddish color. Also, it renders the hair bushy, harsh and brittle. Then the fine, sharp sand cuts and irritates the scalp to such a degree as to give the impression of a scalp disease having been contracted. In fact, this sometimes actually happens owing to the itching and consequent scratching of the scalp. There are also germs and microbes in salt water which can, of course, take up their abode in the hair.
The Soap For Summer.
Be careful in regard to the kind of soap you use in summer, and only use soap in washing the face at the night toilet.
Pure castile soap is the very best kind to use. It does not dry the skin and leaves it smooth and soft.
Both morning and night rinse the face in cold water after washing. This is a splendid complexion tonic.
Try softening the water in which you wash with a little oatmeal: The oatmeal should be sewed up in a thin muslin bag and allowed to soak in the water.
You've no idea how wonderfully refreshing to the skin it really is.
Bran Bag For the Skin.
Some women find soap irritating to the skin. The best thing to do in such a case is to use a bran bag instead: When the face is in need of a thorough cleansing, after a trip in the train, for instance, a cold cream bath will remove the dirt, and the bran bath will finish the work in a satisfactory way. To make a bran bag mix equal quantities of powdered oatmeal and bran together and to a pint add one-half cupful of powdered soap. To this add about one ounce of powdered orris root. Fill small bags and use in the bath.
Protection From the Sun.
Before going out, lightly dab a little nongreasy face cream over the skin and then dust lightly over with some very good face powder. This effectively protects the complexion from the evil effects of exposure to a very hot sun, which, in spite of its health giving properties, serves to dry and burn the skin, causing it to wrinkle also if one does not take some such simple precaution as that prescribed.
A little sunburn is becoming, but too much exposure to sun and air is fatal to all complexion beauty.
Nerve Tonic.
When you are tired and nervous a good rubbing all over the body with the lotion given here will be very restful. Lie quietly in bed after the rubbing for half an hour and you will then feel equal to taking up the daily tasks again. Take diluted alcohol, six ounces; cologne water, six ounces, and tannin, ten grains.
Autumn Loss of Hair
It is a well known fact that during the autumn the hair falls more freely than at any other season of the year; consequently one should really give the hair greater attention for some weeks previous and so prevent wholesale loss of it.
Skin Tones.
Lemon, orange and cucumber peels are excellent for the complexion. Let them soak in water used for the bath, as they not only soften but tone and freshen the complexion, keeping the flesh healthy and firm.
Unless farmers are sufficiently interested in farm bureau work to form an effective organization which truly represents the farming interests of the county there is small chance of the county bureau meeting with great success, says the department of agriculture. It is not enough for professional and business men to interest themselves in the work; the farmers must feel that the bureau is theirs, that it is a means by which they can all cooperate in securing for the community at large every possible benefit and not an institution for conferring benefits on them individually. A county organization imbued with this spirit is a necessary preliminary to successful work by a county agent.

HOW TO KILL POULTRY.
Unsightly Product Is Caused by Incomplete Removal of Blood,
"Grasp the chicken, when killing, by the bony part of the skull. Do not let the fingers touch the neck. Make a small cut with a small, sharp pointed knife on the right side of the roof of the chicken's mouth, just where the bones of the skull end. Brain for dry picking by thrusting the knife through the groove which runs along the middle line of the roof of the mouth until it touches the skull midway between the eyes. Use a knife which is not more than two inches long, one-fourth inch wide, with a thin, flat handle, a sharp point and a straight cutting edge."
The above instructions on the proper methods of killing poultry were issued by the department of agriculture. At least 30- per cent. of all the-poultry coming into the New York market is incompletely bled. Much of it is so badly bled that it results in a loss of from 2 to 5 cents a pound, as compared with the corresponding poultry which is well bled and in good order, continues the department. Aside from the bad appearance of incompletely bled chickens, their keeping properties are very inferior. The flesh loses its firmness sooner; its flavor is not so good; the odor of stale flesh and finally of putrefaction comes sooner, and in every way the product is more perishable.
A very large proportion of the unsightly poultry in our markets, aside from the rubbing and tearing of the skins, is caused by an incomplete removal of the blood. This is evidenced by red dots which frequently occur where the feathers have been removed, especially over the thighs and wings, or by the small veins, which mar the appearance of the neck. Generally it is the neck which shows most plainly the presence of blood in the fowl, or that a wrong method has been used in cutting the blood vessels in an attempt to empty them. The neck is the first part to discolor, becoming first red, then bluish red or purple and finally green as aging progresses.
Vitality of Seed.
Assuming that every care has been taken to get seed well adapted to the conditions of culture, it is still important to see that the seed is of good vitality and capable of producing strong, vigorous plants. Great waste of land and labor results every year from the use of seed of low vitality. Poor seed cannot produce good plants, and poor plants give poor returns or none at all. Seed should always be tested before planting and seed of low vitality rejected. Some of this poor seed is introduced to blend with good seed so that it can be sold at a lower price. Some of the worst weeds have been introduced and spread in this way. The loss from weeds, and the cost of fighting them is great and is so well understood as to need no discussion.
Farmers often buy cheap seed thinking that they are saving money, when as a matter of fact they are paying two or three times as much for the small amount of good seed obtained as they would pay had they bought good seed in the first place at twice the rate per pound paid for the poor seed.-A. F. Woods, Dean Department of Agriculture, University Farm, St. Paul.
SOME CHICKEN HINTS.
The cripple and the malformed chicken should be put to death immediately after batching. Such little unfortunates will bring nothing but disappointment. They will give you more care than ten well and whole ones. They will make you sick of the chicken business and give your entire flock a black eye from the first. Kill them the instant they are born.
Lousy fowls are necessarily weaker than fowls that are free from lice. Strength and vitality are quite important factors while the fowls are producing their new suit of clothes.
Corn is a very poor grain when fed extensively. It produces fat at the expense of other tissue, and when laying hens are fed too much corn they soon become too fat to lay.
There is no grain superior to wheat for chickens. It is readily eaten and as a rule laying hens thrive upon it. Those who grow wheat have a fine opportunity to raise chickens and sell eggs, for the, fowls may glean the stubble fields and save much grain that would otherwise be lost.
The person who has never fed grit to his fowls will be surprised at the amount a flock of hens will pick up in the course of a year. The feed dealer keeps the best kind of grit, it being ground granite or other kind of rock.
For the Children
Marie Danaher, Prize
Baby of Brooklyn.
© 1914, by American Press Association.
There was a great parade of babies in the borough of Brooklyn, New York city, a short time ago. It all came about through the advent of baby week, which was celebrated throughout the city. The parade was made in automobiles, and hundreds of little folks were in line, accompanied by their mothers and admirers. The president of the borough and other high officials revelled the parade, together with thousands of people who are interested in the welfare of children. The winner of the prize given for the best baby in Brooklyn was little Miss Marie Danaher. Marie is twenty-seven months old, and she won with a percentage of 98.07. That means that she come pretty near being a perfect baby—that is, so far as health is concerned.

Why is a fish dealer never generous? Because hjs business makes him selfish.
What is it that is enough for one, too much for two and nothing for three and takes but one to make and two to keep? A secret.
Why is a girl not a noun? Because a lass (alas) is an interjection.
Why are lazy persons' beds too short for them? Because they lie too long in them.
Why is a kiss like a rumor? Because it goes from mouth to mouth.
An Extinct Bird.
The great ank, which once lived in great numbers along the North Atlantic coast, going in summer as far north as Iceland or Greenland, is now absolutely extinct. All that is left of this once great bird tribe is a few stuffed skins in museums. The ank was about the same size as a well grown goose, and when standing erect had a height of about two feet. The pursuit of this awkward and harmless bird for its valuable feathers led to its final complete destruction.

There still exists in London a bylaw which forbids a cask of beer to be unloaded between certain hours, but no mention is made of casks containing any other liquor.
Lucerne has on its statute book a law which is not enforced. It prohibits hats of more than eighteen inches in diameter, forbids the use of artificial flowers and imported feathers and orders that a license of seventy-five cents a year shall be paid for the right to wear ribbons or silk or gauze.
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 snugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady; who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall! I've 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
To shave easily and save the blades of safety razors, leave a pleasant feel on the face and make all razors take less stropping, adopt the following plan:
Lather the face well and wash off the lather. That gets rid of all dust. Then with a small brush work into the skin a little vazeline, and without removing this relather the face well, and then shave. The first day or two the plan does not seem so successful, but after that the advantages are very marked—London Field.

Selfishness assumes many forms, and in every one of them may be found the desire to grasp some fancied means of happiness, even at the expense of others. Many things innocently pleasurable in themselves when they come to us in a rightful manner turn into guilty and fraudulent possessions when sought and gained through the losses or pain of others.

There is a moral in this little story of child life.
"Mamma," asked little three-year-old Freddie, "are we going to heaven some day?"
"Yes, dear; I fervently hope so," was the reply.
"I wish papa could go, too," continued the little fellow.
"Well, and don't you think he will?" asked his mother.
"Oh, no," replied Freddie; "he could not leave his business!"

Humorous by Comparison.
Strickland W. Gillilan tells of a hotel waitress who was reading a book and laughing heartily. An impertinent person leaned over her shoulder and exclaimed.
"Girl, what on earth are you laughing at? That's the dictionary you're reading."
"Yes, I know, but it's so much funnier and newer than the line of 'smart talk' the fresh guys give me at the table that I'm liable to die laughing at it some time."—Kansas City Star.

Hadn't Been Taught.
Little Grace, who had recently entered, school, brought home some pumpkin seed one day and told her mother that the teacher said that although the seed was white the pumpkin would be yellow.
"And what will the color of the vines be?" her mother asked.
Grace replied that the teacher had not taught her that yet.
"I know, dear, but we have pumpkin vines in our garden, and you must know what color they are."
"Oh, of course I do, mother, but we ain't supposed to know anything until we're taught," replied Grace convincingly.—National Magazine.
The Gordian Knot.
When one of Uncle Sam's sailors, a man named Gordon, formerly serving on one of the vessels in a West Indian squadron, was taken to the Naval hospital in Washington he described with grewsome vividness to his companions there his adventure with a shark off one of the islands in the West Indies. "I had jest fell over the bulwarks," said the able seaman, "when along comes a big shark an' grabs me by the leg." "What did ye do then, matey?" asked one of the patients. "I never disputes none with sharks," said the sailor. "I let him have the leg."
Her Choice.
They were sisters-in-law and reasonably well disposed toward each other. One was the mother of George, aged six months, and the other was the mother of Marian, aged six months and four days.
"Marian does not seem to grow very fast," said the mother of George, with a suggestion of commiseration in her tonnes "George is much taller"—(height being measured in inches).
"Perhaps he is," replied the mother of Marian coldly, "but Marian weighs more."
"Oh, well," responded the sister-in-law, with a smile of high bred superiority. "of course I should not wish George to be gross."—Exchange.
Opposites.
"It's such a world of opposites," says an observer. "On one side the rich, on the other side the poor. On one side the laughing optimists, on the other side the wailing pessimists. Here the gilded youth who won't do any work, there the ragged youth who can't get any work to do."
He paused, then ended:
"Yes, a world of opposites. On the one hand we see an army of young fellows saving up to get married, and on the other hand an army of old fellows saving up to get divorced."—Exchange.
A Culinary Tragedy.
"What's the matter, dear?" asked Mr. Justwed as he came into the house and found his wife crying as if her heart would break.
"I am so discouraged," she sobbed.
"What has bothered my little wife?"
"I worked all the afternoon making custards, because I knew you. were so fond of them, and—and"— Here she began weeping hysterically again.
"And what, darling?"
"And they turned out to be sponge cakes."
Hard Music.
"Can you make me a sheet iron mandolin?"
"I might, but it wouldn't have much tone. What do you want of a sheet iron mandolin, anyway?"
"I'm trying to serenade a girl, and they have a bulldog. I've busted several instruments on him. Next time I smash him I want to smash him good."—Louisville Counter-Journal.
The Man and the Mummy.
"This," said the guide who was piloting a bunch of tourists through Egypt as he pointed to a mummy, "was a high priest, the wisest man of his day. He lived to a great age." "Was his last illness fatal?" queried the wag of the bunch. "Of course it was," answered the guide, with a look of pity at the other. "That's queer." rejoined the waggish person. "His present appearance would seem to indicate that he was permanently cured."—Chicago News.

They Have Superseded All Other Fabriça For Summer Upholstering.
```markdown
```
CRETONNE CUSHIION CHAIRS.
This is a cretonne season so far as house furnishing is concerned. Cretonnes face us on every side. They are used to cover walls, as door or window hangings, as bed coverings and even in upholstering summer furniture. Two attractive summer chairs of wicker are pictured here. Owing to their shape, the mattress style of cushion is not adapted to them. They have cushions covered with handsome cretonne in futurist patterns.
SUMMER SHOPPING.
Leisurely and Systematic Ways of Doing It Will Prevent Exhaustion.
A plentiful supply of small change is often of great help to the summer shopper. Much tedious waiting may be avoided if one always has the right change. In most of the department stores, of course, shoppers must wait for certain formalities to be gone through with, whether they are to receive change or not. But at certain counters in these stores—at the notion counter usually and sometimes where toilet goods and soaps are sold—the shopper who has the exact change may pocket her purchase and leave immediately. And in anything but a department store exact change makes quick purchasing easy.
If you feel tired while shopping, rest. Exhaustion from heat can almost always be avoided. Rest is one way to avoid it. There are pleasant rest rooms in most of the big department stores, clean and comfortable, where you can relax for half an hour, an hour if need be, and regain strength and composure. If you are very tired, if your head throbs with heat, if you feel really ill from fatigue and warmth, select a comfortable chair; take off your hat, close your eyes and force yourself to relax. As soon as you are really refreshed go home. Leave the rest of the shopping for another day.
The slogan "Shop early!" ought to be sounded in the summer time, both for the shopper and for the clerk, for in summer the early part of the day is surely the coolest. Moreover, in most of the big cities the stores close early in summer, and the woman who shops late in the afternoon is keeping the clerks from much desired rest and recreation.
Cutting Small Pieces of Ice.
When you have a large cake of ice and want a small piece to put in a glass you are somewhat helpless if you have no ice pick at hand. Use an ordinary pin instead of an ice pick and you can have the ice in pieces the size you desire.
Press the pin into the ice as far as it will go and work it back and forth slowly and steadily until the ice splits. Then put the pin in a new place and make another cleft. In this way you can break off piece after piece of any desired size.
Colored handkerchief linen dresses are in great demand. White serge suits are brightened by a touch of brilliant color.
Many shades of green and greenish grays are seen in dress materials. Pretty buttons are of galalith decorated with gilt on Chinese characters. The curiously carved wooden beads from the east are among the most artistic.

Diches of Tea.
The Tavistock, the bachelors' hotel in Covent Garden, is probably the only place in London where a man must drink his "dish" of tea after the fashion of a century and more ago. These dishes are cups without handles. They are larger than those used by our great-great-grandmothers, which would hardly suit the modern masculine demand. The Tavistock dishes are of uniform pattern-white china with a broad blue band.-Pall Mall Gazette-

Negro Business League's Weekly Letter-by J. C. Lindsay
In our letter of last week, we a tempted to call the attention of the public to some of the things with either help or hinder our progress from a business view point. Seeing the rapid progress made by many of the men of the race in this community and the unstated support given to these Negro businesses by thousands of loyal members of the race, we have much for which to feel thankful.
A group of our men was standing on the street a few days since, discussing the information given to the public by The Tribune with reference to the doors of the Wage Earners new banking house being thrown open to the public on Monday, September 7, was heard to say: "Let us see who of this number will be the first to make a deposit in "Our" new bank after the doors are thrown open on that day." This is as it should be. The thoughtful members of the race in this community, are indeed proud of the two substantial and well managed banks which are doing so much for our people in assisting them in buying homes and to begin other legitimate business. We refer to the Wage Earners Savings Bank and the Mechanic Savings Bank, both of which are owned, operated and controlled by the dusky sons of Ham. In Holy writ we are told "As a man thinketh, so is he" Then, the man or set of men with hat or hats in hand or hands, who prefer to go to the back door of the other fellow's business and wait until every other man has been served and the place unmistakably clear and then some little up-start turns to you and say: "Now, old man, what will you have?" when your own kitten and kin can serve you with the very same goods, on the front, with courtesy and polite attention. We are forced to say that in these individuals the above mentioned scripture is fully explained.
In the majority of cases where such errors as are complained of in the above are committed by members of the race, they are done as a matter of down right manners, but on the other hand, it simply because in the majority of cases the persons committing such errors have not given the matter proper thought.
This thought brings us down to the real work of the Negro Business League, namely; to say and do such things as will cause our people to think. In attempting at times to have them think seriously upon certain business propositions, which so vitally concern us from a business stand point, some may criticise our course of procedure and disagree with our methods. Be that as it will or may, our only object is to make you think.
At our headquarters, 457 West Broad street, we had a very interesting and enthusiastic meeting on last Friday night. Many thoughts and lively suggestions were present and ably discussed by Messrs G. H. Bowen, S. A. Grant, J. G. Gary, R. A. Harper, E W. Hus oun, J. C. Lindsay, Henry Star, L. M. Pollard, D. J. Scott, A. S. Singfield, J W. Welcher, S. A. Singfield, Edward Wright, H G. Young, E. G. Young, E. M. Elwards, Chas. A. Lewis, W. L. Vilinams, Jas. Handy, Valdore Gles. Thos. G. Young, R. Gillison, E. E. DesVerney, J. W. Johnson and O. T. Mitchell, Jr., D. O. C. Clayborne, Dr. A. R. Ferrebee, Dr. G. W. Smith, Dr. W. E. Moody, Rev. J. A. Martin, Rev. M. M. Weston and Rev. J. L. Taylor. After these gentlemen had offered many helpful suggestions as to the best methods of handling Negro businesses, keeping them up to the standard, and making them equal in every respect of the other fellows, as is our custom, we then enjoyed a splendid repast (free) and went to our several homes more determined to do something for the race than ever before in our lives.
Rigular meeting 1st Wednesday and 3rd Friday nights of each month, $1,00 to join, 23 cents per month for dues.
To those who read the Negro business League's weekly letter last week, written by Mr. J. C. Lissy: If you noticed carefully, people flatteringly of a preacher who dropped an insurance policy. NvLb me tell you how it was, that reacher belonged to three acres, and dropped the 25 one that he might keep the n int pays $40 per month in c of sickness, accidental or n d $1,000 in case of acc
dental death. The district manager of that insurance, who, by the way, is a very fine looking man wearing eye glasses, keeps a cigar stuck in his mouth all the time and walks like he owns cotton in Augusta, but deceives his walk, came around to see that preacher to ask him to stay in the insurance, that he might use his name on the field as a drawing card. The preacher failed to pay up the insurance after Mr. hollow head's long speech which was filled with hot air, but spoke nothing about "he wasn't gwinter carry any more Nigger insurance," as was falsely written. He seems to know language, but couldn't spell bachelor (his way batchelor.) By publishing the preacher he will either write new business or lose some of the old that has already been written. He reminds me of the ox that stood on the track to fight the train, and the Irishman said to the ox, "I admire your nerve, but d—— your judgment," read between lines.

Slade Bill Killed
Atlanta, July 22.—The House to-day promptly killed a bill by Slade and others of Muscogee to prescribe additional qualifications for voters. The measure provided that no man should be allowed to vote unless his character was such that he could "be trusted with a virtuous woman without fear of criminal assault in any and all secluded places even when not protected." The House after a brief debate disagreed to the favorable report of the committee by a vote of 108 to 16, the effect of which is to kill the bill.

H. Rogers; duet by Misses Blanch and Florida Johnson; solo by Mrs. Fisher; paper by Miss Albertina Smith; offering; claronet solo by Mr. Jas. H.

First Bryan Baptist Church
On Sunday morning the services were conducted by Rev. Sutton. From the words "Enlarge your spiritual tent," he preached a very instructive sermon. The choir sang "Tis Heaven There." Rev. Wright led the hymn "A mother may forgetful be." At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Job. 23:1-17. His text was from Job. 23:1 and 2. The subject was "Believers Approached to God." The sermon was so eloquently delivered that those who were present were apparently much impressed. The choir very appropriately sang "God will take care of me." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing sight." Quite a large number accepted the invitation and knelt for prayer which was offered. Our Sunday school and B. Y. P. U., are in a very prosperous condition and under the present leaders, Mr. James Crawford and Mr. A. B. Singfield, respectively, are gaining members at each service. You are always welcome at any of these services.

Treatment for Riggs Disease
Rigg's disease or pyorrhoea, a disease which is caused by constitutional and local condition of the system can at last be cured. Pyorrhoea alveolaries or Rigg's disease which is common or prevalent in the mouths of the clean as well as the unclean, is encouraged by allowing calcarious deposits to find lodgment on the teeth and under the gums on the roots thereby causing the gums to become irritated. If this deposit is allowed the teeth and gums become highly inflamed, followed by a formation of pus which makes it necessary for the diseased teeth to be taken out.
Since the great treatment Emitine Hydrochloride has been discovered, many teeth have been saved. Persons suffering with this dreaded disease can be treated at the dental parlor of Dr. A. R.Ferebee, Gwinnett and East Broad streets, to whom the treatment has been sent.—Ad.
