NEXT WEEK Interesting Subjects Pertaining to Negro Business Life to be Discussed—Delegates to be Given Royal Welcome. Boston, Mass., August 7-To those who have watched the development of the National Negro Business League since its organization fifteen years ago, it has been to them something in the nature of a barometer of Negro Progress. The program for this year, which has just been issued, indicates what rapid advancement the race has made along lines of commercial endeavor and shows that more and more the business men of the race are getting to the basic principles of modern business. An analysis of the subjects included on this 1915 program,finds general thought behind the discussion falling into three great groups representing the three important factors in business, viz. production and manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing. The subjects are so arranged as to show the relative dependence of each factor upon the other and the importance of their successful operation upon the future of the race. During, the past ten months the League's Secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, who is responsible each year for these programs, has had his dragnet spread over the country searching for successful exponents of the several important factors of business operation, and his painstaking care is rewarded with one of the best and most comprehensive programs in the history of the League. When our business men and women can assemble once each year and discuss such subjects as Department store Management, the Wholesale Poultry Business, Wholesale and retail Merchandising, Merchandising Manufactured Goods, Railroad Building, Handling Real Estate, the Relation of Store Appearance to Store Development, Soap, Broom and Cigar Manufacturing and how to meet the competition of Chain Stores, it is a sure sign that the race is getting away from the haplazard in business and getting down to the fundamental. Aside from the address of welcome by His Excellency, Governor David I. Walsh of Massachusetts, His Honor, Mayor James M. Curley of Boston; and His Hon. Mayor Timothy Good of Cambridge, and the annual address of President Booker T. Washington, there are other very important subjects to be discussed by men and women of national reputation. Among them are Dr. John E. White, Pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia, who will discuss, "The Negro and the New South; Dr. James H. Dillard, Major R. R. Moton, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. An added feature this year will be "Remarks of encouragement" from representatives of some of the leading business publications of the country. Mr. F. W. Spicer, vice-president of The Fourth Estate, a newspaper man's magazine of New York City; and a representative of the "System" are expected to be present. These gentlemen will bring a message of good cheer and encouragement from organizations doing a similar work among the white business men. Among the more important social features as announced on the program are the following: On Thursday, August 19th, 2:30 p. m. to 5:00 p. m.—A trolley ride has been arranged by the Boston League to Historic points and about Boston, Including Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill. From 5:00 p. m. to 7:00 p. m.—Reception by citizens to delegates and their ladies at the Unity Social Club, was Canton street. At 0:35 p. m.—Reception by the Cambridge Negro Business League (B. H. Poucher, President; J. T. Harrison, secretary, at the State Armory in Cambridge just across the Harvard bridge). Address of welcome to Cambridge by His Honor, Honorable Timothy Good, Mayor. Friday August 20th—At the close of the morning business session, through the courtesy of the management, a tour will be made through Filene's great department store, Washington and Summer streets, Boston. Friday evening, August 20—A reception and banquet will be tendered delegates and visiting friends by Boston Negro. Business League and Citizens of Boston, in Convention Hall Grand United Order of Odd Fellows Holds Best Session In Many Years LEFT FOR THE PANA- MA EXPOSITION. Three Savannahians Will Take in the Sights of the West. Mrs. R. L. Barnes, grand worthy counselor of the grand court of Calanthe of Georgia, left last night, are companied by Mrs. Aurelia E. Allen, for Columbus, Ohio, where they will spend next week attending the supreme court of Calanthe. From there they will go to San Francisco to visit the Panama exposition. Their tickets call for a very extensive trip with stops at all of the leading cities and resorts en rute. Their tickets permit to go and return on different routes. They will be gone until the latter part of September. Mrs. Allen will especially gather new ideas for her school of dressmaking which will re-open in October. Mr. Daniel Simmons, the well has gone to the big show on the Pacific coast. He left the early part of the week over the southern route via New Orleans, La., Mr. Simmons after visiting the exposition, will take in the sights in the West returning to the city about the latter part of next month. BOND ELECTION The registration books for the bond election was opened yesterday at the city hall. For this election it requires a special registration. In order to finish the drainage work it is necessary to rule more money hence the bond election. All of our citizens should be interested in this matter, and our voters should not fall to go to the city hall and register. The only requirement will be the payment of all taxes, including that of 1914. In order to save any trouble, it will be well to take along tax receipts. Within the next few days the county will begin its registration for bond election. This is for the purpose of building road-ete. When these books are opened our voters should avail themselves of the opportunity of becoming qualified. Our interest in both of these elections should be shown by the large number of voters that we may have on the list. DISTINGUISHED CONGRE GATIONALIST TO SPEAK Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, Washington, D. C., and vice moderator of the National Council of Congregational Churches, will arrive in the city Saturday, August 28th. He will preach at the First Congregational Church Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service and will deliver an address, at the evening service at 8:30 o'clock. Dr. Garner is one of the foremost ministers of the race, and is the only colored man holding such a prominent position in any national organization of any denomination where the races are mixed. The coming of Dr. Garner will add much inspiration to the work here. Garrison and Saint Botolph streets; Music will be furnished by Toy's Orchestra, Caterer, James H. Madison.

ATHENS, GA., AUGUST 12—The twenty-ninth annual session of district grand lodge No. 18 of Georgia, of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, adjourned here this afternoon after one of the best sessions of the order since the endowment feature has been in operation. The delegates to the convention began arriving in the city in groves Monday and by Tuesday morning there were upward of two thousand Odd Fellows in the city. Immediately after the arrival of the delegates Monday night two caucuses were held, one by the administration's forces and the opposition. Both meetings lasted until early Tuesday morning. The administration meeting was of an instructive nature to the delegates, advising them of their actions while in the city and urging them to be cool and considerate during the session while the opposition meeting took up the entire time denouncing the administration. Tuesday morning bright and early Morton's theatre, the structure which housed the convention, was filled with delegates and visitors both the lodge and household holding their opening public session there. The principal addresses of welcome were made by the Hon. W. F. Dorsey, mayor, who delivered one of the most encouraging talks ever made before the Order by one of the opposite race; Dr. W. H. Harris, Madam E. Brown and Dr. C. Max Manning. The responses were made by Prof. C. W. Hill, Dr. W. F. Penn, of Atlanta; Madam Susie W. Dasher of Dublin and Dr. E. J. Brinson of Americus. The annual address was delivered by Dr. Williams Decker Johnson and was one of the finest and most able pieces of oratory ever heard in this city. At the conclusion of the public exercises Grand Master Birl S. Ingram proceeded to appoint the credential committee. At this juncture A. Graves of Atlanta, who seemed to have been leading the opposition, raised an objection. He attempted to appoint a credential committee, a procedure which threw the house into a state of confusion and in which Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, also a member of the opposition and a candidate for Grand Master, took an active part. Every possible thing was done to restore order, but without avail, and the police had to be called in an dGraves was taken out of the meeting, after quietness had been restored the grand master proceeded to appoint the credential committee as follows: T. K. Persley, H. H. Pace, Sim Jones, Ed. H. Burke and Dr. G. W. Owens. Mrs. L. P. Fortune, district most noble governor of the Household, then appointed her committee as follows: Mrs. R. Ethel Cain, Mrs. Mamie M. Halley, Mrs. M. L. Move, Mrs. Winfred Williams and Mrs. D. F. McArthur.

On Wednesday morning the business session of the grand lodge opened at 9 o'clock with B. S. Ingram, the grand master, presiding. After the opening formalities, the credential committee reported in part, which was adopted. Afterwards the various other committees were appointed, Savannah being represented on four by the following delegates: W. S. Roundfield, endowment and claims; E. A. Fields, the good of the Order; and Ed. H. Burke, credential. The reports of the officers were then taken up, showing the order to be on a substantial basis. The auditors' report showed assets of $557,545.95 with liabilities of $12,395.00 and also a cash balance of $56,943.63. It showed since the last session of the grand lodge in Savannah, there were 486 male-death claims paid which amounted to $214,131.09 and female death claims to the amount of 550 totaling $47,430. The total death claims paid was $261,561.00. It was also stated that headquarters' rentals for two years amounted to $15,000. There were shown 863 lodges with an approximate membership of 30,000 and 692 house-holds with 20,609 members. session was taken up by the discussion was had when the recommended a three fold end policy at 50 cents per month and a $200 policy for the House the lodge not being allowed that the discussion on this motion of W. H. Burgess, of San to the various lodges for rat Thursday morning's session was taken up by the reports from the various committees. Much discussion was had when the committee on endowment reported. They recommended a three fold endowment proposition as follows: First, a $500 policy at 50 cents per month; second, a $500 policy at 35 cents per month and a $200 policy for the Household members; a number holding a $500 policy in the lodge not being allowed to carry a policy in the Household. It seemed that the discussion on this proposition was going to be in definite, but for a motion of W. H. Burgess, of Savannah, who moved that it be received and sent to the various lodges for ratification. SALARIES The report of committee on salaries, which was adopted, was as follows: district grand master, $1,200 per year; district grand secretary, $2,700; district grand master, $900; deputy grand master and grand director, $5.00 per diem; grand attorney not to exceed $100 per month and medical examiner not to exceed $75 per month. the two latter salaries being left to the executive committee.

Davis of Atlanta The election of the grand lodge officers was the next move of the convention. It was orderly conducted and all factions were given opportunity to enter the race for offices. The election was conducted according to the law of the Order, that is by roll call and written ballot. A square deal was insisted upon by the house and every candidate was given a chance to test his strength before the eager sons of Peter Ogren. The first ballot cast was that for the grand mastership in which Grand Master Ingram was opposed by R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta. After about two thirds of the delegates had voted, the latter seeing that he was beaten, withdrew from the race and Ingram was declared winner. The next ballot taken was for deputy grand master. J. M. Pitts of Brunswick, W. S. Roundfield of Savannah and R. B. Ferrell of Atlanta were the candidates. The two latter declined after being placed in nomination and Pitts was elected by a unanimous vote. District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis of Atlanta, was re-elected without opposition. J. C. Styles of Dawson, R. H. Cobb of Columbus, Wm. Driskell of Atlanta and M. B. Morton of Athens offered for the treasurership, the race finally SATURDAY AUGUST 14TH. 1915 THURSDAY'S SESSION SALARIES S. C. M. DECISION THE ELECTION KNIGHTS OF DAMON TO HOLD CONVENTION Will Convene Monday at The Duffy Street Hall The supreme lodge Ancient Order of Knights of Damon will convene Monday morning at the Duffy street hall in a three days' session, closing the following Wednesday. Much interest is being manifested in the con- vention. There are several aspirants for office and a lively fight for the coveted positions is anticipated. The coming session is expected to be the largest in the history of the order. Many delegates from out-of-town are expected to be here in attendance upon the convention. For the past few years the order under the administration of Sir J. W. Millen, has made rapid progress. His two terms of office have been very successful and the order has increased both financially and numerically under his guidance. The uniform rank as well as subordinate lodges is in excellent condition. Col. Matthew Jackson, assisted by Major Jerry M. Suares, has placed the uniform rank on a high basis and their showing has been a very soldierly one. The Hermilion courts, the female portion of the order, and the drill corps have also been progressing nicely, and have a very healthy membership. On Tuesday the entire order will go on an outing down the river to Daufuskie island and a delightful time is promised all who take in this affair. AT THE Y. M. C. A. Last Sunday's program at the "Y" was unusually helpful and interesting. The general discussion from the subject, "How to Hold a Job" led by District Superintendent H. T. Singleton of the Georgia Mutual Insurance Co. was very effectively handled by many of the men present. It is believed that no little good will result from the meeting which gave indication of the increasing popularity and effectiveness of the general discussion plan of the "Y". At night a large representation of the "Y" was present at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. H. D. Butler, pastor, where a cordial reception awaited it. Opportunity was given the representatives of presenting the work of the "Y". Not only did the Church give the "Y" a substantial donation but several members of the church joined the "Y" movement. On tomorrow afternoon at 5 p. m. at St. Paul C. M. E. Church, the special feature will be an address by Principal W. E. Thompson of the Chatham school. There will also be selections by the Y. M. C. A. quartette. An interesting program is promised. 'All men are invited to be present.' AUDITORIUM LOCATED At last a sight for the auditorium has been selected. It will front the square on Perry street, McDonough and Hull streets, running back to Jefferson. This will cause the closing of McDonough street for a block and the demolishing of the historic Habersham colonial mansion. Many of the citizens favored the Savannah Hospital lot, which would have been far better. SUPREME LODGE K. of P. The biennial meeting of the supreme lodge Knights of Pythias will be held next week in Columbus, Ohio. The supreme court of Calanthes will meet at the same time and place. The gathering is expected to be as large as ever. The military feature is expected to be greater than ever. The Georgia delegation leaves today in special coaches. PRINCIPAL W. E. THOMPSON OF CHATHAM SCHOOL TO ADDRESS THE Y. M. C. A. The Young Men's Christian Association offers a special program to the men on tomorrow when Principal W. E. Thompson of the Chatham school will deliver the principal address at the association's meeting at St. Paul Church. West Broad and Charles St. at 5 p. m. Prof. Thompson is one of the foremost white educators in the city and it is hoped that a large crowd of men will be out to hear his address which gives premise of being both interesting and helpful. NUMBER 47 GRAND CHAPTER EASTEN STAR HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING IN AUGUSTA All Old Officers Re-elected—Convention Goes to Valdosta Next Year—Grand Master, H. R. Butler Addresses the Chapter. The Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star met last week in Augusta in its seventeenth annual communication. The attendance, while not as large as usual, was, nevertheless, enthusiastic and interesting. The opening exercises were held on Tuesday evening at McGregor hall. Its main auditorium was crowded Mr. A. B. Singfield, of this city, acted as master of ceremonies. The addresses of welcome were delivered by Miss Lucy Laney, Dr. G. N. Stoney, Miss Mary C. Jackson and Miss Beulah V. McDowell: The responses were by Mr. H. H. Williams of Albany, Mrs. R. G. Taylor of Savannah, and Mrs. S. N. Butler of Atlanta. The annual address was delivered by Rev. J. A. Nabrit of Augusta. Each speaker won the audience and was liberally applauded. A solo was rendered by Miss Minnie Hodges of Vienna. The Clef Club rendered two selections. They were musical gems. The business session of the Grand Chapter opened at the same place Wednesday morning after the ritualistic opening. The committee on credentials having made a partial report the Grand officers reported as follows: G. Patron, G. Matron, Grand Secretary, Grand Treasurer, Grand Lecturer and the Auditing Committee. Each of these reports was carefully prepared and presented. They all showed that the grand chapter is in a prosperous condition. The reports were received with applause, and many complimentary remarks were made concerning them. Grand Master H. R. Butler of Atlanta arrived during the afternoon He was given a grand escort and extended the grand honors. The fatherly address delivered by the Grand Master was along every day practical lines, The Grand Master is held in high esteem by every member of the Grand Chapter and his presence is always halled with delight. The various committees having been appointed, each went to work preparing same. Wednesday night, "Chapter of Sorrow" was held at Tabernacle Baptist Church. Despite the inclementy of the weather, a fair attendance was had. This part of the service was in charge of Mr. J. H. Babcock of Sandersville. Thursday morning the various committees reported. During the interim, Miss Lucy Laney, principal of Haines Institute, was invited and gave an impressive address, which greatly enthused her hearers. She especially treated on woman's work and the part that is expected of the women in the forward movement of the race. She presented the claims of the Shilloh Orphanage, and in a short while, more than $17.00 was raised by a voluntary collection. Hon. Judson W. Lyons was also introduced and spoke interestingly. The last order of business was the election, which resulted in the reelection of all of the officers as follows: Sol. C. Johnson, Royal Grand Patron. Mrs. V. E. Hart, Royal Grand Matron Mrs. J. C. Miller, Royal Grand Associate Matron. Mrs. M. L. Ayers, Royal Grand Secretary. Mrs. M. H. Jones, Royal Grand Treasurer. Miss Effie Harper, Royal Grand Conductress.

Design your Frock to Suit your Stride Width and Length of Skirt a Matter of Personal Preference this Season HAT MAY BE SMALL, MEDIUM OR LARGE New York, August 11—Did it ever occur to you that the width of your skirt and the line of your frock had much to do with the grace of your carriage and the evenness of your disposition? That we should hop awkwardly, or glide gracefully, with the whim of fashion seems somewhat ridiculous, but such is the case. We cannot walk well or gracefully when skirts are tight. Luxuries are scarce in Paris just now—motors are doing war service; the Park-theme must walk or stay at home. She prefers to walk and as she absolutely refuses to be ungrateful, the wide skirt has come back in favor. This was probably the first excuse for the change. We in America who have always loved the exercise of walking find the change grateful, too, and are not slow to accept the fad of walking for walking's sake. With the new MCCALL The Slim Girl with Her Greyhound, Gowned in a Princess Shirt wide skirt we find our stride lengthening, the worried line between our eyes disappears and walks once more becomes a pleasure. The Girl and the Greyhound One girl who lives on upper Fifth Avenue takes her picture-que, slender greyhound out for exercise daily; I met her near the library the other morning. Whether she dressed with "Jeff" in mind, or whether her gray serge skirt was just happenstance, I do not know; but certainly the dog was effective with the costume. Her dark blue eyes and blue-black hair were intensified by the contrast with the gray. The skirt was one of the new Princess styles in gray serge, edged with dark blue, and trimmed with braid. It had the new suspender straps and was worn with a blouse of sheer, transparent Swiss, cut on simple lines, the fabric itself being the chief charm. The hat was in the same shade of gray as the skirt; it was one of the new taffeta turbans, with a tulle band to shade the eyes, that Jeanne Lanvin brought out early in the season. The whole costume gave the effect of long lines and grace. Regarding the Length of the Skirt Skirts are being worn short—that is, by those to whom they are becoming. If one is slender and youthful, she may wear her skirts to her shoe tops, a trifle below or above; but if one is not slender and youthful, it is better to defy fashion and wear them at the most becoming length. The matter of fullness, too, is more or less a personal one; Mme. Jenny, who first launched the very wide skirt, is modifying her models a little. If you find the skirt of two, or two and a half yards is more becoming than the one much wider, the narrow model is quite as modish. A Word or two on Footwear "You tell them about hats and frocks, suits and petticoats, but you hardly ever say a word about shoes." a shoe man complained to me some days ago. However we must say something about shoes this season; the shorter skirts demand it. There is quite as strict a code of etiquette for shoes as there is for gloves or hats, but few of us follow it. For morning wear, with the walking suit or skirt, a slightly higher topped shoe, with straight Cuban heel and a rather substantial sole is correct this season; these may be tan or black. Tan shoes, either buttoned or laced especially effective with the new tweeds and checks. For afternoons, with a frock of taffeta, fallle, and like materials, the modified French, or as they are named, the Spanish Louis heels, are correct on a high or half shoe of patent leather or a plain calfskin. For evening, of course, the French heel is most effective on a slipper of bronze, patent leather, or in a brocade to match the gown. The Hat of the Hour Small, large and medium hats are all in good style. The wide flat sailor of Georgette, is a general favorite just now. They are made up in a soft crepe de Chine, white or mastic, one of the new grays, or with brim of black-blue or black satin, and crown of straw or velvet. The small taffeta turban is still popular for mornings, and the medium size hat, with slightly mushroomed brim, with or without a hang- THE WORLD'S FASHION Full-Skirt in a New Princess Frock, She Strides Beside the Sturdy Patrick ing fold of maline or crepe, is liked by many. One may safely wear the hat that is most becoming with no misgivings. A Princess Coat Dress of Linen There is no doubt of the popularity of the Princess it will be a favored model for the first serge frocks of early fall, and is already appearing in linen and now and then in taffeta. I saw an unusually smart one the other afternoon on the Avenue; it was of dark blue linen with striped collar, and was held in a trifle at the waistline., with one of the new softly colored suede belts now modish. The hat was a sailor with a dark blue satin brim set well up, bandeau fashion, on a straw crown. The skirt was ample full and wearer, who also had a dog on a leash, was able to stride comfortably beside the sturdy "Patrick." It is now the day of pedestrian freedom of feet and open air. What if fashion is threatening "hoop skirts next"—let us enjoy life while we may. "THERE IS NO CIVILIZED WAR FARE", DECLARES ELDER J. W. MANNS Of the Seventh-Day Adventists Church There is no civilized warfare. The coming of the Prince of Peace will end it forever. As I read the appalling details of the awful catastrophe of war that daily confronts us in the press, I am reminded of the reply made by a father to his boy who asked, "Pa, what is the difference between a civilized man and a barbarian? The father answered, "A barbarian is a man who knocks your brains out with a club at arm's length, while a civilized man blows them out a mile away." The present situation in Europe demonstrates, if any demonstration is needed, that there is no such thing as civilized warfare. War is butchery. It is wholesale murder. It stands for sorrow, suffering and death. As well talk of a constructive tornado as civilized warfare. Like some mighty Samson, the war god seems to be at work to pull down the temple of civilization, and turn the clock of progress back into the dark ages. Half of the world is convulsed by the earthquake of war. The devastation of fire and sword go on daily. A continent is torn and ruined by this awful Moloch. Through the inventive genious of man, new and tremendous dangers face the inhabitants in the cataclysm of war. In terror they must flee from their homes in the dead of the night, leaving all they have behind, lest some bomb, spreading ruin and death, is dropped upon their defenseless heads from the sky. The nerve-racking terror and the awful catastrophe of ruin caused by all that attended a war of such vast proportions as the present one can only be realized by those who are compelled to face the situation. Human suffering is the invitable symbol of war. It is sufficient to stagger the imagination, and cause the heart to grow faint. Tens of thousands of men are but the pawn in the game of the nations, to be slaughtered—fed to the cannon—to maintain what is called national honor and commercial supremacy. Many of the sufferers are widows and orphans who are left to mourn in poverty and unspeakable loneliness as victims of the great military struggle. Poverty, ruin, hunger, and famine are the real members of alliance. Then comes the burden of grinding taxation to foot the bills caused by the enormous expenditure of fund necessary to defray the expenses of the bloody contest. What the tremendous total will be, no one can ever guess. If the war is much longer continued, it is sure to bring financial disaster, resulting in the obliteration or credit. War means paralized industries and a staggering debt. After glory of victory and the despair of defeat, will come business depression. And when will war cease? Never while sin is in the earth. The present death struggle will doubtless end sooner or later, when some nation has won a conclusive victory, or all have worn themselves out. But peace will not be permanent or long continued. Not till the Prince of Peace comes, and all the nations are carried away like chaff from the threshing floor, and the everlasting kingdom of God is ushered in, will there be real peace. Men may talk of peace, peace compacts may be negotiated with the nations; and all this is laudable, to be sure, but in the end, the work will come to naught. War will come again. Armageddon is a head of us, a struggle before which the present contest pales in comparison. The hope of the world is in the advent of the Prince of Peace. And it should encourage our hearts to know that His coming is near, even at the door. By His advent He will make war, to cease to the end of the earth. Glad day! CARE OF THE BABY IN SUMMER Minor Ailments A baby may be made uncomfortable and restless by various causes which are readily removed. Attention has already been called to the fact that babies and young children frequently suffer from thirst. They should be offered a drink of water several times a day, and particularly in hot weather. When a baby cries in the night, a drink will often quiet him, and send him to sleep. Irritating clothing is at times responsible for the baby's fretfulness. Woolen socks, or shirts, or a stiff cap string are quite enough to spoil his comfort, even if he is well, and, in hot weather especially, a superabundance of clothing is frequently responsible for much real suffering. Dress the baby in the lightest cotton garments and keep him as cool as possible. Do not be afraid to let him have nothing on but his diaper and one other thin garment on the very hot days. Prickly Heat One of the troubles from which a baby often suffers in summer is prickly heat. This ailment appears as a fine red rash usually on the neck and shoulders and gradually spreads to the head, face and arms. It is caused by over heating, due either to hot weather or to the fact that the baby is too warmly dressed. The rash comes and goes with the heat, and causes intense itching. The remedy for it is to take off all the clothing and give the baby a spunge bath in tepid water in which common baking soda has been dissolved. Use one tablespoonfull of soda to two quarts of water. Use no soap, and do not rub the skin, but pat it dry with a soft towel.

SINGFIELD, General Supt flamed surface with a plain talcum powder. This alliment, like all others, is more readily prevented than cured. Frequently cool baths, very little clothing, simple food and living in cool rooms, in the open air will probably save the summer baby from much of the annoyance of prickly heat and other more serious ills. Fat babies are very apt to suffer from chafing, especially in hot weather. It appears as a redness of the skin in the buttocks or in the armpits, or wherever the skin surfaces persistently rub together. Much the same treatment is required as in prickly heat. Never use soap on an inflamed skin. Instead use soda, brain or starch bath. Directions for these baths are given in a publication called "Infant Care", which may be had, free of charge, by addressing a request to the Chief of the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C. Great care should be taken not to let the baby scratch the skin, when it irritated. Sift together two parts powdered corn-starch, and one part boric acid, and use its freely on the chafed places. Remove wet or soil diapers at once. Wash and dry the flesh thoroughly, then dust the powder freely between the legs. This is a skin disease affecting the scalp, in which yellowish, scaly patches appear on the baby's head. These patches should be softened by amolting them with olive oil or vaselin at night, and the head washed with warm water and castile soap in the morning. If the crust does not readily come away, repeat the process until the scalp is clean. Never use a fine comb nor the finger nails to remove the crust, as the slightest irritation of the skin will cause the disease to spread further. The scales will usually disappear after a few days of careful treatment. If the baby does not have at least one full bowel movement in 24 hours or in 36 at the outside, he is in need of such care as will bring about this result. Breast-fed babies often responded to an increased supply of laxative, fool in the mother's diet. If this is not sufficient, a six months old baby may have a tablespoonfull of strained orange juice between two of his morning feedings. Bottle-fed babies may have fruit in the same way and thin oatmeal gruel may be substituted for barley water in making up the feedings, after the baby is four months old. Perhaps the best preventative of constipation is to teach the baby to move the bowels at the same hour every day. This training should be begun when the baby is three months old, and should be faithfully continued until the habit is firmly established. Not only does this practice establish in the baby from the beginning of his life a custom which will greatly increase his chances for good health, but results in an enormous saving of work to the mother. She no longer finds herself confronted with a pile of soil diapers to wash, but instead gives fifteen minutes of careful attention to the baby each morning. Directions for carrying out this training are given in the pamphlet on Infant Care, already mentioned. Do not use enemas for the relief of constipation save in emergencies, and do not resort to purgative medicines except with the doctor's advice.

AMONG THE MASONS It is one of the glories of Masonry that its work is done without ostentation or display, that it does not advertise its good deeds, that it lifts up and elevates and upbuilds without boasting of its work. As in the building of the temple there was not heard the sound of hammer or any tool of iron, so in Masonic circles the fabric of good citizenhip is built up without boasting of self-praise—Selected. Masonic Influence We often hear that some one has done much for Masonry. Did it ever occur to you that no one ever did as much for Masonry as Masonry does for him? The ledger ever shows a large balance to the credit of Masonry. May we not some times wonder whether our novitates are indeed uninfluenced by mercenary motives? . As a man is a creature of his environment, may he not be expected to partake of the spirit of rapacious greed that masks under the name of commercial activity? When the defeated candidate at the polls arraigns the members of his lodge because they did not support him, is he properly wielding the working tools of the craft? When the tongue of scandalous reports sets the pack upon the man does the true Mason join, or does he seeks to drive the hounds back into their kennels? Are the teachings of the institution much that one can for a moment doubt the line of his duty? Should we mercilessly pursue the unfortunate man whose appetite leads him to debase his profession and destroy his faculties? Should we hasten to our lodge with formally prepared charges against such a one? Or should we go to his side and lift him up, set his feet right, and hold up his hands?—Masouie Home Journal. Love's voice doth sing as sweetly in beguilar as a king—Decker. The Lodge Many persons object to Masonry on the grounds that it levels all distinctions, and consequently teaches communi-the principles which tend to disorganize society and reduce all to the same level in life—the rich with the poor, and the learned and intelligent with the unlettered. Of course, such reasoning is false altogether, since we only teach the equality of man as seen by the Creator; and Freemasonry makes, although one of its dogmas is the "level" of all, the same distinctions in its organization that exist in the different departments of social life. The Worshipful Master sits in the East to rule and govern the lodges, and his power is absolute to will and to do as seems to him right for the government of the brethren. So absolute is his way that one stroke of his gavel is sufficient to silence the large body over which he presides, and no one can question his judgment. The wardens are his deputies—not his equals; each performs his allotted task. and, beyond that, are of no authority. save as assistants. The deacons are lower yet in the grade, and are simply messengers of the lodge. The Senior carries messages from the Worshipful Master in the East to the various portions of the body, and it is his duty to receive the candidates for initiation and to be their guide and conductor. This office is, therefore, a difficult one to fill, and is made the stepping-stone to further preferment. The other officers of the Lodge have their various duties to perform, and each ranks in regular succession; but outside of their regular functions are without authority in the lodge. And to obey the will and pleasure of the Master is the unquestioned duty of all. When the lodge is opened, the brethren are, as Masons, equal; and in the working of the lodge each bears the burden assigned to him in pursuit, of a common object—knowledge. And when the lodge is closed we part upon the square, giving "honor to whom honor is due". In no other organization in the world is there such perfect harmony in the working as there is in the Masonic fraternity.—Missouri Freemason. Freemasonry's reverence for Geometry is well founded, as by it alone can symmetry and order be perfectly discerned and comprehended, and by it only can all existence, from the atom to the Infinite Being whom we recognize as Jehovah, be preceived, distinguished and described. From the point of the infinite sphere it measures and defines all, and thus demonstrates the necessity of the prevalence of Freemasonry, as Geometry and Freemasonry are synonymous. Geometry is symmetry and beauty, and if it governed all beauty and things, then divine order and excellence would everywhere prevail. Geometry is perfection, and an important essential of the soul, as only by it can complete divine approbation be attained. To thus perfect every human being is the real mission of Masonry. The secrets of Freemasonry are to be considered very much as the latch keys to a means of entrance, denied to all but those entitled to their possession. Rice will absorb three times its measure of water and a larger quantity of milk or stock. VALUE OF LIFE No one, I am sure, ever laid down a great tragedy without an overwhelming sense of the value of life—life as it is, life at its most pitiless and cruel, with all its iniquities; suffering, perplexity—without feeling that he would far rather have lived and had all that than not have lived at all.—G. Lowes Dickinson. An Eye Experiment. The two eyes really see two objects. If the two fors fingers be held, one at the distance of one foot and the other two feet, in front of the eyes and the former be looked at two phantoms of the latter will be observed, one on each side. If the latter figure be regarded two phantoms of the nearest finger will be observed mounting guard, one on either side. THE FUTURE I do not say we ought to be happier as we grow older, but we ought to be calmer, knowing better what life is and looking forward to another which we believe to be a reality, though we cannot tell what it means.—Jewett.

That the National Negro Business League has proven a boon to Negro business enterprises throughout the country and has succeeded in bringing the Negro business man before his people as no other organization has been able to do is the acknowledgment of the Negro business men in every section of the country. Our business men here have been greatly benefited by its many suggestions and campaigns of advertisement and there is not a Negro business man, who is progressive and wide awake who does not believe that the great gathering of Negro business men in Boston next week will further advance the cause of the Negro business man throughout the country. The impus which this organization has given Negro business in general has been felt ever since the formation of this national body and its value to the Negro business man is inestimable. According to the school census, we have several thousand children who are unable to secure school accommodation. Through the kindness of the board of education, we were provided with the new Cuyler street school. Thus far this school has but slightly decreased the borders of little ones who are growing up in ignorance. No doubt the honorable members of the board of education have it in mind to further decrease this large list without accommodation, should the contemplated board election be successful. In the meantime there are about four large vacant rooms in the Cuyler street school that are not being used. It may be in the mind of the board to utilize these rooms at the beginning of the term in order to accommodate at least two or three hundred more of our children. At any rate, we respectfully call the attention of Superintendent Ashmore and the board to these four rooms, and ask that they be opened to the children at the beginning of the October term of school. The report of the City Health Officer W. F. Brummer to the mayor, which was made public this week, must surely have contained some shocking statistics relative to the Negro death rate of the city. The report shows that during the year just past there were 1074 Negro deaths, while the whites succumbered to the number of 449. The number of deaths among the whites was somewhat less than during 1913, but those among the Negroes were nearly fifty more than in the previous year. This high death rate among our people should be a matter of much moment to every thoughtful Negro in the city. It is indeed far too high and an effort to reduce it to at least half its present standing should be attempted by our people in general. While it is true that many deaths were no doubt caused by the unsanitary environments, in which many of our people live, yet no small number of the 1074 deaths among us was the result of the careless or ignorant treatment of many of our people who were taken sick and died, not from the lack treatment but because of quickish, harmful treatment which they received. When an adequate knowledge of the extent of the work of the "quacks" in and around Savannah is had the wonder is that the death rate among us is not higher. The city authorities are eager to put an end to the deadly work of the "quacks" but unless they are informed of the operations of these "hoodoo workers" it will be impossible to root out this evil among us. It has been estimated by one of our reputable physicians that at least a hundred deaths among our people are attributable directly to these quacks who live and thrive on the sale of their worthless but deadly wares. A concerted movement should be made by every Negro who realizes the damage these quacks are doing, to run them out of town and thereby deny the graveyards of at least a hundred bodies which yearly are interred there because of the practices of these hoodoos. Putting a stop to these quacks will undoubtedly go a long way toward lowering the death rate, but aside from this there should be, as the health officer recommends, a building law which would go a long way toward helping to decrease the high death rate among our people and it would be of benefit of the city at large were such a law passed making it punishable by law for a person to rent out for human habitation - a place which even the lower animals would find detrimental to their lives to live in. We could also lower this awful high death rate among us by having our ministers and other public men impress upon our people the necessity of clean bodies and wholesome habits. There is truly a need of concerted action on our part to safeguard the health of our people and to lower the shockingly high death rate which the health officer has so vividly brought out in his report. OVERHOME NEWS, BEAUFORT S.C. By J. S. Blocker The Beaufort delegation to the grand lodge K. of P. and grand court of Calanthe represented Beaufort in great style. Maj. P. A. Roper was re-elected grand worthy counsellor of the courts of Calantle. Mrs. Rosa M. Williams was re-elected grand recorder of deeds; Mrs. Eliza M. Washington, grand district deputy; J. S. Blocker was re-elected grand inner guard, which position he has held for the past eleven years. The Beaufort delegation deserves much credit for the manner which they have kept Beaufort in the front rank along being well represented at all times. The grand lodge of K. of P. of South Carolina closed one of the best sessions in the history of that body Thursday night July 20th at Mariah Baptist Church, where they held their sessions. The grand lodge is in fine condition; the endowment fund has increased over the previous year from $20,000 to $25,000; the membership stands today something like 9,000, when a few years ago it was only 4,000. The grand court has a membership of over 2,000, they also conduct their own endowment. In view of the fact that it has only been two years since they took over their own endowment, their balance of more than $7,000 makes an excellent showing. The next session of the grand lodge will be held at Greenwood, S. C., July 1916. Mrs. C. E. Gary has returned to her home in Pittsburg, Pa., after an extended visit to her daughter, Mrs. W. Robert Smalls, Prince street.' She was accompanied by her daughter and grand daughter, little Annie Elizabeth Smalls. Mrs. Blanche Jackson of Charleston is visiting her sister, Mrs. R.

C. to attend the grand lodge of Odd Fellows, were Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Lawton, Capt. B. H. Houston. They report a pleasant trip and a fine session: Major P. A. Roper met with a serious accident while in Spartanburg attending the grand court. While driving to the Union station at Spartanburg Friday morning July 31st the driver lost control of his automobile while going at a very rapid speed, his sterring wheel went bad and the machine ran into a telegraph post which resulted in quite a smash up and Major Roper getting his shoulder broken. The other occupants in the car only got slightly bruised. Miss Nettle Killingsworth is spending her vacation in Savannah. Mrs. J. H. Dickson left for Columbus, Ohio, where she will remain for some time. Mrs. B. H. Fisher was elected supreme representative to the supreme lodge of K. of P., and supreme court of Calanthe, which meet at Columbus, Ohio, August 24 to 28.

Life Insurance Company and head of the company's office in this city which employs about twenty-five persons, and a director in the Wage Earners bank, the second largest Negro banking institution in the country. The local Negro business men could have no more worthy a representative at the Boston meeting than Col. Singfield. G. U. O. OF O. F. HOLDS BEST SESSION IN MANY YEARS E. J. Matthews of Dawson, W. L. Hughes of Dublin and T. K. Persley of Macon were elected auditors. Hon H. L. Johnson and Dr. A. D. Jones, both of Atlanta, were elected attorney and medical examiner, respectively. After the confusion caused at Tuesday morning's session there was no further sign of disorder and the sessions in general were harmonious. "Rump" Convention Much to the dissatisfaction of the vast majority of the 631 delegates who constituted the grand lodge, a "rump" convention was held across the street, opposite the theatre, by not more than seventy-five persons, several of whom, it is claimed, were not delegates. This convention was apparently headed by A. Graves of Atlanta and Dr. B. W. S. Daniels of Savannah, the latter being declared by the credential committee a legal delegate and accorded a seat in the regular convention, the former holding no credential which were on file, that would give him entrance into the regular convention. The bolters shortly after forming their organization proceeded into election, Dr. Daniels being givevent the grand master-ship. The other officers are R. W. Wadkins, of Albany, deputy grand master; P. A. Allen, Atlanta, grand secretary; A. Graves, Atlanta, grand treasurer and L. L. Edwards, Waycross, grand director. At the Thursday's session of the regular convention P. A. Allen stated that he did not authorize his name being used by the holters and would not accept the office accorded him by them. Several who took a prominent part in the caucus of the opposition to the administration on Monday night and were apparently willing to support the Graves faction, condemned their holding a "rump" convention, among them being W. H. Burgess, of Savannah; Dr. J. C. Atkinson, of Macon; L. G. Watts, J. A. Robinson and R. E. Pharrow, all of Atlanta. The complaints of those who formed the "rump" convention, it is stated, have already been forwarded for adjudication to the Sub Committee of Management, but it is the consensus of opinion that their contentions will not be upheld by the S. C. M. The Household of Ruth held a very successful meeting, the officers elected being; Mrs. L. P. Fortune, D. M. N. G., Mrs. W. D. Johnson, D. R. N. G., Mrs. R. Ethel Caine, D. W. R; Mrs. Hattie B. Jackson, D. W. T.; Mrs. Susie W. Dasher, D. D.; Mrs. M. B. Wilson, S. J.

Dancing, of course, was the principal feature of amusement on the island and was indulged in in a most whole hearted manner by the gay young folks. Some of the leading terpsichorean artists of the city were present and those who did not care to dance, were treated to some very enjoyable and interesting interpretations of the new dances. The outing was a great success in every respect and was but another demonstration of the popularity of the Grill boys. TENNIS CLUB MEETING There will be an important meeting of the Forest City Tennis Club on Monday night August 16th, at the Y. M. C. A. rooms, over the Savannah Pharmacy.

Barbershop shop in the city Everything up-to-date An Athletic Heart. The use of the term "athletic heart" has led to more misunderstandings than probably any other one expression. Laymen or parents, provided they are not of the medical profession, got a picture from this expression which is anything but correct. If they were told that their boy's thigh had increased half an inch in girth under the exercise that he had been doing in the gymnasium they would, be pleased, but when they are told that the size of his heart is increased they are at once very much alarmed. Active participation in almost any sport which causes the heart to beat more rapidly will produce an increase of size of that muscle as in any other muscle, and a certain amount of this is unquestionably nature's normal and proper way of taking care of her economy. Some people, it is true, believe that any enlargement is abnormal, but Dr. Meylan and most of the physicians who have followed the athlete closely would not agree with this. Outing. Erratic Record In Golf. The world's record for unsteadiness probably goes to a certain California golfer. There was a team match scheduled between two clubs, each club picking its five best men. When the match started it was discovered that only four men had reported for one of the teams. The captain of the team that had a missing man saw standing by a club member with a handicap somewhere around sixteen or eighteen strokes. His average game was about 98. As a rule he could be counted upon to go out in 50 and come back in 48. That day, to his own amazement and to the confusion of his opponent, he was out in 34, eleven strokes better than he had ever played the course before for the first nine holes. This was an upset, but no worse than the upset that followed, for, after being out in 34, he was back in 63. He got his 97, but as no 97 was ever got before. Jerome D. Travers in American Magazine. Turtle and Earina. Turtle and farina taken together represent to those who live on the Amazon, be they white, negro or Indian or one of the numerous crossbreeds, what the salmon does to the Alaska Indian, the coconut to the south sea islander and rice to the Mongolian. A short run of salmon in the Alaska rivers, a crop failure in the paddy fields of China, a hurricane in the south sea islands, all reduce to the same thing—famine. On the Amazon a shortage of turtles may be tided over by a plentitude of farina, or vice versa. A failure of both turtles and farina in the same year brings great and widespread distress. Farina is a crude, locally made product of the root of the manioc, a further refinement of which results in the tapioca of commerce. Farina under a number of different names is more or less of a staple with the natives in all of tropical America from the West Indies to Paraguay. Colors and Heat. In an attempt to illustrate graphically the relative values for summer and winter wear of different colors in dress materials an interesting experiment was recently conducted, says Popular Mechanics. Four strips of cloth made of the same material and weight, but of different colors, were placed on a cake of ice and exposed to the sun. The fabrics were white, yellow, red and black. The result showed in a striking way how white reflects the sun's rays, white black absorbs them. The ice covered by the piece of white cloth was not melted to any appreciable degree during the test, that under the yellow strip was slightly depressed, a deep cut was formed beneath the red cloth and a groove approximately twice as deep as that covered by the latter was melted under the black fabric. Pinched. Perhaps the origin of our slang term "pluched." meaning arrested, is in Defoe's poem "Hymn to the Pillory." Immurred in 1703 in Newgate, Defoe consolved himself with the reflection that, having meant well, he suffered unjustly. This is the passage: The first intent of laws Was to correct the effect and check the cause. And the ends of punishment. cust. And all the ends of punishment Were only future mischiefs to prevent.

By the side of it are very recent specimens of lenses which have been ruined by exposure to London's fogs and smoke.

Lesson VII.—Third Quarter, For Aug. 15, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Kings xii, 25-33. Memory Verse, 28, 29—Golden Text, Ex. xx, 4, 5a—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. When we hear Jeroboam saying in his heart, "Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David, * * * they shall kill me and go again to Rehooam, king of Judah" (verses 26, 27), and remember that God had said to him if he would walk in His ways and do right in His sight. He would be with him and build him a sure house (xl, 37, 38), we cannot see any evidence in Jeroboam of any faith in God or any heart for Him. When he took counsel and made the calves of gold and set them up at Bethel and Dan for Israel to worship, saying, "Behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt" (verses 28, 29), he proved himself an idolator and a harl and a true child of the devil. He preferred his own way to God's way, darkness rather than light, the service of the devil rather than that of God. His sacrifices and his tents, his altar and his incense, were all the device of his own heart (verse 33), and it is written of him again and again through all the story of the ten tribes, "Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin." He never turned from his evil way, but did worse and worse, and after reigning twenty-two years he died and was succeeded by his son Nadad, who followed in his father's footsteps (xiv, 20; xv, 25, 26). Rehooam reigned in Judah seventeen years, but he also did evil in the sight of the Lord, and led the people into idolatry and into all the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel (xiv, 21-24). This is a story of long ago, but is being repeated on all sides before our eyes today, and as truly as the time came when both the ten tribes and the two tribes went into captivity for their sins, so the time will come, is even now drawing near, when the Lord will spue out of His mouth the professing church because of her sins and set up His kingdom of righteousness and peace on this earth (Rev. III, 14-22). The church, the company of believers, is expected to represent Jesus Christ on this earth, as Israel was expected to represent the Lord God of Israel; to walk in His ways and do right in His sight. From the beginning God has wrought by His Spirit and His word and His own power. Thus He created all things in the beginning, and thus He restored all things after the catastrophe (Gen. 1. 1; II. 3; Ps. xxxiii, 6). In all the history of Israel He redeemed, He fed, He guided. He said to His apostles, "It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you" (Matt. x, 20). It is written of Stephen. "They were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake" (Acts v. 10). When we consider the worldly abominations which are found in the churches of our day and the false teaching, such as the denial of the virgin birth, the delity of Christ, His vicarious atonement (His suffering for our sins in our stead), His literal resurrection from the dead, present ministry of intercession for His people, and coming again for His own and later with His own to set up His kingdom, does it not seem as if many of the leaders of our day are, with their increased light, worse in their idolatry and unbelief than were Jeroboam and Rehoboam? In all ages God has had His own faithful ones, though always only a few comparatively. One day as Jeroboam stood by his altar at Bethel to burn incense there came a man of God out of Judah with a message from the Lord, and he said that one would come from the house David, called Josiah, who would burn the bones of the false priests upon that altar; and as a sign that it would be so the altar was then rent and the ashes scattered. Jeroboam attempted to lay hold of the man of God, but his hand dried up, and he could not draw it back again until the man of God prayed for him. Then he asked the man of God to go home with him that he might refresh him with food and give him a reward; but he replied that he was charged by the Lord not to do this. Shortly after this an old prophet of Bethel, who had been told by his sons of this incident, saddled his ass and found the man of God sitting under an oak and invited him home, but the man of God replied as he did to Jeroboam. Then the old prophet said that an angel had told him to come for him and to bring him home. (But the old man lied.) To this the man of God yielded and went home with the old prophet. As they sat at table a strange message came through the old prophet, which was fulfilled when the man of God left his house, for a lion met him and killed him, but did not eat him and did not harm the ass on which he rode. This story is fully recorded in I Kings xxii. The fulfilment of the man of God's prediction some 300 years later is found in II Kings xxiii. As to the death of the man of God for disobedience I have often wondered if Paul had it in mind when he wrote Gal. 1, 8, 9. According to those words there are many who are under that curse because they do not preach the simple gospel. We must hear only what God the Lord has said (Ps. lxxxv, S) and be deaf to all else. Delights of Camel Riding. Delights of Camel Riding. It was my first experience of camel riding and therefore interesting if not altogether charming. The saddles used on this journey were formed of large pads, one in front and one behind the hump. The driver climbs into place in front, with a huge peaked pad to keep him from falling off when the camel rises. Then the passenger mounts behind the hump, and the camel is with difficulty persuaded to rise. This he does hind quarters first, and the passenger finds himself thrust up in midair as if on a tower. The huge pad offers no possible support, and he can scarcely overcome his desire to prevent a fall by putting his feet on the driver's shoulders. That worthy, however, soon comes up to join him, and the expedition starts. The first sensation is of being astride a table, and as the miles go by the table increases alarmingly in width, and the tyro on the back seat begins to despair of ever getting his legs acquainted again.—Wide World Magazine. Discontent. Success is a disease, if the reasoning of those who give the identical definition for poverty is to be followed. An excellent preventive is idleness or inertia; another is satisfaction. Find the man who is satisfied and you need look no further for human putty. Content breeds Indias and Chinas. Discontent sends Mayflowers across oceans—not the sullen discontent that does nothing, but the discontent that manifests itself in striving to better conditions, the discontent that means hard work and plenty of it. Some firms are so contented with the volume of business they have that they do nothing to increase it. But the discontented competitor is doing something, as the first firm generally finds out before going into bankruptcy. You go ahead or you go back in this world. You cannot stand still. Satisfaction too often means just that—doing nothing.—Philadelphia Ledger. June and Matrimony. The first people to adopt the month of June as sacred to Hymen, the god of marriage, were the ancient Romans, who considered June the most propitious season of the year for entering upon matrimonial relations. The Romans held that June weddings were likely to be happier than alliances contracted in any other month of the year, especially if the day chosen were that of the full moon or the conjunction of the sun and moon. They also held that of all months May was to be most avoided, as in that month newlyweds would come under the influence of spirits adverse to happy households. These ancient marriage superstitions were retained by the Christians in the middle ages, and even today June is considered by many to be pre-eminently the month of marriages. — Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Pretty Thin Milk. Old Captain Joshua Ketcham of Amityville, N. Y., was very much beloved by the summer residents who used to sail with him on the bay and catch bluefish. There was always a refreshing flavor of the sea in his talk. One day, when a party of city men were sailing with him, the conversation turned on the difficulty of getting good milk in Amityville, and they appealed to the captain to know why that was the case. "Well," said Captain Joshua, "it's been that way as long as I can remember. My wife made me buy a cow once. I bought her from Elbert Haff, up on the north turnpike, and gave him $40 for her. Elbert said she'd give twenty quarts of milk a day, and I guess she did, but you could see bottom in sir fathoms."—Youth's Companion. It Didn't Work. The crowded car was overflowing. "Get off the step," the conductor cried. "I've got to close the door." "Don't mind me," replied the man on the step. "Close it if you like. It's true that I have a couple of sample packages of dynamite in my overcoat pockets and the windows might be broken and the roof blown off, but don't hesitate on my account. I haven't many friends, anyway, and I don't think many would sorrow over my early demise. Go ahead and close your door." Then the conductor closed it.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Her Reply. A gentleman, for what he called a lark, advertised for a wife and requested each candidate to inclose her carte de visite. A spirited young lady wrote to the advertiser in the following terms: "Sir, I do not inclose my carte, for, though there is some authority for putting a cart before a horse, I know of none for putting one before an ass."—London Tit-Bits. Clashing Dates. "It must take a deal of care, I should imagine, to arrange a baseball schedule." "Yes, so many attractions conflict. Now, in Boston we have a lot of trouble avoiding dates on which there are symphony concerts."—Puck. Semiofficial. City Editor—What do you mean when you wrote "The statement is semi-official?" Reporter—Mrs. Blinks wouldn't talk, so I got the story from her husband.—Philadelphia Ledger. It Always Is. Sympathizing Friend—Didn't you find it hard to lose all your money? Hardup—No; easiest thing in the world.—Town Topics. They serve'God well who serve his creatures.—Mrs. Norton. Saving In the Home. In systematic saving lies the secret of a successful housekeeper. Not stinting or denying, but practical, regular saving. Five or 10 cents put carefully away regularly soon means $G or $4 with which to buy some household necessity, perhaps luxury, and money saved in this way is never missed. Money saving is a habit, once formed hard to break, and means comfort and contentment to the housekeeper who will acquire it.—San Francisco, Chronicle.

Phone 3031 'The Evangelical Ministers' Union met Tuesday in its usual weekly meeting with Rev. J. S. Stripling, presiding. The deposition service was conducted by Rev. R. H. Singleton. After having addressed the throne of grace, the 32rd P-after was read. The programme committee made their report. August 17th sermonic report; August 24 subject "The Lord's Supper and it Properties observance", by Rev. Wm. Daniel; August 31st, "Epigenics. Its place in present day civilization," by Rev. R. H. Singleton. Sermonic report was given by Rev. W. J. Hamilton from the 2nd Psalms and 2nd verse. Rev. Hamilton was commended by the union. Next Tuesday there will be a paper by Rev. Stripling. All visiting ministers are invited and are welcome. ST. PHILIP A. M. E. CHURCH Dr. Singleton's text at the morning service, "To whom shall I go?" St. John 6:68. It was a strong sermon and was much enjoyed by the large congregation that was out to the 11 o'clock service. At Sunday school the attendance and collection was in excess of that of the previous Sunday. It is the custom of the assistant superintendent to conduct the opening of the lesson and after the general study of the lesson, the closing or review is conducted by the superintendent. Mr. Jesse Brinson, who uses to a great advantage for each Sunday, either an object lesson or a black board illustration. The 12 tribes of Israel including 12 sermons by Dr. Singleton will complete the series—one each Sunday night until the series of 12 shall have been completed. Last Sunday night the pastor spoke on the tribe of Joseph, subject, "Archers of Envy". Gen 49:23. Much eloquence was displayed when he spoke of the moral example set by Joseph. All Sunday school workers and bible students should hear these sermons, as BETH EDEN BAPTIST CHURCH Beth Eden Baptist Church, Rev. N. M. Clarke, pastor. Services were well attended Sunday, we were very much pleased to see so many of our friends out. The sermons were delivered with forgiveness and from the many expressions were helpful. The Sunday school is taking on new life, new teachers have been appointed and the teachers' meeting is held every Tuesday night before the service. The Women's Missionary society was re-organized Tuesday night with a roaring meeting. These meetings will be held the second Tuesday night of each month. Services tomorrow, preaching 11 a. m.

GOOD WILL BAPTIST CHURCH Good Will Baptist Church, located on Gwinnett street, one block west of water works, Rev. W. H. Prince, pastor. On last Sunday the Sunday school convened at the usual hour. The church services throughout the day were conducted by the pastor and were well attended. The communion service was the largest since the church was organized. Miss Ruth Blair, who was a delegate to the Sunday school convention has returned and reports a splendid session and a lovely stay down on the island. There are several envelopes from the rally which have not been turned in, we urge all those who have them to turn in same at once. The public is invited. ASBURY NOTES The services Sunday were of a helpful character, and were enjoyed by the worshipers. The members of the church were shocked to learn of the untimely death of Blo. Willie Williams, one of their number, who was accidently drowned The day while at work. Services were held for him on Thursday at Seabrook's undertaking parlor, and his body was taken by his relatives to Augusta for interment. Peace to his ashes.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH On last Sunday morning Rev. J. W. Jackson, who was conducting the revival for the past week, preached a very soul stirring sermon at which the attendance was very large. The Sunday school met at its usual hour and had a very lively meeting. A movement is on, led by Mr. John Chinney, Jr., to organize a Metoka class for young men, all young men are earnestly requested to be out and take a part. The B. Y. P. U. met at 7 o'clock and had a very interesting meeting. At the evening service Rev. Jackson preached a powerful sermon and said farewell to us. Our great mid-summer revival which closes on tomorrow night has been quite a success, many souls were aided to the church and the church in general was also revived. The crowds that attended each night shows that a great awakening was taking place. On tomorrow morning after the eleven o'clock service the ordinance of baptism will be observed. Visitors and strangers are welcome. Services tomorrow as follows, prayer meeting 5:30 a. m., preaching 11 a. m. Sunday school 12 p. m., B. Y. P. U. 7 p. m., preaching 8:30 p. m. Many Complaints About The Richmond Flaseo Washington, D. C., Aug. 4—Unless all signs fail, there is going to be trouble over the alleged "exposition" fostered by Col Giles B. Jack-on. The race at large feels that it is not in any way responsible for the flame, since Jack-on "vest-pocketed" the enterprise and made it a "one man" affair, and there is a general dis-position to side-step the concern and leave Jackson to "tread the winepress alone." Although there is now a cloud in the sky scarcely larger than a man's hand, that dark spot is nothing to what it will be athewart the horizon when the official reports are asked for by congress. The "cloud" just spoken of has taken the form of a complaint lodged with the State Account of Virginia by Dr. R. E. Jones and William Miller, two of the officers of the "Negro Historical and Industrial Exposition." These gentlemen were supposed to be officers of the corporation, but after the money has been in sight it is said they were completely ignored by Jackson and know nothing of what was going on. No meetings of the Board were called and Jackson attended to everything in person, giving no accounting to anyone nor taking anyone into his confidence. Getting wise, however, by means that have not yet been disclosed, Dr. Jones and Mr. Miller sought out Governor Stnart, laid before him charges against Jackson, claiming that his accounts were in an unsatisfactory shape and several large items indicated extravagance, if not worse. The Governor instructed him to file a written statement of what they had to say with the State Accountant. They did this and the papers are in the State archives, awaiting the return of Accountant Smith to his office. The concessionalaires, all of whom lost money on account of the poor attendance, after paying big prices for privileges, are as mad as wet hens. Exhibitors were compelled to pay fancy prices for space and they are sore when they think how little they got out of it by showing their goods to from thirty-five to fifty persons a day. New York and New Jersey are having nothing to say, and the report they will make to the folks who voted them appropriations for exhibits will make interesting reading. The big colored papers are piling on to Jackson on the one hand, or letting him alone on the other. The masses of the people prefer that the promoter get a good roasting all around, for they claim, that if the race assumes responsibility or apologizes for the farce the failure will be charged up to the race. If the press lambasts the whole thing, the shame is fastened on the shoulders of the one individual who made the affair a mess. In fact, there is a disposition in some quarters to blame the press for its misplaced lenency from the outset, in view of the previous performances on the part of the promoter. The plot thickens. It is stated that the facts concerning the "exposition" are to be laid before President Wilson for his information, and a similar statement is to be placed in the hands of the chairman of the committee on industrial arts and exposition of the two Houses of Congress. The report Jackson is to make to Congress will be rigidly scrutinized, and the movement inaugurated at Richmond by Dr. Jones and Mr. Miller will be watched with interest. From such signs as these, there is reason to believe that the biggest part of the Jackson "exposition" will be its aftermath. The life of an exposition manager is not "one grand sweet song." GREAT GUNS! In the new Gravure Section of next Sundays' World—Our National Defense! Most interesting and instructive series of new pictures, showing the national strong arm in all its strength. The great coast defense guns, their twelve-inch shells and what these shells do to sixteen-inch armour plate when they hit it. Remarkable pictures showing the latest types of submarines, photographed so near and reproduced so accurately by the new gravure process that they become almost as familiar to the eye as a rowboat. Other new pictures show the various stages in the firing of a torpedo, including one in which the torpedo is seen in actual flight. This new gravure section is worth preserving. To be sure of it order your next Sunday's World early from your news dealer. POVERTY. Poverty, my dear friend, is so great an evil and pregnant with so much temptation and so much misery that I cannot but earnestly enjoin you to avoid it.

Balzac said: "By two instinctive processes man exhausts the springs of life within him. Two verbs cover all the forms which these two causes may take—to will and to have your will." If you will to do too much in any line you exhaust the springs of life. To keep health, to keep young as long as possible, strive in work and in play, in eating and thinking, to preserve the golden mean. SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson VIII.Third Quarter, For Aug.22,1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Chron. xv, 1-15. Memory Verses, 1, 2-Golden Text, Jas. iv, 8-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In the story of Jeroboam we had a sample of all the kings of the ten tribes, for there was not a good king among them. They all walked in the ways of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. There were a few—just eight, I think—among the kings of Judah who did right in the eyes of the Lord, and Asa of today's lesson was one of them (verses 1, 2). His father, Abijah, son of Rehobam, reigned only three years (xiii, 1, 2). The Lord gave him and his army a victory over the army of Jeroboam because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers (xiii, 12, 18). His words in xiii, 12, are always helpful—"Behold, God Himself is with us for our captain." While the story of Asa is told in part of a chapter in the book of Kings (I Kings xv, 8-24), it occupies three chapters in Chronicles (xiv, xv, xvi), the first two telling of his thirty-five years of faithfulness and blessing and the last telling of five years of disobedience. What it pity that such a good king with such a long reign should waste his later years in wandering from God! But such always is man when he turns away from God. We cannot think of Asa as a lost man, though he acted so badly at the last, but he lost part of the full reward which might have been his (II John S; I Cor. iii, 11-15). Quietness and rest on every side and a whole hearted seeking, the Lord God marked the first ten years or more of his reign (xiv, 1-7; xv, 12-15). Such rest and peace and quietness is the privilege of every true believer, and when He giveth quietness who then can make trouble whether in the case of a nation or a man only (Job xxxiv, 29). It is our privilege thus to fortable the kingdom when the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect or service of righteousness quietness and assurance forever (Isa. xxxii, 1, 17). The same Lord is ever saying to all, "Come unto me, * * * and I will give you rest" (Matt. xi, 28-30), and it is written, "We who have believed do enter into rest" (Heb. iv, 3). The great adversary hates peace always, and so he stirred up the Ethiopians with an army of over a million to go against Asa, who had only about half as many men, but Asa cried unto the Lord his God in the words of that ever memorable prayer of chapter xiv, 11, so brief yet so comprehensive, which has helped me many a time, and will prove a comfort and strength to all who appropriate it. Every day and hour we should say, "We rest on Thee, and in Thy name we go." Compare part of the prayer of Jehoshaphat in chapter xx. 12, which we may also continually appropriate. Although the Ethiopians were such a huge host, yet because Asa relied on the Lord He delivered them into his hand, for the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in the behalf of (or as in the margin, strongly to hold with) them whose heart is perfect (or whole) toward Him (chapter xvI, S, 0). This ninth verse is and has been for long years a continual strength and comfort to me and is working in me an increasing desire to have a whole heart for Him, and to see no one save Jesus only. The Spirit of God brought a message of encouragement to Asa by Azariah, whose name means the strength of Jehovah, which is found in lesson verses 1-7, and the exhortation in verse 7 is for us also who believe, "Be ye strong, therefore, and let not your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded." Salvation is never of works, but always to him that worketh not but believeth (Rom. iv, 5); but we are thus saved by grace in order to serve the Living and True God, and all true service unto Him shall be rewarded (Luke xlv, 14; Rev. xxll, 12; John S). We need always the exhortation of Eph. vi. 10, "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." Asa, being thus encouraged, cleansed the land of idols, even destroying that of his own mother, but this cleansing was chiefly in Judah and Benjamin, many of the high places still remaining in Israel, over which he had no control; and yet many out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and Simeon, and other tribes fell to him in abundance when they saw that the Lord his God was with him; all because he was seeking the Lord with all his heart and soul (verses 8-15). They also renewed the altar and offered sacrifices, and there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of his reign. But the next year the king of Israel came against him, and instead of relying upon the Lord, he made a league with the king of Syria. This brought a reproof from the Lord by Hanani the seer, who reminded Asa how the Lord had wrought marvelously for him against the Ethiopians because he relied upon Him and how foolishly he had now acted by relying upon the king of Syria (xvi, 7-9). Asa, being out of fellowship with the Lord, gave place to the devil, became angry with the seer, and put him in prison and oppressed some of the people (xvl. 10). Near the close of his reign he became greatly diseased in his feet, but in this also he turned away from the Lord to purely human help. JEWELER AND WATCHMAKER ALL WORK GUARANTEED 507 WEST BROAD ST.
