SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY JANUARY 26, 1918 Carriers Hold Delightful Banquet SEVERAL VISITORS AT ANNUAL FEAST OF POSTMEN President Wm. G. Williams Delivers Impressive Inaugural Address The local city postmen held their annual banquet Saturday night at the Catholic hall. Aside from the members of the local branch of the Letter Carriers' Association there were several visitors present. The affair was a most delightful one, and provided a genuine treat for the members and their guests. The principal address of the evening was that of Wm. G. Williams, the newly elected president of the local branch. It abounded in good, wholesome advice and touched very effectively on the many problems which confront Uncle Sam's deliverers of mail. The speaker's words were very convincingly conveyed to his hearers and he was given a most hearty applause. Mr. Williams succeeds Mr. Joseph H. Green as head of the local division of carriers. Among the speakers of the evening were Messrs, Peter A. Denegal, who, at the time he left the service several years ago, had been a member of the local carriers' force for over thirty-five years; E. W. Sherman, W. S. Scott, E. C. Blackshear and I. m. Jackson All of the speakers dwelt upon the subjects having a most intimate relationship to the work of the postmen. The banquet table was laden with the many delicacies of the season and presented a feast which would satisfy the most critical epicurean. It was, beyond a doubt, the most elaborate spread ever given by the organization and was one heartily enjoyed by both guests and members. Mr. J. M. Ferrce bee acted as master of ceremonies. In the local branch of the National Association of Letter Carriers, Forest City No. 578, are 47 members who are now active members of the mail service.

This week saw the president away on business, the pleasant visits of old and new friends, and the hand of the war still coming nearer home. On Monday morning, Mrs. Elmira Steele of Chattanooga, Tenn., who was en route to the Florida Baptist Academy, accompanied by one of her children, gave us a very helpful talk.

E. Jones and Dr. L Garland Penn The Methodist Unification Commission met here this week and will probably be in session until the latter part of next week, to discuss plans for the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern wings of the Methodist church. The principal feature of the discussion, will be the Negro question which together with a few other elements of minor importance has been the barrier between these two branches of the church. Fifty delegates constitute the commission, the Northern and Southern conferences each sending twenty-five. Much interest, to be sure, is being manifested in the sub-committee of the commission which is formulating plans on the vexing Negro question. It has been stated that there are about 200,000 Negroes affiliated with the church and just what to do with them in the scheme of unification is the all absorbing question. Up to last night, nothing definite was known of the committee's recommendation on this matter. It has been suggested by one or two of the members of the committee, in newspaper interviews, that the Negro adherents might be cut off and allowed to connect themselves with the African Methodist Episcopal church or the colored Methodists church. It is not thought, however, that this plan will be adapted by the commission. The Negroes are represented on the commission by Dr. R. F. Jones of New Orleans, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and Dr. I. Garland Penn, secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society of Cincinnati. WAYCROSS, GA., NEWS Mr. A. F.

INTERESTING NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL Washington, D. C., Jan 23—The great "movie contest" carried on for the past month or so by the National colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, is over and first honor goes to Mrs. Vivian Thompson Turner. The winner of the "popularity derby" came under the wire with 5,210 votes, leading her nearest competitor Miss Isadore Kennedy, by a margin of 1,225. Mrs. Turner was a "dark horse" entering the contest late and prior to the final announcement of the vote. By securing the largest number of votes she lands the honor of being the "leading lady" in the great race photo-play the National Colored Soldiers' Committee is arranging to produce through out the country, and she also wins the handsome silver trophy cup that has been on exhibition for some time in the window of the Industrial Savings Of the men contesting for place in the photo-play and for the silver cup, Mr. Walter Turner, Jr., husband of the female victor, came out far ahead, receiving a toatl of 5,835 vote. He led Prof. J. Henry Lewis, director of the Amphion Glee Club, by 414. Mr. Turner who is a factor of the younger society circles of the community and an industrious business man, will assume the principal male role in the war film now in course of preparation. The contest, directed by Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, general secretary of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, was carried on a basis of absolute fairness and every balloter got all that was coming to him or her. The scenario of the play is being written by Marc Edmund Jones, one of the best in the profession, and it will deal in an interesting way with the valor of the colored American in war and with his progress in peace, interweaving a delightful romance that will appeal to every kind and condition of mankind. Similar contests are to be arranged in the near future for Philadelphia, New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Louisville and other places. --- Because of remarks considered as reflecting upon the integrity and fitness of Negroes for citizenship and suffrage in the District of Columbia, President Wilson has been asked to remove W. Gwynn Gardner from his place as commissioner for the District of Columbia, one of the three heads of the local government. The petition for the removal of the commissioner was presented in person by Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress, and a committee of twenty-five representative citizens. A resolution of race loyalty to the nation was also presented by the committee to the President. The delegation in the petition declared that Commissioner Gardner is temperamentally unfit for the high office he holds and asks that there be no discrimination because of color. The matter has been taken under advisement. --- If present plans mature as expected the people of Washington are to have a permanent home for the legitimate drama as interpreted by an all-star colored cast, producing the big Broadway successes week after week, without having anyone say them nay. The Quality Amusement Corporation, it is understood, has been quietly negotiating for an outlet into Washington and has signed a long lease on the Casino Theatre, conveniently located on F street. In the meantime the house is undergoing extensive alterations and repairs. The Casino is a "twin" of the Howard in architecture, and is one of the handsomest theaters in this section of the country. Mrs. Wilhelmina Waters Shelton passed away Monday at 6 p.m. at the home of her parents, Samuel J. and Fannie Gaskins Waters. She is survived by her husband, George N. Shelton, and two children, George Jr., and Darlena Shelton, and two sisters, Mrs. Bessie Nicholson and Mrs. Annie Johnson. The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Church of our Redeemer (Lutheran) Rev. D. D. Wiseman officiating. The remains were taken to Wellington, Va., for interment. The race problem threatens to show up strongly in the debate on woman suffrage in Congress. It was hinted that federal ballot laws can be made to insure to the good of the colored vote in the South—but the matter was not pressed acrimoniously. The New York World, on the outside, brought up NUMBER 21 Must Include Negro In Peace Program SAYS EDITOR MURPHY AT NATIONAL DEFENSE MEETING Governor of Maryland Praises Negroes For War Work Baltimore, Md., Jan. 24th-The patriotic services that the race is rendering in the present world war, the prominent part being played therein by the Negro and the inclusion of the race in any program looking toward genuine democracy were discussed at three big mass meetings, held here under the auspices of the colored section of the Maryland Council of National Defense on Wednesday of last week. Prominent men were in attendance from all parts of the state. The morning session was enlivened by addresses by John H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American; former Governor Philip Lee Goldsborough and Dr. Ernest Lyon, chairman of the section. Mr. Murphey who delivered the welcome address, declared that the present war was one that should benefit all mankind and that the Negro must be included in any program involving fair treatment. Dr. Lyon recounted the activities of the section in arousing the colored people of Maryland to patriotic service and outlined the plans arranged for future work. The women's auxiliary held a meeting in the afternoon, with Miss Idai R. Cummings presiding. Public Service Commissioner Albert G. Tpwers and Mrs. Minnie L. Gaines were among the speakers. An overflowing meeting was held at Albaugh's theatre in the evening with Governor Harrington, Hon. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war; and Dr. John H. Latane as the speakers. Governor Harrington unstintingly praised the work that the colored section has done and promised his aid in any movement or legislation looking toward the betterment of the race. Mr. Scott asserted that all sectional feeling must be obliterated and that unity of purpose and patriotic zeal would make the victory on the side of the allies. Resolutions were offered by Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines pleading every effort to defeat the Germans and praising Governor Harrington for naming Dr. Lyon as chairman of the colored section, as well as lauding the work that had been accomplished under his chairmanship. --- The regular quarterly meeting of the Savannah Branch of the Urban League will be held Monday night, Jan. 2Sth, at S o'clock promptly at the head quarters of the league, Gwinnett lane and West Broad street.

Gray and Dr. Ionla Whipper, of the Colored Women's Committee of the District War Service Commission, promoted a dance last Saturday night at the Odd Fellow's Hall at which 100 members of the national army, stationed at Camp Meade, were the guests of honor. Plans are on foot for the establishment of a club house for the benefit of the soldiers when they com to town. Some form of entertainment each week is being arranged for the Camp Meade boys and the capitel is doing its bit to make life pleasant for them. --- In a letter to President Wilson, Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, asked him to use his influence in organizing a Negro regiment with Negro officers throughout, calling his attention to the fact that in the French army there are two Negro generals, four, colonels and 150 captains. The President has been invited to speak at Dr. Drew's church on Lincoln's birthday. By a decision rendered last week in the District Supreme Court by Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford, there is no law to prevent individuals from bringing whiskey or other liquors into the city for personal use, and that the goods need not be labeled, as claimed by the police authorities of the district and because of which CO-odd persons were arrested in a raid a short time ago. Simple Afternoon Gowns of Great Gowns for the Lady Who Knits New York, Jan. 4—The new year holds the promise of so many things. Possibilities lurk behind every-day things that seem of themselves so uninteresting. Take for example the simple matter of underclothes. The average woman buys, this month, material enough to last for the coming year. All the stores have "White Sales" and batiste and matsook can be purchased for almost nothing. This year we have, aside from our regular resolutions, those we have made to help win the war. We are going to do our bit, and the time to start is now. M. C. H. Bewitchingly Simple and Youthful Does the simplicity we have heard preached on the subject of frocks and coats extend to the lingerie? By all means, yes. We must buy only what we really need, and use that little with forethought. The same spirit that made for victory in 1776 and the dark days that followed, is abroad today. Then our grand mothers' mothers made their own clothes, as we are doing today, but they went even further and made the material itself. This is impossible for us. It would be farcial for us to turn our backs on the perfect machinery to today and take up the hand looms and spinning wheels of our grandmothers. But we can cut our material according to our pattern, and our pattern must be simple and economical. When planning the spring wardrobe (and now is a good time to do it, for the shops are full of tempting materials and there is more time than later on when the clothes are really needed), choose the material that will wear the longest. In other words, "Be sure you're right, then go ahead." For those delightful informal af- fairs that are always so much fun, one needs a frock simple and becoming. The illustration shows a design that will appeal to the most fastidious per- son. Made of silk voile or mull, it has a youthful round neck, with an attractive collarband (if one may call so be- witching a thing by so prosale a name) of flesh-colored satin. The sleeve- bands and the girdle are of the same material, as are the three perky little ruffles across the back. The slight fulness in the waist is charmingly ar- ranged, and, as you can see, the skirt is not overly full. There is no trim- ming, the edges being picoted, that ever present solution to the problem of "finish- ingr." This is the type of dress that is appropriate for afternoon or intime wear. the knitting needles are 29 clicking for the soldiers and sailors, we will be on the lookout for new designs in knitting bags. Thew are such a comfort, if they are sensible, and hold so much else besides building. that I every much doubt if they are ever relegated to the fashion discard heap. One of the newest designs is an apron bag, a fascinating thing that you can wear around your waist when you are knitting, or draw up into the bag form when you wish to do so. All the favored materials and colors, and also combinations of shades, are used for these interesting necessities. Brilliant corals lined with navy blue, purple and red—oh, there are any number of ways means to colorful combinations. Soft folds and long lines delight the eyes in this charming afternoon gown. There is a bit of trimming, very little, to be sure, but present it is in the braiding design around the simple neck, on the wide sleeves and on the skirt. The dress reminds one of the gracious Grecian ladies, so artistic and simple it is. Made of smoke-gray volle, lined, perhaps, with turquoise blue, and braided in exactly the right shade of gray, it is perfectly charming and utterly irresistible. THE .EVANGELICAL MINISTERS UNION The Evangelical Ministers' Union met Tuesday at Asbury M. E. church in its regular weekly meeting. The meeting was called to order by Rev. J. S. Stripling who requested Rev. W. G. Alexander to conduct the devotional exercises. After a hymn, prayer and the reading, responsibly, of the Third. pralter, Rev. R. V.

SCHOOL NO.13 "IT'S THE HOUSE OF MIRTH OUTPUT, PROFESSOR" AMONG THE MASONS Death Knows no Mason When lives were snuffed out by fire, flood and water in such number that the strong men shudder as they read the startling stories of the sudden slaughter, your life was spared. Why? Death does not stop to ask of any man: "Are you a Mason?" The messenger that brings the summons to the otherwise is no respector of person. You might have lost your life in the conflict with wind water or fire—any of the three villains is likely to overtake you today! The secret of a Master Mason will pass you into the Grand Lodge on high, provided you have them in your heart and not in your mind alone. You and I have yet to face death. Are we ready? Death knows no Mason and no Mason knows death—Masonic Sentinel. All service ranks the same with God; there is no last to first—Browning. On Its Trial Masonry is to a greater extent than ever before on its trial today. Mentel us it is drifting, that its ideas are growing dim, its practices feeble. That cannot be. Till time shall be no more, whether there be any to proclaim faith, and exemplify its teachings or not, the only true and ancient brotherhood must go down on the page of history as the herald of an ideal faith. "Faith in God and the unseen in what the world most needs." That is the faith Free-masonry proclaims, but its power to affect the world, to-leaven its materialism and indifference lies in the life of its members.—Brotherhood. Masons Should Set Good Examples Masons are marked men. The public expects much of them, and it has a right to expect. From which it can be seen that a Mason has large responsibilities. He owes it to the order of brethren to keep close guard over his life and actions, that he does not say or do those things which bring reproach upon them. Does he not owe to the public such a life and conduct as will confer benefit instead of doing positive harm? No Mason of any grade should knowingly set the example which, if imitated by young men of others, would mean damage to them. If what we have is said is not true, please tell us why—Masonic Journal. There is in Masonry nothing to occasion the enmity of any person. Opposition to Masonry is entirely due to ignorance. If Masons would live according to the principles of the institutions, to say "Those are Masons" would be equivalent to proclaiming them as just and upright men, for they would be living by the golden rule. Orphans Friend. A. Mohammedin Mason King Oudh; a Mohammedan, an East ship Lodge, London, England. A volume of the koran was used in the inIndian, was made a Mason in Friend-Itiation, which was furnished by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, and the Candidate was obligated on it by the Worshipful Master, who was an English Clergyman.—Masonic Voice Review. --- Every Masonle Lodge is a tempi of religion, and its teachings are instructions in religion, for here are interestness, affection, toleration, devotedness, patriotism, truth, a generous sympathy for those who suffer, and mourn, pity for the fallen, mercy for the erping, relief for those in want, Falt, Hope and Chairty. Here we meet as brethren to learn to know and love each other. Here we greet each other gladly, are lenient to each other's faults, regardful of each other's feelings, ready to relieve each other's wants. This is the true religion revealed to the ancient partriarchs, which Masonry has taught for many centuries, and which it will continue to teach as long as time endures.—Albert Pike. Prehaps the best answer to the alleged godlessness of Freemasonry is the fact that fully 30,000 ministers of the gospel in America are members of the craft. ```markdown ``` Does This Mean Xoy? "It is somewhat appalling to note the indifference existing among so many Masons on the subject of reading, and the enormous amount of energy expended in trying to 'pass through the chair' without leaving anything. Too many Masons of the present day are Past Masters, Past High Priests and Past Commanders, and are proudly wearing the fiz of the Shrine, when the simplest lesson of the entered apprentice degree has never dawned upon them. What has a brother gained by passing through the chairs, in all of the bodies, who has not learned to subdue the passions—the unruly tongue' the desire for intoxicants, the habit of gambling, the unholy words that day by day fall from his lips? A Mason who has not learned to control a sharp, cutting tongue in conversation should never be allowed to receive more than the first degree—he would not keep the obligation of the second if he could not keep that of the first."—Selected. Membership in a Masonic lodge is of small importance unless you live its principles in your daily life. It is the life we live and not the attached names that make men great in this world.—Globe. BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Butler Presbyterian Church, Rev. S. T. Redd, pastor. On Sunday the pastor preached two very interesting sermons.

To the Editor of The Tribune, Dear Sir: Please allow me space in your valuable columns to commend a young man, a school teacher, whom it was my good fortune to observe doing a quiz. I effective work among the good people of Hardeville, S. C. I refer to Mr. F. C. Hunter, who has been in charge of the school there for the past two years. It was my privilege to visit this progressive little place on my regular rounds last month, as presiding elder, and I found Mr. Hunter busily en gaged with his school, training the little ones for life's work, in a way that highly commended itself to me. I found that he is not only interested in the progress of his school room work, but that he is intensely concerned with the advancement of the people generally in his community. I spent an hour in his school. The pupils show in every respect the careful training he is giving them. The school room and grounds are a model of neatness and the order fine. The school is well equipped and the building well furnished. It was, I found out, used by the whites as their school house and when it became too small for them it was given over to the Negroes. The white trustees are to be commended for the excellent condition in which the building is kept; it shows they are interested in the welfare of the Negro children. Mr. Hunter is a former Savannahian and a graduate of the Georgi State College. He has proven himself to be a faithful, efficient and wide-awake teacher and stands high in the estimation of the patrons of the school. It was, Mr. Editor, with much pleasure that I observed the excellent work of this young man from your home town. Very respectfully yours, I. W. Coles, R. 1, box 30 SUNDAY AT THE Y M. C. A.

Saturday January 26th, 1918 DISCRIMINATION IN FRANCE Ordinary thinkers would conclude that Americans in France—those who have gone forth to do battle—would be engaged in too serious business to spend their precious time and energy, mayhap their last, in establishing the vexing institution of discrimination and prejudice "over there," the sole refuge of the Negro who would be free indeed. The record however, is against this reasoning and conclusion. It is correctly reported, and upon fairly good authority up to date and upon evidence which is strengthening with investigation that a great, well-planned and carefully studied scheme has been put in vogue in the principal cities of France, where great numbers of soldiers are wont to congregate in periods of furlough to acquaint Frenchmen with "how we treat Negroes in America." This propaganda is being carried to all classes of French people. Smaller cafes, saloons and business places are being threatened with boycott by the soldiers if these places shall continue to serve the Negro trade. Of course the soldiers trade is a considerable matter in the business of the small merchant and he no doubt is governed by the dictates of that element which makes the large majority. Little proof is needed to establish the fact that this practice is on in France. No principle of patriotism or other important affair is of such prime importance to southern soldiers as the preservation of these ideals of discrimination. Has he not driven Negro troops from South Carolina? Has he not goaded them to riot and disgrace in Texas? Has he not stripped the nation's military uniform from the bodies of Negro soldiers in Mississippi? Has he not repeatedly refused to salute the Negro officers of higher rank? Has he not even caused to be introduced into the Congress legislation which seeks to enable him to get around saluting Negro officers? Does not lynching and burning and riot go merrily on? Of course the mere change of habitat cannot and will not change a man's moral nature very radically. The eight discipline and dignity of the nation's military regime will not. So of course, we will have transplanted into France, bitherto pure and free and undefiled by the poison of prejudice, the curse of America. A young white officer, hailing from America, lamenting the condition and the injustice and wrong of it all, writes to his sister in Harrisburg, Pa., saying, "——and the the unfortunate thing is, they are going to succeed." And thus the war has given the world acquaintance with the American idea of Democracy and Liberty. DRS. R. E. JONES AND I. G. PENN The presence in Savannah of Doc I. Garland Penn of Cincinnati, along J. Garland Penn of Cincinnati, along with several white members of the Commission of Church Unity of the two great wings of the Methodist Church, has marked significance for solored people. These distinguished churchmen are members of one of the most distinguished committees which might be appointed, and, along with the white members thereof, are charged with one of the gravest duties and decisions which might be imposed upon any set of highly competent and distinguished men. Because of this recognition of these distinguished men and the high service which is entrusted to them to perform, they represent to the Negro youth of the land the wide possibilities and opportunities of the young men of vision, character and intelligence. Their presence here is a recognition of their ability and fitness to safeguard the interests of the thousands of Negro members of the great church to which they themselves belong, the church they are here to represent, and whose future fate to a large extent is in their hands. It is a signal and distinguished honor which these learned Christian gentlemen enjoy and represent, and it makes one proud and hopeful of the race. Step by step through the years, these two men have won their spurs, through hard work and righteous living. It has been no sudden or accidental elevation to power with them. Their successes, the one as editor of the South-Western Christian Advocate, other as secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society, have come after many unknown years of diligent, palus-taking toll in the ranks below. We happen to know the genuineness and eminent qualities of these men, and we call upon all the citizens of Savannah, irrespective of creed or condition to open your doors and hearts to these eminent and excellent representatives of the race. MORE PAY FOR TEACHERS MORE PAY FOR TEACHERS Dr. Walter Wilson, of the Board of Education, appears to have won his long, hard fight for increased pay for the teachers of Savannah and Chatham county schools. He deserved to win for he espoused a worthy cause and the hard-working teachers deserve the money they are getting. The school teacher can have no "slide line" with which to supplant his meager pay. If he had, he would neglect his teaching and give inefficient service at his jobs. If he does his full duty in the class-room he has no energy for other work and little time, save for recuperation and preparation. Pay the teachers well. It is the best investment of public funds. It will bring rich returns in well-trained youth and obliterate illiteracy. There is a wholesome incentive, too, for greater preparedness and greater zeal and earnestness on the part of the teacher. CONTINUE WAR TOPIC SERMONS A crowd of anxious hearers greeted Elder Manns last Sunday night as he carefully pointed to historical statements showing that the Mediterranean is the storm-center of all Europe, and has been for years. He further proved that the Colonial policies of England, France, Germany, Italy and Russia have, in the main, revolved about the control of the lands bordering about the Mediterranean. It was clearly seen that the Near East is the storm center of the conflict, and that the real bone of contention is Constantinople which is now being held by the Turk. It was also seen that years ago, when Napoleon and the Czar Alexander sat down at Tilsit to divide the world between them, Alexander said to Napoleon: "Give or take what you will, but give me Constantinople. For Constantinople, my people are prepared to make any sacrifice." Three Sunday nights more will be given to this present-day topic. The public is invited to attend every meeting. The subject for Sunday night, "The crash of earth's empires foretold in prophecy." Song service 7:45, and preaching at 8:15. BROOKLYN. N. Y. NEWS McKinley Lodge No. 43, K. of P., held an interesting meeting at its castle rooms, 118 Myrtle Ave., on Wednesday night, Jan. 16.

Memory Monroe—In loving memory of our dear one, Mrs. Matilda M. Monroe, whose home-going occurred January 27th, 1912. Think of stepping on shore, and finding it, heaven. Think of taking hold of a hand and finding it God's hand. Think of breathing a new air, and finding it celestial air. Think of feeling invigorated, and finding it immortality. Think of passing from storm and tempest to an unbroken calm. Think of waking up and finding it home. She is dwelling on the mountain, Where the golden sunlight gleams, O'er a land whose wondrous beauty Far exceeds her fondest dreams, Where the air is pure ethereal, Laden with the breath of flowers, She is resting by the fountain, Neath the Amaranthine bowers. We thing of her just as the same dear mama, who is not dead; she is just away. GREEN—In sad but loving remembrance of our devoted wife and mother, Jane Green, who departed this life Jan. 10, 1918. Several days have passed, dear mother, though it seems like today Your kind voice in our home is still and your vacant place can't be filled. Mother we miss you darling in the grave yard softly sleep. We love you mother but Jesus loved you best. You shall never, never be forgotten, never shall your memory fade. Sweetest thoughts shall always linger around the grave where you were laid. Mr. Jim Green. Son, Walter Roberts Miss Sallie Roberts Mrs. Annie Pitts, N. J. Mr. Paul Roberts. Daughter-in-law, Annis Roberts KING—In loving but sad remembrance of Mrs. J. C. King who departed this life Jan. 23, 1917. Just to think, one year today. Julia dear was called away; Her dimpled cheeks were fair to see. As she was loved so tenderly. How we've missed you is hard to tell, Since the day you said farewell; But we know 'twas His will, And his hand guides us still. Then oh, why should we stop to ponder, When we know your tolls are past; We will some day join you up yonder, And sing "Home at last, home at last." Your loving husband, Mr. P. R. King Mother, Mrs. M. Garrison Son, Richard Drayton Friend, Mrs. G. E. Carter D'ANTIGNAC—In sad but loving remembrance of our dearly beloved daughter and sister, Fleater D'antignac who departed this life Jan 22, 1916. Two years have passed, dear daughter, Though it seems just yesterday; Your kind voice in our home is still. And your vacant place can't be filled. Fleater, dear Fleata, thou art gone but not forgotten. We love you daughter, but Jesus loved you best. No more footsteps shall we hear, It was a bitter pain a shock severe. Long and peaceful be thy rest, Lean thou on the Saviour's breast; But alas thou art no more, Thou has gone to yon bright shore My loss is great. I can't explain, Sleep on dear Fleater, we will meet again. Loving mother, Mrs. C. A. D'antignae Sisters, Misses Marguerite and Albertha D'antignae Bro. Isaac D'antignae CHARLTON-In memory of Mrs. Sarah Charlton, born Dec. 21, 1844 at Savannah, Ga., died Jan. 3, 1917. Mrs. Charlton held the position of secretary of Charitable Progress Society for 37 years and that of the Rising Daughters of Ezekiel from its organization to the time of her death. Had she lived until the second Sunday in February, 1917, she would have been a member of the Second Baptist church just fifty-two years. She was among the successful contestants for the Luddens prize in the early 80's. At that time a singing contest was held and a prize was offered for expression and time. Prof. B. S. Reid is one of the survivors of the contest. Some of her very last hours were spent in singing that sweet old song: "Grace, its a charming sound." She was a devoted mother, a kind friend and faithful Christian and quiet and pleasing in her manner. Her devotion to her family was beautiful and her place can never be filled.. Her memory will ever be cherished by her daughters, Mrs. A. E. Hunter and Mrs. J. C. Miller, grand children, friends and co-workers. Mrs. Matilda Williams and Mrs. Linda Richards.

SATURDAY JANUARY 28, 1918 Harrell's Dry Cleaning Co. Places Big Order for Vacuum Deoderizing and French Cleaning Solutions with Large Northern Company A LETTER TO THE TRADE If bathing is essential to cleanliness, why not regular cleaning and pressing to preserve that degree of dignity and poise so valuable to a bustling business man? DON'T FORGET TO ATEN The Annual Mid-winter Dance OF Eureka Club AT MASONIC TEMPLE Think it over Thrice Then delegate to us the responsibility of keeping your garments thoroughly cleaned at sensible prices. We have enrolled on our registry the past week, a number of men and women who love to look the part, and we are very anxious to enroll more and let you see just what we can do, and are doing, in our modern and up-to-date plant. Now then, come around and see; seeing is believing. Do you realize the importance of keeping your clothes cleaned and pressed? To have it done weekly or twice monthly "Our Way" will double the quality of your garments. Actually fewer clothes to buy, but above and beyond this economic feature, your presentation of Self will gain good-will, good fellowship and the desire on the part of all business men to respect you, because you are self-respecting. Test this plan of "fixing up" for it pays to look the part of a thoroughbred. There are any number of people who feel when they have their linens cleaned that all is well. They haven't stopped to think that their top clothing catches more dirt and more germs. They haven't begun to think that their hats, overcoats, business suits and all wearing apparel carry in them dirt, just the same as an old carpet that has been in their home for several months. Well then, take a whisk broom and dust your garments off, then you say all the dust is off; yes, it is off, but take a stick and hit them a few times and you will see where the dirt is. Doctors will tell you that any woolen or silk garment carries germs. You can carry more disease in your home in one day than you can get out in a life time. You go to see your friend or go to do a little charity work or go in a store to purchase a few articles where any number of people have been in, there are germs. When you first buy it, the first thing you should do, if it is wool or silk, in order to preserve your health and to keep your home sanitary, is to have it renovated. Harrell's process kills germs.

It was a most masterful discourse and was listened to by a large crowd. The speaker took for a subject "Christian Service or the Renewal of Strength by Christian Service." It was delivered with all the wonderful force and beauty for which the speaker is known from one end of the country to the other and was indeed a most fitting cap stone for this memorable series of services. The prayer service was led by Deacon Marsh after which an anthem was sung by the choir, "Blessed Be the Name of the Lord." Rev. Lee Gilmore read the lesson, the 23d Psalms, which was followed by a solo, "Jesus M y Saviour," sung by Mrs. D. J. Hamilton.

Contrary to the custom of past anniversaries, the celebration was one day only, as in contrast with the one week idea of the past. Large and enthusiastic congregations of the members and friends attended all the services of the day. The pastor, Rev. T. J. Goodall, preached at each service, preaching the universally sermon at night. from the subject. "God's Orders to His Church to go Forward." The sermon was given unstinted praise by those who heard it, and is said to have been one of the ablest heard here in recent years. The choir rendered beautiful music for the occasion. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. rendered anniversary programs in conection with their regular work, and the attendance in these departments was unusually large, each department being in charge of superintendent Lee and President Ayers. Brief programs were carried out in connection with the regular morning and evening services. Although there was no rally, the members contributed liberally to the cause, and the total collection for the day was $348.31. The various auxiliaries contributed to the days collection as follows: Dorcas Sewing Circle to the church $85.00 and to the pastor $15.00 as a birth day present, which is not counted in the day's collection. Mrs. T. J. Goodall is president of the Circle. Choir $10.00. Wo- [Pictorial portrait of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. Rev. T. J.

In reviewing the past year's work, the members have many things to be thankful for, all expenses for the year were paid, and a neat balance was brought forward. During the year just closed the congregation bought and paid for cash, one house and lot. Increased the insurance on the building, and continued the improvements on the church house, which was started in 1910, and paid cash for everything that was done. Our auditorium is now the most beautiful in the South, and further improvements will be carried out during the present year, which will also be cash work. The First African Baptist church, aside from being the oldest Negro church in America, has the oldest brick church in Georgia, and probably in the south, the present building was erected before the war in 1859, and was enlarged about twenty-seven years ago by the late Rev. E. K. Love, and has seating capacity of 2,200, and in spite of the age of the building it is one of the most modern in the state. The church was organized one hundred and thirty years ago at Bramptons' barn a few miles from the city of Savaunah, and in spite of its age, and many upneavals it is one of the most progressive congregations in the United States, and the present congregation is thoroughly valued, and UNCLE SAM'S FIRST FUEL CONSERVATION SIGN Keep Your Rooms at 68 SAVE COAL UncleSamNEEDSit UNCLE SAM AFFILIATION fats are fuel for fighters bake- boil- and broil more — fry less United States Food Administration peace reigns supreme.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNESATURDAY JANUARY 26.1918 RIBLE INSTITUTE ATTRACTED LARGE CROWDS AT WAYCROSS Waycross, Ga.—Tuesday night of last week, Dr. D. W; Cannon, president of the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress of America, opened a bible institute here at St. Peter Baptist church. The institute continued through Sunday. This is the first institute conducted at St. Peter, and Rev. A. A. Burns, the pastor, and his congregation co-operated heartily toward making the visit of Dr. Cannon a blessing to the ministers, members and people, generally. The weather was for the most part, incident during the week, but sufficient interest was created to overbalance the inclementy, and to make the entire week one of profit and pleasure. Resolutions were adopted by the church, asking Dr. Cannon to return to the city and conduct another institute at the earliest possible convenience. A resolution of thanks was tendered him by the congregation, generally, for his worthy effort and effective service. Dr. Cannon expressed himself as having been the recipient of one of the most auspicious affair since the opening of his present litterary Rev. Burns is much gratified at the results attained in the institute and now looks forward to a much greater event upon Dr. Cannon's return in the late summer. ST. PHILIP A. M. E.

The attendance was large and the day one of much inspiration. Dr. W. G. Alexander, the presiding elder, preached at both the morning and evening services. Both sermons were excellent and provided much valuable food for thought. The report on memoirs, read at the conclusion of the evening service, showed that six members had died during the quarter which began in October and ended the eighteenth of this month. The following reports were read at the conference Friday night: Trustee' report, by Mr. Jesse Brinson; sterwards' report, by Mr. John Mitchell Sunday school report, by Mr. William Pleasant; stewardess No. 1, by Mrs. B. J. Jackson; stewardness No. 2, by Mrs. Mattle Thomas; auxiliary No. 1, and also the missiary reports, by Mrs. Lilla G. Ballard; auxiliary No. 2, by Miss Rachel Regers; A. C. E. League, by Mr. F. H. Thomas. There were also reports from the Sarah Allen Sewing circle, senior and junior choirs. Dr. Alexander was well pleased with the reports. Mrs. Anna Murry was the successful competitor in the teachers' contest for having added the largest number of pupils to her Sunday school class. She was presented a beautiful pocket book bible for having won the contest. The presentation was made by Mr. S. M. Mitchell. The contest resulted in about fifty new members to the Sunday school. "Taking others to Jesus" will be the tople of discussion in the Sunday school tomorrow, and "Christian Ideals" will be discussed in the A. C. E. League. Dr Alexander will address the school tomorrow afternoon at 3'clock. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH During the celebration of the one hundredth and thirtieth anniversary of the F. B. B. church, according to arrangements, Wednesday night before last was Second Baptist night on the program. The pastor, Rev. P. Wilson Wrenn, his officers, choir and a goodly number of members were present and conducted the services. The night was very cold and the attendance was only fair, but the services were interesting. Last Sunday, Rev. Wrenn had a good audience at both hours. The leaders of both groups are injecting much interest and enthusiasm in the finance campaign for the ninety day rally.

If more than once daily, and then serve meat cold or in made dishes. Use nearly the same food value as milk. Milk.—Use all of the milk, whole milk; therefore, use less cream not using all skim and sour milk to make cottage cheese. Use buttermilk. Fats (butter, lard, etc.).—Dairy. Therefore, use it on the table as use as possible in cooking. Reduce the portion of lard and other fats. Use veal. Save daily one-third of an ounce of fat and the glycerine necessary for soap at home, and, in some local soap maker, who will thus secure our sugar. Use less candy and sweet. Use honey, maple syrup, and or without butter or sugar. Do not from sugar in putting up fruits and jams. Vegetables and fruits.—We have Double the use of vegetables. They are meat, and, at the same time, are potatoes and roots properly and the fuel.—Coal comes from a distanced for war purposes. Burn fewer fires. Our problem is to feed our Allies this winter by sending them as much food as we can of the most concentrated nutritive value in the least shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork, dairy products, and sugar. Our solution is to eat less of these and more of other foods of which we have an abundance, and to waste less of all foods. Bread and cereals.—Have at least one wheatless meal a day. Use corn, rye, barley, or mixed cereal rolls, muffins, and breads in place of white bread certainly for one meal and, if possible, for two. Eat less cake and pastry. As to the white bread, you buy from a baker, order it a day in advance; then he will not be able beyond his needs. Cut the loaf on the table and only as required. Use oil or flour and cooking. Meat.—Use more poultry, rabbits, and especially fish and sea food in place of beef, mutton, and pork. Do not use either beef, mutton, or pork more than once daily, and then serve smaller portions. Use all left-over meat cold or in made dishes. Use soup more freely. Use beans; they have nearly the same food value as meat. Bilk.—Use all of the milk, waste no part of it. The children must have whole milk; therefore, use less cream. There is a great waste of food by not using all shim and sour milk. Sour milk can be used in cooking and to make cottage cheese. Use buttermilk and cheese freely. Fats (butter, lard, etc.)—Dairy butter has food values vital to children. Therefore, use it on the table as usual, especially for children. Use as little as possible in cooking. Reduce the use of food foods to reduce the consumption of hard and other fats. Use vegetable oils, as olive and cottonseed oil. Save daily one-third of an ounce of animal fat. Waste no soap; it contains fat and the glycerine necessary for explosives. You can make scrubbing soap at home, and, in some localities, you can sell your saved fats to the soap maker, who will thus secure our needed glycerine. Sugar.—Use less candy and sweet drinks. Use less sugar in tea and coffee. Use honey, maple syrup, and dark syrups for hot cakes and waffles without butter or sugar. Do not frost or ice cakes. Do not stint the use of sugar in putting up fruits and jams; they may be used in place of butter. Vegetables and fruits.—We have a superabundance of vegetables. Double the use of vegetables. They take the place of part of the wheat and meat, and, at the same time, are healthy. Use potatoes abundantly. Store potatoes and roots properly and they will keep. Use fruits generously.

Causey of the People's Health and Life Insurance Company has been out of the city for the fast eight or ten days. During his absence, he visited the home office at Macon, Ga., and found the business of his company in a healthy and prosperous condition. Mr. Causey visited other districts in Southwest Georgia and added life to the agent forces of the company wherever he went. The management of the company expresses absolute satisfaction in the methods and practices of Mr. Causey, because they realize that they have the services of a real insurance man. At Thomasville, Mr. Causey found matters in splendid shape and his presence there added new life and zest to the agents. We feel proud of men of worth and respectability in whatever sphere they may operate. We therefore rejoice that our city is the possessor of a man who is representative in the community and adds his quota to the life and conduct of the municipality.—Advertisement.
