The Savannah Tribune. MEMBERS OF METHODIST COMMISSION ADDRESS CROWD Growth of Methodism Shown by Bishop John W. Hamilton Four members of the Methodist Unification Commission which is in session here addressed the colored citizens Wednesday night at St. Philip A. M. E. church, Charles and West Broad streets. The crowd which greeted the speakers was one of the largest and most representative gathered here for an occasion of this sort for some time. Every available seat in the edifice was occupied and many persons were forced to take standing space when the program, was begun. The daily papers had been full of the all absorbing topic which has been and is still presenting the commission much concern what disposition is to be made of the perplexing Negro question as it affects the proposed union of the Northern and Southern branches of the Methodist Episcopal church. It was apparent from both the size of the audience and also remarks made here and there before the meeting that a large majority of those present had come to get a little first hand information of what disposition is to be made of the Negro if the proposed union of these two great sections of Methodism should be affected and also to pay honor to the distinguished divines who were to speak. In this desire to hear a discussion of the Negro question as it pertains to the work of the commission the crowd met with a disappointment for not a word was uttered on this all absorbing question, all of the speakers making a seemingly studied effort to avoid reference in any respect to this topic. The first of the four distinguished visitors to speak was the Rev. A. F. Watkins, of Mississippi, who touched upon the life of the Negro prior to the civil war, his vivid recollection of the first set of Negro men or masters over the Negroes and the better days of the immediate past a long in which, as he termed it, "no living man has a right to be called master by another." The latter part of his talk was on education and the loyalty of the South to the Stars and Stripes in the great war the nation is now involved in. Following Rev. Watkins came Dr. I. Garland Penn., of Cincinnati, secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society. Dr. Penn urged the Negro to do his part in the present world struggle. He emphasized the necessity of the Negro giving his undivided strength to the many war necessities of the country and urged every member of the race to fall in line and support the government to the utmost in every way possible. Bishop John W. Hamilton, a tried and true friend of the Negro, was the next speaker. He told of his work among Negro schools of the denomination for a period of eight years prior to his succeeding to the bishopric and emphasized his delight at being present to address such a large and representative crowd of Negroes. The principal theme of his discussion was the growth of Methodism. He stated that in the Methodist church there were about thirty-three million persons in this country either directly or indirectly associated. He said that because of the bigness of the denomination it was expected to do big things and to take big, broad ground in all questions in which it is interested. Prior to his address the audience was requested to rise and greet the bishop. The Rev. R. E. Jones, of New Orleans, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, who with Dr. Pemp constitutes the two Negro portion of the commission, was the last of the visiting speakers. He dwelt principally upon the attitude which the Negro should assume, one of love and forgiveness. His remarks were very effective and several times he was interrupted by repeated applause. His reference to the part which the Negro is playing in the war, the effect which the struggle is going to have on his future and the ultimate victory which will be the Negro's if he but does well the work assigned to him brought forth many amens from the vast audience. The speaker touched very pointedly upon the theory of amalgamation of the ra- i. THE HISTORY OF THE HOLY TRANSITION Is this the First Negro Baptist Church erected on the spot now occupied by the First Bryan Baptist church or is it a picture of Brampton's barn, which was located on the old Bramptonplantation, three miles out on the Auroad, where the first Negro church was organized? The Rev. T. J. Goodall of the First African Baptist church says that it is a picture of Brampton's barn. The Tribune stated last week that it is a picture of the First Negro Baptist church erected in America and stood on the site now occupied by the First Bryan Baptist church. Will some one please enlighten us on this subject? Here's a chance for the older ones with good memories to give a valuable bit of information to the public. Come on with your information, ye wise ones, and let us have your say on this matter! Under the auspices of the Board of Trustees of Charity Hospital for the benefit of its building fund, the Williams.

MASONS TO HAVE MODERN LODGE ROOMS Several Thousand Dollars to be Spent in This Work The Masonic Building Association, composed of the local Masonic lodges, owning the Masonic Temple, West Gwinnett street, has decided to make modern improvements on the third floor of the building. Arrangements have been made with Contractor W. J. Ayers to do the work. A new dead floor will be placed in and the north lodge room enlarged by rearrangement of the partitions. A new lighting system will be arranged, and new furniture installed. The ceiling will be of steel and that with the wall becoming tinted. Steam radiators will be placed on the entire floor. When finished it will be the most cozy lodge room in the county. Work began this week. res as a means of solving the Negro question. He stated that he was opposed to such a solution until the Negro had accomplished more, had given more fully of his accomplishments to civilization so that when the resultant composite man should emerge from the admixture of bloods he may look to the Negro blood in his veins with as much pride as to that of the other component parts of his make-up. He said that the Negro race is just at the beginning of its upward march and that the future holds many good things in store for it if only in its fight for the mastery it uses aright the trials and tribulations of the past. The Rev. R. V. Branch, pastor of the church, made a few introductory remarks welcoming the the gathering, and then turned the meeting over to President R. R. Wright of the Ga. State College, who acted as master of ceremonies. Muscle for the evening was furnished by the church choir and the glee club of the Ga. State College. The Rev. G. W. Alexander led the invocation. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 2, 1918 The demonstration work in Chatham county is becoming day after day a wider field of service for both the white and colored people of the country. This work among the whites was organized here in 1916. Seeing the need of the same work among the colored people, Mr. C. B. Gibson, the new superintendent of public schools established among the colored people the Home Improvement Work, September 1917. Miss Juanita Conyers, graduate of the Tuskegee Institute in 1916 was appointed as the home demonstration agent for Chatham and adjoining counties. A part of this work is being supported by the Board of Education of the city. Miss Conyers has her headquarters for the work at the Cuyler Street school. Under the new administration the industrial idea is spreading with rapid success throughout the county. Superintendent Gibson is pushing the industrial work in all the schools. This year there were two modern rural schools erected for the colored people of Chatham county with steam heat, new patent desks and other modern conveniences. With the large population of the rural communities there is a wonderful opportunity for agricultural developments which are untouched, owing to the fact that the people in this section are engaged in work mostly on the basis of commerce. Mr. F. A. Williams, the district agent for the state, is reaching the colored people throughout the state. His efforts in the demonstration work is of untold value to the farmers. He has his headquarters at the Georgia State College. woldorf salad. Manhattan sponge cake and coffee. The party praised the was especially pleased with wading of the sewing, man laundry, saving and gardens. Prof. Thompson privileged of donating a Cuyler's gardening fund, the fund to $44.00.

Crogman, was daintly served in six Misses Edith Alfred, Are and Amanda Life. Miss her class were highly co the guest for the man they do things. The exp December 14, 1917 a conservation dinner was served at the Cuyler school. This dinner was given for twenty-four farmers' wives of the county, being prepared and served by the girls of the domestic science department of the school in the practice dining room under the direction of Miss Conyers with the assistance of Miss Cornelia McDowell the domestic teacher. It is to be an annual affair and is given to get the people in closer touch with the demonstration work also to bring the city and county system in more sympathetic union. At present a White Wash Campaign is being conducted in the county by Mr. Williams and Miss Conyers. Fort Argyle which is fourteen miles from the city is to be the model community in this work. Miss Conyers is teaching the mothers the simple ways of house-keeping also demonstrations in economy of cooking are given. A door-mat made from the corn-shucks is being made and left at each home where the work is done. the people are taking great interest in the work, and are seeking every opportunity to better their home life in the rural districts.

MARRIED NUMBER 22 Urban League Assisted Many REPORT SHOW MUCH SUFFERING ALLEVIATED Over Four Hundred Dollars Raised in Christmas Campaign The regular quarterly meeting of the Urban League was held at headquarters last Monday night, the principal feature being the quarterly reports of the president and the director, in addition to reports on the Christmas campaign, the Community Christmas cam-Celebration at Dixon Park and the reports on the concert recently held at the auditorium. The report of President Johnson showed that during the holidays, 148 families had been supplied with wood 14 families were furnished groceries and a great many men, women and children furnished with shoes, clothing, hats and underwear. At Yamacaw Centre, seventy-five children, composng lthe League's Sunday school and Kindergarten, were provided with a Christmas tree, every child receiving at least one present. Many of these were given clothing and wearing apparel, caps etc. Miss McDowell, supervisor of the work, assisted by ladies of the kindergarten, are to be congratulated upon this splendid service. The director of the League reported the steady growth of the Yamacraw Kindergarten and the zeal of the ladies promoting it. During the Christmas campaign, a total of $416.86 was collected of which $245.00 remains following the Christmas expenditures. Scores of persons, principally our own people, but many public spirited white citizens and merchants, subscribed and contributed to this worthy work. The work of the League is attracting attention beyond the confines of this city, because of its splendid services to this city, and because of the large number of leading citizens, men and women, who give not merely of their means, but of their time to planning and working on the field. It now begins to look as if a Free Clinic for Tuberculosis will soon be added to the several features of Yamacaw Centre. The Young Adelphia Aid and Social Club and the Ladies' Branch, held a joint meeting on Monday night last, at their club rooms. 509 West Waldburg street, as it is their custom every year to hold a joint meeting.

PAGE TWO COMMON SENSE SUGGESTIONS FOR JANUARY Falm Beach Sends Advance Spring Idens New York, Jan. 18.—All over the country January is known as the month for "white sales". Then it is we thoughtful ones lay in supplies of table and household linens and materials for lingerie to last the year through. This year, there are more sales than ever, and wonderful bargains in silk remnants for the mid-season and Easter frocks, and dainty volles and other summery goods. If one could keep one's head when suddenly surrounded by these endless possibilities, one could really work wonders with a slender purse. So, perhaps, it would be an excellent idea to make a list before the shopping tour, of just what is absolutely neces- © MCCALL Charming Dress of Flowered Silk sary and also of the different uses of the material, which will probably be on sale. Short lengths of lustrous silks made stunning slip-over blouses, or if there is more in the piece, one of the new narrow skirts may be cut from it. When one may make an entire dress from two yards of fifty-four-inch material, it pays to buy the wider goods. Georgette crepe may be used for sleeves of a frock, so that a small piece combined with satin can be made to go a long way. Some of the newest dresses have a plastron effect on the waist, of silk or satin (the material and color of the skirt); with the waist and sleeves of sheer goods, such as © MCCALL. For the Separate Waist and Skirt Georgette crepe or silk volle. Palm Beach is wearing calico! The quaint old patterns of our grandmothers' day, dots, squar and ridiculous little flowers. have been made upp into adorable dresses. There are ruffles and futings and tucks to add to the bewitching effects, but the main idea of simplicity is never quite lost, and so we may be fashionably dressed in sensible calico, to serve our country. Doubtless the 'calico craze" of 1918 will repeat the "gingham craze" of 1917. Already there are many designs for summer dresses. It is an excellent plan to start the spring and summer wardrobe now; and collaborating with you are the stores, where dainty materials may be purchased, and the fashion authorities, who are launching new modes. Illustrated here is a very-simple little dress which may be made of silk or cotton materials. Suitable for the indoor frock where heat is well regulated or for warmer days to come, it has many interesting features. The skirt measures two yards at the lower edge, though it appears wider, and the tucks of the same width as the hem nerve as the only trimming. The waist has a vest and collar of plain material, and the sleeves have deep gauntlet cuffs. The belt or girdle may be of the same material as the vest or of satin or silk as preferred: Quite a new idea is the sash of colored organdie with crisp flyaway ends. Indeed, organdie promises to be just as popular this year as last. One interesting frock was of flame-colored organdie with white organdie kerchief and cuffs. There is a great variety in the materials for the coming season. Wool (mentioned in a breath on account of the government's need of it) sparingly used, silks, satins, foulards, and materials of silk and cotton combined, are shown in all colors. The new costume for special occasions will doubtless be made of two materials, serge and satin, for instance, for street wear, or satin and Georgette crepe for the house. The foulard dress will take place of the serge one in many instances, though for street wear, serge dresses worn with a fur scarf or cape are especially good, as a coat will not then be necessary. Under the separate coat one may wear either a dress or a separate waist and skirt. The designs illustrated here are particularly smart, the skirt being on the new slim lines, and the novel collar on the waist with its tiny lace ruffle, is a distinctly new feature. FROM THE CANTONMENTS The training officers reached their cantonments to start for duty November first. They have been a busy company of young men ever since but they find time to keep us in touch with their work. Their letters have a wonderful interest, but ar markedly free from any word as to their specific work and we understand that they are under orders to be very careful not to write about camp matters and military operations. Some quotations from these letters and from other letters have more than personal interest. All of the Atlanta University men have had a course of sociology in which the problems of the Negro have had more than passing notice, and yet these students are for the first time getting in touch with the real problem of their own people. They all speak with surprise of the ignorance and illiteracy of their men. They cannot in too many cases even write their own names. Few have had the equivalent of four grammar grades and very few indeed have been through grammar school. Many don't know why they are in camp and think it a "chang-gang." Two quotations show the spirit of the officers. "We have 153 men and among them is one man only who has had any college training. (This is the writer.) One other has had high school, and only from 15 to 20 have had grammar school education." This writer is from the South but his men seem to be from the East, for he further comments: "The situation really surprises me, especially here in the East where schools and colleges are just for the asking. There are so many in my'batallion who can neither read nor write that a night school has been opened." But a hopeful element appears in the letter, duplicated in all the letters which comment upon this same situation elsewhere. "But on the whole they are a fine lot, and just as willing and obedient as can be, and they are taking things just for what they are worth. Since they have been uniformed, and have come to be somewhat soldierly they are making a pretty good showing." The second quotation is by an observer: "I met the captain also. He was a young man of a genuine soldierly bearing about thirty years old. He told me that of the 243 men in his company he found 63 unable to either read or write. The government intends to furnish material to teach them, but he and his lieutenants gave the money out of their pockets; the two lieutenants and two privates who have taught have already begun to teach these men. In a heart to heart talk with the illiterate privates the captain told them that he expected every one of them to write a card to his home himself at Christmas. Twenty can write already. They do this after their hard day's drilling is done. When the government begins its school, he intends to report not a single illiterate." In a different line is the following quotation: "I saw the lieutenants hard at work with their men. I watched the officers of both races do their work. Lieut. —— carried me to his barracks. You would have been proud to see how prompt his men were in saluting him and of the fine relation exesting, between him (a mere youth yet) and those sturdy men." A curious incident was brought to the writer's attention which illustrates the attitude of our student officers to their work. A mother said to lieutenant-son that she should be seconciled if he was fighting for France, but she couldn't bring herself to think of his fighting for the United States which—Her sentence was interrupted by her son who said with emphasis (and his commission was not a week old), "Mother, I am an officer of the United States Army, and as an officer I cannot THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNESATURDAY FEBRUARY 2, 1918 Manicuring Hair Dressing Electrical Facial Massage Hair Straightening Madam Freeman's Beauty Parlor Poro Treatment a Specialty Combings Made to Order 456½ Montgomery St. Savannah, Ga.

Shipping and Night Calls promptly attended to PHONE 1211 permit anyone, not even my mother, to speak disparingly of the country." In similar vein is this: "When the account of the Houston trial began leaking out here, our men crowded around the daily newspaper to read the comments and began to utter evil comments about the country. I felt it my duty (this is from a Y. M. C. A. secretary) to say something to them. I tried to think, and found myself burning too. I prayed for something to tell them. Finally I said that "No one has the right to take the law in his hands and now we have this to be thankful to God for, we have commissioned officers of our own race who can adjust our wrongs in the proper way so that such a shame shall not be ours again." To quote further: "To write or to act in a manner loyal to our noble county and convincing to the extremely clouded mind of the young colored American on this affair is a task that calls for the master mind of our leaders. If they condemn it—treason; if they uphold it in full—distrust from those they lead. My thoughts are, those who take the law in their hands deserve punishment, but the condition under which such things take place ought surely to be considered in the reckoning. I think that the men who irritated those men ought surely to be called into question." Another lieutenant writes of his men from the South thus: "They tell me of conditions out of which they have come, which are largely those of slavery. I was not disposed to believe but others confirmed the facts." This lieutenant doubtless has real DuBois' "Soul' of Black Folk," and the problem of peonage probably came before him in academic fashion. Today he knows the facts and he knows his own problem and his brother officers know it as they could not have known it otherwise. And what are few frozen cars, noses or fingers to these men who have left the pine barrens, or the Black Belt, or the red clay hills, as they find themselves no longer exploited; what geographical ideas must these be absorbing as they find themselves in the North; what sociological and economic ideas are they getting as they find themselves in great groups working together under officers of their own race. And what ethical notions must drift into their minds as they find these officers respected by their fellow officers of the white race, and they themselves free to come and go without being told where to go and where not to go; but free. Perhaps the finest thing that comes to our student officers is their meeting as they do and will more and more with men who have done things, with men of affairs. After an interview with his general, one lieutenant sums up his impression in the simple phrase, "General is a strong man." The following incident illustrates the attitude of the commanding officers toward all their subordinate officers whether white or colored. A general was traveling with a body of his officers for several hours across country. The party was returning from a match game of football with the men of another cantonment. Among the officers were two Negro lieutenants. During the journey, the general went into the dining-car and sent his orderly back to invite all the officers to time with him at his expense. With perhaps a natural modesty' the two colored officers did not go with the group. Their absence was noted by the general who sent the orderly back to command their attendance, and they had the satisfaction, not only of being entertained with him at dinner, but of having a heart to heart talk with him afterwards. The large number of colored commissioned officers are either first or second lieutenants. So far as the writer knows few became captains who had not been in the regular army previous to their assignments to the training camp at Fort Des Moines, where they were the training officers under the white officers at the camp. One of these captains from the regular army was an ex-A. U. student; and one of the new captains not out of the regular army is of our own alumni body. He writes: "I took charge of my company November 4, and I think I may pardonably say that I have a fine set of young men among whom a fine spirit exists. The work is strenuous and taxing but I enjoy it just the same." In the same letter, writing upon the larger issues, he says: "Events now transpiring in this great world debacle confirm my conviction more and more that the principles of Atlanta University, the principles for which she has stood unfinchingly for more than a generation, despite unfriendly criticism, misunderstanding on the part of those who possessed not her faith in humanity, are right and eternal and must prevail. The world must come and I coming to our way of thinking, to insure enduring peace among men." A last quotation may give us a hint of Christmas in camp. "This is Christmas morning about 11 o'clock and I have finished the dining room and recreation room decorations for the men's Christmas dinner. I wish so much you could see it; then you could realize just what the officers are doing to make everything as pleasant as possible for the men. They have everything they want for dinner, consisting of turkey, candy, nuts, fruits, pies of every kind, cranberries, celery, and as much of it as they can eat." And he closes thus: "I thank you for papers and cards which you have sent me, but really I just haven't had the time to do all the work assigned to me much less write to any one, and the work had to come first." Edgar H. Webster, Atlanta Univ. The U. S. Food Administration wishes to place the Irish potato every day in the year on every table in America. Potatoes furnish purishment, bulk mineral salts and a correctly alkalinity in the diet. They are plentiful this year and reasonably cheap. We thought we had gotten by the stage where starvation could ensue within civilization, yet literally thousands or persons have starved to death in the last three years, due to the world food shortage, and other conditions brought about by the war. Do not waste meat. The world's flocks and herds are being fast depleted. HAIR DRESSING SHAMPOOING SCALP MASSAGING Mrs. Noami J.

AMONG THE MASONS If we have high ideals we shall live good lives. "It is not in our stars, but in our ideals that our destinies lie." Freemasonry teaches us that we should labor to subdue our passions. Hatred, malice, lust, and envy must never become our masters. To conquer one's self is the high ideal which our order teaches. The man who has ruled his own soul as accomplished a greater work than one who has conquered a nation. Freemasonry teaches the equality of man, and that the whole world is one great family. It has attracted the artist, the student, the poet, the peasant, the statesman, and the monarch. Its underlying and eternal principles and ideals have united men of every country and opinion and conciliated the truest friendship among them. Masonry is not a reformatory institution. Men should be Masons at heart before they should be allowed to enter our portals. Temperance, prudence, fortitude, and virtue are all Masonic ideals. Kingdoms have arisen, and fallen, monuments of man's greatness have crumpled into dust, ages of wars and revolutions have passed away. but Freemasonry, notwithstanding, has still survived, substantially unchanged in aim and end. The future of our fraternity depends, upon on how loyal its members are to its deals. If Masons are good men and citizens the influence of our order for all that is best in life will continue to extend its ever-widening circles, and with an influence wider than ever before. Freemasonry has always been the exponent of free thought and free speech, and it is a steadfast champion of political and religious liberty.—Trestle Board. * * * As Masons we believe in the one living and true God. This belief, or faith, or trust, satisfies and has become a bound of unity for Israelite, Moslem, and Christian, and those who cannot subscribe to the belief have no right to knock at the door of Masonry, or if entered in, and they have lost that belief, as honest men they should acknowledge the fact and withdraw from a body whose basic principle they no longer subscribe. In these days when charlatatan and fakirs of both sexs and innumerable kinds are erecting altars and temples for the worship of incomprehensible potencies in mind, matter, and air—mainly air—should not those who still remember the impressive lesson presented upon their entrance to Masonry stand fast for their belief and trust in God, the eternal foundation upon whom Masonry rests and from whom Masonry derives its warrant for existence—Selected. Do not be in a hurry to leave the The Genuine Masonic Spirit It is inconsistent that Freemasonry lodge-room when the meeting closes. Take time to greet your brothers and also to wish them success in their various callings of life. A kind word and the brotherly interest doeth more good than you imagine. The inspirations and aspirations of the human soul have received a renewed impetus, so the experience of lie teaches us, from such cordial fellowship.—Queen land Freemason. * * * An ancient sculptor was asked why he bestowed so much labor upon his work: He replied: "Because I am carving for eternity." Masons are indeed calving for eternity, by shaping their characters and incidentally helping to mold others. Fraternal duties cannot be discharged by remaining inactive. The Dead Sea is dead because it is always receiving and never giving out. So whenever a grand truth is grasped during the coming year, pass it on, whenever a kindly impulse springs up in the heart, follow its leadings, and much good will be the result. Masonry and Religion At a recent Past Master's night a well known meher of the craft made an excellent address on the mission of Freemasonry. He eloquently outlined the high ideals of right living and the standards of morality taught by the order, and then destroyed the force of his remarks by comparing Masory with religion and saying that Masonry was a good enough religion for him, and that a man who lived up to the tenets of Freemasonry needed no other religion. Masonry is not a religion and has never set itself up as a religion. It is one of the strongest supporters of the church, and its fundamental principle is a belief in the existence of a divine Creator. It teaches the strictest maritality and upright conduct in all walks of life, in the home, in business, in public affairs. But it does not attempt to supplant the church, or set up a form of worship, or prescribe a religious dogma. The speaker truly said that he man who lives up to the teachings of Masonry is a good man and true, but Masonry does not relieve him of his religious duties.—Masonie Chronicle. The Grand Master of Delaware says of the member, who seldom attends lodge that he "is affiliated in form and no" affiliated in fact. His name remains on the list, but his person does not occur in the lodge room. He pays his dues, but pays no attention to Masonic duty. He wears a Masonic emblem in the hope some brother may note it and thereby he may receive the benefit of the Masonic love and confidence. He is still ready to receive, though he is no longer willing to give." All suffering humanity is invited to try "Wintercol". Get it without delay. Why suffer the tortures of Croup Colds. Catarrh.

Sold at modifies the habitual state of mind in its members and also their conception of things. This change, of course, is not produced all at once; it may even be said that these modifications of ideas do not manifest themselves in all Freemasons. There are brethren in whom Masonry produces no transformation of heart and mind. But the men who have earnestly and perseveringly cultivated Masonic symbolism, studied the history of the association and practiced the Masonic life with faithfulness, perceive at a given moment that their horizon has been widened, that their hearts have grown, and that their ideas have been modified to advantage.—Bulletin International Bureau of Masonic Affairs. * * * Masons are bur Human Masons are but human, and unfortunately have perhaps their full share of shortcomings. As an abstract principle it seems simple enough to remonstrate with an earring brother and aid his reformation. We resent the interference of the solicitous brother and curtly tell him to mind his own business and pluck the beam cut of his own eye. Difficult and unpleasant as it may be to live up to this portion of our obligation, we have no right to shirk it. We have sworn to do this in "the most friendly manner." Sometimes a good jolt may be more "friendly" than patient pleading, and decidedly more effective. Are we doing our duty?—Masonic Chronicle. Fraternity's Mission In turning the pages of our memory tablet, passing events and future problems are reflected in our mirrored thoughts. We find no bound for our love for one another, no doubts in truth, and we find friendship founded upon these principles and the bonds of fraternity welded by the golden link of friendship. In fraternity we find the strong hand in the dark hour of adversity, the open heart in the time of need, and a tower of strength in moments of weakness, giving while yet there is life, bringing joy and gladness to the sorrowing soul. Although the sun is setting back of the hills, the evening light is seen at the window of the home, and the door stands ajar to give entrance to the toiler when the night comes. Home Circle Leader.

DEVEAUX Published by SOL C. JOHNSON Editor and Proprietor Published Every Saturday 1000 WEST BROAD STREET Phone 2171 Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia as second class Mall. Saturday February 2, 1918 WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? "In fact, we must do something. This is our last chance before the meeting of the Southern Methodist General Conference in May. If we do not accomplish something tangible now every thing we have done in the matter of intensifying good fellowship, brotherly love and broadening the Christian vision of all of us will go for naught. And this must not come to pass, and will not come to pass if we but follow the letter and spirit of the Master. "We do not want to go back home and to our general conference and tell our people the Negro question blocked us, and we do not believe our good Southern friends want this. And on this point just one final word. "The question of equality in any but an ecclesiastical sense is not countenanced by the Northern representatives. Our earnest desire is to so strip the legislative power of the Negro as to make him acceptable to the Southern conference and at the same time not rob him wholly of his rights and his self-respect." The above quotation, whether authorized or not, is a fairly good summarization of the attitudes of the two great wings of the Methodist church, and of their two sets of delegates, now met in this city on the proposition of church unity, in so far as it relates to the obstacles furnished by the Negro element. These significant words were spoken by a Northern delegate. It is at least a courageous and frank statement of the views of these two sets of men, for these men are too learned and carry too great a responsibility to resort to subterfuges, circumlocution, in the joint memorial and recommendation, which must result from this assembly and which must be heralded to the world. They have got to be candid; they must declare themselves and the sentiments of their constituents, for the curious trend of latter day circumstances and the establishment and defense of so-called social tradition, unnatural as they may be, force men into open declaration of their views. These men know, then that they cannot temporize with or patch up this mooted and aggravating problem. This is their last chance, for a generation at least, to treat on this matter, and some decisive diction must result, either for or against unity. In arriving at a conclusion, these men representing the highest types of progressive Americanism, the most cultured representatives of world Methodism, and all nationally conspicuins for Christian leadership, will be called upon to interpret and construe the Christian doctrine of universal brotherhood, not alone the spiritual but the earthly application of Christian fellowship. Each has got to face the great and ancient parable of the Good Samaritan; each must conform to the practical demonstrations of the lowly Nazarene while He lived in the flesh; each must remember the common descent of all branches of the human race; each must reconcile with his views a thousand god-sent texts like that of the great St. Paul: "There shall be neither Jew nor Greek; there shall be neither bond nor free; there shall be neither male nor female; for we are all brothers in Christ; each must measure up to the eternal yardstick." What would Jesus do?—under like circumstances. Each must perform his duty, every moment conscious THE SAVANNAN TRIBUNE. of the presence of God; each must satisfy his conscience and his heart that God looking on will approve his course We shudder at the grave responsibility which these men bear! And we almost wondler if any one of them has the full and awful realization of the great duty with which he is charged It is an epochal occasion. It is an event which will "try men's souls." It is the most extraordinary duty which any one of these men has ever been called upon to perform. It will require a self-possession, and a freedom and independence and courage of soul and self, passing extraordinary. There is no way to minimize the seriousness of this business for the week; there is no way of magnifying its exceeding importance. Millions of communicants, of varying opinions and views, look on with apprehension and delimma. Millions of black men, of this church and not of it, look on wondering. A great world-guilding, all-determining principle of human conduct is at stake! A precedent which is to temper the social instinct of the world is to be set! There is no compromise. There can be no evasion. History will need to stop and record this Great Decision, for its moment and for the age-long force it will have. Will the great problem be settled for always, because settled right? Will the generation of future ages rise up to call these men great and good? Will they earn the plaudit "Well done" from God? God forbid that even the suggestion of weakness should possess a single man of these chosen! God forbid that allegiance to man and human institutions should interpose before their duty to God and themselves! Could there be greater sin or moral treason than that one if these men should falter or fail to see the all-engaging, all-absorbing pleasure of God? Could there be greater reward and comfort than the spiritual consciousness that "God is please1?" The grave question can only be settled right. If its solution should fail to meet the requirements of Christianity, the work of this commission will be blasphemous, and the occasion accursed forever. May these men rise, majestically, to their duty, confident and reliant in the omnipotence and omniscience of God, to "quit themselves like men," like God-children. For as to their souls, men are made after the image of God. Can they do less than Godliness? What would Jesus do? BISHOP JOHN W. HAMILTON The spirit of abolition, though wailing and weak, is not entirely dead. It yet lives and manifests itself in such dynamic personalities as Bishop John W. Hamilton whom we have within our gates as our guest this fortnight. The personality of which the great and good Bishop is a venerable type; is as majestic as it is magnanimous; of spirit as it is the odor of lilies; of intellect as keen and as alert as the wisest sages; of heart, broad enough to compass the sunshine and shadows of all the world. Few men have remained on deck outside to brave the storms of ostracism, criticism and sacrifice which this Christian champion of human rights has suffered for half a century in his defense of the war-won rights of Negro people. Few have had the honest, open mind to receive the deep conviction of universal brotherhood. Few have had the sweet and wholesome nature which visualizes the future of realized ideals and actualized dreams. Few, while still on earth, yet live so close to God. Bishop Hamilton looks past the material, the earthly, the sordid, and sees in every man the likeness of God, in the fulfillment of the Great Scriptures. He feels the warmth of personality, the kinship of souls, the divine contents in man. 'All else is superficial, frill and temporal. When most men have advanced to higher realms of Christian interpretation, to those nobler and loftier degrees of fellowship, those free and pure and chaste manifestations of soul-virtues, -when men have risen to those dizzy, Godly heights above the clouds, -then, in truth, there will be "neither Jew nor Greek; bond nor free, male nor female, but all brothers in Christ Jesus'. A CASE OF MISJUDGMENT Very frequently, in compliments the fitness and competency of some Negro, individual who has performed his duty acceptably and well, or the praiseworthy achievement of some Negro business organization, our neighbors are wont to express great surprise, not primarily because we have succeeded in business or developed character in spite of disadvantage, but surprised that we had the capacity for character and the business acumen to succeed. It is because these observers have not known us as they might have with eyes keener to see, with hearts warmer to sympathise and hands more ready to render neighborly accommodation. Due to a predetermined state of mind, a preconceived estimate of our capacity and our conduct, together with an indifference born of conceit and a lack of fellow-feeling, these individuals have lived with us and yet have been blind and ignorant of what we are, their estimate, very often, being made up from the particular representative they happen to know. Like themselves we have very often raised to representative position, individuals who are not representative of us at all. Sometimes these would-be representatives have been made by then for us, and quite often one gets into prominence by his own hand or by accident. Thousands of people, perhaps the majority of people, make up their estimate of the race from a judgment of the conspicuous few. We know of a case wherein a certain city superintendent of schools determined his Negro appointees upon the advises of the family washerwoman. We know of white men, prominent in political and civic affairs, who know little of our folk, but who very often are called upon to designate colored men and women for public service—these find it necessary to pick out conspicuous Negro individuals, to prompt their selection. If they do not trouble themselves to inquire of "a leading Negro," they may take the advises and suggestion of an ignorant, if faithful employee. Neither of these types may be representative; neither may be big enough to pass judgment upon the interest of the whole people. White people have yet to manifest that interest in the affairs of Negro people, that studious interest, which fits them to judge of us, our interests, makes them competent to legislate for us. Almost always, in public address, a white speaker will single out the one or two employees of his whom he has found faithful to his trust, and set these up as his ideal of the group type. We are proud of the faithful, and we are glad to hear where recallability and industry has proven itself, even if these negative and expected virtues are the ones most often referred to. Still, as a people, we cannot be known in this way, by these cursory and chance observations, by these unrelated and isolated cases. The spirit and temper of our people must be learned as that of other groups by a study, an unremitting observation of our institutions, endeavors and ideals. Our higher motives, our aims, as betrayed and disclosed by our acts, must be discovered in the usual way.

Shahs, Secretary and Auditor. SATURDAY FEBRUARY 2. 1918 We are almost persuaded- to say that some of our neighbors will be surprised to find that we have aims and ideals, toward the attainment of which the community group, the race in a large sphere, is steadily advancing by constant striving. It will surprise more of them to learn that we are interested in the aims and ideals of other peoples, and their motives as disclosed by what they do. It will awaken some to know that the motives and movements of other peoples react upon us and upon our own motives and movements, and influence us, quite like these things affect other natural people. We invite closer study and co-operation; we believe we can bear the scrutiny and cynosure, to our own advantage. We shall get a squarer deal because we shall be better known and better understood. We shall be better respected because we shall be found deserving of it. And, may we add, our neighbor will be better off. BEY JOHN WILLIAMS The death of Rev. John Williams. of Brunswick, caused the removal of about the last of that old school of ministers whom we all delighted to honor. Father Williams, was pastor of the First African Baptist church of Brunswick for years. If character he was irrepreachable, and saintly in his manner. He was a type of minister who could easily lead the thoughtful person in the "way of light." The world has been made better and the ministry ennobled by his life. May there not be many others to gather his mantle? BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Butler Presbyterian church, Rev. S. cel Spenday Sunday morning and the Rev.

Terrell Transfer Co. King Bee Moving, Packing Shipping and Storage Auto Service for Straw Rides and Picnics TELEPHONES Office 1962 Residence 3067-W The local league of Savannah of the National Negro Business League is not a Methodist league, not a Baptist league, not a Presbyterian, Congregational or Episcopalian, it is simply abusiness organization, a medium thru an organized effort is made to enhance the value of all business owned and conducted by Negroes. Co-operation Let the public get the idea that the sole object of this business organization is to inculcate plans that will boost and enhance the interest of business generally conducted by Negroes. There is nothing factional about the Negro Business League, other than the whole thing being a business faction rathan a social, fraternal or civic. Therefore, it should be the paramount ideal of the minds of every business man and women to make the league a great center around which all other business interests circle; in fact, we as a race, need to get further from the old time superstitious idea of individuality, that is to say, I will not spend a dollar in the interest of the cause unless I can see direct results coming to me the same day. Our race is too full already of men with sufficient means to promote any kind of business needed, but are not willing to do for a number of reasons all of which makes them look smaller and smaller. For instance, take a fellow in a certain line of business who by reason of circumstances has played a game of luck and thereby prospered and made money for himself; many times such a fellow is not willing to give any credit to his constituency, not willing to even share any credit to anybody save himself, but this is not the saddest feature about such a fellow. There may arise a golden opportunity for some man or set of men to launch a business that would flourish and furn thousands of dollars into the Negro's channels, to say nothing about the numerous number of people of the race that would be given employment, and should they call on this above mentioned victim of circumstances, who by chance locked out and made his money, for assistance in fostering a new business along a new line, nine times out of ten the young man or set of men striving to enter business will not only be refused of the money with which to foster this business, but would get the worse discouragement received from any other source, all of which serves to disrupt, obstruct and beat-back the fertile ideas of the business men of tomorrow. Of course, the writer is speaking generally: it may be well understood that there are some exceptions to all rules. It goes without saying that the outside public has a certain degree of confidence in any man who has made good along the business line; which gives such a man a powerful influence which may be used for good or bad. Now and then we find a real man who has made good in the business world, and who also stands ready and willing at any and all times to help his less fortunate brother to organize and successfully conduct any line of business that may be promoted, even if it becomes necessary to use his money, his influence and his various means to get the new movement successfully started, so as to assure its successful operation; as one commentator puts it, "work well begun is half done." But on the other hand, we have another class of business men who have succeeded in a way, and could be a blessing to the race if they would, while they have been and are now a dead body around the neck of their unfortunate brother. They are the first to criticize rather than to help the first to find fault and show causes why a new business is going to fail even before it begins. Such men or set of men need to be branded and kicked out of the way of success, and dot the cause of humanity roll on. The cause is much greater than an individual, and after all "what do we live for if it is not to make life less difficult to each other?" These are the object, and aim of the Negre Business League. The next regular meeting will be held at its headquarters, 458 West Broad street, February 6. Come early and bring a new member, as the meeting will open at 7:30 p.m. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL Washington, D. C., Jan 30.—Now that the cast of the local production of the photo-play by the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee has been practically completed, the work is to proceed at a lively clip and rehearsals will probably begin about the middle of February. The much-anticipated scenario, written by the brilliant Marc Edmon Jones has been received and competent critics pronounce the story an, admirable one, especially adapted to bringing out the strong points of the Negro's history In war and peace and to display the histronic ability of the participants. It will bear the suggestive title of "The Loyalty of a Race." It shows the enthusiastic enlisting of colored men to fight, "to make the world safe for democracy," their heroism in battle, the loyalty and sacrifices of colored women, and contains many thrilling climaxes. The picture will embrace 120 scenes and constitute more than 3,000 feet of film. Incidents will be worked out to denote the remarkable advancement of the American Negro in business, the arts and sciences and in the industries. In addition to raising a large sum for the relief of the many needy dependents of colored soldiers—relatives of the brave boys who may die at the front—the efforts of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee will reslut in the greatest "carding" of the colored people that this country has ever known. The committee has already ordered 25,000 membership cards for colored men and women who are joining the organization, and the same number of "contributor" buttons of a beautiful design to be sent to each contributor, no matter how small his or her contribution. The organization is to be-maintained permanently and will aim to give relief to members of the race wherever and whenever needed, being patterned after the Rockefeller Foundation, which is one of the most powerful agencies in the world for the succor of suffering humanity. Thus far, every section of the country is represented among the contributors. The names of its promoters, Kelly Miller, J. C. Napler, R. W. Tyler, Bishop I. N. Ross, Judge Robert H. Terrell, Armond W. Scott, Dr. A. M. Curtis and many others of like prominence, are synonyms for honesty, pribity and unselfish zeal for Negro uplift, and are guarantees that the lotty alms of the organization will be carried out to the letter. --- Emmett J. Scott, the energetic and alert special assistant to the Secretary of War, is getting handsome results for the colored soldiers in our national military establishment. Friction has been reduced to a minimum between the races at the cantonments. Colored soldiers are being accorded the same treatment in the matter of camp conditions, hospital service, general equipment. Y. M. C. A. activities and recreation privileges. The labor tasks are equally distributed and the various branches of the service are being opened wider and wider for the utilization of our manifold talents. Our boys are being admitted to the third training camp for officers. Promotions are in the wake of the most efficient and the colored troops are being rapidly prepared to go "over there" some where in France, along with the main body of the army. Injustices that are bound to crop out here and there are being ignored out and remedies are being applied wherever they appear to be needed. Secretary of War Baker is kept advised of what is going on to the good or detriment of colored soldiers and he has yet to disregard any recommendation that has been "put up to him," looking to their welfare. The principles of equality have been fought for, from start to finish, and individuals have been protected from palpable discrimination, based on race or color. These are few of the achievements that have been brought to the front by the persistent, but tactful activities of "our embassador" Emmett J. Scott Many facts that would further demonstrate his usefulness to his people in this crisis cannot now be told at this time, but it is plainly evident that he is working along the right line and that he has the implicit confidence of the colored millions of America as well as the respect and esteem of the whites. Ideal conditions may not be attained, but if courage and tenacity of purpose count for anything, Emmett J. Scott will get for his people all that any human agency can procure. Official denial is made of the statement that has been going the rounds that 500,060 Chinese laborers would be imported to this country to meet the enormous demand for the industrial workers. It is assorted that the shortage in the labor market is to be made up by bringing here, through the Department of Labor, 50,000 of our new Americans from Porto Rico and later on 60,000 are to be brought from the Irgin Islands. These laborers will be used chiefly in agricultural and railroad work. Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson, the brilliant wife of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, has placed a new book on the market entitled "The Heart of a Woman," and it is well worth reading. Mrs. Johnson is entertaining and inspiring in both poetry and prose and her latest contribution to literature is in her best vein. Prof. George W. Cook is such an indispensable factor as secretary of Howard University that many who would readily support him for the presidency are loth to do so for fear his place as secretary and all-round man of affairs cound not be satisfactorily filled. Hon. J. C. Napler, president of the National Negro Business League is in the city this week. He has been attending the New York meeting of the trustees of the Jeanes Fund for Rural Education. Rev. James C. Van Loo, formerly rector of an Episcopal church here, died a few days ago of meningitis at Camp Funston, Kansas. His widow is Mrs. Sylvia Ashton Van Loo. On February 2nd five hundred colored soldiers from Camp Meade will be entertained at a musical and dance to be given at the Dunbar High school. Accompanied by their officers the men will come in special cars bringing their orchestra and band. Mr. William H. Lacey, for several years headwalter of the Senate Restaurant, passed away last week, after a long illness. In early life he traveled extensively in Europe as the valet of Admiral Earl English, of the United States' Navy. --- The new $100.000 hotel and apartment house for colored patrons, sponsored by the Industrial Savings Bank, is to be located at the southeast corner of 13th and T streets, northwest. The ground covers 107 feet on 13th street and 120 feet on T street and the structure is to be four stories in height. It will be called "The White-law." --- WAYCROSS GA. NEWS Mrs. Pollie Zanders left last Friday morning for Philadelphia, Pa., after a short stay here with friends and relatives. The ladies day at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday proved a success. Mrs. M. E.

Breakfast Marmalades—Sugarless Apple-Raisin Marmalades—To one cup ground seeded raisins add one cup chopped apples and one cup water. Cook until thickened. A little orange and lemon juice and graded riad may be added if liked. Cooked dried fruit, as apricots, pears, peaches; or prunes may be used is combination with the ground raisins in any proportion desired, and three fruits combined as apricots, apples and raisins. Catsup added to the marmalades makes a simple fruit relish to serve with cold meat. Date-Prune Jam—Wash one pound prunes, soak over night; cook in same water, and remove stones. Remove stones from one pound dates and cut in small pieces. Cook with prunes until mixture is thick. Add small amount of lemon juice. Prune-Apricot Butter—Wash one pound prunes and one-half pound apricots; soak over night; stew until very soft in same water; rub through colander; return to sauce pan and cook slowly until thin like apple butter, being careful that it does not burn. Do not add sugar. Eat the Cheap Rooster It is good farme economy to eat the rooster. For roasting, of course, the housewive wants a good-fat hen, but for chicken dishes that call for slow cooking let the rooster go into the pot. He is full of meat and flavor, nutricious juices. Slow cooking and the right seasoning will convert the low priced rooster into dishes that are universally liked—there is pot pie and chicken stew and a host of others. If a rooster that is not wanted for dinner is "eating his head off" in the barn yard, can him for future use and save the stock for soup.

SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST "In ancient times there existed a kingdom whose king ruled the world. This kingdom was Babylon. When it had reached the pinnacle of its power, its ruler retired one night, and as he reposed he tried to fatham the future declared Elder Mauns, last Sunday night at the Seventh-Day Adventist church, 36th and Burroughs streets. "Inspiration" he said. "says this king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter, and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass. Thou, O king, sawest, and behold, a great image: This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. Dan2:29-31. "In this great image, the history of the world is foretold from the year 606 B. C., to the end of time. Daniel in his explanation to the king said, Thou, O king, art a king of kings * * * Thou art this head of gold. Verses 37-38. "The character of the Babylonian Empire is fittingly indicated by the nature of the material composing that portion of the image by which it was symbolized, the head of gold. It was the golden kingdom of a golden age. This city was Babylon, its metropolis, according to history towered to a height never equaled by any of its later rivals. 'Situated in the garden of the East; laid out in a perfect square, sixty miles in circumference, fifteen miles on each side, surrounded by a wall three hundred and fifty feet high and eighty-seven thick, with a moat, or ditch, around this of equal cubic capacity with the wall itself; divided into six hundred and twenty-six squares, laid out in luxuriant pleasure grounds and gardens, interspersed with magnificent dwellings, this city, containing in itself many things which were themselves wonders of the world, was itself another and still mightier wonder. Such was Babylon, with Nebuchardnezzar, youthful, vigorous, and accomplished, seated upon its throne." "But Daniel continues, 'After thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee.' Dan. 2:39. 'And another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over the whole earth', verse 39. 'Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.' Dan. 7:231. This was done in the year 528 B. C. The third kingdom or the kindom of Grecia, represented by the belly and thighs of the image, succeeded Medo-Persia; B. C. 331. The first king of Grecia was Alexander the Great. "And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron." Dan 2:40. Thus the fourth kingdom, represented by the legs of iron, cannot be other than the Roman kingdom, which came upon the stage of action in B. C. 168, and was hearing rule over the whole earth at the time of the first advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. 'And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.' Luke 2:1. "In tracing the history of the world as revealed in the image of Nebuchadnezzar from B. B. 606, it can be clearly seen, that three of the great kingdoms have passed, and the fourth had just come into existence one hundred and sixty-eight before the birth of Christ. Hence the kingdom represented by the ten toes of the image appear some time this side of the Messiah. "Are the distressed and perplexed Nations of Europe represented by the ten toes of the image of Nabuchadnezzar? This will be the theme of Elder Manns discourse Sunday night. Don't fail to hear it if you will like to know where we are, as foretold in prophecy. Song service 7:45, preaching 8:15. If you have a sweet tooth, pull it.

Milk.—Use all of the milk, whose milk, therefore, we are less careful not using all skim and sour milk. So make cottage cheese. Use butter. Fats (butter, lard, etc.)—Dairy. Therefore, use it on the table as as possible in cookery. Heice the portion of land and other fats. Use sugar. Save daily the third of an ounce of fat and the fourth of an ounce for soap at home, and, in some cases, soap maker, who manufactures our Sugar—Use lily body and sweet fee.

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 oat, rye, barley, or mixed cereal rolls, muffins, and brands in place of whit bread certainly for one meal and, if possible, for, two. Eat less cake an pastry. As to the white bread, bring hay from a baker, order it a day in advance; then he will not bake beyond his needs. Cut the leaf on the table and only as required. Use only bread for toast 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 not made to use. Use soup more freely. Use beans, they have nearly the same food value as meat. Milk. Use all of the milk, waste no part of it. The childrens must use white milk, therefore are less costly. There is a great waste of food by not using all skim and sour milk. Sour milk can be used in cooking and it make cottage cheese. Use buttermilk and cheese freely. Fats (butter, lard, etc.) — Daily butter has food values vital to children. Therefore, use it on the table as a snack for children. Use as little as possible in cold drinks like the use of fried foods to reduce the consumption of lard and other fats. Use vegetable oils as clive and cottonseed oil. Save daily one third of all ounces of animal fat. Write no soap. It contains fat and the gaseous fats for capsules. You can make scrubbile soap at home, and in some cases, you can sell your sated fats to the soap maker, who supplies our lard, vinegar. Sugar — Use lined and sweet sugar. Use lined sugar in tea and sofe. Use honey, mayonnaise and dark straws for hot cakes and waffles without butter or sugar. Do not stink the use of sugar in potting fries and pears. They may be used in place of butter. Vegetables and fruits — We have a superabundance of vegetables. Double the use of vegetables. Tape 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. Fuel — Coal comes from a distance, and our railway facilities are needed for purposes born fewer fires. If you can get wood, use it. BOLTON ST. F. A. B. CHURCH The public is especially invited to attend services on Sunday at 11 a. m.; communion at 4:30 p. m. and anso at 5 p. m. Sunday school 3 p. m. Chicken "Pilau." The rooster is the foundation for that famous dish of chicken and rice which the Frenchman call, "Pilau." The combination has remained an American favorite through all the changes of spelling. The Florida boys, who loved to concoct this stew when camping in the woods call it "Perlew." Make it by boiling the chicken until the meat comes off the bone. Season well, and add enough rice to thicken the stew. Cook until the rice is soft. The stew should be thick enough to eat with a fork. This stew served with a green salad or stewed fruit makes a complete meal, as the rice takes the place of bread. The Spanish, who are very fond of chicken and rice combination, add pliments just before removing the stew from the fire, and the stew, when served, is a complete one-piece dinner. Although rice has a remarkable food value, it has little individual taste, and so takes on the flavor of the dish with which it is combined. This quality makes rice an excellent foundation for milk and cheeso dishes, or combination with meat, chicken and fish in stews. Rice can be combined with any vegetable, made into a variety of deserts, used to thicken soups or mixed with wheat flour or cornmeal in bread making. Even a spoonful left over can be stirred into bread, mixed in chicken stuffing or dropped in the soup pot. Left-over rice may be be browned in fat for breakfast or made into cakes by adding an egg, a little milk, flour to thicken and a teaspoon of baking powder. These rice cakes are delicious with soup. Three carloads of apples provided by the International Apple Shippers Association are on they way to England and France. The Red Crusos will distribute some of the fruit to the wounded in hospitals. More shipments are expected to follow since shipping space has been provided by the Army Transport Seryice. How much this will mean to our soldiers can be appreciated from the fact that in France today a bright red apple is one of the rarest sights. Shortage of wheat in France is becoming more alarming each week. Pastry is now classed as a luxury and its manufacture or consumption is now suppressed except on Sundays or holidays. Under new food regulations, the Swiss people are allowed only a pound of sugar per month per person. The butter ration is one-fifth of a pound per month. A large part of the world is coming into the position that Belgium is in and has been in; coming to the stage where the primary and important thing is life, enough food to keep alive.

Watch out for the waste in the community. محمد بن محمد بن محمد الحسن بن محمد الحسن بن محمد You can yourself devise other methods of saving to the ends we wish to accomplish. Under various circumstances and with varying conditions you can vary the methods of economizing. The food supply of the world is short and getting shorter. You cannot take eighteen million men out of production and put them into destruction of human products and expect things to go on as before. In Finland, three and one-half million people, caught in between Russia and Sweden, face a failure of the cereal harvest. They are now on ration of 150 grams of war bread day. This is less than a quarter of loaf. A large part of that is made up of brka and beech buds. It looks now as if a large number of them would necessarily starve.

CO HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING The Twilight Reapers Investment Company held its annual meeting on January 8, 1918. The secretary's report showed that the company was in a flourishing condition and that the assets of the company was growing in leaps and bounds. The report showed that the company had collected in the three months of its existence $410.00 and that it had expended $349.62 leaving a balance of $60.64 in the treasury. The following members were elected on the Board of Directors for the insuing year: W. E. Stephens, J. B. Moultrie, J. W. Daniels, H. G. Huer, F. B. Pettie, Pettie, Walter Bing, T. A. Bright, B. G. Young, Chas. Allen, B. Thomas, S. A. Cook, A. L. Jackson, H. G. Young, C. N. Walker, E. T. E. Smalls, Luke Ranks. The property holdings of this young corporation amounts to $6,000 and its affairs have been so ably conducted by its officers that they were re-elected for another year. The officers are W. E. Stephens, president; J. B. Moultrie, 1st vice president; T. A. Bright, 2nd vice president; H. C. Huger, secretary-treasurer; C. N. Walker, assistant secretary-treasurer; and F. B. Petrie, attorney. One of the best business accomplishments of this young company was the consolidation of the Reserve Loan and Investment Company with it, there by making the company stronger and broading out its field of operation. The company has but a few more shares left for sale and indications are such that they will probably be taken shortly.
