In spite of the strong counter-attraction, a large audience was out in the morning. Three candidates were baptized, and the pastor preached a sermon that stirred up great enthusiasm. Communion service called out another splendid attendance in the afternoon, and the Golden Wedge Club took charge of the evening service with the sermon by Rev. S. J. Lanier. Next Sunday Dr. Martyn, the pastor will preach both morning and evening. A warm invitation is extended to all, especially strangers and visitors in the city. ST. PAUL CHURCH NOTES Rev. J. P. Howard, evangelist, of Kansas City, Mo., will long be remembered in St. Louis as a soul winner through his manner of preaching at a recent revival at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. One hundred and fifty (150) or more souls were brought to Christ. Dr. Howard has the distinction of a revivalist renowned; and is noted far and near for his soul-stirring sermons, and the many sweet songs which characterize his preaching everywhere. Too much cannot be said of Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, who was so thoughtful in securing the services of Dr. Howard. Through the effort of Doctor Brooks a reception was tendered Dr. Howard in the lecture-room of St. Paul a few evenings ago, in which all the ministers of various denominations participated. Dr. Howard, is now conducting a revival at St. James Church. Watch for results. A Grand Charity Ball will be given by the Board of Managers of the St. Louis Colored Orphan Home, Thursday Eve, April 8, at the Pythian Hall, 3137 Pine St. This promises to be one of the grandest after-lenten affairs.

WILLIAM WALLACE KITCHEN Director of the Practical Work, Comm Meadow Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT--For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. But if any man buildeth stones, wood, hay, stubble; each man's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work shall abide, which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved so as through fire. I. Cor. still I. (R. V.). Two workmen are building separate structures. One is a palace of costly stones, and for embellish men m, precious gold and silver; the other a hovel, into which he is putting the driest material, which hay, stubble. Both workmen are building side by side upon the same foundation. PETER HARRIS At length the two structures are completed and the builders rest from their labor. Suddenly one day a fire breaks out. It sweeps up one street and down another, licking up the buildings that lie in its path, and finally envelops the palace and the hovel. When the fire ceases, not a vestige of the hovel remains. The flames have wiped out the structure built of wood, hay and stubble; but the palace stands. The marble in it gleams the brighter and the gold and silver shine the more resplendently. The fire has proved each man's work of what sort it is. The workman whose structure stood the test receives his reward; while the other, whose hovel was swept away, suffers loss, he himself being saved, yet so as by fire. Such is the picture presented by the text. What are some of its lessons? The Only Foundation. There is only one foundation upon which a man can build a superstructure of works. That is a simple, elemental truth, but one which needs a deal of emphasis in these days, for many have not yet discovered that the divine order in grace is the same order which holds in the putting up of a building—the foundation first, then the superstructure. Salvation first, then works; and not works first and then salvation. "For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory" (Eph. 2:8, 9. R.V.). Some years ago at Catawissa, Pa., after the destruction of a bridge, the contractor upon removing the first pier, prior to the building of a new one, discovered that underneath there was no foundation. The pier simply rested upon the bed of the river, and when a heavy flood came the entire structure was washed away. Yet, how many there are who are building a superstructure of works without the real foundation, Jesus Christ! We need to take heed how we build there. For it is possible to build on the only foundation a palace or a hovel. This is a truth which concerns the saved and not the unsaved. It is not a matter of salvation, but of service. Between salvation and service there is a wide difference. Salvation is a work of God for us and in us and is all of grace. Service is work which those who are saved render unto God, and for which they shall receive a reward, or shall suffer loss. The Testing Day. A testing day is coming when the character of our work, as Christians, shall be made manifest. "The day shall declare it." Not a day of judgment for our sins, which were judged in Jesus Christ on the cross; but a day when our work shall be made manifest. The day when the Lord comes, "who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts" (I Cor. 4:5). Then the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is. Not literal fire, but the holy, consuming energy of the Lord himself, for "Our God is a consuming fire." If we have built only a hovel, we shall suffer loss, irretrievable loss, but we shall be saved, yet so as by fire. Must I go, and empty-handed? Must I meet my Savior so? Indeed not, for we may build a palace instead of a hovel, and be not only saved but rewarded for our work. That each man may in that day have his-praise from God (I Cor. 4:5); let us, as Christians, in our work heed three simple rules: First, a right purpose: the glory of God (I Cor. 14:3). Second, a right plan: the word of God (I. Tim. 3:16-12). (By E. O. BELLER, Acting Director of Museum Collections, Kobe City, Japan. stitute, Chicago) LESSON FOR APRIL 11 DAVID ANOINTED KING LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 15:4-11 GOLDEN TEXT—Man looketh on the outward appearance, but Jebweth looketh on the heart—I Samuel 15:7 R. V. After the events recorded in last Sunday's lesson Samuel retired to Ramah never again to see Saul's face. Samuel "mourned" (15:25) h. e. bewailed and lamented the deposed king. It was noble for Samuel thus to be grieved over Saul's shi; still God had work for him to do. There is a sorrow that "worketh repentance" which is pleasing in the sight of God, but that idle sorrow which spends itself in unprofitable mourning is detrimental to man and a hindrance to the kingdom of God (ch. 8:7; 15:1). Men may fail but the kingdom goes forward. We do not interpret verse 3 as suggesting any subterfuge on God's part but rather that God refused to pay any attention to Samuel's fear God answers fear by giving us duties to perform and in their performance we are delivered from our fears. 1. David Chosen to Be King, vv. 4-10. Saul, the clamorous choice of the people, was not succeeded by David—"the man after God's own heart"—for several years after this lesson. God's will in this matter was shown to Samuel progressively: (a) in chapter 13:14 Samuel is informed that God hath sought "a man after his own heart"; (b) in 16:1 he is told to go and find the king whom God had provided; (c) in verse 12 Samuel is at last definitely told whom God has selected. This selection is in accordance with the prophecy made centuries before regarding the kingly scepter (Gen. 49:10). Of course it was high treason, this set Samuel was about to perform, and Saul yet had many friends and supporters (v. 2). God seems to have permitted Samuel to use one avowed purpose to conceal the real one, but "such a course is one to use but sparingly" (Maclearen). God can and does protect those whom he sends (Pa. 34:7) and "man is immortal till his work is done." Just what or how did not concern Samuel for he had God's promise (v. 3). A step at a time was sufficient and in taking each step Samuel was to tell the exact truth. Thus God guides and tests his servants. Samuel was a judge as well as a prophet (ch. 7:16) and the people of Bethlehem were agitated at his arrival. It may be, too, that these elders were fearful of incurring the displeasure of Saul. There was no occasion for fear, as Samuel's purpose was to sacrifice and his mission one of peace even as the angelic messengers who quieted the shephards with their message of "peace" when "great David's greater son" was unheralded into the world. Jesse was a grandson of Ruth the Moabitess and also a descendant of Rahab the harlot. On his father's side he belonged to the strong tribe of Judah. He was evidently a man of some wealth, certainly in his children. After the sacrifice and before the feast Samuel is made acquainted with the sons of Jesse. The first, Eilah, was tall and good to look upon and at once Samuel fired upon him as the certain choice for Jehovah. II. David Anointed King, v. 11, 13. Seven sons are set aside and yet Samuel did not hear the voice of God's approval. In seeming dismay he asks, "Are here all the children?" Jesse seems to have made a careless and reluctant reply that the youngest was away from home tending sheep. Thoseupon Samuel asserts that "we will not sit down (to the sacrificial fear) till he be brought hither." It is from such lowly positions that God is constantly promoting men to positions of responsibility and prominence. Witness Carey, Livingston, Moody and a hundred others past and present-David at this time was about fifteen years old (Beecher). His name means "darling," significant of the affection of his mother, whose name is unknown, but to whom David twice makes reference (Ps. 36:16; 116:16). David was short, compared with his brothers, but had bright eyes (v. 12 marg.) and a fair face—"a comedy person" (v. 18). David was agile and strong and though seemingly scaled at by his brothers and neglected by his father it did not pervert his good nature nor turn him from the performance of his duties. Samuel did not greet David as he had greeted Saul, he may have been disappointed. This gives emphasis to the words in verse 13. "Arise anoint him: for this is he." David is anointed, set apart for the kingship, but is not equipped nor does he enter upon his offices till later. In this he is a type, of Jesus who shall yet reign on David's throne. Verse 13 and 14 tell of the developing contrast in the lives of Seal and David. David the young king, potential only at this time, is a great inspiration to the young of all ages in that. (1) He did his lowly work thoroughly; (2) While doing it he sought to cultivate and improve himself (v.13); and (3) He gave himself wholly to God; hence the record "and the Lord is with him" (v.13). 1 Prompt Service Phone, NO ONE CAN MOV PETER MOVING Packing, Shipping and St LEVY GREEN NEGROES SECOND HAND CLOTHES Full Dress Suits Give us a Trial 711 North Sixth St OULVEY'S The Co.

HATCHING SEASON NOW OPEN VIII The Senter's Hatchery opens the season for the selling of day old chicks. So great was the demand last season for day-old chicks that we were compelled to increase our hatching capacity to 3,000 eggs every twenty-one days. We are now in a position to place on the market 1,000 baby chicks each week. Chicks bought from the Senter's Hatchery can be expected to live, for the eggs come from hens that are range raised, full of life and vigor. An egg incubated from such stock, and with the proper methods of hatching, results in a chick that, with ordinary care and a little expense, is a fowl worth having. Many people who live in large cities seem to be under the impression that they have no room or space to raise even a few chicks, but they are very badly mistaken. To raise any large amount of chicks it would naturally become a farm business and would require more ground than is afforded by a small city back yard. But to raise a very few chicks at a time, especially for table use, and as a means of cutting down meat bills, thus taking a slap at hard times, very little ground is required. A large drygoods box, or a piano box, a cellar or coal shed, will answer the purpose well. Artificial means of exercise may be installed, which will take the place of free range. The feed bill is not to be considered because what you would throw away as garbage would feed a few chicks very nicely, thus you become not only a city poultryman, but an economist as well. There is no poultry food so good as table scraps for growing chicks. The Senter's Hatchery ventures to say, that when people of the great cities quit packing their garbage pails and realize that the table scraps that go into the pail could just as well be fed to a few baby chicks, then, and not until then, will that horrible nightmare of hard times be vanished. Our custom and commercial hatching department can not be excelled, as our incubator cellar is about perfect in the control of temperature, moisture and ventilation. Our incubators are of the very latest pattern, automatic in regulation and free from the use of coal oil fumes. Those having eggs to hatch run no risk in bringing them to us, for the manager has had expert knowledge of the art of incubation for many years, hence the chicks from one of these incubators, located in this almost perfect cellar, at exclusion, the chick is as fluffy and ripe and leaves the shell as free as a well ripened strawberry in June. Our incubators are equipped with the latest style ventilators, the drop bottom, so much spoken of by the United States Department of Agriculture. It has been proven that a chick hatched in a machine of this kind will have a better start for life. So many people are prejudiced to incubator chicks. Many believe they can not be raised without a mother, that they must be taught to eat, but this is all a mistake; they are in every way the equal of those hatched with hens. Why let a hen come off with only one chick and then try to raise this one only, when you can buy a dozen or so chicks from the Senter's Hatchery? Slip them under her at night. She will not know the difference if you do not tell her. To Every Housekeeper who has ten square feet of ground, he or she can buy one dozen little baby chicks at $1.50 per dozen; feed table scraps from two to three months. Then you have a fry or roaster, weighing from two and one-half to three pounds. Repeat this process every three months during the year and after eating these home-raised and fed chickens, you will find there is a great difference in the taste of the meat and about fifty per cent saved on your meat bill. AN EASTER NOVELTY Do you want an Easter Novelty for your little boy or girl? If so, call at Senter's Hatchery, 2622 Bernard St., and get an Easter basket containing moss, one little baby chick and two Easter eggs for only 20 cents. This offer is good at any time during the week before Easter. Make the little ones happy on Easter morn. Address, 2622 Bernard; phone, Bonomt 2210. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The bestowal of the first Spingarn medal—an admirably planned prize, to be awarded annually to the colored man or woman who has rendered the greatest service to the colored race—upon Prof. Ernest E. Just, a young scientist and professor in the Howard university medical school, attracted widespread attention. The committee, of which Mr. Taft is a member, did not find the choice an easy one, there being a number of possibilities from whom to select. That the recipient should be a scientist rather than an inventor, or a leader in farming or banking, will doubtless surprise many people, as it will put to their trumps those who continue to maintain that the Negro is incapable of the higher education. Professor Just, be it noted, is but thirty-one years of age; yet he has already attracted the attention of scientists of repute, no less a one than Prof. Jacques Loeb endorsing his original work in physiology, biology and zoology in these terms: "His knowledge of biology and his critical ability are of an unusually high and lotty order. In the work that he devotes to Howard university he is actuated by very high motives, since the remuneration he receives is only a fraction of his nominal salary. He could easily increase his income by giving up his position. Professor Just has sacrificed a good deal for the advancement of medical schools for colored people, and he will do a good deal more if he is given a chance, as I hope he may be." Plainly, this is just the type of man the Spingarn medal ought to distinguish—a colored man who is proving the capability of the race, and is also ready to make sacrifices for the benefit of his people. It has been a distinct weakness of the race in its struggle upward from slavery that it has often lacked solidarity and a readiness to contribute to the welfare of the whole. That this is now a rapidly passing condition there are plenty of instances besides this one of Professor Just to prove. Indeed, the support given to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in whose hands Professor Spingarn has placed the award of the medal, is a remarkable case in point. That organisation has taken radical and unpopular ground; timeservers in both races have shunned it as if it were something unworthy, instead of a manly and straightforward effort to preserve to the colored people their civil and political rights as guaranteed by the constitution. Yet the association has flourished, spread over the country, and made a reputation for itself as a guardian of the colored people's liberties, largely as a result of the efforts and financial sacrifices of the Negroes themselves. Commercially, elephants in India come under two classes—the one of pageantry, the other of utility. Every native prince of nobleman of distinction in India keeps elephants to swell his retinue, while, on the other hand, government officials and private persons, such as timber contractors, etc., require them for work. The quaint city of Berne has been the capital of the Swiss republic since 1848. It is one of the most interesting towns of Zahringen, and by 1288 it was strong enough to ward off two sieges by Rudolph of Hapsburg, the ancestor of the present emperor of Austria. With Julius Rosenwald of Chicago at its head, a party of business men, philanthropists and social workers from that city visited the various schools of the Tuskagee, Ai., institute operated by Booker T. Washington and took part in a meeting of the board of trustees. Several rural schools which Mr. Rosenwald had aided in Montgomery were visited. Near Basel-Augst, in Switzerland; is the site of the old Roman colony of Augusta Rauracorum, with remains of a theater, and at the nearby town of Rheinfelden are wall and towers partly preserved, for this was one of the outposts of the Holy Roman empire. It has only belonged to Switzerland since 1802, and is picturesque, like the majority of the towns on the Rhine. More than four hundred patients have been issued by the United States for devices intended to harness the power of sea waves. It has been computed that at the time of the arrival of Columbus there were 25,000,000 Indians in North and South America. Schemes for the construction of a 3,000-mile railway through Central Africa, at a cost roughly estimated at $50,000,000, have been revived by the termination of the war between Italy and Turkey. The post office in England intends to try the motorcycle for rural service. Orders have been placed for experimental machines. The life of the domestic horse is about twenty-eight years, while that of the wild one is thirty-eight years. Mansassas is the only school of its kind in the entire five surrounding counties, the only place where any sort of an industrial training is given. The children come principally from this section of Virginia, where they have often gone no further than the fourth grade in the rural schools. In nearly all cases this means the scariest possible training—the bare bennings of the three R's. However, there are things more fundamental than even these which must be taught many of these pupils, who come from homes where the use of water for cleaning purposes has never been known, and where the simple everyday care of their bodies is another new lesson to learn. It is remarkable how quickly they come to realize the value of this lesson, and the pride with which daily soap-scrubbed faces shine once they know the added feeling of self-respect gained by the simple medium of soap and water. The pupil must be fourteen to enter the school—and may be forty. There are usually about an equal number of boys and girls in attendance. Most of these children are too poor to pay for their tuition and board, for which a very nominal salary is asked, but this difficulty is arranged for by a system of crediting the child for daily jobs done in connection with the trade he is pursuing, or any necessary work to be done about the building. In the kitchen, laundry, or about the grounds. The trades offered the boys are carpentry, cobbling, wheelwrighting, blacksmithing, upholstering, and most important of all for boys of that seoition, farming. The girls have cooking, sewing, laundering, dairying, and light farming. --- As early as 1798 a night school for Negroes was started in Philadelphia. In 1844 an industrial school was proposed, and in 1856 the first Negro university in the new world was started, named Wilberforce university, and now one of the largest Negro institutions of higher learning in the country. There are operated under the auspices of this church the following institutions, each one named for one of its deceased bishops: Allen university, Columbia, S. C.; Morta Brown university, Atlanta, Ga.; Payne college, Cumbert, Ga.; Edward Waters college, Jacksonville, Fla.; Payne uni- versity, Salem, Ala.; Lambell college, Jackson, Miss.; Lampton college, Waco, Tex.; Wayman institute, Harrodsburg, Ky.; Payne Theological seminary, Wilberforce, O. There are also the Shaffer High school in Liberia, West Africa; Turner seminary, Shelbyville, Tenn., and Kittrell college in North Carolina, and institutions in Capetown, South Africa, and Georgetown, South America. The members of this church have raised more than $3,000,000 to support their schools, and their graduates are scattered all over the world—where Negroes are. Some are teaching the Filipinos; some are organizing and training the militia of Liberia, the Negro republic of West Africa, and they are in every state in the Union in almost every honorable occupation of labor. A hundred African students have been trained in these schools for the purpose of going back to their homes to help raise their people. The watchword of the church is "self-respect and self-help." Corks steeped in vaseline make excellent substitutes for glass stoppers. Buffalo is to purify its drinking water with chlorine gas, and hopes that the unpleasant taste caused by the more common method of using hypochloride will not appear. The process will kill germs, but not clarify the water. If Buffalo wants its water to sparkle it will have to install a filtration system as in Cleveland, where the plant cost $2,000,000. More than 99 per cent of the timber in the Philippines is owned by the government and is worked through concessions and licenses, as no land more valuable for timber than for agriculture can be bought. The valuable trees of the same species are often scattered through the forests instead of being grouped, and this makes lumbering more expensive. A camera operated by electricity has been invented for lowering into wells to photograph the conditions surrounding broken tools. A gum has been discovered in large quantities in the Malay Peninsula that yields from 10 to 20 per cent pure rubber. To drain Lake Mariotis, in the Nile delta ten pumps have been installed each with a capacity of 100,000,000 gallons daily, and it is believed that eight more will be required. The Pacific Steam Navigation company has decided to extend its straits mail service from Callao to Panama, in view of the opening of the Panama canal. In the Alps there is a letter box 10,000 feet above the sea level, from which daily collections are made. The St. Louis Argus PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE RGUS PUBLISHING COMP. HELL.....M T.

It is a ward or precinct meeting to the party calling it. What is it first steps are taken toward the nomination for political office What is a Primary? It is a ward or precinct meeting of citizens belonging to the party calling it. What is its purpose? Here the first steps are taken toward the nomination of various candidates for political office. By whom is the Primary controlled? By the local party managing committee, which fixes the date and place. How is it composed? Nominally, all citizens of the party in the primary district are its constituents; but in fact, it is made up only of those who attend it. Since it is for the interests of the party managers to keep the numbers small and manageable, the time and place of meeting are seldom published, only those being notified who are subservient. What are the functions of the primary? Here candidates are elected to the municipal governing body, if it be held in a city; and delegates are elected to city or state conventions called to nominate candidates for higher offices. In short, the primary is just what its name denotes—the starting point of the entire political machinery of republican government. This explains the eagerness of professional politicians to dominate it. And the fact of this domination accounts for most of the political evils which flourish among us. Civic reform and the safeguarding of our interests must begin at the primary. There is no decent reason why all citizens should not garrison this fortress of liberty. Of course, it will take time. But free institutions presuppose that citizens will take time. And, of course, it calls for vigilance. But it is a saying as old as Demosthenes that vigilance is the price of liberty—eternal vigilance. Citizens who refuse to exercise vigilance should accept their slavery without a murmur. Citizens who will not take time should emigrate to Borioboola-Sha, where they will be relieved of political responsibility. Yet the figures show that nine voters out of every ten never go to a primary. And that is why the figures also show that four voters out of every twelve never go to the ballot box. These absentees represent the best class of our citizens—men of intelligence and good standing. They profess to be disgusted with political conditions, yet do not bestir themselves to remedy the evils of which they complain. Out of this neglect on the part of the decent element of the community is evolved the "boss." Some smooth-tongue, elastic-conscience, plug-ugly, who "toils not, neither does he spin," is recognized as the boss. Controlling the primary, it is an easy matter for him to control the voters—or at least enough of them to hold his supremacy. For instance, he has the backing of the "regular" vote, and of the purchasable vote, and of the vote of the vices, and also of those in offices which they have filled, and of those who want to get in; a compact political army, disciplined, organized, skillfully led, and used to victory. All this shows the need on the part of every citizen of going into politics and of staying there. And to get into politics he must begin at the primary. THE COLORED AMERICANS' PROTECTIVE LEAGUE We wish to call attention to a movement recently set on foot, and which, without doubt, will sweep this country inside of a twelvemonth. It is known as the Colored Americans' Protective League. The organization is national in scope, officered by men who are noted for doing things, and it has been endorsed widely by our press. So far, the League has been moving quietly and slowly, perfecting its machinery and preparing to do effective work when it gets at it. The main object of this protective organization is "To carry on an incessant fight for justice for the Negro." It purposes to carry the fight right up to the enemy, and into his camp, if necessary. It will legally fight Jim-Crowism, race segregation, disfranchisement, and all other discriminatory laws affecting the race. It will enlist the services of the great detective agencies to run down and bring to justice mob murderers, white cappers, night riders and others of that stamp. A second great purpose is to bring about a closer fellowship in small towns and rural districts, and make them to feel the strong, protecting arm of the League, even though they are isolated from the great centers. And for them, and for all its members throughout the nation, the League will demand those rights of citizenship as guaranteed under the Constitution. Remember the name—The Colored Americans' Protective League. In the near future you will be asked to join. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS DON'T BE DECIDED A. H.

Gentner, owner of the Retina, better known as the "20th Street Odeon," is the Republican candidate for Alderman in the 25th ward. That Mr. Gentner is in line for the Negro vote goes without saying; yet to print an extract of the letter he has sent out to voters will be appropriate at this time.

I urged everybody to swing into line to fight the common enemy, and to do nothing to disrupt, or embarrass the Grand Old Party. "I want you to take these facts into consideration.

"I have lived in the vicinity of the old and new Union Stations for twenty-five years, but two years ago I moved out in the 25th ward, the ward I hope to represent as Alderman, and I feel confident that if I get anything like the support the voters of the 6th ward gave me four years ago, the result of the coming primaries will show me to be the nominee. "Since it is impossible to meet you all personally, I take this means of telling you that any effort put forth in my behalf will be appreciated. I am not bound or obligated to any special interests, will recognize no masters but the will of the people and the taxpayers, and will do my best as a man and official to treat everyone with fairness and justice." Voters should be sure to not scratch the name of John H. Gentner, 25th Ward at the primary next Friday. BookerWashington TAILORING CO. Expert Designers and Makers o.

GATION CHARGE Herman C. Kralemann, candidate for Board of Alderman from the 22nd Ward, was asked by the Argus this week if he was in favor of segregation and if it was true that he had opposed the Summer High School building. In reply he stated that he had never been, and would not be, in favor of segregation. Although he was enrolled as a member of the organization that opposed the High School, he had never attended their meetings, was not only not in accord with their actions, but had worked ardently in the interest of the school. He has no opposition in that ward, and will be nominated, but he wants the colored voters to know that they can rely upon his friendship all the time. THE TRUTH ABOUT There are some men who have been tried, and of whom every Negro voter knows just what to expect. Julius Haller, candidate for Alderman in the 24th ward is one of the few men on the Republican ticket who is in this class. He is a real estate man, opposed to segregation, or any class legislation. He was one of the two men in a Republican Council, a few years ago, who supported Donavant, a Negro, for sergeant-at-arms to the last, against the Democrat that won. Naturally he supported Ralph Turner for the same position. He can be depended upon and every voter should see that his name is left unscratched on the ballot next Friday. Note carefully the 24th ward. SOCIETY The Married Ladies' Embroidery Club met at Mrs. Bertha Epperson, 2911 Belf Ave. A spicy program was rendered.

The seasonings may be any combination of herbs or vegetables desired. Salt and pepper should be added when meat is half done. Salt meats take different treatment First soak over night in plenty of cold water. Then scrape and clean the next day, and put them on to cook in a pot of cold water. Cook tongue very gently until the small bones in the root can be easily pulled out. This is a matter of four hours. Leave in water until cold. Then lift out, trim, skin and serve. It may be put away, cold in the box, wrapped in a coarse clean cloth, or may be returned to some of the water in which it was boiled. This will help it retain its succulence. Ham, if very dry, may be soaked 48 hours, changing water once or twice. Put to cook in plenty of cold water. It should simmer five to eight hours. It should be taken when the small bone in the hock can be pulled out easily. When nearly cold draw off the skin; do not cut. Cover the top with a mixture of egg, bread crumbs, pepper, salt, sugar and a little made mustard, and set in a slow oven to brown. Baste frequently with two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and a little boiling water in the pan. Bake from one to two hours. Save ham fat from the pan. It is fine for frying potatoes, hominy or rice. Save the ham skin and use it to cover the ham under a coarse cloth. KEEPS DRAIN PIPES CLEAN Arrangement That May Be of Home Construction Has Been Recommended. A device for the kitchen sink that has proved successful in keeping the drain pipes clean is made of a wooden frame and ordinary window screen. Make a wooden frame, about two inches high, just wide enough to fit nicely into the sink, and not quite as long as the inside of the sink. On one end of this nail a board, covering about half the length of the frame; on the other end, on the opposite side, nail a piece of wire window screen. This device may be kept in the sink always, the dishpan set on the wooden part, and anything poured on the other part will be strained before reaching the pipes. This may be easily cleaned, and the wire screening renewed at small expense, when worn through. It is better than the ordinary sink strainer, as it covers the bottom of the sink, and catches everything thrown into it—Holland's Magazine. German Potato Salad. Boll in their jackets two dozen small potatoes until tender. Peel, and white hot, cut in thin slices and mix carefully with two white onions, a cucumber, a green pepper and half a dozen radishes, all allied thin. Season with salt and pepper and while hot, mix with the following dressing: One-quarter pound bacon cut into small pieces, one-quarter cupful each of water, vinegar, sugar and one-half teaspoonful of mustard, one-quarter teaspoonful of salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Fry the bacon slowly until brown; then pour over both the bacon and the fat that has been fried out, the vinegar to which has been added the water. Mix the sugar, mustard, salt and pepper and add this mixture to the other. Cook until the sugar is dissolved and while hot pour it over the potatoes. Heap on a platter and around the sides of the dish; garnish the top and sides of the mound of salad with radishes cut like Meatless Mince Pie Half a cup of molasses, two-thirds cupful of water, two-thirds of a cupful of vinegar, one cupful of sugar, one cupful of breadcrumbs, one cupful of chopped raisins, one cupful of minced apples, one tablespoonful of cloves, one tablespoonful of cinnamon, one nutmeg grated, and add a piece of butter the size of a hen's egg. Mix all the ingredients and heat the mixture thoroughly without really allowing it to cook, stirring it often. While hot, fill into the pie pans, baking it with two crusts. One pint of liver, chopped coarse and measured after chopping. In frying pan melt one tablespoonful of butter, add one teaspoonful of flour and blend well. Now add one cupful of water gradually, while stirring, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the liver and simmer for 20 minutes. Just before serving add one teaspoonful of lemon juice. Making Dustless Dusters. Wring out pieces of cheesecloth in hot water and saturate with crude oil. Another way of making a dustless duster is to saturate the cheesecloth with kerosene oil and hang it in the sunlight to dry. To Improve Chocolate's Flavor. A drop of cinnamon extract and three or four drops of vanilla added to a pot of chocolate will greatly improve its flavor.

ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T. M. BOOKER WASHINGTON MISS JOSEPHINE TOBIAS AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON Wonderful Little Singer Fairly Electrifies the Audiences With Her Melodious Renditions Miss Tobias is the one bright star on the Booker Washington bill this week. This little lady, with a repertoire of three rather heavy and difficult pieces is holding her audiences spellbound except when it clamors for an encore. She opens with "Goodbye, Sweet Heart, Goodbye," which immediately takes root in the hearts of her hearers. This she follows with "The Bleeding Moon," and fairly electrifies the patrons with its tonal sweetness. "My Cavalier" is the closing piece, and is so excellently rendered that the house rings with applause that is only stilled by an encore. KELLY and DAVIS are on this week instead of Glenn and Brogsdale. They are making their usual hit with a new line of jokes, plenty of singing and dancing. String Beans and Sweetie May are repeating the act that Beans and Miss Goodloe put on here some time ago, which radiates around the idea "So you never heard the Blues?" This is presented in the characteristic Bean's style of comedy and scores accordingly. Taken all together the entire show is pleasing the big night crowds. WHO IS THE CLUTCHING The supercriminal Elaine Dodge and Craig Kennedy, world's famous detective must be captured to avenge Elaine's father's murder. The perils they undertake to bring this criminal to justice are being shown each Monday at the Movie Theater, 2351 Market St. REPUBLI Could Wou THE BLANKS SISTERS The classiest of all female teams in the latest song hits of the season.

SENSATIONAL PICTURE- COMING TO THE COMET THEATER The "Black Box" mystery, said to be a thrilling chamber of horrors with more punches than the average pugilist could deliver in a fifty-round bour, will be seen at the Comet Theater, every Thursday night, beginning March 11. It was written by E. Phillips Oppenheim, and although it is claimed to be the most complicated, thrilling and romantic story of crime ever attempted, it is clean and fit for any child to see BLICANS, ON i a leopard change his spots if he did a 20th Ward Democrat change THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS 10 4246 West Belle Pl., St. Louis, Mo. W. L. MAJORS, PRES. TESTIMONIALS: I have a friend by the name of Mrs. Sarah Miller, and have been personally friendly to her for over three years, and during the time she wore a wig. I have been treating her hair for about two months, and now she has taken the wig off, and uses her own hair except a small piece in the back. This treatment is wonderful, I must say. Another lady by the name of Mrs. Emma Tuks, when I first saw the lady I was afraid to touch her hair, I thought I would burn the scalp, her hair was so short, and if you had seen her before I began to treat her scalp you would not believe it was the same head; it was the worst one I have met with. I will mention some more next time. Your agent, Mrs. Muriel Hall, Tampa, Fla. Dear Madam: Yes, Nineteen Fourteen, in the month of August, I was visiting my friend, Mrs. Emma B. Wille; she and I were looking over the Voice of the People, a newspaper, and found Major's advertised hair grower, and we both decided to work for the Oxford College. I have tried everything for my hair and nothing did it any good, until I began using Major's Hair Oila, and I feel proud of my hair today, and feel more than able to speak for it anywhere and any time. I can truly say it is the real thing and does the work. And I will say to all ladies, let us work hard, and use W. L. Major's face creams, hair oils and powder, and look good. Sir: Your Oxford Complexion Cream is among the best I have ever used, it shall always be on my dressing table, and you may be sure that your number of customers will be made more numerous by my advocating the use of it among my many friends and acquaintances.
