ANOTHER PROMOTION The Clover Leaf Casualty Co., of Jacksonville, Ill., after promoting two of their men recently, sent their vice-president, Mr. W. C. Braddish, to St. Louis last week and made Miss Frankie Reed, the clerk, cashier of the Company in St. Louis, succeeding a white man who has been transferred to another section. No company in St. Louis has thus far recognized the ability of Colored people as the Clover Leaf Casualty Co. When one will stop to think of the fairness of the "Clover Leaf" there is no need to wonder at the volume of business they are doing among our people. E. H. Hawkins, the newly appointed superintendent, is urging all policy holders to pay their premiums on the first of each month, thereby insuring prompt adjustment of all claims. The Church of God and Saints of Christ have located in their new home at 4050 Fairfax. Rev. J. H. Anderson is pastor.

Madame Lyda is an authority in Hair Culture, having clearly demonstrated her ability, by the wonderful effect of her Hair Preparations. Madame Lyda's brief stay at her new home and Hair Parlors has greatly stimulated her old customers and all express delightful satisfaction with the change. She wishes to further announce through the columns of the Argus that she has succeeded in having secured the co-operation of Madame Mamie Banks, who is also a Scalp Specialist of rare ability. Mesdames Lyda and Banks are ably assisted by Mrs. Nellie McCall, whose many customers testify as her ability. The new phone address will be given as soon as it is installed. She is now ready to receive and accommodate all customers at 3450 Pine St. Madame Lyda wishes to gratefully thank all her old and new customers, especially those who supported her so liberally and generously during the earlier years of her struggles for a foothold in the business world.

Mrs. Dabney, with her co-workers, is stopping with Mrs. Crittenden Clark, at 5654 North Market St. and her permanent headquarters in this city will be at 1403 Market St. Madam Dabney's 20th Century Hair Preparation needs no special introduction in this city as those who have come to us from the different cities in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Colorado, Nebraska, and all southern and western states will readily testify to the benefits derived from using this wonderful preparation. Madam Dabney will be in the city for the next six weeks instructing her representatives in the work and will be pleased to meet her many friends and patrons at her office, 1403 Market, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 o'clock p. m. daily.

All the fellows seemed to have a good time. The Glee Club, under Mr. Keeton, has about completed its number of voices, although there are a few places for any men who can qualify.

GOSNELL, Anthent to the Dune, Moody Bible Institute Chicago TEXT—As poor, yet making many rich. II Cor. 6:10. On Christmastide a certain Christian worker was troubled because he could not make many gifts. His poverty distressed him, until there began thrumming in his brain the words of the text: "As poor, yet making many rich." He forgot his poverty and began to understand the joy of the apostle, who had learned "to suffer need." 1. Paul enriched the world, by his life. All his preaching was enforced by his testimony, "I live, yet not I but Christ liveth in me." Spurgeon comments on the wondrous power of George Muller's preaching: it was quite simple, but the hearer felt that here was a man dealing with realities of which he knew. The bishop of Durham tells of a university preacher at Cambridge who generally spoke to empty benches, yet when the students were sick or dying they would send for this man; his life was fragrant. 2. His prayers were another source of Paul's riches for the world. We may say without straining language that he prayed "without ceasing," and we may follow him here. Says John R. Mott: "It is possible for the most obscure person in a church with a heart right toward God, to exercise as much power for the evangelization of the world as it is for those who stand in the most prominent positions. Therefore no one is excusable if he commits the great sin of omitting to pray." We can make missionaries and native churches rich, aye, and our own church and community, too, no matter how poor we may be. Dr. G. Campbell Morgan tells of a preacher who would go from pew to pew in his church on weekdays and pray for those who sat there on Sunday; Dr. Morgan ventures the opinion that this is perhaps the highest service that even a great preacher could do for his flock. 3. His writings are one of Paul's gifts to the world. What a heritage are his epistles! We know how "Pilgrim's Progress" was written by a tinker in jail. If we object that this tinker had unusual genius, it may be replied that many ordinary persons, with love for Christ in their souls, have done valiant service with the pen. It was a letter from a friend, written with a faltering heart, that led Henry Clay Trumblu to Christ; the world knows of his splendid service as preacher, explorer, expositor, Sunday school worker and editor. We heard of a woman who watched the daily record of deaths in the papers and sent to every bereaved household a letter or booklet containing a word for the Master: Who does not covet her reward and who could not do likewise? 4. His preaching was another of Paul's blessings for men. He could say to multitudes of converts, as he said to the Thessalonians, "What is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?" Preachers, it has been said, are often like camels which are laden with spices and jewels, but they themselves feed on thistles. But though poor, how have they made many rich! We knew of one who had not realized all the ambitions of his early ministry; his churches had been obscure and his salary small, and it grieved him that his wife had dressed shabbi. Yet here, he had led a poor country lad to Christ; there; he had helped a boy get off to college; there, he had loaned his books to a hungry soul. And at his funeral his body was borne of bishops and lawyers and magnates who came to shed sincere tears over the man who had done them the greatest service ever performed for them—who had led them to Christ. Spiritual treasure has been so showered upon us that we enrich men when we are unaware. We listened recently to the story of a young man who, after serving Satan well, had come to Christ. He was a sailor on an English ship, which was lying in a harbor off the coast of Cornwall. One quiet afternoon, as he was washing dishes there was borne to him from the shore the sound of Christian song. A casket was being carried through the village streets and the simple Cornish folk who followed were singing that noble hymn: O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home. Little did they think of their audience in the kitchen of the ship yonder, but the song followed this warward sailor lad over the high seas until he had found the true "Shelter from the stormy blast." A soul in which Christ lives scatters light and blessing everywhere—"as poor, yet making many rich." A. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course. Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON TEXT I- Samuel 14:1-12. GOLDEN TEXT- Let us put on the armor of light- Rom. 12:12. Samuel's review of his life of integrity, his charge to the Israelites, God's testimony of displeasure over their persistent desire to have a king, and Samuel's words of comfort and assurance as found in chapter 12, form an interesting connection with last Sunday's lesson. In chapter 13 we have the record of Israel again in distress and of Saul's folly in his assumption (Rom. 12:14). ing the priestly office (vv. 13, 14). I. Saul's Distress, vv. 14. That Saul's disobedience, just indicated, had incurred God's displeasure, we know. It evidently had its effect upon the people also, for his army had dwindled during the intervency fifteen or eighteen years, from 320,000 (ch. 11:8) to a feeble 600 (v. 2). They were further handicapped by a lack of weapons (ch. 13:19-23). Deserted by Jehovah, by Samuel, Jehovah's priest, and by nearly all of his enthusiastic subjects (see 11:12) Saul was "in the uttermost part of Gibeah" hiding under a pomegranate tree (see vv. 11, 23 and 13:6). This may refer to his being at Rimmon (Judges 20:43-47). In this retirement Saul retained Ahiah (v. 3) as priest, thus keeping up the outward form of worship. This priest is not referred to as Jehovah's. He was a grandson of Phinehas, one of Ell's wicked sons, and as such was not to be a successor in the high priest's office (ch. 2:30-36). Such an outward form of "dead works" cannot take the place of a living faith. For Saul to consult the oracle of the Urim and Thummim worn by the priest and later to call up familiar spirits, shows his lack of spiritual apprehension. The references made to Saul's conduct (chapters 12, 13) are an indication of his character and emphasize the psalmist's words as found in Ps. 119:11, 105. II. Jonathan's Victory, vv. 4-13. But God had one leader to whom he could speak, Jonathan, who is one of the finest and most attractive characters in the whole Bible. This episode is among the most brilliant in the history of the Israeliish nation. It was a brave deed, and an evidence of that triumphant faith shown so clearly in Jonathan's dealings with David. There seems to be a suggestion that Jonathan had lost confidence in his father, for neither he nor the people knew where Jonathan had gone. Verses 4 and 5 vividly picture the nature of the location wherein Jonathan undertook this feat. Jonathan clearly counted upon the fleshly covenant sign as ground upon which to expect help and victory over his enemies, who lacked such a sign (v. 6). The army of the Philistines had been divided into three sections (Ch. 13: 17), and this gave Jonathan his opportunity. The garrison at Michmash was on the opposite side of the ravine from Geba, Sanl's headquarters. Hidden by the cliffs it was quite easy to approach the Philistines. It is an interesting and enlightening conversation recorded as ensuing on that journey. Jonathan—It may be that the Lord will work for us; for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few (v. 6). Armorbearer—Do all that is in thine heart; behold I am with thee. Jonathan—We will pass over, and will discover ourselves. The test, as recorded in verses 9 and 10 was a real one and a revelation of Jonathan's shrewdness. Not to be invited up by the Philistines would suggest a desire they may have had to cover up any weakness. To be asked to "come" suggests their self-confidence. Today's Message. Two young men of faith saved a nation sunk in despair and disgrace. They inspired confidence in God and his promises. "Youth for battles, old age for counsel," but there are times that demand action more than conference and consideration. Courage is only of value, however, when based upon much training, devotion to God, the interests of others, and a clear vision. It is not a mere flash in life's pathway. Courage is contagious; Jonathan's feat set on fire the soul of a nation. Read again the roll of honor in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. The highest courage is not physical but moral. This courage is open to all, but it is intelligently grounded upon God's sure revelation in his word and in the person of his Son, our Lord. "And his armor-bearer after him." Jonathan did not go alone. On the other hand it is not probable this young lad would have gone up those rocks had not Jonathan led the way; because one went before him so was able to scale the fortress. God alone knows the heights to which we may attain, but does not ask us to go alone, nor expect us to do the impossible. The greatest heroes are not military, they are Christian heroes, who put on the Christian armor and whose "strength is the strength of ten because their hearts are pure." Such heroes are not damaged at the contempt and gibes of the enemy. Prompt Service Phone, NO ONE CAN MOVE PETER MOVING AND EXPRESS LEVY GREEN AND BRO.

HATCHING SEASON NOW OPEN ```markdown ``` 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.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS If permanent results are to be secured, the Negro who actually cultivates the land must be reached and trained into growing a good producing crop. How can this be done? My answer would be, by putting a Negro farm demonstration agent into every county of the South where there is any considerable number of Negro farmers. This Negro demonstration agent should be a man of good common sense. He should be a man who knows the characteristics of the colored people, who knows how to reach them in and through their societies, their churches and their various organizations of one kind and another. He should be a man required to travel from one farm to another throughout the country training the Negro farmer how to produce a food crop. Wherever these demonstration agents have already been at work in the South they have done work which has been most helpful and commendable. If this important work is to be done, no time should be lost in selecting these demonstration agents. The cost should not be large. Either through county appropriations or from some part of the state funds appropriated for agricultural purposes, a portion of the money for the salary perhaps could be provided. Appropriations are also being made by the United States government to encourage and promote various kinds of agricultural work. Some part of this money, I feel sure, might be secured from the Smith-Lever fund, or from the United States demonstration fund administered through Dr. Bradford Knap. While I am not in position to suggest just where the money may be secured, I think if an earnest effort is made some portion of it can be secured from some of the funds or agencies here mentioned—Booker T. Washington. On the night of Lincoln's birthday, February 12, at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in Ethical culture hall, New York city, Governor Whitman of New York state made an address and awarded the Spingarn medal. This medal, which is of gold, valued at $100, is offered annually by Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National association, to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor, whether that field be intellectual, spiritual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other. The medal is awarded for the first time this year and the committee making the decision consists of Bishop John Hurst, chairman; ex-President Taft, John Hope, president of Morehouse college; Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Jeanes and Slater funds, and Oswald Garrison Villard, president of the New York Evening post company. In addition to Governor Whitman there were other distinguished speakers at the meeting on February 12: Moorfield Stony, the well-known attorney of Boston and president of the National association; Prof. William Pickens of Whey university; Mirra All Kull Kahn, representative of Perla to the United States, and Lincoln Bates, Jr., who told of racial progress in South America. Mr. Villard presided. In commemoration of the memory of Frederick A. Douglass and John M. Langaton, a large number of Negro residents of Washington attended the meeting of the Bethal Literary and Historical association of Metropolitan A. M. E. church. The eulogy of all of these former representatives of the colored race was given by J. C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn., son-in-law of the latter, and an address dealing with the achievements and character of both was given by John C. Dancy, former recorder of deeds, Mrs. Little Langton Napier also talked of her father's life. Others who spoke were Rev. C. H. Stephens, L. C. Gregory, F. D. Lee, James H. Marshall and Messrs. Smith and Maxfield. Frank Williams recited an original poem entitled "Fifty Years of Freedom." Music was furnished by the E. Azala Hillley chorus, James A. Wright, director, and Mrs. Martha Ligons, accompanist. "Seems to me," remarked the Man on the Car, "there are times when we ought to stop praying for more blessings and ask for an extra consignment of gratitude."—Toledo Blade. Consul Felix S. S. Johnson of Kingston, Canada, writes that as a result of suggestions contained in a report on American wall papers in Canada new trade openings have been made. The consul reports that an American manufacturer who sent a salesman to the province is meeting with marked success. British Columbians are making gas from coal mine refuse. Ohio's minimum legal salary for school teachers is $40 a month. The oldest Negro publishing house in the country is operated by the African Episcopal church at, 361 Pine street, Philadelphia. Here all the hymn books, church diplices and other church literature are published. Here, since 1852, the Christian Recorder, the oldest Negro newspaper in existence, has been published. Here, since 1852, the oldest Negro magazine, the A. M. E. Review, also has been published. Here many, of the books written by Negroes have been printed. The largest and without doubt best equipped Negro publishing house is also operated by this church. It is the Sunday School Union at Nashville, which supplies nearly 300,000 Negro children with their Sunday school literature, taking nearly 50 persons to do the work. This literature is written, printed and distributed by Negroes. Connected with this department is a Sunday school journal called The Young Allenite, a young people's journal called the Allen Endeavorer and a weekly paper, the Southern Christian Recorder. The church started 100 years ago, with less than 400 members; it now has three-quarters of a million; and raises annually about $4,000,000. Its property is worth $12,000,000. It has over 6,000 churches and 7,500 preachers. Its general financial scheme is based upon a tax of $1 for each member. This goes to pay the salaries of bishops, general officers, pensions of widows, retired bishops, orphans, superannuated preachers, etc. Other departments are church extension, young people's, the Western Christian Recorder. To rationalize education throughout the country has been and is the purpose of those making for the nation's progress. As the great majority of men are engaged today in constructive work—that industrial, technical, commercial and institutions of training for that are-growing in number everywhere where the note of progress is decided. The rationalization of the educational system for the Negro should find cooperative action now among intelligent people of both races. Just as the Boston School of Technology initiated in the country the practical form of education for which the nation's inventive and constructive forces made demand; just as the tidal wave bringing industrial training to the South came to save a social inertia, as well as one educational, Hampton Institute, Virginia, has come as the prophet of that spirit of educational light which the Negro race may look to as their star of hope and guide to progress. Hampton institute trains men and women to lead the men and women of their race in avenues of usefulness. It incubates the building up of the racial standards which home the basic principles, and the watchword of the school I would define as racial responsibility—the responsibility not only of individual development, but of the race's development. Ammonia bombs are being used in some of the national forests in America to extinguishe forest fires, especially in connection with brush fires, where the fire fighters cannot get near enough to the burning area to beat out the flames. Too many men are expecting to catch a ride on the road to success.—Albany Journal. According to the preliminary report of the census bureau, just published, the colored population of the country has been making a good record of progress, measured by the returns of the decade with which development it deals. They have increased in number, though at a much lower rate than the native whites, and far below the record of the foreign born whites. in the ten year period the total value of the farm property operated by Negroes has more than doubled and now exceeds very considerably $1,000,000.00. But perhaps the most encouraging gain of all is the advance that has been made in education. In 1910 more than 57 per cent of the blacks were reported as illiterate. That has now been reduced to a little over 30 per cent. If the 1920 census shows as well for them, the white people may find themselves left behind, at least in elementary education.—Boston Transcript. The department of agriculture estimates that disease and exposure caused a loss in meat animals in this country amounting to $150,000,000.

Our pleasure is the greater because the voters did as The Argus had advised them to do. We called attention to the fact, in a previous issue, that all the candidates had been sent a letter, asking where they stood on the segregation question. This letter was sent out by the local branch of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In our last issue, we published the names of those safe candidates for us to vote for, and we recommended that the Negro vote accordingly. The result of the election showed that our advice was followed. Great thanks are due the organization above mentioned for its splendid services and its foresight and vigilance in the matter. Praise is likewise due our voters for once holding together and voting in the interest of the race and not for individual interests. It shows what we frequently argue, that the Negro, united, holds the balance of power. Now let us profit by this experience. Whenever a danger threatens us, we need only to present a united front, when few, if any, dangers will be able to stand against us. No stronger argument can be presented in favor of the St. Louis branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People than this work prior to the primary election. An obligation rests upon our citizenship to hear and heed the call being made this week for many new members. Let us make this a great organization—numerically and influentially. Become a member. OUR BAND BOYS Sunday will be the last of the series of bands at Pythian Hall. We feel that a word of recommendation is due these capable organizers that our people should be proud of the bands, elated upon so valuable an accession to our most among the features is the training it gives. We refer not alone to the musical training of any art is an important factor in civilization. But we have in mind also the training iniment. We stand in need of these things; but more than other boys have the prestige and development behind them. Our boys have little or not, nor parents had few opportunities, limited education. In not many cases are the parents of our boys need in discipline and deportment; ourselves. Our noticeable feature is the self-confidence we developing. Their concerts have been made by the solo work and other individual contributions of young people—all of which would be a credit to more experienced talent. We would like to see a large and representative band their closing concert next Sunday. We itself generally, interested and appreciative envoys boys into these bands. We would like to see these young musicians the moral and fine reserve. Next Sunday will be the last of the series of band concerts of the season at Pythian Hall. We feel that a word of encouragement and commendation is due these capable organizations. We feel, too, that our people should be proud of the bands as well as be congratulated upon so valuable an accession to our civic life. Foremost among the features is the training it gives the boys themselves. We refer not alone to the musical training, though the cultivation of any art is an important factor in civilization and refinement. But we have in mind also the training in discipline and deportment. All boys stand in need of these things; but more particularly, our boys. Other boys have the prestige and development of their entire race behind them. Our boys have little or nothing behind them. Their parents had few opportunities, limited education and no encouragement. In not many cases are the parents able to give the training our boys need in discipline and deportment; they never had it themselves. Another noticeable feature is the self-confidence which these boys are developing. Their concerts have been made more interesting by the solo work and other individual contributions to the program by young people—all of which would be a credit to much older and more experienced talent. We would like to see a large and representative audience greet them at their closing concert next Sunday. We would like to see parents generally, interested and appreciative enough to seek to get their boys into these bands. We would like to see the public at large give these young musicians the moral and financial support they deserve. NATIONAL HEALTH WEEK National Negro Business League has sent out a visit Washington, for the observance of "Health on Sunday the 21st. I expected that every pastor of a colored church and the call to his congregation and urge uponance of the suggestions offered by the Nation be that no pastor in St. Louis will fail to pregation. Sacred Certainly! For if there is Almighty requires of His children, it is health not that your body is the temple of the Holy bodies a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable our reasonable service." The National Negro Business League has sent out a call, signed by President Washington, for the observance of "Health Week," beginning with Sunday the 21st. It is expected that every pastor of a colored church in America will read the call to his congregation and urge upon his people the observance of the suggestions offered by the National Committee. We hope that no pastor in St. Louis will fail to perform this sacred obligation. Sacred Certainly! For if there is any one thing God Almighty requires of His children, it is health. "What! Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost?" "Present your bodies a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Indeed, it is made an absolute condition of entrance into heaven. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord, or who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart." Cleanliness is not only next to, but equal with, godliness. And cleanliness can only result from observing the fundamental laws of health. Most of us realize the importance of personal cleanliness—clean clothes and clean bodies. But equally important are our surroundings. People are largely the product of their environ- THE ST.

Those who live in the midst of dirt will be dirty—physically or morally—or both. Adversely, those whose surroundings are clean will be clean, even though they may be poor. Poverty is no excuse for dirt or disease. Hence the emphasis which the National Health Committee puts upon the cleaning up of our surroundings. Therefore, we supplement the call of the League, and urge every Negro resident to observe Health Week by a general cleaning up of person, of house, of grounds and of surroundings. The result will be twofold: First, health. Every dust heap, every dirt pile is a breeder of disease; and of those particular types of disease which are peculiar to the Negro. Second, respect. No person, dirty or living amid dirt, can be self-respecting. And no person lacking in self-respect can command the respect of others. Then, let us clean up. Not only will it bring us an epidemic of health; not only will it make us self-respecting; but it will command and win the respect of the white residents. And thus will be effectively answered their stock argument that neighborhoods run down and property depreciates with the invasion of Negro residents. So, down with dirt, the Tyrant!

WILLIAM KNIGHT, "FORSHAW" REPAIRS FOR "ANY OLD" STOVE 111 NORTH 12th STREET CENTRAL 3491-R MAIN 2043 LET US DO Your Printing EASY WAY TO FILTER WATER Simple and Comparatively Without Cost—Excellent Lamp for the Sickroom—Tewel Brackets. It often happens that pump water is filled with sand or gritty substance, and one must wait until it has settled before it is fit to use. If this is the case, an easy way to filter it is to take a rather fine sponge, just large enough to fit into the spout of the pump. Attach a wire to the sponge, so that when it is pushed up in the spout it can easily be removed. When the water runs through this sponge it will come out clear, for the sand will be collected by the sponge. Be sure not to get the sponge too large, or it will stop the flow of water. Take the sponge out at least twice a week and clean it thoroughly. A small lamp can be made for the sickroom by taking a bottle such as mucilage comes in and attaching to it by a wire a short piece of brass or copper tubing one-eighth of an inch in diameter. A thick piece of cotton cord makes the wick, and the chimney is simply a tumbler with the bottom cut out. These lamps are safe and will burn without odor. Lard oil will be found a good substitute for kerosene and will be less apt to smoke. Very serviceable brackets for a towel roller can be made by using ordinary wire hooks, as shown in the illustration. The roller is made of wood—a broom handle will do—and two nails with the heads knocked off are inserted in the ends. These are put through the opening in the ends of the hooks, so that the roller can revolve easily. When it is necessary to change towels, spring the hooks apart and slip out the roller. HOUSEHOLD HINTS It is a needless waste of fire to keep a stove red-hot all the time. Rice with grated cheese over it makes a change as a luncheon dish. makes a change as a luncheon dish. Turpentine is said to restore the lost whiteness of ivory handles of cutlery. Bordered or plastered walls make an excellent background if stained a good color. Cream cheese and watercress will make a delicious sandwich for the lunch basket. Sometimes merely bending new kinks into a hat make it look like a new shape. Charming footstool covers are made of gray linen worked in colored cross-stitch design. No fruit salad is complete without a touch of color in the shape of a maraschino cherry. A good meat salad is made with chopped cold meat and cold boiled potatoes, onion and parsley. Bread and butter, cheese and beans, nuts and sugar, are among the best foods for the hard worker. It is said that all kinds of natural-colored feathers can be washed in luke-warm water and good white soap. Hints for Good Cooks. Salad dressing can be made of almost anything, but the best imitation of the genuine can be manufactured by taking two teacupfuls of gasoline, a pint of ammonia, three tablespoonfuls of cod liver oil and a jigger of axle grease. There is always one way sure to tell when an egg is bad. Boll it soft and then open it with a common case knife or a spoon. If it is bad you will not be left long in doubt. Peach Pie. Line pie plate with a rich pie crust and fill with peaches, either canned or fresh. Sweeten as desired and bake until nearly done. Then cover top with dots of currant jelly, or any tart jell and finish baking. Beat whites of two eggs stiff; stir in one-fourth cupful sugar; spread over pie and brown. With Your Pepper Seeds. When using green or red sweet peppers save the seeds, which you find in large numbers inside the shell. Dry these on a plate and put them in a wide-necked bottle. They are delicious for giving seat to soups, gravies, sauces, salad dressing and the like. To Clean a Carpet Sweeper. A very coarse scrubbing brush will be found the beat thing for removing the threads, hairs, etc., which are so hard to get out of the brushes of a carpet sweeper. For Tar Stains. Tar stains may be removed from cotton fabrics by covering the spots with butter and allowing it to remain for a few hours before washing. Flannel Dish Cloths. Try using white outing flannel for dish cloths. They are very durable also softer for glass and fine china. A 14-inch square is a good size. Hints for Good Cooks. Peach Ple.

GIANTS WILL OPEN SEASON APRIL 18 Manager Charles Mills announces Sunday, April 18, as the opening day for the Giants 1915 base ball season here. All fandom will be served with a big surprise when it journeys out to the beautiful new park at 6100 North Broadway on that day. Nothing has been left undone in preparing one of the most complete parks in the country. The comfort of the patrons has been arranged to the minutest detail. Forty-one large, comfortable boxes, of four seats each, have been installed. Nine of these have already been reserved by the American Hotel Waiters for the opening game. On that day Former Umpire Robert L. Jones, head waiter at the American Hotel, will umpire one inning as a farewell to his baseball activity. On Monday night, April 19, a farewell banquet and reception will be tendered Mr. Jones at the Keystone Cafe. Mr. Mills has gathered together a club of well-known stars that will be hard to beat, and the fans are sure of high class base ball. The complete line-up will probably be published next week. Chester Smith, who is attending to the advertising in the 'Ville, is rehdering indispensable service and expects that section of the city to turn out en masse on Sunday, April 18. BOOKER WASHINGTON Booker Washington Theater patrons are being served with a very classy show this week. The Artie Mathews Sextette, of two women and four men, open the bill with a repertoire of songs well arranged and rendered. Mr. Mathews presides at the piano opening with "Rachmanoff Prelude. Tom Mills takes up "The Opera Rag," from one of the boxes and does well. He later presents "Garden of My Heart," from the stage. Miss Missouri Mayo, in "Song of the Soul," and Miss Marguerite Dore, -in "The Craw-Dad Man," assisted by Ed. Hester from the audience, make decisive hits. Ben Horton sings a base solo with good effect. The entire company closes with a medley of choruses and are generously applauded. The Blanke Sisters, Arsceola and Burleanna, keep up their classy standard with a collection of tuneful melodies. Both are excellent singers and make a good stage appearance. Their work is finished and delivered with a polish that classes them with the best of female performers. They are favorites with the B. W. patrons. Tim and Hester Moore are presenting an altogether different act this week which shows the apparent unlimited versatility of this team. Their feature is a burlesque magic from which they get much comedy by exposing their mystic feats to the audience. They do considerable singing and dancing and go good with the crowds. Tim and Hester Moore will remain over in St. Louis, and commencing week after next will put on a series of tabloids, assisted by Bowman and Burnette and other talent. Some amateur performers will be used and any young men or women wishing to get engagements should report immediately to Mr. Turpin at the Booker Washington box office. No experience is necessary. Anyone with talent can be used. --- The Argus man squeezed into the Booker Washington Wednesday night for the house was packed to the doors, hundreds standing. Every act was going big; but the Blanke Sisters almost stopped the show. They are immensely popular. Tim and Hester Moore had changed their act to one of their favorite comedies and were cleaning up. Mathews and his sextette were being lionized. Everybody was happy. Even the box office was in smiles. Charlie Turpin was too small for the big crowd and could not be found.

"Broncho Billy," will be seen Tuesday, also "Charlie Chapin," the greatest comedian of the movies, in a two-reel comedy. Wednesday, "The Girl Detective" in another thrilling adventure solving another mystery that has baffled the police. The management feels confident that the Movie patrons will realize the value of such productions and is always after the best features obtainable. $50 REWARD FOR A NAME Offered For Best Title For The Sterling "No Name" Photo-Play at Comet Theater Next Monday Night, March 22 Patrons of the Comet Theater, 21st and Market Street will get a chance to compete for the $50 reward offered for the best and most appropriate title or name-for the sterling drama photo-play that will be shown there next Monday night only.

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. Youragent, Mrs. Muriel Hall, Tampa, Fla. Dear Madam: Yes, Nineteen Fourteen, in the month of August, I was visiting my friend, Mrs. Emma B. Wills; 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 Oils, 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. Your agent, Mrs. Annie Johnson, New Decatur, Ala. 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.
