DR. C. H. PARRISH, D.D., F.of R. G. S. TO SPEAK AT ST. PAUL Distinguished Divine and Wealthy Citizen of Louisville, Ky. Companion of Dr. W. Sampson Brooks on Cruise To Holy Land will Assist in Book Review Celebration Friday Night This distinguished divine of the Baptist Church of Kentucky is to be present Friday evening, April 23, at 8 o'clock at St. Paul to take part in the great celebration of the Footprints of a Black Man to the Holy Land." Dr. C. H. Parrish, D. D., F. R. G. S., is Moderator over 90,000 colored Baptists in Kentucky, and is an official of the National Baptist Convention, comprising two and one-half million Baptists. He has filled every important position in his denomination in the state of Kentucky, having pastored continuously for twenty-nine years. He has traveled extensively, visiting every state in the union, and is mentioned by the author of "Footprints of a Black Man" in numerous instances. His biography, his prayer in the Temple of Diana at Ephesus, where the delegates held services; his picture, breast deep in the Jordan, are interesting features of Dr. Brooks' book. In 1905 he was sent by the National Baptist Convention to the Baptists' World Congress in London. He preached in Spurgeon's Temple in E. London, spoke in Exeter Hall, having two newspaper columns in the London Times, and has traveled in Germany in the interest of missions. Dr. Parrish is highly regarded and has been signally honored by the citizens of Louisville, having been appointed by the mayor and governor as a representative in educational, sociological and sanitary bodies. Dr. Parrish is organizer and superintendent of the Kentucky Home Society for Colored Children, which receives a yearly appropriation of $10,000 from the state. He was president twenty-four years of Eckstein: Norton Institute and united it with Old Berea, thus forming Lincoln Institute at Lincoln Ridge, Ky., to which Mr. Carriegle recently donated $200,000. This program will present to the public a brilliant trio of representative race men: Bishop H. B. Parks, D. D., master of ceremonies; Dr. C. H. Parrish, and Prof. Frank L. Williams, A. M., principal of Sumner High School, who will review the book, "Footprints of a Black Man to the Holy Land." A unique feature of the program will be the processional entry in the church of all its officers and auxiliary bodies in the following routine: 1. Reception Committee. 2. Junior Ushers. 3. Stewardess Board No. 1. 4. Trustees. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The audience last Sunday was made up largely of members from sister churches to hear the Easter musical program, which was repeated for their benefit. The visitors crowded the auditorium to standing room and were rewarded with a most beautiful rendition of the several pieces composed by Rev. Martyn himself and presented under his direction, with him at the organ. A rare treat, however, was the sermon delivered by Dr. Martyn. An eloquent wordpicture of judgment day will ever be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to hear it. Dr. Martyn is spending the week in Chicago with his wife, who is visiting there, but will return in time to fill his pulpit Sunday. MATHEWS APPOINTED SER GEANT-AT-ARMS OF FIRST BOARD OF ALDERMEN Will Receive Salary of $1,800 a Year Wm. Mathews was appointed sergeant-at-arms of the new Board of Aldermen Tuesday. He received 22 votes to Jeff Comington's 2 and Ralph Turner's 1. The position pays $150 per month and is the biggest plum that has been given a Negro so far. The appointment was a victory for the Turpin-Phillips Combination. GREATER WORK FOR WOMEN Since finishing a course in Bible study embracing the entire Bible, Mrs. H. B. Carnett, 3301 Lawton Ave., states that the course has greatly strengthened and enriched her life spiritually. She says that more of our women should take to Bible study, Mrs. Carnett has charge of Bible study class at Y. W. C. A. 5. Stewardess Board No. 2. 6. Class Leaders. 7. Stewardess Board No. 3. 8.

Officers of Choral Club. In the story of his travels to the Holy Land, entitled "Footprints of a Black Man," the author, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, has given a very graphic and glowing account of familiar Bible scenes, and has brought to the mental vision of the reader a picture of Palestine, its famous towns, mountains, rivers, and lakes, the peculiar customs of the people which prevail today in many instances as in patriarchal days. Dr. Brooks made the cruise in March, 1904, as one of 800 delegates to the World's Fourth Sunday-school Convention at Jerusalem. Stops were made at Madeira, Athens, Gibraltar, Malta, Algiers, Constantinople and Beirut. Especially vivid is the description of the memorable island of Malta, where the Apostle Paul was shipwrecked and where later flourished the famous order of the Crusaders known as the Knights of St. John and the Knights of Malta. Constantinople is described, the manners and customs of the Mohammedans, the famous mosque, St. Sophia, making an intensely interesting chapter on Moslem life and religion. The historic and classic city of Athens is visited; the Isle of Patmos, Smyrna and Ephesus, and the missionary endeavors at Beirut pointed out and described. Sailing down the Mediterranean sea to Haifa, the overland route is followed to the Sea of Galilee, from thence through Cana, Nazareth, across the Plain of Esdraelon to Jerusalem, the final goal of the tourist. The Holy Land, its famous sites and environs, are featured, and one has METROPOLITAN NOTES By Miss Callie King Last Sunday was a great day at the New Metropolitah A. M. E. Zion Church. Dr. R. L. King, Presiding Elder, preached two able sermons. Dr. B. F. Abbott preached the communion sermon in the afternoon. Next Sunday, Dr. Shaw, the pastor, will begin a series of sermons of the "Life of Moses." Sunday morning he will preach from the subject, "The Burning Bush." Sunday night he will also begin a series of sermons from the subject, "Some Important Things From the Life of Christ." His text Sunday night will be, "Behold, I Stand at the Door and Knock." The activity of our young people is growing more encouraging, the Sunday-school and Christian Endeavor have become more important. Brother James Brown, one of the faithful members of the Trustee Board, is much improved and is now at home, 2617 Lucas Ave. Mr. Henry O. Anderson, one of the officials of the Trustee Board who has been very ill, is much better at this writing. Brother Chas. Jenkins, one of our loyal class leaders, expects his class to be the banner class next month. Watch him. ROBBED The home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Moseley, 4448 St. Ferdinand, was entered last week by a daylight burglar who took a suit of clothes belonging to Mr. Moseley and silverware and other valuable articles of Mrs. Moseley's. No clew has been found as to the intruder. A celebration of the Review of the "Footprints of a Black. Man," has been arranged for Friday, April 23, at the St. Paul Church. Everyone is invited to be present. a clear vision of a real town, a real Christ, a real Calvary, whereas before his idea was vague and abstract, and represented to him a mythical or phantom city instead of the town of Roes, people, incased by, famous walls and towers and entered still through its famous Damascus and Joppa Gates by a living stream of motley humanity in the guise of tourists, merchants, trades-men, pilgrims, and worshipers. The story is well illustrated by pictures of famous sites and scenes, many of them showing the author and his companion on their journey. Egypt is visited Cairo and Alexandria are described, as also are the famous Egyptian Pyramids and Egyptian life. As a fitting climax to this journey, Rome, the "Eternal City," is visited. Here the author was received in the Vatican by his Holiness, Pope Pius X. Much interest will be aroused in the accounts of St. Peters and other famous edifices, in this, the most interesting city in the world. "Footprints of a Black Man" will prove a valuable book to Bible students, to scholars, to missionaries, and to every man, woman and child who is interested in Oriental ideas and customs. This book is unique and attractive because it is the account of a Negro who has enjoyed the rare privilege of visiting the Holy Land and seeing with his own eyes the land of Jesus' birth, life, ministry, crucifixion and glorious resurrection. He has traversed the same paths the Master trod, rested by the same land marks, tasted the waters of the springs from which the Master drank, and admired the same sunny fields, blue skies, picturesque valleys and hills He loved. He has followed the trail of Moses, Joshua and Elijah and he feels that the public will appreciate the story of an American Negro's experience in the land of Palestine and will derive much pleasure, entertainment and information from this absorbing description. THE BOOK "Footprints of a Black Man" is bound in silk vellum with title and design for book cover in gold. It contains over 60 illustrations. more than 300 pages, and is printed in unusually large and clear type. The Price is $1.50. Postage Extra.

Miss Erline Jones has been added to the force as floor manager. BIRDIE BEAL, PIONEER LADY EMBALMER A long stride of progress in the proper direction has been made by Birdie Beal, and she is deserving of the cordial encouragement of all the members of her race and sex. Miss Beal is the only colored lady embalmer in the city of St. Louis or state of Missouri, having successfully passed the required examination before the Board of Examiners in November, and is prepared to render first-class service to ladies. Having been well trained and having been authorized by the commonwealth, she must indeed be competent, and those who avail themselves of her services may rest assured that she will faithfully and intelligently perform her duties in a thoroughly womanly manner. Miss Beal wishes to thank her many friends for the service rendered in trying to protect her race and sex. Miss Beal, since completing the course, has opened as lady undertaker at 2726 Lucas Avenue, connected with her father, A. L.

L. Beal, Undertaker. IMPERIAL CAFE DOES BIG SUNDAY BUSINESS As summer bloomed out in all its glory last Sunday, Imperial Cafe, at Sarah and Fairfax, got an opportunity to feel the pulse of patrons of luxury.

The young people are making great preparations for the Persian May Festival, which is to be held from 5th to 7th of May. ST. JAMES NOTES The revival just closed at St. James' A: M. E.

An able preacher and a Christian gentleman. There were seventy-eight additions in all, converts and joiners, added to the church. Everyone seemed to enjoy his singing and the choir joined heartily in with their voices to help swell the chorus.

WM. BUTLER AGAIN RECEIVES A PROMOTION In all of the National Encampments of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, General Butler has been a prominent figure. The next encampment is to be held in Columbus, Ohio, next August and he has been detailed to proceed one week in advance of the date to prepare the camps for the many thousands who will go into them the following week. He will take with him from this city his engineers, signal officers and will employ a score of civilians upon his arrival there to help with the preparations for the monster parade and camp grounds. He is to prepare everything for the comfort of every man from the Sir Knight to the Major General. General Jackson could not have selected a better qualified officer as Gen. Butler has served as captain in the U. S. Army, having seen service in the Philippine Islands and since his return home has been Brigadier General, commanding the Pythian Army in Missouri for past ten years. He has been an employee of Meyer Bros. Drug Co., for thirty-five years and has done much for the advancement of the Negro race. PRICE 5 CENTS WILLIAM PICKENS NOTED LECTURER TO SPEAK HERE Will Appear Under The Auspices of The Y. M. C. A. And The Y. W. C. A. William Pickens, the noted lecturer and scholar, has been secured for a lecture under the auspices of the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations. Mr. Pickens, during his career at Yale, made a name for himself by winning the much coveted Ten Eyck prize for oratory, which is the highest prize given at Yale, and by being elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Since leaving college, Mr. Pickens has sustained the reputation which he made in Yale, for as an orator and scholar, he is ranked among the first in the race. Only recently Mr. Pickens was called to New York City to speak before the New York Republican Club and to participate in the awarding of the Spingarn Medal of the N. A. A. C. P. All the educational and religious forces in the city will probably use to do honor to Mr. Pickens for his valiant service as a defender of the race. Mr. Pickens will be on his way from Wiley University, where he is Professor of Greek and Latin, to Baltimore to attend the conference of Corrections and Charities, before whom he has been invited to speak. The Young Men's and Young Women's Associations are doing their best to have a full house to hear Mr. Pickens on that night. The place of this lecture will be announced later. Y. W. C. A. Buys New Home Y. W. C. A. Buys New Home Phyllis Wheatly Branch Y. W. C. A. has purchased for their future home the property, buildings and ground located at Garrison and Lucas Aves. These buildings were formerly occupied by the Central Branch Y. W. C. A. before they moved to their present location at 14th and Locust, but since that time they have been used by an automobile concern. The buildings in their present condition are untenantable, and much repairing will have to be done before they can be occupied. The money with which to purchase this property was donated by a white friend whose name is withheld. The Branch is urging the collozed people of this city to help them repair the buildings so they can take immediate possession. Y. W. C. A. NOTES Our friends have doubtless read of the purchasing of the property at the corner of Garrison and Lucas Aves. This property was given by a white friend. We are urging our own people to help us in raising the two thousand ($2,000) dollars necessary for the improving of this property. The story entitled, "The Lost Christ," by Gypsy Smith, was beautifully told at our vespers Sunday by Miss Bertha P. Williams, chairman of our Girls' Department. M. C. C.'s met Saturday afternoon. After a most interesting meeting a jolly set of girls entered into "Candy Pulling Contest." Many cheers went up to the busy little hostesses. Misses Anita Haskell and Marie Parr. Miss Maydell Fossett began work last Saturday with a promising group of girls in Kirkwood. Our work is rapidly reaching out through the whole community. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Mr. Frank L. Williams will be the speaker at the last of the Men's Meetings Sunday afternoon at Douglass Hall. His subject will be "The Fulfillment of Youth." This meeting will be held at 3:30 o'clock. On last Sunday, Mr. Albert E. Buss, the manager of the mechanical department of the Christian Board of Publication, gave an interesting and inspiring program at the Men's Meeting before a large group of men. The Young Women's and the Young Men's Christian Associations take pleasure in announcing the coming of William Pickens for a lecture early in May. Mr. Pickens is one of the strongest orators in the race. During the last year he was invited to speak before the New York Republican Club of New York City. The lecture will take place on May 7th at Church. REMOVAL OF DR. S. F. PHILLIPS After April 1st. Dr. S. F. Phillips, the dentist, will be located at Compton and Lawton, above the Lawton Pharmacy.

They are from the Apostle Paul to his beloved Timothy. Gir cumstances are not so favorable with the apostle as they were during his first imprisonment at Rome. Then he dwelt in his own hired house, received all who came unto him and preached the gospel, no man forbidding Circumstances are not so favorable with the apostle as they were during his first imprisonment at Home. Then he dwelt in his own hired house, received all who came unto him and preached the gospel, no man forbidding him. Now prison walls confine him and prison chains restrain him. There he sits in his narrow cell, chained to a Roman guard, writing a letter to Timothy: "Be not ashamed," he writes, "of the testimony of our Lord, nor of his prisoner." "Yes, Timothy, all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." And, as the dampness of the cell causes him to shiver: "When thou comest bring the cloak I left at Trona," and the words of our text, "Damas hath forsaken." The significance of this statement is realised, when seen in the light of the circumstances which called it forth. Demas, a Christian, a friend of Paul, with him during his first imprisonment at Home, has abandoned the apostle. He stood by him when everything was favorable, but when imminent peril threatened Paul because of his loyalty to Christ, the contemptible coundy fled for his life. He could not stand the test, and in this, was the forerunner of many Demases of today who profess to be loyal to Christ, receiving all the good things that come from him, and who about aloud their hallelujahs and amens, but when the testing time comes lack the grit and grace to "endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ." It is one thing to shout at a Fourth of July celebration; it is another thing to shoulder a gun and march to the front. It is easy to about "hallujah" When everyone's saying "Amen:" It's another thing to stand by him When they cause him again and again. You may have wondered why many who protect loyalty to Christ sadly fall him when the testing time comes. Paul acquaints Timothy with the reason; "Demas hates foraken me, having loved this present world." That is it; the love of the world causes disloyalty to Christ. Jesus taught this when he said, "No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve Go' and Mammon." (Matt. 4:24). Does this mean, if we are to be loyal to Christ we must give up everything in the world? That depends upon what is meant by everything. Surely, anything that comes in between Christ and us must be given up. And if we are loyal to him we will surrender all, that he may in turn "give us richly all things to enjoy." As those who love him and are wise, we will weigh the things of time in the balance of eternity, just as the gold hunter in the river bottom washes the dirt that he may find the pure metal, so we should carefully sift the things of the world that we may find the good and true. The builder of the world that we may find the good and true. The builder who rears the skyscraper every bit of material that goes into the structure: how much more important it is for us not to permit anything to enter our life that will weaken any part and cause us, when the stress and strain come, to be disallowed to Christ. John Conlon, walking on the railway, caught his foot in a "trog" where two tracks crossed. He laughed at first but when he tried to extricate his foot, he found himself held rest. He heard a locomotive coming around the curve and redoubled his efforts but without avail, and the merciless monster crushed him to death. One thing, only one, held John Conlon, but it held him as securely as if he were bound to the track by a legion of soldiers. It may be just one thing, only one, that holds us from being loyal to Christ, and this one thing, as in the case of John Conlon, may prove fatal. How shall we give up the things of the world which are so alluring? It is not by giving up but by getting, that a wrong love is displaced. If the love of Christ is permitted to flow into our hearts in all its frailty, it will displace the love of the world. "If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him." This is evident, for two opposite loves can not occupy the heart at the same time. The love given the right of way will crowd the other love out. (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Conven. The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Ill.) LESSON TEXT-1 Samuel II 2:21 GOLDEN TEXT-If God be for us, who is against us- Rom. 8:21 R. V. For forty days (v. 18) Goliath defied Saul's army, encamped near Bethlehem. Three of the sons of Jesus were in Saul's army and to them David is sent with food (vv. 13, 18, 19). These brothers scornfully reproached David when he expressed a willingness to fight Goliath, accusing him of pride and reminding him that he was but a shepherd (vv. 26-29). David's words are carried to Saul and he is introduced to the king. II. Conquering Humility. vv. 45-51. David acknowledged Goliath's superior armament, yet armed with the name of the God of the army of Israel which Goliath had insulted, his confidence overtops that of the Philistine and he hurls back his broad boast. Furthermore, the victory was to be an immediate one, "this day" (Zech. 4:6; James 4:7). With calm assurance he informs Goliath of the outcome of their conflict, but takes no credit to himself. David had naught but naked faith and the sense of a just cause to strengthen his arm. He would do to Goliath and the Philistines the things that Goliath had boasted he would do to David (vv. 44 and 46) "that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel;" see also v. 47. David's seemingly insufficient preparation is now revealed to be abundant, for he had four stones more than he needed (v. 49). It is thus that God chooses the weak things to confound the mighty (I Cor. 1:27). III. Summary. We have before us three lessons. First the lesson of individual responsibility. A sinful king had paralyzed the effectiveness of the army of Israel. David, "a man after God's own heart," refused Saul's armor, crying out "I cannot go in these." Saul, bound by tradition, must use conventional weapons. Every great advance in the history of the church has been led by some man who struck out boldly, insensible alike to the conventionalism, of his friends and the gibes of the enemy. God would have every man work according to himself, not copying, not imitating, but with his own equipment. Second, all the giants of sin have not yet been overthrown. We still have the giants of Intemperance, Unchastity, Graft, Selfishness, Ambition and the Inequalities of our civic and social life. These can only be overcome in the strength of God. Bunyan mentions three giants, Pride, Grim and Pagan; to these we may add, Anger, Untruthfulness, Selfishness and Sulleness. His active faith caused him with nimble feet to attack this blasphemous enemy (v. 48). His faith in God characterises his entire life, resounds in his songs and strengthened his life of service for Jehovah. It is such faith that strengthens the arm of the true saint of God, that enables him to "overcome" in his own life, to undertake for God and to go to the ends of the earth in his name. ```markdown ``` Prompt Service Phone, NO ONE CAN MOVIE 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 Old JEFFERSON AND CUT RA This Store is often Bell, Bomont C.

Old-fashioned housekeepers cling to the old way of making apple, claiming that its flavor is far superior to the easier made product. It is indeed excellent and in cold weather keeps its form quite as well as where gelatin is used to stiffen. Get from the butcher a knuckle bone of ham, a calf's foot and a knuckle of veal. Put into two quarts of cold water, and set over the fire where it will come slowly to a boll. Add one onion with four cloves stuck into it, a large carrot, a bunch of soup herbs and a spice bag. Cook gently for four or five hours until the water is reduced about one-half. Strain and set aside to cool. When cold remove every suspicion of fat and return the thickened jelly to a clean saucepan with the crushed shells and beaten whites of two eggs, a tablespoonful of tarragon vinegar, and lemon juice or wine as preferred, to season. Salt and pepper to taste, and keep stirring until the jelly nearly reaches the boiling point and a thick scum has formed. Remove that, then draw to one side of the fire and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Set back covered, until the jelly settles, then strain through a jelly bag two or three times until quite clear. Pour into a mold that has been soaked in cold wather, then pack in a pan of snow or broken ice until hard. If you desire to have the jelly a pretty red color, add sufficient tomato to color at the same time and add the lemon or wine. RECIPE IS AN ANCIENT ONE Noel Cake for Many Years a Favorite Both In This Country and In England. To three cupfuls of sugar add two and one-half cupfuls of softened butter and whip to a light, white cream. Add ten eggs, two at a time, beating for about five minutes. To this mixture add four well sifted cupfuls of flour to which one teaspoonful of baking powder has been added; mix the whole well and add one-half cupful of shredded citron, four cupfuls of washed and dried currants, one teaspoonful each of nutmeg and cloves and one-half cupful of fruit juice. Mix well and pour into a paper-lined tin, which is also well protected with paper on the outside. Bake for two and one-half hours in a moderate oven. This should be made at least a week before serving it. When ready to serve, wrap each slice in white paraffin paper, tied with a red ribbon and a sprig of fir tucked under the ribbon—The Mother's Magazine. Although beef is not at all an ideal salad meat, surprisingly good meat salad may be made from a small piece of boiled beef (bouillii). A half cupful of such meat cut in small pieces and mixed with dainty cooked vegetables and a mayonnaise dressing may be very tasty and will make an unexpected large salad. The vinaigrette of beef, a popular way with the French of using left over boiled beef, is practically the same thing as a beef salad, except that the meat is cut in as pretty alices as possible and allowed to lie in the dressing for a time before it is served. This is what is called marinating the beef. It is good for luncheon with hot vegetables. Vinalgrette of Beef. Cut in thin slices some left over bolled beef and let it lie an hour in a marinating mixture made as follows. Thin one scant teaspoonful of mustard with enough oil and vinegar to soak the meat in. Use half and half oil and vinegar, or three times as much oil as vinegar, according to taste. Add salt and pepper and chopped fine herbs to taste. A little chopped onion may be used and the dish in which the meat is marinated may be rubbed with a clove of garlic. Boll one cupful of rice in plenty of boiling salted water until done. Put in a colander and wash several times in cold water or hold under faucet and let plenty of water run over it. Then place in a round casserole with one fourth cupful hot water. Sprinkle the top with paprika and cover with very thin slices of bacon. Cover and bake 30 minutes in a slow oven. Uncover and brown the bacon and serve at once. Spinach With Eggs. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter; when bubbling blend in one tablespoonful of flour, than add one quart of finely chopped spinach and cook and stir five minutes. Add half cupful of cream, season with pepper and salt; cook and stir three minutes longer and arrange in a mound on a heated dish. Garnish with slices of hard-boiled eggs and serve at once. Soak over night, stew and strain the largest prunes. Sweeten slightly, then cool thoroughly on ice and chop small. Add to the prune juice orange and lemon juice to flavor, stir in chopped fruit and serve in glasses banked with crushed ice. To Clean Brass Breads. To clean brass beds that have become tarnished, apply a mixture of olive oil and whiting, then rub clean with a coft, dry fannel or chamois skin. Reef Used in Salad. Rice and Bacon.

Few, however, know that the greatest battle of Washington's life was fought to secure for his countrymen the Constitution of the United States. Almost immediately after the Revolution it seemed that all the great sacrifice of blood and treasure had been in vain. The original thirteen states refused to work in harmony, either in spirit or in law. The new Republic was toterting to its foundations. At this critical period in American history the most brilliant men of each state met in convention and unanimously elected Washington as president — undoubtedly the most momentous gathering of its kind the world has ever known. Here he displayed as great ability as a lawmaker as he had as a warrior. For months the Fathers of the Republic Visitors to St. Louis are cour- tently invited to inspect our plant— covers 142 acres.

NO. 1 "Father of His Country" labored, and finally adopted our present National law, which forever guarantees Religious, Commercial and Personal Liberty. This was in 1787. Seventy years later Anheuser-Busch established their great institution on the tenets of the Federal law which Washington did so much to create.

To-day 7500 people are daily employed to keep pace with the ever-increasing public demand. The great popularity of their famous brand—BUDWEISER—due to quality, purity, mildness and exquisite flavor, has made its sales exceed those... of any other beer by millions of bottles.

Especially is this true along Lawton venue and Pine Street. The Brotherhood of Union Memorial M. E. Church is the omy organization that has put itself on record as being willing to jom in this tight for more beautiful surrouhdings in the Negro neighborhoods. They have urged everybody who has any yard space te dig up and sow grass seed; and if there were those who had no seed, the Brotherhood, through their pastor, Rev. Abbott, would furnish them gratis. What more could be offered? What better opportunity could be given? The Argus feels proud that an active organization like the Brotherhood heeded its call and went to work along this im- portant line. What organized body will be the next to join the ranks? It is a mark of pride and self-respecp-tu those that dwell therein to see your yard is cleaned up. A RAINY DAY What 1s a rainy day? The answer is: A day when it rains. Yes, it means more than that; commonly speaking, it means a day of misfortune or When oe is Out of a job of when one cannot work. The saying is as old as the hill&. It comes to us all. No one has all sunshine, be he king or peasant. But the wise will prepare for the rainy day. ‘ ‘The writer has in mind a class of men whe earn what we may term as “yood salaries,” such as the government pays, whose pay day is regular and hard times of business never reach them. Yet such few of them seem to think about a rainy day, No man's po- sition is sure. Sickness and many other obstacles may claim his job at any time. Save a portion for the rainy day, which will surely come.

Allen and the Lincoln Institute Glee Club and Orchestra which will give St. Louisians a musical treat at St. Paul Chapel Thursday night, April 29. The Glee Club and Orchestra will be under the direction of four teachers of the musical department and President Allen will talk on the illustrated slides and "movies" giving the citizens of St. Louis the first opportunity to know of the magnitude and scope of its own splendid seat of learning, just a few hours' ride from the city at the state's capital. The last legislature appropriated upwards of $150,000 for the maintenance of this institution, which has sent out more than 500 graduates since its establishment by Negro soldiers at the close of the Civil War. The auditorium of the church will be gay with the school's colors, and the occasion is to serve as not only a reunion of the local Alumni, but of all former students of the institution who will occupy a reserved section. "One sad year has passed away, And time brings no relief; Son, we miss you more and more, With sad and bitter grief. Peaceful be your sleep, dear brother, 'Tis sweet to breath your name; In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same." At last Monday night's meeting fifty or more members of the Alumni and former student planned to meet at St. Paul Chapel Sunday at 3:00 p. m. to complete arrangements for the "Lincoln Night." Every former student is expected to be present. No admission will be charged, the public is invited. Thursday night, April 29, at 8:30 sharp. Everyone Can Dance At The Dreamland Ball Everybody will get a chance to dance to their heart's content at the Dreamland Ball Monday night. May 10.

Hair Culture Oxford College RICHARD CLAY ELECTRICAL ENGINEER. Electric Wiring, Old and New Houses, Repairing. Dear Madam: 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. 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 in 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 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. I have seven patrons who are taking the full course of treatments; they are perfectly satisfied with the treatments. Says your representation of different articles just as represented. I have a gentleman patient, who has ring-worms in face, I have been treating him two weeks and have taken all out of face excepting one. I feel that I am in a growing and prosperous business. Your chemicals are wonderful, and I am more anxious to go on and do everything for the future success of your business and my growth. Dear Sir:— I can say, truthfully, that I have seen a great many who have had treatments from others. firms, but none to equal the Oxford treatments. Had I taken some other course of hair treatment as many of my friends wanted me to, and afterward seen the work of your course, I would have been very jealous. Your treatment does just what it says it will do, and to be without it I would miss the very pride of womanhood. So many of my friends are wonderfully surprised since they have seen my work, and say they mean to take the Oxford Course of Hair Culture. One or two ladies that are having treatments from other agents have already said they were going to take the Oxford treatment of me and buy some of the oils. It works like a charm.

My friends are always glad to hear of me making a new order; it is doing a wonderful work on some heads I deal with. I am compelled to say the Oxford hair preparations are among the best on the market, as you would certainly have heard from me in case your course of treating the scalp had not pleased or helped me. I think it no more than fair to let you know that the opposite is the case. Now, when I say that I am pleased with all that came to me from you, I am speaking the sentiments of my friends, for those that have received treatments assist me greatly in advertising my work.

BASE BALL GIANTS HAVE BIG CROWD AT FIRST GAME 4,300 Persons See Charley Mills Fast Team Defeat The Belleville Maroons Giants Are Terrific Sluggers. Webster and Lyons Make Home Runs. Pitchers Work Well According to official report, 4,300 persons passed through the turnstiles at Kuebler's Park last Sunday to witness the opening of the Giants' baseball season. The Giants proved themselves terrific sluggers. The Belleville boys were no match for Mills' fast team and when the game was over had been humiliated to the tune of 14 to 3. Music and flowers featured in the celebration. The attaches were in-uniform, and everything savored of major league doings. Williams, who pitched the first four innings for the Giants did not allow a hit. Johnson allowed three hits in four innings, permitting the Maroons to gather their three runs. Clyson pitched the last inning and did not allow a hit. Webster and Lyons made home runs, Webster getting two. Dr. C. H. Phillips, Jr., uncoorked a wild throw in pitching the first ball of the season. Robert L. Jones, retiring umpire, officiated with Healy in the first half inning. He was succeeded by Mattjoy, the new umpire, who made good. Captain Dick Wallace was presented with a bouquet of flowers. The crowd was in holiday attire and overflowed into the field. The Giants' schedule is made up until well into the summer and will include all the strongest white and colored teams in the country. Next Sunday at 3 p.m. the Field-Lippman's will be their opponents. A hard game is expected. The following is the score of last Sunday's game. Maroons 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 — 3 3 6 Giants ..... 3 0 0 4 4 0 0 3 x—14 15 3 Batteries—Hodge, Estell and Walter Williams, Johnson, Clyson and Webster. Umpires—Healy and Mattjoy. AT THE COMET Saturday night, April 24, we will show the first drama in a series of 12 on vital questions of life, "The Price of Fame" being the first title. The Movie Theater is getting fatted up for its summer run. Ten ceiling and wall fans have been installed, making the place cool, comfortable and well ventilated. Manager "Tommie" James is wide awake. He is continually improving the quality of his photo-plays, as well as caring for the comfort of his patrons. Saturday, this theater will show "Americano," a two-part thriller on the Mexican war. Sunday, "The Greater Barrier," an Indian picture, will be shown. BIG STOCK COMPANY PASSES THROUGH ST. LOUIS The Billy King Theatrical Stock Company, largest of its kind in the country, passed through here Wednesday, en route to Kansas City from Baltimore. The company included several well-known performers who have appeared, in the past, at the Booker Washington Theatre. They were the guests of Mr. Turpin, at the first show Wednesday evening, and left the city at 9 P. M.

Broadway THE GARDEN WILL OPEN NEXT SUNDAY Fineest Open Air Theater West of New York City; Will Show First Run Photoplays New Management Will Give Its Patrons the Best that There Is In Moving Pictures Alladin and his wonderful lamp could learn a few things if they were to pay a visit to 2120 Market St. where formerly existed the People's Airdome. The place has undergone such a remarkable change under the direction of the new owner, Mr. W. H. King, former editor of the Central Afro-American, that hardly a passerby fails to pause long enough to comment upon the transformation. What formerly was an exit, has been remodeled and made into a beautiful entrance with a wide and roomy lobby; the ground on the inside, has been carefully graded, packed and rolled and a person sitting in any part of the amphitheater, will be able to see the moving picture screen without an obstructed view. New benches have been installed and the lighting system promises to rival many of the swell west end places which cost thousands of dollars to construct. Mr. King has had a large force of skilled workmen busy for the past ten days getting things in shape for the opening; the superintendent, Mr T. W. Jennison, has worked a marvelous change on the interior, all with an eye single to the comfort of the patrons. Arrangements have been completed for a first run picture service and those who visit The Garden (as the place is now called), will have an opportunity to view pictures that have never been shown on the screen in this city before. The opening will be Sunday, April 24. ANOTHER GOOD SHOW AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THIS Another high class show is being offered the Booker Washington patrons this week. Davis and Davis have a witty line of talk with funny and catchy jokes. Sing and dance well and go strong. Mahatma, a most wonderful artist in mental telepathy, does many mysterious things. He does his work heavily blind-folded. Shoots at a target and hits the "bull's eye," finds articles he throws in the audience; describes people he touches and after permitting a number of persons to write questions on slips of paper, burns the papers and then answers the questions after calling the name of the writer. He should be seen. Braxton and Nugent, a male team have a comical act of eccentric dancing and up-to-date songs and jokes. They are making a hit this week. Turpin's Artists, in "Patsy Bolliver's School Days," are the one big scream, as usual. Tim Moore, as Patsy; Bowman, as the teacher; Mrs. Moore, Miss Burnett, Hambone Jones and others as scholars; all play their parts well and keep up a riot from beginning to end. Two song numbers are included.

Lady Attendant. Weak Mediums Developed. NOTE.—Those calling for perilous and frivolous persons are only wasting time calling on Prof. Gladstone. Serangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the renowned psychic schools of Egypt, India and Europe. It seems, indeed, as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—the great beyond—across the dark chasm which separates the human body from the fitting soul—and that which is to be told.
