NEGROES WANT SIXTH MISSOURI Young Colored Men Loyal To Their Country And Anxious To Avoid the Taint Of Conscription Appeal To The Governor To Give Them a National Guard Regiment. VOL. VI. NO. 19 SEVENT War Department Made For Draft, May NEGROES SIXTH N Young Colored Men Lo And Anxious To Av scription Appeal T Give Them a Nation According to the press dispatches from Washington, seventy thousand men are wanted to volunteer their service for the regular army. Every effort is being made to facilitate matters in getting this number under arms at as early a date as possible. It is also stated it is the desire of the War Department that these men should be single and between the ages of eight ten and forty; should have no dependents, and who are not engaged in professions, business or trades vitally necessary to the prosecution of the war. The recruits enlisting under this call will receive thirty dollars a month in addition to clothing, food, medical attention and educational advantages. Owing to the fact the conscription ages are from twenty-one to thirty inclusive, this call seems to deny the Negro the right to volunteer his services. Since the four Negro regiments in the regular army have been filled, and these seventy thousand men are to be raised before the conscripts are selected, it is evident the Negro is not included in this call. Draft July Fourth It was the plan of the army officials to fix July first as the day for actual drafting of the men who were conscripted June fifth, but owing to the amount of work involved and details to be arranged, the date has been postponed to July fourth. If on that day Negroes are drafted in the service, they will not have been given a chance to volunteer. Jews Resent Discrimination In their quest for recruits for the Fifth Missouri Regiment, a meeting was arranged to be held at Temple Shaare Emeth. This meeting was designated by the promoters as a "Jewish Rally." Rabbi Sales resented the designating of the meeting as a "Jewish Rally," saying that it was discriminating and leaves the impression that the Jewish young men were slackers, and that extraordinary efforts were necessary to get-them to enlist. The leading Jews of the city who were scheduled to speak at this meeting found excuses to be absent. Among those were Louis P. Aloe, President of the Board of Aldermen of this city; Rabbi Harrison of Temple Israel, and Dr. Sales himself. The meeting was a flat failure, there being only about thirty-five present, most of whom were women and children, and no recruits were secured. This is considered a "Black Eye" to those who are trying to carry racial prejudices and discriminations into the army. WANT - NEGRO NATIONAL GUARD Negroes throughout the state of Missouri have become much disturbed since the publication in the Argus last week of the article calling attention to the fact that 200,000 young Colored men, subjected to draft, were being denied the right to offer their service like other men. They feel keenly the taint of conscription, which will never record the honor of patriotism. White men have been offered an opportunity to volunteer for all branches of the service. Missouri will send to the front five regiments of National Guards, composed of loyal white sons, whose patriotism is being loudly proclaimed, but the Negroes are being denied the right. Because of this a protest has been sent up to the Governor and a request made to recommission the old 6th regiment and open it for the volunteer enlistment of young Colored men. St. Louis is anxious to do her duty. Only yesterday, the Argus was informed that more than 200 men in this city are ready for the call of honor. Will Missouri give them a chance? Will she sustain the valor of her loyal Negro citizens! These are the questions that are being asked everywhere. The time is short. It is up to the Governor to act and act promptly. ST. LOUIS BOYS ENLIST IN HILLI NOISE NATIONAL GUARD Chas. S. Stone, 4145 W. Belle; Roy Wilson, 4012 W. Belle; Douglas White, 4145 W. Belle; Walter Powers, 4250 Garfield, and Daniel Euell, 2710 Market St., all St. Louis boys, have enlisted in the Eighth Regiment, Company M, Illinois Infantry, National Guard. GOOD WORK BY N. A. A. C. P. Last week in the Court of Criminal Correction Chas. Jackson, Colored, was discharged. He had been arrested by the local officers and held for extradition to the state of Arkansas, where he was wanted for the commission of a trivial offense. A sheriff from Arkansas came and attempted to return with the prisoner to Arkansas. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through Attorney Homer G. Phillips, intercested itself in his defense and succeeded in preventing his return. The good work of the Association in this behalf as a defensive organization for the protection of the rights of the Negro is to be commended.

Walker, Chaplain; J. T. Caston, Master of Ceremonies. WORKHOUSE RIOTER MURDERED Bryan Walsh, a gangster, of 2323 Dickson Street, was shot to death in the wine room of a saloon at 2800 Locust Street Monday night. Walsh was one of the workhouse prisoners who overpowered a guard June 6, permitting another prisoher to seize a shotgun and fire at, injuring, several Negroes. It seems that Walsh was released from the workhouse June 14, although the Argus had been informed that the Circuit Attorney would issue a warrant against him on the riot case the same day. COURT JANITOR'S SALARY RAISED The salaries of the custodians of the fourteen Circuit Courts of St. Louis have been increased from $60 to $75 a month. This was made possible by a bill enacted during the last legislative session, the passage of which was secured by a temporary organization of custodians composed of John C. Ceonce, R. Edward Staten, Prank Dorsay, F. J. Brown, Henry Ferguson and Richard Dickson. ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY.JUNE 22,1917. + + + DES: MOINES, Io., June 20.—The Colored Officers training camp settled down to military routine Monday. The enrollment was 1,200, composed mostly of business and professional men. Col. C. C. Ballou of the Thirty-seventh Infantry is in command. His staff consists of regular army officers, white. Officers will be selected from the students as fast as developments warrant and the St. Louis contingent expects to give a good account of itself. The men have been organized into a regiment of fourteen companies. The camp will be expected to furnish the officers for fourteen of the sixteen regiments in the Negro division which will be drafted into the army this fall. The men are all anxious to make good and are working hard from 5:15 a. m. until 9 p. m. Sunday is the only time they will have to write to friends and relatives. The food is the best that Des Moines can furnish. Twenty-five Colored soldiers from the Philippines, who have been on duty there for several years, have arrived and will try for commissions. St. Louis forms about one-third of Company 14, which is made up Missouri and Kansas. The Y. M. C. A. has a branch on the grounds. Pride of West Elects Officers Pride of the West Lodge held a most interesting meeting on Monday eve June 78, with the membership largely represented. Among the visitors present were—A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor; B. F. Adams, Grand Lecturer; W. T. Ancel, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal; and Bro. S. P. Phillips, of Alabama. Routine business being finished, the members were entertained and inspired by an able discourse on Pythianism by the Grand Lecturer, after which the Lodge proceeded with the election of officers for the coming term, G. C. A. W. Lloyd presiding. Those elected were—Thos. Hanger, C. C.; U. S. Baker, V. C.; John Mabaley, Prelate; W. H. Goff, K. of R. and S.; W. W. Buckner, M. of E.; Forrest Duncan, M. of A.; Geo. W. Boghens, Trustee; Thos. Hanger, and W. H. Goff, Grand Representatives. The only shadow cast over the meeting was the absence of our only brother, R. H. Barton, he being confined to the hospital following a serious operation. The membership hopes for his speedy return to our midst. It is the policy of this Lodge to extend the true Pythian grasp and welcome to all visiting brothers, and especially those who are strangers among us. They will receive a most friendly reception. Come and visit us. PICNIC REPORT The Batrons' Association of Delaney School met Monday night to receive the final report of the picnic, held June 12, which was as follows: Receipts, $142.11; expenditures, $81.56, having a balance in the treasury of $60.55. This enables the Association to make the last payment on the piano which was presented to the school. MEDICAL FORUM ADOPTS FEE TABLE The St. Louis Medical Forum adopted a fee table at its meeting Tuesday. This will be printed and displayed in the offices of the physicians for protection of the medics and their patrons. Doctors Tate, Thurman, Braham and Haskins were elected to membership.

MEETING The St. Louis Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colorad People held its regular monthly meeting last Wednesday night at Lorena Presbyterian Church. Reports of the several committees showed that the association was doing some very effective work in this section of the country. It was reported that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, was coming to St. Louis soon to make a personal investigation of the recent race riot in East St. Louis. Those who are interested in the civil and political rights of the Negroes should join the association. Y.M.C.A. Work on the new Y. M. C. A. Building has commenced. On Wednesday of this week, workers of the John Hall Construction Co., to whom the contract for the erection of the new $150,000 Y. M. C. A. building was let, began to tear down the old structure at the corner of Ewing and Pine. In the heart of our district, this building will be a monument to the generous giving of our people in St. Lons and will stand there to draw and welcome the men and boys who make their souls among us. The building covers the entire lot of 130 feet fronting on Pine St., and will be four stories high, containing swimming pool, gymnasium, 100 dormitory rooms and class rooms. A fully equipped Boy's department will be one of the main features of the building. Team 17, Dr. C. H. Tarner, Capt., still leads in the fight for first place. Up to this time they have collected in $1,600.75 or 37 per cent of the amount which was subscribed by that team. This is not only the largest amount of money collected by any team, except the Campaign Committee, but is also the largest per cent held by any team. The standing of Team 18 was boasted considerably in the last week, by the meeting held by 'the railroad porters for that team. This meeting was held by the Pullman porters and was worked up by Mr. T. A. Creishaw. Taking advantage of the inspiration that will come from the beginning of the new building, the members of the Future out to increase their membership by the addition of 200 men during next week. Mr. A. E. Malone is the general chairman of the membership campaign, and he and the captains who have been chosen have decided that there will be no let up until the 200 men have been secured. ELEVATOR OPERATOR EXONERATED David Cooper, elevator operator in the Roe Building, was exonerated in Judge Rassieur's court June 11 on the charge of criminal negligence in the case of a young woman who was killed by falling down an elevator shaft recently. +++ NEGRO ASSAULTS MUTILATES AND MURDERS GIRL A most revolting crime was uncovered Monday morning when the body of a little seven-year-old girl, Pearl Irene Newbold, was found in an ash pit in the rear of 109 N. 14th St. The police soon arrested Walter Diggs, who lives at that number. Diggs made a confession, stating that the little girl met him Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock and asked him to buy her some ice cream. He did so and took her to his room. About 7 o'clock she became sleepy and asked to he down on his bed. He says he laid down with her and afterwards assaulted her, doing so repeatedly, and mutilated her with his pen knife. He stated that late in the night he found she was dead, so he took her body and placed it in the ash pit. The body was in a horrible condition when discovered and showed signs being choked and bitten. Sometimes after making the confession, Diggs implicated another, map by the name of Isane Nicols, living at 33th and Poplar. Nichols was arrested but denies being with Diggs and several witnesses corroborate his statements. It is known, however, that the two men have been associated in several petty larceny offences. Diggs shows no concern for his crime. His manner indicates a low, depraved, beastly nature, devoid of human instinct. The entire community demands he pay the extreme penalty of the law. LANE TABERNACLE NOTES Rev. Emery preached an excellent sermon last Sunday morning at Lane Tabernacle and was greeted by a large congregation. The church was filled Sunday evening, and after the inspiring sermon by Dr. Emery, Prof. Tyler rendered excellent music, which added much to the services. Rev. Smith, our pastor, is yet indispensable, but prospects are very promising for him to be with us again a short while. Dr. Emery will fill the pulpit until our pastor returns. Next Sunday is General Funds Day, and all of the members are asked to remain loyal to the occasion. The District Conference convenes at Cairo, III, next Wednesday, June 27. The delegates who will represent Lane Tabernacle Sunday school are: Miss Susie Johnson, Dr. N. O. Bryce and Mr. Arthur L. Gardner. Messrs. Junc Carter and W. H. Brown will represent the church.

White, Supreme Commander of the order, was the principal speaker. He made an excellent lecture along insurance lines. His forcible argument on the relubliness and soundness of the American Woodmen won many friends for the local camp.

Quinada, Invented by a New York Chemist, Stimulates and Nourishes The Roots of the Hair Just as a good fertilizer nourishes the soil and produces a rich crop of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy create a healthy condition of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a healthy growth. QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a registered pharmacist of over twenty-five years' experience; this is a guarantee that QUINADE is as near pharmaceutically correct as can be. The ingredients are selected with great care and nothing enters this high class preparation unless it is of the highest purity. Seeby's QINASOAP, the ideal shampoo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It should be used about every two weeks. Both articles are sold by druggists and dealers at 25c cach, or will be sent direct by Seeby Drug Co., 79 E. 130th St., New York City, on receipt of price.

Nuxated Iron to Make New Age of BeautifulWomenandVigorousIronMen Say Physicians—Quickly Puts Roses Into the Cheeks of Women and Most Astonishing Youthful Vitality Into the Veins of Men—It Often Increases the Strength and Endurance of Delicate, Nervous, "Run-Down" Folks 100 Per Cent. in Two Weeks' Time. Opinions of Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City; Dr. Howard James, Late of the Manhattan State Hospital of New York, and formerly Assistant Physician Brooklyn State Hospital, and Wm. R. Kerr, Former Health Commissioner, City of Chicago. NEW YORK, N. Y.—Since the remarkable discovery of organic iron, Nuxated Iron or "Fer Nuxate" as the French call it has taken the country by storm. It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually are taking it in this country alone. Most astonishing results are reported from its use by both physicians and laymen so much so that doctors predict that we shall soon have a new age of far more beautiful, rosy-checked women and vigorous iron men. Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author, when interviewed on this subject, said, "There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic men and women is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails and often they become weak. Iron is deposited and metabolized. When the iron goes from the blood of women the roses go from their cheeks. In the most common foods of America, the starchies, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda cracker, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, asago, farina, determined cornmeal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked, are responsible for another grave iron loss. Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful with age, to give a to old age, you should supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt. Former Health Commissioner, Wm Barr, of the City of Chicago says, "I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and experienced its health-giving, strength-building effect and in the interest of public welfare. I feel my duty to make known the results of its use. I am well just three more years and want to say that I believe my own great physical activity is largely due today to my personal use of Nuxated Iron from my own experience. I am not the remedy, that if it might be used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician in this country." Dr. E. Saier, a Boston physician who has studied both in this country and in great European medical institutions said, "As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders." "Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty and as a man, in fact a young man he really was, not outstanding his age. The secret he said, was taking iron - Nuxatid Iron had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health: at 46 he was carewned and nearly all in. Now at 60 after taking iron he was able to breathe with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without CABANY 1348 Mme.

Marytown, New York Dear Mrs. of the family, I am writing to you to inform you of the recent announcement that the Marytown Fire Department is ready to assist you in the event of a fire. it no matter how much or what you eat, your food needs, passes through you without out doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it and, as a consequence, you become weak, pale and sickly looking just like a child in life. If you are not strong enough, you owe it to yourself to make the following test. Now how long you can work on how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next, take two five-crain, tablets of ordinary nastated from three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again. If you are still weak, then dizeen of nervous run-down people who were all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely 'rid themselves of all symptoms of dyslexia liver and other troubles in front ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been given for months without obtaining any benefit. Dr. Schuyler C. Jacques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City, said, "I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication as I ordinarily do not put them in it. I have never been reminded of my duty not to mention it. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully useful aid." Dr. Howard James late of the Manhattan State Hospital of New York, and formerly Assistant Physician, Brooklyn State Hos- capital, said. "Nuxated Iron Is a most insurmountable milestone. A patient of mine remarked to me after having been on a six weeks' course of it," SAY, DOCTOR, THAT THERE, SUFFE IS LIKE MAGIC. Previous to using Nuxated Iron I had been persevering with the various mineral splits of iron for years only to find complaints of discolored teeth, disturbed digestion to up hardened teeth, etc. which I came across Nuxated Iron as an elegant ingenious preparation contain organic iron which has no destructive power on the teeth and which is readily assimilated to the blood and quickly makes its presence felt in increased vigor snap and staying power. It enriches the blood brings raises to the books of women and is an unfalling source of renewed vitality endurance and power to who bumps up to rapidly their nervous energy in the strongest stream of the great business competition of the day. NOTE: Normal iron, which is possessed and recommended above by physicians in such a variety of cases, is not available in the hospital. Iron is well known to drupe and whose good patients are solely prescribed by competent physicians in Europe or in other countries. Iron is not assimilated, does not impair the health, makes them bloody, does not upset the stomach, on the contrary, at a normal rate, does not cause anemia, does not overcrowd the stomach conditions. The manifesto that have taken care of iron is $100.00 for every single institution of the hospital take care of iron or woman under 60 who lacks iron and iron supplementation. Iron is provided they have no serious organic trouble. They take care to refrain your mother from at least double iron supplementation. Iron is provided they have no serious organic trouble. They take care to refrain your mother from at least double iron supplementation. Iron is provided they have no serious organic trouble. --- J. E. MITCHELL HERBERT T.

AFTER SCHOOL, WHAT? A nice looking group and an intelligent class of graduates received their diplomas at Sumner High School last week. The parents and friends of these pupils sat with beating hearts as they witnessed the closing exercises and saw their love ones perform certain tasks in further evidence of having finished the prescribed course laid down by the Board of Education. They finished their work, they departed for their several homes, midst compliments and congratulations; many of them having already selected the College where they expect to enter in pursuit of higher education. This is all good and well, but there are those who will meet many discouraging words. They will be told that it is of no use to try to go farther; they will be told that the sacrifice is too great. The financial problem will be magnified before them, the voice of their teacher, who had so often told them to go higher, will become faint to their ears and finally some of that class will dispair. will close their eyes to their own possibilities and write their own defeat. To the youth who may think that he cannot go farther in his or her pursuit of higher education, we will say that the world is full of those who can make or give excuses, the road on which you are to travel is crowded and competition along any line that you are able to pursue is keen. There is room at the top. There never was a greater demand for men and women who really know something. Men fully qualified to fill two and three thousand dollar positions are hard to find. The government, as well as many private institutions, are always looking for capable men and women. If there is any one in the class that graduated last week who is inclined to be satisfied, we will say again: you are the architect of your own fortune; your success or failure rests with yourself. Climb higher, there is room at the top. WHAT WILL THE GOVERNMENT DO? We told the story last week of the possibility of the Negroes who were registered June the fifth, being actually drafted into service of the United States Army, without being given a chance to volunteer their services in defense of their country. We have since that time tried to solice ourselves with the thought, and hope, that the war department at Washington would not further try to humiliate her black subjects by placing such a stigma upon them at this time. If the Negro had been given the opportunity to volunteer his services, and by his indifference or lack of interest in the safety of the nation in a crisis, refused to heed the solicitations of the government, as did all the other races, then to conscript him and draft him would have been the right and just thing for the government to do. But he has not been given that chance, he wants the same chance, of freedom in selecting any branch of the army, as other men. He does not think that the death of a sailor is too severe for him to die; he does not think that the death of a marine or aviator is too severe for him to die. According to Washington dispatchse, it is the intention of the war department to start drafting about July first, still there has been no opportunity given the many thousand men and youth of the Negro race to volunteer to do their bit. Surely somebody has made a mistake. Such discriminations on the part of the national government are painful. They cut deep, they leave a wound that is not easily healed. We had no chance to escape the conscription. We were required by law to register just as all other men in the prescribed ages. Now we want the same chance to volunteer our services as other are begged to do. WAR TALK. England facing defeat within eight months last legs, Russia talking separate peace, Mexico feeling revengeful, it seems now cen is the heaviest over the head of the United States this talk from some of the highest officiales being in this war for humanity's sake or high sense for the love of right and just Abraham Lincoln the great emancipator all the people all the time." With England facing defeat within eight months, France already on its last legs, Russia talking separate peace, Japan inactive, and Mexico feeling revengeful, it seems now certain that the war cloud is the heaviest over the head of the United States. All of this talk from some of the highest officials about the United States being in this war for humanity's sake, and on account of our high sense for the love of right and justice; reminds us of what Abraham Lincoln the great emancipator said: "You cannot fool all the people all the time."

That Diggs is irrational is borne out by the fact that he made a very meager pretense at concealing the crime and the boldness of his confession. Yet in view of the fact that he has been responsible for his acts in the past, he deserves condemnation on the par of public conscience, and the most severe penalty of the law. THE ST.

CHURCH St. Paul was well filled last Sunday with earnest worshipers. The pastor, Dr. Johnson selected for his discourse, Rom. 8:14, "For as many as are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God." His sermon was timely and listened to with much earnestness by those present and their appreciation was expressed by frequent outburst-of amens. The difference between led and pulled or driven was well defined. He showed the impossibility of being lost when led by the Holy Spirit. Twice united with the church during the day, Dr. J. W. Sexton, our former pastor was a pleasant worshiper with us Sunday morning. Visitors and strangers to the city always welcome. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH 1429 N. 12th St. Every lover of southern hospitality is cordially invited to be with us all day next Sunday in our first grand rally of the season.

The services on last Sunday were very well attended, and the sermons of both morning and night were quite fitting to the occasion. To stay away Sunday, June 24, 1917, means to regret it. Rev. D. W. Morris, Pastor. SEVEN CHURCH BAPTIST UNION Met at the El Bethel Baptist Church Monday night, June 18. The meeting was a good one. The sermon by Rev. L. E. Molton was indeed a good one.

WOMAN'S AUXILIARY TO THE SEVEN CHURCH BAPTIST UNION The women had a wonderful meeting at El Bethel Baptist Church Sunday, June 17. They are still calling for the sisters of all the Baptist churches to come and enlist in this great work. When you began to ask the question, What are these women doing? We want you to come and see, for we are doing a good work. We are trying to build a sinking fund to help the poor and needy and also the Baptist churches that need help. We want the generous public to come out to Sample Avenue Baptist Church, the second Sunday in, July to our Rally, as we mean to raise $200 on the Sunday for our treasurer.

Sinners are crowding into our ranks in large numbers to hear the powerful and instructive sermons preached by our beloved pastor, Rev. A. R. Dobbins. ST. JAMES CHURCH The auditorium and lecture room were filled to overflowing Sunday morning. The pastor was at his best and the large congregation was amply rewarded. He preached a wonderful sermon from the sixth chapter of Judges. Theme, "Patiotism as Seen in the Life of Gideon." He vividly portrayed the life and character or this mighty man of valor. The spirit of "federation" is burning in St James. A delegation of over 30 attended the meeting held at Olive Chapel, Kirkwood, last Thursday evening. On Sunday afternoon a large number of officers and members attended the Quarterly Meeting at St Peter's Church, at which time Mrs. Susie Robinson, president of the Junior Stewardess Board, answered the roll call and laid $2.15 on the table, the donation from St James.

Cheatham, one of the prominent physicians and surgeons of St. Louis, is married and living at 4302a N.

The doctor will maintain a branch office at his residence for the convenience of his patients who live in and near that locality, with hours from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Dr. Cheatham received his bachelor of arts degree in 1904 from Fisk University. During the fall of that year he entered the University of Chicago, where he did special work in Anatomy, Physiology and Biology, under Lewelys P. Barker, who now holds the chair of Internal Medicine at Johns Hopkins. During the fall of 1905 he entered Northwestern Medical School of Chicago, from which he received his degree of medicine, after four years of study. In 1909 he won an internship to Provident Hospital (of Chicago) through a competitive examination, and spent 12 months at that institution in the practice of medicine and surgery as an assistant to Drs. Daniel H. Williams, Geo. C. Hall, the late John B. Murphy, Joseph B. DeLcee and many other of Chicago's foremost men, Colored and white, in surgery and medicine. His clinical study has been in the following hospitals of Chicago: Cook County, St. Luke, Wesley, Mercy, Michael Reese, St. Bernard, Peoples and Provident. Since coming to St. Louis, Dr. Cheatham's work in medicine and surgery stands for itself, and has won his place among the many best trained and most efficient physicians and scientists of the city. His conscientious services, his realization of close application to duty and his obligation to his patients, his efficient service to all alike, his jovial disposition, his progressive ideas and continuous study, have been among the many factors responsible for his success here in St. Louis. Mrs. Cheatham is a native of Missouri, a graduate and former teacher of Lincoln Institute, and recently a teacher of Lincoln High School, of Kansas City, Mo. We wish them happiness and continued success in the future. EUREKA LODGE ELECTS OFFICERS The following officers have been elected by Eureka Lodge No. 16 K. of P.: Chas. Turner, C. C.; Thoa.

Prince, the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias closed the most successful session ever held in its history, and selected Houston for the next session. For peace and harmony, the Grand Court of Calanthe eclipsed anything in its history, and Mrs. A. D. Keys was elected for another year. It is all but decreed that she shall hold the position during her life, and no one ever aspires for it. She is considered one of the best women in Texas. The first time in the history of the order in Texas has the grand chancellor absolutely refused to succeed himself. Dr. Prince is one of the most successful presiding officers in the country, as well as one of the best physician. He was presented with a gold watch. John D. McDonald, Decorator and Paperhanger.

Diplomens in Office. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS Veteran Pittsburgh Backstop Signed by McGraw as Coach, Refuses to Become a "Hasbeen." They call him Old George Gibson. He is old as age is judged in baseball. He is just past thirty-five. When after that more than a decade of service behind the bat the Pittsburgh club gave him his unconditional, release last year. John Joseph McGraw signed him for the Giants. McGraw signed him to act as coach for his young pitchers. A big man, standing well over six feet, Gibson took on weight as the years went by in Pittsburgh, and last season was slow and fat. McGraw figured him as a coach rather than a catcher. Now 4 it looks as if Gibson will take part in many a game this summer at the Polo Grounds. He is no longer slow and fat. He is just at the weight he carried a few years back when he did so much to win a pennant for the Pirates. Conditions in Pittsburgh doubtless had a lot to do with the falling-off in Gibson's work in 1915 and 1916. The Pirates were a bad club those years and; without anything in particular to spur him on, the veteran naturally fell into careless ways. Playing with New York, Gibson sees a chance to be with another pennant winner. He was a great player just a few years back. Naturally he would not retish being merely a coach of pitchers on a club that looms up as one of the greatest machines the game has known. Hence his reluviation. The old adage that they never come back in the world of sport holds good ever most of the trail. Now and then there crops up an exception, just to prove the soundness of the rule. Such an exception is George Gibson, old George, catcher of the Giants. Popular Science. Alcohol, when pure, is greenish in color, while water is distinctly blue in shade.

Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania. Upon the health of every man, woman and child depends our national defense. Let us, therefore, stop to realize the necessity of laying the foundation for the temple of peace. PETER M. This structure must be made up of individual units strong and resistful to invasion. This strength depends largely upon assimilation of foodstuffs. Attention may be called to the fact that starchy foods are more quickly and thoroughly digested in the secretions of the glands of the mouth than in any other part of the digestive system. The digestion of starch always begins with the saliva. The proper mastication of starchy foods depends upon their being held in the mouth long enough to permeate them thoroughly with pyalin. If the starch is swallowed without being saturated in the mouth it passes on through the stomach preper into what might be called the second stomach, where its digestion is again taken up, but there is no substance like the secretions of the mouth. The expert, chemists are constantly testing the commercial substances sold as digestive agents, yet I never heard of any of them that would compare in digestive strength with the saliva of the mouth. The important lesson to maintain health in youth and old age is the proper, digestion of the starchy foods by mixing them up with the saliva in the mouth and not swallowing them down until that takes place. This will produce the chemical condition necessary for it to be taken up and circulated through the body and give strength to it along with that given by meats, beans and fats. The following represent some of the starches to be well masticated and mixed with the saliva before swallowing: Potatoes, corn, rye, hominy, rice, white bread, toast, macaroni, bananas, crackers, all cereal breakfast foods, tapioca, arrow roots, sage, buckwheat, barley and parsnips. Wise and Otherwise. A man seldom gets so full of emotion that he has no room for dinner. Possession is nine points of the law Possession is nine points of the law and the attorney's fee is the tenth. There is a beautiful statue in every block of marble, but only an expert can coax it out. When you feel like doing a foolish thing reflect that you have to live with your memory. It might be well while you are correcting your disobedient offspring to remember that you did not die young. Many a man has tried to sound the depths of a woman's love only to find that it had but two dimensions. When fortune knocks at a shiftless man's door he is usually over at a neighbor's trying to borrow something. Daf mutes are familiar with signs, but only drunken men try to shake hands with the wooden Indians in front of cigar stores. When you think that you are going to learn to love a girl remember that a little learning of that sort is a particularly dangerous thing.

Agt., 314 E. 2d St. Oklahoma City, Okla. AT THIS!! Faith Necessary and Sufficient By REV. B. B. SUTCLIFFE Of the Extension Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT-To him give all the prophets stages, that through his name recou- rer believeth in him shall receive remis- sion of sins.—Acts 10:42. This text forms the close of *reter's* armon to Cornellius. Surely he if 1930 anywhere we have the way of salvation because in Acts 11 we are told that Peter was sent to Cornellus to "tell him the words whereby he and all his house should be saved." Peter has spoken of the grace of God which sent salvation, he has spoken of the death of Christ which has purchased salva- son, he has spoken of the resurrection of Christ which insures salutation, and then he says that "whoever believeth on him shall receive omission of sins." Faith In Christ Necessary. Cornellus was a very sincere man, doing the very best he knew how, but his sincerity was not sufficient. He was something like Paul, who says "that if any man had whereof he might trust in the flesh, he more." In the second place Cornellus was a very religious man for he had conviction of sin which led him to sorrow for his sin. A reading of the tenth chapter of Acts would show he had a great desire to know the way of salvation. He was also, we are told, a man of great plenty, which showed itself in great reverence and much liberality in the way of alms giving. To crown it all he was a man given to much prayer. But his plenty, reverence, prayer or even his repentance was not sufficient to give him salvation. Sincerity of purpose and Christianity are not synonymous; religion and Christianity are not synonymous. None of these things which are so much thought of as being necessary for salvation can ever take the place of simple faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible does not say "whoosever repenteth and is reverent and prays and has a desire to be saved, or is sincere, shall find remission of sins." It does say most distinctly that "whoosever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." Faith in Christ Sufficient for Salvation. The thief upon the cross could not get down and undo what he had done, nor make restitution of any kind, nor could he come down from the cross and live a good life, but he could exercise faith in Christ, and this was sufficient for his salvation. Nicodemus had everything which would recommend him as worthy of salvation, but his morality and rectitude of character left him dead in trespasses and in sins until he exercised simple faith in Christ. When Paul speaks to the brutal Roman jailer of Philippi he says nothing of reformation of life, but tells him simply to "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thus shalt be saved." When Philip finds Nathaniel engaging in prayer, he does not tell him to pray harder or longer, but brings him to Christ. The Holy Spirit declares in Romans 4:15, "but to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." The Gospel of John has been written "that we might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, we might have life in his name." While faith in Christ is absolutely necessary for salvation, it is entirely sufficient. Faith In Christ Open to`All. Faith in Christ Open to All. Our text does not pick out any particular class which may have faith in Christ, but it uses the widest word possible and says, "whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." This wide word is used throughout all of Scripture. Isaiah says, "Ho, every one that thirsteth." John 3:16 declares, "That God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Romans 1:16 declares that the Gospel of Christ "is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth." And the Bible closes with the broad invitation for whosoever will come. No one is shut out. Faith in Christ is the simplest thing in the world. It is absolutely necessary, but wholly sufficient for salvation. Getting the Right Order. God loves to bring people out of obscurity. He cannot do it when they insist upon bringing themselves out. So take the humblest place gives God the best chance to say, "Come up high." A Christian, sending to the Sunday School Times on account of a personal experience, writes: "If you think it would be best to sign my full name—not for the cause, I mean—do not hesitate to do it. I have always in the years past signed my full name to my writings, but it matters so little, and to be little matters so much, that I have no will but his will in that, as in all things." She has things in their right order. His will is the only thing that counts; and when we are doing his will we are always "in first place." (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the 'Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1937, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JUNE 24 THE PURPOSE OF JOHN'S GOSPEL (REVIEW—READ JOHN 21:15-25.) REVIEW—Read John 21:15-25. GOLDEN TEXT—These are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. John 20:11. There are a variety of methods to be followed in reviewing the work of the past six months and to give variety. Teachers of classes, or superintendents of schools, may select one or combine several, as their judgment dictates. Of course, the easiest way is to procure a good speaker who is familiar with the Gospel of John and the lessons of the past quarter, and let him bring out in the review its most outstanding and salient features. One method would be to have one minute talks either by members of the class or persons selected from the school. Each of twelve scholars could be assigned one minute, each to have one of the lessons of the past quarter. Another good way would be to take the outstanding and significant verses from the lessons of the quarter, not the golden text, but verses which seem to emphasize the outstanding features of the six months' work. "Behold the Lamb of God," (Ch. 1:36): "We must be born again," (3:7): "Come see a man which told me all things that ever I did; is not this the Christ" (4:20): "Verily, verily I say unto you, he that hearth my word and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death unto life." (5:24). "I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; the night cometh when no man can work." Another method of roywlew would be, particularly in the adult classes, to have each lesson with its present-day emphasis. For instance, the past quarter: Lesson 1—The Christian, in his dealing with blindness. Lesson 2—Modern wonders of healing and medical missions. Lesson 3—The shepherding of church members. Lesson 4—Do we know how to give? Lession 5—Is Christ supreme in our national life? Lesson 6—Ambition and its cure. Lesson 7—The world's good springing from Christ. Lesson 8—Temperance reform. Lesson 9—The Holy Spirit in everyday life. Lesson 10—How Christ is betrayed, and denied today. Lesson 11—The uplifting power of the cross. Lesson 12—Why men believe in immortality. A good method of review would be to have someone take up each of the golden texts, announcing it in advance that pupils may be prepared for this method. The teacher would write the texts of the quarter, each on a separate piece of cardboard, and lay them face down on a table; pupils would then draw the golden texts, one at a time, and tell what the lesson is to which this text belongs, giving as full an account of the lesson as possible, the teacher helping out with questions where necessary. It will be of great value to the pupils if they can get in this review a clear outline of the main events of Christ's last weeks upon earth, covered particularly by the past quarter. There are forty standing events of the past quarters: (1) The healing of the man born blind; (2) Jesus the good Shepherd; (3) Jesus sending forth the seventy; (4) Jesus in Beren; (5) The raising of Lazarus; (6) The ten lepers healed; (7) Bartimaeus at Jericho; (8) Jesus visits Zaccheus; (9) Jesus annoted by Mary; (10) The fig tree; (11) Triumphal entry; (12) Cleining the temple; (13) Weeping over Jerusalem; (14) The widow's mite; (15) The Greeks seek Jesus; (16) Preparation for the passover; (17) Wishing the disciples' feet; (18) The Lord's supper; (19) The farewell discourse; (20) The farewell-prayer; (21) The agony in Gethsemane; (22) Judas betrays Jesus; (23) The arrest of Jesus; (24) Peter denies Jesus; (25) Jesus before Ananias; (26) Jesus before Calphas; (27) Jesus before the Sanhedrin; (28) The mocking of Jesus; (29) Jesus before Pilate; (30) Jesus before Herod; (31) Pilate condemns Jesus; (32) The sorrowful wait; (33) The crucifixion; (34) The seven last words; (35) Jesus dies; (36) Burial; (37) Resurrection; (38) Appears to Mary; (39) Appearance during the forty days; (40) The ascension. As brought out, heretofore, John sets forth the purpose of this Gospel; namely, that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing on him we might have everlasting life, eternal life in his name." (See golden text): A Suggestion. In setting forth this review, let us not as teachers and officers, overlook the opportunity we have of calling from our scholars an expression of the faith that has been born within them. (See Rom. 10:3, 10). Jesus the light of the world has power to set men free from sin and "whom the son shall make free is free, indeed." If we properly set him before our scholars, they will be made free from the slavery of sin and enter into the freedom of believers. True faith is built upon facts; those who accept and believe these facts will have everlasting life. Church Director St. James A. M. E.

THEATRES McGARR'S BAGTIME STEPPERS PRESENT GOOD SINGING AND DANCING SHOW AT BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER THIS WEEK Jules McGarr and Maggie Hill are being supported by a good singing and dancing company in their "Ragtime Steppers" at the Booker Washington Theater this week. In the opening performance Monday night the company did not live up to the excellent impression made by the principals last December, when they stood out in bold relief against crude and suggestive comedy. The performers sent hundreds of patrons away with a bad taste on account of too much vulgarity. This, however, has been mostly eliminated and the production has been acceptable the rest of the week. The program consists of an olio of vaudeville numbers. After the opening medley of choruses and dances by the company Seymour James and Mary Mary Lee Brown, do a singing and dancing turn that includes "Mississippi Cabaret," "Daddy," and "Next Week Sometime." They dispense a few jokes and dance well, especially Mr. James, whose buck dancing makes a hit. Other numbers are: "Dixie Land," a song and dance by McGarr and Hill, supported by the girls; Billy McLaurin, in one of his latest issues of the "Blues," Miss Hill, supported by a female quartette, in a song and dance; "Loving Sam From Alabama," Miss Brown does a serpentine dance with screenic effects that scores nicely and the three men do a couple of comedy turns that keep the house roaring. Other members of the company are Kittie Brown, Lovicia Langford and Lill Flemmings. The show closes with a Hawaiian song and dance, "Hoola Boola." Next Week Next week McGarr's Ragtime Steppers will present a laughable comedy entitled, "The Chinese Laundry." The phalet offers a barrel of fun in a controversy between "Won Lung" (McGarr) and "Sambo" (McLaurin). The piece will be preceded by an olio of songs, dances and comedy sketches, which will include a travesty by James and McLaurin, also an artistic posing set by Mary Lee Brown. OFFICIAL WAR PICTURES OFFICIAL WAR PICTURES Mr. Turpin has arranged to show official war pictures to the Booker Washington Theater patrons every Wednesday beginning July 4, on which date a special matinee will be given. These pictures are real, showing the actual lighting in France. They were taken on the battlefield and depict the great world-war in all of its horror. Mr. Turpin has always maintained a policy of never showing fake pictures and he positively guarantees this series to be true photos of the war between Germany and the Allies. "The Voice on the Wire" has been such a tremendous hit that Mr. Turpin contemplates repeating the serial when completed. It will be run on another night, as "The Grey Ghost" will take its place on Monday nights. Mr. Turpin is arranging for a mammoth production during K. of P. week in August. Yes, you can phone me at the Book or Washington Theater, or I will call you up. The number is Bomont 2208.
