RIOT A NATIONAL DISGRACE NEGROES DID NOT START TROUBLE Outbreak Caused By White Men In Automobile Shooting Into Negro Homes Sunday Night. Policemen Mistaken For Rioters Are Slain. Friday morning July 6, the East St. Louis situation, so far as the riot is concerned, seems to be quiet. No further racial trouble is expected. Lawyer N. W. Parden and city detective James Hardiman. Negroes are under arrest charged with neglect of duty. No other state, or city, officials have been arrested: A guardman killed a white man last night, who failed to halt when commanded to do so. The entire country has been aroused to a sense of shame and pity by the magnitude of the national disgrace enacted by the blood-thirsty rioters in East St. Louis Monday, July 2. to such depths of savagery and committed such atrocious crimes. The statements of the daily press about the cruelty to the Negroes administered by the blood-thirsty mob and the laxity of the police and militia were not exaggerated. While our reporter states that there were no less than one hundred Negro men, women and children shot, tortured and burned to death, he believes there were more, now many, no one may ever know. More than two hundred homes were destroyed, with all their contents. The scene of the destruction of life and property was not in the thickly populated district, the mob was too coward- So much has been said in the daily press about the affair, that it would be a wasted of time to review the facts in the horrible massacre were it not for the false reports made and the probable result on the minds of the people. Although the fact that Negroes were armed when the rioting was renewed has given credit to the claim that they were planning an uprising, investigation shows that arming was only for self-protection. Eye witnesses of the initial conflict last Sunday night disprove the first reports of the press. The trouble was not started by the Negroes. It dates back to the first riot on May 28. Since that time Negroes have been waylaid and beaten by white thugs, without provocation, daily. Last Sunday night a Negro was seized by a gang near the Municipal Bridge and in self-defense, he managed to get his gun and shot one of his assailants. Later in the evening, or some time after midnight, an automobile loaded with white men traversed a portion of the Colored district, speeding at a rapid rate and its occupants shooting into the homes of the residents. These shots aroused the tenants. So far as the ringing of a church bell, calling them to arms, no one claims to have heard it. The only claim is made in the daily press. The firing of shots, alone, caused the men to come out into their yards and on the streets to ascertain the trouble. Following this, another automobile came on the scene and the Negroes immediately fired upon it, thinking this was another machine with lawless occupants whose purpose was to repeat the acts of the preceding one. They, however, proved to be police officers, who were drawn to the scene by the shots fired by the occupants of the first car. One officer was killed and another wounded. The automobile shows indications of being five or six times. How many were in the crowd is uncertain, but there was no "military formation" as stated. The Negroes deny that there was any exchange of words and the report that they had said, "We don't need your protection," was only a statement that had been made by someone over a month ago and was coupled with this report to give it color. Argus Reporter On Scene A reporter for the St. Louis Argus arrived on the scene Monday afternoon and his account of the horrible carnage that was perpetrated in this great manufacturing center of the state of Lincoln, from that time until midnight, is beyond the belief of intelligent manhood. Never before in the history of the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" has humanity stooped to such depths of savagery and committed such atrocious crimes. The statements of the daily press about the cruelty to the Negroes administered by the blood-thirsty mob and the laxity of the police and militia were not exaggerated. While our reporter states that there were no less than one hundred Negro men, women and children shot, tortured and burned to death he believes there were more. How many, no one may ever know. More than two hundred homes were destroyed, with all their contents. The scene of the destruction of life and property was not in the thickly populated district, the mob was too cowardly to invade it, but vented its fury on isolated spots and helpless victims. It had no choice. It was as a sporting crowd, hunting for game. A black face was the game. Innocent men, women and children fleeing from their burning homes, pled for mercy, but were shot down and their bodies thrown back to be consumed by the flames. Injured men were dispatched on to death by clubbing, stoning and stamping. Dying victims were strung to poles and others thrown in the water to drown. And all of this occurred before the eyes of the police and within range of the guns of the militia, yet no effort was made to check the fury of the mob. That more whites were killed and injured than given in reports is evident from what was seen during Tuesday afternoon and night. The loss of property will be great and according to statements made to the reporter by heads of big manufacturing' concerns, many places will be compelled to close until the government will guarantee protection. Daily Press Reports Inasmuch as the public will form its opinion largely upon the daily press reports, it is advisable to state that the account of the affair as given in the final edition of the Globe-Democrat Tuesday morning, July 3, was the fairest and most accurate. Carlos F. Hurd, in the home edition of the Post-Dispatch on the same date, also gives a fair statement of the doings of the barbarous mob. Editorials in these two dailies and the St. Louis Star showed that the editors took high ground and condemned mob violence in no uncertain terms. A news item appearing in the "Sunrise Extra" of the St. Louis Republic, July 5, was biased and bore the carmarks of the yellow journalism that incites mob violence. Benefit Matinee. Mr. Turpin will give a benefit matinee at the Booker-Washington Theater, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, for the relief of East St. Louis refugees. The entire proceeds will go to the sufferers. Regular prices will be charged and a big vaudeville and picture show will be presented. Do your part by attending. ST.LOUIS.MO.,FRIDAY.JULY 6,1917. THOUSANDS LEAVE EAST ST. LOUIS CARED FOR HERE THOUSANDS LEAVE EAST ST. LOUIS CARED FOR HERE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE, LEADS IN GIVING RELIEF TO THE SUFFERERS. Red Cross, City Officials, Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A. and Hundreds of Noble Citizens of St. Louis Lead Aid, Food, Clothing and Lodging being Provided. Negroes Begged to Return. Plants Must Close if They Cannot Get Colored Help: Very Few Are Going South. Thousands of refugees have been fleeing from East St. Louis since Sunday night. The majority have crossed the river into St. Louis and hundreds went immediately to Union Station where they took trains to other cities, in most instances turning a deaf ear to the call from the south. The Big Four Railroad is taking many east to work on the company lines and several large establishments in St. Louis are offering employment. Agents of the freight houses on the East Side came over Thursday and begged the men to return, guaranteeing protection, but there was no inclination on the part of the men to risk the return at present. As fast as the refugees have arrived in St. Louis they have been taken in automobiles to the Municipal Lodging House, 110-112 S. 12th, where they are registered and vaccinated and given food and lodging. Many of them presented a most pitiful sight and their tales of suffering are heart-rending. Only a few families are intact. In most cases some member was missing and a wailing plea is constantly heard: "Will you please try to find my relative." They have lost all they possessed and many are without clothes enough to cover their bodies. Work of the N. A. A. C. P. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People took the initiative in arranging to care for the unfortunate East St. Louisans. As soon as the condition was known, the Executive Committee, through their chairman, Chas. A. Pittman, called a meeting at Pythian Hall in which a couple of hundred citizens from St. Louis and East St. Louis attended. The following committees with names of chairmen given, were appointed and immediately started to work. Information, Prof. F. L. Williams; Housing, David C. Jones; Finding and Directing, B. Lavine; Finance, Rev. W. H. Peck; Employment, Paul Moseley; Press, Herbert T. Meadows. These chairmen were given the assistance of capable and experienced men, who have never ceased in their work. So great was the undertaking that all committees were lending aid to each other without reserve. The first move was to get a central headquarters. Dr. W. P. Curtis was authorized to see Chas. Nagel, who conferred with Acting Mayor Aloc, who directed John Schmoll, director of public welfare, to open the Municipal Lodging House for the refugees. A fund was given to secure food and the management was given to the Red Cross Society. Right here, if it were possible, we would mention the names of all the noble citizens who have sacrificed everything to comfort the unfortunates, but in justice to many whose names have not been enrolled, we can only hope that this list can be secured in full for the next issue. Men and women have worked day and night, forgetting sleep and meals. All have been kind and indulgent. Director Schmoll has stayed on the scene almost constantly, offering every assistance. Chief of Police Young has been instructing his force in exercising the greatest care in handling the big crowd. Aside from the police patrols and ambulances. ```markdown ``` a large number of citizens furnished their automobiles to bring the refugees from the bridges. Some few started in to charge the unfortunates but these were soon disposed of. Among those who have donated their machines are: Chas. H. and Tom Turpin, Richard Kent, Gus Scott, Jake McAfee, Langton Harrison, Bismark Lavin, Chas. McDonald, Ernest L. Harris, J. H. Harris, Prof. and Mrs. Malone, Chas. McDonald, Miss Emma Nash, and others whose names were not obtained. George Wright also has rendered valuable assistance with his auto-hus. The ministers opened all the churches for an overflow from the lodging house, but as many of the citizens have kindly taken hundreds to their homes the churches have not been needed. The Young Women's Christian Association, under Miss Belcher, and the Y. M. C. A., led by Mr. Jones, have done noble work. Mrs. Malone and a corps of workers have been on duty at the Union Station. The Booker Washington Theater has been held in readiness to accommodate all who needed sleeping quarters and through the kindness of Jerry Renfro, and the assistance of Chief Young and Mr. Schmoll, a rest room for men has been opened at 2218 Market St., with benches from the park department. RELIEF FUNDS PAYABLE TO N. A. A. C. P. Churches to Take Up Collection Sunday For Unfortunates All persons desiring to make donations of clothing or money to be used in relieving the refugees from East St. Louis, should report same to Wm. H. Hoffman, Y. M. C. A., 2702 Lawton, or A. E. Malone, Poro College 3100 Pine Street. Nearly, all the ministers of the city, and all are requested to, will take up collections Sunday in their churches and turn same over to the Association. Refuse Drivers Donate $52.25 The City Refuse Drivers have shown their sympathy for the East St. Louis victims by raising $52.25 and distributing it among those known to be dejected. The committee consists of C. Cunningham, A. C. Cummings, C. Clements, Ed. Anderson, P. Gibbs, A. Edmonds, F. Green, Wm. Bates and J. Pirge. FREE LEGAL COUNSEL OFFERED TO NEGROES OF E. ST.

L, July 4.—Declaring that those in America who champion Germany's cause against the cause of America are guilty of moral treason, and are in fact, although not in law, moral traitors. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, in a Fourth of July address here today, pleaded for a single standard of patriotism and loyalty. The colonel preceded his remarks on the war situation with an allusion to the race riots in East St. Louis, saying the causes should be ascertained and the remedy found. "Before I make the speech I have prepared, I wish to say one word on the instant need of today; July 4. Independence Day, the day on which the nation was born and was dedicated to the cause of liberty and equal rights for all," he said. "There has just occurred in a Northern city a most hambantable tragedy. We, who live elsewhere will do well not to feel self-righteous about it, for + + + + + Dyer To Demand An Inquiry Into East Side Riot Washington, D. C., July 4.—Representative L. C. Dyer, of St. Louis, announced tonight that he would introduce in the House a resolution calling upon the President to direct the Secretary of War to send an army officer to East St. Louis to investigate conditions there and report whether the Illinois authorities were capable of protecting life and property in the event of a continuance of a recurrence of the race riots. Mr. Dyer expressed the opinion the President has the power in time of war to use the armed forces of the Federal Government to put down riots whenever the state authorities, show their inability to cope with the situation. He charged that Illinois had demonstrated it could not protect either life or property in East St. Louis, and contended the President should take control. The St. Louis Congressman said it was a disgrace that a great state like Illinois should have permitted the outrages of the last few days in East St. Louis, and asserted it was subject to the condemnation that had been heaped upon Southern states which had failed to stop lynchings. "I understand," said Mr. Dyer, "that Gen. Barry, commander of the Central Department of the Army, stood ready and stands ready to aid the Illinois authorities in preserving order in East St. Louis. He was empowered by Secretary Buxer to act immediately upon receiving a request for assistance from Gov. Lowden. The request was not made. Had it been, Federal troops would soon have stopped the rioting and would have prevented destruction of property." Mr. Dyer said his interest in the situation in East St. Louis was not partisan, but he feared if such riots were permitted they might influence like disturbances in St. Louis. "He also desired to put a stop to all outbreaks that might tend to encourage the belief abroad that the uprisings were due to the war. BRITISH COUNSEL CALLED ON It seemed for a while Tuesday that some international complications would result from the work of the East St. Louis riot when Dr. Barret, of East St. Louis, appealed to the British Council, Mr. Pearson, at St. Louis, for protection as a British subject. Mr. Pearson called Mayor Mollman and demanded protection for all British subjects otherwise the United States Government would be involved. It is stated that a special guard has been placed around Dr. Barrett's office and his automobile was placed in the city's garage for safe keeping. Dr. E. H. Gordon, a physician, with offices at 2007 Lawton, who is also a British subject was offered protection when he had a professional call to the East Side. At the same time Underfaker Green, who is a loyal American, was refused protection, being told it was dangerous, when he wanted to return home to arrange a funeral. it was produced by causes which might at any time produce just such resplits in any of the communities in which we individually dwell. There have been race riots with dreadful accompaniments of wholesale murder and arson. Pearless Inquiry Necessary. "The first necessity is that the government should use its strength to stop and to punish the violators, and once more to install the ordinary instrumentalities of Law and order, but this is not enough. The causes, moral and industrial, should be feeblelessly and thoroughly investigated, so that the primitive remedy may be found; and the investigation should blink no fact, however ugly. I reverently believe in facing truths by officially acting on the knowledge thus gained, so that when order has been restored we can establish a permanent working system of justice." The applause was loud while the speeches were being made. A plen was made for contributions to pay traveling expenses of Mts. Ida Wells Barnett to Springfield to present the resolutions to Gbs. Lowden. FORMER PROSECUTOR PERDI-NAND L. BARNETT, SEES DANGER OF BIOTS IN WINDY CITY. CONDEMNS GOV. LOW-DEN AND OTHER PUBLIC OFFICIALS FOR BIOTS DUE TO "LAXNESS OF DUTY." Special to the Argus:— Chicago, Ill., July 5.—The following is an extract of an article which appeared in the Chicago Daily Tribune, issue July 4. "Arm yourselves now with guns and pistols," said Ferdinand L. Barnett, a former assistant state's attorney, in speaking to 100 Negro men at a mass meeting held last night to protest against the riots and bloodshed in East St. Louis. The meeting took place at 3005 South State Street. "Don't buy an afensal," continued Barnett, "but get enough guns to protect yourselves. You may be victims in Chicago within a fortnight of such murders and outrages as have taken place in East St. Louis. And when trouble starts Jet us not hesitate to call upon our Negro militiamen to defend us." Condemn State Officials Barnett and A. H. Roberts, another speaker, sponsored resolutions condemning Gov. Lowden and other public officials "laxness of duty" because the rots took place, and demanding punishment of the participants in the riots. "The fact that the governor let this mob run its course is forever a black spot on the executive record of the state," said Mr. Barnett. "The officer who told the militia not to shoot should be court martialed and branded a trinator and murdered. I don't know who is to blame, but a mob is a mob, and ought to be dispersed or killed. "We are going to rectify this in some way. The 10,000,000 of our race will not stand for this massacre. "Behind an army go the guerrillas—booters, cowards and thieves. Behind this rot is the public defense council, whose culminations are written, without consulting a single Negro. They breathe the same spirit as the mob of East St. Louis did. Hold On To Your Guns. "Get guns and put them in your homes. Protect yourselves. And let no black man permit a policeman to come in and get those guns." Roberts told his audience that he hoped "god would demand 100,000 white lives in the war for each Negro slaughtered in East St. Louis." "I love my race better than my country," he shouted. "This country, under Woodrow Wilson is asking us to carry the flag of democracy to Europe. God forbid that we take across the Atlantic any of the democracy of East St. Louis." Tells Negroes to Organize L. W. Washington, another speaker, told the Negroes to organize. 12. W. Washington, another speaker, told the Negroes to organize, / "Tell the governor that every Negro in Chicago and Illinois is behind these resolutions," he said; "and if we don't get justice from him, then send them to the President of the nation." John Douglaslaugh 'old the audience to greet for similar riots in Chicago NEAR-RIOT IN CHICAGO Special to the Argus— Chiéago; Hl., July 4—A riot was narrowly averted here this morning because of an clash between a number of Negroes and whites. The trouble grew out of the killing of an aged white man by a Negro. Four Negroes are under arrest. Twenty shots were fired in the clash bbt no one was injured. }-We made it good © .

St. Louis during the past week until we feel like he who has drank of the cup of bitterness and is intoxicated from its effects. Page after page of newspaper accounts, augmented by the echos of the streets have pregnated the very air with the horrors that he innocent people of East St. Louis had to suffer at the hands of the mob. Just how the people the world over will see and judge this horrible spectacle largely depends upon the press reports and editor's comments of the St. Louis daily papers. Of course, an Aagus reporter was on the scene, took his chances of being sniped by the snipper, or hit by the many bullets, and mingled with the crowds. He saw it all. Of the press reports, the Globe-Democrat of Tuesday morning gave the fairest account of the acts of the police and the military men. The editorials in the St. Louis daily papers, for the most part, were broad, and characterize with justice and fairness. In speaking of the riot the Globe-Democrat said: The Shame of Illinois. events in East St. Louis Monday night were a disgrace to Illinois, a disgrace to America, and We can recall no event in the history of this unrelievably shameful. There have been no there have been riots not a few, to stain our one that carried to such an extent the unrest,ocracy, never a one that so tortured and about discrimination of innocence or guilt, to morge age in its violence. Impet was there made to punish crime by strangers were tortured or killed against whom he made, whose only offense was their color, he went down before the insatiate blood he most cruel of mobs.

At a time when we are enticed to make, as we say, the world safe for a people have given democracy a blow that well itself democracy is not the right of every inland and the pursuit of happiness, then in heart How can we decently and honestly proclaim American government and American pride against liberty as that of Monday night is permitted.

Eight companies of the mob but apparently no serious effort was made information of the mob or to stop its work. Reports of eyewitnesses agree as to the insane feeble attempts were made to protect the injury, but there seems to have been no attempt. We do not know who is responsible forful and lamentable failure of authority, know that some one is, or some ones are, one of Illinois cannot rest until that responsible of rioters alone will not wipe away the saint permitted the riot must be accounted for General Government should refuse to take into private who is found to have been derelict. The people of Illinois must insist, and the insult insist that this thing be probed to the state honor but national honor that is involv "The events in East St. Louis Monday night were a disgrace to that city, a disgrace to Illinois, a disgrace to America, a disgrace to humanity. We can recall no event in the history of this country so utterly and unrelievably shameful. There have been mobs, many of them, there have been riots not a few, to stain our civilization, but never a one that carried to such an extent the unreasoning brutality of mobocracy, never a one that so tortured and killed and burned without discrimination of innocence or guilt, that spared neither sex nor age in its violence. "No attempt was there made to punish crime by striking at the criminal. Scores were tortured or killed against whom no charge of wrong was made, whose only offense was their color. Men, women, children went down before the insatiate blood lust of this worst and most cruel of mobs. "And this is the state of Abraham Lincoln! This in the great state whose sons poured out their blood on many battlefields that all men within the Union should be free. At the heart of the country which prides itself upon its liberty and humanity, within a hundred miles of the home and tomb of the great liberator, men of the race he saved from slavery are massacred by a lawless mob unrestrained by any authority. At a time when we are entering a tremendous war to make, as we say, the world safe for democracy, our own people have given democracy a blow that well may stagger it. For if democracy is not the right of every individual to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then in heaven's name what is it? How can we decently and honestly proclaim the superiority of American government and American principles when such a crime against liberty as that of Monday night in East St. Louis is permitted. "Yes, permitted! It was a preventable crime. There had been ample warning. There was a large and complete force on hand to maintain order. Yet the rioters were permitted to gather and go on their way of destruction. Eight companies of the state militia were there, but apparently no serious effort was made either to prevent the formation of the mob or to stop its work after it was formed. Reports of eyewitnesses agree as to the inaction of the militia. Some feeble attempts were made to protect the objects of the mob's fury, but there seems to have been no attempt whatever to maintain order. We do not know who is responsible for this most disgraceful and lamentable failure of authority and power. But we do know that some one is, or some ones are, responsible, and the State of Illinois cannot rest until that responsibility is fixed. Punishment of rioters alone will not wipe away the shame. The blunder that permitted the riot must be accounted for. And, finally the Federal Government should refuse to take into its service any officer or private who is found to have been derelict in his duty in this crisis. The people of Illinois must insist,' and the people of America will insist that this thing be probed to the bottom, for it is not only state honor but national honor that is involved." ST.

The East St. Louis Murders—"Law, order and governmental authority, were trampled under the feet of a murderous mob in East St. Louis Monday, to the shameful disgrace of the city and State. "Scores of Negro men, women and children were killed or beaten and hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property was destroyed without apparent effort to check the violence of the mob on the part of the police force and companies of the national guard sent to the city to maintain order and enforce the laws of the State. "Either from terror or sympathy with the mob, the police did nothing to check the mobs violence, but why were the forces of the national guard inactive until the mob had done its bloody work? Why was there not a bullet nor bayonet used against the mob which freely used torch, club and bullet against Negroes, regardless of age or sex or character?

Dickson is quoted as saying that the guard accomplished the purpose for which it was sent by arresting several hundred of the mob without the use of bullets or bayonets and if the guardsmen had used bullets and bayonets there would have been wholesale killings. "But there was wholesale killings and wholesale burning of property. The mob did the killing in defiance of the law, when, if any killing was done, it should have been done in enforcement of law by the soldiers and police. "Why was the mob permitted to collect and begin its work? The critical time to stop the disorder was in the beginning. Having failed to check the gathering of the mob, why were not its members shot down when they began to kill Negroes? Better that a thousand lawless murders be killed in support of law and orderly government than that one citizen be killed by a lawless mob. The failure of the soldiers sent to sustain law and order and to use force for that purpose did not prevent bloodshed. It merely encouraged murder and arson. "It is hardly worth while to question the authorities of East St. Louis. They have failed utterly in their duty, for well-known causes. They have known of the gathering storm without taking effective steps to check it. They have never, except in spasmodic temporary efforts, enforced the laws. The bloody mob work of the disorderly elements of the city is the culmination of a long reign of lawlessness. Lawlessness and discrimination in law enforcement, have been the foundation of political power in East St. Louis for years. The lawless element has long been the masters of governmental authority and used their license without fear of restraint. "The State of Illinois, however, is responsible for consequences of Monday's outbreak. It assumed responsibility when Illinois guardsmen were sent to East St. Louis to maintain law and order. The State should inquire into the conduct of the officers in charge of the State's forces and hold every man guilty of failure to do his duty to strict accountability. This much, with the prosecution of the mob leaders, must be done for the future of civilization and law in the State. "Meanwhile we indulge the hope that Monday's lesson will be effective to prevent further mob violence. Hereafter, at least, neither false humanity nor political weakness should restrain soldiers sent to sustain law and order from using bullets and bayonets on murderous mobs or individuals."

Rey, Shaw expressed his appreciation, in greeting such a great crowd of members and friends on his return for an eight year dash. He said he regarded the greeting of that large audience on his return for eight years as one of the highest compliments of his ministry. After telling of his trip to Kansas City and the success of the great Missouri Conference, he also related his splendid trip to the Western New York Conference.

The amazing progress of the world is well illustrated by her life. The first steamship did not cross the Atlantic until she was old enough to go to school. Men still went to war on horseback or walked. There was no railroad, telephone, telegraph, airships, airplane or phonograph. She was past threescore before she saw an electric light. She was beyond fourscore before any of us rode in an automobile. When she was a girl asphalt paving was unknown. She was a woman long before anybody dreamed of an elevator. At her birth, Cooper had not written his first Leatherstocking story. The very oldest of that coterie of renowned authors, including Emergen, Mrs. Stowe, Hawthorne and Whittier, were only children when she was born. Rice Member of Grass Family. Rice is a member of the grass family, and there are numerous varieties cultivated throughout the world.

LONG HAIR THAT IS SOFT, SMOOTH AND GLOSSY. LONG HAIR THAT IS SOFT, SMOOTH AND GLOSSY. 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 25s cach, or will be sent direct by Seeby Drug Co., 79 E. 130th St., New York City, on receipt of price. Write for sample of QUINADE, mentioning the name of this paper.—Advt. POULTRY Especially valuable is wheat bran for feeding poultry when used in combination with cut clover or cut alfalfa. Lime is essential to poultry, particularly during the laying season, and sufficient quantities must be fed for the making of the shell of an egg. Foods rich in lime, are bones and clovers, as well as bran and middlings, and the safe plan is to feed as large a variety of foods as is possible. Never depend entirely on oyster shells as a source for furnishing lime to poultry, as the percentage of soluble lime from the shells is very small, indied. Grain foods are poorest in lime substances, containing only about one pound of lime to the thousand pounds, while white and red clovers will average from 25 to 30 pounds to the 1,000 pounds. When feeding fowls for eggs, endeavor to equalize the food and provide the fowls with foods in proportion for obtaining the desired result. When poultry houses have open fronts with other sides closed to prevent draughts, there is no other or better ventilation needed for the fowls. Poultry, bees and orchards are winning combinations to play to when one has the time and opportunity to do so.

KETCHUM Director of Practical Work Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT-For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come—I Cor. 11:28. The Lord's Supper is like a double- fingered signboard in that it points in two directions; backward to the Cross of Christ, and forward to his coming again. This solemn service should ever remind us of the blessed fact that he is coming again. PETER H. As we partake of the Lord's Supper, we are by faith to look back to Calvary where Christ's blood was shed for the remission of sin and his body broken for us; we are also by faith to look forward to his blessed appearing. It is the latter fact that is brought to our minds by the phrase "till he come." By it, we are led to understand that as our Lord once came and was here upon this earth, so he is to come a second time. His own Word gives us the promise of his return. Speaking to his disciples about his coming departure he said: "And, if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there he meant his own personal return and not the coming of the Holy Spirit. Whenever our Lord spoke about the coming of the Holy Spirit, he always referred to it in such a way that there could be no confusing of that event with his own coming. And we know that long after the advent of the Holy Spirit, John the evangelist on the island of Patmos heard again from our Lord the promise of his return. The word of the Lord to him was "Surely. I come quickly," and the heart of the apostle responded "Amen. Even so come Lord Jesus." (Rev. 22:20). Waiting for Jesus. In the Church at Thessalonica we read of Christians who "turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; and to wait for his son from heaven." (I Thess. 1.9:10.) Evidently from this, as well as from other Scriptures, it was not the Holy Spirit for whom they waited, for he had come; or for anyone else. It was for the Lord Jesus Christ himself, and they waited for him to come from heaven. With this agrees the promise of the two men in white spoken to the disciples of our Lord at the time of his ascension: "Ye men of Gallilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so, come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." (Acts 1:11.) It is then from heaven, into which our Lord ascended that he is to come, and it is he himself for whom we are to look, and not for another. Neither 'did our Lord, mean the death of the believer, when he spoke of his coming again. At death, the believer departs to be with the Lord. It was Paul, who having had word concerning his decease, said: "The time of my departure is at hand." At the coming of Christ, the Lord himself returns to the earth and the believers shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Then, after an interval of time they shall come with the Lord when he comes in all the glory of the father and his holy angels. There are thus two parts to the second coming of Christ; his coming for the believers, and his coming with the believers. First Thessalonians refers to the first part, while the second Thessalonians tells of the second part of his coming. What the Coming of Jesus Means. One has only to read the word of our Lord to Peter after his resurrection to know that by the coming of Christ is not meant the death of the believer. In response to Peter's question concerning John, "What shall this man do?" the risen Lord said, "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?" "Then," adds the evangelist, "went this saying abroad among the brethren that that discipline should not die: Yet Jesus said not unto him. He shall not die;' but, 'if I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?'" (Jno. 21:21-23). Here you see is a clear distinction made between death and the coming of Christ. In that once famous, but now almost forgotten book "The Life of Jesus" the author, David Friedrich Strauss, refers to the frequency with which our Lord speaks of his second coming. He uses, this as an argument against the credibility of the Gospel narrative because he says a dead man cannot come back to earth. This argument a little child who knows anything of the truth can easily controvert, for it is not whether a dead man can come back to earth, but whether the Son of God, who rose from the dead, can fulfill his oft-repeated promise: "I am coming." Yes, he is coming back again and the Lord's Supper is a token of this fact. Already there are forelegams of that day. The evening red is upon the western horison. "For yet a little while and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry" (Heb. 10: 57.) Are you ready? (BY R. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JULY 8 AHAZ, THE FAITHLESS KING. LESSON TEXT-II Chron. 28:1-5, 20:27. GOLDEN TEXT-Without faith it is impossible to please him.-Heb. 11:6. LESSON TEXT-II Chron. 20:1-12. Ahaz reigned sixteen years from about 739 to 723 B.C. over the kingdom of Judah, its capital being in Jerusalem. The kingdom was nearing its end, and was destroyed within a few years after the death of Ahaz. His character presents many interesting questions for discussion; the character of his reign, the wealth and prosperity of his father and grandfather, the development of his character from the home wherein he originated, why a nation can be successful and not be righteous or virtuous, that is, outwardly successful, and the application of these questions to our present-day political and commercial lives. I. Ahaz, the Ruler, (vv. 1-5). The character of Ahaz is not to be admired. He played a prominent and evil part in the history of the Kingdom of Judah. We find his name recorded among the Syrian inscriptions of the year 732 B.C. the Hebrew historian having dropped the prefix "Jeho" from his name. The full name indicates that he had "grasped Jehovah," yet he was untrue to his name. The historian says "he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord." This puts it mildly, but indeed few of the kings of Judah did otherwise, and he patterned his conduct not after the good model of his father, but the thoroughly bad conduct of the kings of the northern nation. Israel. He was but twenty years of age when he took the throne, but had already entered upon a course of action opposed to that of his father. II. Ahaz Ruined. The choice lay before him of following in the steps of his grandfather Uzziah and his father Jotham (II Chron. 1:10). He chose to defy God, openly disobeyed him and was disloyal to his God and his country, walking in the ways of the kings of Israel, (v. 2), burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen, (v. 3), made molten images of Baal, (v. 2), and spread that worship into the high places on the hills and under every green tree (v. 4), made sacrilegious use of the temple's treasury, and was dishonest as well as profane. He trusted Baalim more than he trusted God. III. Ahaz Rebuked. God did not allow him to pursue his course of action without protest. When the children of good men go wrong, there is no measuring the extent of deprivation to which they will sink. Nevertheless, God was opposed and tried to save the young man and the nation. God used the king of Syria as one agency for rebukeing this mad young man. He carried away great multitudes captive, one hundred and twenty thousand in one day (v. 6), and "two hundred thousand women, sons and daughters" (v. 8) at another date. Ahaz himself was filled with terror at the great calamity that overtook him. (Isa. 7:2). While he received temporary help (II Kings 16: 9, 10), he received ultimately ruin from the king of Assyria, for he became a vassal and was summoned to Damascus to pay homage to king, as appears from the account II Kings 16: 7, 9, and also from the Assyrian inscription, above referred to. Other enemies also attacked him—Domites from the southeast carried away captives, and the Phillistines from the southwest invaded the cities of the low plains, south of Judah, and took possession of them (vv. 17:19) and the army of the Assyrian, which Ahaz led to rob and profane the temple and its treasures. In order to buy them off (v. 22:24), completed the ruin of his nation. Ahak was forced to pay a heavy tribute to the Assyrian king (v. 21), and got no help for his outlaw. He put his trust in an arm of flesh instead of in the mighty arm of God, which brought upon him the curse that always comes to those who trust in man (Jer. 17:5, 6). There is a blessing which always awaits those who trust in Jehovah (Jer. 17:7, 8). The wise man turns to God not in the time of his distress but at all times. Instead of sacrificing to the God who saved his father and who would save him, Ahaz sacrificed to the god "which smote him." His defiance knew no bounds (v. 24). He seemed to have dabbled in every known form of false worship, thereby "provoking to anger the Lord God of his fathers" (II Kings 29:11, 12). God is long-suffering to those who wander from him, but there comes an end to his patience (II Peter 3:9, 10). IV. The Reverse Picture. There are several problems to be solved as we view this picture, for it is a story of real life, not only of the early times but is being repeated even today and in this country. (1) Men will reap that which they sow. One cannot sow wild oats and reap the fruits of righteousness. (2) Jehovah places righteousness above security of prosperity. (3) God's purposes are for the uplift and the making of the nation and the individual better. God never does evil that good may come out of it.

AMUSEMENTS AND SPORT By H. T. M. THEATRES THE BOOKER WASHINGTON SHOW An all round good vaudeville show is on the bill at the Booker Washington this week. Edgar Martin opens with a couple of good songs and a few lines of comedy monologue. Cornish and Butler offer a highly entertaining act. Butler has a rich tenor voice and his sentimental song "The Sunshine of Your Smile," goes well. The buck dancing of Cornish just about wins the blue ribbon on all such exhibitions here. He uses both feet with equal cleverness and executes a bewildering number of difficult and original steps. Bessie LaHelle holds up her part of the program with three excellent song numbers. She possesses a soft sweet contralto voice and her efforts are well appreciated. Hudgins and Bumbray, in a revised version of "The Store Keeper and the Salshadow," get a lot of fun out of the efforts of the lady to extract an order from the man. Hudgins makes a hit with his vamp antics and Charlie Chaplin imitations. Miss Bumbray's "Paradise Blues," scores nicely and the team closes the show with a song and prance "Darktown Stratters' Ball," amid much applause. The war pictures started off Wednesday with an overflow crowd of anxious patrons. These pictures led to most thrilling climaxes on the western front as successive numbers are shown. The next will appear Wednesday, July 11, and others on successive Wednesdays until seven sets are shown. All proceeds of the benefit matinee at the Booker Washington Theater Saturday at 2 p.m. will go to the relief of the East St. Louis refugees. Regular prices. Big show. Do your "bit." NEXT WEEK Jones and James, the realistic comedians and singers who appeared here recently and made such a big hit in "The Migrators," will return to the Booker Washington next week, in a new act. Others on the bill will be, Anna Holt, the sweet voiced soprano; McNeil and McNeil, man and woman; Green and Bailey, a comedy riot. The second installment of the Official War Pictures will be shown on Wednesday night. A. U. K. AND D. OF A.

Another series of thrills in the photo play line will start at the Booker Washington Theatre, Monday July 30, when the first episode of "The Gray Ghost" will be shown. This play is taken from the famous Saturday Evening Post serial story, "Loot." It is full of enthralling situations, gripping scenes, marvelous action of extraordinary swiftness, and punches galore. Its startling scenes and intensely dramatic incidents lead up to a tremendous climax, that holds the audience spellbound. Mr. Torpin expects the new serial to be as popular as "The Voice On The Wire," which is breaking all records. Yes, you can phone me at the Booker Washington Theater, or I will call you up. The number is Bomont 2208. Bogg's New Cafe Boog's new Cafe, at 2901 Lawton, opened last Monday night; to a large and appreciative patronage.

When we accuse a man of being afraid to do something, we frequently say he has "cold feet," but few realize the actual physiological connection which exists between fear and the tem- perature of the feet. There is, however, a very definite and good reason why the expression "cold feet" came to be connected with the emotion of fear. Worry and fear are very closely allied in their general meaning and their effect on human beings. Fear is an exaggerated form of worry. Of all the physical ills which we needlessly and unconsciously bring upon ourselves the most are doubtless caused by worry. Hurrying through our daily tanks and pleasures at breathless speed is bad enough, but to worry about future ills is far worse. It is well enough to look into the future and provide to our best ability against misfortunes; but when this foresight amounts to seeing only the phantoms in our path, it is nothing short of slow suicide. Worry and fear have a very detrimental action upon certain glands of internal secretion which control our health and pulse. Physicians are fast accumulating important data to measure and induce the healthy action of these glands, among which the thyroid is one of the most important. But it seems impossible to hope for any remedy that will repair all the harm worry can do these glands. The heart action becomes irregular and intermittent when you worry; all the symptoms of heart disease appear; the respiration is repressed; the entire digestive tract becomes paralyzed for a time, and the circulation of blood to the extremities diminishes. The hands and feet become actually cold to the touch. To tell a man that he has "cold feet" amounts to telling him that he lacks courage to take a certain step which he thinks he would like or ought to take. In consideration of the subject he undergoes a nervous strain known as worry and this actually causes a physical coldness of the extremities. Wise and Otherwise. For that tired feeling take a street car. Grown people tire of their own toys just as children do. Being a lucky animal, the camel never has to hump itself. When a busy man has leisure he always does some other kind of work. Some people spend a lot of time in explaining things they know nothing about. By careful observation you will notice that wealth brings happiness—as often as poverty. Perhaps the reason a woman's work is never done is because she employs a domestic to do it. Political orators talk and talk, but the bright-faced girl on the silver dollar isn't saying a word. Why Lay It on Dad? The Detroit Free Press defines a pessimist as "a son of the man who didn't believe there was any such thing as electricity." A lot of people crow about how exceedingly interesting real life is, but the fact is real life isn't half as thrilling as real life.—Atticson Globe. Dreaming With a Purpose "Oh, he's only a dreamer." This sentence is often spoken in derision of some young man or woman whose visions appear impossible to those who consider, themselves more, practical. Yet the progress of the world is only the working out of the visions of dreamers. Joseph was called a dreamer. His dreams were prophetic of the service he was to render, not only to his family, but to the civilization of his day. But his brothers misunderstood his dreams, perhaps understood as little as did he himself at the time, and because they could not understand they hated him for having dreams and placed him in the way of realization by attempting to get rid of him, says the Christian Herald. Dreaming is the most worthwhile of youthful occupations, if it is dreaming with a purpose. Idle dreams that carry no inspiration to action are worse than useless. But dreams that include a purpose shape the destinies of men and women. The young Garfield, treading the tow-path, dreamed of education and of leadership, and attained both. In every school and college of the country young men and women are held to their tasks by the glorious vision of what they intend to be and to do, and every year those who have remained true to their visions are making good in the pulpit and press, in business and on the far-flung battle line, where Christianity is writing liberty and love into the constitutions of ancient heathendoms. --- Are carefully selected and presented properly at great expense with our famous $7,000 Orchestration, equal to 9 pieces of good orchestra, including a pipe organ: Refined surroundings and goose order.
