The People'sPaper The Trade Maker VOL. VI. NO. 41 QUARTERMASTER'S DEPOT AT ST.LOUIS HAS SEGREGATION Whites Do Not Want To Even Use Same Toilet: Restaurant Has Been "Jim Crow" For Years. The latest insult to the Negro in this city is the color line which was this week drawn at the United States Arsenal, Second and Arsenal Streets, when certain water closets were set aside for the use of Colored employees, only. Until Monday practically all the New employee used the toilets in Warehouse No. 1, and the one at the staircase; so many are employed, a great deal of time has been lost with the result that the authorities decided to enlarge these facilities. Under the new order of things which will be in vogue after these closets are finished, the three on the first floor of Warehouse No. 1 will be for Colored employees only. This week Colored employees have been using one of these toilets in Warehouse No. 1, and Colored men have been very generously informed of the exclusive preparations for their comfort by a large sign on the second floor. Many of the men have voiced their protest among themselves, but no concerted action has been taken. "Jim Crow" Restaurant For a number of years, segregation has been practiced in a restaurant operated on the grounds, by private parties. White laborers, clerks, etc., have free access to the tables, but Negro employees, of whatever rank, seem to recognize a custom of long standing. The recent order is believed to be the work of some petty officer. It is not thought Lieutenant Colonel W. F. Clark, the Depot Quartermaster, has yet been apprised of the situation. In the past he has been reasonably generous toward Colored men. The situation presented at the Arsenal is one which should be remedied. The Colored men who are employed there are loyal and interested in seeing the United States win the war. The Arsenal has many German employees in responsible positions, who are given preferences over Colored men in matters of employment, yet the loyalty of the Colored men is unquestioned, while a German's ingenuity has to be traced before anyone knows which way he leans. Segregation among the civil employees of the War Department in St. Louis and all over the United States should not be tolerated. The N. A. A. C. P., should investigate and have this condition corrected. Negro Business League A. Delivering his address before the local branch of the Negro. Business League last Thursday night, Pres. A. E. Malone outlined a thorough, constructive policy for the aims of the league during the year. He pictured St. Louis as a city of opportunities and urged his hearers to take advantage of them: He told of the great work before the league and asked that every man do his duty. Quite a large number of business and professional men were present and a resolution was passed endorsing the policy as laid down by the president. The league meets the fourth Thursday in each month.

The St. Louis Argus P62 THE JANUARY GRADUATES Thursday night the members of the First Baptist Church, met at Cardinal and Bell Avenues and were introduced to their new home. That they were jubilant, no one can doubt. The home of the Old Mother Church has long outlived its usefulness. Repeated efforts have been made to secure a new location, but not until now has the congregation been able to raise a sum sufficient to make a first payment. Under the leadership of their new pastor, Rev. O. C. Maxwell, the goal has at last been reached, and the members will soon march joyfully into the modern and spacious edifice at Bell and Cardinal. All Christians will rejoice with them and suit will help to lift the burden of debt incurred by the change. The annual graduation exercises of the Summer High and the Grammar schools was observed in all except a few of the smaller schools. The number of grammar school graduates, who are now eligible to enter the high, will necessitate some changes at Summer as the school is already over crowded.

Meeting at Tuskegee, Alabama, Jan. 16, Praises Negroes for Loyalty. Advises Southern Farmers to "Stay on the Soil." Conditions are Better. The Tuskegee Negro Conference, through its twenty-seventh annual session, takes pride in the record of loyalty and patriotism made by the Negroes since America has entered the war. Notwithstanding our many hand-heaps, the Negro has given freely to the Red Cross and other war relief appeals, and this Conference voices the expression of the earnest desire of the Negro to do his full share in helping our country in the great struggle. it is so bravely making for liberty and justice. Whether on the farms, in the mines; as workers behind the line or in the trenches; we pledge ourselves to do our share. To the Negro farmers of the South this "Conference repeats what it has been saying for the past twenty-five years: "Stay on the soil, bay land, improve your farming, diversity your crops, raise and save more food stuffs and thus help the South to feed itself; make your home more comfortable so that your children will be contented and will not leave the farms. Improve your schools and give more support to your churches." Because of the unusually high prices which farm products of all varieties are bringing, farming offers greater opportunities now than ever before. During just year you have, with few exceptions, been blessed with abundant crops and with high prices for your cotton, peanuts, velvet beans, and all other products of the farm. The Conference advises, that in the midst of this prosperity, you do not waste your money. Invest in lands, buy homes, buy farm machinery so that you may do better farming, and add to the property which you already have. The Conference also urges the Negro farmers to buy stores and better live stock, especially bays and cows, in order that more butter and pork may be produced to meet the increasing demand. You can help to win this war by investing some of your surplus money in Thrift Stamps, War Certificates, and Liberty Bonds. This Conference warns our people, that in spite of the high prices of cotton which have been paid during the current year, it will be wise next year to continue to diversify, rotate, and give special attention to the planting of food crops. With reference to the farm labor situation the indications are that in the North and in the industrial centers, which are rapidly developing in the South, there is going to be an increasing demand for labor, and that efforts will be made to continue to attract a great deal of this labor from the farms of the South. To those who employ farm labor this Conference suggests, that every effort be made to keep the laborers comfortable and contented. It will be necessary to pay higher wages and to make more liberal contracts with tenants, especially in the matter of the amount of cotton or other products, which shall be paid. Tenants and farm laborers can be made contented by being provided with better living conditions, good school buildings, and longer school terms. This Conference regrets to find that there are still many communities in which the school terms for Negro children extend only three or four months. Full protection in the courts and just treatment in all dealings business and otherwise, will also help to make these tenants and laborers contented and more inclined to remain on the plantations. This Conference notes with pleasure the increasing amount of money that is being spent by states and countries to improve Negro rural schools, particularly to aid in erecting Rosewall school buildings. It is also gratifying to note how the white people of local communities and the State Legislature are appropriating money and co-operating with the Federal Government under the Smith-Lever Act, and the Smith Hughes Act to educate the Negro on the farm to make of him a more intelligent producer and a better citizen This Conference is pleased to note the increasing number of instances where representatives white and black people of various communities are coming together and are having a better understanding with reference to their common interests, and are cooperating and working out their problems, and meeting the difficulties which this world war has placed upon the South.

THE WORLD'S FINEST MUSICIAN A wedding in, which much interest is munificent and, which will be one of the most notable nuptial mid-winter affairs, will be celebrated Saturday morning at 9:30 at St. Elizabeth Church when Miss Pearle Beatrice Cass, daughter of Mr. John Cass, 4208 Cote Brilliante, will become the bride of Mr. Claborne Henry Biddle of 4308 Garfield.

The wedding plans have been as simple as possible as she is just barely out of mourning but her social activities have caused her to be honored with many showers and she has been the recipient of many harpage and useful presents. Mr. Riddle ranks high socially and has On account of the Government Fuel Order, we were compelled to postpone the Battle of Flowers. We thank those we could not possibly reach and who came out and we thank those who attended our Pop Dance Wednesday night. The very first Monday night the fuel orderites resked, we are coming back with a bigger and better Battle of Flowers that will make St. Louis sit up and take notice. Our crowd would have ranged from 600 to 1000 people. I thank the people of St. Louis for their loyal support. C. C. Cade, Supervisor, American Woodlining, Mrs. Lillian V. Morris, Pres.

Walker of a Hortense place, founder of the Ely Walker Dry Goods Company whose sons are seeking appointment of a guardian to book after his $750,000 holdings, was the payment of $10,000, to induce a St. Louis whom he disliked to move away from the city. An intimate friend of Walker's today related the incident, which he said was characteristic of the peculiar moods of Walker toward his friends—Press Report. The above article is a part of the testimony presented by Walker's two sons who are suing to have a guardian appointed for his property. I. D. Walker was the founder of the Ely Walker Dry Goods Company of St. Louis. Walker was one of the largest contributors to the United Welfare Association in its fight for the Negroes in St. Louis. His name is on the list for $5,000. It is not sure whether or not this was one of his "peculiar moods toward his friends." AMERICAN WOODMEN ACTIVITIES Camp No. 10 of which T. L.

LOUIS SOLDIER BOYS NEXT WEEK MEN AT CAMP FUNSTON WILL BE SHOWN IN THE MOVIES AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE. BEGINNING MONDAY Thousands Waiting, to See the Boys Again Before They go to France. All Who Can, Should go to the First Performances, Starting at 5:30. Delmar's Lions on Bill All at Long has been waiting anxiously for the moving pictures of our boys at Camp Funston, which will be shown at the Booker Washington Theatres for one week, beginning next Monday, Jan. 28. Judging by the thousands who were at Booker Station, to bid the boys farewell, it can be expected that the Booker Washington will be crowded at each show next week. "Boys Look Strong and Happy" The pictures were taken under the personal supervision of Mr. Charles Turpin on a cold day this month. The wind was strong, as indicated by the fluttering of the heavy overcoats worn by our soldier boys. One of the most continuous features noticeable is the apparent health and happiness of the men. The atmospheric conditions were not of the best, but the pictures are good and the features plain. They were taken by special permit from the War Department, and the men were plotted in all features permitted by the authorities. A panoramic view of the camps is shown, also a large group of St. Louis boys, iron commissioned officers from St. Louis, medical department cooks of the officers' mess, "close ups" of Lieutenant R. B. Watkins, Willie Anderson and Brother Shaughter, and the 17th ward masseur, "Key stone." Included in the formations are the following exercises and sports: Setting up "exercises," the "shimmer," boxing matches, Indian wrestling and relay race. The scenes are all taken close, so that features are discernable. Pictures Every Night The Booker Washington Theatre is not required to close on Monday and Tuesday nights. The pictures will be shown with the regular vaudeville and movie program every night next week. As the Fuel, Commissioner's order closed all the剧院 at 10 p.m., this will necessitate opening earlier. The house now opens at 5:30, and all who can make the first shows during the week should do so and avoid the rush at the later performances. LIONS IN VAUDEVILLE SHOW Delhuger's troupes of lions, real kings of the animal world, will be on the vandeville program at each show. These boasts are trained to do all kinds of tricks, and are entirely doomed under the eagle, eye of their fearless keeper. They perform in a monster cage, on the stage, and the audience is in absolutely no danger. Others on the bill will be Mack and Mack, a comedy song and dance team; Eldie Gray, celebrated singer; and during the Funston pictures, Wbh Qwslw will sing Tom Tuffin, new patriotic composition. "When Sasha Goes to France." EMMETT J. SCOTT CONGRATU LATES WATKINS THE PIANO MAN Wor Department Washington Jan 19, 1918 Mr. Charles H. Watkins, 2005 Laclede Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri. My dear Mr. Watkins: In reply to your letter of recent date, which would have been answered sooner except for the fact that I have been out of the city on an official tour of a number of camps and cantonments where colored troops are stationed, I wish to thank you for your kind words with reference to the fair and impartial attitude recently expressed by the Secretary of War to warred colored soldiers, and also for your approval of the manner in which I am attempting to discharge my duties here in the War Department as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. Our Nation and our Race, especially in the present crisis that confronts us, needs the unswerving and unfaltering confidence and loyalty of such thoughtful and patriotic men as yourself, and it is particularly gratifying to note in what unintended measure our race is rendering loyal service to this Nation. I also remember, with very great pleasure, how highly Dr. Booker T. Washington regarded you and your unique business enterprise, being (as I am told) the only colored man in the State of Missouri in the piano business, having had a successful experience of ten years in that business, and, as I am further informed, having sold in one year (1917) forty thousand dollars worth of high grade pianos and talking machines. I trust that your business success as well as your patriotic interest in your Country and your Race will be an inspiration to many others to emulate your splendid example. Sincerely yours, Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant. For quick printing call at the Argus office, 2341 Market. "PORO" IS TO THE SCALP FOOD IS TO THE BODY FORMULATED 1800 PORO HAIR GROWER MADE ONLY BY Mrs. L. R. P.

Greenwood, of Memphis, Tenn. pastor Rosie Robertson, secretary. The town clerk of Henley-on-Thames has had the name of Cooper since 1777. Whether it has always been a case of son following father is not clear, but the law firm of Cooper has always during that period supplied the town clerk, London Tit-Bits remarks. Everybody knows that the name of Hobley is one to count with in Devon, but not everybody has been a "governor"—whatever that may be—of Credition cathedral church for upward of 20 years without a break. Everybody at Hitchins knows the Hobbs family. They are the perennial postmen of the place. Their great-grandfather carried the letters long before penny postage was dreamed of and the letter-carrying business has been done by a Hobbs ever since. Parliament can supply a few such records. When the son of Lord Derby put up for a division of Liverpool it was said that it seemed to be taken for granted that when the heir of Knowsley became of age Liverpool should send him to parliament—and it did. It was said that the Newdigates, with but slight breaks, have sat for a division of Warwickshire since 1300. Quite recently F. A. Newdigate resigned his seat to become governor of Tasmania. He is the eighteenth Newdigate of one family—and there are others—who has been an M. P. Special Playing Cards Now For Subjects of the Kaiser German war enthusiasm has found vent in the banishment from Berlin of the conventional playing cards and the substitution of specially printed packs, says a writer, in which the traditional kings, queens and knaves have been superseded by portraits of war celebrities, such as, for instance, the kaiser and the crown prince, Hindenburg, Von Kluck and Tripitz. The idea is not exactly new, similar, "patriotic packs", having made their appearance in 1870-71, during the last Franco-German war. These are now valued by collectors. Many years later the kaiser had a number of so-called "royal packs" printed; from his own designs; at the German government, playing card factory at Altenburg, near Berlin. One of these, now in possession of King George, bears the portrait of his grandmother, Queen Victoria, as queen of hearts. The kaiser figures as the king of hearts, while to the pope is allotted the kingship of spades. By a pretty bit of iron the knaves are represented by four leading European statesmen, Lord Beaconsfield, Britain's then premier, being knave of clubs. Mother's Cook Book. One thing that made the bread that mother used to make so good, was the appetite the boys had. Good Things for the Boys. It takes a good deal of food to fill an ordinary growing boy, and he needs it for he is building a framework, at the same time using food to supply heat and energy for his daily activities. An active boy will digest hearty food for he burns up a large amount in play and work. Spiced Beef. Take five pounds or more depending upon the size of the family, of beef from the rump. Trim away the meat and cut slits several inches from the edge in which to pack the stuffing, made by using suet, crumbs and variegous herbs which are enjoyed, pepper, salt and a grating of nutmeg or a pinch of mace. After stuffing, rub the meat all over with salt, pepper, cloves, allspice, then wet with vinegar. Let stand over night. In the morning put into a kettle, with a cupful of water and cook slowly (very) for several hours, allowing a half hour for every pound of meat; turn it often while cooking so that the gravy will season all parts of the meat. Serve hot or sliced cold. Thicken the gravy and serve with the meat. Apple Pancake. Rub to a cream a tablespoonful each of sweet fat and sugar, add two beaten eggs, one and a half cupfuls of flour, sifted with a teaspoonful of baking powder and a cupful of chopped apples. Flavor with nutmeg or cinnamon and add milk to make a medium batter. Fry as ordinary griddle cakes and serve in an overlapping row around the platter of roast pork gr. sausage. Apple Dowdy. Rub an earthenware dish well with shortening and line with slices of bread, also spread, with a butter substitute, then fill the dish with sliced apples, sprinkle with brown sugar and a little nutmeg, turn in half a cupful each of hot water and molasses, then cover with slices of buttered bread, buttered side up. Cover the dish for the first hour of baking then uncover and bake for another hour. Serve from the baking dish, with powdered sugar and cream for a sauce. Celery and Peanut Salad. Allow half a cupful of roasted chopped peanuts to a cupful of celery, cut in inch pieces and crisped in ice water. Serve on lettuce with French dressing. A little onion juice improves this salad dressing. Nellie Maxwell Front & Front 25 East 59th Street, Chicago 9 ee. Front & Front Front, Chandler Building, Naahville office.

United Railways has bought forth quite a number and demitals of every proposition offered to rent. The officials of the company have said "Settlement" is all they want; fair to those who need to invest their earnings, both large and small, in a service corporation. They maintain that they will own their invested capital. People want more cars, better service, more service, warmer and better ventilated cars. Our administration wants the best street-car that may be found in the country. The people, the city, needs these things and the active these things. Everyone knows that these comforts and money and quite a deal of it. Wages, steel equipment and maintenance, for such service, the normal price. It certainly seems long that company can not give the kind of service the settlement is had. Are those who always oppose any advances of any kind. If a subway or elevated rail was suggested for the "Fourth City," we would go into hysteria. But the people are at a street-car is the poor man's automobile that are running the better we like it. So our most useful public service corporation is not bankers, for we are the losers after all. A question of a franchise to render a popular service to the people of the city of St. Louis, and a settlement of an accrude mill tax against the United Railways has bought forth quite a discussion on the merits and demerits of every proposition offered, as a basis for settlement. The officials of the company have maintained that "A Fair Settlement" is all they want; fair to those who have been induced to invest their earnings, both large and small, in the public service corporation. They maintain that they want only a fair return on their invested capital. The people want more cars, better service, more loops, extension service, warmer and better ventilated cars. The city administration wants the best street-car service, in St. Louis that may be found in the country. The people want these things, the city needs these things and the company is willing to give these things. Of course, everyone knows that these comforts and improvements cost money and quite a deal of it. Wages, steel and all material for equipment and maintenance, for such service is almost double the normal price. It certainly seems logical to us that the company can not give the kind of service the city needs unless a fair settlement is had. There are those who always oppose any advancements or improvements of any kind. If a subway or elevated street railway service was suggested for the "Fourth City," we guess the knockers would go into hysteria. But the people should remember that a street car is the poor man's automobile, and the more cars that are running the better we like it. So let us see to it that our most useful public service corporation is not crippled by the knockers, for we are the losers after all. THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT markable how, by order of Fuel administrator, of our industries in certain sections of the land. Following closely the above order called Fuel administrator Crossley who issued made every man woman and child know the great war.

But they soon found that the different proposition. They found that the orders were backed by the government. Order of the Army and Navy of the U. S. at their rule.

Obeded people are loyal to their flag, and they are loyal to them. We want it to ever war to sheath its glory when the Negro's rig It is remarkable how by order of Fuel administrator Garfield, the wheels of our industries in certain sections of the country were stopped. Following closely the above order came the one from our local Fuel administrator Crossley who issued drastic orders that made every man woman and child know that we too are in the great war. These orders are just a foretaste of what, no doubt the people of this country will feel before the conflict is over. Many at first thought the order a kind of joke, and viewed it somewhat in the light of the "clean up" orders issued by our police department. But they soon found that they were up against a different proposition. They found that the men who issued these orders were backed by the government. They had all the power of the Army and Navy of the U. S. at their backs to enforce their rule. Thus many of us, for the first time, realized what a government order means. There was no dodging the issue, no pleading of. State rights. Police of the cities and the county sherriffs were on the alert, saying. "The biddings of Ucle Sam must be carried out." It is wonderful to think of the power of this government even in the most minute details of small or great matters. We have a longing for our "Ucle Sam" to speak a word to the American white people in the heath of right and justice for the Colored people of the United States. It scarcely took twenty-four hours to get the American people in the harness, working and doing the things that few thought would ever happen. Likewise, if President Wilson should just say the word, lynching and burning of Colored people would cease. Discrimination in all other various departments of the government would cease. The Colored people are loyal to their flag, and they want that old flag to be loyal to them. We want it to ever wave, but do not want it to sheath its glory when the Negro's rights are at take.

William Joel Stone in the Senate the other day, reminds us of the old political tricks among the crooks who are always hollowing "watch!" "thief" and at the same time doing all the stealing themselves. Most every body knows that a house divided against itself cannot stand. The strongest argument the segregationist uses in advocating his cause is, the Colored people themselves want it. PAGE FOUR MEMBER NAT ONAL NEGRO PROB ASSOCIATION A FAIR SETTLEMENT A CASE OF VERACITY SENATOR STONE The undersigned respectfully requests you to disapprove the sentence of death imposed upon the Colored soldiers in the court martial at Fort Houston, Texas. From Maine to California the Colored people are realizing more and more the significance of the trial and death of the thirteen soldiers of the 24th U. S. Infantry, and they are doing their bit in behalf of the five men who are now in the Texas city under death sentence. TO THE PRESIDENT. WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON. The undersigned respects the sentence of death imposed court martial at Fort Houston, Date CHURCHES "Who are the upright!" This was the subject used by the pastor Sunday morning in pointing out to the congregation who the upright are. The pastor included the men and women that are constantly doing something for the uplifting of fallen humanity. We should speak good of all the people we know, continued Rev. Smith, in fact we know more good things about our acquaintances than we do bad ones. In continuing his antisocial sentiments the pastor said it was not the upright people that supported such business as this. Services were held in the Sunday School department, which was crowded, and several people were compelled to stand. Sunday evening the pastor's subject was, "Sowing Money." Those desiring good seats are advised to come early Sunday morning as services will begin promptly at 11 o'clock. Evening service, 7:45. We are performed that Mr. and Mrs. Otis Hemingway are the parents of a fine baby boy, Mrs. Hemingway, who was Mrs. Jamie Bullock was formerly our organist. Sunday School Notes Our friend, Dan Cupul continues to visit our Sunday School and capture our teachers. This time he has caught Dr. N. O. Brney, teacher of the young men's Bible class, who was married to Miss Maggie Sample last Tuesday. They have our best wishes for success and happiness. The pastor's class captured the attendance banner Sunday morning. The Morning Star class paid sick benefits to three sick members last week. Miss Grace Scott, member Morning Star class was called to "partyadeale ill," to the bedside of her brother, Mr. Hugh Scott, who died last Wednesday morning. The Literary department of the Epworth League will give a debate and query box next Wednesday evening, the one answering the most biblical questions will receive a Sunday School teacher's commentary with the lesson for one year. The subject for the debate will be: "Who Loves Hardest, Man or Woman." The woman's side will be held up by Miss Myrtle Copeland while news T. H. Edlin will lead the men. Mr. E. E. Thelpis is president of the literary department. Dr. Edward Bell is vice president. Interesting meetings will be held every Wednesday evening. WAYMAN CHAPEL 23rd and Wash Sts. "To Whom Shall I Go!" was the text from which Rev. A. M. Dobbins preached last Sunday. The question was asked by our Lord to his disciples, which was illustrated by the pastor and applied to the Christians and to the race. At 8 P. M. he preached another, excellent sermon from the book of Ecclesiastes. "Whatever thy hands find to do, do it with all thy might." The pastor has put his shoulder to the wheel and is doing a great work in this vicinity and is held as one of the leading ministers of this city. There were two accessions to the church. The Presiding Elder's Council was deferred to the 5th and 6th of February. Preaching at 11 A. M. and 8:30 P. M. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH Next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock Rev. J. P. Nichols will preach another of his famous electrical sermons: We are glad to report that the soldiers of Christ are still rallying to the colors. In spite of the rainy weather, the church has not been deserted, for the greater part of the members are forging ahead, braving all, and proving their worth. Father Yaney was with us last Sunday and at 11 o'clock, preached an splendid sermon that was enjoyed by all. Several visiting ministers were present. The pastor preached at night to a large and appreciative audience, text: "I am the Resurrection and the Life." Jno. 11:25. Visitors and strangers are cordially invited and welcomed here. Rev. D. W. Morris, pastor. EL BETHEL CHURCH The attendance at El Bethel Sunday was excellent and a very good sermon was preached by Rev. Otic on "Being Born" 1. Peter 1:23. On account of the severe weather and sickness the attendance has been poor but spiritually alive. Next Sunday is Mission Circle day. Deacon Aaron is reported seriously ill.

There were more than one hundred people - present Sunday morning when Father Clarke preached a very illuminating sermon on the Book of Jonah. This Sunday there will be Holy Communion at 7:30 a.m.; morning prayer and sermon at 11 o'clock; Sunday School and Mrs. Garnett's Bible class at 12:30 P.M. M.; the Rector's Bible, Class for men at 7:00; organ recital at 7:45 by Mr. Keeton and evening prayer at 8 o'clock. .. Sunday, Feb. 3rd will be the Festival of the Purification of St. Mary the Virgin, commonly called "Candlemas." On this occasion Father Coxe, Rectors of Trinity Church will conduct the service, as he has done for several years past. All are welcome to these services. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH All services were well attended last Sunday. The pastor, Rev. Wm. L. Perry is now engaged in preaching a series of sermons on the seven seals, which are proving, to be quite interestin, and soul-inspiring. All are welcome. The Beacon Bible class of the Sunday school will give a literary entertainment at 4353 Maist Ave., Thursday evene, Jan. 31st, at which time the officers elected for the ensuing year will be installed; also a program will be rendered. The Antioch Missionary Circle met in it, regular monthly meeting, Monday eve, Jan. 21st, at which time the Circle presented to its president, Sister Luella West, a Schofield Bible Mr. Charles H. Craven, proprietor of the Booker Washington Theatre, who went to Camp Funston recently and secured moving pictures of the Colored boys there, speaks highly of the physical condition of the St. Louis men. Mr. Turpin says they have all gained in weight, are happy, have a proud manly bearing and even the "brown skins" have rosy cheeks. Among the special features photographed by Mr. Turpin are: a wrestling match and a boxing contest. Pictures were taken of the men in various exercises. A panoramic view of the camp is shown, and though the men are scattered in different companies, he was able to get the St. Louis boys in a group, also a special group of St. Louis non-comissioned officers and several "close ups" including special pictures of Lieutenant B. E. Watkins. The picture will be shown at the Booker Washington for one week beginning Monday. Jan. 28. As it is quite likely that at least 25,000 St. Louisans will want to see the boys again, before they go to France, it will be necessary to start the shows much earlier than usual in order to close the theatre at 10 each night, as has been ordered by the Fuel Commissioner. WATSON & WHITE Undertakers and Embalmers 4209 W. Easton Ave. Jimmie Collins Tells What He Saw— What Military Training Does "Well, here we are!" exclaimed Billie, presenting his chum, Jimmie Collins. "Very glad to see you, Mr. Collins," said Uncle Dan with a smile. "Aw," said Billie, "Just call his Jimmie. That's the only name he knows. He's the pitcher of our baseball nine, and he's some pitcher, too. Just feel of his arm." "Well," said Uncle Dan, feeling. "That's a mighty good arm!" "Now, boys," said Uncle Dan, "what do you want to talk about?" "Welt," said Jimmie, "I was down to Galenburg a few months ago when the boys came home from the Mexican border. They looked fine. Everybody was surprised to see how straight they stood and how manly they were. The boys seemed proud to wear the uniform. I tell you their muscles were as hard as nails. I heard Banker Haskett say that the training and discipline the boys had had was exactly what every boy in the country ought to have, and that now these boys could get a better job at higher pay than they could have had before. Do you think that's so, Uncle Dan?" Uncle Dan replied: "I have a friend who employs hundreds of young men. He always gives boys having had military training the preference; he says it pays to do so. He finds they are more alert, more prompt, more courteous; they know how to carry out orders; they are quicker to think and to act than those, without training. He said from his experience he believed that six or eight months of intensive military training would add at least 20 per cent to a man's TWO STANDING FIGURES The two pictures are of the same young man. The first, was taken the day he enlisted and the second after he had had five months' military training. His home is in North Carolina. earning capacity, and that it was the best investment any young man could make. "Billie, if you will go up to my room and bring my small handbag, I will let you see two photographs of the same young man, showing what only five months of intensive training on the Mexican border did for him." The bag was brought. Uncle Dan, showing the pictures, said: "Well, here they are. They tell their own story and it is a mighty interesting one. The young man, before training, has a discouraged look; he has seen but little of the world. There was very little in his surroundings to bring him out. When he joined the colors and Uncle Sam took him in charge, life for him took on a new meaning. He saw a chance to do something and be something. He woke up. His captain says he is twice the man he was when he joined the army. This may be one of the extreme cases," said Uncle Dan. "I can tell you, though, that war or no war, no one thing will do the young men of this nation so much good in so short a time as a few months of intensive military training. It its a man to fight his own life battles in the business world as well as to defend his country and its flag. "Nearly every civilized country gives its boys military training. It is compulsory. It is based upon the fact that it is the duty of everyone to help defend his country; and as war is now carried on, no one can do much unless he is trained. Also, the records show that the killed and wounded among untrained troops is nearly three times as great as it is with well-trained men who know how to fight and how to protect themselves. By this plan a nation has trained men to defend her and the individual is a stronger and better man for the training. "If the Chamberlain Bill for Military Training is passed by congress, as it ought to be, the same thing would be done for millions of other young men throughout the land. Everybody ought to demand of his congressman and senator the passage of this bill." "All right, sir, exclaimed Jimmie, we will see Judge Brownell, Mr. Haskett, and Professor Slocum, and get them here." Ask Those Whom We Have Served Delmar 922 Lindell 5690 4107 FINNEY AVE. A.

The Most Modern Facilities—Closest Attention To All Details PRESIDENT ALLEN'S ADDRESS TO STUDENTS OF LINCOLN INSTITUTE Save a loaf a week - Help with hunger Do not permit discouragement to enter your lives. If you could talk with Thomas A. Edison, you would learn how many times he failed before he finally succeeded in perfecting the incandescent lamp. If you could enter the laboratories of the Rockefeller Institute of any other of the large medical laboratories where experimentation is carried on, you would observe the dogged patience with which scientists seek a cure for this or that disease; failure after failure and, finally—success! Attempt the end and never stand to doubt; Nothing's so hard but search will find it out. The world today too frequently judges a man's success by the extent or the limitations of his material prosperity; and for this reason those who might otherwise unselfishly devote themselves to some great work of humanity are diverted from their original intentions and persuaded to bend all of their energies to the accumulation of money. The desire to be considered successful is stronger in their minds than is the desire to succeed. They, therefore, desert the substance for the shadow. And even among scientists, who labor for the benefit of mankind in general, there is a tendency to pay more honor to those whose exploits are spectacular. The Arctic explorer risks his life no offender than the surgeon, for the surgeon risks his every day; yet the explorer is a great hero, while the surgeon is only a surgeon. Let others judge of your success as they will, you should keep always in your own mind the definite ideal which you have erected there; and measure your progress, not by your bank account, but by your approach to that ideal. "He that never extends his view beyond the praises or rewards of men," says Dr. Johnson, "will be dejected by neglect and envy, or inflamed by honor and applause. But the consideration that life is only deposited in but rise he did, in spite of cold, of hunger, of illness and of neglect. And as he rose, so can any man rise who does not premit himself to be downcast at every rebellion and discouraged at every failure. Keep ever before your eyes, the ideal. Labor day by day to the best of your ability. Keep faith with yourself and with your fellows, and success will be yours, whether it be of the sort which is recognized by the world and heralded abroad, or whether it be that consciousness of peace in your heart which springs from a life well lived and a task well done—the peace of God, which passeth all understanding. Neither to change, nor falter nor repent; This, like thy glory, Titan! is to be Good, great and joyous, beautiful and free; This is alone Life, Joy, Empire and Victory.

SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC—Jesus meeting man's deepest need This is one of the most dramatic, spectacular incidents recorded in the Bible. It is a good illustration for Sunday school teachers on how to tell a story by imagining what one would naturally do. We ought to have our scholars see with their imagination, the story of this lesson as though they were eye-witnesses of the whole scene. The time was about May or June A. D. 28, the second year of Jesus' ministry, a few weeks following the last lesson, during which time he had been preaching and healing in the surrounding country. 1. Introduction. Jesus could testify in a home as well as before the multitudes. Indeed it was after having testified in the home (v. 1.) that the crowds gathered about the doorway, for it was not known that he was there, until some days after he had been in the house. Luke tells us that the crowds which came, came not only from Galilee but Judea and even Jerusalem. Jesus did his work so well in the home that wherever he was, the world wore a path to his doorway. Notice verse two; when the crowd gathered about, he spoke unto them "the word." In this we see a parable. Many a successful man, when he becomes popular, forgets to preach the pure Gospel, the Word of Life. 11. An impelling Need (vv. 3:4). This man who had paralysis, I. e., disabled on one side, was not only deprived of his sensation but his power of motion. As to the cause of his difficulty, his previous character of life, there is no word of suggestion. We see abundant evidence today, however, to know that many such cases are the results of our own debaucheries and one would gather, from the course which Jesus pursued with this man that perhaps his case was likewise the result of his early sin. The teacher might well read in this connection Luke 16:11-13. Of course, this man may not have been a prodigal son. Nevertheless, he had as much suffering as though he had been and as far as he himself was concerned, he was helpless, a picture of all sinners. He, however, had friends, very enterprising ones. And so putting him upon the double quilt or coverlet, which could be rolled together in a bundle of moderate size, they carried him into the presence of the master. 11. Jesus Forgives and Defends His Rights (vv. 5:12). The crowd was so great about the house that "they could not come nigh unto him for the press." They were not, however, discouraged; but leaving the crowd, they went up the usual outside stairs, bearing the sick man with them unto the roof which "they uncovered"—literally they dug through the flat roof made of branches and twigs and covered with earth, and which could be as easily repaired. Travelers in eastern countries have often seen a similar act performed even in this day. They then let down the bed or mattress by the four corners. The roof was so low, that no cords were needed and those below received the man from the hands of the four upon the roof and placed him in front of Jesus. Jesus commends "their deed" as indicated in all three of the Gospel records. Not alone physical obstacles had to be overcome, but the attitude of the scribes (v. 7). Was it hurt, was it honest to break through the roof of a man's house? Would they make it good? Was the owner glad to have had At done? Jesus did not hesitate or speculate over such questions, but goes at once to the issue and to the man, sick of the palsy, "Son, be of good cheer, thy sins be (are) forgiven then." See Matthew's and Mark's account. "Son," is a word of endurance. the word "be" is not as string in the old form as the word "are" forgiven. Jesus went at once to the unhealed wound in the soul the sense of unforgiven sin. Forgiveness is not of the judge who sentences "not guilty," but a father who welcomes and restores one to sorship. It is restoration to life. The Bible story of the prodigal son and that scene pictured in the seventh chapter of Luke, the feast where Jesus dealt with a woman of the city, who ministers unto him, are good illustrations of the master's attitude of mind on this occasion. The scribes charged blasphemy which is to slander God and speak treason against him. Blasphemy is practically uttered treason. He perceived their inmost thoughts and answered them (v. 9). To forgive sin, or to command the man to rise were both divine acts; he could do either; he proved one by the use of the other. His command to the young man to take up his bed was a test to be proved by the man's faith. That the cure was complete we know, for he immediately arose. To "arise" was a physical impossibility; to "take up his bed" permitted no relapse. By REV. J. H. RALSTON, D. D. Secretary of Correspondence Department, Moorly Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT—For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world, because in the end of the world has been the consequence of the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of, many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation—Heb. 9:26-22. On the very face of these words we see the three-fold picture of the work of redemption by Jesus Christ—his incarnation, his atonement and his second coming. The latter is the neglected element in redemption. M. B. One of the easiest errors, into which man falls is the partial or imperfect presentation of the work of Jesus Christ. It is true that sometimes a passage of Scripture will present but one phase of that work; but, taking the whole Word of God and dividing it right, the full work of Jesus Christ is presented. In this passage that work is quite fully presented in the three-fold picture given. The Incarnation. 1. The incarnation of Jesus Christ is clearly presented in the words, "He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." The fact of that appearance no Christian denies. Just now the papers are full of war news. Bethlehem where that appear was made. Why did he appear? Was it to give to the world the superman, a sample of moral uprightness, to make possible the sacrificial life, to provide a victim of the opposition of wicked men? Some say, yes, to all this, but this passage says he came "to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." There was a purpose in his appearing. Elsewhere we are clearly told that he came into the world "to give his life a ransom for many." From our first notice of the consciousness of Jesus as to the business on which his father hath sent him to the last days of his life when his face was set on going to Jerusalem to die for the world, that purpose was the distinct and dominating principle of his life. 2. In the words, "once offered to bear the sins of many," we have the historical fact of the death of Jesus Christ. Again, it is most interesting to note that the daily papers are telling us of the taking of Jerusalem by the English; the very location of the sacrificial atonement. In this offering we have the fulfillment of the Old Testament picture of Jesus Christ, as given by Isaiah in the fifty-third chapter of his prophecies. This was the accomplishment of the purpose of his incarnation. Then a fountain was opened for uncleanness, full provision being made for the taking away of the sin of the world. His Second Appearance. 3. But the third part of the work of Jesus Christ is presented just as distinctly as the other two, in the words, "He shall appear the second time without sin unto salvation." With practical unanimity men are willing to accept that Jesus Christ appeared at Bethlehem about nineteen hundred years ago, that he grew into maturity and died as described in the Bible; but, when an intimation is given that he is to appear on this earth a second time there is immediate, skepticism, and sometimes virulent denial. But here is the statement as clear as it is possible to make it—and shall appear the second time," The first time he came as a babe, in an obscure place, and yielded himself to the opposition of sinful men even to the sacrifice of his own life. The second time he will appear without sin unto salvation. The first time he appeared with sin, being made sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. The second time he is to appear without sin unto salvation; or, we might say, into the completion of salvation. We may conserve of the Son of God looking on poor, frail man, to whom it is appointed to die and then go to judgment, and saying, "I will give him a complete salvation. He will have in my salvation something infinitely beyond what this life can give. In my second coming I will give him a completed salvation." It is only then that the graves will open and the bodies of those who have believed on him as an stoning Saviour will rise in perfect power and honor and glory, and the living saints will be changed. The time of this second coming is not known, but it is the great event of the future, and signs are increasing in number and significance that that event is not far distant, and it might be that in connection with the recovery of Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was incarnated, where he died, and from where he ascended into heaven, that he may come with his saints as the glorious king, the heir of the throne of David, and reign in righteousness Have Soft, Fair, Clear, Bright Complexion Just try Black and White Ointment (for white or colored folks).

Are You Feeding Your Family Right? (Prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture) CORNWALC SUGAR A THE EAST INDIAHAIR GROWER You know how important the right food is in keeping your family in good health. Right food does not mean expensive food—it sheeps food wisely chosen, of the kind the body needs. You eat so that the body can grow and stay healthy and save energy to do your daily work and keep warm. All foods can be divided for convenience, into five groups according to their business in the body. If some food is taken wisely from each group every day, the body will have the proper variety. When you exchange one Day's Food Supply for an Average food for another which has become scarce or expensive, choose one or more foods from the same group. 1. Vegetables and Fruit—Everyone likes fruit, and it is good for you—so are vegetables. Since they furnish mineral matter, both help to build up the bones and other parts of the body and keep it in good working order. They help to prevent constipation. All kinds are good—use them, fresh, dried or canned. Prunes, raisins, apples and other dried fruits are good. You can give them to the children instead of candy. 2. Milk, Meat, Eggs, Cheese, Fish, Peas, Beans and Nuts—They furnish the "protein" whose chief business is to supply nitrogen in the right form to build up the body. In the young child new muscles, new bones and all the other parts of the body are being made. In the grown person these parts are constantly wearing out and must be replaced. Foods supplying protein and ash are needed for this purpose. For example, in choosing from group two, if you have beans or peas, and some milk, you can use them in place of meat. In this group (No. 2), milk is the most important. Of course, it is absolutely necessary for the infant, but the growing child needs it, too. If the child has it, he needs but little of any of the other foods in this group. MONEY 3. Cereals - This includes bread and all such foods as oatmeal, macaroni, rice, hominy, breakfast cereals and cornmeal. Their most important work is to furnish the body, with Dairy, though they also contain some protein and ash. They are the cheapest form of fuel, so use plenty of them. The breakfast cereals often cost less per pound if you cook them at home, instead of buying the ready-prepared kinds. Some of the large packages, which cost 10 or 15 cents, contain only one-fourth pound of cereal, while you CORNMEAL SUGAR ge Family as It Comes From the Market. can buy cornmeal for less per pound. Your purse and your preference both deserve consideration. 4. Sweets, Sugar and Sirups—Jellies and preserves are fuel for the body, too, but, in general, they are more expensive than cereals. Use them for flavor, but a little will go a long way. If the children eat too much sweets, they won't have an appetite for the foods they need most, like bread and milk. Instead of candy, you can give them fruits, which contain enough sugar to satisfy them, but which are not likely to spoil their appetites. 5. Fats—Butter or other good fats, cottonseed oil, lard, drippings, etc., are another kind of fuel. People who do hard work, especially outdoors, need more fats than those who are not so active. They are a relatively expensive form of fuel, and besides the animal fats are scarce now and needed for our armies and our allies, so use them sparingly. These five kinds of food—fruits and vegetables, meats or meat substitutes, cereals, sweets and fats—are all necessary for the proper nourishment of the body. Remember that the cereal group is the one most of us depend on for the bulk of our food. You need the others, too; in proper quantity. Don't forget the five food groups. Bee to it that you have some food from each group every day! ass prosperity by paying our just a few of us man and woman munity DIA HAIR GROWER Will Promote a Full Growth of Hair.
