At the outbreak of the Spanish war, in 1898, the four Colored regiments were among the first troops ordered to the front, and they won distinction. At the first battle in Cuba the Tenth cavalry played an important part of coming to the support of Colonial Roscival and the Rough Riders. The Twenty-fifth infantry took a prominent part in the battle of El Caney. The Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth infantry rendered heroic service in the battle of San Juan Hill. COLORED MAN PROTESTS TO THE LABOR DEPARTMENT AGAINST RACE DISCRIMINATION -Colored Man Responds to Government Call for Mechanics and is Told "Only White Men Are Wanted" Muskogee, Okla., Oct. 24. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C. Honorable Sira:— First, I desire to state that I am a mechanic, having followed my trade for twenty-five years, and a contractor and builder, and feel that I am as good along my line as any man in the United States. I am not just talking, but can furnish reference to my worth as a mechanic. What I am trying to convey is, I have offered my services to the local board at Tulsa three different times and on each occasion I have been rejected on the ground that only white men are being employed by said board for the government. This board has a sign out which says: "Brick layers, plumbers, and carpenters, etc. wanted." They were kind enough so offer to "ship" me as a common laborer, but I figure, I am worth more to the government, since no one will question my worth as a mechanic. If the Colored race cannot get recognition through your board at Tulsa, then the government should give us a man of our own race to look after such matters. I am still ready and over anxious to offer my services to my country as a mechanic, and along with me I can carry a good number of other Colored mechanic. I trust you honorable gentlemen will give me a reply to my communication at once. Yours very truly.

THOMPSON, RELATIVE OF GEORGIA EDITOR, HOLDS RESPONSIBLE POSITION Newark, N. J., Oct. 24.—This city contains about 495,000 inhabitants, about sixty thousand are Colored, and it was left for Mrs. H. H. Thompson of Macon, Ga., sister of Mrs. B. J. Davis, Atlanta, to go there and secure the most responsible position ever held in that city by a Colored woman. The most tasty, and fashionable resort for the millionaire woman 'to array themselves in the height of style, and special designs of modern creation, for the first time in its fifty years of operation gave a trial to Mrs. Thompson, a Tuskegee graduate. She made good, and is declared the best "itter" that ever held the position, and is the most talked of Colored woman there. The daily papers declare her a wonder. Her husband pulls in $2,400 per year from his position. EDITOR REFUSES TO RIDE IN CATTLE CAR Because Editor Murphy of the Baltimore, Md., "Afro-American Ledger" refused to ride in a cattle car, while on his way to Washington and entered a coach carried for white passengers, he was roughly handled by the conductor and arrested. Rocky Mount, N. C.—The epidemic of Spanish, influenza is at its height in Rocky Mount. The whites seemed to be more greatly affected, all the death roll to date numbers thirty-one, all whites except one. Some of the whites are complaining because the Colored women are refusing to nurse their sick and keep their houses clean, even making threats as to what will be done after the war. Negroes always nurse their own sick and bury their own dead and never murmur. Distrustishment, Jim Crowism, unpaved streets, poor sanitation, lynching and the most cruel discrimination practiced upon Negroes, in the South will finally change the old antebellum program. The old-time Negro is passing off and a New Negro is appearing on the scene, who feels his equality under the law and desires to be treated rumanely. It is strange that Negroes can cook and nurse white people and get Negroes are not good enough to live in the same blocks and ride in same cars with these same whites. Well, the truth of the matter is, the Negro is a little shy of the "fuez." A Valuable Patent An old Colored minister announced that he had invented an automatic collection basket, which would be passed around by the denons of his church.

CONVENTION HELD IN STREET ON ACCOUNT OF FLU Special to The Argus SIGNS OF THE MIGRATION Corsicana, Texas.—The forty-eighth annual session of the Baptist Missionary and Education convention which has turned to be the greatest session ever held in the history of the organization was held on the streets of Corsicana last week. It was truly a moving convention and great from many viewpoints. On account of the Spanish influenza many of the churches of America have been closed, and when yord reached Dr. Moore that the Mayor of Corsicana had said the meeting could not be held in the city, the officers were called together for special prayer, and then in company with the pastor of the white Baptist Church, President A. L. Boone, Secretary M. M. Rodgers and others went to Mayor and cold him about the amount of work that had been planned for this session, and it was a year's work. It was decided that they could hold session for two days. With thanks the plan was accepted, but when they met in the Texas Ministers' Union, two officers appeared and said that after a protest from the citizens, including some Colored, the Mayor and the City Physician has decided they could not meet in the church. This was another black eye, so to speak. The convention was called to order on Wednesday morning. A large amount of business was done and $10,270.78 collected in the two days' sessions. The next convention, October, 1819, will be held in Palestine, Tex. NATIONAL BAPTISTS FINANCIAL STATEMENT Report on Convention Held In St. Louis, September 3-9.

NEGROES STICK TO THEIR JOBS Two Employees of Mill in Ohio Make Remarkable Records for Service Without Loss of Time A "stand-by the job" record deserving of recognition has been made by Frank Harris, a Negro employed by the American Rolling Mill Co. of Columbus, Ohio, who has worked every day this year except two days in January, this one in February and one in June—a total of 239 days out of 243. He has been continuously employed by the company since October 1, 1904, and wears a 10 year gold service but ton. The four days he has taken off in 1918 have been more than made up by 7-14 days of overtime work. Albert Jones, another Negro, worked 141 consecutive days—7 days a week—without losing any time, from March 30 to August 19. He took 5 days off, beginning August 20 to go houting, but is working every day now. These men work on the pig-casting machine, and stuck to their jobs during the hottest weather. LANDING OF NEGROES AT JAMES TOWN IN 1619 TO BE COM- MEMORATED AUG., 1919 New York, N. Y. Oct. 24 — A committee of New York citizens, made up of Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop and James Weldon Johnson, were responsible for the conference of prominent men of the country, which was held in connection with a dinner last Saturday at the Libya in New York City. The central purpose of the conference was to discuss, and formulate plans for a proposed solemn memorial on the tercentary of the transplanting of the Negro race to the United States. It was suggested that a committee of 300 be organized for the purpose of holding, in August, 1919, a solemn and dignified commemoration of the lands of the Negroes at Jamestown in 1619. It is felt by the callers of the conference that in the present crisis in the world's history a commemoration of this sort, if suitably carried out by a national committee, representing all the interests of the Negro race, would be a means of bringing our wrongs, our accomplishments and our悲愤s prominently before mankind. Mention the Argus who making FRAUD CHARGE IS INSULT TO RACE Y.M.C.A. ESSENTIAL CLOCKS WILL BE WILLBECOMPLETED SET BACK SUNDAY Charges are being made of colonization and alleged illegal registration of Negroes in St. Louis, for the coming general election. It is said that an alarm has been sounded by the "Church Federation of St. Louis", the Citizens Dry Alliance and the Missouri Anti-Saloon League. These organizations have become alarmed because there are now 15,803 Negroes registered, while in 1916 there were but 12,837. On the face of this complaint it appears that the above organizations are of the opinion that Negroes are all "booze fighters" and a menace to prohibition; but the real truth is that the Democrats are up to their old tricks. The Negro vote is mostly Republican and the heavy registration does not look healthy for the success of the Democratic ticket. Yelling "fright" and threatening arrests, they calculate will keep thousands of Colored veterans from the polls on November 5. There is nothing new in this movement. Old tactics are being used. Yelling "watch", and at the The new Y. M. C. A. building is essential. This was the verdict handed down by the Government Committee which passes on essential and nonessential buildings. The Y. M. C. A. building will therefore go on to completion. In accordance with the Government regulations, that all work not directly contributing to the winning of he. war should be stopped, a number of buildings in St. Louis were stopped short. Because of the large work which the Y. M. C. A. has done in adding the Government in the cities and in the camps, the future home of the Nine St. Department was granted a priority order. One of the effective pieces of work which the Y. M. C. A. has been able to do in cooperation with the Happiness Hut at the Union Station has been to serve the Negro troops. Thirty six hundred drattlees have been accompanied to camp by representatives of the Pine St. Department, Y. M. C. A. Dr. Geo Stevens, Mr. Milton Roland, Mr. Fred P. Blair, Mr. Ed. Hamilton and Mr. Jones, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., have accompanied troops to both Camp Dodge and Camp Funston. Every train leaving St. Louis with drafted men, since June has had Y. M. C. A. representatives on it. The following figures of the work done by the Pine St. Department in the last six months are significant: Number of meals furnished 150 Number of beds furnished 35 Hospitality offered to 860 Train fare advanced to 5 Church parties arranged for 500 from Jefferson Barracks. When the new building is completed in December a larger work will be undertaken for the Negro soldiers. The Pine St. Department has adopted the motto "Your Uniform is Your Membership Ticket," so that all soldiers in and passing through St. Louis will be given the hospitality of the new $200,000 home without one cent of cost. The draft to complete the fund for the furnishing of the new building is now on and will end December 1st. A list of the captains taking part in the draft will be made public in the next issue of The Argus. Completing the report of the Ladies Committee — The following ladies have brought in money: Mrs. Patilio, $6.50. Mrs. Peck, 94c; Mrs. Griffin, $11.30. COLORED WOMAN REGARDED AS CURRENCY EXPERT Washington, D. C., Oct. 24 - Mrs Anna R. Grant, a colored expurrency examiner, did three persons' work for more than a week during the recent currency rush. More than once she went on duty at 8 a.m. worked all day and all night, until 12 the next day, stayed out that afternoon for rest and went on again that night. From July to September she was of greatest assistance to those in charge by relieving other girls. "She is to all" to the bureau, "regardless of rank" an example of farre efficiency and fine spirit" one of her associates said. Mrs. Grant's husband is in France. The Negro girls as a whole in the room are satisfactories and are said to complain less than the other girls. CALLS COLORED MAN "MR." AND MADE TO LEAVE TOWN A' Lazio, Tex., a few weeks ago, a strange white man who arrived in town, referred to Colored men and Women as "Mr. and Mrs." He was summarily informed by white citizens; that he persisted in doing so he would have to leave town; that no white citizen who was 100 per cent American would addressed Colored men and women by "Mr. and Mrs." The Argus is unlike its contemporaries in that it gives to its readers regularly a due portion of current misfires, fraternal and social news that effect the Negroes.

Under the Federal laws, the time for restoring the clocks to sun time, by setting them back one hour, will be 2 a. m. next Sunday. The 2 a. m. arrangement is chiefly for the convenience of the railroads. Most persons, who go to bed at normal hours, will set their clocks back, as they set them forward last spring, before they go to bed Saturday night. The difference will be that, when the clock has been changed, there will be another hour to sit up, instead of an hour less, as there was in the spring. The difference will be noticeable, in the present period of short days, as there will be day light to get up by, and much less day light at going home time in the evening. The navy subscribed more than $10,000,000. The army also made a fine record, but the figures are yet uncomplete. Gen. Pershing' cabled that up to Oct. 14 members of the American expeditionary force had subscribed $1,207,000 and that this probably would run to two million or more. TREASURY PREPARTI NOW FOR PREPARTI LIBERTY LOAN Date and Amount Undetermined, but Issue Will Be Made Regardless of Peace Negotiations. Washington, Oct. 22 — Long before the Fourth Liberty Loan figures have been counted, up, or the honor flags have been entirely distributed, or the money paid in, preparations have been started at the Treasury for the Fifth Liberty Loan. The date has not been determined, nor the amount nor any other features. The only certain knowledge is that there will be another, and it probably will come in the spring of 1919 — in March or April. Whether present German maneuvers for peace are successful or not, the Government by that time will need more billions to pay the war costs which can degrade only gradually, even if cessation of military effort should occur.

NO SUNDAY WORK - Office Hours from 10 a. m. to 7 p. m. 6152 Minerva Ave., Wellston MISSOURI NEEDS JUDGE SPENCER Patriotism Demands Him. Look at His Wonderful Record He Did His Part, Let Us Do Ours. The Democrats are becoming alarmed. Judge Spencer's success, in the Primaries, throughout the state, was so decisive that his popularity everywhere was clearly shown. The Democrats now see that he will win in the State as well as in St. Louis and they are trying to steal the election by scaring Colored voters away from the polls. tions which are now prevalent. In 1916 the registration was 12,837. Every political worker in St. Louis knows it should have been 18,000. But because of the disgrateful illegal Democratic tactics in 1914, in the very district where the operation has again started, it was impossible to get out a full Negro representation. Patriotism is the keynote that has stimulated the race to do its duty. The most important work he began in France, those left at home have sworn to do their duty without slacking. They have worked to the front in every war activity. where permitted; bought Liberty Bonds and War Saving Stampa to the limit; contributed to the Salvation Army and the Red Cross, and it should have been expected that every man would-now, if never before, awaken to the fact that he is a part of this government and it is his patriotic duty to exercise his right to choose the men to represent him in the public places of trust, to make and enforce the laws which will insure freedom. If there are a few cases of false registration, it must be Democratic work, as the Republican party never sanctions any such tactics. If a complete canvass was made by the Police Department of the whode city instead of only the Negroes, it would be found that the real fraud is among the whites. A. Few Figures Although only 12,837 Negroes registered in the Fall of 1916, on June 5, 1917, the draft registration was more than nine thousand. These consisted of men between 21 and 21 only. The total registration of St. Louis Colored men to date is near 20,000 and still the age limit has not gone beyond 46. About 5,000 or one-fourth of this total registration is now in the service of the United States, leaving 15,000 uncalled; 2,000 being under 21 and 13,000 between 21 and 46 years of age. There are more than seven thousand Colored men in St. Louis over 46 years of age which indicates that the political registration should now be around the twenty thousand mark instead of 15,803. Not every man who has been called to the service of Uncle Sam was on the registration books. It is a known fact that in the big draft of August 2, when 486 men were sent from the Seventeenth Ward, only 56 were found to be registered. Many Prevented from Registering The big draft registration on September 12 was carried out without a hitch within the hours prescribed by the War Department. 107,000 St. Louisans answered the many questions and signed up with Uncle Sam on that day and when the 500. registering places closed that night not a man between 18 and 46 was turned away; but one week later, when the political registration took place in the same 500 places, with less than half as many registering as were on draft day, the polls closed, in many instances, with men still waiting in line. Every effort was made to discourage the Negro to keep him from getting his name on the election books. In some cases this was carried to physical mistreatment, as in the Fifth War, where several were clubbed, and at one poll a shotgun was used. Every man, who is legally registered has a right, and should vote. No man, who has this right, can be refused suffrage. Any intimidation illegal and Uncle Sam guarantees protection of all citizens. These charges and threats are nly intended to scare the rightful voters away from the polls, they will fade away when the agitators realize that true citizens are determined to do their duty. NOTE—The Arms, next week, will publish a general review of the candidates on the Republican ticket. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES 100 PER CENT AMERICAN L.C. DYER CONGRESS 12TH DISTRICT SELDEN P.

Front & Proof. E. Kast 8th Street; Chicago & Proof. Front & Proof. Boca Buildings; Front & Proof. Chadder Building; Nashville office. Front & Proof. Independent Lift Building; Observation of the facts attendant with the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign has brought to light the undisputed evidence that Negro citizens of St. Louis have measured arms with their more fortunate white brothers in a manner that needs no second thought for commendation. In all parts of the city where Negro reside, honor flags of the Fourth Liberty Loan tell us in unmistakable language that the humble sons of foll are laying their meagre treasures willingly upon the altar that he world may be made safe for democracy and all men be recognised as men. David H. Haynes, a Negro of Vivian, Lac, purchased and paid for $100,000 of the Fourth Liberty bonds. This is only one of numerous instances where Negro individuals, as well as organizations, have bought bonds in such large amounts as to cause prejudiced whites id wonder in open-mouthed assessment what will the Negro do next. Not only have they bought and shown a willingness to buy again, but they are giving life (man's all) that they too, may have a right to Democracy's tree of life. Negroes have bought first, only of the First, Second, Third and Fourth Liberty, loan, but they have bought America with their years of unrequited toil. The blood and sweat of Negro men, women and children laid the foundation of American independence and placed this country in a position where it has the right and power to fight for a World's Democracy. Negroes have not only bought their share of Bonds, but they have bought the right of the Government to remove its undemocratic Jim-Crow cars and set aside forever the cruel crown of caste which is ever the cradle of hate and which has no place in Democracy's kingdom. They have bought with blood and gold the right to the fullest protection of the Constitution of their Government which guarantees the rights of all of its citizens. Yes, the Negroes have bled and bought, and bought and bled, for those considerations that are freely given to the enemy alien in times of peace. What more can the Negro do? What more would our Government have us do? VOTERS MUST BE PROTECTED Just because a large number of electors, that they may take part in an ado, about it on the part of certain states that an effort will be made to and otherwise, and thus "put over." Any attempt to carry out this so to be remembered that a United States as State and city officials are to be to interiere with an elector when voicongressman.

"Politics have adjourned," but the Republicans party. Just because a large number of Negroes are registered as qualified electors, that they may take part in the coming election, there is a "great ado" about it on the part of certain Democratic politicians. It has been stated that an effort will be made to intimidate the Negro voter by arrest and otherwise, and thus "put over" a few Democratic candidates. Any attempt to carry out this scheme will be vigorously fought. It is to be remembered that a United States Senator and Congressman, as well as State and city officials are to be elected. It will be a Federal offense to interfere with an elector when voting for a United States Senator or Congressman. The Negro was required to register on Sept. 12th last as a part of Uncle Sam's fighting machine, along with his white brother. There was no quibbling or to whether he had a right to fight to protect this country. There was no gass of holdlums to intimidate and run him away from the place of registration. But on the other hand everything was carried out quietly and peacefully. On Sept. 19th when the Negroes went to register, that they might vote and exercise their full rights an American citizen, why were they pay under the ban of suspicion? Why were they driven from the polls under threats by the Democrats in the Fifth Ward? If the Negro was called upon to register to fight and protect this nation against a foreign foe, surely the arms of this Government are long enough to protect him at the polling places during the coming election. They say that we have illegally registered that we may vote fraudulently in the November election, but we have a suspicion that it is the same old game. "The strong against the weak." Our arsenal know that there is a law to punish, and it is always speedily and most rigorously enforced against the Negro. ATTENTION The Sapulpa Oil and Gas Company offers an opportunity for the small investor. This company is interested in thousands of acres in Oklahoma and is making a demonstration of one eighty acre tract which was selected by the best geologist in that state. This land has been platted and recorded with all legal requirements. This land is owned in fee and every purchaser when completing his payment receives a warranty deed and becomes the absolute owner of same. This carries with it an interest in the oil production, as the company guarantees to drill two wells with the money gaining from the sale of these lots.

Moseley Replies To Fraud Charges To the Editor of the Globe Democrat: Dear Sir,: In Wednesday morning's issue of your inestimable journal and as trunk paper matter under the caption, "POLICE. BOARD IS SILENT. NEURO REGISTRATION CANYANE. REV. W. G. SHUUP, LEADER OF DRYS, CREDITED WITH INSPIRING MOVE FOR VERIFICATION OF VOTING LISTS." All of which is prejudicial to my people, and more especially to the Negro voters of which I am one. As a matter of fair play and equal justice I am asking that you permit me just a line or two in registration of the oft-repeated slanders on my people. I have thousands of your Negro population, voters, and reliable citizens, who think with me, that the time has come when your reporters should write carefully about our race and use discrimination and specify the class or clan they are writing about. Not all of your Negro voters or citizens are of the "chitap johnny class," nor are all of them in the market to be bought for a partridge. Thoughtful, law-binding, self-sacrificing, tax-paying Negroes whose loyalty, and devotion to the Government, City, Municipal, State and National, daily readers of the city papers, bid me to say that they are tired of being belittled before the public and held up as cats' paws so your each and every political up-take or shake up and by your peasant politicians. That day is past in the thought of your citizens, white and black, who have thoughtstuff about them. Not all of the Negro voters, of this city, are minus backbone or honest convictions and neither are they ignorant of the issue of the day. They are well informed and educated on current issues, local, National and International. The wonder to us is that with all his intelligence that the Rev. Mr. Shupp is not award of that fact. He seems forgetful of the fact that the compliment that comes to his society for its work in abolishing the saloons in the South is largely due to the idolatry and honesty of the Negro voters and workers to whom credit should be given more than to the white man of the South for abolishing of that terrible and shameful institution for the destruction of all good government. The saloons, I admit, as a matter of course, that there may be errors in the registration of in some of the wards of my people and the same may be true of white citizens, but why blame the entire Negro race for this? Why not be fair and honest in the matter? Why try to feel the public and place all the blame for the present police trouble on the NEGRO? Why not tell the truth? Not all the liars, loafers, or slackers, neither the false resistants are Negroes in the City of St. Louis. Turn the light on all voters wherever at and of what ever race, or nationality and then you will be doing the right thing. S. A. Morselde.

SIR KNIGHTS—Your last opportunity to purchase knights Templar Suits in perfect condition at the very lowest price. R. C. Fisher, The Argus Ridg. 2341 Market Monroe Ernest Grand Illustrious Potentate of Medinah Temple No. 33, of Shrines, is quite ill at his home, 3225 King Solomon's Definitive Prayer Seven long years in strenuous work had been spent in the erection of a House of God. The Temple of God was complete and ready to be dedicated as the dwelling place of the Most High. While men could and did visit in this House, it was the abiding place of Jehovah. He dwelt there. The dedicatory exercises are fully described in the First Book of Kings, but it is the Prayer offered by King Solomon on this most auspicious occasion that we desire to draw attention to at this time. The prayer of the King can be repeated slowly and reverently inside of five minutes and is a model. The great heart of Solomon opened towards God, recognizing the awful Majesty surrounding the presence of the Most Hight, and he pleads God's own promise to his father David that he would look with favor upon Israel and upon the family of David, if only they would walk upright before him. Yeast that He would even dwell among them if they would love and serve Him. Reminding God of His promise to bear the simplications of his servants the king, and of the people of Israel, the individuals laid before God; his needs are emphasized, and justice is claimed, for the oppressed, and upon the wicked. The nation being composed of individuals in its corporate capacity is held up to the Almighty, that he might deliver it from the hand on the oppressor and forceive the sin of the nation. Should the forces of nature bring famine or pestilence, or if the enemy were at the gates of their cities, when they returned to God confessing their sin as a people, Solomon pleads with God to hear them and answer their prayer. In the presence of a Holy God, Solomon thinks first of God and His relation to man and the work of His hands, but Solomon also has in mind the Grace of God and His promise, and through this Grace the king claims the promise for the individual and for the nation. The Stranger within the Gates is not forgotten, no matter what his race or country, should he pour out his prayer before God. He is asked to hear and answer that prayer. As a nation Israel would be called upon to go out to battle against their enemies, and should the fortunes of battle go against them and they be carried captive into foreign lands, the God of War is asked to hear their prayer so that they might be enabled to return to their own country. Egypt lodge of Freemasons should represent in the community where it is located exactly the same things that King Solomon's Temple did in Jerusalem, and this prayer gives the cleav as to what these should be. The exalting and honoring of the Person and Presence of God should be foreseen, His Glory and His Majesty combined with the Mercy and the Grace that emanates from such Presence, and Solomon seems to have this very clearly in mind all through his prayer. The relations of the individual with his God and with his fellow man is the next thought, and this is clearly brought out in the craving for pardon to the sterner liberation for the oppressed and a more punishment upon the wrong doer. As a nation its life was dependent upon the bounties of nature, and these in turn are viewed as the gifts of God, and should the sir of the people be such as to bring upon them the wrath of God. Solomon prayed that the anger of the Most High might be turned from His people and that they be dealt with in mercy This has been called the age of Fratralemism, but the prayer that is offered for the stranger and the sojourner by King Solomon proves that centuries ago the men who dealt with God recognized a brotherhood that was not confined to a race or a creed. Today the sure basis, the true foundation of a brotherhood that will withstand the assaults of all enemies it only to be found in the union of spirit around the Throne of God in the Temple of the Highest. That, the dark days of war, would come to Israel was clearly seen by Solomon, but he plead with God that even in the midst of disaster and pain the cry of His children would come to the ears of the Lord God of Sabaoth, and should the dire misfortune of captivity befall them, when they turned in mind towards their God, that He would incline His ear to hear and save them from their bondage. Many a lonely heart in the long days of the captivity turned with longevity towards Jerusalem and the place of God's habitation. So it should be with us today. No matter where we find ourselves there is always a place to which we can turn and find peace for the troubled mind and comfort for the oppressed heart. When we gather around the Masonic altar and see upon it the open Book of God's message to man, may our thoughts turn reverently and prayerfully, to Him, the giver of all good and to whom the Freemasons' lodge is erected. andhes a First-Class Lines of Goods Odess delivers Delivered W.

Thus, the Sabbath, with no chimes of church bells, with no trump of pilgrims' feet to the house of God, and with no hymns of praise from assembled saints, has lost much of its beauty. But the most perfect beauty of the Sabbath is its spirit. And there can be no ban put on this. In the house of the Saint, around his family altar, let the spirit of the Sabbath continue. Let his prayers and hymns of praise and thanks, which for the present, can not be heard in the church, be said and sung in his home. God's ear is great.

Dec. 29, 1885—This is to certify that I have used Dr. Thurman's Embrocation with the greatest results. I do say without the fear of contradiction, that it is the best remedy for all body pains and aches that I ever heard of. I have been an invalid for 18 years, with spinal affection. One year ago last spring I became paralyzed from my hips down, and last February I became entirely hepatic. From that until the latter part of July I could not move my feet or limbs without help. Then I began using Dr. Thurman's Embrocation, in, connectio with The New Discovery Blood and Linger Tablets. Within two weeks I was able to move my limbs without help, within one month I could walk with crutches and, now I can walk without them. I do think it was a God-send for me that I used 75 of the dollar bottles, using one bottle a day until I used three dozen. I took it three times a day and the toilet twice a week, bathing freely with clear Embrocation, and I feel very thankful that I got relief that cheap. Before I was blessed with using your Embrocation I expended hundreds of dollars for other medicines. I am 46 years old, and pray God may spare you many years, to establish Embrocation for suffering humanity. With respect, I am, your friend, Joseph B. Mayes Witness to the above - G. B.

AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN SERVICE FOR NEGRO TROOPS THE MARSHALS ENTERED TO CANDIDATE FOR THE DEATH OF THE MEMBERS OF THE DOWNS OF GREAT BRITAIN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS EN ROUTE TO CAMP OR EMBARKATION POINT HE KNOWS THAT SOMEBODY CARES. OVER 65,000 women are now actively enrolled as workers in the 700 American Red Cross canteens extending from the most northern point in Canada to the most southern in the United States and from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Together with the canteen kitchens, medical supplies and small transfer hospitals, they comprise the equipment of the Canteen service, primarily organized to stimulate the morale of the soldiers and to let them know that the country is with them and appreciates the sacrifice they are making. It was also organized for the purpose of meeting emergencies which may arise with troops in transit-unavailable delays, accidents, supplies exhausted, sudden illness or accidents to the men en route. The American Red Cross Canteen Service is one branch of the service which, owing to its nature, requires a certain amount of secretry. The United States is a tremendous country, with miles of track, and its troops are spread over tremendous areas. Men are sent from their home towns to camps, troops are moved from one camp to another, and they are shipped from camps to embarkation points and sent overseas, but wherever they are they find the American Red Cross has already blazed the trail and is there on the job. This service, like all efforts in behalf of the soldiers, sailors and marines on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, is rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction. Six hundred negro soils, were served recently by an American Red Cross canteen at a point in Arkansas. In a press report of the work it was stated: "It will be a long time before the activities of that great organization, the American Red Cross, will perform a better service, or one that gives the good women, both white and colored more pleasure. They were listed colored men coming direct from their farms not homes in Louisiana, going to a strange city and surroundings. They were a tiniest set when they stepped off the train here like a drape of lost sheep, but there was a far different feeling when they left. The interest shown in them here made new and lighting itself out of them. They will take their places in the trenches, like the white soldier, and every time one of them does it he takes the place of your boy or my boy. He's an American soldier, and all, heinor, is like the splendid work of our Canteen women and their colored women heinors." Negro Auxiliaries. Many cities of the South are organi- gating colored auxiliary canteen committees. The colored canteen in New Orleans is in charge of a very fine colored woman of education and a graduate nurse. The canteen has headquarters on the ground floor of the Pythian Temple, owned entirely by negro capital. It has five large rooms, well equipped for rest and recreation, and to date has entertained every batch of negro selects leaving for canteenments. It is maintained by New Orleans Chapter funds. At some points, notably in Texas, Canteen service is maintained to give refreshments to the instillators at their landing fields. In some of the large阔oads yards model canteen buildings THEATRES At a meeting of physicians and health authorities Thursday it was advised to continue to maintain the ban on the剧院, chancery dances halls and all public gatherings. St. Louis seems to have been the most fortunate of all large cities in avoiding an epidemic of influenza and the closing order is said to be the cause. The confessions decided not to lift the ban until the record of new cases dropped to at least 150, so there seems to be little chance of the theaters opening.

AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN WORKERS GIVE THE SAME SERVICE TO NEGRO TROOPS. have been erected, and all troop trains are switched on either side of the door that the men may be served quickly and efficiently. Upon the return recently of the national field secretary to the national headquarters of the American Red Cross, after a three months' transcontinental tour of the canteen stations, she presented a list of delightfully varied cooling refreshments served the troops—lists registering ingenuity and thrift in utilizing local resources to make an appetizing and attractive menu for the boys. The prime requisite, of course, in the summer months was something cool, refreshing and perfectly barrenless inexpensive and easy to prepare and serve in large quantities on short notice. Soap and water and towels, while not on the ment exactly, were intensely appreciated, and flowers were a real refreshment. All were enthusiastically received by the men after a hot and dirty trip. Interesting "sideights" on the Children activities the length and breadth of the country had their way into the national headquarters of the American Red Cross and give one a very human insight into the work. In one city where it was known that nineteen nurses were to pass through on the train, on route overseas, twelve canteen workers in uniform boarded the train on its arrival and presented each nurse with a beautiful red rose. They were quite overcrowded and deserved the courtesy was one of the biggest things that had ever happened to them. Her Got Ninety! At another canteen station a kine negro was served. He had been in France, had been wounded, and was sent home on a furlough to get well. "Yessum," he said. "I was hit in the arm and the knee. And I got so mad when I was hit I grabbed my gun and I sure her hee go. Yessum. The sadie got—ninety of them Germans?" En route to Waynesville hospital, a sergeant with six invalid soldiers applied to the American Red Cross Canteen at a station for a more suitable lunch for the men than could be found in the regular lunch room. Service was given immediately and eggs, fruit, milk, etc. supplied to the men. This is but one of many instances that demonstrate the efficiency of the teen service in emergencies. I want to say that the Steger Line of Pianos have been sold to over 250 people of this city by me, and eighty-five per cent of my possessions is in high class players, and mostly on good terms. I owe the steady increasing business to progressive and educational advertising. Do you really believe that a dealer can continually sell real, and I mean er for years found he was to pass through his "home town" and wrote her to that effect, asking that she meet him at the train. The message did not reach her. Naturally, very much disappointed not to find her at the station, the boy's woe-begone expression attracted the attention of a nineteen worker. When she heard his story she immediately started out in her car, found the mother, motored her to the station and had the pleasure of witnessing a very happy reunion of mother and son before duty called him overseas. Canteen workers often supply the messages for the "folks back home" that are written on the post cards distributed by the American Red Cross throughout its Canteen service. "This is done in cases where the men are unable to write themselves. Recently a distribution of the cards was made to a number of colored troops, and many of the Canteen workers were called upon to do the writing. In commenting upon the incident one of the workers said: "The giving was not all on our part, for when they returned from their exercises through the city the colored men were formed in a hollow square by their Commandant and the 'talent' of the regiment ordered out. The singing was beautiful and the clog dancing entertaining." The colored men were so pleased with their treatment that several of them made speeches, and one spokesman stated that he was going to love the American Red Cross Canteen "writ up" when he got, to where he was going. "It was the supper hour, but my committee was at the station at work on hand, sandwiches and preparing coffee with twenty minutes, after notification of the time of arrival of the troops," says a Canteen captain in a recent report. "When the train arrived my five ladies served nice fresh country ham sandwiches from large trays garnished with lettuce. I had to call in the husbands, as we had only twenty minutes to, serve, eleven coaches. After serving the sandwiches and coffee we made the second trip around, and each boy aboard received a tited Cross chocolate bar and cigarettes. Every single boy was courtesies and orderly, and their appreciation was the sweetest thing I ever saw." "This is swell and helps a fellow a lot," said a big olive-drabbled boy after cruaking of canteen refreshments at real $750.00 Player Piangs for $450.00 and continue in business! A Player Piang that sells for $750.00 should cost the dealer considerably more than $400.00 or it is not a $750.00 Player Piang. Our line of Player Piangs are sold to to everybody, and they are easy to play, I can, and I am giving better terms, than any other dealer in the city. If you side track me, you pay the penalty.

"And if it weren't for one thing I and my chum could come mighty near being happy now." "Tell us about that one thing that makes you unhappy. Maybe we can fix it," smilingly encouraged a charming Canteen worker. "Well, we are broke, and no one can fix that but our dads, and they are 'way up in Washington. We haven't time to wire for extra money—and there you are,' said the lad with a wistful smile. Canteen worker, bearing Cross Insignia, is worn out when on active duty. The Canteen unit includes a car and second lieutenants, a stu and a mail clerk. The size of teen unit depends largely on quency of the troop through its location. It is that a unit of fifteen women five hundred men. At first both Army officers way men felt that the Canteen "Hurrah for you!" cried the boys. And as they boarded the out-going train they wore quite a different looking expression from that which they registered just a few minutes before. From the foregoing, which is in reality but a "flash" of the great Canteen service in operation, one receives but the barest outline of the far-reaching effect of this branch of the American Red Cross activities in this country. The American Red Cross furnishes all commanders of troop trains, conductors and railway officials with a Canteen directory, embracing the names of the chapters which have organized Canteen units. Upon being given the briefest possible telegraphic notice these chapters are prepared to render assistance of all kinds to troops en route. Troop train commanders having government funds for the purpose, pay the government rate for rations ordered. In cases of accident or sickness occurring en route medical assistance and ambulance service are arranged for if requested in advance. Some of the Canteens, designated as "transfer stations," have immediate ambulance service for transferring sick and wounded service men to hospitals, as well as specially prepared food for sick soldiers in transit. All official American Red Cross Canteen Workers are carefully investigated and enrolled under oath of allegiance, and the woven shield of 100 FOR RENT—Neatly furnished rooms for respectable couples.

(10-18-4) Canteen worker, bearing the Red Cross insignia, is worn conspicuously when on active duty. The officers of a Canteen unit includes a captain, first and second lieutenants, a supply clerk and a mail clerk. The size of the Canteen unit depends largely on the frequency of the troop movements through its location. It is estimated that a unit of fifteen women can serve five hundred men. At first both Army officers and railway men felt that the Canteen service was not a necessity, in that if duplicated the provisions of the Government and the railroads. But observers in both Army and railroad service have come to acknowledge that the Canteen is a unique addition to troop transportation. At a time when the whole machinery of travel is geared to an unheard-of speed, it is inevitable that accident and weather should result in foreseeable delay and discomfort—the prolongation of journeys far beyond their expected time often depletes the troop stores, and the enormous travel on the railroads often limits the available railway supplies. The American Red Cross canteen service assists the officer conducting transportation by giving him an immediate depot of supplies and helps the railroad by feeding the troops in the railroad yard, thus preventing congestion at the station. In one city the president of the railroad ordered a freight car given the American Red Cross. It was equipped with light and gas and placed on a side-track near the railway station. The canteen unit is thus able to keep the coffee hot and have refreshments on hand for the incoming troop trains, and it also serves as a protection to the workers against cold while waiting for the trains. The equipment of an American Red Cross canteen is just exactly what a community decides to make it. Some canteens in the larger centers are highly developed, while others embrace the minimum equipment. All are doing a wonderful work in which it is a pleasure to have a share. Mr. Phillips was COUNTED OUT of the nomination in the August Primaries BY FRAUD. He was the CANDIDATE OF THE NEGRO RACE then and is now. When he was counted out the Negro was denied representation justly due him. We have the most votes in this district and we insist upon our right to CAST OUR VOTES FOR WHOM WE WANT, AND HAVS district, by not voting for men who are being benefited by such practice. The election of Mr. Phillips will not only be a benefit to our Race; but will also be in the interest of HONEST ELECTIONS in the district. We do not make this appeal to you because we doubt your sincerity. We know too well your spirit of fair play and a square deal, rokindled into a fire of determination, while our boys are fighting to make all the world free, will not let you falter now. We know you will not quit until you have been granted a man's chance and recognized as a man's equal. We only wish to remind you that THE JOB YOU STARTED is NOT YET FINISHED.
