Times, in a recent issue commenting on the nomination of the name of Frederick Douglass for a place on the New York University Hall of Fame, made the following editorial comment: "Millions will join in the wish that of the fourteen names to be chosen for place in the Hall of Fame of New York University, the name of Frederick Douglass shall be one. It is to be boped those millions will be so many as to constitute the majority of all to whose attention the topic is brought. Apart from the fact that on the cold and windy day of April 25, 1865 and personality of Douglass constitute an ample title to the honor, the official and cultural tribute to his memory would have a splendid effect on the paramount racial problem of this country. By the Douglass, nomination, for an time, the name of a man of Nebraska and personality of Douglass constitute for Hall of Fame enrollment.

When the blood is impure - tainted with poisons - it cannot supply the brain, nerves, muscles and vital organs with the proper nourishment, and the whole system becomes run down and weakened. Such conditions, when neglected, or if not properly treated, cause much suffering and eventually result seriously. To remedy these conditions of diseased blood you must remove the cause The 2223 Lift C Doesn't hurt calluse Apply a few d bothersome hurting. root an Tiny bottle of "Freeze let a few cent at dru Lift Off Corn Doesn't hurt!

This is also true of other pleasures, such as golf, tennis or even those enjoyments which require no physical exertion. Likewise, the man who is suffering from some condition due to poisoned blood, manifested by eruptive, itching, skin diseases, ulcers, scrofula and so on, is miserable, half sick—no pleasure to himself or his friends. Are any of the pleasures of life denied you because of Rheumatism, Gout, Eczema, Scrofula or other conditions caused by impure blood?

To assist the liquid treatment, it is advisable that the liver, kidneys and bowels function properly. Plough's 2223 Liver Pills are recommended for this purpose. They act gently and do not nauseate or gripe. One to two pills are the usual dose, dependent upon the patient. Plough's Prescription C-2223 was originally a doctor's prescription. It was successfully used by a successful physician in his private practice, and only after retiring did he permit the formula to be supplied ready prepared. So great is the faith of the manufacturers in the wonderful merit of Plough's Prescription that they guarantee two $1.50 bottles—they authorize every druggist to refund your $3.00 if you do not secure sufficient relief to justify your continuance of the treatment. Plough's Prescription C.2223 can be supplied you by any good druggist at $1.50 a bottle; the Liver Pills for 25c, or both will be sent you direct on receipt of $1.75. Write Dept.

Little did we think some years ago that such miraculous cures would be witnessed so soon. Some of us were awaiting the millennial and some looked for some to come from afar—forgetting that the Master is ready and willing to act in and for the interest of the masses as soon as the human heart is right and years to do service for God and man. Read what he says about the harvest being truly ripe and the sending of laborers into the vineyards. Some believe that Jesus Christ is far away, but I say nay. He is ever nigh thee. He hears all we say, sees all we do and more than that. He knows our thoughts afar off. Read and ponder these things in your heart as did "Mary" when the Angel had talked with her and probably we will be able in-His name to do thee good or some one you may know, providing they exercise faith. Personally speaking. I have given myself entirely over to Him who has power to save, to heal and through me (not myself alone), there are many who are, being, restored to health again and have been sent on their wav rejoicing. All we ask is a fair and impartial trial and in His name we are sure good results will be obtained, provided you follow our instructions.

How much should I give to make this a better world? ACERTAIN man in New York filled out his income tax report. It showed an income so large that his tax was 53%. And his total gifts to church and charity for the year were $148. Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world a little better than he found it! Most of us do better than that; but not so very much better. Our average daily gift for all church causes is —less than we spend for daily papers —less than a local telephone call —less than a third of the day's car fare —less than 3 cents a day No wonder that 80% of the are paid less than $20 a the church hospitals turn people a year. No wond one doctor for every 400 that every church board forever meeting deficits, f It isn't because we are so don't want to help. It's just b up a great big program to us, work of the church in a system The Interchurch World Move program of thirty denominat No wonder that 80% of the ministers of America are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat. It isn't because we are selfish; it isn't because we don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever put up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the work of the church in a systematic businesslike way. The Intgrchurch World Movement represents the united program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed their whole task, no business could have done it better. They have budgeted their needs; no business could have a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dollars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual campaigns are joined in one united effort.

Dr. J. G. Robinson is the president of the council, and will preside at the sessions. Dr J. A. Lindsey of Georgia is secretary and Dr H. N. Arnett of Deleware is chairman of the Finance Committee.

THE URBAN LEAGUE The Urban League in this city is rendering a much needed service and one that is different from existing organizations. The League was organized September, 1919, and moved into its present quarters, 2329 Market street, last December. The Industrial Department has always placed up to April 1st over 700 men and women in suitable employment, some occupying positions herefore denied colored people. The Neighborhood Department is introducing recreational activities in the schools in the afternoons and evenings. Classes in dramatics, folk dancing, sewing, art, and quiet games are held at two of the schools. Because of the elasticity of the program, the Urban League is in position to assist existing organizations, in this connection it has taken over the Dental Clinic at Special School No. 6 in operation with the Board of Education.

In loving memory of our dear beloved mother. Selena Jane Howell, who departed this life one year ago; April 28, 1919. Home at rest, so sweetly sleeping. In thy Father's tender care; Would you please rest? Where there is no pain or weeping. None on earth can harm you there. Some day, some time, our eyes shall see When friends call—close, personal friends—you are always glad to bid them welcome whether the home is fixed up or not. But there is a whole lot more satisfaction in having things fixed right—this you will admit without aggument. Rest in peace thy cares are ended, Rest in peace, thy work is done; Your are gone where those who love you. Even for the casual callers, to say nothing of those who spend the night or a week end, one likes to have a few extra nice pieces of furniture scattered about over the house just as a sort of index, as it were, to the good taste of the occupants. Soon are coming, one by one. Sadly missed by five daughters, two sons, grand children and friends. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our dearly beloved wife and mother.

There is some of the lowest priced good furniture here that can be found in any store in St. Louis, but "junk" is conspicuous by its absence. mother. Just one year ago today. How we miss your smiling face. But you left us to remember; None on earth can take your place. A happy home we once enjoyed, How sweet the memory still; But death has left a loneliness. The world can never fill. "Gone but not forgotten by her loving husband, daughter and son-in-law, Sam Phenix, Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Teeters, Detroit, Mich." 2nd. All prices here are marked in plain figures.
