Many housekeepers will be interest
ed in little board they can have
made expressly for their use. It is
nothing more than the ordinary bread
board secured from the 10cent store,
nicely covered several times with
newspaper and then a covering of
canton flannel or IA piece of outing
flannel neatly whipped along the four
edges. When this is finished make a
case. as you would for pillow. as
large as the board and put three but
tons on closing end. also three button
holes. When in a hurry to press

Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood
purifier. They are a laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bow
els, kidneys and skin, thus cleansing
the system by the natural outlet OF
the body. They stimulate the blood
so to enable nature to throw of all
morbid humors and cure all troubles
arising from an impure state of the
blood. One or two taken every night
will prove an invaluable remedy.
Each pill contains one grain of solid
extract OF sarsaparilla. which, with
other valuable vegetable products,
make II a blood purifier unexcelled.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century. and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

How often do you hear these signi-

the same words yourself, and there
Is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
Il Pinkham OF Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Womans Ills, "
these two words are full OF more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits. reluctance To
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
Irregularities are the bane Of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered remedy. Lydia z. Pink

In the second days session the
grand lodge got down to business, and
after some time the following officers
were elected: M. W., e. w. Lamp
ton, ID. D., grand master; w. A. J. Nor
gan, of Shelby, deputy grand master;
B. F. Lacy, of Shiloh grand senior
warden; w. w. Phillips. Kosciusko,

Of Holly Springs, grand secretary;

treasurer; E. e. Perkins, of Edwards,
secretary and treasurer Of the Ma
sonic Benefit Association.
The feature of the session was the
report of Hon e. e. Perkins, of Ed
wards, Secretary and Treasurer Of the
Masonic Benefit Association. In his
Introductory remarks he said he had
guarded with a vigilant eye the inter-
ests of the widows and orphans, and
it was inded gratifying to see how the
Negroes were putting forth an effort
to provide for their widows and or
phans, and through the Order of the
Eastern Star, orphans and husbands
were provided for, and in the case Of
the death of the mother and fathec
belonging to the Fraternity the or
phans received $1,000, which was a
good start. He reported that the
Grand Lodge had purchased 1000 acres
of land in the Delta, which was now
worth $4,000. The receipts for the
department during the past twelve
months had been S166, ,9801O and had
paid to widows and orphans $117,-
4G0.27, and there was a balance on
hand of $48,919S3.
Resolutions thanking the Secretary
were passed. In addition to holding
the position, Mr.. Perkins is postmas-
ter at Edwards and has held the po-
sition for a number of years. He is
one of the most prominent Negroes in
the State.

GARY's GRAND GROCERY TO THE
FRONT.

The Negro business men of Nash
vile are awakening to the needs Of
the people. The latest to come for
ward with a relief to those who often
find themselves in the city and in
want of a nourishment is the Gary's
Grand Grocery.
Realizing the fact that the appetites
of people vary as other things, they
have opened in connection with their
large grocery business a lunch par
lor where one can be served to light
lunches and soups at any hour. They
do not claim to be running a restau-
rant, but they 90 claim to be able to
satisfy that demand for choice lunch
es that has been so long felt among
our people in Nashville. Mrs, Gary IS
conceded to be authority in the prepa-
ration of consomme, and the conten-
tiOn is attested to by a Globe repre-
sentative who recently stopped in at
Gary's Grand Grocery and was served
to one of their lunches.
Gary's Grand Grocery is the pride
of the Negroes of Nashville. They
keep everything that is best and al
ways supply their customers with
fresh goods. Mr.. Gary believes in
meeting the needs of the people in
every way.
