that poisonous lead glazes are to be

"Potters' rot" is the old, deadly all
ment of the pottery worker. The
name is colloquial. indicating the de-
terioration of the lungs and the respi-
ratory organs through inhalation OF
the fine, fiinty particles which come
of the shaping and finishing of the
pottery piece. These particles. float
ing dry in the atmosphere, are drawn
into the lungs and set up irritations,
which are the beginning of the gen.

At least a dozen senators, accord

of the st. Louis Star, have borrowed
this desk when they had special utter

PROPER CARE OF MATTRESS
Seeding Not Hard to Keep in condt
ton, Though Constant Care
Is Necessary.

An immaculate mattress Is more
than the sign of a good housewife. It
is essential to good health. Even a
clean sheet will not keep a sensitive
person from shrinking II the mattress
looks queer.
There need be little excuse for any
dust II care be taken. Every mattress
should have a twilled muslin cover
thir buttons on, so that 1t can be
frequently washed.
Ii mattress is for big double bed
IL should be In two parts for easier
turning. The extra-careful housewife
pulls the mattress up over the foot
board each morning, so that it airs on
all sides. 1t should at least be turned
once a day. not always in the same
direction. This pre- ents the ugly ridge
when two are sleeping In the bed.
Rubber sheeting should be used un-
der the linen in cases of sickness. In
an emergency folded newspapers are
a good substitute.
The easiest way to clean a mat
tress is by the vacuum cleaner. II it
must be done at home, put 1t in n
slightly dampened sheet and beat with
a wicker carpet beater until all the
dirt seems to be out; then take a new
sheet. turn the mattress and repeat

RIGHT TO DEFEND HIS HOME

'' 49, ~ 0.b -lN1 F1OME.
We welcome with pleasure every
indication of disposition on the
part of the Southern brother to treat
the Afro-American with fairness and
justice and such an instance recently
occurred in the state of Arkansas. A
difficulty took place between a white
man and and an Afro-American. La
ter the white man went to the Afro
Americans house and shot at him.
The Afro-American returned the fire
and wounded the white man. The
jury awarded the Afro-American two
years in the penitentiary. Judge A..
B. Grace set aside the verdict and
ruled that the Afro-American had the
same right to defend his home as the
white man had; so he discharged the
prisoner. At first glance the forego-
ing may seem rather unimportant
matter, but we pronounce it one of
supreme Importance and know that it
required no little courage upon the
part of the judge to take such action.

fects and may come back sometime
IN the shape Of discriminating and re
presslve laws and finally in the with
drswal of all civil and political rights
from the race.
There are in the United States a
few individuals who have proved
themselves to be true Christians, but
the alleged Caucasian Christian
Church in this country justified slav-
cry and has never taken a decided
stand for the rights of men.
The Y. NJ. G. A. people in many
Northern communities are endeavor-
ms to seggregate the Afro-American,
thus proving that ia one respect the
Association is not a Christian organ
izaticn. j..
If Afro-Americans think that an or
ganization similar to they. NJ. c.. A.
is needed in any particular commu-
nifty, they should form one and call it
by some other name Under no cir
cumstances should they have any con-
nection with the Central Y. NJ. c. A.,
which as q rule in cities where there
are cOlored branches, admits to the
central organization members from all
branches except the colored branch.
To become a branch Of an organiza-
ton which discriminates is to admit
inferiority.
That Afro-Americans should be-
come parties to the segregation plan
is inconceivable, yet many are doing
SO. THE APPEAL believes that
these members of the race, who are
in many instances, intelligent people,
are misguided and after they. have
carefully considered the matter and
see the perils the plan entails will
about face and refuse to segregate
themselves.
Better call a halt now. Unless seq
regation is stopped it will continue to
grow and it is not impossible that
within ten years the jimcrow car will
