THE LINE OF THE SPINE

shown above is the curved line which truthfully
presents to your eye the condition of your
spine If you use sewing machine.
The reason for this is the family sewing
machine as ordinarily constructed, is altogether
wrong. You cannot sit straight in your chair
straight and square as you should, and see if
you can sew on your machine; YOU can't. The
needle is AZ inches from the center where it
ought to be. To follow your work you have to
twist your body to the left. This twist calls
for a wrench and strain of all the delicate
chords and lgaments. affecting stomach,
spleen, liver kidneys, bowels and nerves. and
resulting in SIDE NEEDLE SPINE.
II it were possible for a growing child to
operate an ordinary sewing machine. it would
spine would twist and warp, its vital organs
would be injured to such an extent as to pro-
duse nervous disorders.
In schools, as you KNOW, desks and chairs
are specially constructed TO avoid spiral curv-
ature.
In factories where sewing machines are used,
The work is always directly central with the
operator, otherwise they could not stand the
strain Of the twist of the body and continue TO
work.
THE STANDARD CENTRAL NEEDLE
machine is new type of family sewing ma
chine designed as health saver and preyenter
Of doctors bills.
In this machine the needle is central with
the worter-directly over the center Of the
tgeadle. TO use it calls for no twist of the
spine, it causes no strain on the internal organs
and consequent torture of the nerves.
With THE STANDARD CENTRAL.

it all day and every day; without it she is not.

Ny Dear Mr. Bruce

My Dear MI. Bruce
Many thanks for your very interest
ing letter Of July 20, l think 1 under
stand something of the anomalous and
unsatisfactory position Of the Negro in
America, which you so pathetically de-
scribe. But a subsequent letter, which
i have just received from Mr.. A. A.
'ochomburg, dated Aug. l. the anniver-
eary of N egro Emancipation in the West
Indies, has brought a gleam of relief to
the dark picture drawn in your letter
From Mr.. Schomburg's letter, I learn
that it is proposed to celebrate the 3Oth
/. anniversary :of your entrance on the
field of Journalism by some substantial
expression OF the appreciation Of your
labors for the Negro, by the multitudes
who have profited thereby.
The move is entirely appropriate and
praiseworthy. l congratulate you an d
wish 1T complete success. It will not
only be giving honor to whom honor is
due, but 1t will give inspiration and en-
couraRement to many good, brave unas-
suming young Negroes who everywhere
in the United States, are working to-
wards the solution Of problem the na-
ture of which, it seems to me, neither
whites nor blacks in America have vet
fully grasped. Two things in your per
sonal career excite my astunishment
and admiration.
~ That you for the past thirty
years should have been persistently
striving to uphold and further Il cause
which everything in your surround
jngs discredits.
(2) That your services in behalf of
this unpopular, subordinated, subjuga-
ted cause should be recognized to the
extent Of suggesting to some who have
watched your apparently hopeless ard
Improbable labors the idea of sub
staDtial test imonial. I am sure that il
getting up this testimonial three classes
must participate. ~ the class who
understand you and are grateful for
your work, (2) the class who do not IN
derstand you, but admire your intelli-
gence, courage and perseverance,, (3)
the class who misunderstood you, but
who'will contribute 80 as not to be os.en-
sibly out of harmony with the other
two. Your career furnishes an illustra
tion of what st, Paul means by being
'more than conqueror.' l again con.
graduate you.
But why should the cause Of the Ne
gro be discredited in America? What
has he done to deserve such treatment?
What has he not done to merit better?
1t is coDsolatory to know that all the
greatest minds, who have ever lived in
America, and now live there, Il say The
greatest minds) have given him and do
give him, the credit he deserves, but
they are comparatively few. These few,
however, knew that the Negro was at
the bottom Of the civilization of the
Southern States. This is obvious at
the first-tbe most superficial glance at
his history there. Africa furnished the
: men without whom the vast Industrial
and agricultural work in the early days
would have been impossible. But the
80 called dark continent also furnished
+ the omen without whom the still more
important work of producing The pbysi-
ca]ly and intellectually strong men
: could not have been ACCOMPLISHED

matched against wits, straegy and
staying powers of the Taft forces.
TO win the nomination Roosevelt
must either break heavily into the
Taft ranks or win the support Of the
La Toilette and Cummins delegations
Or both. His followers are enthus-
iastic in the belief that he and they
together can sweep the convention.
Roosevelt Will Take Charge
Everything pertaining to the con
vention on the Roosevelt side, from
the election of temporary chairman
to the final struggle for control will
be directly under the supervision OF
Roosevelt himself from this time on.
The Roosevelt leaders said it was
principally to have his personal ad-
vice at first hand that they urged
him to come today. Also it is planned
to get him in personal touch with
delegates who have been counted
nominally as Taft supporters, but
who are regarded as possibilities for
the Roosevelt side. The majority
of these come from the south. The
leaders have arranged no fixed pro-
gram of activities for Roosevelt, but
while here he will be permitted to
take personal charge of his cam
paign, and will do just as he sees fit.
There is but one exception to this
rule of personal freedom, and that
is Monday nights mass meeting.
Here the former president is sched-
uled to deliver a lengthy address to
delegates. All of the speakers who
were to appear at that meeting have
been told their services will not be
required, and the Colonel will have
the whole field to himself.
viii Address the Convention.
According to tentative plans an
.nounced today, he will remain in
Chicago until the conclusion OF the
national convention. This in itself is
such a departure in the accepted pro-
cedure of past candidates as to fur
nish much food for speculation. It
seems probable he will attend the
convention during it's sessions. His
followers insist that if ne attends the
the convention he will address the
delegates in explanation of his atti-
tude on the issues he has raised.
Such an address would give oppor-
tunity for a stampede of variety
that was feared even by Roosevelt
four years ago.
Roosevelt followers are hoping
such an opportunity will arise.
