CONSUMERS COME BACK.

An old farmer had a daughter who
was seized with an ambition to study
high art. She dingdonged at him un-
til he agreed to send her to Paris. She
went, but do not conceive any notions
about what happened, for you will
miss it. She fingered in gay Paree
and stood for lessons from the fat
chested arteests for year and two
months. She learned to draw SO well
that one could tell her Ben Davis ap-
pie from a Hubbard squash. One day
she hung good sized canvas over the
head of a mashy artist and came
home. In addition to various trinkets
which she picked up, she brought back
an idea. She injected high art into
the produce marketed from the ranch.
Vegetables, butter, eggs and poultry
went to market in fancy packages pat
termed strictly on rules of art, which

months she was getting premium on
all the good stuff the farm could turn
out. The consumers were coming
back and asking the retailer for goods
made on this farm.-Denver Field and

While cooling. newly baked bread
should be lightly covered with a clean
cloth or paper to prevent mold germs
and dust falling upon it, but it should
never be tightly wrapped in a thick
cloth, for, unless it is aired when TAX

an excellent medium for the growth
of molds. Place the bread, when cold.

and thoroughly dried. Never put por-

Always save bread crusts. dry
them well, put them through the meat
chopper, and sift first through wire

This will give three grades. Place

AFRO-AMER|CAN CULL|NCS

Atlantic City, N. J.-W. Forrest Co
zart, one of the best known colored
walters in the United States, and who
has been greatly interested along with
thousands of other readers in the ar
ticles on why Colored Walters Are
Losing Out" in an interview gave his
views on the subject. Mr.. Cozart is
an ex-head waiter, having had twenty
years experience as head waiter in
large hotels located in every section
of this country. He is author of the
Walters Manual" the first book of
its kind published in America, aud is
one of the founders of the Head and
Second Walters Benefit association,
and was the organizations first presi-
dent.
Mr.. Cozart, in discussing the sub
ject, said:
81 desire to submit the following
reasons why colored walters are los
ing out:
First. Owing to previous condi-
tions and race prejudice he is not only
held within certain bounds, but many
avenues heretofore open to him are
now being closed. The influx of for
eigners of many nationalities is pro-
ducing a labor crisis in all branches
of labor, therefore they are crowding
out the colored workingmen all along
the line.
Second. I have no knowledge of
the individual cases cited few weeks
ago by Mr.. Bell, but l am thoroughly
convinced that the greatest drawback
to the colored waiter is the lack of a
sufficient number of competent head
walters.
THAT I have not hastily embraced
this conclusion may be known by pre-
senting the following facts: The col
ored walters are facing the same con-
dition today that confronted them
twelve or fifteen years ago. At that
time a general movement seemed to
have been on foot to supplant the col
ored walters. Matters became very Sc
rious, especially throughout the middle
states and northwest. About this time
a few progressive head and side wait
ers rose to the emergency and aroused
their fellow-craftsmen all along the
line and accomplished much good.
Having heard many hotel proprietors
claim that colored walters did not
know how to give good service, pub
lished the Walters Manual, treatise

San Francisco, May 22.-The Japan
ese people as whole do not consider
the reply of the United States to their
diplomatic representations regarding
the California alien land law as thor
cughly satisfactory, according to ca
BILE advices received from Toxic.
The cable goes on to say that from
unofficial sources it is reported the
answer does not coincide with the
Japanese view of the relations of the
California law to the treaty agree
ments between the two countries.
London. = Regarding the contro-
yersy between the United States and
Japan, the Daily Mail, in an editorial
says:
'It seems unlikely that Japan will
force rupture with SO potent an ad-
versary over matter of this kind;
but the Webb law treats the Japanese
as If they were only semi-barbarians
and Asiatic undesirables."
Washington. = Reassuring advices

Japan indicating that the American
reply to the protest against the Cali
fornia law was received in good spirit
ty the Toxic government, and that
the situation had taken on a much
more favorable appearance than at
ally time since the negotiations be-
gan. Officials here admitted their
satisfaction over the turn of events.

quested Representative Sisson of Mis-

California has entered upon a second,
more difficule and more important
stage. since it is directly between the

would now be interpreted as being di-

wac itle idSI summer Wnen the
thirteenth annual convention of the
National Negro Business league was
heid at Chicago. The press reports of
IL were inevitably fragmentary and did
not carry information of the proceed
lngs much beyond local limits. A COM
piete and official report has now been
ISSUED, containing more than two hun
'dred pages that are as interesting as a
romance. In fact, though a mirror of
actual experiences, they bear not a
little of the spirit of romance. The
convention lasted three days. 1t was
composed of delegates from all over
the country, representing all kinds
of business and the several profess
sions. The farmers were perhaps in
the majority, but there were mer-
chants and bankers as well, lawyers,
doctors and ministers, the unction of
whose prayers and the eloquence of
whose addresses have rarely been sur
passed in gatherings of that kind.
These conventions are to a very
significant extent barometers of prog
ress 1t is eleven years since the
league held previous one in Chicago,
a year over a decade. At that time
1t was in the experimental stage, but
1t emerged from that a considerable
while ago. At that time it was more
an occasion for looking hopefully to
the future. 'On the return to the west
ern metropolis there were scores of
guests and delegates who had crafty
ing personal records of progress to
present. About fifty different enter
prises were listed on the programme.
AS stated by the compiler of the re-
port. s. Laing Williams, assistant Unit
ed States district attorney at Chicago,
reports of actual accomplishment and
growing confidence were never so
great at any previous convention of
the league"
1t was an experience meeting of the
most interesting kind. Stories of COM
ing up from nothing to independence.
to popularity and even to affluence
were told with the quaintness of
speech that we expect from the shrewd
negro who has gained his education in
the rough school of experience, and
the compiler has not corrected his syn
tax or attempted to translate his idi-

would have extracted some of their
choicest flavor. That the audience de-
rived the keenest enjoyment from
these recitals was evident from the
frequency with which applause and
laughter" punctuated the various life
stories that ought to be an inspiration
to the younger members of the race.
Nothing Is wasted upon such gather
ing. 1t is as quick to recognize humor
as it is ready to give close attention
to serious counsel.
The only remarkable thing about
that first Chicago convention, says the
compiler, was the wide vision and
splendid optimism of its president, DR..
Booker T. Washington" He is still
its president and conducted the latest
deliberations. Since the league was
launched there has been an outgrowth
of scores of affiliated leagues, all of
them agencies of negro progress. 1t
is one of the children of Booker Wash
ington's wise enterprise and consecra-
tion to the welfare of his people. When
his service for the race shall come to
be measured 1t is not alone Tuskegee
that must be taken into the account

which make gentleman.
His was the sympathetic heart, and
to my mind sympathy implies great
ness. The tradition runs that as Moses
was tending sheep on the slopes of
Horeb he saw a lamb caught in a
thicket. He stopped from his toll,
went to the lamb and set it free. The
God who had been watching Moses for
years to see whether he was fit to be a
leader said, "Moses has sympathy.

personally to extend my deepest SYM
pathy in your affiiction and trust you
may feel that while the sting Of death
has been severe and seemingly uncalled
for. yet it has pleased the Almighty to
call this loved one and it has surely
been for wise purpose. May the sun
shine of hope IN an everlasting eternity
dispel the gloom surrounding at this

fled with the religious and social life of
the community and is young lady of
many graces of mind and person who
is capable of filling the home she will
adorn, and will prove to be truly

chosen to honor with her hand. The
high calling of the groom and the es-

high qualities of mind and character

the acquaintance was made which later
ripened into love.
