MANY ELIGIBLE IN NORFOLK.
In Twenty-seven Leading Churches
Only 0ne-Third Men Have
Paid Poll Tax.

Norfolk, Va. April 10.--Ihe delin-
quency Of the church people Oh NOR
folk in the performance OF lhelr poiiI-
zeal duties is the subject OF an an
rouncement made by the Public Wei
fare League, in which it is shown thaV'
cut Of the aggregate number OF ellgi-
bic male members of twenty-seVen
leading Norfolk churches represented
in the Tidewater Ministerial Union,
only one-third arc prepared to vote.
Data bearing out this statement OF
the proportion Of voters among the
members of these churches who are
eligible to qualify has been presented
to the Norfolk preachers. The I'M
nression which the information made
IN the ministers is expressed in a
resolution which the Ministerial Un-
ion adopted calling upon all the pas
tors to urge their congregations to
square themselves with the poll-tax
books.
That an astoundingly large number
of their male members over twenty
one years old, were not voters, having
failed 10 meet the poll-tax prerequisite
was, of course, already known to most
of the preachers. Many Of them have
been preaching on the subject for
months, while in some Of the churches
active canvassing to get all their ell
igible members qualified has been in
progress nearly a year. Nevertheless
it is said THAI the ministers generally
were not prepared to receive without
some surprise the information that
only one-third of their members who
ought to be voters were qualified to
cast the ballot in the settlement OF po-
litical issues.

All Of the fresh fruits add their

with bad complexion owes 1t to the
fact that she grew up with the foolish
habit of eating only a few favorite
dishes. The different fruits and vege-

valuable to the body, and the natural
appetite demands a change, even from
the best and most nutritious fare. Eat
generously of the fruits and vegetables
the season affords, but-just one word
of caution--see to it that they are
fresh. A single helping of tomatoes
