HEALTH HINTS
By DR.. A. ]. Booker.

Every baby under years of age
should be in bed not later than 8
o'clock. It is during the period of
sleep that tired nerves become sooth-
ed and the body grows. Young grow
ing organisms cannot stand long con-
tinued strains. Children may appear
to do we'll under haphazardt man.
agement, but the way is surely being
prepared for nervousness or some
bodily weakness later. Children
should take afternoon maps, in a cool
place. They soon get the habit and
it is not necessary to whip or scold
them in order to begin new habits.
After they cry two afternoons or two
nights and see that it does not fret
you and get you angry-no child has
deep respect for an older person who
gets angry and shows Its anger
they will quietly 60 to sleep.
We have reached an age where it
is seen that attention to children pays
more in the long run than to let them
come up "any old way" and be a
burden to themselves and the COM
munity. The greatest difficulty with
young mothers is the continual harp
ing of ignorant old persons who
raised their children any old way"
Ask about those children and you will
find very few of them who are any
thing but grown. They show their
haphazard coming up. The best pre-
pared animal is most likely to win in
any race.
Children need plenty of water.
Water and milk are the only two
drinks the Creator intended for chill
dren-or grown people for that mat
ter. There are some folks who give
children beer or any other alcoholic
drink ought to be locked up and the
baby taken from them. The same
ought to be said of tea and coffee.
Unfortunately it is not possible to
show the immediate effect of these
little evils unless carried to excess,
but results are certain, and not good.
Candy does not cause decay of chill
dren's teeth. Good candy-by that l
mean SUGARS one of the necessary
articles Of ckild's dietary; but rea-
son and regularity should prevail.
After meals is the time for children
to eat candy. If given then they will
neither eat too much nor have their
digestion disturbed. Candy after
meals is rational and wholesome.
Battle baby these hot afternoons;
do not give him uncertain articles of
food. Do not nurse him every time
he cries.

RACE PRIDE SAVES THE NEGRO
BANK. 49,
One Of Our Largest Negro Banks in
Muskogee, Okla, Was Saved by
the Wealth of Negro Man.

A special to the Kansas City Stal
from Muskogee, Okla, under date o.
June 18th says:
Pride of race and determination Il
show the Negroes could show bushes!
courage equal TO white people savee
the Peoples Bank and Trust company
strictly Negro bank Of this city, from
ruin, and it is running today rs usua
following a stress that would have
wrecked most any bank In the state
under similar circumstances.
A suit brought by one of the stock
holders started an internal strife with
in the bank that leaked out and start
ed run. This forced the bank tt
close its doors. Then the state bank
examiner took charge and che bank
remained closed all day, while angry
depositors stormed the outer doors ir
an effort to get their money out.
Meetings were held in every Negro
church in the city and the Negro min.
listers preached on the subject of the
bank. They appealed to race pride
and to cool judgment. They pointed
out that to get panicky and draw Out
deposits meant to break the bank
sure. For the bank to fail would be
a sad commentary upon the Negro a.
factor in the business world, thing
that the Negroes could not afford t.
The Negroes were advised to lei
their money stay on deposit and put
in more. This had its effect. While
the banks doors were still closed one
Negro merchant stood in front of il
with $4,000 in a bag, stating that HI
was going to deposit it. Severa
others with big rolls joined him. Ir
the meantime the officers and stock
holders of the bank, all Negroes, were
busy.
The bank examiner demanded ar
assessment of 100 per cent On the
capital stock of $4,000. This was
promptly met, and the Negro finan.
ciers piled on top of the assessment
$4,000 more to show good faith.
With the permission of the bank ex.
aminer the bank was reopcned the
following day. Another crowd hac
gathered, but these were depositors
trying to get their money into the
bank instead of trying to draw it out
The bank had sufficient cash in its
vaults at that time to pay every de.
positor in full, but the money was not
demanded and the bank was saved.
