SOME FEATURES OF HEALTH
WEEK, BEGINNING MARCH n.
National Negro Business League sus-
gests Starting ButtermIk Clubs.

One Of the results of the national
observed from March 21 to q. will be
a wider and broader knowledge Of ma
ture's greatest health beverage. butter.
milk. Physicians. trained nurses. drug
stores and all local organizations are
going to devote some OF their time
during health week to educating the
race concerning the benefits to be de-
rived from the regular use of this de-
lightful food drink.
We are going to have buttermlk
clubs all over the south, and the mem
bers are going to pledge themselves
to drink buttermilk instead Of beer.
near beer and bottles Of pop" Dur
ing the hot summer months grocery
stores, drug stores and cafes will keep
iced buttermilk for sale, and instead
Of so many nickels going for cheap
soda water which Is frequently harm
full, many Of them will go into large,
satisfying glasses Of cool, refreshing.
health giving buttermilk.
During health week your physician
will tell you much that you didn't
know about buttermilk. Among other
things, he will tell you that people
who use 1t as one Of their principal
foods are healthy, happy and possess
rugged resistance to sickness and
disease. He will also tell you that
buttermilk has all the refreshing good
ness Of beer and soda water, with
none Of their bad after effects.
Buttermilk is natures drink and
eventually will become the nations
drink. Dieticians everywhere are ad-
vocating Its constant use, and In some
Of the larger cities they already have
regular buttermilk establishments to
supply the rapidly increasing demand
for this popular drink.
A drink more buttermilk" movement
among the colored people Of the south
will reduce sickness 80 per cent and
increase individual efficiency In the
same proportion. For further infor.
nation concerning the national Negro
health week consult any physician in
your city or write direct to Booker T.

the University Of Pennsylvania mu-
scum has recently found what is

ment in the world. 1t was found in

tian dynasty. which is generally be-
lieved by archaeologists to have been
about 34OO B. c.. or about $500 years

The finding Of this iron implement
is regarded as particularly important

Of iron was first practiced by the
Negro race. The implement is spear

INVESTIGATE MISUSE OF FLAG.
Recent British Violations Brought to
Attention Of Gerard.

Washington, July 2.-Searching in
vestigation is being conducted by the
United States into several cases in
which it has been officially reported
that British ships few the American
flag apparently to avoid attacks by
German submarines.
Reports have been received not only
from Ambassador Gerard, in Berlin
but thru American consular sources
in Great Britain with affidavits and
other evidence tending to show alleged
misuse of the stars and strips.
The issue is regarded as of such I'M
portance TO the safety Of ships really
entitled to fly the American flag that q
note may soon be sent by the United
States to Great Britain renewing the
representations previously made con-
corning any general use of the Amer
lean emblem by British vessels.
Some of the affidavits thus far re-
ceived state that In certain cases the
British admiraltys agents have con-
suited with the masters of vessels and,
instructing them to take certain
courses, advised the use Of the Amer
lean flag. The United States will not
act until it has received complete in
formation, but in view of the emphasis
which is laid in Berlin upon the dan
gers of such a practice, Ambassador
Gerard.s information II specific cases
as obtained from the German govern
ment, is being carefully investigated
Sufficient proof, it was stated authori-
tatively Thursday, already has been
gathered to cause officials to consider
the making Of new representations or
the subject.

from Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Chica-

OF the Chicago district the report
SAYS: Business in the seventh district

in the building trades, however, still
continue.
Excessive rains III TIE early week
OF June proved drawback in leading
retail lines and had an injurious effect
on the fruit crop in Michigan and on
some farm crops in the district. Not
withstanding this. late advices indicate
unprecedented cereal prospects.
This good outlook has impaired
confidence in the future Of manufac-
turers and distributors. More activity
has developed in all iron and steel
lines, both in actual dealings and in
orders for forward deliveries. The
spreading of work and improving calls
for supplies are reflected in other lines
and further gains have been made in
reducing idle factory capacity and in
creasing the demand for labor.
