DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

REVIEW OF WORK
AMONG WOMEN
Possibilities For Their Rise
Were Never Brighter.
FACTOR IN NATIONS LIFE.
Interesting Story of What the Women
of Our Race Are Doing Through Or
qanization For the Elevation Of the
Masses-Foundaton Must Rest Upon
Character.
BY Mr.. III. c. LAYTON.

Brooklyn.-Now that the various
state declarations Of colored women's
clubs have held their annual sessions
and another years work Is to be plan
ned it behooves the women to be up
and doing. At no time In the worlds
history have there been greater posi-
bilities Of facilities for women's activ-
tiles. The progress Of races is deter
mined more by the development Of the
women than by any other advance
ment. Women everywhere realize this
and are spending and being spent for
the uplift of the masses as never be-
fore.
Colored women are keenly alive to
their potentially and are making hero
lc efforts In the development Of a
stronger and more substantial woman
hood. Instead of prosecutions of the
colored women discouraging them, they
have strengthened them, so that those
Of culture and ability have constituted
themselves into moral, mental and In
tellectual derricks for the purpose OF
pulling up the women farthest down.
They feel It their imperative duty to
stimulate the woman who lacks an In
centive to give impetus to latent or
slumbering talent. They no longer sit
on the summit of fame overlooking
the ruins Of neglected womanhood, but
realize as they ascend they must lift
Oakland sunshine. [volume] (Oakland, Calif.) 189?-19??, 1915-10-30

as they climb. They believe that WON
en- are to be the lever with which the
world must be lifted. Kingdoms will
rise or fall In proportion as woman
uses her influence. Nations will as
cend or descend In the scale Of civil
cation In proportion as woman deports
herself.
The most hopeful sign Of racial de-
velopment is that which begins within
the race. Less than twenty years ago
the colored women caught the vision,
and it Is leading them on to the perfect
day. The National Association Of Col
ored Women's Clubs, of which Mrs.
Booker T. Washington is president,
with an approximate membership of
$4,000; the Northeastern Federation OF
Women's clubs, Of which Miss Eliza
beth Carter of New Bedford, Mass, is
president, with its thousands of mem
bers, and our own Empire State fed
Grafton, 5000 strong, Mrs. NJ. @. Law
ton Of this city president, are all united
in heart, concentrated In purpose and
Of advanced womanhood.
The one thing which characterizes
the women's organizations throughout
the country and distinguishes them
perhaps from some others Is that they
are more directly concerned about
character building than any other fea-
ture. They feel that a woman Of
moral worth will experience no diff
Guilty in becoming a financial factor.
Besides. they feel that the morality Of
the women Of any race must be its cor
nerstone If succeeding generations are
to build successfully on the foundation
as laid. Unless the pedestal upon
which the statue Of the race must rest
is properly constructed 1t will crumble
and fall
The colored women all over this
country have opened the drafts OF
their hearts that the fire of love may
burn more brightly and that its rays
may be lamp to the feet and light
to the pathway Of unfortunate woman
hood. That their conscienees hav'
been quickened and their conviction
deepened Is evidenced In our great cit!
by the establishment of the Empir,
Friendly Shelter for unfortunate girl
In Manhattan and the proposed estab
lishment In October Of a home To-
delinquent colored girls.
The constant influx to this great cit,
from south and the immigration from
foreign countries are placing before the
women Of New York a problem which
must be reckoned with-one which, Il
not carefully studied, will become Sc
intricate and complicated as to render
1t insoluble. Our social problems ar,
engaging the attention of the bes
minds in the country. and certainly
must appeal to US II we are to b.
reckoned with as an integral part Of
this great and advanced civilization.
