MASTER OF HIS SUBJECT.
George w. Ellis Writes Book on "Ns-
gro Culture In West Africa"

george w. E1ilS WRITES BOOK on N&e-
gro Culture In West Africa"
Hon. George W. Ellis, for eight years
secretary of the American legation in
Liberia, who has travelled In West
Africa, is the author of new and inr
teresting book, Negro Culture In
West Africa" which is bound TO have
an extensive circulation because there
is no other book like it from the pen
of Negro writer as able and well
informed in things African as George
w. Ellis confessedly Is.
Speaking Of Negro culture, a promf-
nent writer says one Is surprised at
their fthe AfricansD knowledge of hy-
giene, physiology and the prfn,iples Of
medicine. Some of the operations per-
formed by their physicians simply
stagger belief. Instances are cited
where their surgeons have extracted
bullets and set bones, removing frac-
tured and shattered parts that would
have been a surgical triumph in any
of the highly civilized countries.
This seems Incredible, bilt when you
see a native doctor wash a mans
hand in a medical solution, then see
that hand thrust into boiling palm oil
and withdrawn without pain or injury,
something suggests to the strongest
lncredulity that perhaps these people
have learned something yet unknown
to modern Science.

MANY NEGRO DOLLS BEING

Nashville, Tenn.-An announcement
was made by the National Negro
Doll Company that their rush sea-
son, which it usually has during the
Christmas. is just now on. This is
occasioned, declares the manager of
the company, on account of the delay
in the Importation of material from
which these dolls are made. The
ship was caught and held as a prize
of war and was only recently released,
hence the material did not reach
Nashville until Christmas day. But
the people, says the manager, were so

they wanted that they all replied,
I'VE will wait to get the big dolls
While hundreds of small dolls were
sent out, the manager declares thatit
was surprising to note that the people
wanted the dolls ranging in sizes,
from seventeen to thirty-six inches.
The orders are being rapidly sent out.
Many OF the churches have sent in
orders that they might conduct their
bazaars. Dolls will be shipped
throughout the year, declares the
manager of the Doll Company, as we
are ready to fill orders as they come,
