Noted Business Man Denies Claims Of
Man Mentioned Below.
A man of the name Of w. III. Jones
whose residence number Is given as
267 South Fourth street, Philadelphia,
asserts that he is the twin brother OF
Joseph L. Jones, proprietor of the Cen

and that the Hon. James h. Needham,
grand secretary Of the Odd Fellows. is
his uncle. ...
Mr.. Joseph L. Jones, proprietor of the
Regalia company, says he has neither
brother nor sister. This man Jones is
said to have been very active of late
taking orders for the Central Regalia
company. He has canvassed, it is said,
in North and South Carolina, and dur
ing the latter part of September he was
seen in Georgia. Joseph L. Jones,
Bishop Joshua 81. Jones and Mr.. ]. a.
Needham say they do not know any
such man nor have they any relative
by that name or any one who owns a
half interest In the business Of Joseph
L. Jones. @
Messrs. Joseph L. Jones. Bishop J. 81.
Jones and Mr.. ]. 81. Needham are very
anxious to locate the man who makes
such business and family claims as are
alleged by the w. n. Jones referred to
in this article. Joseph L. Jones is the
chairman Of the executive committee
Of the National Negro Press associa-
ton, editor of the Fraternal Monitor

Ing both sexes, may be conservatively
estimated at 25,O00 and the number Of
injuries involving a disability of more
than four weeks, using the ratio Of
Austrian experience, at approximately
100000. .@
These numbers, impressive as they
are, fail to indicate fully the number
of industrial accidents. for such studies
as have already been made show that
Of the accidents Involving disabilities
Of one day and over at least three
fourths terminate during the first four
weeks.
"The injuries which contribute the
greatest number Of fatal accidents,
according to Science for Aug. 80, 1915.
are railroad empl0yments and agricul
tural pursuits, each group being re-
sponsible for approximately 4,200 fatal
tiles each year. Coal mining contrib
utes more than 2,6O0 and building and
construction work nearly 1900. Gen
eral manufacturing, while employing
large numbers, produces only about
1900 fatal accidents. IS
Wnen the IaCduty rdIeS are cOnSlu-
cred. metal mining ranks as most haz-
ardous, with rate Of four per thou
sand; coal mining comes next with a
rate of SO. and fisheries and navigation
following with a rate of three per thou.
sand.
Manufacturing industries as whole
rank lowest, with rate of OBS per
thousand. but the fact should not be
overlooked that this low average rate
covers manufacturing groups varying
widely in hazard, including on the one
hand boilermaking and the various de-
partments Of the iron and steel indus
try, In some of which fatality rates as
high as those in metal and coal mining
have prevailed, and on the other hand
the textile and clothing industries, In
some Of which the risk Of fatal acci-
dent is practically negligible.
These estimates, are derived from
the best sources available. AT the pres
ent time there are no entirely complete
and trustworthy Industrial accident
statistics for even single important
industry In the United States. This
lack Of trustworthy industrial accident
statistics is due to the absence Of any
uniform requirements In the various
states as to the reports of industrial ac
cidents."

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
ksen the Abdomen Warm.

Keep the Abdomen Warm.
Chilling of the abdomen Is a
cause of diarrhea. Unwholesome
foods and effectively cooked food
cause acute gastric indigestion in
those who eat them. and diarrhea
can hardly fail to occur, especial
ly If the bowels become chilled.
1t will be found of great comfort
and service to wind warm
woolen band around the abdo-
men to keep up the warmth in
digestive areas. A thin white
wool gauze strip of flannel about
nine inches wide WIN make nice
fitting, snug bandages. which will
never prove to be too warm, even
during the hottest day in sum-
mer. Persons who say they are
subject to summer diarrhea"
will be free from future attacks
II they wear a woolen bandage
day and night throughout the
summer season.

GOOD WORK OF THE LINCOLN
SETTLEMENT FOR CHILDREN.
Worthy Brooklyn Institution Succeeds.
Though In Need Of Funds.

The management Of the Lincoln set
tlement on Fleet place, Brooklyn, II
very much encouraged over the play.
ground facilities for the children Of tho
neighborhood. The grounds were in
spected recently at q public function
nounced by expert social workers to
be up to the mark In both management
and equipment
The institution has had hard strug-
gle for the past Ave years. The i'm
mediate friends of the settlement have
been loyal to 1t and have given hber-
ally Of their time and money for its
maintenance. About eighteen months
ago an appeal to the public was made
for funds with which to carry on the
work. The response was quite gener-
GUS. Through the efforts and influence
Of the officials a sufficient sum was
raised to put the building In flrst class
condition, making more room and bet
ter facilities for taking care Of the
large number of children.
The building Is under the direct su-
pervision Of DR.. v. Morton-Jones,
well known and capable physician and
social worker. Mrs. Jones has created
great .interst In the work and won
many friends to It's support. She is
assisted by other competent women in
looking after the various details In
connection with the day nursery,
games, etc.
Funds, however, are needed, and ths
public Of Brooklyn and any other cities
is asked to aid in this worthy work for
the little ones Of our race. The white
people have been very generous toward
the institution from its inception. The
building is located at 106 Fleet place.
