MANY NEGRO DOLLS BEING
SENT OUT.

Nashville, Tenn.--An announce
ment was made by the National Ne
gro Doll Company that their rush
season, which it usually has during
the Christmas, is just now on. This
is occasioned, declares the manager
of the company, on account of the de-
lay in the importation of material
from which these dolls are made. The
ship was caught and held as prize
of war and was only recently re-
leased, hence, the material did not
reach Nashville until Christmas day.
But the people, says the manager,
were so determined to have the size
doll 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 that
it was surprising to note that the peo-
pie wanted the dolls ranging in sizes
from SEVENTEEN to THIRTY
SIX inches. The orders are being
sent out rapidly. Many of the
churches have sent in orders for dolls
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.

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.

Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part OF
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
AS with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about a reform the woman
hood of the race must be- taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is-Sby nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really is ne too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is combination of all. She. allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street Her
home is a hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are theregore the freshest things in
the neighborhood They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their gang"
giggling. To speak to them is to
tHIOW IHdtSu iito HidSdLiiS ~
powder.
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble.
What we need is a new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and a new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young.
The wig wearing. gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.

WHY NOT BE FAIR WITH THE
NEWSPAPER MAN7

No one has an opportunity of learn
ing the characteristics of individuals
more than the publisher of race
paper, and no one has more varied
and peculiar experiences. There are
those who will pay the subscription
as regularly and as promptly as it
is due without delay or hesitation,
just as they would any other debt.
This is the desirable and welcome
subscriber. There is another class
who subscribe as willingly and will
pay the subscription at that time, but
it is almost impossible to collect it
again, for it is almost impossible to
find the individuals as they move from
place to place so frequently. Then
there is the responsible subscriber
who feels that he Is good for the sub
scription but never pays unless per-
sonal demand is made upon him for
it. This may ease his conscience, but
It is almost as difficult to collect his
subscription when it is needed most,
as it is to collect from the man who
is not responsible. Then there Is the
subscriber who imagines that every
one pays his subscriptions except him
self and that the publisher is well to
do and does not need the money. He
keeps the money in his pocket until it
is thawed out by first one process
and then another. Some subscribers
never intend to pay and by first one
subterfuge or another avoid payment
until the publisher in self-defense
must stop the paper and collect the
subscription by legal process when
this is possible. Really the sub
scribers to race papers should feel a
deeper interest in their success and
adopt the habit of paying for them
promptly, and in that way may tighten
the burdens of the publisher and in
sure better and more regular publica-
ton of the paper.-Kansas City Sun.

A Graceful Figure.


Quite often the figure of a pretty
girl Is spoilt by STOPPING shoulders. a
contracted chest or a careless, SLOUGH
ing gait. Yet by devOting little spare
time every day to some physical exer
cfses these evils may be overcome.
Many and various are the forms Of
calisthenics. The daily Use Of dumb
bells will strengthen all the muscles OF
the arms and chest and at the same
time promote free circulation of the
blood.
Then there is the expander. This Is
formed of strip of the very strong
est kind Of elastic, with loops or han
dies at each end to hold. 1t can easily
be made at home. 1t should be held in
both hands and be slowly expanded
and passed over the head. This tends
to develop the chest and strengthen
the back.
Exercises OF this sort should be per
formed regularly every day. and they
must be done steadily. slowly and
firmly.
Dress for any form Of muscular ex
ercise should be light, flexible and wool
len. No corsets should be worn, and
the bodice and underclothing must be
large enough to allow perfect freedom
Of the arms

tn. Hand, m Cold weather,


To preserve the hands in good con-
diti0n In cold weather they should,
whenever possible, be washed in tepid
water. and IL this is s0ftened by a
teaspoonful Of b0rax SO much the bet
ter.
Be sure to use soap of good quail
ty. and when drying the hands take
the precaution Of rubbing each finger
separately.
If the hands are rubbed over once a
day with slice of lemon and a little
cold cream OF If mutton tallow IL rub
bed into them thoroughly before going
to bed at night there will be little dan
ger of the skin becoming chapped or
rough.
Chapped hands are almost always
caused by insufficient drying after
washing or perhaps the water was icy
cold and very hard or used too, hot
Both extremes are bad for the skin.

Mllady's
Mirror
Avoid Nervous orimaeinp.

A great destroyer Of beauty lines
In the face is the nervous twisting Of
the lips and grimaces. Many women
are guilty of these when talking. They
are unbecoming habits and are the
means Of developing many ugly lines
and wrinkles that prematurely age one.
Times worry and habit are three
things that line the forehead with fur
rows and bring sagging condition OF
the muscles, especially affecting the
muscles under the chin. When these
muscles lose their elasticity the result
Ia the unsightly double chin.
The reason that burrows (wrinkles)
make their appearance on the counte-
nance Of an aged person is due to the
fact that the fat underlying the skin
becomes absorbed Consequently the
cuticle loosens and becomes wrinkled.
To remedy this condition gently mas
sage these parts with good skin food;
then before retiring adjust forehead
band which has been anpointed with
skin food. This should be worn each
night
Sagging cheek muscles may be
strengthened and contracted with mas
sage and an astringent lotion and. as
has been said before. tightly bound up
overnight with band-either muslin
or rubber.
In regard to premature wrinkles
caused by worry or habits. they should
not only be treated with massage, as
previously directed, but one should
learn to control the muscles to obtain
a calm and pleasant expression. which
Is great aid to beauty.
