WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question is asked every day.
A cold IS really a fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fatfoods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the system better
able to Withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why
SCOTS Emulsion should always be
taken for colds, and it does more
builds strength to prevent sickness.
SCOTS Emulsion contains Natures
rare strength-building fats, so skillully
blended that the blood profits from

Although committee of the Cham

Albion F. Clark, representing the AID

EDITOR A. D. GRIFFIN PASSES
AWAY.

Editor A. ID. Griffin of the Kansas
Elevator Co., one among the best
known Negro men in the state of Kan
sas, died Thursday, June list, at 2
p. m, while sitting at his desk in his
office arranging his mailing list.
Since the early days of Kansas pol
itics and Negro journalism, Mr.. Grif-
fin was always on the firing line,
championing and advocating those pol
icies and principles that he thought
were right for the best interests of
the race.
To say the least of him, he was a
dreamer and hoped and labored for
the day when his race would no long
er be termed black men, but Ameri
can citizens along all lines that the
word might express. He was untirine
as a worker, conscientious to a fault
| and an unrelenting fighter for those
things that he believed right We can
not say that we agreed with many oi
| the things that he eXpoused, neverthe
less, we always admired his valor ano
courageousness. In politics he was
Democratic, and felt that it was the
| party of hope for the Negro race
For some years he was business man
| ager of the Topeka Plaindealer, ant
| it was while holding that position
that he was a candidate to the higl
office of the recorder of deeds of the
District of Columbia. And he be
lieved even up until the time of his
death that he would be appointed tc
| the same.
In the prime of life with his boots
on and in the very whirl of things, the
! great editor of the universe entered
that little office in the city of Kansas
| City and called him from his labors to
reward.-Hutchinson Blade.

PUPILS OF MISS BELL DE AUTER.
MONT IN PIANO RECITAL
SHORTER CHURCH.

On Monday evening last, fairly
large and appreciative audience greet
cd the pupils of Miss de Autremont
III their Summer Recital at Shorter
A NJ. E. Church and showed their ap-
probation for local talent in form
OF development that can only result
from faithful and patient training.
1t can be said without any fear or
attempt to boast, that this teacher of
piano takes an extraordinary interest
in her pupils, and the exhibition of
touch and technique with the inter
probation of the compositions wit
messed by critical audience proved
beyond a doubt that in Denver we
have "a mine of wealth untold" If
parents and guardians would only en-
courage their children to remain with
such teachers until qualified, there is
every reason to predict brilliant
musical career for our young citizens.
The Colorado Statesman wishes
abundant success for Miss de Autre-
mont and her class and hope to have
another opportunity of hearing such
delightful music.

THE ZION CHURCH.

A splendid day was the experience
for the congregation last Sunday. The
pastors sermon in the morning was
both inspirational and corrective. The
entire service was made tender by
the presence of the Spirit. Two per-
sons united to the membership during
the day. The special offering lacks
a few dollars of reaching the $1,000
mark. There are yet other offerings
TO come in. Such generosity at a
time of financial stringency is char
acteristic of the Zion people.
The Sunday school picnic is set for
the third Thursday in the month of
July. This outing will be fully up to
former years. Sports of various kinds
and classes will make up the pro-
gram Next week full announcements
will be made.
The Western Baptist Association
will meet with the Central church
next Tuesday evening, June Goth, con
tinuing till Friday night. The pro

those who will attend. The public is

This year, in the month of August
Zion will celebrate the 50th year oi
its organization with week of ac

this section of the country. An his

THE coLoRED CITIZENS LEAGUE

The league, being jubilant over the
nomination of the Hon. Charles Evans
Hughes and Hon. Charles Warren
Fairbanks, passed resolutions unani-
mously supporting them in the COM
ing campaign at meeting held last
Wednesday evening at their head
quarters, 1866 Washington street.
Members declared that this was one
of the most enthusiastic meetings held
by the league, and began to realize
the wisdom of working harmoniously
by placing them foremost among the
very limited number of organizations
that stand for the general welfare of
the people in the city and state. The
good work that is carried on by the
league is coming in for greater recog-
milton, as it interests itself in every
phase of activity among the people.
While the political questions OF the
country, state and city are taken up
and discussed yet there are other is
sues as important which engage the
minds of the members.
