100000 NEGROES READY TO FIGHT.

The following Associated Press dis
patch was published throughout the
country last week:
Tuskegee, Alabama.-When informed
by an Associated Press representative
today of the killing of II Negro
soldiers, Emmett j. Scott, Secretary of
the Tuskegee Institute, called attention
to the fact that eighteen years ago when
war was declared with Spain that the
late Booker T. Washington, Principal
of Tuskegee Institute, called upon the
Negro people of the United States, and
particularly upon Tuskegee graduates
and former students, to volunteer for
service in defense of their country.
Hundreds of Negroes followed this ad-
vice. Secretary Scott states that there
are a dozen or more Tuskegee gradu-
ates and former students in Mexico
now as members of the various Colored
regiments. Negroes" he states,
"win rally to the defense of their
country now as they have always done.
As the first American soldier to lose his
life in Mexico, March "a of this year,
was Negro, so the first man killed in
the Revolutionary War was a Negro.
The Negro people take pride in the
fact that it was the charge of Negro
troops at San Juan Hill in the Spanish
American War that turned tide there,
and that Negroes have fought gravely
in every war in which this country has
engaged. The Negro was with Jackson
at New Orleans, with Perry on Lake
Erie, and 100000 Negro soldiers served
in the Civil War.
"The Negroes of this country" he
states, twill be no less patriotic at
this time than in former periods of
stress and storm. The Negro possesses
patriotism that rises above injustices
and wrongs. He is American through
and through. The President will find
no hyphenates among US. The Negro
has never faltered in defense of his
country; he will not falter now. If
President Wilson desires to employ
sturdy Negroes to defend the flag, he
can be assured that hundred thousand
and more are at his disposal"

With this competent force, the ad-

Only a sufficient appropriation by the

of the best, if not the best admins

VACATION HINTS.

The vacation season is here and from
now until September thousands of Chi
cago people will be resting and rusti-
eating at numerous resorts in the near
by states on their summer outings.
Many of these resorts are beautiful
and attractive places with plenty of
fine, fresh, wholesome food and sani-
tary surroundings.
This cannot be said, however, of all
summer resorts; although the number
of properly conducted places of this
kind is constantly increasing. 1t is
an encouraging sign that summer resort
keepers are learning that it pays to
keep their places clean and safe, as
well as outwardly attractive. There
are still, however, some resorts that,
while they have beautiful scenery,
good fishing and good food, yet they
also have plenty of flies, polluted water
and bad sanitary conditions. And be-
cause this is true, here are some things
that those who are intending to spend
their summer away from Chicago should
look into, in connection with selecting
places where they are to spend their
summer vacation. Here they are:
Water Supply-Water taken from
shallow wells, located near barn or
clubhouse, is certain to be polluted and,
therefore, unsafe to use. Also waste
water from the well is allowed to drain
back into it, tends to make it unsafe.
Toilet Arrangements un-
screened privy vaults, together with
swarms of flies, render eating in the
vicinity a hazardous undertaking.
These conditions, especially apply to
many picnic grounds around and near
Chicago, where picnic parties spend
their days outings and eat their lun-
ches in the open air. Flies inhabit
privy vaults and are fond of picnic
lunches.
Sewage and Drainage-If the sum-
AlcI 4SoO1G yOu NAolO hoo 0O"SAo oAN
drains its sewage, untreated, into a
stagnant pool or lake and is taking its
water supply from the same lake or
uses shallow wells near the same, it is
a pretty good place to stay away from.
Also when you 60 in bathing, be care
full to notice that no drains or sewers
empty their contents in the near vicin-
ity.
Garbage Disposal-At some resorts,
especially the smaller ones, garbage
and refuse of every kind are hauled
only a short distance away from the
cottages and dumped in the open to
breed flies and pollute the air. The
properly conducted summer resort,
either buries its garbage or burns it.
Finally, if the general sanitary con-
ditions are bad, hunt a place where
they are good. As a matter of course
all doors and windows should be
equipped with screens. 1t is better
to be safe than sorry.

escape high blood pressure, cut out

highballs and an excessive meat diet
Dig in your garden and walk several
miles day.
A diet too hearty is as harmful as
starvation, though slower in its evil
effects.
Eat heartily and freely of meat
diet only when you are to engage in
vigorous exercise of the body. The
mind does not act well on a full stom-
ach.
In hot weather you want to be pos
sessed of a cool head. Don't overload

The Affairs of the In
.dustrial Board of Illinois
Are Ably and Judicially
Handled by the Present
Board of Commissioners

| and he is one of the last to leave In
the evening-A big, broad-shouldered,
broad-minded, big-hearted man is Mr..
Robert Eadie.
Mr.. Eadie, who is a native of San
CANON County, was. first appointed to
the Board in December, 1913. He is a
member and worthy representative Of
the United Mine-workers of America,
probably the largest organization Of
the kind in the world. Like the other
members of the Board, Mr.. Eadie is
easily accessible. He never hides from
anybody, anytime. He is always will
ing to see any person who may have
business with his Office. If any one
has any doubt as to whether he knows
the Compensation Law, let him read
one of Mr.. Eadie's opinions.
So, too, is the employing element just
as well taken care of in the person of
gentleman who stands very, very
high in the estimation of all with whom
he has come in contact. He is one Of
the most widely known political charac-
tiers in Chicago and enjoys the high
esteem of the members of all parties
alike. Governor Dunno made no mis-
take in the appointment of Mr.. Peter
]. Angsten.
Mr.. Angsten is a business man Of
large holdings, having taken up where
his father left off, in the cooperage
business, in which he has made good
until now he ranks as one of Chicago's
most successful business men. Abso-
lutely independent of any political
emolument, he goes about his work as
seriously, earnestly and conscientiously
as though his very existence depended
upon his status as commissioner of the
Industrial Board. It is not claimed for
him that he is infallible. He is, if
anything, but human. He may make
mistake. But if he does, his friends
have the satisfaction of knowing that
it is positively unintentional. Mr.. Ang-
stem is known far and wide to be hon.
est in his convictions.
And then there is the place on the
Board filled by one who represents
neither the laboring nor the employ
ing class-a man whose knowledge of
the law no one questions. A practition-
er, jurist, an arbiter worthy of the
steel of the best of them; who lives in
and thrives upon his work; a credit
to the present administration and to
the State of Illinois is Judge J. B.
Vaughn.
As chairman of the Industrial Board,
he occupies a very conspicuous place
in the affairs of the people of this great
commonwealth, the vast majority of
whom are compelled to labor with their
hands in the process of elang out an
existence. One can readily see and
understand why. Judge Vaughn has
been delving into the Corpus Juris
Civilis since early manhood, and
every attorney who has had occasion
to appear before the judge, respects
him as lawyer and a jurist, and has
come away impressed with his fairness
as man. He ranked as a very worthy
contemporary of the Hon. Mr.. h. s.
Tanner, his distinguished predecessor.
In speech before the Central Supply
Association on February 25th of last
year, the judge said, "I am always
conscious that I may do somebody an
irreparable wrong" This is within
itself sufficient to establish the con-
scientious character of the man.

SECRETARIATE-BIG JOB.

The most important position on the
Board, after the commissioners, comes
the secretary, who, in the course of a
day, probably answers more questions,
explains more propositions of law and
questions of procedure than any other
man in any other department in the
service of the state. His duties are.
certainly, to say the least, the most
exacting imaginable. He must be a
man who can feel the pulse of the peo-
ple-employee and employer alike; he
must know the law; he must make no
mistake.
Mr.. W. v. Conley, the present in
cumbent has filed that Office since the
incipiency of the Board, and discharged
his duties to the satisfaction of all
concerned. He helped to set the ma
chinery in motion and has materially
assisted in keeping it going. He is fair
and honest, and at all times ready and
willing and anxious to cooperate with
anyone having legitimate business in
his department. Mr.. Conley has had
long clerical and executive experience,
all Of which admirably tend to ct him
for the important position. he knows
men; he has that knowledge Of human
nature indispensable in this work.
