THE TOBACCO .liniT.

The increased interest in drug prob
lens has led to closer scrutiny Of the
most commonly used of all drugs
tobacco. Dr. Evans, writing in the
Chicago Tribune, points out that while
every tobacco user acquires certain
tolerance of nicotine that enables him
to resist it, there Is always limit be.
yond which it is perilous to go. There
arc some surprising and instructive
facts about that limit
Men vary in their tolerance. Tol-
erance is least in boys during Adde'S
cence and in men past A. In addition
to variation in susceptibility due to
age, there is sex variation Men
stand more than women There is ra-
cial variation. Turks and Spaniards
stand more than Americans. Then
there is individual variation Some
men arc affected by a email daily dose
kept up for but few years Others
can stand much more, for a longer
time.
Akin to individual variation Is fam.
lily variation. 1t runs in certain fami.
lies to be tolerant of tobacco, whereas
members OF other families begin to
show the effects Of tobacco poisoning
before they are &c years Of age
Che OF the most common and yet
least recognized effects Of tobacco is
weakening OF the vision One author.

Elephants Fear of Mice,

The reason why one tiny mouse is
capable OF soaring a whole herd of Gle.
phantS half to death is found in the
fact that in the elephants native land
there are little animals known as cha
canas, which feed on a small SOUR Der.
~ OF which elephants are very fond.
Ihey live III settlements, something
after the manner Of prairie dogs, under
the berry bushes, and sometimes when
feeding the elephants trample upon the
little towns, and the chacanas in their
fright frequently run up the tubes of
the elephants trunks. Their lorg.
sharp claws catch in the flesh, ana they
cannot be elected The more violently
the monster blows through It's trunk
the more firmly the hooked claws OF
the little animal become imbedded IN
the flesh, and inflammation ana death
are the result. In captivity, therefore.

MEHARRY DENTAL ANNEX.


Our new dental annex was dedicat-
ed October 10Th. 1t is placed on the
west side of the old dental building,
and is connected with it. 1t has a
stone foundation, is constructed Of
brick and is three stories in height,
including basement; forty-eight feet
long and thirty feet wide. The upper
story is to be used as Dental Opera
tory, and the second for Junior labora-
tory work. A sufficient number of
dental chairs has been procured to
accommodate all the patients who
may present themselves for clinical
work in the future. The building is
now in use.
A partition has been erected extend
ing the entire length of the old Ope-
ratory. the South division to be used
for Prosthetic work and the North
divided into three sections; one for a
dressing room, the next for an eX-
traction room and the remainder
fitted up with dental lathes for the
use of the senior class for labora-
tory purposes.
The new operatory is supplied with
gas and compressed air and in addi-
tiou to the windows on the three
sides has large skylight which fur
nishes an abundance Of light for the
middle of the room. The floor is
covered with Battleship linoleum.
Because Of the heroic struggle nee
essary to complete the requirements
for medical education, there is i'm
planted within the heart of the sue.
cessful aspirant love and devotion
for those who assist, akin to hero
worship.

laid save the one already laid"
G) The popularity of the princt-
ples Of the Baptist church, they are
unimprovable, they can not be i'm
proved, men have destroyed the rule
Of their churches trying to relay the
foundation of these principles.
GU The principle of receiving
members into the church. This is
one of the most particular rules. No
person can do the church harm until
they are received into the member
ship. This principle debars everybody
from its membership but believers.
Remember brother minister, listen,
you cannot read people into the
church but they must be born again.
SO many churches have grown to be
ice cold in view of the fact they have
abhored this particular part of the
distinctive principle of the church.
CD A majority rule in anything,
let member be ever so poor or so
rich his vote only counts one. Our
denomination is divided today from
the District to the National, all be-
cause certain men have attempted to
over ride this particular principle,
but brother il will not work because
God is against you. My text says. no
greater foundation can be laid than
the one already laid, which is Jesus
Christ
(4) An uncompromising principle.
Some of our brethren have ceased
firing and are now seeking compro-
| mise, but the principles of the Baptist
church are uncompromising, Fight
as long as you can see an enemy.
When Christ conquered enemies or
earth he sought Others down in hell.
(5) Principle of baptism. This
seems to be a more particular prin-
ciple in view of the fact Christ ex-
pressed this principle by going
through the real act. First he went
to Jordan. There was no cause for
him to go to Jordan if sprinkling
would have done. Next he came
straightway up out of the water that
was uncalled for, if pouring would
have done. So the true principle OF
baptism is a burial in water by a
Baptist preacher.
CO. Our principles is to fight and
Sight to win. Our assurance of win
ming is we have a winning captain,
his ammunition never gives out, he
fights with water, fights with hail,
ights with poverty and disease.

all and draw our bounty.

n. A. A. C.P. TO DE-
FEND DR.. |. BUNDY
ACCUSED OF EAST ST. LOUIS
MURDER-OUTCOME OF RIOTS
NEGROES BOTH SUFFERS
AND VICTIMS IN AFFAIR.

New York, Nov. 2S.-lSpecial to
the Glibe THE National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie has just won a tremendous vic
tory for the American Negro in the
unanimous decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the Louis
vile Segregation Case, but the Asso-
citation does not intend to stand still
upon that victory. 1t has already I'M
dertaken fight Of almost equal I'M
portance, the fight of securing for the
colored men accused and convicted
Of murder in the East st. Louis riots
a fair trial and every benefit under
the law to which they are entitled.
The Association is undertaking this
fight not only in behalf of the indi-
vidual men concerned but in order
that the blame of being the initial
cause of the horrors which took place
at East ST. Louis shall not be shifted
upon the Negro race.
Although the colored people at Il.
st. Louis were sufferers and vic
tins, several hundred of them hav-
ing been beaten and killed, the re-
suit of the legal process thus far has
been the conviction of ten cOlored
men with sentences of fourteen years
each in the penitentiary. On the
other hand, two or three white men
have been convicted and given long
sentences, only a few days ago three
of the white men charged with riot
ing were sentenced to thirty days
each, a sGntnce which in some parts
Of the country is often imposed for
being merely drunk and disorderly.
Great interest now centers around
the trial of D. Leroy Bundy. Dr..
Bundy is a prosperous dentist and
one of the most prominent colored
men OF East st. Louis He is charged
with melting riot and murder, and it
is declared that the State will ask
for the death penalty inl his case.
The National Association has already
taken steps to secure the very best
legal defense possible for DR.. Bundy
and will spare no efforts or expense
TO give him fair trial and the full
est protection under the law.
DR.. Bundy's case is not merely an
individual case. 1t is in a large
sense the case of the entire race, and
so the Advancement Association
makes a national appeal for co-opera'
ton and funds to assist in the ie
fense of DR.. Bundy. Already the st
Louis Branch, from the day immedi
ately following the riots, has been
doing magnificent work The Branch
has raised and expended, for the
benefit of refugees, in collecting evi
dence against the rioters, and in de
Tending Negroes who were accused
almost $4,000. The st. Louis Branch
is still putting forth every effort with
the National Association standing be
hind i and working through it.
DR.. Bundy's trial begins this week
It is trial in which every good
citizen, every lover of law AMI order
and true democracy, should be inter
ested To all such, the National AS
sociation for the Advancement %
Colored People makes this appeal

tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, 70 Fiftf

The readers of the paper will call
to mind, for more than ninety days,
the columns of the paper have been
luu Of urgent appeals to the Baptist
Progressive forces to find their way
to Helena on the 2lst inst, for the
purpose OF holding our annual and
educational and Missionary meeting.
From the time that the meeting ad-
journed 1T Little Rock, Ark, one
year ago, to the convenng at Helena,
on the above named date, efforts
were begun throughout the state and
most especially in Eastern Arkansas,
by the Negro Baptist press and also
by various other methods to create
such a tremendous foul influence
and to set us such stubborn oppo-
sition, until it would be impossible
as well as improbable for the COnven-
tion to have any degree of success in
its endeavOr to prosecute the princi-
Piles of Jesus Christ and his kingdom.
But at this writing the scribe of
these few lines is very pleased to tell
the reading Baptist world that the at
tempts to make the meeting failure
through false statements and MIS-
representations, utterly failed. The
loyal workers of said convention
throughout the state where our con-
vention has representation and
standing needed the call and on
Wednesday morning, President, Dr.
of the greatest Baptist Conventions
j. P. Robinson, was delighted to cal
to order what the writer regards one
for peace and harmony and construc.
