man, Hamilton Jackson made himself easily the
most feared and famous individual in this island world
To his followers he is a god and king brnger OF
hope where there none before The planters see
him life and property; he is safe chiefly
because if anything happened to him every black on

Nor would time the blacks of st. Crox

whites. Always the land here has been owned by few

articles:

runaway shall lose leg if pardoned by his
master one and shall receive $50 stripes Slaves

OVERTONES- BY DR.. Frank Crane

In personal relations 1T is the overtones that
count
It's not what you say, for instance, so much
what you signify. Your gesture, your tone or
voice, your air. these strike deeper into me than
your words
The young lady may say she hates you, just
simply hates you; but IL she accompany this state
ment with a come hither look OF her eyes and slight
pressure OF the hand what matters the tone COM
pared with the overtones?
You may call me miserable rapscallion that
ought to be hanged; but IL you make q jovial grin
thereby and thump me playfully on the back am
hattered.
One woman said to another. speaking of a third,
IT think she's a good woman'--accent on the good.
And the other heard only the overtones of the
mark and answered II don't like her either" 4

she ought to be- yet IL you say of woman she is

to remember, the principal facts which every
body ought to know aids against Catching

emphasize that, according to the consensus of the
best medical opinion of today colds are always the
result of a germ infection.
You do not catch cold from wet feet or sitting
in draft, or over-eating over-working as many
people enormously suppose. Before you can have
cold specific germ must gain entrance into your
body.
But-and this is the most mportant fact for you
70 keep in mind in connection with colds-even IL
this germ does enter your body it will not
rily infict cold on you. Whether 1t will do this
not depends on the condition in which it finds your
body.
II your bodily vitality at the moment is low the
cold-causing germ easily makes you it's victim, and
you begin to sneeze and cough and feel uncomfort-
able generally. If, the opposite you are in good
bodily condition, it's power to harm you Is lessened
perhaps to nothingness.
Now, exposure to drafts. getting the feet wet
overeating, and over-working vitality lowering
conditions. Therefore they to be avoided not
because they will of themselves give you cold but
because they predispose you to catch cold II at
tackled by coid-causing germ.
For the same reason, particularly at the times of
year when cold-causing germs most in evidence
all vitality lowering habits are to be scrupulousy
avoided.

sharpest blow the United States can deal in the
near future of the war; supplying the Allies with
reserved amounts of money and credit will be the
most powerful. The financial and industrial re-
sources of this country are stupendous. The mere
increase in its banking resources during the last
sixteen months is billion dollars more than the
entire resources of the Bank of England and the
Bank of France combined, and is twice as great As
were the total resources of the German Reichsbank
plus those of the Bank of Italy at the outbreak of
the war For two and half years our country has
been waxing prosperous beyond all precedent, and
largely as result of the European war. The time
is at hand to dedicate to needs of democracy and
freedom whatever amount of this towering wealth
is needed.
If the United States enters the war, as now seems
inevitable and it should be prolonged for years We
would send to Europe as many millions of men as
might be needed to make the defeat of Prussan mill

import which though now in the shadowy back
