ly today.
They refused to take out any more
cars unless they were paid more
money or given runs north of Market
street, where there are fewer bricks
and more fares. A complete tie up of
the car lines south of Market street
resulted.
Police were called, but withdrew
when the strike breakers barricaded
themselves in the barns and refused
to be ousted. A "loyalist" group of
strike breakers, imported from New
York and led by Jack Cohn, profess
sional strike breaker, also failed to

SAVE FOOD.

Lest we forget! We are at war, and
it is not a mere outing like the Span
ish-American War-but a serious war
in which the little things that each
person is asked to do will prove of as
special Importance as the larger ones.
rifices, so that the larger sacrifices
will not be necessary.
If one-half of all the Colored fam
lilies in the United States would use
one teaspoonful of sugar less in their
tea and coffee one day each week. this
little sacrifice would result in the saw
ing of 100000 pounds of sugar a
year. Sugar is a necessity in this
war. If one-half of our families would
use one pound of flour less each week,
it would have 100000 bushels of wheat,
which could be sent to help feed our
soldiers and those who are fighting by
our side in this war
The Tuskegee Normal and Indus
trial Institute has produced a bread in
which sweet potatoes take the place
of some of the wheat flour. This
"Tuskegee bread" is now being made
at various schools, both white and
colored, and it is stated, has caused
saving at Tuskegee of 200 pounds
of flour each day. This "Tuskegee
bread" is a contribution to the war of
which we can all feel proud, and is
placed to our credit in the same way
as the splendid work at Des Moines.
Just as Tuskegee has done definite
thing to help our country, so the Gov
ernment expects that the churches,
lodges and schools will likewise make
their definite contribution. If you
want to know what to do, or should
you have reports to make, communi-
cate with A. U. Craig, United States

How about your garbage can? A re-
cent investigation as to the waste of

decrease in the waste of food stuffs.
The garbage collector of Washington,
D. c., finds so little garbage to be
collected that he has refused to enter
into a contract with the city, giving
as a reason, therefore, that there is
so little garbage collected and his
terms of selling it are so small, that
he is compelled to charge more for col
lecting the garbage.

In, view of the fact that living has
increased $50 per cent in the last IS
months, the Colored working women
of Kansas City have organized into
what is known as the Day Workers
Industrial Union, under the American
Federation of Labor for 80 per cent
increase of wages, thus receiving $2.10
per day instead of $1.60 per day. The

IMPERIAL PoTENTATE HERE.


Imperial Potentate ]. M. Morris of
Minneapolis, Mimi, presiding over
the Shriners of North and South
America paid an official visit to AL
lah Temple No. 6, last Wednesday
evening and was given a royal recep-
ton. Nearly a hundred mobiles in full
costume were in attendance, and a
most enjoyable evening was spent.
The annual election of officers of AL
lah Temple was held resulting in the
reelection of old officers with Noble
d. c. Houston as Illustrious Poten-
tate. The Imperial Potentate gave
most instructive and highly enjoyable
address which was received with
much enthusiasm by the Mobiles as
sembled and answered many ques
tions bearing upon the work of the
es, delightful luncheon was served
by the FIR. ]. Middleton Catering Co.
and all left in the wee hours of the
morning declaring 1t one of the most
enjoyable affairs Allah Temple had
ever had. While here the Imperial
Potentate was the guest of P asst
Grand Master, N. c. Crews at 1924
Highland Avenue. He left Thursday
evening to visit the Temple at st.
Joseph, Mo-, carrying with him the
best wishes of the membership of AL
lah Temple.

way it is possible now for the con-
sumer to get his food at the same
price that the retail stores purchase.
Potatoes are now being sold by the
pound, which is the only fair way to
the seller and buyer At the rate of
sixteen pounds for forty cents, the
cost per bushel is one dollar and fifty
cents.
If you are paying a price you think
is too high for fuel or food take the
matter up with your Federal Fuel Ad-
ministrator, your Federal Food Ad-
ministrator, or their agents, in your
town.
Now is the time to make Christmas
candies. There are many good recipes
for making candies by using molasses
and syrups instead of sugar. Use a
little less sugar now because of the
fact that we are at war, and that su-
gar, which is a luxury for us in the
form of candy, is food which soldiers
fighting in Europe must have.
There is plenty of coal, but the rail-
roads are not able to ship as much
coal during war times, because of ex-
tra demands for the transportation of
soldiers and war material. Hence the
Fuel Administration asks persons not
to use coal for heating any rooms not
in constant use. Be saving with coal
and gas; use wood as much as pos
sible.
