A Mans Dresser Drawers.

Every once in a while a man takes
everything out of his dresser drawers
and decides to have things in neat
order thereafter. He plans to have
one drawer for shirts and another for
ties and socks and smaller things and
he considers that after one careful re-
arrangement things won't get mussed
up any more. He says, always have
one small drawer for odds and ends"
In this drawer goes everything that
doesn't seem to belong anywhere else.
He usually takes this drawer out every
month or two and empties it on the
bed. There are no rare bugs or bean
shooters or frogs in it, but in many
other ways it resembles the first
pockets of his youth. The passion for
collecting odd trinkets is deeply rooted
in the male and when ha has OutgroWn
the pocket age he has Il dresser drawer
for the purpose. This drawer is a fine
place to look for the things you have
often seen around and can always
find except when you want them
badly. Go home tonight and take your
forefinger and poke around in the
drawer for something. The drawer
wont mind that. There is nothing it is
so used to.
Almost time to joke about the man
who tries to grow beets that look like
the picture on the seed package.

A flat war tax of three per cent or
more on the net profits OF all cor
porations is being suggested by OPP
ponents of the proposed excess profits
tax increase.
Feeling prevailed generally in the
committee that the income exemption
should be lowered and it's probable
that the secretary's suggestions of a
$4,000 exemption for single persons
and $4,000 for married ones will be
adopted.
Another meeting of the committee
probably will be held next week.

SECRET SOCIETIES AS AIDS
TO RACIAL. ADVANCEMENT
Views Of William A. Aery Of Hampton
Institute on Racial Welfare.

William Anthony 'Aery, head Of the
press service at the Hampton (Va.) in
stitute and also teacher, is always on
the alert to make known the best
methods and plans for the physical and
literary improvement of the Negro and
Indian races. Mr.. Aery not only keeps
in touch with the doings of the race
throughout its weekly and monthly
publications, but often attends the an
nual meetings of our organizations, So
cieties and educational institutions.
He is man Of broad vision and liberal
views. His work as a publicist and
teacher bears the stamp of experience
and efficiency. rs..,... s.~
/ Mr.. Aery carried the following article
in a recent issue of the Southern Work
man, the monthly magazine published
at the Institute:
"Secret societies are the channels
through which the Negro can best be
reached with information relative to
his health and sanitation. For this rea-
son, if for no other, every Negro who is
of proper age and is a good physical
risk should belong to some secret So
ciety, and every secret society should
have a bureau of health, with a most
capable physician in charge, to furnish
printed matter monthly or semi-month-
ly on topics Of health and sanitation
that most vitality concern mankind.
'4There are many communicable and
preventable diseases to which mankind
is heir that may be taverted by putting
daily into practice certain rules and
regulations in living.
"These rules and regulations should
be persistently taught by printed cir
culars issued to the members Of the Or
der by the health bureau. The Negro,
like many individuals Of other races,
has not learned the value Of fresh air
both day and night.
"There are so many ways in which
the Negro takes disease that could be
avoided, provided he was properly in
structed and would follow the instruc-
tibn. He is an easy prey in multi
plicity Of ways. He will purchase for
himself and family germ laden second
hand clothes. never giving thought to
the probability Of taking disease from
them. He will often eat food left by
others and will drink with Joy and sat-
isfaction from vessels and bottles used
by the sick or we'll, often taking dis
ease in this way. All of this comes
from ignorance.
"The secret societies are the organi-
cations to serve the race with enlfght-
eminent along this line, make better its
sanitation and increase its usefulness,
its wealth, its health and its respec-
liability"
