Plea From Mrs. F. Nelson Andrews for Home for Negro Boys Calls Forth Enthusiastic Approval From
 Mrs Rosalie Chapman, Who Makes Fine Suggestion

1 Among many communications which l have received since the story with Mrs. Andrews appeared none has been more keenly sensitive to the main issue than a letter from an unknown acquaintance who in her neat, aristocratic handwrit- ing. signs herself, Rosalie Chapman.
 If one is to judge of a persons char acter by their chirography, and the good taste shown in stationary and the alto gether charming air of requirement. in the expression of ideas, then I should say Mrs. Chapman is undoubtedly woman worth while; one who is in terested in her fellow men and whose word carries with 1t a great deal of influence and importance.
 Mrs Chapman writes me from 2219 Seventeenth avenue south. as follows:

Hazle Green Friends Send
 Aid to Miss Jaquin, Who
 Cannot Cash Her Checks

Huntsville, July 6.-(Special )-Friends of Miss Charlotte May Jaquin of Hazle Green have recognized in her the woman of the police of Cincinnati through in- ability to become identified and cash ne- gotiable notes and papers amounting to $60o She is about 50 years old and has resided on farm near Hazle Green prac- tically all her life. The first news of her distress came to Huntsville in a newspaper special dispatch and as she was not well known in Huntsville 1t was difficult to trace her. The facts were published and Hazle Green friends im- mediately began to volunteer their serv- ices in her behalf. She recently sold her interest in the family farm at Hazle Green and went to Florida, then returned to Huntsville for short visit eShe had about $70o then and spoke of going to Cincinnati. She acted strangely and it is believed by her friends that she is de- mented. She could certainly have taken care of herself had this not been a fact, it Is stated. Her only known relative Is a niece. The father and mother of the family moved to Hazle Green from Ohio  short time after the Civil war. The father was a veteran of the union army and the whole family. father, mother and two daughters, were known as a thrifty Yankee family"

 "ROSALIE CHAPMAN"
 Certainly, after reading the following suggestions from Mrs Chapman, which accompanied her very nice note to me, we will all realize that the people of the south are doing their bit for their negro neighbors; one thing is proven exclusively by these splendid humani- tartan women like Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Chapman, and that is that no East St. Louis performances are taking place in this section of the country, and that the sooner the negro realizes that his best friend is his southern white friend, the better off he will be.
 Mrs. Chapman writes as follows:
 Seeing Mrs. F. Nelson Andrews ap- peal for the young negro boys of Bir- mingham and a suitable home where, at normal cost, they can get bath, food and lodging, may suggest com munity house?
 'I have in mind just such home es- tablished in the city of Huntsville, un- der the supervision of one Huggins and wife
 This home, like all good enterprises, was begun on a very small scale, and is proving not only a boon to the ne- gro boys and girls of Huntsville, but to the community as well in the eff cheney and willingness of those who have come under it's influence.
 This community house now has the support of Miss Virginia Mccormack as well as contributions from citizens and city.
 They have reading rooms bath, instruc- tion in shorthand and typewriting.
 The girls are taught cooking and how to make efficient servants.
 These courses are given at night as well as in the afternoon, and membership fee of $1 per month is charged.
 It has aroused an ambition in the younger negroes of the city and the inn provement in department and efficiency is already very perceptible.
 The employment bureau obtains work for the unemployed and those desiring lodging and food can obtain same at a cost of 50 cents per night
 They have begun a fund for Young Mems Christian association also.
 All together 1t has aroused get-to- gether spirit between the white and col ored popualtion of Huntsville, which fully demonstrates the fact:
 "We are our brothers keepers, be they white or colored."
 We are told that all good desires for getful of self, bring forth much fruit.

THE HOUSEHOLD
 EDITED By ANNE RITTENHOUSE

Fresh fruits are, perhaps, receiving more attention than ever this summer. For all of us realize that fresh fruits are cheap They are cheap in more ways than one. Of course, they are actually cheap when they are grown near home. But more than that. they are perishable and. therefore. it is true economy to eat them. For if we eat them we are saving something that can be transported. something that will help keep us and the rest of hun gering mankind from feeling the pinch next winter.
 So greet each new summer fruit with enthusiasm as 1t comes, and sec to it that 1t is served generously on your table.
