JANITORS UNION LAUNCH
SUCCESSFUL DRIVE FOR
INCREASE IN MEMBERSHIP

Last Sunday afternoon at their hall
in the Club building, 1871 Arapahoe
street. the members of the Janitors'
union of Denver, Colorado, launched
a successful drive for an increase OF
membership in their union. Presi-
dent Stricksel of the Denver branch
outlined the necessity for greater ef-
fort in the organization, which would
result in a great addition to the roster
of members as soon as the large body
of janitors in our city would be i'm
pressed with the idea of united serv-
ice. and oneness of action in a COM
mon cause. Many speakers, includ-
ing Messrs. Anderson, secretary of the
State Labor assembly; Houston, edl-
tor of the Labor Bulletin; Perrini,
president of the Trades Assembly;
Sontheimer organizer of the Cigar
makers union; Cummings, president
of the Steamfitters' union; Doyle, rep
preventative of the United Mine
Workers; C. w. Buford, representing
the Colored Janitors, and j. X. Law
son. president of the State Fedora

each emphasizing co operation and
promising the support of themselves
and their respective unions to the ad-
vancement and success of the JAM

Alfalfa as FIavorino Extract

Alfalfa is mighty useful plant.
Domestic animals, from the chicken
to the COW. find it gastronomically
available. But the notion of deriving
from Il fluid extract for the flavoring
of beverages and foods is altogether
novel. For this purpose the alfalfa is
cut and harvested when about fourteen
days old and eight to twelve inches
high. In this early stage of growth it
is relatively free from woody fiber
1t is washed in warm water and dried
by artificial heat, thus retaining its
natural flavor and light green color.
1t is then ground into tiny pieces and
boiled in vacuum pans, after which it
is filtered, to get rid of the solids. The
fluid thereby separated is mixed with
pure sugar sirup and bottled. In this
shape 1t is available as flavoring for
soda. 'odntain beverages, and even for
Bome iOods, as well as for chewing
gum and candies. Medicinal proper
ties are claimed for 1t.

Rouah on the Puppies.

The details of the snatching from
this life of four brindle Boston bulli
in the prime of their puppyhood wera
recited when Il woman reviewed her
married life in the court of domestic
relations in New York. "Only last
week." she said, "our bulldog, Ida, had
family that would have been worth
5000 If it had grown. My husband
went to veterinarian and the doctor
told him if they wouldn't take milk
out of n saucer to put some milk in
his own mouth, put nipple in his
mouth and feed them that way just
like dog fanciers do. AT first he didn't
even want to do it," "Well," said the
court land what has that to do with
the case?" Because when he did do
it, I tell you, the dogs died of alco-
holism."

THE AMERICAN NEGRO'S
LOYALTY.
BY LOWE ]. Penny,

Love and loyalty ever hast thou
shown
In both peace and war, though sore
ly oppressed,
Thy great valor to the whole world
well known,
Yet denied an equal chance" thy
lone request.
Praise Him Who judgeth the heart Of
man
Regardless of race, color or nation,
AS the Father, Who justly placed no
ban
On any man because of his station.
Though ebony-hued decreed by God
to serve
Thou didst not shirk but Loyalty
made amends,
Though chastened by Him, His love
will never swerve,
In all times of stress, sends He thy
staunchest friends.
Friends of whom greater the world
has never known
Revered in memory thy love mon
ument
And adown times endless trail, shall
thy own
Now in embryo proclaim them
Heaven sent.
Lord, grant the Negros foe long re-
prieve,
Though grievous wrongs he long
may have endured,
"Of one blood Nations all' they don't
Yet in Thy blessed Word, the fact
assured.
Think not bowed heart thy labor all
in vain,
Heralded is thy progress with rapt
surprise,
The wronged past forgive, strive hard
to obtain
Brotherly justice which now dor
mant lies.
Unrecompensed thy fathers toiled in
vain,
No legacy thine, thy salvation lies
In thrift and perseverance, which will
gain
The crown of success, merited
prize.
Praise, praise to thee for the SO noble
part
Thou has played beneath grim OPP
pression's rod,
Who so forgivingly hath borne scorn's
smart,
In some measure must be akin to
God!
