According to statistics prepared
by Frederick L. Hoffman for "Spec-
tator," Memphis, Tenn, has the un-
enviable distinction of being the muir.
der metropolis of the United States.
More homicides were committed in
Memphis than in any other city in
proportion to the population.

WARNS AGAINST RACIAL HATRE,

WARNS AGAINST RACIAL HATRED.
1t is so unusual for a Christian
minister to preach against racial hat.
red that THE APPEAL is pleased to
note that one minister has the cour.
age of his convictions.
- In his sermon last Sunday, Rev. H.
b. Peabody, pastor of the South Con.
gregational Church, in Chicago, said
that racial hatred within the United
States is more dangerous than all Ger
mans outside this country.
DR.. Peabody likened the East St..
Louis massacre to the ATROCITIES of
the unspeakable Turk in Armenia"
The country's perils are not all on
the sea and beyond" said DR.. Pea
body. think of the moral earthquake
and volcano that has burst in the
midst of the land, in our own state,
since last we met.
who would have believed that a
massacre that reminds one of St..
Bartholomew night and of the atroci-
ties of the unspeakable Turk in Ar
menia, could, occur among our own
fellow-citizens in East st. Louis?
But, beware! The peril is nearer
than that. The mutterings of the VOL
cano are felt in Chicago. The single
explosion is not the most significant
thing. The race prejudice, contempt
and hatred, Notwithstanding be-
neath-these are the hell below-and
they find some lodgment in all our
hearts; God help us. ~
"There is far more danger to the
republic from race hatred within our
borders than from all the Germans
put together.
"Christian citizens of Chicago, think
this thing through. Try to make up
your mind beforehand what you will

INEXPENSIVE MEATS.

IDRAISED BEEF CIR POT ROAET lh Brown the meat on all surfaces, place in closely covered kettle or other receptacle with small quantity of water and Cavoring vegetables, su-h as onion, carrot, etc, and cook until ten der. Browning the meat helps to keep in the juices. The slow cooking in wa ter and steam makes for tenderness.
 Casserole Roast.-(A casserole may be improvised by using a heavy earth enware dish covered with a plate) Brown round or trump of beef in fat from a slice of fried pork. Place in casserole with Chopn2l carrot, turnip, onion, celery, etc, around it. Add two cupfuls of water or stock, cover and cook in hot oven three hours, basting.
 Stew With Dumplings.-AIake stew from small pieces of meat and vegeta- bles. cooking It on stove or in iirelGss cooker. Serve with dumplings made as follows: For stew using one pound of meat mix little more than one-third cupful of flour with one tea spoonful of baking powder and pinch of salt work in rounding teaspOonful of butter and mix with enough milk to form a medium stilf dough. Cut into small pieces and cook in q buttered steamer over kettle of boiling water or remove enough gravy from the stew to expose the meat and vegetables and place the pieces of dough on these sol i'd materials to cook.
 Meat Pie.-Meat pies are made most satisfactorily by first cooking the meat and vegetables as for a stew. Line a pan, earthenwar9 dish or casserole with biscuit dough rolled fairly thin, put in the meat, vegetables and gravy, cover with dough and bake In hot oven.
 Meat Turnoyers,-Place any chopped cooked meat available on circles of bis cult dough about the size of a saucer Fold the dough over the meat, crimp the edges and bake in a hot oven. Vegetables may be combined with the meat filling as desired, and the whole may be served with gravy,

Newbro's HeTpicide Is the only preparation that is fatal to tEe daEdruff germ. Without dan. druff there is no falling hair, but lux uriant growth of glossy, soft hair is car tain.

HARDING FIAOS
NEWYELLOWSTONE TRAIL

Clare Harding, Of this city, while a
singing evangelist, spent last summer
in Yellowstone Park as a guide. He
was the first man to ever reach the
top Of the lower Yellowstone Falls On
the side opposite the hotel. This was
quite an accomplishment in that it
gave tourists q view Of the Falls and
their 300 foot drop 70 the river below
that heretofore was impossible to Sc
cure.
Mr.. Harding went 70 the Park and
decided to spend the time guiding.
He saw the possibilities of a trail
across the stream from the hotel, so
set about locating one. This he did
successfully and before the summer
ended his trail was more popular than
that of the hotels, although the lat
the latter had been improved with
wooden steps and platform. The
special feature Of his trail was that
a view Of the full length of the Falls
could be had while the other trail did
not reach the brink by fully 10 feet.
Mr.. Harding was in Mexico Satur.
day on his way to Streetor, Ill, where
he will participate in a big meeting
He has been attending the Christian
Church convention in Kansas City ant
left Mrs. Harding there.

I've been a soldier for a week and I'm

This will be used to rent a piano, buy

make our barracks more like home
Our four commissioned officers gave
$40 each, several gave IS, and ever.
other mar in the company gave $3.50
Dues Of soc a month and other thing
will keep this fund up. Part Of this
goes on a mess fund SO that some.
times u mess sergeant can go odt
ia the open market and buy things t
eat on such occasions as Thanksgiv.
ing, Christmas, etc.
The Appeal came last night and
read it all, even the Final Settlement

DOCTORS TO
DRAW LOTS FOR SERVICE:

Fron every indication all the
young physicians in AndrSin eoany
vii be given an opportunity, backed
by the urgenee Of their professional
brothers. to enter the Medical Reserve
Corps Of the United States Army.
d.. r ". Berrey chairman Of the
Audrain County Medical Defense
Committee. received a leter Friday
in~str1eting him to call the physicians
Of the county together for the purpose
Of choosing seven from their number
as Audrsin's quota to this branch Of
the service.
The letter states that all physi-
clans in AudrAin between 81 and IS
years are eligible. That they must
have a good standing in their profess
sion as wen as be physically and NOR
ally perfect.
The plan Offered by the National
Committee is to place the names Of all
eligible in a hat and draw seven.
Those drawn viii be urged to enlist
in the Medical Reserve Corps. Or
course. If they cannot serve a furth-
er drawing win likely be made.
DR.. Berrey stated he would call a
meeting Of the physicians and act on
the matter as soon as possible.
Speed is urgently requested as the
supply Of doctors in the service at this
time is inadequate to take care Of
The army when they enter active
fighting. SO far. DR.. Berrey says,
Audrain has not supplied man to

NEIICOSOLDIERS UNDER
QUARANTINE At FUNSTON

Ledger Special Correspondent at
Camp Funston

Ledger Special
CAMP FUNSTON, Kan, Oct 90
Company y. SS4th IFf.. composed
mostly Of the members Of the Nation
al Army from Audrain county, are
under quarantine, because Private
Curtis Smith, from LAdd0nia, IS
thought to be suffering from spinal
menengitis. This is the second eass
Of the disease in the eantOnment, II II
should prove what the. physicians
think.
The other Ease reported was IN
Company A, in which Roy Bryarl?,
chas. Myers and Fred Peck, Of Mex
leo. are non-eOm. officers. Smith IS
being given the very best medical a.
,ention possible and his recovery is
expected.
While the men are under q~uaran-
tine they will not be allowed to write
home. The army regulations con-
corning such sickness are very strict
and there is little possibility that 9th
ers in the company will contract the
disease as every preeaution has been
taken to guard against its spread.
Company X, in which most OF tne
Audrain boys are, won a notable dis
tinction this week when they subscrib-
ed sufficient Liberty Bonds to make
their standing in the entire regimen;
second. Company NJ, which was first
in the number of bonds bought, TOOK
$15, 800 worth.
Because of their generous and lib
eral subscriptions to the Liberty Bond
loan, the men here received q holiday
Wednesday. There were regimentaI
competitive athletics and a foot ball
game as attractions.
