By Lindsay Cooper

ME influx of negroes to the
Northern cities in the last two
years was too sudden to be prop
crly handled everywhere. In we'll gov
erned cities the crisis was realized and
prepared for. In Detroit the manu-
facturcrs co0perated with intelligent
resident negroes in handling the situa-
tion. Other cities made similar efforts,
SO that for the most part the negro en-
ploye has not suffered.
There is, however, a reverse side Of
this fair medal, and that reverse bears
the blackened face Of East st.
Louis.
East st. Louis made no efforts,
either selfish or unsclhsh, to assist the
thousands Of negro immigrants in
adjustment to their new surround
ings. Industrially, she welcomed the
negro, and there she stopped short.
Her saloons and gambling houses
mulcted him. Her politicians pam
pered him. And on July 2, 1917, her
population butchered him.
The committee appointed by Con-
gress to investigate the matter of the
East st. Louis riots has recently con-
cludcd its hearings in East St. Louis
This committee was composed Of Rep
resentatives Ben Johnson, Of Kentucky;
Henry A. Cooper, of Wisconsin,; Martin
y. Foster, Of Illinois; John D. Baker, OF
California, and George a. Foss, Of I'LL
nois.
The inquiry brought to light many
facts which might otherwise have
never been known save to the com
parative few whose daily lives were
Immediately concerned. These facts
penetrate into avenues Of industrial
and commercial activity.
1t took q short time for the commit
tee to learn that interstate laws were
completely disregardcd during the riot
ings and to pass on to the question o.
the persecution Of the negro.

Here Is Some Fashion News.


The fashion editor OF the February
Woman's Home Companion says;
There's many a trick in being we'll
dressed. 1t is not Madam Spend the
most but Miss Up-to-date who makes
the best appearance. Watch your clothes,
keep your eye on the material, follow
the styles, and as soon as a garment
shows signs OF time and wear make it
over. For as long as there is garment
there is way of remodeling it.
THE shabby silk or satin skirt can be
covered with a georgette tunic If your
silk or satin skirt has worn threadbare
around the hips, match it in georgette
and make full gathered tunic OF
course, since all foundation skirts are
narrow at the hem, you will in all proba-
bility have TO take out some in the
width
Did you ever think of making a coat
into dress! II is more down to earth
than it may sound, for a coat, mussed at
the bottom and worn in the sleeves and
collar, that is no longer fit for coat, may
make a serviceable school dress. With
little alteration, the straight hanging box
coat can be used for a Russian blouse
dress. Rip the lining and sleeves ont,
finishing the armhole with facing, turn
a fresh hem and add perhaps a panel
of satin in front"

Vi YOU must have your meat every

which almost p@alyzes the kidneys IN

They become sluggish and weaken, then
you suffer with duh misery IN the KID

sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue Is coated and when the
weather is bad YOU have rheumatic
twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full oil
sediment, the channels often get sore
and irritated, obliging you TO seek RELIEF
two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, 10
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
bodys urinous waste, get four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine, This famous

of the sacrifices the other belligerents
have made, we cannot, in our state or
national pride, weaken at the little we
are called upon to bear at this time If
we fail to supply our allies with this
food, the war will be lost before America
will have an opportunity to win it. Food
alone cannot win the war, but without
it our money, our ships, our men, will be
helpless and useless. And until the next
harvest, the necessary supplies which
America must furnish must come out of
conservation. do not believe that in
Vermont there is any weakening, any
desire that we dodge our responsibilities
That would not be characteristic of the
people"
Mr.. Cushing also discussed the new
home regulations which call for two
wheatless days week, Monday and
Wednesday and one wheatless meal a
day; one meatless day, Tuesday, one
meal every day and two pork
less days in every week, Tuesday and
Saturday. He also urged the saving of
all fats, the making of every day
sugar saving day. the wise use of milk
and the abundant use of fruits, vege-
tables and potatoes. mo other one war
duty is so imperative at this time as the
close observance of all the rules of con-
servation and substitution. If the war
is lost because of food failure. it will
be Americas fault" Mr.. Gushing said in
closing.

Washington, Feb. 6.--Secretary Dan.
iels has authorized the statement that
the navy is assured OF enough transport
facilities to make sure that there will
be 500, 900 American troops in France
early this year as was stated by Sec

such as to warrant the expectation of
