Ny Dear SIR
thank you very much for the several
cspAs of The Broad Ak which I have
just received. Your display of the ser
vice at Major Buekner's funeral is COM
mendable and want to congratulate you
on the comprehensive way in which it
is done.
Major Buckner's life was one well
worthy Of emulation and the respect and
honor paid to his memory was a deserv-
ing tribute to a worthy man. His life
was one of sacrifice for his race. He was
proud of his people. His ambition was
to see them take proud place in the
life of the nation. His every thought
was for their advancement morally and
materially. His numerous charities were
known to few. He was transformations
in his giving. Poor himself, yet always
giving of what he had to those who were
less prosperous than he His house was
open to his people night and day. His
advice and counsel were at their COM
mand. He was man Of brilliant intel
lect. His moral conceptions were to be
admired. He was friend whose friend.
ship knew no turning. He was modest
and unassuming, yet strong and foreeful.
He had opinions and the courage to ex-
press them. He was a credit to his race
and to his country. The tribute paid
to his memory on the day Of his public
funeral should be an inspiration to 9TH
ers to emulate his life example. He was
honest beyond words. His place will be
hard to fill. Let US hope that he has
gone to a just reward and that for all
sternity he will reap the fruits of his
labors here.
Very truly yours,

Dear Sir:-
1t has just come to my notice that il
your paper of November 18th, in al
article about Booker Washington, yor
quoted me as saying "Racial character
isties are in part responsible for DR.
Washington breakdown" and you fol
low this with remarks about race preju.
dice and narrow-mindedness on my part.
As doubtless you now know, DR.. Wash
ingtOn died of Bright's disease, and
think it very unfortunate indeed that
any reporter should have attached my
name to any such statement as you have
quoted. In the first place, DR.. Wash
ington would not have been sent to me
had I had such race prejudice, and in
the second, we all made a very serious
endeavor to save Booker Washington for
further usefulness.
He was given the best room in the
private patients pavilion at st. Luke Is
Hospital and this is considered one of
the finest paviliOns for private patients
in the world. gave my services with
out recompense as did DR.. Cole, the head
of the Rockefeller Institute Hospital
and the other physicians who were con-
suited.
I have no race prejudice of the kind
your article inferred and write to you
this letter with the feeling that it is
unfair to the Negro race to have that
impression 60 out. The reporters made
me say many things that I had not
thought of, but I did not know that
they had charged me with enmity until |
saw your article.
Very truly yours,

Red Cross Notes

Many inquiries have come into the
Red Cross rooms concerning Christ
mas boxes which may be sent to the
soldiers overseas, and in answer to
those questions the headquarters have
issued the following statement:
The war department wishes each
man to receive only one parcel OF
standard size and weight. To carry
out this plan, the army authorities
are distributing Christmas parcel lab
els to men abroad who will mail them
to their relatives and friends No
parcel will be accepted for mailing by
any postoffice unless it carries a label
received from man abroad.
A few days ago it was announced
that Red Cross chapters would pro-
vide cartons in which these Christ
mas parcels could be sent abroad, but
these cartons will not be ready for
distribution to local chapters until
the latter part of October, which, &C
cording to advices from our national
headquarters will give ample time for
parels to reach their destination by
December 25th.
The above statement was issued by
the department of publicity of the
Lake Division of the American Red
Cross and all persons interested in
the sending of these parcels should
heed this notice, as it may be regard
ed as authentic
The surgical dressing department
of the Richmond workshop of the Red
Cross will be open for workers on

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush This Through Faded, streaked
Locks and They Become Dark,
Glossy, Youthful.


Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. 1t is not intend
ed for the cure, mitigation or proven
ton of disease.-Adv.

Red Cross Aids Lace
Makers of Belgium
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Oct 3.-Lace making has
always been one of the chief industries
of Belgium and many Of those who
lived by it are among the refugees
who have left their country, some
$500 of the 10000 lace makers being
now in France and free Belgium. They
have met with great difficulties in
which the queen of the Belgians has
been one of their greatest aids.
The American Red Cross has now
given sum of 100000 francs, or some
$4,000 to be used as capital for sup
plying the peasant lace-makers with
the necessary raw material. The In
dustry is to be formed into co-opera,
tive society and the Red Cross dona-
ton will provide share of the stock
for each worker.
The scheme will insure fair price
for their lace as well as share in the
profits from the ultimate sale of 1t.
By disposing of the lace through an
official committee the lace makers
will also be saved from exploitation
by middlemen.

New York paid 1899, s7s, 900, of which
