Hot summer days upset the
strong stomachs as well as weak
ones.
Your vital forces reach their
lowest level when the weather is
the hottest. Then the danger is
the greatest.
You can't guard your stomach
and bowels too carefully through
the long, hot season. Don't take
any chance. Indigestion, sour
stomach, that wretched, bloated
feeling, belching, food repeating,
pains that claw at stomach and
bowels and an endless train of
stomach ills that make life mis-
cradle are greatly aggravated In
the hot weather.
This year of all others-it is
vital that we keep our strength
and full power at work. The ex-
ira war work, change of detail
must be looked after because they
hit us in the stomach. And now

The old farmer had read the repeat
ed warnings about keeping his knowi-
edge to himself during the war, lest
information of value might get into the
ears of a Hun spy. So when an affabie
stranger approached him with smile
and looked like he would enjoy lit
tie commonplace conversation, the old
fellow was ready for him.
Looks like it would rain, doesn't

"It's looked like that afore, an

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.


Chicago.-The largest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history of the world-99, 100000
pounds of bacon and 134,000,000 pounds
Of canned meat-has just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department,
q. S. A, for the American Army over
seas.
Louis F. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1,9OO,-
600 hogs, and If other work were
dropped to produce it, would be equiv
alent to the total bacon production of
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five weeks. However, six months
will elapse before delivery is to be COM
pleted. Mr.. Swift said:
"At the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $80,000000 for
the necessary hogs and owe" $50,00O,OOO
for about 100000 cattle required. The
cattle will cost us twice as much, and
the hogs two and one-half times as
much as in the pre-war period.
The whole order will be made up be-
fore the first of the year, despite the
fact that, even before this purchase,
one-fourth of the packers facilities
have been devoted to filling military
demands. In order to get out the
canned goods the packers will find it
necessary to employ night and day
shifts of Gamers. Notwithstanding
the fact that the products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a
single complaint has been received on
meats delivered to the armies abroad.
The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly to keep
abreast Of martial and domestic needs.

seat in the audience he was given
an ovation. In beginning his dis
course, DR.. Boyd stated that he was
going to preach a little sermon and
would take for his text Grow in
Grace" During his discourse he IL
lustrated his points from the botani-
cal world, saying that plants grow
from the inside and if the Negro Bap-
lists were ever to amount to any
thing, they must grow from within
and not depend on outside help, as
outside help would always make
them subservient to the source from
which the help came.
. Intense silence prevailed in the
room as he told step by step OF the
plans that finally ended in the Bap-
lists securing the school property and
had its final grand climax in the eX-
ercises of the morning He then
told of the adverse criticisms that
had made some of the brethren think
the task too great, and ended by tell
ing them that he had just concluded
conference with two gentlemen
representing other denominations
who would take the property off their
hands at any moment they were
ready, either by rent, lease or sale.
At this moment several gentlemen
rose to their feet and declared that
the Negro Baptists would never stand
for putting their hands to the plow

MIR. A. S. RUCKER HURT IN
ACCIDENT

Friends of Mr.. A. S. Rucker, the
grocer of 14th Avenue, North, are in
great sympathy with him, because Of
the recent accidental injuries sus-
tanned by him at the corner of 10th
Avenue, North and Jefferson Street,
when a car driven by young man
of this city skidded on the wet street
and crashed into Mr.. Fuckers wag-
on. Eye witnesses state that the car
which was going at a fast rate of
speed was under perfect control, till
the corner of the street was reached
at which time it skidded and in spite
of all the driver could do crashed in
to the wagon badly breaking it up
and throwing Mr.. Rucker out. In
explaining the accident the driver of
the car stated that he accounts for
the accidont by the fact that one of
itaes front wheels of the car was lit
tie out of line giving the car a ten
dency to skid. .e
Mr.. Rucker is well and favorably
known all over the city having foi
number of years conducted a high
class grocery business on 14th Ave.
N. For the past several weeks he
has been in poor health and his
friends are worried over the effect OF
this recent shock to his already frai
constitution. 1t is hoped that he
I will have speedy recovery.

TO THE COLORED
PEOPLE OF D. S. A.

Trskegee, Ala, June 27-The Gov
ernment OF the United States has set
apart Friday, the 18th day of June,
as War Savings Stamp Day" This
is an opportunity for every Negro
man, woman and child to do his part
in helping to win the great war along
with the soldiers at the front. 1t is
a call for all of us to serve our coun-
try by lending our money to the gov
ernment to be used for whatever is
needed in winning the war.
We are called upon to invest our
savings with the government with
a promise not only OF their return.
but with a security and an added in
Lerest such as no bank can give. We
are not asked to give our money to
the government, but we are asked to
take our idle money which we have
laid aside and put il to work at win
ming the war in, which not only our
money but everything else that we
hold dear is at stake.
This War Saving Day is also a call
to save more money than we have
been saving up to this time. To win
the war it will be necessary for all
Americans, black and white alike, to
deny ourselves of many things which
we have been enjoying. We must
live as cheaply as we possibly can
without injury to our health and ef-
liciency, and whatever is saved in
this way we are asked to invest in
Savings Stamps and Baby Bonds for
winning the war. Our people spend
a great deal of money for articles of
lood ana dress and for amusement
that we can well afford to do with
out Starting now to give up these
unnecessary things will not only help
our country, but help ourselves as
WE'LL BY this means we will teach
ourselves and our children habits OF
thrift, and at the same time show 8
practical loyalty to our country which
is the duty of every citizen in the
land.
Wages are everywhere higher than
they have been before. This means
that all of us will have some money
which we can save. Parents can dc
nothing better for their children than
to teach them to buy War Savings
Stamps with as much enthusiasm and
| regularity as they buy toys and
candy or go to the moving pictures
Pastors, teachers and community
leaders generally will do a great ser
vice to their country by organizing
our people for investing in Savings
Stamps and Baby Bonds in regu
lar and systematic way. Every weel
should see the investment of sun
of money, large or small, by every
| man, woman and child among us.

Executive State Council OF Defense,
Wednesday, placed ban on the eN-
hibition of THE Birth of Nation"

The action of the state council
came as a sequel to the passage of a
resolution by the Mcdowell County
Auxiliary Council of Defense protest
ing against the showing of The
Birth of q Nation The Mcdowell
County Council, composed Of colored
citizens of that county and one OF
the units of the State Auxiliary Ad-
visory Council of which j. G. Gilmer
is secretary, set forth that the attrac-
ton is one calculated to arouse ha-
tired and prejudice between the white
and Negro races of the state, and
likely to hinder and retard the proper
co operation between the races In
promoting the greatest efficiency in
war work of all kinds"
The order of the Council is broad in
its inhibition Of plays or motion pic
lures written or staged in the spirit
of "The Birth OF Nation and is
specific in making it unlawful and
subject to penalties to show such a
play or picture at any time prior to
the termination of the present war
The order recites that the Negroes
of West Virginia have been loyal and
patriotic and have cheerfully respond
ed to all demands for activities In
the work of national defense; that
the Auxiliary Advisory Council and
the State Council of Defense have
been working together in complete
harmony, and that through and by
the exhibition of "The Birth of a
Nation" in this state results are likely
to be produced which will materially
prevent the two races from working
tcge her in harmony and from bring
ing about the best results in the
| several lines of war work.
The ban became effective immedi
ately on the passage of the order, ant
