BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTERS.
By Albion l.. Holsey.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.,-The war
is bringing the people of this country
into a closer bond of sympathy and un-
derstanding and it is my sincere be-
lief that, when conditions are read
justed, ours will be a better and
stronger country. Members of the
race throughout the country are CO.
operating with the white people in
local Red Cross, Food, Liberty Bond,
Fuel and Thrift Stamp Campaigns
and through these new relationships,
there will come increasing opportuni-
ties for demonstrating the races
value as a civic and economic asset.
| have been especially proud of the
recognition which has come to our
newspapers. The various publicity
bureaus at Washington are sending
out their material to our papers just
as to papers published by other people,
and it is interesting to note that some
of the leading advertising men of
the nation are identified with these
bureaus at Washington After the
war it is more than likely that these
men viii not forget the valued co-opera-
ton that the Negro newspapers are
giving now and will give careful at
tention to their merits in making up
lists of papers for national advertisers.
1t will be long step forward when
national advertisers begin to ask,
"How much will it cost to reach the
colored people through their leading
papers?"
The signs of the times" are signi-
ficant. | notice that the leading Press
Clipping Bureaus are clipping editor
ials from Negro papers in an increas-
ing degree what the Negro thinks" is
becoming more and more important
to the men who control the political
and commercial destiny of this nation
The National Negro Business League
has been a powerful factor in keeping
the business development of the race
before the public.

Retribution.


Although for a long time Donna Tsa-
bel had been sure in her own mind that
Pancho Cueto, her administrator, was
robbing her, she had never mustered
courage to call him to a reckoning.
Nevertheless, De Castano's blunt accu-
sation, coupled with her own urgent
needs, served to fix her resolution, and
on the day after the merchants visit
she sent for the overseer, who at the
time was living on one of the plan
tations.
Cueto was plainly curious to learn
why he had been sent for. but since
he asked no questions, his employer
was forced to open the subject her
self. Through dry, white lips she be

EXPLAINS POISONING BY FOOD
Science Has Discarded Theory, Long
Held, That Ptomaines Are the
Cause of Infection.

Poisoning by food is no longer ex-
planned as ''ptomaine poisoning" but
in an address to the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science,
DR.. E. o. Jordan showed that it is due
either to true bacterial toxins compare
bic to those of diphtheria and tetanus
bacilli, or to infection with specific in
lection carried by the food article The
best known example of the toxin-form-
ing microbes is the bacillus botulinus,
which has produced in the United
States % recorded eases of poisoning,
of which II were in California, while
Great Britain has reported no case
This type OF poisoning is rare, but in
lection with foOd-borne disease BAG
terra seems to occur in a great number
Of cases. The bacteria are either pres
ent in the food itself, or the food IS
contaminated from human sources.
The chief food-borne infections hith-
erto traced to human contamination
are typhoid fever and the various
paratyphoid infections; but to these
must be added certain infections rare
~ transmitted by any food except
milk, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever,
and streptOcOccus sore throat The
type Of infection from food contain
mated at its source is exemplified in
the diseases of certain food animals.
The chief infections known to be due
to food infected at its source are those
mainly meat-bOrne- caused by the
group Of paratyphoid enteritidis BAG

Of infected milk. The bacterial dis

Good ~ Don Mario rose to leave,
for the exertion of his ride had made
him thirsty. you may name your own
reward for helping me and I will pay
1t the day Rosa marries me. Now kind
~ advise her of my intentions and tell

It was quite true that Johnnie
O'Reilly-or 1.-The O'Reilly,'' as his
friends called him-had little in the
way of worldly advantage to offer any
girl, and it was precisely because of
this fact that he had accepted posi-
ton here in Cuba, where, from the very
nature of things, promotion was likely
to be more rapid than in the New York
Office of his firm.
A dancing eye speaks every Ian
guage; a singing heart gathers its own
audience. Before the young Irish
American had more than bowling ac-
ish verbs he had a calling acquaint-
ance with some of the most exclusive
people OF Matanzas. He had adjusted
himself serenely to his surroundings
when Rosa VarOna returned from
school, but with her coming, away
went all his cOmplacency. His content
ment vanished he experienced q total
change in his opinions, his hopes, and
his ambitions.
He discovered, for example, that Ma
tanZaS was by no means the Out-Of-the-
way place he had considered it; on the
contrary, after meeting Rosa once by
accident, twice by design, and three
times by mutual arrangement, it had
dawned upon him that tins was the
chief city of Cuba, if not, perhaps. the
hub around which the whole world re-
volved; certainly it was the most
agreeable of all cities, since it con-
tanned everything that was necessary
for mans happiness. Yet. despite the
thrill of his awakening, O'Reilly was
not at all pleased with himself, for, as
1t happened, there was another girl
back home, and during his first year
Of loneliness he had written to her
more freely and more frequently than
any man on such a salary as his had a
right to do.
Inasmuch as her father was O'Reil-
ly's company it may be seen that
Rosa Varona'S homecoming seriously
complicated matters, not only from
sentimental, but from a business stand
point.
1t was in a thoughtful mood that he
rode up La Cumbre toward the Quinta
de Esteban, late on the afternoon of
Dan Mario's visit. Instead of going di-
rectIy to the house, as the merchant
had done, O'Reilly turned off from the

road and, after lettering his horse in
a cluster of guava bushes, proceeded
on foot. He did not like Donna Isabel,
nor did Donna Isabel like him. More
over, he had a particular reason for
avoiding her today.
Just inside the Varona premises he
paused an instant to admire the out
look. The quinta commanded an excel
lent view of the Yumuri, on the one
hand, and of the town and Ilarbor on
the other; no one ever climbed the hill
from the city to gaze over into that
hidden valley without feeling a pleas
urable surprise at finding it still there.
We are accustomed to think of perfect
beauty as unsubstantial, evanescent;
but the Yumuri never changed, and in
that lay its supremest wonder.
Through what had once been we'll
tended grounds, O'Reilly made his way
to a sort of sunken garden which. in
spite of neglect, still remained the
most charming nook upon the place ;:
and there he sat down TO wait for Rosa
