Cemeteries Placed in Order.

Cemeteries Placed in Order.
At the request of the Civic Better
ment club a number of public-spirited
citizens (both sexes) turned out on
three different evenings to prepare the
cemeteries for Memorial day.
Besides this voluntary work, the
club had paid crew of men and boys
who worked at the cutting and raking
for several days. The plan always fol-
lowed before has been to put in a man
from the first of May, but the plan
tried out this year not only makes the
money paid in by the lot owners last
longer into the fall, which is most de-
sirable, but the work being done prac-
tically all at the same time insures a
more uniform appearance for Memoir
al day, time when each lot owner
wishes his lot to look it's best.
1t is well to have the cemeteries
cared for as late into the fall as pos
sible. The good condition of the Gene
teries this spring was due to the good
care they had last fall.
It is much to be regretted for the
general appearance Of the cemeteries
that there are SO many individual
tastes displayed in the arrangements
of the lots. Particularly is it too bad
where the lots are built high and the
graves mounded up, not only from an
artistic standpoint but from a practi-
cal one as well, as lots so arranged
are almost impossible to keep green
during hot dry spell. Oak Knoll be-
ing situated on the slope of a hill and
the soil being naturally sandy, the
moisture drains away quickly, and
anything raised above the general
level suffers first. a-..
The best cared for cemeteries in the
cities require that the lots be on the
level, the graves being designated
only by markers. Grounds so ar
ranged are much more easily cared
for and are so much more restful and
pleasing to the eye.
Those who are contemplating any
change on their lots should bear this
I'm mind. Those who have not already
done so are requested to send in their
money promptly to the Civic Better
ment club treasurer, Mrs. Jno. F. Pet
terson.

eloquent and impressive sermon.

Red Cross Day at Santiago

Our Santiago neighbors are also to
have Red Cross day on Thursday,
June IL. It is too bad that the date
conflicts with Princeton's Red Cross
day. But it could not be helped. The
people Of that vicinity wish to hear
Governor Burnquist and that is the
only day that they can have him. The
governor will speak at Santiago at IL
a. M, at Princeton at 2 p. M, and in
the high school auditorium at Milaca

It is officially announced that Ger

June u to June 26, both dates in-

In nonurban areas, such as Prince

at the postoffice.
Each alien will be required to regis

be taken, however, as an imputation
that the registrant is not q law-abid-

search for what is called pleasure, a
good time, ect., which if taken moder-
ately is some kind of palliative or

The Epidemic.

In some way the epidemic of In
fluenza that recently swept over the
country was blamed on the war; and
now comes DR.. Albert ]. Croft, who,
in a paper before the Douglas
Branch of the Chicago Medical Socie-
ty says the ''flu' victims are
"gassed"; that we are breating an
atmosphere of highly poisonous prop
critics liberated from the battlefelds
of Europe.
There is one thing however, we
know; it stole into our homes like an
unwelcome nocturnal visitor and ere
morning had claimed its nightly
prize; we do know that it command
ed the combined efforts of civil and
military authority to stamp it out.
Nurses were at a premium; those
who were trained were quickly press
ed into service; even the First Aid
nurses, without experience. were Of
fered ten dollars per week.

of which Mrs. Daisy Dickerson is
president, the Visiting nurses, of
which there are three race represen-

ers, the Social Service workers and
the volunteer workers all were urged
to the supreme test of endurance
during this period of the war.

report shows that within period of
fifty days, September 2Sth to Nov
ember 18th, 1895 deaths occurred
from "flu" and S29S from pneumo-
mia.

school age are quite immune, and
"the Colored race was more immune

ing the war, while Treasury funds
are at the lowest ebb. The pro-
ceeds from the Fourth Liberty
Loan have been expended and the
Government is meeting its war ex-
penses by issuing Anticipation Ger
tificates drawn on the Fifty Liberty
Loan. This amounts to about ST.
50O.OOO,OOO a month.
Americans must bear in mind
that a very great deal remains to be
done. Our brave troops in France,
Russia and Germany-nearly 2,000,-
900 of them-must be properly
maintained-fed,c clothed and housed
while abroad, and paid until they
are returned to their homes on
American soil and again are profit
ably employed. This will take at
least another year, and perhaps
longer.
These huge expenditures must be
met by borrowing from the people.
They have stood by the Government
in the past and the Treasury De-
partment is confident that they will
continue their support to the end
that all payments reuslting from war
necessities will be promptly met.
THE Fifth Liberty Loan will fur
nish the acid test of your patriotism.
1t will lack some of the spectacular
features of previous loan drives, APP

The Canteen.

Whenever trainloads of soldiers
pass through the city en- route to an
other point of destination, they are
met at the station by a well-drilled
squad of uniformed women, under the
supervision of a Captain and her
lieutenants, who pass refreshments
among them, and postcards which
they also write for any who wish it,
stamp and mail them.
This service is called 'canteening,"
and the source from which it issues,
the "canteen.
This activity had its beginning at
a meeting in the Raymond Communi-
ty Center when DR.. Mary F. Waring
called together a few interested wo-
men to hear Mrs. John McKinlock,
president of the Chicago Canteen
talk of the work with a view to form
ing a unit among the Colored wo-
men.
Shortly after this meeting, the
newly-formed squad reported at the
Canteen house downtown, on the
lake front, and entered upon its
duties with DR.. Waring, as captain,

and Mrs. Helen Sayre, second lieut.

and are under strict military discip-
line.
They have canteened as many as
three thousand in one day.
The newly-appointed lieutenants
are: Mrs. Dewitt Smith, Mrs. Hattie
Oldham and Mrs. Mayme Haddox.
The preparation of refreshments
served in the Canteen is under the su-
pervision of Mrs. Mary Wickliffe and
Mrs. Helen Thorne, dieticians.

Red Cross First Aid.

1t was through DR.. Carl G. Rob-
erts, an American Red Cross instruc-
tor, that the classes in first aid"
nursing were admitted into the Red
Cross and vested with the authority
of that institution.
The first First Aid" class of Col
ored women in this city, thirty in
number, received their certificates on
the 10th of last September.
The charter members look with
pride upon the certificates which bear
the names of President Wilson and
Hon. VIM. Howard Taft.
The course consists chiefly of band
aging, stretcher work, treating shock
and controlling hemorrhage, which,
if followed by the Bedside Nurs-
ing" course, renders the First Aid
nurse an acceptable substitute in
cases of emergency.
Nurses from this class were sent
out by the Red Cross during the
epidemic.

signals, red, green, or yellow lamps,
each bearing a certain significance.
The working out of such system is
the surest guarantee that the pas
sengers on board, whether a sleep or
awake are safe. Why? Because. if a
danger signal is flashed either by a
charge, working in harmony with the
engineer will ask for instructions at
the main office, or slow his train until
information concerning the open
track is received and they get right
of way.
People act very differently con-
corning their bodies. Many VINO have
aches, pains, etc, conclude that no.
thing much can be wrong with them,
and they rush headlong pell nell into
danger zones, fearless of a wreck,
which is usually just head of them.
Thousands and tens of thousands
of just as good people as we are have
been cut off because they failed to
heed their danger signals.
When you are ailing and need me-
dicine it is not good idea to assume
that you know what to take, or that
your friend can tell you just what
medicine to get at the nearest drug
store. You have evidently violated
some one of Natures immutable laws
and it would be a thousand times
better for you to send for 4 physi-
clan, stand trial and pay your fee,
and be set free of disease at once.

THE FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN

As the Broad AK has rallied to the
undivided support of Liberty Loans
in the past. so it will be found 10y
ally and enthusiastically lending its
prestige and influence to any and
all Government popular war loans
in the future. During the war the
necessity of Liberty Loans was ap-
parent to all, and now that the war
Is over and our brave boys are still
orerseas as an army of just con-
tention and occupation it should be
iust as evident to patriots of our
race that the necessity for their
financial support is even greater than
ever.
To the publishers of The Broad
Ak has come an urgent appeal from
the publicity depas:ment of the
Liberty Loan Organization of the
Seventh Federal Reserve District to
prepare the readers of this paper for
the Fifth Liberty Loan, which will
be fiOated next April. No details
as to the amount, interest, etc, have
