Nearly all diseases of the skin, such
as eczema, letter, salt rheum and bar
Ders' itch, are characterized by an in
tense itching and smarting, which
often makes life a, burden and dis

be had by applying Chamberlain's

smarting almost instantly. MANY
cases have been cured bv its use. For

Dear Sir and Brother: 1t is with
deep regret that learnd of the death

i two exemption boards we secured his

out the country known to have fat bank
accounts and who are supposed to believe
that the race will become that much stronger
and influential in proportion to the solid
business enterprises it can put in the COM
nercial world. There were some who did
not have the common courtesy to reply,
while others were not so favorably impressed
with facts and figures presented, as the prop
osition did not have the aspect Of a get-rich-
quick scheme. It failed to quicken their
imagination the same as 100 to l shot at
the races
Some Negroes throughout the country who
. are known for opening wine and 'going
big" in public, thought the idea 'wonder-
full" but that was all they did-just think;
so the publishing company was ultimately
organized in most modest way-by the
writer going down in his jeans. With the
proper cooperation the enterprise could have
been started under more suspicious condi-
tions
There are two music publishing concerns
struggling for recognition and success in
New York at this time. One is the Walton
Publishing Company, which is in swaddling
clothes, and the Pace & Handy Music Com
pany, which is known as the 'Home Of the
Blues and took up residence in the me-
tropols few months ago. This firm has
been trying to gain a foothold for more
than five years, and it affords me pleasure
to be able to state that it's future looks
bright.
Since the advent Of Pace & Handy in
New York I have heard colored writers
declare that they would not place their num-
bers with colored firm, as their previous
experience with colored publishing houses
some years ago was none too remunerative.
I have heard these same writer's complain
of being unable to get their songs with a
white publisher. Were an investigation made
it would be brought to light that the colored
firm gave larger royalties than the white
firms OF course, many of us we'll know
that one of our drawbacks is expecting too
much of one another-because we are Ne
groes.
The two colored publishing firms men
toned herein have been able to live so far
largely on account of the white musical
public. But imagine what influence for
good they would yield for race writers If
there were 100000 William R. Hollands
or say $4,000 William R. Hollands out OF

B0LO DENIES U.S.. PLOTS PLAN DAYLIGHT SAVING BILL
CONGRESS EXPECTED TO PASS
MEASURE SOON.
House Committee Will Consider sub.
ject as Soon as Certain Bills
Are Disposed Of.

Washington.--As oon as the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce disposes Of the administra-
ton railroad bills Chairman Sims Of
Tennessee will call a meeting to begin
consideration Of the daylight saving
bills.
Indications are that the bill report
ed to the house will be passed almost
unanimously as a war measure. Thus
far no objections have been heard,
and passage of this legislation will be
in keeping with the action Of the chief
legislative bodies Of all the countries
at war.
Two daylight saving bills are be-
fore congress.
One was introduced by Senator Cal
der of New York. This provides that
the time for the United States be
standardized by turning the clock
ahead one hour for five months every
year, beginning at 2 a. IN. on the last
Sunday in April and terminating at 2
a. III. on the last Sunday in September,
Representative Sims has introduced
a bill providing that 80 days after
passage the clock be turned ahead one
hour and not be turned back the last
of September. as provided in the Cal
der bill, but remain an hour ahead OF
the present time until the close Of the
war.
Senator Calder based his plea foi
the passage of his bill on the valuable
economics that would be effected by
it, arguing that the people would hav'
more time at home in the afternoon,
and evenings to cultivate gardens ant
devote to pursuits that tend to tn
comfort of the homes.
Congressman Sims will urge tn
passage Of his bill not only on eco
nomic grounds, but also on the groun,
that it Is a fuel-saving measure.

FROM SWISS ooRoeR 70
NORTH SEA.
VILLAGES IN REAR SUFFERERS
Allies Take Hacks At German Lines
to Halt lneipient Offensive
Heavy Casualties Believed
to Be Inflicted.

With the American Army In France.
The mist has lifted lately from the
American sector with the result that
there is fairly lively Smelling at e '
eral points. as well as considerable
aerial activity. Several air fights &C.
Cured above the trenches and the
anti-aircraft guns ON both sides were
extremely busy.
Villages far behind the lines are
chief sufferers.
From the North Sea to the Swiss
frontier the military activity daily
seems to be growing in intensity and
1t may be fair to assume that in the
not distant future some of the big
battles that have been forecast will
break.
The American, British and French
armies have been taking hacks at the
German line, either by fairly strong
patrol attacks or by bombardments,
while in turn the Teutons have been
| giving considerable attention on yari'
Gus sectors to their enemies.
Heavy casualties are believed to
have been inflicted on the Teutons
and considerable damage was done
by the 75s on the German trenches,
due to the accuracy of the aim Of
the American gunners.
The Germans have not yet beer
able to reoccupy the trenches ant
dugouts battered by recent American
fire and have been forced to build an
other line of trenches at that particu
lar point.
