When ice is not obtainable an ice
less refrigerator, home made, will be
found useful to keep meat, fruit and
vegetables cool. 1t will extend the
keeping period for milk and butter
and serve also as a cooler for drink
ing water.
In homes where large qualities of
milk and butter are to be kept, it
would be well to have one refrigera-
tor for milk and butter, and another
for other foods, as milk and butter
readily absorb odors from other foods.
1t costs very little to build the re-
frigerator and nothing to operate it.

Once upon time and not so very
long ago at that fashion was evident
only in the dressy up dresses of ma
damea, Today it's different. Fashion
Is the. essential Of every sort of a
frock--and just as surely as the
fashion changes in the dressy gowns
so also is the change apparent in
even the kitchen dress. Among the
summer apparel on display at the big
Thompson Hudson store. there's va
ried display Of housedresses that oc-
cupies to be exact one-half of the fifth

Of the new mode is shown on the third
floor of the Lasalle and Kock Co. s

wrapped about the shoulders and
brought under the attached belt they
offer not only practically but an ex-

scarf Of buff color wool with tur-

Black usually is combined in some
way with, the white toweling Often

sometimes a design in old fashioned

Sleeves Of all lengths are used for
smocks. There are sleeves to the
wrists; Others that come just above
the elbow, and some very short, bare
ly covering the shoulders.
The short sleeve. however, is used
most frequently, because it is cool
and comfortable.

THE BOYS CLUB FEDERATION.

THE APPEAL is in receipt of a
letter from Mr.. Frank G.. Patchen, of
the Boys Club Federation (Bureau. of
Information), 10 West 4Oth Street,
New York, N. y, asking for it's CO.
operation in the efforts of the Fedora
ton to solve the vital problem of the
"under-privileged" boy, one Of the
greatest human problems that our
country is facing. He states that in
no sense does the work of the or
ganization conflict with that of the
Church. On the contrary, it is an
aid to the Church, reaching material
that neither the Church nor Church
clubs can successfully reach and with.
out bias, placing that material in the
hands of the Churches for spiritual
guidance, distributing to each Church
it's own, WITHOUT REGARD TO
RACE, CREED OR COLOR"
Elsewhere in our columns we pub
lish an article that tells of the Fedora
ton and it is hoped that some of our
good citizens will interest themselves
to the extent of writing to Mr.. Patchen
to learn the plans upon which the de-
sired cooperation may be given.

II they were sent they would go? So
long as they are here, and have al
ready been mixing for more than a
century, and have the rights of citi-

white men for their country, is it any

SOUTH STILL IN SADDLE.

It is with considerable regret and
chagrin that we note the defeat Of
the amendment to the Esch railroad
bill offered by Congressman Madden
of Illinois, designed to do away with
the Jim crow accommodations now
supplied to colored people on rail-
roads in TIE south.
The Jim crow law never should have
been conceived, much less enacted, as
]: it is absolutely WRONG and caters to
prejudice as wrong as itself.
< Once, some years ago, it will be
remembered, there were several col
ored members of Congress elected by
the majority vote in thir several dis
tricts, just as the members of the
present Congress were but if those
men were living now, they would not
be allowed to travel in the South.
without being Inundated and out
ragged by being forced into Jim crow
cars just because they had visible
admixture of African blood in their
composition. The present Congress
had an opportunity to correct this
great wrong but refused to do so, be-
cause the southern members did not
want It.

WILL NOT WAIVE RIGHTS.

Venal' colored men in Chicago at
tempted to sell out the coloved people
but they were promptly rebuked by
the decent self-respecting people.
An organization known as the Ken
wood and Hyde Park Property Own
ers Association held a meeting to pre-.
pare plans to segregate the colored
people or at least to drive them out
of the Hyde Park section. The color
ed people were characterized as "un.
desirables," "coons," ""darkies," etc.,
by speakers who were appealing to
the prejudices of the Southerners who
composed about nine-tenths of the
audience.
Then another meeting was called
and a few venal jimcrow Negroes
were on hand who tried to sell out
their race. The whole plan was an
Infamous one. The colored men who
were in the plot were the hirelings
Of the Hyde Park whites and hoped
to make a lot of money out of the
scheme, but the community made it so
hot for the would-be traitors that they
did not attend the second meeting
with the whites. There were only
|'six co1ored men who agreed to segre-
gate themselves and they have long
been known as jimcrowi5ts.

REViVING WAR INSURANCE.

Soldiers and sailors who have al
lowed their war insurance to lapse
should take note of the new treasury
decision whereby men out of service
eighteen months or more may rein
state their policies up to Dec. 81, 1919,
on payment of two months premiums,
provided they are still insurable ply
sicauy.
Many Of these pohcyholders have
dropped their insurance because they
are young and without dependents.
But beyond question most of them
will some day be married and have
dependents and will need insurance.
Life insurance is regarded today by
our most substantial citizens as the
necessary equipment of every man of
family, and many banks are publicly
advocating it as a measure of thrift
These boys Of the army and navy
can never again get insurance as
cheaply as it is offered by the govern
ment. and the terms for reinstatement
are exceedingly liberal. 1t would be
the part Of wisdom for these boys to
get their policies launched now. and
at least partly paid for while they are
financially, by family.
