DOCTOR BLACK

PICTURED HIM AS GENTLE
MANLY IN APPEARANCE
IN HIS DISCOURSE AT THE
BAPTIST CHURCH LAST
NIGHT.

Dr.. Black drew mental pic
ture Of the devil last night at the
Baptist Church that made his
Satanic Majesty look consider
ably more like a gentleman than
the pictures that one is used to
seeing in the art drawings. He
said that the original painting OF
the devil, which makes him ap.
pear as a horned, forked-tailed,
hideous demon, was not made by
a Bible student, as the Bible does
not teach that he is any such
animal Quite to the contrary,
the evangelist stated that his
idea OF the devil is being who
goes into the best circles, relig
ious, social and otherwise, and
one who always looks his best all
the time and on all occasions.
DR.. Black is certainly making
an impression on the people of
this community, as is evidenced
by the large congregations,
which are growing each service
All the seats were filled last
night and about a hundred camp
stools had to be brought in anc
placed in the aisles. Large mum
5ers Of out-of-toWn people were
in attendance, from Halifax, Til
iery, Hobgeod and other nearby
towns, as we'll as a good many
people from the country.

THE AMERICAN RELIEF
DM|NIST RATION To
INTRODUCE |NOCU[AT|ON

London, June ia sanitary
spring offensive calling for the
incubation of 100000 people
against five communicable dis
eases, has been undertaken by
the Medical Department Of the
American Relief Administration
III Russia, says cable reaching
the London office.
Typhoid, para-typhoid a and
b., smallpox and cholera, which
latter has now begun to appear
n several regions, are the cpl
denies which the A. r. A. hopes
TO eradicate in this way.
The vaccines are now arriving
IA Russia and are being distri
buted to the districts and the as
sistance of the central govern
ment and the local health author
tiles has been enlisted in order
to secure the cooperation Of the
people themselves.
The A. r. A. is also trying to
revive such native sources as
that Of the laboratory at Roux
which was known as 'the second
Past eur Institute. "This has
been practically closed owing to
lack Of materials and food for the
staff. Now, however, the A. r.
A. officer in Samara has induc-
ed the government to guarantee
water, fuel and forage for AMI
mails needed for experimental
purposes. The A. r. A. is Civ.
ing laboratory supplies and food
packages for the personnel.
An educational campaign in
stituted by the government show
ing the dangers pictorially Of the
louise, the mosquito and the fly
and the necessity for removing
all rubbish and filth, has prepar-
ed the way. AS many Of people
to be iroculated are receiving
American rations, this prophylac
tic offensive is expected to be
successful.
Already the A. r. A. physician
in Samara, DR.. Foucar, has enlist
ed the aid Of the refugee adults
! now being fed by the a. r. A.,
in removing trash and keeping
rubIic places clean. All chill
dren coming to the kitchens, are
required to take baths in the pub
| lie bathing house. At first they
were reluctant to indulge in even
! a weekly wash but now they like
! It and come two and three times
a week. While they are bathing,
/ their clothes are sterilized.
Repairing sewage systems, i'm
! proving housing conditions, in
! stalling chlorinators to purify
! the water supply in the towns are
other means by which the A. X
!. hopes to make Russia safe
! rom the sanitary standpoint.
{! Funds for this campaign were
provided by the American Red
F.. Crcss which contributed $4,000
+ 00O n cash and S6O0,0oO in
stocks. An additional 81, ,00O,-
+. OG0 worth Of supplies from sur

Good And Bad Advice
ToThe Women Voters

Raleigh, June 14.-The Raj
-c1gh Times stops cussin at or
ganlzed labor long enough to
project its probocis into the wom-
ems attitude, or alleged attitude
towards the two candidates for
solicitor in this (7th) judicial
district. Some Of the organized
labor people feel kindly toward
Mr.. Evans and will probably
vote for him. This seems to be
enough to rally that more or less
vascilsttjng sheet to the Hinsdale
standard. So the Evening Kick
er bafes it's chesty breast to the
t',nnderstorms Of June and es-
Says to speak the minds Of the
women voters Of Wake and
Franklin as being against Evans
because he was opposed to the
ratification Of the woman suf-
frage amendment to the federal
constitution-and had the TEN
Gritty tC say 500. 1t goes further
and complains that Evans even
said so out loud, when everybody
could hear hin-a habit Of his.
Therefore, declares the Even
ing Kicker, the women are
against them now, after the battle
is all over and everybody has ac
cepted the result in good faith. !.
Well, we can't believe there

IF the women who take az

that sort of policy and tactics
which would never get them any

The entire minstrel shows much
work on the part of the committee in
charge, the director, F. Ogden CARL,
and in fact every member of the Wild
wood Fire Companies. Mr. CARL in
terrupted the proceedings of the min
strel part for a moment to thank the
audience for the n in which
they had received the performance
and to tell them that it would be re-
peated tonight FRIDAY, December
Sth). This second night of the min
strel was necessary to accommodate
the many holders of tickets that could
not get in to witness the Wednesday
night performance.
We have but one criticism to offer
against the whole affair. That is the
one or two "off color" jokes and the
unnecessary use of profanity at a
couple of times during the evening.
Our boys are real entertainers and
have proven themselves such on not
only this but other occasions, and we
hope that next years minstrel will be
free of any of these bad taste pro-

fully say that this years minstrel was

ever" and we congratulate the men
responsible for it.

the best of it's kind in Wildwood, in
fact, in Cape May County.
The work of the Bond Construction
Company at the Wildwood Golf Course

while the golf officials decide further
plans. These. plans will probably be
formulated at a meeting of the Off

afternoon of this week.
A. Fishman & Sons have followed
the suit of B. C. Ingersoll & Son and
are commencing the alteration of
their store on Pacific avenue. These

RUNAWAY HORSE is KILLED

A runaway team of horses belong
ing to Loef1er's express resulted in
two automobiles going to the repair
shop on Monday morning. The driver
was unloading goods at Boyer's store,
on Wildwood avenue, when the horses
became frightened at a load of barrels
and dashed out Wildwood avenue to-
ward the ocean. In going down these
two blocks they hit Frank Mattera's
new coupe and also the machine of
Mayor Warren d. Ham damaging this
car considerably. They then contin-
ued down Wildwood to Atlantic where
they turned north on Atlantic avenue.
At Atlantic and Pine they hit a tele-
graph pole, breaking the traces on the
wagon and giving them more freedom
to continue in their mad race. Reach
ing Magnolia avenue they headed to-
ward the boardwalk where they then
turned back to Glenwood. Here one
of the horses hit its head on the low
hanging beams under the boardwalk,
breaking its neck and dying instantly.
The other horse was quickly caught
by Police officer Sheehan.
