But now, all this iSchanged, and peo-

Physician Proves That Pure Dcep
Sea Water Contains Exact Mineral
Elements Your Blood Is Craving For
SAYS: RevitaIize the impoverished Blood
and Many Ailments Will Speedily Vanish.

This pure deep sea water Is brought
to the Ocean-O laboratories on the
water front at Newark, N. J., and
stored In immense special tanks. Then
it goes through a long and careful
process through a scientific apparatus
that cost nearly one hundred thousand
dollars to build.
During this process the excess COM
mon salt is removed and the mineral
elements concentrated BY the most care
full distillation--these concentrated ele-
ments are the same as those found In
pure, healthy blood.
OceanO goes through seventeen sue
cessive vibrations before 1t is bottled
and in each bottle there are eleven times
the vitalizing mineral elements that
the found in an equal quantity of deep
sea water. That is why teaspoonful
to a tablespoonful Gas directed) IN a.
glass of cold water is all you need to
take. at one time and why bottle Of
Ocean-O lasts a long time.
You read. above how to get rid of
skin diseases by putting into your blood

WASHINGTON SEGREGATION CASE
CreOles Claim
Everything But
COlOred Blood
preston News Service)

The ire of many a "Creolo" has
been provoked because the innocent
tourist thinks the word means "of
colored blood"
Creole" the native Orleanian
will tell you, means "of French and
Spanish" The Creole is one who is
born away from his countrywide
ever that country may be. The New
Orleans Creole is considered the
city's finest product. The women
are lovely. The men are brave. They
have charming manners. They are
exclusive. They are clannish. They
have their own language, their own
society, and their own customs.
The New Orleans Creole speaks a
pure French. The reason "Creole"
has been misunderstood is because
their slaves spoke a Creole dialect,
bearing. about the same relation to
pure French as the Southern Negro
talk does to English purely spoken.
Then there was the Acadian French,
or "Cajean" French, as spoken In the
outlying districts Of Louisiana. And
"Gumbo" French-that means sim
ply French incorrectly spoken.

u AS0Soh ANS"o oSA VASO(
Wheeling, w. Va, June 4.-Negro
churchmen in this city are perturbed
over the unenviable notoriety caused
by the resignation of the pastors of
all the Negro churches here within a
few months.
The first change was at the Simp-
son M. E. Church, from which Rev.
c. E. Hodges was transferred, at his
own request. He is now pastor of
a very prominent church in Washing
ton, D. G.
Next came the ultimatum and then
the resignation of Rev. S. A. Daven-
port, after friction and disagreements
with officers of Macedonia Baptist
Church, the largest religious organ
ization among Negroes in Wheeling.
In reference to these two changes
public opinion was divided; some
people charge officers of these
churches with denouncing and per-
scouting the ministers while others
denied the charged and defended the
churches. But the consensus of
opinion was that both ministers were
justified in seeking new fields.
The last and possibly the most
sensational change came when Rev.
R. A. Adams, one of the most expert
enced and best qualified ministers

Law Declaring Negroes Ineligi-

to Be Fought.
(Preston News Service)

Washington, D. c., June Al. A.
Nixon of Ell Paso, Texas, filed in the
Supreme Court Wednesday brief in
his appeal contesting validity of the
Texas law under which he was pro-
hibited from voting in the general
Democratic primaries in July, 1924.
He contended that the statute which
renders a Negro ineligible to partici-
pate in Democratic primaries in the
state is unconstitutional.
In the Federal District Court for
Western Texas, the suit, which
sought to recover $4,000 damages
against precinct judges, was dismiss
ed on the grounds that the Federal
Constitution and laws relating to
suffrage do not apply to primaries.
The case will be reached for oral
argument early in the next term of
the court, beginning in October.
