just what two cannibals could do
that would be worth as much or as
little as twenty-four cents a day is be-
yond all comprehension. Their serv-
ices would either be worth living

to American civilization itself. 1t
should be either one extreme or the
other-that is unless DR.. Mann has
brought these victims here for Elk
.PLOITATION, in which case twenty
four cents per day is just about the
price an exploiter would pay, either
here or in the African jungles.
Some of the wages in Africa are
down to IL cents a day, and African
natives, NOT CANNIBALS, are re-
ceiving this wage. Two African can
nibals in America, however, are raised

logical reasons, we presume.
American people owe "Saidi" and
Jimmie" something the minute they
land upon American soil They owe
them, at least, baby's chance to ma

being unwilling to do this, the Amer
lean public owes it to the doctrine OF
mercy to send the cannibals back
home, where they can live the kind Of
lives to which they are accustomed;
which, certainly, were void of exploita-

WHY I AM A WET
By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D.,
Commissioner

Il am wet and hope to interest
everyone in the advantages OF being
wet. There is health in being wet in
side and out. No, it's not what you
think l am talking of 100 per cent
pure water" declared DR.. Herman N.
Bundesen, in his latest bulletin.
1--WE are all vets in spite Of our opin-
ions, for our bodies are nearly 20 per
cent water. Water is essential to life
and health. If you are not a camel,
you cannot live beyond few days
without water" says the Commits
sioner.
Our one general health sin is that
we do not drink enough water. Water
is to be regarded as a food and the
body cannot work without il.
Water washes out the poisons of
the body, dissolves the food and makes
them more easily assimilated, helps to
carry off wastes and stimulates every
organ Of the body. Drinking water is
one good way Of overcoming consti-
paion. Water is constantly being
thrown off and certain amount must
be taken in to keep up the water bal
ance of the body. Drink from six to
eight glasses a day Chicago's water
supply is safe Keep your faucets busy
and, although there is no foam on a
glass of Mother Natures own brew
it has the necessary kick for health"
advises DR.. Bundesen.

Printing themselves as possible pros

democratic candidates-Brennan, of

The peculiarly Of the situation, how

/. Philadelphia's Industrial Awak-
ening
Under the leadership of the Arm
strong Association, Forester B. Wash.
ington, Executive Secretary, the
Quaker City has just closed a notable
week in industrial deliberations and &C.
tivities in behalf of the Negro worker
The problems of the increasing Negro
population were finely combed out
and an inventory taken Of its pressing
needs. AS practical results of the Con.
ference, many new placements are re.
ported Of ambitious and qualified col
ored workers, who are gaining the con-
hdence Of Philadelphia's industries and
employers. theoretically, the Confer
ence surprised its warmest supporters
in that the interest and cooperation dis
played by the citizens and employers,
white and colored, were far greater
than had been expected.
During the past decade, Philadelphia
and its environs have presented pecu-
liar and perplexing situation in the ad-
justment of its Negro urban life. The
Negro population has grown with
mush-roon-like rapidity. The advent
Of the Negro ghetto in Central, West
and South Philadelphia brought with
it all the passions and antipathies COM
mon to other communities which have
felt the social nexus of interracial rela-
tons. Employment became scarce.
Magistrates Courts became crowded
with the backwash of overladen Negro
districts. Many of the incomers were
not bad at heart. A chance was all
they wanted, and in its pursuit they
became misled, and finally were caught
in the tolls of the law.
Philadelphia employers were 10th to
give Negro labor its deserved chance.
They had remembered the overflow
from Chester and Hog Island some
years ago. Houses had become insan-
itary; and congestion had added to the
menace of health and morale.
Negro-in-Industry Week, just closed,
has brought the classes and the masses
to better understanding in Philadel-
phia. And the cooperation in evolving
the understanding was wonderful.
Even the radio stations helped out
Adamant white organized labor soft
ened its demeanor and offered to sit
down and talk it over"
The Armstrong Association is to be
congratulated in attempting such a
undertaking. And the
and individuals which
joined hands in the movement have
truly shown the silver lining to Amer
ica's cloud of interracial bad will.
AS to Mr.. Washington, he is known
throughout the country, not only as a
liberal clariher Of social problems, but
as keen American, typical Of the type
whose foresight overmatches the aver
age persons hindsight. Philadelphia
is proud of his activities and of the
era of industrial good will which he
and the Armstrong Association are
constantly stimulating, with added new
strength and finer ideals.

heretofore fairly free and untrammeled
by questions Of color.
AS dictator, however, Of all demo-
Gratis, the South will insist that all its
adherents bind themselves to the
solemn oaths to keep the Negro in his
socalled social and political place. No
matter where democratic strength may
develop the creed by which it must
live is written by Dixie. And every
national candidate, no matter what his
part has been in his own state, must
subscribe to the process Of Negro elm
nation. And as economic competition
increases, the political competition will
run a close second.
Hence there is no cause for rejoicing
over any Of the past days democratic
victories, for like a petard they will
rise out Of the future and hoist up,
only to let down, the glimmering
chances of the Negro democrats to
reach full-sized political growth. If
in doubt, just review the voting rec
ords, in legislation, Of incumbent
democrats, national and otherwise.
