Omaha, Neb. v v THE SLAUGHTER OF TOE I X NO CENTS Dr. Du Bois writes in the October Crisis: Attention has been called this year especially to the child and the United States government has been spreading widely the gospel of the preservation of child life. The death of some ten million men who would have been fathers of unborn children has made the world think of the horrors of war. And the great est of the horrors of peace is the unnecessary and persistent slaughter of little children. It is a crime of every civilization and of every race, but we Negroes are among the guilti est; among us from two hundred to five hundred of every thousand of our babies die before they reach one year of age. We have pleaded pov erty, prejudice and slavery as ex cuse, but the time is come not to excuse but to combat with our own available weapons this murder. The remedy is, first, care and fore thought in bringing children into the world, and, second, pure food and air for them when they come. We .per sist in keeping windows shut and liv ing indoors; we persist in buying food carelessly and feeding all kinds of food indiscriminately to children. Out door life and simple, pure foods reg ularly fed would save the lives of a quarter million Negro children each year. SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MEN The author of “Push” says, “Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.” This motto coming to the attention of a young man, who through adverse circumstances was forced to quit college in his second year, caused him to ponder and study it. His conclusion was: To be a suc cess he must prove himself strong. As he had lost an opportunity to,finish; his education, he must carve for him self an opportunity in business. He left his home in Missouri. Fol lowing Horace Greeley’s advice, he; came west and landed in Omaha; at tempted a start several times in dif-; ferent lines, and as many times failed: but being deeply imbued with one of! the four cardinal virtues, "persever- j ance,” he tried again. This time real j estate, and in looking over the trans- j fers in realty transactions one finds: that the late successful deals, among ; them the sale of Dr. W. W. Peebles’ home to St. John’s A. M. E. church for a parsonage, and from a prominent white physician a homestead to Mrs. Evelyn Davis of South Dakota, are due to the ability and efficiency of this prominent young business man and dealer in real estate and loans, H. F. McClure, 220 South Thirteenth street, where he will gladly welcome any prospective customers and all of his old friends. THE OCTOBER CRISIS The Crisis for October is the annual Children’s Number. It contains photo graphs of seventy colored babies. The cover is a photograph from life by Scurlock. Two tales for little folk are published after Sir Harry H. I Johnston, with illustrations by Laura ' Wheeler. There are two poems, “O j Autumn, Autumn!” by Mary Effie : Lee, and “The Black Madonna and Her Babe,” by Lucy B. Watkins.

WILL RELEASE MINERS FROM THE ARMY I .-r1 British Government Will Send 10,000 Back to Mines, Believing They Can Be of Greatest Service There. So important is the mining industry to the success of the war that, accord ing to word which has reached the Department of Labor, the British gov ernment plans to return 10,000 miners to their work, releasing them from the army. These men entered the mili tary service voluntarily or under the conscription act, but because of the urgent need of their services at home they will be sent back to the mines. Great Britain, according to some in dications, is in danger of a coal short age, and efforts are being made gen erally to speed up production. The output per man in England is not, from figures at present available, so good as in this country, where more coal has been mined than ever before despite depletion of labor power through enlistment and the draft.
