They MANY SUDDEN DEATHS SOUND WARNING Precautionary Measures Will Reduce the Large Number of Persons Sud denly Called to Great Beyond The human family, especially those who claim age as distinctive of being “grown up,” Is, in reality, a child. By saying a child, even though it has had experience to age in the majority o! instances it only touches the surface of things that are most essential to longevity marked by health-giving practices, such as proper feeding reg u'.ated by time, sufficient outdoor exer cise and normal sleeping hours. Yet, with the American method of cooking, we more often do ourselves more seem to have lost interest in The Monitor. In the economic readjustment that is r.ow taking place, the members of our race that failed to heed the very sound and sane advice so often given in the columns of The Monitor will be lost in the shuffle. “Watch, work and try” should be the motto of every enteiprising Negro.

Hemphill, Ii. H. Outerbrldge and Herbert Putnam, librarian of congress Issued an appeal for subscriptions ti the fund for rebuilding the Louvali library. Of the $500,000 needed, the committee said, only $150,305.58 had been raised. Contributions may be sent to J. P. Morgan & Co. or Doctoi Butler at Columbia. What Germany Must Do. P. Ladeuse in his communication says: “It is Impossible that the com mittee of the United' States should not carry out successfully the plan which It has solemnly begun," and adds: “Article 247 of the treuty of Vej sallies says ‘that Germany pledge* herself to furnish to the University at Louvain within three months following the fine that demand will he made of her by the reparation commission manuscripts, incunabula. printed books, maps and rare objects corre sponding In number and value to sim ilar objects destroyed In the Are set by Germany In the Louvain library." It Is simply a question of the execu tion of this article. “Since the Germans are pledged to deliver to us books, manuscripts, etc., corresponding In number and value to those which we had, we. have beep obliged to make a declaration as to what we had. We have, then, furnished lists of the hooks, manuscripts and In cunabula which were burned on the 28th of August, 1914, hut It has been Impossible for us to furnish complete lists since all of the catalogues were also burned In the Are. Value Fixed at 5,000,000 Franca. “Therefore In order to establish a record of all that which we had and which ought to be returned to us we have been obliged to resort to general tarms to fix an estimate of the value of our books, manuscripts, etc. The Germans have recognized that this value can be Axed at 5,000,000 francs. They will be obliged then to deliver to ns: “(1) Books which we can prove were In our library, and (2) other hooka In accordance with our needs so that the total value of the two categories ef books which they will deliver to OS ■hall amount to about 5/100,000 francs. 'I say ‘about* because In that Agon are also Included the rare objects that wore burned. “It Is a question of a simple state ment of the German obligation. And. you see, In all this there Is not a cen time for the building of the library which your committee has been good enough to ask us to reserve to It. We do not expect a centime from the Ger mans for thut purpose, since the build according to the opinion of Mr. A. J. Hemphill, must be entirely dls tlnct from the burned ‘Halles.' “Op to the present time we have not received a single bonk from Ger many. Let us hope that we shall not be too disappointed." The funds subscribed have already been turned over to the Louvain au thorities and work on the new struc ture will begin soon. — 4 .n < Y < i ( » - 1 < i « i i i < i • ! < ! « i « ! « I « > < * > « « * - I ' I - I < ' ' I | : v i i Subscribe for The Monitor.

Rats Cause Loss to Cans Growers. Cane growers In I'orto Itlco estimate their annual loss at $75,000. due not only to the cane actually destroyed, but also to the fermentation set up In the oune Juices In the stalks that had been gnawed upon, thus reducing the purity and the sucrose content. This loss was based upon the estimate that only one half of 1 per cent of stalks were attacked by rats; but In reply to Inqulrles^ie estimates made by different planters varied from 1 per cent to I per cent of stalks attacked by rodents.
