Society Girl
Lightens Skin
Three Shades
Discovers magic
double-acting bleach
She had thought her dark skin was
hopeless—that she would never have the
fashionable light skin of other girls. And
then she found this simple safe way to a
dear, creamy skin — Nadinola Bleaching
Cream. And in an amazingly short time
she discovered that her skin was actually
thre. shades lighter! Not only that—but
it was far softer and smoother—free from
blemishes and blotches.
Just smooth a little Nadinola on at
bedtime—no massaging, no rubbing. Then
while you sleep it immediately begins to
dissolve dark pigment. And remember it
has DOLBLE-ACTING qualities found
in no other product—that’s why it is so
remarkably quick and sure. Yet it is won
derfully gentle to sensitive skin.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
—or Money Back
Get a jar of Nadinola Bleaching Cream
at any toilet counter or by mail postpaid,
50c. If you are not delighted your money
will be cheerfully refunded. Don’t ruin
your skin with cheap bleaching creams,
ointments or lotions—insist on Nadinola
—tested and trusted for over a generation.

Proverbs and Parables
By A. B. Mann
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Finders Is Keepers
If something is found and the
owner cannot be discovered, of
course, the finder has a greater
right to the useof it than has any
other person. But honesty would
require that efforts be made to find
the owner and restore the property.
However, it is absolutely and palpa
bly dishonest to know the owner of
a lost article and still keep it. The
nature or character of one’s atti
tude and conduct in such a case
should square with the Golden Rule.
And, of course, each one would pre
fer the return of his lost property.
This should especially be impresed on
children in whom should be instilled
the principles of honesty. It is a se
rious mistake then, to allow children
to hear of such actions as picking up
a lost article and running away with
it, on the false assumption that
“Finders is keepers."
What Is Your Life?
By R. A. Adams
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
What is your life? It cometh
whence ?
From God, you ansewT? Yes, and
hence
By His unaltering decree,
To Him must final reck’ning be.
What is your life? Say, do you
choose
In helpful enterprise to use
The wonderous pow’rs which you
possess
Or spend your life in idleness?
What is your life? Shall it be
said
When you are run be red with the
dead,
You lived as duty binds you should,
In interest of human good?
If thus for others you shall live,
Best for your fellow-creatures give,
Then have no fear of consequence
Nor lack of ample recompense.
Crimes of Mothers
Against Their Children
By R. A. Adams
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
A little while ago, a mother and
her son were executed at the same
time. They were convicted of murd
er, the murder of the woman’s own
brother, whom they killed in order to
collect $2,000 of insurance on his life.
At the time of the execution, another
son was serving a life sentence for
partcipation in the same murder.
It was cruel enough and heartless
enough for the woman to take the
life of a human being, and that being
her own brother. The worse phase
of it was to lead her children into
crime and cause them to suffer. But,
this case is just one of the many in
which mothers commit erim.es against
thedr children. In this catalogue be
long selecting vicious ben to be their
fathers englecting their training dur
ing the formative years; indulging
them in indolence and encouraging
thee in dishonesty; profiting by the
dishonesty of boys and the immaral
ity of girls; setting an evil exxample
before them; and even these are far
from being all of the ways by which
mothers sin against their children.
Many mothers, like the one in
question, will repent when it is too
late, and remorse will be added to
other penalties they will pay for
their terrible crimes against their
children.

often passage is scanty and smarts and

right harmless and inexpensive way to
stop this trouble and restore healthy
action to kjdneys and bladder is to get
from any druggist a 35-cent box of Gold

ALTA VESTA
A GIRL’S PROBLEMS
By Videtta Ish
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Alta Vesta to Her Father—No. 15.
Dear Father: I have read your
dear letter. It is interesting as all
of your letters are and while it was
more busines than love, I know you
love me, anyhow. I have been think
ing of what you wrote about Easter.
I never thought of it that way be
fore, and I am wondering just why
I do want new things for Easter. I
suppose a big part of it is because
the other girls wil have new things
and every girl wants to look as well
as the other girls. I don’t want
these other girls to think that my
father is too poor or too stingy to
buy me new things like their fathers
buy for them.
Now father, since you are wise and
good and know what is best I will do
as you say, but I know I’ll be awful
blue if I don’t have any new things
for Easter. I thought people had the
right to have whatever they had
money to buy and didn’t have to
think about other people and what
they don’t have. Then, I wonder
what you mean by the Easter spirit
I don’t understand. Aunt Cornelia
says $8.00 will buy the new things I
want and she will tell you just what
the money was spent for. Good-bye,
Daddy.
Your Loving Daughter,
Alta Vesta.
Des Moines Has
Race Ideals
Des Moines, la., July 31, ANF
—This is truly the city of true
and genuine brotherhood. The
following item entitled “Procla
mation of Brotherhood” was
wirtten by Dr. S. Lane, white,
pastor of the Congregational
church, and the most popular
pastor in the city.
“We believe in the Father
hood of God and the Brotherhood
of man, and therefore we be
lieve that people of all races be
long to one family and are to be
respected and treated as children
of God and brothers of our own.
“We believe in the fundament
al principles of democracy which
lie at the heart of our American
life and which demand that equal
rights and opportunities be given
to all our fellowmen, regardless
of race, creed or color.
In the spirit of good will, we
pledge ourselves not only to our
belief, but t othe practise of it in
our every day life- And we call
upon all who believe in Brother
hood and in Americanism to a
like expression of their faith.
“The practice of brotherhood
means equality of economic op
portunity to people of the minor
ity races; ti means judging them
not by race or color but by indi
vidual merit; it means according
to them equal rights in restaur
ants, hotels, theaters, schools and
all public places; it means not on
ly charity but justice in every
field of human relations; it means
appreciation of and friendliness
toward all our fellow citizens, of
whatever race or creed or color
they may be.’’
“Proclamation of Brother
hood’' was adopted by the white
Ministerial Alliance and the Des
Moines Interracial Commission
had it printed on small cards and
distributed throughout the city.
There appears to be no race
discrimination here. Negroes are
permitted in al public places.
There are a number of interracial
marriages here. The total popu
lation is 142,000 5,0(0 of these
are Negroes. There are only 17,
000 Negroes in the entire State of
Iowa.
From this State many great
Negroes have come. Dr. George
W. Carver, Tuskegee scientist,
was reared and educated here, re
ceiving his degree from Iowa
State college in 1896.

WEEKLY SHORT
SERMON
By Dr. A. G. Bearer
By Dr. A. G. Bearer
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Text: Let Him be anathema.—I
Cor. 18:22.
To anathematize means to curse,
to cast out, to abandon to evil and
destructiion. There is the mistaken
idea that ecclesiactics have the au
thority or right to pronounce a curse
under certain conditions and for cer
tain crimes. But for all such it
would be well to consider the whin
ing declaration of Balaam who de
clared “I cannot curse whom God
hath blessed.”
One might ask, “Then, since a man
cannot curse another and make it
stick, not even a priest, then why
consider it? Why give any possible
attention to attempts to an&thema
thize?
In this case, as is true of all moral
digresisons, the sin is in the spirit,
the will. One may not be able to
kill another, but the will to do so is
murder. One may be prevented from
stealing, but if he decided to do so
and was hindered only by circum
stance, he is a thief, nevertheless. So,
in cursing or pronouncing a curse the
sin is in the malevolence of spirit
that wills misfortune to another. So,
to anathematize is a sin whether the
curse can be made to stick, or not.
Hospital Body Will
Meet in New Orleans
Dates for Sessions of National
Convention, August 11-12.
New Orleans, La., July31, (ANP)—
The National Hospital association
v-Hi'ch meets here August 11 and 12,,
will discuss major problems affect
ing Negro hosoitals throughout the
country, according to Dr. E. B. Per
rv, who is president of the Associa
tion.
He is also assistant-superintend
ent of Wheatley-Provident hospital
and is the son of Dr. J. E. Perry,
noted physician and surgeon of Kan
sas City.
“An important objective,” said Dr.
Perry, “will be to encourage more
hospitals to quality for A classifica
tion in order to become members of
the American College of Surgeons.
Other objectives will deal with the
1 interrelationship and cooperation of
hospitals for whites and Negroes lo
cated n the same community; the ap
nontment of Negro physicians on the
staffs of municipal hospitals, and the
appointment of white physicians to
the staffs of Negro hospitals.”
Organized n 1923.
The assocaton was organzed n 1923
Pt- Lous during the meeting of the
National Medical Association. Since its
organization, the National Hospital
asociation has stood for the promo
tion and development of better hos
pitals along with advansed medical
ca~» of the patients.
Various philanthropic agencies and
foundations have been interested to
hr tent, that many surveys and
statistical studies are now being made
with emphasis on the urgent need for
hospitalization of Negroes in the
South.
To give some idea as to the need
for hospitals in the South, for Ne
groes, there is eight-tenths of a bed
for every 1,00 Negroes in South Caro
lina. and one-fouth of a bed for an
equal number in North Carolina.
In add.tion there are 17,301 persons
to each Negro physician in South
Carolina
For Negro nterns there are no rec
onition available hospitals in the fol
lowing states: Oklahoma, Kentucky,
Texas, Arkansas, iMessissppi, Flori
da, West Virginia and South Caro
lina.
SAYS TULSA NEGROES
BENEFITED POLITICALLY
Tulsa, Okla., Aug. 1, (ANP) — Ne
groes in Oklahome have accomplished
more politically than Negroes in other
states, Dr. B. A. Waynes said last
week, because they have voted wise
ly.
Dr. Waynes is the superintendent
of the Municipal Hospital for Negroes
one of the finest of its kind for our
people, which was built by the county
and is maintained by it.
He explained that in addition to
giving Negroes a hospital, the coun
ty has given them a colored county
physician, public health nurse, county
dentist, school doctor and school
nurse, all colored.
“The reason folk received these ap
pointments,” Dr. Waynes explained,
“is because they worked hard to elect
the candidates, but refused to accept
one cent for their work. Many of
them, including myself, spent their
own money to defray campaign ex
penses. We were rewarded with
these appointments, but had we ac
cepted anything in advance for our
services we would not have been en
titled to these appointments."
Dr. Waynes is a graduate of How
ard university, Meharry and George
R. Smith college in Missouri.
