HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Dangerous High Blood Pressure (Es
sential Hypertension) is usually marked
by distressing symptoms such as dizzi
ness, throbbing headaches, sleepless
ness and nervousness. If disregarded,
this may lead to Heart Trouble, Stroke,
Paralysis, Hardening of the Arteries or
Kidney Trouble. Diamonex, new dis
covery of a heart specialist, is designed
to quickly aid in the relief of these
symptoms.
A Chicago resident says: “I suffered
from High Blood Pressure for several
years with increasingly severe throb
bing headaches, dizziness and shortness
of breath. I showed the Diamonex for
mula to my doctor and, on his advice,
tried the treatment for two weeks un
der identical conditions as previous
treatments. Within only three days my
bad headaches and dizzy spells were
gone. My high blood pressure was re
duced and I sleep fine."
Diamonex goes directly to work in
three different ways to aid in the relief
of these dangerous symptoms. Results
are speedy—within as short a time as
two weeks sufferers often find that
Diamonex has accomplished 75%
of the total reduction possible with
this formula. If you suffer from High
Blood Pressure you may try DIA
MONEX without risking a penny. To
, introduce this wonderful treatment to
a million new sufferers this liberal trial
offer is made for a limited time only.
SEND NO MONEY—just your
name and address to the Diamonex
Company, 1077 London Guarantee
Bldg., Chicago. Illinois for a regular
$2.00 treatment of Diamonex for only
$1.00 and a few cents postage. Use
Diamonex according to the simple di
rections for only two weeks. If, at the
end of that test period you are not
delighted with results your money will
be refunded immediately on request.
There are no strings or conditions—
you owe it to yourself to make this
wonderful test at once. Wrrite today as
this offer is fully guaranteed.

‘THE HUMAN FAMILY”
(by Myrtle M. Goodlow)
In the human family
How can there be
A superior race of men
Or an inferior—when
From one blood God created
all men.
And commanded them to love
one another as a brother.
But sinful man in order to
please himself —
Put part of God’s word on the
shelf,
And only believed what he
wanted to receive.
Because man failed to keep the
laws of God and Christ
The world is in a sorry plight.
Nations have sealed their fate —
Through prejudice and hate
And willfully destroyed,
All they once enjoyed.
For man’s evil deeds of lust
and greed
Has turned the world into a
battlefield.
With death and destruction on
every side,
Because God’s law was cast
aside
Lasting peace shall never be
until all men are free.
So in the crucial hour to come
We pray O God, Thy will be
done,
For the cries of war shall not
be stilled,
Till Thy sacred word has been
fulfilled.
For Thy word O God still
stands,
And the fate of nations in Thy
hands.
PRINCESSES
The meeting was held at the
home of Archie Mae Young 2624

TO INDUCT 175,000 NEGROES
INTO ARMY
During the current year War
Department and Selective Service
plans contemplate the induction
of approximately 175,000 Negroes.
This is based upon the overall in
crease in the Army and the per
centage of colored to white regis
trants. Due to the present exist
ing shortage in housing facilities,
it is probable that this increase
wil lbe distributed rather lightly
in the early months of the year,
but will increase materially dur
ing the late spring, when construc
tion projects will have been com
pleted. The War Department
plans to distribute Negroes to the
various units of the arms and ser
vices.
