EBBATED THKIK TWENTIETH

Dear Sir:
Owing to a discussion which arose
in the Alpha Suffrage Club a week or
two ago relative to my length of serv
ice in club work, I made the remark
that I had organized the L B. W. Club
two years before my marriage and it
"was that, club which gave me such a
magnificent wedding reception. I also
said that my twentieth wedding anni
versary would be June 27th. Some one
asked if. I was going to celebrate it
and I said the only Tray I could do
so would be to announce that my- bus-
""band and I would De af home to any
friends who wished to call in and of
fer their congratulations. Some one
wanted to know the time -and I replied
that the only time we were "At
Home," even on Sunday, would be be
tween 8 and 10 P. M.
Accordingly that statement was made
in the papers and members of the I. B.
W. and Alpha Suffrage clubs and the
Negro Fellowship League, and other
friends called and we spent a very
pleasant evening, but there was no for
mal announcement or invitations sad
that is why I -wanted this notice pub
lished, because so many of my friends
since then have said they were slight
ed by, sot receiving an invitation or
notification.
Although 'there "was no formal invi
'tation or any expectation of presents,
both Mr. Barnett and myself are yexj
glad to acknowledge the receipt of two
beautiful and costly pieces of rhina.
The L B. W Club gave a beautiful
"hand painted china pitcher and the
Alpha Suffrage Club a dozen hand
painted plates to match a tea set which
' -we already own. Both of these works
of art were entirely unexpected and
all tho more appreciated. For another
reason they are valuable to us, because
the artistic work on them was done by
Mrs. Margaret Anderson, one of the
old, members of the L B. W. and one of
. the. finest china painters in the city of
Chicago. For this reason and because
of the lov.e and appreciation of the
club members, they are especially val
uable. Very truly yours

Waring is an expert athlete; and after

his inside vest pocket and which he
had collected that day for one of his
many White clients.
At the time he was attacked he was
several blocks away from the home of
Mrs. Novels. He called for help, but
no one came forth to assist him. He
was finally conveyed to his home by
one of the sons of Mrs. Novels, who
had been called up from a near-by drug
store.
Mr. Waring states that "he was
right up to death's .door," and he and
his many friends feel that it was really
a miracle that he managed to free him
self from the robbers.

ALPHA SUFFBAGE CLUB.
Men members and friends gathered
at 3005 State Eftreet on last Wednesday
evening at the meeting of the Alpha
Suffrage Club To hear Miss Sophie Boaz,
Juvenile officer, speak on "Tho Moth
ers' Pension Bill." Much interest was
manifested especially in view of the
fact that very few Colored mothers
are getting the benefit of this pension
law. Several of them spoke of. having
made application for the same and that
they were turned down for first one
reason and then another. Out of Borne
three hundred mothers who received
aid from the pension law which enables
them to stay home and take care of
their children, only fifteen of them were
Colored. It was pointed out by the
president that the reason Colored peo
ple fared so badly in the distribution
of city and county patronage, is-because
they nave not one strong central organ
ization representing the Colored people.
On next Wednesday the club will have
a musical and social. Summer vacation
begins.

The Political Pot Has
Started to Boil and
Bubble. Many Demo
cratic and Republican
Candidates Have Enter
ed the Race to Capture
the Nominations for the
Big Political Offices in
1916. There Will be a
Hot Clash Between the
Followers of Hon.
Charles S. Deneen and
The Supporters of Col.
Frank 0. Lowden
Tho fight is already on between the
various contending factions belonging
to tho Democratic and Republican par
ties and all signs indicate that the
fighting will be very bitter from now
until the presidential primary which
will be held April 11, 1916, the hardest
fighting will be between tho followers
of the Hon. Charles S. Deneen and tho
supporters of Col. Frank O. Lowden
those living in their respective camps
will fight to the death, the great bone
of contention will be to capture the
nomination for Governor and to nomin-,
ate their candidates for the other big
state offices.
Mayor William Hale Thompson wilL
unite his city hall forces with those of
Col. Lowden and make a desperate ef
fort to displace or unhorse the Hon.
Boy O. West as the Illinois member of
the Republican national committee.
Notwithstanding the fact that a royal
battlo. will be waged against the Hon.
Charles S. Deneen and his adherents
he still feels confident that he will
his own against the onslaught of Messrs.
Lowden and Thompson and that he will
still be able to continue to control the
Republican machine throughout the
state of Illinois.
The wise Democratic politicians that
the Hon. William FJza Williams, Con
gressman at large will receive the nom
ination for governor over the Hon.
Edward F. Dunne, so must it bo so;
that the Hon. Roger C. Sullivan and his
aids throughout this state will eventu
ally march under the honor of Con
gressman Williams who will put the
present governor out of the running.
So far the following Democratic and
Republican candidates have entered tho
race for the various big state offices in
1916.

LOCKJAW.
Lockjaw also called tetanus is an
infectious disease characterized by ton
ic spasms of the muscles with marked
recurrences. The poison is produced
by a gorm or microorganism called the
bacillus of tetanus, which occurs in
earth, in putrefying fluids and in and
about stables. The tetanus bacillus
is a normal inhabitant of the intes
tines of many herbivorous animals.
The germ was discovered in 18S4 by
Nicodner and is universally acknowl
edged to be the cause of lockjaw.
There aro several varieties of. the
malady. As a rule there is a definite
history of a wound or injury but some
times there being no such history, the
disease is called idiopathic. When it
occurs in the new-born it is called
trismus neonatorum. When it occurs
in confinement cases it is known as
puerperal tetanus. The disease has re
ceived a number of names selected be
cause of tho seat of injury or port of
entry of the bacillus and because of the
principal symptoms.
The disease is more likely to occur
in injuries of the hands and feet,
especially in punctured and contused
wounds. The symptoms usually appear
within two weeks after the injury and
after the wound has healed. The toy
pistol has been responsible for many
cases of lockjaw; it has also followed
many times the careless use of the hyp
odermic needle iu the bands of mor
phine addicts. Tho poison is formed at
the site of the wound or injury and
travels by way of the nerve. It is one
of tho most poisonous substances known
to science. Tho symptoms do not arise
immediately, as in the case of most
poisons. They arise after the injury
Is forgotten, in many eases and after
healing because the germ grows best
when air is absent.
The chief symptoms of tetanus are
muscular contractions accompanied by
