CARDS OF THANKS
Thanking our church Berean and
the many friends that were so kind
to our family in our bereavement of
our darling daughter, Ethel Thomas,
whom God called away on Nov. 30 at
1 p. m., after a sickness of four days.
Her last work was finished after she
attended a missionary meeting at La
Grange, 111., after which she straight
ened up her books here on earth. God
told her she had finished her work
here on earth and He wanted her to
come home, as He had a home for
her not made with hands. She is
safe in the arms of Jesus, and on her
Saviour's arm she leaned and for a
cross the hills and dark valley of
death they went in the new world
which and with the rude is old
old plough. Death turns up the sod
and spreads the furrows for the seed
she sowed. She is only sleeping.
Never more will she sit in the front
seat at Berean, her church she loved
so well. The Flower club, they, too,
shall miss her. There will be a va
cant chair.
Pains, like furnace heat within my
heart quiver.
God breathes and my heart with
in me shivers, but I say, God's will,
not mine.
God has chosen the front seat in
heaven for her. She has gone where
there is no sickness, nor sorrows, no
pain of death, where all is joy and
peace and love. We shall meet some
day. Our loss is her gain. She leaves
a mother, father, sister and husband
to mourn her loss.
By a devoted mother, Marie Jef
ferson, 5640 Wabash ave. Adv.

FREE TURKEY TO THE AGED
AND INFIRM.
The Sunshine Rescue Mission will
serve free on Christmas Day a warm
turky dinner to all the aged and in
firm of the city. The superintendent.
Rev. H. Franklin Bray, will be glad

HON. JOHN E. TREAGER
Vice-President of the Stockmen's Trust and Savinf Bask and Democratic
Candidate for Mayor ef Chicago, he U one of the most popular men
in this dty.
St. Louis, Mo. I wish you could
have been here in St. Louis and to
have seen all the things or some of
the things I have seen, I am sure
you would have been just shouting
as I am doing. When I get happy,
police and everything else must get
out of my way, for I am determined
to serve my God, and some day I
am going to make it up into the
skies. All I want is to keep out of
the way of the "flu." and make it
up some other way.
I am bound for the Promised Land
and as I looked at this great building
here which has been erected by the
Poro College Company, I can but say
that God had an object in making
short hair, in order that one should
serve another, and I am told that
Mrs. Malone in her girlhood days
had some of that short hair and many
of the girls found an opportunity to
laugh at her because of the short
ness of the hair crop around and
about her plantation. But now she
is able to supply some of them with
the methods of making their hair
grow beautiful, and, believe me, this
beauty business has made a great
improvement on our women, and this
you may consider when you arp at
leisure.
I was down in Arkansas last week
and beat it from Helena to this
place. Down there in Arkansas I
was with the Baptists attending the
Baptist state convention at the home
of Dr. E. C. Morris, and saw him
there making good among his broth
ers. He has been president of the
convention for a long time, but I
am not going to talk about that this
time, for I just want to empty my
self about what I have seen in St.
Louis and to say to you that I have
never in all my life seen anything
like it, and I just wish that I could
tell you so that you could just see
all that I have seen, and you would
then have but a slight idea of the
work which Prof, and Mrs. A. E.
Malone are doing to bless their race,
and I am right when I say race. It
it not a case of get all the wealth,
put it in your pocket, and forget
about your brother who is suffering
or your sister who had to come up
as you had to come, perhaps, sing
"Jordan, a Hard Road to Travel."
For a long time we heard here
and there talk about Mrs. Annie
Turnbo Pope, and later we saw at
tached to that name Malone, and
that completed her name. Side by
side they started out for one had the
goods and the other the pluck, the
business training, the ability to make
things go, and this is what happened.
They put Mrs. Malone's experience
and knowledge into the business and
Mr. Malone's training, and this then
started the work to going. Little
by little more people took to Poro
treatment, and little by little the
people learned how to use it until
now they have 25,000 agents and I
am not able to tell you how many
beautiful heads have been made by
Poro.
As God added to their store house,
they in turn added to others, until
one day there came an appeal from
the Y. M. C. A. for a new building.
They got down and prayed over it,
and the two, husband and wife, dis
cussed it after prayer, and the peo
ple were amazed when the subscrip
tion list headed with' $5,000 from
the Malones, and they have been giv
ing ever since. They have helped
churches, and now they have put
aside money enough to put $250,000
in one building, and this is what the
people from all parts of the coun
try came to see, and I am like that
woman in the Bible whose name I
don't remember who went to see some
big, wise guy. His sense was all in
his head and when that woman had
looked at him, she exclaimed, "The
half has not been told." I am say
ing that about this Poro building.
The St. Louis Republic says this
about it:
Description of the Building
The Poro college building on the
southwest corner of St. Ferdinand
and Pendleton avenues was designed
and erected under the superintend
ence of Albert E. Graves, architect,
and occupies an area of 142x137. It
contains three stores, mezzanine, be
sides a basement and roof garden,
and was designed in an adaptation of
the colonial style of architecture. The
material used on the exterior is a
dark red vitrous brick with white
glazed terra cotta trimmings cornice
and string courses.
It has a reinforced concrete skel
eton frame with brick enclosing walls
and is thoroughly fireproof. It con
tains a manufacturing department
for Poro products, together with the
general offices of the company; a de
partment containing 31 booths for
champooing, massaging, manicuring
and chiropody; four separate stores
and an auditorium which will seat 500
persons. The building also contains
'35 offices equipped for doctors and
dentists and also class, dining room,
kitchen, and 95 dormitory rooms for
Poro college, which gives instruction
in the treatment of the scalp and
hair, manicuring, etc. A large bath
department equipped with tubs, show
er, electric and vapor baths; also con
tains a large steam laundry, emer
gency hospital rooms, reception and
committee rooms. The building is
steam heated throughout and is
equipped with modern plumbing;
contains a model ice and refrigerat
ing plant, which furnishes refrigera
tion to all the ice water fountains,
the soda fountain, and refrigerates
the vaults which contain the goods in
the process of manufacture; also re
frigerates the ice boxes in connec
tion with the pantry and kitchen. It
has local and long distance telephone
connections from the rooms, every
one of which is an outside room.
The building is equipped with
pneumatic carriers, electric passen
ger and freight elevators.
The building cost upward of $250,
000 to build and equip and is one
of the largest and most complete es
tablishments of its kind in the coun
try. It is owned by the Poro Col
lege Company, of which Aaron E.
Malone is president, Annie E. Ma
lone, secretary-treasurer. The insti
tution formerly occupied alarge resi
dence at 3100 Pine street and has
had a rapid growth, due largely to
the business ability of Mrs. A. M.
Pope-Turnbo-Malone.
I got to town Sunday, and after
chatting a little with Rev. S. A.
Moseley, D.D., and then I went out
to the building. The first to claim
my attention was Hermes Zimmer
man, whose home is in Hadley, 111.,
back on the farm, but, believe me,
this farmer boy got him some educa
tion and he is doing things. He wrote
the song which was used to open the
building, "America, First and For
ever," and those who read, those who
sing music and play music say that
it was a masterpiece. He is a great
young man, and in him we have a
genius. He is still visiting the Ma
lones, and he can be reached there.
His music has been printed and looks
like that I have seen prepared by
white folks.
You have not been able to see so
many people and I must see them
for you, and it would not be out of
place for me to tell you about the
artists I have met here. There is
Mme. Wilhelmina B. Webster whose
home is in St. Louis, but she was not
born here; she is some pumpkins in
this world, and I am glad to be able
to tell you about her. She came into

HELLO LIFE, HELLO DEATH
1919 1918
By William Moore
GREETINGS TO ALL
Hello life, hello death!
A word with thee both on the neadow
ways,
A word with thee from the Spring
song days,
And a drink from the waters the
river gives
Where love is adrift with the dream
that lives,
And the light that plays,
Hello life, hello death!
Hello death, hello life;
A night with thee when the half-
souled moon
Listens pallid and silent to the half
dream tune
You get from the heart of a lovely
one,
Who sang with thee when her labor
was done,
To her babe sleep's croon;
Hello death, hello life!
Oh! Life, Oh! Death,
There is no end to song,
There is no end to light,
E'en tho the time is not long
To the end of to night;
Hello life, hello death!
