\.r INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
J? ' ? POLIOMYELITIS, the scientific
name for lnfantll^ paralysis, la one
of the most democratic and deadly
,ot mil diseases known to man in that
It gttrfccta young and old. rich -and
* poor, "and colored and white alike.
* , For these reasons, whatever contribution*
we can make to the President's
birthday fund celebrating his
" !piamond Jubilee should be made
* iWw. "?j
So mo people hare objected to making
contributions because of tbe al-|
leired discrimination sealnst NocroM
at Warm Springs. Georgia, the chief
. center of the hospital devoted to the
care of till* deadly disease: while
this true aa well as discriminations
against the Negro In every phase of
American life, there Is nevertheless,
the hope that whatevr scientific advances
are made, will redound to the
benefits of all humanity ? then; the
Negro can say that he has played
his part to mafce the world a more
v healthy place In which to live for all
, of mi.' y'-'
Business opportunities
. fOr young people.
Kvec now that, we are engaged In
a great world war, the problems of
fitting oneself for a normal, healthv
life are ever present. Large number*
of men will not lie used for military
service, especially the younger men.
This will mean that earlier than I

PRESIDENT F. D. BEDFORD'S
ACCIDENT.
A few weeks ago the great pre*
dent of A. and T. College slipped e
the Ice covered sidewalks of the co
lege and aerloualy hart himself.
The Future Outlook joins with h'
many well wishers La hoping that h!
recovery will be early itnd that th*i
will be no serious after effects thi
will prevent hlro'from carrying fo
ward the great work that he Is di
Ing at A. and T. College. u
THE WAR AT A GLANCE.
the newspapers are full of storii
of the battles of Russia. Africa ar
the Far East, yet for the majorlt
of us the' war Is still, seemingly. I
another world. Were It riot for tt
Increased cost of a few Items, ti
purcnaaing or a Tew bonds an
stamps or the denial of the nee of
fe wUems of our dally life, many <
ua personally would declare that tl
war wag a clream. Such la the istaj
of thing at the present time. In ti
future the war promises to be tnoi
telling on tia In every wa/T Now
la far away.
All of this goes to show that n
of us Just aren't sarllke and hoj
flown In our hearta that the dlr
business will soon be over and, in
we (vonld like to get It over by pa
Ing someone else to do li'for ua. J
a people we like to pay for c
'charity, our crime, our scientific 1
vestlgatlon, our education "and o
wars! It appears, however, that tli
*ar is going to be different "in th
ik will require all that we have n<
or will get In the future in room
materials and men becanae n
enemies are prepared and " me
business. They are out to win baa
on generations of endocturtnation
a eode of destructive superiority.
.What we need, therefore, ts
teallre that In this war there i
only Winner* and loners and to lw

A GOOD WIFE. . v
* Thousands of spoken and written
words bare gone Into attempts to
coovey to others the true meaning
of a good wife.
on.
To some men a wife must be an
in understanding and useful Individual.
It. To others sbe should be a good listener,
healthy so as not be continually
In the doctor's office or the
r" drug store and above all abe should
y look up to him aa the master of the
house while accepting whatever
money and clothing that Is given her
without question. Still othere think
c of^ a good wife aa a aplrltnal companion
without whom It would be
lmpnaslble to carry on. She la a ocinfort
to her children In always point*
log them to the highest "goals attainable;
and to her husband, she Is
h the reason for his becoming the outte
standing person that be Is In the
lr community. .
y While it is hard to say exactly
n what a good wife Is to every huaband
because men differ to theli
fundamental taste. It can be said,
however, that It Is she who is able
to consider the job of belog a wife
as a serious one and 14 able to put
j- herself Into It accordingly, for after
h ull It Is a job that a girl Bhould
j. approach In such a manner.

they would hare been glad perhaps a
of a summons to a more easeful occupation:'
but this was not the nature e
of their call. He wauld take them off e
the lake, lying among It* sheltered *
hills, and put than upon the ocean.

He trod the country over In search ^
for the most useful thin* they could '
do or say In the Interests or In the Tl
service of their fellow men. ?
Fishers of men they were to be. 5*
They were to go forth to catch men.
I as He caught them that day. They si
| were to live lives that would take >li
hold'of others as his life had taken Ifl
jhold of them. ft
It was not by accident that Jesus h!
chose these'fishermen as his first tl
i disciples. He knew that knowledge of n
j their craft-would teach them the re
I need of long and patient effort. As ?tl
| the fish could ?K>t be compelled to w
takke the hook, so men .could not be tl
cudgeled Into his kingdom; but with a
jthe tact, skill, and paUent effort,of
fishermen the result might be accom- ^
| pllahed. So He summoned them to y
sacrifice and service, and something
In His call to hold hold ImperloitBl; y
upon their wills. It was as if an dec- y
trie sparlr shot into their souls and QI
fused th?n wlth'Hla own..They left 0l
their nets and follow Him. . ^
All men must leave their nets when ^
Christ's call comes to them; for his Rj
emphasis la not upon that which la ^
immediate And temporary but upon cj
that which Is unseen and eterpal. But
is It not enough thai ^Be calls l??

I the.world and whose kingdom113 an

for Himself. fae claims the personal ?j
love and loyalty of the heart To be

. MODERN EVANGELISM.
Jesus did not call his first disciples
?Simon, Andrew, James and John?
at random. He knew He would have
to train those who were to help Hlra;
but He wanted men who ere capable
of receiving the training He would
give than. V * " J *
Jesus saw that they had the capacity
for harA work. They ' were
bnay washing'and mending their nets.
He noted, too, that they had the capacity
for ready obedience. Deplt*
the fact that they had labored all
night and caoght nothing, they, let
down the nets for another draft at
Hla direction. He noted, also, tha
tbey had the capacity for prompt de,
clsion. When He Invited thein to become
His followers, they accepted
.' the Invitation at once. And He noted,
I further, that they were capable of a
great loyalty. They left all they had
to follow. Him.
