WOMEN ARTHRITICS ,

NJ3W YORK While the vari¬

dJacriminately people of all

rheumatoid arthritis affects
proportionately so many more

be quite accurate to say that
women have a special Interest
in the effort of the Arthritis |
and Rheumatism Foundation

ffome clue to the reason !« r :
tjh<? higher incidence of the d;s-
ease among women may be
fotfnd in the fact that the sym
ptoms disappear during preg¬
nancy. The number of remis¬
sions thus achieved is over¬
whelmingly impressive and con¬
clusive. At least 95 per cent of
arthritic women who become
pregnant arc relieved. Shortly
after conclusion of the preg¬
nancy, however, the disease re¬
turns.
To date, attempts to discover
a cure for rheumatoid arthri¬
tis by following lines of scien¬
tific research suggested by these
facts have been unsuccessful.

“It At has Utth been 1 c* a fruitful year J ^ —

“A universal cancer cure is still

“Pathologists, biochemists and
physicists have made some ex¬

in a small but significant de¬

Christians should not vote for
noney, but for the good of the
persecuted, and oppressed. By
doing so, all people will have
onfidence in us and will do
.tore for the race in general.
Let us stop and think. If the
candidates are going to pay us
0 vote for them, then they
mow that they owe us nothing
when they are in office; tor
hey paid us for working for
them to put them in office-
You and everyone else know
that everyone who votes for
one evil is voting for the things
that all preachers have been
talking and telling the people
.hey were against.
Not for. one kind of racket,
iut for all kinds of evil. The
gamblers are so sure now that
they are going to win until
they have already started back
selling numbers and other
forms of gambling.
Now if we are goiiy? to sup¬
port this, (hen we ought to
stop preaching and tell the
people that we are going to
amble 1 *--- for ~ our ---- ' living ^ and not
fight for God. I have seen
nany try it, Kllf but t.hPV they OrPnOmllV generally
die a pauper and leave a dis¬
grace behind them for their
children and family to face
after they are gone. They nev¬
1 er prosper long.
I think every preacher ought
to go and teach the people the
best thing for their soul’s sal-
ivaticn and for the betterment
of their temperal life as well as
spiritual.
I am hoping that everyone
will go to Jhe Poll Tuesday and
vote, not for money, not lor
favoritism, but for an honest
principle, for the good of our
city.

2 NEGRO WOMEN TO
BECOME CATHOLIC
SISTERS
AUGUSTA, Ga—Two young
ladies from Augusta have en¬
tered the same Catholic con¬
to become Catholic sisters,
has been learned here. They
the Misses Mary E. Harri¬
and Mary L- Wright, both
whom are now in New York
preparing to enter the Sis¬
of the Handmaids of
the Most Pure Heart of Mary.
Beth young ladies are recent
graduates of Catholic high
school of Augusta. Miss Harri¬
son is a native of Columbus,
Ga„ where her father still re-
ades. Miss Wright is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs- Fred
Wright of this city.
As sisters, the young women
will devote themselves to teach¬
ing and social work among Ne¬
groes.
Before becoming sisters, how¬
ever, all applicants are required
to undergo a two-years’ spirit¬
ual formation under the order’s
direction. At the expiration of
this time, the young women
take vows of poverty, chastity
and obedience and are receiv-
ed into the Sisterhood.
