Dancing Academy Will

Campaign Against Dance in

the members of the academy of the
Mastery of Dancing, or Art, of Ele

their meeting In a few weeks.
What with the veto of the French
bishopß and the (dories of Vatican In

The matter touches the dancing
masters In the most vulnerable part

the ArchblHhop of Parle.
They claim the whole campaign
ugainot the dance in re«pectahle Paris

England and the leading continental
countries will meet lor the first time in
an International Congress on a purely
social question and a definite code of
tango dancing will he drawn up.
But, after all, it appears that their
l-iliors will be wasted, for two new
dances the "ta-tso” (the bride's dance)
and the fnkuen are on , the eve of
knocking out the tango anyhow These
are two Chinese dances which may he

Be Without Bread 4 Days
After War is Declared
Paris Realizes What Would
Be Result of Struggle; In
troduce Food Measure.
Pari*.—ln case of war the city of
Paris would probably find Itself with
out bread within four days. This alarm
hoa been sounded by tha municipal
council after a thorough study of th*
possibilities and the announcement haa
resulted In a popular demand for meas
ures to Hsattre an ample food supply
In case of a conflict. The minister
of war apd th* under-secretary of
state have decided to take up the
whole question with the municipal
council for further atudy with an en
deavor to solve the problem.
Military authorities point out that
1 during th# first few week* of moblllra
{ tlon In cose of war, all railroad trains
and lines would he reserved exclusive
ly for military trains and no supplies
for th# civil population could be trans
ported. It has been proposed among
other things to buy 10,000 tons of flour
to he kept in a public warehouse and
to be used as necessity arises. It Is
suggested that the state contribute
Immediately s*o,ooo as a first payment
toward this and the ftiunlcipallty 140,-
000 While the problem of a sufficient
supply of flour and wheat Is considered
most Important the authorities are also
planning to conserve stocks of other
necessary things, Including wood, coal
and oil.
If, says Commander IJrlant, a well
known retired army official, “an order
of mobilisation were given on Thurs
day, Paris would have neither
milk nor meat at the beginning of
next week. Another important ques
tion Is that of the water supply. I
would ask what Parisians would drink
were Purls Invested and cut off from
its water supply. This is a phase of
the problem that the commission which
has been studying the subject might
consider thoroughly. We have ar
rived at a time wlien all the problems
of national defence must be considered
without delay.”
Chronic Constipation Cured.
”1 had been troubled with chronic
constipation for two years and tried
all the best physicians In Bristol,
Tenn., and they could do nothing for
im*. Two packages of Chamberlain's
Tablets cured me,” writes Thos. E.
Williams, of Middleboro, Ky. For sale

THE MENACE OF
THE -
MULATTO PROBLEM
Is the Negro Question
“Settling Itself?”
“The Negro question is settling itself,” they tell ns, and The Pro
gressive Farmer almost alone among the bigger Southern journals today is
scientifically probing to the bottom of the whole great problem to see how
it is being “settled.”
Did you know, for example, that from 1870 to 1910 the number of
mulattoes in this country increased from 584,049 to 2,050,686 or over 251
per cent—whereas the number of full blooded negroes increased only from
4,295,960 to 7,777,077, or 81 per cent?
In other words, there are not even twice as many full blooded ne
groes as there were in 1870, but there are nearly four times as many mulat
toes. The Progressive Fanner of February 21st will present some amaz
ing figures and some notable utterances by P.ev. A. H. Shannon, Prof. T.
,J. Brooks, Senator B. R. Tillman and others about this whole big, sinis
ter, loathsome subject. It is not going to be pleasant reading, but it’s
mighty necessary reading and in many respects astounding reading, and
ought to arouse the whole South to action concerning the perils that con
front ua.
Look out for it. Many other equally notable scientific article on
“The Negro and Southern Farm Life” will follow.
Send ten cents for a ten week’s subscription including a copy of this
