Children

Give them oil-cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
full child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anemic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full Of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.

Children often cry, not from pair
but from hunger, although fed
abundantly. The entire trouble
arises from hamilton, their food is
not assimilatcd, but devoured by
worms. A few doses OF Whites

to cease crying and begin to thrive

LIBERTY TO THE BoERs.


The British government is not
altogether hoggish. 1t does not
want quite the whole earth and the4
fuIlness thereof. It's Is willing to
rive little of the fullness to its
former enemies and if the United
States would be equally as liberal,
the disgraceful PHILIPPINE war would
soon be ended:
AS announced the terms Of the
peace negotiated in South Africa
concede to the Beers almost every
thing-except their Independence.
The first stipulation that they 'are
to lay down all their arms and recog-
nize the sovereignty of King Ed
ward, " is the only one that gives
Great Britain anything. This is a
great deal, and the British Govern
ment will insist that it is the one
vital thing for which the war was
fought.
All the ether stipulatIons are
favorable TO the Boers. All the
prisoners are to be brought back to
South Africa, and Great Britain
pledges herself that ''they shall not
suffer the loss of liberty or property. y
in the schools wherever the parents
desire It, and to be used in the courts
! when necessary. The burghers are
+to retain rifles for self-protection. .
No special tax is to be levied on the
Transvaal to pay the cost of the war
The rebels of Cape Colony and
Natal are to be tried by the laws OF
their respective colonies and are to be
"dlsfranchlsed for life, - but mo death
penalty will be inflicted" This will
disappoint vengeance-seekers of the
Radyard Kipling type, but it is
worth nothing that the Commons
greeted the declaration with "great
cheering"
BY far the most important stipula-
ton of the treaty is the sixth, in
which Great Britain binds herself
before the world as follows:
The military administration of the
! Transvaal and Orange River Colony
will, at the earliest possible date, be
succeeded by civil government, and
rs seon as circumstances determine
representative institutions leading
up to self-government will be intro
duced.
Furthermore, the British Govern
ment is to appropriate $l5.0o0,O0C
for the purpose of restocking the
Boer farms, and in addition will
make advances on loan for the same
purpose, free of interest, for two
years, and afterward repagable over
a period of years at 8 per cent. in

wHEN ROOSEVELT COMES.

The esteemed Meridian Press says
Governor Longino did the right and
proper thing to invite Teddy Roose-
welt to go bear hunting in Missis-
sippi.
The accuracy of this statement
may well be called in question. For
Roosevelt, the man, no true south
erner can have great respect. No
self-respecting and decent home-bred
bear would want to be shot by man
who ISLANDERS and traduces the best
people of the country in which it was
born and bred, and it is an insult to
the Mississippi bears to bring him 10
the state Of Jefferson Davis. the
latchets Of whose shoes, if he was
living, Roosevelt would not be wor-
thy to unloose. His comparison Of
this great Mississippian TO Benedict
Arnold was fragrant and impfoas
insult. His speech on decoration
day added insult to injury His
references to the noble amen who
fought in the southern army were
untrue. inpolltic and insulting tt
