ACUTE INDIGESTION
CURED BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK
PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE.
Every sufferer win Recognize the symp-
toms Described by Miss Rolling,
Inrmer snfferer.

Healthy and rosy-cheeked looking as
though she had ncver known a sick day,
Miss Helen Rolling has nevertheless
passed through intense suffering. To a
reporter who called ut her homo, No. 267
South Washington street, Columbus,
Ohio, she said
1.-TWO years ago I had an attack OF
acute indigestion, accompanied by ner-
yous troubles and dizzy spells. lost in
weight, my complexion became pale and
sallow, slight exertion made me breathe
hard and could not walk any distance
without getting all tired out. l became
alarmed and sought medical aid, but the
doctors Rayeme no lasting benefit and |
continued to grow worse. My stomach
could not digest even the simplest and
most wholesome food, and dieting did
not seem to help me. And | was so tired
and worn out all the while.
1T was Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People that cured mo- 1 read an
article somewhere telling what these
pills had done and began taking them.
Relief came almost Immediately l kept
on taking them andmy color came back,
| could eat again with relish and with
40 fear Of distressing consequences. /
began to feel strong and active and in
short time was restored to perfect
health"
What DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People did for Miss Rolling they
will do for others similarly afflicted as is
proved by thousands of cases on file.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure stomach
trouble by their tonic action, building
up the digestive organs and enabling
them to do the work that nature in
tended them to do. Artificial ferments
and predigested foods weaken the stom-
aeh in many cases. Medicines should
not do the stomach's work but should
put it i'll condition to perform its natural
functions A diet book giving useful
information will be sent free Oh request
by writing to the address below.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pals
People are sold at fifty centsa box or six
boxes for two dollars and fifty cents, and
may be had of all druggists, or direct By
mail from DR.. Williams Medicine Con-
pany, Schenectady, N. Y. They are
never sold in bulk or by the hundred.
Avoid limitations; substitutes never

MISS WHITES RECITAL.

Miss Mamie White, the fourteen-year-
Mrs George H. White, gave delight
full piano recital Wednesday evening,
Dec. 3Ist, at the residence of Miss Har-
riett Gibbs, her instructor. Miss White
was pleasingly assisted by Louise How
ard, who played with intelligence and
taste an "etude" of Matthews and Du-
rand's valse; Bessie Patterson, whose
number, He1lert's ''Tarantelle,' was we'll
executed; Ruth Grimshaw, who played
Haydn's Gypsy Ronds," and Bohm's
MAY Has Come" well indeed; Miss
Emily Harper who sang a contralto solo
with much success. Miss Whites num-
bers included Beethoven's SONATA opera
thirteen the Interpretation showing good
technique, clean clear, true and SYM
pathetic touch, and the gift of under
standing so scientific composer as Bee
thoven, which is not common in so young
a PLAYER. Each of the three movements
was entertaining1y analyzed by Miss
Gibbs, prior to being played. In Mosz-
kowski's serenata the beautiful melody
was kept clear and songlike, and the
Nollenhaupt etude was well played The
vase. Caprice, by Chaminade, which
closed the program, was most delightful
ly played, c1earness of tone, musicianly
thought, rapid and true execution as
we'll as the sensation of listening to
true conception of this choice musician
made the number one to Enger IN the
listeners ear and mind for long while.
Miss White has a true artistic tempera-
ment and her friends will watch her

What kind of premium does the new
constitution of Mississippi offer to the
thrift industry, mental and moral worth
of the Negroes of that Godforsaken
state
For years Mississippi has been synono-
nous with hell to Negroes who have
had to live in it. Those who have been
able to swallow their pride and forget
that they are men, have prospered, and
are prospering Those who did other
wise are not doing SO well, and what is
true in Mississippi is true of every other
southern state. There are lots of black
men leaders and would-be leaders, who
counsel submission, almost grovelling
submission to the diction of white men
in these states who believe they have a
divine right to rule everything in
sight I wouldn't give fifty cents a
bushel for all these leaders, nor all who
follow their lead-cringing submission to
another does not become any man, black
or white. Respect born of fear pro-
duces revolutionists. The Negro is
getting nightly like a revolutionist in
his ways and in his headpiece. The
white South will wake up some morning
and change its views about the Divine
Right of the white man to rule. There
is going to be the devil to pay before
the Negro comes into his own in the
South, and there is now no power on
earth that can keep him out of it
