gave him very severe diarrhoea which
1T seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June tho case became so
bad he expected to die. One dny one of
his neighbors brought him ono small
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope.
A big dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in great
agony. and in a few minutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect of tho
medicine was soon noticed and within
an hour tho patient was taking his first
sound sleep for a, fortnight. That ono

he cannot help but feel grateful. The

Smoking In Spain.

In Spain people smoke incessantly
under all conditions, Mt all hours and
In all places, except in church. Men
smoke In the railway carriages; they
smoke In all the tram cars; they smoke
In all the minor theaters; they smoke
In all the restaurants. IN the hotel din
Ing rooms, and, Of course, in the cafes.
In business offices the merchant and
his clerks smoke. In shops the shop
man, while trying to sell goods to n
lady, will stop to roll cigarette,
which. when lighted, he Will pun In
her face. You see conductors and
drivers of tram cars smoking. All tho
hackney cabmen smoke all the time,
while even coachmen and footmen OF
private carriages sometimes smoke on
tho box. Beggars approach you, ciga-
rotte IN mouth to whine for aims. If
you ask for tickets at railway office,

South African Company Asks Nogro'
| Holp In Transveal Race Problem.
Booker t. Washington, the ia
nous negro educator of Tuskegee
Ecalled OH President Roosevelt la g
Thursday afternoon seeking tn,
Presidents advice. -
Lord Grey, president of tn,
British South African company, hal
asked Washington to 60 to South
Africa to study racial conditions
and outline plans for improving
the educational and moral condi.
tions of the negroes.
The race problem in South AT.
rica is giving England considerable
cause for worry. The conquered
Beers are leaving, the farms and
villages Of the Transvaal in large
numbers. The negro population
of the country is unsettled, and in
spite Of liberal offers from the
British government to aid them,
they decline to take places as TIL.
lers of the soil.
Relying On Booker Washington's
success in training American no.
groes in industrial pursuits, it is
hoped by the South African com,
pany that the American negro od.
ucator will be able % induce the
South African blacks to take up
agricultural pursuits. The task
Washington is asked to perform
would require his presence in the
Transvaal for at leas;t six months.
He has been consulting with With
friends as to whether or not it
would be advisable for him to
leave his work at home for that
length Of time.
President Roosevelt advised
Washington no to accept the offer,
telling him that he was needed at
home to ai0 in the solution of the
negro problem. 1t is probable that
this advice will he followed, and
the offer will he declined.
