 The shallow and silly theoretist who are continually harping upon race suicide have exalted mere supercihous g0hS into the dignity of social issue Eiiml- most sacred consideration of the home, the 'srace suicide" agitators are tampering with a dangerous subject They shout the cry of larger families without once giy- erty-stricken and dspraved parents who have neither the menas nor the capacity to care prorerly for the children they al- ready have.

 Tn every large city in our land and In many country districts there are children born in ignorance and squallor who might better be dead than dragging out their
 miserable lives in the condition provided them by their parents. The problem of the children of tenemsnts Is one that must be faced In all our great cities Tnia problem would be no problem at all were
 1t not for thefact that weak and degraaea parents bring children into the world
 without being able to minister to them or to properly care for them Yet such parents are lauded by the Trace suicide" tinkerers as far better citizens than tha father and mother who have few chil- ,lren that they are able to care for and
 educate into useful members of society. This Is a subject that may be left td the parents themselves. Instead of con- tiuualiy clamoring for larger families would be better if parents were compelled to properly rear and educate their ehii- dren The cheap and vulgar claptrap preaching of the Trace suicide enthu- siast will not affect the intelligent fafhera and mothers but 1t might increase tha number of Insane. criminal and paupea children who must be cared for by the state what America needs for It's preser- vation is not more children. but better children. not more recklessly prolific pa- rents but parents who will contribute to inc state a high standard of citizenship.

Cheap and Vulgar Claptrap Which Ought

 Kansas City Journal.
 While the dubious sanction of Haddism has been conferred upon the dictum of race suicide" and no less a person than President Roosevelt has extended his sponsorship to the theory. there are many sober-minded people who believe the agitation not only lacks the element of propriety. but that 1t is not sound in fact From the postulats that America needs more children to preserve the na- tionai traits and racial integrity it Is argued that one element of society is jus titled in demanding of another element that it assume the responsibilities of bringing children into the world regard less of the physical, moral. financial fitness of parents to take care of them
 But the acme Of official impertinence seems to have been reached in Massachu- setts. where the State census superin- tendent proposes to invade every home and ask every woman how many children she has and. in the event the answer does not Fatlsfy the enumeratoF. she will be asked why she hasn't more. After the statistics have been compiled they will he laid before the State legisia- ture with the probable recommendation that law be enacted providing penalty for each family that does not numerically grade up to standard.

The City Council.

The City Council met in regular monthly session tonight with all or the members present Considerable delay was caused on account of a misunder- standing as to the time of the meeting and when 1t was called at 7:30 only about half of the members were pre- sent. The meeting was opened and the minutes of previous session were read Mayor Atkins had made his recommendations when the rest of the members came and it had to be gone over again. Many corrections were then made in the minutes of the previ- ous session. r3-- 4--@. ~"r-
 Mayor Atkins recommended that the city take action in the matter of fight ing the case against Milas Martin. the negro who had instituted mandamus proceedings before Judge Miller to sell meats outside of the city. He ex- plained the situation to the Council and stated that in his decision Judge Mabry had said that the market clerk had to issue Martin a license if he ap- plied. but that he had not ruled that Martin could sell meat after he had secured the license. as the cisy was supposed to make It's own market regulations and that the question was one of vital importance, not only ar fecting the city laws but would also have some bearing on the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Judge MiIlers decision gave the privilege of selling meat until the matter could be decided by Judge Mabry and further proceedings would be taken in few days. Additional counsel has been secured to assist the City Attorney in the prosecution of the case. The Mayors recommendation in this matter received the hearty approval of council.
 Mayor Atkins also stated to the Coun- ell that during the month of August the quarantine had cost about $564,

 Plans for the improvement of the building on Broad Street owned ana occupied by the City National Bank have been submitted to President A. G. Parrish of that institution. AS yet none of the plans that have been sup mitted for the outward improvement of the building has been adopted put one of the plans will be agreed upon within the next few days and soon thereafter work will be commenced
 It is proposed that an entirely new front shall be put in, which will give the building, the home of one or the strongest financial institutions In the South. a neat and attractive appear ance. This front will be of marble, with large stone columns, which Wiii be ornamented with some kind or scholi work and will make the building one of the most attractive on Broad street. The inside of the building will also De thoroughly overhauled and will be nXed nm with the latest banking furniture
 It has been known for sometime past that the board of directors of the Clty National Bank has been contemplatlng the making of improvements to the building that they own and occupy Many were of the opinion that when if was finally decided to make these improvements the bank would purchase the adjoining building, which is owned by MT. Purifoy, and that on the two lots they would erect a handsome once building.
 But evidently this plan was not con sidered by the bank and if it was It was not thought well of by those who compose the board of directors of the institution. The two lots would be an ideal site for such a building and as this city is fast growing 1t is thought that such A building would prove to be a paying investment.

SCROFULA
 FROM PARENT TO CHILD

The laws of heredity are invariable and the diseased blood of parents is handed down to children in the form of Scrofula. Being thus deeply rooted nothing can reach the disease but con- stitutional remedy. The very foundation of the blood is diseased, and until it is purified and made strong, those who are born with a scrofulous tendency cannot have the blessing of robust health.

 Iinherited Sorofu1a from my ancestry, and this means, of course, weak, impure blood and a rundown, deb1lttated con" dition of the system.

 MRS. LOUISE COHEN,
 S. S. S., the king of blood purifiers, is the medicine that is required, because it changes the quality of the blood by cleansing 1t of all poisons and impurities, building it up and strengthening the en- tire system. When s. s. s. has restored the blood to a healthy condition and forced out the scrofulous deposits, there is sure return to health. No remedy has ever been found to equal this great vegetable preparation for the cure of all
