HONOR TO WHOM IT IS
DUE.

There Is an abundance of Op-
portunity for everyone to do some
thing to better the condition Of
the people all over this country,
as well as in each locality. Many
are the grave problems that are
springing up before us, and many
of these have to do with the race
that we are a part Of. AS we
watch from year to year the work
ing of the statesmen at the uatio-
nal capital, as well as in each
state, We see nothing more potent
than christian education, what
ever else may be said, the relig-
ion of Christ tends to good citi-
zenship. If we are right surely
this should start every patriotic
citizen Of every denomination, as
we'll as with those of no religious
{ = =
belief, for the lifting OF all to a
better citizenship. This will
tend to, solve some of the most
serious racial problems. We do
not depreciate other forces or in
dividual work. God speed every
individual whose helping hand is
underneath this dispised race.
But have you stopped to con-
slider the small number who are
really doing something for hui
manity; or have you considered
the great host who can't do any
thing themselves and are trying
to prevent others from doing. If
you have not, just watch the great
host who are yelping at the heels
of Booker T. Washington.
If higher education will better
solve the problem, do something
that will convince the people and
you will have a host to follow.
So long as there is a demand for
skilled mechanics, just 50 long
can Tuskegee send out to all parts
Of the country such good teachers
and skilled mechanics. Mr. Wash
ington will be admired BY the
American people regardless OF
race.
There is ! host who can teach
and 4 host who can preach, but
those who can think and produce
a thought that will benefit all are
but few in any race.
It means much to be a success
full teacher, and Mr.. Du Bois
should be proud to know the
American Missionary Society
founded such school as the At
lanta University, and it is fact
that as teacher Mr.. Dubois has
but few equals.
There are a host of able men
and women all over this country
who are helping humanity. Let
US be contented with our calling.
A race that is divided against
itself cannot stand. The world
is better BY Mr.. Washington hav-
ing lived in it. Let there be no
strife among our people.

Cure by Cuticura Remedies.

tMy son, who is now twenty-tw two
years of age, when four months old
began to have eczema on his face,
spreading quite rapidly until he was
nearly covered. The eczema was some
thing terrible, and the doctors said it
was the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. used many
kinds of patent medicines, to no avail.
A friend leased me to try Cuticura.
At last decided to try Cuticura when

time and suffering untold misery I
began to use all three of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
months; in six months he was well.

Exact Copy of Wrapper.
Made for Fat Men,

One of the narrow arches in the
gallery of the chapel at Columbia uni

though the defect is not noticeable to
the casual observer, says the New
York Globe. The reason for the wild
ening of the arch after it's original con-
struction had rise in a somewhat
humorous occurrence. One of the
early visitors was remarkably fat
man, who found himself wedged into
the arch when he tried to squeeze
through and was extricated with diff
Guilty. The builders, recognizing the
possibility of other fat people being
numbered among the future visitors,
decided to widen the arch, sacrificing
symmetry and harmony to practical
need, as the pier was so constructed
as to bear no loss of width on one Of
it's sides.
