Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup is
used nearly everywhere, because it not
only heals irritation of the throat and
stops the cough. but it drives the
cold out of the system through its lax
atiye principle by assuring free and
gentle action of the bowels, and that
is the only way to cure cold. You
can + cure it as long as you are con-
stipated Insist upon Kennedy's Lax

THE WHooPING COUGH

There's a red-faced little fellow sitting
bolt upright in bed,
and his mothers sitting by him, hold
ing tenderly his head.
All his struggles are quite futile and
our eyes fill up with tears
AS we watch the tiny sufferer: for
We cannot hide our fears.
There are some who see our weakness
and at us we know they scoff:
But it's mighty hard, tell you, when
your boys got wbOOping cough.
II is mighty hard to hear him in the
middle of the night
Give whOOp that fairly chills you
and that wakes you in a fright;
II is hard to see him rasping for his
breath and know that you
Must idly stand and watch him, for
there's nothing you can do.
Yes. it sets your heart to aching when
the spell has passed to see
The little fellow tumble back as help
less as can be.
Every one Of us has had tits a com
mon thing | know,
But somehow when your baby is the
victim it's a blow
That hits right at your heartstrings,
and you straightway forget
All the millions that have suffered and
are living happy yet.
Us. maybe it is common. and TO get
it babes are prone,
But its laden down with sorrow when
il claims one of your own.
/ can stand TO see a grOwn-Up n the
grip of some disease;
have suffered mortal agony myself
and begged for ease.
| I can gaze upon a sick man and can
utter words of cheer,
For a grown-up isn't helpless till he's
laid upon his bier;
But the saddest sight to witness, LEI
who will rise up TO scoff,
Is q little red-faced fellow in the
throes of whooping cough.

WHAT CLEMENT A. EVANS SAYS

"The people OF the south have made
history which teaches moral and civic
virtues by example, and they are
greatly concerned in the narration of
their deeds and the fair statements of
their motives In beginning to dis
charge this duty as to their own re-
cent history, the southern people were
startled by the discovery that the
youth of the country were threatened
with a perpetuatiOn of sectional
strife through the evil influences of
sectional literature. History books
were complacently presented for
adoption by school boards, although
infested with sectional unfairness.
Statements were printed in such books
which were but half truths, while
truths were so adulterated with errors
as to be no longer true and pure,
while paragraphs were adrOitly con-
structed so as TO carry concealed the
deadly dagger of misrepresentation.
1t was evident that duty demanded re-
sistance to this corruption of a litera-
ture pretending TO be historical truth,
and it is gratifying to know that the
effort to strike down the pernicious
evil has been rewarded by considera-
BILE success, but the strict exclusion
of all unfair publications must be Wig
Orously enforced, and the books them
selves must be consigned to the flames
of patriotic Indignation.
The southern states have their
own problems which they desire to
solve for the common good. The old
disturbing presence in our country of
a people of African descent became
more serious than ever because the
problem was loaded from 1865 with
new and insuppOrtable conditions.
These negroes in the southern states
were merely turned loose with moth
ing but the power to vote and hold
Office without qualifications. They
were not offered homes anywhere eX-
cept in the south, and they fell as a
load on the southern people But the
south assumed the burden: and the
assertion is here made that no body
OF people in any age of the world has
treated this negro race with real kind
ness except the people of the south
ern states. All nations have enslaved
them, and not one has trained them
into that physical, intelligent, moral
manhood which is the indisputable
qualification of a valuable population
The southern states have more than
100000 of this race. TO care for, and
the southern people are qualified to
execute the trust justly, beneyOlently
and for the general welfare. 1t is,
therefore, insisted that the hindering
intermeddling with the purposes to
righteOusly solve this problem shall
cease; for whatever the motive may
be, such interference is misdirected
hurtful and often open to suspicion as
being accompanied with insincerity
selhshnes or ignorance of southern
conditions"
