RIGHT FOOD
How the Baby Was Saved.

when our first baby came II was
soon apparent that his mother could
not nurse him and II became neces-
sary to feed him artificial food. We
tried everything recommended by our
family doctor, then consulted several
other physicians in succession.
1--WE experimental with nearly
every artificial food but could barely
keep the baby alive. and at the age of
five months he weighed no more than
at birth. When eight months old he
had gained very little, and his stom-
ach and bowels were in such a eondi-
ton that we despaired of raising him.
"a Chance acquaintance recon-
mended Grape-Nuts, and we com
meneed feeding him on it, soaking 1t
until soft in warm water, as milk
would not stay on his stomach.
From the very first we saw that
we had found the right food at last
and he began to improve Immediately
We fed him on Grape-Nuts In THU
way and absolutely nothing else for
several months, and he grew so fast
and became so fat and strong that
our friends were surprised and could
scarcely believe that 1t was the same
child.
"He did not even begin to crawl or
cut his teeth until after We put him
on Grape-N Nuts. Until that time he
was weak and helpless and cried
nearly all the time. Now he is a
strong, bright, rosy-cheeked child OF
of 3 " years"

We Are Responsible for Crime.


''To the trained observer of life it
is obvious that criminals are not on
the whole to blame for their vicious
career.
"For twenty-five years, as police
reporter in New York, I saw all the
wickedness of depraved human ma
ture," says Jacob Riis in the May
Delineator. 81 saw a seemingly un-
ending succession of young rascals-
90 the police had stamped them and
the record on the station house blotter
bore them outgoing from the slums
through the wicket-gate of the Tombs
to the prison and to the gallows, and
it was sight to discourage anyone
whose horizon was limited by our
earth-life. The chill of it abides with
me yet. But behind it all I made out
also what it was that had depraved
their poor human nature, and that
the responsibility lay with us who let
it be, whose neglect of the neighbor
that had fallen among thieves was to
blame for it all. The world is NO
worse than we make it. We can also
make it good.'

The Lien Law.
e Editor of The Dispatch:

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
With your permission I will pen
few thoughts engendered by the acts
or non-acts of our general assembly.
We hear great deal about class leg
islatien in the northern part of our
common country and would remind
our people that we have it here in
perfection. 1t is true that we have
no vastly rich people. but it is also
true that the moneyed men have the
laws made to suit themselves. Take
this Lien law and examine it closely.
It's, commercially, what the right to
vote is, politically, to the negro. If
a negro has no right to kill my vote
he has no right to stand on an equal
footing with the poor white men of
the country on a commercial basis.
If we allow him by law to sustain a
credit without honor where is the
poor mans chance to compete with
him? If this law was repealed then
credit would be based Oh honor and
credit would be obtained at less cost
to the borrower. This thing of put
ting all the benefits of the law in the
creditors hand is what makes the
Lien law so satisfactory to the mer-
chants and large land holders, but
where does any benefit come to the
white tenant? He is classed with the
negro by the merchants and is the
second class at that, as they prefer
the negro as long as the Lien law is
on the statute books.
White supremacy cannot be peace
ably sustained if the laws are not so
amended as to make a mans word
have weight in his business. The
white people owned all the lands at
the close of the war, but present hg-
ures show that they do not own it all 4
now. If the, negroes by indirect IA
;voritis1n have gotten so far, why
can't they go on? And if they do
where will the white man be? You
may say it will take long time, but
time goes on and we judge the future
by the past. The white people should
stop pledging their souls for gain and
think of this beginning of the final
end if laws are not made to uphold
the honorable man and place poor
white man, if honorable, above the
negro in every respect.
White supremacy has been our
watchword in the past when we made
history. Let US bring back the old
cry and keep America for Americans
of the Anglo Saxon type.
Yours for white supremacy,
N. E. R. B.

Brace Up!

When you're feeling rather blue
And the Seedlings hard with you;
When your schemes go up the spout
And you're feeling down and out;
When you've shot and scored miss
Brace up and remember this:
Those who win are those who try,
So brace up and don't say die.
Swell your chest and try again;
Grit your teeth and smile at pain.
Tackle trouble with laugh
And you'll cut the dose in half.
Look the world square in the eye;
Buck the line and don't say die.
Lying down is all the shame
Sit straight up and play the game.
Don't dodge trouble-if you do
1t will doubly trouble you.
Meet each task with grit and vim,
Do the square thing, sink or swim.
If you see hard luck draw nigh
Laugh again and don't say die.
Keep your face turned to the light,
Do your best and you're all right.
