counts Life is made miserable by
sick headaches, nervousness, distress
after eating. Sleeplessness. coated
tongue. spots before the eyes, general
debility and the many other
symptoms of indigestion.
Something more is needed than the
ordinary digestive tablets which have
been used so recklessly in the past.
The weakened muscles of the stomach
need strengthening. and the whole
digestive system must be toned up and
stimulated before the stomach trouble
can be cured
Nothing else will SO quickly do this
as Mi-o-na stomach tablets. The
secret of its success lies in the fact
that Mi-o-na is prepared especially to
strengthen the digestive organs. Its
use for a few days puts the whole
digestive system in such shape that it
can care for all the food that is eaten
without pain or distress.

as the Negro race can control it, de-
mand of them a serious outlook upon
life. Sometimes by some people, it is
seriously urged that life is but a days
journey and pleasure" should be its
purpose.
To this pernicious doctrine, inter
preted to mean an unbridled participa-
ton in intemperance and riotous liv-
ing, is due the sad spectacle of the
young people of the race falling far
behind their elders in life's struggle.
Southern white people have some basis
of fact in their comparison between
young Negroes and old, whereby they
disparage the former 1t would seem
that education would make clear the
duty of the individual instead OF serv-
ing only to blunt the ruggedness of
character and add on the refinement
of vice. Parents are TO blame in a
measure, but not in the degree that
the general public is.
We must raise the standard. The
young man or young woman to whom
pleasure is god, is failure. This is
a work-a-day world. Life is serious.
We all have responsibilities and must
meet them. Omitting all reference to
the depraved and vicious, for they are
beneath notice, we call upon the race
to demand of our young people, that
they look up. 1t is nearly as criminal
to be amless, as to be vicious. Both
are sliding down to oblivion only at
different rates of speed. Color is a
handicap, but energy and brains know
no race or color and have no imita-
tions. Clothes, and manners are poor
substitutes for real manhood and wom-
anhood.

The Appropriate Flower.

four or five millions.

in such marriages when he saw an
English duke or an Italian prince mar
rying an American girl who was poor.
Then he smiled grimly and ended:
IF ! were millionaire and were

lions to some young count or earl. I'd

WE THANK MR.. VlCkERY.

City Auditor Vickery has appointed
]. w. Jackson to the position of license
inspector, at a salary of $1,000 per
year Tits appointment is the best
one held under the city and is OF the
class givsn to men who have served
the party signally. That the appoint
ment has gone to colored man
speaks in the highest terms OF the re-
gard in which he is held by party
leaders. 1t is a distinct compliment to
the colored people that they have been
given such representation. Mr.. Jack
son has been for some years moving
spirit in the Lincoln Republican club,
and a leader in Republican politics
among colored people.
To him belongs the credit for the
plan that resulted in the appointment
of the three clerkships and one under
sheriff we hold in the county. To him
individually belongs the credit for the
open door of opportunity that exists
for us in the T. S. mint. To him is
due the ever widening representation
we have under the state administra-
ton. He has been able to call to his
aid in this work of advancing the
cause of Negroes in politics, number
of men and women who are represent
ative of the taxpaying, right thinking
and pushing element of our race, not
only in Denver but throughout the
state. For four years his labors have
been productive of results for others,
and this appointment comes to him, as
one prominent office holder put it, "a
Just reward for man who has always
asked consideration for others, and in
whom no selfshness appeared
Words cannot express the gratitude
that we feel is due Mr.. Vickery for
the appointment He has a record of
fairness to us and while we expected
that he would grant us representation,
the manner in which he has given it,
not hesitatingly or under pressure, but
freely and cheerfully, makes him
doubly dear to us. May he ever pros
per and may the day never come when
any Negro for any cause will forsake
him.
