THE GAMBLING ISSUE

While we are not posing as a
reformer we take it that the SEN
timent of this community is that
the laws shall stand for naught
but we hold that when the unli-
hcation of law becomes of such
apparent determient to the race
as the non-enforcement of the
gambling laws in this city it is
time for us to protest.
And more especially so when
the Negro is Jim Crowed, bar
red in almost everything except
at a stud poker game; there as
long and as fast as he can pro-
duce; he is the equal of the
white man.
The result of this is that the
Negro himself is always broke,
owes his grocer is in bad with his
friends and absolutely has got to
place where he is repudiating his
honest obligations.
We know of families that have
been dismembered on account of
this condition and it is said that a
combine has control of the gamb-
ling proposition and that there is
a jack pot made up from time to
time for the fellows that fix things
so that the law will not come in
and poor Uncle Zip pays the toll.
How long will this last.

ADVICE ABOUT THE BABY.

From the Boston Herald
When the baby has TO take a dose OF
castor or cod liver of a method far bet
ter than holding its nose IS 70 place a
few drops Of lemon vinegar on the spoon
before pouring IN the oil. The objection
able flavor Of the OIL is destroyed in this
way and its sticking to the spoon pre-
vented. Another good suggestion Is TO
place a small piece Of ice on the baby's
tongue before giving him the oil, as the
cold blunts HIS sense Of taste for the
moment
To remove splinter from a childs
hand fill a large-mouthed bottle full OF
hot water and hold the injured finger in
the steam arising from the water The
steam draws the flesh, and aided by gen
tie pressure, the splinter will come out
in a short while
To break the baby OF the habit OF put
ting buttons and other miscellaneous artf-
cles In its mouth, coat several OF the arti-
cles he seems 10 be the most fond Of with
quinine, and he will soon learn 70 avoid
them because Of their nasty taste.

have often wondered II mothers with

misery brought upon other mothers
through the wrongdoing Of those they
love. Such things are happening every

it is hard 10 understand why a man
