CHILDREN AFFECTED
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs-
ing their babes.
The experience of a Kansas City
mother is case in point

child, and thought could not do with
out it. But l found at last it was do
Ing me harm. For years l had been
troubled with dizziness, spots before
my eyes and pain in my heart, to
which was added, two years later,
chronic sour stomach.
1.-THE baby was born months ago,
and almost from the beginning, it, too,
suffered from sour stomach. She was
taking it from me!
an my distress l consulted friend
, of more experience and she told me
to quit coffee, that coffee did not
make good milk. have since ascer-
tanned that it really dries up the milk.
80 quit coffee and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
with the happiest results. 1t proved
to be the very thing l needed. 1t not
only agreed perfectly with baby and
myself, but 1t increased the flow OF
my milk.
my husband then quit coffee and
used Postum and quickly got well OF
the dyspepsia with which he had been
troubled. no longer suffer from the
dizziness, blind spells, pain in my
heart or sour stomach.
''Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months old
baby. It has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank" Name given

PARTY PLEDGES SLAUGHTERED
INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM
AND RECALL ARE DEAD.

Splendid.

referendum and the recall are dead in

checked them up to the upper body
again. The senate repeated its for
mer performance. The initiative and
referendum amendment was killed by
vote of Is to "a. 1t took two
thirds majority to adopt it, hence II
failed by three votes.
The recall did not even see day
light in the senate, as it was killed by
a vote of Is to 81. 1t also required a
two-thirds majority. If, as has been
said by people in close touch with
Governor Stubs, it depended upon the
action of the legislature upon these
two measures whether there shall be
a special session called, it would ap-
pear that a special session is certain.
Both measures were pledged in the
platforms of the Republican and DEM
ocratic parties. The vote on the ini-
tiative and referendum follows:
For the resolution: Anderson, Avery,
Bender, Brady, Brown, Camborn,
Cooke, Denton, Fowler, Ganse, Glenn,

DISCUSSES REAL ISSUES.

AVN xIos
Water Valley Itemizer, June /: We
had the pleasure Of hearing Hon. C.
H. Alexander, candidate for the U.s. s.
Senate, discuss the political issues of
the day in our city last Thursday night.
This was the first time we ever heard
Mr.. Alexander, and will say right here
that we expected much, for his reputa-
ton had preceded him, but he more
than met u expectation. His speech
was fair, clean and eloquent, and de-
livered in q most mastery and captiva-
ting manner. =
There were something like about 300
people present to hear him, and q more
orderly crowd never assembled in Wa
ter Valley. He was listened to from
the beginning to the end of his speech
with the greatest interest. The people
went to the park, where he was SEIZED.
uled to speak, to hear something, and
they were not disappointed.
c. H. Alexander is both a good and 9
great man, and is a splendid piece Of
senatorial timber. He would represent
the people we'll in that august body OF
law makers.
His speech was not full of that virus
out of which v~ituperation is made, but
was q real discussion of real issues.

The "6randfather. Clause Invalid.

The action of Federal Judge John H.
Cotteral in declaring the grandfather
clause amendment to the Oklahoma
constitution invalid, is' dse,saon that
may afect the 'uffrage laws Of . NUM-
Der Of the Southern states. Judge
Cotteral holds that to make the subjee-
ton Of certain individuals to the educa-
tional test dependent on their condition
or the condition Of their ancestors. be-
fore 1855 would make it dependent on
their q c and color, and hence it would
be in violation Of the fifteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution. The
grandfather clause" exempts from
the educational test those whose ances-
tors were entitled to vote in 1865, and
thus excludes the ignorant negro. The
supreme court has thus far refused to
pass on the matter, several efforts to
put the issue squarely before the high
est court having failed. An appeal
from the decision of . federal district
judge will make it necessary for the
supreme court to pass on the case.-
