Coloretl Peoples Decision.
A great convention OF young colored
people met down south, and what do
you think they discussed? III tell
YOU what they did not discuss They
didn't discuss now badly they are
treated here I'm America, nor the in
consistency OF Christians. They might
have discussed that. but they didn't.
Instead, they talked about the inner
life of the black man and the best
way to help him. They came to the
conclusion that what the people most
reeded was not higher education, not
Industrial training. they get that in
the Frcedmen's Aid schools, but they
need ethical and moral training.
what else are we doing? We are
helping the black ministry of the
south. We're giving aid to them and
over 5000 are in their own pulplts to-
day, preaching the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Three thousand ministers are
being touched. inspired and helped

entirely wiped out. And one of the
greatest Arguments for the work of
the Freedmen's Aid, is that during
all these years. not one single man
who has ever attended or graduated
from our schools. has ever Ieen found
guilty of this unnamable crime
against womanhood. The way to

FOLKS PAST FIFTY
MUST USE CASCARETS
what Glasses are to Weak Eyes, Cas-'
carets are 20 Weak Bowels--a To-
Cent Box VIII Truly Amaze YOU.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help. else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
tion is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as 1t is for old people to
walk slowly. For age Is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
SO all old people need Cascarets.
one might as well refuse TO aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be Kept active. This Is
important at all ages but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics
Y>uth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need Is gentle and ma
tural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The only
such tonic is Cascarets and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store They work while YOU sleep.
