I Am Afraid of Nothing, l" He Declares at Banquet of the New York
 Southern Society
ANNOUNCES THAT HE WILL CONTINUE THE
 NEW JERSEY FIGHT
The President Elects Life Has Again Been Threatened by Let ter Writer--Unsigned Mis-
 siye Mailed in New
 York on Dec. 12

New York. December 17.-President- elect Wilson held mp warning finger tonight to any man who might deliber- ately start panic in the United States
 to show that intended legislative pol icies were wrong In a speech at the banquet of the Southern Society of New York he declared he had heard sinister premonitons of what would follow If the democratic party put into effect changes in economic policies The president-elect first distin- guished in his speech between nat ura1" and unnatural" panics. He said in many cases panlcs had come natnr- ally because of a mental disturbance of people with reference to loans and money generally.
 l "The machinery Is In existence" he said. but I don't think the thing cnn ] be deliberately done. Frankly. don't think there Is any man living who dares use tho machinery for that pur- pose. If he does, | promise him. not for myself but for by fellow country men. a glbbet AS high as IIaman's."
 The governor added that he meant no literal gibbet," for that Is not painful" but he said Il would be n glib bet Of public disgrace which would live "as long as the members of that mans family survive
 America with her eyes open isn't going to let q panic happen eon-' tinued the governor but | speak as lf | [ expected-as if l feared II. do not. 1 am afraid of nothins.'
 Touches on Many Subjects The President elects speech covered variety of subjects. He treated first of sectlonalism, declaring that 1t should
 not exist.
 eThere Is vast deal to do" he said.
 and 1t can best be done by forgetting that we arc parasans of anything eN-
 cept the honor and prosperity of In nation itself
 Mir Wilson then referred briefly to
 provincialsm and said that some peo- pie had an idea that all the thinking of the country was done In New York 1 city. He said the southern society represented an importation of thougnr from the south into the great metrop- oils
 T am happy to feel that there no longer Is serious consciousness of 1 sectional differences in the United States There can be no sectioualtsm about the thinking Of America from ! this time on, because no hard-headed man can prove that there are snch | things as sectional interests. 1 The governor here told his hearers or his strenuous day.
 We thought we strengthened things out in New Jersey" he said, but they won stay straight "rhere are some people in New Jersey who are happy that they can count the days when they can get rid of me. But they are not going to get rid of me A man can live in Washington and know what goes on in New Jersey and man car say from Washington what he thinNs about New Jersey and he can say Il m th. only most effeetual way-by mention- ing names.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found In the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance Of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev-
sly woman Is regularity Of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches.
pimples and general air Of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or indigestion. or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination Of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy Is far preferable to
harsh salts and ~cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action.

power to perform their natural func-

to irremediable ruin. No work would
be done, nothing would be cultivated;
whites and blacks alike must starve,
for the freed slaves, accustomed to
overseers, would undoubtedly abstain
wholly from labor.
The president waited for Seward to
make some effective rejoiner. But the
experienced statesman could find no
cogent reply. At length, Lincoln
framed the answer, in a story culmin-
ating in a phrase that gave common
currency to a colloQuialism, coined
among the log cabins of negroes and
poor whites.
Gentlemen" addressing the COM
missioners, your statement Of the
conditions reminds me of a man out
in Illinois, by the name of Case, who
undertook to raise a very large herd
Of hogs. But, as they grew, it be-
came too big a job to feed them. Fin
ally he planted an immense field in
potatoes; and, as soon as the potatoes
were fairly grown, turned the whole
herd into the field. The hogs did
their own digging, and he leaned over
the fence, proud Of his idea. A neigh
Dor came along.
"'Well, we'll, Mr.. Case he remark

fine fruit land, thirty Of which are
already in bearing orchard. II is
well known as an especially valuable
tract.

as manager of the Dallas Mercantile
Company's store.
