There With the Nerve"

The conversation led to the beauty
of having abundant nerve the other
evening, when Senator Clapp of Min
nesota told of a man who went into
a fashionable restaurant, accompanied
by couple Of children, and after
ordering lemon soda, asked the
waiter to bring him three plates.
This, according to Senator Clapp, the
waiter did, but when he saw the man
take some sandwiches from his
pocket, put them on the plates, and
pass them around to the kids, he re-
ported the matter to the boss. What
are you doing?" Indignantly cried the
manager, rushing over to the sand,
witch party Don't you know that
this isn't free picnic ground, where
you bring your own food?" "ls that

man, passing along another sandwich

Aelninn the Little Fellow.

The United Shoe Machinery Com.
pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation of shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start in
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number of shoes he makes-an
average of less than 2 2-3 cents pair
and let US keep them up to date.
That is a fair arrangement. Some OF
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fell
lows stand with us because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
If it were not for our methods of doing
business there would be no small fac
tories anywhere and no prosperous
factories in small towns.

Over Night Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and
Happy BY Morning

1t is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most gen.
eral, and SO we have whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi-
gestion for they are closely allied But
common as constipation Is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they have
it. They will complain of headache,
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
scious of the cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once day. If you
pass a day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily or have more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any inconvenience.
Legions of people use 1t regularly in
such emergencies, some of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives.
Mr.. A. B. Banner, 1876 Riley St., Har-
risburg, Pa, says: "Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant
relief from stomach and bowel trou.

FLOOD WATERS ENCROUCR
ON LOUISIANA TOWNS
UNITED STATES ARMY RELIEF
CORPS TO FEED 10000 HOME.
LESS PEOPLE.
Ferriday Is Under Water, But White
People Refuse to Leave Town.
Live Stock Moved to
High Ground.

Vidalia, Lathe flood waters from
the Gibson's Landing crevasse in the
Louisiana levees twenty-five miles
north of Vidalia is spreading with de-
structive force over Concordia parish,
claiming town after town in it's path
southwark to the Red river. Hun
dreds of homeless persons and thou
sands of head of cattle are being
moved from the flooded district. Thus
far, however, the known loss of life
in this section is confined to two ne.
groes.
Already more than 5000 refugees
have been taken from the territory
which is being rapidly inundated by
the Sunday morning crevasse and
within another week it is estimated
that the United States army relief
corps will be sheltering and feeding
at least 10000 more. There are $500
refugees in the relief camp at Natchez
and hundreds of others are arriving
on every steamer sent out by the re-
lief corps.
Ferriday, La, town of 1000 people
IN Concordia parish, with its railroad
shops, is now covered. The Bank of
Ferriday is flooded and the water is
on the first floor of many houses. De-
spite this and the rise in the stage,
white people will not forsake the
place and those who have no second
Eoors in their homes will occupy box
cars on the New Orleans and North
western tracks. This line continues
to operate between Vidalia and Ferri,
lay. Three hundred cars of live stock
rave been brought to Vidalia by this
'oad in two days. From Vidalia they
IRE ferried to Natchez.
At Clayton the water is ten feet
ieep and rising. The Tensas and
Black rivers have been flooded by the
,revasse water and are overflowing
INTO the eastern part of Catahoula par
jsh, but no large towns are endanger
ed in that section.
The people of Vidalia are taking g
philosophical view of the situation
and are not alarmed AS yet the water
mas not shown up near Vldalia, but
it is nearly half around the parish
where it met backwater from the
Black river and a heavy rise is ex
pected.
! The gap at Lake st. John is l,9o(
feet wide and about twenty feet deep
but the flow is not turbulent.
The steamer Concordia brought il
ITO refugees and lot of live stool
from Clayton.
Lieutenant Holiday has sent 10000
rations on the steamer Betsy Ann u
points south to the mouth OF the Rel

To Clean Rubber,

A rubber coat can be nicely cleaned
by the use of automobile soap, jel-
lylike substance of dark color, which
can be procured at any automobile
supply store or at a garage.
The soap can be used for other
garments also, as it does not injure
the finest finished material, but the
effect seems better on rubberized
goods. The first step in cleaning is
to make a strong lather Clean the
coat thoroughly and then apply the
soap over a small portion of the gar
ment. Carefully wash off the soap
by sponging with clear water and pro-
coed to next space to be cleaned. Dry
out of doors.

WHITE SLAVERY
By J. D. Gillian. D. D.

From time immemoria there has
been slavery OF some sort AT the first
it appears to have been an indiScrim-
mate kind; result OF wars and feudal
or other depredations. In these cases
the people ensavcd theif enemies and
many Of them their own racial blood,
as do the Chinese, Koreans, certain
peoples of Africa, India. etc Later the
white nations employed themselves in
securing the slavery OF the blacks, and
the enslavement OF the negro became
in tim. a mark of aristecraey, Applied
to modern practice, the term aristo-
crat is believed to mean that class Of
persons who are able TO make others
do the work while they themselves do
the overseeing, or worse yet, hire over
seers.
For ages too many Of the higher civ
ilizations authorized permitted and
protected the human market and those
who dealt in human life. There are
