sarily mean that we must be swiilers
of medicine; but that we must pay
more attention to care Of the body
and the prevention of disease than
taking chances and hoping that some
one will he lucky enough to help US
escape death and disaster.
It is cheaper to have good man
look one over and give advice than
it is to 90 blindly along until some
malady has a firm hold. 1t is better
to take a vacation than it is to be oil
from work at some inconvenient time.
A we'll man ought to be an asset to
the community; sick man is hadn't
cap to his family and the people at
large. There was time when per-
son got lot of sympathy if he was
always complaining, but now people
think that either lot of ailing is due
to one of two things, poor care OF self
or self pity.
It is an unfortunate, but neverthe-
less true, condition that the folks who
can least afford sickness have the most
of it. Excepting in those instances
where the disease comes from some
unknown cause, or is incurable, it IS
their own. fault. As we suggested a
few weeks ago, improper eating is the
cause Of much trouble; an underfed
person is more liable to any trouble
than a well nourished one. 1t is not
sufficient to merely eat; one must rea-
son about food. u.s. .
Next to proper eating proper rest
is essential. This does not mean that
one is to be sleepy head, but regu-
lar hours end repose will help mucn.
A man cannot spend half the night
carousing around and be keen wltted
the next day. There are exceptions
to all rules, apparently, but follow the
exception and you will find that in the
end he does not come. up to the aver
age or has been exceptionally en-
lowed with a strong physique. 1t
never pays to attempt to follow these
exceptions to the laws OF nature.
Keep as nearly to the normal as pos
sible and the results will be more
nearly certain.
Next, We may put it up in any way
we see fit, but the curse Of the coun-
try is liquor. There are many pols-
ons, including tobacco, to which the
| system will accommodate itself, but
the drink Of liquor finally gets the
man. With me it is not question OF
principle; It is hard, solid, undisput-
able fact. 1t is not sentiment; it is
cold logic and matter of efficiency,
| which put in another way is dollars
| and cents. As we have said before
| other things being equal, a sober Ne
gro has the call over white drinker:
This is not intended as an editorial
about sleep, nor food, nor liquor, but
to. call attention to the fact that we
| must be fit to carry on the physical,
| commercial and moral warfare Of a
big race problem. It is up to you to
be fit, it is your duty to help the other
fellow be fit, for by his failures you
are unfortunately and unfairly
judged. ~, IT,.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, a child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially we'll adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, 531 Charles St.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
Some time ago we began using DR..
Niles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased" ts s..{s
The form and flavor Of any medi-
cine us very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially: important
when. children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Dr.. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-l;ke taste at once appeal to

are taken without objection. D.
The rich chocolate favor and
