Good Bowels Are

Bowel Movement.

AS child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the func-
tons of the bowels are of the utmost
Importance to health, great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is of great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain foods. A food viii constipate one
and not another, and so we have
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many
1t is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the individ-
ual circumstances, is DR.. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and
tonic combined, so mild that it Is
given to little babies, and yet equally
effective in the most robust constitu-
ton. AT the first sign of tendency
to constipation give u small dose OF

through the mists, we saw our two

Russian soldiers conversing amicably
together as they approached us. A
short interrogation convinced Nikolai
that the truce was genuine one.
We hurried down and, by the aid of
a file which the soldiers gave us, had
soon freed the prisoners rom their
bonds. Then, seated together over
meal, explanations were offered and
received.
1t appeared that the lighthouse was
used as secret penal station to which
prisoners were sent who had been
sentenced to the mines of Archangel.
The secrH had been well kept, and
this explained why none of those sent
to the frozen north had ever been
heard from. They were not there;
the cruisers put them invariably up
on this desolate rock, where they re-
manned in chains until death claimed
them. The soldiers naturally thought
that we had discovered the location
of their captives; this explained their
desperate efforts to regain the light

''Poor girl" said the general man

just applied for a position as stenog-
rapher walked out of his Office.
Whats her trouble?" asked the
secretary.
Its too bad that a girl who is so

listen to her parents. You heard her

YES, but didn't hear her mention

Place for PRAYER.

Probably few youngsters make such
a matter-of-fact business OF prayer as
a certain little Chicago laddie. He was
going to bed one night in an upper
room, which was heated in the old
fashioned way by stovepipe running
through the floor A caller sat with
the family in the room below, and this
is what floated down to the caller in
the child's clear treble:
"Oh, Billy, come over here by the
stovepipe! It's bully warm place to
pray"

AFRo-AMERIcAN RIGHT WORD.

We congratulate our up-to-date con-
temporary the Chicago Defender on
it's new make up" It is chock full
of news and presents fine APPEARANCE
We are especially pleased that the
Defender has adopted the word Afro
American as a racial designation. It
is shame that it is necessary in this
alleged land of the free to differentiate
between Americans, but it is true.
Who has not been disguised by the
use of the word Negro with small
m" as is almost invariably the case
in the daily newspapers. Although
the words Jew, Mexican, Filipino,
Chinaman, Japanese are always capt.
talized, Americans of more or less
African blood have been described as
negroes" and "negresses," as if they
were wild animals. ~
= In view of the fact that not more
than one-third of the Americans of
African descent are of pure Negro
blood it follows that the word Negro
is not correct, while Afro-American
would include people of various per-
centages of admixture and if generally
adopted the daily papers would be
compelled to capitalize it. The word
Afro-American has been used by THE
for thirty years. !:

the matter. The opposition to Judge
Terrell was made entirely on the
ground of race, for the members of
the committee admitted that seldom
had an appointee received better
recommendations than had Judge
Terrell. The subcommittee to which
the Terrell nomination had been re-
ferred, consisted of Senators Shields

Root of New York. Senators Shields

confirmation and Senator Root favored
it. The matter was finally decided in
the full committee. Although the
committee has reported the nominal
ton of Judge Terrell favorably, the
fight against his confirmation has just
begun. Senator Vardaman of Mis-
sissippi, who has announced that he
will oppose with all his strength the
confirmation of any Afro-American to

to the confirmation and he will have
strong support from other Southern

UNJUST JUDGE DENOUNCED,

Judge Willis of the criminal depart
ment Of the Superior Court of Los An
geles, California, sentenced a young
colored man to thirty years in the pen
itentiary for highway robbery, al
though his only loot was a white
girls kiss.
When the fact became generally
known that so unjust sentence had
been imposed white women sent in
protests, threats of recall and de-
nunciations. Deputations of white wo-
men visited the Judge to demand that
action be taken to save the young man
from such severe punishment. Tele-
phone messages informed him that
petitions were being prepared for his
recall. Other women called in person
to say that steps would be taken to
procure a pardon from the governor
The action of the women shows the
difference between California and the
South. If the highway robbery had
occurred in Vardaman's state there
would have been lynching.

In whatever else 1913 was unlucky
it was not in the matter of lynchings,
for there were only A recorded, the
lowest number of recent years, ESQ
being the highest. OF the number
lynched only one was a white man.
Nineteen Of the victims were accused
of numbering white men and four of
killing white females. Attempted
criminal assault was responsible for
nine of the lynchings. Two were
lynched for frightening white women,
one for insulting white woman, an
other for being found concealed under
the bed in a woman's room. Two were
lynched for shooting or assaulting
white men, one for robbery and shoot
ing, one for assisting an Afro-Amer-
lean murderer to escape, another for
horse stealing. In one case the crime
charged against the victim was not
stated. The record is horrible enough,
but it gives some hope that this ia
vorite pastime of the southern whites
is on the wane. .s..

Ing us that we are child race only

that a highly developed race of men

The oldest skeleton found in Amer

100000 to 100000 years old, so brother

THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end Of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by a resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory. u
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is a British colony and the govern.
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev.
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among other things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison of con.
ditions in the United States and the
West Indies" he said, has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. I
do not expect them to adopt the meth.
DDS of missionaries, nor do I sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
it cannot be ignored that it happened
that the faiths of the men who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de-
velopment of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human
ltarian and, above all, uncompromis-
ingly Christian
Were race, differentiation held to it
must increase civil discord. When the
balance of numbers is as it is in the
South in America it must tend to
foster obscure preparations for civil
war and rebellion. If statesmen and
citizens face in the contrary direction
do not say that they will attain i'm
mediately civil peace, but I am conf
dent that they will be travelling the
only road toward it. rs3
I do not suggest that race does not
greatly affect facilities for combina-
ton between humans in healthy
national life, but race difference is
only one of many schismatic agencies.
The solution of the difficulty involves
discipline for the white man a.

MALE STENOGRAPHERS AND
1YPEWRlTERS IN DEMAND.

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces that while it
has no difficulty in securing sufficient
female stenographers and typewriters
to meet the needs of the departments
at Washington, the supply of male
eligibles has not been equal to the de-
mand. Young men who are at least
IL years of age and who are willing
to accept the usual entrance salaries,
which are $40 and $500 year, have
excellent opportunities for appoint
ment. While the entrance salaries
are low, advancement is reasonably
rapid to those meriting it. The ex-
aminations, which any competent
stenographer should be able to pass,
are held each month in the year, ex-
cept December, at the principal cities
Of the United States.

examination may be secured by ad-

SPREAD OF .MoHAMMEDANlsM

l>STnEND VI s"O7AMME DANISM.
Every true Christian should be glad
to learn Of the remarkable growth of
Mohammedanism. Among the colored
peoples of the world it is outstripping
Christianity. ...
This may seem a queer statement
but it is true. Christianity is so de-
cadent in America today that there
are few real Christians except Afro
Americans.
The souls of American Caucasians
have been so warped by the Infamous
color prejudice rampant in this coun-
try that in the majority of cases they
are not true followers of.the Nazarene
Before the awful color line American
Christianity stands paralyzed and
dumb.
There are today 100000 more Mos
lens than Christians in the British
empire. One-seventh of the whole
human race is Mohamme dan >and the
proportion is not at a standstill; it is
increasing yearly. In Asia and Africa
more natives are becoming Moham-
medans every year than are turning to
Christianity. Today nearly all of the
sacred places named in the Bible are
under Mohammedan rule.
There is a reason why the colored
races cling to the religion of Moham-
med. 1t is religion in which there
is no color line. The brotherhood of
man is not mere figure of speech as
it is in Christianity, but a living real
ity. The orientals are too shrewd to
be caught in any large numbers by a
jimcrow religion, for that is what it
means when Caucasian Christianity
gets them into it's clutches.
The conquest of Colored America for
Mohammedanism has not yet begun,
but it is coming some day, THE AP-
PEAL believes and predicts and the
brotherhood religion will spread like
Wildfire.

ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST.

ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST.
A number of colored newspapermen
met recently in Nashville, Tenn, and
among other things decided not to
protest against segregation lowing to
the changing attitudeo of the Southern
whites"
The attitude is undoubtedly chang
ing but it is for the worse. There
we're more lynchings in 1913 than in
1912; the unjust franchise laws are
still in force; segregation in the gov
eminent service is matter of fact;
ghettos are being established in many
Southern cities; the jimcrow car is
still running; discriminating laws are
being enacted by "our good friends"
in the Southern legislatures. Thou
sands of wrongs are being done every
day.
THE APPEAL believes that the
newspapermen have made a very SER
ious mistake in this the greatest crisis
since the civil war. We should al
ways protest against wrong. It is not
necessary to use violent or abusive
language; protest may be couched
in courteous terms.
The principal mission of the colored
press is to aid in. righting the wrongs
of the race. If it fails to do this
there is really no excuse for it's ex-
istence.
