suance of the emancipation proclama-
ton by Abraham Lincoln was cele-
brated by the National Emancipation
commemorative society at Mount Car
mel Baptist church, Washington. Lin
coin issued the emancipation procla-
nation September 20, 1852.
Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of
labor, was the principal speaker at the
celebration, and congratulated the col
ored people Of the country upon the
progress made by them since their
emancipation. He commended the So
ciety for having adopted September %
as the day for the general observance
and celebration throughout the coun-
try of the issuance of the proclamation
by Lincoln.
England and France" said he,
were on the eve of recognizing the
southern confederacy as they were in
need of cotton, and would have done
so had not President Lincoln issued
this preliminary proclamation, just
when he did, threatening to forever
abolish slavery in the cotton produc-
ing states should thoss states refuse
to lay down their arms and come back
into the Union. Not only should this
day be celebrated by the colored peo-
pie, but the people of all races
throughout the country ought to unite
in celebrating the anniversary of an
event that was the first step calcu-
lated to making the Declaration of In
dependence a living verify"
Prof. Jesse Lawson in opening tho
celebration commended the colored
people for their loyalty to country and
flag, and urged the establishment of a
chair in patriotism in American uni
versities and institutions of learning
in every section of the country.
H. Martin Williams, reading clerk of
the house, said that the abolition Of
Negro slavery in the United States
gave freedom, in part, to all of the
people in the country. Rev. w. A.
Taylor Of the Florida Avenue Baptist
church, and N. w. Mcgowan, chairman
of the ways and mean committee of
the commemorative society, also de-
livered addresses.
The society adopted resolutions rec
~ommending to the colored people of
the country that they set apart Sep
TENDER 20 of each year for a celebra-
ton of the issuance of the emancipa-
ton proclamation. The resolutions de-
clared that no class of citizens in
America will long suffer injustice be-
cause of the spirit of fair play of the
American people and called attention
to the recent decision of the Supreme
court of the United States holding un-
constitutional the grandfather clause
Of the constitutions of some of the
states by which colored voters were
Disseminated against.
The resolutions provided for the ap
pointment of a committee of 100 by
the president of the society to make
all necessary arrangements for the
congress of colored Americans to be
held in Washington next year, and
recommended to the colored people of
the country that they take steps to
participate in the national exposition
of colored Americans to be held in
Washington in 1920.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younserl Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody wiz Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre TO the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every.
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair. as it does 1t
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at q time; by morn.
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

BREEDERS WANT DAMAGES
Waukesha Cattle Men Ask for $4,000
From Government for Epf-
den,ic Losses.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. asking the
government to reimburse Waukesha
county cattle breeders for $4,000 as
return for losses sustained through the
spread of the hoof and mouth disease
was adopted at the annual meeting of
the Waukesha County Holstein Breed
ers' association. Another resolution
memoralizes the state legislature to
pass law compelling the interurban
roads in this country to carry perish
able freight. such as milk, cream and
other dairy products.
The request for epidemic damages
recites that the federal government
allowed cattle to be shipped to the
Chicago national dairy show after it
was known that cattle already there
were suffering from the disease. All
other cattle breeding associations in
this country and the state have been
asked to support the move.
Charles Will, Lisbon, was elected
president of the association; S. S.
Kramer, Hartland, vice president; Will
liam Baird, Waukesha, secretary; Geo.
Martin, Dousman, treasurer, and
Henry Earl, Eagle, member at large.
DR.. A. E. Behnke, Milwaukee, of the
bureau of animal industry, spoke upon
the foot and mouth disease, saying it
had almost been exterminated from
this state and that the quarantine
would probably be lifted early In Feb
ruary.
In an address on "The Development
Of Dairyfng," w. S. Baird said the
value Of Wisconsin cattle last year was
$100,00000O, or more than the output
of the gold mines of Colorado, Cali
f0rnia and Alaska combined.

ish all that are useless"
He says he has not been In office
long enough to specify In detail just
what agencies of government should
be discontinued, but recommends re-
trenchnent and consolidation, preserv-
ing the vital features of governmental
control. The governor takes a rap at
too hasty and too much legislation.
This legislature can render the peo-
pie a service by removing from the
statute books large number of the
laws that are useless because public
opinion does not support Them" says
the governor. people wish to be
helped rather than hampered by gov
eminent, and government will render
them the best service when it confines
it's activities to those things for which
government was created. In the past
ten years this state has had a national
reputation for so-called progress sive
legislation. Business men declare that
we have been fighting business. 'Yhe
results Of the last election clearly in
dictate that the people have reversed
their policy in this respect and they
now demand a government that will
encourage rather than hamper the de-
velOpment Of industry.
The governor disposes of the legisla-
tive reference library in one para
graph, asking that it be abolished and
the books and documents turned over
to the state law library. He says that
legislative reference bureau like
Wisconsin's has exercised an undue
influence on legislation" and has
greatly impaired legislative efficiency
and individual judgment.
He asks for the abolition of the
boards Of regents of the university

BIG EATERS HAVE BAD
KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE
Take a Glass of Salts at Once If Your
Back Is Hurting or Kidneys and
Bladder Trouble You.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE. because we eat too much and al.
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overWork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like humps
of lead: your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate clogged Kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so
1t no longer is source of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in-
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.-Adv.
