A Hint to Mothers
of Growing Children
A MILD LAXATIVE AT REGULAR
INTERVALS WILL PREVENT
CONSTIPATION.

A vital point upon which all schools
of medicine seem to agree is that nor
NAL regularity of the bowels is an es-
sential to good health. The impor-
lance of this is impressed particularly
on mothers of growing children.
A very valuable remedy that
should be kept in every home for use
as occasion arises is DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, a compound of simple
laxative herbs that has been prescrib-
ed by DR.. w. B. Caldwell, of Monti-
cello, ILL.,, for more than twenty-five
years, and which can now be obtain
ed in any well stocked drug store
for fifty cents bottle.
In recent letter to DR.. Caldwell,
Mrs. H. C. Turner, 844 Main St.,
Buffalo, N. Y, says, 81 bought bot
tie of DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin
for my baby, Roland Lee Turner, and
find it works just like you said it
would. 1t is fine for the stomach
and bowels.

The Danville Advocate had a very
vicious editorial Thursday in regard
to the legislation seeking to close the
saloons on Sunday, and charged that
the "work of the whole legislature
has been destroyed by the influence
of the Beckham leaders" and then
goes on to say that Judging by
these events it looks like it is about
time Kentucky was Kidding herself of
Beckhamism." Yes, we suppose so,
and turn the whole state over to the

A WORLD CITIZENSHIP.

The great demand of the present
and the future is for clearer concep.
ton in the minds of the people of all
nations of what world citizenship
means and what 1t demands. The
men of the future must not only be
educated to be loyal citizens Of their
native lands or the countries Of their
adoption. but they must also have a
rigid training as to their attitude to.
ward the rest Of the world. It has
been taken for granted for generations
that the so-called christian nations
had more moral perception OF the fact
that other nations had rights even in
times of war. and that war conditions
did not do away with the moral law,
which is another name for civilization.
The present war has revealed the APP
palling fact that the human race has
not progressed much beyond the
savage except in the invention of more
deadly war paraphernalia. The world
must be impressed anew with the SUI.
preme rights Of common humanity

IN our race whom we blush for, but 1t
is also true Of the white race.
| From time to time, the Crisis Mag.
azine has published articles concern
! ing this picture, as q precursor OF
| race hatred. Which, as we all
know, we suffer from day to day for.
To say 1t is not detrimental to US
Is an erroneous statement referred to.
We can categor1cally state it is true.
Our conduct in this matter is only
to save our self respect. 1t is partic-
ularly pleasing to me to avail myself
Of this opportunity to ask your hearty
cooperation in this matter as men Of
my race.
can not believe that people, who
has progressed SO far In education,
wealth and influence will allow a
thing SO VIGOROUSLY indecent that
various cities will not allow 1t to be
shown, will allow 1t to be shown in
our city.
The comparison Is unjust, but those
who only know the negro as an
honest and faithful one. will be sur
rrised at the wholesale inaccuracy OF
this picture.

as II our self respect is at a low ebb.
What has investigation proven?
Mr.. Du Bots in one Of his speeches,
said his sense Of fair play was stung
by imputing to clean review so black
q play against our race and our ideals
Surely our great service in the civil
war and also the Spanish-American
war can not be wholly ignored. Have
we no rights to self respect?
In conclusion let me say that
earnestly hope that none Of my people
Will be SO obtuse rs to see what this
thing means to us as race.
1t only exhibits the trait in our
white brother to see the mote in our
eye when the beam is in his own.
In spite OF our enormous progress,
We have been met with only coldness
and contempt from the white race
And we cannot afford to be Indifferent
in this matter which only adds fuel to
the flame.
Lay aside your mercenary thoughts
that arise In your minds and protect
your honor and self respect which is
about to be trampled in the dust of
disgrace. It Hes with you to do 50.
Will you protect them? Or will you
see every shred of self respect torn
from our backs, leaving us quivering
in humiliation without protest
against It?

PERSONALITY STILL COUNTS

This has truly been styled the age
Of the machine. Not only are we sur
rounded by wonderful inventions
which do much Of the worlds work
but men themselves are 80 much a
part Of some system that they be-
come in their work, In society, in ali
the realms of activity mere parts Of
monstrous and ever-revolvfng ma
chine. Nevertheless, personality, in
dependence OF thought and manner of
life, attract attention and compel the
world to sit up and take notice as
nothing else ever can. 1t is as true
now, as 1t ever has been, that If you
want to be living, vitalizing force,
you cannot afford to follow the crowd
but rather must show your ability to
be unconventionally thinking out
things for yourself "above the clouds
and fogs of public thinking" and act
out your own convictions and live
your own life in an honest, courage
Gus way Such man the thought
less may laugh at, but posterity has
a way of caring for his fame. In
this very time. when the centrifugal
forces seem to sweep everything and
everybody into one common mael-
strom Of inconsequence and medioc-
rity, individuality and simplicity are
potential factors that cannot be
ignored.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

1t is true that compassion ought
like all other feelings. to be under
the government Of reason, and has
for want of such government, pro
duced some ridiculous and some de-
plorable effects. But the more we
study the annals of the past the more
shall we rejoice that we live in a
merciful age, in an age in which
cruelty is abhorred, and in which pain
even when deserved is inflicted re
luctantly and from a sense of duty
Every class. doubtless, has gained
largely by this great moral change:
but the class which has gained most
is the poorest, the most dependent
md the most defenseless.
