GAS a man thinketh so is he.''
Those words are the product of the
brain of the greatest devotee of wis
dom according to popular opinion in
the Jewish and Christian environments.
AS far as ocular evidence is concerned
a person who presents a clean exterior
is generally and popularity accepted as
a clean individual physically and men
tally in almost all but fortunately not
in all environments. For the purpose
Of showing the ineficiency of mere
outside cleanliness such as the eye be,

attention to the fact that the physical

some the inner man but known to the

TINAL TRACT. 1t is not called GAS.
TRO-INTESTINAL because gas often
forms in the stomach or other parts OF
that tract. AS a matter of fact ga,
does not form in the gastrointestinal
tract of a wise person. Such a person
keeps clean internally as well as ex
ternally. Such an individual is normal
physically inside as well as outside;
such an individual shows that priceless
asset wisdom by eating the proper
quantity as well as the proper quality
of nourishment. Such an individual
takes the proper amount day and
NIGHT by way of the ELEVATED
window of the greatest demonstrate
tho invisible factor-FRESH AIR
Such a person takes daily that other
indispensable, comparatively free the
visible chemical combination called
WATER and let it be understood that
the wise person takes a plenty of water
internally and externally via daily
bathing the entire body by immersion
in a bath tub of ample proportions and
via frequently drinking UNADULTER

"I am thoroughly convinced myself
that the right kind of education is the
best investment for ennobling a race
no matter what the color is, but it is
necessary for that people to sink into
the good will of all the people of the
State before we can make satisfactory
progress for all the Colored race. You
have made good up here for that senti-
ment. I meet men in Baton Rouge
who were against locating this school
here, but who are now telling me that
Southern University is fine institu-
tion and is making remarkable progress
and that it is doing good work and
that the education of the students is a
sane, sensible education"
CT understand you have but little
sickness up here; the reason for this
is, you are observing the laws Of
health, you drink good water, you have
proper bathing facilities, you keep the
mosquitoes out, the grounds properly
drained and you observe the other
principles that enter into sanitary con-
ditions. 1 hope you are getting lessons
in thrift. Don't throw useful things
away, don't break things up, but learn
to save and take care Of what you
have. This wastefulness can be applied
to all of the people"
"One kind of work is just as whole
some as the other if intelligently done.
1t does not make any difference what
kind of work people do if they live
right and work proftably. Be loyal
to Southern University"
At the conclusion of the program,

Mr.. Harris expressed himself as being

WHITE NIGHT RIDED Is KILLED
BY coLoRED MAN.

Valdosta, Ga.-Speeial-Barney New
some, Jr., a young White farmer from
Clyattville, was a member of a White
cap party on the night of February
10, attempting to run away from the
neighborhood Will Clark, Negro farm
tenant. Will Clark fred load of bird
shot into Newsome's body and New
some died in hospital here on March
3 at IL O'Clock at night.
The shooting of Newsome was not
cleared up until his family made a
statement concerning his connection
with the white cap party. Newsome
was married and the father of one
child. Another member of the party
was wounded by Clark, who made his
escape and is still at liberty.

trointestinal tract. And it does not
require such wonderful psychology to
understand that an unclean mind is an
abnormal mind or in common language
a diseased mind. Likewise an unclean
gastrointestinal tract is an abnormal
one, at the same time diseased part
of the body, capable of INFINITE
HARM to every part of the body, pro-
ducing disease and its end product dis

bal rotten apple will spoil barrel.
Gluttony also aids in producing
wealth poverty as well as health Omen
tai and physically poverty. A bad
breath is not a sign of wisdom. 1t is
an evidence of the worst type of pow
erty-mental poverty, foolishness that
leads to physical poverty and purse
poverty.
Note the paradox: An unclean mind
will produce by gluttony an unclean
gastrointestinal tract and an unclean
gastrointestinal tract will produce by
the body fluids an unclean mind. The
vicious cycle being established mental
and physical diseases functional as well
as organic follow, in accord with THE
HIGHEST LAW-the LAW OF Ma
TURE. These diseases or rather this
disease shows so many different symp-
toms that physicians are often baff1ed
as to the real cause which is obviously
necessary almost always to know in
order to effect cure. And can the pa
tient who has been unconsciously pro-

The easy, common-sense method

Constipation is a condition that af-
fects the old, young and middle-aged'
and most people at one time or anoth'
er need help in regulating the action
of the bowels. Harsh cathartics and

to relieve constipation as their effect
is only temporary while they shock
the system unnecessarily.
