PREVENT RElAPSES OF GRIP

This Is the time of year when those
who have had the form of infuenzs
known as ''the grip" are suffering from
the condition in which the disease in
variably leaves its victims.
Grip leaves the blood thin and this
anemia which follows grip is very stub
born one in resisting treatment. Unjust
be corrected however beforeany cure can
be considered permanent. As long as
the blood remains thin there will con-
tinue the relapses with which most suf-
ferers from grip are familiar. Warmth
and quiet alone give comfort and these
not for long at time. Sleep is restless
and does not refresh the nerves which
are always at high tension.
The best way to correctthis after-efect
of the grip is to build up the blood and
there is no better blood builder than Dr..
Williams Pink Pills.
As soon as the revitalized blood courses
through the system you are aware of it's
soothing influence. Gradually the color
returns to the pale cheeks, appetite end

Political Gathering Held at African
Baptist Church, Addressed by
Candidates for
Offices.
STATEMENT OF STAND
Or. T. n. Phillips Says coIored Man
Does Not Want a Lot Of
Promises, But a Square
Deal,

Ahother mass meeting Of the col
ored voters Of the city was held last
nisht IN the African Baptist church at
seventeenth and Main streets, for
the purpose of discussing politics and
securing the views of the various can
dldates for city office, a number of
whom were present
| There was a good sized crowd at
| the meeting. In the absence of the
chairman, Rev. Patrick Thomas, who
was otherwise engaged, the meeting
was called to order by DR.. T. H.
Philips. In his opening remarks, the
chairman seemed to voice the senti
ment OF the voters present as he was
warmly applauded q.
me colored voters Of the city"
said DR.. Phillips, "did not come here
to hear the candidates make a lot OF
promises that they can't keep. The
colored people are too apt to be led
astray by these. We don't want the
promises, all we want candidate to
40 is say that he will fill the city
office to the best of his ability and
give everybody square deal.
The colored man Is not the AFRO.
CANT person he is pictured. He "a
meek and retiring before the white
man. 1t is hard for him to get
square deal in the world and the only
way he can get back is at the ballot.
BY exerting a united influence, the
colored people have a chance to help
themselves by voting intelligently at
the polls.
If the colored voters of the CITY
stuck together, there strength would
be enough to swing the election to
their candidates. The Swedes and
Irish and Germans are divided and
the colored people have the upper
hand if they stick together"
AT the conclusion Of DR.. Phillips re-
marks, Rev. Thomas arrived and took
charge of the meeting, following which
the candidates present gave short ad.
dresses, all OF which were applauded.
Following the meeting a fish supper
was served in the basement of ths
church building by the women mem
bers of the church.
