SilOam Springs Man
 Gets Back Health

John M. Roach of Sloan Springs, Ark, was long a sufferer from sto- mach troubles and related disorders common in this section of the coun- try. Along with his stomach trouble he was occasionally attacked by ia grippe. He was congested, unhappy nervous-just like la grippe always makes one feel.
 He gave Mayr's Wonderful Remedy a trial. He was surprised at the swiftness with which his trouble van ished. He wrote:
 When your trial treatment was received l was getting better on an- other treatment, so 1 deferred taking your medicine until an unusually se- were attack of la grippe came upon me. Previously I have had to just wear out such attacks. 1 thought this good test. took your medicine according to directions and was never more surprised in my life. In thirty six hours the grippe was knocked silly and I have felt like new man ever since."

 Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more dis tress after eating, pressure of gas on the stomach and around the heart. Get one bottle of yourd ruggist now and try it on an absolute guarantee if not satisfactory money will be re- turned.

A Lifelong Obligation.

In the January Woman's Home Companion the Rev. Dr. Charles K. Jefferson, pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle, says:
 "Whatever else a grown-up son may be released from, he never out grows the obligation of honoring his parents. So long as they live, he owes them reverance which he owes to no one else. However busy he may be he owes them some of his time. What ever may be his attachments. and how ever exalted his position, the law of God holds him to filial veneration and love.
 "If the son, having become a man, continues to live under the parental roof, he must not forget that he is in his fathers house, and that at many points his fathers wish should be con sidered law. No son, in the twenties or thirties or forties, is justified be- cause of his age in recklessly disre- garding the expressed wishes of his parents, and in declaring by his con duct that he will exercise his legal right of doing what he pleases. At tention to the parental voice is beau tiful in sons of whatever age. Con- siderateness is always lovely, especial ly when shown to ones parents. Boorishness is never so ugly as when manifested by grown sons to their father or mother.
 Little boys can be boistrous and rude without lacerating the hearts of their parents, but when boys become men, they cannot speak harshly to their father or mother without having their words hurt worse than a stab or blow. A grown son who acts the boor in the home of his parents is a barbarian, however polite he may be in society,""

can Policy.
PEACE IN THE AMERICAS
To Link Republics Of Two Continents.
Delegates To the Scientific Con-
qress Applaud New Pan
Americanism.

Washington. - The United States
Governments Pan-American policy
was revealed in detail by President
Wilson in an address before the Sec
ond Pan-American Scientific Congress.
He explained the proposals submitted
to South and Central American diplO-
mats here last week by Secretary
Lansing as a basis for an effective
agreement between all the republics Of
the Western Hemisphere mot only for
international peace of America, but the
domestic peace of America"
What Plan Embodies.
This program, as outlined by the
President, proposes that all the Ameri-
can nations shall:
Unite in guaranteeing to each
other Obsolute political independ-
ence and territorial integrity.
Agree to settle all pending boun-
dairy disputes as soon as possible
by amicable process.
Agree to handle all disputes
arising among them by patient,
impartial investigation and to set
tie them by arbitration.
Agree that no revolutionary ex-
pedition shall be outftted against
or supplies for revolutionists ship
ped to neighboring. states.
"These are very practical sugges-
tions," said the President, land l, for
my part. believe that they are going
to lead the way to something that
America has prayed for for many a
generation.
He said the Monroe Doctrine always
had been and always would be main
tanned by the United States on its own
but that the doctrine did not
disclose what attitude the United
States would assume toward other
nations of the hemisphere, and conse-
Quently the other nations had been dis
trustful of it.

POINTS IN GOVERNOR GOLDSl
BOROUGH'S FINAL MESSAGE

There are ways yet open Which ray'
be reasonably employed to increase
the States income.
It is time for the State to insist thar
all children of school age shan have I'll
least minimum education.
The certification of teachers should
he the sole function of the Stale De
partment of Education.
The State and county school systems
are sorely in need of trained super
visors.
The laws should be so amended as
to make it to the advantage Of those
institutions that are willing to affiliare
with the Maryland State UNIVERSITY.
The academic courses at the Mary
land Agricultural College should. in
large measure, be discontinued and its
resources devoted entirely TO ne
promuIgation of agricultural knowl-
edge and skill.
It is important that the colored peo-
pie receive such education as viii en-
able them to meet properly the de-
mands of citizenship.
The State Board of Health should be
able to make one general survey of
county each summer and a school
survey each winter.
No new steps should be taken in the
campaign against tuberculosis before
special provisions are made for tuber-
cular negroes justly proportioned to
their number, their racial susceptibility
and their economic status.
The past two years has marked a
great improvement in the conduct and
management of penal institutions of
the State.
1 suggest that the appointment Of
members of the Advisory Board Of
Pardons and Parole, as well as of their
investigators, be vested in the Cover
nor.
l favor the establishment of a farm
for the treatment of inebriates.
The results attained by the State In
dustrial Accident Commission have
been more satisfactory than even its
advocates had dared to hope.
l favor the creation of the Office Of
State conservation commissioner,
under whose direction shall be placed
the work now performed by Shell Fish
Commission, State Fishery Force, Fish
Commissioners for the Eastern and
Western Shores, State mine inspector,
game warden and State Board Of
Forestry.
1t would be we'll to enlarge the func-
tions of the Highway Commissioner to
include those of the Commissioners OF
Motor Vehicles and abolish the latter
Office
A publicity department might be
properly organized under the Bureau
of State immigration and Animal In
dustry.
Consideration should be given TO
some system that will fix maximum
amount beyond which the Legislature
cannot appropriate money to any par
ticular function of government.
1t would be wise and economical to
provide for constitutional convention
to bring our Constitution up to the re.
1uirements of the day.
