PLEA FOR CHILDHOOD. - he

many readers are willing to get to-
gether and form a fighting organiza-
ton for the benefit of childhood?
Millions of little children are suf-
fering. Their cry is for chance to
live, while we look ON, apparently,
heartless, doing nothing to assist
their helplessness or turn sorrow into
joy.
Come forth, you who would have a
better world. Those of us who have
no funds to give can donate our serv-
ice. Let us make the child question
the real issue of the hour.
Why do we allow the innocent
ones to suffer. Surely there are
mountains of food and clothes on
earth for them all Let us take a
thousand faded faces, bring them to
the doors of those who live IN man
sions and ask them to assist us to
save life. We do not need funds to
organize this union. Action counts.
Who is willing to act? = A Chiid's

The death oi AieX Hardison, who
died i'll /, prawn boat before the other
two men on board could get him to
the city. recalls the fact that two or
three negroes have died under eX-
actly the same circumstances recent
ly and after an investigation il de
velops that the probable cause Of
their deaths is the drinking of n
liquid of their own cCncoction as
Hardison was known to manufacture
a substitute for liquor and made it
at regular intervals
Other negroes who have drank the
liquid having received il from Hardi-
son state that it has practically the
same effect as liquor but puts the
drinlier out of business in Il great deal
less time than the genuine article.
The death of the other two negroes
was investigated by well known
white man and he reached the con-
cluS'on that there was no doubt but
that the substitute fo7 whiskev had
been the cause of their deaths and is
absolutely satisfied that the drink
discovered by Hardison was the cause
Of the other three deaths.
