Well Known Remedy

Important TO Dispose Of Waste from The

People frequently attribute to fail
ure of the digestive organs conditions
that are primarily due to inactive
bowels, land apply remedies that from
their very nature are more apt to
aggravate than to relieve the disor-
der.
When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is IN better shape to per-
form its allotted tasks and can usu-
ally he depended upon. To keep the
bowels in condition there is no more
effective remedy than the combina-
tion of simple laxative herbs known
as DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which
is sold in drug stores at fifty cents a
bottle.
DR. Caldwell has prescribed this
remedy in his practice for over a
quarter of century, and it is today
the standard household remedy in
thousands of homes. Mr. Thos De-
Loach, with the Department of the
Interior, Indian Affairs, lat Washing

Editor County Record
am sending you this report be-
cause want you to have a correct
account of what took place at this
hearing, as understand the impress
sion has been created that | was un.
fair to Miss Wilson in my questions
concerning the use of the school
buildings on Sunday for political
gatherings, and in my endeavor to
get her to agree with me that the
bill ought to be amended so that the
negroes would meet in negro school
buildings. and the white people meet
in the white school buildings. BY
reading the places that are marked
YOU will note that the chief points of
contention were whether or not the
schools should be used on Sunday for
political meetings, and whether or
not the audiences should be mixed
audiences, that is, composed of whites
and negroes. entertain the same
views about the whites and negroes
in Washington that do in my own
district, and while would much have
preferred for this question not to
have been r.:sed in this way, l feel
that | should take the position that
the races should be segregated, and
the property here in the District

that is paid for in part by taxes laid
on our people should be properly
protected and preserved; and all the
more do feel should take this po-
sition because Miss Wilson and the
other proponents of this bill stated
that it was a model bill that should
be adopted by all the States of the
Union. In the District, as it now
stands, the schools are one of the
few places where the races are sep
arated. Intermarriages between
whites and blacks are permitted by
law; street cars, railway trains and
all other transportation facilities
are used in common by whites and
blacks; and as this is the capital Of
the nation, and as the whole nation is
taxed in part for its maintenance, |
believe that the Representatives
from the different States should en-
deavor to create here a healthy SEN
timent for segregation of the races.
| have never left an effort unspared
to bring about this result, and in this
bill, which was referred to the sub
committee of which | am member,
| felt that | ought to point to the
evil existing in the bill permitting
the use of the schools used by white
children and white teachers by ne
groes and by mixed audiences. |
