CALOMEL MAKES
 YOU SICK, UGH!
''DOds0n's Liver TOne' better than
 cal0mel and can not salivate

Calomel loses you day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quick silver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickenirg you. Calo- mel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 WAen you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for 50 cents a large bot tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, wh oh is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straigh- tens you r ght up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

MAKING AMERICANS
 OF ALIEN CITIZENS

Little Rock. Sept. 26.-The United States bureau of naturalization at Washington reports that Little Rock, which last year failed to provide fo: the specific education of it's alien population, has joined the nation wide campaign for the betterment of civic conditions, and will soon estab- fish night classes for their benefit.
 In 1910 there were approximately 2,O00 foreign born in the city's popu- lation of 45,941. Of the 1,0O6 foreign born white males of voting age only 629 had been naturaliZed.
 The bureau announces that it will assist in every possible way in the campaign for citizenship prepared ness. It will furnish textbooks for the instruction of candidates for citizenship Every public school, wherever located, if engaged in alien instruction will be fully equipped by the bureau of naturalization for the great and constructive work.

"An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a
 Pound of Curt.''
 In a county where thousands of dollars are spent every year in our criminal courts to punish crime, surely we can afford to maintain one court whose aim is to prevent crime. You can't do anything with man who's been reared in filth and ignOr- ance and poverty until he's warped, except spend lot of money on him and then send him to the penitentiary "a dead loss to society-but if you had gotten him at the age of six you could have made him into a citizen instead of a criminal. That's where the juvenile court comes in. Those 53 children that we placed in betta homes, the 20 in institutions, the 211 on probation, will be citizens where they might have been criminals.

 We need your help in this work. How? you ask.
 You can play "big brother to one of our boys or "big sister, to one of our ambitious girls, h.eln send one to school or find job.
 You can work for the passage by the next legislature of our bill to establish state industrial school for girls, and to make 9 good institution out of the Boys Reform school by removing it to a good tract of farm land and properly equipping it.

The juvenile court does it's work in fhis county so quietly that many peo- ple scarcely know it exists. We never fublish or permit to be published the pames and misdeeds of the children Fe handle because we want to safe guard their regulations, and we have eosolutely private hearings of cases Tor the same reason. Hence the public hears nothing about us. How ever that they may know We are far rom idle, we publish the following ?tatement of work done during the (hird year of the courts existence: Our Wards.

 A Few Stories.
 No statistics can give you true idea of our work. Here's one case of 2. girl of IA whom We found on a miserable shack of 9 house-boat on the river. She was a regular little "river rat, filthy, vermin-invested, half-clothed, illiterate living with the most shiftless father in the world.
 
 neglected girls she is clean and neat is proving to have bright mind and learning rapidly. A church society here is clothing her and taking great interest and the child seems abso- lutely satisfied.
 Here's the case of another girl of IA, seriously immoral, wild and in- corrigible. We had this poor child examined by a mental specialist of national repute visiting at, our state hospital for nervous disease and she was pronounced feeble-minded-of the mental age of ten years-entirely irresponsible and unable to protect herself from the abuse of men. After having had her treated and cured of disease we raised money from rela- tives and placed her in an ideal little school in St. Louis for delinquent girls where behavior is perfect. She will stay there as many years as pos sible, thus being protected herself and restrained from endangering many young boys of this town. (Ar- kansas, to it's shame be it said, has no state institution for delinquent girls and we must take them to other states for the care they need.) Take the boys classes. We have a State reform school, but it is full of hardened criminals from the peni- tentiary and has no proper facilities for teaching trades and reforming the boys, SO we cannot send hopeful cases there. Recently we took two delin- quent boys, one 13, and one 15, to private schools for delinquents in Illinois, securing railway passes and the very inexpensive tuition-in one instance from parents, in the other from subscription. These were two

BIG EVENT AT CHARLESTON.
Citizens Of West Virginia Metropolis
Observe Thirteenth Amendment Day.

The recent celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the enactment into law
of the thirteenth amendment to the
United States constitution by our peo-
pie at Charleston. W. Va, was most
interesting event. The occasion was
made very helpful as well as instruc-
tive, as the speakers referred to the
since 1865 and showed what can be
done through organization and individ-
ual effort to further our progress.
AS to individual success, Professor
Byrd Prillerman, principal OF the West
Virginia Collegiate institute at lnsti-
tute, W. Va, was referred to as a good
example. Professor Prillerman was
born slave in Franklin county. Va.
Oct. 10. 1859. He walked over the AL
legheny and Blue Ridge mountains
with his parents to Kanawha county
w. Va, in the month OF March, 1868
and settled on farm near Sissonville
AS the Prillerman family were the
only colored persons living in Poca dis
trict at that time, it was not until Byrd
was thirteen years old that he had the
opportunity of attending even a rural
school. He says that the state Of West
Virginia has expended upon him for
his education about S14 and that he
will more than repay this four times in
taxes this year.
By diligent study and close applica-
tion Nfr. Prillerman secured his first
certificate to teach school in July, 1879.
and began to teach his home school in
The fall of the same year. He has
taught each year since. nctwithStand-
ing he spent several years since that
time in college. He has received de-
Srees from Knoxville college, Knox
vile. Tenn. and Westminster college,
New Wilmington, Pa
After Professor Prillerman's gradua-
tion from college he taught in the city
schools OF Charleston until the West
Virginia Collegiate institute was open
ed in May. 1892 SO well did he per-
form his duties as teacher in ihis iu-
sfitution. that he was promoted 10 the
presidency Sept. %. 1909, upon the
death of the late President ]. McHa4ry
Jones.
Under Mr.. Prillermans administers
ton the attendance of the school has
increased from 235 to 81 the prescn,
year. Thirteen acres OF land have been
secured and new dining hall erected
ut cost OF $4,000. The industrial de
partment has been strengthened. and
special emphasis has been placed oD
the teaching of agriculture
Such a stimulus has been given to
thorough preparation that fifteen grad
yates of the school are now pursuing
college courses in various instituticSs
