AN EDUCATION.

The state superintendent of educa-
ton, C. G.. Schulz, has voiced the
feeling of educationalists generally
towards the Christmas seal cam
paign.
II recognize the educational value
of the Christmas SEAL said Mr..
Schulz. 1T follows the very best
principle of our modern educational
methods by supplying a definite
thing to which we can tie the in
formation we impart.
Simple as it is. the Christmas
seal is the greatest educational de-
vice to spread the knowledge of tu-
berculosis, it's cause and especially
it's prevention that has yet been
thought Of. To every school child in
our great North Star state the
Christmas seal beings it's message;
something to understand, someone to
help, great evil to be overthrown.
I wish the Minnesota Public Health
association every success in it's ener-
get1c campaign for the Christmas
seal and all that tho Christmas seal
means in abolishing this terrible dis
ease from our schools, our homes and
our people. We know the work Of
this association in direct education

People afflicted with bad breath find

by all who know them.
|. DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen-

stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any of
the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, >sickening;

Edwards Olive Tablets without grip
ing, pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with bowel

bad breath.

Lakeland And Other Towns
interested In Meeting Of Wesley
Classes At Ocala Oct. 1O-11-l2


Methodist here and in other parts o
the State are much interested in tn
plans for meeting of the state o
Florida Wesley classes, which will
occur in Ocala on October 10, IL ant
IL. Estimates are made that 600 O.
more will attend.
A special from Leesburg concern
ing the plan of the Wesley clsase:
says.
REV. D. B. Sweat, of this city, who
is member of the executive commit
tee of the Florida Conference Sunday
Schol Board, has been designated by
the board as the publicity manager Of
the great Wesley Glass federation, to
be held in the city of Ocala, October
10th to 18th.
"This Wesley Bible Glass movement
is comparatively new thing in the
Z Methodist church, but it is sweeping
rapidly over the connection, and as a

the church are being lined up for ac-
tive church work than for many years
past The organized classes give
work. to many who otherwise would
be dormant as regarding church activi-
ty.
There are in the Florida confer
ence some very fine classes, among
them the class in connection with
Hyde Park church. Tampa the Wesley
Brotherhood Glass, Sanford; the Busy
Mems Class Ocala, Lakeland and Kis-
simmee also boast of very active class
es of men. In a number of places
special rooms have been built for
these classes, and they are proving
great helpers to busy pastors, as thew
take from the pastors shoulders so
much work heretofore resting upon
him.
There are number of strong WON
ems classes also. The Sanford church
has one with membership of about
seventy-fve. The Manatee church
has a remarkable class known as
The Marys and Marthas" class
which is noted for it's works of chart
ty and good deeds. At one time this
class had membership, including its
working circle members, of nearly 100
Last year it was decided that these

Grafton, and this was done at a meet
ing held in Orlando. Over 300 classes
were registered at that time, and the
goal set for this year was 500 classes,
aid the chances are that this goal
will be reached or nearly so by the
tine of the federation meeting to be
held in the Brick City.

In addition to DR.. Built, several
other prominent speakers have been
secured for the occasion"
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-09-14
IN THE OLD DAYS-AND NOW.

One OF the speakers at the cOnven-
ton in Savannah of negro Baptists
urged the members of his race to
strive for greater stability, to make
themselves more responsible and re-
1iable. His counsel will find warm
approval among Southern white peo-
pie, who since the days of slavery
have had to contend with unsteady
and indispensable servants. Gradual
ly, there has been more or less of an
adjustment and an improvement, but
the colored servant even today who
can be relied upon to keep faith as to
all promises and instructions is suffi-
GENTLY scarce to be held as a price
Jess possession.
Complaint of the great change that
had been wrought in living conditions
was voiced by a writer in the Savan-
nah Sunday Telegram something like
decade after the War between the
States. 1t is complaint that even
now is not wholly without timeliness.
"A portion of it follows:
i with many of our people it has
been the problem of dozen years to
reconcile the new order of social re-
lations with that dignified quiet and
retired home life characteristic of
Southern society in the days of slav-
cry. Keeping house with unreliable
and irresponsible servants becomes a
WEAKNESS to woman and a great
source of irritation to man, and. with
the best intentions to do right. father
and mother very often set bad exam.
pies to their children. Then. too.
when one of the transitory servants
suddenly departs without leaving any
one to take the place, although it may
be no disgrace for the lady to go to
the cook-pot or the gentleman to han
ale the coal scuttle, it is at least de-
cidedly movement and unpleasant.
These and thousand other little dis
agreeable incidents of housekeeping,
which are too tedious to mention, have
driven many families to try boarding
out"
Such educators as the speaker here
the other day constitute a steadying
influence among the negroes. and an
influence that is still sorely needed
Freedom to go and come as thew
please is privilege that the colored
folks are given to using to their own
disadvantage. They are too quick to
drop whatever they may be about to
take up the chase after an illusorv ,
