tive, because they love it's pleasant
taste and it thoroughly cleanses the

When cross, irritable, feverish or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, Mother! If coated, give
a teaspoonful Of this harmless "fruit
laxative" and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the
bowels, and you have well, playful
child again. When it's little system
is full Of cold, throat sore, has stonn-
ache-ache, diarrhoea, indigestion,
colic-remember, good ''inside
cleansing" should always be the first
treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep "Californ-
la Syrup of Figs" handy; they know
teaspoonful today saves sick child
tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a
5O-cent bottle Of "California Syrup of
Figs, which has directions for ba-
bies, children of all ages and grown
ups printed on the bottle. Beware

fooled. Get the genuine, made by

How to Recognize a United States
Marine

New York, August TIA group of
youngsters were playing on River
side Drive. A military man, dressed
in khaki and accompanied by young
lady, approached the group. The
boys stopped their playing and, with
nudges and gesticulation, we're evil
IDENTIFY trying to identify the man in
khaki.
AS the young lady and her escort
drew nearer, one youngster with an
air of superior knowledge informed
his companions: "He's United
States marine"
Overhearing the remark, the young
lady questioned the small boy: "How
do you know he is a Mariner"
"Why lady," exclaimed the young
ster, "He wears an ornament on his
hat showing an eagle, globe, and an
Choir, but doesn't wear any hat cord
The colored hat cords, yellow, blue,
and red, help many civilians to rec
ognize at once cavalryman, an in
fantryman or artilleryman. How
ever the U. S. marine dressed in khaki
is still an enigma to many persons
who lack the powers Of observation
displayed by the small boy on River
side drive.

cessful Session

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Raleigh, Aug. 17-Peace institute

cessful session for several years.
This prediction is made on account
Of the fine registration to date. More
former students are returning than

ing one to the present administra-
ton. The applications Of new girls
are away ahead of this time last
year, with fine prospects for the

Each department al Peace has
teachers trained at the best colleges
and universities in the country. They
are engaged on this account and al
so for success in teaching, personal
ity and Christian character.
Miss Mary Owen Graham, the pres
ident has given special attention to
the physical department this year.
She believes in strong body devel-
opment for the college girl. Miss
Margaret Blake, graduate of the
New Haven school of gymnastics
will be the director. The climate of
Raleigh permits outdoor athletics
practically all winter. The great
need of physical development for
each student also entered into the
employment of the instructor for her
whole time for this department.
Miss Margaret 1ngraham will be the
instructor in English. Miss Ingra-
ham comes to Peace with several
years Of successful teaching in Flor
ida. She is graduate Of Vasshr
college, and a student for her mas
ter's degree at Columbia.
Miss Alice L. Harsh, Birmingham,
Ala, will be the teacher Of express
sion. Miss Harsh is a graduate of
Smith college and the Curry school

has always been one of distinction.
Prof. Brawley has been at the head
Of this department for many years.
Misses LOWE Jones and Matte Bur
we'll, piano, ard Prof. Gustav Hage-
dorm, violin, will assist him.
Mrs. Horace Dowell, Raleigh, is
again the teacher of voice. Mrs.
Dowell is most successful in training
the individual voice, and also in her
chorus.
Mrs. Ruth Huntington Moore will
continue in the art department. She
is teacher of note and has attained
marked success as an artist.
Miss Graham and her able faculty

young women for the Church, State
and home with the best ideals.

THINGS SEEN AND HEARD

(By The Robesonian's local reporter
while on and off his beat).
While it was not learned whether
Or not certain frog had heard about
what a good tobacco market Lum-
berton has and decided to come and
see for himself, or whether he was
brought in by farmer and sold as
though he had been tobacco too, it
is a fact that one was seen "walking''
about over the Banner warehouse one
afternoon recently. The frog was
seen to stop and take look at a
number of piles of the weed, and then
one could imagine how the frog mar
veled at the price the tobacco brought.
The frog seemed to have been well
pleased with the sales and never ut
tered one word of complaint while
the reporter was about. Maybe the
frog will read this in the paper and
then explain through the paper just
how he came to visit the market.
X
The money received from the to-
bacco grown by the farmers is not all
they will in most instances get from
the land on which they grew tobacco
this year. Most Of yne farmers plant
ed peas between the tobacco rows and
will harvest bumper hay crop from
the LARD which has alredy melted
them from $500 to $500 the acre.
81 serve gentlemen meals for 40
cents, but don't serve dogs meals at
any price,. That was about the
words put up to hungry farmer by
a colored restaurant proprietor at
Fairmont recently. The farmer ate
up what the negro put on the table
and called for more. He contended
that the negro promised to give him
square" meal for 40 cents and it
was a square" meal he wanted. The
negro decided it took too much to
make Square" meal for that par
ticular farmer. The farmer resent
ed the words served him by the ne
gro in the place of more to eat and
a row resulted. While no battle was
fought, some rough language was
handled and the result was a trial
before Rrecorder Floyd. Each of the
defendants was required to pay the
costs. Counsel was employed by each
VI Cll0 uS1SINldHCS.
1t is said that many tenants who
cleared a few hundred bucks from
their tobacco crop this year are buy
ing secondhand automobiles. The
reporters idea is that it would pay
them much better to buy land. The
reporter heard Of one man who spent
the last dollar he cleared on his to-
bacco for Ford and had to buy gas
oline on credit to run it home. Bad
business.
"Would you let ME nave one Of the
new Democratic dimes what's just
come out?" asked a colored man of
Mr.. W. F. Bristow, cashier of the
Peoples Bank & Trust Co. Of Fair
mont one day recently. The darkey
told Mr.. Bristow that he wanted the
Democratic dime to put on his watch
chain.

OLD PLANTATION MEMORIES
(By SNYDER)

I wish | could write out some OF
the old plantation melodies that Uncle
Jake used to entertain the little boy
nm his snug log cabin at nights, and
the regrets that would Cypress him
when the housemaid, Hannah, would
call out "Mistes' says it's time to
come i'm. With last, long linger-
ing look at Uncle Jake and the siz-
zling skillet, he'd slowly make his
way to the big house.
Now why was Uncle Jake more en-
pertaining than his own folks? 1t
was because Uncle Jake placed HIM
self on a level with the little boy,
and didn't try to make him think and
act above his capability. ! awake at
nights sometimes even now and in
imagination can see the old man with
his broad smile and hear his chuck
ling humor as he tells the little boy
some surprisingly dramatic story OF
forest and field. He was the plan
tation shoemaker and with all my ad-
miration for him I really thought he
ought to make my shoes fit better ;
but maybe it was because the colonel
didn't understand the proper mode
of tanning his hides, or it was be-
cause he had no right and left lasts
for making the shoes and you had to
change them. every morning! Ana
o, how it would hurt if the weather
was cold and if you happened to
have a sore heel! goodness gracious!
I hate to think about it even to this
day.
have limited in a former paper
about old Jakes culinary abilities
with the skillet. don't think he had
an equal in the preparation of a fat
'possum, and often in the midst OF
this entertaining procedure a call
from the big house would swamp all
nv fond anticipations.
Jake could tell the most wonderful
ghost stories, which l believed at the
time and even now after all my col
lege culture and philosophy believe
them just the same. You may ask,
How do you explain that? ! don't
try to explain it: just mix it with
other inexplicable things that occur
around US every day and let it go at
that. Jake believed them, and how
could I help myself? 1t may have
been wrong, but l don't like to this
day to pass a graveyard at night. |
can very easily reason myself out
of the hallucination, and look the 9TH
er way, but 1 travel a little faster,
all the same.
Now, my friends, you who have
asked me to continue these recollec-
tions, 1 am not at the end by any
means, but in case they may become
boring to others who are not my
friends particularly, shall hold up
for the present, but if 1 should get
any particular encouragement to con-
tinue them, just drop me line to
that effect, and you will hear of
things you NAV never have dreamed
of before. Besides, these rah!dom
pencilings may have the effect of
drawing our minds off, somewhat,
from the horrible happenings Of the
war, which seem to engross US so
much.

The Purplo Flask

One by one they shook hands with
him and wished him luck. He left
the place with Minna, whom he mar
ried that night, and the next morn
ing he left her, taking the purple
flask with him.
He thought her love for him. would
give him courage to perform the ter
rible task ahead Of him-but does
love weaken or strengthen a man
who is about to give his liberty, per-
haps his life, to Cause?
That is the theme Of Gouverneur
