For many years physicians have
agreed that the vast majority of hu-
man ills were caused by accumulated
waste i'll the lower intestine; that in
our present way of living nature could
not remove all this waste without as
slstance, no matter how regular we
might be; and that the poison from
this waste circulated through the blood
pulled us away down below par and was
responsible for many diseases of a SER
ious nature.
During this time the "J. B. L. Cas-
cade'' for internal bathing has, be-
cause of their recommendation and
those of its users, been steadily grow.
ing in favor.
Recently. however, the startling news
which has been covering this country
that great surgeons and specialists have
been operating on the lower intestine
for the most chronic and serious dis
eases has caused Americans to become
thoroughly awake to the Importance of
keeping this lower intestine free tram

100000 are now using internal baths.

.,aionIes Founded by Negroes.

fhe first attempt to found an Afri-
csia settlement for liberated slaves was
made 1870 years ago when Sierre Lee
one, on the west coast of Africa, was
organized for that purpose. Doctor
Smeathman was the author of the
scheme and Captain Thompson in
1855 purchased the territory from
King Tom of the Timmanehs and COM
menced the settlement with 400 ne
groes and 60 Europeans. The hostility
of the natives and the shiftlessness Of
the black colonists resulted in the-fail-
ure of the first attempt. In 1871 the
survivors were collected and new set
tlement was started, with a colony of
1,200 negroes from Nova Scotia and
the Bahamas. The American negroes
were much more successful and Sierra
Leone is now a prosperous colony. In
1922 q similar colony was established
to the south of Sierra Leona and it be-
came the refuge for freed blacks of
the United States, as Sierra Leone had
been for those of British possessions.
The American colony became the in
dependent republic of Liberia in 1S47.

MAKE BOTH
ENDS MEET
New Laws Enacted Al
feCting Finances of
Public Schools
WHAT NEW BILLS MEAN
Minimum Levy of SIS for Each Child i'm
the County Taxing Limit in In
dependent District

A number of bills passed the recent
legislature affecting the school laws
of the state. Many of these bills made
technical amendments to the present
laws. Most important among all the
bills that became laws on the sub
ject are house bills Nos. 257 and 375.
The following synopsis of these meas
ures is furnished by the state depart
ment of education:
House Bill 257
1. Neither this bill nor any other
bill takes away the power of school
districts to make special levies The
annual meeting has exactly the same
power in this respect as in the past
two years,-namely, to levy any
amount up to 10 mills for the support
of their schools.
2. The bill provides a new and
higher minimum for the county levy
namely, that the county levy must pro-
vide an amount not less than SIS per
child of school age in the county. The
county commissioners may levy more
than this at their discretion.
3. A good many counties in the
state have been levying more than
this amount. The new law will not
affect these counties in any way.
A. In other counties the new law
will increase the amount of money
raised by the county school levy. This
should enable practically all school
districts in the county to get along
with lower special levy. The atten-
ton of school trustees and taxpayers |
is called particularly to this point.
5. The county school fund will be |
in practically the same |
way as before,-40 per cent in proper
ton to the number of teachers and the |
remainder in proportion to census |
with the exception of small amounts
set aside for rural high schools and |
very poor districts.
House Bill 375
House Bill 375 affects only indie
pendent districts. Under this bill the
trustees of Independent districts still
keep all the powers which they have
had in the past to make levies, and
n addition they may levy up to 10
mills with the approval of the state

He says:
"It is my purpose to support the government

not support that part of the program.

In "The Men of the Mountains" Ar
thur w. Spaulding quotes a touching
little story of one of those isolated
homes among the Appalachian hills
whose occupants seldom hear the voice
of prayer, have not seen a Bible and
could not read it if they had it. A
minister, visiting the home for the
first time, told the little family the
story of the cross. They followed him
with rapt faces, and when he had con-
cluded the mother, leaning toward
him, whispered hoarsely: stranger,
you say all this happened long time
ago?" EYES," he said, "almost 1000
years ago." "And they nailed him to
that thar tree when he hadn't done
nothing to hurt 'em, only jest loved
'em?" 'sYes." She leaned farther
and placed her hand impressively upon
his knee. "Wall, stranger" she said,
the tears standing in her eyes, "let's
hope hit amt so!''
