THE DRIVE FOR LIBERTY

The movement for the Liberty Con-
gross was inaugurated in Boston,
June 13 of last year at session held
in Faneuil Hall, the cradle of liberty,
at a national conference called by the
New England League. A Liberty Con-
ference was started as a national COM
mittee to. arrange for a National
Colored Liberty Congress. Rev. A. c..
Powell of New York is president; Prof.
A. w. Whalley of Boston is national
organizer; w: M. Trotter, executive
secretary. A board of managers was
begun with Robert H. Harrison of
New York as chairman. This board
is to be augmented.
The purpose of the Congress is to
press the just claim of Colored Ameri-
cans to share in the world democracy
for which they are all subject to fight
under the flag and to take positive
measures to secure from the govern
ment guarantees of the abolition of dis
reimbursement and of all caste dis
ordinations.
The proposal to hold a meeting early
this year has been enthusiastically re-
ceived by the thinking men of the
country and the executive officers have
decided to hold the congress at Wash
ington, D.. c., June "a to 49,
This congress of Colored America to
present to the Government it's claim
for share in the world democracy is
a great opportunity for the Colored
people. Every community ought to
send a big delegation. ~

The only discrepancies noticeable to

that when the present restrictions

mentioned among the non-sugarable

cocoa and the law does not forbid

The petition for appointment of a
trustee was presented by counsel for

tors of the Etter estate.
The fund came into Mr.. Etter's
charge by court order more than
twenty years ago, when condemna-
ton proceedings were instituted
against the Mount Airy farm. owned
by the Oyster estate and later taken
over for the use of the State Hos
pital in North Cameron street. I'm

farm and a brick dwelling in South

he should have any. The peculiar
language of the will resulted in the
construction that a life estate only
was intended. When viewers were
appointed to decide damages in 1892,
1898 and 1896, when parts of the
farm were taken over, they directed
the damages be paid into court un-
til it was decided who should re-
ceiye the funds. The court awarded
the larger part of the money for the
farm to n. oyster and the balance,
more than $500, together with 9TH

named trustees for any other pos

FLUSH THE BLOOD
WITH PURE FRUIT
SALTS in SPRING

In winter most men and women
lead hothouse lives.
A tagging appetite. disposition to
pick at this dish and that, rather
than eat square meal, is among the
earli indications that the human
machine needs a thorough cleans
ing. Few people realize this is a
critical point in their health. They
do not know that unless the right
kind of medicine is taken NOW their
whole spring and summer may be
ruined by continued ill health.
The condition of your blood is the
thermometer of your health. Spring
is the time to get rid of the accu-
mulated impurities that gather dur
ing the winter and load the blood
with poisons.
1t is the height of folly to dose
the stomach with dangerous drugs
when the blood is crying aloud for
thorough cleansing. A spoonful of
pure fruit salts in a glass of hot
water, taken regularly on arising in
the morning for just few days
will flush the blood clean of poisons,
open the bowels in a healthful, natu-
railway, and tone the entire system
until every organ is doing its work
and that tired-out, half-sick feeling
becomes a thing of the past.
Just try this test to-day. Go to
Kennedy's Medicine Store or any 9TH
er well stocked drug store, ask for
few ounces of Arcosal Fruit Salts.
start tomorrow morning taking ac-
cording to directions which accom-
pany each package and see how
quickly the system responds, how the
spirits chirk up, the good rich blood
goes pumping through the arteries
and you face the days work with re-
newed ambition and pleasure.
Be sure and ask for Arcosal Fruit
Salts put up in the original package.

Proclamation by Mayor
Whereas, the President of the
United States of America. and the
Governor of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, have issued their
proclamation calling upon the people
of the United States and of the State
of Pennsylvania properly to observe
Friday afternoon, April rs, as Lib
erty Day, and
whereas, the City of Harrisburg
has ever been in the foremost ranks.
not only as a patriotic municipality,
but as O municipality which substan-
TALLY backs it's patriotism, and which
believes in the truth of the old adage
that actions speak louder than
words; therefore, ], Daniel l., Keister,
Mayor of Harrisburg, do call upon
the people of this city to join with
the other millions of true Ameri-
cans in the observance of next Fri
day afternoon as Liberty Day.
Let us devote that afternoon. to
furtherance of the Liberty Loan and
let each one of us consider himself
or herself an agent on behalf of the
Liberty Loan, not only in bringing
the bond proposition to the attention
of others, but in subscribing to bonds
ourselves in the highest possible
am cunts.
/ call upon the patriotic people of
Harrisburg on Friday afternoon to
lay aside their usual tasks-to close
their stores, shops and offices. and
spend Friday afternoon not in seek
ing pleasure, but in hard work, to
the end that Harrisburg will not
only subscribe its full quota of Lib
erty Bonds, but go we'll beyond that
mark.
In days to come let 1t not be said
of us that any of us gave only verbal
support to the thin but. unbroken
line of Americans on the battle front
in France. Let none of us fail in our
duty.
1 call upon the people of Harris
burg, the capital city of Pennsylva-
mia, again to set a glorious example
for the people of this Common
wealth. . (Signed)
