National Education Congress today
began a campaign to obtain the cleo
ton of negro representatives from

each of these cities negroes are in a
position to force the nomination of
a member of their own race"
Since the close of the Fifty-eighth

the national house of representatives
George White, of North Carolina, be-

when he was asked to show his au-

such purpose the young man was
covered with confusion and hastily
bowed himself out.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Attorney
General Gregory today asked the SUI

the seven large antitrust suits pend

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA.

The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder has

as directed, you need never fear hog
cholera nor any other hog disease.
And the directions are very simple,
just about what you are doing, plus
few cents worth of B. A. Thomas
Hog Powder in the feed twice a
week.
Usually, though, Cholera gets in
before we know it. Then it requires
close attention to each hog-each
hog must be dosed-and if you will
dose them as directed you will save
better than 80 per cent. If you don't
