Repopulation Problem.

The %reichstag is concerned with
problems which threaten the German
birth rate. 1t is recommended to get
the workers away from the cities,
where they car have small detached
cottages in which light and country
air and nutritious food can be OBJ
tanned. This course would tend to in
crease the number of births. 1t has been
learned that about half Of the mutt
lated soldiers are marrying women old
er thar themselves, a custom which Is
pernicious for r~epopulation. To check
infant mortality more chsldren's elm
les will be established.

AGED NEGRO
 UNEARTHS SECRET
Old Ditch-Digger Finds Cura- tive Power in Mississippi Mud. Cured of Rheumatism While on Job.

In our minds. all of can recall some old negro whose usefulness seems gone and whose steps seem uncertain for their steady progress toward the grave
 Such was the condition of an old man who was hired to dig small irrigating ditch out near the village of Hickory, Miss. His steps were uncertain, his joints swollen and his body was infested with plague of sores
 But on the third day his steps grew quick CT his sores were healing and the gleam in his eye showed that he had again taken 3 new interest in life.
 Right then and there it was learned that the mud in which this negro had been work ing was possessed of some wonderful medi- eina1 virtue.
 Investigation resulted in the development of sul-Ferro Sol, blood remedy of wonder full capacity.
 It so happened that where this ditch was begun, nature had placed combina- ton of Iron Sulphur and Potash--correctly proportioned and correctly combined
 And thus it's ever back to nature
 Sul-Ferro Sol is highly recommended for all troubles arising from an impure blood Rheumatism, Pellagra. Eczema. Tetter, Etc.

Republican Position On
 Negro Question Anomaly
Preaching Down With the Negro in Seventh District and Talking "Upift' and Hinting at Social Equal
 ity' in Other Sections of the Country
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

democrats have been bold enough to ask him if he would be willing for members of his own family to mingle in social equality with negro men. He has always refused to answer that question. but he did not appear indignant that it was asked.
 MT. Madden is trying at the present time, in his belief that the negro is as good as the white man, to secure leg islation making it impossible for any com munity of the United States to arrange for separate accommodation on street cars and Pullmans for negroes and whites. While democrats will manage to defeat this proposed legislation. 1t has considerable support from republican ranks.
 The attitude of the republican party since it sent bayonets into the south to enforce their doctrine of social equality, a condition which necessitated the opera tion of the Ku Klux Klan, is SO well known to southern people that the pres ent tactics of the party in the Seventh district will undoubtedly have no ef- feet. The tendency of the party to give the negro the utmost consideration in the condition growing out of the recent rae. riots in Washington and Chicago. and the party's refusal to support democrats in their effort to suppress the radical revolutionary negro periodicals. the Mes senger and the Crisis, makes it neces- sary. democrats agree. that the repub- lican party be relieved of control of Con- gress in the present emergency.
 Unless even more distressful events are permitted to occur, Washington urges that the people put none but democrats on guard

TOO EASY NOW TO
 AMEND CONSTITUTION

Washington, September 26.-(Special0 A determined effort is underway in the Senate to put an end to what is re- garded as the dangerous habit of amend ing the constitution by favorable action of sufficient number of state legisla- lures.
 Senator Ashurst of Arizona has offered an amendment to the constitution which if adopted would prevent ratification of an amendment save by the people of two. thirds of the states of the union.
 Tn his address supporting his proposed amendment Senator Ashurst spoke of n,e "absurdity'' of ratification by two-thirds of the Legislatures composed of only a few thousand men. In the running de- bate it developed that his proposed res- olution will have considerable strength in the Senate. It's obvious fairness is ap- parentlv most appealing.
 Following the temporary laying aside of the Ashurst proposition. Sem ator Owen of Oklahoma submitted one same direction. He would make it im- possible for Congress to submit a pro- posed amendment to the state iegisia- lures save by a two-thirds majority Of the membership of each house of Con- gress At present. proposed amendments may be submitted bv a two-thirds ma iority of quorum of both houses.
 Senators in their discussion stressed tho Iamentable ease by which under present conditions amendments may be submitted and ratified. The number of men con- stituting a quorum of the houses or Coneress and the houses of the several Legislatures, represents merely hand full it was stated, when the population of the United States. as whole. is con- sidered Statement was made in the Sem ate that leaders of organizations striv- ing to amend the constitution may friahten the membership of Congress and the legislatures into doing their bid- ding. whereas were the people required to pass upon the amendments their task would be infinitely more difficult. with the result that the real desire Of the peo- pie would be ascertained.
 Senator Ashurst admitted that he had not taken this matter up seriously until after the submission of the prohibition and woman's suffraxe amendments. both of which he favored. It was his point, however, that inasmuch as these great controversial subjects had been elini- mated, the Congress should proceed, with out fear, to do what in the interest Of the people and of the government should be done.
 The advocates of recently submitted amendments have displayed poignant timidity when requested to give the peo- pie of the country an opportunity to ex- press themselves. and 1t is Regarded as probable that these forces, together wlth others contemplating making sport with the constitution, will hurl themselves In the pathway of the Ashurst proposition.

The req son for his departure immediately 1oi- lowing his return was the frank an nouncement of Senator Lodge tnat the republicans could not muster sunicient n,in,ber of votes to sustain the Johnson amendment. that which would give .ne Irnited States as great a voting strength in the league assembly as Great Britain Senator Johnson immediately announced that he would "Go cut and get enough votes.' .,p
 The Johnson amendment, incidentally, was yeparded as that one the republicans haa inc hest charce of putting over It's apparent failure has given democrats great hope of preventing any amendment, although even should they be successiui to that point there is indication thae they might not be able to secure W. thirds majority for ratihcation witnou' reservations

broom, excepting the flat-backed sort for clothes and hats. should be hung in such way that the bristles or bnoom straws do not rest on the wall or floor
 Hangers come for brooms-metal clamps that are nailed or screwed to the wall-that allow the broom to hang a broom properly without such a hanger is to run string through hole bored with gimlet an inch or so from the top end of the handle and knot 1t secure ly. and to hang this over peg or nail driven in the wall. Brushes of all sorts and sizes, if they have handles at one end, can be hung in the same way. Brushes with flat backs can be laid on their backs as in this position the bris- ties cannot be injured
 To clean brushes, use warm water in which a little ammonia or borax has been aded. Immerse the brush and move it about until the bristles look clean. Then rinse it thoroughly, first in the warm water. then iu cold weater.
 The way to wash a broom is to dip it in a pailful of hot. soapsuds and water Splash it up and down a few times, un- til 1t looks clean. Then dry it, rather quickly.
 If the edges of brush or broom are ir- regularly worn, trim the bristles or corns even while they are wet.

Washington, September 26-(SpeciaD The republicans, when it suits their purpose, preach "uplift'' and hint at equality respecting the negro in the United States. And, again. when 1t suits their purpose, they use the negro issue, from the adverse viewpoint, to sway the people.
 For instance, in the Seventh district, at the present time, republicans are en- weavoring to wean Alabamians from the democratic fold on the ground of Sem ator Reeds contention that in the league of nations as presently contemplated. there will be more dark inhabitants than white inhabitants Incidentally, there are more dark inhabitants of Mississippi than white inhabitants, but the latter govern and run things as they think wise and proper.
 It is regarded by democrats in Wash ington as not only anomalous but actually incongruous tha1 republicans should be preaching down with the negro in the Seventh Alabama. That preaching, judg- ing from their activity in Washington. would appear hypocritical. Republicans have discharged white boys in both ends of the capitol and substituted negnoes as elevator operators. They have gone fur ther. They have discharged a white woman and substituted a negro man.
 Representative Fess of Ohio, chairman of the republican congressional campaign committee, bitter in his hatred of the south. never able to forget the civil war, has been brought to conclusion, is an ed ncator when in private life, and has ed- uvated negro boys. He has publicly stat ed that one of the proudest moments or his life was when he and his family sat down to dinner with one of the ne- groes he had educated.
 But Mir Fess is not the best republican witness. The ideal spokesman of the re- publican party is Representative Madden of Illinois. So pronounced are his views, so consistently reiterated his opinion. that the negro is as good us the white man, that on more than one occasion
