In these strenuous. exactIng times,
many men aud women overwork theii
nerves. They do not take enough
rest. They are not careful when and
what they eat. Soon they get merry.
Gus, irritable, suffer from aches and
pains, are tired all the time, have no
ambition, lose strength and vigor and
then become sleepless, worn out, and
sick. Never take to drink and false
stimulants they are temporary
makeshifts. But do act wisely, and
begin the use OF Cadomene Tablets,
which act as a powerful tonic for
digestion, nutrition and elimination.
They help nature to perform the
functions of the organs Of the body,
and nature will in turn restore
strength, red blood and vigor. Sold

CATHOLIC BISHOPS
INPAST0RALLETTER
Say Rejection of Christ's
Principles Caused ALI
Worlds Woes.

BALTIMORE, Feb. %. -Yesterday
there was read from every Catholic
pulpit IN America the first pastoral
letter, signed by Cardinal Gibbons
but coming from all the Archbishops
and Bishops of this country, issued
for thirty-tiye years.
The desire OF the Archbishops and
Bishops Is to encourage higher educa-
ton. in order to preserve the good re.
suits of the pupils study in the ele-
mentary schools With view to en-
larging the opportunities for higher
education, the Holy See, at the in
stance Of the hierarchy, established
the Catholic University as centre
for the schools and colleges.
The letter follows:
we went into the war and ended
II. In any material sense we had
nothing 10 gain. We fought to make
the world a. better place for all man
Kind. In proclaiming our purpose we
held up our country and its institu
lions as the hope OF humanity. The
pledges we gave must be redeemed.
AS our Holy Father, Pope Benedict
XIV, declares, the American people
retaining firm hold on the princi-
pies of reasonable liberty and OF
Christian civilization. are destined to
have the chief role in the restoration
OF peace and order on the basis OF
those same principles, when the ylo:=-

splendid things which the union of
al our people accomplished. 1t IS
importing into our country the very
evils which brought disaster on Eu-
rope. If America is to be preserved.
for its own sake and for the sake OF
humanity, remedy must be found
for our present situation.
This is not a time for makeshifts:.
The facts are before us plainly and
roughly. They cannot be set asidt
with mere expedients or formalities
that smooth the surface OF things,
but leave. the virus beneath. Rightly
or wrongly, the movements that are
shaking the foundation Of order come

order is to rest on the willingness Of
the people and their free cooperation,
their souls must be reached. They
must be trained to think rightly and
to do as they think.
LET us not deceive ourselves in
this matter. Ignorance is an evil; as
such 1t must be removed. But 1t is
not the only evil. What we have
chiefly to fear is educated intelligence

RAISED
WITH XMAS SEALS
This Year the Design Will
Feature the Double
Barred Cross.

Christmas seals TO be sold next
December will feature the double
barred cross. the emblem of the ma
tiopal campaign against tuberculosis,
instead OF the American Red Cross.
In making this announcement the
National tuberculosis Association
states that the American Red Cross
has formally withdrawn from partici-
patton in the Red Cross Seal Sale.
and the tuberculosis movement and
that hereafter the annual education
al and financial Christmas campaign
will be with distinctiyely tubercu-
losis seal.
The Red Cross seal, which has been
the means OF support OF the voluntary
agencies engaged in the fight against
tuberculosis throughout the United
States for ever eleven years, has
raised over $10,000,00O for this cause.
In disseminating its cooperative re-
lationship with the American Red
Cross, DR.. Livingston Farrand the
Chairman OF the Central Committe,
of the Red Cross, states that the cir
cumstances make 1t inadvfsable &c
continue the use OF the name anG
symbol of the Red Cross, but tina
the tuberculosis seal to be put GU
next Christmas time by the Nationa
Tuberculosis Association will be rec.
ognized by the American Red Cros
as the lineal descendant of the Rel
Cross seal.
DR.. Charles j. Hatfield, Manasin
Director of the National TubercuIosi
Association, announces that the sal.
OF seals at the recent holiday will
bring in gross return of somewhat
over s4,100,000, according to present
reports, thereby assuring much larg
er war against tuberculosis during the
coming year than has been displayed
in previous years.

erence TO God. 1t was thought that
the ADVANCE OF civilization, the prog.
ress Of science and the growth Of
commerce had made the peace OF the
world secure, Religion was excluded
in great measure from public life and
entirely from the council OF nations.
1t was a vaBt experiment, conducted
with all the resources Of power and
skill. And now see its results.
I'VE cannot afford to repeat the
experiment. II We are to build anew
W, must build on a sure foundation,
not on quicksand. The stone which
the builders OF the modern world re-
jected must become again the head
Of the corner. In the teaching and
example OF Jesus Christ mankind must
learn the way OF salvation. There
is no other.
There are many. indeed, who, adj
mire the Christian ideal and yet claim
that Christianity should be modified
to suit the demands of our age. But
as these demands are countless. and
as some OF them are openly at var
lance with the spirit OF Christ, moth
ing will be gained by yielding to
them. Too much, In fact, has already
been lost in these vain attempts to
sstisfy the world with a diluted Chris
tianity In the final issue, not only
particular decertines have been set
aside, but the central truth, namely
that Christ is the Incarnate God, has
been questioned or denied. Those
who regard Him simply as the per.
feet man. feel justified in interpret
ing His doctrines according to their
particular liking. They may continue
to speak OF their version as Chris
tianity. and they may find st made
quate in the present condition OF the
world. But this is no warrant for
saying that Christianity has ceased
to be power for truth and righteous
ness.
Christianity requires that we ac-
cept two fundamental principles as
the basis of our human relations. These
are the principles of justice and char
ity. The application OF these in priv.
ate and public life is the first step
toward the restoration of peace and
order.
Justice obliges us to give every
man his due, Just because be is man
1t prescribea respect for tie rights Of
the individual, of society and of the
State. 1t binds us TO the keeping OF
agreements and to the observance OF
law. 1t forbids SANDER either of a
person, of community or of a whole
body, such as the church or the ma.
ton. 1t is intolerance of fraud and
dishonesty by whomsoever commit
ted, whether in private transactions
or in dealing with the commonwealth

law, irrespective OF class. station OIL

After an expense of SIS, 900 and
expert personal supervision, Mr.. Isa-

and only the gondolas are missing.
The dancers flirting here and there
take the place of the stately gondolas.
White wax statuary, heavy tape

make the place dream garden.
Heavy Brussels carpets line the floors

George, formerly of Marshall's in
New York is floor manager and
Thompkin's snappy Jazz Orchestra

Constructive Criticism of Men and Measures In The Hope Of CORRECTING
Errors and Eufs.

The Black People in America are
treated with utmost reconsideration
and criminal disregard by The lying
avaricious Uncle Toms who want TO
play big before white people. 4 lying
idiotic individual who is a public
nuisance and private disgrace went
down recently and represented to the
Editor OF the Chicago Journal that
10000 Black men in Chicago were
willing to accept a ten per cent reduc-
ton in wages rather than be cut off.
This is a malicious lie. The public
pest further represented that he was
President of some american Unity
Laboring Association" and that over
100000 Black men belonged to it. 1t
puzzles us why the learned editors OF
the Journal would fall for that bunk.
1t is certainly preposterous and alb
surd to the average prudent citizen
in Chicago. 1t would be another case
of Tar and Feathers in less civilized
community.
IF the Editors OF the papers pub
lshed in the interest of black people
in America would abolish the use OF
the term Our Group" during the
year of 1921; with prophetic vision,
we will state that the fourth estate >
will win greater prestige in their re-
spective communities and will GER
tainly develop in the minds OF their
readers frmcr race psychology.

President Wilson has been given
the Nobel Peace Prize. His contri-
buttons to the peace OF the World
have failed to create any peace. The
mention OF his name in America at
the present time creates little or no
applause and maybe his retirement
from the active stage OF diplomatic
warfare was the cause OF the Nobel
Peace Offering. We hope it will for
ever silence his academic ramblings
on the question of Democracy.
