Why do so many, many babies of to-
day escape all the little fretful spells
and infantile ailments that used to
worry mothers through the day, and
keep them up half the night?
If you don't know the answer. you
haven't discovered pure, harmless Cas-
toria. 1t is sweet to the taste, and
sweet in the little stomach. And it's
gentle influence seems felt all through
the tiny system. Not even distaste-
full dose Of castor oil does so much
good.
Fletcher's Castoria is purely vege-
table, so you may give it freely, at
first sign of collie; or constipation; or
diarrhea. Or those many times when
you just don't know what is the mat
ter. For real sickness, call the doc
tor, always. At other times, few
drops of Fletcher's Castoria.
The doctor often tells you to do just
that; and always says Fletcher's.
Other preparations may be just as
pure, just as free from dangerous
drugs, but why experiment? Besides,
the book on care and feeding of babies
that comes with Fletcher's Castoria Is
worth its weight in gold!

with the sessions of the Institute of
Public Affairs at the University of Vir-f
ginia, Charlottesville, recently. These
recommendations were to celebrate
April 13 each year as JeffersOn's BIRTH
day, to assure the preservation Of
Monticello, the home of Jefferson, to
establish an appropriate shrine in
Washington where may be preserved
records and relics connected with the
adoption of the Declaration of Amer
lean Independence and to continue the
nonpartisan work of patriotic educa-
ton conducted by the Thomas Jeffer-
son Memorial foundation.
Thus the name of Thomas Jefferson,
author of the Declaration of Independ-,
ence and third President of the
United States, would be immortalized
along with that of Washington and
Lincoln as the only Presidents whose
birthdays are national holidays and
Monticello would take its place with
Mount Vernon and the house in
Springfield, Ill.,, as patriotic shrine.
Although Jefferson is regarded as the
"Patron saint" of one of the two
major political parties and the term
"JeffersOnian democracy" is part of
our current speech, this proposal to
honor him should have the support of
,, all Americans because it is strictly
nonpartisan. The officers of the COM
mission, appointed under an act Of
congress, are: President Coolidge;
Vice President Dawes; Nicholas Long
worth, speaker of the house; George
p. Mclean (R.), senator from Con-
necticut; Joseph T. Robinson CD, SEN
ator from Arkansas; Simeon d. Fess
R), senator from Ohio; Royal S.

York; Finis ]. Garrett O.), represent

Through the work of the Thomas

cello is being gradually restored, to its
original condition and visitors there
find it easy to believe that they are
living in the past of more than cen
fury ago. One aid especially in estab-
fishing that atmosphere is the large
number of Jefferson relics which have
been presented to the foundation with
in the last few months and which will
be on exhibition at Monticello hence

He refused to obey orders given by the
holdup men. or showing fight, he was
shot. He died later. The crime was
such as all good, law-abiding citizens,
AGENCIES and institutions would con-
denim. And it was one OF series OF
continuous bold crimes committed by
bandits, holdup men, burglars ETC., IN
the community. There is little differ
ence 80 on one score nm Negro holdup
men were involved.
The police department announced a
roundup Of all Negroes in the streets
and many persons were arrested unnec-
essarily. The daily press, in blatant
terms, proclaimed BLACK bandits rob
and shoot grocery man etc. Editorials
appeared condemning black bandits.
The daily press invokes the mind OF
many readers against Negro people in
such matters. And the bad part is a
large section Of the general public new
er gets any other view Of Negro life and
activity.
The real or better side of Negro lite
and activity comes in for little or nc
display in the columns of the daily
press. The outstanding Negro business
man or professional man or educator
engaged i'll commendable endeavors, are
mentioned i'll d few lines on the back
pages of the daily journals. But even
an alleged black murderer, bandit, etc.

The press is a Frankenstein monster,
