Y0xr Health
Don't Fret About
Constipation

THE STRAIN AND SPEED of
modern life is principle cause of
most cases of chronic constipation.
The best treatment, according to
the u. S. public health service, is:
Consult your doctor and follow his
advice; set up good health habits;
cut down on worrying and hurrying,
and stop fretting about the condi-
ton.
Normal Bowel Movements
You are not a hopeless victim of
constipation if you miss a day.
There's no truth in the notion that
a daily bowel movement is neces-
sary for good health.
Your bowels may not move at the
same time every day either. Some
peoples do-others' do not. There's
no need to decide that you are con-
stipated-or that you need a laxa-
8 tive-because your bowels do not
move every "a hours.
A movement every day, OF twice
day, may be good bowel function
for one person. For another, it may
be one movement every or days.
In fact, there are people in excellent
health whose bowels move regularly
once in to days. Your bowel
movement rhythm is an individual
characteristic.
Be Wary of Laxatives
Laxatives are not the cure-all for
constipation. They frequently help
in both temporary and habitual con-
stipation-but consult doctor be-
fore you use them. People who
diagnose their own ailments and
constantly take laxatives, often in
crease - rather than cure - their
troubles. You can actually cause
constipation by the cathartic habit
and it is responsible for a good deal
| of disease of the rectum
It May Be Appendicitis
AS for taking a laxative to cure
an acute pain in the abdomen-that
is not only extremely dangerous-it
IAN be fatal A violent bowel action
caused by cathartic is often more
than an inflaned appendix, ready
| to burst, can stand. The appendix

Classmates Welcome Chase

John saunders Chase, the first Negro to be adj
mtted to the University of Texas under the rulings of
the United States Supreme Court handed down last Mon
day. received the glad hand of welcome from members
OF the class in architecture Hugh McMath director of
the School of Architecture introduced Chase to his IA
white classmates and accounts say that each of
them shook hands with him. either before or after the
class session
Il don't attempt to make anything of it" Mr. Nc
Math said. Il did what would be done for any new stu
dent He's just of the boys
And that's how easy it is to make the adjustment
of intelligent individuals of the Negro and white races
when and they are given opportunity to exercise
good sense and calm. The politicians and the rabble
rousers stand in the way of progress and nterracal
goodwill They fan the fires of prejudice and hatred for
their personal fortunes and thus retard the of
the nation and give all America blackeye across the
world.
What has and is happening in Texas is going to hap
pen In all states Of the South including Georgia In
higher education Negroes going to have to be adj
mltted to existing institutions for training because it is
an economic mpOssibility for the South which is al
ready behind the Nation in per capita expenditure on
education to provide two expensive and separate sys-
tenn of schools.
Oklahoma and Texas have begun to effectuate the
decisions Kentucky did wait for an order from the
court In the Fall of 1851 will open its doors to Negroes
the higher education level One by one intelligent
and enlightened white leadership of the South can if
they WILL take steps to put into operation the decisions
gradually and thus avoid the expense and the trouble of
a suit. Ranting politicians who preach hate and hurl
threats doing the most to hasten suits from Negroes
because they know they being denied their Just

"Greatest Thrill
Of Lifetime" Says
Prominent Negro

iaD-The greatest thrill of his life

bishop Patrick A. O'Boyle of Wash
ington.

front and Mr.. Johnson had an OPP
portunity to exchange a few words
with him and give him the letter.

man." said Mr.. Johnson, "and ex-
pressed his pleasure that he was
remembered by small group of
colored Catholics in Washington,

IT is TIME TO SEGREGATE
AGAINST SIN-JESUS DID so
God is watching everything we do
And everything against His will
He sent His son Jesus to die for
our sins
On that Rugged Cross on Cal
vary's Hill.
The death of Jesus Christ was
proof
No other one willing to die
For the sins of a wicked world
you see
And give US a home on high.
All who would believe on him
Shall be his fathers lamb
Those who | say believe it not
Their souls | say shall be damned.
Jesus left a program here on earth
For us to build our hopes in Christ
He said all who would believe on
him
Shall have an eternal life.
Man has program of his own
For Christ sake he will not agree
He puts price on Gods word
And will not preach it free.
Jesus said his word was free
And Paul he said the same
| can't put no price on Gods word
Now who are you going to blame.
The lover of money is the ONE
believe
It's the re 1t of all evil we are told
We can't obey the program of
Christ
What will become of our souls.
The day will come it will not be
night
Every soul shall stand the test
Those who will not obey Gods will
Shall not have eternal rest.
You can't get ready on Judgment
Day
He said be ready at all times
Death will come as a thief and a
robber by night
Poor sinner will you change your
mind.
That blasphemer against the Holy
Ghost
Our churches are full of such kind
Disobeying the program of God
And claiming they are on the main
line.

Ambassador To Russia
From The Los Angeles Tribune


GOLFERS Magazine is on record with the sugges-
ton that Dr. Ralph Bunche be named United States Am
bassador to Russia We're happy to second that nomi-
nation because we believe that DR.. Bunche would be
capable, tactful and effective Ambassador at time
when need those virtues in representative to the
Kremlin.
Golfers goes on to suggest that his appointment
would help take some of the wind out of the Red sails
too in that it would reute Communist propaganda about
race relations in America There's merit in that sug
gestiOn but don't think that the for democracy
can be rested solely on the making of appointments of
outstanding Negroes to important posts.
The real way to refute Red propaganda about race
relations is to strike effective blows at the Jim
Grow system and at the White Supremacy racket that is
still going full blast down below the Mason and Dixon
Line.
Favorable supreme court decisions outlawing Segre-
cation in dining and forbidding the application of
the dscreded separate but equal doctrine in graduate
and professional schools would do mighty lot in stop
ping of Stains loudmouths both here and abroad
Buhche's appointment Ambassador would be mighty
symbol of hope to thousands Of American Negroes
hope that they and their children on the road to
first class citizenship. But the ptfa of Jim Crow on
that road must also be filled in if the hope to become
reality in the foreseeabe future

do not share Clements confidence,
but agree that his candidacy dra-
matizes a rapid change in the
South, a change that is largely
psychological.
Candidate Clement emphasizes,
however, that he is not running
as a "stunt" merely to prove that
it is now possible to do SO in the
South, but in serious effort to
win nomination.
Clement says he is in the pri-
mary not as a Negro, running on
race platform, but as an Amer
lean who wants to represent all
the people of his district, white
and black.
Said Clement:
eve have spent too much time
in the past considering racism and
two little time considering our
real problems and the actual needs
of our section.
81 am trying to appeal to the
sense of justice that | know exists
III the hearts of most white South
ern people. | am not seeking block
votes from my own race, but want
to do my best for the people of
both races.
This is not Clements first ven
ture III politics. Two years ago
he ran for county council in the
Democratic primary. The only Ne
gro among fifteen candidates, he
said he was fifth in the race.
Clement is Al, born and reared
in Charleston. He was graduated
from Johnson G. Smith University
at Charlotte, N. C.
The primary election will be on
July II. Regardless of the out
come with respect to Clement, his
candidacy is regarded as signifi-

letting everything go from bad to
worse. But one-day, seeing how the
weak was powerless, but the real
victims of what was going on, and
looking at what a mess everything
had got into, the LORD had to

down some Angels to SHAKE THE
