CONGRESS Nashville, Tenn., June 13.—Inspired by such an excellent rendition of the Sunday School Congress song, "Hail the Baptist Congress" by the magnificent chorus, hundreds of Sunday school workers were present and participated in the opening of the Twelfth annual session of the Sunday School Congress, that had its official opening at 11:30 today at Mt. Olive Baptist church. More than twenty-four states were represented when the Sunday School Congress secretary made up his roll in the afternoon. Front Line Sunday School Building, Child Evangelism, Greater Sunday School Missionary Activities, with better Teacher Training forces are some of the topics that will come prominently before the present session. "We are loyal to the Stars and Stripes. We mean to stand by the Constitution and the Flag, and at the same time carry the banner of King Emanuel into every dark corner of this great country," declared Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of this movement, before the magnificent audience, after he had been introduced and read the list of subjects, and made the assignments for the departmental meetings. Fourteen different departments are being operated in connection with the Congress. These departmental meetings are held at the various churches. The general sessions will all be held at Mt. Olive Baptist church. The Congress proper will not close until next Monday. This is Nashville's third time to entertain the Sunday School Congress forces of the United States. The Congress has met at various cities. It is learned from the secretary, that in 1906, they were entertained at Nashville, in 1907 at New Oreans, 1908 at Jacksonville, Fla., 1909 at Nashville, 1910 at Atlanta, 1911 at Meridian, 1912 at Tuskegee Institute, 1913 Muskogee, 1914 at Beaumont, 1915 at Birmingham, 1916 at Vicksburg. It is not known just where the session will be held next year, although the secretary announces that there have come already invitations from San Francisco, St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbus, Ohio, Chicago, Atlantic City, Philadelphia and Washington. The committee to select the next place of the meeting will make its report after the adjournment of the Congress. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE Pastor D. A. Holmes having attended and preached at the District Convention in Lawrence and not having returned on the Sabbath, Elder Webb of Quindaro preached at 11 A. M. from Gal. 6:5: We should bear the burdens of the weak, and unless we do, our religion is vain. Elder Penn, of Okla., who is quite intelligent, and a member of the Temple, acted as host and introduced and complimented the sermon. At 7:45 p. m. he preached again. The ordinary collection was quite large. Next Sunday is a rally which will be led by ten young ladies. Everyone is invited to help them. In the afternoon in this favorite auditorium the Knights of Tabor and Tabernacles and Tents will have their annual sermon preached by a noted minister. As the order is very large over 1,000 persons will be in attendance. Then the Metropolitan rally will be continued at night. Come to this Temple often and enjoy the serenity and beauties of God's blessings and hear Rev. Holmes, the popular pastor, preach.

GREET PERSHING WITH CHEERS AND TEARS GREET PERSHING WITH CHEERS AND TEARS The Most Important Movement in American History, the General Tells Frenzied Thousands of French People Who Turn Out to Receive Him Boulogne, France, June 13—Cheering thousands, moved to tears, welcomed to French soil today the commander-in-chief of the army which America is to send to join France in making the world safe for democracy. The tall, soldierly-appearing figure of Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing, garbed in the business like khaki of the American army, was acclaimed as France has seldom acclaimed a foreigner in her history. Frenzied crowds packed the streets to shout heir joy and wave the tri-color of France with the same three colors of the Star Spangled Banner. Important moments in American history," he said. "Our arrival on French soil, constituting, as we do the advance guard of an American army, makes us realize to the fullest the importance of America's participation. "Our reception has moved us most deeply. I can only reaffirm that America has entered the war with the intention of performing her full share however great or small the future will dictate. Our allies can depend upon that absolutely." French government officials formally welcomed Pershing and his staff in Pershing arrived at 9:40 o'clock this morning. He had made a quick and an uneventful trip over from England. France has been waiting eagerly for him to step on her soil. The tremendous reception accorded here to the commander of the American army will be but a marker to that which Paris is preparing for 5 o'clock this afternoon when Pershing and his staff arrive at the Gare du Nord. Pershing was deeply moved by the greeting he received.

The 32nd annual commencement of Lincoln High school at Convention hall was very fine indeed. Misses M. Brown, D. Wells and C. Smith rendered their orations in a pleasing manner. Albert Bond and E. Johnson with his rebuilt auto did well. The Afro-American Prayer chorus music by N. C. Smith with Miss Gladys Jones, soloist, was beautiful. The duet from Ll Trovatore by Verdi, was excellent. The saxaphone and clarinet solos were fine and the Hallelujah chorus from the Messiah was a very good rendition for so small a chorus. Rev. Williams of Denver, of the class of '92 made the address and Mr. Jas. Nugent of the Board of Education presented the diplomas. The class of 1917 had 51 graduates, and Cecelia E. Smith an orphan, was the honor student and received most of the prizes amounting to about $100. Prof. Lee, Major N. C. Smith and all other teachers deserve credit for their good work. The 8,000 auditors were loud in their praise of the fine program and the neat white costumes of the girls with their lovely large arm bouquets. Mrs. L. Eskridge and Mrs. D. A. Holmes attended the Baptist district convention at Lawrence last week. The former was a delegate from the B. Y. P. U. and the latter was delegate from the Sunday school.

"Our reception has moved us most deeply. I can only reaffirm that America has entered the war with the intention of performing her full share, however great or small the future will dictate. Our allies can depend upon that absolutely." French government officials formally welcomed Pershing and his staff in the name of the nation and the Americans were taken by special train to Paris. British soldiers and marines lined up along the quays rendered military honors as the vessel flying the Stars and Stripes, preceded by destroyers and accompanied by hydroplanes and dirigible balloons, steamed up the channel. Military bands played the "Star Spangled Banner" and the "Marsellaise" as General Pelletier and his party boarded the boat to welcome General Pershing.

Smith of Chanute, presiding elder, held his third quarterly meeting last Sunday, and his quarterly conference Monday evening. The church was filled Sunday morning to its capacity to hear Dr. Smith preach one of the strongest sermons he ever delivered from this pulpit. Dr. Wells, pastor of Bethel church, Kansas City, Mo., delivered the communion sermon at 3 p. m., which touched the hearts of his large and appreciative audience. There were several visiting ministers from both cities present and a large number of visiting friends. The new circular oak pews add much to the church, both in cofort and beauty. The quarterly conference was held Monday evening, at which time the presiding elder heard reports from all departments of the church, and to the credit of the church and its new pastor, Dr. Griffin, the most fattering reports were heard from many quarters. Every department showed a marked increase, and while this is an important factor in any organization, the spiritual side was none the less along Christian activity in saving humanity. The district conference, Sabbath school convention and Allen Christian Endeavor League will open next Monday in Ft. Scott for a four days' session and this church will be represented there by a dozen or more from these three organizations. They will leave Monday morning in a body for that place. The choir furnished excellent music all day. Presiding Elder Smith delivered the message of the evening service to an audience of good hearers. Mrs. Frances Grant-Myers who has been very sick at her home, 1962 N. Fourth street, is a little better. NO.42 STRONG ORGANIZATION AMONG NECROES IT IS TO THEM WHAT THE COMMERCIAL CLUB IS TO KANSAS CITY, MO., AND THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS TO KANSAS MORE THAN EITHER OF THE ABOVE NAMED. The Civic League of Negroes for the state of Kansas has perfected its organization with Rev. E. A. Holmes president, Dr. I. H. Anthony secretary and Rev. T. J. Griffin treasurer. They have held several interesting meetings in their cosy quarters in the rear of the Home Drug company's store, where they have a suitable room provided with conveniences. Their roster is open for additional members and much good is hoped for and expected from the work of this league. We said it was to our people what certain public organizations in the two cities are to other races, in truth, it is, and will be more than either; for the reason, that by becoming a member of the league each member binds himself by his sacred honor, to the material benefit of his fellow man, not only morally and socially, but in material ways and manners as well. They will not be opposed to one of the Race reaping benefit from the result of each other's action; but on the contrary, are leagued together for the purpose of benefiting each other, in business, in the professions, and in every possible manner as Christian gentlemen. They will look after the political interest of the race also, as occasion may require, and above all, will lend their effort to the obtaining, and maintaining of Civil Rights, and to the maintaining of One standard of citizenship for all inhabitants of the city. All unnecessary frills of formality are dispensed with in the league, and there is but one crime that may be committed by a member against it; which is designated: "Conduct unbecoming to a member, and inconsistent with good standing in the league." Instead of wasting time over Rules of Order, they are governed by the Code of Common Sense. Among the members of the league are ministers of most of our churches, together with many other good and responsible men. All who have the real interest of Negroes at heart are cordially invited to join, and we sincerely hope the membership will increase as time goes on. U-BOAT ACTIVITIES ARE INGREASING U-BOAT ACTIVITIES ARE INGREASING London, June 14.—The destruction of merchant ships by German submarines is on the increase. The statement was made today by the parliamentary correspondent for the Chronicle. The lull the last few weeks, it is believed, is due to the fact the majority of the U-boats were in German ports being repaired. Mr. Ed Ransom, the son of Rev. J. R. Ransom, ex-pastor of First A. M. E. church, has been confined to Douglass hospital for some days for treatment. Mr. Ransom is one of the state's most efficient officers at the Lansing state prison. Dr. D. A. Holmes had a big day last Sunday at Lexington, Mo. The doctor preached four sermons and delivered two addresses. The friends of Mrs. Mattie Akers were glad to see her able to be out to church last Sunday. Mrs. Maud Jarrett of Freeman avenue is visiting Prof. and Mrs. J. M. Marquess at Langston, Okla. Mrs. Steward, 720 Oakland, is on the sick list. "Entered as second-class matter August 29, 1914, at the post office at Kansas City, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879."

The editor called one day this week to see Mr. J. W. Jones, who has been quite ill at his home, 441 State avenue, for more than two weeks and we were very much gratified to find Bro. Jones much improved since a week ago. We found him getting back to that happy, jolly make-up of old and he stated he was feeling fine, aside from the lack of his normal strength of his right side, but it was coming gradually. Mr. Jones is one of our old and leading undertakers. A BY-STANDER. As a by-stander listening to a couple of old colored mothers one day this week discussing the kidnapping and death of the Keet baby one of the sainted old mothers said with tears in her eyes. "Yes, chile, my heart goes out for that mother. I no's how she feels, for I have had the experience down in Louisiana about 1855 or '56 when de white folks took my two boys and baby girl from me and de Lawd only no's where dey are as I never saw them any more, but hope to be reunited in de glory land. Oh, I feels sorry for dat poor mother, although she nos where her chile is, but I does not no's where any of mine is." By this time the tears had coursed their way through the furrows of time, until they were dropping to the ground. GERMANS' BOMBS FOR PERSHING London, June 14.—That the Germans counted upon the possibility of "getting" Gen. John J. Pershing, the American commander, in their devastating air attack yesterday, was an opinion put forth here today. General Pershing secretly had gone to France Tuesday night, but it was considered likely that the Germans knew nothig of this. American army medical officers who are still in London, got their first glimpse of warfare when they visited the East end and other districts where 97 persons were killed and 439 wounded by the German bpmbs. A wave of wrath has swept the British Isles over the large number of women and children killed and wounded and demands for reprisals have been renewed.

As soon as the explosions and counter bombardment were heard, the people crowded the streets, verandas, windows and roofs and showed only contempt for the methods of the Germans, who succeeded only in malming and killing helpless women and children and some men, without doing anything of military advantage."

"If they fall, Germany is saved and the world at peace," the President added. "If they succeed, America will fall within the menace. We and all the world must remain armed, in that event, as they will remain, and be ready for the next move they will make against humanity." The address set forth in clear and colorful words the aim and object of the present war. It sounded a note of warning against German peace plots. Suggestions along that line are merely "sinister intrigue" and the military master of Germany," Wilson declared, "wishes to close his bargain before it is too late.

Opinions of Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City; Dr. Howard James; Late of the Manhattan State Hospital of New York, and formerly Assistant Physician Brooklyn State Hospital, and Wm. R. Kerr, Former Health Commissioner, City of Chicago. NEW YORK, N. Y.—Since the remarkable discovery of organic iron, Nurated Iron or "Fen Nuzate" as the French call it has taken the country by storm. It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually are taking it in this country alone. Most astonishing results are reported from its use by both physicians and laymen. So much so that doctors predict that we shall soon have a new age of far more beautiful, rosy-cheeked women and vigorous iron men. Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author, when interviewed on this subject, said: "There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic men and women is pale; the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone; the brain fags and the memory fails and often they become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women the roses go from their cheeks. "In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, taploca, sago, farina, degerminated cornmeal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked, are responsible for another grave iron loss. "Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt." "Former Health Commissioner, Wm. R. Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says: 'I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and experienced its health-giving, strength-building effect, and in the interest of public welfare, I feel it my duty to make known the results of its use. I am well past three score years and want to say that I believe my own great physical activity is largely due today to my personal use of Nuxated Iron. From my own experience with Nuxated Iron, I feel it is such a valuable remedy that it ought to be used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician in this country." Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who has studied both in this country and in great European medical institutions, said: "As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders." "Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact a young man he really was, notwithstanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron—Nuxated Iron had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health; at 46 he was careworn and nearly all in. At now 50 after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue.

Guard Your Children Against Bowel Trouble Many children at an early age become constipated, and frequently serious consequences result. Not being able to realize his own condition, a child's bowels should be constantly watched, and a gentle laxative given when necessary. Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are especially well adapted to women and children. The Sisters of Christian Charity, 531 Charles St., Luzerne, Pa., who attend many cases of sickness say of them: "Some time ago we began using Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets and find that we like them very much. Their action is excellent and we are grateful for having been made acquainted with them. We have had good results in every case and the Sisters are very much pleased." The form and flavor of any medicine is very important, no matter who is to take it. The taste and appearance are especially important when children are concerned. All parents know how hard it is to give the average child "medicine," even though the taste is partially disguised. In using Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets, however, this difficulty is overcome. The shape of the tablets, their appearance and candy-like taste at once appeal to any child, with the result that they are taken without objection. The rich chocolate flavor and absence of other taste, make Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets the ideal remedy for children. If the first box fails to benefit, the price is returned. Ask your druggist.

If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next, take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxed iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were alling the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. Dr. Schuyler G. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital New York City, said: "I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication, as I ordinarily do not believe in it. But in the case of Nuxated Iron I feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention it. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy."

A patient of mine remarked to me (after having been on a six weeks' course of it): 'SAY, DOCTOR, THAT THERE STUFF IS LIKE MAGIC.' Previous to using Nuxated Iron I had been prescribing the various mineral salts of iron for years, only to meet complaints of discolored teeth, disturbed digestion, tied-up, hardened secretions, etc., when I came across Nuxated Iron, an elegant ingenious preparation containing organic iron, which has no destructive action on the teeth—no corrosive effect on the stomach, and which is readily assimilated into the blood and quickly makes its presence felt in increased vigor, snap and staying power. It enriches the blood, brings roses to the cheeks' of women and is an unfailing source of renewed vitality. endurance and power to men who burn up too rapidly their nervous energy in the strenuous strain of the great business competition of the day." NOTE: Nuxidate Iron, which is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one who is known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely available in the United States and America. Unlike the older ironance iron product, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the gums on the contract. It is more effective than iron in all forms for nervous, run-down conditions. The manufacturers have such great confidence in nuxidate Iron, that they offer to take any man or woman under 80 who lacks iron, and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four week time, provided they have no serious organic troubles. They may take any man or woman under 80 who lacks iron, and increase their strength and endurance in ten days time. It is dispensed on that satty by all good druggists. Bell Phone 180 Grand CIGARETS AND MAKINS BARRED FROM CITY CIGARETS AND MAKINS BARRED FROM CITY NEW CITY ORDINANCE AS DRASTIC AS THE BONE DRY LIQUOR LAW The new anti-cigarette ordinance, passed by the city commissioners yesterday, makes it a misdemeanor for a person to either sell or give away cigarets or the "makins'," or to advertise them, in Kansas City, Kas. It is even as drastic in its provisions as the prohibitory and "bone dry" liquor laws of the state and is intended to put an end to the smoking of cigarets by men or by boys. Besides it forbids the selling or the giving away, not only of cigarets, but cigars and tobacco in any form, to minors. The ordinance authorizes the arrest of all violators. It clothes public officers with authority to search any store or premises where there is a suspicion that the forbidden cigarets and papers are kept. The ordinance was framed and passed after the Boys Wyandotte club sent a delegation to the city hall to call attention to the new state law. TWISTER SWEEPS 2 MISSOURI COUNTIES TWISTER SWEEPS 2 MISSOURI COUNTIES TWO DEAD AND MANY INJURED IN MERCER AND PUTNAM. Chillicothe, Mo., June 13.—Five lives were lost in a tornado which swetp through Mercer and Putnam counties. Many persons are believed to have been injured and much property damage suffered. Trenton, Mo., June 13.—Two persons are known to have been killed last night in a tornado which struck Princeton, county seat of Mercer county. They were Miss Edith Lang, 17 years old, who was struck by a Ford car which was being blown along a road, and the 3-months-old child of a family named Snyder. The baby was killed when the family's home was destroyed. NEW YORK GHEERS NEW NAVY BOYS New York, June 14.—All of Manhattan is giving a most enthusiastic send off to the young men who are leaving the recruiting stations here for the training school at Newport, R. I. During the past week three contingents, one of 250 men, one of more than a hundred and another on Saturday of 125. All are fine types of Young America. On the days of their departure each detachment was given a ride through the city in automobiles supplied by the mayor's committee on defense, after which they were assembled on the U. S. S. Recruit, the great wooden battleship which has been constructed in Union Square. Here there have been exercises and speeches by representatives of both the Roman Catholic and Protestant Episcopal churches and prominent citizenns. While these meetings are in progress both men of the navy and the Recruit have conducted intimate meetings in the crowd about the ship, getting many new recruits. It was noticeable that each time a new recruit went aboard he was cheered by the crowd. The ship is not only proving a fine stimulus to recruiting but has become one of the principal points of interest for sightseers in New York. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas.

L. F. BRADLEY, Attorney for the Pliff. (First published June 15, 1917.) Says Phosphates Make Beautiful Women and Strong, Healthy, Vigorous, Robust Men Physicians all over the world are prescribing phosphates to build up run down enemic conditions and those who have treated their patients with Argo-Phosphate are changing thin, enemic women with toneless tissues, flabby flesh, into the most beautiful rosy cheeked and plump round formed women imaginable. Atlanta, Ga. Dr. Jacobson said in a recent interview that 90 per cent of enemia comes from nervous breakdown which can only be corrected by supplying the necessary phosphates to the nervous system that is lacking in the food you eat, and this can be quickly supplied by taking one or two 5-grain Argo-Phosphate tablets after each meal, and at bed time. It will in many cases make a pale scrawny face the picture of health in a few days, I have seen women that I expected would have to be kept under treatment for months restored to perfect health in one or two weeks time. SPECIAL NOTICE. The Argo-Phosphate recommended by Dr. F. H. Jacobson contains phosphates such as are prescribed by leading physicians throughout the world, and it will be found the most effective form for treating patients with Nervous Dyspepsia, Stomach troubles, Brain Fag, and Nervous Prostration. It will renew youthful vim and vigor, and build up the whole body. If your druggist will not supply you with Argo-Phosphate, send $1.00 for two weeks treatment, to Argo Laboratories, 10 Forsyth St., Atlanta, Ga. And watch it grow, by using the great sanitary hair dressing It first takes out dandruff and cures itching, tetter and ringworm. You can then see the hair take on a rich youthful appearance and begin to grow. It stops the hair from falling out, breaking off or splitting at the ends. It makes coarse, stubborn, kinky hair soft and long and easy to manage. Its perfume is charming and never falls to please It's fine everybody's using it.

Eternal, All-wise and Just God, Thou, who are happy in heaven without the praise of men or angels; look down upon us and in mercy grant—” Another thing I thought of was tha very excellent man who lived long long ago, called Christ. I thought o! how he prayed and acted while here His prayer was a ‘simple plair thing, but Oh, is was so powerful and full of common sense, and appll cation to the conditions and circum stances of the times. - I am sure he knew as much about the qualities and power of God, as we do. But how different were his act and conduct, and his prayer. He did not continually try to cajole and flatter his father, by high-sounding terms. He did not subvert everything in the world to the idea of his getting up there where his father was. He was not always talking about, “In that gittingup mornin’ bye and bye, Ob, in that gittin-up mornin’, bye and bye. I’m gwyn-ter rise wid healin in my wings—byean-bye,” etc., etc. The most he ever said along that line, was before they apprehended him in that garden, ‘Twas this, “Yet a little while, and I go Ray father.” But oh, listen! The things that he said and did too, and among men, for their welfare, during the few years, he was active among them were in: deed worth remembering. In fact, the thing said and done by him, constitute all that is in the world today, that is worth knowing and do ing. O! He was a great soul, no foolish: ness, no lieing, no makeshifts, and nc display, just plain common sense. ‘Think of some the statements of his prayer, “Give to us daily our portion of bread, and establish thy Kingdom here among men.” And his method of reasoning was so simple, plain and powerful, and so different from the way we reason now. One of his fayorite sayings was: “He who says he loves me, and my father, and then mistreats his Broth- er (even in Black) is a Liar, and the truth is not in him.” By his treatment of Ananias, he showed what he thought of the Liar, the Falsifier, and Double-dealer. Now then, let’s stop lieing and be shonest, and respect each other. Let’s get right down to brass tacks —and stop taking our matters of busi- ness, trades and professions to those who we know have nothing but pre- judice and hate for you—for no other Teason, that you do not want to see one of your own kind do well. That is not the way Christ taught. He said; “Be honest with, and do your good deeds to, and with your fellow man.” Catch the idea? He lived among the common poor, always teaching and preaching a bet- ter union and brotherly practice among them, in substance, he said, “You my children, get 1ogether, feel each other care, use your force and power to help, and build up each ether.” And when he prayed, he said, “Fath- er, let thy kingdom come, on earth to these poor, among whom I have walk- ed and worked, let the good, thou hast in store come to them.” Let's pray like he did. Lets act like he did. Let’s reason like he did. Let’s do that which we know is RIGHT. Do everything we can to help each otaer, materially, here where we live. Let's increase the number in the league and meet and talk about these matters—and others—among them— TRUANT OFICER—and other mat- tres of importance to us. “Yet a little while, and I'll see you again.” is guaranteed for wa one bottle to bene fit any case of Pel Jagra, Rheumatism, Scrofula, Syphilis Eczema or any blood, liver or kidney disease, or your dollar returned then Why suffer or pay big bills?
