Migration Changing North's Educational Policy Baby Week May 5-11 VOLUME XVII. NO.29 Bill To Provide Separate Schools For Races In Pennsylvania Passes Senate Without Dissenting Vote—Action Is Outcome Of Migration Movement—Northern States Copy Southern Laws As Exodus Goes On. Without a dissenting vote the higher branch of the legislature of the State of Pennsylvania last week passed a bill providing for the separation of the races in the public schools of that State. At this writing the bill had not come before the lower branch of the legislature but its passage is believed by those in touch with the situation to be only a matter of a few days. A Result Of Migration. The passage of this bill, says the Christian Recorder, published at Philadelphia, is the outcome of sentiment aroused by the exodus of Southern Negroes began. It is estimated that approximately fifty thousand Southern Negroes have been added to Philadelphia's Negro population as a result of the migration movement, and fearing racial complications it is said that the movement for separate schools originated in Philadelphia. IT ALSO SHOWS THAT THE PROMISES MADE BY LABOR AGENTS OF BETTER EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AND BETTER SOCIAL CONDITIONS AT THE NORTH ARE GROUNDLESS, IN AS MUCH AS THE NORTH IS PROCEEDING TO COPY SOUTHERN LAWS MADE FOR THE NEGRO, everywhere that the race appears in large numbers. This has been done recently in several Northern cities largely affected by the migration movement, by the agitation of segregation ordinances and separate schools. Where It Is Admitted That The Labor Agents' Promised Fall Down. "Thousands of our people," says the Christian Recorder, "are fleeing to this State to educate their children. This bill is to keep them from getting the freest education, to force them to submit to the very conditions from which they flee." This brings us to the fundamental question which was well stated recently by the Pittsburgh Courier in the following words: "As to his new found privileges, we assert that he who comes to Pittsburgh looking for 'new privileges' will find himself the most mistaken man living. Even when the black man reaches Pittsburgh he will find that he is still in the United States, and he will here encounter prejudice, hatred and scorn not unlike that he seeks to escape by leaving Alabama." We publish these facts and opinions coming directly from the North for the information of our people, so many of whom are being misled into going North by golden promises of better wages, larger privileges, better living conditions, etc. We feel that it is our duty to discourage the wholesale emigration of our people and we know of no better way of doing this than to publish the true facts as they appear. Conditions As They Exist Here. Industrial conditions in Virginia are better, upon the whole, than they are in States further South. This is due perhaps, to the fact that Virginia has a great system of manufactories as well as a great agricultural system. And to these resources this section of the State is favored by the addition of great shipping and transportation facilities, unsurpassed by any State in the country. Work Plentiful Here At Good Wages. At the present time there is more work of the unskilled variety to be done in Norfolk and this section of the State than men can be secured to do at from $1.75 to $3.00 per day. The several transportation companies here are paying men 20 cents and 25 cents per hour, with almost unlimited working time for loading and unloading vessels and for one or two days, after pay day cannot get men to work, for even the good wages paid. This habit of a certain class of Negro workmen alone, has done more to retard their progress and keep down wages than anything else that has contributed to this condition. It was noticeable that when wages were advanced here a short while ago it became more difficult to keep the working crews up to the required limit. Where Self Interest Dictates. No man should want to be a "slacker" when a state of war forces greater responsibilities upon the industrious of his country and demands that, they be operated full time and more, and even if men's patriotism and zeal for their country's welfare did not inspire them to stick to their jobs and make full time in order that the nation's industrial organization is enabled to support the army and navy, their personal wafare and the welfare of their families should dictate such a course. Nothing improves one's physical, mental and spiritual condition more than The Journal and Guide the ability to earn more money with which to acquire more of the necessaries of life. The present war crisis with its accompanying industrial activity affords every man not only an opportunity to display the fullest measure of loyalty and patriotism, but an opportunity as well to improve the surrounding social and economic conditions. Many of Our Disadvantages of Our Own Making. It is true that conditions in Virginia and in the South upon the whole are not ideal, but it is nevertheless true that as a race many of our disadvantages are of our own making, either by sins of commission or of omission, as is so well stated in the following editorial extract from the Newport News Star: "There is no time to spit hairs upon whether we have had this or that sort of treatment as citizens of this country, now when our very existence as a nation is in the balance. "After all, most of the treatment we complain of is due to our own short-comings. "We complain of being disfranchised, but is it not true that when we did have the franchise, we so thoroughly abused it, that the white men would not be human if they did not take drastic steps to qualify the same. "We have been at gatherings where some of the leading Negroes by their mendacity and dishonesty would make a decent Negro regret the fact, that there are such men in the race. We complain of being Jim Crowed, yet we have been common carriers, where we would the war, we would have taken human life, so outraged and humiliated were we with the conduct and behavior of some Negroes on the boat, car or train. "We complain of segregation, and we have lived side, by with Negroes, who lived with an idea supremely fixed in their minds that no one else had a right, which they were bound to respect. "We complain of being lynched and otherwise maltreated, but we have seen things, which have come under our observation, which would make even the most thoughtful and conservative join a mob to rid the world of some characters, who are a fear and a menace to any sort of society. "As we view the situation, the Negro in these United States, since his emancipation from chattel slavery, has been the best treated Negroes in the world, all things being considered. "We throw up our hats and clap our hands, when we hear nice things said about us, but we become sullen and disgruntled when we are reminded that we are not angels and are told that a great deal of the hardships we suffer are due to our own making. "If we would give more attention to the things, which make for right, if we would always bear in mind that other people have rights we are bound to respect, if we would learn more of the Golden Rule and ask ourselves the question, if we were in the other man's stead would we tolerate his doing to us what we are doing to him, we would soon find a far different state of affairs." HENDERSON, N. C. (By T. R. Eaton). Henderson, N. C.—A large audience attended the closing exercises of Central Colored Graded School on Thursday, April 26. The interest in education could have been better shown. Five places of business operated by colored people were damaged and destroyed on Sunday night, April 29, by a terrible fire which raged about midnight. Damage is estimated at $10,000. The blaze is thought to have originated in the office of Dr. T. C. Tinsley, M. D. An enlightened patriotic crowd of colored people helped to celebrate patriotic day exercises on Wednesday, April 25, by taking an active part in the parade and hearing Prof. J. A. Colton's address at night. Mr. Scott Ingram, a progressive farmer of this community, died on Friday night. The funeral exercises were held from Mt. Bush Baptist Church on Sunday, Rev. S. L.

Ronnoke, V.—The new Hampton Theatre, which has been in course of construction for some months is rapidly taking on the appearance of a modern up-to-date theatre. A large force of workmen have been busy for the past few weeks, making every effort to finish the work as soon as possible. When the theatre is finished, Ronnoke will have one of the best equipped and most modern theatres owned and controlled by colored capital in the South. The outside work is being finished at a rapid rate, and by the last of the present week will be finished. A few weeks will be all that is necessary to complete the inside work, and the doors of a first class amusement house will be opened to the many theatre-goers in the city of Ronnoke. Thanks to the management for an amusement house where those who wish to go, may enter in at the front door and get the value of their money. The play entitled "Fete in Flower Land," which was given sometime ago at the True Reformers' Hall, was a rare treat, something unusual in the city of Roanoke, to which a large audience responded and was well pleased. The play was given for the benefit of the High Street Church Sunday School and was declared by those in charge to be a perfect success. We hope that sometime in the near future that the play will be given again, as many such requests have been made by those who saw it. Management, Mrs. Delmo Lucas, manager; Miss Lessey Lucas, agent; Miss Irene Price, pianist. Mr. John W. Deheaven of headquarters Co. 24th N. Y.

BIG PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATION MORE THAN 4000 SCHOOL CHILDREN AND CITIZENS IN PARADE Finest Pageant Of The Kind Ever Seen In This City—Fine Addresses By Justice Barron And Others Who Applauded Negro's Loyalty. The greatest patriotic demonstration ever held in this city and one of the finest ever held in this country was staged on Tuesday, May 1, when about four thousand colored school children accompanied by the Knights of Pythias, various other organizations and three brass bands paraded the streets of Norfolk waving flags and bearing banners which were inscribed in words that told in no uncertain terms of the colored citizens' loyalty to the flag and their willingness to do and die for their country. The marchers moved at four o'clock p. m. from Bute and Church streets, through Chapel to Main, to Granby to High to Monticello Avenue, to Nicholson, to Church and then to the Booker T. Washington High School on Princess Anne Avenue, where patriotic addresses were made and a great ovation given the speakers of the occasion. Justice Barron Principal Speaker. At the exercises which followed the parade Justice James S. Burron, exjudge of the police court and always an outspoken friend of colored people made the principal address in which he lauded the colored people's patriotism and fidelity to country and flag and branding the reports that have been circulated that some Negroes were ready to rebel as a "German lie." He told his hearers of the necessity of keeping the wheels of industry turning and the raising of foodstuffs that the allied armies and people may be supplied while the war lasts. That there is as great a need for workers as there is for soldiers was plainly brought out in his remarks. He said patriotism was not confined to the ranks of the army as the man or woman who does his or her duty at home in the workshop or tilling the soil was as much a patriot as a soldier. In closing his remarks he said there is no division in this country—no North or South, East or West and that Negroes as well as whites would stand as a man behind the country and flag. Chief Yeoman Abbott of the recruiting station showed his enthusiasm and interest in the colored demonstration when he said in an address which followed that of Justice Barron that it was the best one of its kind he had ever witnessed. In his remarks regarding the recruiting in Norfolk he said the colored applicants for the army had far outnumbered those of the whites which was an attestation to the colored man's patriotism, and that while all of the colored regiments were now recruited to full strength there would soon be other provision made for colored recruits. Mr. Maurice Long a white citizen who has always shown a deep interest in the welfare of colored citizens made a stirring address in which he said that white people of this community needed no patriotic demonstration to know that the colored people were loyal. He urged the co-operation of colored people in the raising of foodstuffs and in supplying the demand for labor in the various industries. The speech making was closed by Attorney W. H. Land who spoke for the colored citizens saying they had always been loyal and always would be; that in previous wars they had shown their bravery and patriotism by shouldering arms and shedding their blood in defense of the nation and were ready at this time to answer the country's call. All of the speakers were vigorously applauded by the hundreds, who heard them. At the suggestion of the master of ceremonies three hearty cheers were tendered the speakers. The addresses were interspersed with patriotic airs by a brass band. The meeting was closed with the singing of America and benediction by Rev. F. W. Williams. Those foremost in making preparation for the demonstration were: Prof. D. G. Jacos, Major Benj. F. Braxton, Messrs. Dennis Ackiss, W. F. Foreman and G. W. Giddings. The demonstration was under the auspices of the Norfolk Emancipation Association. DR. G. H. FRANCIS AND LAWYER PAIGE HURT IN A MOBILE BUS. Entroute to town from Oak Grove, Norfolk county, Tuesday night at 7 o'clock, Dr. Hamilton G. Francis and I. L. G. Patige, lawyer, colored, in Dr. Francis's automobile, the steering gear became unmanagable, and the car was ditched in a six-foot cut, painfully and rather seriously injuring both occupants. Dr. Francis received a deep gash over the eye and bruises about the body, and Attorney Patige received a broken nose and bruises about the head and body. They were attended by a South Norfolk physician and sent to their homes in Berkley. The car was partly hurled in the embankment. The car had to be hauled in. The accident happened near W. N. Willis's farm, not far from Oak BLACK BILLY SUNDAY STIRS NORFOLK PEOPLE Over Seven Hundred Converts At Queen Street Baptist Church Revival. The preaching of the Rev. Alexander Willbanks, better known as the "Black Billy Sunday," at Queen Street Baptist Church during the past week has been the sensation of the week in Norfolk. Over seven hundred sinners and "backsliders" have been reclaimed under the magnetic preaching of Dr. Willbanks, whose vigorous style is similar to that of the great white evangelist who is now conducting a campaign in New York City. All during the week crowds that have taxed the entire capacity of Queen Street Church have attended the meetings. It is said that more than five hundred new members will be added to this church as a result of the series of meetings conducted by Dr. Willbanks. He is accompanied by Mrs. Willbanks, who takes an active part in the meetings and is of invaluable assistance to the evangelist. TRAINING CAMP IS DEFERRED BUT SECRETARY OF WAR PROM ISES CONSIDERATION IN THE NEAR FUTURE Matter Will Be Taken Up When More Colored Troops Are Recruited Under Selective Conscription Plan—Secretary Baker Favors Camp. New York—A delegation, consisting of Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York, Moorfield Storey of Boston, Archibald H. Grimke, Prof. Geo. W. Cook, Prof. Montgomery Gregory, James W. Johnson, James A. Cobb, Dean Kelly Miller, Whitfield McKinley, and Roy Nash had an interview with Secretary of War Newton D. Baker on Friday morning, April 27th. Dr. Spingarn acted as spokesman and asked that the Secretary immediately authorize General Wood to invite three hundred colored men to enter Plattsburgh or any other of the regular training camps which have just been instituted. The Secretary replied that he could not do this at this time, but that he was seriously considering the whole matter and was committed to the plan for training colored officers for colored regiments. He stated he had not decided whether to have a separate battalion of colored officers in a regular camp or a separate and distinct camp for colored officers, and would take "which ever was least offensive to the colored people." CAPE CHARLES (By W. P. Jefferson) By P. W. Cock, Jr. The First Baptist Sunday School Union coached Sunday last with the First Baptist Sunday School of Capeville, Va.

Total collection raised for Tidewater Institute, $32.29. Mrs. Georgia C. Richardson of Daughtry, Va., spent the week-end visiting friends in Cape Charles. The Cape Charles Public School held its 4th monthly contest on Monday evening last, which was very interesting to all who were present. Quite a number of the white friends were present. The judges decided that the contestants of the two contending clubs were so evenly matched that the result was a draw. Rev. J. Albert Handy and wife spent Thursday night last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Jefferson of Mason Avenue, enroute home after motoring down the Peninsula from Maryland. Mr. W. D. Howard, business manager of the Cape Charles Glee Club, made a flying trip to Norfolk, Va., on Wednesday last in interest of the club.

PRICE FIVE CENTS HAMPTON'S 49TH ANNIVERSARY PREPAREDNESS, LOYALTY AND RACIAL GOOD WILL WERE EMPHASIZED Ninety-eight Graduates Received Diplomas And Certificates—Hampton Methods Shown In Industrial Demonstrations. Hampton Institute, Va.—Preparedness, loyalty, and racial good-will were emphasized throughout the forty-ninth Hampton Institute anniversary celebration which closed with the presentation by Rev. Dr. Francis G. Peabody, of Cambridge, Mass., of ninety-eight candidates for diplomas and certificates to the board of trustees. Dr. Wm. Jay Schieffelin of New York, a trustee of Hampton and Tuskegee, spoke on "The Negro's Opportunity to Serve the Nation in the Present Crisis," and expressed his confidence in the Negro's ability and willingness to go forward in the spirit of Hampton to cheerful self-sacrifice. Dr. Peabody said of Mr. Taft, president of the Hampton board of trustees: "By the logic of events, he has been promoted to the enviable position of being the best-loved living American." Mr. Taft's declaration at the community meeting on Preparedness, called by Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, that the loyalty and service of Negroes in the present crisis will make the colored race more valued by all the citizens was received with great enthusiasm. Homer L. Perguson, president of the Newport News Drydeck and Shipbuilding Company, declared that those who are robbing the South of Negro farm laborers are doing what is unworthy and unpatriotic. Improving the attendance of Negro boys at their work as riveter helpers has increased the output of his shipyard four cargo ships each year. Alexander B. Trowbridge, of New York, organized and brought to the Hampton anniversary a "Special Hampton Party" of eighty men and women, representing important business and social interests. The practical educational methods developed at Hampton Institute for the training of colored and Indian youth were graphically shown in agricultural and industrial demonstrations. The addresses of the Seniors were full of interest and common sense. Dr. Frissell in his annual principal's report said that preparedness for service is the keynote of Hampton. "Because of the pressing demand upon Hampton for teachers and industrial leaders, and because the school will apparently work to greater advantage with more pupils, the board of trustees and the faculty have decided that a movement shall be made toward a greater Hampton. A school of 1,200 means a new auditorium, more dining room space, more dormitories, additional class rooms and teachers, and a larger church. BAY SHORE HOTEL WILL OPEN SOON Bayshore Hotel, the popular Buckroe Beach resort, will open about May 15th. This statement was authorized by Mr. F. D. Banks of the Bay Shore Corporation and sets at rest the rumors that have been current to the effect that the United States Government had acquired the property. The hotel will positively open at an early date with considerable improvements in facilities and service, it is announced. Formal announcement of the opening with exact date will appear in the Journal and Guide. THE SECOND EDITION OF PRAISEWORTHY MUSE The second edition of Praiseworthy Muse, a magazine of Negro poetry, published quarterly in this city, will be ready for distribution about the first of the ensuing week. The current number will contain many beautiful poems on miscellaneous subjects and on "The Emancipation of the Negro from American Slavery." On the preceding subject appears many good selections, prominent among which is the prize-winning poem of Mr. Lemuel D. Bolton for quarter. The Aftermath, a continuation poems on Dr. Washington, also oent in this issue, and many of her indeed equal in various respe those used in the first offer brce work. On the editorial page Mr. Baxter writes under the following captions: "Is the Negro Loyal?", "Poetry On the Up-grade, and "Put Into Action What You Have," etc., all of which furnishes much food for thought. In regard to the circulation of the magazine, it may be or interest to some to know that the publication is being read in many parts of the United States, in Canada and Cuba. Thus under favorable auspices, and in spite of the high cost of printing material, this issue has been increased in size and well illustrated with some of the pictures of the contemporary poets of the times in connection with brief matches in regard to their work.

Thought Drinking Only a Faunion. Charles Booth, the economist, who regarded drink as one of the most prolific causes of pauperism, thought the drinking habit was principally a matter of fashion, rapidly passing away among the upper classes, while among the middle classes it was preserved as a "social necessity," men treating each other to drinks they would perhaps sooner be without. Among the poor men drank to excess from a perverted pride. "The whole thing," he declared, "is so baseless that it is conceivable it might very rapidly come to an end. The cure lies, I think, not so much in a total abstinence propaganda, though that is indirectly useful, as in the raising of the whole standard of life." --- The difference in time between Washington and Paris is 5 hours, 17 minutes and 89.635 seconds, according to the United States naval observatory. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE PAINT means death to dirt and disease! Malaria is said to have hastened the downfall of Rome. The insects which transmitted it were more deadly to the inhabitants of the imperial city than their barbarian enemies. Much has also been written of similar injury to Greece in yet earlier times. At least two diseases are carried by certain species of insects—malaria and yellow fever. All species are disagreeable pests that often make nature's most attractive spots untenant. Paint kills germs! Paint upl Unrelated Potatoes. Sweet potatoes have not much in common botanically with their more familiar namesakes. They have long been cultivated as food in tropical and subtropical countries and were actually introduced into England at an earlier date than the common potato. The two tubers were often confounded by writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but the sweet potato won more popularity than its rival. Made into a sweetmeat it was regarded as an excellent invigorator. Sweetlish and agreeable to the taste, its flesh forming qualities are considered equal at least to those of the common potato. -London Chronicle. The Paris of Asia. Tokyo, to a much larger degree than any American city and even more than Paris or London, is the center of the life of the nation. Here the universities draw students from every province. Here is being fought out the battle for democracy and freedom from a military bureaucracy. Here industrialism is raising its many headed body and threatening destruction of the race. Here is the center from which one must study the movements of the orl out.-Christian Herald. Locomotive Whistles. Ask each one of a company of fifty people to rise separately and remain standing for one minute. There will be fifty different records, varying from ten to sixty seconds. Ask ten workmen each to bring you a short and a long board and you will get twenty different lengths of board. These illustrations are used by a railway man to emphasize the necessity of a mechanical device to eliminate the element of uncertainty as to what constitutes a "long" or a "short" whistle by a locomotive. It is not right, he says, to trust the safety of a trainload of passengers to a guess upon a guess.—Exchange. An Innocent Offender A rather amusing story of the art of making beds was related recently by a speaker at a women's meeting. She was visiting a friend, and, being naturally neat and helpful, or thinking she was, she went up to her bedroom and made up the bed. Later on, when it came time for her to depart, her hostess came into her room and upon viewing the bed exclaimed: "Mercy! That mall I have is awful! Just look at that bed!" Lacking the courage to explain, the visitor hastened away. Later she wrote to her friend in this manner after admitting her guilt: "I made up that bed after a recipe in the Ladies' Busy Bee, and it refused to jell." How the Name "Turncoat" Started. The epithet "turncoat" took its rise from one of the first dukes of Savoy, whose dominions lying open to the incursions of the two contending houses of Spain and France he was obliged to temporize and fall in with that power that was most likely to distress him. So, being frequently obliged to change sides, he humorously got a coat made that was blue on one side and white on the other and might be worn either side out. While in the Spanish interest he wore the blue side out, and the white side was the badge for the French; hence he was called Emanuel, surnamed the Turncoat, by way of distinguishing him from other princes of the same name. Women dress up in the springtime. Men dress up in the springtime. Nature dresses up in the springtime. Why don't you dress up your home with a fresh coat of paint? Don't spare the paint brush. If you own a house it will preserve it. A landlord who keeps his premises well painted never is at a loss for a tenant. DANVILLE (By Miss Mabel G. Oliver.)

Everyone Should Drink Glass of Water To Clean Kidneys If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothered You Drink Lots of Water When your kidneys hurt and your bank feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys and like you, keep your kidneys and by flushing them, keep your kidneys and kidneco which removes the body's urinary waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can easily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys healthy. Drink lots of water—you can't drink too much; also get from Burrow-Martin Drug Co. or Strole Pharmacy about one dozen 5-grain kidneco tablets, take one tablet before each meal and at bedtime with a glass of water for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous remedy is made from perfect, harm-free ingredients and is used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Kidneco is inexpensive, cannot injure, make no mistake, insist on kidneco which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys healthy. It is a safe and gentle water drinking and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.

He has recently had the pleasure of getting about over the county with our county superintendents and demonstrators, Prof. Blandford.

WRENCH Done by order of the Nansemond Co. Teachers' Association. On the 28th of February, that dreaded monster and uncompromising visitor, Death, came unbidden into our ranks and snatched from us one of the "Noblest komans of them all," the Rev. John B. Wrench, who was for years both a preacher and a teacher, and one of the best that Nansemond has ever known. "None knew him but to love him." As a teacher he was dear and convincing, earnest and impressive, a benefactor. As a preacher, strong, logical, prepared, lightening many burdens. One of the most beautiful things we can say of him is that he was a real man, a Christian gentleman. When we think of him our hearts go down in grief and we pause to wipe away the tears that unbidden start. Yet we bow in humble submission to Him who has promoted him to that school whose teacher and leader is God. When we take a retrospect of his simple yet useful and unselfish life we cannot refrain from saying, "Let me die the death of the righteous, let my last days be like him." Mr. Wrench is dead yet he lives and he shall live as long as the little building, in which he taught so many people the real art of true living, shall endure, and when it shall have perished he shall still live in the hearts of the Nansemond County teachers, as long as we love and adore real true, faithful service and he shall still live on in that city, whose builder and maker is God." Fading away, like the stars of the morning. Losing their light in the glorious sun; Thus would we pass from the earth and its tolling. Only remembered by what we have done. Resolved: That a copy be sent to the Journal and Guide, and a copy sent to the family. Rev. H. M. Henderson, President, Mrs. Mamie E. Estes, Secretary. CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC LAX-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medicine but is composed of the following old-fashioned roots and herbs: OASCARA BARK BLUE FLAG ROOT RHUBARB ROOT BLACK ROOT MAY APPLE ROOT SENNA LEAVES AND PEPSIN In LAX-Fos the CASCARA is improved by the addition of these digestive ingredients making it better than ordinary CASCARA, and thus the combination acts not only as a stimulating laxative and cathartic but also as a digestive and liver tonic. Syrup laxatives are weak, but LAX-Fos combines strength with palatable, aromatic taste and does not gripe or disturb the stomach.
