TERRIBLE CRx\MPS
“My wife,” writes Joe Moorhead,
of Archibald, Okla., “had been troub
led with cramps, every month, from
the time she first came to woman
hood. She would be in -bed from
four to seven days at a time.
“She tried doctor’s remedies, but
they did her no good, so, after many
years of suffering, I gave her
CARDITI, as you directed. After
she had taken one bottle, she was not
bothered any more with cramps, and
now she has a fine boy baby.
“We recommend Cardui to all wo
men who suffer from female troub
les.”
Cardui, as you know, is a popular
medicine with women. It is popu
lar because it has been found to re
lieve their pains, bring roses to pale
cheeks, strength to weak bodies and
nerves.
Its specific action is on the cause
of most female ills, and thus, it is
a medicine especially for women,
with a record of over 50 years of
success, in the treatment of troubles
peculiar to women.
Cardui is sold at all drug stores,
ith full instructions for use.
Try Cardui.

LABOR.
We must labor soon and late
For labor is the law of fate,
Labor young and labor old,
Labor through the hot and cold.
Labor -with hands and with minds,
For labor is in all the climes;
Labor for better things here below,
Labor for good and not for show.
Labor moves all the world
In its mighty rush and whirl,
Bearing fruits of many kinds
For the good of human kind.
Labor is the great decree
Issued from all eternity,
And the world is better made
If its law is rightly obeyed.
Labor is the driving wheel,
And all the world its force does feel,
Whether with muscle, brain, or pen,
We must labor to the end.

CHAT.
Our department continues to grow
in numbers and attractiveness, I
think. We have some new comers
this week who are heartily welcome.
I am glad to see their letters and the
department is better and richer for
each new member who comes to join
us. We have a fine letter from “ Per
sistence.” The idea of holding a de
bate has appealed to “Persistence”
and caused him to write a thoroughly
sensible letter about the question of
debating. He also offers a good sub
ject for our debate. Owing to the
fact that one of the debaters appoint
ed has failed to respond, I appoint
“Persistence” to fill that vacancy.
“Persistence,” will you accept? Please
let me know. We are going to keep
you employed now that you are ad
mitted.
In that connection it may be well to
call your attention to the fact that
our contest closes next week. The in
terest already shown has gratified me
very greatly, and I hope it will grow
for the coming week. I am very de
sirous of having new correspondents
for this department. Write once, and
you will be surprised what a feeling
you will have that you have new
found friends and those in whom you
feel a personal interest, even though
you do not actually know their faces
Clara is a new comer and is wel
come. She brings us a question for
debate. We will soon have a nice,
large list of questions from which to
make a selection and it will be im
possible for us to have a poor debate
when we have so many subjects open
for our selection and discussion.
Let’s all make this department the
best in the paper, if we can. It should
be bright and happy and instructive.
BROTHER WILLIE.

A GOOD LETTER FROM A NEW
MEMBER.
Dear Brother Willie: Frequently I
have purposed to write to this depart
ment, but for various reasons have not
heretofore done so. I have read The
Golden Age since the time it was first
established and have found each issue
to abound in good things. But, being,
as I am, young, this department has
always kept my attention in a large
measure. There have been many bril
liant letters from the first, hut now
The Golden Age for June 18, 1908.
that the subject of debating has arisen
I become mote forcibly touched.
I have had the pleasure of being a
member of a debating club for a time,
and, as any one taking part must/ I
could not choose but like it. A vital
necessity in debating is the prepara
tion of the argument. Recognizing this
fact, every member of this department
has an opportunity now to do himself
or herself credit in the art of debating
No one need doubt but that tnere
is great good to be derived from this
work. ’Tis a step well taken, an in
vestment well made, and a seed well
sown that will bring forth abundant
harvest. There is scarcely a better
opportunity for pure originality and
pure logical exposition to be found,
it means intellectual growth and de
velopment. It is the foundation of
strong will-power and integrity. And
somehow, whether it be a cause or an
effect, those who acquire success in
the art of debating always aspire to
higher things.
As our editor asked for some ques
tions, I have decided to send one. It
is one that should be considered and
deliberated by tnose just emerging
from the high schools, and personally
concerns those of small means. It af
fords opportunity for good, sound rea
soning and originality. The question is
“Should a high school graduate who is
preparing himseif to be a fafmer work
his way through college?”
Sincerely yours,
“PERSISTENCE.”

A LETTER FROM SOUTH CARO
OLINA.
Dear Brother Willie: I have just
read your letter and think that a very
good subject would be, “Resolved,
That the works of art are greater than
the works of nature.”
The affirmative could speak of the
steam engine, telephone, and many
other things, while the negative could
speak of flowers, trees, and other beau
tiful scenery.
I think this debate will be very nice
and hope all will take a great interest
in it.
I will not write any more this time.
Wishing much success to our page.
Your sincere friend,
Perry, S. C. AGNES TYLER.

NORTH CAROLINA PROHIBITION
BATTLE.
Dear Brother Willie: As I am a
young girl only 16 years old and have
three brothers and one sister in
Georgia, will ask you to allow me to
join the Voices of Youth, and tell you
something of our recent prohibition
battle.
May 26, 1908, was to the church and
moral element of North Carolina what
the American Revolution was to the
colonies or states. Notwithstanding
we had some Arnolds, yet we won one
of the decisive battles in the history
of North Carolina.
A great many of the good women of

Opposite grand Central Station, HOUSTON, TEXAS.
my own town went out to the place of
voting. Sisters, daughters, mothers,
and one great grandmother were at
the polls. One of the poll holders ob
jected to the women being present,
yet there was no law to prevent it.
and when a man went to cast a whis
key ticket it seemed as though he were
voting not only a curse on himself, but
upon every man, woman, and child iti
North Carolina.
The constant and dismal knell of the
church bells seemed to charge him
with the death of the poor drunkard
and the trouble brought on by its
many forms of use. Notwithstanding
the many sighting remarks cast at the
good women at the polls, they did
not get mad, but pitied those making
them, Saying, “Father, forgive them*
for they know not what they do.”
Our own little town won by a ma
jority of 76 to 34 in favor of prohibi
tion.
The most accurate count of the
whole state to date is 43,000 majority
for prohibiton. As God gave us the
victory may he teach us how to use
it. Respectfully,
ANNIE C. HAWEb.
Rose Hill, N. C.
A NEW MEMBER FROM FLORIDA.
Dear Brother Willie: I would like
to join the Voices of Youth. I am 13
years old, and have been reading the
paper for a short time. I would also
like to suggest a subject for debate.
This is the one I offer: “Resolved,
That children after conversion should
join the church regardless of parental
objection.”
I won't stay long this time, but will
surely come again.

SUBJECTS FOR DEBATE.
Dear Brother Willie: I have pre
pared a few subjects which I wish to
suggest as suitable ones for our de
bate.
The first one is, “Working For Or
phans and Missionaries.” The next one
is, “Which Brings the Most Happiness,
Prosperity, or Generosity?” If I mis
take not, all of us would say the latter.
Still, there are some who think dif
ferently.
Another question, “Pursuit and Pos
session.” Ask yourselves, which do I
enjoy the most, pursuing something or
possessing it? It is hard to tell, isn’t
it?
Hoping the suggestions will be of
some benefit, I remain,
Your friend,
LORENA McCOOL.
Atlanta, Ga.
Note: The questions are not stated in
just the proper form for debate, as they
should be affirmatively stated, making
the question to advance one side or
the other, but we will all understand
the suggestions contained in them. —
Editor.
