Movement All Can Aid
We see that the Galveston people
who proposed in the first place to
erect a monument to the old color¬
ed mammy have been prevailed
upon to transfer the location to
Washington: making it a national
affair, and inviting all parts of the
country to contribute. It is a good
and pleasant opportunity, in our
opinion, and we should like to see
the whole nation take part in it.
To southerners, whether we re¬
fer to those still living south or to
the countless thousand who are
now distributed all over the north
and east, and the west, hers is a
name to conjure with. White-ap¬
roned, turbaned, always devoted
and alert, she nursed a strenuous
and proud race through the ail¬
ments and vicissitudes of child¬
hood. They went to sleep to her
cradle tales and chants. They
lolled upon her humble, patient
breast. She comforted them in
their hours of infantile affliction.
The civil war, with its dread epilo¬
gue of terror, touched old mammy
not at all. She was unconsciously
sworn to the family. She per¬
formed her simple but incalculable
duty. Few members of her class
survive, the race is surely dying;
but if ever there were heroes and
martyrs who deserved Immortal
celebration, the old negro mammy
is among them, and not far from
the head of all the list.—From
The New York Sun.

dele, was the guest this week of
Miss Florence Jones.

The Secret of Youth
Do you ever wonder how you can remain young, or
why other women older than you, look younger than “Preserve you do?
The secret can be put in a few words:
your health, “health” and you will preserve your youth.”
By we mean not alone physical health, but
nerve health, as, sometimes, magnificently strong-looking
women are nervous wrecks. .....
But whether you are weak physically or nervously, $
you need a tonic, and the best tonic for you is Cardui.
It builds strength for the physical and nervous systems. -r*>
It helps put flesh on your bones and vitality into your nerves.
