help that may come with CARDTjI
because they have experienced it!
Some find they need only start
on it three days bfore “the time”
and take it as directed in order to
relieve periodic pain due to func
tional causes.
Others find that the proper use
of CARDUI enables them to stim
ulate appetite and improve diges
tion (through the increased flow
of digestive juices). So they are
enabled to build up strength and
energy and relieve periodic head
aches, nervousness, cramp-like
pain and other associated function

WAITERS’
COLUMN
(BY H. W. SMITH)
The Waiters organization is d
ing a very fine job and we hope
for them good success as the wide
'wake president and the streaml
ined secretary are tbe right n en
in the right place and when you
are helping others you are h: Iping
yourself.
We had the pleasure of talking
adth Capt. Booth of the Paxton
Hotel who is up from the largest
state in the union and he informs
me that the race horse headwai
ter Mr. Corbert an dthe Stream
but particular American Negroes.
The double “V” campaign advo
cates freedom at hime and abroad.
Many discouraging things have
happened during the past few
weeks. Unwise agitation about
these things may prove detriment
al to national morale but we must
courageously contend for democ
r-cy for all people in the wisest
way possible.
Fighting for freedom for Chin
ese, British colonials and Indians
is worthwhile, but we can Only do
:>ur best when we feel that the
Negro will receive complete econ
omic, political and cultural free
dom. The double Victory camp
aign will prove to be a successful
venture if it pursues sober and un
prejudiced lines and insists on real
and practical national unity. Vic
tory will never be realized until
white people as well as Negroes,
get victory over their own preju
diced hearts and opinions.

Lincoln is made of rather a pro

less than 1,000 of that number. In
the Lincoln Post office we have
eleven colored employees, two mail
carriers in the persons of Eugene
Edwards who has an unusual hign
rating as an mail carrier. The
Lincoln Journal one of Nebraska’s
leading paipers contained an article
last year which paid tribute to Ei
wards as being one of the best and
most reliable postmen, out of the
building. Mr. Edwards will be on
the retirement list before many
more years. Mr. Edward Crafi is

mula to my doctor and, on his advice,
tried the treatment for two weeks un
