It is do dishonor, bat an honorable employment from the first and the rapid means of advancement. Men women and children all should belong to it all that is, below tbe grade of Biciency which needs no care For the children this is the vital base of the matter a sjBtem of education tbe beet we have should guarantee the fullest development possible to each trom the carefully appointed nursery and kindergarten up to tbe trade school fitting the boy or girl for life; or if special capacity be shown for higher education. This at once stops the lowering process it h aves the Btate only tbe ex istiug crop of low efficients to handle and insures tbe higher eraoieccy of the neit generation. Those old enough to work should be employed as fol lows: enough should be placed on farm to provide for tliH entire body. These farms should be model farms under the best management furnishing experiment stations and bases for agricultural instruction as well as the food for the whole army and all its officials; and where oottoo and such piodacts were rsised they would be a further source of inoome. As largo percentage of the negro population is best tnlted to agricultural labor this would prove a very Important working base for the Institution. By modern methods of advanced agriculture the land would be improved the best re sults obtained from it and tbe laborers continually taught their business. The surrounding country would be benefitted by these stations. Another large number In mills and shops belonging to the undertaking would make clothing nniforma etc for them all ; and another detachment would assist In the necessary buildng. All these are but the internal functions of the new body; its direct servioe to society would be iu meeting the crying need of the whole South for better roads, harbors, river bauks and the general development of the country. Construction trains carry- ing bauds of the new workmen officers sua men w ith their famlliet with work for the women and teaching for the children would carry the laborer along the road he made and Improve the country at tremendous speed. "With propel food suitable hours of work rest and amusement without the strain of personal initiative and responsibility to whiob so many have proved unequal, a great amount of proa active labor would be thus brought to the servioe of tbe com munity. As fast as any individuals proved themselves capable of working on their own initiative tbey would be graduated with honor. This institu tion shoo Id be compulsory at tbe bot tom, perfectly free at the top. Each company would nave its clerk, each individual would have his enarate account as soon as bis labor passed the amount necessary for tbe support of the institution, and, when above that amount, a wage land should accumulate credited; to each famishing small capital to start with when graduated. Many who would 'not perhaps prove capable of entire personal reeponlbility, could be organised in small post graduate groups of farms or shops, and so re main until tbey went on to higher efforts or Derhape came back into tbe army. "What this amount to Is simply State organization of tbe negro, under conditions wholly to his advantage, and therefore to ours. "The unorganized negro does not j am capable in many instances of j utilizing his own force. This organ!- tat ion providt s tbe machinery best to 1 elicit and apply tbe working foroe of ' this great mass of people, and would do so at no lose whatever. " i Tti la, of course. Is tbe corvee or system of enforced labor, which in it worst forms baa been tbe disgraoe of countries like Egypt. Bot Gilman argues that there is nothing By means of this work any student who bas not time to attend college or high school, can pursue, with hardly any cost, practically the same work by correspondence through the university courses, and receive credit for it. Thousands of dollars each ysar are sent out of Oregon to varions corres pondence schools, and tbe University believes that a large part of thia might just as well be raved to the oeonln of the state. The enrollment of this department will reach 3000 students for the year. A Common Cold. We claim that if catching cold could be avniiled some of the miM dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms a culture bed for germs of infectious disease. Consumption, pneu monia, diphtheria and srarlet fever, four of the moat dangeroiu and fatal diseases, are of thin class. The culture bed formed by the cold fuvor the development of the germa ol then diseases, that would not otherwise find lod-jenL There ia little danger, however, if any of these diseases being contracted then a good expectorant rouh uiedii-iiit 'ike Chamberlain a I'ough Keniedv is u-c.l It cleans out these culture beds that farn -he development of the germs of these ill jane.

Shake well In a bottle and take in teasooooful doses Hfter each meal and again at bedtime. A well known druggist here at home, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the lngre dleuta are alt harmless and can be oh taiued at a small cost from any good DrescriDtion pharmacy, or the nilxtore would be put up If asked to ao so. He further stated that , while this Dreeoription ia often prescribed in rheumBtio afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it ould not be a splendid remedy for kidney and nrinary tioubles ana backache, as it has a peculiar aotlon upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from tbe blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause "icknesa and suffering.
