PROFIT
The matter of feed is of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his cows to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children ?
Are they fed according to
cnonrn ?? Knnfl f k/vnao
u l/UUU iUVU 11. UUIll^O
are - soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia ?
Scott's Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod l iver Oil in-it
, makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. It is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

Senator John X. Morgan, of ^

two years of endeavor, in inter- .

lands in colonizing the Negroes ^
of the United States, says a Wash- ^
ington dispatch 10 the Atlanta
Journal.
v
The war department has made ^
arrangements to tost the practical
possibilities of the plau and ^
the president has sent a special
envoy, T. Thomas Fortune, a Negro
leader, to the Philippine is- ^
lands to make investigation and ^
report on tho condition there.
In his efforts to have the plan
put into execution, Senator Mor
gun has held frequent consults- (
tion with Secretary of War Hoot;
has consulted Governor General ^
Taft, and in other ways urged his ,
I scheme on the officials,
j It is the Alabainian purpose in ,
! the future to start legislation in {
congress for the movement to eol
onize the Negroes in the Philippines.
He has not pushed this (
work because he believes the time (
is not ripe yet for legislation; the
farmers'of the south, he says, (
think they need the Negro now,
, and v.ntil conditions are more favorable,
he will withhold the pro (
posed legislation. He believes, (
however, that the move now under
way will result eventually in (
millions of the Negroes emigrating
ipina.isla n ds and_wQ^k- ]
mg Out their own salvation
there.
This, he says, is the solution of
the grave Negro question which 1
now confronts the Ameiicnn peo- 1
ole.
* t
Senator Morgan s plan is to j
incorporate for the Negroes,
steamship transportation companies;
to give them homesteads (if
, about twenty acres each in tho fc
island and to give them the best
possible commercial advantages ?
The plan weuld not deprive them 1
of their protection under the flag \
of tho United Statos; it would not 1
deprive them of citizeuship, of 1
which they are proud, and it 1
would euable tbom to become a (
self sustaining and prosperous <
race of people, because the land r
in the Philippine islands is ex 1
tremely rich and fertile. The 1
climate is exactly suited to the \
, Negroes' physical and industrial <
character, he says. Under this i
- plan Senator Morgan believes
great numbers of the Negroes, but ;
not all of them, of course, would
go to the islands.
