STOMACH TROUBLE Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: "For quite a long while I suffered with stomach troub!c. I would have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with butter, oil or grease, I would spit it up. I be'an to have regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just seemed to tear my stomach all up. I found they were no good at all for my trouble. I heard THEDFORD'S BLACK-DHIUGH recommended very highly, so began to use it. It cured me. I keep it in the house all the time. It is the best liver medicine made. I do not have sick headache or stomach trouble any more." Black-Draught acts on the jaded liver and helps it to do its important work of throwing out waste materials and poisons from the sys tem. TIs medicine should be in every household for use in time of need. Get a package today. If you feel sluggish, take a dose tonight. You will feel fresh to morrow. 25c a package. All druggists.

H1I11L The Successful Farmer Raises Bigger Crops and cuts down costs by investment in labor-saving machinery. Good prices for the farmers' crops en courage new investment, more production and greater prosperity. But the success of agriculture depends on the growth of railroads-t modern beasts of burden that hau he crops to the world's markets. The railroads-lik ie farms-increase their output and c down unit costs by the constant invest ent of new capital. 'With fair prices for the work they do, the railroads are able to attract new capital for expanding their facilities. Rates high enough to yield a fair return will insure railroad growth, and prevent costly traffic congestion, which invariably results in poorer service at higher cost. National wealth can increase only as our railroads grow. Poor railroad service is dear at any price. No growing country can long pay the price of inadequate transportation facilities. &7h!t advel&ned I pulbti6Wd by ie c2Iociahon !fRadway ec utie..

OW TOOK FOXES IN NEAT TRAP Probably Only intmance on Record Where Youngsters Were Caught in a Horse Blanket How four foxes were caught in a horse blanket Is a quaint '-ite told by R. A. Ilutmiacher In the Ilunter-Trader Trapper of Columbus, 0. "I happened to be driving south of Iapatee. Ill., with the Implement deal er of that town. manking business cils oni several farners of that section, when, to my surprise, I s'aw on a very steep hill In the distance severul young - foxes playing about as if no human was near." says Mr. Ilutmacher. "My partner and I decided to try our luck at catching them, so driviLg on a little further, we tied our horses and. set ou, neross the ild after them. "When we reached the hole, they were ill up over the lill chasing eact other, so telling my companion to go around the hill] and chase them my way I threw a horse blanket over their hole aind waited. As they came rush Ing for the hole I raised one end of the b1lanket just enough to ilde myself and at the sarie time form a tral) of it for Ithemi to run Into. "They iall got to the hole about the same timae, when I threw one end of the bltinket over them, the other end being over ithe0 hole. In the excite mient I succeded in catching ill four in the folds of the blanket. "We went back to the Iuggy aind drove to town, Im.y comp".mlo:n taking two off te foxes and I two. Possibly tile explanation of our good luck is the fnet that the foxes were not imuch more than six weeks old when cap tured."

HAS HIGH PLACE IN HISTORY Magellan ,Famed as Man Who Found the Pacific and Completed the Work of Columbus. Four centuries ago Perdinand Ma gellan sailed from Seville, Spain. on the voyage during which he discovered the Pacific ocean, natned the Straits of Magellan and opened the islands of the Pacille ocean to the people of Iou rope. His was the first circununnviga tion of the earth. Ulad he not been imbhued with the desire to be the gov ernor of a new world, In keeping with the promise accorded him by Chnles V., the great geographer might have attained even greater heights. In stead he died, before the three years' cruIse wits comnpleted. while InI battle with natives of a group of the Philip pine islands. He had discovered thema, along with Ladrone and Guan islands. anl was Intent on Inaking them Span Ish. The discovery of America by Co hmabus had not completely convinced Europeans that the earth was round. but the findings of Magellan clInched the arguinent. He started v!th a crew of 270 inen and five vessels. but the on.e ship that survived the cruise only took back a reinnant of that party. MaIny died of scurvy, and sonie fell during inutiniles and battles with na tives. Magellan added much to the world's geography.

BALD HEADS AT PEACE TABLE Many Diplomats Had Whiskers and Mustaches, but Lacked Hair on Their Craniums.
