The druggist recom mended Thedford's BLACK- DRAUGHT and I decided to try it, for, as I say, I had tried others for two or more years without any Im provement in my health.

GOOflt II Hi 11 KK I'KICKi) CrOTIUNp, Outlook Im That W?Hfl Crop Im AJfO Short. With a .short cotton crop, hopes (or cheaper clothing do not seem to be very bright, if a Boston correspond ent of the Now York Tribune i? cor rect in predicting: a shortage of Amer ican wool and eager competition for foreign wool, To quote what this writer .say* on The Tribune'* finan cial page: With the immense quantities of for eign wool being reshipped out of tho UOftpn market, and with the territory I and dona stic wool being used Ug, there is considerable conjecture around the trade as to the percentage t.f th<- 1028 < lip in the United States which is left on the marked The present yearfc* clip is roughly, estima ted at 2f>0,(M>b,000 pounds and some have stated that they felt that from 25 to 35 per cent only of the domes tie clip is left with practically eight j months, yet before the new supply1 would be ready. The. country has now been five months on the present i clip and what was left over from 1922. Attention is railed to the fact that the ] wools, or the bulk of the wools which j have changed hands recently have not j been sold among dealers, but direct i to the mills. If an average is taken of the esti- j mates that have been mentioned, or 30 per cent, the amoimt unused would ! be but 76,000,000 pounds. At the rate wool has been consumed a wool man l states that the trade would use up j 200,000,000 pounds before the new is available. . ' ' That the demand Is not likoly to let up is indicated, we read in this dis- j patch, by the probability that the woolen mills will continue to run well. "Th? u*nt/?rm?nt of W. M, Wood of the American Woolen Company is called to mind, when h? wait! that 83 per cent of his machinery >vas in operation." And then, "the Goodall Worsted Com pany of Sanford, Maine, which is a big factor in the buying of wool, is put ting its mills on full time again." And foreign wools are higher in price, for "quotations are rising all the time in Australia, South Africa, the Conti nent and Bradford." This writer says of the foreign demand: it is interesting t<> not$ that the main .support of the foreign markets is buying for mill accounts ami im mediate consumption. At no time wince the armistice have France, Ger many and Belgium been able to get a supply for more than three or four weeks ahead of their requirements. The English wools -m- being taken by the continent very consistently, and while trade in England has not been any too good there has not been an opportunity as yet to accumulate stock* for the woolen and*. worsted trade. With all of this consumption and activity indications are that when some real winter weather comes the demand will be so excessive that gar- j ment manufacturer and mills will not ! be able to supply the public as fast as they might desire. Charleston, December KxceptinK Pete Cross, of Detroit, all the dc fendants, who were found not guilty yesterday in the United States Dia- j trict court of conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws, have been charged anew by the District Attorney's office.

Here's Proof That Advertising Pays Famous Wriglcy Building in Chicago Being Doubled in Size The part of the Wrigtey Ruild ing erected two years ago has filled such a want that the north scction, nearly double the floor area ot the south section, is being added. This north scction, nearly com pleted, occupies the ent:re block, immediately across Xorth Water Street, fronting on Michigan Avenue and reaching to the height of the main part of the first struc ture. with a connecting bridge. The space in the new section is already nearly all taken by high class hrms in advance of the com pletion of the building. Here is a concrete (as well as a steel and glass) proof of the say ing that "advertising pays." In these magnificent buildings Mr. Wrigley has erected an impressive testimonial to this gicat truth. They loom large and beautiful. They typify the achievements of the man who built them. They stand as a monitor over the activ ity of the Nation's second city ? inspiring ? dominating? massive ? bearing unanswerable testimony to the POWER OF ADVER- - TISING. ~.L . *V EAT HER RECORDS NtSOEU !

CAMEL WENT TO HEAVEN Mahemet'i Boast Given Place for Going From Jeruealem to Mecca In Four Bounds. Mahomet's camel, according to tra dition. performed the whole Journey from Jerusalem te Mecca In four bounds, for which service he had a place In Heaven with Ahorak <the prophet's horse), Balaam's ass. Toblt's dog snd Ketmlr (the dog of the seven sleepers), says the Detroit News. It Is said the mosque of Koba covers the vn apOt wucri tiic Cauif! liTiiu Wi'if n Mahomet fled from Mecca. Mahomet considered the kneeling of the camel hs a sign sent by God and remained at Koba for four days. In the Koran there Is an expression similar to the one found In the Bible to the effect that "It Is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a nee dle than for a rich man to enter Into the kingdom of God." The Koran says: "The Impious shall find the gates of Heaven shut ; nor shall he enter till a camel shall pass through the eye of a needle." In the rabbini cal writings there is a slight variety: "Perhaps thou art one of the Pampe dithlans who can make an elephant pars through the eye of a needle.** St. Louis Shaft to Laclede. Pierre Laclede, founder of St. Louis nearly 100 years ago, like De Soto be fore him, died on the MlsslsslpiJI river. He was buried on shore somewhere near the mouth of the Arkansas, but companions who went later to dlalnter his remains found that the river had washed them away, giving Laclede his last resting plnce In the body of water which had been so closely associated with his life, says the Detroit News. Laclede, a native Frenchman, sold his chateau In thtJ shadow of the Pyre nees to acquire the means to come to the New World. He went Qrst to New Orleans, where he fought in the Colonial wars. Then he sailed up the Missis sippi" to find a location "for a" trading post, and coming upon this site, knew that his quest was finished. . A monument to Leclede's memory was recently unveiled In St. Louis. A Success Secret. The secret of nature's success is pa tience. A naturalist may go out into the wood 8 to study the birds.
