There^s usually time for a good night s rest, with a gentle, thorough action next morning relieving constipation's headaches, biliousness, sour stomach, bad breath. BLACK-DRAUGHT is a splendid combination of vegetable ingredients, chief of which is an "intestinak tonic-laxative" that helps impart tone to lazy bowel muscles.

Sept. 28?The 11*41 pro?l>oct u a of arterial highways which, pisay may one day save, America from warlike invasion is on its way to President's Roosevelt's desk bristling with super-defense plans. It proposes 24-foot widths for major roads, shoulders ton feet wide, alternate right and left parking spaces 2.0OO \Set long at two mile Intervals, auxiliary roads paralleling heavy duty military routes and flight strips for aircraft contact with moving units. The prospectus is the work of military and civil authorities and calls for an immediate start by federal and state governments on a vast program to prepare 76,000 miles of existing key roads and 1,800 bridges for mass movement of great mechanized and motorized troops units and supplies at top speed. . Representative Wtlburn Cartwright (D-Okla), chairman of The house roads committee, says this nation's future existence as a democracy might j depend largely on the soundness and practicability of its new national defense highway program. 'If any country plans an attack on us tihey most likely will make it in the next year or two before we are fully prepared," he said. "The (highway) program is uimed at elimination of critical weaknesses and toward construction of approaches to places of military importance. "Our military experts tell us that the strengthening of all weak links in tiho strategic system is most import-: ant in preventing delay in preparation | for defense and that should defense become necessary any considerable number of weak links might lead toi disastrous consequences. "Work that (state highway officials) , have been planning to spread over a period of years must now be undertaken and finished as soon as possible. An attack on this country is consider-! ed most unlikely -if we are moderately well prepared to meet it." I | Officials said the future arteries of | cross country traffic proposed to the president would outstrip the efficiency of Nazi Germany's vaunted "autobahnen" over which Hitler's legions roared to lightning victory during his j central European blitzkrieg. Mr. Roosevelt had the lessons of Poland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and France in mind, authorities said, when he directed John M. Carmody, the federal works administrator, to confer with the war and navy departments, the public roads administration and with state highway departments in preparing the prospectus. Carmody'b aides said that only minor details remained unfinished and that the completed draft would reach the White House probably by October 15. They said that, contrary to early expectation, the plan was not to build new highways on a grand scale. The plan en route to the president contemplates vltalization of the historic "Pershinig map" of 1022 the first national planning of a system of national defense highways by military experts headed by the vVorld war commander of the American expeditionary force. Carmody said the vast majority o the road surfaces and the bridges to be strengthened, widened and straightened came within the regular federalaid system and with few exceptions were the roads most needed in normal peacetime pursuits. Military reconditioning, he said, will be financed from $259,195,GOO of federal-aid funds which congress made available until the end of the 1943 fiscal year plus state-funds contributed on a dollar-to-dollar basis. In addition, the prospectus calls for construction of 3,112 miles of new roads within and leading to military establishmeta and centers of industrial and population centers. This work, officials said, would be asked of the work projects administration and is expected to coat about $202,000,000. The WPA probably will also concentrate on construction of road shoulders and on un paved parallel roads which could be pressed into public service when arterial highways near great cities are filled to capacity with military activities. In event of foreign invasion, authorities said these auxiliary roads would prevent the confusion recently experienced by France when congested ma " ?" ~? Seedlings Available Now To Planters Fifteen million forest tree seedlings have finished eight months growth at the Sumter and Ooorgolown nurseries at the State Forest Service end after November 15 they will be ready for planting, advises the Slate Forester. 'ihey consist of the fast growing slash pine and the sturdy longleaf pine. Iloth of these trees also produce gum which is made into turpeutluo and rosin. Tho loblolly pine may also he secured and this is considered the faateat growing Southern pine. Shortloaf pine is also available us well as white a ah, yellow poplar and black locust. Tho prices of seedlings 1? $1.50'per thousand if called for at the nurseries or $2.00 per thousand, which includes prepaid shipping charges If sent by parcel post or express to any point in South Carolina. Unfilled orders from last year aggregate over five million trees, therefore, ten million trees are available to tree planters during the present year. In view of this large carry over of orders It is essential that persons who desire to make sure of getting trees place their orders at the earliest moment with tho district foresters at Aikt^, Spartanburg, Camden, Florence, and Walterboro. Orders may also be placed with the County Agents. Where trees are to be planted with a view of obtaining AAA soil building payments the County Agent must be contacted in order to determine whether the planting comes under this category. Ordinarily it requires one thousand trees to plant an acre and the labor cost runs from one to two dollars an acre, advises the State Forest Service. movement of civilian populations clogged military avenues and brought a great many defense operations to a disastrous standstill. Officials warned, however, that the prospectus of highway improvement to meet defense needs during the "immediately critical years" eventually must be expanded If tho nation la to achieve an ideal system for either defense or normal civil needs. It will not solve all of the problems of congestion on main highways through cities, they said, nor does it provide a fully adequate system of Interregional roads. But they, assured. It "Is a step in the right direction." They said the most conspicuous shortcoming Is the condition of some 1,800 bridges that are not strong enough to carry the standard loadings of normal commercial traffic. These are to be re-enforced. More than 15,000 others will be tested to determine whether, as claimed, they can carry 50-ton tanks spaced 50-feet apart and proceeding at not more than 4 miles an hour. , The pjBospectus points out that all road surfaces on the strategic system should be dustless and capable of eupporling 9,000-pound wheel loads under any weather conditions. Such surfaces loss than 18 feet wide should be widened Immediately, experts said to at least 22 to 24 feet where large volumes of traffic are expected. : Sharp curves, steep grades and oth' er features of former road-bullding which might delay and endanger expeditious movement of troops and civilians are to be eliminated. ! Call, also, for minimum 8-foot to 10foot widening of shoulders to permit ( the parking of a train of vehicles halted for rest or repair of supplies. As a minimum requirement, officials said, it is desired that parking spaces be provided for a distance of 2,000 feet at least every four miles. The widened sections on the two sides of the road 1 should be staggered so that cavalcades could stop, right or left, at least every two miles without interruption I of moving traffic. | The result of all this, authorities said, would be a great system of highways reaching to every part of the , country that Is of the greatest value In all of the defense operations now ! underway. 1 Every arms and munitions plant, every military concentration point and ?very Industry supplying them then could make continuous intensive use of such highways. In Berlin, dog and cat owners can't take their pets Into air raid shelters when British warblrds hover overhead.
