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.

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.

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

BALD HEADS AT PEACE TABLE
Many Diplomats Had Whiskers and
Mustaches, but Lacked Hair
on Their Craniums.
An amusing sidelight on the recent
pence conference at Versailles Is
thrown by a correspondent, who not
only reported the proceedings proper,
but took notes regarding the hair,
irustacires. beards and whiskers of the
penceincnkers.
'Two-thirds of the delegates were
more or less baid. Perihps some of
