C. 45-tf STO MAC TROU BLE Mr. Marion Holcomb of Nancy, Ky., says: "For quite a long while I suffered With stomach trouble. I would have pains anld 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 befan 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 BA ADRAUU 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 vork of throwing out waste materials and poisons from the sys tem. This medicine should be in every household for use in time of need. Get a package today. if you feel shiggish, take a dose tonight. You will feel fresh to morrow. Price 25c a package. All druggists. ONE CENT A DOSE U -8 I N06 -V' They coluld be buil now71 for twILeCepito When the talk turns from politics to railroads, and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks in with, "There's an awful lot of 'water' in the railroads," here are some hard-pan facts to give him: American railroads have cost 10,900 a mile --roadbed, structures, stations, yards, termin als, freight and passenger trains-everything from the great city terminals to the last spike. A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs $36,000 a mile-just a bare road, not count ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc. Our railroads couldn't be duplicated to.. day for $150,000 a mile. They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile much less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars today will buy one locomQtive. English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000; even in Canada (still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for all foreign countries is $100,000. Low capitalization and high operating effici ency have enabled American Railroads to pay the highest wages while charging the lowest rates. qhis advertisement is published by the 2ssociation oftSicailway 6xecutives Those desiring Information coneerning the railroad situation nay obtain litera:urehy writing t The A ssceiation of Railway Isec s, 61 iroadway, Nen York "ARTIE" By DORA MOLLAN (@, 1920, by McClure Newspaper SyndIcate.)
