Colds & Headache
"For years we have used Black-Draught In our family,
and I have never found any medicine that could take its
place,’* writes Mr. H. A. Stacy, of Bradyville,Tenn. Mr. Sta-
S >, who is a Rutherford County farmer, recommends Black-
raught as a medicine that should be kept in every house
hold tor use in the prompt treatment of many little ills to pre
vent them from developing into serious troubles.
THEDFORD’S
BLACK-DRAUGHT
“it touches the liver and does the work,” Mr. Stacy
declared. "It is one of the best medicines I ever saw for a
cold and headache. I don’t know what we would do in our
family if it Wasn’t for Black-Draught It has saved ns many
dollars ... I don’t see how any family can hardly go with
out It I know it is a reliable and splendid medicine to keep
in the house. I recommend Black-Draught highly and am
never without it.”

While we are on the question of
taxation, I will say if there isn’t a
change of front on the mad expendi
tures of tax money it is sure to cause
a revolution. This very issue has
been one of the prime factors in near
ly every revolution the world has ever
had. Over taxes are like the direc
tions on the bottle of patient medi
cine, internally and externally and
eternally.
While we are alive and well we are
taxed by the food trust, the shoe
trust, the steel trust. When we get
sick we are turned over to the Drs.’
trust—when we die we are turned
over to the undertakers trust, he turns

“Drive Between
Cleveland and
Buffalo By Water”
“Paradoxical as it may sound, the
water route is the best one to take
when motoring between Cleveland and
Buffalo,” is the advice of every well
informed touring bureau. There are
three serious detours on the route
between Cleveland and Buffalo; one of
sixteen miles between East Spring-
field and Girard, Pa., one between
Northeast, Pa., and the New York
State line and the other in the vincin-
ity of Fredonia, N. Y.
Tourists may escape the unpleasant

Third Divorce at 91;

he announced last week after he had
obtained a divorce from his third wife.
“The women are getting worse every
generation,” he said. “My first wife
was pretty good, my second was medi
um, and the third was no good at
all. Women are no longer home-

THE U. S.USCO TREAD
Here is the U. S. Usco Trend,
with a long-established standard
of Bervica among motorists who
have an aye to value, as well as
to price. While selling for less than
the other tires in the U. S. Fabric
line, the Usco has earned a repu
tation for quality and dependable
economy which is not exceeded
by any tiro in its class.

X the biggest conundrum is the
fabric tire situation.
Around 70% of all car owners
use fabric tires.
Their instinct for quality is as
strong and insistent as any one
else’s.
Why, then, are they offered
such hodge-podge stocks of "dis
count tires,” “odd lots,” “seconds,”
“retreads” and other so-called
bargains 6f uncertain origin?
* * *
Sooner or later the public al
ways seeks out quality. As a
matterof self-protection—if for
no other reason. The out-and-out
opinion in favor of U. S. Fabric
Tires has spread more this year
than it ever did.
People have gotten very close to
the U.S. policy. Felt it. Benefited
by it. And passed the word along.
It’s a policy settled to onestand-
ard for all U. S. Tires. Whether
fabrics or cords. Small sizes or
large.

The nets and flies have worried
us so until we are going to tell you
about it readers, feeling sure of the
facts that they are not half as plenti
ful no where else as they are here.
One of the most enjoyable affairs of
the season was an old time Perlieu
given by the Lynn Glee Club and at
tended by them 'and their friends,
scores of invitations were mailed out
to those liveing off where word could
not reach them. Each boy member
of the club was asked to bring
chicken, while the girls were to fur
nish the rice. Did) they fail to
bring it? Not in the least. Two
large wash pots were in readiness
when the crowd began to gather,
each package was turned over to two
good old colored women, who looked
after the cooking. The crowd which
must have numbered between two and
three hundred people of all ages, size
and certainly in beauty, made merry
by playing games, singing, walking
and any thing for the past time, while
the poridge was steaming and caus
ing an appetite to come on them that
was certainly cured by the amount
those two pots contained, everybody
filled, and 'twas like the old Biblical
Story, the colored folks who were
helping by cooking, and keeping the
fires burning, gathered up baskets
full, enough to have feed perhaps a
hundred more.
We can repeat the above some night,
suggested by the Club, either by a
Perlieu, Chicken Fry, Moonlight Pic
nic, or just anything you folks sug
gest.
