STOMACH TROUBLE
Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: “For quite
a long while I suffered with stomacn trouble. 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 began 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
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. Ido 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-,
tern. This 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

ONE CENT A DOSE u
Elfin Miners.
All over Europe a popular belief
prevails that elfin miners are con
stantly laboring In the bowels of tlie
mountains, where they have accumu
lated enormous stores of precious met*
als. Jn Wales they are called “knock
ers.” They make strange noises, and
the tapping of their picks muy often
be heard in ors bodies not yet reached
by the human workmen.
As to Our Looks.
“Improved photography,” remarked
the man on the car, “has given us
the mistaken notion that we are bet
ter looking than our ancestors.”
Why Meat Prices Vary
in Different Stores
Prime .teem $19.9<H520.35
Good to choice steers 17.00^19.86
Common to medium 5teer5........ 10.76(6,16.75
Yearlings, fair to fancy 16.00&1990
Fat cows and heifers 8.^5^15.35
Canning cows and heifers 7.26(0 8.25
Bulls, plain to best ••••••• 6.50(^-12.50
Poor to fancy calves 6.76^-16.75
Western range steers 10.00^18.60
These newspaper quotations
represent live cattle prices in
Chicago on December 30th, 1918.
The list shows price ranges
on nine general classified groups
with a spread of $13.85 per cwt.
—the lowest at $6.50 and the
highest at $20.35.
Why this variation in price?
Because the meat from differ
ent animals varies greatly in
quality and weight.
Although the quotations
shown are in nine divisions,
Swift & Company grades cattle
into 34 general classes, and each
class into a variety of weights
and qualities.
Asa result of these differences in
cattle prices, (due to differences in
weights and meat qualities), there is a
range of 15 cents in Swift &. Com
pany’s selling prices of beef car- .
casses.
These facts explain:
1— Why retail prices vary in
different stores.
2 Why it would be difficult to
regulate prices of cattle or
beef.
3 it requires experts to
judge cattle and to sell meat,
so as to yield the profit of
only a fraction of a cent a
pound—a profit too small to
affect prices.

To Clean Lamp Glasses.
When cleaning lamp glasses hold
them over the steam from a teakettle,
then rub them with a dry newspaper
folded up into a wad, and, lastly, with
a soft cloth, and they will be all that
can be desired.
Fitting Expiring Sentiments.
To Vespasian is attributed as an ex
piring sentiment, “An emperor should
die standing!” which seems tc have
appealed to two sixteenth-century Eng
lish bishops—Woolton, whose Inst ut
terance is recorded as, “A bishop
ought to die on his legs,” and Sewell,
who declared, “A bishop should die
preaching.”

Fire Which Threatened To Become
Serious Followed The
Crash

twenty persons, mostly women and
girls, were killed and more than a
score others injured here, when a ter
rific explosion wrecked a Him exr

The building in which the explo

and many of those Injured received
their hurts by jumping from the up
per floors. Persons in the vicinity
when the explosion shook the district
say that prior to the upheaval a dense
cloud of black smoke poured from the
lower floor. Then came tlie terrific
report, shattering windows and cast
ing many persons on the interior of
the structure to the street.
More States Vote For Dry Measure
Chicago.—Three more states rati
fied the proposed prohibition amend
ment, making a total of nineteen
states that have indorsed the proposal
of congress. While the proposed ad
dition to tlie basic law was ratified by
the legislatures of Ohio, Colorado and
Oklahoma, representatives of the dis
tillery companies met in Chicago and
decided to oppose both the amendment
and the war prohibition law by all
legal means.

About
Gone
Many thousands of
women suffering from
■womanly trouble, have
been benefit'd by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, aocording to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell,
of Hayne, N. C. “I could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,”
she says. “As my suf
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. had us
get Cardui. . . I began
improving, and it cured
me. I know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health ’ were
about gone.”
TAKE
CARDIII
The Woman’s Tome
She writes furttnefr **l

can do my work. 1 feel 1
owe it to Cardui, for I was
In dreadful condition.”
If you are nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the good it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine. Think what it means
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Ciive
Cardui a trial.

TORNADO INSURANCE
Your neighbor’s home burned only a few days or months ago, and a
cyclone is likely to strike this section at any time, so INSURE with US
anl lie down at night with a clear conscience and a peaceful mind. Don’t
DELAY. It may mean the loss of your home. Any man can build a home
once. A WISE man insures his property in a reliable insurance company
so that when calamity comes he can build again. He owes the protection
that it gives, to ihs peace of mind and the care of his loved ones.

As Balzac Depicted Man.
Balzac’s object in writing the nuru
erous volumes that succeeded each
other with an astounding regularity
was to depict man as lie presented
hmiself to his view, and, in fact, in
his works he brings to life again the
history of the generation to which he
belongs, describing his contemporaries,
In particular the humble bourgeois of
the middle class, with a most striking
exactness.
No Detriment.
Yeast —I see that blond typewriter
of yours chews gum.
Crimsonbeak —Yes, I’ve noticed
that.
“And don’t you think It Interferes
with her work?’’
“By no means. I had one before her
who didn't chew gum, and her spelling
was quite as bad.”
Merits of Wooden Bam I Obvious.
A barrel cnn be relied. This is its
greatest merit, says Popular Science
Monthly. Every other shape* of "on
talner which weighs over n hundred
pounds when filled, must be lifted bod
ily and carried on a hand truck or by
hoisting machinery. One man can un
load a carload of sugar—2oo barrels
of It —in less than an hour. Don’t yuU
wish it were at your door? No other
container can be handled at this rate,
even by two men working at top speed.
Rare Quality.
To be abie to summon courage
enough to one’s own
wrong-doing is to be possessed of qual
ities that raise humanity to the plane
of the angels, observes a writer. The
man who has this coarng* in the high
est degree “cannet la the world be
singly counterpoised.’’
