We fail to see the wisdom of
the legislature in appropriating
more money than the state is
able to pay. Why not let the
state pay up what it owes before
running still further in debt?

“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re
ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
f liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
■ they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without
BLack-FraughT
in my home.” For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi-
ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar S
ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
reliable, gentle and valuable remedy.
# If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Black- #
Draught It is a medicine of known merit Seventy-five ®
years of splendid success proves its value. Good for v
young and old. For sale everywhere. Price 25 cents.

Delectable may be good in
the connection used, but at
any rate we know what Edi

to endorse what he says. So
far the cuss who takes a pa

has never been classified.

All of which is very true. The
only way to deal with the delin
quent subscriber is to wipe him

IT IS SERIOUS

The constant aching of a bad back,
The weariness, the tired feeling,
The pains and aches of kidney ills

Mrs. J. R. Thurston, Brook wood
Ave., Jackson, says: “I strained my
back while house-cleaning and my kid
neys became overtaxed. I suffered so
that 1 had to put pillows under my
back and I was so sore that I couldn’t
stoop over. My kidneys felt as though
they were swollen. The kidney secre
tions caused me much annoyance. I
procured Doans’ Kidney pills from
Slaton Drug Cos. and they relieved the
pains in my back and all symptoms of
kidney trouble disappeared.”
