strange as it may sound, I saw no
evidence of liquor anywhere, except
one man who was drunk. The peo

let liquor alone and I saw none of
it and heard little about it. I at

there and 1 tell you it is a live wire
bunch.
“Mrs. Davenport and I made a
boat trip down the St. Johns river,
the most beautiful sight 1 have ever
seen; it was magnificent. The whole
two weeks was a wonderful outing,
but I am glad to get back to Ameri

"THE KID”
By W. M. Hcrschell.
I The kid has gone to the colors,
And we don’t know what to say.
1 The kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped ouj/for the flag today.
; We thought nim a child, a baby,
i With neve- a care at all,
But hsi country called h.m man size,
An-1 the kid has heard the call.
. He paused to watt h the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum.
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered
“Come !•’’
The kid, not being a slacker,
Stood forth with patriot joy -
i To add his name to the roster—
And, God, we’re proud of the boy!

than Black-Draught when suffering

It Is easy and sure. Can be taken in

When you have sick stomach, Indi

other disagreeable symptoms, take
Black-Draught to help keep your
system free from poison.
Thedford's Black-Draught Is made
from purely vegetable ingredients,

no bad after-effects. It may be safely
taken by young or old.
