A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says Thi,
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chils, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
Of this place, writes: II am a user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; In fact,
1t was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when l
was a child. When any Of US child.
ren complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Black -Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles Of this kind, we
would take Black .Draught pretty reg.
ular until tho liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for 1t certainly has saved us lots OF
doctor bills. Just dose OF Black
D-aught when not so well saves
lot Of days in bed"
Thedford's ack.Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat
ment OF stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys Is proof Of It's merit
If your liver Is not doing Its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless something Is done, serious
trouble may result
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found q valuable remedy for these
troubles. 1t is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels OF
Impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thed.

Hilary attraction whereby soil moisture
is drawn to the surface and evaporated.
When the garden crops begin to show
in their rows it is time to start hoeing
and cultivating them, and too much
stress cannot be laid upon the impor-
lance of this. Those who first saw the
results of hoeing thought them miracu-
lous and exclaimed that hoeing is
manure. And so it is, and water too.
1t is much better to save the moisture
in the soil than to water the garden
frequently with the hose.
The hoe also kills the weed, which
is the growing crops deadly foe. The
weed roots not only steal plant food
and moisture from the roots of the
valued vegetable, but they harbor
plant diseases and also act as homes
for insects destructive to garden
plants. In a garden weed should
never be seen.

Shortage of Shipping Makes
the Plan Impracticable.
Immediately
OBJECTION RAISED
BY GENERAL STAFF
Both France and Britain Argue That
American Soldiers at the Front Would
Result in Encouragement to the Ger
man Army

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The United
States stands ready to send an army
to Europe whenever the allies deem it
wise to divert the necessary shipping
from transporting food to transport
ing men.
1t became known definitely today
that the government has offered the
allies troops, but has suggested that
the alarming shortage of world ship
ping may make it impractical to send
them at once. In spite of objection
of the general staff to putting any
American forces on the firing line be-
fore the great army has been raised
and trained, the administration has de-
termiaed that the small contingent
earnestly desired by France for moral
effect shall be sent as soon as possible.
The general belief here is that the
way soon will be found.
Whether the force first to carry the
Stars and Stripes into battle in France
shall be made up OF regulars or ma
tional guardsmen or both has not been
worked out. The subject was not dis
eussed at yesterday 5 cabinet meeting.
but Secretary Baker remained after
ward for a conference with President
Wilson.
State department officials have con
tinuously urged the sending OF an ar
my, solely for its psychological effect
d, OF not only encouraging the allied
troops but of discouraging the Ger
mans. Convinced that the diplomatic
| advantages far outweighed the tech,
meal and training difficulties advanced
| by the general staff, they have felt
that such step would eonseerate the
/ United States as full member OF
the alliance entitled to a most hon
orable seat at the peace conference.
Some of those who have vigorously
opposed an early expeditionary fore,
as interfering with the training of !
larger army. have modified their, view.
as a result of arguments advanced by
the military experts with the French
commission here that training can b,
much better carried ONT in Frame,
within the sound of guns. Neverthe
less, the opposition of the staff ha
not wavered.
The amount of tonnage that woult
be required for transport is usual,
put at about 20 tons per man in FIJI
ly equipped force. For the recall
American unit of $4,000 men naari,
half million tons therefore uouId ID
necessary, or ships about equal 10 th
eized German tonnage in Aincsica
waters. 1t remains for the allies to fia
surc out if they can afford to diver
that amount of shipping.
Little doubt exists that the Frea,l
will gladly put up with any sacrife
necessary to have American troops i
France as the great plea of their mis
t sion has been for troops with til
American flag.
The British are also known to b
anxious to have American troops i
) France as a final earnest of Anne iea
participation. but there is q reason t
believe that they have taken some
! what more detached view than til
