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

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: 81 am user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
It was one Of our family medicines
Also in my mothers home, when l
was a child. When any of us child
rem complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose Of BIack-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 the 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 a dose Of Black
D-aught when not SO well saves q
lot of days in bed
Thedfords Black-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 its 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 a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It 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 it. Insist on Thed'
ford's. the original and genuine. 3 79

old, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
Buckley. He departed this life Jun
20, 1917.
We miss thee from our home, dear boy
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow DER our life is cast.
We miss the sunshine of thy face,
We miss the kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee
We miss thee everywhere.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.

The boon His love had given,
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven.

NOT ONE PASSENGER
KILLED BY SOUTHERN

Washington, July 7.-Fairfar Harr1-
con, President of Southern Railway
company, announced today that out

srs handled by the Southern Railway
for the fiscal year ended June 90,
1917, not a Gngel one was killed. The
@ana cement takes the utmost salts
faction in this achievement which 1t
has sought to attain, anS nearly, but
not quite, attained for several years
past. It reflects not only greater hu-
man care and efficiency in operation,
bat the improved facilities which
have been progressively installed on
the Southern in recent years.
The handling of these eighteen mill
lions of passengers required 71,779
trains, composed of the average num-
Der OF passenger cars seating u pas
sengers each; it means 24S,7S0 pas
Senger cars.
If these passenger trains stood end
10 end on the railroad tracks they
would extend for 5,457 miles; more
than six times the distance from At

that these passengers were carried he

RUSSIA FACING
ECONOMIC RUIN
INDUSTRIAL CRISIS Is so ACUTE
THAT ONLY MIRACLE CAN
SAVE COUNTRY.
NAY BRING WAR TO 4 CLOSE
Demands Of Workmen So Enormous Il
Seems Impossible to Keep Industrial
Wheels Observation-Disclosures Of FL
nance Speaks.

Petrograd. via London.-The indus.
trail crisis In Russia is 80 acute that,
according to a recent utterance Of the
Minister Of Finance. M. ShingaroT,
only miracle can save the country
from economic ruin. The demands OF
the workmen were SO enormous, he
declared. that 1t seemed impossible to
keep the industrial wheels going for
any great length Of time.
The Socialist ministers at a recent
ministerial council said that the only
possibility they saw of settling the
difficulty was to bring the war to a
close.
Neither the coalition Cabinet nor
the newly appointed Commission to
regulate the difficulties between CAPT.
tai and labor has yet found a way to
settle the industrial crisis. The Com
mission is composed of the Ministers
OF Finance, trade and industry and
labor, but since there is a wide diver
gence Of views between the Minister
OF Finance and the new Socialistic
Minister Of Labor. it seems probable
that this Commission will be confront.
ed with the same difficulties that at
tended previous efforts at reconcilia-
ton.
An investigation Of the factory con-
ditions in Petrograd leads to the
alarming. but inevitable, conclusion
that unless the Government soon finds
means Of adjusting the present diff
hculties, most Of the industrial enter
prises working for National defepsc
will be compelled to close within few
months. An investigation shows that
virtually the same difficulties prevail
In all the big factories in Petrograd
and apparently authenticated reports
from the Moscow, Donets and Ural dis
trtcts indicate general disorganization.
In many Of the factories, the demands
by the wworkmen for increased wages
are actually greater than the entire
profits Of the factories under the best
conditions Of production.

The raid. which claimed the lives
of 76 persons and caused injury to

any raid made on England since the
beginning Of the war.
