AVOIDS
SERIOUS SICKNESS
By Being Constantly Supplied
With Thedford's Black
Draught.

McDuff, Va.-"I suffered for several
years." says Mrs. J. B. Whitaker, of
this place, with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to
try Thedford's Black-Draught, which I
did, and found it to be the best fami-
ly medicine for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hand all
the time now, and when my children
feel little bad, they ask me for a
dose, and it does them more good than
any medicine they ever tried.
We never have long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenc-
ed using Black-Draught."
Thedford's Black -Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu-
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re-
lieve indigestion, collie, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar
symptoms.
1t has been in constant use for more
than 10 years, and has benefited more
than q million people.

tied large number of recipes for the
making of home baked products with
fewer eggs, and these recipes are be-
ing distributed gratis. 1t is claimed
that they prove conclusively that the
baking powder saves eggs-in some
cakes about half the cost of the cake
is saved. In recipes calling for the
use of eggs, the number can be re-
duced and excellent results-healthful,
appetizing cakes, mullins, corn bread,
etc.-obtained by using small addi-
tional quantity, about teaspoon, of
Royal Baking powder in place of each
egg omitted.
The acme, or top-notch achievement,
in this connection is an eggless, milk
less, BUTTERFLIES cake that is pronounc-
ed by all who have tasted it to be de-
licious and wholesome. Its appetizing
quality, it is claimed, will be surpris-
ing to the housewife who tries it ac-
cordng to the recipe given.
The idea of using more Royal bak-
ing powder and less eggs in baking
is not entirely new, but the elaborate
enlargeing and perfecting of the idea
just accomplished renders it very
present help, meeting the necessities
OF the housewife of moderate means in
time of 81 airing food prices.
In the British Isles the news has
been received with enthusiasm. The
baking powder company, while not
being accused of being an out-and-
out philanthropist in the matter, is
pointed out as having provided the
means of effecting an enormous saw
ing in household affairs in a way that
benefits everybody and harms nobody
except it be the pride of the auto
cratic hen. The company only conf
pleted its experiments recently, and
already the announcements are being
spread broadcast in the newspapers,
which, it will be remembered, many
years ago made the name of Royal
Baking Poyder a household word all
over the world.

BIG THIRST AHEAD
FOR SOUTH DAKOTA
Bone Dry" Prohibition Will
Become Effective Next
July.
Patent Medicines Conts aiming Alcohol to
be Barred-A Commissioner ofPro-
hibition with Deputies to
Enfovce Law.

The law signed recently by Gov.
Norbeck of South Dakota for State
wide prohibition after July 1 next is
one of the most stringent prohibition
measures enacted by any State. Bone
dry" scarcely describes the measure,
which is even more stringent than So
called "bone dry" laws of other States.
The law defines as intoxicating IL
quors all distilled, spirituous, vinous,
malt, brewed and fermented liquors,
and any other mixture or compound
which may be used as a beverage,
whether or not it is proprietary,
medicated or patented. 1t is believ-
ed that under the terms of the law
many patent medicines which contain
alcohol and which have been common
among the stocks of all drug stores
cannot be sold.
Soliciting orders for Intoxicating
liquors as a first offense is a misde-
meanor, and a second violation is a
felony. The law prohibits any adver-
tising of liquors in newspapers or
other publications within the State,
and prohibits the sale of any maga-
zine, paper or periodical within the
State if it contains liquor advertis-
ing. Members of clubs or associa-
tions which attempt to sell or give
away or distribute among their mem
bers intoxicating liquors are equal.

demeanor, the second a felony.
Close Tabs on Druggists.

wholesalers within the State, wher,
a check can be kept upon the amour
of purchases.

THE EGGLESS CAKE.
High Cost of Living Reduced by Sew
Millions.

The prestige of the hen is being cur
tailed in new and interesting way.
She lays billion eggs or so for the
human race each year, and, under
world war conditions, the price of eggs
per dozen to consumers had approach
ed dollar in some parts of the Unit
ed States, and has reached the prohib-
tive price of two dollars or more in
the beligerent countries.
Therefore when the high cost of liv-
ing looms large in the public eye, unu-
sual Importance is attached to the an
nouncement of the best known baking
powder company in the world that it
has evolved a ready and practical way
for the housewife to save, in the ag-
gregate, many millions of dollars in
household expenses through the use Of
more Royal Baking Powder and less
eggs.

AFTER 4 YEARS
 IN DUNGEON HE'LL
 M|NGLE WITH MEN
While in Solitary Confine- ment Pomeroy Learned to
 Read Seven Languages.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 24.--Jesse M, fomefoy, who has been for 4 years III solitary confinement Tn the state prlson at Charleston, was granted equal privileges with other prisoners py the state executive council today.
 ConVlcted of murder when 15 years of age. Pomeroy two years later was locked in cell lighted by window m the ceiling, so that he might not gaze on his fellow men. He was ex- efclsed apart from other prisoners and was barred as far as possible from hu- man companonship.
 Now. at the age of y, Pomeroy will De moved into a cell where he can sec passerby, and will be allowed to cxer- else with other prisoners, sit with them at church and at the prison en- 1ertainment and will be given some llght work of such nature as his soms- what weak build will permit.
 Pomeroy was convicted of the brutal murder of two children following a series of degenerate acts which had terrorlzed the South Boston and Dor chester districts of this city. He was sentenced to be hanged but because of his youth. the sentence was com muted. On September z, 1876 he was placed in the solitary cell, but he did not drop out of the public eye, because of his numerous sensational attempts to escape
 Pomeroy's mother until her death two years ago, never ceased her ef- forts to have him pardoned and was allowed to visit him regularly. Pom- eroy who has learned to read in seven languages during his prison life, is now studying Arabic. He has been studying law diligently since his last attempt to escape, four years ago.
