COL. CASTOR APPEALS
TO EMPLOYERS
Urges Then to Train Young Men In
Deferred Classes for Mechan.
iCal Work

Sol William A. CASTOR, head Of
the Public Service Reserve in Massa-
chusetts, has found that young men
in deferred draft classes are having
difficulties in conforming to the work
or fight" regulation because employ
ers refuse to give them jobs owing to
their lack of mechanical training.
These young men, who are married
or otherwise supporting dependent
relatives, have been forced out OF
their jobs in stores and elsewhere by
the draft regulation providing that
they must be engaged in productive
work. The consequence is that they
have been placed in a serious posi-.
tion, which Col. CASTOR is endeavor
ing to improve.
He has issued patriotic appeal tc
employers in Massachusetts to give
these young men employment, regard
less of their inexperience. He sug'
gests that it is one way by which
manufacturers can do their part II

They weakened me and seemed to

] heard Of BIaek-Draught and de-
cided to try it. I found it just what I
needed. It was an easy laxative, and
not bad to swallow. My digestion soon
improved. I got well of the sour stom-
aeh, my bowels soon seemed normal,
no more gripping, and would take a
dose now and then, and was in good
shape.
I cannot say too much for Black
Draught for it is the finest laxative
one can use"

many years been found of great value

and reliable in its action, leaving no

Six of the leading society ladies
of Ocala will appear for the first
time in ebony face and occupy the
end positions of a typical upto-date
minstrel circle. Now, the real names
of these ladies will not be advertised,
but they will appear incognito as the
following negro imitators who have
amused and graced the stages in our
largest cities, as Maude Delmar Tril-
byanna, Johnsing Cynthia Primrose,
Lilly Belle White, Glorianna Dock
stader Adah Jones. These ladies will
be the real fun makers of the min
strel, furnish the rag songs and
dances. Ard their jokes will be at
the expense of the we'll known socie-
ty and business men and will be laugh
producers and will make the bravest
duck his head.
Much amusement centers around
Peter Pan, who is the interlocutor
and the part will be taken by ]. Pearle
Rogers, who will occupy the center
and cary the performance through
with professional swing.
