Nancy, Ky.-Mrs. Cora Waddle, a

statement: IT have taken Black
Draught and found it to be the best
liver medicine I ever used. 1t has
just been fine for indigestion, sour
stomach and a bitter taste in the
mouth.
I used to get bilious and constipated
and had to take something. Pills and
other strong medicines would only tear
my stomach up and leave me in a worse
fix than before taking. 1 began to
have sick headache.
After learning of Black-Draught l
! took it and was cured Of sick head
aches. One or two doses a week, or
a pinch after meals, kept the bowels
, open and took away all bile. I have a
, good appetite, due to my use Of Black
Draught."
If your liver is not acting properly
you may suffer from such symptoms
as headache, biliousness, constipation,
indigestion, ETC., and unless relief Is

ship drive during the past few weeks.
Mrs. Long captained one side and
Mrs. Foltz the other. At the end
of the drive it was discovered that
Mrs. Longs side was the loser, so it
befell them to entertain the winners.
This was brought about Wednesday
night, when the regular meeting
night was utilized as Halloween
party, coming as it did so near this
annual holiday. The guests who
were accompanied by their hus-
bands, appeared in costume at the
hall and were met at the foot of the
stairs by a ghostly figure, who di-
rected them to follow the rope. This
led to the door of the dressing room
where another ghost greeted them
with a clammy handshake and made
them welcome. COLLINS fitted about
the room and assisted the guests in
removing the wraps, after which they
were directed into the hall by lit
tie red imp The hall was beautiful
ly decorated with all the appurte-
nances attributed to Halloween, and
lighted by jack-o-lanterns. A very
entertaining program was presented
at first. For this Mrs. B. Edwards
sang the Goblin Song. She was
followed by Mr. Pendegast, who sang
and gave a reading, Miss Mabel ia
cobs sang and played ard Miss Brook
miller gave a vocal solo. After the
program the guests played games,
among which they tested their for
tunes with a bran pudding. Lovely
refreshments were served at late
hour, and the party broke up wish

would lose frequently, as they proved
such delightful entertain
