 Relieved Him

Chickasha, Okla.-Mrs. J. w. Walker recently said this: We use Black Draught as family medicine and think it is the only liver medicine made. My husband makes it up and uses it as a tonic as well as a laxative. I use it for headache, sour stomach, a full. heavy feeling after meals. which I suppose is indisestion, and it certainly does me a lot of good.
 My husband had some kind of ston- ach trouble--we don't know just what It would strike him just any time in the day and cramp or pain him just ter ribly bad Someone told him how to make a tea of the Black-Draught, which he did. It did him so much good. it re- moved the cause and cured him. Since then we have praised the eBlack-Draught to our friends. and gladly do so."
 Seventy years of successful use has made Thedford's Black-Draught a standard, household remedy. Every member of the family at times needs the help that Black -Draught can give in cleansing the system and preventing or relieving the troubles that come from constipation. indigestion. lazy liver etc.

HURLEY ASKS BIC
 SUM ID WIND UP
 SH|PBU|LD|NG PLAN
Wants. Only. S6OO,OOO,0 ,0OO More Appropriated to Place United States In
 First Place
By Associated rrsss


 Washington, June S.-Chairman Hurley of the shipping board has asked Con- gross for a final appropriation of a little more than ssoo.ooO 900 tu wind up the gov ernment's shipbuilding operations.
 This sum, he says which will complete the work of raising the United States as shipbuilding nation to first place in the world and developed the American mer- cantile marine fleet from a negligible quantity to second place. actually is $4OO, 100000 less than Congress already has authorized
 The present needs of the shipbuildins programme, as Chairman Hurley outlines them, take into consideration the can cellation of suspension of contracts for 754 ships which alone will effect a saving of more than S594.000,000.
 The administration charges of the whole business will be only 1.32 per cent of the total final expenditure.
 When all is done Chairman Hurley points out in a letter to Chairman Good of the House appropriations committee, $2,S61, 755,570 will have been expended in the country's great effort which will be shown in 13,SS5, 106 deadweight tons of ships on the seas. Although a cost of s206 a deadweight ton is indicated the actual cost to the government will be less, for the reasons he outlines as fol- lows:
 Some shipbuilders have paid into the United States treasury income and ex- cess profits taxes aggregating $40 a dead weight ton on the vessels they have con- structed. Others have paid the equiva- lent of $50 a ton. It is estimated that at least s25 deadweight ton has been returned to the treasury in this manner by all shipbulders.
 we sold one of our 7500-ton freighters to the National Shipping Corporation of New York for $211 d deadweight ton, and we have received from the Skinner & Eddy corporation an offer to buy, at present construc- tion costs, four S000-ton freighters which the Skinner X Eddy corpora ton itself is building. We sold one of our 5075-ton freighters to the Omega Steamship company of New York for s220 a deadweight ton and we have received from another firm

CALLS THE TREATY INF FAMOUS BARGAIN Chancellor Day Praises Sen- ators Who Are Opposing
 League of Nations.
By Associated PresA

Syracuse, N. Y. June S.--Chancellor James R. Day of Syracuse university condemned the league of nations as "an infamous bargain. in his commence ment address today.
 "The fear that should seize the heart of every red blooded citizen of this country today" the chancellor said, lis the position of the constitution of the United States, that is threatened in the settlement of world controversies at Paris We are urged to make an infamous bargain. We would not sur render one acre of the shores of our continent for peace dictated by the pirate of the seas. It is unthinkable that we should give our homes for peace. But examine the contract We are asked to give our national integ rity"
 Praising members of the Senate who are opposing the league project, he said: Thank God that there is a rem nant of statemen ship left standing be- tween American and the imperiIling quagmires of internationalism.

Dr. J. w. Johnson At
 Highlands Methodist

Sunday was great day at the High lands Methodist church.
 At Il o'clock the Rev. J. w. Johnson, gently returned from France, where he rendered heroic service as chaplain He was formerly the presiding elder of the Birmingham district, and is one of the most popular men who has ever served in this high office. A great audience greeted him yesterday and cordially vel comed him.
 Dr. Johnson's subject was, "A World in the Crucible,'' and he took his text as follows:
 John xii, s1-s2: Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out; and if I be lifted ur from the earth, will draw all men unto myself"
 Dr. Johnson said in part; Jesus was referring to a Judgment here and now. There had been many judgments before. A judgment is not necessarily a time of condemnation. It may be time of Justification, time of revealment that is favorable. Anyway it is time when you know what the world and men have been about. You know what thoughts they have been thinking and what ideals they have been eXaltlng, and you know whether they are good or bad. Things stand out clear cut and unvarnished. Such was the time of revealment and test in Jesus day and such is the time and test that we know today.
 The inwardness of things is revealed We know what the world has been do- ing. We can see where men have missed the trail. We can discern the things hidden before, that have played havoc with the destinies of men and of na- tions We can distinguish between the dross and the gold.
 It is in such times that men "cast out the evil. They can detect it. They are not longer deceived by glitter. It is in such times that they realize the need of a remedy for their ills, and are willing to offer it. A doctor must first diagnose a case before he can give the prescrip- tion
 Jesus never stopped with revealment, with diagnosis He never stopped with tearing down the old He always had something better than the old to offer The more 1 see of life, whether individ- ual or national, the more l realize that only Christ can save the world He has the only programme big enough and powerful enough to meet the need. And l, if l be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself"

an offer to buy four ships at the same price.
 Tn giving you this picture Of our finances, l have confined myself to facts and figures. I have made no mention of the unusual conditions under which our work was planne1 and carried out. However, it is in- teresting to note that the cost of our steel and machinery was three times it's normal cost. and that the wages we paid to labor were based upon double the normal rate. Also, it is interesting to consider in connection with the foregoing figures the fact that we expanded the shipbuilding in dustry tenfold in 10 months with high priced materials. and under the handi- cap of transportation delays which made the work very costly. In the prosecution of our work we have made many blunders, and finally, when we were compelled by the signing of the armistice suddenly to stop and reverse the ponderous machinery we had been driving at full speed. we found our selves confronted with new problems, through the mazes of which we are happy to report that we can now see our way clearly.
 'The interrelation of the shipbuilG- ing and ship operating industries is very close and the unprecedented con ditions which the war has imposed upon both of them cannot safely be adjusted to normal without carefully considered action by the government, al whose call they abandoned the nor- nal limita tions of commercial organ ization and adjusted themselves to the abnormal conditions of war. More over, the importance of those two great industries to the prosperity of the American people is so great that the necessity for establishing them upon healthy commercial basis is widely recognized as a prime matter of national politY."

The Gospel of Power
 Sermon By Dr. billiard

Dr. J. E. billiard preached a forceful
 sermon yesterday morning at the South
 side Baptist church, taking for his test;
 T am not ashamed of the Gospel for it
 is the power of God unto salvation to
 every one that believeth." Rom. 1:16.
 If any man ever was ashamed of the
 Gospel he ought to be ashamed of hSn-
 self said Dr. billiard. The Gospel has
 been the gulf stream of history. Those
 ideas and ideals that most vitally dis
 tinguish civilization are directly
 traceable to the Gospel. It has given us
 our ideas of the fatherhood of God. the
 brotherhood of man and the worth of
 the individual; it has emphasized the
 equality of woman, the rights of the child
 and the dignity of labor.
 "The Gospel has softened our laws,
 taught care and sympathy for the un-
 fortunate and inspired every kind of re- form, social service and philanthropy. It has given themes to our poets, models tss our artists and inspira ton to our must cians. Our educational system, our demo- cratic institutions, our missionary enter prises and our movements toward uni versal peace are monuments to it's bene- ficent influence. Whatever we may think of it's future, the gospel has been a pow CT in the past.
 What is this Gospel power? We can't afford to make a mistake here. There is no use preaching unless we have some thing worth while to preach. l would rather be a little man with a great Cos pei to preach than big man with a little Gospel The Gospel in its fullness stands for the love of God manifested through Jesus Christ. It means the doc- trines Jesus taught, the graces he re- vealed, the ordinances he established, the duties he enjoned, the promises he made and the work he accomplished and is accomplishing. The heart of it is The son of God loved me and gave Himself for me-
 What is the power of this gospel? The power of this Gospel is that it saves men from sin. The sin problem is the oldest, geatest and most difficult of all problems. There are many theories of sin but every theory calls for solu- tion. Many attempts have been made, but all failed till the Gospel was given. knew a man who had a small sore on his ear He tried salve, liniments, the X-ray and surgery, but all in vain. The trouble was in the blood So with sin. We have tried law, restraint, education, philosophy. Let us try the Gospel It
 does the business. I have seen it work.
 have tried it myself.
 ''It is no disparagement of a remedy
 to say it must be applied or of power
 to say it must be utilized Those who
 have tried the Gospel are satisfied with
 the results. The Gospel is the power of
 God unto salvation to every one that believeth."

"Help," Subject of
 Sermon by Dr. McNeill

Help" was the subject of very able sermon delivered by Dr. John McNeill at the South Highland Presbyterian church yesterday morning. Reading from the 12th chapter of the First Chronicles. he said it looked like list or catalog of names, very uninteresting and prosaic things. but the names contained in this chapter are inspiring. They are the names of the men who helped make David king.
 Christ is not king in Birmingham, said Dr. McNeill, but the people can make him king. In all of the churches of Birmingham this bright Sunday morn pie as are outside of them. And all that are inside the churches are not helping Christ.
 "A woman asked me one day, Do you believe the world is growing better? Not if they all wear long faces like yours. I responded. I do not refer to this to start an argument as to whether the world is growing better or worse, but for the purpose of pointing out that all who profess to be Christians are not helping Christ
 '.Help is very commonplace, unin- spring word, but as used in the 12th chapter of Chronicles it is in very beau tiful and inspiring settings
 He said there are more helpers today tndn ever DcIOicy tHdl tiiC HuiiiDCi VI ever increasing, and that not a ship goes out of an American or British har- Dor but carries missionaries, men and women who are taking the Gospel to Africa, India, Asia and all the islands of the seas. They are helpers, helping Christ, helping to make Christ king
 David was not king in Israel; Saui was king, but these men whose names appear like a catalog came out to help make David king. and they succeeded; they made him king said Dr. McNeill They were helpers. They left their homes and their business to help make David king.
 At the end of each year the officers in the Presbyterian church, and the oth- CTS, too. but speak of the Presbyterian church because I know it, meet and purge the roll. In other churches 1t may be called something else. but it means the same We strike from the roll the names of those who have moved away, perhaps taken their letters: those .vho have died and those who have sim ply disappeared.
