Honest Debts

These are called honest debts
and so they are, when paid off,
otherwise they are dishonest
debts.
The man who refuses to pay his
debts is as guilty of crime as the
man who robs bank or holds UP
a pedestrian in an alley. Surely,
he is more contemplate than the
robber, for the "hold-up" takes a
chance.
There are men, of course, with
whom fortune has dealt unkindly
men who can't pay. Their
debts are honest debts; but the
professional deadbeat cam o
claim honesty or even good inten-
tions. He knows he is not going
to pay. He uses every means of
obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses, practices theft day in and
day out, and is not subject to
reformation for the very good
reason that he is too lazy to work,
too eowardly to steal, minus self
respect, shameless, and has a cal.
loused conscience.
If you owe any one, for the love
of Mike! pay them if you can. II
you can't pay say so.
This applies equally to all men,
Too many people are lax in meet.
ing their obligations. Some few
take liberties with our money,
and we wish they would either
send a check or say they are
broke.
Otherwise, we will use up all
the postage stamps in the world
asking for payment. Let's all
pay up, clean up and feel better

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: II am user
of Thedford's Black Draught; In fact,
1t was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when l
was child. When any of us child
rem complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
q dose of Black -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-D -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 dose of Black
Draught when not so well saves a
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-D -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 valuable remedy for these
troubles. 1t is purely vegetable, and
acts in prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels OF
impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thed'

Bologna, June 27.-The trial of

der OF Ruth Crugar, in New York in
1917, has been interrupted to enable
the court to examine the American
court records with reference to testi-
mony given in the Cocchi case re-
garding Cocchi's wife.
There was a spirited exchange be-
tween Signor Bagnoli, president Of
the court and Cocchi yesterday.
Cocchi told OF having sawed the
body of Miss Cruger so that he might
hide it. Then he broke down, cry
ing in a broken voice:
81 took the body and tried to con-
ceal it in the cellar, but the door was
not large enough and l sawed the
body in two. The girl was dead
when this was done"
Then followed a discussion be
tween Signor Bagnoli and Cocchi as
to whether the girl was dead before
her body was dismembered. The
whole courtroom was aghast at the
prisoners narration. but Cocchi rap.
idly proceeded with his story. being
apparently very nervous.

A COVETED POSITION

To clinch his argument for the
league of nations, President Wilson
will make a speaking tour OF the
United States. Not only will the
president make a campaign pleading
for support of the league, but the
league to enforce peace organization
is to make a systematic tour OF the
country and intend to speak at every
fair and on every chautauQua circuit
in the country. Robert d. Leigh, Of
Reed college at Portland, has been
appointed director OF the Oregon
speakers drive"
The people are, because of the
late war, in just the right frame of
mind to take kindly to the league,
whether it is the proper course for
the United States to pursue or not.
Probably they go on the theory that
we can accept and repent at our lei
sure. If any certain religious de-
nomination is going to predominate
in the league-as is charged that the
Catholics are doing-we are stepping
on dangerous ground if we swallow
the league. wisconsin and untried
theories.
BY INTERVENING the peace terms
with the league, the president has
taken the boldest step ever taken by
any president. He will hand the
package to congress and if that body
rejects it, he will place all the blame
on them for the confusion that is
sure to follow. If they accept it,
Woodrow Wilson will in all probab-
ility become president of the league
which position he would undoubtedly
prize more than being president OF
the United States.
