 Away Her Bile

Nancy, Ky-Mrs. Cora Waddle, resi- dent of this place, gives out this state ment. "I have taken Black -Draught and found if to be the best liver medicine ever used It has just been fine for ln- digestion. sour stomach and 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. began to have sick headache.
 After learning of Black-Draught I took it and was cured of sick headaches. One or two doses a week, or a pinch after meals, kept the bowels open and took away all bile. I have a good ap- petite, due to my use of Black Draught.s

Paraphrasng an Old Saying, Pictures May Come, And Pictures May Go, but the Griffith Masterpiece, The Birth of a Nation Goes on Forever Is

 There are some songs that neFeF grow old: Annie Laurie, Way Down Upon the Suwanee River Home, Sweet Home'-we love these best Some books there are which we never tire of reading: The Mill on the Floss "A Tale of Two Cities, Little Women"these are old friends without whom we'd feel lost: and cer- tainly on the pages of screen history in the days to come always among the favorites - heading the list in fact win be the romantic, historical, bear- tiful story of the old south and the days of strife and turmoil, out of which came the reconstruction of natlon which today stands paramount to lii others in the annals of the world.
 No picture could ever be made win such vivid background; no picture could ever be made with such tender memories clustering about it; no plc- ture could ever be made that could pos sibly make such a warm appeal to both north and south as Davis Wark Griffiths The Birth of a Nation,' and today the crowds which are thronslng the Trianon theatre to see this mar vicious production are quite as large as those who stood i'll line in front cf the Liberty theatre in New York anc paid s2 a seat in the early days when the picture was first shown.
 And everybody comes away liking the picture more than they liked It the first time they saw it; hidden charms, new meanings; an appreciation of detail, all these make their appeal to the spectator who perhaps the frs. time or two found himself too busy try ing not to miss anything to give atten- ton to those myriad small matter which go toward making the picture such a perfect production.

IMPORTANCE OF FIRST AID

It is of the utmost importance that every man and woman, every boy and girl understands first aid, in case of ac- cidents which are constantly occurring. When no doctor can be immediately se- cured a life may be saved by know ledge of first aid. First aid treatment does not take the place of a physicians services, but may be very necessary until they can be secured.
 The training is of practical value, not only to the individual when accidents and sudden illnesses occur in his own home. but through him, to the community Tn which he lives. and. to the public at large in great disasters. In district like Birmingham, where, at any moment terrible mining disasters may occur, 1t is of the utmost importance that this knowledge should be widely disseminated The life of an injured person often depends upon the care he receives from the first individual to aid him. The study of first aid is of the great est economic value to community, and where it has been adopted. the fatal re- l suits from accidents have been decreased wonderfully.
 1 The course is very short consisting Of only 10 lessons, and the expense is nomi- nal, only S5 cents, wif.eh includes the l text book.
 The Jefferson county chapter is start l ing a campaign for the conduct or ilrst aid classes, which will be held as soon as a group of 20 women is organized. l Any information can be obtained rom

small pail from its hook, she inquired

search. swell, I'll have to go with

Ten minutes later the hatless Rena
emerged from the grocery carefully
carrying the pail and, head down,
against the wind, hurried across the
street, turned the corner-and col.
lied with a young man who was ap-
preaching from the opposite rirec-
tion. There were direful results. The
"loose" milk no longer occupied the
pail. Most of 1t spread out over the
dark overcoat of the stranger, trick
ling thence to the sidewalk.
"Oh," exclaimed Rena. "What in
blazes-" began the young man. But
at this point he raised his head from
rueful contemplation Of the coat,
looked at the embarrassed girl and
shifted to this remark: "Its rather
a mess, isn't it"
Rena was forced to agree. IF you'll

I'll wipe 1t off with cold water, and

1t has been said that the young
man looked at Rena, but 1t has not
been related what he saw; and 1t was
what he saw, quite as much as. the
desire to have his coat made respect

to accept the invitation with alacrity.

and abundant, glossy brown hair, was
easy to look upon.
