Road Booster Best Promoter
Of Public Interests.

The more we work for improved

pressed with the importance of good
roads in any community. Their value
can hardly be over-estimated.
Good roads are essential to social
intellectual, spiritual and economical

which the full benefits of homes,

be derived.
The road booster is the best pro-

Tot Makes Long Trip
 Vi0 the Parcel Post

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 31.- Thousands upon thousands of Christ mas packages came by train, auto mobile, boat and even airplane; but it remained for 6-year-old Helen Myers of Peoria, Ill.,, to make win ter migration to southern California as human parcel.
 When she left Ieoria, Helen wore small tag on her coat, showing that she was consigned t9 her uncle, Bert Totman, one of the letter carriers at tached to the Santa Monica postof- flee.
 Railroad mail men along the route were notified to take special care of the little girl, and she was permitted to ride in the mail cars most of the trip, sharing meals with the mail men there.
 Arriving in Los Angeles, the little girl was placed aboard the electric mail car to the beach city. She was taken off the car at Santa Monica along with the mail | gs, and she waited there until her .ncle calle | for his letters for distI; 'ltion.
 Totman put Helen in is mail bag, along with the letters, and carrie her home. "She was tle largest Christmas gift ever handled" he said today.
 The tot is here for her health.

AFTER WAR COFFEE.

People old enough to remember the civil war are able to recall the fact that after the close of that con fict it was difficult and often inn possible to obtain coffee.
 Various substitutes were used, such as parched rye, but one that was commonly utilized in Washington and many other cities was sweet potatoes. The latter was first rosated and al- lowed to burn somewhat on the out side. Then they were washed in water and boiled. The water was thus transformed into coffee, by no means as unpalatable as might be imagined.
 Sugar in those days cost 20 cents a pound. But the sweet potato coffee required no sugar, and so was an economical drink.

Yuietide Spirit Fails
 To SdUe Meanest Thief

Chicago, Dec. 31.-The Yule- spirit ran high in Judge 'Trude's court during the holidays. There was much of the "peace on earth ; good will toward men" sentiment displayed by the judge and attorneys.
 Then Jess Holt, negro, was called to the bar and Detective Ser geant Brophy placed on Judge Trude's bench pair of baby shoes and a little tin rattle wrapped in holly paper.
 He stole these from the handbag of woman who was poorly dressed" " said the officer.
 What have you to say?" thun- dered the judge.
 Holt mumbled something about being out of work
 Well" said the judge, some baby will not get Christmas gift and these things doubtless represent the skimping and saving by poor mother. You are the meanest thief l have encountered in long time. One hundred dollars and costs"

4 FAMILY
 MEDICINE
ln Her Mothers Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black Draught. Relief From Head
 ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ga.- Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: 'I am a user of Thedford's Black -Draught; in Tact, it was one of our family medicines. Also in my mothers home. when l was a child. When any of us ehild- ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us . dose of BlackDraught, which would rectify the trouble. Often In the Spring, we would have malaria ano chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty reg nlar until the liver acted well, Ahd we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without 1t. for 1t certainly has saved us lots or doctor bills. Just . dose of Black Draught when not % well saves lot of days in bed"
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been m use for many years in the treat. rnent of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which 1t TOW enjoys is proof of it's merit
 If your liver is not doing its duty, you will suffer from such disagree able sym ptoms as headache. bilious ness. constipation, indigestion, etc, and unless something is done, serious trouble may result.
 Thedford's Black -Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It Is purely vegetable. and acts in prompt and natural way. regulating the liver to It's proper functions and cleansing the bowels or impurities. Try it.. Insist on Thed- lords, the original and genuine. N 7s
