FOR TORPID LIVER
tennessee Lumberman Talks Of His
Successful Use Of Black-Draught
for Colds and Headaches.

jamestown, Tenn.-"I have used
Thedford's Black raught for years, in
fact it is the only liver medicine that
does me any good" says Mr.. L. A.
Ragan, a well-known 1umberman Of
this place. when l was single, / used
it for headaches, and especially if I
get cold and feel feverish, take a
good dose Of Black-Draught, and It
sets me right.
"Since-1 have been married, have
used it in my family, and never have
found its equal for torpid liver or dis
arranged stomach, especially with
children. can recommend Black
Draught, and gladly do so.'
Every member of the family occa-
sionalfy needs the assistance that
Black-Draught can give, in helping to
cleanse the system and relieve or pre-
vent the troubles that Come from a
lazy, torpid liver. ~
If your liver Is not doing its duty,
you may suffer with headache, consti-
patton, biliousness, indigestion, etc.
Unless relief is obtained. serious sick
ness may result. In its long and sue
cessful use, Thedford's Black-Draught
has been found in thousands of cases
to relieve such disorders, by stimulat-
ing the liver to do its important work.

on its way, came win Just enough
force to give him 40 kinds of head
ache in 40 different parts of his
head, and brought along with it
enough dust to finish the. chronological
transformation. It alsos carried him
back into the bin. He picked him
self up, found the corner of the bin,
most removed, and witnessed, as best
he could in the dark, the rather I'M
interesting ceremony of putting in a
ton of coal. He wanted to sneeze, but
would not permit himself the luxury.
He had to cough, but luckily timed it
to coincide with the passage of bag
full of coal down the chute. He won
dered when the goldman would reach
the last bagful. When he reached it,
Henry Immediately knew, for the ac-
commodating goldman carefully hooked
the window, on the outside, and
snapped the paddock.
Meanwhile the fun-loving Jones fam
lily anxiously awaited the return of
Mr.. Henry Carruthers, alias Santa
Claus. Half an hour. 'They must be
having a jolly time" Forty-five min
utes. No remarks. Anyhour. "Some-
body run over. No, we'll all go.'
In the Williams household nothing
unusual seemed to have happened.
They were delighted to see the
Joneses, of course. After five min
utes, a happy idea sent Jones home to
see If he had locked the door. His
investigation really concerned the Will
liams house instead. The back WIN
dow was securely locked-on the out
side. There was no sign of Henry in
the neighborhood.
Half an hour later Jones made q
clear breast of it. Abigail herself led
the rescue expedition. Henry would
have preferred to see anybody else.
An hour in the bathroom, and suit
IF Williams, and Mr.. Carruthers was
presented. It was really very merry
party that Christmas eve, after all-al-
together too merry, for Henry.
Yet, had Henry only known it, SYM
pathy is often the awakening of love.

GUS intent. An old overcoat of Jones'
muffled about him concealed red cos
tune of some sort, and bag. The
bag contained sundry packages with
sundry sharp corners, but this was
known only to the mysterious stranger.
He found the window unlocked, &c
cording to specifications, but to his as
tonishment it opened outward instead
of inward. He also made horrify-
ing discovery. He had expected to
drop lightly to the basement floor, find
his way to the stairway, whose loca-
ton had been described to him, and
make his way upstairs to surprise the
family. But Jones had said nothing
about coal chute. Yet here was q
chute with sides that were unsur-
mountable. A flicker Of flame shin
ing through the mica of the furnace
showed that the way was clear. But
what would coal chute do to his
Santa Claus outfit? To chute or not
to chute, that was the question.
Fate decided him. He distinctly
heard the click of the back gate.
"Good gosh!' thought Henry, ''here
comes somebody And, without

pause for further thought, he seized
the bag and shot the chute into the
unknown.
He landed in a coal bin nearly
empty of coal, but plentifully gar
nished with dust. A minute later an
interior door opened from the region
above, excited voices were heard, and
ray Of light shot into another part
Of the basement. The chute seemed
to offer the only protection. Back
into it he climbed and lay there quiz
city.
"Oh, it's just the man with the COAL"
said a female voice above. And the
door closed again.
Poor Henry now pondered what to
do. He couldn't go up in the state he
was. He had never seen any pictures
of st. Nicholas represented as an Eth
opian. Anyway, his perils were over
for the moment. Were they? There
was footstep outside and into the
chute came pouring a bagful of mixed
nut and egg. Henry had quite for
gotten about the mysterious click Of
the gate, the coal man and all, and had
no way of knowing, of course, that the
holiday rush had made that coal man
late.
There was no time or way to escape
or dodge. The coal. sliding merrilY

often meets that, too. At a pic-
mic it is the man who offers to carry
the water who gets his feet wet, or
sits down in the squash pie. It Is the
good-natured man who has the most
need Of good nature, for he is always
getting into trouble that is properly
the property of somebody else. Christ
mas, especially, offers many golden
opportunities to the fellow who is
willing to oblige.
There was the case of Henry Car
ruthers, for example. "Finel" said
Henry when he received an invitation
to spend Christmas with the Joneses at
suburban villa in a suburban vii
lage. Jones had been an office mate
of his. Then he married and, hay-
ing made a little money, some say by
the marriage, he retired to the subur-
ban villa aforesaid. Carruthers re-
manned bachelor, toiler, and a city
dweller. But he would have been Will
ing to change at least two Of those
conditions If he had dared to think
that Jones' sister, Miss Abigail, would
be willing to change her title from
Jones" to the somewhat classier one
Of "Carruthers."
"Come up and spend Christmas with
u.s." wrote Jones. at will be rather
a quiet Christmas, but Abigail will be
here, and we shall try to find some
thing to keep your time and your mind
occupied"
A quiet Christmas had no terrors for
Henry. And there was Abigail. So he

The train was on time, and so was
Henry. They whizzed him out to the

mot when you are present." replied
Henry Observation-Disclosures by sudden
realization that maybe that didn't
sound as gallant as he had intended.
At the dinner table Jones unfolded
the great plan. "We've fixed up the
Jolliest scheme" he declared with en-
thusiasm, land you are just the fellow
to put it over for us!"
Just the fellow!" echoed Abigail.

The Banner has priorly run more
than one article dealing with the result
Of the convention Of Southern cotton
men held in Memphis OH the 7th and
Sth. However, here u an article on
that subject, written by w. M. Steele,
secretary for the Louisiana Division OF
the American Cotton Association, and
appearing In last weeks issue OF Mod
ern Farming, that should have wide
publicity. It gives; a report OF the meet
ing in condensed form and sets forth
the present aims of its acreage reduc-
tion committee. Read what Mr.. Steele
has to say:
Those who promoted the cotton con-
ference In Memphis on December 7til
and Sth picked out the psychological
moment for a great forward step for
the cotton industry, though no doubt
their minds were filled with thoughts
of the present emergency. and the.
gave little or no heed OF the future.
While they were tackling the gresid
problem of the present, and aprnrentl,
finding d solution Of it. they found alst
the solution Of the problems Of thu

Equitable Reduction in Cotton
Acreage Now Seems Assured

Public sentiment will stand behind
its observance, and the recalcitrant will
become pariah among his fellows.
Though the Southern farmer enjoys
practically Il monopoly Of the prOluc-
ton Of the commodity most essential TO
mankind. he has seldom il ever reaped
any profit from his production. Periods
of prosperity and periods Of depression
have come and many have waxed fat
on cotton Iii tile fat years. but for the
farmer, it has been almost succession
of lean years, and he has been unable
to lay anything by with which to meet
those years which were leaner than
the others. There are many contrihut-
ing causes to this anomalous situation,
but the principal cause has been the
Southern farmers failure to grow any
thing else but cotton. With all OF his
eggs In one basket If he sold at high
price, he bought his necessities OF life,
and sometimes few luxufies. but
when he sold at a sacrifice, he had
nothing and was dependent upon his
merchant or banker to tide him over
the darker period.
Now the farmer is not the only one
| to blame for this condition. With his
