FOR TORPID LIVER
Tennessee Lumberman Talks of His Successful Use of Black k-Draught
 for Colds and Headaches.

Jamestown, Tenn.-"I have used Ehedfords Black-Draught for years, in fact it is the only liver medicine that does me any good" says MT. L. A. Ragan, a well-known lumberman of tkis place. When I was single, I used it for headaches. and especially if get a cold and feel feverish, I take a good dose of Black-Draught, and it sets me right.
 2 Since 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. I can recommend Black craught, and gladly do SO"
 Every member of the family occa. gionalfy needs the assistance that Black-Draught can give, in helping to cleanse the system and relieve or pre- vent the troubles that come i.am 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 it's long and suc- cessful use, Thedford's Black Draught has been found in thousands of cases to relieve such disorders, by stimulat- ing the liver to do it's important work.
 Ask for Thedford's s Black-Draught, and insist on the genuine. NC-13l

SCHOOL TO INSTRUCT
 IN POULTRY RAISING

Little Rock. April 3O.-Over half the chicks matched this spring have been lost because of the cold wet weather. The average family should raise to sell from $50 to S20O worth of chicks every spring. To do'this it will be necessary to make May and June matches. Most people fail with chickens matched m these two months because ot losses from weather, lice, mites, rats and diseases. Those who know how to beat these pests find May and June the most profitable months for matching and raising chicks.
 To help every woman, girl, man and boy in Pulaski, Faulkner, Saline and Lonoke counties who raise chickens to make money from May and June matches, there will be practical poul- try school in Little Rock Friday and Saturday, May 6 and ', beginning each day at 10 a. m.
 This school will be free to every one interested in poultry. II. B. Lansden, poultry specialist of the state eXten- sion department, will have charge ot the instruction. He will be assisted by Mrs. Marie Johnson, poultry in structor of the state agricultural school, Russellville; Miss Florence Forbes, southern poultry expert of the Quaker Oats Company and the owner of one of the most successful Alabama poultry farms, and Marion Jacobson, poultry expert of Brown & Oglesby, one of the best poultrymen in Arkansas.
 Brown X Oglesby will give 100 pounds of poultry feed for the best dozen white eggs; 50 pounds for the second best and p pounds for the third

OLD EARTH REPLIES.

0 NE night just before the Spring O called her children to come forth in all their splendor of color and beauty, a little flower poked out its head and asked: Where does the snow go that covered the Earth all winter?"
 "Oh, what a useless question: said another flower; "who cares where the snow goes as long as it goes and we can come out and find the sun nice and warm?"
 ''I think it must go just as the rain does" said another flower who was ready to come out in the morning sun.
 But where Is that?' asked the first flower; that Is what want to know and no one can tell me-"

 "I wonder if the old Sunman drinks 1t up7' said the first little flower.
 "Oh! no; am sure he does not" said the tree. for he has all the water he wants nearer home. There are all the rain clouds right up there where he lives"

One morning, about three years ago, 1t showed very hard. It must have been about three feet deep. I wanted to make some money, so l went across the street from where I lived and asked the man who lived there if he did not want his snow shoveled of. He said, Go to It."
 It took me about two hours to shovel 1t off. l expected to get about 75 cents for 1t. l went to the door and asked for my money.
 Do you expect to get anything for shoyeling that snow off? Why, when was young we thought it good eXer- else to do little work like that once in a while. e."-Chicago Tribune.

 Fifty coal mines have already been placed totally and permanently out of commission through flooding.
 Only 13 steel furnaces out of 800 normally operated in England are in blast today, due to the shortage of fuel.
 Train schedules over all roads have been reduced 50 per cent and all ex- press trains discontinued for the period of the emergency
 The London city government will shortly restore the curfew law and leave the city lightless at nights as . fuel conserving measure. Daylight saving is advocated with prospect of being adopted by the government.

Ben Ami was rescued from the

Broadway by Arthur Hopkins.
Neither Bertha Kalisch nor Ma

English-speaking theatre by a

from obscurity by E. F. Albee and

Jewish players appear to be
equally successful when portray

types of roles. In Friendly

Bernard, both Jews, carried with
eminent results both sides of the
world war issue, one as German
and one as an American; such
luminaries as Adele Rowland,
Robert Warwick, Francine Larri

romance to mixed audiences.
Miss Larrimore, a niece of Jacob
Adler, the Yiddish actor, is at
present playing the smartest girl
role in New York, in one of New
York's foremost hits.
If there is an entertainer on
the boards who may be called
typically American, Sophie Tuck

She has been sui generis to rag

the floating song fashions, and
has created vogues in ballads and
national music.

The world has, indeed, had
plenty of opportunity to throw
stones at the Jew, were it so dis

This proves to the eW what
he little suspects unless he views
this monopoly of leaders face to

Christians are in the overwhelm-

evidence spontaneously and in
disputably enthusiastic affection

freely given to Jewish performers
than to players of any other race.
If there is one place on earth in
which one person may snub an
other, it is in the theatre, where
patrons can cut performers. The
fact that most patrons shower
their favor on Jews openly and
free-handedly, indicates beyond
dispute that the old impression
which holds that a Jew is power
